Donald Trump is considering renaming Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America' as the trade feud with Canada escalates. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent imposed very strict sanctions against Iran yesterday, and Mark breaks down what it means. Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed appeared on Jesse Watters' show on Fox, and it was an interesting talk. AMC Kips Bay, 15, on the East Side in New York, is set to close later this year because NYU Langone is building a massive hospital there. The Supreme Court has allowed President Trump to control parts of mail-in voting with a new executive order. Mark takes your calls!
Donald Trump is considering renaming Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America' as the trade feud with Canada escalates. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent imposed very strict sanctions against Iran yesterday, and Mark breaks down what it means. Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed appeared on Jesse Watters' show on Fox, and it was an interesting talk. AMC Kips Bay, 15, on the East Side in New York, is set to close later this year because NYU Langone is building a massive hospital there. The Supreme Court has allowed President Trump to control parts of mail-in voting with a new executive order. Mark explains Kathy Hochul's position in winning the gubernatorial campaign, and it could change big time due to Bruce Blakeman, her Republican opponent, who has major backing from big donors to help run ads for him. Senator Adam Schiff had some big words to say to Trump about him waving the green flag at the Indy Race this past weekend in Washington, D.C. Mark has important news about how intermittent fasting could actually be dangerous for you, according to a huge recent study. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz and Mark talk about the latest socialism in the USA and who's funding it. The Dems have lost their footing in political races. Right now, the Dems are painting the data centers as the boogeyman for them. Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe is in Russia for a surprise meeting. Ghislaine Maxwell has tried to appeal another Epstein file in jail but failed. AI is being used more and more to handle admin work in the real estate world. Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham, was very honest about how much she knows about the political world recently when she was asked political questions. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill believes that the affordability issues in the USA could be solved if the war in the Middle East ends. The Dems go to the economic underdog to portray themselves. Making life hard for the healthcare companies and oil companies by forcing them to lower prices for consumers may be the key; however, how easy is that? President Trump's personality could be a major reason that socialism is happening nowadays.

