Podcasts about Criticism

Don't let "criticism" stop you from being great.

In this episode, Dave answers four powerful questions that touch on parenting, criticism, discipline, and faith. He shares how he handles people who don't like him or disagree with his message, why refusing to engage with petty behavior is a strategic decision, and what it really means to grow in your relationship with God when life doesn't suddenly get easier.

The way you critique games says far more about your thinking, your communication, and even your relationships than you might realize. In this episode, we break down what good criticism actually looks like, why so many people approach it the wrong way, and how learning to critique art properly can genuinely improve your life. From heated online debates to everyday conversations, the skills behind thoughtful criticism are the same skills that help you communicate clearly, avoid pointless arguments, and build healthier relationships. We explore: How to critique games (and any art) without falling into bad‑faith arguments Why people confuse emotional reactions with actual analysis The difference between “I didn't like it” and “It's bad” How poor critique habits spill into your real life How better critical thinking makes you a better partner, friend, and creator Why learning to argue well is a life skill, not just a gaming skill How to approach art with curiosity instead of defensiveness Why improving your critique skills helps you understand yourself If you've ever wondered why game discussions get so heated, or how to break out of the cycle of bad takes, misunderstandings, and unproductive arguments, this episode gives you the tools to level up your thinking in games and in life.

1. Criticism of Democratic Leaders on Law Enforcement Barack Obama, Gavin Newsom, and other Democratic figures are hostile toward law enforcement agencies, particularly ICE and National Guard deployments. Obama is quoted as describing some federal agents’ actions as “rogue,” which the speakers interpret as an attack on ICE. Gavin Newsom is criticized for comments comparing masked federal agents to authoritarian “secret police,” specifically referencing imagery associated with Germany’s past. Newsom’s claim that National Guard federalization was unprecedented. President Eisenhower’s 1957 use of federal authority to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. Newsom is “historically illiterate,” which later triggers a public Twitter exchange. 2. Newsom’s Response and the Dyslexia Angle Newsom accuses Ted Cruz of mocking his dyslexia. Cruz responds that “historically illiterate” referred to misunderstanding history, not reading ability. A social‑media back‑and‑forth unfolds, including jokes, memes, and comparisons of engagement statistics. Obama is: Highly partisan, Influential on younger progressive Democrats, Associated with cultural or “Marxist” ideological trends (as described by the speakers), Possibly influential behind the scenes during the Biden administration. Obama’s presidency contributed to increased political division. 3. Discussion of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Behavior Carlson has changed significantly since leaving Fox News. Anti‑Israel sentiment Hosting extremist guests Favoring authoritarians such as Putin or Iranian leadership Attacking Christian Zionists He may have ulterior financial or ideological motivations (while acknowledging no direct evidence).

What if dying is not an ending, but a moment of radical clarity? In his new novel "Vigil," George Saunders conjures a strange and often comic world of bickering angels visiting a dying, deeply flawed man—debating and waiting to see whether he can face the truth about himself before it's too late.In this conversation, Steve Paulson talks with Saunders about the evolution of his ideas about death and the possibility of an afterlife. Dying, he says, may be “the ultimate experience of wonder,” and he believes ghost stories can open powerful imaginative spaces for novelists. Saunders reflects on his own Buddhist practice as he considers these life-and-death questions, and he tells us why he thinks fiction is uniquely suited to grappling with complex moral issues and why Tolstoy and Chekhov are his personal sources of inspiration.Saunders is the author of such celebrated books as “Tenth of December,” “Pastoralia,” and the Booker Prize-winning “Lincoln in the Bardo.”  His nonfiction book about the great Russian writers is “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.”This interview was recorded at the Central Library in downtown Madison shortly before Saunders spoke at the Wisconsin Book Festival.— To the Best of Our Knowledge — On his short story collection “Tenth of December.  To the Best of Our Knowledge: Reflecting on “Lincoln in the Bardo.” Substack Story Club with George Saunders —00:00:00 Introduction and Reading from Vigil00:07:50 The Plane Crash and Death Obsession00:15:00 The Writing Process and Wonder00:24:30 Moral Accountability in Fiction00:32:20 Chekhov, Succession, and Accuracy00:40:00 Kindness, Criticism, and Final Thoughts Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

