Podcasts about collaborating

The podcast crossover event no one was expecting is here. The Doughboys, Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger, arrive on Comic Book Couples Counseling ready to examine their feelings and suss out why they've propelled their podcast life into comic book form. Collaborating with writer Alex Firer, artist Fred C. Stresing, and colorist Meg Casey, Mitch and Wiger boil down their obsession with fast food and chain restaurants into a delicious four-color stew. It's a six-issue series called Doughboys: The Comic Book - Mitch and Wiger Chew America - Crisis on Infinite Girths. Everything you need to know about the vibe is right there in the title. The book is comic book-y, and a Where's Waldoquest for Wednesday warriors, as well as longtime fans of the podcast. You can nab the first issue here. For ten years, Mitch and Wiger have met weekly to battle it out over Red Lobster, Steak n Shake, and Taco Bell, usually inviting fellow comedy maniacs like Jon Gabrus or Lauren Lapkus to weigh in. The Doughboys comic book operates in a similar fashion, but cranks everything to eleven. Demonic and heavenly forces are at play here, friends. We return from New York Comic Con with the perfect episode. We discuss with Mitch and Wiger what drew them to comics, what they've learned about themselves while spending years talking about food, and how insignificant you can feel when sitting in a football stadium or the New York Javits Center. Make sure you're following the Doughboys on your favorite podcast app, or just click here. You can also follow them on Blue Sky and Instagram.

Have you ever struggled to be understood? Matt Maxey spent most of his childhood trying to fit into the hearing world. He went to speech therapy, avoided sign language, and thought leaving Deaf culture behind was the only way to succeed. But when he showed up at Gallaudet University — the country's only Deaf university — he suddenly found himself in a place where everyone expected him to use ASL, a language he didn't even know, and many labelled him as an outsider. Instead of giving up, Matt flipped that struggle into his purpose. He went from resisting sign language to becoming one of the most well-known ASL music interpreters in the world. As the founder of DEAFinitely Dope, he's brought hip-hop to Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, toured with Chance the Rapper, and even interpreted at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show with Kendrick Lamar.

Is the "best" hospital just about technology and surgical success? Ben Harder, the journalist who oversees the methodology and data for the U.S. News Best Children's Hospitals Rankings (2025), joins Katie to break down what truly defines quality in pediatric care. Ben shares his deeply personal family story—a tragedy 50 years in the past that drives his commitment to making data-driven information accessible today. This episode is a crucial guide for parents, explaining the three core pillars of the rankings: structure/resources, processes of care, and patient outcomes. We dive into why essential human-focused services like Child Life Specialists, chaplains, and family advisory boards are included in the scorecard and how they influence the rankings. Ben illuminates the challenge faced by these vital "cost centers" in a revenue-driven healthcare system, and offers a powerful message: parents are the strongest possible advocates for their children, and they should use every resource available—including the U.S. News data—to make informed, collaborative choices for their child's care team. Guest Links U.S. News Best Children's Hospitals Rankings: All data is freely available for families to research hospitals by region and specialty. Website: US News Press Release Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways The Personal Motivation: Ben shares the heartbreaking story of his cousin, whose permanent brain injury after a heart surgery complication 50 years ago lacked the complete care team needed to ensure a good outcome—a void the U.S. News data is designed to fill today. The Three Pillars of Ranking: US News analyzes over 1,000 data points grouped into: 1) Resources/Structure (nurses, expertise, technology, child life services), 2) Processes of Care (following best practices, infection control), and 3) Outcomes (survival, length of stay, quality of life). The Honor Roll: The 2025 Honor Roll features the top 10 hospitals recognized for high performance across multiple specialties, including: Boston Children's Hospital, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Cincinnati Children's, Texas Children's Hospital, and others. A Piece of the Puzzle: The rankings are one resource to use alongside insurance coverage, geographic location, and most importantly, consulting your child's doctors and trusting your parental intuition. The Value of Human Support: Services like Child Life Specialists, support groups, and family advisory boards are included in the structural data points, serving as a motivator for hospitals to invest in comprehensive, family-centered care. Advocacy is Essential: Ben gives parents permission to advocate relentlessly, reminding them they know their child best. Collaborating with—not simply questioning—the care team can be life-saving.

In episode 163, I sit down with Jack Carr — veteran, bestselling author, and screenwriter — to talk about Cry Havoc, his latest addition to The Terminal List series of novels and the evolving journey from page to screen. Our conversation dives into how Jack's relentless world building isn't just about crafting thrillers; it's about intentionally seeding story elements that let him explore multiple generations and secret corners of the narratives he creates as both a novelist and as a showrunner. If you're driven to tell stories at the highest levels, every decision is an opportunity to lay groundwork for future storytelling, and no detail is too small if it sets the stage for new layers of exploration. Jack and I talk about the differences between writing for the screen and for the page and discuss how living as both a screenwriter and an author challenges and grows his craft. Collaborating with a creative team to build a TV series from a book is a radically different experience than solo writing, but mastering one makes him sharper and more flexible in the other, ultimately enriching character development, authenticity, and the stories themselves. We talk about the accountability that comes with a passionate fanbase, the reward of honoring veterans by getting the details right, and how creating in both worlds — the page and the screen — lets us explore the deepest truths in the universe we build.

Mike and Kevin sit down with Rob Pincus to unpack two hot buttons that get thrown around online but are rarely explored with nuance: the “firearms are the #1 cause of death in youth” stat, and ERPOs/red flag laws. Rob shares what he sees inside a Tufts University led  group that puts gun-rights and gun-control advocates in the same room to hammer out policy ideas for red states. We dig into how stats are framed, why education belongs in schools, what meaningful “wins” for responsible owners might look like, and where ERPO conversations go off the rails without mental-health guardrails or due-process realities.In this episodeWhy that viral “#1 cause of death in youth” headline needs real breakdowns by age, suicide, and community violenceWhat a practical, developmentally appropriate firearms education curriculum could cover in schoolsERPOs done wrong vs. ERPOs with mandatory mental-health evaluation, cultural competency, and penalties for malicious usePolicy “wins” Rob is pushing, including tax incentives for training and safe storage, removing redundant state laws tied to federal regs, and pathways to restore rights for non-violent offensesThe big idea: be in the room, reduce negative outcomes, protect responsible ownersIf you got value from this one, follow the show, rate it, and share it with a friend who cares about firearms and mental health.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Technical Glitches00:39 Rob Pincus: A Multifaceted Contributor02:26 Understanding Misconceptions in the Firearms Industry05:07 Collaborating with Gun Control Advocates10:56 The Importance of Being in the Room16:33 Navigating Emotional Discussions Around Firearms22:01 Statistics and Their Manipulation27:50 Addressing Youth Firearm Deaths33:16 The Role of Education in Firearm Safety39:14 Concluding Thoughts on Firearm Discussions45:30 Understanding Perspectives on Gun Control48:30 The Debate on Gun Safety Terminology51:03 Education and Youth Involvement in Gun Safety54:51 Navigating Mental Health and Gun Ownership58:41 Proposals for Emergency Restraining Orders01:04:11 Exploring the Future of Gun Legislation01:19:01 Celebrating Wins in Gun Rights AdvocacySend us a text Walk the Talk America would like to thank our partners who make these conversations possible and want to highlight our top two partner tiers below!

Episode SummarySaxophonist, composer, and theater-maker Idris Ackamoor joins us to talk about Afrofuturism, ensemble storytelling, and why his performances are designed as communal happenings—part ritual, part dance-floor communion. We get into the craft behind his “artistic being” approach, the power of spoken word in jazz contexts, and how rhythm, memory, and movement drive his music.Idris Ackamoor is a Chicago-born, Bay Area–based bandleader and co-founder of Cultural Odyssey and The Pyramids. A pioneering voice in Afrofuturist jazz, his work blends West African rhythmic foundations with improvisation, theater, and multimedia staging.How he defines an “artistic being” and turns daily practice into finished compositionsThe Pyramids as an ensemble for theater, dance, and groove—music that moves people (literally)Collaborating with spoken-word icons Danny Glover and Rhodessa Jones and writing for distinctive voices“The Grandma Cole Story”: turning family memory into melody, rhythm, and testimonyAfrofuturism as compass: studies and travels that shaped his sound and stagecraftProtest music built for the body and the mind—clarity, groove, and human perspective (“Police Dem”)Set design like cinema: seamless transitions, projection, and audience participationLegacy and ownership: why preserving masters and publishing matters to the art“I call myself an artistic being… sometimes a melody appears on the piano, sometimes on the horn—I follow it until it grows.”“When you hear me play, I want you to know it's me and no one else.”“This is about participation—breaking down the wall—so the audience becomes part of the experience.”“I get to the meat of it through the human perspective.

