In this Universal 1934 Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss the original There's Always Tomorrow, starring Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes (remade by Douglas Sirk in the 50s with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck) and the bizarre Claude Rains vehicle The Man Who Reclaimed His Head. The middle-class American nuclear families of the 30s and 50s curiously converge, and future Hollywood Ten screenwriter Samuel Ornitz tries to reclaim his mind from the studio heads (or so we irresponsibly conjecture). And in Fear and Moviegoing, we briefly discuss Bitter Rice, a feminist/Marxist/crime/erotic/neorealist melodrama directed by Giuseppe De Santis.

On this week's episode of Respect Life Radio, Deacon Geoff Bennett welcomes Father Carter Griffin, rector of Saint John Paul II Seminary, to discuss his recent article for the National Catholic Register, “Forming Your Children for Chastity: A Letter to Parents.” Drawing from his years of priestly formation and pastoral experience, Father Griffin shares practical wisdom for parents seeking to raise children with a healthy understanding of love, purity, and human dignity in today's culture. Throughout the conversation, Deacon Geoff and Father Griffin discuss the importance of beginning conversations about chastity early, creating homes rooted in trust and virtue, and helping children understand that chastity is not merely a list of rules, but a path to authentic freedom and love. Father Griffin also reflects on the challenges families face in a hypersexualized culture and offers encouragement for parents striving to lead their children closer to Christ with patience, honesty, and hope. Father Griffin is the author of several books including Why Celibacy, Cross-Examined, Forming Fathers, Forming Families, Forming Saints, and his newest release, Reclaimed.

What happens to your mental health when the person you loved was never fully honest about who they really were?We kick off Mental Health Awareness Month with Week 1 of LOVED, LOST & RECLAIMED — and we are starting with the truth.This episode is built around a real letter sent to Nyomi by a listener who trusted her with one of the most honest accounts of love, betrayal and healing she has ever received. Together with co-host Dogg Pound Mike Mike and health psychologist Dr. Will Washington of Washington Wellness Institute, Nyomi unpacks what it means to love someone who was hiding who they really were — and what that does to your mind, your body and your sense of self.IN THIS EPISODE:- What is betrayal trauma — and why is it different   from regular heartbreak?- The difference between understanding why someone   hurt you and accepting it- Why your body knew the truth before your mind   was ready to hear it- What an unhealthy psyche simply cannot give you —   no matter how reasonably you ask- Mike Mike's real talk on truth, trust and self-love- Dr. Will's framework: "What do I need today   to be who I am?"YOUR HOSTS:Nyomi Banks — Da Goddess of Self LoveDogg Pound Mike MikeDr. Will Washington — Washington Wellness InstituteTHIS MONTH WE ARE SUPPORTING TWO CAUSES:

What happens when a pharmacist of 30+ years realizes the system she was trained in isn't actually helping people heal? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Amanda Yue, PharmD, to discuss her journey from conventional pharmacy to root-cause healing—and the life-changing results that followed. Amanda shares how her 80-year-old mother-in-law, who was facing foot amputation due to long-standing type 2 diabetes, was able to not only avoid surgery—but reverse her diabetes and regain her memory after early signs of cognitive decline. We also dive into Amanda's personal health struggles, including 27 years of psoriasis, leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, and chronic symptoms despite "normal" lab work—and what finally helped her heal. A major part of this transformation came from implementing the Feel Great System, which includes a concentrated yerba mate tea and a fiber matrix supplement. These tools helped address insulin resistance, reduce food cravings, and stabilize blood sugar—unlocking the body's ability to heal. This conversation goes beyond one success story. Amanda explains how the same approach helped improve her entire family's health, from blood sugar and weight to focus and hormonal balance. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is working—this episode will challenge what you've been told and show you what's actually possible when you address the root cause. Amanda's experience as a pharmacist and why patients keep getting worse Her personal struggles with leaky gut, psoriasis, and hormonal imbalance Why "normal labs" don't always mean you're healthy How her 80-year-old mother-in-law avoided amputation Reversing type 2 diabetes naturally The role of the Feel Great System (concentrated yerba mate + fiber matrix) The connection between insulin resistance and memory loss Improvements in cognitive function and early dementia symptoms Why medications like statins and PPIs may not address the real issue The role of insulin resistance in weight gain, inflammation, and chronic disease How this approach impacted her entire family (PCOS, Hashimoto's, ADD, and more)

