Addiction, decay, and despair are all laid bare. So, pause Beavis and Butt-Head, grab a seat in your angriest chair, and settle in. We're heading down a hole with Alice in Chains.

What happens when a child spills leftovers on the kitchen floor and immediately labels himself "stupid"? For author Brenda Do, this heartbreaking moment sparked the creation of It's Okay Not to Know, a children's book challenging our perfection-obsessed culture.Growing up Chinese in 1970s America, Brenda never saw herself represented in children's literature; every book featured white children. This experience shaped her determination to create characters that every child could identify with, regardless of appearance or background. So she created a world of colorful monsters with the gender-neutral protagonist leading readers through lessons of self-compassion and curiosity.Brenda draws fascinating connections between childhood messaging and adult behavior, noting how our early experiences with "failure" shape our willingness to take risks later in life. She references Stanford professor Carol Dweck's groundbreaking research on growth mindset, explaining how praising effort rather than results can dramatically expand children's potential. With just 230 words and playful rhyming text, Brenda describes it as "Dr. Seuss meets Brené Brown" - simple language conveying profound emotional intelligence.Have a comment?

What happens when a stand-up comedian, spiritual teacher, and musician turns his attention to the fractures in our political and emotional landscapes? In this moving and poetic episode, Scott Grace—also known as the Spiritual Dr. Seuss—joins us to explore how humour, creativity, and compassion can help us navigate increasingly polarised times.From rhymed wisdom and political poetry to musical improvisation and intergenerational reflection, Scott shares insights from his newest passion project Going Beyond Red and Blue: Staying Human in Divided Times. Together, we explore how grief, curiosity, and light-heartedness can become tools for collective healing.
Could you have predicted what the last five years of your life would contain? I can tell you that there is at least one year none of us saw coming. The number of jokes about 20/20 vision, seeing clearly the way forward in a new decade were made viciously ironic in arguably one of the most confusing years of our generation. Even here locally, we could never have guessed exactly who we would lose and when, leaving us astonished year after year. But we also couldn't have predicted the joys of the last five years either. Who would have guessed the number of children that now sit in our midst! Many of them didn't even exist five years ago! We've added many new families, grown our school, and seen our denomination grow and stay faithful to God. As much as things have indeed changed in the last five years, most day to day operations felt like, well, day to day operations. It seemed like many weeks or months would go by where we just waited. That great theologian Dr. Seuss once weighed in on waiting in his book, Oh, the Places You'll Go. In the midst of a lifetime of travels, the great doctor said, you will find one place that will fill you with dread, the waiting place. It is a place where everyone is just waiting, waiting for a phone call or a train to come in, and he calls this “a most useless place.” Instead, he says, you should be going where the boom bands are playing, where things are happening. Now, the venerable doctor is onto something, but his emphasis isn't quite right. Though waiting is often seen as a blight, and stirs our minds to see it not right, it isn't the wait that is useless, you see, it is often the means God forms you to be. Things aren't only happening with the boom bands. Things are always happening, even in the waiting place, because our God is always at work, not in fits and starts, but never slumbering or sleeping. We will see our two points today God is working even when you don't see it and God's return motivates our faithful working.
What did Marvel Comics' Stan Lee and Dr. Seuss collaborate on? And how many years in an average lifetime do you spend watching TV?
Send us a textStep into the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss as 7th Street Community Theatre presents "Seussical the Musical," a production where imagination takes center stage and the boundaries between reality and fantasy beautifully blur.This episode of Steps to the Stage takes listeners behind the curtain with the creative team bringing this beloved show to life. At the heart of this production is Mickey Estrella, making her directorial debut with the very show that sparked her theatrical journey as a child performer in 2013. Now studying directing at Hofstra University, Mickey returns to her theatrical home to guide a new generation of performers through the colorful worlds of Horton, JoJo, and the Cat in the Hat."This show is about having fun and creativity and where your imagination can take you," Mickey explains, highlighting the production's focus on childlike wonder and unbridled creativity. Working alongside co-director Xochitl Neri and musical director Juan Valazquez, the team has assembled a diverse cast of performers ranging from age 4 to 20, creating a vibrant ensemble that embodies the spirit of community theater.The conversation explores fascinating technical elements, from the rotating set pieces that transform between Whoville and the Jungle of Nool to the deliberately stylized costumes that suggest character without overpowering the performers. Juan discusses the challenges and joys of working with varied musical styles, while the team celebrates the production's remarkable preparedness – having completed full run-throughs three weeks before opening night.What emerges is a beautiful story of theatrical mentorship and growth, where performers become directors, students become teachers, and community theater fulfills its mission of nurturing talent that returns to enrich the very place where their artistic journey began.