Cult Season rumbles on as Chris and Matt expand their minds in an attempt to absorb the cosmic insights of spiritual influencer and alleged cult leader Teal Swan (born Mary Teal Bosworth, 1984). Our intrepid hosts explore her recent appearance on the Just Tap In podcast with Emilio “starchild” Ortiz — a beanie-wearing vessel of pure credulity, lobbing softball metaphysical questions gently into the astral winds.The topic covered is ostensibly “Major 2026 Predictions” but this is really just an entry point for discussion of the ancient origins of AI, multiversal astral contract negotiations, and, of course, the urgent need to discuss masculinity before we spiritually implode.You will learn insights, such as: how AI will eliminate ageing, guide us to SOURCE, amplify our shadow, and corrupt and deceive us ... all at once. Aliens and other cosmic beings are deeply concerned with and also not really all that bothered with humanity. Also, pop stars are apparently set to receive divine instructions to stabilise the collective psyche in 2026. And how we are all trapped in a planetary pressure cooker that will run at least until 2030. Teal is trying not to scare us, but it doesn't look great (though it might also be great and lead to utopia).Expect astral board meetings, sensemaking redefinitions of “power” and “love”, warnings about the painful sacrifices required to join Teal's “conscious community”, and some distinctly uncomfortable talk about opening gates and reframing mother–son dynamics. As ever, Matt and Chris attempt to decode the elevated vagueness, semantic gliding, and cosmic scaling of very earthly anxieties.All hail SOURCE!Decoding ContentJust Tap In Podcast #260: "Teal Swan – Why 2026 Is a Psychological & Relational Tipping Point for Humanity"LinksThe Gateway (Gizmodo Podcast, 2018) - Six-part investigative series by Jennings BrownThe Deep End (Freeform/Hulu, 2022) - Four-part docuseries by Jon KasbeMormon Stories #1607: Growing Up with Teal Swan - Diana Hansen Ribera - Interview with Teal's childhood best friendMormon Stories #1328-1331: Leaving Mormonism to Join Teal Swan's Cult - Jared DobsonBBC- Teal Swan: The woman encouraging her followers to visualise deathScam Goddess: The Culty Con of Teal Swan w/ Sarah Marshall
In this conversation, Jonathan Tepper discusses his memoir 'Shooting Up,' which explores his childhood experiences growing up in a drug rehab center in Madrid, the impact of addiction and HIV on his community, and the personal loss he faced with the tragic death of his brother.

Sarah Wayne Callies sits down to talk about her childhood, her path into acting, and what led to her being cast as Dr. Sara Tancredi on Prison Break. She opens up about the sudden fame that came with the show, how she prepared for the role by visiting real prisons, and how filming Prison Break permanently changed her perspective on incarceration and the criminal justice system. Sarah also shares behind-the-scenes stories from set, the emotional weight of playing a character inside prison walls, and how that experience later influenced her work, including being cast on The Walking Dead. _____________________________________________ #SarahWayneCallies #PrisonBreak #SaraTancredi #TVInterviews #BehindTheScenes #HollywoodStories #ActingCareer #youtubepodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Sarah Wayne Callies: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahwaynecallies/?hl=en Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6Syro1Uk5qZ-mf_q4v6lQ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Filming Prison Break Inside a Real Prison 01:00 Career Growth, Podcasting & Season 3 Absence 03:50 Fan Reactions and Returning to Prison Break 05:30 On-Screen Chemistry and Cast Behind-the-Scenes Stories 07:20 Growing Up in Hawaii and Cultural Identity 10:30 Storytelling, Inspiration, and Gender Perspectives 14:00 College Dreams and Discovering the Power of Story 17:00 Theater, Family Influence, and Why Stories Matter 21:30 Dartmouth College, Culture Shock, and Life Lessons 25:00 Marriage, Early Career, and Connecting With Fans 28:00 Watching TV in Prison and Prison Break Reactions 33:00 Expectations vs Reality of Prison Life 36:00 Rehabilitation, Humanity, and the Impact of Incarceration 40:00 Private Prisons, For-Profit Systems, and Policy Shifts 44:00 Prison Camps, Fire Programs, and Second Chances 47:00 Reentry, Halfway Houses, and Breaking the Cycle 52:00 Finding Work After Prison and Systemic Barriers 55:00 Public Perception, Compassion, and Moral Complexity 01:01:00 Visiting a Real Prison and Humanizing Incarceration 01:10:00 Casting Stories and Sara Tancredi's Evolution 01:18:00 Fandom, Privacy, and Life in the Spotlight 01:23:00 Fame, Pressure, and Public Scrutiny 01:30:00 Acting Challenges and Favorite Prison Break Moments 01:36:00 Transitioning to The Walking Dead and Set Culture 01:44:00 COVID, Resetting Priorities, and Family Focus 01:48:00 Reflection, Accountability, and Making Amends 01:55:00 Giving Back, Extreme Empathy, and Advocacy 01:58:00 Hospice Work, Prison Reform, and Ongoing Mission 02:00:00 Final Reflections and Gratitude Learn more about your ad choices.

