Rhyen Staley, father, longtime coach and educator, and Director of Research at Defending Education, joins The Steve Gruber Show to expose what he calls the radical pipeline turning America's teachers into activists. Staley breaks down how educational programs, curriculum choices, and professional development are increasingly encouraging political advocacy in schools, often at the expense of core teaching and student learning. He also discusses the broader cultural and societal impact of this trend, why parents should be vigilant, and what educators, policymakers, and communities can do to reclaim education for its intended purpose, preparing students, not promoting ideology.

Today, Ceri speaks the extraordinary Memo Akten — artist, researcher, computer scientist. For more than a decade, he has worked with emerging technologies, AI, Big Data, and our Collective Consciousness as scraped and shaped by the internet, to explore consciousness, perception, ecology and the politics of our techno-lifestyles. He won the Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica, became Google's first artist-in-residence in their Artists & Machine Intelligence programme, and has exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Tribeca, the Barbican, ACMI, Mori Art Museum, and the Academy Museum in LA. His collaborations span U2, Lenny Kravitz, Depeche Mode, Max Cooper, Richard Dawkins, Google, Apple and McLaren. KEY TAKEAWAYS Technology is never neutral. It shapes us as much as we shape it. Memo reminds us that behind every dataset is a culture, behind every model is a worldview, and behind every technological leap is a chain of ecological, political and emotional consequences. The world can only meet your ideas if you let them out of hiding. Memo's story is a masterclass in releasing the work before you feel ready. If you are wrestling your way through a project remember - the destination is just the documentary still. Gathering the threads that eventually become something whole is where the real art is. BEST MOMENTS “We can use technology to understand ourselves more deeply, to pay attention to the world more carefully, and to ask bigger, braver questions.” “I very rarely begin a project with an end goal of this is what it should look like, in mind. I usually begin with this is how I want it to behave.” AN UNMISSABLE OFFER If the art world feels confusing, you're not imagining it.

In this week's episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we sit down with one of the most quietly influential craftsmen in modern surfing: Ian Byrne, master surfboard shaper, designer, and the visionary behind some of the equipment trusted by surfers around the world. Known for his deep respect for tradition and his relentless drive to refine the feel of a surfboard under the feet of everyday surfers, Ian has built a career grounded in precision, humility, and an authentic love for the craft. Across our conversation, Ian takes us on a journey from his early days learning the fundamentals of shaping to his evolution into a respected figure in the shaping community. He shares insights into what truly defines a great board, the fine balance between performance and accessibility, and why every board, whether a high-performance shortboard or a playful twin carries the imprint of the surfer it's made for. We explore the shaping philosophies that guide his work today: the importance of hand-foiling, the role of intuition, and the ongoing dance between tradition and technological advancement. Ian reflects on the lessons learned from years spent in shaping bays around the world, and how various coastlines, breaks, and surf cultures have influenced his approach to design. He also dives into sustainability, discussing how shapers can push toward more responsible materials and smarter production processes, without compromising quality or performance. For those fascinated by surfboard design, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a shaper who deeply understands how subtle changes,  a rail tucked a little differently, a fin placement adjusted a few millimeters, a rocker line re-imagined can transform an entire surfing experience. For surfers simply looking to better connect with their equipment, Ian offers thoughtful guidance on how to choose the right board, how to communicate with your shaper, and what it really means to find a board that "matches your surfing." We also speak about the current state of the surf industry: the pressures on hand shapers, the impact of machine shaping, and the rise of boutique brands that are pushing creativity forward. Ian's perspective is refreshingly grounded — honoring the past, embracing the present, and remaining optimistic about the future of surf craft. Whether you're a seasoned surfer, a board collector, a design nerd, or someone discovering the beauty of surf craft for the first time, Ian Byrne's story is a reminder that behind every great wave ridden, there is a board and behind every great board, there is a shaper with passion, patience, and a willingness to chase perfection one curve at a time. Tune in to hear a conversation that celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and the timeless relationship between surfer and shaper. Another inspiring episode from The Temple of Surf.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – For Christians, seekers, or anyone longing for real spiritual connection: this isn't just a tech novelty. It raises heavy questions about the nature of guidance, of accountability, of truth. When your spiritual hunger is routed through an algorithm, you lose community, tradition, human empathy — sometimes even the possibility of moral responsibility...

