Podcasts about Inconvenience

Gio vents about the lack of communication over capping the parade at two million, followed by a caller's story of 80-year-old women in Knicks dancer outfits at The Villages. An NYPD officer calls in to brand the parade a disaster, before Jerry's final update highlights Jalen Brunson thanking fans. Plus, the Moment of the Day brings a golfer's "Blow Pig" nickname, and the week wraps up with "Cashmere" Keith Mitchell's US Open performance.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation about the perils of modern day "conveniences" that was originally broadcast on WNYC's program "Theater of War - On the Radio" back on April 30, 2026. We are thrilled to share this recording of the third installment of the Theater of War's new live call-in radio series. In the show, two actors, Adepero Oduye and Jumaane Williams, offer a sensitive and poetic performance of a new essay written by Hanif Abdurraqib for The New Yorker entitled “Our Longing for Inconvenience.” The performance sparked an intimate and moving conversation with listeners about the ephemerality of connection and memory in our digital era. We heard about many strategies for cultivating patience and consciousness in order to stay present with ourselves and others in a world of constant distractions. Learn more at https://theaterofwarproductions.substack.com/p/our-longing-for-inconvenience-listen Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org

We have spent years pulling friction out of healthcare. That work is right and it should keep going. This week Reed Smith and Chris Boyer come at it from the other side and ask what the friction that remains is trying to tell us. The frame comes from Jon Acuff, who argues that the size of the inconvenience a person will tolerate points to what they actually value. Aim that at patients and the data gets more honest than any survey. A patient who drives forty minutes past three closer hospitals for a specific surgeon is showing you a commitment you could never manufacture. A patient who hits a wall of hold music and no-shows rather than fight through it is showing you something too. The first is loyalty. The second is a system breaking in a way the industry keeps logging as patient disengagement. One thing complicates the read. Tolerance only counts as a signal when the patient had a choice. The drive past closer options can be a referral lock, a narrow network, a single in-network plan or rural geography with no second door. Read that patient as loyal and you let an access failure pass as a win. Then Reed and Chris flip the lens onto the organization. The initiatives that survive a budget cycle or a leadership change tend to be the ones where someone absorbed real organizational pain on purpose. Most good ideas in healthcare don't fail because they were wrong. They stall because the inconvenience of doing them outran the conviction behind them. In this episode, Chris and Reed cover: Why a patient's tolerance for friction reads more honestly than a satisfaction score The line between the friction tax you impose and the friction patients accept on purpose When loyalty is really a captured patient with no alternative The four inconveniences that quietly kill good initiatives inside a health system How to score an initiative's inconvenience against the commitment behind it If purpose shows up in what you're willing to put up with, your roadmap already knows which bets you believe in.

In this message, Pastor Alvin unpacks the Parable of the Talents and makes one thing clear: what God has given you isn't just for you. His power is His property, and He's entrusted it to us with a real expectation. Not a suggestion. An expectation. And how we steward what He's placed in us has eternal consequences. Drawing from Matthew 25, John 7, and more, Pastor Alvin challenges us to stop waiting for living waters to flow to us and start letting them flow from us. Because that's what true belief looks like. Faith isn't just what keeps us calm under pressure. It's what keeps us moving. And the power of the Holy Spirit is what makes the whole journey possible. So here's the question: Are you a fan of Jesus, or have you walked His path? Scripture references: Matthew 25:14-30 John 15:16 Hosea 4:6 Ezekiel 3:18 John 7:38-39 Matthew 10:16-22 1 Corinthians 14:4 We'd love to hear from you!

Seven ordinary people did what needed to be done in a moment of crisis — and it fuelled a movement that's still going almost 2000 years later. In this message, we walk through one of the most overlooked stories in Acts — a story about jail breaks, jealous priests, a food distribution problem, and a group of believers who simply said yes when something needed doing. We also unpack a few more of the convictions that shape everything we do for the next generation, including why we anchor our faith in the resurrection rather than just the Bible, and why our goal has never been to raise believers — but followers. This is the week we make the ask. Will you inconvenience yourself for something greater than yourself?

