For this Daytime Confidential Reflections special, episode 1188, Luke Kerr sits down with longtime Daytime Confidential contributor J. Bernard Jones for a straight shot of soap history, fandom and survival. J. Bernard opens up about the stroke he suffered in May and how laughing at the occasional scrambled word has helped him keep moving forward. J. Bernard remembers how he first found Daytime Confidential through the blog and became "a pure a-hole" in the comments before Jamey Giddens recruited him to write. He talks about launching J.F.Y., a glossy magazine for Black gay men that briefly thrived before collapsing with the ad market in the mid 2000s. J. Bernard traces his soap roots to watching The Edge of Night with his mother, the bombed honeymoon that hooked him, and how that led to a lifelong obsession with Procter & Gamble soaps, Santa Barbara and Guiding Light. He and Luke compare the old magazine wars and AOL chat rooms to today's forums tab on Google and social platforms. The conversation turns to Beyond the Gates and General Hospital, where they break down pacing problems, the weight of Ashley and Derek, the power dynamics in Martin and Smitty's relationship and whether the Drew shooting landed at the right time. Through it all, J. Bernard keeps one eye on corporate consolidation and one eye on the genre's future, arguing soaps still matter if the industry treats them like they do. EPISODE OUTLINE 00:00 – "Welcome to the Daytime Confidential 01:10 – "This past May I had a stroke and a little bit of weakness on my right side." 04:30 – "My first exposure to Daytime Confidential was through the blog." 08:30 – "J.F.Y. was actually targeted towards Black gay men, which I published in Brooklyn." 14:30 – "It was that one episode of The Edge of Night that really got me hooked." 20:30 – "Santa Barbara was the show. It was fresh. It was new." 27:00 – "Fan interaction has exploded in ways now that are very reminiscent of the early 2000s." 34:00 – "When I look at Beyond the Gates, my reaction to it has been relatively mixed." 42:00 – "I initially was a little pissed off about a Black man who's gay who's being automatically paired with a white guy." 50:00 – "I like where General Hospital is right now; I have a lot of problems with how they got here." 56:00 – "I think that Curtis's dad did it." 59:00 – "I really, really have loved my association with Daytime Confidential."

During his visit to Barcarena in the Amazon basin – a UN-recognized Resilience Hub – the UN's disaster risk reduction chief, Kamal Kishore, has been seeing climate resilience first hand; not just through infrastructure, but through imagination, education, and community-driven action.The top official is at COP30 in Belém and told UN News that from flood and heat-resilient schools – to empowered children shaping their own future – Barcarena demonstrates how local leadership can inspire global transformation.Speaking to Felipe de Carvalho who's also on the ground there, he praised the local school as “a guiding light” for climate adaptation, one he hopes to see replicated “at least 100,000” times worldwide.

