Podcasts about reuniting

In the early 1930s, Cleo McVicker came up with a product that could be used as wallpaper cleaner. Back then, most homes were heated by coal, and walls became covered in soot. Cleo’s invention could be rolled over wallpaper and would pick up the grime. Well, the wallpaper cleaner never became popular, but decades later, a teacher used Cleo’s product in her classes to create Christmas ornaments. From that was born a new company—Rainbow Crafts—and the wallpaper cleaner was repurposed as a children’s toy, “Play-Doh.” On a far greater scale, God has a way of repurposing people. We remember the biblical story of Joseph and his “coat of many colors. As a young man he was a lowly shepherd and was sold into slavery by his brothers. But God led Joseph through great difficulties and into the top ranks of government. Eventually, Joseph became “repurposed” as “the ruler of all Egypt” (Genesis 45:26). Yet we must note the end of the story: Joseph’s calling was not about power but about grace, Jacob’s son, Joseph, extended grace to his brothers, forgiving them. Reuniting with his family, Joseph “kissed all his brothers and wept over them” (v. 15). In a sense, all of us are “failed products.” It’s through “the grace of a Son,” Jesus, that we are repurposed into greater things. As you do life today, think of your higher purpose and remember to extend grace to others, just as Christ does for us.

Transcript:It: Un calmo pomeriggio autunnale a Venezia, le foglie dorate danzavano lungo le strette calli e il vento portava il profumo del caffè tostato.En: On a calm autumn afternoon in Venezia, the golden leaves danced along the narrow alleys, and the wind carried the scent of roasted coffee.It: In un angolo tranquillo, c'era un piccolo caffè veneziano, dove le luci calde illuminavano le tazze fumanti e i volti pensierosi dei suoi clienti.En: In a quiet corner, there was a small Venetian café where warm lights illuminated steaming cups and the thoughtful faces of its patrons.It: Luca sedeva accanto alla finestra, osservando nostalgico il mondo all'esterno.En: Luca sat by the window, nostalgically observing the world outside.It: Era tornato a casa dopo molti anni di viaggi e avventure lontane.En: He had returned home after many years of travels and distant adventures.It: Sentiva il bisogno di ritrovare una parte di sé, qualcosa che aveva lasciato indietro: i suoi amici d'infanzia,