Most men don’t realize how much of their life is shaped by the people around them.Not by Scripture.Not by conviction.But by pressure, expectations, and the steady pull to fit in.So let me ask you:Who is calling the shots in your life when you’re not thinking about it?Whose approval affects the way you speak, act, or stay silent?And how much of your faith is something you live—versus something you set aside when it feels inconvenient?In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow expose the outside influences that quietly redirect men every day. They talk about how subtle pressure erodes conviction, why so many Christians adjust their faith depending on the setting, and what it looks like to finally stand firm with clarity and purpose.Before you can answer what you believe, you have to understand what’s been shaping you.If you're ready for a direct, honest conversation, this one matters.

At over 200 years old, the Monroe Doctrine is one of the longest lasting attempts to craft foreign policy for our country.  Declared in 1823 by President James Monroe, it laid the framework for the relationship between the United States and the Western Hemisphere.  But why was it so important?  What details did it address?  How is it relevant today and is it actually enforced?  To discuss this seminal foreign policy doctrine, we are welcoming two guests: Kirk Higgins is the Vice President of Content at the Bill of Rights Institute and Jim Pinkerton is a Senior Fellow at Center for American Prosperity at the America First Policy Institute, author and commentator.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Sports shape American culture by uniting communities, defining identity, and reflecting shared values. They inspire pride and belonging while also revealing deeper social tensions. From historic moments of progress to modern debates over politics and gambling, sports remain a powerful force that mirrors who we are and challenges how we navigate unity, conflict, and integrity...

Health clubs and aerobics were all the rage in the early 80s, thanks to Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons.  Eventually, this trend was bound to hit scripted television.  It did, in comedic form with Leslie Nielsen playing a former health show host turned health club owner.  Alas, this show didn't pump up the viewership and its membership was cancelled after just 5 episodes.

What does it mean to raise a family while also serving your country?In this episode of The Unaparent, Katia sits down with Senator Ruben Gallego and his wife, Sydney Gallego, for a conversation that goes far beyond politics. They talk candidly about the realities of parenting three young children while navigating the demands of public life.From breaking cycles of fatherhood to confronting the maternal health crisis, Senator Gallego shares how personal experiences have informed his legislative priorities—including the Dads Matter Act and postpartum Medicaid expansion. Sydney brings her own insights as a maternal health advocate and mother navigating the emotional terrain of postpartum identity and civic engagement.In a country where gun violence is rampant, childcare is out of reach for many, and parental support remains a luxury instead of a given, this episode serves as a welcome reminder that some elected officials are fighting to change that. It's a reflection of how public service, at its best, begins at home. Because sometimes, being a good parent is one of the most radical and impactful forms of leadership.

No matter where you live in the U.S., you've probably heard stories — or have your own — about not being able to afford to live. The couple in their 30s that can't buy a home. The 20-something who can't afford rent without living with several roommates. The family of five who feel pinched every time they visit the grocery store. The retiree struggling to pay their health insurance premium.Whatever the situation, these stories are becoming central to how Americans are experiencing the economy. And this feeling is shaping politics.A CBS poll from October suggests inflation and the economy are now the top concern among Americans. According to the Urban Institute, 52 percent of U.S. families don't have the resources to cover what it costs to live. The average monthly cost of groceries has also risen 32 percent since 2019.What do when we mean when we say something is “affordable?” And how do we achieve that goal when the target keeps moving?Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend. From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations. One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace. His name was Meir Dagan. Not only did his leadership provide Israel and allies like the United States with the means to stop conflict, but his work and ideas also helped reshape how the world gathers and uses intelligence. His story is just now being made known. Samuel Katz, a New York Times bestselling author, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the Mossad's incredible history and his new book, a biography of Meir Dagan titled 'The Architect of Espionage'.

Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend. From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations. One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace. His name was Meir Dagan. Not only did his leadership provide Israel and allies like the United States with the means to stop conflict, but his work and ideas also helped reshape how the world gathers and uses intelligence. His story is just now being made known. Samuel Katz, a New York Times bestselling author, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the Mossad's incredible history and his new book, a biography of Meir Dagan titled 'The Architect of Espionage'.

Episode Notes David Leblang, Director of Policy Studies at the Miller Center, analyzes how the Center has remained a nonpartisan institution during a particularly divisive time in politics. He delves into the various programs, events, and policy proposals associated with the Center, and how they are making an impact at UVA and beyond.

Zoe Booth speaks with Gerard Holland, CEO of the Page Research Centre and a founding member of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. Together they explore how foreign funding is shaping Australia's energy policy, what's driving the rising cost of living, and why ideological commitments to renewables may be undermining the country's economic and strategic resilience. Holland argues that Australia's transition to green energy has been distorted by international interests, bad economics, and an aversion to politically unpopular technologies like nuclear power. Drawing on original research submitted to a federal Senate inquiry, he makes the case for a return to energy realism—and warns that unless we regain control of our policy decisions, Australia's prosperity and security may be at risk.

