Today we're taking a fresh, much-needed look at screen time—one that moves beyond fear, shame, and power struggles and into something far more nuanced and humane. My guest is Ash Brandin, also known as TheGamerEducator, and the author of the new book, Power On: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family. In this episode, Ash and I talk about screen time through the lenses of social equity and moral neutrality, and why empowering kids with skills, not control, is key to navigating technology well. We also explore practical strategies for managing screen use, how engaging with kids around their interests can change everything, and what a truly collaborative approach to technology can look like inside families. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone feeling stuck or conflicted about screens and modern parenting.

Abby and Patrick welcome film critic A.S. Hamrah. Hamrah is a prolific writer of reviews, essays, and dispatches, and the two brand-new collections of his most recent work, Algorithm of the Night and Last Week in End Times Cinema, furnish Abby, Patrick, and Scott with the perfect opportunity to talk cinema, nostalgia, the political economy of movies, and much more. From moviegoing as an embodied experience to the nature of theaters as built environment, the three explore the overdetermined significance of going to sit in a dark room alongside strangers, simultaneously alone yet connected to one another. Unpacking the status of cinema as a quintessentially modern medium, they consider how developments like the smartphone, social media, Netflix, and the COVID-19 epidemic have reshaped both the film industry and our practices of media consumption. They also go deep into the relationship between cinema and television, addressing genre distinctions between soaps and prestige TV; the origins of reality TV in COPS, writers strikes and neoliberal austerity; and the direct line between reality TV and the Trumpian present. Along the way, Abby, Patrick, and Scott take up topics including: the social role of film criticism as a genre to popular discourses about fandom and “letting people enjoy things”; the loneliness of critics and the anomie of watching “second screen content”; and shifting norms of audience behavior (read: being rude). And it all builds to a debate over whether or not going to a movie versus binge-watching Netflix may express different fantasies, desires and anxieties about intimacy, control, and death. Silence your phones, get some popcorn, and enjoy! Texts cited:A.S. Hamrah, Last Week in End Times Cinema: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9781635902686/last-week-in-end-times-cinema/A.S.

Screens dominate modern life, quietly shaping habits, desires, and spiritual health in ways many people fail to recognize. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine how smartphones and social media have become powerful tools that amplify the heart's desires, often drifting from usefulness into addiction. While technology itself is morally neutral, the guys explain that human sinfulness and spiritual opposition twist good gifts into sources of distraction, dependency, and misplaced worship. Phones promise connection and reassurance, yet they often function as a substitute for stillness, prayer, and dependence on the Lord.The conversation turns to how social media platforms are intentionally designed to be addictive. Drawing parallels to slot machines, the guys discuss dopamine-driven engagement and the reality that free apps profit by turning users into products. This constant stimulation rewires attention and interferes with spiritual disciplines like reading Scripture and being present with God. They challenge believers to consider how often they check their phones compared to how often they examine their souls, warning that unchecked use reshapes how sin is perceived, normalized, and even celebrated.The guys then move into the personal and relational costs of excessive phone use. Social media provides comfort through distance, yet it fuels jealousy, gossip, and slander while deepening loneliness. Digital life replaces fundamental interactions with curated images, depriving people of everyday relational friction that builds maturity and resilience. They note growing social anxiety, loss of creativity, and diminished attention spans as consequences of constant engagement. Yet the discussion also highlights practical steps toward freedom, such as reading physical Bibles, setting boundaries, turning off notifications, limiting app access, and intentionally reclaiming attention from devices designed to control it.Finally, the guys address parenting and responsibility in a digital age. They urge courage, honesty, and accountability when it comes to children and screens, emphasizing that guidance and restriction are acts of love, not burdens. Parents are encouraged to replace screen time with creativity, outdoor play, genuine relationships, and hands-on experiences. The episode closes with a call to fight rather than surrender, to confess unhealthy habits, and to invite family accountability. True freedom comes not from rejecting technology entirely, but from examining the heart, setting wise boundaries, and choosing to let Christ shape attention, affection, and daily life.Send us a textThanks for listening!

