Seeking three quiet months away from New York City, Jeremy retreats to an isolated farm in rural New Jersey with little more than a roomful of books and plans to spend the summer immersed in the classics of Gothic literature. At first, Poroth Farm seems ideal. His landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are reserved but welcoming, the countryside is peaceful, and Jeremy finally has all the solitude he could want. Then the natural rhythms of the farm begin to falter. Something strange moves through the woods. Animals behave in ways Jeremy cannot explain. Familiar creatures become suddenly unfamiliar. And as the summer wears on, Jeremy's comfortable skepticism is tested by a mounting series of incidents that seem increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence, superstition, or imagination. Surrounded by the very horror stories he came there to study, Jeremy begins to confront a far more disturbing possibility: perhaps the darkest ideas preserved in old books were never entirely fictional.T.E.D. Klein's “The Events at Poroth Farm” is a masterful slow burn of isolation, paranoia, cosmic dread, and creeping transformation, now presented as a standalone audio horror release and performed by Erik Peabody, longtime host of Horror Hill.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

What's the right way to wake up?In this reflection on Psalm 5, John Ortberg continues the daily rhythm begun in Psalm 4.Evening is the time of peace. Morning is the time of hope.And don't worry: you don't have to become a morning person.John explores how Psalm 5 gives us a practical way to begin an ordinary day with God, even when we wake up carrying heavy burdens, difficult circumstances, or unanswered questions.Drawing from the ancient Christian invitation Sursum corda, “Lift up your hearts,” and the wisdom of Francis de Sales, John invites us to preview the coming day with God.What meetings are ahead?Who will you encounter?Where might you be tempted?Where might you have an opportunity to serve or encourage someone?Bring your actual day to God.Then wait expectantly.Maybe we shouldn't call the thing that wakes us an “alarm clock” at all.As John puts it, perhaps we need a resurrection clock.God has given you another day. This one will never come again.In this episode:Psalm 5 as a morning prayerThe rhythm of Psalms 3, 4, and 5Why you don't have to be a morning personWaking up with God when life feels heavySursum corda: Lift up your heartsWhy waking shouldn't begin with alarmFrancis de Sales on morning prayerPreviewing your day with GodPreparing for difficult interactionsLooking for opportunities to serveWhy morning is the time of hopeThe “resurrection clock”Living this day surrounded by God's careScriptures: Psalm 3:5 • Psalm 4 • Psalm 5 • Proverbs 27:14 • Psalm 118:24#Psalm5 #JohnOrtberg #MorningPrayer #Psalms #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #MorningRoutine #Hope

Tim Pool, the 40-year-old YouTuber who calls himself a "moderate," stormed off Jubilee's Youtube debate show "Surrounded" after someone called him a grifter, illustrating an increasingly evident truth about the modern MAGA movement: they may still have power, but America doesn't respect them anymore.Bobby Silverman, Posting Through It's unofficial NYC and sports correspondent, returns to the show to lend his expertise on Pool. But before the guys talk about the aging "moderate" who debates like an eight year old, they break down how MAGA has spent the summer trying to ensnare the WNBA in its long-running "culture war" programming, in which they've tapped Enes Kanter to serve as a bludgeon in their war against transgender people.Never let them see you sweat.

