In this episode we discuss the following: Williams Syndrome, which occurs in about one in 10,000 people, makes people incapable of distrust, so people with Williams Syndrome love everyone (and they want to hug everyone). And in return, people love those with Williams Syndrome. I love what Williams Syndrome teaches us. It's not always about what we say, or how we say it. But rather, if we are genuinely curious about people and want to connect with them, they will feel it, and they will be forgiving if we aren't the most articulate or charismatic.

In this bonus episode we're telling you our sometimes troubling childhood relationship with dolls and giving you a brief history of the doll of all dolls— Barbie. from her German Lilli doll roots to her status as a global icon, Barbie has come a long way since she was created by Ruth Handler in 1959 and she has had a lasting and divisive impact on popular culture. From being named after the creator's own daughter, Barbara, to getting her own boyfriend named after the creator's son, Kenneth, in 1961. Suing Cindy, Suing Bratz. Malibu Stacy, Robert the Doll, what happened to Midge's baby? Where's Alan? Is there an Adam or was he just a torso in a toy box?With Barbiecore on the rise and the release of the trailer for the soon to be Greta Gerwig summer blockbuster, Barbie's legacy remains strong. After all, she's more than just a doll – she's an idea, a symbol, an astronaut, an Olympian, she's been president— she forever retains a perfect arch with her perfect plastic feet, she's a blank slate, an icon— she's everything.Shop broadsnextstore.com to support our show Sources:The Secret Life of Barbie, ABC News, 1999Tiny Shoulders, documentary, Hulu, 2019The Take, The Rise of Barbiecore, How Feminism Became Hot Pink and The Barbie Movie YouTube, 2022Robin Gerber, Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World's Most Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her The Island of the Dolls, NPR, 2017Robert the Haunted Doll, South Florida PBS, 2014My Modern Met, Barbie: The History and Legacy of the World's Most Famous DollBy Madeleine Muzdakis on February 14, 2022This day in history: Barbie doll makes her debut in 1959, CBS NewsThe Barbie Doll's Not-for-Kids Origins, Time Magazine, Jennifer Latson, 2015This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5803223/advertisement

Today we're talking about the Radium Girls and the Unsolved Death of Karen Silkwood. Normally, we'd never start any story reflecting on the dead with “she lit up a room,” but the radium girls aren't really a story as much as they are a lesson, and when we say they lit up a room we mean it in a literal sense. Not only did radium girls make three times more money than the average factory worker but when they left the studio where they painted watch dials all day, they actually glowed. Radium was safe, everyone knew that. Not only safe but kind of sexy, kind of glamorous. With radium spas and facial potions, you couldn't open up a paper without seeing the benefits of radium. And they believed in these benefits, until you know, their bones started falling out. How did the Radium Girls find justice? We will also tell you the story of Karen Silkwood, a worker at Kerr-Mcgee Plutonium factory in the 1970s, who became a whistleblower and safety activist, after witnessing her coworkers fall ill due to plutonium exposure. After joining the Union, and speaking out about her concerns, Karen became exposed herself. A week later she died. We will unpack the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death, and the Academy Award nominated film, starring Meryl Steep, Kurt Russell, and Cher, inspired by her life.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri and Manya talk about how friends can be the antidote to loneliness.Humans are social animals, and that collaboration has enabled us to survive as a species. Loneliness "is an aversive state that has evolved as a signal to change behavior, very much like hunger, thirst, or physical pain, to motivate us to renew the connections we need to survive and prosper."We all feel lonely at times. Profound loneliness is an issue that hides in plain site--we don't necessarily see it as a threat. Yet it can be as big as risk factor to premature death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.  Feeling disconnected from people puts us on alert to change that situation and look for meaningful engagement. Reaching out to others and building friendships can be the cure for loneliness.

Twenty years ago this year, Japan was to become a nuclear wasteland, according to the leader of a sect who claimed that the only survivors would be his followers and 10% of the major cities.
