EP36 – More Waffle, Same ProblemsWe continue into 2017 with another freshly unearthed episode from the When We Waffle archive — and once again, absolutely nothing useful is achieved.Ray Medallion returns with more from his increasingly questionable adventures, while Terry, Kat and Laurie wander through another collection of stories, observations, arguments and conversations that inevitably end up somewhere completely different from where they started.There's plenty of general waffle from the team, the usual diversions and nonsense, and another glimpse into what When We Waffle sounded like back in 2017 — before anyone had the good sense to stop us.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd. And there's plenty more to come — including brand-new When We Waffle later this year.Hosted by Terry Mynott, Katrina Fox and Laurie Peters.Produced, remastered, edited and published by Peters-Fox Ltd.Follow the show, tell a fellow waffler and come back Tuesday and Friday for another helping of When We Waffle.Instagram: instagram.com/whenwewaffle

We're back with a brand new series, and I'm so excited to share it. In each episode, we're unpacking the 5 nervous system states, uncovering why you're in each state, exploring the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with each state, and educating you on the separation between your personality and your nervous system. Today we're diving into fawn.

As our hormones and female physiology change, running a bit less and more strategic is essential to feel stronger, healthier, and even faster.Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Jen to look back on their four-month training cycle and share what happened when they reduced running mileage, focused more on the Breaking Through Wellness female-specific strength training and fitness methods, and stopped forcing their bodies to keep up with demanding race goals.One of their biggest lessons was once again learning to recognize a bioindividual “stress tipping point”, a science-backed theory that Louise teaches us to thrive through perimenopause. For example, more training is not always better, especially when sleep, recovery, hormones, hunger, mood, and body composition start to suffer. Louise shares how stepping away from half-marathon training helped improve her sleep, libido, strength, physique, recovery, and hormone markers while still allowing her to run faster. Jen also discovered that shorter runs brought her faster physique changes, more joy, improved energy, and made training easier to fit into her busy family life.They also discuss excessive cardio, hunger hormones, female-specific strength training, ditching social media pressure, and the empowering freedom that comes from changing goals without feeling like you failed.The takeaway is simple: your healthiest and most effective training plan looks a lot different in midlife as your hormones and female physiology change.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comBlog post mentioned in this episode, “Trying to find your sweet spot with running & fitness in perimenopause?

EP35 – New Year, Same Old WaffleIt's 2017 and the first When We Waffle of the new year — although absolutely nothing appears to have improved.There's plenty of chat from the team, Kat's Corner returns, and Laurie somehow gets onto George Michael, with a collection of increasingly unlikely stories: seeing him on a bus, a friend apparently spotting him playing the fruit machines at an amusement arcade, and another receiving some unexpected advice from George about where to buy cheaper Crocs. Are any of these stories actually true? We have absolutely no idea.Laurie's grandad inevitably finds his way back into the conversation, there are more ridiculous stories from Terry, Kat and Laurie, and Ray Medallion crops up once again to add his own particular brand of nonsense.It's another episode of conversations going nowhere, stories that probably shouldn't be believed and three people happily waffling their way through the beginning of 2017.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd. And there's plenty more to come — including brand-new When We Waffle later this year.Hosted by Terry Mynott, Katrina Fox and Laurie Peters.Produced, remastered, edited and published by Peters-Fox Ltd.Follow the show, tell a fellow waffler and come back Tuesday and Friday for another helping of When We Waffle.Instagram: instagram.com/whenwewaffle

385 – Is loving your enemies still relevant?One of the most challenging commandments Jesus has given us is to love our enemies. This was not a request nor a mere suggestion to follow through on only if we want to. It's not just a recommendation or advice. It's a command directly from Jesus's heart to yours and mine.But what is the point of loving someone who is mean to you, has abused you, and has done everything in their power to oppose you and what you stand for?Why on earth did Jesus want us to love our enemies?In this week's episode, that's exactly what we'll be talking about:Why Jesus wants us to love our enemiesHow to do itThe blessings that come when you doThink what would happen in the world today if all those who claim to be Christians actually obeyed Jesus's command to love your enemies. The whole world would feel the difference. The change would be immediate. Who do you need to love today?∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous blog post mentioned: Thoughts on Libya and Muammar QadaffiSHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/385Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Podcast Chapters 00:02 — The Midlife Advantage in Voiceover Why starting a voiceover career later in life can be an advantage. 02:01 — Using Lived Experience in Voiceover How life and career experiences can make you a stronger storyteller. 06:47 — Why Nuance Matters How experience can bring more depth and authenticity to a performance. 10:07 — Technology and Generational Differences How different generations may experience communication and relationships differently. 12:35 — Are Older Voices Marketable? Why mature voices continue to have opportunities in voiceover. 13:34 — Understanding Gravitas Why gravitas isn't simply about having a deep or low voice. 16:23 — Finding Your Voiceover Niche How your professional experience can help you identify the right markets. 21:45 — Authenticity and Demographic Reads Why sounding younger doesn't necessarily mean understanding a younger audience. 24:50 — The Value of Longevity How staying in the business can build experience, credibility, and resilience. 27:45 — Staying Relevant as a Voice Actor Why continuing to learn and evolve is essential to a long-term career. 29:35 — Resilience and the Human Side of Voiceover A powerful conversation about purpose, resilience, and connection.     Top 10 Lessons From This Episode 1. Your previous career can help your voiceover career. Professional experience gives you knowledge and context that can make certain performances more authentic. 2. Age can be an advantage. Life experience gives you more emotional and storytelling reference points. 3. Nuance matters. Small changes in thought, reaction, timing, and emotion can make a performance more believable. 4. Gravitas isn't about pitch. Credibility comes from knowledge, authority, experience, and connection with the audience. 5. Authenticity matters. Sounding like a particular demographic isn't necessarily the same as understanding that demographic. 6. Find your strengths. You don't need to be the right voice for every type of project. 7. Your experience can help you find a niche. Previous careers and industries can point you toward voiceover markets where you already have valuable knowledge. 8. Longevity matters. Staying in the business through challenges and changes builds experience and resilience. 9. Keep learning. Experience only remains valuable when you're willing to continue evolving. 10. Voiceover is about connection. Your voice is important, but your ability to tell a believable story and connect with a listener is what ultimately matters.

