Have we just witnessed the biggest marketing flop of 2025?Everyone's talking about the latest film… Materialists, not because it was brilliant, but because the trailer set us up for one thing… and delivered something completely different.People went in expecting a fun, flirty rom-com.

Send us a textWhat if those moments we dismiss as "coincidences" are actually glimpses into something more profound? After spending most of my life as a determined atheist who believed spiritual people were simply not intelligent enough to rely on themselves, I've undergone a remarkable transformation.Sixteen years into sobriety and eleven years into an unexpected spiritual journey, I've completely reimagined what "God" means to me. No longer the rigid cultural construct I was taught to reject, I've discovered what I call "the whisper of God"—that intelligent, intuitive knowing within that guides us toward clarity, peace, and compassion when we're willing to listen.But recently, I've been drawn toward something even more intriguing: the realm of miracles. Those moments when you think of someone and they immediately call. When you feel compelled to reach out to a friend who, unbeknownst to you, is in crisis. Are these really just random coincidences, or could they be something more?After reading a book called "Signs," I decided to conduct a personal experiment, asking my departed father and sister to send me specific signs—butterflies for my dad and hearts for my sister. What followed defies logical explanation: a monarch butterfly appearing outside my window during a coaching call, and later, a profound experience in Texas involving a hotel clerk named Jessica (my sister's name) who assigned me to the 13th floor (the date of my sister's passing was March 13th). When I shared this synchronicity with her, she broke down crying, confiding her struggle with alcoholism and believing our meeting was divinely arranged.Whether you're a spiritual seeker or a confirmed skeptic, I invite you to join me on this experiment into the unknown. What might we discover if we remain open to possibilities beyond our understanding? Share your own experiences with signs or synchronicities—I'd love to hear your story as we navigate this mysterious terrain together.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

First, Angel discovers Darla has returned in the flesh! However, the rest of Angel Investigations believes him about as much as the Scoobies believed Buffy. When he tries to get proof, he crosses wires with Ladycop Kate, who opens an investigation into him.   Then, a powerful warlock hires Angel to protect his precious daughter, Virginia. The only problem? The real Angel has left on a spiritual retreat, and the warlock's hench-Mitches won't take “no” for an answer. Wesley's solution? Disguise! Meanwhile, Cordelia's hair becomes sentient and stages a coup.   “Guise Will Be Guise” coverage starts at 51:20.   Hear us discuss… Angel Investigations needs an orientation video that drops all the Angel lore The character assassination of Kate Is a guru fake if he speaks real wisdom? Wesley as Angel is the funniest thing we've ever seen Are we imagining it? The hair is real bad, right??   Trigger warning Kidnapping  

Grab your phials of glowing green goo and prepare to ham it up as we talk once more about Jeffrey Combs, the Philip Madoc of Star Trek (that's a Classic Doctor Who reference) and three episodes where his many characters make large roles. Unfortunately, Weyoun is only in a few scenes of Deep Space Nine's ‘Ties of Blood and Water' and both Miles and Charlie try really hard not to get personal as Kira has to look after a seriously ill surrogate family figure, fortunately Shran more than makes up for it in Enterprise's ‘Cease-Fire' as Archer is drafted into helping settle a planetary land dispute between Vulcans and Andorans and we make a little detour to ‘A Few Badgeys More' as AGIMUS, the evil computer and F***ing Peanut Hamper plan mischief… if you're one of those weirdos who only listen to hear Miles swear, this episode is for you! Come back in a year's time probably for J3ff, more than likely.EPISODES MENTIONED: TIES OF BLOOD AND WATER (14:26), CEASE-FIRE (45:33) A FEW BADGEYS MORE (1:11:27)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: Blowing up Objectivists, what elements of British films make Miles homesick, The Phonecian Scheme, John Wickend which leads to a wider discussion on John Wick, the Death of Princess Diana, our first Jeff episode does not have enough Jeff, Kira has supplanted Odo as Miles' favourite DS9 character, how Kira and Ace from Doctor Who are very similar, a long way from the ‘Prat' version of Bashir, Miles finds out something horrifying about LL Cool J, Charlie retells his one TATU story and the boys clearly have Heatstroke, Shram/Archer shippers must exist, Andorian soccer mums, accents, Andorian Antennae acting, we don't need the Koala-joke in Lower Decks explained, Miles actually compliments ****ing Peanut Hamper, Boimler and Tendi hanging out together always seems weird.PEDANTS CORNER: Jeffrey Combs is Ratchet in Transformers Prime, not Transformers: Robots in Disguise

