Podcasts about prodigies

A Note from James:Oh my gosh, one of my favorite guests ever: Ben Mezrich.Ben wrote Bringing Down the House, which became the movie 21. He wrote The Accidental Billionaires, which became The Social Network. And now his latest page-turner, Checkmate, is about one of the most explosive scandals in modern sports: the Hans Niemann chess cheating controversy that took over the world.You remember the story. Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player of all time, loses to this completely arrogant, egotistical 19-year-old bad boy of chess. Then Magnus accuses him of cheating. This had basically never happened before at that level in chess.What followed was a viral meltdown: the infamous anal beads tweet, death threats, lawsuits, chess.com, Netflix documentaries, and a chess world at war with itself.Ben spent over a year with Hans Niemann. He got access to Magnus's camp, chess.com, and the drama behind the chessboards. So we talk about whether Hans actually cheated that day, the insane rise of online chess during COVID, the world of prodigies, the generational clash inside elite chess, and how one suspicious game nearly destroyed a young player's career.So welcome to one of my favorite guests, Ben Mezrich.Episode Description:James talks with bestselling author and screenwriter Ben Mezrich about Checkmate, his new book on the Magnus Carlsen–Hans Niemann chess cheating scandal. It's classic Mezrich territory: brilliant young people, high-stakes competition, huge money, a gray area between genius and rule-breaking, and a story that becomes much bigger than the facts alone.The conversation is especially strong because James knows the chess world firsthand. He was a master-level player, helped build early internet chess infrastructure, knows many of the top players, and has commentated on Norway Chess. That gives the interview a different texture: Ben brings the reporting and the narrative access, while James brings the chess context and the ability to test the story move by move.They talk about Hans's rise, Magnus's suspicion, chess.com's cheating algorithms, why online cheating is different from over-the-board cheating, the role of the infamous anal beads tweet, and the psychological cost of being publicly accused without definitive evidence. The question underneath the whole episode is not just “Did Hans cheat?” It's: what happens when reputation, genius, technology, money, and suspicion all collide on one chessboard?What You'll Learn:Why the Carlsen–Niemann scandal became a global story far beyond the chess world.How Ben Mezrich got access to Hans Niemann, chess.com, Magnus's camp, and the hidden details around the scandal.Why cheating online is easier to detect than many people think, while over-the-board cheating may be harder to catch.Why Magnus's accusation is both serious and complicated, even without definitive public evidence.How the anal beads rumor actually started—and why it turned a chess controversy into an internet phenomenon.Why Hans Niemann's comeback to elite chess is so unusual after that level of reputational damage.How Ben thinks about stories involving ambition, genius, scams, gray areas, and young people breaking rules.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Preview: Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen, and the cheating accusation[02:59] A Note from James: Ben Mezrich returns[04:17] James's chess background and connection to the story[04:45] Ben's year embedded with Hans Niemann[05:00] Why elite chess players have such unusual personalities[05:42] Why chess carries cultural weight[06:15] Why the scandal exploded worldwide[07:44] Chess.com, streaming, and the billion-dollar chess economy[08:12] The Mezrich formula: genius, ambition, gray areas, and scandal[09:49] Online cheating vs. over-the-board cheating[10:29] Why technology has changed cheating in chess[11:44] The reputational risk of cheating over the board[12:37] Why top-20 chess status matters financially[13:12] Hans Niemann's unusually fast rise[14:00] COVID, online chess, and Hans's obsessive tournament grind[15:49] Suspicious patterns, livestreams, and uncertainty[17:09] Hans's history of online cheating[17:33] Hans living alone in New York as a teenager[18:42] Not getting into Harvard and resetting his life around chess[19:35] James admits he may have been the first person to cheat online[20:42] Why cheating can help build a streaming reputation[21:29] How chess.com detects online cheating[22:04] Magnus's gut feeling after the Sinquefield Cup game[23:19] Magnus's state of mind before playing Hans[24:00] The photographer incident no one knew about[25:19] Magnus confronting the photographer[26:47] Hans's body language during the game[27:32] Why Magnus felt “nobody plays me like this”[28:08] Hans's explanation of the win[29:00] The psychological battle between Hans and Magnus[29:43] Magnus's breakfast with Danny Rensch before the game[31:00] Why prior online cheating changes how opponents experience the board[31:39] Hans's belief in a “chess mafia”[32:44] Hans spiraling after the accusation[34:30] The mental health cost of cheating accusations[35:07] How the anal beads rumor became the whole story[35:41] Ben tracks down the source of the viral tweet[37:54] Could Magnus and Hans ever respect each other?[38:16] The rematch and Magnus's decisive win[39:13] Prodigies, aging, and being replaced[40:28] Why Ben thinks Magnus still believes Hans cheated[41:10] Magnus wanting to confront Hans directly[42:00] Henrik Carlsen, old-world chess honor, and suspicion[43:26] How cheating might have been possible at Sinquefield[44:49] The theory of an accomplice and the limits of evidence[46:00] Chess.com's report and what it did—and didn't—prove[47:14] The suspicious post-game interview[48:10] Why accusation without proof is still dangerous[49:45] Aging, rating decline, and the future of elite chess[51:13] Could Hans Niemann ever become number one?[52:00] Psychology, killer instinct, and the gap between top 10 and number one[53:05] How Hans makes money now[54:08] Turning chess into a stadium sport[55:33] The movie adaptation with Nathan Fielder, Emma Stone, and A24[57:35] Ben's next projects: The Social Reckoning and The Last Orbit[59:21] Ben and James on Billions[59:39] Closing thoughts on chess, storytelling, and CheckmateAdditional Resources:Checkmate: Genius, Lies, Ambition, and the Biggest Scandal in Chess by Ben MezrichBen Mezrich's official websiteChess.com's interview and coverage of Mezrich's CheckmateChess.com's 2022 Hans Niemann reportNetflix's Untold: Chess Mates, the documentary on the Carlsen–Niemann scandalFIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission decision related to the Carlsen–Niemann controversyBringing Down the House, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into 21The Accidental Billionaires, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into The Social NetworkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it truly mean to be a “prodigy?” For the poet, professor and author of The People Can Fly Joshua Bennett, the answer is complicated. But maybe telling stories can help. In The People Can Fly, Bennett explores the lives and legacies of Black prodigies throughout history — including himself — by blending memoir, folklore and history into one book. In today's episode, Bennett joins NPR's Michel Martin to discuss how fatherhood and brotherhood expanded his notions of intelligence, and how The People Can Fly is both a reflection of the past and a hope for the future. To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode, we react to a recent article on how to beat chess prodigies and what adult amateurs tend to get wrong when facing underrated kids. We break down practical strategies like avoiding tactical chaos and forcing long, patient games. If you've ever sat down across from a 10-year-old and immediately felt in trouble, this one's for you.

