Brent Peterson sits down with Michelle Donnelly, Chief Revenue Officer at Crescendo, to explore how AI-native customer experience solutions are transforming the way brands interact with their customers. The conversation covers everything from autonomous digital agents to the critical role humans still play in customer support. Michelle brings a wealth of experience from her time at Salesforce and the AI chip industry, and she shares fascinating real-world examples of how Crescendo's approach is turning traditional cost centers into profit centers. If you care about customer experience, this episode deserves your full attention.Key TakeawaysAI agents must work seamlessly with human agents. A digital-only approach without a human fallback creates frustrating loops that drive customers away.Customer support is becoming a revenue channel. By combining personalization, memory, and business context, AI agents can turn a simple support interaction into an upsell opportunity.Speed to value matters. Crescendo deploys in under four weeks, a dramatic improvement over traditional SaaS implementations that can take months.Outcome-based pricing changes the game. Rather than selling seats, Crescendo charges based on outcomes, aligning their success with the customer's success.Multimodal interactions let customers choose. Whether through chat, voice, WhatsApp, or email, the customer decides how they want to engage, and the AI adapts accordingly.Quality assurance reveals powerful patterns. Analyzing interactions across the customer base surfaces product issues and opportunities that brands would otherwise miss.Knowledge bases improve over time. The AI learns from every interaction and actually enhances the brand's existing knowledge base rather than relying on static content.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Crescendo and Michelle's Journey03:53 The Role of AI in Customer Experience09:30 Seamless Integration of Digital and Human Agents15:02 Multimodal Customer Interactions18:52 Quality Assurance and Content Relevance22:26 Transforming Customer Support into Profit Centers28:22 Democratizing AI for All BusinessesConnect with Michelle on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelledonnelly/https://www.linkedin.com/company/crescendocx/
In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack sits down with Dr Grainne Donnelly to discuss her newly published textbook on pelvic health in sport, the journey of becoming an editor, and the evolving role of physiotherapists in advancing evidence-based care.Grainne reflects on the enormous challenge of leading a first-edition textbook while simultaneously balancing clinical work, research, teaching, and a PhD. Although initially hesitant to take on such a significant project, she describes how a leap of faith—and encouragement from those around her—led to a resource designed to fill a major gap in sports medicine literature.The conversation explores the growing recognition of pelvic health as a critical component of athletic performance and participation. Grainne discusses the need for better education across professions and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in addressing issues that have historically been under-recognised or poorly understood.A particularly interesting section focuses on her research into pelvic floor dysfunction, athletic performance, and the role of compression garments. While acknowledging the influence of confidence, perception, and reduced vulnerability on movement, Grainne also discusses emerging evidence suggesting measurable biomechanical effects, including improved shock attenuation and smoother running mechanics.Throughout the discussion, Jack highlights Grainne's rare ability to bridge clinical practice, research, education, and policy. The episode becomes a wider conversation about curiosity, scientific rigour, and the value of asking better questions rather than rushing to simple answers.Overall, this is an insightful discussion for clinicians interested in sports medicine, women's health, pelvic health, performance, and the future direction of physiotherapy research.