In this episode of the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Podcast: Sharing Research, Progress, and Hope, Dr. Lauren talks with Dr. Michael Long of NYU Langone, a neuroscientist studying the brain circuits that make vocal communication possible.This episode is a fascinating look at an unconventional approach to one of the Phelan-McDermid syndrome community's highest research priorities: communication and language.Dr. Long shares how his research has taken him from songbirds and human speech to an unusual animal with remarkable conversational abilities: the singing mouse. Unlike standard laboratory mice, singing mice engage in precisely timed, back-and-forth vocal exchanges, much like humans! After collaborating with Dr. Ben Scott (featured on "A Cross-Species Approach to Advancing Research in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome with Dr. Ben Scott and Amanda Fath"), Dr. Long has been working to develop a SHANK3 knockdown singing mouse. This will allow researchers to better understand the underlying brain circuitry involved in communication and how disruption to SHANK3 alters this.The conversation also explores why communication encompasses much more than spoken words, the importance of including minimally verbal and non-speaking individuals in research, and how "backward translation" (taking observations from individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome back into the laboratory) can help scientists ask better questions and develop more meaningful models.If you are interested in being involved with Drs. Scott and Long's study, check out the GEODE (Gathering Evidence for Optimizing Decisions) Study on our Open Studies page or contact: geode.online.experiment@gmail.com.
They wore caps and gowns to celebrate the future — but before the night was over, some would lie dead in pools of blood, their dreams buried with them.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/capsgownscasketsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4d8r6tb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Graduation is a special time in just about everyone's life when they make their way from childhood, to adulthood. And while that step might be a bit scary for some, we all get past it – we have to. But what if there is something truly to be afraid of at your graduation? Like the possibility of being murdered? (Murdered During Graduation) *** Joseph McKinnon strangled his girlfriend Patricia Dent, then died while trying to bury her body in their garden. (Killed By Karma) *** When you die, do you know that you are dead? A new study says that maybe… yes. You might still be conscious enough to know you are dead even after your body ceases to live. But for how long? (When You Die, You Are Conscious Long Enough To Know It) *** The term Zodiac in true crime circles invokes images of serial murder, cryptograms and bragging letters in and around San Francisco. But the California Zodiac is not the only Zodiac out there.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a string of graduation celebrations that ended in murder to a comparison of the Korean and California Zodiac killers, a scientific claim that human consciousness lingers briefly after death, and the case of a South Carolina man who died burying the girlfriend he had just strangled.It opens with a survey of graduation celebrations turned deadly, beginning with the May 2020 party in southwest Indiana where 47-year-old William Baker carried a .30-06 rifle into a shed and shot 18-year-old South Dearborn High School graduate Paycin Kritlow in the back, claiming his daughter had been raped even though she and her friends denied any assault occurred, a killing that earned Baker a 55-year sentence in November 2021. The segment moves through Menhaz Zaman, a 24-year-old outside Toronto who murdered his father, mother, sister, and grandmother with a crowbar-like weapon and a knife the day before a York University graduation he had faked after failing out of Seneca College; the June 2020 shooting of 19-year-old Tyana Johnson in a Bronx park while her friend Ahamad Branch worked as the DJ; and the June 2017 ambush of Maryland teenagers Shadi Adi Najjar and Artem Ziberov, shot thirty times between them by a group who had searched online for a song called "I Kill for My Family" and killed over a stolen handful of marijuana. Other cases stretch across Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, and Louisiana, including 18-year-old Hailey Deickman, who died days before her high school graduation after Franklin Senfles sold her fentanyl she believed was oxycodone.From there, the show sets two very different Zodiac cases side by side. The first is the Korean "Zodiac Killer," the Hwaseong murders that began on September 15th, 1986 with the rape and strangling of 71-year-old Lee Wan-im and continued as women were strangled with their own clothing on dark rural roads, a case that drew a manhunt of more than 21,000 suspects and sent a disabled man named Yoon Sung-yeo to prison on a coerced confession, until DNA identified Lee Choon-jae in 2019, a man already jailed since 1995 who confessed to 14 murders and 30 rapes and had escaped suspicion because police wrongly believed the killer's blood was type B rather than his actual type O. Darren places that against the California Zodiac, who killed at least five people around San Francisco between 1968 and 1971, taunted newspapers with cryptograms and threats against schoolchildren, and drew suspicion onto former schoolteacher Arthur Leigh Allen without ever being caught. The segment weighs how each case reached the screen, contrasting Bong Joon-ho's 2003 film Memories of Murder, made while the Korean killer was still unknown, with David Fincher's 2007 Zodiac, built on Robert Graysmith's books, and argues that a competent investigation on either continent might have swapped the outcomes.Next, the episode turns to research suggesting that human consciousness may briefly outlast the body. Dr. Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone in New York City, describes cardiac-arrest patients who were revived and could recall specific conversations and the actions of the doctors and nurses working to save them, and his work points to conscious awareness continuing for as long as three minutes after the heart stops even though the brain's electrical activity typically flatlines within twenty to thirty seconds. The segment adds microbiologist Peter Noble of the University of Washington, whose studies on mice and zebrafish found certain genes increasing in activity in the hours after death, and it frames both findings as evidence that cells shut down gradually rather than switching instantly from living to dead.The episode closes with the death of Joseph McKinnon in Trenton, South Carolina, whom deputies first found lying unresponsive in his yard, dead of a heart attack he suffered while filling in a pit a neighbor believed was meant for a new water feature. When investigators could not locate McKinnon's girlfriend, 65-year-old Patricia Dent, and learned she had missed her shift at the Mount Vintage Golf Club, they dug into the pit and uncovered black garbage bags holding her bound, bruised, and strangled body. Edgefield County Sheriff Jody Rowland and Coroner David Burnett concluded that McKinnon had attacked and choked Dent inside their home, wrapped her, and collapsed from cardiac arrest as he covered her over, and her twin sister Pamela Briggs spoke of her grief while police noted the couple had no known history of domestic violence, meaning that had McKinnon lived, Dent might simply have vanished.
Katy Talento ran healthcare at the White House Domestic Policy Council and helped push through the price transparency executive order. Now she runs health plans for a living, including for the convent where she once lived as a nun.She spends this episode on why a post-network world keeps hitting the same wall: the three-way contracts between carrier, TPA, and provider that make the network Plan A by force. She explains why she thinks those provisions violate the Sherman Act, what DOJ has started doing about it, and why the workarounds employers use today amount to an underground railroad rather than a functioning market.We also cover the 2026 CAA and the DOL rule that together make PBMs fiduciaries and may do the same to TPAs, her four-part "school choice for healthcare" plan to scale cash pay nationally, and the AI upcoding wave she thinks is breaking stop-loss actuarial models right now.If you've ever wondered why the obvious fix isn't available to you, this is the episode.

