I am back with a brand new episode and I want to share with yiu guys what I've been up to recently and a hobby that I developed a love for....Cycling.I'll talk about all this and more in this episode!also I'm back with a spoken word poetry performance in which I hope you all enjoy!

When Savannah Miller found out she was pregnant with her fourth child at 47, she knew this was going to be a learning moment.  “I can't have a home birth these days.  It's not considered to be safe. So I'm having to kind of adjust my expectations around what my birth is gonna look like and just hope that I can kind of retain some of that peaceful, beautiful, connected time with the baby however he comes out,” she told Chioma on this week's episode of The Run-Through with Vogue.  Inspired by her younger sister, actress Sienna Miller who recently had her third child at 44, Savannah is excited to see her blended family grow and for her husband James (who she married four years ago) to experience being a first time dad. “He's stunned, to be honest. There are still moments where he's, like, disbelieving, but mostly, he talks to him all the time. And he, plays The Beatles, relentlessly. He's like, "That will be your favorite music."  As for the misconceptions of being an older parent, Savannah believes there are actually more positives than people realize. As someone who had to balance being a young mom to three kids while building a fashion brand, she's ready to embrace ease and also confide in her support system when needed.  “My son's 21 so he's gonna be more like an uncle to this child. Knowing that I have those people that will really kind of hold this child up in his life was a massive kind of helper in deciding that this was a good thing to do.” Earlier in the episode, Chioma breaks down her August Cover with Daisy Edgar Jones to Chloe. The pair also chat about sports (BTW: we are sad about England!), Charli xcx's secret concert in London, Chloe's trip to the Hamptons, and Teen Vogue Fest! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Most of what builds a great business doesn't happen in one big move. Gautam Baid, fund manager and author of The Joys of Compounding, joins the Rental Roundtable to talk about how small, steady habits compound into extraordinary results over time — in investing, in business, and in life. From persistence through 1,300 job rejections to why quality always wins in a downturn, this conversation has as much to teach a rental operator as it does an investor.

What is it really like to become a radiologist? In this episode of The Joys of Radiology, Dr. Gautam Agrawal sits down with three Johns Hopkins radiology residents, Dr. Selin Ocal, Dr. Molly Pasque, and Dr. Shefali Jain, for an honest conversation about training, mentorship, AI, and the moments that make radiology so rewarding. They share how they first discovered radiology, the misconceptions they had before residency, and why the specialty is far more collaborative, social, and subjective than many people realize. They also discuss how confidence develops one case at a time, the role of case-based learning and oral boards, and why mistakes can become some of the most memorable learning experiences. The conversation also explores what AI could mean for the future of radiology, how radiologists can remain visible and valuable as clinical consultants, and the patient cases that reminded each resident why their work matters. Whether you are a medical student considering radiology, a resident navigating training, or an experienced radiologist reflecting on your own career, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the joy, growth, and responsibility that come with learning to see what others cannot.

People often assume that someone with brown eyes appears more trustworthy than someone with blue eyes. Research suggests there may be something to that belief—but not for the reason most people think. In fact, eye color may have very little to do with it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3541379/ Pain seems simple. You get hurt, you feel pain. Problem solved. Except it isn't that simple at all. Why can two people experience the same injury yet report very different levels of pain? How can amputees feel excruciating pain in a limb that no longer exists? Scientists now understand that pain is not merely a signal sent from the body to the brain. Instead, pain is a complex experience shaped by biology, psychology, memory, expectations, emotions, and environment. Dr. Rachel Zoffness, a leading pain expert on the faculty at UCSF School of Medicine, joins me to explain what modern science has discovered about pain, why many traditional assumptions about it are wrong, and how understanding pain differently may help people suffer less. She is author of Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal (https://amzn.to/4afunMR). Life has become incredibly convenient. We no longer unfold paper maps, collect ticket stubs, browse record stores, save newspaper clippings, or carry around many of the physical objects that once filled everyday life. Digital technology has made countless tasks faster and easier—but has something been lost along the way? Ian Bogost believes the answer is yes. He argues that many of the small physical experiences we've eliminated weren't just clutter or inefficiency. They added texture, meaning, memory, and satisfaction to life. In our conversation, he explains how the disappearance of these seemingly insignificant things may be quietly changing our relationship with the world and what we can do to reclaim some of what we've lost. Ian is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life (https://amzn.to/3SDVFXf). You've probably heard the travel hack: search for airline tickets too many times and the price will go up. That's why some people clear their browser history, use incognito mode, or switch devices before booking a flight. But does any of that actually work?