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Kaddu Sebunya, CEO of the African Wildlife Foundation, to explore Africa's wildlife future and the uncomfortable questions surrounding conservation on our continent.We discuss Kaddu's journey from Idi Amin's Uganda to leading one of the world's largest conservation organizations, the looming extinction crisis for Africa's elephants, gorillas, and rhinos, the struggle for conservation funding in a world prioritizing war over nature, and whether modern conservation is just another form of neo-colonialism.We also unpack the tough trade-offs: Should precious land in places like Kinigi go to people or wildlife? And what will Kenya's and Rwanda's wildlife look like in 30 years if we don't act now?Tune in for a deep, unflinching conversation about Africa, environment, justice, and the choices shaping our shared future.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

Episode Summary:This week, Peter and Eden dive headfirst into the high-octane world of Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers comic run, exploring its explosive art, emotional beats, and G1 nostalgia. Along the way, they unpack the pains of modern TV consumption, vent about doomed adaptations, and gush over goth rock albums and short-form sci-fi. It's a heartfelt mix of media love, mild despair, and giant robots punching each other in the face—with feeling.Show Notes:Peter kicks things off with a July 4th check-in and a quick rundown of what he's been reading and listening to, including Atomic Habits and the debut album by High Parasite, a side project involving My Dying Bride's Aaron Stainthorpe.Murderbot adaptation on Apple TV+ gets a thoughtful breakdown: Peter shares his appreciation for its tone, visuals, and how closely it mirrors Martha Wells' novella All Systems Red, especially its deadpan view of humanity and delightful Sanctuary Moon cutaways.Discussion veers into TV trust issues—how shows like Paper Girls and Wheel of Time were abandoned too early by streamers like Amazon and Netflix, and why Apple TV+'s longer-term faith in its properties (Slow Horses) earns praise.Eden questions the fractured nature of modern TV popularity, riffing on Yellowstone's massive reach despite their total ignorance of anyone watching it.A segment on Eden's short-lived journey into the glitchy, chaotic world of gacha game Re Memento: White Shadow, complete with mistranslations and catastrophic layoffs.Peter shares exciting news about planning a trip to Japan for his 27th wedding anniversary—and the hurdles of learning Japanese through Duolingo.For our main topic, we dive into the first arc of Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers comic:Eden provides background on the series and its creative team, praising Johnson's gritty, wrestling-inspired action sequences and nuanced character work.Peter offers perspective as a lifelong fan reconnecting with the property, reflecting on the emotional impact of Optimus Prime, especially how the comic echoes the trauma of Transformers: The Movie (1986).Highlights include gruesome Starscream moments, human character development (especially Sparky's sacrifice), and Optimus wielding Megatron's blaster arm.Both hosts discuss the comic's balance between fresh storytelling and homage to classic G1 design and lore.Closing thoughts touch on the excitement (and dread) around Robert Kirkman taking over the series soon, and how this arc was a rewarding, if nostalgia-heavy, entry point for fans old and new.

The song “Welcome to New York” has been in my head all week preparing for this episode on the book Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise, a witty and revealing memoir by renowned food critic Ruth Reichl. During her time as The New York Times restaurant critic, Reichl went undercover in elaborate disguises to avoid preferential treatment and uncover the truth about New York's dining scene. Blending memoir, food writing, and restaurant reviews, the book offers delicious behind-the-scenes stories, vivid character sketches, and reflections on identity, privilege, and the power of perception, all served under the iconic Manhattan skyline.The amazing person who came to me with this book is Mandy Naglich, an author, journalist, and certified taster. She travels the world to report stories on food and drink culture for a variety of outlets as well as her own personal platform, Drinks with Mandy. Her award-winning book, How to Taste, takes readers on a journey into their senses and introduces them to the quirky characters in the world of professional tasting along the way.

Most B2B teams think outbound is just about activity. Book meetings, hit quota, move on.But this week on The B2B Playbook, we sat down with Shawn Sease—aka The Professor of Prospecting—to expose why that model is broken.Shawn's seen it all. From old-school cold call sprints to modern GTM teams trying to do outbound in the age of AI. And he's brutally honest about what actually works today.Together, we unpack how to rebuild your sales development system around truth, timing, and trust—not just activity.Here's what we cover in this episode:+ Why most sales development strategies fail before the first call+ The power of cataloguing accounts (and why it's better than intent data)+ How to build outbound systems that don't collapse when your SDR quits+ What real Sales and Marketing alignment looks likeTune in and learn:+ Why timing is a weak signal (and what to track instead)+ How cataloguing transforms your outreach strategy+ What great commercial architecture actually looks likeThis episode is a must-watch if you're a B2B marketer or sales leader who's tired of outbound that doesn't scale, and wants a better way to reach your market.-----------------------------------------------------

In today's chaotic world, people are living in fear. You and I can be different. When we have confidence, faith and a good attitude, others will notice a difference and we can point them to Jesus. We can work as Jesus in disguise.

Recently several videos from recruiters on LinkedIn have gone viral. The videos appear to show recruiters conducting routine job interviews over a video call, but something is up with the candidates. Their faces are blurred, and they appear to be using some sort of a filter. After some strange interaction with the recruiter, they drop off the call. But these creepy videos are not isolated incidents – many recruiters are reporting that this has happened to them multiple times. Who are these candidates really? We expose the phenomenon of North Korean IT workers applying for remote tech jobs in the US, and how this has become a significant revenue raising scheme for Kim Jong Un's regime. The FBI believes thousands of North Koreans have made millions of dollars using fake, stolen or borrowed identities to work remotely. And now, there is evidence that the scheme is expanding into Europe. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC Trending in-depth reporting on the world of social media.

In this raw and revealing conversation, Lauren and Sophie explore the subtle spiritual deception many women face when something feels good but isn't of God. They unpack Lauren's personal journey of walking away from New Age practices like reiki and kundalini, and what true spiritual sustainability feels like when rooted in Jesus.   They also open up about their evolving desires to leave the hustle, step back from performance, and be at home—anchored in union, motherhood, and the quiet trust of being provided for.   Together, they dive into:

This week's Libra Bloom is giving: “I could've told you, but I wanted to show you.” We've got a couple—possibly freshly official or deepening their connection—where one person's sitting on a quiet flex. Whether it's money, vibes, or emotional depth, they have something that could really help the other…but offering it means revealing a truth they've been holding close. Not scandalous—just vulnerable.It's a classic Libra Venus dance: love, balance, and a little mystery.And let's be honest—sometimes the biggest green flag is a well-timed reveal.

We've been told being an empath is a superpower.But what if it's actually a sign of severe dysfunction?In this video, I break down the real difference between empathy and being an empath—and why the experts aren't telling you the whole truth.Empaths don't just feel other people's emotions—they become them.That's not sensitivity. That's a loss of self.It's not emotional mastery. It's codependency.Here's what I had to learn the hard way:

Happy Pride, Rewinders! Here's an extra queer episode featuring '80s gender bending, sex jokes, and flashing! Mark welcomes fellow podcaster, writer, and movie lover Devin Lotfi back to the show to be his prom date and celebrate the 1985 cult classic Just One of the Guys for its 40th anniversary. Some of you don't know this movie and frankly, how dare you! They each watched it on cable as kids, laughing, gasping, and relating to the experience of hiding your true self and blending in. Before Amanda Bynes disguised herself as a boy in the great She's the Man, Joyce Hyser did it here two decades earlier and busted out that memorable reveal. Listen to Devin's podcast I Don't Want To Hear That, about top tier TV series The Comeback, which just celebrated 20 years!

Think you can outwit a dragon with a fake bridge and a charisma check? Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast episode where illusions kill, confusion reigns, and disbelief is just a failed Will save away. Show Notes: In this spellbinding episode, the RPGBOT crew explores the mischievous magic of illusions, where what you see may not be what you get—and what you don't see might still sucker-punch your barbarian. Between tactical breakdowns and spontaneous chipmunk tangents, the hosts weave a chaotic yet surprisingly informative tapestry of illusion mechanics, storytelling antics, and system comparisons between Pathfinder 2e, D&D 5e, and even a detour through Final Fantasy materia mechanics. The episode begins with a healthy dose of banter and battlefield survival strategies (spoiler: bolas are back in fashion), before veering headfirst into the world of illusion magic. Expect spirited debates about phantasms, the value of disbelief, and whether players should be required to announce, “I squint suspiciously at the air in front of me” before they're allowed a Will save. From chipmunks being bullied out of neighborhoods by thug squirrels, to Gandalf being played by Fozzie Bear, this episode is a chaotic celebration of how illusion and disguise mechanics shape storytelling, humor, and heartbreak at the gaming table. Plus: learn why DMs should occasionally pretend not to know what's happening... even when they wrote the plot twist. And yes—someone actually asks the important question: “Is it really a good illusion if it doesn't accidentally start a bar fight?” Key Takeaways: Character death matters—especially when caused by a flaming imaginary bridge. Optimization tips: Use bolas. No, seriously. They're hilarious and effective. Chipmunks are rare because squirrels have anger issues. Illusions are not just for mischief—they can dramatically shift combat and story if used (and ruled) well. Phantasms can cause real damage... and even real friendship-ending debates. DMs need to balance illusions to avoid turning a boss fight into a Scooby-Doo episode. Pathfinder 2e provides more clarity on disbelieving illusions than 5e, which mostly says "good luck, champ." Disguises are not illusions, but they can lead to awkward social interactions at royal balls. Illusions can enhance roleplay, story arcs, and character drama—but they need DM discretion. Session zero is a great place to ask, “How weird can my illusions get before the game breaks?” Improvisation is key: Illusions don't always follow the script. Neither should the DM. Muppet recasting of Tolkien characters is an important use of podcast time. Kermit as Frodo. Fozzie as Gandalf. Sam remains unchanged. Materias in Final Fantasy are weird, wild, and somehow relevant to this conversation. Illusions shouldn't ruin the fun—just complicate it in hilarious and meaningful ways. Players rarely remember to ‘study' illusions, so DMs must choose whether to be kind... or let them walk face-first into the dragon's tail. Game mechanics are weird, but that's half the fun. Communication is everything—especially when you're lying to your DM with a straight face.

