This week on Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by Kris Ingersoll (Media/Lit, Batman By The Numbers) to talk about the 1990 World's Finest miniseries! We dig into how this story redefined the dynamic between Superman and Batman, the tone of early '90s DC, and why this team-up still holds up decades later. #MenOfSteelPod #WorldsFinest #Superman #Batman #DCComics #ComicsPodcast #KrisIngersoll Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/CertainPOVMedia Men of Steel Full Episode Originally aired: December 5, 2025 Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Scored by Geoff Moonen Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

Topic: The 1990 DC Comics miniseries World's Finest by Dave Gibbons and Steve Rood. Contextual Background of the 1990 World's Finest (02:51 - 05:34) The miniseries releases shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's Man of Steel reboot (1986). Post-Dark Knight Returns, Batman and Superman's relationship had changed, characterized by distance rather than camaraderie. ️ Plot Overview (05:34 - 08:14) Lex Luthor and Joker team up to take over Gotham and Metropolis with intertwined but largely separate schemes. Batman and Superman investigate, culminating in events involving an orphanage, a nuclear reactor, and city-wide explosions. Decompression and Story Structure Critique (08:14 - 11:34) Discussion of story pacing issues: The narrative is elongated with side elements (e.g., orphan kids) that do not cohesively tie in. Emphasis on character moments over tight plotting. Initial Impressions and Artistic Elements (11:34 - 17:59) Chris praises the visual storytelling and art, referencing the use of parallel imagery and distinctive flashback watercolor style. Noted the deliberate design choices to echo Silver Age and Max Fleischer era Superman and early Batman. ‍️ Characterization of Villains and Supporting Cast (17:59 - 30:39) Joker portrayed in a "zany," less menacing mode, more a prankster than murderously malicious. Lex Luthor features a robotic hand and operates like a mob boss, balancing businessman and villain traits. Character Dynamics and Relationships (30:39 - 40:21) Lois Lane and Bruce Wayne's interactions highlight mutual suspicion and gradual respect. Batman and Superman's knowledge of each other's secret identities is subtle initially, revealed more overtly in third issue. ️ Themes and Continuity Notes (40:21 - 50:27) Orphanage is a thematic midpoint between Gotham and Metropolis, symbolizing shared orphan backgrounds of Batman, Superman, and villain. The book emphasizes orphans and legacy but does not fully develop these thematic elements. Technical and Artistic Praise (50:27 - 52:58) Art and character design praised for classic yet fresh look; great use of tableau pages showing Gotham and Metropolis. Noted the Batmobile's stylish design and Batman's athletic, sleek physique. Character in Action: Batman and Superman (52:58 - 59:55) Batman characterized as efficient, brutal, and action-focused. His use of Batarangs and disguises recognized as authentic. Superman rendered as powerful but more grounded Burn era 'cop,' balancing investigative journalism and heroic strength. Artistic and Thematic Highlights (59:55 - 01:09:46) Memorable moments include Superman carrying a nuclear reactor into space to save Metropolis. Subtle details such as Clark Kent's mannerisms and investigative approach noted. Overall Assessment and Legacy (01:09:46 - 01:14:36) The miniseries serves as a valuable snapshot of Batman and Superman dynamics post-Crisis and pre-mid-90s crossovers. While the narrative is considered "vibes-over-story," the series offers essential character moments, iconic imagery, and era-specific continuity. Conclusion and Promotions (01:14:36 - 01:19:44) Guests share social media handles and podcast info. Hosts plug "Trade School" podcast and Certain POV Discord for further comic discussions.

