Podcasts about Priya

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Priyadarshini "Priya" Basu of Washington State University to discuss two major topics shaping the future of beekeeping: the upcoming COLOSS North America meeting and the evolving science of honey bee nutrition. COLOSS (Prevention of Colony Losses) is an international nonprofit network of more than 2,000 honey bee researchers across 113 countries. For the first time, a multi–task force North American meeting will be held June 6–12 at Washington State University in Pullman. The event will bring together researchers, beekeepers, veterinarians, inspectors, and growers to discuss nutrition, pathogens, pesticides, climate change, and landscape impacts on honey bee health. Workshops, tours, and hands-on sessions will provide practical learning opportunities for attendees at all levels. Priya also shares updates from her lab's nutrition research, including pollen landscape mapping across North America, micronutrient analysis, supplemental forage strategies, and how nutrition interacts with stressors like pesticides and disease. The discussion covers practical considerations for trapping and storing pollen, differences between pollen substitutes and supplements, winter feeding strategies, and how nutrition influences brood production and colony resilience. This episode connects cutting-edge research directly to real-world beekeeping decisions — from hobbyists to commercial operations.

Priya left her full-time job to build an agency on her own terms — and now finds herself buried under client obligations she can't seem to escape. Every new project feels like a trap, and turning down work feels like a risk she can't afford. Preston and Sabrina sit down with Jesse P. Gilmore of Niche in Control to map out exactly how agency owners can build for freedom instead of accidentally building another job — covering time systems, ideal client selection, offer design, and the mindset work that makes all of it stick.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Uniting for Bengal Tigers: A Tale of Conservation and Community Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-02-16-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: सुंदरबन के रॉयल बंगाल टाइगर रिजर्व का वातावरण शांत और मोहक था।En: The atmosphere of the Sundarban Royal Bengal Tiger Reserve was calm and enchanting.Hi: सर्दियों की हल्की धूप में मछुआरों की कश्तियाँ पानी में धीमे-धीमे तैर रही थीं।En: In the mild winter sunlight, fishermen's boats were slowly floating on the water.Hi: हर तरफ हरियाली थी, और हवा में समुंद्र की गंध घुली हुई थी।En: There was greenery everywhere, and the scent of the ocean was blended into the air.Hi: इस प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य के बीच एक छोटा सा मिट्टी का बना सम्मेलन कक्ष खड़ा था, जहाँ कई लोग एकत्रित हो रहे थे।En: Amidst this natural beauty stood a small mud-built conference room, where many people were gathering.Hi: इसी कक्ष में एक महत्वपूर्ण बैठक होने जा रही थी।En: An important meeting was about to take place in this room.Hi: अरjun, एक युवा और उत्साही वन्यजीव जीवविज्ञानी, अपने विचारों में खोया हुआ था।En: Arjun, a young and enthusiastic wildlife biologist, was lost in his thoughts.Hi: उसे टाइगर संरक्षण के लिए और अधिक धन और संसाधन चाहिए थे।En: He needed more funds and resources for tiger conservation.Hi: टाइगर गणना की उसकी गहरी जानकारी योजनाएँ तैयार कर रही थीं।En: His in-depth knowledge of tiger counting was formulating plans.Hi: वह सुंदरबन में बाघों की गिनती को लेकर अध्ययन करना चाहता था।En: He wanted to study the counting of tigers in the Sundarban.Hi: लेकिन उसके सामने खड़ी थी प्रिया, एक समझदार परियोजना प्रबंधक।