Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With the March 8th being International Women's Day, we decided to do a bonus theme and dedicate the week to movies about strong, powerful women. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Hidden Figures” from 2016 starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kevin Costner & Kirsten Dunst.
This week on Cooking With Positivity, we kick off another Monday & You episode by celebrating Women's Herstory Month and highlighting powerful women who paved the way in STEM and medicine.Inspired by the brilliance behind Hidden Figures, we go deeper into the stories of women whose work changed history. This episode features a spotlight on Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman physician in the United States, and Dr. Betty Washington Greene, a trailblazing chemist whose research helped shape the world of industrial science.We also recognize the modern-day women continuing that legacy today, reminding us that representation in science, medicine, and innovation still matters.Of course, we keep things true to the Cooking With Positivity mission by bringing it back to the kitchen with this week's Stretch the Pack Tip. One pack of chicken breasts turned into six nights of meals — from jerk chicken soup to casserole, Taco Tuesday chicken bites, and crispy chicken tenders — proving that creativity in the kitchen can stretch both your plate and your wallet.And our community mission continues:

More than half a century after NASA launched astronauts into space, you'd think all the stories about these groundbreaking missions had been told.But they hadn't.Margot Lee Shetterly's father worked at NASA, and the stories of the women of NASA were commonplace among the local community, but the world was yet to know the incredible true story of the African-American female mathematicians, and how integral their work was to the space race.Lee Shetterly's book, Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race, was optioned for a film even before she finished writing it, and told the stories of four African-American women.Katherine Johnson (1918-2020)Dorothy Vaughan (1910-2008)Mary Jackson (1921-2005)Christine Darden (1942- )While only three of those women's experiences made it into the movie, the story (while containing a few embellishments) is a remarkable one of hard work, grit and determination, set against the backdrop of racially and gender segregated America.Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

Due to the Patrons Voting last month we take a look at Tiffany's Birthday poll and the first movie we selected was Hidden Figures. A space movie about racism and how women did a lot to help us get to space. A very touching movie that also is very inspiring and reminds us how awful people are sometimes. Come hear how we felt about this movie. Starring Mike Albertin, Tiffany Albertin, and Phoebe Stanton.
Episode Description: How quickly do you judge someone when you first meet them—and what really matters in those first few seconds?
One of the breakout hits of 2016 was this based-on-a-true-story tale of the first manned missions to outer space. Focusing on the black women at NASA - mathematicians, engineers, and computers - who made these early spaceflights a reality through sheer brainpower while often going unrecognized for their contributions, Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe star in this adaptation of Margot Lee Shetterly's book. Director Theodore Melfi chose Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell to round out the cast in this Best Picture Oscar nominee. But does too much melodrama subtract from the sum of this inspirational biopic? In honor of Black History Month, we're doing the math to see if all the accolades tallied by Hidden Figures still add up ten years after release.

It's the true story of 3 African American women who worked at NASA back in the day when black people weren't treated as equals, women weren't treated as equals and human beings were called computers.

“Human beings are the only puzzle I can't figure out.” Aldis Hodge On this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor sit down with actor, producer, and master watchmaker Aldis Hodge for one of their most raw and revealing conversations yet. Hodge opens up about being raised by a single mother whose strength and sacrifice shaped his work ethic and sense of responsibility from an early age. Growing up in an area where the presence of the KKK was real and racial tension wasn't just history—it was lived experience—he reflects on how those early encounters with hate forged both resilience and purpose. Rather than shrink, he found his voice. A passionate, unapologetic Black voice grounded in truth, excellence, and accountability. Best known for his roles in Straight Outta Compton, Hidden Figures, One Night in Miami, Hawkman in Black Adam, and currently the lead in Prime Video series Cross, Hodge shares the pressure of portraying cultural icons and superheroes alike. He discusses the responsibility that comes with representing real stories and real communities—and how he channels personal experience into every performance. Beyond Hollywood, Aldis speaks about fatherhood and how being a proud girl dad reshaped his definition of success. Legacy is no longer just about career accolades—it's about what he models at home, the protection he provides, and the standard he sets for the next generation. In a deeply personal moment, Aldis lets us in on a powerful exchange between him and his wife that has forever changed and guided him. He also dives into his passion for puzzles and engineering, explaining how building his own watch brand is rooted in ownership, precision, and creating generational wealth. Drawing powerful parallels between elite athletes and elite artists, Hodge breaks down why mastery demands hard work, sacrifice, and the courage to pivot toward purpose. This episode is about perseverance through adversity, using your platform with intention, and building a legacy that stands taller than the obstacles meant to break you.

