Three years into Israel's genocide in Gaza, the U.S. government is still targeting pro-Palestine student activists.Even before federal immigration agents descended on communities around the country, killing immigrants and protesters, unmarked agents were abducting students who had voiced criticisms of Israel.Mahmoud Khalil was the first. After federal agents detained him at his alma mater, Columbia University, he spent more than 100 days in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Louisiana. It's been over a year since he was released and returned to live with his family in New York City. The Trump administration is still trying to deport him.“Part of why I'm doing this right now rather than waiting 10 years or 20 years is because what's happening now in ICE detention is a stain on the U.S. conscience,” Khalil tells The Intercept Briefing. “I don't want to look back in 20 years and reckon with what's happening. I want to stop the killing now. I want to stop the disappearances now. I want to stop the cruelty now.”This week on the podcast, Khalil speaks with host Akela Lacy about what he's learned about how he became President Donald Trump's top target, the role Columbia University played in that campaign, and his new book, “No Land to Stand On,” which chronicles Khalil's experience in ICE detention, missing the birth of his first child, his ongoing saga to stay in the U.S. with his family, and more.“It's been so difficult just to have that conversation with my wife Noor about what would happen,” Khalil says. “What are we doing? Is it worth the fight? Should we just leave? But to me, this fight isn't only about whether I get to stay in this country.”“It's about whether anyone — whether they are citizens or non-citizens — are able to speak out against government policies and against the support of Israel in this country. It goes down to a very basic thing: If they are able to deport someone for their views on Palestine, they would be able to deport anyone on their views, whether it is pro-Palestine or pro-Israel or anything.”For more, listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4ywVeOAKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join Hosted on Acast.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Jahr 1613. Noch im jungen geeinten Japan versucht der mächtige Daimyō Date Masamune Handelsbeziehungen mit den Überseegebieten Spaniens aufzubauen. Zu diesem Behuf schickt er eine Gesandtschaft nach Europa, die nicht nur Handel, sondern auch neue christliche Missionare in sein Gebiet bringen sollen. Doch schon bald zeigt sich, dass Spanien wenig Interesse daran hat, die Kontrolle über seine Kolonialgebiete aufzuweichen. Und auch kurz nach Aufbruch der Gesandtschaft wird die Situation für christliche Missionare in Japan immer gefährlicher. Dennoch ziehen Hasekura und sein franziskanischer Begleiter Louis Sotelo jahrelang mit einem Gesuch für Handelsbeziehungen und Missionare durch Europa, und kämpfen dabei vor allem auch gegen die Zeit. // Literatur - Batts, Joshua: Circling the Waters: The Keichō Embassy and Japanese-Spanish Relations in the Early Seventeenth Century.

After being abducted by plainclothes ICE agents from his New York apartment building in March of 2025 and locked away in immigration jail for 104 days, Mahmoud Khalil has been freed and reunited with his family. But Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student who was heavily involved in the student-led justice for Palestine movement, is still being targeted by the Trump administration and still faces the possibility of deportation. In this exclusive interview, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with Khalil to speak about his new book, “No Land to Stand On,” and his continuing fight for freedom and justice.Special thanks to the Parkway Theater in Baltimore, Maryland, and Red Emma's Cooperative Bookstore and Coffeehouse for hosting and helping to facilitate this interview.Post-Production: David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”

We were thrilled to host our good friend Scott Sheffield in advance of his new book, From Tehran to the Permian: Leading the Shale Revolution and My Fight for Energy Independence, publishing on October 6th. Scott's career spans more than four decades, including serving as CEO of Parker & Parsley and later Pioneer Natural Resources, where he helped lead the company through multiple industry cycles and played an important role in the development of the Permian Basin and the U.S. shale revolution. Scott's new book traces that journey from his formative years living in Tehran through his decades in the energy industry, sharing the leadership lessons, challenges, and experiences that shaped him along the way. We were honored to host Scott and hear his reflections on his career and his latest perspectives across the energy landscape. In our conversation, we cover the many lessons and experiences captured in From Tehran to the Permian. Scott shares his perspective on culture and leadership, including his emphasis on mutual respect, accountability, efficiency, and maintaining a family feel as Pioneer grew. He reflects on navigating multiple industry downturns, the importance of maintaining low leverage and financial flexibility, building strong management teams and boards, and learning to listen and empower others. We discuss Pioneer's evolution from its roots in the Spraberry to international exploration and ultimately back to the Permian, as well as Scott's willingness to change strategy as markets and opportunities evolved. We explore the evolution of the broader oil and gas industry, including the maturation of U.S. shale, the opportunities and challenges of international exploration, Scott's long history with Australia and the Beetaloo Basin, and his perspectives on shareholder activism, capital discipline, industry consolidation, and the future of public versus private independents. Scott also reflects on his experiences in Iran and shares his perspectives on Iran and Venezuela, as well as his experience with the FTC following ExxonMobil's acquisition of Pioneer. We touch on today's energy landscape, including Scott's role in helping lift the U.S. crude oil export ban in 2015, his thoughts on the potential implications of restricting diesel exports, and the importance of natural gas infrastructure as power demand grows. Scott also shares observations from his time on the Williams board and the increasingly important intersection of natural gas, power generation, LNG, AI, and data centers. Throughout the conversation, we return to many of the themes that define Scott's career and book: culture, adaptability, financial discipline, great people, and a willingness to listen and evolve. To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted Pioneer Natural Resources' impressive long-term value creation, from its formation in 1997 through its acquisition by ExxonMobil in 2024. Turning to fixed income, he noted that Treasury yields moved higher this week, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising ~10 basis points to ~5.3%, near a 25-year high. Investors are now focused on Wednesday's PCE Price Index report, with a stronger-than-expected reading potentially reinforcing expectations for additional rate hikes. WTI is trading at ~$89/bbl, down ~$4/bbl this week and ~$11/bbl over the past two weeks, driven in part by continued oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and the restart of Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, restoring ~3mmbpd of capacity. Mike noted that a key uncertainty for refined product markets remains whether the Trump Administration will move forward with a temporary diesel export ban. In equities, the DJIA and S&P 500 are both down ~1% this week. With the third quarter drawing to a close, Mike highlighted a significant divergence in sector performance, with Energy up ~15% for the quarter while Utilities declined ~15%. Looking ahead, he noted that further moderation in crude oil and diesel prices could ease inflationary pressures, help stabilize interest rates, and provide a more constructive backdrop for equity markets. Arjun Murti also joined and reflected on knowing Scott from their first meeting during Arjun's time at Goldman Sachs to their more recent work together at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy.

Forget the simplistic advice to just "go to sleep early" or the rigid obsession with hitting an exact eight-hour quota every night. Over-sleeping and weekend "sleep marathons" have quietly evolved into a common yet misunderstood phenomenon—leaving millions waking up with pounding headaches, stiff necks, and a profound sense of brain fog, while mistakenly believing they have recharged their batteries.In this episode, we unpack the counterintuitive science of oversleeping and examine how the popular "more sleep is always better" mindset fails to align with human biology. Drawing on groundbreaking research—including a Columbia University study of nearly 500,000 adults published in a Nature sub-journal—we reveal how sleep duration and biological aging form a distinct U-shaped curve, where sleeping regularly over eight hours can spike overall mortality risk by 40% and accelerate cellular aging just as severely as pulling an all-nighter. We explore the critical medical boundary between normal weekend "sleep debt" recovery and true clinical hypersomnia, while diving deep into the neurological mechanics of the snooze button trap, sleep inertia, fasting-induced glucose crashes, and horizontal blood pooling. Moving from diagnosis to practical intervention, we break down science-backed, actionable morning rituals—from anchoring a fixed wake-up time and making your bed to create a psychological barrier, to leveraging morning sunlight to instantly shut off melatonin. Join our hosts as they look past the clock to unpack the ultimate philosophy of rest: sleep is not a transactional currency to maximize, but a delicate biological rhythm designed to fuel a vibrant, conscious life. Because at the end of the day, true health isn't about escaping into the mattress—it's about getting just enough rest to step into the sunshine and fully experience the world.

Khalil was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria and fled the country at 18. He had a green card to be in the United States, and had become one of the most visible faces of the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, where he had been a graduate student and a negotiator between the protesters and the administration. In 2025, he was arrested by ICE and sent to a detention center in Louisiana. He spoke with Tonya Mosley about the events, the pro-Palestine movement, and his hopes for the future. His memoir is No Land to Stand On.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

What if ninety seconds on a dance floor could do what ten years of therapy couldn't? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Sah D'Simone, a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and bestselling author whose approach to healing was forged through over 300 days of silent meditation, clinical spiritual care training at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, and years of direct service in the margins. Sah is the creator of the Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) Method and founder of the Somatic Dance Institute, and his work has drawn collaborations with Harvard, Columbia, and the UN. They trace Sah's path from meditation teacher to dance mystic: the night in Bali when a trance on the dance floor cracked him open into a full-body recognition of strangers dancing beside him, the year his mother died and everything he'd built around joy fell apart, and why he believes talking about trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame while dancing it moves the charge all the way through. They also get into how Christian missionaries turned the god of dance into the devil, the nuanced difference between chasing pleasure and finding it inside whatever is true, and why no feeling, however big, is the one that finally breaks you. In this episode, Sah explores: Why talking about your trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame, while dancing it moves the charge all the way through The night in Bali when a trance on the dance floor cracked him open into a full-body recognition of strangers he'd apparently known before How Christian missionaries turned Pan, the god of dance and revelry, into the image of the devil The difference between chasing pleasure as an escape and finding the ecstasy inside whatever is true, even rage or grief What his mother's death taught him about prayer, pain, and the limits of visualization A Vipassana retreat gone sideways, and the wave of full-body release that followed once he stopped resisting Opening for a DJ with five minutes' notice, and the closest he has come to a physical experience of the divine on a stage Why no feeling is too big to survive, and what actually makes people exhausted Key Moments: 00:00 – Emily's introduction: from meditation teacher to dance mystic, and why Harvard and Columbia came calling 03:02 – Why the most prestigious universities on the planet are studying his work 05:10 – His mother's death, and the six months of "sanctioned insanity" that followed 07:48 – The Osho line: why a woman dancing is closer to God than a man meditating 08:40 – Why talking about your trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame and victimhood 14:11 – How Christian missionaries turned Pan, the god of dance, into the devil 19:40 – The night in Bali when dance cracked him open into a past-life recognition on the floor 27:06 – 2020, and the moment "the goddess" rewired his entire career overnight 28:00 – "Part rave, part ritual": why the fastest, most industrial beats create the safest place to disappear 30:47 – His pushback on spiritual bypassing in ceremony culture, and Emily's response 40:34 – What his mother's death taught him about pain, prayer, and the edges of joy 42:27 – A Vipassana retreat, "princess and the pea," and the full-body release that followed 44:23 – The Iceland eclipse festival, and opening for a DJ with five minutes' notice 49:31 – The first-ever multi-day festival at the pyramids, and the Egypt eclipse he's building toward in 2027 51:16 – What he'd say to the exhausted parent of three who says they don't have time to dance 54:05 – His one request: dance to a single song, eyes closed 58:04 – A Lakota elder's line: all the suffering on the planet traces back to uncried tears About Sah D'Simone Sah D'Simone is a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and bestselling author of Spiritually Sassy and Spiritually, We.

