Wie das in Worte und Bilder fassen, was selbst betroffene Personen nicht fassen können: In seinem autobiografischen Roman „Die Welt im Rücken“ beschreibt der Schriftsteller Thomas Melle, wie ihn seine psychische Krankheit isoliert und an den Rand der Gesellschaft getrieben hat. Himmelhoch jauchzend, zu Tode betrübt; gefangen zwischen manischen Schüben und Depressionen. Die Diagnose: Bipolar. Regisseurin Lucia Bihler hat den schweren Stoff jetzt am Schauspiel Stuttgart auf die Bühne gebracht. Ein Stück wie ein Rausch, bei dem Inszenierung, Musik und Bühnenbild zu einem fulminanten Ganzen verwoben sind. Besonders bemerkenswert: Die großartige Darbietung von Hauptdarstellerin Paulina Alpen.

Dank der Gewissensprüfung für den Zivildienst kam Urs Mannhart zum Schreiben. Ethische Fragen beschäftigen ihn als Autor wie als Landwirt. Im Schlachthof sei er der Einzige, der heulen muss. Konventionen kümmern ihn ebenso wenig wie die Frage, wie er mit seinen beiden Berufen sein Brot verdient. «Ich lebe mit viel, einfach nicht mit viel Geld», sagt Urs Mannhart, der den Wechsel zwischen Gummistiefeln und Schreibtisch als Privileg empfindet. Er brauche viel Bewegung; seine Beine würden vom Bücherschreiben allein nicht glücklich. Darum arbeitet er als Landwirt in Teilzeit und war früher im Zweitberuf Velokurier. Heute fährt er, als Ausgleich zum Schreiben, Ultracycling-Rennen. Warum er diese Extremform des Radsports liebt, die ihn an den Rand der Erschöpfung führt, und gleichzeitig vom langsamen Wiederkäuen der Kühe schwärmt, erzählt Urs Mannhart in «Musik für einen Gast». Die Musiktitel: 1. Jethro Tull - We Used To Know 2. Tom Waits - Goin' out west 3. Yo la Tengo - From Black to Blue 4. International String Trio – Tchavolo Swing (From «Latcho Drom») 5. Maya Johanna: When the Sky 6. Duke Pearson - Wahoo

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Rand Selig, accomplished entrepreneur, coach, scoutmaster, board member, and roll-up-your-sleeves conservationist, to talk about his book Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life, and having the power to make choices about how to live and change, leading to enhanced vitality, a sense of purpose, and even reach our full potential. Are you Thriving? It's not about money and material things. Our society has a problem of not knowing what is enough, and we tend to constantly want to compare ourselves to others. Rand reminds us to be superior not with your fellow man but with your former self. The trick about aging well is vitality, not longevity, and that involves having a purpose all the way to the end and being emotionally healthy. Embrace what you can control, everything after that is only about influence. Learn to clean your relationships and finish your business with other people as early as you can. Find out about writing an ethical will to those you love. Thrive with yourself, with others, with the world, and by moving ever forward in your life! Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with MLB's announcement that is going to a challenge system on balls and strikes in 2026.

Republicans and the EV Debate: From Party of Intellect to Road of Reckless Reasoning? Are the Republicans still the party of intellect? John and Andy address this question by delving into the EV controversy and its evolution into a left-versus-right issue. John critiques an interview by someone on the right who claims to be an automotive expert. This conversation highlights how some Republicans have joined the road of reckless reasoning. The conversation quickly shifts from politics into a rapid-fire showdown on EV myths. What's the real cost to charge at home, and why do owners say they barely touch their brakes? Are the batteries fragile or built to last 200,000 miles? Could a $25,000 EV actually out-accelerate a high-performance gas car, even at 11,000 feet? From one-pedal driving that feels futuristic to surprising truths about maintenance, resale, and winter performance, caller Rand pushes for answers, and John delivers insider details you won't hear anywhere else. Before you dismiss EVs—or the conversation around them—listen in and ask yourself: are you sure you know what you're missing? Find out more at https://rushtoreason.com or https://drive-radio.com

