Not long ago culture was considered rare in nature, maybe even uniquely human. But that's changed. We now know that the tree of life is buzzing with culture—and not just on a few lonely branches. Creatures great and small learn songs, migration routes, and feeding techniques from each other. Many species build up reservoirs of knowledge over generations. This has profound implications, not just for understanding of the natural world, but also for our efforts to protect it.  My guest today is Dr. Philippa Brakes. Philippa is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Exeter, with one foot in science and another in conservation. She's both a behavioral ecologist, focusing on whales and dolphins, and a leading voice—for more than a decade now—urging conservationists to take animal cultures seriously.  Here, Philippa and I talk about how researchers define culture and social learning in animals. We tour the mounting evidence for culture across species—in birds, in apes, in fish, possibly even in insects. We discuss the methods that scientists use to infer that behaviors are socially learned. We consider how animal culture complicates the conservation enterprise. We also discuss the idea that animal cultures have intrinsic value—not value for us humans, not value that can be easily quantified, but value for the animals themselves. Along the way Philippa and I talk about the notion of "cultural rescue"; indigenous understandings of animal culture; cases where social learning is maladaptive; human-animal mutualism; fashion trends; the idea of conserving "cultural capacity"; elephant matriarchs and other "keystone individuals"; golden lion tamarins, herring, and regent honey-eaters; and the question of why some orcas where salmon as hats. Alright friends, this topic has been on our wish list for a while now. Hope you enjoy it!   Notes  2:30 – For academic articles by Dr. Brakes and colleagues on the importance of animal culture for conservation, see here, here, and here.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring legendary trumpeter and horn arranger Jerry Hey, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Jerry Hey trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/jerry-hey-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-146   About Jerry Hey: Jerry Hey is one of the defining trumpet voices and horn arrangers in modern popular music. Born in Dixon, Illinois, into a deeply musical family, he honed his craft with Charlie Geyer and later at Indiana University under legendary pedagogue William Adam. After an early run co-founding the jazz-fusion band Seawind in Hawaii, Hey moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s and quickly became a first-call session player and arranger. From there, his sound is heard on a staggering number of iconic recordings. Hey's horn writing and trumpet playing helped shape Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller albums, and his long association with Quincy Jones produced landmark work for Earth, Wind & Fire, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, Barbra Streisand, Toto, and countless others. A six-time Grammy winner, he has been recognized repeatedly for his instrumental and vocal arrangements, as well as his contributions to major film and television scores, including Flashdance, The Color Purple, the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump, and Dreamgirls. Most recently, Hey has opened his personal archives in Notes From The Past 50 Years, a 250-page collection of pop excerpts spanning his studio career. The book gathers more than 200 of his favorite licks, along with personal stories and rare photos that trace his path from early days in Los Angeles to his most iconic sessions—including a few lesser-known musical gems. Equally at home leading a horn section, crafting a string chart, or delivering a lyrical flugelhorn solo, Hey remains a benchmark for precision, style, and imagination in the studio, with an influence that continues to shape how artists, arrangers, and producers think about horn sections today.   Episode Links: Website: www.heyhorns.com Instagram (@heyhorns) Jerry Hey playlist The Other Side of the Bell Episode #15 - William "Bill" Adam Tribute The Other Side of the Bell Episode #22 - Jerry Hey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Jerry Hey/Megan Noller Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

Popular GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound aren’t just transforming weight loss. They’re also changing our intimate lives in surprising ways. In today’s show, we’re diving into results from a new national study finding that a majority of people taking one of these medications reported a change in their sex and dating lives, for better or for worse. My guest is Dr. Amanda Gesselman a research scientist and head of the VIBES research team at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. Digital intimacy is a major focus of her research, including how people use tools like camsites, AI companions, dating apps, and social media to navigate connection and desire. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What specific changes are people noticing in their dating lives as a result of taking one of these drugs? Why does weight loss seem to be benefiting men more than women when it comes to dating? How do GLP-1 medications affect sexual health and function? And is it different for men and women? Are people taking GLP-1 medications worried about social judgement? To learn more, you can read a brief report about the study here. Got a sex question?

A good workout can make you feel triumphant. And even if that isn't your relationship with exercise, you've probably heard that working out can lift your mood, fight depression, and make you more resilient when life knocks back. But why exactly does exercise improve mental health? Is it all about those endorphins? Does the type or duration of a workout matter if you're looking for a mental wellness boost?To help answer those questions and more, Host Flora Lichtman talks with Eduardo Esteban Bustamante and Jack Raglin, who both study the relationship between physical activity and mental health.Guests: Dr. Eduardo Esteban Bustamante studies the link between physical activity and mental health in kids as the director of the Healthy Kids Lab at the University of Illinois, Chicago.Dr. Jack Raglin studies exercise and sports science as a professor of kinesiology at Indiana University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

