Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ideas explored in HG Wells' novella, published in 1895, in which the Time Traveller moves forward to 802,701 AD. There he finds humanity has evolved into the Eloi and Morlocks, where the Eloi are small but leisured fruitarians and the Morlocks live below ground, carry out the work and have a different diet. Escaping the Morlocks, he travels millions of years into the future, where the environment no longer supports humanity. With Simon Schaffer Professor of History of Science at Cambridge University Amanda Rees Historian of science at the University of York And Simon James Professor in the Department of English Studies at Durham University We are also remembering Simon James who passed away this summer and who, we are told, really enjoyed this recording. Producer: Simon Tillotson

Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns joins me in the studio to dive deeply into the world of housing finance and housing policy, fresh on the heels of his book, Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Response to the Housing Crisis. For an architect and engineer to dive into this world might seem anathema to economists, but we go there anyway. The topics range from the thirty year mortgage and its distortions on the housing market to yield curve control to how social trust impacts the whole conversation. And we ask “do we actually have enough housing?” Coming soon I'll have an episode about Leon Krier and his impact on so many discussions for architecture, planning and design today, but for now Chuck and I talk about one aspect of his ideas: height limits. Naturally, we focus on how that plays out in Washington, D.C.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010. Videos here.

Trap discusses the trials of "working 2 jobs" to get by, highlighting "the struggle" many face while trying to achieve "financial freedom". This video touches on "anxiety" and "debt" that can arise from "money problems", and the desire to "escape" the cycle.

Have you noticed how heavy the world feels lately? Between the government shutdown, nonstop news updates, and the endless scroll of social media, it's easy to slip into survival mode. You're not sad exactly… but you're not joyful either. You're just flat. Disconnected. I know that space well, because I've lived it too. And what I've learned — both personally and through years of working with clients — is that this isn't just about stress. It's about how our nervous system and our shadow respond to uncertainty. In this episode, I share: ✨ Why joy is often the first thing to disappear in times of chaos ✨ How numbing (scrolling, Netflix binges, overeating, overworking) tricks us into thinking we're “relaxing” ✨ Stories of how the shadow holds us back from joy — and what happens when we finally listen ✨ Simple tools to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover joy in the middle of the noise Because even when life feels overwhelming, your nervous system doesn't need perfection to feel safe — it just needs presence. And when you start tending to that, joy has a way of sneaking back in.

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are.

North Korean defector and human rights advocate Timothy Cho joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso for a deeply personal account of his life in and escape from North Korea. He recounts his childhood poverty, four imprisonments, harrowing escape, and ultimate rescue that finally brought him to freedom. His story reveals North Korea's total information control, systemic persecution, and brutal detention conditions, while also highlighting the power of compassion, civil society, and diplomacy to intervene.Total information blackout: North Korea remains the only country without internet, cross-border communication, or social media—25 million people completely isolated from the outside world.Childhood indoctrination and famine: Timothy grew up worshiping the Kim family from infancy. His parents fled the country during the starvation that swept the country in the 1990s, which led him to being labeled "enemy class" for their defection.First escape and capture: After crossing the river into China, Timothy experienced shock at the open markets and fashionable clothes he saw there. However, he fled in terror from Christian missionaries who wanted to help, as he had absorbed many years of propaganda that painted religion as barbaric.Prison hell: After he was arrested at the Mongolian border, Timothy was sent to North Korean detention cells so overcrowded that detainees couldn't lie down. He witnessed death, torture, forced abortions, and other traumas that left him deeply scarred.Second crossing: Assisted by his grandmother to escape a second time, he was wrapped in plastic for another river crossing into China, where he found unexpected help from strangers.Rescue: After a 13-year-old student's email sparked international media coverage of the plight of North Korean refugees, public protests and diplomatic pressure led China to deport Timothy and eight others to the Philippines.Today's advocacy: Today Timothy serves as Secretariat of the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea, speaking at the UN and urging sustained attention to the "voiceless" millions under DPRK repression.North Korea's unique isolation underpins mass repression through complete information control. The regime punishes families of defectors, while detention is often lethal by design. However, civil society and diplomatic action can save lives—one student's message triggered multilateral intervention. Of 34,000 estimated escapees, most remain fearfully silent to protect themselves and loved ones still inside.