A child can appear calm on a screen and unravel seconds after it turns off. That reaction isn't bad behavior or poor discipline — it's a nervous system crash driven by dopamine, overstimulation, and an abrupt loss of regulation. In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, Dana Kay sits down with Sondra Bakinde and Mariana Gordon, co-founders of Mindful Mantis, to unpack what's really happening in a child's brain and body during screen time. They explain why screens activate the sympathetic nervous system, how dopamine crashes trigger fight-flight-freeze responses, and why kids with ADHD feel these shifts even more intensely. You'll learn how to spot early signs of dysregulation before meltdowns erupt, why restriction alone often backfires, and how simple transitions can support a child's nervous system instead of overwhelming it. Sondra and Mariana share practical, realistic tools — including bridging the dopamine gap, predictable transitions, connection before direction, and their Pause & Play Method — all designed for real families, not perfect ones. If screen time feels like a daily struggle in your home, this episode will help you reframe what's happening and respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence.

In today's episode, host Mandee Hamann sits down with Dr. Steven Klein (Caron Treatment Center), a physician-scientist specializing in addiction medicine and brain health, for a vital conversation every parent needs to hear.In a world of constant digital stimulation, many kids' brains are under relentless pressure—often without parents realizing what's really happening beneath the surface. Dr. Klein explains how chronic overstimulation affects the developing brain, why behavioral addictions like screens and gaming mirror substance addiction neurologically, and why “moderation” is often far more difficult than it sounds.Together, Mandee and Dr. Klein explore:What true brain health looks like from a medical perspectiveHow dopamine and reward pathways are impacted by constant stimulationWhy children and teens are especially vulnerable to addictionThe warning signs families shouldn't ignore—sleep disruption, emotional dysregulation, rising anxiety, and loss of interest in real lifeWhy this is not a failure of willpower or parenting—but a brain-based issueMost importantly, this episode offers hope. Dr. Klein shares how the brain can heal, what actually restores healthy regulation, and simple, practical steps families can take right now to reduce stimulation and support resilience, connection, and emotional well-being.If you're concerned about your child's screen use—or simply want to protect their brain in a hyper-stimulating culture—this conversation will equip you with clarity, confidence, and encouragement. Protecting the brain may be one of the greatest gifts a parent can give.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Summary:In this episode of the Better Divorce podcast, host Paulette Rigo speaks with parenting coach and psychotherapist Todd Sarner about the complexities of parenting in today's technology-driven world. They discuss Todd's upcoming book, 'The Calm and Connected Parent,' which emphasizes the importance of attachment in parenting. The conversation explores the challenges posed by technology, the significance of secure attachment, and the dynamics of co-parenting, especially in the context of divorce.

Kids today seem sharper, quicker to snap, and harder to parent—and it's leaving many families exhausted. In this episode, we explore The Disrespect Epidemic: Why Kids Are Ruder Than Ever and What to Do with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™, who reveals how emotional dysregulation—not bad parenting—drives today's behaviors and how calming the brain restores respect. If you feel like your child's eye rolling, snapping, or sharp tone has gotten worse, you're not imagining it—and you're not failing. Many parents are quietly wondering why parenting feels harder than ever, even when they're doing all the “right” things.In this episode, we unpack why kids are ruder than ever and what to do, revealing why disrespectful behavior has skyrocketed and why it's really a sign of nervous system overload—not bad manners. You'll learn what's driving today's explosive reactions and how calming the brain first can restore connection, respect, and peace at home.Why does my child seem so rude and disrespectful lately?Many parents worry their child's disrespectful behavior means bad manners or poor values. But it's not disrespect—it's dysregulation. Children today are overstimulated, under-rested, and under constant pressure. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, skills like empathy, patience, and respectful tone go offline.What looks like rude behavior is really a stress response. Kids don't wake up wanting to talk back or roll their eyes—their brains are stuck in survival mode.Takeaways:Behavior is communication, not defianceOverloaded brains lose access to self-controlYour child isn't bad—their nervous system is strugglingExample: A 12-year-old snaps “Leave me alone!” when asked about homework. It's not attitude—it's emotional overload.Are kids today really ruder than past generations?Children today aren't worse—they're more dysregulated. Screens, constant noise, fast schedules, and emotional burnout leave little recovery time. Many young people hold it together at school, then explode at home where they feel safest.This is why disrespectful kids often save their worst behavior for parents and family members.Takeaways:Kids crash at home after holding it together all dayHyper-stimulation shortens frustration toleranceLosing problem-solving skills makes everything feel like a threat

