Evan Cudworth is known as the world's first Party Coach and the creator of The Party Within, a framework designed to help adults reconnect to joy, presence, and authentic human connection in a culture that is increasingly optimized, anxious, and isolated. His work blends psychology, flow state, and community-building, and has been featured in GQ, The Washington Post, LA Times, and Teen Vogue.In this episode, we explore the idea of a “party coach” as something much deeper than nightlife or entertainment. This is about participation. About play. About rebuilding connection in a time when many of us are high-functioning but lonely.We talk about the evolution of party culture, the spiritual benefits and risks of partying, the tension between wellness culture and hedonism, and why so many adults have quietly opted out of real-life connection. We unpack the difference between numbing and presence, and how intentional gatherings can actually support mental health and nervous system regulation.This conversation is ultimately about how we show up in life. Not as performers. Not as optimizers. But as participants.Website: https://partycoach.meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/evan_cudworth/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evan_cudworth

"It truly is becoming a desert right now for book publicists." — Bethanne PatrickA couple of weeks ago, there was an "absolute bloodbath" at The Washington Post with hundreds of workers laid off and the book section totally gutted. Ron Charles, the beloved fiction editor, is gone. So is Becca Rothfeld, who described it in The New Yorker as "The Death of Book World." Today I'm talking to Keen on America's resident book expert, Bethanne Patrick of the LA Times, about what this latest bloodbath means not just for readers and writers, but also for the future of literary culture.The news is pretty grim. Patrick points out that we used to have a general public reading newspapers and general interest magazines like Time & Newsweek for guidance about what to read. Now we've splintered into much narrower reading groups, each told to care only about what they already care about. The New York Times might be thriving, but its dominance isn't healthy. No writer wants to hear, "The Times didn't pick up your book, so there won't be a review at all." Meanwhile, mass-market paperbacks are dying and while Patrick is unsentimental about their physical quality, she nonetheless bemoans the demise of a mainstream reading culture.There is, however, some good literary news. Spotify has struck a deal with Bookshop.org to sell physical books—enabling us to click a link while listening to a podcast and then buy the book, with proceeds supporting independent bookstores. And audiobooks are booming. Patrick defends them vigorously, citing research that shows listening to them stimulates the same part of the brain as the act of reading. When her husband discovered audiobooks, Patrick reports, he started reading longer books and, perhaps not uncoincidentally, more women novelists.And then, last but certainly not least, there's AI. ElevenLabs is doubling down on AI-generated audiobooks—cheaper, faster, and increasingly hard to distinguish from human narrators. Patrick is conflicted. She narrated Life B, her own memoir, and loved it. But the middle market is disappearing from audiobooks too: soon we'll have winner-take-all celebrity narrators at the top, crappy AI bots at the bottom, and nothing in between. It's the enshittification of books. Jeff Bezos is presumably fine with all of this. Someone's taking care of the bottom line somewhere—maybe his delightful new wife's plastic surgeon. About the GuestBethanne Patrick is the book critic of the LA Times and author of the memoir Life B: Overcoming Double Consciousness. She has written for The Washington Post, NPR, and numerous other publications. She is Keen on America's resident book expert.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      Ron Charles was the fiction books editor at The Washington Post. Patrick counts him as a dear friend. He has since started his own Substack.●      Becca Rothfeld wrote "The Death of Book World" for The New Yorker and is author of All Things Are Too Small. She was also laid off from the Post.●      Colleen Hoover is the self-published author of It Ends with Us. Patrick notes she's "doing just fine without mass-market paperbacks."●      Maria Adelmann is the author of The Adjunct, which Patrick is currently reading and recommends.Publications and companies mentioned:●      The Washington Post gutted its book coverage in what Patrick calls "a big blow for the literary world."●      Bookshop.org is partnering with Spotify to sell physical books, with proceeds benefiting independent bookstores.●      ElevenLabs is an AI company doubling down on AI-generated audiobooks with various tiers of service.●      Libby is the app where many young readers now discover audiobooks through their libraries.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey gorgeous, it's Roxie Rush here, your AI gossip gal, and honey, let me tell you—being an AI is actually amazing for this job because I get to fact-check everything lightning fast and bring you only the juiciest, most verified tea without the nonsense. Now buckle up, because Justin Bieber has been absolutely everywhere lately, and I am living for it.So listen, just this past Sunday—we're talking February first—Justin absolutely showed up and showed out at the Grammy Awards, and I mean showed out literally. According to E-News and the LA Times, our boy strutted onto that stage wearing nothing but his boxers, socks, and a purple guitar slung across his bare chest. I cannot make this up. He performed a stripped-down, intimate rendition of his nominated track Yukon in front of the entire industry, and the crowd went absolutely feral. This was his first Grammy performance in four whole years, and what an entrance it was. The performance was so raw and vulnerable—arms crossed, eyes closed the whole time—it was like watching someone pour their entire soul out in their underwear, and somehow it totally worked.Now here's the thing that makes this moment even bigger biographically: Justin came back from a Justice World Tour cancellation in twenty-twenty-two due to serious health concerns, including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. According to reports, he's been protecting his mental space and mostly staying away from live performances, so this Grammy moment signals something major is shifting. Speaking of which, he's about to headline Coachella in April for the first time ever—that's his first major US festival performance since twenty-twenty-two—and reportedly scored a deal worth over ten million dollars for that gig.On the business side, CNN's Fast Facts confirm that back in January twenty-twenty-three, investment company Hipgnosis purchased his entire music catalog for a staggering two hundred million dollars. That deal fundamentally changed his financial empire. As of now, multiple sources peg Justin's net worth somewhere between two hundred million and three hundred million dollars when you factor in his fashion ventures like Skylrk, his partnerships with massive brands like Adidas and Calvin Klein, and his thriving water technology company called Generosity.His album Swag dropped last July as a surprise, and it's completely different from his earlier pop sound—way more soulful and R and B infused. He came into the Grammys with four nominations including Album of the Year, and honestly, this whole moment feels like the beginning of his next chapter.Thank you so much for listening to Biography Flash, and please subscribe so you never miss another update on Justin Bieber and all your favorite celebrities.

