What's up, dudes? If you're looking for the ultimate Dolly Christmas special, her 1990 NBC holiday TV event “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home” is a heartwarming trip back to a simpler Christmas. CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder and I have a blast with this one! The special was made to coincide with the release of her new Christmas album. It follows Dolly from a charming Christmas store to a garland-filled Nashville recording studio in the middle of July—where she records holiday classics surrounded by enough tinsel, bows, and magnificent mullets to make any child of the ‘80s smile. From there, she heads home to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, reuniting with her family for playful sibling teasing, treasured childhood memories, and unforgettable performances of Christmas favorites including “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” “Deck the Halls,” “We Three Kings,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” It's classic Dolly: equal parts laughter, storytelling, heartfelt nostalgia, and sparkling holiday magic.As the special continues, Dolly visits a nursing home, takes children through Dollywood during Christmastime, shares touching stories about homemade gifts and family traditions, and celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with performances of “Little Drummer Boy,” “Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town,” “Joy to the World,” “The First Noel,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and a beautiful closing rendition of “Silent Night.” Watching today also offers a delightful time capsule of 1990 Christmas commercials, featuring Chevy, Kodak, McDonald's, Toys “R” Us, Tylenol, and other nostalgic favorites that instantly transport viewers back to the golden age of holiday television. Filled with faith, family, unforgettable music, and enough Christmas spirit to light up the Smoky Mountains, this is one Dolly Parton Christmas special that deserves a place on every retro holiday watchlist.One hundred year old carousel? Check. Wagon rides? Got it. Brothers teasing a sister's looks? Definitely! So grab your guitar, sing about the wisemen, and visit a nursing home with this episode on “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home!”Rose Suchak LadderIG: @rosesuchakladderpodGive us a buzz!

The Los Angeles primary elections, held June 2, 2026, were the source of great debate and not a few surprises. In this episode, David Myers, in his farewell episode as founding host of The History-Policy Podcast, interviews longtime LA public official and frequent LCHP collaborator Zev Yaroslavsky to discuss what the primary elections tell us about California's political climate and what the future might hold. The discussion begins with Zev's observation that inflation, cost of living, and the high price of gasoline have led to discontent throughout California. This sense of frustration played out in the LA primaries, with Republican candidate Steve Hilton advancing to the final two of the California governor's race. Meanwhile, Xavier Becerra set himself apart by refraining from vitriolic attacks on other candidates. Whether Becerra or Hilton can serve as California's chief executive once elected, rather than simply as a legislator, remains to be seen. At the local level, incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass faces surprisingly stiff competition from Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose platform drew attention to the failures, real or perceived, of Bass's tenure. As the general election approaches and preparations for the Summer Olympics in 2028 continue, the trajectory of LA and California overall is very much in question.Read Sueño Incomplete: A History of the Latino Wealth Gap in the United States.Read The Making of a Crisis: A History of Homelessness in Los AngelesZev Yaroslavsky is the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the Luskin School of Public Affairs. He served as LA City Council Member from 1975 to 1994, and as a member of the LA County Board of Supervisors from 1994 to 2014. In 2023, Zev released a memoir, Zev's Los Angeles: From Boyle Heights to the Halls of Power, in which he reflected on his long career in politics.

