What if the skills that make breech and twin birth safe have been intentionally erased from modern medicine?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, an OB-GYN and longtime advocate for physiological birth. After nearly three decades in hospitals and over a decade attending home births alongside midwives, he's become a leading voice in reteaching the lost art of vaginal breech and twin delivery. Together, we dig into how this knowledge disappeared, what replaced it, and why practitioners are no longer taught to trust birth.Dr. Stuart exposes the ripple effects of fear, policy, and profit that shape today's obstetric system. We look at the flawed studies that reshaped global practice, the quiet politics behind “standard of care,” and the consequences of replacing skill with surgery. There's a reason breech birth became a lost language, and a growing movement to relearn it.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:17] Why the medical system stripped doctors of individuality and decision-making power[12:05] How one flawed study reshaped global birth practices overnight[19:59] Who qualifies for vaginal breech birth[31:33] When “hands off the breech” isn't enough[36:46] How doctors rationalize ignoring evidence that contradicts hospital policy[40:52] The hidden conflicts of interest behind vaccine and medication recommendations[56:36] Why hospitals prioritize liability and revenue over individualized, physiological care[01:03:41] Rediscovering birth as a human experience[01:08:25] When medicine loses its humanityResources Mentioned:Fearless Pregnancy by Stuart Fischbein, Victoria Clayton, and Joyce Weckl | BookTwin Home Birth by Fischbein, S. | ArticleBreech Birth At Home by Fischbein, S. and Freeze, R. | Article“Home Birth” With An Obstetrician by Fischbein, S. | ArticleTerm Breech Trial (2000) by Hannah, M. et al. | ArticleHealthy as a Mother episode #135 on The Truth About Ultrasounds: Risks & Benefits | Apple or SpotifyBirthing Instincts Podcast | Apple or SpotifyLearn more from Dr. Stuart on his website.

Few names shine as brightly in the story of American rock and roll as Dion DiMucci. Known to fans worldwide simply as Dion, this Bronx-born legend isn't just another voice from the golden age of doo-wop—he's one of the few artists who managed to bridge the gap between early rock, blues, folk, and contemporary roots music. With a career spanning more than six decades, Dion has gone from street-corner harmony to global acclaim, influencing generations along the way.Born in 1939, in the Bronx, Dion grew up surrounded by rhythm, radio, and raw emotion. Those bustling city streets were alive with music—doo-wop groups harmonizing on stoops, gospel voices in local churches, and the pulse of rhythm and blues drifting from open windows. That mix became Dion's musical DNA.As a teenager, Dion formed Dion and the Belmonts, named after a Bronx street. Their blend of silky harmonies and streetwise swagger set them apart from other vocal groups of the era. Songs like “I Wonder Why,” “A Teenager in Love,” and “Where or When” became instant classics—defining the sound of late 1950s rock and roll and turning Dion into a household name.Breaking Out Solo with “Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer”When Dion went solo in 1960, he didn't miss a beat. His breakout single “Runaround Sue” soared to number one, followed closely by “The Wanderer.” With its unforgettable swagger and sing-along chorus, “The Wanderer” captured Dion's street-smart confidence and has since become one of the most covered songs in rock history.These weren't just catchy pop tunes—they were the soundtrack of youth in postwar America. Dion's voice carried a blend of toughness and tenderness that spoke to millions. He was the rebel with heart, the Bronx kid who brought soul and honesty to early rock 'n' roll.Like many stars of his generation, Dion faced personal struggles as fame took its toll. The pressures of the road and the darker side of the music industry led to battles with addiction. But in classic Dion fashion, he turned those hardships into growth. After finding sobriety and rediscovering his faith in the late 1960s, Dion re-emerged with a deeper, more introspective sound.His 1968 hit “Abraham, Martin and John” marked a turning point. A moving tribute to Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Kennedy brothers, the song revealed a new side of Dion—soulful, reflective, and socially aware. It became one of the defining tracks of its era, reminding fans that Dion wasn't just a rock singer—he was a storyteller with something meaningful to say.Rediscovering the BluesThrough the '70s and beyond, Dion continued to evolve, diving deep into his earliest musical love—the blues. Albums like “Bronx in Blue” (2006) and “Son of Skip James” (2007) showed a raw, authentic artist at work. His 2020 release “Blues with Friends” brought together an all-star lineup including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Gibbons, Paul Simon, and Jeff Beck. The record earned rave reviews, proving that Dion's voice and songwriting remain as powerful and relevant as ever.Dion's influence stretches across generations. From Bob Dylan and Lou Reed to Bruce Springsteen, countless artists have cited him as a major inspiration. His ability to blend doo-wop sweetness, rock grit, and blues soul has kept his music timeless—and his storytelling authentic.In '89, Dion was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing his status as one of the genre's founding fathers. But more than awards or accolades, Dion's true legacy lies in his unwavering authenticity. He's never chased trends; he's chased truth.In an age where musical fads come and go, Dion's story reminds us what staying power really looks like. His career is a masterclass in reinvention. Whether he's singing about heartbreak, hope, or redemption, Dion remains one of rock's most honest voices.Six decades on, the Bronx-born rock legend is still doing what he's always done best—telling stories that sound like they were written just for you.

