Podcasts about Blending

Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Building on East West Street and The Ratline, Sands traces the remarkable and disturbing links between Nazi officer Walter Rauff—architect of the mobile gas vans—and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dig into New York's controversial plan to extend Manhattan into the Hudson River, exploring the history of landfill expansion, crumbling infrastructure, and the politics of housing in the city. From Typhoid Mary's exile to North Brother Island to gas leaks and collapsing Bronx buildings, they connect past public health crises with today's urban decay. The discussion shifts to revelations that Israel is paying U.S. influencers $7,000 per post, raising alarms about foreign lobbying, AIPAC's outsized role, and bipartisan corruption in Congress. They debate dual citizenship, foreign aid packages, and Trump's push to end endless giveaways, tying it back to Bob Menendez's scandals and broader questions of loyalty. The episode also touches on Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, AI-driven memes targeting Democrats, and the FBI-led crackdown in Memphis.

Genre-blending pop-soul artist Lily Lane makes her much-anticipated return with “Reciprocation.” Blending vintage soul textures, razor-sharp pop sensibilities, and raw, confessional lyricism, “Reciprocation” stands as a bold new chapter in her ever-growing body of work and a can't-miss release from one of music's most exciting rising voices. A Boston native now splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles, Lily first broke out as a teen on national tours, opening for Big Time Rush (selling out the House of Blues in her hometown) and Cody Simpson, while quickly finding herself in the orbit of the 2010s pop elite. After graduating with honors from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, Lily signed with Wilhelmina Models, came out as bisexual, and emerged as a bold voice for body positivity, female empowerment, and LGBT+ representation. Music runs in the family. Lily's older brother, Tucker Halpern, is one half of the Grammy-nominated electronic duo SOFI TUKKER. Like her brother, her music has earned many sync placements across major platforms, including Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and Bravo, bringing her soulful, cinematic sound to screens across the country. Lilly's sophomore EP Queen of Hearts dropped in Fall 2022 and her third EP, Love, Lily Lane, arrived in Fall 2024 as a genre-spanning concept record written during her engagement and released in the lead-up to her wedding. Its lead single, “I Do,” is a soul-infused acoustic love song praised by top bridal blogs as a perfect first-dance track. Now, with “Reciprocation” serving as an auspicious preview into her next chapter, including her upcoming EP, Domesticated, with her signature blend of powerhouse vocals, confessional songwriting, and stylized visuals, Lily Lane's not just dropping songs. She's setting the scene.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

We are joined by filmmaker Matt Whitaker, director of Truth and Treason, to explore the remarkable life of Helmut Hübener, a teenage Latter-day Saint who dared to defy Nazi Germany. At only 17 years old, Helmut became the youngest resistance fighter executed by the Third Reich, standing against tyranny with nothing but courage, conviction, and the written word.Whitaker shares how Helmut secretly listened to forbidden BBC broadcasts on a smuggled shortwave radio, uncovering truths hidden by Nazi propaganda. Inspired by what he heard, Helmut began typing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets with the help of friends in his LDS branch, risking everything to tell the truth. The conversation also highlights the moral struggles faced by ordinary Germans, including local church leaders, and the chilling reality that the Gestapo closely monitored the Mormon community.Blending historical detail with deeply human reflection, this episode shows how one young man's bravery continues to inspire generations. From Helmut's quiet defiance to the modern retelling of his story in Truth and Treason with Angel Studios, listeners are invited to reflect on the cost of truth, the dangers of silence, and the enduring power of faith in the face of tyranny.

At just nine years old, Jessica experienced the trauma of divorce and the sudden shift into a blended family with five new sisters. Food quickly became the language of love in her home, but it also fueled disordered eating patterns that spiraled into guilt, shame, and obsession around food. Years later, Jessica reached 360 pounds, underwent both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgeries, and began to see firsthand the limitations of relying on restriction and surgery alone.Today, Jessica is abstinent from offending foods and volume and thriving after decades of obesity, two major surgeries, and a history of drug and food addiction.

The conversation continues on the eastern Viking diaspora, noting that the power base of the Rus shifted from Novgorod to Kyiv, forming Kievan Rus. Although early rulers had Norsedescent, they assimilated culturally, blending Scandinavian and Slavic elements; Norse names like Ingvar and Helgabecame Igor and Olga. History is flexible, and competing groups interpret this mixed heritage. A major mystery discussed is the Salme ship burials in Estonia (Saaremaa island), dating around 750 AD, prior to Lindisfarne. The high-status dead, likely Swedish men on a diplomatic mission, died violently but were buried carefully with rich goods, including falcons and a king gaming piece in the mouth of a leader.

An ancient realm awakens. Somewhere between the living and the dead, a long forgotten forest begins to blossom. An exploration of loss, rebirth, and what awaits after death. A music driven short film that relies on imagery and sensation to convey meaning and suggest narrative. Even After (Prelude) was produced through digital paintings methodically rendered into photographic images with AI, custom small AI model creation for additional visuals, and original musical composition. The process used to create this film can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/y5VfbGxK1Iw https://www.instagram.com/anthony_leckie/ Director Statement I create music-driven short films that blend sculpture, painting, and AI to explore the inner landscape of self and the nature of a greater reality. My process begins with hand-sculpted digital characters and environments rooted in classical and Renaissance traditions. These are transformed into richly detailed, photorealistic visuals using AI tools — not to replace the artist's process, but to enrich it. I'm committed to exploring how AI can be used ethically in artmaking: not as a shortcut that erases creative work, but as a tool that preserves and amplifies the voice of the artist within a deeply intentional process. Original musical composition is the driving force of each piece. Rather than relying on dialogue or sound effects, I craft immersive scores that act as both the emotional anchor and the sonic identity of the world — shaping tone, pacing, and meaning. The music is not background; it is the pulse and spirit of the story. My films explore themes of death, transformation, memory, and the otherwordly. They often unfold in liminal and mythic spaces — haunted forests, vanished towns, thresholds of the afterlife — carried entirely by music, imagery, and movement. Blending conventional techniques with influences from silent film, experimental cinema, and works like Fantasia, my work exists between narrative and abstraction. It invites audiences to feel before they understand — to experience story as sensation — while redefining what cinematic language can be.

The discussion explores Wendy Adelson's choices through the lens of generational trauma and narcissistic control. Was Wendy repeating the patterns instilled in her by her mother, Donna Adelson? How does such an environment shape children who are caught in the crossfire of divorce, custody disputes, and — ultimately — violence? Blending professional expertise with raw personal reflections from Tony and his co-hosts, this segment delivers a powerful mix of true crime and psychology. Listeners are left with a deeper understanding of not just what happened, but why such destructive family dynamics can persist across generations — and the lasting scars they leave behind.

We're thrilled to welcome author (and good friend) Thomas Riddle to the podcast as he shares insights from his inspiring new book, Imagineering Education: A Guide to Creating the Most Magical Schools on Earth. What happens when teachers borrow imagineering principles—immersive storytelling, worldbuilding, and design—and bring them into the classroom? Could this be the key to unlocking deeper engagement and curiosity in students? Thomas makes a compelling case that this approach is tantalizingly possible. Blending lessons from both classroom practice and immersive design, Imagineering Education offers educators a practical framework for transforming schools into places of wonder, creativity, and authentic connection. In our conversation, we explore not only the powerful ideas in his book, but also our own public school experiences and the state of education in the U.S. today. It's a fascinating discussion you won't want to miss. Check out Imagineering Education: A Guide to Creating the Most Magical Schools on Earth here: Amazon link.