-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsAlex returns for his monthly Run Down to unpack five recent essays that challenge how we think about talent, training, and long-term development in running.First, he explores why most prodigies don't ultimately make it at the highest level. Early success, he argues, often masks structural weaknesses. That theme flows directly into the case for delaying specialization. The athletes who diversify early, build broader movement skills, and avoid constant pressure to peak as teenagers often develop deeper physical and psychological reserves later on. From there, Alex highlights what he calls the most common training mistake runners make. It's not a lack of effort, but misapplied intensity. Many athletes spend too much time in the gray zone: running moderately hard too often, never fully easy and never truly hard.The final pieces focus on tendon health: one of the most overlooked performance variables in the sport. Tendons adapt more slowly than muscles and lungs, yet they ultimately determine durability, power transfer, and long-term ceiling. Alex discusses why progressive loading, patience, and intelligent structure matter more than chasing fitness spikes.Across all five essays, one idea connects everything: sustainable success in running is built over years, not months. Whether you're a young athlete, a competitive adult, or a coach guiding others, this conversation reframes what it really means to develop. Tap into the The Run Down Recap Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word“PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore a fascinating report published in Science examining nearly 35,000 elite performers. The surprising conclusion? Many of the world's most accomplished musicians, scientists, athletes, and chess masters were not early prodigies. In fact, early specialization often predicts burnout rather than lifelong excellence. That challenges modern parenting. In a culture that pushes optimization, early reading programs, elite travel teams, and accelerated academics, many parents feel pressure to help their children get ahead and stay ahead. But what if early polish is not the same as deep potential? What if rushing specialization actually limits exploration? Dr. Kathy unpacks the deeper motivations behind our desire for prodigious children. Sometimes it's fear. Sometimes it's pride. Sometimes it's a longing for ease. And sometimes it's the subtle temptation to tie our identity to our children's performance. The conversation moves beyond academics into identity formation. When competence becomes the foundation of a child's worth, the pyramid flips upside down. Security, not performance, must come first. Children thrive when they know they are loved unconditionally, when their identity is anchored in Christ, and when their gifts are discerned rather than demanded.

