It’s Peak & Pit and Kel’s week starts with a sentence no one enjoys saying out loud - “my period was six days late.” Cue the pregnancy-test spiral, the mood swings, and that specific kind of rage where you remember men simply… do not have to think about any of this. Meanwhile, Kee’s trying to do the whole “not drinking this year” thing but learns the hard way that non-alcoholic wine can still ruin your next day if you pick the wrong one.

More than a thousand ships are stranded outside the Strait of Hormuz, bobbing in the water. A big reason? Insurance. War insurance premiums have skyrocketed since the war with Iran began. It's an add-on that covers things regular insurance doesn't, like missile strikes. And shippers don't want to foot the bill or put their crews at risk. Cue the traffic jam. On today's show, how a critical trade chokepoint became the parking lot of the sea. And taking stock of President Trump's plan to offer reinsurance to get these ships sailing again.Related episodes: How the 'shadow fleet' helps Russia skirt sanctionsWill Iran block the Strait of Hormuz? For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

In this episode, we break down MARTY SUPREME — the intense sports drama from Josh Safdie starring Timothée Chalamet as an obsessive table tennis prodigy chasing greatness at any cost. We dive into how the film captures the Safdie Brothers' signature chaotic energy while telling a story about ambition, obsession, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.We analyze Marty as a character — a hustler willing to lie, manipulate, and gamble everything to become the greatest table tennis player in the world. Throughout the episode we discuss the psychology behind Marty's obsession, why his charisma pulls people into his schemes, and how the film constantly keeps the audience on edge as everything threatens to collapse around him.We also explore the film's unusual casting choices, including the surprising performances from non-actors and personalities like Tyler, the Creator and Kevin O'Leary, and how Safdie uses real people from the table tennis world to add authenticity to the film's gritty New York atmosphere.Finally, we break down the ending and what it means for Marty's journey — whether achieving his dream actually changes him, and how the birth of his child represents a turning point in his life and identity.Chapters:00:00:00 First thoughts & ending explained00:10:39 Rachel's husband... poor guy00:15:13 The insane amount of non-actors in this movie00:26:45 Marty Supreme'ing the marketing00:31:50 How this movie got made00:36:38 Josh Safdie goes deep on side characters00:39:13 Showing Marty ahead of his time00:42:43 The honey scene00:45:33 The best scene in the movie00:50:04 They never used a real ping pong ball00:52:21 Timothee Chalamet sacrificing his eyes00:55:00 Josh Safdie knows when to stress the audience out00:59:19 A perfect storm for a successful movie01:02:26 Josh Safdie's decreasingly stressful movie track01:07:49 Our official rating & final thoughts01:12:43 Cue the music

Hello! Emilie here. For most of my adult life, Lizzy Goodman's Meet Me In the Bathroom has been the only definitive book about the New York music scene of my youth. The trouble is that a lot of important stuff happened alongside and after that, particularly across the river in Brooklyn. So, thank God for Ronen Givony. The founder of longtime concert series Wordless Music and former Le Poisson Rouge booker braved the wilds of the publishing industry to bring us the first comprehensive history of the Brooklyn music scene: Us vs. Them: The Age of Indie Music and a Decade in New York (out now via Abrams).Us vs. Them traces the years 2004 to 2014 and a wide cast of artists and other characters, some familiar, many not. But part of the point is to look past the usual suspects to talk about the lesser-known artists and promoters who built the scene, often with their very own hands. The book traces how Bush-era political dissatisfaction, cheap rents, and digital technology gave rise to one of those uniquely fertile cultural moments in music history that only come around every so often—you know, where great gigs felt endless, scenes felt possible, and you and your friends were the ones making it happen.Ronen joins us to discuss what it was like to chronicle a scene that, unlike the Manhattan scene of the Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Interpol, was geographically far-flung and features a lot of characters who never became household names or whose careers have been lost to time. We also get into what conditions made it possible for north Brooklyn to become home to a creative ecosystem that, in Ronen's words, “existed for a reason other than profit” and its complicated relationship to commerce, the media, and selling out. And we talk about what this history teaches us about how we might go about fostering culture in New York—and cities like it—today.Ronen was also kind enough to make us a playlist featuring artists from the book.

