Podcasts about Halfway

In this episode of the Urban Valor Podcast, we sit down with a World War II Army veteran who survived one of the deadliest moments of the European campaign...the Rhine River crossing! And later walked through a liberated Nazi death camp! At just 19 years old, Paul A. Groves was drafted into the U.S. Army and assigned as an infantry messenger with E Company, 89th Infantry Division under General Patton. In January 1945, he landed in France before pushing toward the Rhine River — one of the final and most dangerous barriers into Nazi Germany.At 2:00 AM, his unit loaded into boats under darkness.Halfway across, German machine guns opened fire.His company commander was killed.His first sergeant was killed.Then the boat exploded.Thrown into the freezing river under direct fire, Paul became the only Soldier from his boat to survive.As American forces advanced into Germany, he helped liberate a Nazi concentration camp — describing the smell of death before they ever saw it.After surviving the Rhine and witnessing the camps, Paul was told he would likely be sent to invade Japan. Then the atomic bomb was dropped.Now over 100 years old, he reflects on combat, fear, survival, and what General Patton meant when he said a Soldier must learn to hate the enemy.This is a firsthand WWII testimony from one of the last living soldiers of that generation.

Are Democrats rooting for America to fail in Iran? If Trump's name is attached to it, you better believe they are. Then, suddenly, we find out that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has been removed from the position, and replaced with Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike welcome Battalion Chief Adam Oleszkowicz to the garage for a rare guest appearance on Beyond the Stretch. With nearly 20 years in the fire service, Adam talks about good firefighters and officers who are willing to meet the organization halfway. The conversation dives into training, growth, and what it takes to keep getting better in the job. As always, expect a little wisdom, a little sarcasm, and the usual garage-level nonsense.

Milo Aukerman from the Descendents is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. In summer 1987, I went to a Descendents show at First Ave in Minneapolis for what was to be the band's final tour. Halfway through the show, the band announced they were recording a live album. That album became the classic Liveage! record, in my mind an all time great live record. Milo and I talked about that as well as Tom Lehrer, Frank Zappa's Apostrophe ('), getting turned onto music by Rodney on the ROQ, LA bands like The Dickies and X, his science career, his time in Madison Wisconsin, coming back to the band after a long break, and 40 years of their classic record I Don't Want To Grow Up. This was a huge one for me, and Milo was awesome. Check it out now, and subscribe!

Gianni and Jeanie interview Tony Orlando, who recounts knowing Russo since around 1980 and praises Russo's legendary storytelling and Las Vegas speakeasy era. Russo shares stories from his youth, including selling ballpoint pens after polio and meeting Frank Costello, plus his real-estate connection to O.J. Simpson's Rockingham house. Orlando and Russo discuss shared connections to John Catsimatidis and the Copacabana, where Orlando says his uncle Carmine Fava was maitre d' and where Orlando witnessed performers while underage. Orlando tells personal stories involving Crazy Joe Gallo (including being invited to Gallo's home and seeing a pet lion), his early hit at 16 (“Halfway to Paradise” written by Carole King), and friendships with major entertainers. Orlando describes working at CBS with Clive Davis as a vice president, signing artists like Barry Manilow, and later achieving major success with Tony Orlando and Dawn, including “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” a TV show watched by 36 million weekly, and a Phyllis Diller on-air moment where her wig came off. He shares multiple Frank Sinatra anecdotes, including Sinatra correcting his diction, recording “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” for John Wayne, arranging a star-studded Friars Club event honoring Gene Kelly, and a Caesars Palace night when Sinatra learned his mother's plane had crashed. Orlando explains he retired from touring concerts due to travel and overhead but is launching a storytelling show and considering a book or audio format; he also notes work for eight presidents and other career highlights. The conversation ends with Russo promoting upcoming New Jersey appearances and book signings, and Orlando describing his WABC radio show and longtime veterans charity work through his Tribute to Valor Foundation, which brings Medal of Honor recipients to schools and has reached about 100,000 students.

