July 27th: LaVena Johnson Born (1985) When tragedy strikes a family will do anything to make sense of their loss.

Hope is often mistaken for a feeling of optimism, but for many people it looks much quieter: the decision to stay alive and keep going even when nothing feels certain. In this episode, we explore how hope is less about feeling inspired and more about choosing, day after day, to remain open to the possibility that life can change. Sometimes the most meaningful act is not thriving—it's surviving.Key TakeawaysHope is not a mood; it is a decision.You do not need certainty to keep going.Survival is a meaningful achievement.Choosing “one more day” is an act of courage.Staying alive preserves the possibility of connection, healing, and purpose.Quiet hope often sounds like: “I'm not done yet.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Lindsay Clancy called a suicide hotline before she killed her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and was told she didn't qualify for help because she didn't have a plan. That single phone call sits at the center of the trial now underway in Plymouth. Both sides agree Cora, Dawson, and Callan died at her hands. The only open question is criminal responsibility.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to walk through everything that led to that call and everything that came after it. Lindsay's providers had documented intrusive thoughts around the same time she was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm Cora, Dawson, and Callan — a distinction Shavaun says the treatment team never fully reckoned with. A forensic evaluation eventually diagnosed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had floated but never locked in while it mattered.  In the four months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen different medications. Her husband, Patrick, warned providers directly that she was unrecognizable on Seroquel and asked them to stop. Instead of pulling back, they raised the dose. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and sat for three days before a doctor examined her. Five providers passed through her care, and the lawsuit alleges none of them ever compared notes.  Shavaun explains how a hotline screening script can miss a woman in active crisis, why revolving prescriptions without coordination make a bad diagnosis worse, and what should have happened differently the moment Patrick raised the alarm. This is the treatment record the jury in Plymouth is now being asked to weigh. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever wondered how some people find the strength to keep going when life keeps knocking them down? In this conversation, I sit down with bestselling author and creator of the global phenomenon The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod, to explore what it really means to heal, persevere, and choose hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. Millions know Hal for transforming their mornings — but fewer know the extraordinary journey that led him there. From a car accident that left him clinically dead for six minutes and being told he'd never walk again, to a rare cancer diagnosis with only a 20-30% survival rate, Hal has been forced to confront life's darkest moments over and over, and has found his way back every single time. What struck me most wasn't just his resilience — it was his perspective. We get into the five-minute rule, the difference between optimism and delusion, why he believes resistance — not circumstance — is the real source of emotional pain, the true origin of the Miracle Morning and the SAVERS practice, his approach to affirmations and visualization (and why most people get both wrong), the holistic modalities he pursued alongside conventional treatment, and what no one warns you about when medication starts changing who you are. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or needed a reminder that difficult seasons don't last forever — this one's for you. Content Advisory: If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide or is in emotional distress, please reach out to a trusted loved one or a qualified mental health professional. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are elsewhere, please contact your local crisis services. You are not alone.

Grief is often thought of as an emotional response to death, but grief is much more than that. It is a full-body physiological process that accompanies every meaningful loss, transition, and transformation we experience throughout life. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace, Elisabeth Kristof, and NSI Director of Operations and Continuing Education Piper Rose explore grief through the lens of neuroscience, attachment, and the nervous system. Together, they examine why grief is not something to "get over," but a biological process that reshapes our brain, body, relationships, and identity. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, a career, a version of yourself, or navigating the changes that naturally accompany healing and post-traumatic growth, this conversation offers a compassionate and science-backed framework for understanding grief as an essential part of being human. Together, they explore why grief can feel physically painful, how our nervous system adapts to loss, why meaning-making often comes too early, and how building the capacity to stay present with grief ultimately expands our capacity for resilience, connection, and love. Key Takeaways Why grief is a biological nervous system process—not simply an emotional experience. How grief reshapes the brain's predictions, physiology, and sense of identity. The relationship between grief, attachment, belonging, and post-traumatic growth. Why grief often shows up as fatigue, heaviness, physical pain, bracing, or shutdown. How survival responses like suppression, over-functioning, and dissociation interrupt the body's natural grieving process. Why growth always asks us to grieve who we once were. Why meaning-making is most helpful after the body has processed loss—not before. Practical ways to support grief through co-regulation, nervous system capacity, and daily "minimum effective dose" grief practice. If you've ever been told to "move on," "look for the silver lining," or simply "stay strong," this episode offers another perspective: grief is not something to overcome. It is a deeply human process that deserves to be witnessed, supported, and experienced with compassion. Featured in This Episode Piper Rose Founder of Shadowplay Coaching and Director of Operations & Continuing Education at NeuroSomatic Intelligence. Frances Weller Author and psychotherapist whose work on grief, ritual, and community is referenced throughout the conversation. Kintsugi The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, used as a metaphor for healing, resilience, and transformation. Resources

Dinner Partners' Beach House Horrors Month begins with a rousing discussion of Anne Rice's “lost La Jolla year”. Did you know that when our premiere Party Person famously departed New Orleans in 2003 her first landing place was this tony Southern California jewel? (Spoiler alert – it wasn't a love match!) It's the perfect lead in for Christopher and Eric's two part serving of the most controversial and riveting suspicious death case in recent memory, the Spreckels Mansion “murder”.

