Sometimes saying “yes” too much can really take a toll on you. In this episode, Jill chats with Dr. Sunita Sah, a bestselling author and Cornell professor, about her book Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes. They break down how constant compliance can affect your emotions, mind, and body, and share strategies for recognizing when it's time to push back. Sunita introduces the concept of a ‘Defiance Compass' to help guide people in acting according to their values. You'll also learn about the difference between going along with something and truly giving consent, how anxiety can arise in difficult situations, and why practicing small acts of defiance can prepare you for bigger, high-stakes moments. Listen and Learn: How can redefining "defiance" from a negative act of resistance to an alignment with true values help us better understand the balance between compliance, consent, and social pressure?Why is defiance better understood as a staged process on a continuum rather than a simple yes/no choice, and how does recognizing tension help us navigate compliance?Distinguishing between true expert intuition and bias-driven gut feelings when making decisions in uncertain situationsWhy is it so difficult for people to resist compliance and obedience in high-pressure situations, and how can practicing defiance help us prepare to say no and prevent harm?How can we recognize the difference between true consent and mere compliance, and what essential elements are needed to ensure a genuine "yes"?Navigating situations where we technically have the freedom to say no, but psychological pressures like insinuation anxiety or fear of consequences make it difficult to speak upHow do insinuation anxiety and the sales pitch effect interact to increase pressure to comply, even when consent is technically present?Overcoming the tension and fear of non-compliance to act in alignment with our values using tools like the Defiance CompassHow you can practice defiance as a skillResources:Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593445778Sunita's Website: https://www.sunitasah.com/Connect with Sunita on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/drsunitasahhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drsunitasah/https://www.tiktok.com/@drsunitasah About Sunita SahDr. Sunita Sah is a national bestselling author, an award-winning professor at Cornell University, and an expert in organizational psychology.

As Southern California wonders if water scarcity could ever spiral into a “Day Zero” crisis, the region stands at a crossroads for securing its water future. In this episode of In The Newsroom, Ian James, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, dives into the critical decisions shaping the region's water portfolio. With half its supply imported from vulnerable sources like the Colorado River, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and Sierra Nevada snowpack, Southern California faces growing risks from climate-driven aridification and reduced snowmelt. The region is evaluating massive wastewater recycling projects, like Pure Water Southern California, to bolster local supplies. The $20 billion Delta Conveyance Project, a proposed 45-mile tunnel, aims to secure water from the Sacramento River but sparks debate over environmental impacts on the Delta's ecosystem. A hyper-focus on conservation and efficiency, backed by the Pacific Institute's 2022 Untapped Potential report, highlights water-saving potential through native landscaping and upgraded appliances. Capturing stormwater in the LA River and other waterways offers another innovative solution to diversify and strengthen the region's water resilience. These efforts to diversify water sources today should position Southern California to avoid running out of water in the future.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for water sustainability.

Throughout the 1970s, Southern California residents were held in the grip of terror as multiple serial killers stalked the streets, preying on victims from every walk of life, including the area's gay community. From 1971 to 1983, Randy Kraft kidnapped, tortured, and murdered at least sixteen men and boys, but the real number of victims is believed to be considerably higher. When he was arrested in 1983, investigators searched Kraft's home and found a list with cryptic references to what they believed were sixty-one victims in total. The discovery of that list led the press to dub Kraft “The Scorecard Killer.”Following his arrest in 1983, Randy Kraft was tried and convicted of sixteen counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Although the arrest and trial put an end to Kraft's murder spree, several critical questions remain unanswered, including the most important aspect of the case detectives were never able to solve: who was Randy Kraft's accomplice?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesArnold, Roxane, and Jerry Hicks. 1983.

Whether you've known Him for years or you're just beginning to explore who He is, this conversation will inspire you to walk with God in fresh, life-giving ways.Bio:Margaret Feinberg, one of America's most beloved Bible teachers, speaks at churches and conferences and hosts the popular podcast The Joycast.

Send us a textKaila Yu is a Los Angeles–based luxury travel and culture journalist whose bylines include The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and more. Before her journalism career, she was an actress, an import model, the lead singer of the rock band Nylon Pink, and a student at UCLA. Each chapter of her life, as she shares in her upcoming memoir Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty (Crown, releasing August 19, 2025), was deeply marked by fetishization—often by others, but painfully, at times, by herself.In her memoir, Kaila traces how growing up in the late '90s and early 2000s with limited and hypersexualized Asian female representation shaped her identity. Without authentic role models in media, she learned early that being seen often meant being objectified. She leaned into visibility through modeling, music, and entertainment, but struggled with constant performance—writing overtly sexual lyrics, undergoing body-altering surgeries, and living through years of haze and internal disconnection.Fetishized boldly dismantles the narratives media, culture, and history have forced onto Asian American women. Kaila writes with raw honesty about coercion, trauma, and pain—including being manipulated by a pornographer and having the footage distributed without her consent. She weaves these personal stories with cultural critique, referencing everything from the War Bride Act of 1945 to the myth of the “submissive Asian woman,” and how tropes like these continue to impact real lives. Her writing is both personal and political—an act of truth-telling, resistance, and healing.Now, as she nears publication of her debut book, Kaila is stepping into long-form storytelling with courage and clarity. Her goal: to provide strength and education for others who have experienced similar objectification, and to invite everyone—especially Asian American women—into a deeper understanding of their worth. Through her journalism, her art, and her voice, Kaila Yu is fighting for a world where visibility isn't conditional on being fetishized.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Bad Bunny's massive Puerto Rico residency is the week's headline. WPLG Local 10 reports he's midway through his 30-show “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” run at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, drawing 18,000 per night and projected to inject roughly $200 million into the island's economy, from hotels and restaurants to small venues near the arena, according to local entrepreneurs and Puerto Rico's governor Jenniffer González Colón encouraging visitors to “come, enjoy the concert, enjoy the island.” WPLG Local 10 and Local10.com both highlight how the residency is reshaping summer tourism and local business momentum around the Coliseo.There was also tragic news tied to the influx. The Los Angeles Times reports a 25-year-old visitor from New York, in Puerto Rico for the residency, was fatally shot early Sunday in La Perla; police say he was an innocent bystander and two locals were also wounded. KSAT corroborates details from police that the incident occurred after an argument at a La Perla nightspot and that the victim's friends had traveled for one of the 30 shows.On the cultural front around the residency, the Los Angeles Times' De Los coverage shows how the moment is sparking art and community action. Local artists, with advocacy group Mijente and collective AgitArte, launched the “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca” exhibition in Santurce, explicitly in conversation with Bad Bunny's album Debí Tirar Más Fotos and the residency's title, framing it as a statement against displacement and for cultural sovereignty. The piece also notes AgitArte's Papel Machete contributed the giant puppet seen in the “La Mudanza” video, tightening the feedback loop between the music, visuals, and on-the-ground art-making during show weeks.Social media keeps feeding the residency's pop-culture gravity. The Washington Post's Instagram highlighted that Bad Bunny opened the run in July with initial dates reserved for Puerto Rico residents, underscoring the hometown-first approach to access. An Instagram post circulating this weekend shows Bad Bunny spotted in Puerto Rico alongside Austin Butler and director Darren Aronofsky, a reminder that the residency is doubling as a magnet for international creatives visiting the island.For listeners tracking the music arc that's powering this summer, Wikipedia's Debí Tirar Más Fotos entry outlines the January 5 album drop, a string of videos through July, and the May announcement of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour starting in November across Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. Wikipedia's Bad Bunny page further notes a July 14 single, “Alambre Púa,” extending the album's life into the residency window, and places the 30-date San Juan run from early July to mid-September with the first nine dates exclusive to locals. NPR's Tiny Desk performance from April sits upstream of this residency, seeding the live band identity listeners are now seeing scaled up at the Coliseo.A quick pulse check on the business and audience impact: Local 10's reporting emphasizes spillover to neighborhood venues near the arena and portrays San Juan as a summer destination anchored by the shows. The Los Angeles Times' community angles suggest the residency is as much a cultural ground game as it is a concert series, inviting visitors to engage beyond the arena while also surfacing the island's ongoing debates over gentrification and self-determination. The shooting in La Perla underscores the safety context visitors are navigating as crowds swell around nightlife hotspots during show weeks, according to police accounts reported by the Los Angeles Times and KSAT.Thanks for tuning in.

Read the full transcript here. What does autism feel like from the inside? Do autistic people lack empathy? What is context insensitivity? What are some ways special interests can manifest in autistic people? What are some less common ways stimming can manifest? What are the main components of autism? Can you be diagnosed with autism if you meet all the diagnostic criteria but didn't have any symptoms in childhood? Is autism only a problem in relation to neurotypical people? Is there a link between IQ and autism? What does the DSM fail to capture about autism? Is there some underlying commonality among all the seemingly disparate symptoms of autism? How have the label and diagnosis changed as the field of psychology has grown and improved? Thinking about autism as a spectrum is better than thinking about it as a binary, but is there an even better way to think about it? How does gender intersect with autism? How does ADHD intersect with autism? How valid is self-diagnosis? How can you better interact with autistic people in your life? What should you do if you think you might have autism?Dr. Megan Anna Neff is a clinical psychologist, author, and founder of Neurodivergent Insights.

