Chances are, you know Richard Thomas as John-Boy on The Waltons. Or maybe you saw him more recently in his many-episode arcs on shows like The Americans and Ozark. You might’ve even seen him on Broadway in Our Town or as Atticus Finch in the tour of To Kill a Mockingbird. He’s in town doing the very first authorized production of Mark Twain Tonight! since Hal Holbrook died. And John Jeremiah Sullivan has won the Pushcart Prize, two National Magazine Awards, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. His essay “Twain Dreams: The Enigma of Samuel Clemens” ran in the 175th anniversary issue of Harpers. This hour, Thomas and Sullivan join us to talk Twain.

“… the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.” G. K. Chesterton   This week we feature a rebroadcast of a 2021 talk from our lower school head, Colin Gleason. Mr. Gleason addressed the topic of discipline using decades of experience in the Valley, converting the lessons he shares with his homeroom teachers into ideas for parents at home. Ultimately, his guidance is all about bringing a long-term vision and great love into our attitudes of discipline, willing the good for our boys with all earnest humility. Whether you're thinking the kitchen or the classroom, Mr. Gleason encourages us to foster a culture of respectful dominion.

In this explosive revelation, Tulsi Gabbard, former Congresswoman and now high-level intelligence official, drops a bombshell: Operation Mockingbird, the once-secret CIA program to control U.S. media through paid journalists and editors, was never shut down—it's still active today. Originally uncovered in 1977 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Bernstein, Mockingbird placed intelligence assets inside America's most trusted newsrooms to shape public opinion. Gabbard's discovery reignites scrutiny, revealing the continued use of coordinated messaging, disinformation, and propaganda across modern outlets—even implicating current government efforts to suppress her findings. As Gabbard fights to shut it down, figures like Sen. Tom Cotton move to strip her authority. If true, this may be the most significant media scandal in modern American history—and a turning point in the war over truth.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I am chatting with Jacqui Lents. Jacqui was born and raised in her beloved Michigan, where her life has meandered more like a lazy river than a high-speed expressway. Before settling into her career as a high school social studies etacher, she dabbled in at least fifteen different jobs—some more unusual than others. When she is not revinventing herself, Jacqui can be found throwing axes (responsibly), attempting to conquer her TBR pile, swimming in her loch, or hanging out with her husband of over twenty years, who has yet to flee despite her ever-evolving hobbies. Jacqui is the host of the award-winning podcast, Jacqui Just Chatters and we are here to tday to talk about her debut novel, The Daphne Project.This is Jacqui's first appearance on Bookish Flights as a published author (yay!), and we dive deep into the themes that inspired her book. We talk about what it means to become "vintage," embracing imperfections, personal growth, and the hard but transformative process of rediscovering your identity.Episode Highlights:Jacqui's journey from educator to author.What inspired The Daphne Project.The beauty (and humor) in becoming “vintage.”Reinvention and identity in midlife.Why real stories about real people matter.How teaching shaped her writing voice.

This week on NAFC, Windows 11 update... and still no one wants it. The crew shares their collective refusal while sidetracking into the mystery of Sister Hong (don't worry, it's as weird as it sounds). Gibbs gives his thoughts on Solo Leveling and whether it lives up to the anime hype, while Mox returns from ACGHK 2025 with tales of merch, crowds, and cosplay chaos. He also reviews Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel's latest attempt at relevance—does it stick the landing? Meanwhile, Izzy's one minor inconvenience away from actually killing a mockingbird. They wrap it up with a review of Fermat's Room (2007), where math becomes deadly and the tension's tighter than Gibbs' trust circle. Support us on Patreon!

Aaron Bartz brings a grounded, thoughtful energy to the role of Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and in this conversation, he shares just how much life and imagination go into keeping the magic alive night after night. From flying and fire to illusions and high-stakes contingencies, Aaron walks us through what it's like to debut on Broadway in one of the most technically demanding plays out there—and why so many actors in the production come from classical Shakespeare backgrounds. We also explore Aaron's journey from Great Falls, Montana to the Lyric Theatre in NYC, including a pivotal classroom moment that set him on the path to acting, and how a love of storytelling (and a little persistence) helped him land gigs that ultimately led to an MFA from Yale. Now a father of two, Aaron reflects on how playing Draco as a parent has shifted his own understanding of growth, vulnerability, and legacy. Aaron Bartz is an actor and writer currently starring as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. He earned his MFA from the Yale School of Drama and began his career with regional Shakespeare productions across the country. He toured nationally with the Montana Repertory Theatre in To Kill a Mockingbird, and his previous work includes Loves Labour's Lost, Macbeth, and other classical works.

