Timothy Busfield was charged following his grand jury testimony, and the audio from that hearing has now been released.He denies it all. But when you listen closely to exactly what he says, and just as importantly what he avoids saying, a different picture starts to form of Busfield. You'll hear him shift between certainty and vagueness in the same breath, lean on his own personal definitions of what counts as inappropriate, and describe things as "unprecedented" rather than impossible. This video walks you through it line by line so you can decide for yourself what his words are really telling you.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

Charles Spicer recounts how, by September 1938, the amateur spies learned of the Oster Conspiracy, a robust plan by German military and police units to arrest Hitler and prevent war. Spicer argues this was a credible arrangement that could have succeeded had Britain supported the resistance. Instead, Chamberlain's "Plan Zed"—his personal flights to meet Hitler—undermined the conspirators by robbing them of their casus belli. Intelligence regarding this plot reached the cabinet and was referenced in minutes, but it was never acted upon. Consequently, Hitler gained the Sudetenland and vital armament works without a fight, effectively fueling his future war machine. (10)1940

In Episode 675 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee welcomes Cameron Stack, founder and curator of Recognized.fm, for a conversation about podcast awards, creator credibility, industry recognition, and the growing business behind awards, nominations, platform distinctions, editorial selections, and career honors. Podcast awards can be easy to dismiss as another trophy or promotional exercise. Credible recognition can have a much larger impact on a creator, a show, a network, or a media company. An award nomination or win can strengthen a media kit, support sponsor conversations, attract better guests, generate press coverage, and give prospective listeners another reason to take a show seriously. The difficult part is deciding which awards deserve the investment. Podcasting now has a wide recognition ecosystem that includes juried competitions, audience-voted awards, editorial selections, regional programs, platform honors, niche-category awards, professional distinctions, and lifetime-achievement recognition such as the Podcast Hall of Fame. Cameron created Recognized.fm to organize this expanding market and help creators understand their options. Recognized currently tracks more than 100 audio and podcast awards, with information that can be filtered by factors such as geographic scope, entry fees, voting format, and prestige.  They discuss why creators should begin with a clear objective before paying to submit. A widely known international award may bring general visibility, while a smaller award focused on a creator's profession, region, language, or subject category may carry more influence with the people they most want to reach. Example 1: A medical podcast may receive greater credibility in healthcare than from a broad entertainment competition. Example 2: A true-crime show may benefit more from an award respected by that community than from competing across every podcast genre. Submission fees also need to be considered. Independent creators may only have the budget to enter one or two competitions, while networks and larger publishers can treat award submissions as part of a broader marketing strategy. Cameron explains why creators should compare costs against potential returns in visibility, authority, business development, audience growth, and professional validation. The judging process matters just as much as the entry fee. Creators should understand who operates the award, how judges are selected, what criteria are used, whether the process is transparent, and how much weight the recognition will carry with the intended audience. Every award has its own purpose and incentives. Some are selected by industry juries. Others rely on fan voting, editorial judgment, platform data, or a combination of methods. Recognized.fm is building a clearer taxonomy so creators can understand those differences before committing their time and money.  Awards also function as social proof. Audiences already use ratings, reviews, trailers, artwork, recommendations, and visible audience activity to decide whether a show deserves attention. A respected award or nomination adds another outside signal that the work has been evaluated and recognized. The recognition can strengthen sponsor decks, improve outreach to potential guests, support speaking opportunities, and help creators position themselves as credible voices within a category. The impact can continue long after the ceremony, as recognition becomes part of the creator's biography, website, introductions, and business materials. We also explore the larger “recognition economy”. Awards are one part of an industry that includes trophy manufacturers, submission platforms, consultants, event producers, sponsors, judging systems, media organizations, and the businesses that support professional recognition. As creator-led media grows, new awards will continue to emerge around podcasts, YouTube shows, livestreaming, newsletters, social video, and other online formats. Established awards will also need to adapt as audiences and media habits change. Artificial intelligence will bring another layer of change. Cameron expects AI-related categories and dedicated AI awards to emerge as organizations seek ways to recognize new forms of production and technological achievement. Rob raises the trust questions that will accompany that shift, especially when established human-centered awards begin considering synthetic or substantially AI-generated work. The episode closes with a look at the physical trophies themselves. Cameron shares examples from the Webbys, Signal Awards, iHeartPodcast Awards, international design competitions, and other recognition programs. A memorable trophy can become a visible symbol of the award and extend its value through videos, studio sets, social posts, and public appearances. For creators, producers, networks, and media companies, Episode 675 provides a practical framework for deciding when awards are worth pursuing, how to evaluate them, and how credible recognition can support broader media and business strategies.

When your childhood taught you that having needs was dangerous - that being pleasing, useful, and indispensable was the difference between love and its withdrawal - the reason boundaries are so hard as an adult is not that you are weak. It is that your nervous system learned exactly what it needed to learn to survive the environment you were in.Part 1 of The Good Girl Contract is the foundational episode of a new series. In this episode, Danielle speaks about childhood abuse. Physical and emotional abuse. Punishment for having emotions. Punishment for having needs. Punishment for answering back. The 1980s Australian cultural context in which corporal punishment of children was widespread and culturally sanctioned. From there, the episode widens into the frameworks that make the personal story into a universal one: • Stephen Porges' concept of neuroception - the body's continuous, unconscious scanning of the environment for cues of safety or threat - and what it does to a developing child in an environment where the source of care is also the source of danger. • The reframe that what the wellness and spiritual industries calls empathic sensitivity (or being an "empath")  is, for a specific subset of women, more accurately understood as trained hypervigilance in a nervous system that learned very young that reading other people accurately was the difference between safety and danger. • Harriet Lerner's framework on overfunctioning in relationships and underfunctioning in self-advocacy. The distinction between cultural conditioning, which produced most women's struggle with boundaries, and violently enforced conditioning, which produced a more acute version.The episode lands on the naming of The Contract itself. A set of terms you did not consent to, do not remember signing, and have been operating under, in every relationship you have entered, ever since."What was made can be remade. Because the same nervous system that learned the terms is capable of learning something else. Because the same brain that was shaped by danger can be reshaped by safety. Because the story is not over."This series is a departure from Working As Intended - from the structural argument about the family law system, to the personal architecture underneath the woman navigating it. A content note: this episode contains references to childhood experiences of physical and emotional abuse. No graphic detail. Some listeners may prefer to return to this episode when they have space for the material.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is the structured way through this work - built for protective parents equipping themselves to interrupt the Contract in themselves, so their own children inherit something different. AI Danielle is available any time, any hour. Both at danielleblackcoaching.com.auSupport: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

Credibility is the foundation of effective leadership. A title may create formal authority, but only social legitimation creates genuine followership. In this episode, leadership expert Niels Brabandt explains how decision-makers build credibility, why impartiality matters, how inconsistent treatment undermines trust and what leaders must do when their judgement fails. Using a prominent case from international football as a leadership example, he explores the difference between listening to stakeholders and allowing influence to distort the application of rules. You will learn why credible leadership depends on facts, proof and evidence, how unconscious bias affects organisational decisions, why social legitimation can disappear faster than it is built and how accountability can restore trust after a mistake. This episode is essential listening for executives, board members, senior leaders, HR decision-makers and professionals responsible for organisational culture, governance and change. Niels Brabandt is an international leadership expert, speaker, trainer, coach, consultant and founder of NB Networks. His work focuses on sustainable leadership, organisational change, credibility, psychological safety and evidence-based management.

If you have been listening to our Working As Intended series, and you have been quietly wondering "if lawyers were never trained in what my children need, and I have to bring all of that myself, do I even need a lawyer at all?" - this episode is the rest of the answer.Danielle opens with information that she hasn't shared on the podcast before - the fact that when she was dragged into the court system all those years ago, there was not a lot of money for lawyers. Her stepfather (the person who, in any other circumstances, would have been the ally every self-representing parent hopes to have) was a family law specialist for his entire forty-year career, but could not help her because he was living with an illness that was taking him rapidly from the family. This episode is what she has learned from being on both sides of the self-representation conversation ever since.The episode walks honestly through who actually self-represents in Australian family court, and why access to legal representation in this country is distributed by wealth in a way that should be a source of national shame. It names the category error at the heart of the entire current market - that understanding the legal process is not the same as understanding what to seek within it, and that what to seek is not a legal question at all. It walks through the four capacities self-representation actually requires - time, emotional, nervous system, and educational - most of which are invisible to the products currently being marketed and sold to people navigating separation and divorce. It names the specific trap of guns blazing self-representation, where the absence of a lawyer's tempering influence becomes exposure rather than freedom. And it lands the strategic middle position that most protective parents actually need to be in: "I have a lawyer, and I know how to use them - because I also have a coach."This is also the episode where Danielle positions the Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint directly. Not as a legal-navigation product. Rather, as the knowledge, capacity and advocacy layers that answer the questions that no legal-education product can answer - because it is not a legal question. And it is where she owns, clearly and unapologetically, why not being a lawyer is a strength of her work rather than a stumbling block.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is the structured way through this work - built for protective parents equipping themselves with the substance the legal profession was never required to have. AI Danielle is available any time, any hour. Both at danielleblackcoaching.com.auSupport: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

What if the biggest reason companies miss their long-term goals isn't execution, but the plan itself?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we break down long-range planning (LRP) and why so many corporate strategy plans fail to deliver. While annual budgets focus on the next 12 months and long-term targets inspire investors, a true long-range plan bridges the gap by connecting strategy to financial reality.We explore the difference between budgets, targets, and LRPs, why driver-based financial models are more reliable than simple growth assumptions, and how finance teams build strategic plans that executives can actually use to make decisions. Through real-world examples from Microsoft, Netflix, BlackBerry, and General Electric, we examine how strong long-range planning can drive transformation and how flawed assumptions can lead to corporate decline.

If you've been with Danielle across this series, you now know how the family law system in Australia was built, what its practitioners were and were not trained to know, and how to test whether anyone in the post-separation space is genuinely child-focused. This final episode of Working As Intended brings the arc to ground. You still need a lawyer. You still have to work with these professionals. You can't opt out of the system entirely. So what do you actually do with everything you now know?Part 4 answers that question. Specifically: how to use a lawyer for the things they're genuinely expert in, without deferring to them on the questions they were never trained to answer.The episode names something Danielle has observed and experienced across almost two decades of navigating the system and the post-separation space: many clients of hers who have sought sole parental responsibility - informed, prepared, and willing to hold firm - have been successful. This episode explains why the gap between "my lawyer told me it's very hard to get" and "my clients get it" is not a gap in the law, especially now that the 2024 amendments have actually moved the law in favour of genuinely child-focused reasoning. It is a gap in what the lawyer does not know how to do, and a gap in what the parent brings to the process. Both are closable. One is only closable by you.Danielle also names the feedback loop that keeps the system stuck - the way lawyers' outcome predictions become self-fulfilling when clients defer to them, and the way individual informed parents holding firm slowly reshape what lawyers tell the next parent who sits across from them. Your case is not just your case. When you hold firm, when you bring the knowledge, when you achieve the outcome the developmental science supports and the lawyer said was hard to get, you become a data point. A small, specific contribution to the evidence base that eventually shifts what lawyers tell the next parent.The system was not built to see your children. You were. And in a system that has never been required to prioritise what children need, a parent who arrives knowing exactly what their children need, and why, and how to demonstrate it, is a genuinely powerful force.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is the structured way through this work. Module 17 covers coercive control. Module 19 covers parental alienation. Module 16 is the capacity work. The whole of the Blueprint is built for exactly what this series has been describing - equipping protective parents to bring into the room the knowledge the system never required its practitioners to have.

Tom Stringfellow, chief investment strategist at Argent Trust, says the stock market is going through a shift where small-cap companies are coming to the fore, businesses that are adjacent to artificial intelligence or that will benefit from using it are starting to get an A.I. boost and the warning signs feel mostly like distant storm clouds. Stringfellow says he doesn't see signs of recession, worries slightly about a market overheating if interest rates rise, but he thinks signs that more and more companies are showing earnings growth reducing a lot of potential downward pressure on the market. Ben Carlson, director of institutional asset management at Ritholtz Wealth Management, discusses his new book, "Risk and Reward: How to handle market volatility and build long-term wealth," and how he thinks investors can't simply tune everything out -- even if that might be the best long-term results -- because they have a "firehose of information" in their pockets. He discusses how to best filter that information to make it useful without becoming overwhelming. Meredith Mangan, senior editor at Credible, discusses the site's survey on prediction markets, which showed that 1 in 4 Americans already have made a wager on a prediction-market site. In a wide-ranging study looking at investor habits, she noted that more than 60% of Americans see prediction markets as betting, while just under 30% see them as a viable financial tool.

WELCOME BACK TO THE FANTASY FOOTBALL UNLIMITED PODCAST! One of the goals of Fantasy Football Unlimited is to introduce fantasy football players to the people, brands, and resources helping shape the future of our game.

Micro-credentials have quickly moved from a niche innovation to a central part of how colleges and universities think about workforce alignment, lifelong learning, and student value. But as more institutions launch certificates, badges, and short-form credentials, a critical question remains: what makes a micro-credential ecosystem credible? In this episode of On Campus, Anne Reed, Director of the Office of Micro-Credentials at the University at Buffalo, explores how institutions can design, implement, and scale micro-credentials that deliver real value for students, employers, and institutions. Drawing on her research and professional experience, Anne unpacks what separates high-quality, outcomes-driven programs from those that struggle to gain traction. The conversation explores common strategic missteps, the role of faculty and institutional infrastructure, and the challenge of balancing academic rigor with speed and flexibility. They also dive into how institutions can build employer trust, measure ROI beyond revenue, and move from isolated pilot programs to a sustainable, system-wide approach. Whether you're just getting started or refining an existing strategy, this episode offers practical insights for building micro-credentials that truly work in today's higher education landscape. Links:CITI Program's course on Navigating Online and Hybrid Teaching: https://about.citiprogram.org/course/navigating-online-and-hybrid-teaching/ University of Buffalo, Office of Micro-Credentials: https://www.buffalo.edu/micro-credentials.html 

"Child-focused." Two words that appear on the website of virtually every practitioner in the post-separation space. Every lawyer. Every mediator. Every divorce coach. Every family therapist. Every family report writer. The language is everywhere - and in part 3 of Working As Intended, Danielle walks you through how to tell, in thirty seconds, whether the person using those two words actually has the knowledge they're claiming.This episode widens the lens beyond the legal profession to the entire industry that has built itself around post-separation parenting. It opens on a family doctor advising a mother with serious safety concerns about her ex's capacity to care for their two-year-old to "give him a chance, how else is he going to learn." From there, the episode walks profession by profession - coaching, mediation, post-separation parenting programs, parenting orders programs, family therapy, the professional development circuit - naming what the credential actually requires and what it does not.The episode also introduces an argument Danielle hasn't made publicly before: that family report writers are the load-bearing role for the entire family law system's claim to be child-focused. Every other professional in the system who has not been required to study child development has, in effect, outsourced that requirement to the report writer. If the report writer doesn't have the knowledge either - and there is no uniform requirement that they do - the system has no foundation under any of its claims about children's best interests. A specific anonymised case example - a play therapist identifying a trauma response, a family report writer reading the same presentation as grief - lands the cost in concrete terms.The episode closes with the one question to ask every practitioner in this space, the test that takes thirty seconds and tells you almost everything you need to know about whether you are going to trust them with your children's story.A dedicated standalone episode on family report writers will follow the conclusion of the Working As Intended series.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is the structured way through this work - built for protective parents bringing the knowledge the system never required its practitioners to have. AI Danielle is available any time, any hour. Both at danielleblackcoaching.com.auSupport: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

Tom and Ronnie continue their six-part series highlighting the role of improv in compliance. This series links improv lessons to corporate compliance and some of the key tools and strategies Ronnie has brought from his former world of improv to the corporate compliance communications realm. In today's Improv & Compliance Lesson 5, the lesson focuses on “Truth in Comedy,” linking improv and comedy to ethics and compliance. Tom and Ronnie begin with Gilda Radner's quote, “Humor is just truth only faster.” Feldman argues comedy works because it exposes shared truths, and compliance programs build credibility by being authentic about real issues rather than pretending everything is fine. He recommends sharing speak-up and reporting trends, anonymized investigation outcomes, culture survey results, and what happens after reports to build trust. Feldman suggests using true stories—internal case studies or news examples—told in engaging formats (newsletters, podcasts, interviews, videos, reenactments) to create teachable moments, stressing “don't be boring.” They conclude that truthful, interesting communication and authenticity increase engagement, strengthen training, and improve psychological safety and speak-up culture.

Chuck Todd opens with a wave of primary night results that all point the same direction: Thomas Massie has lost his reelection bid, Trump's grip on the GOP base is as strong as ever, and the president just endorsed Ken Paxton in Texas — a move that's great for Trump personally and disastrous for the Republican Party, which will now have to pour enormous money into a Senate seat that was supposed to be safe. Democrats outvoted Republicans in Georgia, with African-American turnout spiking in the aftermath of the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act — exactly the kind of backlash dynamic that could reshape the entire midterm map. The night's verdict: good for Trump, bad for the GOP. But he argues the deeper, more dangerous story isn't electoral — it's the systematic normalization of corruption that Trump is engineering in plain sight. He's turning the Republican Party into a kleptocracy, selling pardons that erase prison sentences and massive financial penalties, raising prices for ordinary Americans while amassing a personal fortune, and just secured a DOJ get-out-of-jail-free card for his family on tax evasion. The genius of Trump's strategy, Chuck argues, is that he understands corruption can be absorbed into the culture if it carries no meaningful penalty. He reminds listeners that Bill Clinton survived his scandals only because the economy was booming; corruption becomes a voting issue when people's lives get worse, and Trump's policies are now unraveling the American economy at exactly the wrong moment for him. The real warning sits in the structural pattern: once corruption becomes politically survivable, it becomes politically reproducible. Then, Dartmouth political scientist Sean Westwood — director of the Polarization Lab and one of the leading researchers studying why American politics has become so toxic — joins the Chuck Toddcast with a counterintuitive opening argument: America has actually been more polarized in the past than it is now, and polarization itself is a normal feature of democracy. What changed is that the Cold War spent four decades artificially suppressing American polarization by giving the country a unifying external adversary; once the Soviet Union collapsed, the Pat Buchanan wing of the GOP emerged from hibernation and the country returned to its more natural fractious state. The real threat, Westwood argues, isn't disagreement — it's the structural changes that have allowed disagreement to metastasize into something all-consuming. He walks through the menu of possible reforms — ranked choice voting, all-party primaries, stronger party control over nominations — and is refreshingly candid about the tradeoffs: every fix comes with its own problems, moving from a two-party to a multi-party system would be enormously difficult (most multi-party democracies still end up with two dominant parties anyway), and the most realistic reform is simply restoring stronger party control, though Congress will never vote for anything that threatens its own members. The conversation broadens into a sweeping diagnosis of what's actually broken. Westwood argues we're creating a world where if you don't opt-in to politics, you simply won't encounter it — meaning voters increasingly lack the basic information needed to hold elected officials accountable. He warns that any election denialism from one side gives the other side a permission slip to do the same, that America is experiencing more democratic backsliding than most observers want to admit, and that AI-powered microtargeting is about to make the information environment dramatically more disruptive than anything we've seen so far. Westwood identifies the Senate's malapportionment as the single most destructive feature of American politics, and observes that interracial marriage used to be the great cultural wedge before being replaced by raw partisanship — meaning partisan identity has now absorbed every other source of social division. He notes that Democrats have created litmus tests that will never win in rural America and that many modern legislators simply don't have governing skills but are very good at getting attention because humans are predisposed to focus on threat and conflict. Westwood's most haunting closing observation: telling voters they no longer live in a democracy can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that's a risk both sides need to take far more seriously than they currently do.

