Air Date: 6/10/2026 Today we explore how Taiwan's own people are stuck between the US and China. Fewer and fewer of them want to rejoin China but their faith in America is sinking just as fast as Trump treats them as a bargaining chip. Their own leaders are split on how to respond.

The sound of the water in a river in Wissahickon, Philadelphia. An episode in honour of organizers. Greg aka my dad learns that most of the time we call "activism" "organizing" now. We listen to an episode made by Yowei Shaw, the investigative journalist of emotion. Nicole is an organizer who's afraid to stop being angry. At the same time she is afraid NOT to stop being angry. Yowei connects Nicole with what she calls a "proxy"; someone who has experienced something similar. Lucky for us, this proxy is Deborah Gould, a member emeritus of the ICONIC gay rights organization: ACT UP. Happy pride month beautiesssss xoxoDonate to the guild (KP/the heart/mermaid palace) HERE.

KP decided THE SHOW was the perfect time to do her makeup… live… on-air… with zero shame. Meanwhile, Benny’s dealing with a full-blown “rage virus eye situation” (doctor? maybe. panic? definitely), and somehow that’s NOT the craziest story this episode. Add in KP missing yet another major event — like… statistically impossible at this point — plus Benny’s new kitten turning his life into chaos, and you’ve got one of our most unhinged episodes yet.

What if the next five years of your career isn't defined by which AI you use, but by who you're working with?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick unpack the quiet revolution happening in management consulting. OpenAI just launched a deployment company and acquired a consulting firm. Anthropic is backing enterprise AI consultancies. PE firms are partnering with AI-enabled consultants and offering equity instead of hourly fees. The result? Three tiers of value capture emerging: billable hours (worst talent), risk-based fees (middle tier), and equity models (where the best people go). If you're still getting paid by the hour to do AI transformation work, you're in the bottom tier.But the deeper insight is about career trajectory. KP argues the next five years aren't defined by how good your Claude skills are. They're defined by who you're sitting next to. Are you in a firm where Opus 4.8 launching makes everyone's Slack light up with memes and excitement? Or are you somewhere people still think AI is a threat? The gap between those two environments is the gap between relevance and obsolescence. The conversation also unpacks skills files as potentially employee-owned IP (not company-owned), why structural engineers still double-check software calculations in Excel despite working for billion-dollar firms, and why Zero's training program spends two-thirds of its time on mental models and thinking frameworks, not AI mechanics.Key questions answered:Why are OpenAI and Anthropic launching consulting practices and partnering with PE firms?What are the three tiers of value capture in AI consulting (billable hours, risk fees, equity)?Where does the best consulting talent go: hourly billing or equity models?Do you own your skills files, or does your company?Should companies make employees sign IP agreements for marketing coordinators building AI workflows?Why do structural engineers still double-check software calculations in Excel?What's Zero's training curriculum focused on: AI tools or thinking frameworks?Why does ambition and optimism matter more than technical AI skill?How should you choose between working at a forward-leaning AI firm versus a traditional one?What happens when Opus 4.8 launches: does your team's Slack light up or stay silent?Why would you sell a $250M/year AI consulting firm when you're banking $50M annually?What's Ramp tracking now: token spend by industry?If you're deciding between firms based on AI adoption, wondering whether your skills files are actually your IP, or trying to figure out whether billable hours still work in an AI-enabled consulting world, this episode will make you realize the technology matters less than the ambition and optimism of the people around you.Listen now.
Air Date: 5–30-2026 Today we examine how Trump turned a sham lawsuit into a $1.8 billion reward fund for his political allies who attacked the Capitol on January 6th while implementing a counterterrorism strategy that erases right-wing extremism from the threat landscape, refocuses on left-wing violence that hardly exists and threatens to "find and kill" those they deem enemies.

In this episode, Dr. Rob Assibey and Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea are joined by Family Medicine Revolution legends Dr. Jay W. Lee and Dr. Rachel Friedman. Dr. Friedman was one of two Santa Rosa family medicine residents (along with Dr. Nicole Mohlman) who were fed up with the academic establishment's attitude toward family medicine, and began to draw up plans to make family medicine a force in healthcare. From the Family Medicine T-shirt Revolution, to the social media storm that Dr. Lee championed with #FMRevolution, you'll hear the legends themselves talk about the origin story of this incredible movement and why it's important to carry, and pass on, that torch! Guests: Jay W. Lee, MD, MPH is a family physician leader and public health advocate who co-founded the FMRevolution hashtag – a grassroots movement reclaiming the power, purpose, and future of Family Medicine. He is a passionate voice for primary care justice, physician workforce renewal, and training the next generation to lead boldly, speak truth, and rebuild a health system rooted in relationships, equity, and community. Rachel Friedman, MD is a family physician in Santa Rosa and sees herself as a "whole person-ologist"-- a specialist not just in one particular organ system, but in the way all of the elements in a person's body, mind, heredity, and environment interact to create health/disease. She moved to Santa Rosa in 2008 to complete family medicine residency, with an additional fellowship in Integrative Medicine, and fell in love with this area. In 2012, she joined KP Santa Rosa as both a full-scope family physician and founding faculty of a new KP family medicine residency. She recently became Program Director of the training program, a leadership role that allows her to continue seeing patients and teaching, while pursuing her passions for whole person, patient-centered healthcare, equity/inclusion, and healthcare transformation/innovation.

