Podcasts about family ties

[School of Movies 2025] Teenager from 1985 accidentally winds up in 1955 and meets his parents as teenagers, endangering his very existence. Bob Zemekis and Bob Gale made time travel immense and exhilarating, yet fun, intimate and personal, wisely choosing to focus (in a way that was rare at the time) on the everyboy hero's family relationships. And to illustrate quite how the alchemy of casting and crew was so key, they got several weeks into the original shoot with a completely different actor for Marty McFly. Things only finally clicked into place when Eric Stoltz exited the project and Michael J. Fox entered the scene, simultaneously filming day-shoots of the sit-com Family Ties. Three of the greatest movies ever made, and perennial occupants of my most beloved top spots, Back to the Future, both as a trilogy, and as a stand-alone film is so close to perfect that it can be rounded up to perfect with minimal argument. It has been fifteen years since I first recorded a show on each of these, and more than any other previous show, they were in desperate need of a revisit. Guest: Jesse Ferguson @TheDapperDM from the Recorded Tomorrow Podcast Those early Digital Gonzo shows can be found on the School of Movies Archive podcast feed. They are rough as hell, amateur hour on my part and each barely breaks the sixty minute mark. The best bits of all of them are featured at the end of each of these three new shows. Many thanks to my vintage guests, Nikki Taylor and Giles Thomas

Go behind the scenes of two iconic roles — and the wild ride in between — as Michael J. Fox joins longtime collaborator and co-author Nelle Fortenberry to discuss their new book, Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum. In the early months of 1985, Michael J. Fox did the impossible: starring in Family Ties by day, and filming Back to the Future by night. These two leading roles established him as a towering talent — Family Ties' Reagan-loving, tie-wearing teenager Alex P. Keaton defined a generation of TV viewers with his quick wit and conservative swagger, while Back to the Future's Marty McFly became a cinematic archetype: instantly recognizable, charismatic, and endlessly enduring in popular culture. The result was a time-bending stretch of work that would define Fox's career. Told with all of Michael J. Fox's warmth, wit and self-awareness, Future Boy is the untold story of that unprecedented time — and of the creative energy, ambition, and joy that fueled both projects. Don't miss this special conversation with Fox and Fortenberry as they revisit those extraordinary months and share insights and reflections on an unforgettable moment in entertainment history.

Transcript:Sr: Милан је гледао кроз прозоре таксија док су дрвећа дуж улице Почетни отвор прикладни дочек припремила му је листопадна природа.En: Milan was looking out the taxi windows as the trees along Ulica Početni Otvor created a fitting welcome, prepared by the deciduous nature.Sr: Београд је био нов, али истовремено познат, попут сећања које се постепено враћа.En: Belgrade was new, yet simultaneously familiar, like a memory gradually returning.Sr: Посета Музеју Николе Тесле била је симбол његове потраге за сопственим коренима, и водич ће бити његова рођака Јасмина.En: Visiting the Nikola Tesla Museum symbolized his quest for his own roots, and his guide was to be his cousin Jasmina.Sr: Унутар музеја, зидови су причали своје приче.En: Inside the museum, the walls told their stories.Sr: Експонати, са својом сложеношћу и иновацијом, били су потсетници на Теслину генијалност, али истовремено и на богато наслеђе културе којој Милан припада.En: The exhibits, with their complexity and innovation, were reminders of Tesla's genius, but also of the rich heritage of the culture to which Milan belongs.Sr: Јасмина је чекала у предворју.En: Jasmina was waiting in the foyer.Sr: Била је висока, с енергичним очима које су одавале њену страст према раду.En: She was tall, with energetic eyes that revealed