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?

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Gary John Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of Unfuk Yourself* and his newest book, Now What?: You, Your Life, and the Truth You've Been Avoiding, to explore what happens when you've done the work, gained the insight, and still find yourself stuck. Gary challenges our constant drive to fix, improve, and understand ourselves. He explains how we can spend years gathering insight while continuing to live from the same stories, explanations, and internal dialogue. Real change begins when we recognize that our thoughts and feelings do not have to determine what we do next. Throughout the conversation, Gary shares why being present means being "here for what's here," how the language we use can create the world we experience, and why responsibility gives us greater freedom and choice. He also explains how to stop treating your internal state as a compass and start exploring what becomes possible when you choose your actions differently. Gary and Cindra discuss navigating setbacks, stepping outside the pressure to constantly become better, and creating a life based on who you choose to be. His simple question, "Now what?", creates space to move beyond old explanations and see possibilities that may have been hidden before. This conversation is a powerful invitation to acknowledge the noise in your head, get present to the life in front of you, and recognize how much say you have in what comes next. You'll Learn: Why gaining more insight can sometimes keep you stuck How the endless pursuit of self-improvement can limit what you believe is possible What it means to be "here for what's here" Why your thoughts and emotions do not have to determine your actions How the language you use shapes the possibilities you can see Why being stuck often involves repeating the same conversations and decisions How taking unconditional responsibility can create greater freedom What to do when your inner critic shows up How to respond differently when facing setbacks, uncertainty, or pressure Why asking "Now what?" can help you move beyond your past and create what comes next Episode Resources & Links Gary's Website: https://garyjohnbishop.com/ Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Download the National Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Pre-order The Confidence Habit: https://www.confidencetools.com/

Remember when Trump lost the birthright citizenship case? Because he doesn't. ----- Despite protestations that its deal with the Trump administration didn't forfeit the firm's independence, Paul Weiss reportedly seriously debated letting Stephen Miller review the firm's webpage edits according to the New York Times. The same reporting turned up the $3.5 million the firm spent to make its first openly transgender partner leave quietly. Elsewhere, Biglaw is now the largest employer of new law grads, even though it's a bigger slice of a smaller pie, with first-year hiring down for the first time since 2014. And having lost the birthright citizenship case, Donald Trump signed new executive orders explaining that he won it, moving one antecedent about six words to the left and calling it a holding. It's kicking off a string of proclamations from the White House that it's the real winner of cases it decidedly lost.

If you've ever wrestled with grief, questioned what happens after death, or wondered whether God is still pursuing those who seem far from Him, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and lasting hope.Meet John BurkeJohn is the founder and former lead pastor of Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, a multisite church that has grown to more than 4,500 people since its launch in 1998. He is also the president of Gateway Leadership Initiative, equipping church planters and everyday Christians to “raise the church out of the culture.” John is a New York Times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven and has written several influential books, including No Perfect People Allowed, Soul Revolution, and his newest work, Imagine the God of Heaven.

Infertility? IVF is not the only option. In this episode of The Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse Show, Dr. J sits down with Emma Waters of The Heritage Foundation to discuss IVF, infertility, donor conception, surrogacy, frozen embryos, and restorative reproductive medicine — a humane alternative that seeks to treat the underlying causes of infertility rather than ignore or bypass them.

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. Guest: Eric Schmitt, a national security correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading: The war in Iran has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles, resulting in a significant erosion of firepower.

The political world gasped once again as news broke from the New York Times' Maggie Haberman that Trump has been telling anyone who will listen that he's getting reinstated as President and has become obsessed to the point of insanity on these voter audits in Arizona and Georgia which he believes will show that he won the election. Elsewhere, QAnon threw a Memorial Day bash in Dallas that saw former trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn advocating for a Myanmar style coup in the United States while Sidney Powell unleashed a torrent of bullshit around Trump's presidential reinstatement. Finally, Michael sits down with Phil Arballo who came with in a few percentage points of unseating Devin Nunes in the 2020 election. He joins Mea Culpa to discuss how he'll win the midterm election, what's at stake for this country if the democrats lose the House and where the GOP is most vulnerable.

