The Bible is arguably the world's most influential book, but do we really know what it says? Every day across social media and in homes, businesses, and public spaces, people try to cut debate short by claiming that "the Bible says so!" However, they commonly disagree about what it actually does and doesn't say, particularly when it comes to socially significant issues. For instance, does the Bible say we should be on the lookout for an antichrist associated with the number 666? Does it say women shouldn't wear revealing clothing? Does it say it's okay to hit your kids?In The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues (St. Martin's Essentials, 2025), Dan McClellan leverages his popular "data over dogma" approach, and his years of experience in the academy and on social media, to lay out in clear and accessible ways what the data indicate the Bible does and doesn't say about issues ranging from homosexuality, abortion, and slavery to monotheism, inspiration, and even God's wife. The Bible Says So is an invaluable resource for our fractious times. Interviewees: Dan McClellan is an award-winning public scholar of the Bible. He has over one million followers on social media and is a host on the Data Over Dogma Podcast. Dan received his PhD from the University of Exeter and is currently an honorary fellow at Birmingham University's Cadbury Centre for the Public Understanding of Religion. Host: Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Brooklyn Odyssey: My Journey out of Hasidism and Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism.

Sometimes the connections which bring people to Odd Fellowship are short and direct.  Sometimes they span a continent.  In Bing Martin's case, it was his friend Thomas Guilliams of St. Helena Lodge #167 in Northern California who prompted him to find a lodge near his home in Chicago.  That lodge turned out to be Irving Park Lodge #190.  When he first made contact with the lodge, he found the classic group of elderly men who kept the lodge going but had no ideas for how to grow or expand.  Through Thomas' guidance, Bing persisted, even going out to California to take his Degrees in the St. Helena lodge.  Eventually it paid off and now Irving Park is one of Illinois' fastest-growing lodges.  Bing and Thomas relate the winding, cross-country tale of how they both came to be Odd Fellows and how that tale also includes Kris Gratz of Virginia joining the Odd Fellows.  The Shoutout goes to yet another new Encampment (and another one in Oregon, no less): Wimawhala Encampment No. 6.  In the Odd Podge, Toby happily shares his experience at the Theta Rho Girls' Club Installation, Ainslie tells us about the escape room his lodge visited and their long-traveling member who has returned, Thomas thanks us for hosting him on the podcast, Bing shares his gratitude for the help he received in joining, and Meredith spills the beans about an upcoming event at the historic Texas Theater in Dallas (yes, *THAT* Texas Theater) featuring our favorite pro-fraternal movie, Join Or Die!

How can a movement as small as a five-degree change in your knee or shoulder position dramatically improve your skiing efficiency? In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas talks with PSIA-AASI National Team member Justin Arndt about his recent 32 Degrees article, “Micro Adjustments: A Practice for Developing Efficiency.” Justin explains how subtle changes in body position—like shifting your center of mass, adjusting knee angles, or refining pole placement—can significantly impact balance, power, and efficiency on snow. Justin also shares how these ideas translate across cross country, alpine, telemark, and snowboard instruction, and how instructors can help guests experiment with small adjustments that create big performance gains. Watch this episode on YouTube to see Justin demonstrate these micro adjustments and tutorials visually. His examples make it easy to understand how tiny movements can lead to more powerful, efficient skiing. The conversation also covers: - Why efficiency is the foundation of cross country skiing - How micro adjustments can improve skiing across disciplines -Teaching strategies for helping students feel subtle movement changes - Details about the upcoming Cross Country Academy at Mt. Bachelor Whether you're an instructor, certification candidate, or simply looking to ski more efficiently, this episode offers practical insights you can apply on your next day on snow.

Today I'm speaking with economist Bryan Caplan about education and bullshit, with a particular focus on his book, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money (Princeton University Press, 2018). In our modern economy, possessing a college degree feels like a necessity for professional advancement. The age of good jobs for college dropouts is largely gone as more people spend more time in the classroom, writing papers, taking tests, and, of course, goofing off. On the one hand, policymakers celebrate the additional degrees attained by more people. Surely a more educated society means a more intelligent and productive one. It's no secret that college grads make more money than dropouts, and high school grads make more than those who didn't complete 12th grade. Why is this the case? Does more education truly endow students with the skills necessary to succeed in the working world, or does education merely serve to certify that an individual has the intelligence and people skills needed to succeed? If the primary value of education is to signal conformity to employers' expectations, then education as we know it is a waste of time, energy, and money. Degrees range in practicality, but most—like economics—hardly spend time teaching the kinds of skills that translate to the jobs most graduates actually take. As Bryan puts it, “As far as I can tell, the only marketable skill I teach is how to be an economics professor.” The world certainly needs some economics professors, but the sentiment behind the point reflects an undeniable dirty little secret. Professors, by and large, teach students about their favorite subjects, not skills for career success. For years, I've trumpeted the line that the purpose of higher education is not to teach skills but rather to teach students how to think. The Case Against Education deflates this argument with statistics and great humor. As the type of student who loved taking Russian literature, political philosophy, and economic history, I'm thrilled to speak with Bryan Caplan about bullshit and education.

