In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss Level Devil. We cover whether the game is a kaizo or a rage game, how enjoyable the game is to play without an audience, and how much slapstick comedy is too much slapstic comedy.

This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor sit down with Elizabeth Watson and Jane Allen Wilson from the North Carolina Victim Assistance Network for one of the most important conversations in veterinary medicine. Domestic violence affects far more veterinary professionals than most realize, yet it remains one of the least discussed workplace safety issues. Research shows that an estimated 1 in 5 women will experience some form of violence by a partner in their lifetime; chances are, someone listening is facing it right now.  Through candid discussion, the guests explain how to recognize warning signs in colleagues, clients, and even animal patients. They describe how abusers often isolate victims and use pets as tools of control, why victims hesitate to seek help, and what veterinarians and managers can do when they suspect abuse. The episode explores the practical and legal steps clinics can take, from safety planning to protective orders, to safeguard team members and their clients. This episode challenges the profession to view domestic violence as both a personal and a workplace concern, urging listeners to foster safer and more supportive veterinary environments. If someone needs confidential support, whether they need help right away or want to have someone to talk to and process with and process privately and safely, they can call, text, or chat with someone here: The National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ Additional resources, support, and information can be found here: - NCCADV - North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence - North Carolina Victim Assistance Network: https://nc-van.org/ - National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/do-you-think-youre-being-abused - National Network to End Domestic Violence: https://nnedv.org/get-help/more-information/ - Directory of each state and territory's state domestic violence coalitions: https://nnedv.org/content/state-u-s-territory-coalitions/ #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #SafeWorkplace #VeterinaryLeadership #MentalHealthInVetMed #VeterinaryWellbeing #VetMedStrong #DVAM2025

Send us a textA nationwide talent engine for chips is taking shape—and it's built to scale. Recorded live at SEMICON West in Phoenix, we sit down with SEMI Foundation leaders to unpack the National Network for Microelectronics Education, a hub-and-node model designed to align schools, employers, and workforce systems. Backed by CHIPS Act funding through the National Science Foundation, NNME will fund multi-state regional nodes that modernize curricula, streamline upskilling, and share proven playbooks across the country. We also unveil the refreshed Chip Path portal, which maps your skills and interests to real jobs in fabs, equipment, and materials, and we highlight SEMI-Quest, a hands-on STEM experience designed to spark early curiosity about microelectronics.Then we turn to sustainability where momentum is accelerating. The Semiconductor Climate Consortium has grown past 100 members and is shifting from baselines to projects that deliver measurable impact. We explore how the Energy Collaborative pushes for policy that opens affordable renewable power, while SCC advances user-side strategies—better emissions accounting, renewable procurement models, and fab energy efficiency. A core challenge emerges: hyperscalers often target net zero by 2030, while many chipmakers point to 2050. We dig into how coordinated innovation, shared standards, and advocacy can close that 20-year gap.AI's energy appetite raises the stakes, so we tackle both sides of the equation: adding clean capacity where it matters most and designing for lower power at the chip and fab level. From global cooperation across APAC, EU, and the U.S. to practical ways individuals and companies can act now, the throughline is collaboration with urgency. Ready to find your role in the future of chips—whether building skills, hiring smarter, or decarbonizing faster?

Off the Deep End is on the pulse of hot and relevant video games this week with a look at a video game from last year that you likely forgot came out, Dragon Age The Veilguard.

In this episode of the LiberatED podcast, Kerry McDonald talks with David Richards, founder and CEO of Changemaker Education, about his fascinating career path from banking to teaching, to launching charter schools, and now microschools. David shares how a simple LinkedIn post sparked the launch of six pilot microschools across the country—and how he plans to grow that network to 100 schools over the next decade. The conversation explores the promise and pitfalls of scaling microschools, including lessons from the charter school movement, the challenges of measuring quality, and the importance of keeping love, empowerment, and innovation at the center. David and Kerry also discuss how microschools can influence broader education systems—much like Netflix reshaped entertainment—and what it will take to prevent them from becoming burdened by bureaucracy. ***   Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

It's time to get a little bit fooly and a little bit cooly as our resident Ojisans discuss the seminal 2000 anime FLCL. Does it live up to their memories? How obvious is the symbolism? If a pink haired woman hit you in the head with a guitar, would a suggestively shaped horn come out of your forehead? Because the anime is only six episodes, they also briefly go over all of FLCL's bad sequels that came out a decade and a half later.