This week on The Dr. Youn Show, Dr. Anthony Youn is joined by dermatologist Dr. Emily Levin for a special “Ask the Dermatologist” episode, answering real listener questions about the most common, and most frustrating, skin concerns people deal with every day. They break down everything from seborrheic dermatitis, cystic acne, rosacea, melasma, keloids, KP (“chicken skin”), stretch marks, and spider veins to GLP-1 related skin changes, hair loss, sunscreen, Korean skincare, and whether red light therapy can worsen melasma. They also discuss Accutane myths, the truth about collagen loss during weight loss, scar treatments that actually work, and why some viral skincare trends may be doing more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Levin shares her honest thoughts on cosmetic treatments, laser therapy, pregnancy-related skin changes, eczema triggers, and the biggest misconceptions people have about dermatology and anti-aging.

The lottery reaction was one thing… the fallout afterward somehow got even crazier. Brad and Ryan regroup to break down the discourse surrounding the Pacers officially conveying the No. 5 pick to the Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade. The guys explain why this was still the correct “win-now” move for Indiana, why Zubac remains one of the best values at the center position in the league, and why context matters when evaluating aggressive front office decisions. They also discuss Kevin Pritchard's transparency and accountability in the aftermath of the lottery, while reacting to some of the wildly over-the-top national takes calling the trade a disaster or suggesting KP should be fired. A passionate conversation about risk, roster building, and why the Pacers are still positioned to make another serious run next season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Air Date: 5–9-2026 Today we examine how political violence has always been woven into the fabric of American life and who gets to decide what counts as violence in the first place. We'll hear about presidential assassinations, the assassination of Fred Hampton, the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia, and the long history of state-sanctioned violence. And I'll discuss the only real way to bend the curve back away from endemic violence in the US. Full show notes Be part of the show!

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dr. Minhas Khan from Peshawar University about the complexities of intra-faith relations and the limitations of Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" theory. They explore how the perception of the Muslim world as a monolithic entity is often a reductive Western construct used to serve political agendas, rather than an accurate reflection of its diverse cultural and ethnic landscapes. The conversation delves into the historical and structural roots of internal divisions within Islam, such as the Sunni-Shia divide, arguing that these fractures are frequently exacerbated by deliberate foreign engineering and statecraft rather than purely ancient theological hatred. Pinna and Khan also examine the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, highlighting the role of resource control—specifically oil—and the unique position of Pakistan as a potential diplomatic mediator in a region where economic interests often override religious identity. Dr. Minhas Majeed Khan is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Born in Lakki Marwat, a remote area in the South of KP, she was married at the age of 16 due to which she had to discontinue her studies. With the support of her husband and three children she took a restart after 16 years of marriage and obtained her Ph.D. degree in International Relations in 2013. Dr. Khan teaches various courses to students of Masters level, MPhil and Ph.D. She is currently supervising one Ph.D., one Mphil and six undergrads dissertations. She has to her credit various publication in national and international academic journals. Her areas of interest focus on the study of religion and its role in politics, role of gender in peace and security, foreign policy decision-making, conflict resolution, US and Pakistan relations; regional politics of South, South West and Central Asia, the Pakhtuns; and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). As a Muslim woman, she strongly feels committed to strengthen the role of women in conflict transformation and peace building in a diverse setting with an aim at promoting peace and tolerance for a peaceful and stable international society. Dr. Khan is an active member of Pakistan Girls Guide Association and member to Regional Institute of Policy Research and Training (RIPORT) Board of Directors since 2010.
Air Date: 05-06-2026 Today we examine how the U.S. war on Iran is producing an economic crisis with echoes of the 1970s stagflation era which explains why Trump is now less popular on inflation than Jimmy Carter. We'll also be exploring various element of the structure of our economy, including how GDP became a deeply misleading measure of welfare, why consumer spending increasingly goes toward things people don't want to buy, and how gambling and junk fees are literally counted as economic growth.

Air Date: 4–29-2026 Today we explore the extraordinary clash between Pope Leo XIV and the Trump White House — a feud involving military threats, medieval papal history, and an American-born pope who refuses to back down. We'll hear why analysts say MAGA's religiosity is pure aesthetic, and what that hollowness means for the millions of Americans still taking their faith seriously.
