Author and Educator Neil Rosen joins us for a delightful discussion about reading. He is the children's book author found on Amazon and known by his readers as “Professor Stork”. You can find out why at the end of the interview. Neil joins us to celebrate his upcoming book called REDISCOVERING THE VILLAGE:Classic Strategies To Help Children Develop A Lifelong Love Of Learning, which he co-authored back in the 1960's and 1970's with Gail Simpson. Come August, it will probably be the last book from that time to be finally published. Neil's message is simple: parents should spend more quality time with their students (kids) and make sure that time includes the outdoors.

It's that time of year again! The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling off, and students are returning to school. For many of us, that also means our schedules are getting much busier. If you're like me, you're knee-deep in figuring out how to manage your time and keep everything straight. Managing your time can be challenging, especially when you have a lot of different commitments. But you can do some simple things to make the process a bit easier. It can be easy to forget that as an entrepreneur, we are in control of our schedule. When we start our own business, we expect that we will have more free time and flexibility in our lives. However, it is easy to fall into the trap of working all the time, feeling like we have no control over our time. The reality is that as the boss, we can figure out how many hours we want to work, how much we want to charge, and what comes first. If we struggle to manage our time, this episode was meant to give us an idea of how we can do things differently. As entrepreneurs, it is essential to remember that we are in control of our schedules and can create the lives we want for ourselves. Thanks for listening! Must-listen Moments: [01:32] I'll tell you a little bit about how I'm currently struggling, and I will, if nothing else, I hope in part to you that this is just the reality of being an entrepreneur, of being a parent, or maybe just being a human being. Right. So we're going to give ourselves a lot of space and understanding as we transition from one season to the next. [08:26 ] Come August seven, When kids are back in school and in school for 6 hours at a time. The amount of flexibility and freedom I have for just managing other people goes down significantly. So here's my plan to navigate things around me. [10:27] As an entrepreneur and a parent, I can say that “make it work!” in a way that means it feels good that you're working the amount that you want to be working without overworking, without killing yourself.

I'd never been to anywhere in Japan more south than Kobe until very recently. I finally got a chance to go to Hiroshima for the purpose of filming a wakeboarding tournament taking place there. Come August our studio is filming a major tournament in Kyushu so this was a great opportunity to see what the realities on the ground were for filming this kind of content. Being there gave us a chance to go to the war memorial museum which remembers the tragedy of the nuclear bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. It was a challenging and useful experience, totally unique. I thought I knew how I felt regarding the bombing. This gave a much clearer reflection for me to consider my thoughts regarding it.

MHSAA Executive Director Mark Uyl joined the Huge Show with the latest plan for fall High School sports in Michigan. Mark filled us in on their decision to push back padded football practice and explained what this means for how things will play out. He also let us know how coaches will be able work with kids, the equipment the athletes will be allowed to wear, and much more. Come August 20, Mark and his team will evaluate how the high schools handled practices. From there, the MHSAA will set certain guidelines in place to start the competitive fall sports season. Huge asked the audience how they feel about sending their kids back to school this fall and if they're comfortable with their child participating in sports. Huge continued the discussion about how the high school sports fall season will look for student athletes. We took your comments on if you would send you child back to play fall sports or not. Then we wanted to take a look at what some of the colleges in the state are doing in this point in time as it pertains to football. Ferris State Bulldogs Head Coach Tony Annese joined us in our first segment to give us an update. We were then joined by Grand Valley Lakers Head Coach Matt Mitchell for his take on how things are being handled as well. In our final hour we wanted to replay the conversation from the start of the show with MHSAA Executive Director Mark Uyl. We wrapped up by reading your texts and taking your calls about the Huge question of the day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Question to Dennis Wicker and Becki Gray – Come August 1 high school football teams typically suit up to begin practice for the fall season but there are big question marks. If students aren’t in schools there are questions whether sports should be allowed. And UNC just found out that 37 of their players, coaches and staff have tested positive for COVID-19. What’s your spin? Should high schools and colleges play football this year?
