Dr. Dawn Mussallem is a Mayo Clinic oncologist who survived stage 4 cancer at 26, heart failure, and a heart transplant—then became the first person to run a marathon within a year of receiving a new heart. This conversation explores the integrative approach to cancer treatment, why exercise might be as powerful as chemotherapy, the self-flagellation patients feel despite doing everything right, and the profound role of mindset in survival. Typically, my guests fall into two buckets—incredible story or incredible expertise. I don't know that I've ever had a guest who inhabits both worlds the way Dawn does. Her story is super inspirational, and the information is equally impactful. Enjoy!

CHRONICLES OF THE BLACK DEATH: From bird-masked doctors filling their beaks with rose petals to an entire city dancing itself to death, the history of plague is far stranger — and far more disturbing — than most people realize. And when a 20th-century outbreak hit San Francisco, the government's response wasn't to fight the disease — it was to cover it up. | #WDRadio WEEK OF FEB 15, 2026==========HOUR ONE: About 80 years after the black plague began, a different plague came upon England – a fatal one that would cause you to almost instantly perspire to death. (Death By Sweat) *** Most everyone is familiar with the plague in Europe in the early 1400s – but in the early 1900s it struck again. This time in San Francisco. If you've not heard that before, it could be because the U.S. government tried to cover it up. (The Plague of San Francisco) *** Of all the imagery that comes to mind when hearing the words “bubonic plague” the most prevalent is most certainly that of the doctors – and the odd, bird-like masks they would wear. Why they dressed that way is interesting – but what the doctors did while wearing those suits and in their labs as they tried to battle the illness is absolutely horrifying. (Plague Doctors) *** And it probably comes as no surprise that something so deadly and horrific as the black plague would leave behind some residual paranormal energy – and boy is there a lot of it. (A Plague of Ghosts)==========HOUR TWO: During the bubonic plague in the early Middle-Ages, those who became sick and were even suspected of having the plague, were forced to relocate to a quarantined island – Poveglia Island. The gruesomeness that took place there still continues today, with the island being illegal to visit – and reportedly, very haunted. (Inside Black Plague Island) *** We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death – CONTINUED) *** Europe just could not escape plagues of any kind – for example, the plague that made you, against your will, keep dancing until you dropped dead.

We are officially living the "O-head" Olympic lifestyle, but the podium isn't all glory. This week, we're debating Lindsey Vonn's controversial decision to compete on a torn ACL. Was it a display of heart, or did she rob a healthy athlete of their shot at gold? Plus, we break down the most unhinged post-race interview in history: a Norwegian bronze medalist who decided a global broadcast was the perfect place to trauma-dump about his infidelity and recent breakup.The conversation takes a serious turn as we dive into the Lucy Letby case. We analyze the trial of the neonatal nurse convicted of murdering infants and ask the tough question: was justice served, or did a flawed medical system produce a flawed trial?We also tackle the modern feminist dilemma of splitting the bill on a first date and explore the dark side of the creator economy—YouTubers who use FOIA requests to profit off body cam footage of women being arrested. Finally, Sarah is prepping for jury duty, and we're taking bets on how long it takes her to turn the courtroom into a Law & Order episode. #LucyLetby #OlympicDrama #LindseyVonn #TrueCrimePodcast #FirstDateEtiquetteBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYFor a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandyHead to https://www.brodo.com/CANDY for 20% off your first subscription order and use code CANDY for an additional $10 off.

I always thought manifesting was about thinking, visualizing, and waiting. My talk with Colette Baron-Reid turned that idea on its head. She showed me that the ancient, physical act of drawing is the missing neurological link between a spiritual desire and tangible reality.

Grief is heavier for kids today. Divorce. Death. Global crises. Friendship fractures. Family instability. Even exposure to constant news cycles. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy talk honestly about what it looks like to help children process grief, without rushing them, fixing them, or forcing conversations they're not ready to have. Before diving in, Dr. Kathy recommends an outstanding resource: childgrief.org, created by Dr. Shelley Melia of Dallas Baptist University. It's a thoughtful, research-based site devoted specifically to understanding child grief.

