Podcasts about Hersh

Kristin Hersh of THROWING MUSES joins Rain Phoenix on LaunchLeft for a raw, unfiltered conversation about artistic integrity and the music industry's dark underbelly. Kristin reflects on her journey in the music industry, discussing her experiences with major labels and her commitment to making music that feels true to her. She shares insights into her creative process, including her approach to songwriting and production. The conversation touches on themes of authenticity, the spiritual aspects of music, and the challenges of maintaining artistic vision in a commercial industry. Kristin Hersh then launches Wallace False, who offers his unique perspective on creating original music and art. The episode provides a fascinating look into two generations of musicians who prioritize creative expression over commercial success, offering listeners a glimpse into the world of independent and experimental music-making. IN THIS EPISODE:  (00:00) Intro: Kristin Hersh joins LaunchLeft podcast (05:58) The music industry's focus on image over art (13:18) Spirituality and channeling in music creation (19:39) Exploring unconventional sounds and instruments (25:49) Leaving major labels to pursue artistic vision (32:28) Kristin on producing her own music and incorporating nature sounds (38:32) Streaming's impact on musical exploration (48:50) Wallace False is launched (53:54) Creating original sounds from basic waveforms (59:18) Finding inspiration beyond audience expectations (60:00) Wallace False's new industrial soundscape album: Signal KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Kristin has always prioritized authenticity in her music, choosing to leave major labels to maintain artistic integrity and her creative process. She believes that music is about capturing a visceral truth, not conforming to industry standards of prettiness or marketability. It's about nurturing the energetic essence of a song and letting it resonate with listeners who appreciate its rawness. Kristin strives for originality and control through her creative process. By manipulating raw sounds to craft unique compositions and avoiding conventional influences, she aims to create something entirely its own. It's important not to become complacent in any artistic lane, but to explore and experiment, allowing inspiration to guide the way. Music has a spiritual component that goes beyond just sound. It's about being a vessel for inspiration, channeling something greater than oneself. Kristin and Wyatt create music that resonates with truth, rejecting superficial standards and focusing on the deeper connection it can foster with those who truly listen.

The Queen of Grunge's first band, Throwing Muses, began recording and playing out when they were just 14 years old and they're still going. 2020's critically acclaimed Sun Racket was hailed as a "perfect record." Hersh's refusal to participate in a corporate industry saw her leave a Warner Brothers recording contract at the top of her success in order to become listener-supported. "Music is humanist and so are we," as she puts it. Wildly prolific, she has released more than 20 albums - solo, with Throwing Muses, and her noise rock band 50 Foot Wave ("A group that runs laps around most rock bands" said Pitchfork, on 2022's Black Pearl). She's also a celebrated author: Rolling Stone named her first book, Rat Girl (Penguin) one of the ten best rock memoirs of all time. NPR said of her second book, Don't Suck, Don't Die, "Not only one of the best books of the year, but one of the most beautiful rock memoirs ever written." Her third book, the game-changing Seeing Sideways, pushes the envelope of creative non-fiction while telling the story of raising her 4 sons on a tour bus. Hersh lives in New Orleans and New England. WALLACE FALSE: Wyatt True, sometimes known as Wallace False, is a writer, animator, and musician. True was born in Rhode Island and raised just about everywhere else. He now resides in the Deep South. The common thread in True's work is a grotesque dismantling of any and all familiar structures. Guitars twang sour, sorrowful sonatas, protagonists are lost amongst melting walls and rooms that time forgot. He is mostly docile and will only bite if cornered.   LaunchLeft, Music, Live Music, Music Inspiration, Musician Stories, Kristin Hersh, THROWING MUSES, Wallace False, music industry critique, artistic integrity, independent music, creative process, songwriting, music production, alternative rock, female musicians, Warner Brothers, music marketing, artistic authenticity, music streaming, musical literacy, studio recording techniques, sound experimentation, music collaboration, music touring, European music scene, music inspiration, music and spirituality, artistic personality, experimental music, DIY music production, music ownership

Del, Hersh and Carl throw content at the wall and see what sticks. They discuss 100 men vs. 1 gorilla, the toxic environment created by social media and briefly discuss the absents of a former host. 

