In this episode, I spoke with Patrick McGilligan who was one of the editors of the book "Sydney Pollack: Collected Interviews". Sydney Pollack was a true actor's director―a filmmaker who came up through the ranks, starting as a bit-part TV performer before turning to directing. From his debut feature The Slender Thread (1965) to his final film, The Interpreter (2005), Pollack built a reputation for intelligent, emotionally resonant storytelling.

Steven Delay returns to our Surveillance Cinema series for a discussion of Sydney Pollack's 1993 legal thriller The Firm, starring Tom Cruise. We first spend some time on Pollack's background, including his established Mossad connections and the themes of his 1975 paranoid spy thriller Three Days of the Condor, which had significant CIA involvement in its production. The Firm turns out to be largely a misdirection op, depicting a white shoe law firm as running interference for the mafia (a favorite Hollywood scapegoat) rather than for the deep state. We also talk about themes of demoralization, subversion of traditional social values, and the movie's significant Masonic/occult symbolism.This conversation was recorded in April but personal circumstances took us away from the podcast for a couple months. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4https://stevendelay.com/If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out the research anthology series Cultural Engineering Studies.

Michael Pollack, professor of law at Cardozo School of Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, associate professor of law at Emory University, and was edited by Tanya Eathakotti, a law student at Emory University.

The BFG Podcast leans into the summer season this episode, with a heap of praise for one of the two surprise horror hits that have changed Hollywood forever (again). Host Neal Pollack and contributor Daniel Aaron break open their wish and have nothing but good things to say about the low-budget hit Obsession. It's the ultimate howl of Gen Z relationship agony, featuring a star-making turn from Inde Navarrette and a cavalcade of gory bad relationship decisions. An absolute classic that comes out of nowhere.Stephen Garrett, on the other hand, comes straight from France, to report on a starless Cannes Festival, where studios spent millions of dollars to distribute films that you'll probably never see. That doesn't stop him from seeing them, though, and if you want to know everything that's going on in cinema, we advise you to give Stephen a listen. Pollack hasn't left his house in months, so you and he can virtually go to France, courtesy of Stephen, together.We take that back, Neal did leave the house. Unfortunately, it was to see The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie that might just be the lightsaber into the gut that kills the Star Wars franchise once and for all. Editor-in-chief Dan Friedman stops by the Pod Dome to talk to Neal about this two-hour action sequence that introduces us to the lamest Star Wars character since Jar Jar Binks. We're talking about Rotta the Hutt, Jabba's son, who's more jacked than Clavicular but talks like a laid-back skater bro, courtesy of an all-time bad vocal performance from Jeremy Allen White. April Fool's came early this year, or maybe late, depending on how you look at it.Enjoy the show, and shield your eyes. Summer movie season is here.

A sidewalk isn't just a strip of asphalt; it's a place where countless laws collide, whether they're governing our movement, our safety, our right to free speech, our economy, or even just who's responsible for shoveling after a snow storm. But most communities don't have a single agency that manages all these competing concerns — and maybe it's time they create one.  Today on The Brake, we interview sidewalk law expert Michael Pollack about his new book "Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource." And in that book, he untangles the dense web of policies that shape our pedestrian spaces, which might just change the way you look at sidewalks forever. 

Amanda Pollack (ACE) joins Filmmaker Mixer to discuss her work editing critically acclaimed series like The Americans, The Good Fight, and Palm Royale. With a background rooted in music and rhythm, Amanda shares how she shapes performances, tension, and story in the edit.In this episode, filmmakers will learn how editorial rhythm impacts storytelling, how to collaborate with directors, and how to evolve your craft across genres and long-running series. A must-watch for editors and storytellers looking to deepen their understanding of post-production.

It's claimed new fishing laws coming into effect next month will be detrimental for Clare's coastal economies. From June 1st, The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Marine is introducing legislation which will limit anglers to catching just three pollacks per day. It follows a warning from The International Council for Exploration of the Sea which indicates that pollack stocks in Irish waters are at critically low levels and that fishing needs to be temporarily restricted. Carrigaholt based Chair of the Irish Charter Skippers Association Luke Aston says it's already impacting local business. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by the Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with special responsibility for Fisheries, Timmy Dooley.