John welcomes Avett Brothers bassist Bob Crawford to discuss his new book, “America's Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, From President to Political Maverick.” Crawford explains how JQA, after a mediocre single term in the Oval Office, blossomed into America's “most extraordinary ex-president” and arguably its greatest all-around public servant; the evolution of his popular history podcast The Road to Now; and the genesis of the recent, seemingly unlikely collab between The Avett Brothers and Faith No More frontman Mike Patton.

This piece is essential listening for anyone interested in modern academic publishing. Recorded at the Collaborative Clinical Trials Meeting in Prato, Italy, TopMedTalk hosts Kate Leslie and Mike Grocott speak with Eric Rubin (Editor-in-Chief, New England Journal of Medicine) and Jocalyn Clark (International Editor, BMJ) about medical publishing. The conversation covers, engaging with clinical researchers and seeing impactful work. How AI can help authors—especially non-native English speakers—while raising concerns about confidentiality, inaccurate or fabricated content, reviewer misuse, governance policies that struggle to keep pace, and AI-generated correspondence overwhelming journals. They explore how AI affects originality and idea generation, note an NEJM AI experiment using AI reviews, and consider how journals should communicate beyond clinicians to address misinformation and declining attention, while maintaining trust and collaborating more across publishing and science. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

This episode, we're stepping back to the golden age of natural history podcasting by resurrecting the format of the classic show Wild Ideas: The Podcast. Joining us on the trail is one of the OG hosts: the man himself, Gordon Maupin. It's a 3-way team-up where each of us brings a heavy-hitting seasonal mystery to the table.First, Steve unravels the rule-breaking world of the Ambystoma polyploid salamander complex, where unisexual lineages are mixing up DNA from different species and blurring the lines of what makes a species a species. Then, Gordon shrinks things down to look at the world of duckweed ecology, a group that includes the smallest flowering plants in the world. Finally, Bill turns our eyes to the skies over the marsh to pull back the curtain on dragonfly migration, looking into the recent science that shows some dragonfly species are multi-generational continental travelers (as well as badass predators).Come listen in as Gordon and the guys answer the question, “What's going on outside?” (Wild Ideas fans, that's for you)This episode was reecorded at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, NY on May 13, 2026.Episode LinksCheck out the Iroquois National Wildlife Refige and their Bald Eagle Cam.Here's the New York Times article about 7 Podcasts About the Joys of Bird Watching that includes a mention of our show.Episode NotesGetting The Great Egret's Latin Name RightDuring a quick aside this episode, Gordon spotted a Great Egret and Steve tried to recall its scientific name, tentatively going with Erodea alba. He wasn't entirely wrong! The correct name is Ardea alba.While alba means "white," Ardea is Latin for "heron." It also ties back to the ancient myth by everyone's favorite Roman poet Ovid, who wrote about a bird rising directly from the ashes of the burned city of Ardea. What's the Deal With Axolotls?We wondered if the axolotl is in the same genus as the Jefferson and blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma) and yes they are!Species: A. mexicanum (Axolotl) Unlike most members of Ambystomatidae—which typically metamorphose into terrestrial adults—the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny (or paedomorphosis). This is where an organism retains juvenile or larval traits into adulthood. Axolotls retains its aquatic, larval features (like its signature feathery external gills) into adulthood and spends its entire life in the water Bill's Hard Claim on ID'ing Jefferson Salamanders Bill said there is no way we could tell if it was a Jefferson salamander: is that true? Bill was basically right if we're talking about visually confirming a female-looking salamander in a blue-spotted/Jefferson overlap zone. Many unisexual individuals cannot be confidently identified by sight, and genetic testing is the clean answer. But during the breeding season, a male with a swollen cloaca is not part of the all-female unisexual lineage, so that can help narrow things down. So, a male in breeding condition can sometimes be identified much more confidently than a female/unisexual-looking animal, but you need to have serious knowledge about species location, morphology, and breeding-season characteristics. The Jefferson Complex vs. the Bigger Unisexual Salamander SituationDuring the episode, Bill had a “wait, what are we even talking about?” moment while Steve was explaining the huge all-female/unisexual Ambystoma salamander lineage.Steve was talking about the big-picture version: a bizarre evolutionary group that can involve genomes from several mole salamander species, including Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Tiger Salamanders.Bill, though, was thinking what we hear more about in the Northeast and Great Lakes region: the “Jefferson complex,” or the Blue-spotted/Jefferson Salamander mess. Around here, that usually means you can't usually ID a Jefferson Salamanders or a Blue-spotted Salamander down to species because the sally in front of you may belong to the all-female, polyploid lineage that can't be confidently sorted out just by looking at them.So Bill's question was basically: “Hold on. Is this identification nightmare only a Jefferson/Blue-spotted thing, or does it happen with the other species too?”And the answer is: yep. It can happen with the others too.The narrower Jefferson complex usually refers to the Blue-spotted/Jefferson part of the story, especially in places where those are the main overlapping species. But when scientists zoom out and include the other players (Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Eastern Tiger Salamanders) they usually refer to the whole thing as the unisexual Ambystoma lineage.So the practical field takeaway is this: in places where these species overlap, a female-looking Ambystoma salamander may be impossible to identify with confidence by appearance alone. Even experts may only be making an educated guess unless they use genetic testing. Measuring red blood cell size can help estimate ploidy (basically, whether the animal has extra chromosome sets) but DNA testing is the real way to know which genomes are actually in there. Is Duckweed the Smallest Flowering Plant? Yes, but specifically a microscopic type of it. The world's smallest flowering plants belong to the genus Wolffia - Often referred to as "rootless duckweed" or "watermeal," they are the tiniest members of the duckweed family (Lemnaceae) Individual Wolffia plants are usually less than 1 mm long, roughly the size of a pinhead or cornmeal, and the flowers are correspondingly microscopic.Unlike standard duckweed (Lemna), Wolffia plants do not have roots and appear simply as tiny floating green spheres or oval seeds.The plant produces the world's smallest flower, which forms in a tiny depression on the plant's top surface.Because they are so small and have highly efficient asexual budding, they can easily cover a pond in dense mats before you ever notice an individual plant. Can be found across temperate and tropical regions of North, Central, and South America Correction: Ed Yong's An Immense World (UV, not Infrared)During the episode, Bill mentioned Ed Yong's phenomenal book, An Immense World, and noted that researchers are increasingly discovering how many animals can see in the infrared spectrum. His memory slipped slightly on this one! Yong actually discusses the growing scientific realization that many animals see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, not infrared. (Though as you'll see below, dragonflies do have a few tricks up their sleeves on the other end of the spectrum). Gordon's Question: Infrared Vision & Dragonfly MatingBill's misremembering of what was in An Immense World was prompted by Gordon asking a fantastic question during the recording: Can dragonflies see in the infrared spectrum, and if they can, are they using it to navigate during migration?First, a quick clarification: when most of us hear “infrared,” we immediately picture thermal imaging — animals glowing in the dark, Predator vision, that whole thing. That is not what we're talking about here. Dragonflies do not appear to see heat signatures.What they may be able to see is near-infrared — light just beyond the deepest red wavelengths visible to humans. Near-infrared is not heat vision. It is more like an invisible extension of red.According to a recent study published in January 2026 by researchers in Osaka, Japan, some dragonfly species have visual pigments that are sensitive to extremely long red wavelengths, possibly reaching into the near-infrared edge of the spectrum. That alone is pretty wild. But the discovery also highlights a striking example of parallel evolution between insects and primates. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of humans and other primates evolved molecular changes that helped produce red-sensitive vision. This new research suggests that some dragonflies may have independently evolved a similar molecular tuning mechanism for detecting red light. However, while primate red vision operates within the visible spectrum, some dragonflies appear to have pushed that sensitivity even farther, toward the boundary between deep red and near-infrared.So what are they doing with this ability? Probably not navigating migration, at least as far as we know.The better-supported idea is that this long-wavelength vision helps dragonflies identify mates quickly in flight. Male and female dragonflies can reflect red and near-infrared light differently, especially against green vegetation. So for an animal making split-second decisions while zipping around at high speed, that extra visual contrast could be a big deal. So to answer Gordon's question, dragonflies may be seeing farther into the red/near-infrared edge of the spectrum than we can, but based on what researchers currently know, they're probably using that ability for rapid sex recognition, not long-distance navigation. It's more of a high-speed dragonfly dating filter than infrared GPS.The Missing Piece: Visual Cues and "Leading Lines" in MigrationOne big element Bill neglected to mention in covering how dragonfies navigate during migration is the VISUAL piece – that they also use what they're seeing! That is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Dragonflies are also extremely visual animals. Those huge compound eyes are not just for decoration. So, what they're seeing is likely a key piece in their migration toolbox. Migrating dragonflies are often observed moving along major landscape features: coastlines, mountain ridges, river valleys, and other long, continuous edges. Biologists sometimes refer to these kinds of features as leading lines, because they can help guide or funnel migrating animals across the landscape.That doesn't mean a dragonfly is looking down and thinking, “Ah yes, the Susquehanna River. I'll take this south.” But these landscape features can still matter in several ways.Coastlines can keep migrants from drifting too far over open water, which is risky for an insect that eventually needs to land, rest, and feed.Mountain ridges and long hillsides can create useful air currents and updrafts, allowing dragonflies to ride favorable winds and conserve energy.River corridors can provide both a visual pathway and good stopover habitat, with water, vegetation, and plenty of small flying insects to eat when they need to refuel.The overall migration story for dragonflies probably isn't “dragonflies have one magic compass.” It's more like they are combining a bunch of cues at once: the visual structure of the landscape below them, as well as the elements covered during the episode. Steve's Questions: Resident vs. Migratory Green Darners & The Thermal Genetic SwitchDuring the episode, Steve asked two really good questions about Common Green Darners: if some are migratory and some are resident, how do they know which group to mate with? And could temperature be the thing that nudges a young darner down one path or the other?The first answer is surprisingly simple: they probably don't know, and they probably don't care.For a long time, researchers assumed these groups were reproductively isolated, believing residents emerged and died before the migratory cohort reached adulthood, but modern research has overturned this idea. According to a comprehensive review by Michael L. May and John H. Matthews, adult flight periods absolutely overlap in mid-summer, and genetic testing reveals zero genetic differentiation between the groups. The entire continental population belongs to a single, randomly mating gene pool. So when a Common Green Darner is ready to mate, it is probably not checking whether the other darner is from the “resident” or “migratory” team. It is just mating with another mature Common Green Darner in the same airspace. Very romantic. Very dragonfly.Steve's second question gets at something even more interesting: what makes one generation migrate while another stays put?This is where temperature, day length, and seasonal timing seem to matter a lot. A Green Darner nymph developing in warm water during long summer days may be pushed toward faster development. That can produce adults that emerge, feed heavily, build up energy reserves, and migrate south in late summer or fall.But if nymphs are developing as temperatures drop and days get shorter, their development can slow down. Instead of rushing to become adults, they may overwinter as aquatic nymphs and emerge the following year. Those individuals can then become part of the resident breeding population in northern ponds.So Steve's instinct was basically right: environmental conditions appear to play a huge role in shaping whether a darner develops quickly and migrates, or slows down and overwinters.The only thing to be careful about is the phrase “genetic switch.” There probably are changes in gene expression involved. Temperature and day length can absolutely affect how insects develop, but in Common Green Darners, we should probably think of it less as a single switch being flipped and more as a whole developmental pathway being shaped by the environment.The short version: migratory and resident Green Darners are not separate species or rival dragonfly factions. They appear to be part of one big, mixed population whose life cycle can play out in different ways depending on timing, temperature, and local conditions.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsThank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Works CitedHallworth, M.

Most people wait for opportunity. The best ones sell their way into it. Enjoyed my conversation with Fred Fisher. 50+ years in business. Still sharp. Still curious. 4 things that stuck: 1 - Opportunity is sold — not given. At 17, he talked his way into a French kitchen in Grenoble. Sales isn't a department. It's a life skill. 2 - Listening wins. Great mentors don't preach. They ask questions that flip the light switch. 3 - Technology scales. Humans close. Email is efficient. The phone builds trust. 4 - If you want to grow faster than the people around you — pick up the phone. Never stop learning.   --- Frederick Fisher, J.D., CCP, is a seasoned expert in Professional Liability with a career spanning over 50 years. Renowned for his dedication to client financial security, he advocates for providing clients with strong financial safeguards, letting competitors focus on ""selling some insurance."" Fisher serves on the Editorial Board of Agents of America, is an original faculty member at the Claims College's School of Professional Lines (sponsored by the Claims & Litigation Management Association) and has been the Senior Technical Advisor for over 30 years on a research manual titled Professional Liability Insurance published by the International Risk Management Institute. A founding member and Past President of the over 40,000-member strong Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS), he was awarded the PLUS Founders Award in 2019. In addition to his roles in education and advisory, Fisher is a prolific writer and speaker. He authored the 2024 publication "Claims Made Insurance - The Policy That Changed the Industry" (published by the Insurance Journal/Wells Publishing Co.) and has over 80 industry-related articles to his name, along with more than 150 industry-related presentations and classes. Fisher's career began with two decades as a Professional Lines Claims Adjuster, specializing in Professional Liability claims, qualitative claim audits, risk management, and loss control. Later, he founded ELM Insurance Brokers, where he led as CEO for over 20 years. Currently, he consults as a Subject Matter Expert for several PLUS RPLU courses, advises A.M. Best as a recommended expert, and provides expert witness testimony. Known for his insights into "The Gotchya's that'll Getchya ™ 1" of Executive Liability and Specialty Lines Insurance, he remains a trusted advisor to businesses navigating complex liability landscapes. Fred not only has a remarkable sense of humor, but also knows how to explain complex insurance contract language in a way that is understandable to everyone. Having grown up with an educated palate, Fred is an excellent cook.

