    Esta semana, os invitamos a descubrir el mensaje oculto tras uno de los cuentos más populares de todos los tiempos: El Mago de Oz, de L. Frank Baum. Más allá de su fachada infantil esconde una alegoría esotérica del viaje del alma hacia la iluminación. Exploraremos cómo el arcoíris, el camino de baldosas amarillas o el tornado aluden a enseñanzas ocultistas sobre la ascensión espiritual y la evolución de la consciencia. Cada compañero de Dorothy —el espantapájaros, el hombre de hojalata y el león cobarde— representa aspectos del ser humano por desarrollar (mente, emociones y voluntad). Además, analizaremos símbolos clave: los zapatos mágicos como puente entre mundos, la Ciudad Esmeralda y la ilusión perceptiva, y mucho más. Nuestra guía para la ocasión es la periodista cultural y crítica de cine Adriana Schmorak. En la segunda parte de este especial dedicado al mundo de Oz, profundizamos junto al crítico de cine Mikel Navarro en la leyenda negra que rodeó al rodaje de la película de 1939. Abusos, accidentes, suicidios… ¿Qué hay de cierto?

    Se qualcuno avesse detto a Dorothy che presto, anzi prestissimo, avrebbe sentito tanta struggente nostalgia delle praterie del Kansas, forse la bambina non ci avrebbe creduto. E fu solo il principio di una serie di incredibili avventure che avrebbero accompagnato lettori piccoli e grandi in una meravigliosa terra nota come OZ."Folklore, leggende, miti e favole hanno accompagnato i bambini di tutte le epoche, poiché ogni giovane prova un profondo e istintivo amore per le storie fantastiche, meravigliose e palesemente irreali.La storia de Il Meraviglioso Mago di OZ fu scritta solo per divertire i bambini di oggi. Aspira a essere una favola moderna, nella quale predominano il senso di gioia e meraviglia, mentre le sofferenze e gli incubi sono esclusi"Cominciamo da dove tutto ebbe inizio. Da un ciclone che trasportò una casa in una straordinaria e pericolosa terra popolata da animali parlanti, streghe e da un Mago che probabilmente non è meraviglioso come vuole far credere.01.

    What makes a piece of music good? What makes a song a good song? The music industry has, for a century or so, been obsessively oriented with creating mysterious and exciting identities for artists they want to turn into stars. The industry emphasizes the artist, rather than the art. The art itself, along with the producers, lyricists, session musicians, engineers, and promoters, are all those kinds of things happening "behind the curtain" that, like the Wizard in Oz, are meant to be ignored. But if you extract all the PR and music business hoopla, what makes a song a good song? Is it actually about the artist recording or performing it, or is it about the music itself? If it's the artist that makes the song, then what about the artist? Does the artist need to have lived a virtuous life in order to make likeable art? Does the artist need to be from a certain part of the world, and not another? Does the artist need to be human? My take on these questions is in the end, other factors may play into how a song is perceived in a big way, but what really matters is the song itself. If it's delivered well by a competent performer live or recorded, and the listener is in a good place for really listening, then a sad song will make the listener cry. A song about memories of your youth will evoke such memories. A satirical song about current events the listener is following in the news will likely make the listener laugh. These reactions of the listener are the measure of the song's impact. That's what this song is about. I invite you to close your eyes and give a song your full attention. You might try doing that every day, and call it meditation.

    Episode Title: "Santa's 3D Printer & The Killer Snowman" - Fantasy Takes Over & The Mechanoids Attack! - Patreon Exclusive Sample CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT TO OUR LISTENERS: The Doctor's Beard Podcast delivers a festive Patreon Exclusive perfect for the holiday! Join John (as Santa Claus) and Jim (as the Evil/Demon Magician) as they unwrap a mixed Santa's bag - three Doctor Who strips from the 12-week Dalek Master Plan era, plus an emotionally satisfying Dalek comic featuring the Mechanoids' first appearance! THE SEA CHANGE: Jim identifies a major shift in the Doctor Who strip: "The stories have really become little fantasies than science fiction." What began as simplistic but genuine sci-fi has transformed into Oz-esque fantasy adventures with frog people, ancient mariners, and yes - Santa Claus himself. DOCTOR WHO STRIPS: "SHARK BAIT" (November 22 - December 13, 1965) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin The Doctor helps frog people with their shark problem before the story pivots to an ancient mariner trying to claim the TARDIS as his home. Meandering plot reminiscent of Dalek Master Plan's mid-story shifts. "A CHRISTMAS STORY" (December 20, 1965 - January 10, 1966) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin John's bold claim: "Actually better than the TV episode [Feast of Steven]!" Santa Claus appears as a character (Jim loves this trope from comics), falling behind on toy TARDIS production due to overwhelming demand. The Doctor saves Christmas by providing Santa with... a 3D printer! "Maybe the Doctor gave us 3D printing. Whoever thinks they invented it needs to read this story." The B-Plot: A creepy demon magician hampers Santa's efforts. But the REAL terror? The Killer Snowman who literally tries to choke John to death!  John recognizes similarities to Matt Smith's "The Snowman" Christmas special, theorizing Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat were subconsciously influenced by childhood comic memories. "Bill Mevin's family needs a few ducats... or grubsits." "THE DYTUS EXPEDITION" (January 22 - February 12, 1966) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin The long-extinct Dytus bird escapes a space zoo. The Doctor offers to recapture it, leading to jungle adventures with unfortunate native stereotypes (echoing the recent Monstrons issue). Jim gets "a real Doctor Dolittle vibe" from the giant creature quest on an island. Both hosts confess: "I like stories about space zoos" (with John teasing an upcoming episode will satisfy this). THE DALEKS: "EVE OF WAR" (December 11, 1965 - January 8, 1966) Writer: David Whitaker (from Terry Nation's concepts) Artists: Richard Jennings (Parts 1-5), Ron Turner (Parts 6-7) Artist Change Alert: Ron Turner takes over for the final two installments, redesigning Daleks to resemble the movie versions. He continues as the strip's artist going forward. The Story: After rebuilding Skaro in "just a few months" (!) with intricate surveillance to prevent future invasions, the Daleks plan to mine nearby planet Auric. That's when the Mechanoids attack. This is the "first meeting" between Daleks and Mechanoids in strip continuity - different from TV universe. The Mechanoids are presented as equally conquering, totally machine entities (unlike the Daleks with organic components inside). Key moment: The strip explicitly clarifies Mechanoids are "totally machine" while Daleks are not - important distinction! True Cliffhanger: The story literally ends mid-narrative with "TO BE CONTINUED" - not just teasing the next adventure but stopping in the middle of this one! THE BIG QUESTION: John asks Jim: "Do you find yourself enjoying reading these more than watching some of the Dalek stories on TV?" Only one Dalek strip disappointed them across the entire run - and the end approaches! Time to buy the collection. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE DOCTOR'S BEARD PODCAST!

    The countries within the EU and the U.K. have dealt with overwhelming censorship for decades now, is an all out assault on free speech coming to America? In the United Kingdom, 30 people are arrested every day for social media posts, retweets or even cartoons. Michael Shellenberger has been monitoring this dangerous trend and recently spoke to the EU Parliament. A very unpopular group of European leaders don't like when they see dissenting voices on the internet. Shellenberger describes a system in which the EU appoints so-called “trusted flaggers” – NGOs and academics who receive special access to the platforms' data in order to identify content that is to be removed. While President Trump has defunded a lot of the censorship taking place under Biden, this global censorship campaign has its sights set on America next. President Trump signed an executive order to move marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, allowing medical research to be done for cannibodial medical purposes. Dr Oz is here today to discuss what this means for patients in pain or suffering from PTSD. As administrator of the Center for Medicaid and Medicare services, Dr Oz has already blocked fraudsters trying to scam Medicare. There are many sophisticated operations, including foreign governments that are attacking and defrauding Obamacare. As President Trump secured a victory in prescription drug pricing, Dr Oz is optimistic about getting real healthcare reform for American citizens.

We dive into a common blocker—fear of realizing gains—and replace it with a better plan: build the mix you actually need, then minimize taxes over years with smart account placement, specific-lot sales, and well-timed gain harvesting. From there we lay out a practical route to a Golden Butterfly structure—growth and value stocks, long Treasuries, gold, and short-term bonds—implemented primarily inside tax-deferred accounts to keep the brokerage account's changes light and intentional.Along the way, we tackle a hot question on Bitcoin. Our take is grounded, not tribal: no income, high volatility, and shifting correlation that often mirrors high-beta growth. If you must touch it, keep it tiny so it can't steer your long-term outcomes. More important, we reframe risk tolerance: being comfortable with swings isn't a destination. Decide whether your target is maximizing lifetime spending or terminal wealth, then right-size volatility and liquidity to fit that goal. Finance comes first; the personal is how you stick to it.We round out the conversation with a market scoreboard—gold's surge, equities' strength, managed futures' late-year pop—and a transparent look at model portfolios, from classic all-weather to a measured, levered stack that's built for accumulators who accept higher swings. We also share a listener-made “graphic novel” twist on a past episode now posted as bonus material.

    Mike has been fascinated with The Wizard of Oz his entire life because of the traumatic experience the cast and crew suffered in the making of the 1939 movie. He shares the things you might not know about the classic film from people being burned, poisoned, forced to smoke cigarettes, slapped in the face and more terrible things. And how the movie was actually a failure when it debuted in theaters but was saved almost 20 years later and became the classic we know it to be today. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 starring Josh Hutcherson. It picks up one year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Former security guard Mike has kept the truth from his 11-year-old sister, Abby, concerning the fate of her animatronic friends. Mike crashes out over how bad he thought it was, why it was his worst theater experience of the year and the one redeeming quality of the franchise. In the Trailer Park, Mike blind reacts to Supergirl starring Milly Alcock and coming out on June 26, 2026. It’s about Superman’s 23-year old cousin who has a drinking problem and will serve as the 2nd film in the DC Universe. When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

    Weight Loss Drug Wars, Chromothripsis Cancer Discovery, Steroid Blood Clot Risks, Creatine for Elders, Mammogram Study Flaws, Red Meat Myths, and Dr. Oz's Report Card

    Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by examining how market competition is actually working in the weight loss drug sector. Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy compete against Eli Lilly's Monjaro and ZepBound, with prices dropping nearly 50% as companies launch direct-to-consumer websites. The main barriers remain needles and refrigeration, driving development of oral versions. Novo's Wegovy pill awaits FDA approval for early 2026 launch at $150 monthly. Next-generation drugs show remarkable results: Eli's retatrutide causes 24% weight loss in 48 weeks, while Novo's Cagrisema combines semaglutide with amylin to reduce muscle loss. Pfizer paid $10 billion for Metsera's once-monthly drug despite significant side effects. A quick fiber tip suggests adding plain psyllium to morning coffee for cardiovascular and microbiome benefits. Start with half a teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (10 grams) over several weeks to avoid gas. The prebiotic fiber improves glucose tolerance and may reduce cancer risk. UC San Diego scientists discovered why cancers mutate so rapidly despite being eukaryotic cells with protected chromosomes. The answer is chromothripsis, a catastrophic event where the enzyme N4BP2 literally explodes chromosomes into fragments. These reassemble incorrectly, generating dozens to hundreds of mutations simultaneously and creating circular DNA fragments carrying cancer-promoting genes. One in four cancers show evidence of this mechanism, with all osteosarcomas and many brain cancers displaying it. This explains why the most aggressive cancers resist treatment. Research from 2013 shows any glucocorticoid use significantly increases venous thromboembolism risk, with threefold increases during the first month of use. The risk applies to new and recurrent clots, affecting both oral and inhaled steroids, though IV poses highest risk and topical the lowest. Joint injections fall somewhere between inhaled and oral. Anyone with prior blood clots should avoid steroids except for life-threatening situations like severe asthma attacks requiring ventilation. A meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials shows creatine supplementation helps older adults (48-84) maintain muscle mass when combined with weight training two to three times weekly. The supplement provides no benefit without exercise. Recommended dosing starts at 2 grams and works up to 5 grams daily. Vegans benefit most since they consume little meat or fish. Important caveat: creatine throws off standard kidney function tests (creatinine), so users should request cystatin C testing instead for accurate renal health assessment. A new JAMA study suggesting risk-based mammogram screening is fatally flawed. First, researchers offered chemopreventative drugs like tamoxifen only to the high-risk group, contaminating the study design. Second, the demographics skewed heavily toward white college-educated women, missing the reality that Black women face twice the risk of aggressive breast cancer with 40% higher mortality. Third, wild-type humans failed to follow instructions—low-risk women continued getting annual mammograms anyway while high-risk women skipped recommended extra screenings. The conclusion of "non-inferior" outcomes is meaningless given poor adherence. Stick with annual mammograms, and consider alternating with MRIs for high-risk women. The EAT-Lancet report condemns red meat based purely on observational data showing correlations with heart disease, cancer, and mortality. But people who eat lots of red meat differ dramatically from low consumers: they weigh more, smoke more, exercise less, and eat less fiber. Studies can't control for sleep quality, depression, or screen time. Notably, heavy meat eaters also die more in accidents, suggesting a risk-taking lifestyle phenotype. The inflammatory marker TMAO is higher in meat eaters, but starch is also pro-inflammatory. Eating red meat instead of instant ramen might improve health. A balanced diet with limited amounts beats epidemiology-based blanket statements. Dr. Dawn grades Dr. Oz's performance as CMS administrator. Starting at minus one for zero relevant experience, he earns plus two for promoting diet, exercise, and gut health on his show. He studied intensively after nomination, calling all four previous CMS directors repeatedly and surrounding himself with experienced staff (plus one). He finalized Medicare rules favoring prevention over surgery and earned bipartisan praise as "a real scientist, not radical" (plus one). He divested healthcare holdings but kept some blind trust interests (minus 0.5). He's developing a CMS app and partnering with Google on a digital health ecosystem (plus one), but supports ending ACA subsidies that will raise premiums for millions (minus one).

    It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On today's program: Today is the deadline for the release of the Epstein files, and the DOJ is scrambling to delay and redact as much as possible. Heather "Digby" Parton joins Sam and Emma to wrap up the week's news. The three dig into the Epstein files, Trump's impromptu speech on Wednesday, the results of the DNC's self-audit, and more. James Talarico makes his stance on the genocide in Palestine clear at a campaign event in Houston, separating himself from Jasmine Crockett. Donald Trump falsely claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center as the Trump-Kennedy Center was unanimous, when in reality microphones were muted to silence dissent over the name change. RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz hold a press conference announcing their attack on gender-affirming care, delivering a disturbing display of blatant misinformation. Joe Rogan claims that "everyone" anecdotally knows someone who was injured—or even killed—by the vaccine. Jim Breuer attempts to excuse his antisemitism with the tired defense: "Don't listen to me, I'm just a jagoff comedian."  All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

    Drew Taylor and Jim Hill kick off this week's show with a genuinely wild media landscape where holiday releases, awards season, and corporate maneuvering are all colliding at once. From a brewing battle over Warner Bros. Discovery to Disney's latest tech-flavored swing, the first half is a rapid tour through what's breaking (and what might be breaking next). Then Jim takes the wheel solo for a longer, history-packed trip over the rainbow, tracing how animation veterans, studio deals, and a certain pair of feuding cartoon animals keep finding their way back to Oz. NEWS • Netflix and Paramount Skydance are reportedly lining up competing bids for Warner Bros. Discovery, with the situation edging into hostile takeover territory • Disney signs a three-year OpenAI licensing and investment deal, reportedly tied to short-form character content and platform experimentation • Zootopia 2 clears the $1 billion worldwide mark, adding to a renewed “WDAS is back” narrative after recent holiday stumbles • The trailer drops for Andy Serkis' Animal Farm, with Seth Rogen voicing Napoleon and Angel Studios handling distribution • A quick remembrance of animator Tony Benedict, whose career path traced the industry's mid-century churn from Disney to TV animation FEATURE • Why Chuck Jones left Termite Terrace, briefly detoured to Disney, then later set up shop at MGM • How Disney's MGM licensing deal and the later Turner-Time Warner corporate shuffle complicated who “owned” what in the Oz rights maze • The surprisingly effective mash-up of MGM legacies in Tom & Jerry and the Wizard of Oz (and why it was successful enough to inspire a return trip) • A lightning round of other animated Oz side-quests, including costly misfires and international oddities HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Drew Taylor - IG: @drewtailored | X: @DrewTailored | Website: drewtaylor.work FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.
