Look, we're not trying to freak you out, but the ‘company' is going through some changes. We're 0 for 1 with our intrusive thoughts, and suddenly this episode turns into a loooong look in the mirror. Katy Bellotte isn't just back for her FOURTH appearance, she's clocking in as this week's substitute!! Thirty, flirty, and officially realizing she's still got THIRTY more years until she peaks (maybe then she'll get her man on the street interview). While Katy looks into the future (or at least tries to predict it), Brooke remembers the past, low-rise jeans, butt crack (yes, you read that right), and all. We're unburdening ourselves, telling the truth, and sharing things we probably should unpack with our therapist. Watch out for flying objects (iykyk), and we hope this episode doesn't scare you too much!Katy's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/katybellotte/ Katy's Match Made in Manhattan Podcast https://www.instagram.com/matchmadepodcast/ Katy's Mystery For Two Podcast https://www.instagram.com/mysteryfortwopodcast/ GOTG LTK https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Gals_on_the_Go GOTG Newsletter https://gotg.substack.com/ Gals On The Go Instagram https://www.instagram.com/galsonthegopodcast/ Brooke's Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/brookemiccio Brooke's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/brookemiccio/ Danielle's Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/daniellecarolan Danielle's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/daniellecarolan/ Business inquiries can be sent to: GalsOnTheGoGroup@caa.comDanielle's LTK: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/daniellecarolan/productsets/11ee5d6284a6acf19fd50242ac110003 Brooke's LTK: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/brookemiccio/productsets/11ee5d662bea0b67931d0242ac110004 GOTG YouTube Channel (watch full episodes with video!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkCy3xcN257Hb_VWWU5C5vAThanks to our sponsors for supporting this episode!This new year, fast-track your way to eating well with Marley Spoon.

Then we get into the beginning of our most recent non-war with Iran, news of which was broken by a couple drunk guys overhead at a seafood restaurant by TMZ, and things have only gotten dumber since then.

Mike Colter (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Evil) joins us for a deeply reflective and grounded conversation about confidence, discipline, and what it really takes to sustain a career in Hollywood without losing yourself. Mike opens up about early support versus later self doubt, nearly being pushed out of grad school, and how proving people wrong became fuel rather than resentment. He talks about why Luke Cage changed his life but never defined him, why he values trust over prestige, and how self worth comes from being comfortable alone. Thank you to our sponsors:

The girls are officially back in Bachelor Nation with Mormon Wives breakout Taylor Frankie Paul as the new Bachelorette — and Jac is doing a full FBI-level breakdown of the men (hello Paralympian hottie, 6'8” giant, and “cowboy entrepreneur”). Keltie spills real-life lore on contestant Clayton Johnson (yes, Lana Del Rey's ex), and Becca makes the case for a richer, hotter, more aspirational franchise. Plus: the ladies react to the upcoming Daddy Issues tell-all from Sofia Franklyn, send love after the heartbreaking tragedy involving Mary Cosby's son, and debate whether pregnant women partying at bars are superheroes… or simply built different.We have deals for YOU!!Tonal: Get stronger with Tonal!

So many of us have gone through big heartbreaks that served as initiations on our path. Maybe you went through a big breakup that rocked your world, a divorce you never saw coming, or just a slow ending of a relationship you knew deep in your soul was not in alignment. And now you're not really sure when or how you're going to meet that truly aligned sacred union partner.   Here's what I know for sure: the version of you that needs to walk into that relationship does not yet exist. And neither does theirs. And when you both do, it is inevitable.   In this episode we explore:

AI isn't just helping you write emails—it's shaping beauty standards, influencing elections, replacing jobs, generating music, and possibly rewriting reality itself. In this unfiltered conversation, Lindsey + Krista explore the cultural, spiritual, and economic implications of artificial intelligence. From AI influencers to blackmailing bots, autonomous coding, artificial womb technology, and the manifesto to replace human labor, this episode dives into the race toward AGI and what it means for humanity. Together, K+L explore whether AI is inevitable—or simply a narrative we've accepted. This episode is all about discernment. It's about staying human, protecting your creativity, strengthening your intuition, and deciding how you want to engage with technology in a world that feels increasingly synthetic. If you've felt fascinated, disturbed, or unsure about AI—this is for you.  We also talk about: AI-generated porn + its impact on relationships The potential for emotional + relational attachment to AI technology How AI could shape the future of content creation, writing, and artistic voice Balancing AI for efficiency while protecting original thought + creativity How younger generations may grow up with AI as a constant companion or support system The economic tension between productivity gains + potential job displacement Why discernment + emotional intelligence may become more valuable skills in the AI era Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

