Podcasts about Miss America

Sermon Outline: "When Who He Is Meets Where You Are" I. Grace in the Mundane & For the Assignment Meeting God in the Everyday: God does not just appear in high-profile moments; He meets believers in the routine, daily rhythms of life (00:48:44). Grace Arrives at the Step of Faith: Illustrating through personal testimonies (preaching in San Juan, Puerto Rico to 8,000 people) and a Miss America ticket analogy, Pastor Rhonda emphasized that grace for an assignment is released when you step through the door, not beforehand (00:50:13). The Exam Already Passed: Sharing a story about a Bible college professor who marked all exam answers correct in red ink, illustrating that righteousness and spiritual victory are gifts given because Christ took the test for us (00:52:59). II. Moses at the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1–14) Outliving Past Consequences: After 40 years on the backside of the desert in Midian (14,600 days), Moses thought his story was over due to past murder and rejection. God demonstrated that a wilderness season cannot cancel His purpose (00:56:32). Holy Ground Wherever You Step: When Moses turned aside to the burning bush, God commanded him to take off his shoes. Under the New Covenant, because Christ lives in believers, every workplace, home, and assignment becomes holy ground (01:00:58). Overcoming the "Imposter Syndrome": Addressing insecurity and the inner soundtrack of "Who do you think you are?", God answered Moses' insecurity ("Who am I?") not with self-confidence, but with God-confidence: "I will be with you" (01:05:05, Exodus 3:12). III. The Power of the Name: Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM) The Self-Existent One: Unlike humans who are defined by parentage, origin, or beginning, God revealed Himself as Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM)—eternal, self-sustaining, uncreated, and needing no external fuel (like the unconsumed bush) (01:13:08, Exodus 3:14). Breathed Presence: Referencing the Hebrew root Haya and the divine name Yahweh, God's very name matches the rhythm of human breath (01:15:50). Jesus, the Great I AM: Connecting Old Covenant revelation to Jesus' "I AM" statements in John (Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life), proving that where Christ steps in, human inadequacy is completely swallowed up (01:28:40). IV. Four Core Kingdom Principles God Takes the Initiative: History is His story; God initiates pre-blessed plans (01:17:31). God Moves in Response to Prayer: Corporate crying out invites divine intervention (01:18:01). God is the Supplier: When we carry anxiety or sleeplessness over assignments, we carry what belongs to God. God stays up so we can sleep (01:20:28). God Heals Your World From Where He Healed You: God uses personal misery, brokenness, and former wildernesses (Mount Horeb/Sinai) to bring deliverance to others (01:22:56, 2 Corinthians 1:3–4). Scripture Index Isaiah 41:10 > "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (00:47:25) Exodus 3:1–6 > "And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed." (00:47:55, 01:00:00) Exodus 3:7–8 > "And the Lord said: 'I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry... So I have come down to deliver them...'" (01:02:00) Exodus 3:11–12 > "But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh...?' So He said, 'I will certainly be with you.'" (01:04:47, 01:08:10) Exodus 3:13–14 > "And God said to Moses, 'I AM THAT I AM.' And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.'" (00:47:55, 01:13:18) Zechariah 4:6–7 > "'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts. 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of Grace, grace to it!'" (00:54:40) 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 > "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ... who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble..." (01:23:22) Psalm 34:17 > "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles." (01:18:38) John 8:58 > "Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'" (01:28:40) "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.

