Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Godzilla Redux” kicks off with not one but two “gatekeepers” in the kaiju fandom: Jack “GMan” Hudgens and Elijah Thomas (Kaiju Conversation). They along with Nate spend nearly four hours(!) talking about why they effing love the final Showa series film, Terror of Mechagodzilla. It was Nate and Elijah's first G-film and is one of Jack's perennial favorites. While many regard it as Ishiro Honda's weakest Godzilla film and barely give it more credit than the rest of the 1970s G-films, your hosts unpack a laundry list of deep themes and potent symbols. They sing the praises of the wonderful script by Yukiko Takayama (the only woman to write a full Godzilla screenplay), the exciting explosions of Teruyoshi Nakano (who considered this some of his best work), the grossly underrated kaiju Titanosaurus, and the nuanced performance of Akihiko Hirata as Dr. Mafune, among many other things. No stone is left unturned in this epic discussion! Then in the most entertaining Patreon shout-outs segment ever of all time, a certain Mr. Trump (by way of Elijah) appears….

What if a Showa-era Japan crossed dimensions, crushed modern tech, and censored every spark of otaku culture—then discovered passion could still punch back? We dive into Rumble Garandoll's high-concept world where mechs run on shared enthusiasm and rebellion wears a chibi smile. The premise lands fast: Ginbu gas shuts down conventional weapons, the True Army puppets the state, and anime, idols, and games move underground. In that pressure cooker, style becomes strategy and fandom becomes fuel.We follow Hosomichi, a smooth talker hiding his love for a “failed” mecha classic his father produced. That family shadow reframes his distance as protection, not apathy, and his near-heist with Munakata tests whether he'll cash out or commit. The Battery Girls—Reen the anime diehard, Yuki the last idol with teeth, and Misa the shut-in hacker—turn the cockpit into a trust exercise. Sync equals strength; misalignment breaks metal and hearts. A sharp twist with Yamada and Mimi hammers the cost of being out of tune, converting emotional static into literal damage on the field.We break down the animal-themed Garandoll designs, the punchy music cues, and the way cute projections offset real stakes without draining them. We also call out what's missing: with only twelve episodes, the True Army feels capable but thin, and a charged bond between Reen and Hayate needed more time to smolder before the reveal. Still, the show's core idea sings—culture isn't fluff, it's power. Songs, shows, and games carry memory and meaning, and in this story they power a fight for identity one synced heartbeat at a time.Hit play to hear our full take, from standout moments to the 8.5 score and the case for a longer run.

The crew stumbles back into the tunnel this week because apparently this show still has legs.On this episode, they tackle the hard questions. Like which Detroit City FC players would survive a Winter Olympics crossover. Bobsled? Curling? Speed skating? The scouting reports are questionable and the confidence is high.They also ask whether we should actually be impressed with what the men's side did this offseason. Is this real progress or are the preseason friendlies a precursor for another milquetoast offensive strategy combined with problems on the backline? The roster moves and early performances get picked apart accordingly.The women's MASLW season gets real attention too, including how the squad is shaping up and why the supporters continue to show up in ways that matter. That includes meaningful charity work to support immigrants in the community.And yes, there is some frustration over the MASLW's reluctance to give credit where it is due. Tunnel chaos. Mild outrage. Winter sports takes no one requested. Same energy as always.⸻

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Sr. Ilia Delio speaks with Nicholas Hedlund, PhD—a philosopher, metatheorist, and contemplative practitioner whose work explores spirituality, science, and worldview transformation.Ilia begins with the simple question: What is metatheory? Nick traces the thread that drew him into big-picture thinking—an early dissatisfaction with surface-level responses to ecological crisis, and a deeper inquiry into root causes: who we take ourselves to be, what we take the natural world to be, and how our relationship to the sacred shapes the world we build. Together, Ilia and Nick explore the metacrisis (or polycrisis) as more than a collection of competing emergencies. ABOUT NICHOLAS HEDLUND“Humanity is not suffering from a crisis of information but a crisis of integration.”Nicholas Hedlund, Ph.D., is a philosopher, metatheorist, and contemplative practitioner whose work explores the intersection of spirituality, science, and worldview transformation. He is the director of Eudaimonia Institute and director of research at the Institute for Applied Metatheory, and serves as Editor-in-Chief of Integration: The Journal of Big Picture Theory and Practice.Nicholas developed visionary realism, an integrative philosophical framework drawing from critical realism, integral theory, and complexity science to illuminate deeper structures of reality and help navigate the global metacrisis. He earned his Ph.D. from University College London, where he studied under Roy Bhaskar and Arthur Petersen, and he was also an exchange scholar at Yale University.He is the author and editor of Metatheory for the Twenty-First Century and Big Picture Perspectives on Planetary Flourishing, and his work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Zygon and Environmental Science & Policy. He is currently completing two new books further developing visionary realism and its implications for civilizational transformation.Alongside his scholarly work, Nicholas is an APPA-certified philosophical counselor and a spiritual director-in-training, supporting individuals in exploring meaning, inner transformation, and spiritual experience. A long-time contemplative practitioner and musician, he is deeply interested in the resonance between sound, consciousness, and human evolution.Nicholas teaches in the Integral Noetic Sciences Department at the California Institute for Human Science, offering courses in integral philosophy, consciousness studiesOn March 17, the Center for Christogenesis welcomes back the Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining for a webinar on Trauma, Transformation, and Christ-Wholeness.

The crew somehow makes it to the tunnel for the 200th time and celebrates 200 episodes of Tunnel Talk in the most on brand way possible. There is food talk, specifically hamburgers, because of course there is. Old friends drop back in, memories from the last 200 episodes get dragged back out, and the crew spends a good amount of time laughing at how this show even still exists.Somewhere in between all of that, there is also discussion of Detroit City FC. Not a ton, but enough to stay on brand. Tunnel chaos, nostalgia, side quests, and just enough soccer to remind everyone why this started in the first place.⸻

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Sr. Ilia Delio continues her conversation with Abre Fournier, PhD—a science-based philosopher of consciousness whose work bridges contemporary cognitive science with Asian contemplative traditions and practices of mind transformation.Picking up their inquiry into what is meant by “the self,” Ilia and Abre turn to childhood development and the social shaping of identity. Abre draws on figures like Jean Piaget and Donald Winnicott to describe how the “me/not-me” distinction emerges over time through relationship, culture, and the formative environment of family and education. This raises a deeper question: if selfhood is an emergent, relational process, should we even keep the word self? Abre proposes selfing—self as a dynamical activity rather than a fixed thing.The conversation widens to politics, education, and the pressures facing the humanities today, asking how modern notions of autonomy can fracture our collective life. Finally, Abre introduces the metamind: a planetary intelligence taking shape through recursive coupling across human, cultural, and technological processes. In the age of the internet and AI, what might it mean for collective intelligence to become aware of itself? How can we participate consciously in transformation, not merely information flow?ABOUT ABRE FOURNIER“Can we as human beings really understand what it would mean to have a conscious experience without a sense of self?” Abre G. Fournier, PhD, is a science-based philosopher of consciousness with a focus on mind transformation, bridging the advancements of contemporary cognitive sciences with teachings and practices from Asian philosophies centered on states of awakened awareness. Her work synthesizes insights from evolutionary biology, dynamical systems, embodied cognition, and advanced intelligence to articulate the rise of a new dimension of planetary mind. Her international work in facilitating consciousness evolution offers vital insights for philosophers and scientists investigating the complexities and transformation of human consciousness, as well as for professionals and practitioners engaged in transformative practices. She has also been active in the arts and higher education, with academic and executive roles at the State University of New York (SUNY). Her work as a practicing artist in films and new-media collaborations with musicians and composers has been shown in art museums and galleries, film festivals, and live concerts in the US and abroad. Originally from France, Abre lives in the New York metropolitan area.Support the showA huge thank you to all of you who subscribe and support our show!

Od estrade idemo pravo u dramu i pitamo se zašto se Javni servis u zvaničnom saopštenju pravda Informeru zbog scenarija humorističke serije "Radio Mileva". I usred svega toga, naš Nenad je zbog jedne izjave o propalom Ćacilendu postao zvezda Informerovog izveštavanja o "zlu koje vide tajkunski mediji". Plus: masovno gašenje Instagram naloga, misteriozni pank bend Vladimira Orlića, sneg koji nas je (opet) iznenadio u januaru i Trampov plan za kupovinu Grenlanda. Vežite se, polećemo! ► Posetite naš NJUZ SHOP i pronađite omiljene majice, šolje i magnete! Zahvaljujući našim prijateljima iz D Express, poštarina na teritoriji Srbije je POTPUNO BESPLATNA!