What if the traits that make someone great at EMS are the same ones that make traditional classrooms feel challenging? In this episode, hosts Rob Lawrence, Hilary Gates, and Maia Dorsett sit down with Nicole Hansen, EdD, EMT-P, Long Island EMS Division Manager for NYU Langone to explore two of her recent publications. Nicole shares findings from her dissertation on mental preparedness in EMS, including why current curricula fall short and how the "wounded healer" theory might shape who enters EMS. The conversation then shifts to her latest research on ADHD prevalence among EMS clinicians. They discuss how neurodiverse learners are often misread as underperformers, the link between ADHD and PTSD risk, and — crucially — what EMS educators can do right now to redesign their classrooms to support every kind of brain. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."Mentioned in the episode:Self-Reported ADHD in a Convenience Sample of EMS Clinicians: https://internationaljournalofparamedicine.com/index.php/ijop/article/view/3601/3399Perceptions of Mental Preparedness in EMS Students: https://scholarworks.ace.edu/items/88b8a3d3-f12e-466f-b048-d9d62bb7a5e2How Learning Works: https://www.amazon.com/How-Learning-Works-Research-Based-Principles/dp/1119861691Prehospital Care Research Forum (PCRF): https://www.cpc.mednet.ucla.edu/pcrfGoogle Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/The EMS Educator is published on the first Friday of every month!

Nicole shares findings from her dissertation on mental preparedness in EMS, including why current curricula fall short and how the "wounded healer" theory might shape who enters EMS. The conversation then shifts to her latest research on ADHD prevalence among EMS clinicians. They discuss how neurodiverse learners are often misread as underperformers, the link between ADHD and PTSD risk, and — crucially — what EMS educators can do right now to redesign their classrooms to support every kind of brain. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Dr. Kyunghyun Cho is a leading AI researcher best known for co-authoring a landmark 2014 paper that introduced neural machine translation. In this episode, he discusses his wide-ranging career spanning fundamental AI research, co-founding Prescient Design (acquired by Genentech), and driving applications of AI in health care. For clinicians, Cho's core message is pragmatic: AI should help health care run better. After years of work at NYU Langone, he reframed AI in medicine from solving rare diagnostic puzzles to improving operational prediction at scale. Cho emphasizes purpose‑built data, careful fine‑tuning, and regulatory accountability. His perspective connects technical rigor with system stewardship—and insists that patient voices must be present in AI governance. Transcript.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Are We Going to Strike Iran? In‑depth foreign policy analysis featuring Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former White House national security official, who breaks down the intensifying risk of U.S. military strikes against Iran. Yates outlines how the administration is negotiating over Iran’s nuclear program even as it positions F‑35s, F‑22s, and other assets for what he describes as a “high likelihood” of targeted military action within the next two weeks. He explains that any strike would be aimed at degrading Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities—not launching a full‑scale war—while regional powers aligned under the Abraham Accords weigh their own interests in the potential collapse of the Iranian regime. The conversation then turns to the complex geopolitical landscape involving Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Yates argues that the U.S. is using “smart power”—economic, political, and strategic pressure—to create conditions for gradual regime transformation without repeating the mistakes of Iraq. Clay and Buck press Yates on possible successors inside Iran, the role of the Iranian diaspora, and whether Gulf nations secretly prefer the current Ayatollah in power as a known, contained adversary. This leads into a moment of levity as they mock Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez’s widely panned appearance at the Munich Security Conference, where she struggled to answer a basic question about China–Taiwan tensions. Yates jokes that even a quick AI search would have prepared her better. Dirty Dem Playbook The James Talarico–Stephen Colbert controversy, which Clay and Buck argue has massively backfired on Democrats. They trace how CBS refused to air the Talarico interview over potential FCC equal‑time violations involving Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett, but the decision instead triggered a “Streisand Effect”, catapulting Talarico to viral fame. CNN’s election data analyst Harry Enten confirms that Google searches for Talarico skyrocketed nationally and especially in Texas—over 1,100%—dramatically shifting prediction markets toward him in the upcoming Democratic primary. Clay argues that the real political victim is Jasmine Crockett, likening the situation to the Democratic Party “rigging” the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders. The Trans Trend Karol Markowicz, co‑host in the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, who joins to analyze two high‑profile transgender‑related family mass murders—one in British Columbia and one in Rhode Island. The hosts argue that political activism and online rhetoric have normalized delusional thinking while discouraging honest discussions about mental health. Markowicz highlights the sudden spike in youth identifying as transgender as a “social contagion,” noting huge differences in rates between states like New York and Florida. The segment also covers a groundbreaking legal development: NYU Langone halting gender-transition procedures for minors amid growing malpractice lawsuits, including a recent multimillion‑dollar jury award to a detransitioner. The show then pivots to cultural commentary, including Markowicz's evaluation of Taylor Swift’s cultural power, where she agrees that Swift is comparable in scale to global icons like the Beatles and Madonna. Clay and Buck debate Swift’s influence across generations and joke about Clay’s much‑discussed mustache. The hosts also highlight uplifting Olympic news as Team USA men’s hockey star Quinn Hughes goes viral for calling America “the greatest country in the world” after scoring a sudden‑death goal over Sweden—one of the few unapologetically patriotic moments they say mainstream media rarely promotes anymore. Pro-Trump Granny Clay and Buck spotlight a powerful moment from President Trump’s Black History Month event at the White House, where an impassioned grandmother, Floresia Cook, went viral for defending Trump’s record on crime and public safety. They note Trump’s warm statements about Jesse Jackson following his passing. The hosts wrap with an economic update: 30‑year mortgage rates have hit a four‑year low, edging just above 6%, which they say may begin to thaw the frozen housing market locked up by years of Biden‑era inflation. They end on a light note about a typo discovered in Buck’s bestselling book Manufacturing Delusion.

