Antarctica experiences six months of darkness every year, but God is not absent from this desolate place. Brett Baddorf spent nine months as a missionary in the South Pole, and he saw God in the grandeur of the night sky and in taking time to withdraw from normal life. He also found that others on the station were open to spiritual conversations and wrestling with their faith. In this edition of Sunday Afternoon Reads, Brett narrates his 2017 cover story “Lord of the Night.” We hope this journey to Antarctica is a balm to your winter blues.

NBA All-Star Weekend was this close to being declared dead—until Victor Wembanyama flipped the entire vibe, shamed everybody into competing, and turned a “jumped-the-shark” event into must-watch hoops. On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why the All-Star turnaround matters, what it revealed about the league's real hierarchy, and why Adam Silver's public tough talk (including the nuclear “eliminate the draft” idea) lands as hollow compared to the era of David Stern.Ric also dives into the league's messy optics: tanking, gambling partnerships, half-empty arenas, influencer-first priorities, and the growing sense that the NBA's “brand showcase” is replacing the game itself—right up until Wemby decided otherwise.Then Ric shifts to the off-court theater: Stephen A. Smith flirting with a presidential run (and why sports platforms + politics are a dangerous credibility cocktail), plus Ric's take on LeBron James' retirement fog—including a wild, hypothetical endgame that involves NBA expansion, Las Vegas, and a final-season father-son spectacle with Bronny James.Time Stamps / Chapters00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” + where to find Ric Bucher 00:41 — Ric's new book: The Value of Being Coachable (pre-order info) 01:20 — United We Cast Network shows: Full Court Passport, Finding the Seams, Pacific Rims 02:03 — Was All-Star Weekend cooked?

A good way to evaluate scientific theories of origins is to ask what we'd expect to find if the given hypothesis were true and compare that to what we actually observe. Under a Darwinian explanation of life, we'd expect to see designs cobbled together by a blind, undirected process, substandard designs that work but that, in the words of one scientist, wouldn't win any prizes at an engineering competition. But when we compare that expectation with the scientific evidence, they don't match up at all. On today's ID The Future, award-winning British engineer and designer Stuart Burgess reads excerpts from his new book Ultimate Engineering. He's going to share just enough with you today to whet your appetite for reading his book, which is chock full of evidence that humans and other organisms contain countless examples of not just so-so, not just good or very good, but optimal engineering in the design of systems and structures that keep living things alive.

We often hear from book club members who are interested in finding the right picks for their reading groups. Today Anne explores a deliciously fun twist on this idea with guest Madeline Janney, an early intervention speech therapist with a unique community-based hobby you'll hear more about today. This year, Madeline and her mom are forming a book club of two in their hometown of New Orleans. And, they'd love to pair their to-be-read list with discussions at the local restaurants they've been dying to try. Madeline would love Anne's help to find books they can enjoy reading together every month, and is especially hoping for ideas on how to slightly structure their conversations.  She and Anne explore books that suit the small space where Madeline's reading tastes overlap with her mom's. We hope you enjoy listening in today—find the list of titles mentioned and share your recommendations for Madeline at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/514.

This week on Claiming Zero, I'm reading and reacting to two very honest Reddit threads — one from the Reddit community r/regretfulparents and the other from r/childfree.In the first post, parents were asked: “Are you envious of your childfree by choice friends?" And they did not hold back. Commenters talked about:Watching childfree friends travel freelyHaving disposable incomeBeing able to focus on their relationships moreHaving time, autonomy, and flexibility and so much moreThen I flipped the script. In the child-free thread, someone asked: “Does anyone regret not having kids?” Some people admitted fears around:Being ostracized by familyThe fear of loneliness later in lifeNot having someone who depends on you and moreThis episode isn't about who made the “right” choice.It's about honesty. What do people actually say when they feel safe enough to tell the truth? And what can we learn when we listen without defensiveness?Support the showEmail: claimingzeropodcast@gmail.comIG/FB: @claimingzero

