We were so thrilled to welcome one of our amazing Boston Marathoners, Lauren Hitchens, to the podcast.Lauren is an experienced marathon runner, having completed ten marathons since 2016, including all six Marathon Majors. She set her PR of 3:38:35 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon, qualifying her for the 2025 Boston Marathon, her first. In spring 2024, after successfully running the Tokyo Marathon, Lauren experienced pain in her foot that has taken her on a journey of seeking a path to healing that has required multiple expert opinions, an unconventional approach to training for Boston (including the use of tools like Lever and Fluid Running), and a reimagining of her goals for her first Boston. Lauren balances her training with her responsibilities as a mother and business executive at Google. We are so grateful to Lauren for sharing her inspiring story!

This is our 2025 Mother's Day special. We didn't plan it that way, but that's what it become. As we've noted in the past, Jennifer and I don't plan any aspect of our podcast other than asking Luana Anders, my pal on the flipside, who wants to come forward and speak with us. Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years, the past five on our podcast. In today's episode Mother Teresa came forward to talk about Mother's day - and how women are built like Gaia - the mother earth - for compassion and empathy and whether they have or had children, they should be honored as mothers. I made a fun suggestion to invite Christopher Hitchens to chat with us - we've spoken with both Mother Teresa and Hitchens in the past - both transcripts are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE - but interesting to note that Mother Teresa nixed that idea. As I note in the podcast he was in denial about their being an afterlife - she said she had met him on the flipside, and no she didn't want to invite him to speak. She wanted to talk about the loving energy that people share and should focus on. I asked her about the story of "Pope Joan" and I was startled to hear her confirm that it occurred. That's mind bending - because the Church claims it did not, but if one has ever lived in Rome, they know that some streets are blocked off permanently - and no one is allowed to go down them. According to legend, Via Papalis - between St John Lateran the old Vatican and the city - Pope Joan fainted from loss of blood, either from a miscarriage or from her period - and she was erased from the history of the church. Jennifer didn't know the story, but Mother Teresa does - and said it was true, and is "one of the greatest stories in history." Mind bending because one could argue it presages the story of the film "Conclave" - I asked questions about the new Pope Leo, and we were told it was "meant to be" that he is the "Pope that is needed in this time." They won't alter our future with info - but this was mind bending to say the least. I invited the philosopher St. Augustine to share his opinion because the New Pope is from the Augustinian order - and he said "drink the wine." (Referring to his book "Confessions" and Jennifer's recent post about a client on the flipside who regretted he didn't drink the wines he had collected. Jennifer's father Jim stopped by, and then when asked who wanted to speak, Jesus showed up. Unlike most podcasts, I didn't edit any of the pauses between questions. So if one is listening there will be long periods of silence - if they're watching they will see Jennifer's face go through various emotions when hearing the answers. The answer is love. And Jesus repeats that in his answers to my questions. It's all about love - and "everything is always okay." Happy Mom's day.

