The Caribbean port city of Veracruz is many things. It is where the Spanish first settled and last left the colony that would go on to become Mexico. It is a destination boasting the “happiest Carnival in the world,” nightly live music, and public dancing. It is also where Blackness is an integral and celebrated part of local culture and history, but not of the individual self. In Local Color: Reckoning with Blackness in the Port City of Veracruz (University of California Press, 2025), anthropologist Karma F. Frierson follows Veracruzanos as they reckon with the Afro-Caribbean roots of their distinctive history, traditions, and culture. As residents learn to be more jarocho, or more local to Veracruz, Frierson examines how people both internalize and externalize the centrality of Blackness in their regional identity. Frierson provocatively asks readers to consider a manifestation of Mexican Blackness unconcerned with self-identification as Black in favor of the active pursuit and cultivation of a collective and regionalized Blackness. Karma F. Frierson is Assistant Professor of Black Studies at the University of Rochester. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

Like many public institutions across the UK, the Guildhall school of music has had to reckon with a past where abuse by staff was either ignored or dismissed. So when a second former student came forward to tell The Observer's Vanessa Thorpe their story, this time from the 1990s, how would the institution respond?Reporter: Vanessa ThorpeProducer: Ada Barumé Artwork: Lola WilliamsEditor: Jasper Corbett Hosted on Acast.

America is facing a crisis far more dangerous than partisan politics: a collapse of competence across government, media, and political leadership. In this year-end monologue, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how institutional failure has become normalized, why government increasingly creates problems instead of solving them, and how media tribalism has replaced journalism. From unchecked fraud and broken oversight to elite institutions that cannot perform their basic functions, Professor Giordano explains why public trust is eroding and why even Republicans have failed to deliver meaningful reform. This episode is a sober assessment of where America stands heading into 2026 and what must change if the country is to remain serious, functional, and free. Episode Highlights • How government incentives now reward failure, protect incompetence, and punish accountability • Why the media abandoned journalism for tribal loyalty and helped conceal institutional collapse • A hard look at Republican leadership, internal fractures, and the failure to translate power into reform

Send us a textEP 266 -Today's show covers explosive developments you need to know about. Ghislaine Maxwell filed a habeas corpus that could potentially freeze the Epstein estate and prevent more damaging documents from leaking - and the timing with new Bill Gates photos surfacing alongside emails showing Epstein discussing young models from Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2 management is raising serious questions. Wait until you hear which powerful people this could protect and why Chrissy Teigen's name keeps coming up in my mind. Jen Shah's day in the life of home confinement, I'm breaking down exactly how her ankle monitor works and why she's wearing long pants everywhere. In Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, something serious went down - Meredith Marks may have been suspended during an investigation into the plane incident with Brittani Bateman, the cast is allegedly pushing for her demotion, and there are contract negotiation rumors, which I tell you where they come from. Plus Brittani Bateman's engagement ring was given back by Jared Osmond and then stolen in a bizarre incident involving Melissa Gilbert is this some how connected. I recap and do a gossip dump of RHOSLC S6 Ep 14. For the Diddy Reckoning docuseries, I'm fact-checking Kirk Burrows' allegations about Biggie and Tupac's murders because a Rolling Stone insider is saying major parts of the story are wrong, and wait until you hear what they completely left out about Clive Davis. The Diddy trial PR machine was working overtime manipulating jurors through social media and bloggers - I'm exposing exactly how they did it. We recap RHOSLC episode 14 and discuss the disturbing WEHO Abbey sex trafficking allegations. Plus Princess Sammy announces her engagement with a 39-carat ring and a proposal story involving a swan attack in Geneva that you have to hear to believe..Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeyTIME CODE HIGHLIGHTS:

Developmental-behavioral pediatrician Ronald L. Lindsay discusses his article, "A pediatrician's reckoning with behavior therapy." He shares his profound professional and personal pivot, moving from a decades-long focus on measurable goals to understanding the deep trauma and harm caused by applied behavior analysis (ABA). Ronald explains why he now supports the #BanABA initiative, detailing how the therapy often prioritizes compliance over communication and normalization over neurodiversity, particularly for nonspeaking autistic individuals. He calls for a shift away from coercive behavioral interventions, which were driven by insurance mandates, toward dignity-centered alternatives like DIR/Floortime and robust AAC support. Learn why this pediatrician is unbuilding his legacy to advocate for autistic voices and ethical, trauma-informed care. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

