Podcasts about seventeen

Seventeen million views. People with real bills, real health problems, real crises in their own families stopped what they were doing to be outraged about a YouTuber they've never met. Not because Jesse Ridgway's story is more important than their own lives. Because their brains are built to respond to outrage faster than reason. Research shows moral outrage triggers dopamine — the same reward pathway that makes drugs addictive. The platforms know it. The algorithms amplify it. And Jesse Ridgway has spent twenty years learning how to trigger it.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what's actually happening in someone's brain when they choose a stranger's drama over their own real life, why the not-knowing — is it real or fake? — makes the content stickier than scripted fiction, and what daily consumption of rage bait, staged crises, and performed lives is doing to the developing brains of the teenagers watching it. If you've ever wondered why you can't scroll past Jesse Ridgway even when you know you're being played, this is why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every click validates the behavior. Every comment fuels the next stunt. Every share tells Jesse Ridgway's brain that what he's doing is working. Seventeen million people saw his pregnancy announcement. If Jesse is sick, the audience is the IV drip. Research shows that expressing outrage online fires the same dopamine reward pathways as direct social validation — and like any drug, you build a tolerance. You need something more extreme to feel the same hit.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott looks at the audience side of the Jesse Ridgway equation. Why people with real problems in their own lives choose to spend emotional energy on a stranger's manufactured drama. Why the real-or-fake gray zone makes the content more addictive, not less. And whether the millions of people engaging with Jesse Ridgway are co-dependent in the cycle — supplying him the attention his brain demands, guaranteeing that the next stunt will be worse than the last.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part 2: Seventeen's Vernon and The8 are bringing their V8 tour to Hong Kong this July

In 2009, marine biologist Sylvia Earle stood on the TED stage and made a wish: to build a global network of "Hope Spots" and protect the ocean before it's too late. Seventeen years later, she's back to report on what's happened since — and the picture is both more urgent and more hopeful than you might expect. From 100,000 fur seals saved from near-extinction to coral reefs rebuilt clam by clam, Earle says we already know exactly what needs to be done; the only thing left is to find the will to do it.(Following her talk, Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, interviews Earle on how she uses AI to gather data on the ocean and what she saw in a one-person submarine surfacing off the coast of Hawaii during a storm.)