Wir machen nach 150 Folgen eine Pause! Damit ihr trotzdem gut versorgt seid, haben wir Pausenprogramm für euch organisiert. Jeden Samstag gibt's eine persönliche Folgenempfehlung von uns. Heute geht's um Katherine Johnson, eine der ersten afroamerikanischen Frauen bei der NASA. “Behind Science” gibt's jeden Samstag – am Science-Samstag. Zwischendurch erreicht ihr uns per Mail und Instagram, und hier gibt's unsere Links, die gerade wichtig sind.
Talking to the spectacular Octavia Spencer - Jane's very special guest is Octavia Spencer, the Academy Award and Golden Globe- winning actor, and iconic star of stage and screen. You all know her from her powerful, trailblazing roles in The Help, Hidden Figures and The Shape of Water, to name but three of her unforgettable films. Among her other accolades and accomplishments, she has her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is also a prolific producer with many projects in the works, as well as a best-selling author of children's books. On this segment, Octavia talks about what it felt like when she won her Oscar and was honored with a star on the Walk of Fame, her upbringing as one of seven children, her family values, and how she was able to overcome any negativity on the road to her stunning success. Octavia and Jane then discuss the public health campaign, Detect the SOS, that she is embarking on along with Sofia Vergara, Boehringer Ingelheim, the American Diabetes Association, the National Kidney Foundation, WomenHeart, and The Mended Hearts, Inc. As part of this mission, she and Sofia want to elevate awareness to uncover hidden risks for chronic kidney disease and related cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke with the help of a simple, non-invasive screening test. The campaign, in fact, with both stars, was featured on a spot during this year's Super Bowl.
Si l'intelligence artificielle est censée révolutionner nos vies, elle semble moins pressée pour bousculer les inégalités de genre. Selon les derniers chiffres du Forum économique mondial, les femmes ne représentent que 22% des effectifs travaillant dans l'IA. Et pour celles qui réussissent à se démarquer, à lancer leur start up, elles peinent à obtenir des financements. Dans un monde où les algorithmes façonnent nos représentations, nos imaginaires mais aussi l'accès à l'emploi, au financement ; cette faible part des femmes n'est pas sans conséquence. Car si les hommes et notamment les hommes blancs, conçoivent les technologies, ils influencent inconsciemment ou pas les choix techniques, les priorités de développement, et de l'autre côté de l'écran, nos usages. Les IA sont donc loin d'être neutres. Cette absence des femmes n'est pas née avec l'intelligence artificielle. Si elles étaient majoritaires dans l'informatique jusqu'aux années 1970, le secteur a vu affluer les hommes en masse avec l'avènement du génie logiciel et des micro-ordinateurs. Dans ce contexte, comment décoder les biais de genre et raciaux véhiculés par les intelligences artificielles et comment faire des femmes des utilisatrices averties et des conceptrices des technologies ? Émission à l'occasion de la journée internationale des femmes et des filles de science. Avec : • Estelle Ndjandjo, journaliste et présentatrice de la chronique Voisins connectés, diffusée chez 8 milliards de voisins. Et nos invitées : • Marion Carré, experte en IA, cofondatrice de Ask Mona, une entreprise qui marie culture et intelligence artificielle et auteure de Qui a voulu effacer Alice Recoque ? - Sur les traces d'une pionnière oubliée de l'IA (Fayard, 2024) et Le paradoxe du tapis roulant - Vaincre notre paresse intellectuelle face à l'IA (J.-C. Lattès, 2025) • Pamela Corbin-Audoux, experte diversité et inclusion. Membre du Think Tank, Les EnthousIAstes sur l'IA dans les RH. En fin d'émission, la chronique de Jennifer Lufau nous fait découvrir des femmes qui ont marqué l'histoire du gaming et de la technologie. À commencer par un film qui cristallise bien les difficultés mais aussi la résilience des femmes dans la tech, Hidden Figures ! Une fiction du cinéma hollywoodien qui raconte l'histoire de femmes afro-américaines embauchées dans les années 60 par la NASA pour être des calculettes vivantes, tout ça en pleine guerre froide. Programmation musicale : ► Fāfaru - 15 15 ► « Intro (Simone Simone) » - Joyce Babatunde.