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Rand Timmerman—retired attorney, recovered alcoholic, Vietnam veteran, and author—about his life-changing journey hiking the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail at the age of 72. With an artificial knee, past trauma, and a backpack full of memories, Rand set out to support his grieving brother and ended up rediscovering himself. This episode is a deeply moving exploration of grief, resilience, addiction recovery, and the spirituality found in nature's wildest places. Whether you're struggling with age, addiction, or doubt—Rand's story proves it's never too late to begin again. About the Guest:Rand Timmerman is a former Marine Corps officer, attorney, and author of A Spiritual Passage, a photo-journal memoir of his 6-month hike through the Appalachian Trail. Now sober, he speaks openly about addiction, PTSD, and spiritual healing later in life. Rand's work offers hope to anyone feeling stuck, broken, or too old to chase transformation. Key Takeaways: At 72, Rand hiked 2,200 miles to help his grieving brother and discovered his own healing. Recovery is possible at any age—sobriety, service, and nature helped him reclaim purpose. The Appalachian Trail revealed emotional and physical limits—and how to push beyond them. Addiction is not a moral failure; understanding its biological basis changes the path to healing. Spiritual connection and surrender were critical in maintaining peace and sobriety.

 This is a rebroadcast of ep. 194In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie and Mike take a deep dive into the film Darkest Hour, starring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill, set in the tense days before the Nazi invasion of the United Kingdom during World War II. We explore how Churchill's leadership illustrates the value of cognitive diversity—bringing different perspectives, problem-solving styles, and viewpoints together to navigate crisis situations.Our conversation connects the lessons of the past to today's challenges, showing how cognitive diversity applies not only to wartime leadership but also to modern political decision-making, organizational strategies, and personal growth. We touch on related themes such as Rand Paul's independent thinking, the impact of masking requirements on public debate, and the role of YouTube in shaping political and cultural discourse.If you're interested in psychology, politics, history, and how diverse minds can solve complex problems, this episode offers a unique libertarian perspective on one of the most powerful historical dramas of recent years.Follow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

This week's episode was a ride through everything from neighborhood drama to yogurt overlords, with plenty of science and sci-fi sprinkled along the way.   Real Life  Ben kicked things off with Five Nights at Freddy's—because apparently, jump scares are just how he likes to unwind. From there, he veered into a wild story involving a crossing guard, a flag man, and threats from a community member that had us questioning if this was real life or the start of a low-budget thriller. Devon had politics on his mind (as he often does), and let's just say it was… cathartic. Steven closed his section with a review of Mickey 17 (yes, the Bong Joon-ho movie starring Robert Pattinson), finally finishing Rick & Morty, and then going deep into the concept of an Alien Earth. Meanwhile, Ben reminded everyone to get your COVID booster while you still can. His advice? If you need to, just say you have asthma. “Who's gonna check?” he asked. (Don't tempt fate, Ben.)   Future or Now  Ben brought us back to his favorite corner of the internet: The Weird Wide Web. This time he found: A Pigeon Hadron Collider (yes, it exists), Computer shoes (also real, somehow), And a store that generates anything you type (Hacker News link here) Devon turned things more serious with some big Mars news. NASA's Perseverance rover collected a sample called Sapphire Canyon from an ancient riverbed, and it could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life. NASA's announcement and the coverage highlight the discovery's potential—though, as Devon pointed out, politicians are already trying to spin credit in ways that don't hold up. Steven brought us back to Earth (sort of) with the rise of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs. Harvard Health explains how they work, while a new RAND report, shows nearly 12% of Americans have already tried them. Effective? Yes. Side effects? Also yes.   Book Club  This week we read “When the Yogurt Took Over” by John Scalzi (link here), which you may know from its animated adaptation in Love, Death & Robots. Short, weird, and oddly plausible—because if dairy products do overthrow humanity, it's probably our fault. Next week: we're tackling Edward Bryant's “giANTS” (1979), which you can find here. Prepare yourself for some very big bugs. Devon also dropped some knowledge about Sean Carroll's The Particle at the End of the Universe, tying our sci-fi chat back to real physics.   That's the roundup! Between pigeons smashing atoms, yogurt world domination, and Mars microbes, it was one of those episodes where the line between real science and sci-fi got blurry—and we loved every minute of it.  

