Podcasts about Grover

What if the fastest way to help a loved one stop using isn't pushing harder but stepping out of the “villain” role? We sit down with master addiction counselor and YouTuber Amber Hollingsworth to unpack a practical, compassionate framework that actually moves people from resistance to readiness. Amber explains why policing, nagging, and ultimatums create the perfect distraction from change—and how strategic empathy, active listening, and credibility open the door to real motivation.We break the recovery process into simple, workable steps: stop being the bad guy, build trust by reflecting the person's perspective, and allow the bargaining phase—“only on weekends,” “just beer,” “no more pills”—to serve as useful data rather than defeat. You'll hear how to accelerate learning without triggering defensiveness, why a 30-day trial of sobriety is a powerful reality check, and how to prepare resources so you can act quickly when the “I'm ready” moment arrives. We also dive into separate-counselor models that lower conflict, how to align change with a person's values and strengths, and the role of humor and respect in keeping people engaged.We don't ignore medical realities. From treating insomnia, anxiety, and depression in early recovery to using long-acting buprenorphine injections for opioid use disorder, we explore low-barrier tools that improve safety and adherence—especially vital in the fentanyl era. The goal isn't to force a path; it's to create conditions where the next right step feels easier than the last wrong one.If you're a parent, partner, or clinician looking for strategies that work in the real world, this conversation offers concrete scripts, mindset shifts, and timing cues you can use today.

On Prophecy Radio episode #146, Karen and Kristen revisit Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 in all its glory, discussing their very favorite moments and any lingering questions ahead of season 2. They also delve into the latest news, including some new footage from the upcoming season. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:6:07) Do you have a Menchie's Frozen Yogurt near you? If so, make sure you stop there on December 10! The new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 posters depict the giants, Polyphemus, and even the sirens. Did you hear about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians official podcast? Rick is the Indigo Author of the Month, which means it's the perfect time to pick up the Sea of Monsters Deluxe Collector's Edition. (Rick shows off what it looks like on his Instagram.) Illumicrate is reprinting their exclusive Percy Jackson and the Olympians set! This is your sign to pick it up if you missed out last time. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 revisit (00:18:44) It's time to jump into our revisit of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, starting with–you guessed it–episode 1! Walker is so young in these episodes! And Young Percy is masterful in those early scenes (and the later ones, too!). We're still impressed with the CGI in this show. The cabin scene is so emotional–both Walker and Virginia bring their A-Game. Honestly, this pilot is one of the best we've ever seen. Our first question after jumping into episode 2 is whether we'll see the Council of Cloven Elders again. Will we get another montage in season 2 of all the things Percy got better at?? Was Annabeth watching Percy the whole time, or was she following Clarisse instead? How big are the other symbols going to be when kids start getting claimed? Clarisse is a textbook bully, and we're so excited to see her growth in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. Grover is smarter than both Chiron and Mr. D, and we'll be taking no objections to that. Episode 3 is fantastic for so many reasons, but especially the growth of the trio's relationship. Percy earned a lot of Annabeth's respect when he talked about why he chose her for the quest. Grover stood up to his friends, and that's super difficult. Percy IS impertinent. Medusa was a standout in this episode–especially her speech about how the gods are the real monsters. Episode 4 begins with Young Percy in the pool and ends with current-day Percy in the river. It's good that Percy got to see that not all mythological creatures are monsters. Will we see more of the Mist in season 2? Echidna was super terrifying, actually. Episode 5 is a standout, for sure. We get Percy and Annabeth's first hug, so mark that down. But the real emotional epicenter of this episode is during the chair scene and Annabeth's speech to Hephaestus. Ares is the worst, but we still kind of love him. “Thank you for the cheeseburgers and the emotional abuse.” Yeah, they're not going to shy away from his abusive relationship with Clarisse. Oh, Leah Jeffries is a PROFESSIONAL. Will they have a callback to this episode once Aphrodite is introduced? Episode 6 brings us to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. We also meet Hermes in this episode, and it's interesting to see Annabeth's interactions with him. We talk about Clarisse a little, too, and how she differs from Annabeth but has her own strengths.. Percy misses out on his dad, unfortunately. In episode 7, we get the long-awaited mattress shop scene, even if it was pretty brief. Cerberus is super cute, and Annabeth is so smart! We don't always love flashbacks, but they work super well in this show. How do we feel about Hades' casting? The best moment from this episode might just be the diner scene when Poseidon shows up. Finally, we talk about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 finale. Percy vs. Ares was awesome, especially that ichor effect. It's amazing to see Percy own his abilities and the relationship with his dad. What did we think of the look of Olympus? Lance Reddick will always be our Zeus. Poseidon totally still has the hots for Sally. We can't help but notice the lighting for the scene between Luke and Percy at the end. Grover's Searcher's license is a flower!! We're so excited for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. It won't be long now! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 147, where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1, as well as all the latest news.

The bell rings, the doors open, and the real work begins: keeping kids safe while the drug market slips into their phones and pockets. We sit down with Principal Leland Hansen to unpack the day-to-day reality of school-based prevention, from vape pens hidden in hoodies to Snapchat dealers who change handles as fast as administrators can warn parents. Leland lays out a candid, practical playbook that pairs firm boundaries with a health-first response, including a six-week on-campus program for first offenses that removes friction for families and actually gets used.We get specific about what's showing up now—tobacco and THC vapes far more than alcohol—why post-legalization supply is spilling into schools, and how educators investigate under strict limits that require reasonable suspicion. Leland shares the red flags he watches for, like sudden changes in demeanor and unlikely new friend pairings, and explains why middle school is the leverage point where beliefs are forming and choices stick. We compare big assemblies that grab attention with smaller class sessions that build trust and invite tough questions, and we talk about how students quietly use anonymous tip lines to help friends despite a “no snitching” culture.Parents are crucial, but time-starved. We discuss ways to reach them—tabling at concerts and back-to-school nights, short videos and podcasts they can catch between chores, and direct guidance on home limits that reinforce school expectations. Partnerships matter: local nonprofits providing on-campus support, health educators updating staff on evolving devices, and police following up when adult sellers target kids. The throughline is simple and strong: clear rules, credible facts, and rapid support change outcomes.If you care about safer schools, smarter prevention, and giving adolescents real choices, you'll find tactics you can use tomorrow—whether you're an educator, parent, or community partner.

