Jeremy Lallier discusses Hebrews 13:1-2—“Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”

Send us a textbRyan's Song While the squib portion has ended with a bang (and some whimpers), Season 15 continues to stretch to the end of Year 2025. This ep we celebrate the contributions to the pod from one of TGTPTU's three hosts: Ryan. Exceptionally written show notes rarely get noticed by listeners and editing is the art of concealment, so given the injustices of the universe, hosts Thomas and Ken interview the pod's newest host and its six-time theme song writer-and-performer Ryan regarding his compositions, his process, and his Swiftie fandom along with what to do when a musician knocks on your front door.   The human jukebox with self-described photographic(?) memory for songs regales listeners with tales like his childhood stardom on the California circuit before the Super Bowl sold out(?), but don't worry, we interrupt Ryan to replay the bangers you've come to love between all the yabber.  Some might call this a filler episode. What's wrong with filler? It makes otherwise fish-lipped host Thomas's teeth flaps luscious and his butt badonkadonk. Also, it's a free podcast, you ingrates. You get what you pay for except when it comes to these theme songs as they're worth so much more than what we commissioned them from Ryan for. Some appreciators of dad humor might even say TGTPTU got them for a song.    So shut up and listen back over the years with your hosts.    Next week is a bye week, and we're likely on smoko the week after that, but join us in mid-December for the final ep of the season and a seasonal holiday tradition as TGTPTU covers a Christmas adjacent film.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

At 23, Sydney Towle was living a bright, full life—until she felt a lump after a run and heard the words: “likely carcinoma, multiple enhancing masses.” What followed was a diagnosis of Stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer usually found in people decades older. Sydney started sharing her journey online to stay connected and hopeful + quickly became a viral TikTok star with over 4 million followers. But as her story spread, the internet turned cruel. Reddit forums accused her of faking cancer. Brands distanced themselves. Strangers sent death threats. She survived the viral campaign against her and is opening up about the emotional, physical, and spiritual lessons she’s learned while living with indefinite chemo and facing life’s biggest questions. Sydney shares: Receiving her rare cancer diagnosis alone in a parking lot. How she knew it was cancer before she was diagnosed + her advice for others. Why she chose to share her story on TikTok Surviving a viral hate campaign of people on the internet accusing her of “faking cancer” The mental battle of pretending to be “just a normal 25-year-old” while living with a rare cancer Dating while in chemo + redefining love The mantras that keep her going. Why she no longer believes “everything happens for a reason” but still believes in kindness, empathy, and intuition. Using humor and disassociation to cope with cancer treatment Fertility preservation and cancer How friendships change + who shows up when life gets hard Finding hope when there is no finish line in sight Life lessons at 25: what really matters when time feels stolen.

This week, Craig and Alex watch Maltese Falcon and Chinatown for their noir movie Microtheme.   Next week we're watching Great Escape and Shawshank Redemption!

Why is it that we can give patience, kindness, and understanding to people we barely know — but the second we walk into our own home, our fuse gets shorter, our tone gets sharper, and our grace runs out? In recovery, we learn that the real test of spiritual growth isn't how we act at a meeting… it's how we treat the people we live with, love, and sometimes take for granted. Today we dig into: • Why it's easier to be patient with strangers • Why our loved ones trigger old behaviors • How emotional sobriety changes our reactions • Why grace begins at home — even when it's hard • The spiritual tools that help us show up better If you've ever wondered why your kindness is so easy “out there” and so hard “in here,” this episode is for you.

Podcast growth won't come from convincing the same people who already know, like, and trust you to finally listen. Real podcast growth comes from turning strangers into listeners. But with no budget for ads and no time for social media, how do you actually make that happen?In this episode, Lauren Passell of Tink Media breaks down the audience-borrowing strategy smart hosts use to get their shows discovered, recommended, and shared so your podcast doesn't stay invisible while others in your niche take off. So if you're ready to grow beyond the same 50 loyal listeners and finally start reaching new ones, hit play and let's dive in.3:12 – Why Catering to Your 50 Loyal Listeners Stops New Ones From Finding You 11:44 – The Hidden Shortcut to Finding Podcasts With Your Exact Audience15:27 –A Zero-Cost Way to Get Promoted on Other Shows Every Week Without Podcast Guesting18:59 – The Pitching Fix That Gets More Collaborators Saying Yes to You 22:36 – How to Turn One Small Collaboration Into Ongoing Listener Growth Episode Links:Rephonic.com/graph Meet Lauren Passell: Website | LinkedInRead Lauren's Podcast The Newsletter Other Episodes You'll Love:3 Low-Lift Ways to Get New Listeners Without Living on Social MediaOne Surprising Way to Reach New Listeners Without Guesting or Social Media  → This episode was recorded on the Deity VO-7USupport the showLiked this episode?

