If your days feel like a relentless sprint—from school drop-offs to late-night routines—you're not alone. In this short and powerful solo episode, I open up about the challenges of maintaining intimacy, presence, and intention in marriage when life gets overwhelmingly busy. With fall sports, kid activities, and work responsibilities piling up, it's all too easy to slip into “roommate mode” with your spouse.   But here's the truth: Strong families start with strong marriages. I share three deeply practical ways to create micro-moments of connection, build intentional rituals, and avoid emotional drift. Whether it's through a 30-minute walk, a forehead kiss, or a late-night two-minute check-in, this episode is your reminder that you're not just co-parents—you're still each other's chosen partner.     Episode Highlights   [0:00] - Introduction [1:05] - Why strong marriages are the foundation of strong families [2:55] - The common trap of prioritizing everything but your marriage [4:46] - The September-October “whiplash” that hits most parents hard [5:43] - Celebrating the release of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood [8:19] - How an unbalanced focus on your kids can erode your marriage [10:09] - The power of micro-moments: texts, sticky notes, forehead kisses [12:31] - Creative date ideas (even when time is scarce) [14:29] - Why sometimes the world has to suffer—but your marriage shouldn't [15:14] - End-of-day rituals that spark closeness even in exhaustion [17:41] - The compound interest effect of tiny deposits in your marriage [18:03] - You are more than a co-parent—you're still her Casanova [19:13] - A free 21-day email series to help you build an extraordinary marriage [20:54] - Final rally cry: be uncommon, be legendary     5 Key Takeaways   1. Strong Marriages Build Strong Families When your marriage is thriving, it naturally strengthens the emotional climate of your entire home. Don't neglect the foundation. 2. Micro-Moments Matter More Than Grand Gestures A quick kiss, a thoughtful note, or a midday “thinking of you” text can do more for connection than elaborate plans you never get to. 3. Busy Seasons Are Inevitable—Disconnection Isn't Just because life is chaotic doesn't mean your relationship has to suffer. Intention and awareness are your defense against emotional drift. 4. You're Still Her Lover, Not Just Her Co-Parent The role of “dad” is important—but don't forget you were her partner first. That romance needs nurturing, especially when time is tight. 5. Investing in Your Marriage Pays Long-Term Dividends Like compound interest, the small daily investments you make in your marriage build a future of closeness, trust, and enduring partnership.       Links & Resources     Get your copy of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood + two free courses: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook Join the Dad Edge Alliance (Elite Brotherhood): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Explore the Dad Edge Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/businessboardroom Free 21-Day Email Series: 3 Marriage Skills at a Time: https://thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage/       If this episode helped reignite your drive to be more intentional in your marriage, please rate, follow, and review the show.

We meet an unusual hiker this week. Ken Posner has been a long-distance runner and hiker over the years, yet he has gradually morphed into a barefoot runner and hiker. Ken and I discuss this–to me–bizarre footwear choice, and he makes a compelling case for the advantages of barefoot walking. Ken has also taken on the fascinating project of “The Grid” in New York's Catskill Mountains, whereby he hikes each of over 30 mountains in every month of the year. This entails over 400 ascents, and the ability to see those mountains in changing weather and terrain as the year develops. Ken has written a terrific book about his pursuit of “The Grid,” which you can find here at Chasing the Grid: An Ultrarunner's Physical and Spiritual Journey in Pursuit of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge . You can learn more about Ken and his barefoot walking at his website, Barefoot Ken and the Long Brown Path . I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %.

In this stunning episode from the mountains of Austria, Nancy shares a personal reflection on the true “Sound of Sons”—a sound born not from spotlight moments but from the secret, surrendered, and often silent place of abiding in the Father. As she prepares to travel again through Europe, she reminds us that the path of mature sonship comes with joyful limitations, not limitless ambition. Through conversations around small tables, glimpses of divine timing, and the cadence of heaven, this episode is a call to live attuned to the Father's rhythm. The sound of sons is rising—will it come from you? Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

