Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

The federal government recently announced the Major Projects Office and Build Canada Homes agencies designed to administer funds and accelerate infrastructure—but will they streamline or weigh down progress with bureaucracy? Riccardo, Melissa Di Marco, and David Ho pull up chairs to a roundtable discussion of this timely and complex topic. In this episode of Uncharted Conversations, they explore the often default solution of agency development when issues arise and whether those at the helm are genuinely equipped to solve these particular problems. Questions of risk aversion and fragmented decision-making prompt skepticism from both private infrastructure bodies and Canadian citizens. The three seasoned experts unpack the structural and political realities that influence how agencies perform, reflecting on past examples, and consider whether the present country-wide urgency might push leaders to act differently this time.The conversation poses an essential question: Are these agencies being created to lead, or just to manage? Infrastructure in Canada today faces overlapping jurisdictions, unclear mandates, and high public expectation. Success will depend on more than just good intentions—it will require clarity of purpose, empowered leadership, and swift execution within a narrowing window of opportunity.Key TakeawaysThe challenge of clearly defining what problem an agency is meant to solve;How funding concerns can block and distract from forward progress;The sometimes murky relationship between provincial and federal in major programme delivery;The risk of adding bureaucracy instead of leadership in moments of urgency;The opportunity for optimism in the face of Canada's infrastructure crisis.Quote:“I think if somebody tried to create a new version of a provincial infrastructure agency today [like Infrastructure Ontario], they would be burdened with expectations of fixing almost everything, and I think might be quite unfair.” -David HoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at https://riccardocosentino.com/   Follow David Ho: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtho-ontario/Follow Melissa Di Marco: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-di-marco/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In this episode, Kelly and Jay recount an extraordinary night at the International Remote Viewing Association conference in Cloudcroft, New Mexico—one that began as a simple group experiment in spoon bending and ended with a display of unexplained aerial activity over the nearby White Sands Missile Range. As dozens of participants focused their attention around a bonfire, cutlery softened and twisted in their hands—just as amber lights began moving across the desert sky in ways that defied conventional motion. The synchronicity between the two events raised unsettling questions about consciousness, matter, and the possible feedback loop between human intention and the phenomenon itself. Kelly and Jay examine that night moment by moment, reflecting on its implications for remote viewing, psychokinesis, and the broader study of anomalous events. Along the way, they discuss: The history of spoon bending and PK (psychokinesis) experiments, from Jack Houck's “PK parties” to government research programs. The atmosphere and experiments at the IRVA conference, including conversations with legendary remote viewers like Lyn Buchanan, Paul H. Smith, and Dale Graff The simultaneous UAP activity observed near White Sands and its uncanny timing with the group's collective experiment How belief, skepticism, and shared attention can shape reality—and why documenting the anomalous is never just about evidence, but about participation. This episode invites listeners to consider the possibility that consciousness is not a passive observer of the world—but an active participant in its unfolding.

