— In this episode of Sykes & Lewis LIVE, we dive deep into the chaos of Trump's second term amid the escalating Iran war.— From symbolic coin changes to authoritarian threats and a messy foreign policy quagmire — here's what we cover:— The New “Trump Dime” Drama — The redesigned dime reportedly drops the olive branch (peace) and keeps only arrows (war). Is this a deliberate message during the Iran conflict, or just on-the-nose symbolism?— Iran War Escalation & Strait of Hormuz Crisis — Trump bombs Iran, claims quick wins, but now begs allies (NATO, China, Japan, UK) for warships to reopen the strait after Iran shuts it down. He's like a toddler who makes a mess and then expects everyone else to pick up the pieces.— War on Dissent & Media Treason Threats — Overnight, Trump sent out a. long “Truth” attacking judges, the Fed, and calling negative war coverage “treason” (death penalty implied). We call it out—words have consequences.— White House Makeover Madness — Trump allies push to replace the historic ionic columns with flashy Corinthian ones (think Mar-a-Lago or Supreme Court style). Is he legacy-building or just pissing on icons? Charlie and I discuss the aesthetic obsession and why it's sparking outrage among architects.— Economic Fallout & Political Blowback — Skyrocketing oil, $4+ gas, stalled growth, affordability crisis. Midterms looming — could the growing blue-wave flip the Senate?— Defiance & Hope — We end on resilience: Keep speaking out, support courageous voices (shoutout to Jimmy Kimmel & Stephen Colbert), use the ballot box, and remember — courage is contagious.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

In this episode of A Fresh Story: Simple Tips to Support Yourself, host Olivia Howell sits down with Meredith Beardmore — therapist, author, and YouTuber — whose entire practice is dedicated to helping women navigate the painful and often overlooked experience of loving someone with an addiction. With both professional expertise and personal lived experience, Meredith brings rare authority to a topic that affects millions of people silently. Whether you are currently in a relationship with someone struggling with alcoholism or narcotic addiction, or navigating life after leaving one, this episode delivers the kind of addiction recovery support and emotional resilience tools you need to begin putting yourself first.Meredith's core message is clear: the pain of loving an addict is valid, and self-care is not selfish — it is survival. She walks listeners through her top practical strategies, beginning with the critical importance of establishing personal boundaries and recognizing that your loved one's needs cannot continue to override your own. She strongly recommends Al-Anon and Nar-Anon — free, widely available support groups focused not on the addict, but on the loved ones — as essential tools for emotional resilience and starting over after an addictive relationship. Meredith also addresses the often-neglected foundation of physical wellbeing: sleep hygiene, nutrition, and regular self-care practices that protect your nervous system from the chronic stress that loving an addict produces. For those seeking therapy, she advises specifically asking for a clinician experienced with loved ones of addicts or, where unavailable, a therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery — noting the significant overlap in patterns and tactics.Meredith is also the author of two powerful resources: Hey Addiction, Thanks for Nothing — a brutally honest self-help workbook for those currently loving an addict — and The Plan B Chronicles: Divorce, Defiance, Liberation, a memoir chronicling her own journey through divorce recovery and the path to finding herself on the other side. Her message to anyone listening who feels trapped, ashamed, or alone? Let go of the guilt. You cannot save someone from addiction. You can, however, save yourself — and there is an entire community ready to support you in doing exactly that.

Inside, they explore: → Why "disrespect" is usually dysregulation—and how to respond when your teen talks back, rolls their eyes, or uses a tone you don't appreciate → The authority reframe: your job isn't to be right or have power—it's to carry the responsibility of de-escalating, listening, and modeling regulation (even when your teen is losing it) → Why connection is the foundation for good behavior, not the reward for it—and why taking away quality time when teens struggle backfires completely → How boundaries actually work with strong-willed teens: you can't control what they do, but you CAN control what you do—and that's where your real power lives → Why letting them make mistakes (even when you're terrified) builds trust and safety—because the tighter you hold on, the less you're actually able to protect them from poor choices, risky behavior, or shutting you out completely This episode will challenge every assumption you have about what it means to parent difficult teenagers—and give you the tools to build the kind of relationship where they actually come to you when things get hard.

