Keith McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs movement, discusses his family's deep American roots and how despite a lineage connected to the founding of the country which also participated in parapolitical events, McHenry took a radical departure toward anarchism and social activism. He describes the evolution of his organization, which provides free meals as a form of nonviolent protest against military spending and corporate dystopia. He details his extensive history of political arrests, his experiences with state repression and torture, and his commitment to aiding the homeless. He outlines the digital dystopia being built all around us and suggests mutual aid as one of the few things that will get us through.

Keith McHenry, founder of Food Not Bombs, joins the program to discuss a increasing reality: in dozens of U.S. cities, feeding hungry people has become a punishable offense. Through "no public feeding" ordinances and other restrictions, volunteers serving free meals have found themselves arrested, fined, and driven out of public spaces. McHenry has shared free food in thousands of cities around the world for more than four decades and, during that time, has been arrested hundreds of times, jailed, beaten, and even labeled part of a terrorist network—all for organizing volunteers to feed hungry people.McHenry also shares why, in his experience, the most liberal cities are often the worst offenders—the very cities that claim to stand for the poor. Meanwhile, those who support smaller government and the idea of community members helping community members are more often found in Republican-led communities and smaller towns, which have been the most accepting and, in many cases, have even partnered with his organization. It's the opposite of what much of the media portrays.This conversation will show you that helping others is up to all of us and that government should not be relied upon when it matters most.Learn how you can get involved or buy his books at KeithMcHenry.net.Sign up for the newsletter and see exclusives at SarahWestall.Substack.com.

C'est récemment, très récemment, que les institutions officielles des Etats-Unis se sont résignées à choisir leur hymne national.Cet épisode passionnant nous replonge au cœur du conflit entre les États-Unis et le Royaume-Uni au début du XIXe siècle. En août 1814, les troupes britanniques entrent dans Washington et saccagent le Capitole ainsi que la Maison du Président. Mais derrière cet épisode tragique se cache l'origine de l'hymne national américain, "The Star-Spangled Banner".Franck Ferrand nous entraîne dans les rues de la capitale américaine alors que la menace britannique se profile à l'horizon. Nous suivons les mouvements du major général Robert Ross, chargé par Londres d'anéantir cette jeune république. Ses hommes mettent le feu au Capitole et à la Maison du Président, alors que le gouvernement a fui la ville.Mais au même moment, un jeune avocat du Maryland, Francis Scott Key, se trouve pris au piège sur un navire britannique. Il assiste impuissant au bombardement du fort McHenry par la flotte anglaise. C'est là qu'il trouve l'inspiration pour écrire les paroles de ce qui deviendra l'hymne national américain, "The Star-Spangled Banner".Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans les coulisses de la genèse de ce chant patriotique, devenu l'un des plus célèbres au monde. Il revient sur les tensions entre les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne, qui ont conduit à cette guerre de 1812. Il nous fait également découvrir le parcours de Francis Scott Key, ce poète du dimanche qui a immortalisé l'héroïsme des soldats américains face à l'envahisseur britannique.Cet épisode captivant nous rappelle que l'histoire d'un hymne national peut être intimement liée aux soubresauts d'un pays. Un récit passionnant qui nous fait voyager à travers les pages de l'histoire américaine
Send us Fan MailThe funniest part of comedy is supposed to be the laughter, not the analytics, but that's not the world we're working in anymore. We sit down with comedian Stephanie Robertson to talk about hitting her five-year mark in stand-up, what the comedy community gives you that the internet never can, and why the live room still tells the only truth that matters.Stephanie shares what life looks like during a forced slowdown: moving back from Austin, Texas, staying in the suburbs, and losing access to her car for a week. That simple problem turns into long walks, heavy journaling, and a lot of clarity about momentum, creativity, and what you actually need to keep writing. We also get into her experience producing a weekly show at The Vixen in McHenry, dealing with regulars who know your act, and the constant push to keep evolving.Then we go straight at the big modern headache: the social media algorithm. We talk Instagram Reels, TikTok, stand-up clips, retention time, and how editing for “the first two seconds” can distort a joke and chip away at creative integrity. We also unpack why huge follower counts still don't guarantee ticket sales, and we debate the thin line between offensive jokes and comedic freedom through the Kevin Hart roast backlash. If you care about stand-up comedy, comedy clubs, marketing as a comedian, and building a career without selling your soul to metrics, this one's for you.

Brett Keeter began his political career managing a campaign for a 26-year-old up-and-comer named Patrick McHenry, who won a seat in the General Assembly in 2002, the biennium of co-Speakers. Brett would serve as Rep. McHenry's legislative assistant. Two years later, the college friends mount a successful campaign for Congress, with Brett going on to lead Congressman McHenry's district offices. In this conversation, Brett reflects on it all, including watching his boss evolve from a political bomb-thrower to a unifier, and from back-bencher to Speaker of the House for 23 days. Brett shares candid insights on the good times, the fun times, the challenging January 6 vote, and the moments that defined a career behind the scenes on Capitol Hill. Plus, Skye and Brian break down a new issue poll, the selection of a new North Carolina senator, the latest developments in the Leandro case, a visit from Secretary Mullin, and the transition from basketball to baseball season.

Send us Fan MailA five-run hole, a swaggering ace on the mound, and a clubhouse tired of almost. We sit down with Michael McHenry to relive April 14, 2013—an afternoon that turned a would-be stumble into a sweep and revealed how the Pirates' identity had finally hardened into something playoff strong. McHenry takes us inside the arc from 2011–2012 foundation-building to a 2013 culture defined by shared leadership, sharper preparation, and a bullpen that made the last nine outs feel inevitable.You'll hear how Russell Martin's arrival shifted everything without swallowing the room. From AJ Burnett's grip on the rotation to Jason Grilli's Shark Tank swagger, and Clint Barmes' infield calm, the team moved from good vibes to clear standards. McHenry also opens up about embracing a reduced role behind Martin: what it took to stay razor-ready after four or five days off, and how trust grew when a veteran star asked questions first. That mindset met the moment against Matt Latos, who'd owned McHenry for years—until a 2-0 heater met a ready barrel for a center-field jolt.The comeback tightened again versus Jonathan Broxton, a towering slider machine. McHenry breaks down picking up spin, getting the ball in the air, and watching the left fielder nearly topple into the seats as the game turned. From there, the formula that defined the 2013 Pirates took hold: get to the bullpen, turn to Mark Melancon, hand the ninth to Jason Grilli, and close the book. We trace the line from that April sweep to late July, when the roster kept winning even on off nights and belief became habit.If you love baseball strategy, clubhouse chemistry, and the way a single game can forecast a season, this one's for you. Tap play, subscribe for more behind-the-plate stories, and leave a review with the comeback that made you a believer.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

Chris McHenry, Chief Product Officer at Aviatrix, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss the launch of Aviatrix 8.2 and how the company is redefining zero trust security for modern cloud-native environments. McHenry explained that as critical business data and AI workloads increasingly reside in public clouds such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient. Aviatrix has spent the last decade building its Cloud Native Security Fabric, a platform designed specifically for cloud operational models rather than retrofitted on-premises approaches. With release 8.2, Aviatrix significantly expands its “zero trust for workloads” capabilities, focusing on Kubernetes, serverless environments, and AI-driven applications. A central theme of the conversation was the evolution of zero trust from a networking concept into a workload-centric security strategy. McHenry noted that recent supply-chain attacks have shown how quickly cloud-native environments can be compromised if basic network controls are missing. Aviatrix 8.2 introduces deeper Kubernetes awareness, policy-as-code integration, and initial native support for securing AWS Lambda, allowing organizations to apply micro-segmentation and least-privilege access directly to modern workloads. McHenry emphasized that cloud security must also evolve operationally. Security teams can no longer rely on slow, ticket-based firewall processes while developers deploy infrastructure at machine speed. Aviatrix 8.2 supports a DevSecOps-friendly model that enables developers to manage zero trust policies within guardrails defined by security teams. As McHenry put it, “If your workloads get more modern but your controls don't, security gets worse without you touching anything.” The discussion concluded with guidance for CIOs and CISOs preparing for the next wave of cloud and AI-driven threats: assess whether existing network security tools truly understand cloud-native workloads, modernize security operations alongside development practices, and prioritize platforms that unify cloud, network, and security teams. More information on Aviatrix 8.2 and the Cloud Native Security Fabric is available at https://aviatrix.ai/.
Judy and Holly are here from Home of the Sparrow! Here is their mission and some insights from their website:"Home of the Sparrow's mission is to provide Hope, Opportunity and Support that empowers women and children as they journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Home of the Sparrow opened its doors as a registered 501(c)3 non-profit homeless shelter in 1987. Today, Home of the Sparrow not only provides Transitional Shelter, but also Affordable Housing and Rapid Re-Housing combined with Supportive Services that address the core issues of homelessness. Home of the Sparrow serves single women, pregnant women and women with children. Approximately 70+ percent of the women we serve have experienced domestic violence at some point on their journey. Other reasons for homelessness include unforeseen housing or financial crisis, a death in the family, or a medical emergency. The economy and rising cost of living contribute to unstable housing situations. On average Home of the Sparrow receives over 1,700+ calls a year from women in crisis and helps an average of 400+ women each year. Tax ID 36-3494491"Need assistance? Visit https://hosparrow.org/intake/Origins & Why It MattersThe journey began in 1984, when McHenry County recognized that homelessness wasn't just a city issue - neighbors right here were struggling. A church survey revealed a growing need, and the community began discussing real solutions rather than just sympathy.First Steps into ActionIn 1985, community members (yes, regular people like you and me) met over pancakes, recognized the problem was real, and decided to take action. Initially, folks weren't sure how to help, but that spark launched a movement.Shelter OpensDecember 15, 1986: The first shelter opened — not fancy, but real, offering refuge to those most in need. It became clear very quickly that the majority of people they were helping were women and children—people often left out of the conversation, but never left behind at HOS.Becoming an Organization1987: Home of the Sparrow officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, cementing its role as a key community resource.

Hello to you listening in McHenry, Illinois!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't but once there was a corrupt politician in the 1920's named John A. McCarthy; but he was known as Fishhooks McCarthy. He lived and worked on the Lower East Side of New York City. Being a devout man every morning he stopped at a little Catholic Church, St. James Church on Olive Street, to pray. Same prayer every day: “O Lord, give me health and strength. We'll steal the rest.” Fishhooks sounds like one of those politicians you shouldn't trust; but people remembered him as a Robin Hood who used graft and corruption to redistribute money to his unemployed and working class poor constituents.Let me be very clear! I am not advocating for theft, bribery, corruption, immorality, stepping outside the law, and all the rest. We have more than enough of that with the Trump/MAGA Regime. What I am saying is that in these historic times we have once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to examine our core values, our moral code, and ask ourselves: what do I stand for and what won't I stand for?Question: While you have health and strength what can you do to be of good use? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

This week, I'm sitting down with Maya McHenry — a model, publicist, philanthropist, and board member of the Endometriosis Foundation of America — for a conversation I've been wanting to have on this show for a long time.Maya's been deep in this advocacy work for years, and it's clear why—in today's interview, she shares just how much trauma and hardship she's been through. In our conversation, Maya walks me through the first time she ever experienced an “endo episode,” when the pain was so severe she passed out. She shares how she spent years being dismissed by doctors, misdiagnosed, and told that her symptoms were “just anxiety.” Hearing how long she suffered before finally getting a diagnosis was heartbreaking, especially knowing that her story isn't unusual. Many women wait 7–10 years for answers, and Maya brings so much honesty, clarity, and compassion to this topic.We also talk about how chronic illness impacts mental health, how trauma can intensify physical symptoms, and the tools she's learned to use when her flares hit without warning. Maya's vulnerability in sharing what this disease has taken from her and how she's learned to advocate for herself is incredibly powerful.At the end of the conversation, I asked her about her sister, Lyric McHenry (my former coworker and friend from Refinery29 who tragically passed), and what Maya shared with me was so emotional and so profound that I realized it deserved its own full episode.So today's episode is only Part 1, focusing on Maya's endometriosis journey.Next week, you'll hear Part 2, where Maya opens up about grief, healing, and the beautiful ways she continues to honor Lyric's legacy.This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've had on The Real Stuff. I hope it brings comfort, insight, and validation to anyone who has ever felt overlooked or unheard in the medical system.The Endometriosis Foundation of America: https://www.endofound.orgFollow Maya: https://www.instagram.com/mayamchenry/Sponsor:CLEARSTEM: How to claim your free Hydration Heroes Mini Kit: Go to CLEARSTEM.com, add the Hydration Heroes Mini Kit plus $75 of other CLEARSTEM products to your cart, and enter code REALSTUFFHH at checkout — the kit is yours for free!

I'm a fan of Travis McHenry's decks and have a few, when I found out he had a new one in the works I went over and joined the campaign. The new deck is all about the misunderstood first wife, and equal to Adam, Lilith (Lilitu)! This was an incredibly cozy chat that I think you shall enjoy.

We revisit an early episode about two great ballplayers who sickened at midcareer and, sadly, could not come back in any sense. What can we learn from them? This week's new remarks expand on that theme, the government shutdown, and on the idea of the Infinite Inning podcast itself. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?
This week, in McHenry, Illinois, several members of an extended family begin to get sick, and even drop dead, from a seemingly mysterious illness. These deaths just happen to be exactly what one family member needs, as he pays off his debts, with the money he collects. Is there some kind of enviornmental cause for the deaths? Maybe the water supply? Or, is it poisoned cookies, doughnuts, and pea soup?? Bodies are dug up, and one arrogant man says it's all done to set him up! Along the way, we find out that every country music artist must have either "Zack", or "Bryan" in their name, that not all doughnuts are as good as they should be, and no one paralyzes themselves, to set someone else up for a crime!!
