Podcasts about extremes

Heat waves don’t get as much attention as blizzards, floods, and hurricanes, but extreme heat is one of the deadliest weather events on average.

Robert Forte has been at every major inflection point of the psychedelic movement for half a century, and he is skeptical of where it is going. That skepticism, coming from someone who knew Wasson, Hofmann, Grof, and Eliade personally. Forte brings a rare formation to this conversation: graduate training in religious studies at the University of Chicago under Mircea Eliade, decades of work with the foundational figures in psychedelic scholarship, phenomenological site work in Greece, and the republication of The Road to Eleusis — the thesis that seeded the most popular book in the current psychedelic renaissance. He is a historian of religion who has lived inside the territory he studies. This conversation opens with a Sufi tale about "changed waters" — a story about what happens when an entire culture shifts its baseline of perception and the one person who held onto the old water eventually drinks the new, because the loneliness of being different became unbearable. Forte has used this story to frame his entire body of work. From there we move through his formation: a childhood mystical experience by a stream, a turning point in a Columbia lecture hall when a professor wrote R. Gordon Wasson on the chalkboard, and the life that followed. We explore the mystery traditions and what secrecy actually protected, the difference between psychedelics as cultural healing and psychedelics as weapon, and the documented record — MKUltra, media promotion, Huxley's dark warnings, and an account linking JFK's alleged psilocybin experience to his 1963 peace speech. We close on what Forte considers the essential question for this moment: how do we cultivate virtue and discernment when the sacred is being commercialized faster than it can be integrated? In this conversation: The Sufi tale of the changed waters — and what it names about modern spiritual confusion The mystery traditions: what secrecy was protecting, and what its loss costs Forte's formation — Wasson, Hofmann, Eliade, Grof, and what it means to have received a living transmission The phenomenology of Eleusis: site work, The Road to Eleusis, and the Mysteries as lived encounter Psychedelics as both healing and weapon: MKUltra, media, and the politics of altered states JFK, psilocybin, and the 1963 peace speech Huxley's warning — and whether we are watching it come true What virtue and discernment look like when the sacred meets the market Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 05:54 Greek Mysteries and Lineage 09:41 Sufi Tale: When the Waters Change 12:00 Amnesia and the Extremes of Religion 16:23 Childhood: The Mystical Stream 22:15 LSD, Democracy, and TM 26:00 Soma, Wasson, and the Calling 30:31 Psychedelic History: Light and Shadow 34:34 Mystery Schools: Secrecy and Stages 43:50 Jung, the Road to Eleusis 50:10 Why Cultures Need Initiation 52:37 From Weapon to Sacrament 53:59 Kennedy's Psychedelic Turn 56:13 The Peace Speech and Its Fallout 1:00:58 MKUltra and the Acid Hype 1:08:18 Huxley's Dark Warning 1:16:26 Eleusis and Power 1:35:58 Virtue and Discernment 1:38:46 Where to Find Robert Find Robert: www.alteredstatesofamerica.net alteredstatesofamerica.substack.com The Sacred Speaks: www.drjohnwprice.com youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg instagram.com/thesacredspeaks facebook.com/thesacredspeaks Brought to you by The Center for Healing Arts and Sciences — thecenterforhas.com Theme music: Modern Nations — modernnationsmusic.com

Have you ever met someone named Lucy and thought, "She really looks like a Lucy"? As strange as it sounds, scientists have discovered there may be more truth to that feeling than you realize. Your name may actually influence the way you look—or at least the way other people see you. Listen as I explain this fascinating research and what it reveals about the surprising connection between names and faces.https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2405334121 We all give away far more than we think. Tiny facial expressions, subtle gestures, the way we sit, stand, or even touch our face can reveal confidence, nervousness, deception, attraction, and much more. Once you know what to look for, it's almost impossible not to notice these hidden signals. Joining me is Peter Collett, a social psychologist who taught at Oxford University and is internationally recognized for his expertise in human behavior and nonverbal communication. He is author of How To Tell What People Are Thinking From the Bedroom to the Boardroom (https://amzn.to/3WVytDM). This conversation is packed with practical insights that can help you read people more accurately in everyday life. What is the brightest thing in the universe? The stickiest substance? The loudest sound? The coldest place? The fastest, slowest, biggest and smallest things imaginable? Nature has some astonishing record holders—and many of them are far stranger than fiction. David Darling, science writer, astronomer, and author of nearly 50 books, including Ka-boom!: The Science of Extremes (https://amzn.to/3X5gTgJ), takes us on a tour of the most incredible extremes in science, nature, and the universe. You'll come away with a collection of facts you'll be repeating to people for weeks. Why does food often seem to taste better after a simple ritual—like singing "Happy Birthday" before eating cake? It turns out the ritual itself may be changing your experience in ways you never realized. Listen as I explain the surprising psychology behind this effect and why small rituals can make everything from meals to everyday experiences more enjoyable.https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/to-savor-the-flavor-perform-a-short-ritual-first.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Monique and Krista examine the difference between secular “liberation” and true freedom in Christ while reacting to Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Megan Romer's candid remarks about making conditions intolerable for the ruling class. In the second half, they look at the opposite extreme in a Dale Partridge clip advocating balkanization and an ethno-state, noting the horseshoe effect of structural overthrow on both fringes.

