Steve Kornacki, chief data analyst for NBC News and NBC Sports, has been a household name — and an unintentional fashion icon — when it comes to election nights, particularly during the 2020 presidential election, when his round-the-clock analysis at the big board became must-see TV. He is a regular on “Meet the Press” and “NBC Nightly News,” while also bringing his signature data-driven approach to NBC Sports' coverage of the National Football League, March Madness, the Kentucky Derby and the Olympics. He joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his career and the intricacies of working with polling data, including concerns over accuracy. He also weighed in on the mayoral race in New York City, the differences in polling data between national and local elections and how the word socialism means something different today than it did decades ago.

Jack's joins the boys to chat about The Chicken Sisters Season 2, Episode 6: A Woman Always Knows, Y'allABOUT THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E06When Gus needs help, Nancy begins to wonder if Clayton is ready to support her; doubts also start to crowd Mae's mind about Clayton's presence in town.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E06:September 14, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E06:Schuyler Fisk as AmandaGenevieve Angelson as MaeLea Thompson as NancyWendie Malick as GusMargo Martindale as NarratorRukiya Bernard as SabrinaCaitlin Howden as ShawnaBRAN'S THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E06 SYNOPSIS:Gus is recovering in bed, and Sergio is keeping her company by reading her some pure smut. Frankie finally shows her mom her Instagram full of drawings that's really blowing up, and it makes Amanda genuinely happy. A big-time editor wants to set up a call, and Amanda tells Frankie it's the nicest thing anyone's done for her in a long time.Sabrina is busy prepping for the wedding, which she's enjoying. Meanwhile, Nancy says goodbye to the pastor before he leaves for his mission trip—she's not going. Their goodbye comes with a kiss.Mae finally confides in Amanda that she doesn't think Clayton is here for her. Right on cue, he shows up 30 minutes late to check on Gus, brushing it off by saying he got caught up in “business.”Nancy goes to check on her son and is shocked to find Mr. Chicken absolutely packed. They've got sports on TV, and the chicken being served is her recipe.Sabrina breaks some bad news to Mae: the flowers won't arrive in time. Amanda starts spiraling—especially since the editor is here. Meanwhile, Clayton tries to give Gus some pie, but she can tell the vibe between them has shifted.As Sabrina continues setting up chairs, the super-hot handyman from Season 1 makes his return.Nancy goes on a tear: first confronting her son for only thinking about himself, then calling out Clayton and flat-out labeling him a coward.The meeting between Amanda and the editor goes great—the editor thinks Amanda could turn her drawings into a best-selling book.Shawna serves Frank Jr. divorce papers, which he now has to legally deal with—and it's glorious.Things keep getting worse for Mae: no flowers, a storm rolling in, and then she sees Clayton loading up his suitcases.

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, author of Joy Prescriptions, and former Real Housewives of Dallas star. Tiffany opens up about the harsh realities of burnout, mom guilt, and the impossible balancing act women face in careers that don't support family life. She shares what it was really like to return to work just six weeks after giving birth to twins, the toll that lifestyle took on her mental and physical health, and how she eventually found her way back to joy. Tiffany also gives us practical tools for protecting our peace, from doing a “friend audit” to stop energy drains, to breaking free from the toxic game of comparison on social media. PLUS, she takes us behind the scenes of her time on Real Housewives, what she learned from that experience, and the life-changing safety tips everyone should know before going under anesthesia!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Comparison steals joy. Tiffany reminds us that social media often fuels the “compare and despair” cycle, but constantly measuring yourself against curated highlight reels only robs you of peace. Instead, she encourages focusing on your own progress and defining success on your terms. Do a friend audit. Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Tiffany shares how evaluating who truly uplifts you (and who drains you) can be life-changing,  sometimes the healthiest step is to shrink your circle and invest in relationships that give back. Know your anesthesia risks. Surgery isn't the time to stay quiet. Tiffany emphasizes asking about medication interactions, family history, and monitoring protocols, because informed patients are safer patients. A few questions could literally save your life.

It's the most recognizable TV theme in America. But Jeopardy's “Think Music” wasn't originally written for a game show… It was written for a toddler.

Along the way, we explore the show's sonic evolution, including honking buzzers, 80s synths, and orchestral remixes.

