Content Warning: domestic violence, murder, and missing persons.  Dr. Kelli Boling and Dr. Danielle Slakoff join us today to discuss their impactful research about the creation and consumption of true crime media.

Content Warning: sexual assault, rape, image-based sexual abuse, strangulation, domestic violence, and attempted murder. As shared in part one of her story, Kelly Sutliff is a survivor, founder of the nonprofit Kelly's K-9's: Tails of Courage, and a licensed professional counselor from New Jersey. In 2018, after a devastating grief journey, Kelly decided to return to her search for a life partner. It wouldn't be long before she met a government contractor promising her the future she desired. However, her entire life changed on December 16th, 2019, when the loving relationship she had been cultivating with her new husband ended violently. After surviving an alleged attempted murder, Kelly has made it her mission to bring awareness and advocacy through her non-profit and sharing her story in the media. The Broken Cycle Media team is so very grateful for Kelly's transparency, expertise, warmth, and listenership and support throughout the years.

After a brief fall hiatus, we return with Tom May of the Philadelphia-based punk rock institution The Menzingers! They've been touring and putting out critically-acclaimed records since 2006, so the obvious first question is how four high school friends from Scranton can keep the same line up and energy going strong for almost 20 years. Retrospectively, it seems obvious that the answer was "democracy". (Editor's note: this interview was recorded in early 2024) Besides a deep dive into guitar tone, we stay on topic and focus our conversation on in-ear monitors - including the active-ambient system Tom uses on stage, the Sensaphonics 3DMEs - and live event safety. Music heard in this episode is from The Menzinger's 8th and most recent studio album "Some of It Was True". Content Warning: this episode contains profanity. We challenge the sensitive listener to try talking about punk rock without the use of George Carlin's famous list of 7 words.

Content Warning: There are mentions of racial violence in this episode. If you have sensitivities around this subject, I urge you to take breaks as needed, or step away if it becomes too difficult. In 2023, the murder of Ajike “AJ” Owens shook the country–another Black mother taken too soon in a moment of senseless and unnecessary violence. In the years since, AJ’s story as told on Netflix’s ‘The Perfect Neighbor’ has prompted a larger conversation around race, fear, Stand Your Ground laws, and the everyday realities and dangers Black families navigate in America and in their communities. But AJ was more than a victim of racial violence, she was a woman whose life was filled with love, ambition, and unapologetic hope for her children and her future. Today, I’m pleased to be joined by two women who are integral to carrying AJ’s story forward with courage and purpose. Pamela Dias, AJ’s mother and co-founder of the Standing in the Gap Fund, has turned unfathomable grief into a mission to protect families who face race-based violence and its aftermath. Here with Pamela is her co-founder Takema Robinson, producer, and advocate for racial justice who helped bring AJ’s story to the masses. In this conversation, we explore how their relationship formed, what it means to tell a story shaped by grief, and how storytelling, advocacy, and memory can become pathways to collective healing. We talk about community, justice, and the ongoing fight to ensure that AJ and so many others like her are not forgotten.

This week we're recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” but — in true TAC fashion — we veer wildly off the rails in the best possible ways. We also talked about Megan's full-blown Oregon Chai obsession, Amy's unexpected backyard cryptid sighting, whether possums are adorable or demonic, why yelling at ghosts never works, and the ongoing “tree burial vs. cremation vs. body farm” debate that absolutely will not die. We talk of the upcoming season finale, listener suggestions for new investigations, potential paranormal podcast crossovers, and haunted places within road-trip distance that the TAC crew could visit in 2026. Prepare for tricksters, history, side quests, and a whole lot of laughing at the absurdity of it all. So grab your Oregon chai (trust us), get cozy, and join us…where The Activity Continues. Content Warning: In this episode we mention suicide by hanging (or was it?) and some child death in history. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not. Chapter Markers00:00:26 Intro00:01:30 Content Warning & Housekeeping00:06:43 Segment One – The Set Up00:28:03 Segment Two – The Investigation00:44:08 Discussion of Hanging00:45:56 Segment Three – The Reveal00:56:34 Research and Rabbit Holes01:01:48 Outro/Disclaimer Episode links:Oregon Chai Tea Concentrate: https://amzn.to/4p4k3g3The Dead Files Official Podcast: https://pod.link/1642377102Amazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you. The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

She and I first had the chance to meet each other at an intimate dinner celebrating the survivor-founded non-profit, The Army of Survivors, and their newest evolution: a full rebranding as The Athlete Survivor's Assist.

From layoffs to mental health crises, we are starting to get a clearer picture of the horrible impacts AI is having on all of us, and in this episode we continue to ask what the government and our society is going to do about it. Content Warning: this episode does discuss a few recent cases of suicide related AI chatbots, so skip ahead to 25:16 to avoid those topics.

