Porn. It's something that people use in their most intimate, private moments. It's a way to acknowledge desire — without any of the attachments of intimacy. For some of you, that's incredibly freeing. For others, it's caused some real problems.This episode originally aired in 2016 and was produced by Chester Jesus Soria and Katie BishopIf you have stories about using AI porn, experimenting with deepfakes, or seeing yourself depicted in one, record a voice memo and email it to us at deathsexmoney@slate.com.

Part 1 in the sermon series "FAQ"
Churches today like to be known by some interesting titles: "The Community Church," "The Bible-Believing Church," "The Church Where Love Is," and there are some churches which like to be called (maybe with a note of humor), "The Church of the Covered Dish." Of all the miracles of Jesus recorded in the four gospels, there is only one which we find in ALL FOUR of the gospels - - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Stay with us for a few minutes, and we'll find what that one is. Want a hint? The sermon title for today is "Food for the Hungry."

The campaign had raised $967,774 in 12 days, with a $1 million stretch goal approaching. The collection includes three new books - "Fear Eternal," "Pyres of Bedlam," and "The Dark Descents" - featuring curated out-of-print stories and black and white illustrations. Participants discussed the campaign's structure, pricing tiers, and exclusive features, with concerns about crowdfunding reliability and shipping costs. The group also explored what fans would like to see in the new releases, including more short stories in the style of the Books of Blood and potential film adaptations. The discussion included details about special editions, autograph options, and the possibility of a mystery feature hidden within the books that would be revealed during a streaming event with Clive Barker. Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Update The group discussed the successful Kickstarter campaign for Clive Barker's Library of the Dead project, which has raised $967,774 in 12 days with 6 days remaining when the episode airs. The campaign includes a set of three special edition compilation books, and there is a mystery stretch goal when the project reaches $1 million. The podcast hosts also announced that They Live will be the next commentary discussion, chosen over The Blob as the runner-up. Clive Barker Book Collection Updates The group discussed updates to a Clive Barker book collection project, including expanded content and improved paper quality for the hardcover editions. They confirmed that the $500,000 stretch goal would include additional prologue and illustrations in all five books, though there was some confusion about whether these would be Clive Barker's illustrations. The discussion also covered potential stories to include in the curated collection, including both previously published works and new stories, with participants expressing hope that the collection would focus more on horror-themed content rather than erotic or comedic stories. Clive Barker Crowdfunding Success Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's recent crowdfunding success, where he raised nearly a million dollars in less than a week for new book publications. They discussed various Barker-related works including "The Scarlet Gospels," "Infernal Parade," and "Tortured Souls," with Don suggesting that Phil and Sarah are likely curating complete stories rather than fragments for the new collection. The participants agreed that this success would likely attract Hollywood attention and potentially lead to bidding wars for film rights, given the previous complications with Barker's intellectual property rights. Clive Barker Publications Discussion The group discussed upcoming Clive Barker publications, including three books: Fear Eternal, Pyres of Bedlam, and The Dark Descents. They noted that the first two releases are already finished manuscripts being edited for printing, while the third is still in development. The participants expressed interest in seeing more artwork and poetry included in future publications, with some suggesting that shorter stories from the Books of Blood could be adapted into a Netflix series format. They also discussed the success of the Candyman film adaptation and how execution is key to successful adaptations of Barker's work. Clive Barker's "Library of the Dead The group discussed the naming and details of Clive Barker's new release called "Library of the Dead," speculating that the title connects thematically to the "Books of Blood" series and the character Simon McNeil. They explored the special features of higher-tier editions, including vegan leather covers and unique tactile elements, while discussing the practical challenges of storing and displaying these collectibles. The conversation also touched on the benefits of this release strategy for attracting Hollywood attention and publishers, as well as concerns about crowdfunding trust and the potential limited nature of the special editions. Clive Barker Crowdfunding Discussion The group discussed a crowdfunding campaign related to Clive Barker's work, with participants expressing some skepticism but noting that the authenticity could be verified through existing materials. Jesse, who joined from Patreon, shared that they were interested in seeing a return to horror in the vein of Barker's previous collections like Books of Blood or Tortured Souls. The discussion touched on potential formats for the upcoming "Library of the Dead" project, with comparisons to other horror story collections like R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Clive Barker Book Cover Design The group discussed the cover art for Clive Barker's new book series, with Jose highlighting how the three book covers create a connected triptych design featuring a flow of souls. Don explained that the artistic theme was deliberately chosen to honor Barker's work and connect to historical art motifs, though he expressed some initial concerns about using a different artist instead of Barker's own artwork. The discussion also covered various funding tiers for the project, including a backer group video call with Clive and higher-tier options for one-on-one meetings, with Don revealing he had purchased the highest tier to secure autographed copies. Clive Barker Book Project Planning The group discussed details about a Clive Barker book project on Kickstarter, including confirmation that the books will be sewn with head and tail bands and deckled edges. They noted that the $149 tier includes an invitation to a streaming event with Clive Barker, though they questioned whether it would be suitable for creating a podcast episode. The discussion covered shipping timelines, with higher-tier books expected in March and lower tiers in May, and concerns about potential Canadian order issues due to new tariffs. The group also analyzed the pricing structure, comparing it to other luxury editions and noting that while the autograph tier requires $1,000, it includes additional benefits like a bookcase, and the $2,000 tier for 52 lettered editions sold out quickly. Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Discussion The group discussed a Clive Barker Kickstarter campaign that has raised over $900,000, with participants expressing excitement about the project and potential future releases. Don raised questions about a special hand-drawn illustration offered at the $2,000 tier, wondering if backers could specify the image content. The participants discussed the mystery reward mentioned in the campaign, which involves clues hidden in the books that will be revealed during an invitation-only streaming event with the author. The group also mentioned Phil and Sarah's work on editing and curating the project, and expressed hope that the success of this campaign would lead to more Clive Barker publications in the future. Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Discussion The group discussed their excitement about Clive Barker's new Kickstarter campaign for "Library of the Dead," noting that the first editions and exclusive features would only be available to backers during the campaign. They reviewed the FAQ which confirmed that while retail versions might be released later, they would not include the exclusive collectibles or features offered to Kickstarter backers. The team also discussed their upcoming content plans, including a delayed 1987 commentary on Angel Heart and a Book Club discussion of "Blood Revelations," while expressing gratitude to their Patreon supporters and sponsors.

