You know it's going to be a wild ride when Vicki Joy Anderson is in the house! This episode is a no-holds-barred deep dive into spiritual warfare, the challenges of isolation in fringe Christian circles, and the struggle of navigating biblical truth in a world full of traditions and misconceptions. We talk about deconstruction without destruction, the pitfalls of making secondary issues into deal-breakers, and the lost art of constructive correction among believers. Oh, and somehow we even managed to tie in rock tumblers, flat earth, and the importance of embracing suffering.

Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories
Dear Mama, What if I told you Black mamas aren't superheroes, that the cape is choking us, and our backs are brittle? What if I told you motherhood ain't killing us, though, but the narratives we buy into hook, line, and sinker are? What if you had the option not to be the primary custodial parent? Would you decline out of obligation to the belief that a good Black mama would never choose to leave their children in the care of others, even the other parent? How does a Black mother respond when what's best for her or her destiny clashes with cultural norms? In this Mother's Day episode, I shared my journey with Dem Black Mamas Podcast about the complexities and challenges of non-custodial parenting and Black motherhood. When Erica and her husband decided to divorce, they also agreed to shared custody. Each parent would have primary custody for 3 years of their son Maxwell who was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy 10 years ago. We dive into: Confronting societal norms and cultural stigmas Navigating health and care decisions for children with special needs as a noncustodial parent Historical trauma and Black motherhood Renegotiating Black motherhood Connect with Dem Black Mamas: YouTube | Email List | Patreon | Blusky

We need a new story. We also need to do the hard work of re-engineering our societies, re-imagining our relationships, and remembering our bodies. Vanessa Machado de Oliveira, author of Hospicing Modernity, start our conversation right there, teasing apart the comforting notion that the hard work is just a language problem. Yes, we need a new story. And what else? And where do stories come from? And how are we wired to reject uncomfortable stories? And how do we make the uncomfortable possible? And which of our traditional strategies are getting in the way of the future? Vanessa is celebrated for her work on modernity, and providing the tools to confront its collapse by reframing it as palliative care. Her new book, Outgrowing Modernity, develops more tools for how to nurse the possible futures emerging on our horizon. We harness these tools and metaphors to journey on a conversation of enquiry rather than conclusion, laughing with the notion that there is a single answer to any of this. This is a probing, thoughtful and curious conversation in which Vanessa and I think out loud together about what to do at the end of the world.

Dr. Mia Bloom, author and professor at Georgia State University sits down with Rabbi Natan for a discussion on the impact of terrorism and the evolving threat that it poses to Israel and free societies everywhere.

In this episode, Maliha Safri, Marianna Pavlovskaya, Stephen Healy, and Craig Borowiak talk about their new co-authored book Solidarity Cities: Confronting Racial Capitalism, Mapping Transformation (University of Minnesota Press, 2024). This volume is part of the Diverse Economies and Livable Worlds series. Solidarity economies, characterized by diverse practices of cooperation and mutual support, have long played pivotal but largely invisible roles in fostering shared survival and envisioning alternatives to racial capitalism globally and in the United States. This book maps the thriving existence of these cooperative networks in three differently sized American cities, highlighting their commitment to cooperation, democracy, and inclusion and demonstrating the desire—and the pressing need—to establish alternative foundations for social and economic justice. Collectively authored by four social scientists, Solidarity Cities analyzes the deeply entrenched racial and economic divides from which cooperative networks emerge as they work to provide unmet basic needs, including food security, affordable housing, access to fair credit, and employment opportunities. Examining entities such as community gardens, credit unions, cooperatives, and other forms of economic solidarity, the authors highlight how relatively small yet vital interventions into public life can expand into broader movements that help bolster the overall well-being of their surrounding communities. Bringing together insights from geography, political economy, and political science with mapping and spatial analysis methodologies, surveys, and in-depth interviews, Solidarity Cities illuminates the extensive footprints of solidarity economies and the roles they play in communities. The authors show how these initiatives act as bulwarks against gentrification, exploitation, and economic exclusion, helping readers see them as part of the past, present, and future of more livable and just cities. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions. This episode is hosted by Elena Sobrino. Elena is a lecturer in Anthropology at Tufts University. Her research explores volunteer work, union histories, and environmentalism in the Flint water crisis. She is currently writing about the politics of fatigue and crisis, and teaching classes on science and technology studies, ethnographies of crisis, and global racisms.