In this Film Ireland podcast, recorded live on location in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Irish Film Festival, Gemma Creagh speaks with filmmaker Dennis Harvey about his exciting documentary Útóipe Cheilteach / Celtic Utopia.Útóipe Cheilteach / Celtic Utopia screens this Saturday, 20th June, at the Oh Yeah Music Centre as part of Docs Ireland. https://docsireland.iePresented annually by Solas Nua, the 20th edition of the Capital Irish Film Festival takes place in March each year, showcasing one of the largest programmes of Irish cinema in North America.Docs Ireland runs until the 21st, celebrating the best of new international documentary filmmaking, showcasing the work of Ireland's indigenous non-fiction culture and creatives.Read more here: https://www.filmireland.net/podcast-filmmaker-dennis-harvey-on-utoipe-cheilteach-celtic-utopiaDennis HarveyDennis is a filmmaker from Ireland. He is best known for his short documentary The Building and Burning of a Refugee Camp (2024), which won the Swedish Academy Award for Best Short Film, was selected by the French Academy of Cinema as one of the Best Short Films of 2024, and received many other awards. Dennis mainly writes and directs documentaries, but has also produced and edited his own films. His first feature, I Must Away (2023), was a kaleidoscopic essay about movement filmed over seven years in six countries. His latest short, The New Policy Regarding Homeless Asylum Seekers (2025), is an uncompromising interrogation of Ireland's inhuman asylum system and a dedication to those resisting it. His second feature, Útóipe Cheilteach (2025), a ballad tour through postcolonial Ireland, premiered at Locarno. With a cinema vérité approach and a particular sensitivity to the human, Dennis' work interrogates the political through the personal. He is a member of the European Film Academy. He is a member of Noncitizen, a film collective which works to hand over the means of making films to migrants.Útóipe Cheilteach / Celtic UtopiaWhat do we do with the violent history we've inherited? Do we accept a repressive culture as is, or do we reshape it in our own image? In a world where oppression, occupation and war have become ambient, Útóipe Cheilteach plays at a different frequency, where hope is possible and a brighter future may be realised. Featuring music from artists including The Mary Wallopers, Poor Creature and Lankum, Celtic Utopia tells the story of a new Ireland and its vibrant music scene, but also that of a post-colonial society wrestling with its heritage. A society where folk music carries both the oppression of the past and the dream of a bright future. The Irish folk music renaissance sees artists coming from punk, hip-hop, and beyond, rediscovering an ancient tradition and taking it in unexpected directions.

Author and meteorologist Joanna Donnelly was out cycling when she became the target of one bus drivers road rage. She had joined Andrea to talk about it.
Stand-Up to RacismThe bullet holes from the August 1969 sectarian pogrom against the people of the Falls area are still visible on the front wall of St. Comgall's Primary School, Divis Street. Last Thursday lunchtime, a few yards from where, on that occasion, whole terraces of houses were burned out, scores of community activists from across Belfast came together in Ionad Eileen Howell to discuss another pogrom. This time the pogrom was rooted in violent racism.In the days before families and workers from the various ethnic groups, who now make up an important and valued part of our society, were attacked, threatened, and some were forcibly evicted from their homes. In harrowing scenes cars and some homes were destroyed as masked thugs roamed the streets of parts of Belfast, Portadown and Glengormley attacking the PSNI and the homes of our neighbours. Terrified children fled with their parents.Health workers were especially targeted. There was a clear attempt to intimidate many from their jobs. In addition, schools were closed. People were sent home from work. Public transport stopped.The Community Groups at the meeting in Ionad Eileen Howell described how they had helped relocate evicted families, worked with Belfast City Council to ensure that emergency accommodation was available, established a co-ordination and response group and had activists on the streets to defuse any attempt by right wing elements to stoke up further attacks. From the GAA and individual citizens there was widespread opposition to the racism. First Minister Michelle O'Neill met community representatives, youth workers and ethnic minority communities. She visited health staff in the Mater Hospital who had been threatened. She expressed her unambiguous solidarity and support for them.Belfast Ard Mheara Councillor Róis Máire Donnelly, who received death threats for standing up to the racists, refused to be silent. Last Friday she addressed a local anti-racism rally and the next day she spoke to the thousands who attended the massive anti-racist demonstration at the City Hall. Róis Máire told the crowd that Belfast is “stronger” because of our diversity. And she described Belfast people as “resilient, compassionate and welcoming.”She is right on both counts. Diversity is a strength, not a weakness. And notwithstanding the naysayers and begrudgers Belfast is