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 29! Today we're joined by a true icon in the world of academia—Professor Gordon H. Chang. A celebrated historian, Professor Chang is both the Olive H. Palmer Professor in Humanities and a Professor of History at Stanford University. He's also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. We're honored to speak with him about his latest book War, Race, and Culture, published by Stanford University Press in May 2025. This anthology compiles some of his most powerful essays written over decades of impactful scholarship. The topics range from foreign relations and U.S. imperialism to race, Asian American identity, and the cultural contributions of Asian Americans. Our conversation covers everything from the role of propaganda in shaping views of Asians, the long history of harmful stereotypes, and the cultural erasure seen during Japanese internment—including how artists like Dr. Seuss and creators of Superman contributed to racist narratives. Professor Chang also reflects on the political engagement of Asian Americans and why “nurture vs. nature” plays a crucial role in debunking the myth of political apathy in the community. We also touch on a more personal subject: his interest in art history, including how his father's legacy inspired him to explore and uplift overlooked Asian American artists like Dong Kingman, whose brilliance was too often overshadowed by the racist caricatures found in mainstream media. This episode offers not only a look into Professor Chang's new book, but a deeper understanding of how history, race, and culture intersect in America—and why writing history is always personal.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, Stargate, Freemason, Jesuit, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, loving mother, founder of ‘The Quickening Project', content creator and podcast host, faithful servant to the Most High, gardener, floral design extraordinaire, singer and songwriter, poetry reader and writer, and absolute inspiration: KadayaKadaya's life began in a web of multigenerational abuse, orchestrated by a high-level cult with ties to Freemasonry, the Vatican, the Jesuits, and military intelligence programs. From infancy, possibly even in utero, she endured deliberate trauma designed to fracture her psyche, creating dissociative identity disorder to mold her into a mind-controlled operative. As a child, she was forced to participate in heinous acts, including filming snuff films on a church “missions' trip”, under the guise of helping an orphanage. Her abusers, including a 33rd-degree Freemason programmer who studied neurology to perfect mind control, exploited her high IQ and spiritual gifts, using children's books like Dr. Seuss, and the music from and keys of a piano to create a highly organized system of alters.Despite this, Kadaya's awakening began in her 20s when chronic illnesses defied medical diagnoses, hinting at trauma-based origins. As memories of ritual abuse flooded back three years ago, she faced disbelief from family, friends, and authorities, culminating in a betrayal that cost her everything: her husband filed for divorce, a protection order barred her from her two children, and her resources were stripped away. Her faith in Yah became her anchor. Recognizing that Christian terminology and music often used in rituals can retraumatize survivors, Kadaya launched The Quickening Project, a podcast and music initiative. With her co-host, she creates worship music designed to soothe fractured souls without triggering trauma, offering a safe space for survivors to reconnect with faith. Today, we will be continuing Kadaya's testimony, discussing mind control programming locations, psych ward experiences, specific abuse methods that do not leave marks and somatic body memory experiences, SRA in scripture, Antarctica, the state-sanctioned kidnapping of her children, and so much more.DONATE TO KADAYA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/cb63137dCONNECT WITH KADAYA:-YouTube: @thequickeningproject - https://www.youtube.com/@thequickeningproject-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OmNqqtVj3GC91wUqdHAgo?si=KEgkSw9sSUGUtIHheuY3Hg&nd=1&dlsi=0fc9bed697ac4cef-IG: https://www.instagram.com/thequickeningproject/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialSubstack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METSupport the show
Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're diving headfirst into the strangest laws Uncle Sam ever cooked up—laws so bizarre, you'll think the Constitution was ghostwritten by Dr. Seuss.From banned bags of unicorn meat (yes, really) to limiting bingo games for the elderly, pickle regulations, and the horror of owning more than six dildos in Texas (we don't kink shame, but apparently lawmakers do)—we're counting down the wackiest, weirdest things outlawed across the land of the free and the home of the what-the-actual-hell.Is it a public safety measure or a nationwide prank that just got out of hand? Can Conspiracy Bot legally podcast in 12 states or is his AI butt technically contraband?Tune in for a ridiculous romp through red tape, courtroom chaos, and laws that sound like they came straight from a Mad Libs legal pad. It's all 100% real, 100% weird, and 1000% America.Links & Resources