David Pollack was a first-round NFL draft pick living his childhood dream when a broken neck in his second season ended everything — and he says it was the best thing that ever happened to his faith. The forced stillness he'd never allowed himself finally let him hear from God. Then in 2025, his wife Lindsay was diagnosed with brain cancer, and Pollack discovered that watching someone you love suffer is a completely different test than suffering yourself. He joins Brian From to talk about his new book Every Day Counts, what football taught him about failing forward in faith, and the three R's — reflect, repent, repurpose — that transformed his prayer life from awkward obligation to actual conversation. He also makes a point that lands hard: you have to be selfish in the morning so you can be selfless the rest of the day. If God matters, get up earlier. Plus a college football bonus — David weighs in on Michigan, Illinois, Bryce Underwood, and what he's watching heading into the season. A genuinely fun, genuinely convicting hour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of De Donkere Kamer Podcast, I speak with curator and visual editor Kira Pollack, former director of photography at TIME and former deputy editor at Vanity Fair.We talk about the power of images, not only in how they are made, but in how they are seen, shared and remembered. Kira reflects on her years at TIME, where she helped shape some of the magazine's most influential visual stories, and on what it means to work with photographers like Nadav Kander, James Nachtwey and many others.The conversation also moves into the present. As a 2025 Walter Shorenstein Media in Democracy Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, Kira is researching how AI can help us understand visual archives, protect authorship and make unseen photographic histories more discoverable.We speak about visual literacy, trust, archives, the changing role of photojournalism and this year's World Press Photo Award, where Kira served as jury chair.A conversation about influence, responsibility and why photography still carries so much weight, especially now.On August 27 at 4 PM CEST, we welcome World Press Photo winner Ebrahim Alipor for an online masterclass about building visual stories without access, budget or institutional support.Tickets are €25 and you can ask Ebrahim your personal questions.

Drew & Garden System chat with Jaime Pollack, founder of An Infinite Mind, to discuss her discovery of multiplicity, getting a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder, and her incredible healing journey that led to the creation of An Infinite Mind and the formation of the Healing Together conference. Jaime Pollack lives in Central Florida where she works as a district Pre-K special education resource teacher. She also works part-time as an in-home early interventionist for special needs children aged birth to three. In 2005, she was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) resulting from childhood trauma. Jaime searched for support only to find there were very limited resources available. Her efforts to find support for herself led her to seek out other survivors living with the disorder. As she found others living with DID, she witnessed firsthand the challenges they shared and decided to shift her focus to help others, like herself, living with DID. Her passion to help others led to the creation of An Infinite Mind in January of 2008. Thank you to our sponsors:An Infinite MindHealing Selves TherapeuticsFollow us on Instagram: @acoupleofmultiples, @note_to_selves, @seidi_gardensystemFollow us on TikTok: @seidi_gardensystem, @note_to_selvesFollow us on Facebook: A Couple of Multiples - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556823127239 Visit our website: acoupleofmultiples.com to sign up for our mailing list, join our private, on-line community Hearts Multiplied, register for peer coaching, consultations, and workshops!Remember, this podcast is not a substitute for therapy.

Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades. From her own childhood, to the classroom, to being a parent of three and grandparent to seven, she's perfectly positioned to write her coming-of-age book series based on a mischievous young girl, Jillian Kramer, who everyone calls Jelly Bean. After 60 years of occasionally working on her Jelly Bean books, Amy took advantage of the Covid pandemic to finish them.The series began with The Adventures of Jelly Bean, which first came to Amy when her fourth-grade teacher asked her to get up in front of the class and tell stories about Jelly Bean, which she would make up as she went along. Several years later she began writing down the Jelly Bean stories, and would work on them periodically in any free time she had during her teaching career and while raising her three children.The second in the series, The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, was followed up by The Still Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, which I've read. It's a charming take on the emotional challenges confronting Jelly Bean as she tries to navigate through the relentless turmoil of growing up.  She tries to work out relationships with her friends, her parents, her older brothers, and her uncle among others. Jelly Bean's parents don't want her best friend, who is of mixed race, to visit. Another friend is anorexic. One brother drops out of school. A grandparent dies. In other words, it's about the struggles many young girls face as they grow up.Amy earned advanced degrees from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and NYU. For six years Amy was a professor of writing, and a teacher in the tutoring center at Montclair State University.