My colleague Ross Douthat is leaving The Times after 17 years to become a correspondent on “60 Minutes.” Before he goes, I'm asking him a few questions. Douthat has had a unique vantage point on the news media and politics over the last few decades. He's typically held the role of explaining the right to more liberal audiences, starting as an undergrad, when he was a conservative columnist for The Harvard Crimson. Douthat has also lived through the seismic changes in the media from the both the inside and the outside: He's made his career at legacy media institutions, but I first got to know him – and spar with him – as an early-2000s blogger (and I have the 20-year-old Bloggingheads.tv clips to prove it). So what does Douthat make of the transformations he's lived through? How did blogging change journalism? How did a Republican Party powered by evangelical Christians become a political party dominated by Catholics and pagans? What has he learned about persuasion from writing for liberal audiences? And with the resources of “60 Minutes” behind him, will he finally crack the U.F.O. story once and for all?

UFOs, UAPs, Non-Human Contact & Zero-Point Energy: Dr. Steven Greer on Government Disclosure, Consciousness and the Truth About Extraterrestrial Intelligence Get ready to have your entire understanding of reality challenged. This episode reveals the science behind non-human intelligence contact, the physics of consciousness, and why the biggest secret in human history could rewrite everything you know about energy, medicine, and human potential. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Steven Greer, a retired emergency physician and founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. For over 35 years, Dr. Greer has briefed CIA directors, Pentagon officials, and members of Congress on UFO disclosure, built an archive of more than 750 whistleblower testimonies, and pioneered the CE5 Contact protocol used to initiate peaceful contact with non-human craft. His firsthand experiences, government-level access, and decades of documented research make him one of the most credible voices in the disclosure movement. Dr. Greer and Dave dive into the science of consciousness as a nonlocal field, the zero-point energy technology he believes has been suppressed for 70 years, and how mastering this "hacking" of physics could eliminate scarcity, extend human longevity, and unlock forms of neuroplasticity and human performance most people have never considered. They explore near-death experiences, precognitive dreams, remote viewing, and the idea that a small percentage of people practicing deep meditative states can shift collective consciousness at scale. The conversation also touches on how corruption, fear, and disinformation have kept transformative technology out of public hands, and what it would take for humanity to responsibly manage a disclosure that changes everything. This is essential listening for anyone into biohacking, human performance, consciousness exploration, longevity, functional medicine, and understanding how the mind and unseen fields of energy shape human potential. You'll Learn: Why Dr. Greer believes the U.S. government has had access to anti-gravity and zero-point energy technology since the 1950s How consciousness functions as a nonlocal field and what that means for human potential and neuroplasticity The real story behind the Roswell crash and its connection to nuclear weapons testing How meditation and altered states may unlock remote viewing and precognitive ability Why Dr. Greer believes only 1% of a population practicing coherent consciousness can shift outcomes for the other 99% What it would take to responsibly disclose suppressed energy technology without global economic collapse How fear-based narratives and disinformation campaigns have shaped public perception of non-human contact Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | Go to qualialife.com/ASPREY for 50% off, and use code ASPREY for an additional 15% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations that will stay with you long after it's over. Actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills, and the true CEO of her own health, Jennifer Esposito joins Maria to share how she took control of her well-being after decades of debilitating symptoms, panic attacks, and medical gaslighting…which all resulted into one of the most severe cases of celiac disease any doctor has ever seen!  Jennifer also gets into the brutal post-diagnosis detox nobody warned her about, how IV vitamin therapy became the game changer that finally turned things around, why the AIP diet is the reset she recommends to everyone dealing with autoimmune issues, and how healing her gut eliminated her severe panic disorders. If you've ever been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your symptoms are all in your head,  this conversation is going to make you feel seen, furious, and fired up to start asking better questions. Because the biggest breakthrough of Jennifer's life didn't come from a doctor. It came from refusing to stop until someone finally listened. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your body is always communicating, don't ignore it. Jennifer had symptoms from childhood that every doctor dismissed as anxiety, hormones, or hypochondria. The root cause was celiac disease so severe her liver was failing and her nervous system was in collapse. Her healing began the moment she stopped accepting "it's all in your head" and started treating her physical symptoms as real,  because they were. Healing your gut can change everything,  including your mental health. Jennifer went from four Klonopin a day and a full-blown panic disorder to living in Paris with zero anxiety and a calm nervous system. The difference was identifying and eliminating what was destroying her gut, rebuilding her nutrient levels through IV therapy, and giving her body what it had been starving for.  The sign you need to keep going might not look like what you expect. When Jennifer gave herself an ultimatum …get a diagnosis or accept that she was crazy… a log crashed through her windshield and she took it as a message from the universe to keep fighting. Whatever that sign looks like in your life, this is a reminder that giving up one day too early is always the biggest risk.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial confidence isn't money—it's shame? Molly and Emese sit down with Haley Sacks, better known as Mrs. Dow Jones, host of the podcast Financial Tea and New York Times bestselling author of Future Rich Person. Haley shares how she went from comedy writer to one of the internet's most trusted financial educators by making investing, wealth building, and financial confidence feel approachable instead of overwhelming. After going from comedy writer for David Letterman and Lorne Michaels to one of the internet's most trusted financial voices, Haley has made it her mission to prove that building wealth doesn't have to be confusing, intimidating, or reserved for "numbers people." Together, they unpack why so many women have been taught to avoid talking about money, how to stop letting fear drive financial decisions, and the simple habits that can help anyone feel more confident about investing and building long-term wealth. Plus: why "playing it safe" can actually hold you back, the power of monthly "money dates," how to have better conversations about finances with your partner and parents, smart strategies for buying secondhand luxury, why investing in yourself often pays the biggest dividends, and the account every parent should consider opening for their kids.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the Iran war officially entering quagmire territory, with refineries and tankers getting hit at will while the US has essentially run out of missiles to respond with. They then tear apart Scott Bessent's solution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, which is to just build underground pipelines and make it irrelevant, a fantasy on par with nuking hurricanes. Todd Blanch gets confirmed as attorney general on the deciding vote of Bill Cassidy, the same man who voted to convict Trump and now can't swallow shit fast enough for him, while Susan Collins pulls her signature move of discovering her conscience only after the votes are already locked. They bid a fond farewell to Ross Douthat, whose 17 years at the New York Times were spent giving conservatives permission to drift further right under the guise of just asking questions. Now he's leaving one of the most influential posts in American media for a cratering 60 Minutes because Bari Weiss told him he'd be a star. The episode closes on Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA, a bad-faith stunt that reveals less about trans athletes than about the right-wing compulsion to hijack anything women build and make it about themselves.

Brad Kearns is a New York Times bestselling author, including his recent book Born to Walk. He's a #1 world-ranked Masters track & field high jumper in 2025 and a #3 world-ranked professional triathlete. He has written twenty books on diet, health, peak performance, and ancestral living, and is a popular speaker and podcast host, and creator of the Primal Fitness Expert Certification course. In today's episode, he talks to Ashleigh about a very important but mostly missing piece in our fitness regimen: sprinting. He talks about the difference between a HIIT workout and a true sprint workout, as well as what happens in the body when we do an all-out sprint: how it can improve our body composition, overall fitness, agility, power, strength, and longevity.  Brad tells us how to do a sprint workout effectively and safely, how often you should be sprinting to maximize the benefits, why he believes Zone 1 training is actually underrated, and much more. This episode is sponsored by Peluva, makers of five-toe, zero-drop, barefoot-style shoes. When you put on a pair of Peluvas, you are getting an automatic foot strengthening effect, a toe spacer effect, and a healing effect from the damage caused by regular shoes. Peluva has sufficient cushioning to use for all manner of everyday movement, fitness and athletic activities, and navigating hard modern surfaces. And they look (surprisingly) good, and are super comfortable. Go ahead and use your specialized athletic shoes, work boots or even high heels when you need to, but the more you wear minimalist shoes when walking around and exercising safely, you can reawaken the natural functionality of the human foot to stand, walk, run, and perform.