Jordan is a devoted practitioner of the shamanic healing arts and a teacher dedicated to the medicine path. His initiations first came through a decade of gnostic studies in Asia. After confronting severe illness, Jordan shed a career as a producer to walk the road of personal transformation, finding his medicine in shamanic study of plants. trees, breath and fasting. The “plant dieting” practices of the Amazon have radically transformed Jordan's life, vision, health and purpose and come to him primarily through Cocama elder, William Llerena Murayari. After 7 years of mentorship under Apache elder, Iron Eagle Joe, Jordan received the name Mockingbird and was given the blessing to teach through ceremony. He carries a facilitator certification from Embodied Masculine granted under the supervision of Amir Khalighi. --- TOPICS WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

David Zahl's new book The Big Relief offers a mess of help for parents who are in urgent need of grace in this worn-out world. David will take some big theological concepts like justification, imputation, and surrender, and show how these terms are not just ideas, but solid truths that set parents free from the pressure to do it all, and do it all perfectly, for the kids they love. David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website. David and his wife Cate reside in Charlottesville, VA with their three boys, where David also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. He is the author of numerous books, including Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It.   The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World MockingbirdBurn Babywise Burn by Cameron ColePaul Zahl - New Persuasive Words, Talk 1 Pt 1 Romans 8:31-37Psalm 61:1-4 Romans 8 for ParentsWhy Teenagers Need to Know that God is For Us by Steve Eatmon Mom and Dad, Nothing Can Separate You from the Love of Christ by Dan Hallock Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates Register for Rooted 2025 Conference in Chicago

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

In this episode of 'The Biggest Table,' I interview Dave Zahl, founder of Mockingbird Ministries and author of several books, including 'Seculosity' and 'Low Anthropology.' We delve into Dave's latest release, 'The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World,' discussing why grace remains a vital topic. Dave explains the continuous need for grace in a world that is often performance-driven and how his experiences and personal struggles informed his writings. The conversation touches on various aspects of grace, including its role in personal relationships, parenting, and religious life. Additionally, we explore the concepts of rest, play, and the stress induced by modern life's acceleration. The conversation concludes by discussing the joy and grace found in food, meals, and hospitality, reflecting on how shared meals and culinary experiences can bring grace and connection.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts. He and his wife Cate live in Charlottesville, Virginia, with their three sons, where he also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. Zahl is the author of Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It and Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself). His latest book, The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World came out in April 2025 from Brazos Press. His writing has been featured in The Washington Post, Plough, Christianity Today, and The Guardian, among other venues. Connect with Dave Zahl at:The Mockingbird Website The Mockingcast PodcastThis episode of the Biggest Table is brought to you in part by Wild Goose Coffee.

I'm joined by David Zahl, returning YHP guest and editor-in-chief of Mockingbird's online magazine. David is also a massive Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan like myself, so I knew he would be perfect to talk with about what we know about Brian Wilson's personal faith and spirituality. We also celebrate what his music has meant to us personally, playing a lot of song clips along the way. This is a dual-feed episode on both the You Have Permission and Pretty Good Vibrations feeds because the content feels like it fits in both places. Brian Wilson passed away on June 11th. Although my attempt to have a strong line between the first half of the episode (more focused on his faith) and the second (mostly just focused on the music), things got a little blended up. Nonetheless, if you'd like to skip most of the faith/theology stuff, a good place to start listening is around the 60 min mark. ⁠David's piece on Brian ⁠ ⁠Playlist for today's episode⁠ ⁠Beach Boys Mega Tournament PGV episode Part 1⁠ ___________________________ Email Dan: prettygoodvibrationspodcast@gmail.com IG: www.instagram.com/prettygoodvibespod/ Artwork: https://www.nickryanluevano.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mocking Bird website. Born in New York City and brought up elsewhere, David graduated from Georgetown University in 2001, and then worked for several years as a youth minister in New England. In 2007 he founded Mockingbird in NYC. We talk about his latest book The Big Relief:the urgency of grace for a worn-out world. Today David and his wife Cate reside in Charlottesville, VA with their three boys, where David also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. He is also the author of A Mess of Help: From the Crucified Soul of Rock N' Roll and co-author of Law and Gospel: A Theology for Sinners (and Saints). His book, Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technlogy, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It, appeared in 2019 from Fortress Press. Even after all these years, he's still mourning the end of Calvin and Hobbes (and hoping that Morrissey and Marr will bury the hatchet). His favorite theologian is probably a cross between Johnny Cash, Flannery O'Connor and his brother Simeon.

