In Episode 53 of Alphas Make Sandwiches, Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada come together for a relaxed, conversational episode centered on community discussion, shared experiences, and current topics shaping daily life. The episode unfolds as an open roundtable, with the hosts moving fluidly between personal updates, audience interaction, and commentary on recent events. Throughout the show, the conversation remains informal and unscripted, with humor, reflection, and candid dialogue guiding the pace. The hosts engage directly with chat participation, respond to questions and comments, and share perspectives rooted in lived experience rather than formal analysis. As the episode progresses, discussion naturally shifts between lighter moments and more thoughtful exchanges, reinforcing the community-driven nature of the show. The episode closes with continued engagement, appreciation for the audience, and reminders about upcoming programming, maintaining the familiar, welcoming tone that defines Alphas Make Sandwiches.

If technology is ruining the art of conversation, maybe it can save it, too. Anna Gat--poet, screenwriter, playwright, and founder of Interintellect--talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts on how she's reviving the French salon in the digital age. They discuss why authority, moderation, and clear formats make conversation freer, not more constrained. They also explore why one of the greatest of modern plays--Tom Stoppard's Arcadia--is so resonant not only as a live theatrical performance, but also when read aloud, both alone and in a group. They conclude the episode by connecting Arcadia's themes to Gat's mission at Interintellect: Namely, preserving the value of thinking together across generations, disciplines, and worldviews.

CONQUEST, THE DANELAW, AND THE EASTERN RUS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The conversation shifts from raiding to conquest, detailing the arrival of the "Great Heathen Army" in England around 865. Barracloughexplains that this force was likely comprised of smaller mobile warbands that eventually reached a stalemate with King Alfred, leading to the creation of the Danelaw and lasting linguistic influences on English place names. The discussion then moves east to the "Rus" (rowers) who navigated the waterways of Eurasia. Led by figures like Rurik, these Scandinavians settled in Novgorod and later Kiev, establishing a political foundation in what is now Russia and Ukraine. NUMBER 2

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by constitutional scholar and former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman for a critical conversation about unchecked presidential power, secrecy, and the erosion of democratic guardrails. We break down Trump's escalating foreign policy threats—from Iran to Venezuela—his normalization of military action without congressional oversight, and how retaliation-based governance is replacing the rule of law, from freezing federal funds in Minnesota to vetoing a bipartisan clean water bill in Colorado. Harry, a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General who has argued before the Supreme Court, explains why these moments matter, how Congress's silence enables executive overreach, and what happens when loyalty replaces legality. In a time when chaos is mistaken for strength and secrecy becomes policy, this episode confronts how close we are drifting toward government by vendetta—and why the law still matters.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 01! Happy New Year! Our guest today is Peter Jae, a multi-hyphenate performer in Hollywood. Peter Jae is an actor, stunt performer, producer, and multidisciplinary creative with over two decades of experience working across film, television, and independent projects. Born in Brooklyn and raised primarily in the Bronx—with time spent in Queens as well—Peter grew up navigating identity as a Korean American in predominantly Black and Latinx neighborhoods. Those early experiences deeply shaped his worldview and continue to inform the stories he chooses to tell and the characters he brings to life. Before entering Hollywood, Peter pursued a wide range of creative paths. He attended a performing arts high school, studied menswear design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and even launched his own urban greeting-card business. That early blend of art, entrepreneurship, and storytelling set the tone for a career defined by versatility rather than a single lane. Although his first opportunities in Hollywood were focused on stunt work and action, he has expanded into more substantial acting roles, appearing in projects such as Blackhat, Olympus Has Fallen, and numerous television productions. He is especially recognized for his work in Ktown Cowboys, an Asian American–led project that allowed him to portray a multidimensional Korean American character—something he has long advocated for in an industry that often limits Asian men to narrow stereotypes. Most recently, Peter stars in The Workout, an independent action-driven film that blends physical intensity with psychological tension. The story centers on discipline, survival, and the personal battles that unfold when routine, control, and identity collide—both inside and outside the gym. The film highlights Peter's ability to merge his background in stunts with grounded dramatic performance, reinforcing his reputation as an actor who brings authenticity and depth to physically demanding roles.

This is a special episode of For the Good of the Public, cross-posted with "Conversing with Mark Labberton." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conversing-with-mark-labberton/id1161564408 Can joy be anything but denial in a rage-filled public life? Michael Wear joins Mark Labberton to reframe politics through the kingdom logic of hope, agency, and practices of silence and solitude. As 2025 closes amid political discord, we might all ask whether joy can be real in public life—without denial, escapism, or contempt. "… Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." In this conversation, Michael Wear and Mark Labberton reflect on joy, hope, responsibility, and agency amid a reaction-driven politics. Together they discuss the realism of Advent; the limits of our control; how kingdom imagination reframes anger; hope beyond outcomes, dignity under threat, and practices (including silence and solitude) that restore clarity. About Michael Wear Michael Wear is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, a nonpartisan nonprofit that contends for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good. He has served for more than a decade as a trusted advisor to civic and religious leaders on faith and public life, including as a presidential campaign and White House staffer.

