The promise of Reconstruction sparked a transformative era in American history as free and newly emancipated Black Americans sought to redefine their place in a nation still grappling with the legacy of slavery. Often remembered as a period of failed progressive change that gave way to Jim Crow and second-class citizenship, Reconstruction's tragic narrative has long overshadowed the resilience and agency of African Americans during this time.Requiem for Reconstruction (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) chronicles Reconstruction's legacy by focusing on key Black figures such as South Carolina congressman Robert Smalls, Judge William Whipper, writer Frances Rollin, and others who shaped postbellum Black America. Robert D. Bland traces the impact of the Reconstruction generation—Black Americans born between 1840 and 1870 who saw Reconstruction as a defining political movement and worked to preserve its legacy by establishing a new set of historical practices such as formulating new archives, shaping local community counternarratives, using the Black press to inform national audiences about Southern Republican politics, and developing a framework to interpret the recent past's connection to their present world. Set in South Carolina's Lowcountry—a hub of Black freedom, landownership, and activism—this book shows how late nineteenth-century Black leaders, educators, and journalists built a powerful countermemory of Reconstruction, defying the dominant white narrative that sought to erase their contributions.

What kind of soil is your heart? In this first Sunday message of the year we open Mark chapter 4 and study the Parable of the Sower. Jesus reveals four types of soil that represent how people respond to God's Word and why only one kind of heart produces real spiritual fruit. This sermon will challenge you to go deeper in discipleship pull the weeds of distraction and live with a Kingdom mindset that produces a 30x 60x and 100x harvest. If you want your faith to last grow and multiply, this message is for you.

Conflict is unavoidable. But how we handle it can either deepen pain or put the gospel on display. Drawing from Colossians 3, Jesus' prayer for unity in John 17, and practical wisdom for hard conversations, this message explores why we tend to either avoid or attack in relationships, and why Jesus calls us to a better way. Rooted in our identity as forgiven people, we learn how Christ's grace empowers us to engage conflict with humility, love, and courage. Discover a simple, gospel-centered framework for navigating difficult conversations, pursuing peace, and growing in relational health so that our love for one another shows the world we truly belong to Him.FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:When faced with a difficult personal situation, are you more tempted to avoid or attack? What do you think is underneath that tendency (fear, pride, desire for control, self-protection, etc.)?How does remembering what Jesus did for you change the way you can approach people/conflict?What would it look like to “make every effort to live at peace” in your real life right now? Is there a conversation to initiate, forgiveness to offer, or courage to show?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

Hour 1 - A new year is underway and Jacob & Tejay don't time for questions, so just lock in until your sense of which direction completely disappears. In this segment they talk with Shocker BB Coach Paul Mills.

 Corphish almost gets launched into space, Max and half of the new gym leader recreate the plot of Space Camp, nepotism is rampant in Mossdeep City and Ash is just sick over not being able to have a gym battle.

In this video, I explore a survey that was sent to over a thousand pastors and asked them about their views on Calvinism, as well as asking them to list their favorite pastors. No surprise, John Piper was the number one mentioned pastor of greatest influence for all pastors in the survey. Younger Christian leaders lean heavily in the Calvinistic direction, and elderly Christian leaders (those over 65 years of age) lean heavily in the Arminian direction.#jesus #apologetics #Christianity #Calvinism #johnpiper #reformed #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

MTV er ikke bare en tv-kanal, der lukker, det er et helt billedsprog, der går på pension. I time to ser vi nærmere på, hvordan MTV formede den måde, vi ser, hører og forstår musik på. Fra ikoniske musikvideoer og vilde værter til en æstetik, der lever videre på TikTok og YouTube. Sammen med radiovært og kulturjournalist Chris Pedersen og DJ og tidligere MTV-medarbejder Camilla Jane Lea taler vi om, hvorfor musikvideoen blev så magtfuld, hvordan MTV satte dagsordenen for ungdomskultur, og hvad vi egentlig har mistet, nu hvor musikken for længst er gledet ud af kanalen.