Hardcore Con, the Shoebox Scam, and How Fear Fuels Fraud with Johnathan WaltonKelly interviews returning guest Johnathan Walton about cons, victims, and his podcast Hardcore Con. They discuss how anyone can be scammed, especially those who believe it can't happen to them, and how multiple “red flags” compound; Kelly also describes adopting a family “code word” to thwart scams. Walton breaks down the “shoebox” case in which a financial journalist was manipulated by spoofed calls and fake FTC/CIA agents into withdrawing $50,000 and handing it to a stranger, explaining how scammers use fear, emotion, and sunk cost fallacy. They touch on jury-duty and tech-support scams, Walton's efforts to help victims build compelling cases for police, and his series Cocaine Air. Walton previews Hardcore Con episodes on Brittany Murphy, arguing a con artist husband isolated her and withheld medical care, and teases an upcoming episode about an Amazon-related blackmail scheme.Previous link to Johnathan's first appearance: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pOZAQ9W8rRfURhyfQVJd8https://www.buzzsprout.com/1261361/episodes/17653295-even-fraud-has-a-silver-lining-with-johnathan-walton01:37 No Victim Shaming04:03 Safe Word 05:04 Hardcore Con Tease05:46 Red Flags Checklist06:44 Shoebox Scam Breakdown08:24 Fear And Sunk Cost12:55 Jury Duty Scam15:42 Helping Victims Report16:52 Cocaine Air Update23:59 Beak Wetting Explained25:07 Gender And Motives27:59 Power Over Money28:19 Breadcrumb Setup Trap30:30 Fraud Crumbs Tactics32:00 Desperation And TJ32:48 Honeypots And Raids34:18 What To Watch Now35:41 Sharper And Silent Scams37:25 Corporate Gossip And Frank40:34 Hardcore Con Brittany Murphy44:13 Legal Fraud And Nonprofits47:08 Amazon Blackmail Episode49:06 Handyman Escort Underworld51:45 Books That Stop Cons53:13 Final Thanks And Wrap

Episode #162: How much is a hand or wrist injury worth in California Workers' Comp?  If you're dealing with hand pain, numb fingers, carpal tunnel, loss of grip strength, a wrist injury, or a serious hand injury, you may be wondering what your case could actually be worth, and what mistakes could hurt your settlement.  In Part 4 of our "Injury by Injury" series, Carmen Ramirez sits down with Bilal Kassem, President of Pacific Workers and an experienced California Workers' Compensation attorney, to break down one of the most common, and potentially misunderstood, workplace injuries.  Bilal shares what he sees in real workers' comp cases and explains:  Why hand and wrist injuries can happen in almost any industry   The difference between a traumatic injury and an injury that develops over time   Symptoms you should NOT ignore, including numbness, tingling, weakness and loss of grip   Why you shouldn't try to diagnose your injury yourself   What treatment and diagnostic testing can look like   How a hand or wrist injury can affect your settlement   Why there is no one-size-fits-all dollar amount for a hand injury   How permanent disability and future medical care can impact case value   The words you use when describing your symptoms that could come back to hurt your case   Why missing appointments or ignoring symptoms can create problems   What happens if your workers' comp claim is denied   Why you have the right to make decisions about your medical treatment   And one of the biggest takeaways from Bilal:  Your settlement isn't based simply on the body part that was injured. It's about how that injury affects you.  Your hands are involved in almost everything you do, from working and lifting to opening a door, driving, using your phone, and taking care of your family.  So if you're dealing with a hand or wrist injury at work, don't ignore the symptoms and don't assume your injury isn't serious enough to matter.

