Two dads, one live mic, and a dozen small moments that reveal what it means to raise kids while trying to keep yourself together. DJ Greg and his co-host pace through memories, worries, and laughs — from the nerves of an 18-year-old finding his way to the gentle routines of toddlers learning manners. They peel back the scenes of co‑parenting, job exits made for sanity, and the pride that comes from watching a child develop a fierce work ethic. Scarred but steady, they trade stories about choices, faith, and the awkward beauty of growing up — for their kids and themselves. Join the conversation, stand with them in a quick prayer for family reunions, and be part of a new series called The Dads — a short, honest hour about connection, courage, and the small acts that change lives.
It's here. The one game of the season I dread, home to Man United. Scarred by far too many defeats against this opposition I struggle to look forward to these games. But, join Holly, Stef and Chris as we chat through where we think the game can be won and lost. How will Carrick set them up? Who starts up front for us? What about left back, Lewis-Skelly, or Timber? We also react to the financial data put out by Deloitte regarding revenues, as Arsenal are moving up that table as well. There is the return of a quiz (name the 6 players to play for both clubs in the Premier League era) and a quick look back at the midweek fixtures.Please follow & rate where you get your pods.For exclusive access & content, join our North Bank community:FREE on Patreon!

THE AMATEUR SPIES AND THE 1934 DINNER Colleague Charles Spicer. In December 1934, Ernest Tennant, a British banker deeply scarred by the loss of friends and family in the First World War, attended a pivotal dinner in Berlin with Adolf Hitler and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Tennant, along with fellow protagonist Philip Conwell-Evans, sought to prevent another continental war by fostering closer ties between British and German society through organizations like the Anglo-German Fellowship. Ribbentrop, an Anglophile who had lived in London, used these social connections to move decision-makers closer to the Nazi leadership, exploiting the fact that the British government initially viewed Hitler with disdain and had not engaged him diplomatically. The narrative introduces the Travelers Clubin London as a hub for these internationalists and intelligence figures, setting the stage for a story of amateur espionage aimed at civilizing a regime that would eventually launch a predatory war. NUMBER 1 1945 NUREMBERG PROSECUTION

A rainy Christmas in Southern California. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports. (watch for dating)
AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on a powerful holiday storm lashing Southern California.
This week on Comics and Chronic we discuss Dark Horse's Helen of Wyndhorn by Tom King & art by Bilquis Evely & colors by Matheus Lopes. “Following the tragic death of her late father C.K. Cole, the esteemed pulp writer and creator of the popular warrior character Othan, Helen Cole is called back to her Grandfather's enormous and Illustrious estate, Wyndhorn House. Scarred by Cole's untimely passing and lost in a new, strange world, Helen wreaks drunken havoc upon her arrival. However, her chaotic ways begin to soften as she discovers a lifetime of secrets hiding within the myriad rooms and hallways of the expansive manor. For outside its walls, within the woods, dwell the legendary adventures that once were locked away within her father's stories.” But first, Cody gets into his onesie to prepare for the cold. Jake wants to see people struggle. Are we planning to cover Batman No Man's Land for Bat-March 2026. Little Women is a great comfort movie. Was the new Wicked a major step down? Cody confuses his Asian actresses; Jake doesn't fair much better. Does the story being told from a character's POV who wasn't involved in the adventures take away from it? How does this compare to Supergirl: Woman of Tomrorow? Who would we cast in a live-action version of this comic? Does this book show how fairy tales come to be passed on from word of mouth? Also RIP to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Are Comics and Chronic going to start their own Black Label episodes? Do we want to see a sequel to this book? Is the art a perfect 6 but the story lacks?