How AI Helps Doctors: 7 Ways AI Gives Doctors Back Their Time In this episode, Barbara discusses: Barbara Hales names the “invisible second shift”—the unpaid hours physicians spend at home on charts, portal messages, and paperwork—and how it steals time from family and rest. Barbara Hales shares seven practical ways to use AI as an assistant, not a replacement, including ambient scribing, drafting portal responses, summarizing research, and streamlining insurance and administrative tasks. Barbara Hales contrasts two physicians—one using AI and one doing everything manually—to show how saving just 30–60 minutes a day can compound into 120–240 hours a year. Barbara Hales explains how AI can multiply a physician's impact by turning everyday patient questions and explanations into reusable education materials and marketing content that grow the practice without adding more work hours. Barbara Hales insists that doctors must “delegate the task, never delegate the judgment,” emphasizing privacy, safety, and clinical oversight so AI reduces burnout while preserving trust and the humanity of medicine. Key Takeaways: “AI's real power in medicine isn't replacing physicians—it's reclaiming the invisible hours lost to documentation and administration so doctors can be fully present with their patients and in their own lives again.” Connect with Barbara Hales: Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahalesBooks: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales TRANSCRIPTION (245) 7 Ways AI Gives Doctors Back Their Time Chapter 1 — Why Physicians Need Their Time Back Dr. Barbara Hales 00:04 Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Marketing Tips for Doctors. When was the last time you finished seeing your last patient, and you were actually finished for the day? Not finished seeing patients, finished. No charts waiting for you. No patient portal messages. No paperwork you promised yourself you’d finished after dinner. No laptop sitting on the kitchen counter staring at you while your family is doing something without you. If you’re laughing right now, I understand because for many physicians, the workday doesn’t end when the office closes; it just changes location. You go home, have dinner, maybe spend some time with your family, and then out comes the laptop, and somewhere along the way, something happened to medicine. We became doctors because we wanted to take care of people. We did not go to medical school because we had a burning desire to become world-class data entry specialists. We didn’t dream about answering portal messages. We didn’t fantasize about prior authorizations, and I’m fairly certain that when you wrote your medical school application essay, you didn’t say, “My lifelong ambition is to spend more evenings completing documentation, yet here we are, and that is why I want to talk about artificial intelligence today. Not because AI is fashionable, not because everybody is talking about ChatGPT, and certainly not because I think technology should replace physicians. Quite the opposite. I think we need to ask a completely different question: Can technology give physicians enough time back that we can actually be physicians again? Apparently, doctors are beginning to think the answer may be yes. According to the American Medical Association’s 2026 Physician Survey on Augmented Intelligence, 81% of physicians now report using AI professionally. That’s more than double the percentage in 2023. Think about that. In only a few years, AI went from something many doctors viewed with suspicion to something being used in medical practices every day, and here’s another number that really caught my attention: 70% of physicians surveyed by the AMA said they see AI as a tool that can automate tasks contributing to work-related burnout. So today, I’m going to show you seven practical ways physicians can use AI to get some of their time back. But before we get to those seven, I want to talk about what we’re really trying to solve, because the problem is not technology. The problem is time. The invisible second shift. Picture a physician we’ll call Dr. Sarah. Sarah has a busy primary care practice. Her last patient leaves at 515. She gets home around Her husband has dinner waiting. Her daughter sits at the table, telling everyone about something that happened at school. Sarah is listening, sort of, because part of her brain is thinking about the unfinished charts. She knows there are 11 of them, so she eats dinner. She asks her daughter a few questions. She helps clear the table. And then she says the sentence that physician families know all too well. I just have to finish a few charts. She opens the laptop. 8 o’clock becomes nine. Nine becomes 10. Her daughter goes to bed. Sarah finally closes the computer at 1037, and here’s the sad part: nothing particularly unusual happened that day. There wasn’t an emergency. Nobody crashed. There wasn’t a complicated admission. It was simply Tuesday. That story is a composite, but I’ll bet many physicians listening recognize themselves in it. This is what I call the invisible second shift of medicine, and this is precisely where I believe physicians should begin thinking about AI, not with robots, not with futuristic diagnostic machines. Start with what I do every day that doesn’t actually require me to be a physician, because that is where your time is hiding. Let’s begin with the obvious one: documentation. AI-powered ambient scribes can listen to the physician-patient conversation with appropriate systems, safeguards, and consent procedures, and generate a draft clinical note. You review it, you correct it, you approve it. The physician remains responsible, but you’re no longer starting with a blank page. And this isn’t just theoretical. In one medical group study involving 79 providers and more than 25,000 AI-generated notes across 23 specialties, high users of an ambient AI scribe had a 21% decrease in time spent on notes per day. Chapter 2 — AI for Documentation, Inbox, and Patient Education Dr. Barbara Hales 07:26 Even more interesting to me was what happened after work. Before the pilot, about 32% of participating providers reported spending eight or more hours per week documenting outside clinic hours during AI use, which dropped to about 8%. Think about it: 32% to 8%. That’s not just an efficiency statistic. That’s dinner. That’s exercise. That’s reading a book. That’s going to your child’s soccer game. That’s sitting on the couch and doing absolutely nothing and not feeling guilty about it-that is life. Imagine Sarah again. Only now her practice introduces a properly vetted ambient AI documentation system. At first, she’s skeptical. She checks every note carefully, and she should, but gradually something changes. Instead of writing the entire note after the visit, she reviews and corrects a draft. One evening, she gets home. She puts her purse down. She walks into the kitchen, and her daughter looks at her and says, “Mom, where’s your computer? Sarah says, “In my bag. Her daughter looks confused. “Aren’t you going to take it out? And Sarah says, “Nope, I’m done. Now that’s an illustrative story, but that is the outcome we’re talking about. We’re not trying to make physicians type faster. We’re trying to make it possible for physicians to stop typing. Next, the inbox. Ah, yes, the inbox-the place where a message that begins with “Quick question, doctor, occasionally contains 14 questions, three attachments, and a medical History going back to 1987. AI can help draft responses to routine patient communications. Notice the word I used: draft, not diagnose, not independently prescribe, not send medical advice without physician review. Draft. You provide the judgment. AI provides the first pass. The 2026 AMA survey found physicians are already using AI to generate draft responses to patient portal messages; think about the difference between writing 20 responses from scratch and reviewing 20 reasonable drafts. Even saving two or three minutes per message adds up, and there’s another benefit: AI can help you turn a rushed answer into a clear, patient-friendly explanation. You still decide what is medically appropriate, but AI can help you communicate it more efficiently. AI use number three: patient education. Here’s an area I think is enormously underused. How many times have you explained the same thing? What does pre-diabetes mean? Why do I need this medication? What should I expect after this procedure? What does this lab result mean? Why do I need to come back in six months? You explain it Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, and Thursday morning. You’re explaining it again. What if you created a physician-approved library of patient education materials? AI can help you take your explanation and turn it into a one-page handout, a frequently asked questions sheet, a patient-friendly email, a short video script, or instructions written at a more accessible reading level. You review it for accuracy. Then you have something reusable. This is where AI becomes more than a time-saving tool; it becomes a way to multiply a physician’s knowledge without multiplying their hours. Doctor using AI versus doctors who aren’t. Now let’s compare two physicians. Same specialty, same number of physicians, same number of patients, same clinical ability. Doctor A is not using AI. Every note begins from scratch. Every patient handout is created manually, or the staff searches for one. Every portal response is typed individually. Every complicated article takes 20 minutes to read before Doctor A determines whether it matters. Every piece of administrative work begins with a blank page; Doctor B uses AI selectively, and I want to emphasize selectively. AI drafts the note. Doctor B reviews it. AI drafts the portal response. Doctor B corrects and approves it. AI turns the doctor’s explanation into patient education. Doctor B verifies it. AI summarizes a long research article. Doctor B goes to the source before making a clinical decision. Doctor B is not surrendering a medical judgment. Doctor B is eliminating unnecessary friction. That distinction matters because the physician who uses AI appropriately isn’t necessarily practicing medicine faster; they’re spending less time on everything surrounding medicine, and the difference compounds. 10 minutes here, 15. Minutes there, 20 minutes somewhere else. Pretty soon, we’re not talking about minutes anymore. We’re talking about hours. AI used number four, keeping up with medical literature. Here’s another struggle physicians know very well: the literature never stops. Studies, guidelines, drug updates, safety alerts, consensus statements, journal articles. Nobody can read everything. Chapter 3 — AI as a Research Assistant, Not a Doctor Dr. Barbara Hales 15:40 The AMA’s 2026 survey actually found that summarizing medical research and standards of care was the most commonly reported physician use of AI among the specific use cases measured. That tells us something important. Doctors aren’t only looking for help with paperwork; they’re using AI to help manage information overload. Suppose there are six recent papers on a subject relevant to your specialty. Instead of reading every word of every paper, AI can help you identify the research questions, study size, primary outcomes, where the findings agreed, and where they conflicted. What limitations should you pay attention to? Then, and this is critical, you go back to the original evidence when the information will affect patient care. AI becomes the map. It does not become the destination, and that brings us to something every physician listening needs to hear. AI is an assistant, not the doctor. AI can be wrong; it can misunderstand context. It can omit information. It can confidently produce something that sounds wonderful and is completely incorrect. And physicians know something that technology does not possess: clinical judgment. We know the difference between the textbook patient and the human being sitting in front of us. We notice hesitation. We notice fear. We notice when someone says, “I’m fine, while everything about them tells us they’re not fine. Medicine is not simply information. Medicine is interpretation. Medicine is judgment. Medicine is trust. So the goal is not how much medicine can I turn over to AI. The better question is, how much non-physician work can I take away from the physician? That is a very different conversation. In part two, I’m going to show you three more ways to use AI, including one that can help you create weeks of marketing content from something you’re already doing every single day, and I’ll tell you another story. This one is about a doctor who realizes the greatest thing AI gave him wasn’t efficiency. It was something much more valuable. It gave him back a Saturday. So here are seven ways doctors can use AI to get their time back. What would you do with the hours AI gave back? At the end of part one, I told you about a doctor who got something unexpected from AI-a Saturday. Let me explain. The Saturday morning that came back, we’ll call him Dr. Michael again. This is a composite story based on the kinds of workflow problems physicians experience. Michael owns a small specialty practice, and every Saturday morning he has a routine: coffee, laptop, kitchen table. He tells some. He tells himself he’ll work for an hour. It’s almost never an hour. Charts to finish, letters to dictate, patient messages, administrative correspondence, and things he didn’t get to during the week. His wife has learned not to ask when he’ll be finished. One Saturday, after his practice has begun using AI to help with documentation and routine administrative drafting, Michael wakes up. He makes coffee. He walks toward the kitchen table, and there’s no laptop sitting there. He had finished his work Friday. His wife says, “Do you want to go get breakfast? And for the first time in longer than he can remember, he does not say, “Maybe later. He says, “Sure. Now you could look at that and say, “AI saved him three hours. I don’t think that’s what happened. AI gave him back Saturday morning with his wife. We have to stop measuring physician efficiency only in minutes. We need to start measuring it in life. AI used number five insurance correspondence and administrative drafting. Now let’s talk about one of everyone’s favorite subjects: insurance. I can practically hear you groaning. Prior authorizations, appeal letters, medical necessity letters, supporting documentation, repetitive administrative correspondence. This is precisely the kind of structured, repetitive work where AI can assist. A physician or staff member can provide the relevant, privacy-safe information in an approved system and have AI help draft a first version. Then someone qualified reviews it. This isn’t about fabricating an argument. It isn’t about inserting facts that aren’t in the chart. Chapter 4 — Administrative Work, Practice Operations, and Content Dr. Barbara Hales 22:44 It is about organizing legitimate clinical information into the format needed for the task, and this matters because physicians did not train for all those years so that their most limited resource, their time, could be consumed fighting with forums; AI may not make the insurance company say yes. Wouldn’t that be nice? But it may reduce the amount of physician time required to ask the question. AI use number six: practical operations. Here’s one physicians often overlook: AI doesn’t have to touch clinical medicine to be useful. Look around your practice. How many repetitive processes exist? Staff training, frequently asked questions, office policies, meeting summaries, job descriptions, phone scripts, patient reminders, internal checklists, responses to online reviews, ideas for improving scheduling, drafting standard operating procedures. You don’t need a medical AI system to ask, “Help me turn this messy process into a checklist. You don’t need AI making clinical decisions to say, “Here are the five questions patients ask my receptionist every day. Help me draft clear answers. And here’s one I particularly like. At the end of your staff meeting, take your approved, non-sensitive meeting notes and ask AI to organize them into: what did we decide? Who is responsible? What’s the deadline? What needs follow-up? Suddenly, a meeting produces action instead of another meeting. Now we’re talking. AI use number seven. Mark. And patient communication. This one is particularly close to my heart. Doctors tell me, Barbara, I know I should create content. I just don’t have time, and I understand. But here’s what I want you to realize: you are already creating content all day long; you’re just not capturing it. Every patient question is potential educational content. Think about today: how many questions did patients ask you? Should I be worried about this? Is this hereditary? When should I get screened? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? What’s the difference between these two treatments? One idea, multiple assets. Those questions can become a short video, a blog post, a patient email, a special media post, a podcast topic, or an FAQ on your website-you provide the expertise. AI helps you repurpose it. For example, you might say, “Patients ask me this question constantly. Here is the explanation I usually give them. Then dictate your explanation and ask AI. Turn this into a 62nd video script written in my conversational style. Then give me three possible titles. Then turn the same information into a patient email. Then create five short social posts from it. That is where AI can become an extraordinary multiplier for a small medical practice, not because AI becomes the physician’s voice, but because it helps the physician’s real voice travel further. Here’s a story. The patient who finally felt heard. Let me give you one last story. We’ll call the physician Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel has always been the kind of doctor who looks directly at patients when they are speaking. At least she used to be. Then came increasingly complicated documentation requirements, and gradually she found herself doing what so many physicians do: patient talking, doctor typing, patient talking, doctor clicking, patient asking something important, doctor saying, “Give me one second. While finishing a field on the screen, then her practice begins using an ambient documentation tool. She’s still responsible for the note. She still reviews it, but during the encounter, something changes. She turns away from the computer. She looks at her patient, an older woman who has been seeing her for years, and suddenly stops in the middle of the conversation. Doctor Patel asks, “Is there something wrong? The patient smiles and says, “No, I was just thinking how nice it is to see your face again. That story is illustrative, but think about what it represents. We keep talking about AI as though technology will make medicine less human. Used badly, perhaps it could, but what if we use it to do exactly the opposite? What if technology handles more of the machinery of medicine, so physicians have more time for the humanity of medicine? That’s the opportunity that interests me. Now let’s turn to our two physicians, Doctor A and Doctor B. Remember, they started in essentially the same place, same specialty, same patient volume, same clinical competence. Doctor A continues doing everything manually. Doctor B gradually delegates appropriate repetitive work to carefully selected AI tools, not clinical judgment work. Chapter 5 — Reclaiming Time, Using AI Safely, and Staying Human Dr. Barbara Hales 29:57 Doctor B saves a few minutes. Documenting, a few minutes on correspondence, a few minutes researching, a few minutes creating patient materials, a few minutes handling administrative tasks. Let’s be conservative and imagine that adds up to only 30 minutes a day, five days a week. That’s two and a half hours, over roughly 48 working weeks. That’s 120 hours a year. Think of that-a 120 hours, three full 40-hour work weeks, and that’s from saving only 30 minutes per day. If the physician saves an hour, now we’re talking about approximately 240 hours, six work weeks. So ask yourself: What would you do with six weeks of your life? Would you see more patients? Would you leave the office earlier? Would you exercise? Would you finally take the vacation you’ve postponed? Would you have dinner with your family without your laptop? Would you sit with a patient for an extra three minutes instead of watching the clock? Would you grow your practice? Would you create another revenue stream? Would you simply sleep? There isn’t a correct answer. The point is, you get to decide. Start small. If you are listening to this and thinking, Barbara, this sounds great, but I don’t even know where to begin. Don’t begin with seven things. Begin with one. Tomorrow, notice the task that makes you say, “I can’t believe I’m wasting my time doing this again. Write it down. That’s your candidate. Then ask, “Could AI draft this? Could AI summarize this? Could AI organize this? Could AI turn this into a template? Could AI help my staff do this without involving me every single time? You don’t need to transform your entire practice this month. Choose one repetitive task. Get comfortable. Measure whether it actually saves time. Then choose another. That’s how change becomes sustainable. A word about safety. Because we’re physicians, I need to emphasize something very important: convenience does not outrank confidentiality. Don’t copy protected patient information into a public consumer AI tool. Your practice needs to evaluate privacy, security, HIPAA requirements, vendor agreements, accuracy, workflow integration, and appropriate human oversight, and every clinically relevant AI-generated output needs appropriate professional review. Delegate the task, Never delegate the judgment. AI can generate extraordinarily convincing errors. So remember this: delegate the task, never delegate the judgment. That sentence may be the most important thing I say in this entire episode. If today’s episode made you look at your workday differently, do two things. First, choose one task this week that AI might be able to take partially off your plate. Don’t try to revolutionize your entire practice. Just reclaim 10 minutes, and second, subscribe to Marketing Tips for Doctors and share this episode with another physician who is still taking the laptop home every night, because every week on Marketing Tips for Doctors we talk about practical ways to build a stronger, more profitable medical practice without sacrificing the reason you became a physician in the first place. And remember, you’re one tweak away from greatness. AI won’t solve everything that’s wrong with medicine. It won’t eliminate insurance headaches. It won’t fix reimbursement overnight. It won’t replace the judgment that comes from years of training and experience. And I don’t want it to. What I want AI to replace is something very different: the unnecessary hour at the computer, the repetitive letter, the blank page, the administrative task that followed you home, the Saturday morning you were supposed to spend with someone you love, because perhaps the most exciting promise of artificial intelligence in medicine is not artificial intelligence at all. Perhaps it’s giving physicians the time to be More human, and if technology can help us do that, then I think it’s worth paying attention to. I’m Dr. Barbara Hales. Thank you for joining me on Marketing Tips for Doctors. Till next time. The post How AI Helps Doctors first appeared on The Medical Strategist.

True crime has always been entertainment, but social media has turned tragedies like the Lindsay Clancy trial into monocultural moments. It's not enough to read the news, many people who are especially tuned-in are also spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories as part of participating in the larger fandom. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Leah Carroll, a true crime writer and author of the book Down City: A Daughter's Story of Love, Memory, and Murder, to discuss the impact of social media's obsession, and how Leah's own experience with family tragedy informs her perspective on true crime.

What if the thing disqualifying you in your own mind is actually the very place where God wants to grow you? In this episode of UNITED State of Women, Julie Deem sits down with Ally Bird at Global Leadership Summit. Ally is the Chapel Coordinator at Crossroads Learning Corner.Ally shares how stepping into her calling has changed the way she sees her gifts, why empathy and caring can be powerful leadership strengths, and how the people around us can sometimes see potential in us before we see it in ourselves.This is a conversation about influence that doesn't require a title, perfection, or having everything figured out. Sometimes leadership looks like showing up, bringing light into a room, being willing to learn, and allowing yourself to be developed along the way.What You Will Learn:How to recognize when a calling is bigger than your perceived qualifications.Why empathy, caring, and positivity can be powerful leadership gifts.How other people can see potential in us before we recognize it in ourselves.Why being willing to learn and being willing to be wrong are essential for growth.How vulnerability can create deeper and more authentic connections.Why leaders don't have to pretend everything is okay when life is difficult.How to identify patterns that need to change and begin creating new ones.Why a simple morning routine can influence the way you approach your entire day.How choosing joy and positivity can become an intentional leadership practice.How to use the influence you've been given to pour into and develop other people.FAQ:What does it mean to be called to leadership?Being called to leadership does not necessarily mean feeling qualified or having all the knowledge and skills needed from the beginning. A calling can involve stepping into an opportunity, trusting the process, and allowing yourself to grow into the role.How can you recognize your leadership strengths?Leadership strengths can show up in unexpected ways. Empathy, caring, positivity, communication, collaboration, and the ability to encourage others can all become meaningful leadership gifts.Why is vulnerability important for leaders?Vulnerability allows leaders to be authentic about what they are experiencing rather than feeling pressured to pretend everything is okay. Sharing honestly can create deeper connections and help others recognize that they don't have to navigate difficult experiences alone.Thank you Crossroads for hosting Global Leadership Summit in Kokomo and for inviting UNITED State of Women to record live at the conference!!Crossroads Community Church:https://ecrossroads.org/Global Leadership Summit:https://www.globalleadership.org/summitLearn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.

My son fully healed. Every single symptom went away. But when I look back at the first two years of his life, I barely remember them.I was so focused on finding answers, monitoring every symptom, and trying to heal his body that I missed the child right in front of me. I missed two tender years of my daughter's life. I missed two years of my marriage. I lost two years of myself.That is my biggest regret from healing my son, and I am sharing it so you can move through your or your child's healing differently.In this episode, we are talking about how easily healing can become another end goal that consumes your life. You tell yourself you will relax when the rash disappears. You will leave the house when your child feels better. You will play, travel, breathe, and enjoy motherhood once everyone is sleeping again.But your life is happening right now.You can actively support your child's body, address the deeper imbalance behind their symptoms, and remain present for the child in front of you. Their symptoms deserve your attention, but their symptoms are not who they are.I also share how rebalancing supported my own gut-brain connection, sleep, nervous system, and capacity to be present. Because healing is not only about the symptoms that disappear. It's about who you and your child become along the way.Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with Joe Howlett, a science journalist at Scientific American and former astroparticle physicist, to discuss his fascinating transition from experimental physics to science storytelling.Joe takes us inside his former life as a physicist, detailing his PhD research at Columbia University where he hunted for "WIMPs"—the elusive particles thought to make up dark matter. He breaks down the mind-boggling reality that all known matter accounts for only one-sixth of the universe, and openly shares the emotional toll of a 40-year global physics search that has yielded negative results. We discuss how these unanswered questions led him to pivot away from a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford to pursue a career in science journalism.Whether he is learning to make science "dance on the page" under the mentorship of legendary writers, uncovering historical math scandals, or preparing his latest essay on the universe's unanswerable questions, Joe's relentless curiosity is truly inspiring.LinksRead Joe's latest articles for Scientific American: https://www.scientificamerican.com/author/joseph-howlett/ Connect with Joe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-howlett-a180471b7/