Finding yourself after years of putting everyone else first isn't a straight path and Kayley knows that better than most. In this clip, she gets real about what it actually felt like to be a stay-at-home mom of seven while quietly carrying a dream she didn't think she was allowed to have. She opens up about the depression, the identity loss, the guilt, and the slow, hard work of building a marriage that actually goes both ways. What she discovered along the way? The biggest obstacle was never the logistics. It wasn't the kids, the schedule, or even the MCAT. It was believing she was worth inconveniencing her family for. That's the self-compassion work no one talks about, the daily habit of reminding yourself that your needs, your goals, and your growth matter too. If you've ever talked yourself out of something because it felt selfish, or if personal development has felt more like a luxury than a necessity, this one's for you. Because how you feel about yourself shapes everything…your marriage, your happiness, your ability to keep going on the hard days. https://www.aboutprogress.com/blog/how-do-you-get-into-medical-school-as-a-busy-mom ⁠Preorder Sticky Habits ⁠⁠book today! ⁠⁠Leave a rating and review⁠⁠ ⁠Get the free DSL Training⁠.

Too often, we treat inconveniences like emergencies — and it creates unnecessary stress, anxiety, and emotional chaos in our daily lives.I explore the important distinction between true emergencies and everyday inconveniences, inspired by a recent reflection from author and poet Cleo Wade.I discuss: Why our minds default to worst-case thinking How modern work culture treats everything like a crisis The difference between urgency and actual emergencies Why reframing challenges helps create clarity Real examples of emergencies from my life and work on The Arbiters How this mindset shift has helped me approach stress differently Why perspective is one of the most valuable tools we haveThere's a huge difference between: “We have a presentation tomorrow” and “People are in danger.” One is stressful. One is an emergency. Learning to distinguish between the two can completely change how we respond to challenges, solve problems, and show up for ourselves and others.If you've been overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or constantly feeling like everything is on fire, I hope this episode helps reframe things in a healthier and more grounded way.

In this solo episode, Alissa explores one of the most deeply ingrained patterns she sees in highly sensitive people: the belief that having needs makes you a burden.For HSPs, this is a story that gets built early, when your emotional reactions were “too big”, when your needs felt different from everyone else's, and when the people around you responded with frustration instead of understanding. That story then follows you into adulthood, into relationships, and even into restaurants where you over-apologize to the waitress for ordering plain chicken.You'll Learn:Why HSPs are especially vulnerable to good girl conditioning and how it shows up in relationships, work, and healthWays you may be getting something out of being the over-apologizing, people pleaser that ends up keeping you stuck. How your triggers in moments of self-advocacy are actually your best opportunities to build self-worthWhat it means to expand your tolerance for discomfort so other people's reactions stop running the showWhy letting people help you, and asking for what you need, is a signal of openness, not weaknessUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

Today I had a guest on who decided to remain anonymous, though through his stories you can learn a lot about who he is and what he believes. He produces incredible videos on tiktok of his travels: raw, honest, digestible. His TikTok is https://www.tiktok.com/@gcvvgcvvgcvv?_r=1&_t=ZP-96nVYBwioxi if you want to check it out. We had a pretty excellent conversation, speaking about religion, global politics/influence, and so many personal stories. From Africa, China, and the Stans, to declining Europe and the very livable Latam - we covered a lot of the world. I am really happy to have had the conversation today, and I hope you all enjoy. 

"Anything will work again, as long as you unplug it long enough, even you." This simple principle serves as the heartbeat for reclaiming a life dedicated to authentic human depth. In a world optimized for digital efficiency and "frictionless" convenience, the true currency of a meaningful life remains the unscalable power of independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Ashleigh Spiliopoulou explores the growing cultural movement of "Friction Maxing" — the intentional reintroduction of effort, inconvenience, and presence into our daily routines. Ashleigh shares insights from her month-long experiment with deliberate inconvenience, including rawdogging a 24-hour flight to Australia and ditching her headphones on daily runs. Together, the conversation dives into the rise of mainstream AI infiltration, the psychological dangers of AI Psychosis and FOBO (Fear Of Becoming Obsolete), and why healthy friction is ultimately the secret weapon for nervous system regulation, creative clarity, and deep human connection.   10 Memorable Quotes: "In a world of frictionless design, what if we friction maxed a couple things to add a little bit of meaning back into life?" "The more efficient and outsourced we get through really well-designed technology, the more it feels like life is kind of evaporating from us." "Why would I think for myself when AI could think for me?" "Frictionless isn't bad in every scenario." "The process was so beautiful, and then the result was so satisfying." "AI has so much potential and brilliance for so many areas of our lives, but it shouldn't be designed to replace our brain." "It's not necessarily teaching people something new. It's reminding them, this is how you used to live." "First we need to unlearn." "It's rebellious. It's so fun." "Anything will work again, as long as you unplug it long enough, even you." 10 Key Takeaways: The Origin of Friction Maxing: Exploring Catherine Jezer-Morton's January 2026 article in The Cut magazine that sparked a mainstream conversation on adding intentional effort to life. The Falsehood of Frictionless Relationships: Reflecting on Esther Perel's cultural work and how eliminating interpersonal friction directly fuels the loneliness epidemic. The Threat of Cognitive Decay: How outsourcing daily thought processes to technology results in a tangible feeling of your brain disintegrating. Understanding AI Psychosis: Confronting the psychological danger of over-trusting automated companions until you completely lose trust in your own mind. Dismantling FOBO: Analyzing the "Fear Of Becoming Obsolete" and how surrendering creativity and discernment to AI attacks our baseline human self-worth. The No-Headphone Run: Why leaving audio stimulation at home forced a deeper focus on surroundings, leading to a fresher, more imaginative brain. The Gesture of Friendship: How exchanging a frictionless voice note for a handwritten letter to Boston reestablished a visceral, emotional sense of connection. Rawdogging a Flight: The profound creative clarity that emerged from enduring a 24-hour flight to Australia completely detached from movies, podcasts, or Wi-Fi. Unlearning for a 180 World: Recognizing that surviving the modern technological landscape requires us to actively unlearn automatic habits to relearn how to think. Architected Attention: Understanding that tech companies deliberately engineer frictionless designs solely to fork over your attention, money, and will. About our Guest: Ashleigh Spiliopoulou is a freelance journalist and health writer specializing in women's health, travel, and culture.

Do you store your cups upright or upside down in the cupboard? That sparks a surprisingly heated debate, along with fantasy casting themselves as the main character in any show, and revealing the most famous person they could call who would actually pick up. They also get into the pettiest, least valuable thing you could steal to completely inconvenience someone for a day, and share their oddly specific niche group memberships — from “Brown Photographers Under 5'6” to “Church-Going Cheesecake Lovers.”

A frustrating morning over a car's internet outage turned into a powerful wake-up call when I arrived at a charity tournament and heard a mother speak about losing her child to a rare, 100% fatal brain disease. That moment, along with a friend losing a twin and another watching his brother fade, forced me to get brutally honest with myself: most of what I was calling problems were nothing more than inconveniences. In this episode, I break down the difference between real problems and inconveniences, and give you a practical framework to reframe your situation and find the light even in your darkest moments. Key Takeaways If your health and safety are not at risk, it is not a problem — it is an inconvenience. If money can solve it, it is not a true problem because a solution exists. There is always something good inside a bad situation — even when your mind defaults to "nothing is good here." Many so-called problems disappear entirely when you simply stop giving them energy and attention. Looking back at frustrating moments often reveals the real source of your emotions had nothing to do with the situation itself. Action Steps When you feel overwhelmed by a situation, pause and ask yourself: "Is my health or safety actually at risk?" If not, relabel it as an inconvenience and stop feeding it problem-level energy. In any bad situation, force yourself to identify at least one thing that is genuinely good — this breaks the mental spiral and opens the door to reframing your direction. After you work through a tough moment, reflect on what was really driving your frustration. Chances are the surface issue was covering something deeper, and recognizing that shows you how much better off you truly are. Notable Quote If you close your eyes as tight as you can, light still finds its way through — it is the same thing with problems. There is always something good.

