In this episode of the Podcast, Dr. David Puder sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Katie Unverferth, Director of the UCLA Women's Life Center and Medical Director of the UCLA Maternal Mental Health Program, to clarify the critical differences between common postpartum intrusive thoughts of infant harm, postpartum OCD, and true postpartum psychosis. They discuss how nearly all new mothers experience ego-dystonic thoughts of accidental or intentional harm, how to screen without triggering concealment, when severity and compulsions cross into OCD, the role of high-dose SSRIs plus exposure and response prevention (ERP), red-flag signs of ego-syntonic content, agitation, insomnia, and delirium-like states that signal psychosis, and the strong evidence for lithium prophylaxis and acute treatment in high-risk patients.    Link to blog Link to YouTube video

Questions are mounting over whether foreign money was illegally funneled into Democratic campaigns through ActBlue, as multiple top officials at the fundraising platform invoke their Fifth Amendment rights during a congressional investigation. The probe is examining how ActBlue vets donations and whether the platform misled lawmakers about its safeguards against foreign contributions. Texas Republican Congressman Pat Fallon joins the Rundown to discuss the investigation. Technology is becoming an inescapable part of daily life, and Health and Human Services has issued a formal advisory to warn parents about the dangers of excessive screen time. Director of National Health Communications and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos speaks with FOX's Aishah Hasnie about what HHS' findings, practical toolkits for parents, and how families can encourage kids to put down the devices and live in the real world.

The restoration and rerelease of Unzipped—the ur-fashion documentary— with Janus this September has had the Vogue office abuzz for months. Ahead of its run in theaters The Run-Through co-host Nicole Phelps—who says the film was her “gateway drug to fashion,” met with inimitably charming Isaac Mizrahi, designer, performer, the film's star and since June 2026, Target's first Creative Director at Large, to talk supermodels, and not mixing work with love—or Ambien.   “It was a very good moment in fashion,” conjectures Mizrahi about the continuing draw of the film. “I bet if you had substituted some other fabulous, funny people in that movie, it would've been good. Mm. You know? It was just a good moment. But specifically in my oeuvre, it was almost inevitable to tell a story of that kind, because I don't know if their fittings were as hilarious as my fittings, you know? …  I think that's another thing, the interaction of [those women, those supermodels, and these designers. You know, it really was, it was photogenic. You know, the camera really loved this subject.”  Nonetheless, Mizrahi has more of a bird's-eye perspective on the impact of Unzipped than most of the rest of the world. “So as to Unzipped and it changing my life, you know, I don't really feel it changed my life,” he said. Mizrahi identifies his transition from yeshiva to the Performing Arts High School as one of the tipping points  in his life. Another was landing a job at Perry Ellis. “I have to tell you, my dear, that was an incredibly inspiring place and it would've changed anybody.”  Unzipped had a similar effect on fashion documentaries, setting a bar that has rarely been reached since.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Luke Bongiorno, PT, Director of NOIGroup, about what it really looks like to bring pain science into the treatment room. Karen and Luke dig into how he blends manual therapy, breath work, movement, and even music into a pain-science-informed approach and why consent, communication, and simply being human with patients matter as much as any technique.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alison Ellwood has spent years uncovering the stories behind some of music's most fascinating artists and scenes, from the Eagles and the Go-Go's to Laurel Canyon and San Francisco. Her latest film, Boy George & Culture Club, takes us behind the colorful image of one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s and into the complicated stories that unfolded behind the scenes. We talk about the love affair between Boy George and Jon Moss that inspired the music, George's struggles with drug abuse, the secrets within the band, and the fallout surrounding their missed opportunity to perform at Live Aid. Alison also revisits the Eagles, including the tensions that were still very much alive when she made her documentary, and the idealism, creativity and community that defined San Francisco's music scene in the '60s. She shares what she's really looking for when she sits down with an artist and how she gets beyond the answers they've given a hundred times before. It's a fascinating conversation about music, fame, relationships and the stories hiding beneath the surface. Boy George & Culture Club is available on Amazon and Apple TV.