The so-called “Cockroach” protests that erupted in India this past July grew quickly, gathering around them a number of different activist groups and individuals from various walks of life. These protests were met with tremendous state repression and censorship. Today we speak with Raaz and Sarthak, two student activists and organizers from Delhi, about the broad background to the struggles for education and a decent life, and how the fight has grown to encompass broad sectors of Indian society. Despite the attempts of the State and mainstream media to disappear these protests from the global mediascape, we learn how and why the protests and organizing has continued unabated, and what some of the key goals are.  Along with Raaz and Sarthak, we are joined once more by Suchitra Vijayan, director of the Polis Project and seasoned activist and journalist, who was also there as the protests unfolded.Raaz is a writer-researcher and independent journalist, currently pursuing their LL.B. from Delhi University, India. They are curious about different experiments in anti-fascist resistance, with a special interest in stories of criminalisation, gender, and people's movements. They are currently working with a small team to build a youtube studio / production house, @Krantikhana. They enjoy lofi music, indie animations, and Junji Ito novels.Sarthak is a non-binary filmmaker and journalist from Jamshedpur India. They seek experiential storytelling that is influenced by and derived from our zeitgeist. Their debut feature and core body of work lies at the locus of resistance, art, caste and language creation from the margins. Centering people and their politics, they aspire to re-discover fluidity in meaningful storytelling. They are currently working in an independent news organisation while building their own production house, @krantikhana.Suchitra Vijayan is an author, photographer, curator, and barrister. She is the author of the critically acclaimed Midnight's Borders: A People's History of Modern India and How Long Can the Moon Be Caged? Voices of India's Political Prisoners.

When Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely and Raina Mast aren't going bananas about the Golden State Valkyries, they're teaching kids in San Francisco. In this episode, meet and get to know Vanessa and Raina, cohosts of the Valkyries, Say Less podcast. We begin with Vanessa. Her parents met in San Francisco in 1970. Her mom came here the year before from her home country, France. In her mom's first month in The City, she met the man who became Vanessa's dad. She had just finished photography school back home, and planned to return to France. But fate wanted a word with her. Vanessa's dad grew up on the East Coast. Before he settled on creating stain-glass works, getting to know his own artistic bent, he came to San Francisco to explore that side of himself. He met Vanessa's mom. They were young artists, they were in love, and the rest is history. About a decade later, in 1979, they had a kid—Vanessa, their only child. She talks about being on the cusp between Gen X and Millennial, but considers herself mostly Californian/French. With her parents, Vanessa spent (and still often spends) summers in the French Alps. Both being artists, Vanessa's mom realized that between herself and her husband, one of them needed a job that offered health insurance. And so she went to a temp agency. That allowed her dad to pursue his stained-glass art. He later designed the stained glass in the Mrs. Doubtfire house. A lot of his glass art still exists around North Beach. Vanessa grew up amid all that art here in SF. But at the time, she might not have appreciated it like she does today. Eventually, she moved to New York City for college. She was drawn in by the romantic version of NYC depicted in movies and shows. After her time at Columbia University, Vanessa moved to LA to teach. She always knew she would come home, but wasn't sure when. After 11 years away (four in New York and seven in Los Angeles), she came back. She was 30 and had met the man she would later marry. It was time. Riffing off her seven years of teaching middle school in LA, which she started when she was 22, Vanessa came back and found work with the SFUSD, where she's been since 2008. We go on a sidebar about raising kids in San Francisco, something I didn't do but Vanessa did and wants more people to do. She and her Valkyries, Say Less cohost, Raina, met through a mutual friend. Vanessa's version of their meeting 10 years ago is that they were both invited to a party at that mutual friend's house. Vanessa saw Raina and thought, Damn, that is one cool-looking person. We'll hear Raina's version of that story later in Part 1. We end Vanessa's segment by hearing about her SF schools, a must for born-and-raised folks. She's quick to note that she only went to one school for K through 12—the French-American International School. Then we turn to Raina. They grew up in Pennsylvania Amish country, where they played basketball and ran track. They're from Easton, the town where Crayola crayons are made. Raina says the company would often survey town folks to help name new colors. Easton is 1.5 hours away from both New York City and Philadelphia. Both cities called to them, they say. They lived in New York City, Puerto Rico, and Upstate New York. Then they joined friends on a cross-country road trip, looking for a place to call home. After 13 years of Catholic school, they never really felt like the fit in back home. I ask if, like me, Raina is a recovering Catholic. They say they are fully recovered, in fact. Remarkable, especially for a queer woman. Brava! Being one of five kids in their family, with three brothers, was another challenge. Raina's oldest brother was the artist among them. Eventually, they took another trip across the US. New Orleans tried to grab Raina, and possibly almost did. The other choice was San Francisco, but they didn't move here right away. When it came time to move here, their family was shocked not at all. The first visit happened in 2001. There's a really funny story they share about driving through SF and ending up in Sacramento before they realized it. With no GPS and only paper maps, they circled back and this time, exited off the bridge to San Francisco. A few years later, now pregnant, they started thinking, Where do I wanna raise this kid? That's when SF really drew them in. Their younger brother lived here already, with an apartment in the Marina. There are stories about getting bested by The City's hills and wearing sandals and wondering why they were so cold—classic newcomer to San Francisco stuff. Despite all that, they loved it. In 2014, they made the leap. Since arriving to live here, they've lived in the Mission, the Haight, and nowadays, they call the Richmond home. Before their move here, they applied for art school and teaching fellowships at the same time. The teaching gigs they got offered health insurance and more stability, so they chose that path. Today, they are able to walk parallel paths of art and education. They've taught art, but these days, it's Spanish classes. Going back to their meeting story, Raina and Vanessa are both creative folks who also teach. As creative people with not a lot of money, a DIY mindset set in for them individually and together. It's what propelled and inspired them to start their podcast—Valkyries, Say Less. Vanessa speaks to being on the same "teacher rhythm," meaning time off at the same time, stuff like that. Raina adds that, both being Gen Xers, they grew up without women's sports being what it is today. We end Part 1 with Raina's version of meeting Vanessa, who would later be their podcasting partner. Right away, Raina thought Vanessa was very stylish, mostly owing to her French heritage, as they later learned. In May 2025, channeling Raina's music-recording background, Vanessa's podcasting knowledge (she has a meditation show), and both of their love of women's sports, and with the kickoff of the first WNBA team in The Bay, Valkyries, Say Less was born. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Raina and Vanessa. We recorded this podcast Rikki's Women's Sports Bar in August 2026. Photography by Jeff Hunt

