GC13 and David discuss The Butterfly and the River from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Fionna may not be doing too much on protagonist duty in this episode, but she’s a fantastic supporting character in the series B plot. And maybe if we kill the right butterflies we won’t have to worry about her being further demoted to villain’s henchman. Huntress Wizard is doing well on her protagonist’s journey though. She’s got some nice big antlers now, and has demonstrated her ability to memorize the taste of water. She may survive in Nightmare Butterfly World yet.

2026 is not a normal year... In this conversation, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains why the turbulence we're witnessing is not random—it's the "crash mode" of an old civilization that has reached its biological and spiritual limit.According to him, we are in the midst of a metamorphosis. The old systems built on Darwinian competition and Newtonian materialism are falling apart so that a new, cooperative "butterfly" civilization can emerge.This is an evolutionary shift in energy and consciousness. And while the collapse is global, your role as an "imaginal cell" in this new world is deeply personal.

December was a rough month off-mic, fighting illness and holiday chaos, but we're back now to finally ask: What if the found footage was real…and the scariest thing wasn't the monster, but the filmmaker? This week, we're digging into Butterfly Kisses (2018), Erik Kristopher Myers' razor-sharp found footage deconstruction that asks a deeply uncomfortable question: how far will an artist go to be believed? The film follows Gavin York, a documentarian who stumbles upon a box of tapes left behind by two film students investigating an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. What starts as a forgotten student project quickly spirals into obsession, as Gavin sets out to “prove” the footage is authentic—dragging his own film crew (and his sanity) down with him. Part found footage, part academic critique, Butterfly Kisses plays in the same sandbox as The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and The Last Exorcism, then calmly turns to the camera and asks whether we actually want these stories to be true. It's less about jump scares and more about ego, credibility, and the uniquely modern horror of needing proof at any cost. Found footage skeptics welcome. Film nerds encouraged. Peeping Tom is watching either way. We also talk about hockey, Primate, and Strange Harvest. We're girls of simple taste.

Actor BD Wong rose to fame with the Tony Award-winning performance of Song Liling in the 1988 Broadway musical “M. Butterfly.” He went on to pick up more roles on stage and on screen, including a 14-year run portraying Dr. George Huang in the TV series “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Through all his successes and achievements, he's faced personal obstacles, as well as having to face the challenge of being a gay Asian actor in an industry where most of his peers didn't have his same background. In this episode of “Life In Seven Songs,” Wong details his journey as a boy growing up in the Sunset District nurturing his love of musical theater, to New York City as a young man where he lived in an apartment that was owned by the mafia. He talks about how the tragic loss of his baby made him a more confident public speaker, and how now, as an industry veteran, he's championing Asian representation in the entertainment industry. Here's his playlist: The Supremes, “Stop In The Name of Love” Charlie Rich, “Behind Closed Doors” Pacific Overtures OBC/Stephen Sondheim, “There Is No Other Way” Al Jarreau, “Boogie Down” Elton John, “The Greatest Discovery” Beyonce, “Love On Top” Dr. John, “Accentuate the Positive”

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Tony-winning director Julie Taymor. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including the visual motif of circles in THE LION KING, adapting the plot of the film, exploring artifice in THE TEMPEST on stage and on screen, working with Kathryn Hunter on A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, practicing mask work in auditions, how studying myths in college influenced her later work, her pioneering work on the film FRIDA, why Shakespeare's dialogue is inherently visual, creating a new form of theater in Korea, finding ideographs for every production she directs, bringing THE HAGGADAH to life at the Public Theater, collaborating with Elliott Goldenthal, combining opera and musical theater in JUAN DARIEN, finding a visual take on M. BUTTERFLY, changing the ending of GROUNDED, her opera debut with OEDIPUS, honing her craft in Paris, Indonesia, and Japan, the modern relevance of SPIDER MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK, her new musical THE GRAND DELUSION, and so much more. Don't miss this fascinating conversation with a true visionary.