Rev. Dr. Harry L. White, Jr., preaching from the topic "Hidden Figures" from Exodus 1:15-22. This podcast is an outreach of Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In dieser Folge wird gerechnet. Denn in der Astronomie gibt es nicht nur Beobachtung und Theorie. Dazwischen sitzt die Numerik und sie ist das Herzstück dieser Wissenschaft. Ohne numerische Methoden würden wir keine Planeten entdecken, hätten keine Gravitationswellen nachgewiesen und wüssten nichts über Dunkle Materie. Was die Numerik genau ist, wie sie funktioniert und wieso man davon im Studium überrascht wird, diskutieren Eva und Jana in dieser Folge.

Sinema kulübümüzün 27inci buluşmasında, yönetmenliğini Tate Taylor'ın yaptığı, başrollerinde Viola Davis, Emma Stone ve Octavia Spencer'ın oynadığı 2011 yapımı dilimize “Duyguların Rengi” olarak çevrilen "The Help" adlı filmi konuştuk.Film, 1960'ların başında Mississippi'de geçiyor ve beyaz ailelerin evlerinde çalışan siyahi hizmetçilerin hikâyelerini genç bir gazeteci adayının kaleme almasını anlatıyor. Kathryn Stockett'in aynı adlı romanından uyarlanan yapım, gündelik hayatta normalleşen ırkçılığı ve sessiz kalmanın bedelini mercek altına alıyor.Film üzerinden ABD'de kölelikten Jim Crow yasalarına, Rosa Parks'tan Martin Luther King'e, Kennedy suikastından 1964 Sivil Haklar Yasası'na uzanan tarihi yolculuğu da sizin için özetledim. Kuzey-Güney arasındaki ırkçılık farklarını, ekonomik çıkarların bu sistemi nasıl beslediğini ve değişimin ne kadar meşakkatli olduğunu merak edenler için paylaştım.Hidden Figures ve Green Book gibi filmlerle birlikte düşündüğümüzde ortaya çıkan tablo çarpıcı: Değişim bireysel cesaretle başlar ama ancak toplu hareketle gerçekleşir.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verdiğim arkadaşlarım (07:15) Ferhan Koca, (08:49) Uğur İyidoğan, (10:24) Suat Soy, (11:08) Mete Yurtsever, (11:58) Canan Ataç, (13:55) Mete YurtseverSupport the show
History's Hook hosts Tom Price and Jo Ann McClellan discuss the lives of several African-Americans who started life in Maury County, Tennessee and went on to national acclaim in various pursuits.

Hollywood and Media Bias: Cruz argues that the NYT list prioritizes political messaging over storytelling and entertainment. He claims the list reflects elitist, left-leaning Hollywood values and ignores popular, inspirational, or patriotic films. Alternative Film List: Cruz presents his own list of 30 films from the past 25 years that he believes are more representative of quality cinema. His selections include: Gladiator, The Patriot, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, American Sniper, Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick, and Avatar. He emphasizes true stories, war films, musicals, and movies with strong moral or patriotic themes. Personal Movie Preferences: Cruz shares his favorite films (The Princess Bride, The Godfather, Scarface, Fletch), and discusses his love for musicals and classic comedies. He recounts personal anecdotes, including taking his mother to Broadway shows and watching Saving Private Ryan and Dallas Buyers Club. Cultural Commentary: The conversation touches on broader cultural issues, such as the disconnect between Hollywood and everyday Americans, the importance of storytelling, and the role of cinema in shaping public perception.

