In this episode of The World of Wishes Podcast we meet wish alumnus Lauren Potter. A top junior Olympian at 13, Lauren was a relentless competitor—until a rare, unnamed autoimmune disease left her gasping for breath. After months in Boston Children's Hospital and six rounds of chemotherapy, she chose hope over fear. When her doctor recommended Make‑A‑Wish, Lauren celebrated her recovery with an active, adventurous wish: surfing her first wave on Waikiki Beach, ATV trails through Kualoa Ranch, ziplining across thousand‑foot valleys, and a sunset on the North Shore that felt like peace. Years later, she committed to Yale volleyball, mentored other pulmonary patients, thanked her wish sponsors from the stage, and found her career intersecting with our Miami home—the Finker‑Frenkel Wish House—bringing her journey full circle. In this episode, Lauren shares how positivity, family, and a single wish can fuel a decade of momentum—and why she proudly wears “Wish Kid” as a badge of honor.

Ralph once again welcomes Chuck Collins, heir to the Oscar Meyer fortune and one of the founders of Patriotic Millionaires, to discuss his agenda for reform outlined in his new book BURNED BY BILLIONAIRES: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet. Then Sarah Moskowitz, Executive Director of the Citizens Utility Board of Illinois (CUB), joins us to tell us how to fight back against AI data centers that are spiking your electric bills.Chuck Collins directs the Charity Reform Initiative at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he also co-edits Inequality.org. He co-founded the Patriotic Millionaires and United for a Fair Economy, and he is the author of Born on Third Base and The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions. His new book is Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet.There's a number of examples of how we could create a decency floor that many societies have (including, obviously, Canada) that you can't fall below those levels. Same with education, access to education. These are universal opportunity programs that good societies maintain. You raise the floor and you create a level playing field. But the reality is we're not going to get any of those if we don't address this concentration of wealth and power, which is essentially blocking us from moving toward these reforms we're talking about.Chuck CollinsSarah Moskowitz is Executive Director of the Citizens Utility Board, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group with the mission to fight for the rights of customers of investor-owned electric, gas and telecom utilities across Illinois.That's part of what we're really proud of here at CUB Illinois is that you can reach a human. You might have to leave a message, but we will call you back and answer your questions and then talk through what's really going on.Sarah MoskowitzA lot of our work at CUB is just helping people connect the dots behind the policies that are resulting in these really high bills. It's shrouded in mystery and it's dry. It's boring. You don't want to think about it after you've been working all day. And that's why we're here—to keep tabs on all that stuff and help illuminate that for folks…And it's a moving target. Things are happening at the state level. Things are happening at the federal level. And so when you're looking at your bill, it's a culmination of a whole spectrum of jurisdictions and a whole spectrum of regulators making decisions, each having an impact on what you pay every month in a different way. And it's quite overwhelming.Sarah MoskowitzMore Show Notes:CUB ProjectUtility Consumers Action NetworkCub Model Law Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

What comes to mind when someone says the word ‘mumps'? You're vaguely remembering that it's supposed to be a mild, childhood illness, one that you haven't perhaps heard about in a long time. The fact is however, that there are thousands of mumps cases being reported in India every year. And this is not just limited to one or two States — cases occur across the country. A vaccine for mumps has been available for over 50 years now — in fact, India manufactures and exports this vaccine to other countries, and yet, it is not part of our country's universal immunisation programme for children. So why are mumps cases spiking in India? What does the mumps viral illness do to the body? And is there a case to be made out to include the mumps vaccine in routine immunisations for children?

HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for essential metals and select food items are spiking due to high demand and supply constraints, mirroring political unrest and leadership challenges within the UK's Labour Party. Simon Constable reports on rising commodity prices: copper, iron ore, and aluminum are up due to high demand for data centers and supply issues. Coffee prices have spiked by 51%, though cocoa and Brent crude have moderated. In the UK, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer faces internal dissent and "plastic patriotism" protests, with talk of replacing him by early next year. 1871 PARIS COMMUNE

Wielki zaszczyt spotkał nasz kraj. Rzeczniczka Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych Rosji, sympatyczna Maria Zacharova zwróciła się bezpośrednio do Polski. Zaapelowała, żebyśmy nie zamykali granicy z Białorusią na czas pokojowych-obronnych manewrów rosyjskich Zapad 2025. Pani Maria logicznie uzmysławia, że jest to eskalacja i konfrontacyjne kroki. Poza tym zamknięcie przez Polskę przejść granicznych z Białorusią podważa podstawowe zasady humanitaryzmu. Z których to podstawowych zasad humanitaryzmu, dodajmy, tak znana jest Rosja. Z wypowiedzi pani Marusi wynika, że powinniśmy brać przykład z Rosji i tak jak Rosja nie eskalować konfrontacyjnych kroków i nie podważać humanitaryzmu. Bo przecież wysłanie rosyjskich dronów, żeby nas przetestować to nie eskalacja i konfrontacyjny krok, tylko taki wyraz pojednania, macie parę samolocików, niech się dzieci pobawią...

Learn when a refi saves money and how target-date funds work, including fees and when to pick a later fund year. What exactly is a target-date fund, and when should you move your date? How do you know if now is a good time to refinance a house? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss mortgage refinancing and target-date funds to help you understand how to quantify savings on a refi and how to set (and adjust) an age-appropriate retirement glide path. To kick off the episode, NerdWallet senior news writer Anna Helhoski joins with mortgages and student loans writer Kate Wood and mortgage reporter Holden Lewis to break down why refis are spiking even without fresh Federal Reserve cuts, who's most likely to benefit right now, and how markets (not just the Fed) drive daily mortgage rate moves. They begin with a discussion of rate-and-term vs. cash-out refinancing, with tips and tricks on calculating your breakeven point, using the ~0.75 percentage-point rule-of-thumb for potential savings, and factoring in 2% to 6% closing costs and how long you'll stay put. Then, investing Nerd June Sham joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss target-date funds. They discuss how glide paths work (to vs. through retirement), when to push your target year if you'll work longer, and how fees compare with index funds/ETFs, plus contribution frameworks (10% to 15% of income vs. the “80% replacement” rule) and why many hands-off investors value auto-rebalancing despite higher expense ratios. A listener case study (age 35, 2055 fund) highlights how to revisit your target date in the decade before retirement, how to read a fund's glide path, and why staying invested and consistent often matters more than chasing perfect timing.

In June 2024, a woman in Columbia, Maryland, took her dogs out for a routine late-night walk—only to find herself locking eyes with an 8-foot-tall, white-furred entity lurking at the edge of a powerline field. It didn't growl. It didn't charge. She just watched. When she retreated into her apartment and locked the door, the knob rattled seconds later. A silent message was delivered: You are not alone. That same month, new reports have surfaced from Alabama, West Virginia, Oregon, and North Carolina—dozens of them—each describing eerily similar encounters with upright, canine-like beings.Are we truly facing a rise in cryptid canine activity? Or are we simply becoming more aware—more connected—through the digital lens of our curiosity and fear? In tonight's presentation, we'll explore the possibility that something fundamental is happening… but also ask the more complex questions. Are we witnessing a surge of actual phenomena—or a modern myth evolving in real time?Let's begin by walking the timeline: From historic Rougarou tales whispered in Louisiana's swamps, to the snarling beast that shattered a kitchen door in Clarksville, Maryland, to a man in Oregon who swears a creature watched him release a mouse into the woods before vanishing into the trees. These accounts span generations and geography—but now, they're being shared faster, louder, and more often than ever. Could social media, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and even AI-generated visuals be shaping our perception? Could the so-called "Digital Dogman" be a modern folklore fed by virality, deepfakes, and algorithmic belief bubbles?At the same time, there are real-world shifts that can't be ignored. Wildlife habitats are shrinking. Climate extremes are forcing animals into new territories. The post-pandemic boom in hiking, camping, and rural living has driven humans into areas we once left alone. More people may be simply encountering what's always been there—or misinterpreting what they want to believe is there. And let's not forget the psychological factors: heightened global anxiety, uncertainty, and our deep-rooted tendency to anthropomorphize shadows in the dark.Still, we can't dismiss the sincerity of the people coming forward. Whether it's a mistake, a trick of the light, or something we haven't yet classified—what matters is that witnesses are being shaken to their core. And that demands our attention. So tonight, we look at it all: the genuine reports, the hoaxes, the social media influence, the science, the speculation—and the enduring mystery. Stay with me. And if you've seen something you can't explain, I want to hear from you.☕ Support the show: Buy Me a Coffee - https://bit.ly/3TRBrGM

You've been told to avoid fruit for fat loss—but what if fruit could accelerate it? In this episode, Ben Azadi shares the 5 key rules for eating fruit without storing fat, including the best low-glycemic fruits, optimal timing, food pairings, and a simple 7-day protocol that can help you lose up to 10 pounds in a week.
It's easy to assume that food affects everyone the same way. But when my wife Kathy and I wore continuous glucose monitors for two weeks, we learned just how different our responses actually are. For example, a bowl of curry or a few slices of sourdough bread would send her blood sugar soaring while barely impacting mine, and vice versa. We weren't just tracking data: we were uncovering real-time insight into how our individual metabolisms, hormones, stress, and even muscle mass shape our daily health outcomes. The experiment revealed a few surprising truths. For Kathy, sourdough and rice were consistent triggers, even when paired with protein and fat. Her blood sugar spiked above 200 mg/dL and stayed elevated for hours — a clear sign that not all “healthy carbs” are created equal. For me, the biggest spike didn't come from food at all. It came from intense physical activity — proof that exercise-induced glucose changes are an entirely different metabolic story than post-meal crashes. The differences went deeper than food. Kathy's menstrual cycle impacted her insulin sensitivity, and my lean muscle mass gave me an edge when it came to buffering glucose. We also saw how stress, sleep and cold plunging could subtly (and sometimes dramatically) influence blood sugar trends, even in the absence of a single bite of food. None of this was about fearmongering over carbs or obsessing over numbers. Wearing a CGM isn't a lifestyle; it's a short-term lens into how your body actually works. And once you connect the data to how you feel — sluggish after rice, energized after steak, restless after a late-night spike — that's when you unlock real change. If you're serious about optimizing your health, I highly recommend trying a CGM for just a few weeks. Learn what your body thrives on. Understand what derails you. And then build your habits accordingly. Because personalized data beats generic diet advice every time.