Text us here! Hersh, it is a privilege for us to be back with you, as always. We had a reluctance on the show today concerning the topic of antique cars. Then we went down memory lane with our song selection which is where the smoke comes in. We also had a wonderful story about Brooks collecting money from our beloved Deacon.

Text us here! Hershall, we are glad to be back with flying colors (an old adage-big word for old saying) and they guys were hitting on all cylinders (another adage) today. Well, that is all but our beloved Deacon, Dustin Wakley. As you know he has made some personal changes over the last almost 5 years that we have been recording these episodes (in a more shall we type, unsettling direction). He was the one that came out hard against animal rights when it pertains to housing and such and then took an about face (military adage) when a precious pet found herself in the clutches of his pool cover. Today he made another big change. He let us know during a recently made popular segment that he is setting out to save the Earth... Songleader Brad gave him the title of CSO (a title known as Chief Sustainability Officer) here on the show. I think you will be aghast (big word for shocked beyond belief at the way he chose to save our great planet, but it is undeniable that he is doing just that! Other things that happened today was Brooks had a real struggle reading agin so there's that. I can't recall every thing else but really why should I have to? this is only supposed to be a brief description of the show so you will go listen to it yourself. I am really overworking myself here but I do what I can for you, Hersh. In the end we talked about the false premise that the prosperity gospel puts forward that we should give to God to get something in return. That was how the show ended...

The science of behavior has a lesser-known but powerful framework that draws inspiration from physics - behavior dynamics. In this episode, we discuss core concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration as they relate to behavior change, illustrating how behavior is not static but constantly in motion. While valuable, we highlight how traditional steady-state logic can limit our understanding in applied settings, especially where control is minimal. The discussion emphasizes the value of acceleration, bounce, and replication logic as valid indicators of experimental effects through examples from precision teaching and historical insights from Skinner. This episode challenges listeners to reconsider what constitutes strong evidence and invites a broader, more dynamic perspective on data-driven decision-making in practice.   To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

Die Trump-Administration will weiter Frieden in der Ukraine, doch die EU blockiert – mit AusnahmenEin Kommentar von Tilo Gräser.Die westlichen Staaten wollen den Krieg in der Ukraine anscheinend nicht beenden – bis auf die USA. Nachdem deren bisherige Führungskräfte den Stellvertreterkrieg gegen Russland beförderten und provozierten, versucht US-Präsident Donald Trump seit seiner zweiten Amtsübernahme im Januar einen Kurswechsel zu bewerkstelligen. Während er mit intensiver Diplomatie und mit „Deals“ den Krieg beenden will, blockiert nun Westeuropa in der NATO und in der EU diesen Versuch.Inzwischen hat Trump laut Medienberichten angedroht, dass die USA sich aus den Gesprächen zum Ukraine-Krieg zurückziehen können, falls nicht in absehbarer Zeit eine Einigung für einen dauerhaften Waffenstillstand erzielt wird. Auch US-Außenminister Marco Rubio hatte sich nach Gesprächen mit Vertretern von EU-Staaten am Freitag in Paris unzufrieden gezeigt. Es müsse sich in den kommenden Tagen entscheiden, ob ein Frieden in der Ukraine „machbar“ sei, sagte er den Berichten zufolge. Er wies demnach auch auf die Verantwortung der europäischen Verbündeten Kiews bei den Verhandlungen hin:„Ich denke, dass Großbritannien, Frankreich und Deutschland uns dabei helfen können, die Dinge voranzubringen und einer Lösung näher zu kommen“.Doch von diesen kommen weiterhin keine Vorschläge für ein Kriegsende. Stattdessen wollen einige EU-Staaten und Großbritannien anscheinend um jeden Preis und bis zum letzten Ukrainer den Krieg gegen Russland verlängern. Darauf macht auch der investigative US-Journalist Seymour Hersh (88) in einem am 16. April veröffentlichten Beitrag in seinem Blog aufmerksam. Zugleich zeigt er, wie tief das innerwestliche Zerwürfnis zu sein scheint, seit Trump wieder US-Präsident ist.Hersh berichtet, er habe in der letzten Zeit mit US-Regierungsvertretern gesprochen, die über die Friedensgespräche zum Ukraine-Krieg informiert seien. Er hatte bereits zuvor über diese Gespräche und seine Informationen dazu geschrieben – „vielleicht mit mehr Optimismus, als angebracht war“, wie er hinzufügt. Das Problem aus seiner Sicht:„Aus Angst vor einer katastrophalen Niederlage in der Ukraine hat sich Europa hinter Wolodymyr Selenskyj gestellt, den umkämpften Präsidenten der Ukraine, dessen jüngster Besuch im Weißen Haus in einer demütigenden Niederlage endete, die ihm die Sympathie vieler Beobachter einbrachte.“...hier weitrerlesen: https://apolut.net/us-tauben-und-eu-falken-von-tilo-graser/ Hosted on Acast.

