*triggers: contains description of physical assault Katherine Parkinson is the two‑time BAFTA‑winning actor beloved for The IT Crowd, Doc Martin, Humans and most recently, Rivals, the hit Jilly Cooper adaptation that became an international Emmy winner. Fresh from her latest BAFTA win, she joins Elizabeth to reflect on the unexpected turns that shaped her life – from Surbiton to Oxford, from comedy to chaos, and from self‑doubt to a hard‑won sense of confidence. In this episode, we talk about her childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut, how her brothers are convinced she's in MI5 (we will never know), the class anxieties that coloured her university years, her lifelong battle with disorganisation and the pressure she put on herself to “earn her place”. Katherine also opens up – for the first time – about a violent assault she minimised for years, the shame she carried and how motherhood has reframed her understanding of fear, safety and resilience. We also explore the joy she found in acting, the liberation of embracing her own contradictions, the friendships that sustained her and the work that goes into rebuilding after trauma. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:48 Northern Ireland Roots 04:06 Why Rivals Works 05:34 Class and Oxford 08:08 Lizzie and Fred Fred 10:51 Jilly Cooper Loss 14:03 Failure One Disorganised 15:46 Exam Breakdown Story 19:14 Fear of Winning 20:52 MI5 and Astronaut Dreams 22:07 Academia vs Acting 23:07 Pressure and Perfectionism 23:59 Choosing the Actor Path 25:23 Facing Unprocessed Trauma 26:04 Assault 30:03 Shame and Cultural Context 33:45 Anxiety and Motherhood 38:56 Anger and Survival Instincts 40:08 Oboe Failure and Braces 42:21 Failing Freely as an Actor 43:49 Happiness and Goodbye

People increasingly question whether there is any hope for the world at this time. In this episode of Living Myth, Meade suggests that it is the nature of hope to become lost, before being found at another level of life. In the myth of Pandora, hope only appears after all possible troubles have been unleashed upon the world. There is a deeper sense of hope that can arise when "all hope is lost."     At critical times things must seem hopeless before the "second level of hope" can be found again in the depths of the human heart and soul. This sense of "active hope" depends upon the power of the soul to imagine meaningful changes that can help renew the force of life on earth.     The underlying spirit of life and the true resiliency of the soul are connected to the power of vertical imagination that rises from the original ground of being. In the dark times, when it seems that Pandora's Box is open 24 hours a day, it is a deeper sense of hope and a greater sense of imagination that we long for and that the world needs in order to transform and become renewed.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

When's the last time you got caught up in a mental spiral, going over and over a past event or constantly reimagining a future one? Research shows we're more prone to this habit than ever. That cycle that peaks your anxiety and distracts you from what's happening at the moment is called rumination, and my guest wrote a book all about it. Donna Jackson Nakazawa is an acclaimed science journalist whose new book, “Mind Drama: The Science of Rumination and How to Outwit Your Inner Defeatist,” explores the neuroscience behind why we fall into these repetitive patterns. Her knowledge of the topic is informed by all the latest research, and she has even developed her own framework for dealing with it; I experience that approach first-hand, right in the middle of our conversation.  This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants the tools to break out of those stressful spirals once and for all. Stop spiraling and ramp up your power over your own mind: The role your childhood plays in shaping the stories you tell yourself; Find your voice by naming and relinquishing your negative thought patterns; Why rumination isn't just overthinking; The radical reparenting approach to rewiring your mind.

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.