It's a reminder of how quickly joy can turn to grief, and JB and Sandy speak candidly about community, empathy, and the weight these moments leave behind.

Fans of opera often say that a production either ends in cheers or tears; someone winds up wed or dead.

"The things that we do that have a lasting impact are the work of the community engagement department at Santa Fe Opera and the work of the Santa Fe Opera in the first place. It's changed the capital O art form forever," Andrea observes. "And, we've all been some part of that." Audience included. The Key Change team captured intimate moments of the creative process alongside the breathless joys of performance. They chronicled moments with legendary artists (oh, hey Peter Sellars!) and students alike, and revealed the importance of telling hard truths. "I think that speaks to the longevity of the thing," says Brandon. "Key Change will reverberate as long as that work needs to be done. I think we can be happy with that." Cue curtain.

In this episode, we break down SECONDHAND LIONS (2003) — the underrated coming-of-age film starring Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Haley Joel Osment. We dive into the powerful themes of masculinity, boyhood, courage, and what it really means to become a man.We analyze Robert Duvall's performance as Hub, Michael Caine's emotional storytelling, and how Haley Joel Osment's character arc is literally reflected through his voice changing as he grows up. We unpack the symbolism behind the lion, the deeper meaning of the Africa stories, and why the “secondhand” metaphor represents aging warriors searching for purpose.From the unforgettable fight scene to the gut-punch moment when Hub reveals what happened to Jasmine, we discuss how this feel-good movie quietly delivers emotional depth. We also break down the psychology behind why so many kid movies use absent or flawed parents to create empathy — and why this storytelling technique works so well here.SECONDHAND LIONS may look like a simple family movie, but underneath it's about legacy, honor, storytelling, and raising a boy into a man.Chapters:00:00 RIP Robert Duvall00:09:06 The most insane place to travel back in the day00:12:28 Haley Joel Osment back at it again00:15:34 A trope of all children movies00:20:33 Great character dynamics00:25:25 Our favorite scene from the movie00:28:28 Evil pigs on set00:31:32 The director has a great childhood movie slate00:32:36 The story of them destroying a families home to film00:33:58 Walter never learned his lesson00:35:28 Visual storytelling of Walters problem00:37:37 The original ending00:39:30 Love seeing Walter get some action00:43:01 The nightmare of animal wrangling for movies00:50:57 The secret to get actors to cry00:55:10 Our official rating & final thoughts01:00:05 Cue the music

(A novel idea for us recovering perfectionists, I know . . . ) Ever start a hobby with excitement, only to face the harsh reality that you're not good at it? Welcome to my February Hobby Year update. This month I dove into sketching wildflowers, and QUICKLY discovered I'm bad at it. Really bad. But here's the twist: I promised to send these amateur drawings to new Supporters as handmade cards. Cue the inner perfectionist panic. In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I sat down with my sketch book, why promising these cards to people accidentally turned my hobby into a job, and the permission I had to give myself to be bad at something and share it anyway.

In this episode of The Brick Session, Mark is joined by co-host Caroline Livesey for a no-nonsense chat about where triathlon is heading, and who's quietly buying the keys to the building. We start with the PTO, who currently appear to be purchasing everything in triathlon that isn't physically bolted to the floor. Is it smart consolidation, necessary progress, or just the sporting equivalent of Monopoly played with very deep pockets? We break down what it means for athletes, fans, and the long-term shape of the sport, without the press-release horse shit.Next up: Ironman banning all competitor filming during races. Cue outrage, think-pieces, and shaky GoPro footage mourned across social media.  Except, we actually think it's a good decision. We talk fairness, safety, and why racing might be better when athletes are focused on racing, not content creation. Finally, we tackle the elephant in every Instagram feed: why athletes and coaches feel the need to post everything. Training volume. Power files. Easy runs. Hard runs. The run before the run. The “accidentally hard” run. We ask what it's really for, who it's helping, and whether a bit of mystery, and restraint might actually be a good thing.  Because sometimes less is more. Less noise. Less validation chasing. And, ironically, often better performance. Blunt opinions, dry humour, and a reality check for modern triathlon culture, exactly as you'd expect from Mark.  Caroline is the sensible one...   Enjoy 

