Podcasts about Sorry Not Sorry

It's time to discuss everyone's least favorite acronym: TERFs. Let's talk about what these anti-feminist transphobes, where they come from, how they're full of hot garbage, and how all their claims fall apart if you think about them for longer than ten seconds. I don't know how to tell you this (yes I do), but science is once again on the side of trans people. Science educator, writer, and doctor of astrophysics Dr. Erin Macdonald joins us to discuss how if you love science, you have to be okay with definitions changing. Hire her to be Dana Scully! Also: rights. are. not. pie.

In this episode of Easy English, we unpack the strange habit of over-apologizing: why it happens, what "sorry" is actually doing when it's not about guilt, and how understanding this one small word will make your spoken English sound noticeably more natural.This episode is for intermediate (B1-B2) English learners who want to sound less like a textbook and more like a real English speaker, especially in meetings, presentations, and everyday conversation.Five words to listen for: reflex, instinctively, sincere, overuse, guilt.New episodes every week — real English, one everyday topic at a time.Watch the video episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0zdSWbiJYKbWfhHrizj5wA00:00 Why We Say Sorry00:49 Poll And Vocabulary03:32 Support The Podcast04:16 Sorry As A Reflex06:38 Four Meanings Of Sorry09:21 Keeping The Peace11:03 Fluency Beyond Grammar12:09 When Sorry Loses Power14:35 Confidence And Balance16:31 Regional Differences18:25 Key Takeaways And Goodbye

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.Carol, a member of our community, posted about a pattern in her weekend group. After almost every point, someone apologizes. She keeps telling them there are no sorries in pickleball. It isn't sinking in.In this episode, Coach Tony invited Coach Kyleen from the TRP coaching team to join him in the conversation. Kyleen has lived the experience Carol conveyed. She started playing with a group of women who were all new to the game. Same level, same mistakes. They still apologized to each other. We see it at our camps too, especially on the first morning.Mistakes are built into this sport. Your partner is going to make them. So are you. So are professionals. We talk about why the "sorry" habit sticks and a simple way for a group to break it together.Then a harder question. Are you good enough to play with this group? Coach Tony shares the story of a player who, while traveling, approached a group of men, was asked her level, and was turned away. Tony talks about what he told her to say next time.The bigger point is simple. Someone welcomed every one of us into this sport. If they hadn't, we wouldn't be playing.Kyleen and Tony will be in Tampa this October for two camps, including a women's camp on October 22 and 23. If you're curious, book a call with Kyleen. She'll give you the facts, and you can decide if it's right for you: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ1kdoeYXFOcUDj4tGqrzJAXwC9bD5kZr4qWMhBWUn9KoHhTbVhWGRv0xwoCgij4L1wM_QV2QRV-——————————————————————Coach Tony Roig helps players understand the game instead of just collecting tips: strategy, the mental game, and the decisions that decide pickleball rallies.

The only downside to consistently challenging the things that scare you is that your track record isn't going to be perfect. Sometimes it can turn out worse than you could've imagined. But you can get through that, too, just like everything else. Private chef and viral TikTok sensation Bree returns to discuss roadblocks and speedbumps, and the best thing in the world!

As we at The Times of Israel prepared for the Jewish Day of Repentance, we were reminded of an episode that aired last year on Israel Story, our partner podcast. The outfit kindly allowed us to run the Yom Kippur episode in full. Here's how Israel Story described the episode last year: Exactly two years ago, in September 2023, we were in the final stages of working on an episode that we planned to release for Yom Kippur. A bunch of production hiccups made us decide to postpone publication by a week or two. Then came October 7th. Fast forward to today. Yom Kippur is, once again, upon us, and we decided to dust off that never-aired 2023 episode. Since we bring it to you as it was, the episode feels a bit like a fossil -- like a relic of a distant, saner time. But because it was recorded and edited in an entirely different reality, hearing it now somehow only accentuates the craziness of our times. First up: It's the season to reflect and repent, forgive and forget. As part of that, millions of Jews all around the world send and receive conciliatory messages. These humble pleas are usually an intimate exchange, something that happens between two people and them alone. However, one former high-school teacher from Jerusalem chose a completely different path in pursuit of forgiveness. Adina Karpuj brings us the tale of Channa Pinchasi's unusual search for absolution. In act two, we revisit the weeks leading up to Yom Kippur of 2023, when we converted two old train cars in Jerusalem’s First Station into confession booths. One was labeled “Sorry,” and the other “Not Sorry.” Hundreds of passersby stepped into one, or both, of these booths and anonymously shared their regrets and secrets. Zev Levi created a mashup of the confessions we collected. To close the episode, we explore Etgar Keret's story about his not-yet-four-year-old son Lev getting on an easily-irritable taxi driver's wrong side. Lev learned an important and difficult lesson: that saying you're sorry is a very hard thing to do. The short story, voice acted by Ofer Carmel, first appeared in Etgar's award-winning nonfiction collection, 'The Seven Good Years.' Our end song is Lu Yehi ("Let It Be") performed by HaGashash HaHiver. Produced in partnership with The Times of Israel.