"Judgement – Blessings: Random or Predictable"Today Pastor James Teaches from Micah 6:1-15We are now past the Halfway mark in our Micah Series. The Prophet is still talking to Israel, but Israel is responding to The Lord's Word ungratefully. The Israelites would rather cling to their idolatry, because they cannot see The Lord's vision of the future after the destruction mentioned in the previous chapter. Micah tries to assure them they already have the tools to get through this, but they do not seem take heed.YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/A0zgzRIEvYsThank you for joining us today!

We're back at Spring St. Bar & the recent State of the Union address has us thinking about how bad leaders love giving terrible speeches when they know they're failing.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Busayo Disu, a pharmacist turned intercultural communication advocate who moved from Nigeria to Sherwood Park, Alberta in 2019. Since that time, she's launched the African Society of Strathcona County, written a children's book called Our Story, Our Voice, produced a documentary of the same name, and is organizing community dialogues between policymakers and immigrant families.This was one of those conversations where we got into it, albeit productively and respectfully. So here's the gist. Busayo's position on integration is the environment, its leadership, and its organizations have to create the conditions for integration. Without that, she says, any individual effort by the immigrants just generates unnecessary conflict.While I agree that society plays a part, I also think the immigrant needs to do the work of nudging society along to create those conditions. Healthy conflict is the way the world changes. This was a fun one. ----------Busayo and I also chat about:How she's building community dialogues between policymakers and immigrant familiesHow her children's struggles pushed her into community buildingWhat Canadians can do to welcome newcomersWhy she thinks immigrant parents need to get involved in building the society their kids are going to grow up in----------Dozie's NotesA few things that struck me as I listened through this week's conversation:The gap between policy and practice is where immigrants get lost in the workplace. Organizations will say they have a diversity and inclusion policy. But what are the actual steps? How is feedback received across cultural lines? Are there strategies for intercultural communication, or just a document filed away somewhere?"Passionate" can be a compliment or a code word, and the difference depends entirely on who's saying it. Busayo went to multiple job interviews where interviewers told her she was "so passionate." She later found out that it was polite Canadian for "you're too much." In Nigeria, it's okay to be passionate and direct. In a Canadian professional setting, it can be seen as aggression. This is one of those invisible cultural translation problems that no settlement guide covers. I think the fix is for both sides to understand that communication styles are culturally coded, and different doesn't mean wrong.Integration requires infrastructure that most communities don't have yet. And we immigrants need to do the work of building that connective tissue. Don't wait, stretch out your hand and kick off the conversation. Sometimes you'll get a handshake, sometimes you won't. And that's okay.The most effective immigrant advocates I've spoken to on this podcast don't wait for permission. Busayo got county funding for her book. She got the mayor to write the foreword. She got it into schools by aligning it with the Alberta curriculum. She's organizing a community dialogue in the council chambers with policymakers, MLAs, school principals, and religious leaders. She's the first Black member of the library board. All these happened because she showed up and made the case. That's how societies change. ----------Official Links✅ Connect with Busayo Disu on LinkedIn✅ The Avid Readers of Africa websiteOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please consider sharing it with one immigrant you know.

A teacher's relationship to power can create a lot of difficulty. Just because a teacher has a profound spiritual awakening does not mean he or she is psychologically mature or integrated or has knowledge about everything. Even with a problematic spiritual teacher, students still find their way. There are common threads of things that go wrong even in spiritual groups free of corruption or scandals. Enlightenment may not be a useful notion in our time. If there is no goal to reach, we are OK, undefined in relationship to that, and do not have to evaluate or project. The Indian psyche is radically different than the Western psyche. Trauma may open us to a need for something much greater. Psychiatric medication if needed and well used can support growth. The guru model as it has been imported and used has been problematic in the West. Abdicating responsibility to another can be a huge trap, as can an inner circle phenomenon of favorites and not favorites. Teachers can burn out students who have endless willingness to volunteer. Crazy wisdom has been an excuse for abuse. Psychedelics may have a role for some people for a period of time, but they are potentially dangerous. Spiritual bypassing is when spiritual ideas are used to avoid psychological work and developmental tasks. Trust in inner wisdom is often not taught by spiritual teachers. A teacher's blind spot can be reflected in those around him. Life humbles and softens us over time. Systems of feedback can be useful for teachers, but many do not avail themselves of it. Listening to teachers is a very complex issue. Issues that can be problematic for teachers to get involved in with students are considered. Mariana Caplan, PhD, is a psychotherapist, consultant, and author of nine books in the fields of psychology and spirituality, including a forthcoming book about the global mental health crisis (https://marianacaplan.com).

