My motivation for this episode is personal. One of my resolutions this year is to spend more time hosting and to make those gatherings more meaningful.I think a lot of us wish we had better social lives and a stronger feeling of community around us. But it's hard. We're busy, we're tired, and social planning and hosting can feel like just more work. So I asked Priya Parker on the show to help.Parker is the author of “The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters” and a wonderful Substack, Group Life. She's also a conflict resolution facilitator. And she just thinks about gathering and hosting in a different way from anyone else I've ever met. For her, it's about more than just throwing a great dinner party; it's about how we build community across differences, all the way up to how gathering can help create a better politics. The way Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign thought about community and built community among its volunteers was partly based on her work and advice.This episode is a bit of a break from politics — but also not. Because pulling the people we love closer and spending more time together rather than alone are as essential as any political or civic discipline could be right now.This conversation contains strong language.Mentioned:In Defense of Politics by Bernard CrickI And Thou by Martin BuberThe Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai“Adorable Little Detonators” by Allison P.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode (Part I of a 4-part series edited down from a 5 1/2 hour interview), Lenny Waronker takes a deep-dive stroll along with host Dave Gebroe through his entire career, with priceless commentary and stories peeled off along the way. Legendary producer and Warner Brothers studio head Lenny Waronker is a record producer and music industry executive. As the president of Warner Brothers Records, and later, as the co-founder and co-chair of DreamWorks Records, Waronker was noted for his commitment to artists and his belief that "music, not money, was still number one." In 2025, Waronker was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Ahmet Ertegun Award category for non-performing industry professionals. Part 1 focuses on the early years of Lenny's career, leading up to the first album he ever produced, Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle. Here are just a few of the many things that Lenny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: What it was like growing up with his father Simon, as he set up and funded the launch of Liberty Records; Befriending Randy Newman as a small child, and coming to realize how gifted he was; What it's like for Lenny and Randy to struggle with issues of self-confidence, and how those issues manifest; Meeting Van Dyke Parks for the first time and beginning to work with him; Hearing Brian Wilson's Smile tapes through Van Dyke; And the contract offered to Van Dyke: possibly the most artistically and financially advantageous agreement ever made with anybody ever.

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.One of the first signs of recognition a new mother looks for in her infant is - a smile. Look! She's smiling at me! Yes! Baby sees you. Baby recognizes you.From earliest days we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Remember what we missed in the COVID time with masks masking our smiles? Sure, we crinkled our eyes to signal a smile but it wasn't the same as receiving a smile from another human. Sometimes the tone of our voice was a good substitute. The “music of the spoken word” stood in for our smile. We did the best we could with what we had. Like a smile, the "music of the spoken word" brings written text to life with inflection, pause, tone, emphasis, and cadence. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but the human voice lends expression and emotional meaning.I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope, delight and imagination, as well as thoughts to ponder, stories to share, a practical tip to lighten and brighten your day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast episodes. My voice is me smiling at you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

Welcome to the finale of our mini-series. We started frozen in the ice, we flowed with the river, we expanded into the field, and we climbed the mountain. Now, we stand at the top.Today isn't about doing; it is about seeing. The air up here is different—thinner, purer, and silent—and you have left the noise of the world far below.In this final session, we practice "Victory Breathing"—the sigh of relief after a long journey. We visualize the path we have traveled, looking down to see that the problems which felt like giants below now look like ants from up here. This is the gift of the summit: Perspective.In this episode, you will learn:Victory Breathing: How to stop fighting for your breath and simply receive it.The 360-Degree Visualization: Seeing your worries as "dust in the distance".The Anchor: How to carry the peace of the mountain back down to the real world.Summit Affirmations: Repeat these when you need to remember your strength:"I have arrived.""I see my life clearly.""I am above the noise.""I carry this peace back down with me.""I am proud of who I am becoming."Martin's 3 Caring Tips for a Happier Life: The true master is the one who can carry the peace of the mountain back down into the marketplace. Here is how to do it:Celebrate the Micro-Wins: We often wait for the big moment to celebrate, but you climbed this mountain one step at a time. Today, celebrate a tiny win—getting out of bed, drinking water, or showing kindness.The 10,000-Foot View: Next time you feel overwhelmed, close your eyes and imagine zooming out to 10,000 feet. Ask yourself: "Will this matter in five years?". Distance creates clarity.The Souvenir: You can't stay on the mountain, but you can bring a stone back with you. Find a physical object today—a smooth stone or small trinket—and keep it in your pocket as an anchor to remind you of this calm.Thank you for taking this journey from the ice to the summit. If this series helped you find clarity, please leave a review and let me know which part resonated with you the most.Smile often, be kind, and enjoy the view.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Have you ever worked for a leader who smiled in meetings... but the room got quieter the moment they walked in?The kind of leader who talked about culture, values, and standards, yet people watched their words, measured their tone, and stayed just safe enough to get through the day.Here's the Caveat… That flinch tells a story numbers never will.In this episode, we're talking about the kind of leadership that looks successful on paper but quietly wears people down in real life. Not loud abuse. Not obvious failure. The subtle kind that hides behind pressure, expectations, and “this is just how we do things.”If you lead people, this conversation matters. Leadership isn't revealed by what you say when things are going well. It's revealed by how people feel when you enter the room.Let's talk about that.

In today's session, we leave the comfort of the Open Field to face the incline, not to conquer the mountain, but to discover the strength that has been hiding in your heart all along.This guided meditation is designed to help you build resilience and navigate the "boulders" in your path—whether they are worries, fears, or difficult people. We will practice "Altitude Breathing" to oxygenate your courage and visualize a climb that shifts your perspective from the problem to the progress you have made.In this episode, we will cover:Altitude Breathing: A breathwork technique to calm panic when the path gets steep.The Boulder Visualization: Learning to navigate around obstacles rather than fighting them.The Plateau: Recognizing how far you have come.Peak Affirmations: Use these affirmations when you feel the weight of the climb:"I am stronger than the obstacles in my way." "I take life one step at a time." "I trust my ability to figure things out." "I do not fear the climb; I embrace the growth." "I am rising." Martin's 3 Caring Tips for a Happier Life: Inspired by the climber's mindset, here is how to bring this resilience into your daily routine:Lighten Your Pack: A climber never carries what they don't need. Identify one "mental weight" you are carrying—a grudge, a worry about next week, or guilt from yesterday. Visualize taking it out of your backpack and leaving it on the side of the trail.The "Look Back" Rule: We are often so focused on the summit that we forget to appreciate the altitude we've already gained. If you feel stuck, stop and write down three things you have achieved in the last year.Choose Your Route: If you hit a roadblock, don't bang your head against it. Be like water and go around. Ask yourself, "What is the other way to solve this?" There is always another path up the mountain.Ready to go deeper?

Hello to you listening in Mountain View, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Hand on heart: I can still behave like an over-stretched, over-committed, dutiful, responsible, and driven first-born daughter. Do it right or don't do it at all.Maybe like me you find yourself doing it all wrong by trying to do it all right. We have these notions--born of long-ago outdated, outmoded stories--about what we're supposed to do, have, create, earn, market, publish, reconfigure, reorganize, envision, and connect. But I can't and I don't want to do it all perfectly. I want to Be rather messy in my life. Practical Tip: Let's stop for a moment. How would it feel if we “should” less on our own good selves? What if - even for a moment - we invite the power of the pause, peace and space. Did you just breathe a deep sigh of relief? Perhaps drop your shoulders? Maybe even smile at your silly human self? Me, too. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

The discussion spans the latest Vision Pro beta updates and immersive NBA experiences to rumors of new M5 MacBook Pros and significant leadership shifts at Apple.

The episode covers a wide range of topics from hardware shortages and software betas to major security breaches and executive transitions. The panel discusses the recent Vision Pro beta releases, noting that while the updates are relatively minor, they significantly improve connectivity with game controllers. Looking ahead, Apple Arcade is set to launch a "Retrocade" on February 5th, bringing 3D immersive versions of classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids to the headset. The team also reviews the recent immersive Lakers NBA game, sharing mixed feelings about the audio quality and app stability, but ultimately expressing excitement for the future of sports in VR. Current MacBook Pro stock is reportedly thinning, with wait times stretching into March. This has fueled speculation about an imminent release of M5 Pro and M5 Max models. The panel debates whether users should upgrade now or wait for the rumored M6, while also considering how NVIDIA's priority at TSMC for AI chips might be impacting Apple's supply chain. The discussion takes a serious turn regarding a massive 1TB data breach at Apple manufacturing partner Luxshare. The stolen data allegedly includes confidential product designs and engineering documents from 2019 through 2025, raising concerns about reverse engineering and hardware vulnerabilities. On the software side, 1Password has introduced a new anti-phishing feature that warns users when they attempt to paste passwords into suspicious websites. The panel also revisits Walmart's continued refusal to accept Apple Pay, noting that the retailer prefers its own "Walmart Pay" system to maintain control over customer purchase data. Apple TV+ continues to gain momentum with six Academy Award nominations for the film F1. The panel also previews upcoming content, including the March 27th premiere of For All Mankind Season 5, and discusses other popular series like Starfleet Academy and Monarch. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to reports that John Ternus is being groomed as the next Apple CEO. Ternus has recently taken over management of the design teams, a move seen as a way to expose him to broader business operations before Tim Cook eventually retires. While some panelists express anxiety over a post-Cook era, others highlight Apple's history of strong succession planning. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