Learning From StrangersIn a culture that makes it easier than ever to avoid real human interaction, followers of Jesus are called to live differently. In this message, Pastor Brad challenges us to resist isolation, practice intentional hospitality, and rediscover the sacredness of everyday encounters. Drawing from Hebrews 13 and the story of Jesus with the stranger on the road to Emmaus, we learn how God often shows up through unexpected people and unplanned moments. This sermon invites us to see the image of God in everyone we meet and to create “holy friction” by engaging with the world rather than hiding from it.Date: 11/16/2025Speakers: Brad Goode

This week's episode does not ease you in — we're starting with chaos and staying there. First up: a pronunciation rant that spirals into West Indian childhood trauma, New York identity politics, and the eternal fight between what the word is and what your auntie insists on calling it.From there, we step into the mess America served us this week. The newly released Epstein files dropped like a 23,000-page bomb, and the internet has been piecing together names, messages, and eyebrow-raising connections ever since. We're also breaking down the 2025 government shutdown update, because apparently dysfunction has no off-season.And if that's not enough, social media has been doing laps around the absurd. A TikTok Live turned deadly. Strangers flew across states to treat someone else's marital drama like a courtroom fan convention. Meanwhile, Olandria continues her undefeated run as the internet's newest it-girl, selling out products, walking runways, and clearing naysayers with a smile.It's cultural commentary with seasoning. Internet madness with receipts. A little politics, a little pop culture, and a lot of “what is even happening anymore.”Get comfy, grab a snack, and press play. This episode is a ride — and you're gonna want to be in the group chat with us by the end.If you're rocking with the show, hit subscribe, drop a comment, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh, a rant, or a reminder that we're all surviving America together.Connect With Us:• Email: Virgoseasonshow@gmail.com• Website: Virgoseasonshow.com• YouTube, TikTok & Instagram: @VirgoSeasonShow• Ryan: @OhBlackRyan• Joyhdae: @Joyhdae----CHAPTERS00:00 Intro00:05 Hot Takes05:08 Don't Ask, Don't Tell...06:30 Vibe Check10:02 The Rundown10:42 AITA17:05 The End of the Penny21:03 Epstein Files and Political Scandals33:00 Government Shutdown Is Over...For Now36:30 Joyhdae Schools...'Cause, Ryan Don't Be Knowin' 45:30 A Ryan Sidebar46:15 Joyhdae School Continued52:40 The Come Up of Olandria01:02:50 Dad vs Auntie Jokes01:05:39 Find Us On All The Things!01:06:55 One More For The Road...01:07:32 Outro

Series: Strangers and Exiles — Preacher: Colby Garman

Throughout this series we've been discussing what is reliable and can give us hope in an uncertain world. When we dig into the reasons Peter wrote this beautiful letter to the different churches who initially received it, what's clear is that pressure and persecution were the main source of the uncertainty they faced and why Peter wrote them. We may or may not experience pressure such as they did, but at some point all Christians are going to feel like a stranger in the world we live in. So what do we do when we experience this tension? How do we live in peace with our stranger identity? In this message, Pastor Joel walks through Peter's teaching.