In today's unfiltered episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, we go straight into the rigged election machine that's robbing Americans of their voice, spotlighting how fake Republicans and Democrats alike are propped up by fraud while true patriots like Tina Peters suffer. The 70-year-old Gold Star Mom is back in the hole after defending herself from an assault in prison enough is enough! We cover the future of the Colorado Gubernatorial Race on the Republican Side. Colorado's education system is a total disaster, with grooming books like Jason June's twisted "Mermicorn Island" slipping into elementary libraries while less than 50% of students read at grade level according to data, proving priorities in Colorado are upside down. Our guest, Gen Z author Jane-Marie Auret (mom, wife, and cultural critic from Screens and the Ego), who breaks down how media programming through screens, social media addiction, and progressive groupthink is destroying young minds, families, and traditional values—offering real hope through awareness and deprogramming.Over the weekend, Minneapolis descended into pure insanity, fueled by deranged leftist rhetoric from leaders like Frey and "Tampon Tim" Walz, tying directly to the social engineering we discuss. Watch shocking footage of Don Lemon and anti-ICE agitators ambushing a church service, armed liberals "protecting" neighbors from ICE, road blockers impeding operations, and badass ICE agents standing firm while arresting child sex offenders. Harmeet Dhillon drops updates on DOJ moves, and we connect it all to media gaslighting that's conditioning the left into chaos. This is the raw truth of election theft, cultural decay, and the fightback. Catch us live and join the battle!

A surprise hire and a locked-down search The Detroit Lions named Drew Petzing their offensive coordinator, and almost no one saw it coming. Allen Park kept airtight operational security. No leaks. No whispers about interviews. Then the news hit. Reaction came fast. Arizona corners of Reddit and Twitter called it a mistake that could cost Dan Campbell his job. Hot takes piled up. The Detroit Lions Podcast pushed back on the rush to judgment. Skepticism is fair. Certainty is not. Why Petzing, and why now Michael Grey laid out the tension. After the John Morton experience and what went down with Anthony Lynn, a healthy dose of skepticism is earned. Petzing's resume does not blow you away. That is the rub. If Campbell steps to the podium and says this hire checks every box, that he wants to build an offense with this coach at the helm, then the path is clear. If you believe it, you do it. Still, the question hangs in the air: with this Detroit Lions offense built to run like a supercar, was this the driver you had to have today? The staff could have waited. The staff could have chased a coordinator with a more proven track record. Instead, they chose their guy now. What Arizona tendencies say The show pointed to a graphic on 2024 receiving yards by route. When the Arizona Cardinals offense was healthy, Marvin Harrison led the league in crossing-route yards. The screen game was also a featured piece under Petzing. That lands with a thud in Detroit after a rough year for screens. It still offers clues. Expect crossing concepts. Expect screens. Expect a clear identity when it's rolling. There was another wrinkle. The Cardinals' offense fell off before James Conner got hurt. The loss of offensive line coach Clayton Adams, who left for Dallas, was felt. In Detroit, that underscores how vital Hank Fraley is to everything the Lions do up front. Campbell's bet and the personnel hints The hosts kicked around possible shifts to more 12 and 13 personnel. That would track with a physical approach and a coordinator willing to lean into tight ends. Maybe Petzing in Arizona had a tough hand. Kyler Murray's situation. Bidwell ownership. All of it. Maybe the fit in Detroit unlocks more. Maybe not. The Detroit Lions Podcast kept it honest: no doom calls, no instant coronations. Just questions and concrete markers to watch. Campbell will have to own this hire. He will call Petzing collaborative and one of their guys. Then the work starts. Scheme must meet personnel. Crossing routes must become explosives. Screens must stop being giveaways. The NFL does not wait. Neither will Detroit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3cswm3kJBI #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #drewpetzing #dancampbell #arizonacardinals #thegreyarea #marvinharrison #crossingroutes #screengame #12personnel #13personnel #hankfraley #claytonadams #jamesconner #kylermurray #anthonylynn #johnmorton #allenparkopsec Learn more about your ad choices.

The design industry has changed more in the past five years than in the previous two decades. In this episode, Amy Courtney and I unpack how technology, social media, and shifting client expectations have transformed the way designers work, communicate, and create. From in-person collaboration to photography, craftsmanship, and professional credibility, the conversation explores what it really means to practice design today. A candid discussion about design after 2020, the rise of digital culture, evolving client behavior, and why experience still matters more than visibility. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep I sat down with designer Amy Courtney and together, we are going to examine how dramatically the design industry has shifted since 2020—and what those changes mean for designers, clients, and the creative process itself. What began as a necessity during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent shift in how projects are managed, communicated, and perceived. The conversation opens with how in-person collaboration has largely been replaced by screens, emails, and digital presentations. While technology has made certain aspects of design more efficient, it has also introduced new challenges: endless email threads, over-reliance on links and screenshots, and a growing disconnect between how spaces are discussed and how they are actually experienced. Both speakers reflect on the loss of face-to-face interaction and how it has altered everything from client relationships to decision-making. From there, the discussion moves into how design has become more visible—and more misunderstood—than ever before. With social media and image-driven platforms shaping expectations, clients often arrive with highly specific visual references but little understanding of how those ideas translate into real-world construction. The conversation explores how designers now spend much of their time educating clients, explaining limitations, and helping them understand the difference between inspiration and execution. Photography plays a major role in this shift. Where designers once photographed only select projects, today's market pressures encourage constant documentation. The episode unpacks the financial and creative cost of professional photography, the tension between editorial standards and reality, and how images can sometimes misrepresent how spaces actually function. The discussion also touches on how publication expectations and sponsorships can influence what gets shown—and what gets left out. Another central theme is the difference between designers and tastemakers. Courtney and I examine how social platforms have blurred professional lines, allowing anyone with a strong aesthetic to claim authority. We discuss the growing confusion this creates for clients and the importance of experience, education, and technical understanding in producing successful projects. While inspiration is everywhere, execution still requires training, judgment, and accountability. The episode also dives into the influence of upbringing and mentorship. From growing up around construction and craftsmanship to learning directly from tradespeople, the conversation highlights how hands-on experience shapes a designer's confidence and decision-making. This background, combined with curiosity and respect for process, becomes the foundation for meaningful work. The conversation closes with a reflection on credibility, creativity, and the responsibility designers have to guide clients honestly. In a culture driven by speed and visibility, the episode argues for a return to thoughtful process, clear communication, and design rooted in real-world understanding. How design practice has changed since 2020 The impact of remote work and screen-based communication Photography, social media, and shifting industry expectations The difference between designers and tastemakers Client education and managing unrealistic inspiration The value of construction knowledge and hands-on experience Navigating publication standards and editorial pressure Why credibility and process still matter Design has never been more visible—or more misunderstood. As technology reshapes how people engage with spaces and professionals, the role of the designer has become both more complex and more essential. This episode makes the case for slowing down, valuing experience, and remembering that great design is built on knowledge, intention, and trust—not algorithms or aesthetics alone.

Screens, social media, gaming, and digital devices are part of everyday childhood, but how do we guide our kids safely and wisely through it all?In this episode, I'm joined by Sue Atkins, parenting expert and host of the Navigating the Digital Jungle podcast, to help parents confidently navigate screen time, online safety, and age-appropriate digital boundaries for children.We dive into how to have ongoing conversations with kids about technology and how parents can stay proactive rather than reactive in today's digital world.

