What happens when your entire life changes overnight?Former Arkansas State Senator Jeremy Hutchinson appeared to have it all—a successful legal career, a respected position in public office, and a future in politics. Then a federal investigation changed everything.In this powerful episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, host Brent Cassity sits down with Jeremy to discuss the personal journey behind the headlines. Jeremy opens up about growing up in one of Arkansas' most prominent political families, serving in the Arkansas Legislature, facing federal prosecution, making the difficult decision to plead guilty, serving time in federal prison, and eventually receiving a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump.But this conversation isn't about reliving the past.It's about what happens after it.Jeremy shares the emotional toll prison took on his family, the unexpected brotherhood he discovered behind bars, the lessons he learned about identity and purpose, and why he now dedicates his life to criminal justice reform as Director of Strategic Initiatives for Unify.US.This episode is an honest conversation about accountability, resilience, redemption, and discovering that your worst chapter doesn't have to define the rest of your story.If you've ever faced failure, loss, public judgment, or wondered whether people truly deserve a second chance, this episode is for you.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

The search for Saffron leads the Party ever closer to the river, but not every obstacle comes armed with claws and malice.A mischievous troop of colorful Coral Capuchins takes a keen interest in the adventurers' belongings, forcing the heroes to decide whether these curious "frog-monkeys-bats" are best handled with steel, spells, or self-control.Sometimes the smallest encounters reveal the most about the characters.Special Thanks:Cover Art - Chalynos_garage (Instagram) created the OriginalTheme Music - "Together We Rise" by Wind Rose (used with permission)Sound Effects and additional music courtesy of Table Top Audio, Ovani Sound and Monument StudiosDice for the cast of Wayfinder Legends provided by Esty Way Gaming.Wayfinder Legends is a Red Dirt RPG, LLC production.JOIN THE PARTY!

How does a respected university professor lose everything?Dr. Julie Howell spent decades building a successful career in higher education, earning the respect of colleagues and mentoring future educators. From the outside, she appeared to have it all.But behind the success was a lifetime of hidden trauma, overwhelming personal challenges, and a gambling addiction that quietly became an escape from reality.Eventually, those choices led to a federal conviction, a year in federal prison, and the loss of the career she had spent decades building.In this deeply honest conversation, Dr. Howell shares the story behind the headlines—including childhood trauma, raising a daughter through addiction and sex trafficking, facing the consequences of her own actions, and learning how accountability became the first step toward rebuilding her life.This isn't a conversation about excuses.It's a conversation about addiction, responsibility, forgiveness, and the possibility of redemption after public failure.If you've ever wondered how successful people can quietly struggle—or whether it's possible to rebuild after losing everything—this episode is for you.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

They know the headlines, the documentaries, the controversy, and the legal battle that ultimately led to Damien's release in 2011.But this isn't just a story about a murder case. It's a story about survival. About finding purpose inside a six-by-nine-foot cell.About holding onto hope when the world has already written your ending.

Your next meal or beverage might be a chance to help protect your eyesight. We walk through the exact spices Dr. Mark R. Grossman uses almost every day and why they matter for natural eye care, especially if you're concerned about macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, or stubborn dry eye from nonstop screen time. This is a practical, kitchen-first conversation from Dr. Grossman, the integrative medical optometrist and licensed acupuncturist with decades of clinical experience. We start with turmeric and its active compound, curcumin, a potent natural anti-inflammatory. Curcumin helps reduce inflammation associated with dry eye syndrome. It supports eye cells under oxidative stress. You'll hear simple prep tips you can use tonight. Find out why it's smart to prepare turmeric with ground black pepper and a healthy fat like olive oil.Then we get into saffron, the “expensive” spice that may be worth it for vision support. We discuss research linking saffron supplementation to improved retinal function in early macular degeneration, including enhanced contrast sensitivity and visual acuity. Learn easy ways to use tiny strands of saffron in warm water, tea, rice, baked goods, and broth. We also cover paprika, which contains lutein and zeaxanthin. These special antioxidants are often described as internal sunglasses that help filter blue light and support the macula.Learn how cinnamon protects the eye vessels by helping to balance blood sugar. Finally, we mention two bonus spices: ginger for inflammation and circulation, cayenne for vitamin A and tear support, and garlic, including fermented black aged garlic. Subscribe for more natural eye health strategies, share this with a friend who lives on screens, and leave us a review if these tips help you build a simple daily routine.

