What can the history of a Jim Crow–era mental asylum teach us about race and mental health today? MSNBC journalist Antonia Hylton joins Gabe Howard to discuss her powerful book “Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum,” a deeply researched look at Crownsville Hospital, once known as The Hospital for the Negro Insane.Antonia reveals how Black patients were forced to build their own hospital, how racism shaped their psychiatric care, and how hope slowly emerged amid cruelty and neglect. But this isn't a simple story of heroes and villains. As Antonia emphasizes, Black people aren't always the heroes, and white people aren't always the villains at Crownsville Hospital. The truth is far more complex and human. Listener takeaways: why Crownsville's story defies easy labels of good versus evil how racism shaped early psychiatric institutions how history still shapes modern mental health care Blending history, personal family stories, and modern mental health advocacy, Antonia and Gabe explore how Crownsville's legacy still influences the modern mental health care we see today. This conversation is both haunting and hopeful, reminding us that healing requires courage, empathy, and an honest look at our past. “​​The other myth I want to dispel is that it's a black and white book where all the heroes are black and all the villains are white. This is a story where there are incredible and incredibly complicated people on all sides of it. And to me, that is the American story, that there are certainly the people who held on to the Confederate and antebellum attitudes and brought that to the hospital. But then there are people like Paul Lurz, who is a white man still alive, living in Anne Arundel County to this day, who dedicated 40 years of his life to saving and supporting children at this hospital. Black children, and who is beloved and adored in that community.” ~Antonia Hylton Our guest, Antonia Hylton, is a Peabody and Emmy-award-winning journalist, co-anchor of MSNBC / Weekend Primetime, and the co-host of the hit podcast Southlake and Grapevine. She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University, where she received prizes for her investigative research on race, mass incarceration, and the history of psychiatry.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone's past few days have been a masterclass in both star power and Southern hospitality and if you have been paying attention you know he has proven himself to be the rare sort of celebrity that headlines not just for music but for generosity and genuine fun. According to both Whiskey Riff and American Songwriter, Post headlined the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch this past weekend, drawing thousands of fans and supporting the American Cancer Society. Fresh off that concert, he was spotted at Flips Patio Grill in Grapevine, Texas, settling in to watch his beloved Dallas Cowboys play the Denver Broncos. Not even the Cowboys' 44-24 loss could sour his mood. Throughout the night Post picked up the tab for two tables besides his own and left a $1000 tip on each bill, creating a wave of appreciation among the staff and guests, some of whom quickly shared the moment on social media. It is not the first time Post Malone has made headlines for generosity—just last Christmas, he famously tipped a Houston bartender $20,000, and earlier this year he left a hefty tip at a Pizza Hut in Utah for opening up early. The social media posts from Flips Patio Grill expressed gratitude for his kindness and the fun atmosphere he brought to the local crowd.Online, Post Malone's viral moment at Flips went wide with fans calling him “a treasure,” as reported in Parade, further cementing his reputation as one of the most gracious figures in entertainment. On the business side, rumors are swirling from K95 Tulsa and MySanAntonio that Post Malone is likely to be the Dallas Cowboys' headliner for their annual Thanksgiving Day halftime show. The speculation is fueled by teaser videos and the timing of his passionate appearances in Texas, though as of now, official confirmation is still pending. Industry insiders are betting this potential performance could mark another major milestone for him, especially given how seamless his transition from hip-hop to country has been since his hit record F-1 Trillion last year.In terms of public appearances, just days ago Posty was spotted ringside at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in Salt Lake City, sharing the front row spotlight alongside Pauly Shore, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Gabriel Luna. WWE gave each celebrity a featured on-screen graphic, and social media lit up as fans debated which surprise guest brought the most hype—proof that Post Malone's reach crosses far beyond music into all corners of pop culture.On Bluesky social, the Post Malone fan scene remains active, though most mentions lean playful, and nothing substantial about the past few days has gone viral there yet. Summing up these recent developments, the biggest long-term biographical impact is the steady evolution of Post's public persona—a chart-topping artist who matches his musical success with authentic generosity, making him not just a star but a cultural phenomenon whose every appearance is loaded with the potential for viral headlines, good deeds, and memorable moments. No credible controversies or negative news have surfaced, making this a streak of positivity that even seasoned industry veterans rarely maintain for this long.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Snowpocalypse, Iceland VersionTuesday saw a record snowfall in Reykjavík, for October that is, breaking a record from 1921, with 27 centimeters of snow in one day.  The snowfall resulted in massive traffic disruptions in Reykjavík, both because of the copious amounts of snow, and because  not all drivers had managed to change to winter tires. We used to think Icelanders could drive in snow. That myth has now been shattered.National Police Commissioner Spends 160 Million ISK On “Advice” From A Single PersonThe National Police Commissioner, Sigríður Björk Guðjónsdóttir, has found herself in potentially job ending circumstances, after RÚV revelled she had been buying the services from a single company over the past 5 years, for 160 million ISK, which is roughly 2.7 million ISK a month.  The company in question, Intra, is a single person operation whose only employee is a Þórunn Óðinsdóttir. The tasks she did ranged from buying office furniture to introducing “lean management” to the police offices, to helping move the office of the Police Commissioner between locations. Government Announces Housing Policy PlansAs often discussed on this podcast, the Icelandic housing market is fucked. Last week the government announced their ideas to “fix” the market. These include; Building 4000 apartments in a new suburb in Reykjavík, deregulating building regulations, giving funding to non-profit, housing companies. The government also plans to tax empty building plots, decrease AirBnB availability, increased taxes on rent and sell of copious amount of state owned real estate. Fewer Sheep Than Humans In Iceland, For First Time EverThe Icelandic sheep population has dropped by a 100.000 in the past 10 years, meaning that there are now “only” 350.000 sheep in Iceland. This also means that there are fewer sheep than people in Iceland, which has never ever happened before in the history of Iceland.Former Prince Andrew And Naming Royals In IcelandicIceland has the somewhat idiosyncratic policy of giving foreign royals Icelandic names.

Hey there! I came across a really interesting story from Okinawa that our friends who've served in the military and been there before might find relatable. It's one of those stories that just happen to come around, and I thought you'd enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it with me! Love you!

Welcome to today's reading! Fernando Alcoholic shares a military story from the Grapevine about a Marine who served two tours in Okinawa, Japan. During one of his tours, the Marine was intoxicated, while the other was sober. Notably, our Hawaiian friend also has a story about Okinawa, Japan. She spent three years there as a teenager, while he was serving in the Air Force they did not meet. Please listen to her recording titled “Normie in Okinawa.”

They had to be towed from there by SARS. The Last Criminal Case Following the 2008 Economic Collapse, Resolved.The last Icelandic criminal case in relations to the 2008 banking collapse was resolved in 2021. However, one case in Luxembourg remained and that case was finally finalized with a settlement in a Luxembourg court last week. The case in question, called the Lindsor case, had been under investigation for 15 years and had to do with the bank Kaupthing buying up bonds from Kaupthing's employees, just days before the bank collapsed in October 2008.The Icelandic Housing Market Freezes OverFollowing a recent Supreme Court ruling on inflation indexed housing loans, all the major Icelandic banks stopped issuing such loans.

I Heard It Through The GrapevineSermon Notes

Speculation is mounting at Dallas City Hall that Mayor Eric Johnson may soon resign to seek another political office. At least one candidate for mayor says he is ready to run if and when Johnson resigns. In other news, a federal judge's ruling Tuesday temporarily blocks the University of Texas System from implementing parts of a new state law that limits where and when students can engage in expressive activities on campuses. He said, “the First Amendment does not have a bedtime of 10:00 p.m." ; a Grapevine youth basketball coach was sentenced to prison in what authorities described as an extensive child pornography operation. Michael Bo Peacock was sentenced last month to 40 years in federal prison, followed by 20 years of supervised release. The 50-year-old Denton man was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine; and the Mavericks have reportedly signed Jason Kidd to a multi-year contract extension, two people with knowledge of the deal confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.