This week on The Pro Audio Suite, things go gloriously off the rails. AP has been rebuilding his studio, and is talking reclaimed timber and custom desks, George is showing off weird vintage Apple gear, and somewhere in the middle, the boys fall down a rabbit hole involving Korg M1s, old ISDN boxes, retro synths, ancient Macs, and why audio people can never throw anything away. There's also a surprisingly deep discussion about why the physical studio environment matters creatively, why a tidy desk changes your mindset, and how modern workflows are reshaping how studios are built and used. Plus: • Studio rebuild ideas and workflow tweaks • Reclaimed timber stories from Australia and the US • Vintage synths and old gear suddenly becoming valuable again • Apple Neos, fanless laptops, and remote session setups • PASport VO in real world workflows • Why old Macs refuse to die • The weird psychology of creative spaces • 80s and 90s music production nostalgia • Why nobody seems to jam together anymore It's part studio therapy session, part gear archaeology dig, and part pub chat between audio nerds.

If you've ever stood in the wings before a performance and wondered how you got there — not in a good way — this episode is for you. Marie-Michel Beauparlant is an accomplished cellist, a mom of twins, and one of the most honest guests we've had on the show. She talks about the years she spent hiding behind section playing because solo performing felt impossible, the guilt of chasing an audition with six-month-old twins at home, and what it actually took to go from dreading the spotlight to being, as she puts it herself, a little addicted to it. This is a real conversation about the inner life of a working musician — and it will stay with you. In this episode you will discover: Why perfectionism and stage fright so often go hand in hand and what Marie-Michel did to start untangling them How she went from barely advancing in auditions to winning two orchestra positions and making finals consistently The mindset shift that led her to remove the word failure from her vocabulary entirely How finding a community of musicians facing similar challenges made her feel less alone and normalized the struggles she had been carrying quietly for years The simple question she asks herself before every practice session that keeps her grounded and motivated What winning really looks like when you stop making it only about the outcome   Want to experience this kind of transformation in your own musical life?

Today, we begin with a word that, in our times, has for some shifted from a symbol of support to something closer to criticism—even mockery: feminism. Melbourne is currently at the centre of a major global conversation on women's rights, as Women Deliver 2026 brings together leaders, activists and policymakers from around the world. But the question is—when we look at the West and South Asia, particularly countries like Pakistan and India, is the struggle for women's rights really the same? - آج ہم ایک ایسے لفظ سے گفتگو شروع کرتے ہیں جو آج کے دور میں کچھ لوگوں کے لیے حمایت نہیں بلکہ ایک طرح کی تنقید یا طنز بن چکا ہے—یعنی ‘فیمینزم'۔ میلبرن اس وقت عالمی سطح پر خواتین کے حقوق کی ایک بڑی گفتگو کا مرکز بنا ہوا ہے، جہاں Women Deliver 2026 میں دنیا بھر سے رہنما، کارکن اور پالیسی ساز جمع ہیں۔ لیکن سوال یہ ہے کہ جب ہم مغرب اور جنوبی ایشیا—خاص طور پر پاکستان اور بھارت—کی بات کرتے ہیں، تو کیا خواتین کے حقوق کی جدوجہد ایک جیسی ہے؟

I didn't decide all at once to change my relationship with social media.It happened slowly.In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how things started to feel different for me—how something that once felt connective and alive began to feel extractive, overwhelming, and out of alignment. I talk about the moment where something really clicked, the questions that changed everything, and how I began experimenting instead of forcing a drastic change.This is a conversation about Attention, Time, and what it means to come back into Right Relationship with the systems we participate in.If you've been feeling like your attention is scattered, your time isn't your own, or you're trying to win inside a game you don't even want to be playing anymore… you're not alone.Press play to hear:What it felt like when social media stopped feeling reciprocalThe subtle ways Attention can feel like it's being taken instead of chosenThe concept of “unpaid labor” just to maintain your experience online The moment I realized something was not in Right RelationshipWhy I didn't quit social media—and what I did insteadThe small, experimental shifts that changed everythingWhy deeper connection, not more content, was what I was actually craving, and how I UPGRADED instead of deprived myselfHow voice notes and asynchronous connection became more meaningful for meThe question that reframed my entire relationship with time: What could I do with those same 12 hours a week if I put them somewhere else?

