Podcasts about conversations

The GOP has unleashed a terrifying new plot to harness the collective voting power of millions of QAnon adherents and sympathizers in their quest to retake the Congressional majority in this year's midterm elections. By doing so they have purposely unleashed a dangerous, uncontrollable virus into American politics. We talk with former New York Times investigative reporter and bestselling author Kurt Eichenwald about what it all means.

Taking a short break with ny voice and letting my colaborator and friend Eoin, host this edition of Word Balloon with an episode of his podcast Creator In Conversation.On this episode of Creator in Conversation, we're sitting down with two voices from very different ends of the comics spectrum-Eoin McAuley, the head of Lightning Strike Comics out of Ireland, and a true legend of the medium, Frank Miller.This isn't a nostalgia lap or a greatest-hits rundown. It's a real conversation about storytelling, creative risk, influence, and how the medium keeps evolving,sometimes uncomfortably, sometimes brilliantly. We talk process, career arcs, the weight of legacy, and what it actually means to keep creating when expectations are sky-high and the industry never stops shifting.

In this new episode of Weekend Conversations, we're host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the recent protests in Iran, the Iranian regime's response, and how the crisis has been discussed by the media, humanitarian leaders, and activists. Robert and Mick discuss why so many people struggle to find the line between right and wrong, how social media distorts our values, and much more.

What's the most realistic way a “dirty cop” plan would hold up in court, and why do TV writers get away with it?A movie recap turns into a long detour through The Walking Dead, Grey's Anatomy, and what it means to be permanently tied to one iconic role. From there it slides into Jennifer Lopez nostalgia, arguing over which of her movies were actually good, and realizing her singing voice is more distinctive than you remembered. Then the trip stories kick in. A birthday weekend, a Kroger Starbucks, and an all-time awkward public interaction that starts with, “Do you girls like elevators?” and somehow gets worse. The fight we were having before it happened, the immediate emotional whiplash after, and why we couldn't look away. Medieval Times gets reviewed like a consumer report. The horses and hawk are cool, the tournament runs long, and the sugar crash is real. Waffle House is loud enough to qualify as an assault, with plate slams, silverware buckets, and a screaming family turning breakfast into sensory warfare.There's also a return to the “K-pop boyfriend” conversation, what people mean when they say it, and why it can feel weird. That leads into a surprisingly earnest sidebar on poly relationships, “my wife's boyfriend” dynamics, and what that kind of arrangement does to people over time.Plus: caterpillars, butterflies, pollination, bad Italian food, a chaotic bill, and the kind of small annoyances that become the whole story.

Bible prophecy often has many layers and can be intimidating. Revelation 13 reveals a lot about a major figure in end-time prophecy called "the beast". What is it talking about? Is it a man? For further study, see Who Is the Beast? and Who Is the Beast of Revelation? (video).

On this week's podcast, we chat about what happened in Corrie between the 19th and the 23rd January (Episodes #11,777 - 11,781). This week, Megan revealed to Will that she's carrying his baby - and rather than running a mile (and not just in the athletics sense!), Will doubles down on his commitment to the secret affair. But is Megan REALLY that into him, and what will the revelation that Will isn't the first boy she's had a relationship with change things? Meanwhile, Lisa and Carla got back together on Wednesday, but what did we make of the speed that everything fell back into place for them? Also this week, Jodie continues to spin the truth about her past to Shona, a gullible Tyrone falls for Carl's lies and we discover that Roy's phone friend may not be quite who they seem... It was another week without much in the way of Corrie news this week, so we gave The Kabin a miss again, but we still had plenty of emails to delve into in the feedback segment.

From Shahs of Sunset to her return on The Valley: Persian Style, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi opens up about what she learned during her time away from reality TV cameras, why coming back feels different this time around, and why she turned down other TV opportunities like “The Traitors.” She talks motherhood, growth, and how becoming a mom has reshaped her priorities both on and off camera. Golnesa also breaks down her life today—from where she's living and her daily routine to going into business with both of her ex-husbands, including how she got started on OnlyFans and what people get wrong about it. She gets candid about relationships, revisits what really happened with her ex-husband Dennis and the friend betrayal that followed, and shares where things stand now. Plus, Golnesa dishes on The Valley: Persian Style, her evolving friendships with Reza and MJ, who from Shahs of Sunset she'd like to see make an appearance on the new show, and why people are often surprised when they meet her in real life.