They explore how Democratic leaders — from Clinton to Obama to Biden — consciously distanced the party from its working-class base, paving the way for today's political crisis.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat happens when a determined president returns for a second term after four years in the political wilderness? Donald Trump's first hundred days back in power provide a fascinating case study in executive leadership that's reshaping American government at breathtaking speed.Trump's administration has launched what can only be described as a conservative counter-revolution, systematically dismantling progressive policies through an unprecedented 142 executive orders. The boldest move might be the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk, already identifying billions in potential savings and representing the most significant government reduction effort since Reagan.The southern border transformation stands as perhaps the most dramatic success story. Without new legislation, merely through focused executive action, illegal crossings have reportedly plummeted by an astonishing 95% - a statistic that speaks volumes about the impact of determined leadership. Meanwhile, America First trade policies have reintroduced tariffs targeting China and other trade partners, with early economic indicators showing promise despite some market uncertainty.Foreign policy hasn't been neglected either, with NATO allies facing renewed pressure to increase defense spending contributions and energy independence once again prioritized as a national security imperative. Not all moves have been universally embraced - mass pardons for January 6th defendants have proven deeply polarizing, though Trump campaigned explicitly on this promise.The most significant challenge may be judicial resistance, with an unprecedented number of nationwide injunctions issued against Trump's policies. This constitutional struggle between executive authority and judicial oversight will likely define much of the administration's legal strategy moving forward.Whether you view these developments with enthusiasm or alarm, there's no denying we're witnessing a pivotal moment in American governance - one that asks fundamental questions about executive power, constitutional interpretation, and the proper role of government. What grade would you give Trump's first 100 days?Key Points from the Episode:• Record-breaking 142 executive orders targeting climate regulations, COVID mandates, and diversity initiatives• Creation of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk identifying billions in potential savings• 95% reduction in illegal border crossings through emergency declaration and enhanced enforcement• Implementation of America First trade policies with tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico• Pushing NATO allies to increase defense spending while reducing foreign aid• Mass pardons for January 6th defendants as promised during campaign• Confronting "judicial tyranny" with unprecedented nationwide injunctions against policies• Priority recommendations: pass tax cuts by July 4th, solidify DOGE with congressional action, and work with Congress to curb nationwide judicial injunctionsKeep fighting the good fight.Other resources: Trumps first 100 days written report cardWant to leave a review?

Summary: E Káàró, friends! Today, Holly and Devin armchair travel to Nigeria. Known for its vibrant culture, diversity, rich artistic heritage and a thriving film industry (Nollywood), this country has so much to explore. With both books set in the bustling city of Lagos, our hosts get to explore the romantic and thrilling aspects of this amazing country. Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:00): Devin discussed The Sweetest Remedy by Jane Igharo, a novel following Hannah Bailey, successful biracial business woman living in San Francisco, who is invited to her estranged father's funeral - in Lagos, Nigeria. After a brief relationship with her white mother, she never had a connection to her father or his prestigious family, but this opportunity is too good to pass up. Uncovering half siblings, secrets, culture and even a man she never expected, Hannah must come to a new understanding of who she is and where she fits in the world. Devin's key takeaways were: Hannah's experience reflects that of many diaspora children, caught between cultures, feeling not quite “enough” of either. Her journey is tender, frustrating, funny, and deeply affirming and she works to expand her sense of self and identify where she belongs amongst her expanded family. While you get a great sense of Lagos through the book, the setting of a Nigerian funeral, especially for someone as prominent as Hannah's father, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story. They're multi-day affairs that are part mourning, part celebration, part family reunion, part “airing of grievances.” Through this event, the book explores Nigerian culture, familial expectations, inheritance (emotional and literal), and reconciliation. The romance is beautifully folded into Hannah's emotional journey. It's not just “hot guy in Nigeria,” Lawrence is a patient and supportive friend first who guides Hannah and helps her navigate the rough waters of her expanding identity. It's romantic, yes, but also rooted in identity and growth. The Dagger (13:50): Holly discussed Gaslight by Femi Kayode, a crime fiction story following Jeremiah Dawodu, the influential leader of a prominent megachurch in Lagos. He's publicly arrested in the middle of a service for the suspected murder of his wife. Despite his skepticism toward organized religion, Philip Taiwo, an investigative psychologist who recently returned to Nigeria from the US, is reluctantly drawn into the case by his sister. Confronting a web of secrets, resistance from the church, and the complexities of Nigerian society, Philip must cut through the noise to uncover the truth. Holly's key takeaways were: The novel examines how religious institutions wield influence and the potential for corruption within such structures. The pursuit of truth in a society and institution rife with secrecy and manipulation underscores the narrative, questioning the nature of justice and the power of religion and religious leaders. Through the lens of a psychological crime thriller, the novel illuminates both the beauty and contradictions of Nigerian society; it critiques power structures while celebrating resilience, explores how people navigate moral gray zones, and invites readers to see Nigeria in all its complexity: vibrant, chaotic, spiritual, flawed, and deeply human. Taiwo's family's experiences reflect the complexities of cultural identity and the challenges of reintegration after living abroad. The personal struggles within Taiwo's family parallel the broader societal issues, emphasizing the interplay between personal and communal conflicts.

