The New York Times Book Review recently released its list of the 50 best thrillers of the 21st century. To put it together, the team asked almost 300 authors and other experts to vote for the best heart-thumping, page-turning, white knuckle reads published since 2000. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks with the Times thrillers columnist, Sarah Lyall, about how the list came together. Then, Natalie speaks with one of the greatest thriller writers of this century — with four books featured on the list — the author Tana French. On Today's Episode: Sarah Lyall writes a monthly thrillers column for The New York Times. Tana French is the author of many best-selling books, including “In the Woods,” “The Searcher,” “The Likeness” and “The Witch Elm.” Background Reading: The 50 Best Thrillers of the 21st Century Photo credit: Naila Ruechel Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The Pentagon ranks biological warfare as a greater threat than nuclear war — and investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen spent years finding out why. The Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Nuclear War joins Newt Gingrich to discuss her new book, Biological War: A Scenario, which charts the terrifying hours and days following a lab leak at Russia's Vector Institute. Jacobsen reveals how a Soviet-era "super plague" engineered with a euphoria gene could spread across six continents in days, why 3,500 BSL-3 labs worldwide represent a ticking clock, and what COVID failed to teach us about preparedness. Most chillingly, she exposes the classified U.S. government "Devolution Plan" — a secret continuity program designed to preserve the government underground while society collapses above. Her reporting is a warning — and a call to action before the next lab leak makes the scenario real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it possible for us to ever wholeheartedly trust a machine the way we would a human? According to Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection, the answer is no. And that's what stops us from being able to emotionally connect with AI chatbots.In this episode of Pioneers of AI, host Rana el Kaliouby and Duhigg dissect what's really happening when people confide in ChatGPT and why real connection depends on reciprocity and vulnerability, two things AI can't offer.Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ukraine is running desperately low on interceptor missiles, leaving its cities and people nearly defenseless against Russian missile and drone attacks. How Russia has been able to sustain those attacks has been a mystery — until now. Today, Jane Bradley, a Britain-based investigative reporter for The New York Times, explains her investigation into the spy network that has allowed the Kremlin to keep this war going. Guest: Jane Bradley, a Britain-based investigative reporter for The New York Times. Background reading:  A Russian spy who used the Aeroflot office in Tokyo to smuggle high-tech weapon components into Russia has left Japan after a Times report. Operating out of a Tokyo high-rise, a military intelligence unit takes advantage of Japan's weak espionage laws to find the high-tech equipment that Russia needs to wage war. Photo: Chang W.

We're in a really strange moment in the foreign policy politics of the Democratic Party. People are looking for an alternative vision — an approach to American power in the world that would feel more moral and just, after the failures of President Biden, and the wrecking ball President Trump has taken to international rules and norms. The answer many on the left are coming to is powerfully simple: international law. America could just start following the rules that we helped write. Is that possible? Is that enough? What would that even look like? To talk through these questions, I invited Linda Kinstler on the show. She's a member of the Society of Fellows at Harvard, a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine, and the author of “Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends.” She's done some incredible writing and reporting on whether what we're watching is the death of international law. In this conversation, we talk about the Biden administration's failures to live up to the principles it set for itself, the Trump administration's campaign to destroy the International Criminal Court and what it would take to reinvigorate international law.

Some of us will sit in years of low grade misery rather than have one uncomfortable conversation. Jen will be first to raise her hand. She has put off a confrontation so long that the frustration outlasted the thing she was frustrated about. Saying the quiet thing out loud is not only about the truths we tell ourselves. Sometimes it is the sentence we owe another person, the one we have been rehearsing in the shower for eight months and still have not said.Dr. Rick Hanson is a psychologist, senior fellow at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times bestselling author of Making Great Relationships. He reframes the whole problem in a way that took the air out of Jen's dread: confrontation is not a personality trait you either have or you do not. It is a skill, which means it can be learned and practiced.In this episode, Jen and Rick explore:Why relationships are built out of small back and forth interactionsThe difference between what comes at you and what you send back, and where your real power livesRick's five part checklist for wise speech, plus the optional sixthWhat to do when a conversation goes sideways, and how to know your own linesThe permission to resize a relationship instead of ending itIf you have been carrying something for months waiting for the right moment, consider this a nudge and a toolkit.Thought-provoking Quotes:“Relationships are made from interactions. The gradual weight of interactions, for better or worse, over time shapes the relationship.” (Dr. Rick Hanson)“What comes over the net is out of our control in the moment. But what we do at that point, how we respond, what we choose, that is under our control.” (Dr. Rick Hanson)“Most arguments are about the past. They will never see it your way. The best you can get them to do is agree to something different from now on.” (Dr. Rick Hanson)“I never get free until I identify whatever I was responsible for, which sometimes is zero.” (Dr. Rick Hanson)“I will walk around with a conflict in my brain and heart and bury it until it comes out sideways. Because it does. It will find a way out.” (Jen Hatmaker)Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Making Great Relationships by Dr. Rick HansonMother Nurture by Dr. Rick HansonNonviolent Communication by Marshall B.