If you've ever said yes when you meant hell no, or overcommitted to the point of breakdown, this episode is for you. Suzanne and Albert dig deep into the real reason so many of us burn out: not just a lack of boundaries with others, but with ourselves. Together, they unpack: The sneaky ways self-sabotage shows up (like helping someone who didn't ask...just to avoid your own to-do list). Why being “easygoing” is often code for “internally resentful.” The difference between being respected and being liked (spoiler: people-pleasing rarely gets you either). How saying no gets easier with practice (but still trips us up sometimes). How overcommitting is a fast-track to sabotage, and what to do instead. Albert shares his personal story of over-giving as a teacher and a business owner, how it nearly cost him everything, and the hard-earned lessons that turned it all around. If you've ever felt taken for granted, spread too thin, or totally overlooked despite giving everything you had, this episode will feel like coming home, with a side of “it's time to change.” Find out more about Albert here: www.albertbramante.com  Find out more about Suzanne here: https://www.suzanneculberg.com For exclusive content, including a private solo podcast, join Suzanne's Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/suzanneculberg Enjoy my podcast?

In part two of this raw and unfiltered four-part series The Truth About Building a Business That's Real, Raw, and Still Rising, Kehla shares the often-hidden journey of identity unraveling behind building a spiritual, service-based business. This episode pulls back the curtain on what it really looked like to go from being an elite-level rugby athlete, to burning out in her business, to spiralling through certification after certification in search of enough-ness. With vulnerability and clarity, she traces the energetic thread from teacher to trainer to spiritual coach to Human Design & Gene Keys business guide—and how each identity both helped and hindered her evolution. Kehla breaks down what no one tells you about the trap of over-educating, the pressure of spiritual performance, and the reality that your new identity isn't something handed to you—it's something you claim again and again in the quiet moments no one sees. You'll hear how her podcast became a mirror of her own evolution, how the wrong mentorship almost made her quit before she ever really began, and how the Human Design and Gene Keys finally gave her the language to recognize the identity that had been there all along. This is not just a story of change. It's a wake-up call for anyone secretly freezing in their business, clinging to outdated roles, waiting for permission to step into their next level. Question for contemplation: Where are you still trying to earn your worth through performance instead of presence?   Work with Kehla: Check out Kehla's website Grab Kehla's Complimentary Resources Follow Kehla on IG

What if education wasn't about grades or transcripts—but about becoming the kind of person who can figure it out? In this powerful and timely episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Matt Beaudreau returns for a second time to help launch Ginny Yurich's brand new book, Homeschooling: You're Doing It Right Just by Doing It, which he proudly endorsed. Together, they dismantle the conveyor belt model of schooling and offer a radically freeing alternative: when parents grow, kids grow. Matt shares stories of teens building real-world skills, chasing big goals, and thriving outside of traditional timelines—often without ever taking a test. He and Ginny explore meta-skills, modeling, self-reliance, boredom as a gift, and why success without peace is failure in disguise. This is not just a podcast episode—it's a rallying cry for parents to trust themselves, grow boldly, and reclaim childhood. ** Learn more about Apogee and all they have to offer here Get your copy of Homeschooling, You're Doing it Right Just by Doing It here Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle Richards has received some heartbreaking news over the past week as the RHOBH new season cast announcement is expected to drop any day now. Jax has realized he is not meant to be in a relationship, to nobody's surprise, and Brittany seems to be loving the drama of this season on The Valley just a little bit too much. Gizelle's children have a message for Eminem as RHOP's new season celebrates with a Birthday party for Karen Huger despite the fact that she is in jail. New facts emerge in Teresa's new joint biz venture which seem shady, at best. Last, but certainly not least, a year ago our very own Miss Fraser went viral after giving a scathing, albeit, honest, review of Something About Her on opening day.  Today, we return to the scene of the crime, in disguise, to avoid any complicated run ins, and share an updated review with good news, bad news and some, albeit unsolicited, advice of where Katie and Ariana should go next. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPOT & TANGO - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠spotandtango.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠piquelife.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠ (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You're Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread's Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) SELFUP - ⁠⁠⁠selfup.com⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford's Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠⁠⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn't Wait) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
