Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions.

In this eye-opening investigation into the most remarkable points on the map, a single boundary might, upon closer inspection, reveal eons of history—from epic tales of conquest, treaties, and alliances to intimate, all-too-human stories of love, greed, and folly. Sometimes rooted in physical geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, none of the lines we know today were inevitable, and all might have looked quite different if not for the intricate interplay of chance and ambition. By listening to the stories these borders have to tell, we can learn how political identities are shaped, why the world's boundaries look the way they do—and what they tell us about our world and ourselves. From the very first maps in Egypt to the Roman attempts to define the boundaries of civilization, from the profound shift in meaning of the Mason–Dixon line to the secret British-French agreement to carve up the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, and from the dark consequences of Detroit's city limits to the intriguing reason why landlocked Bolivia still maintains a navy, this is a singular look at human history—told through its most spellbinding border stories. Our guest is: Jonn Elledge, who is the author of the international bestseller A Brief History of the World in 47 Borders: Surprising Stories Behind the Lines on Our Maps (Experiment, 2024). His previous books include The Compendium of (Not Quite) Everything and Conspiracy: A History of Boll*cks Theories, and How Not to Fall for Them. At the New Statesman he created and ran its urbanism-focused CityMetric site, spending six happy years writing about cities, maps, and borders. He lives in London.

Allison Rushby talks to Cheryl about the differences between writing historical fantasy and middle grade fiction, her career before becoming an author, 25 years of writing books, and the highs and lows of publishing her latest novel, Slashed Beauties, which is out now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textIn this episode, Angela Nicholson speaks with Anna Sparham, Curator of Photography for the National Trust. Anna's career spans over two decades in the museum and gallery sector, including 15 years at the Museum of London. Now responsible for more than half a million photographs in the National Trust's collections, Anna's work uncovers the rich and often surprising stories hidden in the archives.Anna shares how her lifelong passion for photography, first sparked by her father's teaching and time spent in the darkroom as a child, led her to a career in photographic curation. She talks about the importance of not just preserving photographs, but also interpreting them and bringing them to life for the public.We explore the creation of the book 100 Photographs from the Collections of the National Trust, how she chose the images, and why some of the most powerful photographs come from unknown or amateur photographers. Anna also discusses her own personal photography journey, including a creative project based in her local park using large-format film and cyanotypes to reconnect with her own photographic voice.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in photography, storytelling, or curatorial work. It offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at how the National Trust is working to make its photographic collection more accessible and engaging, and how images from the past continue to shape our understanding of the world today.TakeawaysCuratorial work is deeply collaborative – it involves engaging with colleagues, researchers, and the public to bring stories to life.Historical photography offers timeless inspiration – images from the past can still shape how we see and photograph today.Photography projects thrive on consistency – regular practice builds both confidence and creative vision.Editing is as important as capturing – selecting the right images helps define the message and narrative.Material qualities matter – original prints, negatives and contact sheets all tell different parts of a story.Curation connects past and present – showcasing historical images can make them meaningful to contemporary audiences.Connect with AnnaInstagramLinkedInNational Trust CollectionsNational Trust100 Photographs from the Collections of the National TrustCEWEThis episode is brought to you by CEWE - Europe's leading photo printing company and their hero product, the CEWE Photobook that is the proud recipient of the Which?

In this Telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Dr. Bhaskar Rao Bollineni, one of India's leading cardiothoracic surgeons and the visionary founder behind KIMS Hospitals, to trace an extraordinary journey that begins in the unlikeliest of places. Before he wore the doctor's coat, he was a sarpanch in the 1990s but then life pulled him in a different direction. Influenced by a local RMP doctor and a deeply personal incident involving his sister. He says he chose medicine, not for money, but out of respect for the profession and a burning desire to save lives. Why cardiac? Because the heart, to him, represented both the fragility and resilience of human existence.He opens up about the evolution of Aarogyasri, the landmark health scheme launched by YSR, the real intent behind it, and how he came to be part of its initiation. With candid honesty, he discusses the allegations of misuse, how the rich often exploited benefits meant for the poor, and why the insurance premium model needs a serious rethink. He also explained how co-payment can change the way people look at health care in India; Dr. Bhaskar Rao takes us through the economics of healthcare & employment generation. His insights turn into practical advice for every listener—why money spent on health is not an expenditure but an income, how small rechecks in our budget can save us from becoming poor. His brutally honest examples will make you rethink how you view your health & security.The conversation goes deeper into what it truly means to be a doctor. His practical advice for young students…a personal SWOT analysis, being an observer in the field before committing, the real meaning of education beyond degrees, the widening gap between education & employment, the dignity of labour that's celebrated in developed countries but often overlooked in India. He then recalls unforgettable medical cases, the dilemma of handling critical patients with little chance of survival, and the emotional toll of explaining death to grieving families. With empathy, he highlights why quality of life matters more than mere quantity and how end-of-life care must be treated with dignity.We also explore the nuts and bolts of running a large hospital chain; the unsung role of paramedics and hospital staff, the urgent need for reskilling, the pay disparities, and the importance of continuous training. As a cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon, he walks us through the sheer complexity of organ transplants, the magic of preserving hearts at sub-zero temperatures, and the drama of green channel operations that use chartered flights to save lives. He sheds light on the story behind KIMS--one of India's most accessible and quality-driven hospital networks, and even expanding into Afghanistan. He responds to allegations about corporate hospital pricing, and demystifies advanced technologies like Gamma Knife, MRgFUS, robotic surgeries, and the economics behind them.Beyond medicine and management, Dr. Bhaskar Rao shares his thoughts on everyday health; food, exercise, and discipline. He reflects on how values must be built in childhood, and how his own upbringing shaped his worldview. From 108 ambulances to civic responsibility, from private equity pressures to doctor poaching, no subject is off the table in this raw and eye-opening discussion.Whether you're a student, a doctor, a policymaker, or simply someone who cares about health and life, this conversation with Dr. Bhaskar Rao Bollineni will leave you inspired, informed, and questioning how we as a society value healthcare.