In this episode of Art Wank, we chat with artist Sophie Cape about the winding path that led her from elite sport to a life in contemporary art. Before establishing herself as an artist, Sophie competed at a high level in both skiing and cycling, dedicating years to training, competition, and the pursuit of performance. She reflects on the mindset required to succeed in sport and how those experiences continue to shape the way she approaches her work today.Sophie also shares what it was like growing up with artist Ann Cape as her mother. Surrounded by creativity from an early age, art was always present in her life, although it would take many years and several career changes before she fully embraced it as her own path. We discuss the influence of family, the balance between inspiration and independence, and how her creative identity developed over time.A major turning point came with a series of injuries that ultimately brought her sporting career to an end.Sophie speaks candidly about the emotional impact of stepping away from elite competition and the challenge of rebuilding a sense of purpose after sport. What followed was a gradual shift towards art making, where she found a new outlet for curiosity, experimentation, and ambition.We delve into Sophie's distinctive creative process, which often invites chance and the natural environment into the making of the work. Rather than treating the canvas as a static surface, she subjects it to weather, landscape, and time. Canvases are dragged across the ground, exposed to wind and rain, or left outdoors for weeks at a time, allowing the elements to leave their own marks. The resulting works become collaborations between artist and environment, capturing traces of movement, place, and duration.We also celebrate Sophie's success as winner of the Hadley's Art Prize, a significant milestone that brought wider recognition to her practice. She reflects on what the award meant for her career and the opportunities that followed, alongside the realities of sustaining a creative life.Sophie is represented by Liverpool St Gallery in Sydney Hosted on Acast.

I finished recording this episode with body liberation psychotherapist Paula D. Atkinson and immediately knew:This is one of my favorite conversations I've ever had on the podcast.Not because we agreed on everything (although we agreed on a lot), but because Paula made me think in entirely new ways.About body image.About dieting.About permission.About rage.About why so many of us have spent decades believing our bodies are the problem.This conversation challenged me, validated me, made me laugh, and honestly blew my mind more than once.If you've ever wondered why you think the way you do about food or your body, this episode is going to give you the answers.We cover:why diet culture functions more like a cult than a wellness practicethe connection between women's rights and beauty idealsThe role and impact of GLP-1sThe mindset shift that is non negotiableWhy the goal isn't fixing your body...it's questioning the beliefs that convinced you it needed fixing in the first place.Paula D. Atkinson is a queer, woo-woo desert witch and a liberation-focused psychotherapist. She has been working for over 15 years with those who suffer from disordered eating, food obsession, exercise addiction, and body hatred. Paula created and taught a course on the history of fat phobia and our culture's thin worship as a professor of Weight & Society at George Washington University.  She trains professionals, clinics, and organizations in doing less harm in a thin-obsessed world. She has been interviewed for various articles, podcasts and broadcasts, including on NPR, and co-hosts a podcast that explores how psychotherapy conspires with the many systems that cause mental suffering. She is a second-generation yoga teacher, a psychic witch, an artist, and an aspiring DJ! Paula grew up in the Bay Area, lived in DC and NYC for over 20 years, and recently relocated to Palm Springs CA where she is grateful every day for the dry heat, big sky and the desert vibrations.Insta: @pauladatkinsonWebsite: https://www.pauladatkinson.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/pauladatkinson/TikTok: @pauladatkinson5YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WINWWYEpisode of Surrounded: https://youtu.be/M7K87rGoGps?si=KPjMLmxc4KPfp0nJConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries

Monique and Kevin break down Brandon Tatum's intense Jubilee “Surrounded” debate against 20 Black Democrats.

Marcos Estrada went from surviving Chicago gang violence to becoming a United States Marine Master Sergeant—and fighting in Operation Phantom Fury.Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Marcos grew up surrounded by poverty, domestic violence, drugs, gangs, and crime. His father battled heroin addiction and spent much of Marcos' childhood in prison. By 15, Marcos had already been shot at, stabbed, arrested for serious felonies, and pulled deeper into the gang lifestyle.Then the Marine Corps gave him another path.In today's Urban Valor interview, Marcos shares how he escaped Chicago gang life, joined the U.S. Marines, became an infantryman, and completed a 20-year military career that included multiple combat deployments.But whew… getting there was anything but simple.Marcos talks about watching his mother rebuild her life after suffering devastating injuries, the neighborhood Marine who unknowingly inspired his future, entering the Marine Corps with multiple waivers, and the drill instructors who saw potential in a broken kid before he could see it himself.He also recounts intense combat during Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah—including RPG fire, ambushes, land mines, wounded Marines, and the moment he saw fellow Marine Stacey Green lying motionless after an explosion.This isn't just a Marine Corps combat story.It's a story about trauma.Brotherhood.Accountability.And what can happen when someone is finally given structure, responsibility, and a reason to believe they can become more than their environment.Marcos didn't erase his past when he became a Marine…He transformed it into grit, leadership, and purpose.Watch the full interview to hear how a kid from Chicago's South Side survived the streets, earned the title Marine, rose to Master Sergeant, and faced some of the most dangerous fighting of the Iraq War.Subscribe to Urban Valor for more uncensored military stories, veteran interviews, Marine Corps combat experiences, and firsthand accounts from the men and women who served.