When we think of someone as a "saint," we usually have in mind someone who is super-spiritual, extra holy, or in the Catholic faith, one who has been declared such because of many years of service to God, even to the point of a miraculous event. But in Paul's letter to the Philippians, he refers topeople there as "saints" also - - meaning all those who are believers in Jesus Christ. Throughout many years of church history, there have been countless people who have suffered for their faith. Are you one of these? Our subject today is "Super Promises for Suffering Saints." Perhaps God has a word of blessing for you today. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations.
With Amicus on a brief summer break, we're bringing you the second installment of Slow Burn's latest season, Becoming Justice Gorsuch.When Justice Antonin Scalia died in February of 2016, the Supreme Court appeared to be headed for a 5-4 liberal majority. Instead, a staggering blockade by Senate Republicans and a shocking electoral upset helped steal a seat and clear the way for today's conservative supermajority. In Episode 2, we examine Neil Gorsuch's politically fraught path to power and his time on the bench so far, including the unpredictability that has made him the high court's wild card. A housekeeping note: This season was produced before the end of the most recent Supreme Court term. Next week, host Susan Matthews joins Amicus co-hosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern to discuss the blockbuster decisions handed down in June—and Gorsuch's role in them.Want more Amicus?

In the 1960s, the Beatles were defined by the success of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. But in the digital era, we discovered that the Fab Four's most popular song wasn't written by John or Paul. In fact, it had never been a chart hit—it wasn't even released as a single.Today on Hit Parade: Chris Molanphy shines a light on “Here Comes the Sun,” the George Harrison deep cut from Abbey Road that, in the streaming era, has emerged as the most enduring—and most popular—Beatles song of all time.For more about “stealth hits,” listen to Hit Parade's episode on B-sides that improbably become classics and read Chris's Slate column about the surprising dominance of this holiday song.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

To reverse this, Kathryn Jezer Morton, writer of The Cut's “Brooding” column and author of the new book The Story of Your Life, proposes we “friction-maxx.” On today's encore episode, Kathryn joins host Kate Lindsay to figure out how to rebuild our tolerance for the very things that, it turns out, make us human.This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay.Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

What does it look like to lead when you never planned on becoming a leader?In this episode of UNITED State of Women, Julie Deem sits down with Jessica Robinson at Global Leadership Summit. For Jessica Robinson, leadership began in the classroom and unexpectedly grew into a ministry director role at Crossroads Learning Corner, where she now leads a team of approximately 40 adults while serving children from six weeks old through 12 years old.This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't always about being the person with all the answers. Sometimes the most influential thing a leader can do is notice the gifts already present in the people around them and give them room to grow.What You Will Learn:How leading through relationships can transform workplace culture.Why authenticity and genuine connection are powerful leadership tools.How to influence people who may be older or more experienced than you.Why leaders should identify and empower the strengths of the people around them.How to help team members recognize that they are leaders, even when they don't have a leadership title.Why effective meetings need clear ownership and accountability.How asking who is doing what and by when can turn conversations into action.Why leaders should resist the urge to personally fix every problem.How changing small patterns can create meaningful improvements over time.Why leaders should look for opportunities to empower others instead of micromanaging.How recognizing an employee's unique strengths can lead to better organizational solutions.Why community involvement can expand an organization's impact.How leaders can identify resistance when introducing meaningful change.Why successful change often requires patience, consistency, and reinforcement.How the principle of finding reasons to like people can strengthen relationships.Why influence begins with seeing and valuing the people around you.FAQ:What does it mean to lead through influence?Leading through influence means positively impacting people through relationships, authenticity, trust, communication, and empowerment rather than relying only on a leadership title or position.How can you influence people who are older or more experienced than you?You can influence people who are older or more experienced by getting to know them personally, being authentic, understanding their strengths, listening to them, and building genuine relationships. Jessica Robinson found that connecting with her team as people helped her influence and strengthen the culture at Crossroads Learning Corner.How can leaders empower their employees?Leaders can empower employees by identifying their individual strengths, giving them ownership of responsibilities, encouraging professional development, and creating opportunities for them to become leaders themselves.Thank you Crossroads for hosting Global Leadership Summit in Kokomo and for inviting UNITED State of Women to record live at the conference!!Crossroads Community Church:https://ecrossroads.org/Global Leadership Summit:https://www.globalleadership.org/summitLearn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.

David speaks with Alison Barrows of Ronn Tech Web Solutions about how search has changed in the age of AI, what businesses need to focus on to stay visible, and why clarity matters more than ever. The conversation breaks down practical ways to improve discoverability across websites, Google Business Profile, reviews, and AI-generated search results. Alison explains how she helps local service businesses get found online by combining traditional SEO, keyword and prompt research, Google Ads data, and AI visibility checks. The episode is especially useful for entrepreneurs who are trying to decide where to spend limited time and budget. Key topics In this episode, Alison explains why the old keyword-first SEO model is giving way to prompt-based search behavior, where people ask full questions instead of typing short phrases. She emphasizes clarity as the starting point - businesses need to know exactly what they want to be known for before they can rank for it. We discuss the difference between what business owners think people search for and what customers actually ask AI or search engines. Alison shares that the best answer wins: your website needs to provide the most useful, specific response to the real question people are asking. She recommends putting FAQs on every page of a website, not just a single FAQ page, so both users and bots can quickly find answers. The conversation covers why owned content still matters, and why a website remains more valuable than relying only on social media platforms. Alison explains how traditional SEO still matters in AI search, including hierarchical headings, meta titles, meta descriptions, trust signals, and strong site structure. We discuss how Google Ads can be used as a research tool, even on a small budget, to find the questions and terms real customers are using. She breaks down domain authority and why backlinks from high-authority sites can still help visibility. The episode closes with practical advice for businesses: make the website clear, structure the headings properly, and get an AI audit to see whether you are showing up in AI answers at all "The most important thing is clarity." "You have to have the best answer to the question online." "What question do I want to have the best answer to on the internet?" Action items Decide what your business wants to be known for in one clear sentence. Write your site content around the real questions customers ask, not just the keywords you wish they used. Add FAQs to each important page of your website. Make sure your headings are structured logically with an H1, H2s, and H3s. Review your meta titles and meta descriptions for each page. Check what AI says about your business and whether you appear in its answers. Compare your page against competitors in an incognito search and look for gaps. Use Google Ads data, if possible, to learn what people actually search for.