her passion for her work.Sr: Осмехнула се када га је угледала.En: She smiled when she saw him.Sr: "Добродошао, Милане.En: "Welcome, Milan.Sr: Радујем се што ћу ти показати наш свет.En: I'm excited to show you our world."Sr: "Док су шетали кроз изложбу, Јасмина је филмски водила причу о Теслином животу.En: As they walked through the exhibition, Jasmina narrated Tesla's life story as if it were a film.Sr: Од прича о његовом родном Смиљану до временâ проведених у Америци, Милан је упијао сваки детаљ.En: From tales of his birthplace, Smiljan, to his times spent in America, Milan absorbed every detail.Sr: Било му је чудно како му је све звучало тако познато, а опет далеко.En: It was strange to him how everything sounded so familiar yet distant.Sr: Милан је почео да поставља питања.En: Milan began to ask questions.Sr: "Јецо, шта знаш о нашој породици?En: "Jeco, what do you know about our family?Sr: Колико смо повезани са Теслом?En: How are we connected to Tesla?"Sr: " Јасмина је на тренутак застала, нескривено изненађена његовим питањем.En: Jasmina paused for a moment, clearly surprised by his question.Sr: Ипак, осетила је дужност да делује као мост између прошлости и садашњости.En: Still, she felt the responsibility to act as a bridge between the past and present.Sr: "Наши пра-пра-бабе и деде су били из истог краја.En: "Our great-great-grandparents came from the same region.Sr: Тесла је можда импрегнирао разне генерације својом посвећеношћу и наслеђем, а и ми, на неки начин, носимо тај дух у себи.En: Tesla might have inspired various generations with his dedication and legacy, and we, in a way, carry that spirit within us."Sr: "Како је прича одмицала, достигли су део музеја са експонатима који приказују Теслине изуме.En: As the story progressed, they reached a part of the museum featuring exhibits displaying Tesla's inventions.Sr: Ту, уз мирис старог века и звиждук електричног спектакла, Милан је осетио нешто више.En: There, with the scent of an old era and the whistle of an electric spectacle, Milan felt something more.Sr: Била је то искричава веза са прошлошћу, са свим оним што је било уграђено у његове стране ДНК.En: It was a sparkling connection with the past, with all that was embedded in his DNA.Sr: Осетио је припадност.En: He felt a sense of belonging.Sr: На излазу, Милан се окренуо према својој рођаки.En: Upon leaving, Milan turned to his cousin.Sr: "Хвала, Јасмина.En: "Thank you, Jasmina.Sr: Ово је било више од обичне посете музеју.En: This was more than just a museum visit.Sr: Вратићу се.En: I'll be back."Sr: "Јасмина је узвратила осмех.En: Jasmina returned his smile.Sr: Веза коју су стекли заједничким причама и сазнањима била је снажнија од било ког рода.En: The bond they had formed through shared stories and knowledge was stronger than any kinship.Sr: "Наравно, следећи пут ћемо истражити остатак града.En: "Of course, next time we'll explore the rest of the city.Sr: Београд је пун тајни које чекају нас.En: Belgrade is full of secrets waiting for us."Sr: "Док су корачали ка излазу, свако је носио ново знање и топлину породичне ауре.En: As they walked towards the exit, each carried new knowledge and the warmth of a familial aura.Sr: За Милана, ово путовање било је искуство које ће носити дубоко у срцу.En: For Milan, this journey was an experience he would carry deeply in his heart.Sr: Јесен у Београду оставила је свој траг, а двоје рођака, сада ближи него икад, спремни су да крену у нове авантуре.En: Autumn in Belgrade had left its mark, and the two cousins, now closer than ever, were ready to embark on new adventures.

As the One who organized marriage, the Lord takes the covenant of marriage seriously. Though He told Israel NOT to marry-foreign women. Though He told Israel NOT to divorce the bride of their youth. Israel still defied His commands & married foreign woman & divorced the brides of their youth. Join us for our sermon "When Family Ties Sever," from Malachi 2:10-17, where we'll hear the prophet Malachi prophesy God's covenant with His people.

