*triggers: contains description of physical assault Emily Atack left school at 16, confident she wouldn't need a GCSE for what she wanted to do: act. It turns out, she was correct. She starred as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the smash-hit comedy The Inbetweeners when she was just 17 and is currently on our screens as Sarah Stratton in Disney+'s hit drama Rivals, as well as co-hosting a new ITV game show, Nobody's Fool, with Danny Dyer. But it hasn't always been easy: she faced sexual harassment and abuse from the age of 10. We talk about the impact this has had on how she now understands her own capabilities and about how her unbreakable bond with her sister, Martha, has helped her survive the toughest challenges. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction to Emily 03:19 Learning Boundaries 05:33 Class and Growing Up 07:39 Paul McCartney Connection 10:00 Failing to Believe In Herself 14:58 Leaving Home at Sixteen 25:10 Inbetweeners Fame Fallout 30:18 Praise for Rivals 31:23 Earning Creative Trust 32:51 Emotional Regulation Struggles 35:40 Forgiveness and Loneliness 37:20 Childhood Trauma and Sex 41:35 Alistair and Finding Home 46:52 Motherhood and Body Image 55:19 Keeping Nice Things and Goodbye

Carrie and Fran are sharing part 2 of their trip to Walt Disney World! On this episode they are recording "on location" from their kitchen at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. They talk about the arts and crafts they did, the parks they visited and BINGO! They did some different things on this trip and they're sharing what is worth doing on your next trip!
We're recapping a wild Walt Disney World weekend that included car camping at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, trying out Lightning Lane Multi Pass over two full park days, eating our way around property, and finally getting to experience newly reopened attractions like Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster, Smuggler's Run, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Ranger Spin, and Soarin. We'll talk about the realities of Disney car camping, including setup, comfort, requesting the perfect campsite near the comfort station, nighttime campground vibes, and whether we'd actually do it again. Along the way, we packed in a ton of attractions across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, including Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, TRON, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and more. Of course, there's also plenty of food discussion, including breakfast at Steakhouse 71, drinks and snacks at The Beak and Barrel, flatbreads at Baseline Tap House, dinner at Trail's End Restaurant, and an impromptu brunch stop at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' before heading home. We'll break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this entire Disney weekend adventure was truly worth it. Watch our car camping "room" tour here!

