Chris Plank takes over tonight's late-night timeslot and, after saluting the great Bernie Fratto, he jumps right into the start of College Football by recapping Week 0, UNC and Bill Belichick's first win, and the empty stadium at USC's first game. Chris also gets into the NFL preseason, from Deshaun Watson winning the quarterback position with the Cleveland Browns, Fernando Mendoza's performance with the Raiders, and looking forward to the regular season. Plus, he gets back into college football by discussing Lane Kiffin, he tries to figure out whether Bill Belichick should be getting all the hate that he gets now that he's a college football coach, and he plays a round of "The Worst of the Worst" where he shares 3 stories making the rounds in the non-professional sports world.

Sometimes the feelings we cannot explain directly become easier to recognize when we meet them inside someone else's story. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Swati sits down with Nigerian American author and physician Nneka Oluoha to explore how fiction can create a safer reflective space for conversations around mental health, emotional struggle, family relationships and healing. Nneka shares how her upcoming novel, Live for Me, Nkem, explores depression, motherhood, marriage, cultural expectations and the struggles people can carry quietly behind closed doors. Rather than announcing everything a character is experiencing, she uses story, behavior and perspective to allow readers to gradually understand what is happening. The conversation explores why people sometimes remain silent when they are struggling, what happens when we recognize ourselves in fictional characters, and how stories can give us language for emotions we have never been able to describe. Nneka also speaks candidly about the emotional weight of writing difficult material. While writing from the perspectives of children affected by a parent's mental health struggles, she found some sections especially difficult. Her response was not to force the work, but to pace herself, walk, spend time in nature, lean on supportive relationships and sometimes put the manuscript away until she could return with greater clarity. Importantly, Nneka emphasizes that fiction is not a clinical textbook or a substitute for professional mental health support. Characters make mistakes, hold false beliefs and take actions that should not automatically be treated as real-world guidance. About Nneka Oluoha: Nneka Oluoha is a Nigerian American writer and physician. She completed medical school in Nigeria before moving to the United States, where she completed an internal medicine residency and now works as a hospitalist. Her writing is influenced by her Igbo heritage and an interest in family dynamics, identity, cultural expectations and the silent battles people carry. Her novel Live for Me, Nkem explores depression, marriage, motherhood, family expectations and hidden emotional struggles, and is scheduled for publication by Koehler Books on September 9, 2026. Key Takeaways: Fiction can create emotional distance that makes difficult experiences easier to explore. Recognizing yourself in a character can give language to feelings you have struggled to name. Human beings are complicated, and powerful characters rarely fit neatly into "good" or "bad." Silence may come from pain, fear, unreadiness or not feeling safe enough to revisit an experience. Stories can encourage reflection without becoming instructions for how someone should manage their mental health. Emotionally demanding creative work sometimes requires rest rather than more pressure. Walking, nature, supportive relationships and intentional breaks helped Nneka reconnect with her writing. Stepping away is not always giving up. Sometimes distance is what allows clarity to return.

After 15 years competing, a pro card, and coaching women through prep, I'm saying the thing this industry avoids: bodybuilding, bikini competition prep, and extreme dieting come with real costs - lost menstrual cycles, RED-S, thyroid and bone density problems, post show blues, and binge eating that hits 7 out of 10 competitors.

From doubting our doubts to sleuthing out scientific fraud, this week we revisit some of our favourite stories about humans.

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

Sometimes it's the hardest times that teach us what is most important. In the second half of this episode on The Tower and the Ruin, Dr. Michael Drout opens up about the sorrow behind the book and how Tolkien's stories helped him through. 

Tonight on Nikky After Dark, the confessions all orbit the same filthy question: what happens to your orgasm when you know someone is looking — or when you hear a stranger finish because of you.A man who cannot come until he sends his leaking cock to faceless strangers. A wife who went two years with almost no sex until her wild best friend left the bedroom door open; she sat down on the couch in a tiny nightgown, admitted how wet she already was, climbed on top, and discovered she could squirt. A fitness girl in those ridiculous little shorts who never expected the tributes — and now cannot stop replaying the exact groan a man made while he came on a video of her lower back.Riding his best friend on the couch the second the boyfriend left the house, a 47-year-old mother of three whose husband keeps asking how many people would actually bang her, the first time another man came inside a married woman, a girl who had to catch her squirt in a plastic cup during a sneaky homework call, a group of friends who decided to share one girl after she was labeled the slut, and a locked husband who spends seven days in a cage listening to another man breed his wife… then gets called in to clean it up.If the idea of being seen, being used, or hearing someone lose control over you changes the way you come, this episode is going to live in your head.Drop your own answers and confessions at DearNikky.com/confessions or Nikky@DearNikky.com.Support The Show: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/dear-nikky/id6442972835 Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dear-nikky-hidden-desires--6316414/support Join us over on Discord: https://discord.gg/MfsyKuPxMK Featured Release: Dear Nikky: Sex Confessions From People Just Like You is out now!

We always tell you not to play with Ouija boards... and then you send us stories that make us want to ignore our own advice. We're reading some of the wildest spirit board encounters in our inbox, featuring familial hauntings, lingering entities, terrifying mimics, and enough "absolutely not" moments to make you swear off the planchette forever. Stories include: A Halloween Ouija session takes a terrifying turn when a notorious entity answers through the board and seems strangely connected to one participant. A childhood game with a Ouija board hidden in a church attic leads to a decades-long, inter-generational haunting by a mysterious entity known as Abigail. Sleep paralysis, a creature with rotting breath, and a figure hiding beneath the bed all begin shortly after a teenage Ouija session. A sleepover experiment unleashes unexplained illness, disturbing dreams, a protective grandfather spirit, and a Ouija board that mysteriously reappears after being destroyed.

One summer in the late 1990s, a weeklong camping trip brought Aaron face-to-face with the kind of teenage connection that makes the rest of the world disappear. In this 7 Minute Story, he looks back on summer love, an unanswered letter, and the small regret he carried with him for decades. *Featuring the song I.O.U by Jeff and His Army of No One

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

How do we find stories that change lives? In this episode, Mark & Darren get answers from award-winning filmmaker Stephen Kendrick of the Kendrick Brothers. They dive into story techniques and the mindset behind powerful storytelling. Stephen's tips will help you to become UNFORGETTABLE.   SNIPPETS: • Use realistic context • Lead with a teaser, create a hook, and keep them curious   • Help them understand, agree, commit and become ambassadors/advocates   • Edit wisely, sometimes rearranging scenes   • Shepherd the audience's emotions   • Land with truth that matters   • Don't impress, IMPACT   • Love your audience and serve their needs   • Your experience carries weight, tell your story   • Don't impress, IMPACT   • Distill your message and make sure they get the gold   • Use rhythm and pauses   • Be humble, but confident   Stephen Kendrick's upcoming theatrical release: October 16, 2026 https://flywheelignitionofthesoulmovie.com/   Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com  

He hasn't announced he's running yet, but today's podcast focuses on Mayor Brandon Johnson's chances of re-election. Block Club Editor Mick Dumke and host Jon Hansen suggest many people are too quick to dismiss the possibility that he wins again.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

In this week's Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon unpack another selection of dilemmas involving autism, ADHD, relationships and the realities of being neurodivergent.They begin with a parent who invites an entire class to her son's birthday party — except for one autistic child. Jordan and Simon discuss exclusion, ableism, reasonable accommodations and the lasting impact of being the child who is always left out.Next, they explore another neurodivergent dilemma and the assumptions people make about behaviour, asking where personal responsibility ends and understanding someone's disability begins.The conversation then turns to the complicated ways neurodivergent traits can be interpreted by the people around us, including executive dysfunction, forgetfulness and behaviours that can easily be mistaken for laziness or a lack of care.Finally, a woman takes to Reddit to describe her husband as stupid, prompting a discussion about ADHD, dyslexia, executive dysfunction, relationships, resentment and what happens when the person you love doesn't understand the way your brain works.*The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts. Titles may be shortened for readability, and all opinions expressed are those of the original posters.• AITA for inviting my sons entire class except for one child because of his autism?• AITA for disagreeing with my daughter's ADHD diagnosis?• My speech disability has ruined my life and I think I will never amount to anything.• My husband is so dumb and I think I need to leave him because of itOur Sponsors:

In this episode, Michael Meade explores how when the world seems to make no sense, myth can make the most sense. Stories of renewal of the Earth can help us see the world with different eyes and create new contexts for facing the threats of climate change and stopping ecological degradation. Myth has a redeeming function as stories become vessels of imagination and inspiration that can open new ways to see the world.     Imagination has a way of lighting on truths that reason cannot find. Imagination can reveal inner dimensions and hidden resources in our individual and collective lives and in the world. Mythic narratives can inspire greater imagination and creativity in all fields of endeavor while helping to heal the gaps between nature and culture.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth. You can further support this podcast by becoming a member of Living Myth Premium. Members receive bonus episodes each month, access to the full archives of over 730 episodes and a 30% discount on all events, courses and book and audio titles.   Learn more and join this community of listeners at patreon.com/livingmyth     Along with these free weekly podcasts, you can now read free weekly essays and long form posts by Michael Meade on Substack.