Join the host on Right On Radio for a wide-ranging Friday episode that begins with Thanksgiving reflections, the show's Word on Word segment (1 Chronicles 16:8 vs. Proverbs 31:28–29), and a musical nod before diving into hard-hitting news and commentary. The episode opens with breaking coverage of a reported anti-corruption probe tied to President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration: searches of senior offices, allegations centered on the Energia Atom energy sector, the role of ally Timur Mindich, and broader claims about widespread skimming of foreign aid. The host analyzes Sky News reporting and offers context and commentary about how the scandal could affect negotiations and ceasefire discussions. Shifting to U.S. domestic developments, the program covers the recent attack on two National Guard members, updates on the victims, and reporting that connects the suspected shooter to refugee resettlement. The host discusses alleged pre-attack online searches traced to foreign IPs, references to the Charlie Kirk shooting, and federal responses including troop deployments to Washington, D.C. President Trump's recent statements on immigration, tax policy and national security are reviewed and critiqued. The show also examines the role of intelligence agencies and transnational crime: a featured interview excerpt with Laura Logan and former CIA operations officer Gary Bernstein explores election interference, U.S. activity near Venezuela, and claims that large criminal networks there may rival state intelligence capabilities. The host lays out a view of the CIA and FBI as powerful actors within a global hierarchy. Listeners will hear concerns about surveillance and biometric data after a segment on school photography companies (LifeTouch), ownership by major asset managers, and how large photo databases could be used to train facial recognition systems. The episode links this to broader worries about tech, privacy and the so-called Genesis mission referenced by the host. The host also speaks personally about a paid course he's released—its goals, structure and reception—encouraging listeners on how to approach the material, and announces a Saturday night prayer meeting and brief weekend schedule changes. Throughout, he intersperses political analysis with spiritual themes and references to scripture. To close, the show lightens up with music recommendations (including an 80s toe-tapper by a Canadian band and a later Jimmy Cliff clip), invites listeners to community engagement, and promises more reporting and specials in upcoming episodes.

Part 1: After Charlie Kirk's assassination shocks the nation, a powerful disinformation machine unleashes a wave of hate, conspiracies, and manufactured outrage. If you've ever wondered why the country feels more divided, more angry, and more easily manipulated, this episode will change the way you understand modern influence. Behavior science expert Chase Hughes joins Dr. Phil for a powerful breakdown of how modern Americans are being conditioned psychologically, neurologically, and emotionally by systems designed to divide and control. Drawing from the same behavioral frameworks he teaches to elite military units and intelligence operatives, Chase explains how outrage, tribal identity, and manufactured division are not political accidents but psychological operations rooted in decades of influence research. Dr. Phil unpacks the neurology behind these tactics how the amygdala, reward centers, and subcortical systems are hijacked by media, algorithms, and curated conflict. Together, they trace the evolution of mass manipulation from early propaganda and MKUltra to Operation Mockingbird and today's algorithm-driven radicalization loops.

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8)  "Insight drops in when we create space. Possibility reveals itself when we stop pushing." In this episode, we welcome in the Weaver Connector — the feminine leadership archetype who sees the patterns, possibilities, and connections that open pathways for wisdom, insight, and co-creation. She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what resonates...  "I see the connections between people, possibilities, and things. I make connections others don't always see. I move through the world best when I'm connecting with others — and connecting others with each other. Part of my creative power and success comes from my ability to connect with those I'm truly here to connect with." (Full transmission in episode & on website here.) Why this matters now We live in a world that glorifies productivity, speed, metrics, and constant output — and undervalues the relational and creative "fields" and "invisible" work that actually makes meaningful results possible. The Weaver Connector illuminates that nothing meaningful is created alone. Insight, timing, synchronicity, and possibility arise when we create from spacious presence, resonance, and connection — not force, toxic pressure, or over-efforting. We'll explore: • Intuitive superpower of Weaver Connector — pattern-seeing and the "overview channel." • Power Spectrum of Connection Competition that rises us into Conscious Collaboration  • Resonance as a compass for discerning aligned - and mis-aligned - collaborations. • Relational + creative energy fields - how they work and what's needed to bring synchronicity, insight, and opportunity into form. • Tender spots & "love cracks" that make us resist or chase connection and our desires   • Cultivating your web of connection + support for sustainable, easeful creation.
