In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

— Master the Art of Emotional Intelligence in Just Weeks, Even if You've Struggled with It Your Entire Life! Do you find emotional misunderstandings at home or work derail your day? Are you overwhelmed by juggling personal growth with your professional demands and personal relationships? Do the nuances of empathy and emotional communication seem like a puzzle with too many missing pieces? If you answered "yes," you're not alone. Parents, business professionals, caregivers, and numerous others in your position have felt that same sense of overwhelm, yet the path to enhanced relationships and satisfying work-life balance is simpler than you might think. Valeria interviews Meg Colby — She is the author of THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MASTERY SERIES; "From Emotional Intelligence to Sacred Wisdom", "Mindful Women - Resilient Lives" and "Emotional Intelligence Mastery in Working With Death & Dying." For more than twenty-five years, Meg walked through the fire of her own emotional awakening. She didn't grow up knowing how to name her feelings, tend to them, or navigate the rich inner landscape that shapes how we love and who we become. Her emotional intelligence wasn't inherited or handed down — it was forged. What began as her own path toward healing slowly deepened into an understanding of how women lose touch with themselves, how old wounds quietly take hold, and how profound the shift can be when they finally turn inward and listen. As Meg learned to recognize, honor, and move with her emotions, a quiet truth emerged: countless women were carrying the same silent weight. That knowing changed everything. For years now, Meg has worked alongside women ready to soften the grip of old patterns — those longing for lives shaped by clarity, honesty, and a truer sense of self. Her approach is grounded, warm, and born of lived experience rather than theory alone. Through her writing, Meg invites readers into a gentler, wiser relationship with themselves. She believes emotional intelligence isn't about getting it right — it's about showing up, finding the courage to feel, and reclaiming the tender parts of us that have waited so long to be heard. When she's not writing or walking beside others on their journeys, Meg can be found in the quiet, meaningful corners of life — the ones that bring her joy, purpose, and a deeper kinship with what it means to be human.

Nicole Martin made history as Christianity Today's first Black female CEO — and took the hits that come with it. In this conversation: the backlash, Billy Graham's original vision, how the magazine is advancing and speaking into a polarized world, and why leadership is designed to kill you.

When I did this episode back in 22012 ut was because I got a ton of emails on an article called. 8 Personal Finance Lessons from Benjamin Franklin that was published on the very cool blog, The Art of Manliness. Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not. One thing for sure old Ben's advice seems … Continue reading →

We are drowning in advice and somehow more unsure of ourselves than ever. Austin Kleon returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about creativity, childhood, boredom, trust, and why the people who build meaningful lives often stop looking for instructions and start paying attention to what fascinates them. Drawing from his new book Don't Call It Art, Austin shares how his children taught him more about curiosity, imagination, and meaningful work than any creative writing class ever could. Ginny and Austin talk about John Holt, unschooling, screen culture, creative courage, and the surprising freedom that comes when you stop trying to control the future and start paying attention to what is right in front of you. This episode is a refreshing reminder that a fulfilling life is rarely built by following someone else's map. It grows from curiosity, wonder, and the willingness to see where the next step leads.

Most speakers prepare for their big talks, but very few actually train like athletes, and that's the gap holding them back from true mastery.   In this episode, I'm sharing why approaching your speaking like an athlete is the key to extraordinary performance and how the reps you do between big moments are exactly what make you extraordinary when it counts.   When you tune in, you'll discover: The crucial difference between preparing for a talk and training like an athlete Why staying in the reps through podcasts, panels, and smaller stages builds your voice as a muscle How to rehearse properly (hint: it's not in your head or reading notes—it's on your feet) The importance of protecting your instrument and organizing your assets like a pro Why conserving energy allows you to spend it extravagantly on stage More from Tricia  Claim your spot for my two-day virtual masterclass, The Art of The Big Talk Join me LIVE for my Complimentary Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Welcome to the June mailbag episode of Art Ed Radio! Host Tim Bogatz is joined by Amanda Heyn, AOE's Director of Community Engagement, to dive into listener questions that are hitting close to home for art teachers heading into summer. From navigating classrooms with wildly different skill levels to making the case to administration that your booming ceramics program needs more support, it's a fun and interesting conversation. They also tackle the difference between burnout and creative stagnation, why that distinction matters, as well as suggestions for working with talented students who just don't care.