Join WNYC and Theater Of War for a series of programs hosted by Kai Wright and TOW artistic director Bryan Doerries that re-imagine works of journalism in innovative and engaging ways, including performances by acclaimed actors.  Actors Adepero Oduye (12 Years a Slave, Pariah, The Big Short) and Jumaane Williams (NYC Public Advocate) performed “Our Longing for Inconvenience,” a recent essay written by Hanif Abdurraqib for The New Yorker. The essay helped kick off a conversation with WNYC listeners about “falling in love the old fashioned way” in a world mediated by phones and apps. We explored the tension between our desire for convenience and the friction of older technologies — like Walkmans, disposable cameras, and VCRs — that transport us back to less distracted, seemingly more authentic, times. And we talked about strategies for staying present and resisting the allure of instant gratification to feel more alive.

Series: To the Ends of the Earth

Lately, more people have been gravitating towards outdated technology, like Walkman, VHS tapes, record players, and more. What is behind this drive towards old tech? Is it nostalgia, or a desire to disconnect? Hanif Abdurraquib, contributing writer for The New Yorker, discusses his new piece "Our Longing for Inconvenience," and listeners share what outdated technology they have included in their own lives.

In this preparatory message delivered just before the Billy Burke Miracle Healing Crusade, Pastor Rhonda Davis at Church of the Harvest speaks on the divine mechanics of breakthroughs. Drawing from the biblical account of the widow and the jars of oil, she explores how God uses our "empty places" as the very containers for His extraordinary provision. Key Highlights Making Room for the Extraordinary: Pastor Rhonda emphasizes that miracles require space. Whether it's the physical vessel of the church building or the spiritual vessel of our hearts, we must intentionally "make room" for God to move. The Inconvenience of the Divine: Recounting stories of missionaries staying in her childhood home, Pastor Rhonda notes that anointing often comes with inconvenience. Making space for God may disrupt our schedules, but the visitation is always worth the cost. The "Now" Moment: Addressing the crisis of the widow in 2 Kings 4, Pastor Rhonda explains that God isn't interested in just discussing the past. He meets us in the raw, authentic "now" of our desperation. Childlike Expectation: Using the story of a young girl bringing an umbrella to a prayer meeting for rain, she challenges the congregation to increase their "expectation trigger." Logic is good, but faith must remain creative and expectant. The Power of Shutting the Door: A critical step in the widow's miracle was shutting the door behind her. Pastor Rhonda explains that we must "shut the door" on critics, mourners, and the voices of doubt to allow the oil of the Spirit to flow. The Widow's Miracle: A Spiritual Framework Step Action Spiritual Principle 1 Cry Out Authenticity is the beginning of the miracle. Don't dress up your mess. 2 Identify What You Have God starts with what you have (the "little oil"), not what you lack. 3 Gather Empty Vessels God doesn't just add to what is full; He fills what is emptied out. 4 Shut the Door Protect your miracle from outside critics and "mourners." 5 Start Pouring Obedience is the active container for the miracle. Pour before you see the multiplication. Core Message: Extraordinary Grace for Empty Places Pastor Rhonda thunders a word of encouragement to those feeling "void" or "without form." Just as the Spirit hovered over the darkness in Genesis, God has extraordinary grace for the empty places in our lives. "Don't curse the empty places. Don't let them mock you. Every time that empty place tries to get your focus, start saying to the Lord: 'I know you are the God who fills this. You've done it before, and You will do it again.'" Scriptures Mentioned Habakkuk 1:5: "Watch and be utterly amazed... I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told." 2 Kings 4:1-7: The story of the widow's oil and the empty jars. Genesis 1:1-3: The Spirit hovering over the void before creation. Ezekiel 16:6: "And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you... 'Live!'" Closing Challenge: Bring Your Umbrella As the church prepares for a week of healing services, Pastor Rhonda leaves the congregation with a final image: the "Red Umbrella." She urges everyone to live with an active expectation of a "suddenly," believing that the oil of God's provision will never run dry as long as there is an empty vessel ready to receive it.