But I'm afraid to try something new."He: "אני פה בשבילך," חייכה יעל בעידוד.En: "I'm here for you," Yael smiled encouragingly.He: נעם, בן זוגה של תמר, דאג גם הוא.En: Noam, Tamar's partner, was also concerned.He: בערבים היה מטריד עצמו בשאלות על בריאותה וכיצד ישפיעו המיגרנות על עבודתה.En: In the evenings, he would trouble himself with questions about her health and how the migraines would affect her work.He: "אני יודע שאת אוהבת את המוזיאון. אבל אנחנו חייבים למצוא פתרון גם לכלכלה המשפחתית," הוא אמר לה בזמן ארוחת ערב.En: "I know you love the museum, but we must also find a solution for the family finances," he told her during dinner.He: תמר הנהנה, מבינה את דאגתו.En: Tamar nodded, understanding his concern.He: יום אחד, בזמן שסיירה ב"חדרי ישראל," פנתה תמר להדרכת קבוצה קטנה.En: One day, while touring the "Halls of Israel", Tamar turned to guide a small group.He: לפתע, תחושת חמצן רעננה הציפה את ראשה.En: Suddenly, a fresh sense of oxygen overwhelmed her head.He: היא עצרה ליד פסל עתיק, עיניה בוהות ומתרגשות ממראה שעורר בה השראה עמוקה.En: She stopped by an ancient sculpture, her eyes wide and excited by a sight that deeply inspired her.He: החוויה בו זמנית העניקה לה רוגע וסחרחורת מדהימה.En: The experience granted her both calmness and an incredible dizziness.He: "אולי יש גם תרפיה באמנות," חשבה תמר לעצמה, בתחושה מרעננת של תקווה.En: "Perhaps there's also therapy in art," Tamar thought to herself, feeling a refreshing sense of hope.He: בעקבות הכיוון החדש, היא נפגשה עם מטפל בשם מיכאל, שהמליצה יעל.En: Following this new direction, she met with a therapist named Michael, whom Yael had recommended.He: הם עבדו יחד על שימוש באומנות כגישה טיפולית.En: Together, they worked on using art as a therapeutic approach.He: לאט לאט, תמר מצאה איזון חדש בין טיפולים שונים.En: Slowly, Tamar found a new balance among different treatments.He: היא חזרה להרגיש מחוברת לעבודתה, מלווה בתחושת הקלה וחיוניות כשהמיגרנות פחתו.En: She began to feel connected to her work again, accompanied by a sense of relief and vitality as the migraines diminished.He: "אני שמח שאת מרגישה יותר טוב," אמר נעם בערב אחד, כאשר ישבו יחד על המרפסת.En: "I'm glad you're feeling better," Noam said one evening as they sat together on the balcony.He: "אני מעריך את הכנות שלך."En: "I appreciate your honesty."He: "גם אני לומדת לבקש עזרה," חייכה תמר בשלווה.En: "I'm also learning to ask for help," Tamar smiled serenely.He: כעת, העולם היה בהיר יותר תחת השמש הקיצית של ירושלים, והמוזיאון חזר להיות מקום של נחמה וחוויות עבור תמר.En: Now, the world was brighter under the summer sun of Jerusalem, and the museum returned to being a place of comfort and experiences for Tamar.He: היא התחברה מחודשת אל האומנות, וידעה שהיא נמצאת בדרך הנכונה.En: She reconnected to art and knew she was on the right path.He: היא ויעל התיישבו שוב בקפיטריה של המוזיאון, חולקות סיפור או שניים מחייהן, בין צלילי החיים שממשיכים לזרום סביבן.En: She and Yael sat again in the museum's cafeteria, sharing a story or two from their lives, amidst the sounds of life continuing to flow around them.He: המוזיאון לא היה רק מקום עבודתה של תמר, אלא גם מקלט לעולם הפנימי שגילתה מחדש בדרכה הייחודית.En: The museum was not only Tamar's workplace but also a sanctuary for the inner world she rediscovered on her unique journey.

Send us Fan MailArchaeologists in Scotland just unearthed a 1,100 year old Norse drinking hall on Orkney, complete with stone benches, sea views, and possibly the personal watering hole of a legendary Viking chieftain. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Minocqua Brewing Co. just had $25,000 worth of beer seized by state officials in a tax dispute the brewery's outspoken owner claims is political payback from the governor, and now there's a lawsuit to match.On the science side, a new study throws a wrench into "gluten-free" beer claims, revealing some labeled options in Germany still carry detectable gluten residue that standard tests miss entirely. That's bad news if you're brewing or buying gluten-free and assuming zero risk.Then we head to Boston, where Scottish World Cup fans have reportedly drained planes, bars, and entire beer store fridges dry ahead of their opener against Haiti.

