Podcasts about Diary

Today we're reading possibly the oldest text in - wait for it, it's a mouthful - Textory's history! The Sarashina Diary (AD 1009-1059) was written by a Japanese lady who spent much of her life at royal court.

My friend Hannah Larson (age 30, lives in New York, RM, founder of Humans of BYU, former seminary teacher, single) joins us to share her story. Hannah talks about: Powerful testimony of God's love for all of us—and deep desire for everyone to feel that . Author of Diary of a Mormon Girl Teaching seminary—but being let go after one year. Super traumatizing experience. Put her whole soul into that assignment to help her students feel God's love and being a safe place. Experienced pain of patriarchy, went into deep depression, how/why she didn't leave the church Proactively met with prior Priesthood Leaders who harder her—mixed experiences—super brave—discussion of gaslighting How she is now on the margins as an unmarried 30-year-old How her value isn't about “who she might be dating”—but her relationship with Jesus Christ Creating a safe community online & IRL for people in the church who want to discuss the complicated issues (see show notes) Why so many Gen Z women are leaving the church—and the need for honest conversations Her upcoming new book about finding God in her romantic relationships and dating experiences . Hannah is one of our bravely guests as she talks about the patriarchy/sexism/gaslighting that is part of our culture and how she is navigating those issues. Hannah talks about making it “all about Jesus” and how important that framework is to moving forward. Please check out Hannah's social media (see show notes) to connect with her needed work in our community. Thank you, Hannah, for being on the podcast. You give me hope. You are awesome!

Can a list of petty grievances actually get you out of bed in the morning?JB opens a battered perpetual disappointments diary, the opposite of a feel-good journal, and admits he is fueled by resentment. Cincinnati, one-ply toilet paper, yogurt, and food-service let-downs all make the list. Tricia calls it a hold-my-beer attitude and a long game.Rapid Fire puts JB on the hot seat: an eighteen-wheeler full of gummy bears, decades of vintage furniture as a prized possession, and ninja over pirate. Care/Don't Care covers a hiker's dinosaur track in Austin, city frogs changing their mating calls so the ladies can hear them, and Dick Van Dyke still going at one hundred. Story We Love: old-school tire slashing in southeast Austin. Steve comes close on Minute to Win It for Tim McGraw tickets at Moody Center.Subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share this with someone who keeps their own list of petty disappointments.

What media are you currently using to your advantage? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Justine McKell from McKell Media about how to connect with the media. Pitching to the media really needs your voice. Everyone has a story. No one loves perfection, they love to connect with the mess and the story. But don't buy the story, use it to your advantage.  The key is making sure you stand out and being so unapologetically you. People are looking for something different; be the difference!   Questions And Tools: "I'm aware of it. Now what else can I create and generate?" "What would it take to be with people who are kind and nurturing and don't judge me or my body?" Tools: People love to connect with the mess and the story. How many stories do you have that would make you accessible to the rest of the world to increase whatever it is you are currently working on that you would like to get out into the world? Spend an hour diving deep into your background, your story. Why are you doing what you are doing? What are the moments you overcame something? What happened in your life to make you choose what you do now? What is it you would actually like? But don't buy the story, use it to your advantage. Books don't necessarily earn money but they give you credibility. What if you pitch something different? Spark that curiosity. Use the access consciousness tools. Do your research so that you're pitching relevant media. There's nothing that beats the engagement between two human beings. Be willing to listen to others and receive, even though you might not agree with everyone. Stop duplicating what everybody else is doing; that's just boring. AI is not good for social media posts or pitching - it really needs your voice. The key is making sure you stand out and being so unapologetically you. Saying the name of the person interviewing you makes them become very present with you. People don't want to see perfection, they want to see you. If you fall and stumble sometimes, that's okay. Practise the art of asking questions that follow the energy. Podcasts give the listeners a chance to get to know you, which is much more valuable than when someone scrolls through a 10 second post on Instagram. A podcast is candid conversation, so you get more of that engagement and more honesty. A podcast doesn't end; you can pull content from it for months. Many things can happen off the backend of a podcast. Being interviewed on someone else's podcast springboards you by connecting with their audience. It's a way to grow your list faster. It also lets you practise speaking. Follow the energy and speak to what's there. You need to be cited in AI searches. The more media you get and the more podcasts you are on elevates you in AI searches. Don't use AI for how to run your life. You choose. The latest trend is people looking for longer content with more depth to it. What if you started to engage in a different way? find out something about people that you don't already know Everything you think is a problem is only a situation that you can look at, ask questions and choose something different. What if it's all good copy and you can use it all to your advantage? What if you allowed yourself to pivot and change the trajectory of your life when you know there is something different available? What contribution can we be to each other with the choice to actually live? Choose what works for you. There are different ways you can be in the world that creates a different invitation than what this reality is telling you you should do. Pick up the telephone and have a conversation. Attend in person events - the value of a relationship can't be forgotten.

