Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a broadcast that swings wildly from high-stakes legal battles to the neuroscience of footwear. This episode begins with a "Big Tobacco" moment for Big Tech, as Lionel and Lynn Shaw expose the addictive algorithms and AI toys threatening children. The conversation shifts to a war on the decline of the English language, the "fear-mongering" behind the Doomsday Clock, and why politicians like Eric Adams need to stop playing "dress-up" in emergency jackets. Broadcasting from a studio cold enough to "hang meat," Lionel tackles the neuroscience of duck boots, the conspiracy theories filling the public trust void, and the existence of Tom McAn. Finally, he dissects a "constitutional stunt" in Minneapolis regarding immigration, demands a RICO task force for Antifa, and recounts the gritty history of the East Village cannibal.

In this special "Warrior Thursday" edition of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel is joined by his "better half," Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors, to expose the critical war on child safety involving Big Tech's massive influence on Capitol Hill. Together, they break down how tech giants spend over $100 million on lobbying to delay and soften legislation, effectively treating children as "collateral damage" in their pursuit of global AI dominance and profit. Lynn explains the dangers of the outdated Section 230, the terrifying rise of "sextortion" rings targeting teen boys, and the hypocrisy of platforms that can instantly censor political speech but claim they are unable to filter out content teaching kids self-harm.

From the B.B.C. Radio Orchestra through the Buddy Rich & Gil Evans Orchestras, and on in to the Rock & Pop industry, Johnny established himself as a versatile and adaptable musician of the highest calibre.​ A measure of his success lies in the fact that his trumpet playing featured on at least 1 album in the UK album chart, continuously, without a break for over 13 years, and at one point he was playing on 11 of the top 50 albums in a single week.  He has performed on over 6000 recordings, more than 100 top ten albums and 38 US & UK No.1 records, including the recent BTS global smash "Dynamite." ​ A natural progression along the way was into record production, and he has produced (or co-produced) over 250 commercial releases, and co-written many of the songs. Indeed, he has had over 500 songs published, including songs for artists as diverse as The Spice Girls (he co-wrote their early songs), Odyssey & The Three Degrees.  In recent years he has focused on building and selling a number of businesses in the music and technology space. Johnny also enjoys employing his communication skills and experience through writing and speaking, and is the Founder of Elite Music Camps - offering week-long residential music courses taught by some of the finest musicians in the world.   Episode Links: Buy the book, Blown It, Johnny's stories from his amazing life!

What happens when we die, and what if it's more beautiful than we've ever imagined?   In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with John J. Davis, a man who died for 7 minutes during surgery... and came back with memories that will change how you see life, death, and what truly matters.   What he experienced during his near-death journey is a powerful glimpse into the afterlife, complete with spirit guides, life reviews, soul contracts, and a reunion with loved ones (and pets) on the other side.   John takes us beyond the white light to the "Orientation Center", a place souls go after they pass, to remember who they really are. He shares visions of cosmic libraries, planning rooms where we choose our lives, and the deep truth that no one comes to Earth by accident. This story is a breathtaking reminder that we are never truly alone and that our lives are more purposeful than we often realize.   If you've ever wondered what happens when we die, what your soul came here to learn, or why life's challenges might be part of a deeper plan, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.   ===   Guest Bio: John had a life-changing experience when he was 21 years old, which we now call a near-death experience. He was met by his spirit guide and given a tour of Heaven or the Other Side. During his experience, he was given a message to tell us that there is no death.   Website: http://johnjdavisnde.com       ===

Lionel roasts the media's obsession with trivialities like Don Lemon and sports while ignoring existential realities like AI and extraterrestrial intelligence.

What if one of the best-performing investments over the last few decades wasn't stocks, real estate, or gold — but LEGO? It sounds absurd, yet when researchers tracked the resale value of LEGO sets, they found returns that beat many traditional investments. We begin by looking at which sets gain value, why they do, and what makes some toys unexpectedly valuable. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0275531921001604 Life rarely goes according to plan. Careers shift, relationships change, health issues arise, and unexpected events force us to adapt — often before we feel ready. Since change is unavoidable, the real question becomes: how do you respond when life throws you off course? Maya Shankar joins me with powerful insights on navigating uncertainty and finding meaning when plans fall apart. Maya is a cognitive scientist, former senior advisor in the Obama White House, Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, host of A Slight Change of Plans, and author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans (https://amzn.to/4qAad5U) Time is one of the few constants in life — yet our experience of it is anything but constant. Why does time seem to fly on vacation but crawl in traffic? Why do many people feel that time speeds up as they get older? And what is time, really? Sten Odenwald helps untangle these questions. He's a longtime astronomer, Director of NASA's STEM Resource Development Project, and author of The Essential Book of Time (https://amzn.to/3N6qNfm). And finally, legendary relationship researcher John Gottman says long-term relationships don't succeed because of romance, passion, or even communication skills alone. Instead, they hinge on just two essential qualities — and without them, relationships are likely doomed. Listen to find out what they are. https://www.businessinsider.com/lasting-relationships-rely-on-2-traits-2014-11 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The UNFCCC was fundamentally flawed right from the start.

He takes a detour to roast "moron" pizza reviewers before diving into the terrifying existential threat of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the simulation of human brains, warning that AI could eventually rewrite its own code and end civilization. Finally, Lionel exposes the "Uni-party" illusion of American politics, rails against the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies, and explains why your cable news diet is nothing more than intellectual fast food.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a mind-bending journey through the political, the macabre, and the absurd. On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lionel conducts a controversial thought experiment to dismantle the modern definition of a "hero," asking if Donald Trump or even a trained police dog truly qualifies. He delivers his signature "garbanzo journalism" to tackle deep-state conspiracies, from the MLK assassination and Building 7 to the inconsistencies in Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy and the "dog of a case" surrounding Charlie Kirk. The conversation takes a dark turn into the future of mortality, exploring futuristic "Sarco" suicide pods, Chinese "organ vans," and the terrifying threat of Artificial General Intelligence rewriting its own code to end civilization. Between debates on selling your own kidney and the "Uni-party" illusion, Lionel finds time to roast "moron" pizza reviewers, moms dancing on social media, and the "overrated" legacy of Hunter S. Thompson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist, host of the podcast “A Slight Change of Plans,” and author of “The Other Side of Change.” This conversation explores the challenge of navigating involuntary change, whether it's injury, loss, or a future that suddenly collapses. We discuss identity and attachment, the illusion of control, why our brains resist uncertainty, the end of history illusion, rumination, and practical tools to help us see change not as a burden—but as a revelation. Maya also opens up about her own identity crises, a career-ending injury at 15, and later pregnancy losses that forced her to confront who she was beyond her deepest aspirations. Change is coming for all of us, whether we like it or not. Maya's goal is to give you the companion you need along the way. Enjoy!

Have you ever felt terrified of change… not just because life is shifting, but because you feel like you're shifting with it? I know that feeling well — and this week's conversation opened my heart and mind in such a profound way. In this week's episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a renowned cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and human transformation. Maya is the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the former Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama White House. She founded and chaired the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team and later became the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya's new book, The Other Side of Change, is a stunning blend of research and storytelling. In our conversation, we explore why change can feel so destabilizing, how our brains are wired to resist uncertainty, and what happens when the identities we've clung to suddenly fall away. Maya shares vulnerably about losing the violin career she spent her childhood building, and later, facing the grief and identity questions that came with unexpected challenges around motherhood. We also dive into some of the most fascinating ideas from her work — like why we mistakenly believe we're “done changing,” how awe and moral beauty can completely redirect our lives, and a simple 5-minute practice that can ground us when we feel unmoored. We talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the courage it takes to imagine ourselves beyond old definitions.  In a world where CHANGE is the only constant, Maya's work is a lighthouse.  This conversation is honest, expansive, and full of insight. If you're navigating transition, grieving a path that didn't unfold, questioning your identity, or simply curious about who you're becoming… this episode is for you. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

Maya Shankar joins Guy Kawasaki to unpack the psychology of change—why it rattles us, how it reshapes identity, and what helps people emerge stronger on the other side. Drawing from research, lived experience, and her book The Other Side of Change, Maya challenges the idea that growth comes easily and offers a grounded, human approach to navigating uncertainty without clichés.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Maya Shankar experienced devastating identity loss twice. First, a sudden injury ended her dreams of becoming a professional violinist; later, repeated miscarriages shattered her vision of motherhood. These losses forced her to confront how deeply she had tied her self-worth to specific roles and imagined futures. Drawing from cognitive science and human psychology, she learned to redefine her identity beyond self-imposed labels. In this episode, Maya explores the psychology of change, revealing why we experience “identity paralysis” when unexpected changes occur, and how we can use that to our advantage. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Maya will discuss: (00:00) Introduction  (02:59) Understanding Identity Paralysis  (07:21) The Science Behind Change  (17:00) Unlocking Potential Future Selves  (24:09) The Difference Between Resilience and Reinvention  (33:14) How Change Reshapes Values and Beliefs  (36:56) Self-Affirmation Exercises That Boost Positivity (40:40) The Change Toolkit: Navigating Life Transitions  (57:16) Navigating the Messy Middle of Change  (01:00:34) Mastering Career Pivots and Starting Fresh Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans. She serves as Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google and previously founded the White House Behavioral Science Team under President Obama as a Senior Advisor. A Rhodes Scholar with a Ph.D. from Oxford and a B.A. from Yale, Dr. Maya completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford.
