Does every podcast need a lesson, or can a good story be enough? In today's evaluation, we examine Shared Delights, a short-form storytelling podcast designed to offer warmth, humor, and a brief escape. Instead of aiming for transformation or instruction, the show focuses on how a story feels in the moment and what it gives the listener emotionally. Using Shared Delights as a case study, we take a close look at how pacing, pauses, and delivery shape clarity and attention. We explore sound design choices and how music and effects can either support the story or pull focus away from it. We also talk about the balance between structure and spontaneity, and why alignment between intention, sound, and presentation matters more than polish alone. Just a reminder: entertainment and escapism are valid podcast goals. This episode invites podcasters to listen to their work the way their audience does and consider how each choice shapes the experienceEpisode Highlights:[02:18] Empowered Podcasting Conference announcement[04:38] Evaluation of the Shared Delights podcast[06:32] Listener feedback and early suggestions[14:00] Cover art and branding discussion[30:42] Crafting an enticing show title[32:47] The importance of pacing and clarity[36:58] Enhancing the experience with sound design[49:31] Discoverability and growth strategiesLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Shared Delights (Wedding Crasher): https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pfvQbyTC2J4j7f07RlgTb?si=DAciGVe4TRqSeyq5Glnb3wShared Delights Naked Eureka: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gIMkfSyZDCZb07Jzzlx5pPodpage: https://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmediaMatthew Bliss' Cover Art Revision #1: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wwqru8i9ovo0dzc69pba8/SharedDelights_CoverArt.jpg?rlkey=q0da5tpxr6sufk9fhqp3lu14j&st=xniphsrv&dl=0Cover Art Revision #2: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/djp3p40uzi6bl1xm8sxlc/SharedDelights_CoverArt2.jpg?rlkey=3kjin994w8ci4qckkulql4ewb&st=ez35nof5&dl=0To Have Your Podcast Considered For Evaluation, Please Complete This Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45URemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Fun with Self-Hatred (Bandhu Dunham)

Self-hatred is characterized by a critical voice that goes beyond constructive evaluation. It operates visibly and invisibly and can be transmitted between generations. It doesn't work to try to paste self-love on top of self-hatred. There's a spiritual idea that the universe, including negative manifestation, exists for God's entertainment. Forms of self-hatred may involve high achievement, romantic masochism, shyness, imposter syndrome, persistent anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, and grandiosity. Origins of self-hatred include emotional neglect and abuse. Addictive behavior regenerates self-hatred. With self-hatred, the three roles of the drama triangle (victim, abuser, rescuer) can show up in one person. Self-hatred takes so much energy that battling with it can seem to be the point of life. In Buddhist psychology, it's said that we spin our perception of reality into existence and that our natural state is stillness but we get bored with it. Things happen in life that allow the truth of reality to break through. Recognizing self-hatred is key to learning to move beyond it. Self-doubt can kill our impulses so we don't risk getting hurt again. Every neurotic manifestation has a flip side. Self-hatred can start us on a path of seeing ourselves more clearly. It unravels with self-acceptance. Self-observation is more than just mental analysis; it involves feeling what is going on in the body. In meditation we learn to be present and see ourselves more clearly. Humility and restraint can be upsides of self-hatred. A component of self-hatred is cultural. There is a certain tension that is necessary—a struggle between yes and no—on the path of transformation. Taking a step back, gaining perspective, and humor are helpful in working with self-hatred. Idiocy is part of the human condition. Bandhu Dunham is the author of Creative Life and an internationally recognized glass artist and teacher.

Can the government regulate social media features because they are “addictive”? Eugene Volokh and Jane Bambauer talk with Emory Law professor Matthew Lawrence about whether features like infinite scroll, personalized feeds, “near-miss” reward patterns, and dopamine-driven engagement tactics are comparable to gambling or even drug addiction — and whether that means the government can step in. The conversation digs into current lawsuits, whether there's a constitutionally significant difference between content and design, how addiction is defined in law and neuroscience, and what First Amendment limits exist when regulating digital platforms. A smart, fast-moving discussion for anyone curious about the future of free speech, tech regulation, and the psychology behind our screens.

Is cheese really addictive? According to Dr. Neal Barnard, the answer is a resounding YES. The brain reacts nearly identically to cheese as it does narcotics and alcohol. While it sounds shocking, these claims are backed by science. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll sits down with the author of The Cheese Trap to uncover how opioid-like compounds concentrated in cheese—activate powerful pleasure pathways, why U.S. cheese consumption has exploded to nearly 40 pounds per person per year, and how the dairy industry keeps us hooked. You'll discover: • The opiate chemistry of cheese • How cheese contributes to obesity and diabetes • The link between dairy hormones and breast cancer • Why kids are showing early artery damage • Which cheeses contain the highest casomorphin levels • The surprising role of sodium and saturated fat • How quitting cheese can dramatically improve health If you've ever said, "I could go vegan except for cheese," this is an episode you cannot miss.

