An impressive alliance of groups have been preparing for months to counter Trump's threats to Democrats in the midterms. Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward and a member of The Senate Democrats' Election Protection Tast Force, explains why “we are going to have free and fair elections” in November. Also: Elon Musk calls Christopher Nolan's film “The Odyssey” “part of a left-wing plan” to “destroy Western Civilization.” John Powers has a differnet view – he's critic-at-large on NPR's “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How Brian Eno expanded the possibilities of what music and sound can be. Eno is a trailblazing musician and producer who's worked on seminal records by U2, David Bowie, the Talking Heads and Coldplay, among others. But Eno isn't just a great collaborator with other artists; he's also a great collaborator with machines. Long before we started worrying about A.I. replacing human creativity, Eno was tinkering with generative systems to pioneer ambient music – a genre that has deeply influenced how we listen to music today. We recorded this conversation in 2025, and it's one of my favorite recent episodes of the show. So I wanted to resurface it this summer for anyone who may have missed it the first time. This episode contains strong language.

Journalist Jonathan Swan's book, ‘Regime Change,' co-written with fellow ‘New York Times' reporter Maggie Haberman, is a portrait of President Trump's second term – which Swan calls "unrecognizable" from term one. The reporting duo interviewed over 1,000 sources for the book, including the president himself. Their work adds rich detail to developments that were generally known, and explores stories that had somehow slipped under the radar.

Markets "can't kick the geopolitical risk" heightened by renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran, says Kevin Hincks. However, earnings from Netflix (NFLX), ASML (ASML), and big banks have potential to breathe new life into Wall Street. However, pressure in AI memory stocks like Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), and SK Hynix (SKHY) offer a short-term headwind. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join me for a King Hero interview with Will Keller, who has passionately pursued many avenues of freedom, including reality itself.While Will is best known for teaching Natural Law, this conversation explores a different question:What does it even mean to be real?We'll look at the difference between reality and philosophy, reality and hope, reality and what we think should be, along with the very real experiences within the human psyche that are often overlooked.Inside this conversation, we'll explore:reality as a path to freedom (and what freedom even is)the relationship between Natural Law and lived experiencewhy so much of modern life is disconnected from realitythe human tendency to substitute ideals for direct experiencethe importance of recognizing what is actually happening within ourselveshow greater contact with reality can transform the way we livehow freedom and responsibility are connectedThe more clearly we see what is, the more consciously we can choose how to respond, be responsible, and gain greater freedom.Join us for a conversation about bringing attention back to what is, inside and out, and why that may be one of the most powerful acts of freedom available to us.About Will KellerWill Keller is a public speaker, educator, and freedom advocate dedicated to teaching Natural Law and the principles of morality, consciousness, and human freedom. Through presentations, podcasts, and educational content, his work bridges philosophy, metaphysics, and practical action, helping people better understand the human condition.As Will says:"It's not about watering down wisdom; it's about inviting everyone to drink from the well of knowledge."His work seeks to make profound ideas accessible, encouraging people to explore consciousness, morality, and the deeper questions of existence with clarity and curiosity.Learn more at:https://willkeller.com ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredIf we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

