When Benjamin Franklin's Ghost Designed a Machine and the strange story of The Underwater Orchestra. What happens when people become convinced they can build a messiah out of magnets, copper, and electricity? In this episode of *The Box of Oddities, Kat and JG dive into one of the strangest forgotten chapters in American history: the bizarre true story of John Murray Spear's "New Motive Power," an electrical machine that followers believed would be born* rather than switched on. Guided by séances, messages from the spirits of Benjamin Franklin and other historical figures, and a ceremony that mimicked childbirth, Spear attempted to create a living mechanical redeemer decades before robots, computers, or artificial intelligence existed. It's an astonishing tale of Spiritualism, Victorian science, religious belief, and humanity's enduring obsession with creating life. Then the conversation heads beneath the waves to one of the world's most unusual festivals. Every year, divers descend on *Looe Key Reef in the Florida Keys for the Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival*, where ocean-themed music is broadcast underwater while mermaids, pirates, and "fish musicians" celebrate one of North America's most important coral reefs. Beneath the quirky spectacle lies an inspiring story about coral conservation, marine biology, and the creative ways people are fighting to protect one of Earth's most fragile ecosystems. From electrical messiahs and nineteenth-century spiritualists to underwater concerts and living coral cities, this episode explores two extraordinary stories that prove reality is often stranger than fiction.

Back by popular demand, this is one of 2026's most-listened episodes. If you're building your birth plan right now, grab your notebook and tune in, mama! What if the birth plan you worked so hard on… actually set you up for disappointment?Most moms spend hours researching, Googling templates, and checking every box, and still walk away from birth feeling blindsided, unprepared, or like the whole experience just happened around them. And it's not their fault. It's because nobody ever showed them what a birth plan is actually supposed to do, or the mistakes that quietly sabotage even the most prepared moms in the delivery room.In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the most common birth plan mistakes I see all the time, and more importantly, exactly what to do instead. Whether you're just starting to think about your birth plan or you already have one and something feels off, this episode is going to change the way you think about it completely.Here are some highlights from the episode:Why the birth plan templates you find online might be working against youThe real reason birth plans fall flat when labor actually beginsMistake #1: The mindset shift that changes how you approach your birth planMistake #2: The powerful (and totally underused) way to use your birth plan before you ever step foot in a delivery roomMistake #3: Why planning only for your ideal birth can leave you feeling lost when things shiftHow to use your birth plan to learn something really important about your provider ahead of timeThe free Birth Map download that makes the whole process feel so much easier: https://www.myessentialbirth.com/birthplan Birth doesn't have to go perfectly for you to walk away feeling incredible about your experience. What matters most is that you felt informed, understood your options, and had a voice every step of the way.

For decades, women were handed a birth control prescription and sent home. Side effects were minimized. Questions were met with reassurance instead of real information. That left a vacuum, and into that vacuum poured a wave of claims that hormonal birth control is toxic, wrecks your hormones, causes infertility, and takes years to recover from. The truth? Birth control isn't as simple as "good" or "bad." It's nuanced, and nuance is exactly what the algorithm can't deliver in a 60-second video. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford is joined by Dr. Fran Haydanek, a board-certified OB/GYN, residency faculty member, and one of the most trusted physician voices in women's health on social media. Together, they unpack the biggest birth control myths and viral health claims, separating what's supported by evidence from what's misunderstood, oversimplified, or simply untrue. No agenda. No fear. Just evidence-based medicine and two physicians who believe women deserve honest information to make the best decisions for their own bodies. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: * Whether hormonal birth control is actually harming your hormones or fertility * Why so many birth control myths continue to spread online * Which viral hormone claims are backed by evidence and which aren't * How different birth control methods affect fertility, PMOS, and egg freezing * What every woman should know before choosing, stopping, or changing birth control * Why better conversations with your doctor can completely change your care Whether you're choosing a birth control method, planning for pregnancy, managing PMOS, or simply trying to separate fact from fiction online, this episode will help you better understand your body and make more informed decisions with confidence. Topics covered: hormonal birth control, birth control myths, birth control pill, fertility, infertility, PMOS, post birth control syndrome, hormonal IUDs, IUD insertion pain, Depo-Provera, Nexplanon, tubal ligation, salpingectomy, egg freezing, Dutch Test, estrogen dominance, adrenal fatigue, women's hormones, reproductive health. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why birth control misinformation spread so fast 05:13 The list of doctors who will tie your tubes 08:52 Can you get your tubes untied later? 10:13 Does removing your tubes lower your ovarian cancer risk? 11:32 Does the pill treat PMOS or just mask it? 15:40 Does the pill ruin your hormones? 17:10 Do you need to detox from the pill? 17:50 When to stop the pill if you want to get pregnant 19:30 Annual visit vs problem visit, and why it changes your care 22:05 Does birth control cause infertility? 23:15 Does the pill save your eggs for later? 27:00 Does Depo-Provera cause brain tumors? 29:47 Two doctors disagree about progestin IUDs 32:48 How patients changed IUD insertion pain 36:10 When to take out your IUD before trying 39:56 How your birth control affects an egg freezing cycle 41:50 Do blood draws cause miscarriage?  43:44 Do you need supplements for adrenal fatigue? 45:40 Is estrogen dominance real? 46:34 What is the Dutch test, and why won't most OB/GYNs order it?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unexpected Triumph: The Birth of the 'Bástya Mix' at Buda Castle Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-21-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nyár ragyogóan szép napja volt, mikor András és Katalin elindultak a Budai Várnegyedbe.En: It was a brilliantly beautiful summer day when András and Katalin set off for the Budai Várnegyed (Buda Castle District).Hu: A Halászbástya tornyai büszkén emelkedtek az ég felé, és a Duna kékje messzire hullámzott a szemhatáron.En: The towers of the Halászbástya (Fisherman's Bastion) proudly rose towards the sky, and the blue of the Duna (Danube) rippled far away on the horizon.Hu: A város lüktetett az életől: színes standokkal, finom falatokkal és kíváncsi látogatókkal.En: The city was pulsating with life: colorful stalls, delicious snacks, and curious visitors.Hu: A helyszín zsibongott a limonádé verseny izgatottságától.En: The location was buzzing with the excitement of the lemonade competition.Hu: András szíve hevesen vert, amikor belépett a zónába, versenyzőként.En: András's heart was pounding as he entered the area as a competitor.Hu: Katalin ott volt mellette, élcelődve noszogatta:- András, ne izgulj ennyire!En: Katalin was there beside him, teasingly nudging him: "András, don't be so nervous!Hu: Ez csak egy limonádé verseny.En: It's just a lemonade competition."Hu: De András számára ez több volt.En: But for András, it was more.Hu: Meg akarta nyerni, hogy lenyűgözze Katalint, és talán egyszer végre elnyerheti a figyelmét, ami után annyira vágyott.En: He wanted to win to impress Katalin, and perhaps finally win the attention he so yearned for.Hu: Szorgosan elkezdte készíteni a limonádéját - egy különleges recept alapján, amit a nagymamájától tanult.En: He diligently began preparing his lemonade - based on a special recipe he learned from his grandmother.Hu: Ám a baleset gyorsabb volt mint gondolta.En: However, the mishap occurred faster than he thought.Hu: Ahogy András felegyenesedett, véletlenül meglökte a szomszéd csapat asztalát, a poharak csörömpölve hallatszottak.En: As András stood up, he accidentally