Podcasts about MIC

This week starts with a joint, a conversation about why joints canoe, and somehow ends up exploring modern dating, loneliness, friendship, community, and why so many people feel disconnected despite being more connected than ever.  We talk about the kind of cannabis events we'd actually want to attend, why sharing a joint creates a different kind of social experience, and how cannabis seems to naturally bring people together in ways alcohol often doesn't.  Along the way we get into dating culture, texting versus phone calls, voice memos, building meaningful connections, and Brandon's growing passion project around helping people find community instead of just another app or service.  It's one of those episodes where the strain is great, but the conversation is the real reason you stayed.Why LA Pop Rocks keeps becoming a favorite daytime smokeThe trick to preventing joints from canoeingCannabis date nights and infused dinner ideasWhy sharing cannabis feels different than sharing alcoholCreating spaces where people can actually connectNerd nights, D&D, gaming, cosplay, and finding your peopleAziz Ansari's Modern Romance and what dating has becomeWhy younger generations hate phone callsThe rise of voice memos and why we love themBuilding tools instead of creating dependencyLoneliness, community, and what we've lost sociallyGym motivation, aging, testosterone, and staying healthyCorvette slander (sorry, not sorry)People aren't necessarily lacking options.They're lacking connection.We've built a world where you can instantly talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Yet a lot of people still feel isolated, unseen, and disconnected. The answer probably isn't another app. It might just be more real conversations, more shared experiences, and more reasons to sit across from another human being and actually get to know them.  A good joint is great.A good conversation is better.And when you can get both at the same time, that's where the magic tends to happen. Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is once again coming this August. This is the place where over 3,800 individual shows - yes - 3 thousand, 800 of them - will take place during the full month in what is billed as a global arts celebration. Last year the Fringe - as the locals call it - featured 53,942 performances over 301 venues with participants from 68 countries with 2.6 million in ticket sales. How good is that? So good that we are diving in to find out all about it with four of the upcoming performers: Liz Coin, Max Davidson, Brendon Lemon and Kristina Libby. We are talking everything from one-person shows to stand-up comedy to magic and illusionists, what it means to them to take part in this festival, and how the arts bring us all together in the best way possible. Grab your seat, the lights are dimming, as the festival is about to begin... This episode is Part 1 of 3 in a series. _______________________ Sunday July 12 - grab your seat to SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

In this special episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we're continuing our series featuring highlights from Bill Vanderbush's message at the CIM Conference.What if healing isn't something you're trying to get from God, but something you're becoming aware of? What if spiritual authority looks more like confidence in Christ's victory than striving against darkness? And what if the greatest key to seeing God's power flow through your life is simply learning to let yourself be loved?In this message, Bill shares powerful stories of healing, explores the victory of Christ over fear and darkness, and unpacks a beautiful vision of union with God rooted in the early church fathers. Along the way, he challenges achievement-based spirituality and invites us into a life of rest, wholeness, and awareness of God's presence.00:00 - Introduction to Bill Vanderbush02:21 - Healing Begins with Wholeness04:24 - St. Anthony and Spiritual Authority08:13 - Stories of Extraordinary Healing11:40 - The Healing Service That Needed No Sermon15:48 - The Secret of Unhindered Power17:45 - Nine Months Without a Miracle19:40 - Get Your Eyes Off the Problem21:36 - When They Forgot About the Sick23:48 - The Sound and Frequency of God25:37 - Why God Speaks26:48 - Chasing the Wind and Finding Rest27:25 - The Heartbeat of God29:30 - Creator Becomes Creation30:03 - Athanasius vs. Arius33:27 - Grace vs. Achievement34:17 - The Problem with Distance Theology35:45 - Christ in You, Union Within37:05 - Inviting God In vs. Living in Union38:05 - Falling Into Grace