Imagine, if you will, that for unknown reasons North Korea has just launched a nuclear bomb at the United States. What happens next? The journalist Annie Jacobsen has imagined exactly that, and spent more than a decade interviewing dozens of experts while mastering the voluminous literature on the subject — some of it declassified only in recent years — for her 2024 book “Nuclear War: A Scenario,” which walks readers through the 72 minutes from launch to global annihilation. In the Book Review, Barry Gewen said the book was “gripping” and declared it essential reading “if you want to understand the complex and disturbing details that go into a civilization-destroying decision.” Jacobsen now has another book out: “Biological War: A Scenario.” Our critic Dwight Garner wrote in his review that it “moves like a meteor.” For this week's episode, we revisit the conversation the host Gilbert Cruz had with Jacobsen last year, in which she discussed why she wrote “Nuclear War,” and how she managed to compile so many details about topics that are among the most secret in the world.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Teri Ijeoma. A stock trader, entrepreneur, educator, and New York Times bestselling author of The Risk Worth Taking. The conversation focuses on her journey from elementary school assistant principal to successful investor, her philosophy on risk-taking, and her mission to teach financial literacy and wealth-building through stock market investing. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Promote Teri's new book, The Risk Worth Taking. The book uses a fictional story inspired by her own journey to teach investing while helping readers overcome fear and uncertainty. Educate listeners about investing and financial freedom. Teri explains her investing philosophy, online courses, and practical framework for making investment decisions. Inspire entrepreneurship and courageous decision-making. She shares how leaving a toxic work environment and traveling the world led to her successful business and investing career. Show how faith, education, and calculated risk-taking can create opportunities and wealth. Teri emphasizes that financial success often follows courageous action and consistent learning. Key Takeaways 1. Success Begins with a Willingness to Take Risks Teri left her position as an assistant principal and chose an uncertain path that ultimately transformed her life. Her story illustrates that meaningful growth often requires stepping beyond comfort and security. Lesson: Major opportunities frequently exist on the other side of uncertainty. 2. Fear Is a Bigger Obstacle Than Knowledge After teaching more than 40,000 students, Teri discovered that many people understand investing but hesitate to act because of fear. Lesson: Financial success requires both knowledge and the confidence to take action. 3. Investing Creates Freedom Teri views investing as more than a way to earn money. She believes it provides flexibility, options, and the ability to pursue one's passions. Lesson: Wealth should be viewed as a tool that expands life choices and personal freedom. 4. Simple Education Drives Results One reason for her success is her ability to explain complex financial concepts in an accessible way. Her teaching style removes intimidation and helps people build confidence. Lesson: Complex subjects become achievable when taught clearly and practically. 5. Courage Comes Before Clarity Teri challenges the belief that people need a perfect plan before taking action. She argues that courage is often required first, with clarity developing afterward. Lesson: Waiting for perfect certainty can prevent progress. 6. Faith and Purpose Shape Success Her educational journey from MIT to Dallas Theological Seminary influenced both her career and worldview. She sees teaching investing as a calling that helps people improve their lives. Lesson: Combining talent with purpose creates greater impact. 7. AI and Economic Change Will Increase the Need for Financial Literacy Teri believes technological changes may disrupt traditional employment. She hopes more people will learn to invest so they can create income and opportunities independently. Lesson: Financial education is becoming increasingly important in a rapidly changing economy. The Four C's Framework A central concept in The Risk Worth Taking is the framework for taking smart risks: 1. Courage Taking the first step despite uncertainty. 2. Clarity Learning the fundamentals and understanding the opportunity. 3. Caution Managing risk and making informed decisions. 4. Confidence Developing expertise and trusting your process. Notable Quotes On Risk-Taking "This is a risk, yes. Every investment comes with a little bit of uncertainty, but it's still worth it." On Leaving Comfort Zones "If I had not stepped out, none of this would have been possible." On Courage "Your whole life is on the other side of courage." On Financial Freedom "If I can teach you how to invest, I can teach you how to have options in your life. I can teach you how to have more freedom in your life." On Faith "I just had to not trust in everything I could see... if I walk in this gift and just do the thing that's been on my heart, God will take care of the rest." On Action Versus Planning "Sometimes you just have to have the courage to step out... then you can figure it all out." On Her Mission "This is my new form of ministry." On Her Desired Legacy "Because of Teri Ijeoma and her great teaching on finances and investing, all of the people that were becoming unemployed learned how to use their severance packages to invest in the stock market and start building their own careers and freedom." Overall Assessment The interview is ultimately about much more than stock trading. It is a conversation about personal transformation, courage, faith, entrepreneurship, and financial empowerment. Teri Ijeoma presents investing as a vehicle for creating freedom and opportunity, while encouraging listeners to overcome fear, take calculated risks, and pursue a larger vision for their lives. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