Dr. Paul Testa, Chief Health Informatics Officer who helped create the About Me Initiative at NYU Langone Health, and Dr. Katherine Hochman, Director of Hospital Medicine at NYU Langone Health, who envisioned the initiative, discuss the benefits of encouraging patients to provide non-medical information. The goal is to help care teams see patients as whole people beyond their diagnoses and to give patients an opportunity to share interests, hobbies, and fun facts that can help build trust and meaningful human connections. This About Me Initiative is being expanded from inpatient care to outpatient settings, such as infusion centers. Paul explains, "The About Me section in our EHR Epic is something that NYU Langone developed with the inspiration of Dr. Hochman, and it's essentially a dedicated discreet space in the medical record to allow patients to declare themselves, allowing them to give them a space that is transparent to all the users of the electronic health record, which are many and vast in their rules. So let them articulate something beyond their disease process or their health. So often, we reduce records to pneumonia, a broken hip, or an infection. The patient is so much more than that, and patients want to share that with us. We know that from practicing for years, Kathy and I both know that the way you connect with patients is through a narrative. Our currency is narrative. This is a location where either a patient or, if they choose to defer, can have one of their nurses or care team members provide a small sample of who they are outside of the care environment." Katherine elaborates, "So I'm a hospitalist. Every Tuesday, I come into 16 to 18 new patients. And at NYU Langone, our length of stay keeps getting shorter and shorter, which is fantastic for patients because we want to get them in and out of the hospital as quickly and as safely as possible. But by definition, if patients stay shorter and shorter, we don't have as much time to connect. So the About Me Initiative really kicks off that connection that Paul was talking about a second ago. So long ago, and this is how it started, I would tell my teams, slow down to speed up, get to know who this patient is before getting into the heart failure, the pneumonia, the COPD, and really try to establish a little bit of a connection and build trust." #NYULangone #PatientVoices #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #PatientExperience #HealthIT #EHR #EpicEHR #HumanConnection #HealthcareTransformation #PatientCentered #MedicalTechnology #DigitalHealth #EmpathyInMedicine nyulangone.org Download the transcript here

The silence of MAHA influencers around the murder of Renee Good (and ICE generally) has been excessively loud. Yet that's expected from the coalition that voted for Donald Trump in order to install RFK Jr at this point. Many believe “health isn't political” while refusing to accept or acknowledge what their vote has empowered. Dr Jonathan Howard, a neurologist and psychiatrist at NYU Langone's Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center, returns to the podcast to talk about MAGA's enablers in the MAHA movement with Derek and Julian.

Fans of Off the Record may recall my recent episode with Chris Petrilli, Director of Revenue Cycle of Operations at NYU Langone, who joined me to discuss his experience delivering a TEDx Talk on artificial intelligence. Chris was well prepared and delivered a great lecture, which you should definitely check out on YouTube. And on the podcast he sang the praises of a coach brought in to prep him and other NYU Langone staff for the big day on the big stage. My wheels started to spin, I reached out... and landed that coach for OTR. Susanna Baddiel is an actress, director, voice over artist and TEDx Speaker Coach. She works in both the UK and the US and is a founder member of Actors Shakespeare Company where she continues to act, direct and coach. She has more than 17 years of experience teaching public speaking, personal impact, presentation skills, leadership development, and executive coaching. It was my honor to host her in a bit of an offbeat show than the usual mid-revenue cycle topics. But I picked up a few pointers about public speaking that helped me, and I think you will too. This special episode kicks off November, a month in which I'll be taking a deep delve into provider engagement. Odds are if you're trying to engage providers you'll have to present or educate, and Susanna offers some great advice and practical tips and takeaways. On this show we cover: Her background as an actress in Britain, transition into coaching, and eventually working with niche clients in science and medicine Working with the team at NYU and Chris Petrilli—preparing them, building them up, and getting them ready for the big day. Why preparation is everything in public speaking, as is gratitude for the opportunity Balancing authenticity vs. general principles of good presentation The differences between in-person and presenting on camera. Susanna offers some GREAT suggestions for being better on Zoom. Books and other resources Susanna recommends

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives ‘out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone? In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without “trauma dumping.” We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing. 0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies “points of joy.” 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression?
