Podcasts about distortions

In this live ROCD Q&A, I take you into the battleground of relationship OCD and anxiety, especially when it comes to relationship intimacy and commitment. I address intrusive thoughts, especially for sensitive ROCD strugglers who deeply care about God's will, purity and honoring biblical truth, but are struggling with distortions on how they relate to those areas. I talk […]

What really happens when we scream, growl, or add distortion to the voice—and can it actually be done safely? In this episode, we chat with vocologist, singer, voice teacher, and PhD candidate Geddy Warner to explore the science and artistry behind vocal distortion. We discuss the anatomy involved, common misconceptions, how distortion is learned and maintained, and what current research is teaching us about these unique vocal techniques. Whether you're a singer looking to expand your sound, a voice clinician interested in the latest evidence, or simply fascinated by the incredible versatility of the human voice, this episode offers an inside look at one of the most misunderstood aspects of vocal production.

Hamish breaks down where the name Godthrymm comes from, what "divine might" actually means, and why almost nobody pronounces it correctly on the first try. He previews the band's new album Projections, releasing May 29th on Profound Lore Records — the third and final chapter of a thematic trilogy that started with Reflections looking at the past and Distortions exploring contrast, with Projections turning the lens forward into the future through wide-ranging emotional and musical influences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Distortions of Global Wealth Taxes. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. De Rugy discusses how the UK's tax system discourages international athletes from competing at Wimbledon by taxing their worldwide endorsements.

Eden makes Peter watch the 1994–95 OVA You're Under Arrest, a four-episode anime about two traffic cops in Tokyo. Peter goes in skeptical but comes out admitting it was fun, charming, and visually stunning. The siblings unpack what makes 90s hand-drawn animation special, how the direct-to-video OVA format enabled lavish production values, and why the 2017 revival is a cautionary tale in digital downgrades. Plus: Peter wraps up Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8, Eden makes a pilgrimage to giant troll sculptures in Iowa, a hotel bed that doesn't suck, and Peter's genuine enthusiasm for the new I Built the Sky album.Show NotesYou're Under Arrest OVA (1994–95): A four-episode direct-to-video anime about traffic cops Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa at Bokuto Station in Tokyo. Despite the title, zero arrests occur across all four episodes — the show is closer to a workplace slice-of-life comedy. Created by Kōsuke Fujishima.The OVA format explained: Original Video Animation — direct-to-video releases that bypassed broadcast TV. In the 90s, OVAs were often more lavish than TV anime because VHS tapes sold for $40–$70 per episode, guaranteeing ROI. OVAs also had fewer content restrictions than broadcast — though You're Under Arrest stays remarkably tame.Kōsuke Fujishima's broader work: Beyond You're Under Arrest, Fujishima created Oh My Goddess! and served as lead character designer for multiple Tales games, including Tales of Phantasia, Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, and Berseria.The infamous "silly goose" meme: Eden discovered that a reaction image she's been seeing online for 20 years — a character sticking out her tongue with hands on her head — originates from You're Under Arrest (character Yoriko in episode 3).English dub vs. subtitles: Peter found the English dub surprisingly good — the dialogue was looser and more entertaining than the literal subtitle translations. Eden watched subbed. Peter says the dub actually improved the experience for a light show like this.The 2017 revival: Eden showed Peter the opening to the 2017 You're Under Arrest series — cheap digital animation, worse music, and gratuitous bikini volleyball shots. A textbook example of how 90s hand-drawn cel animation aged better than early digipaint.Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles: Peter finished it. Covers floors 10 and 11 — down to 23 crawlers alive from an initial ~2 million. Bleak but sets up the final book. Peter's verdict: good, but he mainlined too many DCC books in a row and needs a break.Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam: Peter's next read — a debut fantasy novel from a book influencer he follows. A one-off palate cleanser before diving into Discworld.Forza Horizon 6: Set in Japan, released May 2026. Peter earned his legendary gold wristband. Won the Titan (14.4-mile cross-country race) in a Koenigsegg but hasn't cracked the 54-mile Goliath loop yet.I Built the Sky — Promise Me You'll Thrive: Solo guitarist Rohan Stevenson's latest. Instrumental, joyful, heavy in places. Peter's been listening on repeat since it came out and calls it "next level" — it made him love guitar-centric instrumental music again.Evergrey — Architects of a New Weave: The Swedish progressive metal band's 15th album, out June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records. Peter describes them as melancholy progressive power metal — never cheesy. Tom Englund's voice "could sing the Hallelujah chorus and you'd still be like, this is so sad."Godthrymm — Projections (2026): British doom metal, third album via Profound Lore. Pulls from the My Dying Bride vein — former MDB vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe guests on a track. (Peter refers to their 2020 debut Reflections and 2023 follow-up Distortions.)The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 16: Eden devoured it in a day and a half. Their endorsement: "You want something fun and simple and light and still intriguing? Apothecary Diaries is it."Thomas Dambo trolls in Clinton, Iowa: Danish artist Thomas Dambo builds giant recycled-material troll sculptures worldwide. Clinton has three prominent trolls plus a fourth hidden in a park — the extra one exists because locals were so helpful Dambo had spare time.Moxy Hotels: Marriott's quirky sub-brand. No check-in counter — the bartender handles it with a complimentary drink. Rooms include a guitar and amp. Bedtime stories available by phone. Eden declares the bed the most comfortable hotel bed they've ever slept in.The Lodi Pencil Sharpening: The 5th annual sharpening of a giant pencil at Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. Happened Saturday, June 6, 2026. Eden and Cassi attended for the second year.PowerWash Simulator 2: Eden's catharsis game of choice. Currently 71% through a very large barn.The Batman (2022): Eden rewatched it at the hotel. Still great, still too long — three hours, with "a whole fifth act that didn't need to be there." Cassi fell asleep. The bed was comfortable, so it balanced out.