What happens when you realize no one is coming to do what you know needs to be done?In this King Hero interview, I'm joined by Ben of Cambridge, whose path led him from quiet observation to direct action during the rollout of 5G technology in the UK.After researching the technology for himself and concluding that it posed serious concerns, Ben chose to act. He equipped himself with the evidence he believed he needed to stand on firm legal ground, taking responsibility for his own decisions and accepting the consequences that followed.His actions resulted in two arrests and no charges being laid, reinforcing his conviction that ordinary people can learn, prepare, and stand for what they believe.Our conversation, however, goes beyond activism.We'll explore the inner journey that accompanies taking meaningful action—the place where fear, purpose, courage, and trust intersect.Inside this episode, we discuss:what inspired Ben to take actionpreparing to stand in law and personal responsibilitythe experience of being arrested and what it taught himthe relationship between fear and couragdiscovering purpose through lived experiencelearning to trust silence and inner guidancehow the Hero's Journey unfolds when no path has been laid before youEvery Hero's Journey reaches a point where certainty disappears and something deeper begins to lead.About BenFor Ben, that place became silence.Join us for a conversation about courage, responsibility, purpose, and the unexpected gifts that can emerge when we trust the path unfolding before us.Ben from Cambridge, UK, decided to take action against the rollout of 5G technology in his local area when he realized no one else was going to do it for him. After researching what he believed were the dangers of the technology being installed and concluding that it was military weapons technology, he prepared himself with the evidence he believed was necessary to defend his actions in law.He was arrested twice and not charged, an experience that strengthened his belief that others can also learn to stand on informed conviction.Following a profound dark night of the soul and a period of purposelessness, Ben came to recognize the gifts hidden within his journey. Today he speaks about allowing fear to become a guide rather than something to escape, and about finding purpose through direct experience.Stay tuned about his adventures:https://t.me/TrustTheSilenceFor more from Beth, her books, her social media links, Telegram Groups, and to apply to become a member of the House of Free Will Ministry visit: https://linktr.ee/bethmartens If we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

More than fifty years after it first sailed onto the charts, Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) remains one of the most beloved songs of the 1970s. In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Sandy Kaye welcomes Elliot Lurie, the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter behind Looking Glass, for a fascinating conversation about the song that changed his life forever.Elliot shares the remarkable story of how Brandy was written in a farmhouse in rural New Jersey, revealing that the song originally began with the name "Sandy" before evolving into the fictional barmaid the world would come to know. He explains how the song developed slowly, almost like writing a short story, and how the band painstakingly recorded multiple versions before finally creating the version that would become a number one hit.The conversation explores the early days of Looking Glass, from playing long nights in bars and fraternity houses to chasing a record deal and living together in a rented farmhouse where the band wrote and rehearsed. Elliot recalls the moment when Brandy unexpectedly caught fire at a Washington DC radio station and how that single moment changed the band's fortunes forever.Although many people regard Looking Glass as a one-hit wonder, Elliot discusses the band's later successes, including Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne, and reflects honestly on the challenges of trying to follow a massive hit. He speaks candidly about the disappointment of his solo career and the uncertainty he faced during the late 1970s.Listeners will also discover Elliot's remarkable second career in Hollywood as a music supervisor, where he worked on major films and television productions including Alien 3, A Night at the Roxbury and Riding in Cars with Boys. He explains the vital role music supervisors play in matching songs to film and television and how the business changed dramatically over the years.Now performing selectively, Elliot still enjoys the thrill of hearing audiences sing every word of Brandy more than five decades after its release. His reflections on creativity, success, reinvention and ageing offer warmth, humour and genuine wisdom.This is a wonderful conversation about one of the great songs of the '70s, the pressures of success, the importance of perseverance and the extraordinary staying power of music that connects across generations.

"All the world's a stage."This familiar quote has many layers of meaning, and this week Micah Ellars returns to Beth of Fresh Air to unpack them with me.The stage has become a powerful symbol in our culture. It's a place where our attention is drawn outward, toward the performers and away from ourselves.In freedom movements, the word actor has even become synonymous with liar, as many people recognize the role performance plays in politics, media, and public life.But what if the stage isn't only "out there"?What if the stage also exists within our daily lives and communities?And what if the patterns that allow staged deception to flourish are already embedded in our own psychology?What We'll ExploreThe symbolism of the stageWhy performance has such power over attentionActing, identity, and illusionHow staged deception worksThe role archetypes play in our perceptionHow we can reclaim the stage for conscious creationWith Special Guest: Micah EllarsMicah brings his unique perspective as a filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of Gurdjieff's work to explore the deeper meaning of the stage.Together we'll look at how acting can serve illusion, and how it can also become a powerful tool for self-remembering, conscious expression, and transformation.Join us for a fresh look at the stage, the roles we play, and what becomes possible when we begin to see the performance clearly.>> Message me