Are you managing your life rather than living it? In this episode, Augustine sits down with Kristen Brickl, an intuitive licensed professional counselor, to explore the transformative journey of women in midlife. They dive deep into the "Good Girl" arc—how childhood conditioning leads to adult over-functioning, people-pleasing, and eventually, physical and emotional burnout.Specifically tailored for midwives and high-pressure caregivers, this conversation explores why "self-care" isn't just a luxury but a professional necessity. Kristen shares how our nervous systems impact not just our own health, but the way we co-regulate with the families we serve. If you've ever felt like you're "giving from an empty cup" or losing your passion for your calling, this episode is a permission slip to stop, breathe, and reclaim your joy.Key HighlightsThe Evolution of the Martyr: How the "Good Girl" of childhood becomes the "People Pleaser" of young adulthood and the "Over-functioning Martyr" of midlife.The Power of the Whisper: Recognizing the subtle signs of burnout before they turn into a "cosmic two-by-four" (health crises or autoimmune issues).The "Pause" Practice: A simple, transformative tool to reset your nervous system in the middle of a chaotic day or between client calls.Reparenting Your Inner Mean Girl: Shifting your internal monologue from criticism to the "loving bosom" of the Wise Adult.The Liminal Space: Navigating the "cringey" discomfort of transition—that moment in the birth canal of your own life where you can't go back, but can't yet see the way forward.Channel vs. Source: A revolutionary mindset shift for caregivers: how to be a channel for service without becoming the depleted source of it.Perinatal Psychology & Attachment: How a caregiver's distracted or overwhelmed state affects a newborn's ability to form secure attachments.Resources MentionedBook: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.Course: Boundaries for BirthworkersConnect with Kristen BricklWebsite: KristenBrickl.comInstagram: @kristen.bricklWant more?

Are you feeling the pull toward something more — but too afraid to call yourself a witch?Many women sense that their healing gifts, their intuition, and their connection to nature are something powerful — but years of cultural conditioning have taught them to shrink from it, hide it, or call it something safer.Eileen March was a midwife for over a decade before burnout sent her searching for a different path. What she found was a calling she'd carried her whole life — energy healing, cyclical living, and the reclamation of her Celtic witch lineage. Now she guides women back home to themselves.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why midwives are the original witches — and how the demonization of wise women was a deliberate tool of patriarchal controlHow slowing down and getting quiet is the most radical and powerful thing you can do when you feel stuck but don't yet know what's nextWhat cyclical living really means and how embracing your bleed as sacred — instead of shameful — can transform your relationship with your body and your fertilitySend us Fan Mail Liked this episode?

Judson prepares for one of the biggest moments of his professional career. Brian recounts a hookup that took him to the cleaners in more ways than one. The Hookup of the Week finds a listener living out the fantasy of hooking up with the hot nurse attending to him in the ER, and inspires Judson and Brian to share their own stories of doctor's office hookups. The two are then joined by Broadway actor John-Andrew Morrison, currently on the boards as Mary's Husband in Oh, Mary! John-Andrew talks about how he came to play our 16th president in Broadway's most outrageous play, how he was able to make the role his own, and the differences between his four leading ladies since he took office–Jane Krakowski, Hannah Solow, Jinkx Monsoon and John Cameron Mitchell. He also celebrates 18 years of sobriety, the community he has found through recovery, and how being sober helped him reclaim his career. John-Andrew details his decade-long journey with A Strange Loop, winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award, and the show for which he also received a Tony nomination. He then shares three Daddy Issues–one sexy, one practical and one literal–before helping Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener curious about strategies for saying no and making sure boundaries are respected.