Episode #247: The Man Who Brought Bikurim To The Previous Rebbe

In this episode of Personal Injury Marketing Minute, host Lindsey Busfield sits down with Ed Levy, founder and CEO of Edventure Promotions and creator of the I Love My PI Lawyer Program. They delve into the often-overlooked potential of leveraging past clients as a growth opportunity for personal injury law firms. Ed shares insights into how thoughtful gifting can transform client relationships into long-term referral sources. He explains the psychology behind gifting, distinguishing it from generic swag, and emphasizes the importance of personalized, meaningful gifts that resonate with clients. The discussion covers best practices for selecting gifts, crafting messages that enhance perceived value, and the significant return on investment that can be achieved. Listeners will gain valuable strategies to enhance client loyalty and drive referrals, ultimately boosting their firm’s growth.

Who is Ed Levy and what is the “I Love My PI Lawyer” program? Ed Levy is the founder and CEO of Edventure Promotions and the creator of the “I Love My PI Lawyer” program. This initiative helps personal injury law firms transform positive client experiences into long-term relationships and referral opportunities by leveraging the power of gifting. The program focuses on turning satisfied clients into referral sources through thoughtful, curated gifts that convey appreciation and care. How did Edventure Promotions enter the personal injury space? Edventure Promotions began working in the personal injury space by chance. A friend of Ed Levy, who was a lawyer in Chicago, needed help in reducing client calls. Ed suggested sending a personalized gift, which not only reduced calls but also resulted in five-star reviews. This success story marked the start of Edventure Promotions’ journey into the personal injury sector, applying their expertise in creating custom, thoughtful gifts that foster long-lasting client relationships. What distinguishes gifting from traditional swag in legal marketing? Gifting is distinct from traditional swag in that it is personal and meaningful, rather than generic. While swag typically involves mass-distributed items like pens or mugs, a gift is personalized and thoughtful, creating a memorable experience for the recipient. The perceived value of gifts tends to influence the recipient's attitude more positively, especially when the gift is valued over $35 and accompanied by a personal message. How does Edventure Promotions guide firms in selecting gifts for clients? Edventure Promotions engages in a creative development process with each law firm to understand their personality and voice. This process involves a deep dive into what the firm wants clients to feel and say about them. Based on these insights, they craft personalized gifts and messages that match the firm’s culture and the intended client experience, ensuring each gift is meaningful and well-received. Should gifts be customized for each client or standardized across the firm? Typically, Edventure Promotions creates a standard gift for all clients of a firm, with personalized messaging that makes each recipient feel valued. While the gifts remain consistent to streamline the process, the accompanying messages are crafted to reflect the client's experience, ensuring a personal touch. However, firms have the option to personalize each message further for a more tailored experience. What actions do law firms hope to inspire in clients through gifting? Law firms aim to create a memorable client experience that leads to positive word-of-mouth referrals. By providing a thoughtful gift, the goal is for clients to feel valued and to recommend the firm to others. The experience should leave clients feeling confident and cared for, making them more likely to refer the firm to friends, family, or acquaintances who might need legal services. What types of gifts offer the best ROI for law firms? Gifts ranging from glassware to personalized items like carving sets are among the most popular. The key is selecting gifts that align with the firm's culture and the message they want to convey. To maximize ROI, gifts should be integrated into a broader client experience strategy, ensuring they complement the firm's service and client interaction style. Why might past attempts at client gifting fail to yield results? Past gifting attempts may fail if the gifts lack personalization or perceived value. The effectiveness of a gift hinges on the thought and message behind it. Simply giving away generic items like mugs without a personal touch or meaningful context can make the gesture feel impersonal and thus less impactful. How can a gifting strategy enhance a personal injury firm’s reputation and referrals? A well-executed gifting strategy can transform satisfied clients into brand ambassadors. By providing a memorable and personalized gifting experience, clients are more likely to speak positively about the firm and refer others, effectively becoming a walking billboard for the firm. This strategy capitalizes on existing client relationships, turning them into a powerful and cost-effective marketing tool.

When We Waffle – Episode 34: Wonder-WaffleWhy Wonder-Waffle? Absolutely no reason whatsoever. And frankly, that's reason enough.Christmas is slowly creeping up on the gang in this archive episode, so Terry, Kat and Laurie get vaguely festive and start talking about their favourite things about Christmas — while simultaneously managing to slag off a considerable amount of Christmas along the way.There's festive nostalgia, Christmas gripes, random stories and all the usual conversational nonsense before Ray Medallion inevitably rings in with another dose of wisdom nobody requested. Donald Trump also makes his usual appearance with more tales, opinions and complete nonsense from his peculiar corner of the world.And in a moment nobody knew they needed, Kat unleashes her Cyndi Lauper impression. Christmas truly has arrived.It's festive-ish, chaotic, occasionally cynical and packed with the impressions, stories and ridiculous tangents that make up another classic episode of When We Waffle.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd. And there's plenty more to come — including brand-new When We Waffle later this year.Hosted by Terry Mynott, Katrina Fox and Laurie Peters.Produced, remastered, edited and published by Peters-Fox Ltd.Follow the show, tell a fellow waffler and come back Tuesday and Friday for another helping of When We Waffle.Instagram: instagram.com/whenwewaffle

