Podcasts about Cushing

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rory Johnston to the show. Rory Johnston is a Commodity Market Research Specializing in Oil and Gas. Johnston describes an unprecedented period of volatility in oil markets, where the supply-demand balance swung radically within a single month. Following a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz, a surge of previously stranded tankers created a temporary mini-glut, flipping market structures from severe backwardation into contango. However, this glut proved fleeting as inbound empty tankers, initially driven by the most risk-tolerant owners, have dried up, leaving Gulf loadings constrained by available shipping capacity. Consequently, supply is tightening aggressively again. The most significant factor absorbing the supply shock is China, which swung its crude imports down by five million barrels per day without clear economic damage domestically. Johnston explores speculative explanations, including massive refined product stock releases, a coal-to-petrochemical feedstock switch, or a geopolitical understanding with the US. He also suggests China may be using the crisis as a successful dry run for weathering a potential blockade in a Taiwan conflict scenario. This swing, totaling roughly half a billion barrels, dwarfs the collective releases from IEA member states. Beyond crude, the refined products market, particularly diesel, is critically tight. Diesel crack spreads have soared to staggering levels, driven by drone attacks damaging Russian refineries, prior damage in the Middle East, and China slashing product exports. Johnston clarifies that strategic petroleum reserves function as a supply boost, not passive inventory, and that operational tank minimums at hubs like Cushing primarily affect regional price differentials to discourage exports, not trigger infinite crude spikes. He concludes that the overriding vulnerability is refining capacity, which is easy to target and hard to defend, making North American facilities a potentially valuable geopolitical safe haven in the current drone warfare era.

Millions of people are looking into their phone cameras and wondering why their face suddenly appears puffier, rounder, or more tired. The internet calls it “cortisol face,” but the truth is more complicated: cortisol itself is essential for survival, and the real danger may be a stress rhythm that never properly switches off. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe explains how poor sleep, blood-sugar instability, fluid retention, chronic inflammation, emotional overload, and disrupted hormone signaling can all change what you see in the mirror—and why creams and cosmetic treatments may never address the underlying cause. Learn the practical correction protocol designed to help restore your natural hormone rhythm, reduce the visible signs of stress, and address the problem beneath the surface.

Secretary Chris Wright is the Best Energy Secretary in the United States history, in my opinion, and today is a great example of that. His Department of Energy approval for the Aalo Atomics reactor start is huge for the United States. And on the other side of the Pond in the UK, you have the complete opposite, and you can see Ed Miliband banning North Sea oil production, but buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. This is shades of Jennifer Granholm! We cover 10 Big stories today on the Energy News Beat Stand Up. 1. Advanced Nuclear Energy Approvals (Opening Story)The podcast leads with a major milestone: Secretary Chris Wright approved the Allo-X Critical Test Reactor to reach critical mass. This represents a landmark achievement for U.S. nuclear energy, with hopes to reach criticality before July 4th. The host also mentions other advanced reactors like Tetra's Mark Zero and Valar Atomics' high-temperature gas reactor reaching zero power criticality in Utah.2. Oil Market Volatility & Strait of Hormuz DisruptionsExtensive discussion of crude oil market fluctuations driven by geopolitical tensions. Jeff Curry (from CNBC) argues that recent price declines are temporary, with underlying market conditions remaining tight. The podcast covers:Previously trapped crude being released through the Strait of HormuzShipping risks and limited operational lanesTanker attacks and captains avoiding the straitPredictions of future price spikes due to depleted SPR and Cushing reserves3. Middle East Energy Politics & Supply RoutesSaudi Arabia resuming tanker loadings at Ras TanuraIraq reversing pipeline flows to route crude northward to TurkeyIran's declining relevance due to reduced transit feesQatar's LNG challenges and alternative routing around the Strait of Hormuz4. EU Methane Regulations & Energy SecuritySecretary Chris Wright and other officials warn that proposed EU methane regulations could disrupt European oil and gas supply. The host criticizes these regulations as a wealth transfer that increases consumer costs without climate benefits.5. UK Energy Policy CriticismEd Miliband (UK Energy Secretary) vetoed a proposal to increase North Sea oil and gas drilling, despite the UK still relying on 40% natural gas. The host criticizes this as economically counterproductive.6. Refining Economics & California's ImpactDiscussion of refining costs and how California's regulatory overreach creates massive price disparities:Texas refineries: $5/barrel to refine gasolineCalifornia refineries: $15/barrel to refine gasolineCalifornia drivers pay $2.16 more per gallon than TexasCalifornia must import 40-60% of gasoline from Asia7. AI Boom Driving Natural Gas DemandTennessee Valley Authority reports electrical demand is exceeding forecasts due to AI and hyperscaler data centers, forcing massive natural gas expansion. The host emphasizes natural gas won't disappear anytime soon.8. Grid Infrastructure CrisisNew York faces a tightening electricity supply as AI data centers and new manufacturing seek grid connections by 2030—equivalent to the load of an entire New York City. The host criticizes politicians for ignoring the need for 24/7 dispatchable power and the physics of AC grid requirements.9. Political Commentary & Election IntegrityThe host calls for the "Save America Act" to ensure legal registered voters in elections, criticizing Senator Thune and broader election integrity issues, particularly in California.The podcast weaves together energy market realities, geopolitical tensions, regulatory policy, and infrastructure challenges into a comprehensive view of current U.S. energy security concerns.1.Aalo-X Gets the Approval to Turn On the Aalo-X Critical Test Reactor Secretary Chris Wright Signs the Critical Notice – A Landmark Milestone for U.S. Advanced Nuclear and AI Power2.Jeff Currie: Oil Market in Surplus Today, But That Tells Us Nothing About Tomorrow3.Saudi Arabia Starts Loading Tankers at Ras Tanura's Sea Port4.Iraq Set to Accelerate Hormuz Bypass5.Iraq Cuts West Qurna/2 Output Under Force Majeure as Tankers Remain Unavailable6.U.S., Qatar, Nigeria, and Algeria Warn Proposed E.U.