Conspiracy theories abound and if there are answers, they're hiding in the moneyed shadows cast by society page players in this posh enclave. Murder? Suicide? Sexual assault? All these horrifying prospects are on the table.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with retired Sergeant Major Taamir Ransome, an Army EOD veteran and author of Mind of a Soldier, to talk about EOD, transition, veteran suicide, purpose after service, and what happens when the war is over but the fight is not.Taamir walks through growing up in New Jersey, joining the Army with a GED, starting out in radar repair, attempting SFAS, and eventually finding his way into Explosive Ordnance Disposal. He explains the differences between Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force EOD, what makes the career field so small, and why EOD school is one of the hardest technical schools in the military.The conversation also gets into deployments, working around Special Operations Forces, wild stories from Iraq, and the reality that the military creates people who are calibrated differently than the rest of society.Then the episode turns toward Taamir's book, Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War. He talks about veteran suicide, transition, moral injury, finding purpose, nonprofits, service dogs, mentorship, and why veterans need to find a new pack and a new mission after leaving the uniform behind.This one is about more than war stories.

You may have heard a lot about nervous system regulation and its role in helping you prevent emotional and behavioral chaos while finding inner peace. You may even have tried some tools to reduce stress and create more internal calm but didn't find much lasting relief. In truth, it can take a lot of practice to rewire our bodies and brains in lasting ways, especially when negative patterns have been in play for years or decades. Yet because dysregulation is at the root of many issues from mood disorders to chronic anxiety, any shifts we make for the better can also benefit our partners, children, and families. Today, we're joined by a leading expert, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, who will guide us on the path of lasting change and healing.

What comes after rest? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb Lindh explores a question we rarely ask: What if enjoyment isn't something we earn, but something we intentionally cultivate? Drawing on the work of positive psychology pioneers Barbara Fredrickson, Martin Seligman, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, this episode explores the science behind positive emotions, flourishing, and the power of being fully present. Learn the difference between entertainment and enjoyment, why positive emotions are essential to well-being, and how allowing ourselves to experience enjoyment can become part of the healing process. Healing isn't only about recovering from difficult experiences. It's also about rediscovering the moments that remind us what it means to be fully alive. If this episode resonated with you, please follow, rate, and share PTSD and Beyond. Your support helps bring trauma-informed conversations to more people around the world. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond. Join us on Ko-Fi to help keep these conversations going.

The Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's effort to restrict birthright citizenship, holding that children born in the U.S. to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present qualify as citizens at birth. Many conservatives sharply criticized the ruling, warning it could have significant long-term cultural and national consequences.

Épisode produit en collaboration avec Amnesty InternationalCet épisode s'ouvre sur de la colère et de la sidération, les miennes, face à la destruction du vivant qui s'opère sous nos yeux et à la situation politique insupportable que nous vivons collectivement. Je déprime, j'insomnie, je panique, je ne suis pas bien, les amis. Et pourtant, je vis avec le privilège d'avoir été dotée à la naissance d'un papier qui me permet de vivre et de travailler en France sans me poser de questions.Des milliers de personnes qui travaillent en France aujourd'hui, parfois depuis des décennies, sont soumises à la précarité administrative à travers des titres de séjour courts qui doivent être sans cesse renouvelés. Vous en faites peut-être partie. Cette réalité avait été documentée par Amnesty International en 2025, à travers un rapport intitulé À la merci d'un papier. C'est dans le cadre de ce premier rapport que les équipes d'Amnesty ont pris conscience de l'impact dévastateur de cette précarité sur la santé mentale des travailleur·euses concerné·es : insomnie, anxiété, dépression, voire pensées suicidaires. Un deuxième rapport, publié en juin dernier, J'y pense tout le temps, explore cet aspect. Je l'ai lu avec attention, et j'ai été bouleversée par les voix des 27 personnes qui ont accepté d'y témoigner.Le renouvellement du titre, le rendez-vous à la préfecture, l'obtention des pièces occupent l'esprit en permanence et empêchent toute projection vers l'avenir. Car sans ce papier, pas de travail, pas de logement, pas de soins médicaux. Une réalité qui concerne et affecte tout particulièrement des femmes qui élèvent seules leurs enfants.Nous parlons de tout cela dans cet épisode avec deux invitées brillantes et passionnantes : Tcherina Jerolon, responsable chez Amnesty International du programme Conflits, migrations et justice, et Yasmine Riffi Tamsamani, actrice, assistante réalisatrice et membre du collectif des intermittent·es du spectacle étranger·es en France. Je les remercie toutes les deux pour la force de leur engagement, et je vous appelle tous et toutes à écouter cet épisode jusqu'au bout, à prendre le temps de comprendre cette réalité, et surtout à signer la pétition dont vous trouverez le lien juste ici et sur les réseaux sociaux de Folie Douce et d'Amnesty.Merci à Amnesty International de m'avoir fait confiance pour cet épisode spécial. Bonne écoute, prenez soin de vous, prenez votre temps, et partagez en masse cet épisode. C'est important !Production exécutive : Good Sisters