What happens when a strain smells like a bag of candy, smokes smooth over a year after packaging, and somehow leaves a minty little surprise on the finish?This week we're breaking down LA Pop Rocks, a flavorful indica-leaning strain that caught us off guard with its balance. It delivers sweet fruit-forward aromas, a surprisingly smooth smoke, and effects that feel social, relaxing, and uplifting without immediately gluing you to the couch.  We dig into the genetics, terpene profile, flavor notes, and why this one became an easy recommendation for daytime or evening use if you're looking for relaxation without feeling completely checked out. We also wander into road trip philosophy, dating events, Mario Kart drinking games, and the strange ways cannabis tends to make conversations go places you never expected.  Breaking down LA Pop Rocks and our first impressionsSweet candy, fruit, cheese, and mint flavor notesWhy this flower stayed sticky and fresh long after packagingGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z AnimalTerpenes: Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and HumuleneEffects: Euphoric, uplifting, social, and relaxingWhy Brandon keeps reaching for heavier indicas latelyCannabis vs alcohol in social settingsRoad trips as the ultimate compatibility testThe dating event idea we'd actually like to see happenStrain: LA Pop RocksGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z Animal Dominant Terpenes:Beta-CaryophylleneLimoneneHumulene  Reported Effects:EuphoriaRelaxationIncreased sociabilityUplifted moodMinimal couch lock  Flavor Notes:Sweet candyFruityLight cheese funkMinty finish  LA Pop Rocks is a good reminder that “indica” doesn't always mean sleepy. This one delivered calm, conversation, and relaxation while still leaving plenty of room to function and stay engaged.

Are we all just living in a Ferris Bueller sequel? In this episode of 2 Men with a Mic, Mike and Mitch dive deep into how technology is rewiring our world—from the normalization of constant call recording to the wild reality of AI-generated Father's Day comic books. The guys break down the real impact of AI on creativity, jobs, and why it might just be the modern-day equivalent of Uber. Plus, things get a little sci-fi as they look at why AI "lies" (shoutout to 2010: A Space Odyssey ) and test a system with contradictory commands.Stick around for the chaos as they also tackle:Political deep-dives: Inside the Lincoln Memorial secrets, Melania Trump's public statements, and the "deep state."High school high jinks: How they manipulated the attendance system, maintained top grades, and deeply annoyed their ex-hippie science teacher.Nostalgia hits: The passage of time, Dodgers fandom, and why high school feels so big but means so little.Your homework for this week? Go watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Happy Father's Day!

What if the Ten Commandments aren't about restriction, but about relationship?In this message, we explore the first four of God's "Ten Words" and discover how they are not merely rules to obey, but an invitation into a life of freedom, wisdom, trust, and flourishing. From the Garden of Eden to Mount Sinai, we trace the biblical story of God's desire to lead humanity back to the Tree of Life through covenant relationship.Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will challenge you to rethink the commandments as a pathway back to the life God always intended.Join us as we discover how God's wisdom leads us from slavery to freedom, from striving to rest, and from fear to flourishing.For sermon notes please visit "Sermon notes" section on the MIC website: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-10-Commandments-Week-1-A-Life-of-Freedom-and-Flourishing-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

This week's Sesh starts with a simple idea: stories shape everything.The way we see the world, the people we trust, the beliefs we hold, and even the things we're willing to fight over usually come down to the stories we've accepted as true. Sometimes those stories help us make sense of reality. Sometimes they become the thing that keeps us from seeing it clearly.  From there, we wander through government distrust, politics, religion, media narratives, community, forgiveness, personal responsibility, and the challenge of trying to understand people who see the world completely differently than we do.  We talk about why people can look at the exact same event and walk away with completely different conclusions. We explore how identity influences belief, how perception shapes reality, and why it's becoming harder for people to have conversations without immediately dividing themselves into teams.  Along the way we get into Christianity, Mormonism, race, forgiveness, political tribalism, human behavior, and the idea that every person is carrying their own version of reality based on the experiences that shaped them.  As usual, we don't solve any of the world's problems.But we definitely spend some time poking at them.

Host Jo Reed talks with Kirkus young readers' editor Laura Simeon about three middle-grade audiobooks that explore difficult subjects with honesty, empathy, and respect for young listeners. In Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, narrator Emma Ladji brings warmth and steadiness to young Harper's story as she navigates her parents' divorce, shifting friendships, and the rescued horse who becomes central to her new life. Karise Yansen's calm, measured narration of Matthew Fox's The Lovely Dark grounds a lyrical story of grief, loss, and the afterlife in vivid emotional reality. And in Tae Keller's When Tomorrow Burns, a seamless ensemble cast—Eddy Lee, Annie Q. Riegel, Sara Matsui-Colby, Emily Woo Zeller, and Tae Keller—captures the uncertainty and intensity of middle school friendships unfolding against the backdrop of climate anxiety and change. Together, these audiobooks recognize that middle-grade kids confront complicated situations and deserve stories that speak to those uncertainties with honesty and care.   Audiobooks Discussed: Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, read by Emma Ladji (Listening Library)   The Lovely Dark by Matthew Fox, read by Karise Yansen (Hachette Audio)   When Tomorrow Burns by Tae Keller, read by Eddy Lee, Annie Q.