She had spent years searching for separate answers to bloating, PCOS, poor sleep, excessive gas, and fertility struggles. Then her son developed reflux, mucus in his stool, constipation, poor sleep, and obvious digestive discomfort.She kept researching probiotics, calming remedies and nervous-system support because everything felt fragmented. Then in listening to other episodes on the podcast, she realized something that changed the entire direction of their healing… she doesn't need a separate solution for every symptom.In this episode, I'm sharing her message and revealing the deeper connection between the symptoms a mother experiences throughout her life and the symptoms that can appear in her child. We'll also talk about why we sometimes resist the answer that makes the most intuitive sense, especially after trying so many things that did not work.If you have been chasing symptoms, collecting supplements, and wondering which problem to address first, this episode will help you zoom out, understand the whole picture, and confidently choose your next step.Thanks for listening!

David Plotz interviews John Lanchester about his new novel Look What You Made Me Do, a darkly funny psychological thriller about two couples in modern-day London whose lives collide in a story of infidelity, obsession, and revenge. The book explores the performance of niceness, class, intergenerational frictions and how technology makes vengeance not just possible but almost exceedingly easy in the modern age. The novel's real pleasure lies in its voice and humor, including a legendary dinner party scene where a character launches into a scathing riff on the ubiquity of Yotam Ottolenghi's cooking in contemporary British life. The result is simultaneously a thriller, a comedy, and a dark meditation on niceness in an age when everyone is watching everyone else.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

Our friends over at the Slate podcast Slow Burn are good at taking events that we think are settled history, then unlocking a new understanding of those stories through interviews, archives, and fresh analysis. They've reexamined Supreme Court history several times in recent years, including a new season about Neil Gorsuch we're featuring on Amicus for the next three weeks.Becoming Justice Gorsuch explores the early years of Donald Trump's first high-court appointee and his precedent-shattering path to power. It's a must-listen if you want to understand this 6-3 Roberts court, how it came to be, and where it's headed. In Episode 1, you'll hear how Gorsuch's worldview was shaped by his iconoclastic mother, his reaction to life on a liberal college campus, and young conservative movements of the 1980s. You'll also hear a familiar voice, with Slow Burn host Susan Matthews interviewing Amicus co-host Mark Joseph Stern.Want more Amicus?

After a small business in Nantucket put a “no influencers” sign in their store, creators accused it of being sexist. The issue divided the internet, when really, both things can be true: Influencer culture is harmful, and “influencer” has become a pejorative word for any woman who posts online. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay talks with writer Kat Tenbarge about how the word “influencer” has belittled female creators since the beginning, and how male creators have escaped the same scrutiny.This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

This week, Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and guest host Juliette Kayyem discuss the security calculations behind Trump's plane switch operation; the White House's attempts to circumvent Supreme Court rulings in its continued obsession with ‘birth tourism'; and whether ‘burritogate' reveals the extent of today's economic anxiety or that young Americans simply aren't learning to cook anymore. For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, David, and guest host Juliette Kayyem discuss whether the benefits of the Flock surveillance network are worth its tradeoffs. Flock cameras help police solve crimes, but cases of officers abusing their access to the technology for stalking raise concerns about privacy violations. In the latest Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself.

Peter Santenello has been documenting his world travels on YouTube for nearly two decades, but it wasn't until he moved in with a family in the Ukrainian countryside that he really began to hone his storytelling approach. There were no flashy edits or celebrities, just visits with locals talking about their home, and his Ukraine series quickly gained an online following in that country. When the pandemic hit, Peter moved home to the United States and wondered if his formula could work there too – and that's when his audience really exploded. Now with more than 4 million subscribers, Peter travels around the country chronicling all sorts of micro-cultures that “the media fails to capture,” showcasing places at various points of the economic cycle, some booming, and others left out of prosperity and struggling to hold on. He joins Anna to talk about transitioning to US-based videos, what makes his approach unique, and why curiosity beats expertise. You can watch all of Peter's videos on his YouTube channel @PeterSantenello, and his new book Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home is out now.

In the final episode—for now—of our series on reclaiming constitutional power for every American, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern urge you to consider the many ways you can make constitutional meaning in your life, your community, and your profession. Joining us to imagine what that has looked like historically and what it might look like tomorrow is New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, our former Slate colleague who possesses an uncanny, award-winning knack for applying historical context to modern-day events. He sits down with Dahlia and Mark to give the long view of the modern Supreme Court's monopoly on constitutional understanding; its gradual (and problematic) professionalization; his own wishlist for structural reform at the high court, and a bracing reminder that there is a tremendous amount to be done to claw back the Framers' vision of a constitution by the people.We want to hear from you! Tell us what you're doing in your life to assert ownership of the Constitution. What are you doing to expand fundamental freedoms to you, your loved ones, and your neighbors? Write to us at amicus@slate.com, and we might be in touch with you for a special Amicus event in September. By the People is Slate's end-of-term project exploring the ways in which ordinary Americans have shaped the meaning of the Constitution beyond the rulings of the Supreme Court. You can read the full package of articles accompanying this series at slate.com/bythepeople.The justices publish their opinions a few dozen times a year. Dahlia and Mark share theirs every week.