The Author Events Series presents James Martin, SJ | Work in Progress  In Conversation with Tamala Edwards Work in Progress, set in the Philly suburbs, is a snapshot of several years-first as a boy, then as a teenager, and finally as a young adult--of being thrown into a series of jobs for which Martin had zero training. He had never set foot in a restaurant kitchen before working as a busboy and dishwasher; never stepped onto a golf course before working as a caddy; and had never seen a factory floor before working as an assembly-line worker. He almost always felt uncomfortable, unsettled, and uneasy. But, like many of us, he needed the money. This coming-of-age story is set in the 1960s and 1970s, a lighthearted tale for readers who enjoy personal narratives, and it's unlike anything Father Martin has written before. As he puts it, "This is a spiritual memoir from a different angle ... told 'slant' as Emily Dickinson might say." Each chapter features photos of memories and milestones throughout Father Martin's young life. If you're an aficionado of snafus, you won't be disappointed. He's not the hero of these stories, more a hapless teenager who learns in each job, even the ones he loathes, something about the value of work, about what it means to be an adult, about people, and about life overall. Rev. James Martin, SJ, born in Philadelphia and raised in the suburbs, is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication, and author of the New York Times bestsellers Learning to Pray, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. Father Martin is a frequent commentator in the national and international media, having appeared on all the major networks and outlets, like The Colbert Report, NPR's Fresh Air, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Tamala Edwards joined 6abc in January of 2005. She is the weekday co-anchor of Action News Mornings from 4 a.m to 7 a.m. and is a regular co-host of Inside Story, conducting probing interviews with newsmakers like Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Bob Casey, Mayor Michael Nutter and others, as well as moderating many election debates. Prior to joining 6abc, Tamala Edwards was the anchor of ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning.

Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable.   (recorded 2/5/2026)

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guest Dagmar Stansova to talk about the process of detoxing what may be the most heinous of all the toxic metals:Nickel.Who knew??For most people, nickel only comes up in conversations about skin reactions, jewelry allergies, or metal sensitivities.Yet the medical literature is filled with research on nickel toxicity and its effects on human health. Somehow, much of this information has remained hidden in plain sight.Thanks to the work of Dr. Garrett Smith and a growing number of health adventurers—including Dagmar and myself—many people have been experimenting with nickel detox over the past several months and sharing their observations and results.Why Nickel?Nickel is everywhere.It's in food, water, cookware, consumer products, and many of the things people regularly encounter in daily life.Unlike some toxic metals that receive a great deal of attention, nickel often flies under the radar.Yet its influence on health may be far more significant than many people realize.What We'll ExploreWhat damage nickel can do to the bodyHow nickel fits into human biochemistryHow it compares with other toxic metalsThe pathways through which nickel exits the bodyHow to live and eat low nickel (since zero nickel isn't possible)Why nickel toxicity may have been overlooked in many alternative health circlesHow exposure may disproportionately affect people actively pursuing health and wellnessWith Special Guest: Dagmar StansovaDagmar returns to share her own experiences, observations, and discoveries from the nickel detox journey.Together we'll compare notes, discuss what we've learned, and explore why this topic is generating so much interest among those investigating the root causes of chronic health challenges.Get De-NickeledSometimes the most important discoveries are hiding in plain sight.Join us as we explore one of the most overlooked pieces of the health puzzle.***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredIf we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