Cheri talks about growing up in a rough house with a lot of kids and a young mom and pretending to escape and maybe grab some attention. She talks about imitating TV shows, soap operas and Joe Cocker. She talks about moving from Pennsylvania to California to pursue dreams of acting after a break-up and found herself in the heart of Panorama City nowhere near Hollywood. Later she found early success in LA @ A&M RECORDS. In fact she was so successful it was a little hard to give it up when it was time to start performing full time after she became a star at THE GROUNDLINGS. She talks about how her writing at The Groundlings helped her at SNL. How Laraine Newman was always encouraging even while breast feeding. How Matt Piedmont and Will Ferril were great writing partners. How sitcoms are pure fun. And how making charcuterie boards with vaguely dirty names is going to change the world for the better. Bio: Cheri Oteri was born in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia and later moved to LA, where she worked in promotions for A&M Records. She joined the Groundlings, and in 1995, the producers of Saturday Night Live saw one of her monologues, which led to an audition and eventually being hired as a cast member, where she starred for five seasons. As of late, Cheri can be seen recurring on Happy's Place for NBC, Mid Century Modern for HULU as well as in And Just Like That… for MAX. She has also appeared in several films, including Scary Movie, Inspector Gadget, Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumberer,Shrek the Third, Southland Tales, and Grown Ups 2. In 2009, Oteri became a regular voice on Fox's animated comedy series Sit Down, Shut Up, which later moved to Comedy Central. She also voiced “Esther” on Disney's Puppy Dog Pals. Cheri has made multiple guest appearances on sitcoms such as The CW's My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, TruTV's Those Who Can't, NBC's Just Shoot Me! (in which she was nominated for an Emmy), Hot in Cleveland, and as an emotionally unstable nanny on the Golden Globe and Emmy award winning series Curb Your Enthusiasm. She has appeared multiple times on CNN's New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
On April 7th, at 12:30 a.m. in a massive warehouse in Ontario, California, a worker lights pallets on fire. The result? $500–$600 million in damages and a reflection of a much bigger story, one that isn't just about one individual, but about how our workplaces are failing employees. I walk through this shocking incident to uncover the systemic pressures that drive workplace rage.The truth is, this isn't isolated. From Amazon to Disney contractors, poor pay, unsafe conditions, and layers of corporate shields create a workforce that's physically present but mentally checked out. Studies show employee engagement is plummeting, confidence is collapsing, and the gap between leadership perception and reality is dangerously wide. The Kimberly-Clark fire is a symptom of a system that ignores the human cost of labor.We also explore history to understand the present. From the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to today, patterns emerge: when workers have no voice, tensions escalate.Job loss isn't just financial, it's deeply psychological. And corporations need to act before the next flashpoint.In This Episode:- Ontario warehouse fire overview and costs- Economic and labor context driving worker anger- Gallup report: collapse in worker confidence- Disparity between CEO awareness and workforce sentiment- Historical parallel: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire- Modern labor conditions and subcontractor complexities- Psychological impact of unemployment and layoffs- Lessons for workers and corporate leadersAnd much more!Resources:-Get Corporate-level Health Coverage for Solopreneurs with a 50% Discount for First Three Months - https://essentlcreator.com/maureen-Video of the warehouse worker setting fire - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DW5Lbj6DiRW/-Video shows someone intentionally setting fires at Ontario warehouse - https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/ontario-warehouse-fire-video/3873376/-Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire - https://www.history.com/articles/triangle-shirtwaist-fire-Luigi Mangione Charged with the Stalking and Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson - https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/luigi-mangione-charged-stalking-and-murder-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-and-use-‘Get back to work': Amazon faces fresh scrutiny over workplace safety record - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/22/amazon-workplace-safety-record-Gallup's 2026 State of the Global Workplace Report: Global Employee Engagement Continues Decline - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/708071/global-employee-engagement-continues-decline.aspx-Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Report: CEO Insomnia Index: What (and Who) Is Keeping CEOs Up at Night - https://web-assets.bcg.com/2b/7c/2484f99045e58979f1d4dfd9571d/ceo-insomnia-index-apr-2026.pdfConnect with Maureen Wiley Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @maureenwclough - https://www.instagram.com/maureenwclough-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1Affiliate Disclaimer:Hey there!

What happens when success becomes a performance of survival instead of a reflection of alignment? Gina Cavalier joins Amy for a deeply vulnerable conversation about workplace burnout, emotional masking, suicidal ideation, nervous system overwhelm, and the hidden cost of carrying unresolved trauma into high-pressure professional environments. After years working inside demanding entertainment industry spaces with Warner Brothers, Disney, Fox, and Netflix, Gina began recognizing how achievement, perfectionism, and emotional suppression were disconnecting her from herself. Together they explore executive presence, energetic awareness, self-love, grounding practices, leadership identity, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from constantly “holding it together.” The conversation moves through healing, regulation, creativity, self-worth, and the possibility of creating a life rooted less in survival and more in freedom. By the end, what emerges is a powerful reminder: healing changes not only how we feel, but how we lead, connect, and move through the world.Moments That Create Momentum:The Hidden Cost of Holding It Together – Explore how emotional masking and unresolved trauma silently shape burnout, leadership, and workplace performance.Executive Presence Starts With Nervous System Safety – Gina reframes confidence and leadership presence through grounding, regulation, and energetic awareness instead of performance.Why High Achievers Feel Emotionally Exhausted – Discover how perfectionism, pressure, and hyper-independence disconnect people from joy, creativity, and self-worth.Healing Beyond Traditional Recovery Models – Learn how movement, meditation, grounding practices, music, and energetic tools became part of Gina's personal healing process.The Workplace Energy Shift Leaders Often Miss – Hear how emotional presence, listening, and energetic awareness change the way teams collaborate and communicate.Self-Love as a Leadership Practice – Gina shares the internal shift that helped her stop speaking to herself through shame, fear, and emotional survival.Why Caregivers Need Support Too – The conversation explores burnout, emotional depletion, and the importance of allowing others to show up for you.Freedom Beyond Achievement – Reflect on what it means to build a life rooted not in pressure and survival, but in emotional freedom and self-trust.About the Guest:Gina Cavalier is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and former executive at Warner Bros.. She is the author of Planet Walking: A Handbook for the Living and co-author of Surviving Suicidal Ideation: From Therapy to Spirituality and the Lived Experience.

