Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsToday's guest Taryn Southern is someone I consider a master surfer of technological change: a fellow elder millennial, artist, creative technologist, strategist, and dancer in the liminal zones of high chop. She's better than I am at finding the pocket, has made a name for herself for riding some serious bombs, and seems to know precisely when to bail. Starting as an actor, Internet famous for being an early YouTube influencer and her album I Am AI, the first LP composed and produced with an LLM, she caught air at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019 with the premier of her documentary I Am Human (co-directed with Elena Gaby), an intimate look at the lives of three people with implantable brain interfaces and the medical, ethical and societal implications.She's also produced an award-winning musical VR series for Google using Tiltbrush and Blocks, worked as Chief Storyteller for Blackrock Neurotech, minted the first song token on the Ethereum blockchain, spoken and consulted all over the world, operated as an angel investor, and survived breast cancer. In other words, she's just the person to teach you how to hang ten instead of duck diving under the next pounder. Let's drop in and grab the rail.

Episode 319 Scientists have created the first complete activity map of a mouse's brain. Combining brain images from multiple mice, researchers recorded more than 650,000 neurons while these mice manipulated little Lego steering wheels in a driving game. This complex behaviour has allowed scientists to examine the interplay between various parts of the brain - and could help us better understand consciousness. This might be the weirdest discovery about ants ever. Some eggs laid by Queen Iberian harvester ants (Messor ibericus) contain males of another species - that of the builder harvest ant (Messor structor). They are somehow cloning these males to create workers for the colony - a highly unusual form of reproduction. Find out how they're doing it - and let us know what your favourite ant is. Do you scroll on your phone when you're on the toilet? Well, you might want to stop doing that. For a long time we've thought straining on the loo increased your risk of developing haemorrhoids, also known as piles. But a new study shows it might be more to do with how long you're spending on the loo. Find out how scrolling through addictive apps could increase your risk of haemorrhoids by 50 per cent.

As the Lucky Strike entered the warp, the crew's sleep was disturbed by nightmares. As Damien slept, he saw the daemon, Kestrel, who was responsible for first igniting his psyker abilities, and accidentally used his powers in reality, thereby weakening the Gellar field. The rest of the crew woke up to alarms alerting them of the field's instability. Morgan protected CL053T as the servitor attempted to stabilize the field, Damien set his bed aflame as he continued to sleep, Judge Rex began attacking the Deamonettes who appeared on the ship, and Solomon saw a vision of the Judge attacking an innocent woman and turned on him. So far, Morgan is the only one who has seen through the deceptive visions borne out of the warp.Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.Enjoying Agents of the Inquisition?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Larry Norman thought another world was possible. Christians would make daring, artistic rock music. Mainstream musicians would make earnestly explore their spirituality in popular songs. He started a record label and an artist management company to make this a reality. And though he could see glimpses of this world, it was fully realized. Gregory Alan Thornbury is our guest this week- in an interview recorded in 2022. He's Norman's biographer and an "erstwhile theologian" as he puts it. His 2018 book, Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?: Larry Norman and the Perils of Christian Rock is a very thorough accounting of this singular artist. This episode highlights some of those "perils" referenced in the subtitle. This is part two of the interview. Topics covered in this segment include the reaction of the mainstream rock industry to Larry Norman, Bob Dylan's born again era, the lasting effect of the Christian contemporary music industry on America and where we see this energy today.---Register for Theology Beer Camp with our promo code RTDR for $75 off.Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

Today's episode is a different one and coincides wth the beginning of Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. Spring is a time of renewal, rebirth and new beginnings. From ecosystems and landscapes bursting with new life to warmer days and longer daylight hours, the potential of spring rings eternal. I wanted to do this as so many guests have spoken about pivotal moments in their lives that represent these periods of new growth and changed trajectories, and I wanted to bring that to you today to remind us all that we don't need to wait til January 1, or worse, a state of desperation to make changes in our life. Change and action are available to all of us right now.Personally I'm trying to use this spring as a launching pad for what I'm doing with Finding Nature - from building out some programs for organisations through to the project of bringing this show to video. Beyond that though, I'm hoping to use these four months before the end of the year as a period of transition and growth in other aspects of my life from health and movement to finance and money to relationships and fatherhood. I was reminded putting this together - and hopefully you are too - that the ability to learn from others who've gone through their own experiences are all around us to relate to, to learn from and hopefully to take suggestions and action into our own lives.I really enjoyed going into the show catalogue and putting this together. Every guest today I learnt from the first time around and I have again, and I hope you find something in this episode to help you with what you're trying to get done and move towards at the moment. If you enjoy any of the snippets from this show, I've linked all of the full episodes in the show notes so you can go listen to the whole thing from there.Discovering Real Meaning In The Dismantling: Nadya Hutagalung Wants You To Find ContentmentReaching for What's Possible - Emma Pocock's Vision for Sport as a Vehicle for ChangeBuilding and Maintaining A Body To Live, Work & Play In with Dr John PanagopoulosInternal Integration, External Actualisation - Mark Rowland is Here NowTammi Miller Will See You Now: Work Addiction, Identity and The Perils of Pursuing It AllStart Again - Ben Rennie Wants You to Know It's Your Time to Build Creative Confidence and Be The Person You Dream of BeingKaylene Langford Wants You To Start Now - The Power of Creation and Owning Your FreedomSupport the Finding Nature Go HalfCut 2025 campaign!Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram. Send me a messageThanks for listening.

Can small, meaningful interactions transform leadership and organizational success? Join us as we explore this fascinating question with Zach Mercurio, an authority in purposeful leadership and positive organizational psychology. Through Zach's compelling research, we uncover the concept of "mattering" in the workplace, a crucial element often overlooked amidst traditional rewards like pay raises and promotions. As employees grapple with feelings of invisibility, Zach introduces the idea of a "mattering deficit" and shares his insights on how leaders can create cultures where every team member feels valued and significant, elevating both well-being and performance.Our conversation with Zach also explores the profound impact of genuine care and connection in leadership. We address the distinction between caring about and caring for team members, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in leaders' actions. Unconscious signals can undermine employees' sense of mattering, and Zach provides practical strategies to ensure leaders' good intentions translate into meaningful daily practices. From understanding the role of "soft skills" to recognizing the subtle biases that can lead to complacency, we explore ways to build a supportive environment that fosters true belonging.Finally, we touch upon the critical role of noticing and affirming those we rely on at work. By moving beyond transactional interactions to transformational ones, leaders can create a more inclusive atmosphere. We share techniques like the green, yellow, red check-in to gauge emotional states and Carl Rogers' active listening principles, vital for building meaningful relationships. As we consider the intersection of AI and human connection, this episode promises a thought-provoking discussion on how recognizing and valuing each other can empower teams and, ultimately, transform organizations.What You'll Learn- The critical nuances between caring about and caring for your team- Shifting from transactional to transformational interactions- The significance of emotional connections in communication and decision-making- The paradox of leadership: empowering teams by letting go- The vital role of soft skills and the intersection of AI and human connectionPodcast Timestamps(00:03) – The Power of Mattering (in Leadership)(12:14) - The Importance of Caring for Others(18:36) – What It Truly Means to Notice Someone(27:03) –Small Gestures Can Build Deep Emotional Connections(38:03) – How to Create Psychological Safety(48:02) - Empowering Leadership Through Relinquishing Control(54:29) - Mattering in an AI WorldKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, The Power of Mattering, Maximizing Engagement, Enhancing Well-being, A Culture of Caring, Practicing Empathy, Soft Skills Drive Hard Results, Deep Emotional Connections, Effective Communication, Building Trust, The Perils of Command and Control, Increasing Human Connection, Relational Economy, Creativity, CEO Success

Jeran Campanella, widely known as  @jeranism  was once a leading figure in the Flat Earth community, creating content, debating scientists, and building a large following around his beliefs. His perspective changed dramatically after he joined an expedition to Antarctica, where he witnessed the 24-hour sun, an experience that convinced him the Earth is a globe. Since then, he has openly shared his transformation, facing heavy criticism and backlash from the Flat Earth community, while offering a rare insight into the mindset and journey of someone who publicly changed sides in such a controversial debate. ————————————————————

Larry Norman is widely recognized as the first Christian rock star. Recording with mainstream studio musicians The Wrecking Crew and later sharing a label with The Velvet Underground, Norman began his career singing explicitly about the values of evangelical Christianity on mainstream releases that didn't exactly light up the charts. But when Christian music publishers licensed his albums to sell in bookstores, sales went through the roof and the Christian Contemporary Music market was born. Plus he wrote the song "The Rock That Doesn't Roll."Gregory Alan Thornbury is our guest this week- in an interview recorded in 2022. He's Norman's biographer and an "erstwhile theologian" as he puts it. His 2018 book, Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?: Larry Norman and the Perils of Christian Rock is a very thorough accounting of this singular artist. This interview is being presented in two parts. This is part one, covering Norman's early life, views on race, the origins of his "One Way" symbol, his fall from favor with the Christian industry and his free-spirited wife, Pamela Ahlquist.---Register for Theology Beer Camp with our promo code RTDR for $75 off.Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

In this episode, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with filmmaker Sarah Friedland and feminist scholar and activist Lynne Segal about aging through a feminist lens, on the occasion of the digital release of Friedland's award-winning film Familiar Touch. The film follows cookbook author Ruth Goldman (Kathleen Chalfant) as she transitions to a memory care unit in an assisted living facility and struggles with a shifting sense of self and a different relationship to dependence and care.Friedland was inspired to tell this story by watching the fiercely independent women in her grandmother's Jewish Communist milieu as they aged, as well as by Segal's book Out of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Ageing—particularly its description of how aging renders the elder at once “all ages and no age,” and capable of experiencing time in less linear ways. Angel, Friedland, and Segal discuss what it would mean to embrace, rather than fear, the experience of aging; to center a politics of care and interdependence over a neoliberal idea of self-sufficiency; and to allow for elder desire. Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further ReadingOut of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Ageing by Lynne SegalLean on Me: A Politics of Radical Care by Lynne Segal The Care Manifesto: The Politics of Interdependence by The Care Collective“How the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Impacts Older Adults,” AARPThe Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie KatzenSarah Friedland's speech about Gaza at the Venice Film Festival“Why We, 18 Elder Jewish Women, Chained Ourselves to the White House,” Jewish Voice for Peace“Exodus From Now,” Arielle Angel, Jewish Currents Transcript forthcoming.

We live in an age where “compassion” and “tolerance” are paraded as the highest virtues. But when mercy is divorced from truth, it becomes cruelty in disguise. Rabbi Dunner takes us on a journey from Rousseau to Parshas Re'eh, and from woke politics to Rambam, to discover why the Torah warns us: “lo tachmol velo techaseh alav” — that false compassion destroys.

"In the last days perilous times shall come..." The believer in Christ faces many perils in these last days. The greatest peril is always the tendency of our own heart to want to conform to the world around us and not be so different from everyone else. In these last days it is going to be impossible for us to be faithful to Jesus and at the same time to conform to the world around us and follow their trends and fashions. Two things stand out as the most dangerous perils: uncleanness and deception. We are in great danger of falling under the influence of all the unclean spirits that are at work now, and of being deceived in a world where we cannot know what is true and false anymore. It happens by slowly and by degrees and so we must be vigilant and aware and resist the temptation to follow the world into these deadly things.

Guiding Question: What kind of faith and leadership does the next generation of Christians need to resist spiritual decline and carry the church forward? Summary Description: Robert Lewis uses humor, cultural critique, and biblical insight to deliver a sobering and urgent call for the next generation—particularly those under 40—to wake up to the dangers of spiritual drift. Through a satirical opening commercial for a fictional "pious pill," he illustrates the tendency of modern culture to seek artificial shortcuts for deep issues, including spiritual maturity. The message pivots to the biblical examples of Moses and Joshua in Deuteronomy 31, and Paul and Timothy in 2 Timothy 3. Lewis warns that every generation faces powerful cultural currents—what he calls the "undertow"—that pull believers away from authentic faith. He describes a four-generation cycle from spiritual excitement to eventual emptiness and argues that only by becoming a renewed “first generation” church can younger believers break that cycle. Outline: Satirical "Pious Pill" Sketch – Critique of easy spiritual fixes. Artificial Maturity – Cultural obsession with shortcuts to growth. Undertow Metaphor – Spiritual drift illustrated through generational flow. Deuteronomy 31 – Moses' warning to Joshua: Stay faithful to “the Rock.” 2 Timothy 3 – Paul's charge to Timothy: Resist cultural corruption. Four Modern Spiritual Currents: Corrupt personal values (self, money, pleasure). Corrupt behaviors (pride, irreverence, gossip). Formalized religion without power. False teachers offering spiritual tricks. Call to the Next Generation: Be Standard Bearers: Hold firm to Scripture. Be Personal Trainers: Disciple others deeply. Be Generous Givers: Time, money, and energy for the Kingdom. Be Risk Takers: Bold, creative, globally-minded leaders. Key Takeaways Spiritual maturity can't be manufactured with shortcuts; it requires discipline and authenticity. Generational drift is natural unless intentionally resisted through biblical conviction and courage. Leaders must prepare for cultural and theological challenges that mimic spirituality but lack truth. The next generation can become a renewed "first generation" if they commit to deep personal growth and bold faith. The church's future vitality depends on young Christians stepping into leadership, with courage and vision.

Principles, Polarization, and the Perils of Partisan Shaming. Let's dive into the heated “Redistricting Wars” in Texas, California, and other states. Using David French's framework of “Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it wise?”, Corey examines the legal, moral, and strategic angles of mid-decade redistricting. From explaining the political strategies behind Texas's proposed map changes to defending California's independent redistricting commissions, Corey makes the case for more competitive, purple districts. He also shares a candid and sometimes heated social media exchange about whether sticking to democratic principles is the right approach when political opponents “fight dirty.” *CORRECTION: Corey incorrectly referred to a conversation with Dr. Matthew D. Taylor. Corey incorrectly stated his first name as Michael instead of Matthew. What Is Discussed: Why Texas's mid-decade redistricting is technically legal but ethically questionable How California's independent commissions foster competitive districts The strategic risks of over-gerrymandering The dangers of toxic partisanship and abandoning core principles Why persuasion works better than shaming in political discourse Episode highlights: [00:02:00] Applying the “legal, ethical, wise” framework to Texas's actions [00:04:00] Why breaking redistricting norms is dangerous [00:07:00] Why Corey doubts Texas will gain five seats through gerrymandering [00:08:00] California's purple districts and independent commissions [00:12:00] Polling on overturning California's commission system [00:14:00] A revealing online exchange about principles vs. partisanship [00:21:00] The problem with labeling all Trump voters as enemies of democracy [00:27:00] Sticking to nonviolent, principled engagement during political urgency [00:33:00] Why respectful persuasion beats moral grandstanding Featured quotes: “Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it wise? That's how I'm looking at this whole thing.” “We need more purple districts—places where voters have to talk to each other, not just live in partisan silos.” “We don't abandon our principles when it's convenient or when we think it's urgent.” “If your approach is to shame people into agreeing with you, you're not persuading anyone—you're pushing them away.” Resources mentioned: Reuters article on Texas redistricting fight: www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-led-texas-redistricting-gambit-ignites-national-arms-race-control-congress-2025-08-05/ Politicology with Ron Steslow and Mike Madrid: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cartographic-warfare-the-weekly/id1514968525?i=1000721241146

Send us a textWelcome Back:Are you blessed? Most of us would say yes. But with blessing comes danger—the peril of privilege. In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we explore Paul's sobering warning from Israel's history in 1 Corinthians 10. How do we live under God's favour without becoming presumptuous? How do we handle spiritual blessings without drifting into complacency? Join us as we learn from the past and lean on the faithfulness of God in the face of temptation.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:1–14Summary:Paul reminds the Corinthians—and us—that blessing is not a guarantee of faithfulness. Drawing from Israel's story, he warns that spiritual privilege can become a snare if it leads to presumption. In this episode we learn:How Israel's blessings mirror our privileges in Christ.Why privilege can lull us into spiritual complacency.What it really means to “take heed lest you fall.”The promise of God's faithfulness in every temptation.Why the way of escape is often as simple—and urgent—as fleeing.Key Verse:“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!” (1 Cor 10:12)Takeaway:Your blessings in Christ are glorious—but they are not a license to drift. They are a call to vigilance, gratitude, and humble dependence on God's faithfulness.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingMatt Fanslow dives into an unexpected but fascinating comparison between Jurassic Park and the auto repair industry, exploring themes of chaos theory, unintended consequences, and the importance of foundational knowledge. Drawing parallels from the iconic film (and Michael Crichton's novels), Matt discusses how small decisions—like cutting corners or skipping fundamentals—can lead to big, unpredictable outcomes in business, careers, and life.Key Topics Discussed:"Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether They Could, They Didn't Stop to Think If They Should"How the pursuit of innovation without foresight mirrors challenges in the automotive industry.The dangers of prioritizing profit or speed over sustainability and safety.Chaos Theory & The Butterfly EffectSmall, seemingly insignificant actions can have massive consequences (e.g., a poorly coded security system in Jurassic Park → dinosaur chaos).Applying this to business: How initial conditions (hiring, training, ethics) shape long-term success or failure.The Perils of Skipping FundamentalsIan Malcolm's critique in Jurassic Park: "You stood on the shoulders of giants but never learned the underlying theory."Why technicians can't jump straight to advanced diagnostics (e.g., lab scopes) without mastering electrical fundamentals."Fundamental ≠ easy. It's the foundation everything else relies on."Unintended Consequences in Auto RepairNedry's sabotage: How underpaying for critical services (e.g., software, training) backfires.Diet analogy: One unhealthy choice can undermine progress—just like one overlooked repair detail can lead to comebacks.Awareness & the "Little Things"The importance of paying attention to details in workflows, customer service, and team dynamics.Why hindsight often reveals blind spots—and how to cultivate proactive awareness.Notable Quotes:"Chaos theory isn't about randomness—it's about how tiny, early decisions create unpredictable outcomes.""You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket, but you also can't master diagnostics without understanding electricity.""Respect the journey. Mastery isn't just about skill; it's about humility and earned wisdom."Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.
