Welcome to Bri Books podcast! In this episode, we explore six captivating books from 2025 that span memoir, history, culture, and personal growth. From surviving illness abroad to uncovering hidden royal power plays, from the quiet history of our homes to the question of who we're meant to become, these books invite us to see the world, and ourselves, more clearly.

Books Discussed in This Episode Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career by Suzy Welch. A practical and reflective guide to discovering your true values and aligning them with your career and life choices. Welch offers tools and frameworks to help listeners clarify who they are, what they want, and how to build a life that fits. Mastesr of the Word: How Media Shaped History by William J. Bernstein. Bernstein traces the sweeping history of media, from the invention of writing in ancient Mesopotamia to the rise of the mobile internet. From the spread of alphabets and vernacular Bibles to the printing press, mass media, and digital networks, the book shows how shifts in information access have fueled empires, revolutions, democracy, and dissent. At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson. A fascinating room-by-room exploration of how everyday domestic life evolved. Bryson uses his own home as a jumping-off point to uncover surprising histories behind bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and the objects we take for granted. The World in a Wineglass: The Insider's Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now by Ray Isle. A global tour of wine told through people, place, and philosophy. Ray Isle highlights independent, sustainability-minded winemakers and shows how wine reflects culture, geography, and values — not just tasting notes. Stitching Freedom: A True Story of Injustice, Defiance, and Hope in Angola Prison by Gary Tyler. Gary Tyler — who was wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 42 years — tells a powerful story of survival, justice, and creative resistance. While imprisoned, Tyler turned to quilting as a means of expression, healing, and political testimony, transforming fabric into visual records of racism, resilience, and hope. The book explores how art can become a lifeline under extreme conditions and how storytelling, even when stitched rather than spoken, can reclaim dignity and freedom in the face of systemic injustice. Surviving Paris: A Memoir of Healing in the City of Light by Robin Allison Davis. A deeply personal memoir about moving to Paris in search of reinvention — and instead confronting breast cancer far from home. Allison Davis reflects on illness, identity, friendship, and resilience while navigating a foreign healthcare system and rebuilding her sense of self in the City of Light. The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit, and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty by Tracy Borman. Royal historian Tracy Borman challenges long-held assumptions about the English succession after Queen Elizabeth I's death. Using new archival evidence, she reveals a far more fragile and politically charged transfer of power than history has traditionally acknowledged.

Six years. 375 episodes. Nearly 2 million downloads in 2025 alone. This episode is a sweaty, unfiltered victory lap — celebrating what worked, what stretched us, what scared the hell out of us, and what clearly mattered most to you, the listener. Every year, we look at the numbers and let you decide. These aren't just popular episodes — they're a reflection of what women were wrestling with, questioning, building, and boldly reimagining in 2025. From spiritual health to entrepreneurship, belief, boundaries, death, defiance, and codependency — this list tells a story. If you're new here, welcome — any one of these episodes is a great place to start. If you've been here a while, this is your reminder to go back and re-listen. Trust me — they hit differently the second time.
In our final episode of 2025, we deconstruct the weight of heritage. Using Parveen Shakir's lens, we discuss the "Barzakh" (limbo) of culture and the exhaustion of being placed on a moral pedestal. If your life didn't "work out" the way tradition intended, was it the "Mausam" or was it your "Mitti"? Join us for a deep reflection on rebellion and self-acceptance.

