Podcasts about stories

These are all the stupid people we could find for today!

Our story tonight is called The Valentine in the Drawer, Part Two, and while it is connected to ⁠Part One⁠, it is actually set long before the bit we heard last week. This is actually our first ever historical Nothing Much Story, something I had much too much fun with. If you manage to hear any of it, which I doubt, as you are already very sleepy, you'll notice it is full of village easter eggs and familiar locations. It's a story about a cold February morning, made bright and warm by an envelope slipped into a mailbox. It's also about fogged up windows on a streetcar, a kettle about to whistle, red roses and marbles, galoshes stepped into with haste, and a small drawer in a desk filled with love notes.

If you've ever looked at your car and thought, “Yeah… this is a cry for help,” congratulations — this daily comedy show is speaking directly to you.Today on The Rizzuto Show, Rizz proudly flexes after finally washing his car, which immediately opens the floodgates to a full-blown investigation into everyone else's rolling trash piles. Food wrappers, water bottles, road trip debris, mystery items lodged under pedals, and the undeniable truth that your car is absolutely a reflection of your mental state. Parents are excused. Mostly.Things escalate when the crew debates whether a disgustingly messy car is a defense mechanism, a personality trait, or just a sign that you've given up. Stories surface about legendary hoarder cars, former coworkers with vehicles that looked pre-robbed, and the unspoken rule that there should always be enough room to sit… at minimum.Then — chaos strikes.Rafe discovers a wiener drawn on his car window. Rizz swears on everything holy that it wasn't him. Accusations fly. A potential Wiener Bandit is identified. The crew analyzes drawing styles, angles, left vs. right orientation, artistic intent, and whether there's a deeper psychological meaning behind how one draws a windshield dong. This daily comedy show asks the questions science refuses to.As if that wasn't enough, the show pivots hard into a full Super Bowl recap: Bad Bunny's halftime show, dancing (and non-dancing) grass, surprise celebrity appearances, respectful horniness, missed opportunities for Metallica, and Rizz openly questioning why Bruno Mars was apparently uninvited. The crew breaks down the commercials, the anthem timing controversy, AI ads everywhere, crypto confusion, and why Andy Cohen briefly caused panic in living rooms across America.The episode wraps with celebrity news, tributes to fallen musicians, festival drama, birthdays, and a classic Rizz Show porno birthday to remind you that yes — this is still a daily comedy show and no one is safe.It's messy. It's loud. It's oddly introspective. And much like your car, it probably needs to be cleaned… but you won't.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He never believed in things you couldn't measure. Not as a principle—just as a habit. Stories, coincidences, family legends… they were interesting, but distant. Easy to set aside.Over time, that distance became harder to maintain.Certain events didn't stand alone. They echoed. Help arrived, but never cleanly. Relief came with adjustments he couldn't quite account for. And while he noticed nothing unusual himself, others did—always in the same places, always at the edges, always facing outward, as if watching for something beyond the walls.The more he avoided the idea of meaning, the more attention it seemed to require. Questions formed, half-finished and quickly buried. Words left unsaid, not out of disbelief, but caution.Because once he acknowledged the possibility that something was listening, the risk wasn't what it might do. It was what it might expect in return.#ParanormalStory #UnexplainedPatterns #QuietHaunting #SomethingWatching #TrueParanormal #UnansweredQuestions #CreepingUnease #BetweenBeliefAndDoubt #Thresholds #RealGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

This week, I speak with Mary Rooney Armand, a faith-based author and speaker who inspires others to deepen their relationship with Christ. She is the creator of the popular blog ButterflyLiving and the author of Uniquely Made: Understanding and Embracing Your Identity in Christ, as well as the creator, along with 33 contributing authors, of Life-Changing Stories. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