This week, The Gay Mix comes in hot with the most glamorous smart-light failure imaginable before Daniel drops a proper newsroom bombshell: he quit his job. After weeks of executive chaos, mystery PowerPoint math, disappearing developers, and enough stress to qualify as cardio, he finally chose peace—and perhaps a future taking happy vacation photos at Disney. Adam, already between jobs himself, naturally suggests they simply make a living podcasting. What could possibly go wrong?From there, the newly unemployed besties get entrepreneurial as Adam unveils his all-in-one podcast production playground, complete with show planning, contact wrangling, soundboards, trivia, and a UI only a developer could love. The contact segment brings Kathy Bacon's allegedly murdered backyard, suspicious celebrity-death arithmetic, Lamont Cranston's deep-cut Miss America reference, and a bold invitation to text the show pictures best left undescribed here. There are also elaborate funeral plans, a possible AI afterlife, a spicy detour through Broadway ticket prices and living wages, and a News Game performance that proves quitting your job does not automatically improve your knowledge of rivers.Birthdays bring Lynda Carter, Jennifer Lopez, and Elisabeth Moss, while Adam closes out the evening with a 3D-printing saga involving scratched light boxes, rogue nozzles, missing connectors, and emergency Walmart LEDs. Daniel teases an equally maddening mystery for the after show, the new production tool gets one last live shakedown, and everyone somehow reaches the closing music with dignity mostly intact. We hope you enjoy this week's blend of liberation, innovation, funeral catering, and technical support with just a whisper of gay panic.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

In this Energy Newsbeat podcast episode, host Stu Turley sits down with nuclear experts Grace Vanderheide (nuclear fuels engineer and former Miss America) and Alina Voss (NX Atomics) to explore the nuclear industry's pivotal moment. As the U.S. restarts decommissioned reactors and deploys advanced reactor designs, the conversation reveals that nuclear's future hinges not on engineering breakthroughs alone, but on solving the unsexy realities: grid infrastructure, ratepayer affordability, and honest public communication.From passive safety mechanisms to manufacturing innovation, the speakers tackle misconceptions about nuclear while confronting hard truths about cost discipline, transmission bottlenecks, and the need to engage women and younger generations in the energy transition.Here is Grace's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracevanderhei/Here is Alina's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alinavoss/1. Nuclear Fleet Expansion & Reactor RestartsThe conversation highlights the restart of decommissioned reactors (Three Mile Island, Palisades, Dwayne Arnold) and power upgrades to existing plants. Grace explains that power upgrades alone could generate the equivalent of about seven new nuclear reactors over 2-5 years—a cost-effective way to increase energy output without building new facilities.2. Grid Infrastructure & Transmission CrisisA critical theme is the neglected state of America's transmission and distribution infrastructure, which is 20 years behind in many regions. Alina emphasizes that transmission has been “completely slept on” and warns that without grid upgrades, new generation capacity (whether nuclear or data centers) will face the same challenges. The grid is the “missing middle” that most Americans don't understand.3. Ratepayer Concerns & Energy AffordabilityBoth speakers stress that public fear isn't primarily about nuclear safety anymore—it's about electricity costs. They discuss how data centers and new energy projects risk being blamed for rate increases, and how the nuclear industry must avoid the same PR pitfalls by being transparent about costs and protecting consumers from project overruns.4. Net Zero Targets vs. RealityGrace and Alina critique net zero marketing as disconnected from actual energy policy. They argue that closing nuclear plants while pursuing net zero targets is contradictory, and that voluntary blackouts/brownouts represent a failure of grid planning rather than a solution. They advocate for maximizing clean energy generation rather than reducing consumption.5. Advanced Nuclear Fuel & TechnologyGrace discusses accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) and high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU), explaining how 90-95% of spent nuclear fuel is reusable. Alina describes NX Atomics' liquid metal-cooled reactors and passive safety features, emphasizing innovation in manufacturing (3D printing) and financing models.6. Passive Safety & Reactor DesignBoth experts explain passive safety mechanisms—how reactors automatically shut down without human intervention or external power (using gravity to drop control rods). This addresses public misconceptions about nuclear accidents.7. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) & ManufacturingThe discussion highlights SMRs as a manufacturing challenge, not just an engineering one. Alina notes that companies like Allo Atomics are building factories alongside reactors to achieve economies of scale. The key is treating nuclear as a manufacturing game, not just an engineering project.8. Construction Cost & Timeline DisciplineGrace emphasizes that the #1 priority for nuclear expansion is delivering projects on time and on budget. She argues that nuclear engineers' perfectionism culture conflicts with business realities, and that construction specialists—not engineers—should lead builds once designs are finalized.9. Workforce & Gender DiversityGrace highlights the quadrupling of nuclear engineering undergrad enrollment (from 14 to 60+ students per class at UW-Madison). She stresses the need to engage women in nuclear, noting that women are often unaware nuclear is clean energy and need clearer messaging about its value proposition.10. Public Perception & Communication StrategyBoth speakers discuss how to communicate nuclear's benefits authentically, especially as AI-generated social media content proliferates. They emphasize the need for human-to-human interaction and authentic storytelling to build trust, particularly with younger generations and women.11. Uranium Supply ChainGrace expresses interest in the global uranium supply chain and how it will evolve with nuclear expansion—a critical but underexplored topic.12.