If you've been told your labs look fine and something still feels off — this episode is going to explain why. And what you can actually do about it. Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist and FDN Practitioner Katie Hardie joins the Game On Girlfriend® podcast to break down why conventional lab ranges were never designed to tell you whether you're performing optimally. They were designed to catch problems once things have already gone wrong. For women entrepreneurs who have been managing everything, pushing hard, and wondering why the afternoon crashes, the midsection weight, and the middle of the night wake-ups aren't going anywhere — this conversation is for you. Katie and I talk about what chronic stress is actually doing inside your body while you're still crushing it on the outside, why layering more exercise and restriction on a stressed body tends to backfire, and what a functional approach to your health actually looks like in practice. If you feel like crap, good luck running a successful business.

Fifteen years ago, Ryan Stanier started cold-calling estate agents across London asking if he could borrow their empty shops for free.Most ignored him. One handed him the keys.That tiny pop-up became ArtBeat, then The Other Art Fair, one of the world's biggest artist-led fair movements, spanning London, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Sydney, Chicago, Melbourne, and beyond.But after more than a decade working closely with artists, Ryan kept hearing the same thing:Art fairs were becoming too expensive.Booth fees, shipping, framing, travel, marketing, logistics artists were taking enormous financial risks just to be visible.So, he decided to rebuild the model.In this episode, Ryan Stanier founder of The Other Art Fair and Fair Play opens up about the changing art world and the realities artists face behind visibility, pricing, and creative survival.We cover: The empty London storefront that started everything Why the art world believed artists “weren't good at business” The biggest mistakes artists make at fairs Why artists struggle to talk about pricing The heartbreaking thing Ryan still sees at exhibitions Why Fair Play removed booth fees completely The emotional connection between artists and collectors Why visibility in the art world still feels inaccessible How social media changed the art industry The artist Ryan still keeps on his wall years laterWhether you're an emerging artist, a collector, or someone trying to understand how the art world really works behind the scenes, this episode is a rare look at the systems shaping creative careers today. Pull up a chair. this conversation might change how you think about the art world.

What to listen for:"If you are not doing search and rescue for the right reasons, you need to look in the mirror. Because it is not about you, and it's not about your dog."Today, our hosts, Stacy Barnett and Robin Greubel, have set the dogs aside (mostly!) to talk about something that affects every handler who has ever posted a training video, shown up to a webinar, or scrolled too far down a comment thread. They're calling it the “toxicity tax,” and they've come to argue it's being paid at every level of the canine world, from nose work titling to search and rescue callouts.The online world, particularly on social media, strips away tone, facial expression, and social consequence, leaving text that people read with whatever emotional state they're already carrying.Robin references the book Don't Feed the Elephants! when she explains that “Avoidaphants” are everywhere in teams that have never sat down to agree on how they want to communicate.Stacy offers sport as a mirror for SAR. The moment you start watching other dogs instead of your own, you've already lost the run. Comparing your dog's time, your team's reputation, your cert against someone else's is a fast road to a distracted, ineffective search.The mission has to be bigger than the handler.Robin and Stacy agree that training is not a recipe. Dogs are individuals, methodology debates serve nobody, and a perfect run every time is evidence of stagnation.What serves the dog, and the missing person, is efficient, effective teamwork built inside a culture that gives grace when the wheels come off. Key Topics:●      Why We Eat Our Own: Social Media in the Canine Community (02:40)●      Staying Humble, Hungry, and Smart (08:32)●      Why Watching Other Dogs Costs You Your Own (15:29)●      Posting Mistakes: Safe Groups vs. the Public Feed (24:25)●      Principles Over Methodology (32:59)●      Constructive Feedback vs. Criticism (37:28)●      Coaching Someone Who's a Hot Mess (41:49)●      Protecting the Volunteer Pipeline (46:30) Resources:·      Don't Feed the Elephants: Overcoming the Art of Avoidance to Build Powerful Partnerships https://amzn.to/4wFYFlk (affiliate link)·      Be the Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate The Three Essential Virtues https://amzn.to/4tJq8jq (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

They cover his journey from electronic music obsession to designing immersive installations for places like Longwood Gardens and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, what it means to be creatively fulfilled by helping others realize their visions, and the 15-minute habit that reignited his own music after five years of silence. JG also previews his first new Remote Places track in nearly seven years.