The Crying Window: Memoir of a Female Scientist Looking for Truth by Helene Z. Hill, PhDHow does a debutante become a scientist? And what happens when she uncovers the dark underbelly of academic research?In The Crying Window, renowned radiation biologist and professor emerita Dr. Helene Z. Hill shares her extraordinary, decades-spanning journey where she went from cocktail dresses and finishing schools to Harvard labs and whistleblower lawsuits. With unflinching candor, she recounts navigating a male-dominated field, raising four children, surviving institutional betrayal, and speaking out against scientific fraud when few dared to listen.This memoir is a firsthand account of the persistent sexism and systemic failures women in science continue to face. It's also a reflection on integrity; what it costs, and why it matters.For readers of Lab Girl, Hidden Figures, and The Woman Who Smashed Codes, this is an essential story of courage, intellect, and the lifelong pursuit of truth. Whether you're a scientist, academic, or anyone who's ever felt dismissed for speaking up, Dr. Hill's story will resonate deeply.A searing personal narrative and a timely exposé, The Crying Window calls us to rethink how science is done and who gets to do it.Dr. Helene Z. Hill received a Ph.D. in biology from Brandeis University in 1964. She was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard and the University of Colorado Medical Schools, and she rose through the ranks from assistant to full professor at the Medical Schools of the University of Colorado Washington University in St. Louis Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia and the New Jersey Medical School, in Newark, New Jersey. Dr. Hill retired in December 2016 and is Professor Emerita at Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey.Dr. Hill has co-authored more than eighty scientific publications, was awarded the Smith College Medal in 1997. Dr. Hill has written Hidden Data: The Blind Eye of Science (2016), and co-wrote with Amy Yarzinske, Cover-Up: Collusion in the Halls of Academia (Amazon, 2021).AMAZONhttps://www.hzhill.nethttps://prominentbooksedge.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/10225hzh.mp3

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldHuldah | Part 9 Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 7, 2025Over the many years I have been a pastor, I've often heard people say, “God only raised up women as leaders when there was no man to lead.” It's such an ignorant statement and this Sunday's message is proof of that. Huldah was a prophet in the Old Testament. She lived at the same time as two other well-known prophets - Jeremiah and Zephaniah. Yet God used her mightily to turn the nation back to Himself and not because there were no men speaking up for God. God used Huldah because she had the message the king and the people needed to hear. If you don't know her incredible story, don't miss this message.Discussion Questions 1. Take some time to consider some of the parallels between the movie Hidden Figures and the women whose stories we've been learning about in this series. In what ways are they similar? In what ways are they different? Can you think of other historical examples where the achievements of women have been largely unacknowledged? Why do you think this has been true in history? Why do you think the stories of women in the Bible are often not told well or with the same level of detail that Scripture records them? 2. When you think about the span of time that passed between Solomon's generation and that of Josiah, 300 years seems like a long time but at the same time, it doesn't seem that long to actually forget God's Word, to abandon the Temple and stop celebrating the very feast that reminds you of why you are a people (Passover). What should we be learning from their failures? How might churches face the same threats externally and internally? Was anything in this account of how far God's people had strayed shocking or surprising to you and why? 3. Huldah is a prophetess whose authority and trusted position is beyond dispute. She is the first one sought out for an answer from God. Everything she said is received without debate or pushback. She validates the book they found as the Word of God and then interprets the book for their present situation. What stood out to you most in the telling of Huldah's story? Why do you think Huldah was unaffected and uncompromised by the corruption of Jewish society all around her? What can you learn from her example about being a thermostat instead of a thermometer? What spiritual disciplines do you engage in regularly to help protect you from corruption from within or without? 4. Take some time to look over the chiastic structure of the telling of Huldah's story. Why do you think the writer of Chronicles chose to emphasize Huldah over Josiah? Why does her prophecy occupy center stage in this narrative? 5. Huldah left an unmistakable mark on history, Jewish history, Christian history and even American history. What are some of the things that stood out to you about Huldah's legacy? Why do you suppose this woman, who inspired so many in history, and is the only woman to have gates in Jerusalem named after her, why is her story so relatively unknown today? What can you do to make sure others know about Huldah's inspirational story?