The psychological profile that emerges from the Kouri Richins case presents a specific form of compartmentalization that forensic professionals have documented but rarely encounter at this operational duration. For approximately fourteen months following Eric Richins' death, the defendant maintained a constructed identity — grieving mother, children's book author, television interview subject — that was sufficiently convincing to deceive every personal acquaintance who subsequently testified at trial.The behavioral evidence suggests this was not conventional deception in the performative sense. The psychology at work involves a migration into an alternate self-narrative so complete that the individual operates within it as reality. The grieving-mother identity functioned as her lived experience. The actions that preceded it — the fentanyl, the cocktail, the death — existed in a psychologically sealed compartment she did not access in her daily presentation. That dissociative architecture explains the 911 call's emotional quality, the social gathering the following day, the Google searches for luxury incarceration facilities and insurance claim timelines conducted without apparent distress, and the television appearances promoting a children's grief book written by the person responsible for the grief.The escalation pattern preceding the crime follows a documented forensic trajectory. The Valentine's Day attempt — which Eric Richins survived after experiencing respiratory distress and reportedly reaching for an EpiPen — did not produce reconsideration. It produced refinement. Seventeen days elapsed. The defendant continued to cohabitate, co-parent, and conduct professional real estate transactions. The second attempt employed approximately five times the lethal dose. The psychological mechanism that enables a failed homicide attempt to generate a more effective plan rather than retreat is consistent with a decision-making framework in which the target has been fully dehumanized — reduced from a person to a financial variable.The underlying financial architecture supports that analysis: approximately $4.5 million in undisclosed debt, a concurrent relationship with Robert Josh Grossmann that functioned as preparation for a post-death life, and insurance policies acquired on the victim's life without his knowledge. The jury required less than three hours.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Beacon council continues review of capital needs More than 60 percent of the sidewalks and 80 percent of crosswalks in Beacon are in "good" to "very good" condition, meaning they are at least generally accessible to people with disabilities and, for crosswalks, adequately visible with little damage, according to a recent Dutchess County study. Creighton Manning, a Poughkeepsie engineering firm, spent 124 hours in the field, noting 2,400 observation points, from last fall through the spring, to produce a report on the city's pedestrian facilities. A draft of the report, which was funded by the Dutchess Transportation Council, was shared with the City Council on Monday (June 1). The study cataloged Beacon's sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps and pedestrian signals, evaluating each on a scale from 1 (worst) to 4 (best). Seventeen percent of the city's 281,000 feet of sidewalks were considered "fair" (2); 19 percent were "poor" (1). There are 274 crosswalks; 11 percent were visible with some damage (2), but just 2 percent were extremely deteriorated (1). The city's 856 curb ramps, the sloped section of sidewalk leading into a curb, were ranked highly, with 82 percent "good" or "very good" (3 or 4), 12 percent "fair" (2) and 6 percent "poor" (1). There are pedestrian signals at about a dozen sites in Beacon, and all were said to function properly. Creighton Manning also created maps showing priority locations for sidewalk and curb ramp improvements, with each ranked for proximity to Main Street, schools and public parks. Needs were spread throughout the city and Mayor Lee Kyriacou said they mostly reflected his own observations. While not part of the report, Transportation Council data collected by volunteers in 2025 showed that Beacon's Main Street had the most pedestrian traffic in the county. The Creighton Manning study found the sidewalk on Main Street to be "very good," the highest of the four grades, although a number of sidewalks in the Main Street-adjacent Transitional Zone were graded "poor." Crosswalks on and around Main Street were largely given a 3 or 4 as "adequate" or "like new." The City Council will hold a public hearing on June 15 on nearly $10 million in spending on equipment and capital projects scheduled for 2027. Each year, the council must approve funding for the following year's capital plan by July 31. Of five funding streams for 2027 projects, the city expects to receive the most ($4.3 million) from state and federal aid, said Finance Director Susan Tucker. Most of that ($3.6 million) will be used to rehabilitate Beekman Street. Tucker said Beacon plans to borrow $3.1 million and allocate $1.9 million of it as additional funding to construct a water-storage tank at the Mount Beacon Reservoir. (The city budgeted $1.6 million on the project in 2026.) About $2.4 million of the city's savings will be used for other projects, the most expensive of which is the first phase of improvements to the southwest corner of Memorial Park ($308,000). The final two funding sources, grants and a recreation trust that developers pay into, will provide $55,000 and $92,000 next year, respectively. Two weeks ago, during the council's initial review of its five-year capital plan, there was some debate about when and how the city should move ahead with plans for a community or enhanced recreation center. On Monday, council members seemed to agree that the next step would be to dedicate funding in the 2027 operating budget for a feasibility report. The council has the option each year to set aside funding for planning studies; the 2026 budget includes $100,000 to be split between a study to create a biking master plan and housing resources. A study in 2027 would likely provide insight into programming needs. Further research would be needed to determine whether improvements to the Recreation Department building at 23 West Center St. could satisfy Beacon residents' desire for a "third space" where the community — particularly chi...

