The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Camilo Eugenio Lund-Montaño live from Puerto Rico. Gus intends to find out right quick of Lund-Montaño is classified as a White person. White reading Evelyn Williams' Inadmissible Evidence in the Katherine Massey Book Club, Gus was struck by her commentary on the influx of White lawyers during the so called Civil Rights Movement. Williams was suspicious of their presence and wondered if their primary objective was to bolster their White reputations by representing “militant” negroes or if they were in some way connected to the widespread COINTELPRO campaigns of subversion to undermine attempts to Produce Justice. This led Gus to find Lund-Montaño's report: Out of Order: Radical Lawyers and Social Movements in the Cold War. This work examines the history of mostly White lawyers involvements with numerous non-white people and campaigns during the 1900s. It highlights how the National Lawyer's Guild, the American Bar Association, and the field of law in general was - and remains - overwhelmingly White and insufficiently concerned with countering Racism or aiding non-white attorneys and judges. It's noteworthy that NLG switched their focus to issues of sexism/White Women in the middle of the so called Civil Rights Movement. Nigh on 2026, White females are the growing majority of law school students, while black dudes represent one of the tiniest groups allowed to practice law. #RevJimJones #DrMarcusFoster INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

It's all about the pantos! A big one at the Gaiety and a community one after Xmas in Ramsey. Some small but important changes to the Guild syllabus for 2026 and One Wonderful Night at Peel Cathedral this evening

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys)  Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives.  They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy.  It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years.  Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio.  Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad.  He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys.  He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'.  Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way.  When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this.  I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”. He wants his comment cut.

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts Joe Cavatoni and John Reade, Senior Market Strategists at the World Gold Council, are joined by Allan Guild, Director at Hilltop Walk Consulting and long-time partner to the World Gold Council. Together, they explore a major innovation poised to reshape how gold is traded, owned, and integrated into global financial infrastructure: Wholesale Digital Gold and the introduction of Pooled Gold Interests (PGIs). Joe and John walk through the implications for market participants, from clearing banks and exchanges to ETF issuers and digital asset innovators. Allan also shares an update on the project's development, the upcoming pilot program in the London OTC market, and key milestones that will signal progress as PGIs move from concept to operational reality. Subscribe to Unearthed wherever you get your podcasts, and visit Goldhub.com for more insights on gold markets, innovation, and investment trends.   Notable Quotes “When we hear a lot about crypto and technology and digitization, there's not a lot being said about the gold market that's actually really changing. Maybe wholesale digital gold can fill that opportunity gap and bring us into a more modern era.” – Joe Cavatoni “Right now, you've got a universe of participants that support the gold market, but I'm hearing about a market that will allow those that may not have a full vault or custodian capability to be more active.” – Joe Cavatoni “We're seeing something like $250 billion of gold changing hands every day… so physical gold works. I'm interested to hear what wholesale digital gold can do to improve a market that's performing pretty well.” – John Reade “Gold is a unique asset with this combination of a physical market and a financial market. Wholesale digital gold can address the gaps that stop gold from being a top-tier financial asset in terms of its utility.” – Allan Guild “PGIs are uniquely positioned to power a future set of digital end-user products in the gold market.” – Allan Guild   About World Gold Council We are a membership organisation that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain. Our team of experts builds understanding of the use case and possibilities of gold through trusted research, analysis, commentary, and insights.

WGA West president Michele Mulroney has a message for Netflix chief Ted Sarandos and Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav: “We want there to be consideration of industry workers in these conversations… We don't believe it was inevitable that Warner Bros. needed to be sold.” The guild leader sat down with Elaine Low on Monday morning as the town was still digesting the news of Netflix's winning $82.7 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. studio and streaming assets, not to mention the fresh shock of Paramount's hostile takeover bid for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery.In looking at the impact of past mergers (Disney-Fox, Warner Bros.-Discovery, etc.) on writers, Mulroney says, “We sadly know how this movie ends,” and that the Disney-Fox merger didn't increase employment or content production among writers. “We are doing a lot of advocacy at the congressional level and with attorneys general to outline what we see as the dangers for our industry, and for the wider, wider economy of the U.S., and they are hearing us.” Guild leaders urge members also to reach out to their elected officials about their concerns — and to lean into their creativity to navigate the current challenges. “This is a time to dig deep and be entrepreneurial where you can try and make things happen for yourself, rather than waiting around,” Mulroney says.