The 10-year average falls to 166 inches. Here's the year-by-year breakdown:Trail count: 110 (24% beginner, 25% intermediate, 51% expert)Lift count: 13 (1 pulse gondola, 2 high-speed quads, 2 fixed-grip quads, 4 triples, 1 double, 3 carpets)Why I interviewed himLet's start with a superficially troubling number: Taos' long, steady decline in average annual skier visits:That doesn't look so good, especially when laid alongside the long-term increase in national skier visits:Taos not only declined in the context of national skier visits, but also among its peers. In winter 1983-84, Taos drew more skiers (241,000) than Telluride (132,460), Big Sky (136,000), Jackson Hole (177,000), Whitefish (I'm lacking an estimate for that winter, but the ski area then known as “Big Mountain” logged 209,000 skiers in 1980-81 and 170,581 in 1985-86). Taos (dark blue line below), continued to out-duel this group through about the mid-90s before falling off a cliff:So what happened? 1995 Taos, a freeride mecca before freeride was cool, should have been perfectly suited to flourish in a cultural moment when skiers began demanding more interesting terrain than the groomed superhighways that had become the industry's default setting. Sure, Taos was remote and a bit harder to access than, say, Keystone or Park City, but so were Jackson and Whitefish and Big Sky and Telluride. A partial explanation: Taos stopped modernizing. After replacing the Lift 2 double with a fixed-grip quad in 1994, Taos didn't install another new chairlift for 19 years. The first detachable didn't arrive until 2018. The resort banned snowboards until 2008. Meanwhile, Big Sky laced a tram to the summit of Lone Peak in 1995 and started pushing detachable quads up the mountain; the first high-speed quads arrived at Telluride in 1986 and Whitefish in 1989.It's not a perfect narrative – while Jackson Hole rolled out its short Sublette detach in the mid-90s, the mountain didn't install an upper-mountain high-speed chairlift until Casper in 2012. Skier visits went up and up and up all that time, probably due in large part to aggressive improvements at the Jackson Hole airport.Maybe, though, it's as simple as this: banger snow years descended upon Taos – and New Mexico in general – from the late ‘80s through mid-‘90s. It's little surprise that attendance ups-and-downs largely mirror snowfall patterns:But, as the corresponding trendlines show, Taos' skier visits have not declined at the same rate as the mountain's average annual snowfall. And while Jackson's long-term average snowfall has remained relatively constant, attendance has crept steadily upward. Attendance spiked at both mountains when the 2018-19 season brought both plentiful snow and the introduction of the Ikon Pass:Unfortunately, Taos stopped reporting skier visits after the Covid-shortened 2019-20 season, so we have less concrete insight into whether the mountain's recent investments in a reconfigured beginner area and a second detachable on the backside have insulated it from two historically poor snow years. This is why it's nice to have basic visitation data, and why I'm pushing the ski industry to again publicize annual attendance for ski areas occupying public lands (since going live with a chart of 2,406 years of skier visit data for 97 ski areas with 10 or more years of attendance available, I'm up to 2,822 years across 108 ski areas, and I have a total of 3,802 years of data across 184 active U.S. ski areas for which I could find at least one year of attendance).We do know this: Taos doesn't want to return to the world of 300,000-plus skier visits. Somewhere between 250,000 and 275,000 is the “right number for the experience we want Taos to have,” Kelly tells us on the pod. Meaning: fewer skiers spread via a modern lift network is a better business than 364,000 skiers funneling onto double chairs. This flips the busiest-equals-best narrative that made skier-visit counts a 20th-century bragging point. I've heard the same logic articulated by the leaders of Killington, Waterville Valley, and other ski areas that have created a better business even with fewer skiers on their mountains. Jackson Hole, too, halted its relentless upward surge – that 2020-21 dip was deliberate, as the mountain exited Ikon Base and implemented a reservation system.This approach makes sense to me. With U.S. skier visits surging (until this year) and an Ikon or Epic pass in every pocket, no one wants to brag