In this powerful episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen sit down with Marina Morgan, a professional singer, songwriter, real estate agent, and Lyme disease survivor from New York and New Jersey. Marina shares the deeply personal story of how a vibrant, high-energy young woman who loved running, fitness, and music suddenly found her life turned upside down by Lyme disease in her early twenties. What began as stomach issues quickly progressed into neurological symptoms, extreme fatigue, balance problems, and ultimately sudden vision loss in one eye — a terrifying turning point that led to her eventual diagnosis. After seeing multiple doctors and facing potential misdiagnoses such as multiple sclerosis and scleroderma, Marina was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease through a Western Blot test by Dr. Pollack. Her treatment included 18 months of IV antibiotics through a PICC line, followed by another year of treatment after a later flare-up. Today, Marina continues to navigate chronic Lyme symptoms while building a career in music, real estate, and fitness, demonstrating resilience, perseverance, and determination even on difficult days. Her story is a powerful reminder that Lyme disease can affect anyone — even young, healthy, active people — and that persistence, positivity, and support are essential in the healing journey. About Marina Morgan Marina Morgan is a professional singer and songwriter who has appeared on the Today Show, was named Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month, and has been featured on iHeartRadio and in multiple publications as an emerging artist. In addition to her music career, Marina works as a real estate agent serving New York and New Jersey and as a gym manager, continuing to stay connected to the world of fitness despite the physical challenges created by Lyme disease. Marina has also used her music to express the realities of chronic illness. Her song “Paralyzed” captures the emotional and physical struggle many Lyme patients face when their bodies no longer cooperate with the life they once lived. Watch Marina's Lyme-inspired music video “Paralyzed”:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JT2lJDwd6I Follow Marina on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/themarinamorgan Key Topics Discussed in This Episode Life Before Lyme Disease Before getting sick, Marina lived an extremely active lifestyle. She ran miles every day simply for enjoyment, maintained multiple jobs, and had a vibrant social life. Fitness and movement were central to her identity, and she describes having seemingly endless energy. Lyme disease dramatically altered that reality. Early Symptoms and Sudden Vision Loss Marina's illness began subtly with stomach issues and fatigue, but symptoms soon escalated. She began experiencing: Severe fatigue Weakness in her legs Balance and coordination issues Neurological symptoms Brain fog Loss of vision in one eye The sudden vision loss was the turning point that signaled something much more serious was happening. Misdiagnosis and the Search for Answers Before receiving a Lyme diagnosis, doctors suspected conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and scleroderma. Marina visited several doctors and specialists before finally receiving the correct diagnosis. Her father, who had previously experienced Lyme disease himself, recognized the possibility and helped advocate for Lyme testing. She was ultimately diagnosed at age 23 through a Western Blot blood test by Dr. Pollack. Intensive Lyme Treatment Following her diagnosis, Marina underwent 18 months of intravenous antibiotic treatment through a PICC line, one of the more aggressive approaches used for severe Lyme disease. Years later, after experiencing a flare-up, she required another year of treatment. Today she is not undergoing active Lyme treatment but continues supportive wellness practices including: Infrared sauna Yoga Probiotics Living with Chronic Lyme Marina estimates she has recovered to about 60% of her pre-Lyme health. The most persistent symptom she continues to battle is extreme fatigue, which can make even simple daily activities exhausting. She describes the unpredictability of chronic Lyme — how a good day can be followed by days or weeks of exhaustion. Despite these challenges, Marina continues to work, maintain relationships, and pursue her passions. Music as a Voice for Lyme Patients Marina has channeled her experience with chronic illness into her music. Her song “Paralyzed” captures the emotional reality of Lyme disease — the feeling of being trapped in a body that no longer functions the way it once did. The song resonates deeply with Lyme patients and others living with invisible illness. Watch the video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JT2lJDwd6I Advice for People Fighting Lyme Disease Marina encourages patients not to give up during the darkest moments of illness. Lyme disease can be physically and emotionally overwhelming, but maintaining hope and continuing to pursue healing strategies can make a meaningful difference. She stresses the importance of: Listening to your body Giving yourself grace Staying mentally resilient Continuing to search for solutions Key Takeaways Lyme disease can affect young, healthy, highly active people Neurological symptoms like vision loss can occur with Lyme disease Misdiagnosis is common in complex Lyme cases Long-term IV antibiotic treatment is sometimes required Chronic symptoms can persist even after treatment Mental resilience plays a major role in managing chronic illness Connect with Marina Morgan Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themarinamorgan Watch her Lyme-inspired song “Paralyzed”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JT2lJDwd6I

