That friendship breakup with your best girlfriend? The one that blindsided you? Girl, there's a reason it wrecked you more than any ex ever did.Y'all, this conversation is one I didn't know I needed. I sat down with friendship expert and educator Danielle Bayard Jackson to talk about the relationships we don't give nearly enough airtime: our female friendships. We get into why friend breakups cut so deep, how codependency sneaks into our friendships the exact same way it does our romantic ones, and what happens when you start healing and suddenly realize you might be outgrowing your circle. Danielle brings the research and the tough-love truth, and I even unpacked a couple of my own friendship stories right here on the mic.Inside the Episode:Why friendship breakups can hurt more than romantic ones and why nobody teaches us how to grieve themHow to build values-aligned friendships with a slow, gradual pace (yes, the same "earn your vulnerability" energy I teach in dating)Why conflict is the doorway to closeness and how to have the hard conversation instead of quietly canceling someoneIf you've ever felt lonely in a season of growth, questioned your circle, or avoided a hard talk because confrontation feels terrifying this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.Ready to bring secure, healthy connection into every relationship in your life — romantic and platonic?

Send us Fan MailWhy are there so many violins in a symphony orchestra?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the role of the violin section and why it often contains more players than any other group in the orchestra.Because a single violin produces a relatively delicate sound, many players are needed to create the rich, powerful sonority associated with orchestral strings. Violins also perform much of the orchestra's melodic and harmonic material, making them central to the overall musical texture.Large orchestras often include twenty to thirty violins split between first and second violin sections, helping balance the sound of the brass, woodwinds, and percussion.In just sixty seconds, discover why the violin became the largest section of the modern orchestra.Fun FactIn some of the largest late-Romantic works, composers such as Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss called for string sections so large that more than forty violins could be on stage at the same time.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

After Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in late 2024 for the heavyweight championship, the Ukrainian boxer held up a sabre that once belonged to the 17th Century Ukrainian Cossack Hetman,  Ivan Mapeza, who this episode is dedicated to.    Usyk's fortitude spoke to Ukraine's resilience against a larger foe who initiated the type of vainglorious War Tolstoy condemns, with all of his soul, in W&P.Showcasing the weapon was a transcendent moment of Usyk bringing history to Life.  This ability is something Tolstoy shares given who often he reaches into the past to make literary points. In W&P, for example, Tolstoy cites the Classical world and more recent influences. He skillfully adapts the famous quote from Voltaire: "If god did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." The Frenchman also had a well-known correspondence with Catherine II, who some of W&P's characters look to as illustrative of an idealized past. Yet part of her reputation involves keeping so many under serfdom. Voltaire urged her to release her serfs.Quite forgotten is how Voltaire contributed to Mazepa becoming an icon of the Romantic age. Victor Hugo, Lord Byron & Franz List, also elevated Mazepa to a status Tolstoy himself briefly references in his 1857 work “Youth.” Tolstoy wrote that if he reaches the age of 70, he envisions that a lovely young woman could love him as easily as she could love….a Mazeppa.Mazepa was born to a noble Cossack family near Kyiv. His father was a town otaman (leader) and his mother instilled in her son a deep devotion to God and Cossack culture. Mazepa received a European education and served at the Polish royal court.  While quite young, he is said to have fallen in love with the wife of a Polish nobleman and to have been punished through being tied to a wild horse and carried back to the Land of the Cossacks, where he was adopted by one of their communities and rose to leader.  He was Hetman from 1687 – 1709.    Mazepa remains a key figure in Ukrainian-Russian relations given he decided to turn his allegiance to Sweden over the Czar during  the Great Northern War. This conflict was fought between Sweden and an anti-Swedish coalition led by Moscow. This intermittent affair lasted about 20 years and involved control over Northern Europe and the Baltics.  Sweden initially did well causing Peter to move his troops inward and draw Charles to invade.The conflict made its way to Mazepa's Cossacks,  whose status and allegiance greatly changed over the previous generation. Since 1654, many were uneasy allies with the Czar after withdrawing support for Poland.  They now felt subject to excessive demands for troops to be used in projects like building canals and fortresses, where they could be worked to sickness and death and used as proverbial “cannon fodder”Thus, in 1708, Mazepa aligned with Charles, giving him 5,000 Cossacks.  Mazepa felt he was choosing the lesser of two evils. Later that year, there was a race of belligerents to Mazepa's home city of Baturyn.  20,000 Russian soldiers commanded by Alexander Menshikov overwhelmed this military arsenal and food store. When the city fell, there was this infamous slaughter of the civilian population.   A number were tied to makeshift crosses or boards and floated down the local river.The next summer, on June  27, 1709, the armies faced off near Poltava, where Peter & Charles were on-hand directing troops. The Czar prevailed and this turn in history explains why Sweden never became a great power. This battle also had a major role in propelling Russia to their status. Yet that fire in the hearts of Ukrainians for independence was not extinguished over the next few centuries. Today, a Ukrainian state exists which exacts quite the toll on Russian aggression.  Ukrainians revere Mazepa for making the best choice he could.Mazepa was excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox Church and Czar Peter also ordered all portraits of the man destroyed. Similarly, Tolstoy,  was separated from the Orthodox Church in 1901 through a Church Proclamation.  Tolstoy's writing on religion led to the church to declare him as a “false teacher” imbued with “intellectual pride.”   This leads me to the second reference to I have found from Tolstoy on Mazppa, which is the  book “Life of Tolstoy” by Tolstoy's long-time English friend and translator,  Alymer Maude.  Maude describes how Tolstoy studied the life of Mazepa upon a friendly wager as a law student.

