This week, we are unpacking one of the most emotional and whirlwind weeks in recent royal history. Joined by royal correspondent Simon Vigar, we dive deep into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's incredibly private visit to Highgrove. With Archie and Lilibet back on UK soil for the first time in years, did this quiet family reunion finally soften hearts – or are the deep-seated rifts with Prince William still too wide to bridge? We also react to Harry's surprisingly candid podcast appearance, where he reminded us all of the cheeky, fun-loving prince we've sorely missed. Plus, we take a look at the Princess of Wales's radiant appearance at Wimbledon, Prince George's upcoming boarding school milestone, and the King's relentless work ethic amidst political upheaval.

Moving away from insurance can create fear for dentists who worry patients will leave, the team will resist, or production will suffer. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Troy Schmedding, a private practice dentist in Walnut Creek, California, to explain how he transitioned out of insurance participation, rebuilt his practice around quality and communication, and created more control over how he practices. You will learn why team alignment matters, how to communicate insurance changes with patients, and why quality and customer service are essential for an out-of-network model. To learn how one dentist reclaimed control by ditching insurance and prioritizing quality, listen to Episode 1070 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dentists often struggle to leave insurance because of fear and self-limiting beliefs about whether their patients will stay.A practice can become less busy but more productive when it is well-managed and focused on quality care.Going out-of-network requires strong communication with the team and with patients.Patients respond better when the conversation focuses on quality of care rather than complaints about insurance companies.Billing insurance on behalf of patients remains an important customer service step after leaving insurance networks.Patient referrals can become stronger when existing patients value quality, service, and the practice model.A successful out-of-network practice depends on having a team that supports the doctor's vision and communicates well with patients.Snippets:00:00 Introduction to Dr. Troy Schmedding and the topic of moving away from insurance.01:09 Kirk introduces Dr. Schmedding and the Best Practices Show.04:15 Dr. Schmedding explains how insurance reimbursement cuts influenced his decision-making.06:51 Fear and self-limiting beliefs keep dentists from changing their insurance model.10:49 Team alignment is necessary before making major insurance changes.13:54 Referrals shift when patients understand and value the practice model.15:06 Dr. Schmedding shares his perspective on dentists' frustration with Delta Dental.17:54 Kirk and Dr. Schmedding discuss the future of out-of-network private practice.21:28 Dr. Schmedding explains what dentists often misunderstand about his practice model.23:00 Dr. Schmedding discusses his upcoming Smile Source Exchange presentation.24:54 Final thoughts & ClosingGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Dr. Troy Schmedding is a honors graduate of the Arthur A.

Timoleon and the Exile of Dionysius in Corinth. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Dionysius the Youngereventually reclaimed his fortress, but Syracuse turned to Corinth for aid. Corinth sent Timoleon, a retired man leading a meager mercenary force. Surprisingly, Dionysius chose to abdicate rather than fight, negotiating a peaceful retirement in Corinth. The former tyrant lived his final years as a music teacher and priest. He famously claimed his ability to endure poverty proved he had learned from Plato. This fall from power gave rise to the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," signifying the inherent uncertainty of fortune and absolute power. 6
Can God Really Restore What Feels Broken Beyond Repair? (Amos 9) The book of Amos is a hard read. For eight chapters it's warning after warning — until the very end, when the whole tone changes. In this finale of "Let the Lion Roar," Rev. Vicki Harrison preaches Amos 9:11-15 and the way God chooses to close a difficult book: not with judgment, but with a promise to restore. If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a long winter — disconnected, dry, going through the motions on Sunday but living a different life the rest of the week — this message is for you. Pastor Vicki walks through God's promise to rebuild what's fallen, to gather in the people once counted as enemies, and to plant his people in a place they'll never be uprooted from again. Along the way she shows how this ancient prophecy pointed all the way to Jesus, and to the kind of restoration you actually need. To restore something, she reminds us, is to bring it back to its original condition and return it to its rightful owner. That's the invitation here: wherever you've been, whatever your past, God offers to make you whole again — and he keeps his promises. Scripture: Amos 9:11-15 Series: Let the Lion Roar Speaker: Rev.

The Harlem Renaissance, the great flowering of African American arts and culture in the early twentieth century, is hard to define but easy to admire. Coupled with the Great Migration, in which hundreds of thousands of Southern black workers moved to the rapidly industrializing cities of the North, the Harlem Renaissance was a time of radically innovative artistic expression, as musicians, visual artists, and writers forged a new consciousness. The works they produced reflected a spirit of change, progress, and optimism – but underlying the excitement were also a sense of struggle; reflective themes of nostalgia, guilt, and regret; and a clear-eyed view of racial relations in American culture. In this episode, Jacke looks at the social context for the Harlem Renaissance, with a particular focus on works by Langston Hughes, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. On Sale Now!

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.

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. Thanks to our sponsors: Tri-Booth and Austrian Audio.
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?

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? As you listen, you might notice:What has shifted in your own relationship with social media over time?And what are you actually craving when you reach for it?Mentioned in this episode:Untamed by Glennon DoyleAmelia Hruby's work + podcast Off the GridI'm currently hosting:Your Attention Is Sacred: a 10-Day Voice-Note Book ClubMay 6–15Fully asynchronous inside VoxerEach day, I'll share a short excerpt, a reflection, and a few questions.

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?

3. The Golden Age of Alexandria: Innovation, Wealth, and WisdomUnder Ptolemy II and III, Egypt became fabulously wealthy through advanced agricultural engineering and gold mining in the Eastern Desert. They reclaimed land in the Fayum through irrigation, turning grain into a vital international currency. This prosperity funded monumental projects like the Pharos Lighthouse, a symbol of Alexandria's maritime dominance. The city became the Mediterranean's intellectual center with the creation of the Museum and the Great Library.

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? We took a new look at an old argument in Episode 47 Hemingway vs Fitzgerald. Love everything about the Lost Generation? Spend some time with the coiner of the phrase in Episode 127 Gertrude Stein.