In this episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, hosts John and Ryan dive into a wide range of gaming news, retro games, and tabletop adventures. They kick things off with fresh additions to their collections, John's latest Dungeons & Dragons campaign plans, and gameplay impressions of Valkyrie Profile. Ryan also shares his ongoing journey through Dragon Quest—complete with a surprising fitness‑focused gaming routine. The discussion heats up as the duo breaks down Guilty Gear mechanics, the bizarre and controversial rumor linking Pokémon Go to Epstein Island, and the challenges facing High Guard as it struggles to maintain its player base. They reflect on the evolving landscape of modern video games, the importance of character selection in fighting games, and the powerful role of nostalgia in shaping gaming experiences. Later, John and Ryan explore the influence of Jeff Keighley on major game launches, the uncertain future of live‑service games, and the growing excitement around new God of War projects. They also discuss the evolution of Kena: Bridge of Spirits and recent trailer for Silent Hill. The episode wraps with a look at the Super Nintendo classic “We're Back!” and whether it's worth picking up for under $10 in today's retro market. 00:00 Introduction to the Game Deflators Podcast 02:24 Game Pickups and Dungeons & Dragons Adventures 06:11 Exploring Valkyrie Profile Gameplay 14:54 Ryan's Journey with Dragon Quest and Fitness Gaming 18:44 Guilty Gear Journey and Fighting Game Mechanics 29:28 Mastering Fighting Games: Footsies and Edge Guarding 32:18 Transitioning from Pokémon to Gaming News 34:50 The Rise and Fall of High Guard 42:58 Anticipating New Releases: God of War and Beyond 49:20 Exciting Announcements: Kena and Project Winless 01:03:31 Reflections on Game Quality 01:05:44 Inflation Deflation 01:11:20 Nostalgia and Movie Adaptations Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

This episode is brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. African Climate Futures (Oxford UP, 2025) shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics. At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures. Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism.

Episode 100 In Part 2 of Domestic Detonation, we move deeper into the investigation and unravel how a domestic violence case escalated into a coordinated bombing plot that nearly claimed multiple lives. As investigators began connecting the devices, forensic evidence and witness testimony painted a chilling picture of planning, coercion, and control — revealing just how far one person was willing to go to keep a partner from leaving. We explore the forensic evidence that helped build the case, including tool mark comparisons, and discuss the strengths and limitations of these techniques in the broader context of modern forensic science. We also walk through the critical moments that prevented additional bombs from being delivered, highlighting how coordination between investigators and rapid communication helped stop further attacks before they could occur. This case is a stark reminder of how domestic violence can escalate and how manipulation and coercive control can lead to extreme violence. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

A sermon on Ecclesiastes 7:1 - 9:12. Speaker: Mike Jones
Ephesians 2: From Death to Life — Remember Your Before Story (But God) In this message from Ephesians 2:1–3, the speaker urges the audience to open the Bible text and confront the reality of their “before story” apart from Jesus: being spiritually dead because of disobedience and sin. Using conversations with addiction recovery ministry leaders, he explains how recovery communities don't debate the seriousness of their past, while many Christians tend to edit their own stories, compare themselves to others, and place people in buckets. He connects Paul's words to the context of Ephesus in Acts 19, where believers turned from sorcery and idol worship, then emphasizes Paul's leveling statement, “all of us,” showing everyone shared the same condition outside of God. The sermon warns that forgetting why Jesus was needed leads to lost urgency and diminished evangelism. It highlights the turning point in the passage—“but God”—and the role of grace: salvation as God's gift, not earned by good works, described as both pardon from sin and power to obey. The message closes with two reflection questions—where listeners are still trying to earn what God has already given and where they are editing their story—and an invitation to changed life through Jesus, followed by prayer. 00:00 Wake Up, Journey: Phones Out & Open to Ephesians 2 01:02 A Recovery Ministry Story: No One Argues They Were ‘Dead' 03:19 Stop Editing Your Before Story: We're All in the Same Bucket 05:00 Read Ephesians 2:1–3 — ‘Once You Were Dead' 06:53 What ‘Dead' Really Means: More Than Physical or Eternal 11:15 Ephesus Context: Sorcery, Artemis, and the Power of Darkness 14:14 The Recovery Relapse Spiral: Layers of Death Unpacked 17:36 ‘All of Us' — The Level Ground & Why Forgetting Is Dangerous 20:48 The Turning Point: ‘But God' Mercy, Grace, and New Life 23:20 Grace Explained: Gift, Not Reward — Pardon & Power to Obey 25:54 Two Gut-Check Questions: Earning vs. Editing Your Story 29:13 Invitation to Jesus & Closing Prayer

This episode is brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. African Climate Futures (Oxford UP, 2025) shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics. At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures. Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism.