The world is getting weirder every day… We need weirdness specialists. Maybe the best guy for the job is my friend, the brilliant “metashaman” (and possible octopus) Layman Pascal. In his own words, Layman “used to be a Canadian meditation teacher, yoga instructor & philosopher of Integral Metatheory but he's feeling much better now.” He leads the Metamodern Spirituality Labs, hosts The Integral Stage, Soulmakers+, and (forthcoming) Untegral Stage podcasts, and provides unique online courses. He is also a founding member of several think tanks in the developmental psychology and spirituality space, senior editor of Emerge online & is allied to numerous institutes across the field. In addition to many journal and anthology articles, he is the author of Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds, Sex, Death & the Occult, as well as an upcoming book about Nietzsche. Layman is known for his philosophical work on the metaphysics of adjacency, complex nonduality, coaxial developmental stage theories, sacred naturalism, archaic futurism, embodied spirituality & the “integration-surplus model of religion and spirituality” for a post-postmodern civilization facing numerous accelerating and converging crises. In this conversation we cover a lot of ground in a very short time, including: the nature of futurity and how humankind's relationship to the future is changing; how to surf intense peculiarity'; the abiding sociocultural role of “shamanoid” personalities and other useful weirdos; “wartime” mobilization for The Big Us; and other deep and delightful subjects.

PRO S02E20: „Ouroboros, Part 2“ – das Finale macht ernst. Asencia ist besiegt… und genau dann tauchen die Loom auf, weil Raumzeit-Risse offenbar das galaktische Äquivalent zu „Hier gibt's Snacks!“ sind. Chakotay muss die Protostar manuell durch einen Wurmloch-Schwarm steuern, Janeway lässt die Voyager-A einen Weg freischneiden – und als die Navigation ausfällt, übernimmt Cetacean Ops. Ja. Ein Wal. Und es funktioniert. Dann schließt sich der Kreis: Zeitloop zu, Tars Lamora wieder im Bild, Abschiede, Erinnerungen, Holo-Janeway, Wesley Crusher – und plötzlich sind wir mitten im Jahr 2385: Utopia Planitia, Mars, Starfleet im Rückzug. Aber die Prodigies bekommen genau jetzt ihren Auftrag: rausfliegen, helfen, Hoffnung sein. #StarTrekProdigy #OuroborosPart2 #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast #Janeway #Chakotay #VoyagerA #WesleyCrusher #Protostar #USSProdigy

Kafka Hibino is a 32-year-old member of the Professional Kaiju Cleanup Corp. His job as a Monster Sweeper is to chop up and dispose of Kaiju killed by the Defense Force. Kafka was also childhood friends with Mina Ashiro who he made a vow with to join the Defense Force together and protect Japan from Kaiju. However, Kafka failed the entrance exam numerous times and quit on his dreams of being a member of the Defense Force while Mina went on to become the captain of the Defense Force's 3rd Division.Following a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with an ambitious recruit named Leno Ichikawa, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that forces its way in through his mouth—turning him into a humanoid monster.