Chat, are we cooked? Julia is joined by friend and mentor Dr. Jack Keefe to explore the ongoing epidemic of AI psychosis and the dire consequences of having a sycophant in our pocket. They trace the history of how technology has repeatedly reshaped our understanding of reality, from medieval nobles who believed their bodies were made of glass, telegraph operators struck by sudden paralysis, and tech moguls convinced they're living in The Matrix. Digressions include questioning the humanity of Mr. Beast, the stay tethered to reality challenge, and The Truman Show as a psychotic touchstone. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.  Check out Jack's work here: https://jack-keefe.com/ WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!!!!

Sometimes a hobby amplifies whatever relationship your nervous system has with uncertainty.If you've ever found yourself staring at a blank page, putting off a creative project, or feeling tense doing something that's supposed to be relaxing, this episode is for you.Today we're exploring why perfectionism can turn creativity into a performance, how complex trauma changes our relationship with uncertainty, and why your hobbies may feel more like a test than a source of joy.We'll talk about the connection between self-worth and perfectionism, predictive processing, why healing in relationships doesn't always translate to creative expression, and gentle somatic practices to help your nervous system reconnect with curiosity and play.Whether your "painting" is art, writing, dancing, cooking, starting a business, or trying something new, this episode will help you understand why perfectionism runs much deeper than wanting to get it right.It might just be your nervous system trying to make sure you still belong.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

The same identity disruption athletes face after a career-ending injury shows up almost exactly the same way after a chronic illness diagnosis.In this episode, you'll hear from Kelsey Ruffing, MA, MS, LCPC, who draws a direct line between an athlete being ignored by a coach and a chronically ill patient being dismissed by a doctor, and explains why both create the same kind of lasting trust injury.Connect with Destiny:  Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________

142 - Beautifully Broken: How One Officer's Suicide Sparked a Movement of Hope | Jared Buchanan & Daniel Herzog What happens when unimaginable loss becomes a mission to save lives? When police officer Paul Buchanan died by suicide, he left behind a heartbreaking note explaining that he wanted help—but feared asking for it would cost him his badge, his gun, and his career. That fear cost him everything. His son, Jared Buchanan, refused to let his father's story end there. In this powerful episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver sits down with Jared Buchanan—Marine Corps veteran, licensed psychotherapist, suicide prevention advocate, and ultramarathon runner—and filmmaker Daniel Herzog, director of the documentary Beautifully Broken. Together they explore how grief can become purpose, why movement can be a powerful tool for healing trauma, and how one family's tragedy is helping first responders across the country begin conversations that save lives. If you are a police officer, firefighter, EMT, dispatcher, corrections officer, veteran, family member, or leader responsible for first responder wellness, this is an episode you won't forget. In This Episode You'll Learn Why Officer Paul Buchanan believed asking for help would end his career How Jared transformed grief into purpose by running ultramarathons—including a 304-mile race across Arizona Why physical movement can play an important role in processing trauma The connection between endurance sports, resilience, and post-traumatic growth How filmmaker Daniel Herzog spent three years documenting this remarkable journey The healing power of vulnerability, forgiveness, and honest conversations The story behind Believe 208, the nonprofit honoring Officer Paul Buchanan's legacy Why changing the culture around mental health in first responder organizations starts with leadership Key Takeaways ✔ Mental health stigma continues to prevent many first responders from seeking help. ✔ Healing doesn't come from ignoring pain—it comes from moving through it with purpose. ✔ Physical activity can become a healthy outlet for processing grief and trauma. ✔ Storytelling has the power to save lives by opening conversations that otherwise never happen. ✔ Connection—not isolation—is one of the greatest protective factors against suicide. About Our Guests Jared Buchanan Jared Buchanan is a Marine Corps veteran, licensed psychotherapist, suicide prevention advocate, motivational speaker, and ultramarathon runner. After losing his father, Officer Paul Buchanan, to suicide in 2013, Jared dedicated his life to helping first responders and others find healing through purpose, resilience, and meaningful connection. Daniel Herzog Daniel Herzog is an award-winning filmmaker, creative director, and journalist whose work focuses on the first responder and veteran communities. He directed the feature documentary Beautifully Broken, chronicling Jared's extraordinary journey from tragedy to hope.

