My guest is Dr. Marc Berman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago whose research explores how different physical environments—particularly nature and patterns found in nature—can positively impact our ability to focus, our cognitive performance and our mental and physical health. We discuss how our physical environment influences our attention, stress levels and brain and heart health. He explains how even brief periods in nature and exposure to natural images and sounds can restore and improve attentional capacity, reduce mental fatigue and help combat rumination and depression. Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, this episode offers simple science-backed strategies for incorporating nature and natural elements into your daily life to positively transform your cognitive ability and mental and physical health.

People are getting AI Avatars of their family members to talk to them after they die, and we see a few issues with this form of grieving.

A note from Margaret: My family was visiting Kerrville, TX when the flood occurred.

Welcome back to another Patreon Pick this July, Goons! Today, we are talking A24's Bring Her Back at the request of our long time Patreon member and good friend, Cam! The film premiered in May and was written and directed by the Phillippou brothers–the same duo who brought us the uber popular and highly successful first film, Talk to Me. The film stars Billy Barratt, Sora Wong in her film debut, and Sally Hawkins, who you may know from The Shape of Water. This one is super intense; it's currently streaming for a price, so we recommend you watch before you listen, as there are spoilers aplenty. In addition, Bloody Disgusting came out with a top 10 list of horror this year thus far, so we decided to give you our own! What are your faves this year?? Check out Bloody Disgusting's list to see if you agree or disagree with anything here: https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3885961/best-horror-so-far-2025/Finally, we wanted to give you some resources to donate towards disaster relief for the Texas flash floods, as this is something that hits close to home for Mikey and is just devastating.

In a world where “self-help” ($34 billion) and mental health ($83 billion) are billion-dollar businesses, they ask: Why do so many adults struggle with life?It is simple yet profound: No one taught them the craft of living well, he says.Think about this: Teaching kids' sports skills at an early age is common.Yet many ignore instructing their kids “proven practices” to think, solve problems, and build good relationships. These are the very skills that lead to happiness and a better world.At the I Believe in Me Foundation, they are changing that.Most of us learn life skills from our families, pop culture, and hard knocks. A few people stumble upon powerful life skills, and many do not.What happens?Adults stop growing in their personal and professional lives. Depression, Chronic Stress, and Anxiety. A life of discontent and a search for meaning, struggling with self-doubt and a lack of capability.Their call is to end the cycle and teach kids life-enhancing skills they will use for a lifetime.Here's What they Do, they Give Scholarships, they empower tweens and families with Life Intelligence Skills for lifelong success and happiness regardless of financial resources. https://ibelieveinmefoundation.com/ https://believebecomebeyou.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Remember the days of arcades filled with quarters jingling in your pocket? The satisfaction of finally beating that impossible level after dozens of tries? The Power Point Podcast crew takes you on a nostalgic journey through gaming history while exploring what's capturing their attention today.Jim reveals his ongoing obsession with Retro Mania Wrestling, a pixel-perfect throwback to arcade wrestling games that's about to release exciting DLC featuring legends like Macho Man Randy Savage. Meanwhile, Keith shares how racing games have become a competitive family affair in his household, with his daughter mysteriously dominating every time trial despite his best efforts. Scott confesses his frustration with overly complex control schemes, championing simplicity in gaming design that lets players focus on fun rather than memorizing button combinations.The conversation winds through cherished memories of classic board games—Mousetrap's elaborate Rube Goldberg contraptions, Operation's nerve-wracking buzzer (which the hosts lament isn't as shocking in modern versions), and Perfection's anxiety-inducing timer. There's a shared concern that today's digital-native children are missing out on these analog experiences, with many preferring to watch others play games on YouTube rather than engaging directly. As one host puts it: "Kids aren't using their imagination anymore."From arcade experiences to the emerging frontier of virtual reality gaming, the discussion showcases how gaming continues to evolve while still fulfilling our fundamental desire for play, competition, and escape. Whether you're a casual gamer, a dedicated enthusiast, or someone who hasn't picked up a controller in years, this episode will rekindle your appreciation for the universal joy of games.Tune in to hear about Black Sabbath's epic final concert, upcoming collaborations with other podcasts, and which childhood games still haunt the hosts decades later.

Listen to these heartfelt words of warning from Megan Garcia, the mother of a fourteen year-old boy who died by suicide in February: “There is a platform out there you might not have heard about, but you need to know about it because, in my opinion, we are behind the eight ball here. A child is gone. My child is gone.” Her son, Sewell, had logged on to a site known as Character.AI. The site allows users to create and interact with fictional chatbot characters. Kids who are lonely are especially vulnerable to going deep into these so-called relationships with chatbots. But the risks are many, including exposure to hate speech, sexually explicit content, security issues, and privacy violations. In Garcia's case, she is now suing the company, since in a conversation where he said he was considering suicide, the chatbot did not dissuade him. Parents, shield your kids from these ai companion sites. What our kids really need are healthy real-life relationships with family and friends.