Ergo (noice): all statements regarding alleged conduct discussed in this episode are allegations only, and all individuals mentioned are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.The name d4vd used to mean viral music and sold-out concerts. Now, it's at the center of one of the most disturbing criminal cases in recent memory. David Anthony Burke, known to the world as d4vd, presently stands charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and unlawful mutilation of human remains in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors allege he groomed Celeste for years — beginning when she was just 11 years old — and ultimately killed her after she threatened to expose their so-called "relationship" (which is to say: the abuse). He then allegedly dismembered her body with a chainsaw and left her remains to decompose inside his Tesla for months, lying to anyone who noticed the smell. All the while, he allegedly continued performing to sold-out crowds and selling tickets to national and world tours.

Hello and welcome to season nine of Retrograde Amnesia, featuring Skies of Arcadia. In the first (of three) background/information episodes, we'll be talking about the game as it relates to shipping on two GD-ROMs, refusing to appear on modern digital storefronts, becoming crushed by reality, combining World War I & II military ships with the Age of Discovery, communicating with wind, citing influence from Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Dragon Quest III, building the world around six colors, refusing a travel budget, blatantly referencing Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe, forming the Hottie Production Committee, dynamically adjusting the music, eliminating baby talk, "throwing away the Japanese text," and un-mysterying the misdirection.

This morning, Melissa and Austin talked their wild weekends, fought about the Bears future and gave away tickets to Morgan Wallen!

Tyler left his date feeling pretty confident. No awkward pauses, no obvious red flags, just good conversation and a lot of laughs with Brooke in Walnut Creek. He thought the vibe was there.

Episode 720 - Hollis Jo McCollum - Epic Dark Fantasy with Inspired Romantic SubplotsIn this lively author episode, Dave is joined by dark fantasy writer and podcaster Hollis Jo McCollum for an unscripted, improv flavored conversation about creativity, connection and the realities of podcasting as an author. Hollis broadcasts from Suwanee, in the north metro Atlanta area, where she loves the local community, walking trails and especially the vibrant Korean cafes and markets that have become part of her daily rhythm. Her podcast is called “I Do What I Want!” which she describes as both a catchphrase and a mindset; she is not belligerent, but proudly stubborn about creating on her own terms, using improv skills instead of heavy editing and embracing a live, unedited format on YouTube and Spotify so listeners see the authentic process, cats and all.Throughout the conversation, Hollis traces how improv, drama club and “yes, and” thinking shaped her confidence and on mic presence, and she and Dave dig into the importance of being fully present in conversations. That leads to a thoughtful tangent on how phones and constant screen time are eroding social skills and problem solving in younger generations, illustrated by a story about a Gen Z teen who is anxious about a simple interaction asking for napkins and by Hollis's partner's candid street photography full of “nose to phone” subjects. Both hosts advocate for being more present, talking to actual humans, and deliberately stepping outside comfort zones as a path to growth, creativity and better podcasting.Hollis then shares the origin of “I Do What I Want!” which began as a single planned episode about the Dungeons and Dragons campaign that inspired her novel “To Save a World,” recorded with her best friend of over thirty years. Unsure how to start, she actually hired a production company to help her set up her mic, hosting and Spotify presence, and discovered she loved the format enough to keep going, mostly solo, with occasional author friends as relaxed guests. That experience taught her how critical scheduling is: she originally aimed for longer, twice monthly episodes but quickly learned that with a full time job, writing, marketing and life responsibilities, she needed a realistic rhythm. Now she anchors the show to one live episode on the last Sunday of each month, built on a simple half page outline with a few milestones, trusting that the format and voice will naturally evolve over time rather than being over planned from the start.The episode also touches on her voice acting work, where she leans into character voices like the insidious villain Simoom, and on her strong feelings about listeners speeding up audiobooks and performance heavy podcasts. For Hollis, pacing, pauses and breathing are integral to emotional impact, so compressing audio feels like stripping respect from the performer and story, even though she concedes some people prioritize efficiency. As the conversation closes, Hollis talks about why podcasting remains worthwhile even though she is not chasing huge download numbers; it gives readers and potential fans a way to discover her personality, ask questions and connect outside crowded conventions. https://www.hollisjomccollumauthor.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