What does it mean to truly thrive as a leader? Rand Selig, veteran investment banker and founder of Selig Capital Group, shares how he left Wall Street to design a firm—and a life—built on intention. By limiting his clients to five at a time, he created space to be present with family, serve his community, and still build an award-winning company.Rand highlights the difference between management and leadership. Management is about efficiency, but leadership ensures the ladder is leaning against the right wall. Leaders articulate the “why” that inspires people and then step aside to let talent thrive. His four career sabbaticals also reconnected him with purpose and prevented burnout.True leadership means living by values, not external expectations. Are you climbing the right wall? Do your people feel they get to work or that they have to? Thriving personally allows us to create the conditions for others to thrive as well.

https://grandtheftworld.com/ 00:00:00 – Meeting Richard Grove Warm intro with Richard Grove: Pittsburgh roots, shoes and job-site footwear, then straight into Grove's history with John Taylor Gatto and how Gatto's ideas on schooling-as-indoctrination reshaped his worldview. Personal stories about helping Gatto after his stroke and preserving his work. 00:10:00 – Gatto's Legacy & Foundation Power Recap of Gatto resigning as NY Teacher of the Year; the Reese Committee, Norman Dodd, and how Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford foundations nudged policy and education. Language, printing press, and information control as the real levers of power. 00:20:00 – Multi-Generational Networks Banks and industrialists funding both sides of conflicts; the supra-political layer above parties and nations. Grove demos his research “Brain” map and traces threads through RAND, CFR, common core authors, Rhodes scholars, and Anglo-American planning. 00:30:00 – Wilson's Warning & Debunking Debunkers Woodrow Wilson's “shadow power” passage and how quotes get straw-manned online. How “fact-checks” poison the well by refuting claims no one actually made—keeping the real discussion off-limits. 00:40:00 – Money, Markets, and the Trivium Goldbacks and parallel money at liberty festivals; why cartelized finance isn't “capitalism.” Education deliberately omits the Trivium (grammar → logic → rhetoric), creating literate but uncritical citizens. Reframing learning as input/process/output. 00:50:00 – Empire by Other Means UK DCDC future-war documents; the British Empire's evolution into a covert commonwealth model using U.S. power. Cecil Rhodes's plan to pull America back into the imperial fold via a cadre—seed of the Rhodes Scholarships. 01:00:00 – The Will of Rhodes Grove details Rhodes's will, the Rothschild link, and how Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Talbott, etc.) shape U.S. institutions. “From cowboys to gentlemen”: reforming American attitudes to match British elite preferences. 01:10:00 – Occult, Culture, and Soft Power Fabian socialists, spiritualist circles, and mystery-school currents around British politics; cultural capture from lawns to the British Invasion. Occult motifs and “initiated” knowledge as social glue for elites. 01:20:00 – Becoming a Whistleblower Grove's Sarbanes–Oxley compliance work; discovering audit-trail backdoors that let firms erase records; pushback, retaliation, and years of litigation. How lived experience hardened his stance against institutional corruption. 01:30:00 – 9/11 Anomalies Deep Dive Pentagon inconsistencies, missing (orange) black boxes, and security-cam gaps; “Pilots for 9/11 Truth” (Rob Balsamo) analyses; the “dancing Israelis” arrest and quiet deportations. Media scripting vs. physics and flight-path questions; drills/foreknowledge discussions and why these details still matter. 01:40:00 – Epstein, Pizzagate & Media Lines They hash through the Epstein network and culture's selective outrage: UK's Savile cover-ups vs. U.S. media skittishness; social feed reactions; speculation about Trump's possible informant role; Clinton associations. The broader theme: blackmail, intelligence services, and why cases like these get memory-holed. 01:50:00 – Assange, Censorship & Platforms Assange's background and the years in the Ecuadorian embassy; intelligence community pressure and narrative-management. Broader talk on censorship, de-platforming, alt-video (e.g., Odysee), and keeping shows listener-supported. Tease for live podcasting and how/why independent media survives. 02:00:00 – Skills, Autonomy & Sign-Off Grove's path from 2006 podcasting to building communities and courses (AUTONOMY): teaching durable skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial value creation. Invitation to listeners: learn the method, find your people, make a meaningful living. Thanks and goodbyes.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a report Wednesday that Kirill Kaprizov turned down an eight-year, $128 million contract extension offer from the Wild that would have been the richest deal in NHL history.

How did the Bears stop J.J. McCarthy early, how did he adjust, and what should we think about the Vikings' defense? 33:00: An interestingly big game for the Lynx tonight.

Introduction: After spending most of Monday night's postgame podcast talking about J.J. McCarthy and his ability to lead the Vikings back to a 27-24 win, host Michael Rand tries to get into a lot of non-QB topics at the start of Tuesday's show. Among them: injury concerns, special team standouts and Jordan Mason's ability. 15:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand to discuss his recent interview with pitcher Joe Ryan, who lamented that the Twins didn't re-sign Sonny Gray two offseasons ago. How did the conversation come about, and what does it say about the future of Ryan and the Twins? 31:00: J.J. McCarthy had a happy homecoming, and so did Royce Lewis.