Today's guest is Alyson Beland. Alyson is a career coach here at the Purdue CCO. As a career coach, she advises students and alumni on a variety of career development and job search strategies. Alyson is on the show today because we are discussing how to make the most of your summer in terms of professional development and career fair prep. Come August, those fall career fairs will sneak up on us quicker than we realize, and we need to make sure we have our resumes, letters of rec, and interview confidence ready to go! And for those who have summer internships, Alyson will be giving advice on how to make the most out of your opportunity, how to network with your company, and what skills you should specifically be expecting to grow in. Without further ado, here's my conversation with Alyson.
Since 2014, the faculty and staff of the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine have been developing a new medical school curriculum called the “Pathways to Health and Wellness Curriculum.” Its design is revolutionary and may lead the way for other medical schools to follow. Come August, gone will be the big auditorium lectures. Instead, greater emphasis will be placed on individual and independent studies through the use of a “flipped classroom approach.” “Students will learn interactively through working collaboratively on 16 weeklong patient cases per semester. Students will work in teams along with appropriate faculty,” says Dr. Kenneth Johnson, the executive dean of the Heritage College and the chief medical affairs officer for Ohio University. Students will prepare for classroom learning sessions through self-directed study including access to recorded mini-lecture and modules,” explains Dr. Jody Gerome, the new associate dean of curriculum. “The different aspects of medicine, clinical, biomedical, and social, are woven naturally into patient cases, rather than taught as separate academic silos,” Dr. Gerome adds. Likewise, the program will examine the students’ knowledge more often than the formerly once-a-semester exam. Tests will be given more frequently to make sure the student is keeping up and absorbing the material that is required. During each semester, students and faculty both will have “protected time” for maintaining their own personal wellness and each student will be assigned a faculty mentor for all four years of study. The health and wellness of the patients and the physicians both are in balance under this new plan, says Dr. Johnson. “The first two years of study will be divided into four 16 week semesters covering wellness, acute illness, chronic illness and return to wellness,” says Dr. Gerome. “The changes we are making are designed to convey training in a way that is more aligned with today’s evolving best practices in care delivery, to improve the care provided to our patients and communities and for formalize our commitment to the personal wellness of our students during medical school and beyond,” Dr. Johnson explains. “Health care has to change, and the college needs to adapt its curriculum so it can continue to train doctors who can not only thrive in the changing health care environment, but help lead that changes to improve the quality of care to our patients and communities.” Dr. Johnson has been dean of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine since 2012. Dr. Gerome is a 2005 alumna of the college. She is a practicing physician and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology.
“I think a lot of people look at ‘happiness' as a decision and I look at it as how I choose to live my life — doing things that make me happy with the people that make me happy.”Jesse ItzlerIt's easy to take risks when your back is against the wall.But it's the rare individual that will continue to push the envelope, face fear and embrace the unknown when that person could choose to live without self-imposed obstacles.Jesse Itzler is one such human.After a barnburner appearance on the podcast back in 2015 (check RRP #197 if you missed it), the man who lives so far “out of the box” that there is no box returns for another stellar exchange that does not disappoint.For those new to the show, this is a guy who fast-talked his way right out of college into a recording contract, ultimately taking his music all the way to MTV, the Billboard 100 and even an Emmy.Jesse then takes a wild entrepreneurial left-turn, creating and ultimately selling big companies like Marquis Jet, the world’s largest prepaid private jet card company, and Zico Coconut Water, before wooing Spanx founder (and Shark Tank guest host) Sarah Blakely all the way to the altar.Despite his tremendous success as a serial entrepreneur, Jesse started to feel his life stagnate. Desperate to avoid the malaise of risk adversity visited upon many a prosperous peer, he embarks on a hare-brained scheme to invite adventure back into his life by convincing Navy SEAL David Goggins — the most popular episode in the history of this show — to move in with him. David relents on one condition: that Jesse comply with David's every demand, no matter how severe. The insanity