KPMG's Diane Swonk makes the case for two rate hikes this year. The Iran war could make for an acrimonious meeting between President Trump and China's Xi next week.

We've seen optical illusions… mirages… people thinking they look good in skinny jeans. But nothing compares to the mental gymnastics of a committed Leftist. These folks could look at a burning building and say, “Well, historically, fire has been the victim of massive discrimination and marginalized…”Which brings me to today's case study… my muse, if you will… George Conway.Now here's a man who has turned anti-Trump obsession into a full-time personality. Not a hobby. Not a phase. A personality. Some people collect stamps. This guy collects grievances.I saw him in an interview… visibly emotional… in tears… not because he was so moved by Joe Biden. [SEGMENT 1-2] Distorted Democrats 2Before we get to Conway, know that a sitting Senator, Chris Murphy OPENLY rooted for Iran.An X post reported that 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels slipped past the blockade and Murphy responded with AWESOME.I will show you how this is directly related to George Conway in just a bit…[X] SB – George ConwayBiden Victory Fund. Driving to my friend's house.I'm the headline spokesperson…Reasonable amount of money.And then he tells this story about being asked to donate to Biden. Says he struggled with how much to give… really agonized over it… pacing the floor, staring at the ceiling, probably lighting candles like he's summoning a financial spirit guide.How much should I give. Headline spokesperson. A lot. A reasonable amount.Legal max?And then… he gives the max. Nearly a million dollars.A million. Dollars.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And that's the doorway into today's theme: dismissing distortions. Not just correcting them, not just debating them, but dragging them into the sunlight like a raccoon that's been living too comfortably in the attic of American politics.Because those 51 experts weren't an anomaly. They were a prototype. A beta test of how confidently wrong you can be if your job depends on staying wrong.Think about it. We were told elections are secure. Not “mostly secure,” not “pretty solid,” but Fort Knox with ballots. Meanwhile, more than half the country watched vote counts behave like they were powered by a Ouija board. Numbers going up, then down, then sideways like they were trying to escape the spreadsheet. You don't need a cybersecurity degree to know something's off when arithmetic starts acting like interpretive dance.Now layer this: pollsters. These folks operate like fortune tellers who only predict yesterday. “It's a tight race,” they say. Always tight. Always razor thin. You ever notice that? According to them, every election is decided by a butterfly landing on a ballot in Wisconsin. Yet somehow, they never predict the political equivalent of a thunderclap, like 2016, when the entire system blinked and suddenly realized it had been narrating a different movie.Donald Trump didn't just win that election. He detonated a narrative. The so-called cabal, the machine, whatever label you want to use, had been humming along for decades, and suddenly somebody unplugged it mid-sentence. And the reaction wasn't curiosity. It was panic dressed up as analysis.Here's a provocative thought: if the system was always honest, why did it react to 2016 like a casino discovering someone counted cards?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats like to put a number on their lies.Somewhere along the line, we were taught to stop asking whether these people actually knew anything, and instead just trusted the lanyard around their neck like it came with divine certification. Democrats love to put numbers with their lies…Fifty-one intelligence experts told us a laptop wasn't real. Not “we're not sure,” not “still investigating,” but full-throated, choir-level certainty. 130 climate scientists12 former generalsAnd that's the doorway into today's theme: dismissing distortions.