December 19, 2025: Workers are hesitating before changing jobs. Parents are questioning whether college is still worth the cost. Talent shortages persist even as hiring slows. And U.S. regulators are signaling a major shift in how companies approach DEI. In this episode, we explore six key future-of-work stories shaping how people think about careers, education, productivity, and fairness at work. From new data on job mobility and workforce policy to early recession signals and changing attitudes toward vocational paths, these stories reveal a workforce moving from confidence to caution—and from slogans to systems.
In this special bonus episode closing out Season 11 of The Remarkable Retail Podcast and the year 2025, hosts Steve Dennis & Michael LeBlanc complete the second half of their annual predictions review—one of the most popular and anticipated episodes of the year. The episode opens with brief but timely discussion on two high-profile retail-adjacent experiences. First us Dennis shares insights from Amazon's first-ever grocery analyst day in Seattle, offering a clearer picture of the company's “one grocery” vision and it's already substantial online presence, now being accelerated as they invest in same day deliver of perishable items.The conversation then turns to Netflix House, following Dennis's visit to the newly opened Dallas location, the second of three that are planned. Positioned in a former department store anchor, Netflix House blends immersive experiences, branded merchandise, gaming, and a restaurant. While customer traffic was encouraging, Dennis offered a frank critique of execution, citing confusing layouts, weak wayfinding, and inconsistent merchandising. The takeaway is cautiously optimistic: the concept has potential, but it is not yet operating at the level that would warrant significant expansion.The core of the episode is Part 2 of Dennis' annual predictions reckoning. Dennis revisits his forecast that department stores would continue “running to stand still,” awarding himself an A-minus as most banners remain stuck in negative or flat comps with limited progress on profitability. His prediction of significant change at Target earns a B-plus, correctly anticipating leadership transitions and the end of the Ulta partnership, though anticipated store closures did not materialize.Dennis also scores highly on his prediction that store closures would once again exceed store openings in the U.S., driven by bankruptcies and retrenchment across drugstores, mid-market apparel, and specialty retail. Predictions around Amazon's physical grocery strategy are largely validated, while expectations for a surge in retail dealmaking and IPO activity fall short, earning a candid C-minus.The episode closes with a nuanced reassessment of the so-called “Ozempic recession.” While the term itself overstated the impact, Dennis and LeBlanc agree that GLP-1 drugs are reshaping consumption patterns—particularly in food, alcohol, and apparel—with long-term implications retailers can no longer ignore.

We got something cool for episode 1001! Props to Katie Cline at the Skift Suite Success: Masters of Hospitality podcast for this one. I joined an end-of-year roundtable with some of the most thoughtful voices in hashtag#hospitality media to reflect on what actually mattered in 2025 and what could reshape 2026. Huge thanks to everyone who brought real perspective (and disagreement) to the table:
A raw, reflective journey through the political upheavals, personal reckonings, and hard-won hope of 2025. Episode Summary Corey takes us on a tour of 2025's most pivotal moments—both in politics and in his own life. He recounts the Trump administration's controversial actions, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and civic responses like the No Kings Rallies. Interwoven are deeply personal stories: Corey's mental health struggles, the loss of a friendship, and a psychotic break that led to crucial self-reflection. But it's also a celebration: of the TP&R community, of new collaborations with Pew Research Center and Weave, and of the many courageous conversations shared on the pod.

