Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, #205 - Emotional Metabolism, I'm diving deep into what I'm calling "emotional metabolism" - a game-changing way to think about how we process our feelings. Using a fun food analogy, I explain why trying to "get rid" of anxiety or negative emotions actually makes them stronger. Instead, I share how we can learn to feel our emotions the same way we eat nutritious food - with acceptance and purpose. I break down why our brains interpret emotional experiences as threats and how resistance creates more suffering. Through real examples from missionaries and returned missionaries, I demonstrate how simply observing our emotions without judgment can transform our experience. The key takeaway? We're not meant to eliminate difficult feelings, but to metabolize them - just like our bodies process nutrients. If you're struggling with anxiety, negative thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed on your mission, this episode is for you. I'll help you understand that having challenging emotions is completely normal and part of our human design. By the end, you'll have a new perspective on emotional processing that can help you move through difficult experiences with more grace and understanding. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.     Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here

In a trying time where PBS could be defunded and Nelvana go under, we felt it was necessary to tackle a big hitter that served as a cornerstone for the domination of educational television in the 90s. It's The Magic School Bus - an all time classic that many do not realize is technically Canadian (the best kind of Canadian). Also, some mildly depressing Canadian federal election chatter because it is actually relevant for once!Episode covered for the podcast was episode 8 "In the Haunted House." Written by John May, Kristin Laskas Martin & Jocelyn Stevenson. Directed by Lawrence Jacobs.

In Season 9, Episode 4 — the fourth track of the As a Man series, Volume 2, titled As a Man, You Feel Too Much, Izzy Baker sits down with Dr. Matt Zakreski, author of The Neurodivergent Playbook and nationally respected speaker, for an unfiltered conversation about what it means when a man feels stuck—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.Building on themes from the previous track, Izzy and Dr. Matt explore the internal prisons that keep men from moving forward. From shame and isolation to purpose confusion and burnout, they break down why so many men stay stagnant even when showing up, trying, and putting in the work. Dr. Matt explains how neurodivergent men often misread their emotions—confusing sadness and overwhelm with anger—and how the mind can trick us into staying stuck out of fear, pride, or pressure to perform. The conversation touches on everything from Tiger Woods' raw ability and emotional control to the mental toll of unspoken sexual struggles that many men silently endure. In true Mental Man Monday fashion, they also bring in unexpected wisdom, referencing Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus as a reminder that growth requires risk. Sometimes, you have to “take chances, make mistakes, and get messy” before real change can happen. They close by discussing faith, healing, and the power of Proverbs 16:3—why actual behavior change requires clarity, self-awareness, and a willingness to wait on God's direction instead of rushing into motion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Gullah Gullah Island. Gullah Gullah Island is a musical children's program created by Maria Magdalena Perez, Kathleen Minton Catapano, and Kit Laybourne. It premiered on Nick Jr. on October 24, 1994.  Gullah Gullah Island is inspired by the Gullah culture of St. Helena Island, South Carolina. It centers on Ron Alston (Ron Daise) and Natalie Alston (Natalie Daise), who teach their kids and the kids at home valuable lessons through song.  Joining in the fun is the giant frog Binyah Binyah (Philip D. Garcia, Justin Campbell). Vanessa Baden, who portrays Vanessa Alston, also starred in Nickelodeon's Kenan & Kel.  Gullah Gullah Island was positively received by critics, earning a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Pre-School Children's Series in 1997, as well as nominations for multiple NAACP Image Awards. Aaron and Josh talk about their history with the show, the first episode, the music, and the show's incorporation of the Gullah culture. They also discuss the show's appeal and availability on streaming. For more kid shows, you can listen to Aaron and Josh's podcasts on Rugrats and The Magic School Bus. Gullah Gullah Island is streaming on Paramount+

Today we are joined with Adam Rodness and Stu Stone to hear all about their brand new film "Don't Fuck With Ghosts" that mixes both reality and fiction into one big story of trying to make contact with the other side.

Both are a well of knowledge who wear so many hats, and even Stu's voice has spanned across almost every cartoon that aired throughout our childhood (Magic School Bus, My Pet Monster, Babar, Cryptkeeper, The Tick, Beetlejuice, Rupert ... and I would actually break my hand if I tried to type all of them out right now).

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Magic School Bus.

The Magic School Bus series, beloved of 80s and 90s kids as both a book series and a TV show, depicts a school where every day is a field trip and every field trip is actually a fantastical voyage through time and space.

After more five years and 170 episodes of podcasting, Amado has finally written a full 1600 words of actual, genuine Magic School Bus fanfiction. And Tory and Della are ready to listen to it and try to serve as betas. Beta readers, I mean. You can't be too careful with the Omegaverse out there.   Link to the (slightly revised) story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/57044551  

I interview Producer Michael Hirsh, who led several animation companies including Nelvana, which was responsible for developing Babar, The Magic School Bus, The Berenstain Bears, Beetlejuice, and many more animated series. We talk about how his company got hired to create the animated short (as part of the Star Wars Holiday Special) that was the defacto introduction of the character of Boba Fett. In my Back-in-time segment, we go back to when he started Nelvana with a college friend and hired recent graduates from a nearby animation school. And in advice, Michael talks about what a great era it is now to be able to start your own animation company. His book Animation Nation: How We Built a Cartoon Empire, is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and sutherlandhousebooks.com You can follow Michael on Instagram at @michaelhirshanimation --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inside-animation/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inside-animation/support

Speed round with Pete Capella who is in no mood for this Marvel space nonsense.

Education News Headline RoundupSupreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has leveled criticism at the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision just days after the 70th anniversary of the ruling. In his concurring opinion on a decision allowing South Carolina to keep using a congressional map that critics say discriminated against Black voters, Thomas this month argued that the Brown decision took a "boundless view of equitable remedies" and involved "extravagant uses of judicial power" to end racial segregation in schools.The Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) announced its closure, attributing the decision partly to financial difficulties exacerbated by ongoing issues with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) system. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Education has pledged a comprehensive review of its financial aid office and the FAFSA process in response to widespread problems impacting students and institutions nationwide.A follow-up to a headline we first shared in February of this year: Harvard University's “Institutional Voice” working group has concluded its work and recommended that Harvard leaders not “issue official statements about public matters that do not directly affect the university's core function.”Taking Chances, Making Mistakes, & Getting MessyThis week, 16:1 explores the origins of “The Magic School Bus,” the beloved children's television series designed to engage young learners with scientific topics and other curious learning adventures.  The franchise, which started as a children's book series written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen in 1986, emerged from Scholastic Co.'s vision of blending science with fiction. The franchise sold 93 million book copies worldwide, captivating young minds and paving the way for its evolution into a popular TV show.From 1994 to 1997, "The Magic School Bus" brought science to life on PBS, with Ms. Frizzle, voiced by Lily Tomlin, leading her fourth-grade class on magical field trips. Each adventure, from exploring the solar system to journeying inside the human body, made complex scientific concepts accessible and fun for young learners. Today, the series continues to inspire through its presence on Netflix and has recently gotten a reboot, "The Magic School Bus Rides Again."We discuss the show's pedagogical approach, its effective use of repetition to reinforce concepts, and its clever handling of creative liberties with science. We also share behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the animation and voice acting process, revealing the dedication to making the show both scientifically accurate and entertaining. Tune in to hear our personal reflections on favorite episodes and how "The Magic School Bus" has shaped our understanding of science.Sources & Resources:Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v.

On Episode 204 of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we interview writer and producer Jocelyn Stevenson! Jocelyn is best known for her contributions to a wide variety of projects for The Jim Henson Company. She started off writing books based on various Muppet productions, then worked as one of the co-creators and writers for the original Fraggle Rock series, as well as serving as consulting producer for the Apple TV+ reboot Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. She also wrote several episodes of Sesame Street and scripted specials such as The Tale of the Bunny Picnic and created a number of other Henson series, including The Ghost of Faffner Hall, The Animal Show, Mopatop's Shop, The Hoobs and more. Outside of Henson, Jocelyn was a writer and head writer on The Magic School Bus and was an executive producer with HIT Entertainment for several years!

On Episode 197 of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we interview puppeteer, writer and director Noel MacNeal! Noel's puppetry career started on The Great Space Coaster, inheriting the role of Knock Knock. Since 1982, he has worked on Sesame Street as a puppeteer and now as a director. He is best known for puppeteering the title character Bear on Bear in the Big Blue House, as well as occasionally writing and directing for the show. Some of his other puppetry roles include performing Magellan on Eureeka's Castle, Leon on The Puzzle Place, Rabbit on The Book of Pooh, Kako on Oobi and Lionel Lion in the final two seasons of Between the Lions. Noel also wrote episodes for other children's series including The Magic School Bus, Gullah Gullah Island and Cyberchase!

Hi, friends! On this episode we discuss The Magic School Bus! And we trip right out of the gate because Rebecca's audio is full of background noise. Whoops! Sorry! We promise to do better in future! Anyway, we're back! Well... Rebecca is back. Sadly, she had to recast Alan. Not because anything is wrong with him! Alan and Rebecca still share a wonderful marriage and two wonderful children, but sadly Alan works full time and does not have the ability to commit as a host of the podcast anymore. With that being said... Welcome, Martyn! Rebecca and Martyn will be coming at you every Saturday (hopefully) with more nonsense and over-analysis.

Strap on your back packs, this episode get wild!

We turned the hype meters to 11 for this awesome episode! The main training topic was on the wild, uncertain science of post-exercise ketone supplementation. We take you into the cutting-edge of this emerging field of research, like a Magic Schoolbus for the scientific method. Ketone bodies are naturally produced after exercise, an evolutionary mechanism honed over millions of years. Now, through a relatively new liquid supplement, evolution has a dimmer switch. That switch could enhance adaptation and performance...or it could go down more sinister paths. We highlight some stunning studies, including a review article released just last week, with implications for how we think about uncertain physiology in other areas too. We also dug into a listener question about bone density! In coaching and research, we have seen big changes in bone density over time. No matter where you start, you can improve your outcomes via training and nutrition. We're past Halloween season, but it's never too late to get extremely excited about skeletons. And this one was so full of fun! Other topics: race week thoughts, a study on training data from athletes who leveled up to world-class performers, 2 technology updates on shoes and shirts, eating disorder recovery, a fascinating new study on how protein synthesis changes based on protein sources, and hot takes. For some reason, we take a diversion to riff on "g-receptor signaling" in a way that won't teach you anything, but may change how you think about biology. We promise that you won't get these riffs on Huberman. For a weekly bonus episode (and bi-weekly newsletter, plus merch), make sure you're subscribed to our Patreon. We love you all! HUZZAH!

Send us a Text Message.So if you have a sense of humor, like me…I'm  sure you appreciate a good meme. I mean, they are one of my favorite parts of the damn internet, I'm just saying.And recently I got to thinking about how we communicate so differently now and how even memes have changed the way we interact with one another.So that's where we are going today, class. Hop on the Magic School Bus lol and let's explore the World Wide Web and all the workings of how we actually communicate less now in this digital age of easy access. Ready?( Yes, Ms. Frizzle!) Ok, then…open your  minds andLet's go explore together how when we post more we are actually learning less about others and end up expressing very little about our true selves and what we really need to say.

Well git on there little weirdo!  Welcome to THE RANCH!! It's spacious!  It's cozy!  It's FULL OF MONSTERS?! It's another week of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual and this week we're home, home on the range!  Lauren starts us off with some VERY COOL science news in a segment we like to call the MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!  The bus often takes us down someone's throat or up someone's butt but today we are fortunate enough that we're just traveling into a petri dish.  Scientists at the Weizmann Institute just announced that they've successfully GROWN A HUMAN EMBRYO!! In a lab!! What does this mean?  Can we grow humans now?  Are they real people?  Are they clones??  All your questions will be answered! Ashley takes on her first WHERE IN THE WORLD (Is Keep It Weird Going?) and takes us to bright & sunny.... Arizona??  That's right, Rainbow Arizona to be exact, to check out the infamous STARDUST RANCH!  Where couple John and Joyce Edmonds lived for 20 long, hard years alongside aliens, ghosts, portals to other dimensions, and monsters that killed their pets.  Were they being abducted and experimented on?  Does Stardust Ranch contain portals to another world?  Who was the mysterious machete man?! Move over Skinwalker Ranch, there's another ranch in town. Check out some links below if you want to learn more about the stories and information shared in today's episode.

Scary up front but OK in the end! That's the accidental theme for this week's episode of KEEP IT WEIRD - The podcast for all things strange and unusual - and therefore our working title... But REAL Weirdos know the official title of this one... Hey, kids! If you're new here this is the show where Ashley & Lauren get together each week to talk about something WEIRD and this week had way too much body horror involved. We apologize to most of you but for some of you freaks: you're welcome? Ashley starts us off by taking us on a Magic School Bus ride for BODY TIME! Have you ever heard of Musical Ear Syndrome? Well some people are blaming this phenomenon for witnessing paranormal activity! But don't worry, we've got some alternative theories to compete with the skeptics.  Lauren takes us into a JEEPERS CREEPERS that's all about our PEEPERS. Did you know that our eyeballs have something called "immune privelage?" It means that our eyes have a special relationship with our immune system that help protect them from inflammatory responses... but it also does horrible, terrible things. Ashley couldn't let our eyes get all the glory, she comes in next with another JEEPERS CREEPERS but this one is all about TEEFERS. Teeth, as adults call them. Did you know they could EXPLODE?! I don't need to say more about this, watch the ep to unlock new dental fears. Finally, Lauren wraps up the episode with a good old fashioned CONSPIRACY THEORY!! Only this time the conspiracy came true. The cold war made all of us a little cuckoo-- but possibly none moreso than the Canadian government who decided they needed to build the world's first "GAYDAR" to try to rid themselves of homosexual employees. But all it really did was prove that we just don't shame straight white men enough.  Check out some links below if you'd like to do some more reading on today's topics!