Love is supposed to be in the air on Valentine's Day — roses, proposals, appreciation and hearts everywhere you look. It's supposed to be the most romantic day of the year – but for some people, in the accounts I bring this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, February 14th didn't end with chocolates and kisses, for love wasn't in the air that day at all for them.Instead, murder was.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, and one account involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

In this important conversation, I sit down with Cortney Donelson, author of Loving Them to Death, to talk about one of the most emotionally charged issues in our culture: love. What if the way culture defines love isn't actually loving? What if affirmation without truth is doing more harm than good? We unpack how "love" has been redefined to mean unconditional approval, why that definition falls short of the biblical standard, and how Christians are often pressured to compromise truth in order to appear compassionate. Cortney shares why untethering love from God's design doesn't rescue people — it enables destruction. We also discuss what it really looks like to love people well: speaking truth with courage, refusing emotional manipulation, and anchoring our compassion in the character of Christ. If you've ever been told you're unloving for holding to Scripture, this episode will equip you to think clearly and respond biblically.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The DHS warning about Kouri Richins isn't just about her case. It's about what we're missing.America's autopsy rate has collapsed to 8.5%, with natural-looking deaths autopsied just 4.3% of the time. Death certificates are wrong roughly a third of the time. The January 2026 Department of Homeland Security bulletin documented seventeen spousal poisoning cases since 2014 with at least eleven deaths — substances like cyanide, antifreeze, fentanyl, and common eye drops all chosen because they mimic natural illness. DHS specifically cited Richins' upcoming trial as part of this accelerating national pattern.This episode examines three convicted spousal poisoners — James Craig, Lana Clayton, and Stacey Castor — who each nearly escaped detection, and connects their cases to the Richins trial and the systemic failures that let poisoners walk free. The system didn't catch any of them. A person did every time.Richins is charged with aggravated murder in the 2022 fentanyl death of her husband Eric in Kamas, Utah. Prosecutors allege she spiked his cocktail with five times the lethal amount after a failed attempt on Valentine's Day two weeks earlier. The alleged motive: her realty company owed at least $1.8 million while Eric's estate was worth roughly $5 million.The defense says publicity has poisoned the jury pool beyond repair. Judge Richard Mrazik disagreed, denying their second venue change motion after prosecutors pointed to 830 potential jurors who hadn't heard of the case or hadn't followed it. What makes this case so well-known isn't media coverage — it's the allegations themselves. A children's book about grief. A six-page jailhouse letter allegedly laying out fabricated testimony. A drug source who now says under oath he never sold fentanyl at all.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Trial begins February 23rd.#KouriRichins #HiddenKillers #SpousalPoisoning #DHSWarning #AutopsyCrisis #JamesCraig #LanaClayton #StaceyCastor #EricRichins #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tokyo, 2020: After what should've been a typical reality TV dispute, a 22 year old cast member of the hit dating show Terrace House has just been discovered dead. Leading to the most recent season being scrubbed from the internet overnight. Her name was Hana Kimura.

With the approach of Ash Wednesday on February 18th, the Church once again does something both startling and merciful: she reminds us that we shall die.There is about this reminder a bracing honesty which our modern age sorely needs. We are encouraged, most days, to behave as though we were permanent fixtures in a very temporary world. We speak of plans and prospects, of improvements and entertainments, and seldom of endings. Yet on Ash Wednesday the priest marks our foreheads with ashes and speaks the plain truth: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” It is not cruelty. It is clarity. And clarity, in the hands of God, is always a form of kindness.Lent, then, is not a season for religious theatrics, but for reality. The Church calls us to consider the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—not because she delights in severity, but because she desires our joy.Death is the great appointment we all keep. It is not an interruption of the story, but its turning page. For the Christian, death is not the collapse of meaning but its unveiling. The One we have trusted in shadows we shall meet face to face. To remember death is not to become morbid; it is to become wise. Only when we grasp that our days are numbered do we begin to truly live.Judgment, too, has been misunderstood. We imagine a cold tribunal and forget that judgment is the setting right of what has gone wrong. Every time we cry out against injustice, every time we long for truth to prevail, we are secretly longing for judgment. And the Judge is not a stranger but the very Christ who bore our sins. To stand before Him will be to stand before Love itself; it's a love that burns away falsehood and heals what we have surrendered to Him.Heaven and Hell stand as the two great possibilities before every human soul. Heaven is not a sentimental cloud, but the solid, blazing reality for which we were made. It is the fulfillment of every pure desire, the answer to every homesick ache we have ever felt in this world. Hell, on the other hand, is not so much a torture devised by God as the final monument to human refusal, the tragic end of a will that persistently says, “I will have my own way.” In the end, we are given what we have chosen.Lent is the season in which we are invited to choose again.Through prayer, we learn to desire God above lesser things. Through fasting, we discover how tightly we cling to what cannot save us. Through repentance, we unlock doors we have long kept barred. The ashes on our foreheads are not a sign of despair but of hope, hope that even dust may be raised to glory. As February 18th draws near, we would do well not to rush past it. Let us receive the ashes. Let us ponder the Last Things. Let us allow eternity to cast its searching and saving light upon our present lives.For it is only in remembering that we shall die that we truly learn how to live. Only in facing judgment that we begin, at last, to desire Heaven. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