This week we have a very special guest: Robert Malley, a veteran American diplomat and Middle East expert. From advising President Clinton at Camp David to serving as President Obama's top White House official for the Middle East and then as Biden's Special Envoy for Iran, Malley has spent decades at the heart of U.S. diplomacy. Today he joins Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic to discuss his new book, Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine.Malley begins the discussion with an arresting suggestion: that the war in Gaza has brought Palestinians and Israelis back to where they were before 1948 — before the twentieth century, even. Looking back at the Oslo Peace Process, Malley argues that liberal peacemaking was too dismissive of those who are motivated by history or faith. Yet it is precisely those attachments — Zionism's pull toward Eretz Yisrael, the Palestinian longing for the right of return — that define the conflict's soul. Any peace plan has to take these deep yearnings into account from the get-go.Shadi insists that resilience itself has become the Palestinians' act of resistance. Their struggle, refracted now through moral discourse and digital mediation, animates the conscience of a younger America. He predicts that one day this generation will alter U.S. policy in a way that may make peace truly possible — by putting significant pressure on Israel to make concessions it has rarely been willing to make. Malley wonders how one persuades a people that their yearning is wrong; Shadi replies that after genocide, there is no moral equivalency between the competing narratives. And Damir reminds everyone that peace without victory is only surrender.Given its timeliness — Israel and Hamas are currently deciding whether to adopt Trump's Gaza peace plan — we are making the episode free for all subscribers. The tail end of the episode has several golden moments: Robert discusses the details of Trump's peace plan; Shadi asks Robert why he thinks that October 7 was “Palestinian to the core”; Robert explains his support for the Abraham Accords; the real problem with the blockade and sanctions on Gaza; Shadi asks what Obama really believes about the conflict; “Obama is a speech that has been cut mid-sentence”; why Obama's presidency hurts Shadi more than Trump's; “Something fundamentally rotten about the foreign policy establishment despite their pretense to morality?”; some Bernie nostalgia; and more!Required Reading:* Robert Malley and Hussein Agha, Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine (Amazon). * Elliott Abrams, “There Never Will Be a Palestinian State.

Syria's Search for Stability: Security Deals, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Impact Guests: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Syrian President al-Sharaa's focus on stability and his pursuit of a security agreement with Israel. Negotiating away the Golan Heights is considered a non-starter for al-Sharaa's survival, as his father, Hafez Assad, is often seen as the man who lost the territory, and al-Sharaa would be domestically labeled a traitor by all segments of the Syrian population, including hardliners. A full peace agreement is out of the question, but a limited security agreement might be possible, allowing Israel to maintain its presence in the Golan Heights while potentially withdrawing from areas entered after the fall of the Assad regime. The end of the war in Gaza is expected to expedite negotiations between Syria and Israel toward a security deal, as it affects the optics of al-Sharaa making such a move in the Arab world. Al-Sharaa's main priority is removing Israeli presence and stopping Israeli air strikes inside southern Syria 1920 ALEPPO                                                 ,

Are you feeling bloated, tired, or stuck with stubborn digestive issues—even though you're doing “everything right”? From probiotics to digestive enzymes, it seems like every influencer is promoting a new supplement that promises better gut health, more energy, and effortless weight loss. But here's the truth: not every supplement is helping you—and some could actually be making your symptoms worse. In this episode, I sit down with Steven Wright, founder of Healthy Gut, to unpack what's really going on with supplements like probiotics, enzymes, and paraprobiotics. We'll explore how to choose the right ones for your body, the science behind “dead” probiotics that support immune and brain health, and why sequencing your supplements could be the missing link in your healing journey. If you've ever felt confused standing in the supplement aisle or frustrated that your probiotics aren't working, this conversation is going to give you the clarity you've been craving. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why your probiotic might be making your bloating, IBS, or fatigue worse—and how to know when to stop taking it. • The surprising truth about “dead” probiotics (paraprobiotics) and how they can actually calm your immune system and support brain health. • The difference between digestive enzymes taken with meals versus on an empty stomach—and how that timing can completely change your results. • Why sequencing your supplements matters: when to use probiotics, when to focus on enzymes, and when to let your gut rest. If you're tired of guessing what your body needs, this episode gives you a grounded, science-backed framework to make smarter supplement choices. You'll walk away understanding how to support gut health, energy, metabolism, and hormone balance—without wasting money on supplements that don't serve you. We cover everything from IBS, bloating, histamine intolerance, and brain fog to how chronic stress and inflammation influence digestion. You'll learn why fixing your gut is about timing, awareness, and the right tools—not just piling on more pills. Ready to simplify your supplement routine and finally feel better from the inside out? Listen now to uncover the truth about probiotics, enzymes, and the smarter way to heal your gut. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.