Send us a textWe are in a moment of huge transformation on this planet, both personal and global. But are we evolving? Our world doesn't look like it. Humans have become pawns for authoritarian leaders. Who promote an escalating cycle of violence against people and nature. Resulting in an imbalance that reclaims any sovereignty we had as human beings. And it's showing up on every continent, and from the planet itself. Our response to life is directly related to our thoughts and emotions. Because we're all powerful manifestors. However, when there is no accountability for what's been created. People go down rabbit holes and get lost. Is this where we are? Lost without purpose. Dealing with things we've created that we forgot have power.This episode explores how human evolution is delayed, when fear becomes a virus programming a disconnect from the sacred self and others. We review the affects of a patriarchal system that's pushed our species into a human amnesia. Finally, we examine where we'll find our personal allies. To assist us in refocusing our thoughts…to strengthen the collective light we need to bring about change.To Support the production of Heart Sense please use the following Link. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1888298/support    Music by Robin MillerNew Horizons CDSongs:  Dawn's Passing, Bells of Romance    www.robinmillermusic.comSponsors for this episode:  Skinplicity at Revive Website: www.skinplicityatrevive.com.                                                                                        Email: skinplicityatrevive@gmail.com203 S Candy Ln, 9B Cottonwood, Az. 86326                                                                                  Phone: 928.514.6120Sedona's New Day Spa3004 W State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZsedonanewday.com928.282.7502The Copper Heart Art for Heart SenseArtist Catherine StefanavageWebsite:  iamcatherine.comEmail: iamcatherine16@gmail.com  Support the showA huge Thank You to all our Sponsors!

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Sr. Ilia Delio speaks with Abre G. Fournier, PhD—a science-based philosopher of consciousness whose work bridges contemporary cognitive science with Asian contemplative traditions and practices of mind transformation.Abre shares the personal journey that shaped her research: years of intensive contemplative practice, an encounter with what she describes as “awakened awareness,” and a profound, lasting shift in the sense of self that led her to investigate how transformation actually works in lived experience. Together, Ilia and Abre explore enduring questions at the heart of consciousness studies: what we experience as the self, how mind and consciousness differ, and what contemporary science can (and cannot yet) reveal about these mysteries. Abre draws from philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and embodied and extended mind research to reframe selfhood as relational, interactive, and dynamically formed rather than fixed and isolated.ABOUT ABRE FOURNIER“Can we as human beings really understand what it would mean to have a conscious experience without a sense of self?” Abre G. Fournier, PhD, is a science-based philosopher of consciousness with a focus on mind transformation, bridging the advancements of contemporary cognitive sciences with teachings and practices from Asian philosophies centered on states of awakened awareness. Her work synthesizes insights from evolutionary biology, dynamical systems, embodied cognition, and advanced intelligence to articulate the rise of a new dimension of planetary mind. Her international work in facilitating consciousness evolution offers vital insights for philosophers and scientists investigating the complexities and transformation of human consciousness, as well as for professionals and practitioners engaged in transformative practices. She has also been active in the arts and higher education, with academic and executive roles at the State University of New York (SUNY). Her work as a practicing artist in films and new-media collaborations with musicians and composers has been shown in art museums and galleries, film festivals, and live concerts in the US and abroad. Originally from France, Abre lives in the New York metropolitan area.Support the showA huge thank you to all of you who subscribe and support our show!

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Robert Nicastro welcomes listeners back into Sr. Ilia Delio's conversation with biophysicist and technologist Gregory Stock. Last time, Greg raised a profound question: how will AI shape two enduring human longings—love and immortality? In this second part, Ilia and Greg return to the theme of immortality, exploring not only what it might mean for individuals, but what it could mean for the human species as a whole.As the conversation unfolds, the focus widens from personal hopes to public consequences. Technology has often promised abundance, comfort, and control. Nevertheless, who actually benefits when those promises arrive? Ilia presses into the economics of AI, asking whether it will become a first-world luxury or something that can genuinely serve the common good.Later, the dialogue turns toward a civic question that is increasingly difficult to avoid: Are our social structures and our governments prepared for the realities of AI? Greg shares his hopes for the future and the aims of his new book, Generation AI and the Transformation of Human Being.ABOUT GREGORY STOCK“The greatest frontier in human evolution may no longer lie outside us, but inside: in the choices — and designs — we make for ourselves.”Gregory Stock, Ph.D., is a scientist, writer, entrepreneur, and public communicator whose work represents a deep exploration into what it means to be human in the 21st century. During his career, he has developed the foremost paradigm for personal inquiries into values and beliefs, which has significant implications for humankind as it faces the profound shifts brought by silicon and biotech. Today, Greg serves as an expert speaker and advisor to biotech and healthcare companies and to non-profits at the cutting edge of human health. The Center for Christogenesis is in the midst of our Winter Fundraiser as we celebrate ten years of exploring faith, science, and the promise of a new future.