Ted Bundy was convicted of aggravated kidnapping in Utah in 1976. Bench trial. Judge Stewart Hanson. Sentenced to one to fifteen years. In October 1976, Colorado charged him with the murder of Caryn Campbell. He was extradited to Aspen in January 1977.As his own attorney, he received the legal courtesies the Sixth Amendment requires. Library access. No shackles. No handcuffs in the building. The Pitkin County Courthouse gave a murder defendant the run of the second floor.On June 7, 1977, he jumped from the library window. Twenty-five feet to an alley. Across the Roaring Fork River. Six days in the wilderness east of Aspen. A manhunt involving bloodhounds, helicopters, and roadblocks on Highway 82. Recaptured June 13 in a stolen Cadillac by Officer Gene Flatt.Transferred to the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs. Over the following months, he stopped eating, lost more than twenty pounds, and widened a gap around the light fixture in his ceiling. On December 30, 1977 — New Year's weekend, skeleton staff — he crawled through the ceiling into the head jailer's empty apartment, dressed in civilian clothes, and walked out.Seventeen hours later, a guard found books under the blanket.Bundy's route: Glenwood Springs to Vail to Denver to Chicago to Ann Arbor to Atlanta to Tallahassee, Florida. Nine days. A stolen car. A plane. Two trains. Two buses. He arrived in a state that had no file on him.This is the third of five conversations in Ted Bundy: History's Hidden Killers. Two escapes. Two preventable failures.

On her life at everywhere from Cosmo to Seventeen to Shape to Marie Claire. On the difference between a print byline and a digital byline. On the glory days of magazines. On Seventeen during its golden run.

Today I am joined by Connie Porter! Connie is the author of the Addy series, a series of historical children's novels from American Girl.  Her first novel, All-Bright Court was named in 1991 as a Notable Book by the American Library Association, and by the New York Times as one of its "Best Books."  Her essays have appeared in Glamour and Seventeen, and her book reviews in The Boston Globe and New York Times. She is also the author of  Imani All Mine which was named an Honor Book by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, an Alex Award winner by the Young Adult Services Association of the American Library Association, as well as being chosen as one of the Best Books for Young Adults by the ALA.  Book List also picked it as one of Editors' Choice for Best Books For Young Adults.  In 2019, the Children's Literature Association named Imani All Mine the winner of the Phoenix Award. The Phoenix Award “is given to the author, or the estate of the author, of a book for children first published twenty years earlier that did not win a major award at the time of its publication but which, from the perspective of time, is deemed worthy of special attention. In this episode Connie and I talk about her career as a writer, how she got the opportunity to write the Addy series, what that process looked like, what she hopes readers take with them, and so much more! Connie's Instagram World Vision

Have you ever looked back and realised you didn't choose aspects of your life so much as drift into it? That was me. Seventeen years in a successful career, moving up, being chosen, being wanted. And drifting. Not because I was lazy or lost, but because I was living the life I thought I should be living rather than one my heart actually wanted. In this episode, I explore the idea Napoleon Hill called drifting and why it affects so many ambitious, capable people who look fine on the outside. We talk about the three things that help you move from unconscious living to something more deliberate. They are, knowing what you genuinely want, believing you can have it, and taking the small actions that inch you forward. This isn't about five-year plans or goal-setting frameworks. It's about reconnecting to what your heart is actually asking for.

Valentine's Day 2022. Kouri Richins gave her husband a fentanyl-laced sandwich. He got violently sick. He called friends and told them he thought he was dying. He survived. Seventeen days later, she put five times the lethal dose in a Moscow Mule. He didn't survive.Most people can't get past the horror of the act itself. But the seventeen-day window between the first attempt and the second is the most psychologically revealing piece of evidence in this case. Because normal fear, normal guilt, normal self-preservation should have kicked in after Valentine's Day. Instead, what kicked in was revision.This episode launches a five-part series breaking down the psychology of Kouri Richins' decision-making — not the evidence, but the wiring. How a woman $4.5 million in debt projected an image of success that fooled everyone around her. How an affair became a rehearsal for a life that required her husband's absence. How the prenup made divorce financially unacceptable and death financially attractive. And how seventeen days of recalibration tells you more about what's broken inside her than any single piece of evidence at trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Seventeen foreign universities have set up campuses in India in two years. Most can't fill their seats. And a Rs 1,000 crore scholarship push launched last month is the most visible sign yet that something isn't working.The pitch is this: a western degree without the visa hassle, at Rs 15 to 25 lakh a year, which is roughly what Ashoka and Plaksha charge, but without the research environment or the actual campus. Students who wanted to leave India aren't particularly interested in a single-floor setup in a Gift City corporate building.So why are so many foreign universities suddenly this desperate for Indian students?Tune in to find out.*Correction: The host mentions that Emeritus is the parent company of Eruditus. Eruditus is the company that has partnered with seven schools for a revenue-sharing model, not Emeritus. Emeritus is a brand under Eruditus. *Clarification: The profit Eruditus posted of $400 million is independent of its partnerships with the universities. Classes under this partnership are yet to start and has made no revenue yet.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