Since the onset of digital imaging, there has been a distinctive swing toward the analogue "look," whether achieved through true analogue processes or digital simulations. The rise of AI has further muddied the waters, raising questions about what is real and what is simulacrum. I discuss all of this and more with my guest, Lev Manovich. Together, we explore what the future of photographic and artistic image-making may entail.Lev Manovich websiteLev's "Photography and Automation" TimelineLev Manovich artworkJean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation

When Clark Vogeler joined the Toadies in 1996, there was no way to imagine the band would still be going, selling out rooms across North America. Thirty years later, the veteran guitarist finds himself navigating a beautifully unpredictable landscape, touring behind The Charmer, a gritty, tough new LP recorded with the late, legendary Steve Albini. Sitting over pizza at The Art of Pizza in Chicago (3033 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60657), Vogeler reflects on how the band has defied time to become a cross-generational force. From old-school fans to teenagers crowding the front row, the Toadies are experiencing a career renaissance they never could have predicted decades ago.   Vogeler pulls back the curtain on the creative process behind the new material, including the dark, self-critical inner voice that inspired frontman Vaden Todd Lewis to write the album's title track as a way of making peace with his own creative friction.   Being an independent band in 2026 comes with freedom, a sharp contrast to the major label pressures the Toadies faced in the 1990s. By self-funding their studio time through relentless touring, the band completely owns their masters, ensuring their creative output stays entirely in their own hands. As they prepare to share the stage at the Vic Theatre with Local H, Vogeler chats about the camaraderie of the road, the enduring legacy of Steve Albini, and why age has absolutely nothing to do with making great, muscular rock and roll.   Featured Sponsor: Exploding House Printing Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery, and other merchandising needs.

Hey there, hero!I created this podcast episode moments after jumping off being a guest on Chris Barry's podcast, Coaching Uncovered.(You can find my episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOpiI02rjNI )He asked a very common question: how do you build your business?It's something my personal business coaches have been hounding me about for years, and it prompted me to share with you what I think should be the overarching approach to building a business: comfort. My go to phrase? “Whatever works for you.” And I think it probably applies to you as well.Once you've watched the episode, let me know: are you happy and at peace with how big your performance practice is?