Overcoming Trauma and Healing: A Journey from Communist Romania to Empowerment In this episode of the 'Get Obsessed' podcast, host Mika Altidor interviews Simone Gisondi, host of the 'Health Confidential' podcast. Simone shares her compelling story of growing up in a physically and emotionally abusive environment in communist Romania, where she had to navigate scarcity and oppression. She recounts her father's escape to Canada, subsequently reuniting the family in a new country where they faced additional challenges of integration and survival. Simone's narrative delves into the lasting impacts on her nervous system and overall health, which resulted in a major stroke at the age of 35. Her journey of recovery and understanding the deep connection between stored trauma and physical health sparked the creation of her podcast, aimed at helping others on similar journeys. Simone's discussion also highlights the importance of emotional health, regulated nervous systems, and the profound influence of relationships on self-worth. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:52 Simone's Early Life and Childhood Trauma 03:42 Growing Up in Communist Romania 12:58 Immigrating to Canada 17:40 Impact of Trauma on Health 25:45 Healing and Self-Worth 27:56 Conclusion and Final Thoughts You can find Simone on all her platforms and website here at: https://linktr.ee/simone.gisondi Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two Americans are dead after an ICE protest turned violent — and nobody seems interested in asking the uncomfortable questions.In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I talk honestly about what really happened at the ICE protest, how the media is framing the shooting, and why our political climate keeps turning real people into collateral damage. I'm not here to defend institutions or score ideological points. I'm here to talk about what happens when outrage culture, media narratives, and moral tribalism collide with real-world consequences.As a former army medic and paramedic, I've seen what violence actually looks like. I've watched people die. I've stood in the aftermath of chaos that started with words, rhetoric, and bad decisions. That's why the way this story is being handled matters — and why pretending this is just another political talking point is dangerous.We talk about:The ICE protest shooting and what the headlines aren't sayingHow media framing shapes public outrage and misinformationWhy political polarization keeps getting people killedThe real-world consequences of ideological activismGun violence, law enforcement, and institutional trustWhy nobody wants to ask who benefits when protests turn deadlyThis isn't a hot take.It's a hard conversation about accountability, truth, and the cost of pretending that violence only counts when it fits your narrative.If you're a first responder, veteran, nurse, therapist, teacher, writer, or just someone who's tired of being lied to by the media and politicians on all sides — this episode is for you.ICE protest shooting, ICE news today, law enforcement shooting, political violence in America, media bias, gun violence, protest violence, political polarization, veteran commentary, paramedic perspective, real world politics, American politics today, institutional trust, culture war consequencesUnwritten Chapters with Matthew Heneghan is a raw, solo channel about life after trauma, modern culture, and the quiet parts nobody says out loud.Hosted by a veteran, former army medic, ex-paramedic, and nonfiction author, the channel explores PTSD, addiction recovery, sobriety, grief, burnout, and identity — not as inspirational slogans, but as lived reality.Alongside the recovery lens, Unwritten Chapters dissects modern culture, politics, media narratives, nostalgia, and social decay through a grounded, lived-experience perspective.There are also behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, creativity, addiction and art, discipline, publishing, and what it's actually like to build a life and career after rock bottom.This isn't a polished self-help channel. It's dark humour, blunt honesty, cultural commentary, and real mental health talk for people who are empathetic but exhausted — veterans, first responders, nurses, partners of medics, folks in or around recovery, and anyone trauma-literate and allergic to bullshit.If you're searching for PTSD stories, addiction recovery, veteran mental health, first responder burnout, cultural commentary, reaction videos with lived experience, or honest conversations about writing and creativity — you're in the right place.New videos weekly.Subscribe if you want company in the chaos, not clichés about positive vibes only.

