Guarding your joy while leading high-stakes work is not optional. It is the only way to last. Dr. David Johns sits down with Alex Raymond for a conversation on what it means to lead without losing yourself. What keeps you grounded when the work feels endless? How do you stay in the fight without letting it consume you? Drawing from his journey, from growing up in Inglewood to serving in the Obama White House and now leading the National Black Justice Coalition, Dr. Johns shares how his leadership is shaped by purpose, community, and a deep sense of responsibility. He talks about centering the voices that are too often excluded, especially in education, and calls out the difference between performative gestures and true accountability. He reflects on the emotional cost of this work, the need for spaces that restore rather than drain, and why joy is something worth protecting at all costs. The episode also touches on his podcast, Teach the Babies, and his belief that love and dignity must be foundational in any conversation about democracy and schooling. For entrepreneurs trying to lead with both heart and backbone, Alex and Dr. Johns' conversation is a reminder that you don't have to choose between ambition and integrity, and that doing the hard thing doesn't mean doing it alone.

In this soul-nourishing episode of "Teach the Babies," host Dr. David Johns sits down with doula, author, and maternal health advocate Latham Thomas, founder of Mama Glow. Together, they explore the revolutionary act of reclaiming birth as a sacred, communal experience deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom.Latham shares her journey to becoming a doula after her own transformative birth experience, which led her to create Mama Glow, an organization that has trained over 3,000 doulas nationwide. In a healthcare system where Black women face dramatically higher maternal mortality rates, Latham's work stands as both resistance and restoration.The conversation delves into how doulas serve as modern-day midwives, holding space for birthing individuals while helping them access their ancestral magic during this powerful transition. Latham illuminates how birth is meant to be experienced in community rather than in isolation, with profound insights on how even non-birthing individuals physically change to support new life.From the power of language as a tool for healing to the alchemy that transforms trauma into joy, this episode offers wisdom for anyone interested in reproductive justice, community building, and reclaiming African ways of being. As Latham beautifully articulates, "It's not enough to survive—our birthright is transcendence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

As the nights draw in and the cosy glow of a fire gets evermore inviting, it is the perfect time to share stories. It is not surprising that ghost stories have an enduring appeal. Many stories of the canal feature them. Ghosts like the canal networks themselves create a link between our worlds and the past. Tonight we enjoy the skill of Ian Douglas' retelling of a ghostly encounter at Blisworth tunnel and why these stories are important. Journal entry:18th November, Friday.“Stainless steel An empty room. The stark coldness of strip lighting. The white skirting board is scuffed. The head-swimming bite of the scent of Eugenol and dentistry.I look around for old copies of Giles cartoon annuals And dog-eared editions of Punch, But there are none.Outside oak leaves shimmer Against an ocean of sky blue.”Episode Information:In this episode I read Ian Douglas' account of the ghostly encounter in Blisworth Tunnel (and his epilogue) as told in his (2021) Folk Tales from the Canal Side published by The History Press. You can watch David Johns' (Cruising the Cut) own ‘ghostly' encounter at the tunnel here: Is this a ghostly encounter at the Blisworth tunnel?I also read a short extract from Storm Dunlop's (2021) Weather Almanac 2022 published by Harper Collins and make a reference to Allan Scott-Davies' (2010) book Shadows on the Water: The Haunted Canals and Waterways of Britain also published by The History Press. The earlier episode on the liminal nature of canals is: Ep 5 ‘Down the cut'.The soundtrack for the tunnel story was recorded cruising through Shrewley Tunnel in August 2021.General DetailsIn the intro and the outro, Saint-Saen's The Swan is performed by Karr and Bernstein (1961) and available on CC at archive.org.

How great would it be to make a living as a professional Hot Wheels customizer? Not many diecast fans get to live that dream, and even fewer have managed to make it their profession for two decades. Chris Walker and his Night Stalker Customs have found their way into the Diecast Hall of Fame and the shelves of some folks even your grandma has heard of. Don't miss it!

This year's Pride Month comes at a difficult time for LGBTQ+ rights. Over the past year, there have been over 300 anti-LGBTQ bills proposed in at least 28 states, including Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill that aims to limit LGBTQ+ discussion in schools, and a bill in Ohio that would ban transgender women from participating in high school and college athletics that includes a “verification process” of checking the genitals of those accused of being transgender. On TechTank, Samantha Lai, guest host and research assistant at the Center for Technology Innovation, is joined by David Johns, executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, and Chris Wood, executive director and co-founder of LGBT Tech, to discuss how technology concerns surrounding privacy, content moderation, facial recognition, and more shape the online experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.

If you can think of a car related job, @Fireball Tim Lawrence has done it in full scale and miniature as well. From the 1989 Batmobile to Herbie the Love Bug, Fireball has had his hand in hundreds of iconic film and TV moments AND had his designs featured on a run of Johnny Lightning Diecasts (and those aren't even the most interesting things he's done). The living Dieast Hero returns to chat some more about working and living in Hollywood design and car culture, some of the amazing folks he's met working as a designer, and the philosophy that's empowered him to keep following his dreams. (Plus we get a special surprise bonus mini interview!) We're also once again joined by Rob of @Scale Enthusiasm to talk diecast car news and Chuck and Rob break down their tips for picking for used diecasts and how to track your collection to avoid those pesky duplicate buys. Finally, keep an eye out for the keyword of the day for a chance to win one of Fireball Tim's coloring books featuring legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen.

"The most expensive hobby in the world starts at $.99." We've all heard the adage before, and many of us guilty of at least the occasional overindulgence in our collecting. So what happens when the collection goes too far? Is that possible? Mark, David, and Chuck talk about diecast collecting long term. How sustainable is it? How do you maintain control without feeling like you're missing out? Let us know how you're managing your diecast car collecting habit in the comments. Plus, when it comes to customizing Hot Wheels, few builders are as imaginative and clever as Romanian builder Romeo about the inspirations behind some of his wildest builds.