We walk through Romans 16 and discover why a list of names reveals the beating heart of the church: a family formed by Jesus, gathered in homes and across classes, where every story and gift matters and shows why showing up still changes lives. We honor Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, Andronicus and Junia, Rufus, and many others as living proof that God turns strangers into family and service into joy.• why gathering matters beyond streaming• Phoebe's trusted leadership and teaching role• Priscilla and Aquila's costly hospitality and courage• firstfruits in Asia and the spread of the gospel• Andronicus and Junia's witness and suffering• approved through trials and faithfulness under pressure• households tied to power alongside slaves and former slaves• Rufus and the cross-bearer legacy• every testimony as resurrection, not comparison• all hands on deck, all worthy of honor, all welcomed as familyIf you don't have a church home this morning and you want to come be a part of this church family, I want you to know you will be welcomed as familyIf you don't know Jesus Christ personally, and this morning you say, I want to know that I know that he died for me, that he forgives my sins, you can come to know Christ even now, and you will be welcomed as family

Welcome back to You Can't Kill the Boogeyman Podcast with your favorite spooky couple, Robby and Sammi! This week, the hosts dive into The Strangers: Chapter 2, the second film in the reboot trilogy, and they do not hold back! Chapter 2 picks up immediately after the first film, following Maya, the sole survivor, as the masked killers (Dollface, Pinup Girl, and Scarecrow) track her to a hospital in Venus, Oregon. Robby and Sammi slam the decision to include flashbacks revealing the Pinup Girl's origin story and the critical consensus agrees, criticizing the film for "over explaining the killer's backstory." Sammi and Robby lament the main character's "dumb decisions" and inability to "shut the f*** up," making her a poor horror heroine.

This video is a conversation titled "The History of Sound with James M Errington" from the channel Conversations with Strangers.James M. Errington is the creator of the project Centuries of Sound, which compiles a mixtape for every year of recorded sound [00:39]. The interview covers his personal background, musical tastes, and a detailed history of recorded sound technology.Key Topics DiscussedThe History of Recorded SoundThe discussion provides a timeline of recording technology:• 1853 (Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville): The very earliest known recording, which used a device to mark sound vibrations onto soot-covered paper. This device could not play back the sound, only capture a visual record of it [15:44].• Late 1870s (Thomas Edison): The invention of the phonograph, which was the first machine to both record and play back sound, initially using tin foil and later metallic soap cylinders. Edison originally intended it as a dictation device for businessmen [17:52].• Early 1900s: The shift from cylinders to discs (gramophones). This era saw the rise of Ragtime as a major musical genre [24:16].• Acoustic Recording (Pre-1926): Sound was physically captured using a gigantic brass horn that focused vibrations down to a needle, cutting groves into a wax disc [25:24].• Electrical Recording (Post-1926): The introduction of microphones and electrical recording systems led to a dramatic improvement in sound quality (capturing more bass and treble). The year 1927 is highlighted as an "amazing year" for recorded music, capturing diverse regional genres like folk, jazz, and blues for the first time [28:59].• Magnetic Tape: Technology found in Germany after WWII and popularized in the US by people like Bing Crosby [34:18].