The root of all human suffering is ego—defined as our personal preferences, desires, and resistance to reality. Consciousness—our true self—is inherently divine, ever-present, and unchanging. It gets pulled down into lower vibrations by mental and emotional attachments to past experiences. The path to liberation involves recognizing the futility of resisting what has already happened and the importance of releasing our stored blockages. Over time, this allows us to enter a state of joy, peace, and harmony with the universe. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

Yladrea Drummond went from being “team no care about the law" to becoming a highly successful trial attorney and solo firm owner in Maryland and DC. She openly shares the grit required to get barred after a seven-year journey, how she transitioned her practice from family law to dominating criminal defense, and the non-negotiable value of complete autonomy that running her own firm provides. This conversation is a raw, honest look at the transition from legal disappointment to becoming a respected "big dog in court" who is truly building a legacyLAWYER SIDE HUSTLESWhile Yladrea is a self-proclaimed "workhorse" focused on the rapid expansion and day-to-day operations of her successful trial firm, she also acknowledges the importance of creative outlets that serve as a side interest and a form of therapy. Her personal hustle is in the realm of writing, specifically fiction, which is a powerful creative counterbalance to the high-stress demands of her criminal defense practice.“I love to write,” Yladrea Drummond shares in Episode 213 of You Are a Lawyer.Although the fiction novel was ultimately shelved, Yladrea recognizes her love for writing remains strong. She notes that if she were to pursue a writing project now, after achieving success in her firm, she would aim to share her professional expertise in a non-traditional format.LISTEN TO LEARNHow to protect your peace and stay grounded in high-pressure legal rolesWhat it looks like to lead authentically, even in corporate settingsWhy saying “yes” to rest is essential for longevity in the legal fieldWE ALSO DISCUSSThe pressures of overachievement and burnout in lawBlack joy, healing, and the power of communityRedefining success beyond titles and traditional career pathsPartnership: Did you know that children as young as 10 can be prosecuted as adults in Pennsylvania? You Are A Lawyer has partnered with YSRP, the Youth Sentencing and Re-Entry Project, to bring awareness to their fight to keep young people out of adult prisons and to advocate for youth lifers. Visit YSRP.org to support this cause.

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I sit down with Vanessa Reiser, LCSW, a renowned psychotherapist, speaker, and advocate who has dedicated her career to helping survivors of narcissistic abuse and coercive control reclaim their lives. Vanessa is the founder of Tell a Therapist, a nationwide telehealth platform, and the author of Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide, a groundbreaking resource that not only unpacks the devastating impact of narcissistic and cult abuse but also offers clinicians the training and tools they need to support survivors in the healing process.Together, we explore what coercive control looks like in real life. We talk about why certain people are more vulnerable to narcissistic abuse, the toll it takes on mental health, and how survivors can begin to recognize the patterns and break free.We also shine a light on the unique challenges survivors face in family court when narcissistic abuse is involved, and why therapist training in this area is so urgently needed. Vanessa's book is an essential guide for professionals and survivors alike, offering not just insight but hope—that recovery is possible, and that healing from narcissistic abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your power, and your life.Connect with Vanessa:Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide: https://www.amazon.com/Narcissistic-Abuse-Therapists-Identifying-Manipulative/dp/0306833174Tell a Therapist: https://tellatherapist.net/Follow Vanessa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessareiserlcsw/Resources Mentioned in this Podcast:

Dame Stephanie Shirley built a billion-dollar tech empire from her kitchen table in the 1960s, pioneered remote work before anyone knew what Wi-Fi was, and discovered the psychology behind turning survivor's guilt into unstoppable motivation.

336: Escaping Scarcity to Reclaim Strategic Leadership (Pierre Berastaín)SUMMARYSpecial thanks to TowneBank for bringing these conversations to life, and for their commitment to strengthening nonprofit organizations. Learn more about how they can help you at TowneBank.com/NonprofitBanking.What happens when scarcity becomes the default mindset in your organization? In episode #336 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, global nonprofit leader Pierre Berastain reveals how operating with too little for too long goes far beyond financial strain - it reshapes culture, stifles innovation, and narrows leadership's field of vision. Drawing from personal experience and his work addressing systemic challenges, Pierre explains the structural, psychological, and relational costs of scarcity and why they so often leave organizations stuck in survival mode. He challenges leaders to step back, examine strategy, culture, and systems, and ask whether decisions are driven by fear or clarity. With practical insights and examples, this conversation offers nonprofit leaders a roadmap to shift from reactive to strategic, reimagine what's possible, and create healthier, more resilient organizations that protect people while advancing mission.ABOUT PIERREPierre Berastaín is the Regional Director for North America of the Centre for Public Impact. He brings over 15 years of experience in organizational management and program implementation. He is the co-founder of Caminar Latino-Latinos United for Peace and Equity, a national organization focused on addressing gender-based violence. He has previously held leadership roles at organizations such as the District Alliance for Safe Housing, Harvard University, and Esperanza United, focusing on gender-based violence. A published author and public speaker, Pierre has been recognized for his work in immigration, LGBTQ advocacy, and restorative justice. Pierre holds degrees from Harvard College and Harvard Divinity School and a doctorate in public health from UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.

