Team Simon here! Thank you for being part of such an incredible year—and for helping us grow the podcast through your support, sharing it with others, and showing up week after week. We love seeing your comments and hearing what resonates with you.A Bit of Optimism returns on January 27, 2026, with brand-new episodes we think you're really going to enjoy. Until then, we're revisiting a few of our favorite moments from the past year.We're kicking things off with one of our most popular episodes—the conversation we filmed in London with Mo Gawdat. As a “Happiness Expert,” Mo teaches us that happiness is a choice, even if it's not always an easy choice to make.Mo had to face an impossible choice. Before he was a bestselling author and podcast host, Mo worked a lucrative career as Chief Business Officer at Google X. He reached the heights of business influence and amassed a fortune by 29. And yet, he was miserable. It was only after the tragic death of his 21-year-old son Ali that Mo was forced to confront the truth.Mo now dedicates his life, work, and research to figuring out how human beings can be happier, and he's on a mission to make 1 billion people happy. He shares what he's learned – that happiness is both a choice and our default setting, how to trick our brains out of survival mode, and why the happiest emotions we feel are rooted in the present, not the past or future.This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about Mo and his work, check out: https://www.mogawdat.com/

Imaginen despertar en la oscuridad total. No pueden sentarse. No pueden estirar los brazos. El aire huele a tierra húmeda. Están en una caja de madera, a medio metro bajo el suelo de un bosque congelado.En este episodio de Bitácora del Crimen: Radio, abrimos el expediente de uno de los secuestros más aterradores y claustrofóbicos de la historia: El caso de Barbara Mackle.El 17 de diciembre de 1968, Barbara (de 20 años) fue secuestrada de un hotel y enterrada viva en una "cápsula" diseñada por un sociópata que se creía un genio ingeniero. Pasó 83 horas (3 días y medio) bajo tierra, esperando un rescate que parecía imposible.
Entramos en la recta final de diciembre, tiempo de fiestas, y tentaciones varias al momento de estar sentados a la mesa, así que hoy comparto contigo algunos consejos que te pueden resultar útiles, aprovechando que he cumplido ya 6 años ininterrumpidos, haciendo dieta.

Quiet Breakdown” is from the voice of someone who holds everything together on the outside while silently falling apart within. It's told by a person who smiles, shows up, and says “I'm fine,” even as exhaustion, anxiety, and unspoken thoughts weigh heavily at night. This song belongs to those who don't collapse loudly, but break quietly, carrying their pain alone, not asking to be saved, only wishing to be seen and understood.

This extends into a greater discussion of Physical Skills, how they work, and how we feel about them in our own games and experiences.

France has sentenced a doctor to death after he poisoned 30 patients, killing 12. The EU has agreed to provide Ukraine more money after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged leaders to use frozen Russian assets to fund Kyiv. But, the money may not be enough. "Bit by bit it's getting worse and worse for Ukraine, no matter what support they've got," Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bitácora - 18 de diciembre de 2025 by Javeriana919fm
Esta semana en “Esto no es una frontera esto es un río” la presentación del reporte: Aciertos y desafíos de la respuesta migratoria colombiana de la Bitácora Migratoria, un proyecto del Observatorio de Venezuela de la Universidad el Rosario y de la Fundación Konrad Adenauer que cierra cinco años de análisis sobre la política migratoria en Colombia. Su último reporte resalta el liderazgo regional en regularización (ETPV) y acceso a derechos, pero advierte desafíos críticos en empleo y financiación. Un trabajo del Observatorio de Venezuela para entender la realidad migratoria actual. En la entrevista la profesora Ligia Bolívar, investigadora del Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, de Caracas y coordinadora de la ONG Alerta Venezuela.
As the year draws to a close, we’re grappling with what a sustainable future really looks like against a backdrop of a more and more technology-based world. We’re told that the tools that we now have at our fingertips are making our lives easier, more streamlined but this convenience comes at a cost. There are organisations thinking differently though, like the Paris-based “Citizen Science Laboratory”, Atelier 21. On this episode, we speak to founder, Cédric Carles about the low-tech, frugal, and more environmentally-friendly innovations of old that they are raising from the buried past. Cédric had values of sustainability, repairing and shared responsibility ingrained in him from an early age. That’s why, once he started working in the design space, he was less interested in creating new, shiny things to sell people and more interested in creating products that would elevate peoples lives and be built to last. While working to develop sustainable technologies and speaking to older colleagues, he realised that some of the ‘new’ ideas that he was having actually weren’t that new at all. And in fact, there was a whole history of innovation out there that he wasn’t aware already existed. So, at COP21, he took the opportunity of having environmentally-minded people from all over the world in Paris, at his fingertips, and started having conversations with everyone. In the last ten years, the Paléo-Energétique project has collected ideas around energy, water, transportation and more. A timeline for change This collection became the Paléo-Energétique timeline that is now a partial basis for their RetroFutur Museum in Paris. Cédric shares a few examples with us of some of the forgotten but groundbreaking innovations — the “gold nuggets” — that are included on the timeline. And the timeline is constantly growing, as the RetroFutur Museum has the potential to move to new towns, every time they do so, they work with local schools and archives to augment the exhibition to the innovations that they discover in the local area. “A lot of innovation was killed by the prices of energy. What we discovered is that a lot of crisis time was a really good time for innovation…during crisis there is no coal, no fuel and it is so expensive. But when the crisis is gone…we just forget all the stuff we have done with solar energy and alternatives…It’s time to not forget anymore.” The timeline serves as a tool to not only educate but to inspire. Cédric wants participants to have an “experience with the material” and see with their own eyes what is possible. It’s an ethos echoed in other Atelier 21 projects, like Solar Soundsystem where members of the public power a soundsystem by pedalling bikes. Many efforts for change are shot down by voices saying that a sustainable transition isn’t possible but Cédric says their work proves to people that it is possible because it has already been done. Inside the RetroFutur Museum [Credit: Atelier 21 Resurrecting and regenerating Atelier 21 are not just digging up old patents but are bringing them back from the dead. One of these is the RegenBox, a machine that can recharge alkaline batteries, making them reusable. It was inspired by the inventor of modern alkaline batteries, Karl Kordesch’s original patents for recharging them. So, they began working on “re-prototyping.” What resulted was their RegenBox and RegenStations which can diagnose the energy level in your battery and then, recharge it. And the best part… they’re repairable, both their software and hardware! They’re a perfect addition to community initiatives like Fixing Factories, sharing libraries or eco hubs. The alkaline battery is so ubiquitous, that an opportunity to reuse them could attract new visitors who may not yet be interested in repair. Cédric says that there are around 40 RegenStations and 3-4,000 RegenBoxes around Europe, resulting in an estimated 100,000 batteries saved just this year. And next year, with the help of communities like ours, he wants to up that number to one million. The “treasure trove” continues to grow The timeline contains many, many innovations which you can read about and explore. This also means that there is plenty of knowledge for Atelier 21 to draw on and “re-innovate” on. Right now, they are exploring work extending the lives of solar panels which notoriously get retired before their time, leading to e-waste. And Cédric shares that next year, they are launching Paleo-Water and will be collecting and sharing information on lost patents around water systems. Do you have a lost invention that you would like to add to the timeline? Let Cédric know!

¿Qué tienen en común Ted Bundy y Richard Ramirez? Ambos aterrorizaron a una nación. ¿La diferencia? Todo lo demás. Uno era metódico y encantador; el otro, caótico e impulsivo.En este episodio de Bitácora del Crimen, abrimos el expediente de la herramienta de perfilación más famosa del FBI: la dicotomía Organizado/Desorganizado. No solo contamos los crímenes de estos dos infames asesinos, sino que los analizamos bajo el microscopio de la criminología para entender qué revela su método sobre su mente.Analizamos cómo el perfil de Ted Bundy como "asesino organizado" le permitió evadir a la justicia por años, y cómo el perfil "desorganizado" de Richard Ramirez (El Acosador Nocturno) creó un tipo de terror completamente diferente.---

