Everyone knows the tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman — but the real history behind Washington Irving's classic is darker and stranger than the fiction. The Hudson River Valley's lawless past, real Hessian soldiers, and a real man named Ichabod Crane all played a part in creating one of America's most enduring ghost stories.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: The true story behind “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” - plus I'll narrate the entire story as Washington Irving wrote it back in 1820! *** Students move into a relative's home near where they'll be training on the job – and not even the owner of the home knew what frights were happening in her upstairs rooms. (Two Months of Terror) *** A ghostly sentinel, a dark witch's revenge, a haunted church, and other unexplained happenings – they all seem to take place in and around a certain cemetery in Salem, Ohio. (Haunted Salem Cemetery) *** It is said that some hundred years ago, people in Jamaica believed the powers of so-called “Shadow Killers”. But who were they? (Shadow Killers of Jamaica) *** Police had stopped the investigation of Nicole van den Hurk's murder, so her stepbrother falsely confessed in order to get her body reexamined for DNA testing. (False Confession) *** Although most scientists say that traveling in time “still” is not possible, a Washington lawyer says he has done it dozens of times as part of a secret project during the Cold War. (Proof of Time Travel) *** Is it possible that the origin of Dracula, the Devil, and even the evil bloodsucking Baobhan Sith all have their origins from one source?

In Week 3 of our March series, Forming Leaders Before Leading Students, hosts Brent & David take a deeper look at the difference between striving in ministry and abiding in Christ.In a culture that often measures success by output, productivity, and visible results, it's easy for youth leaders to drift into striving — constantly doing more, producing more, and carrying more pressure.But Jesus offers a different way.In this episode, Brent & David unpack what it means to lead from a place of abiding rather than exhaustion, and how true, lasting fruit in ministry flows from connection with Christ — not constant effort.Together they discuss:The subtle ways striving shows up in youth ministryWhy productivity can become a false measure of successWhat Jesus teaches about abiding in HimHow to recognize when you're leading from pressure instead of presenceSimple, practical rhythms that help leaders stay connected to ChristThis conversation invites leaders to slow down, release unnecessary pressure, and rediscover the freedom of leading from overflow instead of depletion.Because at the end of the day:You cannot manufacture spiritual fruit through effort alone.Help Us Spread the WordIf this episode encouraged you, we'd love your help sharing it with others.

Sign up for the live Conversations with Tyler recording with Craig Newmark at 92NY! Few living scholars can claim to have shaped how we read Machiavelli as decisively as Harvey Mansfield. His new book, The Rise and Fall of Rational Control, argues that Machiavelli didn't just write about politics—he invented the intellectual machinery of the modern world, starting with the concept of "effectual truth," which Mansfield credits as the seed of modern empiricism. At 93, after 61 years of teaching at Harvard, Mansfield remains cheerfully unimpressed by most of contemporary philosophy, convinced that the great books are self-sustaining, and that irony is what separates serious philosophy from the rest. Tyler and Harvey discuss how Machiavelli's concept of fact was brand new, why his longest chapter is a how-to guide for conspiracy, whether America's 20th-century wars refute the conspiratorial worldview, Trump as a Shakespearean vulgarian who is in some ways more democratic than the rest of us, why Bronze Age Pervert should not be taken as a model for Straussianism, the time he tried to introduce Nietzsche to Quine, why Rawls needed more Locke, what it was like to hear Churchill speak at Margate in 1953, whether great books are still being written, how his students have and haven't changed over 61 years of teaching, the eclipse rather than decline of manliness, and what Aristotle got right about old age and much more.

What does it mean to be American? Most Americans can no longer answer that question. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano examines the growing civic knowledge crisis and why the inability to define American identity is the greatest internal threat to the Republic. Across the country, civic understanding is collapsing. Students are graduating without understanding the structure of government, the principles of the Constitution, or the philosophy of the American founding. But it's not just students. This is a problem that plagues all generations and represents the greatest threat to the Republic. When citizens cannot explain the system they live under, they cannot defend it, preserve it, or hold it accountable. This episode explores how civic ignorance fuels political division, government expansion, and a dangerous loss of national identity. What You'll Learn: The Identity Vacuum: Why the silence in classrooms exposes a deeper civilizational crisis. The Data of Decline: A look at the alarming national statistics showing the collapse of civic knowledge. The Dependency Trap: How civic ignorance fuels ideological extremism and a growing reliance on the state. The Normalcy Myth: Why political apathy in a self-governing republic is a recipe for disaster. The Roadmap to Renewal: Practical solutions to rebuild civic literacy and restore American civic culture.