In a rare two-part episode, Gilbert and Frank are joined by not one, but TWO of the actresses to play Catwoman during the run of the classic 1966 “Batman” series, Lee Meriwether and Julie Newmar. First, Lee looks back on her reign as Miss America, impersonates Ed Wynn and threatens (promises?) to discipline Gilbert. Next up, Julie reminisces about working with everyone from Michael Rennie to Chad & Jeremy and favors us with her favorite Catwoman catchphrase. Also, Julie feuds with Jim Belushi, Lee hops a flight with J. Fred Muggs and Buddy Ebsen runs afoul of Shirley Temple. PLUS: “The Eddie Cantor Story”! The return of Billy Barty! Gilbert channels Sydney Greenstreet! And the strange mystery of Cesar Romero and the orange wedges!

The MLB All-Star Game tried to be patriotic. Instead, it seemed desperate. From Patti LaBelle's stumbling national anthem and a cringeworthy fifth-inning "Sandlot" spoof to Miss America's rendition of "God Bless America" — baseball's midsummer showcase went all in on patriotism and came out looking like a try-hard political ad. Jason Whitlock breaks down why performative patriotism is worse than no patriotism at all — and what the MLB's All-Star spectacle reveals about a league that has lost touch with its own audience. ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Before I was cynical, I was a kid with a Miss America lunchbox and a genuine belief I'd grow up to wear a red, white, and blue hoop skirt.This week: the full machinery of the 1976 Bicentennial — Little House on the Prairie priming me for pioneer life, a Martha Washington biography that rerouted me straight into colonial gowns, the Miss America pageant's bicentennial opening number, and every variety show in America doing a patriotic sketch — and how thoroughly it worked on a kid whose brain wasn't even fully cooked yet.Then: the adult reckoning.Turns out all that flag-waving was engineered a few years after Watergate and the fall of Saigon, which tracks less like organic pride and more like parents plowing ahead with the family reunion while the marriage quietly falls apart.I talk about what it's like to hold the nostalgia and the disillusionment at the same time, why this year's 250th anniversary is coasting on fumes by comparison — no commemorative Grimace cups in sight, no theme packaging, no Oreos, nothing — and why I'm still doing the bar-b-que and the red-white-and-blue this year anyway.Subscribe.

We also get into how she spots white guys who are weird about Asian girls, Taylor Swift's ongoing Sombre fixation, and a very special Wasian celebrities edition of Chic or Freak.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Emma Ashford about her new musical: Miss America. MISS AMERICA, a dystopian musical tragicomedy, tells the story of Eve - a driven, idealistic, and accidentally pregnant Indiana 17-year-old on the eve of her freshman year at college. After a failed illegal abortion attempt, Eve ends up at the New Life Center: a pilot prison created by the McGowan administration, which has codified abortion as murder. Over the next 8 months, Eve, alongside her fellow inmates, must reckon with parenthood, purpose, and the gendered expectations that confine all of us. With comedy, heart, and a sweeping score of pop/rock and pastiche, this uniquely American coming-of-age musical nods to hits such as Orange is The New Black and The Handmaid's Tale as it confronts what the reproductive laws of today could mean for us tomorrow.  This episode features recordings of the songs “Not Today” performed by Emma Ashford, and “Miss America” performed by Alysa Finnegan, Nina White, and Emma Ashford.