Hello to you listening in these still indivisible United States of America!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I've been following Parker Palmer's work since I bought a copy of his book, Let Your Life Speak - Listening For the Voice of Vocation, in 1999. You might be familiar with this quote which has become a guiding light for me: “Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.”  Over these past months We the People have turned occasional protests into protest projects coupled with growing political power to heal democracy.How else do we need? Palmer's book, Healing the Heart of Democracy; The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit (published in 2011) draws on our human instinct to choose hope, creativity and action for the common good over conflict.Following are five “habits of the heart” that can help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other:   • An understanding that we are all in this together   • An appreciation of the value of “otherness”   • An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways   • A sense of personal voice and agency   • A capacity to create communityChange arises out of chaos; but we have to learn the root causes of the chaos in order to shepherd our way to change. If it's true that a nation gets the government it deserves, I believe it is also true that We the People are shaping the government we desire with truth, values and heart work: a democracy of the people, by the people, for the people.Question: What truths and values do you represent that will help heal our democracy? And thank you for listening.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Janet Michael, the tireless host of The Valley Today, has reached a milestone few in broadcasting can claim: 2,500 consecutive episodes. In a special celebratory podcast, Janet welcomes Andy Gail, CEO of United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley—and a longtime listener turned frequent guest—to reflect on the journey, share laughs, and look ahead to new adventures. From Listener to Guest: Andy's Unique Perspective Right from the start, Andy brings a playful energy, joking about his habit of listening to Janet's show before bed and his record as the most consistent guest. Their banter sets the tone for an episode filled with warmth and camaraderie. Andy, now a community leader, recalls how the show has become a staple for many, including former colleagues who still tune in and text him after his appearances. Fun Facts and Friendly Rivalries To put 2,500 episodes in perspective, Andy rattles off a series of fun facts: Janet has outpaced The Simpsons, Law & Order, and even Law & Order: SVU in episode count, though she still has a way to go to catch up with soap operas like Guiding Light. The conversation is peppered with quirky trivia—did you know it takes 2,500 honeybees to make a pound of honey, or that the average person consumes 2,500 calories a day? These playful comparisons highlight the magnitude of Janet's achievement while keeping the mood light. Behind the Scenes: The Real Work of Podcasting Transitioning from celebration to reality, Janet and Andy pull back the curtain on the work that goes into each episode. Janet reveals that producing a single show can take three to four hours, from booking guests and recording to editing out hundreds of “ums” and “uhs.” Andy marvels at the dedication, calculating that Janet has spent over 8,000 pots of coffee and nearly 9,000 hours keeping The Valley Today on the air. Their candid discussion underscores the unseen effort behind the microphone. Debates, Dishes, and Community Spirit No Valley Today episode would be complete without a spirited debate. Janet and Andy revisit classic arguments—Is cereal soup? Is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco?—and tease an upcoming podcast series focused on the best dishes in Winchester. Their friendly disagreements and shared laughter exemplify the show's unique blend of information and entertainment. Giving Back: A Fundraiser for the Community As the conversation draws to a close, Janet and Andy announce a special United Way fundraiser in honor of the 2,500th episode. Their goal: raise $2,500 by year's end to support local nonprofits. Listeners are invited to donate, participate in auctions, and even win a chance to appear on the show. The initiative reflects Janet's deep commitment to the community and her belief that even small contributions can make a big difference. Learn more here: https://givebutter.com/ValleyToday  Looking Ahead: The Streak Continues Finally, Janet shares her next goal—surpassing Cal Ripken's legendary streak of 2,632 consecutive baseball games. With her trademark humor and determination, she assures listeners that The Valley Today will be back tomorrow, ready to inform, entertain, and connect the community once again. Through laughter, reflection, and a shared sense of purpose, Janet and Andy celebrate not just a broadcasting milestone, but the enduring power of local storytelling. As The Valley Today enters its next chapter, one thing is clear: the conversation—and the coffee—will keep flowing.

Therese Woelfel Therese Woelfel, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has held leadership roles in Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurial endeavors, and non-profit organizations. Her new book, Our Guiding Light, is her first non-fiction work. Therese's grandfather, Charles A. Linsmeier, was a Lighthouse Service keeper at several stations on the Great Lakes from 1920 to 1953. The book tells the story of Linsmeier's daughter Vivian, who was Therese's mother. Here's an excerpt from the book description: “A lighthouse doesn't calm the storm. It simply reminds you where the shore is and says, ‘You are being cared for and watched over.' From her parents and the other lighthouse keepers they knew, Vivian learned some of the most valuable lessons of her life: honesty and service to others. As she navigated her life, living through the Great Depression and World War II, standing up to social injustice, and raising eight children, she surrendered to the divine and allowed herself to be watched over. In turn, she was able to be a steady beacon of light and hope for those who encountered life storms." Vivian Linsmeier Langer Charles Linsmeier