En: But standing in front of him was Priya, an adept project manager.Hi: प्रिया का मानना था कि केवल बाघों के संरक्षण से कुछ नहीं होगा, जब तक आस-पास की स्थानीय जनता को शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा।En: Priya believed that conserving only tigers would not be enough, unless the local community around them was involved.Hi: बैठक में अरjun ने अपने विचार रखे।En: In the meeting, Arjun presented his ideas.Hi: "हमें बाघों की सुरक्षा के लिए और अधिक धन की आवश्यकता है।En: "We need more funds for the protection of the tigers.Hi: हमें उनके जीवन को समझने के लिए गहराई से अध्ययन करना होगा," उसने कहा।En: We have to study them in-depth to understand their lives," he said.Hi: प्रिया ने उसकी बात ध्यान से सुनी और फिर बोली, "अरjun, तुम्हारी योजना अच्छी है, लेकिन हमें स्थानीय समुदाय को भी परियोजना में शामिल करना होगा।En: Priya listened carefully to him and then spoke, "Arjun, your plan is good, but we must also involve the local community in the project.Hi: यदि वे साथ हो तो हमारी योजना अधिक सफल होगी।En: If they are with us, our plan will be more successful."Hi: "दोनों के बीच मतभेद साफ था, लेकिन अभी तक कोई समाधान नहीं निकला था।En: The difference in their opinions was clear, but no solution had been reached yet.Hi: इसी बीच, बैठक के बीच अचानक एक समाचार आया कि एक बाघ एक नजदीकी गाँव में घुस गया है।En: Meanwhile, suddenly news came during the meeting that a tiger had entered a nearby village.Hi: यह सुनते ही सब लोग चौंक गए।En: As soon as everyone heard this, they were shocked.Hi: हालात की नजाकत को देखते हुए अरjun और प्रिया दोनों को मिलकर काम करना पड़ा।En: Given the sensitivity of the situation, both Arjun and Priya had to work together.Hi: तुरंत ही वे अपने साथी विशेषज्ञों के साथ गांव की ओर रवाना हो गए।En: Immediately, they set off for the village with their fellow experts.Hi: वहां पहुंचकर, उन्होंने देखा कि बाघ को शांत करना जरूरी था, जिससे गाँव वाले भी सुरक्षित रहें और बाघ को भी नुकसान न पहुँचे।En: Upon reaching there, they saw that it was necessary to calm the tiger so that the villagers remained safe and the tiger was not harmed.Hi: अरjun ने अपनी विशेषज्ञता का उपयोग करते हुए बाघ की स्थिति को समझा और उसे बचाने के निर्देश दिए।En: Arjun used his expertise to understand the situation of the tiger and gave instructions to save it.Hi: प्रिया ने स्थानीय नेताओं से बात की और उन्हें भरोसा दिलाया कि उनका गाँव सुरक्षित रहेगा।En: Priya talked to the local leaders and assured them that their village would remain safe.Hi: उनकी योजना सफल रही।En: Their plan was successful.Hi: बाघ को जंगल में वापस छोड़ दिया गया और गाँव वालों के मन से डर हट गया।En: The tiger was released back into the forest, and the villagers' fear was alleviated.Hi: उस घटना के बाद, अरjun और प्रिया ने एक-दूसरे के दृष्टिकोण को बेहतर तरीके से समझा।En: After that incident, Arjun and Priya better understood each other's perspectives.Hi: अरjun ने स्वीकार किया कि प्रिया की समावेशी रणनीतियाँ वास्तव में प्रभावी थीं।En: Arjun acknowledged that Priya's inclusive strategies were indeed effective.Hi: प्रिया ने भी अरjun की बाघों के प्रति समर्पण और ज्ञान की सराहना की।En: Priya also appreciated Arjun's dedication and knowledge regarding tigers.Hi: अंततः, उन्होंने तय किया कि वे एक साथ काम करेंगे।En: Ultimately, they decided to work together.Hi: एक ऐसा तालमेल बनाया जाएगा जिसमें बाघों की सुरक्षा के साथ-साथ स्थानीय समुदाय की खुशहाली भी सुनिश्चित हो सके।En: A harmony would be created in which not only the safety of the tigers but also the welfare of the local community would be ensured.Hi: इस तरह उनका सहयोग और योजना सुंदरबन में बाघों और लोगों के लिए बेहतर भविष्य की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम साबित हुआ।En: Thus, their collaboration and plan proved to be a significant step towards a better future for the tigers and people in the Sundarban.