Often the biggest transformations we undergo don't arrive as lightning bolts, but as quiet shifts we've been preparing for all along. For John Fox, the transformation from a 25-year career in high finance to becoming a chaplain wasn't sudden at all. It was a slow burn—shaped by loss, reflection, community, and a deep desire to live a more meaningful life.John's successful finance career spanned decades. To the world, he was thriving, but internally he yearned for fulfillment no paycheck could give him. After losing his mother, questioning the purpose of work, and rediscovering his spiritual roots, he began to sense that his life was preparing him for a very different kind of service. That path eventually led him to the Peace Corps, seminary, and finally chaplaincy—where he now spends his days sitting with people in hospitals, jails, shelters, and hospice care.In this conversation, John shares how you can slowly build a new life, why most of us struggle to talk about things we can't fix, and the human need to be seen by others. We also talk about community, discernment, loss, faith, and the power of listening without trying to change anything.His story is a reminder that life's meaning often reveals itself slowly… and that the pivots that change our lives most profoundly are the ones we've been preparing for all along.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about the Union Rescue Mission, visit their website at www.urm.orgAnd to check out John's congregation, head to www.newcitychurchla.com

Season Two Finale of rabbitHOLE - LIVE from Norway at the Oslo Impro Fest! OMG OMG! The BIT Comedy Network's first LIVE show was at the Oslo Impro Fest on October 24th. We have been performing together under the BIT marquee for about two years, but we had never met or performed live as a troupe. Even with the wonky audio (it gets better after the introduction), we think you'll enjoy this RANDOM rabbitHOLE journey through rolling D20s, experimental medicine, the benefits of divorce and hot water, fruits with curative powers, and a costumed heist. (We still don't know if Amber is a camel, in camo, OR a camel wearing camo ...) As always, rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted. If you enjoy the show, do your part:

The Senate's vote to extend enhanced ACA subsidies was the clearest sign yet that congressional Republicans are fracturing as they head toward the midterms. Four GOP senators — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and Josh Hawley — joined Democrats to back a three-year extension. The measure failed, but the defectors matter. Two are facing reelection in 2026. All four have been pressured by constituents facing premium spikes. And every one of them knows that allowing subsidies to expire is a political nightmare.The problem is that no Republican-sponsored alternatives have enough momentum to pass. Hardliners insist insurers are bluffing about catastrophic premium hikes and argue that federal subsidies can flow to abortion providers in violation of the Hyde Amendment. Leadership is frozen, moderates are restless, and none of the policy paths available appear functional. My read: the subsidies will expire. And the longer Republicans look divided on health care, the messier 2026 becomes.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Trump Loses Indiana — and a Bit of His Grip on the GOPTrump's aggressive mid-cycle redistricting push hit a brick wall in Indiana, where 21 Republican state senators joined Democrats to defeat a map designed to produce two more GOP-friendly House seats. The vote wasn't close. This wasn't quiet dissent. It was a collective “no.” And the reason is obvious: Republican lawmakers are terrified of a “dummymander,” a map that overreaches and accidentally creates more vulnerable districts in a bad year. If 2026 is shaping up to be a Democratic wave — and every special election suggests it might be — legislators don't want to be caught holding the bag.Trump's allies threatened primaries. Outside groups ran ads. J.D. Vance weighed in personally. None of it mattered. If you want a temperature check on Trump's leverage right now, this is it. He still commands loyalty, but not fear. And when Republicans stop fearing the leader of their own party, they start preparing for the next one. That's how lame-duck dynamics begin — long before anyone says the words out loud.A Hard Pivot on VenezuelaThe administration also announced new sanctions on Nicolás Maduro's inner circle, targeting his nephews, his wife, and a network of businessmen and shippers. This came just after the U.S. seized a tanker carrying Venezuelan crude. For now, this is a sanctions campaign — not military escalation — but it fits a familiar Trump-era pattern: push to the brink, stop just short, and ask adversaries whether they still want to keep playing.With Iran, the strategy eventually led to direct strikes. With Venezuela, nobody knows yet. But every foreign-policy story pulling headlines away from domestic issues is a political risk for Trump. His base doesn't want global adventurism. They want America First, not America Everywhere.Chapters00:00 - Intro02:06 - Nuzzi/Lizza10:46 - Update11:01 - Obamacare12:14 - Indiana Redistricting15:53 - Venezuela Sanctions18:35 - Matt Laslo on the WH Press Corps54:10 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Influencers are out in full force, telling us how we can “manifest” anything we want using only the power of our thoughts. Want that dream car, dream boyfriend, or dream house? Act as if you already have it, and the universe will respond. And we know our thoughts can be powerful … so, could this be legit?

