What can Diogenes teach us about the roots of Stoicism? In today's episode, Ryan and classicist Inger Kuin break down the real gap between Stoicism and Cynicism, discussing why one trusted order and structure while the other thought most of society was nonsense. They get into Diogenes' legendary stunts, the Stoics' attempt to distance themselves from him, and why the world still needs people who question absolutely everything.Inger Kuin is a researcher, writer, and teacher focused on the intellectual history of ancient Greece and Rome. She is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia. Originally from The Netherlands, she publishes both in English and in Dutch.Check out Inger's website: https://ingerkuin.com/Be sure to pick up a copy of Inger's new book Diogenes: The Rebellious Life and Revolutionary Philosophy of the Original Cynic.

How does a college dance teacher end up becoming one of the most recognized names in fitness? In this Fitness Friday episode, Shaun T joins me to share how he went from teaching hip-hop classes at Equinox to creating Hip Hop Abs, Insanity, and inspiring millions of people around the world. We talk about what really keeps people motivated, why fun matters more than fear, and how confidence gets built one rep at a time. Shaun also opens up about his evolution, from being told he'd never hit like a pro to beating Serena Williams in doubles, and how therapy changed his mindset as a high achiever. He shares what it was like to grow through the early days of Beachbody, how Hip Hop Abs was born, and why showing up fully as yourself is what creates real connection. For Shaun, being a gay Black man in the fitness space wasn't something to hide. It became his strength. Shaun T is a fitness trainer, choreographer, and motivational speaker best known for programs like Insanity, T25, and Hip Hop Abs. He's also an advocate for mental health, self-belief, and authenticity in and out of the gym.

There was a time when almost everyone, from Alexander Graham Bell to the Wall Street Journal, believed there was a supremely intelligent civilization on Mars, one that was probably trying to talk to Earthlings. Most of this belief could be traced to an amateur astronomer and charismatic speaker named Percival Lowell. David Baron tells this story in “The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America,” the product of seven years of research into this strange chapter of history. He shares many of the most surprising, fascinating, and very entertaining details, including much that had been lost to history, in this book club conversation with Mat Kaplan.

Books are disappearing from kids' lives, and so is something sacred. In this episode of Celebrate Kids: Facing in the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore startling new data showing that only 30% of eighth-graders read at or above proficiency, and that over 30% of teens hardly ever read for fun. Together, they unpack why reading has declined over the last 40 years and how technology has quietly taken its place. Dr. Kathy, whose Ph.D. is in reading and educational psychology, explains that kids don't just learn from books, they learn through them. Reading shapes imagination, memory, empathy, and even spiritual understanding. From a dad's nightly reading routine full of laughter and silly voices to the ancient call in Deuteronomy for God's Word to be read aloud to every generation, Wayne and Dr. Kathy remind parents that reading isn't just an academic exercise; it's identity formation. Discover how reading together restores belonging, deepens faith, and invites our kids to see the world through God's story, not just a glowing screen.

Street smarts is the REAL currency—the raw, gut-level intelligence that turns weak negotiators into deal-closers, and average salespeople into legends. This isn't theory. This is survival-level dominance—the kind that reads a room in 3 seconds, flips objections into yeses, and makes people beg to buy from you. Without it? You're getting eaten alive. With it? You can increase your income, your influence, your LIFE. Street smarts defined: It's your social IQ —reading people like a book, adapting in chaos, and making split-second moves that win. It's not EQ. It's not book smarts. It's real-world radar: spotting lies, building trust fast, knowing when to push, when to walk. It's the hidden code that separates the 1% who crush from the 99% who get crushed. maximizeyourinfluence.com

In the days after 9/11, George W. Bush declared a state of emergency and initiated what would become an unprecedented expansion of US power. Public debate narrowed: there were new limits on what was acceptable, and not acceptable, to say. The London Review of Books published a number of pieces that challenged this consensus, forcing its editor, Mary-Kay Wilmers, to defend the paper on national radio. This is the first episode in a six-part series.