Have you ever felt a surge of anger or anxiety so suddenly it almost scared you? Like that moment when a simple request from your child suddenly sends a wave of frustration through you. We've all been in that place, and the guilt that follows is just as heavy.I had a deeply comforting conversation with Misty McFadden about this exact struggle. As a mom of four, she spoke openly about her own journey through seasons of anxiety and feeling completely overwhelmed by her emotions. She opened up about how, even with strong faith, there were times when everything felt overwhelming, and it was hard to keep going.In our talk, we walked through some of the most helpful perspectives she's learned:Why "I don't know why I'm so angry!" is usually a lie we tell ourselvesHer super simple "brain dump" trick that stops the mental spin cycle in under two minutesHow our emotions and our faith are totally meant to work together, and what it really means to "guard your heart"This is one of those chats that makes you feel normal and gives you a real, tangible next step.

In this episode we reveal how the infamous Kinderhook Plates—once hailed by Joseph Smith as an ancient record—turned out to be a deliberate 19th-century hoax that exposes the cracks in Mormonism's prophetic claims.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --In 1843, Joseph Smith—the founder of Mormonism—was handed what looked like an ancient discovery: six mysterious brass plates unearthed in Illinois. But the “Kinderhook Plates” weren't ancient at all; they were a deliberately crafted hoax designed to test Smith's prophetic gift. In this episode, we uncover the full story—how the plates were forged, why they were presented to Smith, what he claimed about them, and how the LDS Church eventually admitted they were fake. More than a quirky historical footnote, the Kinderhook Plates pose a serious question about the foundation of Mormonism and the claims of its prophet. We'll also point you back to the solid ground of Scripture and the simple gospel of Jesus Christ.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The backstory of the Kinderhook Plates and why they were createdHow Joseph Smith responded and what he claimed they revealedEvidence from eyewitnesses, later confessions, and modern scientific testing proving the plates were man-madeHow the LDS Church's position on the plates has shifted over timeWhat the Bible says about testing prophets and why Jesus—not any modern prophet—is God's final revelationWhy This Matters:This isn't just an old scandal.

In this real-time episode recorded from a hotel restaurant across the Nuremberg airport, Nancy shares the raw, in-motion experience of walking through delays, detours, and divine development while traveling through Germany and Austria. What started as a cancelled flight turned into a lesson in spiritual formation as Nancy invites listeners into the everyday training ground of true sonship—where holy desire, flexibility, and obedience are forged through ordinary circumstances. This episode is a vivid reminder that God is not looking for perfect conditions—He's waiting to be wanted. And as we step deeper into the holy shift of this hour, the question remains: will we live as those truly being made ready? Thanks for Listening!

In this third edition of the Truth Warrior Roundtable, we sit down with David Whitehead and Matt Presti to tackle one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory — the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shockwaves it sent through the “truth” community. We break down the reactions on both the left and the right, the flood of conspiracy claims surrounding the event, and how Israel once again became a central point of debate in the aftermath.This conversation goes beyond headlines to address the deeper war on consciousness itself — why people struggle to hold uncertainty, the consequences of irresponsible speech, the role of faith and resilience in times of tragedy, and how to stay grounded in evidence and individualism rather than clickbait and emotional manipulation.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:36) Opening Conversation(03:25) Guest Introductions(09:12) Discussion on Current Events and Truth Seeking(11:14) Reactions to Charlie Kirk's Assassination(17:19) Conspiracy Theories and Media Influence(42:00) Candace Owens(47:35) The Importance of Reason and Truth-Seeking(50:02) The Role of Influencers and Propaganda(52:52) The Complexity of Middle Eastern Politics(56:21) The Roots of Antisemitism and Historical Context(01:02:36) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: Philosophical Differences(01:11:42) The Talmud Misconceptions(01:15:27) The Dangers of Collective Blame(01:30:50) The Pursuit of Truth vs. Being Right(01:32:07) The State of America and Government Actions(01:34:58) The Influence of Communism and Historical Parallels(01:36:40) Metaphysics vs. Physical Solutions(01:39:07) The Role of Religion in Society(01:42:39) Concerns About Christian Revival and Theocracy(01:51:12) The Power of the Individual vs. The Collective(01:56:47) Closing Thoughts on Individuality and FreedomGuest Linkshttps://www.dwtruthwarrior.com/ https://dwtruthwarrior.substack.com/ https://mattpresti.substack.com/ https://www.mattpresti.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysWatch Joel's Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Peter Boyles talks with Larimer County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Hart. Hart was Shot after a Motorcycle Pursuit in Fort Collins back in March of this Year. The full story of The Pursuit, The Shooting, The Response, and What happened next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wild police pursuit tore through downtown L.A. as an assault suspect on a motorcycle weaved dangerously in and out of traffic. In South L.A., police arrested a woman after discovering a body inside a car at a tow yard. At Dodger Stadium, one four-legged fan stole the spotlight — Tiger Rocco, the dog whose owner runs the Palm Springs Dodgers Nation Fan Club. Meanwhile, a San Ramon jewelry store robbery suspect had bail set at a staggering $8 million. Later in the show, retired USAF Colonel and former NASA astronaut Terry Virts joined us to talk about his run for U.S. Senate in Texas and where he stands on key issues. 