For once, we can all agree with AOC: Woke 1 was crazy. But rather than laugh it off and set the stage for "true woke has never been tried," perhaps we could ask the youths to learn from their mistakes. To that end, we were pleased to chat with Evan Barker, a former fundraiser who worked within the Democratic Party's establishment and progressive insurgent wing. Having left the party in disgust in 2024, she penned the just-released New York Times bestseller, Nothing Left. James, Steve, and Charlie sat down with Evan to hear her story.Plus, the trio discuss JD Vance's take on how to sway the youngins from socialism; the Trump admin's new childhood vaccination policy; and the coming Reagan biopic about the 1986 Reykjavik Summit with Gorby.Opening Sound this week: AOC laughs off “Woke I” on ABC's This Week, and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, attorney for Luigi Mangione, talks about his“unfair” treatment.Closing Music: "Je Plante Mes Légumes," by Bamtone via MotionArrayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

Podcasting 2.0 August 14th 2026 Episode 267 - "Chocolove" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - THE SPOTIFY "SKIP AHEAD" BUTTON — THE BIG ONE What it is: Spotify is testing a button that appears on the playback screen the moment it thinks you'd want to skip — an intro, a sponsorship message, or an entire ad break. It is bigger than everything else on screen. One tap drops you at the end of the break, back in the show. Premium subscribers only, selected markets including US and UK, and only when the app is in the foreground. Who broke it: James Cridland at Pod News, 4 August 2026 — an exclusive. Spotify never announced it. Semafor and most of the trade press picked it up afterwards; Cridland noted on air this week that some of them ran it without credit. The number that makes it different from a skip button: Cridland's arithmetic — skipping a typical ad break by hand is nine presses of the 15-second button, plus a correction tap when you overshoot. Skip Ahead is one. "Some people have said, oh, but you've been able to skip for years and this is no different. But a button that only appears when it's stuff that Spotify thinks you should be skipping is a start." It skips other people's money: the button fires on third-party ads — Acast, Odyssey, the New York Times — and on ads inside Spotify's own shows. It even skipped Search Engine's read for its own paid tier, PJ Vogt pitching Incognito Mode. One half of Spotify sells advertisers reach; the other half hands listeners a button to leave. Spotify's answer, and the trapdoor in it: Spotify told Cridland it is "not affecting ad delivery." True only if delivery means to the device. Cridland: "If ad delivery is to the listener's ear, which is actually what people are paying for..." — the download still counts, the ad still gets billed, the human never hears it. Spotify's other defence: the button merely shows where other listeners already skip. Cridland: "I'm not entirely sold on that, but if that's what Spotify say, I mean they wouldn't lie."