In Episode 4 of MAHA Living, Jordan Sather shifts gears into a whiteboard deep dive on movement, posture, and the foundational principles of biomechanics. Prompted by viewer questions about back pain and improper exercise programming, Jordan explains how poor movement patterns, prolonged sitting, and modern habits contribute to joint pain, muscular imbalances, and long-term dysfunction. He breaks down the physics of joint movement, the “yin-yang” relationship between tight and weak muscles, and the concept of the instantaneous axis of rotation. From forward head posture and rounded shoulders to anterior pelvic tilt and upper and lower cross syndromes, Jordan outlines common distortion patterns and the muscle groups typically involved. The episode also covers practical self-assessments like the plumb line test, along with corrective strategies including prone cobra holds, planks, eccentric hamstring loading, and proper deadlifting mechanics. Emphasizing a holistic view of health beyond food and chemicals, Jordan connects posture to blood flow, nerve signaling, breathing, and overall vitality.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes William Rhind to the show. William is the Founder and CEO of GraniteShares. Rhind provides insights into the current market landscape, emphasizing the early stages of AI development and the potential for significant transformation across various sectors. Regarding market volatility, Rhind attributes recent fluctuations to multiple factors, including potential Federal Reserve leadership changes, cryptocurrency market movements, and concerns about AI’s impact on software companies. He argues that we are in the early stages of AI development, with significant potential for innovation and disruption across industries. Rhind highlights the ongoing bull market for hard assets, driven by global economic uncertainties, central bank buying, and concerns about currency debasement. He notes that emerging market central banks are actively diversifying their reserves by purchasing gold, viewing it as a strategic hedge against paper currencies. Platinum receives special attention, with Rhind explaining its unique market dynamics. He points out that platinum is about 30 times rarer than gold and currently sits in a market deficit. The metal’s future looks promising, particularly as previous bearish sentiment around internal combustion engines has dissipated and industrial demand remains strong. Rhind suggests that while passive investing has benefits, too much concentration can potentially create market inefficiencies. He advocates for a “core and satellite” approach to investing, balancing long-term retirement strategies with more speculative investments.

As a 18-year veteran of the ETF industry with experience working at, building and running, well-established successful ETF businesses, he made a keen observation: investing just isn't as exciting as it once was. He asked himself, how do you bring back that excitement? As an experienced entrepreneur, he decided to answer that question by launching his own ETF company – GraniteShares was born. Will's focus on disrupting the financial industry has taken GraniteShares from an idea to a successful start-up garnering the attention of Bain Capital and other well-known ETF investors who support his passion to create products that will change the way people see investing. Will spends his time outside of GraniteShares with his wife and three children. He's on the Board of Directors of the Bath University Foundation, has a passion for classic cars, Manchester United, and travel – especially back to his roots in Aberdeen, Scotland, “The Granite City.” Will has over 25 years of experience in the industry.