It is a wild day on the Energy News Beat Stand Up.Make no mistake, time will tell if the Strait of Hormuz is open, but do not underestimate the importance that the Bank of London and Lloyds of London play in opening the Strait of Hormuz. They want the war to continue, and are not happy if the war ends.As we hit Operational Bottoms for oil storage in the US it is a real problem, and President Trump ran out of time. I think that he has a plan and will get it done, but it will be done after the midterms.President Trump at the G7 has had some major impacts on the news cycle.1. Cushing, Oklahoma Oil Storage Crisis (Top Story)The podcast opens with the critical issue that Cushing—the "pipeline crossroads of the world"—has hit operational tank bottoms with only ~21.64 million barrels of crude. This is a major concern because refineries may not be able to access the oil they need, and the situation could spike oil prices. Cushing is the primary delivery and pricing point for WTI (West Texas Intermediate) futures.2. Global Oil Market Dynamics & Geopolitical TensionsStrait of Hormuz concerns: 20% of the world's oil passes through this strait, creating vulnerability to disruptionsIran's actions: Iran has pulled the trigger on controlling the strait, prompting neighboring Gulf states to seek alternative routesTanker movements: Iranian super tankers are slipping through blockades, with 6 million barrels already moved (likely to China)3. UAE's Strategic Independence from Strait of HormuzThe UAE is accelerating plans to bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely by expanding pipelines from 1.7 to over 5 million barrels per day, with potential floating LNG terminals planned for the Gulf of Oman.4. Alternative Pipeline InfrastructureSaudi Arabia's east-west pipeline to the Red Sea (pumping ~7 million barrels/day)Plans to bypass the Suez Canal through the MediterraneanIraq's threat to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, forcing reliance on pipelines5. Qatar's LNG Export RestartQatar is preparing to restart LNG exports with tankers already positioned, which is critical for Europe's natural gas supply (especially as they lag behind in summer refilling).6. U.S. Power Grid CrisisSevere equipment shortage with power transformer lead times reaching 128 weeks (2.5 years)Some special orders taking up to 4 yearsNew transformer facilities being built (Hitachi in Virginia by 2028, Siemens in North Carolina)Recommendation for homeowners to invest in solar panels and off-grid capabilities7. California Energy & Infrastructure ProblemsRefinery closures: Only 7 refineries remain in California; losing one would spike gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel pricesHigh-speed rail project: Ballooned from $9.9 billion to $231 billion with companies relocating to Morocco due to regulatory burdenPort congestion: LA and Long Beach ports handling massive container volumes8. Oil Price ForecastsMorgan Stanley lowered Brent crude forecasts to $90 in Q3 and $80 in Q4Current prices: WTI at ~$76-77, Brent at ~$79.58, Natural gas at $3.169. AI & Grid InfrastructureDiscussion of potential AI bubble concerns and the need for grid validation tools before implementation.10. U.S. Reshoring & Industrial RecoveryThe Trump administration is working to reverse decades of intentional deindustrialization, though the process faces challenges.The podcast emphasizes that energy markets are at critical junctures with geopolitical tensions, infrastructure constraints, and strategic repositioning reshaping global oil and gas flows.1.Cushing, Oklahoma Oil Storage Hits Tank Bottom: Implications for Energy Markets, Consumers, and Investors2.Pain at the Pump: Can It Heal or Curse the Trump Administration?3.UAE is moving on plans to never use the Strait of Hormuz4.Qatar Returns Tankers in Preparation for Restarting LNG Exports5.Iranian Supertanker Slips Out of Chabahar, Crossing US Blockade as Tehran Moves Oil Ahead of Friday Deal Approvals6.Qatar Plans to Rapidly Restart LNG Output After Hormuz Opens – How will this impact Europe?7.Banks Slash Oil Price Forecasts After U.S.-Iran Breakthrough8.US Grid Equipment Shortage Deepens Impacting Repairs and New Installations9.Another California refinery closure will threaten national and global economies10.California High-Speed Rail project soars to $231 Billion – “We left to work in Morocco as it is a better work enviornment”Check out the Energy News Beat SubStack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Face à un danger, le corps libère deux hormones pour répondre au stress : l'adrénaline pour réagir immédiatement, le cortisol pour prolonger l'effet. Présent naturellement dans le corps, le cortisol joue un rôle important dans la régulation du stress, du métabolisme, du système immunitaire et de la pression artérielle. Aujourd'hui, on l'accuse d'être responsable de la prise de poids, de fatigue chronique, de problèmes digestifs, de troubles du sommeil... Depuis quelques années, le cortisol, surnommé l'hormone du stress, est accusé de tous les maux sur les réseaux sociaux : fatigue, migraines, insomnies, acné, surpoids, troubles digestifs, visage rond ou encore cheveux plats... Et pourtant, le cortisol joue un rôle essentiel dans l'organisme, dès la formation du fœtus et tout au long de la vie (régulation du stress, du métabolisme, du système immunitaire et de la pression artérielle). Des troubles très rares Des taux anormaux de cortisol peuvent, il est vrai, entraîner des pathologies comme le syndrome de Cushing en cas d'excès ou la maladie d'Addison en cas de déficit.