Life can change in an instant. One day you're shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue, and the next you're sitting in your car with everything you own, and everyone you love, wondering what happens now.Joan Howard grew up in Beverly Hills with every advantage until a series of crises left her homeless and living in her car with her mother and three dogs. What helped her rebuild wasn't luck or charity. It was kindness, consistency, and one simple weekly practice of being in service to others.Today, Joan is a long-time volunteer for Food on Foot, the very organization that helped her decades ago. Food on Foot is more than a meal line—it's a community built on dignity, kindness, and practical support for people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. Their model helps people find work, save money, build confidence, and move forward with independence.In this episode, we talk about what homelessness actually looks like, why service can be transformative, and how organizations like Food on Foot help people not just get back on their feet, but build a future.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about Food on Foot, visit their website!https://www.foodonfoot.org/---------------------------

The Super Famicom, known as the Super Nintendo (SNES) here in North America, came out in Japan 35 years ago this year. It was Nintendo's successor to the dominant NES and it marked a real turning point for the games industry at the time. Not just in the evolution of game design but also in the market itself. With the SNES and rival Sega Genesis (Mega Drive outside of North America) fighting for market dominance, it sparked a console war that is still talked about today. Helping me break this down and more are friends of the show Nadia Oxford and Dan Greenberg! Nadia, Dan and I talk about the world in which the SNES was born into, how it competed with Sega, what games we love on the system and much more! Now you're playing with POWER.