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Maximilian (Max) Pollack—a Cognitive Performance Specialist supporting U.S. Special Operations—to explore what it truly takes to think clearly, stay composed, and execute under extreme pressure. Drawing from his work with elite military operators, Max shares a powerful perspective: high performance isn't just about toughness—it's about training your mind and body to work together when it matters most. His expertise sits at the intersection of psychology, physiology, and performance, helping individuals regulate stress, sharpen attention, and make better decisions in high-stakes environments. Throughout the conversation, Max introduces the concept of being "introspective about your perspective," and explains how elite performers build awareness, control their internal state, and lead their thinking—especially when everything around them feels chaotic. He breaks down what separates the mentally elite from others, highlighting the importance of emotional regulation, intentional self-talk, and the ability to downshift in moments of intensity. You'll also hear practical tools you can apply immediately—including breathing techniques for rapid regulation, the role of biofeedback in building awareness, and how to "be the commander of your brain" through intentional self-talk. Max emphasizes that lessons are everywhere—if you're willing to reflect, learn, and apply them. This episode is a masterclass in cognitive performance—showing you how to build clarity, confidence, and control so you can perform at your best, especially when the pressure is highest. You'll Learn: • What separates mentally elite performers in high-stakes environments • How to regulate stress and stay composed under pressure • The power of "introspective about your perspective" • A simple breathing tool to downshift and regain control • How imagery and biofeedback can enhance performance • Why self-talk is critical—and how to "command your brain" • One key strategy to perform more consistently when it matters most Episode Resources & Links Watch the Mental Performance Summit: https://mentalperformancesummit.org/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Download the National Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with a Mentally Strong Coach: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Follow Max on LinkedIn: Maximilian Pollack, CMPC, BCB | LinkedIn

Unknown Broadcast slips once more into the Weekly Spooky feed with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, ghostly encounters, occult dread, and fatal justice. This week's transmission moves from a war-haunted tavern to strange magic, from death-shadowed streets to a whispered tale of punishment waiting in the dark.

In this episode of Better Edge, Oncologist Seth M. Pollack, MD, discusses the evolving treatment landscape for leiomyosarcoma and highlights clinical trial data recently published in The Lancet Oncology. Dr. Pollack was co-author on the study, which evaluated the combination of cabozantinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with temozolomide in patients with refractory soft tissue sarcomas.  The conversation covers the biologic mechanisms underpinning this strategy, trial design and outcomes, and how the trial's findings compare with existing systemic therapies. The discussion also emphasizes the value of referral to specialized sarcoma centers with multidisciplinary expertise and access to subtype specific clinical trials.

Was, wenn der Gottesglaube allmählich verdunstet? Wenn die Kirchen zu Eventlokalen mutieren? Der Religionssoziologe Detlef Pollack würde dies bedauern, obwohl er selbst nicht gläubig ist. Doch warum? Was verliert eine Gesellschaft, wenn sie den Glauben verliert? Auf Tiktok, Instagram und Youtube missionieren christliche und muslimische Influencer fleissig und sprechen vor allem ein junges Publikum an. Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel hält in Rom Vorträge über den «Antichristen». Donald Trump betet im Oval Office. Und in der Schweiz scheinen Freikirchen wieder an Zulauf zu gewinnen. Dennoch ist Detlef Pollack überzeugt: Der Gottesglaube ist auf dem Weg, in der Bedeutungslosigkeit zu versinken. Der renommierte Religionssoziologe forscht am Centrum für Religion und Moderne der Universität Münster und hat für die Neuauflage seines Buches «Religion in der Moderne» weltweite Daten zu Religiosität und Glauben zusammengetragen. Selbst im Iran und in den USA verlöre die Religion an Rückhalt. Wer nun meine, die Menschen kehrten der Religion den Rücken, fänden aber Zuflucht in alternativen Formen der Spiritualität wie Meditation, Yoga oder Schamanismus, liege ebenso falsch, sagt Pollack. Auch Spiritualität nehme weltweit ab. Beunruhigend oder eher befreiend? Barbara Bleisch fragt nach, ob etwas – und falls ja, was – fehlen würde, wenn die Menschheit ganz vom Glauben abfiele.