In this episode of C3, hosts Courtney Groskin and Sandy Heiser welcome Joy De Los Santos, a special education coach with over 20 years of experience who now co-leads an instructional coaching team supporting nine districts. Joy discusses her journey into coaching, practical strategies for overwhelmed teachers—including prioritizing high-impact supports and using visuals like visual schedules—and the importance of using data to guide decisions and build common ground among teams. The conversation highlights what true inclusion looks like (access, engagement, and respectful peer interaction), leadership coaching to build capacity, and real coaching wins that helped teachers feel empowered and improved student outcomes.     In this episode: Courtney and Sandy share highlights from facilitating Day 5 of the Cognitive Coaching Foundation Seminar, celebrating the energy and dedication of their 35-person cohort. They discuss the transformative power of coaching conversations, including a moment where a 20-minute planning conversation left a participant feeling empowered and energized. Featured Guest: Joy de los Santos Joy brings over 20 years of experience in special education, working with students from early childhood through high school. She now co-leads an instructional coaching team across nine districts, supporting educators in building inclusive and supportive classrooms for students with disabilities. Key Takeaways from Joy: Her journey into special education coaching grew from supporting teachers and students while reducing high turnover rates and increasing inclusive practices. When teachers feel overwhelmed by IEP requirements or diverse learner needs, Joy recommends strategies that support multiple students across contexts to maximize impact with sustainable effort. Collaboration and alignment are essential: she emphasizes using data as a neutral tool to guide team decisions and resolve differing perspectives. For Joy, a truly inclusive classroom means all students have access, engagement, and respect for differences, not just physical placement in the classroom. Memorable coaching impact: supporting a veteran special education teacher to feel confident and effective with a challenging student population—demonstrating the power of coaching for teachers at any career stage. Rapid-Fire Tips from Joy: One strategy every coach should have: Visual supports, especially visual schedules, to support student independence and classroom management. Advice for new teachers: Feeling unsure is normal. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and no one has all the answers—especially early in your career.

Have you ever just known you'd be great at something—even if you've never tried it? This episode of The JB and Sandy Show kicks off with that provocative question, sparking a hilarious and heartfelt roundtable about hidden talents, wild confidence, and the art of believing in yourself. JB claims he'd be a city champion in pickleball without ever stepping on a court, while Sandy insists he could land a plane by sheer logic alone. Tricia ups the ante, declaring, “I think I'd kill it diffusing a bomb. I've seen all the action movies. It's red wire, blue wire, black wire. You don't cross them.” The laughter is contagious, and the banter is pure gold. The show dives into Austin's latest accolade—ranked #8 on the list of America's most fun cities. But is Austin as fun now as it was in the wild days of the late ‘90s? The hosts reminisce about spontaneous lake days, bowling alley adventures, and the changing culture of nightlife (“Back in the day, everyone was smoking cigars at Cedar Street, floating on the lake, watching traffic go by going, we made it.”). The nostalgia is real, but so is the reflection on how festivals, family, and community keep Austin's spirit alive. Holiday traditions and family dynamics take center stage as Sandy and Tricia debate the adult Christmas list dilemma. Is the magic gone when you just send a link to your Amazon wish list? “You wanted to be surprised, but yet you would have been disappointed if you didn't get exactly what you sent.” The conversation turns to the wisdom of parents, the rules of gift-giving, and the universal truth: “Just show up and be nice to your mom. If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.” Memorable moments abound, from JB's confession that he'd be a great youth sports coach (“How hard can it be?”) to Sandy's mom's legendary warning: “When I got up this morning, I got one nerve left and damn it if you didn't just get on it.”The episode wraps with a call to action—“Do us a solid and copy and paste the link to this episode and send it to a friend or two.

Nope. That's the stuff of nightmares.”“If I'd had Vyvanse in college, I'd be president of the United States. The world, Sandy. I would.”With their signature banter and relatable stories, Sandy and Tricia turn everyday moments into laugh-out-loud entertainment.

HT2456 - The Most Memorable Photographs of our Age Time has a way of filtering out the unimportant. Think back 500 years ago. We don't remember local politics, but we do remember the great art from that era. What will people, 500 years from now, look back at our era and find most remarkable? I'll guarantee you it won't be your work or my work, nor even the photographs of the masters like Ansel Adams or Edward Weston. No, they will look back at the images the astronauts captured while on the moon, the Voyager, Cassini, and Juno expeditions to the distant planets, the Hubble and Webb telescope images of distant galaxies.