Whether it's pizza, chocolate, ice cream or French fries, you've no doubt noticed that your favourite guilty pleasure food just seems to be so addictive! You start eating and you just can't stop. Why is that then? Actually, it's because of their high sugar, fat or salt content. Unfortunately, some highly processed foods contain a combination of all three. That can lead to a dopamine surge, which is sometimes as strong as what people get from nicotine. The taste, texture, or composition of these addictive foods activate the reward system and make us want to eat them over and over. We're no longer eating out of hunger, but due to a craving for instant pleasure. Are there any studies on the subject? How on earth can we tell the difference between indulgence and addiction then?

They unpack the impact of geopolitical dynamics, such as the Trump administration's stance against European digital rules, and how this creates new space for other countries ranging from Australia to Brazil, to come forward with new platform regulation proposals rather than simply following the EU's lead.

In this weeks cannabis news we have 5 stories to cover! Macky has a piece from The Independent tackling the old “you can't get addicted” claim that's been floating around for decades. Time to put the myth in the grinder and talk about what the evidence really shows. Billy follows up with UK Medical Cannabis Awareness Month, where campaigners, clinicians, and industry heads are finally pushing together to build momentum. Big names are talking, but whether anything moves in the UK… well, that's always the question. Margaret brings us a fun one from the research world: smell, not potency, is the best predictor of what people actually choose. Shocking absolutely no one who has ever stuck their nose in a jar and made a decision on instinct. Margaret also looks at Canada and a tourism wave that's waiting to explode, but only if regulators stop tripping over their own shoelaces. There's huge potential, but the rules need to grow up a bit first. And John wraps things up with an unexpected twist in the U.S.: a new GOP-backed bill that aims to reverse the hemp-derived THC ban Trump literally just signed into law. Yes, you read that correctly.  A lively mix this week, science, politics, policy, tourism, and the usual roller-coaster logic that comes with trying to regulate a plant.

Tired of hearing that mass timber is “promising” but not practical? We dig into what actually moves the needle: turning raw products into clean, repeatable systems that installers love and owners can price with confidence. No fluff—just the playbook that took projects from pause to go, even as tariffs and supply shocks rattled budgets.We start with the shift from panels to platforms: shaft wall systems that swap in for CMU without fuss, union training and mock‑ups that build real‑world confidence, and a timber bay approach designed for warehouses and data centres. Then we unpack a standout case study—the Amazon final‑mile warehouse in Indiana—where early alignment around a mass‑timber‑forward hybrid, local forests, and a tight grid delivered speed, beauty, and over 40 sustainability strategies. When teams coordinate around the module, cost and schedule stop fighting each other.Data centre interiors get a rethink too. A patent‑pending CLT base for electrical equipment skids replaces thick steel plates, shortens lead times, and can generate significant sustainability wins. Pair that with the rise of modular, edge data centres and you've got a new standard for fit‑out speed and embodied carbon reduction. Along the way, we make the case for hybrid construction as the default future: concrete where it belongs, steel where it performs, and timber where it excels. Use a practical “purity” lens and real invoice volumes to find the tipping points for cost and carbon, region by region.This conversation champions regional species and honest specs—span tables over wish lists, performance criteria over perfection. Knots are not defects; they're the story of the forest. And that story extends to circularity: repeatable grids that enable disassembly, second‑life panels, and cross‑market reuse, all supported by a healthy whole‑tree economy that includes sawmills, bioenergy, and paper.

Ultra-processed food addiction in a nationally representative sample of older adults in the USA  Addiction Using a cross-sectional online and telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of older adults (aged 50–80 years) in the US, this study examined the prevalence of ultra-processed food addiction (UPFA) in older US adults and its association with various health domains.  It found that ultra-processed food addiction appears to be prevalent among older adults in the US, particularly among women who were in adolescence and early adulthood when the nutrient quality of the US food supply worsened. Addictive patterns of UPF intake appear to be associated with poorer physical health, mental health, and social well-being.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

A new study is making headlines — not because kids are on screens too much, but because many can’t stop. Dr Justin Coulson unpacks fresh research linking addictive screen use (not screen time itself) with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in teens. Learn what “addiction” really means, why it’s not an official diagnosis, and how to protect your child without constant conflict. KEY POINTS The latest data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study shows addictive patterns of screen use — not hours online — are tied to poorer mental health. “Addictive” use means kids feel distress when not online, use screens to regulate emotions, or can’t stop even when it causes problems. There’s no official “screen addiction” diagnosis, but the behaviour patterns are real — and concerning. Justin shares practical strategies using the Three E’s of Effective Discipline to reduce conflict and foster healthy habits. Real-life example: how the Coulson family handled screen boundaries with collaboration, not control. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Time on a device isn’t the problem. It’s when kids can’t stop that their mental health starts to suffer.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, JAMA Psychiatry, June 2024 Screen "addiction" and mental Health - Technosapiens Tools: Freedom App, Forest App, Brick, Unplug Childhood Framework: The Three E’s of Effective Discipline (Explore, Explain, Empower) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have a calm conversation about how and why your child uses screens. Model mindful use — show your own limits and honesty about the struggle. Create structure, not punishment — consistent times, agreed limits.