Depuis le début de l'année, plusieurs régions de Maurice sont confrontées à des coupures d'eau récurrentes, laissant des familles entières sans accès à ce service essentiel. Malgré les assurances de la Central Water Authority (CWA) de maintenir un approvisionnement stable, la réalité quotidienne des habitants semble bien différente. La situation devient particulièrement critique dans les zones densément peuplées et pendant des périodes importantes comme le Maha Shivratri, où l'eau est nécessaire pour les cérémonies religieuses et les besoins domestiques. À Camp Levieux, à Rose-Hill, Jordan, un habitant de la localité, demande aux autorités d'intervenir au plus vite, car cela fait plus de deux jours que les habitants sont sans eau. Pour Vik, de Pointe-aux-Canonniers, en cette période de Maha Shivratri, après être rentré du temple, il se retrouve sans eau. Il dénonce l'inactivité des autorités. Nandini, une habitante de la région sud, déplore le même problème… « Quand ce problème sera-t-il résolu ? », fustige Priya. De son côté, Sunil Gopal, responsable de la communication de la CWA, rassure les abonnés et rappelle l'importance de faire remonter officiellement les plaintes via la hotline 170 pour accélérer le traitement des demandes.

Priya continues our sermon series on faith in Hebrews 11, exploring how the faith of Sarah (Sarai) was not rooted in her questionable life choices, but was ultimately a result of God's faithfulness.

“We’re empowering health-care providers with unprecedented clinical depth in a compact portable form factor,” AliveCor CEO Priya Abani says about the development of its AI-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, which provide medical-grade heart data anytime and anywhere. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Abani sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth discussion about the expansion of AliveCor’s Kardia 12L device, which gives physicians a smaller, more portable ECG option. The company has widened the device’s indications to 39 cardiac conditions, established a new Category III reimbursement code and continues to train its algorithm using 1 million ECGs. Abani also talks about how her time at Amazon.com influenced her perspective on the interaction of technology and the human experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What begins as a sincere search for meaning can quietly become control. In this episode, you'll hear how devotion can blur into self-erasure—and what it takes to find your voice again. This conversation is for anyone navigating a high-demand group, spiritual community, or power dynamic that feels “off.” Hosted by Sayan on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, journalist and chef Priya Hutner shares her journey from joining an ashram as a teen to leadership, awakening, and healing through writing, therapy, and rebuilding self-trust. About the Guest: Priya Hutner is a journalist and chef, and a former CEO of an ashram community. She authored the memoir Chasing Nirvana, reflecting on spirituality, control, and recovery. Key Takeaways: Notice “slow-burn” red flags: shaming, fear-based loyalty, and loss of agency. Ask: “Can I question, think critically, and leave without punishment?” Track incongruence between teachings and lived reality. Rebuild self-trust through supportive practices (therapy, writing, reflection). Separate genuine spirituality from systems that demand self-erasure. 5.

This program explores the collision of tariffs, sustainability, design business acumen and shifting client expectations, offering a roadmap for navigating the volatility of the 2026 design landscape. Recorded live at Design Hardware in Los Angeles, I gathered a panel of industry leaders to dissect the economic and social forces shaping interior design as we head into 2026. Featuring Eva Hughes (Black House Beige), Shelly Sandoval (The Lauzon Collective), Rachel Grachowski (RHG Architecture), and Priya Vij (Hapny Home), the conversation confronts the “chaos” of the current market—from tariff-induced supply chain disruptions to the critical shortage of skilled labor. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep The discussion pivots from the technical challenges of “designing for disaster” and uninsurability to the creative opportunities found in circular economies and intentional sourcing. The panelists argue for a shift away from “fast fashion” interiors toward a “friendliness” of durability, prioritizing materials that pass the “grandparent test” of longevity. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that in a volatile market, the most valuable currencies are transparency, deep vendor relationships, and educating clients on the true cost of craftsmanship. The “Friendliness” of Durability: A move toward “legacy” materials—like solid brass hardware and high-quality hardwood—that age gracefully and avoid the landfill, countering the disposable nature of current trends. Supply Chain as Design Driver: How tariffs and stock volatility are forcing firms to adopt “high-low” budgeting and pre-purchase models (buying and storing materials early) to protect projects from price surges. Designing for Disaster: The reality of rebuilding in fire-prone zones (like Altadena and the Palisades) is driving a demand for non-toxic, fire-resistant materials and a “circular economy” approach where building products can return to the earth safely. The Labor Crisis: A candid look at the “graying” of the trades; as master craftsmen retire without a new generation to replace them, the industry faces a loss of institutional knowledge and execution capability. Intentionality Over “Modern”: The panel discusses abandoning vague buzzwords like “wellness” and “modern” in favor of deep-dive mood boarding and psychological profiling to align client expectations with reality.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Priya Hutner, we keep pulling back the curtain on life inside the Kashi Ashram and the world surrounding Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati (“Ma”), including what happens when devotion, hierarchy, and silence collide. Priya continues sharing her lived experience growing up in and around the ashram and how spiritual ideals were often used to excuse harm, blur boundaries, and shut down questions. We talk about the normalization of control and coercion in spiritual communities, the pressure to reframe pain as growth, and what it's like to realize—years later—that what you were taught was “love” or “service” didn't actually feel safe.We explore the long tail of cult recovery and religious trauma, especially for those raised in high-control spiritual environments where obedience was spiritualized and dissent was discouraged. We reflect on the complicated legacy of Ma, the culture of the ashram, and how charismatic leaders and closed communities can create conditions where harm goes unchecked. Priya's honesty adds to an essential conversation about accountability, healing, and reclaiming your voice after leaving a group that once defined your entire world.Be sure to check out Priya's book launching March 3, 2026, Chasing Nirvana: A Seeker's Story of Love, Loss and Liberation, and follow her on her website, Instagram, or Facebook.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Journey Through the Thar: Friendship and Survival in the Desert Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-01-21-08-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: थार के रेगिस्तान में सर्दियों की ठंडी धूप बिखरी हुई थी।En: In the Thar Desert, the winter's cool sunlight was spread out.Hi: रेत के ऊंचे-ऊंचे टीले और कहीं-कहीं बिखरी हरी झाड़ियों के साथ रेगिस्तान शांत और विशाल दिखाई देता था।En: With tall dunes of sand and scattered green bushes here and there, the desert appeared calm and vast.Hi: उसी वातावरण में तीन मित्र - रोहन, प्रिया और अंजलि - अपने जीवन की सबसे चुनौतीपूर्ण यात्रा पर निकले थे।En: In that environment, three friends - Rohan, Priya, and Anjali - embarked on the most challenging journey of their lives.Hi: रोहन एक दृढ़ निश्चयी और संसाधनयुक्त ट्रेकर था।En: Rohan was a determined and resourceful trekker.Hi: वह अपनी हदें पार करने को आतुर था।En: He was eager to push past his limits.Hi: प्रिया, उसकी बचपन की मित्र, रेगिस्तान में जीने के गुर जानती थी।En: Priya, his childhood friend, knew the ways of survival in the desert.Hi: अंजलि एक फोटोग्राफर थी जो रेगिस्तान के उत्सवों की सुंदरता कैमरे में कैद करने के लिए उत्सुक थी।