While attending the recent Magistrorum Conference in Dallas, I was surprised to see and hear from a variety of entertainers I had never met, seen, nor (in most cases) even heard of before. It was refreshing to see such robust and exciting talent. One such person who made an impression on me was Susan Gerbic. A long time skeptic (and regular contributor to the Skeptical Inquirer), Susan has been dispelling myths about psychics, spiritualists, and others who “suck the life and money” out of unsuspecting “believers.” Her late partner, Mark Edwards coined the term “Grief Vampires” for those who prey on the grief of others and promise the hope of talking with their dead loved ones from beyond the grave…for the right price.Susan busts psychics much like Houdini did in his day which was part of his three pronged act in his later years: magic, escapes, and spiritualism exposes. She does it using today's social media and speaker platforms across the country. Not only does she have a rich background in the skeptic community, she is also known for her contributions to Wikipedia. In 2010, Gerbic founded "Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia" (GSoW), a group of editors who create and edit Wikipedia articles that reflect scientific skepticism. Among her many awards, she has received the "James Randi Award for Skepticism in the Public Interest" at The Amaz!ng Meeting 2013. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Having never met nor knowing anything about Susan Gerbic before we sat down to chat, we talked first about our common interests and friends in the community, like Banachek and the Amazing Randi. We quickly connected then I turned on the microphones and the results are obvious in our warm conversation as I seek to explore more about what Susan does. Since this is the “Month of Boo,” I felt it appropriate to celebrate the life of Houdini and his work on busting spiritualism by introducing you to this dynamic woman who is following in those big footsteps.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. This week, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Filippo Ongaro. He is a physician, bestselling author, and former flight surgeon at the European Space Agency who joins Dr. Bonta in the studio to explore a topic that's redefining how we think about aging: the pursuit of healthspan over lifespan.In a world obsessed with biohacking, supplements, and quick fixes, Dr. Ongaro brings the conversation back to fundamentals; how to age strong, not just long. Drawing from his years working with astronauts exposed to the accelerated aging effects of space travel, he reveals how lessons from outer space can transform how we live here on Earth.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Ongaro unpack what it really means to live well into our later decades; why preserving muscle is the key to longevity, how sleep acts as free medicine, and why fitness, nutrition, and environment are the true “anti-aging” tools. They challenge the hype around lifespan extension and focus instead on the daily, unsexy habits: movement, connection, consistency - that have the biggest impact on well-being.Dr. Ongaro also shares how his work has evolved to emphasize coaching, where he works to help people bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. From setting up your home to promote healthy choices, to rethinking gratification, he offers practical, science-informed ways to turn small behavioral changes into lifelong transformation.If you've ever wondered whether living to 100 is the goal; or if living well to 80 might be the better and more realistic one, this episode will reshape your understanding of aging, motivation, and what it truly means to thrive over time.Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about living longer AND stronger.Check out Dr. Filippo Ongaro, MD Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DrFilippoOngaroEpisode Timestamps02:00 Exploring Biohacking and Longevity03:08 The Importance of Healthspan vs. Lifespan06:11 Principles of a Good Healthspan09:06 Habit Change and Behavioral Science11:49 Creating a Supportive Environment for Health15:08 Lessons from Astronauts and Aging20:00 Motivating Change in Health Behaviors30:05 The Future of Longevity and HealthspanEpisode TakeawaysBiohacking is about more than just extending lifespan; it's about enhancing healthspan and quality of life.Fitness plays a crucial role in maintaining a high quality of life and can significantly impact healthspan.Habit change is essential for long-term health benefits, and coaching can be a powerful tool in facilitating this change.The lessons learned from astronauts about muscle preservation and stress management can be applied to everyday life.Simple lifestyle changes, like improving sleep quality and home ergonomics, can have a profound impact on health.The focus should be on applying existing knowledge about healthspan rather than seeking new, unproven methods.Behavioral change is key to improving health outcomes and should be integrated into medical practices.The concept of healthspan should become a common part of medical conversations to drive meaningful change.Practical interventions, like having a home gym, can be accessible and effective for many people.The future of longevity lies in making healthspan a universal focus, not just for biohackers or early adopters.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

When the Halloween season rolls in, few names cast a darker shadow than Ed and Lorraine Warren—the real-life ghost hunters behind The Conjuring, Amityville Horror, and Annabelle. Their stories have fueled decades of scary movies, haunted house legends, and late-night whispers. But how much of it was true… and how much was carefully crafted myth?This Terrifying & True deep dive unearths the real case files, skeptical investigations, and shocking contradictions that made the Warrens the most polarizing figures in paranormal history. We trace their rise from small-town “ghost chasers” to icons of spooky season, uncovering the faith, fear, and fortune that kept their names in the headlines—and on the silver screen.Along the way, we reveal the cultural moment that made them possible: the 1970s exorcism craze, the birth of modern demonology, and the national obsession with what hides beyond the veil.Inside this episodeOrigins & Methods: How the Warrens' haunted New England beginnings shaped their famous possession framework.Legendary Cases: Amityville, Annabelle, Enfield, and more—what they claimed versus what investigators found.Faith vs. Forensics: Photos, tapes, and testimony—what holds up and what falls apart under the light.Skeptics & Secrets: From Ray Garton to Joe Nickell, the critics who challenged the Warrens' every word.Legacy of Fear: How their cases built the blueprint for Hollywood horror and every spooky story that followed.If you're hunting for real-life horror stories, haunted history, and a chilling listen to carry you through Halloween night, step inside. The truth may be far stranger—and far scarier—than the movies ever showed.We're telling that story tonight.Check out more Terrifying & True episodes!https://www.weeklyspooky.com/categories/terrifying-true/

Send us a textWhat if feeling calmer wasn't a luxury, but the catalyst that makes everything else work? Our conversation with medical Reiki pioneer Pamela Miles gets practical about self-care for caregivers and clinicians: how brief, consistent self-Reiki lowers baseline stress, improves sleep, and restores the kind of presence that actually helps people heal. We dig into real-world obstacles—no time, night shifts, caregiver guilt—and share small routines that fit into crowded mornings, call nights, and hectic wards.Connect with Pamela and access her resources here:https://reikiinmedicine.org/Pamela pulls back the curtain on bringing Reiki into hospitals without hype. She explains how to engage skeptical colleagues by offering useful, relevant pieces of information and inviting them to test the practice rather than “believe.” We look at the neuroscience of safety, vagal tone, and why parasympathetic balance unlocks better decisions, clearer thinking, and steadier bedside manner. Nurses who fear “losing their edge” discover they finish earlier and make fewer errors; physicians see how a strong ego can serve, not steer, when presence leads the room.You'll hear why you don't need medical training to contribute meaningfully, just clarity about your role and respect for clinical teams. If you took a Reiki class years ago and stopped, you haven't “lost it”—you can start again today with simple hand placements and supportive structure. Pamela also shares free resources: a monthly guided global self-practice session and a concise guide to finding credible practitioners and teachers, so you know what to look for and what to avoid.If better sleep, calmer conversations, and more effective care sound good, try a short self-practice this week and notice what changes.