welcoming city that embraces our ethnic minority citizens. Momentum Building Around UnityThere are those who dismiss any possibility in the next few years of holding the unity referendums provided for in the Good Friday Agreement. Foremost among them is Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin who obstinately refuses to countenance any preparation for unity.However, his partner in Government, Fine Gael leader Simon Harris clearly doesn't agree. At the weekend he announced that his party is planning to develop and publish a blueprint for a united Ireland by their Ard Fheis in November. That is good news. Harris's statement of intent coincides with Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald's introduction this week in the Dáil of a Private Members Bill that will compel the Taoiseach to begin the planning and preparation for constitutional change and Irish Unity. The ‘Planning for Constitutional Change Bill 2026' will require the Taoiseach to institutionalise preparation and publish a Green Paper. This will facilitate consultation and encourage a national public debate as a first step before formal government legislation is established. The Green Paper will require the government setting out its ideas, vision and proposals on the economy, education, health, justice and the legal system and future governance arrangements. Seeking the Truth: Pat FinucaneAfter 37 years the inquiry into the murder of human rights lawyer Pat Finucane has finally opened. Pat's wife Geraldine, his children John, Michael and Katherine and his dedicated family circle and legal team are to be commended for their diligence and steadfastness in pursuing the truth about Pat's murder.Successive British governments have lied, prevaricated, distracted, delayed and made every effort to prevent an inquiry from happening. Why? Because the extent of British state collusion with the UDA in his murder has the potential of laying responsibility for his death with senior political figures within the British Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher.That there was collusion in his murder and that of hundreds more, is not in doubt. But who was responsible? Who gave the orders? Who plotted and schemed to have Pat killed on 12 February 1989? Who knew what within the RUC; within RUC Special Branch; within MI5; the Force Reconnaissance Unit (FRU); British Army; and the British Cabinet?

Film Ireland, supported by the Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland Stakeholders Fund, are delighted to present Out of the Box, the first in a six-part podcast series exploring different perspectives in media today.Hosted by writer and filmmaker Róisín Kearney, each episode features conversations with people paving the way for greater equity and inclusion in the screen industries. Together, they discuss what has worked so far, what still needs to be done, and how we can all ensure that all creative voices are properly heard.For the inaugural discussion, Róisín sits down with Paul FitzSimons, a writer, musician and producer who founded Prelude Content to create high-end film and television drama; and Dan Airey, presenter, producer, filmmaker and one half of the award-winning podcast duo behind Dan and Darragh Do Ability. Out of the BoxMedia has always played a powerful role in shaping society. When public health campaigns in the United States sought to promote the idea of a designated driver and reduce road deaths among young men, they turned to popular television shows such as Cheers, L.A. Law and The Cosby Show to help shift public attitudes. Since its inception, media has influenced how we see the world...and each other.So what happens when that media does not reflect the full breadth of society? What happens when people are told which stories they can tell, who they can tell them about, or how those stories should be told? There have been countless studies examining how marginalised communities are perceived by wider society, but far fewer exploring how people from those communities perceive society itself. This series seeks to contribute to that conversation, placing those perspectives front and centre.Paul FitzSimonsPaul is a producer, screenwriter and tutor with 15 years' experience in the film industry. He runs Prelude Content, producing films and TV dramas, working with creatives in Ireland, the UK, Spain and Japan. He recently produced feature film Verdigris, which premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh, won awards at festivals around the world, was nominated for five IFTA awards and was released in April 2025. Paul is now producing the comedy series Starless and developing a number of features and TV dramas.He has a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Producing from TU Dublin and is an EAVE Producers' Workshop graduate. Paul was previously Development Executive at production company Danú Media. He also wrote and produced the feature film The Gift (2017, OC Productions, 15A) and worked as a story writer on the Irish TV drama Fair City. Dan Airey Dan Airey is a presenter, podcaster, producer and filmmaker. He is the co-producer and co-presenter of the award-winning Dan and Darragh Do Ability Podcast, which features conversations with people with disabilities, encouraging listeners to see the world through different perspectives.