Kerry Lutz and Gregory Mannarino discuss why they believe the financial, political, and media systems are rapidly breaking down — and what individuals can still do to protect themselves before the next major crisis hits. From currency debasement and market manipulation to AI surveillance, stablecoins, and centralized control, they warn that the system is becoming increasingly rigged against the average person. The conversation covers perpetual war, Federal Reserve policy, asset inflation, and the growing transfer of wealth away from the middle class. Greg and Kerry explain why higher interest rates, hard assets, financial independence, and emotional discipline may become critical in the years ahead. Kerry also details ongoing legal and regulatory efforts, including federal lawsuits, petitions with Florida regulators, and a Public Service Commission hearing focused on forcing utility companies to provide access to real customer service representatives instead of endless automation. They also discuss media manipulation, censorship, independent media platforms like Substack, and why grassroots action and personal responsibility may be the only path left to restoring economic freedom.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by cultural historian Murray Pittock to discuss his new book, The Shortest History of Scotland – a concise but richly detailed journey through two millennia of Scottish history, from the Picts to the present day.Scotland's geography – the “land of the mountain and the flood”, in Walter Scott's phrase – made it virtually impenetrable until modern roads and railways. For centuries, the sea was the highway, and Scotland's east‑coast ports looked as much to continental Europe as to England. Understanding that terrain is key to understanding how Scotland became a state in historical time – and why the union with England was never a foregone conclusion.Murray explains the origins of his book, written as part of the bestselling Shortest History series, and the opportunity it offered to refresh a field dominated by either heavy tomes or outdated accounts. He focuses not just on kings and battles, but on people's lived lives, culture, and the built environment – while also signposting readers towards deeper dives, such as the Declaration of Arbroath.We then turn to the present. The story of modern Scottish nationalism begins with Winnie Ewing's shock by‑election victory in Hamilton in 1967, and her slogan “Stop the world – Scotland wants to get on”. The post‑imperial era marginalised Scotland's distinctive identity; Britishness, once a broad, inclusive identity shared by Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders, suddenly became something narrower and more insular. The memory of the two world wars – particularly the myth of 1940 as an English, south‑east England story – has played a complex role in the union's longevity.Murray explores the drivers of Scottish nationalism: economic anxiety, a desire for democratic control, and an internationalist outlook that became visible in the 2016 Brexit vote, where Scotland's pattern diverged dramatically from England's. He also reflects on the 2014 independence referendum – where pensions and currency fears likely tipped the balance – and on devolution, which Labour hoped would “kill nationalism stone dead” but which failed partly because Scottish Labour never truly became a nationalist party.We also discuss the formation of the union in 1707, a vote “forced” by economic weakness, English obstruction of Scottish overseas trade, and a lack of alternatives. The mercantile class later profited handsomely from the British Empire, shifting Scotland's economic centre of gravity from east to west – from the European ports to Glasgow and the American trade.Topics covered:The geography of Scotland and its historical impactWalter Scott's “land of the mountain and the flood”The Declaration of ArbroathWinnie Ewing and the birth of modern Scottish nationalismPost‑imperial Britishness and the Festival of Britain (1951)The memory of the world wars and its role in the unionDrivers of Scottish nationalism: economic, democratic, internationalistThe 2014 independence referendum and the currency/pensions questionDevolution: Labour's miscalculationThe 1707 union: economic weakness, Darien, and a forced voteMurray Pittock's The Shortest History of Scotland is available now from all good bookshops.

Liam focuses on the unfolding fiscal emergency, explaining how sovereign bond markets are reeling from a protracted Labour leadership battle, where all the major contenders are looking to increase borrowing and spending even further. Meanwhile Allison shares her deep frustrations with the current state of the nation, highlighting the desperate struggles of local community hubs and family pubs fighting to survive under the weight of punishing economic changes.

How do you navigate the unexpected when your child comes out as LGBTQ+, which completely redefines your understanding of their world? For Heather Hester, the journey began in 2017 when her 16-year-old son came out as gay. What followed was a raw, transformative period marked by intense mental health struggles, substance use issues, and two suicide attempts for her son, forcing Heather to confront and unlearn bias inherited from her conservative, evangelical background.This is more than a coming-out story—it's an urgent call to action for every parent and ally quietly searching for a shame-free space to navigate similar experiences.In this vital conversation, we sit down with Heather Hester—author of Parenting with Pride: Unlearn Bias and Embrace, Empower and Love Your LGBTQ+ Teen—to explore her family's evolution and how grief transformed into healing and rebirth. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:The essential difference between acknowledging and embracing a new reality.The profound ways grief can surface in parenting, and how to work through its non-linear layers.The four transformations (Embrace, Educate/Unlearn, Empower, and Love) that purposefully guide parents toward fully supporting and loving their LGBTQ+ child.How to let go of fear and choose to lead with humanity, becoming a catalyst for change in your own community.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt292w1bVlY&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvohLearn how her family became freer and more fun after removing the constraints of who they "should be," proving that when you commit to healing, joy follows.

Newsom's former chief of staff just pleaded guilty to federal fraud — FBI wiretaps, a $225,000 scheme run through the frontrunner for governor's own campaign account — and Xavier Becerra still won't answer whether he knew. This week Phil and Camille break down everything Sacramento hoped you'd miss before the June 2nd primary.In the first story, they walk through the guilty plea of Dana Williamson — Newsom's chief of staff from 2022 to 2024 — who conspired with Becerra's own chief of staff Sean McCluskie to drain $225,000 from Becerra's dormant campaign account. The investigation involved FBI wiretaps. Federal prosecutors originally came to Williamson seeking information about Newsom. And at the final governor's debate, Becerra still couldn't guarantee she couldn't connect him to the case.Then: California Democrats built the jungle primary system. They benefited from it for years — two Democrats on the same Senate ballot in 2016, two Democrats again in 2018. Now that the system might lock them out of the November governor's race, they've filed an initiative to tear it down — and found Republican allies to help. Phil and Camille get into what ranked choice voting and other alternatives actually look like, and whether any electoral reform rushed through two weeks before a primary deserves to be taken seriously.No team. No tribe. Just the receipts.