Mannúðarvandi er hvergi meiri en á Gaza og í Súdan. Við förum þangað í Heimskviðum í dag. Helmingur þeirra rúmlega tveggja milljóna sem hafast við á Gaza eru börn. Fleiri en 50 þúsund hafa verið drepin á þeim átján mánuðum sem hafa liðið frá dagsetningunni örlagaríku, 7.október 2023. Greinendur og mannréttindasamtök telja reyndar að mun fleiri séu látin, líklega séu þúsundir líka undir rústunum sem finna má um alla Gaza-ströndina. Fleiri en 15 þúsund hinna látnu eru börn og Gaza er því líklega hættulegasti staður jarðar fyrir börn. Svo förum við til Kartúm, höfuðborgar Súdans, sem var um mánaðamótin frelsuð úr höndum hersveita RSF sem náðu þar yfirráðum 2023. Hershöfðinginn Abdel Fattah al-Burhan hefur síðustu daga farið sigri hrósandi um borgina og sagt að núna sé hún loksins frjáls. Og íbúum sem hafa síðustu mánuði og misseri búið við ofríki og umsátur RSF-sveitanna er létt. En það breytist líklega ekki mikið fyrr en valdasjúkir hershöfðingjar gefa eftir völdin og skref í átt að lýðræði verða tekin. Annars verður bara meira af einræði, ofbeldi og kúgun.

With 59 hostages still in Gaza, both dead and alive, Jon Polin, the father of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, doesn’t believe it’s appropriate for any Jew to have a festive Passover celebrating freedom this year. "The point," he says, "is let's lean into the pain this year, and not even try to sugarcoat it for our kids" Polin and his wife Rachel became prominent international advocates for their son Hersh’s release until the tragic news of his murder by Hamas terrorists in an underground tunnel last August. The couple continue to advocate tirelessly for the release of the remaining hostages. On the Haaretz Podcast, Polin spoke with host Allison Kaplan Sommer about how his family is facing their difficult first Passover Seder since Hersh’s death and how he believes others should treat the holiday. “We've talked about symbolic things that people should do: Maybe put a lemon on your table. A lemon because it's yellow, the color of the hostage struggle, and because it's bitter - to reflect the bitterness that the hostages and their families and all the Jewish people are going through,” he said, also suggesting “instead of just dipping our greens in the salt water, let's drink some salt water, because we know from testimonies of recently released hostages that is what they are drinking." In recent weeks, Polin made headlines in Israel by calling for members of the coalition to refrain from wearing yellow ribbon pins symbolizing solidarity with hostage families and on the podcast, explained his rationale. “If you're in a position of authority and you are not willing to do the things necessary to bring home hostages, that's your political choice. But then, don't wear the pin.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan DeLena and his dad Rob join Hersh to talk about labels, limits, and the true realization of potential on this episode of Truth Tastes Funny. When Ryan DeLena was five years old, he was placed in a therapeutic school that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraint. He was heavily medicated and four years later, was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. His parents Rob and Mary Beth were counseled to place him in a group home. They refused. Today, Ryan is the youngest person to ski tour in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, having completed expeditions in Antarctica (2018), Svalbard (2022), and Baffin Island (2023). He was featured on the cover of Backcountry Ski Maps, and he's climbed and skied peaks in Chile, Argentina, Oregon, Washington, and more. He graduated from Vermont State University in 2024.

