When America's Next Top Model premiered in the early 2000s, it looked like a golden ticket: a glamorous TV show that could catapult aspiring models into fame. But two decades later, many contestants describe its aftermath as a curse.

You'll get the real story behind the show's most infamous controversies. Then, the models and producers pull back the curtain and talk about how the most outrageous photoshoots and runaways came together. You'll hear from contestants who say ANTM saved their lives and from those who say it ruined theirs. The contestants also talk about how the body shaming they experienced on the show caused lifelong scars. Finally, we try to answer the question, is Tyra Banks the ultimate reality television villain? Curse of: America's Next Top Model takes you on an investigative journey to figure out if the so-called curse is real? And if so, what was the toll on the models, and us, the audience?EPISODES AVAILABLE HEREHttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-curse-of-americas-next-to-292261592/

Verho: Curse of Faces doet een beetje denken aan laagwaardige variant van The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Althans, daar deed het Joe van Burik aan denken. Maar heeft Sam van Zuilen dat ook zo ervaren? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering van onze winterreeks 12 Games of Christmas. Én traditiegetrouw moet Sam het nog even hebben over Helldivers II. Vragen of opmerkingen? Mail ons op allinthegame@bnr.nl Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Herman en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Wesley Schouwenaars, Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in BNR Digitaal (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Electronic music pioneer Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never) joins SCORE to discuss his explosive new score to A24's MARTY SUPREME, directed by Josh Safdie, as well as his background as a godfather of the late-2000s “Vaporwave” music genre and his ongoing record producing with singer-songwriter Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd).Daniel dives into his early life and discovery on early electronic musical instruments, and how a meaningless corporate job helped inspire some of the hallmarks of Vaporwave music, as heard in his 2010 release Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1. Daniel dives into vaporware's inspirations and it's ongoing influence on his albums, work with the Safdie brothers (GOOD TIME, UNCUT GEMS, Showtime's THE CURSE and A24's MARTY SUPREME), and music producing career with The Weeknd.Plus, Timothee Chalamet's visit to his studio drinking a Red Stripe — and we ask Daniel if he can confirm or deny that Chalamet may have a secret music career as Liverpool rap artist EsDeeKid.

Are you the person everyone turns to because you'll "just handle it"? The one replying to emails at 11pm, rewriting your team's work, or silently resenting the people you keep rescuing? In this solo episode, Cathleen O'Sullivan tackles a behavior that's as exhausting as it is common: over-functioning in the name of being helpful.  Cathleen reveals why constant helpfulness isn't kindness—it's a control strategy that stifles growth, creates dependency, and keeps you small. She shares the story of a leader who was praised for being dependable but passed over for promotion because she wasn't seen as visionary, and unpacks why always being the fixer means you're losing time, energy, and strategic thinking space.  This punchy episode delivers four practical steps to shift from over-functioning to actual leadership: building awareness around guilt-driven yeses, replacing rescuing with coaching questions, using scripts that empower without abandoning, and practicing the useful discomfort of not jumping in. Your team doesn't need a hero. They need a leader. And you need your energy back.   Episode Timeline: 00:01:01 Why being helpful is actually a curse  00:01:44 "It's just quicker if I do it"—the trap of over-functioning  00:03:43 The exhausted leader who felt like a parent to her team  00:04:35 How helpfulness backfires: creating dependency, not ownership  00:05:59 The people pleaser passed over for promotion  00:06:45 Step 1: Build awareness—am I doing work that's not mine?  00:08:19 Step 2: Replace rescuing with coaching questions  00:10:09 Step 3: The script for letting go without guilt  00:12:00 Step 4: Practice useful discomfort—let them struggle and grow  00:14:08 The truth: over-helpfulness is a control strategy in disguise  00:14:42 Your challenge: find one moment this week and don't jump in   Key Takeaway: Step 1: Build Awareness—Notice When You're Over-Functioning Am I doing work that's not mine? Saying yes out of guilt? Secretly resentful? One leader kept rewriting her team's decks—not for quality, but out of fear of being judged. Keep asking "why" until you hit the root cause.  Step 2: Replace Rescuing with Coaching Questions Don't jump into fix-it mode. Ask: "What have you tried? Where did you get stuck? What do you think could work?" Put ownership back in their hands. Let them think first—then see where they really get stuck.  Step 3: Use a Script for Letting Go Without Guilt Try this: "I trust you to run with this. If you hit a wall, I'm here, but I know you've got this." Leadership isn't about perfection—it's about empowerment and growing together.  Step 4: Practice Useful Discomfort—Let Them Struggle Wait 24 hours before replying. Let someone struggle without stepping in—they'll figure it out. Ask yourself: Am I fixing this to help, or to feel needed? Growth is messy. If you never let them wobble, they'll never walk on their own.   Connect with Cathleen O'Sullivan:  Business: https://cathleenosullivan.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathleen-osullivan/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legendary_leaders_cathleenos/    FOLLOW LEGENDARY LEADERS ON APPLE, SPOTIFY OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO YOUR PODCASTS

Christmas Eve celebrating how Christ reverses the Curse of sin.