The theme song to Reading Rainbow has been delighting kids (and nostalgic grown-ups) for over 40 years. But how did this instantly iconic track come to be? In this episode, composer Steve Horelick reveals the unlikely story of its creation, from its empowering lyrics, to its “fluttering butterfly” synth sound, to how Chaka Khan and a mystery drummer helped shape one of its later versions.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's episode is one so many of you have asked for: how to navigate the rocky transition back to school after the holidays. And not just for our kids, but for ourselves, too.I'm joined by my friend Laura Petix, also known as The OT Butterfly. She's a pediatric occupational therapist, a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent kid, and the author of A Kid's Book About Neurodiversity. This convo is a mix of validation, strategy, and "yep, me too" moments you're going to want to come back to.We talk about how to actually support regulation in those first weeks back, whether your kid is a sensory seeker or sensory sensitive, and how to lower demands, build in support, and reset your own expectations. We also get into the emotional side of school refusal, those brutal morning meltdowns, and why some kids just need a longer runway to get going again. Plus, Laura shares her brilliant nervous system budget analogy, which I think you're going to love.This one's for anyone starting the year already feeling tapped out, and trying to figure out how to make re-entry just a little softer.Alright folks, let's dive in.

Today, as we wrap up our seventh year and 399th episode of Your World of Creativity, it's fitting that we welcome a guest who perfectly captures the essence of transformation and growth — Rachel Burr.Rachel's Website @Catamentum on Instagram Rachel's Facebook page Rachel is an executive coach and leadership consultant with more than 20 years of experience helping leaders navigate the complex, unpredictable world of human dynamics. She knows that leadership can be messy — because people are unpredictable — and most leaders are promoted for technical excellence, not people skills.Rachel specializes in human-centered leadership, guiding executives to build self-awareness, empathy, and relational intelligence. Her book Butterfly Goo beautifully compares leadership growth to a caterpillar's transformation — messy, nonlinear, and deeply transformative.1. From Caterpillar to Leader — Why “Butterfly Goo”?Rachel, your metaphor of transformation is so vivid — comparing leadership development to the chaos of metamorphosis. What does that “goo” stage represent for leaders, and why do you think so many get stuck there instead of breaking through?Human-Centered Leadership in a Technical WorldYou often say leaders are promoted for technical excellence, not people skills. What are some of the most common people-dynamic challenges leaders face — and how can they start to build emotional and relational intelligence?Overcoming Fear and Finding FulfillmentMany of your clients struggle with fear — of failure, of being vulnerable, of not being enough. How do you help leaders confront those fears and replace them with a sense of purpose and fulfillment?Navigating Complex Workplace DynamicsWith your background in organizational development and clinical psychology, what practical tools or exercises do you use to help leaders manage interpersonal challenges and organizational change — especially in high-pressure environments?Humor, Humanity, and Real ChangeYou use humor and practical exercises to make deep transformation approachable. Why is it important for leaders to lighten up — and how can humor actually support growth, empathy, and connection?Rachel, as we wrap up this milestone episode and our seventh year of Your World of Creativity, what's one piece of advice you'd offer to leaders — or anyone listening — who's ready to embrace their own transformation and move from stuck to unstoppable?Thanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee — fueling creative conversations everywhere.

The butterfly effect is the idea that a small change in one part of the world can have huge consequences in another. It is often used as a metaphor for how our actions can shape the future in unpredictable ways. The term was coined by the American mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who was studying the behavior of weather systems. He discovered that even tiny variations in the initial conditions of a weather model could lead to vastly different outcomes over time. He illustrated this with the example of a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and causing a tornado in Texas. What kind of systems exhibit the butterfly effect?

Notes and Links to Cole Cuchna's Work     Cole Cuchna graduated from California State University with a degree in music composition. Cuchna graduated in 2015, pursued a short solo career, then worked as a barista. But his desire to bridge the classical and pop worlds persisted. He remembered his love of writing essays and conducting deep research about music. That coincided with the growing popularity of podcasting, which had been around for a decade. It was the perfect medium, he felt, for long-form analysis of an audio art.    Cole is the host and creator of Dissect Podcast, a music podcast which debuted in 2016. The podcast is renowned for its in-depth analysis of contemporary music. Dissect was named "Best podcast of 2017" by Quartz, and the following year was named "Best podcast of 2018" by The New York Times. Additionally, both Time magazine and The Guardian listed Dissect as one of the top 50 podcasts of 2018. 2025 marks the 13th season of Dissect.  Listen to Dissect Podcast   Watch Dissect Podcast on Netflix   Dissect Podcast Homepage   Dissect Podcast Wikipedia   Review of Dissect Podcast   At about 2:55, Cole explains plans for Dissect Podcast on Netflix, coming soon!