A digital disaster leads Thos to dig out his old CD collection — and rediscover a world of musicals he'd long forgotten. Nick joins him for a nostalgic spin through the golden age of discs, cassettes and vinyl, celebrating the physical joy of pressing play, turning pages, and uncovering songs that time almost buried. It's a charming conversation about rediscovery, memory, and the music that never really leaves you — they just wait patiently in the loft.

As a child in the foothills of the Himalayas, Priyanka Kumar was entranced by forest-like orchards of diverse and luscious fruit—especially apples. These biodiverse orchards seemed worlds away from the cardboard apples that lined supermarket shelves in the United States. Yet on a small patch of woods near her home in Santa Fe, Kumar discovered a wild apple tree—and the seeds of an odyssey were planted. Could the taste of a feral apple offer a doorway to the wild? In The Light Between Apple Trees: Rediscovering the Wild Through a Beloved American Fruit, Kumar takes us on a dazzling and transformative journey to rediscover apples, unearthing a rich and complex history while illuminating how we can reimagine our relationship with nature.Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world, bringing readers to the vibrant forests and orchards where historic trees still survive. These mature and wild orchards offer more than just fruit: they are havens for creatures from hummingbirds to bears and a living connection to generations past. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple's storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson's beloved Monticello fruitery. Kumar shows how—if we follow untamed paths—the tang and texture of an apple can lead us back to the wild. Our guest is: Priyanka Kumar, who is the author of Conversations with Birds, and The Light Between Apple Trees. Her essays appear in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Orion, and Sierra magazine. She holds an MFA, and has taught at the University of California Santa Cruz and the University of Southern California. Her feature documentary, The Song of the Little Road, is in the permanent collection of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and her awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award, a New Mexico/New Visions Governor's Award, an International Center for Jefferson Studies Fellowship, and an Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Fellowship.