NXIVM is back in the headlines after Allison Mack's new podcast — but for survivors like Sarah Edmondson, the story never ended.She was one of the faces of The Vow on HBO — the woman who blew the whistle on NXIVM's “self-help” empire that turned into a full-blown notorious cult.This episode is about what happened after the escape: healing from coercive control, rebuilding trust, and learning to believe your own voice again.Sarah opens up about the psychological hangover of leaving NXIVM — how fear, shame, and identity unravel once the system is gone.We unpack what freedom looks like after indoctrination, how cultish behavior shows up in everyday systems, and the slow process of learning safety again.It's a conversation about resilience, humor, and the long road back to self-trust.If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, here you go! https://podcast.allisonhare.com/post/274What You Will Learn:How Sarah Edmondson escaped the NXIVM cult and what freedom really looked likeThe psychology of coercive control and how to spot it earlyWhy rebuilding trust is the hardest part after leaving a cultHow cult dynamics show up in modern coaching and wellness spacesHow to protect your agency without losing your sense of belongingResources MentionedPodcast: A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson & Nippy AmesPre-Order new book: A Little Bit CultyThe Vow (HBO docuseries)Scarred by Sarah Edmondson (book)Sarah Edmondson's website – sarahedmondson.comNotable Quotables (from Sarah Edmondson)“I see a woman who's trying to right a wrong.” (02:20)“When you're in a cult, you don't think you're in a cult.” (13:34)“Black-and-white thinking is culty thinking.” (11:58)“Freedom isn't a moment.

Forgive the tardiness on the release, but we're here to talk halfway point of the Europa & Conference League league phases! The Europa League gave us quests for perfection and imperfection alike. The French, Scots, and Dutch had nightmare days, losing all over the continent and missing out on precious points. We spend more time on Nice's unbelievable winless run in the tournament — with plenty of stats to back it up — then delve into Scotland's persistent struggles in European competition. What's gone wrong for Scottish football? Is there any room for optimism? Meanwhile, Germany and Spain go 3 for 3, and Midtjylland (!) won their 4th consecutive UEL game to remain tip top of the table. We share out appreciate for the Danes, their exceptional roster of players, and their young coach who may or may not get a cheers at the end of the show. Not to be outdone, the Conference League delivered 2 stoppage time winners from Rayo Vallecano and Mainz (over the hapless Fiorentina) and 2 more stoppage time equalizers. We talk through the importance of those results and marvel at the madness of Lincoln Red Imps, Drita, and KuPS all sitting in knockout place at the league phase midpoint. All that, some table takeaways, and David's Coefficient Corner on this week's show! Cheers to Mike Tullberg!
If you think you'd never fall for a cult, think again.The NXIVM cult didn't lure the weak — it attracted smart, curious, ambitious people looking for growth and belonging. People just like us.And right in the middle of it was Sarah Edmondson, a high-ranking member who helped blow it wide open in The New York Times and HBO's The Vow.In this conversation, we unpack how something that looked like empowerment turned into manipulation — and how the need to belong can become a weapon.Sarah shares what actually happened inside NXIVM, how coercive control disguised itself as “self-improvement,” and the exact moment she realized she was part of something dark.We talk about the psychology that keeps smart people compliant, the power structures that mirrored everyday life, and what breaking free really cost her.It's part cult exposé, part human study — and all about reclaiming your voice when someone else has tried to own it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow the NXIVM cult disguised coercive control as personal growthThe psychology of belonging and why smart people get trappedThe moment Sarah Edmondson decided to blow it all openHow language and hierarchy keep people obedient without forceWhat the NXIVM story teaches us about modern cults and powerResources MentionedPodcast: A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson & Nippy AmesPre-Order new book: A Little Bit CultyThe Vow (HBO docuseries)Scarred by Sarah Edmondson (book)Sarah Edmondson's website – sarahedmondson.com Quotes (from Sarah Edmondson)“Cults don't prey on weakness — they prey on hope.” 09:2409:2409:24“I didn't wake up and think, ‘Oh God, I'm in a cult.'

