Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). We had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to talk about Hermeneutics, the study of interpreting the Bible. Dr. Coakley is a professor of Bible at MBI and a current elder with the 180 Chicago church. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also had Dr. Sanjay Merchant join us to break down the divinity of the Trinity. Dr. Merchant is a former atheist turned believer and professor of Theology at MBI. He also teaches Apologetics and Philosophy and has three Master’s degrees in Apologetics, Philosophy, and Theology, and a doctorate that focuses on the Trinity. We then turned to the phone lines to ask the question, "What did God help you to see most clearly, that you couldn't see before?" We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and “removes the veil”. We see this in 2 Corinthians 3:12-17, where it talks about the veil being a covering over the mind of those who are without Christ and how it is only removed when we turn to Him. We then had Sydney Swenson join us to share about the upcoming admissions event, “Experience Moody.” Sydney is the Admissions Operations Manager for MBI in Chicago. She organizes all of the campus visits and “Experience Moody” events, and the next one is September 26, 2025. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We sit down with Dr. Ken Atchity at his home in California. Ken started his adult life on an academic stream and he eventually became what he personally dreaded: a tenured professor. But, shortly after his tenure-ship, he decided to breakup with his career and start anew. Already an author, Ken decided to write screenplays and produce films – not ever looking back for over 30 years. as been producing films since 1996. We talk about his thoughts on competition, creativity and what it hinges on, doing great work in isolation and how he turned around his accountant dad to seeing the freedom and beauty in insecurity. We talk staring at fire and mountains, dying by committee, the perfection of Dante's Divine Comedy, chopping wood – and the Rose Café. Seeing the David before carving it. Go back in time to see our early episodes with like-minded luminaries who embrace Ken's philosophy: Kenneth Oppal (ep 106), Mike Narducci (ep 24), Steve Litchman (ep 36), Matt Larochelle (ep 30) and Tim Kring (ep 52).

Alcibiades leads his troops past Timon's hideout in the wilderness, prompting a barrage of insults and mockery from the malcontent. But when Timon learns Alcibiades is planning to take over Athens, he gives him gold to support the campaign. Alcibiades is followed by the Poet and Painter, who Timon turns away with another barrage of insults. When thieves come to rob him, Timon cheers them on, baffling their efforts and sending them to the city to sow chaos in the streets. The Senators are the last to arrive. Flavia heads them off in an effort to win Timon over to their side before they meet.

Timon leaves Athens with his curses, strips himself bare and goes into the wilderness. As hunger sets in, he digs for a root to eat and discovers a pile of gold hidden underground. Apemantus finds Timon lamenting his fate and scolds him for being an undeserving misanthrope, telling him to come back to Athens. Timon refuses, setting off an argument between them. Apemantus finally leaves Timon and returns to Athens, where the citizens are growing increasingly unruly over the high taxes and prices they're paying as Alcibiades launches his offensive against the city. When Apemantus announces that he's found Timon with a trove of coins, the Artist, the Painter and the Senators head for the hills to get some of Timon's gold.

Why the Las Vegas Aces' Dominance over the W is Over with The Athletic's Sabreena Merchant on Becky Hammon's Legacy, Caitlin Clark, and Player Safety In this episode of Hoopsology, we welcome back Sabreena Merchant, WNBA staff writer for The Athletic, to chat about the most pressing topics shaping the 2025 WNBA season, including;

I got the idea for this episode talking to a bartender in Prague. The place was empty, and the fellow was garrulous and quickly said he loved American history, which naturally prompted me to suggest a podcast where he could find some. The barkeep called my bluff – “did I know who Augustine Herrman was?” Uh, noooo. It turns out he was a Bohemian – now we would say Czech – from Prague who became one of the wealthiest and most influential men in mid-17th century English and Dutch America, particularly in New Netherland and Maryland. He would live and trade in the early colonies for more than 40 years before his death in Maryland in 1686, and such diverse characters as Pieter Stuyvesant and Lord Baltimore would rely on him for their most sensitive diplomatic matters. Most famously, Herrman would draw the most detailed map of the Chesapeake Bay, at a time when maps were evidence in the settling of disputes between empires. Hermann's map would, among other things, determine the border between Virginia and Maryland on the Eastern Shore, and – through twists and turns – play a role in the establishment of the colony of Delaware. The Czechs are understandably proud of Augustine Herrman, so in gratitude to that bartender and his surprising knowledge of 17th century America, this episode is about Herrman, through the story of his map.

Sir Gregory Doran is the former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He spent a total of thirty five years with the RSC directing fifty productions in the UK and abroad. He's been called “one of the great Shakespeareans of his age” and has won multiple awards for his work.Born in 1958, Greg was brought up near Preston and played a number of female Shakespeare roles when he was a young pupil attending an all-boys secondary school. He went on to study English and Drama at Bristol University followed by a stint studying classical acting at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. After a few bit parts in TV sitcoms and a spell at Nottingham Playhouse, Sir Greg decided that he would prefer to carve out a career as a director. He went on to stage some of the most critically acclaimed theatre productions – including an all-black cast of Julius Caesar and took Titus Andronicus to South Africa.More recently, he has been touring the globe on his Shakespeare's First Folio tour to look at as many different copies of the texts as possible. He survives his husband, the actor Sir Anthony Sher whom he met in 1987 whilst they were both part of a production of the Merchant of Venice at the RSC in Stratford.

After reviewing Parts 1, 2 and 3, we continue with Rebbe Nachman's classic tale, which hints at the frustrating efforts of the true Messiah to reveal himself. But in the end, it will all be good.

Hour 1 opens with Kim on a Whim reacting to Brittney Griner's viral interview about her time in a Russian prison—and her noticeably deeper voice. Marc and Kim slam the media's fawning coverage, rehash the botched prisoner swap with the “Merchant of Death,” and mock Griner's alleged shade toward Caitlin Clark. The conversation shifts to Hollywood elites like Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell who threatened to leave the U.S. when Trump won—something only multimillionaires can afford to do. Kim warns that liberal transplants are flooding red states like Montana, ruining them with progressive policies. The hour wraps with breaking local news: former Wentzville School Superintendent Dr. Danielle Tormala has been charged with DWI and several other offenses in Chesterfield after receiving a $1 million taxpayer-funded exit deal. Marc slams local media for ignoring the case and demands transparency.

In Kim on a Whim, Kim reacts to Brittney Griner's bizarre Russian prison story and deep voice, sparking a no-holds-barred discussion with Marc about Griner's viral interviews, her controversial prisoner swap for the “Merchant of Death,” and her alleged comments targeting Caitlin Clark. The segment shifts to blast liberal elites like Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell who fled the U.S. over Trump—but only because their millions let them live in luxury abroad. Kim and Marc torch the hypocrisy of left-wing celebrities trashing America while ordinary Americans can't afford to just pack up and leave. They also highlight the threat of progressive transplants ruining red states like Montana, bringing failed blue-state politics with them and destroying what made those states great in the first place.

At least two people in this story are getting their just desserts.In this episode, we head to Seattle to revisit one of The Dead Files' early cases—This time, Amy and AP dive into "Burned Alive", where a bar owner is dealing with vengeful mist creatures, a bathroom ghost, a possibly syphilitic protector spirit, and a religious woman ghost named Mary whose touch can literally kill you.

Who's ready for another road trip? Pack up the Ope, A Ghost Van because we're headed to the Emerald City itself: Seattle, WA. We have several stops to make, but a few of them include the Owl N' Thistle Pub where an elusive piano player tickles the ivories when no one is looking. Then we'll stop at the Merchant's Café where portraits move on their own and a lady of the night whispers in the ears of unsuspecting male patrons. Finally, we'll end at the historic Cadillac Hotel where the ghosts of merchants, prospectors, and a crying woman haunt the halls of the upper floors. It's going to be a long drive, so bring a book. And this time, please go to the bathroom before we leave. Jonathan gets cranky if we have to stop before we've left the state.

In this episode, Rehman Baig, Chief Product Officer at FlexFactor joins Drew Edmond to talk about how FlexFactor is rethinking payments optimization through a Merchant of Record model. For most people in the industry, “Merchant of Record” is usually associated with global tax compliance and marketplaces, not optimization. But FlexFactor is using it to directly address failed payments and auth rate challenges in a way that merchants simply can't do on their own. This is a fascinating conversation for anyone working to solve performance issues at scale, especially if your team has ever looked at your decline rate and said, “We've tried everything. What now?”

In a world where payments have evolved from a back-office utility into a strategic business driver, how do you build a platform that truly puts control back into the hands of merchants? On this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Dwaine Thomas, CIO of PXP, to explore how the company is transforming the payment landscape with its next generation platform, PXP Unity. PXP has been a force in fintech for over 30 years, processing over €30 billion in payments annually for some of the world's most recognised retail, hospitality, entertainment, and online gaming brands. But rather than rely on legacy systems, PXP has gone all in on greenfield development with PXP Unity, a fully API driven orchestration platform that enables merchants to plug into the services they need without the complexity of managing the entire payment stack. Dwaine walked me through how Unity empowers businesses with real-time data aggregation, smart routing, and complete transparency, all delivered through an intuitive interface. He also shared how the platform supports seamless scaling during high-demand periods, like Black Friday, and provides merchants with both control and automation to optimise payment performance across channels. What stood out was the clear shift in mindset. Sixty-four percent of merchants now view payments as a growth enabler, not just a necessity. With Unity, merchants gain the flexibility to adapt strategies on the fly, personalise the payment experience, and align payments with broader business goals. We also explored the growing role of AI in PXP's roadmap, from driving development efficiencies to enabling future use cases like AI agents within payment flows. As regulation evolves, Dwaine highlighted how initiatives like the FCA's AI sandbox point to a more proactive and structured approach to innovation in the payments space. So how can enterprises unlock new value from their payments infrastructure? How do you build for performance, resilience, and adaptability in equal measure? And what happens when payments become central to customer experience and brand loyalty? Tune in to hear how PXP is answering those questions with technology that is both powerful and practical.

Anthony Edwards needs to step up and can get the T-wolves a win if he takes more shots. Michael Malone takes a dig at Nikola Jokic, but SGA is the real MVP.
