Podcasts about extremes

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge one of the most repeated ideas in personal development and expose why it quietly derails long-term success. One philosophy prioritizes pressure, risk, and rapid growth. The other protects consistency, identity, and sustainability. Both have merit. Both carry costs. Drawing from years of coaching patterns and thousands of conversations, this episode forces an honest look at how people actually grow, burn out, or compound results over time.This conversation is not about motivation or hype. It is about self-belief, risk tolerance, performance psychology, and knowing how much weight you can carry without breaking trust with yourself. Listen carefully. Then decide what kind of pressure you are willing to earn, and what kind of future you are willing to protect.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the complex and often suppressed memory of China's recent past. Drawing on Tania Branigan's Red Memory, we delve into the heart of Beijing—Tiananmen Square—and unpack its layers of history, from the May Fourth Movement of 1919 to the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 and the tragedy of 1989.Why does the portrait of Mao Zedong still gaze over the square, despite the catastrophes of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution? How does the Chinese Communist Party use "Red Tourism" and curated museums to construct a narrative of national rejuvenation while burying the trauma of its own making? From the "Century of Humiliation" to Xi Jinping's "Chinese Dream," we examine how memory is not just history, but a tool of state legitimacy.Plus: A reminder for students!

1 John 2:15-17You may be tempted to isolate yourself from the world but we're meant to live in it. People need to see the reality of Christ in you. The answer's not isolation, it's insulation.

Nutrition advice has never been louder or more polarized. From carnivore-only diets to sugar-only extremes, confident claims often race ahead of the science. In this episode, we explore three stories shaping today's nutrition debate. First, we unpack insights from a Mayo Clinic–trained physician, clinical nutrition expert, and stage 4 cancer survivor, who explains why food is medicine and why plant-forward eating and moderation continue to outperform nutrition fads. We then look at the business and media landscape around plant-based food, including the collapse of Beyond Meat's share price, comments from CEO Ethan Brown, and claims from an industry insider paid to spread anti-vegan messaging online. We also examine the science comparing meat and plant-based alternatives, including the Stanford “Swap Meat” study. Finally, we examine the rise of the carnivore diet online, driven by influencer anecdotes, and why medical experts are pushing back as concerns grow about long-term health risks and misinformation.

Episode Summary:In the first episode of 2026, Nick embarks on a year-long exploration of Eric Hobsbawm's monumental work, The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914–1991.We begin by examining Hobsbawm's premise: that the 20th century was defined by a binary struggle between ideologies that mutually excluded one another—capitalism vs. communism, democracy vs. fascism. But as Nick argues, this Western-centric view often simplifies the complex realities of national liberation struggles in China, Vietnam, and the Global South.The episode also delves into one of the most pressing issues for modern historians: "historical amnesia." Why, despite living in an age of information saturation, do we feel increasingly disconnected from the past? Drawing on Tony Judt and Hobsbawm, we explore how the breakdown of intergenerational storytelling and the allure of the "endless now" have created a society adrift in a permanent present.Plus: Important announcements about our upcoming live masterclasses for history students launching later this month!Key Topics:The Short 20th Century: Hobsbawm's definition of the era from 1914 to 1991.Historical Amnesia: Why the destruction of social memory is the eerie hallmark of the late 20th century.The Problem of Judgment: Why understanding the context of atrocities like the Holocaust does not mean forgiving them.The Binary Trap: Moving beyond the simple "Good vs. Evil" narrative of the Cold War.Books Mentioned:The Age of Extremes by Eric HobsbawmPostwar by Tony JudtExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sets supplements aside to explore a deeper side of health: emotional vitality and the way we choose to spend our time. Recorded on New Year's Eve, this reflective conversation looks at the inner tension between discipline and desire, purpose and comfort, and why balance matters more than extremes. Drawing inspiration from music, philosophy, and real life, Jared shares insights on identity, attention, and conscious choice — and invites listeners to consider a different question as a new year begins: which part of you are you choosing to bring to life today? This episode is a thoughtful pause before goal-setting begins, offering perspective on growth, meaning, and the life that's still being built.Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

