Podcasts about anxieties

In this episode of Conceptually Speaking, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Lawrence, professor of 20th and 21st century American and Latin American literature at Rutgers University and author of Anxieties of Experience: The Literatures of the Americas from Whitman to Bolaño and the Spanish-language novel El Americano. Like me, Jeffrey has found himself intrigued by recent developments on Substack, where a growing literary scene is raising questions, debating issues, and engaging in conversations that don't fit neatly into traditional academic venues. Our dialogue moves between the institutional structures that shape literary studies, the surprising public appetite for serious engagement with the humanities online, and what it might mean for secondary English education to reconnect with its disciplinary roots.Key Concepts:Public HumanitiesThe distinction between community-engaged public humanities and public-facing writing that still operates through prestige networksWhat it means to invite people into a discourse rather than simply making that discourse more visibleHow Substack has opened space for a literary culture where thousands voluntarily participate in serious criticism outside the credentialing structures of the universityDisciplinary FragmentationThe silos within English departments (literary studies, composition and rhetoric, creative writing, etc.) and how those divisions shape what reaches K-12 classroomsHow methods from rhet-comp and cultural studies seeped into secondary English education while literary studies seemed to turned inwardThe historical decline of cross-pollination between MLA and NCTE, and what that separation has cost both fieldsThe Canon QuestionThe difference between treating the canon as a fixed inheritance and treating it as a living tradition that can be renegotiated in each momentWhy refusing to engage with questions of canonization has its own costs — including leaving students without the tools to participate in, critique, and renew long-standing intellectual communitiesFraming canon formation not as culture wars but as an ongoing disciplinary practice students can and should be invited intoDefending the HumanitiesHow the defense of the humanities can be seen as being too intramural and why that hasn't workedWhat genuine heterogeneity might look like in literary studies, and why public platforms may offer something the academy currently does notThe gatekeeping mechanisms that constrain academic publishing and hiring, and how they limit the range of voices and methodological commitments in the fieldIn what's quickly becoming a theme in these conversations, we also discuss how the people best positioned to connect literary culture to a broader public (high school English teachers!) have often been alienated from it through regimes of high stakes testing and curricular standardization. For educators who share that sense that something essential has been lost in the way English is taught and structured since the neoliberal turn within K-16 education, this conversation offers both a diagnosis and a provocation. Jeffrey's SubstackAnxieties of ExperienceEl AmericanoSupport the show

Plus: How to find practices that work for you, what "mindfulness" actually means, and a new audiobook out now. Sebene Selassie has been meditating for decades, survived cancer three times, and still says the practice isn't a magic bullet. That honesty is kind of the point. Today we're sharing a sneak preview of Dan's new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate, co-authored with Sebene. Think of it as a practical rescue plan for anyone who feels too distracted, overwhelmed, or skeptical to start (or restart) a meditation practice. In this preview, Dan and Seb cover: Why "mindfulness" is actually a bit of a misnomer — and what the practice is really about What meditation can and can't do for you (it won't solve everything, but the benefits tend to kick in faster than you'd expect) How to find the style that works for your specific brain, body, and life — including if sitting still feels impossible The role of intention, and why getting clear on your "why" can become a surprisingly powerful engine for keeping a practice going The five hindrances — the predictable challenges that come up for almost every meditator — and how to work with them instead of against them Even You Can Meditate is out now on Audible.

Wall Street is looking to recover after yesterday's big stock market drop. Part of it was due to tariff uncertainty, but part of it was also due to a thinkpiece that painted a nightmare scenario in which AI displaced white-collar jobs throughout the economy — in areas far beyond the software, technology, and financial firms that have recently faced a selloff. Also: Depop's new owner and a look at who gets left behind by new Trump Accounts.

President Trump is set to deliver the first official State of the Union address of his second term today. While foreign policy tension remains high, polling indicates that voters are primarily focused on the economy at home and their own wallets. Republican strategist Matt Whitlock, Senior Vice President at CRC Advisors, joins the Rundown to break down how the White House plans to address the "affordability crisis," the President's strategy for maintaining momentum on immigration enforcement, and the high stakes of the upcoming midterms.Nearly two million soldiers, thousands of civilians, and hundreds of children are dead as the bloody violence continues four years after Russia invaded Ukraine. Despite a worldwide effort to bring peace, little progress has been made to end the conflict as deadly attacks still rain down on innocent communities. Gen.