1. Claims about U.S. immigration and corruption The U.S. has historically admitted immigrants from countries labeled as “highly corrupt” by Transparency International. Examples mentioned include South Sudan, Somalia, Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, among others. Vetting immigrants from these countries is “nearly impossible” due to poor record‑keeping, bribery, and document fraud. 2. Reference to Trump administration policies Donald Trump previously restricted immigration from certain nations via executive orders. These restrictions were due to corruption concerns and an inability to verify documents from those regions. 3. Criticism of the Biden administration The Biden administration continued issuing visas to individuals from these “corrupt” nations, citing specific visa numbers (e.g., Venezuelan admissions). Allowing potentially unvetted migrants into the U.S. 4. Concerns about fraudulent documents Applicants in corrupt nations can obtain fake documents—birth certificates, police records, passports, diplomas—via bribes. This is presented as a major risk to U.S. vetting systems. 5. Political commentary on Democratic leaders Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Gavin Newsom are criticized for acknowledging migration problems while also condemning Trump’s approach. Democrats are both: admitting migration has become “destabilizing” and simultaneously criticizing U.S. border enforcement agencies. 6. Claims of “chaos” caused by Democratic policies The narrative argues that Democrats created disorder at the border and in U.S. cities. The author asserts Trump is “cleaning up the mess” and that this angers political opponents. 7. Accusations of unfair comparisons to authoritarian regimes Democrats comparing U.S. immigration enforcement agencies to authoritarian “secret police” or Nazi‑like forces.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Hakeem Jeffries is the George Wallace of our time – he opposes the principle of one person, one vote. Blue states like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Mexico have used redistricting to minimize or eliminate Republican representation, creating districts where Republican votes effectively don't count. This practice is unconstitutional, denies equal voting rights regardless of race or gender and allows federal courts to do nothing. Also, Virginia is beginning to criminalize opposition to Islam due to growing Islamist influence in Northern Virginia, where Democrats collaborate closely with Islamists on issues like zoning, school curricula, and employment. Sen Saddam Azim Salem is prioritizing a bill defining Islamophobia as a form of assault and battery, arguing it is redundant given existing hate crime enhancements that cover assaults based on religion, race, ethnicity, and other factors. Do these protections apply equally to all groups? Afterward, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton trash our country overseas because they hate our country.  While our brave and patriotic military personnel stationed overseas are protecting the free world, they give aid and comfort to our enemies. And none of them have done anything for the betterment of our country. Later, tomorrow is the premiere of Mark's new video podcast - Liberty's Voice. This will complement the radio show and Fox TV program, aiming to expand reach, overlap audiences, and amplify the message.  Finally, Lt Gov Dan Patrick calls in to explains that Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission.  No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue.

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed California on to a new clean energy agreement with the U.K. which has again earned him the criticism of President Trump. For more, KCBS Radio News Anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

1. Democratic Candidates Struggle on Foreign Policy At the Munich Security Conference, AOC, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom are portrayed as unprepared on major foreign‑policy questions. AOC gives vague and confused answers regarding whether the U.S. should defend Taiwan against China. Whitmer appears unsure when asked what “victory” in Ukraine looks like, deflecting the question to an ambassador. Commentary suggests this reflects a broader weakness in foreign‑policy understanding among potential 2028 Democratic contenders. 2. Criticism of Far‑Left Ideology The intellectual foundation of the far left is hollow compared to past decades. They claim AOC’s comments reflect ideological simplicity, reliance on identity politics, and lack of deep geopolitical knowledge. Suggestion that cultural Marxism and DEI-style frameworks have replaced rigorous foreign‑policy thought. 3. AOC’s Israel Comments AOC is criticized for saying U.S. aid to Israel should be conditioned and alleging Israel committed “genocide” in Gaza. The hosts argue her position is ideologically driven and historically insensitive, especially when stated in Germany. They also claim Hamas statements contradict the genocide narrative. 4. Predictions About 2028 Politics: AOC will likely run for president. Chuck Schumer may encourage her to do so to avoid competing with her for Senate. If AOC runs, Mondaire Jones / Mondami (context suggests a progressive challenger) could run for Schumer’s Senate seat. 5. Obama’s Recent Commentary Barack Obama is criticized for: Calling certain ICE actions “rogue behavior.” Comparing Republican messaging to demagoguery while presenting Democrats as unifying. Hosts claim Obama is historically partisan and argue many current Democratic positions stem from his ideological influence. 6. Claims That Democrats Are Anti‑Law‑Enforcement Gavin Newsom is accused of comparing American law enforcement to “secret police.” The hosts argue Democrats are reviving rhetoric similar to segregation‑era resistance to federal authority. 7. U.S. Foreign Policy Under Obama and Biden Allegations that Obama and Biden’s foreign policy empowered Iran and weakened global deterrence. Claim that U.S. ambiguity over Taiwan is mishandled by the left. 8. Potomac River Sewage Issue Over 1 billion gallons of wastewater spilled into the Potomac. Washington, DC officials say repairs will take up to nine months, criticized as incompetence in government management. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s Senate Testimony Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was questioned in the Senate regarding alleged failures to prevent and address large‑scale fraud in the state’s Feeding Our Future program. Senators—primarily Josh Hawley—accused Ellison of: Ignoring whistleblower warnings as early as 2018–2019. Meeting with individuals later indicted for fraud and allegedly offering to “look into” investigators who were scrutinizing them. Accepting approximately $10,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to the fraud shortly after their meeting. Ellison strongly denied wrongdoing, describing the claims as false and politically motivated. The session was tense, marked by interruptions, raised voices, and confrontational exchanges. 2. Refusal to Condemn Louis Farrakhan During questioning, Ellison declined to explicitly condemn antisemitic statements attributed to Louis Farrakhan. He attempted to redirect discussion to immigration topics, expressing discomfort with the line of questioning. 3. Democrats Linked to Record Sewage Spill Democratic officials in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia oversaw infrastructure failures leading to the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. A burst 72‑inch sewer pipe released nearly one billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. Criticism is directed at: Lack of media coverage. Slow response times. Infrastructure mismanagement. Emergency pumps had to be transported from Texas and Florida to address the crisis. 4. Discussion of Government Competence Democratic‑run cities and states mismanage public systems (snow removal, wildfire mitigation, infrastructure maintenance, etc.). They argue such patterns reflect systemic governmental incompetence. 5. Save America Act & Voter ID Debate The Save America Act, passed in the House with near‑unanimous Republican support, requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Senator Ted Cruz advocates for aggressive procedural tactics in the Senate, including: Forcing a “talking filibuster.” Using the two‑speech rule to pressure Democratic senators. The argument made: voter ID laws are widely supported across political and demographic groups. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Narrative verse, or poems that tell a story, has existed for millennia, yet the mode of writing has been neglected by literary publishers, editors, and critics in our own time. This anthology reestablishes the vital relationship of narrative verse to a contemporary readership of poetry. It presents a wide range of specimens from twenty-eight poets who were born since World War II and who published their narrative poems over the past fifty years. Featured poets include Rita Dove, Christian Wiman, Alberto Rios, A. E. Stallings, Bob Dylan, Daniel Mark Epstein, David Mason, Mary Jo Salter, and Dana Gioia, and other exemplary practitioners of the form. In these poems, character, plot, and dialogue turn up as readily as in prose fiction. As John Dryden wrote of Chaucer's works, “Here is God's plenty.” Anecdote, fable, myth, biography, thriller, Western, ghost story―these are among the many different genres of tale collected by poet-critic Sunil Iyengar, who introduces each poet and the anthology itself. Sunil Iyengar is the author of a poetry chapbook, A Call from the Shallows (Finishing Line Press). His poems and/or book reviews have appeared in such periodicals as The New Criterion, Literary Matters, New Verse Review, PN Review, Essays in Criticism, The American Scholar, The Hopkins Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Washington Post. He lives outside Washington, D.C., where he works as an arts research director. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network.