bumped the neighboring team's table, and there was the sound of clinking glasses.Hu: Hirtelen minden limonádé egy helyre folyt össze.En: Suddenly, all the lemonade flowed together in one place.Hu: Pánikba esett, hisz ezzel mindent elrontott!En: He panicked, thinking he had ruined everything!Hu: Katalin ezt látva próbált közbeavatkozni:- Nyugodj meg, András!En: Seeing this, Katalin tried to intervene: "Calm down, András!Hu: Ezen még segíthetünk!En: We can still fix this!"Hu: András elszomorodva mormolta:- Nem akarom, hogy kizárjanak a versenyből.En: @suffix{András} murmured sadly: "I don't want to be disqualified from the competition."Hu: De Katalin gyorsan gondolkodott:- Mi lenne, ha ezt egy új kategóriának nevezzük?En: But Katalin was quick-thinking: "What if we call this a new category?Hu: A "vegyes limonádé" kategóriának!En: The 'mixed lemonade' category!"Hu: Andrásnak tetszett az ötlet, és nevetve bólintott.En: András liked the idea, and with a laugh, he nodded.Hu: Így együtt indultak oda Zoltánhoz, a verseny szigorú bírájához.En: Together, they went to Zoltán, the competition's strict judge.Hu: Először aggodalommal vegyes tisztelettel adták elő a történtek summázatát, berharapozva Katalin tervezetét.En: Initially, they recapped the events with a mix of anxiety and hope, outlining Katalin's plan.Hu: Zoltán hallgatta őket, majd elmosolyodott:- Nos, srácok, ez merész ötlet.En: Zoltán listened to them, then smiled: "Well, guys, that's a bold idea.Hu: Mivel nincs a szabályzatban, hogy ilyesmit nem lehet, elfogadom.En: Since there's nothing in the rules that says it can't be done, I accept it.Hu: A "vegyes limonádé" kategória indulhat!En: The 'mixed lemonade' category can start!"Hu: A végső megmérettetésre minden résztvevő izgatottan várakozott.En: Everyone eagerly awaited the final showdown.Hu: András és Katalin boldogan látták, hogy az új kategóriájuk sikert aratott.En: András and Katalin were delighted to see their new category win success.Hu: Jókedvűen adtak nevet az újfajta italuknak: "Bástya mix.En: They cheerfully named their new drink: "Bástya mix."Hu: " Amikor kihirdették az eredményeket, Zoltán mosolyogva szólította meg őket:- Az újító "Bástya mix" győztes.En: When the results were announced, Zoltán smiled as he approached them: "The innovative 'Bástya mix' is the winner."Hu: András megkönnyebbült sóhajjal és büszkeséggel nézett Katalinra.En: @suffix{András} looked at Katalin with a sigh of relief and pride.Hu: Megértette, hogy az őszinteség és a kreativitás valóban új kapukat nyithat meg.En: He understood that honesty and creativity can truly open new doors.Hu: A verseny néha nem is a győzelemről, hanem a tapasztalatokról szól.En: Sometimes the competition is not just about winning, but about the experiences.Hu: Így a nap végére nemcsak egy díjat nyert, hanem Katalin elismerését is, és talán valami többet is a lelkében.En: By the end of the day, he had won not only a prize, but Katalin's recognition as well, and perhaps something more in his heart.

Birth rates are dropping and global population growth is slowing. Why? We're heard all the different speculation: It's the economy. It's housing costs. It's the feminists. But what if the biggest driver is that thing we all carry in our pockets? In today's episode, guest host Christine Emba speaks with data journalist John Burn-Murdoch about declining fertility rates across vastly different cultures and economies. They discuss the role smartphones might play in this phenomenon, why governments have struggled to reverse the trend, and how dropping birthrates could change our economy and culture.

Nobody should walk into labor, an epidural, or a C-section feeling like the process is a mystery. In this episode, we discuss why clear patient education is often missing, how fear of the unknown can increase anxiety and contribute to birth trauma, and the real-world challenges providers face in preparing families for delivery. We also share practical ways to advocate for better communication, set realistic expectations for birth, and process difficult experiences, offering support for anyone who is pregnant, postpartum, or helping a loved one navigate the journey.Follow Previa Alliance!Previa Alliance (@previa.alliance) • Instagram photos and videosPrevia Alliance Podcast (@previapodcast) • Instagram photos and videosKeep the questions coming by sending them to info@previaalliance.com or DM us on Instagram!