“You don't hate selling. You hate not knowing how to get clients.” –Steph CrowderAre you just box checking and calling it sales?Sales isn't a personality thing, it's a skillset you can learn.

Go into it with curiosity and openness.SPEND ONE HOUR A DAY ON MONEY MAKING ACTIVITIES. What if you spent one hour every day on money making activities?

Pick a timeframe — a few hours in an airport lounge, the time between drop off and pick up, a single morning — and challenge yourself to get an email series or landing page done.

Ep. 241 | A deeply engaging conversation in which Alexander Love, adult development expert and coach, and author of the soon-to-be-published trilogy Evolutionary Gestures, introduces us to the post-tragic perspective, with all of its potential to nourish, ground, and open us to a world of possibilities. Alexander explains that post-tragic is not a developmental stage per se, but a dimension available to anyone willing to do the work. It's part of a triad—pre-tragic innocence, tragic disillusionment, and post-tragic possibilities—encountered in every wisdom tradition, the hero's journey, and every good story. Post-tragic is not about leaving the tragedy (trauma, pain, loss) behind, but about turning toward it and dropping into a dimension of being that can interface with it in a new way, from a place that isn't divided or broken. It's also about asking, what happens next, after the tragedy? How does the story proceed?Shattering our certainty, a tragic event in our lives makes our world more diaphanous, Alexander continues, opening the way for us to lean further into the mystery. Here we encounter the vastness of possibility, the mystery being the first imagined wholeness, the seed of all potentiality, and we begin to see the sacred and the beauty in everything. Though the healing notion of facing our trauma and working through it is not new, Alexander's pre-tragic, tragic, and post-tragic framework (deeply informed by his own experience) is compelling. With it, he has painted in the entire landscape around the core tragedy or trauma, giving us the full picture, the before and after, and connected us with a dimension of compassion and forgiveness that is liberating and full of promise. A wise, gentle, intense, warm, humble conversation. Recorded April 23, 2026.“It's not forgive and forget… It's remember deeply.

He also teaches with Stages International and is a certified STAGES scorer.Alexander's forthcoming book, The Evolutionary Gestures Trilogy, is a mythopoetic exploration of the sacred gap — the space between self and world where insight awakens alongside the deep pain of separation. The work is grounded in the story of his father's murder and the restorative justice dialogue he later held with the man who took his father's life — an experience that profoundly shaped his understanding of healing, accountability, and reconciliation, and continues to inform his work today. Through magic realist memoir, evocative artwork, and a novel articulation of human becoming, this volume opens toward post-tragic possibility while introducing a distinctive developmental vision.

Yes, the Vice President of the United States, along with the right's most celebrated minds, were arguing over whether a burrito should cost $20.Beneath the viral posts was a serious question: why does it feel like the American Dream keeps getting more expensive? Me and my wife certainly feel the squeeze on the cost of groceries, housing, and everyday necessities.We own a house, but homeownership is increasingly out of reach for young Americans. The problem has become existential, and Congress is once again debating how to tackle affordability.To figure out what to do about this deeply pressing issue, I spoke with John Gibbs, Director of the Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. We chatted about what's really driving America's affordability crisis, how we get more American families in homes, and what policymakers can do to make it happen.