"Two years from now, all white-collar jobs may be gone." — Dario Amodei (via Keith Teare)Keith Teare leads this week's tech roundup with a video he made on Google's Veo: one glass half-full of water, another half-full of spiders. It's a metaphor for the AI moment. The water represents the tools released in the past two weeks—Anthropic's Claude 4.6, OpenAI's CodeX 5.3—which Keith calls "beyond belief." The spiders represent the fear, which he acknowledges is not irrational. But maybe spiders are the wrong metaphor. Maybe we're the frogs being slowly boiled, not noticing the temperature rise until it's too late.The trigger was Matt Schumer's viral essay "Something Big is Happening," which got 50 million views by telling engineers to become AI experts immediately or become irrelevant. Keith tested the thesis: he built venturebets.io, a prediction market, in a single day. He automated That Was The Week so completely that his weekly workflow dropped from six hours to under one. But then Dario Amodei and Satya Nadella both said the quiet part loud: in two years, there may be no white-collar jobs left. Keith's response? The glass doesn't contain jobs—it contains the future of life. And he'd rather have time to make videos of spiders crawling out of glasses than spend six hours curating links. The rest of us may not have the luxury of choosing. About the GuestKeith Teare is a serial entrepreneur and investor, founder of SignalRank, and author of the newsletter That Was The Week. He co-hosts the weekly tech roundup on Keen On America.ReferencesEssays discussed:● Matt Schumer's "Something Big is Happening" went viral with 50 million views, arguing that engineers must become AI experts immediately or face obsolescence.● Noah Smith published two essays: "The Fall of the Nerds" and "You Are No Longer the Smartest Type of Thing on Earth," arguing that humanity's destiny is now mostly out of our own hands.● Josh Tyrangiel wrote "America Isn't Ready for What AI Will Do to Jobs" in The Atlantic.● The Financial Times published "Anthropic's Breakout Moment" on the company's enterprise momentum.Tools and companies mentioned:● Claude 4.6 from Anthropic and CodeX 5.3 from OpenAI represent a "step change" in agentic AI—you give tasks, not prompts, and sub-agents complete them autonomously.● Google Veo is Google's video generation tool, which Keith used to create the glass-half-full-of-spiders metaphor.● Polymarket and Kalshi are prediction markets that Keith's new venturebets.io aims to match in quality.People mentioned:● Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, predicted that white-collar jobs may be gone in two years.● Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, echoed Amodei's prediction about the end of white-collar work.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States—hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

This week, in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, a five day teenager party results in a horrific murder that touches off a multi state spree of crime & violence that shakes the entire area, for years to come. The beef starts between the party's host, and a troubled guest, with a gun being pulled to "restore order". This leads to revenge, and a terrible scene of overkill & carnage, ending with 2 teens, on the run, with a gun & not much of a plan! Along the way, we find out that lousy sounding festivals tend to have lousy sounding bands, that letting a child do meth, while beating him to "toughen him up" just may cause some future problems, and that if you're a chiropractor, you should NEVER go on vaction!!

The PBD Podcast reflects on the passing of James Van Der Beek, honoring his legacy from Varsity Blues and Dawson's Creek while sharing a powerful message about faith, mortality, and self-worth. A heartfelt conversation about purpose, family, and finding meaning through life's toughest moments.
The boys kick off a new series examining the Foxcatcher murder and the dynasty behind it. The Du Pont family didn't just produce a killer... they helped design modern America.