Ohio's Attorney General used one word to describe the Siders case that most people skipped right past: "intrafamily." That word isn't an accident. It carries implications that go well beyond the sixteen counts of child endangerment on the books against four adults.Sixteen children were found in a room the size of a walk-in closet. Some couldn't speak. One was flown to Columbus by helicopter in critical condition. Birth certificates list Elizabeth and Gary Siders Jr. as the parents of all sixteen, but DNA testing is underway — and the Attorney General's characterization raises the question of whether the family tree is exactly what the certificates say it is.Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. She was allegedly thirteen when her first child was born. Her family says she was indoctrinated and estranged for fifteen years. Her attorney says she wants to be reunited with her children. Prosecutors say she's a defendant.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks it all down with Tony and Robin — the DNA testing, the gag order that one defendant's attorney used to silence every official in the case, whether the grandparents were the true architects of eighteen years of isolation, and whether the charges on the table are anywhere close to matching what actually happened inside that house.The gag order is doing its job. The officials are silent. The public is not.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the opening lecture of Mises University, Joseph Salerno returns to 1871, when Carl Menger's Principles of Economics launched the Austrian school. Salerno shows how Menger's law of marginal utility solved the ancient "paradox of value"—why life-giving water is cheap and useless diamonds dear—and, in doing so, moved economics away from the classical focus on the businessman and cost, and toward the acting, wanting human being.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 20, 2025.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Most of us live inside linear, scheduled time. Our culture measures every minute and asks us to manage time as if it were money. But our ancestors lived by different rhythms. They knew time as cyclical, sacred, and alive.I've been on a journey of rewilding my own relationship with time. The Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Celtic Lunar Tree have helped me honor seasonal and lunar rhythms. In 2024, my mentor introduced me to the Mayan calendar, which deepened this path even further by giving me not just a seasonal or lunar energy to attune to, but a daily one.Unlike astrology, which can feel overwhelming with so many moving parts, the Mayan calendar offers a simple yet profound way to attune to the quality of time every single day.The Mayan Sacred Calendar repeats in predictable cycles through twenty nawales, or archetypal energies. These patterns invite us to notice synchronicities, shift our awareness, and experience life through Kairos time, mythic time that stretches and breathes, rather than only Kronos time, the linear time of calendars and clocks.In this replay of a gathering of the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, guest expert Diana Paez walks us through:The Mayan calendar as a living system: how cyclical time repeats in archetypal patternsAn introduction to the nawales: the twenty archetypes you will meet again and again as companions on your pathYour Mayan birth chart: how to begin exploring your unique essence through the quality of time you were born intoA rewilding of your relationship to time: moving from productivity-driven Kronos time into the spacious, sacred experience of Kairos timeThis is not just a lecture. It's a circle. You'll get to listen, learn, reflect, and sense how this ancient wisdom resonates in your Life.Ever since I started walking with the Mayan calendar, it has deepened my connection to my Intuition and helped me understand even more how Nature, Time, and Love want to speak to us each day.

It is a privilege to welcome actor, stand-up comic, and LGBTQ+ activist Jason Stuart to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Born in the Bronx and raised in Los Angeles, Jason has built a reputation for bold, unexpected performances that blend humor, humanity, and fearless authenticity. A self-described insecure Jewish kid who found refuge in performance, he credits Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl with “saving his life”—a revelation that launched a lifelong pursuit of storytelling that challenges stereotypes and flips expectations. That instinct led to one of his most striking turns as a heterosexual Christian plantation owner in Nate Parker's The Birth of a Nation, a role that mirrored and reframed the prejudice he's fought his entire life. Most recently, he serves as actor, director, producer, and co-writer of the indie film REDLINING, a timely and provocative film examining systemic inequality and the personal cost of generational injustice. Anchored by a deeply human performance from Jason Stuart, the film also features Alexandra Paul in a striking turn that