The U.S. Senate has yet to take action on allowing E-15 use year round across the nation. It's a frustrating spot for Wisconsin biofuels facilities to be in. Erik Huschitt, General Manager at Badger State Ethanol in Monroe, and current President of the WI Biofuels Association feels it. He tells Pam Jahnke that "big oil" is actually on E-15's side in this debate. The problem, he says, is a small group of midsized refiners that have been getting a lot of benefits from the current system. Huschitt notes that consumers are on board, big oil is in support, but the lobbying arm of those midsized refiners is stopping any forward progress in D.C. Gorgeous weekend on the way for Wisconsin. The only thing missing is a little rain to keep coaxing crops along. Stu Muck gives us the warm, dry details through Monday. The weather this spring has come in fits and spurts for livestock owners. Kiley Allan finds out that horse owners need to exercise a little caution introducing horses to the spring grass that has accelerated in growth lately. Dr. Lisa Neeson, equine vet at Irongate Equine Clinic, says that horse with Cushing's, Equine Metabolic Syndrome, or those carrying extra weight could be at risk. She says putting horses out on pasture for just 30-60 minutes at time is smart. She also suggested those visits happen between 10 a.m. - and 3 p.m. when sugar levels in grasses are lower. When consumers pick up a package of beef at the store, they may not understand everything that influences the price shown on that package.

What happens when you stop focusing on human resources and start focusing on the human experience? Technology is advancing faster than human nature can keep up. If you want to stay relevant, you need a fundamental cultural reset, not just new software.  In this interview, Laura Cushing, the Chief People Experience Officer at Pacific Life, discusses the evolving intersection of organizational culture, employee engagement, and artificial intelligence. She emphasizes a strategic shift toward accountability and transparency as the balance of power moves back toward employers in a post-pandemic landscape. To prepare for an AI-driven future, Pacific Life has implemented a Gen AI Academy and Innovation Labs to demystify technology and help staff reimagine their workflows. Cushing highlights the rising importance of "power skills"—human-centric abilities like coaching and visionary leadership—which remain essential as technical tasks become automated. Ultimately, she argues that HR leaders must cultivate deep business acumen and proactive trust-building to successfully guide their workforces through digital transformation.

https://www.zurichna.com/This episode of Future of Risk is the first in Zurich U.S. data center podcast miniseries, where we look at the risk management challenges posed by the rapid expansion of data centers fueled by AI, cloud computing and digital transformation. For the kickoff episode, Wagner speaks with Tobias Cushing, U.S. Head of Construction, and Stephen Penwright, Head of Underwriting for U.S. National Accounts, about how hyperscale data centers are blurring the lines between construction and operations and how these billion‑dollar projects are integrating onsite power generation and testing the limits of insurance capacity. Cushing and Penwright highlight how data centers can remain a strong, insurable risk by building in resiliency, redundancy and safety from design through operations. This episode provides essential insights for risk managers, construction leaders, insurers and business decision‑makers navigating the expanding data center economy.Our host for this miniseries is Matt Wagner, a Regional Vice President with Zurich's Construction business.Record date: 4/10/26Air date: 5/20/26

PPID, often still called “Cushing's” in horses, is one of the most common diagnoses in older horses, but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, we're joined by Professor Andy Durham to break down what PPID actually is, why testing can be so confusing, and what owners can realistically expect when it comes to diagnosis and management.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-07-2026: Dr. Dawn debunks the 1971 "220 minus age" maximum heart rate formula, noting a 2025 study found individual predictions were off by up to 20 beats per minute. She recommends the Tanaka equation (208 minus age) times 0.7, but emphasizes tracking improvement trends rather than absolute numbers. ConsumerLab testing found Safe Catch Wild Elite Pure Tuna and Wild Ahi Yellowfin Tuna had no detectable mercury, prompting Dr. Dawn to reconsider eating tuna after years of avoidance due to concerns about mercury bioaccumulation and its effects on nerve microtubules. A meta-analysis of 115 studies involving 55,000 men found limiting ejaculation before IVF leads to increased sperm DNA damage and poorer motility. Clinical trials showed 46% IVF pregnancy rates with less than 48 hours abstinence versus 36% with longer periods. A personalized mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer showed striking results: of 16 patients whose tumors were surgically removed, half produced killer T-cells targeting cancer, and seven of those eight remain alive six years later. Pfizer and Valneva's Lyme disease vaccine reduced infection by over 70% in a trial of 9,400 people ages five and up. Nearly half a million Americans contract Lyme annually, and chronic infection can cause nervous system damage and chronic fatigue. Dr. Dawn explores the gray-market peptide ecosystem, where compounds are sold as "research chemicals" with wink-and-nod marketing. A 2018 Belgian study found purity levels ranging from 5% to 99.9%, with some samples containing arsenic, lead, or industrial contaminants. A study of 450 people found that blocking smartphone internet access for two weeks improved sustained attention equivalent to reversing 10 years of age-related cognitive decline, with depression symptom improvements comparable to cognitive behavioral therapy. A multi-country study of 241 unresponsive patients found that 25% showed brain activity indicating consciousness when asked to imagine playing tennis during advanced brain scans. Scientists call this cognitive motor dissociation, and by some estimates tens of thousands of Americans may be misdiagnosed. Chinese researchers grew functional adrenal cortex organoids that responded to pituitary hormones and produced cortisol when transplanted into mice. They also introduced genetic mutations to create organoid models of Cushing's syndrome for drug testing. A Science paper identified the neural pathway connecting psychological stress to eczema flare-ups: sympathetic neurons from the stellate ganglion recruit eosinophils to the skin. Researchers traced the pathway using pseudo-rabies virus injected into skin. Mouse studies showed prenatal stress causes elevated corticosterone in amniotic fluid, which activates fetal mast cells derived from the yolk sac. Offspring develop eczema-like lesions in areas receiving mechanical stimulation, but symptoms resolve around 24 weeks when bone marrow-derived mast cells replace the activated ones. Callers ask about CBN side effects. Dr. Dawn explains cannabinoids prolong anandamide's calming effects by slowing its breakdown, and considers 30-45mg over a night reasonable, but cautions against escalating doses given limited research.