What makes a hotel the best? Not just new, not just beautiful, but worthy of a list that thousands of travelers plan their year around? For Afar senior deputy editor Jennifer Flowers, it comes down to a single test: does this hotel have a story? Not a marketing story—a real one, rooted in the place it sits, the community around it, or the history in its bones. In this episode, Afar editorial director Billie Cohen sits down with Jenn to go behind the scenes of the 2026 Best New Hotels list, one of the biggest the team has ever assembled at 40 properties. Jenn explains how the year-long vetting process actually works (yes, every hotel was personally visited), why she pairs the right writer with the right destination, and what separates a genuine standout from a merely beautiful place to stay. Along the way, Billie and Jenn travel from a nonprofit lodge reachable only by boat or seaplane at the edge of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, to a working dairy farm in Japan's Tohoku region, to a six-suite, solar-powered lodge on regenerating land in South Africa. They dig into the year's biggest themes: the rise of women hoteliers at the founder and CEO level, the surprising number of “new” hotels that are actually painstaking restorations of centuries-old buildings, the reinvention of the all-inclusive, and a growing hunger for ethical access to the world's wild places.

Why is the global sustainability transition failing?In Part 3 of The Extractive Tapestry, we drop the raw data receipts on how the trillion-dollar modern war machine, corporate defense monopolies, and the military-industrial complex (MIC) structurally block renewable energy growth to protect private wealth and infinite expansion.From the 1993 "Last Supper" Pentagon dinner that consolidated our plastic-wrapped, fossil-fuel-dependent lifestyle, to the modern revolving door of defense tech-bros and billionaire WhatsApp groups colluding to crush public dissent—we are pulling back the curtain on the design of the fail.

