Podcasts about family ties

In this episode of the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, I sit down with my cousin Chris Perkins, better known as KNNESS, for a real, unfiltered conversation that blends hip-hop culture, family roots, and a shared love for the outdoors. KNNESS opens up about his journey as a rapper, the grind behind his music, and how staying true to himself has shaped both his sound and his mindset. We also dive deep into his passion for catfishing—breaking down why chasing big catfish gives him the same adrenaline and focus as being in the studio. From late nights making music to long hours on the riverbank, this episode highlights the balance between creativity, patience, and discipline. It's a conversation about staying grounded, honoring where you come from, and proving that you can thrive in multiple worlds while still being authentically you. Learn more about your ad choices.

This powerful exploration of significance challenges us to reconsider how we measure value in our lives. Through the story of Jesse from 1 Samuel 16, we encounter a shepherd from an insignificant town who becomes central to God's redemptive plan. Jesse wasn't famous for his accomplishments—he's remembered simply as David's father, and he wasn't even an exceptional parent by worldly standards. Yet God chose this ordinary man's family line to bring forth both King David and ultimately Jesus Christ himself. The message confronts our tendency to measure importance by worldly standards—appearance, position, wealth, or achievements—when God measures the heart. We're reminded that God doesn't create spare parts; every person has divine purpose. The story of Miep Gies, who sheltered Anne Frank, illustrates how history-changing impact often comes from faithful obscurity. As we approach Christmas, we're invited to see ourselves as God sees us: not as insignificant nobodies, but as beloved children with kingdom purpose. The prophecy in Isaiah 11 about a shoot coming from Jesse's stump reminds us that God specializes in bringing life from what appears dead or diminished. When we feel overlooked or past our prime, we're actually in prime position for God to work—because in our weakness, His strength shines brightest.

Every time, I'm the one holding up things at home.”Zh: 她说完，用筷子拨弄着碗里的饺子，不再看明。En: After speaking, she poked at the jiaozi in her bowl with her chopsticks, no longer looking at Ming.Zh: 明放下了筷子，深吸一口气，正视着莉。他知道这个时刻迟早要来。En: Ming put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and looked Li in the eye. He knew this moment was inevitable.Zh: 他诚恳地说：“莉，对不起，这些年我没有尽到哥哥的责任。我知道你付出了很多，承担了很多。我也很想回家，但是每次想到家里的负担，我觉得无从下手。”En: Sincerely, he said, “Li, I'm sorry I haven't fulfilled my duties as a brother these years. I know you've given and taken on a lot. I also want to come home, but every time I think of the burden at home, I feel lost.”Zh: 花见气氛有些紧张，赶紧插话道：“我们都希望能多一些时间在一起，毕竟今天是冬至，团圆很重要。”En: Hua, sensing the tension, quickly interjected, “We all hope to spend more time together, especially since today is the winter solstice, and reunion is important.”Zh: 明继续说道：“我这次回来就是想告诉你，我会试着改变，更多参与家里的事。我知道不是一句话就能解决的，但我会努力。”En: Ming continued, “I came back this time to tell you that I'll try to change and be more involved with family affairs. I know it can't be resolved in just a few words, but I'll try my best.”Zh: 莉沉默了片刻，然后低声说道：“我也是。我也不该一直埋怨，今后我会尽量放下过去。”En: Li remained silent for a moment, then whispered, “Me too. I shouldn't keep holding grudges; I'll try to let go of the past.”Zh: 在花的调和下，兄妹俩终于冰释前嫌。En: With Hua's mediation, the siblings finally reconciled.Zh: 随着时间的推移，他们的话语渐渐轻松起来，欢声笑语又回到了家中。En: As time passed, their conversation grew lighter, and laughter returned to the house.Zh: 那个夜晚，他们围坐在炉火旁，聊起了小时候的趣事。En: That night, they sat around the stove, reminiscing about childhood fun.Zh: 冬至的夜空，皎洁的月光洒在院子里，覆盖了一层银白色的薄霜。En: Under the winter solstice night sky, the bright moonlight shone in the courtyard, covering it with a layer of silvery frost.Zh: 通过这次坦诚的沟通，明明白了亲情的重要，而莉则学会了宽恕和包容。En: Through this candid communication, Ming understood the importance of family affection, and Li learned about forgiveness and tolerance.Zh: 家人间的那份温暖，在这冬至的夜晚，愈发浓厚。En: The warmth among the family grew even stronger on this winter solstice night.

This powerful message invites us into the messy, complicated family tree of Jesus through the story of Abraham—a man whose faith journey was marked by fear, doubt, and repeated failures, yet who remained central to God's redemptive plan. Through vivid imagery of walking alone in a dark parking lot, we're confronted with a profound truth: fear informs trust, but truth must inform fear. Abraham's story reveals how easily we can operate in ignorance rather than truth, making decisions based on what we assume is happening rather than what God has promised. From lying about Sarah being his sister out of fear for his life, to taking matters into his own hands with Hagar instead of waiting on God's timing, Abraham struggled with trusting God's protection, provision, process, and timing. Yet through 25 years of infertility and waiting, through the unthinkable test on Mount Moriah where he was asked to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham's trials became the foundation for future trust. The genealogy of Jesus includes Abraham not despite his failures but as a testament to God's redemptive power. This Advent season, as we face difficult family gatherings and navigate our own fears, we're reminded that Jesus' arrival proves God is trustworthy—every promise finds its yes and amen in Christ, and our broken trust can be healed by the One who is eternally faithful.

[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.

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.

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

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

This week's episode features Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share this with one with you!!  Pigeons is one of my favorite bands — I absolutely love their brand of rollicking, funky rock. 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

Why Are You Still Watching Family Ties?

Happy Halloween! In today's episode, I share my Halloween plans and the woes of switching out your summer wardrobe in a small NYC apartment. Then, I dive into the ways to approach difficult familial dynamics and generational differences. I share advice on how to give your family grace and how to better set your expectations for family members that you don't see eye to eye with. Lastly, I discuss the important of your chosen family: friends.

“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!

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

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:

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Unraveling Family Ties: A Halloween Reunion at Turning Torso Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-10-24-07-38-20-sv 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?