In 1947, a new civilian intelligence agency was established: the CIA. But a series of intelligence failures undermined its credibility. The White House and Congress were up in arms, and a new mission was formed- to recruit Ivy League professors with uncanny skills. Leaving their so-called Ivory Tower, the academics brought new ways of thinking about national security to the CIA, helping the United States navigate the complexities of the Cold War. In one year, the academics' analysis revolutionized the service, cementing the CIA as one of America's finest agencies. Political scientist Peter Grace, author of The Intelligence Intellectuals, sits down with Sasha to unpack how these bright minds shaped the Agency.

If you've spent any time in photography Facebook groups, you've seen it. Anonymous posts asking photographers to drop their rates, share their portfolios, and compete publicly for work with almost zero project detail. And photographers… lining up to compete. In this episode, James Patrick breaks down why this system is broken, how it commoditizes creative work, and why it pushes talented photographers into a race to the bottom that nobody wins. He unpacks the hidden power imbalance behind anonymous job posts, why "just drop your rate" is a red flag for serious creative work, and what separates high-value client relationships from price-shopping transactions. More importantly, he lays out a better way forward: how professional photographers can protect their pricing, qualify clients properly, and build relationships that lead to better projects, better pay, and more creative control. If you're tired of undervaluing your work or competing in public bidding wars, this episode will reframe how you think about pricing, clients, and creative business growth. Key topics covered: Why anonymous job posts are a major red flag How public bidding destroys pricing integrity The psychology behind "race to the bottom" pricing What real client relationships look like How to qualify clients before quoting work Why pricing should never come before understanding scope SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@jamespatrickphotography

Tom outlines the Substack's monthly themes and posting schedule, starting in May, including a first theme on “Fractured Fathers,” plus Tolkien posts and fiction.

Today we're chatting with Rachel Koffsky Parker, Senior Vice President and International Head of Department for Handbags and Accessories at Christie's auction house — one of the most recognized voices in the global luxury handbag market and, an auctioneer herself, having taken handbag sales in New York, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong. After internships at the Met and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Rachel found her way to Christie's in 2014, just as handbags were becoming a formalized auctionhouse category. Since, she has helped build the handbag category from the ground up, growing into what is now one of the most strategically important departments in the house — responsible for bringing in 12% of all new Christie's clients and selling in excess of forty million dollars in handbags worldwide last year alone. Over the last decade plus, she's brought the first single-owner handbag collections to market in both Milan and Paris, set world auction records for Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, and helped transform the way an entire generation of collectors thinks about handbags — not just as accessories, but as objects with history, rarity, provenance, and serious investment value. On today's episode, we get into all of it: how she built her expertise by cataloging up to a hundred bags a week, what actually drives value at auction, the record-breaking lots that still give her chills, and why a little wear and patina has gone from a liability to a badge of honor in the eyes of today's collectors. All that and more! Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [4:00] Rachel grew up obsessed with Lucky Magazine, loving all things fashion and handbags.  [6:35] How her love of luxury handbags led to a career in the auction house.  [9:16] The first Christie's auction to include handbags was in 1978, but it wasn't until 2014 that handbags became a formalized category at the house.  [10:25] Handbags now bring in 12% of all new Christie's clients, making it one of the most strategically important departments in the house.  [12:20] Christie's customers began to understand handbags as an asset class.  [18:06] What drives pre-sale estimates, and what provenance means in the auction world   [23:55] Christie's world-record handbag auctions [31:43] Current trends on the secondary luxury market  [36:17] The upcoming Christie's luxury week sale with over 250 lots  [38:10] What goes into producing an auction  [40:32] Rachel's Holy Grail lot  [42:22] The personal pieces Rachel will never part with  EPISODE MENTIONS:  Christie's @christiesinc @christieshandbags Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton pumpkin bag  Hermès Kelly Doll  Upcoming Handbag auction: 28 May to 11 June.  LET'S CONNECT: 

