As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Cal replays one of the most powerful conversations in Big Questions' archive: his interview with Michael Wright, a survivor who was buried alive when Tower 2 of the World Trade Center collapsed on him. Michael was a 30-year-old account executive on an ordinary Tuesday morning when the hijacked planes hit. Cal interviewed him for Esquire Magazine just days after the attack and has replayed his taped recollections every year since Big Questions started. This year, Cal introduces curated archival images from that day, synced to Michael's narrative. The visuals can be found on youtube.com/@bigquestionspodcast. This is the story of how Michael survived after being buried alive near a fireman. He crawled to the fireman and stuck to him "like a sticky burr on a bear's ass." The fireman hacked them both out with an axe. When the story was first published, Esquire called it "the fastest 3,863 words you will ever read." It's a story about adaptation under the worst possible pressure, and about the connection between two strangers that made survival possible. Twenty-five years later, all of those involved still have everything to teach us.  

Join Michael Wright for his first show of the academic year, where he discusses his experiences from a recent sabbatical. He also shares lessons learned from his time away from the full-time grind, along with observations about his career thus far and the current state of education.

A man bought a Victorian home in Mitchell, Indiana for its price and its character, and spent the following months learning exactly what else came with it. This is the story of Van Renier, the house he refused to walk away from, and a table that answered a question no one expected it to answer.EPISODE NOTES● Owner Van Renier has publicly stated the house holds a confirmed record of six deaths, not counting any patients who may have died during Dr. John Gibbons's twenty-six years of medical practice there.● The Rachel legend has at least three competing versions: a Christmas 1912 fire, a carriage accident that killed her parents before her adoption, and a darker possibility raised in Richard Estep's own research that she may have been killed by her father. No record confirms a girl named Rachel ever lived in the house under any version.● A documented infant named Elizabeth died in the master bedroom of unrecorded causes; guests report the scent of baby powder and the sound of a baby crying in that same room.● The May 4, 2014 investigation by the Ghost Research Society, led by Dale Kaczmarek with the Champaign-Urbana Paranormal Society, is a named, dated centerpiece of the episode: a ghost box correctly answered 'Gibbons' and 'Mabel' unprompted; investigators Marge Sucha and Michael Wright each developed unexplained marks minutes apart, and investigator Stan Suho openly reported his own footage turned up nothing.● The cold open is built from a real guest's own written account of a table-tipping session that answered 'yes' when asked if it was a demon, then reacted aggressively when the group said they'd stop talking to it. The episode makes it explicit that this event and the shadow entity 'Big Black' have never been formally connected.● Includes Mary Ann's own theological belief that child apparitions may be demonic entities using a child's likeness as a disguise, since she does not believe God leaves children's souls earthbound.SCRIPTURE1 John 4:1 (NIV) — 'Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.'SOURCES● Van Renier's own account, as reported by WAVE 3 News (2014) and in the documentary When the Walls Talk (2017)● Ghost Research Society investigation report, ghostresearch.org, May 4, 2014● Richard Estep, Whispers in the Darkness: The Haunting of Whispers Estate● Ghost Stalkers television episode, October 2014● A guest's own published account of a table-tipping session at Whispers Estate

Episode 390: Remembering Michael Wright, Penn State's Frat Cocaine Ring & "Mystery Meat"   Welcome back to Powell to the People: Rebel Base 1! Keith is away on vacation this week, so Tony Powell is flying solo with DP and TV news director Mark. It's a packed episode that ranges from heartfelt Hollywood tributes to wild college horror stories, media critiques, and heavy political commentary.   On this week's episode, the crew discusses:   Remembering Michael Wright: Tony and DP pay tribute to the late, great actor Michael Wright, who recently passed away at 70. They reflect on his undeniable screen presence, his iconic "bad guy" roles, and his legendary performance as Eddie Kane Jr. in The Five Heartbeats and Ray Nathan in Sugar Hill. Out of respect for the late actor, DP announces he is officially retiring the "Eddie Kane Jr." moniker. The Penn State Fraternity Cocaine Ring: The guys break down the massive, pledge-involving cocaine distribution ring at Penn State. They discuss the lack of federal RICO charges, the "old boy" privilege of wealthy families, and how it mirrors the fictional university drug game in Power. Tony and Mark also share their own terrifying, Animal House-meets-horror-movie experiences attending wildly out-of-control white frat parties. Tariffs, Gas Prices, & "Mystery Meat": Trump's temporary plan to allow 300,000 tons of tariff-free imported ground beef to combat high prices has the guys asking: Where is the beef actually coming from? They joke about wild mustangs and "horse burgers" while discussing how $6-a-gallon gas and tariffs are being passed directly to the everyday consumer. The Teleprompter Nightmare: Mark uses his expertise as a TV news director to break down the technical nightmare of running a teleprompter for a president who struggles to read. He explains how staff have to drastically simplify scripts and "dumb down" the alphabet just to avoid on-air disasters. Global Pushback & Political Sellouts: The crew discusses how countries like Canada and Iran are finally standing up to US bullying, realizing "there's more of them than there is of him." Plus, Tony makes a bold prediction: Hakeem Jeffries and Stephen A. Smith are both angling for $30-million-a-year gigs at Fox News after fumbling the bag.  

