On this episode of A Gay And A NonGay, James and Dan are joined by author, comedian and honorary sixth straight guest, Max Dickins! Max opens up about the inspiration behind his brilliant book Billy No-Mates — a deep-dive into male friendship sparked by the realisation he had no one to ask to be his best man. Together, they unpack the complexities of male friendships, masculinity, vulnerability, and why so many straight men are stuck in a “friendship recession”. The trio get hilariously real about everything from stag do admin to homophobic hang-ups around hugging, going for dinner (too gay?), and why Nando's is apparently the safest middle ground. Plus, James shares his theory around why platonic love after heartbreak might just be more romantic than romance itself.

In this powerful episode of Dates, Mates, and Babies, Jason and Lauren Vallotton welcome two courageous women: Kirsten Lapp, Executive Director of Northstate Care Clinic, and Lauren Hodgson, a mother of four who walked through an unexpected pregnancy and found hope in the face of overwhelming pressure. This is the second part to a conversation that began in episode 122.When Lauren discovered she was pregnant with her fourth child, it came as a complete shock. That shock deepened when she learned her baby had Down syndrome. Surrounded by doctors quoting grim statistics and suggesting termination, Lauren found herself in a vulnerable and isolating place—until she connected with Northstate Care Clinic. There, she encountered something radically different: compassion, clarity, and care. All offered freely, without pressure.Now, 18 months later, Lauren's daughter Millie is a joyful, thriving little girl. In this deeply honest conversation, the hosts explore the realities women face during a crisis pregnancy, the unique challenges of raising a child with special needs, and the profound impact of having a supportive community.This episode covers:What defines a crisis pregnancy and the pressure many women experience from the medical system and cultureThe emotional and spiritual strength required to say yes to life when fear and uncertainty are loudThe vital role of Northstate Care Clinic in providing non-judgmental, life-affirming support and resourcesThe need for continued after-birth resources, including housing, especially for women without stable home environmentsA unique opportunity for listeners to help Northstate raise $300,000 to close escrow on a permanent home by July 14thJason and Lauren share that they are contributing to this campaign and invite their listeners to join them in funding a place of real hope for women in Northern California.To learn more or to give, visit:

Cheng Lei's years in detention in China, on trumped-up espionage charges, go from cruel and isolating, to absurd and romantic when she gets moved into a cell with three other women.The Chinese-Australian journalist was held in detention in China for more than three years, accused of selling state secrets to foreign people and powers.In episode one of this two-part series, Lei explained how the charges hinged on a document that was read out publicly on television, and how she survived the cruelty of interrogations and being kept in isolation.In this episode, Lei's details how her experience of detention changed as she moved out of solitary confinement, but still under lock and key with three other women.In cell 112, Lei and the other women sang songs when the guards weren't watching, they fought, they bonded and they communicated secretly with the prisoners in a cell next door.The knocking, for which Lei was punished, climaxed in a covert proposal.Eventually, Lei saw sunlight again. With the help of the Australian Government, she was released and flown back home to Melbourne, where she was reunited with her children (now teenagers), rebuilt her life and can be publicly critical of the paranoid and image-conscious state security system that locked her behind bars for years.Further informationListen to the first part of Richard's extraordinary conversation with Cheng Lei here.Cheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is published by HarperCollins.Cheng Lei: My Story is a documentary made by Sky News Australia.

Pour cet épisode spécial de Connected Mate, une table ronde explosive avec des intervenants brillants, engagés, souvent provocants. On a parlé franc, et fort. Parce que le sujet mérite plus que des demi-mesures. Et pour couronner le tout, on a enregistré ça avec les Mates en public, dans une école, avec des profs, des élèves et des participants qui avaient quelque chose à dire. Ensemble, nous avons ouvert un débat passionné, parfois piquant, sur l'irruption de l'IA dans le monde de l'éducation.Avec PPC autour de la table :Charles Nastorg, assembleur de bulles et de business dans le B2B en tant que communicant,Alice Desjardins, consultante et prof de com qui fait parler les datas et en parle beaucoup aussi,Jean-Emmanuel Séré, designer qui met de l'humain dans les choses de la vie,Alexandre Cormeraie, GenZ Digital Evangelist,Fabienne Roinjard, directrice des programmes académiques de Sup de V, Hubert Kratiroff, professeur d'économie numériqueAty, experte en rien et touche-à-tout du digital ... ... et tous les participants dans la salle.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons d'expertise, de paresse, d'envie, d'innovation, d'inclusion… et de cette étrange idée qu'il faudrait peut-être commencer par réapprendre à se poser les bonnes questions.Pour suivre les actualités de ce podcast, abonnez-vous gratuitement à la newsletter écrite avec amour et garantie sans spam https://bonjourppc.substack.com Hébergé par Ausha.

Since time immemorial BCBAs have looked at their seven-item array of candies and asked, “Why can't I do a preference assessment with huge items or unavailable activities?” Well, now you can with pictorial and/or video-based preference assessments! But don't take my word for it. Or, do take my word for it, but my word paired with the word of all the research on the subject. And if you're already using this technology in your preference assessments, shouldn't you better double-check that you're actually following the evidence-based guidelines. Or did you just assume that the picture of hanging out with friends playing on the iPad must be equivalent to the real thing? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