This episode challenges you to rethink the economy from the ground up. Solana Rice and Jeremie Greer of Liberation in a Generation break down why extraction and exclusion are not bugs but core features of our current system, and invite listeners into a bold vision of a liberation economy rooted in guarantees rather than scarcity. Through stories of gentrification, community-led policy making, and real experiments like social housing and guaranteed income, they offer a clear and hopeful framework for how economic power can be rebuilt within a generation.View the show notes: https://www.lifteconomy.com/blog/building-a-liberation-economy-solana-rice-jeremie-greerEarly bird registration is now open for the spring 2026 cohort of The Next Economy MBA, a nine-month facilitated learning journey for people building a more just and regenerative economy.

What if the reason your faith feels dry or routine is because sacred things have slowly started to feel common?In this message, Pastor Nate Clarke challenges us to rediscover the sacredness of what God has given us — from our salvation to the gathering of the church. Through powerful Scripture, real-life stories, and a sobering moment from King David's life, we are reminded that when we treat what God calls sacred as ordinary, we miss the fullness of what He wants to do in us.This message will stir your faith, renew your reverence for God's presence, and help you step into a new year with fresh gratitude, renewed passion, and a deeper appreciation for the church, the gospel, and the work of God in your life.

In this podcast, Dr. Denise Pope and Seerat discuss about how high schoolers come to school just to complete a checklist rather than truly understanding and learning.Dr. Denise Pope is the co-founder of Challenge Success, and the founder of the books Doing School: How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed-Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students and Overloaded and Underprepared: Strategies for Stronger Schools and Healthy, Successful Kids.

This message reminds us that worry and anxiety are universal struggles across every season of life, but God invites us to live differently. Fear responds to real, present threats, while anxiety grows from uncertainty about the future. Through Scripture we learn that God deeply cares for us, knows our needs, and has given us everything we need in Christ. As we humble ourselves, rejoice in the Lord, pray with thanksgiving, and fix our thoughts on God's truth, His peace guards our hearts and minds. True peace comes not from changed circumstances, but from trusting who God is and remembering who we are as His children.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Where do you tend to live most often: past regrets, future worries, or the present moment with God, and why?What worries are you most tempted to hold onto instead of “giving them to God,” and what makes them hard to release?Which practice from Philippians 4 (rejoicing, praying with thanksgiving, or fixing your thoughts on truth) would most help you experience God's peace right now?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

We had so many people reach out about this episode with LINDA COHN, we are running it again! Linda Cohn, the only sportscaster that anchored over 5,000 episodes of Sports Center. While the boys were coming up with catch phrases like "Back, back, back", "It's deep and I don't think it's playable" and "Booyah!", LINDA COHN was highlighting the games, the plays and made it about the games, not herself. That would explain why she authored the book "Cohn-Head: No Holds Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys Club." A hockey fanatic from when she was a little girl, she broke barriers, broke records and then broke into the boy's club by being the first full-time U.S. female sports anchor on a national radio network when she was hired by ABC. Delightful, real and incredibly interesting, this episode of The Approach Shot is a must listen! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Merry Christmas!!!What are we really longing for at Christmas? Drawing from Matthew 1, this message explores the deep human ache for presence...not independence. From the garden to the manger to the cross, Scripture reveals a God who doesn't stay distant but comes near. Jesus, Immanuel...God with us...was born to close the distance sin created and to dwell with us forever. If you've ever felt alone, this Christmas message offers comfort, hope, and the good news that because of Jesus, you are never truly alone.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Where do you most feel the ache of “being alone” right now? Is it tied to loss, disappointment, fear, or something harder to name?The sermon said, “Sin isn't just about what we've done...it's about distance.” Where do you sense “distance” in your relationship with God right now?What difference does it make to hear that Christmas means “God came to be with us,” not just to forgive us? How might that be different from how you usually think about Jesus?The sermon ended with: “You're not home alone.  And because of Jesus, you never will be.”  What would it look like if you chose to believe this fact over whatever feeling comes your way?Take a moment to reflect and rest in the presence of Jesus.  If you struggle with this, ask Him to meet you right now and to teach you what this means.  He is the most interested party in this relationship.+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

What's the future of AI code generation? This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Chris Hay, Olivia Buzek and Gabe Goodhart to debrief the biggest AI use-case of 2025: AI-powered software engineering. Claude Opus 4.5 solved a months-long optimization in under an hour but failed spectacularly at simple tasks. The barbell effect is real. Next, who's the architect—you or the model? We discuss agent orchestration, context windows and why tool performance varies wildly. Then, model differentiation: are OpenAI and Anthropic fundamentally different, or does agent architecture matter more? Finally, can open-source compete with closed ecosystems? We explore vertical integration, inference costs and the future of open models. All that and more on this week's Mixture of Experts. 00:00 – Introduction 01:11 – The barbell problem: AI coding wins and fails 03:46 – Claude Code cracks Apple Metal optimization 07:52 – Who's the architect: You or the AI? 11:44 – Model vs agent orchestration 20:44 – The future of unsupervised AI agents 24:30 – Open source vs proprietary tools 33:22 – The inference cost challenge The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM or any other organization or entity.

DEI killed meritocracy—and white men in America have paid the price. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down a recent, controversial article from Compact Magazine, which examines how white males have been increasingly excluded from fields like entertainment, journalism, and academia over the past several decades. Hanson explores the effects of early affirmative action, post-George Floyd hiring practices, and who bears responsibility for these changes on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I do blame the older white hierarchy, mostly liberal professors, liberal journalists, liberal directors, liberal actors, liberal screenwriters. They all had nice cushy jobs. They earned them. Then they decided in their utopian generosity that they were going to admit people into their guilds without the same criterion that they had had because it made them feel better. “In other words, they didn't accept Tom Sowell's or Shelby Steele's advice or Jason Riley's that says, when you do that, you're going to encourage mediocrity and opportunist, and you're going to deprecate the work of African Americans or Hispanics that are very talented. But that's what you're going to do just to gratify your own sense of ego and shame. And that's exactly what happened.” (0:00) Introduction (0:21) Compact Article (0:57) Affirmative Action and Its Impact (2:50) Meritocracy Loss (4:12) Blame and Responsibility (5:54) Consequences of Lower Standards (7:07) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

DEI killed meritocracy—and white men in America have paid the price.

From the very beginning, our adversary the devil has done everything he could not only to destroy us eternally, but to eliminate any possibility that redemption could ever come to mankind. From the moment God promised a Savior, Satan launched a relentless war against the people through whom Christ would come, attempting again and again to wipe them out and stop the birth of the Messiah. Generation after generation, the line was threatened, attacked, and nearly erased, until finally, on a quiet night in Bethlehem, the unthinkable happened. Jesus Christ was born. In essence, we almost lost Christmas. But by the grace of God and the faithfulness of His promises, Christmas did happen, and because it did, we get to celebrate the greatest gift ever given. This is the story.

Nate Williams interviews Carl Barrett about his book "God's Generation of Hope." The next generation is under attack — and it's starting at home. This timely guide through Deuteronomy speaks directly to parents, leaders, and anyone burdened for today's youth. As culture drifts further from truth, this book reveals what's really at stake and how we can fight back by anchoring our families in God's Word. It's a wake-up call to reclaim our role, speak life into the next generation, and restore hope where it's been lost.Carl's website: https://mondaybluestosundaypews.com/

  By Mary Lindow AS I PREPARE THIS PODCAST OUR HOME HAS THE AROMA OF BANANA BREAD FILLING THE AIR WITH A COZY WARMTH. Soft Carols are playing in the background. My dear Steve has gone bed for now. He's been working on a carpentry project for my Christmas present.   AS I SIT HERE, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE MOVED WITH TENDERNESS FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING over the recent miscarriage of a 22 week old baby, a friend who has had a sudden death of a family member, those friends of mine tending to the sick and fragile, and for the widows I know, who ache for the arms of the one they loved so well for so long. My heart is saddened by the weariness of knowing single friends of Steve and I are longing for rest and still have hopes of meeting another godly person who might be the one to nurture and live them. ALL OF THE KINDNESSES AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF CHRISTMAS, truly, when wrapped up in compassion, outreach to those who are hurting, personal sacrifice so that others may thrive, and with discernment to know when these things are God nudging you, this is what makes the true value of Christmas shine.   CHRIST CAME TO GIVE. He came to give all. To tend to all those that were held captive, to set them free, to open the eyes of the blinded and the cerebral intellectuals who refuse to hear the truth. But yet, HE came! And HE is still speaking today, still pursuing those who run from him.   WHEN GOD BREATHED THE BREATH OF LIFE INTO EVERY HUMAN BEING... ...IT WAS HIS BREATH   As long as there is breath in a human, it is the breath of God. God will pursue every human being, regardless of how they feel towards him. This is the love that came down at Christmas. And this is the love that stays. People can run. But they cannot hide from the light of God.   AS I SHARE THIS BRIEF BUT WARM AND HEARTFELT PODCAST WITH YOU, I wanted to share something so profoundly, beautiful and so well spoken. I've read over and meditated/ pondered it many times during this Christmas season because there have been disappointments! There have has been betrayals, harsh words, indifference, people pushing you away because they can't receive the love you offer them. These are the things Jesus experienced on a regular basis, and yet in his perfection, he continued to pursue the will of God in his life, and eventually, it COST him his life!   THAT LITTLE, WEE BABE IN THE MANGER TROUGH, He was filled with the fullness of God and was God, but chose to walk out in human flesh, incarnate, the life of everyday human beings, in order to prove that he was aware of the suffering and the sorrows of this human life in a fallen world.   AS I SHARE THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL BY THE NAME OF JESSICA JECKER, (who is an influencer on another social media site), I hope that you will allow it to saturate any part of you that is suffering or that is resisting love, or, is perhaps angry at God, questioning why life is so hard, or where you may have become bitter and hardened to the tenderness that is available to each of us.   LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE CRY OF MALACHI AND WHAT GOD‘S WORD SPOKE. Listen to the words of one pondering the beauty and the fierce sacrifice that Jesus so humbly and willingly yielded to so that we might truly celebrate a Savior. HERE IT IS: “This week, I lingered in the final breath of Malachi's words and I felt the unbearable weight of what followed. When the prophet finished speaking, heaven did not answer. The echo of his voice faded...and then... nothing. Four hundred years of silence. No open vision. No burning word. No prophet rising with fire in his bones. No “Thus says the Lord” breaking the darkness. Four hundred years of waiting. Of longing. Of groaning. Of hearts lifted toward heaven that seemed sealed shut. Generation after generation was born into the quiet. They lived. They died. And still—no voice. Until one night. On a dirt floor in a forgotten place... in a stable that did not look holy... in the shadows of obscurity and insignificance... a sound was released. After four hundred years, heaven spoke again— Not with thunder, not with fire, not from a mountain- but from the lungs of a newborn. A cry pierced the silence. A cry that split history in two. A cry that carried eternity within it. In that moment, the King of Glory stepped down into the dust of His own creation. The Eternal wrapped Himself in skin. The Word became flesh—and cried. The Son laid aside His throne and chose a manger. Heaven's highest treasure placed in a feeding trough. He came low. He came meek. He came breakable. Wrapped in swaddling cloths, laid where animals ate, born beneath the looming shadow of a cross. A Lamb born to be slain. The Hope of a hopeless world breathed His first breath in the dark. A weary world rejoiced as a young virgin labored and delivered its redemption. In that manger, the Great I AM made Himself vulnerable. Touchable. Killable. And with one holy cry, the silence was shattered. The separation was broken. The way was opened. Then, suddenly, heaven could not remain quiet. The skies erupted with angelic voices declaring, “Glory to God in the highest!” Wonderful. Counselor. Mighty God! Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. With the cry of an infant, heaven invaded earth. Behold—our Redeemer. Behold—our King. Behold—the fulfillment of every promise. Behold—the sound that broke four hundred years of silence. Not the roar of an army. Not the shout of a king claiming His crown. But the fragile cry of God-with-us. He did not arrive with a sword in His hand, but with nails already written into His future. He did not enter wrapped in royalty, but in cloths that foretold a burial. The silence was not just broken, it was answered. Every unanswered prayer. Every tear cried into the dark. Every generation that waited without seeing. Every promise that seemed delayed but not denied. All of it converged in that single cry. That night, heaven did not just speak- heaven gave. God did not send another prophet. He did not send another sign. He sent Himself. And in that stable, eternity took its first shallow breath. Omnipotence learned weakness. Glory learned humility. Love made itself small. The cry that shattered the silence would one day be echoed again- not from a manger, but from a cross. The first cry said, “He has come.” The final cry would say, “It is finished.” From swaddling cloths to grave clothes, from a feeding trough to a borrowed tomb, He came to be broken so we could be made whole. And even now, that sound still reverberates. It calls the weary. It awakens the forgotten. It reaches into the places where heaven has felt silent again. If God could speak through the cry of a baby, He can still break silence in our darkest night. So behold Him. Not distant. Not untouchable. Not unmoved.   But Emmanuel. God.  With. Us."   SUCH TREMENDOUS AND EXPRESSIVE WORDS!   DEAR PERSON, WHO MAY BE LISTENING TO THIS PODCAST OR READING IT IN PRINTED FORM. Talk to Jesus. Cry. Ask Him to show you his love, his true self, his kindness. His merciful forgiveness. He's listening.   LET'S PRAY BEFORE I END THIS PODCAST. "Heavenly Father, For Those Who Are Lonely This Christmas, I Pray That You Would Surround Them With Your Presence. Let Them Feel Your Nearness. Bring People Into Their Lives Who Can Offer Companionship and Comfort. Help Them To Know That Even When They Feel Alone, Abandoned or Weary That They Are Never Truly Alone Because You Are Always With Them. Heal the Wounds That the Holidays Have Opened. Replace Sorrow With Your Joy, Despair With Your Hope, and Loneliness With the Knowledge That You Will Never Leave Us or Forsake Us. Thank You That Jesus Came To Heal the Brokenhearted and to Bind up our Deep Wounds From Life on Planet Earth. I Trust You To Do That Work in my Life and in the Lives of all Who Are Hurting This Christmas. Father, This Christmas I Celebrate the Birth of my Savior With a Grateful Heart. Help Me To Never Get Over the Wonder of the Gospel, Never Stop Being Amazed That You Loved Me Enough To Send Jesus. May my Life Be a Living Thank-You Note for the Gift You Gave at Christmas—the Gift of Your Son, my Savior and my King. In the Comforting Name of Jesus, Amen."   I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS PODCAST! I know that we are fast approaching that day we celebrate and give gifts and just sit back and enjoy the beauty of the season, but, I know many people suffer during this time and, Jesus is there with you. He's understands you're suffering and he understands where you're stuck. I encourage you to not hold onto those things that you want to manage or control or that you think, “This is just the way it's going to, be it's always been this way.” That is fatalistic thinking and it's really actually ungodly. It's an attitude that says, “I will control my destiny, and... I have control over my life because nobody else can help me.”   I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SOFTEN, TO TENDERIZE YOUR HEART BEFORE THE LORD IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, and as you listen to Christmas carols and hear the words of “Joy to the World, the Lord Has Come, Let Earth Receive her King and Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room.” That means it's up to us to “prepare room” in our hearts to receive what the king has for us. All the things the King has for us. Some of it is discipline. Some of it is change. Some of it is repenting for just being angry , and some of it is walking in fear. Know this, that if we will prepare a room for him to come in and live and dwell, we can enjoy His presence in a greater way with us during this season and into the next year.   I'M GOING TO CLOSE OUT FOR NOW AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LISTENING! I want to thank those of you who have been so kind to support and assist me. Honestly, I am just so grateful because I just don't know how I would really do these without those that are touched and moved by God to assist is publishing this podcast and also to assist me in helping others with counseling who have a lower incomes, or, who are going through difficulties where their income is so tight, and they need that counseling, they need that help. WHEN YOU HELP BLESS AND SUPPORT WHAT THE LORD HAS ASKED ME TO DO OFTEN I'M ABLE TO DO A LOT OF PRO BONO WORK because I know there's a little bit more in that bank account for ministry that I can then draw on. Steve and I live very frugally. We don't have big mansions and we certainly aren't driving any Rolls-Royce's, yet God seems to always come through and provide in ways that truly humble us. Part of that is those that God moves on, and those that listen to him and do support what God has called us to do in these days. I thank you again, and I asked that he pours out a blessing upon you in grace and in kindness and in peace for your kindness and grace back to me. I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY MOST PEACEFUL AND BLESSED AND JOYFUL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON!   I will close this podcast out now and send my love and blessing to each one you!