Episode 1015 takes apart James Carville, the "rusted-out antique device" who trashes progressives on Fox News over a single deleted Thanksgiving tweet and then pivots to backing the very candidate he just attacked, all while forgetting his own most famous line ("It's the economy, stupid"). Driftglass and Blue Gal do the math on his supposed DSA takeover panic — two national officeholders versus 257 mainline Democrats — and coin a new verb, "Carvilling," for pundits who tantrum toward MAGA cameras whenever Democrats won't chase imaginary hippies. The episode also solves a year-and-a-half mystery: why Jamelle Bouie waited so long to demolish a David Brooks column, tracing it back through Bob Herbert, Paul Krugman, and Reagan's Neshoba County dog whistle to an unwritten New York Times rule against columnists attacking colleagues in print. It's about faithless allies, decibels versus messaging, and the actual math behind a manufactured crisis.Links for this episode: Driftglass on The Bob Cesca Show – https://www.bobcesca.com/the-bob-cesca-interview-driftglass-day-8-12-26/Driftglass on The Nicole Sandler Show – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyneHDGQkr8 Carville on CNN https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/05/politics/james-carville-election-what-mattersJamelle Bouie, full video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46tpqFxfomI More at proleftpod.com. Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Jen Psaki criticizes the priorities of outgoing Donald Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt for avoiding good faith engagement with real reporters' questions while elevating Trump sycophants. Senator Mark Kelly talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump making extreme and expensive demands for changes to aircraft carriers without having any idea what he's actually talking about.  Jen Psaki shares reporting from the New York Times about hundreds of millions of dollars worth of planes purchased by the Department of Homeland Security that are sitting idle because DHS lacked the foresight to realize the cost of maintaining a fleet of airplanes. John Sandweg, former acting director of ICE, joins to discuss. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast. In this episode, Brett McDermott sits down with David Burkus, organizational psychologist, Columbia University professor, and best‑selling author whose research has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. David makes the case that talent doesn't make the team—the team makes the talent.Together, Brett and David explore why leaders often get team‑building backwards, focusing too much on individual talent instead of the habits and norms that create culture. David shares the three elements that define high‑performing teams: common understanding, psychological safety, and pro‑social purpose. He explains how leaders can audit their team's sense of purpose, outsource inspiration by bringing in customer stories, and make metrics meaningful. They also dive into the misconceptions around psychological safety, why treating everyone “equally” is not the same as treating them fairly, and how remote leaders can recreate unstructured moments of connection virtually.This episode is packed with actionable insights for leaders who want to stop chasing talent and start building cultures where talent thrives.Key Takeaways:Why talent doesn't make the team—the team makes the talentThe three pillars of high‑performing teams: common understanding, psychological safety, pro‑social purposeHow to audit and clarify team purposeWhy leaders should outsource inspiration with customer storiesThe difference between fairness and equality in managementHow to build psychological safety through respectful conflict and candorWhat great remote leaders do to recreate unstructured moments of connection

This week, Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist running for governor in Wisconsin, suffered an upset after a double-digit lead in the polls. Last week, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive, pulled off a stunning victory in Michigan against his well-funded opponent. Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York Times, makes sense of what happened in Wisconsin and Michigan, and what it might tell us about the future of the Democratic Party. Guest: Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York Times. Background reading:  Dr. El-Sayed's triumph against an establishment-backed candidate in Michigan was a big win for the left. Ms. Hong's defeat in Wisconsin defied expectations and may have shown that the democratic socialist wave cannot reach beyond urban centers.