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show packed the conversation with headline-making news, candid celebrity revelations, and inspirational moments. The show opened with the latest developments in the Karmelo Anthony case after a Texas judge denied the teenager’s request for a new trial, leaving his murder conviction and 35-year sentence in place while his legal team continues its appeal efforts. Recent reports indicate the retrial request centered on evidence and courtroom procedures that the defense argued were not fully presented to jurors, but the court ultimately upheld the original verdict. The crew also debated parenting and self-defense after Cardi B revealed she has enrolled her children in boxing classes and wants them to be able to protect themselves and, one day, defend her if necessary. Adding a more personal and meaningful conversation, singer Kehlani opened up about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, explaining how therapy, medication, and understanding her triggers have transformed her life and improved her mental health journey. The show also celebrated a major career milestone for Jeezy, who was surprised by LeBron James with a Key to the City of Las Vegas during the finale of his “Legend of the Snowman” residency. Rather than ending the residency, Jeezy announced additional dates through New Year’s Eve, showing continued demand for the Atlanta rap icon. Listeners were also treated to Money Mondays with Jini Thornton, who shared practical advice on helping aging parents organize their finances, legal documents, and long-term care plans before a crisis occurs. Other trending topics included Jamie Foxx preparing to welcome another child, tributes to late actor Michael Wright of The Five Heartbeats, and a lively discussion about mental health, family, and protecting loved ones while navigating life’s challenges.

This week Black on Black Cinema finally gives Sugar Hill (1994) the deep analysis it deserves. Directed by Leon Ichaso and written by Barry Michael Cooper — the architect behind New Jack City and Above the Rim — Sugar Hill is the second and most emotionally dramatic entry in Cooper's Harlem Trilogy. Wesley Snipes as Roemello Skuggs, a high-level Harlem drug dealer who wants out. He's got money, power, a woman he loves in Melissa (Theresa Randle), and a future waiting for him if his volatile brother Raynathan (Michael Wright) and the game itself will let him leave.We break down what makes Sugar Hill flawed but still underrated. Cooper's layered screenplay that tries to give Roemello genuine intellectual depth (Georgetown scholarship-eligible, chess player, art collector), Michael Wright's explosive performance as the brother who can't escape the past, and Leon Ichaso's atmospheric direction that turns Harlem into a character of its own. Terence Blanchard's jazz-inflected gives the film a serious connection to Spike Lee's own work. Clarence Williams III steals scenes effortlessly, and Ernie Hudson has a good time as a villain this time around.We discuss why it got overshadowed by New Jack City, how it works to keep the idea of Wesley Snipes being one of the coolest dudes in this era. Sugar Hill has its flaws from scenes that in hindsight are oddly placed (potentially post edit bay issues), some characters who aren't as explored as actual human beings, but there is still something here worth talking about and the effort of making a gentlemen gangster film with the same actor who was notorious for playing one of the most brutal gangsters in the 90s era is something to admire here.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Black on Black Cinema announces our next film review: Sugar Hill (1994), directed by Leon Ichaso and written by Barry Michael Cooper; the second film in his legendary Harlem Trilogy alongside New Jack City and Above the Rim. Wesley Snipes stars as Roemello Skuggs, a high-level Harlem drug dealer who decides to walk away from the life to start fresh with his girlfriend Melissa (Theresa Randle), only to discover that leaving isn't something the game allows. Co-starring Michael Wright, Clarence Williams III, Ernie Hudson, and Abe Vigoda.Then we get into it: Reparations for Black Americans. We agree it should happen, the historical, economic, and moral case is ironclad. But what does repayment actually look like in practice? Direct cash payments? Targeted investment? Tax free benefits? Educational and business funds? And who qualifies for it? Is it just direct descendants of enslaved people only, or a broader class of Black Americans impacted by systemic racism? We break down the competing frameworks, the political obstacles, and what an honest reparations conversation looks like beyond the talking point.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

A school letter has sparked controversy after making extra GCSE revision including weekends compulsory, with consequences for absence. But where is the line between high expectations and excessive pressure? In tonight's Points of View, we ask: Should schools be able to mandate extra sessions? Do strict systems raise standards or risk burnout? And who decides what's “too far” when exams are on the line? Join the debate as we explore how far schools should go in the name of results.   Featuring JP, Tom Rogers, Tony Harwood and Michael Wright.

Last year, Crescent Duck Farm on the North Fork was hit by a devastating outbreak of avian influenza and had to cull its entire flock of Pekin ducks. The farm is now rebuilding its stock. But the latest strain of the disease, known as H5N1, is back. It's now raging through its fourth winter season and is proving deadly to a broad swath of wild birds. This year, it's wild waterfowl — especially Canada geese — that are catching bird flu in large numbers, sparking fears that the disease could decimate bald eagles and other birds of prey that feed on dead waterfowl. Recently, East Hampton Town oversaw the cleanup of 675 dead geese and ducks that were thought to have succumbed to the flu in and around Georgica Pond. This week, the editors are joined by senior reporter Michael Wright and Kathleen Mulcahy, director of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays, and Kevin Hynes, director of wildlife health for New York State DEC, to talk about the situation.

Any effective implementation of leadership begins with believing in a set of grounded and guided principles, and you are committed to unwaveringly adopting them to cultivate the culture you desire.  According to The Barna Group, an evangelical Christian polling firm based in Ventura, California, Values Driven: Among Christian faith CEOs and Organizational leaders, 34% list religious faith as one of the top personal values influencing their leadership, often placing it alongside values like integrity and service.  Active Integration: While a large majority identify as religious, only about half (51%) of these "Faith-Forward" leaders report that their faith actively motivates their decision-making, while 25% say it is not a factor at all.  Dr. Michael Wright is a Christian leadership expert, executive coach, and speaker who helps leaders align faith, purpose, and strategy to create lasting impact. With decades of experience in organizational leadership, ministry development, and executive coaching, Michael equips pastors, nonprofit leaders, and professionals to lead with clarity, integrity, and effectiveness. Michael's work focuses on developing purpose-driven leaders, building healthy leadership systems, and helping organizations thrive while staying rooted in biblical values.