In this patriotic edition of The Audio Files, Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot celebrate American music from every angle, mixing rock anthems, punk nostalgia, and country swagger. They kick off by belatedly marking the 4th of July with X's “Fourth of July,” Tom Petty's “American Girl,” and the tongue-in-cheek “United States of Whatever.” Along the way, they share stories of vinyl collections, musical awakenings, and unforgettable live shows. The episode features everything from Kim Wilde's “Kids in America” to Kid Rock's “American Badass” and Neil Diamond's iconic “America.” They reflect on the patriotic surge after 9/11 and play Toby Keith's “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” Lynyrd Skynyrd's comeback hit “Red White and Blue,” and Steve Miller Band's “Living in the USA.” Interwoven are lively anecdotes about guitars, recording studios, and the authenticity of New Yorkers. The hosts close with WASP's fiery performance and Hendrix's legendary Woodstock rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, capturing the spirit, pride, and contradictions of America through music.
Kenneth Ginsburg, author of Lighthouse Parenting, explains how parents can build lasting bonds with teens by balancing structure, trust, and unconditional love, and shares practical communication strategies.Full Show NotesWe often hear that teens thrive best when they feel deeply understood, loved without judgment, and gently guided rather than controlled. But this balance is hard to strike—especially as teens push away, test boundaries, and become more independent. Too much freedom feels unsafe, yet too much vigilance breeds rebellion. How can we stay close, set boundaries, and respect teens' autonomy, all at the same time?The secret might lie in what Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg calls “lighthouse parenting". Instead of hovering anxiously like a helicopter, micromanaging like a lawnmower, or retreating entirely, a lighthouse parent provides steady guidance from the shoreline. They trust teens to navigate life's waves yet remain watchful, reliable, and ready to help when needed. Done right, this blend of love, boundaries, and respect leads to children who flourish not just during adolescence, but also maintain a strong, loving connection with parents throughout adulthood.Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg is a leading pediatrician, adolescent health specialist, and author of numerous influential books, including his latest, Lighthouse Parenting: Raising Your Child with Loving Guidance for a Lifelong Bond. Through decades of research and practical experience working with adolescents and families, Ken has identified simple yet powerful ways parents can connect with teens while also helping them cultivate strength, compassion, and resilience.In this episode, Ken shares the key ingredients of lighthouse parenting and how to implement them practically, starting today. From smarter ways to praise and discipline, to addressing judgment and communicating more calmly, you'll learn actionable insights you can put into practice immediately.The Lighthouse Approach to ParentingWe start our conversation by unpacking what lighthouse parenting actually means—and why it works. Ken explains that decades of research identify balanced parenting as the gold standard: consistent boundaries combined with genuine warmth and flexibility. The challenge has always been how to achieve this balance in real daily interactions.The lighthouse metaphor brings clarity to that balancing act. A lighthouse is stable and dependable. Instead of running out to rescue every time the waters get rough, it provides a steady beam, trusting the sailor to learn how to navigate. Likewise, lighthouse parents deeply love their child and provide consistent boundaries, but also trust teens to handle challenges, make mistakes, and learn from them. This fosters competence, confidence, and lasting closeness.Making Communication Effective, Not Just EmotionalKen reveals how many conversations go awry because we mistakenly use what he calls “hot communication"—reactive, emotionally-charged messages filled with judgment or exaggerated empathy. Hot communication sets off teens' emotional brains and blocks logical thinking. On the other hand, "cold communication,” which Ken says is actually warm, calm, and emotionally soothing, allows teens to feel safe enough to open up and engage productively.In the episode, Ken offers practical scripts for communicating in a cooler, more effective way and avoiding judgment. He shares how even subtle judgments (criticizing neighbors or yelling at the TV) make teens less likely to open up about sensitive topics. He also discusses the dangers of praising only achievements, inadvertently signaling conditional love, and describes ways to praise kids that reinforce unconditional love and openness.Protecting By Preparing, Not HoveringOverprotective, hovering parenting is tempting when we desperately want to keep teens safe. But Ken makes a compelling argument that true protection comes from preparation, not control. Teens who haven't practiced decision-making, conflict-resolution, or recovering from failure at home often make mistakes outside the safety of the family when stakes are higher.Through reminders and reflection exercises, Ken shows how parents can dilute their helicopter tendencies by asking key questions about what protection actually means for lifelong success. Instead of rescuing teens from every difficulty, lighthouse parents allow adolescents space to solve problems, while maintaining protective guardrails, setting the stage for healthier independence and interdependence.Fostering Interdependence and Strong CharacterStrong families rely on mutual interdependence, yet modern society too frequently emphasizes independence and self-reliance, damaging teen-parent bonds and emotional wellbeing. Ken passionately argues we need to raise young people who not only stand strong but also know how to lean into lasting family support systems when needed.As teens mature into adulthood, Ken believes that intentionally nurturing key character strengths—such as gratitude, humility, generosity, compassion, and responsibility—is foundational to their success and happiness. In our interview, Ken offers powerful examples of how parents can recognize and reinforce constructive behaviors to strengthen character starting from early childhood up through the teen years, ultimately shaping a purposeful, joyful adult life.In the Episode…Our conversation covers so many insightful ideas, and you won't want to miss the impactful topics we discuss:Why praise and excessive empathy can accidentally backfireSpecific scripts to motivate teens using their strengthsUnderstanding judgmental behaviors you might not even realize you're doingWhy cell-phone discipline isn't always the right answer, and how to handle tech smartlyPractical tips for enjoying happier, higher-quality “high yield” conversations with your teenIf you've ever worried whether your approach is helping or harming your relationship with your teen, this episode is a must. Dr. Ginsburg's warm, insightful perspective and practical strategies empower parents to build deep bonds that last a lifetime.Check out all of Ken's resources at fosteringresilience.com or parentandteen.com, and don't forget to grab your copy of Lighthouse Parenting.