When I think about the shops that inspire me most, it's the ones that balance cutting-edge technology with a deep investment in people. That's exactly why I loved sitting down with Steve and Eric Van Orden of Paramount Machine in Salt Lake City, Utah. Steve started Paramount back in 1995 with nothing more than a manual mill and a garage shop. Fast forward nearly three decades, and the company has grown into a 75-person operation with more than 30 machines, including palletized horizontals, multi-spindle lathes, and 5-axis mills. What impressed me most, though, wasn't the equipment—it was the culture they've built. Both Steve and Eric share how Paramount has become a place where careers are built, young machinists thrive, and innovation is driven by a team that truly feels ownership in the business. With 35% of their workforce under 30 and several families working side by side, it's clear this is more than just a machine shop—it's a community. In our conversation, we dig into the early days of Paramount, the lessons learned along the way, and the practical strategies they're using now to keep growing in a space- and talent-constrained world. Most of all, we explore what it takes to build a business that can make a lasting impact—on people, families, and future generations. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

What does it take to bring true innovation into one of the world's most risk-averse industries? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd and Ryan unpack how to move from breakthrough technology to real-world adoption. The discussion explores why being honest about where you really are matters more than hype, how simplicity often beats complexity, and why economics ultimately drive scalability. If you've ever wondered how sustainable solutions can shift from pilot projects to global impact, this conversation delivers a grounded look at making change stick. Ryan shares insights on the significance of cement in climate change, the evolution of tech adoption in the industry, and the future of construction. He emphasizes the need for collaboration with traditional cement producers and the importance of financial mechanisms to support innovation.   MEET OUR GUEST Ryan Gilliam is co-founder and CEO of Fortera, a low-carbon cement manufacturer focused on paving the way to zero CO2 cement. Gilliam is a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated his career to solving climate issues. Specifically, Gilliam has focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like cement, energy, and petrochemicals. He has over 100 granted patents focused on electrochemical, chemical, and materials technologies for the beneficial reuse of carbon emissions, green hydrogen production, and more environmentally friendly chemical manufacturing. In addition to his role at Fortera, Gilliam also serves on the Board of Directors of Verdagy, a company he founded that is innovating advanced electrolysis technology for the large-scale production of green hydrogen.   TODD TAKES Be Honest About Where You Really Are True innovation starts with being brutally honest about your current reality. Don't oversell the data or the promise—know exactly where you stand and what's realistically possible. Grounded in Reality Beats Cool Tech Shiny technology isn't enough. What actually gets adopted is what's practical, scalable, and simple to integrate. Sometimes the smartest move is choosing simplicity over complexity. Economics Drive Scalability Change doesn't scale because it's exciting—it scales because the economics work. For any new process or product to truly take off, it has to compete on cost as much as on performance.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Sustainable Cement Innovation 00:54 Ryan's Journey into Climate Sustainability 02:36 Lessons Learned from Early Ventures 04:42 Navigating Risk Aversion in the Cement Industry 06:43 The Importance of Cement in Climate Change 08:50 Transforming Ideas into Reality 11:00 Collaborating with Traditional Cement Producers 12:38 Simplifying Technology for Adoption 16:05 Balancing Innovation and Practicality 17:27 Key Levers for Low Carbon Cement Adoption 19:17 Evolution of Mindset in Tech Adoption 20:49 Future of Construction and Cement 23:02 Myths Surrounding Cement Adoption 24:15 Advice for Innovators in Risk-Averse Industries 26:02 Defining Innovation and Its Impact 28:06 The Need for Financial Mechanisms in Innovation   MORE RESOURCES  Thanks for listening!