You're intelligent. You're capable. You're prepared. So why does your body still react under pressure? In this episode of the Social Skills Mastery Podcast, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist Kristine Ovsepian to explore the physiological side of anxiety and whether tools like hypnotherapy and breathwork can reduce the internal friction that keeps high-achieving professionals from speaking up and stepping forward. We discuss what hypnotherapy actually is (and isn't), how it works neurologically, whether it can help with social anxiety and fear of visibility, and how trauma and stress responses shape professional performance. We also break down breathwork in practical terms and explore when hypnotherapy is a smart complement to coaching. If you've normalized the tension before meetings, the racing thoughts before presentations, or the quiet avoidance of leadership visibility,  this episode will challenge you to reconsider whether that friction is necessary. In This Episode, We Discuss: What hypnotherapy actually is and how it differs from stage hypnosis What happens in the brain and nervous system during hypnosis Whether hypnotherapy can reduce social anxiety and fear of public speaking How trauma (big or small) can shape adult anxiety patterns What breathwork is and how it affects emotional regulation When hypnotherapy is appropriate — and when it isn't   As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, Kristine Ovsepian blends science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, she helps her clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power. Guided by love, intuition, and purpose, she holds space for her clients to awaken, release what no longer serves them, and step fully into their highest path.   Website: www.journeystoheal.com   Instagram:  @journeystoheal   Facebook   LinkedIn       Yelp    ** Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills?

Hello EICulture Vultures. Our gorgeous Beth is ill this week, everyone say get well soon Beth!So we were all rooting for this new Netflix documentary series to give us an unfiltered and balanced look into the unbelievably problematic world of America's Next Top Model. The question is…did it? So for anyone who hasn't watched it, Netflix released “Reality Check: America's Next Top Model” on the 16th of February, and in three separate hour-long episodes it dives into the creation of the show which was hosted by Tyra Banks and then briefly Rita Ora, the many scandals that happened during its 24 seasons- or cycles, as the show called them- and how it all fell apart. We hear from many former contestants, as well as former judges J “Miss J” Alexander and Nigel Barker, and creative director on set Jay Manuel. But most controversially, Tyra Banks also appears and has her say- something people are having a lot of feelings about, and which we will get into. More TV news! A new limited series from Ryan Murphy's anthology franchise has captured the minds and hearts of the internet, myself included, it documents the intense, whirlwind romance and subsequent tragic marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Carolyn Bessette played by Sarah Pidgeon, Based on Elizabeth Beller's book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the show explores their rise as a 1990s "It Couple" while highlighting the immense, often suffocating pressure of fame, paparazzi, and legacy.

Just how much longer can the Netflix vs. Paramount merger madness go on? (Cue the eye rolls.) Paramount made a fresh $31-per-share offer to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and WBD's response — which can be boiled down to “We're getting there, maybe” — is about as close to coquettish as a corporation can get. Meanwhile, Netflix is not-so-patiently waiting in the wings, as co-CEO Ted Sarandos wraps a weeklong press tour to convince Wall Street and Hollywood that his company's offer for WBD (which, as he'll remind you, was already accepted in December) is superior. So what happens now? Elaine Low, Natalie Jarvey and Sean McNulty answer your burning questions about the whole saga and read between the lines of Sarandos' press offensive.

A 46-year drought ends. A goalie stands on his head. A player loses two teeth and wins gold. And the outrage? Not about the game — but about loving America.

