Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

The whole crew from is all together in person for an expansive deep dive into the cultural touchstones that shaped a generation. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level takes to dissect the complex legacy of Eddie Murphy's iconic 1982–1992 film run, specifically examining Arsenio Hall's crucial role in sustaining Murphy's momentum during that era.   We also turn up the heat on our recurring music debates. We face the tough questions: Does Ludacris have a true "classic" album, and how do the legendary discographies of Toni Braxton and Donell Jones stack up against one another? We also pay respects to the 30-year legacy of UGK's Ridin Dirty, analyzing how Bun B and Pimp C fundamentally shifted the trajectory of Southern hip-hop. Beyond the music, we tackle the heavy hitters of pop culture—from the mysterious "Oscar Curse" that haunts award-winning actors to the ongoing discourse surrounding the need for a unified Juneteenth anthem. Plus, we discuss the A Different World reboot and the evolving struggle between maintaining celebrity privacy in the age of social media. 0:00 I Only Listen to 90s Music Intro 0:09 Cultural Significance and Costs of Prom Celebrations  3:44 Nostalgic Reflections on Music and Memories from the 2000s  7:12 Eddie Murphy's Career and Arsenio Hall's Role in Saving Coming to America 19:18 Rest in Peace to Peabo Bryson and his many slept on hits  25:14 Whtiney Houston and The Making of Heartbreak Hotel  29:08 TLC, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Nostalgia, and Impact of 90s Hip-Hop and R&B Soundtracks  33:47 Is Ludcaris really slept on as a rapper?  39:16 LA Reid says the best Laface album is Donell Jones.

Over the weekend, a rally featuring congressional candidate Melat Kiros and leftist political pundit Hasan Piker was booted from three locations before settling on the steps of the Capitol. By the time the gathering kicked off Sunday afternoon, Piker had dropped out and Kiros accused her challenger, incumbent Diana DeGette, of sabotaging the rally. So, what really happened?

After months of public input, Regent Street is getting a major redesign which will include wider sidewalks, fewer driving lanes, added parking and loading lanes, and more trees. To some folks' dismay, though, it will not include dedicated bike lanes. City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin talks about the plan with executive producer Hayley Sperling and Liz Boyd. In addition to being Madison Public Library digital services and marketing manager, Boyd is a local photographer and outdoor enthusiast, and she brings us the latest tourism numbers and her ideal itinerary for a Madison tourist. Plus, how is Madison recognizing Juneteenth this week?

History gives us perspective. It reminds us that change is possible, that progress takes courage, and that the work is never truly finished. In this episode, Chad reflects on what Juneteenth means beyond the holiday itself. Freedom is at the heart of this day, but freedom looks different depending on who you are and where you come from. What does freedom mean to you? What does opportunity look like in your life right now? What does equality still need to look like? Juneteenth invites us to sit with those questions honestly. To honor the lessons left by those who came before us. To look at how other people's experiences differ from our own. And to ask ourselves what we are doing, right now, to create opportunities for the generations that come after us. This is not just a day to celebrate. It is a day to reflect, to learn, and to look forward with intention.

In honor of Juneteenth, we are diving deep into the profound world of genetic genealogy. For many people of African descent, traditional paper-trail research hits a roadblock known as the "1870 wall." In this episode, we explore how groundbreaking DNA testing is tearing down that wall and providing a reliable space for people to reclaim their roots and family histories. We are joined by two incredible industry pioneers: Adrienne Abiodun, an advanced researcher at Legacy Tree Genealogists, and Dr. Gina Paige, the co-founder of African Ancestry, Inc. Together, they break down the science, the emotional weight, and the life-changing impact of finding out exactly where you come from.

Detailed Sermon Summary “Standing Where God Made a Way” Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Part 5 of the “Rooted & Grounded”  Watch the 14 minute video: "The Road to Juneteenth" Pastor Bryan Hudson's sermon, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” connects the biblical account of Israel crossing the Jordan River in Joshua 4 with the historical meaning of Juneteenth. The central message is that believers, families, communities, and nations must remember the places where God brought deliverance, because remembrance preserves gratitude, identity, wisdom, and responsibility. The sermon begins by framing Juneteenth as more than a national holiday. It is presented as a memorial of deliverance and a reminder that God makes a way where there is no way. Dr. Hudson connects Juneteenth to the broader biblical theme of God delivering people from bondage, especially Israel's deliverance from Egypt and later their crossing into the Promised Land. He also references his video, “The Road to Juneteenth,” which traces the journey from emancipation declared to freedom enforced. Joshua 4: Remembering the Crossing The primary Scripture is Joshua 4:1–11, where God commands Joshua to have twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel, take twelve stones from the Jordan River after the people crossed on dry ground. These stones were to be set up as a memorial so that future generations would ask, “What do these stones mean?” The answer would preserve the story of how God cut off the waters of the Jordan and brought His people through. Dr. Hudson explains that this crossing parallels the Red Sea crossing under Moses forty years earlier. In both cases, God removed a barrier that His people could not remove on their own. The Jordan River was not always deep, but it did flood seasonally. God stopped the waters so Israel could cross, then instructed them to take stones from the riverbed—stones that were normally hidden—and make them visible as a testimony. A key insight is that the stones were not objects of worship. They were reminders of the God who acted. The stones pointed beyond themselves to God's power, faithfulness, and deliverance. Juneteenth as a Stone of Remembrance Dr. Hudson then connects Joshua's stones to Juneteenth. Just as Israel needed memorial stones to remember deliverance, African Americans and the nation need Juneteenth as a memorial of freedom delayed, freedom enforced, and freedom remembered. He explains that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862 and took effect on January 1, 1863, but freedom was not fully enforced in Texas until June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston and announced General Order No. 3. This shows one of the sermon's major historical lessons: freedom declared is not always freedom practiced. Justice often requires enforcement. Juneteenth, therefore, is not merely a celebration. It is a memorial, an educational moment, and a call to remember both God's deliverance and the human struggle required for justice. Theological Foundation: Human Dignity and the Image of God A major theological point in the sermon is that all people are made in the image and likeness of God. Because of this, no person or group has the right to dominate, dehumanize, enslave, or exploit another. Dr. Hudson emphasizes the importance of saying “enslaved people” rather than simply “slaves.” To call someone a slave can make bondage sound like their identity. But their true identity is that they were human beings made in God's image who were enslaved by others. This point becomes the moral foundation for the sermon's critique of slavery, racism, domination, and exploitation. Slavery was especially evil because it involved humans made in God's image enslaving other humans made in God's image. A Sober View of American History The sermon also calls for honesty about American history. Dr. Hudson says Juneteenth should never have been necessary. If the nation had truly lived up to biblical principles from the beginning, enslaving Africans would never have been tolerated. He notes that the founders debated slavery and compromised in order to form the nation. Some opposed slavery, while others wanted to preserve it because of the economic benefits of free labor. That compromise, he explains, carried a terrible cost and eventually helped lead to the Civil War. Dr. Hudson does not reject love for the nation, but he urges listeners to avoid “rosy narratives” that ignore the blood, suffering, and injustice woven into the nation's history. The proper response is gratitude mixed with sobriety, remembrance, and responsibility. God Still Makes a Way The sermon repeatedly returns to the message that there are always barriers to cross. God parted the Red Sea under Moses. God stopped the Jordan River under Joshua. God made a way for enslaved people through emancipation and enforcement. And God still makes a way for His people today. Dr. Hudson says that today's breakthroughs may not always look as dramatic as the Red Sea or Jordan crossings, but the principle remains the same: when God brings people through obstacles, they should remember, testify, and move forward in faith. Memorials Are Educational Another key theme is that memorials are meant to teach. In Joshua 4, the stones were designed to provoke questions from children. When the children asked what the stones meant, the older generation was responsible to explain God's deliverance. Dr. Hudson applies this to holidays such as Juneteenth, Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and others. These are not merely days off or occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to educate, remember sacrifice, and pass meaning to the next generation. He warns that routines, celebrations, and comfort can obscure legacy. People can enjoy the benefits of history without remembering the sacrifice that made those benefits possible. Therefore, remembrance must be intentional. Standing Where God Made a Way The title phrase, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” captures the sermon's central conviction. Dr. Hudson teaches that many of us are living in places of blessing that exist because God worked through previous generations. We are standing on ground made possible by God's intervention, people's prayers, sacrifices, faith, courage, and perseverance. This applies personally, spiritually, historically, and nationally. We stand where parents, grandparents, ancestors, saints, activists, soldiers, and faithful servants endured hardship so future generations could live differently. Twelve Contemporary Stones of Remembrance Near the end, Dr. Hudson gives twelve “stones” that people and families can set up as memorials today. These are practices and places that help preserve memory, identity, and gratitude: Education — learning the truth and teaching it to others. Vicarious living — learning through the lives and experiences of others rather than repeating their mistakes. Identification — seeing oneself connected to faithful and courageous people from the past. Honoring — highly valuing parents, elders, ancestors, and those who made sacrifices. Testimony — telling what God has done personally and collectively. Studying history — learning the real story, not only simplified or sanitized versions. Serving others — turning remembrance into action. Shared experience — building memories and meaning together as families and communities. Museums — places such as Freetown Village that preserve and teach history. Family gatherings — moments that connect generations. Anniversaries — recurring opportunities to remember God's faithfulness. Juneteenth — a national and spiritual stone of remembrance that points to deliverance, justice, and responsibility. These “stones” help people stay rooted. They prevent forgetfulness. They help connect the present generation to legacy and history. Final Exhortation The sermon closes with a call to preserve memories that are worth preserving. Dr. Hudson urges listeners to be intentional with their children, grandchildren, families, and communities. If people do not connect present blessings with past deliverance, they may lose their way in the future. The final prayer thanks God for His goodness, for ancestors and heroes known and unknown, and for the fact that we are standing where God made a way. The prayer also asks God to help His people remember, honor, educate, and never take His blessings—or the people He used—for granted. Core Message The sermon's core message is: God makes a way through impossible barriers, and His people must remember where He brought them from. Memorials—whether stones, holidays, testimonies, museums, family stories, or historical observances like Juneteenth—help us honor God, educate future generations, and move forward without forgetting the sacrifices that made our present blessings possible.

The reminder was both sobering and hopeful: When I insert myself, I distort Jesus. As we lose ourselves, people can see Him more clearly.Q1: The Long RoadThe Israelites spent decades in the wilderness.What's something in your life that took much longer than expected but taught you something valuable along the way?Q2: Formation Over DestinationJamey, you said we often focus on destinations while God focuses on formation.Where have you seen God shaping you in a season that felt slower or harder than you wanted?Follow-up: How do you notice formation instead of only measuring progress?Q3: Representing JesusMoses had a unique role, but in some ways every Christian represents God to others.How do we take that responsibility seriously without acting like we speak for God?Follow-up: Have you ever had a moment where frustration affected how you represented Jesus to someone else?Q4: Conviction Without ContemptJohn Newton warned about the danger of self-righteousness.Why is contempt so tempting when we believe we're right, and what does it look like to hold conviction without losing compassion?Follow-up: How can we tell the difference between courage and ego in our tone?Q5: Distorting JesusThe big idea was:"When I insert myself, I distort Jesus."Where does that land personally—in family conflict, politics, social media, church conversations, or elsewhere?Follow-up: What's one sign that Jesus is becoming clearer and we're becoming less visible?Q6: Three PracticesJamey challenged us to:Pause before reactingLead with graceRemember how much grace we needWhich of those feels like your next faithful step this week?Follow-up: What would change if we started with confession before criticism?EVENTS THIS WEEKMERGEQuick conversation about tonight's Merge gathering.FAITH & FREEDOM MOVIE NIGHTA brief look at this week's documentary event exploring the story and significance of Juneteenth and the hope that fueled the pursuit of freedom.JOIN US SUNDAY!Be sure to share this episode and invite someone to join you this weekend!We'll be at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we wrap up our Losing Myself series.

The newest federal holiday, Juneteenth, commemorates the end of slavery. It may be the most recent addition to the federal calendar, but it's the oldest and longest nationally celebrated holiday in the US. June 19th, otherwise known as Juneteenth or Black independence day. Sadly, the majority of Americans don't know or even recognize the importance of this date to our history. Juneteenth is not just Black History, but an important milestone in American history and the birth of freedom.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your artificial intelligence meteorologist, bringing you real-time weather analysis without the bias or the bad hair days! So here's the thing about today in New York City. We're starting with those classic increasing clouds, and honestly, it's giving me the same energy as the city before a Friday night out. We're looking at a high near eighty-four Fahrenheit with south winds kicking up from five to ten miles per hour this afternoon to eleven to sixteen miles per hour. Pretty pleasant actually, but here's where it gets spicy. Tonight, folks, we've got showers and possibly thunderstorms before two in the morning. I'd say there's a seventy to eighty percent chance of precipitation, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy. We're talking a quarter to half inch of rainfall, and with these south winds at thirteen to eighteen miles per hour shifting west after midnight, things are definitely going to get active. You could say the forecast is about to have a real stormy personality! Now let me break down your three day forecast because we've got some serious weather shifts happening. Monday is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Sunny skies, high near seventy-five Fahrenheit, northwest winds at eleven to seventeen miles per hour. This is the kind of day where even New Yorkers will smile at each other on the subway. Tuesday stays beautiful with sunny conditions, a high near seventy-three Fahrenheit, and light winds becoming southerly in the afternoon. Basically, Mother Nature is giving us a gift here. By Wednesday, we're looking at another chance of showers between eight in the morning and two in the afternoon, then showers and thunderstorms possible after that. High near seventy-three Fahrenheit with a fifty percent chance of precipitation. It's not a washout, but definitely have those rain plans ready. Now let's talk Weather Playbook because I need to geek out about something real quick. Wind shear! That's when wind speed and direction change at different altitudes in the atmosphere. It's absolutely critical for thunderstorm development because it can either help a storm organize and intensify or tear it apart. Think of it like this: if you have wind from different directions at different heights, it tilts the storm updraft, which keeps the cold downdraft air separate from the warm updraft. That's how supercells form! It's basically atmospheric architecture, and it's incredible. Looking ahead, Thursday brings a forty percent chance of showers with highs near eighty-two Fahrenheit. Juneteenth weekend is looking partly sunny with a thirty percent chance of showers and a high near seventy-seven Fahrenheit. Saturday wraps things up beautifully with sunny skies and a high near seventy-nine Fahrenheit. That's perfect weather for whatever celebrations you've got planned across the city. Thanks for listening! Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and remember, this has been a Quiet Please production. Learn more at quietplease dot ai.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your AI meteorologist bringing you real-time forecasts powered by artificial intelligence and pure weather passion! Today in New York City, we're looking absolutely gorgeous out there! Sunny skies, highs near eighty-five Fahrenheit, and that west wind at seven to nine miles per hour is going to keep things feeling fresh. Tonight stays mostly clear with lows around seventy Fahrenheit, so grab a light jacket if you're heading out for some evening plans! Now here's where things get interesting. Sunday starts off looking decent, but here's the thing, folks, we've got a thirty percent chance of showers moving in after two o'clock in the afternoon. Clouds will be increasing throughout the day with highs near eighty-three. But Sunday night, that's when the party really gets started weatherwise. We're looking at a seventy percent chance of precipitation with showers and thunderstorms likely between eight o'clock in the evening and two in the morning. You could say things are going to get a little too emotional out there, if you know what I mean! South winds will be gusting between eleven and sixteen miles per hour, switching to westerly after midnight. Expect between a tenth and a quarter inch of rainfall, though thunderstorms could produce heavier amounts. Now let's talk about our Weather Playbook moment! Have you ever wondered why we get those dramatic thunderstorms at night? It's all about atmospheric instability mixing with wind shear. When warm, moist air from the south runs into cooler air moving down from Canada, we get this incredible vertical mixing that just unleashes the fury! It's absolutely fascinating! Here's your three-day breakdown. Monday bounces back beautifully with mostly sunny conditions, highs near seventy-six Fahrenheit, and that west wind at eleven to fifteen miles per hour. Tuesday stays in the mid-seventies with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday gets a bit dicey again with a thirty percent chance of showers after two o'clock in the afternoon. Then Thursday, we're looking at showers likely with a sixty percent chance of precipitation and even possible thunderstorms. It's going to be breezy too! But heading into Juneteenth, we're clearing out with mostly sunny skies and highs near seventy-eight Fahrenheit. It's like the weather gods are celebrating with us!

To celebrate Juneteenth we tell the story of plant biologist Beronda Montgomery. When she sat down to write what became a personal memoir mixed with a botanical history of African Americans, she found her research as a PhD lab scientist had brought her squarely into the world of social science as well. From her studies of how plants respond to light during photosynthesis, she started shining a light on the history of extensive plant cultivation by African Americans, including those who endured forced labor. She joins us to discuss her book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, Historyand America's Black Botanical Legacy.   Also, George Washington Carver was born into slavery but went on to become a famous agronomist and helped poor people in the South improve their lives and soils by planting peanuts and other legumes. This week, he comes back from the past in the form of actor and playwright Paxton Williams, who joins us as “George Washington Carver” to talk about the future of modern-day agriculture and intersections between racial dynamics and agricultural development. --   Music licensed from Blue Dot Sessions: sessions.blue Learn more about your ad choices.

Confederate forces surrendered to Union forces in Appomattox Court House, Virginia in April of 1865. But many people in Texas were still living under slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation had gone into effect in January of 1863 in places under Union control. But Union forces did not arrive to enforce emancipation in Texas until June of 1865. That is why we celebrate Juneteenth— to recognize the day that the people enslaved in Texas were finally freed. And while Juneteenth is the most famous holiday recognizing emancipation, different communities have held their own celebrations since the end of the Civil War. This hour, we’re recognizing Juneteenth by taking a look at celebrations past and present. We’ll take a look at the history of Emancipation Days and how they’ve been documented, and we’ll hear from one of the organizers of this year’s Juneteenth celebration in New Haven. GUESTS: Blair LM Kelley: President and Director of the National Humanities Center. Her books include Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class and her latest book, Black Freedom: A Visual History of Juneteenth and Emancipation Days. Dr. Hanan Hameen: Founder of the Artsucation Academy Network, Co-Founder of the Official Juneteenth Coalition of Greater New Haven and award-winning choreographer and educator.

There's a lot more in Hershey than Chocolate! Hershey is a company town, named for Milton S. Hershey, the chocolate man who built a candy empire, and a thriving town that's one of the top tourist attractions in Pennsylvania...with a 4th grade education. It's an amazing story, but after I've told you that history, and the history of the big HersheyPark amusement park, we're going to leave chocolate behind, and talk about something I'm much more comfortable with: booze and food.  So there's an interview with Coty Edwards, the master distiller at Hidden Still Spirits. They're making some really good bourbon, and bottling genuine tequila, too.  There's also a short interview with Matt Gundrum, director of brewing operations at the resurrected Iron Hill Brewing right there in Hershey (and Philly, and Lancaster, and Wilmington, and Huntingdon Valley). It's a very happy story.  I visited some fun places in the area, like The Filling Station, and Gary's Bar, Pronio's Market and the Hershey Fresh Market (and little Pikku Piru!), Parkside Hotel, and Tröegs Independent Brewing.  The next day I made a shortcut batch of stuffed peppers with Cathy's idea assistance, and I'll tell you how that worked; pantry cooking! There's a progress report on the new book (with a new working title: Whiskey: An Illustrated Primer), and a little bit of personal excitement about going to a friend's Juneteenth celebration.  What I'm Drinking Today is a Heaven Hill Deatsville Edition 13 Year Old Bourbon, aged in a type of warehouse you may never have seen before. Did it affect the flavor? I think it might have...or maybe..."oh hell, that don't work at all."  Next episode will be about...something. Yup. Again.   See you in two weeks! Until then?

America turns 250 in 24 days.Before the celebration — five pieces of American history that are documented, recorded, and still disputed to this day.The Founding Fathers' contradiction on slavery.

And the two times America paid reparations — and who actually received them.This is not anti-American. This is pro-truth.In this episode of Lifelong Learning, Mr. Jihad walks through five facts that most people were never taught — and why it matters for where this country goes next.Juneteenth is in 9 days. July 4th is in 24.