On today's show, we speak about weird songs that your kids love, we play Grab the Mic and the worst backhanded compliments! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Cosmic Zipper — From Silicon Valley to Telltale Games (00:01 – 04:13) Anne introduces BAFTA award-winning actor Cissy Jones, listing her massive credits across the video game landscape. Cissy shares her unique origin story, starting not in theater, but in the fast-paced venture capital world of Silicon Valley. Despite an early childhood calling to act, she followed corporate expectations until a profound sense of unhappiness led her to a voiceover school. Cissy introduces her concept of the "cosmic zipper"—that beautiful alignment where life clicks together once you finally uncover your true purpose. Within two years of rigorous study, she booked her first massive multi-character rolepacket as Katya in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead. Chapter 2: The Ultimate Boss Move & The Impact of the Mic (04:14 – 07:47) Anne pauses to highlight an incredible tactical move from Cissy's early days: learning how to engineer audioaudio engineer sessions when she couldn't afford a class ticket, allowing her to stay in the casting room and absorb director feedback through osmosis. Cissy highlights her deep appreciation for characters like Lilith in Disney's The Owl House. She recounts emotional fan interactions at Comic-Cons, where parents and children shared how her character's arc helped them process their own queer or neurodivergent identities, reinforcing the true purpose of human storytelling. Chapter 3: Mastering Storytelling & Leaning Into Vulnerability (07:48 – 11:44) Anne asks Cissy what internal mechanics make a voice actor a master storyteller. Cissy credits her willingness to tap deeply into intense, unshielded human emotion on demand. She offers a crucial piece of advice for talent exploring the character and interactive space: when a script calls for real, raw emotion, do not paint over it with cartoony comedy. Voice actors must lean courageously into authentic psychological vulnerability while carefully managing their own mental well-being when a heavy scene leaves them emotionally drained. Chapter 4: The 3-Second Threat & The AI Wake-Up Call (11:45 – 17:31) The conversation turns to advocacy as Cissy recounts a terrifying experience during the 2021 COVID lockdown. Fans alerted her to AI voice clone platforms generating pornographic content using her vocal likeness from The Owl House. When she demanded a takedown, the platforms refused, citing a complete lack of protective voice laws. Cissy breaks down a jarring technological reality: in 2021, creating a believable vocal clone required roughly 10 hours of studio audio; today, it takes just 3 seconds. She highlights why NAVA is actively working with legislators to target security loopholes, citing an experiment where NAVA co-founder Karin Gilfrey successfully bypassed her personal bank security using an AI clone of her own voice. Chapter 5: Ethovox — Creating a Safe Haven Under Lock and Key (17:32 – 24:03) Drawing on her technical venture capital background, Cissy shares why she refused to sit idly by and instead launched her own ethical AI startup called Ethovox. Unlike predatory public marketplaces that ingest and trade off voice talent data, Ethovox operates as a highly secure, private repository. The company explicitly mandates full actor consent, works hand-in-hand with talent agencies to negotiate fair rates, and refuses to sell baseline training data. Cissy reveals a massive boss move: walking away from a lucrative seven-figure institutional funding offer because the investors admitted they did not care if voice actors survived. Chapter 6: The Fight in D.C. & How the VO Community Can Help (24:04 – End) Cissy praises NAVA's leadership—specifically Tim Friedlander, CKarin Gilfrey, and Matthew Parham—for their relentless, bipartisan legislative efforts in Washington, D.C., to pass protections such aspushes in Washington, D.C. to pass protections like the federal No Fakes Act. She stresses that while Washington politicians may not inherently care about actors, they care deeply about cybersecurity risks and digital identity theft affecting their voters. The episode wraps with an urgent call to action for the VO community to support NAVA through membership dues, alongside an invitation to participate in NAVA's annual Day of Play charity streaming event. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Watch for the "Cosmic Zipper": If you are forcing a career path and constantly meeting friction and exhaustion, step back. When you strike the path you were truly meant to walk, the doors lock into place effortlessly. Immerse yourself through service: If you cannot afford premium training starting out, find alternative ways to be in the room. Learn to engineer, edit, or assist so you can witness directing choices and build organic network connections. Storytelling demands real human impact: Vocal mechanics mean absolutely nothing if your performance isn't reaching past the microphone to touch, change, or validate the human experience of the listener. Don't hide behind a cartoon read: When a script asks for deep psychological weight or heavy sorrow, do not soften the blow with safe, performative humor. Stand confidently in your vulnerability. Acknowledge the 3-second reality: Vocal cloning technology requires as little as 3 seconds of pristine audio—meaning your outgoing cell phone voicemail clip is enough to compromise security systems or clone your identity. AI needs ethical boundaries: Innovation cannot be stopped, but it must be met with the three foundational pillars of advocacy: absolute Consent, fair Compensation, and structural Control over personal vocal assets. Protect your core data: Avoid voice AI platforms that treat your unique biological voiceprint as disposable ammunition to train broader, open-source language models. Reputation over revenue: True leaders know when to walk away. Cissy's rejection of a massive seven-figure check because investors devalued human talent is the ultimate blueprint for protecting your personal integrity over a quick paycheck. Bipartisan framing is key in advocacy: When pushing for systemic change or workplace protections, leave personal political ideologies outside the room. Speak directly to staffers about the universal dangers of digital kidnapping, fraud, and corporate IP theft. A rising tide lifts all boats: Success in this industry is never a zero-sum game. There is plenty of room for creative minds to flourish. Lift your peers up, guard each other's rights, and protect the human element.

¿Has notado alguna vez que la piel de un bebé se enrojece o irrita en la zona donde usa el pañal? A esta afección se le conoce como dermatitis del pañal, un problema muy común que provoca inflamación y molestias en la piel de los glúteos, los muslos y los genitales.Por otra parte, cuando pensamos en nuestra salud, pocas veces prestamos atención a la mucosa oral, es decir, a los tejidos que recubren el interior de la boca. Sin embargo, esta zona puede brindar información muy valiosa sobre nuestro estado de salud general. En este podcast de El Expresso de las 10 conoce cómo identificar estas señales y los avances que especialistas compartirán durante el Congreso Internacional de Dermatología DERMAJAL 2026 con la compañia de la Dra.

How do we know when God is leading us? Can the Holy Spirit still guide believers today, or are we simply meant to rely on wisdom and Scripture alone?In the final message of our Welcome Holy Spirit series, we explore one of the most practical and life-changing aspects of the Christian journey: the leading of the Holy Spirit. Through examples from the book of Acts, we discover how the Spirit guided Philip, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and the early church—and what that means for us today.In this message you'll learn:-What it means to "keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25)-How surrender opens the door to God's guidance-Why the Spirit's leading will always align with Scripture-The connection between prayer and spiritual discernment-Why Holy Spirit's guidance is about everyday life, not just major decisionsWhether you're facing a significant life decision or simply wanting to grow closer to God in your daily walk, this message will encourage you to cultivate a deeper awareness of the Spirit's presence and guidance.For sermon notes please visit "Sermon notes" section on the MIC website: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Welcome-Holy-Spirit-Week-6-The-Leading-of-Holy-Spirit-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Beyond 'beans, bullets, and bandaids' is preparing to handle the people you could be cooped up with during a crisis event. Well-vetted survival groups are rare. Families or neighbors are far more common and will be a mixed-bag of stable individuals and those with potentially problematic personalities. Recognizing the issues early and dealing with them can prevent internal conflict from complicating your survival plan. Mic, Brian, and Jeff all watched the movie Lifeboat as a conversation starter about a mixed-bag of survivors. The IMDB listing for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, 1944. Streamable via Amazon Prime.