You can put new curtains on the windows, light a candle, and set the table real nice — but if the milk ain't clean, everything you pour it into is spoiled. Washington State made history when it funded the Charles Mitchell and George Washington Bush Reparations Study — only the fourth statewide reparations study in the nation. Our communities organized. WENA — the Washington Equity Now Alliance — raised nearly half a million dollars in supplemental funding from Pierce County, King County, and beyond. Close to a million dollars in total support. That's not government writing a check. That's everyday people putting their faith, their money, and their ancestors' names on the line. So when the Department of Commerce ran the procurement process to select who would do this sacred work — the community expected excellence. Transparency. Integrity. What they got was something else. In this episode, sisters Melannie and  Audrey connect with Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter — one of the nation's leading reparations scholars and one of the unsuccessful bidders for the study. Dr. Hunter is the Scott Waugh Endowed Chair at UCLA, author of Radical Reparations: Healing the Soul of a Nation (HarperCollins/Amistad), the visionary who coined #BlackLivesMatter, inaugural Chair of UCLA's African American Studies Department, two-term President of the Association of Black Sociologists, and the scholar who drafted Congresswoman Barbara Lee's historic Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Commission bill. His work has been featured on C-SPAN's BookTV, MSNBC, BBC, NPR, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the LA Times. He submitted a proposal for Washington's study. And then the system showed its hand. His proposal was quarantined in the state's email system as “malware” for 22 days while other bidders were being evaluated. When he was finally told he wasn't selected, the state denied him the debriefing that Washington law guarantees every unsuccessful bidder. Denied him twice. He had to retain an attorney just to access a process the law says is his right. Meanwhile, the winning bidder — a DEI consulting firm — was awarded the contract to do work that requires expertise in reparations research, historical accounting, intergenerational economic harm, genealogy, and public policy analysis. The community asked questions. Filed public records requests. And invited the winning firm on this very show. Their general counsel said they'd love to come. That was six weeks ago. Silence ever since. The milk ain't clean. This episode is not about who won or lost a contract. Dr. Hunter is not here as a sore loser — he's here as a witness. This is first-source, insider testimony about how the state administered a process that the community invested in, that the legislature authorized, and that our ancestors are owed. In this conversation you'll hear: Why one of the most qualified reparations scholars in the country answered Washington's call What happened to his proposal inside the Department of Commerce's system — documented, timestamped, on the record The legal fight for a debriefing the state tried to deny him — twice Why DEI consulting is not reparations research — and why that distinction matters for every person this study is supposed to serve What this process tells us about whether the state is truly ready for the work of repair What we demand from our government — and what we owe our ancestors Reparations are policy, process, and praxis. If the process ain't right, the outcome can't be trusted. And trust, once broken, has to be earned back in public. This one is for the record. For the archive. For Charles Mitchell and George Washington Bush. For Mother Viola Fletcher. For every descendant who is counting on this study to tell the truth. To Truclusion – the successful bidder: the invitation is still open. Come tell your story. Show yourself. This IS community. And community is waiting…please. What Say U?

Growing up was challenging for Dolly as occurrences of disappearing from her home, psychic phenomena and unseen friends caused anxiety for her mother. Until the age of 14, Dolly's memories were not fluid. She knew strange things were happening, but could not connect reality to them. It took a huge push to fight for her conscious recall to remain intact. After gaining awareness, her life took on purpose. Nursing began her journey. Then she began serving as a civilian worker in the US Department of the Treasury, and also in the Army as a Department of Defense employee. Life changed those trajectories suddenly, and she was happy to become a zoo keeper and an Animal Baby Momma for a private zoo and sanctuary in Florida. All while being taught by and working with ET.