The Fast Lane with Ed Lane: Friday, September 18, 2026

Getting my first haircut was more anxiety-inducting than you might expect, because at the time my hair was the only part of me that caused no dysphoria. But I went through with it, afraid it would make my dysphoria worse... while hoping it might make things better than I could have even imagined. Private chef and viral TikTok sensation Bree returns to discuss running away from dysphoria and feeling connections through food. Let's learn about curries! Wear your masks!

On tonight's show, things start off with a nice hypothetical question, then everything goes off the rails. And, surprise surprise, Tony is angrier then he needs to be.

My hair has played a huge part in my transition, and believe it or not, played a huge part in my denial of the truth of my transness pre-transition. Let's talk about all the ways it can help us find ourselves and reflect who we really are... if we let it. Private chef and viral TikTok sensation Bree joins us to discuss saying it out loud, and having a weightless soul. Be done with the wizard boy! Grab the Cholula!

SorryNotSorry for all the accents. 

Let's wrap up our talk about the trans allegory of KPop Demon Hunters, where we see that conditional love is not love, and you cannot fix broken systems by replacing them with the exact same thing. We'll talk about where and why the allegory breaks down and becomes "imperfect," and how that's okay, actually! But it's important to note, because truth matters. Jeremy Holt returns to discuss remixing the terribleness and calling it something new! The cis-tem wants us closeted, but we can open the door whenever we're ready to.

The trans allegory of KPop Demon Hunters continues, again! This week we look at how transphobia becomes transphobes' entire personality, internalized transphobia, and the hypocrisy of those who claimed to love us but reject us once we come out to them.

Age is just a number, right? Wrong! Particularly wide age-gap relationships tend to be more transactional than true love.

Kpop Demon Hunters has taken the world by storm, and settled itself deep in the hearts of many trans people, myself included. Is it a trans allegory? Let's take a look and see what this remarkable animated film has to say about transness. We discuss context, names, and dive in by timestamps! And yes, we talk about "Golden". Comic writer Jeremy Holt joins us to discuss the difference between gender and sexuality, and how it's never too late to reshape yourself if you just add water. Are you aggressively hetero?

David thought he got away with murder. No man--even if they knew the truth--would have dared challenge the king. And yet no man--even the king himself-- can hide his sin from God. Everything done in secret will be brought into the light.How will David respond when his sin is exposed? Will he shoot the messenger? Or will he apologise? What does it look like for a man after God's own heart to say that he's sorry for adultery and murder? As it turns out, David's repentance is a model for us. True repentance isn't something we do for God--it's evidence that he's given us His very heart. And it's more than just a feeling--it takes decisive action to restore what our sin has broken.

Rainbow Capitalism is terrible. Flat-out awful, even though trans and queer customers SHOULD be catered to as part of any company's customer base.

I recently discovered that without realizing, I have apparently so fully embraced and accepted who I am, that I am literally excited to be perceived. Let's talk about how that can sneak up on you, and how so fully loving who you are can change experiences in ways you never dreamed were possible.

I'm kicking off the brand-new After Reality Flashback series with Kalon McMahon, one of the most unforgettable villains from Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette. He also reveals the truth behind his iconic helicopter entrance — what was real, what was production, and how that over-the-top arrival put a target on his back from night one.As two former Bachelor Nation villains from the old-school era, Kalon and I go all the way back — before TikTok, podcasts, Instagram statements, influencer careers, and contestants having any real way to tell their side of the story.Kalon looks back on the moments that defined his time on reality TV, from the helicopter entrance and “sorry not sorry” to the infamous “baggage” scene that followed him for years. We unpack how that moment really played out behind the scenes, what viewers didn't see, and what filming was actually like when the edit was everything.We also get into producer pressure, house dynamics, villain edits, Bachelor fashion, who Kalon was hoping the Bachelorette would be — spoiler alert, it was me — dating after the show, how Bachelor Pad changed the audience's perception of him, the very first season of Bachelor in Paradise, and where life has taken him since, including Texas, pickleball, and married life with his wife Emily.Juicy, nostalgic, and full of show truths, this is a candid look back at a completely different era of Bachelor Nation — when the fashion was questionable, the storylines were ruthless, and one sound bite could follow you forever.@kalonmcm Hosted on Acast.

We all have hopes and dreams, and imagine how transition is going to go, and who we really are inside. But often the only way to actually get to that true person inside is by letting go of our preconceived notions of who we were going to be.

When Detective Constable Simon becomes the sole detective on the remote island of Rothesay, he sets his sights on cleaning up the town's growing drug problem. But just months into his new role, his investigations begin to unravel. That's when Simon starts to suspect someone inside the department is tipping off suspects. His search for the source turns up nothing, and he's left to face a chilling possibility: the leak might be coming from above. Detective Constable Simon joined the force in 1978 and retired in 2006. During his tenure, Simon worked in the drugs and major crimes unit, in the Serious Crime Squad, did surveillance and undercover work, and worked in anti-terrorism, organized crime and corruption. After his retirement, he ran his own investigation business for a number of years. Simon is the founder of LEAP Scotland, part of a global campaign to change laws to end the ‘war on drugs.' He has own community radio show and YouTube Channel, and is co-host of the Crime Time Inc. podcast with Small Town Dicks's favorite Tom Woods.
