John Searles joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about his new novel, SINGLE GIRLS, a work of dramatic fiction set in the 1960s. It focuses on Helen Gurley Brown and the team of women she assembled who transformed Cosmopolitan into one of the best-selling magazines of all time. A Bookreporter Bets On selection, the book has been compared to "Mad Men" and "Sex and the City." John worked at Cosmopolitan and shares his encounters with Helen through the years. The novel is deeply informed by real events, Helen's memoirs, published biographies, and his personal knowledge of the editors who worked there. John had always wanted to write about Helen and had told her so during their friendship, but he had been constrained by publishing expectations to stay within his established genre: suspense/thrillers. The audiobook is narrated by his friend, Amy Ryan, who starred in the film adaptation of his earlier novel, STRANGE BUT TRUE. Carol worked at Mademoiselle, and during their conversation, she shares her background there and how she navigated her early career before leaving Condé Nast and starting The Book Report Network almost 30 years ago.

Eight months ago, Jason DeSouza got a second cell phone — one for work, one for family — and left the work phone in his car every night. That one decision changed how he leads his firm, shows up for his kids, and protects his joy in the practice of law. If you have been telling yourself you will set better boundaries when things slow down, this episode is your wake-up call.In Episode 432, Gary sits down with personal injury attorney Jason DeSouza, founder of DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas. Jason built his firm from scratch in 2015 after immigrating from Canada with no local network and no playbook. Today he leads a 30-person team focused on oilfield and serious injury cases in underserved South Texas communities — and nearly every new case comes from a former client referral. This is a conversation about law firm culture, intentional growth, and what it looks like to practice law on your own terms.Key Takeaways:Protect your personal life with a hard structural boundary — Jason's two-phone system costs nothing and works immediatelyDefine your version of success before your firm defines it for you — meaning and metrics are not the same thingStay small on purpose — a lean team means faster decisions, stronger culture, and deeper client relationshipsDelegate like Roger from Mad Men — stepping back from email and daily operations was Jason's single best leadership moveBuild third spaces outside the law — faith, family rituals, and non-lawyer friendships fill the gap that firm growth never willChoose your niche and own it — serving clients others overlook creates loyalty, clarity, and a referral engine that runs itselfJason DeSouza is the founder of DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas.

He built his practice from the ground up in 2015 after immigrating from Canada, driven by a conviction that injured workers in small South Texas towns deserve fierce, personal advocacy. Today his firm operates almost entirely on client referrals — a direct result of a culture built on trust and results. Jason is a husband, father of two, and a man of deep faith who brings the same intentionality to his family that he brings to the courtroom.You can find The Free Lawyer Assessment here- https://www.garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessmentWould you like to learn what it looks like to become a truly Free Lawyer?

On this week’s Mad Men Men, we dig into “Christmas Waltz.” That's right, it's a holiday episode about money trouble, emotional drift, and people looking for comfort in all the wrong places. But also, it’s one of Season 5’s strangest and saddest turning points. Because let's just say it gives several characters a version of the Christmas spirit they absolutely did not ask for. If you’re new here, Mad Men Men covers Mad Men from three angles. First, we have a first-time watcher (Will Ashton). Then, we have a first-time rewatcher (Mike Overhulse). Finally, we have the over-rewatcher (me, Jon Negroni). EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more. Our intro music is “Mad Men Men” by Tom Davidson, which is an original remix of the show’s opening theme “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. Our podcast hosts include Jon Negroni (Podcast Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of the Thank God For Movies podcast), and Michael Overhulse (a guy who’s addicted to working at startups). We’ll be back soon to discuss Season 5 Episode 11, titled “The Other Woman.” Subscribe to Mad Men Men on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever else podcasts are, ahem, advertised.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 that "the heart of Christendom is a heart" and in this episode, Joe and Grettelyn discover that this single line unlocks his entire approach to apologetics. Recording just before the U.S. bishops' historic consecration of America to the Sacred Heart on the nation's 250th anniversary, they trace the providential thread connecting two Pope Leos, a 1926 essay from GK's Weekly, and Chesterton's lifelong practice of winning opponents through friendship and wonder. In This Episode: How a 1926 essay in GK's Weekly reveals the theological principle behind G.K. Chesterton's entire method of winning hearts and minds What Chesterton's contrast of Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel teaches about "the softening of strength by chivalry and charity"—and what it means for how the Church evangelizes today Why G.K. Chesterton's observation that "madmen are logical" explains his insistence on appealing to beauty, wonder, and friendship rather than syllogisms How G.K. Chesterton's famous friendships with his opponents—and the characters of The Ball on the Cross—embody the theology of the Sacred Heart before he ever named it What Pope Leo XIII's 1899 encyclical Annum Sacrum reveals about the providential timing of the USCCB's consecration and the arrival of a new Pope Leo Chapters: 00:00: Introduction—The Sacred Heart and America at 250 02:29: The Providential Coincidence of Two Pope Leos 04:00: Background on the Sacred Heart Devotion 11:50: Why Consecrate a Nation? 13:57: Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical—What He Foretold About America 19:55: Reparations and the Burning Desire of Christ 23:22: What G.K.