Why do we keep ending up with people who hurt us, even when we swear it won't happen again? I sat down with Dr. Galit Atlas, renowned psychoanalyst, faculty member at NYU's Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis and at Columbia University, and author of the international bestseller Emotional Inheritance, to talk about exactly that. Her new book, Come Closer: Childhood Wounds, Adult Love and the Secrets of Emotional Intimacy, releases the same day this episode airs.We get into Freud's concept of repetition compulsion, why the familiar so often gets mistaken for safety, and why changing a pattern can feel like losing your own identity. Dr. Atlas introduces the different "children" that live inside all of us (the frightened child, the guilty child, the invisible child, and more) and how giving each of them a seat at the table is the real path to change. We also talk about self-abandonment, what it actually means to hold two people in mind during conflict, and why over-functioning is so often a defense against vulnerability.

Recorded live at the AI4 conference in Las Vegas, this conversation puts David Rice and Dr. Lilian Ajayi Ore—AI lead faculty and lecturer in strategic communication at Columbia University and co-author of The Power of the Learning Mindset—in the middle of one of the biggest questions surrounding workplace AI: Are companies gaining efficiency while quietly weakening their people's ability to think? With the energy of a live conference comes some background noise, but the discussion cuts through it.David and Dr. Ore explore cognitive debt, skill decay, and why the usual AI metrics—seats, logins, prompts, adoption rates—say very little about whether workforce capability is actually improving. They discuss the risks of outsourcing judgment and critical thinking, the loss of institutional knowledge when organizations replace people rather than reskill them, and why AI transformation needs to be treated as a talent priority alongside a technology priority. Because faster work isn't much of a win if the people doing it are slowly losing the skills that made them valuable in the first place.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Lilian on LinkedInCheck out Lilian's book — The Power of the Learning Mindset: How the Best Leaders Foster Curiosity, Develop Innovative Teams, and Achieve Exponential GrowthSupport the show

Texas A&M holds a green light rating for its speech policies and still fell from 47th to 192nd in this year's College Free Speech Rankings. Harvard climbed from 245th to 71st without changing a single policy, a sign that how leadership responds to speech controversies matters more than what is written in the handbook. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Sean Stevens, Chief Research Advisor at FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The conversation covers the seventh annual College Free Speech Rankings and why institutions with strong written policies can still see their free speech climate collapse. Stevens, a social psychologist specializing in political psychology and survey methodology, directs the rankings, which this year surveyed students at 261 institutions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. He explains how the rankings score student self-censorship, comfort expressing ideas, political tolerance, and trust in administration, and how deplatforming attempts and punishments of faculty and students can weigh on a school's score for up to five years. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, boards, provosts, and enrollment executives evaluating how their institution will respond to the next campus speech controversy or external pressure to censor. Topics Covered Why a green light policy rating does not protect an institution's free speech ranking How the rankings separate trait-based self-censorship from campus climate How speech controversy penalties are graded by severity and decay over four to five years The corporate HR model of managing speech controversies and the mixed messages it sends Syllabi review, course cancellations, and preemptive compliance with the DEI executive order The impact of the Charlie Kirk assassination on student attitudes toward violence and self-censorship FIRE's upcoming surveys of faculty, international students, and college administrators Real-World Examples Discussed Texas A&M's drop to 192nd after the firing of a senior lecturer and demotion of a dean following a student complaint Texas State University's fall of 147 places to a bottom-three finish Harvard's rise from 245th to 71st with no policy reform, driven by gains in student trust in administration UC Davis posting the largest improvement through policy reform and the decay of past penalties Barnard College and Columbia University moving up from the bottom two spots Dartmouth College and the University of South Carolina changing culture quickly under new leadership Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leadership State the institution's position on free speech and academic freedom clearly, then follow it when a controversy hits. Written policy without enforcement costs more than it protects. Stand up to pressure to censor, whether it comes from campus groups or state and federal government. Student trust in administrative resolve is a scored component that can move within two survey cycles. Build the capacity for difficult conversations through faculty modeling in the classroom and a substantive First Amendment module at student orientation.

Five minutes doesn't sound like enough time to change much. But if you are spending big chunks of your time sitting, thinking, working, or scrolling, getting up for just 5 minutes at regular intervals can change everything. Journalist and broadcaster Manoush Zomorodi has spent years investigating what the digital, sedentary life is doing to us. Three years ago, her Body Electric podcast invited listeners to take part in a Columbia University study, testing what happened when people got up and moved regularly for just five minutes. Now the results are in, and they're the basis for her new book that shows how surprisingly small changes can make a big difference to our bodies and brains from blood pressure to posture, eyesight to productivity. The Book is called Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being.