I think you'll agree with me that this is one of the smartest people I've ever had on the podcast.Episode Description:Martin Shkreli became one of the most controversial figures in business history—labeled “the most hated man in America,” prosecuted, imprisoned, and publicly vilified.In this conversation, he tells his side of the story.Part 1 focuses on how media narratives form, why conviction and risk-taking matter in entrepreneurship, and the deeper mechanics behind the pharmaceutical controversy that made him famous. He explains the economics of drug pricing, insurance systems, neglected medications, and why public perception diverged so dramatically from what patients actually experienced.The episode also explores learning across disciplines, intellectual courage, prosecutors' incentives, and how public scandals evolve into legal consequences.Whether you agree with him or not, the discussion raises uncomfortable questions about business, regulation, media, and reputation.What You'll Learn:Why media narratives can shape public opinion more than factsThe real economics behind pharmaceutical pricing and insurance coverageHow entrepreneurs learn complex industries without formal trainingWhy conviction and risk tolerance are essential in investing and businessHow incentives within legal and political systems influence outcomesTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Most Hated Man in America” — Media Narratives & Reputation[00:03:11] A Note from James[00:03:45] Humor vs. Backlash: Handling Public Criticism[00:06:39] Conviction, Investing & Standing Your Ground[00:09:00] Optimism, Forgiveness & Business Relationships[00:12:08] The Pharma Controversy Begins[00:14:52] From Hedge Funds to Biotech CEO[00:17:40] Learning New Industries from Scratch[00:19:00] Staying Curious & Avoiding Fear of Complexity[00:21:00] Borrowing Knowledge Across Domains[00:23:06] How People Actually Learn Complex Skills[00:29:00] Entrepreneurship, Ego & Motivation[00:31:20] The Daraprim Pricing Decision Explained[00:34:00] Neglected Drugs & Pharma Economics[00:37:00] Profit Motive vs. Public Good[00:41:13] Why He Became the Target[00:45:00] Prosecutors, Incentives & Legal Strategy[00:47:00] Hedge Funds, Technical Violations & Trials[00:50:00] High-Profile Cases & Selective Enforcement[00:53:00] Media Attention & Personal DecisionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The teenage years can feel like losing your child in slow motion. The pushback, withdrawal, and irritability make it's easy to assume they need less from us. But what if adolescence is actually the time they need us most? I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in this episode of the Parenting Well Podcast, I sit down with Kimberly Bryant to explore how the way we “meet” our teenagers during this massive brain restructuring phase shapes not only our current relationship, but the relationships we may one day have with our grandchildren. We talk about the powerful shift from manager to mentor, how curiosity calms the nervous system, and why asking “What happened?” instead of “What's wrong with you?” can change everything. Kimberly reminds us that teens don't need perfection. They need emotional safety. Because how we meet them… is what shapes them. Main Discussion Points Why adolescence is neurologically similar to toddlerhood — and what that means for parenting The critical shift from “manager” to “coach” during the teen years How irritability, defiance, and withdrawal are often stress signals — not character flaws Why curiosity lowers defenses and judgment raises them What it actually means to “meet your teen safely”The importance of regulating yourself before engaging with your teen Balancing boundaries with autonomy — containment without control Why teens still need structure around sleep, technology, and safety The role of trusted adults beyond parents How today's interactions ripple into adult relationships — and even future generations Key Takeaways Adolescence is not a time to step back. It's a time to lean in differently. Teens need mentorship, not management. Defiance is often stress in disguise. When we respond to behavior with curiosity instead of correction, we lower threat and increase connection. “What happened?” builds trust. “What's wrong with you?” builds walls. You are their external brain right now. Your calm presence helps them learn to regulate their own emotions. Connection over correction creates long-term influence. Boundaries still matter — but partnership matters more. How you meet your teen today shapes your relationship decades from now.