Ralph welcomes Deepa Padmanabha, senior legal advisor to Greenpeace USA, to discuss that organization's looming trial against Energy Transfer Partners (builder of the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock) that threatens the constitutionally protected First Amendment right of citizens and citizen groups to protest. Plus, Josh Paul, former State Department employee, who resigned in protest over the Biden Administration's policy of sending weapons to support Israel's genocide in Gaza, returns to tell us about an organization he co-founded called “A New Policy,” which as the name suggests envisions an American policy toward the Middle East more in line with the “foundational principles of liberty, equality, democracy, and human rights; advancing American interests abroad; and protecting American freedoms at home.”Deepa Padmanabha is Senior Legal Advisor at Greenpeace USA, where she works closely with environmental activists seeking to exercise their First Amendment rights to promote systemic change. In September 2022, she testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Greenpeace USA's experience with legal attacks from extractive industries and the importance of federal anti-SLAPP legislation. And her work has focused on defending Greenpeace entities in the US against two SLAPP lawsuits attempting to silence the organization's advocacy work.This was not a Greenpeace campaign—and that was very intentional. And so our very limited involvement was solidarity with the Indigenous tribes, the Indigenous water protectors that were carrying this fight…Personally, I don't think that Energy Transfer likes the optics of going after Indigenous people. I think that it's much easier to go after the “Big Greens”, the “agitators”, things like that—and they probably would be dealing with a much more difficult PR campaign if they went after members of tribes.Deepa PadmanabhaBack in 2016 and 2017, when the original civil RICO cases were filed against the Greenpeace entities (all of these fights started out as RICO), many groups across issue areas were deeply concerned that this would be the new tactic used to go to attack labor, to attack human rights, to attack every kind of organization imaginable. And so what we did at that time (Greenpeace USA was a part of it as well as other groups) is we've created a coalition called Protect the Protest. Protect the Protest is a coalition of organizations to provide support for individuals who are threatened with SLAPPs, who receive cease-and-desist letters, who might want help either finding a lawyer or communication support. Because we know that the individuals bringing these lawsuits want the fights to happen in silence. So a big part of the work that needs to be done—and that we do—is to bring attention to them.Deepa PadmanabhaPast SLAPP lawsuits by corporations intended to wear down the citizen groups, cost them all kinds of legal fees. There have been SLAPP lawsuits for citizen groups just having a news conference or citizen groups being part of a town meeting. Or in the case of Oprah Winfrey, who was sued by at Texas meat company because she had a critic of the meat industry on her show that reached millions of people. That case was settled. So, this is the furthest extension of suppression of free speech by these artificial entities called corporations.Ralph NaderJosh Paul is co-founder (with Tariq Habash) of A New Policy, which seeks to transform U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. He resigned from the State Department in October 2023 due to his disagreement with the Biden Administration's decision to rush lethal military assistance to Israel in the context of its war on Gaza. He had previously spent over 11 years working as a Director in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, which is responsible for U.S. defense diplomacy, security assistance, and arms transfers. He previously worked on security sector reform in both Iraq and the West Bank, with additional roles in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Army Staff, and as a Military Legislative Assistant for a Member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee.I think that the time for quitting in protest over Gaza, unfortunately, in many ways, is greatly behind us. I think there will be a significant number of State Department officials who will be leaving in the coming days, weeks, and months. And this is a result of a push from the Trump administration to gut America's diplomatic corps, much as they did at the start of the previous Trump administration, but even more so this time around. What I'm hearing from former colleagues in the State Department is a sense of immense despair as they see freezes being placed on U.S. foreign assistance programs—including programs that do an immense amount of good around the world—and just a concern about the overall and impending collapse of American diplomacy.Josh PaulWe have to acknowledge the precedent set by President Biden. Not only in his unconditional support for Israel and its attacks on Gaza, its violations of international humanitarian law, but also in President Biden and Secretary Blinken's willingness to set aside U.S. laws when it came to, in particular, security assistance and arms transfers in order to continue that support. That is a precedent that I think all Americans should be concerned about regardless of their thoughts on the conflict itself.Josh PaulI would say that what we face in America is a problem set that runs much deeper than any change in administration, than any political party. There is an entrenched dynamic within American politics—an entrenched set of both political and economic incentives across our electoral system—that are maintaining U.S. unconditional support for Israel, regardless of what the American people might want.Josh PaulNews 1/31/251. Our top stories this week have to do with the betrayal of the so-called “Make America Healthy Again” or “MAHA” movement. First up, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – President Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Health of Human Services – found himself in the hot seat Wednesday as his confirmation hearings began. Kennedy, who is facing opposition both from Democrats who regard his anti-vaccine rhetoric as dangerous and Republicans who view him as too liberal, struggled to answer basic questions during these hearings. Perhaps most distressingly, he shilled for the disastrous Medicare privatization scheme known as “Medicare Advantage,” at one point saying that he himself is on a Medicare Advantage plan and that “more people would rather be on Medicare Advantage.” Kennedy went on to say most Americans would prefer to be on private insurance. As Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project writes, this is “basically Cato [Institute] style libertarianism.”2. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is signaling they intend to scrap a proposed EPA rule to ban “forever chemicals” from Americans' drinking water, per the Spokesman-Review out of Spokane, Washington. Per this piece, “perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, abbreviated PFAS, are a set of man-made chemicals used in thousands of products over the decades. High levels of them have…been linked to cancers, heart disease, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, low birth weight and other diseases.” Shelving PFAS regulation was high on the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 wish list, though the Trump team had previously sent mixed messages on the topic. Trump's pick to oversee regulation of dangerous chemicals is Nancy Beck, a longtime executive at the American Chemistry Council.3. As if those betrayals weren't enough, Trump has also selected Ms. Kailee Buller as the Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For the past year, Buller has served as president & CEO of the National Oilseed Processors Association. More simply put, she is the top seed oil lobbyist in the nation. This is perhaps the most illustrative example of the MAHA bait and switch. Not only is the Trump administration spitting in the face of their own supporters and doing the opposite of what they promised in terms of cracking down on ultra-processed, unhealthy food – they are doing so in an openly and brazenly corrupt manner. Under Trump, regulatory agencies are on the auction block and will be sold to the highest bidder.4. In more health news, legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has come out with a new story – and it's a doozy. According to Hersh's sources, the Trump administration mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic long before the public knew anything about the virus. He writes “I learned this week that a US intelligence asset at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, where the Covid virus was first observed…provided early warning of a laboratory accident at Wuhan that led to a series of infections that was quickly spreading and initially seemed immune to treatment.” Hersh continues “early studies dealing with how to mitigate the oncoming plague, based on information from the Chinese health ministry about the lethal new virus, were completed late in 2019 by experts from America's National Institutes of Health and other research agencies.” Yet, “Despite their warnings, a series of preventative actions were not taken until the United States was flooded with cases of the virus.” Most damningly, Hersh's sources claim that “All of these studies…have been expunged from the official internal records in Washington, including any mention of the CIA's source inside the Chinese laboratory.” If true, this would be among the most catastrophic cases of indecision – and most sweeping coverup – in modern American history. Watch this space.5. Meanwhile, in more foreign affairs news, Progressive International reports that “For the first time in history,” Members of the United States Congress have joined with Members of Mexico's Cámara de Diputados to “oppose the escalating threats of U.S. military action against Mexico” and call to “strengthen the bonds of solidarity between our peoples.” This move of course comes amid ever-rising tensions between the United States and our southern neighbor, particularly as the GOP has in recent years taken up the idea of a full-blown invasion of Mexico. This letter was signed by many prominent U.S. progressives, including Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, AOC, Greg Casar and Raul Grijalva, as well as 23 Mexican deputies. One can only hope that this show of internationalism helps forestall further escalation with Mexico.6. Turning to the issue of corruption, former New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison for his role in a bribery scheme that included him acting as an unregistered agent of the Egyptian government, per the DOJ. Until 2024, Menendez had served as the Chairman or Ranking Member of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee – an ideal perch for a crooked politician. During sentencing, Menendez broke down and weepily begged the judge for leniency. Yet, almost immediately after the sentence was handed down, Menendez changed his tune and started sucking up to Trump in a transparent attempt to secure a pardon. Axios reports Menendez said “President Trump was right…This process is political, and it's corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.” Unfortunately, Trump's fragile ego makes him particularly susceptible to just this sort of appeal, so it would be no surprise if he does grant some form of clemency to the disgraced Senator.7. Likewise, New York City Mayor Eric Adams appears to feel the walls closing in with regard to his corrupt dealings with his Turkish benefactors. And just like Menendez, Adams' strategy appears to be to ingratiate himself with Trump world. On January 23rd, the New York Daily News reported that Adams had pledged to avoid publicly criticizing Trump. Adams has previously called Trump a “white supremacist.” Adams' simpering seems to having the intended effect. On January 29th, the New York Times reported “Senior Justice Department officials under President Trump have held discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan about the possibility of dropping their corruption case,” against Adams. This story notes that “The defense team is led by Alex Spiro, who is also the personal lawyer for Elon Musk.”8. Our final three stories this week have to do with organized labor. First, Bloomberg labor reporter Josh Eidelson reports Trump has ousted National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. This alone is a tragedy; Abruzzo has been nothing short of a crusader on behalf of organized labor during her tenure. Yet, more troubling news quickly followed: Trump has unlawfully sacked Gwynne Wilcox a Democratic member of the labor board with no just cause. As Eidelson notes, the law forbids “firing board members absent neglect or malfeasance.” Wilcox was the first ever Black member of the NLRB and her unlawful removal gives Trump a working majority at the board. Expect to see a rapid slew of anti-worker decisions in the coming days.9. In some good news, independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reports that union collective bargaining agreements have successfully “thwart[ed]…Trump's return to work order.” Instead, the administration has been forced to issue a new order, stating “Supervisors should not begin discussions around the return to in-person work with bargaining unit employees until HHS fulfills its collective bargaining obligations.” In other words, even while every supposed legal guardrail, institutional norm, and political force of gravity wilts before Trump's onslaught, what is the one bulwark that still stands strong, protecting everyday working people? Their union.10. Our final story is a simple one. Jacobin labor journalist Alex Press reports that in Philadelphia, the first Whole Foods grocery store has voted to unionize. The nearly-300 workers at the store voted to affiliate with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1176. Whole Foods was sold to Amazon in 2017 and since then the e-tail giant has vigorously staved off unionization. Could this be the first crack in the dam? Only time will tell.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Text us here! Hersh, we started off with the deacon not being in his chair but we located him in no time. We sure hate that he didn't make it in studio but we were glad to talk to him nonetheless (three words jammed together to make no sense at all inmyopinion). We also had a rather serious discussion on how we deal with things that we can't control. We then heard from the Basement Bargains and found out that there has been a major change at their church. Gen Z Boy filled in for the Deacon on reading the Bible and it ended up introducing us to a new group of people. We ended with some very valued feedback...

Episode #359 – A Look Back on 2024  Hi I'm David Hirsch, founder of the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network as well as host of the Special Fathers Network Dad To Dad Podcast.   Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2025.   Tom Couch, the editor and producer of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, and I, thought we would do something special and provide a Look Back on 2024.   In total we produced 72 episodes, 52 were weekly episodes airing on Fridays and for 20 weeks from May through September we produced a series of short episodes with SFN Mentor Fathers who are also involved with the SFN Mastermind Group program.  We called them SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts.    While we'd love to include a snippet from all 70+ episodes, to keep it more concise we decided to provide some highlights.   We hope you enjoy listening to this Look Back on 2024 Episode as much as we did producing it.   18 of the 2024 guests are authors.   Nine of the interviews included international guests, from the following seven countries: Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Iceland, Israel and the UK.  Four of the guests are women.  Three interviews were with dads who lost a child including one who was an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas terrorists.  Two interviews included military veterans: a former U.S. Navy Seal and a U.S. Air Force Vietnam-era combat pilot.  And one of the guests is a Native American.   The episodes also spanned a very broad range of disabilities including; Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rare Disease, Dwarfism as well as those who are blind, deaf and missing a limb(s).    Here is a brief month by month recap with a clip from a select number of episodes.   In January, we aired four episodes including a dad from the UK and one from the Cayman Islands as well as with Jonathan Eig, father to three, including a son whose parents passed away at an early age.  Jon is also the best-selling author of biographies on: Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and MLK.   In February, we aired four episodes including one with Dave Jereb of Sydney, Australia, a Physical Therapist, co-founder of Move About Therapies and author of the book: Challenging The Story. We also did a two-episode story with filmmaker Bob Manganelli, whose 23 year old deaf son, very tragically committed suicide, while at Gallaudet University back in 2014.  In March, we produced five episodes including a two-episode interview with Keith Harris of Albuquerque, NM who is a retired business owner and father of four, including son Tim who has Down Syndrome.   He and Tim owned and operated the restaurant Tim's Place for five years.  Tim also went on to author The Book of Hugs, a children's book.  In April, we aired four episodes including one with Jonathan Bennett of Ontario Canada, who is an executive leadership coach, author and father of two, including one with Autism who is also non-binary.  In May, we did six episodes including one with Dr. Greg Pursley of Jackson, MO who is a chiropractor, owner of PC Medical Centers, an author and father of two, including a son who has Dwarfism.   We also interviewed John Borling of Rockford, IL who is a retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force.  John was a combat pilot in Vietnam who flew 97 missions before being shot down and held hostage for six years, eight months at the Infamous Hanoi Hilton.  And we interviewed Jon Ghahate a Pueblo Indian from Placitas, NM who is a Vietnam-er veteran and father of three, including a daughter who is sight impaired.  In June, we produced eight episodes including four SFN Mastermind Group Monday interviews with testimonials about their mastermind group experiences.  One was with John Shouse of Franklin, TN an industrial control engineer and father of three including twin boys, one of which, Evan, is Autistic.   John and his wife, Janet, have been leaders in the disability community throughout TN and John has been involved with the Tuesday night Mastermind group for nearly three years.   We also interviewed Paul Briggs of Falling Waters, WV, who is the father of 38.  No this was not a typographical error or some misstatement.  Paul and his wife, Jeanne, have six biological kids and 32 adopted children including: 13 from Ghana, 10 from Ukraine, six from Russia, two from Bulgaria and one from Mexico.   In July, we did nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday interviews.  We also interviewed Kelley Coleman of Los Angeles, CA, a mother of two, a disability advocate, and author of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports.   We also interviewed Sam Farmer of North Easton, MA who is the father of a son with Autism and later in life was also diagnosed with Asperger's.  Sam is also the author of A Long Walk Down A Winding Road and has become one of the more well recognized self-advocates in the Autism community.  We also Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL in a two-part interview.  Al is a retired aerospace executive and he and his wife, Rosemary, have 22 children including four biologic kids and 17 adopted kids, and one they parented.   In August, we aired nine episodes including four Mastermind Group Monday episodes, including one with Tom Costello of Frankfort, IL who is the father of twin 21-year-old boys who are Autistic.  Tom and his wife Irene created the Twin Autism Foundation and have been outspoken advocates for those diagnosed with ASD.    We also interviewed Alvin Green of Chicago who is a retired Chef.  Alvin and his wife, Angela Ferguson, have two boys including Aiden who is Autistic.  To provide Aiden with some career skills and to support himself, Alvin founded Al's Cookie Mixx, a premium online cookie business that employs individuals who have intellectual disabilities.  In September, we produced nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday episodes and one with Agust Kristmanns of Reykjavik, Iceland who is the father of three including son, Ingi, who has 2Q37 Deletion syndrome, a rare chromosome condition that affects his development.  We also interviewed Jonathan Polin who is an Israeli-American.  Jonathan and his wife, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, became some of the most outspoken advocates speaking out about the urgency behind releasing the Israelis being held hostage by Hamas.  They met with the Pope at the Vatican and President Biden at the White House.  They spoke at the United Nations in Geneva and at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.  I interviewed Jonathan on day 328 of their son Hersh's captivity and very sadly, just days later we learned about Hamas murdering six of the hostages including Hersh.   In October, we aired five episodes including one with Dr. Ruslan Vasyutin who is a single Ukrainian father to 12 year old daughter Alicia, who has Cerebral Palsy and unable to walk or talk.  They are currently living in Solihull, England after fleeing Kiev in February 2022 after the Russia invasion of Ukraine.    We also interviewed Andrew Bustamante of Colorado Springs, CO who is the father of two young children.  Andrew and his wife, Jihi, are both x-CIA undercover intelligence officers and hosts of the EverydaySpy Podcast.  It was a fascinating conversation about utilizing CIA tactics to overcome adversity.   In November, we produced five episodes including one with fellow podcaster daughter-father team: Reena Friedman Watts and her father Wayne, who produce the Better Call Daddy Podcast.  We also interviewed Todd Evans of Brentwood, TN who is an entrepreneur.  He and his wife Kristin have two children with disability and are the co-authors of How To Build A Thriving Marriage As You Care For Children With Disabilities.  And in December we did four episodes including one with former U.S. Navy Seal Phillip Koontz who is a business owner, leadership coach and speaker, father of five including an Autistic son and author of the book: The Truth Behind My Trident, which provides a fascinating look behind the curtain of the life as a U.S. Navy Seal.  We also interviewed Emma Livingstone of London, England who is the mother of three typical kids, who herself has Cerebral Palsy and is founder and CEO of UP - The Adult Movement For Adults With Cerebral Palsy.   All in all 2024 was an extraordinary year for the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network.    I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to:  Tom Couch, our SFN Dad To Dad Podcast editor and producer and my partner in crime,            To Our primary sponsor Horizon