When a celebrity files a lawsuit citing harassment and a hostile work environment, her PR team is supposed to make her the sympathetic figure. Blake Lively's team did the opposite.Everyone is covering the lawsuit. Molly is covering the PR collapse underneath it, and the numbers tell a story the legal coverage is missing entirely.We dissect:Why the "grab your friends, wear your florals" press tour was a five-alarm fire from week oneHow cross-promoting Betty Buzz during a domestic violence film became the first crack in the foundationWhat 22,000+ tracked articles reveal about who is actually winning this fight (it is not the plaintiff)Why Ryan Reynolds' word cloud has more Wrexham than lawsuit, and what that meansThe Met Gala moment that exposed who is really being protected in this marriageWhy "crisis publicist" is a contradiction in terms, and the mistake business owners keep repeatingWhat every public figure should learn from watching this strategy collapse in real timeThis is not a recap of the case. It is a forensic look at the PR machine behind it. When publicity becomes the strategy instead of the byproduct, reputation is what pays.What you'll learn:How to spot the difference between a publicist and a crisis manager before you need oneWhy winning the news cycle and losing the reputation are not mutually exclusiveWhat "narrative substitution" looks like when one spouse uses the other as a shieldHow to read sentiment data and word clouds to know if your strategy is actually workingThe full six-segment deep dive, with all the data, the Leslie Sloane and Bryan Freedman breakdowns, and Molly's full theory on who actually drove this from day one, is up now on Substack for members.

This week I want to introduce you to a woman you haven't met yet. And before I tell you about Madame J, I have to tell you about Elle. Elle was my imaginary friend when I was eight. A 1920s movie star with a jet black bob, cupid bow lips, and apartments in Paris, Hollywood, and New York City. Whenever I opened the imaginary door to her apartment I never knew which city I'd land in. Sometimes I held up a bottle of Palmolive soap and accepted awards alongside her while I did the dishes. She was the fun place to go. Madame J is not Elle. But there are qualities to her that remind me of Elle, as if these were real women who simply knew each other. This week I talk about: The childhood imaginary cast: Berg, Peter, Betty, and Elle What this season of life made possible that my eight-year-old imagination couldn't Why I wanted to write women I'd actually want to spend time with. She's not nice, but she's kind.

Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. They have access to 30 of their 33 missile launching sites along the Persian Gulf coastline. They have tens of thousands of drones, mobile missile launchers moved inland, and have already struck a Qatari natural gas facility that will take years to repair. The American military umbrella that once protected Gulf State energy infrastructure has been exposed as ineffective. Hawk walks through Kagan's full argument, including what a post-American world order looks like when China and Russia emerge stronger, when Gulf States and European nations begin normalizing relations with Iran, and when America's weapons stockpiles are critically depleted after six weeks of nonstop bombing with no clear strategic objective from the start. Fox News analyst and retired Army General Jack Keane says the U.S. is preparing to return to full-scale combat operations. Trump has reportedly asked the intelligence community to assess what it would look like to simply declare victory and leave. The U.S. has also just rejected Iran's latest peace deal. The nuclear question is real. Israel has the Samson Option. Trump is backed into a corner. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu has shown restraint when losing.

A-1. Killer-diller. Outta sight. All that and a bag of chips. This slaps! From the 1940s to the early 2020s, these words and phrases are all generational slang that means the same thing—“excellent.” In this episode, Chris speaks with linguist and content creator Adam Aleksic on how technology and algorithms are changing language. They also discuss which age-group is experimenting the most with language, how social media is transforming how the deaf community communicates, and whether going completely offline does more harm than good.Featured guestFollow Adam Aleksic on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and at etymologynerd.com/Subscribe to Adam's Substack, The Etymology NerdBuy Adam's book AlgospeakConnect with the teamFollow Chris on Instagram and at chrisduffycomedy.comBuy Chris' book, Humor Me Watch How to Be a Better Human videos on YouTube at TEDAudioCollectiveFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts Hosted on Acast.

Most weeks now I get an email from someone who's sure they've believed a lie their whole life — that the faith holding their family, their friendships, their sense of self together is collapsing, and they don't know who they are without it. I've been that person more than once. So in this essay I want to say the thing I wish someone had said to me: what's dying might not be your faith. It might just be your idea of what your faith was. Drawing on Whitehead's four stages of religion — ritual, emotion, belief, rationalization — I make the case that belief-centered Christianity is a late, late development, maybe 200 years old in its current intensity, not 2,000. For most of human history religion was bodies moving together, food shared, the dead remembered. The relationship was never in the certainty. It was always in the meal. If you're in the panic right now, this one's for you. Pull up a chair. If this conversation is interesting, then come join me and Ilia Delio for our upcoming class, The Future of Religion, where we will digging in to the evolution of religion, its current belief centered crisis, and the possibilities on the horizon.