Their jams are simply exquisite, and Ben drives this forward motion with his unique style on bass guitar.  Pigeons' eighth album, Feed The Fire is out now, and they're headed out on their Fall tour — catch them while you can!Ben is super thoughtful and a gentle and kind soul, and he talks to me about growing up a shy kid in Baltimore — and we discuss how Ben's unique (some may say unorthodox) style of playing has shaped the Pigeons signature sound. Ben is quite literary and very well read and we go down that rabbit hole a bit… with his love of Physics mixed in just for fun.Ben also talks to me about mental health and some of the challenges he faces. He's super open with a striking and honest self-awareness that is utterly refreshing.  This is an epic conversation with this talented artist, and I can't wait to share this one with you.=======================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:38  Introducing Ben Carrey07:17 Celebrating the New Album and Touring Experiences10:21 Collaboration with The Infamous Stringdusters13:15 Exploring Musical Influences and Techniques 16:08 Fretless Bass and Its Unique Qualities 19:10 Cultural Connections and Personal Reflections 22:11 Musical Relationships and Band Dynamics 25:03 The Science of Music and Connection 28:10 Growing Up and Family Ties 33:35 Nostalgia and Family Connections 35:39 The Power of Solitude and Self-Discovery 36:42 Literary Influences and Early Interests 39:38 The Fascination with Physics and Quantum Mechanics 43:49 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 45:29 The Magic of Music and Sound 48:11 Musical Beginnings and the Journey to Bass 54:04 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Performance 55:46 Mental Health Challenges and the Music Industry 59:40 Finding Balance and Support in Music 01:04:03 Connecting with the Audience and Personal Growth 01:06:18 The Power of Connection and Community 01:08:36 Psychedelics and Mental Health 01:13:52 The Journey of Self-Discovery 01:17:31 The Significance of 'Hit the Ground Running' 01:20:27 Collaborative Evolution in Music 01:24:45 The Impact of Live Performances 01:27:51 Dome Fest and New Beginnings 01:31:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Festivals=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

it's a part of us.Sr: Овде смо одрасли.En: We grew up here.Sr: Отац није ово оставио да се распродамо.En: Father didn't leave it for us to sell off."Sr: "Тишина је испунила собу, али је Јелена наставила.En: Silence filled the room, but Jelena continued.Sr: "Сећате ли се како нам је причао о дивовима и витезовима?En: "Do you remember how he told us stories about giants and knights?Sr: Како смо седели испред камина и смејали се његовим причама?En: How we sat in front of the fireplace and laughed at his tales?"Sr: " Смех и сузе преплавиле су њено лице.En: Laughter and tears filled her face.Sr: Милош је стајао нем, присећајући се тих тренутака.En: Miloš stood silent, reminiscing about those moments.Sr: Вук је оставио свој глас, гледајући сестру с невероватним погледом.En: Vuk remained speechless, looking at his sister with disbelief.Sr: Тихи глас му је променио тон.En: A quiet voice changed his tone.Sr: "Можда постоји начин да све ово сачувамо, баш као у причама које нам је отац говорио.En: "Maybe there's a way to preserve all this, just like in the stories Father told us."Sr: "Милош је осетио топлину која се пробудила у њему.En: Miloš felt a warmth awaken within him.Sr: Био је то почетак нечега новог.En: It was the beginning of something new.Sr: Од тог тренутка обећао је себи да ће боље слушати своју браћу и сестре.En: From that moment, he promised himself to listen better to his siblings.Sr: Вук је схватио да породичне везе могу толико тога пружити.En: Vuk realized that family ties could offer so much.Sr: Дочекавши вече, браћа и сестра су се држали за руке, знајући да ће, без обзира на све, породична кућа остати њихов уточиште.En: As evening came, the siblings held hands, knowing that, no matter what, the family home would remain their haven.Sr: Јесењи ветар поново је задувао кроз лишће, али сада је носио мир и разумевање – баш као што је то отац увек желео.En: The autumn wind blew through the leaves once more, but now it carried peace and understanding—just as their father always wanted.

“If you are questioning what I'm doing, then why not get it from the source?” When you've consistently done the work to be one of the best, it's not just the on court respect and praise that is earned, it's how your voice resonates beyond the game and no better example of this than Kevin Durant. In this powerful and candid conversation, NBA superstar Kevin Durant sits down with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor to open up like never before. From his early days in Prince George's County to becoming one of the most dynamic scorers in NBA history, KD reflects on his journey through every team he's played for — the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, and Suns — and what each chapter taught him about loyalty, leadership, and growth. He opens up about overcoming devastating injuries, finding balance off the court, and the evolution of his mindset through success, criticism, and reinvention. He doesn't shy away from the questions surrounding his choices, his direct demeanor on social media and describes how he sees his iconic career vs. how it's viewed by the world. Revealing the darkness he experienced from his injuries to rediscovering the light from his time away from the game, KD's love and appreciation for the camaraderie, the intense competition and the high demands of the sport. He shares how special Olympic moments have been, how winning a championship doesn't define his legacy and lets us in on his bond with players around the NBA, especially Anthony Edwards, who he sees a lot of himself in and compares their relationship to a similar one he shared with the late Kobe Bryant. Durant also talks deeply about family, sharing heartfelt stories about the impact of his mother, Wanda, and his relationship with his father, Wayne, and how thier love and lessons shaped the man he is today. The conversation turns to business and life beyond basketball — from his ventures in media and tech with Boardroom to his vision for empowering the next generation of athletes and creators. And of course, KD keeps it real about being a lifelong Washington Commanders fan — the highs, lows, and that unwavering DMV pride. It's vintage Durant: honest, thoughtful, competitive, and always evolving. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button, like and comment- we love hearing from you Pivot family!

konstverk.En: The trees outside the Nationalmuseum were changing to golden and red hues, as if they themselves were artworks.Sv: Sofia och Linnea gick långsamt genom museets magnifika salar.En: Sofia and Linnea walked slowly through the museum's magnificent halls.Sv: De skulle på en efterlängtad konstutställning.En: They were going to a long-awaited art exhibition.Sv: Sofia älskade konst.En: Sofia loved art.Sv: Det gav henne en känsla av ro och inspiration.En: It gave her a sense of peace and inspiration.Sv: Men den här dagen grumlades hennes glädje av oro.En: But this day, her joy was clouded by worry.Sv: "Linnea, tänk om vi stöter på Albin idag?"En: "Linnea, what if we run into Albin today?"Sv: viskade Sofia.En: whispered Sofia.Sv: Hennes blick flackade i oroliga mönster, speglande de intrikata målningarna omkring dem.En: Her glance flickered in worried patterns, mirroring the intricate paintings around them.Sv: "Du har velat återförenas med honom länge nu, Sofia," svarade Linnea mjukt och la en hand på Sofias axel.En: "You've been wanting to reunite with him for a long time now, Sofia," Linnea replied softly, placing a hand on Sofia's shoulder.Sv: "Kanske är det ett tecken."En: "Maybe it's a sign."Sv: Sofia nickade, men en tyngd vilade kvar i hennes bröst.En: Sofia nodded, but a weight lingered in her chest.Sv: Hennes bror Albin, som hon inte hade träffat på flera år, hade plötsligt dykt upp i hennes tankar denna dag.En: Her brother Albin, whom she had not seen for several years, had suddenly appeared in her thoughts today.Sv: Han bodde utomlands och deras relation hade varit kylig.En: He lived abroad and their relationship had been chilly.Sv: Gamla konflikter låg fortfarande och pyrde under ytan.En: Old conflicts were still simmering beneath the surface.Sv: Som de långsamt vandrade genom utställningen, de njöt av varje konstverk.En: As they slowly wandered through the exhibition, they enjoyed each artwork.Sv: Mitt bland färger och former såg de en bekant gestalt.En: Among the colors and shapes, they saw a familiar figure.Sv: Där stod Albin.En: There stood Albin.Sv: Han såg äldre ut, men de där igenkännande dragen fanns kvar.En: He looked older, but those recognizable features remained.Sv: "Sofia", uppmanade Linnea tyst och knuffade henne försiktigt framåt.En: "Sofia," Linnea urged quietly and nudged her gently forward.Sv: Sofia kände en hemsk blandning av förväntan och rädsla.En: Sofia felt a dreadful mix of anticipation and fear.Sv: Skulle hon säga hej?En: Should she say hello?Sv: Vad skulle hon säga?En: What would she say?Sv: Om han bara ignorerade henne?En: What if he just ignored her?Sv: Men denna plats, dessa konstverk, gav henne mod.En: But this place, these artworks, gave her courage.Sv: Hon satte kurs mot Albin.En: She set a course toward Albin.Sv: "Hej, Albin," sa hon, rösten skakig men tydlig.En: "Hello, Albin," she said, her voice shaky but clear.Sv: Albin vände sig långsamt och såg på henne.En: Albin turned slowly and looked at her.Sv: Blicken mjuknade något, men han såg också förbluffad ut.En: His gaze softened somewhat, but he also appeared astonished.Sv: "Sofia," svarade han till sist.En: "Sofia," he finally replied.Sv: De stod där mitt bland mästerverken, två syskon som delade mer än bara gener.En: They stood there among the masterpieces, two siblings sharing more than just genes.Sv: Orden kom först långsamt.En: The words came slowly at first.Sv: Samtalet blev snabbt uppriktigt och känsloladdat.En: The conversation quickly became