From losing his $25,000 life savings on his first startup investment to democratizing venture capital for everyday investors, Gerry Hays shares proven strategies for making early-stage investing accessible through VentureStaking while teaching founders outside traditional tech hubs how to raise capital and build sustainable businesses. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Gerry Hays, founder and CEO of Doriot and Senior Lecturer at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. Gerry has made 75+ startup investments, taught venture capital for 20 years, and built multiple companies from zero to exit, including HomeYeah.com and Charlie Biggs Food Company. His current mission focuses on expanding venture capital access beyond coastal hubs through innovative funding models. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to participate in early-stage startup investing with as little as $10 through the VentureStaking model, why the right to invest later in winning companies proves more valuable than over-investing today, and how collapsing startup costs are fundamentally changing capital requirements for founders. Gerry shares strategies for avoiding what he calls "the fool's tax" when making your first investments, the critical importance of backing founders over ideas, and why venture investing resembles poker more than roulette. You'll also learn about building venture ecosystems within universities where students and alumni can collaborate on funding and growth, navigating the decision between raising capital versus bootstrapping your business, and the difference between venture-appropriate businesses versus lifestyle companies. The conversation explores tokenization's potential to create an ownership economy, why cultivation mindset beats consumption thinking for long-term wealth building, and what freedom from scarcity truly means in both dealmaking and life. GERRY'S JOURNEY: Gerry's path into venture capital came through painful education. After leaving law practice after just six months, he made his first investment at age 27, putting his entire life savings of $25,000 into a hazardous waste processing technology. He knew the space intimately from running lobbying for Indiana's Department of Environmental Management. The technology made sense. The market opportunity was clear. But the founder couldn't execute, and Gerry lost everything. That lesson kept him away from startup investing for a decade. Instead, he became a founder himself, launching HomeYeah.com during the dot-com boom. He acquired a small Indianapolis company with 25 lawn signs and built it into the 11th largest real estate company in Indianapolis by transactions, growing from zero to $1.8 million in revenue in just 20 to 24 months. The company sold to Help-U-Sell Real Estate in 2003, but not before Gerry experienced the challenge of raising capital outside traditional tech hubs. After the HomeYeah.com exit, Indiana University invited him to teach a new venture capital course. He's been there since 2004, creating what he calls a bridge between academic theory and real-world startup practice. Meanwhile, he co-founded Charlie Biggs Food Company, scaling it from zero to $10 million in revenue with distribution in over 1,000 retail locations before exiting through a private equity deal. FIRST INVESTMENT LESSONS: That initial $25,000 loss taught Gerry what he calls "avoiding the fool's tax." The fundamental insight was simple but profound. When you invest, you're really investing in founders more than ideas. He was simply a bad picker of founders at that point. The technology expertise didn't matter. Market knowledge didn't matter. What mattered was identifying founders who could execute through inevitable obstacles and pivots. This lesson shaped everything that followed. Gerry wouldn't touch startup investing again for ten years after that loss. When he did return, his approach centered on cultivating relationships with founders over time, watching how they respond to challenges, and building diversified portfolios that acknowledge most investments will fail. VENTURESTAKING MODEL: The VentureStaking approach emerged from Gerry's years of teaching and investing. The model allows investors to participate with as little as $10 in early-stage founders. Instead of writing large checks for immediate equity, venture stakers provide small grants to founders just getting started. If those founders break out and raise a real equity round, the stakers get invited to invest at 10 times their initial stake. The math works elegantly. Out of 25 investments of $10 each totaling $250, you might only see three worth backing in a real round. But when winners emerge, you've earned the right to participate in meaningful equity rounds without the traditional barriers to entry. This democratizes access while maintaining sophisticated portfolio construction principles. Gerry likens venture investing to poker rather than roulette. You play many hands with small amounts. You fold most of them. But when you spot real winners, you bet heavy. This is cultivation versus consumption, a long-term wealth-building game that Warren Buffett exemplifies, having created 99% of his wealth after age 65. THE COLLAPSING COST OF STARTING: One of the most profound shifts Gerry identifies is how startup costs have collapsed. What required $5 million to build ten years ago can now be created in a day for $50 thanks to AI agents, no-code platforms, and cloud services. This changes everything about capital requirements and who can be a founder. This trend combines with tokenization to create what Gerry calls an ownership economy. Instead of owning a few stocks generating passive income, people could hold tokens in 150 companies, each generating small amounts of passive income without traditional barriers to entry. The infrastructure for this future is being built now through blockchain technology and regulatory evolution. UNIVERSITY VENTURE ECOSYSTEMS: Gerry's work brings the VentureStaking model to universities, creating ecosystems where students, alumni, and faculty can participate in funding and building the next generation of startups. Indiana University has 70,000 students and 800,000 alumni. Imagine creating an arena where students pitch ideas, alumni back them with small stakes, and the community participates in the upside when founders succeed. Shared information, shared risk, shared prosperity. This approach captures innovation traditional VCs miss entirely. Founders outside coastal hubs gain access to capital. Alumni gain access to investment opportunities typically reserved for accredited investors with six-figure minimums. Students learn by doing rather than just studying theory. The model scales to any university willing to build the infrastructure. KEY INSIGHTS: Geographic location shouldn't determine access to capital. Gerry experienced this firsthand with HomeYeah.com in Indianapolis. He wasn't in California. He didn't have the right connections. That challenge drives his current work at Doriot, focused on democratizing venture capital for founders and investors outside traditional hubs. The Sam Altman example illustrates how network effects compound. Altman invested $15,000 in Stripe in 2009, now worth $650 million. That wealth creates access to more deals. Those deals create more wealth. The rich get richer not because they're smarter but because they have access. VentureStaking aims to expand that access. Contracts matter, but people matter just as much. Gerry's experience shows that when something seems too easy, like tenants responding unusually quickly to lease documents without redlines for 10-15 year commitments, it raises red flags. You can have perfect legal documents but still face challenges if you're working with the wrong people. THE SHARK TANK STORY: Gerry shares his Shark Tank experience where his former student pitched a business and received a $250,000 offer from Mark Cuban for 35% equity. Gerry advised him that existing SAFEs would push him below 50% ownership. The founder turned down Cuban's offer. That "no" to Mark Cuban kicked off Season 4 of Shark Tank and generated publicity that proved more valuable than the deal itself. The company continued growing without the investment. CULTIVATION VERSUS CONSUMPTION: One of Gerry's most powerful insights addresses how society trains people for consumption rather than cultivation. We've made sports betting legal. Prediction markets are booming. We're training young people about fast-moving money and dopamine hits. But venture investing is a cultivation game. You're dropping seeds into the ground and watching what the universe brings back. He gave a student $5,000 who wanted to build something in the travel industry. The founder pivoted to AI and Shopify and just raised $8 million at a $55 million valuation. That $5,000 investment is now worth over $200,000. The bet wasn't on the idea. It was on a founder who wouldn't quit. That's something you discover by playing the game, getting yourself into wealth-building activities where you're patient, watching, and learning. FREEDOM FROM SCARCITY: When asked about freedom, Gerry's answer cut to something fundamental. Being free from a scarcity mindset is profoundly important. Everything around us reinforces scarcity. But when you let go of that and realize how abundant things really are, it changes how you see opportunities. You can afford to be patient. You can take calculated risks. You can help others succeed knowing there's enough to go around. This mindset applies to venture capital, to dealmaking, to entrepreneurship, and to life. When you operate from abundance rather than scarcity, you see opportunities differently. Capital formation is evolving. The question is whether that evolution will democratize opportunity or concentrate it further. Gerry's betting on democratization. Perfect for investors curious about venture capital but feeling locked out of traditional opportunities, founders outside coastal tech hubs seeking capital, university administrators exploring venture ecosystem development, and anyone interested in how capital formation is evolving to become more accessible while maintaining sophisticated portfolio construction principles.