What if the future of urban transportation isn't more roads, more trains, or even flying cars—but an on-demand network of autonomous vehicles gliding above traffic? In Episode 168 of the Agents of Innovation Podcast, host Francisco Gonzalez sits down with Jeral Poskey, Founder & CEO of Swyft Cities, to discuss a revolutionary approach to urban mobility that could transform how people move through cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and beyond. A former transportation executive at Google with degrees from the Stanford University and the University of Texas at Austin, Poskey explains why traditional solutions—including additional road lanes, autonomous cars, subways, and flying vehicles—may not solve growing congestion challenges. Instead, Swyft Cities has developed "Whoosh," a network of autonomous cable-guided vehicles that travel above traffic, allowing passengers to take nonstop, on-demand trips between destinations. The conversation explores how this technology works, its potential applications in South Florida, the economics of transportation infrastructure, environmental benefits, real-estate integration, and why Miami could become one of the world's premier demonstration sites for next-generation urban mobility. Francisco also draws connections to Henry Flagler's transformational infrastructure investments in Florida and discusses how innovative transportation solutions can support economic mobility and quality of life for residents. Topics include: * The limitations of autonomous vehicles and flying cars * How Swyft Cities' "Whoosh" system works * Why Miami and South Florida are ideal testing grounds * Transportation infrastructure costs and scalability * Real estate development opportunities * Environmental and quality-of-life benefits * The future of mobility in growing metropolitan regions * Current projects in California, New Zealand, and beyond Learn more about Swyft Cities: https://swyftcities.com Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/v6dOc0w1Nq8 Subscribe for more conversations with entrepreneurs, innovators, philanthropists, and artists who are shaping the future.

“She planted so much evidence in that car” - On January 17th, 2008, at 3:30 PM, a worried husband calls police to report his wife, Denise Lee, missing after he finds their two young kids alone in their North Port Florida home. Less than 3 hours later, at 6:13 PM, a 911 dispatcher receives a call from Denise herself, who's stolen her kidnapper's phone and is disguising her call as a conversation with her abductor. But, before cops can do anything, the call abruptly ends. Denise's father, Rick Goff, jumps into action. As a seasoned cop, he will do everything in his power to track down his daughter, and Denise will use every bit of her courage and intelligence to leave clues behind in a race against the clock to ultimately bring a killer to justice.

I've been following Jessica for quite some time from the lead up to launch of her Star Wars podcast, Rebellion of Hope. We finally were able to get together and I could host her on my podcast. We kick things off by decidely NOT talking about Star Wars, as we talk about Avatar: The Last Airbender. We mainly stay in the animated series realm, as we talk about how Jessica got into Avatar, favorite characters, what kind of bender she'd be, and the connection between this show and Star Wars media for her. Then, we travel to a fandom from a galaxy far, far away. We spend a lot of time talking about Star Wars. From how Jessica got into Star Wars, how it got her through tough times in life, and getting into the fandom more and more. We talk about a lot of the media, from Clone Wars, to the Mandalorian, The Acolyte, and more. We discuss the EU/Legends, and Disney's decision to move into their own choices with the Star Wars universe. We also talk about her Star Wars podcast, Rebellion of Hope, and what she has done/is doing as a positive voice in the Star Wars fandom. We also talk about Star Wars conventions, panels, and so much more. We also talk about Jessica's desire to strike out on her own and starting her own business, Asteria Outpost. You'll hear the background behind that, what Jessica does to source the items she sells for her brand, and being an entrepreneur in these times.