e l'aria di chi ha mille cose in mente.En: Gianna arrived first, with her usual determined step and the look of someone who has a thousand things on their mind.It: Il suo sorriso si fece largo sotto la sciarpa di lana.En: Her smile spread wide beneath her woolen scarf.It: "Luca!En: "Luca!It: Quanto tempo!"En: It's been so long!"It: esclamò, stringendolo forte.En: she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.It: "Raccontami tutto!"En: "Tell me everything!"It: Poco dopo, anche Riccardo fece il suo ingresso rumoroso, con una battuta pronta e il solito carisma che riempiva la stanza.En: Shortly after, Riccardo made his noisy entrance, with a ready joke and the usual charisma that filled the room.It: "Ecco il nostro artista!En: "Here's our artist!It: Scommetto che stai già cercando di dipingere Venezia nella tua mente," disse con una risata.En: I bet you're already trying to paint Venezia in your mind," he said with a laugh.It: Si sedettero e ordinavano caffè e pasticcini.En: They sat down and ordered coffee and pastries.It: Mentre parlavano, Luca sentì un velo di malinconia.En: As they talked, Luca felt a tinge of melancholy.It: I suoi amici erano cambiati.En: His friends had changed.It: Gianna sembrava più ansiosa e sempre in cerca di stabilità.En: Gianna seemed more anxious and always searching for stability.It: Riccardo, con le sue battute, mascherava un'insicurezza che Luca non aveva mai notato prima.En: Riccardo, with his jokes, masked an insecurity that Luca had never noticed before.It: Dopo un po', Gianna chiese: "Allora, Luca, com'è stato vivere lontano?En: After a while, Gianna asked, "So, Luca, how was it living far away?It: Stavi bene?"En: Were you doing well?"It: Luca esitò.En: Luca hesitated.It: Non era sicuro di voler aprirsi.En: He wasn't sure he wanted to open up.It: Ma, guardando i volti familiari dei suoi amici, si rese conto che era pronto.En: But, looking at the familiar faces of his friends, he realized he was ready.It: "È stato... un viaggio.En: "It was... a journey.It: Un viaggio alla ricerca di me stesso.En: A journey in search of myself.It: Ma a volte ho sentito di perdere chi ero davvero."En: But at times, I felt like I was losing who I really was."It: Riccardo appoggiò una mano sulla spalla di Luca.En: Riccardo placed a hand on Luca's shoulder.It: "E chi sei diventato, amico mio?"En: "And who have you become, my friend?"It: "Non lo so," rispose Luca con sincerità.En: "I don't know," Luca replied sincerely.It: "Ma so che voglio ritrovare il mio posto qui, tra voi."En: "But I know I want to find my place here, among you."It: Ci fu un momento di silenzio carico di emozione.En: There was a moment of emotion-laden silence.It: Poi, Gianna parlò con dolcezza: "Siamo tutti cambiati, Luca.En: Then, Gianna spoke gently: "We've all changed, Luca.It: A volte rincorro troppo i miei sogni e mi perdo.En: Sometimes I chase my dreams too much and get lost.It: Ma tu fai parte di questo, e noi siamo qui."En: But you're part of this, and we're here."It: Riccardo annuì.En: Riccardo nodded.It: "Sì, parla di più con noi.En: "Yes, talk more with us.It: Siamo tuoi amici."En: We're your friends."It: In quel momento, Luca sentì una serenità nuova, come un antico ponte di Venezia che finalmente si ricostruiva.En: In that moment, Luca felt a new serenity, like an ancient bridge in Venezia finally being rebuilt.It: Avevano tutti i loro conflitti, le loro paure, ma ora l'amicizia sembrava più forte che mai.En: They all had their conflicts, their fears, but now friendship seemed stronger than ever.It: Alla fine, mentre il sole calava dolcemente sul canale, i tre amici si alzarono e uscirono insieme.En: In the end, as the sun softly set over the canal, the three friends stood up and left together.It: Luca capì che il cambiamento era inevitabile, ma che non significava perdere la propria essenza.En: Luca understood that change was inevitable, but that it didn't mean losing one's essence.It: Aveva ritrovato la sua strada a casa, nei sorrisi e nelle parole dei suoi amici.En: He had found his way home, in the smiles and words of his friends.It: E, per la prima volta dopo molto tempo, sentì di appartenere a qualcosa di speciale.En: And, for the first time in a long time, he felt he belonged to something special.