In this episode, historian Dr. Chris Smith discusses the Coventry Blitz, marking its 85th anniversary. He explores the myths surrounding the event, particularly the narrative that Churchill sacrificed Coventry to protect intelligence secrets. The conversation delves into the scale of the bombing, the city's industrial significance, the immediate aftermath, and the role of propaganda. Smith also highlights the reconstruction efforts and the lasting legacy of the Blitz in Coventry's identity, emphasizing themes of resilience and reconciliation. Note: I'm aware of the technical problems with the guest's video - unfortunately, there is no way to fix it, but the audio is fine. Also, there will not be a podcast next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Links Chris Smith at Coventry University "The Last Cambridge Spy: John Cairncross, Bletchley Codebreaker and Soviet Double Agent" by Chris Smith Official Coventry Cathedral website: coventrycathedral.org.uk Hitler's Btlitz's on Britain (Article) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The Coventry Blitz is framed by both historical and modern narratives. Myths surrounding the Blitz, particularly about Churchill, persist despite being debunked. The bombing raid on Coventry was one of the largest of the war at that time. Coventry's industrial significance made it a strategic target during WWII. The aftermath of the bombing revealed a complex public reaction, not just unity. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Blitz. The reconstruction of Coventry was influenced by pre-war modernization plans. The new cathedral symbolizes peace and reconciliation after the war. Coventry's identity is deeply tied to the events of the Blitz. Commemoration of the Blitz remains significant in Coventry's cultural memory. Soundbites Here are 10 interesting soundbites from the Coventry Blitz podcast: On the scale of the raid: "They dropped something in the region of 30,000 incendiary bombs, 500 tons of high explosives and 50 landmines. They even used some brand new types of explosive that they hadn't really been using to that point. It's a really, really massive raid by the standards of the war to that point." On the Churchill Ultra myth: "There's no evidence that Churchill made a decision to sacrifice Coventry. It's an absolute fantasy which basically has to rely upon either Churchill being the most evil man who has ever existed or the most incompetent man who has ever existed." On strategic bombing's true purpose: "One of the points of strategic bombing is terror, is to cause terror amongst the citizens... the British actually have a really nasty euphemism for this, which was to 'dehouse people' as a result of bombing. And that's how they basically described killing citizens and making other citizens homeless." On Coventry's industrial importance: "Coventry is hugely important industrially to Britain's war effort... by the time we get into the 20th century, bicycle manufacturing, the auto industry, the car industry becomes very important to Coventry, which makes it both wealthy and a ripe target." On the cathedral's symbolism: "They didn't knock it down. They built a new cathedral right next to it. So if any of your listeners ever visit Coventry, you can actually walk around the ruins of the old cathedral... It's a really powerful testament to resilience." On why the myth persists: "The myth of Churchill sacrificing Coventry persists because it plays into this very British, post-war self-image of stoic heroism and difficult choices. It makes for a better story than the truth, which is that sometimes intelligence fails and terrible things happen." On comparing bombing campaigns: "In Dresden, over 22,000 people are killed. The US conventional bombing of Tokyo kills over 100,000 people. So by those standards, what we're talking about in Coventry is relatively light, but by the context of what's happening in Britain, it's extremely serious." On "Keep Calm and Carry On": "These posters were wildly unpopular. They're really patronizing. They never really get used in the Second World War—they mostly just stay in a warehouse and are pulped for paper. But now they've taken on this massive life... You cannot go to London without seeing them, but you wouldn't have seen that in the Second World War at all." On Coventry's transformation: "Coventry becomes a symbol of reconciliation and peace after the war, forging connections with other bombed cities including Dresden. It's this remarkable transformation from devastation to representing hope and international cooperation." On the raid's duration: "The raid begins around seven o'clock in the evening, 10 past seven, and it lasts for a good 11 hours. The all-clear isn't actually announced until 6:16 the following morning. Eleven hours of continuous bombing—imagine living through that."

Plastic is everywhere. In our homes, on our streets, in our oceans. But recent research suggests it's also inside us: in our blood, our organs, even our brain. So how concerned should we be? Today, Jonathan and Dr. Federica Amati are joined by longevity doctor and clinician Dr. Sabine Donnai to explore one critical question: what does plastic exposure mean for our long-term health?  Dr. Donnai breaks down how microplastics travel from packaging, food, and air into our bloodstream, and why their size means they may cross biological barriers once thought impenetrable, including the blood-brain barrier. The conversation also looks at the broader health implications of plastic-associated chemicals like BPA, their potential links to hormone disruption, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk, and why avoiding them may be especially important for those living in urban areas. For listeners keen to take practical steps, this episode offers simple and empowering guidance. Dr. Donnai shares specific tools that can reduce your exposure without creating unnecessary fear or overwhelm. You'll also hear how diet plays a key role in supporting your body's natural detox processes and why a colourful, fibre-rich diet may help us all manage the modern plastic burden. If plastics are entering your brain and bloodstream, what does it mean for your future health? And how much control do we really have in a world built on plastic? Unwrap the truth about your food

The conversation brims with warmth as Adib and Hanna share the story behind their collaboration, revealing that, surprisingly, many authors and illustrators rarely meet during the creative process—making their teamwork even more special.

Both guests reminisce about their own tea experiences and marvel at the world's many unique tea traditions, from Japanese ceremonies to intimate family rituals. Jed, Adib, and Hanna also discuss the magic of picture books: how they distill big ideas into poetic stories that capture children's imaginations.

It's a heartwarming conversation steeped in creativity, cultural celebration, and the simple joys of reading and sharing time together.