In this week's episode Kylene is discussing several areas where the end of a spectrum can be unhealthy when we sit there too long in our recovery journey. She explores the opposite sides of unhealth and shares how truth, healing and freedom is usually in the nuanced middle.   See visual summary notes from todays episode: https://canva.link/ntp2ynqpk2dkuir   If  would like to connect with Kylene for 1:1 coaching support, please click this link and book a free connection call: https://p.bttr.to/3ttk0Ql   Learn more at www.RecoverUcoaching.com   Check out the What's NEXT course for newly betrayed partners:  https://recoverucoaching.com/whats-next-course     Submit Questions and Feedback to the RecoverU podcast here: https://forms.gle/uww5sWK1WP8T8dbc8    Join the free RecoverU Facebook page for betrayed partners: www.facebook.com/groups/recoveru2    Resources for Healing: https://recoverucoaching.com/resources

With a Super El Niño brewing in the atmosphere, there's concern about what the weather pattern means for the U.S. and the Southwest. Texas is already experiencing another summer of weather extremes: destructive rainfall and flooding followed by dangerous heat, with Tropical Storm Bertha now moving across the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Manchmal brauche es Sturheit, sagt Albin Schelbert. Willenskraft ist für Evelyne Binsack zentral. Frank Senn muss auf sein Team zählen können. Was braucht es, um erfolgreich Extremes zu leisten? Er habe immer Glück gehabt, auf allen seinen Touren, sagt Albin Schelbert. Denn seine Kollegen seien in den Bergen immer durch Unglücke wie Steinschläge oder Lawinen verletzt worden oder gestorben, nicht durch fehlendes Können oder falsches Verhalten. Für Evelyne Binsack ist die Vorbereitung zentral für eine geglückte Expedition. Einzelkämpfer seien in einem Drehteam am Berg nicht vorstellbar, sagt Frank Senn. Alle müssten sich in jeder Situation auf den anderen verlassen können. Auf die Frage, was sich verändere, wenn solche Extremleistungen gelingen, werden Binsack und Schelbert nachdenklich. Es sind sehr persönliche Erlebnisse. Sie faszinieren wie die Berge an sich, sagt der Filmer Frank Senn. Binsack, Schelbert und Senn sind diese Woche die Gäste in der Sommerserie 25 Jahre Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

Was Camp Agudah Midwest Girls actually rainier and hotter than normal during its June 24 to July 16, 2026 session in South Haven, Michigan? This episode of Weather With Enthusiasm examines observations from the nearby South Haven Regional Airport, NOAA climate normals, National Weather Service storm reports, and NOAA Lake Michigan buoy data. It compares rainfall totals and timing, temperature and dew-point thresholds, heat index, unusually cool days, severe weather, and lake-water temperatures.The statistical verdict: through departure morning, 3.20 inches of rain fell, approximately 47% above the completed-day normal, while completed days averaged 3.7°F above normal for daytime highs. The session included four 90°F days, a peak calculated heat index near 105°F, a July 3 squall line, and a 1.73-inch daytime rain event on July 5.Methodology note: July 16 observations were partial through approximately 10 a.m. EDT. Completed-calendar-day climate comparisons therefore use June 24 through July 15, while event totals extend through departure morning July 16.No camp-specific illness outbreak, private-beach connection, or attributable camper quotation was verified, so none is presented as fact.This episode contains AI-generated narration and production elements.

