Many will be fascinated and fail to be captured by what fascinates them. This level of captivation then leads to becoming more integrated into Him. Which then causes us to be transformed. A transformation that would've never been possible without allowing our fascination to lead to captivation - captivation leading to integration and that integration leading to transformation.   The Homestead Mobile - October 17th, 2025

Consider human ecological loneliness and our longing for reconnection with all creation. What healing is available in an era defined by environmental loss and exploitation? Can we strengthen the fragile connection between modern society and the space we inhabit?“Loneliness is the symptom that desires its cure.”In this episode Macie Bridge welcomes writer, translator, and poet Laura Marris to reflect on her essay collection The Age of Loneliness, a meditation on solitude, grief, and the ecology of attention. Marris considers what it means to live through an era defined by environmental loss and human disconnection, yet still filled with wonder. She shares stories of tardigrades that endure extreme conditions, how airports reveal our attitudes toward birds, and the personal loss of her father that awakened her to “noticing absence.” Together, they explore how ecological loneliness might transform into longing for reconnection—not only among humans, but with the creatures and landscapes that share our world. Marris suggests that paying attention, naming, and noticing are acts of restoration. “Loneliness,” she writes, “is the symptom that desires its cure.”Episode Highlights“Loneliness is the symptom that desires its cure.”“There are ways, even very simple ones, that individuals can do to make the landscape around them more hospitable.”“I don't believe that humans are hardwired to exploit. There have been many societies with long traditions of mutual benefit and coexistence.”“It's really hard to notice an absence sometimes. There's something curative about noticing absences that have been around but not acknowledged.”“Ecological concerns are not a luxury. It's actually really important to hold the line on them.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Age of Loneliness by Laura Marris — https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/age-lonelinessUnderland by Robert Macfarlane — https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393242140E.O. Wilson on “Beware the Age of Loneliness” — https://www.economist.com/news/2013/11/18/beware-the-age-of-lonelinessAbout Laura MarrisLaura Marris is a writer and translator whose work spans poetry, essays, and literary translation. She is the author of The Age of Loneliness and has translated Albert Camus's The Plague for Vintage Classics. She teaches creative writing and translation at the University at Buffalo.Show NotesThe Ecology of Loneliness and LongingLaura Marris discusses The Age of Loneliness—“Eremocene”—a term coined by E.O. Wilson to describe a speculative future of environmental isolation.Fascination with poetic form and environmental prose emerging during the pandemic.Ecological loneliness arises from biodiversity loss, but also offers the chance to reimagine more hospitable human landscapes.Extreme Tolerance and the Human ConditionMarris describes tardigrades as metaphors for endurance without thriving—organisms that survive extremes by pausing metabolism.“How extremely tolerant are humans, and what are our ways of trying to be more tolerant to extreme conditions?”Air conditioning becomes an emblem of “extreme tolerance,” mirroring human adaptation to a destabilized environment.Birds, Airports, and the Language of BlameMarris explores how modern air travel enforces ecological loneliness by eradicating other species from its space.She reveals hidden networks of wildlife managers and the Smithsonian's Feather Identification Lab.Reflects on the “Miracle on the Hudson,” where language wrongly cast geese as antagonists—“as if the birds wanted to hit the plane.”Loneliness, Solitude, and Longing“Loneliness is solitude attached to longing that feels painful.”Marris distinguishes solitude's generativity from loneliness's ache, suggesting longing can be a moral compass toward reconnection.Personal stories of her father's bird lists intertwine grief and ecological noticing.Ground Truthing and Community ScienceMarris introduces “ground truthing”—people verifying ecological data firsthand.She celebrates local volunteers counting birds, horseshoe crabs, and plants as acts of hope.“Community care applies to human and more-than-human communities alike.”Toxic Landscapes and Ecological AftermathMarris recounts Buffalo's industrial scars and ongoing restoration along the Niagara River.“Toxins don't stop at the edge of the landfill—they keep going.”She reflects on beauty, resilience, and the return of eagles to post-industrial lands.Attention and Wonder as Advocacy“A lot of advocacy stems from paying local attention.”Small, attentive acts—like watching sparrows dust bathe—are forms of resistance against despair.Cure, Absence, and Continuing the ConversationMarris resists the idea of a final “cure” for loneliness.“Cure could be something ongoing, a process, a change in your life.”Her annual bird counts become a continuing dialogue with her late father.Wisdom for the Lonely“Take the time to notice what it is you're lonely for.”She calls for transforming loneliness into longing for a more hospitable, interdependent world.Production NotesThis podcast featured Laura MarrisInterview by Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews. This time we step into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition with ‘The Talented Mr Ripley' at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre with description by Professional Audio describer Carolyn Smith. About ‘The Talented Mr Ripley' “I never wanted to murder anyone. It was necessary.” Tom Ripley is a nobody – scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies – until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity. But in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads – the freedom, the wealth, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession, and as his grip tightens on Dickie's world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder. In Mark Leipacher's new adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, Patricia Highsmith's classic novel is reimagined for the stage in thrilling fashion! Originally published in 1955, the novel won the Grand Prix de Littrature Policire in 1957 and was named in 2019 on the BBC's list of the 100 most inspiring novels. Spawning movie adaptations, radio versions and TV spin-offs, don't miss its brilliant transition to stage this year! What is the story? From the smoky jazz bars of Manhattan to the golden coastlines of Italy in the 50s, the psychological thriller follows Tom Ripley, a nobody desperate to be somebody, slipping deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of lies, until the consequences of his choices begin to close in. The ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of The Crown. Bruce Herbelin-Earle from Netflix's Free Rein is Dickie Greenleaf and EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith stars as Marge Sherwood.

Trond Aas is CEO and Co-Founder of Attensi, a leader in AI-powered gamified simulation training. Trond shares his background spanning quantum physics, consulting and gaming. He explains how gamification grounded in behavioral science drives engagement which enhances initial and long-term learning especially for younger employees. Trond describes motivation as a critical success factor for sustainable upskilling. He discusses metrics to demonstrate return on investment in skills development and how to improve skills gap issues starting with cultivating a trust-based culture of learning   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:17] Trond starts studying quantum physics to explore fundamental questions about nature.   [02:01] After doing research for his military service, Trond goes into industry seeking practical impact.   [02:38] Trond joins McKinsey as a business school type experience before pursuing entrepreneurship.   [03:10] Interest in games stems from early programming and creativity cultivated during university.   [04:08] In gaming, Trond reveals how behavioral science is used to drive engagement and learning.   [06:12] Tribal, team-based successes are key to stimulating successful collaboration online.   [06:25] Fascination with learning and awareness of superficial gamification drives Attensi's founding.   [07:44] Attensi applies science to drive motivation and behavior change with measurable results.   [09:40] Correlating simulated behavior with real-world outcomes to track learning impact.   [10:23] Measuring soft skills progress when observable behavior is hard to track.   [12:10] As technology evolves rapidly, upskilling must be ongoing across high-competence industries.   [12:50] Skill development tailored to specific job challenges is more effective than one-size-fits-all.   [13:45] Self-motivated learners thrive, while others need help to develop the motivation that anchors learning.   [14:47] Many Gen Zers lack key communication skills and may not recognize this development need.   [15:49] Most learning programs fail on motivation, which must be addressed first to succeed.   [16:22] Creating mastery experiences significantly increases learner motivation and outcomes.   [15:15] Game-based learning builds confidence that translates into better real-world performance.   [19:43] Companies underinvest in onboarding due to unclear ROI, hindering workforce readiness.   [20:08] Trond emphasizes data, ROI, and clear impact as critical for better training investment decisions.   [20:34] Attensi's research shows poor onboarding leads to lower confidence and performance.   [23:42] Skill masking arises when employees hide learning gaps, often from lack of psychological safety.   [24:18] Cultivating trust-based cultures is essential to reduce skill masking and promote learning.   [25:48] Focusing on core skills for each role facilitates the shift to becoming a skills-first organization.   [26:44] Skill-based organizations can start small and ensure programs drive skill improvements.   [28:33] Maintaining skill use needs continuous feedback, clear expectations, and learning structures.   [29:13] Organizations must define competencies to stand out and align training with competitive goals.   [30:37] Tailoring programs to learner motivation and challenges supports effective skills development.     IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Learning motivation and skills usage are cultivated through mastery. Help employees sense their achievement to encourage their enhanced performance and growth.   RESOURCES   Trond Aas on LinkedIn Attensi's website     QUOTES   "We can use these principles of games to drive engagement, drive interest, drive motivation—and then we should be able to impact real behaviors and measure that with data."   "Most people experience poor onboarding and most people are convinced that it affects their work afterwards."   "Skill masking is that people are actually hiding the challenges that they are having."   "Are your people motivated? And if not, address that—that's what you need to address to be able to develop your organization."   “When you are able to instill a feeling of mastery in people that has a huge effect on their motivation.”   "A lot of people think that one [training] system or one approach will fit with all the different employees... and I think it needs to be a lot more nuanced than that."