Most managers already know what good management looks like. Give real feedback. Delegate. Have the hard conversation. Knowing it has never been the problem. Nir Eyal spent years asking why people who have the right answer still don't act on it. His conclusion is that the gap is not motivation or discipline. It's belief. And beliefs are harder to spot than habits, because from the inside they feel like facts. In this conversation, Nir walks through what a belief actually is, why confirmation bias quietly hardens a manager's read on an employee until it stops being reviewable, and what to do when you find yourself already dreading a conversation that hasn't happened yet. He also makes a blunt case against two labels a lot of leaders wear comfortably: imposter syndrome and perfectionist. The practical takeaways here are small and usable. Look for where you're suffering instead of hunting for the belief directly. Keep a reality log when your read on your own performance has gone lopsided. And pay attention to whatever words follow "I am." About our guest Nir Eyal is the author of Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Breakthrough Results, an instant New York Times bestseller written with Julie Li. He is a former lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Time.

For most people, planning for retirement centers around having enough money to spend. But how to spend your post-work decades is an equally important issue. New York Times personal finance writer Brian O'Connor discusses his recent article is "You're About to Retire. What Are You Doing for the Next 20 or 30 Years?" Plus, listeners share updates from their retirement. Stock photo via DigitalVision/Getty Creative Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last week, 24-year-old Leopold Aschenbrenner — former FTX staffer, ex-OpenAI researcher, and author of the viral 165-page essay "Situational Awareness" — managed to lose roughly two-thirds of his $45 billion hedge fund in a matter of weeks. The margin calls arrived during his wedding weekend.In this video I break down how a trader with no professional experience raised billions from Silicon Valley, why his AI "hedge" wasn't a hedge at all, and how leverage plus a concentrated bet on artificial intelligence stocks turned a great-looking expected return into a catastrophic outcome. Along the way we look at the cultural gap between Silicon Valley and Wall Street, why Ken Griffin's Citadel ended up buying the collapsing portfolio in an overnight fire sale, and the maths of volatility drag — the reason a high expected return can still drag an investor's typical outcome straight into the ground.It's a story about leverage, risk management, expected versus median returns, and what happens when you go "full Kelly." Featuring reporting from the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times, plus Victor Haghani's lessons from The Missing Billionaires.