Today I'm speaking with economist Bryan Caplan about education and bullshit, with a particular focus on his book, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money (Princeton University Press, 2018). In our modern economy, possessing a college degree feels like a necessity for professional advancement. The age of good jobs for college dropouts is largely gone as more people spend more time in the classroom, writing papers, taking tests, and, of course, goofing off. On the one hand, policymakers celebrate the additional degrees attained by more people. Surely a more educated society means a more intelligent and productive one. It's no secret that college grads make more money than dropouts, and high school grads make more than those who didn't complete 12th grade. Why is this the case? Does more education truly endow students with the skills necessary to succeed in the working world, or does education merely serve to certify that an individual has the intelligence and people skills needed to succeed? If the primary value of education is to signal conformity to employers' expectations, then education as we know it is a waste of time, energy, and money. Degrees range in practicality, but most—like economics—hardly spend time teaching the kinds of skills that translate to the jobs most graduates actually take. As Bryan puts it, “As far as I can tell, the only marketable skill I teach is how to be an economics professor.” The world certainly needs some economics professors, but the sentiment behind the point reflects an undeniable dirty little secret. Professors, by and large, teach students about their favorite subjects, not skills for career success.

Is your family tree a bit... messy? If you feel like your life is full of sibling rivalry, deception, or "unanswered" prayers, you are in good company. From the tents of Isaac and Rebekah to the wrestling match at Peniel, the story of Jacob proves that God doesn't call perfect people—He transforms people who are willing to hold on until they receive a blessing. Summary: In this massive study of Genesis 24–36, we follow the Covenant through three generations of trials, travels, and transformations. We look past the "Sunday School" versions of these stories to see the grit and grace required to stay on the Covenant Path. Finding Rebekah: We analyze the decisiveness of Rebekah in Genesis 24—a woman who was willing to leave everything she knew for a promise she hadn't seen yet. The Birthright Conflict: We dive into the controversial "deception" of Isaac. Was it a trick, or was Rebekah ensuring God's will was done? We explore the heavy price of prioritizing the temporal over the eternal. Jacob's Ladder: We break down the symbolism of the "stairway to heaven" at Bethel and how Jacob turned a cold stone pillow into a temple-like encounter with the Divine. Leah and Rachel: We discuss the years of labor and the "comparative" heartbreak of Leah and Rachel, seeing how God remembers those who feel unloved. Wrestling with God: We finish with the most pivotal moment in Jacob's life—his night-long wrestle. We learn that "Israel" means "Let God Prevail" and discover how we can also prevail through our trials. Call-to-Action: Jacob had to return to "Bethel" to find his way again. Where is your "Bethel"? Where do you go when you need to remember your covenants? Let's discuss in the comments!

Labour is losing the voters it used to count on, a new study reveals.In the aftermath of the Green Party's triumph in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and with local elections in London councils and other major cities coming up, Labour is losing the left progressive voters it could once rely on having “nowhere else to go”.Now, the biggest study ever of these voters – shared exclusively with the New Statesman – reveals the true risk to Labour's future of leaving them behind.This work, done by surveying 10,000 voters and a randomised control trial style approach, has found out who the so-called progressive defectors are, why they're deserting Labour, and what impact this could have on Labour's electoral prospects.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Steve Akehurst of Persuasion UK who co-authored this report with 38 Degrees.LISTEN AD-FREE:

Fifteen years ago, Pastor Steve Ruetschle was left paralyzed after a catastrophic motorcycle accident. Doctors told him he would never walk again.But this episode is not primarily about a medical outcome. It is about something deeper.In this conversation, Steve reflects on the different ways God heals, the power of community, and what it means to participate in the fellowship of suffering. He shares how the faith of others carried him when he could not believe for himself, how pain can either harden the heart or deepen it, and how redemptive healing does not always mean the removal of suffering. This is a thoughtful and pastoral conversation about chronic pain, unanswered prayer, community, gratitude, and the surrounding love of God.If you are walking through illness, loss, or long term suffering, this episode offers a steady reminder that you are not alone and that God's faithful love surrounds you even here.(0:00) Introduction and How Steve's Story Reached Space for Life(2:19) The Motorcycle Accident and Becoming Quadriplegic(6:31) Degrees of Paralysis and Living with Chronic Pain(11:26) Community and the Story of the Paralytic(16:00) The Turning Point and Moving His Toe(21:10) Different Types of Healing(30:06) Redemptive Healing and the Fellowship of Suffering(36:33) Guarding Against Bitterness(45:09) A Word for Those Walking Through PainLove the show?