In this episode, we break down MAN ON FIRE (2004) — Tony Scott's explosive revenge thriller starring Denzel Washington. We dive into the emotional transformation of John Creasy, the bond between Creasy and Pita, and how the film turns vengeance into a story about redemption and sacrifice.We analyze the stylized editing, intense performances, and the raw emotion that makes Man on Fire stand apart from other action films. From its chaotic visual style to its heartbreaking final moments, this is one of the most powerful revenge movies ever made — and we unpack exactly why it still resonates.Chapters:00:00:00 Intro: The insane visual style00:09:42 Dakota Fanning went off in this movie00:19:55 The beauty of this movie00:22:57 How the kidnapping world works00:26:46 A dirty scene they cut from the movie00:30:41 RIP Tony Scott: When art mimics life00:32:18 Southern bell Lisa00:34:56 The insanely dangerous film set00:42:36 Gray's Denzel hot take00:44:28 The funny way Dakota Fanning got emotional on camera00:45:51 Our one complaint with the movie00:48:09 The alternate ending00:53:06 The kidnapping process was accurate00:55:12 Tarantino might be responsible for this movie00:58:12 Christopher Walken just loves to pop in and out01:02:15 Why this movie works so well01:06:34 Why the overt style works so well01:08:04 Our official rating & final thoughts01:13:03 Cue the music

What if everyone gets saved in the end… and that is actually the problem? In this second and final conversation on universalism, we dig into the “Disney ending” version of theology. The idea sounds comforting. No eternal consequences. No final separation. Everyone reconciled. Cue the emotional music. But what does that do to justice, holiness, leadership, and the actual claims of historic Christianity? We talk about universalism through both theology and popular opinion. Why does it resonate so strongly in modern American church culture? Is it compassion, discomfort with judgment, or just a cultural allergy to hard endings? And if everyone gets a trophy, what exactly are we being saved from? Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman approach the topic the way they approach most things: honest questions, real church experience, and just enough sarcasm to keep it human. The conversation is thoughtful without being academic and skeptical without being cynical.

In this powerful faith-based podcast episode about leadership, integrity, wisdom, and everyday character decisions, we explore how one simple moment on a morning dog walk became a real-world test of faith, obedience, and personal responsibility.You've probably had a moment like this.You're walking through your normal routine… life feels ordinary… and then suddenly you're faced with a decision that nobody else will see. No audience. No applause. Just you, your conscience, and a choice that quietly defines who you are becoming.On a morning walk, inspired by Proverbs 19, what started as a peaceful routine turned into an unexpected spiritual crossroads: my dog did what dogs do… and I realized I had no poop bags.Cue the internal debate.Do you walk away and pretend you didn't notice?Or do you choose integrity when no one is watching?What followed was a literal and spiritual backtrack — walking farther than planned, wrestling with frustration, questioning whether doing the right thing was even worth the inconvenience. And right there, in that ordinary moment, God spoke clearly:Be a good person.But the story didn't end there.When I finally opened Proverbs 19 afterward, the message hit differently. It wasn't just encouragement — it was a blueprint for how to live wisely, lead faithfully, and build a life grounded in character.In this episode, YOU step into the hero's journey — because every listener faces daily decisions that shape identity, reputation, and legacy. This conversation helps you recognize how small choices become spiritual turning points.How walking in integrity shapes your future more than quick successWhy haste and desire without wisdom lead to regretThe danger of blaming God for our own decisionsWhy truth, generosity, and discipline build lasting influenceHow patience and wisdom create real leadership powerThe importance of guarding what you hear and seePractical ways to stay consistent in your relationship with GodProverbs 19 reminds us:Walk in integrity instead of rushing like a foolSeek wisdom before actionTell the truthHonor familyBe diligent — laziness never winsStay generous and celebrate othersAccept correction and grow wiserSpend time with God daily and allow transformation to happenThis episode isn't about perfection.It's about alignment.Because the real question isn't: What would a good person do?The real question is: Who are you becoming when nobody is watching?If you're searching for faith-based motivation, personal development, biblical leadership principles, or practical wisdom from Proverbs, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to live with intention — one decision at a time.