En: Anjali was a photographer eager to capture the beauty of desert festivals in her camera.Hi: उनके सामने मुख्य लक्ष्य था - थार के रेगिस्तान की सर्दियों में कठिन यात्रा को पूरा करना और मकर संक्रांति के सांस्कृतिक जश्न को अनुभव करना।En: Their main objective was to complete the difficult journey through the Thar Desert in winter and experience the cultural celebrations of Makar Sankranti.Hi: लेकिन यात्रा के प्रारंभ में ही समस्या सामने आ गई थी।En: But right at the beginning of the journey, a problem emerged.Hi: पानी के संसाधन सीमित हो रहे थे और धीरे-धीरे उन्होंने निर्जलीकरण का सामना करना शुरू कर दिया।En: Water resources were becoming limited, and gradually they began to face dehydration.Hi: दिन गुजरते गए और पानी की कमी उनकी यात्रा के लिए बड़ा संकट बन गई।En: As the days passed, the lack of water became a major crisis for their journey.Hi: एक दिन, तेज धूप में चलते-चलते सभी थक चुके थे।En: One day, after walking under the scorching sun, everyone was exhausted.Hi: पानी की बूंदे भी खत्म हो रही थीं।En: Even the last drops of water were running out.Hi: प्रिया ने सलाह दी कि अब उन्हें किसी गांव की ओर जाना चाहिए और मदद लेनी चाहिए।En: Priya suggested that they should head towards a village and seek help.Hi: लेकिन रोहन के मन में द्वंद्व था - क्या वह अपनी यात्रा जारी रखे या समूह की सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता दे।En: But Rohan was conflicted - should he continue the journey or prioritize the group's safety?Hi: फिर उन्होंने एक साहसी निर्णय लिया।En: Then they made a bold decision.Hi: वे पास के एक गांव की ओर बढ़ने लगे, जहाँ मकर संक्रांति का जश्न चल रहा था।En: They started moving towards a nearby village where the Makar Sankranti celebration was taking place.Hi: गांव का वातावरण बिलकुल उल्टा था - चारों ओर रंग-बिरंगी पतंगें उड़ी हुई थीं और पारंपरिक गीत गाए जा रहे थे।En: The village atmosphere was entirely different - colorful kites were flying everywhere and traditional songs were being sung.Hi: लेकिन तभी रोहन निर्जलीकरण के कारण गिर पड़ा।En: But just then, Rohan collapsed due to dehydration.Hi: पास के लोगों ने यह देखा और तुरंत मदद पहुंचाई।En: The nearby villagers saw this and immediately offered assistance.Hi: उन्होंने रोहन और उसके दोस्तों को पानी दिया और उनकी देखभाल की।En: They gave water to Rohan and his friends and took care of them.Hi: धीरे-धीरे रोहन ठीक होने लगा।En: Gradually, Rohan began to recover.Hi: गांव के लोगों की सहायता पाकर, रोहन को एहसास हुआ कि यात्रा के अनुभव साझा करने में ही असली खुशी है।En: With the help of the villagers, Rohan realized that the true joy lies in sharing the journey's experiences.Hi: उन्होंने वहां कुछ दिन बिताए, उत्सवों में भाग लिया और थार की संस्कृति को समझा।En: They spent a few days there, participated in the celebrations, and understood the culture of Thar.Hi: अंततः, रोहन ने सबक सीखा - यात्रा साझा अनुभव है न कि अकेली उपलब्धि।En: Ultimately, Rohan learned a lesson - the journey is a shared experience, not a solitary achievement.Hi: जब समूह ने पुनः यात्रा शुरू की, वे अधिक सतर्क और एकजुट थे।En: When the group resumed their journey, they were more cautious and united.Hi: थार रेगिस्तान ने उन्हें जीवन का असली सबक सिखा दिया था कि सफर साथ बिताए गए पलों में है।En: The Thar Desert had taught them the real lesson of life - that the journey is in the moments shared together.

About This Episode  In this powerful episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, three leaders in workplace design and people strategy — Bree Groff, Priya Rathod, and Selena Rezvani — unpack what truly makes work meaningful today. From the myth that work must be drudgery to the practical systems companies can adopt for wellbeing, belonging, trust, inclusion, and confidence — this conversation reframes workplace culture as a strategic advantage. Drawing on decades of experience working with C‑suite leaders and global teams, our guests provide tangible ways leaders and employees alike can build environments where people show up energized, feel like they belong, and are empowered to bring their full selves to work. For anyone shaping the future of work — whether you lead teams, rethink culture, or build inclusive systems — this conversation is a roadmap to better days at work. 