Today we're talking about boys—the messages they receive about emotions, strength, masculinity, and what it means to “be a man” in today's world. My guest is Dr. Katie Hurley, a child and adolescent psychotherapist, parenting educator, and Vice President of Community Initiatives for The Jed Foundation, a nonprofit focused on youth mental health and suicide prevention. Katie is the author of several books on kids' and teens' mental health, and her newest release, Breaking the Boy Code, takes a deep look at the societal pressures shaping boys' emotional lives. In our conversation, Katie and I explore how traditional expectations around masculinity can impact boys' mental health, emotional expression, and relationships. We talk about the unique pressures boys are facing today, what can happen when emotions get pushed underground, and practical ways parents can support boys in developing emotional awareness, resilience, and a healthier sense of self.  About Dr. Katie Hurley   Dr. Katie Hurley is a child and adolescent psychotherapist, parenting educator, public speaker, and writer, and is the Vice President of Community Initiatives for The Jed Foundation (JED), a nonprofit dedicated to youth and young adult mental health and suicide prevention.

Childhood sexual trauma doesn't end when the event is over. It can shape the nervous system for decades, influencing boundaries, shame, relationships, chronic pain, dissociation, and the way we experience safety in our own bodies. In this deeply personal episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by NSI practitioner Lovee Bradley to explore the lasting neurophysiological effects of childhood sexual abuse and the path toward healing. Together they discuss how early violations of body boundaries shape the developing nervous system, why freeze and dissociation become deeply ingrained survival strategies, and how those adaptations continue to influence adult relationships, emotional regulation, shame, intimacy, and self-expression. Jennifer, Elisabeth, and Lovee also share their own lived experiences with sexual trauma, pelvic pain, chronic bracing, emotional suppression, people-pleasing, and boundary challenges while offering hope through nervous system healing and neuroplasticity. This conversation is not about reliving trauma—it is about understanding the intelligence of survival responses and learning how to safely reconnect with your body, your voice, and your sense of self. If you've ever struggled with shame, chronic freeze, difficulty saying no, intimacy challenges, or feeling disconnected from your own body, this episode offers both education and hope. In This Episode We Discuss • How childhood sexual trauma shapes nervous system development • Why freeze is an intelligent survival response—not a personal weakness • Dissociation, shame, and the long-term effects of developmental trauma • How chronic muscle bracing and pelvic floor tension develop after trauma • Sexual fawning, people-pleasing, and body boundary violations • Emotional regulation and the lasting impact of early attachment wounds • The relationship between shame, chronic illness, and self-abandonment • Why boundaries often feel physically unsafe after trauma • Rebuilding safety, self-expression, and agency through neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation Resources

What happens after you finish the thing that gave your life structure and meaning? Whether it's writing a book, raising kids, winning a championship, or completing a major goal, the end of one chapter often leaves us feeling empty. In this episode, I explore why that emptiness isn't a sign that something is wrong, but a signal that you're ready to be challenged by life in a new way.In this episode, I discuss:Why achievement often leads to a surprising sense of emptinessThe difference between rest, recovery, and restlessnessThe psychology of the “arrival fallacy”Why the brain thrives on pursuit more than possessionHow purpose gives shape to our discomfortWhy misery is trying to recreate the pastHow to become “unhappy in a whole new way”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