[CORRECTED AUDIO]We've had some gonzo episodes before, and a couple of trainwrecks, but this is the first-ever episode that is actually two episodes edited together, with sequence changes, new sound effects, canned insults from John, etc. I explained in a Substack post our technical difficulties that arose in the livestream, and here is the fix. Let us know what you think!In fits and starts we do cover some breaking legal developments, whether Israel has any hope of a libal action against the New York Times (which richly deserves it), the surprising statesmanlike bearing of President Trump, some surprising remarks on anti-Semitism from T.S. Eliot, and more.So here we go!

Abbie speaks with Anna Maltby — health journalist, personal trainer, and author of the How to Move newsletter — for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on the fitness industry. At the heart of this episode is: what does look like to rebuild a relationship with movement that isn't rooted in shrinking, earning food, or “fixing” your body?They talk about how fitness media manufactures insecurity to sell us solutions, what people are unlearning when they come to weight-neutral movement, why decoupling exercise from aesthetics can temporarily leave people unmotivated (and what to do about that), and why your squat is probably fine.Tune in for more on:* The “body as business card” problem in fitness and nutrition* How magazine cover lines were engineered to exploit seasonal body insecurities* Anna's origin story: from Eat This Not That to anti-diet fitness journalism* The Refinery29 moment that changed everything (shoutout to Kelsey Miller's Anti-Diet Project column)* What people are unlearning: trusting their bodies, eating before workouts, modifications that aren't lesser* Why losing aesthetic motivation can feel like losing all motivation, and how to find intrinsic intentions* The importance of where you are in recovery before reintroducing movement* How to experiment with movement without judging yourself on the first try* The “you're doing it wrong” trend and why it's harmful even in anti-diet spaces* Body diversity and squat mechanics (yes, really)For more from Anna: https://howtomove.substack.com/https://www.instagram.com/howannamoves/Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

If your organization isn't obsessed with how fast your people can learn, you're already falling behind in the race to "out-learn" the competition. In this episode, I'm joined by Susan LaMonica, the Chief Human Resource Officer at Citizens Financial Group—a super-regional bank with $226 billion in assets and 18,000 employees.  We explore how they are driving a massive workforce transformation to build a team that is ready for the future of work. We dive deep into their journey of becoming a skills-based organization and how they use a "skills taxonomy" and an internal talent marketplace to support mobility and career development. Susan also explains their "measured approach" to AI governance within a heavily regulated industry, including the role of their Generative AI Council. We unpack their "Reimagine the Bank" initiative, where they are rethinking 47 different business processes to drive value and effectiveness. From launching internal "gigs" to tracking productivity metrics like customer NPS and employee sentiment, this conversation is a strategic guide for any leader looking to blend high-tech tools with a human-centered culture.

If you've noticed you have far less tolerance lately for chaos, mixed signals, unnecessary drama, or relationships that require constant management, this episode is for you. Vanessa Bennett explores how prolonged upheaval changes the nervous system - why adaptation can keep you functioning, but isn't the same thing as healing - and how “resilience” can quietly become chronic self-abandonment. We talk about allostatic load, post-crisis clarity, and why losing capacity for avoidable chaos isn't always hardening - it can be the psyche finally refusing what it once over-accommodated. The invitation is to treat your life force as precious and rebuild around stability, honesty, and mutuality.For educational purposes only.

Have you ever felt like you know you're good at what you do… but somehow the outside world isn't fully recognizing it? You're showing up. You're visible. Your clients get incredible results. And yet, opportunities don't always flow the way they should. That Authority Gap can create a frustrating cycle where you start second-guessing yourself, overthinking your message, or wondering what's missing. But often, the real issue isn't your expertise. It's the gap between your internal authority and your external authority. In Episode 491 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I'm talking about why experts fall into the invisibility trap and the subtle ways authority gets distorted when what you know about yourself internally isn't fully aligned with how others experience you externally. We'll look at how self-doubt quietly impacts your messaging, why visibility alone doesn't build trust, and the 4 external authority levers that help people recognize why you are the right choice. I also share how human design can help you refine the way you express your authority so your visibility becomes more aligned, magnetic, and naturally compelling. If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or like your brilliance isn't translating into opportunities, this conversation will help you identify what's really happening underneath it.