The family says they received a message. The FBI says there's been no verified kidnapper contact. The sheriff said the footage was gone forever. Then it appeared.We asked Robin Dreeke to read every public voice in this case and tell us who's being straight. Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. His career was determining when communications are authentic, when they're managed, and when silence is the most important signal.We asked him to assess the family's four escalating videos and what the pattern reveals about what they believe is happening versus what's being communicated behind the scenes. We asked about the ransom notes — sent to media outlets, not the family, containing insider details but no proof of life and no way to respond. We asked whether the sheriff's complete reversal on the footage fits a genuine error or deliberate information management. We asked what the FBI releasing evidence through the director's personal X account with no press briefing tells us about their posture.And we asked about the silence after the ransom deadline. No follow-through. No proof of life. No verified contact. We asked Dreeke what that absence reveals about the reality of this situation.Both deadlines have passed. The Bitcoin wallet sits at zero. One ransom demand was already confirmed as a fraud — Derrick Callella of California admitted he sent fake texts just to see if they'd respond. He's been charged federally with no connection to the disappearance.The search radius is not expanding. Septic tank searches. Manholes behind the property. A vehicle towed from the garage. Hours inside the home of Nancy's daughter Annie. No suspects have been named and all individuals are presumed innocent. But the physical footprint tells its own story.#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #DeceptionDetection #RansomNotes #FBIAnalysis #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonKidnapping #NarrativeControl #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post and it connected with me right away. I didn't have to read it again (although I did), but it's one that I hope each and everyone of you connect with and remember the truth from this post. It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “You become truly unstoppable when you invest in what no one can take from you: your character, your habits, your mindset, your discipline, your resilience, and your attitude.”  This is something that empowers me to do more, to keep getting better and to keep putting my focus and energy into these things that I truly do control. The big time key is that you can do the same for yourself. You don't need anyone's permission to work on these areas. I don't either - other than myself. I need to get out of my way to take care of these things every day. I'm fired up about it. Hope you are too for you! Speaking of being Fired Up - Here is the link to the John O'Leary interview with Rudy Ruettiger - from the movie, RUDY.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Two of the biggest cases in the country. One defense attorney who sees what the public does not. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down the Nancy Guthrie investigation and the Alex Murdaugh appeal — and what both cases reveal about the gap between official narratives and investigative reality.In the Guthrie case, Motta walks through a crime scene that was released and re-entered four times, digital evidence with no video to support it, a sheriff saying no suspects while deputies conduct forensic photography at a family member's home, and a ransom situation that has already been contaminated by confirmed imposters. The Guthrie family has posted four escalating video pleas and offered six million in Bitcoin. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone suggests they have heard nothing. Trump previewed a coming "solution." Motta explains what the evidence and the silence tell a defense attorney.On Murdaugh, oral arguments hit Wednesday with Becky Hill's perjury in the record and the defense arguing the wrong legal standard was applied. If the conviction is reversed, the defense has the full first trial transcript. The financial crimes motive evidence may be excluded. The forensic case has gaps — no DNA, no prints, no blood. And Murdaugh is already serving 67 combined years on financial crimes. Motta explains whether the AG's office actually retries.Bob Motta gives the defense attorney's read on both — and explains what you are not being told.#NancyGuthrie #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #GuthrieRansom #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #BitcoinRansom #CatalinaFoothills #DefenseDiariesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great recipe for living a great life. It has 3 parts, which for me is easy (still tough for me) to remember and connect with. This gem comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it reminds me of going after and building a “great” life that is made up of my definition and not so much of what the “world” says our life should be made up of. Awesome quote here: “The only way to achieve greatness in life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.” -  David Goggins (who wrote a powerful book, “Can't Hurt Me” which I read last year).  This is connected with a few other items that have been on my mind and heart that I want to share in a few future episodes.  Those 3 items of patience, consistency and discipline are things that I have been connected with and sometimes focused on - but usually not connected together and not as deep as I need to be focused on. Again, intentional focus is something that I need to connect with these 3 items for sure!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

From late-night reading marathons to the chokehold of enemies to lovers, this episode is a love letter to stories that feel too much. I'm joined by BookTok creator @Landry_Reads to talk about reading habits, iconic book tropes, romance dynamics, and why storytelling makes us believe in love, even when it's fictional. We get into why tension matters, how tropes shape emotional payoff, and what makes a romance unforgettable. Warning: this episode will add at least five books to your TBR.

“Send Coach John a message”I found this gem from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it is a short, yet powerful thought… “Consistency is the silent engine of extraordinary results.” Every day. Every way to just keep going!!  It's one of those things that again, nobody has to know about what you are doing or how often you are doing them. Those that love you will know without you even telling them. It's a reminder to me to keep doing what I have to do every day. It's a choice to keep showing up to do the things I know I have to do. It's my honor to keep being my best in being a dad, husband, son, uncle, brother, etc. I can't take any of those roles for granted. Wow.. love this thought!  Something to carry with us wherever we go!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **
