Let's talk about sex… Today, we're speaking to Ita O'Brien - the intimacy coordinator behind the intimate scenes in Normal People, I May Destroy You, Bridgerton, It's a Sin, Sex Education and more…After training as an actor, dancer and movement coach - Ita created the ‘Intimacy On Set Guidelines' - which protects actors and performers during scenes that involve nudity or sex. Her work pre-dates the Me Too movement but was bought to public attention in the wake of the Weinstein scandal. Ita explained why her work is so vital, why having an intimacy coordinator benefits everyone on set, and how creating realistic sex has a positive impact far beyond the actors on set...Ita's book Intimacy guides us through how she helps actors create authentic sex scenes, and how we can use those techniques to rebuild a deeper and healthier connection with our bodies, create a safe space for exploration, and rethink how we navigate sex and intimacy in our own lives and in society as a whole. The book contains behind-the-scenes insights, practical exercises and guidance to help us communicate boundaries and navigate everyday relationships.

In a post capitalist society with equal opportunity and no need to work for all citizens, where does inherent human nature drive people? Do they rise to greater heights or become lazy and goalless?

It's our 2025 Fully Booked recap—part “podcast Wrapped,” part honest creative debrief. We break down our top 5 most-listened episodes (and why the internet clearly loves a timely adaptation take), share our personal favorites (from book hangovers and games to big-topic conversations like banning books), and unpack the months that felt too rigid, too narrow, or just creatively exhausting.We also talk about how the book-to-screen world keeps accelerating—trailers, releases, streaming drops, and adaptations arriving so fast that staying locked into strict monthly themes can mean missing the exact conversations everyone's already having. So we're making a change: 2026 will be looser, more flexible, and more “let's talk about what's happening right now.”If you've been listening all year (thank you!), this episode is both a celebration and a reset—plus a little peek at what we're excited to cover next.

Three out of four teens are battling depression and anxiety, and one in three preteen girls has seriously considered suicide. The phones in their hands aren't just distracting them; they're rewiring their brains, stealing their sleep, and erasing their sense of purpose. In this episode, I sit down with Abdullah, Zain, Emaad, and Qasim Ansari from the Holistic Kids Show to talk about the shocking truth behind screen addiction. These teen health advocates wrote The Teen Health Revolution after watching their own peers struggle with mental health crises, chronic disease, and complete disconnection from real life. We talk about why 96% of Gen Z can't go to the bathroom without their phones, how blue light before bed leads to poor health outcomes, and the spiritual emptiness that comes from never being "bored enough" to think your own thoughts. The brothers share the exact screen time limits that work for their family, why an authoritarian approach fails with teens, and how to replace scrolling with purpose. "We're more connected than ever before, but yet so many people feel disconnected. That's because of these phones and especially social media." ~ Abdullah Ansari In This Episode: - How the "Holistic Kids" started their health journey - Screen time and mental health - How screen time promotes dementia - Teens experiencing a spiritual health crisis - The addictive nature of phones - Socialization and phone-free schools - Practical tips for teens to reduce screen time - Navigating social media and self-image - The REVOLUTION acronym for total teen health Products & Resources Mentioned: The Teen Health Revolution Book: Available at https://theteenhealthrevolution.com/ Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Use the code 25% off holiday sale to save at https://boncharge.com Tru Energy Lip Peptide Treatment: Buy one, get one free for a limited time at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy3 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Get an exclusive discount at https://deals.chefsfoundry.com/black-friday-b?utm_term=MyersDetoxXmas Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your score at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Abdullah, Zain, Emaad & Qasim Ansari: Abdullah, Zain, Emaad, and Qasim Ansari are teenage health revolutionaries shaking the wellness world as hosts of the globally top-ranked Holistic Kids Show podcast and co-authors of the traditionally published bestseller The Teen Health Revolution (Bloomsbury).

Bush era.

All this week we're looking at some of the latest data from the Pew Research Center on how parents of children ages twelve and under are managing the realities of life in a smartphone saturated world. The survey found that screen use is starting young. Ninety percent say their kids interact with the TV screen. Almost seventy percent have kids who interact with a tablet. Sixty-one percent interact with a smartphone. Half of the twelve and under cohort of kids engages in gaming. Just under forty percent use a laptop. And at this point, eight percent of five to twelve year olds are currently engaging with an AI chatbot. Paul in his letter to the Colossians says to “set your minds on the things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” CPYU Research Fellow Mike Terry writes, “With screens, it's increasingly likely that their minds are being brought lower into fragmentation, and not lifted higher into focus on the things of God.” Parents, your calling is to point them to Christ.
Nightlife critic of screens large and small, Wen Lei Ma joins Philip Clark to review the latest to watch.

It's the dead of winter, so what better time to watch the frostiest of music movies - in every sense? Set in a bitterly cold early '60s New York, the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis sees Oscar Isaac's titular folk singer getting the cold shoulder wherever he goes, whether it's from his volcanically angry ex, played by Carey Mulligan, or the strange hand of fate itself.This week, Joe from Dreaming Machine rejoins the show to decide whether this is one of the Coens' sad funny movies or one of their funny sad movies, as well as dissecting the film's real-life inspirations, the response it got from veterans of the real-life 1960s NY folk scene, and its supporting turns from Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver. Plus, we get with the modern podcast market and come up with a conspiracy theory...If you want to give us money that isn't contingent on us recording a space-race themed novelty song, you can donate to our Patreon, where we're about to launch a whole new series of podcasts and article series for 2026, as well as continuing our ongoing Doctor Who and Twilight Zone series.

The award for Best Film at the New Zealand Screen Awards went to a small Maori film company, whose historical account of the battle of Orakau took the prize in a pool of audience favourites. The movie, Ka Whawhai Tonu, set inside a fighting pa, tells the story of the last stand in the Waikato war told in te reo Maori, using multiple dialects to represent the different iwi and hapu who came to fight the Crown. Ka Whawhai Tonu producer Piripi Curtis speaks with Mihi Forbes.