In this episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Fernando Rivas, MD, joins to unpack the safety and screening considerations for ibogaine therapy. Dr. Rivas is an emergency physician with over 15 years of clinical experience. As Chief Medical Officer of Transcend Clinic, he has led the development of innovative treatment protocols in addiction medicine and the clinical application of ibogaine. In this conversation, Dr. Rivas discusses who may be a good candidate for ibogaine therapy and the clinical considerations involved in determining its safety. He explains that ibogaine has the strongest current support for interrupting substance use disorders and addressing TBI and PTSD, while potential applications in other areas remain emerging and require further research. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Rivas emphasizes the importance of distinguishing absolute from relative contraindications and of carefully screening patients for psychiatric risks, cardiac conditions, and medication interactions. He also discusses medically supported detox protocols, the importance of evaluating treatment through an individualized risk-benefit framework, and how lower-dose or non-psychedelic approaches may eventually broaden access to ibogaine's potential neuroplastic effects.   In this episode, you'll hear: What conditions ibogaine has been most studied for and where its potential applications may be expanding The psychiatric and physical conditions that may make someone an unsuitable candidate for ibogaine treatment How patients with active opioid or alcohol use may be medically supported and stabilized before treatment Why relative contraindications should be evaluated through an individualized risk-benefit analysis How ibogaine's typical psychedelic experience may be shorter than its reputation suggests Why the immediate improvements some patients experience should be understood within the broader context of neuroplasticity and long-term integration   Quotes: "Ibogaine is the most robust of the [psycho]plastogens in terms of the window of time that it is able to open [for increased neuroplasticity]—at least as per preclinical research. So the potential is tremendous." [3:22] "Cardiovascular health is the most important [safety consideration for ibogaine therapy]. If you have a big hypertrophic heart and a large dilated heart, the risks are greater. If you have rhythm disturbances, the risks are greater and sometimes unacceptable." [11:08] "The chances [of an adverse cardiac event] are mitigated by properly screening and vetting patients, as well as by the addition of magnesium to ibogaine treatment. Magnesium is an essential component, as it is cardioprotective. … It simply raises the threshold for an irregular heartbeat or to occur."  [17:38] "A first degree relative with schizophrenia, for example, would be a relative contraindication. However, we must think of this in terms of risk and benefit. If this person is injecting fentanyl every day, they are at risk of overdose and death every single day. … so that relative contraindication should always be ascertained in terms of risk-benefit, particularly risk to life when it is present." [29:31] "The science currently supports that sufficient exposure over a short enough period of time can yield pretty much the same results in terms of [neuro]plasticity without incurring a psychedelic experience. And we have tailored some specific treatments for patients that did not wish to incur a psychedelic experience, yet wanted to obtain the benefits of the plastic component of ibogaine treatment."

Virginia Evans, the 2026 PEN/Hemingway Award winner for her novel The Correspondent, joins us to discuss her one true sentence from Hemingway: “You must be prepared to work always without applause." In this episode, Evans reflects on learning to value the work itself before and after publication, especially following the unexpected success of her novel. She discusses writing intuitively, the challenges of shifting between multiple letter-writers' voices, and braiding many plot strands tightly back to Sybil at the story's center. In addition, Evans recounts winning the PEN/Hemingway Award and her plan to read all of Hemingway in her fortieth year.Thank you for listening to One True Podcast!

Legal team, on the docket this week we're revisiting one of our favorite cases…because she just can't stop saying that she did nothing wrong. Conspiracy to obtain mortgage loans through fraud and misrepresentations, bankruptcy fraud through concealment of assets and false declarations, and failure to file income taxes…of course, we are talking about Teresa Giudice, former cast member of Real Housewives of New Jersey and current cast member of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. This episode is the first part of a series we're starting in conjunction with the RHUGT Roaring 20th. Bankruptcy, loan allegations, indictments, guilty plea sentencing, prison, Joe's deportation…we've covered it all before. This will not be as in-depth as our previous episodes on Teresa, but we'll be laying out the facts as we respond to what she's been saying to the press (and on RHUGT), and reminding you of how it all went down back in 2014. We will not let her rewrite history and spin this false narrative that she was “made an example.” Previous episodes on Teresa linked below!Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part ITeresa & Joe Giudice: Part 2Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part 3What's on the docket?Angela's respect for TeresaCesie's frustrations towards TeresaBackground of Teresa's crimesTeresa's recent press statementsThe difference between jail and prisonTeresa and Joe's discrepancies in their bankruptcy filingsTeresa's malpractice claim against bankruptcy attorneyThe importance of clients telling their attorney the truthTeresa's genuine defense theoryDetails of the indictmentWhat happens in a sentencing procedurePronouncement of the sentenceGia Giudice's comments about her dad's deportation on Next Gen NYCWhy Joe was deportedOur thoughts on Trump pardoning the Chrisleys and not Teresa and JoeAccess additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Today's episode is about modesty - should we focus on it? Should we even have "modesty standards?"    We discuss how focusing on this is focusing on the wrong thing and actually keeps people stuck. When we focus on a micro point instead of a macro value and then try to project it onto others as their responsibility to follow it in order for me to be healthy, we are missing the mark.   Alternatively - what does healing and freedom really look like? What if we raise a new generation of children who are taught how to value themselves and others? This shift can prevent and resolve many issues just by learning how to love ourselves and love others.   Previous episodes that are similar: Episode 127: noticing vs Arousal: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-betrayal-recovery-porn-addiction/id1674653111?i=1000720874791   Episode 128: Is attraction the same as lusting?: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-betrayal-recovery-porn-addiction/id1674653111?i=1000721175129   Episode 138:  Where Modesty Culture Goes Wrong: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-betrayal-recovery-porn-addiction/id1674653111?i=1000731965520   ***   If  would like to connect with Kylene for 1:1 coaching support, please click this link and book a free connection call: https://p.bttr.to/3ttk0Ql   Learn more at www.RecoverUcoaching.com   Check out the What's NEXT course for newly betrayed partners:  https://recoverucoaching.com/whats-next-course     Submit Questions and Feedback to the RecoverU podcast here: https://forms.gle/uww5sWK1WP8T8dbc8    Join the free RecoverU Facebook page for betrayed partners: www.facebook.com/groups/recoveru2    Resources for Healing: https://recoverucoaching.com/resources