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today, we bring you a special conversation held this week between three women bearing the name Rachel in honor of the traditional annual observance of the death of the biblical Rachel: ToI blogger Rachel Sharansky Danziger, war widow Rachel Goldberg and bereaved mother Rachel Goldberg-Polin. Rachel Goldberg and Rachel Goldberg-Polin share a name, a neighborhood, and a history. Rachel Goldberg's father was Rachel Goldberg-Polin's teacher at one time, and her husband, Rav Avi Goldberg, taught Rachel's son Hersh. Tragically, they now share the intolerable pain of loss. Rachel's son, Hersh Goldberg Polin, was kidnapped on October 7, 2023, from the Nova music festival. Rachel and her husband Jon advocated relentlessly for his release and continue to ask the world to push for the release of the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza. Hersh was murdered in Gaza in late August with five other hostages. Rachel's husband, Rav Avi Goldberg, served in the reserves for over 250 days since October 7, before falling in battle in Lebanon three weeks ago. As part of the ongoing efforts to continue Rav Avi's legacy and efforts (including his dream of building a shul for his community, Beorcha), Rabbi David Ansbacher, Rav Avi's brother-in-law, invited Rachel and Rachel to come together in honor of the anniversary of the death of Rachel the matriarch and share their experiences and insights. This conversation was facilitated by a third Rachel – Beorcha member and Times of Israel blogger Rachel Sharansky Danziger. The conversation, titled "Rachel weeping for her children," is available on video online and is now generously shared by Beorcha here in podcast form.