"Couples often ignore each other's emotional needs out of mindlessness, not malice." - Dr. John Gottman   Summary Let's take an honest look at how communication breaks down in busy marriages and what you can do to stop it. Most couples don't ignore each other out of malice, but out of exhaustion, distraction, and rushed daily life. In this episode, we unpack why communication is essential for growth and connection, and how unspoken assumptions quickly lead to misunderstandings. Drawing on Dr. John Gottman's research, we break down the Four Horsemen of Communication -  criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling, and explain how they quietly damage relationships. More importantly, we share practical antidotes to each one, along with simple habits and conversations you can start using right away to communicate more clearly, stay emotionally connected, and protect your marriage from drifting apart.   Key Takeaways Communication shapes your marriage every day. It's not the big conversations alone that matter, but the daily responses, tone, and small interactions. You cannot grow closer without communicating, and mind-reading is not a real skill, no matter how much we wish it were. Unspoken assumptions damage connection.  When couples don't communicate, they fill in the gaps with guesses, and those guesses are often wrong. What feels obvious to you may not be obvious to your spouse. If left unchecked, the Four Horsemen quietly erode relationships.  Criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling are strong predictors of marital breakdown, but couples can recognize them early and recover when they're willing to change patterns. Most conflict starts inside us, not with our spouse.  Many reactions come from fear, stress, or unresolved issues rather than our spouse's actions. Growth begins when we take ownership and speak from vulnerability instead of blame. Engaging imperfectly is better than withdrawing.  Respect, appreciation, and choosing to stay engaged, even awkwardly, protect connection. Healthy communication requires effort, humility, and the daily choice to turn toward each other.   Couple Discussion Questions Which of the Four Horsemen are threatening our relationship right now?  How would you rate our communication on a scale of 1-10?  What can we do to improve this? Resources Guide to Communication: https://messyfamilyproject.org/guide/communication/ Explanation of the Four Horsemen: https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-four-horsemen-recognizing-criticism-contempt-defensiveness-and-stonewalling/  

It was another historic halftime show at this year's Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara as global superstar Bad Bunny took the stage.  Reporter: Keith Mizuguchi, The California Report 2025 was a pivotal year for health insurance reform: more than two dozen states, including California, passed laws limiting insurers' ability to delay or deny medical services after a doctor has ordered them. The practice is known as prior authorization. Criticism of it reached a fever pitch last year and California is leading the way with reform.