The families needed Mackenzie Shirilla to be a monster. The prosecutor built a narrative that confirmed it. A judge agreed. But what if the truth is messier than any version anyone in this case is willing to accept — and what if the one piece of evidence that could have proven it was never heard?Seventeen-year-old Shirilla drove her Toyota Camry into a building in Strongsville, Ohio at close to a hundred miles per hour in July 2022, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan. She was convicted in a bench trial of four counts of murder after prosecutors argued the crash was an intentional act fueled by a deteriorating relationship. The judge called it a mission executed with precision. Shirilla, now twenty-one, says she has no memory of the crash.Everyone in this story is telling themselves a version of the truth that helps them survive. The families grieve by casting Shirilla as a villain — because if she's not, there's no one to blame and no narrative to make sense of the loss. Shirilla tells herself she doesn't remember. The prosecutor tells himself the surveillance footage proves intent. But the footage shows a car — not the mind of the driver. And the medical evidence that might have complicated the conviction — a neurologist's conclusion that her symptoms were consistent with a seizure episode — was blocked from court because a legal filing arrived one day after Ohio's deadline.This episode doesn't absolve Mackenzie Shirilla. It doesn't condemn her either. It examines the gap between what we can prove and what we want to believe, and why those two things are so far apart in this case. Two families are shattered. A young woman won't see a parole hearing until 2037. And the question at the center of all of it — what was she thinking at five-thirty in the morning on July 31st, 2022 — is one that nobody can answer. Not even her.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Join us for this incredible conversation as Reid shares his personal origin story of becoming the queer polyamorous slut that he is today. He also takes us behind the scenes into his journey of becoming a sex educator, and how his work was often inspired by his own need to learn and figure out how to do sex and relationships in a better way. And… Along the way we uncover a ton of tips, tricks, and wisdom that Reid has learned over the years and how he uses the tools he teaches to improve his own life and relationships.  As seen on NETFLIX' "Chelsea Does..." alongside Chelsea Handler, Reid Mihalko (he/him) of ReidAboutSex.com is an internationally known sex and relationship geek who helps adults create more self-esteem, self-confidence, and greater health and accountability in their relationships and sex lives using an inspiring mixture of humor, personal stories, keen insight, and comprehensive sexual health information.  In early 2018, some very brave people came forward during #MeToo sharing harms that Reid had caused them. Reid stepped down from teaching and initiated a restorative justice-based accountability process to address his misconduct and make amends if and where possible. The formal, year-long process along with Reid's apology and resources were shared publicly and can be found at TinyURL.com/reidaccountability. Going forward, Reid's projects and appearances will include pointing people towards resources and experts on restorative and transformative justice-based accountability processes. Reid's workshops and college lectures have been attended by over 60,000 people from all over the globe.

Welcome back! This week the ladies review The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna. It is a cozy fantasy novel about Mika Moon, a lonely witch who must hide her magic but is recruited to teach three young witches at a mysterious house called Nowhere House, leading her to find a found family and a slow-burn romance with the prickly librarian, Jamie, while navigating the challenges of their secret society and a potential threat to their home.

Five days after the South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously overturned Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions, his defense team filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill. Seventeen pages. Section 1983. Six hundred thousand dollars in damages directed to the receivership. Jim Griffin said publicly the money isn't the point — the subpoena power is. Depositions. Sworn testimony. The ability to ask questions under oath that the state never bothered to ask.The Supreme Court ruled Hill put "her fingers on the scales of justice." The state prosecutor who handled Hill's criminal case said there wasn't enough evidence to charge her with jury tampering — four months before the Supreme Court ruled that's exactly what happened. The defense argues the state never treated Hill's conduct as the constitutional violation it was. This federal suit is designed to go where the state wouldn't.Eric Faddis breaks down what a Section 1983 claim requires — why it's typically aimed at law enforcement rather than a court clerk, what Murdaugh's team has to prove, and what civil discovery opens up that the criminal process never did. He explains why Griffin emphasized that no recovered funds go to Murdaugh personally — everything flows to the receivership.The broader question is why the retrial matters at all. Murdaugh is 57 and serving 40 years federal — he's never leaving prison regardless. But Maggie Murdaugh was 52 and Paul Murdaugh was 22. They were shot to death on their family's property, and as of the Supreme Court's ruling, nobody stands convicted of killing them. The guilty verdicts are erased. The life sentences are vacated. A financial crimes sentence is not a murder conviction by proxy.

Alex Murdaugh is 57. He's serving 40 years federal. He's never getting out. So why spend millions on a retrial?Because Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul Murdaugh was 22. They were shot to death on their family's property. And right now, nobody stands convicted of killing them. The guilty verdicts are erased. The life sentences are vacated. Not because the evidence wasn't there — because an elected court clerk corrupted the process. A financial crimes sentence is not a murder conviction by proxy. Accepting it as one tells the families of Maggie and Paul that the question of who killed them doesn't matter enough to answer properly.Five days after the Supreme Court's unanimous reversal, Murdaugh's defense team sued Becky Hill in federal court. Seventeen pages. Section 1983. Six hundred thousand dollars in damages going to the receivership. Jim Griffin said the money isn't the point — the point is subpoena power, depositions, and dragging people under oath to answer what the state never asked. The Supreme Court ruled Hill put "her fingers on the scales of justice." The state prosecutor said there wasn't enough to charge her with jury tampering. Four months later, the Supreme Court said that's exactly what she did.Eric Faddis breaks down the lawsuit, what civil discovery gives the defense that the criminal process never did, and why Griffin stressed none of the money goes to Murdaugh personally. He explains what Section 1983 requires and whether the discovery could reveal Hill didn't act alone.Now the Attorney General is reportedly considering the death penalty. People Murdaugh stole from have said they'll testify again. The retrial isn't about adjusting a sentence he's already serving. It's about accountability for two people who were killed and a legal record that currently says nobody did it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! GOOD MORNING. The wind industry is not just getting bigger. It is getting smarter. And today … we have the proof. Let us start in India. SUZLON GROUP just crossed a milestone. Two gigawatts of wind orders … in a single Indian state. The latest deal … sixty-five turbines at three megawatts each for a company called SUNSURE ENERGY. SUNSURE is not a utility. It is an independent power producer building round-the-clock clean energy for data centers … electric vehicles … and heavy industry. Wind paired with solar and