On today's episode of The Literary Life Podcast with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks, we continue our series on Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Before jumping into chapters 6-12, Angelina and Thomas re-cap chapter 5 so that they can keep the entire Lowood School storyline together. They discuss the character of Helen and how she mirrors Jane, as well as the images of fire and ice throughout this book. In looking at the character of Miss Temple, they also highlight her as the picture of a well-ordered person. When Jane arrives at Thornfield, we find more fairy tale and Gothic novel elements, specifically the reference to the story of Bluebeard. Finally, when Mr. Rochester is introduced, Angelina shares some thoughts on the medieval understanding of the soul and the passions.

What happens when a multimedia entrepreneur and a concert venue owner sit down for a live podcast? A good conversation – with a couple beers – about creativity, grit, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. In the first live episode of the year, recorded at The Argo in Milwaukee as part of Manufacturing Happy Hour's 10-year anniversary, host Chris Luecke sits down with two longtime friends: Andrew J. Coate, co-founder of The Argo (a 700-capacity venue his team transformed from a historic 1950s cinema in under seven months), and Michael O'Sullivan, Creative Director at Motivation Media. Together they dig into the creative process, building businesses from the ground up, co-founder dynamics, and the long-term friendships that shape your best work.

What if the term “provider” has no Nazi roots whatsoever, and the claim that it does actually harms important conversations about healthcare? In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits with Dr. Volke Roelcke and Dr. Mical Raz as they trace the real origins of “provider” to the rise of U.S. health insurance: early Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans in the 1930s, then Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, when neutral language was needed to describe anyone delivering a paid clinical service; hospitals, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, everyone. The myth began with a single unfortunate mistranslation of the Nazi-era German term “Krankenbehandler” (a stigmatizing label restricting Jewish physicians to treating only Jewish patients) and exploded after a 2019 blog post.  They show how repeating this falsehood trivializes the actual persecution of Jewish doctors under the Nazis, turns physicians (one of the most privileged and highly paid professions in the world) into a faux “marginalized group,” dilutes the power of calling out real harm to truly vulnerable populations, and distracts from genuine issues like scope creep and regulation.  The conversation also highlights the importance of respecting expertise: physicians in medicine, historians in history, and why peer-reviewed journals should not let sweeping historical claims pass without proper review. Three Actionable Takeaways When you hear the “provider = Nazi” claim, correct it in one sentence: “The term has zero Nazi origins, it comes from U.S. health-insurance history. Here's the open-access JGIM article.” Respect expertise the same way we demand it in medicine: don't make or publish big historical claims if you don't speak the language or read the sources, doctors aren't historians any more than historians are surgeons. Focus energy on real solutions for professionalism and autonomy; lobbying, education, trust-building, clear regulation, instead of weaponizing the Holocaust for terminology battles. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school! About the Guests: Dr. Volke Roelcke is a German historian of medicine and the biomedical sciences whose work focuses on 20th-century medicine, especially under the Nazi regime and the ethical history of human-subject research. He trained in medicine, completed specialist training in psychiatry, and served for over 20 years as Professor of the History of Medicine and Director of the Institute for the History, Theory and Ethics of Medicine at Justus Liebig University Giessen before retiring. He was a member and briefly co-chair of the Lancet Commission on Medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust. Dr. Mical Raz is the Charles E. and Dale L. Phelps Professor in Public Policy and Health at the University of Rochester, where she also practices internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital. Her grandfather left Berlin for Israel in 1933; most of his family perished in the Holocaust. She teaches undergraduates about insurance systems and has published extensively on child welfare, poverty, and coercive interventions. Her books include The Lobotomy Letters, What's Wrong with the Poor?, Abusive Policies, and Making Families. Article:  Physicians or Providers: Inventing Nazi Origins, undermines Debates on Medical Professionalism.  About the Host: Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