My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Between October and the end of December, I like to experiment with different time management and productivity tools to see what I can learn and discover about managing my work. Last year, I chose the Franklin Planner. That has been a revelation. It allowed me to revisit how I managed my time and work while working in a high-pressure work environment with rapidly changing priorities and a constant supply of crises each day.  In this week's episode, I want to share what I learned from the experiment with the Franklin Planner and how it has changed how I manage my work and time.  I was first introduced to the Franklin Planner back in 1992. My former boss, Andrew, inspired me to start using it. At that time, I also read Hyrum Smith's Ten Natural Laws of Time and Life Management, which was a book written to introduce the planner.A From 1992 to 2009, I religiously used the Franklin Planner to manage not just my work, but my life.  I remember writing in my planner the first time I had the idea of coming to Korea, and then turning it into a project in the back of the planner. All my fears, concerns and excitements were written in there. Twenty-three years later, I still look back on that decision to come to Korea as being the best decision I've ever made.  For those unfamiliar with the Franklin Planner, let's start with the idea behind it.  When you first receive your Franklin Planner, you are encouraged to write out your “governing values”. These are the things that are important to you—values such as honesty, integrity, how you treat others and your family.  From these, you can determine your performance against what is important to you and set goals based on that. This is where I got the inspiration for my areas of focus. We all share eight areas of life, which we define and prioritise differently.  These eight are: family and relationships, Career or business, health and fitness, self-development, finances, lifestyle and life experiences, spirituality and life's purpose.  It's these governing values that become the foundations of your system with the Franklin Planner.  Once you have established your governing values, you can begin using the daily pages. On the left, you have a prioritised task list. Next to that, you have your schedule for the day, and on the right-hand page, you have a space to collect notes.  What became immediately obvious to me when I been using the Franklin Planner, was the way it forced me to stop and think.  The act of handwriting what I decided were my most important tasks for the day slowed me down and got me thinking about what was genuinely important.  With digital systems, it's all too easy to add random dates to a task, hoping that by some miracle you will find the time to do it. And I know some of you add random dates because you're afraid of forgetting about the task, even though the task does not need to be done on the date you assigned it.  With the Franklin Planner, you stop doing that. You become more intentional about what you will do each day, which ensures that you are focused on the important tasks.  What I noticed was that I became much better at prioritising.  It becomes annoying to rewrite a task day after day because you didn't do it. So you either delete it or you do it.  With digital systems, it's easy to give up and move the task to another random day. And when that day comes, you don't do it again, so push it off again and again.  The other related lesson from the Franklin Planner was that you become hyper-aware of what you can realistically do each day.  Because you write out your appointments for the day first, you can see, in plain sight, just how much time you have for doing tasks.  If you've got seven hours of meetings, a concert to go to, and you want to fit in a thirty-minute exercise session, you will instantly see that you won't have much time to do tasks.  With digital systems, all your tasks are hidden and given that most people don't manage their calendars particularly well and have multiple events in the same time slot, it's difficult to see where the important events and tasks are. Not so with the Franklin Planner. You won't be able to over-schedule yourself. Writing out your commitments each day ensures you don't overcommit.  I did discover some redundancies with the Planner, though. One of which was the monthly calendar tabs in your planner.  The digital calendar is superb. If an appointment is rescheduled, it's easy to drag and drop it to the new date and time. In the Franklin Planner, you would need to Tippex or cross out the appointment and rewrite it on the new date.  Although if you want to retain complete control over your calendar, the Franklin Planner would be a better option. Nobody would be able to add an appointment to your calendar, and you would have to go through you first to schedule anything with you.  I did find a useful way to use the monthly calendar tabs, though. Each month, I write out my goals and the projects I expect to complete that month. This has been very useful when doing my weekly planning, as it gives me a central place free from the distractions of other goals and projects.  A great way to stay focused on what you have decided is important in that month.  Another feature of the Franklin Planner is the way you reference information you collect. When you write a note in the daily notes area, each note is assigned a number.  For example, the first note you write is given the number 1, and the next is number 2. This then gives you a simple way to retrieve information you may have written. At the beginning of each monthly tab, you have a sheet called the “Index”. If you want to find the note you made, all you need to do is write the date you wrote the note and its number. For example, 19-10/1 would refer to the first note you made on the 19th October.  It's a wonderful retrieval system and one I found very useful when planning the month or the week.  But the biggest takeaway for me was the way the Franklin Planner slowed me down and got me to think about how I was using my time. Planning the day by writing out my appointments first to see how much time I had left after them to do my tasks forced me to get realistic about what I could do that day.  For example, yesterday, I took my mother to the airport. The airport is about a four-hour drive each way. This meant I was away for at least eight hours, and I could see that on my calendar for the day. It meant I had very little time to do tasks, which I could see when I did my daily planning the evening before.  It really focused me on getting the critical work done before we set off because traffic conditions are unpredictable, and I didn't want to leave anything to chance when I got back, just in case I was delayed.  Sure, you can do that digitally, but because all our tasks are in our digital systems, it can become overwhelming and stressful looking at hundreds of tasks trying to decide which ones must be done that day.  With the Franklin Planner, you effectively have a blank slate each day to choose what you must do. Taking ten minutes away from your screen and really thinking about what is important for the day can do incredible things for your focus.  Oh, and I should mention that the dopamine hit you get from crossing off a task by hand is way more powerful than a digital click.  So what has this experiment with the Franklin Planner changed about my system as a whole?  Well, the first thing is I've started to add to my journal the two most important tasks of the day. I write my journal by hand each morning, and I've always tracked my morning routine habit and my exercise in there. Now I write out my two most important tasks.  Again, what this has done is to get me focused on the day.  My daily planning has changed, too. Now, I start by looking at my calendar for the next day's appointments before I curate my list of tasks for the day.  For example, today I have seven hours of meetings. When I did my planning last night, I saw that and realised the only thing I would be able to do today was this podcast.  In the past, I would have ignored all that and begun the day with ten to fifteen tasks and seven hours of meetings. Those days were broken before they started. There was no way I would do all that in one day.  Will I continue with the Planner? That's a difficult one to answer.  The areas where the planner has helped me can be replicated with a regular desk diary. I did not find that I added that many notes to the daily notes field. I carry a pocket notebook with me for random thoughts, and I like the randomness of that.  Meeting notes, project, and content ideas go directly into my digital notes system, and I have a paper-based planning book where I plan out my bigger projects, weekly plans, and YouTube videos.  And the “deal-breaker' for me has been the poor quality of paper that Franklin Planner uses. I am a fountain pen user, and the paper in a Franklin Planner is terrible for fountain pens.  A good quality desk diary with fountain pen-friendly paper would give me everything I currently use the Franklin Planner for and allow me to use my family of fountain pens.  But for someone who struggles with digital systems, feels swamped by long lists of to-dos and wants to adopt a simple paper-based system, then the Franklin Planner would fit perfectly.  For me, a three-month experiment this year, I am going all in with Apple's Productivity system. Using only Apple's Reminders, Notes and Calendar for three months to see what I can learn about these tools.  If you're interested in this experiment, keep an eye on my YouTube channel as I will be updating my discoveries there.  Thank you for listening and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