Before Sara Blakely became the founder of Spanx, her life looked nothing like a success story. She failed the LSAT twice, was told she was "too short" at a Disney audition, and spent seven years selling fax machines door to door—hearing no over and over again. What changed everything wasn't luck. It was how she treated rejection. Instead of seeing discomfort as failure, she treated it like training. In Part 2 of our Develop Your Voice Impact series, Krista Donargo, SGA unpacks how Blakely learned to fail forward, show up before things felt polished, and turn a scrappy idea into a billion-dollar brand without investors, a roadmap, or industry experience. From there, we zoom out to a skill every leader needs but few are ever taught: storytelling. Storytelling isn't fluff—it's a leadership tool. Stories activate emotion and logic, reduce resistance to change, and help people trust, understand, and follow your ideas. Whether you're leading a team, speaking on stage, guiding clients, or showing up online, how you communicate matters just as much as what you're saying. This is exactly the work we do inside our Voice of Impact Mini Intensives, to help leaders identify the stories they need to tell, shape them with intention, and deliver them with confidence, clarity, and authority. These high-touch intensives are designed to help your voice match the level of leadership you're stepping into—without scripts, gimmicks, or overproduction. If you've ever struggled to get people to understand, trust, or act on your ideas, this episode will change how you think about communication—and what's possible when you learn to use your voice with intention. Because growth doesn't require perfection. It requires conviction, connection, and the willingness to be uncomfortable long before the results show up.

The Super Bowl sparked big reactions — from a defense-heavy game and halftime debates to fans tuning out early and sharing mixed reviews the next morning.

Inside this episode, I dive into the ability to transcend pressure, more responsibility as a leader, outdated or low frequency narratives our brains may be spinning, and any circumstance in life or business into personal power. We didn't come here to simply be a reaction to life. We are here to influence our lives and create a whole new reality as powerful creators. This is where you channel the internal fire and learn to wield it and harness it as the leader you came here to be.   Fire Horse Frequency $444: https://heartartistry.thrivecart.com/firehorse/ OR join The Chamber Membership for mentorship, programs, and teachings on wealth, identity, power, and intuition (includes Fire Horse Frequency): https://tiffanycheung.co/the-chamber Let me know how you enjoyed this episode or if you have questions about joining any of my programs!

In this episode, Candice sits down with Dr. Allison Alford, communication expert, professor at Baylor University, and author of Good Daughtering. Allison shares how her research and personal experience led her to uncover the invisible labor adult daughters carry in families and why so many women struggle to feel like they are doing enough. In this episode, they discuss:What “daughtering” really means and why it often goes unseenHow invisible emotional labor impacts adult daughtersWhy most mother-daughter relationships live in the messy middleThe difference between guilt, obligation, and healthy connectionHow daughters can create change without waiting for parents to transformWhy “good enough” is a healthier goal than perfectionHow talking about daughtering can shift family dynamics and self-worth No matter where you fall on the daughtering spectrum, this conversation will leave you feeling more empowered, more understood, and more than enough exactly as you are. About Dr. Allison Alford:Dr. Allison Alford is a communication expert, author, and speaker who specializes in uncovering the invisible labor women do in families and society—especially the often-overlooked role of adult daughters.

What do you do when hope feels hard to hold onto?In this episode, I welcome back author and speaker Kirby Kelly to talk about her new book, The Fabric of Hope, and why hope is not just a feeling—but a vital part of healing.We explore how hope impacts emotional, spiritual, and even physical health, and why surrendering to God in the middle of hard seasons can be transformational. Research shows that people with a strong sense of hope are more resilient, experience less anxiety and depression, and often recover more quickly—yet hope can feel hardest to access when life brings loss, illness, or exhaustion.Kirby shares biblical insight and practical steps to help cultivate hope when you feel stuck, discouraged, or at rock bottom. If you've been longing for healing, clarity, or renewed strength, this conversation will encourage you to see how God can weave redemption into every season of your story.Chapters:00:00 Podcast Preview01:20 Topic and Guest Introduction05:07 Welcome Back & Introducing The Fabric of Hope06:25 The Journey of Grief and Loss12:04 Understanding Grief Without Guilt15:25 The Power of Lament and Honest Emotions18:02 Coping Mechanisms and True Healing22:00 The Role of Faith in Navigating Pain25:13 Stories of Hope: The Example of Joseph30:42 Practical Ways to Practice Hope Daily35:49 A Word for the Listener Who Feels Hopeless30:26 Conclusion and How to Get Kirby's BookResources mentioned:The Fabric of Hope: How God Weaves Redemption into Every Season by Kirby KellyGet Your Copy at: fabricofhopebook.comKirby Kelly's Website: kirby-kelly.comEpisode 150: Overcoming Addiction and Habitual Sin: A Journey to Freedom with Kirby KellyConnect with today's guest:Kirby Kelly is an author, speaker, and podcast host based in Dallas, Texas.