In this episode, Scott Stabile explores the idea of choosing love in a divisive world and how empathy can be our guiding light when life feels fractured. Scott shares deeply personal stories — from the tragedy of losing his parents to addiction in his family — and how forgiveness and compassion became the most difficult, yet most healing choices of his life. He talks about the role of awareness, the lies of shame, the futility of chasing quick fixes, and why love isn't a fleeting feeling but an action we can commit to again and again. Key Takeaways:The transformative power of love as a conscious choice.The parable of the two wolves and the importance of feeding the good impulses.The role of awareness and compassion in personal growth.The impact of shame and the healing power of sharing personal struggles.The relationship between forgiveness, empathy, and personal healing.The complexities of addiction and its multifaceted nature.The distinction between happiness as a feeling versus actions that promote happiness.The management of fear through consistent action and self-care.The futility of seeking a single solution to emotional struggles.The importance of ongoing personal growth and the acceptance of emotional impermanence.If you enjoyed this conversation with Scott Stabile, check out these other episodes:How to Be Enough As You Are with Scott StabileOmid Safi on Radical LoveFor full show notes, click here!Connect with the show:Follow us on YouTube: @TheOneYouFeedPodSubscribe on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyFollow us on InstagramThis episode is sponsored by:NOCD If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

A decade ago, the actor Tom Pelphrey couldn’t have imagined the shape his life would take today: a father to a two-year-old daughter, starring in the new HBO series Task alongside Mark Ruffalo, and engaged to actress Kaley Cuoco. He was gripped by alcoholism and dissociation, having spent years working long, demanding days on the soap opera Guiding Light and ignoring his feelings to keep up with the grind. Then, he broke loose and started to heal. We talk about the realizations and practices that helped him get here (and to projects like Ozark) — including, at first, acquainting himself with the uncomfortable thoughts he’d been trying so hard to avoid. It’s clear from our conversation that Tom is tremendously grateful, and it’s inspiring to see him on the other end of these struggles.

Montel Williams earned his media celebrity status as an inspirational Emmy Award-winning television personality whom Americans invited into their homes for more than 17 years. He is a decorated former naval officer, inspirational speaker, author, entrepreneur, and advocate for patients worldwide. Williams continues to make an impact through his current role as the host of "Military Makeover with Montel" on Lifetime, a heartwarming series dedicated to renovating the homes of military families. He also brings his insights to "The Balancing Act” on Lifetime, a talk show that addresses pivotal life topics. Montel Williams is a prolific author currently completing his ninth book, titled The Sailing of the Intrepid, which will be published on May 20. 2025 by Hanover Square Press. The book recounts the harrowing tale of the USS Intrepid's first combat voyage during WWII.Forced to improvise a 3,000-square-foot sail after a Japanese torpedo left the ship vulnerable, the crew's ingenuity and resilience shine in this inspiring narrative. It perfectly captures the human spirit under duress and pays homage to a piece of wartime history. Montel Williams extends his influence into the digital realm through his hosting of two compelling podcasts. "Let's Be Blunt with Montel" delves into the multifaceted world of cannabis, offering in-depth discussions on its medical, legal, and cultural facets. Meanwhile, "Free Thinking with Montel" explores a broader spectrum of topics, delving into societal issues, health, wellness, and inspirational stories. These podcasts exemplify Williams' commitment to educating and empowering his audience through thoughtful and engaging dialogue. His acting pursuits have seen him grace screens in notable shows like “The Resident,” “All My Children,” and “Guiding Light,” for which he received a NAACP Image Award nomination.Off-screen, Williams is a successful author with eight books to his credit, four of which are bestsellers, and he's currently penning his ninth book, a military history. Williams' deep-rooted passion for the well-being of military personnel and veterans drives his philanthropic efforts. He actively supports organizations that focus on veterans' welfare, diversity, children's well- being, animal rights, and more. His dedication is further exemplified through his board memberships at the Fisher House Foundation, the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases, and the Research & Recognition Project.Holding a degree in general engineering with a minor in international studies security affairs, and additional qualifications in Russian and Mandarin from the Defence Language Institute, Williams' military accolades include two Meritorious Service Medals, two Navy Commendation Medals Medals, two Navy Achievement Medals, among others.