sincere and emotional.Sv: Sofia talade om sina känslor, om saknaden och ängsligheten.En: Sofia talked about her feelings, about the longing and anxiety.Sv: Albin berättade om sitt liv utomlands, om varför han hållit sig undan.En: Albin spoke about his life abroad, about why he had stayed away.Sv: Det var svårt.En: It was difficult.Sv: För gamla sår läkte inte omedelbart.En: For old wounds do not heal immediately.Sv: Men där, bland konsten, hittade de en sällsynt gemensam mark.En: But there, among the art, they found a rare common ground.Sv: Insikten om att det som en gång verkade omöjligt att reparera kanske kunde bli helt.En: The realization that what once seemed impossible to repair could perhaps become whole.Sv: När Sofia och Linnea senare den kvällen lämnade museet, vilade ett lugn över Sofia.En: When Sofia and Linnea left the museum later that evening, a calm rested over Sofia.Sv: Hon hade gått igenom en storm av känslor, men hittade ett frö av hopp.En: She had gone through a storm of emotions, but found a seed of hope.Sv: Hennes mod belönades och hon kände sig starkare.En: Her courage was rewarded and she felt stronger.Sv: Människor förändras.En: People change.Sv: Förbindelser kan återuppbyggas.En: Connections can be rebuilt.Sv: Höstens färgglada löv viskade om nya början, och mitt i allt detta, fann Sofia en ny början med sin bror.En: The colorful autumn leaves whispered of new beginnings, and in the midst of it all, Sofia found a new beginning with her brother.

Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en blåsig höstdag i Malmö när Elsa stod vid basen av Turning Torso.En: It was a windy autumn day in Malmö when Elsa stood at the base of Turning Torso.Sv: Hennes blickar vandrade uppåt mot den vridna silhuetten av byggnaden.En: Her eyes wandered upwards to the twisted silhouette of the building.Sv: Hon kände sig både beslutsam och nervös.En: She felt both determined and nervous.Sv: Det var Halloween, och Elsa hade hoppats att denna speciella kväll skulle bryta isen mellan hennes syskon, Lukas och Maja.En: It was Halloween, and Elsa had hoped that this special evening would break the ice between her siblings, Lukas and Maja.Sv: För många år sedan hade en familjekonflikt skilt dem åt, och Elsa hade tagit på sig rollen att försöka föra dem samman igen.En: Many years ago, a family conflict had separated them, and Elsa had taken on the role of trying to bring them together again.Sv: Hon hade fått en idé: en Halloween-upplevelse på Turning Torso där de alla kunde konfrontera sina känslor och kanske en gång för alla lösa sina problem.En: She had gotten an idea: a Halloween experience at Turning Torso where they all could confront their feelings and maybe once and for all solve their problems.Sv: Lukas, alltid den äventyrslystne, kom först.En: Lukas, always the adventurous one, arrived first.Sv: Han var nervös men försökte dölja det med sitt vanliga skratt.En: He was nervous but tried to hide it with his usual laugh.Sv: "Hej Elsa!En: "Hey Elsa!Sv: Är det dags för bus eller godis?"En: Is it time for trick or treat?"Sv: skämtade han och pekade på de pumpor som prydde ingången.En: he joked, pointing at the pumpkins adorning the entrance.Sv: En stund senare dök Maja upp, med sitt blonda hår dansande i vinden.En: A moment later, Maja appeared, her blonde hair dancing in the wind.Sv: Hon såg tveksam ut, men kände Elsas varma välkomnande.En: She looked hesitant but felt Elsa's warm welcome.Sv: "Det är fint här," sa hon och fångade Ellens hand, som i ett tyst hopp om att allt skulle bli bättre.En: "It's nice here," she said, grasping Elsa's hand, as a silent hope that everything would get better.Sv: De tog hissen upp till toppen av Turning Torso.En: They took the elevator up to the top of Turning Torso.Sv: Utsikten var magnifik.En: The view was magnificent.Sv: Malmö spridde sitt glittrande skimmer i natten, dekorerad med Halloween-lampor som fladdrade försiktigt i vinden.En: Malmö spread its glittering shimmer through the night, decorated with Halloween lights flickering gently in the wind.Sv: Men mitt i denna skönhet plötsligt släcktes allt.En: But amidst this beauty, everything suddenly went dark.Sv: Strömmen gick, och de fann sig själva i totalt mörker.En: The power went out, and they found themselves in total darkness.Sv: Hissen stannade.En: The elevator stopped.Sv: Läget var stängt, och de alla tre blev stilla.En: The ride was stuck, and all three were still.Sv: Elsa tog ett djupt andetag.En: Elsa took a deep breath.Sv: Detta var deras chans.En: This was their chance.Sv: "Troligtvis Halloween-andarna," skrattade Lukas svagt, en sarkastisk ton i hans röst, men ingen tog upp hans skämt.En: "Probably the Halloween spirits," Lukas chuckled weakly, a sarcastic tone in his voice, but no one picked up on his joke.Sv: "Ibland undrar jag verkligen vad som hände mellan oss," sa Maja med en mjuk röst.En: "Sometimes I really wonder what happened between us," Maja said softly.Sv: "Vi brukade alltid ha så kul tillsammans."En: "We used to have so much fun together."Sv: Lukas suckade, lättnad i hans ord.En: Lukas sighed, relief in his words.Sv: "Jag önskar att vi hade pratat mer," erkände han.En: "I wish we had talked more," he admitted.Sv: "Jag känner mig ansvarig för allt bråk."En: "I feel responsible for all the fighting."Sv: Elsa öron var öppna.En: Elsa's ears were open.Sv: Tyst och varsamt förde hon diskussionen framåt.En: Quietly and gently, she guided the discussion forward.Sv: Skuggorna dolde deras tårar, men också deras leenden när gammalt groll började smälta bort.En: The shadows hid their tears, but also their smiles as old grudges began to melt away.Sv: Plötsligt återvände ljuset, både i byggnaden och mellan dem.En: Suddenly, the light returned, both in the building and between them.Sv: Utsikten glittrade igen i sina ljus.En: The view glittered again in its lights.Sv: De kände innan de visste det att detta var början på att hela något trasigt.En: They felt before they knew that this was the beginning of healing something broken.Sv: När de gick ner igen, lutade Maja sitt huvud mot Lukas axel.En: As they went down again, Maja leaned her head against Lukas' shoulder.Sv: "Jag är glad att vi kom hit," sa hon tyst.En: "I'm glad we came here," she said quietly.Sv: Elsa kände en ny lättnad.En: Elsa felt a new relief.Sv: Hon insåg att hon inte behövde bära hela världens tyngd på sina axlar.En: She realized she didn't have to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders.Sv: Genom en enkel kväll i Malmö hade ett nytt kapitel öppnats för deras familj.En: Through a simple evening in Malmö, a new chapter had opened for their family.Sv: Tillsammans gick de ut i den höstvindens kyla, starkare och närmare vid varandras sida.En: Together, they walked out into the chill of the autumn wind, stronger and closer by each other's side.Sv: Malmös Halloweenljus blinkade som om de visste att en drake hade tämjts denna natt.En: Malmö's Halloween lights blinked as if they knew a dragon was tamed this night.