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, political commentator Solly Moeng comments on President Cyril Ramaphosa's poor handling of the immigration (and other) crisis; the mysterious social media campaign to position Freedom Front Plus Minister of Correctional Services Pieter Groenewald as a future president; questions about the R30 million “donation” to Rise Mzansi, the party that has an MP chairing the Ramaphosa impeachment committee; unholy links between General Feroz Khan of Crime Intelligence and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema; 14 police officers suspended in relation to a tender linked to the politically connected Cat Matlala; and the failure to arrest alleged Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Morgan Maumela, the nephew by marriage of Ramaphosa. “...if you arrest the small guys and you let the big guys continue the games they're playing on all of us, then we're going to end up having the same conversations in a year's time…they should dig out everyone who's hiding in the crevices of this madness, take them into the public space and…hopefully the NPA this time will act without fear, favour or prejudice and go after everybody. Else, South Africans must vote…We need to place this country ahead of all these mad men and women in politics.”

Long before Pazuzu terrorized audiences in *The Exorcist*, this ancient Mesopotamian demon struck fear into the hearts of the Assyrians and Babylonians—both as a harbinger of destruction and an unlikely protector against even greater evils.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/pazuzuFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Exorcist is widely regarded as one of the most influential horror movies of all time. Even now, half a century after its release, it continues to terrify audiences, in large part due to its horrifying practical effects and iconic antagonist: Pazuzu. (Pazuzu, The Demon ‘The Exorcist' Made Famous) *** Latoya Ammons and her family claim to have experienced demonic possession that began when they moved into what became known as the “house of 200 demons” in 2011. (The Haunting on Carolina Street) *** In the eerie depths of 1920s Los Angeles, a sinister tale unfolded, shrouded in secrets and steeped in darkness. It all began with May Otis Blackburn and her daughter, Ruth, who claimed to receive divine revelations from the angels Gabriel and Michael. Thus emerged the enigmatic Blackburn Cult, a group entangled in a web of prophecies, tributes, and whispered mysteries. (The Blackburn Cult) *** 19th-century freak shows brought both the extraordinary and the macabre to captivated audiences far and wide. Among the peculiar spectacles of these exhibitions stood a man whose skeletal frame defied all norms of human anatomy… as his skeleton and skin appeared to be the only parts of his anatomy intact. (Seurat, The Living Skeleton) *** In the heat of summer in 2008, a mysterious creature washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, Long Island, sending shockwaves through the community. What began as a simple sighting by local resident soon exploded into a media frenzy, with wild theories and speculation running rampant. (Hot Montauk Summer) *** While epic Hollywood films often depict gladiators as men, the truth is far more captivating. We'll step into the arena with the women who dared to defy convention and enter the gladiatorial games.

Today, we welcome Jason Liebig to the show! Jason is a brand historian, packaging archivist, and former marketing exec at DC Comics and Warner Bros, and story exec at Marvel.

You may have seen him on the History Channel on The Food That Built America and The Mega-Brands That Built America, and now on Hazardous History alongside Henry Winkler. Jason tells us his origin story, how he started his collection, and how it grew from a hobby into a profession. He also brought a ton of items from his archive to show and tell. Jason's enthusiasm for brands is second to none; he's a one-of-a-kind guy and an encyclopedia of knowledge. We truly could have talked for another 3 hours, if not more!

Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo (who's now been called to testify before a state Senate panel investigating the now-defunct New Georgia Project) joined me to vent over the state of civil rights & marginalized voter rights in a post-'Callais' environment. Lauren spoke of the need for a "new civil rights movement." Well, that new coalition is assembling Saturday in Selma - first at the Edmun Pettis bridge - with nearly a hundred organizations gathering to re-invigorate a civil rights movement that's seen a century of gains almost entirely wiped away in the last sixteen months. - - - Make no mistake: this isn't just about silencing Black voters. There's also been the targeted effort to eviscerate the Black middle class - starting with DOGE disproportionately terminating Black women from career federal jobs that, for generations, had been a 'safe haven' of sorts from hiring bias & pay discrepancies. It's not enough they want to dilute a Black family's voting power; they'd also taken aim at a Black woman's purchasing power, too. - - - It's no wonder, then, why Southern-born, Southern-raised Bakari Sellers 'lost his cool' as the smug Kevin O'Leary insisted Black people need to simply "get over it." Personally, I think Bakari showed great restraint.- - - Lastly, having recently binged 'Mad Men' and being - as many of you are - engulfed in 'The Handmaids' Tale' and it's spin-off, 'The Testaments,' I feel like both franchises provide some insights into what MAGA is taking women and minority women back to, but also the sort of Dystopian dream world the conservative patriarchy seems more closely aligned to than the diverse, expressive nation they currently live in.
It's springtime, the sun is out, and the "BFFs" are back for a conversation that is as refreshing as the season. In this episode, Heather Pettey, CPC, and Dr. Carol Lynn dive into the "beauty treatments" of midlife—from the glamorous style of Mad Men to the practical (and often unspoken) medical solutions for bladder health. Whether you're curious about the "tampon trick" for exercise-induced leaking, wondering about the recovery time for a bladder sling, or just looking for a bargain on a new layered necklace set, this episode covers it all. Heather and Carol Lynn remind us that thriving in midlife means taking care of ourselves from the inside out—and maybe doing it in a very cute wide-leg jogger set. In This Episode, We Discuss: Pop Culture Pursuits: Why Dr. Carol Lynn is officially obsessed with Mad Men and the timeless "Betty Draper" aesthetic. Springtime Beauty Checklists: The duo's personal lists for the season, including laser hair removal, Botox timing, and the "au naturel" nail trend. The "Leaky Bladder" Conversation: Dr. Carol Lynn breaks down the difference between urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Medical Solutions for Midlife: * ThermiVa: An in-office, non-surgical treatment for vaginal dryness and bladder control. The Urethral Sling: What the "bladder tack" surgery actually is and what to expect during recovery. The Tampon Trick: A simple hack for women who experience leaking specifically during exercise. Midlife Fashion & Bargains: Heather shares her favorite "retro" wide-leg jogger set and Carol Lynn reveals a $15 layered necklace find.

In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn catch up after a brief hiatus to discuss what they've been watching during their downtime. From the high-society drama of The Madison to the cigarette-smoke-filled rooms of 1960s Mad Men, the BFFs dive deep into the nostalgia of the past and the "glitz and glam" they're craving today. They also swap "boy mom" stories about the unique challenges of middle school hygiene and share a few book-to-movie recommendations. In This Episode, We Discuss: Current TV Obsessions: * The Madison: Heather and Carol Lynn discuss the beautiful setting and the "ageless" Michelle Pfeiffer. Mad Men: Deep dive into the 1960s—the furniture, the fashion, and the shocking (by today's standards) cultural norms like littering and drinking at the office. The Love Story: The uncanny resemblance of the actor playing JFK Jr. and the fascination with Martha's Vineyard real estate prices from 1979. A Man on the Inside: Dr. Carol Lynn's recommendation featuring Ted Danson as a spy in a retirement community. The Nostalgia Factor: Why watching shows set in the 60s and 70s feels like a trip back to childhood, and Heather's attempt to introduce her kids to classics like Gilligan's Island and I Dream of Jeannie (with hilarious results). Life with Teenage Boys: The "Do Not Care Club" of middle school hygiene. From the struggle to get them to bathe to the overpowering scent of AXE body spray, the struggle is real! Book Talk: Heather shares her love for The Housemaid series by Freida McFadden and compares the reading experience to the film adaptation. Moxie Style: Why the older we get, the more we need sparkles, fringe, and feathers. Dr. Lynn reveals her latest "Megan from Mad Men" inspired purchase.