In this week's episode of then & now, LCHP Assistant Director Dr. Rose Campbell is joined by historian Dr. Neil J. Young to examine the evolution and ongoing influence of conservative Christian family values in contemporary U.S. political discourse. Neil offers a nuanced account of how ideals such as monogamy, cisgender heterosexual marriage, and rigid gender roles within a patriarchal framework became central both to conservative grassroots activism and to the ideological messaging of the Trump presidency and its supporters.Drawing on the intersecting histories of religious and political movements in modern America, Neil traces the crystallization of the so-called “Christian nation” narrative to the Cold War era and the emergence of the ecumenical movement, a collective effort by various denominations toward unity and social engagement. Despite the ecumenical movement's intended progressivism, it inadvertently prompted conservative backlash, resulting in a “religious right” coalition. Looking ahead, Neil notes increased uncertainty regarding the durability of the Trump-evangelical coalition. As the Trump campaign intensifies its deployment of culture war rhetoric—framing contemporary politics as an existential struggle to preserve embattled Christian values—the question remains whether these strategies will sustain coalition cohesion, or whether shifting social and political dynamics will prompt fragmentation. Neil J. Young is an award-winning historian, writer, podcaster, and author of Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right (The University of Chicago Press, 2024). Neil holds an A.B. from Duke University and a Ph.D. in history from Columbia University. Neil formerly served as a contributing columnist for The Week and, before that, an opinion columnist for HuffPost. He writes frequently for leading publications, including the Washington Post, the Atlantic, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, Vox, Politico, Slate, and the New York Times.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 5, 2025 is: contentious • kun-TEN-shuss • adjective Contentious describes something that is likely to cause people to argue or disagree or that involves a lot of arguing. When used of a person, contentious describes someone likely or willing to argue. // I think it's wise to avoid such a contentious topic at a dinner party. // After a contentious debate, members of the committee finally voted to approve the funding. // The dispute involves one of the region's most contentious leaders. See the entry > Examples: “Next up will be Peter Shaffer's ‘Amadeus,' which opened in 1979 and won the Tony for best play in 1981 with Ian McKellen winning lead actor honors. ... The story is a fictional account of the contentious relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his rival, Antonio Salieri, the court composer of the Austrian emperor.” — Jessica Gelt, The Los Angeles Times, 12 June 2025 Did you know? If everyone has a bone to pick now and then, contentious types have entire skeletons. While English has plenty of words for people prone to fighting—combative and belligerent among them—contentious implies a fondness for arguing that others find particularly tedious or wearying. Thankfully, even the most contentious cranks and crabs among us have no cause to quibble over the history of the word contentious, as its origins are very clear: contentious comes (by way of Middle French) from the Latin adjective contentiōsus, meaning “persistent, obstinate, argumentative, or quarrelsome.”

Donovan X. Ramsey, author of When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era joins the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast to explore the relationship between the crack era and urban planning. The crack epidemic, more commonly known as the crack era, was the decade between 1985-1995 of high crack-cocaine use and distribution in U.S. cities and urban areas. The period birthed the “War on Drugs”, a series of laws that gave police permission to patrol and harass everyone in any neighborhood associated with the substance, created mandatory sentencing terms for drug-related offenses, punished users more severely than dealers, and did very little for substance abuse treatment for addicts. Popular media told the story of the crack epidemic through caricatures of “crackheads”, “crack babies”, and “super predators” to describe people, mostly Black people living in cities, impacted or associated with the substance. The Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast invited Donovan X. Ramsey to the show to discuss the complex relationships between the crack epidemic, the war on drugs, urban policy, and the Black lived experience. Together, Donovan and Jasmine, explore the synergy between the war on drugs and urban renewal, Hope IV, the Federal Highway Act, and other urban planning policies. Ramsey shares his thoughts on how America heals from the crack epidemic. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the lies, stereotypes, and misunderstandings about the crack epidemic to enlighten listeners and champion the voices of those forgotten due to their association with the substance: crack-cocaine. When Crack Was King: A People's History Of A Misunderstood Era is dedicated to “the misunderstood, the marginalized, and the maligned”. The goal of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast is “to empower and provide tools to overcome structural and institutional barriers”. Download the episode to hear how these two missions collide. And listen till the end for an exclusive on Ramsey's next project. The special guest for this episode is Donovan X. Ramsey, his full bio is written below: Donovan X. Ramsey is an indispensable voice on issues of identity, culture, and patterns of power in America. His reporting has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, GQ, WSJ Magazine, Ebony, and Essence, among other outlets. He has been a staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, NewsOne, and theGrio. He has served as an editor at The Marshall Project and Complex. Ramsey is the author of When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era, a work of narrative nonfiction exploring how Black America survived the crack epidemic for One World, an imprint of Random House, a division of Penguin Random House. He holds degrees from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Morehouse College.

