If you’re like many people, their mood is sour about their station in life and that of our nation.  It is a malaise, of sorts.  You can tell that Americans are struggling to determine who they are, their role in the world and what life is all about.  These are high order issues that people are struggling to address.  They are going to therapy, meditating, buying books and wellness products and yet often the answers are elusive.  Our guest, University of Chicago professor, J. Eric Oliver, has taught a legendary course–The Intelligible Self–that students describe as life-changing.  He has encapsulated his thoughts in this new book, “How to Know Your Self: The Art and Science of Discovering Who You Really Are.” He draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, physics and ancient philosophy to explore the mystery of the self.  Interspersed in this conversation and the book are practical insights into the process of living better.  Let’s take a deep dive into a topic we all struggle with.

Dominic Carter gives a fiery critique of contemporary social and political issues, centered primarily on the controversial murder conviction of Carmelo Anthony in Texas. Carter rejects claims of self-defense supported by figures like Cardi B, instead framing the case as a clear-cut tragedy where the victim, Austin Medaf, was unjustly killed. Throughout the program, the host denounces what he perceives as racial double standards and the "excuse central" mentality of the modern era, frequently clashing with callers to defend his stance on personal responsibility and the rule of law. Interspersed with these legal debates are sharp political rebukes of sanctuary city policies and the alleged hypocrisy of Democrats supporting candidates with questionable pasts.

In 2022, during a field trip to Los Cedros cloud forest in Ecuador, mycologist Giuliana Furci, author Robert Macfarlane, legal scholar and More-Than-Human (MOTH) Life Collective founder César Rodríguez-Garavito, and musician Cosmo Sheldrake wrote and recorded “Song of the Cedars”: a composition made not just in the forest, but in conscious collaboration with it. This week, we return to a conversation between them that explores their time in the forest and their ongoing efforts to secure legal recognition for its role in creating the song. Interspersed with the track's polyphony—toucan calls, cicada strings, and leaf chatter woven with human voices—this conversation invites you to listen to what true creative reciprocity with the Earth can sound like.Read the transcript.Photo by Robert Macfarlane.

Photo by Shannon Potter on Unsplash Published 4 May 2026 e552 with Andy, Michael and Michael – stories and discussion on AI, life on Mars, life of the Vision Pro, retro C64s and a whole lot more! Andy, Michael and Michael get things started with a brace of AI articles dealing with with a wide variety of topics.  First up is Meta's use of employee activities on their corporate computers to train their AI models.  Then, a discussion on the SpaceX and Cursor business deal.  Next, a conversation on a breach to access the Claude Mythos model.  Interspersed with these is a discovery by NASA's Curiosity rover finding organic molecules on Mars. With a number of articles claiming, and paraphrasing here, that the Vision Pro is bereft of life, shuffled up its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible, Michael Rowe shares his perspective on the subject.  His says his Vision Pro is not an Ex-Vision Pro. The cohosts go retro – as they are wont to do – with a flock of posts about all things Commodore.  Links below if you are curious and want to see what these devices look like. While no Artemis II image for this week's episode, do check out the minifigs.me offering of the crew, along with the jar of “Studella” in the links below.  There are a couple of additional bonus links that the cohosts didn't have time to include in the episode that prove that we can have nice things.