More than 25 years ago, I left what I now openly call a cult.If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention my years in India and the spiritual organization I devoted myself to in my twenties.In 1999, when victims began coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse by the group's leader, I left immediately.At the time, I was fighting for my life with Stage 4 lymphoma. The choice was clear. Whatever benefit I had received through the teachings, I could no longer ignore the reality of the man at the center of it.I cut the kite strings.And for the most part, I left that chapter behind.A Story That Reopened the PastRecently, I received an advance copy of a book written by someone I knew from those years.Her account fills in many of the gaps that remained mysteries to me for decades.Until now, much of what happened behind the scenes lived in rumours, fragments, and secondhand stories.Reading her detailed account was devastating.I was shocked in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. Not surprise. Shock.For two days I could barely process what I had learned.The reality was far worse than I could have imagined.Why This MattersThis episode is not about understanding how intelligent, sincere, truth-seeking people can become involved in systems that gradually separate them from their own authority.It's about the difference between genuine inner work and environments that cultivate dependency.It's about recognizing the signs before years, health, relationships, resources, and purpose are consumed by something that doesn't hold your best interest.De-Cult Inner WorkWhat does inner work look like when it belongs to you?What happens when spiritual development is grounded in direct experience, self-observation, and truth rather than personality, hierarchy, or devotion to an authority figure?How can we recognize the warning signs of cult dynamics earlier?How do we leave safely?And how do we recover what was valuable without carrying forward what was harmful?A Cautionary TaleI'm sharing this story in part on behalf of the author, who is currently facing her own life-threatening illness.My hope is that her courage in telling the truth may help others recognize unhealthy dynamics sooner, find their way out safely, and reconnect with a path of inner work rooted in freedom.Join me for this important conversation.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationIf we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with my baby sister, Tina, for one of our favorite things to do - an unfiltered sister yap session. We cover everything from growing up as daughters of divorced parents to navigating our own divorces, healing family wounds, raising kids, and figuring out who we are on the other side of some of life's hardest seasons. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and the kind of stories that only sisters can tell. Tina and I didn't grow up together in the traditional sense after our parents divorced, so we've had a unique journey of finding our way back to each other throughout adulthood. In this episode, we reflect on our childhood, our Portuguese family culture, our relationships with our parents, and the lessons we've learned from staying in marriages longer than we should have.

Did you know that one singer secretly voiced some of the biggest pop hits of the 1970s — all at the same time? Most people have no idea who he was.In this fascinating episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Sandy Kaye chats with legendary British session singer Tony Burrows, the man behind an astonishing string of international hits including Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes), My Baby Loves Lovin', Gimme Dat Ding, United We Stand and many more.Tony reveals the incredible story behind his unique career as one of Britain's most in-demand studio vocalists during the golden age of pop music. While audiences believed these were all separate bands, Tony was often the lead voice behind them all — a situation so unusual that at one point he famously appeared multiple times on Top of the Pops performing with different “groups” on the same show.In this warm and revealing conversation, Tony shares how he deliberately chose life as a studio singer over the pressures of touring and fame, allowing him to become one of the music industry's best-kept secrets. He explains why he never wanted to tour with Edison Lighthouse, how he negotiated royalties that still pay today, and why he believes TikTok has helped introduce Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) to a whole new generation of listeners.Tony also opens up about:Recording the smash hit Gimme Dat Ding in just two takesWhy United We Stand still resonates so strongly todayTouring with The Beatles during the height of BeatlemaniaSinging backing vocals for Elton John, Rod Stewart and Cliff RichardHis contribution to Elton's iconic Tiny DancerThe bizarre moment the BBC reportedly banned him from appearing on televisionThe real story behind Edison Lighthouse and the many studio “bands” of the eraWhy he became more famous in America than in his native UKThere are wonderful behind-the-scenes stories throughout this interview, including Tony's memories of working nonstop in London recording studios, travelling anonymously on the Tube while his songs dominated radio stations worldwide, and the surreal experience of hearing modern audiences rediscover his music decades later through social media.Despite being connected to an extraordinary catalogue of timeless hits, Tony remains remarkably humble and funny throughout the conversation, reflecting on a career that helped shape the sound of classic pop music.If you love '60s and '70s music, studio session stories, classic pop craftsmanship and discovering the hidden figures behind famous songs, this episode is an absolute treat.Listen now to hear the remarkable untold story of the voice behind some of the biggest hits of a generation.

