On October 7th, Iris Chaim's son Yotam Chaim was taken hostage by Hamas. For weeks, she held onto hope that he was alive. In an unbelievable turn of events, Yotam escaped captivity - only to be tragically killed by the IDF after being mistaken for a terrorist. In this deeply emotional conversation, Iris and her son Tuval Chaim share how their family faced unimaginable loss and chose a path of faith, resilience, and forgiveness instead of anger. Iris & Tuval opens up about his own struggle with grief, the anger he felt after his brother's death, and how he ultimately channeled that pain into music, healing, and purpose - continuing Yotam's legacy. Together, they tell a powerful story about October 7th, hostages, trauma, hope, and the strength of the Jewish spirit - and how one family turned tragedy into a mission to bring unity, healing, and light to the world.Help the Chaim's org here: https://bit.ly/4suDNL8✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► The Dream Raffle: Win a $1.2 Million Apartment in Jerusalem (LAST CHANCE!)Help beautiful causes and also walk away with keys to a gorgeous - fully furnished - apartment in Jerusalem (if you win!)Use PROMO code: INSPIRE for $10 OFF + DOUBLE Tickets→ http://bit.ly/4nUg7gV► Wheels To Lease: #1 Car Company For over 35 years, Wheels To Lease has offered stress-free car buying with upfront pricing, no hidden fees, and door-to-door delivery. → CALL/TEXT: 718-871-8715 → EMAIL: inspire@wheelstolease.com → WEB: https://bit.ly/41lnzYU → WHATSAPP: https://wa.link/0w46ce ► BitBean: Smart Custom Software Built for YouYaakov here.

“The more you unpack something—or uncork it—the less power it holds over you.” In this powerful episode of Uncorking a Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with cultural and medical anthropologist Mimi Nichter, whose new memoir Hostage revisits the harrowing 1970 hijacking that changed her life forever. Now a professor emerita and award‑winning anthropologist, Mimi opens up about the 21 days she spent as a hostage in Jordan, how decades of silence shaped her identity, and why she finally chose to share her story more than 50 years later. This conversation dives deep into trauma, resilience, memory, and the healing power of storytelling—making it a must‑listen for memoir lovers, history buffs, and anyone fascinated by the inner mechanics of survival. Key Takeaways: How a 1970 hijacking led to the first use of airport metal detectors and reshaped air travel safety worldwide. Why Mimi kept the trauma silent for decades—and how cultural expectations around women's stories contributed to that silence. What it means to remember: Mimi's process of uncovering a long‑hidden box of artifacts and confronting the depth of her own memories. The surprising role of children in her survival during the hostage crisis, and how caring for them helped her manage fear. Trauma, resilience, and healing: why writing Hostage became an emotional but liberating journey. How reconnecting with fellow hostages 50 years later reopened conversations and fostered communal healing. Why her memoir matters now, in a world where hostage‑taking remains tragically relevant.