Operation Tidal Wave was a coordinated federal action in which CBP and HSI agents boarded eight cruise ships docked in San Diego and detained 27 crew members allegedly connected to CSAM — child sexual abuse material — based on intelligence provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Agents had identified targets before the vessels arrived. Ten reportedly served aboard the Disney Magic. Four were employed by Holland America. All 27 were deported within approximately two weeks. KPBS confirmed that as of their reporting, federal prosecutors in both the Southern District of California and the Central District of California had no record of charges filed against any of the detained crew.The absence of prosecution raises a procedural question with systemic implications: if deportation without criminal proceedings is the default federal response, no public record is created, no registry entry is generated, and no mechanism exists to prevent the same individuals from being rehired through the same third-party agencies that placed them originally.The prosecuted cases across the industry illustrate what the screening system is failing to catch. A Royal Caribbean cabin attendant was sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to placing hidden recording devices in passenger cabins — families with passengers as young as two were among those secretly recorded. A Celebrity Cruises youth program counselor allegedly went undetected for four months while deliberately avoiding security cameras, according to an FBI affidavit. A 6-year-old passenger was the one who reported it. Two Princess Cruises employees received a combined 45 years for pursuing a teenager and exchanging illegal material involving very young children. Three crew members were charged aboard the same Disney vessel within a two-month window.Cruise Law News reports approximately 200 crew accused within roughly two years. Federal court filings and DOJ records document the same structural pattern across Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Holland America: international hiring through third-party staffing agencies with limited background verification and no industry-wide shared registry.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Federal agents had names before the ships docked. Operation Tidal Wave targeted 27 crew members across eight cruise ships in San Diego based on intelligence from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. CBP and HSI coordinated the boarding. Every one of the 27 was detained. Every one was deported. Not a single charge was filed. KPBS confirmed federal prosecutors in both San Diego and Los Angeles had no record of prosecution as of their reporting. One passenger on the Disney Magic watched her family's dining host get taken away in handcuffs, still in his blazer, forty-five minutes after serving them breakfast.Disney's response was a zero-tolerance statement. What went unaddressed is the screening pipeline — how these individuals were hired, vetted, and placed on ships carrying families. Ten of the 27 reportedly worked on the Disney Magic alone. Four came from Holland America.That gap in the system isn't isolated. Federal court filings and FBI affidavits document a pattern spanning every major cruise line. A Royal Caribbean attendant was sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to placing hidden devices in passenger cabins to secretly record families — including passengers as young as two. A Celebrity kids' club counselor allegedly went undetected for four months while deliberately avoiding ship cameras, according to the FBI. A 6-year-old was the one who reported it. Two Princess crew members received a combined 45 years after pursuing a teenager and exchanging illegal content involving very young children. Three crew were charged on the same Disney ship within two months. According to Cruise Law News, nearly 200 crew have been accused in approximately two years. The connecting thread is structural: international crew hired through third-party agencies with limited screening, no shared offender registry, and identical corporate language from every company named.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A mother on the Disney Magic watched her family's personal dining host get loaded into a white van in handcuffs — still in his blazer — forty-five minutes after he served them breakfast. For two weeks, the public assumed it was an immigration sweep. It was not.Operation Tidal Wave was a coordinated federal action. CBP and HSI boarded eight ships docked in San Diego and detained 27 crew members allegedly connected to CSAM, based on intelligence from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Agents had names before the ships arrived. Ten reportedly worked on the Disney Magic. Four came from Holland America. All 27 were deported. KPBS confirmed that no charges were filed by federal prosecutors in San Diego or Los Angeles as of their reporting. Every one of them left the country without facing a courtroom.The behavioral question is what that pattern enables. If detention and deportation is the endpoint — no prosecution, no public record, no registry — then the system that failed to screen these individuals also fails to track them once they're gone. And the cases that did reach prosecution tell you what's at stake. A Royal Caribbean attendant sentenced to 30 years for secretly recording families in their cabins — passengers as young as two. A Celebrity kids' club counselor who allegedly avoided cameras for four months until a 6-year-old reported it. Two Princess employees sentenced to a combined 45 years. Three crew charged on the same Disney ship in two months.According to Cruise Law News, nearly 200 crew have been accused in approximately two years. Federal filings expose the same structural failure across Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Holland America: third-party hiring agencies, limited screening, no shared registry. The corporate response from every line is identical — and the system remains unchanged.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
