This special live episode was recorded on stage at Discovery Park of America during our 2026 Juneteenth celebration. We sat down with Union City native Kenny McCloud, a musician, songwriter, producer and studio owner whose journey took him from childhood dreams in northwest Tennessee to the center of West Coast hip-hop history. McCloud shares how cartoons, local musicians, school bands, funk and soul first sparked his imagination and eventually led him from Union City to Wisconsin and California, where he co-founded Blackhole Recording Studio and worked with some of the biggest names in music. He takes us behind the scenes of a defining era in hip-hop, including his work as a songwriter and producer on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's 1994 breakthrough single, "Thuggish Ruggish Bone." Recorded during a day devoted to celebrating Black history, freedom, resilience and cultural achievement, this conversation explores the people and experiences that shaped McCloud's extraordinary career, the realities of the music business and what it means to look back on a life that connects a small town in West Tennessee to a transformative chapter in American music history. This episode is sponsored by Higher Ground Coffee Company and Vantage Coffee Roasters.

They outline NHS Health Board income streams shown on monthly statements, including global sum (the largest), enhanced services, reimbursements, and deductions for seniority and superannuation. They describe how the Scottish workload formula values patients (especially by age, plus uplifts for new registrations and care homes) and note trends of rolling income into global sum, plus Scottish Government plans for £148m recurring funding by 2028–29 focused on workforce, locum cover reimbursement from day one, expense reimbursement, cloud-based telephony, and health inequalities. They review major costs (staffing and premises), practice structures (partnerships, LLPs, limited companies and superannuation implications), premises loans and grants, superannuation processes and opting out considerations, seniority rules, and pension administration via SPPA Engage, McCloud remedy statements, benefit statement timing, and retirement options.00:00 Welcome and Course Intro00:47 Meet the Experts02:04 NHS Income Streams Explained04:06 Global Sum and Workload Formula06:51 New Funding and Contract Changes11:05 Key Costs Staff and Premises14:45 Practice Structures Partnership LLP Ltd21:58 Premises Loans and Grants26:40 Superannuation Basics and Planning35:44 Seniority Rules and Session Changes37:13 SPPA Portal and McLeod Updates42:04 Retirement Options Partial and Return46:04 Wrap Up and Q&A

On this episode, Cyra is joined by GP Dr. Steve Taylor and specialist medical accountant Andy Pow to discuss Steve's difficult experience getting his NHS pension sorted ahead of semi-retirement at 60 under the older scheme. Steve discovered missing years and incomplete details in his pension record after requesting the data held on him, leading to a year of back-and-forth to correct errors, plus complications from the McCloud remedy and an £11,000 adjustment. He also faced delays and confusion in the application process (AW8), including being told he applied too early by three days and receiving little clarity on payment amounts or timing. Andy explains how errors and gaps are common, advises checking records early via My NHS Pension and PCSE Online, and stresses keeping annual statements, returns, P60s, and March payslips. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:41 Meet Steve and Andy 02:04 Missing Pension Years 05:06 Applying and Silence 06:29 McCloud Remedy Mess 07:49 Start Checking Early 11:20 How to Check Records 13:47 What Documents to Keep 16:49 Estimating Your Pension 19:12 Wrap Up and ResourcesWant the latest financial tips for doctors and exclusive invites?