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.In Part 1 of our conversation with writer Priya Hutner, she takes us inside her years at the Kashi Ashram, a spiritual community led by guru Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, AKA “Ma,” in New York. She unpacks how an intentional, service-oriented “ashram family” slowly revealed deeply culty dynamics beneath the incense and darshan (beholding). She traces her journey from an earnest young seeker drawn to Eastern spirituality, meditation, and seva (service), to an insider navigating Ma Jaya's love-bombing, manufactured mystique, public darshans and punishments, and the slow erosion of her autonomy and critical thinking in the name of devotion and ego death.We also get into the day-to-day life at Kashi—kids raised collectively, money and careers funneled into the guru's vision, romantic and family relationships controlled from the top—and how Priya eventually recognized spiritual abuse, trauma bonding, and high-demand group tactics that still affect former ashram members decades later.Be sure to check out Priya's book launching March 3, 2026, Chasing Nirvana: A Seeker's Story of Love, Loss and Liberation, and follow her on her website, Instagram, or Facebook.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Obstetrician-gynecologist Priya Panneerselvam discusses their article "How medicine reflects women's silence." Priya discusses how the quiet deference observed in their mother's generation continues to manifest in patients who apologize for their pain and hesitate to ask questions. The conversation explores the cultural and national forces that suppress female voices, linking personal family history to the broader political landscape regarding women's rights and leadership. By examining the cost of this inherited silence, Priya advocates for speaking out as an act of rebellion and gratitude for those who could not. Breaking this cycle is necessary to honor the past while securing a freer future. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

The endocrine system consists of eight major organs that produce and regulate hormones, the chemical messengers that keep the body in balance. Hormones quietly orchestrate everything from our energy and metabolism to mood, sleep, and resilience, acting as an internal communication network that responds to stress, environment, and lifestyle. From cold plunges and saunas to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, even small daily inputs are said to shift this delicate signaling. How does stress really affect our bodies? Does “adrenal fatigue” exist? Is it actually possible to “biohack” our hormones?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Priya Jaisinghani, MD, ABIM, DABOM, a triple board-certified Endocrinology, Obesity Medicine, and Internal Medicine physician from New York City.Dr. Jaisinghani received her MD from Rutgers/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where she also completed her Internal Medicine Residency, Endocrinology and Obesity Medicine Fellowships at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Summary In this episode, Cultivating Curiosity host Jeff Ikler reflects on his love of year-end "Best Books" lists and why reading sits at the heart of his podcast and personal life. He welcomes lists from institutions like The New York Times and the New York Public Library, seeing them as both a defense against book banning and a source of discovery, connection, and generosity. For Ikler, books spark curiosity, deepen empathy, and create bonds—whether through gifting or thoughtful conversation with authors. He also underscores podcast hosts' responsibility to read their guests' work in full, arguing that preparation honors both listeners and writers. Ultimately, Ikler finds himself drawn to books that slow him down through careful observation and reflection, or expand his understanding through deeply researched history, reinforcing reading as both nourishment and refuge. Three Major Takeaways Reading lists are acts of resistance, curiosity, and connection—not just recommendations. Thoughtful reading is essential to meaningful conversation, especially in podcasting. The most rewarding books either sharpen our attention to the present or deepen our understanding of the past. Jeff's favorite books in 2025 Crossings – How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of Our Planet by Ben Goldfarb. Quoting from the book jacket, "Creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their ability to migrate in search of food and mates; invasive plants hitch rides in tire treads, road salt contaminates lakes and rivers; and the very, very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swaths of habitat." In this beautifully crafted book, Goldfarb makes the case that overpasses and underpasses are essential for reducing the deaths of animals and humans who inevitably come into brutal contact with one another. One of the chief takeaways in our era of divisiveness is that road ecologists and other scientists, insurance companies, and government officials are working collaboratively to solve problems. They have different goals for doing so, but they're working effectively at the intersection. You can access my two-part podcast interview on Getting Unstuck–Cultivating Curiosity with Ben in episodes 347 and 348. The Comfort of Crows – A Backyard Year by Margaret Renkl. This title