My program : Let's read a Japanese novel 1️⃣ Short English Summary：In this episode, Noriko talks about “luxury time” and “analog experiences” in our modern digital world.She begins by sharing a recent visit to the cinema in Liverpool. The tickets and popcorn were expensive, and the movie itself was not very good. However, she realized that watching a film without checking her smartphone for two hours felt like a luxury.Noriko reflects on what “luxury” means today. For her, luxury is not expensive hotels or restaurants, but cultural experiences such as going to museums, concerts, events, or reading quietly in a café.She also talks about analog choices in a digital world. Because we are constantly connected to smartphones, the internet, and AI, many people feel information fatigue. Noriko shares how she limits her social media time and tries to reconnect with slower, more intentional experiences.For example, one of her students built a mechanical analog watch, and her husband started wearing a traditional watch again to check the time during meetings without using his phone.Noriko also joined two meetups in Liverpool: a Quiet Book Club and a philosophy discussion group. Although she is introverted, meeting people face-to-face felt refreshing and meaningful.She concludes that choosing slightly inconvenient, analog experiences—like going to the cinema, reading books, or meeting people in person—may actually be a modern form of luxury.2️⃣ Vocabulary List (for understanding the episode)贅沢（ぜいたく） — luxury文化的（ぶんかてき） — cultural特別展示（とくべつてんじ） — special exhibition情報（じょうほう） — information情報疲れ（じょうほうづかれ） — information fatigue悪循環（あくじゅんかん） — vicious cycle制限する（せいげんする） — to limit / control腕時計（うでどけい） — wristwatch部品（ぶひん） — parts / components組み立てる（くみたてる） — to assemble通知（つうち） — notification便利（べんり） — convenient不便（ふべん） — inconvenient確認する（かくにんする） — to check / confirm集まる（あつまる） — to gather実際に（じっさいに） — in reality / in person新鮮（しんせん） — fresh / new feeling体験（たいけん） — experience傾向（けいこう） — tendency選ぶ（えらぶ） — to choose

Marci and I are back and this one covers a lotttt of ground. We're talking about why you should stop apologizing for asking for what you need.. whether that's packing your own food for a flight or making a specific request at a restaurant. You're allowed. We also got into simple meals and how even basic food can feel like a full experience when you pay attention to texture, temperature, and flavor, the reason so many people are addicted to chaos, why being bored is actually good for you, and the power of pausing before you react to a feeling or thought. Lots of good stuff in this one.

Today's QOTD: what minor inconvenience they absolutely hate the most.

Farah Naz Rishi is a busy do-er with fingers in many creative pies. She's worked as a lawyer, a video-game journalist, a voice actor and is a bestselling author. Farah has written memoir, 'Sorry for the Inconvenience', which details her experience as a Pakistan-American Muslim Woman, also has published many Young Adult books, including 'If You're Not The One', and 'It All Comes Back to You'.Now, Farah has published, 'The Flightless Birds of New Hope'. Here's the blurb...We follow Aden Shah—who has made a career of running away when things get hard— as he reunites with his estranged siblings in the wake of their parents' death. Tensions flare. And in a single moment of resentment, Aden sets free their parents' favorite “child”: their prize-winning Major Mitchell's cockatoo, Coco Chanel. What follows is a reluctant, chaotic road trip in a beat-up RV as the three Shah siblings chase Coco across the country. Along the way, they crash headlong into the eccentric world of birders, and into the unfamiliar people they've become. We discuss exploring connections, nature and sibling relationships. Also, you can hear how her work as a voice-actor influences her ability to get into character, and why she's ditched word-counts.You can hear how Farah shuts off her anxiety with wallpaper, how she tricks herself into writing, and about the first idea she had for her story.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineThis week's episode is sponsored by 'Minding Toby', the new novel by M.M.