that ensues is hilariously chronicled in Living With A SEAL, Jesse's well deserved New York Times bestseller.He eats only fruit before noon. He runs 100 mile races. He raises millions for charity. And when he isn't playing super dad to his four kids (check his Instagram stories for daily dad episodes), he's an in demand motivational speaker (check out his TEDx Talk) who just happens to own the Atlanta Hawks NBA franchise with a few friends. No biggie.So the question is: how does this guy have such an extraordinary life?Jesse boils it down to one singular mission statement:Live life full blast. Never be afraid to fail. And never, ever allow yourself to stagnate.In an effort to cultivate community around this ethos, Jesse recently launched Made of Challenges, a series of totally unique, end-to-end weekend experiences that are one part wellness retreat (complete with glamping tents and world-class speakers), one part next-level athletic challenge. Come August is Made of Denali, which entails jogging, hiking or crawling up a mountain in Utah, taking a gondola down, and repeating nine times until you have climbed 20,310 vertical feet — the equivalent of Mt. Denali, the highest peak in North America.In addition, Jesse has a new book coming out this week. An inward-facing sequel to his Goggins-fueled physical escapades, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Drums of Autumn Chapters 14-15 Week 9 “Into the Backcountry” Summary: With much haste, they leave Cross Creek by night to take Pollyanne to safety. They ride until dawn. Claire learns a new method of tick removal. They come across a spooky abandoned Indian village. They make camp near a stream. Myers tells the story of the Tuscarora. Claire hopes Pollyanne will be accepted by the Indians. Myers and Young Ian part with Jamie and Claire to take Pollyanne north. Jamie and Claire head southwest to survey the offered lands. Jamie fights and kills a bear. Claire tends his wounds. They become acquainted with three native hunters. Inside the Chapters: Part Five: Strawberry Fields Forever Chapter 14: Flee from Wrath to Come August 1767 Pollyanne had been hiding in a tobacco shed on the edge of Farquard Campbell's property. Claire notes the lavender sky and the ghostly nature of the woman as she exited the building cloaked. Pollyanne is frightened of the horse and refuses to take the reins. Claire offers to have the woman ride with her, so she feels safer. It's difficult to swap her to Claire's horse, but eventually, they get it done. The poor woman is terrified. She clings tightly to Claire. The woman shivers behind Claire as if chilled. Poor sweetie. She's new from Africa, and now she's to be given to the Indians (Native Americans) for her safety. The appearance of Rollo adds another dimension of fear for Pollyanne and Claire's horse (p277, Nook). Claire and Jamie try to determine if she understands where they are taking her. Not knowing what tongue she might understand, Jamie reaches out, squeezes her foot, and says freedom. This she understands and sighs in relief. (1:20) Myer's leads them in an unspoken urgency. Pollyanne is becoming accustomed to the riding and feeling less afraid. She even dozes, leaning onto Claire's shoulder occasionally. Claire is tired and being lulled by the sound of the horse's hooves and the forest surrounding them (p279, Nook). At dawn, they stopped to rest during the light and heat of the day. They woke covered in ticks. Though Claire, as usual, doesn't attract the appetite of the 18th-century bugs. She did, however, carefully checks Jamie and everyone else after they slept. Pollyanne has a different method of tick removal (p280, Nook). The seeds she chewed are called paw-paw and are toxic if swallowed. Pollyanne's stature reminds Claire of African fertility images. After dinner, Pollyanne is willing to ride on her own. She is more comfortable with Claire and excitedly communicates the best she can. Claire understands her better than she understands Claire. Apparently, Claire isn't so skilled with body language communication. They enter a clearing with grassy mounds. Pollyanne is disquieted. She believes this place is evil. Myers explains this place likely used to be a Tuscarora village. He isn't sure what happened. Illness or warfare could be the culprit. They rode on. They are climbing higher into the mountains. The landscape changes to chestnut trees, oak, hickory, dogwood, persimmon, chinkapin, and poplar. The air is lighter and fresher. They have left the smothering heat and humidity of the lowlands. Claire is connecting with nature with every joyous breath. On the sixth day, they are deep into the mountains when they come across a large waterfall. Young Ian is surprised to hear Myers say it's not the biggest one he's ever seen. They camped near a stream hoping for a dinner of fresh trout. Pollyanne brings a bucket of water to make a batch of corn dodgers. They are delicious when fresh and edible for a few days though they lose flavor. Pollyanne is not her normal exuberant self. This is the last night they are all together. Myers will take her into the