His selections include: Gladiator, The Patriot, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, American Sniper, Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick, and Avatar. He emphasizes true stories, war films, musicals, and movies with strong moral or patriotic themes.

He recounts personal anecdotes, including taking his mother to Broadway shows and watching Saving Private Ryan and Dallas Buyers Club.

“Most folks that came north from the South weren't migrants—they were refugees,” Jen Ingram declares, setting the tone for this powerfully layered conversation. In this Detroit is Different episode, we trace coins and culture with Numismatics Noir founder Jen Ingram, whose passion for Black coin collecting merges family legacy, precious metals, and African American storytelling. “I'm building this bridge for them,” she recalls from a poem her great-grandmother recited, honoring the journey of her fourth-generation Detroit family from Mississippi to a duplex on Whitney. Jen shares her Detroit roots, her professional climb through healthcare and philanthropy, and the entrepreneurial leap into calibrating cultural pride through currency. From Harriet Tubman's golden likeness to the hidden Black faces of U.S. money, Jen reveals how coins hold both historical weight and future economic promise. This episode is a masterclass in legacy, wealth, and Detroit soul. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

In today's episode of Resume Assassin's Career Stories, we're spotlighting a name that should've been in the headlines decades ago—Katherine Johnson. A brilliant mathematician, a Black woman in science long before it was “acceptable,” and the mind behind some of NASA's most historic missions, Katherine helped shape space exploration as we know it. Her calculations weren't just impressive—they were the difference between life and death for astronauts on missions like Apollo 11 and Apollo 13.We take you back to the smoky control rooms of the 1960s, where every number had to be perfect and the stakes were literally out of this world. But while astronauts were being hailed as heroes, Katherine's name stayed out of the spotlight. She worked in the background, asking the hard questions, pushing into spaces she wasn't invited, and proving again and again that excellence can't be ignored forever.Katherine's legacy is more than just numbers. It's a reminder that your impact isn't always visible right away—and that being behind the scenes doesn't mean you're not leading the mission. If you've ever felt like the hidden figure in your own story, this episode is for you.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/

Ever heard of a spy duo in their 60s walking three Cocker Spaniels around Nazi-occupied Paris by day and running a secret escape line by night? No? Then buckle in. In this episode, TK interviews bestselling author Matthew Goodman about his riveting new book, *Paris Undercover*—a deep-dive into the true story of two real-life badass women who defied fascism during World War II. We talk about the historical detective work that uncovered the truth behind a bestselling memoir, the women erased from standard war narratives, and how even “elderly” ladies can outmaneuver the Gestapo. This isn't your average WWII tale—it's got espionage, pseudonyms, betrayal, friendship, and... waffles?
An interview with Jean Ryoo and Jane Margolis about Power On! A diverse group of teenage friends learn how computing can be personally and politically empowering and why all students need access to computer science education. This lively graphic novel follows a diverse group of teenage friends as they discover that computing can be fun, creative, and empowering. Taylor, Christine, Antonio, and Jon seem like typical young teens—they communicate via endless texting, they share jokes, they worry about starting high school, and they have each other's backs. But when a racially-biased artificial intelligence system causes harm in their neighborhood, they suddenly realize that tech isn't as neutral as they thought it was. But can an algorithm be racist? And what is an algorithm, anyway?In school, they decide to explore computing classes, with mixed results. One class is only about typing. The class that Christine wants to join is full, and the school counselor suggests that she take a class in “Tourism and Hospitality” instead. (Really??) But Antonio's class seems legit, Christine finds an after-school program, and they decide to teach the others what they learn. By summer vacation, all four have discovered that computing is both personally and politically empowering.Interspersed through the narrative are text boxes with computer science explainers and inspirational profiles of people of color and women in the field (including Katherine Johnson of Hidden Figures fame). Power On! is an essential read for young adults, general readers, educators, and anyone interested in the power of computing, how computing can do good or cause harm, and why addressing underrepresentation in computing needs to be a top priority.