Aircraft carrier catapult systems, Peraton's performance as the Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System, the Department of Homeland Security's luxury jets, Google's purchase of Spirit Airlines' data for AI training, American Airlines economy seatback screens, and a Li-ion laptop battery that caught fire in flight. Also, Micah's first flight, Delta's requirements for portable chargers, and the real reason they are called bear straps. Aviation News Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets President Trump signed a national security memorandum directing the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and the acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao, to come up with a plan to replace the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Weapons Elevators with steam and hydraulic systems for the construction of the Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller. Critics of the change point to the major redesign and expense required. Aircraft Carrier Catapult Technology by Era: Era Technology Key navies 1910s–30s Compressed-air/flywheel catapults (mostly floatplanes) US, UK WWII Hydraulic catapults US, UK 1950s–2010s Steam catapults UK (pioneer), US, France 2010s–present Electromagnetic (EMALS) US, China Throughout No catapults (ski-jump/STOVL) USSR/Russia, Italy, Spain, India, UK (post-1978), current China (Liaoning/Shandong), US Navy Amphibious Assault Ships Arrangement of a hydro-pneumatic catapult in an aircraft carrier. Naval Marine Archive. See also: Why The Ford Class Carrier's Island Superstructure Is Located So Far Back and Navy considers major aircraft carrier revamp to better suit Trump's aesthetic. Trump's FAA picked an unlikely contractor to lead its air traffic overhaul. The agency is having second thoughts. In December 2025, DOT/FAA selected Peraton as Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), a $1.5 billion contract. Peraton, which had little direct experience working with the FAA, was chosen over Parsons Corp., which has extensive experience with FAA contracts. Peraton is a national-security and government-services contractor owned by Veritas Capital, and is known for its defense, intelligence, and IT/communications work. (Veritas also owns Peraton Labs, the former Bell Labs). Some reports indicate that the FAA is frustrated with Peraton. A source notes that “Peraton has basically not done any work since they got in” and admits that the FAA was partially at fault because it “stonewalled Peraton's efforts to work seamlessly with FAA counterparts.” The FAA has micromanaged the project, and Peraton has failed to manage the project. An In-House Private Jet Service, Senators Say The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchased two Gulfstream G650s, two G700s, and eight Boeing 737s to be used by the Trump Administration. U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee vice chair Patty Murray (D-Washington) and ranking homeland security subcommittee member Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) are calling for an investigation. In a letter to both DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the DHS inspector general requesting the investigation, the purchases are characterized as a “gross misuse” of tax dollars. Spirit Data Sale to Google Prompts Flight Attendants' Objection After 34 years of operations, Spirit Airlines ceased all flight operations on May 2, 2026. Spirit's Chapter 11 reorganization failed, and the airline went into full liquidation. The bankruptcy court entered a Wind-Down Order covering the sale of LaGuardia slots, the corporate campus, the loyalty program, and operating equipment. For $10 million, Google won the auction for Spirit’s approximately 100 million emails, calendar data, 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, documents, spreadsheets, and software code. Google will use them to improve its products and AI models. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, voiced a limited objection to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, raising privacy concerns. The union is concerned about the confidentiality of disciplinary records, payroll history, and internal communications, noting that the deal’s privacy provisions are designed to protect consumers, not employees. The union also raised concerns about links between payroll, timekeeping, and communications data; whether there will be an independent screen for employee confidentiality; and provisions on later transfers to third parties. The AFA asked the court to reject the sale unless changes are made to exclude all flight attendant information, including training records, time cards, and payroll, as well as any Microsoft 365 content containing flight attendant data. Alternatively, the court should require a review protocol for labor or disciplinary records and communications, and prohibit using the data to profile any identifiable group of flight attendants, the AFA said. See also: Flight attendants freaked out that Google is buying tons of Spirit employee data American Airlines U-turn: Seatback screens coming to all classes in 2028 American Airlines plans to start rolling out personal inflight entertainment displays on its narrowbody fleet in 2028, and complete the upgrade by the early 2030s. American will begin offering Starlink inflight connectivity on 500 planes beginning in 2027.  The lack of screens in economy cabins dates back to the US Airways merger in 2014. Doug Parker argued that the cost of screens was not worth the investment since most fliers brought their own portable device. United and Delta followed a different path. Laptop catches fire on American Airlines flight, passenger suffers minor burns Injuries occurred on American Airlines flight 2398 between Atlanta (ATL) and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) on August 21, 2026, after a laptop battery caught fire. The pilots reported smoke in the cabin to ATC. The cabin crew extinguished the fire (reportedly using a thermal containment bag). The A321 landed without further incident.
