The conversation explores the unique challenges and triumphs of generational transitions, maintaining a strong company culture based on loyalty and respect, and the ongoing efforts to modernize and expand the brand in a competitive market.

Case management represents the invisible thread that weaves together all aspects of patient care in home health and hospice settings—yet many clinicians receive minimal training in this critical skill. The conversation between Jennifer Kennedy and Kim Skehan dives deep into what effective case management looks like and why it matters so profoundly for both patient outcomes and regulatory compliance. As Kim notes, "Case management is a next level skill" that requires dedicated training and support beyond what most clinicians receive in their professional education. Organizations must invest in developing these capabilities, recognizing that quality case management takes months—not days—to cultivate.Beyond simply making visits, case management involves comprehensive assessment, holistic care planning, and coordination across disciplines to address all patient needs. When done well, it improves patient outcomes, prevents complications, and creates seamless care transitions. When it falters, the consequences can be severe, with many survey findings at the condition level or immediate jeopardy stemming directly from coordination failures. This reality highlights the intersection where compliance meets quality—where doing right by patients simultaneously protects organizations from regulatory challenges.With increasing patient acuity in home-based care, case management has become more complex and demanding. Today's case managers must effectively coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage high-complexity patients, and ensure comprehensive documentation of all care activities. While technology and AI provide increasingly valuable support tools, the human elements of assessment, coordination, and communication remain irreplaceable. The most successful organizations combine robust training programs with clear processes and adequate time allowances for this vital function.Ready to strengthen your organization's case management practices?

The House's gigantic tax-and-spending budget reconciliation bill has landed with a thud in the Senate, where lawmakers are divided in their criticism over whether it increases the deficit too much or cuts Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act too deeply. Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office's estimate that the bill, if enacted, could increase the ranks of the uninsured by nearly 11 million people over a decade won't make it an easy sell.Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, and Lauren Weber of The Washington Post join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Arielle Zionts, who reported and wrote the latest “Bill of the Month” feature, about a Medicaid patient who had an out-of-state emergency.Visit our website for a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read (or wrote) this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: KFF Health News' “Native Americans Hurt by Federal Health Cuts, Despite RFK Jr.'s Promises of Protection,” by Katheryn Houghton, Jazmin Orozco Rodriguez, and Arielle Zionts.Alice Miranda Ollstein: Politico's “‘They're the Backbone': Trump's Targeting of Legal Immigrants Threatens Health Sector,” by Alice Miranda Ollstein.Lauren Weber: The New York Times' “Take the Quiz: Could You Manage as a Poor American?” by Emily Badger and Margot Sanger-Katz.Jessie Hellmann: The New York Times' “A DNA Technique Is Finding Women Who Left Their Babies for Dead,” by Isabelle Taft.

Trish Johns is a mum, a straight shooter, and a woman with quiet strength and a wicked sense of humour. She grew up pumping petrol at the local servo in Newcastle, was the spirited one in her massive Italian family, and somehow ended up marrying Matty Johns despite turning him down the first time. Trish opens up about raising Cooper and Jack (and what it’s like having them move back home as adults), the chaos of parenting two very different boys, and her breast cancer diagnosis. She shares why she didn’t tell the boys straight away, how she got through two surgeries, and why she wants women to stop waiting and get checked early.

Between 1933 and 1981, there were 24 sessions of Congress. For 22 of those 24, Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate. During the same time there were 12 presidential terms. Eight were served by Democrats. Now Democrats can lose, twice, to a party led by Donald Trump, whose campaigns have been natural experiments in just how bad a candidate can be and still beat the Democrats. What happened? They got caught in what Max Weber called the Iron Cage: stuck in their rationalistic heads, Democrats have become alienated from much of America. Find the full transcript at dastardlycleverness.com.

Brandon here. Look — I get it. Financial episodes don't usually light people's hair on fire. But this one? This one's different. Chris and I sat down with Jim Emerich and Melissa Zinni from Backbone CFO — and I walked away with real answers to questions I've been wrestling with in my own business. This convo was way more than spreadsheets and P&Ls. We got into the real mindset traps that keep us stuck — and the strategic moves that can unlock margin and cash flow. Why you should listen: (34:42) Why business owners freeze — and how to break through indecision. (41:42) Controller vs. CFO — know the difference, save your business. (13:40) Expanding locations? Avoid the cash flow sucker punch. (47:43) What 20% profit actually looks like — and how to get there. (57:52) How one company saved $50K by ditching a bloated setup. (51:15) Self-insurance and group captives — the financial hacks nobody's using. This one's loaded with takeaways. If you're trying to scale smart and stop leaving money on the table, don't skip it.

The boys drink and review Capit-Ale from Devil's Backbone, then clear out the mail bag. One reader objected to the fact that our show on slavery didn't focus on slavery in America. Which was the point. JR asked what we thought of tariffs on aluminum and steel that harm the craft beer industry. Miss Maisy asked why our show on left-wing violence didn't address conservative violence like Jan. 6 and militias. Other questions addressed judicial overreach, the sexual morality of futurist dystopias, and an amusing interpretation of snow white.

For this week's episode of Fearless, I sat down with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC), to unpack what it means to live with moral courage in today's culture of confusion and compromise. Tony draws from his decades of experience in public service, ministry, and policy advocacy to talk about how to stand for truth—even when it costs you.Together we explore the alarming lack of moral courage among today's leaders and the pressing need for Christians to fear God more than man. Tony highlights FRC's ongoing efforts to equip pastors and believers through resources like the Stand Firm app and the Center for Biblical Worldview. He also addresses misconceptions about the separation of church and state, outlines the importance of the Free Speech Fairness Act, and assesses the Trump administration's policies supporting religious freedom and life.As we take a deeper look at the spiritual battles often found behind political struggles, we emphasize that true hope lies in a national spiritual awakening, not political reform alone. If you've ever wondered how to speak truth in love, stand firm in a hostile world, or what it really means to be fearless—I hope this conversation will compel you to be the salt and light our world needs in your sphere of influence. Learn more about the Family Research Council on their website: https://www.frc.org/#gsc.tab=0.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three real-life friends broke into the Mexican and International film scenes and made their mark on the art form.

Look in the nonfiction section of any bookstore and you'll find dozens of history books making the same bold claim: that their narrow, unexpected subject somehow changed the world. Potatoes, kudzu, soccer, coffee, Iceland, bees, oak trees, sand, chickens—there are books about all of them, and many more besides, with the phrase “changed the world” or something similarly grandiose right there in the title. These books are sometimes called “microhistories” or “thing biographies” and they've been a trope in publishing for decades. In this episode, we establish where this trend came from, figure out why it's been so persistent, and then we put a bunch of authors on the spot, asking them to make the case for why their subjects changed the world. The writers you'll hear from include:  Simon Garfield (Mauve: How One Man Invented a Color That Changed the World) Mark Kurlansky (Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World) George Gibson, publisher of Cod and Dava Sobel's Longitude Historian Bronwen Everill Slate writer Henry Grabar (Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World) Gastropod co-host Nicola Twilley (Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves) Tim Queeney (Rope: How a Bundle of Twisted Fibers Became the Backbone of Civilization) Leila Philip (Beaver Land: How One Weird Rodent Made America).  This episode was written by Willa Paskin and produced by Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. Katie Shepherd and Max Freedman also produce our show. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.