“PAWS, CLAWS & CLOSEUPS:  HOLLYWOOD'S FAMOUS ANIMAL STARS” - 8/31/2026 (155/14) From RIN TIN TIN to LASSIE to TRIGGER, to TONTO, from the 1974 film "Harry and Tonto," who can resist those cute, furry little nuggets who can straight-out steal a scene right out from under the most trained Shakespearean thespian with the wag of a tail, the flop of an ear, or the purr of a cry?

What does it really mean to become a living kidney donor — and what would inspire someone to donate a kidney to a complete stranger?   In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore speaks with Hayley about her remarkable living kidney donation journey, which began with a dream she first had at just eight years old.   Years later, Hayley turned that childhood ambition into reality, becoming an altruistic living kidney donor and giving a stranger the gift of a kidney transplant.   Hayley takes us through the living kidney donor process from beginning to end: finding a potential recipient, undergoing donor assessment and matching, initially being turned down by one transplant centre, navigating the medical evaluation process, preparing for surgery and recovering after donating a kidney.   Remarkably, Hayley's journey from contacting the organisation that helped facilitate her donation to undergoing surgery took approximately eight weeks.   In this conversation, Dee and Hayley discuss:   • Why Hayley wanted to become a kidney donor from the age of eight • What motivated her to donate a kidney to someone she had never met • Direct kidney donation and paired kidney exchange • Being initially rejected as a potential donor and why she continued • The medical assessment and kidney donor matching process • Meeting her kidney recipient before transplant surgery • What living kidney donor surgery and recovery were like for her • Walking six miles just three days after donating her kidney • Returning to exercise, weightlifting and martial arts after donation • What life with one kidney looks like for Hayley today • The emotional impact and personal meaning of living kidney donation • The importance of support before and after donor surgery • Why more people need to know that living kidney donation is possible • How Hayley turned her experience into work supporting other potential kidney donors • Her advice for anyone considering becoming a living kidney donor • Her message of hope for people waiting for a kidney transplant   Hayley also addresses a question many people may wonder about living organ donation: what does the donor get from giving a kidney?   For Hayley, the answer goes far beyond the physical act of donation. She describes the profound impact of knowing that her decision helped another person, their family and potentially even the next person waiting for a kidney transplant.   Today, Hayley continues to raise awareness of living kidney donation and supports others considering taking the same journey.   Whether you are living with kidney disease, waiting for a kidney transplant, considering living kidney donation, supporting someone through transplantation, or simply want to understand why someone would choose to donate a kidney to a stranger, this conversation offers an insightful first-hand perspective.

‘The Meeting on the Turret Stairs' by Wicklow-born Frederic William Burton, which is on display in the National Gallery in Dublin, has gone viral, but why?Joining Seán to discuss this is Frank McNally, Journalist with the Irish Times and Chief Writer of An Irishman's Diary.Image: National Gallery of Ireland

Every productivity guru will tell you the same thing: set realistic goals, or you're setting yourself up to fail. Jia Jiang did the opposite. He told the internet he'd sell 10,000 copies of his new book in 100 days, sold about 3,000, and is now going around calling it one of the best things he's ever done. He's not being delusional about it either. He'll tell you straight up that part of him wishes he'd hit the number. He just thinks failing loudly beats succeeding quietly, which might explain why only 9% of people who make a New Year's resolution actually stick to it. Most of us are setting goals to feel good for five minutes, not because we've figured out how to actually get there. In this episode, I sit down with Jia Jiang, the entrepreneur and speaker behind 100 Days of Rejection, a YouTube experiment that became a TED Talk with more than 10 million views. We talk about his new book, Easy Discipline, and how he turns huge, terrifying goals into something he can actually control day to day. If you have ever downgraded a goal so you wouldn't have to feel bad about missing it, Jia is about to make you rethink that entirely. Jia and I discuss: Why Jia deliberately sets goals so ambitious he is likely to miss them, and why a public near miss beats a comfortable target The one action goal: how to turn a big, uncontrollable ambition into a daily input you can fully control The inspiration index, the two numbers Jia tracks on every project, and why you need both the outcome and the input The Mover's Manual, and how changing his physical environment lets Jia get three to ten times more done in an afternoon Reverse AI: what happened when Jia started deliberately training himself the way AI models are trained The letter he wrote to Steven Bartlett after being turned down for Diary of a CEO, and why he published it anyway Key quotes "I'd rather fail my ambition publicly than letting it die inside privately." "When you are already rejected, you have nothing to lose. When you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear."

Walking is something most of us do every day without thinking, but the way you move may reveal far more about your health than you realize. In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Courtney Conley, DC, Founder and CEO of Gait Happens, who explains how walking speed, sensory input, foot strength, mobility, and the big toe can affect balance, efficiency, pain, and healthy aging. Courtney also shares practical ways to improve walking, including gradually spending more time barefoot, choosing footwear that respects the foot's natural anatomy, strengthening the feet, and using simple cues to walk taller, faster, and softer. Key Takeaways:→ Walking speed is considered an important health indicator and may provide clues about future physical and neurological decline. → Brisk, intentional walking can be more efficient than the slow, guarded gait people often adopt when in pain.→ Walking taller, faster, and more softly can help reduce overstriding and promote a smoother gait. → Healthy walking depends on foot strength, mobility, balance, and the feet's ability to interact naturally with the ground. → Difficulty walking barefoot may reflect a deconditioned foot rather than proof that the foot permanently needs external support.  Dr. Courtney Conley is a nationally bestselling author, an international educator, and a leading authority on foot and gait health. She is the founder of Gait Happens, a global education company that helps people restore foot function through science-backed training, professional education, and personalized care.  With nearly 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Conley has worked with professional athletes from organizations such as the Phoenix Suns, New York Yankees, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers. She also serves as Head of Patient Care at Total Health Solutions and Total Health Performance in Lakewood, Colorado.   Her book, Walk, became a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. Dr. Conley has appeared on The Peter Attia Drive, Diary of a CEO, CBS Mornings, and Fox & Friends, where she shares her belief that strength, mobility, and long-term health begin from the ground up.   Connect With Courtney: Website: https://gaithappens.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gaithappens/ https://www.instagram.com/drcourtneyconley/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gaithappens/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcourtneyconley/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/gait-happens/   Connect with Steven: Xero Shoes: https://xeroshoes.com/ Join the MOVEMENT Movement: https://jointhemovementmovement.com/ X: https://x.com/XeroShoes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xeroshoes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/xeroshoes

What happens when fear becomes policy—and the people labeled “the worst of the worst” are no longer treated as people? In this episode of the Truth Be Told Podcast, host Dave Thompson, CFI explores the powerful story behind the documentary Leaving Hotel California and the complicated legacy of Guantanamo Bay, post-9/11 interrogations, enhanced interrogation techniques, torture, and the human consequences of abandoning evidence-based investigative practices. Dave is joined by filmmakers Chimène de Jonge and Aybüke Demirel, former NCIS Special Agent Mark Fallon, and former Guantanamo detainee and Guantánamo Diary author Mohamedou Ould Slahi for a conversation about investigative interviewing, coercion, false information, cognitive bias, morality, forgiveness, and what happens when fear begins influencing the investigative process. Inside Leaving Hotel California Support the Documentary Here. The documentary Leaving Hotel California examines Guantanamo Bay through the experiences of the people who lived this history from dramatically different perspectives. Chimène and Aybüke explain how a journalism project driven by their interest in human rights evolved into a documentary focused not simply on what happened at Guantanamo, but on the people behind the history. Their reporting led them to former government officials, investigators, intelligence professionals, attorneys, and detainees as they attempted to understand what actually happened—and why. Mark Fallon: Fighting Torture From Inside the System Mark Fallon offers a rare perspective from inside the U.S. government's response to September 11. As a senior NCIS investigator involved in terrorism investigations after 9/11, Fallon describes watching interrogation practices evolve from legitimate investigative efforts toward coercive techniques and prisoner abuse. He discusses his attempts to challenge those practices, document what was happening, and warn government leadership about how history would ultimately judge the decisions being made. The conversation also examines SERE — Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape — training and the controversial decision to adapt techniques designed to help U.S. personnel resist abusive treatment for use in interrogations. Fallon explains the fundamental contradiction: techniques associated with increasing resistance and producing unreliable or false information were being adapted as methods for obtaining intelligence. For investigators, law enforcement professionals, HR investigators, intelligence professionals, and anyone interested in science-based investigative interviewing, the lesson extends well beyond Guantanamo: Pressure can produce compliance. That doesn't mean it produces reliable information. Mohamedou Ould Slahi: The Human Being Behind the Label Mohamedou brings the conversation from interrogation theory to lived experience. He describes his detention, interrogation, sleep deprivation, abuse, and the psychological impact of being treated not as an individual, but as part of a category of people presumed to be dangerous. But Mohamedou also challenges one of the most common debates surrounding enhanced interrogation: Why is the question whether torture works? What if the more important question is whether torture is morally acceptable in the first place? That distinction creates one of the most powerful moments of the episode and forces a broader conversation about ethics, investigative integrity, human rights, and what limits should exist even when investigators believe the stakes could not be higher. Investigative Bias, False Information & the Danger of Certainty The episode also explores how the fear and uncertainty following September 11 created conditions where confirmation bias, categorization, assumptions, and investigative tunnel vision could influence decision-making. Fallon describes investigators being tasked not only with identifying people responsible for terrorism, but also with investigating evidence that could exonerate detainees who should not have been at Guantanamo in the first place. It's a lesson that remains relevant to investigators today. When investigators become committed to a conclusion before fully developing the information, the interview can shift from an effort to discover what happened into an effort to confirm what we already believe happened. An Unexpected Friendship Perhaps the most powerful part of Leaving Hotel California isn't about interrogation at all. It's about the friendship that developed between Mark Fallon and Mohamedou Ould Slahi. Their relationship began through books, virtual conversations, and shared discussions about Guantanamo before the filmmakers ultimately captured their first meeting in person. Fallon describes what drew him to Mohamedou simply: his humanity. At the airport, Mohamedou greeted Mark with a sign inspired by the phrase displayed at Guantanamo, “Honor Bound to Defend Freedom.” Mohamedou's version carried a different message: “Bound to remain human.” That idea becomes the thread running through the entire conversation. Behind every investigation, accusation, intelligence report, interrogation, and headline is a human being. And regardless of what someone is suspected of doing, investigators still have an obligation to remain objective, ethical, curious—and human. In This Episode Dave, Mark, Mohamedou, Chimène, and Aybüke discuss: The story behind the documentary Leaving Hotel California Guantanamo Bay and the U.S. response following September 11 Mark Fallon's role investigating terrorism after 9/11 Mohamedou Ould Slahi's experience at Guantanamo Bay Enhanced interrogation techniques and torture SERE training and its adaptation for interrogation Coercion, compliance, and false or unreliable information False confessions and the psychology of interrogation Confirmation bias and investigative tunnel vision Science-based and evidence-based investigative interviewing Ethics and morality in interrogation Human rights and the rule of law The importance of documenting and challenging investigative decisions Journalism and documentary filmmaking as forms of investigation Forgiveness, empathy, moral courage and humanity The friendship between Mark Fallon and Mohamedou Ould Slahi     Ultimately, this episode asks a question that extends far beyond Guantanamo Bay: When the pressure is highest and we're most certain we're right, can we still remain curious enough to challenge our assumptions—and principled enough to remain human?