What if the quiet ache beneath your busyness, stress, and exhaustion is really a longing for joy? Not hype. Not fleeting happiness. But a joy that lasts, even when life feels heavy.In this Advent message, we explore how Christmas doesn't give us instructions to find joy, but an announcement that joy has come. From Luke 2 and Romans 15, we're reminded that joy isn't something we achieve through better circumstances or stronger emotions. It's something we receive when we remember what's already true in Christ.If you're tired of joy that fades, weary from trying to manufacture excitement, or longing for a joy that doesn't require you to perform, this message is for you. Discover how true joy grows as we trust the good news: you are fully forgiven, deeply loved, completely secure, and never alone...because the Savior has come.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Where do you most notice joy fading in your everyday life?Which of the “indicators” stood out to you the most, and why do you think that one hit close to home? (Celebrations not sticking, emptiness after getting what you wanted, exhaustion from manufacturing excitement, nostalgia, or performance pressure.)How have you typically thought about joy before this message? More connected to circumstances, feelings, or something fragile?Which gospel truth feels hardest for you to trust right now? (Fully forgiven, united with Christ, deeply loved, secure, or complete. What makes that one challenging to believe?)What might it look like for you this week to “watch the video” and remember what is already true?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

It's Christmas, Romulan style!A review of Star Trek: The Next Generation's riveting “Face of the Enemy” wraps Transporter Room 3 for the year. We also unpack the original idea for this episode and why Troi was ultimately selected to pose as a Romulan to help her enemy smuggle some defectors into Federation space.As Spock once said via Christmas ornament: “Happy holidays. Live long and prosper.”

The early 2000s preached “girl power” to the masses — but that often looked like sex and plastic surgery. Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what coming of age in the early aughts meant for young women in an atmosphere of highly sexualized body image, how porn manifested itself into pop culture, and what society had to say about powerful women. Her book is “Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

US oil and gas drilling is once again at the center of a high-stakes decision that could shape America's coastlines, marine life, and coastal communities for decades. This episode asks a critical question: should the U.S. lock itself into new offshore drilling just as climate risks and ocean damage are accelerating, or is there still time to choose a safer path for the ocean and future generations? Offshore drilling impacts go far beyond fuel production, and Oceana campaign director Joseph Gordon explains why oil spills are not short-term disasters but long-term crises. One of the most emotional insights from this episode is his description of oil spills as invisible clouds that marine mammals and cleanup workers are forced to breathe, causing health impacts that last decades after the headlines fade. These are consequences most people never see, but communities continue to live with. Public comment offshore drilling still has power, even in difficult political moments. Joseph shares how bipartisan opposition has stopped similar plans before, why Florida, California, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico are on the front lines right now, and how everyday people can influence the final outcome. This episode breaks down what is at stake and why speaking up right now truly matters.

In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss. Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today. Key Topics Discussed: The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain. The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth. How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marathon of deprivation. Reflections on healing: Moving beyond the "biggest loser" era. This conversation is equal parts nostalgia, critique, and hope – a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of diet culture or chased an unrealistic transformation.