There are so many rules to follow."Ko: 지수는 말없이 웃었다.En: Jisoo silently smiled.Ko: "우리는 공급 저장실을 이용할 거야. 미준, 넌 나를 도와 준비하자. 대양, 넌 바깥에서 지켜봐."En: "We'll use the supply storeroom. Mijun, you help me prepare. Daeyang, you keep watch outside."Ko: 야외 기온이 낮고 깜깜했지만, 세 사람의 얼굴에는 웃음이 가득했다.En: Even though the outdoor temperature was low and it was dark, their faces were full of smiles.Ko: 그들은 차근차근 계획을 세웠다.En: They slowly crafted a plan.Ko: 그리고 저녁 9시가 되었고, 그들은 모든 준비를 마쳤다.En: By 9 PM, they had completed all the preparations.Ko: 저장실은 작고 엉망이었지만, 사랑과 기대로 가득했다.En: The storeroom was small and messy, but it was filled with love and anticipation.Ko: "대양, 우리가 준비하는 동안 엿보는 대문 밖을 보고 있어," 미준이 손에 열쇠를 잡고 말했다.En: "Daeyang, keep an eye on the doorway while we set up," Mijun said, holding a key in his hand.Ko: 지수는 작은 라이트를 켰고,En: Jisoo turned on a small light.Ko: 그의 결정은 흔들리지 않았다.En: Her resolve was unwavering.Ko: 지수는 귤과 음료수를 준비해 두었다.En: She had prepared tangerines and drinks.Ko: 세 사람은 조그만 지하실에서 작은 희망을 만들어 냈다.En: The three of them created a small hope within the tiny basement.Ko: 카운트다운이 시작되고, 시계는 빠르게 11시 59분을 가리켰다.En: The countdown began, and the clock quickly pointed to 11:59.Ko: "10, 9, 8, 7..." 일행 셋은 입을 모았다.En: "10, 9, 8, 7..." the trio chanted in unison.Ko: 그런데, 문 소리가 나서 모두 고개를 돌렸다.En: Then, a sound came from the door, and they all turned their heads.Ko: 지휘관이었다.En: It was the commander.Ko: 방은 조용해졌다.En: The room fell silent.Ko: 누구 하나 숨도 쉬지 않았다.En: No one even dared to breathe.Ko: 하지만 지휘관의 얼굴에 미소가 번졌다.En: But a smile spread across the commander's face.Ko: "과거에 나도 이런 파티를 열곤 했어," 그는 회상하는 눈빛으로 말했다.En: "I used to hold parties like this in the past," he said with a reminiscing gaze.Ko: "계속해. 금지할 이유가 없어."En: "Continue. There's no reason to stop you."Ko: 지수와 그녀의 친구들은 안도의 한숨을 쉬었다.En: Jisoo and her friends breathed a sigh of relief.Ko: 모두 함께 잡은 손을 놓지 않았다.En: None of them let go of each other's hands.Ko: 규칙을 어긴 것은 불안했지만, 결과적으로 이들은 서로 더 가까워졌다.En: Although they were anxious about breaking the rules, in the end, they felt closer to one another.Ko: 감히 규칙의 경계를 넘어 본 보람이 있음을 느꼈다.En: They felt it was worth daring to cross the boundary of the rules.Ko: 새해는 새로운 희망을 안고 찾아왔다.En: The new year arrived, bearing new hopes.

Get the print version of the novel: https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvilFourteen doors have been opened. Fourteen horrors have been unleashed upon Marshport. And now, for the first time, the calendar has changed its pattern.Behind door fourteen, Matthew Klein found something he hadn't encountered before — a second door. Locked. Immovable. And behind it, the unmistakable drone of flies, buzzing in the darkness, waiting for whatever comes next.The calendar has never withheld before. Every door has delivered its grim prophecy on schedule, each trinket a harbinger of tragedy to follow. But now the entity seems to be holding something back, building toward something larger. The flies from door twelve. The maggots. The sound of buzzing once again behind the locked second door. These horrors have accumulated without resolution, stacking like kindling before a flame.Pastor Hart's words echo in Matthew's mind: You have a demon. Not a haunting. Not a curse. A demon — ancient, deliberate, and patient. The pastor promised to call a friend, a priest with experience in matters most clergy never face. Demonology. The word itself feels like an admission that ordinary faith may not be enough.Ten doors remain until Christmas Eve. Ten days until the anniversary of the fire that consumed Matthew's family and birthed this nightmare. The calendar was built from the ashes of that night — from the charred remains of the spirit board that released something unspeakable into the world. Wilbur Ward's hands may have shaped the wood, but the intelligence behind it is far older and far darker than any man.Lewis Chambers is dead. Ren Nguyen is dead. Bridgett Carr, Gwen Martin — the calendar's body count grows with each passing day, and Matthew remains powerless to stop it. Compliance brings death to innocents. Defiance brings suffering to his family. The demon has engineered a perfect trap, and every door Matthew opens tightens the noose.The hooded figure continues to appear at the edges of tragedy, glimpsed in security footage, spotted by witnesses, standing motionless in the road as Lewis's patrol car swerved to its doom. Is it Wilbur Ward, still serving the entity after thirty years? Or something else entirely — something that wears human shape the way the calendar wears the facade of holiday tradition?December 15th arrives cold and gray over Marshport. The locked door waits. The flies continue to buzz.And somewhere, a priest prepares to face what dwells within.#WeirdDarkness #ChristmasHorror #HolidayHorror #SupernaturalThriller #HauntedCalendar #DarkChristmas #HorrorStory #DemonicEvil #CreepyTales #YuletideTerror