Join host Jeff for a special midweek edition of Right On Radio — a mostly clip-driven program inspired by an earlier conversation with John Brisson. This episode intentionally minimizes host monologue and instead strings together historical clips, news audio, expert reports and musical interludes to present a pointed narrative about the current Iran conflict and how media, energy and geopolitics shape public perceptions. The show opens with archival audio of Donald Trump at age 34 and moves into a Greg Reese report that traces the century-long British interest in Middle Eastern oil — Anglo-Persian origins, British strategic decisions, coups and the roots of anti‑Western sentiment leading to the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Expect a concentrated focus on the United Kingdom's role, historical oil politics, and how those legacies relate to present events. Segments examine recent operational and diplomatic choices: Royal Navy readiness, the role of Lloyd's of London insurance in Strait of Hormuz shipping, and the U.S. offer to insure and escort tankers — a move framed as shifting long-standing British leverage. Interspersed clips include commentary from guests (Greg Reese, Peter Schweizer) and pundits discussing U.S. military capacity, the claimed effects of strikes, and the tactical implications for China, Israel and regional actors. The episode also explores the China–Iran connection and its strategic consequences, with discussion of Chinese industrial support for Iranian missile programs, the impact on Asian markets dependent on Middle East oil, and expert analysis on how energy and military moves reshape global leverage. Listeners will hear clips highlighting market reactions across Asia and interviews on broader economic and strategic fallout. You'll also encounter more fringe and devotional material: an AI-style musical interlude, a Q-style social clip about “saving Israel for last,” and a closing religious/prayer focus inviting listeners to a Wednesday night prayer meeting. The program concludes with a provocative, repeated audio outro drawn from the clips. Overall, expect a layered, provocative audio collage that connects history, media framing, energy geopolitics, military capability and religious messaging — designed to make listeners question the story being told by mainstream coverage.

In his first hour, Greg Kelly presents a broadcast centered on President Trump's military actions against Iran, framing the conflict as a war of liberation intended to dismantle the country's nuclear and terrorist infrastructure. The narrative contrasts Trump's "prophetic" and aggressive foreign policy with the alleged failures of the Obama and Carter administrations, specifically highlighting historical events like the failed 1980 hostage rescue mission. Interspersed with clips of political figures and war movies, the program explores the strategic dominance of American airpower and the necessity of regime moderation in the Middle East. Beyond geopolitics, Kelly shifts into a broader cultural commentary, discussing social media addiction, personal anecdotes about childhood, and the legal controversies surrounding Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.

This week we go “talk show mode” for a special episode where Marlene recaps her trip to the Women + AI 2.0 Summit at Vanderbilt Law, hosted by Cat Moon, and shares why the event felt different from the standard conference grind, more energy, more structure, and yes, a DJ.The summit's core focus sits right on a tension point in the wider AI conversation. There's a persistent narrative that women use AI less than men. Cat Moon's framing, if it's true, it's a problem, and if it's false, it's also a problem, sets the tone for a day built around participation and peer connection. The format uses “spark” cards, mini, midi, and maxi prompts, to push attendees into small conversations, deeper reflection, and a final takeaway.Marlene also highlights sobering research shared during the opening, including an “AI competence penalty” dynamic where identical work is judged differently depending on whether evaluators believe a man or a woman used AI. The discussion lands on why these biases matter inside legal workplaces, and what leaders and peers can do to reduce the social cost of being open about AI usage.Interspersed throughout are short interviews with attendees and speakers. Nicole Morris (Emory) captures the day's purpose, expanding AI knowledge, talking risks, and connecting across roles. Sabra Tomb (University of Dayton School of Law) reframes AI as a leadership amplifier, moving from day-to-day management overload toward strategy and vision. Adele Shen (Vanderbilt) offers a funny but sharp taxonomy of AI “experts,” including “technocratic oracles,” “extinction alarmists,” and “touch grass humanists,” which sparks a candid side conversation about self-promotion, authority vibes, and who becomes “the story” in AI discourse.The episode closes with a look at how education and training can work better. Marlene and Greg lean into peer show-and-tell sessions, leadership modeling, and safe spaces, both governance-safe and learning-safe. A two-person segment from Suffolk Law (Chanal Neves McClain and Dyane O'Leary) adds a teaching twist, integrating AI tools into skills instruction without isolating “AI week” from real lawyering judgment. The final note comes from Stephanie Everett (Lawyerist) on the power of stories, and the reminder that people do not need to internalize the narrative someone else hands them.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Substack [Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 