"In the fall of 1620, the Mayflower embarked on a 3,000-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next nine weeks, its passengers and crew battled fierce storms and rampant illness. They had left England dangerously late in the season, and provisions ran low. In the ship's cramped cabins, the Puritan Separatists shared close quarters with a group known as “Strangers” who did not share their tight bonds or religious beliefs. When strong gales blew the ship off course, tensions between the Puritans and the Strangers exploded, threatening to tear the colony apart before they even set foot in the New World.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Transcript:No: Det var en knitrende oktoberkveld i byen, og luften var fylt med den friske duften av høst.En: It was a crackling October evening in the city, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of autumn.No: Sigrid slo pusten dypt inn mens hun gikk opp de store steintrappene til huset.En: Sigrid took a deep breath as she walked up the large stone steps to the house.No: Dette var hennes første husfest i den nye byen, og følelsen av å være fremmed knuget henne litt.En: This was her first house party in the new city, and the feeling of being a stranger pressed on her a bit.No: Likevel hadde hun besluttet å gi det en sjanse.En: Nevertheless, she had decided to give it a chance.No: Huset var stort og koselig, med gulv laget av gyllen eik som ga stedet varme.En: The house was large and cozy, with floors made of golden oak that gave the place warmth.No: Gjester lo og snakket i små grupper, mens en peis i hjørnet kastet flakkende lys over ansiktene deres.En: Guests laughed and talked in small groups, while a fireplace in the corner cast flickering light over their faces.No: Sigrid smilte vennlig til noen hun passerte, men følte fortsatt at hun ikke helt passet inn.En: Sigrid smiled kindly at some she passed, but still felt that she didn't quite fit in.No: Det var da hun hørte det – en velkjent melodi som kom fra stua.En: That's when she heard it – a familiar melody coming from the living room.No: Noen spilte akustisk gitar, og tonene fra hennes favorittband fylte rommet.En: Someone was playing acoustic guitar, and the tones from her favorite band filled the room.No: Nysgjerrig fulgte hun lyden og endte opp ved siden av en ung mann med et konsentrert ansiktsuttrykk.En: Curious, she followed the sound and ended up next to a young man with a concentrated expression.No: Han var dypt inne i musikken, og fingrene beveget seg raskt over strengene.En: He was deeply into the music, and his fingers moved quickly over the strings.No: Sigrid nølte et øyeblikk.En: Sigrid hesitated for a moment.No: Hun visste at hun måtte bryte isen hvis hun ønsket å bli kjent med noen denne kvelden.En: She knew she had to break the ice if she wanted to get to know someone that evening.No: "Jeg elsker den sangen," sa hun mykt, men tydelig.En: "I love that song," she said softly, but clearly.No: Gutten stanset og så opp, overrasket, men med et mildt smil.En: The boy stopped and looked up, surprised, but with a gentle smile.No: "Virkelig?En: "Really?No: Det er en av mine favoritter også.En: It's one of my favorites too.No: Jeg heter Per.En: My name is Per."No: "De begynte å snakke, først om musikken, deretter om alt annet.En: They began to talk, first about the music, then about everything else.No: Sigrid oppdaget at Per var vertens fetter, som også nettopp hadde flyttet tilbake til byen etter mange år borte.En: Sigrid discovered that Per was the host's cousin, who had also just moved back to the city after many years away.No: Han spilte ikke bare gitar, men komponerte også sine egne melodier.En: He not only played guitar but also composed his own melodies.No: Samtalene fløt lett, som om de hadde kjent hverandre lenge.En: The conversations flowed easily, as if they had known each other for a long time.No: "Jeg pleier å være litt tilbakeholden med å mingle etter det siste bruddet," innrømmet Per mens de snakket om deres siste konsertopplevelser.En: "I tend to be a bit shy about mingling after the last breakup," Per admitted as they talked about their recent concert experiences.No: "Men musikken har alltid vært min flukt.En: "But music has always been my escape."No: "Sigrid nikket forstående.En: Sigrid nodded understandingly.No: "For meg også.En: "For me too.No: Det er som hjem når man ikke vet hvor man står.En: It's like home when you don't know where you stand."No: "Da noen begynte å sette opp et lite musikkanlegg og flere instrumenter i stua, inviterte Per henne til å bli med på en improvisert jam session.En: When someone began setting up a small music system and several instruments in the living room, Per invited her to join an impromptu jam session.No: De spilte og sang, omringet av andre som delte deres lidenskap.En: They played and sang, surrounded by others who shared their passion.No: Da kvelden nærmet seg slutten, følte Sigrid seg ikke lenger som en fremmed.En: As the evening drew to a close, Sigrid no longer felt like a stranger.No: Hun og Per ble stående i inngangspartiet mens folk begynte å dra.En: She and Per stood at the entrance while people began to leave.No: "Vet du," sa Per, "det er en musikkfestival i helgen.En: "You know," said Per, "there's a music festival this weekend.No: Kanskje vi kunne dra sammen?En: Maybe we could go together?"No: "Sigrid smilte bredt.En: Sigrid smiled broadly.No: "Jeg ville elsket det," svarte hun uten å nøle.En: "I'd love that," she replied without hesitation.No: Da hun dro fra festhuset, var ikke følelsen av ensomhet lenger like sterk.En: When she left the party house, the feeling of loneliness was no longer as strong.No: Hun følte seg forbundet, både med Per og den nye byen som hun sakte begynte å kalle sitt hjem.En: She felt connected, both with Per and the new city that she was slowly beginning to call her home.No: Høstens løfter om noe nytt og ukjent hadde allerede begynt å manifestere seg.En: Autumn's promises of something new and unknown had already begun to manifest themselves.