We look at how the crazy stuff happening in national politics is playing out right here in our hometown of Springfield, Illinois, by checking out what local radio, TV, and newspapers are saying about recent events. Why do big-name media people like Chuck Todd come to small-town radio shows to push their "both sides are equally bad" message, and how does this lazy reporting help cover up dangerous political talk? What happens when local MAGA politicians turn tragedy into a political show, and why do news outlets keep giving them airtime? We break down how the same media problems that are messing up national news are happening in Middle America too, and why paying attention to local politics helps us understand the bigger mess in American government.Audio clip in this episode is from Burke's Law (ABC-TV, 1960's)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWffko5T_xoStay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Episode 2640 - UK and USA enter into AI agreement. Political operative involved in Kirk's assassination. TV anchor resigns over Charlie Kirk. Kash Patel says no Epstein Evidence. Kirk being called a NAZI? Great show today.

If you had hundreds of millions of dollars, how would you use it? Craigslist founder Craig Newmark faces this exact “problem”—and he's working hard to give his fortune away to nonprofits tackling some of society's most urgent challenges. In this week's episode, Craig and I discuss the early days of Craigslist, its radical “revenue-minimization” strategy, and how its simple tools changed the classified ads game in the late '90s. He told me how Sunday school values shaped his approach to business, why he demoted himself to customer service rep, and what he learned by hiring a CEO to run the company he built. Our conversation explores the art of giving money away strategically: from supporting veterans and military families to investing in cybersecurity and protecting democracy. We also get personal - talking favorite TV shows, the pros and cons of AI, and the big question: how much is enough? Listen now.

 “It makes me wonder, what things happening today will we look back on years from now with similar eyes and say, 'I can't believe we let this happen?'”If you ever watched The Biggest Loser and found yourself rooting for the contestants (and maybe even feeling inspired), this episode will prompt you to look at it all through a very different lens. Today's conversation is not just about a reality TV show, but about exposing the extreme and unsafe practices it normalized, the harmful beliefs it perpetuated about health and body size, and how so many of those beliefs are still shaping our lives today.I'm breaking down the new Netflix documentary, Fit for TV, and sharing my reflections as a former viewer, a registered dietitian, and someone who now sees just how toxic shows like The Biggest Loser have been for our collective understanding of health. From unrealistic exercise routines to extreme calorie restriction, public humiliation, and the perpetuation of weight stigma, these harmful narratives stuck with me for years.We dig into the consequences contestants faced, including metabolic slowdown, weight regain, and lifelong shame, and we shine a light on why the system set us all up to fail. My hope is that after listening, you'll deepen your understanding of why dieting fails us, how weight stigma sneaks into everyday life, and what it really looks like to pursue health with compassion instead of shame.Most importantly, we talk about what you can do to unlearn these narratives and break the cycle for yourself and for those around you. Whether you watched The Biggest Loser or not, this episode will help you see diet culture with a more critical, informed, and compassionate lens.What You'll Learn:Why the practices on The Biggest Loser were incredibly unsafe, and why they were normalized for entertainmentThe reality of metabolic adaptation, weight regain, and the toll of weight cycling on our healthThe importance of challenging harmful narratives and stepping away from self-blame when diets don't “work”How weight stigma shows up in sneaky waysWhat it looks like to move forward with a healthier, more compassionate view of all bodies (including yours!)You are not failing if a diet hasn't worked for you. The system is flawed, not you. Thank you for listening and for being willing to look a little more deeply and compassionately at what we've been taught about health. If this episode resonated, I'd love for you to leave a rating and review, or share it with someone who might need to hear it too!Resources:What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat, by Aubrey Gordon"You Just Need to Lose Weight" and 19 Other Myths About Fat People, by Aubrey GordonCome back next week for another episode and connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebelStruggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

Movies like “The Goonies,” “Animal House” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” are among the most famous of those filmed in Oregon, and they're points of pride for Oregon film buffs. Television shows like “Grimm” and “Portlandia” and animation studios like Laika and ShadowMachine burnish the state’s production portfolio.   While newer projects continue to shoot in Oregon, the industry was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lengthy writers and actors strike and an industry-wide shift to overseas production. Tim Williams is the executive director of Oregon Film, a semi-independent state agency that promotes movie and TV production in Oregon. He joins us to talk about how the industry is faring in Oregon.