This podcast with Roís- Máire was recorded shortly after the horrific stabbing incident in North Belfast and before the racist pogroms which followed. It was also before the PSNI warned the Belfast Ard Mheara that her life was in danger. It has been a difficult week especially for those citizens evicted from their homes. We stand in solidarity with them. Racism is the first cousin of sectarianism. The majority of people are opposed to both these negative evils. Elon Musk and others who support these despicible actions from afar should shut up. The good people who helped our neighbours are to be commended. Belfast says NO to racism.

Trump's oil revelation, ActBlue fraud, Róis-Máire Donnelly, Albert Mohler, and Jensen Huang headline today's A.M. Update. Trump drops a bombshell at a White House signing ceremony, revealing the U.S. military has been secretly siphoning millions of barrels of Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz every night — which is why prices are at $85 to $90 a barrel instead of $250, and why his "I love inflation" soundbite is going to be played on a loop. ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones pleads the fifth when Congressman Jim Jordan asks her point blank whether ActBlue has watered down its fraud standards to benefit Democrats, and Aaron says that answer tells you everything. New Belfast Lord Mayor Róis-Máire Donnelly, a Sinn Féin councillor who took office June 1st preaching diversity and inclusion, is now presiding over a city where mobs are burning buses and police cars in response to a Sudanese migrant's attempted beheading of a local man. Albert Mohler's male-pastor-only amendment to the Southern Baptist Convention constitution passes its first required two-thirds vote at 76%, and Aaron calls it the SBC course-correcting back toward orthodoxy. Aaron closes with Jensen Huang's task-versus-purpose argument for why AI elevates jobs rather than eliminating them, and the poll of the week results on who has done the most damage to college sports.

He is also the creator of the web series The Show About the Show and the writer/host of the podcast 365 Stories I Want To Tell You Before We Both Die.With Ulysses, New York, Zahedi attempts to do to Joyce's Ulysses what Joyce did to Homer's The Odyssey: transpose a canonical work into a new time, place and form. The events of 16 June 1904 in Dublin are reimagined as taking place on 16 June 2022 in New York City, on the centenary of the novel's publication. Following eight actors performing in a Bloomsday stage production of Ulysses, the film moves between Joyce's chapters onstage and the corresponding hours of the actors' real day. This special presentation features a work-in-progress version of the introductory episode, followed by a discussion with Zahedi on the challenges of adapting Joyce.Bloomsday Film FestivalIreland's most literary film festival was established as a celebration of cinema, literature, and artistic innovation, inspired by the far-reaching influence of Ireland's father of modernism, James Joyce. The festival is presented in partnership with the Bloomsday Festival and the James Joyce Centre, and runs from 11–16 June, with screenings hosted at the historic James Joyce Centre and the Irish Film Institute (IFI). Continuing its annual traditions, the festival marks the birthday of W.B. Yeats on 13 June with a curated programme of poetry and literature-inspired short films. On 14 June, in keeping with Joyce's radical and experimental spirit, the programme showcases a selection of innovative experimental films. The following day, 15 June, celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Dubliners with screenings of Joycean short films and adaptations of Dublin-based stories.Alongside its cinematic programme, the Bloomsday Film Festival presents a diverse range of events, including director Q&As, workshops, musical performances, and poetry readings. At its core, the festival is committed to fostering artistic innovation - championing filmmakers who forge their own paths and create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium, in the same pioneering spirit that defined Joyce's literary legacy.Check out the programme & get tickets at www.bloomsdayfestival.ie.Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M.

Oliver chats to Killian Donnelly who has been bringing the house down for Les Misérables in Dublin.