Beyond thrilled to be introducing our next guest, Echo Juliet and this killer mix she cooked up- using her first love of percussion as the defining element of her sound. The DJ and producer swapped her classical music degree for Ableton and decks. A friendly, yet formidable force, her DJ sets journey through deep house, percussion-filled global electronic, and warm sounds which have seen her open for Bradley Zero, Tom VR, Nightmares on Wax, The Orb, Jeremy Sylvester and more. Receiving comparisons to Four Tet and Bonobo, her colourful productions dwell on the fringes of club music, leaning towards the leftfield. From high energy excitement to dreamy textures, she draws influence from broken-beat, deep house and classical percussion. Recently named one of DJ Mag's emerging artists to watch, her releases have also been featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic list, played in legendary clubs such as Fabric, and supported by DJs including Axel Boman, Seb Wildblood, and BBC 6Music tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Nemone and Tom Ravenscroft. She has also featured on a compilation alongside electronic icons 808 State, and been remixed by Gold Panda. Radio credits have seen her guest hosting on NTS and mixes for Rinse FM and The Face Radio in New York, as well as hosting a radio series for promoter Soundcrash. Meanwhile, DJing has taken her from noted South-London party Rhythm Section and residencies for The Standard and Variations, to SXSW in Austin, We Out Here festival's second stage and playing to over 3,000 people at Dreamland Margate. Committed to creating a more inclusive music scene, she founded Future Proof for Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section label, has taught music production to women and non-binary folks for Saffron and is a director of DJ community Selextorhood.

In this Her Stack series episode, I open up about maternal mental health, postpartum anxiety, and the invisible biological load mothers carry long after the six-week checkup is over. This episode is not just for the newly postpartum mother. It is for the mother whose kids are four, eight, fifteen, and still asking herself why she does not feel like herself. I share why motherhood structurally changes the brain, hormones, and nervous system, and why so many mothers are left feeling anxious, foggy, depleted, or unlike themselves without ever being properly screened or supported. I walk you through the science of the postpartum neurosteroid withdrawal, the gray matter changes that persist for years, and the five-system map underneath maternal brain fog. Then I break down the full four-pillar protocol I use with my one-to-one clients: foundational nutrition, lifestyle and biohacking tools, the supplement layer including some of the most under-discussed compounds for the maternal brain, and the advanced peptide layer including Semax, Selank, NAD+, and bioregulators.

Manami is firing on all cylinders. If you've spent any time on a UK dancefloor over the last decade, you've likely crossed paths with her. Born in Japan and raised on Bristol's foundational dub, house and bass scenes, she's built a fierce reputation for holding down a room with unmatched energy and a distinct sense of community. From early days raving at Livity Sound, Futureboogie, Timedance and Deep Medi to co-founding Bristol's Better Days parties, her musical DNA has always balanced the deep and the progressive. Now, she's channelling that background into a distinct sonic realignment. Her latest productions and fresh live set lean heavily into sub-heavy 140, breakbeat, jungle and footwork, all tied together with those familiar progressive sensibilities. Beyond the booth, Manami is mentoring FLINTA talent with Saffron and connecting East and South East Asian creatives through the East & Most initiative. With appearances spanning from Berlin's Atonal to unforgettable sets at UNFOLD, DGTL, Junction 2 and Boiler Room, she remains one of the UK's most reliable, anything-goes selectors. We locked her in for a mix. Check it out now.