Is it ever too late to awaken? Nichole Bigley sits down with Jen Lovell, host of the podcast Halfway to Dead, for an honest and grounding conversation about spiritual awakening in midlife. Jen shares her journey through religious conditioning, childhood trauma, health challenges, and major life losses — experiences that ultimately led her back to her intuition and authentic self. Together, Nichole and Jen explore why awakening often happens later in life, how intuition is a birthright, and what it really means to do the inner work required for healing. This episode gently dismantles the idea that spiritual awakening has to look dramatic, instantaneous, or happen at a particular stage in life. Instead, it reveals awakening as a gradual remembering — one that often comes when we are finally ready to choose ourselves. Tune in to explore the following with Nichole and Jen:  Why spiritual awakenings often emerge in midlife. Reconnecting with intuition after years of disconnection. Religious deconstruction and redefining personal spirituality. Trauma, illness, and loss as catalysts for awakening. Shadow work, forgiveness, and self-responsibility. Why it is never too late to return to yourself. This episode is a reminder that awakening does not follow a schedule — and that no matter where you are in life, you can always begin again. You can listen to Jen's podcast, Halfway to Dead, where she shares honest conversations about midlife, spirituality, and becoming your most authentic self.

Pregnancy is one of the only times in life where we're asked to think in weeks instead of months, and for many people, it's confusing, frustrating, and sometimes anxiety-provoking. In this episode, we break down how pregnancy is actually counted, why clinicians use weeks and days instead of months, and how to make sense of phrases like "halfway there," "almost seven months," or "full term." We also explain where these conventions came from, what they're used for medically, and how patients can translate them into something that feels more intuitive and human. If you've ever wondered: Why pregnancy is 40 weeks but "nine months" Why doctors talk in weeks and days What "halfway" really means Or why your app, your provider, and your friends all seem to be using different math This episode is for you. At Maternal Resources, we believe understanding your body and your pregnancy shouldn't feel like decoding a foreign language. Clear information is a form of care. What You'll Learn in This Episode How pregnancy is dated and why it starts before conception Why weeks (not months) matter for medical decision-making How months map onto weeks and where the confusion comes from What people mean when they say "halfway through pregnancy" How due dates are estimates, not expiration dates How to think about pregnancy in a way that's both medically accurate and emotionally grounded Pregnancy Counting, Explained Weeks and days are the medical language of pregnancy. Clinicians count pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from conception. That's because ovulation and implantation vary, but menstrual cycles give us a consistent starting point. Using weeks allows for precision when it comes to growth, development, testing windows, and clinical decision-making. Months are less precise and that's where confusion begins. Calendar months don't divide evenly into pregnancy. Some months have four weeks, some have more. That's why "nine months pregnant" can mean different things depending on how you're counting. So what about being "halfway"? Halfway through pregnancy is around 20 weeks, not five months. This is often when people have anatomy scans and start to feel more connected to the pregnancy, which adds to the emotional weight of that milestone. Due dates are estimates, not deadlines. Only a small percentage of babies are born on their exact due date. Pregnancy is a range, not a single day, and understanding that can help reduce unnecessary stress.

Chalino Sanchez had left behind a dangerous life in Sinaloa and by the early 1990s had become a narcocorrido singing star in the U.S. He had killed, had been shot, and sang of the exploits of the cartels. In May 1992 he returned to Sinaloa for a tour. Halfway thru his performance at a sold out club in the state capital he received a note from a fan. Chalino's face went white...

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya Sam discusses the urgent need for intentionality in pursuing holiness in a world increasingly filled with distractions and temptations. He emphasizes that drifting into a holy life is no longer an option, as modern life actively pulls individuals away from spiritual integrity. Sathiya argues that true holiness requires full surrender to God, intentional resistance against temptation, and a complete dependence on divine strength. He reflects on how previous generations had a cultural reinforcement of faith that is now lacking, making it essential for individuals today to take proactive steps towards holiness.