about being busy anymore. Space is the new volume. Social media can still transform one bad liftline into an eternal meme, but at least most skiers on the ground will have a better day most of the time than they probably would have 30 years ago.What doesn't make sense to me is why, in a less-is-more era, ski area operators have suddenly decided that skier visits should be guarded like Fort Knox. If fewer skiers is a good thing and a stated goal, why hide the numbers? The resorts ought to just say “Hey we've deliberately reduced our annual skier count from 300,000 to 250,000 [or whatever] to create a better mountain for you.” Instead, this secrecy around volume just looks cagey - if national skier visit numbers are up, then why should skiers just believe ski areas when they say “trust us, it's better now,” and offer no data to support it? Perception is reality, and today's skiing zeitgeist, as channeled by social media, tells us that American skiers perceive busier mountains today than they did a decade ago.But I'm getting off track. Since Louis Bacon bought Taos in 2013, he's funded an almost-complete renovation of what had become America's most decrepit destination ski resort. I don't think any mountain operating on U.S. Forest Service lands has more completely remade itself in the past decade (rapidly changing Big Sky, Deer Valley, and Powder Mountain operate on private property). Glimmering new but reset to 1970s volume, Taos is beautifully positioned to tap a skiing public that's burned-out on Colorado and Utah crowds but accustomed to modern lifts and snowmaking.What we talked aboutTaos as a family ski mountain; last winter's Chair 7 upgrade and custom terminals; owner Louis Bacon's mission to “improve everything without changing a thing”; why Taos changed from Skytrac to parent company Leitner-Poma for its newer lifts; Taos' great base-area reorganization; the story behind the Free Tacos run; a green run from the top of every lift other than the fierce Kachina triple; Taos' massive evolution since 2015; whether the mountain is committed to long-term independence; the founding Blake family's legacy and presence at Taos today; executing rapid development on Forest Service land; [VIDEO BONUS: Cat photobombing]; running Taos with the context of having worked at also-independent Telluride; becoming a skier growing up in Nashville, Tennessee; Telluride's evolution from semi-affordable to gigantic housing puzzle; employee housing at Taos; the logic behind the proposed base-to-base gondola and navigating local opposition; thoughts on the evolution of lifts 2 and 8; preserving parts of the hike-to ski experience; Taos' evolution after the Kachina Peak lift; lift 7A; the Minnesotas glades from the masterplan; avalanche mitigation; old-school boot-packing; parking lot evolutions; an ideal annual skier visit number and why that number is below historic highs; and getting to Taos.What I got wrong* When we discuss the wood-paneled terminals on Taos' new Lift 7, I ask if they're thematically related to the “wood RFID gates.” This is a reference to an earlier conversation that I cut, about Taos finally installing RFID for the 2025-26 ski season (the gates carry a wood theme). * I said that the trees skier's left of the Pioneer chair were not a named run, but they in fact are, and “Free Tacos” has a pretty awesome story behind it.* I accidentally asked Kelly to, “lay out the housing landscape for Telluride” but meant to say “Taos.” I didn't catch this in real time, but Kelly – who spent several years at Telluride before moving to Taos in 2015 – caught it and course-corrected.Questions I wished I'd askedTaos' 2010 USFS masterplan proposed a 7,045-foot-long, 2,363-vertical-foot detach quad that would have run parallel to Lift 1 to the top of Lift 2:We did, however, discuss the proposed 545-vertical-foot, 991-foot-long Ridge Lift off of Lift 8, and why Taos nixed that machine from its latest MDP:Why you should (or shouldn't) ski TaosTaos, like Jackson Hole or Snowbird or Palisades Tahoe, has a toughguy reputation. The place ripples with hike-to chutes and glades. To calm visitors shocked by the vertical bump run rocketing skyward beneath Chair 1, Taos to erected this base-area sign decades ago:The sign refers to the infamous Al's Run, which typically ripples with moguls, but was closed on my last visit, in March 2025 (Lift 1 was open):Taos certainly has plenty of nasty. The terrain ripping off the Kachina Peak triple is among the steepest inbounds terrain I'm aware of in America. But what shocked me about the place was how approachable it was for my then-8-year-old son, a solid but very intermediate skier. Every chair other than Kachina offers a top-to-bottom green – and some mostly mellow blues – making Taos one of the better family mountains in America.A lot of the solid-black terrain sits above the lifts, and requires a short, easy hike. If you've ever humped up Catherine's at Alta or Spanky's Ladder on Blackcomb, the ascent off of Lift 2 over to Highline Ridge or West Basin Ridge isn't much longer, and it flattens out considerably after the short incline. Unlike East Wall at A-Basin or Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands, this is hike-up terrain that's approachable for people who (like me), live at sea level and only like going up the mountain on machines. The runs are steep, and solo missions are discouraged, but the easy-in and proximity to lifts means a strong skier could reasonably expect to tuck a half-dozen hike-up laps into an afternoon. Here I am huffing and puffing right off Chair 2:Dang those trees are steep even right off the jump. Crunch crunch crunch:Go up a bit higher, and things get Lord of The Rings pretty fast:Taos' only real buyer-beware statistic is its insane base elevation of 9,350 feet, which makes everything, especially sleep, a bit more challenging. That altitude is actually a bit lower than the bases at Copper (9,712) or Breck (9,600). I start to have trouble functioning around 8,000 feet, which is the Vail (8,120), Snowmass (8,110), Snowbird (7,760), and Mammoth (7,953) range. So maybe see how you do at one of those burners before leveling up above 9,000 feet. Or at least arrive knowing that Taos will try punching you in the face. Hydrate and lay off the beer bongs for a day or two. You'll be fine.Podcast NotesOn Stadeli liftsWe've got 16 of these guys left across 10 U.S. ski areas, including Lift 7A at Taos:On the character of old chairliftsI wrote last year that U.S. ski lifts' overall design aesthetic has deteriorated with the decline in number of manufacturers and a tacit emphasis on technology over beauty.And I love old Riblets and Halls and Yans, but sentimentalism that locks skiing in a time capsule ultimately stalls long-term growth and invites disaster-by-disintegration. Rather than fight to live in a museum, I've adopted a quest mentality to ride as many of these dinosaurs as I can before they go extinct:On Taos' base-area fliparoundOn Taos' current masterplanHere's the conceptual overview of Taos' 2021 U.S. Forest Service master development plan:The major unrealized part of this is the base-to-base gondola - here's the most recent plan for that lift:On “class A avalanche mountains” with more than 200 slidepathsKelly mentioned that Taos' more than 200 slidepaths earn it the designation of a Class A avalanche mountain. I of course went looking for a list of U.S. ski areas so classified, and of course did not find one. In a rare exercise in self-restraint, however, I also did not create one. A quick Google search suggests that that such a list would include Alta, Kirkwood, and Stevens Pass alongside Taos. I would also assume that Alpine Meadows, Palisades, Mammoth, Snowbird, Big Sky, Silverton, and Crested Butte are among the most avy prone. That is not a complete list or an attempt at one so please don't write that I “forgot about” some particularly avalanche-prone mountain that I'm not trying very hard to remember.On The Storm's first Taos podcastThe Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Darius J. Wright has been leaving his body virtually every night since he was 16, and what he's seen is rewriting everything we think we know about reality, the soul, and what's coming next for humanity.In this episode, Darius walks Aubrey through the near-death experience that changed his life, his encounter with a being named Celeste who showed him the future, and the verified, on-camera experiments that prove out-of-body experiences are real. He breaks down the 12 heavens and 13th container that make up our universe, the 13-strand DNA dormant inside every human, the true purpose of the pyramids as stargates, and the suppressed history of Atlantis, giants, angels, and the galactic wars.Most importantly, Darius shares the prophetic vision he received at 16, one that has already predicted the Epstein files, mass global protest, and the coming "Great Revealing" of free energy, suppressed technology, and a financially free humanity. He explains why fear is the only prison the soul has ever known, how to dismantle it, and why love (not magic, not medicine, not ritual) is the master key to everything.If you've ever felt that this reality is not all there is, this conversation is your map.We discuss: – The 16-year-old NDE that opened the door – How to use sleep paralysis as a gateway to OBE – The verified whiteboard experiments proving consciousness leaves the body – The 12 heavens, the 13th container, and the architecture of "the construct" – 13-strand DNA and dormant brain structures – Why the soul cannot be touched, harmed, or imprisoned – Pyramids, the Halls of Amenti, and Antarctica's hidden tech – Giants, dragons, angels, and the Great Flood reset – Tesla's 369, baptism, and DNA reprogramming – The "Great Revealing": free energy, replicators, and galactic disclosure – The life review, the regrettable, and what we take with us – How to find your authentic self in a single question| Darius J Wright | ►Website | https://dariusjwright.com/YouTube | ►https://www.youtube.com/@dariusjwright| Aubrey Marcus |► Fit For Service: https://fitforservice.com/► Own The Day, Own Your Life: http://bit.ly/2vRz4so► Aubrey Marcus Podcast: https://apple.co/2ns8zFP► Ayahuasca Documentary: http://bit.ly/2OrNBTf► Get 10% off all Onnit Products: https://bit.ly/3LMVArK►Aubrey Marcus Poetry: http://bit.ly/2My1ezC►Aubrey Marcus Binaural Beats: http://bit.ly/2vVc3EC| Listen to the Aubrey Marcus Podcast |►iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn►Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO►Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt►IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3►Google Podcasts | https://bit.ly/3nzCJEh►Android | https://bit.ly/2OQeBQg| Connect with Aubrey |►Website | http://bit.ly/2GesYqi►Instagram | http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO►Facebook | http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk►Twitter | http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAd

We have a meeting with the whole team tomorrow."Hi: अनिका ने मुस्कराते हुए कहा, "जीवन में कभी-कभी योजना नहीं बनानी चाहिए। चलो, एक बार मौका लेते हैं।"En: Anika smiled and said, "Sometimes in life, you shouldn't make plans. Come on, let's take a chance."Hi: रवि ने थोड़ी देर सोचा और फिर साहस जुटाकर कहा, "ठीक है, चलो।"En: Ravi thought for a moment and then mustered the courage to say, "Alright, let's go."Hi: दोनों ने कुछ ज़रूरी सामान लिया और पहाड़ों की ओर चल दिए।En: They took some necessary items and headed towards the mountains.Hi: रास्ते में अनिका ने रवि को अपने काम की परेशानियों के बारे में बताया। रवि ने उसकी बातें ध्यान से सुनीं और उसे समझने की कोशिश की।En: Along the way, Anika shared her work troubles with Ravi, who listened attentively and tried to understand her.Hi: सब कुछ सामान्य चल रहा था, लेकिन अचानक मौसम ने करवट ली।En: Everything was going smoothly, but suddenly the weather changed.Hi: घनी धुंध और बारिश ने उन्हें घेर लिया।En: Dense fog and rain surrounded them.Hi: वे तुरंत एक चट्टान की आड़ में छिप गए।En: They quickly took shelter under a rock.Hi: आंधी के बीच, दोनों ने मिलकर एक योजना बनाई।En: In the midst of the storm, they devised a plan together.Hi: उन्होंने फोन से बचाव दल से संपर्क किया और मदद की प्रतीक्षा की।En: They contacted the rescue team by phone and waited for help.Hi: इस कठिनाई में, दोनों ने एक-दूसरे को बेहतर समझा।En: In this difficulty, they understood each other better.Hi: रवि ने अनिकी की स्वंत्रता के प्रति सम्मान और प्रशंसा की, और अनिका ने रवि की सूझबूझ क सराहना की।En: Ravi respected and admired Anika's independence, and Anika appreciated Ravi's wisdom.Hi: जब मौसम साफ हुआ और उनकी सहायता के लिए बचाव दल पहुँचा, तो रवि और अनिका के बीच एक गहरा और मजबूत संबंध स्थापित हो चुका था।En: When the weather cleared and the rescue team arrived to help them, a deep and strong bond had formed between Ravi and Anika.Hi: रवि ने अनुभव किया कि किसी अनजान के लिए डरना नहीं चाहिए, और अनिका ने सीखा कि किसी के साथ अपनी भावनाएँ साझा करना कितना सुकूनदायक हो सकता है।En: Ravi learned that he shouldn't be afraid of the unknown, and Anika discovered how comforting it can be to share one's feelings with someone.Hi: दोनों अपने-अपने जीवन को एक नया दृष्टिकोण देकर लौटे।En: Both returned with a new perspective on life.Hi: मनाली की यह यात्रा उनके जीवन की दिशा बदल गई।En: This trip to Manali changed the direction of their lives.