What if the ways we keep getting stuck in relationships aren't just bad habits, but the natural outworking of how we're wired to bond—and to protect ourselves from pain? In this episode of Typology, I sit down with psychologist and couples counselor Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby (a freshly discovered Seven with an Eight wing) to talk about the intersection of attachment, addiction to love, and the Enneagram. We explore why love itself can feel addictive, how that longing for connection sometimes binds us to the wrong person or pattern, and why recovery communities often work—they help us reattach to what's good, true, and life-giving. Along the way we dig into common Enneagram pairings, the myth of perfect compatibility, and the real gift of learning to honor differences, see blind spots, and practice repair. If you've ever wondered why you tend to chase, withdraw, fix, or move on too quickly—and how to love with more courage and steadiness—you'll find this conversation both practical and deeply hopeful.   ABOUT DR. LISA MARIE BOBBY Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby is a licensed marriage and family therapist, psychologist, board certified coach and author of Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love.  She is the founder of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching, an internationally recognized practice focused on love, happiness, and success.

Should a 14-Year-Old Have a Phone? (Special Podcast Highlight)

The Patrick Madrid Show

When it comes to raising teenagers in today’s digital world, parents often face this big question: “Should my teenager have a phone?” It’s about safety, responsibility, and protecting kids from the bad corners of the internet. On The Patrick Madrid Show, a young listener named Jacob from Massachusetts calls in with a bold request. His parents had told him that if Patrick gave the green light, they’d buy him a phone. So, what is Patrick’s advice? Smartphones vs. “Dumb Phones” Patrick says that if Jacob had asked for an iPhone or Android, the answer would have been a resounding “no.” Why? Because, as Patrick put it, “Handing a 14-year-old a smartphone is like giving him a stick of dynamite.” The dangers are real: -Easy access to inappropriate content -Predators who target young teens online -Addictive apps like TikTok and Snapchat -A constant stream of distractions that interfere with school, prayer, and family life Instead, Patrick recommends what he calls a “dumb phone” – a device designed for communication, but without the traps of social media or unrestricted internet access. Safe Alternatives for Teens Patrick gives Jacob a few options worth considering: Flip Phones (Charity Mobile)These simple phones make calls and send texts but offer little else. Patrick praises the show sponsor Charity Mobile, a Catholic-owned provider that offers flip phones while donating a portion of every bill to pro-life and Catholic charities. They do allow limited access to internet, which would be great for Jacob when he's a bit older. Gabb PhoneSpecifically built for kids and teens, the Gabb Phone looks like a smartphone but comes without an internet browser, app store, or social media. Parents get peace of mind, and kids get freedom to call and text. The Light PhoneThis sleek, minimalist phone allows calls, texts, directions, music, alarms, and notes – but nothing more. There's no Instagram, YouTube, or web surfing. It’s designed for people who want to stay connected without falling into digital overload. Each of these options provides what Patrick believes every teen needs: a way for parents and kids to stay in touch in case of emergencies – without opening the door to unnecessary temptations. A Catholic Approach to Parenting in the Digital Age Parents face an uphill battle. On one hand, kids need a way to call home after sports practice or text if there’s a problem. On the other hand, unrestricted digital access can undermine their spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. Patrick’s advice to Jacob shows a balanced approach: -Safety first. Phones should protect, not endanger. -Limited freedom. Give kids responsibility gradually. -Family values. Choose options that align with Catholic teaching and protect innocence. By starting with a Gabb Phone, Light Phone, or flip phone, parents can help their children build healthy habits before eventually upgrading – if and when they’re ready for the responsibility. For Catholic families, the lesson is clear: give your teen a safe tool, not a digital temptation. The goal is about helping them grow in virtue.

In this episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast, Sean McCormick speaks with Matt Wan, founder of Sett, a nicotine alternative product. They discuss the science behind nicotine and tobacco, the development of Sett, and the benefits of Ceratine, a key ingredient in the product. The conversation explores user experiences, the broader market for nicotine alternatives, and the future of health and wellness products. Matt emphasizes the importance of believing in one's ability to modify health outcomes and shares insights on the evolving landscape of supplements and performance enhancement. • Nicotine and tobacco are not the same; both have cognitive benefits. • Sett is a nicotine alternative that combines seratine and L-theanine. • Ceratine binds to nicotinic receptors but is less habit-forming than nicotine. • Sett is designed to provide a smoother experience without the sharp peaks of nicotine. • Momentum in health changes can be built through small successes. • The importance of product formulation in creating effective alternatives. • The future of health and wellness products is promising with ongoing innovations.