Anchor Passage: (Psalm 142, 1 Samuel 22)Where do you run in a trial? Surrounded by enemies on all sides and forced to hide in a cave, David poured his heart out to God.

Today Donald T. Eason brings in Torrey Snow, CURE's National Clergy Director, to examine one of the most consequential gatherings of the year for America's urban pastors — the National Clergy Summit. In a searching conversation, Eason and Snow reveal why this three-day gathering in Washington has become the centerpiece of CURE's clergy program. They describe how pastors from across the country — many leading congregations in communities marked by poverty, family breakdown, and entrenched government dependence — arrive weary and leave strengthened. Surrounded by peers who share a similar biblical worldview, they gain hard data, policy access, legal resources, and the quiet assurance that they are not standing alone. The discussion ranges from the rare appearance of HUD Secretary Scott Turner during a government shutdown — an official who told pastors plainly that the goal is independence, not perpetual subsistence — to the success sequence that keeps 97 percent of those who follow it out of poverty. They examine the calculated pressure placed on Black pastors who refuse to trade biblical conviction for political favor, and the culture of intimidation that seeks to isolate them. Snow and Eason confront the gap between programs that foster dependence and the older American promise of personal responsibility, education, work, marriage, and family. At stake is more than one conference. It is whether the most trusted voices in urban America will continue to preach independence and dignity, or whether they will be steadily isolated, intimidated, or co-opted. This is the story of a summit designed to make certain that does not happen — and of the pastors who return home stronger because of it.

When Elena decided on a homebirth at 37 weeks pregnant with her first baby, many people questioned her choice. Then, when her waters broke and the fluid was stained with meconium, it seemed to confirm everyone's fears. But Elena trusted herself. Despite advice to head to the hospital, she chose to remain at home with her birth team. Her baby was posterior, then became caught with a hand beside her face, leading Elena to spend labor doing squats on the stairs to help her baby find the best position to be born. Surrounded by positive birth affirmations, squeezing a comb through each contraction, and supported by her husband, midwife, and even her mom quietly documenting the journey from the hallway, Elena welcomed her 8 pound, 13 ounce daughter into the world at home. The story didn't end there. After the birth, the umbilical cord tore, resulting in a trip to the hospital and a brief NICU stay that brought moments of fear and uncertainty. Now, 18 months later, Elena reflects on a birth that wasn't pain-free or perfect, but was deeply empowering. She believes that preparing thoroughly, advocating for herself, and trusting her instincts made all the difference.

