Sometimes you have files or other large chunks of data that you need to associate with a record in your database. It might be convenient to just store that as base64-encoded data or HTML in a "longtext" column, but that can eventually cause issues—especially as the table grows. What other options are there?In this episode of Over Engineered, we go back to the show's roots and try to find the absolute best solution to a problem we already have an acceptable solution for.

This Day in Legal History: John Marshall Harlan DiesOn October 14, 1911, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan I died, closing the chapter on one of the Court's most powerful voices of dissent. Appointed in 1877 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Harlan served for 34 years and left an indelible mark on constitutional law—not through majority opinions, but through unwavering dissents that often read as moral indictments of the Court's direction.Most famously, Harlan stood alone in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), rejecting the Court's embrace of “separate but equal” and warning that the Constitution is “color-blind.” At a time when the legal system was ratifying segregation, Harlan insisted that racial classifications violated both the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth Amendment. His lone dissent—widely criticized at the time—would later become foundational to the Court's reversal in Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century later.But Harlan's commitment to constitutional principles extended beyond race. He defended civil liberties in United States v. E.C. Knight Co., supported expansive readings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and warned against unchecked corporate power. His approach was rooted in a belief that the Reconstruction Amendments were designed not just to end slavery, but to secure full legal equality.Though his views often put him in the minority, time has proven Harlan prophetic. His jurisprudence helped shift the constitutional center of gravity in the 20th century, as future courts took up the causes he championed alone. Remarkably, his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, would go on to sit on the Court as well, carving out his own legacy in cases like Katz v. United States and Reynolds v. Sims.Justice Harlan I's death marked the loss of a constitutional conscience—one that held firm against the tide of his era. His dissents remain a blueprint for principled judging, reminding us that sometimes the most enduring legal influence comes not from prevailing, but from refusing to go along.In a massive trial that began this week in London's High Court, over 1.6 million claimants are suing several major carmakers—including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, and Citroën—over allegations that they used illegal “defeat devices” to cheat diesel emissions tests. The lawsuit, one of the largest in UK legal history, follows in the wake of Volkswagen's 2015 “dieselgate” scandal and targets vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2017.Claimants argue that these manufacturers deliberately programmed cars to meet legal nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards only under lab testing, while on-the-road emissions were allegedly up to 12 times higher—harming the environment and misleading consumers. They seek compensation for what they claim was a systemic, industry-wide choice to cheat rather than comply with the law.The defendants deny any wrongdoing, rejecting comparisons to VW and maintaining that emissions systems are legally and justifiably calibrated to function differently under certain conditions for technical and safety reasons. A central point of contention is whether the sample vehicles in the case contain prohibited defeat devices.The trial currently focuses on 20 vehicles, but its outcome will set a precedent for nearly 850,000 claims and influence another 800,000 similar suits against other carmakers, including Vauxhall/Opel and BMW. The court's decision on liability is expected by mid-2026, with damages to be determined separately.Carmakers accused in huge UK lawsuits of cheating diesel emissions tests | ReutersVisa and Mastercard have agreed to a $199.5 million settlement to resolve a class action brought by merchants who alleged the companies colluded to shift fraud-related costs onto businesses. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, the settlement—still awaiting judicial approval—stems from a lawsuit first initiated in 2016, challenging rule changes that made merchants liable for chargebacks when they hadn't upgraded to chip-enabled point-of-sale systems.The plaintiffs argued this policy shift violated antitrust laws, claiming Visa and Mastercard moved in parallel to implement changes that benefited the networks while leaving merchants exposed to fraud losses without any offsetting fee reductions. According to the proposed agreement, Visa will pay $119.7 million and Mastercard will contribute $79.8 million. Discover and American Express, also named in the litigation, previously agreed to a $32.2 million settlement.While all four companies deny wrongdoing, plaintiffs' lawyers praised the deal, saying it recovers around 13% of the best-case damages scenario and over half of a more conservative estimate. Mastercard stated the settlement supports its broader efforts to increase security through technological upgrades, while Visa and the plaintiffs' counsel did not comment.This case is separate from the larger $5 billion settlement Visa and Mastercard reached in 2019 over allegations of fixing credit and debit card fees.Visa, Mastercard agree to $199.5 million settlement in merchants' class action | ReutersFederal courts in