Episode 69 of Y-Chromes delivers exactly what the number promises as CannCon, Alpha Warrior, JB White, and Cam Cooksey riff through a loose, unfiltered conversation anchored in Super Bowl fallout, halftime spectacle fatigue, and the broader cultural circus surrounding it all. The crew breaks down why the game itself barely mattered, how halftime messaging felt forced and incoherent, and why pop-culture signaling continues to miss the mark. From there, the episode spirals into classic Y-Chromes territory: raw banter about masculinity, race, relationships, gym culture, and the unspoken social rules everyone pretends don't exist. Stories range from military life and motivation to dating dynamics, internet absurdity, and the boundaries of “acceptable” conversation in modern America. Chaotic, funny, and intentionally reckless, Episode 69 leans fully into its identity — no politics, no narratives to solve, just four hosts pushing limits, roasting each other, and reminding listeners why Y-Chromes exists outside the guardrails.

An episode from our show's early days: Stories about what happens when strangers are kind — and when they're not. Prologue: Brett Leveridge was standing on the subway platform when a man walked by, stopping in front of each passenger to deliver a quiet verdict: "You're in. You're out. You can stay. You—gotta go." Most people ignored him. But Brett found himself hoping for the thumbs up. (5 minutes)Act One: New York City locksmith Joel Kostman tells the story of an act of kindness he committed, hoping for a small reward. (13 minutes)Act Two: In 1940, Jack Geiger, at the age of fourteen, left his middle-class Jewish home and knocked on the door of a black actor named Canada Lee. He asked Lee if he could move in with him. Lee said yes. In Lee's Harlem apartment, Geiger spent a year among many of the great figures of the Harlem Renaissance: Langston Hughes, Billy Strayhorn, Richard Wright, Adam Clayton Powell. (11 minutes)Act Three: How two next-door neighbors start treating each other badly, and how their feud becomes an all-consuming obsession. Paul Tough reports. (14 minutes)Act Four: For five weeks, a singer named Nick Drakides stood on a stoop in the East Village, singing Sinatra songs late at night to the delight of his neighbors. The cops didn't bust him; the crowds behaved. It was his gift to New York. Blake Eskin tells the story.

He never believed in things you couldn't measure. Not as a principle—just as a habit. Stories, coincidences, family legends… they were interesting, but distant. Easy to set aside.Over time, that distance became harder to maintain.Certain events didn't stand alone. They echoed. Help arrived, but never cleanly. Relief came with adjustments he couldn't quite account for. And while he noticed nothing unusual himself, others did—always in the same places, always at the edges, always facing outward, as if watching for something beyond the walls.The more he avoided the idea of meaning, the more attention it seemed to require. Questions formed, half-finished and quickly buried. Words left unsaid, not out of disbelief, but caution.Because once he acknowledged the possibility that something was listening, the risk wasn't what it might do. It was what it might expect in return.#ParanormalStory #UnexplainedPatterns #QuietHaunting #SomethingWatching #TrueParanormal #UnansweredQuestions #CreepingUnease #BetweenBeliefAndDoubt #Thresholds #RealGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Then it spirals into the modern annoyances nobody asked for, like updating your iPhone and suddenly every app decides it needs to re-download like it's starting a brand-new life. From there, the conversation turns into a full-on roast session about getting older: random injuries, gray chin hairs, knees that file complaints the second you try to play Barbies, and the very real realization that your body is disrespectful on purpose. But the main event is the episode's theme: substitute teaching. The hosts break down the different types of subs (drill sergeant, timid, overly-friendly, retired teacher legend), the schools subs learn to avoid, and why a good sub should be treated like VIP because the entire system depends on them. And yes, there's an unforgettable story about a fourth grader delivering a roast so brutal it belongs on the comedy tour. They also get real about teacher stress, using PTO without guilt, lesson plans that nobody actually follows, and why education has become so overwhelming that even "a normal day" can feel like chaos.  TIME STAMPS 0:00 – When Students Come Back With No Consequences 5:42 – Promoting the "Is It Friday Yet?"