And this week they're joined by Afar's director of photography, Michelle Heimerman. They share three stories that are making them feel optimistic this week. Stories like... Some genuinely good news for anyone who loves a beach: one of the world's most beach-blessed countries has spent the past decade quietly turning the tide on plastic pollution — and the playbook is more doable than you'd think. A high-altitude adventure that trades the summit selfie for something quieter and more lasting — proof that you can chase a punishing challenge purely for the experience, not the applause. Meet the women rewriting who gets to lead a safari — and why the guides who didn't grow up in the bush might just be the best ones behind the wheel.

Host Jo Reed talks with contributor Leslie Fine about three audiobooks that range from memoir to thriller to literary biography. They begin with Unread: A Memoir of Learning (and Loving) To Read on TikTok by Oliver James, where narrator James Shippy brings warmth and enthusiasm to the author's account of achieving literacy as an adult and discovering the enduring pleasures of books. Then, they turn to Tiffany Crum's This Story Might Save Your Life. Driven by the energetic, emotionally layered narration of Julia Whelan and Sean Patrick Hopkins, its use of podcast clips, voicemail messages, and layered audio production heightens a suspenseful missing-person mystery. And they end with Judy Blume: A Life by Mark Oppenheimer; Molly Ringwald's warm, quietly authoritative narration guides listeners through the career of an author whose books have shaped generations of readers. Together, these audiobooks prove that the right narrator can turn a good story into an irresistible listen.

Mic in nature test 2

Some episodes are educational. Some are deep dives.And then there are episodes like this one where you sit down with a good friend, pass a bowl around, and let the conversation go wherever it wants.  This week we're joined by our buddy Preston Argyle for one of the most random, hilarious, and unexpectedly thoughtful conversations we've had in a while.We talk cannabis, first experiences with weed, ridiculous party stories, religion, community, personal growth, career frustrations, and somehow end up debating the logistics of having an anatomically impossible superpower. Because apparently that's where the conversation needed to go.  What starts as a laid-back smoke session turns into one of those conversations that bounces between laughing so hard your face hurts and accidentally stumbling into something meaningful.Preston's cannabis journey and how he got startedThe difference between alcohol culture and cannabis cultureWild party stories that probably should have ended much worse than they didWhy cannabis became a better fit than drinkingCommunity, religion, and finding connection even when your beliefs evolveThe challenge of staying true to yourself while maintaining relationshipsWork, purpose, and why so many people feel trapped by traditional employmentHow performance and value don't always fit neatly into hourly pay structuresFriendship, growth, and the people who shape our livesSeveral conversations that went completely off the rails in the best possible way  The best conversations rarely follow a script.Sometimes you start by talking about cannabis, take a detour through terrible life decisions, somehow land in philosophy, and come out the other side with a better understanding of yourself and the people around you. That's pretty much this entire episode.  King's Cup stories that escalated way faster than they should haveWhy Preston's experience with cannabis looked different from most peopleA surprisingly honest conversation about faith, community, and belongingBrandon's thoughts on work, productivity, and being measured by outcomes instead of hoursMore laughs than we can reasonably summarize in show notes Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT sit down with neurologist Dr. Kristin Steenerson to unpack Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, also known as 3PD or PPPD.If you feel dizzy, floaty, rocking, disoriented, or visually overwhelmed most days — especially in places like grocery stores, airports, busy restaurants, or while scrolling screens — this episode explains what may be happening in the brain and nervous system.Dr. Steenerson breaks down the diagnostic criteria for 3PD, why symptoms can continue even after the original vestibular problem improves, how 3PD overlaps with vestibular migraine, and why treatment often requires a combination of education, vestibular therapy, medication, cognitive strategies, lifestyle support, and gradual exposure.This conversation also addresses why 3PD is sometimes misunderstood, how hypervigilance plays a role, and why there is real hope for recovery and improved quality of life.

ALAKAZAM! The DizRadio Show Gets a literal Hand From Hollywood Magic Legend, and Addams Family Thing, CHRISTOPHER HART (Thing in The Addams Family Trilogy, Idle Hands, World Famous Magician, Columbo)! Get ready to be utterly enchanted and a little bit creeped out. This week we dive into Hollywood magic, movie-set secrets, and the art of illusion as we welcome a true industry icon to the show. He is a world-famous illusionist, a prestigious member of the Magic Castle, and possesses quite literally one of the most recognizable hands in cinematic history. We are beyond thrilled to welcome the legendary CHRISTOPHER HART to the studio! If you grew up loving family movies, Christopher's work is deeply woven into your childhood. As the man behind Thing in all three live-action Addams Family films, he brought an unbelievable amount of personality, wit, and charm to a character without ever showing his face. He sits down with the us to talk about the sheer wonder and timeless allure of magic, his personal favorite magicians who inspired his journey, and what it actually takes to bring an iconic, disembodied hand to life on the silver screen. From landing the coveted role to sharing incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the Addams Family sets, this is a masterclass in movie magic you don't want to miss! But the finger-snapping fun doesn't stop there! Chris also dives into his transition over to the horror-comedy genre, where he traded the lovable Addams family companion for a menacing, bloodthirsty appendage in the cult classic Idle Hands. He shares what it was like creating a totally twisted villainous hand, including the scoop on that unforgettable, chaotic scene featuring punk rock icons The Offspring! Then, Jonathan Grabs the Mic and Unlocks Magic! Keeping the mystical vibes rolling, Jonathan stops by the magic shop of memory lane to dust off some long-forgotten magic television specials that used to glue us to the screen. He also shares a hilarious personal tale about performing magic for a local Little League championship, and rounds things out with a fantastic breakdown of family-friendly magic movies that are perfect for your next weekend marathon! Grab your top hats, dust off your spellbooks, and give a big, high-five welcome!

I've been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don't have a big team. I've spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf's “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.Connect with Jordan Blair & Buzzsprout:https://buzzcast.buzzsprout.com/https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/resourcesSupport the showSupport Ageless Glamour Girls™:www.agelessglamourgirls.com        www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes       https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls      Instagram @agelessglamourgirlsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirlsPrivate (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafeTikTok: @agelessglamourgirlsPodcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls™ and Purple Tulip Media, LLC  

Not gonna lie, this is one of those strains that surprised us.When Jesse brought home Triple Stack from Dark Heart, neither of us had particularly high expectations. Based on past experiences, it probably wouldn't have been the strain we reached for on the shelf. Then we cracked the jar open.  Huge buds. Soft texture. Loud aroma. Good moisture. And after spending some time with it, we realized this one deserved a closer look.In this episode, we break down Triple Stack's flavor, terpene profile, effects, and why it ended up becoming one of the bigger surprises we've had from a Utah grower lately.  First impressions of Dark Heart's Triple StackWhy this strain completely changed our expectationsThe mystery behind its unreleased geneticsFlavor notes ranging from creamy vanilla and baked goods to funky cheese, fuel, and spiceTerpene profile featuring β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, and LinaloolWhy slow-onset strains can sometimes create a longer-lasting experienceHow Triple Stack delivered relaxation without heavy sedationWhy great budtenders are worth their weight in goldThe importance of shopping by terpene profile instead of THC percentage aloneThe cannabis strains that continue to surprise us the mostGrower: Dark Heart (Utah)Strain: Triple StackType: Indica-Hybrid Leaning Balanced HybridTHC: Typically reported between 20-30%Top Terpenes: β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, LinaloolReported Flavor Notes: Vanilla dough, toasted nuts, berry, grape, fuel, cream, funky cheese, and spice. Triple Stack felt less like flipping a light switch and more like slowly turning down a dimmer.The onset was gradual. No racing thoughts. No anxiety. No heavy couch lock.Instead, it delivered a calm, clear-headed relaxation that seemed to melt tension out of the shoulders and upper back while keeping the mind engaged and present. It felt social, creative, and surprisingly functional.  If you've ever wanted something that lets you appreciate a museum, wander an art gallery, play board games with friends, or simply enjoy a conversation without feeling glued to the couch, this strain might be worth exploring.  A strain doesn't have to hit like a freight train to be effective.Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that sneak up slowly, quiet the noise, relax the body, and let you stay fully present.Triple Stack was a great reminder of that.  Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:
