What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

It's time for another Frankie favourite here on Film Junk: the 1988 road trip dramedy Rain Man! This one was a huge blockbuster at the time and went on to win four Oscars including Best Picture. But has it been forgotten and a little underappreciated over the years? Was Dustin Hoffman right to question his own performance? Was Tom Cruise snubbed by the Academy that year? Did Hans Zimmer's score break new ground or was it just following '80s trends? Would Raymond really say "Kmart sucks"? Definitely three minutes to Wapner... hurry up and listen to this week's episode of the Film Junk Podcast.

What really happened to hatred in America after World War II?Most of us were taught that defeating Hitler marked a turning point — that America emerged from the war more tolerant, more unified, more committed to its democratic ideals. Historian Steven J. Ross is here to tell us that story is a myth. And he has the documents to prove it.In this episode, Rabbi Yoshi sits down with one of America's most compelling Jewish historians to discuss Ross's new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy — a USA Today bestseller that uncovers a hidden chapter of postwar American history. When the war ended, antisemitism and racism didn't recede. They surged. Organized hate groups more than doubled between 1940 and 1946, and a network of domestic terrorists set about — in their own words — finishing the job Hitler had begun.But that's only half the story. The other half is about the people who fought back: the citizen-spies recruited by the ADL, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anti-Nazi League, who infiltrated these groups at great personal risk and brought their dangerous work to light. Their names have been largely forgotten. Ross gives them back to us.Rabbi Yoshi and Steve talk about the history, what it illuminates about this moment in American Jewish life, and — in true Search for Meaning fashion — where a man who has spent his career in some of the darkest chapters of human experience still finds hope and meaning.About Steven J. RossSteven J. Ross is Dean's Professor of History at the University of Southern California and the Myron and Marian Casden Director of the Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life. The first person in his family to go to college, he holds degrees from Columbia, Oxford, and Princeton.His books include Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and Los Angeles Times bestseller; Hollywood Left and Right: How Movie Stars Shaped American Politics, winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Film Scholars Award; and Working-Class Hollywood: Silent Film and the Shaping of Class in America, nominated for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.His latest book is The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy (Bloomsbury, 2026).More at his USC Dornsife faculty page: https://dornsife.usc.edu/profile/steve-ross/Learn about the book at https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/secret-war-against-hate-9781635578003/

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Hinge, Feeld – whatever your dating preference, there's an app for it. Gone are the days of hitting the town in the hopes of catching someone's eye in a busy bar. People moan about their problems, and some want to leave digital dating behind, but for today's generation, the first spark often happens over a keypad. Should we be worried about the prevalence of online dating? For some, the game-like approach to virtual romance, with love thwarted or given a chance with a swipe of the thumb, is degrading. Novara Media's Aaron Bastani recently called for a ban on dating apps, as they ‘encourage the worst possible behaviour towards other people'. Others argue that the addictive nature of online dating, where multiple partners can be found at the touch of a button, has fed the addictive and attention-deficit qualities of an already fidgety generation. When love is always just a click away, why would anyone stick with just one partner? On the other hand, without online dating many argue that finding love would be near impossible. Pub closures, lockdown-hangover regulation on social spaces and less intergenerational mixing means it can be hard out there to meet someone the old-fashioned way. Many argue that panics about online dating foget that the app is just a tool to facilitate what people continue to do – meet up in person and carry on as normal. Building a profile online is no different to a lonely-hearts advert in the paper, or wearing your best dress and standing by the bar. Is love only worthwhile if it's found in the flesh? Is the boom in hook-up apps merely the straight world catching up with what gays have been enjoying for some time? Should we loosen up about online dating? Or is there something lost when it comes to romance if the story we tell our kids of how we first met starts with a ‘swipe right'?

You got the meeting. Now what? In this installment of Abundant Vision Academy, Tom walks through exactly how to run a donor meeting from start to finish, and why the first 15 minutes have nothing to do with money.You'll learn why you must be upfront about your role as a fundraiser from the very first meeting, how to transition from rapport building to your presentation without it feeling awkward, and what to do when a donor shows up angry. Spoiler: an angry donor is almost always better than an indifferent one. Tom shares the story of a disgruntled dental alum who turned his frustration into tens of thousands of dollars in gifts, and why that outcome was completely predictable.Then Tom gets into the pre-solicitation, the often-skipped step that separates fundraisers who close gifts from those who get surprised by a no. You'll hear how to ask for permission to have the gift conversation, how to read a donor's response when they push back on a number, and why Tom almost always goes in at double what he's hoping to close.This is Parts 6, 7, and 8 of a 10-part series releasing every two weeks.