“Misfortune Seldom Comes Alone—But the Drinks Sure Do!”Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. This week, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor—joined by their delightfully unlucky guest, the rabbit's foot itself (special guest status earned)—dive head-first into Supernatural Season 3, Episode 3, “Bad Day at Black Rock.” Cursed objects, chaotic luck, Bobby's exasperation, and Sam's shoe-related misfortunes all collide in this offbeat, fan-favorite romp.A Curse, a Foot, and a Whole Lot of Falling DownKrissy and Nate unpack one of the funniest episodes of early Supernatural, relishing the shift from demon drama to Looney Tunes-style slapstick. They explore the emotional beats—like how the boys are still so young and earnest here?—as well as the episode's running motifs of luck, chaos, and the consequences of Dad Winchester's… storage habits. There's also plenty of love for the tonal whiplash that makes “Bad Day at Black Rock” a standout: horror one minute, physical comedy the next.The hosts break down how the drinking game rules play out—especially the heroic “luck/lucky” rule and the fan-favorite “I lost my shoe” moment. They highlight the episode's great character intros, like Sterling K. Brown's intense Gordon and Lauren Cohan's sly Bella Talbot, while keeping just enough surprises tucked away for your listen.Sip-Worthy ThoughtsThe boys' early-season innocence—adorable and occasionally disastrousThe episode's pitch-perfect Final Destination energyA drinking game rule that escalates fast (looking at you, “lucky”)Dean's scratcher spree and the chaos it invitesFinal ThoughtsKrissy and Nate wrap things up by celebrating the episode's perfect blend of comedy, danger, and character development. Their closing banter lands on a high note—fondness for the episode, love for the fans, and just the right dash of Winchester-style snark.Want more Gank That Drank?Head to trustory.fm for show details, early ad-free episodes, and bonus content.

The curse of sin runs deep, touching every part of creation, every part of who we are. And the law, even God's good law, cannot remove it. But the gospel can. Christ became a curse for us so we could be brought into blessing: the blessing of Abraham, the blessing of life with God, the blessing of the Spirit who dwells in us. This is why Jesus came. This is why Advent matters. The curse is not the final word. Blessing is. Galatians 3:10–14

After a long hiatus from live, human-voiced podcasting, Chris Abraham returns with the unofficial kickoff to a new season of The Chris Abraham Show. Call it Season 10, or just call it “one more than whatever came before.” This episode is less a formal broadcast and more a fireside check-in. No hot takes yet. No grand thesis. Just Uncle Chris catching up, taking inventory, and letting listeners back into the workshop.Chris opens by reflecting on a year spent experimenting with AI-assisted writing and audio. Substacks fed into NotebookLM. Podcasts assembled more like orchestration than performance. He likens himself to a Renaissance painter running a studio: sketch the idea, let the assistants fill in the canvas, then obsessively revise until it feels true enough to sign. It sparked conversations, which felt like a win, even if the whole thing occasionally resembled “DJ Slop.”From there, the episode turns personal. One week post-second ablation, Chris reports that his heart is finally humming along in sinus rhythm after a long struggle with atrial fibrillation. The first procedure failed and took the wind out of his sails, contributing to weight gain, lethargy, and a general retreat from movement. This time feels different. Better sleep. BiPAP nights. The cautious hope of eventually shedding some medications. The slow return to walking, cycling, kettlebells, and the familiar ritual of getting back in the saddle, literally and figuratively.Fitness and body discipline weave through the episode, including a rueful confession: Chris once tattooed a kettlebell on his hand as a motivational Hail Mary… and then promptly stopped lifting. Future tattoo ideas may include a Concept2 logo and the muted horn from The Crying of Lot 49, because symbolism apparently works better than guilt.Work life is steadier. SEO, Google Business Profile recoveries, and AI-adjacent consulting are keeping the lights on. But the real joy lately lives in the nerd margins. Chris dives deep into decentralized systems, inspired by Ghost in the Shell, particularly the sentient blue tanks that sync their “souls” to a server. That idea metastasized into a home-rolled infrastructure project: seven identical Lenovo ThinkPads running Linux Mint, all synchronized via a cloud droplet using Syncthing. Not a backup. A living sync mesh. Every laptop a node. Every document everywhere.That fascination with nodes and meshes extends into the physical world via Meshtastic. Chris recently deployed a LoRa-based radio node, ABRA (short for Abracadabra), hanging from an eighth-floor Arlington window, quietly strengthening a local, license-free mesh network. No voices. No feeds. Just short messages hopping node to node, old-school and strangely comforting. It's part prepper tech, part early-internet nostalgia, part philosophical itch scratched.Elsewhere in the ecosystem: Mastodon survives for now at abraham.su, rescued at the last minute despite the .su clock ticking toward 2030. Micro.blog joins the stack under chrisa.micro.blog and ChrisA.org. Digital homesteading continues.Chris also shares the unexpected joy of joining a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign, Curse of Strahd, playing a stubborn Eldritch Knight named Radley, refusing to read the manual, and delighting in chaos alongside a group of grizzled old nerds on Discord. Dice are rolled. Plans go sideways. Everyone survives, mostly.The episode closes with quieter notes: a growing devotion to the Gospels, nightly Episcopal Compline prayers, the simple rhythm of rereading rather than rushing ahead. A Powerball ticket purchased. Gym plans deferred. Kettlebells waiting. A rowing machine sulking upright in the corner.This isn't a manifesto. It's a temperature check. A reintroduction. Uncle Chris is back, heart steadier, systems syncing, curiosity intact, and ready to spend the rest of the year talking through the small things before returning to the big ones.