We have a lot to discuss, and none of it fits on a protest sign.Let's start with a sentence that makes Leftists reach for the smelling salts: there is widespread racism against White people in America, and it didn't stay neatly contained. Like a government program that started as a pilot and became permanent, that racism metastasized into ideology. And that ideology didn't just target Whites. It flattened Black ambition.That's the part the Left never wants to talk about.They sell this story as compassion. As justice. As historical repair. But what they actually built was a system that punished excellence, reframed merit as oppression, and taught Black Americans that striving was a betrayal.That wasn't accidental. That was strategic.When Black America Didn't Ask for PermissionThere was a time when Black Americans didn't ask for accommodation. We asked for a stopwatch.You told us we couldn't do something, and we treated it like a dare. You said only White men could dominate a field, and Black America replied, “Hold my Colt 45.”Jack Johnson didn't become heavyweight champion because someone checked a diversity box. He didn't win a title reserved for Black fighters. He became the heavyweight champion, full stop. He didn't climb a separate mountain. He climbed the only one that mattered and planted his flag right in the snow.Same with Vanessa Williams. She didn't become “Miss Black America Who Deserves Recognition Too.” She became Miss America.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Free Speech, Guns and Moses, Media Bias, and the Fight Over America's Future Remembering Allen Nathan and Continuing the All-Stars In this episode of Spouting Off, host Karen Kataline opens by reflecting on the loss of Allen Nathan and the continuation of the Allen Nathan All-Stars in his memory. She frames the program around free speech, debate, and the freedom to hear uncensored ideas, then introduces her first guest, Salvador Litvak, director, producer, humorist, and filmmaker behind the mystery thriller Guns and Moses. Karen explains that she watched the film the night before with friends and wanted to bring Litvak on to discuss its message, production, and cultural relevance. Guns and Moses and the Right to Self-Defense Salvador Litvak discusses Guns and Moses, describing it as a film that is pro-faith, pro-Second Amendment, and centered on Jews who refuse to remain passive in the face of threats. He says the film has been warmly received by audiences, even while receiving little support from legacy media outlets. Karen and Litvak focus on how the movie portrays Jewish self-defense, with a rabbi who is reluctant to use a gun but takes responsible training seriously in order to protect his family and community. They also note that the film avoids simplistic stereotypes and presents Jewish characters as nuanced, faithful, and capable of moral courage. Antisemitism, Media Suppression, and Mamdani The conversation then shifts toward antisemitism, media narratives, and the New York City mayoral race involving Zohran Mamdani. Karen and Litvak argue that antisemitism appears across different political and ideological forms and that the media often pressures Jews and other targeted people to remain quiet or passive. Litvak connects his family history to concerns about socialism and communism, explaining that his mother and grandmother survived the Holocaust, lived under Soviet rule in Hungary, and later left Chile after Salvador Allende's election. He warns New Yorkers against electing Mamdani, whom both he and Karen characterize as dangerous, anti-Jewish, socialist, and communist. Tim Graham on Media, Comedy, and Political Narratives Karen's next guest is Tim Graham, executive editor at Newsbusters and host of the Newsbusters Podcast. They discuss how late-night comedians and mainstream media figures have treated the New York mayoral race, with Graham saying that most jokes have targeted Mamdani's opponents rather than Mamdani himself. Karen and Graham compare media enthusiasm for Mamdani to past media fascination with Barack Obama, arguing that the press often protects or glamorizes left-wing figures while dismissing concerns about ideology, antisemitism, Islamism, or public safety. The segment frames Mamdani as part of a larger debate about media bias, Democratic Party direction, and the consequences of open-society rhetoric that excuses illiberal movements. Fears About New York and the Democratic Party The Mamdani discussion continues with concern over whether New York City could follow the path of cities like London, especially in relation to public safety, Jewish life, Islamist politics, and the ability of non-Muslims and Jews to feel safe in public. Graham says Republicans may use Mamdani as an example of what the Democratic Party has become, while Karen presses the point that Democratic leaders such as Hakeem Jeffries and Barack Obama have connections or strategic silence around Mamdani. The segment closes with Graham directing listeners to Newsbusters for more analysis of media bias and political coverage. Grace Stanke VanderWaal on Nuclear Optimism The episode ends with Karen welcoming Grace Stanke VanderWaal, Miss America 2023 and a trained nuclear engineer, to discuss nuclear energy, optimism, and America's energy future. VanderWaal explains that her upcoming book will focus on harnessing optimism in everyday life and that she applies that outlook to nuclear power. She argues that the United States has the best-performing nuclear fleet in the world and that nuclear energy offers abundant, reliable, clean power. She also discusses recent nuclear developments, including plant restarts, Trump administration support for nuclear expansion, regulatory reform, and the need to unite behind strong energy infrastructure as artificial intelligence increases demand on the power grid.