      8. The Triumph, the Skepticism, and the Legacy of the Sisterhood Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Even with high-level attention on the bin Laden compound, the targeters faced continued doubt and hesitation from senior operational leadership, a symptom of the CIA's humiliation over 9/11 and the bad intelligence regarding WMDs in the Iraq War. Nevertheless, the "ground-level targeters" were "very close to 100% confident" in their precision, using detailed aerial imagery analysis, including counting the laundry on the line, to determine the number of people and families inside the compound. When the SEALs raided the compound, they were astonished by the precision of the targeters' intelligence. In retirement, key figures like Barbara Sude and Heidi August continued their lives. The women later gathered at a writers' retreat for a cathartic moment, drinking wine and reading aloud the memoirs of the men they had worked for, often "shouting with frustration." The book also notes that the character of Maya (from Zero Dark Thirty) was based on a single woman who left the agency unpromoted.

Finding local atheist community is nerve-wracking for new non-believers who fear rejection and marginalization from friends, family, and society. The pervasive "Christonormativity" or "Theo-normativity" makes atheists feel inherently "weird" for simply existing, which fuels widespread fear despite modern communication tools. Straight white men are often more likely to adopt the atheist label, while women and people of color face compounded isolation, fearing negative "second and third order effects". Building small, local tribes through efforts like charity work is vital to combat the perception that atheists are uncaring. Ultimately, the goal is reaching a secular world where non-belief is viewed as just as natural as not being racist".  News Source: Kristina Lee: Building Atheist Community By Robert Bernstein for Ed Hat Santa Barbara September 22nd, 2025

China's ties with Southeast Asia states are increasingly consequential for regional stability and global geopolitics. Over the past two decades, China has become the region's largest trading partner and a major source of investment and infrastructure financing. At the same time, China growing military presence and aggressive behavior in the South China Sea have caused anxiety and have prompted a number of Southeast Asian nations to seek closer security ties with the United States and other partners.  The Trump administration's policies of imposing tariffs, reducing foreign assistance, and implementing stricter immigration regulations have begun to erode US influence across the region, further encouraging Southeast Asian countries to rely on each other and to diversify their relationships with external partners.    To discuss Beijing's evolving approach to Southeast Asia and the efficacy of its policies, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Chong Ja Ian. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore and a nonresident fellow at Carnegie China. Ian's research focuses on Chinese politics, foreign policy, and US-China relations. Timestamps[00:00] Intro[01:50] China's Tools and Objectives in SEA[03:02] Economic Relations with SEA[05:52] Success and Failures of Beijing's SEA Strategy[07:47] Regional Media and Influence[11:40] SEA Views on China: Consensus and Discord[14:55] Regional Strategy Post-Trump[18:22] SEA Reactions to China Taking Taiwan by Force[22:40] Crisis Planning and How it Could Change[24:10] Long-Term Outlooks for China-SEA Relations

A musician was sentenced to death for blasphemy under Sharia law in Nigeria, highlighting the tension between brutal religious courts and the nation's protective secular constitution. The Supreme Court intervened, recognizing that rapid sentencing by the local Sharia court often seeks to bypass constitutional protections before citizens can exercise their rights. This case exemplifies the political volatility of upholding modern secular law against entrenched traditional religious demands, where theological disagreements can result in capital punishment.News Source:Nigeria's Supreme Court allows late appeal in Kano blasphemy caseBy Camillus Ebo for ReutersSeptember 25, 2025

In this episode, Matthew bears witness to the many ways Jesus reveals Himself as God. Jesus calms a storm that leaves even seasoned fishermen terrified. He confronts a legion of demons in Gentile territory and is then begged to leave by the frightened locals. Returning home, Jesus heals a paralyzed man in full view of skeptical religious leaders, demonstrating His authority to forgive sins. Finally, we hear how Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector, into discipleship. Jesus shares a meal with Matthew and his friends—sinners in the eyes of the religious elite—provoking questions about who truly belongs at God's table and just who this Jesus is.  The Rev. David Hinz, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 8:23-9:13.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitysr.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