Far as the Curse is Found | Eric Pickerill | Westerville Campus | December 21, 2025

The thing about machines is that we expect them to keep chugging on – to never break or falter. In the late 1990s, a mixed martial artist named Mark Kerr found himself struggling to shoulder the weight of that expectation. Mark was a winner – a muscular behemoth beloved by fans of a rising new fighting league, called Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC for short. His fans across the world knew little of his agonising behind-the-scenes struggle to keep up that facade, to keep entering the ring week after week, to keep The Smashing Machine as he was nicknamed chugging along – never breaking, never faltering. Addicted to powerful painkillers, the pressure to win was killing him.Which is why The Smashing Machine, the recent biopic about Kerr, from my guest today, writer-director Benny Safdie, is a sports movie unlike most others. Think of a sports movie you love. Break it down at its core and I bet you, it's a tale about someone learning to win, right? Starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, The Smashing Machine is about someone learning to lose. The liberation that comes with it. The power of realising that we're not our accomplishments. What defines us is our actions out of the wrestling ring – whatever your version of that ring may be. On today's episode, Benny tells me about the quote, “radical empathy” that guided this story – and how it was also perhaps present in his work up till now. Films and TV shows like the hugely acclaimed Good Time and Uncut Gems, both created with his brother Josh – and The Curse, created with Nathan Fielder. We get into all the key beats and scenes from The Smashing Machine in our usual spoiler-filled detail – including that mesmerising ending in which Dwayne Johnson seems to unburden himself of the expectation that he can never falter, not just within his performance of Mark Kerr, but also kind of as himself, this megawatt blockbuster star whose recent career took an interesting path to this story, filling it with metatextual meaning.

A lesson on the impossibility of upholding the Law, the curse of sin, and the means that God has provided for our redemption: faith alone in Christ alone. The sermon presents a powerful exposition of Galatians 3:10–14, emphasizing that all humanity is born under the curse of sin and incapable of achieving righteousness through the law, which demands perfect, perpetual obedience that no one can fulfill. Drawing on the imagery of Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, it contrasts the fatal curse of the law with the life-giving blessing of faith in Christ, who bore the curse on the cross to redeem sinners. The central message is that justification is not by works of the law, which only condemn, but by faith alone in Christ, whose perfect righteousness is imputed to believers. The sermon calls the audience to abandon all confidence in their own obedience, rest in Christ's finished work, and live daily by faith, trusting in His substitutionary sacrifice and the gift of the Holy Spirit promised to all who believe.

A lotta witches are miserable, unhappy, and ungrounded - they do magic for the wrong reasons, such as emotional instability, pettiness, anger, jealousy, or something else. Magic can absolutely be worked with to help us heal from trauma (as I talk about in my second graphic novel Bodymagic), however it seems that many people in witchcraft land aren't using magic to heal, but rather to further entrench themselves in their own negative habits, mindsets, and unhealthy ways of thinking. Our magic is limited by our own state of mind. In this episode, I discuss the state of witchy community, and how I think we can all work with magic in better, healthier ways.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott. She's been a practicing witch and medium for more than 25 years, and in this casual, mellow show she shares her secrets and musings about how to overcome pain and live a happy, magical life. She is the author of five books: Witchbody; Curse and Cure: Magic for Real Life; Rapeseed: Poetry and Writing About Life After Rape; Bodymagic: A Graphic Novel About Witchcraft, Trauma, and Healing; and A Witch at Home: 18 Rituals for Life, Love, and Healing.

At eight years old, they woke to a man standing in the doorway—a solid, breathing figure who looked just as startled to be seen… right before he stepped into the air and vanished. Most people would call it a childhood hallucination. A dream. A trauma echo. But trauma doesn't move through rooms. It doesn't follow you from home to home. It doesn't breathe beside your bed when you're fully awake. For decades, something has lingered—watching, tightening the air, stepping just out of sight. Relationship failures, constant setbacks, strange synchronicities, and a heaviness that never lifts… all while psychics whisper the same thing: something is attached. Is it one entity that found a crack and crawled in, or a magnet pulling in every lost thing that passes by? #ghoststory #haunting #paranormalexperience #realghoststories #shadowfigure #psychicphenomena #darkpresence #spiritattachment #ghostsighting #supernaturalstories #creepytales #truehaunting Love real ghost stories?