The World of Eora: an Avowed & Pillars of Eternity Lore Podcast
The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week we conclude our look at the Knights of the Crucible, which we overviewed last week. First encountered in Pillars of Eternity, they are one of three main quest factions that you can engage with to gain clout within the city of Defiance Bay. They began as Blacksmiths trained in Combat, and were instrumental in the War of Defiance. A war which garnered the Dyrwood's independence from their mother nation, Aedyr. Now that we know their history, what are their ranks like? And how do you move up through them? That's the focus on today's episode.

The central theme of our discourse revolves around the profound concept of hope, particularly as articulated through the lens of the biblical narrative in Jeremiah 33. We reflect on the dichotomy of hope, elucidating that while a modicum of hope can be beneficial, an excess thereof may engender peril. In a world often engulfed in despair, we draw parallels to dystopian narratives, such as the Hunger Games, to underscore how those in power may seek to ration hope in a manner that maintains control rather than inciting transformation. Furthermore, we traverse the historical landscape of Judah's exile, wherein the remnants of faith appeared to be extinguished, yet we proclaim the enduring promise encapsulated in the prophetic declaration, “The days are surely coming.” This episode invites listeners to embrace a bold and tenacious hope, one that defies the prevailing cynicism and anticipates a future where divine righteousness prevails.The discourse delves into the concept of hope, elucidating its profound significance amidst despair, particularly within the context of historical and contemporary narratives. The speaker invokes the allegorical backdrop of 'The Hunger Games' to illustrate how hope can serve as a double-edged sword—while a modicum of hope can inspire compliance, an excess of it poses a threat to the established order. This notion invites listeners to ponder the delicate balance of hope as it exists in their own lives, paralleling the plight of the Israelites during their exile, when they grappled with feelings of abandonment and despair. The speaker, drawing on the prophetic voice of Jeremiah, proclaims the arrival of a transformative hope that transcends mere survival; this hope is depicted as a radical, divine promise that asserts God's unwavering commitment to His people, suggesting that genuine hope is rooted in the assurance of future redemption.Takeaways: Hope, while a powerful force, can be dangerous when it is abundant and unrestrained. The concept of rationed hope suggests that we must maintain balance to avoid chaos. Jeremiah's prophetic declaration signifies that a time of fulfillment and salvation is assured. In the midst of despair, the statement 'the days are surely coming' serves as a profound reminder of hope. God's covenant with humanity guarantees His faithfulness, regardless of our shortcomings and failures. The promise of Jesus' return embodies the ultimate hope, transcending present struggles and sorrows.

Most of us were taught to be agreeable. To be easy. To be helpful. But constantly saying “yes” can drain our energy and derail our careers. In this episode from the Hello Monday archives, Jessi Hempel sits down with Dr. Sunita Sah, author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes, to explore why saying “no” feels so hard and why reclaiming defiance is essential to our confidence, clarity, and integrity. In her conversation with Jessi, Dr. Sah breaks down how to recognize compliance, interrupt it, and rebuild a relationship with “no” that is grounded, principled, and guilt-free. Jessi and Dr. Sah discuss: Why saying “no” triggers discomfort What insinuation anxiety is, and how it quietly shapes workplace behavior Strategies to speak up even when the stakes feel high How to break patterns of over-compliance and reclaim autonomy How to make defiance a practice How to align your “no” with your values Continue the conversation with us at Hello Monday Office Hours!