In this episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with SJ Newell, creator of "The Objective Believer," for an honest and nuanced conversation about Kenneth E. Hagin, the Word of Faith movement, speaking in tongues, healing, prosperity, and the controversies surrounding these subjects today.Having personally heard Brother Hagin minister during the final years of his life—and after spending years studying the Word of Faith movement—SJ offers a perspective that goes beyond the caricatures.What did Kenneth Hagin actually teach? What have his critics misunderstood? Where did some within the movement go to extremes? And how did Hagin himself respond when he saw abuses developing around teachings he had helped popularize?This isn't about pretending that every excess was justified. And it isn't about dismissing an entire movement because of its extremes.It's about going back to the question Kenneth Hagin himself continually emphasized:What does the Word actually say?Whether you grew up in the Word of Faith movement, have serious questions about it, or have only heard about Kenneth Hagin through his critics, this conversation may challenge what you think you know about his legacy.Connect with Murrell Ministries:Visit Murrell Ministries International

Hear from celebrated journalist David Shukman on why climate change is no longer a future risk, how extreme weather is exposing weaknesses in the systems we rely on, and why human stories are often the most powerful way to communicate climate risk.   Climate risk is often discussed in terms of future scenarios, long-term projections, and abstract global targets. But for many people, the impacts are already here: in homes lost to wildfire, hospitals disrupted by extreme heat, transport systems buckling under rising temperatures, and supply chains exposed to droughts and other weather extremes.  That shift from future risk to present reality raises difficult questions for governments, businesses, and risk professionals. Are institutions prepared for the climate we now live in? Who is responsible when critical systems fail? And how do we communicate these risks in a way that cuts through technical jargon and reaches people at a human level?  That's why today's episode will explore:  How extreme weather is already testing the systems we rely on;  Why recent climate events, such as heatwaves and wildfires, reveal critical gaps in preparedness and accountability;  And why human stories about the impacts of climate change might be the most powerful way to communicate the risks and galvanize action.     ----------------  To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr  For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate  If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com   ------------------  Today's Speaker David Shukman is a celebrated journalist, author, and broadcaster who spent nearly four decades at the BBC, including nine years as its first Science Editor.

Jason “Wee Man” Acuña is one of the most recognisable faces from Jackass, the MTV show and movie franchise that changed comedy, skateboarding, stunts and chaos forever.But before Jackass, before the movies, before people were shouting “Wee Man's here!” in the streets of Japan, Jason was a skater from California who found his name, his confidence and his community through skateboarding.In this episode of Origin Story, Wee Man sits down with David McIntosh to talk about the real story behind Jackass.We talk about how he got the name Wee Man, growing up with dwarfism, becoming part of Big Brother magazine, the formation of Jackass, the early days of doing insane stunts for barely any money, the friendship between the crew, Ryan Dunn, Bam Margera, fame, Hollywood, money, sobriety, skateboarding, and why Jackass still means so much to people more than two decades later.This is a conversation about more than stunts. It is about finding your own lane, refusing to imitate anyone else, staying true to yourself, and building a life around fun, friendship and chaos. This is Jason “Wee Man” Acuña's Origin Story.

Summer Skincare Masterclass: Sunscreen, Retinoids, and Simple Routines with Dr. Troy Jackson Host Jason Wright and Dr. Troy Jackson discuss practical summer skincare focused on sun protection, simple routines, and long-term aging. Jackson explains intrinsic vs. extrinsic skin aging, emphasizing cumulative UV exposure as a primary driver and recommending daily sunscreen on face, ears, and neck, plus reapplication about every two hours (more often with chemical sunscreens or water exposure). He contrasts chemical sunscreens with mineral options like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, noting mineral products are commonly used for children. They address vitamin D concerns, tanning oils and beds, spray tans, and when to see a dermatologist using the “ugly duckling” mole concept. Jackson outlines a basic routine: gentle cleanser, moisturizer (avoiding fragrances/colorants), morning sunscreen, and nighttime retinoids/retinol with guidance on strength progression. They also cover diet, alcohol's aging effects, collagen, antioxidants including vitamin C and glutathione, and lifestyle factors like exercise, sauna, recovery, and avoiding extremes. 00:00 Summer Skincare Kickoff 03:01 Why Sunscreen Matters 07:22 Chemical vs Mineral Sunscreens 09:50 Vitamin D vs Sun Protection 11:54 Where to Apply Sunscreen 17:41 Reapplying and Beach Basics 19:04 Tanning Oils and Beds 23:15 Skin Checks and Warning Signs 25:25 Kids Skincare and Social Media 29:43 Simple Routine and Retinoids 32:03 Retinoid Dermatitis Tips 33:16 Budget Skincare Basics 35:18 Gentle Cleansing Rules 38:09 Moisturizers and Irritants 40:59 Retinoids by Age 43:24 Collagen Facts and Food 46:36 Diet for Better Skin 48:42 Alcohol and Skin Aging 50:21 Glutathione Explained 53:18 Sweat Sauna and Recovery 55:30 Ozempic Face and Extremes 58:44 80 20 Health Mindset 01:00:52 Wrap Up and ResourcesVisit Authentic Health Clinic