In this episode of Mining Minds, Dino and Grover sit down with longtime miner, electrician, and leader Jason Bohl for an unfiltered conversation about life inside the industry — from early apprenticeships to leadership pressures, from underground lessons to personal turning points. Jason walks us through a career built on work ethic, motivation, and authenticity, sharing how he learned to "figure it out," how mentors shaped him, and how staying self-driven opened unexpected doors. We also dive into the real side of mining: burnout, mental health, navigating fatherhood while working long hours, rebuilding after setbacks, and redefining success. Jason opens up about resilience, responsibility, supporting the next generation, and finding balance after years of nonstop grind. Please help us welcome Jason Bohl to the Face!

ARES & LIN MANUEL MIRANDA HERMES!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Full Series Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episodes 5 & 6, continuing Disney+'s faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief. As Percy, Annabeth, and Grover race to stop a divine war, these episodes crank the stakes way up — bringing in major Olympian players and some of the season's most memorable set pieces. In Episode 5 (“A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers”), Percy (Walker Scobell – The Adam Project, Secret Headquarters) reunites with Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries – Beast, Empire) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri – Cheaper by the Dozen, Spin) on the road to Los Angeles — only to be pulled into Ares' brutal side-quest at Waterland. We get the Tunnel of Love trap, the nerve-shredding Hephaestus throne sequence, and Percy's growing realization that the gods' games are deadlier than any monster. These episodes feature huge guest-star gods, including Adam Copeland (Vikings, WWE Hall of Fame) as the intimidating Ares, and Timothy Omundson (Psych, Galavant) as Hephaestus, whose heartbreaking mythology adds real emotional weight to the quest. Episode 6 (“We Take a Zebra to Vegas”) swings the trio into Las Vegas' Lotus Hotel & Casino, where time warps, temptation hits hard, and the deadline to prevent war slips away. The episode introduces Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Encanto) as Hermes, bringing charm and mystery as Percy tries to get answers about the bolt and Luke's involvement — all while the Lotus tries to swallow them whole. Tara & Greg REACT to the best moments including the Waterland Tunnel of Love / shield trap, Percy nearly sacrificing himself on Hephaestus' throne, Ares' threats and divine manipulation, the trio arriving in Vegas and getting lost in the Lotus' time-dilation spell, Hermes' reveal and the ticking clock toward the Underworld, & MORE!!

The most dangerous phrase in senior health might be “I've always handled it fine.” We dive into how aging reshapes the risks of alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, nicotine, and today's ultra‑potent cannabis—and why familiar habits can turn hazardous after 65. Drawing on frontline cases and recent research, we unpack the baby boomer lived experience, from “mother's little helper” to daily cocktail hours in senior communities, then connect it to the biology of aging: slower metabolism, reduced kidney and liver function, impaired balance, and sharper sensitivity to side effects.You'll hear why DSM‑5 criteria still apply but require age‑aware interpretation, what “code cannabis” looks like in the ER when edibles or high‑THC products masquerade as stroke, and how subtle red flags—poor sleep, irritability, shakiness, forgetfulness, falls—signal a brewing problem. We get practical about safer detox for older adults, the reality of kindling with alcohol withdrawal, and the medication decisions that matter: when to taper sedatives, how to avoid dangerous interactions, and why nutrition and B‑vitamins can't be an afterthought. Two real-world cases ground the lessons—titrating decades‑long benzodiazepine and Z‑drug use while reducing fall risk, and using naltrexone strategically for late‑onset alcohol use without tipping a patient into instability.If you care for an older adult—or you are one—this conversation offers clear steps to lower risk and raise quality of life: rethink sleep meds, reduce alcohol use, check cannabis potency, simplify regimens, and choose therapy and support groups that fit your season of life. Subscribe, share this with a friend or colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep building smart, stigma‑free care for older adults.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

On Prophecy Radio episode #145, Karen and Kristen discuss the brand new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer. They also discuss a few fun news items, and catch up on some personal news, too. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:15:00) Roseanne A. Brown got married! Congratulations!! Today's really big news: WE GOT A TRAILER. More on that later. The London Cast recording of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is live on streaming! (You can also preorder the CD from their website if you prefer) Our favorite trio did an interview with MTV about their Percy Jackson characters and how they relate to music Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer breakdown (00:20:45) First: Check out the full trailer! Walker has grown so much and it really shows in the opening shots. Prophetic dreams? Are they talking about us?!?! What happened to the three people around Grover when he gets snatched by that tentacle? Laistrygonian sighting. When it's not Luke trying to kill you... We take a pretty good look at Percy's room. Definitely reflects the inner workings of a kid with ADHD. We love this dream talk. Percy's not the only one having dreams, even if we forget that sometimes. The Stymphalian birds are incredible! Can't wait to see that whole scene in action! Grey Sisters sighting: the comedy is on point. The brief bits of Tyson we get here are very promising. We see TreeThalia being stabbed by Luke. Leah is going to absolutely destroy our emotions with her reactions to Thalia's tree being disturbed. Quick shot of Grover (no, we don't see a wedding dress) and Polyphemus with his shepherd's hook. THE POSTCARDS (is it weird that I kinda hope there's a special feature all about these?!) The side by side of Annabeth and Clarice on the ship? New besties alert?! We are desperately hoping we get to see the transformation of Thalia's bracelet into the Aegis. (Here's a link to those stills we talked about on the Percyseries Insta.) This moving rock shot has us a little stumped, but is Annabeth having her siren visions here? That smooth black and gold rock HAS to be Kronos' sarcophagus (good call, Karen!) Who is the winker? Percy falling freaked us out for a second. The CGI on these battle sequences is INSANE. This season is going to be beyond epic. Our favorite moments from the trailer Our predictions/wants/questions for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 We are both really excited to see that siren scene play out. Here's the link to that video of the trio watching the trailer together! Enjoy! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 146, where we'll recap and review Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, as well as all the latest news.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-20-2025: Dr. Dawn discusses GLP-1 inhibitors like Zepbound and semaglutide showing unexpected benefits for addiction treatment beyond diabetes and weight loss. Patients in rehab report these drugs mute cravings for alcohol, cocaine, and cigarettes. Multiple studies show reduced substance abuse rates in users, with VA and NIH conducting trials examining brain activity and responses to triggers. With 80,000 annual drug overdose deaths and 48 million Americans having substance abuse disorders, these medications may revolutionize addiction treatment by dampening brain reward circuitry, though costs threaten healthcare budgets. A Stanford twin study found those twins assigned a vegan diet had substantially lower cholesterol, insulin, and body weight compared to their omnivore twins after several months, with LDL dropping 15mg, four pounds more weight loss, and 20% lower insulin. Dr. Dawn explains how a fungal disease decimating Central American frog populations caused 500% malaria increases in some areas. The fungus kills frogs by blocking skin electrolytes until hearts stop, eliminating tadpoles that eat mosquito larvae. Ecosystem collapses followed with algae blooms and snake population drops. She provides other examples showing how species losses affect human health, emphasizing the "one health" movement recognizing ecosystem health as fundamental to human wellbeing. An Australian study found people aged 70+ who listen to or play music regularly had 39% lower dementia rates, though causation remains uncertain. Princeton research shows music activates multiple brain regions simultaneously. Learning instruments increases gray matter, and musical memory remains intact in advanced dementia since it's stored separately from other memories. A caller discusses how modern screen-based activities provide less multisensory engagement than past social experiences like dances. Another caller describes Grover's disease causing persistent itchy skin with no known cause. Dr. Dawn recommends an elimination diet removing common allergens for one month, then reintroducing individually to identify food sensitivities triggering immune responses. Dr. Dawn explains xenotransplantation advances with genetically edited pigs beginning full-scale kidney transplant trials. Companies use CRISPR to disable genes causing immune rejection and insert human genes promoting immune tolerance. With only 10% of global kidney patients receiving organs, these could provide unlimited supply. Other innovations include kidneys with thymus tissue to teach immune tolerance and external pig liver systems as transplant bridges. She concludes noting research showing female dogs remember and prefer humans who demonstrate competence at tasks, while male dogs show no preference.

We kicked things off by showing our freshly repainted Samick Avion / Greg Bennett mini guitar — HUGE shout-out to Ron! This little beast started life as a black eBay car guitar, but now it's a champagne flip-flop copper ripper loaded with an Epiphone humbucker, Pure Tone jack, and Grover tuners. We played it, loved it, ROCKED it.

Food isn't just fuel and obesity isn't just willpower. We sat down with bariatric surgeon Dr. Mark Vierra to unpack what weight-loss surgery really changes, why genetics and hormones can overpower the best intentions, and how a careful program decides who needs a scalpel and who needs a different plan. From GLP‑1 surges and ghrelin drops to PYY's “brake,” we walk through how surgery reshapes appetite signals and why even modest weight loss can dramatically improve diabetes and cardiovascular risk.The conversation goes beyond the operating room. Dr. Vierra explains why five of six referrals don't get surgery, how he and his partner analyze food diaries, depression, and daily constraints, and when medications like bupropion or GLP‑1s make more sense. We explore binge patterns, the messy reality of predicting who will do well after weight loss surgery, and the tough calls around patients who've been told their BMI is destiny when their labs and function say otherwise. The story shifts sharply when we talk alcohol: after gastric bypass, blood alcohol rises faster and stays higher, which raises the risk of alcohol use disorder over time. We share practical ways to screen motives for drinking, plan safeguards with families, and use craving meds thoughtfully.What ties it all together is respect for biology and the person in front of us. Genetics like MC4R variants and syndromes such as Prader–Willi can drive lifelong hyperphagia; ultra‑processed foods and liquid calories amplify the problem; stigma keeps people from care. We push for a different bias—against soda and engineered foods, not against people—and for care that follows patients long after the incisions heal. If you want a grounded, humane guide to obesity treatment, this conversation delivers clarity without blame.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it. Your support helps us keep building informed, stigma‑free conversations about health.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Noch gelten die meisten modernen Verschlüsselungsverfahren als ziemlich sicher. Doch manche der heute gängigen Algorithmen können durch hinreichend leistungsstarke Quantencomputer nicht nur geschwächt, sondern geradezu nutzlos werden, beispielsweise RSA. Denn Quantencomputer eignen sich hervorragend, um mathematische Probleme wie die Primfaktorzerlegung extrem effizient zu lösen. Dass es solche Rechner jemals geben wird, ist zwar noch nicht zu hundert Prozent ausgemacht. Nach aktuellem Forschungsstand ist aber davon auszugehen, dass der "Q-Day" keine Frage des "ob" mehr ist, sondern nur noch eine des "wann". Sowohl Banken und Versicherungskonzerne als auch Behörden und andere staatliche Institutionen tun also gut daran, sich auf dieses Szenario vorzubereiten. Sie müssen die Verschlüsselung ihrer Kommunikation auf Algorithmen umstellen, die nach heutigem Kenntnisstand auch von Quantencomputern nicht gebrochen werden können. "Post Quantum Cryptography" ist das Schlagwort dazu, kurz PQC. Das klingt nach Raketenwissenschaft (ist es auch irgendwie), doch es gibt auch eine gute Nachricht: PQC-Algorithmen existieren durchaus und werden in einigen Bereichen auch schon in der Breite eingesetzt. Im c't uplink sprechen wir über allerhand Fragen zu PQC und Quantencomputern. Vor welchen praktischen Herausforderungen stehen etwa Banken? Warum sind manche Algorithmen gefährdet und andere nicht? Wie rechnet ein Quantencomputer? Wie kann man sich Qubits vorstellen – und wie sieht die Hardware eines Quantencomputers eigentlich aus? ► Unseren Schwerpunkt zu Post-Quanten-Kryptographie lesen Sie bei heise+: https://www.heise.de/ratgeber/Wie-Quantencomputer-Banken-und-Versicherungen-bedrohen-10646496.html ► sowie in c't 23/2025: https://www.heise.de/select/ct/2025/23/2525815470955601129

Your brain is ancient, but your world is not. We unpack how a hunter-gatherer reward system runs into modern dopamine superstimuli—engineered foods, infinite feeds, one-click buys, and potent drugs—and why that mismatch can spiral into addiction. Using clear language and vivid examples, we explain cravings, compulsion, and consequences through the lens of dopamine: how normal rewards help us survive, how substances hijack that circuitry, and how constant notifications keep the throttle stuck open.We go deeper into the factors that raise or lower risk. Genetics account for roughly half of vulnerability and often determine a “drug of choice,” where one person feels sick from alcohol while another feels energized and social. Then we connect the dots between mental health and substance use. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD frequently overlap with addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works. The ACEs research shows how chronic childhood stress reshapes the brain and the body, setting the stage for later disease. PTSD flips fight-or-flight on at the wrong time, and many people reach for alcohol or cannabis to blunt nightmares and panic, only to worsen the cycle.Timing is pivotal. Teen brains run on lower baseline dopamine yet respond fiercely to novelty, making early use more rewarding and more dangerous. We share practical insights about delaying use, protecting brain development, and building real skills for stress, sleep, and conflict. A candid case study ties it together: a young adult mixing alcohol and cocaine, a missed PTSD diagnosis, and a turning point when care shifts to trauma therapy and targeted medications. The takeaway is hopeful and clear—when we treat the pain beneath the substance and rebuild healthy rewards, recovery becomes possible and durable.If this conversation helped you see addiction more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your support helps more people find science-based care and hope.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

A brightly colored box at a smoke shop should not hit like an opioid, yet that's the business model behind “gas station heroin.” We dive into how tianeptine—a foreign antidepressant with mu‑opioid activity—landed on American countertops as a “dietary supplement,” and why that mirrors a broader playbook: repackage potent psychoactives, exploit loopholes, pivot fast when bans arrive, and let consumers pay the price. Joined by Matthew Lowe, executive director of the Global Kratom Coalition, we trace the supply chain from warehouses to wallets and separate leaf kratom from the synthetic isolates hijacking its name.We break down the risk gradient inside the kratom category: natural leaf with fiber and mixed pharmacology, concentrated extracts that raise potency, and seven‑hydroxymitragynine products that function like a novel opioid. Matthew explains why the FDA's percentage‑based scheduling of 7‑OH is a smart, surgical fix that preserves traditional use while ejecting synthetic opioids from the “supplement” aisle. We also tackle hemp's loophole economy—Delta‑8 and Delta‑10 THC derived from hemp yet delivering marijuana‑like effects with far less oversight—plus contamination, cross‑stocking, and the handful of distributors fueling multiple “legal high” trends at once.Beyond policy, we talk people. When regulators finally pull a dangerous product, dependent users are often left stranded. We outline a practical path: better labeling that discloses opioid activity and dependence risk, age gates, potency caps, and targeted enforcement against unapproved drugs sold as supplements. Just as crucial, clinicians need straightforward guidance to assess what patients took, why they took it, and how to transition them to safer, evidence‑based care without stigma.Curious how these products keep showing up, what “novel synthetic opioid” really means, and how we can protect choice where risk is low while acting decisively where harm is high?

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews the national tour of “Stereophonic” at Broadway SF Curran Theatre through November 23, 2025.           TEXT OF REVIEW ​​​​​What does it take to put together a hit rock album, especially if the band itself seems to be falling apart, particularly the two couples that comprise most of the group? How do you separate the personal from the professional when you're stuck in a recording studio for months? Those questions lie at the heart of the Tony winning play with music, Stereophonic, now in its national and London touring production at BroadwaySF's Curran Theatre through November 23rd. The unnamed band in the play is fictional, barely. The year is 1976, the studio is in Sausalito, and the group bears a remarkable resemblance to Fleetwood Mac, on their way to recording the album “Rumours,” a resemblance so close that the playwright, David Adjani was forced to settle a lawsuit with a chronicler of the band, though publicly he denies it all. He says he wanted to create a kind of live documentary, unfolding before the audience's eyes. The actors sing and play their own instruments; the soundboard on stage is a working soundboard, the playbacks are not pre-recorded and taped during the play's performance. It's a play, it''s live, and it puts you fifty years in the past. The set is the studio in Sausalito, in front, below, the ‘70s era recording console, and above and behind, seen through solid glass, the recording studio itself. The real studio was small and a little grungy. So is the studio at the Curran. Stereophonic begins quietly, there's no sudden darkening of the theater. The actors have been on stage for a little while, and now they're talking while waiting for their bassist to come in, likely stoned and drunk. They've just received word the budget has increased, and their time making the album is unlimited. The character Diana's solo track is back on the charts, and so is the last album. We listen in as they chat about their work, get stoned together, drink a bit, have arguments; both couples break up and make up, the music is dissected and re-recorded. The inexperienced engineer Grover, a very good Jack Barrett, does his best through the madness We learn about each band member, their relationship to each other, and to art itselfl. The acting and performing are impeccable. This really could be a successful band, and their songs hits. Stereophonic is quite long, almost 3 hours, still 20 minutes shorter than on Broadway, but it needs the time to warm up, to get in synch with the characters. The build-up is slow, but paying close attention, Stereophonic can become an exhilarating night in the theater. The national tour of Stereophonic plays at BRoadwaySF ‘s Curran theatre through November 23. For more information, you can go to broadwaysf.com. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area Theatre for KPFA.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to practice Addiction Medicine? In this episode I speak about what we do in Addiction Medicine - both generally as well as how we do things in our practice on the Central Coast of California. I share how our clinic treats substance use with low‑barrier access, kind care, peer support, and long‑acting injectables while partnering with therapists to address trauma and ADHD that often drive relapse. I also review two cases that reveal how PTSD and undiagnosed ADHD change the treatment plan and the outcome.Topics Discussed:• What an addiction medicine visit includes  • Medications for alcohol and opioid use disorder  • The "three‑legged stool" of meds, therapy, and groups to treat addiction• Levels of care and smooth transitions  • Dual diagnosis as the rule, not the exception  • Low‑barrier access through walk‑ins and telemedicine  • Person‑first language to reduce stigma  • Peer support as lived‑experience expertise  • Long‑acting injectables to boost adherence  • Mobile street medicine and carceral care partnershipsTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