Trust isn't something you manufacture through effort — it's something you receive through relationship. In this episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro concludes the series on OCPD and perfectionism by exploring why control feels so necessary, how our earliest relationships shape our ability to trust God, and why freedom begins not when we become perfect, but when we allow ourselves to be loved. Because holiness isn't built on mastering the perfect spiritual routine — it's built on learning to rest in the love that has always been pursuing you. Key Topics: Why trust can't be built through more effort, more surrender, or the right devotion How "trying harder" to trust God is actually the pattern itself, not the way out of it How the parts of us that need control aren't bad, but are protecting something deeper Why compassion, not correction, is the first step toward healing a controlling part How self-possession exists for the sake of self-gift — and why you can't give what you don't have Why holiness was never meant to end fear of hell, but to end the need to earn love in the first place How real healing only happens in relationship — not in a program, a podcast, or a novena Learn More: Previous episodes in this series on Obsessive Compulsive Personality Patterns: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Ep. #291: OCPD and Scrupulosity: How the Worship of Rules and Control Leads to the Loneliness of Certainty Ep. #292: Holy Anxiety: The Understandable Underbelly of Scrupulosity Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II Presence Virtual Retreat: Practice the presence of God and trustful surrender  Previous episodes on parts work (IFS): Ep. #34: A New Theory! w/ a Catholic Lens Ep. #35: Why Do I Feel Like I Have Conflicting Thoughts? w/ Dr. Peter Malinoski Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

When We Waffle – Episode 33Another episode, another complete absence of anything resembling a plan.Terry, Kat and Laurie are back around the microphones for more When We Waffle — plenty of stories, ridiculous observations, mad impressions and conversations that begin somewhere vaguely sensible before disappearing off in entirely unexpected directions.Donald Trump is back with more of his increasingly unbelievable nonsense, while Ray Medallion rings in once again to share the sort of life advice that absolutely nobody asked for but everybody probably needs to hear.Throw in Terry's ever-growing collection of characters, Kat and Laurie's contributions to the chaos and all the usual spontaneous silliness, and you've got another hour of When We Waffle doing what it does best — talking absolute nonsense and having a bloody good time doing it.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd. And there's plenty more to come — including brand-new When We Waffle later this year.Hosted by Terry Mynott, Katrina Fox and Laurie Peters.Produced, remastered, edited and published by Peters-Fox Ltd.Follow the show, tell a fellow waffler and come back Tuesday and Friday for another helping of When We Waffle.Instagram: instagram.com/whenwewaffle

