The table is long. The candles flicker. The air hums with anticipation, because tonight, we eat like gods. This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra pull up their chairs to explore the ancient, primal magic of the feast. From Dionysian bacchanals that blurred the line between divine and mortal, to sacred sabbats where every dish was an offering, to the modern potluck that somehow still holds ritual power: we're serving up the history, symbolism, and sorcery of communal eating. Why do we break bread together? What makes a meal sacred versus just... dinner? And how did feasts become battlegrounds for status, politics, and straight-up witchcraft? (Spoiler: someone's always poisoning the wine.) Whether you're hosting a coven dinner or just trying to survive Thanksgiving, we're uncovering how food, magic, and community have been stirring the same cauldron for millennia. Set the table. Light the candles. Say the blessing, or the curse. The feast begins now.

It's a Thanksgiving miracle! Will, Jared, and Kourtney gather round the table to discuss a raunchy high school movie that released when they were the target audience for it. The movie that put Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and Emma Stone on the map: Superbad!Does Superbad still hit, or is it a lazy, classless relic of the 2000s? Is Jonah Hill's character a huge jerk and maybe even closeted? How maybe celebrity cameos can you spot in the scary party scene? Can Will and Kourtney name 9 other popular comedies from the 2000s? Listen to find out!Superbad is available on these streaming services.On the Debaser next time, join us as we celebrate ONE HUNDRED EPISODES with...

Will & Jared are again joined by special guest Alex Megna to discuss a cult classic horror film directed by the writer of Alien: Dan O'Bannon's Return of the Living Dead.Is this semi-spoof, semi-sequel to Night of the Living Dead a punk-rock rager deserving of it's cult status? Or is it an embarrassingly outdated and misguided attempt at horror comedy by a screenwriter that peaked in the 70s? Did attempted censorship of a legendary nude scene lead an entire generation to misunderstand pubes? Why are some of the effects in the film incredible and others... not so much?

This episode features the editors behind INSIDE OUT 2, THE WILD ROBOT, SPELLBOUND and NIMONA. They discuss the creative process behind these titles and the particularities of working in the editor's chair on animated feature films of this caliber.

Are potential clients constantly telling you "let me think about it" or "I want to wait until after the holidays"? What if this waiting energy showing up in your business isn't about your messaging, positioning, or the quality of what you offer but rather a direct reflection of energetic incongruencies and strategic gaps you haven't yet identified?In this deeply revealing episode, I unpack the phenomenon of "waiting energy" and share my own journey discovering why prospects stayed on the fence about joining Spellbound for years. From recognizing capacity issues to understanding the power of deadlines, I break down both the energetic and strategic elements that create indecision in your potential clients and what you can actually do about it.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How your personal capacity, both emotional and practical, directly impacts the energy of your business, including specific examples of how having a full calendar, managing life transitions, or juggling too many offers can create waiting energy that repels clients even when you desperately want them to say yes.The connection between your own indecisiveness and the indecision you're experiencing from potential clients, revealing how holding onto things too long, sitting in limbo, or avoiding clear action in your own life creates a wishy-washy energy that gets reflected back to you in sales conversations.Why the evergreen "come when you're ready" model might actually be working against you, with real examples of how clients prioritize programs with deadlines over ones they can join anytime not because of value, but because of basic human psychology around decision-making and competing priorities.The strategic shifts that changed everything in my business, from implementing seven-day decision windows to limiting monthly enrollment, and how assertiveness and boundaries in your sales process can actually attract more aligned clients rather than push them away.The courageous questions you need to start asking prospects who say they're not ready, and how understanding their real reasons for waiting (which often have nothing to do with choosing a competitor) can transform both your messaging and your sales strategy moving forward.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Everyone feels it. Cultural and political life in America has become unrecognizable and strange. Firebrands and would-be sages have taken the place of reasonable and responsible leaders. Nuanced debates have given way to the smug confidence of yard signs. How did we get here?In Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump" (Random House, 2025)Context (Random House, 2025), historian Molly Worthen argues that we will understand our present moment if we learn the story of charisma in America. From the Puritans and Andrew Jackson to Black nationalists and Donald Trump, the saga of American charisma, Worthen argues, stars figures who possess a dangerous and alluring power to move crowds. They invite followers into a cosmic drama where hopes are fulfilled and grievances are put right—and these charismatic leaders insist that they alone plot the way.The story of charisma in America reveals that when traditional religious institutions fail to deliver on their promise of a meaningful life, people will get their spiritual needs met in a warped cultural and political landscape dominated by those who appear to have the power to bring order and meaning out of chaos. Charismatic leaders address spiritual needs, offering an alternate reality where people have knowledge, power, and heroic status, whether as divinely chosen instruments of God or those who will restore national glory.Through Worthen's centuries-spanning historical research, Spellbound places a crucial religious lens on the cultural, economic, and political upheavals facing Americans today.