Unionism and the FutureLast week, at a meeting of the Executive the DUP chose to block the Good Jobs Bill. Why did they do this? The Bill will be good for all workers. It makes no distinction based on religion, politics, ethnicity or gender. Workers who vote unionist would benefit as much from this Bill as would workers who vote nationalist or for neither of these.The legislation, being proposed by Caoimhe Archibald, the Minister for the Economy, contains common sense measures making it easier for Trade Unions to represent workers; replace zero hour contracts; protect employees tips and gratuities; strengthen neonatal leave and pay; and improve paternity entitlements and redundancy protections for workers who are pregnant.The DUP claim they need more time to scrutinise the legislation but the place for that is on the floor of the Assembly where it can be debated and amended.The truth is that the DUP is opposed to equality Stop the GameIn his most recent comments on the two Ireland-Israel soccer internationals due to be played in September/October An Taoiseach Micheál Martin chooses to waffle and pass the buck to UEFA rather than take a principled stand and oppose the game. He says, ‘Ireland' does not want to be "self-defeating" – whatever than means - in its approach to the games.Martin claims, that while everyone knows the governments opposition to the actions of Israel – he avoids mentioning its disgraceful response to the Occupied Territories Bill – he says that “everything shouldn't be reduced to just one match.” Why not? Russia was banned by EUFA following its invasion of Ukraine. Israel has killed close to 100,000 people in Gaza and the west Bank; stolen Palestinian land and invaded its sovereign neighbour Lebanon. Why should it be treated differently? Róis-Máire Donnelly - A Ballymurphy Woman There was a time when younger people I used to bump into would say to me by way of introduction ‘You used to know my Mammy.' ‘Or my Daddy'. Nowadays they say to me; “You used to know my Granny.”That would have been over fifty years ago when Grannies and Granda's were young and well before the Grandparent stage. That's when I first met the late Mrs Donnelly, the Granny of our Ard Mheara Róis-Máire. It was in 1969/70. She was living in Westrock Drive off the Whiterock Road and then in Springhill Drive. Mrs Donnelly was a lovely woman. She was originally from McDonnell St. in the Falls area and lived for a time in Ballymacarrett in East Belfast before returning to the west of the city.As a young girl May had been one of hundreds of women who prayed outside Crumlin Road prison during the night and into the morning Tom Williams was hanged in September 1942. In the decades that followed, especially during the conflict following the pogroms of 1969, May was one of those Indomitable women in the greater Ballymurphy area who stood against the brutality, harassment and raids of the British Army.

He shares insights from his documentary, addressing the overwhelming information we receive about aging and health. David challenges the notion that living longer equates to living better. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of human connection, purpose, and quality of life. Amidst the science and stats, he reminds us that our daily choices impact our biological aging far more than we realize.As we explore these themes, it's crucial to remember: Loneliness can be just as harmful as poor diet.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1354: Today we talk about Mazda trying to define what the brand actually stands for, Ford battling yet another F-150 production headache while inventory stays tight, and Ferrari shocking enthusiasts with a futuristic $640k EV designed alongside former Apple design legend Jony Ive.Show Notes with links:Mazda's U.S. CEO says the brand's biggest challenge isn't product, pricing, or even tariffs—it's clarity. As Mazda pushes toward 500,000 annual U.S. sales, Tom Donnelly says dealers will play the starring role in making the brand more distinctive and desirable.Mazda has hovered around 400,000 U.S. sales for two years and believes stronger brand identity is the path to 500,000 units.Dealers were challenged to rethink customer experience with shorter processes, stronger relationships, and what Mazda calls a more “sticky” ownership experience.Donnelly emphasized affordability as a major opportunity, noting Mazda's average transaction price is around $39,000 compared to the industry average above $51,000.Tariffs, incentives, and shifting production have pressured profitability, but Mazda says strategic moves like shifting Mazda3 sedan production to Japan helped improve earnings.