There are a lot of lies homeschool moms believe about their exhaustion. That they need a better curriculum. A tighter schedule. More discipline. But most of the time, the real answer goes much deeper than that. If you started this week with a cold cup of coffee, a house that doesn’t look like the ones on Pinterest, and a quiet voice in your head telling you you’re not doing enough — this episode is for you. Because that voice? It’s not telling you the truth. And the exhaustion you’re carrying? It’s not actually about the laundry. In this first episode of the Perfectionist to Present series, we’re pulling back the curtain on something most homeschool moms never talk about openly: the way perfectionism masquerades as responsibility — and slowly drains everything. What This Episode Is About: The Lies Homeschool Moms Believe This is a story. Several of them, actually. Because the truth about perfectionism — where it comes from, what it costs, and why it feels so hard to let go — can’t really be taught. It has to be recognized. And sometimes the fastest way to recognize something in yourself is to hear it in someone else’s story first. In this episode, you’ll hear about: A handmade circus tent (yes, really) and what it was actually about An eight-months-pregnant moment of abandonment and bone-deep exhaustion that cracked something open A Monday morning homeschool meltdown — the kind where you hear yourself yelling and wonder who that person is The childhood moment that quietly shaped decades of people-pleasing, peace-keeping, and proving And the first, small shift that made everything else possible The Thing Nobody Tells You About Perfectionism Most of us were never taught that perfectionism is a coping strategy. We were taught it was a personality trait — maybe even a virtue. She’s so detail-oriented. She has such high standards. She really cares. But here’s what’s underneath it: a belief, usually formed early and reinforced often, that your worth has to be earned. That if the house is clean enough, the birthday party elaborate enough, the homeschool schedule rigorous enough — then maybe you’ll finally feel like you’re enough. The exhausting part isn’t the circus tent. It’s the equation. If I do enough → I am enough. That equation is a lie. And it will run you into the ground before it ever delivers on its promise. For the Homeschool Mom Specifically There’s something uniquely brutal about perfectionism in the homeschool context. Because you’re not just managing a home — you’re also the educator, the curriculum director, the activity coordinator, the emotional regulator, and often the person holding the whole family’s nervous system together. The bar is invisible and always moving. And when Monday morning arrives and the kids are bickering, and the coffee is cold, and you snap — the perfectionist doesn’t just feel frustrated. She feels like she has failed. Like she is the problem. She isn’t. But it takes a while to see that clearly. This episode is the beginning of seeing it clearly. A Note on What This Series Is (And Isn’t) This month, we’re exploring four interconnected themes: Week 1 — Perfectionism: what it is, where it lives, and what it’s costing you (you’re here) Week 2 — The cost of keeping the peace: what years of self-erasure actually produce Week 3 — What coming back to yourself actually looks like Week 4 — Why you don’t have to do this alone (dropping the same day as our live retreat) Each episode will name something real. It won’t hand you a system. It will hand you a mirror — and maybe, if the timing is right, a door. Quotes Worth Sitting With “This isn’t about lowering your standards or caring less. It’s about caring about the right things.” “I was trying to silence that inner voice that told me I wasn’t good enough — a voice that had been shaped by harsh words from my childhood.” “I couldn’t accept imperfection in my family members because I couldn’t accept it in myself.” “I felt abandoned at the very moment I needed support the most.” “Every fiber of me was spent.” “You don’t rest because you’re at your wits’ end. You rest because you’re human.” If This Episode Resonated With You The moment after an episode like this — when something has been named, and you feel it in your chest — is actually really important. Not to do anything with. Just to be in. If you want a gentle, guided space to stay in that moment a little longer, I created a free mini-retreat you can do from your own home. Designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself without needing to go anywhere, or have childcare, or do anything perfectly.

Mimi Nichter was an American teenager returning from a summer in Israel on September 6th, 1970 when the plane she was on was hijacked. She was then taken hostage. Until recently, she'd never shared what happened. With the release of her memoir, Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience, she sets the stage for how what happened to her has echoes in the news literally today. I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard about this flight hijacking. Now I can't forget it.

America's Operation Epic Fury and Israel's Roaring Lion were courageous feats that saved the world from a nuclear-armed Iran, the most dangerous state sponsor of terrorism. In today's episode, your Terrorist Therapist®, Carole Lieberman, M.D., takes you inside the Iran-America-Israel war: the secret intel for why it began when it did, why you can't negotiate with terrorists (except in some cases, like for the Israeli hostages), and more. Not all Iranians are dancing in the streets, some are crying on state TV over Khamenei's death.  But, Iran'sregime is like a wounded animal now, literally raising the Red Flag of Revenge and striking back ferociously at Israel and American bases in the Middle East. You will hear how this is backfiring. Jihadists are willing to die and become martyrs for Allah… but wait until they reach the afterlife and discover it's '72 white raisins'… not virgins. (You'll understand when you listen.) However, the biggest threat may not be in the Middle East, it's likely to be at home in America… when the terror cells, and their ‘useful idiots' wake up to avenge Iran. (www.terroristtherapist.com)

Holy identity crisis Batman! It's time to tumble into a brand-new season of Shoot the Hostage. This time, the theme is Identity and we're kicking off with Christopher Nolan's “grounded” take on the superhero genre, Batman Begins (2005). While Nolan was busy trying to convince the world that a billionaire in a rubber suit is grounded, we're here to ask the tough questions like why Christian Bale sounds like he's gargling gravel and how Liam Neeson ended up looking like a 90s street magician with a Fu Manchu complex. We'll be navigating the cinema of the mid-2000s, discussing whether Gary Oldman is just a collection of various chameleons in a trench coat and why Cillian Murphy seems to be the only person who realised he was actually in a comic book movie. We also look at the character identities of altruistic billionaires and wonder if Michael Caine is just playing everyone's favourite Tory father figure. In this episode, you can expect: Dan's reasons for choosing the theme of “Identity” We discuss the Darren Aronofsky Batman film that probably would have had Martha Wayne shooting up in crime alley. The croissant-based origins of the Batmobile. We revisit the dark days of 2005 when the Crazy Frog was the pinnacle of cultural achievement. Debate regarding the physics of a water vaporiser that somehow ignores the fact that humans are made of mostly water. We discuss why Christopher Nolan films are best enjoyed at 3pm on a Sunday with very specific speakers. The sliding doors moment in this movie with Joe Chill in the courthouse.