De laatste tijd merkte Jonas steeds vaker op dat het christendom terug populairder wordt. De afgelopen decennia trokken jonge spirituele zoekers vooral richting het Oosten maar het tij lijkt te keren. Het christendom is niet langer iets wat je afzweert. Het wordt terug iets waar je je in verdiept.Zo valt het op dat een grote hoeveelheid influencers zich de afgelopen drie jaar plots tot het christendom (be)keerden en daar honderduit over praten in hun YouTube video's en podcasts. Ayan Hirsi Ali, Candace Owens, Russell Brand, George Sanko, Elizabeth Oldfield, Paul Kingsnorth,… het zijn maar enkele namen van figuren met een groot gevolg die hun liefde voor Jezus en de Bijbel publiekelijk uit de doeken doen.Over dit alles ging Jonas dan ook verder in gesprek met theoloog en Bijbelkenner Alain Verheij. In de vorige aflevering focusten ze specifiek op Jordan Peterson. Ze bespraken wat Petersons invloed is op het publieke debat en ze analyseerden zijn jongste boek waarin hij een poging onderneemt om zijn achterban van een bijbeluitleg te voorzien. Maar Peterson is dus zeker niet de enige YouTube goeroe die steeds meer aandacht heeft voor zo'n thema's. Interessant genoeg tref je het zelfs aan onder atheïsten. Een YouTuber als Alex O'Connor is daarvan een goed voorbeeld. O'Connor is een vertegenwoordiger van hedendaags populair atheïsme, maar in tegenstelling tot de vorige generatie (zoals Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennet), doet hij diepgravende interviews met theologen en exegeten in een poging om een beter begrip te krijgen van het christendom en de Bijbel. Daarenboven is het niet louter een internetfenomeen. Ook offline herleeft de interesse in het christendom. Aan de eettafel tijdens familiefeesten hoorde Jonas enkele jongere neven vertellen over de christelijke influencers die ze volgen. En in gesprekken met vrienden kwamen de laatste maanden erg vaak verhalen aan bod over kennissen die zich terug openstellen voor de christelijke traditie.Genoeg redenen dus om even stil te staan bij de vraag of er op dit moment werkelijk sprake is van een revival van het christendom. En als dat inderdaad zo is, welke maatschappelijke dynamieken zorgen daar dan voor? Hoe moeten we ons tot die dynamieken verhouden? Kunnen we voorkomen dat de Bijbel louter op sloganeske manieren geïnterpreteerd wordt? En zijn het vooral rechtse stemmen die opgang maken of is er ook sprake van heropleving van het christendom aan de linkerkant?-------Voor meer over het werk van Alain, kan je terecht op zijn website: alainverheij.nl-------'Groetjes uit Shambhala' is een productie van Volzin.
In today's episode, Hayes Hitchens talks with us about his journey starting and building Moondance Adventures.Moondance is a teen adventure travel program that sends over 2000 teenagers each summer on trips across five continents and over twenty countries with a commitment to foster personal growth, leadership skills, problem solving, decision making and a love for the outdoors.For some backstory, Hayes was the dean of students and director of summer programs at my school and I remember him talking about starting Moondance Adventures when I was in the 7th grade.So, this is a super meaningful reconnection and WOW - to see what he has accomplished is just so inspiring and heart-warming.Subscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or YouTube.Let's connect!Subscribe to my newsletter: Time To Live: Thriving in Business and BeyondWebsite: https://www.annemcginty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemcgintyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annemcgintyhost
What's the Big Idea? Finally, Sarah Vine (once memorably described as being ‘like and loathed in equal measure, divisive, but never indecisive') and Peter Hitchens (a man whose writing a critic was called to compare to a Guardsman's boot: ‘as highly polished and potentially lethal') meet once a week to look at the world and mutter, alas… Acclaimed columnist and journalist Sarah Vine and best-selling author and broadcaster Peter Hitchens discuss and dissect social, economic, and pop cultural flotsam and jetsam that have risen out of the dark waters of that week's news. Taking one big idea each episode and pulling it apart with élan, imagine Vine and Hitchens respective columns brought to life and then skewered, scoffed at, debated, and given the full weight of Vine and Hitchens impenetrable gaze. Though an accord might not always be reached, it's the journey that matters. Whether it's the tech bros gone rogue – Meta tearing up its own rule book on fact checking, Musk attempting to influence governmental policy, or the knotty subject on society's ever-increasing reliance on anti-depressants to treat what might just be the modern malaise and not depression at all. Or, evil, nature or nurture? Does evil actually exist or is it an idea that hangs over us, or do we just sometime embody it and the actions themselves are evil, not the individual? All this and more are to be pored over, one towering topic each week discussed with humour, insight, and real understanding.

