Ahead of Flavor Flav’s SHEWeekend celebrating the women of Team USA, we’re revisiting our conversation with two-time Olympic hockey gold medalist Kelly Pannek. Sarah sat down with Kelly back in February at the Team USA Winter House in Milan to discuss the rollercoaster of emotions she felt throughout the USA-Canada gold medal game, from the pre-game vibes to the locker room speeches to the post-game celebration (including which team snuck them some post-game brews!). They also discuss how she felt representing Team USA during a fraught time in our country, the highs and lows of three weeks living in the athlete village, and where that "In Keller We Trust" flag came from. Plus, hear what’s on Sarah’s itinerary as she heads to Vegas to party with Flavor Flav and the country’s top athletes. You can now WATCH Sarah’s interviews!

The only question is WHEN they did it!”And yet: Jury Throws Out Musk's OpenAI Lawsuit in Under Two Hours, Clearing Path for Sam Altman's IPOPope Leo launches an AI commission days before he releases a papal letter alongside Anthropic cofounder Christopher OlahThe Vatican is treating AI as a core moral issue, not a side topic.Pope Leo is moving fast: a new AI commission lands just before his first major AI-focused encyclical.The message is clearly human-centered: dignity, justice, labor, and protection of people come first.Bringing in Anthropic cofounder Christopher Olah signals the Church wants direct dialogue with top AI builders, not just criticism from the sidelines.This looks like an attempt to shape AI norms early, before the technology's social impact hardens into policy and cultureThe AI economy is rewriting the American Dream — and blue-collar workers are poised to winThe rapid spread of AI across corporate America is creating a crisis for young adults with college degrees who are finding a slowdown in hiring for entry-level positions in AI-exposed industries.And yet: Don't hold your breath for the great AI job reshuffle, says Goldman Sachs—there's little evidence of ‘too many coders and not enough plumbers'And yet: Despite degrees being slammed as ‘useless' by Gen Z, data shows graduates have had the lowest unemployment rate of anyone for the last 20 yearsDSE, IFC host 'women on boards' session to strengthen female corporate leadershipDhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) PLC and International Finance Corporation (IFC) jointly organized an on-boarding session titled "Women on Boards (WOB)" aimed at enhancing women's participation in corporate leadership and decision-making processes.Starbucks Korea sacks CEO over controversial 'Tank Day' promotionStarbucks Korea thought it would be a brilliant idea to promote their new "Tank" line of coffee tumblers by declaring a special marketing event called "Tank Day." The catastrophic oversight? They launched it on May 18—the highly sensitive national anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju Democratic Uprising. For South Koreans, the word "tank" on this specific day immediately evokes the horrific memory of the military dictatorship deploying actual armored tanks to brutally crush and massacre pro-democracy protestersThe promotion featured the tagline: "put it on the table with a sound of 'Tak!'" (or "thwack on the desk"). In South Korea, "Tak!" is chillingly famous. In 1987, when the military regime tried to cover up the torture-induced death of student activist Park Jong-chul, police absurdly claimed the student just suddenly collapsed and died because an investigator struck a desk, making a "tak" soundSon Jung-hyun (Sohn Jeong-hyun), the CEO of Starbucks Korea, was summarily fired within hours of the campaign going livethe retail conglomerate that operates Starbucks Korea (Shinsegae Group) also fired the unnamed executive who planned and oversaw the campaign, while launching disciplinary proceedings against every other employee who let this pass the review stage.Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin was reportedly "furious" and ordered the immediate sacking of the CEO to "make an example."South Korean President Lee Jae Myung them as "low-class peddlers" engaging in "inhumane, bottom-feeding behavior" that mocked a blood-stained struggle for basic human rightsStarbucks US headquarters reportedly apologized as well, saying it deeply regretted the “unacceptable” marketing incidentBYD surges, Toyota falters as oil crisis boosts EVs in Australia AND Gas prices are rising.

In this episode I chat with singer-songwriter Randall Goodgame to explore the powerful connection between music, Scripture memory, and family discipleship.Randall, the creator behind Slugs and Bugs and the Scripture Hymnal, shares how his journey into writing word-for-word Scripture songs began not in a studio, but in his own home. Faced with helping his young children memorize Bible verses, he discovered that setting Scripture to music made memorization not only easier, but joyful.From that simple beginning grew a body of work that has helped countless families hide God's Word in their hearts.In this conversation, Randall discusses how music uniquely engages the brain and why songs become such a lasting part of our memory. He explains his songwriting process, including how he chooses Scripture passages and matches musical tone to the meaning of the text. He also shares behind-the-scenes insights into the challenges of turning certain passages into songs—and how those challenges often lead to deeper understanding.We also dive into the role of joy and humor in the Christian life. Rather than diminishing the seriousness of Scripture, Randall explains how laughter and childlike faith actually reflect a deeper trust in God.One of the most encouraging parts of this episode is Randall's honesty about family devotions. Despite creating devotional resources used by families around the world, he openly shares his own struggles and reminds listeners that faithfulness matters more than perfection. Together, they discuss simple, practical ways to build meaningful family rhythms without unrealistic expectations.Whether you are a homeschooling parent, a ministry leader, or simply someone who loves Scripture and music, this conversation will encourage you to think differently about how truth takes root in our hearts.You'll also hear practical advice for turning around difficult homeschool days, fostering gratitude in your family, and creating a home environment where God's Word is both central and joyful.If you've ever wondered how to help your children remember Scripture, build lasting faith habits, or bring more joy into your family discipleship, this episode is for you.Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend who would be encouraged by this conversation.Show Notes and Full Transcript: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/singing-the-bible-with-randall-goodgame/Life Skills Now: https://sl290.isrefer.com/go/LSN5/arsloan/Homeschool START Course: https://www.made2homeschool.com/a/2148255817/KNcPGL3tGetting Started With Shakespeare Guide: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/exploring-shakespeare-children/FREE 5 Day Gentle Homeschool Reset: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/gentle-homeschool-reset/While you're here, would you take a minute to leave a rating and review in your podcast app?

Sarah talks about the "cognitive dissonance" of navigating the current news cycle while finding personal joy, and what it’s like to move from a sports giant to building a brand new audio behemoth from the ground up. She pulls back the curtain on the "one man band" mentality—explaining why she keeps her hands in every piece of production, from scriptwriting to editing, despite her veteran status. We also dive into her background as a heptathlete at Cornell, which instilled a "problematically competitive" edge she still carries today, the grief of navigating chronic injury, and her tireless advocacy for journalistic integrity in women's sports coverage. IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: Navigating the transition from a legacy brand like ESPN to a startup environment at iHeart The daily grind of producing the first daily women’s sports podcast and the "one man band" mentality Why Sarah insists on treating women's sports with "journalism with a capital J" rather than just "cheerleading" Her background in comedy and how that shaped her "edgy and snarky" broadcasting style Dealing with the physical and mental toll of an athletic career-ending Achilles injury and chronic back pain Training the brain for gratitude through neuroplasticity and finding "glimmers" in the everyday Facing the harsh realities of sexual harassment and online toxicity in sports media Finding self-trust and the power of saying "I don't know" with confidence QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I want the listeners that want a show that really respects and gives respect to the people participating in all these sports and doesn't trade on their name and their stories without giving it a good journalism-with-a-J look first." "I call it the four S's: story, stakes, stats, and stars. We do that every day for men’s sports... and without having that in women’s sports, expecting people to show up game after game without providing them the information they need to care—there’s a reason it hasn’t always clicked for everyone." "I am built to swim upstream, but holy sh*t is it nice to just lazy river it for a while and be surrounded by people who agree and want to help women's sports." "How much of my life do I want to waste being sad about [not looking the part] or do I want to be like: 'Hey, I'm going to make it regardless of that.' And if I miss out on jobs they're hiring based on looks, great. Let me go get a job based on brains."