If you've ever stood in the pharmacy aisle wondering if there's another way, something gentler than another round of antibiotics, you're not alone. So many parents come into my practice asking the same question. Is there something else we can reach for before we go the prescription route? This episode is for anyone who has ever wanted a few trusted, natural tools on hand for the everyday bumps, illnesses, and dental moments that come up in family life.I sat down with Joette Calabrese, a homeopathic expert who has spent decades teaching what she calls practical homeopathy, a simplified, protocol based approach that regular people, not just practitioners, can learn and use confidently at home.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What homeopathy actually is, and why it's often confused with the broader term "holistic"The history of homeopathy in the US, including why it was pushed to the margins for decadesWhy a young child's developing immune system benefits from fewer unnecessary interventions in the first few years of lifeSpecific remedies Joette recommends having on hand, including Arnica Montana, and what conditions each one can supportHow to start building your own home apothecary and become the "go to" person your family and friends call onAbout Joette Calabrese: Joette Calabrese has been teaching practical homeopathy for decades, helping mothers, grandmothers, and health minded people learn to use natural remedies with confidence and clarity. She runs the Academy of Practical Homeopathy and leads study groups through her Gateway to Homeopathy program, making a historically complex subject approachable for everyday families.Key Insights: One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Joette's reminder that these remedies don't manipulate the body, they correct it. Whether the blood is too thick or too thin, whether the body is under or overreacting, homeopathic medicine works with the body's own intelligence rather than overriding it.We also talked about why so many people are turning back toward these natural approaches. As Joette put it, people are tired of taking a pill to fix the symptom from the previous pill. That resonates deeply with how I practice dentistry too, always looking for the root cause instead of just managing symptoms.Connect With Joette Calabrese on IG

Los Angeles hides an almost overwhelming number of ghosts behind its glamour, from the piano-playing spirit at Hollywood's Magic Castle and the body found in the Cecil Hotel's water tank to the sex-magick rocket scientist, Father Yod's robed disciples, and the cults that made the City of Angels a capital of the occult.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/hauntedlaREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p98dtw7CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:24.727 = Hollywood's Haunted Magic Castle00:09:13.905 = Los Angeles' Haunted Hotels ***00:27:05.636 = Los Angeles: City of the Occult ***00:51:50.907 = L.A.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.

At the United States Air Force Academy, time is a commodity. Now entering his 20th season coaching the Falcons, Matt McGettigan explains how he works within the constraints of Division I football at one of the sport’s most distinctive programs. He talks through the reality of the Air Force Academy, where class schedules, military requirements, and sleep routines influence training decisions. A teacher by trade, McGettigan breaks down how the Air Force Academy aligns its performance team and why movement is a separator in its system. He also explains what it means to be the program’s “standard bearer.” McGettigan then walks through a typical day with the team, restorative water-based recovery, and maximizing pre- and post-competition 72-hr windows. Along the way, he reflects on family, mentorship, and preparing athletes for service and life beyond the Academy. Listen for hard-earned lessons to manage cumulative stress, build competition-week readiness, and keep the growth mindset that sustains a long coaching career.

As we're developing leaders, it's a leadership institution that men and women are going out and serve their country in different various areas. But that's the other thing that I take great pride in is seeing these young men that have come in here and have grown as men. And now as they come back and come through the door, what they've done as fathers and as husbands, as Air Force officers, is pretty impactful. And that's why it keeps me coming to work every day.” 11:50 “My recommendation would be find people that can help you along the way and never be afraid to ask for help. Have a continuous growth mindset, a learning mindset. The longer I do this, Eric, the more I learn. I need to know and the more I don't know right? And and have that ability to have a passion for teaching and coaching.” 26:25 “We tell our players this, we're always going to tell you the why. We're always going to have your best interest in mind and we'll always tell you the truth. Those are things that when you have trust, you have truth. And then they know that you're coming from an area that you do care for them. You can still coach them. You can still hold them to a high standard and accountability, because in any organization, there's accountability and getting players again to try to understand the why and the how and then again, let them take the ownership of it and be a get a player led team...” 28:50
DJz left town, so naturally the ShowCast seized control of Talking Trek! Tarpy, Matters, Puttz and Destro take over the studio for a wide-ranging discussion about the current state of Star Trek Fleet Command. Has anything released since April been genuinely essential? Are the Athena, Female Spock, Territory Control additions and Academy progression changing the wider game, or are they simply powerful tools locked inside their own loops? The crew breaks down modern G6 progression, faction ship requirements, Territory hostile mechanics, Female Spock crewing, Duo Wave Defense, the Academy refinery, officer laurels and the massive Sigma resource requirements waiting on the road to G7. Community members also join the stage to share their experiences and debate whether STFC's renewed focus on existing content is finally moving the game in a healthier direction. The conversation also covers upcoming Alliance Tournament changes, the pause created by the Anthology arc, player choice, content creator feedback and whether now is finally a good time for hesitant commanders to enter G6. And because this is a ShowCast takeover, the episode eventually abandons all discipline and becomes a heated debate about the greatest adaptation of The Odyssey.