Recess is often thought of as an “extra” activity in the school day. Sometimes it's even taken away from students as a punishment. But some schools think about recess as an integral part of the school day, where students get the opportunity to connect, practice important social and problem-solving skills they'll need for life.Others are taking it a step further and using it as a tool to help students feel more connected to their school experience, and to decrease chronic absenteeism and establish a school culture where kids feel like they belong at school. That's why I was so excited to connect with Elizabeth Cushing from Playworks.Elizabeth Cushing is CEO of Playworks, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of play to bring out the best in every child. Elizabeth joined Playworks in 2004 and was named President and COO in 2011 and CEO in 2020. She leads Playworks' Executive Team and is responsible for the organization's strategy, operations and fiscal health. During her tenure Elizabeth has played a lead role in designing Playworks' national scaling strategy including engaging national investors. Alongside founder, Jill Vialet, Elizabeth led the organization through a sustained period of growth from a San Francisco Bay Area-focus to a national organization with 14 teams across the country. As a result of strategic expansion, Playworks shares its unique brand of play and physical activity with 1,000 elementary schools reaching more than 1M children annually. For more than 30 years Elizabeth has served in leadership roles in nonprofit organizations focused on youth development, children's advocacy and women's issues. Elizabeth is a product of Oregon public schools, Stanford University and the Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs.In this conversation, we discuss:✅ Simple ways educators can set expectations and rules to create structure and a sense of safety around recess✅ How to use play as a reset and a preventative measure, instead of something that's taken away from kids as a punishment✅ How training kids as peer coaches can help decrease disruptive behaviors and help kids discover their own leadership potentialYou can learn more about Playworks on their website at: https://www.playworks.org/Resources mentioned in this interview include:Comprehensive Game Guide that Outlines Games Across Grade Levels: https://www.playworks.org/indiana/game-guide/The sister website for Playworks with tools for assessing the health of your school's recess: https://www.recesslab.org/In this conversation, I mentioned School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers design scalable executive functioning interventions to ensure students get the scaffolding they need across the school day.

Crude oil production from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin continues to grow, but U.S. PADD 2 refiners are already taking nearly as much as they can. Growing production could move into Cushing, OK, and Patoka, IL, but will there be enough pipeline capacity to reach the Gulf Coast? 

What happens when one of the most dreaded days on the calendar gets reimagined as a celebration of collective care? In this episode, Stupski Foundation CEO Glen Galaich and co-host Jamie Allison, executive director of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, use Tax Day to open up a bigger conversation about public responsibility, private wealth, and what taxes make possible. Jamie makes a joyful case for loving Tax Day, not in spite of what it asks of us, but because taxes fund the schools, roads, clean water, and public systems that hold our lives together. Together, she and Glen ask what it would mean to stop treating taxes as something to avoid and start seeing them as an investment in one another, while also asking whether philanthropy is putting its own tax-advantaged dollars to work with that same sense of responsibility. They are joined by Elizabeth Cushing, CEO of Playworks, a national nonprofit that helps nearly 1 million children each year build belonging, resolve conflict, and return to class ready to learn through structured play and recess. Elizabeth lays out the damaging impact of federal education funding cuts and tightening state budgets on kids across the country. She reframes the question of “how can philanthropy possibly backfill federal funding cuts” to “how can philanthropy act as a bridge in this moment to help nonprofits survive the next few hard years instead of forcing nonprofits to go it alone?”