What happens when you treat each artwork as a proposition of a world—when exhibitions become acts of empathy, and books become vessels for collective memory? This week, Ceri welcomes back the brilliant Ekow Eshun—writer, curator, and cultural polymath—who has just been appointed curator of the British Art Show 10, opening in September 2026. Ekow's trajectory is extraordinary. The first Black editor of Arena magazine, the first Black director of London's ICA, now Chair of the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group—and a curator whose exhibitions, from In the Black Fantastic to Black Earth Rising, have redefined how we think about identity, myth, and belonging. His recent books, The Strangers and Black Earth Rising, extend that work on the page, blending rigorous history with poetic imagination. In this conversation, they celebrate his new chapter and explore what Ekow hopes to achieve with BAS10: creating space for artists who can bring us closer—to ourselves, to one another, and to the mystery of the world we inhabit. They discuss the “strangeness” that fuels his research, the empathy at the heart of his practice, and what it means to keep going deeper as a writer and curator. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ekow shows us how strangeness and curiosity open up new spaces for discovery, empathy, and connection. Art is a powerful force for reshaping collective memory. Artists use memory not just to preserve the past, but to rewrite the maps of the present. Exhibitions aren't about neat lessons they are about fostering real encounters, the courage to go deeper and see the world from multiple perspectives. BEST MOMENTS “The role of the curator isn't to dictate meaning but to create space for discovery, and that the real power of art lies in shifting how we see, each other, ourselves, and the fragile world we share.” “I just try and set myself as a goal, with everything, with writing, putting together an exhibition - Let's go deeper, there's always another layer.” “If you start a project, you have to start from a radical unknown, where everything is up for discovery.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.ekoweshun.co.uk PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Ceri Hand Coaching Membership: Group coaching, live art surgeries, exclusive masterclasses, portfolio reviews, weekly challenges.

As antisemitism and anti-Zionism rise, many North American Jews have felt less welcome in the countries that they call home. How do we root ourselves deeply in our Jewish identities while remaining engaged in and committed to the broader world? On this episode of TEXTing IRL, Elana Stein Hain and author Sarah Hurwitz turn to this week's Torah portion and the concept of the ger toshav—the resident alien—to understand how North American Jews might navigate belonging, identity, faith, and the enduring challenge of embracing Jewish particularism while living in diverse societies. We are grateful to Micah Philanthropies and to the Walder Charitable Fund for their generous support of TEXTing. Episode Source Sheet Watch the video version of this episode ⁠here⁠.

This is part two of my series on the assumptions strangers make about you. I'm breaking down how your speech patterns, tone, and pace tell people a lot about your confidence, even when you don't say much. I also talk about how silence still speaks, because people will always judge based on what they see and feel. And finally, I share why controlling your first impression matters, from your presence and energy to how you carry yourself, both online and in person. Show Notes [00:58]#4 Speech patterns reveal your frame.  [09:39]#5 Silence is an assumption tool in and of itself.  [13:59]#6 Control the first impression.  [17:09]Recap Next Steps ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com

Strangers are always sizing you up, just like you size them up. Nobody cares about your story, your resume, or what's really going on in your life. They make snap judgments about you in seconds, based on what they see, hear, or even smell. In this episode, I talk about how people put you in boxes based on your presence — your look, your energy, your vibe — and how you can make those assumptions work for you instead of against you. Show Notes: [03:36]#1 Appearance is the first filter. [11:58]#2 Your racial, age and background stereotypes.  [17:25]#3 How you enter sets the tone.

In the early 1600s, an orphaned teenager named William Bradford joined a clandestine congregation of passionate Puritan worshipers in the village of Scrooby, England. Every Sunday, he met in secret with the radical group known as Separatists, who believed that the Church of England was corrupt, and that the only way forward was to break with it entirely. But defiance of the Church of England was a serious crime, and Bradford and his fellow worshippers faced harassment and persecution.So they resolved to leave England altogether and flee to Holland, where they could worship in peace. It was the start of a long and turbulent odyssey that would end on the rocky shores of New England, with the founding of Plymouth Colony.