When people with ADHD struggle to start, return to, or finish a task, their inaction is frequently mislabeled as laziness, poor motivation, or chronic procrastination. In reality, the obstacle is rarely about logistics or effort. It stems from the emotional pre-work required just to get to the starting line. Brendan Mahan, an ADHD coach, speaker, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast, and author of Overcoming the Wall of Awful, joins Emily to talk about the emotional barriers that turn ordinary demands into overwhelming roadblocks. TAKEAWAYS Task paralysis is driven primarily by emotional labor and accumulated negative memories rather than simple executive dysfunction or laziness. The emotional work required to face an anxiety-provoking task is invisible from the outside, which often cause those around you to mistake genuine freeze states for willful procrastination. Smashing through emotional barriers using eleventh-hour panic and anger damages internal self-esteem and strains personal relationships. Putting a door in an emotional barrier involves shifting short-term states using external scaffolding such as body doubling, high-interest music, or novel environments. Climbing an emotional barrier requires a balance of active cognitive processing and passive mind-wandering to allow the brain's default mode network to metabolize stress. Healthy accountability separates functional impairments from moral worth by treating ADHD symptoms with the same matter-of-fact compassion as an asthma flare-up or chronic physical condition.

Todd welcomes Drew Hannush back as co-host for a deep dive into one of bourbon's most storied and resilient revived brands — Chicken Cock Whiskey. Joining them is Will Woodington, National Brand Ambassador and Director of Brand Engagement for Chicken Cock, who walks listeners through the brand's remarkable history stretching back to 1856 in Paris, Kentucky, its prohibition-era smuggling days, and the meticulous care taken to resurrect it in the 21st century under Grain and Barrel Spirits. Drew, who conducted historical research on the brand, adds rare archival insights about founder James A. Miller, the brand's Bourbon County roots, and the evolving paper trail that keeps surprising even the most seasoned researchers. On the Tasting Mat: - Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon: The flagship expression and top-seller, bottled at 90 proof with a high-rye mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley. Produced in collaboration with Bardstown Bourbon Company using hand-selected American white oak logs with a medium-plus toast and level-three char. Tasting notes include baking spice, clove, orange zest, apricot, butterscotch, apple, cinnamon, and a gentle warming finish. *(00:02:07)* - Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey: A 90-proof rye built on a 95% rye, 5% malted barley mash bill, aged a minimum of two years with barrels ranging two to four years in the blend. Approachable and well-balanced, offering gentle white pepper spice, lemongrass, citrus, spearmint, cinnamon, and a toasted wood note with a hint of bubblegum sweetness on the nose. *(00:18:32)* - Chicken Cock Weeded Bourbon: A newer core expression bottled at 94 proof, featuring a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. Inspired in part by historical evidence that James A. Miller incorporated wheat into early Chicken Cock production. Tasting notes include honey bread, raspberry cream, soft sweetness, and a rich, approachable mouthfeel that distinguishes it clearly from the high-rye flagship. *(00:18:44)* - Chicken Cock Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey: A 10-year-old expression distilled in 2014 with an 80.5% corn, 11% rye, 8.5% malted barley mash bill. Due to an industry-wide oak shortage, the distillate was aged seven years in used bourbon barrels before Chicken Cock transferred it to brand-new level-four char barrels at the top of the Bardstown rickhouse for an additional three years. Bottled at an undisclosed proof, it delivers caramel, dark fruit, toffee, coconut, and a long, rich finish without the aggressive oak often found in traditional double-oak expressions. *(00:46:20)* - Chicken Cock Miller's Reserve: A limited 2025 release bottled at 115 proof, blending four whiskeys from four states that border the Ohio River — a 10-year Chicken Cock double oak from Kentucky, an 8-year high-rye bourbon from Indiana, a 10-year weeded bourbon from Ohio, and an 8-year weeded bourbon from West Virginia. Created to honor the 1860 loss of 475 barrels of Chicken Cock whiskey when the steamship A.O. Tyler sank in the Ohio River. Tasting notes include dark fruit, fig, pipe tobacco, butterscotch, and a decadent, long-lasting finish. *(00:38:40)* Whether you're a longtime Chicken Cock devotee or encountering the brand for the first time, this episode offers a rare blend of serious whiskey tasting and genuine historical detective work. Will, Todd, and Drew leave no stone unturned — from original medicinal pint bottles and saloon match dispensers to cornerstone time capsules and mysterious grave markers — making a compelling case that Chicken Cock is far more than a memorable name. It is a living piece of American whiskey history.