In this live episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, recorded at Sandy Beach in Swansea, Massachusetts, host Kathleen Masciana presents a philosophical reflection on Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul. She examines Greg Heffley's cross-country family trip to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Meemaw, Greg's great-grandmother, and considers the film's themes of family expectations, reputation, personal responsibility, independence, and technology. Before the journey begins, Susan Heffley collects the family's phones and devices because she wants everyone to communicate directly, spend meaningful time together, and experience a technology-free trip. Greg has a different objective. After an embarrassing online video damages his reputation, he learns that Mac Digby, a gaming personality he admires, will appear at Player Expo, a video-game convention. Greg attempts to redirect the family's trip toward the event because he believes that meeting Mac Digby may improve how others view him. His plan contributes to several humorous complications, including confusion at a hotel, encounters with aggressive seagulls, a runaway pig, and conflict with the family known as the Beardos. Kathleen explains that these situations made her laugh because every effort to solve one problem creates another. She also considers the deeper questions beneath the comedy, including how people respond to uncertainty, how public opinion influences identity, and how difficult it can be to control the consequences of personal decisions. As a blind online graduate student pursuing a Master's in Philosophy at Holy Apostles College and Seminary, she views Susan Heffley's technology rule from the perspective of accessibility and independent participation. A braille computer supports her reading, research, coursework, and written communication. Her phone provides access to the learning-management system and academic responsibilities. An analog recording device without internet access supports reading coursework aloud. These tools do not replace effort, preparation, or critical thinking; they help make participation possible. Kathleen explains that a rule that appears equal may affect people differently when it removes technology that a blind student or another disabled person may need for access to education, communication, and information. The film does not substantially address the experiences of disabled people or the ways accessible technology may support blind people and others with disabilities. She does not claim that the filmmakers intended to exclude anyone, recognizing that the movie is a lighthearted family comedy. Instead, she uses the film as an opportunity to encourage awareness of accessibility and the importance of considering different human needs. Kathleen connects the movie to Plato's Apology, in which Socrates defends a life devoted to questioning assumptions, examining beliefs, and seeking truth rather than accepting public opinion without reflection. Through Blind Techie Geek Speaks, she uses her voice to promote awareness of disability, accessibility, education, independence, technology, and meaningful participation. This episode offers a thoughtful examination of how technology can be both a source of distraction and an essential means of access, while encouraging listeners to consider the experiences of people whose lives and education depend on accessible tools.

Nearly six years after I released an episode called Death of the Diary, It's the dawn of a new era for Canadian radio with the release of Radio Local + by Numeris.Derrick Gray, Chief Research and Operations Officer at Numeris, joins me to explain Radio Local+—the hybrid ratings system replacing the online radio diary in 22 Canadian markets. The system combines streaming information with online and telephone surveys to estimate total listening, including traditional over-the-air radio.Derrick explains how Numeris turns device-level streaming activity into demographic audience estimates, filters bots and abnormally long sessions, and determines whether a listener belongs to the local market. We also discuss why testing revealed significantly more audience reach than expected—and what Numeris had to fix before launch.Radio Local + will deliver four ratings releases annually using a 13-week rolling average, replacing the diary's two annual releases and 48-week average. That should give programmers and advertisers a more current view of changing listener behaviour.The Three Best Things We Talked About: How Radio Local+ combines streaming data with audience surveys to measure total radio listeningWhy the new system found more listeners than the diary—and what Numeris learned during testingHow quarterly ratings and future impression-based metrics could change radio programming and advertisingRadio Local + is not the finished destination. It is the first stage of a larger Numeris audio strategy that could eventually include additional markets, national radio reach and audience metrics that are easier to compare with podcasts and other digital media.NEW!

What does it mean to keep going when life takes an unexpected and painful turn? We reflect on Hebrews 11:1 and the importance of cultivating faith, hope, and confidence in God—even when we cannot see what lies ahead. Through the story of Otto Frank and the legacy he carried forward after unimaginable loss, we are reminded that pain does not have to be the end of our story. While we may face seasons of doubt, grief, uncertainty, or struggle, faith invites us to continue trusting God when the path ahead is unclear. The Bible reminds us that faith is more than simply believing when life is easy. It is confidence in God when we cannot yet see the outcome. Through prayer, Scripture, and an active relationship with Him, we can strengthen our trust and keep moving forward—one faithful step at a time. Highlights Discover what Hebrews 11:1 teaches about faith, hope, and trusting God. Learn how faith can help us keep going through difficult and uncertain seasons. Reflect on the difference between seeing the outcome and trusting God without seeing it. Find encouragement for moments when doubt and unbelief begin to take hold.

