This week, Julia and Steve welcome guest host Sam Adams to deconstruct the aggravating, yet strangely charming, table tennis phenom on the make that is Marty Supreme. Played with “BDE off-the-charts” (Steve's words) by Timothée Chalamet, the unceasingly shameless hustler may just be an avatar for our age. Speaking of avatars, we can't avoid discussing Avatar: Fire and Ash, the latest installment of James Cameron's immersive mega-franchise. Once again, the big blue folks peopling Pandora drew boku bucks at the box office… but do the Avatar films have any “cultural impact”? And what does “cultural impact” even mean? New Yorker staff writer Michael Schulman steps into the cultural cage match to debate this long-simmering internet argument. On this week's bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the hosts take up a listener question about “cultural bran muffins,” the bits of culture you know would be good for you if only you could get them down. The hosts confess their bran secrets. Endorsements Steve: The essay "Two Pins and a Lollipop" about Judy Garland by Bee Wilson in the London Review of Books. Sam: The album Penthouse by the band Luna, particularly the song  "Chinatown." Julia: Slate's beloved annual tradition Movie Club which for its 2025 edition gathers film critics Bilge Ebiri, Alison Wilmore, Justin Chang, and our very own Dana Stevens for a rollicking exchange about the year in film. --- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

High performers often feel drained even when life is working. In this episode, Julie Holly explains why always being “on” exhausts your nervous system — and how identity-level recalibration restores energy without disengaging from leadership.Why do high performers feel tired even when nothing is technically wrong?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of always being “on” — a state that often looks like strength, leadership, and responsibility, but quietly drains capacity over time.Many high-capacity humans experience a unique kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from overwork alone. It shows up as decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, and a persistent sense of being depleted despite competence and momentum. This episode names what's happening beneath the surface: vigilance — a nervous system state designed for short bursts of readiness that has quietly become a way of life.Julie unpacks the science behind vigilance and explains how three invisible loads stack over time:cognitive load from constant decision-makingemotional load from holding others and managing impactidentity load from sustaining the version of yourself that keeps everything workingThis isn't burnout caused by failure or weakness. It's fatigue caused by adaptation.The episode also highlights Rosalind Brewer as a living example of calm authority in high-pressure environments. Her leadership demonstrates that presence and regulation do not dilute power — they stabilize it.Throughout the conversation, Julie differentiates Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) from mindset tactics, productivity hacks, or surface-level rest strategies. ILR doesn't ask you to disengage or do less. It works at the root — recalibrating identity so the nervous system no longer relies on tension to maintain effectiveness. This is the recalibration that makes every other tool work again.If you've ever felt capable and depleted at the same time…If success feels heavier than it should…If you're longing for relief without losing your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere am I staying “on” because it's familiar — not because it's required? No fixing. No forcing rest. Just awareness — because awareness gives your system new options.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don't always go the way we hope. There's something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become. I'm sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference. If you're stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this episode will encourage you.

Send us a textStart with the truth: technology keeps changing the book world, but the love of reading isn't going anywhere. That's our springboard for a rich, candid conversation with publishing analyst and author Thad McIlroy about what AI can actually do for writers, publishers, translators, and readers—and where it crosses lines that matter. We trace his arc from bookstore floors to indie publishing, investigative journalism, and desktop publishing, then into the fast-moving landscape of modern AI.We get practical fast. Want a sharper pitch, a cleaner description, better metadata, and smarter keywords? Use AI as a drafting partner—then apply human voice and judgment. Thinking about acquisitions or submissions? Run a secure, opt-out upload and ask the model who the audience is, what comp titles make sense, and how to position the work. We talk tools—Claude for colloquial nuance, Gemini for reasoning, ChatGPT with training opt-outs—and how to protect manuscripts while you explore.We also tackle the hard edges. Headlines predicting the “death of authors” are noisy, but real concerns remain: training on copyrighted books without compensation, contracts that quietly assign AI rights, and the limits of AI detection tools. Thad breaks down recent rulings vs. piracy, separates legal allowances from ethical responsibilities, and shares what to renegotiate now so creators aren't boxed out later. On translation, we sketch a hybrid workflow—machine draft, human craft—that can open doors for books that would never otherwise travel, while preserving the nuance great translators bring.Through it all, we return to the point of the industry: a reader choosing a book, a poet on a shelf, an indie bookseller who knows your taste. AI can help us market smarter, iterate faster, and reach farther—but it shouldn't replace the human spark that makes literature worth saving. If that balance resonates with you, follow along, share this conversation with a friend, and leave a review to help more book lovers find the show.Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

From mythology and theology to ancient antiquities, the entire planet is littered with evidence of a not-so-lost civilization. It calls out to us with megalithic structures, self-replicating soils, and ancient chemistry, biology, engineering, agriculture, and astronomy to name a few. Although untold evidence is buried under sand, or underground beneath the sand, of deserts, under water, or in remote regions, what is visible on the surface alone tells a vastly different story about human origins.