He discusses his early love of monsters, his years as a documentary filmmaker, and how the landscapes and cultures he experienced helped shape the visual world of Dark Hollow.For writers and aspiring filmmakers, this episode is packed with practical insights, including why a screenplay should be treated as a literary work rather than simply a blueprint, why rewriting continues throughout production and editing, and what Daniel learned from cutting nearly a third of his original film during the editing process.We also explore the realities of independent filmmaking, the challenges of securing distribution, the importance of marketing, and how changes in the streaming industry are affecting filmmakers. Daniel offers thoughtful advice on film school, finding mentors, building a creative community, and why assembling the right team can be just as important as writing a great script.Plus, Daniel shares his approach to a productive writing day, how he handles writer's block, what happens when a real cat refuses to follow directions on set, and his thoughts on the emerging world of vertical filmmaking.Whether you're a screenwriter, an aspiring director, an independent filmmaker, or a horror fan curious about what happens behind the camera, this episode offers an entertaining and insightful look at the creative and business sides of making movies.In this episode, we discuss:Daniel's extraordinary childhood in Rwanda, Nepal, and Appalachia.How his early experiences inspired his love of monsters and horror.The story behind Dark Hollow and its award-winning screenplay.Creating a terrifying creature with practical effects and CGI.Filming in a real coal mine and using virtual production technology.How a screenplay evolves through writing, production, and editing.Why some of the best storytelling happen in scenes that never make the final cut.The challenges of independent film financing, distribution, and marketing.What aspiring screenwriters should know about film school and finding mentors.Why building a strong creative team is essential to filmmaking.The pros and cons of vertical storytelling and short-form content.Daniel's writing routine, creative rituals, and advice for overcoming writer's block.About Daniel ByersDaniel Byers is a screenwriter, director, and filmmaker with a background in documentary filmmaking.

A fortune stands just out of reach, and one beautifully crafted Martian necklace seems capable of removing the only person standing in the way. But a perfect murder requires more than the perfect weapon when someone else knows exactly what that necklace can do. Murderer's Chain by Wenzell Brown. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Adam Hawal rejoins the In Squash Podcast to talk about an exciting new chapter in his squash career after a hugely promising 2025/26 season on the PSA Tour. Adam made a real impression last season, including a memorable 3-1 victory over Paul Coll at the Egyptian Open, while ranked around 250 in the world. He went on to qualify for both the British Open and World Championships, reaching the last 16 at the British Open, as well as making the World Junior Championship final. Now, rather than continuing straight onto the PSA Tour, Adam has taken his talents to Columbia University, beginning his college squash journey in New York. We talk about his decision to take the college route, adjusting to life at Columbia, the differences between the PSA and college environments, and what he hopes to achieve over the coming years. We also look back at some of his recent PSA experiences, including his run to the Maspeth Steel Court final, and get Adam's thoughts on some of the action and storylines we've seen at the Qatar Classic.

This episode unpacks Xi Jinping's high-stakes Washington visit, discussions of “constructive stability,” and tensions over Taiwan, AI, and Iran.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guests: Julian Gewirtz, Senior Research Scholar, Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs Bonny Lin, Director of the China Power Project and Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)   We Discuss: Why Xi Jinping has chosen this moment for his first visit to Washington in a decade, and what his concept of “constructive strategic stability” would actually require of both sides. What President Trump's plan to personally greet Xi at Joint Base Andrews signals about Washington's current view of the relationship. Whether hosting a lavish state visit forty days before the midterms is a political risk for Trump and his party. How Beijing aims to lock in a truce on its own terms, from Taiwan arms sales to the pace of diplomacy. Whether a pending $14 billion arms package and stalled presidential transits are eroding Taiwan's confidence in U.S. support. What a U.S.-China AI dialogue can and can't deliver, and why Dario Amodei's call to “pace the frontier” lands differently in Beijing. How China's purchases of Iranian oil are shaping Iran's resilience, and whether Washington's threats against Chinese banks are credible. What Xi's recent diplomatic tour—and his skipping the UN General Assembly—reveals about the world order Beijing is building.   Mentioned on the Episode: Dario Amodei, “We Must Pace the Frontier,” darioamodei.com Julian Gewirtz, “Is Trump Really Giving Xi a State Visit 40 Days Before the Midterms?” Paper Tiger “Taiwan Relations Act (H.R. 2479),” U.S. Congress   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/trump-rolls-out-the-red-carpet-for-xi   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