Classic Radio Special - August 10, 1945 - Japanese Surrender is in sight-Part 2We continue with our look at the day before VJ Day, August 10, 1945, 80 years ago.First at 1pm Eastern War Time (EWT), the Mary Margaret McBride Show.  Mary Margaret chats with Eddie Rickenbacker, who mentions that he's known about the atomic bomb for some time. When he says, "This is the end of war for a long time to come," the studio audience breaks into applause. He describes the wonders of the future, such as frozen dinners and helicopters. Rickenbacker describes his well-known experiences on a life raft in the Pacific. Then at 1:45pm EWT, News of the World.  W. W. Chaplin and Morgan Beatty report from New York. The official Japanese surrender offer has been received by Sweden, but the war is not over. A report from Stockholm states that seven hours ago, the Japanese ambassador gave a note to the Swedish government to deliver to the British and Russian governments. Morgan Beatty analyzes what's "unofficially" happening. Beatty says that he "felt" that President Truman had something like the atomic bomb in mind while he was at the Potsdam conference. Sven Nordberg reports from Stockholm. Then back to Soap Operas with the Guiding Light at 2pm EWT.  Angie and Peter make small talk at breakfast. Peter has decided to confess all, even if he is disbarred! The first fifteen minutes of "The General Mills Hour."Following at 2:15pm EWT, Today's Children.  Otto receives a visit from his mother, Mrs. Schultz. Will he ever see again? Jan thinks about her feelings towards Otto...she's afraid he might regain his sight! News bulletins follow the story. The second fifteen minutes of "The General Mills Hour."Then at 2:30pm EWT, The Woman in White.   Jack has asked Eileen out, but she has another date. Regretting his lack of funds, Dr. Jack Landis decides to ask Jonathan for a job to see how it feels to be in business for himself! The third fifteen minutes of "The General Mills Hour."Finally, at 2:45pm EWT The Betty Crocker Service Program.   "Betty" tells a love story about a Marine named Tony and his girl Lois (who finds herself making lemon pie for fifteen hungry Marines)!

From Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee on The Guiding Light to the first Black super-couple, Jesse and Angie on All My Children, Black soap actors have been on the canvas. According to an executive at CBS, Black women overindex as soap watchers, which has led to the first new daytime soap in decades. Beyond the Gates debuted with a core Black family in February 2025. It's an exciting time to be a Black soap fan. Even though there's been Black representation, Black writers and actors have often had to push to be more than sidekicks, according to soap writer Shannon Peace. “You see the faces; they're there,” Peace said. “But what are the storylines? Why do we still feel often like they're being backgrounded or there being support staff, to prop [up] other characters or other families? And when I say other characters or other families, I mean white characters or white families.” Peace said she doesn't see that problem in primetime television, but it still exists in daytime. “I feel in primetime mode, for the most part, they've done away with a Black sidekick, with a Black friend — that Black best friend — and you have Black characters in meaningful front-facing roles that are driving story. I don't see that in daytime.” You can listen to this podcast episode by following “Making: Stories Without End” on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts, NPR One or wherever you get your podcasts. Episodes drop every Tuesday for six weeks starting April 8.

Irna Phillips created the cliff-hanger in broadcast storytelling and perfected the serial drama, first in radio, then on television. She mentored the creators of All My Children, One Life to Live, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. The latter two remain on television today. Phillips also created the television vixen, an archetype first seen on soap operas that still endures. Agnes Nixon and married couple William and Lee Phillip Bell worked for Phillips in Chicago. Nixon was head writer of The Guiding Light. In 1962, she wanted to do a cancer storyline, about how uterine cancer is curable if caught in time. Doctors said women proactively asked for pPap smears after watching the character Bert Bauer struggle with her health. The Bells also ushered the sexual revolution into soaps in the 1970s, with glitz and glamor and pushing the envelope on sexuality. Soap operas created complex and groundbreaking women-centered storylines. In 1964, Another World ran an abortion storyline. In 1971, All My Children's biggest vixen, Erica Kane, was a married pregnant model who didn't want to be a mother. That abortion storyline was disruptive because the character was not seen as the “right” woman to tell an abortion story. Rape storylines on soaps have played out for decades because the form allows real-time nuance with storytelling. Nothing is ever wrapped up in one “Very Special Episode.” The uniqueness of soaps, airing five days a week, allows for pioneering storytelling.