Sally Wolf is back in the studio and this time we left cancer at the door. She turned 50, brought a 1993 Newsday valedictorian article as a prop, and sat down with me for a half hour of pure Gen X therapy. We dug into VHS tracking, Red Dawn paranoia, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler, and how growing up with no helmets and playgrounds built over concrete somehow didn't kill us.We laughed about being Jewish kids in the suburbs, the crushes we had on thirty-year-olds playing teenagers, and what it means to hit 50 with your humor intact. This episode is part nostalgia trip, part roast of our own generation, and part meditation on the privilege of being alive long enough to look back at it all. If you ever watched Different Strokes “very special episodes” or had a Family Ties lunchbox, this one's for you.RELATED LINKSSally Wolf Official WebsiteSally Wolf on LinkedInSally Wolf on InstagramCosmopolitan Essay: “What It's Like to Have the ‘Good' Cancer”Oprah Daily: “Five Things I Wish Everyone Understood About My Metastatic Breast Cancer Diagnosis”Allure Breast Cancer Photo ShootTom Wilson's “Stop Asking Me the Question” SongFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Hennes stemme var mild, men hun visste ikke om den nådde Lars i det hele tatt.En: I think... maybe we should talk." Her voice was gentle, but she didn't know if it reached Lars at all.No: Mens de flyttet gamle møbler, kom en uventet samtale i gang.En: As they moved old furniture, an unexpected conversation arose.No: "Husker du da vi pleide å spille gjemsel her oppe?" spurte Astrid, i et forsøk på å lette stemningen.En: "Do you remember when we used to play hide and seek up here?" Astrid asked, trying to lighten the mood.No: Lars lo, en ekte latter.En: Lars laughed, a genuine laugh.No: "Ja, du var alltid den verste til å gjemme deg," svarte han med et glimt i øynene.En: "Yes, you were always the worst at hiding," he replied with a sparkle in his eyes.No: Det skulle til å bli en bedre stemning da han plutselig følte brystet bli stramt.En: The atmosphere was about to improve when he suddenly felt his chest tighten.No: Pusten ble kort og anstrengende.En: His breathing became short and labored.No: Lars kastet fra seg det han holdt og grep etter inhalatoren sin.En: Lars dropped what he was holding and reached for his inhaler.No: Panikk bredte seg.En: Panic spread.No: Astrid så ham stri med pusten og handlet umiddelbart.En: Astrid saw him struggle to breathe and acted immediately.No: "Lars, slapp av. Pust rolig," sa hun, mens hun forsiktig holdt ham oppe.En: "Lars, relax. Breathe slowly," she said, as she gently supported him.No: Mens Lars sakte kom til seg selv, så han Astrids øyne fylt av både bekymring og noe mer – omsorg.En: As Lars slowly came to himself, he saw Astrid's eyes filled with both concern and something more—care.No: "Unnskyld," mumlet han, fortsatt andpusten.En: "Sorry," he mumbled, still out of breath.No: "Jeg trodde ikke... jeg trodde ikke jeg skulle trenge hjelp."En: "I didn't think... I didn't think I would need help."No: "Du har aldri trengt å gjøre dette alene," sa Astrid, stemmen hennes både fast og myk.En: "You never had to do this alone," said Astrid, her voice both firm and gentle.No: De satt seg ned på det støvete loftsgulvet.En: They sat down on the dusty attic floor.No: Solen skinte varmt gjennom et skittent vindu mens de delte minner og drømmer.En: The sun shone warmly through a dirty window as they shared memories and dreams.No: De begynte å forstå at styrke finnes i å gi seg selv lov til å vise sårbarhet.En: They began to understand that strength is found in allowing oneself to show vulnerability.No: Det var et øyeblikk av ekte forbindelse.En: It was a moment of true connection.No: En ny begynnelse for dem begge.En: A new beginning for both of them.No: Som de siste høstbladene som falt ned fra trærne utenfor, falt også mye av den gamle bitterheten bort.En: Like the last autumn leaves falling from the trees outside, much of the old bitterness fell away too.No: Deres familiehistorie var ugjenkallelig, men deres fremtid kunne fortsatt formes.En: Their family history was irrevocable, but their future could still be shaped.No: "Lars, jeg er her.En: "Lars, I'm here.No: Jeg ønsker bare å se deg lykkes," sa Astrid, hennes stemme som en lett bris.En: I just want to see you succeed," said Astrid, her voice like a light breeze.No: Og for første gang forestilte Lars seg sin fremtid med familien bak seg, ikke som hans kritikkere, men som hans støtte.En: And for the first time, Lars imagined his future with his family behind him, not as his critics, but as his support.No: Han innså at selv musikkens skjønnhet kunne bli forsterket med harmoni fra de rundt ham.En: He realized that even the beauty of music could be amplified with harmony from those around him.

The bonds we forge during mountain adventures and shared experiences, especially with family, can profoundly shape us. Explorer and author Mark Jenkins reflects on learning to rock climb in Vedauwoo from his swim Coach, and how those lessons permeated his life and eventually into teaching his own daughters how to climb.  Oak Jones's childhood was defined by keeping pace with his two older brothers. Though their paths have diverged, Oak organized a raft trip, because, he writes, “Relationships, like plants, need fresh water to grow.” Would their flimsy paddles be enough to navigate the Arkansas river?

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.
