Phil Salvador interviews Dr. Stephanie Harkin, lecturer at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) School of Design Games Program in Australia, about her research on femininity in gaming, particularly in girls' lifestyle magazines. Dr. Harkin discusses her journey from media studies to focusing on feminine games. She highlights her findings on the lack of representation of feminine games in traditional gaming magazines and her discovery of Girl Gamer magazine, which promoted Nintendo games in a lifestyle format. We explore the coverage of games in magazines like Total Girl and the broader cultural context of game representation.You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Mentioned in the show:Girl Gamer cover: https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/e6beceaa-f36f-46d7-bc2a-f4599773e10eMCV pink issue: https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/39c2181c-d395-44b7-9e64-2f1c8333a922Pokémon Personality Quiz: https://gamehistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Pokemon-personality-quiz-1200x847.jpgPac-Man Nail Art: https://gamehistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Stephanie-Harkin-Pac-man-nail-art.jpgBig Bowser House (mistakenly referred to as "Donkey Kong Big Brother House"): https://gamehistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Big-Bowser-House-cropped.jpgK-Zone: https://archive.org/details/K-ZoneJanuary2006 Imagine Magazines: https://archive.gamehistory.org/folder/6187132e-315c-4be5-8498-8c55ac478ebe?sortField=date&sortDir=asc See more from Dr. Stephanie Harkin:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/saharkin.bsky.socialGames Exhibition: https://www.feminineplay.org/ Upcoming book: https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/isbn/9783111560939/htmlVideo Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

Stanford Final Four guard, pro vet, and USA Basketball 3x3 U23 coach Christina Batastini joins Cory to deliver clear, no-nonsense guidance for families navigating prep school basketball. Now the head coach at St. Andrew's School (NEPSAC AAA), Christina breaks down what truly translates to college—defending your position, decision-making, and making teammates better—and why the Ivy League is real Division I basketball. She explains the prep vs AAU recruiting dynamic, the difference between offers and interest, and how the transfer portal has shifted commitment timelines (and why late spring/summer decisions are increasingly normal). You'll also hear how reclassing or a post-grad year can be used strategically—without forcing a path that doesn't fit the student-athlete. If you want practical answers on exposure, academic fit, and the right level (AAA/AA vs A), this conversation keeps the hype out and the player development in.

This message addresses how followers of Jesus can process a week filled with tragedy, violence, and confusion. While culture spins stories and social media fuels division, Scripture reminds us that we are living in a spiritual battle far deeper than politics or headlines. The enemy is actively working to blind, divide, and derail—but Jesus remains victorious, sovereign, and present. In this sermon, we'll look at how to view cultural chaos through God's eyes, how to respond as the Church with prayer and courage, and what it means to count the cost of following Christ in our generation.Scripture:Ephesians 6:10-12Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

The Busses are joined by Keith Wheeler, a dear friend of many years who has taken up his cross to follow Jesus in a very literal way. As a young man in college, Keith received the call of Jesus to be His witness to the people who need Him the most, and Keith discovered some creative ways to do that in the bars in his community. But after the tragic loss of one of his newfound friends, Keith asked the Lord what more he could do to really reach people with the Gospel. Jesus responded with a mind-boggling challenge to build 12-foot cross and carry it across Tulsa, Oklahoma.After a reluctant and bumpy start forty years ago, Keith has now carried the cross all over the world. Tune in as Keith gives highlights from his amazing story of walking together with Jesus and shares testimonies from his front row view of how simply being introduced to Jesus changes people's lives forever.EMAIL: feedback@globaloutpouring.orgWEBSITE: https://globaloutpouring.net Upcoming Events:School of the Supernatural – Translation by Faith 2025 CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIAGlobal Outpouring Facebook PageGlobal Outpouring on InstagramGlobal Outpouring YouTube ChannelGlobal Outpouring on X