Content Warning: discussion of cults, addiction, and death of a child from 3:16 - 8:10.Do you struggle with sharing your personal story on your show? You know authentic storytelling is the key to deep audience engagement and podcast impact, but you fear oversharing or inadvertently triggering your listeners. How do you find the right storytelling balance—powerful vulnerability without causing harm? In this episode, we sit down with Tracy Brinkmann to discuss how he leverages his unique past for maximum connection. We explore critical storytelling techniques, the importance of trigger warnings, and how to ensure your podcast growth comes from sharing from a healed place. This week, episode 248 of Podcasting Unlocked is about authentic storytelling for deeper impact! Tracy Brinkmann is a father of four, a former military man, and the voice behind The Dark Horse Entrepreneur – AI Escape Plan and Your Success DNA, two shows drawing over 300,000 monthly downloads. His life reads like a redemption arc — addiction, the loss of his 18-month-old daughter, divorce, and bankruptcy — yet he rose from it all to lead corporate marketing teams and build a thriving digital brand. Today, Tracy helps parents and small business owners compress time and multiply income using AI, podcasting, and automation.In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Tracy Brinkmann shares the importance of sharing your stories the right way and actionable steps you can take right now to make a deeper impact on your audience. Tracy and I also chat about the following: Storytelling from a Healed Place: Always share your personal story from a resolved, healed place, not from the "wound." This ensures your vulnerability is a source of strength, not trauma.Prioritize Audience Protection: Use clear trigger warnings and time stamps in your show notes and episode descriptions to give listeners the power to protect themselves from potentially difficult content.The Authentic Storytelling Balance: Find the middle ground where your personal story is vulnerable enough to create a deep audience engagement without causing burnout or oversharing.Focus on Content Relevance: Every story shared must have a clear connection to your podcast audience's life and your core message, ensuring high content relevance for maximum podcast impact.Your story is your superpower, but it must be handled with care. This week, pick one impactful experience from your past, and instead of focusing on the pain, focus on the lessons from  a healed place.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

She and I first had the chance to meet each other at an intimate dinner celebrating the survivor-founded non-profit, The Army of Survivors, and their newest evolution: a full rebranding as The Athlete Survivor's Assist. Janelle currently proudly serves on their advisory board, and shared a bit of her story that evening. I was deeply moved by her strength, expertise, and ability to encapsulate her difficult experiences with grace and relatability. The Broken Cycle Media team is grateful Janelle took the time to share her story of survivorship and about her advocacy work with our audience in the following two episodes.

Join host Charna Cassell for a raw and eye opening conversation with Margaret Bronson, founder of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret grew up inside a high control Christian cult and survived domestic violence, child abuse, excommunication, and the long psychological fallout of authoritarian religion. Now she guides others through the same dismantling of belief systems that once owned them. In this episode, Margaret unpacks how she and her husband developed somatic practices to help survivors heal the trauma stored in the body after years of purity culture, spiritual coercion, and obedience enforced through shame and fear. She breaks down what truly happens inside high control religious communities and why so many people leaving them feel like they're stepping out of a parallel universe. This conversation also dives into the political reality many of us are waking up to. Margaret explains how the same ideology that shaped her childhood is now embedded in Project 2025, Christian Reconstructionism, and the growing Trad Wife movement. She outlines the playbook of modern theocrats and shows how personal trauma and national policy are intertwined when religion is weaponized. If you're feeling a visceral reaction to Project 2025, this episode will help you understand why. Margaret offers grounding tools, embodied healing practices, and a clear-eyed look at what we're facing as the country edges closer to an openly theocratic agenda. Tune in for a fierce, validating, and deeply necessary conversation for anyone untangling from religious trauma or trying to make sense of this political moment.

Content Warning: rape, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Marlee Liss is a survivor,award-winning speaker, victim advocate, somatic educator, and author from Toronto, Canada. She grew up in the arts, but pivoted to social work when she began her college career. It was in Marlee's junior year when her life changed forever; she became the victim of a sexual assault and entered an arduous journey in the criminal justice system as a result. However, three years into that battle for justice, Marlee found an additional path: restorative justice. According to Walden University, quote “Punitive justice is the idea of punishing criminals for their crimes against society or the legal system itself, and is the traditional method of handling crime in the United States. Restorative justice seeks to bring victims of crimes into the justice process. Criminals are asked to take accountability for their wrongdoing by facing those they have wronged... The theory is that criminals owe more than a debt to society—they owe a debt to specific people,” end quote. The two processes are not always mutually exclusive. It's important to note that criminal justice can occur tandemly with restorative justice practices. The Broken Cycle Media team is so very grateful for Marlee's powerful perspective advocacy and time and energy in sharing in this episode.

Over the past five years TikTtok has radically changed the online world. But trust us when we say, it's not how you'd expect.Today we continue our yearslong exploration of what you can and can't post online. We look at how Facebook's approach to free speech has evolved since Trump's victory. How TikTtok upended everything we see. And what all this means for the future of our political and digital lives.Special thanks to Kate KlonickEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Simon AdlerProduced by - Simon AdlerOriginal music from - Simon Adlerwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomeFact-checking by - Anna Pujol-MazziniLateral Cuts:The Trust EngineersFacebook's Supreme CourtSignup for our newsletter!!
