“I considered it elder abuse. She put him through the paces, not only before the debate, but after. She should have gotten him out of there immediately.” — Sally Quinn on Jill Biden and the debate Today's guest is amongst America's most verbal octogenarians. No, not you-know-who. Sally Quinn is the illustrious Washington DC hostess, writer and commentator. The almost 85-year-old does improv comedy every Sunday, ballroom dancing every week and Zen Buddhist meditation every Monday night. Her novel, Silent Retreat, is now out in paperback. And she's working on her memoir, tentatively entitled Never Invite Sally Quinn. Certainly Jill Biden won't be inviting Sally Quinn any time soon to one of her tête-à-têtes. Quinn's account of what went wrong with the Biden presidency is sharply personal. Her late husband, legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, had dementia. She watched his cognitive decline from inside, and the parallels with what she observed in Biden were, she tells me, too close for comfort. Jill Biden's decision to keep Joe running after the debate, when she privately suspected he'd suffered a stroke, was, in Quinn's word, “elder abuse.” Silent Retreat, set at a monastery in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, is about the sexiness of silence. A prize-winning reporter and the venerable Archbishop of Dublin fall in love in enforced silence. Anything but elder abuse. But autobiographical? Probably not. As Ben Bradlee used to tease her over breakfast, it's always been hard for not-silent-Sally to keep her mouth shut. Five Takeaways • The Army Brat Who Became Washington's Most Powerful Hostess: Quinn grew up as an army brat, moving from posting to posting with her military father. She arrived in Washington after college, did a stint as social secretary to the Algerian ambassador, and was then hired by Ben Bradlee to write for the Washington Post's new Style section — the first style section in the history of American journalism. She and Bradlee eventually married. Their home in Georgetown became the hub of Washington's social and political life for decades. She describes herself not as a powerhouse but as someone who “really lucked out.” An army brat who knew how to work a room. • Gerontocracy Is Real — But People Who Keep Going Are Different: Quinn agrees with Samuel Moyn that American gerontocracy is a genuine problem: people who lose their cognitive sharpness should not be running organizations or countries, and the tragedy is that no one can know in advance who will lose it and who won't. But she draws a distinction: the problem is not old people, it's old people who have stopped growing. She surrounds herself with younger people, particularly younger journalists, because of their energy, idealism, and optimism. She is still working full time. The issue is not age. It's vitality. • Biden and Jill: Elder Abuse: Quinn's account of the Biden presidency is the most personal Andrew has heard. Her husband Ben Bradlee had dementia. She knows the signs. She watched Biden lose it, got a knot in her stomach every time he spoke publicly. The debate was her worst nightmare. Everyone in the White House knew what was happening and wasn't telling the truth. And Jill Biden — who now admits she thought he had had a stroke after the debate — raised his arm in a victory salute the next day and took him off to campaign in North Carolina. Quinn's verdict: “I considered it elder abuse.” • Silent Retreat: A New Yorker Writer and an Archbishop Fall in Love in Enforced Silence: The novel grew from Quinn's own annual visits to a Trappist monastery in Virginia's Berryville. She is a woman who once failed to stay quiet for three days — or so her husband thought — and who found to her surprise that she loved it. The novel: a prize-winning reporter whose marriage is falling apart, and an Archbishop of Dublin whose faith is in crisis, check into the same monastery for a silent retreat. They can't speak to each other. They speak to the monk instead. The novel is told through those confessions. Kirkus: “an unholy brew of lust and faith.” Airmail: “a bodice ripper with a fillip of Roman Catholic ritual.” • Improv, Ballroom Dancing, Zen Buddhism, and Dinner by Candlelight: Quinn's account of how she stays alive at 84 is the most energetic thing in this conversation. Improv comedy every Sunday for two and a half hours — performances after the class, with people half her age. Ballroom dancing every week. Zen Buddhist meditation every Monday night for two hours. Working out every day. Writing her Washington memoir. And hosting small dinner parties — six or eight people, candlelight, good food, a lot of wine — as a form of community-building in what she calls the toxic environment of today's Washington. The memoir's title: Never Invite Sally Quinn. Andrew has already secured an invitation to the next dinner party. About the Guest Sally Quinn is a longtime Washington Post journalist, columnist, television commentator, Washington insider, and one of Washington's legendary social hostesses. She is the author of Silent Retreat (Simon & Schuster), Finding Magic, The Party, Happy Endings, Regrets Only, and We're Going to Make You a Star. She was the founder and moderator of On Faith, the Washington Post's religion website. She lives in Georgetown, Washington DC. References: • Silent Retreat by Sally Quinn (Simon & Schuster).

In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary "Triple-Threat" career of Adam "Rosco" Roszkowski, one of the most uniquely versatile athletes in modern strength training. We explore the mental and physical shift required to transition from the grace of competitive ballroom dancing to the gridiron of American football, and finally to the world stage of Strongman. This conversation breaks down the blueprint for athletic performance, elite-level muscle development, and the relentless discipline needed to secure five Strongman Champions League (SCL) titles and a spot at the World's Strongest Man. Meet the Guest Adam "Rosco" Roszkowski (WSM Athlete & 5x SCL Champion) Adam is a standout powerhouse in the international strongman circuit, recognized for his remarkable versatility and elite athletic performance. Before cementing his status as a World's Strongest Man competitor and five-time Strongman Champions League (SCL) winner, Adam reached the pinnacle of two other distinct sports as a Vice-Champion ballroom dancer and a European and German Champion in American football. Since committing to strongman in 2021, he has achieved monumental feats of strength, including a 400 kg deadlift and a World Record Bag Throw at the 2025 World's Strongest Viking. Beyond his 2x FIBO ClassX titles, Adam is a vocal advocate for the unfiltered side of pro-level training and high-stakes competition.

The Dancing Housewife Podcast (formerly Coffee Break with The Dancing Housewife)
This week The Dancing Housewife dives deep into the concept of learned helplessness and its impact on ballroom dancers. Often, dancers feel discouraged despite their relentless efforts, thinking their hard work doesn't lead to improvement. Learn about the psychological roots of this phenomenon, originally studied by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier, and discover ways to combat it. We'll discuss how ballroom dance conditions dancers to feel powerless, and provide actionable steps to restore control, clarity, and motivation. By understanding and addressing learned helplessness, dancers can reignite their passion and thrive in their art. Join us to explore this important topic and learn how to turn setbacks into opportunities for growth.
Welcome Back!

We invited Reena from the “Better Call Daddy” podcast to rewatch Dirty Dancing and dig into why this 1987 classic still hits today. We talk about Baby's coming of age from a woman's point of view, Johnny's arc from hired talent to self-worth, the film's frank treatment of abortion, and that complicated father-daughter dynamic. Along the way, Reena shares personal stories that mirror Baby's bravery, and we unpack the movie's layered look at class, privilege, and nostalgia. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 - Welcome + Guest intro 00:00:32 - What is Better Call Daddy 00:02:17 - Why Dirty Dancing still resonates 00:03:55 - Two-minute plot rundown 00:06:48 - Baby's POV on sexuality 00:08:44 - Class, privilege, and stepping up 00:10:26 - Getting Dad involved for Penny 00:13:05 - Lakeside talk with Dad and accountability 00:16:18 - Johnny's growth and the age-gap lens 00:19:24 - Do not pedestal people 00:22:05 - Kellerman's old guard and changing times 00:23:43 - Why the resort hires grad-student waiters 00:27:10 - “I carried a watermelon” and belonging 00:28:15 - Dance as storytelling 00:30:59 - Behind the scenes of the practice-lift Key Takeaways The story centers Baby's perspective, which was rare for the era. Class is the engine of the plot, from entertainment staff to waiters and guests. Baby's bravery shows up as practical action to help Penny. The father-daughter thread is about holding each other to shared values. Johnny moves from being used to asserting his worth. The nostalgia lands because the movie pairs romance with clear commentary on labor and belonging. Quotes “We challenge you to a new movie or TV show every week.” “I have a podcast with my dad, then he weighs in with his intergenerational take.” “She's in pain. I need to fix her pain.” “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” “I carried a watermelon.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this conversation, follow and subscribe on your favorite app, leave a quick review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPod.