Tucker Carlson has dominated conservative media headlines recently following a deeply controversial interview with Nick Fuentes, a prominent white nationalist and Holocaust denier. This episode on his independent video platform led to extensive backlash throughout the Republican Party and conservative institutions, especially as Fuentes used the platform to discuss antisemitic conspiracy theories. The fallout was immediate: Texas Senator Ted Cruz criticized Carlson's handling of the interview, describing him as complicit in promoting harmful ideologies. Prominent conservative commentator Ben Shapiro also lambasted Carlson, calling him a dishonest interlocutor. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump jumped into the fray, backing Carlson and arguing he should be free to interview whoever he wants, while encouraging the public to make their own judgments about Fuentes and other controversial guests. Trump expressed his continued admiration for Carlson and cited their successful interview which reached hundreds of millions of impressions.Within conservative think tanks, the controversy reached a breaking point at the Heritage Foundation. President Kevin Roberts defended Carlson's right to conduct the interview, calling him “a close friend” and resisting calls for cancellation. Yet, this stance led to internal upheaval, including the resignation of board member Robert George, who said he could not remain unless Roberts publicly retracted his supportive video. Several members of the Heritage Foundation's antisemitism task force also stepped down in protest, spotlighting deep divisions on the right regarding Carlson's influence, racism, and the boundaries of acceptable discourse.Despite these controversies, Carlson's media presence remains formidable and expanding. He's actively raising investor funds—reportedly aiming for hundreds of millions of dollars—with business partner Neil Patel to launch a new media company founded on subscription-based longer-form videos distributed primarily through X, formerly known as Twitter. His short-form video commentary continues to attract millions of viewers, and his enterprise, the Tucker Carlson Network, is drawing significant traffic by blending interviews with cultural and political commentary. Recent episodes have featured discussions with figures such as Andrew Tate, Tim Burchett, and Russell Brand, and his live national media tour has brought Carlson to packed venues, often alongside major right-wing personalities like Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Kid Rock, Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Donald Trump Jr.Carlson's recent programming has delved into subjects like U.S. government transparency, congressional insider trading, UFOs, and the politicization of campus life. His recent sit-down with Nikki Haley's son included pointed questions about America's relationship with Israel, reigniting debates around antisemitism and foreign policy in the conservative movement.In another headline-making moment, Carlson and Steve Bannon called out U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee for meeting with convicted Israel spy Jonathan Pollard—an incident Carlson condemned as “shocking behavior” and which was reportedly hidden from official schedules. The controversy led to further debate, with the White House saying Trump knew nothing about the meeting but still backs Huckabee as ambassador.Carlson is facing notable internal criticism even from within the MAGA coalition itself. This has become increasingly apparent after his exchanges with Laura Loomer, who has accused him of pro-Islamic bias—reflecting sharp divides on issues ranging from religion to foreign policy. Meanwhile, Carlson's rising stature in post-Fox media ventures is drawing comparisons to other major personalities and has placed him at the center of debates about the future of conservative media, especially as his network continues to attract both major audiences and considerable investment. In a particularly impactful development, Carlson is stepping in to headline Turning Point USA's upcoming Indiana University event—a move prompted by the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk—with Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck joining as guest speakers. This tour is being hailed by organizers as a major moment for campus free speech.While there's ongoing speculation about Carlson's income and net worth, current estimates place him between $30 and $50 million, boosted by family money and the rapid expansion of his digital media footprint. The financial maneuverings behind his new ventures continue to attract scrutiny and discussion in both business and political circles.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