Send us a textIt's time for the first road.cc Podcast episode of 2025, and we decided to kick off the new year by mixing things up and delving into unexplored territory for the podcast – by analysing the ongoing struggles facing the cycling industry and assessing where the BBC went wrong in their latest controversial active travel take. Oh wait… Well, start as you mean to go on, I suppose.And to just underline how little ground we're planning on breaking this year, in part one Ryan and Jack are joined once again by Rory Hitchens, a long-time bike industry stalwart, for what's fast becoming an annual segment on the podcast: assessing the state of the cycling industry as we enter the new year.For most of last year, the bike industry's motto seemed to be ‘Survive until 2025' – and it's clear that there is plenty of surviving still going on.However, despite continuing negative headlines, Hitchens is optimistic that the storms which have battered the cycling industry since the Covid pandemic are starting, finally, to abate, as the industry reshapes itself into something “leaner, meaner, and more creative”.And speaking of creative thinking, in part two e-biketips editor Alex Bowden joins us to pick apart THAT recent BBC Panorama documentary on e-bikes – widely criticised for appearing to conflate legal e-bikes with illegally modified machines, and the dangerous riding and criminality associated with them – and ask: Where did Adrian Chiles go wrong?
We are joined by Luke Savage (@LukewSavage) - writer and co-host of "Michael & Us" - to talk about Trudeau's resignation and what that means for the career of Pierre Poilievre and Canada.

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, December 25th and I'm Keith Ippolito. Cobb County Residents Urged to Drive Safely During Holiday Season Georgia State Patrol Troopers and Motor Carrier Compliance officers are stepping up patrols across interstates and state roads this holiday season, including in Cobb County, to ensure drivers stay safe during the festive period. Colonel Billy Hitchens, Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, highlighted the focus on preventing serious crashes by targeting unsafe driving habits and enforcing traffic laws. Last Christmas, GSP reported 589 crashes, 335 injuries, and 11 fatalities statewide. On New Year’s last year, nine fatalities occurred along with 317 crashes and 177 injuries. These sobering numbers underline the importance of safe driving practices. Cobb County drivers are urged to obey speed limits, stay alert, and have a plan for a sober driver. “If you are caught driving impaired, you will be arrested,” added Hitchens.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for December 24th Publish Date: December 24th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, December 25thand Happy Birthday to Jimmy Buffett ***12.25.24 - BIRTHDAY – JIMMY BUFFETT*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia 1. Gwinnett law enforcement help 115 children have gifts for Christmas 2. Two new Gwinnett school board members take oaths of office 3. Gwinnett's newest Superior Court judges sworn in All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Gwinnett law enforcement help 115 children have gifts for Christmas The Gwinnett Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 hosted its annual Cops and Kids Christmas event, where 125 officers from eight Gwinnett County agencies helped 115 children from financially struggling families select Christmas gifts at a local Walmart. This initiative, crucial amid inflation, ensures these children receive toys and clothes, with families vetted for neediness, often being on Medicaid. Despite inflation reducing donations, the event remains vital, as many families wouldn't have Christmas without it. Additionally, Hebron Baptist Church provided "Blessing Boxes" containing food for Christmas meals, enhancing the holiday experience. The event highlights community support, with law enforcement and church members collaborating to bring joy and relief to needy families during the festive season. STORY 2: Two new Gwinnett school board members take oaths of office Gwinnett County's newly elected school board members, Rachel Stone and Steve Gasper, were sworn in alongside returning member Tarece Johnson-Morgan. Although their terms officially start on January 1, they used the occasion to outline their commitments. Stone, a former teacher, emphasized advocating for school safety, supporting educators, and being a transparent steward of taxpayer funds. Gasper, a small business owner, pledged to listen and engage with the community. The board, now with two new members, also includes veterans Steve Knudsen, Adrienne Simmons, and Johnson-Morgan, who vowed to champion equity and represent diverse communities. Stone, who defeated Karen Watkins, brings classroom experience and a legal background, viewing schools as vital to democracy and opportunity. Gasper, replacing Mary Kay Murphy, appreciates her mentorship and is committed to community involvement. This transition marks a significant change in the five-member board's composition. STORY 3: Gwinnett's newest Superior Court judges sworn in New Superior Court Judges Kimberly Gallant and Tuwanda Rush Williams were recently sworn in, set to replace retiring Judges Ronnie Batchelor and Karen Beyers in 2025. Gallant, a former Gwinnett magistrate judge, brings extensive courtroom experience and a reputation for professionalism. Williams, previously Gwinnett's deputy county attorney and a past president of the Gwinnett Bar Association, is praised for her fairness and integrity. Both judges are committed to justice and community service. Their appointments mark a significant change in the 11-member bench, with both bringing diverse legal backgrounds and a dedication to serving Gwinnett County. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Tom Wages (08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL) STORY 4: Gwinnett County Residents Urged to Drive Safely During Holiday Season Georgia State Patrol Troopers and Motor Carrier Compliance officers are increasing patrols on interstates and state roads this holiday season to enhance driver safety. Colonel Billy Hitchens, Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, emphasized preventing serious crashes by targeting unsafe driving and enforcing traffic laws. Last Christmas, Georgia saw 589 crashes, 335 injuries, and 11 fatalities, with nine fatalities during New Year’s. These statistics highlight the need for safe driving. Gwinnett drivers are urged to obey speed limits, stay alert, and arrange for sober transportation. Impaired drivers will face arrest, warns Hitchens.

On December 3rd, 1971, India and Pakistan go to war on two fronts, battling for the future of Bangladesh. In the East, the Indian army races against time, hoping to capture Dacca and force a Pakistani surrender before the United Nations can demand a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger unleash a fusillade of diplomatic pressure to frighten a defiant Indira Gandhi into compliance. After months of imprisonment, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman learns what has happened to his country. The war ends, and a new era begins. SOURCES: Bass, Gary K.

Fewer people in the world had access to the personal moments experienced by Steve Wasserman, Heyday Books publisher, former LA Times Book Review editor and former editor at several of the nation’s most prominent book publishing houses. In his latest book, “Tell Me Something, Tell Me Anything, Even If It's a Lie,” he details his close encounters with a handful of some of the most significant people in the 20th century, including Jackie Kennedy, Susan Sontag, Christopher Hitchens, Gore Vidal, Barbra Streisand, Huey Newton and others. Wasserman describes these accounts, or portraits, as focusing on people who “inspired me to do what I could, however modestly, to live a life of passionate engagement.” From the intimate details of a lunch with Jackie O to a deathbed conversation with writer and journalist Hitchens, Wasserman features a multitude of essays that cover a range of issues from politics to literature to culture and life. One memory of Wasserman included how he “never experienced Susan Sontag as a hostage to nostalgia.” Wasserman found inspiration in that and thought “it was a great, great lesson not to become pickled in your own prejudices such that you couldn't be open to the world.” Scheer attests that these portraits are brilliant, especially when dealing with controversial figures. He tells Wasserman, “These are famous intellectuals, but you humanize them, and you involve your own criticism.”

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
There is no magic formula to making the perfect decision every time, but there are philosophical principles, or "razors," you can use to pare down your options and see your problem more clearly. These razors can cut through the clutter of complexity and help us see the forest for the trees. And while they weren't designed with parents in mind, they can come in pretty handy! Starting with the most famous, Occam's Razor, we discuss how paring away unlikely hypotheticals leads to the most accurate solutions. Next, we delve into Hanlon's Razor, which reminds us to avoid attributing malicious intent when there's a simpler explanation. This principle can help us avoid unnecessary conflict and foster understanding, especially in relationships. Then we discuss Hitchens' Razor, which places the burden of proof on the person making the claim. This can be a valuable tool for evaluating arguments and avoiding baseless assertions. We also explore Chesterton's Fence, which encourages us to be cautious about changing things without understanding their original purpose. But that's not all. Listen to the episode to hear the rest, and let us know your own rules for clearer thinking!

On March 25th, 1971, President Yahya Khan launches Operation Searchlight in East Pakistan, a brutal military crackdown intended to snuff out Bengali separatism and restore West Pakistani authority. Meanwhile, an American diplomat in Dacca named Archer Blood begins reporting and documenting the slaughter, hoping to convince his government to step in and restrain Yahya. In Washington, D.C., President Richard Nixon and his national security advisor Henry Kissinger weigh the political costs of intervening in the atrocities, while secretly planning a groundbreaking outreach to Communist China.