Dominic Carter explores a period of political friction, primarily focusing on President Trump's public rebuke of the Supreme Court after a 6-3 decision invalidated his administration's sweeping tariff policies. Carter frames this legal loss as a clash between a popular mandate and judicial overreach, arguing that the court is unfairly handicapping an agenda aimed at leveling the global financial playing field. Interspersed with these political tensions are community-focused segments, including local opposition to New York City property taxes and a lighter, human-interest story about a woman arrested for abandoning her dog at a Las Vegas airport.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve Moore engages in a wide-ranging discussion primarily focused on economic prosperity and the policy shifts occurring under the Trump administration. A significant portion of the program features an interview with Steve Forbes, where the two celebrate the Dow reaching 50,000 and advocate for a supply-side agenda characterized by aggressive tax cuts, deregulation, and the potential privatization of Social Security. The dialogue shifts toward healthcare with Dr. Mike Ybarra, who critiques middleman PBMs and warns that price controls could stifle life-saving pharmaceutical innovation. Throughout the broadcast, Moore also offers sharp commentary on fiscal responsibility, the necessity of voter ID laws, and the appointment of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve to ensure a stable dollar.

The program transitions into a defense of the Trump administration's diplomatic successes, highlighted by Marco Rubio's remarks on a new "board of peace" and the resolution of international conflicts. Interspersed with these political critiques are personal anecdotes and cultural grievances, ranging from the decline of the Olympic brand to critiques of modern dietary habits and the behavior of activists.  Learn more about your ad choices.

listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey's Greatest Hits!This replay episode features host David Manheim reflecting on personal chaos, gratitude amid frustration, powerful listener emails/stories (including a harrowing crack/coke seizure tale from Minnesota Matt), and a full classic interview with his partner Linda. They share their raw, unfiltered relationship story—from meeting via mutual friend Todd, early partying (coke, Ativan, drinking), pregnancy amid hidden heroin relapse, family destruction during active addiction, separation, supervised visitations, Dave's bottoming out, eventual sobriety, reconciliation, and rebuilding a family with two kids. Interspersed with intros, emails, Spotify comments, voicemails, and musical interludes (Firecracker rap, song snippets), it captures Dopey's signature mix of dark humor, brutal honesty, recovery insights, and "dumb shit" war stories.The episode opens with Dave navigating recent frustrations—dealing with a guest pulling an episode due to cold feet, sponsor issues, and everyday life stressors—while emphasizing core recovery principles like acceptance, gratitude, and service over resentment. He reflects on childhood influences like Popeye's "I am what I am" mantra as a metaphor for self-acceptance in sobriety, and teases upcoming substantive guests while reading heartfelt (and critical) listener feedback. The heart of the show is the replay of a classic episode featuring Dave and Linda's candid conversation, detailing the highs and lows of their relationship: from initial attraction and drug-fueled early days, through the pregnancy discovery and Dave's escalating heroin use (including nodding out during birthing classes and missing key moments post-birth), to the devastating confrontation when Linda discovered the paraphernalia and the subsequent separation.The story doesn't shy away from the pain—Linda's isolation during a complicated delivery, Dave's rock-bottom spiral involving heavy daily use, arrests, and black eyes during supervised visits with their daughter Nora—but it ultimately lands on hope and redemption. Dave credits their daughter as a major motivator for sobriety, and the couple discusses the hard work of rebuilding trust, family life, and even welcoming a second child. Reflections on the losses of close friends Todd and Chris add emotional weight, underscoring how addiction's toll extends beyond the individual.

In episode 323 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Darren Lawrence. Darren is a qualified life coach and the Founder of Front Foot Coaching. In Darren's words, 'Front Foot Coaching is about helping you to get onto the front foot'. Darren predominantly works with middle-aged men, a demographic which is often forgotten about in the mental health space. Darren's journey didn't start in life coaching. For 17 years, he worked in large sports organisations including Sport England and The FA at regional and national levels. Interspersed within that time he gained some experience in a local authority and smaller organisations in a variety of senior roles, including CEO. He began to realise his passion for helping people was of equal level to his passion in sport, so in 2016 he enrolled on The Coaching Academy's Diploma for Personal Performance Coaching, which he qualified in, in 2017. Since then, he has taken up life coaching full-time and become self-employed, with all the highs and lows that come with that working life too. In this episode, we discuss this professional journey, from sport to life coaching and everything in-between. We then discuss the work he does specifically for middle-aged men, the issues he supports them with and the reality of the life coaching sector more widely. For Darren's mental health journey, we discuss the precarious nature of being self-employed and the importance of having a growth mindset.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Layne Negrin, author of Gurdjieff in Tibet. Divided into three parts, Part One looks at the evidence of Gurdjieff's presence in Tibet, Part Two researches the direct students of Gurdjieff who explored Tibetan or other Buddhist sects to one degree or another, and Part Three is a collection of comparative studies showing the influence of Tibetan Buddhism upon Gurdjieff's teaching. Interspersed with the author's writing on the individuals discussed in Parts One and Two are relevant texts by them, many of which were previously unavailable in English. Layne Negrin began his spiritual path in 1988, practicing the Gurdjieff tradition exclusively for 19 years, then Mahayana Buddhism (primarily the Soto Zen of Shunryu Suzuki but also the Shambhalian Buddhism of Trungpa Rinpoche) exclusively for the next 13 years, and since 2020, after having realized that the two ideologies are the same in essence, practices both. More information about Layne Negrin's work can be found at:   Gurdjieff in Tibet on Amazon: www.amazon.com,   Layne Negrin on Facebook: www.facebook.com.

his episode has a lot of moving parts. Imagine a Rube Goldberg Machine with interview snippets pinging around a maze of album reviews and blue balls jokes. I (DEM) had the privilege of interviewing Radamiz right before his live set at the Midway SF. The audio is a little rough, rugged, and raw in spots, but the interview has the crackle of real-life human interaction. Interspersed between clips of the interview, me and the bros discuss the records that are in heavy rotation for us right now: Jay Electronica's 4 Album Spasm Live, Laugh, Love (Earl Sweatshirt) The Years We Have Left (Theravada) Sortilege (Preservation & Gabe Nandez) Per usual thats me (DEM ONE) on the theme song alongside my birthday twin DJ Cutso. I produced this week's episode, and I'm not gonna lie, it kind of kicked my ass (in a good way).

This segment is a whirlwind tour through the emotional and on-field struggles of New York sports, framed by Sal's personal life updates. The show opens with a frustrated discussion about the Yankees likely losing the division due to their loss, questioning their ability to succeed in the postseason with a struggling Anthony Volpe at shortstop. The conversation then shifts to the New York Giants and Jets, with insider Brian Baldinger dissecting their week two losses and highlighting glaring issues in both teams' performances. Interspersed throughout the serious sports analysis are comedic anecdotes from Sal, including a disastrous family dinner and his decision to go to an Adam Sandler concert alone, a detail that becomes a running joke and serves as a humorous contrast to the week's grim sports news.