The Jungle welcomes back a returning presence in Episode 140 as Emperor Justice Royce steps back into the den, this time with even more motion behind his name. From viral Instagram success to stepping into the film world, Royce comes in with momentum — and a perspective shaped by turning visibility into opportunity. The conversation taps into what it really takes to stay relevant when attention spans are short, and how discipline plays a role when the spotlight finally hits. The music segment sets the tone with a blend of eras and styles. Chase B and Big Sean's “Facts” sparks a conversation about confidence records and whether messaging still matters as much as delivery. Mexican OT's “Need That” keeps the energy grounded in hunger and regional sound, leading to a discussion about how certain artists carry their environment into every track. Ne-Yo revisiting “Sexy Love” as part of 20 Years of Love brings nostalgia into the room, opening dialogue about timeless records and what separates classics from moments. Bruno Mars' “The Romantic” continues that thread, raising questions about whether modern music is missing that level of intentional passion and storytelling. From there, the Jungle dives into the culture. Lil Yachty calling OG hip hop trash sparks a generational debate that quickly turns into respect versus evolution — who gets to critique the foundation, and how far is too far? Netflix reportedly losing ground to Paramount opens a bigger conversation about the streaming wars, shifting power, and how content is being consumed differently than ever before. And when DDG and Kai Cenat claim they helped make Twitch mainstream, it leads into a deeper breakdown of influence, credit, and how the internet rewrites history in real time. As always, the real heat comes in the relationship segment. The squad leans into a more raw and unfiltered conversation, starting with the idea of personal “niches” — what about someone's identity or lifestyle tends to attract attention, and why? Then comes a high-stakes hypothetical: if you were offered ten million dollars to leave your partner for ten years, no contact, no loopholes — is love really winning over that kind of opportunity? The conversation balances humor and honesty as it shifts into playful but revealing territory, before landing on something deeper — do people fall in love with who someone is right now, or the idea of who they could become? Episode 140 is bold, funny, and introspective all at once. It's about growth, attention, legacy, and the choices people make when opportunity, desire, and reality all collide.

Is Actually Romantic one of the most savage songs on Life of a Showgirl? In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we break down every lyric, reference, and rumored feud packed into this diss track.We dive into the very intentional lines, the toy chihuahua comparison, and the ultimate diss moment when Taylor sings, “No man has ever loved me like you do.” We unpack the theories connecting the song to Charli XCX, the long history of rumored tension surrounding the Reputation Stadium Tour, “Sympathy Is a Knife,” Matty Healy connections, and the subtle ways Taylor may be flipping criticism into power.Plus, we talk about why this song feels so different from Taylor's past feud songs like Blank Space, Look What You Made Me Do, Karma, and I Forgot That You Existed, and why it's considered ‘rage bait' in the best possible way.We also discuss:Taylor's own explanation of the songThe Weezer-style influenceThe misogynist reason why ‘Taylor Swift went too far', and the male celebrity feuds that are acceptableHow ‘Actually Romantic' turns hate into obsession… and obsession into comedyIf you love Taylor's witty songwriting, layered easter eggs, and unapologetic confidence, this episode is for you.What do you think of this song?