Mukhtar Kadiri: The Three Qualities That Separate Great Product Owners From Those Who Just Drop Tickets The Great Product Owner: Decisive, Versatile, and Credible at Every Level Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "This person could hold his own at any level of the organization — with executives, with engineering leadership, and with the team." - Mukhtar Kadiri   Mukhtar describes the best product owner he ever worked with through three distinct qualities. First, this person could operate at any level — equally comfortable in a strategic conversation with executives and in a tactical session with the engineering team. Second, they had vast cross-functional knowledge. They weren't a specialist in any one domain, but they could hold intelligent, credible conversations with marketing, go-to-market, customer success, and engineering alike. And third — perhaps most critically — they were decisive. In ambiguous environments where nobody has done this before, teams need someone who will pick a direction and say "let's find out," even if the decision might be wrong. That decisiveness, combined with the ability to course-correct early, is what separates great product owners from those who leave teams waiting for direction that never comes.   Self-reflection Question: Which of these three qualities — operating at any level, cross-functional credibility, or decisiveness — is strongest in your product owner, and which one needs the most development? The Bad Product Owner: Not Owning the Backlog Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "If you don't have a strong product person, engineering just takes over the backlog. And that is dangerous, because it's product that is the representative of the customers." - Mukhtar Kadiri   Mukhtar has seen it happen repeatedly: when a product owner doesn't truly own the backlog, a strong engineering lead steps in and takes over prioritization by default. Things still get built — often beautiful, technically elegant solutions — but they don't produce business value because engineering lacks the customer intimacy that product should bring. The fix isn't simple, but Mukhtar identifies three levers. First, mentorship — pairing a junior product person with a more senior one to build confidence and skills. Second, building technical literacy — a product owner who can't meet engineering halfway will always be seen as an outsider dropping tickets. And third, closing the relationship gap between product and engineering. As Mukhtar points out, a product owner is technically a part of the team, but if the team doesn't feel like they're a part of the team, that gap becomes a chasm. There needs to be real overlap between engineering and product — not just shared meetings, but shared understanding.   Self-reflection Question: Is your product owner truly a member of the team — or are they just someone who shows up to drop tickets and disappear until the next sprint planning?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Have you ever received terrible advice from a "successful" investor or mentor? In this episode, Igor Taber explains why taking advice from VCs who built companies a decade ago might actually destroy your startup. Because the market has drastically changed, relying on outdated experience makes these investors "credible and wrong"—the most dangerous combination in the startup world. We also dive into the insane $1.7 trillion AI investment bubble , why giving non-technical founders AI coding tools is like giving them a bazooka , and the truth about how top VC firms actually generate deal flow through cold outreach.

The repeated attacks on Jewish infrastructure over the past few weeks has led to the opening of a Met police counter terrorism investigation into whether the events are linked. In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to Jonathan Hall KC, the senior barrister responsible for reviewing the UK government's terrorism and state threats legislation. The two discuss how the law distinguishes hate crimes from terrorist acts, why the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the military wing of the Iranian regime, is not currently proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government, and whether the normalising of extremism is more worrying than extremism itself.

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.Joining us on this week's show:Based in Grants Pass, Oregon, Mark Horban is a dedicated Bigfoot researcher who balances a disciplined, analytical approach with a lifelong passion for the unexplained. After a distinguished 37-year career in healthcare, Horban transitioned his focus from the clinical environment of a hospital to the rugged wilderness of Southwest Oregon. His research is driven by two pivotal experiences: a harrowing 1980s encounter on a snowy ridge and a sophisticated 2025 summer investigation where thermal imaging revealed evidence of coordinated activity. By bridging the gap between historical sightings and modern technology, Horban continues to explore the Oregon backcountry to document and understand these elusive creatures.Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

Tune in to learn how owned and earned media work together, why generic content falls flat, and what communicators can do now to become the obvious answer.