Ben Howe's brewing career reads more like that of a chef than a typical brewer—stints in Denmark, brewing jobs on both the East and West coasts, weeks spent interning at breweries that intrigued him—but one fateful visit to the Zehender brewery in Monchsambach opened his eyes to Franconian lager and inspired a nearly decade-long quest to understand the beer and its mechanisms of flavor. More recently at Otherlands (https://www.otherlandsbeer.com), he's pushed boundaries of accepted brewing dogma, mashing with pH levels far past any sensible range in an effort to build color and flavor—and the things that shouldn't work still obviously do work. In this episode, Howe discusses both his traditional methods and modern concessions, including: learning from Will Meyers and Megan Parisi at Cambridge Brewing capturing Franconian-ness in long-boiled lager beers old-style vs. new-style German lager brewing kräusening to carbonate rather than spunding before terminal never raising the temperature for a diacetyl rest while using ALDC to control precursors finding color with only pilsner malt hardening water for lager brewing with calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and gypsum mashing above 5.8 pH maintaining atmospheric pressure for yeast during fermentation boiling large amounts of low-alpha hops for a long time to build flavor and texture And more.

In this timely episode recorded in Germany, Nancy invites listeners into a raw, real-time reflection on desire, distraction, and the great chill overtaking much of the Church. As she reads from A.W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God and speaks from her own journey through Europe, Nancy calls sons back to their source—oneness with the Father. She confronts the temptation to let others do our seeking for us and reignites the call to holy desire. Whether you're standing at a threshold or crossing it, this message is a stirring invitation to return to the path, fueled not by insecurity or performance, but by the jealous love of God who waits to be wanted.

Welcome back to the podcast! We've all heard them. Little phrases that sound wise, comforting, or even spiritual—but they're not true. In this series, we'll uncover some of the most common believable lies people buy into about God, life, and faith.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --Believable Lie #3: God Won't Give Me More Than I Can HandleIt sounds comforting to say “God won't give you more than you can handle,” but it's not true. In fact, the Bible teaches the opposite. Paul admitted he was “crushed and overwhelmed beyond his ability to endure” (2 Corinthians 1:8). Why? Because God never intended us to handle life on our own. He allows more than we can bear so that we'll finally lean on Him. The promise isn't that we'll never be overwhelmed—the promise is that we'll never be abandoned.The Misunderstood VerseThis lie comes from a misreading of 1 Corinthians 10:13. The verse isn't about suffering—it's about temptation. God promises He won't let temptation be more than we can bear, and He always provides a “way out.” But suffering is different. Sometimes we really do face more than we can handle.The Truth About TemptationTemptations are real but not irresistible. Israel's history proves this: some fell, others stood firm—not because temptation was weaker but because God was stronger. Endurance is possible, not by willpower but by God's faithfulness (Hebrews 2:18, James 1:12, 2 Thessalonians 3:3). God's “way out” can be changing your environment, fighting back with Scripture, or reaching out to others for help.The Truth About SufferingUnlike temptation, suffering may indeed overwhelm us. Paul admitted he faced trials he couldn't endure on his own (2 Corinthians 1:8-9). Yet suffering teaches us to rely on God, not ourselves. It drives us into the arms of Jesus and into the comfort of His people. God comforts us so that we can comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:4).The Big PictureGod may give us more than we can handle, but He will never give us more than He can handle. Trials push us to depend on Christ, to lean on our church family, and to prepare the next generation to do the same. Suffering will come. But Christ is enough.