In this episode, Chuck Todd breaks down a rapidly shifting 2026 political landscape beginning with Susan Collins’ decision to seek re-election in what could become the toughest race of her career, a contest that may prove pivotal in a potentially tied Senate where Democrats could even attempt to court Lisa Murkowski. Chuck explores how Collins’ choice reshapes the map, why an open Maine seat would have favored Democrats, and how outsider candidates like Graham Platner may challenge both party establishments. The conversation widens to key battleground developments in Texas and Florida, including Alexander Vindman’s Senate bid and the risks of divisive primaries, while Republicans face mounting structural challenges and a slipping grip on the House. Chuck also examines why Democrats are expanding their target map, what could still derail a major Democratic wave, and the intensifying fight over voting legislation like the SAVE Act—arguing that partisan “poison pills” have deepened gridlock and made meaningful compromise in Washington increasingly rare. Then, Chuck sits down with John Conyers III to discuss his deeply personal memoir "My Father's House." Far from a typical political biography, this book offers a raw, unflinching look at what it's like to grow up as the son of legendary civil rights congressman John Conyers Jr.—inheriting a legacy you never chose and navigating between worlds of poverty and power. John opens up about the family betrayal that triggered his father's 2017 resignation, the complicated truth about Rosa Parks' final years, and his own journey from the music industry to confronting his predetermined path. This isn't hagiography or exposé—it's a son trying to understand how a public giant could be both indispensable to a movement and deeply flawed in private. The conversation ranges from the intimate—John's anger at having expectations placed on him, his career as a songwriter and producer—to broader questions about how we reckon with complicated heroes, from his father to MLK to LeBron James. Todd and Conyers explore Detroit's cultural legacy, the emotional toll of creative work, and what it means to accept the full humanity of the figures we elevate. It's a fascinating discussion about legacy, identity, and the cost of living in a house built by history, featuring unexpected detours into NBA debates and why Detroit will always be a cultural exporter, not an importer. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 crazy things that used to be LEGAL in politics and a bonus Top 5 list of things that shouldn’t be.

Legend Tarver went from graduating with a degree to serving time in federal prison, learning the hard way how choices, survival, and consequence intersect in the criminal justice system. Two weeks into his sentence, he found out his then-girlfriend, Amanda, was pregnant, and the couple endured separation, hardship, and the challenges of incarceration while growing their family. Drawing strength from the more than 300 handwritten letters they exchanged behind bars, Legend and Amanda turned their experience into purpose by co-founding 300 Letters, a nonprofit dedicated to treating incarceration as a family affair and helping justice-impacted families heal, stay connected, and rebuild after prison. In this episode, Legend opens up about how he ended up in prison, how that time shaped his life and fatherhood, and how he's working now to change the narrative for others who've faced similar struggles. _____________________________________________ #FederalPrison #PrisonStory #FormerInmate #PrisonLife #TrueCrimePodcast #LifeAfterPrison #InmateStories #lockedinwithianbick _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Connect with Legend Tarver: Website: https://300letters.org/ Instagram & Tiktok: @IAMLEGENDFITNESS @300LETTERS @TRUTHBYAMANDA _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From College to Federal Prison 01:04 Growing Up in Miami & Family Struggles 05:11 Childhood Trauma & Single-Parent Upbringing 13:13 Early Hustles: School, Work & Selling Drugs 17:42 Generational Influence & Entering Drug Trafficking 21:39 High School Drug Sales & Avoiding Police 24:38 First Arrest & College Dreams Falling Apart 28:36 Meeting Amanda & Escalating Drug Operations 32:43 Deep in the Game: Paranoia, Expansion & Molly Trafficking 39:39 The Setup: Law Changes, Surveillance & Arrest 43:39 Amanda's Role & Facing Federal Charges 48:34 Federal Indictment, Legal Battles & Family Impact 52:59 Pregnancy, Prison & Holding Relationships Together 01:00:57 Life in Federal Prison: Survival, Fitness & Brotherhood 01:09:11 Prison Realizations: Regret, Accountability & Change 01:13:37 Release, Reinvention & Founding 300 Letters 01:17:32 Reentry, Advocacy & Helping Incarcerated Families 01:23:32 Fatherhood, Breaking Cycles & Life After Prison 01:27:01 Final Reflections & Moving Forward Learn more about your ad choices.