This week, The Redeemed Man podcast welcomes back one of its very first guests, licensed counselor and minister Michael Cusick, to talk about his new book Sacred Attachments. In his conversation with Nate Dewberry, Michael explains what attachment means, why it matters, and how the bonds we form, or fail to form, early in life can shape us as adults. He also highlights the importance of openness and honesty, how to guard against “spiritual exhaustion,” and what it means to embrace a “re-imagined” life with God—one marked not by constant activity, but by rest and security in His love. Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/What inspired Michael's latest book3:19 What does attachment mean, and why is it important?11:51 The “Four S's” critical to a child's healthy emotional development15:32 How our sacred attachment to God helps us “exhale” in times of stress and shame24:26 The truth will set you free—not just the truth of the Bible, but what's in our own hearts32:11 God meets us where we're broken, so let's be willing to admit where that is41:38 How God rescues us: the story of Juan CruzVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

Read the full transcript here. What changes when we treat violence as a human problem rather than a demographic story? Are fear, anger, and shame the real levers behind sudden harm? How much agency can we ask of people shaped by chaos without ignoring that chaos? Where is the line between explanation and excuse? What would an honest narrative about community safety sound like? Do neighborhoods want fewer police, or different policing grounded in respect? How do we build cultures where accountability and care reinforce each other? If separation is required for rehabilitation, how do we keep it from becoming psychological punishment?

While for many it came out of nowhere, it seems Kimmel himself was more prepared than we thought. The long-running late-night host recently revealed that he secured a Plan B passport, Italian citizenship through descent. This gives him the freedom to live and work anywhere in the EU, no matter what happens in the US. Today, Mr Henderson explains why Kimmel's move matters, how citizenship by descent works, and why having a second passport isn't just for celebrities. He also shares the other ways you can create your plan B. Nomad Capitalist helps clients "go where you're treated best."

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, “Escaping the Envy Trap” received thousands of downloads when we first aired it in 2021 and it made me wonder: How many people are stuck in this trap of studying other people's lives and wanting to be where they are, or to have what they have, or to look like they look? A hyperfocus on other people's lives is a shortcut to envy, and envy is rotten for the soul. This episode will give you several things to consider, as well as pointing the way out of this consuming trap.  "A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones."

Brandon sits down with Mita Mallick, author of The Devil Emails at Midnight, to examine how well-intentioned managers slip into bad-boss behaviors and what leaders can do to course-correct. They discuss stress and personal crises as root causes, the outsized impact managers have on employee mental health, why one-on-ones are a retention tool, and how to prevent cultures of constant urgency. You'll also hear practical tips for avoiding micromanagement, honoring names, reducing meeting bloat, and inviting real coaching from your team.

Think you need to buy a dozen rental properties just to break free from your nine-to-five job? Today's guest proves that you might only need a couple. In just two years, he's built a two-property portfolio that brings in serious cash flow and has helped him ditch the corporate grind for good. And in this episode, he'll show you how to do the same!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Dylan Pettijohn was still hustling at his W-2 job, saving every dollar for his first rental property, when an off-market real estate deal fell right in his lap and changed everything. Then, with a triplex and renovation already under his belt, Dylan went even bigger—taking down a 12-unit multifamily property that has allowed him to focus on real estate full-time!   The best part? Dylan didn't build his portfolio with a ton of money or experience. In this episode, you'll learn about the power of real estate partnerships when scaling, the perks of having several units under one roof, and how to stay ready for when that next big opportunity comes your way. In This Episode We Cover How Dylan built a 15-unit rental portfolio in just two years The strategy that helps you raise rent without losing great tenants The pros and cons of commercial loans (and how to get one!) How to properly plan your renovation project and keep it on budget Finding real estate deals before they hit the market (pocket listings explained) And So Much More!