As a girl in England, Jane Goodall dreamed of traveling to Africa to study animals in the wild.  In 1960, that dream brought her to Tanzania, to observe the wild chimpanzees at Gombe Stream Park. As she describes in this episode, other scientists did not believe that a young woman could survive alone in the bush, but Jane Goodall did more than survive. Her work revolutionized the field of primatology.  She was the first to document chimpanzees making and using tools, an activity that had been thought exclusively humans. Over the years she also witnessed cooperative hunting and altruism, but also brutality and even warfare among chimps. Her work, the longest continuous field study of any living creature, has given us deep insights into the evolution of our own species.  Since the 1980's, she has devoted herself single-mindedly to educating the public worldwide about the connections between animal welfare, the environment, and human progress.  (c ) American Academy of Achievement 2017

In this episode, we explore the four main parenting styles—authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved—and look at how each one impacts children, while offering biblical wisdom to help parents raise kids God's way.--The PursueGOD Family podcast helps you think biblically about marriage and parenting.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --Parenting is one of the most important roles in a person's life, and it significantly shapes the development and well-being of children. Over the years, psychologists and researchers have identified four primary parenting styles, each characterized by different levels of warmth, control, and communication. Understanding these styles can help parents recognize the potential outcomes of their approaches and make more informed decisions about how they raise their children. See this article. The four main parenting styles are:Authoritarian ParentingAuthoritative ParentingPermissive ParentingUninvolved ParentingEach of these styles affects children differently, influencing their emotional, social, and cognitive development.1. Authoritarian ParentingAuthoritarian parents are often seen as strict, controlling, and demanding. They set high expectations for their children, emphasizing obedience and discipline above all else. Communication tends to be one-sided, with little room for dialogue or flexibility. Rules are enforced with little explanation, and punishment is used as a means to maintain control.Key Characteristics:High demands and expectationsLow responsiveness to the child's emotional needsEmphasis on obedience and disciplineLimited communication and explanation of rulesEffects on Children: Children raised by authoritarian parents often develop a strong sense of discipline and respect for authority but may also struggle with self-esteem and decision-making. They may become either overly submissive or rebellious, depending on their temperament. Social skills can be underdeveloped, as they may not feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings openly.Biblical Response: Authoritarian parenting emphasizes strict rules and discipline, often with little room for discussion. While discipline is important, Scripture also encourages understanding and wisdom in its application.Ephesians 6:4 – "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."Colossians 3:21 – "Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged."2. Authoritative ParentingAuthoritative parenting is widely regarded as the...

What if the secret to confidence, peak performance, and even happiness wasn't about being perfect all the time—but learning how to access a powerful brainwave state on demand? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Izzy Justice—neuroscientist, performance coach, and author of Your Brain Swings Every Club—to explore the science of brainwaves, trauma, and what he calls “Chasing 10 Hertz.” You'll hear how endurance events, emotional relativity, and even micro-traumas shape confidence, how to intentionally “spike down” into presence, and why your brain's electricity is the language of the human experience. Dr. Justice breaks down how confidence and pessimism are simply access issues, why sensory input is the key to flow, and how to simplify your pursuit of peak performance in golf, business, and life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing hard things expands your benchmark for confidence and resilience How trauma—both big and micro—acts as the ultimate backdrop for your decisions The neuroscience behind brainwave states and their impact on performance What makes the 10 Hertz state so powerful and how to access it How to “spike down” when stress or distraction takes over Why happiness is really about amplifying sensory input A practical way to simplify performance by only being “perfect” twice a day Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Trauma is the ultimate benchmark—it shapes risk perception more than success does. Electricity is the brain's language—high spikes drown sensory input and sabotage performance. 10 Hertz is the sweet spot—it amplifies sensory input and unlocks stored knowledge. Presence = sensory amplification—seeing, feeling, hearing more deeply in the moment. Flow isn't magic—it's measurable through brainwaves, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Be “perfect” twice a day—reserve your energy for the two most important moments instead of chasing constant perfection. Key Quotes: “Confidence and pessimism aren't traits—they're both access issues.” “We don't have to be perfect all the time—just perfect in the moments that matter.” “Electricity is the language of the brain—and therefore the human experience.” “Your trauma is your hostage, but you can use it as fuel instead of shackles.” “At 10 Hertz, sensory input is amplified and your best self shows up.” “Happiness isn't about possessions—it's about amplifying what you feel, see, and hear.” “The best experiences of our lives always happen in the same state—why keep it a secret?” Time Stamps: 00:00: The Allure of Ultra-Endurance Events 02:34: Emotional Relativity and Personal Growth 05:45: The Role of Trauma in Personal Development 08:32: Happiness and the Pursuit of Meaning 11:25: Amplifying Sensory Input for Fulfillment 14:15: Understanding Brainwave States and Performance 27:12: Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Performance 28:49: The Power of 10 Hertz in Enhancing Sensory Input 31:39: Cognitive Functionality and Accessing Memory 37:41: Flow State: The Intersection of Performance and Presence 40:38: Perception of Time: How We Experience Moments 47:26: The Role of Substances in Achieving 10 Hertz 51:47: Actionable Takeaways for Achieving Peak Performance

The politicalization of the Department of Justice took a new turn last week when US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced an indictment against Trump nemesis and former FBI head James Comey.

As a child reader, I always thought it was so quaint that "dinner" was this old-timey word for lunch.  It was a "Dinner Pail"  - which was a crude Indian Tiffin - only 1 chamber - vs. a Lunch Box.But I had never spent any tme thinking about why and how Dinner was the big meal of the day, and supper was toast dipped in cooling stew.Until I thought about it in terms of cooking in the dark.  When the sun goes down at 4:25 pm, why was anyone making all manner of food they can't see!?But - the Whale as Light in the early 1800's started to make it's mark.  Sure factories were changing the rhythm of life, but without artificial light to support the change, it never would have taken.The age of sail was also the Age of the Pursuit of the Whale.So come join the chase.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Having been raised in Los Angeles, a place with vast swathes of single-family homes connected by freeways, arriving in Costa Rica was an eye opener for the young cultural anthropologist Setha Low. “I thought it was so cool that everybody was there together,” she tells interview David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast. “… Everybody was talking. Everybody knew their place. It was like a complete little world, a microcosm of Costa Rican society, and I hadn't seen anything like that in suburban Los Angeles.” That epiphany set Low, now a distinguished professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, onto a journey filled with the exploration of public spaces and a desire to explain them to the rest of the world. This trek has resulted in more than a hundred scholarly articles and a number of books, most recently Why Public Space Matters but including 2006's Politics of Public Space with Neil Smith; 2005's Rethinking Urban Parks: Public Space and Cultural Diversity with S. Scheld and D. Taplin; 2004's Behind the Gates: Life, Security and the Pursuit of Happiness in Fortress America; 2003's The Anthropology of Space and Place: Locating Culture with D. Lawrence-Zuniga; and 2000's On the Plaza: The Politics of Public Space and Culture. Low is also director of the Graduate Center's Public Space Research Group, and has received a Getty Fellowship, a fellow in the Center for Place, Culture and Politics, a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a Fulbright Senior Fellowship, and a Guggenheim for her ethnographic research on public space in Latin America and the United States. She was president of the American Anthropological Association (from 2007 to 2009) and has worked on public space research in projects for the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford and was cochair of the Max Planck Institute for Religious and Ethnic Diversity's Public Space and Diversity Network.

Tommy & Ben grit their teeth and dive into Trump's rambling, insulting address at the United Nations and fact-check his ridiculous claim that he solved seven wars. They cover Trump's proposed bank bailout for Argentina, his threat to re-invade Afghanistan, Pete Hegseth's crackdown on journalists' access to the Pentagon, and Russia's continuing incursions into NATO airspace. They also discuss a trio of immigration stories: the administration's new goalposts for high-skilled H-1B visas, the ending of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians, and the chilling deportation order for Mahmoud Khalil. Finally, updates on America's rogue attacks on alleged drug boats off the coast of Venezuela, a potential new approach to nuclear negotiations with North Korea, how French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte are fighting back against conspiracy theorist Candace Owens, and potential U.K. Prime Minister Nigel Farage's incredibly undignified side hustle. Then, Ben speaks with Robert Malley, co-author of the new book Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine, about the failures of the peace process under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the recent move by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state, and what a path to peace could look like beyond a two-state solution.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