“If you walked out of this hotel and asked 10 people what Mazda stands for, you'd get 10 different answers. That is my keeps-me-up-at-night thing.” — Tom Donnelly, CEO of Mazda North American Operations.Ford finally started climbing out of its F-150 inventory hole after last year's aluminum supplier fire… and then a broken hood die shut the line down again. The pause may only last a few days, but when you're already 60,000 trucks behind, every hour matters.Ford paused F-150 production late last week after a hood die reportedly broke at a nearby stamping plant that forms the truck's aluminum hood panels.The Dearborn plant was expected to sit idle Thursday night through at least Saturday, with Memorial Day potentially stretching the shutdown to four days.With two 10-hour shifts running daily, the downtime could cost Ford roughly 2,500 trucks at a time when inventory is already down more than 40% year-over-year.Ford is reportedly considering “super Saturday” or “super Sunday” shifts to claw back lost production and keep dealers supplied heading into summer truck season.Ferrari officially pulled the cover off its first fully electric vehicle, the Luce, and let's just say… the internet has thoughts. Designed with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, the $640,000 EV swaps engine roar for amplified sound and tradition for experimentation.The Ferrari Luce is the brand's first EV and first-ever five-seat Ferrari, using four electric motors to hit 0–60 in under 2.5 seconds with a top speed above 190 mph.Ferrari partnered with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive, creating a glass-heavy, ultra-minimal interior meant to feel more “analog” than tech gadget.Ferrari says range wasn't the priority, with the Luce targeting about 330 miles despite its massive battery pack.Online reactions were… spicy. Many enthusiasts blasted the design for straying too far from Ferrari tradition, while Ferrari shares dropped roughly 6% after the reveal.“As a car becomes electric, it doesn't mean that it needs to be a consumer electronics object.” — Ferrari Chairman John ElkannJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

For decades, aging was seen as inevitable — a slow and irreversible decline. But a growing number of scientists now believe we may be entering a turning point, with research increasingly focused on extending not just how long we live, but how well we live.In the documentary Forever Young, filmmaker David Donnelly — alongside producers Dr. James Johnson and Dr. Thomas Lewis — explores the rapidly evolving world of longevity science, from biological clocks and AI-driven research to the power of lifestyle, purpose, and social connection.The film also confronts some of the field's biggest questions: what aging actually is, whether it should be treated as a disease, and who stands to benefit if the science succeeds. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Donnelly reflects on skepticism, scientific disagreement, and why he believes humanity may already be living through a longevity revolution.--Learn more about Forever Young: The end of aging has just begunApple TV Pre-order | Official Website | Substack | Instagram | X | Facebook | YouTube | Watch the Trailer--DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Then, Naemi is joined by director Fil Ieropoulos and writer Foivos Dousos to discuss Uchronia, a bold and visually expansive docu-essay inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's Une Saison en Enfer. The film follows the ghost of the French poet on a time-travelling journey through alternative histories, revolutionary politics and queer resistance.A Woman's Place Is Everywhere Identical twin sisters Emilija and Ona have lived in a rent-controlled warehouse loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for as long as they can remember. After the sudden death of their mother – a Lithuanian artist and dancer who first called the loft home in the 1970s – they find themselves on the brink of eviction. The neighbourhood has transformed; the landlord wants them out. Adding to the turmoil, Ona discovers she is pregnant. Fanny TexierThe documentary filmmaker was born in Paris, France and is now based in Brooklyn. She studied journalism at the University of Montreal and has a master's degree from the Sorbonne. As a feminist director, she is drawn to intimate and unusual stories, particularly those of women and individuals who are under-represented in traditional media. Her work has been presented by organisations including HBO, Netflix, “The New Yorker”, the BBC and Showtime. She recently participated in the Film at Lincoln Center Artists Academy and the newportFILM lab to develop her debut feature-length documentary.UchroniaIn this docu-essay inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's “Une Saison en Enfer”, we meet the French poet's ghost embarking on a time-travel adventure. His delirious visions become portals opening onto alternative timelines – or “uchronias”. Rimbaud gains the opportunity to meet revolutionary figures such as Emma Goldman, David Wojnarowicz and Marsha P. Johnson. Together, they explore the possibility of social change and reflect on the meaning of revolution in times of disillusionment. Inspired by the rich history of 20th-century experimental queer cinema, the film is a celebration of enfants terribles and dissident freaks across the globe. Ultimately, the film considers the current political milieu and its parallels with Rimbaud's own time. Could post-internet ennui and widespread defeatism be understood through the eyes of a late 19th-century decadent poet?