“If you can see that your product is selling better with better sounds, and it gets better reviews Actually, I saw a car review that scored the car better just because the sounds were better. He didn't talk about how fast it could go, how fast it could brake or how many airbags, he talked about the user experience. A car today is a driving iPad on wheels. So, all these sounds here, I got so stressed from these beeps and boops, suddenly it was too close to the edge, or too close to that... sometimes there wasn't even a thing, and it just starts to, what was that? Was a fly running through the camera? What was it? So, I think it's so important that we also choose brands and products with our ears as well with our eyes, and also with our wallets.” – Karsten Kjems This episode's guest was raised in a musical home with a studio in the basement. He began drumming professionally at 23, and his passion for sound design and early use of digital audio tools like ProTracker on the Amiga shaped his approach to music and technology. While working at a branding agency, he noticed companies struggling to define their sonic identity, leading him to launch one of the first strategic audio branding agencies, Sonic Minds, in 2004. Today, he's a recognized expert in the field, frequently speaking and teaching about sound design.His name is Karsten Kjems, and you'll want to hear more about his perspective on brand sounds, why he believes audio branding to be so important, and what sets good and bad sound apart. If you're still on the fence about audio branding for your own company, or if you're struggling to explain why it's important to your clients, you should definitely check out this conversation.

(0:00:00) - The Power of Sound in BrandingAs we start things off, Karsten shares his early memories of sound, and how growing up with ADHD in a musical family shaped his formative years. “I was brought up in a family where my father was a drummer,” Karsten recalls, “so I've always been around musicians and music and the first time I really discovered that I had this almost perfect pitch was when I went to music school.” He explains how a surprising discovery at a concert led to his career in marketing and audio branding, and the seismic shift that the streaming era – and particularly the rise of YouTube – represented for the industry. “Suddenly brands and companies need to communicate in these spheres,” he tells us. “How did they do that? How did they choose music? How should they buy music? So it's a whole new game, from only being on TV and radio to being on all the time, to keep… producing content all the time.”(0:12:18) - Designing Meaningful Audio Branding ExperiencesOur conversation turns to UX and branding through sound design, and Karsten points out how ubiquitous sound interfaces have become these days. “A headset, a modern headset, for whatever company, it can have up to around 15 different sounds,” he...

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Ever feel like running your agency is just one long grind of “good enough” projects, endless deadlines, and late-night work sessions? Most agency owners start out chasing freedom, only to find themselves trapped by clients, culture challenges, and their own workaholic habits. Today's featured guest is certainly familiar with this cycle, so how was he able to build a business that works for him instead of the other way around? By focusing on clarity, culture, and constant evolution. Dan Fisher is the founder of Bottle Rocket Media, a Chicago-based video production and digital marketing firm. Before running his agency, Dan spent a decade in television, including a long stretch as an editor at The Oprah Winfrey Show. What started as “making a few videos for people” turned into a full-fledged agency after his partner joined. Today, Bottle Rocket Media blends storytelling with digital strategy to help brands communicate with impact. In this episode, we'll discuss: Data meets creativity. The agency he “thought he should build” Culture as a compass. Redefining work and energy.