A picture perfect plate for this Grand Designs legend. Another first for the show, as Kevin McCloud brings along freshly grown produce for Angela to add to their meal. The Grand Designs presenter delivered fresh rhubarb and a variety of apples (in a variety of conditions) that were quickly chopped and prepped for a couple of dishes.  Kevin, who lives in the Herefordshire countryside, is a keen fruit and vegetable grower, and passionate about local and organic foods. Only natural, then, that he turned up to Dish the day after eating a pizza! Perhaps that's his Italian travels coming through - Kevin once lived in Italy, working on a farm in Tuscany before going on to study in Florence.   He's with us to chat about his latest TV show, Kevin McCloud's Listed Britain, a look at the country's greatest buildings and the stories behind them. From the Penguin Pool at London Zoo to the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell, Kevin explores over 20 of the highest designated listed buildings in a show that you can stream on More 4 now.  After a glass of warm beer and chat about the importance of pubs, Angela delivers a construction that Kevin heartily approves of: pork chops with pickled rhubarb and shaved fennel. It's a recipe by Ed Smith which is paired with a bottle of Chapel Down Bacchus. Kevin's apples then take centre stage with an open apple tart and dairy-free vanilla ice cream.  There's then time to reflect on 27 years of Grand Designs, with (finally) an explanation as to why the windows are always the problem. We also make Kevin choose his favourite apple (how could we?!) and kit up in high vis gear for a special End of Show Question.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for pork chops with pickled rhubarb and shaved fennel was created for Waitrose by Ed Smith.

Rising hip hop influencer Cameron McCloud lets us in on his journey and his processPART ONE: Paul and Scott chat about a song that's getting a lot of hate online and consider how the internet has redefined how we hear music. PART TWO:  Our in-depth conversation with Cameron McCloudABOUT CAMERON McCLOUD Cure for Paranoia is the Dallas-based alternative hip hop collective fronted by Cameron McCloud. Crowned "Rap Group of the Year" by the Dallas Entertainment Awards in 2025 and "Artist of the Year" in 2026, the group's name came about following McCloud's diagnosis with bipolar depression and paranoid schizophrenia. Their breakthrough came when Erykah Badu's tapped them to perform at her birthday bash, and they have since shared bills with such artists as George Clinton, Nas, Ludacris, and Leon Bridges. The group was named NPR Tiny Desk Contest finalists three times in 2023, 2024, and 2025 before winning the contest in 2026. In addition to the success of their most recent EP, Work of Art, they've gained attention online thanks to Cameron's 2025 challenge to release an original verse every day on his social media channels. Tackling everything from mental health to social injustice, his rhymes earned a substantial following. Inspired by groups such as Outkast, The Roots, and a Tribe Called Quest, Cameron McCloud and Cure for Paranoia are rapidly gaining a major national audience.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For his follow up to MASH, Robert Altman decided to bring us all… this! The wonderfully bizarre Brewster McCloud of course stars the late great Bud Cort in the title role, but that's hardly the only thing the movie has to recommend it. It bursts at the seams so full of ideas it will make even the most tuned in acid head do a double take. We hope you enjoy our discussion on this one of a kind  cinematic experience. Topics include: Where's Waldo, the history of the Houston Astrodome, and Michael Murphy's singular brand of onscreen blandness.

If you're into comics and graphic novels, you probably know of Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud. Telgemeier rose to "first-name-only status" among middle-grade readers with her adaptations of The Babysitters Club and award-winning autobiographical graphic novels including Smile and Guts. Scott McCloud is a leading comics theorist, having spoken and written about the art form since the 1980s. In fact, Telgemeier credits McCloud's work for inspiring her when she was a teenager. Now these two leading artists come together to discuss the unique power of comics and their new graphic novel, The Cartoonists Club. Their book centers around four characters: Makayla, who is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story; Howard, who loves to draw but struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time; Lynda, who constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes; and Art, who simply loves being creative. Throughout the book, Telgemeier and McCloud infuse how-to advice on comics creation that, they hope, will inspire a new wave of cartoonists. They both have seen renewed enthusiasm for the genre, especially among younger readers and are teaming up to provide an entertaining and practical guide to the magic of comics storytelling. Raina Telgemeier is the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award–winning creator of Smile, Sisters, and Guts, which are all graphic memoirs based on her childhood. She is also the creator of Drama and Ghosts, and is the adapter and illustrator of the first four Baby-sitters Club graphic novels. Facing Feelings: The Art of Raina Telgemeier is a companion catalog for an exhibition held at Ohio State University's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Raina lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. To learn more, visit her online at goraina.com. Scott McCloud is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art; Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels; Zot!; and The Sculptor. He is a frequent lecturer on the power of visual communication, creator of the international 24-hour comic movement, and, in 2021, was inducted into the Will Eisner Awards Hall of Fame. His art and stories are available in more than 30 languages and on the web at scottmccloud.com Buy the Book The Cartoonists Club Brick and Mortar Books

Send us a textWhat if a few words and a simple image could reshape how students treat each other—and how they feel about themselves? We dive into bucket filling, a plain-language framework that sparked a global kindness movement. Grounded in the CASEL competencies and early brain research, this approach replaces vague advice with three clear rules: be a bucket filler, try not to dip, and use your lid.Carol McCloud, president of Bucket Fillers Academy and author of 11 children's books, shares how the metaphor took root in classrooms and homes, why it resonates from preschool to adults, and how “fill more, dip less, use the lid” becomes a daily rhythm. We talk through scaffolding the concepts by age, from concrete acts of kindness to the advanced skill of setting boundaries. Carol offers ready-to-use ideas: a 30-minute eye-to-eye affirmation circle that changes classroom tone, a daily pledge that keeps the habit top-of-mind, and family rituals that ask, “Whose bucket did you fill today—and what filled yours?”Expect data as well as heart. You will hear how one principal, once skeptical, watched behavior referrals fall by 68% after tracking witnessed kindness with classroom buckets and school-wide action. We also explore how the language reframes bullying as a behavior to be changed, not an identity to be assigned, helping students respond with empathy, accountability, and self-control. Along the way, Carol points to free posters, songs, and multilingual tools at bucketfillers101.com to make the practice stick across mornings, group work, and conflict resolution.If you believe culture drives learning, this episode gives you a shared vocabulary, practical routines, and the science-backed reminder that tiny acts create big ripples. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review to help more educators and families discover tools that make kindness visible. What bucket will you fill today?

Send us a textGiants chaos meets comeback energy! After another emotional week, the Giants are dealing with everything from viral beefs to injury setbacks — and some unexpected signings too. Sean Payton threw shade after the Denver game, Russell Wilson fired right back on social media, and Nabers clapped back at Tiki Barber for his comments on rookie Jaxson Dart. Meanwhile, Brian Burns cleared the air on his sideline outburst, and Daboll gave key injury updates that could shape Sunday's lineup.Giants fans — what do you think of all this drama? Do you back Nabers' defense of Dart, or do you think Tiki had a point? Drop your take below and don't forget to subscribe to join the Goofball Army for more Giants breakdowns and banter every week!The Giants' roster also saw a shakeup this week. Kicker McAtamney was released, but veteran Gano has been designated to return from IR — potentially stabilizing the special teams after weeks of inconsistency. New York also added veteran wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, who was cut by the Falcons following internal team issues. McCloud brings speed, return ability, and a fresh start to the Giants' depth chart. They also resigned cornerback Korie Black, a lost draft pick who's looking to prove himself after limited action with the Jets.On the injury front, Brian Daboll confirmed that Brian Burns, Jevon Holland, Paulson Adebo, and Chauncey Golston are all sidelined in practice, with their Week 8 status still up in the air. Despite the concerns, the team remains optimistic about Gano's return and the potential spark from McCloud's addition.The show also dives deep into the ongoing Russ vs. Payton feud, Burns' sideline moment, and how the Giants' coaching staff needs to protect Jaxson Dart better in key late-game situations. Drew and Rob break down what these headlines mean for the Giants' identity heading into midseason, plus what fans can expect next from this evolving roster.Show Everyone You are a Goofball By Checking Out Our Merchandise Storehttps://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support the Show on Buy Me a Coffee - Kill Our Livers Buy Us Beers!https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsSubscribe to Our YouTube Channel - Best Way to Watch Our Contenthttps://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1Become a Member of the YouTube Goofball Channel for Perkshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-tiLjkehiawtN-v6gMFViA/joinFollow us On Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/2giantgoofballsFollow us On Xhttps://x.com/2giantgoofbalSupport the showThank you for watching & for your support.