Coach Doug Matthews is joined by James "Boots" Donnelly, a Hall of Fame football coach and former athletic director at MTSU, alongside sports writer Tony Barnhart to discuss the radical transformation of college athletics. The conversation centers on how the transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) have created a significant financial and competitive divide between Power Four conferences and non-Power Four programs. Donnelly expresses concern that smaller schools now operate under entirely different revenue and voting structures, struggling to sustain the rising costs associated with roster expansion and increased scholarship limits. He reflects on his strategic push to move MTSU from Division I-AA to I-A via the Sun Belt Conference, a necessary maneuver intended to prevent the university from being left behind as the landscape shifted toward a more corporate, high-stakes model. The group also highlights the explosive growth of high school football talent in Middle Tennessee, which has evolved into a national recruiting hotbed that produces elite athletes, including starting quarterbacks for the SEC. They reminisce about the era of "buy games," where programs like MTSU played national powerhouses such as Nebraska and Florida State to fund their athletic departments, and share anecdotes about local legends like Larry Schmidt and Roy Kidd. Amidst these reflections, Donnelly shares lighter personal stories, such as the origin of his nickname "Boots," which was the result of a newspaper misspelling when he was a Little League pitcher. Ultimately, the discussion underscores a deep appreciation for the pure competitive nature of football, contrasted against the modern challenges of conference expansion and shifting media rights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach is joined by sports journalists Tony Barnhart and Charles Davis, along with legendary coach Boots Donnelly, for a spirited discussion centered on the evolving landscape of football. The conversation begins with a nostalgic look at the past, with Donnelly and the panel reminiscing about the days of large recruiting classes and the significant impact of transfer players on programs like Middle Tennessee. This historical context sets the stage for a critique of the modern era, specifically how Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal have shifted power even further toward major conferences. The group notes that top talent from smaller schools is increasingly "transferring up" to the SEC and Big Ten, which was reflected in the high number of transfer students selected in the most recent NFL Draft. The segment then shifts focus to a detailed evaluation of the 2026 NFL Draft and specific player outcomes. Charles Davis provides an analysis of the draft's depth, noting that while it lacked a high volume of superstar quarterbacks at the top, it was bolstered by strong defensive and line talent. A significant portion of the talk is dedicated to Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, with the panel debating his professional prospects. While they unanimously praise his "winner" mentality and his historic contributions to the Vanderbilt program, there is a consensus of skepticism regarding his ability to succeed as a pro quarterback due to his size and playing style. The discussion wraps up with a look at the "gap" in talent between the dominant Power Two conferences and the rest of college football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when an accent choice derails an SVU where the initial crime is wrapped up in an open-and-shut murder at minute 19 and becomes a bizarre cold-case-cum-morality-play sans benefit of flashback? Well, the Randomizer selected “Persona” (Season 10, Episode 8), so Adam and Josh found out the hard way. For far from the first time in the run of Munch My Benson, a foreign-born actor plays fast and loose with a wavering accent. This time, the offender was two-time Oscar-nominee Brenda Blethyn, whose presence pulls a certain big gun down from the bench to settle a 34-year-old score. Along the way, the question as to whether this feminist text passes the Bechdel test, the greater concerns raised by Liv's proclivity towards inappropriate actions, an exploration of just what “vile thing” meant in 1974-speak, and an alternate reality in which Benson DuBois chases down perps are all discussed.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, and Matt - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