Story is food for humans.We spend a lot of time thinking about what nourishes us physically, emotionally, and mentally, yet many people are starving for story.Not only for information, instructions, and guidance. But authentically told story that carries something real and can be the food for something else real to grow.There are all kinds of stories in the world. Stories that shape cultures. Stories that influence behavior. Stories that travel through families, communities, and generations. Stories that programs tell. Stories that become identities.What interests me most are the authentic lived stories of transformation.The stories that reveal something true, that don't ask you to believe anything, but allow you to witness and know how a transformation unfolded in real time.The Nourishment of StoryA genuine story carries more than information. It carries experience, wisdom, meaning and a transmission of something that was lived and discovered and overcome.Many of the people I've worked with think no one wants to hear their story. Yet even the most ordinary moments can become deeply nourishing when shared authentically.When a story is told from a place of presence, it becomes something others can recognize in themselves which is a feast for the essence of who we are.What We'll Together ExploreWhy story is essential nourishment for human beingsHow stories shape perception and experienceThe stories programs tell and how they sustain themselvesAuthentic stories of transformationWhy people underestimate the value of their own storiesWhat happens when stories are told and re-told over timeHow stories evolve, deepen, and continue to reveal meaningWhat Inspired Re-TellMicah Ellars inspired this podcast, and when he can, I'll have him on for a Part 2—or even Part 3!Today, as I write these notes, I had the honour of hearing more of how his life unfolded. I was hungry and have heard others ask to hear the story behind his wellspring of truth, knowledge, and unique gifts for helping others transform.It was riveting. I was the whole time very aware that there was far more left untold than told.Micah graciously agreed to let me record our conversation and share it with those who are interested in self-remembering and in understanding how he arrived at this place in his life—where he and I are now working together, and where he's bringing his experience in acting, filmmaking, coaching, and teaching into service of that work.He spoke about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that emerged from it. He talked about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that came of it. (Stay tune for more on how to see it soon!!!)I think what I enjoyed most about hearing his story was witnessing how seemingly separate threads of a life can reveal a deeper coherence when seen as a whole.Discover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course

In this episode of the King Hero's Journey, we're deep diving into the Hero's Journey through the lenses of sound, film, stage, archetype, and creation with an extraordinary panel:Roy “FutureMan” WootenKery KG GreeneMicah EllarsWhat brings us together is a shared fascination with the Hero's Journey as a living structure moving through human experience.FutureMan and Kery explore where sound meets the Hero's Journey—through rhythm, music, vibration, improvisation, and the unseen architecture beneath creativity itself.Micah brings his perspective from filmmaking, screenwriting, performance, Gurdjieff's work, and direct exploration of the unconscious and the workings of how art and transformation intersect.And I'll be listening through my own angle on the Journey as a map of conscious experience—one that reveals the patterns draining life force and offers the possibility of stepping beyond those patterns into freedom.This panel conversation moves across multiple dimensions of creation and consciousness.Inside this episode, we explore:how the Hero's Journey shapes sound, visuals, and transformational artstage and screen performance as archetypal expressionactors, musicians, and creators as living carriers of mythic patternsoctaves and the Fibonaccithe esoteric meaning of creation on the Journeythe relationship between rhythm, consciousness, and transformationthe potential impact of creative work on humanitywhere freedom is actually foundThere's a point where art stops being entertainment and begins functioning as a medium for growing what's essentially human.This conversation lives in that territory.And with these three powerful creators together, I suspect we'll go well beyond the planned conversation and into the unexpected synergies that emerge when deep pattern recognition meets lived creative experience.Find Them:Roy “FutureMan” Wootenwww.futuremanmusic.comKery KG GreeneYouTube for Greene Moseshttps://youtube.com/@greeneguy9651?si=bziVHOOk5_3KCNCkCOUNTRY MUSIC HOFhttps://www.countrymusichalloffame.org/fwisNashville Music Academy profilehttps://www.nashvillemusicacademy.org/instructors/kery-kg-greene/Micah Ellarshttps://www.instagram.com/micahellars/Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purpose If we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach. My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family's firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life's work and walk their Hero's Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.Synergy is what happens when something new is created through coming together.In groups, it has a recognizable structure:A common aim and shared intentionReal opportunities for contributionIndividual purpose remaining intact, and something new is bornJames Hillman called this new thing a daimon — a third being or soul that emerges from the wholeness of two or more parts uniting.It's a result of learning, growing, and being porous to those you unite with.That doesn't mean indiscriminately taking in everything like a democracy, but always aiming to grow and expand knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.There's a creative momentum to synergy. Something can come alive that no one person could generate alone.With Special Guest: Micah EllarsSynergize