Live Work with Madeleine I'm Helpless! Part 2 of 3 Today, we are pleased to present the exciting conclusion of our work with Madeleine, a loving mother who fears that her eldest daughter might be in mortal danger during her year abroad. Last week, you heard about the T = Testing and E = Empathy phase of the live work with Madeleine, a mother feeling intense panic and helplessness and inadequacy because she fears that her daughter could be in grave danger of abduction and worse. This week, we will focus on A = Paradoxical Agenda Setting, using the Miracle Cure Question, Magic Button, Positive Reframing, and Magic Dial to see if we can melt away her resistance to change. You can see the Emotions table of the Daily Mood Log Madeleine during the Magic Dial portion of the session if you Click Here As you can see, she wanted to reduce her negative feelings somewhat, but thought she still wanted to keep them fairly elevated, since she still sensed that her daughter might be in real danger, and clearly did not want to abandon her. This is one of the significant refinements in TEAM CBT. First, we want to bring the patient's resistance to full conscious awareness. Second, we want patients to full grasp that their negative thoughts and feelings do NOT result from some "defect" or "mental disorder," but rather from what is most beautiful and awesome about them as human beings. After the Magic Button, David and Jill went on to the final, M = Methods portion of the TEAM session, using tools such as Identify and Explain the Distortions, the Double Standard Technique, and the Externalization of Voices, with the Acceptance Paradox, the Self-Defense Paradigm, and the CAT (Counter-Attack Technique). We will, of course, do numerous role reversals to see if we can get Madeleine to a "huge" victory over her many distorted thoughts. You can see the Daily Mood Log Madeleine prepared at the end of the session if you Click Here As you can see, the reductions in negative feelings were dramatic, but in several areas (anxiety, inadequacy, frustration and anger), Madeleine's negative feelings were still minimally elevated. That is one of the reasons we decided to schedule an additional session together several weeks later to see if we could intensify Madeleine's responses to her negative thoughts, and hopefully due some Cognitive Flooding to complete her "treatment." At the end of these show notes, you will find an email from Madeleine after the session that includes her end-of-session scores on the BMS and EOTS. You will also see comments submitted by many participants who attended the webinar live. This email below from Madeleine following the session shows her end of session scores on the Brief Mood Survey as well as the Evaluation of Therapy Session at the end of her session with Jill and David. Hi David, Yes, here are my BMS & ETS score totals after the extended session. Please let me know if you have any questions. A relapse prevention session would be nice; however, I hesitate to accept your offer as you all are so busy. Please know that I am practicing the PTs and keeping the NTs in check for now. Thank you again a million times over

3/4. Price Discovery, Trade Policy, and Government Market Distortions — Terry Anderson (Editor) — Andersondiscusses Timothy Fitzgerald's analysis demonstrating that border carbon adjustment mechanisms frequently disguise protectionist trade policies, aligning with the "bootleggers and Baptists" theoretical model. Anderson stresses that authentic price discovery in financial markets is absolutely crucial for effective climate adaptation. However, government intervention, including subsidized insurance programs for flood and crop losses, systematically distorts accurate price signals, preventing consumers from developing effective behavioral and economic adaptations to genuine environmental risks. 1905

PREVIEW — Malcolm Hoenlein — BBC reporting distortion in Gaza. Hoenlein documents persistent distortions in BBC coverage of Gaza, noting that reporting relies on information from Hamas operatives posing as journalists. The coverage consistently exaggerates casualty figures, frequently failing to clarify that many deceased were terrorists or died of natural causes. Despite systematic challenges and documented inaccuracies, the BBC continues this problematic practice, even though Hamas operates deliberately within civilian populations to attract military response.

What if disability isn't something to fix, but a way to see God and one another more clearly? Theologian John Swinton joins Amy Julia Becker to explore how our ideas of perfection, healing, and humanity can distort—or deepen—our understanding of the good life.