In perhaps my most raw episode yet, I share the recent experience of my second work with Iboga at Etéreo: Center for Truth in Baja, Mexico. As I recounted this journey, I shed many unexpected tears while reflecting on the resistance I faced, the shadows I had to confront, and the enormous clarity that emerged through this recent work with the Iboga medicine. With stern realness and my signature vulnerability, I discuss how Iboga worked on me as a sharp, clear mirror, showing me a part of myself I had long suppressed.Guided by Paije A.

In this episode, Maliha Safri, Marianna Pavlovskaya, Stephen Healy, and Craig Borowiak talk about their new co-authored book Solidarity Cities: Confronting Racial Capitalism, Mapping Transformation (University of Minnesota Press, 2024). This volume is part of the Diverse Economies and Livable Worlds series. Solidarity economies, characterized by diverse practices of cooperation and mutual support, have long played pivotal but largely invisible roles in fostering shared survival and envisioning alternatives to racial capitalism globally and in the United States. This book maps the thriving existence of these cooperative networks in three differently sized American cities, highlighting their commitment to cooperation, democracy, and inclusion and demonstrating the desire—and the pressing need—to establish alternative foundations for social and economic justice. Collectively authored by four social scientists, Solidarity Cities analyzes the deeply entrenched racial and economic divides from which cooperative networks emerge as they work to provide unmet basic needs, including food security, affordable housing, access to fair credit, and employment opportunities. Examining entities such as community gardens, credit unions, cooperatives, and other forms of economic solidarity, the authors highlight how relatively small yet vital interventions into public life can expand into broader movements that help bolster the overall well-being of their surrounding communities. Bringing together insights from geography, political economy, and political science with mapping and spatial analysis methodologies, surveys, and in-depth interviews, Solidarity Cities illuminates the extensive footprints of solidarity economies and the roles they play in communities. The authors show how these initiatives act as bulwarks against gentrification, exploitation, and economic exclusion, helping readers see them as part of the past, present, and future of more livable and just cities.

In this episode, we dive into a thoughtful conversation with Gloomy, a comic artist and illustrator known for their deeply personal and provocative work. We delve into their recent comic Double Feature, which challenges societal taboos around fetishes and upholds body positivity. Together, we reflect on how Gloomy's influences, from Rocky Horror Picture Show to indie comics and punk aesthetics, have shaped their art and storytelling. Their unique perspective encourages us to question societal norms, confront personal shame, and embrace self-expression with empathy and openness. We also discuss the broader themes Gloomy tackles in their comics, including the male loneliness epidemic and the complexities of online relationships. Their ongoing series, Cat Girl, examines these issues through a compassionate lens, offering nuanced commentary on patriarchal pressures and the need for genuine human connection. The conversation touches on Gloomy's exploration of hyper-capitalism, the commodification of authenticity, and the societal constructs that shape our understanding of ourselves and others. Finally, Gloomy shares their insights into creative freedom and the importance of vulnerability in both relationships and art. Their commitment to challenging stigmas and fostering understanding reminds us of the transformative power of honest storytelling. Whether through exploring kink as a metaphor for intimacy or creating spaces for marginalized voices, Gloomy's work inspires us to embrace our full, authentic selves.

