Visits with loved ones are a special time in prison. Families come from all over the state to see their loved ones for a short while, and it's one of the only opportunities incarcerated parents can connect with their kids. Uncuffed producer Fonuamana Fuahala recounts one memorable visit with his son.

Danny Rensch was born into a cult that weaponized chess for prestige. He's here to explain how he broke free on part one of this two-part episode.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1289What We Discuss with Danny Rensch:Cults don't always start with sinister blueprints. The Church of Immortal Consciousness where Danny Rensch was raised grew from self-help roots and communal idealism into full financial control — where members surrendered everything, kids shared bathwater, and the shoe list became a euphemism for "you don't matter enough to get a pair."The cult weaponized chess the same way the Soviet Union did — as a tool for prestige. Danny was identified as a prodigy, deliberately separated from his mother, and groomed as the collective's golden child. His talent wasn't nurtured for his sake — it was exploited for the cult leader's ego.By age 13, Danny was living alone, traveling to national chess tournaments with pockets full of cash and no adult supervision. The neglect wasn't just emotional — it was physical. Untreated swimmer's ear became severe infection, leaving him 60% deaf in one ear and 40% in the other.A drunk, defecting Soviet grandmaster named Igor Ivanov — who once fled the KGB during an emergency plane stop — became Danny's live-in chess coach. Igor had carte blanche to drink and do as he pleased, making him the cult's most functional dysfunction and Danny's unlikely lifeline to the wider chess world.Despite growing up as a high school dropout in a cult with no formal education, Danny became a successful writer and helped build Chess.com — proof that curiosity, baseline intelligence, and sheer determination can outrun even the most rigged starting hand. Motivated people can learn faster than any institution expects them to.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Air Week: February 23-March 1, 2026 The Moonglows, Pt. 1 – 1953-55 Much has been written about the great R&B vocal groups of the 1950s. Many of the classic groups were either great musicians and vocalists and never had the recognition or record sales to back it up or these groups were thrown together, they couldn’t sing very well and scored one, solid hit that still spins in the eternal jukebox of public consciousness. The Moonglows were one of the few groups to come out of the post World War II, pre-Elvis era, who were extremely talented and had the sales figures and notoriety to back it up. Originally called The Crazy Sounds, Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester led The Moonglows to a #1 R&B smash in 1954 with “Sincerely” on Chess, but that was after a somewhat bumpy start on Alan Freed’s Champagne Records and Chicago’s Chance Records. This week, Matt The Cat presents part 1 of a 2 part feature on the fantastic Moonglows, covering their career from 1953 to 1955. Vocal harmony doesn’t get much sweeter than this, so don’t miss one note of this week’s “Juke In The Back” radio program. LISTEN BELOW

We're living in the "centaur era" of AI and if you're not combining human judgment with AI tools, you're already falling behind. In this episode, Zack Cohen and the Bitcoin Policy Hour team break down the BCG study proving that AI-augmented workers crush both pure humans and blind AI users, then pivot to Secretary Rubio's landmark Munich Security Conference speech signaling the end of the postwar order with Europe. Plus, the hosts analyze Bitcoin ETF flows, whale selling pressure, and why a federal judge just ruled your AI chat logs aren't privileged.

Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:Drei aktuelle Netflix-Titel zwischen Spionage, Zeitdiagnose und Schachbrett: "Unfamiliar" inszeniert deutsche Agenten-Düsternis mit viel Atmosphäre und politischem Anspruch, wirkt dabei jedoch stellenweise spürbar konstruiert und dramaturgisch etwas zu kalkuliert; "Breakdown: 1975" von Morgan Neville analysiert klug den kulturellen und politischen Ausnahmezustand der USA nach Vietnam und Watergate und zeichnet ein dichtes Bild der “New Hollywood”-Ära, bleibt dabei jedoch in entscheidenden Momenten eher an der Oberfläche; "Queen of Chess" von Rory Kennedy porträtiert Judit Polgár und ihre legendären Duelle mit Garry Kasparov als faszinierende Charakterstudie - spannend in den psychologischen Momenten, dramaturgisch jedoch recht konventionell.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