What does it mean to be a warrior when the odds are not in your favor and even the world seems to have turned its back on you? Welcome to the world of the heroes in Northern European myth. The divine heroes Beowulf, Sigurd, and Starkadr and the Germanic warriors who venerated them, lived in a world of stark extremes, where courage, honor, and strength were tested at every turn. Their stories weren't just entertainment; they were guides for living boldly in a harsh and uncertain world.While we no longer live in these warrior cultures of the past, those of us attempting to walk this path in the modern world still face the same eternal questions:How do you live knowing that everything you love will one day die?How do you act with honor in a world no longer believes in it?How do you continue to fight when you feel as though the battle cannot be won?This is the world these warriors inhabited, and through their deeds, their trials, and their defiance, we find answers to the timeless questions of how to live, act, and fight with honor today.So, strap in and get ready for a wild ride through the world of the Germanic Hero.

Abby and Patrick are joined by therapist and sexuality educator Lucie Fielding. First, the three talk about Lucie's path to clinical work and the significance of her book, Trans Sex, just out in a revised Second Edition. They then turn to Freud's classic, Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905), putting that text, and the broader legacy of Freud's views on sexuality, in dialogue with contemporary questions of trans embodiment and sexual identity. This means reckoning with the ways that Freud's account of sexual development is alternately retrograde and radical, both of his time and far ahead of it. The three focus in particular on Freud's idea of “polymorphous perversity,” and the ambiguities of his distinction between “sexual object” and “sexual aim,” exploring how Freud's vision of human sexuality as radically contingent and plastic may offer possibilities for thinking constructively and more inclusively about pleasure and the diverse range of human sexual expression.Lucie's website is here: https://luciefielding.com/The new edition of Trans Sex is here: https://www.routledge.com/Trans-Sex-Nurturing-Trans-Erotic-Embodiment-and-Gender-Pleasure/Fielding/p/book/9781032737218Lucie's recommended reading includes:Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini, Gender Without IdentityJosé Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer FuturityTourmaline, Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P.

Bob Brown is nothing short of a trailblazer. A pioneering environmentalist, he became a defining force in Australia’s conservation movement and made history as the first openly gay leader of an Australian political party. Before entering politics, Bob trained as a doctor more than 50 years ago shaping his understanding of life and fragility. In his latest book, Defiance, he shares why he’s entering a new era of being at peace with death. In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Bob explains why he still refuses to give up on humanity and how people like Trump find themselves in such powerful positions.

Investigation of Senator Mark Kelly The Department of War is investigating Senator Mark Kelly for allegedly making a seditious video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders from President Donald Trump. The video featured Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers encouraging military and intelligence officials to uphold the Constitution and reject unlawful commands. Trump responded by calling the act sedition, demanding punishment. The Department of War reminded retirees they remain subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Possible outcomes: court martial proceedings, recall to active duty, or administrative measures. Kelly defended his actions, citing his military and NASA service record, and accused Trump of intimidation. Other Democrats publicly supported Kelly, with some using harsh language against the investigation. Dismissal of Indictment Against James Comey A Clinton-appointed judge dismissed the DOJ’s indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. Reason: The prosecutor presenting the case was unlawfully appointed, violating federal code and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The indictment accused Comey of making false statements and obstructing Congress. DOJ plans to appeal the ruling, arguing the dismissal was incorrect and justice will proceed. Commentary frames the judge as activist and warns against media narratives suggesting Comey is “off the hook.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

When six Democratic members of Congress released a video urging troops to “refuse illegal orders,” President Trump called it seditious behavior. But was the video itself appropriate—or reckless? Michael speaks with Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham (ret.), a former Air Force JAG and law professor, who says the lawmakers “did more harm than good.” Together, they unpack what the law actually says about disobeying orders, how politics risks turning the military into a pawn, and where the real danger to democracy lies.

PREVIEW Barry Strauss on Jews Versus Rome and the Siege of Jerusalem. Professor Barry Strauss discusses his new book, Jews Versus Rome, chronicling the rebellion of the Jews and their extreme defiance of Roman power in the first century. The core event is the siege of Jerusalem in 69 to 70 AD, when Titus, the son of Vespasian, was charged with defeating the city after his father departed to become emperor. Jerusalem was the religious center and a formidable fortress, impregnable on three sides, yet possessed a critical weakness: its northern wall. Despite the difficult siege ahead, the rebels believed they could withstand it, having laid up supplies, amassed considerable food stores, and secured access to a natural water source.

We are always asking ourselves, asking others, or others are asking us: what can I do to fight FOR democracy and fight AGAINST Trump's autocracy, dictatorship, and authoritarianism? Glenn sat down with Miles Taylor to discuss a new approach: DEFIANCE.org. Miles has set the standard for standing up to Trump's lawlessness, his threats, and his despicable and insatiable appetite for revenge. Miles decided to create DEFIANCE.org, described as follows: “WHAT CAN I DO?”"We built a club to answer that question. Each month, we give you options to fight back — peacefully, lawfully, and defiantly — against Trump's authoritarian takeover. You choose what missions to support. Then we take action together."DEFIANCE.org is described as: "A CLUB FOR COURAGEOUS AMERICANS"Link to website: https://www.defiance.org/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance. Nilo Tabrizy discusses how the Iranian women-led uprising, detailed in For the Sun After Long Nights, was triggered by the 2022 murder of Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) is the rallying cry. The regime's brutality is severe, suppressing protests through executions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) acts as an octopus, maintaining control across society. Defiance continues today, demonstrated by women actively ignoring state-mandated dress codes. 1898 TEHRAN

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 29224 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ESCALATION OF RHETORIC IN THE UKRAINE WAR,.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears. Anatol Lieven discusses how US President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed to meet in Budapest to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict following a productive call. The meeting, hosted in Viktor Orbán's Hungary, aims to reduce extreme tensions and avoid direct clashes between Russia and NATO. Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 915-930 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears.

Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 930-945 China's Tech Espionage and the Difficulty of Reverse Engineering Advanced Chip Tools. Chris Riegel discusses how TSMC and ASML technology face constant threats from Chinese industrial espionage. ASML's chipmaking tools are highly complex, making reverse engineering nearly impossible. Europe is waking up to the risks; recently, the Dutch government seized China-owned chipmaker Nexperia. China is estimated to be two to three years behind US high-end chip technology and requires access to advanced ASML tools to catch up. 945-1000 Hostage Situation and Political Realities in Gaza Ceasefire. Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela. President Trump authorized CIA operations, coupled with naval deployments and B-52 overflights, to pressure the Maduro regime. The goal is triggering a tipping point where Maduro's inner circle calculates that leaving is preferable to facing US action. Separately, Peru's President Boluarte was ousted due to corruption and the nation's struggle with extreme urban violence and illegal mining. 1015-1030 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Military Pressure Campaigns Maduro Amid Silence from Regional Allies. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how Venezuela's illegitimate leader, Maduro, faces escalating pressure from the US, including a Navy flotilla, B-52 flights, and authorized CIA operations. The goal is to compel Maduro and his generals, who profit from transnational crime, to flee. The silence from traditional allies like Russia and China suggests they lack political justification to defend Maduro's record. However, Mexico's president offered no comment regarding Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, reflecting leftist sympathies. 1215-1230 Tariffs Harm Consumers, Reduce Hiring, and Cause Customs Backlogs. Veronique De Rugy explains how tariffs are costing American consumers and businesses over 80% of the expense, leading to higher prices and reduced corporate margins. The tariff policy is harming the job market, causing 40% of CEOs to pause hiring and investments. Customs authorities are overwhelmed by the volume of small packages now requiring assessment, causing significant backlogs and lost goods for consumers. Special interests are expanding the tariff application to derivative products, such as peanut butter packaged in metal containers. 1230-1245 Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1245-100 AM Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station.