I'm welcoming back Diana Lutfi — independent legal expert, healthcare regulatory and bioethics consultant, and coalition builder — for a conversation about just how broken the American healthcare system has become, and how that brokenness is now colliding with the fight over therapist speech.I open with a personal on-ramp: my own recent ordeal getting diagnosed and treated for SIBO, and everything it revealed about a system that pushes drugs and procedures while ignoring underlying causes. It's a story about having to be your own advocate — doing your own research, demanding your own testing, declining the wrong prescription, and fighting for the right one — and about everyone who doesn't have the skills or resources to do that.From there, Diana and I widen the lens. We talk about “standards of care” as a phrase that sounds authoritative but is often anything but, from WPATH to gastroenterology. And we get into the heart of the episode: Colorado. Why is it, in my view, the worst state to be a parent — and increasingly, to be a therapist? We unpack Chiles v. Salazar, the new HB 26-1322 (Civil Actions for Conversion Therapy Survivors), and the deliberately vague “unprofessional conduct” language that lets licensing boards discipline speech.The questions we explore: What actually counts as being “required to affirm”? How does vague law create a chilling effect? And what would it take to fight back?Diana Lutfi, JD, MSHCM, CPHQ is an independent legal expert, healthcare regulatory and bioethics consultant, and coalition movement builder. She emerged in the center of two national movements unmasking healthcare abuses (health freedom and detransitioners), and became the tipping sphere after writing the Larger Detransitioners community amicus (cited in U.S. v. Skrmetti). She bridged 100+ detransitioners and activists supportive of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and authored the counter-letter signed by 5,000+ academics and physicians supportive of Robert F. Kenendy Jr. She ignited a third wave of intellectuals and built a think tank dedicated to ‘Healing Science' to push back against the mislabeling of ‘science' and ‘data' used as justification for public health laws and social control. She enjoys teaching and empowering people to know their healthcare legal rights and constitutional rights, and actively champions stronger protection for bodily integrity.Links:Think-tank: healscience.orgConsulting: outofmedicalegypt.comFor legal research projects, Diana focuses on defamation, healthcare licensing, and legislative writing.

We talk about whether it can be justifiable, and whether there is a duty to live, with a focus on the duty to other people. We also discuss whether people should have access to assisted suicide. Finally, we discuss whether it is a personal flaw if someone decides they no longer want to live.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 693, my conversation with Candace Jane Opper, author of the debut memoir Certain and Impossible Events (Kore Press). Air date: February 17, 2021. Candace Jane Opper is a writer, a mother, and an occasional visual artist. She grew up in the woods of Southern Connecticut, in a house that alarmingly resembles the one from The Amityville Horror, where she learned to embrace the value of unconventionality. She holds an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Portland State University and spent her undergraduate years in Providence studying Film History—a discipline her college advisor fondly described as the second most pointless major next to Art History, which she promptly declared as her minor. Opper's essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Longreads, Guernica, Creative Nonfiction, LitHub, Narratively, Brevity, and Vestoj, among others. She is a Creative Nonfiction Foundation Fellowship recipient and a member on the advisory council for Write Pittsburgh, a program collective that empowers writers to amplify their voices and strengthen their communities. Certain and Impossible Events is her first book. *** ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otherppl with Brad Listi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

Unknown Broadcast returns with four old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama pulled from somewhere beyond the static.Tonight's transmission begins aboard a deserted ghost ship, where the Annabella is found adrift with warm meals, a set table, and not a living soul on board. Then Escape invites us into a gentleman's nightmare of cream tarts, secret clubs, death cards, and impossible exits. After that, Suspense takes us to a debt-ridden dude ranch where a missing guest, a forged check, and a body in a rumble seat turn yesterday's confusion into tonight's murder mystery. Finally, The Whistler follows a quiet bank teller whose perfect long-term theft becomes a perfect trap.

NO ADS on PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! Dave opens in a reflective mood before vacation, trying to practice gratitude while also admitting how ridiculous and uncomfortable it feels. He gives thanks to the Dopey team, Dopey Nation, the people who helped with the film festival, and talks about being sober, scrambling to get shows done, House of the Dragon, and crying on the Long Island Railroad while watching the Knicks finals mini movie. Then Dave gets into revenge, resentment, recovery, redemption, and the dangerous romance of “getting back.” He plays a wild voicemail from a Scottish Dopey listener coming off opiates, who tells a story about buying a house, snorting heroin before move-in day, doing coke, champagne, and Ritalin while moving furniture, crashing a van, watching his friend get arrested, and then finishing the move on a days-long stimulant binge. Then it's a classic Dopey replay with Michael Todd, former bassist of Coheed and Cambria. Michael tells the story of going from prescription painkillers on tour to OxyContin, heroin, shooting coke and dope, leaving the band, rejoining clean, relapsing, smuggling heroin across the country in Gobstopper boxes, robbing a pharmacy in Massachusetts, getting arrested, losing the band for good, dealing with cancer, shame, probation, relapse, Suboxone, and surviving a suicide attempt. It's one of the rawest Dopey conversations ever: rock stardom, addiction, shame, survival, recovery, and Dave's newly coined phrase — radical gratitude. PLUS MORE!!!! MORE!