Cutting off family and chronic therapy have become normalized, yet people feel more disconnected than ever. What's labeled as healing often rewards avoidance and quietly erodes emotional resilience. We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle with Tania Khazaal. We also chat about why therapy can keep people stuck instead of healing, how “protecting your peace” often protects pain, and why most people quit in the valley of despair right before real growth begins. Tania Khazaal is an emotional healing expert with a background in herbal practice and extensive study in psychology, neuroscience, human behavior, and communication. Her work centers on emotional resilience, relational repair, and the mind body connection. What We Discuss: (05:24) Why family estrangement is rising (06:27) How therapy culture can keep people stuck (08:24) When “protecting your peace” becomes avoidance (14:06) Triggers vs personal responsibility (23:03) Emotional suppression and physical health (36:54) Gentle parenting, discipline, and resilience (39:17) How emotional growth affects health, relationships, and performance (44:37) The valley of despair and why people quit( 49:12) Discipline and future pacing over motivation Thank you to our sponsors: Prolon: Get 30% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!

Most people find the Old Testament confusing, dusty, or even intimidating. But what if it's actually the essential foundation for everything you believe about Jesus Christ? Today, we unlock the "Library of Books" that makes up the first half of our scripture and discover why it is the indispensable foundation of the covenant. Summary: In this introductory lesson, we lay the groundwork for a year-long journey through the Old Testament. We move beyond seeing it as a singular book and begin to view it as a diverse library of 39 books. Key themes include: The Foundation of the Covenant: Understanding why the Old Testament is the root from which the New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants grow. Structure and Organization: A breakdown of the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh) and its three parts: the Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The Power of Translation: Exploring how the Bible moved from Hebrew to Greek to English, and why the Joseph Smith Translation is vital for our study. Finding Christ in the Old Testament: Moving past the "dead letter" to see the "living spirit" of the Messiah on every page. Call-to-Action: Which book of the Old Testament has always felt the most "sealed" to you? Let us know in the comments, and let's commit to opening it together this year!

A first Thanksgiving in the midcentury masterpiece has come and gone and, with it, a cozy familial gathering. Some brief fireplace talk leads to a quick discussion of your host's imminent demise (imminent in geologic time, that is). Meanwhile, over in Bridgeburg, a sad and lonely Clyde sits alone in a jail cell.

Suleika Jaouad, author of a bestselling memoir about her battle with cancer, and most recently, The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life (Penguin Random House, 2025), discusses her latest Substack essay on how New Year's resolutions almost never stick, and how she engages in the pleasures of small rituals instead. Listeners call in to share about the resolutions they made that they've actually stuck with... which may be more like smaller, daily rituals instead of lofty, life-changing goals.

Change is difficult. Our routines can feel locked in, our habits on autopilot, and the idea of a major lifestyle overhaul can seem impossible.  However, Rich Roll is living proof that this isn't the case. Once struggling with addiction and poor health, he transformed his diet, rebuilt his body, and completely rewrote his future. In today's conversation, Tim Spector and Rich Roll discuss why midlife is a crucial turning point for health, what happens to your microbiome when you change your diet, and why it's never too late to make a dramatic shift.

High performers often assume exhaustion comes from full schedules. But this kind of fatigue runs deeper. In this episode, Julie Holly explores burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing effectiveness.Why do high performers feel tired even when their life is full, functional, and objectively successful?Many high-capacity humans don't describe themselves as burned out. They describe themselves as busy, responsible, and always going. Their schedules are full. Their roles are demanding. And yet, beneath the surface, there's a persistent fatigue that rest doesn't quite touch.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores a rarely named truth: much of what we call burnout isn't failure or weakness—it's exhaustion from adaptation.When leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn to regulate themselves around effectiveness instead of identity, their system adapts by staying “on.” Present at home. Braced with clients. Capable in leadership. Over time, this role-based regulation creates decision fatigue, role confusion, success fatigue, and a quiet sense of spiritual exhaustion—even in a life that looks “right.”This conversation gently reframes:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity drift goes unaddressedHow performance pressure creates internal effort most people never seeWhy success without fulfillment is often a signal, not a problemHow over-adaptation becomes exhausting—even when it once workedThe episode also highlights embodied presence through the example of Denzel Washington, whose grounded authority illustrates what strength without internal division can look like in real life.This episode is especially resonant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutdecision fatiguerole confusionperformance pressureidentity misalignmentspiritual exhaustionToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:What part of me learned to stay “on” — and what was it trying to protect?No fixing. No judging. Just noticing. That awareness is where recalibration begins.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
