In October 1961, 19-year-old Betty Gail Brown — a promising sophomore at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky — was found brutally murdered in her car on campus. Strangled to death with her own brassiere, her killer has never been brought to justice. This remains one of Kentucky's most haunting unsolved murders. On this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we dive deep into the shocking true story of the Betty Gail Brown case: a young woman full of potential whose life was cut short in a place meant for learning and safety. We examine the chilling details of that fateful night, the botched investigation, the dramatic 1965 confession by drifter Alex Arnold Jr. that led to a high-profile trial and mistrial, and the lingering theories that still divide the community more than six decades later. Was Betty Gail Brown the victim of a random campus predator, a personal grudge, or something even darker? Despite multiple leads and intense media attention at the time, her murder stays cold — a heartbreaking reminder of how one night can shatter lives forever. If you're fascinated by unsolved true crime cases, Kentucky murders, campus killings, and deadly mysteries from the 1960s, this episode is for you. We honor Betty's memory while exploring every angle of this infamous Lexington cold case. ️ Key Topics: • Betty Gail Brown's final hours and the gruesome discovery • Flaws in the original police investigation • The Alex Arnold confession and mistrial • Modern theories and why the case remains unsolved Listener discretion is advised — this episode discusses murder and sensitive details.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-16-2026: Dr. Dawn dissects a June 2026 JAMA Internal Medicine paper that claimed simultaneous flu and COVID vaccination in veterans reduced cardiac events, arguing the retrospective natural-experiment design cannot support causal conclusions. The 20% versus 2% dropout rates between groups signal fundamentally non-comparable populations, and the divergence in cardiac events starting within a month of vaccination is clinically implausible—suggesting an X-factor other than vaccine effect is driving the numbers. Dr. Dawn delivers a pointed critique of a major chain pharmacy—part of a vertical healthcare monopoly—for creating deliberate friction around controlled-substance prescriptions through claims of stock shortages, unnecessary prior authorizations, and phantom "clarification" requests. She acknowledges the real paperwork burden of DEA compliance (quarterly reporting, six-month inspections, legitimate-need documentation) but argues chains are pushing pain patients away rather than doing due diligence, while independent pharmacies are closing at alarming rates in California. Following up on last week's Kampo medicine caller, Dr. Dawn reports research on Goshajinkigan showing it suppresses voltage-gated sodium channels at the motor end plate, functioning as a muscle relaxant used clinically in Japan for low back pain, extremity numbness, and chemotherapy- and diabetic-induced neuropathy. An emailer asks about a case report of an 80-year-old woman with 10-year Alzheimer's whose function dramatically improved after 5g oral psilocybin (Enigma strain), regaining conversation, continence, and autonomous dressing. Dr. Dawn notes plausible mechanisms (neuroplasticity, anti-inflammatory action, elevated BDNF) but cautions the diagnosis was clinical rather than confirmed with imaging or CSF markers, and recommends the emailer pursue exercise and sleep optimization for word-finding difficulties instead. An emailer asks how to reassure her chemically-hypersensitive adult son that their remediated apartment is safe. Dr. Dawn recommends commercial ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index) testing along baseboards where spores concentrate, plus urine mycotoxin testing on the parents themselves to demonstrate objectively low exposure levels. Drosophila fruit-fly males produce sperm longer than their own 2mm bodies—40 times longer than human sperm—with thousands packed inside. Fluorescent-dye imaging shows the sperm remain unusually still and coordinated, moving in synchronized slow waves like flocking birds or kelp in tides, preventing tangling. A Washington University study of 154,000 UK and 10,000 US participants used nine blood biomarkers to calculate biological age, finding people born in the 1990s show accelerated biological aging compared to those born three decades earlier. The gap between biological and chronological age correlated with increased risk of lung, colon, and uterine cancers—all rising in younger populations. A University of Pennsylvania study of 493 mouse litters found germ-free mice had shorter reproductive lifespans, more ovarian scarring, and accelerated loss of primordial follicles. Introducing gut bacteria at birth or weaning reversed these effects, as did supplementation with short-chain fatty acids alone (butyrate, isobutyrate, acetate). Dr. Dawn suggests ghee as a readily available butyrate source for those interested in the theoretical fertility-preservation benefit.
Alex Gailey explains why 87% of homebuyers in 2025 overpaid for their mortgage, often costing them thousands of dollars each year. She breaks down how loyalty to lenders and financial confidence can lead buyers to accept worse terms, and shares practical strategies for securing a better deal through comparison shopping, negotiation, and understanding lender incentives.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. Building high-performance teams, especially in dynamic industries, can be one of the biggest challenges a leader faces. Sometimes passionate founders or senior leaders can go from passionate advocate to authoritarian autocrat. Left unchecked, this can lead to organizations underperforming in the long term and missed opportunities. So where is the balance? In this episode, Kim speaks with Liz Wiseman, the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers. Liz and Kim explore the pitfalls of authoritarian leadership, the power of multipliers, and how leaders can foster environments where everyone does the best work of their lives and builds the best relationships of their careers. Liz does point out that there are certain, limited instances where a top down, “command and control” approach is the right choice (for example, during an acute crisis), but these instances should be rare and targeted. They also discuss practical strategies for managing diminishing leaders and creating impact regardless of leadership style. They also talk about the importance of understanding power dynamics in leadership. Guest Background: Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to top organizations worldwide. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers Multipliers, The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players.

Host Charlie James takes calls from listeners discussing political ideology, religious values, and healthcare in America. Caller Chuck from Mills River speaks against socialism, arguing that life doesn't owe people anything and that the growth of the welfare state has led to massive national debt. Donald from Spartanburg attributes social shift and young people's leaning toward socialism to the removal of the Bible from schools, warning that such trends historically lead to authoritarian leadership. Later, Gus from Asheville joins the conversation to discuss healthcare accessibility, prompting James to clarify that America possesses a world-class healthcare system, but that greedy insurance companies and high insurance costs create a barrier for hard-working citizens.
In the fourth hour of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James and his callers engage in a broad discussion on the perceived rise and dangers of socialism, citing failed historical models to argue against socialist ideologies. The conversation transitions into an critique of the U.S. healthcare system, where James and several listeners focus on systemic issues such as medical overpricing and greedy health insurance companies that hinder patient care. Additionally, callers reflect on the legacy and health history of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, while lighter topics—including a viral story about a risqué Florida license plate—round out the segment.

This week Mat and Magrey kick off our new series Holy Struggle by exploring one of the Bible's most fascinating—and flawed—characters: Jacob. Together they discuss why Scripture refuses to hide the failures of its heroes, what Jacob and Esau's story teaches us about family conflict, forgiveness, and personal growth, and why the Bible's honesty about human imperfection is one of its greatest strengths. Along the way, they dive into the surprising depth of these ancient stories, the "trickster" theme throughout Genesis, and why we often find ourselves somewhere inside Jacob's story.Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

Where in your life do you feel inadequate, "less than," not good enough? We all have those spots -- and how we respond to them is critical to our ability to live into the fullness of who God calls us to be. In other words, how we respond to our sense of inadequacy is a deep spiritual issue. So this Sunday we'll explore what the scriptures teach about feelings of inadequacy.

The Yankees struck out at an alarming rate, but Evan argues that their problems go far beyond missed swings. Will Warren struggled against the bottom of Tampa Bay's lineup, Cody Bellinger made another costly mistake, and the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge has left the offense without an obvious solution. Instead of trying to patch every weakness, Evan believes the Yankees should make one aggressive move and trade for Tarik Skubal. Pairing him with Gerrit Cole and Max Fried could give New York the dominant rotation it needs to survive a flawed American League and make a serious championship run.

In this comprehensive block of The Charlie James Show (Hour 3), guest host Heidi Harris navigates a variety of topics centered around American values and political structures with both guests and call-in listeners. The hour opens with South Carolina Congressman William Timmons praising the patriotic scale of recent national celebrations before discussing the Save America Act, emphasizing the importance of securing elections through photo identification mandates and using reconciliation to encourage state compliance. Transitioning to a discussion on state-to-state migration patterns, caller Luther notes that citizens are actively using their geographic mobility to escape heavily taxed and highly regulated states, though Harris cautions that this often causes left-leaning voters to inadvertently import those exact same failing policies into traditionally conservative states. These systemic issues are further criticized during a discussion with an older caller named Bill regarding the prevalence of liberal indoctrination on college campuses, prompting Harris to advocate for strict accountability in education and an end to academic tenure. The broadcast concludes on an uplifting note with an 18-year-old high school graduate named Carson, who shares how his parents intentionally taught him about the real-world downfalls of communism and socialism, leading him to express deep gratitude for American liberty as he prepares to attend a Bible college in Kentucky

No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This podcast is about dark matter — and Professor Philip Mannheim thinks it isn't missing at all, just hiding in plain sight as the rest of the visible universe. In his first-ever podcast, on ideas he's pursued since 1972, Mannheim lays out conformal gravity: a theory built on Weyl symmetry rather than Einstein's equations, which explains galaxy rotation curves without dark matter, tames the cosmological constant, and fits the accelerating universe without fine-tuning. With longtime collaborator Carl Bender, he also resolves gravity's infamous "ghost" problem using PT symmetry instead of Hermiticity — suggesting the graviton may not even exist as a particle.

In Hour 4 of The Tara Show, Tara broadens her political critique from domestic security to international relations, sharply criticizing the Biden administration's visa policies while taking direct aim at California Democrats for blocking a bill to keep registered sex offenders off the ballot. The segment further highlights what Tara describes as the left's blatant disregard for American citizens, pointing to an emotional congressional testimony from an Angel Mom whose daughter was murdered due to sanctuary city policies—an account Tara claims was mocked by progressive lawmakers like Representative Pramila Jayapal. Transitioning to foreign affairs, Tara and guest General Jack Keane scrutinize the legal parameters of Donald Trump's Iran deal, arguing that its flawed provisions have disastrously surrendered strategic authority to Iran, legally allowing them to bar international nuclear inspectors and seize operational control over the vital Strait of Hormuz.

There is a version of you that exists right now, at this exact moment, that you have not fully met yet. Not because it is hidden somewhere you cannot reach, but because you have not yet learned how to look in the direction it lives. Archaeology is not about finding things that are lost. It is about learning to see things that have been there all along, waiting for someone to pay attention. And tonight, you are going to become an archaeologist of your own present moment. You are going to carefully brush away the assumptions you have been carrying about who you are and discover what has actually been there all along, waiting to be seen. Think about the word archaeology for a moment. It comes from roots that mean beginning and origin. But you are not digging into the past tonight. You are not excavating who you were.DISCLAIMER

We open this episode of The Dawn Stensland Show breaking down the shocking new update from the UN nuclear agency confirming that inspectors will officially visit Iran's nuclear sites under the interim U.S. deal. Dawn slams the Philadelphia Inquirer for a shameful front-page digital investigation targeting the FOP police union over funeral expenses for a fallen officer. Our favorite attorney, the lovely Linda Kearns, joins the studio to call out this blatant media bias before diving deep into a bizarre Delaware court ruling that allows corporate entities to vote in local municipal elections based on property ownership. The crew reacts in real-time to a terrifying message from traffic reporter Nick, who witnessed an active road rage shooting right in front of him on I-76. Nick leaves a chilling voicemail detailing how a hotheaded driver pulled out a firearm, fired a shot at the vehicle next to him on the Schuylkill Expressway, and casually accelerated away. Dawn and Linda discuss the growing epidemic of highway aggression in Philadelphia, why Dawn refuses to honk or flash her lights at anyone anymore, and how new strict Pennsylvania laws against handling your phone at a stoplight are being enforced. Linda provides a masterclass on election integrity, detailing her federal court battles over messy voter rolls and explaining why a woman who pled guilty to voting twice in both Philadelphia and New Jersey was finally caught. We press into the technical realities of the SAVE Act, as Linda explains why the bill might not be the administrative fix people think it is due to non-standardized birth certificates across the country. Plus, we react to Donald Trump's latest Truth Social declaration of a national emergency over the housing bill, his viral mockery of his own soccer skills in shorts, and Mary Walter stops by to tease her upcoming segment exposing the elite Democrats who covered up Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
The Flaws of the Iran Memorandum. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the current US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, calling it a failure of negotiation that incorporates "every Iranian trick." He argues Iran's core goals—the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of US influence—remain unchanged, and that the US has displayed a defeatist lack of patience. 111721

Sales pipeline management isn't about tracking revenue. It's about understanding what's really happening inside your funnel before deals are won or lost. Most sales leaders are looking at the scoreboard when they should be studying the game. In this episode of the B2B Sales Trends Podcast, Harry sits down with Marcus Houston, SVP Customer Growth and Business Development at Transportation Insight, to unpack how top performing sales organizations use sales pipeline management, revenue forecasting, sales coaching, and revenue operations to improve forecast accuracy and drive consistent growth.

