    Natürlich führt auch bei uns in dieser Woche nichts an der zweiten Staffel von "The Last of Us" (49:48) bei Wow vorbei. Allerdings schauen wir die Serie parallel mit euch, sodass wir heute nur über die erste Folge reden, die bei Holger und Michael, die "The Last of Us" 2023 auf ihrer Bestenliste hatten, für leicht unterschiedliche Reaktionen sorgt und bei Rüdiger wie bei der ersten Staffel noch für faszinierte und interessierte Gleichgültigkeit. Bevor wir dazu kommen, haben wir aber noch zwei neue Serien dabei, die für etwas kontroverse Diskussionen sorgen, obwohl wir sie alle drei eigentlich gut bis herausragend finden. Zum einen "Dying for Sex" (4:01) bei Disney+, in der Michelle Williams eine Frau mit Krebs im Endstadium spielt, die in der verbleibenden Zeit ihre körperliche und sexuelle Selbstbestimmung zurückerlangen will, zum anderen bei der kanadischen Netflix-Comedy "North of North" (34:43), die ein Inuit-Verwandter von "Parks and Recreation" werden könnte.

    Frederick County Parks and Recreation is gearing up for an eventful summer, kicking off with its popular Youth Trout Derby on May 9th at Clearbrook Park. Marketing Manager Jeremy Sanders joined host Janet Michael on the Valley Today to discuss the array of upcoming activities. The Youth Trout Derby is a cherished event, inviting kids aged four to fifteen to enjoy a day of fishing. It's free but requires early registration at fcprd.net to ensure there are enough door prizes for all participants. Jeremy also highlighted the upcoming Sunset Series, featuring 12 weeks of free live music at Bowman Amphitheater starting June 5th. "We've got everyone from Jimmy Lee to the Fly Birds," he said, noting the picturesque lakeside setting. Independence Day will be marked with a spectacular fireworks display and a performance by the local band Train Wreck at Sherando Park. Food trucks from Chick-fil-A to Kona Ice will cater to all tastes, making it a family-friendly event. Dog lovers should mark their calendars for the charity dog walk and pool pawty at Sherando Park, offering trails for dogs of all endurance levels followed by pool activities. Frederick County Parks and Rec also has a robust lineup of races under the "Run at the Top" series. Kicking off with the Kids Blooming Mile on the Friday of Apple Blossom weekend, Jeremy notes that this event draws over a thousand young runners. The following day, the Valley Health 10K attracts even more participants, including elite runners. For a unique experience, don't miss the "Glow All Out 5K" on July 18th, an evening race with glow-in-the-dark elements. Although Janet isn't a runner herself, she found the idea of a fun, less competitive glow run intriguing. The summer guide, filled with information on classes, workshops, athletic events, and more is available online. Jeremy encouraged listeners to register at fcprd.net to get a copy delivered to their homes. For the most current updates, he recommended checking the Frederick County Parks and Rec Facebook page. With such a wide range of activities, Frederick County Parks and Rec ensures there's something for everyone this summer. Jeremy concludes, "We'll keep you busy!"

    This is the second part of a two-part episode - the first part is here, episode 54, from March 31.We will start at FC St. Pauli, now in the German Bundesliga, at the club's museum which has very active researchers, and we'll end at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and the bigger question of what right remembering looks like in professional soccer - and what it can look like. We will take that journey with no less than 3 guests: Celina Albertz, a researcher and also in the curating team of the FC St. Pauli Museum; Sönke Goldbeck, Board chair and director of the museum, and Felipe Tobar, Assistant Professor in the Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management Department at Clemson Universit in South Carolina and founder of the Football Studies youtube channel. He is also the mastermind of a new documentary on public memory and football, which we will also talk about.Part 1  is mostly concernedwith the research on the famous St. Pauli matchday song "Das Herz von St. Pauli" ("The Heart of St. Pauli"), and the discussion started by Celina's research into the composer, lyricist and performer of that song. Part 2 funnels out from there to larger questions of soccer, research and remembering, and features Felipe more heavily.If you want to know more about FC St. Pauli and what makes the club special, especially to this podcast, listen in to episode 26, from 2023, when I talked with two social workers that are employed by the club.

Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, this irreverent road-trip adventure follows small-time pot dealer David Clark (Jason Sudeikis, celebrated for his roles in Horrible Bosses and Adventureland) who, in a desperate bid to smuggle a massive shipment of weed from Mexico, creates a fake family to help him cross the border undetected. Teaming up with David is Rose (Jennifer Aniston, known for Friends and Marley & Me), a savvy and spirited stripper who agrees to pose as his wife. The makeshift family is rounded out by a couple of unexpected additions—Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Maze Runner) and Emma Roberts (American Horror Story, Scream 4) bring youthful energy and offbeat humor to their roles as the faux children, while Nick Offerman (famed for Parks and Recreation), Kathryn Hahn (celebrated for her sharp wit in Step Brothers & Agatha All Along / WandaVision), and Ed Helms (of The Office and The Hangover) round out the ensemble with memorable supporting turns. Tara & John break down every outrageous moment—from the hilarious border-crossing mishaps and awkward family dynamics during the long-haul road trip, to the clever one-liners and quirky set pieces that have made We're the Millers a modern comedy classic.

    This episode of Living Myth explores how as humans we live and die in the context of the stories we tell ourselves about the world and our place in it. Two great stories happen at the same time, the great drama of the world and the unique story trying to unfold from each individual soul.  At this critical time on earth, something essential to the story of the world is trying to be re-discovered and something crucial in each life story is trying to be revealed.   People are increasingly fearful about the future of the earth. Yet, people cannot simply be scared into caring for the earth. Fear can be an awakening force; yet fear over time can become a cause of further division and greater isolation. The unity of life must be found again and one challenge involves seeing how collapse and renewal can be happening at the same time. Through myths of re-creation we can touch the timeless images and archetypes from which the living world first arose and find inspiration as well as insights into collective transformation on Earth.   Thank you for listening to and supporting the Living Myth Podcast.

With 30 years of experience in the attractions industry, Get it Done Marketing offers freelance marketing insight, strategy, and execution—at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Partnering with over 30 parks and resorts from family water parks to large multi-location organizations, Get it Done Marketing fills leadership voids on property and corporate marketing teams, assists with resource allocation and supports emerging marketing professionals. Learn more at getitdonemarketing.com. Anne Shimerdla is the CEO of Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa. Her career began with an internship at the zoo nearly three decades ago, leading her through various roles in education, operations, and HR before stepping into her current leadership position. Blank Park Zoo is a 30-acre, AZA-accredited nonprofit zoo that engages approximately 500,000 guests annually and is driven by a mission centered on conservation, education, research, and recreation. In this interview, Anne talks about balancing recreation with education, animal welfare standards, and who she believes is the least important person at the zoo. Balancing Recreation with Education “We cannot do our mission without the attractions component.” Anne explains that the zoo's mission—to foster conservation, education, and research—is intrinsically linked to its ability to attract and engage visitors. She emphasizes the importance of balancing the business and ecological aspects of the organization, drawing on her background in both ecology and business administration. By making the guest experience enjoyable and memorable, the zoo creates a pathway for people to connect with its mission. From offering unique experiences like feeding giraffes to developing inclusive programming and exhibits, Blank Park Zoo aims to captivate diverse audiences and deepen their appreciation for animals and conservation. This dual focus means the zoo must cater to both the physical and intellectual needs of guests. Whether it's interactive exhibits, educational signage, keeper chats, or social media storytelling, every touchpoint is designed to spark curiosity and inspire conservation action. Anne notes that engaging experiences are critical not only for education but also for generating the revenue necessary to support animal care and the zoo's long-term sustainability. Animal Welfare Standards “The emphasis on animal welfare has really evolved… not only are we meeting the physical needs of the animal, but really focusing on that social and mental need.” Anne highlights the zoo's commitment to the comprehensive well-being of its 3,000 animals. Over the past two decades, animal care has shifted from simply meeting physical needs to also prioritizing mental and emotional welfare. For example, the zoo carefully considers whether animals are social or solitary, and designs habitats and routines to reflect natural behaviors. Staff members conduct daily observations and periodic welfare assessments that include input from zookeepers, veterinarians, educators, and guest services. She also addresses a common challenge: public misinterpretations of animal behavior. For instance, lions naturally sleep up to 20 hours a day, a fact that may be misunderstood by guests as boredom or poor welfare. To combat these assumptions, the zoo uses multiple educational tools—from signage to social media to personal interaction—to convey accurate information and promote transparency. Anne sees social media as a particularly powerful tool that serves both marketing and education purposes, helping demystify zoo operations and engage guests before, during, and after their visit. The Least Important Person “I firmly believe I am the least important person here.” Anne's leadership philosophy is rooted in humility and a deep respect for her team. Despite her title, she views her role as one of support and barrier removal, rather than command. She emphasizes that it's the educators, zookeepers, and guest service staff—those on the front lines—who are the most essential to delivering the zoo's mission. Her goal is to empower staff by encouraging innovation, supporting new ideas, and fostering a collaborative environment. This mindset was especially impactful during the challenges of 2020, when the zoo faced closures and operational shifts due to the pandemic. Anne leaned into flexibility and teamwork, reallocating staff to care for animals and maintain operations. Her approach ensured that morale stayed high and the zoo continued to serve the community—even turning parking lots into drive-through experiences and launching virtual programming. Anne's ability to lead with empathy and curiosity has made a lasting impact on Blank Park Zoo's culture and resilience.   To learn more about Blank Park Zoo, visit BlankParkZoo.com or follow them on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube.

Over the last few years, I'd been researching how snowsports instructors can inspire their students to continue learning and participating. Through observations of PSIA-AASI National Team members in action, combined with in-depth interviews with them and their students, I found that inspirational instruction consists of five major elements: Technical Expertise, Instructional Communication, Masterful Teaching, Personal and Professional Character, and Student-Centered Approach.

    Meet Director Thennie Freeman, the powerhouse behind the DC Department of Parks and Recreation, who most recently launched the innovative Youth Development Professional Certification Program in partnership with the GW Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. But first, how did she get to this point—where she's empowering other leaders to inspire youth in the workforce today?Director Freeman's passion for community work started at Job Corps, and she has since dedicated herself to supporting children, young adults, and those who lead them today—many of whom have faced adversity. Having learned on the fly early in her career, she understands the challenges of navigating the workforce and has made it her mission to equip leaders with the tools they need to guide young people toward success. You'll learn a lot from her three tools. Much of her life's work focuses on shifting power back into the hands of youth, helping them build confidence and take control of their futures—ultimately leading to the launch of this program, which aims to equip future leaders with the skills needed to effectively mentor and support youth across various educational and community settings.In this episode, Director Freeman also shares insights about her latest project—the newly launched Joy Evans Therapeutic Recreation Center. She tells the story of the facility's namesake, Joy Evans, a young woman born with developmental disabilities who spent much of her short life in an institutional facility. Inspired by her family's experience, advocates pushed for keeping families together while also supporting children of different abilities. That same vision led to the creation of this state-of-the-art center, which features outpatient therapeutic services, a temperature-controlled therapeutic pool, and comprehensive family support—all while fostering inclusivity. And it's open to the public.A key aspect of the facility is its unique biophilic design, which embraces the healing power of nature. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to accommodate individuals of all abilities, ensuring both accessibility and comfort for them and their families.For someone who wears many hats in the community, you might be surprised by where Director Freeman spends much of her time thinking and reflecting. Hint: It may inspire you to jump in! She also teases some exciting upcoming projects focused on bringing learning beyond the classroom and into community spaces.We hope you leave this episode feeling as inspired as we did after hearing Director Freeman's story and her dedication to creating an inclusive space for all.Love the show?

    The Take

    Most all of us like to be nice, but some people just feel like they were born to help others. They'll take any chance to provide assistance, big or small – unasked for (and, often, unthanked…) While being helpful is a good thing, it can also evolve into a people-pleasing attitude that can have surprisingly negative effects on the helper themselves (and sometimes even the people being “helped”!) So let's take a closer look at what's really going on with Helpers and People-Pleasers, what makes them different, the problems they can encounter, and what we can really learn from these tropes. Unpacking the difference between the Helper Trope and People-Pleaser Trope on screen, people who are forced to be helpers, the *negative* side effects that can come from being a people-pleaser, and beyond. Featuring Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope, Black-ish's Rainbow Johnson, New Girl's Jess Day, Shōgun's Toda Mariko, Friends' Monica Geller, Superstore's Amy Sosa, and more! We take a look at people pleaser syndrome / why some people are people-pleasers, what a people-pleaser is, how it's different from just being a helpful person, and how being a people-pleaser can cause you problems Learn more about your ad choices.

    Come with us to Houston, Texas, to talk saltwater fishing, conservation, philosophy and life with Pat Murray, former light tackle fishing guide and President of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA). Pat is the author of Pat Murray's No-Nonsense Guide to Coastal Fishing and the just-published It's More than Fishing, from Texas A&M University Press. He's also the publisher of TIDES magazine, and an award-winning outdoor writer and reporter. CCA was founded in 1977 to address the drastic commercial overfishing of redfish and speckled trout along the Texas Gulf Coast. The battles were fought on the water, in the statehouse, and wherever fishermen gathered to demand change before the fisheries were lost forever. That battle was won. New challenges, and new successes, abound. The CCA now has over 125,000 members, with 224 local chapters across all three US coasts. “We work to protect not only the health, habitat and sustainability of our marine resources, but also the interests of recreational anglers and their access to the resources they cherish.”    --- The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.