"People say that they want to change, but behind every new job, new romance, big move is a potentially uncomfortable conversation, experience, shift... True change requires you to do things that are gonna feel really uncomfortable." Right now, the energy is intense, and if you've been feeling it, you're not imagining it. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow guide Andrea Donnelly for one of our honest, unfiltered conversations about what's actually happening beneath the surface of all this collective chaos. We dig into why your triggers are so loud right now, why that's not a sign that something has gone wrong, and what it really means to stay the course when everything feels like it's dissolving.We also get into something I see constantly with my clients: the trap of waiting until life looks a certain way before you allow yourself to move forward. Whether you're holding back in your business, your relationships, or your healing, we talk about the programming underneath that pattern, where it comes from, and how to start loosening its grip. This one is real, raw, and full of the kind of perspective that actually helps you breathe through what you're carrying.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy the matrix comes hardest when transformation is most availableBeing triggered doesn't mean the work isn't working — it means it isThe butterfly metaphor: what it actually looks like to dissolve before you transform"I'll be happy when..." — the unconscious trap keeping you stuck in delayWhose definition of perfect are you subscribed to?Feeling the full spectrum: why shutting down the pain also shuts down the joyBecoming a student of yourself as the most advanced thing you can doEnergy work as reclaiming authority over your own fieldWhy the goal was never a perfect life — it was the ability to move through things fast**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD** When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Metamorphosis Method Level 1 Breathwork Certification is a 6-week intensive designed to help you use this specific breathwork modality to accelerate your own results, and hold space powerfully for others.Download The Core Wound Solution Private Podcast Learn the simple process that took me from broke school counselor to 7 figures and has helped 100's of my clients do the same.Questions?

Dana Donnelly of Midnight Milkshake Podcast and writer/ director of The Prospect puts on her anthropologist hat to discuss SATC S1E10, “The Baby Shower.” Our four ladies take a road trip to suburban Connecticut for ex-party girl Laney's baby shower and bravely confront the idea of motherhood. Samantha heats up her old slut rivalry with Laney and delivers her most iconic line (“you bitch!”) Charlotte laments her stolen baby name and 90s-style deletes her Pinterest board, Carrie misses her period and contemplates motherhood from a journalistic perspective, and Miranda shares a familial moment with Carrie in the condom aisle at the drug store. We discuss how having a secure sense of identity can make you a better slut and mother, why being a goofy gal means you have the most natural sexual energy, the argument for throwing more events that celebrate not having a baby, and why Carrie should never open Excel.

Episode Overview In the third instalment of our series on famine and revolution, we pull away the veil of headline numbers to investigate the visceral, human reality of the Great Hunger in Ireland. This is an exploration of a land filling with desperation, where the brutal biological mechanics of what happens when the human body begins to consume itself take centre stage. We examine the fate of a terrified people, facing ruin triggered by a disease that wreaked havoc on already weak economies. From the folklore of the Fear Gorta to the harrowing clinical reports of the era, this episode explores how a society is transformed when it is blindsided by biological disaster and administrative indifference. Key Topics Covered: The Information Vacuum: Comparing our modern “Ocean of Information” to the terrifying silence of the 1840s, where the sickly sweet smell of rot was a mystery without an immediate answer. The Folklore of Famine: Why stories like Hansel and Gretel and the Navajo Dine Bahane carry the genetic memory of starvation, and the specific Irish harbinger of death: the Fear Gorta. The Structural Cage: A deep dive into the Rundale system and Gavelkind inheritance. We look at why the West was trapped in a cycle of subdivision while Ulster was shielded by the “Linen Shield” and Tenant Right. The Biology of Starvation: Using modern metabolic science and contemporary medical records to explain the “Blue Nose,” the “Sunken Orbit,” and the terrifying reality of Autophagy—the body cannibalising its own architecture. The Refeeding Trap: The physiological reason why a crust of bread could become a death sentence for a heart shrunken by atrophy. Conspicuous Consumption: The stark contrast between the “Workhouse Swineries” and the elite social calendar, including the dinner menus of the Cork Harbour Regatta. The Gregory Clause: How a single piece of legislation—the Quarter-Acre Clause—was used to engineer the clearances and force the starving into homelessness. The Ledger of the Dead: Analysis of the 1851 Census and the 20–25% demographic erasure that redefined Ireland forever. SOURCES Historical Research & Modern Analysis Delaney, Enda.
