Former CIA operative Nic McKinley exposes the reality of human trafficking in America—and how his organization, DeliverFund, is fighting back using intelligence-grade tools.In this episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick sits down with Nic to discuss his journey from elite U.S. Air Force Pararescueman to CIA operative, and now nonprofit founder leading the fight against exploitation and modern slavery.This is more than a conversation about trafficking. It's a masterclass in courage, discipline, and doing what's right when no one's watching.

Guests are way back. In this episode, I sit down with my best—Chase Lambin is a former professional baseball player who spent 15 years chasing the Big League dream, and now coaches in the Texas Rangers organization.Chase gives us an inside peak at life in professional baseball, including stories I've never heard before. His Tracy McGrady story alone makes this episode worth tuning in.We get into my favorite part of having a buddy who coaches future Major Leaguers—the emotional aspect of players getting called up to the Big Leagues. For me, seeing a text vid of a call-up is like looking into my stocking on Christmas morning. If you're not still doing that, might be time to upgrade your S/O (but that's for a future solo ep).Chase tells the story of their most recent call-up, Blaine Crim, who, incidentally, is my new favorite player.Funny how you get older and pull for the 27-year old call-up you have some Kevin Bacon connection to. But when you were 9, you'd have used that rookie's baseball card in your tire spokes. Well, I'm older now, and would sooner use a Topps Justin Verlander to give my 4-year old's balance bike the vroom sound.We also discuss Chase's approach to parenting, coaching and maintaining perspective. He shares insights from his book The Hitters Handbook, and reflects on lessons learned from coaches and teammates throughout his career.Re baseball, we cover everything from 12-year old travel ball to Corey Seager riling up the Rangers in the playoffs because he got excited about a homerun (which he doesn't do often).There's a reason Chase & I have remained the best of buds since we met in 1994. Episodes where I have him on keep getting better!But yeah, that's not the reason.I'll just tell you that having a 'bestie' you've known since 9th grade, and getting to broadcast some our conversations with you beautiful MFs, is one of my great joys in life. At least in part, because you've told me you enjoy them too.

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 5: Saltines and Silence – Life Inside While Facing Madeline Soto Murder Charges How does someone accused of murdering a child talk about saltine crackers and reading glasses as if nothing happened?

Beneath the surface, there are flickers of something deeper. Stephan mentions “regret” — though it's unclear whether it's for the crime, the consequences, or just being caught.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/adamconover Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!The American prison system isn't just designed to keep inmates locked up—it's built to keep the rest of us from truly seeing what happens inside. Rikers Island, New York City's largest jail, has long been notorious for its inhumane conditions, including mistreatment, sexual abuse, and inmates being held in solitary confinement for hundreds of days. But understanding the full extent of these horrors is nearly impossible without firsthand experience. Today, Adam speaks with David Campbell and Jarrod Shanahan—criminal justice reformers who were incarcerated at Rikers after protesting—about their time inside and their new book, City Time: On Being Sentenced to Rikers Island.

Host of Inside Edition, Deborah Norville, tells us how A.I. is bringing deceased family members back to life.

Few theatres in the world bring stories to like quite like Sight & Sound Theatre. Sight and Sound is known for its set, immersive storytelling, and larger than life productions. Glen Brodersen, Senior Technical Director of the Sight & Sound Theatre in Lancaster, says there are key differences between the locations in Lancaster, Pa and Branson, Mo. “So, the Lancaster location is actually our design and build primary locations or our story team. Most of our creatives work out of the Lancaster location. And then we share some of the build with our Branson location. They have a shop as well, and they would help build parts of our shows. But when we actually premiere a brand-new production, it premieres on the Lancaster stage and runs about a year. And then we transfer that show to our Branson location, about 60 tractor trailer trucks to move a show from one location to another. And the stages are almost identical. So, when we design a show for the Lancaster stage, we design it with the Branson stage in mind as well. So, when we tear that show down and put it on the other stage, it actually fits mostly correctly all the time.” It takes nearly 48 months for Sight & Sound to develop a new show concept to opening night. “So, two years of that is actually sitting and figuring out all the elements of the show and how they're going to impact the story. And then the other two years of that is actually building the physical sets and costumes and effects for a show. So about four years from when we have our first design meeting to when it actually hits the stage for the first time.” Listen to the podcast to hear more.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit is an HBO documentary about life inside an in-patient facility in Queens that specializes in helping people of college age who are in acute crisis. The filmmakers, Alexandra Shiva and Lindsay Megrue, introduce a variety of patients who have been through experiences such as suicide attempts or drug overdoses and they spotlight the unique care being administered. In-patient care has certainly been depicted often in movies and TV but this is one of few documentary approaches. Then, we're joined by Sarah Souder Johnson, a clinician at Sentier Psychotherapy in Saint Paul, Minnesota who offers therapy for rock bands. We talk about the challenges and rewards of that and what it can teach all of us about families and groups even if we're not a wicked guitar soloist.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
