Maya Jade Frank joins the podcast to share the fascinating journey of a career that began with a serendipitous audition for her sister's project and led her to the Broadway stages of Evita and Mary Poppins. She opens up about the unique experience of growing up on the road with the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables, where she balanced three hours of daily schooling with visits to historical monuments and backstage "Docu-drama" marathons. Maya discusses the transition from being a child actor in New York to a Disney Channel star in Los Angeles, reflecting on how her supportive, non-theatre parents helped her stay grounded while she pursued a "normal" college experience at USC. The conversation dives deep into Maya's impressive ability to merge her creative passions with a sharp business mind. Beyond her current starring role as Zoe Murphy in the South Florida premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, she reveals the inner workings of her digital media company, Mangoes and Bubblegum, and her work as a global Pilates instructor. From her "morning jump around" ritual to early 2000s pop punk to her dreams of performing Shakespeare at the Globe, Maya exemplifies a modern multi-hyphenate artist who prioritizes physical health and analytical data just as much as her vocal warm-ups. Maya Jade Frank is a New York City native whose extensive credits include the Broadway revival of Evita, the final Broadway cast of Mary Poppins, and the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables. She received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on Nickelodeon's History and Heritage and appeared on Disney Channel's Bizaardvark. A graduate of the University of Southern California and the Royal Academy of Music in London, her recent stage work includes Next to Normal and the UK revival of Be More Chill. She is currently appearing in Dear Evan Hansen at the Actors' Playhouse in Coral Gables.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Rachel Reenstra. You know her from television, a seasoned host and performer with four Daytime Emmy nominations for The Wildlife Docs, and a creator who built D'Vine Detours in Sedona for real world connection. That background matters because it shows she understands how media works from the inside, how stories are shaped, and how audiences decide what to trust. But tonight the focus is why she stepped into the public square to ask harder questions, why she chose to keep speaking when it would have been easier to keep the spotlight without the controversy, and what she has learned about truth in a noisy world. Rachel says the years of COVID policy changed everything, from friendships to bookings to what could be said online. She has spoken about channel removals, suspensions, and coming back to rebuild an audience. Her current platform, NamaStayAWAKE, leans into spirituality, synchronicity, and contested headlines, and it does so with humor and heart. We are here to explore how she decides what deserves attention, how she stress tests a claim before she shares it, how she handles mistakes, and what it costs to keep going when critics are loud and incentives pull in the other direction. We will step into the live wires that define this moment. Digital ID is on that list, not as a sci fi scare but as a worry about identity, access, and quiet coercion. We will talk about the way a story can break at midnight and harden into a narrative by morning, about what gets amplified and what gets buried, and about the personal checklist she uses to decide whether to post now or wait for a better picture. We will look at the headlines people whisper about, the gaps that make honest people suspicious, and the difference between healthy skepticism and reckless speculation. Method and courage sit at the center of this conversation. How do you keep a spine when reputations and livelihoods are on the line. How do you hold compassion without losing skepticism. How do you correct in public without losing the will to speak. Rachel has stood on sets, in studios, and now in the open arena of the internet, and that range gives her a perspective on power, narrative, and silence that few people can offer. She still believes truth is not fragile, but people are, and that is why the way we talk matters. Two hours, no commercials, clear questions, straight answers.

Send us a textHAPPY NATIONAL CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK DAY!As you probably can tell, your papa is pretty excited about this one. Knowing personally the hard work and dedication it takes to create a children's book really helps me appreciate this day. When I wrote our books, I wanted to literally shrink down to the size of a kid and create a conversation with them, allowing them to create their own questions; giving them the control to hopefully allow light bulbs to turn on for both child and parent at the time when their bedroom lights turn off and night lights brighten the room right before bed. For this show, I really wanted to showcase happiness and nostalgia. Who better to have than the sensational Todd Parr and the ICONIC Highlights Magazine?!?First up, I welcome back New York Times Best Seller, Todd Parr!

Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Eeks is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Dwayne Godwin and cartoonist Dr. Jorge Cham, the creative duo behind Out of Your Mind, a book that makes neuroscience both fun and digestible—perfect for Nerds and Nerd Nots alike (yes, that's my podcast tagline). They kick things off with love—what it is, why we fall for some people and not others, and whether science could create a love potion that turns romance into a biochemical hostage situation. From love, they move to hate and how some people actually get addicted to hate. They'll also discuss AI—whether it could ever develop consciousness and what that might mean for humanity—before diving into addiction and the ongoing debate over how much of it is choice versus biology. They'll talk about happiness, whether money can actually buy it, and a bizarre true medical case of a man who, after a brain surgery gone wrong, was left permanently stuck in the present moment. Finally, they'll explore what happens when we die and whether the authors ever get existentially bummed out thinking about how fragile and robotic we really are. If you like science with a side of humor and deep, slightly absurd questions, this episode is for you. Dr. Dwayne Godwin is a neuroscientist, educator, and professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. His research focuses on abnormal brain rhythms, exploring calcium channel function, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury to develop potential treatments for neurological diseases. Beyond the lab, he is passionate about science outreach, co-creating Mind in Pictures for Scientific American Mind and contributing to blogs for the Society for Neuroscience and the Museum of the Moving Image. Dr. Jorge Cham is a Daytime Emmy-nominated, best-selling cartoonist and the creator of PHD Comics, a popular online comic strip about academia. He is the co-creator, Executive Producer, and Creative Director of Elinor Wonders Why, a top-rated PBS Kids animated series. Cham has co-authored several popular science books, including We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe and Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe, as well as the children's book Oliver's Great Big Universe. He also co-hosts and co-creates the hit podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe.