Send us a textThis episode “God Bless The Birds and Butterflies” is about remembering and appreciating the small things that happen in between the bigger things that were waiting for. When we give gratitude, so many times we give gratitude for the big things but it's the little ones that make life so beautiful also, as with the birds and the butterflies. Unfortunately we don't appreciate these things until they're gone and I've noticed a drop off of both in the area where I live and I'm missing it and realizing how beautiful they were, the birds for their sound and the butterflies for their color and beauty. These are things that money can't buy.  What this all equates to is living in the moment where you can see the beauty in things that are happening that we take for granted while we're waiting for the bigger things to happen. So as we approach 2026 let's remember the things that we think will always be there, let's not take them for granted any more, let's appreciate everything that's around us.Support the show

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are taking aim at Butterfly, both the new Prime Video series and the graphic novel that inspired it. On screen, Butterfly brings spycraft, family secrets, and explosive action to life. Starring Daniel Dae Kim and Reina Hardesty, and created by Ken Woodruff and Steph Cha, the six-episode series follows a retired assassin whose past comes crashing back when his estranged daughter steps into the same dangerous world. Set across South Korea it is a story of espionage wrapped around the bonds of family. Then we turn to the source material, the Boom! Studios graphic novel by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, with art by Antonio Fuso. Here the cold war of secrets plays out on the page with a grounded take on betrayal, trust, and survival. Whether you are streaming the series or flipping the pages, Fantastic Forum is your place to talk Butterfly. Fantastic Forum, assemble!

We've been celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, for our final "classic episode" of 2025, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with "All I Want for Christmas" co-writer Walter Afanasieff. Happy holidays and thanks for a great year of looking back together as we continue to look toward the future!ABOUT WALTER AFANASIEFFThirteen-time Grammy nominee and two-time winner Walter Afanasieff is best known for his collaborative songwriting and production partnership with Mariah Carey that yielded hit singles such as “Can't Let Go,” “Dreamlover,” “Hero,” “Without You,” “Anytime You Need a Friend,” “Butterfly,” “My All,” and “One Sweet Day,” a duet with Boyz II Men that was named ASCAP Song of the Year. It hit #1 in December of 1995 and stayed there for sixteen weeks—a record that remained unbroken for more than two decades. Their “All I Want for Christmas is You” was released in 1994 and has since become a holiday standard. It hit #1 on Billboard's pop chart for the first time in 2019, giving Walter and Mariah the world record for the longest period of time between a song's original release and its arrival at the top of the chart.  In addition to his success with Carey, Afanasieff carved out a formidable reputation as a go-to producer of hit movie songs. After co-writing and co-producing the Gladys Knight single “License to Kill” from the James Bond film of the same name, he went on to produce “Beauty and the Beast,” “A Whole New World” from Aladdin, “Even If My Heart Would Break” from The Bodyguard, and “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic, which became the best-selling single in the world for 1998. Additionally he produced “Some Day” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Academy Award nominated “Go the Distance” from Hercules.Other hits from the Walter Afanasieff songbook include “Can You Stop the Rain,” a #1 R&B single for Peabo Bryson that earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song, “Missing You Now,” a #1 Adult Contemporary hit for Michael Bolton, “If You Go Away,” a Top 20 single for New Kids on the Block, Savage Garden's #1 pop single “I Knew I Loved You,” and Ricky Martin's massive global hit “She Bangs.”The long list of additional artists Walter has written and produced music for includes Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Luther Vandross, Destiny's Child, Kenny G, Andrea Bocelli, Johnny Mathis, Kenny Loggins, Barbra Streisand, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Babyface, and Josh Groban.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What This Episode Is AboutIf your brain generates ideas faster than you can execute them, this conversation will make you feel seen. Sarah runs five businesses and has developed a systematic approach to managing what I call the "burden of creativity"—that relentless flow of inspiration that can fuel or derail you, depending on how you work with it.This isn't about picking one lane or shutting down your creative engine. It's about building frameworks that let you honor your ideas without drowning in them.Who This Episode Is ForFounders juggling multiple business ideas or revenue streamsCreatives who struggle with follow-through despite abundant inspirationConsultants and coaches who feel scattered across too many offersAnyone who's been shamed for having "too many interests."Serial entrepreneurs who want to build interconnected businesses without burning outThe Big IdeaHaving an ADHD brain means you're wired for abundant creativity. The challenge isn't generating ideas—it's knowing which ones deserve your energy and how to move them from concept to completion without burning out or abandoning ship halfway through.Sarah's approach: treat your ideas like they matter, but give them structure so they don't hijack your focus.What to Listen For The Reality of Being a Creative PolymathFor many ADHD entrepreneurs, being interested in multiple things isn't a distraction —it's how they're built. Sarah explains why being a polymath is actually an advantage in today's business landscape, as long as you set boundaries around what gets your attention.The "Catching Butterflies" System: Capture, Connect, Structure, Iterate, Express, ReflectSarah walks through her six-stage process for managing creative output. It starts with capturing every idea without judgment, then moves through connecting related concepts, building structure around the keepers, iterating on them, expressing them in the world, and reflecting on what worked. Simple in concept, powerful in practice.Using AI as Your Digital Thought PartnerBoth Sarah and I use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) to externalize our thinking. Instead of letting ideas swirl in our heads, we dump them into our AI assistants to help us organize, connect dots, and build project folders. It's like having a patient colleague who never gets tired of your tangents.The 3D Jenga Model for Interconnected ProjectsRather than treating each business or project as a standalone tower that could topple, Sarah visualizes her work as a 3D Jenga structure. Each piece supports the others. When one idea doesn't work out, the whole thing doesn't collapse—the remaining pieces actually get stronger.Energy Management Over Time ManagementReflection isn't self-indulgence—it's how you build a feedback loop that keeps you moving forward. Regular check-ins about how you feel, what your vision is, and whether your projects still serve that vision help you stay aligned instead of spinning your...