Liv’s Secrets by Janet Levine https://www.amazon.com/Livs-Secrets-Janet-Levine-ebook/dp/B0BSZ5BBKH Janetlevine.com Liv’s Secrets is a passionately envisaged saga of one fictional South African Jewish family, the Weiszs, immigrants from Eastern Europe. One among a great wave of Jewish immigrants in the latter part of the 19th century, washing up mainly in America, but a wavelet of Lithuanian Jews on South Africa’s shores. Alongside the Weisz family, other characters inhabit the novel where historical figures interact with the fictional cast amid the background of South Africa’s racial turmoil and apartheid’s authoritarian iron fist. Not least of the characters is South Africa itself. Landscape of astonishing beauty and nature’s abundant flora and fauna. Decades pass, generations of Weisz family members play out the fully fledged saga-romance, first loves, lust, betrayal, true love, despair and elation, cruelty and evil, hope and fulfilment. In the background the chilling reality of World Wars and escalating racial tensions within South Africa that culminate in the bloody Sharpeville Massacre, March 1960, and its aftermath. From 1960, the saga pivots on the third generation, embodied by Liv Weisz. Five years earlier, a recent divorcee, passionate and headstrong, she heeds the call to become part of the resistance to the authoritarian White apartheid government. And pays an unimaginable price with resounding consequences for many characters, as the country itself undergoes seismic, racially evoked challenges. About the author Janet Levine is an award-nominated author of historical fiction and narrative nonfiction, and a journalist whose work explores South African history, human rights, and the enduring power of literature. She is widely recognized for writing that blends rigorous social history with compelling storytelling, appealing to both literary fiction readers and serious nonfiction audiences. Her latest novel, LIV'S SECRETS, nominated for the 2023 National Book Awards, is a Jewish historical fiction family saga set in South Africa between the 1880s and 1960s. The novel traces the life of Liv Weisz against the backdrop of apartheid-era South Africa, weaving a multigenerational historical narrative that brings personal identity, political change, and intimate human relationships into sharp focus. The book follows Inside Apartheid (1988), her best-selling and critically acclaimed nonfiction work that remains a key text on 20th-century South African history. Levine is also the author of influential nonfiction, including READING MATTERS: How Literature Influences Life, a widely praised work of literary nonfiction that examines how books shape thinking, empathy, and personal growth. Her nonfiction writing is frequently cited by educators, lifelong readers, and cultural commentators. A respected voice in literary and cultural discourse, Levine has been interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross and is a reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. Her work has reached international readers, and she is known for writing that resonates with book clubs, history enthusiasts, and intellectually curious readers. Born in South Africa, Janet Levine later immigrated to the United States. She is currently working on a memoir. More information about her books, essays, and ongoing work can be found on her website and Wikipedia author page.