The candlelight flickers. You shuffle the deck, cut the cards, and draw: The Fool. The High Priestess. Death. A path opens before you, shadowed and gleaming, and it leads us into the hidden world of tarot's symbols. We've walked this road before, but this time, Alicia and Terra descend deeper—into the imagery of the Rider–Waite–Smith deck, the most iconic tarot of the modern age. Every hand gesture, every flower, every sky holds meaning; a secret language painted into seventy-eight doors of the subconscious. Who placed these symbols here? What truths do they guard? And how can unlocking them sharpen your readings until the veil itself feels paper-thin? Keep your candles close, your questions closer, and do not look away— the cards are speaking.

Sun., Aug. 3Spellbound No Morewith Michelle MedranoThe mind can get activated and head down a rabbit hole. Wouldn't it be nice if the rabbit hole was one of joy, light, and happiness? When we get spellbound by our challenges or issues, there is a way to support ourselves and change our state of being.

CBS has cancelled the top-rated late-night talk show. Was it really a financial decision, or was it done to get the Trump administration to approve a corporate merger? And will Stephen Colbert now come on the Holy Post? Horrific images of starvation are coming out of Gaza as pressure builds on the Israeli government to end the war, but when does pro-Palestinian activism cross the line into antisemitism? Historian Molly Wrothen's new book, “Spellbound,” explains how charismatic political and religious movements have shaped America, and why they depend more on a compelling story than a persuasive leader.

Hello: Autumn, 1949. Fortune editor Bill Furth, flinty-eyed gatekeeper, scans a manuscript from 30-year-old whiz kid Daniel Bell. Spots the word “charisma.” Snorts. Blue pencil meets page. Word dies swiftly, without much appeal. Fast forward ten years: charisma is everywhere. Eggheads bandy it, pundits quote it, preachers peddle it. Bell—vindicated. Since the 1950s, Americans have grown used to the word “charisma” being applied to everyone, often as a synonym for “charm”.. But what if charisma is more than charm or personal magnetism—what if it's a key to understanding the moral and spiritual crises of American life itself? That's the argument of Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump, a sweeping new book by my guest historian Molly Worthen. In it, she traces the tangled story of charisma across four centuries of American history—from the Puritans through Andrew Jackson, to Malcolm X and Donald Trump.Charismatic leaders, Worthen argues, don't simply stir emotions or win votes. They offer something deeper: a sense of cosmic meaning, spiritual clarity, and moral urgency in moments when traditional institutions seem hollow or adrift. In times of upheaval, we look for figures who promise to reveal hidden truths and restore a broken order. Molly Worthen is a scholar of American religious and intellectual history. She is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and writes regularly on religion and politics for the New York Times and other national outlets. Spellbound is her third book; she has previously authored Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism and The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost, a biography of the diplomat, Yale professor, and  Bridgeton, NJ native Charles Hill. (That last for my five listeners in South Jersey.)

Is Joe Pantoliano hot?

Creating success is about alignment, not just strategy. In this revealing episode, I share authentic client success stories from my Spellbound coaching program, demonstrating how genuine messaging and personal alignment collapse business growth timelines. Starting with the observation that both tangible results (sales, ROI) and intangible transformations matter equally, and illustrate how different entrepreneurs thrive using completely different approaches when they honor their natural strengths.I also emphasize the profound personal transformations clients experience, noting that when entrepreneurs become fully congruent in their messaging, offering, and approach, they naturally magnetize their ideal audience through truth, love, generosity, reciprocity, connection and collaboration.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How successful businesses require both tangible results (sales, ROI) and intangible transformations (mindset, identity shifts).Why personalized marketing approaches work better than cookie-cutter strategies (live launches for some, boosted posts or blogging for others).How one client turned $1,200 in Facebook ads into 23 program enrollments by leveraging her natural teaching style.Why messaging alignment creates "sold before the call" experiences with high-ticket clients.The power of simple strategies when messaging is aligned (8 opt-ins daily from boosted Instagram posts).How friction disappears when your business approach aligns with your authentic self.Why personal transformation often precedes business breakthroughs ("so much happening below the surface").How to collapse business growth timelines through authentic alignment and embodied messaging.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

What do Albert Einstein, the Jesus People,  and Donald Trump all have in common? According to historian and journalist Molly Worthen, they're all part of a surprising American story about the strange, magnetic force we call charisma. In this episode, Russell Moore sits down with Worthen to explore the themes of her new book, Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History, and why understanding charisma may be the key to understanding American religion, politics, and even ourselves.   From revival tents to campaign rallies to cable news sets, Worthen tracks five distinct types of charisma that have shaped our country's imagination—from JFK to your local megachurch pastor. Why do some people command a room without saying a word, while others say everything and still lose the crowd?   Moore and Worthen dig into the seduction and danger of charisma, its role in religious experience, and how it can drive both conversion and cults of personality. They also reflect on Worthen's own journey from atheism to faith, and why figures such as Tim Keller and J.D. Greear played unexpected roles in that story. Plus: the only time Russell Moore has ever found himself in a room full of unconscious people, all but him on the floor—and what that has to do with spiritual longing.   If you've ever wondered why we're drawn to certain voices, movements, or personalities—and how those forces shape the American soul—this conversation will leave you thinking, and maybe even unsettled.
