At the top of the hill, we parked, and . . . our brakes went out. The truck started rolling backward through traffic down the hill, and there was nothing we could do to stop it. I opened the door and started waving frantically and shouting, “Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”                                                                ----------------Today's story is told by Joshua Lewis of the Great River People Project in Cambodia. Subscribe and leave us a review if you enjoyed listening to today's story!

In this eye-opening episode, Darin sits down with Dr. Sara Reardon — pelvic floor physical therapist, educator, and the internet's beloved “Vagina Whisperer” — to uncover the truth about women's bodies that too many doctors are still ignoring. From pelvic pain and leaking to postpartum trauma and sexual dysfunction, Sara breaks down what every woman deserves to know about her anatomy, healing, and power. Together, Darin and Sara dismantle the shame, silence, and outdated science that's left generations of women in pain and confusion — and offer a path forward rooted in education, self-advocacy, and respect for the female body.    

We're switching things up this episode. Instead of our usual stories about women in history, we're pausing to bring awareness to Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (aka chronic hives). Nicole is opening up about her deeply personal ongoing health journey that's basically become her personality over the last 10 months.  Hives can be triggered by a wide range of issues, which makes them an incredibly frustrating and mysterious condition. They're often a symptom of something deeper happening in the body. In Nicole's case, the hives took over her entire body—not the tiny, bug-bite-style ones, but massive, intensely itchy welts from head to toe. She's tried nearly everything: parasite treatments, supplements, antibiotics, Xolair, prednisone, and even a grueling cleanse. While she's experienced moments of relief, the hives keep coming back and they like to switch it up every time.  If you've ever felt isolated in your health struggles, been dismissed by doctors, or left without answers, this episode is for you. Nicole's not a doctor and isn't offering medical advice, just an honest account of her experience, in hopes of finding answers or supporting someone else on a similar path.

In a stunning moment of media reflection, Jake Tapper concedes that conservative outlets were right all along about Joe Biden's visible cognitive and physical decline—an admission made during a pointed interview with Megyn Kelly. The conversation dives deep into how mainstream networks like CNN ignored or downplayed key incidents, from Biden's public freeze-ups to glaring health concerns, all while labeling conservative reports as “cheap fakes.” The transcript also raises explosive questions about Biden's recent stage-four cancer diagnosis, medical transparency, and possible institutional malpractice. With speculation about who was truly in charge behind the scenes—ranging from Obama-era aides to a so-called "shadow government"—the dialogue exposes a broader concern: has the public been systematically misled, and if so, by whom and to what end? This fiery exchange explores media complicity, political cover-ups, and the eerie gaps in Biden's health records that even CNN can't ignore anymore.

In a fiery and conspiratorial broadcast, hosts question the official narrative surrounding President Joe Biden's late-stage cancer diagnosis, alleging a cover-up tied to political scandal and media manipulation. They challenge the medical timeline, scrutinize conflicting guidelines, and accuse the administration of suppressing tests to avoid bad optics. Linking the revelation to Biden's classified documents controversy, the discussion spirals into broader claims of government deceit, media complicity, and a systematic erosion of public trust. A provocative conversation that blurs the line between skepticism and conspiracy.

In March 2021, the Toronto-based reporter Leyland Cecco heard about a memo sent by New Brunswick health officials that warned about a possible unknown neurological syndrome thought to be affecting about 40 people. Since then the story has taken many twists and turns, most recently with a peer-reviewed study that concludes there is no mystery illness after all. Cecco tells Madeleine Finlay about the devastating symptoms that patients experienced, and why the research is unlikely to resolve the conflict over what has been causing them.