What are the (top) secrets of better collaboration?Is collaboration like a game of ping pong? Or more like ballroom dancing? Is there a better way to disagree?

While she teaches all kinds of dance classes and programs, today we are talking about engaged couples getting ready for their first dance. When the DJ announces at your wedding, "The bride and groom will begin their lives together with their first dance," what will you do? Kayla does not want you to leave one of the most important parts of your special day to chance. This will be the first time all of your loved ones see you together on the dance floor as husband and wife. Kayla talks about practicing and preparing for this big moment.

This week, Julianne Hough joins Nikki & Artem to talk about her world away from the dance floor, her personal transformation, breakdancing at the Olympics, and her new book “Everything We Never Knew.” To kick things off, Nikki & Artem open up with his reaction to doing Savor in Chicago, his crossroads as he contemplates life after professional dancing, and Nikki ponders how things in her life would be different if she were allowed to try out for school plays as a kid. Then Julianne Hough joins the conversation. From dance to acting to music and writing, she defies labels as she uniquely chronicles her awakening. She tells Nikki & Artem all about some tough times that guided her to a rebirth of her energy and purpose in all aspects of her life. Now, that revival is causing a metamorphosis of gratitude and personal development in the world around her. This conversation is so important to Julianne that she declines a call from her brother Derek in the middle of the interview so that she can lock into Nikki & Artem as they talk about helping others redefine themselves, which is a process that Artem himself is going through and realizing that Dancing with the Stars isn't just about scores on the dance floor, but emotional and spiritual evolution. To close out the conversation, Julianne also has a very strong reaction to dance finally being in the Olympics, the response to Australian breakdancer RayGun going viral for all the wrong reasons, and her hope for ballroom dancing to get a shot in the 2028 games in Los Angeles.

Meet Corinne Sundar Rao, an internal medicine physician who found her passion in ballroom dancing. After 14 years of practicing medicine, she transitioned into being a full-time hospitalist but still felt like something was missing. One day, she walked into a dance studio and was immediately captivated. Becoming a competitive dancer was more challenging than medical school or residency, but it became her outlet and a healthy distraction from medicine. Join us as Corinne shares her inspiring journey and the life lessons she learned along the way. Corinne Sundar Rao is a board-certified internal medicine physician and founder, Legacy Physicians, which helps hospitals find well-qualified physicians at a much lower overhead than they would pay staffing agencies. She can be reached on LinkedIn and Facebook. She shares her story and discusses the KevinMD article, "From science nerd to accomplished ballroom dancer: my story as a hospitalist." The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience. With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients. At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational. Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.

From the Turkey trot to the scandalously intimate moves of the Parisian tango, the 20th century saw Britain gripped by dance craze after dance craze. Performed in public halls up and down the country, ballroom took the nation by storm as people from all walks of life sashayed to the dancefloor with their partners. Hilary French tells Emily Briffett about ballroom's dramatic surge in popularity, its decline in the 1960s and its recent resurgence with Strictly Come Dancing.

Without a doubt, we are thankful that Artem is sitting in on this week's episode of the Bellas Podcast! It's been a busy few weeks for everyone; Nikki & Brie have been running around the country doing photo shoots, podcast tapings, and celebrating their birthdays, while Artem has been winding down season 31 of Dancing with the Stars. The three of them Open Up with thoughts on getting older, what makes them happy now, and cooking assignments for Thanksgiving dinner. Brie wants to embrace all of Thanksgiving before decorating for Christmas and got some sticker shock when she was looking to spread some holiday cheer in her neighborhood. Then Artem gets into being eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, what the viewers didn't get to see on the show, how Heidi D'Amelio really impressed him on the dance floor and his frustrations with going home earlier than he wanted. And now that Len is leaving, could we see Judge Artem giving out scores every Monday night on the show??? Nikki and Artem also talk about the joy of being newlyweds and seeing a different side of Artem on “Nikki Bella Says I Do” when it airs on E! early next year. The episode closes out with Artem's pick for Inspiration & Affirmation, which Nikki & Brie definitely connect with.