Memorable duo Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) ranked fifth in the list of disastrous romances as Rafe's inability to maintain a stable relationship played out yet again. Arnold Feniger's (Galen Gering) scheming added to their woes, leading to an unfortunate split. Dramatic twists ensued as Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Ava Vitali's (Tamara Braun) romance was sabotaged by Brady's daughter, Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). DOOL fans saw EJ DiMera's (Dan Feuerriegel) dubious dealings led to the disintegration of his relationship with Belle Black (Martha Madison), while Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Cat Greene's (AnnaLynne McCord) romance was undermined by family pressures and past deceptions.  Days of our Lives fans suggest the worst couple of the year award goes to Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) who, despite their brief liaison, caused a ripple of chaos in Salem. Sophia's obsession with Tate and her underhand tactics to keep him away from Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis), including a surprise pregnancy and falsified adoption, made their relationship the most toxic of 2025 on the Peacock soap opera.   The Soap Dirt podcast made the Top 100 List for Apple Podcast's Entertainment News Category.

Have you ever felt stuck in a love relationship that wasn't working? Maybe you were straining and striving to make it work. Maybe you felt like it was all on your shoulders -- all your responsibility to "fix" it. Or maybe you were afraid of what would happen if it went away. Would she make it? Would you?There are concrete reasons why it's hard for men in particular to let go of romantic relationships (whether marriages or other long-term committed relationships) that are no longer fulfilling.Here we delve into 8 specific reasons why it's hard for men to answer questions like:"Why do I feel so stuck in my marriage?""How do I fix my marriage?""What do I do if I'm unhappy but feel obligated to stay?""What can I do to make my marriage better?""How do I get my wife to want me again?"---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

Guest: Danielle De Pillis, MS Neuroscience, C-IAYT (12 Petals Wellness)Danielle De Pillis joins Amy from South Minneapolis for a clear-eyed conversation about chronic pain, interoception, and why “sending someone to yoga class” is not the same as yoga therapy. Danielle traces her arc from high-pressure ad agency life into a years-long recovery that rewired her relationship with her body—then back into graduate study in neuroscience at King's College London to understand the brain networks behind what she and her clients were experiencing. This is a grounded dialogue where ancient yoga maps (kośas, guṇas, abhyāsa/vairāgya) meet modern neuroscience and trauma-informed care.Listen forHow chronic sciatic pain (without injury) resolved through tiny, breath-led movements and attention trainingWhy interoception (insula-based networks) is the missing link across PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disordersThe limits of protocols: why yoga therapy must meet the person—not the diagnosisPractical strategies for “sitting is the new smoking” workplacesUsing Yoga Nidra and micro-practices to “bring a region back online” and rebuild brain–body connectionsTrauma-informed considerations for healthcare and why telehealth lowers barriers for clients with PTSDKey ideas & takeawaysPain is a messenger, not a verdict. When we treat it like data, we can adapt habit loops (workload, sitting time, emotional patterns like anger), not just tissues.Attention before ambition. Danielle's recovery hinged on “microscopic movements, breath, mudrā, and curiosity”—a living example of abhyāsa (steady practice) and vairāgya (non-grasping).Interoception is foundational. Many clients say “I'm fine” until they close their eyes and notice otherwise. Building interoceptive literacy (Yoga Nidra body scan, slow breath, graded exposure to sensation) is therapy.No one-size-fits-all. Back pain, for example, can stem from different drivers (biomechanical load, overthinking/rumination, shock/trauma, life stress). Assessment across the pañca-maya kośa clarifies which lever to pull first.Healthcare and gym yoga. A doctor's “try yoga” often misfires; yoga therapy (or therapeutic yoga) individualizes, paces, and is trauma-informed.Maintenance is the path. Bodies require lifelong tending. Danielle uses movement “snacks,” nature walks, and between-client resets—little choices that keep systems regulated.Practical practices mentioned (try these)Micro-movement + breath: Choose one joint/region that feels “offline.” Explore 1–2 minutes of tiny ranges with smooth nasal breath and curiosity. Stop well before pain.Yoga Nidra, targeted: If you consistently “drop out” during a specific body region, create a 10-minute Nidra just for that side/area to rebuild signal.Workday resets: Every 45–60 minutes, stand, walk a block, or do 2–3 shapes while the kettle boils.Green-space therapy: Daily time in nature to shift autonomic state toward safety and restoration.Memorable quotes“Attention is where it's at. People say ‘mindfulness,' but what changed me was attention—and curiosity.” —Danielle“What got disconnected along the way? That's the puzzle yoga therapy helps clients solve.” —Amy“We're not treating a protocol; we're meeting a person, this week.” —DanielleAbout our guestDanielle De Pillis is a yoga therapist and neuroscience-informed practitioner based in Minneapolis.

Ever feel like you're running on empty? Sam and Jeff are finally taking that much-needed break, with Sam jetting off to the Dominican Republic for some well-deserved rest (because apparently saying you'll take breaks and actually taking them are two different things).But before the vacation, there was Miles' birthday dinner at Prescott Provisions. The strip steaks with roasted fingerling potatoes were excellent, and the brown butter pistachio cake with sea salt caramel gelato? Memorable. Though the server's oddly dismissive attitude did put a damper on the evening.Between falling asleep during the Bills game and a weekend of pure junk food indulgence—mac and cheese, pizza, Doritos, the works—they somehow squeezed in two gym sessions and caught a Buffalo Sabres hockey game where the team actually scored. From theater talk about how Broadway's Wicked outshines the movie to praising the turkey club wrap at Wellington Pub, this week was packed. They also dive into some compelling entertainment recommendations, including the documentary Girl in the Picture and the Netflix series The Beast in Me starring Claire Danes.

In this conversation with entrepreneur and outsourcing leader Carmen Williams, we unpack the moment she walked into work, felt a physical “no” in her stomach, and quit her job that same day. No plan, no runway, no strategy deck—just bravery born from clarity.This episode isn't about hustle culture. It's about permission—to pivot, to shrink your life, to rebuild your identity, and to stop performing your way into burnout.We explore why corporate stability is an illusion, why minimalism creates freedom, how virtual teams scale your capacity, and why the “first hire fantasy” founders chase is usually wrong.We also talk about life after collapse—the rebirth that happens when you stop clinging to the version of yourself that was built to survive, not thrive.No hype. Just the quiet courage of starting over.TL;DR* The brave pivot: Carmen quit her job in one day after realizing life is short and fear is expensive.* Job security is riskier than entrepreneurship: One employer = one point of failure.* Minimalism is leverage: Less stuff, lower burn rate, fewer emergencies.* Founders hire the wrong “clone”: You don't need another visionary—you need a steady executor.* AI + VAs is the winning combo: AI increases the demand for great operators; it doesn't replace them (yet).* Saying “no” builds more trust than yes: Filtering clients improves ROI and reputation.What we unpack1. The moment you stop pretending you have timeCarmen's turning point came when her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness—20 years older than her. Mortality compresses priorities.She realized: “If I knew I had 20 years left, would I stay here?”Her answer was a clean no.2. The illusion of corporate safetyDoug reflects on climbing into bigger houses and bigger bills—only to realize everything you own also owns a piece of you.Entrepreneurs face volatility monthly.Employees face catastrophe suddenly.Pick your pain.3. Minimalism as a business strategyDoug downsized from 3,800 sq ft → 560 sq ft.Less space. Fewer things. More intention.The easy life is the one with fewer dependencies.4. Why founders hire the wrong personalityEntrepreneurs imagine a “mini-me” assistant—someone spontaneous, creative, high-initiative.What they need is the opposite:A detail-driven operator who finishes what the founder starts.5. How Carmen accidentally built a 100-person outsourcing companyShe hired VAs for her own consulting practice.People kept asking for help.She kept saying no—until the market refused to let her.No website. No pitch deck. Twenty VAs anyway.6. Why AI doesn't replace VAs—it amplifies themHer teams use AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.Training loops, outside experts, and self-directed learning have made her VAs more valuable—not redundant.Memorable lines* “If you only have one income stream, you don't have stability—you have a trap.”* “Minimalism isn't aesthetic.