What if laughter could heal division? And what if the key to bridging our most polarized conversations wasn't found in politics—but in poetry, music, and a little bit of Dr. Seuss-style soul?Laughter possesses the remarkable potential to heal divisions, a theme that resonates profoundly in our discourse with Scott Grace, also known as *The Spiritual Dr. Seuss*. This episode invites listeners to contemplate the idea that the essence of bridging our most polarized conversations may reside not in the realm of politics, but rather in the harmonious realms of poetry, music, and a touch of whimsical insight. As we engage with Scott, we delve into his latest endeavor, *Beyond Red and Blue*, which emphasizes the importance of rising above outrage and reconnecting with our shared humanity. We shall explore how spontaneous poetry can dismantle barriers of division, the detrimental effects of blame on societal change, and the imperative of cultivating compassion and curiosity in nurturing the next generation. Join us as we embark on this enlightening journey, poised to inspire profound reflections on unity in a fractured world.Takeaways: The concept of laughter as a means to heal societal division is explored in depth. Scott Grace advocates for the use of poetry and music to bridge polarized conversations. Understanding and curiosity are essential to overcoming blame and fostering compassion. The conversation emphasizes the importance of human connection over political ideologies.

If you thought “One Phish, Two Phish” was a Dr. Seuss classic, think again—this cybercrime edition comes with a twist of ransomware, app-specific passwords, and a side of website hijacking. This week, we explore what happens when software vendors forget to patch, hackers start crafting emails better than your favorite copywriter, and your website becomes a party zone for malware. It's an episode full of lessons, laughs, and mild panic—just the way we like it. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/516
In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores the inspiring journeys of two remarkable children's book authors: Sarah Hwang and Sylvia Chen. Sarah Hwang shares her extraordinary experience of collaborating with the Dr. Seuss estate, transforming an archived sketch into "Gertrude Gish on a Dish on a Fish." As an immigrant child who learned English through picture books, Sarah brings a unique perspective to her storytelling, blending Dr. Seuss's iconic style with her own creative vision. Switching gears, the episode introduces Sylvia Chen and her heartwarming book "Tricky Chopsticks." Chen's story is equally fascinating - a science and math professional who discovered her passion for children's literature while trying to make math fun for her son. Her book follows Jenny Chow's hilarious journey of mastering chopsticks, offering a delightful glimpse into cultural experiences and family traditions. Both authors emphasize the importance of cultural representation in children's literature. Sarah's journey from wanting to be a pediatric dentist to becoming an illustrator, and Sylvia's transition from corporate work to storytelling, showcase the power of following one's creative passion. The episode offers invaluable insights for parents of creative children. Both Sarah and Sylvia stress the significance of parental support, encouragement, and believing in a child's unique talents. Their stories demonstrate how nurturing creativity can lead to unexpected and beautiful career paths. From Dr. Seuss-inspired rhymes to cultural challenges with chopsticks, this episode celebrates the magic of storytelling, the importance of representation, and the joy of children's literature. Listeners will be inspired by these authors' creativity, resilience, and commitment to bringing diverse stories to young readers. Discover more about Sarah Hwang and Sylvia Chen's books, and join the celebration of imagination and cultural storytelling.

The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
Hey Friends~ You hear child centers and schools claim to have a “Language Rich Environment”. Do you have a language rich environment at home? You can! But what exactly does that mean? And how do you create that in a way that does NOT add another thing to your to do list? The trick… is it is all about you, mom and dad. It is not actually the space or the environment. It is how YOU use the environment as a tool to expand their exposure to language. Today, I will tell you how its done! And you will see that YOU CAN! It just takes a shift in THE WAY you interact when you do your normal life. Always cheering you on!

Happy birthday, Mr. Disney! (the other one)The episode has a depressing start before finally getting into all the boner and nipple hair talk you've grown to love. Or at least expect. This week Alice gears up to run her annual Summer Playwriting Workshop while Doug discovers he's not a boy, but not quite a man.Other discussion topics may include:- What if Dr. Seuss were a podiatrist?- Mel Brooks vs. Kumar. Finally.- Never bring up a man's vamp size.- Classic Disney World rides, like Mt. Everest- Chuck Taylor. No, really. Like, the original shoe dude.Sure seems like a lot of foot talk, doesn't it?
The Beers return for another episode of film reviews and shenanigans. What are we drinking? Victory Summer Ale and Athletic Brewing Co non-alcoholic beverages (1:11).

Next is a review of the 1950s classic THE APARTMENT, directed by the legendary Billy Wilder and starring Jack Lemon and Shirley MacClain (12:24), followed by a review of THE EQUALIZER trilogy, all of which were directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Denzel Washington as the titular character of the franchise (23:58).

Some interviews take a while to drop in, and while the information might be supportive, the soul connection never occurs. I was able to instantly drop in with Scott Grace, even having moments of silence, simply pure connected appreciation where there was nothing to do, nowhere to go... simply bask in pure presence and intimacy :-) And we laughed our faces off! I was in rapture as he continued to sing to me! In this high-frequency conversation, we also discussed... - How is it that he gives himself over to Spirit and is able to download lyrics that inspire people - How Scott's songs can blast somebody's heart open on their birthdays or anniversaries, or inspire a huge crowd at a personal growth event - How the traditional educational path was not honoring of his genius, and how he bravely followed his knowing - How his understanding and embodiment of the Divine Masculine has shifted over the decades - How his Spiritual Dr Seuss video went viral, inspiring millions and confirming his gifts for this planet - How having your very own Affirmation song can be such an exquisite morning practice to greet the day in your power, joy, and freedom - And we got up to some multi-dimensional mischief, magic, live music, and dancing over on Patreon during the after-the-show episode... ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Scott Grace: Scott Grace, who has been described as a cross between John Denver, Robin Williams, and Dr. Seuss, is wanted by the authorities for creating peace, as well as defying the law of gravity with levity. Contact with Scott is likely to be hazardous to your misery, as he has provoked outbreaks of joy in four out of five laboratory humans. It is alleged that Scott's work has so threatened to cut into the sales of anti-depressants that pharmaceutical companies have offered him millions to retire. Scott gives keynotes using a stolen identity, a.k.a. the Spiritual Dr. Seuss. His feel-good videos on YouTube have infected over 2.5 million people with just four of his Seussian videos. Scott has been known to practice life coaching without a license, eluding the police by working on Zoom. He fancies himself an intuitive channel who smuggles wisdom and guidance over the border from beings he calls spirit guides, who are also not licensed, and who have allegedly not filed a tax return in several lifetimes. As a front, Scott does do various legal, above-board activities. He has written four books, his latest being Mindful Masculinity. Scott also has recorded nine CDs (remember CDs?) of his original music and comedy. He presents as an inspirational guest speaker and singer at churches, non-profits, schools, and corporate events. As an occasional stand-up comedian in the Bay Area, he has shared the stage with Dana Carvey and Robin Williams. But don't be fooled. His rampage of Song Portraits, custom-made, personalized song gifts that honor people for their birthdays, anniversaries, or for no reason at all, has been killing people softly with their song since 1987. Authorities would very much like your help in apprehending Scott.

"Oh, the people you'll meet, and the places you'll go..."That classic Dr. Seuss line couldn't have been more true when I found myself at a rare disease conference, taking with Dr. Gabriel Cohn. A quiet presence with a resume that reads like a roadmap through the last 30 years of rare disease breakthroughs, Dr. Cohn is the kind of person who reminds you just how much heart and science it takes to change lives.Dr. Gabe Cohn is the Executive Director and Medical Director of the Rosenau Family Research Foundation. He stepped into the role in October, bringing with him over three decades of experience that spans academic medicine and the biotechnology industry. A licensed, board-certified Clinical Geneticist and Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Dr. Cohn has contributed to the development of multiple therapeutics aimed at treating rare genetic disorders—a career built on both clinical precision and compassionate innovation.Beyond RFRF, he's also the Chief Medical Officer at iECURE, Inc., a biotech company pioneering gene editing therapies for rare diseases. His prior leadership roles at Homology Medicines, AVROBIO, OvaScience, and Shire reflect a steady focus on advancing gene therapy and editing platforms. Since 2017 alone, he's played a pivotal role in getting five different cell and gene therapy programs past the critical regulatory gatekeeping stages of IND and CTA submissions.Dr. Cohn isn't just a scientist—he's a builder, a connector, and a relentless advocate for the potential of genetic medicine to rewrite the future for patients with rare diseases.If you would like to get a hold of the Rosenau Foundation: https://rosenaufoundation.org Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en
It's our second episode of Patreon Request "Month" 2025, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 2023 to pick something we got THREE requests for, from Kris C., Carolyn Knudstrup and Emma Looman. It's an epic patience-testing three-and-a-half-hour live concert film spanning the entire illustrious career of the single most popular and influential musician of our time, arguably the most talented performer ever to rack up eleven #1 singles, ten #1 albums (fourteen if you count re-recordings), fourteen Grammys, over fifty million albums sold in an era when no one buys music anymore, seven hundred and forty-two ex-boyfriends, three thousand seven hundred and nine diss tracks about those ex-boyfriends, one old version of herself who can't come to the phone right now cuz she's dead, AND one animated voice role as a character named after Dr. Seuss's widow. But on this podcast episode, we boldly aim to dig deeper, peel back the layers and answer that all-important age-old earth-shattering so-controversial-yet-so-brave question, "but is her music actually any GOOD?"