Full Transcript Below: Cultivating the Faith to Keep GoingBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Otto Frank, the sole survivor of the eight Jews in hiding within the Secret Annex, would have felt intense loss upon his return to Amsterdam after the Allies' defeat of Nazi Germany. He was already notified by previous prisoners about the death of his wife, Edith. She had died in Auschwitz due to starvation. However, he had hope that his two daughters, Margot and Anne, were still alive. This was the hope that ultimately kept him alive. Through the Red Cross, sisters Janny and Lien Brilleslijper, contacted Otto and notified him of the death of his two daughters. They had both died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen. Unable to stand the pain, he confided in the helpers of the Secret Annex: Miep Gies, Jan Gies, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Bep Voskuijl, and Johan Voskuijl. Although several of them had been taken by the Nazis after their hiding place was discovered, they were able to escape or be released based on medical reasons. Once Miep was notified that Anne had passed away in Bergen-Belsen, she handed Anne’s beloved diary to Otto. At first, Otto could not bring himself to read it, yet with time, he became absorbed in his daughter’s writing. He would later reflect that it was only through Anne’s diary that he truly knew her. In Anne’s Diary, Anne disclosed how there were two versions of herself: the outgoing, bubbly version and the quiet, reserved, and thoughtful version. Otto said he never knew his daughter held such expressive views and thoughts. He encouraged every parent to truly get to know their child, support them, and be the parent you wanted your parents to be to you. For the rest of his life, Otto dedicated his time and energy to bringing awareness to Anne’s diary, advocating for acceptance over hate, and the need to end anti-semitism. To prevent the past from repeating, we must learn from it. Although Otto had been through unspeakable pain, he used what resources he had to keep the memory of his daughter alive. Through Otto, the Anne Frank Fonds was founded in January 1963. He also founded the Anne Frank House, which attracts over 1.3 million people every year. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Although Otto’s hope was dashed to pieces after hearing the news of his daughters’ deaths, he kept pushing forward in life. He had a purpose: to make his daughter’s memory known to the world and to fulfill her wish to become a writer. In our own lives, we must advance with this same confidence. If we have faith in God, nothing can hinder our lives. Cultivating faith in God can be challenging, especially if we have experienced a troubling time, but we are never without help. The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can foster a steadfast hope within us. This hope is like an everlasting candle; a candle that can never burn out. What is currently bringing doubts into your heart? Perhaps you are doubtful that God will bring you out of this difficult season, or if you will overcome a certain sin you are struggling with. Rather than doubting God, believe. As the father of the sick child said, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). Overcoming doubts and unbelief can be realized by spending time with God in prayer and Bible reading. By actively participating in your relationship with God, your faith in Him will grow. There may be difficult times ahead, but if your faith in God is strong, you can overcome even the toughest of situations. As the writer of Hebrews says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). Foster hope in God; He will never fail you. Do you doubt God in your daily life? What are some ways you can cultivate hope, confidence, and trust in God?

For more than four decades, Kevin Randle has investigated some of the world's most famous UFO cases—from Roswell and Kingman to Rendlesham Forest, Pascagoula, and beyond. In his newest book, UFO Sightings and Alien Visitations: Facts and Falsehoods, Randle takes a careful, evidence-based look at the strongest—and weakest—claims surrounding UFOs, alien encounters, government investigations, and alleged cover-ups.In this All Things Unexplained exclusive interview, we discuss the research behind the book, how Randle evaluates evidence, where skeptics and believers often go wrong, and which historical cases continue to withstand scrutiny decades later. We also explore the modern UAP era, recent congressional hearings, and whether today's disclosure movement is truly different from those of the past.Whether you're a longtime UFO researcher, a skeptic, or simply curious about the phenomenon, this conversation offers a thoughtful examination of one of the most enduring mysteries of our time.Topics include:Roswell and crash retrieval claimsThe Kingman investigationPascagoula and alien encountersRendlesham ForestAlien abductionsGovernment secrecy and disclosureEvaluating evidence vs. misinformationWhat Kevin Randle believes still remains unexplained