Some athletes spend years preparing for their breakthrough. Bisola Arowolo made hers happen in just a few seasons. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the fastest-rising names in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball. From picking up a basketball for the first time in eighth grade to becoming a Top 100 prospect, earning Team USA U17 Trials invitations, and shining on the Nike EYBL circuit, Bisola's journey proves that hard work can accelerate dreams faster than anyone expects. Representing Frisco Emerson High School and competing with Cy Fair Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit, Bisola has quickly become one of the most versatile guards in the country. At 6-foot, she can defend multiple positions, attack the basket with confidence, rebound at a high level, and score from all three levels. Whether she's leading the fast break, creating offense off the dribble, or making winning plays on defense, her game is built on effort, athleticism, and relentless competitiveness.One of the most inspiring parts of this conversation is hearing how quickly everything happened. Unlike many elite prospects who started playing as toddlers, Bisola didn't begin playing basketball until eighth grade after years of playing soccer. What started as a suggestion from a middle school coach quickly became a passion. Through consistent work, countless hours in the gym, and a commitment to improving every day, she transformed herself into one of the nation's premier Class of 2027 prospects.Throughout the episode, Bisola talks about the importance of staying positive. Anyone who has watched her play knows she's almost always smiling, and she explains that her outlook on life is rooted in gratitude. Whether she's winning, facing adversity, or simply competing, she believes there's always something to be thankful for. That positive mindset has become one of the defining characteristics of both her game and her personality.Listeners also get an inside look at what it was like attending the USA Basketball U17 National Team Trials. Surrounded by many of the nation's top players, Bisola embraced the opportunity to compete, learn, and build relationships with athletes from across the country. Rather than feeling intimidated, she viewed every workout and every practice as another opportunity to grow.Family has played a major role in Bisola's development. Growing up with two older brothers helped shape her toughness and competitive spirit, while her parents have supported every step of her basketball journey. She also credits her trainer, coaches, and teammates for helping her continue to improve while staying focused on becoming the best version of herself.As recruiting continues, Bisola already knows what she's looking for at the next level. She wants a school where she connects with the coaching staff, builds strong relationships with teammates, enjoys the community around campus, and can prepare for life after basketball. She also shares her interest in studying business or a health-related field while continuing to chase her dream of playing professionally.This episode is filled with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and basketball fans who love discovering tomorrow's stars before the rest of the world catches on. Bisola's story reminds us that rankings don't define greatness. Consistency, character, resilience, and a willingness to outwork everyone else are what truly separate elite athletes.If you enjoy conversations like this, consider supporting our 4 Quarters Program.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God, especially in a world that constantly tempts us to place our confidence in temporary things rather than eternal truth. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, helping believers recognize the difference between the kingdoms of this world and the Kingdom of God that will never fall.Today's Message“They Built an Unbreakable Fortress... God Brought It Down”Lee Arnold Live Scripture: Jeremiah 51:1–64Babylon was the most powerful empire on earth. Its walls were massive. Its wealth was unmatched. Its military was feared across the known world. Surrounded by defenses that appeared impenetrable, Babylon believed it was untouchable.But Babylon had one fatal flaw:It measured the strength of its defenses without considering the power of the God who stood against it.Jeremiah 51 is not simply the story of an ancient kingdom's destruction. It is a warning for every nation, every church, and every believer who places confidence in anything other than God.The fortress didn't fall because it was weak.It fell because its greatest vulnerability was the one it never saw coming.Key Takeaways• Every kingdom built by man will eventually fall • God disciplines His children but never abandons them • Pride blinds us to our greatest weaknesses • False security always leads to disappointment • God remains sovereign over nations, leaders, and history • Every wall eventually falls except the Rock of Jesus Christ • What we trust reveals where our true allegiance lies • God calls His people to come out of Babylon and live differently • No earthly success can protect us from God's judgment • Christ is the only Kingdom that cannot be shakenToday's ReminderThree times in Jeremiah 51, God tells His people:"Come out of Babylon."This was more than a command to leave a city.It was a call to leave behind a way of thinking.Babylon represented pride. Babylon represented self-sufficiency. Babylon represented materialism. Babylon represented a world that believed it could thrive without God.And Babylon still exists today.Your Babylon may not be a city.It may be a career.It may be a relationship.It may be a political ideology.It may be a bank account.It may be an addiction.It may be a secret sin.Anything that captures your heart more than Christ has become your Babylon.Jeremiah 51 reminds us that every fortress eventually falls. Every empire eventually crumbles. Every earthly kingdom has an expiration date.But Jesus Christ remains.When the world shakes... He remains.When kingdoms fall... He remains.When everything else fails... He remains.The question isn't whether Babylon will fall.The question is:What are you building your life upon?Because only one Kingdom will never fall.Questions for Reflection• What Babylon am I living in today? • What am I trusting more than Christ? • Where has pride quietly taken root in my life? • Have I confused God's discipline with His rejection? • Am I investing in an earthly kingdom or an eternal one?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook • Wednesday Bible Study – BB4J Interactive Sermon Discussion • Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah51 #BabylonFell #ComeOutOfBabylon #JesusIsTheRock #KingdomOfGod #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon #ChristianLiving #TrustGod #EndTimes #Prophecy #BoldFaith #KingdomThatCannotBeShaken