What if the next chapter of your career isn't another executive position, but something you build for yourself? In this special seventh anniversary episode of the Wickedly Smart Women Podcast, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amanda Goodwin, the newest member of the Wickedly Smart Women team and Director of Engagement and Strategic Partnerships.  After serving as CEO of a technology startup, Amanda realized she had spent decades progressing from one leadership role to another without ever intentionally mapping out what would come next. Her initial answer to the question was simple: rest. This is Part 1 of a special seven-part series celebrating seven years of Wickedly Smart Women and exploring the often-overlooked bridge between corporate leadership and consultancy. What You Will Learn: Why successful corporate careers do not automatically create a clear path for what comes next. How rest can create the space needed for creativity, clarity, and the next stage of growth. Why timing matters when considering a move from corporate leadership into consulting. How decades of professional experience can become valuable intellectual property. Why your expertise can be applied across multiple industries and sectors. How to begin recognizing the systems, processes, and knowledge you have already built. Why creating your own path can give you greater agency over your time and career. How a consultancy can provide freedom while still allowing you to serve organizations and causes you care about. Why having human support can make navigating a major career transition more intentional. How building a consultancy can allow high-achieving women to create new possibilities for their expertise, income, and impact.   Connect with Amanda Goodwin Wickedly Smart Women https://www.wickedlysmartwomen.com/ Connect with Wickedly Smart Women® Wickedly Smart Women Wickedly Smart Women on X Wickedly Smart Women on Instagram Wickedly Smart Women Facebook Community Wickedly Smart Women Store on TeePublic [5X Award-Winning Book] Wickedly Smart Women: Trusting Intuition, Taking Action, Transforming Worlds Email: listeners@wickedlysmartwomen.com

What if your website already supports post-quantum cryptography, but nobody inside your organization knows how, why, or which provider controls it? I speak with David Warburton, Director of F5 Labs Threat Research, about new F5 research examining post-quantum cryptography across the world's top one million websites. According to the research discussed in our conversation, 54% now support PQC. It is an encouraging sign that preparations for future quantum threats are entering mainstream infrastructure. That figure is also easy to misread. David explains that much of the adoption comes from cloud and CDN providers enabling hybrid post-quantum protection for their customers. A smaller business could therefore appear better prepared than a large enterprise simply because its provider activated the technology automatically. However, that customer may have little understanding of the chosen cipher, the protection applied elsewhere, or the dependencies created around a small number of technology companies. David says the adoption rate looks very different when major CDN providers are removed from the data. This raises an important question about whether businesses are developing their own post-quantum security capabilities or temporarily benefiting from decisions made on their behalf. We discuss why current deployments combine established cryptography with newer post-quantum algorithms. This hybrid approach protects compatibility while browsers, APIs, operational technology, IoT devices, and older enterprise systems catch up. It also carries performance costs through larger cryptographic material and increased network traffic. David argues that crypto agility matters because organizations need the ability to change algorithms, certificates, and encryption methods as threats develop. The conversation also moves beyond encrypted traffic. Harvest now, decrypt later attacks involve collecting sensitive information today so it can potentially be decrypted when capable quantum computers arrive. David believes authentication and digital identity could create an even greater concern. A quantum computer able to produce valid certificates could potentially impersonate trusted websites, signed software, devices, or firmware. Legacy infrastructure remains one of the largest barriers. F5 Labs found that roughly one in ten leading websites lacked TLS 1.3 support, preventing them from supporting current hybrid PQC connections. David also explains why Germany and France may trail countries including the US, UK, Australia, Ukraine, and Singapore, despite strong national policies. Factors include digital sovereignty concerns and the concentration of older manufacturing and operational systems. For leaders beginning this work, David recommends speaking with suppliers, establishing internal ownership, reviewing business continuity plans, and creating a cryptographic bill of materials covering certificates, algorithms, libraries, applications, and devices. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so does your organization know where its cryptography lives and who controls its post-quantum readiness?