What do particle physicists and Wall Street traders have in common? How did finance become more like physics, and how is physics now becoming more like finance? Emanuel Derman is an emeritus professor at Columbia in financial engineering and the author of several books, including My Life as a Quant: Reflections on Physics and Finance and Models. Behaving. Badly.: Why Confusing Illusion with Reality Can Lead to Disaster, on Wall Street and in Life. His work examines the entanglement of physics and finance, using memoir to reveal hidden truths about the theories and models practitioners rely on. Greg and Emanuel discuss his transition from physics to Wall Street, revealing that he found finance to be more social and creative. They also explore how early quant work required both theory and hands-on programming, what distinguishes models from theories, and why, despite some superficial similarities, the fields of finance and physics couldn't be more different. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Financial models require confidence without hubris 29:29: In my life as a quant, I think I said you had to be cocky when you were using models and push them as far as you possibly could, but stop short of hubris, and I think that's important. You ought to understand that your model isn't going to be correct. In the end, the world is going to violate it. When physics meets social sciences 09:35: I think to some extent they [psychists] confuse accuracy with point of view. Even progressive theories get more and more accurate. Newton's laws aren't as accurate as relativity, but they still, both theories, the one just does better than the other, but they still have this nature of saying, let me describe the way the world works rather than, let me make an analogy. Why model builders must explain where models fail 30:46: There's a clear distinction between concentrators to tell the people that use it that this is where it's going to fail, as best I can see. And they'll use it in this regime. And these are the assumptions I'm making. Don't just let them run wild with the formula. I think traders are smarter now and more numerate and maybe understand this better, but I think that's important. Why financial engineers need perspective beyond mathematics 28:13: I don't think one should be teaching philosophy necessarily, but I think one should learn enough to know about the history of finance and to be able to back off a little and look at what you're doing. Not just, I don't know. I have a feeling more and more of the programs focus on mathematics and behavioral psychology.

On this week's episode of the LiberatED podcast, Kerry McDonald talks with Cory Henwood, innovation coordinator for Utah's Iron County School District and founder of Launch High School, a new public high school focused on personalized learning. Cory shares his journey from public school math teacher to district innovation leader, and explains how Launch High School blends competency-based learning, personalized schedules, and real-world entrepreneurship. Students spend much of their time building projects and businesses while progressing through academics at their own pace—an approach that has led to some of the strongest academic outcomes in the district. Kerry and Cory also explore how school districts can respond to the growing landscape of school choice, ESAs, charter schools, and customized learning options. Cory discusses his work supporting new innovative programs across Utah, including emerging models that allow families to combine multiple educational experiences tailored to their children. They close with a look ahead at the future of education—and why Cory believes that greater family choice, flexibility, and personalization will continue shaping schooling in the years to come. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

What if the most important thing you teach your child has nothing to do with curriculum? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Emma Bortins sits down with her mother-in-law and Classical Conversations founder Leigh Bortins to discuss the ideas behind her new book, The Habits: Practicing the Art of Grammar. Together they explore how naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling build the foundational habits that help children — and homeschool families — truly flourish. If you're a homeschool mom looking for a classical Christian approach to raising lifelong learners, this conversation is for you. Leigh opens by sharing how it took her twelve years of homeschooling to truly understand what her husband had been telling her all along — that what children need most is consistency. It wasn't until she had a second set of young boys while her older sons were teenagers that the power of habits became undeniable. The routines she had built into Robert and John made it possible to keep the family functioning; without them, the whole thing would have fallen apart. From that personal foundation, the conversation moves into the heart of the book: a framework of five habits — naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling — that Leigh calls the building blocks of a grammar education. These aren't abstract academic concepts. They're what every good mother already does instinctively: naming the dog, teaching a toddler not to touch the stove, helping a child memorize where mom will be in Walmart. The point is to recognize these habits, name them, and practice them with intention. The episode takes a fascinating turn when Emma asks about AI and technology. Leigh's position is clear: children under 12 don't need screens at all. Not because technology is inherently evil, but because children who never learn to entertain themselves, sit still, or be alone with their thoughts will struggle with self-control for the rest of their lives — with or without technology. The habits of self-governance have to come first. The episode closes with Leigh's single most important piece of advice for new homeschoolers: find a mentor. Not a curriculum. Not a method. A person who seems to be doing it well and is willing to let you watch. What You'll Learn - What the art of grammar actually means — and why it's about far more than memorization - The five core habits of the grammar stage: naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling - Why Leigh says attending is the one habit she'd tell every family to start practicing today - How habits shape not just academic ability but character, self-control, and spiritual formation - Why parents need to self-assess their own habits before they can effectively pass them on - What Leigh thinks about AI and technology — and her recommendation for families with children under 12 - Why feeling inadequate to homeschool is universal — and why it's not actually the obstacle you think it is - How the habits formed in the grammar years show up years later in college anatomy and chemistry courses - Where to find Leigh online and which books to read alongside The Habits This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by: Summit Ministries Do you want your child to have conversations that challenge, encouragement that endure, and friends and faith for life?

