Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 16“Martin's Medical Mayhem: The Plot Thickens”In this week's episode, we catch up on what can only be described as Martin's trilogy of unfortunate health events—a saga that started calmly enough with a routine “Well Man” examination and rapidly unravelled into something straight out of a hospital drama.First came the Achilles disaster. One wrong move, one loud snap, and suddenly Martin is strapped into a moon-boot, sentenced to eight long weeks of hobbling around like a budget Stormtrooper. Spirits high, mobility low.Then, just as he was adjusting to life at half speed, a routine blood test decided to throw in a plot twist. What should have been a quick in-and-out appointment turned into a red-flag phone call from the GP, an urgent referral, and whispers of a chest infection with possible pneumonia. Cue the MRI tests, scans, monitoring, and a diagnosis that takes a nasty turn no one expected.We break down the timeline, the symptoms, the worry, and of course—Martin's own colourful retelling of events. From limping into clinics to being told off by nurses, to unexpected twists in the test results, this episode has the perfect mix of humour and heart.Join us as we unpack the chaos, support my mate, and discuss why Martin may genuinely qualify for his own loyalty card at the local West Suffolk hospital by now.Strap in—it's Martin, medicine, and mayhem in equal measure.#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com
If next year were a movie, what kind of film would it be? Action? Adventure? Redemption? A rom-com with questionable decisions and a killer soundtrack? Whatever it is — here's the truth: no magical hand is writing it for you. You get to take the damn pen. You're the writer, the director, and the lead. In this follow-up to The Hero's Journey, April hands you the director's chair for your own life. Too many leaders and entrepreneurs drift into another year by default — replaying the same story, following the same plot, repeating the same dialogue. But what if 2025 wasn't a sequel? What if you wrote something entirely new? In this episode, April challenges you to choose your genre, claim your pen, and direct a story that actually excites you. Because your life isn't a rerun — it's a production in progress. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ You Are the Director of Your Story No one else gets to decide the tone, the plot, or the outcome. You hold the pen. 2️⃣ Drift vs. Direction Most of us live other people's priorities — reacting instead of creating. 2025 doesn't have to be a rerun; it can be your reboot. 3️⃣ The Coaching Call that Sparked It During a group session, April asked: "If next year were a movie, what would it be?" William said The Greatest Showman — bold moves, bigger stages. Daniel said The Pursuit of Happyness — grit and purpose over glamour. Katrina said The Wizard of Oz — the journey home to her own power. Each one picked a story that matched their growth season. 4️⃣ The Plot Twist for You So, what's your movie? Action — courage to leap into what you've delayed. Redemption — rebuilding after loss or burnout. Release — letting go of control, perfectionism, or old identities. Rated R for real life — raw, unfiltered, fully alive. 5️⃣ April's Reminder You're not behind — you're just busy filming the wrong movie. If last year was Groundhog Day, make this year The Great Escape. If last year was Cast Away, make this one Homecoming. Quotes "No producer is coming to save your script — you already hold the pen." "You're not behind; you're just stuck in the wrong movie." "If last year was a sequel, this year can be your reboot." "You don't need permission to start — just courage to claim the pen." Challenge for Pivoters Take ten quiet minutes this week — no phone, no noise. Write the title of your 2025 movie. Ask yourself:
Last week, it seemed Netflix had made a deal to take over Warner Bros. -- but now, Paramount Skydance has swooped in with a surprise hostile takeover bid.New numbers show that already high rates of over-crowding in Ontario jails are getting worse. And our guest warns that promised bail and sentencing reforms will just exacerbate the problem.His app lets anonymous users report sightings of U.S. ICE agents; now, he's suing Trump officials, alleging the administration pressured Apple to bury it. A U.S. public health researcher believes cervical cancer can be eliminated in her lifetime -- and says an expansion of at-home HPV tests could help achieve that goal. A B.C. couple is working around the clock to reunite a lost house cat that disappeared six months ago with its worried owner, all the way in Oklahoma --before Christmas.An English landscape photographer went to the beach to capture images of some washed-up shipping containers -- and discovered the cargo was lots and lots of unripened bananas. As It Happens, the Monday edition. Radio that rolls with the bunches.
In this episode, Nicole explores the journey of embracing change and navigating the "in-between" moments of life. Join her as she discusses the beauty of letting go of our old selves and learning to accept who we are in the present. She dives into practical strategies for cultivating self-acceptance and confidence during times of transition. You'll discover how to acknowledge the discomfort that often accompanies change and how it can lead to personal growth.
In this solo episode, Michelle Glogovac pulls back the curtain on her unexpected path as an author—from the twists in traditional publishing to the moments that forced her to bet on herself. She talks candidly about what it really takes to navigate this industry, why the relationship with your agent should feel like a partnership (not a guessing game), and how crucial it is to honor the work authors pour into their books. Through her own experience, Michelle reminds writers to trust their instincts, advocate for their careers, and never forget to show gratitude for the people who help bring stories into the world.What We're Talking About...You're the one steering your writing career—no one else gets to hold the pen.You have full permission to write the stories you want to write.No publisher, no agent, no algorithm will market your book like you will.Feeling alone in the publishing process is normal, and it doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.You can build the writing life you want; nothing is off-limits.Know what you want in an agent—and don't settle for less.There's zero shame in changing agents when the relationship no longer fits.Publishing is a roller coaster; expect the highs and the gut punches.Showing gratitude to authors—and acknowledging their work—is essential.Your future is yours to shape, and you get to decide what happens next.ChaptersChapters00:00 The Journey of an Author03:34 Navigating Challenges in Publishing05:57 Embracing Change and New Opportunities06:16 Taking Charge of Your Writing Career09:12 The Importance of Persistence and Self-Promotion12:09 Gratitude for Authors and Creators