Eleanor of Aquitaine is best known as the wife of England's Henry II, the mother of his numerous children—including two kings, Richard the Lionheart and his infamous brother John, of Magna Carta fame—and perhaps for her long incarceration at Henry's insistence after their burning romance turned to ashes. What is often forgotten is that Eleanor, before she ever met Henry, ruled as queen of France for fifteen years. About a decade into her marriage, Eleanor accompanied her husband, King Louis VII, on the Second Crusade to re-establish Christian control over Jerusalem. In The Queen's Companion (Cuidono Press, 2025), this is where her story intersects with that of Lucy Pick's narrator, Lady Aude, who has her own reasons for traveling from Europe to the Holy Land. Interspersed with the events of the Second Crusade, told from the point of view of the crusaders and witnessed by Aude as Eleanor's lady-in-waiting, is Aude's own history, which she presents in the form of stories to Eleanor and her women. Aude is ruthlessly honest in revealing her own flaws and errors as well as her triumphs, and through her voice Lucy Pick creates a character—at times unlikable, but always indomitable and even admirable, much like Eleanor herself—who shines a spotlight onto medieval life in all its complexity. Lucy Pick, a historian of the thought and culture of medieval Spain, taught for over twenty years at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. The Queen's Companion is her second novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in 2025.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year's success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May's solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders' poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver's elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina's porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers' quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina's ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson's historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson's breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns' passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco's chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland's passing attack matches well against Cincinnati's suspect defense and that Flacco's recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week's most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing. For fans and bettors alike, it offers a blend of strategy, insight, and practical plays to launch the NFL season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Summary: Let's talk about babies, baby! Today our hosts discuss books featuring pregnant protagonists. This is especially timely given that Holly is pregnant (and upon release, perhaps Baby has already arrived!). Whether you're looking for an unexpected romance or a real look into vulnerability and perseverance, reading works centered on pregnant folks is a great avenue to go down. Note: Given the imminent arrival of Holly's baby, we will be going on a hiatus after our 90th episode, through the summer and fall. We will keep you all posted from there about what's next as Holly gets adjusted to this new phase of life—in the meantime, thanks for your patience and of course we have 90 episodes you can revisit at any time in case you miss us.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (4:28): Devin discussed Ready or Not by Cara Bastone, a novel following Eve Hatch after a one night stand leads to an unintended pregnancy. Living in Brooklyn with a dream-adjacent career, best friends, and a cozy if not exciting life, Eve now has her whole future thrown into uncertainty. Whether it's collaborating with her baby daddy or increasingly relying on her best friend's brother, Shep, Eve needs to figure out what she really wants now, beyond her child. Devin's key takeaways were: The portrayal of pregnancy and the pacing of this story by Bastone give the reader time to experience (secondhand) the trajectory of those pivotal 9 months and how Eve navigates not only her growing belly but also her growing network and expanding world. With ups and downs, excitement and fear, whether you've been pregnant before or not you should expect to empathize and better understand that experience.  While there are romantic elements to this book, it's not a very intense or dramatic part of the book. The greater emotional arc of the book is around found family for Eve and the way she explores platonic and romantic intimacy outside of sexuality. If you're looking for a slow burn, emotionally intelligent connection, this book is for you.  As the reader follows Eve from her predictable and controlled life in Brooklyn into this surprising and unexpected future, we explore how she learns to embrace the unexpected and let go of her need to control her life too much. The best laid plans almost never work out and for Eve, that might be a great thing.  The Dagger (15:48): Holly discussed Tilt by Emma Pattee, a climate fiction story following Annie, a 37-week-pregnant woman who is shopping in IKEA when a massive earthquake - modeled after the predicted Cascadia Subduction Zone event - devastates Portland, OR. Trapped momentarily amidst the chaos, she escapes the huge store only to find the city in ruins: communication lines are down, infrastructure is destroyed, and everyone is panicking. With no way to get in touch with her husband, Annie embarks on a treacherous journey across the city to reunite with him. Holly's key takeaways were: Throughout her journey, Annie grapples with her identity and the societal expectations of motherhood. She reflects on her past aspirations, including her abandoned dream of becoming a playwright, and how these unfulfilled ambitions intersect with her current role as a mother-to-be. The narrative delves into her internal conflicts, questioning traditional notions of maternal instinct and the societal pressures placed upon mothers.  The earthquake serves as a catalyst for Annie's transformation. Initially portrayed as overwhelmed and uncertain, her experiences during the disaster compel her to confront her fears and reassess her priorities. This journey mirrors the transformative process of becoming a mother, highlighting themes of growth, sacrifice, and the redefinition of self. Annie's odyssey underscores the human capacity to endure and adapt in the face of overwhelming adversity. Throughout her journey, Annie meets a spectrum of individuals—some offering aid, others posing danger—each interaction shedding light on human nature in crisis. Interspersed with her physical journey are Annie's reflections on her past: her career aspirations, the strains in her marriage, and her ambivalence about motherhood.
