Watching Gidget as a little girl changed the entire course of Susie Terry's life. What started with a surfboard strapped through the sunroof of her mom's VW Bug turned into a lifetime of chasing waves, building community, and staying stoked well into her seventies.In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady, The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, I talk with Surfer Susie about growing up surfing in Ventura in the late 1950s, teaching herself how to surf before leashes or wetsuits existed, and what it's been like watching surf culture evolve over the decades. We also talk about aging, fitness, social media fame, and why surfing still gives her the same excitement it did as a little girl.Susie's energy is infectious. She's hilarious, grounded, wildly relatable, and a reminder that surfing doesn't have to stop at a certain age. If anything, her story shows how the ocean can keep giving back for an entire lifetime.

EPISODE DROP: The Badmiral (CONmunity – Season 2, Episode 1)“Hoisting the Sails of Suspicion” This week on Stop the Killing, we're briefly switching gears to bring you something a little different… and trust me, it's worth it. It started, as these things often do, with a message. A listener reaches out with a story about a man calling himself an Admiral — a leader of a global disaster response organisation promising million-dollar budgets, elite teams, and international backing. But as I start pulling on that thread… the story begins to unravel. What follows is a world of: Fake titles and real military figures Promises of $250,000 salaries that never materialise A mysterious organisation called IntSAR And one question that refuses to go away… Is this the beginning of something legitimate — or the early signs of a global con? This is Episode One of The Badmiral — where we set sail into a story that quickly becomes stranger than fiction. You can listen to the rest of The Badmiral and explore CONmunity here:

Thanks to Imron Corporation for hosting this live episode of Stop the Killing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, recorded in January 2025. What do a vehicle attack in New Orleans…a car explosion in Las Vegas…and a targeted assassination in New York… all have in common? More than you think. In this special live episode — recorded on the field at SoFi Stadium in January 2025 — Sarah and Katherine break down three recent, high-profile cases and reveal the patterns that link them. Because while the headlines call them different things — terrorism, explosion, assassination — the reality is much simpler, and much more important: They are all acts of targeted violence. And if we understand the patterns, we have a chance to stop them. A vehicle used as a weapon.14 people killed. Dozens injured. How the attacker carried out reconnaissance beforehand Why temporary security gaps (like removed bollards) mattered The warning signs that were there before the attack How planning and opportunity collided in real time A shocking incident outside a Trump hotel just hours later. Why this was not what it first appeared to be The role of mental health and personal crisis How quickly speculation can spiral into misinformation The difference between targeted violence and self-directed harm A calculated, premeditated killing in broad daylight. 10 days of surveillance before the attack The escape plan — and where it unraveled How digital footprints helped track the suspect The disturbing rise of online glorification after violent acts These incidents may look different — but the behaviour patterns are the same Targeted violence is almost always planned, not spontaneous The warning signs are there — but often missed or dismissed Prevention starts with recognising changes in behaviour The public plays a critical role, often without realising it Across all three cases, one theme stands out: Behavioural change. Sudden isolation Dropping off the radar Changes in routine, work, or communication Fixation on a person, place, or grievance These are the signals that matter — whether someone is heading toward harming others or themselves. Most active attacks are over in minutes The opportunity to stop them is before they begin Prevention is always a shared responsibility This is not about fear.It is about awareness. This episode was recorded live in January 2025 during the Imron Safety and Security Conference in Los Angeles, surrounded by experts, practitioners, and innovators working on real-world solutions.

In this episode, I'm joined by Debbie Dickson from The Ary Toukley for a thoughtful and deeply grounded discussion about what community leadership really looks like in clubs and hospitality. We talk about responsibility, visible leadership, staff education and why venues can play such an important role in helping people feel safe, seen and supported. Debbie shares how her club responded to the reality of domestic and family violence in their local area, the steps they've taken to educate staff, and why culture and leadership inside a venue matter so much. This is not about grand gestures. It is about being intentional, practical and willing to lead in a way that builds trust across your team, your customers and your wider community. This episode will resonate with hospitality and club leaders who want to build stronger teams, safer spaces and more meaningful community impact through everyday leadership.