This episode comes straight out of a real-life meeting at Confluence.Something became unmistakably clear to me there — what it looks like when a community forms organically. Not managed. Not engineered. Not pushed into existence.But something that actually converges.Confluence itself is a living example of this. You can feel the difference when you're in it. People aren't being organized… they're finding each other.And that stands in sharp contrast to so many of the movements we see today — built, structured, and directed from the outside in.How Do You Know the Difference?There's a real distinction between:something that's growingand something that's being assembledIn this episode, we'll look at how to recognize that difference in real time.Because it's not always obvious… especially when engineered movements borrow the language and appearance of something real.Why Convergence Matters NowOrganic convergence may be the most important thing we can be doing right now.You can't force and engineer connection or put people into structures.But allowing something real to form through clarity, resonance, and shared seeing, that's where the real magic happens.Special Guest: Dawn LesterI'm joined by Dawn Lester, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person at Confluence. Here's our cosmic and unexpected meeting in the San Antonio airport!!Dawn is a master at understanding how things actually come together. She's best known for her writing and research in the alternative health arenas, but she has a gift for convergence — growing community through truth and alignment.In this episode we'll explore:what she sees about real vs engineered communityhow convergence happens (and how it doesn't)and what makes something hold without being forcedIt's subtle and easy to miss… until you see it and can't un-see it.ConvergeIt's what happens naturally and organically.

God meets us in dry places, breathes new life into us through His Word, and turns valleys into gateways of hope filled with purpose and expectation.

Nathan Lane just received a Tony nomination for his starring role as Willy Loman in ‘Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.' He's a veteran of the stage – often in comedic and musical roles. But in the role of Loman, which he does eight times a week, he's noticed something different in the audience. “There's an old joke – my job is just to keep 1600 people from coughing. It's kind of true, but when you hear what we hear during ‘Salesman,' you hear people weeping in the dark.”  At the age of 70, Lane says this production of ‘Salesman' is the thing he's most proud of. He spoke with ‘Fresh Air' guest interviewer Sam Fragoso, host of the podcast ‘Talk Easy.'  Later, Ken Tucker reviews new songs by Ella Langley, Robyn, and Allison Russell. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Quotes from the episode: "If you're building something new, it has to be better in almost every way or it won't catch on."   "The stuff that's bad inside your home doesn't filter out, you have to move it out."   "We stopped over-modeling and just started testing in the real world as fast as possible."    This episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast features Austin Riesenberger, founder of Swerv Air, a young entrepreneur tackling a surprisingly overlooked problem: how to bring fresh air into homes without sacrificing comfort, energy efficiency, or simplicity. Drawing from his background in HVAC engineering, physics, and personal struggles with asthma and poor indoor air quality, Austin set out to rethink ventilation from first principles. Swerv's solution is a compact, window-mounted fresh air system that filters incoming air while recovering heat and moisture through a regenerative cycling core. Unlike traditional ERVs that are bulky and contractor-installed, this unit is designed for easy, consumer-level installation with strong performance. The conversation dives into the technical trade-offs, including airflow, efficiency, noise, and form factor, as well as the importance of real-world testing over theoretical modeling in product development. Beyond the product itself, the episode highlights Austin's startup journey. From rapid prototyping and supply chain challenges to early beta deployments across multiple climates, the discussion offers insight into how modern hardware companies iterate quickly and build demand. It wraps with a call for beta testers and collaborators, positioning Swerv as a potential bridge between consumer IAQ needs and traditional HVAC solutions.     Austin's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-riesenberger-73502a1b6/   Swerv website: https://swervair.com/   Beta Tester SignUp: https://swervair.com/#beta   This episode was recorded in April 2026.

In addition, being hospitalized often means being deprived of fresh air & […]

Maybe you've told yourself…“I'll feel better when things settle down.”“I'll be grateful when everything finally comes together.”But somehow, that moment never really comes.There's always something unfinished.Something that could be better.Something that still feels uncertain.And without realizing it, you end up living in a constant state of almost...almost content, almost at peace, almost able to breathe.In this episode of Dr. Davina's Dots, we slow things down and look at gratitude in a different way.Not as something you wait for…but something you choose, right in the middle of real life.Through gentle reflections and calming jazz, this episode creates space for you to pause and notice what's already good… even if everything isn't perfect.If you've been waiting for life to feel “right” before you let yourself feel grateful…this episode is your reminder:There is something to be grateful forRight now.All you have to do… is notice.