What if the biggest threat to kids' mental health isn't smartphones or social media—but the loss of freedom, play, and independence in childhood?In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Emily welcomes researcher Peter Gray, author of Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of Anxiety. Drawing on decades of research in developmental psychology, anthropology, education, and play, Peter challenges some of our most common assumptions about what children need to thrive.Peter explains why play isn't simply recreation—it's how children naturally learn independence, problem-solving, negotiation, courage, and the social skills they'll need throughout their lives. He traces how adults have gradually “colonized” childhood, replacing independent play and exploration with increasingly adult-directed activities, supervision, and schoolwork.Emily and Peter also take on one of today's biggest parenting debates: the role of smartphones and social media in the youth mental health crisis. Peter offers a provocative interpretation of the historical data, including why teen mental health actually improved during the early years of home computers, video games, and online communication—and why he believes increased school pressure deserves far more attention as a contributor to youth anxiety and depression.You'll hear why children need opportunities to solve problems without adults swooping in, how risky play helps kids develop courage, why trust can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and what parents and schools can do to give children more ownership over their lives.Join Emily and Peter for a thought-provoking conversation about what we lose when we try too hard to protect and prepare our kids—and why restoring childhood may require adults to step back so kids can step forward.Listen and Learn:Why play is a biological drive across young mammals—and how it helps children practice the skills they need to become increasingly independentHow self-directed play teaches children to negotiate, compromise, solve problems, consider other people's needs, and navigate conflict without adults stepping inWhy children's freedom to play and explore independently has declined dramatically over the past several decades—and what Peter means by the disappearance of a distinct “culture of childhood”How children's peer cultures once gave kids opportunities to create their own games, norms, language, and social worlds largely outside adult oversightThe surprising mental health trends Peter identifies from 1950 onward, including rising distress during decades when children's independence was decliningWhy Peter believes the arrival of home computers in the 1990s may actually have improved adolescent well-being by giving teens new opportunities for mastery, independence, play, and connection with peersHow early computers created an unusual reversal in expertise, with teenagers often knowing more than their parents—and why that experience of competence may have matteredWhy video games and other forms of pretend or risky play can give children opportunities to experience fear, vulnerability, challenge, and mastery in relatively safe environmentsPeter's critique of the popular claim that smartphones and social media are the primary cause of today's youth mental health crisis, and why he argues the broader research literature does not support such a simple causal storyWhy Peter sees increasing academic pressure and changes in American schooling as an overlooked contributor to rising anxiety, depression, and burnout among young peopleHow schools could become more supportive of mental health by improving school climate, increasing student autonomy, restoring teacher flexibility, protecting recess, and reducing unnecessary academic pressureOne simple question parents can ask children to begin expanding their independence: What would you like to be doing on your own that you aren't doing now?Why shifting from “What am I afraid to let my child do?” toward “What could I encourage my child to do independently?” can help both children and parents build confidenceWhat Peter calls “TAS parenting”—combining trustful and autonomy-supportive parenting by not only trusting children's developing capabilities but actively creating opportunities for them to exercise independenceResources:Peter Gray's book Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of AnxietyPeter's book Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for LifePeter's website: petergray.orgPeter's Substack: Play Makes Us HumanAbout Peter Gray:Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology and neuroscience at Boston College. He has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education. He did his undergraduate study at Columbia University and earned a Ph.D. in biological sciences at Rockefeller University. His current research and writing focus primarily on children's natural ways of learning and the life-long value of play. He has helped found and continues to support nonprofit organizations aimed at bringing more play and independent activity to children's lives. He is the author of an internationally acclaimed college introductory psychology textbook (Psychology, now in its8th edition), which views all of psychology from an evolutionary perspective, and of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life.

Israeli born Shai Davidai, former professor at Columbia University, has written a scathing indictment of antisemitism within North American higher education. In this compelling interview, he shares with Eve Harow his October 7th's brutal awakening and subsequent deep dive into documenting the development of this major threat to free society. One of the most prominent and influential voices calling out campus support for terrorism and rising antisemitism, Shai will not shy away, in any forum, from exposing the radical forces shaping universities and beyond. If you refuse to be intimidated by the ideological extremism attacking the West then read this book to understand how we got here, and perhaps how we can stop the disaster before it's too late.

Jessica Ann Pressler is a Columbia University-trained psychotherapist, hospice grief counselor, author, and mental health advocate with more than four decades of experience helping people navigate trauma, grief, narcissistic abuse, and destructive relationship patterns. She created the Traitor Within framework, host of the Your Traitor Within podcast, and author of The Traitor Within, a fiction novel that uses storytelling to explore the psychological patterns keeping people stuck in unhealthy relationships, careers, and behaviors. On this episode we talk about: How Jessica's early experiences with bullying helped shape her desire to help others Why independence, education, work, and mentorship can be valuable for young people The origins of Jessica's “Traitor Within” framework and her own journey of recognizing repeated patterns How childhood experiences and learned coping mechanisms can influence adult relationships and work Recognizing self-sabotaging behaviors and understanding the triggers behind them The importance of awareness, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and compassion when changing deeply ingrained patterns Whether therapy can become counterproductive when someone feels like they aren't making progress Why understanding your childhood is about learning rather than blaming your parents How compassion and boundaries can coexist in difficult family relationships The role of past experiences in communication and conflict within romantic relationships Why Jessica chose to communicate her psychological concepts through a fiction novel How storytelling can help people learn and recognize themselves without feeling like they are reading a traditional self-help book Top 3 Takeaways Awareness is the first step toward changing self-sabotaging patterns. Jessica explains that recognizing the protective behaviors we developed and understanding what triggers them can help us respond differently in the present. Understanding your past doesn't have to mean blaming anyone. Looking back at childhood and other formative experiences can provide insight into why you behave or react certain ways today. Jessica emphasizes approaching that process with compassion—for yourself and for others. Change requires patience and self-compassion. The patterns that once helped protect us may no longer serve us. Instead of fighting those parts of ourselves, Jessica encourages developing an internal dialogue that acknowledges their original purpose while choosing healthier responses in the present. Notable Quotes "It's the part that's protecting you." "What worked in my childhood is not working now and I need to let it go." "It's not about blaming. It's not about hating."

Data and analytics are worthless without the human judgment required to make sense of them. In this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Cheryl Einhorn, creator of the AREA Method and author of The Human Edge, to unpack how business leaders maintain a competitive advantage in an AI-driven marketplace. Together, they explore the hidden traps of modern decision-making, from noisy data and cognitive biases to the hasty choices driven by demands for speed. Cheryl breaks down why human intuition, critical thinking, and structured evaluation remain indispensable tools for navigating high-stakes business environments. Cheryl outlines the core mechanics of her AREA framework (Absolute, Relative, Exploration, Exploitation, Analysis), offering a clear blueprint to escape analysis paralysis. She introduces practical executive tactics, such as building AI "persona boards" to stress-test ideas, taking strategic "cheetah pauses," and spotting dangerous traps like confirmation and availability bias. Listeners gain actionable methods to audit their thinking, recognize algorithmic blind spots, and apply simple daily checks that expose critical evidence gaps. This discussion equips executives to know precisely when to deploy structured frameworks for high-uncertainty, high-cost choices. Cheryl shares a foundational habit every leader can adopt immediately: frame the core problem and outline explicit goals before ever prompting an AI tool. This single practice ensures technology serves as a powerful amplifier for human strategy rather than a replacement for it. Mastering your decision-making process is the ultimate strategic lever for leaders who want to cut through noise and build resilient organizations. About Our Guest: Cheryl Einhorn is the founder and CEO of Decisive, a decision sciences company that trains people and teams in complex problem solving and decision-making skills using the AREA Method.  AREA is an acronym for an evidence-based decision-making system that uniquely controls for and counters cognitive bias to expand knowledge while improving judgment. Cheryl developed AREA during her two decades as an award-winning investigative journalist writing for publications ranging from The New York Times to Foreign Policy Magazine, Barron's and Harvard Business Review. Cheryl is a long time educator, teaching at Columbia University and at Cornell University's SC Johnson School of Business and Cornell Tech. She is the author of three books: Problem Solved, A Powerful System for Making Complex Decisions with Confidence and Conviction, about personal and professional decision-making, and Investing In Financial Research, A Decision-Making System for Better Results about financial and investment decisions. Her new book about Problem Solver Profiles and the psychology of decision-making, Problem Solver, Maximizing Your Strengths To Make Better Decisions, recently won book awards for best psychology book and creative nonfiction book of 2024. Cheryl is also a contributing editor to several books by Harvard Business Review. Learn more by watching her Ted talk and visiting areamethod.com.

PHIL LESTER, YOU'RE A GENIUS! This week's episode is a little different. This week, Emily and V finally release an episode that has been sitting in our vault for over a year — not because it wasn't good, but because the universe pulled off one of the most chaotic, timeline‑breaking acts of accidental fandom trolling we've ever witnessed.We originally recorded this episode as a thoughtful, slightly exasperated look at Dan & Phil shipping culture — how two creators became the center of one of the internet's most enduring RPF fandoms, how fans blurred the lines between performance and reality, and why it's important to remember the fiction part of Real Person Fiction.We talked about boundaries.We talked about ethics.We talked about how there was no evidence of a real‑life romantic relationship.And then — about 24 hours later — Dan and Phil announced their relationship.Not only that: they announced they had been together since 2009.So not only did reality Joss our episode…It Jossed fifteen years of fandom history with one press release.We took a breath. We texted each other memes of Ben Affleck smoking on a balcony (you know the one), and then shelved the episode until it fit the calendar. And now — finally — it is time.

“What is the sweetest thing in the world?” After co-host Latif Nasser's sons ask him this deceptively simple question, he goes on a quest to find it. Is it a West African Katemfe berry? Or an industrial sugar substitute cooked up in a lab? Or an ingredient hiding in plain sight in all of our pantries? A simple mystery that will make you question what sweetness even is, how our tongues (and other body parts you wouldn't expect) determine what we like, and how far you would go to taste something sweeter than anyone has ever experienced. Thank you to Latif's sons for indulging us, to Nicola Twilley and Cynthia Graber at Gastropod, to Anni Laffitte, Nazli Parvizi at Museum of Food and Drink, to food icons Claire Saffitz and Sam Seneveratne who did a live show version of this episode with us at the Tribeca Festival.

Remember Joseph DiGenova? He was a Trump defender from the first administration brought back to help with the investigation into the investigators that DOJ is running down in south Florida. Well, he's gone again. He seems to have had some disputes with the Attorney General about the conduct of that investigation — “if you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem,” he told the New York Post. Plus: Donald Trump continues to be stymied in his efforts to rename the Kennedy Center after himself — his latest threat is that he'll tear down the building if he doesn't get his way. Former immigration judge Chloe Dillon sues over her firing, Mahmoud Khalil sues,Columbia University, injunctions against ICE and legal victories for people who were fired for saying not-nice things about Charlie Kirk, a lawsuit against Lufthansa, whose employee outed a gay couple in Saudi Arabia — does that create a claim in the United States, where they were flying to? And finally: Kash Patel and bizarrely relaxed hiring metrics at the FBI and a right-wing media figure who resolved defamation litigation with an apology for lying about Patel's girlfriend.

Before Nancy Leighton became a career counselor, she spent six years in retail — including a stint as the hat, glove, and muffler buyer at Brooks Brothers. One class, audited on a whim at the Teachers College of Columbia University, changed everything. Nancy shares what it took to walk away from something stable (against her family's wishes), finish a two-year master's over four years while working full-time, and eventually build a practice she now runs with two counselors under her. Thirty years in, she breaks down what actually helps people find the right career fit — and what to do if you're stuck in your own version of the hat and glove department right now!

Who are you when your role at work changes? Psychologist and author Marisa Franco, PhD rejoins us to discuss her new book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment. We explore self-worth, identity, relationships, and the challenge of becoming someone new. She explains why our sense of worth often becomes attached to achievement and professional identity, and why major transitions such as retirement can shake that foundation. Marisa Franco offers a different approach: develop a sense of worth that isn't dependent on remaining who you've always been. ________________________ Bio An enlightening psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and TED speaker, Dr. Marisa G. Franco is known for digesting and communicating science in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to change their lives. Dr. Franco works as a professor at The University of Maryland and authored the New York Times bestseller Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make – and Keep – Friends and her new book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment. She writes about relationships for Psychology Today and has been a featured connection expert for major publications like The New York Times, The Telegraph, and Vice. Dr. Franco speaks on how to build relationships with yourself and others at corporations, government agencies, non-profits, and universities across the country, including Harper Collins Publishers, Cisco, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and The Department of State. _________________________ For More on Marisa G.

(Highly recommend) Taylor Mali – What Teachers Make (3 minute video) ___________________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Love Self-Compassion – Dr. Kristin Neff Shift – Ethan Kross ___________________________ Wise Quotes  On Contingent Worth “We're very much taught to have a contingent sense of self-worth: I am worthy if… I'm worthy if I have this job. I'm worthy if I'm in this relationship. I'm worthy if I have this financial stability perhaps. And so that contingent self-worth means that when we don't have those things, we no longer feel worthy. What I am proposing is a non-contingent sense of self-worth—a sense of self-worth that is there no matter who you are, no matter what happens to you.” On Identity & Reinvention “What I counterintuitively suggest is to allow yourself to not know yourself. You can allow your sense of self to be fluid in each moment, and you don't have to be who you've always been, but you can still have high regard for yourself. Whoever I am in each moment is okay.” On Possibility Within Loss “If you were to see this loss as an offering in some way, what would make this an offering? Is this giving you more time to spend with your friends? Is it taking you out of a workplace that maybe wasn't working for you? Is it allowing you more time to engage in an interest or passion that you've always wanted to engage in?” _______________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

I'm talking with developmental psychologist Dr. Peter Gray about his new book, Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of Anxiety, which challenges one of the dominant narratives about the youth mental health crisis: that smartphones and social media are largely to blame for the rise in anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges among kids. Peter argues that this picture is incomplete, and that when we look more closely at the data and at what has changed in childhood over the past several decades, a very different story emerges.  So today we dig into what Peter believes we're missing when we focus so much attention on screens, including the rise of intensive parenting and overprotection, the loss of independence and free play, and especially the increasingly stressful and demanding role that school plays in children's lives. We also talk about why kids need unstructured time, autonomy, and opportunities to take age-appropriate risks, and Peter shares practical ideas for giving our kids more freedom to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of agency. ​ About Dr. Peter Gray  Dr. Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology and neuroscience at Boston College. He has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education. He did his undergraduate study at Columbia University and earned a Ph.D. in biological sciences at Rockefeller University. His current research and writing focus primarily on children's natural ways of learning and the life-long value of play. He has helped found and continues to support nonprofit organizations aimed at bringing more play and independent activity to children's lives.He is the author of an internationally acclaimed college introductory psychology textbook (Psychology, now in its 8th edition), which views all of psychology from an evolutionary perspective, and of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life. Things you'll learn from this episode  How Peter Gray defines childhood as a gradual process of growing independence, autonomy, and responsibility Why the rise of intensive parenting and overprotection has reduced kids' freedom and may be contributing to increased stress and anxiety How Common Core and increasingly demanding, high-pressure school environments have fundamentally changed children's experience of childhood Why Peter argues that school pressure and the loss of independence may be bigger drivers of the youth mental health crisis than smartphones and social media How free play, self-directed activity, and opportunities to take age-appropriate risks build confidence, resilience, and agency What parents can do to give kids more freedom, independence, and control over their own lives Resources mentioned Dr. Peter Gray's website Dr. Peter Gray's Substack Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of Anxiety by Dr. Peter Gray Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life by Dr. Peter Gray A Historic Settlement Over Social Media Addiction (The Daily podcast) Let Grow   Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

In this episode, host Michael Taft speaks with meditation teacher Loch Kelly about what comes after the first glimpse. They distinguish "waking up"—recognizing openness, stillness, the absence of a separate self—from "waking with," in which appearances are seen as inseparable from awake awareness, or what is called "one taste." The conversation covers flow states as a natural portal to awake awareness in action, why direct pointing is safer than deconstructive mindfulness retreats that leave people flooded, the traditional reasons awareness gets missed (too close, too simple, too good to be true), the difference between awakening and liberation, and how Internal Family Systems pairs surprisingly well with pointing-out instructions. Loch also leads a guided practice, the Problem-Solver Glimpse.Loch Kelly is an author, licensed psychotherapist, and recognized leader in the field of meditation and awakening. He is the founder of the nonprofit Effortless Mindfulness Institute and has worked in community mental health, established homeless shelters and counseled family members of 9/11 victims.Loch graduated from Columbia University and received a fellowship to study in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. Loch has collaborated with neuroscientists at Yale, UPenn and NYU in the study of how awareness training can enhance compassion and wellbeing. His teachings are informed by Buddhist nondual meditation, psychology, and neuroscience.Loch Kelly's websiteYou can support the creation of future episodes of this podcast by contributing through Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're sharing an episode Jonathan Cohen appeared on that we think you'll love. Jonathan joined the Phenomena Podcast to help close out its season on energy healing and we wanted to bring that conversation to you!What is “energy” in energy healing? Every healer in this series uses the word. Every patient reaches for it. Ancient healing traditions built entire systems around it and modern researchers are striving to study it.But what is energy biologically, physically, measurably and how does it move through the body to influence health and healing? In this episode, three renowned scientists offer remarkable visions that, taken together, start to answer this question.Martin Picard, PhD, of Columbia University has spent his career studying mitochondria, the body's cellular power sources, and has found them far more connected to our inner experiences, our consciousness, than biomedicine ever assumed, and likely far more central to how we heal.Richard Hammerschlag, PhD, co-authored the paper that helped define the modern science of the biofield: the organizing fields of energy and information that operate within the body and extend outward from it. Like the nested Qi fields of older traditions, these are dynamic interrelating layers — energy running all the way in and likely all the way out.Neil Theise, MD, of NYU helped identify the interstitium, a remarkable recent major discovery of a fluid-filled network running throughout the body. Consistent with the intuitions of ancient healing systems, it may help explain how signals fundamental to health and healing actually travel, a new communication network in the body previously overlooked by modern medicine.Together, these three voices present a compelling, eye-opening, and deeply human vision of the body and mind not as a machine, but as a dynamic energetic ecosystem.