Frosty by Mark Winterbottom The incredible true story of the boy from Doonside who became a Bathurst king. Mark Winterbottom's story is unlike any other in motorsport. It's not about privilege or million-dollar sponsors - it's the tale of a working-class kid with a dream so big it defied the odds. Frosty's story is a motorsport fairy tale that is also proof that with heart, hustle and an unyielding will to succeed, you can achieve greatness. Mark went on to win 10 Australian national kart titles and 25 state championships before transitioning into Formula Ford in 2001. His meteoric rise continued in 2003 when he clinched the Konica V8 Supercar Series Championship and was honoured with the Mike Kable Young Gun Award. Mark would also become one of Ford's most famous drivers when he broke through to beat Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup by winning the 2015 Supercars Championship in his flying Falcon. Frosty is more than a story of fast cars, chequered flags and brushes with some of motorsport's greats, including Lewis Hamilton and Peter Brock. It's about resilience, family and overcoming life's biggest challenges. In this inspiring memoir, Mark shares the raw truth of his hardest battles: the irreparable fallout with his father, supporting his mother through cancer, and pushing forward when most would have given up. From the streets of western Sydney to the summit of Mount Panorama, Mark Winterbottom's story is a powerful reminder that impossible dreams can be chased - and won. Reacher: The Stories Behind The Stories by Lee Child From global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child's first-ever autobiographical collection. From urgently scribbling out his debut Killing Floor in pencil (the stub of which he still owns), to taking a step back with Blue Moon, and everything in between, here are 24 fascinating personal reflections on his life and work, crafted across decades. Whether it is through Lee's moving account of meeting a fan years after her mother brought her to a book signing, to facing his first computer and the coming of the internet, to writing about New York just before – and just after – 9/11, to later seeing his novels adapted for the big screen . . . each riveting piece deftly evokes where he was, psychologically and physically, when he wrote each novel. Lee has clearly felt unwavering gratitude for his readers since 1997. And these honest, witty and wise reflections were originally designed for fans of Reacher who may be interested in a ‘behind-the-scenes' – or, in Lee's words: ‘why the books turned out the way they did'. But this collection is also so much more. It is the story of a man who once put pencil to paper in an attempt to turn his luck around . . . and who made every word count.