On December 7, 2023, executive producer Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, announced that he was developing a Sean Combs docuseries and that proceeds from the project would go to victims of the sexual misconduct allegations against Combs. Before hiring Alexandra Stapleton to direct the series, Jackson had been working on the project for five months, looking for people close to Combs who were willing to "speak and tell the truth". Cassie Ventura, Combs's former partner, was invited to participate in the series, but declined. However, Jackson stated that he personally spoke with Ventura and her husband, Alex Fine, "to understand how things transpired" with Combs. Netflix announced production of the series on September 25, 2024, one week after Combs was arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Jackson and Stapleton said: This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs' story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture's broader contributions. The series features clips of Combs in the days before his 2024 arrest, prompting questions over how Jackson and Netflix acquired the personal footage. Stapleton stated, "It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights."We have a PATREON! click on link below to check out the extra content.PatreonPlease SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and give us a 5-star review.We are on Instagram and TikTok @psychlegalpopEmail: psychlegalpoppodcast@gmail.comCheck out our YouTube Channel!#seancombsthereckoning #seancombs #diddy #pdiddy #puffdaddy #puffy #seanpuffycombs #seanpdiddycombs #seandiddycombs #cassieventura #kimporter #jlo #albsure #aubreyoday #makingtheband #danitykane #documentary #pdiddydocuseries #netflix #netflixdocumentary #netflixseancombsthereckoning #netflixpdiddy #netflixdiddy #badboyrecords #seancombstrial #psychology #attorney #therapist #law #lawyer #popculture #popularculture #truecrime #truecrimepdiddy #truecrimediddy #notoriousbig #biggiesmalls #tupac #tupacshakur #sugeknight Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textStart with a candid reality check: the leading HR association just lost a racial discrimination and retaliation case, and the verdict wasn't small. We unpack what an $11.5M judgment against SHRM means for credibility, compliance, and the daily work of HR practitioners who've been told to trust the “authority” voice on fairness and DEI. If the standard-bearer fails its own standard, how should we rethink where we place our time, money, and learning?We walk through the essentials: what the plaintiff alleged, how the court weighed treatment and retaliation, and why the optics of a hard push to appeal could prolong pain without repairing trust. Then we get practical. If dues and big-tent conferences aren't delivering real value, how do we build a better PD stack? We talk labor and employment law briefings, focused workshops, and choosing events that sharpen practice rather than inflate brand. Expect an unvarnished lens on HR keywords that matter right now—DEI credibility, retaliation risk, workplace investigations, and organizational accountability.To lighten the load, we run an AI-assisted tour of our own year: weaponized incompetence finally clicking for teams, HR through pop culture that teaches better than white papers, and a grab bag of unhinged workplace moments we handled with restraint. We also call time on rage-bait content and the algorithm that rewards outrage more than insight. Our answer isn't performative—just better habits, clearer choices, and PD that respects your attention.If you care about ethical HR, compliance that actually works, and professional development that pays off, this one's for you.

They also talk about the jury outrage, the Cassie situation, and why people often prefer the more entertaining lie over the truth. From there, the conversation expands into the ugly realities of the music business: bad contracts, 360 deals, “opportunity” vs fair pay, and why artists keep signing anyway.They close with a real message: fame can make people accept deals and compromises they'll regret later, and in the end—knowledge, lawyers, and accountability matter.Tap in, and let us know in the comments: is the culture being consistent… or just picking sides?Support the show: Like
One of the most anticipated episodes of The Remarkable Retail Podcast returns as Steve Dennis reviews and grades his annual retail predictions, offering a candid assessment of how the industry actually performed as 2025 unfolded. Known for balancing optimism with accountability, Dennis evaluates where macro forces, technology shifts, and retailer execution aligned—or diverged—from expectations.The episode opens with its regular news of the week segment, highlighting economic crosscurrents shaping retail performance. Despite multiple interest-rate cuts, housing-linked categories such as home improvement remain under pressure, with Home Depot forecasting modest growth at best. Tariffs emerge as a recurring headwind, squeezing margins for retailers like AutoZone and casting a long shadow over sourcing, pricing, and inventory strategies heading into 2026.Then its on to Part 1 of the predictions reckoning portion.A central theme is the continued rise of retail's “super-scalers.” Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and a small cohort of dominant players once again captured a disproportionate share of industry growth, reinforcing the idea that scale, price leadership, and operational excellence matter more than ever in a value-constrained consumer environment. Dennis argues that this concentration is not cyclical, but structural, driven by convenience, pricing power, and omnichannel capability. SPECIAL OFFER for our listeners!