What if we don't know what to do with broken hearts the way we know what to do with broken bones? In this episode, Jeanne Foot shares how she helps individuals and families navigate mental health, addiction, and trauma recovery through The Recovery Concierge. Jeanne is the founder of this boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency that provides innovative concierge services tailored to unique needs of individuals, families, and the entertainment industry. With a focus on mental health and addiction recovery, her team's holistic approach encompasses assessments, counseling, and continuous support, ensuring a comprehensive pathway to sustainable recovery. Her journey into this work wasn't by choice - it chose her. Growing up in 1960s London with childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and the death of her baby sister, Jeanne fell into substances at a young age as her only tool for emotional regulation. After getting sober and spending seven years frozen in emotional pain, she had an epiphany: no one's coming to save you. She dove into everything from peak performance to trauma healing, creating the proprietary method she uses today with clients. Jeanne reveals two relationships that transformed her: her father, who mentored her in the family insurance business in her early twenties when she didn't want to go to university, teaching her that sales is about guiding people through a process (not coercing them), that you win on price but lose on price, and instilling values of ethics, integrity, kindness, vulnerability, and transparency that shape everything she stands for today and carry through to their third-generation family business; and Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto with over 10,000 employees, a brilliant psychiatrist who gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanting to learn from lived experience rather than taking a top-down approach, asking Jeanne to chair a grassroots pilot program in 2012 that has now served thousands of families and become a leader in the industry both nationally and internationally, and who admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" when others would hide that they don't know what to do. [00:04:20] Founder of The Recovery Concierge Boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency Matches people to right services and bespoke treatment plans Uses invitational, compassionate, non-stigmatizing approach to intervention Been doing this work 30 years informally, 15 years professionally [00:05:40] Growing Up in 1960s London "Children should be seen and not heard" environment in middle class family Baby sister died when Jeanne was four years old Stepbrother sexually abused her, grew up with tremendous trauma Fell into substances at very young age as only coping mechanism [00:06:40] The Critical Juncture: Seven Years Sober Seven years into sobriety, thought "if this is all my life's gonna be, I don't want any part" Frozen in her body, life picture perfect on outside but empty inside In so much emotional pain despite having everything externally [00:07:20] The Epiphany: No One's Coming to Save You Had an epiphany: "There's no one who's coming to save you. You better figure this out yourself" Dove into everything: peak performance, emotional healing, trauma, addiction, mental health Created proprietary method mixing optimal tools that became foundation for her work [00:08:20] Her Children: The Catalyst for Change Children became more important to her than herself Wanted to do things differently than her family had done Made sacrifices in her early thirties (early 1990s) to choose them [00:09:40] The Volunteer Visit That Changed Everything Looking for place to volunteer, wanted to be of service and reduce suffering Someone pointed her to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto Had no idea what she was doing, just felt she wanted to help [00:10:00] The Town Hall Meeting with Dr. Anthony Levitt Met Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital (10,000+ employees) He was examining why parents were taking children to US for mental health treatment Parents shared their stories, Dr. Levitt said: "We're gonna do something about this right now" [00:10:40] Building the Plane While Flying It Dr. Levitt asked Jeanne to chair the pilot program Lived experience informed program with clinical expertise Did everything: secured philanthropy funding, hired people, visited every stakeholder, defined metrics [00:11:20] He Gave Us Agency Dr. Levitt gave them agency despite being brilliant psychiatrist Felt he could learn from people who had been in trenches and failed by system Jeanne worked across from him 30 hours a week for free because so in love with the work [00:13:00] We Don't Know What to Do with Broken Hearts Know what to do with broken hearts (cardiology) or broken bones Don't know what to do with broken hearts (emotional)—very nuanced, non-prescriptive process Need to meet client where they're at, not use top-down approach [00:14:20] Rapport Is Number One Indicator of Success Rapport is #1 indicator of success, not therapeutic expertise If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere Client from 40 years ago still calling because of implicit trust: "I've got my people" [00:16:00] Learning from Her Father First person who changed her life was her father His ethics, sense of humor, values shaped who she became Father was fantastic mentor when she joined family insurance business in 1980s [00:17:00] Sales Is About Guiding People in a Process Father taught her sales is about guiding people, not coercing them Showing them a process: either they want it or they don't He taught her about ethics—have to have benchmark of morality in business [00:19:20] Third Generation of Client Relationships Into third generation with client acquisitions in insurance business Values come from within structure of family and organization Clients saying: "We've been dealing with these people for long time, continue that" Father's lesson: "You win on price, you lose on price" [00:22:40] Dr. Anthony Levitt: Beautiful Humility Gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanted to learn from them Admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" instead of defending system Such beautiful humility about him wanting to learn [00:23:40] Grassroots Organization Still Going Strong Since 2012 Built organization that's served thousands of families Has funding, clinical research, evidence-based outcomes Leaders not just nationally but internationally with this model of care Dr. Levitt's philosophy: "The government leads by following" [00:25:20] Lives Saved Through Being There Been in situations where had she not been there in right moment, person wouldn't be here today Meets people in their darkest moments, sometimes requires heavy lifting Testimonials from family members: "You literally saved my daughter's life" [00:26:20] Compassionate Persistence Everyone does it in their own timeline, have to respect that Not top-down authoritarian approach—some people need more time "Compassionate persistence": stay with them until they get what they need [00:28:20] Triggers Are Learning Opportunities Closer relationships trigger us most, but triggers can be good thing Learning opportunities to do better, show up differently People we love most can be most challenging, but they're opportunities for beautiful learning [00:28:40] 100% Personal Responsibility Have to take 100% responsibility, each of us—no 50/50 When we take personal responsibility, we put control in our hands We build walls to protect our hearts, but can't let anything good in either Being seen, validated, heard for what we need is important part of healing KEY QUOTES "We know what to do with broken hearts in cardiology, but we don't know what to do with broken hearts." - Jeanne Foot "Rapport is the number one indicator of success. People think it's therapeutic expertise—it's not. If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere." - Jeanne Foot "Triggers can be a good thing. They can be learning opportunities for us to do better, to show up differently. We all have blind spots, and the people we love the most sometimes can be the most challenging in our relationships." - Jeanne Foot CONNECT WITH JEANNE FOOT