For generations, Medusa has been remembered as a monster from Greek mythology: a snake-haired Gorgon whose gaze could turn men to stone. But when you look deeper into her story, a very different narrative begins to emerge. In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked & Witchy, Morgan explores Medusa through a modern witchcraft lens, reclaiming her as a powerful symbol of feminine sovereignty, sacred rage, protection, and survival. Rather than simply retelling the myth, this episode examines the different origin stories surrounding Medusa and how modern witches are reinterpreting her energy as that of a protector and guardian rather than a villain. Morgan also shares how Medusa has become a modern goddess figure for many witches today, representing the reclamation of power after trauma, the right to express anger, and the strength that comes from setting unbreakable boundaries. You'll also learn practical ways to work with Medusa in your magickal practice, including altar ideas, symbols associated with her energy, herbs and crystals connected to her power, and how to respectfully build a relationship with her as a deity. This episode is perfect for witches who feel drawn to themes of protection, sacred rage, personal sovereignty, and reclaiming their voice. In this episode, Morgan discusses: The different origin stories of Medusa in Greek mythology Why Medusa is being reclaimed as a modern goddess The symbolism of Medusa in feminine power and sacred rage Medusa as a protector and guardian energy Symbols, herbs, and crystals associated with Medusa How modern witches can work with Medusa in their magickal practice Why building a relationship with a deity matters before asking for help in spellwork Medusa's story is no longer just about a monster defeated by a hero. For many witches today, she has become a symbol of survival, transformation, and unapologetic feminine power.

Today our guest is Sean Beaverson, Director of Technology at Orono Public Schools. We talk about how schools can use AI in education to reduce teacher workload and reclaim instructional time. Sean shares a practical approach to lowering cognitive load by offloading administrative tasks to AI, allowing educators to repurpose time toward relationships, collaboration, and deeper learning. In this conversation, Sean offers clear reminders for leaders working to reduce workload and restore professional time: AI can reduce teacher workload by offloading low-cognitive-load administrative tasks. Reclaimed time must be intentionally repurposed, or it will quickly disappear. AI works best as a thought partner that enhances professional judgment, not replaces it. Reducing cognitive load allows teachers to focus on relationships and high-impact instruction. The goal of AI in education is not efficiency alone, it is strengthening human connection.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the most famous American writers of the twentieth century. His plain, economical prose style--inspired by journalism and the King James Bible, with an assist from the Cezannes he viewed in Gertrude Stein's apartment--became a hallmark of modernism and changed the course of American literature. In this episode, Jacke and Mike take a look at an author and novel, The Sun Also Rises (1927), they've been reading and discussing for decades. Want more Hemingway?

Send a textI this episode I sat down with cultural heritage reconnection coach Tami Garcia to trace a path from distance to pride. Raised in Cleveland by Jamaican and Dominican family who chose assimilation for survival, Tami grew up without language, rituals, or a map for belonging; until Howard University cracked something open: pride, proximity, and a hunger for the fullness of her story.This conversation traces Tammy's journey from disconnection to reclamation, and how that personal work became the foundation for the work she now does with families and individuals across the diaspora.Along our conversation journey, we name cultural imposter syndrome, face the pain of gatekeeping on both sides of the diaspora, and offer strategies to enter new spaces with respect: arrive in silence, observe, share your story and build trust step by step.Connect with Tami Garcia - https://www.tamigarcia.com/ Subscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Donate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation.

Father Carter Griffin, Rector of St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, DC, joins Father Larry and Bill to discuss his new book

Robin Lithgow spent her life immersed in the performing arts, including a childhood in the theater and decades spent as an educator and arts administrator. But it wasn't until she read a little-known work by Erasmus that she fully realized the importance that performance had on Shakespeare and his generation--which mirrored the experiences she had had as an English and drama teacher in inner-city schools in Los Angeles. In this special episode, Robin joins Jacke to talk about her life in the theater, her epiphanies regarding Shakespeare's education, and the centrality of the performing arts in a child's development. ROBIN LITHGOW was the first Theatre Adviser, and eventually the Director, of the Arts Education Branch of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the United States. Before becoming an arts administrator, she was a teacher for twenty-one years, teaching every grade level from kindergarten through senior high school and ending her classroom tenure as an English and drama teacher. And before that, she was the daughter of Arthur Lithgow, a theater impresario who developed Shakespeare festivals all over Ohio, which meant that Robin and her younger brother John Lithgow, the acclaimed actor, grew up traveling from place to place, watching rehearsals and performances, as their father mounted productions of every play in the Shakespearean canon.