Rising artist Lenexx joins Gracias, Come Again for an inspiring conversation about culture, identity, family, and the musical movement she's creating. Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and raised in Jackson Heights, Queens, Lenexx opens up about her journey from living with her abuela while her mother worked tirelessly in New York to build a better life for the family, to arriving in the U.S. at just eight years old with dreams, questions, and endless possibilities. In this episode, Lenexx reflects on her Dominican upbringing, her mother's sacrifices, and how growing up in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the world shaped her as both a person and an artist. Surrounded by Dominican, Mexican, Colombian, Indian, and countless other communities, Jackson Heights became the foundation for her global perspective. She also shares the story behind her deep connection to Brazilian culture, explaining how her best friend introduced her to Brazilian music and traditions, inspiring her to learn Portuguese and eventually record music in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Most importantly, Lenexx introduces listeners to Funketon, the genre she created by fusing Dominican rhythms, Brazilian funk, and New York energy into a sound that's entirely her own. As one of the pioneers of this emerging style, she's breaking musical boundaries while building a global fanbase. We also talk about her special relationship with Brazil, where she spent time immersing herself in the culture that has inspired so much of her music. During her stay, Brazilian fans embraced her wholeheartedly, showing immense love for both her artistry and her vision. That experience further cemented her connection to the country and reinforced her belief that music truly has no borders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Just Shoot Me!" is a sitcom that aired on NBC from 1997-2003. The show stars Laura San Giacomo as Maya Gallo, an outspoken journalist who reluctantly goes to work at her father's fashion magazine. Surrounded by an eccentric staff, Maya finds herself constantly clashing with the superficial world she's been thrown into. With its sharp ensemble cast and fast-paced writing, the series carved out its own place during NBC's legendary Must See TV era. Just Shoot Me! was both a critical darling and a commercial hit, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations while consistently delivering top-tier ratings across its seven-season run. Though it often lived in the shadow of NBC heavyweights like Friends and Frasier, the show proved it had plenty of laughs of its own. Will the S1E1 boys think this fashion magazine is cover-worthy, or should this issue have stayed on the newsstand? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Back Issues," and find out. Starring: Laura San Giacomo, George Segal, Wendie Malick, Enrico Colantoni, & David Spade www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Cindy Esliger examines what happens when we have a bigger vision for our career than our current work environment supports. Bold ideas can disappear into the ether when colleagues are more comfortable following the agenda, protecting the status quo, or doing things the same way they've always been done. Wanting to think outside the box is not a flaw, and Cindy points out that dreaming bigger is a practice, especially when fear, limited thinking, and workplace pressure make safety feel more responsible than possibility. Cindy identifies three fears that often shape career decisions: 1. Fear of failure, 2. Fear of rejection, and 3. Fear of instability. These fears are real, but they're data instead of instructions to stop. Cindy contrasts safety-driven decisions, which ask what will keep us comfortable, with aligned decisions, which ask what we need to do the work we actually came to do. She encourages us to consult our future selves by asking three questions: 1. Who have we become?, 2. What did we have to let go of to get here, and 3. What is the one thing we would tell ourselves today that would save us two years of hesitation? Cindy also challenges us to get honest about what we truly want, without requiring a business case or immediate proof that it's possible. When the answer feels buried, she offers four questions to help us uncover it: 1. If we already knew the answer, what would it be? 2. In a perfect world with no constraints on possibility, what would we want? 3. What is the thing we've always wanted but never said out loud, and 4. If nobody in our lives had an opinion about it, what would we do? Specific wants create something to plan around. The goal isn't to wait for permission from small thinkers, but to deliberately seek out generous and curious people who are willing to think bigger, explore possibilities, and support meaningful career growth.