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Do Ouija boards hold power on their own, or do they only become something more when we engage with them? For Chris Garcia, the question of connection goes far deeper than any single tool.Chris's relationship with the unseen began at the age of five, when he first became aware of his spirit guides. That early sensitivity never faded. Instead, it quietly shaped the course of his life, influencing his choices and eventually leading him to help others recognize and communicate with their own guides and loved ones beyond the physical world.Rather than focusing on fear or spectacle, this conversation explores the role of spirit guides, how communication with them works, and why intention matters far more than objects like Ouija boards. Chris offers a grounded perspective on spiritual connection—one rooted in awareness, responsibility, and understanding.Whether you approach the subject with skepticism or belief, this discussion challenges common assumptions about what opens the door to the other side, and whether guidance may already be present in ways we don't fully recognize.#TheGraveTalks #SpiritGuides #OuijaBoard #ParanormalPodcast #LifeBeyondDeath #SpiritualAwakening #Mediumship #UnseenWorld #AfterlifeExploration Love real ghost stories?

What separates people who last from those who fade out?14-year NFL veteran Kelvin Beachum joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about longevity, discipline, faith, and what it really takes to keep showing up when motivation fades.Kelvin reflects on the principles that have shaped his life on and off the field — from growing up in a small Texas town to becoming one of the longest-tenured offensive linemen in the NFL. He explains why willingness matters more than talent, why falling in love with the mundane is essential for sustained success, and how delayed gratification compounds over time.The conversation explores everything from training and recovery after 35, to faith as a daily practice, to financial discipline, mentorship, and preparing for life after football. Kelvin also shares how his understanding of “why” has evolved — from proving himself as a seventh-round draft pick to serving others, mentoring younger players, and building a future beyond the game.Let's call it a masterclass in consistency, humility, and doing the unglamorous work that most people avoid — and why that work is often the true common denominator of meaningful success.In This Episode, You'll Learn- Why willingness often matters more than talent- How falling in love with the mundane creates long-term success- The role delayed gratification plays in building a lasting career- Why showing up consistently compounds over time- How Kelvin adapted training, recovery, and rest as he aged in the NFL- Why faith became central to his ability to endure and perform- How financial discipline protects athletes after their playing days end- What mentorship looks like later in a career- How Kelvin is preparing for life after football through private equity and global investing- Why curiosity may be one of the most underrated drivers of growthTimestamps: 0:00 Introduction03:46 – The Power of Showing Up & Valuing Time05:18 – Family Influence: Grandfather, Father & Faith07:16 – Small-Town Roots & Growing Up with Sports10:02 – NFL Career Longevity Explained11:26 – The X-Factor: Loving the Mundane13:35 – Motivation, Delayed Gratification & Competing with Yourself16:44 – Defying Labels & Breaking Stereotypes18:11 – Training at 36: Recovery Over Ego21:27 – Sleep, Recovery & Non-Negotiables23:08 – Faith as a Foundation25:59 – Financial Discipline in the NFL29:12 – Long-Term Wealth, Trusts & Legacy Planning31:21 – Mentoring Younger Players33:27 – Life After Football35:49 – Staying Humble & Always Learning37:02 – Walter Payton Man of the Year Award38:07 – The True Common Denominator38:55 – Final Reflections & Gratitude39:09 – Kelvin's Big Adventure & Staying Curious40:40 – Final Thanks & Sign-OffLike this episode?