Whoa there… steady on now! You seem like you're just about ready to take on this episode of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X podcast! There's a lot in this episode, folks! But when isn't there, am I right? The team recorded the Pubcast – you know, that charity podcast from a pub they do – so they felt a little ‘crispy' (Dom's favourite word for hungover) afterwards on Wednesday's show. We also get excited about all that soccer in the summer, so our producer Polly has been working on a sweepstake for the team, and I'll say it now in case you don't clock on it, she's not the biggest football fan in the world!We also have a host of wonderful guests to entertain those little ears of yours…Am I bovvered? Do I look bovvered? You bet I am bovvered, as the team caught up with comedy royalty, Catherine Tate. She's in a show on the West End called Oh, Mary! She also has her legendary character Nan, and as Captain and Catherine haven't met before, did Nan and him meet? (If you know, you know!)Chris met one of his pop music heroes, a massive 80's icon… it's only Nik Kershaw! Chris loves his music, and has been on the radio over thirty years and somehow has never interviewed Nik, so Chris was particularly giddy that morning, which you, undoubtably, will pick up on!Baby, she was ready to go… on The Chris Moyles Show! Saffron from Republica stopped by the Radio X studio to catch up with the team about more Republica shows, and the thirty-year anniversary of their massive hit “Ready To Go!”It felt weird having the next person as an actual guest… especially as he does the show after Chris, so they see each other every day. However, Toby Tarrant had an announcement to make, so he was our next “guest” oddly. (Funny how he didn't get his name in the title of this week's episode, right?)And you're telling me that isn't enough for you? Fine then, have some more:Dom's shop on the A1Toby Lerone returns?Pop Rap, or Pap?

May is mental health awareness month, so I've gone back and pulled the top tips and advice from neuroscientists, psychologists and biohacking experts on how to improve your happiness, anxiety, and depression through specific supplement protocols, brain health hacks, and healing your gut. Because we can't ignore the physical side to mental health, and taking care of our bodies is a key piece in taking care of our minds.  Tune in to hear about: Our mood has EVERYTHING to do with our brain health. So what do top neuroscientists recommend for psychiatric issues? Dr. Kristen Willeumier offers her EXACT protocol for improving anxiety without a medical prescription. This is game-changing advice on the power of supplements for managing anxiety and psychiatric disorders, from an award-winning neuroscientist with a PHD and Masters in neurobiology, Masters in Physiological science, and postdoctoral scientist in the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA.

Clinical psychologist, author, and founder of Heartship Psychological Services, Dr. Lauren Cook, breaks down what tests and bloodwork to get, the supplements that changed her brain, and how gut health is intrinsically linked to mental health.  If you're struggling with persistent low mood and energy, this surprising supplement recommendation from chemical engineer and biohacking pro Chloe Deutscher could be the answer. Learn why certain supplements and vitamins can help with depression, calm anxiety, and boost your serotonin.   For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Kuester from Cincinnati, Ohio, with his story “In Living Color,” and Golden Brush Award Winner Bohuslav “Bafu” Argalas from Ruzomberok, Slovakia, with his illustration of the story “Saffron and Marigolds.” Michael is an engineer by day, a science fiction writer by night. An avid hiker and cooking enthusiast, he is a passionately curious individual and lives his life by the motto “In the twenty-first century, there's no excuse for an unanswered question.” His story, “In Living Color,” evolved into a surprisingly personal allegory for social isolation, generational misunderstanding, and neurodivergence. Bafu began drawing before he learned to read or write. That passion led him to study art at the private school of Applied Arts in Zilina and later at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, Czech Republic.

On this episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, Brent Cassity sits down with Dr. Ron Elfenbein — a board-certified emergency room physician trained at Johns Hopkins who stepped up when the world shut down. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ron didn't wait. He acted. He built testing sites before most believed the virus would spread. He treated thousands of patients. He donated critical supplies across multiple states. He became a trusted voice on the frontlines when fear and uncertainty were everywhere. Then, without warning… everything changed. Federal charges. A criminal trial. His reputation, career, and freedom all on the line. But just when it looked like his nightmare was over, a federal judge issued a stunning decision — wiping away the conviction in a rare and powerful ruling 93 page opinion. And still… the fight isn't over. The DOJ won an appeal overturning the the Chief Judge's acquittal. This is a story about courage under pressure, standing up for what you believe is right, and navigating a system that can turn on you overnight. It's about resilience. It's about truth. And it's about what it really takes to survive — and keep fighting — when your nightmare isn't finished yet