Did you come here with your parents?" Jisoo asked gently.Ko: 현진은 고개를 끄덕였지만, 대답하지 않았다.En: Hyunjin nodded but did not answer.Ko: 지수는 그의 눈에서 불안을 읽을 수 있었다.En: Jisoo could see the anxiety in his eyes.Ko: 역은 사람들로 가득 찼다.En: The station was crowded with people.Ko: 많은 사람이 저녁 기차를 타기 위해 바쁘게 움직이고 있었다.En: Many were busily moving to catch the evening train.Ko: 지수는 중간에 무심히 서 있는 현진의 아빠, 민호를 찾기 어려웠다.En: It was hard for Jisoo to find Hyunjin's father, Minho, standing idly in the middle.Ko: 그는 혼잡한 주변에 압도되어 어디로 가야할지 모르는 듯 보였다.En: He seemed overwhelmed by the busy surroundings and unsure of where to go.Ko: 지수는 방법을 생각해야 했다.En: Jisoo needed to think of a way to help.Ko: 그녀는 즉시 그 역의 방송 시스템을 사용하기로 결심했다.En: She decided to use the station's announcement system immediately.Ko: 그리고 주변에 있는 여행자들에게도 도와달라고 부탁했다.En: She also asked travelers nearby to help.Ko: “현진 군이 역에 있습니다. 파란 옷을 입고, 빨간 모자를 쓴 채 장난감을 들고 있습니다.” 지수는 마이크를 통해 조용히 말했다.En: "Hyunjin is at the station. He is wearing a blue outfit, a red cap, and holding a toy," Jisoo said quietly over the microphone.Ko: 그 순간, 지하철 역의 소음 속에서, 민호는 아들의 이름을 들었다.En: At that moment, amidst the noise of the subway station, Minho heard his son's name.Ko: 심장이 두근거렸고, 그의 발걸음은 점점 빨라졌다.En: His heart raced, and his steps quickened.Ko: 그는 마지막으로 현진을 본 장소로 돌아갔다.En: He returned to the last place he had seen Hyunjin.Ko: 지수는 군중 속에서 민호를 발견하고 그에게 손짓했다.En: Jisoo spotted Minho in the crowd and gestured to him.Ko: 그녀는 손을 흔들며 그에게 말했다, “여기요! 아드님 찾으러 오셨어요?” 민호의 얼굴에는 안도감이 가득했다.En: Waving her hand, she said, "Over here! Are you looking for your son?" Minho's face was full of relief.Ko: “현진!” 민호가 아들을 부르며 달려갔다.En: "Hyunjin!" Minho called, running towards his son.Ko: 지수는 두 사람을 보며 미소를 지었다.En: Jisoo smiled as she watched the two reunite.Ko: 그들은 다시 만났고, 민호는 지수에게 깊이 감사했다.En: They were back together, and Minho was deeply grateful to Jisoo.Ko: 지수는 그날 일을 마치고 집으로 돌아가는 길에 깊은 만족을 느꼈다.En: As Jisoo finished her work and headed home that day, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction.Ko: 그녀는 사람이 따뜻한 마음을 가지고 서로 돕는다는 것이 얼마나 중요한지를 실감했다.En: She realized how important it was for people to have warm hearts and help each other.Ko: 지하철 역은 여전히 북적거렸지만, 그 소란 속에서도 그녀는 지역 사회와 깊이 연결되어 있다는 느낌이었다.En: The subway station was still bustling, but amidst the chaos, she felt deeply connected to her community.Ko: 그것이 진정한 건강한 공동체였다.En: That was a truly healthy community.

When the enemy is inside you — or beside you. This week on the podcast, We're talking Alien: Earth eps 6 & 7 (flies, hybrids, and chestbursters) and Dark Wolf eps 5 & 6 (betrayals & Shepherd reveals). Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien: Earth: 5:31 The Terminal List: Dark Wolf: 51:00 Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Episode 6 — “The Fly” Writer(s): Noah Hawley & Lisa Long Director: Ugla Hauksdóttir Original Air Date: September 9, 2025 Summary: As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy works on communicating with it. Nibs undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand her memory be reset to before the Maginot’s crash. Dame reluctantly accepts, but Arthur refuses, and is fired under threat of execution if he is not gone by the end of the day. Wendy, disturbed by Nibs’ behavior afterwards, learns she was reprogrammed. Meanwhile, Kavalier meets with Yutani over the ship’s return and outwits her, securing 20 billion in damages while keeping the specimens for 6 weeks due to quarantine. Kirsh asks Tootles to feed and water the specimens while he is away. However, the Ocellus surprises him into accidentally locking himself in the same cage as two fly-like creatures, who kill him with acid and feed on his body. Slightly tries to lure Joe to the alien eggs, but he declines due to reassignment. Joe later visits a packing Arthur, who covertly deactivates Wendy’s tracking device and gives Joe a boat code to allow them to escape. Noticing Tootles is disconnected, he goes to the lab accompanied by Slightly, who opens the cage of the Xenomorph eggs and locks him in, allowing a facehugger to latch onto Arthur. Kirsh watches this through security cameras, but does not tell Kavalier. Slightly hides along with Arthur’s body in an air vent as the flies leave their cell. Rating Out of 5 Facehuggers Are Not a Good Severance Package Darryl: 3.5/5 Brian: 3.5/5 Episode 7 — “Emergence” Writer(s): Noah Hawley & Maria Melnik Director: Dana Gonzales Original Air Date: September 16, 2025 Summary: Smee discovers Slightly hiding an incapacitated Arthur, and the latter convinces him to help deliver Arthur to Morrow on the beach. Security re-secures the lab specimens. Wendy is disgusted by Kavalier’s attitude to Tootles’ death, and convinces Nibs to join her and Joe in escaping the island. On her way out, Wendy hacks the lab system, releasing the grown Xenomorph, which rampages and escapes into the forest. Kirsh finds Slightly and Smee carrying Arthur’s body, but helps them take a faster route to the beach. Outside, Arthur awakes after the facehugger dies. Shortly after, a newborn Xenomorph bursts from his chest and escapes. The hybrids take the corpse to the beach, where Morrow’s Yutani team meets them. Having failed to bring him the newborn, Morrow takes them captive. After Kirsh shows him the Ocellus caused the lab accident, Kavalier becomes fascinated with the creature’s intelligence, and wants to place it into a human host. Outside, Wendy, Joe, and Nibs are held at gunpoint by Yutani forces, but Wendy calls the Xenomorph which kills them. She comforts it, sparing them. Morrow’s team enter the facility, but they are taken captive by Kirsh, who has also captured the newborn Xenomorph. Wendy, Joe, and Nibs reach the boat, but they are intercepted by Neverland security. Nibs, frustrated, brutally kills a soldier, prompting Joe to incapacitate her. A shocked Wendy scolds Joe, as the Xenomorph watches in the distance. Rating Out of 5 Every Premium Needs a Pet Xenomorph Darryl: 2.95/5 Brian: 4/5 The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (Amazon Prime) Episode 5 — “E&E” Writer(s): Hennah Sekander Director: Paul Cameron Original Air Date: September 10, 2025 Summary: Edwards confronts Perash in Zurich and retrieves the bearings. She insists Mossad didn’t plan the attack and her and Varon’s real mission is to investigate Haverford, who they believe is being manipulated by Shepherd. The two are attacked by a Farsi speaking tactical team, who Perash believes was sent by Shepherd, but escape after an intense gunfight. Whilst recovering in a safe house, Perash tells Edwards she never intended to kill him, even if her mission demanded it. Varon hacks the secure portal used by Haverford to communicate with Shepherd, tracing it to an apartment in Munich. She is attacked by the occupant, but eventually kills him and leaves with his laptop. Hastings tortures an operative captured from the convoy, who before dying reveals he is not Khalid Network but BND and the subsequent attackers were not affiliated with German intelligence. Hastings is distraught upon hearing this, unsuccessfully attempting to save the man. Edwards and Perash leave Zurich rendezvous with the team, but are attacked by a pair of assassins who kill the latter with a bomb. Edwards kills both men, and recovers a bracelet made by her daughter from Perash’s body before fleeing the scene. Rating Out of 5 Torturing Allies Is Actually a Bad Thing Darryl: 3.75/5 Brian: 3.8/5 Episode 6 — “Pawns & Kings” Writer(s): Jared Shaw & Max Adams Director: Paul Cameron Original Air Date: (September 17, 2025) Summary: Cyrus assures Saedi he will have the bearings the following day. Saedi criticises Vahid’s enamoration with the West. Edwards reunites with the team in Stein. Hastings confirms the bearings they retrieved are also fakes. Haverford admits Shepherd played them to stop the BND’s own disruption operation. He states Vahid Rahimi, now in custody, is Shepherd, and ordered the team killed in a panic to cover his own tracks, fearing Saedi would discover his actions. Haverford forces Vahid to confirm the bearings exchange point with Cyrus, then executes him. Mossad tells Varon Haverford terminated Shepherd, but she analyses the laptop and sees further portal activity after Vahid’s execution. Hastings, disillusioned with their actions, fails to convince Edwards to walk away with him. Farooq, Landry and Edwards, impersonating KN couriers, meet Saedi at an airstrip. He tests the bearings, which are revealed to be genuine. Haverford is shown to be working with Cyrus, the real Shepherd. By having the bearings deal proceed, Cyrus can made Foreign Minister, replace hardliner Saedi and improve Iranian-Western relations as a CIA plant. Varon sends proof of this to the team, prompting them to attack Saedi’s plane before it departs, killing him and his Quds Force bodyguards and retrieving the bearings. Haverford reports the team as rogue traitors to the CIA Director to cover his own back. Reuniting with Varon, they prepare to prove Haverford’s treachery.