In this Friday Rant, I dive into one of my favorite metaphors — life's wave. Some days I'm cruising on a motorboat, other days I'm hanging on to a dinghy — and that's okay. Life and business aren't meant to be smooth or predictable; they're meant to be lived. Too often we get stuck reacting to every dip and crash of the wave instead of learning how to ride — or even better, getting in front of it.I talk about how our expectations of perfection are what create most of our stress, how we've forgotten how to play the game, and why the real win is found in showing up every day and doing the work — even when the ride gets rough. This one's a reminder to stop fighting the current and start surfing it.Key Highlights:- Life's wave metaphor: Why some days you're flying high and others you're paddling for dear life — and why both are normal.- From reaction to preparation: Stop letting life's ups and downs control you; start doing the work now to be ahead of the next wave.- The illusion of perfection: How expecting a flawless life creates more pain than the problems themselves.- Rediscovering play: Why we quit playing the game of life — and how to bring that curiosity and resilience back.- The video game mindset: Remember staying up all night to beat the next level? That's the energy you need for your goals.- Hiking for perspective: Don't stop before the best view — sometimes the reward is one turn away.- Mindset shift: Life isn't happening to you — it's happening for you. The challenge is the game.Life's supposed to be unpredictable. That's what makes it beautiful. So grab the joystick, stop complaining about the color of the game, and play. Stay curious, stay moving, and get yourself in front of the wave — because that's where the fun really starts.If this one hit home, share it with someone who needs a reminder that life isn't something to survive — it's something to ride.

John Maytham speaks to Tony Jackman, Food Writer for the Daily Maverick, whose story “The Chef in the Shadows and the Lost Decades of Cape Cuisine” explores how local dishes like koesisters, breyani, and bobotie were once deemed unworthy of restaurant menus — and how chefs like Abbas Abrahams are reclaiming that narrative. Jackman reflects on what was lost, what’s being rediscovered, and how a new generation of chefs is redefining what it means to cook South African. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

As a child in the foothills of the Himalayas, Priyanka Kumar was entranced by forest-like orchards of diverse and luscious fruit—especially apples. These biodiverse orchards seemed worlds away from the cardboard apples that lined supermarket shelves in the United States. Yet on a small patch of woods near her home in Santa Fe, Kumar discovered a wild apple tree—and the seeds of an odyssey were planted. Could the taste of a feral apple offer a doorway to the wild? In The Light Between Apple Trees: Rediscovering the Wild Through a Beloved American Fruit, Kumar takes us on a dazzling and transformative journey to rediscover apples, unearthing a rich and complex history while illuminating how we can reimagine our relationship with nature.Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world, bringing readers to the vibrant forests and orchards where historic trees still survive. These mature and wild orchards offer more than just fruit: they are havens for creatures from hummingbirds to bears and a living connection to generations past. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple's storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson's beloved Monticello fruitery. Kumar shows how—if we follow untamed paths—the tang and texture of an apple can lead us back to the wild. Our guest is: Priyanka Kumar, who is the author of Conversations with Birds, and The Light Between Apple Trees.

When most people think of the Thoroughbred industry, they picture racing, speed, and high stakes. But what happens to these horses after the finish line? And could their intelligence, courage, and sensitivity make them perfect partners in equine-assisted work?✨ “It's a win-win situation for the equine-assisted world and for the Thoroughbred world — an opportunity to give back to society in a meaningful way.” – Suzi Pritchard-Jones✨ “Any living creature is made up of energy. Unless you can express that energy, it gets bottled up and becomes destructive.” – Suzi Pritchard-JonesIn this compelling episode, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Suzi Pritchard-Jones — a breeder and advocate working to bridge the gap between the racing world and the equine-assisted community. Suzi shares her vision for a more humane future for Thoroughbreds, both during their careers and beyond, where welfare, horsemanship, and second careers in therapy and education take center stage.From Ireland to Florida to the UK, Suzi is pushing for change within an industry often misunderstood and criticized, championing transparency, accountability, and empathy for one of the world's most athletic and misunderstood breeds. Together, she and Rupert explore how Thoroughbreds — once the engine of civilization — can once again serve humanity through healing, learning, and connection.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