For nearly a decade, a predator stalked the quiet marshlands and sugarcane fields of southeastern Louisiana, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. In this episode, we dive into the chilling case of Ronald Dominique, a man who confessed to the rape and murder of at least 23 men and boys between 1997 and 2006.Despite a victim count that rivals some of history's most notorious killers, Dominique's name is rarely mentioned alongside Bundy or Gacy. We explore the "perfect storm" of factors that allowed him to evade capture for so long—from his strategic targeting of marginalized men on society's fringes to the devastating chaos of Hurricane Katrina that overshadowed the investigation.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://progressive.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What happens when you're crushing your break, feeling better than you have in years, but that little voice starts whispering, "Okay, but what about day 31?" In this episode, Coaches Soraya and Hayley help two Path members figure out exactly that. Christine opens up about her "Hellcat" pattern of achievement and escape, learning how to stay on track after a 30-day alcohol break by understanding the anxiety underneath it all. Alex discovers he doesn't need a task to check off—he can follow how good he feels as his GPS. These conversations get real about navigating life beyond the break, being with uncomfortable feelings, and building momentum that lasts. In Christine's session: Understanding binge drinking cycles as responses to anxiety and perfectionism Learning how to stay on track after a 30 day alcohol break by addressing underlying emotions Why seeking worthiness through external validation fuels the urge to escape The "Hellcat" pattern of going full speed then crashing with alcohol to decompress Discovering anxiety isn't the enemy—it's a signal asking for attention and care Tools for being with uncomfortable emotions instead of numbing or escaping them How transforming your relationship with anxiety breaks the drinking cycle And more breakthroughs about worthiness, self-compassion, and finding calm... In Alex's Session: Why day 31 feels more uncertain than day 30 when the break structure ends Practical strategies for how to stay on track after a 30 day alcohol break using emotion-based goals The difference between completing tasks versus building a life you don't want to escape from How lengthening your break can provide vital feedback and create new goals Reframing potential setbacks from disappointment to curiosity and valuable data points Choosing "renewed" over "horrible" and why emotional shifts drive lasting change And more insights...