In this episode, we open with a vibrant discussion on music and culture, starting with a playful but honest debate: Were Swizz Beatz's songs actually good? From there, we explore which producers crafted the most classic sounds of the early 2000s and share our dream collaborators from that era—a nostalgic look at when hip-hop production was evolving fast. We then shift into the latest headlines: - 2 Chainz's son lands a sneaker deal, sparking a conversation around generational wealth and brand building. - Kim Kardashian dressing as Kendrick Lamar—is it homage, marketing, or crossing into culture vulture territory? Entertainment Industry & Power Conversations This episode's centerpiece is a deep, unfiltered breakdown of the Diddy documentary, The Reckoning. We unpack the allegations, the industry structures that enabled them, and what accountability truly looks like in entertainment. That leads into a provocative hypothetical: Who would you rather sign with—Suge Knight or Diddy? We dissect the risks, rewards, and reputations surrounding two of the most controversial power brokers in music history. We also tackle the question: When does cosmetic surgery cross the line into “too much”? A real conversation about body image, pressure, and authenticity in the public eye. Streaming, Business & Media Moves Big corporate news this week as we discuss the Warner Brothers + Netflix acquisition and what it means for the future of content, intellectual property, and consolidation. We also debate the longtime cultural question: Did Netflix kill movie theaters—or did sky-high ticket prices do the real damage? A breakdown of consumer behavior, economics, and changing viewing habits. Sports News Rundown We cover a series of major sports updates: The growing conversation around coaches and background checks—what responsibility do leagues have, and are current systems enough? Chris Paul's release from the Clippers, what it signals for his legacy, and potential landing spots. A celebration of PVAMU winning the SWAC, and what this means for HBCU athletics. Closing: Real-Life Reflections We wrap with a raw and thoughtful discussion: When family cuts ties, is it wrong? A conversation about boundaries, healing, and redefining relationships as adults.

Jon Herold opens the week with firsthand reflections from the Kansas Reckoning event, where he emceed, met grassroots election activists, and spent time speaking with Matt Gaetz. Jon shares candid impressions of Gaetz, the gap between political rhetoric and on-the-ground election realities, and the growing frustration of citizens fighting entrenched systems with little institutional support. The episode weaves personal experience with broader analysis, touching on election fraud, political demoralization, and the danger of black-pilling an already exhausted public. Jon then moves into the news cycle, covering executive orders on AI and proxy advisors, developments around Ukraine and global power blocs, high-profile shootings and media narratives, DOJ and FBI corruption disclosures, and cultural flashpoints driving division. Throughout the show, Jon emphasizes discernment, accountability, and the need to stay engaged without losing integrity as the information war intensifies.
The new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning is igniting a firestorm — not only for its graphic accounts of alleged abuse, but for what former Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims happened behind the scenes financially. One allegation in particular is shaking viewers: that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly charged the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. for the costs associated with his funeral, even as he publicly positioned himself as the devastated best friend mourning a national tragedy. But the documentary doesn't stop there. Across four episodes, The Reckoning lays out three decades of alleged financial exploitation involving major Bad Boy artists — from Craig Mack, the label's first breakout star who died broke after struggling to escape his contract, to producer Lil Rod Jones, who says he was paid just $29,000 for producing an entire 2023 album. Interviews, journals, and firsthand accounts suggest a long-running pattern of lopsided deals, silenced artists, and power structures designed to keep money flowing in one direction. This episode breaks down the key allegations from the Netflix doc, including Burrowes' journals, the claims surrounding Biggie's travel schedule before his death, what insiders call the “March 9th ritual,” and the reactions from those who worked closest to Combs. We also examine reporting from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, NBC News, and Mark Curry's 2009 memoir Dancing with the Devil, which outlined similar concerns long before this documentary was ever made. Combs denies all allegations, calling the documentary a “shameful hit piece.” He is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence on two Mann Act convictions and is appealing his case. He has never been charged in connection with the deaths of Biggie or Tupac and maintains his innocence.

In this episode, I share the deeper psychological lessons inside the new Diddy documentary, not to debate guilt or innocence, but to understand the human systems that create cycles of power, harm, silence, and attachment. This isn't a Hollywood story or an industry story. It's a human story. The documentary made Diddy feel more human rather than less, and that's what makes it so unsettling. When you look closely at the incentives, the grooming, the rewards, the fear, the validation, and the primal drives behind the behavior, you start to see a spectrum that exists in all of us — the universal instincts for status, belonging, intimacy, dominance, and connection. I also talk about Cassie, Kirk Burrowes, and the partners who stayed inside that ecosystem, not to blame but to understand the psychological gravity of coercive control. When we understand the forces acting on people — the love-bombing, the fear, the dependency, the identity fusion — we gain clarity on why people stay, why people participate, and why some people break free. This video is ultimately about human nature, accountability, restraint, and how to build relationships where love and power don't collapse into each other.