In this episode, Cody & Meagan pull back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in hospitality: that running a rental is “passive income.” With humor, honesty, and plenty of real-life stories, they break down what guests think operators do all day versus the invisible work that actually keeps properties running.From last-minute emergencies to emotional labor no one prepares you for, this episode shines a light on the reality behind great hospitality—and why consistency is harder than growth.

From the future to the first team, it's a classic Palace rollercoaster.

Ever felt the panic when the bell rings and there's still an ocean of class time ahead? Bell-to-bell engagement without burning out isn't just a catchy phrase — it's the lifeline for secondary teachers juggling multiple preps. This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast tackles a problem every teacher eventually faces: you planned what you thought was an airtight lesson… and your students finish early. Now you're staring down the clock, wondering what to do when students finish early (especially when phones aren't allowed).Here's the hard truth: no one trains you for the chaos that hits when pacing goes sideways. Host Khristen Massic names that sinking feeling and shares a real first-year moment — pouring hours into a careers unit, only to watch students wrap it up with half the period still sitting there. Cue the classroom spiral.Most teachers think the solution is “plan tighter.” But the real fix isn't perfect pacing — it's early finisher routines you can repeat every time. Not a hundred activities. Not a brand-new mini-lesson. Five simple, reliable options you can teach once and reuse forever.In this episode, you'll hear strategies like the quality check loop, structured peer checks, and micro-extension challenges — finish-early routines that work in a secondary classroom without extra prep or extra explaining. Bell-to-bell engagement becomes easier when students already know the next step.This is for the multi-prep teacher who's tired of feeling like they “failed” when a lesson ends early. If you want stronger classroom routines, calmer transitions, and less decision fatigue — this episode will help you build a system that protects your energy and supports real work-life balance.If you're ready to stop scrambling and start teaching with a plan for the “leftover minutes,” press play.Go teach bold, not burned out.Too many preps and not enough time? Let's make your planning period actually work for you. Need a fast mid-year teaching reset?

Remember in the weirdly rescheduled Halloween episode when Pacey promised to make dinner for everyone when Jen and Dawson came back from New Hampshire? It's time. On their way in, Dawson and Jen agree to keep things low-profile before proceeding to mack on the doorstep AND in the foyer, where their friends all immediately witness them doing. Cue the entrances and exits as Jack worries that Jen and Dawson are both too emotionally raw for what they're embarking on, everyone monitors Joey for signs of an imminent breakdown, and Pacey is alternately annoyed by and concerned about his diners failing to appreciate his food.

If you ever want to understand why legacy media is hemorrhaging credibility faster than a leaky stimulus package, watch what happens when it tries to weaponize arithmetic against common sense.Recently, ABC News decided to present what it clearly believed was a jaw-dropping exposé: roughly $40 million spent to deport more than two million illegal immigrants in 2025.Cue ominous music. Cue furrowed anchor brow. Then, cue the implication that fiscal apocalypse had arrived in the shape of an ICE bus.Instead, the internet did what the internet does best. It grabbed a calculator.Forty million dollars. Two million deportations. That is about $20 per removal. Twenty dollars. You cannot Uber someone to the airport for that.And yet the presentation suggested scandal.For years, Democrats and their allies have insisted that illegal immigration is “cost-positive.” They have painted a portrait of a parallel workforce that magically expands GDP, fills labor gaps, and somehow does all this while simultaneously qualifying for means-tested benefits, subsidized education, emergency healthcare, housing assistance, and a buffet of state-level entitlements.It is a neat trick. The kind that only works if you never total the receipts.The Federation for American Immigration Reform has repeatedly estimates that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers well over $100 billion annually when federal, state, and local expenditures are included. Even if one disputes the exact number, the categories are indisputable: public education, Medicaid, emergency medical care, incarceration, infrastructure strain. These are not ideological abstractions. They are line items.Yet here comes a headline implying that $40 million is a grotesque extravagance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ah, the classic conundrum: meeting Mr. or Ms. Right at what seems like the wrong time. We’ve all heard it: “I met the right person, but it was the wrong time.” Or, if you’re a Christian single, it may sound more like, “God sent this amazing person, but I'm just not in the right season to receive it!” Cue the dramatic sigh, longing looks at the sky, and perhaps a prannnnnknnkknoinno;njk;jknjnkyer asking, “Why, Lord, why?!” But let's take a moment […] The post Meeting the Right Person at the Wrong Time: A Christian Single's Journey appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