He was a New York kid, worked on TV production in LA, and then got tapped on the shoulder for a gig at Oprah. When he landed in Chicago, he figured he'd be there a couple of years. Ten years later, he had a family, a house, and roots that weren't going anywhere. After leaving TV (not a moment too soon, according to him), he just started making videos for people. Then his partner came on board, and suddenly it was more than a side hustle. It was a real business. That's when Dan realized he was no longer just a TV guy—he was running an agency. What TV Taught Him About Storytelling TV wasn't all glitz. Dan loved the storytelling, the cameras, the lights. However, running a daily show can crush even the strongest souls. Deadlines piled on top of deadlines. Three to four episodes a week meant three to four immovable deadlines every week. Still, it gave him his 10,000 hours. He learned how to tell stories fast, direct, edit, and manage creative teams. Most importantly, TV taught Dan the importance of knowing your audience. At Oprah, there was always an “audience of one”—Oprah herself. He'd have the version he wanted to tell, and then the version she'd actually approve. That lesson carried into agency life: storytelling isn't about you, it's about your client. You're not making an indie film; you're telling their story in a way that serves their brand. The Continual Evolvement of Creativity Bottle Rocket Media isn't trying to be Hollywood. They focus on nonfiction storytelling, documentary-style content, education-driven pieces, spokespeople, and commercial spots. What makes their approach stand out is how they marry creative instincts with marketing data. Working in the creative field never ceases to surprise Dan who, even now, expects something to land well with audiences and sees the complete opposite happen. This is why he and his team lean into A/B testing. Sometimes it's the tiniest tweak: a subject line in an email, a color shift in a graphic, or moving the ending to the front of a video. It's a reminder agency owners need: you can be confident in your craft, but the market has the final say. From Filmmaker to CEO When he started, Dan assumed he'd be miserable doing the “operations” side. But mentoring, managing, and building a team turned out to be just as rewarding as calling “action” and “cut.” He's learned the balance between doing and teaching. Having 10,000 hours of experience doesn't mean you always tell the story better than a fresh intern. It means you know how to refine, manipulate, and see perspectives others might miss. At Bottle Rocket Media, they encourage collaboration. Editors critique each other's work. Ideas bounce around. And Dan stays focused on a critical question every creative leader should ask: Am I making it better, or just making it different? From “Good Enough” to Defining Excellence It took Dan years to reach what he calls his maturity, after trying to be “the agency he thought he should be”. Eventually, after banging his head against the wall for a long time, he realized the power of clarity—both personally and professionally. He started the business as a way to make ends meet after leaving TV, but it was time to define his goals with the agency and make it his own. Once he stopped chasing someone else's model and leaned into his own strengths, everything changed. The real turning point wasn't in working harder, but in defining what success actually looked like for him and his team. Culture as a Compass Clarity doesn't just guide you, it's also something you can instill in your team. Once Dan started defining his agency's beliefs, he could attract people who truly fit. To him, if your team is not going in the same direction, then what's the point? But culture hasn't been easy, especially post-pandemic. Bottle Rocket Media runs on a hybrid model: three mandatory in-office days, with Mondays and Fridays remote. For Dan, it was about letting go of his old Gen X “first one in, last one out” mentality and adapting to a younger workforce. The result is a stronger, more unified team—even if they're not physically together every day. Redefining Work and Energy Coming from TV, where it's not rare to work up to 70 hours a week, Dan initially started his agency using the volume model, which is what he knew. Once the business was up and running, his hours were still pretty similar to what he was used in TV. Eventually, however, it got to a point where a trusted employee expressed he was at his breaking point, and Dan knew it was time to dial down. Working beyond a certain limit didn't make him better, it was just making him an ineffective leader. That shift changed how he managed his team, starting by cutting off the bottom 20% and elevating the types of projects they do. This way, with clear goals and clear deadlines, he's building the kind of leadership that creates loyalty and sustainability. Always Be Evolving The agency game changes daily. Right now, AI is shaking up video and digital marketing. What worked yesterday won't always work tomorrow. If you want your agency to survive, curiosity is the ultimate skill. Test, adapt, and don't get too comfortable. That philosophy is why Dan's agency has evolved from purely video into a full digital offering. On the video side, he had to learn how to let go and empower others. On the digital side, he leans entirely on his team's expertise. In both cases, growth depends on staying open to new approaches and trusting the right people to execute them. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

It was during college that they started performing sketch comedy together, and they both moved to Los Angeles in the '90s to pursue Hollywood dreams. Since then, Brian and Mark have worked together on films and TV shows, including the family adventure movie “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a 2019 superhero horror film called “Brightburn” featuring Elizabeth Banks. Their first project that made it big was a movie and series called “2gether,” which debuted on MTV in 2000. It was a hilarious parody of the boy band era of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC and it was influential on the development of AMDG host Mike Jordan Laskey's sense of humor. The actors playing the boy band became an actual boy band themselves, opening for Britney Spears and hitting the Billboard charts with two different albums. If you are an elder millennial, all we have to say is, “I know my calculus,” and you'll sing back: “You plus me equals us.” Mike asked Brian and Mark about their family and their Jesuit education, how they work together as a writing team, and what it's like to work in the film industry. Mark and Brian also shared some creative tips they've learned in more than a quarter century in the trade. Finally, Mike couldn't let them go without reminiscing about “2gether” and marveling at the fact that 25 years after the movie's debut, the most popular film in the world right now is another movie about a fictional boy band. Though this new one is composed of demons and they're being hunted by a KPop girl group... Anyway, we think you'll enjoy this sneak peek into the lives of Hollywood screenwriters. www.jesuits.org/ www.beajesuit.org/ twitter.com/jesuitnews facebook.com/Jesuits instagram.com/wearethejesuits youtube.com/societyofjesus www.jesuitmedialab.org/
