Podcasts about Sunnyside

This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up, this time involving a surprising new flock of chickens and a listener note from Belgium. Via Peter Janssen, as he's seen the same fake “employee discount” scams we covered, only this time targeting backpacks and other products. Dave's story is on a new “podcast imposter” scam, where fake invites trick business owners and influencers into giving remote access so attackers can hijack their accounts. Joe's got a story on Workday disclosing a breach after attackers used social engineering to infiltrate a third-party CRM system, and why this matters given Workday's wide use as the front end for so many companies' HR departments. Maria brings two quick hits this week: a fake FedEx text scam making the rounds, and a look at whether covering kids' faces with emojis in photos really protects their privacy — or if it's more illusion than protection. On today's catch of the day, Dave got a text claiming he's been recommended for a high-paying, no-experience-needed YouTube job—classic signs of a scam promising easy money and “free training.” Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ before August 31.

Across Canada, 71 per cent of the country is abnormally dry or experiencing moderate to severe drought, according to the Canadian Drought Monitor. That includes places like Sunnyside, Newfoundland and Labrador, where the taps ran dry earlier this month. And in Nova Scotia, Farmer Amy Hill in Nova Scotia shares how the dry conditions are straining her farm. John Pomeroy, Director of the Global Water Futures program at the University of Saskatchewan, explains what's driving these conditions and what Canada must do to prepare for a hotter, drier future.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, I'm joined by Mike Hardenbrook—author of No Willpower Required and host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast—for a conversation that's been a long time coming.Mike's story will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with drinking more than they want to but never felt “out of control” enough to warrant a label. His approach to habit change is science-forward, rooted in neuroscience and behavioral psychology, and deeply aligned with our core belief at Alcohol Minimalist: you are not powerless.Together, we discuss:How Mike's drinking slowly crept into a habitual nightly loop—despite a successful life and healthy routines.Why the traditional “powerless” model of alcohol change never resonated with him—and why he decided to write a book for people like him.What it means to truly “rewire” your drinking habit and how Mike used curiosity, experimentation, and mindset shifts to get there.Our shared belief in empowering people through understanding their brains—and how that changes everything.The role of alcohol as a “light switch” for the brain, and why the reward loop gets so entrenched for daily drinkers.This is a real, down-to-earth conversation between two people who have both experienced the challenges of breaking a long-term drinking habit and emerged with a science-backed, compassionate way forward.If you've been trying to drink less but feel stuck, this episode is for you. And if the idea of change without willpower sounds too good to be true, give this a listen—you may find a new path forward.About Mike Hardenbrook: Mike is the author of No Willpower Required: A Neuroscience Approach to Change Your Habits with Alcohol and the host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast.

In our worship service today, we had the privilege of hearing from Indira Maliro and Noha Chalulu. Each of these Sunnyside members shared about their experience at Presbyterian Youth Triennium through the lens of two Scriptures: Psalm 126 and Acts 2:14-21, both read by Phoebe Skiles-duToit.We hope your spirit is inspired by the thoughtful words of these young people!

Sunny Bergman (1972) kreeg onlangs van de jury van de Nipkowschijf een eervolle vermelding voor haar laatste documentaire Blauwe Ballen en Andere Verkrachtingsmythes. Hierin onderzoekt ze waarom seksueel geweld zo wijdverbreid is en waarom het zo moeilijk is om de daders voor de rechter te krijgen. Haar persoonlijke overtuiging is meestal het startpunt van haar verhaal. Sunny Bergman schuwt taboes niet en is als geen ander in staat om de olifant in de kamer te benoemen. Ze maakte onder anderen de films Beperkt Houdbaar, Zwart als Roet, Man Made en Oproerkraaiers, en de serie Sunny Side of Sex. In 2023 verscheen Mijn Nazi-Opa, een spraakmakende memoir over een pijnlijke familiegeschiedenis. Haar rijke oeuvre vraagt om een diepgaand gesprek over haar werk en een reflectie op de maatschappij waarin we nu leven. Ze lijkt altijd zeer zelfverzekerd, maar wat doet het met je als je altijd maar weer de barricade op gaat om onrecht aan te kaarten? Nicolaas Veul is programmamaker bij de VPRO. Hij won dit jaar met Een Valse Start - 100 dagen in de Jeugd- en Gezinszorg de Nipkowschijf. Eerder maakte hij onder anderen Pisnicht en Superstream Me.

Episode Summary: In this honest and reflective episode, Molly shares her personal journey with More Dry July and what it really means when your outcome doesn't match your original goal. She walks through her mindset shift from chasing perfection to reinforcing identity, and how 21 alcohol-free days—rather than the planned 24—still powerfully reflect the systems she's built as an Alcohol Minimalist.Drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits and Elizabeth Benton's Chasing Cupcakes, Molly explores how honest tracking, identity-based change, and keystone habits can keep you aligned even when things don't go perfectly. She also shares a powerful metaphor that reframes each alcohol-free day as a building block in the foundation of a peaceful relationship with alcohol.Whether your July was a success by the numbers or felt a little off-track, this episode will remind you that your next decision matters far more than your last one—and that progress is always possible when you stay connected to who you are becoming.In this episode, you'll learn:Why prioritizing alcohol-free days matters more than perfectionHow “alcohol-free-ish” thinking can undermine honest accountabilityThe difference between tracking outcomes vs. living your identityWhat it means to own your behavior without excuses or shameWhy each AF day is like stacking a brick in your foundationResources and Links:Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsChasing Cupcakes by Elizabeth Benton: https://amzn.to/3KXh2xQStart your Sunnyside trial: https://www.sunnyside.co/mollyWork with Molly or learn more: https://www.mollywatts.comQuote of the Week: "You do not rise to the level of your goals.

She's also a body-acceptance advocate with a highly engaged community of close to one million supporters across platforms.

I have a fantastic conversation with writer, actor, comedian, and all-around great guy Samba Schutte. Samba recently became a U.S. citizen, and this shift in his immigration status opened the door to a heartfelt and sincere discussion about ICE, immigration, and what American citizenship truly means to those who choose it.While chasing the American Dream, Samba was also pursuing the Hollywood dream—a dream shared by many who arrive with stars in their eyes but no stripes on their shoulders. Remarkably, he seems to be realizing both. On the Hollywood front, he has starred in several television series, including NBC's Sunnyside and HBO's Our Flag Means Death. His versatility has landed him roles ranging from romantic leads to memorable guest appearances in film and television.Listening to Samba's impassioned, emotional reflections in this episode, it's hard not to feel his deep gratitude, love, and respect for the American Dream. He shares a strong kinship with fellow immigrants who are striving toward that vision and offers inspiring words of encouragement. He also delivers thoughtful reminders to those born in the U.S., who may have grown distant from their sense of national pride, encouraging a renewed appreciation for the country they call home.

On this episode, Chris is joined by his Less Than Jake bandmate Roger Lima to dive into the writing and recording of their 2024 single "Sunny Side." The conversation explores the song's layered instrumentation, dynamic horn arrangements, and emotionally resonant lyrics that center on self-realization, identity, and personal growth. Inspired by a fan's encouragement to “keep your sunny side up and your dirty side down,” the track blends heavy riffs with melodic textures, channeling arena rock energy while remaining rooted in ska-punk sensibilities. From the tension-building breakdown to the soaring vocal finale, Roger and Chris break down every element of the collaborative process that brought “Sunny Side” to life—both in the studio and on stage.