Justification is the fountain head of the hymn that justified people sing. I. We rejoice in hope! II. We rejoice in our trials because they purify that hope. III. We rejoice ultimately in God who is the consummation of our hope.

Tell you what, there aren't many times in sport I find myself supporting an Australian team. By not many I mean basically none – usually, I'd be delighted to see them getting pumped. The Football World Cup is maybe the only the only occasion I feel differently because it's about the only time the Aussies feel like genuine underdogs. They've had a tough few hours, this morning. The underdog dynamic is one of the unique joys of a Football World Cup. Take Cabo Verde. I'd guess most people wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start trying to find them on a map, and yet they held Spain, the talent-stacked and one of the obvious favourites for the title, to a nil-all draw. Who would've thought scoring no goals could be so exciting?! Another unique joy I love about the World Cup —and I know this sounds bad— is the advertising. You just get biggest brands in the world, with the biggest creative budgets, combining with the biggest icons in the sport. And because football is so simple, it lends itself to really clever little concepts. Take McDonalds. I know, I know, I know... But they posted an ad the other day designed for the TikTok generation – vertical video, designed for phones. I don't even think it's on TV. But it's honestly genius in its simplicity. Lamine Yamal, the Spanish wunderkind, just 18-years-old and one of the biggest names in world sport, sets up a phone camera in front of a McDonalds, the golden arches on a pole behind him. Ronaldinho, the Brazilian icon steps into shot. Both of them are in casual clothes. You'd swear they'd just bumped into each other on the street. They toss up a football and each casually juggle it a few times. The shot never changes. It looks exactly like it would look if you or I leaned our phones against the curb and recorded it. After a few seconds, Yamal kicks the ball high and it juuuuust misses the McDonalds golden arches. Another ball immediately rolls into shot, they each juggle it again, and Ronaldinho kicks it up, perfectly slotting the ball through the little gap in the McDonalds ‘M'. They laugh, and that's it. No words. No meals. No biting cheeseburgers. So simple. So shareable. And from a creative perspective, honestly, so clever. The third thing I love about Football World Cups —aside from the football— are the fans. I just don't think there is another sporting contest where you have huge, organised groups of fans coming from all corners of the planet. The Olympics might attract people from all over, but they're not organised in the same way. And I love how different nations have their own quirks and traditions. The Scottish fans have completely taken over Boston. An estimated 20,000 travelled to the city for their teams matches against Haiti and Morocco. The US media is awash with stories about the Scottish fans literally drinking bars dry around the city. After their first World Cup win in 36 years, they marched across the city, led by pipers, and completely took over Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox. It was so funny watching it... American baseball fans outnumbered in a stadium by Scots in kilts, singing Flower of Scotland. But then add to that the fans from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Most of them were singing and dancing in the stands, but they have a tradition where one man stands as a perfect statue for all of his team's game. He commemorates his country's first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, the man who helped lead Congo to independence from Belgium. He wears beautiful bright clothes and amidst the frenzy of the activity around him, even when his team scores, he stands above the masses, perfect and almost unsettlingly still for the whole game. Still, how you could go past the Japanese? I'm not sure there's a greater act of soft power in all of world sport than having fans who carefully collect all of the rubbish and clean up the grandstands at the end of every game. For all of the controversy and all of the appalling grift, there can be no denying it is the global game. I haven't even mentioned the football. But I for one am utterly absorbed.

Reporting assignments can often lead to unexpected joys and lessons. That was the case when NPR's Natalie Escobar and Ava Berger were sent on the road to tag along with three teenage boys competing in the World Series of Birding. The teens had 24 hours to crisscross New Jersey and tally up the number of bird species they spotted. For this week's Reporter's Notebook we hear from Escobar and Berger about how the assignment was both challenging and illuminating.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode of The Joys of Radiology, host Dr. Gautam Agarwal sits down with Dr. Erin Gomez, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Program Director of Diagnostic and Molecular Imaging Residencies at Johns Hopkins, for a conversation about building a meaningful life and career in medicine. Before becoming an award-winning radiologist and educator, Dr. Gomez was an engineering student working with NASA contractors at the Kennedy Space Center. What followed was an unexpected journey into radiology, where she discovered a passion for imaging, education, mentorship, and leadership. Together, they explore what brings joy to radiology, how great educators inspire the next generation of physicians, the evolving role of AI in radiology education, and the importance of creating a sustainable career without sacrificing the things that matter most outside of medicine. From teaching anatomy and mentoring residents to balancing academic medicine with family life, Dr. Gomez shares thoughtful insights on finding purpose, embracing growth, and leading with empathy. Most importantly, she leaves listeners with a simple but powerful piece of advice: "Run toward fear."

“Step into the crucible of a 1970s surgical residency, where dreams are forged, and the human spirit is tested to its absolute limits.” Michael M.

As I sat down with Diane Shiffer, I was awestruck by her radiant perspective on joy, especially in a world that often feels engulfed in darkness. Diane, known as the Internet's favorite nana, believes in the transformative power of small joys. As I listened, I realized that joy isn't about waiting for the grand moments; it's about practicing gratitude and noticing the little things that lift our spirits. Diane's journey is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and self-compassion. Her book, "The Smallest of Joys," teaches us that embracing imperfections and offering ourselves grace are essential steps to living a joyful life. This conversation reminded me of the importance of rest and grace as fuel for productivity, rather than distractions from it. If there's one takeaway from my conversation with Diane, it's that we should start noticing and celebrating those small moments of joy that we often overlook in our daily hustle.

In this episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd take on a topic that doesn't get nearly enough honest airtime: the joys, challenges, and deeply personal realities of not being a mother.Right out of the gate, they dismantle the idea that motherhood is some universal default setting. Professor Aubrey brings her signature insight and sharp wit to a conversation about what life can look like when that path isn't chosen—whether by circumstance, intention, or somewhere in between. From having greater control over time and identity to pursuing passions, careers, creativity, and relationships on their own terms, the episode highlights the benefits of choosing not to be a mother without framing it as a rejection of those who do.But it's not all smooth sailing. The duo digs into the societal pressure that still looms large—those subtle (and not-so-subtle) expectations from family, culture, media, and even strangers who think it's their business. You know the ones: “You'll change your mind,” “Who will take care of you later?” or the classic side-eye at holidays. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd unpack how these narratives get internalized, how they can create doubt or guilt, and why they persist despite shifting cultural norms.They also explore how conversations around reproductive rights tie directly into personal autonomy. This isn't framed as a debate—it's a discussion about respecting individual choice, recognizing that fulfillment doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all blueprint, and understanding that people's reasons are often complex, private, and valid.Along the way, they touch on identity, legacy, relationships, and what it means to build a meaningful life outside of traditional expectations. There's humor, there's honesty, and there are definitely a few moments where Tim The Nerd pokes at the absurdity of societal norms like a guy who just realized the “rules” were made up to begin with.The heart of the episode is simple but powerful: whether someone chooses motherhood, chooses not to, or is still figuring it out, that decision deserves respect—full stop. No disclaimers. No pressure. No unsolicited opinions from Aunt Karen at Thanksgiving.Support Friends Talking Nerdy on ⁠Patreon⁠.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Send us Fan MailDr. Rachel Moseley on Autistic Suicide Prevention, Masking, Misdiagnosis, and Autistic Menopause Host Tony Mantor in Nashville welcomes returning guest Dr. Rachel Mosley to discuss her UK-based research on autistic suicidality, self-injury, masking/burnout, misdiagnosis, and menopause. Mosley explains that changes in autistic suicide rates are hard to track due to delayed and incomplete reporting, and cites data indicating suicide as the leading cause of death in autistic children in the National Child Mortality Database, likely undercounted due to missed diagnoses. Autistic participants in her research emphasize suicide prevention requires systemic societal change addressing stigma, discrimination, bullying, education accessibility, employment, financial security, and healthcare. They discuss clinicians mistaking autism for mental illness, common misdiagnosis as borderline personality disorder, the safety-driven nature of masking, and the complex emotions and relief of late diagnosis. Moseley challenges the “lack of empathy” narrative and highlights autistic joy through passions, sensory joy, and stimming. She also presents her book, "Autistic Menopause," featuring interviews with 16 autistic people.