David Shukman, Writer, Broadcaster and Former BBC Science Editor, talks to Paul Adamson about his new book 'The Response: A Story of Fire and Flood in Britain's New World of Extremes'.

Happy Regular Guy Friday! On this RGF-lite we talk what it really means to be "average"—and whether average is something we should be trying so hard to avoid in the first place. We talk growing up in a world that celebrates valedictorians and high achievers, while often overlooking the people who simply show up, work hard, and live good lives. How the tortoise sometimes catches the hare, why effort can matter more than natural talent, and whether being "AVG" might not be the insult we think it is. We talk the summers of the '80s—blockbuster movies, miniature golf, and a driver's license were enough to make life feel full. How those simpler moments shaped us, and why they still have a way of bringing us back. We talk hoarder houses, work ethic, the Founding Fathers, Back to the Future, methheads with hearts of gold, and why maybe life isn't about being the smartest person in the room—it's about showing up, staying curious, and keeping a sense of humor along the way.

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, … “Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for My Name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. … If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household. So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:5a, 21-24, 25b-31)

Welcome to "Travel to Listen," a new Unpacked series hosted by veteran music journalist Tim Chester. Over four episodes rolling out every other week, Tim takes us into the cities where music is more than entertainment—it's the shortcut to a place's soul. This week, he heads into the high desert of Southern California to find out why the Mojave has been spawning some of rock's most original sounds for decades. Along the way, he discovers a landscape that's every bit as wild and inspiring as the music it produces. In this episode What “desert rock” actually means—and how the Mojave Desert's extreme heat, isolation, and silence forged a uniquely sun-baked, heavy sound that's impossible to replicate anywhere else The family tree of the genre: from Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age to Fu Manchu and a sprawling network of bands centered around Joshua Tree and 29 Palms The Mojave Experience, a two-day desert rock festival organized by Patrick Brink of the band Volume—and his plans to bring it back bigger next year Why the California desert has drawn musicians, filmmakers, and creatives for decades: from Gram Parsons' storied final days—and why Roc Gardner left New York to build a creative retreat called Escape in the desert Where to go and what to do: Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, Pappy & Harriet's, generator parties under the stars, and why the area rewards a few slow days off the beaten path Meet this week's guests Patrick Brink is the frontman of Volume, a desert rock band from 29 Palms, California. He organized the Mojave Experience, a two-day desert rock festival featuring Kyuss alumni and scene veterans, and plans to bring it back bigger in spring 2027. Roc Gardner is a songwriter, entrepreneur, and the founder of Escape, a creative retreat for musicians, artists, filmmakers, and thought leaders set on the high desert outside Joshua Tree. A former New Yorker, Roc has hosted everyone from Usher to the Arctic Monkeys since opening. Guest host Tim Chester is a freelance travel and culture writer who has spent the past 20 years exploring the world through the lens of music. His reporting has appeared in NME, Spin, and Afar, and his travels have taken him from Manhattan to Malawi and Beijing to Berlin in search of the festivals, scenes, and stories that reveal a city's soul.