Hey there, I'm Dustin Breeze, your AI meteorologist! I process data faster than a supercell forms, so you get accurate forecasts instantly.Welcome back to the weather segment, folks! I'm absolutely stoked to break down what Mother Nature's cooking up for New York City today, and trust me, it's going to be a wet one. We've got rain moving in, and I mean serious precipitation. This isn't just a light sprinkle scenario.So here's the deal with today's weather in New York City. We're looking at a one hundred percent chance of rain throughout the day, and honestly, you could say conditions are looking pretty precipitous right now. That's my weather pun for the day, and I'm sticking with it! We're expecting between a quarter and three quarters of an inch of rainfall depending on which part of the city you're in. The rain kicks off this morning around five o'clock and continues into the evening. Temperatures are going to be chilly, dropping from around forty degrees down to the upper thirties by evening. We've also got some patchy fog hanging around, so visibility could be sketchy out there. Northeast winds are going to pick up to around five to ten miles per hour in the morning, gusting up to fourteen miles per hour by tonight.Now let's talk about the Weather Playbook, because I want to explain something called wind shear. When you have different wind speeds and directions at different altitudes, that's wind shear, and it's absolutely crucial for severe weather formation. In this case, our northeast winds are actually helping to organize this rain system. It's like nature's way of choreographing a storm dance!Alright, your three day forecast. Thursday we've got that rain I mentioned, high near thirty nine Fahrenheit. Friday clears up a bit with just a twenty percent chance of rain in the morning and a high near forty four Fahrenheit. Saturday's looking better with a high near fifty six Fahrenheit, but showers return Saturday night with a seventy percent chance of precipitation. So honestly, pack that umbrella tight if you're heading to Times Square or anywhere else in the five boroughs this week.Stay dry out there, New York! Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast because we drop forecasts regularly. Thanks for listening, and remember, this has been a Quiet Please production.

Back in December,  the Trump administration sent thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into Minnesota. They terrorized communities, took people from their homes, and murdered two American citizens. Climate groups helped lead the resistance.  In this episode of A Matter of Degrees, a city stands up to state violence. We bring on Aru Shiney-Ajay, the executive director of the Sunrise Movement, to tell us about leading on the frontlines in Minneapolis. Then we talk to Ben Passer, the McKnight Foundation's Midwest Climate Director, about how preserving democracy is key to climate action.

Trust has always been the invisible architecture beneath brands, institutions, and markets. But today, that architecture is shifting. For the past decade, we've moved through distinct eras of trust. First came consequence brands, which positioned themselves around measurable moral impact. Then came emotion-led brands, where what felt right became the guiding force. Now we appear to be entering a third era, where trust is built not on credentials or transparency, but on visible sacrifice and embodied virtue. As institutional continuity weakens and shared reality fragments, credibility reorganizes around individuals. “Proof of knowing” carries less weight than “proof of doing.” Degrees, affiliations, and institutional endorsements are no longer sufficient signals. Instead, audiences look for lived experience, personal risk, and skin in the game. At the same time, many of the platforms designed to increase transparency have reduced everyday vulnerability. But true trust requires vulnerability. As a result, trust is reemerging in smaller, more intimate spaces where shared stakes and emotional exposure create safety. In this episode of Unseen Unknown, Jasmine and Jean-Louis explore how trust systems evolve, why incremental positioning feels insufficient in the current cultural climate, and what this shift means for founders and brands trying to remain credible. When trust becomes the product itself, the rules change.

Growing up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn as a member of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic Orthodox Jewish community, Zalman Newfield was raised in an atmosphere of strict gender segregation, rigorous religious education, and nearly all-consuming ritual practices. Trained to be a Lubavitch emissary, he traveled around the world doing Jewish outreach to help usher in the messianic redemption. However, after exposure to the wider world, he abandoned the faith of his youth. Brooklyn Odyssey: My Journey Out of Hasidism (Temple University Press, 2026) is Newfield's poignant and hopeful memoir about exiting Orthodoxy. He recounts asserting his individuality and taking the radical step of shaving his beard. Reflective about his upbringing, Newfield is open to and curious about a world beyond Brooklyn while also maintaining his profound bond with his family and Jewish tradition. He writes candidly about his emotional, intellectual, and social experiences in and out of the Lubavitch community. From pivotal moments of devastation, including the illness and death of his younger brother and of his revered spiritual leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, to moments of joyful resolve, including the decision to pursue a doctorate and marry a non-Orthodox Jew, Newfield takes readers on his moving and impactful journey. Zalman Newfield is Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple).

Student loans have been a source of stress for many of us—but with recent policy changes, shifting repayment requirements, and proposed funding cuts to certain graduate programs, that stress has reached a new level. From confusion about repayment restarting, to fears about forgiveness programs disappearing, to conversations about “reclassifying” degrees like nursing, psychology, and social work, there’s a lot of information circulating—and not all of it is accurate. To help us sort through what’s really happening and what we can actually do about it, I’m joined by Dr. Sonia Lewis, also known as The Student Loan Doctor. Dr. Lewis is a financial expert who has helped tens of thousands of borrowers navigate repayment, forgiveness, and financial strategy. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cassandra Lester. Purpose of the Interview The interview introduces Cassandra Lester’s nonprofit Grow Give Prosper and its partnership with Google’s “Grow with Google” initiative. The goal is to provide free career certification scholarships to underserved and economically impacted communities, helping individuals increase earning potential and gain financial literacy. Key Takeaways Mission of Grow Give Prosper Founded in 2023, focused on financial education and empowerment. Aims to help communities grow together, give to each other, and prosper collectively. Google Partnership Offers free career certifications in high-demand fields: Cybersecurity Data Analytics Digital Marketing & E-commerce IT Support Project Management UX Design Certifications are self-paced, online, and typically take 3–6 months. No prior experience required; participants receive a portfolio upon completion. Accessibility Scholarships are free; the only requirement is commitment. Available to anyone in the continental U.S., regardless of education level (GED, college dropout, etc.). Registration via growgiveprosper.org (scroll to Google Career Scholarships). Impact Over 300 scholarships awarded; previously had 500. Designed to level the playing field for those without Ivy League degrees. Certifications can stack (e.g., Project Management + Data Analytics) for greater career potential. Financial Literacy Defined as understanding financial concepts and applying them to daily life. Misconceptions persist—some communities avoid discussing money or undervalue credit scores. Cassandra emphasizes breaking cycles of predatory lending and poor financial habits. Challenges Cultural reluctance to discuss money. Skepticism about legitimacy of programs. Difficulty securing grants as a small nonprofit. Cassandra combats these through grassroots outreach and workshops. Personal Drive Cassandra’s passion stems from seeing financial struggles across all demographics. She actively promotes opportunities through community centers, adult education classes, and social media.

Three weeks ago, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum shared an unusual tweet: a cartoon image of himself with his arm draped around a giant, anthropomorphized lump of coal. This piece of coal has big googly eyes and a smudge of a nose, and is wearing a safety vest and a hard hat. He is, frankly, adorable—and he has a name: Coalie.When Coalie first appeared on the internet, he went viral—ridiculed on social media, in newsletters, and even on late night talk shows. And that's because this big-eyed, cute piece of coal was widely understood to be coal propaganda, a tool to soften the coal industry's image.But the truth about Coalie is more complicated. His origins tell a story about what it's like for federal employees to try to do their work while navigating the Trump administration's agenda. Coalie may be widely seen as a mascot for coal mining, but that's not what he was made for.In this episode, you'll hear from Simone Randolph, Director of Communications for the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE); Sara Eckert, formerly of OSMRE; Slate staff writer Nitish Pahwa; and Leah Stokes, who researches climate and energy policy at the University of California, Santa Barbara and co-hosts the podcast A Matter of Degrees.Thank you to Daniel Raimi, Tony Ho Tran, and Hannah Northey.This episode was written by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung and produced by Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer.

Over the past year, the Trump administration has been eliminating policies aimed at slowing down climate change – and now, it may go even further. This week, the Environmental Protection Agency plans to repeal the “endangerment finding” that has been the scientific basis of rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions since 2009. To talk more about this endangerment finding and where the fight against climate change goes from here, we spoke to Leah Stokes. She's an associate professor at UC Santa Barbara where she works on climate and clean energy policy and co-host of the climate podcast, A Matter of Degrees. And in headlines, Department of Homeland Security officials testify before Congress, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admits to lunching with his kids on Epstein Island, and the Trump administration takes down a rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City.Show Notes: Check out Leah's podcast – https://www.degreespod.com/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