Daniel Sloss is a comedian, author, and father. From a 17-year-old at Edinburgh's Stand Comedy Club to causing 100,000 breakups worldwide, Daniel Sloss shares the moments that nearly broke him, and ultimately transformed him, on his journey to becoming one of comedy's most authentic voices.In this episode, Daniel takes us inside the make-or-break moments behind his career, including the night his Netflix specials dropped and he sat reading 3,000 DMs on ecstasy, the devastating spiral of drinking 3/4 bottle of whiskey on stage every night during his global tour, and the moment his wife told him to go back on the road because staying home was driving them both mad.He reveals how his parents drove him to gigs as a teenager and learned he'd lost his virginity by watching his set, why refusing to move to London's "clicky bullshit" scene was the best decision he made, and how Eddie Izzard convinced him to tour Europe when he thought nobody would understand his comedy.Daniel also reflects on the bold move that defined his career - being the only UK comedian to speak out when everyone else stepped back - the price of doing the right thing, and the bittersweet reality of achieving global fame while hating himself at the peak of success.This is a candid conversation about Robot Wars, imposter syndrome, becoming a father, grief, comedy as truth-telling, and why "I'm Daniel and Dad now" matters more than any sold-out show.

Steven Johnson grew up in Connecticut surrounded by instability and a rough childhood that pushed him toward the streets at a young age. As a teenager, he joined the Latin Kings and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a chapter president before landing in Connecticut state prison. While serving time in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Steven made a decision that could have cost him his life — walking away from the gang while still incarcerated. In this episode, he shares what prison was really like during that era, how he survived the consequences of leaving the Kings behind bars, and how that choice completely changed the course of his life. After his release, Steven never looked back, building a new path rooted in discipline, accountability, and staying out of the system for good. _____________________________________________ #LatinKings #PrisonStories #GangLife #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystem #RedemptionStory #lockedin _____________________________________________ Than you to AVA & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: AVA: Take control of your credit today.

Her near-death experience transformed a childhood marked by extreme trauma into a life devoted to healing. Susan had a childhood that most people can't imagine surviving. But she's transformed unimaginable pain into a life of powerful healing.

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, Matthew Heneghan — former Canadian Armed Forces medic, civilian paramedic, recovering alcoholic, and author — delivers a raw, unfiltered response to Donald Trump's recent NATO comments and his claim that allied troops “stayed a little back from the front lines” in Afghanistan. As a veteran who served during wartime and lost friends in the conflict, Matthew breaks down why Trump's remarks are not just wrong — they're historically inaccurate, deeply disrespectful, and damaging to NATO alliances, Canadian veterans, and the truth about the war in Afghanistan.This is not a partisan rant. It's a frontline perspective from someone who lived it.Topics covered in this episode:Donald Trump NATO comments reactionCanada Afghanistan war factsCanadian Armed Forces in AfghanistanNATO allies and frontline combatVeterans mental health and trauma War history and political rhetoric PTSD, grief, and moral injury Life after military service Veteran perspective on politics Unwritten Chapters podcast Matthew also shares deeply personal stories about Canadian soldiers who died on the front lines, the cost of war that never shows up in speeches, and why political leaders rewriting history matters — especially to veterans, first responders, and anyone who still gives a damn about truth.If you're a veteran, first responder, military family member, or someone who's tired of sanitized political narratives and empty rhetoric, this episode is for you.Unwritten Chapters is a solo storytelling podcast where a former army medic and paramedic turned author talks honestly about:Mental healthAddiction and recoveryPTSD and traumaReal world events and politicsWriting, publishing, and setbacksLife after rock bottomNo filters.