The sensational news reports about the 3I Atlas space anomaly, especially on social media, are becoming eerily similar to Orson Welles' October 30, 1938, broadcast of The War of the Worlds, which stunned listeners with its simulated live-news format, convincing many that Grover's Mill, New Jersey, was under siege. It is all coming together right now, as NASA is closed due to the government shutdown, while this mysterious celestial object becomes the extraterrestrial bogeyman that is creating a real War of the Worlds scenario. With all of the chaos and turmoil going on, what would it take to unite people? Well, perhaps we know the answer, and 3I/Atlas just happens to be a convenient example of how a government can take advantage of an alien threat.

Dr. Casey Grover shares his personal struggle with food addiction and binge eating while exploring the science behind why certain foods trigger addictive behaviors in the brain. He examines how the food industry deliberately engineers products to maximize pleasure and consumption through carefully calibrated combinations of sugar, fat, and salt.• Food addiction involves an intense dopamine response to certain foods that varies between individuals based on genetic predisposition• The food industry uses "bliss point" science to make products as addictive as possible• Ultra-processed foods make up over half the average American diet despite increasing risks of various diseases• Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating) are mental health conditions where food behaviors are merely the symptoms• Treatment options include SSRIs, topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion combinations, and potentially GLP-1 medications• Weight loss surgery fails to address the underlying mental health aspects of food addiction• Dr. Grover's personal experience with naltrexone showed how it made previously pleasurable foods taste "flat"If you found this episode helpful, please consider supporting Central Coast Overdose Prevention (https://ccodp.org/) and the work we do to treat addiction and prevent overdoses.

This episode is the fourth and final episode of a four part series on stigma.This episode is done in collaboration with Central Coast Overdose Prevention (CCODP) and was made possible by California Overdose Prevention Network Accelerator funding from the Public Health Institute's Center for Health Leadership and Impact.First responders face unique mental health challenges due to the high-stress nature of their work, but stigma often prevents them from seeking help when they're struggling. Dr. Casey Grover, firefighter/paramedic Jesse, and firefighter/paremedic Evan discuss the psychological toll of being the ones who save lives, including PTSD, addiction, and the struggle with vulnerability.We also hear from Dr. Reb Close, who worked as an Emergency Medicine physician for over 20 years.• First responders naturally prioritize others over themselves, often neglecting self-care• "Normalization of deviance" occurs when first responders gradually develop unhealthy coping mechanisms• PTSD is a permanent brain change that many first responders experience but fear admitting• Female first responders face additional challenges and scrutiny in male-dominated professions• The pressure to appear perfect creates barriers to seeking help, even when struggling severely• First responders often judge themselves more harshly than they judge others• Addiction can develop as a way to self-medicate trauma and stress• Recovery is possible when first responders become willing to be vulnerable and uncomfortable• Those with established careers have the social capital to break stigma by sharing their experiencesIf you're a first responder struggling with mental health or addiction issues, please know that help is available and seeking it early can prevent tremendous suffering. You are not alone, and recovery is possible.To Contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

The joy of teaching lies not only in helping students surpass their own expectations but in the collaborative process that makes learning a shared journey. In my approach, fostering a love for science and learning happens through meaningful collaboration—with students, colleagues, and the broader academic community. I believe that when we embrace collaboration, we empower students to actively engage with material, rediscover their scientific curiosity, and take ownership of their learning. By creating discussion-based classrooms and utilizing evidence-based pedagogies, I work alongside students to foster inquiry and critical thinking, helping them develop the skills to ask insightful questions and seek meaningful answers. Incorporating my own research into the classroom enriches this process, bringing real-world insights and cutting-edge developments into our discussions. This not only keeps students connected to the latest in the field but also demonstrates the dynamic relationship between teaching and research. Collaboration with peers further enhances my teaching by enabling me to share ideas, refine methods, and experiment with new approaches. While challenges such as administrative pressures and discipline-specific cultures can pose obstacles, our commitment to supporting one another's growth—through both successes and setbacks—strengthens the teaching community as a whole. This collaborative mindset not only enhances student engagement and critical thinking but also fosters a deeper love for the work we do and a shared passion for teaching and learning that transforms the classroom experience. A good teacher, by necessity, is also a good researcher—constantly questioning, experimenting, and refining their approach to foster an environment of collaborative inquiry and growth.

For the first time, Shor's Algorithm is running on logical qubits! The team at Infleqtion used their Sqale neutral atom processor to accomplish the feat. While the setup only uses six logical qubits, and we're still in the range of factoring 15 or 21, this is both a proof of concept and a proof of the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We discuss the aggressive 2.5:1 physical-to-logical ratio of Sqale, which could lead to hundreds of logical qubits by 2028. Also, find out why Shor's Algorithm could surprisingly end up being one of the first killer apps for quantum computing, rather than a later use case.

Christopher Danielson, Which One Doesn't Belong? Routine: Fostering Flexible Reasoning ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 1 The idea of comparing items and looking for similarities and differences has been explored by many math educators. Christopher Danielson has taken this idea to new heights. Inspired by the Sesame Street song “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others),” Christopher wrote the book Which One Doesn't Belong? In this episode, we'll ask Christopher about the routine of the same name and the features that make it such a powerful learning experience for students.  BIOGRAPHY Christopher Danielson started teaching in 1994 in the Saint Paul (MN) Public Schools. He earned his PhD in mathematics education from Michigan State University in 2005 and taught at the college level for 10 years after that. Christopher is the author of Which One Doesn't Belong?, How Many?, and How Did You Count? Christopher also founded Math On-A-Stick, a large-scale family math playspace at the Minnesota State Fair.

A Picture Book by Christopher Danielson TRANSCRIPT Mike Wallus: The idea of comparing items and looking for similarities and differences has been explored by many math educators. That said, Christopher Danielson has taken this idea to new heights. Inspired by Sesame Street's [song] “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others),” Christopher wrote the book Which One Doesn't Belong? In this episode, we'll ask Christopher about the Which one doesn't belong? routine and the features that make it such a powerful learning experience for students.  Well, welcome to the podcast, Christopher. I'm excited to be talking with you today.  Christopher Danielson: Thank you for the invitation. Delightful to be invited.  Mike: I would love to chat a little bit about the routine Which one doesn't belong? So, I'll ask a question that I often will ask folks, which is: If I'm a listener, and I don't have prior knowledge of that routine, how would you describe it for someone? Christopher: Yeah. Sesame Street, back in the day, had a routine called Which one doesn't belong? There was a little song that went along with it. And for me, the iconic Sesame Street image is [this:] Grover is on the stairs up to the brownstone on the Sesame Street set, and there are four circles drawn in a 2-by-2 grid in chalk on the wall. And there are a few of the adults and a couple of the puppets sitting around, and they're asking Grover and singing the song, “Which One of Them Doesn't Belong?” There are four circles. Three of them are large and one is small—or maybe it's the other way around, I don't remember. So, there's one right answer, and Grover is thinking really hard—"think real hard” is part of the song. They're singing to him. He's under kind of a lot of pressure to come up with which one doesn't belong and fortunately, Grover succeeds. Grover's a hero.  But what we're wanting kids to attend to there is size. There are three things that are the same size. All of them are the same shape, three that are the same size, one that has a different size. They're wanting to attend to size. Lovely. This one doesn't belong because it is a different size, just like my underwear doesn't belong in my socks drawer because it has a different function. I mean, it's not—for me there is, we could talk a little bit about this in a moment. The belonging is in that mathematical and everyday sense of objects and whether they belong.  So, that's the Sesame Street version. Through a long chain of math educators, I came across a sort of tradition that had been flying along under the radar of rethinking that, with the idea being that instead of there being one property to attend to, we're going to have a rich set of shapes that have rich and interesting relationships with each other. And so Which one doesn't belong? depends on which property you're attending to.  So, the first page of the book that I published, called Which One Doesn't Belong?, has four shapes on it. One is an equilateral triangle standing on a vertex. One is a square standing on a vertex. One is a rhombus, a nonsquare rhombus standing on its vertex, and it's not colored in. All the other shapes are colored in. And then there is the same nonsquare thrombus colored in, resting on a side. So, all sort of simple shapes that offer simple introductory properties, but different people are going to notice different things. Some kids will hone in on that. The one in the lower left doesn't belong because it's not colored in. Other kids will say, “Well, I'm counting the number of sides or the number of corners. And so, the triangle doesn't belong because all the others have four and it has three.” Others will think about angle measure, they'll choose a square. Others will think about orientation. I've been taken to task by a couple of people about this. Kindergartners are still thinking about orientation as one of the properties. So, the shape that is in the lower right on that first page is a rhombus resting on a side instead of on a vertex. And kids will describe it as “the one that feels like it's leaning over” or that “has a flat bottom” or “it's pointing up and to the right” and all the others are pointing straight up and down. So that's the routine. And then things, as with “How Did You Count?” as with “How Many?” As you page your way through the book, things get more sophisticated. And for me, the entry was a geometry book because when my kids were small, we had sort of these simplistic shapes books, but really rich narrative stories in picture books that we could read. And it was always a bummer to me that we'd read these rich stories about characters interacting. We'd see how their interactions, their conflicts relate to our own lives, and then we'd get to the math books, and it would be like, “triangle: always equilateral, always on a side.” “Square: never a square on the rectangle page.” Rectangle gets a different page from square. And so, we understand culturally that children can deal with and are interested in and find fascinating and imaginative rich narratives, but we don't understand as a culture that children also have rich math minds.  So, for a long time I wanted there to be a better shapes book, and there are some better shapes books. They're not all like that, but they're almost all like that. And so, I had this idea after watching one of my colleagues here in Minnesota, Terry Wyberg. This routine, he was doing it with fractions, but about a week later I thought to myself, “Hey, wait a minute, what if I took Terry's idea about there not being one right answer, but any of the four could be, and combine that with my wish for a better shapes book?” And along came Which One Doesn't Belong? as a shapes book. So, there's a square and a rectangle on the same page. There are shapes with curvy sides and shapes with straight sides on the same page, and kids have to wrestle with or often do wrestle with: What does it mean to be a vertex or a corner? A lot of really rich ideas can come out of some well-chosen, simple examples. I chose to do it in the field of geometry, but there are lots of other mathematical objects as well as nonmathematical objects you could apply the same mathematical thinking to.  Mike: So, I think you have implicitly answered the question that I'm going to ask. If you were to say at the broadest level, regardless of whether you're using shapes, numbers, images—whatever the content is that an educator selects to put into the 2-by-2, that is structurally the way that Which one doesn't belong? is set up—what's it good for? What should a teacher think about in terms of “This will help me or will help my students…,” fill in the blank. How do you think about the value that comes out of this Which one doesn't belong? structure and experience?  Christopher: Multidimensional for me. I don't know if I'll remember to say all of the dimensions, so I'll just try to mention a couple that I think are important.  One is that I'm going to make you a promise that whatever mathematical ideas you bring to this classroom during this routine are going to be valued. The measure of what's right, what counts as a right answer here, is going to be what's true—not what I thought of when I was setting up this set. I think there is a lot of power in making that promise and then in holding that promise. It is really, really easy—all of us have been there as teachers—[to] make an instructional promise to kids, [but] then there comes a time where it either inadvertently or we make a decision to break that promise. I think there's a lot of costs to that. I know from my own experience as a learner, from my own experiences as a teacher, that there can be a high cost to that. So valuing ideas, I think this is a space. I love having Which one doesn't belong? as a time that we can set aside for the measure of “what's right is what's true.” So, when children are making claims about this one in the upper right doesn't belong, I want you to for a moment try to think like that person, even if you disagree that that's important. And so, teachers have to play that role also.  Where that comes up a lot is in, especially when I'm talking with adults, if I'm talking to parents about Which one doesn't belong?, often parents who don't identify as math people or who explicitly identify as nonmath people, will say, “That one in the lower left, it's not colored in. But I don't think that really counts.” In that moment, kids are less likely to make that apology, but adults will make that apology all the time. And in that moment, I have to both bring the adult in as a mathematical thinker but also model for them: What does it look like when their kid chooses something that the parent doesn't think counts? So, for me, the real thing that Which one doesn't belong? is doing is teaching children, giving children practice and expertise—therefore learning—about a particular mathematical practice, which is abstraction. That when we look at these sets of shapes, there are lots of properties. And so, we have to for a moment, just think about number of sides. And if we do that, then the triangle doesn't belong because of the other four. But as soon as we shift the property and say, “Well, let's think about angle measures,” then the ways that we're going to sort those shapes, the relationships that they have with each other, changes. And that's true with all mathematical objects.  And you can do that kind of mathematical thinking with non-mathematical objects. One of my favorite Which one doesn't belong? sets is: There's a doughnut, a chocolate doughnut; there's a coffee cup, one of those speckled blue camping metal coffee cups; there's half a hamburger bun with a bunch of seeds on top; and then there is a square everything bagel. And so, as kids start thinking about that, they're like, “Well, if we're thinking about holes, the hamburger bun doesn't have a hole. If we're thinking about speckling, the chocolate doughnut isn't speckled. If we're thinking about whether it's an edible substance, the coffee cup is not edible.” And so that's that same abstraction. If we pay attention to just this one property, that forces a sort. If we pay attention to a different property, we're going to get a different sort. And that's one of the practices of mathematicians on a regular basis. So regular that often when we're doing mathematics, we don't even notice that we're doing it. We don't notice that we're asking kids to ignore all the other properties of the number 2 except for its evenness right now. If you do that, then 2 and 4 are like each other. But if we're supposed to be paying attention to primality as to a prime number, then 2 and 4 are not like each other. All mathematical objects, all mathematicians have to do that kind of sort on the objects that they're working with.  