TEAM Trauma Treatment-- How Does It Work? And Why?  Featuring Dr. Jill Levitt Today's podcast features one of our favorite guests, Dr. Jill Levitt, who is one of the greatest psychology teachers on planet earth. We explore trauma, and how it is treated. We focus in particular on the unique features of trauma treatment using TEAM CBT. Jill is currently the Director of Training at the Feeling Good Institute in Mountain View, California, but she has had intensive training in trauma treatment beginning during her psychology internship at the Cornell Medical Center (? is this correct) in 200? (dates please Jill) and continuing until (date please.) She worked with adults survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse, as well as victims of the 2011 tragedy at the world trade center, which happened when she was working in New York. She got extra training from several outstanding experts in the treatment of trauma and anxiety, including the renown Dr. Edna Foa, from Temple University in Philadelphia, as well as (please list if you like, Jill!) Rhonda also has extensive experience in the treatment of trauma since she worked for (x years, please fill in) at th San Francisco Rape and Trauma Clinical. Rhonda emphasized the importance of shame and toxic but high irrational self-blame so often seen in trauma patients of all ages, including, of course, children. Jill and Rhonda emphasized the importance of the selective use of exposure techniques with trauma patients, and the unfortunate fear that many, and perhaps most, therapists have of these techniques, wrongly fearing that the patient will decompensate and that the therapist, too, will become overwhelmed when hearing the patient recount their horrific experiences in detail. I, David, will add that I've never had a negative experience with the use of exposure techniques, like cognitive flooding, memory rescripting, and many more with any trauma patients. However, I always do E = Empathy first, as well as A = Paradoxical Agenda Setting, to guarantee that the patient and I will be working together as a collaborative team. Rhonda asked us to talk a bit about "vicarious trauma" that the therapist might experience when working with trauma patients. Both Jill and David said they've never experienced this, and that only our thoughts, and not the experiences our patients describe, can upset us. We believe the concept of "vicarious trauma" is highly (but not intentionally) misleading and needlessly frightening to those working with trauma patients. Of course, if a therapist does become triggered when working with any patient, including a trauma patient, that is grist for the mill for the therapist to work out with their own therapist, using perhaps the Daily Mood Log to explore and challenge the therapist's upsetting negative thoughts. Perhaps the most important theme today focused on the treatment of trauma patients--as well as non-trauma patients--individually, using TEAM to pinpoint one moment the patient was upset, and exploring their negative thoughts and feelings with the help of the Daily Mood Log, as well as the other vitally important components of T E A M. I (David) do not place much stock in treating patients with "formulas" based on their "diagnosis" or problem. I did 20 or more two day trauma workshops around the US and Canada several years back, and treated a volunteer from the audience at each workshop on the evening of day 1, using a two-hour TEAM CBT session. In all or nearly all of these sessions, the individuals experienced a triumphant and blow-away elimination of all their negative feelings by the end of the demonstration. But here's the interesting thing: although I occasionally included cognitive exposure, it was perhaps the technique I used the least often with these individuals. Far more powerful for most were techniques like Explain the Distortions, the Paradoxical Double Standard Technique, and the Externalization of Voices. Sometime, an interpersonal technique, including the Five Secrets of Effective Communication, was helpful, even life-changing. If you are interested, you can read about those sessions in Chapter X in my most recent book, Feeling Great, as well as illustrations of the data from all the patients, showing the dramatic changes in negative and positive feelings from the start to the end of the sessions. Why did these individuals recover so dramatically and quickly--within a single session? I believe it was because I focused on what was upsetting THEM, and developing an agenda and selecting methods to focus on what they wanted. This, to my way of thinking, is different, even radically different, from imposing a pre-set agenda on patients simply because we think they have some type of trauma diagnosis. David described the three elements of an "abuse contract" between the abuser and the victim: I get to hurt or exploit you for my own pleasure. The Blame will be 100% on you. I am a blameless, superior god. We must keep this as a secret, even between us. If you violate this, I will hurt you very badly. Thanks for listening today! Jill, Rhonda, and David