One Big Idea 4 - Driving Operational Excellence: From Algorithm-Free Organic Scale to Transformational Self-LeadershipIn this episode of One Big Idea, host Josh Elledge connects with Nikolas Hake, Scott Doggett, Carol Schultz, Andrew Lafuente, and Jane Monroe to break down the operational frameworks needed to scale modern businesses, refine organizational culture, and master executive self-leadership. Nikolas Hake, Founder and CEO of JUS Official Services, kicks off the conversation by detailing how emerging creators and brands can build compounding momentum without falling into short-term social media trends. Scott Doggett, Founder and Chief Servant Leader at the National Academy of Leadership Development, then shifts the focus toward corporate culture, exposing how executive perception directly impacts workforce engagement. Next, Vertical Elevation Founder and CEO Carol Schultz introduces the strategic deployment of a Chief of Staff to eliminate CEO burnout. Andrew Lafuente, Founder and Principal of Lafuente Sign and Awning, reveals how modernizing legacy B2B industries creates sustainable market differentiation. Finally, Entrepreneur and Keynote Speaker Jane Monroe closes the episode by mapping out the four dimensions of the self to help corporate executives lead with radical self-awareness.The One Big Idea That Helps You Win Online Without Following Algorithms with JUS Official Services' Nikolas HakeIn a digital landscape obsessed with immediate viral spikes, emerging creators and growing brands frequently dilute their positioning by frantically chasing fleeting algorithmic trends. Talent management expert Nikolas Hake explains that his "one big idea" directly targets this strategic error: long-term brand equity relies on building a structured, repeatable content engine that compounds over time. Many talent agencies focus exclusively on established names, leaving emerging professionals without structured guidance. By stepping in to provide early-stage support, transparent management, and flexible operational alignment, businesses can transition away from scattered, sporadic activity and anchor their brand around a single, highly cohesive value proposition.To build sustainable digital momentum, founders must shift from surface-level vanity metrics toward deep audience understanding and multi-channel alignment. Nikolas emphasizes that attempting to appeal to everyone ultimately erodes consumer trust. Instead, brands should prioritize message clarity, audit their communications across platforms, and focus on human-centric storytelling that creates real emotional resonance. By establishing structured content workflows and viewing digital visibility as a long-term marathon rather than a sprint, businesses can protect their core identity, navigate evolving software algorithms, and cultivate deeply loyal communities.Why Leadership Success Depends on Seeing People Beyond Their Job Titles with National Academy of Leadership Development's Scott DoggettMany executive teams attempt to resolve underlying corporate challenges like high employee turnover, low productivity, and team disengagement by rolling out new software tools or rigid corporate policies. However, leadership development expert Scott Doggett demonstrates that his core framework addresses a much deeper root cause: executive perception. When leaders subconsciously view their workforce through clinical or transactional labels—referring to employees merely as "resources," "leads," or "headcount to manage"—that underlying mindset inevitably seeps into daily operations. This dynamic erodes psychological safety, suppresses frontline initiative, and causes high-performing talent to disengage.To build an adaptable, human-centered corporate culture, Scott challenges executives to radically shift how they perceive their team members. When leaders intentionally view every individual as priceless—acknowledging their unique strengths, personal aspirations, and professional struggles—they unlock unprecedented levels of ownership, creative problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. Transforming corporate culture does not happen through static mission statements; it is forged through micro-interactions, such as practicing intentional presence in meetings, offering constructive feedback after errors, and replacing dehumanizing corporate jargon with empathetic language. By auditing their daily interactions, leaders can create an environment where talent genuinely thrives.Moving Beyond Micromanagement Through Strategic Delegation and Leadership with Vertical Elevation's Carol SchultzSmall and medium-sized business (SMB) CEOs frequently find themselves trapped in "operational overload," spending their valuable bandwidth managing daily meeting logistics, handling routine team communication, and putting out operational fires. Executive consultant Carol Schultz shares her foundational "one big idea" that solves this bottleneck: every CEO needs a Chief of Staff to serve as an operational force multiplier. Unlike a Director of Operations, who manages company-wide systems and department heads, a Chief of Staff focuses exclusively on managing the operations of the CEO's office. This crucial distinction allows visionary founders to reclaim up to 90% of their time, redirecting their focus toward high-level strategy, investor relations, and enterprise growth.Implementing a Chief of Staff requires a structured, multi-step transition process to ensure operational gaps are thoroughly documented before backfilling the position. Carol's proven framework involves auditing executive time, mapping critical operational tasks, and establishing clear delegation boundaries. Once implemented, this structure eliminates CEO burnout and prevents the executive from becoming an operational bottleneck. Paired with strategic authority-building tactics—such as establishing a streamlined press kit and securing targeted media guesting spots—CEOs can successfully step away from daily management minutiae and lead their organizations with clarity and vision.How Bold Thinking and Creativity Helped One Entrepreneur Beat the Competition with Lafuente Sign and Awning's Andrew LafuenteDisrupting a legacy industry does not require reinventing the underlying service; rather, it demands modernizing how that service is packaged, marketed, and delivered. B2B entrepreneur Andrew Lafuente outlines his "one big idea" on how he transformed a traditional manufacturing business into an agile brand serving major clients like Chase Bank, Trader Joe's, and Ralph Lauren. While traditional competitors in legacy sectors rely heavily on outdated word-of-mouth networks, Andrew embraced digital marketing, active social proof, and continuous competitive analysis to differentiate his brand, build trust, and capture market share.To convert industry analysis into scalable growth, leaders must view their competitors as a valuable source of market intelligence rather than a zero-sum threat. By regularly auditing market offerings, maintaining a polished and user-friendly digital footprint, and balancing local B2B accounts with high-profile national clients, legacy businesses can protect themselves against market downturns. Andrew highlights that maintaining strict attention to detail on digital channels—supported by proactive public relations, clear media kits, and strategic podcast appearances—allows modern founders to elevate their industry reputation, establish authoritative positioning, and drive predictable B2B revenue growth.Exploring the Four Selves Through a Journey of Self-Awareness and Leadership Growth with Jane MonroeTrue organizational transformation cannot occur until an executive learns the art of radical self-leadership. Keynote speaker and entrepreneur Jane Monroe introduces her core thesis on the road to leadership cohesion, which requires leaders to systematically explore and integrate four distinct dimensions of the self: the Known Self (public persona), the Hidden Self (private thoughts and boundaries), the Blind Self (unconscious behavioral blind spots), and the Mystery Self (untapped potential). Because executive ego often blocks self-awareness, leaders must actively build feedback loops to surface hidden blind spots before those unaddressed behaviors disrupt team dynamics.Unlocking the Mystery Self requires stepping far outside traditional comfort zones to dismantle limiting self-perceptions, much like Jane's own experience undertaking a 340-mile endurance kayak journey down the Missouri River. To cultivate leadership cohesion, executives must build a trusted advisory network—comprising coaches, mentors, or candid colleagues—who provide unvarnished, objective feedback. By prioritizing vulnerability over ego, normalizing continuous feedback within their corporate culture, and leading by example, business leaders can build resilient organizations rooted in mutual trust, psychological safety, and transformational growth.Links Mentioned in the EpisodeNikolas Hake on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikolashake/JUS Official Services Website: https://www.jusofficialservices.info/Scott Doggett on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottdoggett/National Academy of Leadership Development Website:

Over the summer, thousands of young Indians took to the streets to demand sweeping reforms of the higher education sector. This unexpected wave of Gen Z mobilization was catalyzed by the emergence of the Cockroach Janata Party, a satirical meme that blossomed into a national movement. Protests that began over the state of higher education soon tapped into something much larger: growing frustration among young Indians over jobs, economic opportunity, and their prospects for the future. India's jobs debate is often framed around a familiar set of concerns: too many people working in agriculture, too few manufacturing jobs, an economy that is too-services oriented, and stubbornly high unemployment among the young. Our guest on the show this week has views on these subjects that often cut against the conventional wisdom. Vidya Mahambare is the Union Bank Chair Professor of Economics and Director at the Great Lakes Institute of Management in Chennai. She studies central banking and monetary policy, structural transformation, labor market dynamics and gender economics. She is also a prolific commentator and writes regularly for outlets like Mint, Business Standard, and The Print. She joins Milan on the Season 16 premiere of Grand Tamasha to discuss the economic drivers of the Gen Z protests, the link between unemployment and education, and the futility of the manufacturing versus services debate. Plus, the two discuss the exodus of young people from the agricultural sector, the misleading headlines on female labor force participation, and India's acute urban housing shortage. Episode notes: Vidya Mahambare and Vivek Yadav, “Indian farms have been losing their workers—at a time they need the youth to improve farming,” Mint, July 20, 2026. Vidya Mahambare and Vivek Yadav, “Employed women in Uttar Pradesh—what explains such a large increase within a decade?” Mint, July 1, 2026. Vidya Mahambare and Asrar Alam, “Elusive jobs: how AI will demand even greater patience of India's unemployed youth,” Mint May 11, 2026. Vidya Mahambare and Poonam Munjal, “Are young Indians under or overworked? Both are true but AI may change work hours as we go along,” Mint, April 14, 2026. Vidya Mahambare, “Urbanization pressure: India's housing policy needs a rethink,” Mint, April 22, 2024. Vidya Mahambare et al., “The employment profile of India's young adults,” Hindu Business Line, May 5, 2026. At 11:29 in the recording, the guest misspoke when she said: “By 2025, we want to have a 50% of higher education rate in India." She later clarified that she meant to say 2035, not 2025.