As health insurers increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to process claims, denials have been on the rise. In 2023, about 73 million Americans on Affordable Care Act plans had their claims for in-network services denied, and less than 1% of them tried to appeal. Now, AI is being used to help patients fight back. Ali Rogin speaks with Indiana University law professor Jennifer Oliva for more.

September 11th, 2001 marked the beginning of the so-called war on terror, but the attacks of that day also re-ignited battles over the nature of American patriotism. In Divided by Terror: American Patriotism after 9/11 (UNC Press, 2021), Professor John Bodnar argues that the nature of patriotism as being war-based or empathetic divided the nation as much as the responses to the 9/11 attacks. Using a variety of public media and private correspondence, Dr. Bodnar explores the different ways Americans tried to understand and remember 9/11, their disagreements over government responses to it, and how patriotism itself was also part of the debate. Dr. Bodnar shows how people on all the various sides to national security debates used patriotism as a motivating factor for their positions. Divided by Terrorshows how patriotism and how it is to be practiced was contested and fought over as much as the policies that it inspired. Dr. Bodnar is a Distinguished Emeritus Professor in the Department of History at Indiana University. He is the author of 8 academic books in addition to numerous journal articles.

AI Startup Funding Models Gerry Hays, a professor of venture capital with 21 years of experience and a history of investing in 75 startups, discussed his work in supporting founders to create AI-focused startups through a grant-based funding model. He explained their "Venture Staking" system, which allows individuals to invest small amounts of money in startups early on, with the potential to earn 10x returns if the company succeeds. Michael shared his experience working in IT during the dot-com era and emphasized the importance of accessible funding for new businesses, highlighting how Gerry's approach provides an alternative to traditional VC funding by building a community of potential investors. Community-Driven Investment Transformations Michael and Gerry discussed the transformative power of community-driven investing, emphasizing its potential to foster genuine interest and engagement in ventures beyond mere financial returns. Michael highlighted how such investments create a sense of belonging and collaboration, comparing it to cheering for a team, while Gerry stressed the future importance of community and networks in startups, contrasting them with easily replicable software. They agreed that early participation in ventures offers significant advantages, including learning opportunities and potential financial gains, as well as the chance to be part of a community that drives innovation and growth. Alternative Investments: Volatility and Returns Michael discussed the high volatility and potential for significant returns in alternative investment platforms, contrasting them with traditional stock markets where 52% of Fortune 500 companies from 2000 have since disappeared. He emphasized the transformative nature of current market shifts and the importance of active engagement in investments, which fosters community and deeper research. Michael highlighted how such platforms encourage users to delve into detailed analysis, unlike the surface-level engagement often seen on social media. AI and Entrepreneurship Growth Strategies Michael and Gerry discussed the value of experience in entrepreneurship and the importance of regular updates to investors for accountability. They highlighted how AI, like previous tools like the internet, can enhance business operations but should be used as a tool rather than a replacement for human expertise. Gerry emphasized the potential for small investments in innovative businesses to grow significantly, citing the rise of no-code tools and AI as enablers of this transformation. Adapting to Startup Challenges Michael and Gerry discussed the importance of adaptability and risk-taking in the startup world, using examples like Pets.com and Comscore Networks to illustrate the challenges and opportunities faced by early-stage companies. Gerry explained the unique features of Dorio.com, a platform that allows non-accredited investors to test the waters and gain insights into startups before making larger investments. They emphasized the value of calculated risk-taking and the platform's ability to make venture capital more accessible to a wider audience. Michael encouraged listeners to explore Dorio.com as a potential holiday gift or investment opportunity.   About Gerry Hays Gerry Hays is redefining how startups are funded—and who gets to participate. As the founder of Doriot and the creator of VentureStaking™, a patent-pending investment model, Gerry is challenging the traditional venture capital system and opening the door for everyday people to invest in high-growth startups—without needing to write a five-figure check or place risky early bets. With more than 25 years of experience as a serial founder and startup investor, Gerry has successfully launched, scaled, and exited multiple companies. He's taught entrepreneurial finance and venture capital at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, where he mentored hundreds of emerging founders across the globe. Gerry is also the author of the 5-star-rated book, The First-Time Founder's Equity Bible, a practical guide that demystifies equity structures and funding for new entrepreneurs. He created Fantasy Startup®, the world's #1 startup investing simulation with over 14,000 downloads. And in his push to democratize access to private markets, he developed the QAI (Qualified Accredited Investor) Certification, empowering non-traditional investors to confidently and knowledgeably enter the world of private equity. But Gerry's mission goes far beyond credentials. Through Doriot and the VentureStaking™ model, he's flipping the script on startup investing. Instead of gambling early like traditional angels or waiting for IPO access on Wall Street, investors can now earn the option to invest in startups once they've begun to succeed—radically lowering risk and broadening participation. This isn't crowdfunding. It's a smarter, more inclusive, and capital-efficient way to back innovation—and benefit from it. What your audience will take away: How to begin startup investing with as little as $10 Why VentureStaking™ may be the most game-changing asset class since crypto How access to private markets is being reimagined for the 99% What it really means to own equity in the next unicorn—before Silicon Valley gets in If your show dives into entrepreneurship, disruption, financial empowerment, or emerging investment trends, Gerry Hays will bring bold, practical insights—and a roadmap for how your audience can take a real stake in the future.