Synopsis:  Join a thought-provoking conversation with Laura, Dean Obeidallah, and Joy Reid as they dissect the media landscape's seismic shifts and explore how journalists can reclaim their role in serving the people.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Journalism is at an inflection point. Under a hail of lawsuits, firings, new hires, and mercenary mergers, the business of media is in shambles even as the need for reliable, truthful information to reach voters is greater than ever. Where does that leave journalists? In this episode, Laura and her guests discuss the money media's dangerous denials and obfuscations, the problem with bothsidesism in a time of fascism, and the coverage of Renee Good's killing in Minneapolis. Dean Obeidallah is a lawyer, writer, award-winning comedian and host of SiriusXM radio's national daily program “The Dean Obeidallah Show”. Joy Reid, formerly host of the award-winning ReidOut on MSNBC, is a best-selling author, and host of the Joy Reid Show on YouTube. The decline of legacy media isn't all bad news — especially for those, like Palestinians and others, who were always shut out of it — and the rise of independent platforms, savvy media consumers and new mechanisms for collaboration just might usher in a new age of great journalism, just when we need it. Join Dean, Joy and Laura for this rich conversation on resistance, reporting, and survival.“What I would like corporate media to understand, their job is not to make money for shareholders and executives to get bonuses, but serve the people, make them smarter, even if it means losing access. I know that's a lot to ask, but that's what I would like because an educated, informed electorate is the key to saving this republic.” - Dean Obeidallah“It is a crime against journalism for the editorial director of a news network to say our job is not to deliver the news, but to go viral. That's crazy.”- Joy ReidGuests:•  Dean Obeidallah: Host of SiriusXM radio's The Dean Obeidallah Show• Joy Reid: Host of The Joy Reid Show Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are once again at the center of investor debate—but for very different reasons than past cycles. Lance Roberts and special guest, DeFi Development Corp's COO, Parker White, examine what's been happening beneath the surface of the crypto market, including the growing divide between older and younger Bitcoin cohorts and the increasing fractionalization of crypto ownership. Is Bitcoin's volatility evolving in a way that allows it to function as a portfolio diversifier, especially when compared to traditional hedges, like gold? What is its potential role in an all-weather portfolio? With 2026 shaping up as a potential "catch-up trade" year, we also address why altcoins continue to lag—and whether they still have a place in diversified portfolios. The discussion then turns to regulation and transparency. Would clearer rules improve market stability and adoption? We break down recent U.S. legislative efforts focused on stablecoins, crypto market structure, and blockchain innovation—while offering a critical assessment of their strengths and limitations. We also examine real-world blockchain use cases, including foreign remittances, stablecoin payments, and the tension between volatility and utility in global adoption. Lance and Parker address the practical side: how investors think about accessing and storing digital assets—and why protecting software developers and open-source innovation remains a foundational issue for the future of blockchain technology. This episode is designed to move beyond hype and headlines and focus on where cryptocurrency may—or may not—fit within a disciplined investment framework. 0:00 - INTRO 0:50 - Meet Parker White 2:06 - What's been going on lately with Bitcoin? 4:50 - Older & Younger Bitcoin Cohorts 6:37 - Is the cryptocurrency market becoming fractionalized; how does this affect volatility? 12:12 - Can Crypto become a diversifier in volatility? 13:13 - Why investors shy away from Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency 14:01 - Comparisons with Gold 15:34 - Bitcoin in All-Weather Portfolio 17:04 - 2026: The Year of the Catch-up Trade 19:53 - The relative poor performance of altcoins: What's their place in a portfolio? 22:12 - Would the Cryptocurrency market do better with more regulation?

Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFarès interviews Iranian visual artist Golnaz Fathi, who starts by sharing her educational journey from her initial training as graphic designer and classical calligrapher, to reaching her her final goal of becoming a painter and visual artist. Golnaz explains her love for all kinds of written scripts; her fascination with their shapes, their ways of carrying meaning and emotions. She describes how she managed to merge all her learned creative skills and passions (scripts and painting) into the type of written art she has been creating for decades. She challenged herself to break the rules of calligraphy and write along musical rhythms, like a performer, capturing the essence of writing — writing the "unwritten" that expressed pure emotion. She talks about pushing boundaries, creating cultural bridges and inviting viewers to respond in individual and imaginative ways to her work. She describes her inspirations acquired through art books, and how certain abstract expressionist artists that have had an impact on her way of creating art. She candidly relays the challenges she faced in Iran in having access to modern and international art, and her joy the first time she encountered those artworks physically in a museum. She discusses how music, poetry, and dance are core elements in her work citing as example an exhibition centered around the poetry of the renown Syrian poet Nizar Kabbani. The conversation concludes with talking about her other passions for cooking, enjoying food, hosting friends, and much more. Golnaz Fathi is one the visual artists and graphic women featured in the book "Revealing Recording Reflecting: Graphic Women from Southwest Asia and North Africa" (Amsterdam: Khatt Books, 2024).

In this first episode of Productive & Paid, I am opening up a conversation most entrepreneurs avoid. Too many people talk about how much money they made, but they never explain how they made it. They post wins and big numbers, but skip the details that would actually help you grow. That lack of honesty creates confusion. It leads to underpricing, overworking, and women staying stuck longer than they need to be. I also call out the smoke and mirrors I see in business, especially in online education. I am not here for the performance. I want us to understand money for real. Not to chase it. Not to flex it. But to know how it works. I share why so many women were taught not to talk about money, and how that silence has consequences. I also share stories about the money lessons I learned simply because I heard other people talk about what they were doing. That type of awareness can change your life. It can change your business too. We also go deeper into what getting paid really means. It is not just revenue. It is paying yourself. It is valuing your time. It is building a business that respects your life and does not require you to disappear. If you want real conversations about making money as an entrepreneur, income-generating activities, business growth, and paying yourself as a business owner, you are in the right place. Follow Productive & Paid for weekly episodes on money, time, and what actually moves results. If you love this podcast, you are going to love my newsletter. Join The Productivity Edit for weekly inspiration, practical business moves, and real-life strategies to help you stay productive, get paid, and stop wasting time on things that do not grow your income. https://dailysuccessroutine.lpages.co/list

Il n'aimait pas la tech. Il a pourtant cofondé l'une des plus grandes licornes françaises : Mirakl. Quand j'ai rencontré Adrien Nussenbaum, je n'ai pas vu un CEO de plus. J'ai vu un homme traversé par des doutes, une histoire familiale lourde, un rapport intime à la littérature, au cinéma, et une obsession silencieuse : construire quelque chose qui ait du sens. Dans ce nouvel épisode de PAUSE, il m'a parlé de ce qu'on ne met jamais dans les communiqués de presse. De l'échec qui marque pour longtemps. Du moment où l'on quitte la sécurité sans être sûr de soi. De ce que l'on sacrifie sans s'en rendre compte. Et de cette réussite immense qui ne répond pas à toutes les questions. On parle évidemment de Mirakl, de l'hypercroissance, de la place de l'IA, de cette pression constante à ne pas devenir obsolète quand on est dirigeant. Et surtout de ce qu'il y a derrière : la peur, l'intuition, le timing, l'association, les renoncements, et à cette fameuse question : qu'est-ce qui nous fait encore courir ?Hébergé par Ausha.

In this short solo episode, Sophia shares a big mistake she made in 2025 — one that directly contradicts a core OOUX principle she teaches. Using real examples from EdTech, Mighty Networks, and OOUX's own course offerings, she breaks down the problem of overlapping objects and the three ways teams can handle them: combine, differentiate, or live with confusion. She also announces an important shift in how OOUX training will be structured moving forward — and why this change makes things clearer for everyone.LINKS:OOUX Forum (free to join) OOUX WebsiteOOUX NewsletterThe Self-Paced OOUX Masterclass 3.0Continue the Conversation at the OOUX Forum

Great conversation with John over the details of his life!  We all know life can be challenging…. But CANCER? The struggle of life is real, but we can choose Faith over Fear!  John shares his life growing up, wrestling, military, marriage and yes, cancer! The answer to life's challenges is found in one of John's favorite Bible verses…“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him”John 3:17Keep your eyes on the prize and fighting the good fight is the call of all who know Christ!  Being in heaven with Jesus for eternity is the prize that only is found in and through HIM!