Our guest this week is embroidery artist Nicole Chui. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderer’s Guild of America. Nicole describes her work as “colorful, loud, intense, messy, brash, and disruptive. She started in the fashion industry but her creative urges took her to a studio she shares with artists of other types so she can express her art in the unique way she prefers. That studio has provided opportunities to collaborate, which have proven beneficial to all of the artists. Nicole is also a football (soccer) player and owner of a football club. That sports connection has provided her with inspiration for several of her pieces. She is a fascinating talent who does needle art unlike anyone else.

In this episode, we go deep into the real reason emotional eating keeps showing up in your life and what you can do about it.If you've ever wondered why you repeat the same patterns, self-sabotage after progress, or feel stuck in a loop of guilt, shame, and overeating, this episode brings clarity.I'm sharing the self-healing steps that transformed my own life after decades of chronic yo-yo dieting and emotional pain. These are the same tools I teach inside the Guild and my coaching programs. When you start applying them, the urge to emotionally eat begins to lose its power and the journey of becoming thin becomes possible in a new way.We're talking about:• Understanding emotional eating as a symptom, not a failure• Why accepting your past frees your future• The role of self-ownership in stopping repeated patterns• How self-forgiveness breaks the emotional cycle that keeps you stuck• What happens when you put your goals and desires first• How investing in yourself changes your relationship with your mind• Why creating boundaries stops others from taking advantage of you• The moment your origin story begins and the hero steps forwardThis isn't about willpower or perfection. This is about learning to work with your emotions, reconnecting with who you are, and creating the internal shifts that make lasting weight loss possible.Because when you heal yourself, your relationship with food changes. Your relationship with your body changes. Your relationship with your entire life changes.If that's what you want, you're in the right place.

In this episode, I sit down with Hayley Lever, Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Moving, to explore what authentic leadership really looks like when you're trying to create systemic change. Hayley has been one of the biggest influences on how I think about leadership, culture, and the power of creating environments where people can truly thrive. We dive deep into Hayley's newly published book on leadership, 'Leading from the Balcony', discussing everything from the courage it takes to question cultural norms, to the daily act of resistance required when you're committed to doing things differently. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with practical wisdom about what it really takes to lead with integrity in a complex world. My three Key Takeaways:Leadership is a practice, not a position – True leadership happens in the micro moments of everyday interactions, not just in boardrooms or through positional power. Everyone has the capacity to lead when we create the conditions that unlock that potential.Positive disruption requires courage and support – Creating meaningful change means challenging entrenched processes and cultural norms, but you can't do it alone. The environment around you—whether that's your chair, your board, your funders, or your team—either enables or constrains your ability to lead authentically.Accountability and care go hand in hand – Creating a thriving culture isn't about making everything easy; it's about being candid, caring, and challenging. It means having difficult conversations with honesty whilst making people feel valued and supported. And crucially, it means being vulnerable enough to admit when you'll fall short.If you're interested in exploring these ideas further and connecting with others who are passionate about systems leadership, complexity or ecological approaches to human advancement, join The Guild of Ecological Explorers by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking the 'join a learning group' button.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.Ready to explore these ideas further?

Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.In today's episode, we discuss the Bayview Guild merger. Plus, Robbie sits down with Finastra's MaryKay Theriault for a discussion on where AI can truly strengthen trust, personalization, and underwriting efficiency without over-automation, and how the evolving intersection of tech adoption, credit policy, and market structure should shape lenders' preparation for the next lending cycle. And we close by examining what is shaping sentiment with a bond scare coming from Japan.Today's podcast is presented by Two Dots. Whether it's applying to rent an apartment or take out a loan, today's approval process is full of blind spots and inefficiencies. Critical data sits locked inside documents, leaving companies with an incomplete picture that causes delays, increased risk, and inconsistent decisions. Two Dots is building a better system. One where underwriting and screening is automated not manual. Where applications happen in real-time within a dynamic and contextual conversation. And where better decisions are made faster for everyone.

Welcome back to the People's Guild.Today's episode brings another deep-dive installment of Under the Hood, the newest show under the TPG banner — hosted by @keeegs. This series breaks down the systems, structures, and decision-making processes behind the Splinterlands DAO, giving the community a clearer look at how governance, funding, and long-term planning actually take shape.In this conversation, @keeegs sits down with @mattclarke and @bjangles to unpack the inner mechanics of the DAO Foundation, the multi-sig structure, and how legal responsibilities intersect with on-chain governance. They explore the origins of the Foundation, how directors are selected, the challenges of maintaining trust and transparency, and the future direction of Chairman bounties. From there, the discussion moves into the ongoing effort to define a DAO constitution or governance framework — what it should do, what it shouldn't do, and how it could help guide proposals without restricting community creativity.The episode also touches on the role of the DAO in game development, the boundaries between community voting and team authority, and the importance of clearly defining jurisdiction so the DAO's efforts remain focused and impactful. Finally, the group explores long-term contract stability for Splinterlands development, DEC volatility, and ways to improve the proposal experience for players.Below is everything that went down in the newest episode of Under the Hood.Enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Benbow, a Football Fun Factory franchise owner in West Cumbria who's on a mission to transform grassroots coaching through learning science. After an 11-year break from coaching and a deep dive into neuroscience and learning development, Scott returned to football with a radically different approach—one that prioritises how children learn over traditional coaching methods. We explore his journey from burnout to breakthrough, discussing how Lauren Waldman's 'Joining Forces with Your Brain' course completely changed his understanding of what coaches should actually be doing. Scott challenges the isolated drill model, shares practical techniques like his 30-second focus activation method, and makes a compelling case that children don't need us to learn—they need us to enhance learning that's already happening naturally.3 Key Takeaways:Focus is the gateway to learning - Scott explains how he uses simple techniques (like writing children's names with a luminous football) to activate focused attention for 30-60 seconds before any instruction, dramatically improving engagement and learning outcomes.Children don't need coaches to learn, but coaches can enhance or hinder the process - By understanding neural network development and how the brain naturally learns through environmental interaction, coaches can step back from prescriptive teaching and design richer learning environments instead.The grassroots coaching crisis is a systems problem, not a coach problem - Volunteer coaches are giving their time but receiving minimal support and outdated training. Better understanding of learning science could revolutionise how we support both coaches and the children they serve.This is a good faith discussion between practitioners with complementary philosophies about the sport experience for children but some different perspectives on the underpinning learning mechanisms that drive practice design. Join the conversation and connect with like-minded practitioners by becoming part of The Guild of Ecological Explorers.

Are sins related to homosexuality worse than other serious sins? You might think so from how the Church and many well-meaning believers address the topic. Too often, people experiencing same-sex attraction are treated like modern-day lepers. So how should we actually talk about it and how do we support those who struggle?What can their experiences teach us about our own wounds and the ways human longing can be misdirected? Therapist Michael Gasparro and ministry leaders Andrew Comiskey and Kim Zember share how their past struggles with same-sex attraction became a path to deeper healing and intimacy with God.In this episode, you'll discover more about who you are, how to live compassionately, and how God designed our bodies and relationships for healthy, life-giving intimacy.Michael's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkD3oHy6WeEKim's ministry: https://boldlybeloved.com/Andrew's ministry: https://www.desertstream.org/Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!