This episode of Integratives Cancer Solutions features Jamie Bennett and Ryan Castle from Cancer Playbook, who share their personal motivations and experiences that led to the creation of their platform. Jamie, a 20-year endometriosis patient, describes how her own health challenges and the story of Jim Garre's son's battle with brain cancer inspired her to explore alternative therapies, particularly full extract cannabis oil (FECO), to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Ryan, a public health researcher, recounts his initial skepticism and how witnessing his father's positive transformation from opioid use to medical cannabis convinced him of its potential. The conversation delves into the scientific foundation of Cancer Playbook, highlighting a large-scale meta-analysis conducted by Ryan. This study involved over 10,000 individuals and 1.8 million data points, revealing a 300% higher consensus in support of medical cannabis for cancer treatment compared to arguments against it. The team emphasizes the importance of rigorous vetting and peer review to ensure the reliability of their findings, which form the basis for the guidance they provide to patients. A key innovation discussed is the development of an interactive bot on the Cancer Playbook website, which leverages the meta-analysis data to offer personalized, evidence-based guidance to cancer patients. The bot provides information on dosage, scheduling, and potential adverse effects, and is designed to match patients with similar profiles to ensure relevant and consistent support. Weekly update surveys and a strong sense of community further enhance the patient experience. The episode also addresses concerns about the estrogenic effects of cannabis on certain cancers, with Jamie sharing her positive experiences and Ryan acknowledging the need for ongoing research in this area. The team stresses the importance of exploring a variety of cannabis products and approaches to support different cancer types, and they remain committed to expanding their research and support network. Throughout the discussion, real-life success stories are shared, including cases where FECO contributed to significant improvements in cancer outcomes. The hosts encourage cancer survivors to share their stories to inspire and support others, underscoring the power of community and evidence-based guidance in navigating cancer treatment with medical cannabis.Jamie and Ryan from Cancer Playbook share how personal experiences with chronic illness and cancer inspired their mission to help patients using full extract cannabis oil (FECO).The team conducted a meta-analysis of over 10,000 individuals and 1.8 million data points, finding 300% more support for medical cannabis in cancer treatment than arguments against it.Cancer Playbook developed an interactive bot that provides personalized, evidence-based guidance to cancer patients based on patient-reported outcomes and scientific research.The episode addresses concerns about cannabis's estrogenic effects on certain cancers and highlights the need for ongoing research and individualized approaches.Real-life success stories are shared, including cases where FECO contributed to significant improvements in cancer outcomes, emphasizing the importance of community and evidence-based support.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

A replay from VISIONS Summit: NYC featuring YouTuber and architect Dami Lee.From the stage of VISIONS Summit at MoMA, Dami Lee reveals why the most chaotic spaces often teach us the most about what it means to be human. As a licensed architect turned YouTube storyteller with over 200 million views, she's discovered that making architecture approachable isn't about simplifying complexity, it's about finding the human stories embedded in our built environment. Through her exploration of places like Kowloon Walled City, Dami demonstrates how the most profound spaces emerge not from master plans but from organic human adaptation, creating connections and meaning through what philosophers call "rhizomic growth."When a Deeper Connection Is Better Than a Wider OneKey takeaways:Human framing trumps technical perfection: No matter how many hours spent making content beautiful or technically accurate, none of it matters without taking time to make it human and frame architecture from a human angle.Personal investment drives authentic storytelling: Topics perform best when team members have genuine personal connections to the subject matter, leading to deeper research and more compelling narratives.Rhizomic processes create unexpected connections: Non-linear, seemingly inefficient creative processes allow for serendipitous discoveries and cross-categorical insights that wouldn't emerge through structured approaches.Extremes ignite curiosity: Audiences gravitate toward architectural stories that push boundaries—like the world's densest city—because extremes reveal fundamental truths about human behavior and adaptation.Associated Links:Check out Dami Lee on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

*Folks, this IS a Tangent Heavy episode. So if you're someone vehemently against taking the scenic route, you will almost certainly not enjoy this episode (or 90% of this show if we're being honest). Toodles.* There's something about urban legends that sticks to the skin. You hear them once—around a campfire, at a sleepover, whispered down a darkened hallway—and they never quite leave you. They're the stories we half-believe, even when we swear we don't. The ones we dare each other to test, knowing deep down that something might be listening. This week, we're pulling back the curtain on some of the most infamous legends that have haunted us for generations. But these aren't just stories told to scare. Behind each one lies a sliver of truth—a real event, a real person, a real moment in time when the ordinary world cracked open and let something else in. From a killer lurking in lovers' lanes with a hook for a hand, to a man in a rabbit suit wielding an axe in the woods of Virginia… from ghostly girls who vanish from car seats to the blood-soaked face you might just see staring back from your mirror—these tales didn't come from nowhere. And tonight, we're digging up the roots. So sit back, Settle in, And remember—every legend starts with someone, somewhere, who swears… it really happened. We'll see you on the inside… ----- TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - The True Stories Behind Urban Legends 1:03 - Intro 2:23 - Let's Talk Urban Legends  2:46 - Support The Show, Share & Socials 4:56 - Did You Have a Local Urban Legend?

Self-deprecation and calamities make fishing stories relatable. Fishing culture includes everyone, from casual anglers to seasoned pros.

The sarcastic fringe head is a unique and aggressive fish. Dried cod heads are a common snack in Norway, but not commonly chewed. Joe's favorite fish to catch is whatever he's currently fishing for. Toe-tog, or blackfish, is one of Joe's favorite fish to eat. Family fishing adventures create lasting memories. Stinging nettle can be a nutritious addition to fish dishes. Avoid making fishing gear lucky to prevent loss and disappointment. Joe is a forager first, angler third, enjoying the outdoors. Joe is always looking for new projects and opportunities in fishing.