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Teacup Dancers and Festival Dreams: A Spring Teahouse Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2026-06-02-22-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 在一个阳光明媚的春日下午，茶馆里弥漫着淡淡的茶香，顾客们在轻声交谈。En: On a sunny spring afternoon, the aroma of tea filled the teahouse, where customers were chatting quietly.Zh: 茶馆正在为即将到来的端午节做准备，五彩缤纷的装饰为这里增添了不少生气。En: The teahouse was preparing for the upcoming Duanwu Festival, and the colorful decorations added a lively touch to the place.Zh: 小明是个有点古怪但充满创意的年轻人。En: Xiaoming is a somewhat quirky but creative young man.Zh: 他想用舞蹈和诗歌打动茶馆的客人。En: He wanted to impress the teahouse guests with dance and poetry.Zh: Li是小明的好朋友，总是支持小明的梦想，但这次有些担心。En: Li is Xiaoming's good friend and always supports his dreams, though this time he was a bit worried.Zh: Chen是个常在茶馆里喝茶的安静顾客。他希望能在这里度过一个安宁的下午。En: Chen is a quiet customer who often drinks tea at the teahouse, hoping to spend a peaceful afternoon there.Zh: “小明，你确定这样做行得通吗？”Li疑惑地问。En: "Xiaoming, are you sure this will work?" Li asked doubtfully.Zh: “当然可以，Li! 艺术是灵魂的表达。”小明充满信心地回答。En: "Of course, Li! Art is the expression of the soul," Xiaoming replied with confidence.Zh: 小明手里握着一只珍贵的茶杯，准备开始他的表演。En: Holding a precious teacup in his hand, Xiaoming prepared to start his performance.Zh: 茶馆的顾客们停止了交谈，把目光投向舞台中央。En: The teahouse guests stopped talking and turned their gaze towards the center of the stage.Zh: 小明深吸了一口气，开始随着音乐舞动。En: Xiaoming took a deep breath and began to dance to the music.Zh: 起初，小明的动作还算流畅。En: At first, Xiaoming's movements were smooth.Zh: Li紧张地盯着他，而Chen则端起他的茶杯，看上去并不太在意。En: Li watched nervously, while Chen lifted his teacup, seemingly indifferent.Zh: 随着小明的舞步越来越复杂，茶杯在他的手中摇摇欲坠。En: As Xiaoming's dance steps became more complex, the teacup in his hand wobbled precariously.Zh: 顾客们屏住呼吸，注视着这场特别的表演。En: The guests held their breath, watching this special performance.Zh: 终于，到了最紧张的时刻，小明尝试一个旋转的动作。En: Finally, at the most tense moment, Xiaoming attempted a spinning move.Zh: 手中的茶杯晃动起来，几乎要掉落。En: The teacup swayed almost to the point of falling.Zh: 全场一片惊呼，Li心跳加速，忍不住捂住了眼睛。En: The audience gasped, Li's heart raced, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes.Zh: 在最后一刻，小明奇迹般地稳定住了茶杯。En: At the very last moment, Xiaoming miraculously stabilized the teacup.Zh: 虽然跌坐在地，但杯中一滴茶水也没有洒出。En: Although he ended up sitting on the floor, not a single drop of tea was spilled.Zh: 茶馆里爆发出一阵掌声。En: Applause erupted in the teahouse.Zh: Li松了一口气，快步走到小明身边查看他的情况。En: Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to check on Xiaoming.Zh: Chen放下茶杯，微微点了点头，对小明说：“大胆的尝试。En: Chen put down his teacup, nodded slightly, and said to Xiaoming, "A bold attempt.Zh: 不过，下次试试看多练习，可能会更好。”En: However, maybe try practicing more next time; it could be even better."Zh: 小明结结巴巴地笑了，En: Xiaoming laughed awkwardly.Zh: 虽然有些狼狈，但心中充满成就感。En: Although a little embarrassed, he felt a sense of achievement.Zh: 他意识到，除了创意，他还需要更多的练习。En: He realized that aside from creativity, he also needed more practice.Zh: 小明向Chen和Li表示感谢，然后看着茶馆里的其他顾客，心里暗自决定下次要表演得更好。En: Xiaoming thanked Chen and Li, then looked at the other teahouse guests, silently deciding to perform better next time.Zh: 于是，在这个春天的下午，小明学到了关于艺术和努力的新东西，而Chen也开始欣赏年轻人的热情和敢于冒险的精神。En: Thus, on this spring afternoon, Xiaoming learned something new about art and effort, and Chen started to appreciate the passion and adventurous spirit of the young man.Zh: 茶馆的气氛再度恢复宁静，但人们的心中仿佛留下了一抹春日的温暖和期待。En: The teahouse atmosphere returned to peace, but it seemed a touch of spring warmth and anticipation lingered in people's hearts.

Sisley Fraser - The Acne Nutritionist, holistic nutritionist, and one of the leading voices in functional skin health - joins Dr. Will Cole for a comprehensive, root-cause conversation on what acne is actually communicating and what to do about it. They cover the gut-skin axis, TCM face mapping, how acne timing in the menstrual cycle points to specific hormonal imbalances, the A1 vs. A2 dairy debate, phytoestrogenic foods as gentle estrogen modulators, xenoestrogens and the toxic bucket, why most people's skincare routines are making their acne worse, and the case for going pro-fruit. Sisley also shares her minimalist skincare protocol - including Manuka honey as a morning mask - and why the conventional "avoid all dairy, restrict everything" approach is creating more problems than it solves.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human. This week we explore 'The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity', with author and activist Sarah Schulman, who shares what she's learned from AIDS activism to Palestine. Description: What is “solidarity” and what does it require? Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today. In this episode, find out what role GRITtv, an earlier iteration of Flanders' show, played in the movement for Palestinian liberation, and hear a discussion of the Harlem artist Alice Neel. Schulman sits on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her non-fiction books include “Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” and “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993”. Also in this episode, a commentary from Laura on the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, a strategic progressive who practiced solidarity. “When I confronted the Israeli occupation of Palestine, something resonated for me emotionally between that and the AIDS experience. What I felt was similar was that people who were endangered were being falsely depicted as dangerous.” - Sarah Schulman “Right now we're in the middle of a cataclysm of fascism and there's no quick fix. And we have to understand that the idea that you can go in and just fix it is a supremacy concept.” - Sarah Schulman Guests:  Sarah Schulman, Writer & AIDS Historian; Author, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity   This show is made possible by you!
