In this episode of the 4 Corners Podcast, we go old school with Dave and Patrick helming the ship. It is the week before the Super Bowl, which typically means a slow news week. This week was no exception, but the guys put in the work to tell you all about the NCAA's ongoing controversies regarding player eligibility and the recent Royal Rumble event. The conversation highlights the absurdities in college sports, particularly the implications of professional players returning to college basketball, and transitions into a detailed analysis of the Royal Rumble, including the winners and the event's overall reception.This week's hosts...

Patrick O. Smith, PhD, ABPP, returns for his third Faculty Factory Podcast appearance this week. We dive into the art of succession planning, leadership continuity, and the blueprint of a “phased rewirement,” reflecting on what these have meant for him throughout his impactful career in academic medicine. Dr. Smith is the Chief Faculty Affairs Officer and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) in Jackson. He also serves as a Professor of Family Medicine at UMMC. The podcast kicks off with "The Story Leading Up to Phased Rewiring." It began when Dr. Smith, as Chief Faculty Affairs Officer, started contemplating how he could transition out of the role while continuing to enjoy life at different levels and engage in different activities than simply coming into the office every day. The next step was to create a succession plan and identify who had demonstrated the skills and competencies needed for UMMC's next Chief Faculty Affairs Officer. Dr. Smith walks us through the entire process, including how the individual identified for succession was put on a coaching path to be ready to assume the new role when the time came. This included shadowing Dr. Smith as he hired new leadership, allowing the individual to observe that process from start to finish. As we learn, it's not just a phased rewirement; it's a phased replenishment. You'll discover in this conversation that Dr. Smith's approach is thoughtful, purposeful, and strategic when it comes to succession planning. He also discusses what goes into building a reputation for “Continuity of Leadership” at an institution and how to be more intentional about ensuring the stability of individuals in formal leadership positions. “People planning is the key to a thriving and flourishing organization within your building—think about what you need to do differently to implement people planning successfully,” he said. His previous two appearances on our podcast can be found here: Episode 13 – A Faculty Factory Interview with Patrick O.

This week is a special episode. Only David Senra could get me to be on the other side of the mic. Because I don't plan on being interviewed often, I wanted to share this conversation, which I so enjoyed, with our audience. It went in a very different direction than I expected. We barely talk about investing or interviewing. Instead, we talk about finding an organizing principle for life, undiscovered talent, and the idea that “the reward for good work is more work.” We also discuss the principles that guide how I think about building Invest Like the Best, Colossus, and Positive Sum. This conversation was originally recorded and released on David Senra, and I wanted to share on the Invest Like The Best feed as well. Please go follow what he's doing, there's no one like David.