As a pediatrician and mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to get overwhelmed by standard parenting tips and the pressure to have a perfect family life . In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and curated social media fairy tales, so many couples feel like they are constantly falling short . On this channel, my goal is to share the beautiful, unglamorous reality of making relationships work . We cannot just hope for a happy marriage and connection to happen by chance…we have to be intentional about creating it. That is why I love bringing authentic guests onto the podcast to share real, unfiltered relationship advice. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East and former NFL player Andrew East to talk about their brand new book, The Courage to Commit. Shawn and Andrew remind us that we don't have to succumb to public judgment or relationship anxiety . Real growth happens in our everyday routines, like setting core family values, prioritizing weekly date nights, and learning how to celebrate failure . By breaking down the illusion of perfection and working through messy parenting moments, we can move past the comparison trap and build a resilient, peaceful home. Why treating commitment as an intentional choice is the key to lasting peace in marriage. How choosing fewer things and narrowing your focus can completely eliminate FOMO and relationship anxiety . Easy, practical ways to establish family values and protect intentional habits like weekly date nights . Why elite athletes, pediatricians, and parents must embrace failure as a necessary stepping stone to success. Breaking down the distinct voices in their new book, The Courage to Commit, and the inclusion of data-driven research. How a legendary gymnastics coach used reverse psychology to teach self-reflection and grit. How to find joy in the mundane, unglamorous preparation phases of parenting and family life.

In this week's episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom tear apart the ongoing debate surrounding wearable fitness trackers like Whoop, Garmin, and the Oura Ring. We unpack the recent public backlash against Stephen Bartlett's alcohol consumption comments and analyse whether health optimisation metrics promote positive lifestyle tracking or just state-of-the-art health anxiety. Plus, we look directly at running app strength training plans, exposing the shocking program flaws, lopsided push-pull volume, and highly questionable exercise selections designed by "expert" in-house AI. Finally, we defend the massive financial and social value of being an in-person personal trainer over an online coach, and rank the ultimate top five roast dinner meats (including an emotive defence of roast lamb). 0:00 Stephen Bartlett, Alcohol, and Public Backlash 2:56 Wearables, Whoop, and Optimising Your Life 11:39 Top Five Roast Dinner Meats 22:20 In-Person PT vs. Online Coaching 33:22 Evaluating Running App Strength Programs Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe for weekly fitness news and coaching education.

He also shares the case he'll never forget — a woman who was simply bringing chicken soup to her sick neighbor when a truck took her life.

In this episode, Dru Johnson interviews Dr. Brian Fikkert about poverty, charity, economic development, and the role of the church in helping vulnerable communities flourish. Drawing from decades of experience in poverty alleviation and Christian mission, Fikkert explains why many well-intentioned efforts to help the poor can unintentionally create dependency, undermine dignity, and fail to address the deeper relational causes of poverty. The conversation explores key themes from When Helping Hurts, including the difference between relief, rehabilitation, and development, as well as how churches and nonprofits can better serve communities both locally and globally. Fikkert also discusses the spiritual dimensions of poverty, the importance of restoring human dignity, and why effective compassion requires long-term relationships rather than quick fixes. This episode is essential listening for Christians, pastors, missionaries, nonprofit leaders, and anyone interested in biblical justice, economic development, and sustainable poverty alleviation. If you care about faith, generosity, missions, and helping people in ways that truly empower them, this conversation with Brian Fikkert offers practical wisdom and a deeply biblical framework for serving others well.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley, an ecommerce entrepreneur who has scaled his brand to eight figures, shares nine mental frameworks for hiring senior-level managers. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Josh covers key principles including trusting your gut, starting the hiring process early, looking for clear green flags, using contractor trial periods, ensuring culture fit, verifying a track record of success, staying genuinely excited about candidates, accepting minor imperfections, and learning from hiring mistakes. His goal is to help ecommerce entrepreneurs make smarter hiring decisions and avoid costly errors.Bullet Points:Importance of trusting gut feelings in the hiring processStarting the hiring process early to avoid rushed decisionsIdentifying clear positive indicators (green flags) in candidatesUtilizing contractors or consultants for initial trial periodsEnsuring alignment of personality and company cultureVerifying candidates' patterns of career success and technical competenceFeeling genuine excitement about potential hiresAccepting imperfections while avoiding overanalysisGaining experience and learning from hiring mistakesDeveloping a comprehensive approach to hiring senior leaders in ecommerceTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction to Hiring FrameworksJosh Hadley introduces the nine mental frameworks he uses before extending a job offer for senior-level roles in his business.00:01:05 Framework 1: Gut FeelingTrust your intuition and gut feeling about a candidate, as it's often the most reliable indicator of a good hire.00:03:15 Framework 2: Start Hiring EarlyBegin the hiring process as soon as possible to attract a large pool of applicants, aiming for 1000 per position.00:04:20 Framework 3: Don't Succumb to Business PressureAvoid letting the immediate needs of the business force you into making a hasty or less-than-ideal hiring decision.00:06:18 Framework 4: Look for Green FlagsA-level talent consistently presents "green flags" in their case studies and interviews; a lack of them is a red flag.00:07:28 Framework 5: Use Contractors FirstHire new team members as contractors for 30-90 days to prove their fit before committing to a W-2 employee.00:09:26 Framework 6: The Three CheckboxesEnsure candidates are a personality fit, align with core values, and have a proven pattern of success in their career.00:12:33 Framework 7: Be Excited About the HireIf you have to convince yourself to hire someone, it's a warning sign. You should be genuinely excited about them.00:13:33 Framework 8: Accept ImperfectionsNo candidate is perfect. Ask yourself if you would regret not hiring this person, despite their minor, non-deal-breaking flaws.00:14:39 Framework 9: Get Experience Through RepsYour ability to recognize and hire A-level talent will improve with practice, so don't be afraid to make mistakes.Links and Mentions:Hiring Process"Gut Feeling / Intuition": "00:02:09""Hiring Process Timing": "00:03:15""Case Study Evaluation": "00:06:18""Contractor/Consultant Hiring": "00:07:28"Assessment Tools and Methods"Culture Index": "00:10:22""Core Values Assessment": "00:11:15""Pattern of Success Evaluation": "00:12:33"Hiring Concepts"Excitement for Hire": "00:12:39""Flaws vs. Deal Breakers": "00:13:33""Experience in Hiring": "00:15:38"Conclusion"Conclusion": "00:15:38"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00 Today, I'm going to share with you the nine different frameworks that I use before extending an offer to somebody that I'm about to hire in the business. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I am a man of faith. I am a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I have been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing $20 million a year annually and selling multi-millionaire on Amazon, TikTok, shop and Shopify. I'm also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, and that's E-com breakthrough. Today, I'm ultimately just going to share with you something that's on top of my mind as I'm looking to add some senior level managers and leaders into my business right now.Josh Hadley 00:01:05 And to be honest with you, I've gone through like multiple different people that I've been considering extending some invitations and offers to come join the business. However, I've come back full circle and I've decided that none of them are the right fit. And so I want to walk you through the different frameworks that I use. There's nine different ones to help me come to this realization that, hey, honestly, this is kind of the warning signals. These are not the right people for the business. And this comes after hiring people for the last decade. And because I've been hiring people for the last decade, like my pattern recognition has only gotten better and better over time. And in addition, I have more examples of what it looks like when somebody is not a great hire and what it looks like when somebody is an exceptional team member. So let's go through framework number one. And this is going to be the gut feeling. This is that gut check. And most, like so many people say, well, what is your gut say? What does that even mean? Right.Josh Hadley 00:02:09 What does that mean? I truly believe, like there we all have a soul inside of us, and there's something about that spiritual energy inside of us that I think is leading and guiding us on a daily basis. We just don't even know it like. But I think it does teach us things on a regular basis. And so it is that light and light is attracted to other light. And so I believe that when we make those gut decisions, it's really our conscious, that soul that is speaking into us, whether this is the right fit or it's not. And oftentimes this has been the number one indicator for me as to whether, like, somebody is going to be a great hire or not. Is that feeling that I get from the moment that I watch their case study that they put together for the business, and also the interview that I conducted What? That team member. If I'm getting that good, like, gut feeling, so to speak, those are very positive signs. But if I'm ever getting that feeling of, like, an uneasiness or like maybe that's the warning signal.Josh Hadley 00:03:15 So that's framework number one is like right down the gut feeling, your intuition that comes to you almost immediately because your brain is going to be able to begin rationalizing almost anybody, and you can rationalize anybody into almost any different role, but don't let your brain do that. And so often I've had that happen to me. Framework number two is start the hiring process as soon as you possibly can. And the reason why you want to start the hiring process as soon as you possibly can is because guess what? Finding the right person is going to take time. And so first off, I'm going to go through my framework. And before I ever extend an offer to somebody I'm going to ask myself, how many applicants have I even seen? How many people even applied to this job? My goal is that I've got 1000 applicants for every single one of my positions....