EPISODE 99 -  “GRANT WITHERS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 8/04/25 The name GRANT WITHERS is usually met with blank stares and shrugs these days, but back in the late 1920s and 1930s, he was a much-in-demand leading man who capitalized on his boyish good looks, athletic, 6-foot-3-inch frame, natural charisma, and effortless acting ability. And as dynamic as his screen persona was, his personal life was just as juicy! From a scandalous elopement with LORETTA YOUNG when she was barley 17 to financial struggles, missing wives, court dates, and deeply rooted emotional issues, Withers was once a bright light who quickly fell from grace.

Most struggles with food and eating don't come with a diagnosis.After all we're taught since birth that wanting to lose weight and eat healthy is good thing…right?But what if it's not? What if the constant guilt, rules, and second-guessing aren't just “part of being a woman”—but signs of a deeper struggle that most people never name?This week, I'm joined by University of Texas journalism professor and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her memoir Slip—and the messy, quiet reality of disordered eating that lives in the space between full-blown illness and full recovery.Mallary shares what it was like to move from treatment for anorexia into what she calls the middle place:The part no one talks about.The part with fewer rules, but more doubt.Where you look fine… but don't always feel or behave fine.We get into:Why so many women are suffering without ever getting diagnosedThe way our culture normalizes disordered eating through “wellness"What support looks like when you're no longer acutely sickWhy food noise isn't always the problem—and what's really underneath itWhat true recovery looks like day to dayI am truly honored to have Mallary as a guest today and hope her story and this conversation help you feel seen and to know you aren't alone. This is truly a must listen for every woman who has ever been on a diet, felt guilty for eating something “bad,” hated how their body looked or knows a woman who has….so that's all of us

In early 1948, Los Angeles couples were terrorized by a series of robberies and car thefts committed by a criminal the press dubbed “The Red Light Bandit,” a reference to the red light he used to flag down his victims. Fortunately, the bandit's crime spree was quickly cut short when police arrested Caryl Chessman, a Los Angeles resident with a criminal history going back to his teen years.Chessman was charged with multiple counts of robbery, rape, grand theft, and because of an unusual interpretation of events, he was also charged with kidnapping. Due to the attachment of kidnapping, several of the charges were defined as a capital offense and Chessman was convicted and sentenced to death.In the years following his conviction, Chessman's death sentence became a source of considerable controversy—an already controversial sentence applied in a non-lethal case due to a bizarre application of the law. For ten years, Chessman fought the sentence all the way to the US Supreme Court, with support from a wide variety of sources, both notable and ordinary.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 28, 2025 is: facile • FASS-ul • adjective Facile is a formal adjective that is used disapprovingly to describe something that is too simple, or that doesn't show enough thought or effort. Facile can also be used for something done or achieved in a way that is considered too easy or that is easily accomplished or attained. It is sometimes used approvingly, however, for someone or something that works, moves, or performs well and very easily. // This problem requires more than just a facile solution. // After winning a facile victory over their archrivals, the team became the easy favorite to secure the championship. // The local author has received numerous plaudits for being a wonderfully facile writer. See the entry > Examples: “For a relatively straightforward hike, there's a lot to hold your interest here. The trail passes an archery range in its second half, at which point the colorful, mounted targets are visible through the trees, as are archers wielding bow and arrow. Walking under the great arches of the 1922 San Rafael Bridge and the 1914 La Loma Bridge adds a touch of drama to an otherwise facile and peaceful hike.” — Deborah Vankin, The Los Angeles Times, 23 June 2024 Did you know? If you've been fretting over how to use the word facile properly, we're here to put your mind at ease. The word's origins provide a major clue and are quite easy to trace: facile glided into English (via Anglo-French) from the Latin adjective facilis, meaning “easy, accommodating, nimble,” ultimately from facere, “to make, bring about, perform, do.” And indeed, facile can be used as a synonym for easy in some situations, though it is more formal and usually carries with it something extra—namely, excess. Something described as facile, such as an argument, is too easily made or done, as in “offered only facile answers to complex questions,” implying undue haste or shallowness. And facile tears are too easily produced by the person shedding them, suggesting they are lacking in sincerity. But although facile often bears a whiff of tut-tutting judgment, such is not always the case: it can be used positively to describe someone who is poised and assured, with an easy grace, as in “a facile lecturer.” Similarly, a writer whose words flow easily and fluidly on the page may be said to pen “facile prose.”