Most of the key spots are within easy reach of the town of Joshua Tree or 29 Palms. Here's how to do it like a fan. Start here: the essential stops Joshua Tree National Park—a designated Dark Sky Park and one of the most visually distinctive landscapes in North America, where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet. Hike, climb, and stay after dark for the stars. Pioneertown—an original 1940s cowboy movie set built by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, still largely intact and walkable. The Integratron—a dome-shaped structure built by UFO enthusiast George Van Tassel in the 1950s. Book a sound bath and let the acoustics do their work. Giant Rock—one of the largest freestanding boulders in the world, a sacred site for the Serrano people and a legendary UFO gathering spot in the 1950s. Earthless played an immense show here. It's on YouTube. Hear live music Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace—the legendary honky-tonk saloon and music venue a mile outside Pioneertown. Paul McCartney has played here. Capacity: 300 inside, 1,000 outside. If anyone serious is touring through the desert, they're playing Pappy's. Local Show on Z107.7—Pat Kerns curates a two-hour showcase of local desert bands every Sunday on the area's community radio station: folk, punk, spaced-out psychedelia, and everything in between. The Mojave Experience—Patrick Brink's desert rock festival, planned to return in spring 2027. Check the website for lineup and dates. Stay and create Escape—Roc Gardner's creative retreat for musicians, artists, and anyone looking to swap city static for desert silence.

Go a little deeper Desert rock playlist—check the show notes for a curated playlist featuring Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Volume, Earthless, and more. Load it up for the drive in. Gram Parsons shrine—the small shrine behind a rock in Joshua Tree National Park, marking where rock's greatest cosmic cowboy spent his final days. Worth finding if you know where to look. Generator parties—informal outdoor concerts powered by generators, a desert tradition going back decades. Check local listings for upcoming shows, especially in fall and winter.

In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most pervasive and underappreciated cognitive patterns I see across ROGD families: black-and-white thinking. It's the tendency to categorize everything in terms of two mutually exclusive extremes — all or nothing, perfect or ruined, success or failure — with no middle ground.I explain how this pattern is a normal feature of adolescent brain development, but becomes significantly amplified in kids with ADHD, autism, OCD, or anxiety — conditions that are highly comorbid with gender identity distress. I walk through real-world examples of how this thinking shows up in everyday family life, from refusing to go on a trip because homework isn't finished, to concluding that body discomfort during puberty means something is fundamentally wrong and must be medically corrected.I also explore how excessive screen use creates a vicious feedback cycle that stunts emotional intelligence and body awareness, leaving teenagers even more stuck in binary thinking. From there, I offer practical tools for parents: thinking out loud to model nuanced reasoning, scaffolding executive functioning through backward planning, and using "parts language" to help teens recognize and hold contradictory feelings simultaneously. I close by connecting all of it back to the gender question — because the same cognitive skill that helps a teen tolerate ambiguity in one area is the skill that can eventually let them hold space for uncertainty about their own identity.This solo episode doubles as a bonus lesson in ROGD Repair.

We don't have conversations anymore. We have extremes. From body positivity and Ariana Grande to trad wife culture and social media bans for kids, I'm asking the question nobody wants to answer: who actually benefits when nuance dies?