came from one of last year's best books, and it did not disappoint. Quoting from the book jacket, "Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year." How often do you read a chapter or passage because the writing is so moving? If you're interested in slowing down and seeing more of your immediate world, this is a great place to start. This small volume is a course in observation and reflection. Challenger – A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham. Like many Americans who watched the Space Shuttle Challenger break apart just seventy-three seconds into its mission, I thought I knew the story, but I was so wrong. As the book jacket explains, "…the Challenger disaster was a defining moment in twentieth-century history–one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Yet the full story of what happened, and why, has never been told." I was moved to head-shaking anger after reading how decisions were made and bungled. Higginbotham's explanation of a highly complicated topic is beautifully presented. The book is a primer on the dangers of overly complex and competing bureaucracies and ego. Remember Us – American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter. Remember Us documents twelve lives connected to the American Military Cemetery near the small village of Margraten, Netherlands. Approximately 8,300 Americans who helped liberate the Netherlands from the Nazis and the grip of fascism during World War II are buried there. One of these was a Black American soldier who, along with a company of other Black Americans, dug the graves under the harshest weather conditions. The cruel irony is that Black soldiers worked in segregated and mostly non-combat roles in a war fought to eliminate tyranny and oppression. The cemetery is remarkable because local Dutch citizens have taken it upon themselves to adopt each grave and visit it weekly. This practice reflects the citizens' ongoing gratitude, and their visits ensure that the soldiers are always remembered for their sacrifice. There is a waiting list of citizens who wish to adopt a grave. Raising Hare—a Memoir by Chloe Dalton. This title has made almost every list I've come across. From the jacket cover, "…Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare—a leveret—that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare." Dalton deftly and wisely navigates caring for the hare as a house guest versus a pet, a choice that lets the hare move between the wild of the nearby woods and the security of her home. Like Renkl, Dalton has a keen eye for observation, one that put me in her home and garden as a witness to their interactions. Origin — A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff. When I was growing up, I watched or read with almost religious fervor anything National Geographic produced featuring Louis Leakey, a paleoanthropologist and archaeologist. I was in awe of how he dug through the layers of time to find bones and artifacts from our earliest ancestors. Leakey's work was critical in demonstrating our human origins in Africa. So, when my friend Annette Taylor, a researcher of evolutionary psychology and biology, shared an article featuring Professor Jennifer Raff, an anthropologist and geneticist trying to rewrite the history of human origins in the Americas, I knew I had to invite her on my podcast. As a history enthusiast, I found it especially rewarding to co-host, along with Annette, a discussion with Professor Raff on podcast episode 358 about how and why early peoples migrated to and within North America. Raff has a talent for simplifying complex topics and making listeners comfortable with uncertainty. Scientists have theories and are constantly testing and revising them. We don't yet know for sure how early peoples arrived here or why they migrated, but that's the beauty of science and history. There is always more to discover. If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name by Heather Lende. I read this book decades ago and was as captivated then as I was this year by Heather Lende's storytelling ability. Adapted from the back cover, "As both the obituary writer and social columnist for the local newspaper (in Haines, Alaska, population about 2,500), Heather Lende knows better than anyone the goings-on in this breathtakingly beautiful place. Her offbeat chronicle brings us inside her — and the town's — busy life." Why read about a small town in Alaska? Maybe because it helps us look critically at our own lives. Like Renkl and Dalton, Heather Lende has an eye for detail, but also the humanity beneath the detail. She has graciously agreed to be my guest in podcast episode 400 this coming February. The most interesting books read in 2025 by his friends and colleagues Steve Ehrlich – The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul by Connie Zweig.  Zweig writes from a Jungian perspective that is accessible to anyone who thinks about old and new agendas, internal and external, as we transition to later life, and reflect on what we want to hold on to, and what we're prepared to let go of to live an authentic life.   Cindy House – What Just Happened by Charles Finch. It's one person's experience of the terrible year that was the pandemic lockdown, with all the fear, uncertainty, and strangeness I had forgotten. I loved his cultural observations and witty take on one of the weirdest years of our lives. I am so glad this particular record exists.  By Edgington – The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. I first read the book in 2013, then again in '24, and now I read and refer to it every year. Singer's book is what propelled me to join his Temple of the Universe, where Mariah and I now live on the grounds. It's filled with inspiration and simple, almost homely wisdom: "The moment in front of you is not bothering you; you're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you!" Spencer Seim – To Possess the Land by Frank Waters. It follows the life of Arthur Manby, who came to the New Mexico territory in 1885 from England. He quickly tried to cash in by calling parcels of land his own. He quickly ran into resistance, often by force, and had to learn the hard way that the land of New Mexico in those days was a bit more complicated. Charlotte Wittenkamp – Shift by Ethan Kross. Kross examines Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and the notion that we always have the freedom to choose how we respond - even to the atrocities Frankl had to put up with in a WWII concentration camp. Kross examines and supports, with scientific findings, various ways we can shift our perspectives to gain easier access to that freedom of choice. Paul McNichols – E-Boat Alert by James F. Tent. The book offers a nearly forensic yet highly readable analysis of the threat posed by the E-Boats of the German Kriegsmarine to the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944. It covers the development, use, strengths, and limitations of these fast, maneuverable craft, as well as their impact on the Normandy landings on D-Day and the weeks thereafter. The most interesting part is the chain of events that ultimately led to their neutralization. Annette Taylor – My Name is Chellis, and I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization by Chellis Glendinning. Chellis writes affectionately and respectfully about eco-psychology and nature-based peoples from whom members of Western Civilization could learn a lot. Sue Inches – The Light Eaters – How the unseen world of plant intelligence offers a new understanding of life on earth by Zoe Schlanger. A thrilling journey that leads the reader from an old paradigm of plants as separate inanimate objects, to the true nature of plants as sensing, alive beings who communicate with the world around them. An inspiring example of how human understanding of the world around us is making progress! Rich Gassen – The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. Priya teaches us how to have better parties, events, and relationships through her writing. I used this book's information (along with her podcasts) to plan a better 10-year anniversary party for the Campus Supervisors Network community of practice I lead at UW-Madison — making it exclusive, inviting, and tailored to those who attended. Mac Bogert – Renegades by Robert Ward. After some time as a college professor, Bob decided to try journalism. He spent twenty years interviewing folks from Waylon Jennings to Larry Flynt, and, damn, he's good at it! Hunter Seim – Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The novel is set during World War II, from 1942 to 1944. It mainly follows the life of antihero Captain Yossarian, a U.S. Air Force B-25 bombardier. The term "Catch-22" itself refers to a paradoxical situation in which contradictory rules or circumstances trap a person. In the novel, Yossarian discovers that he can be declared insane and relieved from duty if he requests it, but by requesting it, he demonstrates his sanity. Remarkably accurate in describing organizational dysfunction and bureaucratic absurdity. It was the perfect book to read in 2025. Bill Whiteside – I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally. I wondered whether this memoir by a New York restaurateur (who hates the word "restaurateur" and much else), who suffered two strokes and survived a suicide attempt, would live up to its social media hype. It does.

Back in January 2020, Rufus sat down with Priya Parker — a conflict resolution specialist who's worked on peace processes around the world — to talk about her book The Art of Gathering. What she told him changed how we think about every dinner party, every work meeting, every family get-together we host. Priya's argument is simple but radical. She says most of our gatherings fail because we focus on the wrong things. We obsess over the menu, the playlist. And we ignore the one question we should be asking: Why are we bringing these people together? With the right answer to that question, she says, you can turn any gathering into something meaningful — maybe even transformative.

From college dorms to quiet suburbs, fentanyl's reach no longer fits a stereotype. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee confront the reality of a Providence College house party that nearly claimed seven young lives. Together they discussed the chemistry, economics, and criminal psychology behind modern synthetic drugs, showing how a single white powder can conceal a fatal mix, and how dealers prioritize profit over safety. These drugs do not discriminate; they affect every community, every family, and every socioeconomic group. For parents, this episode serves as a reminder that prevention begins long before a crisis. Awareness, honest conversation, and early education remain the most powerful safeguards against tragedy.