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Cecily Berry, Miss Shelby County 2026 and financial advisor with First Horizon Advisors, who discusses her journey in the Miss America organization and her work promoting financial literacy through Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South. Cecily talks about her ties to and passion for Memphis, her recent graduation from Union University with degrees in economics and executive leadership, and how her mother's previous competition 30 years ago inspired her to join, describing the organization's focus on developing professional leadership skills in women while serving their communities. The program involves various components including interviews, public speaking, and on-stage presence, with significant emphasis on community service and advocacy. Cecily discusses her work as a financial advisor and her decision to volunteer with Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South to address a lack of financial literacy in early education. She explains how Junior Achievement's experiential learning programs, from 3rd grade to high school, help develop essential financial skills like budgeting and investing. She shares how volunteering has transformed her as a leader, allowing her to better teach complex financial concepts to both children and adult clients, and demonstrating that financial education can be effective at all age levels. The conversation covers her experience competing at local, state, and potential national levels, emphasizing the personal growth in confidence and professional development that comes with representing the title, as well as the responsibility of representing the organization and cause. Cecily shares how she has built friendships and been inspired by the other contestants, and how the competition has brought her closer with her mother. She explains the differences between local, Miss Tennessee, and Miss America competitions, noting variations in scoring systems and the number of participants. She discusses how competing in these events has helped her grow in confidence and professional development, particularly in networking and public speaking situations. Jeremy asks how others can support and follow her journey, to which Cecily suggests following her on social media and providing support through likes and comments online and through support of Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South.

Bess Myerson rose to fame as the first - and still only - Jewish Miss America, antisemitism on the pageant circuit. She parlayed this visibility into a successful television career, then made the leap into New York City politics in the 1970s. But in the 1980s, her carefully built reputation began to unravel in a sensational scandal involving her married boyfriend, his divorce judge, and allegations of bribery. The saga was splashed across headlines as the “Bess Mess” – and threatened to eclipse her trailblazing legacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Guns Podcast US brought to you by GUNSmagazine.com, host Brent Wheat sits down with long-time friend and Gunsight Academy CEO Ken Campbell to break down the recent security incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner. While mainstream media pundits quickly labeled the event a massive security failure, these two veteran law enforcement officers explain why the exact opposite is true. Dive deep into the tactical realities of 'rings of security' and discover how multiple alphabet soup agencies successfully managed the chaos to keep protectees safe. Beyond the headline news, Brent and Ken share operational debriefs and 'war stories' from their own careers. From guarding former President Bill Clinton and Miss America to running high-ground sniper security for high-profile trials, they reveal the hidden mechanics of VIP protection. Learn the crucial importance of target isolation (Rule 4), and why everyday citizens must embrace the reality that they are their own first responders. Whether you're a seasoned tactical professional or a new gun owner looking to better protect your family, this episode offers invaluable insights into situational awareness, threat assessment, and personal defense.   Key Takeaways • Event security operates in multiple 'rings.' The fact that the attacker was stopped at the middle ring indicates the system worked exactly as intended. • Security agents didn't immediately fire their weapons because of Rule 4 of gun safety (know your target and what is beyond it), preventing potential casualties among VIPs in the line of fire. • Coordinating VIP protection at major events is incredibly complex due to overlapping jurisdictions of multiple agencies, including the Secret Service, Capitol Police, and DoD. • During a crisis, people do not rise to the occasion; they default to their level of training. Consistent, realistic training is crucial for an effective response. • Preparedness and self-defense are not political issues. A growing demographic of non-traditional gun owners are seeking tactical training to protect their families. • No matter how much security is present, you are ultimately your own first responder and must maintain situational awareness at all times. --- Have a topic idea or a guest you'd like to see in a future episode?