How Values Drive Company Culture and Customer Satisfaction    Shep interviews Paul Ingram, Kravis Professor of Business at Columbia Business School and author of What Do You Really Stand For?. He discusses how aligned organizational values create a stronger company culture, improves employee retention, and ultimately enhances the customer experience.    This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:      How does aligning corporate values with personal values improve customer experience?  Why is value alignment critical for increasing employee retention and engagement?   How do a company's core values influence customer buying decisions and brand loyalty?   What role do leaders play in modeling and sustaining an authentic company culture?   How does hiring for shared values impact culture and workplace satisfaction?   Top Takeaways:      Companies whose values are aligned with leadership, employees, and customers create a smoother, stronger connection.     An organization's culture reflects the values of the employees who make it up. When employees work in an environment that shares the same values that they have, they are more motivated and collaborative. The organization becomes a "destination employment," where they are excited to show up every day and are happy to stay long-term.   For company values to be authentic and effective, leaders must personally demonstrate and model them. Their voice is much more amplified as employees look up to them. If there's a disconnect between what is articulated at the top and leadership's actions, employees become disengaged, and it shows in how they interact with customers.    Customers are more likely to buy from brands that embody values similar to their own. When a company authentically represents what matters to its customers, it influences their purchasing decisions and long-term support.    Research shows that employees deeply aligned with company values require a 40% salary increase to leave their jobs. Hiring for values rather than just skill nurtures a culture where people want to stay and contribute.    Culture is a collective product of everyone's values and beliefs. While you can guide culture and select people who share your principles, authentic values cannot be forced onto employees.   By encouraging people to share what makes them distinct, companies create a culture where employees feel seen, fulfilled, and invested in the team's success.    Keeping reminders of personal values accessible, whether it is written in a notecard or printed on a mug, can help you ground your actions and weigh your decisions against what truly matters to you.    Plus, Shep and Paul discuss the importance of shared values in different industries like music and sports. Tune in!    Quote:     "Any two entities interact more smoothly and more productively if their values are aligned."    About:      Paul Ingram is the Kravis Professor of Business at Columbia Business School and the author of What Do You Really Stand For?  a book focused on helping individuals and organizations identify and align their core values.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Weird troll and sitting Vice President JD Vance's last memoir, 2016's Hillbilly Elegy, made him a household name and a darling with some surprising corners of American letters and politics. His new memoir-slash-retread, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith reheats the Elegy-pie to massively diminishing returns, and is likely to endear him to just about no one. In this episode, Moira and Adrian talk to New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie about the book and the strange and deeply resistible rise of JD Vance.

A dazzling novel about a community where an upcoming film production brings their past into sharp focus--and nobody's version is the same. In Derry, the locals are already in a twist about the arrival of Hollywood actress Monica Logue to research her role for a show about the Troubles--and then she goes missing. Everyone has a story to tell--about Monica's possible whereabouts, and about the historic events that brought her here in the first place: the show's screenwriter, desperate for this last shot at success; the grieving mother whose story he's adapting; the ex-IRA member who knows the price of survival; the local psychic who's seen too much ... Prestige Drama (Cardinal, 2026) brings to life a chorus of characters as they locate themselves in Monica's disappearance, and in the truth about their own history. From the author of the acclaimed memoir Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?, Prestige Drama is heartbreaking, hilarious, and profound, an indelible portrait of a community both obsessed with its past, and desperate to forget it.

The truth is, there are moms way worse than you! And the fastest way to feel like a better parent might be a laugh you did not expect. On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast. Dr. Amy and Sandy talk with Glenn Boozan, an Emmy-nominated, WGA award-winning comedy writer and the author of the New York Times bestselling gift book There Are Moms Way Worse Than You, to talk about why modern parenting can feel like a constant test you can never pass, even when you are pouring your whole heart into your kids.Glenn explains how a simple joke for her sister during the pandemic turned into a wildly popular, science fact-checked, rhyming reminder that perfection is not the goal. We dig into the mom guilt spiral, why shame keeps parents stuck in their heads, and how humor can loosen that grip long enough for you to breathe and reconnect. Glenn shares some of the most unbelievable animal parenting facts in the book, the kind that instantly reset your perspective and make your own messy day feel a lot more survivable.We  go behind the scenes on comedy writing: what joke punch-up really is, how writers learn to capture someone else's “voice,” and why a well-timed laugh can feel like a turning point after a hard moment.