As the United States continues to experience democratic backsliding, people are looking for ways to rise to the moment. But what does it take for someone to stay true to their values and say, “no, I refuse to participate in this?” Organizational psychologist Sunita Sah joins host Alex Lovit to discuss why people have more trouble standing up to injustice than they think they will and how we can prepare ourselves to make difficult choices. Sunita Sah is professor of management and organizations at Cornell University's SC Johnson Graduate School of Management and the author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes. https://www.sunitasah.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode of The Africanist Podcast features a rich and thought‑provoking conversation with Dr. Mark Deets of the American University in Cairo, whose award‑winning monograph A Country of Defiance (Ohio University Press 2023) has reshaped scholarly understanding of the Casamance conflict in Senegal. In this episode, Dr. Deets walks listeners through the spatial and historical dynamics that have shaped the region's long‑running struggle, offering a perspective that moves beyond conventional political narratives. His approach highlights how geography, memory, and local identity intersect to produce a conflict that is both deeply rooted and continually evolving. The discussion brings clarity to a topic that is often misunderstood, making it accessible without sacrificing analytical depth. The book is both grounded and expansive, weaving together archival insights, fieldwork experiences, and theoretical reflections. Music: Jammu Africa by Ismaila Lo; Jaàm by Julien Juga ft.

Content warning: this episode contains discussions of sexual abuse.In 2024, Gisèle Pelicot waived her right to anonymity as the victim during her own rape case in France, demanding a public trial. Soon after, she became an international feminist icon for her self-sacrifice. In A Hymn to Life, Pelicot recounts the unconscionable horrors she suffered at the hands of her husband and 50 other men—but she also establishes herself as a witness rather than simply a victim. In today's episode, Pelicot joins NPR's Michel Martin to discuss her new memoir, and her complex relationship with the hope that remains.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
If it feels like every conversation with your teen turns into a debate… you're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Cam flips the script on what “talking back” really means.

Joe Pags kicks off the hour with the sad news of Robert Duvall's passing before diving into the latest Minnesota bombshell — state investigators are being blocked from accessing FBI evidence on the Alex Pretti shooting, a fatal encounter in Minneapolis that has ignited national controversy over federal cooperation and transparency. Then Gov. Greg Abbott joins Pags for an electrifying interview: he unloads on local Democrats who oppose ICE facilities, explains why the Minnesota upheaval looks nothing like Texas law enforcement cooperation, and lays out how states can step up in crises like the Guthrie case. Abbott also breaks down voter ID, why school choice matters in Texas, and delivers a blistering take on teachers unions backing ICE walkouts — classic Abbott, nobody holds back. It's packed, pointed, and absolutely unfiltered — the kind of conversation only this show delivers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What do you get when a writer builds a dystopian world that feels uncomfortably close to the one we already live in? A trilogy worth paying attention to. Alex sits down with Lynette M. Burrows author of the Fellowship Dystopia series, for a conversation that covers a lot of ground; from the moral weight of violence in fiction to the long, sometimes painful arc of developing a protagonist worth following across multiple books.Lynette talks about Miranda, the heart of her series, and how that character evolved in ways that surprised even her creator. They get into what it means to write about agency and justice when the world you're depicting keeps rhyming with current events — and why that's not always intentional, and not always comfortable.The conversation also touches on Robert McKee's storytelling techniques and their influence on storytelling craft, the way real grief finds its way onto the page whether you invite it or not, and why the physical design of a book still matters in an era when everyone claims print is dying. Good dystopia holds a mirror up. This conversation is about what happens when the reflection stares back.ConnectListen to Lynette's first appearance on the show here.Listen to her second appearance here.Visit her website here.Buy the books here!Celebrating 10 Years and hundreds of episodes!

As the full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year, resistance to Russian occupation has undergone a radical transformation. The public displays of defiance that defined the war's early days — with civilians blocking tanks and holding street protests — have long been crushed by the Kremlin's ruthless occupation regime. By blending systematic brutality, bureaucracy, and pervasive surveillance, Russia has sought to extinguish dissent and erase Ukrainian identity in occupied regions. But this has only forced the resistance deeper underground. In this episode of The Naked Pravda, deputy editor Eilish Hart sits down with Dr. Jade McGlynn, the head of the Ukraine and Russia program at the Center for Statecraft and National Security at King's College London, to discuss this shift. Drawing on her extensive field research and recent report for the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Dr. McGlynn analyzes how resistance efforts have adapted to survive life behind the front lines.