Recorded straight from the front porch of the farm, Alan reflects on the relief—and the sudden realization—that comes after hosting a massive high school graduation party for his son, Sean. Surrounded by the ambient sounds of wind chimes and ducks, Alan explores the "Arrival Fallacy" (or Destination Fallacy): the psychological trap of using a major calendar milestone as an excuse to put the rest of your life on hold. From neglected summer bike rides to delayed office tasks, Alan unpacks why we tend to pause our daily routines for big events and challenges listeners to stop waiting for the calendar to clear before living their lives.

This episode flips the script. Instead of Larry hosting, Marc Hildebrand, one of the top coaches in the Dad Edge Business Brotherhood, a 20-year LAPD veteran, life coach, and founder of Modern Leadership, sits Larry down and interviews him. The jumping-off point is a hard statistic: most men are lonely, and the majority don't have a single friend they could call at 3am. Larry opens up about the mastermind that changed his life eleven years ago, the "cost of doing nothing" question that got him to say yes, the BRAVE MAN system his Boardroom runs on, and the August 2017 morning his wife told him he was losing her. If you're a man who's surrounded by people but still feels alone, or a business owner pouring everything into work while the rest of your life drifts, this one is a roadmap.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – The loneliness statistic and why Larry isn't surprised it's that high [3:17] – Marc introduces Larry and the role-reversal format [7:04] – The first mastermind eleven years ago and mentor Aaron Walker [8:45] – Rusty relationships and why "fine, good, busy" keeps men shallow [10:03] – The $500-a-month invitation that sounded like snake oil [11:55] – The question that changed everything: the cost of doing nothing [13:45] – Sitting with the chills, imagining life a year out, and calling back in 12 minutes [16:24] – What pulled Larry to lean in instead of talking himself out of it [19:03] – "Show me your calendar and I'll show you what's important to you" [22:59] – Why it's never the business, it's the person running the business [25:41] – The BRAVE MAN system explained category by category [29:53] – Why the room, not just the strategies, is what gets men to change [30:52] – The black belt lesson: that's when the training actually begins [35:02] – Attracting your wife back to you instead of chasing [36:22] – The August 2017 morning Jessica said "you're losing me" [40:30] – Masculine and feminine energy, and helping your wife soften [44:11] – Inside the quarterly Goal Setting Intensive [47:19] – Why the Boardroom is only 20-25% about business [50:26] – Living an "and" life instead of an "or" life [52:36] – The Dad Edge core values, read in full for the first time [58:04] – Who the room is for, and how to join the intensive   5 Key Takeaways The Cost of Doing Nothing — When weighing an investment in yourself, the real question isn't the price. It's what your life looks like a year from now if you change nothing at all. It's Never the Business — Entrepreneurs blame the business for their disconnection, burnout, and lost health. The hidden truth is that it's the person running the business, and reactivity is the pattern to break. Attract, Don't Chase — Chasing your spouse reads as needy, desperate energy. Leading from a grounded, positive masculine presence lets her soften and pulls her back toward you. Set "And" Goals, Not "Or" Goals — You don't have to choose between growing your business and connecting with your family. The right question is how one could actually strengthen the other. The Room Is the Gold — Skills and strategies matter, but transformation happens in a room of trusted men who share wins in detail, hold public accountability, and call each other forward.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1515 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central, 10 guest spots): https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode?

Surrounded by memorabilia from throughout her career, the country music trendsetter welcomes us to her Las Vegas property for a wide-ranging conversation.

Many years ago I was dealing with a very difficult challenge in our lives. I prayed and prayed and prayed about it. I fasted about it. I was so in need of heavenly help. And then, what seemed like the most obscure answer came to me. It was unexpected. It was very specific. It changed everything. We'll talk about it in today's podcast!