The Mercian king history reduced to a ditch—but changed EnglandMost people know Offa of Mercia for one thing: a giant ditch dividing England and Wales. But that familiar image hides a far more powerful—and fascinating—figure.In this episode, host Paul Bavill is joined by Cambridge historian Rory Naismith to challenge the long-standing myth of Offa as a brutal warlord. Instead, we uncover a ruler who helped shape the political, economic, and diplomatic foundations of early England.Why Offa of Mercia deserves a rethinkFor centuries, narratives shaped by sources like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle have painted Offa as a violent tyrant. But as Rory explains, that version of history is incomplete—and often biased.Look closer, and a different picture emerges:A king who ruled for nearly 40 years, stabilising a vast kingdom A ruler who centralised power across southern England A leader who pioneered systems later used by kings like Alfred the Great Offa wasn't just surviving—he was building something lasting.More than Offa's DykeYes, Offa's Dyke is impressive—stretching coast to coast and rivaling Roman engineering in scale. But it wasn't simply a defensive ditch.It was:A symbol of power and dominance A political statement to neighbouring Welsh kingdoms Part of a wider strategy to control borders and project authority Offa wasn't just reacting—he was sending a message.The king who connected kingdomsFar from being isolated, Offa operated in a deeply interconnected world.This episode explores:His rivalry and diplomacy with Charlemagne Trade, coinage, and economic reform across his realm A remarkable gold coin linking Mercia to the Islamic world From Rome to Francia, Offa was playing the game of international politics at the highest level.Offa's real legacyForget the “bloodthirsty conqueror” cliché. Offa's greatest achievement was something far more significant:Creating a unified system of kingship Bringing together multiple regions under one authority Laying the groundwork for the future kingdom of England Without Offa, the later successes of rulers like Alfred may not have been possible.Listen MoreEpisode 16 – Eleanor Janega on the Dark Ages: https://pod.fo/e/11c7f3Episode 240 – Dirk Hoffman-Becking on the Holy Roman Empire: https://pod.fo/e/3330ceGuest details: Rory NaismithTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/rory_naismith
When service pressure builds, leadership matters more than ever. In this episode, Michelle Pascoe speaks with Damien Schofield about resilience, calm leadership, communication and team connection in high-pressure environments. Drawing on his experience across security, military support and the Younger Heroes program, Damien explains why teams look to leaders for tone, stability and trust when things get tough. For hospitality and registered club leaders, this episode offers practical insight into how customer service, staff culture and visible leadership shape team performance and community impact. From supporting people under pressure to building stronger internal culture, the conversation shows that connection starts inside the team before it is ever felt by customers. This is a powerful episode for venue leaders who want to create calm, capable teams and stronger community reputation through leadership that is steady, human and values-led.

In this episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal sits down with neuroscientist Micaelly Alves, PhD candidate at Temple University and a 2025 Toffler Scholar supported by the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust.Micaelly shares her personal journey into neuroscience, inspired by watching her grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's disease, and dives into groundbreaking research on microRNAs, tiny molecules that may hold the key to earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment for Alzheimer's and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.The conversation explores how brain research is evolving, why personalized medicine matters, and how emerging technologies like RNA sequencing and bioinformatics are accelerating discovery.⭐ Key Takeaways• How microRNAs regulate brain pathways linked to Alzheimer's disease• Why Alzheimer's may begin developing 20 years before symptoms appear• The role of blood-brain barrier health in cognitive decline• How extracellular vesicles may enable early blood-based diagnostics• Why personalized medicine is the future of neurological care• The challenges and promise of big data and AI in neuroscience• How philanthropy supports early-career researchers and innovation
Community is often spoken about as a brand value, but in this conversation, Michelle Pascoe and Christopher Hill unpack why it is also a practical strategy for creating better experiences, stronger leadership and deeper loyalty. Christopher shares how his work in purpose-led travel was born from a life-changing moment in South Africa and how that experience shaped a business model built around connection, contribution and legacy. While his world is travel, the lesson for hospitality and clubs is clear: people want to feel part of something meaningful. This episode explores the idea that connection starts internally first. When teams feel purpose, belonging and care, that culture flows outward into the customer experience. Guests feel it. Communities notice it. Reputation grows because people trust what feels genuine. Michelle also draws out a valuable lesson for venue leaders: community is not separate from service. It is part of service. It is found in how people are welcomed, how teams are led, how safe and valued customers feel and how venues show up in the lives of the people around them. If your venue wants to create experiences that people return to, recommend and respect, this episode is a strong reminder that the most powerful connection is always human first.

What if the problem isn't that you're broken… but that you've been handed a measuring stick that was never made for you in the first place? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Ashlyn Thompson for a deeply honest conversation about the pressure to keep fixing yourself, the myth of "normal," and how easy it is to confuse self-growth with self-rejection. Ashlyn opens up about life as a medical mom with ADHD and the layered complexity of trying to function in a world that constantly suggests there's a better, more optimized, more "together" version of you just waiting on the other side of the right routine, system, planner, diagnosis, or breakthrough. Together, we explore what happens when the pursuit of becoming "better" starts to feel exhausting instead of supportive. We talk about the difference between self-renovation and self-reclamation, why "normal" is often a flawed and painful benchmark, and how to start listening for what actually fits you instead of forcing yourself into what looks right from the outside. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like a project. Anyone who has ever thought, Why does this feel so hard for me? Anyone who is tired of chasing the version of themselves they think they're supposed to become. There's a lot of truth in this one. And also a lot of relief. In this episode, we talk about: The myth of normal and why "average" is not the same thing as healthy The pressure to constantly improve, optimize, and reinvent yourself How self-help can quietly become another form of self-criticism The difference between seeking growth from love versus from shame Why "within range" doesn't always mean well The emotional toll of feeling like you don't fit the world around you How to notice what actually feels good, safe, warm, and true for you Why creativity, play, and small moments of delight matter more than we think The difference between problem-solving and solution-seeking A gentler way to ask: What would make this feel a little easier?

In this episode, I dive into the life of Mildred “Milly” Lucas, a woman often credited as the first female jailer in Kentucky—though her journey to that role was anything but straightforward. What begins as an exploration of early female jailers in the state becomes a gripping true story of violence and political upheaval.After the brutal murder of her husband, Daviess County Jailer William Lucas, during a racially motivated lynching in 1884, Mildred stepped in to run the jail. Her fight to hold the office—despite widespread gender bias, legal battles, personal tragedy, and even a jailbreak—reveals both the extraordinary challenges she faced and the rigid societal barriers of the time.Content Warning:This episode includes descriptions of a lynching and racially motivated violence. Graphic details are minimized but the events remain disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.Learn how William Lucas, a Confederate veteran turned jailer, moved his family to Owensboro and became widely respected for maintaining the courthouse square—despite constant dangers inside the jail walls.Hear the newspaper-reported account of Richard May, a young Black farmhand accused of assaulting a white woman—a claim that rapidly escalated into fear, rumor, and mob justice.In the aftermath of her husband's murder, Mildred—described by some as “delicate,” yet brave and unyielding—was appointed interim jailer. Despite winning the next election “by a large margin,” Mildred's eligibility was fiercely contested.Following her forced removal, Mildred's life was marked by sickness and profound loss. She died of consumption in 1898, after losing three of her children the same year. Newspapers remembered her as a “good woman” and the widow of a “martyred jailer.”This episode exposes:The racial terror that shaped Kentucky's pastThe challenges women faced in pursuing public officeThe human cost of mob violence and community silenceThe resilience of a woman who stepped into danger and leadership during crisisSelected newspaper accounts from the Owensboro Messenger and other 19th-century Kentucky publications.If you enjoyed this episode or want to share your thoughts:

Together, we visit the peaceful little village of Ushi with children's book author Astrid Kamalyan, explore the ancient Saint Sarkis Monastery, and discover Armenia's towering mountains, sacred waters, and centuries-old traditions. Along the way, we learn about Mount Aragats, Armenia's highest point, Mount Ara, the “sleeping giant” with its healing spring water, and Mount Ararat, the mountain believed to be the landing place of Noah's Ark. We walk up to Saint Sarkis Chapel, take in the thick stone walls that have stood for over a thousand years, and marvel at the khachkars—beautifully carved Armenian cross-stones that seem to whisper the stories of the past. Astrid also shares what it's like to raise her children surrounded by this deep history and natural beauty, and reminds us how Armenian culture takes whatever it has and makes it beautiful.

Until only recently, treating Glioblastoma brain cancer with chemotherapy has not been achievable due to the blood brain barrier. In today's Bindwaves episode, Dr. Michael Canney walks us through how Carthera developed a revolutionary method to deliver therapeutics to the brain utilizing an ultrasound system. It is well known that the survival rate for Glioblastoma is 1 to 2 years. Surgery tends to be the primary means to combat this horrible disease. To improve these odds, an ultrasound implant is placed in the brain after the surgeon removes the tumor. This implant, or mesh, contains an ultrasound transducer, which when activated during chemo treatments, disrupts the blood brain barrier thus allowing therapeutics to attach to the cancer cells. Join us as Dr. Canney eloquently discusses the history of this treatment, Phase 1 and Phase 2 results, and their hopes for the Phase 3 trial.