The MacVoices Live! panel discusses how artificial intelligence has shifted from a destination into an invisible layer within everyday software. Rather than visiting separate tools, AI is now embedded in operating systems and apps, increasingly becoming a natural part of workflows. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio and Jim Rea explore how this mirrors earlier machine-learning adoption and raises questions about awareness, dependence, and long-term impact.

If you're into comics and graphic novels, you probably know of Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud. Telgemeier rose to "first-name-only status" among middle-grade readers with her adaptations of The Babysitters Club and award-winning autobiographical graphic novels including Smile and Guts. Scott McCloud is a leading comics theorist, having spoken and written about the art form since the 1980s. In fact, Telgemeier credits McCloud's work for inspiring her when she was a teenager. Now these two leading artists come together to discuss the unique power of comics and their new graphic novel, The Cartoonists Club. Their book centers around four characters: Makayla, who is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story; Howard, who loves to draw but struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time; Lynda, who constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes; and Art, who simply loves being creative. Throughout the book, Telgemeier and McCloud infuse how-to advice on comics creation that, they hope, will inspire a new wave of cartoonists. They both have seen renewed enthusiasm for the genre, especially among younger readers and are teaming up to provide an entertaining and practical guide to the magic of comics storytelling. Raina Telgemeier is the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award–winning creator of Smile, Sisters, and Guts, which are all graphic memoirs based on her childhood. She is also the creator of Drama and Ghosts, and is the adapter and illustrator of the first four Baby-sitters Club graphic novels. Facing Feelings: The Art of Raina Telgemeier is a companion catalog for an exhibition held at Ohio State University's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Raina lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. To learn more, visit her online at goraina.com. Scott McCloud is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art; Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels; Zot!; and The Sculptor. He is a frequent lecturer on the power of visual communication, creator of the international 24-hour comic movement, and, in 2021, was inducted into the Will Eisner Awards Hall of Fame. His art and stories are available in more than 30 languages and on the web at scottmccloud.com Buy the Book The Cartoonists Club Brick and Mortar Books
The MacVoices Live! panel discusses how artificial intelligence has shifted from a destination into an invisible layer within everyday software. Rather than visiting separate tools, AI is now embedded in operating systems and apps, increasingly becoming a natural part of workflows. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio and Jim Rea explore how this mirrors earlier machine-learning adoption and raises questions about awareness, dependence, and long-term impact. The Antigravity A1 is the world's first 8K 360 drone, it's genuinely a game-changer. You get full immersive flight with the goggles, insanely intuitive controls, and endless creative freedom in editing.If you're thinking about buying a drone, make it this one.

With CCTV cameras on almost every street corner, London is the European capital with the most video surveillance, and facial recognition is becoming increasingly prevalent. According to London's Metropolitan Police, this tool allows them to be more efficient in making arrests. But locals are divided on its implications for their privacy. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Florent Marchais.
With Freddy Peralta now coming to Citi Field, we're pretty up on the moves the Mets have made this off-season. We also toss some Yankees talk to mix it up a bit.
Simply Convivial: Organization & Mindset for Home & Homeschool
Decluttering is not a one-time reset. It is part of managing a real home that real people use every day. If clutter overwhelms you, I invite you to my free workshop: Decluttering Made Simple: 3 Surprising Ways to Get Organized WITHOUT Tossing Everything - Sign up at simplyconvivial.com/declutterIn this episode of my decluttering series, I show you how to turn decluttering into a small daily habit instead of a stressful life overhaul. I walk through three real spaces in my home and demonstrate how much progress you can make in just a few minutes at a time.In this video we talk about: Why homes will never stay “done” Why systems always require maintenance How to declutter in 3–5 minute pockets How to manage changing family needs Why clutter is not a moral failure How to think like a competent home managerYour family will grow. Your seasons will change. Your space will be used. That is not a problem to fix — it is life to manage well.This video is part of my decluttering series for Christian homemakers who want peaceful, functional homes without chasing minimalist ideals.Christian homemaking takes deliberate practice, not perfect systems. Every week on Simply Convivial, I share practical mindset shifts and small, steady habits that help you build a home anchored in truth and run with cheerful consistency. If you want less overwhelm, stronger routines, and a more faithful way to manage your day, you're in the right place. Grab a basket of laundry, press play, and let's grow in cheerful productivity together.
Today's episode is about a girl who felt like nobody - even to her own family. She did what was right, learned quietly in the back of rooms, and tried to make others feel special because that's what she wished for herself. One day, someone saw her worth and said she could build an empire. That moment changed how she saw herself. As I grew, I realized something big: there isn't a person alive who's nobody. By being human, we are somebody - important to someone. We matter to our families, our friends, and the people who sit with us at the table. Success is great, but it's the people who love us who make life rich. This episode is my reminder to choose kindness, every day. Smile, notice people, and say something real, especially when someone is having a hard day. Make everyone feel special. When their time comes, they'll remember you—and you'll build amazing things together. See you tomorrow. Thank you for joining me today! I'm having a blast creating Fabulous Over 50 & it would be an honor to have you share it with someone who would enjoy it. Thank you! Want more? Go to the website and you'll find many ways to live your best life over 50! I'd love to hear what you think about this episode, and what you'd like to hear about in the future.

