Join host Jed Doherty on the Reading With Your Kids podcast for a heartwarming, history‑meets‑home episode featuring two wonderful picture book creators: Patricia Newman and Pooja Makhijani. First, Patricia introduces Beatrice and the Nightingale, a nonfiction picture book about Beatrice Harrison, a renowned English cellist whose garden duet with a wild nightingale became one of the earliest global nature broadcasts on BBC radio. Patricia and Jed explore how this magical moment of music, nature, and early technology captivated millions of listeners and why Beatrice is such a powerful civic and environmental role model for kids today. They also talk about teaching hope, gratitude, and connection to nature in a world filled with gloomy headlines. Then, Jed welcomes Pooja Makhijani, author of Bread Is Love, a cozy picture book about a family that bakes bread together every week. Pooja explains how a simple sourdough starter and weekly loaf became a beloved family ritual, and how bread connects culture, memory, and love. She and Jed share stories about cooking with kids, intergenerational families, and why the kitchen is one of the best places to bond with children. If you're looking for children's books that spark meaningful family conversations, inspire kids to care about the environment, or invite your family into the kitchen, this episode is for you. Discover new picture books for kids, learn the true story behind a famous nightingale broadcast, and get inspired to start your own reading and baking traditions at home.

Our hearts tell us we want to be outside, that we were created for nature…when it's warm and beautiful and sunny!I don't know about you, but I do find that when it's cold, rainy, snowing, or blowing, I tend to be grateful for my 4 walls, central heat, and mug of tea indoors.How can we change this paradigm in ourselves and in our culture where the outdoors is becoming less and less popular all the time?It doesn't happen by accident. To be intentional about outdoor and nature time, we have to be inspired. My guests today are the co-authors of a wonderful book about getting outdoors, Digging Into Nature: Outdoor Adventures for Happier and Healthier Kids, and they share research and physiology to remind us: Our kids need time outside.

Gurdeep receives a pleasant surprise, plus Pooja struggles with bribing her kids ....AND... if your dreams contain THIS there may be money coming your way!

High achievers often look confident from the outside while quietly running on fear, urgency, and the belief that their worth depends on never slipping up.   Leslie Randolph is joined by Pooja Venkatraman, an executive coach, former management consultant, and self-described recovered stressed-out high achiever, to unpack a pattern many confident teens and confident women recognize but rarely question. Self-confidence becomes conditional. Perform well and it feels intact. Miss the mark and it starts to wobble. Grades, praise, titles, and approval quietly become proof of worth rather than outcomes of effort. Pooja explains why high-achievers often operate in fight-or-flight mode, where overworking, procrastination, freezing, and perfectionism make sense when the brain believes mistakes threaten belonging or value. These beliefs often form early and follow confident teens into adulthood, shaping confident women at work and at home.   The conversation offers a healthier framework for achievement and self-confidence rooted in flow rather than fear. Flow supports focused effort without panic, rest without guilt, and decisions without self-punishment. Instead of chasing confidence through constant performance, listeners are invited to rethink where self-confidence really comes from. What would change if it were a skill you could return to again and again, rather than something you had to earn through relentless achievement?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why High Achievers Struggle With Self-Confidence 08:15 Fight or Flight and the Hidden Cost of Perfectionism 15:10 Flow vs. Fear-Based Achievement 20:42 Why External Validation Never Creates Lasting Confidence 25:21 Mission-Driven Success Without Burnout 32:38 Shifting Out of Fight or Flight as a High Achiever Connect with Pooja Venkatraman: Learn More About Pooja's Work Connect with Pooja on IG Follow Pooja on LinkedIn Connect With Leslie: Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Knife crime in the UK has reached “national epidemic” levels, with 53,000 offences recorded in England and Wales in the year to March 2025. But how has this tragedy become so dangerously normalised, and what is the Labour government actually doing to tackle it?We look into the tragic killing of 16-year-old Ronan Kanda, who was murdered in 2022 with a ninja sword purchased online by two 17-year-olds in a case of mistaken identity.