There are 2 extremes people fall into when it comes to their pastor: 1. their pastor is perfect, or, 2. the pastor can't do anything right. In today's episode, Jenn delves into 1 Timothy 5, which explains a more moderate approach as to how we should view our pastors: Good pastors (those who meet the elder qualifications) should be given double honor Yes, pastors should be paid Accusations against an elder should only be listened to if there are multiple witnesses Paul tells the church to be impartial toward their pastors Click all these links from P40: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnh-aqfg8rw Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/p40ministries Website - https://www.p40ministries.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p40ministries Contact - jenn@p40ministries.com Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/c-6493869 Books - https://www.amazon.com/Jenn-Kokal/e/B095JCRNHY/ref=aufs_dp_fta_dsk Merch - https://www.p40ministries.com/shop YouVersion - https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/38267-out-of-the-mire-trusting-god-in-the-middle Support babies and get quality coffee with Seven Weeks Coffee https://sevenweekscoffee.com/?ref=P40 Check out LifeAudio for other faith-based podcasts on parenting, studying Scripture, and more: www.lifeaudio.com Become a member to gain access to The Bible Explained on Fridays: https://ko-fi.com/p40ministries Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In this episode of Shift with CJ, I step into the guest seat on Dr. Jameel Rizwana Hussain's podcast Let the Soul Speak. Riz is a spiritual and manifestation coach, and together we explore what it really means to “upgrade your human”—going beyond biohacking tools and into purpose, spirituality, and inner fulfillment.We talk about how my journey into health didn't start with supplements or saunas. It started with pain. Growing up obese and being bullied pushed me toward martial arts, then fitness, CrossFit, and physical mastery. From the outside, things looked great—but inside, I felt hollow. That gap led me to search for happiness, peace, and meaning beyond the body.Biohacking gave me the science and language to understand longevity, energy, and performance. But over time, I realized something important: spirituality begins where biohacking ends. Biohacking can optimize sleep, HRV, and physical health, but it can't fill what I call the “eternal hole in the heart.” That's where spirituality comes in.RZ and I revisit a powerful idea we shared years ago: we are not human beings having a spiritual experience—we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This perspective reframes how we approach health, success, and suffering.We also dive into the meaning of my name, Chiranjivi, which in Sanskrit means “eternal” or “one who works toward longevity and well-being.” Once something I resisted, it later felt like a calling. I share my most spiritually transformative experience at the Maha Kumbh Mela and during Mahashivratri in Varanasi, where I experienced deep inner calm, heightened intuition, and a profound connection to Krishna.A key theme throughout the episode is moderation. Extremes—even in wellness—eventually backfire. The middle way, as taught by the Buddha, is what sustains health, clarity, and peace.Looking forward, my mission is to simplify biohacking, make optimization accessible to more people, and personally go much deeper into the spiritual path.Key TakeawaysBiohacking optimizes the body, spirituality fulfills the soul.Physical fitness alone doesn't guarantee inner peace.We are spiritual beings having a human experience.Moderation is the foundation of long-term wellness.Inner anchoring leads to clarity, joy, and fulfillment.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodaySpend time on inner work and find your spiritual anchor.Practice moderation in food, training, work, and habits.Wake up earlier and move your body daily.Connect with people and spend time outdoors.Get sunlight, ground yourself, and prioritize quality sleep.

How do we maintain spiritual stability when life swings dramatically from blessing to crisis? Jason Jett confronts the tension between life's extreme highs and lows—using vivid South Dakota weather patterns and the apostle Paul's testimony as illustrations. Drawing from Philippians 4:10-13, Jett argues that Christ's continually renewing strength is sufficient for every circumstance, and that believers must learn two essential disciplines: practicing gratitude during abundance and cultivating trust during hardship. The sermon challenges listeners to develop daily dependence on Christ's strength so that when life's extremes arrive, they are spiritually prepared to face them with thanksgiving and trust.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This episode is a sharp analysis of the current state of politics in America and what happens if radicalism continues to go unchallenged. Episode Highlights How the Democratic Party's leftward shift has sidelined moderates and reshaped American politics Why figures like Mamdani raise serious concerns not just for New York City but nationwide The media's role in amplifying extremist voices and the urgent need for critical political engagement

PREVIEW — Veronique de Rugy — The Political Horseshoe: Converging Discontent. de Rugy explains the political "horseshoe" theory, which posits that ideologically opposed extremes—the far Left and far Right—converge in their fundamental conviction that the United States is pursuing a catastrophic trajectory requiring comprehensive government intervention and systemic restructuring. de Rugy documents that both ideological poles perceive the existing political-economic order as fundamentally irreparably corrupted or unjust, generating agreement across the ideological spectrum regarding the necessity of radical systemic transformation despite divergent visions regarding post-transformation governance structures and resource allocation mechanisms. 1955