powerfully showcases her dramatic depth. Stuart brings nuance, empathy, and quiet power to a story that confronts America's unfinished business head-on. The film continues his commitment to socially conscious storytelling and adds another bold chapter to a career defined by fearless choices and cultural relevance.Jason Stuart has appeared in studio favorites including Kindergarten Cop and Vegas Vacation, and on hit series such as The Closer, My Wife & Kids, Goliath (opposite J.K. Simmons), and Judd Apatow's Love. Indie audiences know him from Oscar winner Sean Baker's Tangerine, Ira Sachs' Love Is Strange (with John Lithgow and Alfred Molina), and the Amazon comedy series Smothered, which he co-created and starred in alongside Mitch Hara. The series earned Jason Stuart the Indie Series Award for Best Actor in a Comedy and sparked a new wave of acclaim as a content creator with the motto: “We don't wait for permission to create.” A highly sought-after stand-up comedian, Jason Stuart tours nationally and released the comedy album I'm the Daddy and I Have Candy. He is also an in-demand speaker on diversity and inclusion and the author of the memoir Shut Up, I'm Talking! Offscreen, he serves as National Co-Chair of the SAG-AFTRA LGBTQ Committee, which he cofounded in 2004. Stuart has also recently completed the horror film Blackwood, the drama I Got Next, in which he plays a basketball coach mentoring a special-needs child, and the acclaimed indie drama Hank, which won Best LGBTQ Short at the Los Angeles International Film Festival and earned him a Best Actor nomination at the Glendale International Film Festival.On this episode of Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jason Stuart spoke about the lessons that he learned from being on the sets of The Drew Carey Show, Everybody Hates Chris, Murder She Wrote, and My Wife & Kids; launching the SAG-AGTRA LGBTQ Committee in 2004; and previewed Redlining.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cooke-7-19-26.mp3 Jerusalem was headed for judgment—but Jesus' next warning was even more personal. Before the Temple fell, His disciples would be arrested, beaten, & killed, at the hands of Jews and Gentiles alike because they confessed His name. A few questions beg for answers. Why would that confession provoke such opposition? Would such persecution remain a permanent aspect of Christ's Kingdom—or can the church work toward peaceful and quiet lives? Listen as Pastor Matt explains Matthew 24:9—The Birth Pangs of the Kingdom: The Persecution of the Church—and why the church can expect the blessings of the Kingdom in this life, as well as reward in the life to come.

Bruce started as guitarist for the '90s for Vulgar Unicorn and started Pineapple Thief as a solo project in 1999, though it quickly became a full band. He's released 16 studio albums with Pineapple Thief and four solo albums. More at brucesoord.com and pineapplethief.com. We discuss "Pillars" from Ghosts in the Park (his 2026 solo album) and some Pineapple Thief tracks: the title track from It Leads to This (2024), "Clapham" from 10 Stories Down (2005), remixed for 3000 Days (2008), plus to conclude "Alone at Sea" from Magnolia (2014). Intro: "Private Paradise" by from Abducted at Birth (1999, originally called Abducting the Unicorn). Hear more Nakedly Examined Music at nakedlyexaminedmusic.com.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit andrewsullivan.substack.comDavid is a historian and perhaps the greatest living film critic. He's the author of more than 20 books, including biographies of David O. Selznick and Orson Welles, and The New Biographical Dictionary of Film. His new book is called A Sudden Flicker of Light: A Revisionist History of Movies. It's a wonderful extended rant in some ways, a love letter and a searing indictment of cinema. I was a little intimidated talking with him, but it was a lot of fun.For two clips of the episode — on the uptight genius of Hitchcock, and the authoritarian nature of cinema — head to our YouTube page.Other topics: born in South London in 1941 and his home damaged by the Blitz; his father leaving when he was born; his boyish mix of fear and delight at the cinema; the shower scene in Psycho; how film denies you the chance to stop and think; the directors who relish white space (e.g. PT Anderson); Birth of a Nation and Triumph of the Will; newsreels before TV; real nuke explosions on screen; Oppenheimer; from communal theater viewing to solo smartphone viewing; Game of Thrones and the insane production value of TV these days; Breaking Bad; Trump the ultimate product of TV; his telegenic Cabinet; the danger of deepfakes; Paul Schrader's First Reformed; the audience's love of car crashes and villains; Godfather I and II; contrasting Hitchcock and Malick; Tree of Life; nature in Thin Red Line; Fincher's Seven; Robert Bresson's religious films; Scorsese's Silence and Last Temptation of Christ; the vulgarity of Spielberg (e.g. the red dress in Schindler's List); ep. 3 of Adolescence; and Nolan's new Odyssey.Browse the Dishcast archive for an episode you might enjoy.