Today we speak with Rachel Kuo about her book, Movement Media: In Pursuit of Solidarity, recently published by Oxford University Press. This fascinating study understands political activism through a unique perspective, asking the question, how do the choices activists make about how to present their movements to the public indicate key strategic, tactical, and political decisions?  Kuo shows that as they seek to persuade others to join their causes, activists work out their own questions, values, and commitments. Ranging from ‘zines, newsletters, posters, social media and more, Rachel talks about successes, defeats, and moments of burn-out and regrouping. From “BlackLivesMatter” to “#StopAsianHate” we see both moments of exhilaration, and painful self-reflection as movements take shape, change vectors, and imaging.A teaching and discussion guide for the book is here: https://www.rachelkuo.com/movement-media-bookRachel Kuo writes, teaches, and researches on race, social movements, and digital technology. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is author of Movement Media: In Pursuit of Solidarity (Oxford University Press) and co-editor of We Are Each Other's Liberation: Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities (Haymarket Books).

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Rich Bennett and cohost Greg Derwart take a deeper look at what America's Founding Fathers got right and wrong. This episode explores the real stories, leadership decisions, and human flaws behind Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.From Franklin's entrepreneurial mindset and inventions, to Washington's quiet leadership and willingness to step down from power, to Jefferson's role as philosopher, writer, and dealmaker, this conversation goes far beyond what most of us learned in school. Rich and Greg connect history to modern leadership, business, and civic responsibility, showing why these lessons still matter today.Sponsored by Eco-Cool HVAC, a veteran-owned Harford County business committed to comfort and community.Send us a textVote for us hereEco-Cool HVACYOUR FRIEND IN THE SUMMERS & WINTERS!

When Professor Mandyam Srinivasan began studying bees almost 35 years ago, we was interested in learning how bees landed so elegantly, and avoided colliding in mid-air.What Mandyam discovered was a complex and astounding system of vision and flight, which is now being applied to machine vision and robotics.He and his team at the Queensland Brain Institute built an autonomous aircraft, without GPS or radar, that flies like a bee.The technology could have widespread applications for surveillance, rescue operations, defence, and planetary exploration.Further informationMandyam Srinivasan is now Emeritus Professor at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland.The episode of Conversations covers neuroscience, bees, sensory neuroscience, the study of bees, intelligent machines,

Foster Alumni Share What They Listen For When They  Interview Job Candidates Every fall and winter, MBA students gear up for behavioral interviews with an understandable mix of anticipation and anxiety. We spend hours coaching them on frameworks, stories, and delivery. But nothing beats hearing directly from the people on the other side of the table. On this encore episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, I brought together four Foster MBA alumni—now at Accenture, Google, Walmart, and Goldman Sachs—to share what they actually listen for when evaluating candidates. I spoke with each of them separately, but their messages converged with remarkable clarity.  Here are the big themes. 1. Preparation isn't optional—it's the floor, not the ceiling. Every alum highlighted the same point: the "Tell me about yourself" question is guaranteed. If you can't deliver a clear, structured, thoughtful answer, it signals a lack of intention. Adam Schmidt (Accenture) put it plainly: "This is a question you know is coming." Preparation demonstrates respect for the interviewer's time and respect for your own story. It's the discipline before the performance. 2. Authenticity beats perfection. Several alumni talked about sensing whether an answer felt honest, grounded, and human. Authenticity arises from knowing your stories well enough that you can speak naturally—not recite. Skylar Brown (Goldman Sachs) shared that authenticity often shows up in how candidates pause, think, and connect their experiences to the role. Over-scripted answers flatten your personality; thoughtful ones reveal how you'll show up as a colleague. Stoic reminder: focus on what is within your control—your preparation and your presence—not the outcome. 3. Your impact matters more than the résumé lines. At Google, Sam Eid looks for patterns that reveal how a candidate operates on a team. One of his sharpest insights: candidates who talk only in "I" form look self-centered, but candidates who talk only in "we" form leave interviewers wondering what they actually did. He advises framing a story around: The opportunity or challenge What the team achieved Your specific contribution What wouldn't have happened without you That last piece is gold. It's also how Google evaluates internal performance. 4. "Why this company?" must show you've done real homework. The alumni were unanimous: generic answers tank candidates. You should be able to articulate: What differentiates the company How its mission or values connect to you Who you've spoken with and what you learned Why this role aligns with your future trajectory Claire Herting (Nintendo, ex-Walmart) noted that specific, thought-out answers signal maturity and genuine motivation—not simply chasing the brand name. 5. Cultural fit isn't code for conformity—it's awareness. Companies want to see that you understand the environment you're entering and how you'd contribute to it. Whether it's humility, customer obsession, collaboration, or intellectual curiosity, your stories should reflect the behaviors that matter most at that organization. Not by forcing it, but by choosing experiences that naturally align. 6. The biggest mistakes happen before the interview. One of the most useful insights came from Skylar Brown: many candidates cast too wide a net. When you're interviewing for 20–40 roles you don't genuinely want, your answers sound hollow. Depth beats breadth. Focus creates authenticity. The bottom line Across industries and roles, alumni interviewers value the same things: Clear thinking Genuine enthusiasm Self-awareness A structured approach to storytelling A real understanding of the company and role Behavioral interviews aren't about trick questions—they're about surfacing who you are, how you work with others, and how you make an impact. If you're preparing for interviews this season, the wisdom from these alumni is a powerful compass.

Jesus didn't drift into spiritual strength—He decided to seek God.In this message, Pastor Mark Cummins explores how Jesus lived a life of intentional prayer and why that same discipline is essential for anyone who wants to follow Him today. Drawing from Mark 1, Philippians 4, Matthew 6, and multiple New Testament teachings on prayer, you'll see how consistent time with God produces peace, clarity, and transformation.God is conforming us into the image of His Son (Romans 8:29), and prayer is one of the primary ways that change happens. This message breaks down what it looks like to build a prayer life marked by: Consistency, Conversation, Communion and Change.