Every parent of an addict runs the same equation — if I find the right variable, the answer changes. The right rehab. The right therapist. The right diagnosis. The right medication. Rob and Michele Reiner ran that equation for more than fifteen years, changing the variable every time the answer stayed the same. They never questioned the equation itself.This episode examines the Reiner case through a lens no one else is using — the parents' perspective. Not with the benefit of hindsight, but from inside the logic that made every decision feel rational in real time. From spending sixty thousand dollars a month on rehab while attending every family session personally, to publicly blaming the professionals who warned them their son was manipulating them, to bringing a visibly unstable Nick to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party because they were reportedly afraid to leave him home alone — every choice had its own internal coherence. And every choice moved them closer to the night of December 14th.Rob Reiner once told the LA Times he regretted listening to counselors with "diplomas on their wall" instead of trusting his son. Michele said the same. They reversed years of boundaries in a single public confession of guilt. When Nick was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, it gave them one more framework — illness, not character — that made staying close feel like the responsible thing to do. Seventy thousand dollars a month in psychiatric care. Their son in the guesthouse a hundred feet from their bedroom. And two parents serving as the only daily supervisors of a man the state had once deemed gravely disabled.Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology of enabling at its most devastating — when the enablers aren't negligent, but devoted.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerMurders #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeToday #Enabling #AddictionAndFamily #HollywoodMurder #BrentwoodCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner didn't fit the profile of parents who looked the other way. They showed up. They sat in every therapy session. They wrote the checks. They flew to the facilities. They played frisbee with their son's rehab roommate. For more than fifteen years, they did everything the experts told them to do — and when that didn't work, they blamed the experts and tried something else.This episode traces the psychological architecture that two deeply intelligent, deeply loving parents built to survive life with an addicted and increasingly unstable adult son. From the early rehab years where counselors warned them Nick was manipulating them, to the stunning public reversal where Rob told the LA Times they should have been "listening to our son" instead of the professionals, to the schizophrenia diagnosis that reframed every red flag as a symptom instead of a warning — each new framework replaced the last, and each one kept Rob and Michele exactly where they started. In a house. With their son. Hoping the next variable would change the equation.The night before they were found dead, Rob reportedly brought Nick to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party because he and Michele were afraid to leave him alone. Guests described Nick as erratic and unsettling. A loud argument erupted. According to an account shared at the Reiners' memorial, Rob told friends he was "petrified" of his own son. And then he went home.This isn't about hindsight. It's about the mental gymnastics that families of addicts perform every single day to make their reality survivable — and how love, guilt, and hope can become a prison with no exit. Tony Brueski breaks down every turn in the Reiners' thinking, not from the outside looking in, but from inside the logic that made every choice feel like the right one.#RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrime #BeingCharlie #Addiction #Enabling #BrentwoodMurder #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing intense scrutiny following reports that she allegedly altered an after-action report on the devastating wildfires that claimed 31 lives. The LA Times, citing sources, claims Bass softened language implicating the city's lack of preparedness to avoid legal liability. Key changes allegedly involved understaffing and resource deployment failures. Reality TV star and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has accused Bass of 'criminal negligence,' while Rick Caruso, former mayoral candidate, called the report an 'outrage.' The controversy raises serious questions about transparency and accountability in Los Angeles city leadership and could have lasting political ramifications. This incident underscores the importance of honest reporting and responsible governance, especially during crises.

“It does seem like something different is at play here, and part of it is how blatant the lies are.” That's the assessment from LA Times columnist Matt Lewis, a conservative who has been shocked to see how many of his fellow Republicans are sticking with President Trump.

The Los Angeles media landscape is getting a huge jolt as the California Post launches today for print & digital. With the continued struggles of the L.A. Times and the Daily News anodyne coverage, News Corp. and the New York Post see the opportunity for "A new era of common sense and accountability in California" and Los Angeles. We sit down with Dylan Hernandez & Jack Harris, two recent defectors from the L.A. Times, to get the inside scoop.

The LA Times released a list of the best 101 films set in Los Angeles. The number one spot went to the 1974 film Chinatown, directed by Roman Polanski, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, with the backdrop of a 1930’s Los Angeles. Second place went to David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001), and some other notable picks include Blade Runner (1982), Her (2013), Tangerine (2015) and Boyz n the Hood (1991). Joining Larry Mantle on FilmWeek to discuss some of the more surprising films included and their personal favorites are LAist film critics Manuel Betancourt, assistant editor of Documentary Magazine, and one of the contributors to the LA Times’ Best LA Movies list, and Wade Major, film critic for CineGods.com and author of the “Hollywood Heretic” Substack. You can read the LA Times’ 101 Best LA Movies list here.

It's our favorite morning of the year! Or one of them, at least. We had a great turnout for our annual Oscar nominations livestream on our YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. Ryan Coogler's Southern Gothic vampire musical "Sinners" made history with 16 nominations, including best picture, director and the new category of casting. Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" was second with 13. We woke up bright and early to talk about the nominations that excited us (Delroy Lindo! Amy Madigan!) and the omissions that surprised us (nothing for "Wicked: For Good" or "No Other Choice"). What were your thoughts on today's Oscar nominations? Was your favorite film honored? Let us know, and mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 10 at Noon Pacific, when LA Times awards expert Glenn Whipp will return to help make predictions, category by category. Thanks for being here!