This podcast episode provides nurses with a practical, clinically focused overview of Addison's disease and Cushing's disease, highlighting key differences in pathophysiology, presentation, and management.

Today we welcome to our podcasts Dr. Francesca Galbiati who recently joined the California Center for Pituitary Disorders at UCSF, where she cares for patients with pituitary tumors, acromegaly, Cushing's disease, and related hypothalamic conditions. She is originally from northern Italy and the first in her family to attend college, her path into medicine was driven by a love of science, a desire to work with people, and a passion for understanding how the human body works.  We had a delightful, candid discussion about delays in diagnosis , noting that pituitary disease remains underrepresented in medical education and that primary care physicians often miss early signs.  Among other subjects, we talked abut the promise of AI to aid in early diagnosis, and talked about the new emerging therapies and neuroimaging techniques 

A lot of us have heard about “high cortisol” in the context of stress. But Cushing’s syndrome, which has recently been in the news, is something very different. It’s pathologic cortisol excess that can quietly drive certain health problems. We spoke with Lewis Blevins, MD, a neuroendocrinologist specializing in pituitary, hypothalamic, and adrenal disorders, about what cortisol is meant to do, what Cushing’s syndrome really is, why diagnosis is often delayed, and what practical steps to take if you suspect something more than everyday stress. We also discuss the path to an accurate diagnosis and shared decision-making grounded in patient education.

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) | Hammer Horror & Peter Cushing Deep DiveWelcome to another atmospheric installment of the General Witchfinders podcast. In this episode, we are throwing chronology to the wind and jumping straight into the heart of the Hammer Films oeuvre. Having previously explored the Baron's first experiment in The Curse of Frankenstein and his final bow in Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, we now settle into the middle of the franchise with the 1967 cult classic: Frankenstein Created Woman.Directed by the undisputed master of gothic cinema, Terence Fisher, and featuring a career-defining performance by Peter Cushing, this film stands as one of the most intellectually provocative entries in the Hammer Horror canon. Interestingly, this is famously cited as one of Martin Scorsese's favorite films, proving that the brilliance of the Baron transcends the "B-movie" label.The Soul of Science: Baron Victor FrankensteinIn Frankenstein Created Woman, Peter Cushing returns as Baron Victor Frankenstein. Unlike earlier iterations where the focus was on the stitching of limbs and the reanimation of dead tissue, the screenplay by Anthony Hinds (writing as John Elder) takes a metaphysical turn. Here, the Baron is obsessed with the soul.The plot follows the wrongful execution of Hans Werner (Robert Morris), the lover of the physically scarred Christina Kleve (Susan Denberg). After Christina takes her own life in grief, the Baron captures Hans's soul and traps it within Christina's surgically repaired body. This results in a "soul-swapping" revenge thriller that remains unique within the Frankenstein series. Cushing's performance is refined, showing a Baron who is less of a graverobber and more of a cold, calculated philosopher of the macabre.The Legend of Susan Denberg and Nikki van der ZylThe casting of Susan Denberg is central to the film's legacy. A German-Austrian model and 1966 Playboy Miss August Playmate, Denberg was already known to sci-fi fans for her appearance in the Star Trek episode "Mudd's Women." While her visual presence is striking, the production decided her Austrian accent was too strong for the character.Enter the legendary Nikki van der Zyl. If you have watched a James Bond film, you have likely heard her voice. She famously dubbed Honey Ryder in Dr. No and provided dialogue for countless Bond girls and even Gert Fröbe in Goldfinger. Her work on Frankenstein Created Woman adds a layer of polished professional mystery to Christina's character, bridging the gap between Hammer Horror and the 1960s spy-fi aesthetic.The Hammer Character Actor NexusAs we always do at General Witchfinders, we track the "mother nexus" of British character actors who populated the halls of Bray Studios. This film is a treasure trove for genre enthusiasts:Thorley Walters (Dr. Hertz): A close personal friend of director Terence Fisher, Walters brings a much-needed warmth to the role of the Baron's assistant. Fans will recognize him as a recurring Doctor Watson in various Sherlock Holmes adaptations, including Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace.Duncan Lamont (Werner): A veteran of the Hammer stable, Lamont appeared in the original Quatermass Experiment and returned for the 1967 film version of Quatermass and the Pit. He is also a favorite of ours from The Creeping Flesh.Robert Morris (Hans Werner): Another Quatermass alum who brings a tragic weight to the first half of the film.Derek Fowlds (Johann): Long before he was a household name in Yes Minister and Heartbeat, Fowlds was a RADA scholar cutting his teeth in the world of horror.Production History: From Bray Studios to the ScreenThe road to Frankenstein Created Woman was long. It was originally mooted as a follow-up to The Revenge of Frankenstein in 1958, capitalizing on the popularity of Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. By the time it went into production at Bray Studios in July 1966, it was one of the penultimate productions at that iconic location.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti break down a stronger-than-expected January jobs report showing 130,000 new jobs added and unemployment ticking down to 4.3%. With wage growth accelerating and inflation still elevated, the discussion turns to whether the Federal Reserve has misread the economy and whether markets are wrongly pricing in rate cuts later this year. The hosts also explore how fiscal stimulus, tariffs, immigration shifts, and historically low unemployment complicate traditional economic modeling. Later in the hour, Todd Lutsky of Cushing & Dolan joins for “Ask Todd,” answering listener questions about irrevocable trusts, tax ID numbers, estate planning costs, and income flexibility within Medicaid planning structures.