It is a week of reveals, endings, breakthroughs, and those uncomfortable moments when you have to look at your life and ask what you actually want.

And better yet, Storee is determined to win. Over Cole's dead body, she will.

"My main point here is how important it is for you to continue to be your own health advocate." In this callback episode we check back in with Joe, whose interview aired a few weeks ago but was actually recorded nearly a year ago in December of 2024. Joe has had new developments with his cancer and is now facing the incredibly difficult choice of undergoing life-altering surgery...or not. There is the hope of getting into clinical trials but, as is always the case with disease and treatments, nothing is certain. Join Cody and Joe as they discuss the emotional and practical challenges of managing recurring cancer and the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. This week, we are also releasing Cody's reflection simultaneously with this callback episode and we encourage you to listen, not just for its own updates after we recorded this interview, but also for Cody's thoughts on how we all face our own turning points in life.

Pol' and Patrik are BACK from New York with returning guest and beloved Real Housewives of New Jersey icon Teresa Giudice—the platinum-blonde Jersey bombshell diving into BravoCon madness, family healing, and a stunning new coffee reading. The episode kicks off with laughter as Patrik hilariously butchers Teresa's last name (“Jai-deuce!”). Teresa recaps BravoCon chaos: Gia's dehydration scare, paramedics rushing to the Four Seasons, recycled Vegas air, exhaustion, and why she avoided cast drama by staying at the Encore—right above Delilah's, where Pol' and Patrik partied. But the real jaw-dropper? Teresa and Joe Gorga secretly reunited weeks BEFORE BravoCon at their parents' mausoleum. She shares the full emotional chain: Gia urging her to let go in Marrakesh, her breakthroughs on Special Forces, Adriana's teary hug with cousin Joey, and the first brave text she sent Joe: “Never say never.” Joe initially pushed for a four-way sit-down with Melissa and Louie, but Teresa insisted on meeting him alone. At the mausoleum, Joe immediately hugged her, admitting he missed her. That led to a quiet park meetup and then a surprise family dinner arranged by Louie—where everyone laughed like old times. Teresa shuts down critics claiming it's “for show,” insisting she would never fake family reconciliation. She opens up about Louie's pain from the show, how he lost his job, his deep love for her daughters, and why public perception of him is so wrong. Today, Louie and Joe talk daily—“bro to bro.” Pol' and Patrik revisit last year's coffee reading—when Pol' predicted someone from her past would return. Teresa swore “never”… yet here they are. This year's cup is lighter, peaceful, and shows Teresa at the center as the matriarch—the exact role Joe called her during their reunion. The reading encourages her to lead with heart, unite the family before year's end, and enter 2026 with clarity. They touch on Housewives rumors, Melissa, Jennifer Aydin cheering their reconciliation, the infamous pizza-oven drama, and even joke about RHONJ women holding tomatoes or spaghetti as tag-line props. Teresa closes with reflections on her unbreakable bond with Louie—how he's always put her and the girls first—and the divine way they met. Pol' and Patrik celebrate her honesty, strength, and the powerful new chapter she's stepping into. A funny, raw, emotional, deeply human episode—the Teresa Giudice everyone loves, finally undressed.

If you are writing a villain's POV in your story, this episode is for you. Lydia Tar is a villain but she's also the protagonist of the story. Quite simply: villain + protagonist = anti-hero. The slow reveal of Tar's shadow is a masterclass in writing a villain POV. You could start off with an evil villain and maintain that line in your story, but it's much more compelling to watch the villain's camouflage and true nature being revealed over time. -M.

On this episode of Anime Minority Report, Jamie and Guerby dive straight into chaos. We're talking about the actual comment My Hero Academia's creator dropped about how he originally wanted to end the series and how that would've changed everything. From there, the conversation goes completely off the rails in true AMR fashion. Do protagonists really need to be strong in every anime, or have we just been conditioned to accept main characters who hit the gym more than they hit therapy? We debate it, joke about it, and somehow end up questioning our entire childhoods. If you like anime takes with unhinged energy, side commentary, and two hosts who probably should not record unsupervised, this episode is for you.
Both McLaren drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, have been disqualified from the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix for excessive skid wear. What do the rule say, and crucially, how does this impact the F1 title battle in the 2025 Formula 1 season? Max Verstappen dominates the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but would he have won even if Lando Norris didn't make a boo-boo of the start? Is Oscar Piastri's championship challenge over and done with? And above all else, were you entertained by the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix...and we mean entertained on-track. Kimi Antonelli's P17 to P5, how did that happen? How did he climb through the grid but Lewis Hamilton couldn't? Nico Hulkenberg in the points yet again for Sauber, while Carlos Sainz claimed the "best of the rest" for Williams.

God specializes in plot twists - taking the most broken family situations and writing completely different endings through the power of sacrificial love. In Genesis 44-45, we witness perhaps the greatest plot twist in Scripture: a family torn apart by jealousy, deception, and betrayal for over twenty years experiences miraculous restoration. Judah's willingness to sacrifice himself and Joseph's choice to extend grace transform a broken family into a restored one.Support the show
In today's episode of Life Talks with Lauren, I'm sharing something deeply personal and incredibly unexpected: a few months ago, I found out I was pregnant—after years of believing that having biological children just wasn't in the cards for me. This episode walks you through the moment everything changed, what it felt like to receive news I had quietly given up on, and how Z and I navigated sharing this surprise with our families. I open up about what it was like meeting each other's loved ones, revealing our good news, and experiencing the warmth, support, and beautiful chaos that came with it. I'm also getting real about the not-so-glamorous side of pregnancy: • the fears and anxieties that hit me the second the reality sank in • the doubts that come with stepping into a role I never thought I'd have • the physical symptoms that have knocked me off my routine • the mental and emotional roller coaster of accepting a brand-new version of my future Most importantly, I'm talking about how I plan to move through this season with grace, honesty, vulnerability—and a whole lot of self-compassion. This isn't just a story about pregnancy; it's about surrendering, trusting yourself, and finding strength in the middle of uncertainty. If you've ever faced a life change you didn't see coming, or questioned whether you were ready for the next chapter life handed you, this episode is for you.

Scrubs and Subpoenas: Documentation Dilemmas - Plot TwistSUMMARY: Scrubs and Subpoenas: Documentation Dilemmas is a podcast bundle that explores the critical role of documentation in healthcare and its impact on patient safety and malpractice claims. Through real-life stories of medical errors and malpractice cases, this series provides insights into the consequences of inadequate documentation and the steps needed to improve practices. Each episode serves as a cautionary tale and a guide to fostering a culture of accountability, empathy, and excellence in healthcare. A brief stay in a county correctional facility led to the sudden and mysterious death of a young inmate. While many questions around this fatality remain unanswered, solid documentation by attending nursing staff was a strong defense in court. In this episode, Dr. Sally K. Miller recounts her expert testimony from this emotionally charged case, including pushback from an unqualified consulting physician and uncertainty around a definitive cause of death. Listen in to learn how important the little details are when interacting with federal entities and patients in mental health crisis. ---Nurses may be able to complete an accredited CE activity featuring content from this podcast and earn CE hours provided from Elite Learning by Colibri Healthcare.

There are so many times as teachers when we realize we're the ones doing all the heavy lifting during our lessons—talking, thinking, and writing—while our students sit back and watch. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Student engagement isn't something that happens automatically, even with a great lesson plan. In this episode, I'm unpacking what it really means to plan for engagement and why it's essential to build intentional opportunities for students to think, respond, and connect throughout every lesson.I share a handful of simple engagement routines that can transform the way your students interact with your lessons. These routines—like the classic think-pair-share, agree/disagree statements, two-sentence responses, and three-two-one reflections—don't require fancy materials or major prep. Instead, they're flexible structures that you can use in any subject to spark thinking, encourage participation, and give every student a voice in your classroom.By the end of this episode, you'll see how easy it can be to plan for engagement and keep your students actively involved all lesson long. My challenge for you this week is to choose one engagement routine and try it out. Start small, stay intentional, and watch how your students' focus, confidence, and comprehension grow. Click play to discover how small, intentional changes can make a big difference in how your students show up and engage during lessons.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

I feel honoured to share this third conversation with Jannine Gearon who I interviewed before in May and June this year. Jannine lives with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) - a rare and aggressive cancer with very confronting statistics. In our previous two episodes, she bravely shared her journey, including her decision to explore voluntary assisted dying (VAD) as a way of reclaiming a sense of choice amidst pain and uncertainty. Today, there's a plot twist. A newly available targeted drug, found by her sister at what felt like the literal 11th hour, has begun changing the trajectory of her disease. Her latest scan and bloods show things are not progressing as expected - in the best possible way. As Jannine says, “the cancer is not behaving as it should,” and her oncologist is now cautiously optimistic. May this episode entangle in the quantum field with the exact people who are meant to hear it, and create beautiful ripples in your life and the lives of those you love.
In this episode, we break down The Sixth Sense — M. Night Shyamalan's psychological thriller that delivered one of the most iconic twists in movie history. We explore how the film subtly reveals its ending without giving it away, analyze the performances of Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, and discuss how Shyamalan's direction and symbolism create an atmosphere of mystery and emotion. From the red color motif to the haunting tone, we uncover how The Sixth Sense uses misdirection and emotion to tell a story that's both chilling and heartbreaking.

Success Is a test that will tempt you to forget everything you learned in the school of hard knocks. Success is a test that will threatened who you have become and challenge you whether life's lessons created within you superficial change or lasting transformation. Quite literally, success can cause you to forget who you are. Pastor Austin challenges us in this sermon… How do we react when things are going well? How did Joesph react?

In this episode of She Wolf Alchemy, Ress takes us on a deep dive into the quiet prisons we build in the name of safety. She unpacks how survival mode can trick us into believing that control equals security ; when in truth, it often keeps us small, tense, and disconnected.Through real, relatable examples like overworking because we don't trust rest, being hyper-independent to avoid disappointment, or shutting down emotionally to feel safe, Ress invites listeners to pause and reflect: Are the structures in your life protecting you, or are they caging you?This conversation is both grounding and liberating . A reminder that emotional safety isn't found in rigid control, but in trust, softness, and connection. Ress challenges us to audit the personal “rules” we live by and to allow those structures to evolve as we do. She closes with a soulful call to action: Trust yourself. Let your life be a living, breathing structure .One that grows with you, not against you.