In this episode, we use cybersecurity as a lens to expose a truth that every leader forgets: the biggest threats to your company are the ones you can't see—until they take you down.Scott's career mirrors the evolution of tech itself—from software stores in the '80s to early network integration, to building one of the original managed services models before “MSP” was even a phrase. His latest book, Visible Ops for Cybersecurity, reframes the discipline not as an IT function, but as a visibility function: if you can't see it, you can't secure it… and if you can't secure it, you can't scale it.We break down why ransomware is now franchised, why even the best companies get breached, why cyber insurance is becoming a false safety net, and why every founder—yes, even a team-of-one startup—needs a security-first mindset.This isn't fear-mongering. It's leadership.TL;DR* Assume breach. The #1 mistake founders make is believing they're “too small” to be a target.* Backups are not backups unless they're encrypted, immutable, and air-gapped.* Cyber insurance is not protection—44% of claims were denied in 2024.* Reinvention is mandatory. Tech evolves, threats evolve, your systems must evolve.* Visibility beats bravado. Most failures come from what leaders think is secure, not what actually is.Memorable lines* “Security by obscurity died the day ransomware became a franchise.”* “If the best cybersecurity companies get hacked, your only strategy is resilience.”* “Backups aren't safety—they're hope, unless they're air-gapped.”* “Reinvention isn't optional in tech—it's the price of staying alive.”* “Make the invisible visible, or the invisible will make the decision for you.”Key Ideas We Unpack1. Reinvention as a Survival SkillScott turned retail software into network integration, then into managed services, then into cybersecurity leadership.The pattern:Visibility → Competence → Reinvention.Most founders skip the first step and collapse at the third.2. The Modern Threat Landscape Is IndustrializedRansomware now has:* franchises* training* support hotlines* experts who “close the deal” when an amateur hacker gets stuckThis is organized crime with a customer-service department.3. Backups Are the New LifeboatsThreat actors sit inside systems for 60–365 days before triggering an attack.If your backups are not:* encrypted* immutable* air-gappedyou don't have backups—you have illusions.4. Cyber Insurance Is Becoming a Mirage44% of claims denied.Policies are unregulated.Exclusions keep growing.Insurance is no longer a plan—it's paperwork.5. The Startup Founder Version of CybersecurityIf you're a team of one, your mantra is simple:Be good to your future self.Design tools, workflows, and systems with a security-first mindset from day one.The cheapest hack is the one that never becomes possible.6. Visibility Is a Leadership HabitYou can't manage what you can't see.And almost everything that destroys a business—breaches, failures, slow decay, talent risk—starts in the invisible layer.GuestScott Aldridge — President & CEO of IP Services.Cybersecurity author, technologist, MSSP leader, and early pioneer of managed services.Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-alldridge-1a976/Website: https://ipservices.com/Why This MattersMost founders underestimate risk because they overestimate visibility.If you want a business that survives the next decade, the job is simple:Design for resilience.Assume breach.Back up reality, not hope.Reinvent before the market forces you to.And make the invisible visible—before someone else does.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

How many hundreds of miles would you travel for great sex?Some of the hottest sexual experiences are some of the least-expected. Sometimes that has to do with location, and sometimes it has to do with ropes and corsets.

Some of what we say may surprise you! And some may be things you've always wondered about. Included topics: going down on her, blow jobs for him, domination play, and jumping off (this is not what you think but definitely worth hearing about!).When it comes to dating and relationships, stand-out sex is a big part of it -- but what that looks like is sometimes unanticipated.---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

"Is opportunity really always there—or do you have to be listening for it to knock?" That's the question Kent Hance poses as he opens this episode, setting the stage for a journey through Texas legends, political intrigue, and stories of resilience that only the best storyteller in Texas can deliver. In this episode, Kent Hance shares unforgettable tales from his time in the Lone Star State, weaving together personal anecdotes and historical insights. Listeners will meet characters like Fastball Walker, whose nickname outlived his real name, and CQ Brown, the first African American to head a branch of the U.S. military, whose rise through the ranks was marked by bipartisan respect and a unanimous Senate confirmation vote. Hance dives deep into the complexities of political appointments, revealing the behind-the-scenes battles between the White House and the Senate, and the personal toll these processes take. He reflects on the Supreme Court nomination wars, the brutal Kavanaugh hearings, and the shifting landscape of American politics. Notable moments include Hance's recollection of attending a state dinner with President Reagan and Anwar Sadat, and his friendship with the Crown Prince of Iran during his flying lessons at Texas Tech. Memorable quotes abound, such as: "Opportunity's always there. You gotta be listening for it to knock." "You can take a bad situation and make it something that's really positive." "LBJ will twist your arm so badly to get you to vote for something that you don't realize it didn't break your arm, it ruins your career." Themes of perseverance, the power of reputation, and the impact of political decisions on everyday lives run throughout the episode. Hance's storytelling brings history to life, making listeners feel as if they're right there in the room with presidents, generals, and Texas legends.