Content WarningThis episode contains discussions of domestic abuse, poisoning, and death. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 39: The Balham Mystery. April 1876—a successful barrister collapses in his bedroom after drinking from a bedside water jug. For three agonizing days, doctors begged him to name his poisoner. He never would. This is the story of Charles Bravo, and the Victorian murder that has never been solved.Behind the elegant facade of The Priory, a villa in Balham, South London, lay a tangle of secrets: a wealthy widow's scandalous past, a controlling husband who knew everything, and a companion with everything to lose.The VictimCharles Delauney Turner Bravo was thirty years old when he died. A barrister called to the bar, Charles came from a prosperous family of Portuguese Jewish ancestry. He was ambitious, charming, and by all accounts, determined to control every aspect of his household—including his wife's considerable fortune. Charles married Florence Campbell Ricardo in December 1875, knowing full well about her four-year affair with the famous hydropathy physician Dr. James Gully. What should have been a fresh start for Florence became something else entirely: a marriage built on leverage and suspicion.The CrimeOn the evening of April 18, 1876, Charles Bravo dined at The Priory with his wife Florence and her companion, Jane Cannon Cox. He retired to his bedroom around 8:30pm. Shortly after, servants heard a bedroom door crash open. Charles staggered into the hallway, his face contorted in agony, crying out for hot water. Jane Cox reached him first—a detail that would later prove crucial.Charles had been poisoned with antimony, likely administered in his bedside water jug. The dose was massive: 20-40 grains of tartar emetic, ten times the lethal amount. For three days, as doctors fought to save him, Charles was asked repeatedly who had poisoned him. His only answer: "I have told you all I know."The InvestigationCharles Bravo died at 5:20am on April 21, 1876. The first inquest returned an open verdict—insufficient evidence to determine what had happened. But public outrage demanded answers. A second inquest, lasting 23 days and calling over 40 witnesses, became a Victorian sensation.Florence Bravo took the stand and admitted everything: the affair with Gully, a pregnancy, a possible miscarriage. Dr. James Gully, 66 years old and once one of England's most respected physicians, saw his reputation destroyed. Jane Cox, whose position in the household was under threat from Charles's cost-cutting, gave contradictory testimony that convinced no one.The verdict: "Wilful murder by person or persons unknown." Three suspects. No conviction. No justice.Historical ContextThe Bravo case emerged during a period when Victorian marriage laws trapped women in impossible situations. Florence had inherited £40,000 (approximately £5 million today) from her first husband, an alcoholic who died at 27. Yet as a married woman, she had limited control over her own life. Divorce required proving both adultery and cruelty—nearly impossible for women of her class.The case also highlighted Victorian England's reputation as a "poisoner's paradise." Antimony was readily available in most households, used to treat horses in stables. The science of toxicology was still developing, and many poisonings went undetected or unprosecuted.Sources (Chicago Notes-Bibliography format):Primary:The National Archives, Coroner's Inquest Records, Bravo Case (1876)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foulplay/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Julia Robinson is not here to fit in a box — and she's definitely not here to let widowhood be reduced to a single storyline. As an AuDHD widow, mom to a non-binary child, and someone who was in an open marriage before her husband's death, Julia brings sharp wit, self-awareness, and zero interest in changing herself to make other people comfortable.In this episode, she talks about navigating loss while living outside conventional expectations, what it's like when the world wants tidy explanations for complex lives, and how she's building a life that reflects who she actually is. Julia also tackles a topic many families whisper about: the shame that can surface when an autopsy reveals substances in a loved one's system. She speaks candidly about reducing stigma, rejecting secrecy, and refusing to let judgment compound grief.Also featured are cats with hilariously unhinged names, honest conversations about parenting, and a very real appreciation for limited-edition energy drinks only available in South Korea. *Check our Patreon for AD FREE Episodes, or to submit tributes of your person to be read in an episode! *http://www.patreon.com/wwdnSponsored by:BetterHelp.com.

Tonight, Don sits down with an all-star panel to break down the rapidly escalating crisis surrounding Donald Trump's strikes on Iran and what it means for the U.S., the region, and the world. We'll unpack the latest developments as the U.S. and allied forces continue military operations, Iran fires back, and Trump repeatedly signals that “more is coming,” with no clear end in sight. Multiple service members have already been killed, and officials have not ruled out even broader engagement as this conflict threatens to widen. What are the legal, strategic, and geopolitical implications of this escalation? How are U.S. leaders reacting at home? And what could this mean for the next chapter of Middle East tensions? Tonight Don is joined by the host of The Majority Report, Sam Seder, the host of Breaking Points, Krystal Ball, White House reporter for Axios Marc Caputo, Zeteo political reporter Prem Thakker, independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel, and Congressman Jimmy Gomez.

Schlep, real name Michael, is a 22‑year‑old YouTuber and content creator known for his hard‑hitting investigations exposing child predators on Roblox. Through sting operations and decoy accounts, his channel has uncovered widespread grooming networks using the platform to target minors. A survivor of Roblox grooming himself—exploited as a young teen by a prominent developer once promoted and partnered with the company. Schlep turned his personal trauma into a mission for accountability. His YouTube channel has directly contributed to multiple arrests of alleged predators who used Roblox to move victims to Discord for explicit content and real‑world encounters. A vocal critic of Roblox's safety failures and profit‑driven approach to its child‑heavy user base, Schlep has consistently challenged the company's moderation practices and its pattern of deplatforming whistleblowers. In August 2025, Roblox permanently banned him and issued a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening legal action, triggering the viral #FreeSchlep movement and major online backlash. Despite being banned from the platform, Schlep continues his predator‑catching work independently, collaborating with law enforcement to secure convictions and raising awareness of how Roblox profits from developer programs that can enable exploitation. Today, he is a leading advocate for stronger child safety laws and transparency in online gaming, exposing the gap between Roblox's “safe and educational” image and its systemic moderation failures.