What if a great business was built like a handmade mixtape? A lovingly crafted experience that is as much a love letter from its founder as it is custom-tailored to its audience.Before Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams became a household name, Jeni Britton was a 22-year-old art school dropout scooping her ice cream creations at a farmers market in Ohio. She didn't have investors, connections, or a playbook. What she did have was a vision - not just for ice cream, but for connection.Jeni believed her bold ice cream could be a conduit for something bigger: a place where people feel seen, conversations happen naturally, and strangers become community. Over the next two decades, she bootstrapped her way from a small counter to a nationally recognized brand by doing everything the slow, hard, old-fashioned way — one customer, one flavor, and one act of service at a time.She refused shortcuts. She prioritized people. And she built her company like a handmade mixtape — crafted with intention, risk, rebellion, and love.In this conversation, Jeni explains what true entrepreneurship really is: not hype, not hyper-growth, and not chasing venture capital, but the courage to follow a vision long enough for it to start leading you. We talk about the creative process, the power of service, the lessons learned from young employees, the myth of “scalable ideas,” and how walking in the woods helped Jeni discover her next chapter - Floura.Jeni's story is a reminder that the best things in life - and in business - take time, heart, and a willingness to make something beautiful even when no one is watching.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Porsche USA Macan---------------------------Visit Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams: https://jenis.com/Check out Jeni's newest venture — Floura: https://www.floura.com/
Healthcare planning is a huge part of getting ready for your retirement. In this episode, I tackle one of the most pressing updates for retirees: the latest changes to Medicare premiums for 2026, including important surcharges, deductibles, and strategies to help you manage your healthcare expenses. I'm helping you understand the significant increases in Medicare Part B premiums and deductibles, the impact these changes will have on your Social Security benefits, and why waiting to claim Social Security might pay off. Listen in to get helpful strategies for appealing IRMAA surcharges and practical tips for structuring your income to minimize additional Medicare costs. If you're planning for retirement or already navigating Medicare, this episode is packed with timely advice to help you make informed decisions about your healthcare and finances. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] 2026 Medicare vs. Social Security. [02:23] Part B Medicare surprise announced. [04:08] Social Security timing and medicare basics. [10:07] Appealing the Medicare IRMAA surcharge. [12:13] Avoid IRMAA by keeping an eye on your retirement income. [14:08] Key Medicare changes for 2026. Medicare Part B Premiums Are Increasing in 2026 The standard monthly premium will jump to $202.90 per individual, a striking 9.7% rise from the 2025 rate of $185. This marks the largest increase since 2022, signaling that healthcare costs for retirees continue to climb at rates surpassing even Social Security's cost of living adjustment, which will be 2.8% for 2026. For retirees collecting Social Security, Part B premiums are automatically deducted from their benefits, while those not yet collecting must pay separately, typically on a quarterly basis. It's possible for individuals with lower Social Security benefits to see the entire annual cost-of-living increase consumed, and even exceeded, by higher Medicare premiums. Understanding Medicare's Two Parts: A and B It's important to understand Medicare's original coverage: Part A and Part B. Part A (Hospital Insurance): Most retirees won't pay a premium for Part A if they (or a spouse) have worked at least 10 years in the U.S. Those with fewer qualifying quarters face monthly premiums of either $311 or $565, depending on how long they've paid in. The Part A deductible will also rise to $1,736 in 2026. Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers preventive care, with the standard premium set at $202.90 and a deductible of $283 for 2026 (about a 10% increase from 2025). IRMAA: Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts & Surcharges Higher-income retirees may be subject to IRMAA, leading to additional surcharges on Part B premiums. This is determined by your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from two years prior (2024 for the 2026 premiums). The IRMAA threshold for single filers is $109,000 and $218,000 for joint filers, with surcharges starting at $284.10 per person and escalating through higher brackets, potentially doubling your premium if you cross certain income thresholds. Medicare will send IRMAA notifications, but an appeal process is available. If your income drops due to retirement or other qualifying life events, you can use SSA Form 44 to appeal unwanted surcharges. Reasons might include a work stoppage, divorce, loss of a pension, or the death of a spouse. Strategic Planning for Retirees How can retirees manage these costs and avoid sudden surcharge surprises? Ryan Morrissey provides practical guidance: Delay Social Security: Waiting until full retirement age or later can mean higher monthly benefits and greater long-term cost-of-living increases. Monitor Your Income: Large IRA withdrawals, significant capital gains, or property sales can raise your MAGI and push you into higher IRMAA brackets. Appeal When Justified: Act quickly if you're eligible for an IRMAA appeal, as processing can take time and surcharges last 12 months before adjusting. Retirees should work closely with financial advisors to manage income distributions and plan for healthcare expenses as part of their broader retirement strategy. With healthcare costs rising faster than Social Security increases, retirees must stay vigilant. Whether you're newly eligible for Medicare or well into your retirement journey, understanding these changes is super important.

Who would've guessed that one of the world's best company cultures was hiding behind a can of WD-40? Of all the places to find a leadership masterclass, the blue-and-yellow can in your garage probably wasn't on your list - but it's time to put it there.Garry Ridge - an Australian who brought his charm and curiosity across the Pacific - joined WD-40 Company in the late '80s and rose through the ranks, eventually serving as CEO for 25 years. But he didn't start out as the culture-building expert he's known as today. Early in his career, he lived by the old mantra: “be brilliant, be brief, be gone.” He had to unlearn that mindset and rebuild himself into a leader who centers people, learning, and belonging - an evolution that reshaped WD-40 from the inside out. His new book, Any Dumb Ass Can Do It, captures that journey.In this episode, we break down how Garry built a company where people genuinely love coming to work - even through recessions, pandemics, and all the external chaos leaders can't control. We dig into the systems and behaviors that fueled WD-40's rise, from psychological safety to accountability to building internal consistency no matter what the market is doing.Garry and I both believe that people deserve to love their work - even if they don't like it every single day. People want to feel seen, heard, and valued. And Garry is one of the rare leaders who knows exactly how to make that happen.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Porsche USA Macan---------------------------Check out Garry's new book.https://thelearningmoment.net/any-dumb-ass-can-do-it/And his coaching work with The Learning Movement. https://thelearningmoment.net/