BB28 Thursday Eviction Ep Recap, Week 6 Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28's latest eviction night delivers a major shake-up as the house stands at a crossroads, with shifting alliances and unpredictable gameplay driving the action. Hosted by Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong, this episode features strategy breakdowns with guests including Captain Will and Maggie Morgan, as they react to Angela's surprising competition win and Kamu's exit. The conversation focused on Angela's unexpected Blockbuster win, a moment that stuns the house and flips eviction week on its head. Angela's strategy draws from Tucker's advice in last season's similar challenge, helping her outmaneuver strong physical threats like Kamu and Haley. Meanwhile, the fallout from the Lyric eviction continues to rattle the alliances, particularly as Melody and Mallory waver on votes and nearly flip the outcome, only to be talked back by Drew. The discussion explored the possible long-term impact of Kamu's eviction and whether the Icons alliance—largely staffed by Survivor alums—can maintain control against rising discontent from other houseguests like Melody and Mallory, who now may have their own agenda. Angela uses Tucker's comp strategy and clinches the Blockbuster win, as explained by Taran. Melody and Mallory consider voting to keep Kamu but ultimately stick with the majority after pressure from Drew. Dee and Devens' aggressive threat to fellow houseguests creates tension and almost ignites open alliance warfare. The hosts debate the effectiveness of the Survivor-style voting blocks the Icons utilize, raising questions about their fit in Big Brother gameplay. Diary room shoutouts and DR mistakes (like “evacuate” instead of “evict”) spark laughs throughout the recap. The house sits on a knife's edge as shifting loyalties unravel, and the next HoH could decide whether a new alliance rises or the Icons regain stability. Did the houseguests pick the right target in evicting Kamu, or will this decision backfire and reshape the season? Tune in for a detailed analysis and all the behind-the-scenes moments from Big Brother 28's latest pivotal episode.

BB28 Wednesday Veto Ep Recap, Week 6 Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 brings the tension as the Diamond Power of Veto shakes up the house's plans. In this recap episode, Rob Cesternino, Mary, and Pooya discuss Devens' big decision and the fallout from Kamu's surprise nomination, dissecting the shifting alliances and what this means for the next eviction. The discussion dives into Rick Devens' use of the Diamond Power of Veto to save Dee and put Kamu on the block, with the group reacting to the dramatic ceremony and its social impact. The episode covers the latest Head of Household and Veto competitions, with special attention to Yash's back-to-back competition wins and how these affect the power balance. The fallout from the veto ceremony is a focal point, as the panel examines the muted diary room reactions and the strategic cam talks that reveal Devens' thought process. The formation of the new “Mosh Pit” alliance is explored, highlighting how alliances are shifting and whether these bonds will hold as the vote nears. Devens uses the Diamond Power of Veto on Dee and puts Kamu on the block, with panelists debating whether it was too kind or just what the game needed. The panel points out that Yash and Kamu's competition performances make them pressing targets, and debate whether Devens should have saved his power for a later week. The “Mosh Pit” alliance is formed, with everyone questioning if this loose seven can stick together or if it will fall apart like previous groupings. Diary room talks give insight into houseguests' real thoughts, with some guests wishing for more drama and emotional fallout. Funny moments arise as costumes, OTEV chaos, and alliance names spark tangents about pit and roll puns. With alliances in flux and strong competitors like Yash and Kamu still in play, will Devens' gamble pay off, or did he just set himself and Dee up for trouble at the next vote?

Clint, Meg, and Dan kick off Friday chatting about mix-ups over what day it is and a flu jab PSA as influenza A spreads, then preview New Music Friday and discuss Will Ferrell’s support of his musician son and Zayn Malik’s farm-life photo dump. The show takes calls, including a Whanganui courier driver, before Clint explains correcting his 11-year-old who said “you get the jizz” instead of “gist,” leading to an awkward birds-and-bees talk. Highlights include Clint finally making fire with two sticks after a boss challenge, triggering a $1,000 splurge giveaway, plus the Producer’s Diary recap, a chicken-calling contest, and an ‘I’m single’ hat experiment for Producer Brady.