In this episode of Caught on the Mike, I sit down with filmmaker, storyteller, and longtime 90210 superfan Pete Ferriero for a conversation that goes far beyond pizza.Pete is the filmmaker behind the new documentary The Best Pizza Is in LA, an entertaining and heartfelt exploration of Los Angeles' incredible pizza culture and his mission to prove that LA deserves a place in the conversation when it comes to the world's best pizza. We go behind the scenes of the film, the people Pete brought along for the journey, and what happens when a personal obsession turns into a documentary.But there's plenty more on the menu. Pete and I talk about our shared love of Beverly Hills, 90210, Peanuts, music, nostalgia, Anthony Bourdain, filmmaking, and the strange ways that seemingly unrelated interests can connect people. We also look ahead at some of Pete's upcoming projects, including a documentary exploring the Wizard of Oz-themed theme park experience and a deeply touching documentary centered around the life and legacy of the late Tim Curry.What started as a conversation about a documentary quickly became a conversation about the things we're passionate about, the stories we feel compelled to tell, and the people we meet along the way. I'm also proud to say that Pete has gone from being a guest on my podcast to someone I now consider a friend.From pizza and pop culture to nostalgia and storytelling, this is one of those conversations that reminds me exactly why I love doing Caught on the Mike.The Best Pizza Is in LA is available via TVOD.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com

In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan sits down with researcher and collaboration architect Nikki Schultek to explore an often-overlooked contributor to chronic disease: persistent infections and their impact on inflammation, immunity, and the brain. Drawing from her own experience with severe chronic illness, Lyme disease, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and autoimmunity, Nikki shares how her personal health journey led her into research and a mission to connect scientific disciplines that too often operate in isolation. Together, they explore the emerging concept of the pathobiome, the potential infectious drivers of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, the challenges of diagnosing persistent infections, and why understanding the body as an interconnected ecosystem could transform the future of chronic illness research and treatment.

Send Kevin a Text MessageAcademy Award-nominated screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes stories work and why emotion, character, and integrity sit at the center of great screenwriting. Ray's credits include Captain Phillips, The Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Richard Jewell, State of Play, Breach, and Flightplan. He discusses the lessons he learned from writers and films that shaped him, the discipline that has sustained his career, adapting The Hunger Games, learning from failure as a director, and why audiences need to care about what happens rather than simply wonder what happens next.Integrity, Emotion, and the Stories Billy Ray Tells (01:41): Ray identifies integrity as the recurring theme in his work and explains why the best screenwriting is an intellectual exercise designed to create an emotional response. If audiences are thinking about how smart the writing is rather than feeling the story, he says, the writer has missed the mark.Early Experiences, Curiosity, and Becoming a Storyteller (05:29): Ray reflects on experiences that shaped him at a young age and how they contributed to his sensitivity to other people's emotions. He and Goetz discuss empathy, curiosity, and why genuine interest in other people is essential to both writing and life.Knowing Your Audience: Messaging and Persuasion (13:35): A discussion about political communication becomes a broader conversation about audiences. Ray argues that effective messaging begins by understanding where people are emotionally and moving them from there, a principle Goetz connects directly to movie marketing and persuasive advertising.What Makes a Great Screenplay? (22:38): Ray recalls growing up around writers through his father, a literary agent, and being handed Alvin Sargent's Ordinary People screenplay as the standard to aspire to. He explains his fundamental rule of character: a protagonist needs both an external problem to solve and an internal problem that only the journey of the movie can fix.Great Characters, Great Villains, and the Cathartic Contract (26:29): Using Ordinary People, Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sound of Music, and Schindler's List, Ray and Goetz examine character construction. Ray argues that a great antagonist needs a defensible point of view and that every supporting character should reveal a different facet of the protagonist.Outworking the Competition and Shattered Glass (42:01): Ray discusses early influences including Rod Serling, literature that challenged and comforted him, and his realization as a young writer that he could not control talent or the state of the industry, but he could control how hard he worked. He also names Shattered Glass, his feature directing debut, as the film of which he is most proud.The Hunger Games and the Art of Reverse Engineering (46:30): Ray remembers reading Suzanne Collins' novel overnight and immediately recognizing its potential. He describes using Jaws to persuade producer Nina Jacobson that changes could strengthen an adaptation, and explains the concept of reverse engineering a screenplay so the first two acts properly support a powerful ending. He also shares the extraordinary security measures involved in writing The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Failure, Audience Testing, and the Oscar Chase (51:15): Ray speaks candidly about directing Secret in Their Eyes, recognizing that the film was not connecting strongly enough with audiences, and being shaken by the experience of losing an investor's money. He also reflects on his Oscar nomination for Captain Phillips, why awards can become addictive, and the danger of choosing projects because they seem like "Oscar movies" rather than because they are the right stories to tell.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Billy RayProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Billy Ray:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_%28screenwriter%29IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712753/Burn the Water: Available from Scholastic and booksellersFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

We talk with the McCormick Endowed Director of Athletics at Creighton University as the sports season begins to ramp up with Creighton.

Returning to the Thrive Hour is an expert panel featuring Phil Catalano, former NASA/JPL scientist; Loretta Ivory, college professor and researcher; and Jay Weidner, filmmaker, author, and founding member and former Director of Content at Gaia TV. Together, we explore the collision of competing agendas unfolding around the world—from AI and rapidly advancing technology to the push for a global reset—and how these forces could reshape humanity and our future.But what if this isn't humanity's first reset? We examine the possibility of previous advanced civilizations and catastrophic resets, from Lemuria and Atlantis to the more recent mysteries surrounding Tartaria. Are we witnessing the beginning of another major reset, and if so, what does it mean for humanity? This is a deep exploration of our past, our future, and the forces potentially shaping both, with three uniquely knowledgeable guests bringing very different perspectives to the conversation.