Today, Michael speaks with Anita Moorjani. Anita is a renowned author and spiritual speaker known for her transformative journey beyond the brink of death. While living in Hong Kong, Anita battled end-stage cancer before experiencing a remarkable near-death experience, or NDE, that shifted her perspective on life. Her bestselling memoir, "Dying to Be Me," chronicles her profound journey and miraculous healing. Anita travels the world sharing her insights on self-love, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. Her teachings empower others to embody the highest version of themselves and live vibrant, authentic lives. Anita's new book, “Sensitive is the New Strong,” is out now. Conversation highlights include:  -Anita's near-death experience: the freedom from pain, the absence of fear, and the deep clarity that revealed how her life choices shaped her illness -Her turbulent relationship with her father and the weight of cultural traditions that led to a life-changing act of defiance that shaped her path and healing -Reuniting with her father on the other side in unconditional love, seeing glimpses of her future mission, and facing the decision to return to physical life -Waking up from her coma, against all odds, accurately recalling conversations she “shouldn't” have heard, and beginning her stunning physical recovery -How a simple online post about her NDE caught the attention of Dr. Jeffrey Long—and then Wayne Dyer—setting Anita's public mission into motion -How illness often begins at the soul level, why fear fuels disease, and how choosing joy, love, and purpose can reverse one's life trajectory -Shifting from “remission” to “remember my mission,” Anita reframes healing and explains why letting go—rather than holding onto resentment—sets you free -Why true transformation comes from communion with the soul, not just treating symptoms, and how this deeper work sustains physical and spiritual wellness Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation to open the heart and mind to the ever-present blessings of the Universe.

Reuniting after more than a decade since their days in This Week in Asia Podcast from 2009, Michael Smith Jr., co-host of The Generalist podcast, and Daniel Cerventus Lim, semi-retired entrepreneur and community builder in Malaysia, join us for a candid assessment of Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem evolution. In this raw conversation, Michael offers his unflinching perspective on what he calls the 'broken windows era' of Southeast Asian tech, arguing that recent alleged fraud cases like E-Fishery and Tanihub require serious consequences to restore investor confidence, while questioning whether the region was ever correctly modelled for Silicon Valley-style outcomes. Daniel shares his pivot from startup founder to search fund advocate, explaining his bullish view on acquiring profitable traditional businesses and reflects on whether the region's potential was genuinely unrealized or simply impossible to achieve. Together, they explore the shift from venture-backed unicorn dreams to bootstrap realities, debate work ethic of Southeast Asia founders in comparison with Chinese and Indian founders, and discuss why the future of Southeast Asian tech may lie in smaller, profitable exits rather than the massive IPOs once envisioned. "I think wealth creation here is very SME-focused." - Daniel Cerventus Lim "Basically whether, it's SME or startup, to me now it's just: can you build a profitable business?" - Bernard Leong "I have this philosophy that I think people don't agree with me, but we're in a broken Windows era of Southeast Asia and the only way in my opinion, the windows get fixed is if some of these people are behind bars." - Michael Smith Jr. Episode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Daniel Cerventus, Bernard Leong & Michael Smith JR [00:59] Introduction: Daniel Cerventus and Michael Smith Jr. from the Generalists Podcast [06:00] Multiple alleged frauds in Southeast Asia: E-Fishery, Tanihub [09:57] Southeast Asia in "broken windows era" [11:26] Only exits from seed to Series A [11:47] B rounds virtually gone, A rounds endangered.