The transition from high school to college can be overwhelming for many students and families. Navigating course requirements, financial aid, academic planning, and transfer pathways often leaves students unsure of how to move forward.In this episode of Full Circle, Ms. Wanda sits down with Dr. Camille Wise, Director of the City Scholars Program at Sacramento City College, to discuss a new initiative designed to simplify that journey and help students reach their goal of transferring to a four-year university.City Scholars is a two-year, cohort-based program designed to help students complete a Degree for Transfer while receiving structured guidance, academic planning, and community support along the way.The program was developed after campus leaders analyzed student data and discovered a significant gap between students who intended to transfer and those who were actually able to do so within two years. City Scholars was created to close that gap by removing common barriers and providing students with a clear academic roadmap.Dr. Wise shares how the program supports students academically, socially, and personally while preparing them for transfer to universities across California and beyond.• How cohort-based learning creates community and accountability• How preset course schedules help students graduate on time• The role of dedicated counselors and student support specialists• How the program connects students to campus resources and services• Transfer opportunities to CSU, UC, and other universities• The three majors currently offered through the program• How students can apply and what the enrollment process looks likeCity Scholars is designed to remove many of the obstacles students face when navigating community college independently.Students in the program may pursue a Degree for Transfer in one of the following fields:PsychologyBusinessAdministration of JusticeThese majors were selected because they are among the most popular pathways for students and offer broad transfer opportunities to universities.This program may be a great fit for students who:• Are graduating high school this year• Plan to attend Sacramento City College in Fall 2026• Plan to enroll full-time (12–16 units per semester)• Want to transfer to a four-year university• Want structured guidance and a supportive student communityStudents interested in the City Scholars Program should:Visit the Sacramento City College City Scholars webpageComplete the City Scholars Student Interest FormApply to Sacramento City College through the California Community College application systemSubmit financial aid applications if neededConnect with program staff who will guide them through the next stepsBecause the program has limited space, early interest is encouraged.For many community college students, the dream of transferring to a four-year university can feel unclear or difficult to achieve.City Scholars was created to make that path more accessible by combining academic structure, personal guidance, and a strong sense of community.By helping students stay on track and connected to the support they need, the program aims to help more students achieve their goal of earning a bachelor's degree.Listen to this episode of Full Circle to learn how the City Scholars Program is helping students move from high school to community college and ultimately to a four-year university with confidence and support.If you are a high school senior, parent, counselor, or mentor supporting a student preparing for college, take the next step today.Learn more about the City Scholars Program and complete the student interest form to get connected with program staff.Share this episode with students and families who may benefit from a structured pathway to college

Send a textIn this episode, I share a powerful classroom project in which my middle school students created a museum-style exhibit exploring slavery in the President's House in Philadelphia, the home of George Washington during the early years of the United States. Through research, art, writing, and hands-on building, students investigated the lives of the people enslaved there. Rather than writing traditional reports, students designed exhibits: research panels, artifacts, models, and visual displays that explored the contradictions between the ideals of liberty in the founding era and the reality of slavery within the president's household.In this episode, I explain why projects like this matter, how students approached the work of interpreting history, and how teachers can create opportunities for students to think like historians and share their work with an authentic audience. When students are trusted to wrestle with complicated history, they often rise to the challenge in extraordinary ways.Let's be friends and continue the conversation!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayX: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayOn the Web/Blog: http://www.teachinghistoryherway.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayBlueSky: @historyherway.bsky.socialSupport the production of the Teaching History Her Way Podcast by purchasing some really great history tees.

Today's episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show opens with an intense real‑world headline as ROTC students at Old Dominion University are praised nationwide for their bravery after subduing and killing a gunman who opened fire during a classroom attack. Authorities confirmed the shooter as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guardsman previously convicted of attempting to support ISIS, who killed an ROTC instructor and injured two others before cadets intervened and prevented further casualties. The show then shifts to celebrity legal drama, spotlighting Ray J, who is once again facing a lawsuit from American Express—this time for more than $78,000 in unpaid credit card charges—adding to a pattern of previous six‑figure disputes with the company. Later, conversations turn reflective as Mimi Faust opens up about the hard financial reality she faced after leaving Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, admitting she never properly prepared for life after reality TV and calling that oversight her “biggest mistake.” The episode closes with SZA’s pointed warning about artificial intelligence, echoing her recent interviews where she says she feels “at war” with AI—accusing the technology of disproportionately harming Black artists through exploitative AI‑generated covers and “weird, stereotypical struggle music,” all while raising environmental concerns tied to AI systems.

Unified Special Operations commands are critical for allied nations to maintain the advantage over our adversaries. A single command structure enables interoperability at every level, from communications and equipment to tactics and acquisition, ensuring partner forces can train together, fight together, and answer to a common mission.From the Global Special Operations Foundation Symposium in Athens, Greece, Fran Racioppi sat down with retired Command Sergeant Major Warren Soeldner, a 10th SFG legend who now lives and works in Greece supporting the Global SOF community. Warren brought home the central tenet of modern allied warfare explaining that Special Operations Forces across nations solve problems together, build trust, and operate as one.He spoke about the importance of standing up capable national SOF commands, the evolving NATO environment and the realities of today's threat landscape. From Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the long-term strategic pressure posed by China and Iran, Warren emphasized that modern conflict cannot be viewed through a single lens. War now spans diplomatic, informational, military, and economic domains, and Special Forces play a critical role in shaping outcomes long before conflict becomes visible.This discussion returns to what Green Berets have always done best: building capability in partners, understanding history and culture, maintaining discipline and professionalism, and quietly shaping global security in ways few ever see.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Introduction1:41 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast2:48 Building Relationships Across SOF Allies5:38 Joint Unified Command9:15 Defining “By, With, and Through”12:38 Russia-Ukraine War Impact on NATO15:08 NATO Interoperability Gaps17:28 NATO's Biggest Threat23:14 Students of History27:50 Special Forces in LSCO32:38 US Army Generations41:38 Defining the Green BeretQuotes“The whole theme for the week has been strength and unity.”“The dollar or euro goes a lot further for them when it's a unified command.” “The threat isn't waiting on 30 nations and their parliaments.”“It's important that NATO know, fight, train together.”“When one country is using one standard and the rest of the countries are using another standard, resupply becomes a lot harder for that country.”“At the end of the day, we're all out on the same battlefield and they're seeing what we're doing, we're seeing what they're doing.”“Russia is a huge threat right now.

Robin Snyder, a dedicated dance educator and studio owner, to discuss the transformative power of dance and its role in shaping disciplined, creative individuals. The conversation delves into Robin's journey from high school dancer to passionate dance educator and studio owner. She shares candidly about her realization that while she loves dance, her true calling lies in nurturing others within that realm, emphasizing the importance of tradition, discipline, and ceremony in ballet education.Robin also explores the complexity of nurturing stars in the performing arts, identifying students who stand out due to their dedication, respect, and ability to absorb corrections. The episode touches on key themes such as the necessity of loving the process over the mere performance and the invaluable life skills acquired through dance training. Gutierrez and Robbins further discuss the challenges of instructing in contemporary times, noting the significance of supporting both students and parents in understanding the demands and rewards of the performing arts.Key Takeaways:Emphasizing tradition and discipline in dance education helps build character and life skills in students.Success in dance and life requires loving the process, not just the performance.Identifying 'stars' involves recognizing students who show eagerness, respect, and a capacity to internalize lessons.The arts provide invaluable experiences for dealing with rejection and persistence, crucial for life's challenges.Engaging parents in the process can enhance children's success and understanding in performing arts education.Notable Quotes:"I love dance, but I don't love to dance. And that's something I've realized is okay for me.""Our students need to learn the joy in the everyday doing of the thing, not just the performance.""The honor of ballet tradition offers something our children really benefit from in today's casual culture.""Students who show up eager to learn and respectfully interact are often those who succeed, in dance and in life.""Parents can play a vital part by resisting the urge to shield their kids from disappointment and instead coach them through it."Connect with Robin Snyder:WebsiteInstagramFacebookConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter
