It's called mineral balancing for a reason because throwing random electrolytes into your body without a roadmap can actually make you feel worse.  Today, I'm sitting down with Matthew Coffman, founder of Valence Nutraceuticals, to talk about why your mineral strategy needs a serious upgrade. Matthew shares his personal story of growing up in Flint, Michigan, during the lead crisis, how improper mercury filling removal contributed to his addiction struggles, and why he believes heavy metal toxicity is the cause of so many cases of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.  We explore the groundbreaking work of Dr. Hans Nieper (1928-1998), and how his mineral chelates, combined with Dr. Paul Eck's ratios, are creating faster detox results than traditional protocols.  He also explains why calcium has been unfairly demonized, the connection between glyphosate, manganese, and Lyme disease, and why you can no longer rely on food alone to get the minerals you need.   "Supplementing one individual mineral without any idea of where your HTMA is or any kind of data, it can cause imbalances in other systems." ~ Matthew Coffman In This Episode: - Why taking minerals individually is the wrong approach - Using HTMA to guide calcium and magnesium ratios - How balanced minerals trigger natural detoxification - Why calcium is not the enemy - The real reasons we are so mineral-depleted - Matt's personal health collapse and addiction recovery - The Flint, Michigan lead water crisis - Manganese, glyphosate, and the Lyme connection - Who was Dr. Hans Nieper, and why his work matters - Why Valence supplements are different   Products & Resources Mentioned: Valence Nutraceuticals: Practitioners and individuals can explore the full product line and new practitioner mini course at https:/site./valencenutraceuticals.com  Puori Grass Fed Whey Protein: Use code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy for 32% off plus a free shaker on your first subscription order.

After his own health collapsed in 2018 following years of heavy metal exposure, addiction, and a Lyme disease diagnosis, he immersed himself in mineral balancing through hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). His company merges the mineral chelate research of German physician Dr. Hans Nieper with the HTMA protocols of Dr. Paul Eck, creating a next-generation supplement line used by practitioners worldwide. Matt grew up in Flint, Michigan, and experienced the lead water crisis firsthand, which deepened his understanding of how environmental toxicity drives chronic illness.

Flint, Michigan was once known as one of America's most prosperous industrial cities. Decades of deindustrialization and a water crisis changed that, but crisis isn't the whole story. Laura Keen of GiveDirectly joins the podcast to explore the resilience behind the popular headlines, the gaps in America's safety net, and what the expanded Child Tax Credit revealed about child poverty.

In Luke chapter 10, the Lord appointed seventy disciples and sent them ahead of Him into the places He would soon visit. We don't know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching.

On this week's episode of Three Ravens we're headed to a Welsh county with two separate sections - historic Flintshire!The county where Edward I began his conquest of Wales, the prehistory of Flintshire is just as interesting as what's happened more recently. And more recently the county was the place where the global price of lead was set - it is a major mover and shaker as counties go, with or without its 'Flintshire Detached' section!From the 3,500 year old Gold Cape of Mold to the country house home of four-time Prime Minister of Great Britain William Gladstone, the last stone castle built by the Welsh to a site of pilgrimage that has been in use for 1,300 years, there's tonnes to talk about!Plus, bolstered by some extracts of this week's Local Legends interview with author and Flintshire historian David Rowe, it turns out the county has heaps of folklore, too. From ghosts and giant legless frogs with bat wings to The Demon of Flint, some excellent examples of folk magic, and "The Stone of Lamentation" we revel in the strangeness of it all.Then though, it's time for Martin's story, "Deborah's Well," a story of a woman slain by her brother, but who walks on, and has done so for a very long time...We hope that you enjoy the episode, and will speak to you again on Thursday with a brand new episode of Forgotten Melodies all about Love Songs before the full interview with David comes out on Saturday!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, we take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Some 240 million gallons of raw sewage have been dumped into the Potomac River in Washington, DC thanks to a collapsed pipe and the incompetent DC Water utility.  The leadership of DC Water has shown over and over again that their priority is not doing a good job, but ensuring the "right" color of its employees. DC Water is a woke, DEI failure.  The Chairman of the Board, Unique Morris-Hughes had no utility experience before getting hired.  The DC Water Director, David Gadis, was also involved in the Flint, Michigan water disaster. #BobbyEberle #RawSewage #PotomacDisaster

Hailing from America's Rust Belt, hardened nu-metal underdogs KING 810 have built a towering sonic reputation around themes of poverty, crime and the real-world experiences linked to their hometown of Flint, Michigan. Unleashing their debut album Memoirs of a Murderer in 2014, KING 810's maiden LP reached #18 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums charts and #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers charts, with the group since forging their own path as an independent band through numerous albums.Earlier this year, KING 810 unveiled two palpitating releases, Rustbelt Nu Metal and K7 Rustbelt Nu Metal 2, with both LPs captured in front of a live audience in compelling and rambunctious fashion, and a promised third album in the Rustbelt series still yet to come.A band renowned for never holding back when it comes to their performances, KING 810 surge with chaos and intensity in a live setting, balanced with raw catharsis and an unwavering audience connection driven by lead vocalist David Gunn. And while often perceived as controversial due to the reality of their lives spent growing up on the streets of a deeply troubled city, the band's balance of heavy discomfort and spiritual insight has led to them becoming seasoned festival performers, with the likes of Download Festival, Rock am Ring in their wake, along with their own acclaimed headline shows and sharing stages with many of the scene's elite, including Korn, Slipknot and Alpha Wolf. Previously appearing at the final edition of Soundwave in 2015, KING 810 also most recently toured Australia in 2024, supporting In Hearts Wake, with Everblack Media noting of their Brisbane support slot: "for a band who has not been to Australia in over 10 years, they certainly got a warm welcome back with the crowd moshing to every song". But in 2026, it's headline prime-time for the ferocious quartet; and KING 810 will not be pulling any punches.HEAVY spoke with Gunn to find out more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Margarette Eby was murdered in 1986. In an investigation led by Genesee County (MI) Prosecutor Arthur Busch and the Michigan State Police, two cold case rape-murders were solved using the most advance forensic science available.Key details regarding the case:Date: She was found on November 9, 1986, having last been seen on November 7, 1986.Location: She was murdered in her home at the Mott family estate in Flint, Michigan.Perpetrator: Jeffrey Gorton, a sprinkler system installer who worked on the estate, was identified via DNA evidence and charged in 2002.Outcome: Gorton pleaded no contest in Genesee County, Michigan (Flint) to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison. We walk you through how a partial print on a faucet and carefully stored biological evidence waited years for the right moment, then unlocked a chain of breakthroughs that tied two murders to one man.We break down why so many late‑20th‑century investigations stalled: reliance on eyewitness memory, confessions, and limited lab tests that hinted at guilt but rarely proved identity. Then we zoom into the tools that changed the map. AFIS took fingerprint comparison from magnifying glasses to searchable databases, and STR DNA profiling built full genetic identities from the tiniest trace. With CODIS linking labs across states, an old profile from Flint collided with a new profile from a hotel near an airport, revealing a single serial predator hiding in plain sight. Along the way, we revisit the Mary Sullivan case in Boston and the capture of the Golden State Killer to show how forensic genealogy fills gaps when offenders aren't in criminal databases.What ties it all together isn't luck—it's infrastructure. Proper evidence storage turns slides and swabs into time‑delayed witnesses. Dedicated cold case units create focus where daily caseloads can't. Updated databases make every new arrest, every new algorithm, and every fresh upload ripple across past scenes. For families, a late arrest doesn't erase loss, but it affirms that loved ones were not forgotten. For offenders, the takeaway is stark: time no longer offers cover.If this story moved you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review telling us which case changed your view of cold case work. Your voice helps fund the labs, units, and training that keep justice from aging out.The Mitten Channel is a network of podcasts.