Every family has an origin story—and it's not always the one told at holidays. In this episode, Tony explores the fascinating concept of the butterfly effect and how it applies to family systems. From a scientist's obsession with Gila monster saliva that led to Ozempic, to a wrong turn that ignited World War I, small moments can create massive ripples. But what happens when the butterfly in your family isn't an event—it's a person? Through the story of "Uncle Ray," Tony unpacks how one emotionally overwhelmed parent can set patterns that echo for decades, and how family roles—the helper, the peacekeeper, the fixer, the scapegoat—get assigned long before we're even aware of them. You'll learn about the patterns of emotional immaturity (black-and-white thinking, mind reading, magical thinking, and more) and how they show up in everyday family dynamics. Most importantly, Tony shares the hopeful truth: the butterfly effect works both ways. One person's dysfunction can ripple through generations—but so can one person's healing. If you've ever wondered how to break cycles in your own family or show up differently this holiday season, this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

What do you do when someone in your family needs drama to feel alive? In this crossover episode, Tony dives deep into the anatomy of emotional immaturity through the story of "Uncle Ray"—a family member whose constant need for conflict, grievance, and the "one-up position" sent shockwaves through an entire family system. Tony breaks down the key patterns of emotional immaturity you'll recognize: black-and-white thinking, assumed intent without curiosity, difficulty with accountability, emotional reasoning ("I feel it, so it must be true"), external validation dependence, magical thinking, and the exhausting game of "whack-a-mole" that comes with trying to have a conversation with someone who's looking for attack surfaces rather than connection. You'll also learn about "pathological kindness"—the breakup-resistant dynamic that keeps enablers locked in relationships with emotionally immature people—and how these patterns get passed down through generations. Tony traces Uncle Ray's patterns back to his mother's divorce and the emotional template that shaped him, showing how one grandmother's pain rippled forward into holiday traditions lost and family relationships fractured. If you have an Uncle Ray in your life, this episode offers clarity: you can't change them, but you can set boundaries, refuse triangulation, grieve the family you wished you had, and become the catalyst for a different kind of ripple in your own family system. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

You might think about bats as flitting around in the dark and hunting insects, but some species feed on fruits or flowers—and play an important role as pollinators. One place that role is crucial is in the relationship between bats and agave plants.