California and Alabama recently fined two attorneys thousands of dollars for submitting legal filings that contained fake case citations generated by AI. These sanctions highlight a persistent problem: despite repeated warnings, some lawyers continue to rely uncritically on generative AI tools that produce fictitious case law, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” Judges in both cases criticized the attorneys for failing to verify the AI-generated content, calling the misconduct more serious than simple oversight.In Alabama, Judge Terry F. Moorer imposed a $5,000 sanction on James A. Johnson, a court-appointed criminal defense attorney, who filed a motion containing fabricated citations. The judge noted that Johnson used a Microsoft Word plugin called Ghostwriter Legal and submitted the motion during a holiday weekend while caring for a relative, but emphasized that such explanations do not excuse the lack of basic diligence. Johnson must now disclose the sanctions order in all cases he handles for the next year, and his client—visibly upset in court—requested new counsel, delaying the case.In California, Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín fined attorney Edward A. Quesada $1,000 after his civil filing contained at least three false citations. Quesada admitted he had run out of time and may have accidentally copied one fake citation from an AI-generated web summary. He was also ordered to complete a CLE course on responsible AI use, with the judge citing his failure to stay informed about relevant legal technologies as a violation of professional conduct rules.Fake AI Citations Produce Fines for California, Alabama LawyersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I examine the property rights implications at the heart of Pung v. Isabella County, a case the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear. I argue that when the government seizes and sells property for unpaid taxes, “just compensation” shouldn't be defined by whatever price the property fetches at a government-run auction. That process—entirely designed and controlled by local officials—often prioritizes administrative efficiency over fair market value, turning tax sales into what I describe as “clearance rack” events.The problem is structural. Local treasurers are incentivized to close the books quickly rather than ensure former owners recover equity. That means the government may undersell a home, pay itself the back taxes, and call it a day—leaving the former owner uncompensated for the true value of what they lost. Worse, when courts treat the auction price as constitutionally adequate, they allow the taker to set the value of what it took.I draw a comparison to Tyler v. Hennepin County, where the Court ruled the government can't pocket surplus proceeds from a tax sale. Pung asks the natural follow-up: what rules apply when determining how much surplus exists? If courts accept fire-sale auction prices as “just compensation,” they effectively endorse an end-run around the Fifth Amendment.As a compromise, I propose a clear rule: auction prices should only be presumed fair if they fall within 10% of an appraised value. Outside that range, the burden should shift to the government to prove the sale was legitimate. After all, if local governments want the legitimacy of a market sale, they need to run a sale that looks like one. Otherwise, taxpayers are left holding the bag—punished not for failing to pay taxes, but for the government's indifference to recovering real value from their property. This is a public episode.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring how Alan Katz starts his day — and how his routines have transformed his life.Alan begins each morning with intention, sketching out his schedule on paper — everything from podcast interviews to sound editing and writing his deeply personal book, How to Live B*****t Free.* The book was born from his struggles with mental health and the realization that he once came dangerously close to taking his own life. Through that journey, Alan discovered a powerful truth: the only person he can truly change is himself.By confronting his own “b******t,” as he calls it, Alan found a peace he never thought possible. He describes walking through life in a perpetual state of bliss, grounded by structure, mindfulness, and creative purpose. His nighttime ritual — cleaning his genius pipe — is part of his cannabis routine, which he views as both reflective and restorative.Tennis has also become a meditative outlet for him, a way to stay fully present without the burden of competition. In recent years, Alan has turned his curiosity toward meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation, as he continues to explore consciousness and inner calm. (Alan does use a curse word because its the title of his book so that word is uncensored for that word.)00:00:01 - Introduction00:00:12 - Daily Routine00:00:51 - Current Projects00:01:22 - Personal Journey00:02:33 - Life Philosophy00:02:52 - Purpose and Podcasting00:04:18 - Nighttime Routine00:05:51 - Meditation and Tennis00:08:19 - Transcendental Meditation00:08:54 - Consciousness and Information00:12:01 - Physical Fitness and Reading00:12:35 - Current Reading for Work00:15:51 - Opinions on Character Development00:16:10 - Music Preferences00:16:29 - Influences on Children's Music Taste00:17:35 - Current TV Shows00:17:52 - Contact Information00:18:26 - Closing RemarksCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://thedonorpodcast.com/

Yet, he admitted that leaving that world behind was heartbreaking.He also reflected on the joy of collaborating with exceptional British talent, including Ewan McGregor and Steve Coogan, whose work ethic and artistry elevated every scene.

On October 7, 2023, exactly two years ago, an unimaginable horror overtook southern Israel. We all recall when we found out. The shock. Disbelief. Which only intensified with time.And the unanswered questions. So. Many questions.It seemed appropriate to publish this podcast today. In this episode, Ya'akov Katz, a regular guest on State of Tel Aviv and Beyond, discusses a book he has co-authored with Amir Bohbot; an expose that looks at the damning evidence and records of what happened. And what, tragically, did not. Where was the army? Air Force? What took so long for help to arrive as Hamas was slaughtering its way through southern Israel, unimpeded? Why? How?Amir and Ya'akov had been working on a different book when October 7 happened, and they quickly pivoted. Both have extensive backgrounds in military affairs and related fields which they bring to bear in this daunting project. The book is superb. Truly - a page turner. Published on September 2, it has already made one or two bestseller lists in the U.S. Most importantly, it begins a long-awaited examination of facts. Some of which are discussed publicly here for the first time. In this episode, Ya'akov discusses the failure of every critical security, intelligence, and political institution to interpret the information available to prevent one of the greatest disasters in Jewish history.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes:“Crisply written... draws on excellent sources within Israel's military and intelligence services.” —The Wall Street JournalA powerful indictment of the political and military decisions that led to October 7While Israel Slept tells the gripping inside story of how Hamas, Israel's weakest enemy, succeeded in launching a surprise attack on one of the world's most powerful militaries. Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.The book unveils the dramatic events of the night before the attack, highlighting the cracks in Israel's military and political leadership. It provides unprecedented details on how key warnings were missed, and how Israel ignored the growing threat from Hamas, believing that the group was weak and deterred. By exposing these failures, While Israel Slept offers a stark, sobering account of how overconfidence and complacency paved the way for disaster, while underscoring the critical lessons Israel must embrace to safeguard its future.Yaakov Katz is an Israeli-American author and journalist.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring the fascinating world of casting through the perspective of Alan Katz.Alan delved into the complexities of casting Superman, particularly focusing on Christopher Reeve. He explained that casting Superman is unlike any other role—it's not just about acting, but about embodying a character that becomes a part of who you are.Alan reflected on how Christopher Reeve faced immense challenges throughout his career, often feeling confined by the role that made him a household name. Though Reeve was masterful in portraying Superman, the weight of that identity brought its own struggles.As Alan discussed, the industry's perception of actors can both define and restrict them, shaping the kinds of opportunities they receive. He also shed light on the intricate relationships between actors and directors, and how those dynamics can profoundly influence performance.Through Alan's insights, we gain a deeper understanding of the art and burden of becoming an icon—and what it truly means to live in the shadow of a cape.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Discussing Christopher Reeve's Acting Style00:01:33 - Superman vs Batman: Casting and Acting00:02:50 - The Challenge of Breaking Free from Superman00:04:45 - Discussion on Film Noir and Dylan McDermott00:05:31 - Moving the Series to England00:09:04 - Challenges of Building Sets in England00:10:28 - Craft Services Differences between US and UK00:13:03 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://thedonorpodcast.com/
Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring the fascinating world of filmmaking through the experiences of Alan Katz.Alan recalled the immense challenges of working with Tim Curry on a project that pushed everyone involved to their limits. The creative process was daunting, especially when Tim was tasked with playing three different roles in a single story. It terrified him—and, as Alan admitted, it scared the entire team as well.But that fear transformed into a powerful opportunity for collaboration and creativity. Alan remembered how carefully the team worked to ensure that the music, acting, and overall tone of the scenes reflected the gravity of the story rather than slipping into unintended comedy.One surreal highlight was guiding the legendary Michael Kamen on how to score a pivotal moment—an experience Alan described as both intimidating and unforgettable. For him, the key takeaway from the process was simple: always stay open to feedback and collaboration, because the best ideas often come from unexpected places.Alan's behind-the-scenes stories remind us that filmmaking is as much about resilience and adaptability as it is about creativity and vision.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - The Death of Some Salesmen: Concept and Casting00:00:26 - The Challenge of Playing Multiple Parts00:00:55 - Casting Tim Curry00:02:27 - Scoring the Sex Scene00:04:05 - The Importance of Being Open to Criticism00:05:43 - Working with Tim Curry00:07:20 - Casting Against Type00:07:33 - Dead Weight: The First Episode00:08:22 - The Importance of the Script as a Technical Document00:10:45 - What's Cooking: Writing and Casting00:11:38 - Challenges with Special Effects00:14:04 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://thedonorpodcast.com/
Yaakov Katz co-author with Amir Bohbot, of While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East, traces the failures that led to October 7 and how Israel's security establishment misread Hamas's strength and intent. He explains how world opinion, hostage leverage, and casualty ratios constrain Israel differently in Gaza than against Hezbollah, and how Netanyahu's post-ceasefire decisions prolonged the war. Katz argues Israel allowed hardliners to define the mission and assesses the current 20 point plan. Plus: the shutdown as a real-world experiment in Trump's expanded executive power.

Katrina Katz is a curious, thrifty crafter who loves playing in her notebook. And despite no longer scrapbooking in the traditional sense, she definitely considers herself a memory keeper. In this episode I ask Katrina to share some of her favorite things in the stationery world and take us behind the scenes of her creative practice. Our conversation touches on the importance of openly sharing stories to empower others. This includes Katrina's relatively recent autism diagnosis and how understanding herself better allowed her to truly embrace the ways she loves to create.Links MentionedKatrina on Instagram: @paperpensandcoffeeStudio Ten70 Ko-Fi shopMoments to Enjoy journaling bundleGelli plates (*)STABILO woody (*)S gel by Sharpie (*): Sharpie: GelPaper Mate InkJoy Bright collection (*)posca paint pens (*)003 Blank NotebookArcher & OliveThe Happy PlannerPaper Treat ShopThe Stationery CaféKuboandlucySamantha Dion Baker books (*)Susan Branch books (*)Shawna Clingerman*Affiliate links help to support the work we do, at no additional cost to you.
Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) just notched its 10th straight quarter of record revenue, but shares fell as investors homed in on incremental costs and headwinds. Assia Georgieva and Morningstar's Jaime Katz discuss the earnings beat and the potential for "sloppiness" in pricing due to added capacity in the Caribbean and Mexican Riviera markets. They also weigh in on Carnival's position in the broader cruising sector, with Georgieva and Katz agreeing that Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) may be the most undervalued play, while Royal Caribbean Group (RCL) shares look overvalued.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
Is there such a thing as a universal human experience of the divine, or are all encounters shaped by culture, language, and power? In this video, we explore the classic debate between perennialism and constructivism, from William James and Mircea Eliade to Steven Katz, Talal Asad, and beyond. Drawing on philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience, we look at how claims of universality are entangled with history and how particular traditions cultivate what we call “religious experience.”CONNECT & SUPPORT
Voilà près de deux ans que Gaza est sous le feu de l'armée israélienne. La guerre continue. La vie aussi. À Ramallah, ville de Cisjordanie occupée, connue pour ses lieux de sorties, ses cafés design et ses belles voitures, les Palestiniens semblent partagés entre l'envie de vivre malgré tout et la conscience que « Gaza brûle », pour reprendre l'expression du ministre de la Défense israélien Israël Katz. Gaza n'est effectivement qu'à quelques dizaines de kilomètres de là et omniprésente dans les esprits. Alors comment continuer à danser, chanter, rire et vivre dans ces conditions ? C'est la question qu'a posé notre correspondante à des Palestiniens de Ramallah. De notre correspondante en Cisjordanie, Un anniversaire à Ramallah. Dans le jardin d'un restaurant très en vue, un grand-père danse et chante avec ses enfants et petits-enfants. Plats très soignés, décoration moderne et serveurs aux petits soins, ce restaurant, très instagrammable, a ouvert ses portes cet été. Le propriétaire préfère rester anonyme. Il dit recevoir des commentaires interloqués d'internautes choqués par cette ambiance festive alors que Gaza est sous les bombes : « Certaines personnes sont gênées de voir qu'on fait des publications pour mettre en valeur les plats. Elles laissent des messages pour dire qu'il y a la famine à Gaza et tout ça. C'est blessant. J'aimerais beaucoup demander à ces personnes ce qu'elles aimeraient que je fasse. Est-ce qu'il faut que je ferme mon restaurant et que je prive 70 personnes de revenus ? Personnellement, je trouve qu'être là, c'est une preuve d'espoir. Je pourrais très bien m'asseoir et juste regarder les infos toute la journée et tomber en dépression. Mais moi, je trouve qu'avoir un objectif, ça donne de l'espoir. » Alors, peut-on continuer à vivre normalement à Ramallah, alors que « Gaza brûle » ? Cette question torture Moatassem Abu Hasan, metteur en scène. Ce soir se joue à Ramallah, l'une de ses pièces. Elle raconte les rêves d'une jeune diplômée palestinienne sous l'occupation. Une œuvre engagée. Et pourtant, cela ne suffit pas à atténuer le malaise de Moatassem à l'idée de se préoccuper de théâtre alors que son peuple meurt à Gaza : « C'est compliqué. On vit avec ce combat intérieur tous les jours. Littéralement, tous les jours. On essaye d'être joyeux, mais c'est impossible. » Ressent-il un sentiment de culpabilité ? « Mais oui, bien sûr, et ce sentiment ne peut se dissoudre. Là, au moment même où je te parle, je culpabilise de pouvoir avoir accès à la presse. C'est un privilège. À Gaza, personne ne les écoute, eux », répond Moatassem Abu Hasan. Gaza sous les bombes. Et la Cisjordanie occupée secouée par les exactions des soldats et des colons israéliens au quotidien. Dans ce contexte, les Palestiniens éprouvent une incapacité à se projeter. Un phénomène qui interroge en même temps qu'il fascine Razzan Quran, psychologue : « Le fait que les Palestiniens soient capables de s'ancrer dans le présent est une posture très très importante. C'est une façon de vouloir habiter et savourer le présent. Mais il ne faut pas romantiser cette posture parce qu'elle a un coût. C'est très douloureux. Moi et mon mari par exemple, on essaye de fonder une famille, mais on se demande toujours, qu'est-ce qui garantit que notre maison ne sera pas détruite ? Qu'est-ce qui garantit qu'on ne fera pas de mal à notre fils ? Il n'y a aucune garantie, mais malgré ça, je choisis de vivre. » À lire aussiEn Cisjordanie occupée, la colonie de Sa-Nur enterre un peu plus l'idée d'un État palestinien
Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I'm diving into the fascinating world of You Murderer through the eyes of Alan Katz.This episode was a unique challenge, as it was shot entirely from the perspective of a dead man—a bold concept that director Bob had envisioned from the start. Alan described the experience as unlike anything else, requiring incredible creativity and collaboration from the entire team.Bob's approach to filmmaking was all about teamwork and innovation, and Alan had the privilege of being part of that process. Together, they built a full four-wall set and involved the entire crew in rehearsal—something rarely done in the industry. The environment Bob created encouraged everyone to contribute ideas, and Alan noted how it made creativity truly thrive on set.Alan also had the chance to work with remarkable talents like Isabella Rossellini and John Lithgow, experiences he described as surreal and unforgettable. For him, You Murderer was more than just an episode—it was a masterclass in collaboration and storytelling.If you're curious about the behind-the-scenes magic of filmmaking and want to hear how Alan and the team tackled such a groundbreaking concept, stick around as we explore his stories and insights from this incredible journey.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Discussing 'You Murderer'00:01:50 - Bob's Filmmaking Style00:04:29 - Working with Bob00:06:22 - Talking about 'Yellow'00:06:37 - Working with Famous Actors00:09:54 - Working with Buck Henry00:11:17 - Discussing 'Whirlpool'00:14:33 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://thedonorpodcast.com/

Getting new technology adopted in a large organization can feel like pushing water uphill. The best tools in the world are useless if we're not allowed to use them, and as companies grow, their habits turn into inertia, then into "the way we've always done things." So how do you break through that resistance and get meaningful change to happen?This week's guest is Dov Katz from Morgan Stanley, who specializes in exactly this challenge - driving developer productivity and getting new practices adopted across thousands of developers. We explore the art of organizational change from every angle: How do you get management buy-in? How do you build grassroots developer enthusiasm? When should you use deterministic tools like OpenRewrite versus AI-powered solutions? And what role does open source play in breaking down the walls between competing financial institutions?Whether you're trying to modernize a legacy codebase, reduce technical debt, or just get your team to try that promising new tool you've discovered, this conversation offers practical strategies for navigating the complex dynamics of enterprise software development.

OA1192 - This week in Still Good Law: Katz v. U.S., the 1967 Warren Court case which on its face decided that the Fourth Amendment may apply to a public phone booth. But that's hardly all: the federal prosecution of nationally-famous bookie Charles Katz also completely changed the entire framework for how U.S. courts understand and interpret the law of searches and seizures and completely upended the concept of Fourth Amendment privacy as it had been understood up until that time. Matt provides the background on Katz and how this case made it to the Supreme Court, Jenessa considers the mental health benefits of being left alone by the government, and we talk through how important this vital holding might still be at a time when we have all given up so many of our privacy rights just by living in 2025.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I want to share an incredible story about Alan Katz.While researching the world of donor conception, Alan connected with Donna Hall, a woman who discovered at 40 that she was donor conceived. This revelation was earth-shattering for her, and her journey is nothing short of remarkable.Donna grew up in a lower-tier crime family outside of Philadelphia, where life was filled with chaos and crime. Her mother, Phyllis, spent time in prison for child endangerment, and her stepdad, John Hall, was a notorious snitch who put many innocent people behind bars.For Alan, Donna's story wasn't just about her past—it was about resilience, survival, and transformation. She became a vivacious storyteller who turned her life experiences into a powerful narrative.Alan felt compelled to help share her journey through The Hall Closet, a podcast that explores not just the complexities of her life, but the broader truths about family, identity, and the ripple effects of donor conception.Podcasting has become a revolutionary platform for creators like Alan, allowing stories like Donna's to be told outside the limits of traditional media. With each episode, he works to flip the power dynamic back to the storytellers, putting their voices and their intellectual property front and center.So join me as we explore Alan's work, Donna's incredible journey, and the future of storytelling through podcasts.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Donna's Story and The Hall Closet Podcast00:02:43 - Costard and Touchstone Productions00:04:35 - Power of Podcasting00:06:00 - The Future of Podcasting00:08:06 - The Yellow Episode00:10:13 - Working with Bob Zemeckis00:10:55 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436https://thedonorpodcast.com/

Miriam Katz: Host of The Ex Appeal Podcast, who's interviewing EVERYONE she ever dated. What is she learning as she interviews 111 former flames, including her 6th grade boyfriend, and the Orthodox Rabbi - she dated that guy too!
When Alan Katz turned 45, he realized he had been keeping a secret from himself for far too long. It was a dark truth that had haunted him since he was 14, when he was sexually molested by someone he trusted.For decades, Alan carried the weight of self-loathing and blame, convinced it had been his fault. But the moment he confronted the secret, everything changed. He came to understand that it's not uncommon for survivors to blame themselves for things outside of their control—but that mindset is destructive.As he navigated adulthood, Alan recognized how this pattern of self-blame had only made his struggles worse. Facing the truth was a revelation that set him free. He wept for the 14-year-old boy who needed to hear, back then, that it was never his fault.That moment of clarity led Alan to create a podcast where he could share his story—and give others the chance to share theirs with absolute honesty. He wanted to break the silence and the stigma surrounding these experiences.The podcast became more than just a platform for healing; it became a space for Alan to explore storytelling itself. Along the way, he discovered that the only thing standing in his way had been himself. For the first time, he could tell his story on his own terms, without anyone else dictating the narrative.This journey has been transformative for him, and his hope is that it inspires others to confront their own truths. Because no one is ever truly alone—and it's never too late to find your voice and share your story.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Confronting a Dark Past00:00:27 - Understanding Self-Blame00:00:57 - The Impact of Self-Blame00:02:35 - The Power of Honesty00:03:02 - Entering the Podcasting World00:03:53 - The Making of Bordello of Blood00:04:22 - The Importance of Honesty in Storytelling00:06:44 - The Creative Process in Podcasting00:07:25 - The Challenges of Turning Ideas into Movies or TV Series00:09:00 - The Freedom in Podcasting00:09:49 - The Donor: A DNA Horror Story00:10:41 - The Impact of Genetic Sexual Attraction00:13:31 - The Power of Inheritance00:14:04 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436

The Fed has “migrated from its focus on inflation” towards the job market, Stuart Katz says. He thinks inflation is under control even with tariffs putting upwards pressure on prices. “There's almost a flywheel effect” of demand correcting for inflationary pressures, he argues.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following yesterday morning's Hamas attack on an IDF camp near Gaza City that killed four soldiers, Fabian describes the attack at the entrance to the encampment, in which an explosive device was hurled into a tank that caught fire, killing all members of the team. The IDF has been carrying out strikes on high-rise towers in Gaza City, on buildings of 10 to 14 floors, which Israel says are being used by Hamas for surveillance in preparation of the army's planned offensive in Gaza City, says Fabian. The army has begun telling Gazans to evacuate Gaza City ahead of the upcoming IDF ground offensive, discusses Fabian, which he doesn't believe will begin until more Palestinians have left the area. Following Monday's deadly terror attack at the Ramot junction in Jerusalem, the IDF began operating in the two villages where the two terrorists came from, on the outskirts of Ramallah. In addition to possible plans to demolish the terrorists' families' homes, there are civil sanctions against the relatives of the attackers, and residents of their hometowns, a kind of collective punishment, discusses Fabian. Fabian also talks about IDF airstrikes on Monday against military compounds belonging to Hezbollah's Radwan force, and IDF strikes in Syria. Fabian notes that Israel has not yet commented on the reason for the Syrian strikes. The Houthis launched drones at Israel on Monday, and all three were shot down, reports Fabian, including one near the Ramon Airport and one near the southern city of Dimona. Fabian says that the Houthis have launched more than 150 drones since the beginning of the war and 98% of them have been shot down. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

"The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."George Washington's Farewell Address https://thechesedfund.com/rabbikatz/support-rabbi-katzz-podcast
What if the essence of Judaism was never meant to be about behavior alone, but about dveykus, a deep soul-level connection to the Divine? That is what this conversation is about.In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with Rabbi Doniel Katz, founder of the Elevation Project, who has been on a mission to revive the spiritual technologies of Torah that most of us were never taught. Doniel is not interested in making Judaism more modern or palatable. He is trying to make it real again. To bring back the tools like meditation, breathwork, and inner refinement that our tradition always had but buried out of fear, trauma, and exile. We talk about what dveykus actually means, not a vague spiritual buzzword but a lived experience of radical presence and attachment to God. We explore how Judaism lost that fire and how Elevation is working to restore it. Doniel has faced pushback, even being called a heretic and written off by segments of the ultra-Orthodox world who would rather preserve the image of holiness than wrestle with what holiness really demands. Together we dig into how to navigate criticism without alienating supporters and how to stay focused on the mission instead of getting lost in endless battles.One of the parts of our conversation that stayed with me was Doniel's take on psychedelics. While he stopped short of claiming they are found in Judaism as some suggest, he was willing to explore the role these experiences might play in the larger search for the Divine. Hearing that from someone so rooted in Torah made me pause and consider how broad and inclusive our spiritual conversations can really be.For me this was not only an interview but also a mirror. I walked away asking myself how much of my own energy goes into fighting battles instead of building what I set out to build. That is why I believe this episode will challenge you, not just to think differently about Judaism, but to reflect on your own search for more.See you on the other side,Eli

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, Berman takes up the host role for an in-depth interview with author Yaakov Katz about his new book, "While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East," which he co-wrote with Amir Bohbot. A former military correspondent, Katz served as editor in chief of The Jerusalem Post from 2016-2023, leaving just before the war. Currently a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute in Jerusalem, Katz is the author or co-author of four books. Katz talks about the ignored "alarm bells" indicating that Hamas was about to launch a major attack prior to October 7, 2023. He speaks about the uncertainty whether Hamas was conducting a drill and how warning signs were disregarded because they didn't fit the paradigm built by Israel around the capabilities of Hamas. "We were so infatuated, in love with the signal intelligence, the visual intelligence. We knew everything because we had the technology. But while we thought we knew, we did not know what their intentions were, we did not know what they were really planning," said Katz. Katz delves into the goals of Hamas head Yahye Sinwar and how many he achieved, despite the terrorist group's degradation. We hear an assessment of the war, almost two years in, as well as who should be running Gaza in the day after. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms.

He also examines Iran's deepening ties to Hamas, the intelligence gaps inside Gaza, and the ethical dilemmas of modern warfare in urban environments.