Because the novel is so funny and easy to read, and because the film is a romcom, it's easy to dismiss Bridget Jones's Diary as a simple story that Helen Fielding simply dashed off on a weekend. But nothing could be further from the truth. Even though it's a lighthearted story, Bridget is still a dimensional character and that's why we love her. -V.

In this episode of PodcastDX, we speak with Allany Muniz, founder of Diary of an Epileptic, about the realities of living with epilepsy beyond what most people see. Allany shares how her diagnosis changed her life and led her to create a platform built on honest storytelling, awareness, and connection. Together, we explore the many ways epilepsy can affect memory, confidence, relationships, mental health, daily routines, and a person's sense of identity—not only seizures. ​ This thoughtful conversation also addresses misinformation and stigma, the value of tracking symptoms and triggers, and the importance of informed, compassionate support from family, friends, and healthcare providers. Allany offers an encouraging message for people who are newly diagnosed: life may look different, but it can still be full, meaningful, and connected. ​ For more information and support: Visit the CDC's epilepsy resources, the Epilepsy Foundation's seizure-first-aid materials, and the National Association of Epilepsy Centers' patient resources. You can also follow our guest, Allany Muniz, and Diary of an Epileptic on Instagram and TikTok at @DiaryofanEpileptic, and on YouTube at Diary of an Epileptic. ​ ​Bio: Hey, my name is Allany Muniz, a woman who happens to have epilepsy. In my 14 going on 15 years of having epilepsy, I have experienced PTSD, healing, mental health issues, paranoia, finding my confidence/voice, and isolation. I got diagnosed in August of 2011. That particular day was typical, except for feeling excited to start my freshman year. I was ready to get rid of the nightmares I endured in middle school and saw high school as my fresh start. Honestly, I can't even tell you what he said; all I heard was seizures and epilepsy. A few days later, I had a seizure, which confirmed my epilepsy diagnosis. Of course, in my life, I've been the center of embarrassment and humiliation, so when I had 3 seizures at school, I became known as the "seizure girl."  Throughout the years, I received opportunities to speak about my story and spread awareness. The idea of Diary of an Epileptic started in 2019 when I would have these creative... self-talk moments (now known as vivid visions/dreams). In November 2020, I fractured my ankle and thought, " Might as well, since I had nothing else to do. It was weird at first because I forgot I was still loopy from the anesthesia, but it felt... right like I was on the right path.  

What do you desire that you haven't been willing to ask for? What if you could pull it into your life magically, would you? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Julia Sotas Mattis about creating magic in your life through energy pulls, complete with two guided energy pulls.  When you do an energy pull, you are working with the consciousness of the universe. You are letting the universe know your request and you are moving energy to facilitate receiving your request. The energy pull is the perfect starting point to use chaos and discover the type of wizard you are with energy. What magic are you capable of that you have not yet acknowledged you are capable of? What if everything in life is way easier than you think it is? Questions And Tools: "What chaos am I?" "What magic am I?" "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" "What is magical for me? What lights my fire?" "Universe, what do I desire beyond what I can possibly imagine?" "Dear universe, what else is possible?" Tools: Reading is so powerful What would you like to do that you are not choosing? Do energy pulls. Be willing to receive what you are asking for. What action are you taking? What are the greatest possibilities available for your business? We misidentify so much that working hard is going to create greater, but it's not.  What if relaxation was required to create and generate anything and everything? Where are you being so autonomous and refusing to ask for help? What if asking for help and asking to receive more is actually the bravest thing that you could choose? Receive all energies. True receiving is opening up to the entirety of the universe; not controlling what you will and won't receive. Choice is our super power! Magic is choosing what works. Acknowledge you are the source of creation of everything. Start being that brilliance and ask for what you desire and require. If you want to create more magic, acknowledge the magic you already are creating. It will strengthen your relationship with your own magic and expand that magic. When you create magic say, "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" Joy can ignite more magic. Know what brings you joy. Your life is your business. What are the energies of magic for you? What lights your fire? What makes your life worth living? Ask for all of the things you desire that you can't even imagine right now; you don't need to.   What energy, space, consciousness, choice, magic, miracles, mysteries, possibilities, power, potency and profitability can you be to create a reality beyond this reality with total ease? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you are trying to get it right whilst thinking you are wrong, when in truth, what if you asked for freedom? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it?