The Wounded Healer: a broken world needs a scarred Saviour
Send us a textCross over children. All are welcome. We're going back a bit to feature the first ever episode determined by a viewer's poll, the 1982 scare fest Poltergeist. Creepy clowns, little kids with horrible bangs, and a tree that eats little boys. Spielberg made ET the same time he was shooting this so we suppose there was some repressed anger issues so he took it out on this audience. Scarred. For. Life.
When people think about history, especially armed conflicts, many picture dusty textbooks, old maps and long-forgotten generals. But here in Pennsylvania, history isn't just words on a page—it's written into the very ground beneath our feet.From the rolling hills of Gettysburg, where the fate of a nation turned in just three days, to the banks of the Brandywine, where the Revolutionary War nearly lost its footing, to the quiet frontier where settlers clashed in the Whiskey Rebellion—Pennsylvania has been a crossroads for some of the most important struggles in American history.In fact, you can't tell the history of America without looking at the battles that scarred Pennsylvania's landscape. When hatchets, arrows, bullets, swords and cannons left thousands of dead bodies on what was once was peaceful forests and fields.It's also true that you can't tell the stories of Pennsylvania's parks, forests and public lands without looking at the battles that shaped our history. Places like Point State Park, Washington Crossing State Park and Fort Necessity National Battlefield are just a couple of the public lands that we can enjoy and appreciate today.Not to mention places like Colonel Denning State Park, Francis Slocum State Park and Ricketts Glen State Park which are named after influential service members and survivors of battles. The very parks we visit, trails we hike and sites we explore have meaning. And it's important that we know about these hallowed grounds. Now I understand that history is not for everyone. But I think it's all in how you learn about it. History isn't just about battle lines, troop movements and bloody war stories. It's so much more than that.It's about ordinary people—farmers, shopkeepers, immigrants, and families—whose lives were upended by battles happening in their backyards. It's about how communities responded to chaos, how a landscape carried on the memory of those lost and how the echoes of cannon fire shaped the Pennsylvania we live in today. So even if you don't think you're a “history person,” stick around. Because the battles that happened here aren't just about the past—they're about understanding the public lands we have right now.On this episode, I speak with Brady Crytzer. Brady teaches history at Robert Morris University and is the author of several books about Pennsylvania history.

Silenced for decades, he turned to destructive coping mechanisms until finally confronting his offender. In his memoir Scarred, Fredericks shares a powerful story of survival, justice, and transformation. Today, he is a victims' advocate and leading voice for child SA law reform, inspiring others on the journey from damaged to healing.

Ventriloquist dummies, stunning cinematography, a surprise Uncle Ben connection and ultimately why this episode is her Scarred for Life pick.You can visit Alma's website to keep up with her latest writing as well as her Substack.

Much is changing for those that have sacrificed everything with Devourer, Annihilator, Scarred, and more.

It will be their first time seeing each other in 20+ years. The last time they saw each other was when they broke up after college. Now, so much has changed. He's gotten out of prison for killing his childhood abuser. She's started her own business and moved on with her life. Maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe they have nothing in common anymore. Maybe it's a college fling and they should leave it alone. After all, they never even said a word to each other for 25 years. But when they see each other for the first time in that coffee shop. They're back to college again. She looks down and notices a briefcase. “Do you bring a briefcase to all your dates?” He chuckles because inside that suitcase is proof. Proof that for the past 20 years he has never stopped thinking about her.

What happened that day in that little house in the woods is not a debate. The evidence is all there. The blood, the wounds, the dead man lying on the floor of the living room. That night while the homeowner was watching TV - Clark Fredericks walked in, slashed at him with a hunting knife, stabbing him all over his chest, before finally slitting his throat. It's a bloody killing. There's blood splattered and smeared all over the room. Detectives have so many questions for the killer - Like why did he kill him? Why did he go and spit on his bed before leaving? Did he think that he was going to get away with this? What was the reason? And does he regret it? Today, we're getting answers to those questions. This is our interview with Clark Fredericks.

True value doesn't come from how others see us; it comes from knowing who we are. Sometimes the most important lessons are taught in unexpected places, by unforeseen people and in unpredicted ways. A recent experience provided such a reminder…even if it wasn't a lesson I wanted to receive. Let me explain.
