It only took us eight years but we finally reached 150 episodes. How about that? To celebrate, we squeeze into matching Union Jack dresses and slam our bodies down and wind them all around to discuss Spice World (1997), the notoriously bad (but secretly good?) Spice Girls movie. To elder millennials, this movie's a big honking deal, folks, and we pull out all the stops to unpack exactly why that is. And to then marvel at how, of all the directions they could have gone with a Spice Girls movie, this is what they made. Bonus video: We name our favorite movies about bands, real or fictional. Watch it on our Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok.

Content warning: gender-based violence, abuse, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and rape. Alison Jones-Lockwood is a mother and victim advocate in Colorado. Her career in aiding survivors began years ago while she was in college, and continues to this day. Although her journey recently pivoted when she became Executive Director of the Rape Crisis Center for Northern Colorado, at the time of our recording she worked with EVAWI or End Violence Against Women International. The Broken Cycle Media team is grateful Alison was able to offer such a broad perspective of the advocacy arena, as well as a detailed account of what's coming next for EVAWI, as the organization works to change the criminal justice and legal landscapes for victims. Although the importance of advocacy work is always relevant, this conversation is especially timely considering October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

In this episode, we draw from the well of chess again. This time discussing five of the most popular and successful openings in Chess: the Spanish Opening, the Sicilian Defense, the Italian Game, the French Defense, and the Caro-Kann. On our journey to learn about openings, we will also learn about chess legends like Arpad Elo (the inventor of ELO), Ruy Lopez, Giulio Greco, and more. We will sink our teeth into chess history like the Gottingen manuscript and the first recorded games. Then, we will study how the greatest players of today like Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Vladislav Artemieve like to start their games. Special guest appearance from Napoleon Bonaparte.

Episode 267: On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants attacked the US embassy in Tehran, Iran, taking 66 diplomats and staff members hostage. Remarkably, six diplomats managed to slip away unnoticed. These individuals were Robert Anders, Cora Lijek, Mark Lijek, Joseph Stafford, Kathleen Stafford, and Lee Schatz. Schatz sought refuge at the Swedish embassy, while the others went to the British embassy. However, upon nearing the embassy, they encountered a large crowd of protestors obstructing their path. Consequently, they decided to take shelter at Anders' residence and devise their next steps. After six harrowing days, the six American diplomats sought refuge at the Canadian embassy. The Canadian Ambassador to Iran, Ken Taylor, and his team provided shelter to the American diplomats and false Canadian passports. The Canadian government played a critical role in the mission to rescue them. The then-Canadian Prime Minister, Joe Clark, approved the operation and fully supported Ambassador Taylor and his team. The rescue mission, known as the “Canadian Caper,” involved the creation of a fake movie production company called “Studio Six” and the production of a fake science fiction film called “Argo.” The Canadian embassy staff, along with the American diplomats, managed to escape from Iran using a combination of air travel and ground transportation. They were safely evacuated from Iran on January 28, 1980. The role played by Canada in the hostage crisis was highly appreciated by the US government and earned Canada international recognition for helping resolve the crisis.

Boundaries are the ways we teach other people to treat us… I think that's from Dr. Phil, actually. In our journey of weight loss, setting boundaries for ourselves establishes guardrails to keep us safe. When we set boundaries for ourselves or with other people, we are engaging in healthy acts of self-care. Too many people struggle to set boundaries, as most people were never taught what boundaries are, much less how to establish them. Low self-esteem also prevents people from setting boundaries or to say “no” when it comes time to protecting their time, space or possessions. It's important to learn about healthy boundaries in order to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Boundaries keep us protected and keep us on track toward our goals. Listen in and learn more about how developing boundaries for yourself and with others will help you reach and maintain your goals of living a healthy lifestyle!Be sure to go to www.bariaftercare.com and sign up so you can hear the second part of BariAftercare's Boundaries and Your Weight: Healthy Self-Care!

THE POX and PUSS PODCAST : An Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Experience
On August 16th, 2016, a man covered with desert dirt, who looked as if he'd been hiking for days, walked into a rural California convenience store and bought $100 worth of junk food and water. Located near the Pacific Crest Trail, the convenience store owner was no stranger to dirty hikers. However, this man happened to match the description of a suspected murderer wanted by the police. In less than an hour, the man would be shot dead as he was walking back to the Pacific Crest Trail. This is the crazy story of how Benjamin Peter Ashley terrorized the remote canyon communities of Central California and used the Pacific Crest Trail to elude authorities for weeks.

On the morning of June 2nd, 2018, as students at the Portland Oregon Culinary Institute filed in for their usual morning classes, they would make a tragic discovery. Beloved Culinary Instructor Daniel Brophy was dead, lying in a pool of his own blood, shot twice. His death would be a mystery, almost like something his wife of 27 years Nancy Brophy would have written about in her suspenseful romance novels that she was known for writing. But, UNLIKE her romance novels investigators would discover not everything in the Brophy home was lovey dovey. Could the motive for Dan Brophy's murder really be summed up as financial hardships? Or is this case still a mystery that hasn't yet been solved?

Leveraging Dietary Protein * Why is protein needed? * What kind of protein? * How much? Why is Protein Needed? Obesity Prevention: The American diet tends to be high in carbohydrates and fats. Excessive intake of these nutrients is driving an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If protein intake is increased, it crowds out carbohydrates and fats and also makes you less hungry between meals. The result, less obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Skeletal Health: Many adults don't have enough protein in their diet to support minimal health of the skeleton. A diet low in protein cannot provide the amino acids necessary for all body systems. The consequence? Loss of muscle mass becomes a serious problem. When you lose muscle, your risk of injury from falls increases. For example, hip fractures are related to lower leg weakness (the result of reduced muscle mass). Furthermore, normal spine shape depends on the muscles in the back to resist forward bending. When muscles along the spine are lost, a forward bend in the spine occurs, creating back pain and decreasing lung volume, which increases your risk of pneumonia or respiratory failure if you get sick. Glucose Metabolism: Beyond its importance for your skeleton, muscle plays a huge role in energy metabolism. Muscle in your skeleton is an essential consumer of glucose . When you have less muscle, blood glucose gets out of control and the risk of diabetes increases. CONCLUSION: We need protein for muscle health and all of its benefits. What Kind of Protein? There are both plant and animal sources of protein. Is one better than the other? A recent study from China points the the value of having dietary proteins from a wide range of plant and animal sources. In this study, people who consumed protein from a wide variety of sources experienced fewer problems with high blood pressure. CONCLUSIONI: Get Protein from Variety of Sources: How much protein do you need? The answer for people with regular intentional physical activity: 1 g of dietary protein for each kilogram of body weight. So if you weigh 180 pounds (82 kg), you need 82 g of dietary protein each day. Let's consider an average eating scenario to see if it will deliver this much. Breakfast: poultry egg x 2 (12 g) slice of whole wheat toast (3.6 g) sausage patties x 2 (10 g) greek yogurt x 1 cup (16 g) blueberries 4 oz (0.5 g) Lunch: Flour tortilla (for taco) x 2 (8 g) chicken filling x 6 oz (52 g) spinach leaf x 2 (1 g) Dinner Salmon filet x 6 oz (34 g) brussel sprouts x 6 oz (1 g) dinner roll x 1 (2 g) Total: 140 g! If that a typical meal plan for you, then you can easily get 100 g of protein daily. If you are doing resistance exercise to build strength, you need more protein. Studies indicate that you will need approximately 2 grams of dietary protein per kilogram of body weight to make strength gains. That could be tough to do without inserting some concentrated protein shakes into your daily meal plan. Summary: Dietary Protein Is Essential! A wide variety of protein is best for your health; You should aim to consume 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight - double that if you are working to get stronger. Want to learn more?

Aside from a few stray cases, such as that of Elizabeth Klarer, and the roadside encounter of a disc shaped object by two constables in Pretoria, the UFO was an unfamiliar sight in South Africa. That all changed in 1972 when "Bennie" Smit opened fire on a strange egg shaped object skulking around his farm. The shots heard 'round Braeside farm led to a wave of UFO activity that caught the attention of those that lived in The Republic of South Africa.

We'll explore these questions and more in this episode. Main Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought for a price: therefore, glorify God in your body.

We’re devoting this episode to the season’s most dreaded stocking stuffer, coal. Travel back in time to the Paleozoic era, where coal starts as rotten plants. Add heat, pressure, and time, and quick as a wink from old Saint Nick - you’ve got coal! And like Santa’s naughty or nice list, learn how coal is graded into four types: lignite, sub bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. Return to the present, where coal provides 38.5% of the world’s electrical power, and glimpse at the future of alternative fuels. BYO hot chocolate.
