For years, I'd listened to my parents—now in their 90s—share stories about their brief time in California during the 1950s when my father was drafted for basic training. As a young Texas couple who had barely left their small hometown, their journey to the Pacific coast represented both a frightening challenge and an incredible adventure. Though I could have flown and reached my destination in hours, I knew that experiencing this meaningful place required the unfiltered perspective that only motorcycle travel provides.If you're fortunate enough to own a motorcycle, you possess not just a vehicle but a gateway to experiences that can't be replicated any other way. The open road awaits with both its challenges and rewards. When you return, you'll carry not just memories of places visited, but of conversations had, kindnesses exchanged, and a deeper understanding of both the world around you and your place within it.

While many hosts focus on the material details of the stays they manage, Sal Bellanger's approach to running her accommodation business, Sanctuary South Stays, is refreshingly unpretentious. Having taken ownership of the former family home of her husband Justin, now known as Nornalup Homestead, in 2018, Sal has since turned this into a haven for lovers of both nature and history. This is a property with a rich familial backstory, encouraging guests to reconnect with one another and with the surrounding landscape in a meaningful way. More recently, Sal and Justin have on the same property opened Sanctuary Train, a considerately equipped tiny home that aims to provide a similar experience for singles and couples, also extending the capacity of Nornalup Homestead if larger families and groups wish to getaway together.

Today's show is brought to you by Acorns. The Not Old Better Show. Acorns. ..I'Acorns makes it easy for everyone to start saving and investing What does it mean to belong? Is home a place, a language, a history—or something else entirely? Caroline Topperman thought she knew. She grew up speaking Polish, knowing her family's deep roots in the country, and believing that moving there with her husband would feel like coming home. But instead of familiarity, she found disconnection. Instead of certainty, she found questions. The result of that search is her stunning new book, Your Roots Cast a Shadow: One Family's Search Across History for Belonging. Caroline's story is not just about her journey—it's about the generations before her who crossed borders and survived wars, about ancestors who built roads in Afghanistan, fought political battles in Poland, and escaped the horrors of World War II. It's about what gets passed down through family stories, and what gets lost in translation. She uncovered letters, documents, and even an entire book her grandfather wrote—one referenced in The Holocaust Museum and Stanford's Hoover Institution. But she also found the gaps, the missing voices, the untold truths. And through it all, she wrestled with a question so many of us face: Do we ever truly find a home, or do we create it? This is an unforgettable conversation about identity, history, and the invisible ties that connect us to our past. If you've ever wondered how much of your family's story shapes who you are today, this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my grandmother—my last living grandparent—to capture her incredible journey through life. From her Italian immigrant roots in coal-mining Pennsylvania to her years as a talented young musician and her marriage to my grandfather, a brilliant physicist and Holocaust survivor, this conversation uncovers a century's worth of history, resilience, and love. These are the kinds of stories that often go untold—but deserve to be remembered.Key Takeaways:Her father was one of 10 children in a coal-mining family in Pittston, PA, and the only one to attend seminary.Despite growing up in humble beginnings, many of her uncles went on to college and professional careers, breaking generational cycles.Her mother's family hailed from Naples, Italy, and she grew up immersed in Italian traditions and strong family ties.Music played a huge role in her youth—she became the pianist for her school assemblies and eventually played in the All-City Orchestra in Philadelphia.She lived through World War II and vividly recalls the day Pearl Harbor was bombed—her younger brother's birthday.She later married Opa (Laszlo), a Hungarian immigrant, physicist, and survivor of religious persecution, whose brilliance and humility left a lasting mark on the family.Personal memories, from roller-skating mishaps to Epcot visits and feeding the dogs behind Grandma's back, make this story uniquely intimate.#TheHumanExperiencePodcast Follow Along:Website: https://www.thehxpod.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehxpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthehxTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehxpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehxpod Donate to The Human Experience PodcastFollow Along on InstagramVisit The WebsiteSend me an email at TheHXPod@gmail.com

He was the Head of the Qajar Imperial Family. Despite Soltan Ali Mirza Qajar being Head of the Qajar Imperial Family, the Qajar claimant to the Sun Throne was the Heir Presumptive Mohammad Hassan Mirza II, son of Soltan Hamid Mirza and grandson of Soltan Ahmad Shah's brother and successor in exile, Mohammad Hassan Mirza Qajar.Kaanoun-e Khanevadegi-e Ghajar (after 1999 Kadjar Family Association also named Qajar Family Association: KFA/QFA) was founded in Tehran under the presidency of Nosrat-os-Saltaneh son of Mozaffar al-Din Shah and Yamin-ed-Dowleh son of Naser al-Din Shah. It was dissolved two years after its founding. In 1999 under the presidency of Prince Soltan Ali Mirza this reconstituted association was brought to life by Prof. Manoutchehr Eskandari-Qajar (Santa Barbara City College) and Leo Barjesteh, who, together with Prof. M. Tehranian (then University of Hawaii), also founded the International Qajar Studies Association, of which Soltan Ali Mirza Qajar was the honorary president.Soltan Ali Mirza was a Barrister at Law from France and resided in Paris, France. He is the author of Les Rois oubliés.Soltan Ali Mirza Qajar died on May 27, 2011, in Paris. Shortly before his death he donated his collection of Qajar manuscripts and photographs to the Qajar Studies and Documentation Centre, housed at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and partly exhibited at the International Museum for Family History in Eijsden, the Netherlands.

Today's episode is unlike any I've ever shared. It's a conversation with my late father, Alan Storey—recorded in 2018, but never meant for the public. After his passing in January 2025, I felt called to revisit this powerful archive of family history, healing, and redemption. While it wasn't originally intended for listeners, I've come to realize that this story holds universal themes worthy of sharing.This is more than a podcast—it's an offering from one generation to the next. We dive into stories from his childhood in a rough Colorado oil town, his battles with addiction, his unlikely healing journey, and the wisdom he earned along the way.

Historian Martha S. Jones was looking through a book one day when she found a section mentioning her grandfather. It referred to her grandfather as white. But in reality, her grandfather’s father was a free man of color, and his mother was born enslaved. This wasn’t the first time her family’s racial identity was questioned, so she started writing down her version of her family’s history. It's that history, and her family's relationship to racial identity, that she explores in her new book The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir. GUEST: Martha S.

More Than a Voice: David Ploss on Resilience, Reconnection, and Finding Love | Conversations with a Chiropractor In this deeply personal and unexpectedly hilarious episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier turns the mic on her producer, voice actor, musician, and longtime friend—David Ploss. Born with a rare condition called hemifacial microsomia, David opens up about his early medical challenges, childhood surgeries, and the emotional toll of growing up "different." But what unfolds is more than a story of resilience—it's a tale of self-discovery, creative expression, viral sea shanties, and an unforgettable high school crush that turns into the love of his life. From TikTok fame to trumpet duets, this is a story about healing, humor, and the unpredictable magic of reconnection. It's also a tribute to Katie—the woman who changed everything.