Amelia Tait is a British journalist and author whose work has made her one of the sharpest observers of modern life online and off. As a freelance writer, she has built a reputation for following the strange, revealing currents of contemporary culture — writing about the internet, and remarkable people for publications including The New Yorker, The Guardian, Wired, and the New York Times.Her reporting is often drawn to the places where technology and absurdity collide, finding the human story inside subjects other people might dismiss as niche or ephemeral. Now she has turned that same wit and curiosity to fiction with her debut children's book, Lily Tripp: Diary of an Accidental Time Traveller, a funny, fast-moving adventure about a girl bouncing through history while trying to survive friendship drama and the general embarrassment of being thirteen.LINKSAmelia Tait – website & writingAmelia Tait – official websiteThe Waiting Room – Amelia's Substack newsletterLily Tripp: Diary of an Accidental Time TravellerLily Tripp – Waterstones (Waterstones Children's Book of the Month, June 2026)Lily Tripp – Amazon UKAmelia's Perfect ConsoleTheme Hospital (1997) – WikipediaThe Simpsons: Road Rage (2001) – WikipediaThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker – WikipediaThe Sims Bustin' Out (Game Boy Advance, 2003) – WikipediaStardew Valley – official siteStardew Valley – SteamOther games mentionedAnimal Crossing: New Horizons – NintendoThe Simpsons: Hit & Run – WikipediaAmelia's journalism – selected piecesAre Disney Adults the Happiest Debtors on Earth? – The New YorkerAmelia Tait – articles on The GuardianNext week's guestDuppy Detective Tashia – Glen Henry / Spritewrench Studios – SteamSpritewrench Studios – itch.ioSupport the showMy Perfect Console – episode archiveSupport My Perfect Console on PatreonBecome a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Tara sits down with New York Times bestselling author Nir Eyal for an eye-opening conversation on mastering focus, shifting limiting mindsets, and reclaiming control over daily attention. Nir pulls back the curtain on the real root causes of distraction, debunking the common myth that technology alone is to blame. Instead, he reveals that an astonishing 90% of phone checks happen without a single notification, driven instead by "internal triggers," fleeting moments of emotional discomfort, boredom, or anxiety. Nir shares an actionable four-step framework to manage these internal feelings, break the cycle of procrastination, and rewrite the internal narratives that hold them back from living intentionally. The discussion also dives deep into the incredible power of the mind, highlighting the research behind his work in his new book Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Extraordinary Results, including the mind-bending story of a patient undergoing surgery without anesthesia through the power of hypnotic belief. Nir unpacks how beliefs function as tools rather than absolute truths, introducing powerful reframing techniques like Byron Katie's four questions to dismantle self-sabotaging thoughts. Nir emphasizes the importance of moving past parental hypocrisy, modeling healthy device habits, and leading with purpose and love to build a deeply connected, resilient family. For parents or anyone feeling stuck, the episode offers crucial, practical strategies to stop limiting beliefs from holding them back.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with a genuinely wild New York Times report about President Trump getting smuggled out of Turkey in a catering cart after the NATO summit, and the guys pick apart why a story like that ever got leaked in the first place, let alone confirmed. From there, things go full science fiction as Zak walks through the claims of a credentialed CERN insider who says the Large Hadron Collider sits on top of something a lot stranger than particle physics. Expect talk of interdimensional visitors, a viral clip that may or may not connect to a decades old sci fi author's cryptic speech, and a teenage inventor whose free energy claims somehow loop right back into the Mandela effect. As always, take it all with a healthy dose of skepticism and a sense of humor.

For years, cancer has been seen as a disease people mostly get when they're older. That seems to be changing as more young people are getting cancer than ever before. Today, Nina Agrawal, a health reporter for The New York Times, explains what scientists are learning about the factors driving the rise and what it means for a generation of young cancer survivors. Guest: Nina Agrawal, a health reporter for The New York Times. Background reading:  Hundreds of New York Times readers shared their experiences with early-onset cancers. Here are seven of their stories. Research is starting to offer clues about why more than a dozen types of cancer have increased among people under 50 in the past decade.