Donald Trump's poll numbers are trash — and numbers for right-wing influencers on YouTube, Twitter and elsewhere are going down the tubes, too. As the New York Times reported at the end of last month, some of the biggest names in right-wing media are experiencing massive declines in clicks and views to their content. David Pakman is the host of the David Pakman Show on YouTube – and he's been thinking a lot about the algorithms that control what we watch, read, listen to and think about. He stopped by to talk about how right-wing media has become a victim of its own success.And in headlines, Karoline Leavitt is leaving the White House at the end of the month to spend more time with her family, U.S. inflation declined slightly last month and what's behind Zohran Mamdani's approval rating after eight months in office.Show Notes: Check out David's show – https://tinyurl.com/3eh3tczj Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Piracetam, Racetams & Nootropics: Dave Asprey on the Original Smart Drug, Brain Optimization and How to Biohack Memory, Focus and Cognitive Decline We're excited to bring you another Dave solo education masterclass, this one breaking down the molecule that started the entire nootropics industry: Racetams Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey pulls back the curtain on piracetam and the racetam family, the original nootropics that quietly built the foundation for modern human performance and brain optimization. As the father of biohacking and someone who has taken racetams almost every single day for 25 years, Dave brings firsthand experience most experts simply don't have. He built two Bulletproof-era companies and led the biohacking movement while running this stack daily, and in this episode, he shares exactly how it worked for him. Dave traces the strange 1964 Belgian lab discovery that forced scientists to invent the word "nootropic" in the first place, then breaks down how these compounds shift acetylcholine, glutamate, and AMPA signaling to improve memory, focus, and neuroplasticity without touching dopamine or spiking your heart rate. He covers the mitochondria and membrane fluidity mechanisms behind the anti-aging and longevity effects, walks through dosing for all five major racetams, and explains who actually benefits versus who's wasting their money. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, functional medicine, and brain optimization. Whether you're stacking supplements for sleep optimization, exploring fasting and ketosis for metabolism, or just trying to think clearer without sacrificing your health, this episode hands you a real framework for hacking cognitive decline before it starts. You'll Learn: Why piracetam forced scientists to invent the term "nootropic" and what actually qualifies as one How racetams change acetylcholine, glutamate, and AMPA signaling without acting like a stimulant The link between racetams, mitochondria, and neuroplasticity, and why it matters for anti-aging Dosing breakdowns for piracetam, aniracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam, and phenylpiracetam Who benefits most: aging brains, stroke recovery, athletes, and anyone flying frequently How to stack racetams with choline, Danger Coffee, and other supplements the smarter not harder way The regulatory mess keeping safe, tested nootropics out of reach in the US Thank you to our sponsors! - ALP | Head to http://alppouch.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off your first order. - Pique | Head over to Piquelife.com/Dave to get 20% off your order. - OneSkin | Get 15% off OneSkin with the code DAVE at https://www.oneskin.co/DAVE #oneskinpod Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Sex & Politics #46 Can we really change? Welcome to Sex & Politics!For this bonus episode, Dan chatted with Benoit Denizet-Lewis, an associate professor at Emerson College, a longtime contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, and the author, most recently, of “You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation.” He and Dan talked about the various ways people can change- how prisoners who have the possibility of parole can improve themselves and prove they've done so. They talk about the ex-gay movement, specifically Michael Glatze, who went from gay activist to anti-gay activist. And they answered a call from a man whose wife's weight loss has completely altered their sex life.

For my final episode as host of “Interesting Times,” I wanted a fitting finale — a conversation that encapsulates the ambition of this show: examining how seemingly radical ideas are steadily entering the mainstream of American politics, technology and culture. Few ideas are as radical as the hope of significant life extension and the quest to live forever. My guest today thinks he can outrun death. After selling his tech company for hundreds of millions of dollars and experiencing a profound religious crisis, Bryan Johnson turned his own body into the ultimate science project, centered on an explicit mission: Don't die. But why does Johnson want to live forever, and what lessons can his algorithmically driven lifestyle bring to the rest of us? It's been an honor hosting this podcast and navigating these strange waters with you. “Interesting Times” will be back with new episodes and new hosts in the fall. 0:00 Why Bryan Johnson Wants to Defeat Death 1:18 The Core Premise of "Don't Die" vs. Immortality 3:26 Selling Braintree/Venmo & Personal Collapse 6:33 Leaving the Mormon Church & Searching for Meaning 7:45 Launching Project Blueprint: Body as Philosophy 11:35 Bryan Johnson's Daily Longevity Routine & Biological Age Metrics 15:06 How AI Builds "Autonomous Health" for the Human Body 17:58 The Best Habits to Optimize Health: Sleep & Heart Rate 21:32 Blueprint Products, Supplements, & Testing 23:46 Reversing Biological Aging: Saunas & HBOT 25:24 Can Psychedelics Extend Lifespan?