Hey, youth leaders! I'm working on a nation-wide research project, and I'd love your help! We're trying to answer this big question: What helps youth pastors thrive and stick around longer in ministry? We deeply believe that when a youth leader thrives—in their relationship with God, in healthy partnerships with others, and in making disciples—students win. But too many youth leaders are burning out, dropping out, or just hanging on by a thread. That's why we're launching a nationwide survey to figure out what actually helps youth leaders flourish long-term—and we want to hear from you.   What we're hoping to learn: What's the current average tenure of a youth pastor? What factors make someone more likely to stay in youth ministry longer? Does being part of a youth leader network actually make a difference?   Whether you're brand new to ministry or have been at it for decades, your input will help churches and ministries like National Network of Youth Ministries (NNYM) better support youth pastors—so we can see more leaders thriving and more students transformed by Jesus.   The survey takes just 5–10 minutes, is completely confidential, and as a thank-you, you'll be entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card.   Take the survey at the link below.    https://bit.ly/thriving-yp-survey-2025   Thank you in advance for helping shape a healthier future for youth ministry!

On July 9, the Department of Health and Human Services started the funding competition for organizations that work on the frontlines of helping youth who are homeless, have run away, and are either involved in or at risk of being trafficked. That notice came very late in the year, and many are worried the administration might run out of time to actually make grants. And, this year's competition will not include unique grants for street outreach, a major part of the federal program since the 1990s. Darla Bardine, executive director of the National Network for Youth, joins to provide detail and context around this year's long-delayed federal funding. And Barissa Ford, who is the director of community outreach and engagement for Youth In Need in St. Louis, discusses what street outreach means and what it takes to do that work well. Reading RoomIs the Trump Administration Slow-killing Certain Grants?https://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/is-the-trump-administration-slow-killing-certain-grants/262613White House Watchhttps://imprintnews.org/special-series/white-house-watch

In the grand tradition of our drafts for Law & Order and the Star Trek franchise, we're using this special episode to draft teams of staff, patients, loved ones, and inanimate shows from ER -- and who better to join us than Laura Hampton, a PA known to us from our Discord as an ER superfan who recently completed a full rewatch of the entire series? No one, which is why she's here picking a team AND organized the draft with the correct number of each category of character for us to choose from. Now we're going to need YOU to vote for which team reigns supreme! Laura also presents Doug saving Ben from a flooding storm drain in "Hell And High Water" for induction into the Hero category of the Tiny Canon. Finally, we close with an on-theme game about body parts in the names of TV shows and actors. Get listening, STAT! GUESTS

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss Blue Prince! We cover the game's unique structure, the tension between the rogue-like and puzzle elements, and the game's "ending". We also have a rather spirited debate about how much the random elements help or hurt the game overall. Sorry for the audio weirdness, we're figuring it out.

Once again the Off the Deep End triumvirate (Braden, Chris, Adam) have delved into long forgotten dungeons in order to procure the wisdom of D.W. Bradley from ages long past. Exploring the seventh Wizardry game is no easy task, however, as they have to brave its intricate world, complex character building, and very 1992 sense of difficulty. You'll also learn about Wizardry Gaiden, Wizardry 6, Wizardry 8, games that came out in roughly the same time period as Wizardry 7, and in general the word Wizardry is going to be spoken too many times. We're not sorry.  Please consider donating to the National Network of Abortion Funds: abortionfunds.org/donate If you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/DeepListens If you like our new art and want to commission some of your own, reach out to Tyler at tylerorbin.net