Can preterm birth be prevented? Historically the answer has been no, and the numbers back that up. In 2006 the U.S. preterm birth rate was about 12 percent. In 2024 it was 10.4 percent. Medicine has gotten dramatically better at keeping premature babies alive, but almost no better at keeping pregnancies from ending early. In this episode, Kristin and Dr. Abdelhak make the case that the answer is yes, preterm birth can be prevented far more often than it is now, and that the field has been looking in the wrong place. Preterm birth is not one condition. It is a grab bag: placental abruption, systemic infection like appendicitis or pyelonephritis, uterine overdistension from twins, triplets, or polyhydramnios, trauma, severe hypertension, stimulant and cocaine use. Every one of those causes announces itself. The woman with triplets is obviously carrying triplets. The woman with an abruption is bleeding and in pain. So what about the woman with none of that, doing everything right, who shows up at 30 weeks contracting and three centimeters dilated? For forty years the answer was "subclinical infection," a diagnosis Dr. Abdelhak takes apart in this episode. If it is subclinical, why is preterm labor the only clinical thing it ever does? Why does an appendicitis start with pain and fever and end in labor, while this mystery infection skips straight to the last step? And after four decades of amniocentesis studies cataloguing cytokines, interleukins, and prostaglandins, where is the treatment? There isn't one, because researchers found exactly what they went looking for. His answer is mechanical, not microbial. The cervix is a timekeeper on the pregnancy. Conventional teaching says contractions open the cervix. He argues it runs the other way: the cervix quietly gives way over weeks, and when it opens far enough, labor starts. That is why he says he is almost never surprised by a preterm labor. He was already watching the cervix shorten. Also covered: why previous preterm birth is the single strongest risk factor (it is the same cervix), why cone biopsy raises risk more than LEEP does, what funneling on ultrasound actually tells you, the difference between classic cervical insufficiency and the milder version that still lets you reach the third trimester, and why a three-hour precipitous labor at 38 weeks may be the same finding wearing a friendlier face. The practical takeaway: serial cervical length measurement for anyone with a red flag, first-time moms included, and cerclage when the cervix starts to open. Screening plus treatment, not a pill for an infection nobody can find. Plus: why the president and Taylor Swift would get their cervix measured every single week, and what that tells you about the standard of care the rest of us are offered. Topics covered, in order Why this topic is worth repeating, and why the framing here is not the conventional one The better question: preventing preterm birth, not preterm labor Fifty years, the March of Dimes, and a rate that has barely moved What we did get better at: neonatal survival and outcomes, not prevention Preterm birth as a grab bag, not a single disease Placental abruption Systemic infection: appendicitis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, severe pneumonia, COVID The subclinical infection theory, and the case against it Why the amniocentesis and cytokine studies found what they set out to find Uterine overdistension: twins, triplets, polyhydramnios Trauma, decidual hemorrhage Severe hypertension, pulsatile flow, and abruption risk before 20 weeks Cocaine, methamphetamine, smoking The patient nobody can explain, and what is actually going on The core claim: dilation causes the contractions, not the other way around Why Dr. Abdelhak is rarely surprised by a preterm labor Mild cervical insufficiency, and "dreamlike" cervical insufficiency at 38 weeks Why previous preterm birth is the number one risk factor LEEP versus cone biopsy, and why cone matters more Normal variation in cervical length, and the big nose analogy Length is not everything: bulk, thickness, and how the cervix feels Funneling on ultrasound as a warning sign The proposal: serial cervical length screening plus cerclage Why the numbers are U.S. numbers, and why international rates are not trustworthy The VIP standard of care, and who actually gets weekly scans Key takeaways Preterm birth is not one condition. Abruption, systemic infection, overdistension, trauma, and severe hypertension each have their own mechanism, and each is usually obvious on arrival. "Subclinical infection" is not a diagnosis, it is a placeholder. Forty years in, it has produced no treatment and no measurable drop in the preterm birth rate. The cervix is the timekeeper. When it is weak, it opens slowly over weeks, and labor follows the opening rather than causing it. Previous preterm birth predicts the next one because it is the same cervix. You cannot order a new one. Cone biopsy raises preterm birth risk more than LEEP, because more cervix is removed. Length is a clue, not a verdict. Plenty of women have naturally short cervixes and carry to term. Funneling, bulk, and change over time matter as much as a single number. The intervention that would move the needle already exists. Serial cervical length measurement in anyone with a risk factor, and cerclage when it starts to open. Screening and treatment, not a mystery pill. Terms mentioned Placental abruption — the placenta separating from the uterine wall before delivery. Pyelonephritis — kidney infection. Polyhydramnios — too much amniotic fluid. Uterine overdistension — the uterus stretched beyond its comfortable capacity, as with twins or triplets. Cervical insufficiency — a cervix that opens without labor. Funneling — the cervix opening from the inside out, visible on ultrasound before any external change. Cerclage — a stitch placed to reinforce the cervix. LEEP and cone biopsy — procedures removing cervical tissue after abnormal Pap or HPV findings. Precipitous labor — a very fast labor, often under three hours. Memorable quotes: "I am telling you what happened was the three centimeters dilated caused the contractions." "If it's subclinical, why doesn't it stay that way?" "The cervix is a mechanical timekeeper on the pregnancy." Got something you want to share or ask? Keep it coming. We love hearing from you.

The Morning Shift crew also continues to preview the Atlanta Braves' three game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers that starts tonight, explain why they think the Braves core may be on their final chapter if they don't make deep playoff run this season, and then close out hour two by talking about the biggest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle!

Christina Zuppke returns to Shifting Dimensions for a conversation about what it means to awaken to our multidimensional nature, and actually live from it.We explore why purpose isn't something we necessarily “find,” but something that reveals itself as we become more authentic, question inherited beliefs, and learn to trust our intuition alongside logic. Christina shares why shadow work, energetic sovereignty, community, and confronting our blind spots are essential parts of becoming what she calls the multidimensional human.We also discuss the loneliness of waking up, knowing when relationships have fallen out of alignment, spirituality without dogma, the recent return of some spiritual practitioners to traditional Christianity, and why the foundation beneath our spiritual practices may matter more than the practices themselves.Previous episode Christina featured in: https://youtu.be/gEdZyQsMGYc?si=SeLtHM7KqnuWRywtWhere to find Christina: https://www.lightbodyacademy.com/https://www.lightbodyacademy.com/free-resourcesSend us Fan MailSupport the showLove the show?