battery storage. Power that does not stop when the sun goes down. SUZLON is already building six hundred and sixty-four megawatts of additional commercial and industrial projects in the same region. And SUNSURE … backed by PARTNERS GROUP of Switzerland … has seven gigawatts in development across India with a target of ten gigawatts by two thousand thirty. That is not government-led. That is private capital chasing wind. Now … across the ocean to Africa. A Spanish company called NABRAWIND [NAH-brah-wind] just solved a problem that has plagued remote wind farms for years. How do you install a turbine when you cannot get a crane to the site? Their answer is a system called SKYLIFT. No heavy-lift cranes. None. A self-erecting tower combined with a blade installation tool they call the BLADERUNNER. They just put up a GOLDWIND six-megawatt turbine at a wind farm in NAMIBIA. And here is the part that changes the math. Traditional crane installation needs calm air. Six to eight meters per second. Maximum. NABRAWIND’s system works in fifteen meters per second sustained … with gusts up to twenty. That site blows hard. All the time. Which is exactly why they chose it. When complete … seven turbines … two hundred and thirty gigawatt-hours a year. About six percent of NAMIBIA’s entire electricity demand. NABRAWIND was acquired by Australia’s FORTESCUE last year as part of its industrial decarbonization push. So India is stacking private-sector wind orders. Africa is installing turbines without cranes. And in SOUTH DAKOTA … they are storing the wind itself. A California startup called ANTORA ENERGY just built a five-gigawatt-hour thermal battery at an ethanol plant in BIG STONE CITY. More than two hundred solid carbon blocks. When the wind blows at night and nobody needs the power … the blocks absorb cheap electricity and heat up. When the plant needs energy … the blocks release heat or generate electricity through special cells that capture light from superheated material. Think of it as a giant toaster oven battery. Full power expected by October. The plant’s president put it simply. Nobody has got a switch for the wind. It blows when it wants to blow. Now … down under. The AUSTRALIAN government just announced the biggest single expansion of its electricity grid. Nineteen renewable energy projects. Seven-point-eight gigawatts of generation. Seven-point-nine gigawatt-hours of battery storage. Seventeen billion dollars in private investment. Nineteen thousand construction jobs. Power for four million homes. Among the largest … RWE’s [arr-vay’s] THEODORE wind farm in QUEENSLAND. One-point-one gigawatts. Up to one hundred and seventy turbines. Three billion Australian dollars. RWE … the same company building offshore wind in England and Denmark … is now building onshore in AUSTRALIA. And the AUSTRALIAN government is not stopping. They just opened the next round of tenders. Another five gigawatts. Finally … JAPAN. Major contractor SHIMIZU [shee-MEE-zoo] CORPORATION has developed a way to recycle old wind turbine blades. Not into park benches. Not into landfill. Into steel. The blades are cut and crushed into a material that goes into electric furnaces to adjust the carbon content of steel … making it harder and stronger. JAPAN expects to replace one hundred to two hundred turbines a year by the two thousand thirties. That is two to three thousand tonnes of blade waste. Annually. SHIMIZU has built about twenty percent of the wind power facilities in JAPAN. They see this technology as a way to grow their entire wind energy business. So … let us step back. India stacks two gigawatts of private-sector wind orders. Africa installs turbines in gale-force winds … without a crane. South Dakota stores surplus wind in superheated carbon blocks. Australia backs nineteen projects with seventeen billion dollars. And Japan turns old blades into stronger steel. From the factory floor to the scrap yard … from the wind farm to the furnace … the industry is solving problems at every stage of a turbine’s life. And that's the state of the wind industry for the 25th of May 2026. Join us for the UPTIME WIND ENERGY PODCAST tomorrow.