Raised inside the Church of Immortal Consciousness and taken from his mother under the banner of “spiritual purpose,” Danny Rensch grew up in a world where channeling spirits and chasing chess mastery were intertwined. In this gripping conversation, the International Master and co-founder of Chess.com opens up about being groomed for greatness by a chess-obsessed cult leader, the trauma of spiritual manipulation, the collapse of the collective that shaped him, and the long road toward forgiveness and integration. Danny shares how chess became both his escape and his evolution — an unsolvable, unforgiving game that mirrors life itself — and how he helped lead the digital revolution that brought the royal game to over 200 million players worldwide. This is a raw, nuanced exploration of consciousness, power, resilience, and what it really means to reclaim your own narrative.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser (00:34) Opening Conversation (04:37) Understanding Ibogaine and Its Effects (06:25) The Healing Power of Ibogaine (25:24) The Definition of Self-Love That Was Revealed (33:35) Intergenerational Healing (40:51) Reverence vs. Worship: Understanding the Difference (42:43) Yerasimos' Ayahuasca Experience (46:27) The Role of the Medicine in Personal Development (52:54) The Supplemental Dose: Processing Emotions and Ancestral Trauma (01:00:30) Integration and the Challenges of Returning to Normal Life (01:03:09) The Relationship Between Self-Betrayal and Self-Love (01:15:20) The Importance of Intent and Reverence in Medicine Work (01:22:28) Surrender and Trust: Lessons from the Divine Realm (01:27:25) Setting Intentions and Personal Reflections (01:30:09) The Impact of Social Media and Technology (01:40:37) Voluntarism and Political Philosophy (01:43:49) Personal Growth and SpiritualityGuest Linkshttps://www.chess.com/ Danny's incredible memoir “Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life”Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

[I am a career advisor at 80,000 Hours. I've been thinking about something Will MacAskill said recently in an interview with my shrimp-friend Matt: "should people be more ambitious? I genuinely think yes. I think people systematically aren't ambitious enough, so the answer is almost always yes. Again, the ambition you have should match the scale of the problems that we're facing—and the scale of those problems is very large indeed." This post is my reflection on these ideas.] ************ My last post argued that if you want to have a great career, your goal should not be to get a job. Instead, you should choose an important problem to work on, then “get good and be known.” Building skills will allow you to solve problems and reap the benefits. In the ~500 career advising calls I've hosted in the past year, the most common response I've heard has been: “Okay, how good? How well known? How many hours of practice will get me there?” Most people want to calibrate their ambitions so that the time and energy they invest feels worth it to them. I empathize with this, but when I'm honest– with myself for my own [...] ---Outline:(06:28) Jensen Huang is more ambitious than you(12:58) Most extreme ambition is misplaced(17:45) Okay, how can altruistic people aim higher and work harder?(21:17) Ambition at the End of the Human Era(24:03) Closing Caveats - Efficiency, Burnout, and Choosing What Matters --- First published: February 12th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/7qsisgX3cwETJuPNz/our-levels-of-ambition-should-match-the-problems-we-re --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Rory Kennedy discusses her Netflix documentary Queen of Chess, which tells the extraordinary true story of Judit Polgár, one of the greatest chess players in history. Chess has long been considered a male-dominated sport—one where genius is measured quietly and tradition reigns supreme. Judit Polgár shattered those assumptions at an astonishingly young age, defeating world champions, breaking records previously held by Bobby Fischer, and refusing to compete in women-only tournaments. She didn't want to be the best female chess player—she wanted to be the best chess player, period.

According to the unsealed affidavit, witnesses told investigators Michael McKee strangled Monique Tepe during their marriage, forced unwanted sex on her, and told her he could end her life whenever he wanted. She divorced him in 2017 after seven months. No police report. No protective order. She told friends and family she was afraid—then got up every morning and lived her life anyway.What does it cost to function—to work, to fall in love again, to marry Spencer, to raise two children—while knowing someone has promised to kill you? That's the question that doesn't make headlines.Strangulation is one of the most significant predictors of future lethality in domestic violence research. If McKee did what witnesses allege, Monique was statistically in extreme danger from the moment she left. Rob Misleh said publicly the family didn't fully understand the threats were real until it was too late. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why there's so often a gap between what a victim communicates and what the people who love them actually hear—and what eight years of constant threat assessment does to someone psychologically.Scott has spent over thirty years working with survivors of intimate partner violence. She's also a survivor herself—her ex-husband died by revenge suicide after she asked for divorce.Then there's McKee's response to being charged. He pleaded not guilty. Waived his bail hearing but reserved the right to revisit it. Chess move, not surrender. Scott analyzes defendants who treat courtrooms like arenas—not places of accountability, but stages to prove they're smarter than everyone else. Ted Bundy, Scott Peterson, Chris Watts. The theory: the detachment that lets someone sit calmly facing murder charges is the same detachment that allegedly let them pull the trigger.McKee has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #ShavaunScott #DomesticViolence #Strangulation #CoerciveControl #DVSurvivor #ColumbusOhio #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss why play is a powerful yet often overlooked tool for shaping the brain across the entire lifespan, not just during childhood. I explain how play engages specific brain circuits and neurochemicals, allowing us to explore different roles and learn in low-stakes environments uniquely suited to learning. I also describe why adults benefit from deliberately reintroducing play and which forms of play are most effective for expanding cognitive flexibility and creative thinking.