Send us Fan MailVitamin K refusal has crossed 5%. That's one in twenty babies, and the curve is bending the wrong way. Ben and Eli work through a new Pediatrics case review that opens with a warning shot, that hemorrhagic presentation in an infant should no longer be a diagnostic mystery, alongside a JAMA letter tracking refusal from 2.9% in 2017 to 5.2% in 2024. Eighty-one times the risk. Intracranial hemorrhage in most late-onset cases. Twenty percent mortality.

Chat, are we cooked? Julia is joined by friend and mentor Dr. Jack Keefe to explore the ongoing epidemic of AI psychosis and the dire consequences of having a sycophant in our pocket. They trace the history of how technology has repeatedly reshaped our understanding of reality, from medieval nobles who believed their bodies were made of glass, telegraph operators struck by sudden paralysis, and tech moguls convinced they're living in The Matrix. Digressions include questioning the humanity of Mr. Beast, the stay tethered to reality challenge, and The Truman Show as a psychotic touchstone.

This is a rebroadcast of one of our most loved episodes — whether you are listening for the first time or coming back for another listen, I know you are going to get something out of it. Enjoy! ❤️I have three babies I gave birth to and two girls who made me a mama in a different way — and all three times I gave birth I was planning to go unmedicated.It only happened once.And it was not because my body failed me. It was because I did not have the tools I needed and I did not know then what I know now. About nutrition. About mindset. About preparing my birth partner. About what actually helps once you are deep in labor and things get really hard.That is exactly why this episode exists. In this one I am walking you through everything — starting in pregnancy with nutrition, movement, posture, and mindset work, and moving all the way through labor with the tools, positions, support, and options that make the biggest difference when you are working toward an unmedicated birth. There is no judgment here about how you choose to give birth. But if unmedicated birth is your goal — I want you to have every single thing you need to get there. ❤️Here are some highlights from the episode:Why staying healthy and low risk gives you the most options for your birth — and where nutrition fits into all of itThe three exercises and daily movement that prepare your body for labor — and how to actually build the habitWhy your posture matters more than you think for your baby's positionMindset work, positive affirmations, and why this might matter even more for mamas who have given birth beforeLabor practice — what it is, why it works, and how to do it starting todayHow to prepare your birth partner so they actually know how to support you when it countsUnderstanding how birth physiologically works — and why that knowledge changes everything about how it feelsKnowing your options before you get to the induction conversationWhy staying home longer is one of the most powerful tools for an unmedicated birth Water as nature's epidural, freedom of movement, emptying your bladder, and eating and drinking in laborBeing adaptable — why you should never be suffering just to stay unmedicated, and how to make confident decisions if things shiftLinks Mentioned:

Business news rarely gets examined through the lens of category design, but when it does, the insights are striking. From charitable investing to the economic impact of the World Cup and the marketing brilliance of Black Rifle Coffee Company, a new way of thinking about business is emerging. At the center of one of the most compelling stories is Micron, a company that just made the largest corporate commitment of its kind to the Invest America program, seeding up to one million children’s investment accounts with $250 million. This is just one of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Micron and the Birth of Charitable Investing For over a century, philanthropy followed a predictable pattern. A billionaire writes a check, a foundation cuts a grant, and the money gets spent. Micron’s $250 million commitment to Invest America accounts breaks that pattern entirely. Instead of routing funds through a nonprofit or NGO, Micron is directly seeding investment accounts for up to one million children, turning them into shareholders in the S&P 500 from a very young age. What makes this genuinely different is the alignment of incentives. When Micron contributes stock into these accounts, every child who benefits now has a reason to care about Micron’s success. Both the company and the child are pulling in the same direction, which creates a virtuous cycle that traditional charitable giving has never been able to produce. This is charitable investing, and it is an entirely new category. The long-term implications are profound. If those dollars sit in an index fund and compound over 18 years at the S&P 500’s historical average of approximately 10% per year, the financial transformation for underprivileged communities could be generational. Micron is not handing out fish. It is teaching an entire generation how to fish.   