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” Einstein's words cut to the core of the coaching mindset.

This podcast explored those moments, and listeners left with a deeper understanding of: • The kind of curiosity coaching calls for • How curiosity is connected with presence • Why and how curiosity gets disrupted • Daily practices that strengthen curiosity

Some obsessions look ordinary from the outside. But inside? They're ritual, tether, even sacrament.I've watched creatives, dreamers, physicists, singers, and everyday workers treat dried mangoes not as snacks but as sacred companions...a kind of chewable sunlight that holds them steady between chaos and infinity. For some, it was survival. For others, rebellion. For one physicist, it was the only thing that kept him human while his mind touched the divine.This isn't really about mangoes. It's about hunger, ritual, devotion, and the strange ways people anchor themselves to meaning. Sometimes fascination doesn't need comprehension. Sometimes mystery is enough.If you like reading or want to reach out, there's a kind of blog on www.idiotmystic.com.

As theory and practice evolve in both the addiction recovery and mental health fields there is a growing recognition of the intersection between treatment in both areas. One organization that has recognized this for quite some time is A Positive Alternative in Seattle. They are all about empowerment and choice for their clients and definitely subscribe to the view that recovery is not one size fits all. In this episode we talk with their clinical director Kaitlyn Braile. She is a licensed mental health and substance use disorder counselor who received her training at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, developing a psychodynamic perspective that also incorporates her experience in community mental health settings. One fascination of Kaitlyn's is the area of motivation--how people both gain and lose it in the flow of making life changes. 

Today, we are replaying one of my favorite conversations with Sam Hinkie. Sam worked for more than a decade in the NBA with the Houston Rockets and then as the President and GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. And now, after years of personal investing, he has launched his own venture capital firm, 87 Capital. Every conversation I have with Sam is alive with insight, and this one is no different. We explore the idea of studying the "breadcrumbs" that someone leaves behind as a way to track their progress and trajectory, finding and attracting the right people into one's orbit, and the lessons from the NBA that most shape his investing career. Sam has taught me the most about the topic of building trust, which we cover here as well. I am excited to share my conversation with Sam with all of you. Please enjoy!

“I wanted to write a character who was a relatable superhero—someone a woman today might connect with, not a god or an alien, but a real person with real struggles.” — Caitlyn Grabenstein In this episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with author and artist Caitlin Grabenstein, the creative force behind the surreal collage brand Cult Class whose work has been commissioned by Netflix, Adobe, Glamour, and Porsche. Caitlin joins me to talk about her debut novel One Red Arrow, Part One—a sci-fi thriller that blends creature-feature suspense, relatable superheroes, and a deeply human exploration of anxiety, transformation, and resilience. We dive into her artistic journey from folk music to visual art to fiction, her fascination with aliens, and what it takes to self-publish a story that pushes beyond the tired tropes of modern superhero films. Key Takeaways: Creative Evolution – From writing folk songs to creating surreal visual art to publishing a sci-fi novel, Caitlin shares how creativity takes many forms. A Relatable Superhero – Why she wanted to write a multidimensional female protagonist who reflects the real struggles of modern women. The Fascination with Aliens & the Unknown – How childhood nights watching obscure TV shows with her dad fueled her art and writing. The Challenges of Writing a Novel – Three years of work taught Caitlin just how difficult—and cathartic—it is to build a compelling plot. Indie Publishing & Vulnerability – Why she turned to Kickstarter, the role of reviews, and the vulnerability of putting a book into the world. The Role of Art in Storytelling – From maps of fictional towns to chapter illustrations, Caitlin integrates art into her narrative universe. Depth Over Tropes – Her frustration with formulaic superhero stories and her mission to bring more psychological and emotional complexity into the genre.

During the early weeks of the pandemic, Tim Hayward spent 14 days in a coma. He remembers this time vividly – his days and nights filled with strange, incandescent visions and hallucinations. That experience is something he would never choose to revisit but, around the world, large numbers of people are deliberately seeking out powerfully altered states.In this ten-part series, Tim sets out to better understand a group of substances that induce altered states: psychedelics.There's been a surge of interest in their therapeutic potential for various mental health conditions - as well as a range of other clinical possibilities. As research around the world ramps up after years of taboo and prohibition he tries to get to grips with - or at least get a clearer sense of - how science, culture, politics and business might all interact in this changing psychedelic landscape, and what it all might mean. He also explores what might be happening in the brain during a trip and whether, by studying psychedelics, we might uncover more about consciousness, imagination and even the mysteries of reality itself.This episode looks into the history of psychedelic research. From the “dawn” of psychedelic science in 1799 through to prohibition in the second half of the last century, Tim explores shifting cultural and scientific approaches to substances that induce altered states. There had been a willingness to openly explore the trip experience and to see what might be discovered by doing so. Why did all that become taboo?Contributors: Erika Dyck, historian of psychedelics, University of Saskatchewan Mike Jay, author and cultural historian Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes, philosopher of mind and metaphysics, University of ExeterPresenter: Tim Hayward Producer: Richard Ward Executive Producer: Rosamund Jones Editor: Kirsten LassWritten by Tim Hayward and Richard WardSound Design and Mixing: Richard Ward Production Executive Lisa Lipman Researcher: Grace Revill Commissioning Editor: Daniel ClarkeA Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 4

Jeffrey Epstein's interest in transhumanism went far beyond idle curiosity—he saw it as a personal blueprint for shaping humanity's future in his own image. Using his foundation and wealth, he funded research in genetics, neuroscience, AI, and evolutionary dynamics, forging ties with elite scientists and institutions. Publicly, this philanthropy framed him as a visionary; privately, it aligned with deeply narcissistic goals such as creating a genetically engineered bloodline via his “baby ranch” plan, preserving his brain and body through cryonics, and potentially merging his consciousness with advanced technology. These ambitions stripped transhumanism of its egalitarian ideals, twisting it into a vehicle for personal immortality, hereditary control, and dominance over human evolution.The scientific community's willingness to accept his money—despite his criminal history—allowed Epstein to launder both his reputation and his dystopian ideas. Exclusive conferences, research grants, and one-on-one engagements gave him influence in shaping discourse on the future of humanity. His involvement underscores how speculative, high-stakes technologies can be exploited by the wealthy to entrench inequality and impose self-serving visions. Though Epstein's death halted his plans, the infrastructure, relationships, and normalization of ethically perilous ideas he helped foster remain. His story stands as a cautionary tale: without strong ethical guardrails, the power to reshape life itself can slip into the hands of those driven not by the betterment of all, but by vanity, exploitation, and the desire to control the human future.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