WASHINGTON'S NAVY AND THE LIFEGUARD Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Upon arriving in Cambridge in July 1775, George Washington formed a close bond with the Marblehead Regiment, relying on them for security and expertise. Facing a desperate shortage of gunpowder, Washington utilized the Marbleheaders to create an impromptu navy; Captain John Manley successfully captured a British ordinance ship, delivering vital supplies. Washington also established the "Lifeguard" (Commander-in-Chief's Guard) to protect himself and his papers, appointing Marbleheader Caleb Gibbs as commander. The segment describes Beverly as a crucial, difficult-to-navigate port that protected these new cruisers from the Royal Navy. NUMBER 41870
ASSASSINATION PLOTS AND THE MIRACLE OF NEW YORK Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. In 1776, a conspiracy orchestrated by Loyalist Governor Tryon to assassinate George Washington and destroy Patriot gunpowder supplies was uncovered. Thomas Hickey, a member of Washington's own Lifeguard, was implicated and subsequently executed. Later, during the Battle of Long Island, the Continental Army faced destruction, trapped against the East River. In what O'Donnell calls an "American Dunkirk," the Marblehead Regiment utilized their nautical skills to ferry 9,000 troops to safety in Manhattan under the cover of darkness and fog, saving the revolution from collapse. NUMBER 51872
CROSSING THE DELAWARE AND THE VICTORY AT TRENTON Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. On Christmas night 1776, Washington launched a surprise attack on Trenton requiring a crossing of the ice-choked Delaware River. O'Donnell explains that only the diverse Marblehead Regiment, which included African American and Hispanicsoldiers, possessed the skill to navigate the treacherous waters. Once across, Glover's men secured a decisive tactical advantage by capturing the Assunpink Creek bridge, trapping the Hessian forces. The segment notes that future president James Monroe was severely wounded during the battle and saved by a volunteer doctor. NUMBER 61876
ASSUNPINK CREEK, PRINCETON, AND INOCULATION Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Following Trenton, many Marbleheaders returned home due to expired enlistments and starving families, but those who remained fought in the pivotal Battle of Assunpink Creek. Here, the Americans successfully held the bridge against elite British grenadiers before maneuvering to attack Princeton, where Washington bravely rode near the front lines. Recognizing the threat of smallpox, Washington ordered the mass inoculation of the army, a massive logistical feat overseen by Dr. Nathaniel Bond. Tragically, Bond died while performing this service, which O'Donnell views as one of Washington's greatest strategic decisions. NUMBER 71872
THE LEGACY OF THE MARBLEHEADERS Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. The final segment reflects on the heavy price Marblehead paid for independence, ending the war with a ruined economy and nearly 400 widows. O'Donnellnotes that few physical memorials exist today, though John Glover's house and the burial hill are still present. The discussion concludes with a tribute from Henry Knox, who wished legislators understood that without the "men of Marblehead" leading the army across the Delaware, the revolution might have failed. O'Donnell asserts that this "origin story" is indispensable yet has remained largely untold. NUMBER 81889
THE CORNFIELD ESCAPE AND THE POWDER CRISIS Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Patrick O'Donnellintroduces the Marblehead leadership during the critical nights of April 1775. As the British marched toward Lexingtonand Concord to seize gunpowder, three key Patriot leaders—Elbridge Gerry, Azor Orne, and Jeremiah Lee—were forced to flee the Blackhorse Tavern and hide in a cornfield to avoid arrest. O'Donnell emphasizes that the conflict was initially a civil war over resources, specifically black powder, which the Marbleheaders had been smuggling in from Spain. The British aim was to disarm the rebels by seizing these munitions, sparking the events at Lexington. NUMBER 11780
THE BATTLE OF MENOTOMY AND INFORMATION WARFARE Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Following the initial skirmishes, the conflict escalated into the Battle of Menotomy, where Marbleheaders engaged the retreating British column in brutal combat. O'Donnell highlights a sophisticated "information warfare" campaign led by Elbridge Gerry, who compiled depositions to establish that the Crown fired first. The Patriots acquired a fast ship to rush this narrative to England, arriving two weeks before General Gage's official report and successfully swaying British public opinion. Additionally, this segment illustrates the civil war atmosphere, describing how Dr. Nathaniel Bond was threatened by neighbors for treating wounded British soldiers. NUMBER 21860
BUNKER HILL, SMALLPOX, AND TREASON Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. The discussion moves to June 1775, covering the Battle of Bunker Hill where Marbleheader Samuel Trevett's cannons successfully repelled Britishcharges despite a critical lack of gunpowder. O'Donnell also details a smallpox epidemic in Marblehead, where a Patriot-funded inoculation hospital on Cat Island was burned down by a mob of Loyalists. Amidst this turmoil, John Glover defended his home with a cannon in his foyer. The segment also reveals the duplicity of Dr. Benjamin Church, a high-ranking Patriot leader who was secretly providing intelligence to General Gage. NUMBER 31819

After some time away, we've decided that now's the moment for some new forays into the past. Keep an eye on this feed – new episodes on the way! In the meantime we thought we'd post one of our favourite ever interviews here. It's with the author Nikolai Tolstoy on his stepfather, the novelist Patrick O'Brian. O'Brian was a writer of great gifts. His depiction of the late Georgian world is regarded as being very nearly as vivid as Jane Austen's. But who was he really? Where did he get his inspiration from? How did he treat those closest to him? Tolstoy, who knew Patrick as well as anyone alive, answers these questions. We hope you enjoy this episode. Happy 2026 and more soon!
In this episode of the 4 Corners Podcast, a fully loaded panel discusses the changing landscape of college football. The transfer portal, NIL, a whole lot of money, and a quasi-form of free agency have reshaped the sport's landscape. Is this a positive or a negative? Speaking of college football, though, the quarterfinals of the CFP came and went. Three of the games were kind of snooze fests, dominated by stifling defenses, as Indiana, Oregon, and Miami advanced to the Final Four. But that fourth game between Ole Miss and Georgia was an instant classic. The guys break it all down for you this week.This week's hosts...

In this episode, we explore the magic behind the Aubrey–Maturin novels—often hailed as the greatest naval fiction series ever written—and uncover what makes Patrick O'Brian's storytelling so enduring, vivid, and beloved.Dr Sam Willis speaks with Dean King, O'Brian's acclaimed biographer and one of the foremost experts on the author's life and work.Together, we delve into the rich themes that define the books: the complex friendship between Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin; the interplay of duty, loyalty, and personal conscience; the transformative nature of life at sea; and the fine balance O'Brian strikes between high adventure and intimate human drama. We look at how he blends naval action with music, science, medicine, espionage, natural philosophy, and the deep emotional landscapes of his characters.Dean also guides us through the thrilling and turbulent world of the Napoleonic Wars—an era of global conflict, revolutionary change, and unprecedented naval innovation. It's a period bursting with dramatic sea battles, political intrigue, scientific discovery, and the human costs of empire, all rendered with O'Brian's unmatched historical precision and wit.Packed with insights into O'Brian's craft, influences, and the real history behind the novels, this episode is a must-listen for long-time fans and newcomers alike. We also speak with Peter Leech, who runs the hugely popular Patrick O'Brian Appreciation Society on Facebook, one of those rare online communities that genuinely reflects the spirit of the books it celebrates. It's warm, knowledgeable, generous, and filled with people who love to share insights, nautical lore, historical tidbits, and favourite passages with genuine enthusiasm. The group balances deep expertise with a hugely welcoming approach, making it a place for newcomers just discovering Aubrey and Maturin while offering a treasure chest of scholarship, humour, and camaraderie for long-time readers...a finer crew of enthusiasts would be hard to find.

Dr. Patrick O'Banion - Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-12
This holiday episode finds hosts John Viola, Patrick O' Boyle, Dr. Marcella Martin welcoming "La Befana" for a funny, warm conversation about the Epiphany gift-giver and Italian holiday traditions. The banter centers on coal, "naughty lists," and the idea that Befana—not Santa—was historically the one who brought gifts in many Italian homes. Befana explains her roots in older seasonal and pagan imagery—sweeping out the old year and welcoming renewal—later blended with the Christian Epiphany story of the Magi on January 6. John and the gang touch on the liturgical calendar, modest stocking traditions of tangerines, sweets, and "sugar coal," and the Italian notion of bella figura as respect and preparedness rather than mere fashion. The episode turns hands-on as Befana makes pasta, shares regional lore from Puglia and Sardinia, and swaps gifts with the hosts. It closes with a call for Italian Americans to keep their language and traditions alive through family rituals, children's activities, and community—using Befana as a joyful way to carry culture forward. HOSTS: John Viola Patrick O'Boyle Dr. Marcella Martin SPECIAL GUEST: La Befana (Viviana Altieri) PRODUCED BY: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

Mike Gatto served four terms in the California Legislature, representing Los Angeles. He chaired the Appropriations Committee, served as Assistant Speaker, and authored several pieces of landmark legislation. On November 13, 2013, his father, Joseph Gatto, was brutally murdered in a home-invasion robbery, which remains unsolved. Mike wrote the book, Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places, which documents his father’s brutal murder and the investigation that took place. Mike takes the reader along with him, witnessing Mike’s frustration, anger, and grief. It was indeed an honor to talk with Mike. He was honest and sincere, taking me to places during the interview I didn’t expect. I hope and pray that someday soon the killer in this case is brought to justice and the Gatto family can get some much-deserved answers. In today’s episode, we discuss: · Why Mike went into politics and what his wife thought. · The governors Mike worked for? · What and who were his biggest influences? · His father working 3 jobs and the impact he had on others, discipline, including white glove inspections. · On November 12, 2013, Joseph Gatto was murdered in an apparent home-invasion robbery. This case is still unsolved to this day! · How did you explain what happened to your father to your kids? · His first contact with the police regarding his father’s murder. · LAPD’s Robbery/Homicide taking the lead in this investigation. · Mike hiring a private detective. Was it worth his time and money and the pushback from the LAPD? Would you entertain a psychic or other non-traditional avenues? · The pressure he received from his own party to become the face of gun control. · The idea of closure is a fairy tale. Most families of murder victims never achieve this. · His book Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places. All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Please visit Mike's website to learn more about him and his book. Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!