Today I'm sitting down with one of my clients to talk about the part of a health journey no one warns you about: the cycle of losing the weight… only to gain it right back. She came to me stuck in the "all-or-nothing" loop — strict during the week, off the rails on the weekend, and constantly starting over. Extremes were easy. Maintenance wasn't. And if she wasn't being perfect, she didn't think she was doing it "right." In this episode, she shares: what finally pushed her to get help why her old approach kept failing her the breakthroughs she had around food and self-trust the moment she realized one bite tastes as good as the whole thing how she learned to stop trying to earn her progress with extremes and what it actually took to build consistency that lasts If you've ever wondered, "Why do I keep gaining the weight back?" or "Why can't I stay consistent?", her story is going to hit home. This episode shows you what real change looks like when you shift out of perfectionism, rebuild your relationship with food, and learn how to maintain your progress without swinging to extremes. And if you're listening and thinking, "This sounds like me,"—you'll hear exactly what's possible when you finally choose a different approach.   FREEBIES & COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

Send us a textIs there a more terrifying writer in the world than Edgar Allan Poe, nor a more fun one to read with a child with than Theodore Geisel, "Dr. Seuss" ?  I don't think so. In this episode we chronicle two of the most extremely different authors of our entire series. Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of the strangest and most horrifying stories ever written. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" "The Mask of the Red Death" The Fall of the House of Usher", "Tell Tale Heart", The Pit and the Pendulum" the list goes on and on. But for all of that he is actually considered the father of the modern detective novel which is what he actually made his living doing. Though he struggled financially his entire life. His poetry is equally famous and perhaps no other poem stands out at all like "The Raven" which we will feature in this episode. The actor most closely associated with Poe is Vincent Price who made some of the best movies ever made in the 1950s and 1960s. Poe's life was as interesting as his writing and his death just as mysterious, we will tell you the story and feature his writing tips too, through the episode. Dr. Seuss, was a part of every child's life under the age of 8 in every home I have ever visited, you at least see one of his books. "The Cat in the Hat", "The Lorax", "Green Eggs and Ham," "Oh the Places we will Go" , "The Sneeches" , "One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish", "Horton Hears a Who?" , my personal favorite "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", and even a book found two decades after he passed away, hidden in a box at his house, titled "What Pet Should I get" What an extraordinary legacy to have had such an impact on the lives of children everywhere, with characters that never existed until he dreamed them up, mixed with timeless themes, that match perfectly with his rhymes. In this episode we introduce you to the man, his books, and his writing advice.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Next week in Tennessee, the biggest and most important election since Election Day is happening. And it could be a key bellwether for the mid-term elections next year. But most of America doesn't know it's happening. Or that an independent veteran is running in it. But this fascinating and intense race is a reflection of all that is broken in American politics today. And also, may give you hope for the future.  Can the Republicans hold this solidly red district? Will the Democrats continue their hot streak and win again? And will this little-known independent candidate be the determining factor? Independent veteran Congressional candidate Jon Thorp joins Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) from rural Tennessee to break down his high‑stakes special election outside of Nashville, why he walked away from the GOP to run as a true independent, and how MAGA money, Democrat Super PACs, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, gerrymandering, and broken election rules are all stacked against independent candidates like him.​ We'll take you inside this fight for a Congressional seat that could alter the entire balance of power in Washington.  In this latest special “Meet the Independent Candidate” episode, Paul talks exclusively with the former Army soldier and independent veteran who is running in a December 2nd special election in Tennessee's 7th District—a race drawn to be safely Republican but now suddenly competitive. Jon explains how a district that stretches across 14 counties from the Kentucky line down toward Alabama was carved to exclude downtown Nashville, why that gerrymander matters, and what he is hearing from disillusioned voters who feel politically homeless and ignored by both parties. Jon is facing a Trump-supported loyalist and extreme Republican Matt Van Epps, AND a Kamala Harris-supported far left Democrat Aftyn Behn–and presenting himself as the moderate voice of reason in the middle. Trump is watching this race closely. You should too.  And Paul also breaks down the top stories of the day–including reaction to the breaking news that the cases against James Comey and Leticia James have been dropped–and that Secretary of Defense and Pete Hegseth are considering launching an investigation and UCMJ legal action against political opponent, Navy Veteran and Democrat Senator Mark Kelly.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

Next week in Tennessee, the biggest and most important election since Election Day is happening. And it could be a key bellwether for the mid-term elections next year. But most of America doesn't know it's happening. Or that an independent veteran is running in it. But this fascinating and intense race is a reflection of all that is broken in American politics today. And also, may give you hope for the future.  Can the Republicans hold this solidly red district? Will the Democrats continue their hot streak and win again? And will this little-known independent candidate be the determining factor? Independent veteran Congressional candidate Jon Thorp joins Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) from rural Tennessee to break down his high‑stakes special election outside of Nashville, why he walked away from the GOP to run as a true independent, and how MAGA money, Democrat Super PACs, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, gerrymandering, and broken election rules are all stacked against independent candidates like him.​ We'll take you inside this fight for a Congressional seat that could alter the entire balance of power in Washington.  In this latest special “Meet the Independent Candidate” episode, Paul talks exclusively with the former Army soldier and independent veteran who is running in a December 2nd special election in Tennessee's 7th District—a race drawn to be safely Republican but now suddenly competitive. Jon explains how a district that stretches across 14 counties from the Kentucky line down toward Alabama was carved to exclude downtown Nashville, why that gerrymander matters, and what he is hearing from disillusioned voters who feel politically homeless and ignored by both parties. Jon is facing a Trump-supported loyalist and extreme Republican Matt Van Epps, AND a Kamala Harris-supported far left Democrat Aftyn Behn–and presenting himself as the moderate voice of reason in the middle. Trump is watching this race closely. You should too.  And Paul also breaks down the top stories of the day–including reaction to the breaking news that the cases against James Comey and Leticia James have been dropped–and that Secretary of Defense and Pete Hegseth are considering launching an investigation and UCMJ legal action against political opponent, Navy Veteran and Democrat Senator Mark Kelly.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

On this episode of Thelema Now!, host Harper Feist speaks with Tom Banger, contributor to the new book The Occult Harry Smith: The Magical and Alchemical Work of an Artist of the Extremes, edited by Peter Valente. Tom offers unique insight into the esoteric dimensions of Harry Smith's life and work—exploring his deep engagement with alchemy, hermeticism, and ritual practice. Known for his experimental films, obsessive collecting, and avant-garde mysticism, Smith lived at the crossroads of art, magic, and madness. Tom unpacks how Smith's creative output wasn't just inspired by occult ideas—it was occult work in itself. Tune in as we discuss Smith's magical worldview, his influence on countercultural currents, and why his visionary legacy still challenges and inspires occult thinkers, artists, and practitioners today. (There's also a lot of cool punk rock talk too!!)

After we performed our Śyāmā Kālī Pūjā this year (which you can watch here), we took up a short, concise but I think quite concentrated discussion on how image worship, the danger of superimposing our projections unto Kālī & the check and balance of taking seriously what Her saints have had to say about Her through their own mystical experiences throughout history. Most importantly, we point to the two "extreme" ends of the spectrum when it comes to Kālī devotees and we propose a sort of synthesis of these two, that I pray, will lead to a deeper felt sense of the inscrutability and immediacy of Mā Kālī's unfathomable, all-pervasive wild power!

In this long-anticipated episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with one of the most exciting duos in contemporary digital culture, Ann Hirsch and Maya Man. They cover their collaborative projects, Ugly Bitches and Little Darlings, which explore online gender performativity. We discuss the works in relation to the so-called "vibe shift" of the 2020s. The artists also discuss how their work, often using GANs and other AI technologies, counteracts the "girl boss" rhetoric of early 2020s NFT projects by presenting a more flawed, nuanced, and sincere depiction of both femininity and masculinity. They detail how UB uses intentionally distorted AI dolls to comment on female failure, while LD employs shinier AI imagery to critique the "hustle grind gain success" male influencer culture. Finally, the conversation touches upon their admiration for, and points of departure from, the "Gay NFT" or Avant Schizocollage scene, with the artists expressing an interest in "ironic sincerity" in their work.Monday's Editorial with Jess Tucker: https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/jess-tucker-on-longing-for-a-faceChapters

In this explosive TWR Wednesday, Sam, Max Sand, and Mortheous examine two political figures who—despite living on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum—share a common, dangerous thread.On the far-right: Nick Fuentes, a neo-Nazi sympathizer whose toxic influence continues radicalizing disaffected young men online.On the far-left: Zoran Mamdani, New York City's new radical-left mayor whose open communist sympathies threaten to accelerate the city's political and economic decline.Both men preach extremism.Both reject nuance.And both ultimately seek to undermine America from within by replacing democratic norms with their own authoritarian visions.The crew breaks down:How both Fuentes and Mamdani weaponize grievance politicsWhy extremes from either side destabilize the countryThe role of media ecosystems in amplifying fringe ideologuesHow cultural decay creates fertile ground for radicalsWhy America desperately needs nuance, balance, and actual debate—not ideological cult leadersNo tribalism. No sugarcoating. Just straight talk.Welcome to TWR Wednesday—where nuance still matters.Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X & Instagram: @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X: @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreport
