Paul builds his case for unity in the Corinthian church by piling seven arguments on top of one another. How do those arguments fit together?

The world lost a legend recently, and we wanted in some small way to pay tribute to the great Dolly Parton. So we're playing you an episode from a series we had a small part in back in 2017, Dolly Parton's America. The series kicked off with a simple question: How did the queen of the boob joke become a feminist icon? Helen Morales, author of “Pilgrimage to Dollywood,” gave us a stern directive – look at the lyrics! So we dive into Dolly's discography, starting with the early period of what Dolly calls “sad ass songs” to find remarkably prescient words of female pain, slut-shaming, domestic violence, and women being locked away in asylums by cheating husbands. We explore how Dolly took the centuries-old tradition of the Appalachian “murder ballad”—an oral tradition of men singing songs about brutally killing women—and flipped the script, singing from the woman's point of view. And as her career progresses, the songs expand beyond the pain to tell tales of leaving abuse behind. How can such pro-woman lyrics come from someone who despises the word feminism? Best to let Dolly tell you herself. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee Produced by - Jad Abumrad with help from - W.

When raising or teaching gifted, twice-exceptional, and differently wired children, adults often face the emotional whiplash of asynchronous development. A child might engage in deep, high-level discussions one moment, only to struggle with basic emotional regulation, task initiation, or practical organization the next. Colleen Kessler, an educator, gifted specialist, author of The Homeschool Advantage, and host of the Raising Lifelong Learners podcast, joins Emily to discuss why supporting neurodivergent kids requires shifting away from one-size-fits-all expectations and becoming an active student of the individual child. TAKEAWAYS Asynchronous development is a natural hallmark of neurodivergence where intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities develop at markedly different rates. Becoming a student of the child allows adults to separate neurological wiring differences from behavioral choices, leading to more effective scaffolding. Authentic strengths-based learning uses a student's high-interest areas to build the confidence and resilience to tackle difficult academic tasks. Testing critical thinking or scientific understanding can be separated from writing output by utilizing speech-to-text tools and alternative dictation methods. Highly capable learners often mask executive functioning deficits until cumulative demands outpace their early compensatory strategies. Being an effective advocate requires ongoing, collaborative communication between home and school rather than relying solely on formal annual meetings. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. You'll learn how to replace pathologizing jargon with empowering, neurodiversity-affirming language that builds self-advocacy and resilience. Register for this course today. Colleen Kessler is an author, educator, educational consultant, and international speaker specializing in gifted, twice-exceptional, and other neurodivergent learners. With degrees in elementary education and gifted studies, she helps parents, educators, and clinicians better understand and support the social, emotional, and executive functioning needs of neurodivergent children through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. Colleen is the founder of Raising Lifelong Learners and the host of the Raising Lifelong Learners podcast. Through her books, executive function resources, educational consulting, coaching programs, and The Learner's Lab membership community, she equips families with practical strategies to foster confidence, resilience, meaningful relationships, and a lifelong love of learning. Combining professional expertise with lived experience, Colleen empowers families to recognize and celebrate each child's unique strengths.

Anatole Pang returns to The Lab to explain what's really happening with Tottenham's extraordinary summer spending. Why is net spend such a misleading way of judging ambition? Have Spurs actually spent far less than their Big Six rivals where it really matters? And after years of investing in the stadium and the club's commercial infrastructure, are we finally seeing the payoff? We look at Tottenham's estimated £700m–£1bn spending deficit, why buying three £20m players isn't the same as buying one £60m player, how Spurs can afford to keep spending, and whether Daniel Levy deserves more credit for building the financial machine now being unleashed in the transfer market. Plus: PSR and SCR, football ownership, Manchester City, Chelsea, Abramovich, the future of the Premier League and why £100m transfers might not actually be as crazy as they look.