Fear can ask endless questions. Intuition makes a clear statement and your body already knows the answer.This week on Colour Me Happy Podcast I sit down with Jennifer Halls to explore how to quiet the noise of overthinking, move beyond fear, and begin trusting the inner voice that has been guiding you all along.Jennifer shares powerful insights from her new book You know: How to Invite & Nourish a Relationship with Your Intuition. Where she teaches practical tools to help people reconnect with their intuition in everyday life. We talk about one of the biggest challenges many creative people face: distinguishing anxiety from genuine intuitive guidance. When fear takes over, it often disguises itself as urgency or doubt. Intuition, on the other hand, feels clear, grounded, and present. One of my favourite takeaways from our conversation is Jennifer's simple but transformative practice of making statements instead of asking questions. If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your path, this episode offers practical wisdom to help you reconnect with your inner knowing and move forward with greater confidence.Takeaway Tips:1. Turn Questions into StatementsInstead of asking, “What should I do?” make a clear statement such as, “This is the right next step for me.” Then pay attention to how your body responds. Your intuition often communicates through a sense of calm and openness.2. Notice Where Fear Lives in the BodyAnxiety often creates physical tension, while intuition tends to feel steady and grounded. By tuning into your body's signals, you can better distinguish between fear-based thinking and genuine inner guidance.

SUMMARYJacob and Evan break down Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 5, “The Halls of Stone,” focusing on Sauron's growing manipulation of Celebrimbor, the corruption spreading through Khazad-dûm, and the political collapse unfolding in Númenor. The episode marks a major turning point as characters begin making irreversible choices driven by power, fear, and greed.The discussion dives heavily into Annatar's psychological tactics, the symbolism of the Rings, and the tragic downfall beginning inside Khazad-dûm. Jacob and Evan also debate lore implications, compare the show to established Tolkien canon, and analyze how the series handles corruption and inevitability.The episode also includes a chaotic opening birthday surprise involving a cursed goblin face-tracking setup that immediately derails the podcast in the funniest way possible.KEYWORDSRings of Power Episode 5 breakdownSauron manipulation sceneAnnatar and CelebrimborRings of Power Season 2 reviewKhazad-dûm corruptionDurin III ring corruptionNúmenor political collapseRings of Power podcastTolkien lore discussionBalrog foreshadowingCelebrimbor analysisRings of Power reactionsTIMESTAMPS00:00:08 - Evan's birthday surprise and cursed goblin intro00:02:24 - Jacob explains the orc family joke setup00:06:28 - Episode 5 recap begins00:11:09 - Númenor's political takeover explained00:13:03 - Durin III's ring corruption grows stronger00:14:13 - Galadriel confronts Adar00:18:40 - Sauron manipulates Celebrimbor and the smiths00:21:22 - Debate about invisibility and the unseen world00:29:23 - Durin III's greed and corruption discussed00:31:35 - Disa hears something awakening beneath Khazad-dûm00:36:59 - Tolkien lore discussion about Durin and the Balrog00:50:16 - Númenor storyline and Kemen's actions analyzed00:52:49 - Discussion about actors playing hated characters01:00:01 - “Beginning of the end” for Númenor and Khazad-dûm01:01:47 - Highs and lows of the episode01:12:30 - Final thoughts and wrap-up

Rene LeRoux is the founder and executive director of the New York State Halls of Fame for baseball, basketball, and hockey. As co-host of this show he is pulling double duty as he is also our guest. After a very successful New York State Basketball Hall of Fame Dinner, Rene takes us behind the scenes and explains all that was involved in making it happen as well as what is involved with all of the dinners. Rene has a knack for making these highly involved and very entertaining events look easy, but after this episode you may never feel that way again. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Assassination of Huey P. LongJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 473 takes us to Baton Rouge on the night of September 8, 1935, when a quiet young doctor walked into the Louisiana State Capitol and never walked out. He left no note. No confession. No explanation. Six people who stood beside him — or over him — tell the story he never told.Hear more episodes about ASSASSINATIONS!!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

This week's Lore Watch Podcast takes us back in the day, with a couple questions that ask about lore from the vanilla days.We start off talking arcs. The Alliance has a great arc involving the Defias in their initial starting zone, which evolves to involve Lady Prestor in the middle levels, all the way up to Onyxia at cap. The Lore Watch crew discuss the various threads of the Horde narrative that branch in similar ways throughout their leveling experience all the way on up.Then, we pivot to class quests of that same era, up through the Legion Order Hall quests. Some of them felt like a great, cohesive way to celebrate your class and give you a lot of lore about it, and others... less so. Joe, Matt, and Eric reminisce about their time playing their respective classes, and whether they prefer unique class touches -- even if they might be a little half-baked for certain classes.If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