In this episode of Peacebuilding with Dr. Pollack, we challenge one of the most common misconceptions in the workplace: conflict itself isn't the problem—lack of training is. Dr. Jeremy Pollack explains how recurring tension is rarely about difficult people, but instead reflects a gap in conflict competency.Without a structured pathway for developing communication and de-escalation skills, everyday friction escalates into costly dysfunction. This episode reframes conflict as a skill-based issue and shows how the right training can transform workplace dynamics, strengthen trust, and improve organizational health.Dr. Pollack introduces the Peaceful Leaders Academy and walks through the core competencies that help individuals and teams navigate conflict with clarity and confidence.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why most workplace conflict stems from a lack of training not personality issues  What “conflict competency” means and why it's essential for modern teams  How structured learning prevents escalation and reduces workplace toxicity  The foundational communication tools every employee should understand  How to create sustainable, long-term improvements in team dynamics Core Skills Covered: Shared language for conflict to align team understanding  Recognizing escalation signals before tension intensifies  De-escalating listening to reduce defensiveness  Three-part assertion messaging for clear, respectful communication  Identifying underlying interests to move beyond surface-level positions Dr. Pollack also outlines a practical approach to embedding these skills into organizations: Discovery: Assess conflict patterns and risks  Customized Design: Build a tailored training strategy  Practical Delivery: Equip teams with real-world tools The outcome is measurable improvement in communication, morale, and relational health.

Jordan Pollack, biomedical engineer, entrepreneur and CEO of Sub-Q Bionics. Jordan began his career at Boston Scientific, later founded VeinWay in Israel and is now focused on building a new treatment paradigm for lymphoedema in cancer survivors.In this episode, we explore what actually creates momentum in MedTech, from networking with intent to building the resilience needed to survive the founder journey. Jordan shares why conferences alone rarely deliver results, how warm introductions and targeted roadshows outperform generic networking and what he had to unlearn after leaving corporate structure behind to become a startup CEO. He also offers a brutally honest take on entrepreneurship, explaining why the role is not for everyone and why persistence, resilience and equanimity matter more than titles or ambition alone.We also go deep into the story behind Sub-Q Bionics and why Jordan chose to focus on lymphoedema, particularly in women recovering from cancer treatment. He explains the clinical reality of the disease, the lack of meaningful treatment options beyond maintenance, and why reimbursement, not just good technology, is often the deciding factor in whether a device company succeeds. Along the way, he shares sharp insights on women's health being chronically underfunded, the differences between the U.S. and Israeli startup ecosystems, and why mission-led companies are far more likely to stay the course when things get hard.Timestamps[00:00:32] Why Generic Conferences Rarely Create Real MedTech Opportunity[00:02:05] How Networking Shaped Jordan's Move from Boston Scientific to Israel[00:03:29] What Corporate MedTech Taught Him and What He Had to Unlearn[00:05:54] Why Being a Founder Is Not for Everyone[00:08:49] The Origin of Sub-Q Bionics and the Shift Toward True Disease Treatment[00:11:53] What Lymphoedema Actually Is and Why It Is So Devastating[00:14:06] Why Women's Health Remains Underfunded and Where Innovation Is Emerging[00:18:25] Why Reimbursement Matters More Than Technology Alone[00:20:58] U.S. vs Israel: Two Very Different Startup Ecosystems[00:25:10] Balancing Founder Life, Health, Travel and RelationshipsConnect with Jordan - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-pollack-81464827/Learn more about Sub-Q Bionics - ⁠⁠https://subqbionics.com/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

In the most stunning return since MacArthur landed at Inchon, former Book and Film Globe editor Neal Pollack has come back with a new episode of the beloved Book and Film Globe podcast. Pollack welcomes back the Sancho Panza to his Don Quixote, chief film critic Stephen Garrett, so they can preview this weekend's Oscars together.In surgical fashion, they whittle the list of 10 Best Picture nominees down to five that really matter: One Battle After Another, Sinners, Bugonia, Hamnet, and Marty Supreme, analyze the good and bad of each, and, as they're wont to do, solve all the world's problems in a mere 25 minutes. No one loves movies more than Stephen and Neal do, which is why we love them.They did not, however, love The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal's bizarre reinterpretation of the Frankenstein mythos. Jessie Buckley may win the Oscar this year. But she's going to win a Razzie next year. The Bride! is an all-time turkey. BFG likes to be on the right side of history.Enjoy the show! Hopefully there will be more.[ED'S NOTE: The Holocaust story from Marty Supreme is actually based in fact]

What happens when survivors of domestic violence and coercive control enter family court isn't just anecdotal — it's documented, researched, and deeply concerning.In this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, Sybil is joined by Joan S. Meier, Professor of Clinical Law at George Washington University Law School and founder of the National Family Violence Law Center, and Danielle Pollack, Policy Manager at the Center, to unpack what decades of research and policy work reveal about how family courts respond to abuse allegations — and why so many protective parents feel disbelieved, punished, or silenced.Together, they explore how concepts like parental alienation are frequently weaponized against survivors, how unregulated reunification programs put children at risk, and what policy efforts like Kayden's Law are doing to change the system. This conversation also speaks directly to therapists, advocates, and professionals, offering insight into how research can inform ethical practice, advocacy, and trauma-informed testimony.NSPO: https://www.nationalsafeparents.org/ About the GuestsJoan S.

In this episode, host George Duran sits down with entrepreneur and baker Dana Pollack for a wide-ranging conversation that bridges the worlds of the seafood industry, baking, and modern food culture.Dana shares her perspective on the rise of “digital food” and how today's consumers are increasingly buying with their eyes first, driven by bold colors, flavors, and viral food trends that continue to shape food entrepreneurship and product innovation. She opens up about the pressures of scaling a food business and expanding her Long Island facility, explaining why she thrives under pressure and how growth and stress often go hand in hand in food production at scale.The conversation turns to Dana's recent visit to the Ducktrap facility in Belfast, Maine—a standout example of artisan food production within the premium smoked salmon category. From the moment she walked in and smelled what she jokingly calls “smoky goodness,” Dana was struck by the tight-knit culture, hands-on craftsmanship, and rigorous seafood quality control standards. She experienced every step of the process firsthand—spending time across the floor from handling fish to packing boxes, gaining firsthand insight into how a specialty seafood brand can scale production without sacrificing quality.George and Dana also explore the parallels between seafood and baked goods when it comes to food safety, packaging, preservation, and perishable food shipping, highlighting why temperature control, materials, and processes are critical across the seafood supply chain. Dana shares her experience participating in Ducktrap's daily tastings, where team members from every department sample the salmon to ensure consistency and excellence in every batch.Plus, Dana reveals her favorite Ducktrap product, creative smoked salmon recipe ideas like an everything-bagel macaron, and why premium smoked salmon is ideal for entertaining and at-home chefs. The episode wraps with reflections on place, craftsmanship, and why certain foods—like Ducktrap salmon or New York pizza—can't be replicated anywhere else.

In the early summer of 1984, seventeen-year-old Gary Lauwers was murdered by his friend Richard “Ricky” Kasso in the small Long Island suburb of Northport, New York. Lauwers was stabbed more than thirty times in the attack and his body showed signs of what appeared to be torture. The death itself was shocking to the tiny community of Northport, but the details that emerged in the wake of Kasso's arrest would shock the entire nation.ReferencesBreskin, Davkd. 1984.

This Day in Legal History: January 6 InsurrectionOn January 6, 2021, a significant and unprecedented legal and constitutional crisis unfolded in the United States. As a joint session of Congress convened to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election, a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The attack followed weeks of false claims about election fraud and a rally earlier that day in which Trump urged his supporters to “fight like hell.” The violent breach forced lawmakers to evacuate, delayed the certification of Joe Biden's victory, and resulted in deaths, injuries, and extensive property damage.Legally, the event triggered a cascade of consequences. Hundreds of participants were arrested and charged with offenses ranging from unlawful entry and assaulting federal officers to seditious conspiracy. High-profile members of far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were prosecuted, with some leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy, a Civil War-era charge rarely used in modern times. The attack also led to Trump's second impeachment, the first time in U.S. history a president was impeached twice. He was charged with incitement of insurrection, although the Senate ultimately acquitted him.In the broader legal aftermath, January 6 prompted legislative and judicial scrutiny of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, with Congress passing reforms in 2022 to clarify the vice president's limited role in certifying election results. The attack also raised questions about the limits of First Amendment protections when political speech turns into violent action, and about the potential disqualification from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits insurrectionists from holding public office.Barry Pollack, the U.S. attorney best known for securing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's release deal, is now representing Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in a high-profile U.S. narcotics case. Maduro, who was captured in a U.S. military operation along with his wife, pleaded not guilty this week in a Manhattan federal court to charges of leading a cocaine trafficking conspiracy involving guerrilla groups and drug cartels. Pollack plans to challenge the legality of Maduro's capture—calling it a “military abduction”—and is also expected to raise arguments about foreign leader immunity.These arguments face steep legal obstacles. The U.S. no longer recognizes Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate president, having rejected the results of his 2018 re-election. Furthermore, U.S. courts have historically been reluctant to dismiss cases based on how a defendant was brought to U.S. soil. Still, Pollack's involvement signals a serious defense strategy grounded in international legal questions and executive immunity claims.Pollack's experience with politically charged and internationally sensitive cases is extensive. He recently helped negotiate Assange's release from a British prison through a plea deal that allowed the WikiLeaks founder to avoid U.S. imprisonment and return to Australia. His track record also includes work on behalf of a former CIA officer and an acquitted Enron executive.Assange's lawyer Barry Pollack to fight Maduro's US narcotics charges | ReutersWith a new Republican majority appointed by President Donald Trump, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is expected to shift sharply away from pro-union policies that defined its recent Democratic era. After nearly a year of paralysis caused by Trump's unprecedented firing of Democrat Gwynne Wilcox—leaving the board without the quorum needed to issue decisions—the Senate confirmed two Republican nominees in December 2025, restoring its ability to act and giving conservatives control of the five-member board for the first time since 2021.Key Biden-era decisions are now vulnerable to rollback. These include expanded union rights such as representation without secret-ballot elections, bans on mandatory anti-union employer meetings, and broader remedies for fired workers. Critics say these moves strayed from precedent; federal courts are reviewing them, but outcomes will vary by jurisdiction unless the Supreme Court weighs in.Union election rules are also likely to change. Under Biden, the NLRB accelerated the election process and made it harder for decertification efforts to proceed—moves unions supported to counter employer delays. Republicans are expected to reverse these rules, potentially making it easier to dissolve existing unions.The board's political independence is also under scrutiny. A court recently upheld Trump's removal of Wilcox, challenging legal protections meant to shield NLRB members from dismissal without cause. If the Supreme Court supports similar arguments in upcoming cases, the NLRB's structural independence could be weakened, raising concerns about politicization and fairness in labor adjudications.Meanwhile, lawsuits by major companies like Amazon and SpaceX are targeting the board's role as both prosecutor and judge in its own cases, claiming constitutional violations. If courts side with these challengers, it could force Congress to restructure the agency—perhaps by limiting its powers or shifting cases to federal courts.NLRB poised for major policy shifts in 2026 with new Trump-appointed majority | ReutersWisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan resigned following her conviction for obstructing the arrest of a migrant in her courtroom, a case that became entangled in broader national tensions over immigration enforcement. Dugan, elected to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2016, was found guilty in December 2025 of helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national facing domestic violence charges, evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who were present at the courthouse. She had denied wrongdoing, claiming she followed a courthouse policy requiring staff to notify supervisors of ICE's presence.Her conviction drew sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers, with some calling for impeachment, especially as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to crack down on local interference with federal immigration policy. Dugan had been suspended from her judicial duties during the legal proceedings. Prosecutors framed the case as a warning that public officials are not above the law, highlighting the Justice Department's willingness to pursue charges against judges who obstruct federal enforcement actions.Before serving as a judge, Dugan led a local Catholic Charities chapter that provided refugee resettlement services. Her background and the nature of the charges underscored the ongoing conflict between local protections for immigrants and federal efforts to expand deportations.Wisconsin judge resigns after being convicted of obstructing migrant arrest | ReutersMy column this week is on a novel cruise tax. Hawaii's attempt to expand its transient accommodations tax to include cruise ship passengers hit a temporary roadblock when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a New Year's Eve stay, pausing enforcement of the new “green fee.” The law, which took effect January 1, aims to place cruise cabins on equal tax footing with hotels by imposing an 11% tax on the portion of a cruise fare linked to overnight stays while docked in Hawaiian ports. Hawaii argues this is a general, nondiscriminatory tax on short-term lodging rather than a fee tied to the ship itself. To bolster its legal case, the state is framing cruise cabins as equivalent to hotel rooms, and emphasizing that the tax is based on services consumed on land, not the ship's movement or port access.The cruise industry, however, contends the tax violates the Constitution's Tonnage Clause, which prohibits states from levying duties on ships for merely entering or staying in port. They've also invoked the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1884, which restricts port-related charges not linked to specific services. But Hawaii's defense is that the tax is not about access or vessel status—it is a consumption tax on guests staying overnight, regardless of whether the bed is on land or in a moored ship. The policy avoids targeting ships and instead captures revenue from tourism, aligning maritime and land-based lodging under a consistent legal framework.The Department of Justice has joined the cruise industry's challenge, suggesting the issue's seriousness. If litigation continues, the U.S. Supreme Court may ultimately decide whether this tax model is constitutionally sound. Still, Hawaii's approach—drafting a neutral, consumption-based tax rather than a maritime-specific charge—may serve as a blueprint for other coastal states looking to tap into cruise tourism revenue without triggering constitutional violations.

The book was recently named one of NPR's Books We Loved for 2025. Pollack-Pelzner is a cultural historian, theater critic, and teacher at Portland State University, whose writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times. Pollack-Pelzner's biography offers a captivating exploration of Miranda's artistic journey—from a sensitive child in Manhattan's Washington Heights to the visionary creator of Hamilton whose voice has reshaped musical theater and popular culture. This book captures a living artist in motion, weaving together countless threads of collaboration, cultural synthesis, and personal revelation that define Miranda's work. In our conversation, we focus on the challenge of writing biography itself. How does a scholar and critic approach the story of someone whose art feels both deeply personal and expansively historical? How does one trace the education of an artist who learned not in isolation, but through community, heritage, and creative exchange? Pollack-Pelzner guides us through these questions with the grace of a storyteller and the precision of a historian, drawing on unparalleled access to Miranda's inner circle and his own interviews with the artist. This is a book about how an artist finds his voice, and a conversation about how a biographer finds the shape of a life.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today I'm joined by my friend and returning guest George Wiseman, who last appeared in Episode 141 sharing his extraordinary origin story. This time, we take a more advanced dive into hydrogen medicine—specifically the differences between molecular hydrogen (H₂) and Brown's Gas, a unique blend containing hydrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and an electron-rich plasma known as EEW (electronically expanded water).George breaks down how Brown's Gas delivers not only molecular hydrogen but also bioavailable electrons—fuel your body uses to stop oxidative cascades, rebuild tissue, and restore cellular communication. We talk about why H₂ alone doesn't always create a perceptible effect, why Brown's Gas often does, and how these modalities play distinct roles in the ecosystem of healing tools.

In this conversation, Carl Jackson and his guest David Pollack talk about the complexities of voter behavior, particularly in relation to Donald Trump's appeal. He emphasizes that voting for Trump does not equate to a commitment to the Republican Party, highlighting how Trump resonates with middle America by addressing their concerns in a way that traditional Republicans do not. Pollack argues that understanding this dynamic is crucial for comprehending the current political landscape.

This week on the pod, we were joined by a Virginia mom named Andrea. For years, she thought she hated politics — she says it just seemed like a reason for “people to be mean to each other.” But as last year's election drew closer, she noticed that her friends and family weren't talking about it. Everyone said they were too exhausted after the first Trump presidency.Andrea understood the feeling (who isn't exhausted by Trump??), but she couldn't stand by and do nothing. So she started a TroubleNation group called NoVA Childless Cat Ladies. At first, all they did was write postcards, but she used those get-togethers to talk about their shared values and how they could support marginalized groups in their area. Now, a year later, Childless Cat Ladies has more than 100 members!It feels like we were just here — on the cusp of an election, not knowing which way things will go. If you're feeling a bit of PTSD, you're not alone. This year's elections are getting a lot less press and attention than 2024, but local elections are SO important. From the governor and attorney general of Virginia to school boards and mayors and ballot propositions across the country, we have the opportunity to protect our neighbors next Tuesday.  And, as a bonus, we can kick off a blue wave that'll take us through next year's midterms.If you want to join Red Wine & Blue and Heather Cox Richardson for a virtual Love America Rally on Wednesday 10/29 at 7:30pm ET, you can learn more and RSVP here. For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

As I wrap up with author Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, we have a first for the pod! A Patreon Peep is taking questions from his fellow Peeps! The deep dive continues as Daniel shares more stories that didn't make the book (Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist) and even tells us more details about things that *did* make the book. Plus, Daniel nerds out about Shakespeare, talks about his incredibly inspiring students and why "the future of the form is in good hands" (seriously, you will want to see these musicals YESTERDAY), and if you thought we were done talking about the nineties you have notttt been paying attention!

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, cultural omnivore and author of Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist, is back for round two and the deep dive continues! This week, Daniel tells us all about the time Stephen Sondheim visited Lin's high school dished the dirt about West Side Story with a room full of teenage theatre kids. That's where Lin learned that not even Sondheim nails it on the first try, and the messy process can lead to something even better than the original. That could be its own episode but hell no there's so much more going on this week! Among other things Daniel talks about what *he* learned while writing the book, the power of a great cliffhanger (seriously, you'll get chills!), and the importance of finding your field of other people in bee costumes. Ahem... I trust you'll understand the reference to the 90's lore without my having to name that tune. Plus, Daniel fills is in about his work on Mary Kathryn Nagle's upcoming (and currently untitled) documentary film on tribal consulting tribal sovereignty in law and theater, and the often-overlooked epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).
