More To The Story: It's impossible to overstate rapper Tupac Shakur's influence on music and culture in the 1990s. One of the era's bestselling musical artists, Tupac helped define West Coast hip-hop through vulnerable, introspective lyrics and Black power politics. By his own admission, sports writer Jeff Pearlman is not the rapper's likeliest biographer. But as he waited for what he called “the big, fat biography” of Tupac, his impatience and long-standing fascination with the rapper got the best of him. So he set out to write it himself. On this week's episode, Pearlman talks about his book Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur; discusses how Tupac's Black Panther mother, Afeni Shakur, shaped her son; and examines the nuance and mystery surrounding Tupac's life and death almost 30 years later.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: The 24 Best Books We Read in 2025 (Mother Jones)Listen: Baltimore Mayor to Trump: Don't Send Your Troops (More To The Story)Read: Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur (Mariner Books)Note: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.

Chris joins the pod and gets unfiltered about growing up poor, being relentlessly bullied, marrying and having children with a woman, coming out, and relocating to America. Chris opens up about his near-fatal suicide attempt, and the dark side of celebrity culture which many fans don't see. Beauty, stereotypes, family dynamics, we vent about it all, and break down why your roots don't definite you!

O'Farrell's 2020 novel ‘Hamnet' was adapted into an award-winning film last year. She co-wrote the screenplay. It's about the grief Shakespeare and his wife Agnes struggle with after their son, Hamnet, dies of the plague, and how that grief leads him to write the play Hamlet. O'Farrell's new novel, ‘Land,' is about the lives of an Irish family living in the aftermath of the Great Famine. Even though she writes historical novels, she tries not to lean too much into history: “I find there's nothing that makes me put a book down faster than if somebody is trying to show me that they've done all their homework,” she says. ‘Land' is in part based on her family. Critic Maureen Corrigan reviews Classicist Mary Beard's new book ‘Talking Classics.'See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

I examine the soul of MAGA—what MAGA really means—by refuting two schools of thought, the Never Trumpers and the anti-Trump Right.

(1) In 92 AD, at their Londinium wine bar, Gaius and Germanicus critique the "American way of war," arguing it has failed by abandoning war's sacred ritual roots. In antiquity, war forged civic bonds and served as an apotheosis where performance and sacrifice mattered more than victory. They contrast the "nation in arms" with the modern "emperor system" that relies on hired soldiers. Citing Spartan mothers who wept for surviving sons and celebrated the fallen, they emphasize that honor was the true goal. The transition to "whole of government" strategies reflects a late-Roman decline.550 BCE

This summer on Equip & Empower with Christine Caine, we're answering the question: what does it actually look like to live a rooted, resilient, and fruitful life? We're starting not with survival, but with possibility. A rooted life isn't just a stable life — it's a life capable of believing God for the impossible. And most of us have confused those two things. We want to be steady. We want to be safe. But Christine Caine opens this summer series with a provocation: the moment your situation stops being impossible is the moment you stop needing God. Roots aren't just for holding you in place. They're what make everything else possible. In this opening episode, Christine draws the line between intellectual faith and active trust — the difference between believing in God and believing God. For the thing in front of you.  For the miracle that seems too far.  For the promise you've nearly stopped praying for. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ What's the difference between believing in God and actually believing God — for my specific situation? ✅ How do I trust God when the people I should have been able to trust have hurt me? ✅ Can God really rebuild what's broken in me before He can use me for something bigger? ✅ How do I step out in faith when I'm still carrying wounds from my past? ✅ Why do I keep praying for a miracle but pulling back from anything that actually requires one? ✅ What does it mean to be rooted — and why does it matter for the life I'm trying to build? ✅ Is it possible to flourish after abandonment, betrayal, or brokenness? …then this is your episode.

Ethical henna practice is a phrase that gets used without always being unpacked. In this episode, Chelsea unpacks it — fully and specifically — across three dimensions: safety, sourcing, and cultural respect. Speaking from her own inherited connection to henna through the Akan tradition of West Africa, Chelsea makes the case that practicing this art professionally carries a responsibility that goes beyond technique and into how you hold the practice itself. This episode doesn't moralize. It teaches.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN·  Why ethical henna practice has three dimensions — and why most conversations only cover one·  What PPD is, why it's dangerous, and how to identify it in products that don't advertise it·  How to evaluate a henna supplier and what transparency from a trustworthy supplier looks like·  What cultural respect requires of every practitioner regardless of their relationship to henna's cultures of origin·  How client education is an act of integrity, not just good customer service·  Why the ethics conversation and the business conversation are the same conversationRESOURCES & LINKSMentioned in this episode:· ⁠Join Momentum — Hennapreneur's membership for henna artists⁠· ⁠Hennapreneur website⁠· ⁠Download the Hennapreneur app⁠Connect with Chelsea:· ⁠Instagram — @hennapreneur.official⁠· ⁠Facebook — HennapreneurIf this episode started something for you, share it with another henna artist who needs to hear it.

What becomes possible when we understand social and political harm not only as injustice, but as expressions of collective trauma? In this conversation, Kazu Haga—activist, trainer, and author of Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging Through Collapse—joins host Serena Bian to explore why healing is so essential to radically reimagining the worlds we wish to build in the midst of collapse. This conversation explores the possibility that the work of social transformation cannot be separated from the work of inner transformation. Rather than reinforcing the familiar patterns of opposition of “us and them,” “right and wrong," Kazu invites us to consider pathways of change that are rooted in relationship, spiritual practice, and the long arc of healing. Drawing from decades of work in nonviolence, restorative justice, and Buddhist practice, Kazu reflects on the limitations of movement strategies that mirror the very dynamics they seek to transform. What might it mean to respond to harm in ways that do not escalate division, but instead create the conditions for healing, within ourselves, our communities, and the larger body politic? *** The New School is Commonweal's learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world.

He brought along a film crew, and the result is the new PBS documentary Food Roots.We met up with Dec at Sunda Tampa, the Southeast Asian restaurant he owns in Tampa's Midtown district. In this conversation, he discusses what his journey taught him about himself, his struggle to fit in as a “Waisian” kid growing up in Chicago and the rising popularity of Filipino cuisine.