If an organization is going to grow in a healthy way, leaders must learn how to correctly address wrong attitudes and behaviors. They do this best when they use confrontation only as a means to restoration. Check out the video version of this podcast.

On this edition of Parallax Views, we remember the late Pope Francis in conversation with veteran journalist William Dowell, who recently penned the WhoWhatWhy article “The Passing of a Genuinely Christian Pope.” Dowell reflects on Francis's lasting spiritual legacy, portraying him as a humble and principled leader who consistently emphasized compassion for the poor, migrants, and marginalized—offering a distinct moral voice in a time often marked by political polarization and societal uncertainty. Drawing on decades of experience covering the Vatican and international affairs, Dowell shares thoughtful reflections on papal transitions, the evolving role of the Catholic Church, and how Francis's message of empathy and humility resonated with younger generations and diverse global audiences. The conversation also widens to examine broader political and cultural dynamics, including the rise of populist and authoritarian currents in the United States, especially in light of the 2nd Trump presidency. Dowell offers his perspective on recent political developments and contrasts the ethos of Francis's leadership with contemporary trends he sees as driven more by power than principle. In an age where foundational democratic and ethical values are frequently contested, the discussion offers space for reflection on the role of conscience, truth, and leadership. This wide-ranging dialogue is both a tribute to a unique papacy and an invitation to deeper thought.
In this gripping episode, we dive into the Trump administration's bold move to spotlight the arrest of 100 undocumented immigrants accused of heinous crimes, including rape, murder, and sexual offenses against children, with mugshot-style signs lining the White House lawn. Join us as we unpack the details of these high-profile cases, explore the administration's aggressive immigration crackdown, and debate the implications of this provocative display. From the stories behind the arrests to the political firestorm it's ignited, we'll examine the intersection of crime, immigration policy, and public perception. Tune in for a raw, unfiltered discussion on justice, borders, and the fight to protect our communities.

In this episode of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, the crew takes a raw and reflective dive into the evolving standards of settling down and what it really means to build a lasting relationship in today's world. The Tribe explores the pressures millennials face—from societal expectations to personal fears—when it comes to committing long-term. The team gets pensive (yes, that's the word of the week!) as they tackle:
We are confronted on an almost daily basis with a new report about so-called leaders who are removed from their positions for poor performance, scandalous behavior, or the ubiquitous “loss of confidence.” These stories occur so often it makes us wonder if the label “good leader” is an oxymoron, if the art of leadership is dead and gone, and perhaps most importantly, what the future looks like if this is the case. Today's podcast guest is Tom Casey, a leadership expert, advisor, and author whose latest book on the topic is called “Leadership's Future—Confronting Not Condoning!” Tom and Tony discuss the traits that expose poor leaders, the qualities that elevate good ones—many of which are unfortunately lacking in today's corporate, military, and political leadership—and finally, share their expertise on shaping future leaders to be curious, empathetic, and accountable.

We've all felt it. That awkward disconnect when the vibe is off and you're wondering how you ended up across the table from someone who just isn't where you are.