For this special year-ender episode, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri and Manisha Pande and The News Minute's Dhanya Rajendran and Pooja Prasanna are joined by columnist and media critic Santosh Desai. The conversation begins with a wrap of the Indian media ecosystem this year. Santosh says, “Institutions are struggling to retain credibility and resist pressure.” Dhanya argues that mainstream media exerts significant influence over people, but on social media, the results vary. Discussing the state of the media more specifically in Karnataka, Pooja notes that although it's “heavily compromised”, it can still be seen as a “lesser evil” compared to the Hindi and English media.Manisha argues that, in terms of news consumption, the internet can be very ruthless – in contrast to legacy media, which does not have to face the crash and burn. She cites the example of Beer Biceps, whose rapid rise and fall illustrate this ruthlessness. Some influencers, Dhanya says, have also realised that “credibility comes with consistency”. On the economic front, Abhinandan explains, “It is the lethargy of legacy media that is reflected in their belief about how business is done – in large spaces and studios. Hence, sustainability and viewership become two completely different things.”The panel also discusses advertisements that make them nostalgic. Dhanya says, “Now, we pay to remove ads. I cannot remember the last time I watched an ad.” Meanwhile, Abhinandan notes, “The death of ads is the death of jingles, which in turn traces to the death of radio.”While discussing Arnab Goswami's recent shows that questioned the central government, Pooja remarks, “This man can damage the country by stooping so low, but all it takes for him to be viewed as a crusader is the targeting of a soft issue as a larger strategy.”This and a lot more.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Pooja M. Phull, MD, a hematologist/oncologist at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, about emerging insights into the gut microbiome and its clinical relevance in multiple myeloma. Dr Phull discussed how microbial composition—particularly the presence of butyrate-producing bacteria—may influence therapeutic responsiveness, sustained minimal residual disease negativity, and long-term outcomes for patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. In our exclusive interview, Dr Phull reviewed findings from a translational study that longitudinally profiled the fecal microbiome of patients with newly diagnosed myeloma, highlighting the significant post-transplant depletion of beneficial short-chain, fatty acid–producing organisms and its association with inferior progression-free survival. She also outlined supportive laboratory and in vivo data demonstrating the antitumor effects of butyrate and discussed how microbiome profiling may serve as both a predictive biomarker and a potential therapeutic target. Additionally, Dr Phull explored how dietary patterns, lifestyle factors, and antibiotic stewardship may contribute to preserving gut microbial health, and she emphasized the growing need for prospective studies to clarify how these interventions could enhance treatment outcomes for patients with active myeloma and precursor conditions such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering myeloma.

For Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc's final episode recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth show, they welcome two visionary leaders from Tapestry, the global house of brands that includes Coach and Kate Spade: Pooja Chandiramani, VP Global Media Strategy & Planning, Marketing Analytics, Operations and Transformation, and Avinash Kaushik, Brand Strategy & Marketing Transformation.Pooja and Avinash unpack Tapestry's ongoing transformation, which embeds analytics as a core pillar of brand growth. For Coach in particular, analytics isn't just incremental—it's a complete transformation journey. By using data to generate insights that directly drive business impact, Tapestry ensures marketing investments are accountable, measurable, and tied to outcomes.Avinash, a globally recognized thought leader and author, explains how Tapestry embraces intent-centric marketing to connect authentically with consumers. Moving beyond the outdated “accessible luxury” positioning, the company has shifted toward "expressive luxury"—a modern framework that reflects values-driven, authentic consumer engagement, particularly resonant with younger audiences.The conversation dives into the cultural foundations necessary for analytics to thrive. Avinash emphasizes that “culture is more important than data,” crediting Tapestry's CEO Joanne Crevoiserat and senior leadership for creating an environment where data can challenge assumptions and guide decisions. This culture enables bold experiments, including measuring the incrementality of brand marketing—one of the toughest questions in retail.Pooja highlights how creative pre-testing has become a critical unlock. By partnering with Human Made Machine, Tapestry tests campaigns with real audiences before investing media spend. This approach ensures that creative—responsible for up to 70% of marketing impact—delivers measurable results in driving brand awareness and incremental sales. It's a cultural shift, moving from subjective opinions about creative to decisions grounded in data.The episode also explores the role of AI and machine learning in accelerating agility, simplifying decision-making frameworks, and enabling global scalability. Both leaders stress that outcomes-based planning—rather than activity-based planning—keeps Tapestry aligned with its ambitious growth goals.  About UsJennifer MarloHead of Content, CommerceNextJennifer Marlo drives industry-leading programming at CommerceNext, drawing on experience from Ascendant Network and iMedia Connection, where she spearheaded content strategies to inspire retail, brand and agency marketing leaders.

She breaks down exactly how she approached it, what she created, and why auditors without a tech background should feel empowered to start experimenting.   Finally, Ajay R., Internal Audit Manager at Snowflake, walks through additional AI and data analytics use cases their team has implemented, highlighting what's possible when internal audit fully leverages Snowflake's capabilities.   Also, be sure to follow us on our social media accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.   Also be sure to sign up for The Audit Podcast newsletter and to check the full video interview on The Audit Podcast YouTube channel.   Timecodes:   4:38 - Snowflake: Team Introductions 14:08 - Leveraging Data Analytics for ITGCs 20:07 - Testing Termination Controls 24:16 - Strengthening Collaboration Between Internal and External Audit 27:46 - How AI Is Shaping Resources and Hiring 30:17 - Final Thoughts   *   This podcast is brought to you by Greenskies Analytics, the services firm that helps auditors leap-frog up the analytics maturity model.