Rising hip hop influencer Cameron McCloud lets us in on his journey and his processPART ONE: Paul and Scott chat about a song that's getting a lot of hate online and consider how the internet has redefined how we hear music. PART TWO:  Our in-depth conversation with Cameron McCloudABOUT CAMERON McCLOUD Cure for Paranoia is the Dallas-based alternative hip hop collective fronted by Cameron McCloud. Crowned "Rap Group of the Year" by the Dallas Entertainment Awards in 2025 and "Artist of the Year" in 2026, the group's name came about following McCloud's diagnosis with bipolar depression and paranoid schizophrenia. Their breakthrough came when Erykah Badu's tapped them to perform at her birthday bash, and they have since shared bills with such artists as George Clinton, Nas, Ludacris, and Leon Bridges. The group was named NPR Tiny Desk Contest finalists three times in 2023, 2024, and 2025 before winning the contest in 2026. In addition to the success of their most recent EP, Work of Art, they've gained attention online thanks to Cameron's 2025 challenge to release an original verse every day on his social media channels. Tackling everything from mental health to social injustice, his rhymes earned a substantial following. Inspired by groups such as Outkast, The Roots, and a Tribe Called Quest, Cameron McCloud and Cure for Paranoia are rapidly gaining a major national audience.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nonprofits are often told to scale their impact, but what happens when growth risks pulling organizations away from the communities they serve?In this episode, I sit down with Angelique Albert, CEO of Native Forward Scholars Fund, to discuss what it means to grow with intention, stay rooted in community, and lead through trust. Raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation and now leading the largest provider of direct scholarships to Native students in the United States, Angelique brings a powerful perspective on leadership, equity, and philanthropy. Native Forward has awarded more than $350 million in scholarships to over 22,000 students across 500 Tribes,  helping Native students pursue higher education while preserving culture, identity, and belonging.We explore how Angelique's upbringing shaped her leadership philosophy, why scholarships alone aren't enough to ensure student success, and what nonprofits truly need from funders to create lasting change. The conversation also dives into the impact of receiving a transformational $50 million unrestricted gift from MacKenzie Scott, and what trust-based philanthropy can unlock when organizations are given the flexibility to meet community needs.Angelique shares candid lessons on scaling impact without losing your roots, navigating a significant increase in demand, and ensuring that growth remains grounded in mission, culture, and community. This episode is a must-listen for nonprofit leaders, funders, and anyone interested in building organizations that lead with trust, equity, and long-term impact.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode dives into the hidden emotional patterns so many high achievers are carrying… and why success still doesn't feel like enough.Yup, this episode is for all of us who have crushed those work goals, hit a promotion, but yet,  weirdly still feels empty on the other side of it. Brooke Taylor…a career coach, former Google leader, and author of Healing the Success Wound  unpacks why so many of us (especially high-achieving women) tie our self-worth to our output and end up burned out, anxious, and chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Brooke breaks down what a "success wound" actually is, the three roots of where it comes from (hint, hint...it's cultural, psychological, and emotional), and why your childhood gold stars might still be running your nervous system today. She also gets real about her own rock-bottom moment: sexual harassment at Google, her dad's terminal cancer diagnosis, and getting sober at 24, all in the same month. But from that. Brooke shares the first thing that truly began healing her own success wounds and why redefining success may be the key to finally feeling fulfilled. If you've ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish it's still not enough… this episode is going to hit home. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS A success wound = when you only feel valuable when you're achieving. Brooke calls it the "empty cup." Every win you pour in (the promotion, the money, the applause) drains right back out because the cup itself is cracked.  There are 3 roots of the success wound: Cultural ( we were trained to measure our worth by what we produce), Psychological (childhood taught us that love and approval are earned by performing), Emotional (we lost touch with who we are underneath what we do) Awareness is where the healing starts. The moment you can name the wound, you take your power back. You're not broken — you're conditioned, and conditioning can be rewired.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Brooke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookevtaylor/ Follow Brooke on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brooketaylorcareercoach?lang=en Website: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/ Where To Get Healing the Success Wound: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/successwound/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast that battles depression and heartache with the healing power of song. I'm your host, James Cox, and today we're honored to sit down with a true powerhouse of soul, strength, and the blues—Miss Freddie, the Pittsburgh‑born “Lady of the Blues.”From singing in church choirs as a child to surviving cancer twice, Miss Freddye's journey is a testament to resilience. By day she's a full‑time nurse and devoted mom, and by night she commands two dynamic ensembles: Roots of the Soul—her evolving blues‑rock‑R&B outfit—and Miss Freddye's Home Cooking Band, a genre‑bending crew that serves up everything from gospel to jazz, country, and classic rock.In this conversation we'll explore:The roots of the blues—Clarksdale vs. Memphis and the lore of Robert Johnson.What the title “Pittsburgh Lady of the Blues” means to her personally.How music helped her navigate two cancer battles and chronic stage fright.Her ever‑growing musical palate—from classical piano to heavy metal, jazz, and beyond.The behind‑the‑scenes struggles of a performer who still gets nervous at 15.A dream she's still chasing: mastering the bass guitar.And a handful of fun lightning‑round revelations—her favorite live song (“Slipping Away”), the biggest crowd she's ever played (Picklesburg), and a surprising future plan to open a barber shop.Stay tuned as we dive deep into Miss Freddye's story, her empowering anthem “Lady of the Blues,” and the heart‑fueled music that keeps her moving forward. Whether you're a blues devotee, a fellow survivor, or simply someone looking for a lift, this episode is a reminder that when words fall short, the music always speaks.Website:https://missfreddye.com