Organization Day offers a preview of the 2026 legislative short session. Indiana University considers adopting new guidelines for free expression on campuses. A Whitestown man is charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of María Florinda Ríos Pérez De Velásquez, a member of a cleaning crew who came to the wrong house. Host Jill Sheridan is joined by Democrat Ann DeLaney, Republican Mike O'Brien, Jon Schwantes of Indiana Lawmakers, and Niki Kelly of the Indiana Capital Chronicle to debate and discuss this week's top stories.

Everyone loves a good evolutionary puzzle. Why do we have appendices? Why do we dream? Why do we blush? At first glance, memory would not be in this category. It's clearly useful to remember stuff, after all—to know where to find food, to remember your mistakes so you don't repeat them, to recall who's friendly and who's fierce. In fact, though, certain aspects of memory—when you hold them up to the light—turn out to be quite puzzling indeed. My guests today are Dr. Ali Boyle and Dr. Johannes Mahr. Ali is a philosopher at the London School of Economics (LSE); Johannes is a philosopher at York University, in Toronto. Both have written extensively about the functions of memory, and, in particular, about the functions of episodic memory—that capacity for calling up specific events and experiences from our own lives.  Here, Ali, Johannes and I lay out the textbook taxonomy of memory, and discuss how episodic memory has drawn the lion's share of philosophical interest. We pick apart the relationship between episodic memory and another major type of long-term memory, semantic memory. We sketch a range of different accounts of the evolved functions of episodic memory, including Johannes's proposal that episodic memory serves communication and Ali's proposal that it fuels semantic memory. And, finally, we consider what this all means for our understanding of memory in children and in animals. Along the way, we touch on Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, infantile amnesia, evidential systems in language, imagination, "simulationist" theories of episodic memory, what it feels like to remember, collective memory, the hippocampus, cryptomnesia, and the cow's digestive system as a metaphor for memory.  If you're enjoying Many Minds, you might consider leaving us a rating or review on your platform of choice, or maybe giving us a shout-out on social media.

In case you missed it, last week was quite the week in the menopause world. The FDA made a landmark decision to remove all black box warnings from estrogen products and to update the labels of individual products. I was in the room where it all happened and in this episode, I'm going to break it all down for you. But here's the headline- this label change is overall, a good thing, a very good thing. A transcript of this podcast, along with photos and graphics, can be found on DrStreicher.Substack.com In this episode:  A historical perspective of how the Black Box label came to be on all estrogen products A review of the Women's Health Initiative Study  (WHI) that lead to the specific warnings on the label.  The fall out from the release of the WHI The Problems with the Black Box label on estrogen products Class Labeling The difference between oral, transdermal and local vaginal estrogen.  How the required black box label influenced the likelihood of physicians writing a prescription for estrogen, and the likelihood that women would use hormone therapy.  Why I never stopped prescribing estrogen Last week's announcement from the FDA If it is medically appropriate to remove the black box warning from local vaginal estrogen If it is medically appropriate to remove the black box warning from systemic estrogen The inaccurate messaging during the FDA press conference The POLITICS  of WHY the FDA removed the Black Box warnings Related Podcasts:  Episode 124 All Hormones Are Not Created Equal with Dr. James Simon Episode 164 Is Bioidentical Always Best?