While the wider world continues to embrace ubiquitous access for their digital products, compelling rumors indicate Sony might opt to go in the other direction. This is particularly surprising considering their pursuit of success on PC, openness in publishing on Nintendo Switch, and the shocking move to bring Helldivers II to Xbox. Then again, the numbers speak for themselves. It appears PlayStation has grossed somewhere between one and two billion dollars in total from their PC releases dating back to 2020, a comically small sum compared to their greater gross over that time, and an amount of money that may simply not justify further jeopardizing their closed ecosystem. Are we about to snap back to the old way of doing things? Many PlayStation fans will be pleased, if so. Plus: Wolverine gets a September release date on PS5, Horizon: Hunters Gathering and Marathon revel in concurrent playtests, Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC very soon, French publisher Nacon declares its insolvency, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Can Sony's first party teams truly be blamed for pitching games-as-a-service when it was clear that's what leadership wanted? Could it be possible that the secret Santa Monica Studio, Cory Barlog-directed game is Uncharted? Is Resident Evil 9's 10-12 hour runtime a selling point or a detriment? Will Sacred Symbols go another 400 episodes, or perhaps even 4,000? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

A wealthy Miami developer, a waterfront mansion, and FBI agents closing in. When Sergio Pino was found dead just moments before his arrest for allegedly plotting his wife's murder, the fallout was immediate and explosive. What followed was a chilling mix of fear, power, and greed as his widow, Tatiana Pino, was thrust into the center of a legal war over a massive real estate empire, shadowy last-minute moves, and allegations so dark they raised questions about what was really happening behind closed doors….If you're new here, don't forget to follow the show for weekly deep dives into the darkest true crime cases!

Sarah and Susie are participating in an unconventional macabre game when they predict which celebrities will die this year, but Sarah argues it's a "celebration of life." We debate the Tourette's Syndrome scandal at the BAFTAs and consider what the appropriate way to handle it was. Susie shares a story of a woman who's AI chatbot started claiming she would meet her soulmate at a particular time and place, and, spoiler alert, she didn't, but now she's raising alarm bells about the persuasive nature of AI and LLMs. We discuss the Olympic skater known as the Quad God and his disappointing performance in Madrid, and we learn the science of "choking" when put under pressure and techniques to help prevent the "yips," or choking when stressed. Susie describes The Queen of Chess documentary, the sexism in the sport, the little girl who beat Bobby Fisher's 30-year record, and why grown men are petrified of losing to a girl.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $30 off your first box - PLUS free Croissants for life - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription today!This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

A year ago this month, the travel and motherhood world lost Elise Caffee — blogger, adventurer, mother of three, and the woman behind the hashtag "take the trip." Elise believed, down to her bones, that making memories with your kids was always worth it — the chaos, the cost, the exhaustion, all of it. This episode is for her.   This week's guest is Tiffany Rosenhan, Elise's dear friend, co-author, and co-founder of Jumelle Press. Together, they wrote Pippa and Poppy Adventure — a beautiful children's book about two identical twins exploring Europe — and Tiffany is here today to carry Elise's message forward. With spring break just around the corner, her three takeaways feel especially timely — whether you're heading somewhere far or just loading up the car for a day trip an hour from home. In this episode, you'll hear:

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.Bjorn Bolinder—photographer, NXIVM insider, and the guy on the ladder in The Vow Episode 3—finally tells his story. For NXIVM nerds, this is the episode you've been waiting for: a behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who witnessed it all but stayed largely unknown to the public. Bjorn walks us through his recruitment in January 2015, how a midnight kitchen conversation about curing Tourette's syndrome planted the seed, and why he signed up for his 5-day already knowing it would be expensive and a pitch.He opens up about his initial resistance on days two or three (and how one module blew right through it), the overwhelming workload as a V-Week photographer working until 2 a.m. for what amounted to $7/hour in "work exchange," and meeting Keith Raniere for the first time with stars in his eyes. Bjorn shares why Nippy was such a green flag for him—in an organization that felt safe after a childhood of being bullied in macho dance studio and school environments—and how NXIVM's Goals Lab became a place where he felt genuinely supported and seen.This first part is all green flags with tiny red ones creeping in around the edges. Thursday's Part 2 brings Pam Cafritz's memorial, the blow-up, and how Bjorn finally figured it out after we left.Follow Bjorn's work at findthelightphotography.com and on Instagram @findthelightphotography.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood bullying and homophobia.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
