What is a "gooner" and what do they have to do with so-called porn addictions? DB sits down with Dr. Nikky Prause, a clinical scientist and researcher who's written on everything from asexuality to penis size preference to compulsive sexual behavior. And we found her in a pretty interesting way... from a YouTube video that claims to be a look into a real gooner's life and struggles, all revolving around a porn addiction.

Send us Fan MailFor many people, the story of Black Civil War soldiers ends on the battlefield. But what if some of the most revealing stories happened far from combat, in military camps, prison cells, and court-martial records?In this episode, Kenyatta sits down with historian Dr. Jonathan Lande to discuss his book, Freedom Soldiers. Together, they explore how newly emancipated Black men navigated military service, not simply as soldiers, but as people actively pursuing freedom on their own terms. Jonathan shares how years of archival research uncovered the voices of men whose experiences have long been overlooked, revealing a more complex story of emancipation, military justice, and everyday resistance.Their conversation examines why Jonathan refers to these men as "enlisted freedom seekers," how court-martial records preserve the words of soldiers who were rarely heard elsewhere in the historical record, and what these stories teach us about family, survival, and the unfinished work of freedom during the Civil War.This episode is a powerful reminder that history is shaped by more than famous battles and celebrated heroes. It is also found in overlooked records, where ordinary people fought for dignity, protected their families, and defined freedom for themselves.In this episode:How Jonathan Lande's path from aspiring attorney to Civil War historian shaped his researchWhy films like Glory sparked his early interest in history and how later scholarship challenged those narrativesThe meaning behind the term "enlisted freedom seekers" and why language matters when telling Civil War historyHow military camps, prisons, and court-martial records reveal a different perspective on Black military serviceWhy many formerly enslaved soldiers enlisted to protect their families and secure their own freedom instead of pursuing abstract ideals of citizenshipWhat genealogists and family historians can learn from military court records and compiled service recordsThe remarkable firsthand testimonies preserved in court-martial records, including stories of resistance, resilience, and survivalThe challenges and rewards of uncovering overlooked voices in the archivesJonathan's advice for writers on finishing a manuscript and building a sustainable writing practiceFeatured BookFreedom Soldiers by Dr. Jonathan LandePlease visit Jonathan's website at: Jonathanlande.comConversations with Kenyatta features Kenyatta D.

This week I speak with Sue Moore Donaldson, who speaks to connect women to the welcoming heart of God and to each other. Sue's invitation to a deeper life with God is combined with the biblical challenge to be a woman who welcomes, as she challenges us to invite others into our lives and homes (for heaven's sake!) A popular retreat and conference speaker, Sue shares from her own vulnerability—“a work in progress or a piece of work – depending on the day,” as she likes to say- and audiences connect to her authentic approach to God's Word spoken with grace and humor. Sue is a podcaster and author as well. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

This week, I speak with Annie Heathcote, a multi-business owner, social media influencer, author, Christian, and lifelong disability advocate whose life and work embody the belief that disability doesn't mean inability. Diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder (S.M.A.) at 13 months and in a wheelchair by age 2, she has dedicated her life to breaking barriers, championing accessibility, and inspiring others with her message of resilience and faith. She was crowned Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin in 2023, using her platform Caring Is Caregiving to reach more than 100,000 people in 52 events that year, speaking at schools, conferences, organizations, and across media outlets statewide. Her advocacy took her to the Ms. Wheelchair America national competition, where she placed in the top five, earning Second Runner-Up and the Best Speech award. She has since been recognized as Woman of the Year for Dane County for her leadership and community impact. Beyond advocacy, Annie is the founder of Annie Designs and Annie Speaks, LLC, where she works as a freelance web and graphic designer and transformational speaker. She also brings creativity and joy into her everyday life through art, travel, music, and her achievements as a former elite athlete in the adaptive sport of Power Soccer. Annie's mission is simple but powerful: love, serve God and others, work hard, and never give up! We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

Amy shares how she first discovered Sarah's story, the nearly two decades she spent interviewing her, and why telling overlooked stories matters now more than ever.Together, they explore the long history of transportation segregation, the Black women who challenged it decades before it became national news, and the difference between becoming an activist by choice and standing up because your conscience leaves you no alternative.This conversation is a powerful reminder that history is shaped not only by famous names, but by ordinary people whose quiet courage changes the course of a nation.In this episode: How Amy Nathan discovered Sarah Keys Evans while researching women in the military  Why Sarah's story remained largely unknown despite her landmark legal victory  The decades-long research and relationship behind Riding Into History The overlooked history of Black women challenging segregation in transportation  Why dignity, respect, and citizenship were at the heart of the fight against Jim Crow  The connection between Sarah Keys' case, the Freedom Riders, and federal enforcement of desegregation  What today's readers can learn about moral courage and standing up for what's right Featured BookRiding Into History: The Surprising Story of Sarah Keys Evans and the Fight to Desegregate Bus Travel by Amy NathanConversations with Kenyatta features Kenyatta D.

Together, they share how they've navigated a delayed diagnosis, chose quality of life over aggressive treatment, and use dark humour, honesty, and deep love to “walk two roads”.  They talk about death binders, funeral pre-planning, and the village that holds them, showing what it looks like to grieve as you go and still embrace joy. The episode closes with a powerful AI-generated love song Bill created for Anna, “Live Till She Dies,” a musical legacy of their life on the land and their commitment to living fully to the end.

The traditional The Assistant Professor of Football season round-up is back. I asked guests from this past year, and some from previous years whose clubs had remarkable seasons of one sort or the other how their clubs have fared, what moment stands out, and what song best embodies their club's vibe this past season. They are:Medea Voegeli, professional historian and historian of FC Thun, from episode 76. Thun are the utterly sensational champions of Switzerland this year — after just having been promoted — so Medea has a lot of good vibes to share.Then Paul Reidy, our English correspondent at Rayo Vallecano; that club portrait is episode 46. Rayo made it to the final of the best European club competition outside the Champions League, the Conference League. They lost against Crystal Palace, but this is their greatest success.Another finalist: SC Freiburg, from episode 49. Freiburg made it to the Europa League final. They also lost against an English team, Aston Villa. Patrick Bucher from the club's history working group has a lot of stories to tell from his days at the final in Istanbul.Next up is Alana McDougall, a historian at the University of Guelph in Canada who published a fabulous people's history of Liverpool and joined us in episode 72 — she's back to analyze a rather mixed season for them.Then Stefan Wally, a political scientist and Austria Salzburg aficionado, on that club in the second Austrian league. They earned promotion last year and absolutely held their own — including a derby with the Red Bull farm team that tried to finish them off.And last but not least: two teams who got relegated but also see some hope on the horizon, because their relegation has triggered — or at least coincides with — much-needed changes in ownership and leadership at their respective clubs: West Ham and 1860 Munich.West Ham were relegated from the Premier League, as I'm sure you know. That is my club in England, and Alex — who is hard at work organizing supporters for change and for atmosphere at West Ham — gives us his take. And 1860… well, never a dull day there. The Jordanian investor withheld funds, the club was forced to drop out of the third German league, and it looks like that means — freedom, finally, for 1860. Claus Melchior from 1860's section on club history will give us the download.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Dubioza Kolektiv - I am from Bosnia, Take me to America (new music video, YouTube)NEW: send me a text message!

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to redesign the outdoors for everyone? Gnara Co-Founder GG Edwards joins our Season 14 finale to share how a glacier in Alaska sparked a revolution in outdoor apparel.While guiding on the Mendenhall Glacier, GG faced a choice every woman in the backcountry knows too well: trek across crevasses and peel off layers in freezing temps, or risk dehydration. Instead, she asked a simple question — what if her fly worked like the guys'? That idea became the patented GoFly® zipper and the brand now known as Gnara (formerly SheFly).In this conversation, GG opens up about sewing prototypes in her Vermont dorm room, a Kickstarter that raised over $100K in a single day, surviving a factory collapse during the pandemic, and the bold rebrand from SheFly to Gnara.We dig into why 56% of women report a bathroom accident outdoors, the taboo Gnara is dismantling, and the customer stories that prove this is so much bigger than a zipper — from Yosemite climbing guides to a solo round-the-world sailor.

What if you could paint your deepest emotions — without anyone judging whether the painting is beautiful, and without needing to analyze what it means? In this episode, I talk with Bahar Amanzadeh, an intuitive painting guide whose trauma-informed workshops create a safe, somatic space for emotional healing through art.Bahar explains how intuitive painting differs from art therapy, why healing happens in the body before it happens in the mind, and how community and creativity can help us find rootedness even in the most turbulent times. As a member of the Iranian diaspora, she also shares how this practice helps her and her community process grief, displacement, and the ongoing trauma of war.Whether you're an artist or have never picked up a paintbrush, I think this episode will change the way you think about creativity, emotional expression, and healing.In this episode:What an intuitive painting guide does — and how it differs from art therapyHow somatic, body-based art practices support trauma healingWhy the inner critic shows up in creative work — and how to work with itThe role of community in emotional healingHow Persian poetry, music, and culture help Bahar stay rooted during crisisFinding belonging and identity as part of the Iranian diasporaTimestamped Highlights0:12 — I introduce the show and share a personal story about anger, shame, and the need for nonjudgmental emotional expression2:21 — Bahar's background: from dentist to intuitive painting guide, and her training with Kris Sydell3:55 — What is an intuitive painting guide?