Hello EICruisers! This week on the pod we're all over the map of pop culture, discussing everything from Brooklyn Beckham's tattoo cover-ups to cancelled RHONY stars to Taylor Swift's Croydon music video to France's open letter "reminding" 29-year-olds to have babies.We also get deeper into the newly released batch of Epstein files and discuss the fallout so far, how we're choosing to consume this news and why nobody can seem to easily frame this story.There's also some soul-searching to be had as the three of us ask... are WE performative? One commenter thought so after last week's episode. No hate to them (promise!) but it did make us think... where has this insult come from and what does it actually mean?Beth's been loving Schitt's Creek and a dognapping drama, Ruchira's been loving Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show and Oenone's been loving Industry and chatting to old men in Waterstones (more on her Substack here).Thanks so much for listening! If you've read this far could we pleeeeease be cheeky and ask for a rating, review or a share of the podcast on your socials? It really helps us grow and keep making EIC. Love you!

The story of Hawaii's hip hop isn't a straight line—it's a flow that bends through island reggae, battle rap, day parties, and studio nights that run past last call. We sit down with Rappa Nui to trace that path from Puna to Oahu, where a poetry-loving kid grew into a meticulous writer who prefers the booth to the spotlight but still knows how to light a room when it counts.We dig into process first: how stacked notes turn into finished verses once the right beat shakes the walls, why he sometimes shifts from pure rap to island reggae textures, and what it takes to “shop” for a studio sound that feels like home. Along the way we give flowers to local pillars—Fiji, Angry Locals, Osna—and unpack how battle rap made sharper writers and braver performers in Hawaii long before algorithms could push a clip. There's a standout chapter on collaboration too: the Kanaka Fire link-up that became a radio moment and proof that one hook can move from Hawaii to global feeds in a day.It's not all highlight reels. Rappa Nui is candid about industry and the discipline it takes to keep the art clean: family over everything, clarity over chaos, and humility as a strategy, not a slogan. We trade top-five island vocalists and essential tracks, talk nightlife then vs now, and kick around a “verses” concept for island reggae that would pack any venue. He shares goals—bigger collabs, stronger reach, and songs that carry Hawaii's voice without dressing it up for export—and drops practical advice for up-and-comers: shake every hand, learn from doers, and keep going when platforms reset.Cue up this conversation if you love craft talk, local-to-global stories, and the sound of a scene leveling up without losing its roots. Stream, follow, and share with a friend who needs a spark. If it hits, leave a quick review and subscribe so you catch the next drop.

From the unforgettable "It's not your fault" scene to the layered character arcs, we analyze why Good Will Hunting continues to resonate decades later.

There's a lot of anxiety about artificial intelligence invading Hollywood; the general mood there right now could be called “doom and gloom.” But speculation about a future where A.I. actors perform A.I. scripts in A.I.-generated movies often obscures the role A.I. is currently playing in the industry.In this episode, the host Michael Barbaro talks with the Hollywood reporter Brooks Barnes and the movie critic Alissa Wilkinson about the ways that A.I. is already showing up in our movies and television today, and how they see it contributing to — and complicating — the future. On Today's Episode:Alissa Wilkinson is a Times movie critic.Brooks Barnes is the chief Hollywood correspondent for The Times. Background Reading:Can You Believe the Documentary You're Watching?Disney Agrees to Bring Its Characters to OpenAI's Sora Videos‘The Wizard of Oz' Is Getting an A.I.