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1931 film Tabu: A Story of the South Seas. I'm joined by James Kreul from the Moving Image Madison newsletter and we talk about how the film's pacing suffers due to trying to blend documentary filmmaking with a loose narrative structure, the film's influence on modern films set in the same region like Moana, and the sad passing of the film's director just a week before it debuted.You can watch Tabu on Amazon Prime or YouTube or purchase a copy for yourself and be sure to check out James's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:All Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis MilestoneDracula directed by Tod BrowningNanook of the North directed by Robert J.

Every year when I go to the beach, I have the same thought: Are there sharks out there in that dark water? It's not an irrational fear. Years ago, a student at my university, Lucas Ransom, was surfing off the California coast when a great white shark attacked him. I didn't know him personally, but we went to the same school, and some of my closest friends were in his classes. I still remember walking into class the next morning and hearing the story from one of my professors. You just don't forget something like that. And maybe that's why sharks have always felt so real to me, and not just like mysterious creatures from a documentary. Is it safe to swim off the Pacific and Atlantic coast? Let's talk about it. After all, the timing is right! It's summer, and Shark Week kicks off on July 26 in the U.S. — Discovery Channel's 38th annual deep-dive into all things sharks. For one week, it feels like the whole country is talking about these creatures: their behavior, their migration patterns, and the (very small) odds of ever encountering one. :) Ready to keep building your English? ⭐ Try our Free 14-Day English Slang and Expression Challenge.⭐ Or dive deeper — learn more about the Academy.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture With the release of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" arriving in theaters, our 2008 retrospective revisits his comic book action film that not only re-defined the genre, but changed the whole industry up until the Oscar nominations where it forced the Academy to expand the Best Picture lineup for the first time in decades, "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. Co-written with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the world had never seen a comic book film quite like Christopher Nolan's crime epic. Marked by the untimely passing of Heath Ledger before its release, the film had a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it during the summer of 2008 and continues to be talked about till this day for Ledger's iconic, Academy Award-winning performance, Nolan's grounded realism borrowing from other crime classics such as "Heat," the film's politics and how it directly commented on the Patriot Act, its themes of escalation, chaos, vigilantism and more! How does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Please tune in as Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Amy Kim, Brendan Hodges, and I talk about the film's screenplay, Nolan's direction, the performances, the action sequences, the film's historic awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

You do not need a massive marketing budget to start showing up on Google. We break down five high impact SEO moves that design and remodeling companies can tackle first, especially if you are tired of relying only on referrals or expensive ads. Jason shares the same practical guidance he gives other remodelers when they ask what they can do now, on their own, to build momentum with search.We start with the foundation: your Google Business Profile. We talk about fully completing the profile, using the available space to describe services in detail, and making small but meaningful updates like holiday hours. Then we shift into local SEO strategy, including creating city pages and using location based keywords so you can compete in your real service area and improve your chances of landing in the map pack for “remodeler near me” searches.From there, we get into content that actually differentiates you: documenting the design and remodeling journey from the first meeting through selections, demolition, installation, and the final reveal. We also cover why reviews matter for both rankings and trust, when to ask for them, and how video or detailed written feedback can help. We close with user experience tips, including mobile optimization and site speed, so your website performs well for both visitors and search engines.If you found this helpful, subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode with a design pro who wants more qualified leads from SEO. What is the first fix you are going to make?Below are the Top 10 tips discussed:Optimize for Local Search Everywhere: Focus heavily on city-specific service pages, Google Business Profile optimization, and local keywords to dominate local search results.Create Project-Based Content: Showcase detailed before-and-after projects, case studies, and renovation stories to build authority and rank for long-tail searches.Prioritize Google Business Profile (GBP): Consistently update photos, reviews, services, posts, and FAQs because GBP remains critical for local lead generation.Use AI-Assisted SEO Strategically: Use AI tools for research, outlines, optimization, and scaling content while keeping the expertise and voice human.Build Topical Authority: Create clusters of content around kitchens, bathrooms, additions, cabinetry, and remodeling topics to improve overall search relevance.Optimize for Voice & Conversational Search: Write content that answers natural homeowner questions since voice and AI-assisted search continue to grow.Focus on High-Quality Visual SEO: Properly optimize project images, alt text, video content, and file names because visual search is becoming increasingly important.Improve Website Speed & User Experience: Fast-loading, mobile-friendly websites with strong navigation and clear calls-to-action rank and convert better.Generate Consistent Reviews & Reputation Signals: Positive reviews across Google and other platforms strongly influence rankings, trust, and conversions.Create Content for Every Stage of the Remodeling Journey: Develop SEO content that helps homeowners from inspiration and budgeting to hiring and project planning.Transform your marketing with Designer Discussions Academy.