Sarah is still in her Camp Era, and that includes giving us tips on nobody's-favorite-game, Simon Says. She is ruthless. We discuss why kids still get homesick sometimes when they're at camp, but now counselors are noticing that parents are "kid-sick," and have separation anxiety while their kids are away. Sarah offers an ADHD life hack that she created after becoming obsessed with the camp salad bar. Susie is just amazed that she's rolling the dice eating lettuce during a national parasitic outbreak. We discuss a funny Jimmy Kimmel clip that made Susie think about sunken cost fallcy and the plasticity of our minds. We learn about a man whose window on a flight broke, depressurizing the plane, and sucking his head outside while his wife had to hold on to him. Sarah rants about the price of margaritas at the Fresno airport, which is not a relatable story, but is hilarious.00:00 - Susie's Red Lips and Wild Stories Ahead00:44 - The ADHD Friend Who Disappears and Reappears02:27 - The Challenges of Kids' Medications at Summer Camp08:33 - Sarah's Simon Says Trick for Managing Feral Campers10:22 - How Technology is Ruining Camp Independence19:58 - Sarah's ADHD Life Hack: The Refrigerator Salad Bar23:45 - Processed Meats and Post-Camp Health Check-up29:01 - Bewitched, Simpsons, and Mom's Onion Remedies30:29 - Jimmy Kimmel, Placebo Effect, and Brain's Weirdness35:32 - Surviving a Flight Nightmare and Expressing Airline Rage47:06 - Apologies to the Dodo: Not Dumb, Just Misunderstood52:44 - Outrageous Margarita Prices at Fresno Airport53:50 - Join Patreon, Use Codes, Leave a Five-Star ReviewBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

In today’s episode, Becket Cook sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas to discuss his powerful new book Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Timed with America’s 250th anniversary, Metaxas reveals why the American Revolution stands alone in history—rooted in the biblical conviction that the colonists rejected an earthly king to look directly to God—and unpacks lesser-known details from John Adams’ 1761 courtroom flashpoint with James Otis Jr. and the Writs of Assistance, through the Stamp Act, Samuel Adams as the true “Father of the Revolution,” Patrick Henry’s bold defiance, the killing of 11-year-old Christopher Seider, George Whitefield’s Great Awakening influence, the Boston Tea Party, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, and the real timeline of the Declaration of Independence. Metaxas also dismantles myths (George Washington was no deist), celebrates heroes like John Hancock and Joseph Warren, and explains why every American must reclaim this God-centered founding story to preserve liberty for the next 250 years. A must-watch conversation on the American Revolution, Founding Fathers, and the birth of the greatest nation in world history.

He tells some fascinating stories that he uncovered during his research that challenge or complicate a lot of cultural perceptions about: freedom (often, sadly, the death knell of creativity!), originality and innovation (turns out there is an optimal level of newness), famous moments of insight and breakthrough (these surprised me), and the relationship between constraints and personal satisfaction (might surprise you).  For the show notes, head to eliseloehnen.com.

When President Trump left Turkey, the White House said publicly that he was boarding the old Air Force One — but that plane was a decoy. In a highly elaborate escape plan prompted by a credible Iranian threat, Trump was secretly moved through a catering cart to a military aircraft, leaving passengers unknowingly flying on the decoy plane. Today, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, details the operation's risks and what it reveals about how seriously the administration views the danger to the president.

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired on December 9, 2012. The late Nobel Peace Prize winner, professor, New York Times bestselling author, humanitarian and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel discusses his life-changing heart surgery and his latest memoir, “Open Heart.” He shares the fears associated with his life-saving operation and how they allowed him to re-examine his career and deepen his devotion to his family. Elie also explains what he hopes will be the destiny of his life's work. Elie Wiesel was just 15 years old when he was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Years later, he would write his firsthand account of the Holocaust in what has become what many consider to be one of the most important books of our time, “Night.” In 2006, Elie returned to Auschwitz to meet Oprah and walk the grounds of the 6,700-acre complex and reflect on the lives that were lost in the 20th century's greatest tragedy. Elie passed away in 2016 at his home in Manhattan. He was 87 years old. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jenny Singer thought she had a lung fungus. That would explain the shortness of breath that she was experiencing. The doctor's other explanation was anxiety, which seemed completely out of the question to her. But as time went on, Jenny found herself increasingly focused on her “breathing problem,” as she called it, in a way that made it nearly impossible to connect with anyone. Eventually, Singer realized she didn't have a lung fungus. She admitted to herself that she felt anxious and concluded that she wasn't cut out for the kind of romantic connection she desired. Then, she met someone she absolutely did not want a romantic connection with, and hanging out with him felt great. Suddenly, she no longer felt anxious. It was exactly what she needed. This week on the “Modern Love” podcast, Singer explains how anxiety interfered in her love life, and what it took to find the kind of relationship she always wanted.