When We Waffle – Episode 32Another week, another hour of gloriously unnecessary conversation.Terry, Kat and Laurie are back with more of the usual chaos: random stories, daft observations, strange impressions, familiar voices dropping in, and conversations that somehow manage to drift miles away from wherever they started.There's no grand plan, no sensible structure and absolutely no guarantee that anyone remembers what they were talking about five minutes earlier. Which, of course, is exactly the point.Expect more classic When We Waffle nonsense, plenty of laughs and another hour spent in the company of three people who are very happy to keep talking until somebody eventually tells them to stop.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd.

In this episode I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe anthropologist and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Dr Joffe shares his recent research and publications on the topic of gegs sel, Tibetan writing about how to remedy the various obstacles and illnesses that can arise during meditation. Dr Joffe draws on Tibetan gegs sel texts to describe three types of meditation problems and five categories of solution and explains the surprising technique that Taranatha emphasises as central to removing spiritual obstacles. Dr Joffe also argues that although there has been increased interest in the negative effects of meditation, gegs sel literature remains understudied, and we reflect on the possible incompatibility between Tibetan medical and spiritual cures and modern psychological and psychiatric approaches to meditation injury. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Spiritual obstacles 02:53 - Ben's research into meditation sickness 07:20 - Tibetan oral instructions for adverse yogic effects 11:47 - Taranatha on gegs sel 14:03 - Ben's personal experience with gegs sel 16:26 - Why is gegs sel so understudied? 21:58 - Is intensive tantric practice dangerous? 24:06 - Practices should produce signs 28:22 - It is timely to talk about meditation sickness 31:47 - Differing medical and therapeutic models 36:33 - Catching lice in retreat 38:40 - Gegs gsel literature is for committed practitioners 42:38 - Do tantric solutions make psychiatric symptoms worse? 48:40 - Dr Nida on psychosis in retreat 56:50 - Dza Paltrul on demons 01:01:28 - Ultimate vs relative 01:03:31 - Guru Yoga and a psychodynamic lens on gegs sel 01:09:42 - Night terrors and deity devotion 01:12:50 - Ben's experience of devotion 01:17:29 - 3 categories of problems, 5 categories of solutions 01:31:55 - 5 fundamental gegs sel methods 01:33:55 - Dispelling demonic obstacles 01:38:56 - Warning to not ignore devotion 01:40:23 - Meditation experiences vs obstacles 01:44:09 - Simple visualisation methods 01:46:35 - Tsa, rlung, thig le 01:50:49 - Breathing techniques 01:54:37 - How common is meditation sickness? 02:11:22 - The most important thing 02:13:43 - PTSD and MDMA 02:23:16 - Where to read more … Previous episodes with Dr Ben Joffe: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=joffe To find out more about Dr Ben Joffe, visit: - https://perfumedskull.com/ - http://www.skypressbooks.com/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Jon Seaton, founding Partner at Echo Canyon Consulting, has developed a platform to reshape how data and AI can improve the ground game of field canvassing. Field data, often manually audited and slowly made available, is a key source of information for campaigns, and intentional inaccuracies or accidental errors can quickly contaminate datasets downstream.  While many AI solutions focus on generating content, this solution focuses on verifying that a human has actually conducted the work. We talk about: Previous struggles with data reliability from field canvassers leading to poor strategic campaign decisions Fraud detection and what canvassers think they can get away with How near real-time reporting allows for corrective actions and feedback to canvassers Why door-to-door canvassing remains the most effective campaign tool #EchoCanyonConsulting #Astralis #PoliticalCampaigns #FieldOperations #CampaignTech #GroundGame #AIinPolitics #DataIntegrity #GetOutTheVote #CampaignStrategy EchoCanyonConsulting.com

When We Waffle – Episode 31Another week, another waffle — and once again, absolutely nobody is in control.This week Terry, Kat and Laurie wander through everything from what they like getting up to at the weekend to rappers, MCs, music and whatever else happens to enter their heads along the way. Laurie's grandad inevitably finds his way back into the conversation too, because apparently no episode is complete without him.Donald Trump returns with another completely unhinged instalment from Cincinnati Street, while Ray Medallion phones in with more pearls of wisdom from a man who remains remarkably confident about absolutely everything.And then there's Bill Nighy — or at least Terry's wonderfully bizarre version of him — who rings in specifically for a chat with Kat. What follows makes about as much sense as you'd expect.It's impressions, stories, music, family, ridiculous phone calls and three people talking themselves down one conversational dead end after another. In other words: classic When We Waffle.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd. And there's plenty more to come — including brand-new When We Waffle later this year.Hosted by Terry Mynott, Katrina Fox and Laurie Peters.Produced, remastered, edited and published by Peters-Fox Ltd.Follow the show, tell a fellow waffler and come back Tuesday and Friday for another helping of When We Waffle.