Text us here! Hersh, right out of the gate (proverbial comparative saying about racehorses) we talked about how our time is held hostage and boy di it ever get serious. We followed that with feedback and heard from some of our listeners about how we're doing with this trash-cast. We ended the program today with our beloved song leader bringing the red-back hymn book in for a random challenge of guessing the lyrics. It is the more sanctimonious version of Name That Tune except with the same level of competitiveness. All in all, it was a good day and as always, we are glad for all who choose to listen...

Text us here! Hersh, we're back again for day two of our Pastoral Series. Today we talked about the significance of Sunday School and how challenged we feel to allow that practice to become a time where we look into the Word of God. We acknowledged  some weaknesses in our own ministries when we view teaching as unnecessary. We also talked about another often neglected part of our worship experiences and that is the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism in water. Pastors Jon Brock, Davin Burnett, and Jon Isaacs offered some helpful insights on all of the subjects. please come back tomorrow for possibly the most important discussion in this series.

Text us here! Hersh, it's finally here… the time we've all been waiting for. We decided to release the highly un-anticipated episode that settled the debate on whether we should observe the traditional washing of feet or not. This was recorded several months ago with we and our wives. Due to a heavy traval schedule, we were unable to record our regular show so I felt it was a prime time to let the world here that we had made some definitive decisions on this topic. Take a listen and see if you agree with your stance or not, Hershall.

Eleven months after Oct.7, Israel and the Jewish people are still grieving. Last week we received the terrible news that six hostages were murdered, after surviving for nearly a year. Navigating grief and hope during ongoing heartache and war is extremely complicated to navigate, especially in the wake of such tragic news. In this episode of Unpacking Israeli History, Noam pays tribute to the six beautiful lives taken too soon: Carmel, Almog, Eden, Alexander, Ori, and Hersh. He then interviews Kibbutz Beeri resident Yarden Tzemach about his family's experience on Oct.7 and its aftermath. Yarden and Noam discuss Kibbutz Beeri's history and future while reflecting on what it means to rebuild.