asses.masses is a unique, 7-hour, live performance that uses video game logic to expand the narrative possibilities and social dramaturgy of experimental theater. With a single video game controller at the front of a movie theater with lights up so everyone can see each other, the audience must negotiate amongst themselves who will step up to play the next section of a narrative game that spans a wide range of different genres from 8-bit pixel art RPG representing the hyperreal to high-res, 3D open world walking simulators representing a fantasy idealized realm. The audience also has to negotiate how to make hundreds of collective decisions that come up in the game from dialogue tree options to which direction to to go to deciding which set of metaphoric political platform issues that should be prioritized for the ensemble cast of socialist Marxist donkeys. They lean upon the binge-watching culture to split the 7 to 8-hour run time into 10 total episodes split into 2-episode chunks that are broken up by 4 different intermissions where snacks and dinner are provided. Here's a description of the story that's told in this long-form format: The unemployed donkeys have one demand: the humans must surrender their machines and give all donkeys their jobs back. But revolution is never easy! asses.masses is a custom-made video game about labour, technophobia, and sharing the load of revolution, designed to be played from beginning to end in a live theatre. This is gaming as performance, an immersive, cheeky, and highly original work. Brave spectators take turns at the controller to lead the herd through a post-Industrial society, where asses are valued more for their hides than their potential. Confronting automation-driven job loss, nostalgia as a barrier to progress, and the role of technology in adaptation, we are encouraged to find space between the work that defines us and the play that frees us. asses.masses is Animal Farm meets Pokémon meets Final Fantasy, as exciting in form as it is in content. No previous gaming (or donkey) experience required. asses.masses is one of the more unique immersive experiences that I've had a chance to have, especially when it comes to mashing up social behaviors that stem from video game culture, but set within a live theatrical context. I saw asses.masses at PAM CUT (Portland Art Museum's Center for an Untold Tomorrow) here in Portland, OR on March 29th, and I had a chance to remotely catch up with the co-creators Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim to unpack their journey of blending video games into how stories are told in a live theatrical performance. We also explore how they're exploring new modes of social dramaturgy that leverage insights from couch co-op, live Twitch streams, and video game logic where part of the performance is automated through the video game itself, but it's augmented by the emergent social dynamics of the audience that end up reflecting main narrative themes of managing flows of power, community-building, collective decision-making, and in the case of our screening some actual revolt against an theater nerd/gamer audience member turned heel. Overall, the experience allowed the audience to exercise some muscles of social imagination beyond the Capitalist Realism baseline as elaborated by Mark Fisher's work, and there was a turn-taking between the more cathartic mode of Aristotelian drama and breaking the fourth wall of Brecht's distancing effect / alienation effect. The narrative was initially developed to serve a wide range of game-play mechanics in a live theater context, but the spaciousness of the extended run-time allowed them to explore many deeper philosophical, political, and economic topics that most stories do not have the time to get into. The ensemble cast of archetypal characters each have their own arc, and I found that the ending and epilogue really landed and stuck with me. If you have an opportunity to catch an upcoming scre...
The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
How often do we wait for motivation to show up—especially when it comes to our kids? I've been there too, thinking it would just "hit me" when the time was right. But here's what life has taught me: real motivation isn't found; it's built through action. In this episode, I'm getting real about what motivation actually looks like when you're a dad. I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how my teenage son challenged me to step way outside my comfort zone — all the way to a bodybuilding stage. It wasn't about winning medals or getting a six-pack. It was about showing up, pushing through the hard days, and keeping promises to myself and to him. I'll break down the three simple but powerful rules we lived by during this journey—rules that helped us grow stronger as individuals and even closer as father and son. This isn't just about fitness. It's about choosing connection, ownership, and legacy, even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt stuck, waiting for a spark to get started, this one's for you. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this episode, I'll explore: Why waiting for motivation can cost you priceless moments with your kids. The three simple rules that helped us grow stronger—on and off the bodybuilding stage. Why keeping promises to yourself builds lasting trust with your family. How saying "yes" to challenges can create memories that last a lifetime. Here's what research supports about the power of action and intention: Studies show that couples who engage in regular, small acts of kindness report a 28% increase in relationship satisfaction. Research indicates that setting specific, shared goals increases the likelihood of improved communication and intimacy by 35%. Prioritizing quality time has been shown to reduce feelings of loneliness in relationships by 20%.

Rob is the creator and host of The Stimulus Podcast and leads Orman Physician Coaching. He holds extensive expertise as a medical educator, is a multiple award-winning speaker with a deep background in communication. He served as chief editor of EM:RAP, created the Stimulus and ERcast podcasts, and for nearly a decade hosted Essentials of Emergency Medicine, the largest single-track emergency medicine conference in the world. The discussion touches on the structure of physician jobs, how coaching can shift individual mindsets and institutional culture, and how moving from rumination to action can be transformative.
