In this episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Rabbi Avi Landa, LCPC, Mashgiach at the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore Middle School, Director of Education for Amudim, and Director of the Landa Counseling Center, to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing children and teens today: bullying. Drawing on his work in schools, private practice, and prevention programs worldwide, Rabbi Landa breaks down what bullying actually is (and isn't), why simplistic zero-tolerance approaches often fail, and how power dynamics and repeated behavior can deeply impact a child's sense of self. The conversation moves from theory to real, practical guidance for parents, educators, and communities: how to respond when your child is being bullied, when your child is the bully, and how empathy-driven intervention and education can genuinely change outcomes. We also explore the broader role of social-emotional learning in building healthier schools and safer communities.

Two cases. One attorney who has prosecuted murder and defended against it. Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break down the institutional failures in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation and the aggressive Supreme Court oral arguments in the Alex Murdaugh appeal.In the Guthrie case, eleven days without a suspect have exposed a pattern of decisions by Sheriff Nanos that could compromise any future prosecution — from the premature crime scene release to the five-hour grounding of thermal imaging aircraft to ten days of calling critical footage permanently lost when the FBI found it in backend data. The family is communicating with the alleged kidnappers through Instagram rather than through law enforcement. The FBI released surveillance footage through Director Patel's personal X account. A man was detained in Rio Rico and released without charges. Faddis walks through the legal exposure on both sides — what the investigative failures mean for civil liability and what a prosecutor has to build a chargeable case from.In the Murdaugh appeal, the South Carolina Supreme Court justices directed pointed questioning at the state. Becky Hill's perjury conviction has rewritten the jury tampering issue. The chief justice challenged the state on Rule 404(b) and the unchecked flow of financial crime evidence at trial. With no eyewitnesses, no weapons, and no biological transfer evidence, the defense argues the state's case may not survive if the financial testimony falls. Faddis reads the bench and identifies where this is heading.#NancyGuthrie #AlexMurdaugh #EricFaddis #GuthrieCase #MurdaughAppeal #SheriffNanos #BeckyHill #SCSupremeCourt #HiddenKillersPodcast #InstitutionalFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are not many aspects this week.There is only… everything.We are in the thick of endings. Not tidy endings. Not Instagram-quote endings. The kind that feel like collapse. The kind that feel like crisis. The kind that ask you to sit very still in the dark and listen.This is eclipse week.This is the first Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries.This is the Year of the Fire Horse.Bold action. Rapid innovation. Dramatic societal change. Spiritual acceleration.You may not see mass awakening on the surface.But I assure you — it is happening.The old world is cracking. And when systems crack, nervous systems feel it first.So this week is not about performance.It is about listening.

The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is now generating as many questions as the crime itself. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers Live to break apart the investigative decisions that could define — or destroy — any future prosecution.Sheriff Nanos released the crime scene early and sent his team back in days later. His thermal imaging Cessna — the single best tool for locating a person in the Arizona desert — sat on the ground for five hours because the pilot had been pulled from the unit months earlier as punishment in a dispute with the sheriff. The deputies' union president has gone on record criticizing the department's response. A county supervisor has publicly questioned the handling of the case. The sheriff was photographed at an Arizona Wildcats basketball game during the active search.For ten days, the department told the family and the public that the Nest doorbell camera footage was permanently unrecoverable. Then the FBI pulled it from backend data. If the most important piece of evidence in the case existed the entire time and the department didn't know it, every decision made during that window is now suspect.Faddis draws on years of prosecuting first-degree murder and defending criminal cases to explain where honest investigative mistakes end and actionable negligence begins. He addresses the legal consequences of the premature scene release, the chain of custody problems created by multiple re-entries, the sheriff's retracted statement to NBC News, and — bypassing law enforcement entirely — reveals about their confidence in the people running this case.This is an investigation being second-guessed in real time by the people closest to it. Faddis explains what that means if this case ever reaches a courtroom.#NancyGuthrie #GuthrieKidnapping #SheriffNanos #InvestigativeFailure #EricFaddis #GroundedAircraft #FBIFootage #HiddenKillersLive #TrueCrime #CatalinaFoothillsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tara dives into a growing cultural shift: Gen Z is delaying — or outright skipping — getting a driver's license. Once seen as the ultimate symbol of teenage freedom, driving is now considered expensive, stressful, and even dangerous by many young people. With licensing rates dropping from nearly half of all teens in the 1980s to just a quarter today, Tara explores whether this trend reflects maturity, fear, economic reality, or a deeper societal change. From personal stories and listener reactions to debates about road safety and age requirements, this episode asks a bigger question — should sixteen-year-olds even be driving at all? ⚡ PRIMARY TALKING POINTS The sharp decline in teen driver's licenses Why Gen Z is waiting longer — cost, fear, online lifestyles Uber and rideshare culture reshaping independence Personal stories of teen driving anxiety and close calls Are younger drivers less prepared than previous generations? Debate: Should the legal driving age be raised? Listener texts — nostalgia vs. modern caution Regional safety concerns and dangerous driving environments

