How should a politician respond when a voter blames all their problems on immigration? In this week's Ex-Ministers' Questions, Ed Balls and George Osborne offer competing strategies for handling difficult conversations on the doorstep. They also tackle a stark warning from a Gen Z listener: is the political establishment's failure to listen pushing an entire generation of young people towards Nigel Farage?Then, the pair turn to the insider's playbook of political survival. They debate the pros and cons of the 'chicken run' - is it cowardly for a senior MP to abandon a marginal seat for a safe one, or simply smart politics? Ed reflects on his own experience of staying to fight a losing battle, while George makes the case for jumping ship.Plus, a listener's confession about leaking a story to a newspaper diary column prompts a hilarious look at political gaffes. Ed is forced to relive the moment his ministerial car door hit a pedestrian, and shares a mortifying story involving a fellow minister and a pole dancing pole.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

It's been one hell of a few weeks, and I'm honestly exhausted but in the best way possible.EmeroyTV had a solid week last week with strong progress on reactions - I've got about 20 left to finish up. This week was minimal progress since I literally haven't been able to sit at a computer until now. I've been either on set, filming, or in rehearsals nonstop. But I did manage to film more Street Woman Fighter episodes with Max and Lauren on Tuesday evening. These episodes are incredibly long, but we're pushing through because I want to keep this series going with the three of us who started it together. Max and I also knocked out a couple podcast episodes for Awkward Tea Party that'll drop in a few weeks.Temper Tantrum just wrapped our most ambitious "Temper Tantrum Versus" episode yet. We challenged the dancers to learn instruments and perform as a band in front of a live audience. They had one week to master My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay," and they absolutely crushed it. One group even learned an additional song on their own time. When the audience started singing along during the performance, I got goosebumps. This was our biggest production challenge ever - 9-10 cameras rolling simultaneously, 6-10 mics for audio coverage across multiple venues and shoot days.We're also gearing up for the Alhambra block party on September 6th if you're in the area. Unfortunately, our annual retreat got canceled due to scheduling conflicts, but we're planning a bonding day instead - something low-pressure where we can get out of LA and connect as a team outside of dance.My schedule as a dancer has been insane. Late night rehearsals from 4 PM to 12:30 AM, then right into Temper Tantrum work the next day. I'm choreographing for a music video this Saturday, and there are potential opportunities for judging and teaching at conventions coming up. Next week is going to be brutal with rehearsals from 6 PM to 3 AM on multiple nights, plus a Temper Tantrum performance on the 6th, followed by our new "Choreo Lab" project on the 7th.Visual Paradox filmed with our comedian client this past Tuesday focusing on reaction content, and we're experimenting with a new format tomorrow. We've got the podcast and reaction content dialed in, so now we're testing what else we can explore.Ochacha is deep in rehearsals for their September show, with auditions on September 7th for anyone with at least two years of dance experience who loves anime.The lesson this week? Recovery is everything. When you're juggling this much simultaneously, sleep becomes the difference maker. I've been using my sauna-pool-hot tub recovery protocol when possible, but honestly, sleep is what keeps me sharp enough to lead teams, perform, and handle client work without being mentally foggy.Sometimes you just have to trust the process and make sure you're taking care of yourself so you can show up fully for everything else

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Dr. Drew kicks things off by reacting to James Comey's bizarre new video professing his love for Taylor Swift, sparking a conversation about how everyone seems to be campaigning for public approval these days. Adam points out the unsettling trend of old TV personalities like Ellen and Bill Cosby, who were always dancing and performing for the cameras, later being exposed as deeply flawed individuals, and he compares that same off-putting behavior to politicians like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton with their awkward laughter. Dr. Drew dives into how cognitive dissonance has warped people's ability to think clearly, while the guys also revisit an old Loveline clip of Jewel singing live, leading to a discussion on how unreliable our memories can be compared to what actually happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's amazing how our family was discovering, step by step, God's plan for our lives. Thomas and I, came to Germany with one purpose, to share the gospel of Christ, that we had come to know in California. Our lives were transformed by Jesus, and we wanted nothing more than to share those truths. We were always a part of a team that worked together on each project at hand.  In a recent episode, I talked about the international folk dancers, that inspired us, with a desire to replicate their example. Many countries were represented through their traditional music, costumes and flags. Dancers and musicians of all ages, including children, brought so much joy tothe audience. At home that evening Thomas and I, talked about the idea of God's people being visible to the world, rather than only gathering, within the walls of the church buildings. We decided to start praying about how we could create something like this.

In May, the National Endowment for the Arts canceled at least $1 million in grants to San Francisco nonprofits alone. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for many artists. San Francisco dance leaders are saying they're more strained now than ever and they're left trying to find their footing.

Dancers are trying to find their footing while funding for the arts dries up. Today, we meet a dance group on a mission to keep turning. And, the legacy of one of the Bay Area's most iconic artists. The art of Ruth Asawa.