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” Isaiah 2:3bDo you ever feel like you're climbing a mountain in your journey with God? If so, you're right! Recently, Philip received some revelation about the mountain of the Lord described in the Scriptures, and how it applies to our daily walk with God. The Busses discuss the trials and difficulties you will face on your climb up the mountain of the Lord, and as well as the blessings and joy that come with climbing your mountain well. It may feel like one battle and hardship after another and it won't be easy, but ultimately, what awaits you at the top is so worth the climb!EMAIL: feedback@globaloutpouring.orgWEBSITE: https://globaloutpouring.net Upcoming Events:School of the Supernatural – Translation by Faith 2025 Related Links:Podcast Episode 276: “Who Is Greater?” CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIAGlobal Outpouring Facebook PageGlobal Outpouring on InstagramGlobal Outpouring YouTube ChannelGlobal Outpouring on X

Many of us grew up in legalism hearing, “Don't sin! People will think badly of you!” But is that the right motive not to sin? And if not, what is the right motivation? The answer is Love for the Father.The Busses dive into the Scripture to explore this life-changing topic. We must each understand that our sin doesn't just hurt other people, but it hurts the heart of our Heavenly Father. The Father wants to hold us so close to Him, but when we sin, we separate ourselves from His Presence. It's not just about a list of dos and don'ts, it's really about your relationship with your Father. So if you've found yourself in some blunders, now is the time to confess, repent, and just come back to Him. Let Him remind you how much He loves you and draw you back into relationship, and you'll stop sinning because when you love Him, you will keep His commandments.

Frank Cifaldi is joined by Marylou Badeaux to discuss the history of the vitally important Computer Entertainer, also known as The Video Game Update: a monthly newsletter which covered video game availability information and reviews in the 1980's. Co-created with Marylou's sister Celeste Dolan, this publication has helped provide historians with game information found from no other source, especially during the time of the 1983 game crash. Marylou reflects on the challenges they faced running a mail-order video game business as well as how they were able to gather such detailed information at the time. Marylou also touches briefly on her career working closely with Prince.You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.See more from Marylou Badeaux:Website: www.memories4you.com.auBook: Moments - Remembering PrinceVideo Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

Everyone has an opinion on what greatness is. The world certainly does. But what does God say about greatness? What is greatness in the Kingdom, and what are the qualifications for being great?Join the Busses for a look at how God deals with this subject throughout the Scriptures. From King David to Jesus and the disciples, the principle is clear: to be great, you must go low. The enemy and his cohorts always want to be exalted on the high places, thinking they can be greater than God. But our Heavenly Father and Jesus show us by example that the Greatest is the Servant of all. Tune in and be encouraged to go low, not to despise the small beginnings, and to focus on the greatness of your God!EMAIL: feedback@globaloutpouring.orgWEBSITE: https://globaloutpouring.net Upcoming Events:School of the Supernatural – Translation by Faith 2025 Related Links:Podcast Episode 237: “One of Heaven's Best-Kept Secrets—The Joy of Serving” with Dean BraxtonPodcast Episode 139: “Whatever Your Blunder, It's Forgivable.

Many years ago, the Holy Spirit challenged Bruce with a question, “Can a man be translated by faith?” Since then, the Allens have been led on a journey through faith, revelation in the Word, and supernatural experiences with the Lord. Today, they travel all over the world teaching Believers to walk in supernatural Kingdom life with Kingdom principles and discernment, all rooted in an intimate relationship with Jesus.Bruce and Reshma join the Busses to share their stories of how the Lord started them on this journey. They discuss translation in the Bible, from Enoch to Jesus and Philip, and give testimonies (theirs and others) of being translated in the Spirit for God's purposes. They also discuss the importance of discernment. Deception is growing more rampant every day, even in the Church! It's time for us to grow deeper in our intimate relationship with Jesus so that we will not be deceived by false signs and miracles in these last days.This episode is just a taste of what Bruce and Reshma will be teaching in the School of the Supernatural, Translation by Faith, at the Global Outpouring HQ in Jasper, AR, September 1-6, 2025!