One Battle After Another, the spirited and controversial Oscar contender from Paul Thomas Anderson, premiered in September. That opening weekend featured a "Behind the Screen" premiere at the storied West Newton cinema. Why "behind"? Because Marisa Pagano and J.B. Sloan of the West Newton Cinema Foundation) invited RTB to oversee a fascinating post-mortem between authors of recent books about "PTA" and about Thomas Pynchon, whose scintillating 1990 novel Vineland inspired the film. If inspired does not seem the right word, the exact relationship between the two was one of many things examined by Ethan Warren (The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson: American Apocrypha, Columbia University Press, 2023)and Pete Coviello (Vineland Reread) pored over in some detail in what follows, a very unusual live Recall This Book conversation. Pete situates the inspirational novel as a pivot point ("funniest novel you've ever read") for Thomas Pynchon, a consolidation of the counter-insurgency ("drugs, sacrament of the 60's, Evil of the 80's) state from the post-1960's into the complacency of the Reagan era. Ethan, who defends practically everything PTA movie but Hard Eight (1996; despite John's affection for it) points out the significance of non-white characters, and applauds his "alarming" decision to confront white supremacy in its clarity and also the over-the-topness of the Christmas Adventurer's Club. Pete, who wishes that the film could be as funny as the novel, emphasizes that earlier Pynchon novels were founded on conspiratorial pushback against Manichean structures. By 1990, though, he no longer rejects the solidarity that the left might bring to bear against the fascist power of the Right. God bless the unrepudiated armed insurgents, says Pete. Camaraderie and solidarity define the essence of both book and film. Although Ethan, more skeptical of the politics of the novel, reminds us that they all lose; at the end of the day, he sees the film's overt message as less appealing than its visual energy. Audience questions, topping off the event, delve into the past and the world of Pynchon's commitments, in often surprising ways. The conversation wraps by celebrating a more than cameo by Tisha Sloan, who happens to be West Newton organizer J.B.'s sister! Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys are back — and this episode goes completely off the rails. What starts as Thanksgiving talk turns into a debate about U.S. geography, maps lying, and America's lack of high-speed rail… before the crew finally gets to the Magic, the Raptors, and the Eastern Conference race.In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Michael, and Alejandro return with a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation that wanders far beyond basketball. The trio starts by joking about how hard it's been to get all four hosts together and how life schedules, grad school, and the holidays keep throwing the lineup off. A simple Thanksgiving recap quickly spirals into a comedic debate about “white people food,” Jamaican and Haitian dishes, and the lack of good island restaurants in certain cities.Travel talk transitions into a surprisingly serious discussion of U.S. geography. The guys go off about how big Florida actually is, why people misunderstand state sizes, how map projections lie, and why driving across America feels drastically different from traveling across Europe. Naturally, this sparks a passionate rant about the U.S. lacking a modern rail system, the history behind it, and how high-speed trains could completely change American travel.Eventually, the crew pulls themselves back to basketball — starting with the Orlando Magic. Jordon breaks down attending the recent Magic vs. Bulls game, covering the crowd energy, key runs, Anthony Black's contributions, and standout performances from Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane. The guys debate how the offense shifts when Paolo Banchero is in or out of the lineup, whether Orlando plays more freely without him, and what the Magic must do moving forward to become a true contender in the East.The conversation then shifts to Toronto, where the Raptors' surprisingly balanced start becomes the focus. The crew analyzes Scottie Barnes' continued rise, RJ Barrett's driving, Brandon Ingram's fit, and Jakob Poeltl's underrated importance. They discuss the team's sustainability, how the offense collapses when Poeltl sits, and whether Toronto has enough talent to keep pace in a suddenly deep Eastern Conference.From there, the guys break down the entire East — the Knicks' consistency, the Cavs' up-and-down performances, Milwaukee's potential deadline moves, and the Heat being the Heat. They also compare the development paths of the Magic and Raptors to teams like the 2022 Celtics and the Suns, emphasizing long-term growth, chemistry, and not rushing to blow things up.The episode is packed with laughs, real hoops analysis, friendly debates, and the classic Off the Screen chaos that listeners love. Whether you're here for NBA breakdowns or to hear three friends argue about Idaho, this one has everything.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – 02:00 | Intro, three-man lineup, schedule struggles02:00 – 07:00 | Thanksgiving talk, Jamaican/Haitian food, traveling07:00 – 12:00 | Geography rabbit hole: Florida size, maps lying, state rankings12:00 – 14:30 | U.S. infrastructure & high-speed rail rant14:30 – 17:00 | Finally… basketball.

This week, we're diving into the wild ride that was this month — a full-on Mercury Retrograde comedy show filled with spiritual exams, boundary initiations, energy leaks, emotional mastery, broken sunglasses, purple toenails, chaotic Ubers, alcohol lessons, and some of the most profound expansions I've had all year.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly what I got tested on, what blew up in my face, how I passed (and wobbled through) these lessons, and how YOU can integrate these teachings without having to experience the full tornado.

Air Date 11/25/2025 We live in a world awash with baseless conspiracy theories but that doesn't mean there are no true conspiracies, as exemplified by Jeffrey Epstein. But it bears repeating, that we didn't need the exposure of a massive conspiracy to know that Donald Trump was a sexual predator because he said as much on tape before he was elected the first time in 2016.

At 19, Ben Francis was lifting weights during the day and delivering pizza at night. He didn't have money. He didn't have fashion experience. He didn't even know how to sew. What he did have was a front-row seat… to a new online trend. Before Instagram and influencers became a strategy, a handful of YouTubers were redefining gym culture — building identity and community online. With his gymwear brand Gymshark, Ben didn't try to compete with Nike. He didn't try to buy ads. He did something much more powerful: He built relationships. He sent free T-shirts to the Youtubers he admired. He learned what gym-goers actually wanted to wear: tapered tracksuits, and shirts that emphasized their muscles.Today, Gymshark is valued at more than a billion dollars, and Ben is the youngest billionaire in the UK. But his story is not just about business. It's about identity, discipline, humility—and learning to grow as fast as you can learn.