Welcome to the latest episode of LIFTS, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by industry veteran, longevity advocate, and former Life Time executive Jeff Zweifel to explore one of the most overlooked and urgent topics in fitness today: men's health and aging. Drawing on decades of leadership experience in the fitness industry, as well as firsthand exposure to emerging longevity and performance technologies, this conversation examines what actually drives long-term health outcomes and where the industry often gets distracted by hype. As biohacking, recovery zones, and medical-adjacent services continue to grow, the discussion focuses on why strength training, cardiovascular fitness, and sleep remain the most powerful predictors of healthspan, resilience, and quality of life, particularly for men over 40. This episode moves beyond trends and optimisation to highlight what fitness operators, brands, and individuals should prioritise if the goal is not just living longer but living better. In this episode, we cover: • Why strength and cardiorespiratory fitness are the true foundations of longevity • The critical role of sleep in hormone health, recovery, and all-cause mortality • How men's health has been historically under-served by the fitness industry • The risks and realities of peptides, recovery tools, and biohacking • Whether recovery zones drive real outcomes or simply attract members • How fitness operators can shift from amenities to measurable results • What it really means to age well, stay strong, and remain active long term

The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. Being a cop in Baltimore, Maryland has never been just a job. For generations of officers, it has been a test of resolve carried out in one of America's most violent cities, where the murder of police officers was not an abstract fear, but a lived reality. The streets remembered everything, even when time moved on. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. For John Jay Wiley, the host of the La Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, also a retired Baltimore police officer, that reality resurfaced decades later through a candid conversation with retired Baltimore Police Detective Gary McLhinney. Shared across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and other Social Media and Media platforms as part of a Podcast, the discussion centered on a crime that forever shaped their careers: the murder of Baltimore Police Officer Vincent J. Adolfo. This Special Episode of the Podcast is available and shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. “This was something I carried with me from 1985,” John Jay Wiley, the retired Baltimore Police Sergeant said. “It stayed buried, but it was never gone.” The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Murder of Police Officer Vincent J. Adolfo On November 18, 1985, Officer Vincent J. Adolfo of the Baltimore Police Department was performing routine police work in a city already known for violence. That night, officers attempted to stop a stolen vehicle. The suspect vehicle rammed another patrol car, and all occupants fled on foot. Officer Adolfo pursued one suspect into Iron Alley. “He thought the suspect was surrendering,” the retired officer explained. “That's what makes this so hard to accept.” As Officer Adolfo approached, the suspect suddenly produced a .357 caliber handgun and opened fire. Officer Adolfo was struck in both the chest and the back. At the time, his department-issued ballistic vest contained only a front panel, capable of stopping rounds up to .38 caliber. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “The equipment wasn't what it is today,” Gary McLhinney said. “He never had a chance.” Officer Adolfo died from his wounds, becoming another name etched into Baltimore's long and painful history of officers killed in the line of duty. The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. The suspect fled the state and was later apprehended in Oklahoma. He was extradited back to Maryland, convicted, and ultimately executed in 1997 for the murder. A Crime That Followed Careers for Decades The murder of Officer Adolfo connected two men who would later reflect on their careers from retirement, men who had never worked together, yet shared the same burden. Retired Baltimore Police Detective Gary McLhinney played a critical role in helping his former colleague, radio and odcast host confront unresolved guilt and regret. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Gary helped me finally put things to rest,” John Jay Wiley said. “He understood because he lived it too.” Both men served during an era when killing police officers in Baltimore was not rare. It was a time when violent crime surged, fueled first by heroin in the 1970s and later by crack cocaine in the 1980s and early 1990s. “You didn't count years by calendars,” Gary McLhinney said. “You counted them by funerals.” Policing One of America's Most Violent Cities Baltimore City, an independent city under the Maryland Constitution since 1851, has long struggled with crime rates well above the national average. With a population of more than 585,000 at the 2020 census and part of a metropolitan area exceeding 2.8 million residents, Baltimore's challenges have been both urban and systemic. The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. In 1993, the city recorded a peak of 353 homicides, during a period when the population was nearly 130,000 higher than it is today. In 2019, Baltimore recorded 348 killings, nearly matching that grim record. Though the city saw a sharp decline to 201 homicides in 2024, the scars of decades of violence remain. “These numbers don't tell the whole story,” Gary McLhinney said. “They don't show the officers who went home different, or didn't go home at all.” The decline in homicide rates in 2011, when killings dipped below 200 for the first time since 1978, was credited to focused enforcement on repeat violent offenders and increased community engagement. But the gains proved fragile. Homicides climbed again in 2012 and 2013, defying national trends and reinforcing the unpredictable nature of violent crime in Baltimore. Gary McLhinney's Career and Leadership Gary McLhinney came from a family of firefighters but chose a different calling. “He wanted to be a Baltimore City police officer,” his colleague said. “That's where his heart was.” McLhinney loved the job and the people he served alongside. After retiring from the Baltimore Police Department, he was appointed Chief of the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. In that role, he oversaw security for the Port of Baltimore, BWI Marshall Airport, and the state's bridges, tunnels, and toll roads, particularly during the tense years following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to get their content. “Those were years where the weight of responsibility never let up,” McLhinney said. “But Baltimore prepared us for that.” Preserving the Stories in a Book McLhinney later turned his attention to preserving the stories of officers lost in the line of duty. Along with renowned journalist and author Kevin Cowherd, he co-wrote Bleeding Blue: Four Decades Policing the Violent City of Baltimore. “The book isn't about glory,” McLhinney said. “It's about remembering the men and women who paid the ultimate price.” The Book documents decades of violence, sacrifice, and resilience within the Baltimore Police Department. Portions of the proceeds benefit the Signal 13 Foundation, a nonprofit established in 1983 to support Baltimore police officers and their families through financial hardship grants and scholarships. The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. Additional proceeds support Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), a national 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1984 that now serves more than 87,000 survivors nationwide. Supporting Survivors After the Headlines Fade C.O.P.S. provides peer support, counseling, scholarships, survivor weekends, youth camps, trial and parole support, and training for law enforcement agencies on how to respond after the loss of an officer. “The agency response matters,” the retired officer said. “It shapes how families survive the aftermath.” C.O.P.S. chapters operate in all 50 states, with national survivor programs administered from Camdenton, Missouri. Funding comes from donations, grants, and continued public awareness—often driven by News, Podcast, and Social Media exposure. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Why These Stories Still Matter Today, these conversations live on across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and other Media platforms, not as nostalgia, but as testimony. “The murder of police officers doesn't end with the trial,” the retired officer said. “It follows careers, families, and cities for generations.” The Murder of Police, Our Careers in Baltimore, Maryland. Special Episode. By revisiting the murder of Officer Vincent J. Adolfo, the realities of policing Baltimore, and the bonds formed through shared trauma, this story serves as both remembrance and warning. It honors the fallen, supports the living, and reminds the public that behind every statistic is a name, a badge, and a life that mattered.

Stories are how we learn who we are, who belongs, and who we're taught to fear. Some stories are inherited so early they feel like truth. Others begin to fracture only when lived reality no longer matches what we were told.In this episode we're joined by Becca Strober, an educator and organizer whose life has been shaped by the slow, painful unraveling of the stories they grew up with. From Jerusalem to the U.S., from Zionist education to military service, Becca traces the moments where ideology met reality, and where the language of security, morality, and defense gave way to the lived experience of occupation, apartheid, and the continuing Nakba.The conversation moves through memory and encounter: the normalization of control in the West Bank, the legal architecture of military rule, and the quiet ways dehumanization is taught and sustained. Becca reflects on what it means to realize that participation in a system of violence doesn't always look like cruelty. Sometimes it looks like routine, obedience, and silence.This is an episode about unlearning, the cost of seeing clearly and about what becomes possible when justice is no longer treated as abstract. Becca speaks about the role of education as disruption, about solidarity as practice rather than sentiment, and about the importance of showing up on the ground, not to lead, but to stand alongside. It asks what safety really means, who it is built for, and whether a future rooted in equality between the river and the sea can exist without first confronting the stories that brought us here.Episode Links:Becca Explains the OccupationBreaking the SilenceCenter for Jewish NonviolenceTa'ayushRabbis for Human RightsAchvat AmimThe Disillusioned PodcastDisclaimer: This episode was recorded on October 8, 2025.

When Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez was 18, he was sent to prison for the first time. When he arrived, the other incarcerated men wanted to know if they could trust him — so they handed him a plate of cheesy tacos, and got to know him over that shared meal. From there, Goose learned all kinds of prison cooking tips, including how to use razor blades to boil water and the recipe for a coffee drink called a “Cadillac.” This week Goose shares some of the recipes from his cookbook, Prison Ramen: Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars — and the harrowing story of how that title dish saved his life.Check out Goose's novel, The Pawn, and a couple other great stories about cooking in prison:The Great Ear Hustle Cookoff” on the Ear Hustle podcast“Fixed Menu: Meet the cellblock chefs of Westville Correctional Facility” by Kevin PangThis episode originally aired on April 16, 2018, and May 31, 2021, and was produced by Dan Pashman and Anne Saini.