Parents, are you keeping an eye on your teenagers who are now driving? Recent research from the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Hospital polled parents on the driving behaviors of their kids, and found that risky driving behaviors are quite common. Seventeen percent of parents have observed their kids engaging in what's called impaired driving, which includes driving while sleepy, emotionally upset, or after drinking alcohol or using marijuana. Twenty-five percent of parents have observed their kids engage in distracted driving, which includes texting and multi-tasking. This would include those who put on makeup while driving. Finally, forty-four percent of parents have observed their kids engaging in what's called aggressive driving, which includes speeding, tail-gating, and road rage. Parents, we encourage you to not only monitor your kids and how they drive so that you can intervene when necessary, to teach your kids that as with all things, they are to drive to the glory of God.

Seventeen-year-old Madison is a hopeless romantic who loves quoting Shakespeare and dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer—a dream she hides, afraid of disappointing her mom and her boyfriend. But when her dreams fall apart, she believes it's a sign from God that she should commit to her boyfriend and make a new dream. When she realizes God wouldn't give her a sign that points her to sin, the happily-ever-after she's planned crumbles. Now Madison must confront the lies she's told herself and all the red flags she's ignored.

Rubicon - Lyme disease Awareness Month Segment

A visually stunning, definitive tribute to rock's most enigmatic, enduring, and stylish icon, Stevie Nicks, written by New York Times bestselling music journalist Annie Zaleski.This beautifully illustrated book goes beyond the glitter and shawls to explore the raw artistry, resilience, and magic that define Stevie Nicks's five-decade career. From singing "Are You Mine" with her grandfather in Phoenix to becoming the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, Stevie's story is as sweeping and bold as her stage presence. Stevie Nicks in 50 Songs covers it all: her early musical roots, folk and country influences, first guitar at sixteen, and fateful harmony with Lindsey Buckingham on "California Dreamin'"-a moment that launched one of rock's most complicated partnerships. This is not just a music biography. It's a deep dive into Stevie's powerful songwriting and mythmaking. The book analyzes iconic tracks like "Rhiannon," inspired by Welsh mythology, "Landslide," written during a pivotal moment in her relationship with Buckingham, and "Stand Back," created with an uncredited synth assist from Prince. It covers breakout Fleetwood Mac hits like "Dreams" and "Gold Dust Woman," along with cult classics from the Buckingham Nicks era and her solo work, like "Edge of Seventeen." The book also offers surprising insights into her personal life: her friendships, her struggle with addiction, her political engagement, and advocacy work. Nick's unmatched fashion legacy shines through these pages, too. A dedicated section explores her famous shawls and capes, her di Fabrizio boots, the mystical Rumours look, and her real-life wardrobe inspirations. Beyond the music and style, Stevie Nicks in 50 Songs dives into the artist's cultural impact, like her pop mentorship of artists Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and more.Featuring rare photos, extensive track breakdowns, and revealing quotes, Stevie Nicks in 50 Songs is not just a celebration of a career. It's a celebration of a woman who twirled through heartbreak and fame and emerged bolder than ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

ON ADVENTURE PODCAST | EPISODE 71 Episode 71: Solo Female Travel, Real Risk, and the Belonging We All Crave with Amanda Black            Episode Description What does it actually take to step on a plane alone, head somewhere most people would call risky, and come home a different woman? Amanda Black is the founder of the Solo Female Traveler Network, a community of more than half a million women that started as a small Facebook group during her expat years in Australia. Ten years and roughly thirty tours a year later, she leads women into places the average traveler tends to avoid: Egypt, Morocco, India, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond. Bali was the first trip. Seventeen women signed up. Nine of them ended up with the company logo tattooed by the end of it. We talk about why she leans into destinations perceived as less safe, what real risk actually looks like versus the version we imagine, and why she pushes back on the idea that travel is simply safe or unsafe. Risk, she argues, is a spectrum and a muscle, and most women have a lot more capacity to build it than they have been told. We also get into the quieter side of all this. The cobblestone cafe in Sighișoara, Romania, where women who had known each other only a few days started telling the truth about how lonely life back home really feels. The Golden Eagle Festival in Mongolia, where she felt like she had walked into a movie set with no electricity. The unexpected pattern she keeps noticing across every trip, every country, every group: people are not really upset about the hotel room. They want to belong. Amanda also shares why she launched Kindred Community, a smaller, slower offering built around connection retreats in Southern California, and what almost a decade of leading women into the wild has taught her about courage, capability, and the kind of friendships that get a logo tattooed on someone's wrist.

Erica Smith is an award-winning sexuality educator, advocate, and author from rural Pennsylvania, where she grew up casually Christian, went to public school, learned sex ed from a gym teacher, and somehow became the most responsible teenage sexual health nerd with birth control, condoms, spermicide, and library books before having sex for the first time. In this episode we talk about purity culture, religious sexual shame, high-control groups, Christian nationalism, marital consent, "duty sex," the pressure placed on both women and men in evangelical purity teachings, and why healing from purity culture is not just about learning sex ed, but reconnecting to your body, your signals, your autonomy, and your right to desire without fear.

Seventeen-year-old German adventurer Mike Mansholt arrived in Malta in July 2016 for his first solo trip. After a week with his girlfriend, he stayed on alone, rented a mountain bike in Sliema on 18 July, sent a cheerful voice message home, and pedalled off to explore. He was never seen alive again. Days later searchers found his body lying peacefully in a small, sheltered rock hollow thirty metres below the Dingli Cliffs, with his bike and shoes nearby but his backpack, phone, and GoPro missing. When the sealed zinc coffin reached Germany, the remains weighed only sixteen kilograms and showed no signs of embalming. A second autopsy revealed nearly all internal organs were gone. Maltese officials called it an accidental fall with the organs lost to animals and heat; German investigators found the explanation implausible, ruled out a high-impact fall, and could not exclude third-party involvement. Ten years on, the backpack, GoPro, and organs have never been recovered, and the case remains open with conflicting accounts between the two countries.   Branch of Hope: Caroline's Rainbow Foundation is a UK-registered charity founded in 2002 by the family of Caroline Ann Stuttle, a young British traveler who tragically lost her life while on a gap year in Australia. For more than twenty years, the organization has focused on promoting safer independent travel for young people and backpackers. It offers free educational resources, safety workshops, school presentations, and practical guides that help gap-year students and first-time adventurers prepare responsibly and stay safe on the road. While the foundation now serves primarily as a lasting information archive, its materials remain freely available and continue to support thousands of young travelers each year.   Sources: Mysterious death of 17-year-old Mike Mansholt, catacombs Dingli Cliffs, Malta - 26 July, 2016.

Seventeen-year-old Brittanee Drexel thought a secret spring break trip to Myrtle Beach would give her a taste of freedom. Instead, she vanished after a brief walk alone and would not be found for 13 years.In Deadly Spring Break: What Happened to Brittanee?, Dr. Phil examines the final hours before Brittanee disappeared, the emotional vulnerability that left her isolated from her group, and the narrow window predators need to strike. He breaks down the psychology of teenage risk-taking, why her disappearance may have been underestimated at first, and how early assumptions in missing-person cases can shape an entire investigation.As investigators chase phone records, witness accounts, and disturbing jailhouse claims, Dr. Phil analyzes the behavior, blind spots, and heartbreaking uncertainty that surrounded one of the most haunting spring break disappearances in America.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that made the United States a representative democracy for the first time. Seventeen years after it passed, a young John Roberts joined the Department of Justice and reportedly began what Hawk describes as a 42-year project to undermine Black voting rights and eliminate proportional Black representation in the House of Representatives. Roberts climbed from DOJ attorney to federal judge to Supreme Court Justice to Chief Justice of the United States. Hawk argues that every step of that career was guided by a singular purpose: stripping Black Americans of their constitutional right to vote and their right to fair representation in Congress. That goal, according to Hawk, was accomplished within the past week. Hawk reflects on growing up in rural Ohio and how easily he could have turned out differently, using that contrast to highlight what he sees as the deliberate, career-long racism embedded in Roberts' judicial record.

What if the worst diagnosis of your life became the greatest gift you've ever received? When Glenn Sturm got the call at an airport in 2009 telling him he had an aggressive, incurable form of T-cell lymphoma, everything should have stopped. Instead, something unexpected happened — his perspective shifted. Rather than letting cancer define him, Glenn made a decision: he would celebrate life every single day and make someone else's life better whenever he could. Seventeen years later, still undergoing treatment, Glenn isn't just surviving — he's living with purpose, gratitude, and a commitment to serving others. This conversation explores what it looks like to choose growth over fear, purpose over pain, and why sometimes the hardest moments in life can open the door to everything you were too busy to see before. Guest Bio Glenn Sturm is a 17-year cancer survivor, four-time bestselling author, and former attorney with over 30 years of military service. A University of Florida law graduate (honors, Order of the Coif), Glenn built a highly successful legal and business career before being diagnosed in 2009 with advanced T-cell lymphoma. Since then, he has undergone continuous treatment while reinventing his life around purpose, service, and creativity. He is the author of Cancer Set Me Free, an advocate for multidisciplinary cancer care, and an accomplished photographer whose work supports charitable causes. Glenn is known for his powerful message on resilience, perspective, and living life fully — no matter the circumstances.