A while back, we shared a video on social media about the importance of making time for intimacy, dating, and connection in marriage. One man responded strongly, explaining that he, and many other husbands, simply did not have the “time” and felt we did not understand the realities of busy life.What followed was a conversation that went back and forth for nearly three hours, centered on his belief that there was truly no time available to connect with his wife. At one point, Amy gently pointed out that while he felt he had no time for his marriage, he had found several hours to engage in the discussion and remain active on social media. The conversation ended shortly after, but the point remained clear.We hear this often. Couples talk about being too busy for date nights, postponing vacations, putting off intimacy, or avoiding deeper emotional connection. Yet we live in a world where convenience surrounds us. Food arrives in minutes, answers are instant, and entertainment is available at the push of a button.Still, many couples feel they do not have time for the most important relationship in their lives, their marriage.The truth is not that time is unavailable, but that it is often unintentionally allocated elsewhere. Screens, distractions, and endless obligations slowly take priority while marriage gets pushed to the margins. When couples begin to look honestly at how time is spent, even small shifts can create space for meaningful connection. Prioritizing marriage is rarely about finding more time, it is about choosing where our time goes.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we talk about why “too busy” is the ultimate relationship killer and the simple things you can do to reclaim your time, your connection, and your love, even in the middle of life's chaos.

Screens don't just steal attention, they quietly change how your eyes work. In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with optometrist and dry-eye specialist Dr. Pam Theriot to explain what's really happening when we stare close-up for hours: we blink less, the oil layer of our tears can thicken and clog, and over time that can snowball into dry eye disease, even in younger adults. Dr. Pam shares a simple at-home “how long can you go without blinking” self-check, practical prevention habits, and easy tweaks for kids, readers, gamers, and anyone glued to a computer all day. It's one of those conversations that makes you want to walk away, look at the horizon, and start taking eye care as seriously as brushing your teeth.

We are in the thick of winter right now and you might have found yourself reaching for your phone or your remote a little more often. Winter has a way of stretching our evenings long and making screens feel like the easiest option to entertain us, pass the time, and keep the kids occupied. When it's cold, dark, and especially if everyone's been together all day, it's tempting to default to tablets, TVs, or phones just to get through until bedtime. And if that's been your rhythm lately, that's okay. This episode isn't to shame you, but I think most of us want to turn to screens less and spend more time together as a family. And winter can also be such a good  opportunity for family connection with slower paced nights and more indoor time with the people we care about. In this episode, we talk about what winter family time can look like without screens, not in a super strict or guilt-driven way, but in a realistic, life-giving way. I share some screen boundaries that we put in place and simple ideas and habits that help your family actually enjoy being together during these colder months.

In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton Greene, Amy Kavanaugh, and Chris Pappalardo talk about family road trips—and why car time holds a unique kind of power for connection.From screen time debates to nostalgic memories of road trip games and long conversations, the hosts explore how modern families navigate travel while still making space for meaningful interaction. They reflect on how the car creates an unusual environment: physically close, removed from daily distractions, and often more open to honest conversation.The conversation also draws parallels to biblical journeys, noting how travel has long been a context for formation, teaching, and transformation. Rather than rushing through the drive, the hosts invite listeners to embrace the inefficiency of road trips—trusting that the slow, unplanned moments along the way often shape families just as much as the destination.Takeaways Car time creates a unique space for conversation that doesn't exist at home—or on planes.Road trips work because they're inefficient, not in spite of it.Screens don't automatically ruin connection—they can sometimes make it possible.Meaningful family conversations can't be scheduled or forced; they emerge over time.Travel time is one of the key moments Scripture names for forming faith in kids.The enclosed, shared space of a car invites vulnerability and openness.Non-productive togetherness often forms families more than structured activities.The journey itself can shape relationships as much as the destination.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Family Road Trips00:58 The Importance of Car Time08:22 Preparing for the Road Trip15:42 The Unique Opportunity of Road Trips23:13 Creating Meaningful Conversations32:13 Embracing Inefficiency in Family Travel36:36 Conclusion and Final Thoughtsfamily road trips, car conversations, meaningful family time, parenting tips, screen time balance, family bonding, travel games, spiritual habits, GoodKind Podcast, family togetherness

If effort feels heavier than it used to, the problem isn't your motivation.A screen-driven world is suppressing your brain's agency system.When reward is instant, and stimulation is constant, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) stops initiating effort.You don't feel lazy. You feel stuck.Not because you lack discipline, but because your brain has been trained to wait for urgency instead of choosing action.This is a regulation issue, not a mindset flaw.And when you restore effort before reward, agency comes back online.Why Effort Feels Hard Now: The Neuroscience of Agency, Screens, and Follow-Through

We're looking ahead to 2026 and breaking down the movies, TV shows, video games, and real-world experiences we're most excited about.