Rev. Jim Harden is president and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. They are saving lives in places like Buffalo, Rochester, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, New York. Theirs is one of many centers targeted with criminal activity including firebombs, vandalism and threats. Despite the fact that abortion clinics are closing, abortion numbers are rising. Much of this is due to the abortion pill, Mifepristone, which has become the most common method of abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's research arm), Mifepristone accounts for about 63% of all abortions. Not only does this method take the life of the baby in the womb, women increasingly are becoming injured from it. Late last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case of Missouri v. FDA, doubling down on its claim that pro-life states and women harmed by abortion drugs lack standing and are not suffering ongoing harm from the FDA's policy of allowing deadly abortion drugs to be sent through the mail. Numerous other aspects related to the topic of abortion were covered including: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently named a Planned Parenthood lawyer in order to protect abortion. Senator Josh Hawley's Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. The University of Oregon will offer chemical abortion pills to students beginning this fall. March 10th was Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. What major challenges are facing the pro-life movement today? Are there individuals trying to co-opt Christianity for their pro-abortion causes?

Brian Piper is an author, keynote speaker, and the Director of Content Strategy and Assessment at the University of Rochester. But he's also a man who's spent decades jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Brian about his 3,000+ skydive career, the terrifying reality of "proximity flying," and why his first wedding involved a formation of four Elvis impersonators in freefall. In this episode we learned: Why Brian originally said "absolutely not" to jumping out of planes until the Army offered him an extra $100 a month in hazard pay. The difference between round and square parachutes (and why one feels like hitting a wall while the other lets you stand up). What it's like to have a "Liza Minnelli" moment (a student panicking) while strapped to someone in a tandem jump. The reality of "proximity flying" and why Brian draws the line at a 25% mortality rate. Why tandem jumps are the ultimate bonding experience—and why the small talk inside the plane is the most awkward part. The story of the "Flying Elvises" at Brian's first wedding.

President Trump said this weekend that the United States demands the total, unconditional surrender of Iran. Then he said that a surrender might be whatever Donald Trump decides it to be. Senator Lindsey Graham says the Trump administration is already planning its next hit for Cuba. But does that mean the Iran war will end quickly, without democratic rights for the Iranian people? What are the goals exactly? Our guests discuss it. In studio: Hein Goemans, Ph.D., professor of political science and director of the Peter D. Watson Center for Conflict and Cooperation at the University of Rochester, author of “War and Punishment,” and co-author of "Leaders and International Conflict" Randy Stone, Ph.D., professor of political science and director of the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies at the University of Rochester; and author of "Controlling Institutions," "Lending Credibility," and "Satellites and Commissars" ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Grief. Death. Loss.Deep breath. Stay with me.  (The name of the podcast should have warned you!) In this episode, I sit down with life transition coach and death doula Jennifer Sanfilippo (www.jennifer-sanfilippo.com) to talk about something we ALL experience… but rarely talk about well.PLOT TWIST: grief isn't just about death! We explore how unacknowledged losses (like career shifts, identity changes, empty nests, layoffs, divorces and all that) quietly shape our resilience. Because if we don't learn how to face the small griefs, the big ones hit even harder.We dive into:How to support someone who's grieving (without saying the wrong thing)Why grief absolutely belongs in workplace conversationsHow open discussions about death and loss actually build resilience and connectionJennifer also shares her powerful journey from the financial industry to becoming a life transition coach after the loss of her husband, and why creating space for grief is one of the bravest things we can do.Yes, we talk about death, and yes, we laugh because grief and joy can coexist. If you've ever felt unsure what to say… avoided the topic… or tried to “stay strong” instead of feeling… this conversation is for you.Chapters03:08 Understanding Grief and Loss05:57 The Journey from Finance to Life Coaching12:03 Building Bridges of Compassion17:55 Death Cafes: Creating Safe Spaces for Conversation24:02 Navigating Grief in the WorkplaceJennifer Sanfilippo, MBA, is a certified end-of-life doula and executive coach.