How do you make a sexual slavery Ariel Castro story compelling and, uh, not gross? You hire Daniel Roebuck and remind Ronnie and Jazz of that time he portrayed Jay Leno in The Late Shift. "Hostage" is basically what would happen if instead of holding late night television hostage Leno did it to three girls. Ronnie kept kicking this one down the schedule but Criminal Minds should've just led with "unsub Jay Leno".

What happens when you snap at your kids — and then spend the rest of the day punishing yourself for it? That's the homeschool mom inner critic. And it's running your days more than you realize. That's not a homeschooling problem. That's not a patience problem. And it’s not even a bad day problem. It’s the homeschool mom inner critic loop — and it's running your homeschool (and your life) more than you realize. This month's focus is Nurturing the Nurturer — because the voice telling you you're not enough didn't start with homeschooling. It started long before. And until you see it clearly, it's going to keep driving your days. What You’ll Discover in This Episode Teresa shares the morning that cracked everything open for her — and what she finally understood sitting at the end of her bed, depleted, questioning whether she was cut out for this audacious thing called home education. Because here's what we actually are beneath all of it. Beneath the functioning. Beneath the meals and the read-alouds and the lesson planning and the driving and the trying. We are women who chose something enormous — and who are doing it largely alone, largely unseen, largely without anyone stopping to ask how we're actually doing. Not how the kids are progressing. How WE are. The Homeschool Mom Inner Critic Loop React → Feel Bad → Criticize Yourself → React Again. That loop isn't just emotionally painful. It quietly fuels your mental load, drains your nervous system, and over time — this is the part that matters most — it erodes your trust in yourself. Every round through it, you collect more evidence that you're failing. That you're not enough. That everyone else has it together. And you start to believe it. The Voices Running The Show “If I stop, everything falls apart.” “I should be able to handle this.” “Other moms don't lose it like this.” “If I rest, I'm letting everyone down.” Sound familiar? Those aren't facts. They're a very convincing, very well-practiced story. And you can learn to interrupt it. What To Do In The Moment The difference between “this is hard” and “I am failing.” The Friend Test — one practical tool you can use the next time that critical voice starts. The four cookbook questions to ask yourself when that feeling of failure shows up. And why your feeling of failure isn't a verdict — it's information. The Four Cookbook Questions When the inner critic starts — don't spiral. Go back to the cookbook. What are you not getting enough of? What are you getting too much of? And what's the one thing — if you're really honest — you already know you need? What have you been ignoring that keeps showing up anyway? The Truth About The Homeschool Mom Inner Critic Learning to interrupt that harsh inner voice isn't about positive thinking or trying harder. It's about seeing the pattern clearly — and choosing something different. Your kids don't need you to be perfect. They need you present. But when the inner critic is running the show, you're not leading from presence. You're reacting from an old story that was never yours to begin with. You are overidentifying your responsibility to your kids — and underidentifying your responsibility to yourself. What is best for you is what is best for them. Join The Calm The Inner Critic Workshop Ready to go deeper? This month I'm hosting a 90-minute working session for homeschool moms who are tired of being so hard on themselves — moms who know they're beating themselves up constantly but don't know how to stop in the moment.

Send a textThis week it's just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you've ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.It's equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.No script.

Today we're in the company of a billionaire, a hostage negotiator and the most sought after screenwriter in the business.The screenwriter in question is Jack Thorne who's now turned his considerable talent to a brilliant TV adaptation of Lord of the Flies.Nicky Perfect says hostage negotiation is all about empathy, and less about talking than listening. And we'll be all ears as she tells us what we can all learn from the techniques police negotiators use.And we'll certainly be paying close attention to what Welsh born billionaire Michael Moritz has to say to us, about his own story, and his telling of the story of his family which is fascinating, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure. Also today the firefighter who spends his spare time being a Viking - and the Inheritance Tracks of Marian Keyes.

New York City’s socialist experiment is already hitting the wall. Zoran Mamdani admits he’s “forced” to raid the rainy day fund, tap retiree health reserves, and hike property taxes—after promising “free” everything and claiming only the ultra-wealthy would pay. Meanwhile, homelessness policy whiplash follows deadly winter street conditions, and even CNN can’t hide the economic reality as Kevin O’Leary shocks the panel. This is what happens when Marxist math meets real budgets.

Mimi Nichter was 20-years-old when she was on TWA flight 741 to JFK after spending her summer on a kibbutz in Israel. But her flight was hijacked and redirected to Jordan where passengers were held captive for six days in unimaginable conditions. Most were sent home, but Mimi, falsely accused of being an Israeli soldier, was held hostage along with 31 others. This is Mimi's story of survival and courage as she and the others hostages navigated the uncharted waters of how to stay alive and find their way home. #Hostage recounts Mimi's dramatic time as a hostage, her release, and the aftermath of when she returned home. She was never the same, plagued with terrifying memories and PTSD that has haunted her for much of her life. She backpacked across Africa and Asia trying to release the trauma, but it was only buried deep inside of her until finally, she wrote about it. "Hostage" is her gift to herself and others facing unimaginable circumstances and coming out a survivor. Please find my full conversation with #MimiNichter on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Retired agent Phil Andrew shares how his experience surviving one of the nation's first school shootings when he was a twenty-year-old college student impacted his FBI career as a hostage negotiator. Phil reviews a kidnapping case where he negotiated with a member of the terrorist organization behind the Mumbai attacks and a case where he attempted to broker the release of New York Times reporter David Rohde, who was being held captive for ransom by the Taliban in Afghanistan. These case reviews are examples of how Phil turned tragedy into purpose, dedicating his life to keeping communities safe. Phil served in the FBI for 21 years. He is currently a 2026 candidate for the United States Congress in Illinois's 9th Congressional District.

The search for Nancy Guthrie entered its twelfth day with the recovery of the case's first significant physical evidence and the deployment of the FBI's elite tactical unit to Tucson.FBI agents searching desert roadways in the Catalina Foothills recovered a pair of black latex gloves from the area surrounding Nancy's home. The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed the discovery. The gloves resemble those worn by the masked individual seen in doorbell camera footage and are being tested for DNA and fingerprints. The forensic question at the center of this evidence — whether the glove interior touched skin directly — will determine if investigators can extract a usable DNA profile.The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team arrived in Tucson Wednesday, a tactical unit deployed when hostage recovery operations may be necessary. The FBI has not commented on HRT's presence, but their deployment twelve days into a case with no confirmed proof of life signals investigators may believe a recovery scenario is possible.Doorbell footage is undergoing advanced analytics including AI-enhanced facial geometry mapping, technology that attempts to identify features through the ski mask fabric. Investigators are also pursuing retail purchase records for the Ozark Trail backpack, ski mask, gloves, and other items visible in the footage, cross-referencing sales across Tucson-area retailers to build a timeline leading to identification.TMZ received a third note Wednesday from someone claiming to know the kidnapper's identity and demanding one bitcoin for the information — a separate individual from the original ransom sender. The original ransom bitcoin wallet also showed its first activity, though the transaction's significance is unknown.The Pima County Sheriff's Department has not held a press briefing in nearly a week. Nancy Guthrie has a pacemaker, requires daily medication the sheriff himself has called potentially fatal to miss, and cannot walk fifty yards on her own. Both ransom deadlines have passed. No proof of life. No confirmed contact with whoever took her.

Lahav Harkov is the Senior Political Correspondent for Jewish Insider, formerly of the Jerusalem Post, and most importantly - a repeat offender on AAJ. She's here to answer all our current affairs questions, and some of our stupid questions too. We cover the potential of a war with Iran, an upcoming election in Israel (If you think American politics are crazy…), and the notorious Blue Square Superbowl ad that will save us all from antisemitism.

Sam is joined by Cole Clark and George Johnson for an episode that spirals straight into summer-camp chaos, led by a story that starts with a leader walking into a cabin to solve a problem and immediately realizing he has become the problem. From there, things only get wilder—near-disasters at the pool, well-meaning Bible knowledge shouted at the worst possible moment, a youth trip that goes sideways after midnight, a fishing lesson that turns into a biological hazard, and a sermon illustration that somehow ends with flashing lights and very real consequences. It's a nonstop run of camp legends, bad decisions, and moments that felt funny later… but absolutely did not in the moment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Robert Lustig—pediatric endocrinologist, bestselling author, and one of the clearest voices on what's happened to our food—joins host Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that feels equal parts wake-up call and real hope. Lustig explains why so much chronic disease isn't really “druggable” but foodable, how ultra-processed food quietly sabotages the mitochondria that power everything, and why the “calories in, calories out” story is the perfect industry shield. Along the way, he breaks down the eight internal “pathologies” that turn our bodies from a shiny red Corvette into a jalopy, shows why kids are paying the price first (from school lunches to baby food), and offers a simple way forward that doesn't require perfection—just a steady return to real food. Mentioned in the episode: Eat Real schools initiative (eatreal.org), Lustig's fiber project BioLumen and Monch-Monch (monchmonch.shop), the grocery-filter tool Perfact (perfact.co), plus his books Metabolical, Hacking of the American Mind, and Fat Chance.