A three-year-old girl's imaginary friend turned out to be a real man – one who had been dead for fifteen years before she was born.BOOK: “They Told Me My Newborn Died – They Lied: A Global History of Stolen Babies” by Darren Marlar: https://amzn.to/45fNXptEPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/heidiwyrickREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5a4fwj7tFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Deep in the Balsam Mountains of North Carolina, a shaggy eight-foot creature has been stealing gems and watching women bathe since the early 1900s — and the word used to name him came from a Lewis Carroll poem written the moment after a sleepless night at a dying man's bedside. (The Boojum) *** In 1980, a group of artists in Baltimore took out an ad in a major international magazine — not to sell anything, and not to promote a show. They were sending an invitation. The guests they were hoping to attract just hadn't been born yet. (Krononauts Party) *** A three-year-old girl in rural Georgia started playing with an imaginary friend — and then her family found out he was real, and had been dead for fifteen years. The question that nobody has been able to answer isn't whether she knew him. It's how.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 11, 2026Weird Darkness moves through three cases this episode: a decade-long haunting in rural Georgia that a university parapsychologist wired with scientific instruments, an eight-foot gem-hoarding creature that Appalachian locals have hunted for over a century, and a 1980 Baltimore art stunt that advertised a party for time travelers.It opens with the Wyrick haunting, which began in March of 1989 when three-year-old Heidi Wyrick walked in from the backyard of her family's new home on Swint Loop in Ellerslie, Georgia, and asked to keep swinging with an old man her mother couldn't see. The friend Heidi called Mr. Gordy matched James Gordy, a former caretaker of the property who had died in 1974, down to his silver hair, dark suit, and top hat; a second, wounded visitor she named Con matched Lon Batchelor, a man who lost his hand in a cotton gin accident and died in 1957. Before she could read, Heidi ran straight to Gordy's headstone in a cemetery of hundreds and later picked his face from a blind photo lineup. By 1993 the activity had turned violent, with a faceless dark figure, claw marks appearing on Heidi and her father Andy across consecutive nights, and a ribbon found wound around the throat of infant daughter Jordan, and the family brought in Dr. William Roll, a parapsychologist known from Unsolved Mysteries, who recorded an electromagnetic spike past 40 milligauss, elevated positive ions, and nearby seismic activity, then admitted he could not explain the scratches. Medium Amy Allan, later of The Dead Files, and a second psychic working separately placed the same entities in the same rooms, and the Wyricks finally left the house after Andy and Lisa found Heidi suspended upside down above her bed. The case appears in the Discovery Channel's 2002 film A Haunting in Georgia and the 2013 movie The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia, and in The Veil: The Heidi Wyrick Story, the firsthand account written by Heidi's aunt Joyce.From there the episode climbs into the Balsam Mountains of western North Carolina for the legend of the Boojum, a creature said to stand six to eight feet tall, covered in shaggy gray hair, with a disturbingly human face. According to Haywood County lore, the Boojum hoards the region's real gemstones – North Carolina is the only state that holds all four major precious gems, and the 1,869-carat uncut emerald pulled from the North American Emerald Mine in Hiddenite in 2003 is a matter of record – stashing them in moonshine jugs buried in hidden caves. The first written accounts cluster around the Eagle Nest Hotel, a forty-room hay-fever resort that opened on Eagle Nest Mountain in 1900 and burned in 1918, where guests were warned that the Boojum hid in the mountain laurel to watch women bathing in the forest pools. At the center of the legend is a woman named Annie, who chose to live with him as his wife and whose calls across the ridges are said, in local folk etymology, to have given the word "hootenanny" its name. The segment traces the creature's name back to Lewis Carroll's 1876 nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark, sets the story against the Cherokee removal along the Trail of Tears and the eviction of Appalachian families to create Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and lands in present-day Waynesville, where Boojum Brewing carries the legend's name.The episode closes with the Krononauts, a group from Baltimore's avant-garde art scene who, in January of 1980, ran an advertisement on page 90 of Artforum magazine inviting time travelers to a party in Baltimore on March 9th, 1982, a date chosen because all nine planets would line up more closely than they had in nearly two hundred years, an alignment popularized by the 1974 book The Jupiter Effect. Hundreds of people came, the New York Times covered it and described the scene as an epidemic of temporary lunacy, and no one produced any evidence of time travel, since the organizers' real aim was the permanent paper trail, built on the logic that a documented invitation could be found and answered from any point in the future. The segment follows the same experiment forward through MIT graduate student Amal Dorai's 2005 Time Traveler Convention and physicist Stephen Hawking's 2009 reception at Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge, where Hawking mailed the invitations only after the party had ended and took the empty room as evidence for his chronology protection conjecture, and it ends with an original song, "Krononauts Party," by Dark Weirdness.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING?