It would take an entire section of show notes here to list all the things Felicia Day has accomplished in her career. Here's an attempt at making that brief: acted in a bunch of TV shows you know, created and starred in web series, made just so very many online videos, and is now the author and star of an audiobook called Third Eye about someone who is supposed to save the world but fails. In our interview, Felicia talks about doing all those things while dealing with mental disorders like depression and anxiety as well as mental health phenomena like perfectionism and impostor syndrome. We hear about her life as a 20-year-old college graduate/violin prodigy/mathematician trying to make it in Hollywood, about hitting a burnout wall, and about how covid and parenthood slowed her life down.Join Felicia's streams on Twitch by following her at www.twitch.tv/feliciaday.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

PLS NOTE: There is some swearing in this episode and it is not one that is suitable for children.What's it like to be the no.1 12U player in the World? To be the youngest player ever to be signed by the IMG management company. To win a full scholarship to one of the most famous tennis academies in the World.Reckon the future for that player and his family was bright? Fame and riches around the corner?Today's guest, Todd Ley who hails from Adelaide in Australia, was in exactly that position. And has written all about that part of the journey and what happened next in a searingly honest book called Smashed.As you'll hear today, what happened next was not fame and fortune. What came next was darkness and at times despair. A chapter which Todd is now moving on from as he rides the rollercoaster of life working in the world of coaching - and I hope setting down what happened in the book will help him do just that. It has certainly helped me think about the journey we are on as a tennis family and why we are on it. It has helped me gain perspective of what is important and for that I thank Todd.Today's episode may not be easy listening at times, you might not agree with everything Todd says, but do take a listen because Todd's story and messages will I think help our family and our tennis journeys and I hope it will maybe help yours too.Visit Todd Ley's website to find about more about the book and BUY A COPY OF SMASHED NOWThanks to FeedSpot for naming My Tennis Journey as a Top 5 UK tennis podcast - much appreciated!

John Maytham is joined by Craig Ray, sports editor at Daily Maverick, who has spent decades speaking to elite athletes, coaches, and the parents behind the prodigies. He unpacks the haunting testimony of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the painful paradox of success driven by fear, and what lessons all parents can take away—whether your kid is training for the Olympics or just trying to make the school team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'd love to hear from youCould your child's extraordinary talent be a glimpse into a past life? Join me to explore the captivating connections between child prodigies and reincarnation. I delve into the fascinating theories that suggest genius-level expertise and innate abilities in music, art, and other fields might be carried over from past lives. By examining examples such as George Frederick Handel and Shirley Temple, I contrast genetic memory with Edgar Cayce's idea that skills are inherited by the soul. Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful discussions, I aim to inspire you to consider the possibility that achieving mastery might take multiple lifetimes of dedicated practice.Moving deeper into this intriguing topic, I share stories of past life regression and how it can unveil hidden memories that shape our present talents and knowledge.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Caroline Romano over Zoom video!Nashville-based alt-pop sensation Caroline Romano returns with her new single, "girl in a china shop," out on all streaming platforms now.“girl in a china shop” is an emotional rollercoaster of a song. Caroline juxtaposes the song's explosive, untempered chorus with stripped-back, reflective verses. It's a delicate balancing act that only an artist as meticulous as Caroline can pull off.“I often feel like I break everything I touch. I've come to view myself as one major juxtaposition,” says Caroline. “One thing I've learned is that as life moves on, things get broken in the process. Whether it's relationships, or my own heart, I've come to realize that it's all too easy to shatter either one by my own hand. At times it's left me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and with my own footing. ‘girl in a china shop is my attempt at acknowledging that, in a way that summarizes the chaotic feeling that is navigating myself and other's emotions.”At just 22-years-old, the Nashville-based singer and songwriter has repeatedly demonstrated her ability to create anthems that capture the highs and lows of young adulthood. She memorializes her messy, relatable emotions into buoyant, unflinchingly honest songs.In 2022, Caroline shared her debut album, Oddities and Prodigies, to widespread support from tastemakers like EARMILK and Sweety High. She has continued to come into her own with her more mature and intentional alt-leaning sound which she showcased on her 2023 EP, ‘A Brief Epic.' With millions of streams already, and more music on the way, Caroline Romano is an artist whose star will only continue to rise.We want to hear from you!

It would take an entire section of show notes here to list all the things Felicia Day has accomplished in her career. Here's an attempt at making that brief: acted in a bunch of TV shows you know, created and starred in web series, made just so very many online videos, and is now the author and star of an audiobook called Third Eye about someone who is supposed to save the world but fails. In our interview, Felicia talks about doing all those things while dealing with mental disorders like depression and anxiety as well as mental health phenomena like perfectionism and impostor syndrome.