Your nine-year-old says another girl on her soccer team is pretty, and now she's worried she might be gay. How do you respond?In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz works through a real parent's question and gives Christian families three biblical truths to teach their kids:We are all drawn to beauty by design, because God Himself is the source of all beauty.It is natural to be drawn to people of the same sex we want to be like, not be with.Even a child who grows up experiencing same-sex attraction can still honor God in that struggle.Along the way, Elizabeth shares stories from her own middle school years and a single profound question from a friend in apologetics that reframes the conversation entirely.

Tales of Health: Illness, Disability, and Citizenship in the Romantic National Tale (Liverpool UP, 2026) is about the way the Romantic National Tale exercises power and defines the boundaries of citizenship through the categories of health, illness, and disability. When we see these categories at work in these novels, we understand how socio-political belonging is premised on the conception of the healthy body, to the exclusion of bodies deemed otherwise. Employing the medical humanities and, especially, the social determinants of health, this book shows that the National Tale achieves its consolidation of the nation through its enforcement of a rigorous politics of health that polices its characters' and citizens' bodies. Focusing on novels from Sydney Owenson, Maria Edgeworth, Germaine de Staël, Walter Scott, and Jane Austen allows this argument to show that the imbricated concerns of health and citizenship extend well beyond the immediate anxiety roused by the implementation of the 1800 Act of Union. This book argues that, by prioritizing the categories of health, illness, and disability, we better understand how power and citizenship function in this widely influential early nineteenth-century genre of Romantic fiction and, thus, how we continue to envision citizenship as an extension of bodily characteristics. Matthew L. Reznicek is Associate Professor of Medical Humanities at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where he uses eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British and Irish literature to explore the impact of social, historical, and cultural factors in the experience of medicine and health. Victoria Oana Lupașcu is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies at University of Montréal.

Do you believe in love that lasts forever?It's a beautiful idea—the language of films and novels. We all long to find that one person we can love endlessly. But is that truth, or is it just a dream? After all, everything in this physical world changes. It ages, it fades, it comes and goes.So what makes love different? Why would love be the exception?This is not just a philosophical question—it shapes everything. The choices we make, the commitments we're willing to fight for. If everything is temporary, how deeply do we invest? Why give ourselves fully to something that won't last?And yet, we can't let go of the idea. Something in us insists that love can be eternal.So is it real—or is it illusion?The answer depends on one thing: what do you mean by love?

Last month, 21-year-old singer David(D4VD) was arrested in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her family reported her missing multiple times back in the spring of 2024. Then, in September 2025, her dismembered remains were found inside a Tesla registered to David.

Thank you to Jerry for sponsoring today's episode on Patreon! Goethe's Faust is considered to be the greatest work of German literature. This sprawling, 2-part play occupied Goethe's life for nearly 60 years, from its original version, begun in 1772, all the way to Goethe's final revisions before his death. It inspired just about every Romantic era composer who came after it, including Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Berlioz, Gounod, Mahler, and our subject for the show today, Franz Liszt. Liszt, who was in many ways the world's first pop star, was initially skeptical of Faust, saying that he couldn't relate to the eponymous main character of the play. He wrote: "Faust's personality scatters and dissipates itself; he takes no action, lets himself be driven, hesitates, experiments, loses his way, considers, bargains, and is interested in his own little happiness." But slowly, Liszt began to be taken in by this remarkable play and decided to try his hand at a reflection on it, writing a massive, 3-movement, 75-minute-long symphony that never attempts to tell the story of Faust, but instead reflects on the psychological nature of the 3 central characters: Faust, Gretchen, and Mephistopheles (the Devil). A lot of English-speaking listeners will know this as the story of a man who sold his soul to the devil, but for Goethe it was much more than that, and it was for Liszt as well. I've never talked about Liszt on the show, because frankly I've never been in love with his music. But this is one of the great things that these Patreon-sponsored episodes can do — help me discover pieces that I've never come across before. So today, we're going to talk about Liszt, Faust, and then take a stab at some of the greatest moments in this symphony. We'll talk about thematic transformation, a technique Liszt essentially invented and which is a vital part of understanding this piece.