Reading of the Grapevine, September 1987: An Remarkable Literary JourneyThis literary work is truly remarkable and effectively addresses various challenges. It is important to cherish the present moment, as blessings are fleeting events. In the context of the AA program, these blessings manifest in the present, including friendships, literature, God, freedom, and laughter. These elements collectively contribute to the transformative power of the program.Sincerely,Fernando

Hosts: Annik Sobing & Andy Shiles Guests: Alyson Hachey, Elisabeth Sherrell, Bonnie Kersch, Lila Landis & George Reid Published: October 5, 2025 Length: ~29 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this episode Annik Sobing and Andy Shiles are joined by a panel of conference organizers and long-time trade educators — Alyson Hachey, Elisabeth Sherrell, Bonnie Kersch, Lila Landis and George Reid — to preview two upcoming events: the MIC Customs / ICPA Mexico Conference in Mexico City and the ICPA Fall Trade Days in Grapevine, Texas. The conversation covers who should attend, the unique focus of each event, practical tips for getting the most out of the conferences (including networking and bringing cross-functional colleagues), and fun details like the opening reception, themed activities, and opportunities for virtual networking before and after the in-person gatherings. What You'll Learn in This Episode The purpose and format of the MIC Customs / ICPA Mexico Conference (Mexico City, Nov 5–6). The schedule and special programming for ICPA Fall Trade Days (Grapevine, TX): opening reception Oct 26, main conference Oct 27–28, plus ITAR-related sessions following the conference (Oct 29, 30 and 1 as discussed). How the two events differ in content and audience (Mexico conference = Mexico-focused trade & cross-border issues; Grapevine = broader trade + ITAR programming). Practical networking tips (how to approach meals/sessions, what to bring, and how to translate conference takeaways into a short briefing for leadership). Why practitioners should bring colleagues from finance, purchasing, sourcing and logistics to get cross-functional value from the sessions. Key Takeaways The Mexico conference and the Grapevine Fall Trade Days serve different but complementary needs — both are valuable depending on your role and geographic focus. Networking is one of the highest-return activities at these events; intentionally meet new people and use pre/post virtual networking opportunities. Bring one or two colleagues from other functions (finance, purchasing, logistics) so you can turn conference insights into actionable company plans. Prepare a short, snappy 2–3 slide summary to brief leadership when you return — the panel recommends focusing on risks, decisions needed, and quick wins. The events mix serious compliance content with community-building (receptions, line dancing, games) — plan to learn and connect.

Episode IntroductionReddit is one of the most powerful, underrated tools for podcasters who want more downloads and better visibility in search results. With over 1.2 billion users every month, Reddit generates an endless stream of real questions from real people—questions that represent genuine demand. That makes Reddit a goldmine for podcasters looking to grow their audience through smarter podcast SEO and more clickable episode titles.Instead of spamming links in Reddit threads, the smarter strategy is to listen.

If you see that a Reddit thread already ranks on the first page, you've discovered a proven high-traffic keyword phrase. That's your signal. Take that exact question and use it as your next podcast episode title—or adjust it slightly to make a tighter promise under 55 characters. When searchers type that same question into Google, your episode can appear alongside Reddit, Quora, and other trusted sources. This is how you tap into organic discoverability.When you record the episode, build your talking points around the best answers, patterns, and objections you found inside those Reddit threads. This ensures your content doesn't just match the title but fully matches the searcher's intent. Then, in your show notes, write a clear summary of the process and highlight a few bullet-point takeaways. Skimmable notes help both your listeners and search engines parse your expertise.Listen to the Audio Podcast Featuring the Podsafe Music of Major The Black Sheep - As The World Turns:In this episode, we feature the podsafe music of hip hop sensation Major The Black Sheep with the song As The World Turns.

On the docket this week are: ✨ Three AI robots have started “working” for the Icelandic container company. Their job is to sort garbage. ✨ Morgunblaðið has been  going nuts about the profitability of drilling for oil on the ocean floor north east of Iceland, in an area generally referred to as “Drekasvæðið” or the Dragon Zone. What do you guys think is driving this discussion, and does it really make sense to drill for oil — underwater — at this point in history?✨ Four out of ten Icelanders say they have faith. Down from just over half of the population 10 years ago. 25% claim to be atheist, compared to about 15% in 2014. We see the trend of young men being more religious that women, with a third of men saying they have faith, while only a fifth of women report the same. ✨ A Reykjavík city council member of Viðreisn, suggested during a city council meeting last week, that the school summer recess would be shortened. The minister of education announced he'd be willing to discuss the proposition. ✨ On Friday, Estonia announced they were putting article 4 of the NATO charter into effect, initiating a consultation among the member states. This happened after Russian airplanes entered Estonian airspace.✨ Political parties meet over the weekend. Viðreisn, one of the three political parties of the majority coalition government was re-elected chairman of that party over the weekend. The Pirate party also met over, decided to take up the status of chair and co-chairman as a part of their party's hierarchy, but nobody really seemed interested in becoming chairman of the party.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHO ARE WE?The Reykjavík Grapevine is an alternative monthly magazine, bringing you all the news and views on Ice------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

At House of Shine, we believe everyone has a dream worth planting—and in this episode, we hear one of the most inspiring yet. Santi, a high school senior at Jesuit Dallas, returns to the podcast to share how a dream he planted at our museum—a dream to build a permanent soccer league for underserved kids in Grapevine—is steadily coming to life. What began with a Change Bowl grant and a simple idea for a one-day soccer camp has grown into a full-blown youth league known as Soccer with Santi. Through creativity, grit, and collaboration, Santi has brought together community volunteers, corporate partners like FC Dallas, and even a local graphic designer to help create something far greater than just a game. His dream? To now build a permanent soccer field right in front of the kids' apartment complex—giving them a safe, consistent space to play, belong, and shine. This episode is the perfect kickoff to our Dream Initiative series, which showcases everyday dreamers who are rolling up their sleeves and turning their passions into real-world impact. Santi's story reminds us that dreams aren't just wishful thinking—they're blueprints for building a better tomorrow. Key Topics: The origin story of Soccer with Santi Why access to team sports creates confidence, identity, and inclusion What it takes to turn a dream into a sustainable community program How House of Shine helped Santi discover his “do” and empowered his “share” The power of competition, accountability, and gratitude in leadership What it means to plant a dream—and invite others to help it grow Tune in and be inspired to dust off your own dream, plant it in our International Dream Garden, and begin the journey to share it with the world

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don't have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em' Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

Episode IntroductionPodcasters today face a huge challenge: how do you get your show discovered in the new AI-driven world? It's not enough to rely on traditional SEO or social sharing anymore—AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others are increasingly where people go to get answers. The problem is, if your podcast isn't structured properly, AI won't suggest your episodes when people are searching for solutions. This episode shows exactly how to make your podcast titles, show notes, and transcripts AI-friendly so you get recommended more often and increase downloads.Previous EpisodeUse ChatGPT to Create Your Podcast Show Notes FAST in MINUTES | S4 E15SummaryIn this episode of Become A Successful Podcaster, Bruce Chamoff breaks down how to align your podcast with AI discovery. With millions now asking AI tools for solutions, Bruce focuses on three levers: (1) optimize titles and show notes under ~55 characters and ~4,000 characters respectively; (2) publish your transcripts in show notes and on your blog; (3) build authority with E-A-T—expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. He also previews deeper dives on authority building and interlinking episodes for binge listening and long-tail discovery.Sample Transcript“…You want to get suggestions, so I'm going to give you three tips to make that happen. It's all about your episode titles and your show notes. Max out those show notes—usually ~4,000 characters is the limit. Put your transcript into a blog post so ChatGPT can find it, and become an authority. If you're an authority, ChatGPT will show you to more people and you'll get more downloads.”Related Podcast EpisodesOne Secret To More Podcast Downloads | S4 E14Shari Gives Her Opinion on AI In Podcasting | S4 E13Playing Podsafe Music on Your Podcast in 2025 with Shari Post | S4 E12Comparison of 7 Podcast Mics – My favorite podcast mic revealed | S4 E11The RIGHT Social Network For Your Podcast | S3 E17About Bruce ChamoffBruce Chamoff is a podcaster, musician, entrepreneur, and public speaker with decades of creative and business experience.

Episode IntroductionPodcasters face a constant challenge: keeping their workflow organized while still producing content that resonates and grows an audience.

This episode shows you how to streamline your entire release process with AI tools like ChatGPT, while also building better SEO, engagement, and binge-worthy episode connections.Previous EpisodeCheck out the latest episode of Become a Successful Podcaster with Bruce Chamoff here: The Latest Episode on Apple PodcastsSummaryIn this episode, Bruce Chamoff walks through his proven “Podcast Release Checklist,” designed to save podcasters time while boosting downloads. He explains how ChatGPT can handle tasks like show notes, HTML formatting, YouTube descriptions, and even tags. Bruce also demonstrates why transcripts from tools like Otter.ai may be more reliable than certain AI platforms, and how to use them without paying for expensive services. Beyond technical steps, he emphasizes SEO—optimizing every single podcast episode to attract more listeners individually. He also shares tips on cross-promotion, like linking previous and related episodes to encourage binge listening.