In this conversation on The Alan Nathan Show with guest host Joseph Patterson, we dig into Indiana University's move to pause student newspaper coverage during Homecoming week. Many are calling it censorship, but not every short-sighted, financially driven decision rises to the level of a constitutional violation. Sometimes it's simply a leadership failure wrapped in clumsy PR. We walk through what actually happened, why this isn't a First Amendment issue, and how misuse of the word “censorship” blinds us to the real battles we must fight.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jeffdornik Tune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm ET.

After some storytelling on the personal side, Eric & Ward recap the recent successes of football, volleyball, and men and women's basketball. Yup... IU is just awesome at all those sports. Then, instead of merely basking in the glory of so much winning, the Hysterics dive into a debate of no particular significance:Does the success of Indiana football help or hinder the success of Indiana basketball???

In this hour of The Andrea Kaye Show, we dive straight into the rot exposed by the Epstein files, the vote in Congress, and why the same people screaming “democracy” are the ones hiding names, blocking accountability, and weaponizing our own intelligence agencies and DOJ against the American people, all while pretending this is just politics as usual. We then shift to Indiana University being ranked the worst in the nation for free expression, exposing how the left deliberately targets so-called red states and “safe” communities to flip the next generation against the very values they were raised with. Andrea and I also unpack the growing lawfare regime in places like Texas and Arizona, where medical boards and bar associations have become tools to crush dissent, and we close by talking about Thanksgiving, why Chris Matthews wants Trump supporters to “keep quiet,” and how you can engage your family with courage, pointed questions, and truth instead of fear. Along the way, I share why I built Pickax as a creator-first, censorship-resistant platform where human beings—not algorithms, not bureaucrats—decide what voices rise and what conversations matter.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jeffdornik Tune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm ET.

It's November again, and that means a bunch of people on the internet are giving up masturbation for the month. While “No Nut November” is a relatively recent phenomenon, it actually has deep roots and reflects humans' longstanding and very complicated relationship with self-pleasure. In this show, we’re talking about the history of masturbation and why people are so conflicted over it. My guest is Dr. Eric Sprankle, an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and the co-director of the Sexuality Studies program at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He’s also a licensed clinical psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist affiliated with the Minnesota Sexual Health Institute. His latest book is DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Where does the idea of masturbation as sinful originate? Historically, how have religious and political figures dissuaded people from masturbating? When did masturbation start to become a public health concern? How has the rise of social media coincided with the rise of negative views of masturbation? You can visit Eric’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?

This special episode of Rhetoricity features a roundtable that also serves as the "Afterwords" for a forthcoming collection entitled Rhetoric Before and Beyond Post-Truth. That collection is edited by Scott Sundvall, Caddie Alford, and Ira Allen and will be published by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2026. The featured panelists are James Ball, Barbara Biesecker, Omedi Ochieng, Robin Reames, and Ryan Skinnell. See below for more detailed bios of the panelists. The roundtable focuses on key questions from Rhetoric Before and Beyond Post-Truth: what we mean by "post-truth," how it intersects with rhetoric, and what challenges that intersection poses for us in the world to come. James Ball is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and author, a fellow of the think tank Demos, and the political editor of The New European. Ball also played a key role in The Guardian's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the NSA leaks by Edward Snowden. He is the author of multiple books, including Post-Truth and The Tangled Web We Weave: Inside The Shadow System That Shapes the Internet. His most recent book, The Other Pandemic: How QAnon Contaminated The World was published by Bloomsbury in July 2023.  Barbara Biesecker is Professor of Rhetoric in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Georgia and author of the recently published Reinventing World War II: Popular Memory in the Rise of the Ethnonationalist State. She is the recipient of multiple awards, including the National Communication Association's Douglas Ehninger Distinguished Rhetorical Scholar Award, the Francine Merritt Award, and the Rhetorical and Communication Theory Division's Outstanding Mentor Award and Distinguished Scholar Award.  She served as editor-in-chief of the Quarterly Journal of Speech from 2013–2016 and continues to serve on multiple editorial boards.  Omedi Ochieng specializes in Africana philosophical and intellectual thought, Black radicalism, and criticism. He is the author of two books: Groundwork for the Practice of the Good Life: Politics and Ethics at the Intersection of North Atlantic and African Philosophy and The Intellectual Imagination: Knowledge and Aesthetics in North Atlantic and African Philosophy. He is currently working on a project on Black insurgent ecology.  Robin Reames is the Culbertson Chair of Writing in the Department of English at Indiana University's College of Arts and Sciences. Her research explores the relationship between language and metaphysics in ancient Greek rhetoric. She explored aspects of this relationship in her first book, Seeming and Being in Plato's Rhetorical Theory and her book of essays Logos without Rhetoric: The Arts of Language Before Plato. She is also one of the editors of the third edition of The Rhetorical Tradition: Readings from Classical Times to the Present. Her most recent book, The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times is written for a general audience and introduces key concepts from the ancient rhetorical tradition that can help readers navigate today's complex and polarizing politics.  Ryan Skinnell is Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at San José State University. His current research investigates authoritarian, demagogic, and fascist rhetoric, particularly in the early 20th century, and its relationship to global politics in the 21st century. He has published six books, including Faking the News: What Rhetoric Can Teach Us About Donald J. Trump and Rhetoric and Guns. He's also published more than two dozen articles and book chapters in top scholarly journals and edited collections, as well as essays in popular press outlets including the Washington Post, Newsweek, and Salon. He is currently writing a book about Adolf Hitler's rhetoric. This episode features a clip from "Truth" by Masteredit. Episode Transcript

(00:01) Indoor Golf Facilities and Game Improvement This chapter explores the transition from outdoor to indoor golf as the colder months approach, highlighting the growing popularity and benefits of indoor golf facilities. We discuss the advanced technology available at these venues, such as launch monitors and simulators, which provide golfers with detailed feedback on their game, including club head speed and ball flight information. While some facilities offer a more entertainment-focused experience, others provide a hybrid of entertainment and performance enhancement, akin to venues like Topgolf. We emphasize the importance of certain metrics like club head speed in improving one's game, while also noting that not all available data is necessary for every golfer. The chapter highlights how these modern facilities cater to both casual players seeking fun and serious golfers aiming to maintain or improve their skills during the off-season. (13:42) State-of-the-Art Indoor Golf Facilities This chapter focuses on the pros and cons of indoor golf facilities, particularly in terms of practicing different aspects of the game like putting and hitting off mats. I explore the advancements in indoor golfing technology, including massive screens and realistic mats that replicate the feel of real grass, and how these can benefit practice sessions. We discuss the limitations, such as the difficulty in perfecting putting indoors, and how high costs reflect the quality of the equipment used. Additionally, we touch on the potential for such facilities in areas like Las Vegas and South Florida, and how they might attract more visitors. The chapter underscores the importance of investing in quality equipment for a realistic golfing experience, even when playing indoors. (25:50) Visual Golf Training Tools and Techniques This chapter focuses on the transformative power of simple tools in enhancing skills and understanding in golf. We discuss the potential of showcasing these tools in a video format, emphasizing how visual demonstrations can profoundly impact learning and skill improvement. Highlighting both high-tech and no-tech solutions, we explore how these tools can offer significant benefits, often surprising users with their effectiveness. A particular focus is placed on a magnetic pointer tool that attaches to a golf club face, helping golfers understand club face alignment. By providing a visual representation, this tool aids in improving aim and swing, ultimately enhancing overall performance and understanding of the game. Through seeing and understanding these simple yet effective tools, golfers can achieve greater satisfaction and improvement in their game. (32:24) Improving Golf Skills Indoors This chapter explores the benefits of practicing golf indoors, emphasizing the confidence and skill improvement that comes from visualizing and aligning your swing correctly. By using a launch monitor, you can get instant feedback without losing balls, making it easier to practice specific shots repeatedly. We highlight the advantages of using the same golf balls indoors that you would use on the course to maintain consistency in feel and flight. Indoor practice becomes especially valuable during seasons when outdoor play is less comfortable, providing an opportunity to continue improving your game and working towards breaking your personal goals. (37:32) Indoor Golf Benefits and Fun This chapter covers a range of topics, beginning with a light-hearted discussion about sports betting on FanDuel, particularly focusing on Indiana University's match against Penn State and the coaching changes affecting both teams. We then shift gears to talk about the world of golf, touching on the dismissal of Auburn University's coach, Hugh Freeze, due to his golfing habits, and exploring the advantages of playing golf indoors with modern technology. We highlight the affordability and convenience of virtual golf experiences, comparing them to the costly adventure of playing iconic courses like Pebble Beach. I share personal experiences from my travels to renowned golf courses, emphasizing the importance of embracing the full experience rather than skimping on such memorable journeys. Throughout the chapter, there's a playful nod to nostalgic pop culture references, adding a touch of humor to the conversation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, is responsible for 6 different kinds of cancers…Cervical, anal, oral pharyngeal, vaginal,  vulvar,  and penile. So, it was a big deal when the HPV vaccine was approved in 2006 females between the ages of 9 and 26.   In 2018, the age range was expanded to include adults up to the age of 45. But, what about women over 45? Shouldn't they have the option of getting a vaccine that prevents 90% of HPV related cancers?  My guest is Dr. Vivien Brown, an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto with a special interest in Adult Immunization and Vaccine Preventable Illness.  Dr. Brown presented HPV initiatives in Canada at the UN meetings for the Commission on the Status of Women.  Background on the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine and HPV  Cancers associated with HPV Who should get HPV vaccines Why it is best to vaccinate young girls and boys If women with cervical cancer should still get vaccinated If people who got the original vaccine with 4 serotypes, should get the newer vaccine with 9 serotypes How much the vaccine reduces the risk of cancer Side effects of the vaccine Why the vaccine was expanded from age 26 to age 45 Vaccine efficacy is less in older women How HPV is transmitted in older women Time of exposure of HPV to cancer Reasons that women over the age of 45 are at risk of exposure to HPV The case for universal vaccinations and STI screening If MEN are (should) getting vaccinated over age 45 If women should get tested for previous infections before getting vaccinated Why Canadian dentists are now counseling and administering HPV vaccinating  If single women in their 60s should get vaccinated if they are not sexually active and have no plans for sexual activity Other vaccines recommended in older women Tetanus Pneumonia Influenza Shingles RSV Covid If it's OK to get tvaccines all at once or if dosing should be divided The Case for Seeing a Gynecologist No Matter How Old You Are                                      Vivien Brown MDCM,*CCFP, MSCP Dr. Vivien Brown, is a family physician and Assistant Professor, Department of Family & Community Medicine, University of Toronto, is renowned for her expertise in women's health, brain health, immunization, health promotion and healthy aging. *MDCM stands for Medicinae Doctorem et Chirurgiae Magistrum, which translates to "Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery" in Latin.