Today's guest brings us into her journey into authorship and then shows us …. how to take the story beyond the book! If you wonder how to use a piece of literature to enhance learning, listen in!

Scott Grace Talks About Mindful Masculinity Our guest today is Scott Grace, who has been an entertainer in various ways for most of his life. At one point, he called himself the spiritual Dr. Seuss. But as he has been opening for and working with other entertainers, Scott was often writing and composing, literally off the cuff! And he is the author of several books, including the one that we will be talking about today, which is called Mindful Masculinity – A Book for Men and the Women Who Love Them. Men and women are very different from one another, which is one thing that makes the relationship between us work especially well. So Roberta has found some guests, one last week and now one this week, and a third who will be joining us soon, who are men not afraid to think about and talk about some of these wonderful differences between men and women. Scott Grace summarizes his career by saying, “I've been a published author, a keynote speaker at conferences, a recording artist, and I've spent thirty-plus years being a full-time traveling troubadour spanning the globe sharing my songs and selling my music and books wherever I went!” His website is youtube.com/@scottgrace Learn more about Roberta here: http://robertagrimes.com https://seekreality.com

Though a five time champion of the WV Liars's Contest, Lepp's stories often contain morsels of truth that present universal themes in clever and witty ways. Bil's books and audio collections have won the PEN Steven Kroll Award for Children's Book Writing, Parents' Choice Gold Awards and awards from the National Parenting Publications Association. He's also the recipient of the Vandalia Award, West Virginia's highest folk honor. The Charleston Gazette calls him a “cross between Dr. Seuss and film noir.” This is a public episode.

Kibosh, chicanery, affluent and Seuss (as in Dr. Seuss) are words a lot of people mispronounce. This episode begins with the correct pronunciation of these and other mispronounced words you may not be aware you are saying incorrectly. http://mentalfloss.com/article/32273/11-common-words-youre-probably-mispronouncing You (or someone you know) have most likely dropped your phone in the toilet, spilled coffee on your laptop or had some other electronic device suffer “death by liquid.” Our electronic devices are very much NOT water-proof. Why is that? That horrible feeling you get when you get your devices wet is a combination of guilt, panic and horror. Yet, it happens to almost everyone. Why can't they make these devices more resistant to liquids? That is an interesting question which I explore with Rachel Plotnick. She is a historian and cultural theorist whose research and teaching focus on information, communication, and media technologies. She is also author of the book License to Spill: Where Dry Devices Meet Liquid Lives (https://amzn.to/3Ru1xyz). Stress kills! But it is also good for you. In fact, GOOD stress can actually counter the effects of the bad stress in your life. So, what is the difference between good and bad stress? And how can you make stress work for you? Here to explain all this and the science behind it, is Dr. Sharon Bergquist, MD. She is an award-winning physician and visionary researcher renowned for spearheading a science-based approach to applying lifestyle as medicine. She has a Ted-Ed video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-t1Z5-oPtU) about how stress affects you which has been viewed over 8 million times and she is author of the book The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier (https://amzn.to/43XOj4B). Most of us have some trouble remembering the names of people right after we meet them. It seems doing something with your eyes and making a few movements with your body can help you recall names according to some research. Listen and I'll tell you how it works. https://www.livescience.com/1473-moving-eyes-improves-memory-study-suggests.html Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