Send us Fan MailWhat if Washington's most overlooked landscape isn't a towering evergreen forest — but a sun-baked sea of sagebrush bursting with far more life than you'd ever expect?Cyrus Philbrick and Bridget Clark of Cowiche Canyon Conservancy join us at Snow Mountain Ranch to talk about the shrub-steppe — the vanishing ecosystem this nonprofit land trust has spent 40+ years protecting across 8,000+ acres and 60+ miles of free trails just outside Yakima.We get into how a community-driven land trust grows acre by acre, from a defunct railroad through Cowiche Canyon to the recent Konnowac Pass acquisition. Cyrus walks us through the two-volcano geology that carved the canyon's basalt and andesite cliffs, while Bridget shares how this landscape thrives on a quarter of the west side's rainfall.We also dig into the work that keeps this place wild: the battle against invasive cheatgrass and scotch thistle, the volunteers and school kids who make conservation personal, and a commitment to equity through Spanish-language wildflower walks that open the outdoors to all of Yakima. Plus their must-do weekend hikes and when to catch peak wildflowers.If you've ever driven east of the pass and written off the sagebrush, this episode will change how you see it.Episode Links:Cowiche Canyon Conservancy WebsiteCowiche Canyon Conservancy on FacebookCowiche Canyon Conservancy on InstagramThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the biggest assumptions we make about slavery during the Civil War is incomplete?In this episode of Conversations with Kenyatta, Kenyatta sits down with historian Robert Colby to discuss his groundbreaking research on slave trading during the Civil War and his book, An Unholy Traffic. Together, they unpack how the domestic slave trade continued even during wartime, what that reveals about Confederate motivations, and how enslaved people navigated impossible choices in pursuit of freedom. Robert shares how growing up near Civil War battlefields sparked his love of history and why the contradictions of slavery in American democracy led him to study the Civil War era and the institution of slavery. He also explains how archival discoveries, especially Confederate letters, led him to uncover evidence that enslaved people continued to be bought and sold throughout the war, despite assumptions that the practice had effectively ended when fighting began. Kenyatta and Robert explore: Why slave trading continued during the Civil War and what that reveals about Confederate goals  How enslaved people faced the constant threat of forced sale while pursuing freedom  The role Confederate letters and military records play in understanding enslaved lives and motivations of enslavers  Why genealogists should consider Confederate letters, military records, and the records of the Freedmen's Bureau in their research  How cities like New Orleans, Charleston, Richmond, and Atlanta became key locations in wartime slave trading networks  Why the uncertainty at the end of the war and the transition from slavery to freedom deserves more study This conversation challenges listeners to rethink slavery during wartime, Reconstruction, and even how we approach genealogy research. Whether you're a family historian, Civil War enthusiast, or someone interested in the lived realities of enslavement, this episode offers new perspectives and important questions to consider. Conversations with Kenyatta features Kenyatta D.

This week, I speak with Lori Vober, who suffered a hemorrhagic stroke at age twenty-nine and then developed epilepsy from the stroke. She is a survivor, an overcomer, a connector, and passionate about sharing hope with others. Even with her difficulties, Lori and her husband, Dainis, were able to become adoptive parents to a sibling group of three. Lori's journey and books can be found at www.lorivober.com. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

If you're old enough — what do you remember about the 1994 World Cup?And if you're not, try to picture it. Soccer in the United States before MLS existed. Matches inside the Pontiac Silverdome, a domed football stadium in Michigan — humid, bizarre, and somehow full. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Record attendances that still haven't been broken. A tournament that, by most outside, European or Latin American accounts, had no business working as well as it did.The standard story is that 1994 planted soccer in America. FIFA arrived, the world showed up, and a nation discovered the game. Tom McCabe thinks that story gets it almost exactly backwards. He is a historian, a filmmaker, and the co-host of the podcast An American Game, and he currently teaches at the University of Notre Dame's London Center. His documentary Soccertown USA follows Kearny, New Jersey — a small industrial town that produced three players on the same 1994 national team: Tab Ramos, John Harkes, Tony Meola. His argument is simple and unsettling: the game was already there. It had been there for a century. 1994 didn't plant anything — it just showed up late to something that immigrant communities had built long before FIFA came looking for a market.And that matters now, in the summer of 2026, because the World Cup is back, and so this is a look back b7t just as much a prep episode for what's about to happen here. I'm torn about this World Cup. But if we're going to understand what this tournament means — who it's for, what it reveals, what it might actually leave behind — we need a better story from then to now. And that is what this conversation is about.Music throughout this episode are huts from 1994, some of you will feel nostalgic: Ace of Base. Weezer. Beck. Roxette. All from that year. And Bruce Springsteen, whose Streets of Philadelphia uncovered a very different side of America, in that year as well. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Soccertown USA (full documentary, Youtube)An American Game (podcast)NEW: send me a text message!