We break down the 2025 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy with the researchers who created it — exploring what this concentration means for nonprofit sustainability and the future of philanthropy. There's a number that keeps showing up in conversations about American philanthropy. And it tells two completely different stories depending on how you read it.Over the past decade, charitable giving from affluent households increased more than 30%. That's remarkable. That suggests a sector that's thriving. Resilient. Responding to need.But here's the other story that same data tells.Donor participation dropped from 91% to 81%. Twenty million American households stopped giving to charity entirely. First-time donor retention? Below 20%.Fewer people are writing checks. They're just writing much bigger ones.So which story matters more? The one about record-breaking totals? Or the one about democratic participation collapsing?To answer that question, I wanted to talk with the researchers who created the data in the first place.Amir Pasic is the Dean of Indiana University's Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. It's the world's first and only school devoted entirely to the study of generosity. He oversees Giving USA — the longest-running report on American charitable giving.Bill Jarvis is the Managing Director at Bank of America Private Bank. He's spent nearly two decades tracking how wealthy Americans give through the Bank of America Study of Philanthropy. He bridges wealth management and charitable giving in ways few others can.Together, they've surveyed over 15,000 affluent households since 2006. Their 2025 findings reveal a sector at a crossroads.And that crossroads is exactly what we're exploring today.Listeners, now you can text us your comments or questions by clicking this link.*** If you liked this episode, please help spread the word.

Today we have Dr. Marina Walther-Antonio, a Mayo Clinic researcher who investigates the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancers. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide, and there are still no standard screenings for early detection. Marina is an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine Microbiome Program. She has a joint appointment in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Today we talk to Marina about how she and her colleagues are utilizing the methodologies of environmental microbiology and technologies used in astrobiology to improve our understanding of endometrial and ovarian cancers. Through her investigations into the microbiome, she and her team are developing early detection tests that will enable clinical interventions before certain cancers develop. Show notes: [00:03:13] Dawn opens our interview asking Marina about the history of her interest in extraterrestrial life. [00:05:49] Dawn mentions that Marina did her undergraduate studies in Portugal at the University of Aveiro, where she majored in biology. Dawn asks why Marina chose biology as her major. [00:06:39] Ken explains that the undergraduate programs at Aveiro University require students to do a year of research outside the university and asks Marina about her experience with this requirement. [00:08:34] Ken explains that while Marina was conducting her internship at NASA Ames Research Center, there were several projects under way at the astrobiology institute, with the one that Marina was assigned to looking at a Mars analogue site in Oregon's Warner Valley. Ken asks what kind of work Marina did on this project. [00:10:06] Ken asks Marina why after earning a master's degree in microbiology from Indiana University, she went to Washington State University to earn a Ph.D. in environmental sciences. [00:13:29] Dawn asks about Marina's Ph.D. research on microbialites, which are microbial structures that can thrive at the bottom of certain freshwater lakes and other extreme environments. [00:16:02] Dawn explains that just as Marina began researching microbial populations, the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine created a microbiome program. Dawn asks Marina about the circumstances that led to her joining Mayo. [00:19:05] Dawn mentions that Dr. Claire Fraser, the director of Maryland's Institute for Genome Sciences pointed out in Episode 32 of STEM-Talk that there are more microbes on a single person's hands than there are people on Earth, as well as the fact that our gut is home to more than 100 trillion bacteria. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this microbial side of humanity. [00:21:51] Ken mentions that if listeners are interested in learning more about the microbiome and how it affects human health, they should listen to Episodes 20 and 168 with Dr. Alessio Fasano. Ken asks Marina to give a short overview of the microbiome. [00:25:37] Dawn asks Marina how the focus of her research shifted to the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health. [00:29:00] Dawn explains that endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide; with ovarian cancer being the most common gynecological malignancy and the fifth leading cause of death due to cancer in women in the nation. Dawn goes on to explain that in a 2023 paper Marina investigated the area of microbiome that is associated with ovarian cancer to better understand the microbiome's potential in early detection. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this study and its findings. [00:35:55] Given the small scale and sample size of her initial study, Ken asks Marina what her ideal follow-up study would look like. [00:38:37] Ken mentions that in 2019 Marina published the r...
