What does it mean to be an LGBTQ+ athlete competing at the Olympics or Paralympics? On this special episode of The Jack Murley Sports Show, we head into the archives to revisit some of our most memorable conversations with LGBTQ+ Olympians and Paralympians – athletes who have not only achieved extraordinary things in elite sport, but have also helped create greater visibility and representation for the queer community on sport's biggest stage. There has never been greater visibility of LGBTQ+ athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the athletes featured in this episode have played an important part in helping LGBTQ+ people feel seen, represented and welcome in sport. From Olympic history-makers to medal-winning Paralympians, we revisit conversations with:

On Cincinnati Edition's weekly news review, local journalists join us to talk about the big stories from recent days.
When people with ADHD struggle to start, return to, or finish a task, their inaction is frequently mislabeled as laziness, poor motivation, or chronic procrastination. In reality, the obstacle is rarely about logistics or effort. It stems from the emotional pre-work required just to get to the starting line. Brendan Mahan, an ADHD coach, speaker, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast, and author of Overcoming the Wall of Awful, joins Emily to talk about the emotional barriers that turn ordinary demands into overwhelming roadblocks. TAKEAWAYS Task paralysis is driven primarily by emotional labor and accumulated negative memories rather than simple executive dysfunction or laziness. The emotional work required to face an anxiety-provoking task is invisible from the outside, which often cause those around you to mistake genuine freeze states for willful procrastination. Smashing through emotional barriers using eleventh-hour panic and anger damages internal self-esteem and strains personal relationships. Putting a door in an emotional barrier involves shifting short-term states using external scaffolding such as body doubling, high-interest music, or novel environments. Climbing an emotional barrier requires a balance of active cognitive processing and passive mind-wandering to allow the brain's default mode network to metabolize stress. Healthy accountability separates functional impairments from moral worth by treating ADHD symptoms with the same matter-of-fact compassion as an asthma flare-up or chronic physical condition. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern.

We re-visit one of the most emotional and gripping conversations we have ever recorded. Eight Olympic medals, five of them gold, and the first Briton ever to win the Tour de France. For one summer in 2012, Sir Bradley Wiggins was the most famous man in Britain — sideburns, gold medal, sat on a throne at Hampton Court. He couldn't bring himself to put the medal on.Bradley takes us right back to the beginning: a council estate in Kilburn, a father who left when he was eighteen months old and came back only once his son was successful, and a coach who sexually abused him between the ages of thirteen and sixteen — something he didn't say out loud for thirty years. Then he traces, with total honesty, how that damage became the fuel that made him great, and how the same fuel nearly destroyed him when the racing stopped.Moments that will stay with you:Why Bradley laid his Olympic gold medal on the sofa rather than put it round his neckSmashing his trophies off the mantelpiece, and throwing out his knighthoodHis father's line, a week after they finally met: "Don't forget, you'll never be as good as your old man was"Realising the voice screaming at him up every climb of the Tour was his stepfather'sLance Armstrong offering to pay for his treatment, and what Bradley said backThe hotel room his son had to come and find him inHe's unflinching on what drove him: that greatness often grows out of a dark place, and that isn't something to romanticise. That you don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits. That fulfilment carries you further than happiness ever will. And his hardest-won lesson — not everyone who helps you is your friend, and not everyone who hurts you is your enemy. The answer isn't to forget the past. It's to change your relationship with it.Contains discussion of the sexual abuse of children and of addiction. Please listen with care.Revolut Business

Cotality's Housing Affordability numbers paint what even a sceptic would have to agree is a pretty good picture of our housing market. Especially for first timers and when you compare us to Australia. Australia's market is a mess, and one of the biggest messes within the mess is the result of their Labor Government changing tax deductibility around landlords and expenses. Labour here did it and it had a similar result. Under our current Government they restored deductibility and the proof is there for all to see. Investors are part of the market. The first-time buyer is in clover, and rents are flat as a pancake. For landlords and some others who want capital return in double digits, this won't be the greatest of news. But many have argued for years that housing needs to be more affordable and the Cotality numbers show now it is 7.2 times the average wage versus as high as 10 times a few years back. The lesson, if Labour here wants to learn it, is investors aren't crooks. They're not nasty people looking to enslave tenants. They're businesspeople who simply want a fair shake. In Australia the market is in free fall, investors have fled, applications for mortgage money have tanked, and the value of houses is falling as the auction clearance rate each weekend craters. In a single move in this year's Budget, Albanese and Chalmers have managed to upend what for most Australians is their dream. And that is the other part of our story and Cotality's numbers – the first home buyer has never been a bigger part of the market. Why is that? Because despite all the energy put into trying to convince people otherwise, we have a love affair with real estate. Even though the youth of today are a world away from what we used to be in terms of lifestyle and attitude and world view, what hasn't changed is the desire to own your own home. Your castle. So in New Zealand we are stable, predictable, and more affordable. In Australia they're collapsing, panicking, and chaotic. That's a story for us to be proud of.

It's unclear who the saying "it can always be worse", is meant for. A girl named Liv is suspicious that her boyfriend of 8 months is cheating on her. But it can always be worse, right? But what if it's as bad as it can get? What if there is no worse… this is the bottom? Then what? Liv reaches over while Mason sleeps. There is only one way to find out if he's cheating on her, go through his phone. Within the hour, she's packing her things and making a run for it. What she found wasn't another woman. It was Mason negotiating prices with strangers on Telegram: $20 for videos, $30 for megalinks, $80 for all of the above. And links to what she later described to police as little girls between the ages of 6 and 7 years old, some as young as 3. This is the case of Mason Hullo, a TikTok looksmaxxer exposed by his ex for purchasing CSAM, and his bizarre excuse behind why.

In 1993, the Smashing Pumpkins released Siamese Dream—an album packed with massive guitar tones, vulnerable lyrics, and some of alternative rock's most enduring songs. This week we revisit the 1993 classic and discuss what makes tracks like “Cherub Rock,” “Today,” “Disarm,” and “Mayonaise” continue to resonate decades later. We also complete our rankings of the 90s albums we've been discussing all month.Then it's time for another draft as we select the most unique voices in rock history. From instantly recognizable frontmen to singers whose sound could never be mistaken for anyone else, we debate the artists whose voices became their signature. Whether it's raw power, unusual tone, emotional delivery, or pure originality, every pick had to pass one test: you'd know who it is within seconds.Support our show and join our Patreon!If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts app or wherever you listen.