Send us Fan MailRay Zahab didn't grow up as the unstoppable endurance athlete people imagine when they hear “ultramarathoner” and “explorer.” He describes starting over around age 30, quitting a pack-a-day smoking habit, and following his younger brother into the outdoors until movement turned into purpose. That path eventually leads to one of the most jaw-dropping feats in endurance sports: running the length of the Sahara Desert, roughly 7,500 kilometers, day after day for 111 days.We get into what actually makes extreme endurance possible when the novelty wears off. Ray explains why removing expectations can unlock performance, how preparation and process beat bravado, and why he's careful about choosing expedition teammates who can leave ego at the door. He also shares how the “chosen hardship” of races and expeditions helped him face something he didn't choose at all: a rare blood cancer diagnosis and months of chemotherapy, approached with the same step-by-step resilience he learned outdoors.The episode goes deep on logistics and safety, from cutting pack weight for a self-contained Atacama Desert crossing to building a polar bear perimeter alarm system on Arctic sea ice. You'll hear what it means to respect the environment, when to turn around even after huge effort, and how Ray's nonprofit impossible2Possible brings free, education-driven expeditions to youth ages 16 to 21 around the world.If you're into ultrarunning, adventure racing, expedition planning, mental toughness, or simply changing your life through movement, this conversation will stick with you.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  These days all kinds of “spiritual authors” have all kinds of books about “spiritual laws.” However, most people mix and match “laws” that tend to validate their model of reality. In this episode I quickly cover the “Seven Cosmic Laws” brought to the world by Hermes Tresmegistus and though the laws were just published around 100 years ago, the manuscript is believed to be over 10,000 years old. These are the laws that govern as laws and as you're listening to this episode you'll find two things: one, it will be obvious why your life has unfolded in the way that it has and secondly, you'll start to see just how powerful you are. The Seven Cosmic Laws are known as Hermetic Wisdom and in this episode I lay out all seven for you.The Laws…1. The Principle of Mentalism:The All is mind; The Universe is Mental.2. The Principle of Correspondence:As above, so below; as below, so above. As within, as without; as without, so within.3. The Principle of Vibration:Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates.4. The Principle of Polarity:Everything is dual; Everything has poles; Everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same;Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet; All truths are but half-truths;All paradoxes may be reconciled.6. The Principle of Rhythm:Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall; The pendulum swing manifests in everything; The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; Rhythm compensates.7. The Principle of Cause & Effect:Every cause has its effect; Every effect has its cause; Everything happens according to law' Chance is but a name for law not recognized' There are many planes of causation,but nothing escapes the law.8. The Principle of Gender:Gender is in everything; Everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all planes. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Our lives are governed by cosmic laws and when we know these laws we then have the “scepter of power.” Mentioned Resources: The Kybalion The Secret Of The Ages by Robert Collier Episode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Building Beyond Aesthetics in the Twin Cities Residential architecture in the Twin Cities requires a unique blend of grit and intentionality. From the “Scandinavian tradition” of high-level craftsmanship to the technical demands of a 115-degree annual temperature swing, designing in this environment is an exercise in functional resilience. This conversation explores how extreme climates and a “Midwest mindset” shape the way we live and the ways homes must evolve to meet the needs of multi-generational families. The following conversation I had with PKA Architecture's Kristine Anderson, Andrew Edwins and Ryan Fish was wide ranging and dove deep into; Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation The Architecture of Endurance In the heart of the Twin Cities, architecture is less about making a statement and more about surviving a cycle. To design a home in Minnesota is to engage in a high-stakes negotiation with physics. When the mercury drops to -15°F and climbs to 100°F within the same calendar year, materials don’t just sit there—they breathe, swell, and contract at a cellular level. As the team from PKA Architecture notes, this environment serves as a rigorous training ground. If a design can thrive in the Twin Cities, it possesses the technical “confidence” to perform anywhere in the world. This technical necessity has birthed a culture of craftsmanship that distinguishes the region. Rooted in Scandinavian cabinet-making traditions, local builders and architects push one another toward a level of precision where “half-assing” is not an option—the weather simply won't allow it. It is a pragmatic form of beauty where the “Midwest mindset” rejects the flashy labels of coastal luxury in favor of quiet, intentional excellence. Moreover, the modern home is being asked to do more than provide shelter; it is becoming a flexible vessel for the human lifecycle. The conversation highlights a significant shift toward long-term master planning. Homeowners are increasingly looking ten years down the road, asking how a space can adapt to adult children returning home or elderly parents moving in. By moving away from the “phantom buyer” of resale-focused design, architects are helping clients create homes that are deeply personal and functionally resilient. Whether it is through the seamless integration of invisible technology or the preservation of “ritual spaces” for calm, the goal remains the same: making life easier for those who inhabit the space, one season at a time. Resiliency as a Design Requirement: Extreme temperature swings expose construction flaws quickly, leading to a local culture that prioritizes performance and durability over surface-level trends. The Intentionality of “Midwest Modern”: A pragmatic approach to design that rejects “excess” but holds craftsmanship—rooted in the region’s Scandinavian heritage—to an incredibly high standard. Life Beyond the “Phantom Buyer”: A shift toward designing for the current inhabitant's actual life rather than future resale, including planning for multi-generational living and aging in place. Integrating Technology Naturally: Embracing technology as a design layer—such as half-inch recessed lighting—that enhances daily life without overwhelming the home’s aesthetic. Materiality and the Seasons: The “one-year seasonal change” is a standard expectation in local construction, allowing wood and metal to settle through the intense humidity shifts of the Midwest.