Why do so many people feel lonely, burned out, and disconnected—even in a hyper-connected world? Author and journalist Jennifer Wallace joins Mosheh to unpack what she sees as a root cause behind today's mental health, workplace, and social crises: a growing lack of mattering. In her new book, '⁠Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose⁠,' Wallace argues that feeling valued for who we are, and knowing we add value to others, is a fundamental human need. She explains how technology, distraction, and achievement-driven culture have hollowed out relationships, contributing to loneliness, burnout, disengagement at work, and rising social anger. The conversation discusses tips for reversing that trend, and also explores parenting and leadership, including why kids and adults thrive when they feel they matter at home and at work, and how small, everyday moments of attention and appreciation can rebuild connection.  Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.

Sixty percent of American adults live with a chronic illness. Consequently, upwards of 53 million adults have assumed uncompensated caregiving roles—frequently alongside existing professional and personal obligations. As these demands intensify, the absence of mental health infrastructure and the persistence of social devaluation lead many toward the brink of caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue. To better understand the state of spousal caregiver mental health, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Laura Mauldin, PhD, an Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Critical Inquiry at the University of Connecticut Laura draws from personal experience and years of research to share statistics and real-life examples of caregivers who find themselves at the intersection of their responsibilities and their human needs. Her book offers insights into those who provide essential support to those they love during a time of anti-ableism. Like what you're hearing? WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron offer a deep theological analysis of the recent controversy surrounding a Truth Social post by Donald Trump that included racist imagery depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Rather than reacting with partisan outrage, Nathan and Cameron examine the Christian responses that followed—particularly within evangelical circles—and ask what this moment reveals about culture war thinking, political idolatry, truth-telling, and the prophetic witness of the Church. Engaging broader conversations shaped by figures like Alyssa Childers and Russell Moore, they challenge believers to consider how loyalty, power, and fear can subtly distort moral clarity. This episode is for Christians seeking serious theological reflection on current events, wrestling with how to speak truth faithfully in a polarized age, and discerning what it means to follow Christ—not a party—in the public square.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Oregon's subsidized child care program, Employment Related Day Care (ERDC), is on course to run out of money in less than a year.

Apagones, largas filas delante de las farmacias, aviones sin combustible y la sensación de que lo peor está por venir: así se presenta la doble crisis energética y humanitaria en Cuba, país que está en la mira de Washington. La administración Trump planea un cambio en la isla y las negociaciones ya habrían empezado. Desde La Habana, una investigadora nos describe la crisis energética y sanitaria. Aprovechando que no había corte de electricidad, entrevistamos a una investigadora del Centro Cristiano de Reflexión y Diálogo, la socióloga Mayra Paula Espinosa Prieto. Desde La Habana, da a RFI un panorama de la doble crisis energética y humanitaria que vive la isla. “El petróleo cubano no es de mucha calidad” “El petróleo cubano no es de mucha calidad, es un petróleo muy denso y se usa para generar energía, pero en realidad con ese petróleo digamos que se puede producir alrededor del 50% de la energía eléctrica que el país necesita. Conclusión, estamos en una situación bien complicada”, explica Espinosa Prieto a RFI. “Inmediatamente que Trump hizo el anuncio del peligro que significaba Cuba y las nuevas medidas, el precio del saco de carbón, hay muchas familias que cocinan con carbón, casi se duplicó de un día para otro. El cuadro de medicamentos básicos está en alrededor del 60%, es decir, que hay un 40% de medicamentos que están en falta. Entonces, cuando hay un sistema de racionamiento para enfermedades crónicas, la gente hace cola frente a las farmacias el día que llegan esos medicamentos”, agrega. “Entrampados entre esas dos corrientes” A la pregunta de por qué la crisis en Cuba se ha acelerado en los últimos tiempos, la socióloga cubana nos responde que “la crisis es larga, pero digamos, el post COVID ha sido una etapa muy dura, muy dura. El país no ha podido remontar todos los efectos de la pandemia sobre la economía y sobre la sociedad, entre otras cosas porque el hostigamiento norteamericano es muy fuerte, y porque, a mi modo de ver y de otros colegas que trabajan estos temas económicos y sociales, no se han impulsado realmente los cambios necesarios que permitirían reflotar la economía o al menos abrir nuevas opciones”. “Creo que hemos llegado a esta situación en una combinación muy complicada de una hostilidad extrema de los Estados Unidos que ha venido incrementándose, y fallas internas de política que no encontraron el rumbo ni dieron la dinámica necesaria para crear oportunidades para la sociedad cubana. Y ahora estamos como entrampados entre esas dos corrientes”, concluye.

Episode SummaryIn this bonus episode, helicopter pilot Adele returns to share deeper reflections on kindness, fear, emotional intelligence, and crisis management in aviation and life. She talks about why her ideal billboard would simply say “Be kind to each other,” opens up about her fear of public speaking despite a high‑risk job, and describes a pivotal in‑flight engine incident that she calls the day she “actually became a pilot.” The conversation explores expectations placed on pilots, the importance of crew resource management, and how self‑kindness and knowing your own reactions under pressure can transform both work and life.Key TakeawaysKindness matters more than we thinkAdele's billboard message would be “Be kind to each other”, highlighting how many problems come from a lack of empathy and taking time to understand others.Kindness isn't just outward-facing—being kind to yourself is crucial for growth and confidence.Public speaking can be scarier than extreme physical riskDespite being a helicopter pilot, Adele finds public speaking and situations where she might embarrass herself more terrifying than skydiving.Confidence in speaking is a muscle that needs practice, even for people who seem naturally comfortable on stage or on mic.Travel, beauty, and environmental realityAdele loves Indonesia for its culture, people, and nature, calling it a turning point in her life.She also notes the shocking plastic pollution, with “confetti beaches” where sand is largely plastic.Canada still pulls at her heart, especially the mountains—but brutal winters make her unsure about moving back full-time.Helicopter flying: range, routes, and fearsMost helicopters can fly 2–2.5 hours on one tank, continuing as long as there are fuel stops.Ocean crossings are possible via staged routes (e.g., via Iceland), but Adele is not a fan of flying over open water.Wildfire flying as a future goalAdele is interested in moving into wildfire fighting operations, including vertical reference and longline work, to help communities affected by fires.Misconceptions and expectations of pilotsPeople often don't expect Adele to be the pilot, and treat her differently once they find out what she does.There's a strong image of what a pilot “should” look and act like, which she doesn't fit, and she's always balancing authenticity with professional expectations.Emotional intelligence and crew dynamics save livesAdele explains crew resource management (CRM) and why “soft skills” like communication, feedback, and trust are actually critical safety skills.She discusses the danger of authority gradients where co‑pilots are too afraid to challenge captains, sometimes with fatal consequences.Good crews balance clear leadership with genuine openness, so everyone feels able to speak up.The day she “actually became a pilot”Adele shares a detailed story of an engine malfunction in a Sikorsky 76, flying single-pilot from remote fishing lodges.She had to manage power, monitor for fire, navigate terrain, communicate with ATC, and land safely on one engine, all while alone and out of radio range for part of the flight.That incident proved to her she could rely on her training under pressure and shaped her identity as a pilot.How helicopters land if the engine failsAdele breaks down autorotation: using rotor inertia and airflow so the helicopter can still be controlled and landed without power.With training, pilots can pick a spot, flare, and land with control, rather than “falling like a rock.”Crisis responses and self-awarenessBoth discuss how people react in crises—fight, flight, or freeze—and the importance of knowing your own default.Michelle reflects that she's often very effective in real crises, even if she feels chaotic day to day.Self-kindness as a dareFor her personal “dare,” Adele commits to being kinder to herself, acknowledging she is her own worst critic.With constant negativity in the world, she wants to focus on positive actions and impact.

Solemos asociar las listas de espera con objetos de lujo extremo o superdeportivos de edición limitada. Sin embargo, la historia del automóvil nos revela una realidad muy distinta: en muchas ocasiones, el coche más deseado no ha sido el que más corre, sino aquel que simplemente no se podía fabricar al ritmo que la sociedad lo necesitaba. Desde la necesidad más básica de movilidad hasta el consumo impulsivo, hoy recorremos las historias de aquellos vehículos que agotaron la paciencia de generaciones enteras. La estafa del sueño alemán: El KdF-Wagen (1938) Antes de que el mundo lo conociera como el Volkswagen Escarabajo, nació como el KdF-Wagen. El gobierno nazi ideó un sistema de ahorro mediante el cual los obreros pegaban sellos de 5 marcos en una cartilla semanal. La promesa era sencilla: al completar el pago de 990 marcos, recibirían su vehículo. Utilidad social frente al dinero: Citroën 2CV (1948) Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Francia necesitaba moverse. El Citroën 2CV, despreciado inicialmente por la prensa, se convirtió en un éxito absoluto entre la población rural. La lista de espera alcanzó los seis años, pero lo fascinante fue el criterio de entrega. Pierre-Jules Boulanger, director de Citroën, instauró una selección ética: se dio prioridad absoluta a parteras, veterinarios, médicos rurales y agricultores. El Rastrojero: Orgullo e ingenio argentino (1952) En Argentina, la falta de divisas para importar vehículos llevó a la creación del Rastrojero. Fabricado por la estatal IAME utilizando motores de tractores sobrantes de Estados Unidos, este vehículo se convirtió en el símbolo del trabajo en la Pampa. Su dureza y fiabilidad generaron una demanda tan masiva que las listas de espera se contaban por años. El SEAT 600 y la picaresca española (1957) El 600 fue el motor de la libertad para España, pero la fábrica de la Zona Franca en Barcelona no podía seguir el ritmo del país. Para entrar en la lista de espera, que superaba los dos años, había que adelantar una fianza de 20.000 pesetas. Esto dio lugar a un fenómeno muy particular: el mercado secundario de "turnos". Quienes recibían la notificación de entrega y no podían o no querían el coche, vendían su derecho a compra a precios desorbitados. El Ford Mustang y la histeria americana (1964) En Estados Unidos, el lanzamiento del Mustang no generó una lista de espera convencional, sino una auténtica fiebre colectiva. Ford esperaba vender 100.000 unidades en un año; vendieron 22.000 el primer día. Los concesionarios vivieron escenas de caos absoluto, con clientes durmiendo dentro de los coches de exposición para evitar que otros se los llevaran. El Trabant 601: Una vida entera esperando (1964) En la República Democrática Alemana, la economía planificada llevó el concepto de espera al extremo del absurdo. El Trabant, con su carrocería de duroplast y motor de dos tiempos, tenía una lista de espera de entre 12 y 17 años. Esto creó una economía invertida: un Trabant usado costaba el doble que uno nuevo, simplemente porque el usado estaba disponible de inmediato. Crisis del petróleo y el Honda Civic (1973) Cuando la crisis del petróleo de 1973 golpeó a Occidente, los enormes motores V8 americanos se volvieron insostenibles. Honda apareció con el Civic, un coche que "gastaba como un mechero". La demanda fue tal que los concesionarios en EE.UU. introdujeron los "Market Adjustments": sobreprecios de hasta el 40% que los clientes pagaban sin rechistar con tal de no seguir arruinándose en las gasolineras. Mercedes-Benz W123: El taxi que no se devaluaba (1976) El antecesor del Clase E fue víctima de su propia excelencia. Su reputación de indestructible hizo que la lista de espera oficial en Alemania llegara a los tres años. Al igual que ocurrió con el Trabant, pero en un mercado libre, los ejemplares con un año de uso se vendían más caros que los nuevos en el concesionario. La lotería nacional del Nissan Figaro (1991) En el Japón de la burbuja económica, Nissan lanzó el Figaro, un pequeño descapotable de diseño retro. La previsión era de 8.000 unidades, pero recibieron 300.000 solicitudes. Ante la imposibilidad de gestionar una lista de espera de décadas, la marca optó por una solución salomónica: sortear el derecho a compra. Toyota Land Cruiser 300: El reto del siglo XXI (2021) Incluso hoy, con toda nuestra capacidad industrial, el deseo sigue superando a la oferta. El lanzamiento del Land Cruiser 300, sumado a la crisis de microchips, provocó esperas de cuatro años.

Hello! I'm back from paternity leave just in time to talk about the biggest media earthquake of the year (so far): the Washington Post meltdown. For decades, the Post was a journalistic gem with superior coverage of politics. Last week, billionaire owner Jeff Bezos decided to gut roughly a third of the staff after the paper lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the last few years. Today's guest is Jim VandeHei, the cofounder of Politico and Axios and a former Post reporter. We talk about the decades-long rise and fall of the Post before zooming out to talk about the most important changes in news media over the past 20 years, the secret of 21st-century media success, and the coming storm of AI.

From the BBC World Service: Cuba's tourism industry suffered a major blow after dozens of flights were cancelled because of a lack of aviation fuel; Air Canada, which flies many tourists to the Caribbean island, suspended flights because of the shortages. Plus, British department store Harrods said more than 180 survivors of abuse by the store's former owner, Mohamed Al-Fayed, are currently engaged in its compensation scheme. And later, could 2026 be the year high-powered electric motorcycles go mainstream?

This is an audio essay from my Substack, Process This. Look, I wasn't planning to write 5,000 words on Steve Bannon, but then he goes on his podcast and announces that ICE—the same agency that just shot two American citizens in Minneapolis—is going to "surround the polls" in November, and I couldn't help myself. So I went back to Reinhold Niebuhr's 1944 book The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness, where he divided the political world into naive idealists who think reason and dialogue will save us, and moral cynics who understand power but recognize no law beyond their own will. Turns out Niebuhr basically wrote Bannon's biography eighty years early. This essay traces how Bannon evolved from "flooding the zone with shit" to proposing armed federal agents at polling places—and why liberals kept bringing fact-checks to a knife fight. Niebuhr called the children of darkness "wise" because they understand self-interest, but he also called them "evil" because they serve no good beyond domination. The question he leaves us with is whether the children of light can get wise without losing their souls. Spoiler: he doesn't promise we win. PS. I was in the middle of writing a completely different essay on Niebuhr before Bannon interrupted me. I loved re-reading The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness⁠ recently, and it's way too timely. ⁠You can subscribe to the Audio Essay podcast feed here.⁠⁠ ⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠UPCOMING ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth?

Hamilton reflects on leading FEMA during a politically volatile period and ultimately being removed by leadership at the Department of Homeland Security. Rather than framing the moment as personal grievance, he uses it to explain a deeper institutional problem: when messaging, authority, and strategy are misaligned at the top, disaster response becomes collateral damage. The discussion breaks down how inconsistent talking points between DHS, FEMA, and the White House create confusion, erode workforce morale, and weaken public trust. Hamilton shares firsthand stories—including a powerful moment in a FEMA call center—illustrating the human cost of political rhetoric on frontline employees who are simply trying to help disaster survivors. John and Cameron also explore: - Why modern crisis communications often fail in government - The danger of reform-by-headline without operational understanding - How leadership ego and interagency friction quietly undermine response - Why incentives and performance culture matter more than broad bureaucratic attacks - The importance of anticipating second- and third-order effects before speaking publicly This episode does not argue that FEMA is broken. It argues that FEMA is being placed in a structurally difficult position by leadership conflict above the agency. The result is a political disaster layered on top of real disasters—one that affects responders, survivors, and public confidence alike. The conversation closes by setting up the next episode in the series: if this is the problem, what would real reform actually look like?

Gareth Soloway exposes what he calls the "hidden technical handwriting on the wall"—a series of unmistakable chart formations signaling that markets are topping and a major corrective phase is imminent. Speaking from his methodology as a pure technician, Soloway dissects the S&P's decade-long parallel channel that has held since COVID, now pressing against an unbreakable 7100 ceiling. "The market is telling us there is downside ahead," he warns, mapping a 12–13% pullback that would erase six months of gains. He then pivots to silver, where he identifies the precise moment the trade turned from orderly accumulation into dangerous, vertical euphoria. "That's the emotion," he says. "And it has to get taken out." Soloway targets $50–$54 as his long-term physical buying zone, calling it a retest of "the scene of the crime."✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.