The discussion emphasizes film’s power to spark accessible moral and civic conversations, the importance of independent cinemas in fostering dialogue, and why these themes remain especially relevant during moments of national reflection. and Dry January is more than just a social media trend or New Year’s challenge—it’s a chance for people to reset their relationship with alcohol, and for some, it can reveal deeper issues that might otherwise go unaddressed. That’s the perspective shared by Zach Whipperman, director of community outreach at Arkview Behavioral Health, during a recent conversation about why so many people are drawn to the month-long pause from drinking.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PREVIEW — Anatol Lieven — Baltic States Fortifications and the Improbability of Russian Invasion. Lieven discusses Baltic state border fortification initiatives responding to legitimate security anxieties generated by Russian military operations in Ukraine and historic patterns of Russian territorial expansion and sphere-of-influence assertions. Lievenargues, however, that an actual Russian military invasion of NATO member states remains strategically improbable because attacking alliance members would catastrophically ruin Putin's geopolitical objectives by forcibly uniting Western powers in collective defense and risking direct great-power nuclear confrontation, rather than achieving Putin'sapparent goal of dividing European cohesion and fractioning the transatlantic alliance through coercive diplomacy and limited military operations short of direct NATO engagement. 1913

Reality, Grief, and Hope: Our Posture of Lament challenges us to thoughtfully examine the intersection of faith and politics, exploring the role of the church in society amidst cultural challenges. From some of the greats (Walter Brueggemann and D Willy), we're able to map out a posture to hold in these time. From naming the reality we see around us, lamenting and grieving what we've seen and living in the hope of what's to come. In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford unpack the complexities of Christian nationalism, drawing parallels between biblical prophetic critiques and modern-day issues. Through a lens of cruciformity, they discuss how the teachings of Jesus call us to navigate cultural issues with humility, justice, and critical thinking. The hosts engage in an honest conversation about the importance of lament, naming uncomfortable truths, and pursuing hope in a divided world. From the misuse of religious rhetoric to the church's prophetic responsibility, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with questions of faith, politics, and the transformative power of Jesus' example. As cultural norms shift, how can Christians embody the way of Christ without compromising integrity and compassion? Join this deep dive into theology, justice, and the pressing challenges of our time. Feel free to email in questions, engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, or share your thoughts as we navigate these topics together.

The episode dives into slaughterhouse-linked antibiotic resistance causing UTIs, the twisted marketing of chicken nuggets shaped…

In this week’s episode of Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan unpacks the absurdity of a Brazilian chef throwing a culinary hissy fit over preparing an all-vegan menu for Prince William’s sustainability event (comparing it to Iron Maiden playing jazz, which honestly sounds amazing). She also dives into the poultry industry’s shocking revelation that factory farming might gasp breed disease, explores Iowa officials’…

So let yourself slither around in your bed until you find the sleeping position you love the most. Take a deep breath in when you find it, And then exhale and settle even deeper into your bed. Be here. With the stillness of the night. And allow its cool, calm silence to isolate those thoughts racing through your mind.  Those worries, Anxieties,  Stresses, Fears.  They are the ones in rigorous motion against the backdrop of the stillness. PAUSE… Thoughts. Stories. Emotions. That's all they are.  They are not you. What's true is this moment.   This breath. You.  Here on your bed.  Alive.  Breathing.   So allow yourself to separate them from you, All these worries. Inviting them to exit the rapid movement inside your head, And enter the stillness of the night.  This moment of presence, Where the worries cannot exist.  Watch them dissolve in the space around you, The tiny grains of sand spilling from them until nothing is left.  Release the worries into the peaceful presence of the night. LONG PAUSE... Feel the deep relaxation of your body as the worries dissolve. It melts into the arms of the night, Releasing its need to control, Or be ready, Or fight. And instead softens, Trusts, And surrenders. Relax and release. Join our Premium Sleep for Women Channel on Apple Podcasts and get ALL 5 of our Sleep podcasts completely ad-free!

This week on Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan dives headfirst into the media’s convenient climate amnesia, where apparently animal agriculture’s massive emissions are just too spicy for mainstream coverage. A mere 3.8% of climate articles dare mention meat production—shocking absolutely no one who’s been paying attention. Meanwhile, the agricultural industry clutches its pearls at being called out, with one writer genuinely suggesting…

Money anxiety, retirement fears, and the quiet worry about being alone are hitting many women in midlife. In this walk-and-talk episode, Chalene Johnson opens up about the top financial and emotional concerns women are sharing right now—from fear of not saving enough to the loneliness that creeps in as life changes. She offers practical, doable steps to get control of your finances, strengthen your relationships, and create more security for the future. Plus, a wild story about intuition and an update on Penelope that might make you rethink what's “just coincidence.”  

"P" wants to be able to show up in these rocky times and hold space in difficult conversations but she finds it difficult to do when met with the perceived expectation of "getting everything right" - especially in political conversations. Jessica helps her unpack her anxieties and find strategies for showing up, whether she gets it right not!

Totally tangential, y'all. In this episode, Rhett & Link discuss what tactics they use to cope with anxieties, what animal they think should replace humans if we ever went extinct, and get into various tangents about friends with benefits, California slang words, things stuck in Rhett's mustache, and a long-winded conversation with a lot of initials.
