Easter IV, 2025.

For many Black women, the hair salon is a cultural safe space, where stories and secrets help build an intimate community. In SpeakEasy Stage's production of the Tony-winning play, “Jaja's African Hair Braiding,” the West African immigrants who do the braiding and the customers seeking their services come together in a funny play that also explores serious current-day immigration policies. Three members of the cast and crew join Callie to talk more about the production.

Anthony Signorelli, aka Tony, endured the poor mental health of his wife, until her death due to cancer. With two young daughters at home the challenge was beyond the ability to function. Tony shares his story of trying to support and help his wife during this horrific experience, while running a business and keeping the household together. Tony also share his experience of being adopted at birth, and his findings of the commonalities concerning adoption along the way. He speaks of the natural fear of being abandoned, the fear of being left alone, the pain of having early life dreams squashed, and the feeling of never being able to live up. The risk of suicide plagued Tony's house, and we discuss how much of this chaos began to create another void. Roger shares his own experiences with his mother and her poor mental health, Roger's struggle with depression, writing into grief,  and the much larger theme of finding and living with truth. A vibrant conversation arises about acceptance, forgiveness, grace, allowance, and truth. Tony and Roger are both writers, and they have clearly spent thousands of hours by themselves figuring shit out. The net result of this episode is one of vulnerability, sharing, learning, and growing. The nuggets and valuable takeaways are many. The book:Daddy, Why Were You A Drug Addict?: Winning the War Amid My Angel and Devil Withinby Roger Ray BirdISBN 979-8218286651Available on Amazon for $11Roger's social directory: HERE

Justin Hite has worked with some of Kaua‘i's rarest forest birds like the ʻAkekeʻe and the ‘Akikiki, down to the last individuals in the remote ʻAlakaʻi rain forests. As the former field supervisor of the Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project over a decade, he helped track and collect eggs of these incredibly rare birds for captive propagation to establish “emergency” populations in the event of their extinction in the wild. His career as a birder spans decades across multiple continents and countries to Kauai where he spent over 1,000 field nights camping in remote terrain. He talks about his field adventures and his current work on the Birds Not Mosquitos project which aims to reduce the most serious existential threat to Hawaiian honeycreepers: fatal diseases carried by mosquitoes.

Have you ever pondered the fact that the universe is expanding? And not only that, it's expanding at an increasing speed - meaning everything around us is getting further and further away? If that isolating thought makes you feel slightly panicked, don't worry: this programme also contains wine!Brian Schmidt is a Distinguished Professor of Astrophysics at the Australian National University, known for his work on supernovae: massive explosions that take place when stars come to the ends of their lives. They are among the most energetic events in the universe and incredibly difficult to find; but that's what his High-Z Supernova Search Team did, identifying enough of these rare and distant explosions to measure just how fast they were moving away from us.This led them to the realisation that, contrary to long-held belief in cosmology, the expansion of the universe was speeding up; a discovery which earned Brian a share of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics. As if that wasn't enough, he's gone on to discover one of the earliest stars in the universe; run a university; and become a winemaker, at his very own vineyard just outside Canberra.In a conversation spanning the genius phraseology of writer Douglas Adams, the importance of pisco sours, and the similarities between astronomy and viticulture, Brian tells Professor Jim Al-Khalili how his supernovae breakthrough paved the way for a revolution in astronomy - and where the field needs to go next...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor

Los Angeles, 1969. The air hums with peace, love, and revolution—until it doesn't. A string of brutal murders rips through the city, orchestrated by a man with wild eyes and a twisted gospel: Charles Manson. The CIA. The FBI. MKUltra. Mind control. Cults. Conspiracy. These aren't just buzzwords—they're threads in a tapestry so dark, so tangled, it has haunted investigators for decades. We're revisiting the Manson Family Murders—not the story you know, but the one Tom O'Neill uncovered in Chaos. A story where evil walks hand in hand with something far creepier: the possibility that Manson wasn't just a madman, but a pawn in a mind-control game run by the U.S. government. Buckle up, folks. This one's going to get freaky. ------- TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Good Luck, Christian 1:44 - Theme Music  3:04 - The Warm Up / Thanks For All The Reviews 4:56 - Manson, Mind Control & MK Ultra  5:31 - Polanski is a Pervert, No? 6:44 - Tex The Towering Texan & Folks  7:52 - Gonna Be One of Those Episodes, Nah Mean?  8:23 - No Trigger Warning For You.

Get to know the hands, head, and heart behind award-winning fine artist and oil painter Anna Rose Bain, whose breathtaking figurative works and luminous portraiture capture peaceful moments of human connection. A Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America, Anna's work has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur and American Art Collector and exhibited in some of the most esteemed galleries and competitions in the country. In this episode, she shares how global experiences, perseverance, and teaching workshops have shaped her artistic journey—from studying under the North Light in Florence, Italy, to painting elephants in the African wilderness. She reveals how leading workshops has not only refined her skills but also deepened her understanding of art. Motherhood, too, has played a profound role in her growth. The challenges of balancing art and family life sharpened her business, strengthened her faith, and ultimately made her a better artist—especially through painting her son.

(00:00) Summer Camp Age Requirement Disagreement This chapter explores a lively discussion about the challenges of managing junior golf programs and the intricacies of communication with parents. I recount a humorous yet frustrating experience with a parent eager to enroll his children in our summer camps. The parent attempts to bend the age rules for his younger, golf-enthusiastic child, who doesn't meet the minimum age requirement. Despite the father's persistence, I maintain the camp's policy, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established guidelines for the benefit of all participants. Additionally, I touch on the amusing mix-up of daylight savings time, which led to some unexpected schedule confusion. Overall, the conversation highlights the balance between accommodating individual requests and maintaining program integrity. (03:33) Golfers Discuss Adding Loft to Shots This chapter begins with a humorous anecdote involving Don Rickles and a New York mobster, illustrating the unpredictable twists of life. As we shift focus, the excitement of the golf season's start is palpable, with the Masters marking the unofficial kickoff. The conversation touches on regional golfing challenges, such as wet conditions affecting courses in certain areas. We share experiences from different locales, including New England's lingering winter and South Florida's seasonal transition. The discussion includes a fascinating lesson from a high-rise apartment equipped with a golf simulator overlooking beautiful vistas. This setting provides a unique take on indoor golf, offering a comfortable alternative to braving the outdoor elements. (17:54) Effective Junior Golf Camp Grouping This chapter explores the creation of successful golf programs for kids by considering the desires of parents, whether they seek fun experiences or potential playing partners within the family. We emphasize the importance of making lessons engaging for children, using real golf clubs from US Kids Golf to ensure proper sizing, and avoiding outdated equipment. Additionally, I discuss strategies for handling children who are initially uninterested by fostering a welcoming environment and recognizing past negative experiences. We also highlight the significance of grouping kids by maturity and physical development, ensuring a supportive learning atmosphere. The ultimate goal is to make golf enjoyable and memorable for young participants. (27:27) Junior Golf Camp Age Groups This chapter explores the dynamics of junior golf and the nuances of teaching young golfers. We discuss how older children can become self-conscious in mixed-age groups and share a story of a parent misunderstanding the group dynamics due to her child's height. We also address the challenges of working with kids who have received golf tips from their parents, offering strategies for respecting parental input while gently guiding young golfers toward effective techniques. The importance of communication with both children and their parents is highlighted, as well as the need for teachers to navigate these relationships with tact and understanding. (31:24) Teaching Kids to Problem Solve This chapter focuses on the dynamics of teaching and coaching young people, particularly teenagers, while managing parental involvement. We explore the importance of encouraging kids to think independently and develop problem-solving skills by reframing information so that it becomes their own discovery. The conversation also addresses how to handle parents who are eager to be involved in their child's learning process, suggesting ways to engage them without undermining the child's autonomy. By inviting parents into the learning experience and positioning them to observe and learn alongside their child, we facilitate a collaborative environment where both parties benefit. This approach helps parents to understand their role better, allowing them to step back and trust the expertise of the coach, ultimately leading to a more supportive and effective learning experience for the child. (39:59) Junior Golf League Equipment Consideration This chapter explores the PGA Junior League, a youth golf program that varies in quality depending on the club or course offering it. We discuss the benefits of introducing children to golf through such programs and emphasize the importance of not pushing kids into the sport if they aren't interested. When children do show interest, it's advised to hold off on buying expensive equipment until they have some experience and understanding of what they need. Renting or borrowing clubs initially is a smart move, and when purchasing, it's crucial to ensure the clubs fit the child properly to avoid bad habits and potential injuries. We compare buying ill-fitting golf clubs to outfitting a child with adult-sized sports equipment, highlighting the absurdity and potential harm of such a practice. (49:54) Choosing the Right Golf Instructor This chapter focuses on the importance of ensuring a good fit between children and their teachers when introducing them to new activities. We explore the idea that children should have the opportunity to meet and connect with their potential teachers to ensure they mesh well, as this can significantly impact their enthusiasm and success in learning. Emphasizing the need for the right lessons and equipment, we discuss how a child's love for an activity can be greatly influenced by their relationship with their teacher. Ensuring the right attitude is also key, as a negative experience can deter a child's interest, even if they have a natural affinity for the activity.

This week, we check back in with former guest and irrepressible force Deanna! A few weeks back, we drove up to Casper, WY to meet Deanna in person for the first time. And during our lovely visit, we all decided it was time for a public update on Deanna, who was diagnosed with ALS at the start of 2024.  Deanna has moved to in-patient hospice in recent months and, along with her husband Oren, wanted to share her experience with us and the world. Her take on the emotional and physical benefits of in-patient hospice is truly eye-opening. Deanna, her friends, and her family are incredibly grateful that hospice allows her friends and family to—in a phrase we heard repeatedly—just love on her. Not physically care for her. Not worry about her meds. Not be on call to handle all of the challenging aspects of end-of-life care. Just...love on her.  Unbeknownst to Deanna, we also had a special surprise for her waiting in the wings. And it's honestly best to see it happen...so even if you listen to this full episode as usual, swing on over to our channel on YouTube to watch the surprise happen. And please check out Deanna's book "Embracing the End: Discovering Peace and Purpose At the End of Life" now available for sale on Amazon. It's a great, hilarious, and heart-lifting read. Because of course it is.