Mandatory celibacy has shaped the Roman Catholic Church for nearly a millennium, yet questions continue to surface about its origins, purpose, and long-term impact on clergy, leadership, and the faithful. Why did the Church require priestly celibacy? Was it theological, political, or institutional? And what might the future hold for reform? In this episode of Your Radical Truth, Deacon Margaret Mary O'Connor sits down with Catholic feminist writer, theologian, and independent Catholic deacon Debra Maria Flint to examine one of the most debated disciplines in Church history. Drawing from her groundbreaking book The Sins of Mandatory Celibacy, Flint explores how power, doctrine, property, gender dynamics, and cultural forces helped reshape the priesthood and influence the Catholic Church for centuries. Flint shares her remarkable personal journey from an agnostic upbringing in Birmingham, England, to converting to Catholicism at 21, pursuing theological studies, and building a respected career in safeguarding and social care inspection. After years of institutional leadership and investigative work, she discerned a consecrated life before confronting the realities of Church structures that ultimately redirected her path toward advocacy and reform. Listeners will discover: • The historical origins of mandatory celibacy and why many early priests were married • How Church law evolved and what drove the prohibition of clerical marriage • The connection between celibacy, institutional control, and property • The cultural consequences of an all-male clerical hierarchy • Evidence of women leaders and deacons in early Christianity • Structural questions surrounding secrecy, loneliness, and clergy life • Whether a married priesthood could reshape Church culture • Why restoring the female diaconate remains a critical conversation • The tension between tradition and reform inside the Catholic Church Flint emphasizes that celibacy itself is not the issue. Rather, the concern is whether a spiritual calling can remain authentic when it is mandated instead of freely chosen. The conversation also addresses the difficult reality of abuse within Christian institutions and explores how transparency, balanced leadership, and inclusion may help foster healthier communities of faith. Co-authored with former priest Paul Murphy Sanderson, The Sins of Mandatory Celibacy brings both scholarly research and lived experience to a subject that continues to influence millions of Catholics worldwide. This episode invites listeners to step beyond assumption, examine the historical record, and consider what renewal could look like for the modern Church. If you are interested in Catholic Church history, priestly celibacy, women in ministry, Church reform, theology, or religious leadership, this is a conversation you will not want to miss. The Sins of Mandatory Celibacy is available through Wipf and Stock, Amazon, and major booksellers. More at: www.yourradicaltruth.com/048-debra-maria-flint 

On today's show, host Dana Pellebon is in conversation with Director Ilesa Duncan and cast of cullud wattah,  Jnae Thompson (Ainee), J'Nya Smith (Reesee), Jayda Smith (Plum), and Faerie Afi Mlatawou (Reese/Plum understudy). It is 2016 and it has been 936 days and counting since Flint, Michigan, has had clean water. Third-generation General Motors employee Marion finds herself on the cusp of a promotion until her sister begins participating in protests accusing the company of poisoning the water. Forced to confront their past and weigh their limited options for the future, the family of Black women finds their tight-knit unit threatened by more than just the toxicity of the water. Written by UW-Madison and First Wave alumna Erika Dickerson-Despenza, this powerful play deconstructs the linear passage of time to ponder the choices we make for the sake of our survival.  They discuss the ongoing Flint water crisis and break down a key refrain from the play, “there's money in war, and there's war in money.” They also talk about the actors’ relationship to their characters, their favorite moments in the play, and what it's like to perform with an all-Black and femme-identified cast.  cullud wattah is showing later this month at the UW Vilas Hall-Mitchell Theatre. Tickets are available here.  Featured image of J'Nya Smith, Jayda Smith, Dana Pellebon, Faerie Afi Mlatawou, Ilesa Duncan, and Jnae Thompson. Did you enjoy this story?

Don and Dude keep the “I Love the 80s” trip rolling into 1985, when rock grew darker and more spiritual while RB slipped fully into the age of drum machines and neon-lit bedrooms. One of us drops the needle on a brooding British rock record that turns goth shadows and psychedelic guitar into stadium-sized transcendence, while the other sinks into a self-produced Michigan R & B debut where DIY cassette demos, sensual slow jams, and Minneapolis-inspired grooves rewire romance for the electronic era. The AlbumsThe Cult – Love (1985) The Cult's second album finds Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy fusing post-punk tension, psychedelic guitars, and classic rock heft into a moody, hypnotic sound that feels heavy without ever turning hostile. Producer Steve Brown surrounds chiming Gretsch riffs, tribal grooves, and spiritual lyrics with spacious, atmospheric mixes, creating an elemental world where songs like “Nirvana,” “She Sells Sanctuary,” and “Brother Wolf, Sister Moon” chase transcendence more than aggression. Across its eight-minute epics and goth-tinted anthems, the record helps define mid-80s alternative rock by proving that big riffs, ritualistic repetition, and belief can make rock feel massive and mystical at the same time.Ready for the World – Ready for the World (1985) Cut largely in a Flint, Michigan studio and kept in near-demo form, Ready for the World's self-titled debut turns a shoestring, self-produced setup into a sleek blend of synth-funk, electro grooves, and unabashed bedroom RB. Melvin Riley Jr. and company lean on drum machines, DX-era keys, and smooth tenor vocals to deliver everything from slow-burn seductions like “Tonight” and “Human Toy” to the Prince-adjacent smash “Oh Sheila,” which briefly fooled listeners into thinking it was a Minneapolis release. The album's platinum run and crossover chart success show how mid-80s RB could sound futuristic and intimate at once, nudging the genre toward the stripped-down, synth-forward sound that would shape Quiet Storm and early New Jack Swing.Diggin' AlbumsThe Molotovs – Wasted on Youth (2026) A punchy London debut that slams together punk urgency, new wave hooks, and garage grit, tracing modern youth burnout and identity crises over short, shout-along anthems built for sweaty club stages.Mr. Mister – Welcome to the Real World (1985) A polished 80s pop-rock landmark where shimmering synths, big choruses, and studio-perfect performances turn “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie” into FM radio staples with quietly existential streaks.Softcult – When a Flower Doesn't Grow (2026) Canadian twins Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn deliver a grimy, shoegaze-leaning full-length that weds fuzzed-out guitars and hazy vocals to unflinching songs about gender violence, trauma, and systemic misogynyBartees Strange – Magic Boy (2026) A shape-shifting set that pulls folk, emo, hip hop, and indie rock into intimate, guitar-forward songs, reconnecting his early acoustic roots with the expansive, genre-scrambling vision of his later work.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up?

Intermittent fasting may not be the magic bullet for weight loss it appeared to be. Researchers analysed 22 global trials and found no clear advantage over standard dietary advice. Weight loss was broadly similar to traditional dieting, and there was no strong evidence of extra metabolic benefits. Body Torque Gym Founder Alex Flint told Mike Hosking intermittent fasting is just a really good method for portion control, but it has a much better marketing department. He says if you can stick to it, it's a fantastic tool, but it's not superior to regular calorie control methods and eating patterns. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remastered edition: re‑edited and shortened for clarity and pace.A cargo aircraft built for tanks, not toddlers. A city collapsing in April 1975. And a young Air Force medic from Flint who boarded anyway.In this Radio Free Flint interview, Flint‑born Air Force hero Sgt. Phillip Wise recounts the harrowing crash of an Air Force transport plane loaded with hundreds of orphaned Vietnamese‑American babies, his survival in the cargo hold, and his decades‑long quest to honor the lost and the rescued.Wise traces his journey from Flint Southwestern High School to the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a senior medical technician on aeromedical missions across Southeast Asia. When President Gerald Ford authorized Operation Babylift to evacuate Vietnamese orphans, Wise's unit transitioned from the DC-9 Nightingale to the massive C-5A Galaxy to move hundreds of children in a single flight.Fifteen minutes after takeoff from Saigon, the rear cargo doors failed. The aircraft rapidly decompressed. Hydraulics were crippled. The crew fought to return to Tan Son Nhut Air Base before the C-5A crash-landed in rice fields outside the city.The disaster became one of the most devastating aviation accidents of the Vietnam War.Wise survived the cargo compartment impact and later received the Airman's Medal for heroism. He reflects on rescue efforts, months of recovery, reunions with now-adult adoptees, and the complicated legacy of Operation Babylift—heroism, loss, identity, and the ethics of wartime evacuation.This is a firsthand account of the 1975 Operation Babylift crash, told by a Michigan veteran who lived through one of the final tragedies of the Vietnam War.Sgt. Wise wrote the book "Fragile Delivery: Operation Babylift" which sheds light on the Boeing C-5A crash. His writing sheds light on the doomed flight, the brave men and women involved in Operation Babylift, and one man's story of near-impossible survival in the horrifying shadow of death as the plane split violently apart in swampy rice paddies.Sgt Wise was the only crew on the cargo area of the plane to survive the tragic plane crash. Wise told the Flint Journal, "The doctors thought I would be a vegetable. They thought I wouldn't be able to see out of my left eye or to walk,” the Flint resident and decorated veteran said. “I came through with 20-20 vision. I became a mailman. I missed one day in 13 years."The U.S. Air Force bestowed upon Phillip Wise a medal for his heroism for his part in the military operation to rescue these children.  Phillip Wise is part of a veterans group Peaceful Warriors who speak across Michigan and the US about their role in helpThe Mitten Channel is a network of podcasts.

As we move towards Total Systemic Change, shifting from the death cult of predatory capitalism towards a future we'd actually be proud to leave behind, our absolute baseline non-negotiable foundations must be Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. We talk a lot about regenerative agriculture on this podcast, and how we can rebuild living soils from the inert growing media we've created in the hellscapes of Industrial Agriculture.  One day, we'll talk about Clean Air.  Today, we're talking about water, that utterly essential part of our biological and spiritual lives.  It should be clean. It should be safe to drink, to swim in, for us and all the species with whom we share our beautiful blue pearl of a watery planet. As we all know… it's not.  It's not because our system values profit over the vibrancy of life. It's not because people in suits have found that if they treat our rivers as open sewers and our oceans as waste dumps they can get away with it.  It's not because for too long, we've believed the stories that say there is no alternative and this is the way the world has to be. But the masks are coming off and activism is increasingly being seen as an act of radical, necessary resistance that can bring people together, bridging across the false, toxic cultural divides that the establishment creates so that we fight ourselves instead of working towards a world founded on different values.  The push for clean water is one of the most unifying drives we have.  It doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum, you don't vote for sewage to be poured into the rivers, for the dead zones in the oceans to grow and join up, for the rain to be full of forever toxins so that some suit in a company C-suites can buy themselves a new private jet and an invitation to Jeffrey Epstein's private parties. In the UK, we're in an almost unique position because back in the 80s, Margaret Thatcher saw Pinochet privatising the water and sewage companies in Chile and decided this was a fine idea and imported it wholesale to the UK. Our water and sewage companies were privatised at a steal in 1989 and pretty much everyone is agreed this is an incredibly bad idea. Except successive governments.  So people got together and formed their own activist groups based around the rivers near them - there's always at least one - and they are conducting citizen science, holding people's assemblies and generally making enough of a nuisance of themselves that those in power have to take notice.  All this being the case, it's World Water Day on March 22nd every year and this year - we're recording in 2026 for those of you who listen years later - we're talking to Claire Kirby co-founder of Up Sewage Creek and a member of the Sewage Campaign Network.  I first met Claire when my last dog was young - so nearly 20 years ago.  She has a degree in Environmental Science from King's College London and then went on to become a Pet Behaviour Specialist who used to run rather wonderful puppy training classes.  In 2020, following an episode of this podcast, she undertook a training with Trust the People and went on to co-found Up Sewage Creek, an activist group based around the River Severn in Shrewsbury on the borders between England and Wales.  More recently, she has become an active part of the Sewage Campaign Network and is actively campaigning against the latest Government White Paper on the Water Industry which as much of a greenwash/whitewash as you'd expect.  This was a lively conversation, a lot of it focussed on the situation in England, mainly because we live here and it's pretty bad.  But wherever you are in the world, you have water somewhere near you and I guarantee it's not clean - and there will be people around you who care that it become cleaner.  Clearly if you're in a war zone, even if it's an as-yet undeclared civil war, this is not your highest priority and I really do want to honour the people of Minnesota, Maine and Oregon who are taking to the streets in freezing weather to face the Terrorist gangs unleashed by the US government. You have other things to think about than the quality of your water, though not far away in Flint, Michigan, there is one of the most egregious failures of local politics ever to express itself in the quality of the water, so this is clearly a universal problem.   We each do what we can. For those of us not facing pepper spray, uniting our communities so that nobody is ever prepared to join up to the government's shock troops might be the front line.  If testing water is your thing, please do it.  And to find out how and why to connect and converge, let's talk to Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek.

Host Will Rasmussen talks with Flint Rasmussen on today's Rodeo Roadshow.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize these magical flower arrangements were more than exotic flowers and divine creativity. Much more than the product of artistry, thoughtfulness, and generosity. Such a long time to understand how important, how transformative, was their presence - ushering us from our daily existence into the sublime. These arrangements, these gifts - and the intention, artistry, and commitment to create them - inspired us without spoken word or sound. I imagine these creations told us we were safe. That we were held in the safest of ways. That we were seen, that we were known, maybe - that we were loved. I look at them from time to time, and they always make me smile. For the memorable, unrepeatable experiences they represent. For the joy they created in us. For the spirit that joined us. For the outpouring of love that surrounded them.

Remastered edition: re-edited and shortened for clarity and pace.We trace Jeff Natchez's path from Flint open gyms and sandlots to a Detroit Tigers draft pick, rookie ball under a young Jim Leyland, and a second career in optometry. Honest reflections on choices, mentors, and coming home frame a story about resilience and community.A Flint kid grows up in the city's golden era, spends every spare hour on open courts and dusty diamonds, and learns how far grit can take you. That kid becomes a Tigers draft pick, rides the rookie-ball buses with a 26-year-old Leyland, and shares a field with future stars like Lance Parrish and Mark Fidrych. Then spring training delivers the phone call that changes the dream's shape—and what happens next is the heart of this conversation.We sit down with optometrist and former multi-sport standout Jeff Natchez to trace the full arc: Saginaw Valley showdowns with Flint Northern and Pontiac Central, the scout who believed early, and the surreal shock of patrolling right field at Tiger Stadium as a high school senior. Jeff opens up about the hard fork at eighteen—college under Bo Schembechler or a pro contract—and why hindsight suggests a different choice, even as the minors delivered priceless lessons in professionalism, poise, and preparation. The details are vivid and human: cold opening nights in Clinton, Iowa, clubhouse laughter, and the way Leyland handled teenagers like a steady metronome.The turn toward optometry isn't a retreat—it's a reinvention. A long drive to Las Vegas sparks a plan, Ferris State University sharpens the craft, and a role in Reno with an ophthalmologist builds a second life anchored in precision and care. Jeff explains how the same fundamentals that defined Flint—accountability, mentorship, and access—shaped his work and his return home. We also honor the mentors who mattered, from playground supervisors who taught the basics to local legends like Rick Leach who showed what “it” looks like up close.If you love Michigan sports history, underdog resilience, or stories about changing course with grace, this episode belongs on your list.

In this special bonus episode, we're bringing you a global growth-focused presentation from DSU Fall 2025.  Sol Flint, General Director of Latin America at Nature's Sunshine, explains why Latin America is one of the most underpenetrated and opportunity-rich regions in direct selling. She shares how community leadership, trust and omnichannel execution are the real growth levers, and why companies that invest now can unlock Asia-level scale.

This week, on a shorter-than-usual episode, Ashleigh and Flint take their collective feet off the accelerator and approach things in a more thoughtful way. But there is still some news talk! Including:  CW: This episode contains a discussion around the actions of ICE, in the USA. There's no easy way of going over this.  Closer to home, the Council of Europe has voted to ban conversion therapy, despite the best efforts of a certain anti-trans group... In fact that particular group had a double-whammy of deserved disappointment and we'll tell you all about it in Loser's Corner. Followed by a considered conversation about how, in these difficult times, are we to rest. Maybe there's ways of passing time that are in and of themselves radical. From the immortal Terry Pratchett: "It's not worth doing unless someone, somewhere would much rather you weren't doing it." References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep148

"Palisades Park" (from Wikipedia) Chuck Barris wrote a song about an amusement park and it was suggested he use the name of an amusement park as the title. One night he was in Manhattan when he looked toward the New Jersey Palisades Cliffs, on which the amusement park sat. That was when inspiration hit and the title was added. Years later the Palisades Amusement Park closed, on September 12, 1971.[2] A tribute to New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park, it is an up-tempo rock and roll tune led by a distinctive organ part. The track also incorporates amusement park sound effects, including the sounds of screaming riders on the roller coasters, and the quoting of a slower version of "Entrance of the Gladiators", played on an organ imitating a hurdy-gurdy or calliope. In the song, the singer takes a walk after dark and discovers Palisades Park, where he meets and falls in love with a girl. Among the list of rides and attractions listed in the song are: Shoot the Chute, Rocket Ship, Roller Coaster, Loop the Loop, Merry Go Round, Tunnel of Love, and the Ferris Wheel. Chart performanceReleased by Swan Records as a B-side to "June, July and August," "Palisades Park" broke in when a Flint, Michigan radio DJ played it by mistake. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 23–30 June 1962,[3] On the Hot R&B Sides chart, the song went to #15.[4] "Palisades Park" was the biggest hit of Cannon's career.[5] And, check out Freddy Cannon's webpage: https://www.freddycannon.com/default.htm