Philip Yancey is an American author who grew up in a strict fundamentalist Christian home, which led to a mistrust and eventually deconstruction of his faith. Yancey turned his attention to books and the Bible and eventually began to reconstruct his faith in God. Join Unscrolled host Matthias Walther as he talks to author Philip Yancey about his faith journey, upbringing, and how his writing and reading helped reconstruct his faith.   Guest bio:Philip Yancey is a Christian, American author who has written 36 books, selling over 15 million copies. Philip Yancey grew up in a strict, fundamentalist church in the South, where he viewed God as a punishing figure and witnessed contradictions in teachings of love and grace. After his father died of polio despite fervent prayers, Yancey wrestled with faith, finding solace and new perspectives in books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and C. S. Lewis's works. He felt betrayed by the church's racism and dogma, eventually discarding his beliefs and later rediscovering a faith marked by beauty and goodness. As a writer, he pursued answers to deep spiritual questions in bestsellers like “Disappointment with God,” and “What's So Amazing aAbout Grace?,” often drawing from his own journey and guiding readers with similar struggles. His memoir, “Where the Light Fell,” recounts this personal evolution, while his life's work aims to connect with those who feel marginalized by traditional religion.   Show Notes:  https://philipyancey.com/  Stay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media:  Instagram: @museumofBible  X: @museumofBible  Facebook: museumofBible  Linkedin: museumofBible  YouTube: @museumoftheBible

Working on the Golden State Killer Task Force, which prosecuted a notorious California serial killer, was a career highlight for Bobby Taghavi. But, after serving in a prosecutor's office, “the next step is to be a manager until you run for a judge” – and Bobby was “way too young to run for judge.” He made the leap into personal injury law. Now managing partner at Sweet James Accident Attorneys, Bobby has secured three consecutive multi-million dollar verdicts. With host Dan Ambrose, he recaps his victories and previews his session at TLU Beach (June 4-7), where he'll teach trial lawyers how to make non-economic damages tangible and relatable to jurors.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Bobby Taghavi | LinkedIn☑️ Sweet James Accident Attorneys | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTube☑️ TLU Beach☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode SnapshotBobby immigrated from Iran during the revolution at age 14, not speaking English; his first assigned book, "To Kill a Mockingbird," inspired his legal career.After graduating from University of San Diego Law School, Bobby joined the Orange County DA's office in 2006, trying close to 90 cases including sexual assault, homicides, and the Golden State Killer investigationInspired by a Steve Jobs' commencement address, Bobby left prosecution after 13 years when he realized he was spending energy on management tasks rather than trials.Since joining Sweet James in 2020, Bobby has helped grow the firm from 30 to 40 employees to over 400, with 60+...

After first joining the podcast back in episode 96, Taylor Trensch returns with a Tony nomination under his belt and a powerful performance in Floyd Collins that's leaving audiences breathless. We dive into the fascinating real-life story behind the show, his emotionally raw portrayal of journalist Skeets Miller, and how a tragic event from 100 years ago still mirrors today's media culture. Taylor shares what it's like to be the emotional center of a musical, how his understanding of connection has deepened post-lockdown, and the joy (and challenge) of performing for an audience that includes a dog with pink ears in the front row. From mental health advocacy to navigating the tension between real-life presence and online identity, Taylor gets candid about the evolution of his craft and the culture around him. He even takes us on a comedic detour into the plot of Cats (kind of) and imagines a version of Into the Woods that features Titus Burgess in every role, with the Muppets rounding out the cast. Whether you're here for the insight, the artistry, or the chaos—it's all here.Taylor Trensch is a Tony-nominated actor currently starring as Skeets Miller in Floyd Collins at Lincoln Center Theater. His past Broadway credits include Dear Evan Hansen, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Hello, Dolly!, and Matilda. He's also known for his advocacy around mental health and his commitment to emotionally resonant storytelling on stage.

Eric highlights the parallels between the song ("The Mockingbird and the Crow" by Hardy) and the journey of contractors in business. He analyzes the song's structure and lyrics to illustrate the duality faced by contractors: being a skilled worker (the "mockingbird") versus becoming a successful business owner (the "crow"). Participants in the discussion reflect on this analogy, sharing personal experiences of transformation, overcoming challenges, and the importance of coaching and community in their own professional growth, referencing specific role-playing exercises. The episode highlights the value of adapting, learning, and embracing change to reach one's full potential in the contracting world. Key Takeaways: Understand the journey from being a mockingbird who imitates others to becoming a crow who embodies intelligent change. Recognize that continuous learning, coaching, and adaptation are essential for growth and breaking through plateaus. Find a supportive community or mentor to provide guidance and positive peer pressure on your path. Learn to listen deeply, address internal negativity, and overcome pride or resistance to training. Use what you learn to become the best version of yourself, integrating systems while developing your unique style.

In God's name don't torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs.