We interviewed ESPN Baseball Reporter Alden González for a deep dive into the state of the Miami Marlins. But first, we get into Alden's Miami upbringing, his baseball background, growing up a Marlins fan, and how he got into writing.Then it's all Marlins: we break down Alden's new ESPN feature, “Miami Marlins Going to Extremes to Fix the Franchise,” and what it reveals about the organization's push to become the most cutting‑edge team in baseball. We dig into whether this front office believes the current roster can truly compete, why Gabe Kapler's “we have no choice” quote matters, and whether Peter Bendix's talent‑maximizing moves — Stowers, Norby, Snelling, Marsee — represent real cornerstone pieces or just volume swings.We also tackle the constant comparisons to the Rays, the frustration in the fanbase, and the big question: what's the realistic timeline for the Marlins to return to Wild Card contention and eventually challenge for the NL East?

**In this solo episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we return to Eric Hobsbawm's magisterial overview of the 20th century, *Age of Extremes*, to explore the paradoxes that shaped our world – and the crisis that defines our present.**Hobsbawm argued that the "short twentieth century" – from 1914 to 1991 – was defined by the confrontation between capitalism and communism. But the relationship between these two systems was stranger than simple opposition. The victory over Hitler's Germany was essentially won, and could only have been won, by the Red Army. Without the Soviet Union, the Western world would likely consist of a set of variations on authoritarian and fascist themes, not liberal parliamentary ones.Yet the most lasting result of the October Revolution was to save its capitalist antagonists – by providing the incentive of fear to reform itself after the Second World War, and by furnishing it with the popularity of economic planning. The post-war Golden Age (1947–73) – that unprecedented era of rising living standards, mass consumption, generous welfare states, and growing life expectancy – was, in Hobsbawm's word, "anomalous". It emerged from specific historical conditions: the need to stave off communist challenge, the availability of cheap energy, and the destruction of old ruling classes.That Golden Age is now long gone. Neoliberalism has de‑industrialised the West, privatised public assets, and replaced productive capitalism with rentier capitalism – where we rent the infrastructure of our own lives back from global capital. Social democratic parties across the Western world have abandoned any commitment to redistribution, embraced managerialism, and collapsed into irrelevance. Right‑wing populists – Trumps, Orbáns, Farages – have rushed into the vacuum, offering not solutions but the spectacle of permanent crisis.Hobsbawm died in 2012, but his framework helps us see our moment: an era of decay, of institutional collapse, of centre‑left parties dying. As Gramsci put it, the old is dying and the new cannot be born. And that new may not be born in Europe or America. The centre of gravity is shifting eastwards – to India and China – returning to where most of human history has been centred.We are living through the death of the post‑war social democratic order. What comes next is uncertain – but it will not look like the past.**Topics covered:**- Hobsbawm's "short twentieth century"- The Red Army and the defeat of Nazism- The paradox of Soviet communism saving capitalism- The post‑war Golden Age (1947–73) as an anomaly- De‑industrialisation and the rise of rentier capitalism- The collapse of social democratic parties- Neoliberalism, the 2008 crisis, and the absence of alternatives- Right‑wing populism and kleptocracy- The shifting global centre of gravity to Asia---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Are you pushing yourself to the brink of burnout in pursuit of the superhuman entrepreneur ideal? In this episode of The Entrepreneur DNA, host Justin Colby sits down with behavioral health specialist Rachel Harvest to break down the toxic side of perfectionism and how to find true balance. Throughout this deep dive, Rachel explains why high achievers often fall into the trap of extreme dieting, caffeine dependency, and emotional suppression. You will learn about the wise mind, a powerful combination of logic and emotion that allows for better decision making and sustainable growth. The conversation covers everything from the physical toll of caffeine on your adrenals to the psychological roots of binge behaviors and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. — Rachel also introduces the concept of orthorexia, an obsession with healthy eating that can actually become harmful, and explains why your day actually starts the moment you go to sleep. Whether you are struggling with the pressure to be perfect or looking for a more functional approach to your nutrition and mental health, this episode provides a roadmap for responding to life rather than just reacting to it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why “being healthy” can become harmful when it turns into perfectionism How caffeine can become a performance crutch instead of a ritual Why entrepreneurs often mistake burnout for discipline The difference between logic mind, emotion mind, and wise mind How binge behaviors often start with judgment and restriction Why extreme routines can be a sign of nervous system stress How your “why” drives almost every habit you have Why discernment may be the real superpower for high performers —- About Justin: Justin Colby is the host of The Entrepreneur DNA and The Science of Flipping podcasts and a best-selling author.