I had a college algebra class at the community college while I was working on Which One Doesn't Belong?, and so, I was test-driving this with graphs and my students. I can still see Rosalie in the middle of the room—a room full of 45 adults ranging from 17 to 52, and I'm this 45-year-old college instructor—and we have three parabolas and one absolute value function. So, a parabola is “y equals x squared.” It's that nice curving swooping thing that goes up at one end down to a nice bowl and then up again. There was one that's upside down. I think there was one pointing sideways. And then an absolute value function is the same idea, except it's two lines coming together to make a bowl, sort of a very sharp bowl, instead of being curved. And we got this lovely Which one doesn't belong?, right? So, we've got this lovely collection of them. And Rosalie, her eyebrows are getting more and more knitted as this conversation goes on. So finally, she raises her hand. I call on her, and she says, “Mr. Danielson, I get that all of these things are true about these, but which ones matter?” Which is a fabulous question that within itself holds a lot of tensions that Rosalie is used to being in math class and being told what things she's supposed to pay attention to.  And so, in some ways it's sort of disturbing to have me up there, and I get that, up there in front of the classroom valuing all these different ways of viewing these graphs because she's like, “Which one is going to matter when you ask me this question about something on an exam? Which ones matter?”  But truly, the only intellectually honest answer to her question is, “Well, it depends. Are we paying attention to direction of concavity? Then the one that's pointing sideways doesn't count.” Any one of these is, it depends on whether you're studying algebra or whether you're studying geometry or topology. And I did give her, I think—I hope—what was a satisfying answer after giving her the true but not very satisfying answer of “It depends,” which is something like, “Well, in the work we're about to do with absolute value functions, the direction that they open up and how steeply they open up are going to be the things that we're really attending to, and we're not going to be attending as much to how they are or are not like parabolas. But seeing how they have some properties in common with these parabolas is probably going to be really useful for us.  Mike: That actually makes me think of, one, a statement of what I think is really powerful about this. And then, two, a pair of questions that I think are related.  It really struck me—Rosalie's question—how different the experience of engaging with a Which one doesn't belong? is from what people have traditionally considered math tasks where there is in fact an answer, right? There's something that the teacher's like, “Yep, that's the thing.” Even if it's perhaps obscured by the task at first, ultimately, oftentimes there is a thing and a Which one doesn't belong? is a very, very different type of experience. So that really does lead me to two questions. One is: What is important to think about when you're facilitating a Which one doesn't belong? experience? And then, maybe even the better question to start with is: What's important to think about when you're planning for that experience?  Christopher: Facilitating is going to be about making a promise to kids. That measure of “what's right is what's true.” I'm interested in the various ways that you're thinking and doing all the kind of work that we discussed but now in this context of geometry, or in my case in the college algebra classroom, in the context of algebraic representations.  Planning. I have been so deeply influenced by the work of Peg Smith and her colleagues and the five practices for facilitating mathematical conversations. And in particular, I think in planning for these conversations, planning a set—when I'm deciding what shapes are going to go in the set, or how I'm going to arrange the eggs in the egg carton, or how many half avocados am I going to put on the cutting board—I'm anticipating one of those practices: What is it that kids are likely to do with this? And if I can't anticipate anything interesting that they're going to do with it, then either my imagination isn't good enough, and I better go try it out with kids or my imagination is absolutely good enough and it's just kind of a junky thing that's not going to take me anywhere, and I should abandon it. So over time, I've gotten so much better at that anticipating work because I have learned, I've become much more expert at what kids are likely to see. But I also always get surprised. In a sufficiently large group of kids, somebody will notice something or have some way of articulating differences among the shapes, even these simple shapes on the first page, that I haven't encountered before. And I get to file that away again for next time. That's learning that gets fed back into the machine, both for the next time I'm going to work with a group of kids, but also for the next time I'm sitting down to design an experience.  Mike: You have me thinking about something else, which is what closure might look like in an experience like this. Because I'm struck by the fact that there might be some really intentional choices of the items in the Which one doesn't belong? So, the four items that end up being there, [they] may be designed to drive a conversation around a set of properties or a set of relationships—and yet at the same time be open enough to allow lots of kids to be right in the things that they're noticing.  And so, if I've got a Which one doesn't belong? that kind of is intended to draw out some ideas or have kids notice some of those ideas and articulate them, what does closure look like? Because I could imagine you don't know what you're going to get necessarily from kids when you put a Which one doesn't belong? in front of them. So, how do you think about different ways that a routine or experience like this might close for a teacher and for students?  Christopher: Yeah, I think one of the best roles that a teacher can play at the end of a Which one doesn't belong? conversation is going back and summarizing the various properties that kids attended to. Because as they're being presented and maybe annotated, we're noticing them sort of one by one. And we might not have a moment to set them aside. It might take a minute for a kid to draw out their ideas about the orientation of this shape. And it might take a little bit and some clarification with another kid about how they were counting sides. They might not have great words for “sides” or “corners,” and [instead they use] gestures, and we're all trying to figure things out. And so, by the time we figured that out, we've forgotten about the orientation answer that we had before.  So I think a really powerful move, one of many that are in teachers' toolkits, is to come back and say, “All right, so we looked at these four shapes, and what we noticed is that if you're paying attention to how this thing is sitting on the page, to its orientation, which direction it's pointing, then this one didn't belong, and Susie gave us that answer. And then another thing you might pay attention to, another property could be the number of sides. If you're paying attention to the number of sides the triangle doesn't belong, and we got that one from Brent, right?” And so run through some of the various properties.  Also, noticing along the way that there were two reasons to pick the triangle as the one that doesn't belong. It might be the sides, and it might be, you might have some other reason for picking it that isn't the number of sides. For kindergartners, the number of corners, or vertices, and the number of sides are not yet obviously the same as each other. So, for a lot of kindergartners that feels like two answers rather than one. Older audiences are more likely to know that that's going to be the same.  So yeah, I think that being able to come back and state succinctly after we've had this conversation—valuing each of the contributions that came along, but also being able to compare them, maybe we're writing them down as part of our annotation. There might be other ways that we do that. But I think summarizing so that we can look at this set of ideas that's been brought out altogether, I think is a really powerful way.  One other quick thing about designing, which is—I hear this a lot from teachers, they're saying, “OK, so we're studying quadrilaterals. So, I made a Which one doesn't belong? with four quadrilaterals. And nobody noticed that they were all quadrilaterals.” To which I say, “They didn't notice because you didn't contrast that property.” So, if there's a property you want to bring out, you better make sure, I think, that you have three things that have it and one that doesn't. Or vice versa—three that don't, and one that does—because then that's a thing for kids to notice. They're not going to notice what they all have in common because that's not the task we're asking them. So, if you want to make one about quadrilaterals, throw a pentagon in there.  Mike: Love it.  So, the question that I typically will ask any guest before the close of the interview is, what are some resources that educators might grab onto, be they yours or other work in the field that you think is really powerful, that supports the kind of work that we've been talking about? What would you offer to someone who's interested in continuing to learn and maybe to try this out?  Christopher: So, we've referred to number talks. “Dot talks” and “number talks,” those are both phrases that can be googled. There are three books, Which One Doesn't Belong?, How Many?, How Did You Count?—all published by Stenhouse, all available as a hardcover book, hardcover student book, or home picture book.  Mike: So, for listeners, just so you know, we're going to add links to the resources that Christopher referred to in all of our show notes for folks' convenience.  Christopher, I think this is probably a good place to stop. Thank you so much for joining us. It's absolutely been a pleasure chatting with you.  Christopher: Yeah, thank you for the invitation, for your thoughtful prep work, and support of both the small and the larger projects along the way. I appreciate that. I appreciate all of you at Bridges and The Math Learning Center. You do fabulous work.  Mike: This concludes part one of our discussion with Christopher Danielson. Christopher is going to join us again later this season, where we'll have a conversation about the nature of counting and how an expanded definition of counting might help support students later in their mathematical journey. I hope that you'll join us for this conversation.    This podcast is brought to you by The Math Learning Center and the Maier Math Foundation, dedicated to inspiring and enabling all individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability. © 2025 The Math Learning Center | www.mathlearningcenter.org  

Dr. Casey Grover explores the challenging world of benzodiazepines, explaining why these commonly prescribed medications can create more problems than they solve for patients struggling with anxiety and other conditions.• Benzodiazepines work like alcohol in pill form, enhancing the brain's natural "downer" chemical GABA• Long-term use leads to tolerance, dependence, and potentially Benzodiazepine-Induced Neurological Dysfunction (BIND)• The four most commonly prescribed benzos are diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin), and alprazolam (Xanax)• Benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures months after the last dose, making it particularly dangerous• Unlike opioid addiction, there are no specialized medications to treat benzodiazepine addiction• Tapering from benzodiazepines is extremely challenging, often taking months or years with patients experiencing severe rebound symptoms• Modern medical understanding now recognizes benzos as inappropriate for long-term anxiety treatment• Case studies demonstrate how patients prescribed benzos for anxiety often never learn proper coping skills and suffer increasingly worse symptomsThanks for listening and remember treating addiction saves lives.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

In this conversation, John chats with Giggle for Girls founder Sall Grover about her recent high-stakes Federal Court appeal concerning the right to operate a women-only social networking app. Grover warns that without clear sex-based protections, women's rights to privacy, safety, and dignity in public and private spaces risk being dismantled.The conversation explains why the ruling will not merely have ramifications for women's rights, but the fundamental freedoms of belief, association, and speech — principles essential to a free and democratic society. Grover also highlights the political reluctance to confront the issue, and the double standards of many Australian media outlets that have remained conspicuously silent in coverage of the case.Sall Grover is the founder and CEO of Giggle, a female-only social networking app launched in 2020 to provide a secure platform for women to connect, collaborate, and support one another. Giggle has been at the centre of the recent landmark Federal Court case Tickle v Giggle, which tested the application of Australia's Sex Discrimination Act to women-only spaces.