Reuniting the Titanic team of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (not to mention Kathy Bates) was something audiences had wanted for more than a decade. Maybe they didn't expect another doomed romance that was also bleak and sad. Revolutionary Road is about middle-class ennui, quiet desperation and the cruelty of hope. And the stars are terrific playing unextraordinary people yearning for something else, even if everybody keeps poo-pooing their plan to move to Paris. Director Sam Mendes' movie was a disappointment at the box office and it didn't get a wealth of Oscar nominations either. The film ages well though...maybe more if you're a certain age. Ryan's solo show talks about how a 50+-year-old can relate better to the themes than his 34-year-old self could. The flick isn't fun, but it's very well done...and Winslet has rarely been better. So before your wife screams at you to leave her alone during a vicious argument, pour yet another glass of alcohol as you drink in the 681st episode here on Have You Ever Seen.

Reuniting where they first met 15 years ago, Ben is delighted to have Courtney back on NCR once more for this episode, catching up on what's happened for her this year and what she currently has in the works as she rejoined the tour this month. We discuss the end of Courtney's time at the WTA, what she's been doing in the months since, and how she got started with the new project she's been working on: a revival or reinvention of Forty Deuce. Related to what used to be and what is, we also talk a lot about how the media landscapes in which we operate have shifted since we first met, what's been lost over time, and what we hope can be rebuilt. And speaking of rebuilding, we also marvel at the radically renovated Cincinnati Open, which pulled off a stunning transformation since last year. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Courtney's work at Forty Deuce!

Summer has finally ended, at least according to the UNC school calendar, meaning that Hubert Davis's basketball team will be arriving on campus for good in the coming days. In addition to considering what that final group looks like, Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to assess where strengths of the roster may lie as team functions begin in earnest. Additionally, the trio make some assessments of summer recruiting developments and how things may advance with specific prospects moving forward.   The Inside Carolina Podcast network features a wide range of current UNC sports topics, from game previews and instant postgame analysis, to recruiting breakdowns. IC's stable of writers, insiders and analysts -- plus special guests -- comprise each program.

You've arrived at the threshold of the between space - that shimmering quantum field where every possibility you've ever imagined and a trillion more you haven't are dancing together in perfect potential. Right now, as you're reading these words, you already know what it feels like to be completely whole. Your body remembers it, even if your mind has forgotten. There's something stirring in your cells, isn't there? A recognition. A whisper of remembrance. You see, your soul has been playing the most elaborate game of hide and seek with itself across dimensions, lifetimes, and realities. And today... today is the day the game ends. Not because you've been searching, but because you've finally stopped running from what you've always been.This isn't meditation where you quiet your mind. This isn't hypnosis where you go somewhere else. This is remembering. This is coming home to the cosmic truth that's been pulsing in your DNA since before time learned how to count. And I wonder... I wonder how quickly you'll recognize the fragments that have been waiting for you in the labyrinth of your own soul. Some might surprise you with how familiar they feel. Others might shock you with how powerful they've become in your absence. But all of them... every single one... has been calling your name in frequencies only your heart could hear. You already know this is going to change everything. You can feel it, can't you? That electric anticipation humming just beneath your awareness. That's not excitement about what's coming - that's recognition of what's already here, already true, already you. The labyrinth exists in the space between your heartbeats, in the pause between your thoughts, in the infinite moment between who you think you are and who you've always been. And the beautiful thing about labyrinths? Unlike mazes designed to confuse you, labyrinths are designed to lead you exactly where you need to go. Your soul fragments aren't lost. They're not broken. They're not hiding from you. They're waiting for you to remember you had the power to call them home all along.