A few years ago, Shabaz Ali was a chemistry teacher in Blackburn. Today, he's one of the internet's most beloved creators, best known as Shabaz Says, with millions of fans and a knack for skewering the most outrageous (and often tasteless) displays of online excess. Since quitting the day job, Shabaz has launched a podcast, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and published his book I'm Rich, You're Poor. Beneath the humour though, there's always been something more serious at play: a sharp commentary on the psychological erosion that comes from spending too much of our lives online. In this episode, we talk about Shabaz's upbringing, being bullied at school, how his taxi-driver Dad didn't even realise his son was famous until recently and why no-one should ever spend £10,000 on an outfit. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:03 The Impact of Social Media on Youth 05:14 Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Success 10:53 Embracing Authenticity and Overcoming Criticism 12:46 Growing Up in Blackburn 15:45 Challenges of Intersectional Identity 22:36 Family Perspectives and Cultural Expectations 24:04 Struggles with Poverty 25:20 Empathy 30:15 From Teacher to Social Media Star 31:24 Unexpected Career in the Hospital Morgue 33:38 Finding Viral Success Online 37:16 Representation and Finding Your Voice

Paris Chong sits down with her good friend, the multi-talented Ray Barbee, to discuss his new book, “The Joy is Capturing the Journey.” Ray, renowned for his legendary career as a professional skateboarder and a gifted photographer, explains how the book's title reflects his passion for documenting his blessed life and the sheer fun he finds in the process, from shooting to printing in the darkroom. The conversation also touches on his enduring career in skateboarding, including his long-standing sponsorships with brands like Vans and Crooked Skateboards, and a look back at his most significant skateboarding injury—a broken scaphoid bone that kept his wrist in a cast for nine months.Ray shares details about his family and musical roots, noting that his two sons are both skateboarders, with Max recently earning a full-ride football scholarship. He recalls growing up with jazz and soul music in the house, thanks to his parents, but notes that MTV introduced him to rock and roll, sparking his desire to play guitar. He shares a charming story of performing an air-broom guitar solo to AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" at a fifth-grade talent show. This early passion for music, combined with a fortuitous gift of an old-school skateboard, laid the foundation for his professional life.The discussion highlights the beautiful connection between Ray's skateboarding and photography styles, describing both as an improvisational act of "documenting moments" and "being surprised by something and hitting it... in the moment." An accomplished musician as well, Ray discusses how technology allows him to be a "one-man band" using a pedal to turn his guitar into a bass. Wrapping up, he mentions his newly released EP, “Little Postcard,” and his upcoming plans to support both the book and the album with a photo exhibition and performance at the Moments Festival in Spain. Ray attributes his famously cheerful demeanor to his faith, quoting the proverb, "A happy heart makes the face cheerful," and expressing deep gratitude for his journey.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/ray-barbee-on-skateboarding-photography-and-a-life-of-gratitudeChapters:00:00 Intro00:34 Meet Ray Barbie: Skateboarder and Photographer00:46 Ray Barbie's New Book02:33 The Joy of Skateboarding05:16 Family and Parenting08:08 Growing Up with Music18:48 Discovering Skateboarding24:43 From Skateboarding to Street Photography25:50 The Parallels Between Music and Photography26:17 Skateboarding and Rhythm26:59 Desiree and Photography27:36 Transitioning to Podcasts30:37 Faith and Spirituality38:29 Seeking Truth and Finding Peace48:44 Upcoming Projects and Travels51:19 Conclusion and Farewell

Which isn't surprising, as our guest is Antony Penrose, the son of the celebrated photographer and model Lee Miller and the Surrealist artist, writer and historian Sir Roland Penrose.Antony tells Gyles about his mother, Lee Miller: how she was discovered on the streets of Manhattan and became one of the supermodels of the 1930s, trained as a photographer, and then moved to Paris to become a student and muse of the photographer Man Ray. He describes her independent spirit, her adventurous love life, and her first marriage to the Egyptian businessman Aziz Eloui Bey. He talks about Lee's life in Cairo, her second marriage to Roland Penrose, and her extraordinary war years, when she used her camera to take fearless and unforgettable pictures of the aftermath of WW2. Antony talks about his mother's descent into alcoholism and his own chequered relationship with her, and their eventual reconciliation. This really is one of the most brilliant interviews we've ever recorded for Rosebud and is well worth your time.A brilliant exhibition of Lee Miller's work is currently showing at Tate Britain in London until February 15. Kate Winslet's film Lee, which is discussed by Antony and Gyles, is also well worth watching. Antony Penrose's book The Lives of Lee Miller is fascinating and is available here.

Mike Schrand has spent more than 30 years at St. Louis Public Radio — and his story is a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and community. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Mike joins Logan Janis for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from overnight jazz shifts and Morning Edition to songwriting, cult movies, and why St. Louis is “the world's largest small town.” We talk about the evolution of public radio, nonprofit journalism, and why live, local storytelling still matters in an on-demand world. Mike also opens up about his life as a musician — including his solo albums Late Bloomer and Things Have Changed — plus the role art plays in identity, family, and aging creatively. Along the way, we dig into movie history filmed right here in St. Louis (Escape from New York), James Gunn stories, NPR programming, and what it really means to serve a community through sound.
So many of us confuse codependency with love—believing that fixing, managing, or rescuing others is the way to feel safe and connected. But what if that "care" is really control in disguise? In part one of this three part series, Justin and Abi get personal about how childhood instability, unprocessed grief, and toxic empathy shaped their patterns of over-responsibility. They unpack how codependency forms as a survival strategy, why hyper-vigilance can feel like compassion, and the hidden cost of carrying emotions that aren't yours. From childhood memories to marriage struggles, they share what it took to untangle those dynamics and begin choosing connection without control. If you've ever felt exhausted from fixing everyone else, wondered why you can't stay out of someone's emotions, or longed for healthier boundaries, this conversation is for you!

Andrew Gautreau grew up in a good family in Louisiana, but addiction took hold in his teenage years and quickly sent his life off the rails. After finishing trade school, he began getting arrested for drug offenses — yet somehow still landed a job as a prison guard, training for a month at Angola, one of the most notorious prisons in America. His time on the job lasted just six months before he quit right before being fired, all while being arrested twice for drug charges outside the prison. As his addiction spiraled further, Andrew ended up cycling through local jails and a correctional work facility, where he spent nearly two years behind bars. In this episode, he opens up about addiction, hypocrisy inside the justice system, life on both sides of the bars, and how he ultimately turned everything around and got sober. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #AddictionRecovery #CorruptPrisonGuard #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #AngolaPrison #FormerInmate #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: LUCY: Go to HTTP://LUCY.CO/IANBICK and use promo code IANBICK to get 20% off your first order. _____________________________________________ PRIZEPICKS: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Connect with Andrew Gautreau: https://tattedbadclothing.myshopify.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Addiction to Prison Guard: A Life on the Edge 01:00 Growing Up in Louisiana and Early Influences 08:00 Family Values, Childhood Trauma, and Identity 13:00 First Drugs, Addiction, and Losing Control 18:00 First Arrests, Criminal Charges, and Consequences 24:00 Escalation: Jail Time, Probation, and Repeat Mistakes 31:00 Becoming a Correctional Officer Against the Odds 36:00 Inside Angola Prison: Training, Reality, and Moral Conflict 42:00 Daily Life as a Prison Guard Behind the Walls 47:00 Drugs, Arrests, and Walking Away from the Job 52:00 Addiction Spirals: Crime, Chaos, and Self-Destruction 58:00 Rock Bottom: Overdoses, Homelessness, and Survival 01:03:00 Getting Sober and Rebuilding From Nothing 01:09:00 Life After Addiction: Giving Back and Helping Others 01:13:00 Lessons Learned, Redemption, and Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

Gary Dodson — better known as “Bumper” — tells the uncensored story of his transformation from a violent white supremacist skinhead and federal prison gang member to a man who ultimately walked away from hate and extremism. Raised in a chaotic, drug-filled household in rural California, Bumper gravitated toward gangs, violence, and racist ideology at a young age. What began as rebellion turned into full-blown immersion in neo-Nazi skinhead culture, leading to robberies, stabbings, riots, and eventually a federal hate-crime and arson case tied to Molotov cocktails. Bumper spent over a decade inside some of the most dangerous level-four federal prisons in the United States, including USP McCreary and USP Victorville, where racial politics, stabbings, and brutal “smash-outs” were a daily reality. In this interview, he breaks down: • How he was recruited into the skinhead movement • The inner politics of white supremacist prison gangs • The psychology behind hate, identity, and belonging • What daily life is really like in violent federal penitentiaries • How he slowly abandoned racist ideology • What finally made him choose a different path This is a raw, unfiltered look inside extremist subcultures, prison survival, and the possibility of change.