Right now, inside your body, cells are dividing. Each time they divide, they must copy an enormous instruction manual: your DNA. Most copies are remarkably accurate. Some acquire changes. We tend to think of DNA as fixed. You receive it from your parents, carry it through life, and perhaps pass part of it to your children. But scientists are finding that inheritance is only the opening chapter. As we grow older, our cells collect mutations. Sunlight can leave its mark on skin cells. Tobacco smoke can alter cells in the lungs. Inflammation, infection, copying errors, environmental exposures, and simple chance can all play a part. Most of those changes may never matter. Some help our immune system recognize new threats. A few give one population of cells an advantage over its neighbors. And some are associated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, or other health risks. That means the cells in your body do not all carry precisely the same genetic story. For those of us in our 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond, this raises a fascinating question: How much of our health is inherited, and how much continues to be written as we live? Our guest is award-winning science journalist and Smithsonian Associate Roxanne Khamsi. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, WIRED, The Economist, and other leading publications. Her new book is Beyond Inheritance: Our Ever-Mutating Cells and a New Understanding of Health. Roxanne Khamsi, welcome to The Not Old Better Show.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Jennifer Esposito, actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, and the writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills. Today Jennifer is getting into the full story behind Fresh Kills… where the idea came from, what it cost her to make it, and why the industry did everything it could to make sure you never heard of it. From growing up in Staten Island surrounded by the mafia and the young women trapped inside that world, to betting her house(literally!)  on a film she believed in with everything she had, Jennifer takes us through the fight of her creative life. She opens up about members of the industry who didn't show up when she needed them most, the standing ovation at Tribeca that still couldn't get her a distribution deal for an entire year, and the Hollywood machine that tried to bury Fresh Kills. And now that a major studio is positioning their new Godfather film as the "first female mafia story"? Jennifer has something to say about that. Then just when you think the story can't hit any harder, she lands in Paris,  and for the first time in her entire life, her nervous system goes quiet. She tells us what life is like in Paris, and how she's finally transformed her life and health for the better.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You were never the problem. Jennifer spent years in Hollywood shrinking herself to fit a mold that was never built for her…. told she wasn't the right type, wasn't white enough, wasn't the girl next door. The moment she stopped trying to be what everyone else needed her to be and started making Fresh Kills on her own terms, everything changed. Bet on yourself before you ask anyone else to. Jennifer mortgaged her house because she was done asking people who didn't believe in her to fund something they couldn't understand. When no one would greenlight her vision, she greenlit it herself. That is the Heal Squad mindset. Stop waiting for someone to give you what you already know you deserve, and start moving. You can't heal in the environment that made you sick. Three months in Paris and Jennifer barely recognizes herself. Smiling on the street. In the pool. Playing records. She says she has never in her entire life had a calm nervous system, until now.  Join us at our Canyon Ranch 2026 Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/lenox/retreats/heal-retreat-maria-menounos HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow & DM Jennifer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jesposito/ Watch Fresh Kills On Amazon & Hulu: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0F1R6WV33?ref_=atv_dp_share_cu_r https://www.hulu.com/movie/fresh-kills-6dc67f61-efc6-4cf2-8000-06144ef58e9f Check out Jennifer's Way: My Journey with Celiac Disease--What Doctors Don t Tell You and How You Can Learn to Live Again: https://a.co/d/01EQTdB1 Check out Jennifer's Way Kitchen: Easy Allergen-Free, Anti-Inflammatory Recipes for a Delicious Life:  https://a.co/d/00PHXToq More About The AIP Diet: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

As the fighting with Iran has dragged on, American forces have been burning through their weapons, creating a shortage of munitions that is leaving the United States and its allies in the region much more vulnerable. Today, Eric Schmitt, a national security correspondent for The New York Times, explains why Washington is running out of key missiles so quickly, and how the munitions shortage might affect the safety of U.S. troops and the Trump administration's efforts to end the war.