This week on the Option Select Podcast, we kick things off with our usual weeks in review, breaking down what we've been playing, watching, and spending way too much time on. From there, we dive into the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set and share our thoughts on what's new, what stands out, and what has us cautiously optimistic. We wrap things up by running through the latest gaming news, hitting the biggest stories and updates from around the industry. As always, it's a mix of games, cards, and whatever else caught our attention this week.

In this episode, Adam and Ashlee get real about devices, boundaries, and raising kids in a screen-saturated world. They unpack a viral “90s childhood” parenting trend (VCRs, landlines, no streaming, classic consoles) and talk about the difference between intentional family connection vs. parenting that turns into strict rule-based control. If you've ever wondered how to keep your home grounded without becoming extreme—or accidentally creating curiosity and rebellion later—this conversation is for you.They also share what's working in their own house right now: no iPads Monday–Friday, weekend structure, and a focus on building maturity over age-based rules. Adam and Ashlee talk through ADHD, dopamine-chasing, teaching kids why boundaries exist, and how to stay consistent in public settings (especially when other parents' rules get… complicated). Plus: media discernment, nostalgia vs. your kids' real interests, and how to shape character through sports, discipline, and everyday decisions.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

Tonight we step into the gray areas people are told not to look at. We talk Freemasonry in Minnesota, 33-degree symbolism, and why certain patterns keep repeating in plain sight. We separate the ridiculous conspiracies from the uncomfortable ones that actually hold up under scrutiny. We also revisit Mary Magdalene—not as the caricature we were taught, but as a woman whose role may have been deliberately minimized, if not erased entirely. And finally, I explain why I changed my voter registration to unaffiliated—and why walking away from party identity isn't apathy, but clarity.

If you work in media, marketing, or advertising, you know this tension: Screens dominate. Measurement has lagged. And it's harder to answer questions like “Where does attention really happen?” and “What actually moves people…and how do I prove it?” This episode offers some answers, from three executives I spoke with at CES 2026. Though we talk about the newest cool tools (it IS the largest consumer tech show), these conversations explore how media works when it follows consumers from the couch to the car, in stores, in culture, and across audio—and how measurement is finally catching up to meaning. Learn what's working now and what's coming next, according to: Jim Riley, President of Stingray U.S., explains how audio, ambient TV, karaoke, and in-car experiences are converging—and how their effort to connect these environments creates value for brands, platforms, and consumers alike.  From FAST channels to automotive dashboards, Jim shares how following people across screens (and beyond them) is reshaping media strategy. (And don't miss an archival image of Jim making music “back in the day” himself!) Kimberly Hairston-Hicks, CMO of Sanofi's Gold Bond, brings a powerful brand perspective rooted in authenticity and cultural relevance. She talks candidly (and I sing) about letting go of control, redefining success beyond impressions, and building partnerships based on shared values—showing how human connection and business results don't have to be at odds. Hint: They paired perfectly with celebrity Chelsea Handler over shared values and love of the product! Chelsea Handler Skiing with Gold Bond! (And learn why Kimberly wears a “cape,” and owes a debt of gratitude to women who help women!) Jennifer Louie Oon, SVP of Sales at DAX US, closes the loop with a look at audio advertising today—and why its moment is now…especially when brands can reach markets or audiences other platforms  or apps often miss. She explains how DAX is solving for that, along with measurement tools that can finally demonstrate audio's impact in real time and the power of advertisers still having presence in screen-free moments. (And find out why old school Legos really grabbed her during the world's largest tech show!)  Get some practical thought starters on audio advertising, brand authenticity, media measurement, and human-centered marketing—without the jargon or hype…and with a little bit of singing and laughs! Key Moments & Time Codes 00:00–01:22 — Why this episode connects audio, TV, brand marketing, and ad tech 03:29–04:43 — Why karaoke is becoming a serious media business Jim Riley explains how Stingray turned a universal behavior—singing in the car—into a gamified, social, and monetizable experience across TVs and automotive dashboards. 05:40–06:20 — From couch to car to checkout Jim outlines Stingray's vision for linking TV, in-car audio, and retail media—following consumers across environments and tying media exposure to real-world action. 08:02–08:37 — When advertising doesn't belong everywhere A candid discussion on why karaoke stays ad-free, how premium experiences are monetized differently, and what “everybody wins” actually looks like in practice. 12:44–13:20 — “Let it go” as a marketing strategy Kimberly Hairston-Hicks shares why perfection is the enemy of progress—and how letting go of control creates stronger brands and better outcomes. 18:19–20:29 — Authenticity beats star power Kimberly breaks down the Gold Bond–Chelsea Handler partnership, revealing why shared values—not celebrity size—drive cultural relevance and real KPIs. 21:01–22:11 — When impressions aren't the point anymore A reframing of success: why cultural moments, memory, and longevity matter just as much as raw reach—and how brands should measure that. 26:07–27:25 — Beauty, confidence, and showing up fully A powerful, personal exchange on how products—and leadership—can change how people feel about themselves, from the boardroom to daily life. 35:07–36:05 — Audio measurement finally catches up Jennifer Louie Oon explains how DAX is using brand-lift measurement to prove what audio has always delivered—and why this changes how brands plan media. 37:18–38:06 — Why audio's moment is now Screen-free moments, smarter targeting, and better measurement come together—making the case for audio as a core, not supplemental, channel in 2026 planning.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna review a pivotal population-based study from Norway examining a new approach to Early-Onset Sepsis (EOS). The hosts discuss whether serial physical examinations can safely replace routine antibiotic prophylaxis in at-risk term and late-preterm infants. With antibiotic exposure often far exceeding sepsis incidence, this study offers compelling data for a "less is more" strategy. Tune in as Ben and Daphna explore the safety, efficacy, and bedside implications of substituting automatic treatment with structured clinical monitoring—and what this means for reducing unnecessary interventions in the NICU.----Serial physical examination to reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure in newborn infants: a population-based study.

Send us a textThis is Part 2 of Dr. Jessica Hochman's conversation with Mike McLeod, founder of Grow Now ADHD — and it's packed with practical strategies.We talk about why internet-connected screens can be especially dysregulating for kids with ADHD, how to recognize when screen use is crossing into addiction, and what “authoritative parenting” looks like when you're setting limits that kids will absolutely push back on.In this episode, part 2, we cover:Which types of screen time are most harmful (and why TV is different)The biggest myths parents tell themselves about gaming and social connectionHow to set boundaries without negotiating constantlyGetting kids out of the house and back into real-world experiencesChores and non-preferred tasks: why verbal prompting backfiresSchool accommodations that help — vs “accommodations” that set kids up to struggle laterWhat the “ideal school” could look like (and why many kids would love it)About Mike McLeod: Mike McLeod is the founder of Grow Now ADHD.

From microplastics in your brain to multivitamins that actually work, Dr. Rhonda Patrick of FoundMyFitness separates real science from wellness hype here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1267What We Discuss with Dr. Rhonda Patrick:Microplastics are accumulating in our brains at up to 10 times more than other organs, and studies show people with Alzheimer's disease had up to 10 times more microplastics in their brains than those without, suggesting these invisible particles may be driving neuroinflammation and cognitive decline.That "BPA-free" label on your water bottle is essentially a marketing sleight of hand. Companies simply replaced BPA with BPS — a chemical now proven to be just as harmful as its predecessor, still disrupting hormones and leaching into everything you drink.Screens and phones are the new sitting (which was the new smoking). Early screen time exposure in children is now linked to depression, mental illness, and even sensory processing issues later in life — and the dopamine-hijacking effects mirror how hyper-palatable processed foods rewire taste preferences.A basic Centrum Silver multivitamin taken daily for two years delayed global brain aging by over two years and episodic memory decline by nearly five years in older adults, contradicting decades of "expensive urine" dismissals from the medical community.Your brain's best friend might be sitting in your gym bag. Creatine at 10 grams daily accumulates in brain tissue, eliminates afternoon energy crashes, and supercharges cognitive performance under stress — a cheap, evidence-backed hack anyone can start today.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