Todd Lutsky of Cushing & Dolan answers listener questions about how to begin the estate planning process and what to expect when meeting with an attorney for the first time. He outlines key factors to consider—including age, asset size, family dynamics, and second marriages—and explains the difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts. Todd also breaks down the tax treatment of trusts, clarifying when a Social Security number is used versus when an EIN is required, and why the distinction matters.

Todd Lutsky of Cushing & Dolan breaks down the basics of estate planning, starting with how to properly value your estate and understand what actually counts toward estate taxes. The episode also takes listener questions, including a real-world scenario involving rental income, irrevocable trusts, Medicaid eligibility, and why income flow mistakes don't automatically derail an estate plan.

This week on The Show, we're joined by a true legend of the cow horse world — NRCHA $4 Million Rider Corey Cushing. As the first NRCHA professional to ever reach the four-million-dollar mark, Corey has firmly earned his place as one of the very best to do it. With four NRCHA Open Snaffle Bit Futurity wins and three The World's Greatest Horseman titles, he brings a lifetime of experience, perspective, and success to the table.Corey also brings some big news: Theorem Ranch has just acquired Teton Ridge's iconic TR9 Ranch & Equestrian Facility, along with the incredible legacy that comes with it. He shares what this exciting new partnership means and what's ahead for the program — and we can't wait to see how it all unfolds.From there, the conversation dives into Corey's journey — how he got started, making his first Snaffle Bit Futurity Finals, and even the time he fell off in front of Tom McCutcheon. We talk about the riders who inspire him, how he structures his training weeks while juggling three disciplines, and how both the reining and cow horse worlds have evolved over the years.Tom, Gunny, Joe, Cade, and Corey also get into training philosophy, including why it's important to always finish a pattern even when things don't go perfectly. The conversation then turns to family life and raising kids around horses — and why it's actually a good thing for them to have a few hobbies that don't involve horses. Cade laughs about how, looking back, he now really appreciates those high-school years before horses completely took over, and how important those moments end up being.It's a fun, insightful, and honest conversation with one of the most respected horsemen in the industry — someone who truly loves the horses, the sport, and the people who make it special.Thank you for joining us, Corey.

In this episode, I explain cortisol and science-based protocols for properly setting your cortisol rhythm, which can significantly increase your daytime energy, focus, mood, and stress resilience, while also improving your sleep quality. Most people mistakenly think cortisol is bad, and many assume their levels are too high, when in fact many health and performance challenges simply stem from a disrupted cortisol rhythm. Getting your cortisol rhythm right can be transformative for your health and performance. I outline behavioral, nutritional, and supplement-based strategies to raise or lower your cortisol levels at the appropriate times of day and night. I also provide specific protocols for overcoming burnout. If you're dealing with stress, low energy, hormone or sleep challenges—or simply want to optimize these for the sake of your physical and mental health and performance—this episode offers science-backed protocols to help.