Why the Old Model of Charitable Giving Is Broken Charitable giving, as a category, has deep structural problems that most people do not discuss openly. As organizations grow, they often become more focused on their own survival than on delivering value to the people they intend to help. Administrative overhead, bureaucratic inefficiency, and misaligned incentives mean that only a fraction of donated dollars actually reach those who need them most. The peer-to-peer structure of Invest America accounts eliminates that problem entirely. There is no NGO taking a cut along the way. Contributions go directly into governed investment accounts with clear rules about how and when the funds can be accessed. This direct model, made possible by the internet, is a harbinger of what charitable investing can look like at scale. Beyond efficiency, the greatest flaw in traditional charitable giving is that it creates dependency rather than capability. Micron’s approach forces financial literacy by making children stakeholders in the market itself. The account becomes a lived lesson in compounding, patience, and long-term thinking, skills that are rarely taught in schools, colleges, or even households.   What Micron’s Move Tells Us About the Future of Corporate Philanthropy Micron did not stumble into this decision. As a category king in the memory chip space, Micron understands that the most durable competitive advantages are built on ecosystem relationships, not just product performance. By seeding one million children’s investment accounts, Micron is building a generation of stakeholders who are emotionally and financially connected to the company’s future. This is a model that other major corporations are likely to follow. When the incentives are aligned this clearly, and when the marketing and goodwill benefits are this visible, it becomes increasingly difficult for other companies to justify staying on the sidelines. The prediction is straightforward: the category of charitable investing will grow steadily as the limitations of traditional charitable giving become harder to ignore. The Invest America program, championed by Brad Gerstner and now powered by commitments from Micron and others like SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell, is showing the country what it looks like when capital is deployed with purpose and precision. Micron’s $250 million is not just a donation. It is a category-defining move that could reshape the entire landscape of corporate philanthropy for decades to come.

Birth doesn't always begin the way we imagine it will. In this Community Birth Story episode, Deb sits down with Elena Santoro to hear the story of how a routine 38-week prenatal appointment unexpectedly turned into the birth of her baby. What began as a regular check-up quickly shifted into an induction, requiring Elena to adjust her expectations and embrace an entirely different birth experience than the one she had envisioned. Elena reflects on preparing for birth, navigating the emotions of an unexpected induction, and the support that helped her stay grounded throughout labor. She also shares a poignant moment of thinking about her family back in Rome as she welcomed her baby in New York, and offers reassurance for parents who worry about birth not going according to plan. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that while birth may be unpredictable, flexibility, support, and trust can help carry you through.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2019Weird Darkness moves through black magic, hauntings, demonology, unsolved death, and government secrecy in this episode, running from the occult roots of Scientology to a Utah military base that has earned the nickname Area 52.It opens with L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction novelist who founded Scientology, and the claim from his own eldest son — Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, Jr., who left the church in 1959 and renamed himself Ronald DeWolf — that black magic sat at the inner core of the religion. In a 1983 Penthouse interview, DeWolf described a father deeply involved in the occult who did not worship Satan so much as believe he was Satan, the Beast 666 incarnate. The story runs through Hubbard's obsession with Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis, the "moonchild" ritual he and rocket scientist Jack Parsons attempted in Pasadena to conceive an astral child and bring the goddess Babalon into the world, the poltergeist activity that followed at the Parsons house, the alleged OT Level VIII passage in which Hubbard claimed the Antichrist mantle for himself, the numerology hidden in the New Era logo's two sixty-degree triangles, and the shared contempt both Hubbard and Crowley held for psychoanalysis even as both leaned on hypnosis and past-life regression to control their followers.From there the episode digs into Jack Parsons himself — the college-dropout chemist who invented solid rocket fuel, helped found the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and