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I've changed...but now who am I? Midlife brings so many transitions—our bodies change, our relationships evolve, our roles shift, and the things that once defined us begin to look different. In this episode, I share some of the emotions so many women experience during this season, including grief, relief, fear, and uncertainty.

Have you ever reached the end of the day feeling completely drained?

Marine Corps machine gunner Matthew Dolan survived a massive IED blast in Fallujah, Iraq and that was only one of several moments that nearly killed him.Today's Urban Valor podcast, Matthew shares what it was like serving as an 0331 Marine machine gunner with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. He discusses deploying to Fallujah, operating as part of a quick reaction force, being shot at by an enemy he could not see, surviving a double-stacked 155mm IED, and becoming trapped inside a military vehicle as it rolled into a river.Yeah… this one gets WILD.Matthew's story isn't only about explosions and close calls.It's about growing up with a younger sister battling cystic fibrosis…Walking into a Marine Corps recruiting office after getting yelled at by his boss…Training under veterans of Operation Phantom Fury…And arriving in a completely blacked-out Fallujah as a 19-year-old kid from Kansas thinking, “What the hell did I get myself into?”Matthew describes the strange reality of fighting insurgents who rarely presented a clear target. One moment, he was searching vehicles and tracking high-value individuals. The next, he was taking sniper fire, responding to indirect fire or driving roads known for improvised explosive devices.Then came the blast.Matthew's vehicle was the fourth to cross an IED buried beneath the road. The first three vehicles passed over it without detonating the device.His didn't.The explosion cracked the vehicle's axle, tore away part of the Humvee and knocked Matthew unconscious. His fellow Marines pulled him from the vehicle, strapped him to a stretcher and rushed him to medical treatment.What happened inside the medical bay somehow became one of the funniest...and most unfiltered...IED survival stories we've ever heard.

The Devil's Ledger Week of July 13, 2026 Summer may be in full swing, but the strange stories never take a vacation. This week on The Devil's Ledger, Branden Morgan takes you from one of America's most haunted Civil War landmarks to the shadowy tunnels beneath Paris, where history—and perhaps something else—still lingers beneath the streets. In The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we visit Pennsylvania's legendary Sachs Covered Bridge, a Civil War crossing steeped in stories of ghostly soldiers, phantom gunpowder, unexplained cold spots, and shadowy figures said to patrol the bridge more than 160 years after the Battle of Gettysburg. Then we head underground on The Devil Within, as Campfire Files continues with The City Beneath the City. What begins as an ordinary vacation to Paris becomes something far more unsettling when an American couple ventures into the infamous Catacombs beneath the French capital. Surrounded by the remains of more than six million Parisians, they discover that history may not be the only thing preserved beneath the City of Light. Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn returns with another investigation into the darker side of human nature. She still won't tell Branden what she's working on, so listeners will discover the mystery together when the new episode drops this Tuesday. On The Slippery, Nancy examines the heartbreaking wrongful-conviction case of Marilyn Mulero, whose coerced confession sent her to death row for a crime she didn't commit. It's a remarkable examination of Detective Reynaldo Guevara, false confessions, and the long road toward justice. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we spotlight Evil Dead Burn, the newest chapter in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. A secluded family gathering becomes an unforgettable nightmare as an ancient evil transforms a reunion into absolute chaos. Stay cool, stay safe, and thanks for spending part of your week with us. We'll see you across the Evio Creative Universe. In This Episode •

The internet tells us that narcissists are everywhere — and that the problem is only getting worse. It's like narcissism is oozing out of our celebrities, politicians, partners, parents, maybe even ourselves?? So today, we're taking a long look in the mirror to find out: are we all a bunch of narcissists? And what should we do if we think someone in our life is a narcissist? We find out by talking to a real narcissist, Lee Hammock of the social media platform “The Self Aware Narcissist” as well as psychologists Prof. W. Keith Campbell, Prof. Kali Trzesniewski, and Dr. Craig Malkin.