One of the most listened to men in the world is being accused of 'red-pilling' his audience. But what is that, and has it happened to Steven Bartlett of Diary of a CEO? Our (literal) foreign policy expert Amelia Lester is back and we have questions for her about Greenland. Namely, where is it? Why does Trump want it? And what happens if he gets it? Also, JLo has been accused of being rude when she didn't say "Hi" to the Glambot Guy on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week. We all love stories of snooty celebrities but is this just an extension of telling women to "Smile"? Plus, on your Instagram it's 2016. So why are we so attracted to recent nostalgia, and what are the tell-tale signs that a pic was taken the year the whole world lurched towards the flaming bin?

Hello to you listening in Bywong, Australia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories With Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I remember taking part in a 2-week Outward Bound mountaineering trip high in the Canadian Rockies with 5 other women. In pairs we climbed up and then rappelled down the rock face of a near vertical mountain wall. The guides were far above us, out of sight, having anchored the ropes. With fear in her voice my climbing partner froze partway up her ascent and cried out: “I can't find anything to hold on to.” Time passed. From far above us a voice replied, “Grab it with both hands...” It worked! She trusted the guides, their advice and herself sufficient to climb all the way to the top and descend the rock face. I can still see her triumphant smile when her feet touched rocky soil again. Question: What if Life grabbed you with both hands and offered you an unexpected opportunity? Would you trust what Life was offering you? How would you know? What would motivate you to find out and take it? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a sharp, data-driven analysis of Bruno Mars' explosive lead single “I Just Might,” released January 9, 2026, via Atlantic Records—the first preview of his fourth solo album The Romantic, set for February 27, 2026.Born October 8, 1985, Bruno Mars has sold over 200 million singles globally, earned multiple Grammys, and defined retro revivalism through 1970s disco, funk, soul, and Motown influences. After 24K Magic (2016), Silk Sonic, and recent smashes like “Die With a Smile” and “APT.,” this marks his first solo album in nearly a decade.Co-written/produced by Mars, D'Mile, Philip Lawrence, and Brody Brown, the mid-tempo disco-pop/pop-soul cut layers funk guitar, bold brass, and pristine vocals with nods to Leo Sayer's 1976 classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.” The co-directed music video (Bruno Mars & Daniel Ramos; choreography by Mars & Phil Tayag) features a 1970s soundstage, multi-instrumental performance, and “clone” versions of Mars, quickly surpassing 11 million YouTube views.Early metrics (as of January 13-14, 2026) set career highs: Spotify US debut #1 (1.94M Day-1 streams), Global #3 (4.97M Day-1)—his largest solo Spotify global debut ever. It instantly topped US iTunes and claimed 71% of votes in Billboard's Best New Music poll, outpacing The Kid LAROI, Zach Bryan, and Robyn. Release triggered catalog resurgence, with “That's What I Like” and “Locked Out of Heaven” re-entering Billboard Global 200 charts, placing four Mars tracks simultaneously.Analytic Dreamz examines the strategic rollout: no genre reinvention, but flawless execution leveraging nostalgia, polished showmanship, and fan demand for elite streaming, digital sales, and immediate approval. Positive reception highlights catchiness, dance-floor energy, and nostalgia; pushback includes creative stagnation critiques and renewed cultural appropriation discussions around retro Black music homage.