claimed to have summoned Satan at thirteen. Drawing on John Carter's Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons and Lawrence Wright's Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, the story follows Parsons through the Pasadena mansion he filled with pagans, artists, and writers; the bonfires that drew police reports from the neighbors; the arrival of Hubbard, who slept with Parsons' girlfriend Betty; the red-headed artist Marjorie Cameron, whom both men decided was Babalon made flesh; Crowley's own disgust at the pair, whom he dismissed as goats in a letter; and the boat-buying scheme in Florida that cost Parsons his last twenty thousand dollars. Parsons died in 1952 handling explosives on his front porch, two years after Dianetics made Hubbard famous.Next comes the Surrency haunting, one of the most heavily witnessed poltergeist cases on record. In October of 1872, sawmill operator Allen Surrency returned to his two-story farmhouse on the edge of the Altamaha River Swamp in Georgia to find tumblers sliding off the slab, crockery shattering on the floor, and bricks, irons, and potatoes falling through the rooms of his own house. The activity never let up: clocks spinning backward, mirrors exploding, utensils bending in the family's hands, a pan of biscuits levitating out of the oven and flying out the back door, hot bricks raining down on his daughter Clementine, an andiron chasing his son across the room and then returning itself to the fireplace. Hundreds of visitors — reporters and a minister among them — watched objects fly in plain view. The haunting followed the family when they moved away, stopped abruptly with Allen's death in 1877, and the house burned down in 1925, leaving nothing behind but the orb of light still reported along the town's railway tracks.The episode then turns to Peter Binsfeld, the sixteenth-century German witch hunter whose enthusiasm for torture was matched by his taste for taxonomy. His De confessionibus maleficorum et sagarum laid out the Seven Princes of Hell — Lucifer for pride, Beelzebub for gluttony, Satan for wrath, Belphegor for sloth, Mammon for greed, Asmodeus for lust, and Leviathan for envy — and argued that each living person is shadowed by a personal demon who knows their habits intimately, the dark counterpart to a guardian angel. Binsfeld held that women were more prone to witchcraft, that girls under twelve and boys under fourteen were usually too young to be guilty, and that anyone who claimed to have seen a witch shapeshift had been deceived by the Devil.The unsolved death of British ufologist Max Spiers follows. Spiers died in Poland on July 16, 2016, days before a scheduled conspiracy conference appearance and shortly after reportedly vomiting two liters of black liquid, having texted his mother that he was in trouble and to investigate if anything happened to him. His death was ruled natural causes. At a pre-inquest review at Guildhall in Sandwich, Kent, in August of 2018, lawyers for his mother Vanessa Bates revealed that his laptop had been wiped clean and his phone's SIM card erased or removed before being returned to the family, with Spiers found dead on the couch of his girlfriend Monika Duval and the four-day inquest set for the Archbishops Palace in Maidstone.The episode closes at Dugway Proving Ground, the 800,000-acre Utah military installation that UFO researchers call Area 52. Founded during the second World War for biological and chemical weapons work, Dugway is best known for the 1968 VX nerve agent test that drifted into Skull Valley and killed thousands of sheep, an incident the Army compensated farmers for without accepting blame. Freedom of Information requests filed by MuckRock founder Michael Morisy surfaced records of entomological munitions — mosquitoes loaded with what the Army called inert pathogens and released over American civilian populations — and of soldiers used as test subjects. The story takes in the 2011 disappearance of Joseph Bushling, whose empty car, hat, and shoes turned up sixty-five miles from the main gate with no body ever found; the runway in the base's southern expansion that never appears on Dugway's own maps; Lockheed engineer Don Phillips and former CEO Ben Rich on flying saucer technology; and Steven Greer's claim in The Sirius Project that trillions in defense funding has been siphoned into a shadow government beyond the reach of the Department of Defense.

Two American giants collide in the brutal birth of modern politics. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were born the same year, but they represented two radically different Americas. One was a polished diplomat raised for public service; the other was a fiery frontier warrior who carried bullets, grudges, and political rage. Their rivalry explodes through the “corrupt bargain” of 1824, the vicious election of 1828, and leads to the birth of the Democratic Party. This is the story of how Andrew Jackson forever altered the presidency, and how John Quincy Adams found new purpose as a warrior in the fight against slavery.