America will soon have a president who laughs easily and a humorous vice president, leading what will be the most progressive and joyful administration in American history. Kamala Harris made a strong choice by selecting beloved football coach, former teacher, and Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate. This move unites the Democrats' Big Tent coalition, which has historically won them the White House. Walz's heartfelt and straightforward approach won him a U.S. House seat in a rural Republican district and re-election as governor of Minnesota, where he used a slim Democratic majority to achieve bold progressive victories: strengthening LGBTQ+ protections to make Minnesota a refuge for trans people; committing to decarbonization by 2040; protecting reproductive healthcare; significantly reducing child poverty; implementing automatic voter registration; strengthening gun safety laws; signing into law free school meals and free public college; banning forever chemicals known as PFAS; calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal early; and much more. Harris reportedly chose Walz to collaborate on advancing a progressive national agenda, and his humor is an added bonus. Walz won hearts across America by labeling MAGA as “weird,” because it is. His famous charm will destroy J.D. Vance, a fascist tool of dark lord Peter Thiel. Harris and Walz are roughly the same age, which means, if we hold on tight, we could have eight years of President Harris followed by eight years of President Walz, strengthening America's future as we build a sustainable economy for all, especially for the planet. *** You think modern women have it tough now? Not too long ago, in 2007, Christopher Hitchens wrote an essay for Vanity Fair titled, “Why Women Aren't Funny.” In it, he argued, “Whereas women, bless their tender hearts, would prefer that life be fair, and even sweet, rather than the sordid mess it actually is. Jokes about calamitous visits to the doctor or the shrink or the bathroom, or the venting of sexual frustration on furry domestic animals, are a male province.” In his view, women are precious baby-making machines, and that power forces them into being a solemn presence–a reserved audience for men, who have evolved with the purpose of making society laugh. Today, a woman vice president of the United States is the second most powerful person in the world. And the most that her enemies can come up with is that she laughs too much and has never given birth. The slim pickings of criticism of Kamala Harris by MAGA are as thin as Hitchens' arguments, and they all boil down to misogyny that will be relegated to history books. That era was defined by the reign of “the rape joke king” Tucker Max, bestselling author of the book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, in case you've blocked him out of your memory. Coming of age during that time, a group of childhood girlfriends decided to create their own satire of this misogynistic hellscape, Betches Media. Joining us this week on Gaslit Nation to make sense of the war on women, past and present, and what to do about it is Sami Sage, co-founder of Betches Media and co-author, along with Emily Amick of the popular civic-action Instagram account Emily in Your Phone, Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and Our Lives. This conversation was recorded during one of the darkest weeks in American democracy: the Republican National Convention. As they say, it's aways darkest before the dawn. Much has changed since then, but this conversation with Sami Sage remains as current as ever as we celebrate the opening words of the Gaslit Nation Action Guide: Democracy is a lifestyle. That's the only way we ensure the first Black woman president, and secure our democracy in the critical years to come.

In the wake of the deadly Bhola Cyclone, 50 million Pakistanis go to the polls on December 7th, 1970 and cast their votes in a national election, which yields unexpected and destabilizing results. As the emergent factions fight for control of Pakistan's nascent democracy, the political process slowly disintegrates and the gulf between East and West Pakistan becomes irreconcilable.

The New Yorker contributing writer Antonia Hitchens calls Tyler Foggatt from Milwaukee to offer some details and observations from the first night of the Republican National Convention, at which Donald Trump was formally nominated to be the G.O.P.'s 2024 Presidential nominee. An assassination attempt on the former President over the weekend only heightened the messianic feeling that surrounds Trump, and gave a strange poignancy to the anointing of J. D. Vance as Trump's running mate and the potential next leader of the MAGA movement, Hitchens says. This week's reading: “Trump, Unity, and MAGA Miracles at the R.N.C.,” by Antonia Hitchens “A Nation Inflamed,” by David Remnick “Why Donald Trump Picked J. D. Vance for Vice-President,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells To discover more podcasts from The New Yorker, visit newyorker.com/podcasts. To send feedback on this episode, write to themail@newyorker.com.