Indian territory the next day. Maybe she is worried about her uncertain future. Pollyanne makes the batter; Claire tends the fire, Myers goes to smoke a pipe, while Jamie and Young Ian continue fishing. Claire wonders what type of place Pollyanne is from and what things could be going through her mind. It's a great unknown. Rollo joins them by the fire. He noses both Claire and Pollyanne. Pollyanne is not wanting his attentions, turns and spit in his eye (p285, Nook). The corn dodgers are cooking, filling the area with comforting smells. The fire seems a place of refuge in this wild place. She wonders if the fire had held back jungle darkness protecting Pollyanne and her people from leopards. Was it comfort in her land or just an illusion of safety? It had to be an illusion since she was taken and brought to the Colonies. Claire dared not ask. The fishing is very good. Jamie and Young Ian are ecstatic for their catches (p285, Nook). The mere mention of Indians by Myers has Young Ian asking questions. The conversation turns to the abandoned village they'd passed through earlier. Myers explains about the Tuscarora War from forty years earlier. The result was a devastation to the Tuscarora nation with only seven villages left. The Mohawk had adopted the Tuscarora, or they would have been completely wiped out. This helped the Tuscarora because they were allowed entrance into the Iroquois League. Jamie wants to know why the fierce Mohawk would want to adopt an ailing tribe (p287, Nook). Myers explains further how the Indians cannot hold their drink. Even the first drop is too much for them. Also, their numbers need replacing, so with their similar languages, the Mohawk took in the Tuscarora. These are the people Myers means to have Pollyanne adopted to as their own. Claire asks if the Tuscarora have seen a black woman before. He thinks there are many who've never seen a white person before. He thinks they will like her just fine (p289, Nook). Claire and Jamie aren't sure if this exchange would be a good thing or not. They have eye conversation about it. Jamie speaks up and puts a hand on Myers (p289, Nook). Young Ian jumps in and says he's going with Mr. Myers to the Indian village. He told him. He didn't ask for permission. The clever boy knows Jamie can't say it's too dangerous or why are they taking a woman and leaving her there? The mating ritual is in full swing between Myers and Pollyanne. Without words, she blatantly invites him to bed with her. As they all bed down for the night, Claire wonders if she would do differently? If she was dependent upon a man to get her to safety, would she not do anything to ensure he protected her? When a snapping sound alarms Jamie to take his hand from under Claire's shirt, then replace it with a squeeze of her breast knowing there's no danger, no difference at all. Her future isn't certain either, and she depended upon Jamie, a man bound to her in part by a desire for her body. She describes the cool night, the wind, and the sky. Ultimately, there were differences between her dependency on Jamie and Pollyanne being with Myers. She and Jamie were bonded beyond the flesh, and above all simply for the fact that she had chosen to be there. Chapter 15: Noble Savages After making plans to meet in ten days' time, Jamie and Claire turned southwest, while Myers, Young Ian, and Pollyanne turned to the north. Claire takes in the vastness of this place. Beautiful, rich, and wild. Claire said nothing to Jamie about her worries about anyone being able to live in such a place. She simply followed along behind him. When something new is going to happen, her thoughts are often filled with all the what ifs, the things she's scared of before she comes to a sense of okay. She must allow the chaos and worry to make itself known before settling into the certainty of a decision. They make camp near a stream. It's twilight. The fireflies are out. Jamie loves this time of day. It's when he would leave the cave after Culloden (p292, Nook). Claire remembers Father Anselm from the Abbey. He always said there was a time of day when time seemed to stop. He thought it could be the hour one was born. Jamie thinks the Father is right (p292, Nook). Claire doesn't know the hour of her birth. It wasn't written on her birth certificate. She knows when Brianna was born though, 3:03 a.m. Jamie is surprised to learn Claire was awake for the birth because she had told him of twilight sleep (p293, Nook). After hearing this, Jamie explains all the ways he's almost died; he'd be okay dying in his sleep, in bed next to her when he was very old. Jamie tended to the fire while Claire went fishing. It was dark when she returned with the gutted fish. She asks Jamie what he thinks it's like to die (p294, Nook). Jamie set to cook the fish. Claire thinks about the hours she has sat where time stops. It's peaceful without a name. If death lies there, she'd be okay with it. Her eyes were closed; she feels Jamie brush her shoulder. Then she hears Jamie eight feet away exclaim from cutting himself (p295, Nook). It is a large black bear. Jamie was brawling the bear. It