Y'all, this episode is just plain fun for me. David Pollack has lived a lot of life since his football days—playing in the NFL, watching that dream come to an unexpected end because of injury, joining the College GameDay team, walking through his wife Lindsey's battle with a brain tumor (she's now cancer-free!), and learning what it actually looks like to trust God through every season. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing about the rhythms that have transformed his faith.  If you've been around here for a while, you know my Georgia Bulldog heart runs deep. So yes... we absolutely spend a little time talking about the Dawgs and how much college football has changed over the years. It's been fun to cheer for David for the last twenty-five years, and after this conversation, I have a feeling you'll be cheering for him too.

For people with two hands, one is usually dominant. On a molecular level, earthly life takes this to the extreme. All of the DNA in living things twists to the right, whereas the protein building blocks favor a kind of left-handed chemistry.The rules of life are based on this chemistry.In recent years, scientists have worked toward a kind of mirror version of life. Currently, the technology doesn't exist to make mirror life at the cellular level — and likely won't for at least a decade. Still, a group of scientists is concerned enough about the possibility that they've published a 299-page technical report calling for a stop to the science.In this encore episode for our Tech Camp series, host Regina Barber talks to Carl Zimmer, a science reporter at The New York Times, about his reporting on mirror cells — and why creating them could lead to devastating consequences for life on Earth.Check out Carl's full article.Curious about other controversial research?

One word. Spoken once. And it changed everything for all of eternity. When Jesus bowed his head on the cross and said, "It is finished," he wasn't admitting defeat. He was shouting victory. In the original Greek, it is a single word — tetelestai — a business term meaning "all is completed, paid in full." Written at the bottom of a debt. Stamped across a record of what was owed. And at Calvary, Jesus wrote it across yours. In the first episode of our podcast series A Life Unleashed: Living Fully in the Purpose God Designed You For, Christine Caine takes us to John 19:28–30 and unpacks the three things that were completed at the cross and why all three have direct bearing on who you are and how you live right now. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I know Jesus died for sins, but does that actually cover everything I've done or had done to me? ✅ Why do I still feel shame and condemnation even after I've been forgiven? ✅ How do I stop feeling like I need to earn God's love or prove myself to Him? ✅ Can God really redeem a family history like mine — abuse, addiction, abandonment? ✅ I feel too far gone. Is there actually hope for someone like me? ✅ What does the finished work of the cross actually mean for my everyday life? ✅ How do I let what Jesus did become bigger than what people did to me? …then this is your episode.

I read an article yesterday about the fourth season of the tv series, Ted Lasso, coming out. The series was celebrated for bringing the concept of positivity to the forefront. But in this new season they feel positivity isn't what the culture needs. They depict the populace this way: "People are fine. Not hopeful, not despairing — just fine." So the new season is focused on hope. And I agree. We seem to be losing hope in anything more than just…existing. So when a celebrated author comes out with a book about his research on what “thriving” looks like, I was interested. Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author known for The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. But after writing about talent and performance, Dan cites he began wondering about the deeper parts of life. The result is his new book, Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment. And he boils down to…community. Interdependence, which I don't think many of us understand. I'm not going to try and explain it here, but invite you to listen to the following 55 minutes of discussing a different kind of community experience than I bet you've ever fully conceptualized. I feel I got schooled, in a great way, by the message in Dan's book, and the following conversation. I have myself looking at relationships and community in a new way, and I'm inspiring myself. I think you will too. Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Traditional” French parenting is built on a foundation of firm boundaries, strictness and punishment for misbehavior. Within these rules, children are also allowed freedom and autonomy, which some say results in both well-behaved children and stress-free parents. In recent years, though, American-style “gentle” or “positive” parenting has gained a toehold in the country, unsettling decades of orthodoxy about the best way to raise a French child. It has prompted a fierce debate, with both sides accusing the other of being harmful. In today's episode, Madeleine Schwartz, a journalist who lives in Paris, talks with Michael Barbaro about the dispute over parenting styles in France and what it says about the eternal search for the “right” way to raise children. On Today's Episode: Madeleine Schwartz is a journalist and editor in Paris. Background Reading: Did American-Style ‘Gentle Parenting' Spoil French Children?