383 – Do you want to see more healing in your life?If you had lived 2,000 years ago, would you have asked Jesus to heal you?Probably so! Unfortunately, since Jesus isn't here personally the way he was back then, some Christians have concluded God doesn't or can't heal the way He did in the Bible.But there's a growing movement within the greater Christian church which is experiencing the healing power of God in their everyday lives.In this week's episode, we're going to answer the question: How can we see more of God's healing in our lives?Why it is always God's will for you to be healedYour motives make all the differenceHumility is a key factor in healingThe power of "running to meet Goliath" when you pray for healingPraying with the sword of the TruthAsk yourself these questionsDo you trust God completely or are you leaning on your own abilities?What do I need to repent of to open the door to healing?What does Christ give you that empowers your prayers to heal?Why are prayer and Bible study important? (That's obvious!)How can gratitude bring healingWhy does the way you live and love matter?What if all your prayers for healing go unanswered, and feel like just a bunch of hollow words?There's a simple remedy for this. Listen now to see what you can do when this happens.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episodes mentioned:Episode 29: Is it Ever God's Will You Are NOT Healed When You Pray?Episode 98: It Is God's Will for You to Be HealedBlog Post: Running to Meet GoliathEpisode 353: The Blessing of Facing Challenges Head-OnEpisode 23: How to Pray Like Jesus: The Prayer to Rebuke SicknessEpisode 24: Give Gratitude in Advance of a Healing or BlessingSHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and Bible quotes in this episode, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/383Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

An Atlanta babysitter with a history of child abduction is arrested after allegedly kidnapping two young sisters while their mother was out for dinner. In Texas, a Plano man faces murder charges after police discover his estranged wife's body stuffed inside a vehicle trunk during a welfare check. Meanwhile in Massachusetts, a teenager is held without bail after allegedly using ChatGPT to research family murder scenarios before carrying out a violent attack against his mother and brother.

DL makes the case he's been building for 20 years: Radiohead's Hail to the Thief is not just underrated — it's their best album.Released in 2003, Hail to the Thief arrived after Kid A and Amnesiac pushed Radiohead to abandon the guitar entirely. What happened when Jonny Greenwood picked it back up? He came back to the instrument with a completely new harmonic vocabulary — modal, ambiguous, non-resolving — and the result is the synthesis that makes this album extraordinary.DL breaks down what makes this 14-track, 46-minute record a perfect listen: the political fury of "2+2=5" (an Orwell reference recorded in two weeks at Hensall Studios LA), the unsettling harmonic stasis of "Myxomatosis," the warmth buried inside the Kid A-style production of "Backdrifts," and why Thom Yorke writing "Sail to the Moon" for his infant son while watching the Iraq War unfold is one of the most devastating things in Radiohead's catalog.Plus: the Nigel Godrich production approach, why the leak three weeks before release didn't matter, why critics were wrong about it being overstuffed, a full track-by-track ranking, and a 10/10 score.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's complete Radiohead album-by-album series.

Jeff Bliss discusses the severe threats posed by a potential "super El Niño," which could lead to massive coastal erosion, mudslides, and heavy rains in Los Angeles, similar to the damage seen in previous severe weather years. He also reports on active wildfires in California, such as the Timber Fire in Monterey County and the Bug Fire near the Nevada border, noting that humans cause roughly 90 to 95% of these blazes. Shifting to entertainment, Bliss describes the highly anticipated opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which features the "Skywalker Grill"—a restaurant causing excitement among Los Angeles foodies for its Michelin-star potential. Additionally, Bliss covers the landmark $12.8 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Lakers by a group involving Jared Kushner and Bob Iger. Finally, he touches on the legal controversy surrounding the Paramount-Skydance merger and David Ellison's threat to move production out of Hollywood. (1)

When We Waffle – Episode 30Thirty episodes in and somehow When We Waffle is showing absolutely no signs of becoming more sensible.This week, Terry, Kat and Laurie return to the important business of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, with plenty more opinions, observations and inevitable detours into subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with the programme.Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back with another dispatch from the increasingly bizarre world of Cincinnati Street, while Ray Medallion phones in to dispense another dose of wisdom that probably shouldn't be followed under any circumstances.Add Terry's mad impressions, Kat and Laurie's stories, unexpected tangents and the usual conversational chaos, and you've got another gloriously unpredictable helping of When We Waffle.These archive episodes are being played here for the first time after being locked away for almost 10 years, carefully remastered and restored by Peters-Fox Ltd.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (8.12) The biggest news in SoCal? The LA Lakers have been flipped in record time, sold for a staggering $12.5 billion to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. Previous owner Mark Walter walked away with a cool $2.5 billion profit after owning the team for only a few months. Can The Foosh even name the Lakers’ all-time greats? With seven planets aligning tonight, Timmy brings in the Duke of Sports Eric Sklar to break down the wild deal. Walter had bought a majority stake for $10 billion in June 2025, only for federal insurance impropriety questions to surface a month ago — and now this lightning-fast $12.5 billion flip. Still mourning Jackie the bald eagle, who passed after weeks of intensive care at a SoCal raptor center, Timmy welcomes new KFI reporter Jason Nathanson to the studio to track what will happen with her remains. And California Attorney General candidate Michael Gates calls in to talk campaign, challenging Rob Bonta for the job. We’re rooting for him! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