Open water marathon swimmer Jono Ridler is halfway through his swim mission down the east coast of the North Island to call on an end to bottom trawling in vital marine ecosystems. Ridler spoke to Corin Dann.

At the halfway point of the year, it's easy to feel like we're just trying to make it to the finish line. But this message is an invitation to do more than survive—to recenter. In Colossians 1:15–23, we're reminded of who Jesus really is: the One who created all things, the One who holds all things together, and the One who leads His church. If Jesus is truly the center, everything else—our stress, our opinions, our fears, our responsibilities—finds a better place. Pastor Tim speaks honestly about the emotional weight of our cultural moment, and how easy it is for Christians to get pulled into anxiety, outrage, and division. But the church is called to something different: unity in Christ, a deeper story, and a kingdom mission that doesn't rise and fall with the news cycle. This message also prepares us for Lent and the practices that form us: Sabbath, fasting, and prayer. Not as a way to earn God's love—but as a way to become more aware of it, and more grounded in it. If you feel off-center right now, this message is for you. May Jesus become central again—steady, present, and supreme.

Halfway to heaven on a ladder that looks about as reassuring as overcooked spaghetti.

 Welcome to it. Let's screw it, glue it, and tattoo it. In this episode, I thought it would be fun to do a sonic rundown of the first 5 songs of my new album "Geographics" that started releasing on Jan. 26/26 on Bandcamp. Since Jan 26th, I've been putting out a new song every Monday and Friday and it's been a real journey, so far - and on so many metaphysical levels. I hope these first 5 songs of the record find you well and I hope it's fun to listen to some of the sonic sausage innards and casing concoction of these tunes. Be well and hang on to your minds - always.My new album "Geographics" is releasing (on my Bandcamp page only) through late January into late February 2026, and every Monday and Friday of those months, I'll have a new song up for you to digest into your ear canals. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.

Dr. Steven Baroody, certified Cox® physician practicing in Manchester NH, presents his relieving treatment plan and outcome of a patient with bilateral neck pain and cervicogenic headache with chiropractic Cox® Technic.  About Dr. Baroody Dr. Steven Baroody is a 2004 graduate of New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. A martial artist for more than thirty years, he was introduced to chiropractic when he injured his lower back being thrown. The quick recovery that followed, and the opportunity to help others convinced him that chiropractic was the career for him. Halfway through his education, however, Dr. Baroody sustained a shoulder injury serious enough to require surgery. After the surgery, however, Active Release Techniques® (ART®) accelerated his rehabilitation and enabled him to return to both chiropractic and the high level of martial arts he had enjoyed before the injury. Having been through the pain of a chronic injury, and the long search for someone who could help him, Dr. Baroody became very well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder injuries and pursued full certification in ART® to allow him to provide the same quality of care that he had received. He is currently the only Active Release Techniques® (ART®) Certified Provider in New Hampshire.

As anti-ICE protests escalate in Minneapolis, agitators storm a church mid-service. But Trump's deportation efforts are combining with economic pain to drive his poll numbers down. Uncertainty about Greenland doesn't seem to be helping matters, though the breakdown of NATO may be unavoidable or already happening in all but name. With midterms looming, how should the administration approach this delicate moment? Plus: the discipline of classics, and with it the prestige institutions of the American academy, seem determined to self-destruct. Ryan, Mike, and Spencer survey the landscape and offer up a few cultural recommendations. Get full access to Claremont Digital Plus at claremontinstitute.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back on Wednesday's 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge. We chat about the early goal which silenced some noisy home fans, and a relatively even first half, before Viktor Gyokeres got a much needed goal to make it 2-0. We discuss the goal we conceded before making it 3-1, and the chances we missed to go further ahead before they got another goal back. We analyse some individual performances, like Martin Zubimendi and William Saliba, and look at this is as a positive result which could have been even better, but which leaves us with some work to do in the second leg. All that, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