This week, the boys get all Tom & Huck and head to the Mississippi River to discuss Jeff Nichols' “Mud”. The random year generator spun 2013, and we decided to follow up our recent “Take Shelter” episode to see how Nichols handled the McConaissance. What we didn't expect was finding some of the best youth performances ever by Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland in a Stand-By-Me-Meets-Huckleberry-Finn narrative. We were a little split on our overall takeaways, but boy did we appreciate the journey. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

It's a safe bet that most of the secretaries on the TV series Mad Men would have attended the Katharine Gibbs School in New York City. The iconic institution was in its heyday in the 1950 and '60s synonymous with supplying secretaries—always properly attired in heels, ladylike hats, and white gloves—to male executives. In Expect Great Things! Vanda Krefft turns the notion of a “Gibbs girl” on its head, showing us that while the school was getting women who could type 90 words per minute into the C-suite, its more subversive mission was to get them out of the secretarial pool to assume positions of power on the other side of the desk. And Gibbs graduates did just that, tackling the sexism of the era and paving the way for 21st-century women to succeed in any profession.Katharine Gibbs was one her own success stories. She started her school when, as a 46-year-old widow, she was left near-broke with two young sons. The school taught typing and stenography but Gibbs also hired accomplished professors from elite colleges to teach academic subjects—it was a well-rounded education that produced early feminists ready to tackle the sexism of their era. "Expect great things!" was her motto and her philosophy. Within a decade she'd opened schools in three elegant locations.

It's a safe bet that most of the secretaries on the TV series Mad Men would have attended the Katharine Gibbs School in New York City. The iconic institution was in its heyday in the 1950 and '60s synonymous with supplying secretaries—always properly attired in heels, ladylike hats, and white gloves—to male executives. In Expect Great Things! Vanda Krefft turns the notion of a “Gibbs girl” on its head, showing us that while the school was getting women who could type 90 words per minute into the C-suite, its more subversive mission was to get them out of the secretarial pool to assume positions of power on the other side of the desk. And Gibbs graduates did just that, tackling the sexism of the era and paving the way for 21st-century women to succeed in any profession.Katharine Gibbs was one her own success stories. She started her school when, as a 46-year-old widow, she was left near-broke with two young sons. The school taught typing and stenography but Gibbs also hired accomplished professors from elite colleges to teach academic subjects—it was a well-rounded education that produced early feminists ready to tackle the sexism of their era. "Expect great things!" was her motto and her philosophy. Within a decade she'd opened schools in three elegant locations.

This week, the boys teleport back to 1986, when Jeff Goldblum was awkward yet ripped and writing was weird, especially for women. Only our second David Cronenberg after “Crimes of the Future”, we dive into “The Fly”: the tropey writing, the B-movie plot outline done at an A-list scale with top-notch hair and makeup, and why we all walked away with different ratings for the movie.

What kind of person helps build a regime like the Third Reich? A monster? A madman? Or something far more unsettling? Michael Shermer sits down with author Jack El-Hai to talk about the true story behind Nuremberg. At the center is Dr. Douglas Kelley, the American psychiatrist assigned to evaluate the top Nazi defendants after World War II, including Hermann Göring. What he found was not comforting: many of these men were intelligent, ambitious, psychologically functional, and disturbingly normal. This conversation gets into the strange duel between Kelley and Göring, the psychological testing at Nuremberg, the limits of psychiatry, the difference between leaders and followers, and the question that still won't go away: how do power-hungry people rise and do evil, and why do so many others go along with them? Jack El-Hai is an author and journalist whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, Smithsonian, GQ, Wired, Scientific American, and Discover. His books, including The Lobotomist, The Lost Brothers, and Face in the Mirror, have been translated into twenty languages. He lectures widely on writing and medical history. His book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist was recently adapted into the feature film Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.