In this episode of the Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth Studley, licensed marriage and family therapist, addresses listener questions about change, fear, emotions, and self-discovery. He emphasizes the importance of overcoming fear, navigating changes in relationships, embracing emotions, and rediscovering oneself amidst family responsibilities. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Seth encourages listeners to confront their fears, communicate openly in relationships, and engage in self-reflection to foster personal growth and change. Takeaways- Fear often drives our choices, but it can be overcome. False evidence appearing real (FEAR) is a common experience. No one is focused on your fears; they are often in your mind. Relieving fear requires intention and action. Change in relationships may require difficult conversations. Embracing emotions is essential for personal growth. Physical activity can help reconnect with emotions. Journaling can clarify thoughts and feelings. Rediscovering oneself is possible even after years of neglect. You are the example for your children; prioritize self-care. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this message on the armor of God, we look at the helmet of salvation and its significance in our spiritual lives. The message centers on Ephesians 6:12-17, reminding us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. The helmet of salvation, symbolizing Jesus Himself, protects our minds from despair and renews our hope. We're challenged to understand salvation not just as a future promise, but as a transformative power for our past, present, and future. By putting on Christ, we're covered by His righteousness and claimed by His victory. This message encourages us to stand firm in our faith, resisting the world's divisiveness and instead reflecting God's character of love, justice, and peace. As we embrace our identity as image-bearers of God, we're called to a higher purpose - to serve as stewards of creation, bringing flourishing to the world around us.

Midlife often brings big transitions, changes in identity, priorities, relationships, and even our own sense of self. But what if the biggest challenge isn't the circumstances around us, but the stories we tell ourselves about them?In this episode of Message in the Middle, I sit down with Cheryl Fischer, speaker, trainer, event moderator, host of the Mind Your Midlife podcast, and certified Life and Mindset Coach. Cheryl works with women to shift the inner narrative from “I'm stuck” or “I'm not enough” to one of possibility, self-belief, and success.We talk about: ✨ How midlife reinvention often begins with the stories we carry about who we are ✨ Why your inner critic feels so loud in this season of life, and how to quiet it ✨ Simple strategies to build awareness and reframe your self-talk ✨ Rediscovering what truly lights you up when life feels centered on everyone else ✨ Learning to appreciate your body and care for yourself with compassion ✨ The memory “blips” of midlife and why they're more common than we thinkThis isn't about quick fixes—it's about understanding how much power your inner voice holds and learning to shift the narrative so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.Connect with Cheryl:  Free quiz: https://www.cherylpfischer.com/innervoicequizPodcast: https://www.mindyourmidlifepodcast.comIf you like this episode you might want to listen to this one also: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938384/episodes/17710620 Connect with Marianne: Website: Message In The Middle with Marianne Message In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966 Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with Marianne Subscribe to Message In the Middle: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Leave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

What if everything you thought you knew about the Bible's structure was making it harder to understand God's story? Pastor, author, and Bible engagement architect Randy Frazee joins host Robert on Refining Rhetoric to discuss why so many Christians—even those in Bible-believing churches—can't articulate the basic narrative of Scripture. The problem isn't a lack of commitment; it's how the Bible is organized. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       Why chronological Bible reading changes everything (and how The Story makes it accessible) ·       What really happens after you die—and why most Christians have it backwards ·       The surprising biblical truth: heaven isn't the final destination (hint: read Revelation 21-22) ·       Why the Garden of Eden matters for understanding eternity on the new earth ·       How Paul wrote the ultimate treatise on joy... from prison ·       The neuroscience that validates ancient biblical wisdom about depression and anxiety ·       Why gratitude is the #1 weapon against worry (backed by both Philippians and brain science) ·       The loneliness epidemic destroying Americans—and how proximity creates real community ·       Practical ways homeschoolers can combat isolation and build deeper connections Randy brings decades of pastoral wisdom, research-backed insights, and a refreshing perspective on biblical literacy. From explaining why Psalm 51 should be read right after 2 Samuel 11 (David's confession after his fall with Bathsheba) to unpacking why we'll still struggle at golf in the new kingdom (yes, really), this conversation bridges ancient truth and modern science.   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?