The greatest mysteries have a shadowy figure at the center—someone who sets things in motion and holds the key to how the story unfolds. In epidemiology, this central character is known as Patient Zero—the case at the heart of an outbreak. This hour, Radiolab digs up an episode we first produced in 2011 and hunts for Patient Zeroes from all over the map. We start with the story of perhaps the most iconic Patient Zero of all time: Typhoid Mary. Then, we dive into a molecular detective story to pinpoint the beginning of the AIDS, and we re-imagine the moment the virus that caused the global pandemic sprang to life. After that, we're left wondering if you can trace the spread of an idea the way you can trace the spread of a disease. In the end, we find ourselves faced with a choice between competing claims about the origin of the high five.  Signup for our newsletter!!

What does your bloodwork actually tell you about your health and performance?Lab results can be incredibly useful, but understanding them isn't as simple as looking for a number to fall inside a “normal” range.In this episode of Unfiltered Strength, we talk about the importance of looking at lab markers in context, understanding how different markers interact, and recognizing that there is a LOT of individual variation when it comes to health, hormones, recovery, and performance.Two people can have the exact same lab value and have very different symptoms, goals, circumstances, and outcomes.Your labs are data. They're not the entire story.We break down why context matters, why chasing individual numbers can be misleading, and how a more comprehensive approach can help you better understand what your bloodwork may actually be telling you.

There's a before and an after to Paul Yoon's writing life, and at the center is Oscar — a floppy, gentle, food-loving, 70-pound yellow Lab.Yoon didn't grow up with dogs, so it was really his wife — fellow writer Laura van den Berg — who insisted on the addition. She might have known what would happen to their buttoned-up writing life when a puppy entered it. Paul didn't.But he quickly fell in love with this disruptive and magical creature. It gave him a new way of looking at the world. His sixth novel is the result of that transformation. “Etna” is about a combat dog searching for home after war ravages his unnamed country — and the whole story is told from the dog's point of view. It's something Yoon wouldn't have attempted outside of Oscar. “Part of it was imagining what Oscar might sound like,” Yoon tells Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. ”I imagine him to be a dignified and empathetic creature. To me, he's the best — so it was trying to capture what I thought were his best qualities and bring that onto the page.”Guest:Paul Yoon is a writer and a professor who lives in Hudson, New York, with his wife and their dog, Oscar.

Steve Palmer is joined by private investigator Scott Shepherd of Justified Investigations for the inaugural installment of our new series, "What Would We Do?" Together, they dig deep into the highly-publicized case of Bryan Kohberger, the man who pled guilty to the infamous quadruple homicide of University of Idaho students, but is now seeking to withdraw his plea.Steve Palmer and Scott Shepherd walk listeners through their approach if Kohberger called on them for help: Would they take his case? What are the legal standards around withdrawing a guilty plea? How would they investigate claims of mistakes or missed evidence, and is there any hope for overturning such a high-profile conviction?Drawing on real-world experience with post-conviction and appellate cases, the duo explains the legal and investigatory checklists they'd follow, what pitfalls and optics matter, and the hard realities of mounting a defense when the evidence seems stacked and the system favors finality. This episode offers a rare, insider perspective on handling notorious cases, the science around DNA and forensic evidence, and the cold calculus of criminal defense.3 Key Takeaways:Thorough Post-Conviction Review Is Essential: The process isn't about simply retrying a case. It means digging deep, ordering transcripts, analyzing legal standards, and determining if any manifest injustice occurred. Every angle, document, and expert report must be scrutinized anew.Scientific Evidence Requires Expert Re-examination: DNA, forensic, and cell phone evidence must be independently re-analyzed, not just accepted at face value. Even seemingly overwhelming DNA evidence can be misinterpreted or inconclusive without proper expert consultation.Finality vs. Justice: The justice system is structured to resist reopening resolved cases. Unless there's a clear showing of manifest injustice, such as newly discovered exculpatory evidence or demonstrable ineffective counsel, courts are unlikely to allow plea withdrawals.Moments09:36 Proving manifest injustice12:39 Examining plea advisement and relief17:28 Analyzing DNA Evidence21:52 Gas station surveillance clues29:47 Consulting with a medical expert36:48 Lab testing and protocol differences40:45 Investigator's approach to facts48:19 Analyzing vehicle video evidence52:14 Covering up evidence activities58:28 Negotiating plea deals01:02:34 Discussing legal challenges in evidenceSubmit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Effective public safety policy is founded on preventing crime and repairing harm, but these are not the foundations of America's reactionary criminal justice establishment. This week on Rattling the Bars, we host a roundtable discussion about the DC Justice Lab's 2026 Public Safety Policy Agenda, which has been endorsed by 30 progressive organizations working directly with system-impacted individuals, and about criminal justice reforms that would ensure safer communities through restorative justice, not draconian punishment.Additional links/info:DC Justice Lab website, Facebook page, X page, and InstagramDC Justice Lab, 2026 DC Public Safety Policy AgendaCredits:Producer / Videographer / Editor: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric Osansky answers listener questions focused primarily on hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and general thyroid health. He starts with iodine exposure from CT contrast and the nutrients needed for healthy thyroid function, then explores how symptoms like hair loss, fatigue, thinning eyebrows, and temperature changes can overlap with thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause, nutrient deficiencies, and other underlying imbalances. Dr. Eric also tackles questions about thyroid hormone replacement, including natural desiccated thyroid versus synthetic options, difficulty tolerating medication changes, thyroid hormone resistance, and whether it's possible to eventually reduce the need for thyroid medication. He discusses thyroid nodules and goiters, low ferritin, medicinal mushrooms, autoimmune gastritis, secretory IgA, persistent leaky gut, food sensitivities, parasite cleanses, and why identifying underlying triggers is often more important than simply adding more supplements. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes that thyroid care needs to be individualized. Lab values, symptoms, immune health, gut health, nutrient status, medications, and the underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction all matter when deciding what steps to take. If you want practical answers to common thyroid questions—and a clearer understanding of what may be influencing your thyroid health—you'll get a lot out of this episode.  Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

For so many people, the thought of memory loss or cognitive decline feels frightening. But today's guest shares an empowering message: there is so much we can do through our daily choices to support brain health and reduce risk. I'm joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, board-certified neurologist, leading brain health expert, and bestselling author of Brain Defenders, to discuss what we can do today to protect our brains as we age.  We explore the important shift in how we understand brain health, looking at the bigger picture of immunometabolism, metabolic health, inflammation, and the environment that influences the brain long before symptoms appear. Dr. Perlmutter explains why habits that support the entire body, including blood sugar balance and reduced inflammation, can also support cognitive health.  He also shares exciting areas of research and reminds us that even small changes can create meaningful improvements over time. Just like we can take steps to support our bones, we can also support our brains through the choices we make every day.   "Your brain's destiny is in your hands. It's based upon the choices that you are going to make every single day. A cure for dementia is not going to be given to you in the form of a medication." ~ Dr. David Perlmutter   In this episode: - [03:22] - The new science of brain health and immunometabolism - [11:19] - Metabolic health and its impact on cognitive decline - [17:26] - Blood sugar, insulin resistance, and brain health - [28:35] - How to protect your brain as you age - [31:37] - Lab tests for proactive brain health - [39:15] - Environmental toxins, plastics, and brain health - [45:26] - Emerging therapies and the future of brain protection - [52:08] - Resources from Dr. Perlmutter   Resources - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - https://tinyurl.com/mystrongbonesexercises - Dr. Perlmutter's new book, Brain Defenders - https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ - Dr. Perlmutter's website - https://drperlmutter.com/   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Can better buildings cut India's energy bills by up to 40%? Saint-Gobain Asia Pacific and India Region CEO Sreedhar N joins Govindraj Ethiraj to explain how energy-efficient buildings, insulation and sustainable construction could transform India's energy use.As India's construction and infrastructure boom accelerates, Saint-Gobain is betting on better buildings, climate-resilient infrastructure and energy efficiency while planning to invest more than ₹10,000 crore in India over the next five years.In this episode of The Core Report Weekend Edition, Sreedhar explains why India needs to rethink how homes, offices, airports, roads and other infrastructure are built. He discusses how insulation, gypsum, glass, mineral wool and construction chemicals can improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort, durability and safety.Saint-Gobain says some new-construction use cases have demonstrated energy bill reductions of up to 40%. Sreedhar also argues that wider use of insulation could significantly reduce energy demand in Indian buildings.The conversation explores the economics of sustainable construction, why poor waterproofing and corrosion can shorten the life of buildings and infrastructure, and how better materials could make India's cities more resilient to heat, flooding and extreme weather.Govindraj and Sreedhar also discuss Saint-Gobain's 82 manufacturing plants in India, its expansion into construction chemicals and infrastructure solutions, and the growing role India could play as a manufacturing and export base for Asia Pacific, Australia and the Middle East.The discussion also looks at how Saint-Gobain has decentralised its global operations, reduced dependence on cross-border supply chains and adapted to a world shaped by tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty and shifting trade patterns.Can energy-efficient buildings help India cut electricity consumption? Why does insulation matter so much for Indian homes?

In 2016, Chris Bell, a ranger with New Zealand's Department of Conservation, was the sole human inhabitant of a small island off the west coast of the country, called Mana Island. He was there to take care of the island's fragile and recovering ecosystem, including a colony of Australasian Gannets at the top of a high cliff overlooking the sea. But there was one catch. All but one of these striking seabirds were fake, made of concrete and paint.  This week on Radiolab, producer Annie McEwen tells us a love story about a rogue bird and what happens when the things we want for animals clash with what they seem to choose for themselves.  Special thanks to Melody Thomas and Kirsten Johnstone from Popsock Media, the New Zealand-based podcast company.

Justin Goodrum, Matt Thomas, and Allan Muenzler are back with a packed episode of "In the Lab," covering a coaching legend's legacy, a WNBA season boiling over with controversy, and a fresh update on one of the NBA's biggest ongoing scandals. The guys open with some personal updates and a preview of upcoming interviews — including a 45-minute conversation with former "Around the Horn" host Tony Reali and ESPN college basketball commentator Sam Gore — before honoring the legacy of Don Nelson, who passed away recently. They break down Nelson's Hall of Fame coaching career, his all-time wins record, his pioneering "Nellie Ball" style that helped shape the modern guard-heavy NBA, his role in drafting Stephen Curry, and a broader conversation about whether today's shorter coaching leashes mean we'll ever see a tenure like his again. From there, the show dives into the WNBA's latest firestorm. The hosts break down the flagrant foul from Chicago Sky's DJ Carrington on Sophie Cunningham, the social media fallout that followed, and play Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White's raw, emotional press conference defending her team. They also cover the rescinded technical foul involving Caitlin Clark before shifting into a pointed, opinionated discussion of WNBA leadership — including reaction to Front Office Sports reporter Colin Salao's take on what the league needs in its next commissioner, a breakdown of the publicity stunt surrounding Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White's threats to enter the WNBA draft, and renewed discussion of the Paige Bueckers–Angel Reese betting clip the league's own social account briefly promoted. Worth noting: this segment includes the hosts' own strong, candid opinions on some politically charged storylines around the league this season — presented as their take, not a neutral breakdown. The episode wraps with a pivot to the NBA, where the crew reacts to Pablo Torre's continued reporting on the Kawhi Leonard–Clippers sponsorship investigation, debating what consequences could be coming for Leonard and owner Steve Ballmer. They close with shoutouts to rookie standout Olivia Miles and the Golden State Valkyries' historic first season.

Anna and Avery break down yesterday's total solar eclipse — a 182-mile-wide shadow that swept from the Arctic through Greenland and Iceland to northern Spain, giving millions of people up to 2 minutes 18 seconds of totality. Plus: astronomers find three supermassive black holes sharing one distant galaxy (two are about to merge), Virgin Galactic pushes commercial spaceflight back to February 2027, and Rocket Lab signs a new launch customer for Neutron even as the rocket's debut slips further.**Full show notes:**Today's episode — S05E166, Thursday August 13, 2026:**Main story: The August 12 total solar eclipse.** The Moon's shadow crossed the Arctic Ocean, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain, the Balearic Islands and out into the Mediterranean. Longest totality on land: 2 minutes 18 seconds at Látrabjarg, Iceland. Millions gathered across northern Spain, with the path also crossing A Coruña, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Valencia and Palma (Madrid and Barcelona were just outside the path). Observers reported seeing the solar corona, a prominence, and Jupiter, Mercury and Venus during totality. Spain gets another total eclipse on August 2, 2027.**Three supermassive black holes, one galaxy.** Astronomers led by Hannah Übler (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics) used JWST to confirm three actively feeding supermassive black holes in galaxy J0148-4214, 12.5 billion light-years away — the first such triple system ever confirmed. Two of the three are on course to merge.**Virgin Galactic delays commercial flights to 2027.** The company's upgraded Delta-class spaceplane will now begin commercial service in February 2027, pushed back from Q4 2026, to complete avionics and systems installation.

Advanced R&D Architecture: Eliminating Bioavailability Bottlenecks and Scaling Product Formulation with Vardan Ter-AntonyanIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Vardan Ter-Antonyan, Founder and Managing Principal of Ter-Antonyan Consulting LLC, to examine the complex technical hurdles and scaling friction that routinely derail product development across the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dietary supplement, and functional food sectors. Vardan, an international R&D consultant, formulation scientist, and operational strategist, details how life sciences and consumer packaged goods enterprises can overcome low ingredient solubility and commercial manufacturing bottlenecks. This conversation provides a comprehensive, technical guide for R&D directors, technical founders, and operations leaders looking to deploy advanced drug delivery systems, improve product bioavailability, and leverage Lean Six Sigma methodologies to accelerate time-to-market.The Advanced Delivery Architecture: Deploying Nanotechnology and Streamlining Scale-Up ManufacturingThe primary technical bottleneck stalling the commercial viability of modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations is poor water solubility among active lipophilic compounds, which frequently results in minimal gastrointestinal absorption and wasted active ingredients. Vardan Ter-Antonyan explains that when a technical team relies on conventional formulation methods for oil-based actives, bioavailability can drop to single-digit percentages, eroding consumer efficacy and inflating raw material expenses. To overcome these absorption limits, forward-thinking R&D teams must deploy advanced nanotechnology platforms—such as self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), liposomal encapsulation, and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes—to dramatically increase active surface area. Incorporating controlled-release technologies like hydrogels or multi-layer tablet matrices further optimizes therapeutic delivery, giving brands a distinct, scientifically validated edge in competitive consumer markets.Translating complex laboratory formulations into predictable, large-scale commercial manufacturing requires a disciplined bridge between technical R&D and operational execution. Many emerging startups and mid-market product brands encounter severe scale-up failures because early-stage formulation choices fail to account for commercial equipment tolerances, raw material variations, or regulatory compliance standards. Applying Lean Six Sigma principles and root-cause analysis allows technical leaders to map every step of the manufacturing pipeline, systematically eliminate operational waste, and standardize production variables before committing capital to full-scale runs. This data-driven, engineering-first approach prevents costly batch rejections, shortens regulatory review timelines, and ensures that innovative formulations maintain their integrity during high-volume production.Furthermore, sustaining long-term innovation in highly regulated CPG and health sectors demands an agile executive mindset that balances rigorous scientific discipline with operational flexibility. Technical founders must avoid spreading critical R&D resources across unproven initiatives, choosing instead to prioritize high-yield projects like functional beverages, dissolvable powders, or oral pouches that solve clear consumer pain points. Drawing parallels to high-altitude mountaineering, technical leadership requires endurance, clear risk assessment, and the strategic agility to adjust formulation roadmaps when real-world production data demands a pivot. When cutting-edge delivery science, Lean Six Sigma operational controls, and clear portfolio prioritization are synthesized into a single R&D architecture, an enterprise eliminates technical bottlenecks, safeguards its margins, and predictably expands its market equity.About Vardan Ter-AntonyanVardan Ter-Antonyan is the Founder and Managing Principal of Ter-Antonyan Consulting LLC, a prominent formulation scientist, and a global operations strategist with over two decades of cross-industry experience. Specializing in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, medical devices, and cannabis, Vardan helps technical teams solve complex bioavailability challenges and scale manufacturing processes. He is the author of The C-Suite Bible, host of his own industry podcast, and an expert consultant dedicated to eliminating technical bottlenecks for emerging and established product brands.About Ter-Antonyan Consulting LLCTer-Antonyan Consulting LLC is an elite technical advisory firm and operational consultancy engineered to help life sciences, CPG, and supplement companies accelerate product development and scale manufacturing.

Cold Cases and Hurricanes—The Inspiration Behind A DEATH IN THE DELUGE with Author Brian Thiem Detective Sean Tanner moved to Spartina Island to enjoy the retired life, but when he gets the opportunity to help solve a cold case, he's all in. When a mother is found dead in her kitchen and her teenage daughter goes missing, Sean teams up with Sergeant Charlotte “Charlie” Nash to solve the case and find the teen. They soon realize this case links to a fourteen year old murder and abduction. As they get closer to the truth, it's hard to tell what's more dangerous…a Category 3 hurricane or a ruthless killer. I enjoyed this fascinating interview with author Brian Thiem about his career in law enforcement and real life cold case work. We also had fun discussing Brian's yellow Lab, Annie, Tonkinese Cat, Lexi and how they inspired the four-legged characters in A DEATH IN THE DELUGE.

With the Trump administration's newest political persecution of Anthony Fauci and three years after our first lab-leak special, now seemed like a useful time to return to the topic. Fortunately, you do not have to rely on our knowledge of viruses, as we have somehow managed to convince the same three esteemed virologists, Eddie Holmes, Kristian Andersen and Michael Worobey, to come back for an update.Mike, Kristian and Eddie return and offer us their read on where the scientific evidence on COVID's origins stands in 2026. They take us through the main lines of evidence and the often overlooked role of the wildlife trade, explaining why the lab-leak story remains so appealing, and how their own assessments have shifted as more evidence has emerged. We also discuss the standard claim that the media suppressed the lab-leak narrative while noting that coverage across both alternative and mainstream outlets remains heavily skewed towards it (and almost entirely detached from the research literature).Finally, we end on a characteristically positive note by discussing the Trump administration's attacks on science and the ongoing campaigns against high-profile scientists and public health figures. Our guests describe their experience of committing the heinous offence of following the scientific evidence and arriving at conclusions that contradict the preferred views of polemical politicians and prominent media pundits.In short, this episode is our modest attempt to drag the topic back towards the science, while also focusing on the price paid by the people who actually conduct the research and care about the evidence. We are not neutral when it comes to the ongoing attacks on science and scientists and do not pretend to be.

As Paul discipled the Corinthian church, he never intended to be their celebrity pastor. He aimed at something far greater: preaching a powerful cross.

It was the early '80s, the height of the Cold War, when something strange began happening off the coast of Sweden. The navy reported a mysterious sound deep below the surface of the ocean. Again, and again, and again they would hear it near their secret military bases, in their harbors, and up and down the Swedish coastline. After thorough analysis the navy was certain. The sound was an invasion into their waters, an act of war, the opening salvos of a possible nuclear annihilation. Or was it? Today, Annie McEwen pulls us down into a deep-sea mystery, one of international intrigue that asks you to consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, your deepest beliefs could be as solid as...air.

Leadership in construction is lonely. The 2 a.m. gut-check calls. The mistakes nobody at the office needs to know about. The moments where "fake it till you make it" stops working and you just need someone who gets it.This episode, Jesse opens the door to something new: the Construction Leadership Lab: a peer community built for leaders who are done pretending they have it all figured out.This isn't a networking group. It isn't a highlight reel. It's a room for GCs, subs, owners reps, coaches, and service providers across the U.S. and Canada who are ready to trade the polished version of leadership for the real one.What's inside:Monthly live calls — recorded and shared as a members-only podcast, so nobody misses a sessionFishbowl coaching — bring real problems, get real input, leave with a real commitmentBook study — one book every three months, discussed as a group, not just read aloneSelfish Servant Cheat Sheets — a weekly newsletter built to make leadership stickThe Vault — templates and checklists ready to use on the job, not just in theoryThree rules keep the room honest: be generous, be fearless, be cool. Ask how people want to be treated. Be more interested than interesting. Know when to pass the mic.If leadership in construction has ever cost you sleep, this is the group built for that.Listen now.

When Paul looked back on his work of establishing the Corinthian church, he thanked God for keeping him from baptizing too many believers. Why?

Most productivity advice operates in one of two categories: you're missing a skill or system, or you have a mindset problem. Cat Mulvihill thinks both camps are right — and both are incomplete. There's a third category that almost nobody is talking about, and she argues it's the one most likely to be the actual culprit when you're stuck. My guest this week is Cat Mulvihill, a speaker, trainer, accountability coach, and licensed Immunity to Change facilitator who has been leading workshops for more than 20 years. After being formally diagnosed with ADHD in 2024, she developed the Momentum Formula — a framework separating the reasons we fail to follow through into three distinct categories: logical, biological, and psychological. Cat is a longtime Lab member and led the second-highest-rated session at this year's Lab Offline event in Boise. In this episode, we talk about: The three roadblocks to follow-through — and why the biological one is the category almost everyone overlooks How to diagnose which roadblock is actually keeping you stuck, and why the order you check them matters The “dreaded identity” — the hidden, subconscious version of yourself you're afraid of becoming — and how it quietly kills follow-through Why knowing your tendency from Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies framework changes which accountability strategies actually work for you By the end of this episode, you will have a concrete diagnostic framework for understanding why you're not doing the things you know you should be doing — and what to try first.

“It's mine” sounds simple, but it's one of the hardest cultural beliefs to live out when things break at 2 a.m. We dig into the ownership mindset that separates teams who pass problems around from teams who step in, stay engaged, and protect the outcome customers actually care about. For anyone working in industrial manufacturing, maintenance, plant operations, procurement, or an electrical distributor environment, this is the kind of leadership behavior that shows up when the situation is inconvenient and the clock is ticking.We talk through what personal ownership really means: seeing a gap and choosing not to assume someone else will handle it, even when it stretches beyond a job description. You'll hear real-world examples of closing handoff gaps, supporting customers under pressure, and doing more than providing a component by bringing the right resources together. We also draw a bright line between acting fast and acting recklessly, because ownership includes sound judgment, escalation when needed, and communication that reduces stress for plant managers, engineers, and buyers.The second half of the belief is the question that turns accountability into a habit: “What else can I do?” We connect that question to technical learning, understanding customer operations, and preventing repeat issues through better processes, documentation, and teamwork. After 100 years of serving customers, the message holds: trust is earned through consistency and follow-through, and it's a competitive advantage in a world of complex systems and shrinking technical resources.If this resonates, subscribe, share the show with someone in manufacturing, and leave a rating and review so more people can find it.

In the face of church factions, Paul exhorts members of Christ's body to focus on the unique work Jesus has done through his death and resurrection.

When no one seems to be listening, how far do you go to be heard? In December 2008, George W. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad for a press conference. And at the very end of his remarks, a shoe came flying past his head.  It was “the shoe heard around the world,” and countless jokes and memes ensued.  But in the pandemonium, many missed the story of the man at the center: Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, a weary journalist trying to get the world to see the Iraq War in a different light. Even fewer people know what happened to him after.  Nearly two decades later, Radiolab reporter Sarah Qari tracked Al-Zaidi down to learn the story of his life. What she found was a story about grief, anger, and the line where journalism ends and protest begins. Special thanks to Azmat Khan and Mustafa Salim.

Several years ago, in 2016, we told a story about Amy Pearl. For as long as she could remember, Amy loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn't tolerate it.  No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense: why couldn't she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades?  It turned out Amy was not alone. And the answer to her mysterious allergy involved maps, a dancing lone star tick, and a very particular sugar called Alpha Gal.  In this update, we discover that our troubles with Alpha Gal go way beyond food. We go to NYU Langone Health hospital to see the second ever transplant of a kidney from a pig into a human, talk to some people at Revivicor, the company that bred the pig in question, and go back to Amy to find out what she thinks about this brave new world. The original episode was reported by Latif Nasser, and produced by Annie McEwen and Matt Kielty. Sound design and scoring from Dylan Keefe, Annie McEwen, and Matt Kielty. Mix by Dylan Keefe with Arianne Wack. The update was reported and produced by Sarah Qari. It was sound designed, scored, and mixed by Jeremy Bloom. LATERAL CUTS: How does a tick bit can cause a red meat allergy? - An episode from our friends over at Science Friday, who had a recent conversation with the researcher who discovered the connection, decades ago.   Support Radiolab by becoming a member today at Radiolab.org/donate.    Sign up for our newsletter!!

In an episode we first ran back in 2014, we explore how a sunken nuclear submarine, a crazy billionaire, and a mechanical claw gave birth to a phrase that has hounded journalists and lawyers for 40 years and embodies the tension between the public's desire for transparency and the government's need to keep secrets.   Whether it comes from government spokespeople or celebrity publicists, the phrase “can neither confirm nor deny” is the perfect non-denial denial. It's such a perfect deflection that it seems like it's been around forever, but reporter Julia Barton takes us back to the 1970s and the surprising origin story of what's now known as a “Glomar Response.” With help from David Sharp and Walt Logan, we tell the story of a clandestine CIA operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine from the ocean floor and the dilemma they faced when the world found out about it. It's an episode we first released in 2014, but given some things in the news recently, it resonated with us again. In the 40 years since that operation, the Glomar Response has become boilerplate language from an array of government agencies. With help from ProPublica editor Jeff Larson and NPR's Dina Temple-Raston, we explore the implications of this ultimate information dodge. ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer explains how it stymies oversight, and we learn that, even 40 years later, governmental secrecy can be emotionally painful. More information about Glomar: After 40 years, many of the details of Project Azorian are only now coming to light. The US government's default position has been to keep as much of it classified as possible. It took three years for retired CIA employee David Sharp to get permission to publish his account of Project Azorian. And FOIA played an indirect role in that, as Cold War historians got the CIA to release, in redacted form, an internal history of the mission. After that and a threat of legal action, Sharp was finally able to publish his manuscript in 2012. We mentioned conspiracy theories that have swirled around Project Azorian filling the void where official silence has reigned. One of them is promulgated in the 2005 book “Red Star Rogue” by Kenneth Sewell and Clint Richmond. They posit that the K-129 was taken over by rogue Stalinist KGB agents in order to start a nuclear conflict. But the conflict was to be between the US and China, as, according to the authors, the sub had powers to disguise its sonic signature as a Chinese Navy vessel. This book is the basis of the 2013 drama “Phantom,” which features Ed Harris and David Duchovny as Soviet military officers who sip vodka in a very un-Russian way. Russian Naval historians, like Nikolai Cherkashin, are not only insulted by this take on the cause of the K-129's demise, they say the true cause is much easier to pinpoint: They say an American vessel, possibly the USS Swordfish, collided with the Soviet submarine. Despite the fact that the US government has turned over many documents about Project Azorian and what it found to the Russian government, many in the Russian Navy stand by their theory that it was far too easy for the US to locate the K-129 on the bottom of the Pacific, given the technology of the time. According to these theories, Project Azorian was nothing more than an elaborate cover-up disguised as ... an elaborate cover-up. We can neither confirm nor deny that we exactly understand how that would have worked in practice or execution. It's one of the more solemn moments of the Cold War, and one that the Glomar Response helped keep a secret for a very long time.LATERAL CUTS:What Lies Beneath (https://radiolab.org/podcast/what-lies-beneath)  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Julia Barton Sign up for our newsletter!!
