Podcasts about Reprieve

The only constant is change. You've heard it a thousand times. But here's what the cliche leaves out: Change may be inevitable, but how you respond to it — and who you become because of it — that part's up to you. Maya Shankar knows a thing or two about this. She's studied change as a cognitive scientist, explored it on her podcast “A Slight Change of Plans,” and now written a book — The Other Side of Change — about how the hardest moments of our lives can transform us … for the better. In the book, she tells remarkable stories of people overcoming colossal change — debilitating diagnoses, amnesia, incarceration — and extracts universal lessons grounded in the latest science. “When a big change happens to us,” she tells us in this episode, “it can feel like a personal apocalypse of sorts. And that the word apocalypse comes from the Greek word apokálypsis, which actually means revelation. That etymology is instructive. Change can upend us, yes. But it can also reveal things to us.” * * * Watch The Next Big Idea on YouTube! You can find our episodes ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

Springfield, near Dayton, is on edge after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., this week blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end temporary protected status for about 15,000 Haitian immigrants in the area. The ruling is expected to be appealed. How long will the reprieve last? And will a surge in federal immigration enforcement follow? We will begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” with a discussion in how officials are responding to reports of a potential immigration enforcement surge, and what residents are doing to prepare for the worse. Former Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court Judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze pleaded guilty to a felony count of tampering with records, acknowledging she steered a divorce case to her own docket and made it appear the assignment was random. She then appointed a close friend as a receiver, a role that had earned the friend hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years. The bribery trial of two top FirstEnergy executives began in Akron. In opening statements, defense attorneys argued that payments made to the state's top utilities regulator were legitimate business expenses and portrayed the regulator — who later died by suicide — as a corrupt official who stole the money. Cleveland will take a new approach to responding to mental health crises, one that does not involve police, after City Council passed Tanisha's Law. And the Cavaliers shaved three players in recent trades and added a new beard.

One of the first executive orders issued by President Trump in January was EO 14164 designed to “restore the death penalty”, though actually aimed at far more (including making the prison conditions of those commuted by Biden reflect the “monstrosity” of their crimes). We will explore what this means for the 2,400 people on America's death row, at the same time as reviewing the rising levels of innocent people being executed – my own ‘Post Mortem Project' indicating that as many as 13 percent of those killed since 1976 have strong innocence cases. This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford-Smith on the 4th of December 2025 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonClive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of  the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates. He was the Senior Prefect at Radley College, where he studied maths and science; then a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), where he took a degree in Politics; and a Stone Merit Scholar each of his three years at Columbia Law School, graduating in 1984. He previously founded and directed the legal action charities Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (1993 in New Orleans) and Reprieve (1999 in London).

This episode of Visual Intonation Podcast sits with Haitian American filmmaker and DJ Hans Augustave and listens closely to what happens in the quiet. Best known for shorts like I Held Him, Before I Knew, and the recent Nwa (Black), Augustave makes work that slows the room down and asks you to stay. His films are short, but they linger, circling tenderness, masculinity, and the complicated inheritance of Black identity.Nwa, which means Black in Haitian Creole, grounds the conversation. Set largely in a Brooklyn barbershop, the film explores cultural conflict, father and son dynamics, and the uneasy process of belonging. Augustave talks about growing up Haitian, French born, and New York raised, moving between languages, neighborhoods, and expectations. That layered upbringing becomes the engine of his storytelling, where no single version of Blackness is allowed to stand alone.The discussion turns intimate as Augustave recounts the personal origins of I Held Him, a seven minute short born from heartbreak, longing, and the simple human need to be held. He reflects on silence as a creative choice, on stillness as a kind of truth telling, and on why tenderness between men is so rarely shown without explanation or apology. Influenced by filmmakers like Steve McQueen, he trusts the audience enough to let discomfort do some of the work.Across film, music, and his sober curious dance party Reprieve, Augustave sees creativity as a tool for healing and connection. He speaks about collaboration, about directing as a form of listening, and about showing Black men as soft, loving, and whole. This conversation is less an interview than an invitation to breathe, to feel, and to reconsider what strength can look like when it is allowed to be gentle.Hans Augustave's Website and Socials:https://www.hansaugustave.com/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6091891/https://www.instagram.com/hanzifilms/?hl=enhttps://vimeo.com/hansaugustaveSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Chesapeake Bay officials have elected Gov. Josh Shapiro to lead a regional agreement to help clean and restore the waterway which gets its largest source of freshwater from Pennsylvania. The first-term Democrat will take the reins of the Chesapeake Executive Council at a tumultuous time for the forty-year-old partnership. A growing number of people are struggling to pay utility bills as the price of electricity soars. Many Pennsylvania residents cannot be disconnected, starting this month. A bill requiring Philadelphia establishments to charge customers 10 cents for paper bags recently became law. The Trump administration has reversed course again on a new air pollution rule for coke oven plants. The White House is now granting two-year waivers on the rule, which affects U.S. Steel. A 26-year-old hunter was shot Tuesday morning, rescued from a remote area of Juniata County and taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says the man was part of a hunting party of 24 people. A progressive group is targeting two Senate Democrats and an independent senator who voted to confirm some of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees. The group "Demand Justice" has launched a weeklong advertising campaign against Democrats John Fetterman and Maggie Hassan and independent Angus King. As pharmacy closures continue across Pennsylvania, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is questioning how the Shapiro administration is following through on the promises of a 2024 law created to support pharmacies. And some news that affects WITF, our sister newsroom of two years at LNP Lancaster Online, and Pennon - our parent organization. Pennon will be gifting LNP Lancaster Online to a newly formed nonprofit, Always Lancaster, to be led by award-winning journalist David Greene.

In March 2022, the council had planned a vote to remove Prince Andrew's “Freedom of the City of York” honour — a symbolic title granted in 1987. However, just before the meeting, a coronavirus outbreak struck among several councillors. Because of that, the extraordinary meeting was first moved online, then cancelled altogether. The outbreak effectively derailed the council's effort to act immediately, postponing any decision until a later date.When the council reconvened, the vote finally took place in late April 2022 — and the council voted unanimously to strip him of the honour. That removal marked a public, formal severing of his civic link to York. The delay caused by COVID had bought a few weeks of limbo, but ultimately did not prevent the council from following through on its plan once public-health conditions allowed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Reflecting on my past life, my struggles with alcohol, and the missed opportunities, I have dedicated myself to sharing my life story with others. I sincerely hope that you may avoid the pitfalls of self-destruction and instead embark on a path of self-discovery and fulfillment. I have achieved this through the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program, which has brought me happiness, joy, and freedom. It has also restored my relationships with God, myself, others, and my country, beginning with my community.

Awakening to my own foolishness, I reaffirm my commitment to avoid actions that jeopardize my family, reputation, and integrity.

111025 Shutdown Shenanigans, Russia's Ukraine Offensive, Syria Sanction Reprieve, Mamdani and the Police Chief by The News with Paul DeRienzo

Today's Headlines: The government shutdown just passed 40 days, but there's finally a flicker of hope: the Senate reached a tentative deal to reopen the government through January, with at least 10 Democrats agreeing to back a short-term funding bill in exchange for a vote next month on extending Obamacare tax credits—a proposal many Democrats previously called “laughable.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits, and Trump's USDA quickly told states to stop processing payments. Trump also floated a flurry of financial gimmicks over the weekend—like 50-year mortgages, direct cash “subsidies,” and a $2,000 tariff dividend—while his own Treasury Secretary contradicted him on national TV. Abroad, Trump met with Hungary's Viktor Orbán, granting him a sanctions exemption on Russian oil in exchange for $600 million in U.S. gas contracts. The shutdown is also stalling weapons sales to Ukraine and NATO allies and causing massive flight delays ahead of Thanksgiving. Elsewhere, Cornell struck a controversial deal with the administration to restore funding after discrimination probes, Florida sued Planned Parenthood over abortion pill safety (again, against all science), and in Virginia, a 19-year-old college student beat his former high school teacher in a local election—proving democracy sometimes delivers sequels no one saw coming.

Dmitry Ivanovich Khvostov (1757-1835) might be the worst poet who ever lived. Pathologically prolific and delusional dedicated to a craft for which he had no talent, he continued to write and publish his poetry despite the pleadings of friends, loved ones, critics, and the public. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Ilya Vinitsky and translator James H. McGavran III about their book, The Graphomaniac: A Literary-Historical Discussion of Dmitry Khvostov as a Reprieve from Teaching, the Vanity of Worldly Affairs, and Melancholy Reflections Brought On by the Loss of a Front Tooth, Together with the Current Cultural and Political Situation. PLUS Stephanie Sandler (The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989-2022), an expert in Russia's Golden Age of literature and Russian contemporary poetry, stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

In this deeply personal and hope-filled episode, Scott and Deb open up about Scott's 27-year journey of sobriety and redemption through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. With honesty and humility, Scott shares how grace has replaced guilt, how surrender became strength, and how faith has transformed recovery into a daily walk with the Savior. Together, Scott and Deb explore the power of hope, the beauty of second chances, and the truth that no one is beyond Christ's reach.

Changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which begin to take effect this week, could imperil eligibility for thousands of Vermonters.

For Shabbat T'Shuvah, Rabbi Schiller looks at Psalm 51 and how David was able to overcome his guilt by engaging in real Repentance (versus mere Remorse) and walking in true Regeneration (versus a mere Reprieve). David cries out, “Create in me a clean heart,” thereby asking for the New Birth!

Have you ever wondered where the fight to save wild horses is headed? In this episode, I take you on a journey that began 21 years ago, when I first discovered that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was planning to remove most of the wild horses from Adobe Town, a herd I had grown to love. Through 22 roundups across five states, I've photographed and shared the painful reality of the BLM's actions.   The recent 10th Circuit Court victory gave us hope, ruling that the BLM's plan to eliminate three Wyoming herds was illegal. But the fight is far from over. This week, our group filed a lawsuit that resulted in a victory: the BLM has delayed its scheduled roundup, temporarily protecting nearly 3,000 wild horses. Tune in to hear the actions that need to be taken to protect these wild horses and ensure their long-term survival on our public lands.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/58  

In episode 56 of Going anti-Viral, Dr Steven Grinspoon joins host Dr Michael Saag to discuss managing cardiovascular health in people with HIV. Dr Grinspoon is a clinician in the Neuroendocrine and Pituitary Tumor Clinical Center and faculty member at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is a clinical researcher who studies hypothalamic control of body weight and fat distribution in obesity and lipodystrophy with a focus on the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of visceral fat accumulation. Dr Grinspoon provides an overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV including a review of the REPRIEVE study that evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV. Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon detail the REPRIEVE study results demonstrating that statins lower baseline low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and discuss the cardiovascular health benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol levels. They discuss arterial plaque, how it is measured and whether plaque can regress individuals on statins. Finally, Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon discuss goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVE and other studies looking into the benefits of statins in other populations.0:00 – Introduction1:28 – Overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV 3:23 – Overview of the REPRIEVE study, which evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV10:51 – REPRIEVE study results lowering baseline LDL cholesterol                       13:26 – Follow-up studies in people who do not have HIV16:20 – How plaque is measured in the arteries19:40 – Regression of plaque in patients using statins 21:15 – Top goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVEResources: REPRIEVE Study: https://www.reprievetrial.org/ __________________________________________________Produced by IAS-USA, Going anti–Viral is a podcast for clinicians involved in research and care in HIV, its complications, and other viral infections.

This podcast episode delivers critical insights into the current landscape of the furniture industry, with a particular emphasis on the implications of tariff policies and inflationary pressures. The extension of the tariff pause on Chinese imports for an additional 90 days has provided a temporary reprieve, yet it simultaneously exacerbates the uncertainty surrounding supply chains and pricing strategies. Notably, the introduction of a new 25% tariff on imports from India further complicates the sourcing landscape, compelling businesses to reassess their cost structures and supply chain strategies. Consumer sentiment reveals a palpable caution regarding spending, with significant portions of the populace indicating a preference for essentials over discretionary purchases, which poses substantial challenges for retailers. Amidst these complexities, there exists a pivotal opportunity for businesses to cultivate trust with the emerging Gen Z demographic, who prioritize transparent communication and reliable service, thereby positioning themselves favorably in a competitive market.Takeaways: The recent extension of China tariff pauses offers a brief reprieve for furniture businesses, allowing strategic planning amidst inflationary pressures. With the new tariffs imposed on Indian imports, furniture retailers must recalibrate their sourcing strategies to mitigate increased costs. Consumer sentiment indicates a significant shift towards prioritizing essential purchases, posing challenges for furniture retailers during the upcoming holiday shopping season. The rise in furniture prices, attributed to inflation, necessitates immediate adaptations in pricing strategies to maintain competitiveness in the market. Gen Z consumers demonstrate a pronounced inclination towards brands that foster trust and transparency, indicating a pivotal opportunity for furniture retailers. Despite rising retail vacancies, the overall demand for prime locations remains robust, suggesting that careful market positioning can yield advantages for furniture businesses.

Last-minute changes in the House budget reconciliation bill included scrapping one of the more controversial amendments that would have sold off public lands in the southwest to private developers. But the overall bill isn't a complete win for the environment, with even deeper cuts to clean energy tax credits added at the last minute. Also, a new White House memo instructs federal agencies to disregard the economic impacts of climate change in their regulations and permitting decisions. This metric is known as the “social cost of carbon” and it has been used for decades to guide policy so that it considers the economic realities of our changing climate. Plus, seagrass is a foundation of marine ecosystems and stores as much as 35 times more carbon than a tropical rainforest, but warming ocean temperatures and other threats are wiping seagrass out. There is hope, though, as a project to “garden” or cultivate more resilient varieties is making waves along the U.S. East Coast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