is quite a fight. Jamie is holding his own. Jamie tells Claire to run. She must do something. She finds the fish that had been flung into the clearing. She thought she was hitting the bear on the nose with it. The bear notices Claire, and it goes after her with Jamie clinging to its neck with a death grip. Claire moves fast. She heard growling and Gaelic screeches among the rolling mass. She was yelling for Jamie. She smells blood in the air. Jamie finally crawls into the clearing (p297, Nook). Yes, she had hit Jamie in the head with the fish, not the bear. Claire assesses for injury. There's nothing broken, but he has terrible bruising. Claire goes to calm the horses. When she returns, Jamie has the fire rekindled. He does have scratches on his back from the bear claws. As she looks at his back, they discuss why a black bear would attack. Usually, provocation caused them to do so. Claire peels his shredded shirt away to see four gouges (p299, Nook). She needs to cleanse the wounds. She remembers seeing arrowhead by the stream. She gives him a bottle of ale, he assures her he'll be fine, and goes to get the medicinal plant. The stream is cold. As she collected the plant, frogs sang around her, it felt so peaceful, until the stress of what just happened hit Claire. She shook so violently she needed to sit down. Death could come anytime. The thought of losing Jamie in a blink of an eye terrified her. She splashes cold water on her face and heads back to him. She can fight any infection that might occur. His care is in her hands now. As she returns to him, he's sitting bolt upright (p300, Nook). So, they were correct; the bear had been provoked. The three Indians sized up Jamie and Claire, while they did the same. The men didn't speak French or English. They rely on gestures and body language. One of the young men mimics a bear. Jamie points to where it lies. Jamie understands they are hunters and have no ill intention. Then he thinks he's going to faint. Claire won't let him. The men drag the bear over near the fire. The men are impressed that Jamie killed the near with his bare hands and the dirk. One of them decides he can treat Jamie's wounds (p302, Nook). Jamie is pale and barely holding to consciousness. He asks for a whisky. This is risky knowing how alcohol is dangerous for Indians to drink. If he didn't offer to share it, they would just take it. The older man appreciated the bouquet of the whisky. He doesn't drink from it though; he has another purpose in mind first (p303, Nook). The man then handed the pipe to Jamie. When it was Claire's turn, she inhaled instead of only allowing the smoke to enter her mouth. One of the men comes up to Claire to ensure she's a woman. To her surprise, he reaches out and grabs her breast. He gestures if she and Jamie are together. Jamie says she's his. They were going to skin the bear, but Jamie claims the right to do so. Before he begins, he says the gralloch prayer. The men were impressed by his praying over the bear. It's hard work skinning an animal. Jamie offered his knife to one of the men. This meant he is offering part of the meat as well. Claire wants to know what the older man did with the whisky (p306, Nook). Claire forgets how formidable Jamie is and what he must look like to others. She can see the air of savagery in him. It's not just the English who think Highlanders are barbarians it seems. These men understood quickly he was a fellow hunter and a civilized man. Jamie was gesturing and acting out the bear attack. He included Claire hitting him in the head with a fish mid-fight. They eat dinner together under the watchful dead eyes of the bear head. They were sharing stories. They exchange names. Claire's name came out “Klah” which they found exceedingly funny. These men are Tuscarora. One is named Nacognaweto. Jamie asks the names of the items surrounding them. He is quickly picking up their language. Claire is too tired to stay awake for any more of the conversation. Jamie is well enough. She curls up by his feet under the watched by the dead bear eyes, and she sleeps. What an adventurous week they've had. They take Pollyanne from the near grip of the law to the backcountry. While Young Ian and Myers took her to the Indians, Jamie and Claire headed toward the land the Governor offered him. The bear attack scared the daylights out of them both. This land is wild and dangerous. Death could easily come at any time. Do you suppose people valued the moments more than knowing there were so many ways death could come? I think we believe death is far away in our westernized lives. There is a sense of delayed mortality. We're always shocked when death or major illness occurs. It's an illusion of safety just like Pollyanne had in her African village. It's a good reminder to make time for the truly important things in life. I am always captured by how Jamie and Claire talk about things. Their conversations are meaningful yet seem easy. They've fallen back into their voiceless and verbal communication with barely a re-learning curve. I do think the Outlander series is a marriage manual. What's Coming up?

The convergence of the AM networks across the UK is a complex tale. Each of the original commercial stations, compelled by the regulator to do something more useful on their AM frequencies, generally chose to launch oldies stations of various flavours. Individual names like Supergold, WGMS, Brunel and GEM.AM gradually evolved into a mighty GWR network of Classic Gold stations, which was nothing to do with the original Yorkshire Radio Network ‘Classic Gold’ station. Meanwhile, At that time, Bauer were merrily amalgamating their AM stations into a Magic AM network, which was nothing to do with the London soft AC of the same name. Capital was assembling its own Capital Gold network too, comprising all its AM offerings such as Xtra-AM, WABC and South Coast Radio. Come August 2007, with GWR and Capital merged into GCap, their two AM networks Gold and Classic Gold became simply Gold. With the new name came programme changes, and here David ‘Kid’ Jensen hosts his last morning show after five year in the slot and prepares to begin the breakfast show. As a sunny day comes to an end, he generously pays tribute too to his colleagues who won’t be part of the new plans. Not sure if he took his competition with him. The single 'Gold' launched at 7 pm on 3rd August 2007, as the stations joined the sustaining service which was to be itself.
Important news first: Josh is back (for this episode, at least)! He’s taken a break from his new life of juggling childcare, work, and leaning in (dudes are allowed to do that too, right?) to talk about some of the most entertaining news in entertainment right now.Idiocracies, Theocracies, and DictatorshipsFirst off in jump cuts, those wascally wegiswators are at it again, trying to classify anything on the internet that takes up more bandwidth than a Geocities site as a potential terrorist threat. You may have heard about net neutrality from John Oliver, and since it’s kind of a tech thing, normally Josh would only be covering this on the podcast he records inside his head. As you may have figured out, though, this could potentially affect Netflix, so the Screeners are all over it. This should be fun…Next up, we’ve got another Biblical movie coming our way in December. Ridley Scott is taking on Exodus, subtitling it “Gods and Kings”. It looks epic, sure, but will it work? We’re sure Melody will love it, at least.And now, for something completely different: Chad’s already sung the (somewhat backhanded) praises of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s The Interview, but North Korea had to go and whine to the UN that the movie was actually an act of war, so we can’t help but talk about it again.Oh, and because Josh heard Rogen and Franco’s names and really wanted to post this link somewhere again: Watch this. You can thank us later. It was apparently shot on the set of The Interview, so there’s the tie-in, though we honestly don’t care if there’s a tie-in or not.Speaking of Korea, there’s a South Korean movie opening around the country on demand while its theatrical release is still expanding. Snowpiercer is a unique sci-fi movie with a distribution model that’s gaining steam; have any of the Screeners joined the on demand bandwagon?Well, At Least We’re Not Stuck in One GenreThis episode’s main event is a double feature, though the films could hardly be more different. We have a documentary about one of the most celebrated film critics in the history of film critics, and we have...a Planet of the Apes movie. Which is better? That’s like asking whether Beethoven’s music is better than Bob Dylan’s, whether Dickens wrote better than Hemingway...OK; we can’t keep that up. Just go ahead and listen - but before you do, guess which movie Josh hasn’t seen.It’s That Time of Year Again...The Emmys are upon us once more, and we think it’s in the podcast’s charter somewhere that we have to talk about awards shows, because what’s more fun than watching rich people in fancy clothes pat each other on the back, right?Anyway, the Screeners don’t have time to talk about all the awards, but for this installment of the Cutting Room Floor, they’ve decided to take a look at the most traditionally “important” awards and predict two things about each: which nominee will win, and which one should win. Come August 25, we’ll tally up the scores and give the winning Screener a golden...alright; we’ll probably just come up with some reason to mock them.That about does it for this episode; join us next time for more Michael Bay bashing -- err, conversation about media!
