Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

Artificial Intelligence promises to transform medicine, productivity, education, science and nearly every industry on the planet. There's just one small problem... Some of the people building the most powerful AI systems in the world are starting to worry about what they're creating. On today's TraderMerlin, we're looking at an extraordinary development in the AI race. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk—three major competitors who rarely agree on much—are suddenly finding common ground: AI may be advancing too quickly. Amodei recently called for the industry to slow the pace of frontier AI development, warning that AI capabilities have accelerated dramatically and that safety research may not be keeping pace. Even more interesting? Sam Altman agreed. Elon Musk agreed. When the CEOs racing to build the world's most powerful AI systems start talking about hitting the brakes, it's probably worth paying attention. We'll discuss: How Fast Is AI Advancing? – Why the pace of improvement is raising new concerns Anthropic's Warning – Why Dario Amodei wants more time devoted to AI safety OpenAI – Why Sam Altman says the industry may need to "pace the frontier" Elon Musk – Why one of AI's longtime critics is backing the call for caution AI Agents – What happens when AI systems begin acting increasingly independently? Jobs & Society – What happens if AI capabilities advance faster than workers and institutions can adapt? Regulation – Can governments realistically regulate technology moving this quickly? The Investment Boom – What would slower AI development mean for Nvidia, data centers, energy demand and the massive AI capital-spending cycle? And that's where today's discussion gets particularly interesting. These executives aren't arguing that AI should disappear. Quite the opposite. They believe AI could create enormous benefits for humanity. The concern is whether our ability to control, understand and safely deploy AI can keep pace with our ability to make it more powerful. The question may no longer be whether we can build increasingly powerful AI. It's whether we can tame the monster we're creating. Listen now:

Singapore's AI maturity has rebounded, but a critical execution gap threatens to undermine record investments. While agentic AI adoption has doubled to 51% in 2026, only 10% have redesigned end-to-end workflows. This "Pacesetter" minority achieves significantly higher ROI, highlighting the difference between buying AI and building an enterprise around it—a lesson for Southeast Asia.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Colin Tan, country manager for ServiceNow Singapore, explains to us what the most recent ServiceNow study reveals about agentic AI adoption in Singapore.Colin, welcome to PodChats for FutureCIO.1.       Strategy & Ambition: In the ServiceNow study, 68% of organisations cited inadequate data accuracy, access, and management as on-going challenges. How do we modernise our data architecture to provide the clean, connected, and real-time intelligence AI agents need to act reliably at scale?2.       Infrastructure & Scale: As agentic AI generates exponentially more network traffic and computational demand, is our current infrastructure resilient enough to handle this surge, or are we risking a "digital congestion collapse" that undermines performance and agility?3.       Workflow Orchestration: While 51% of Singapore enterprises now use agentic AI, only 10% have redesigned end-to-end workflows. How do we shift from automating isolated tasks to orchestrating autonomous, cross-functional workflows that deliver measurable business transformation?4.       Taming "Agent Sprawl": As autonomous agents proliferate across departments, they risk creating new technical debt and fragmentation. How do we architect a unified control plane to gain visibility, manage permissions, and prevent chaotic, disconnected agent deployments?5.       Governance & Risk: Governance is the prerequisite for autonomous AI. How do we build a living governance framework that provides continuous oversight, embeds trust and transparency, and ensures accountability before agents operate at scale?6.       Singapore's IMDA published the world's first governance framework for agentic AI. How are Singapore enterprises keeping pace with the standard the government has set for the country?7.       Measuring New Value: As AI shifts from efficiency to revenue creation and new business models, how should we evolve our metrics to accurately capture the value of AI-enabled agility, innovation, and competitive differentiation—not just cost savings?8.       Lesson from Pacesetters: The ServiceNow study shows that a "Pacesetter" minority, who redesign work around AI, can achieve significantly higher ROI than those that simply layer AI onto existing processes. What can we learn from Pacesetters?

Gabby Reece joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan on the Pinch My Salt podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about Laird Hamilton, the WNBA and women's sports, Title IX, transgender athletes in sports, Nike, Tinker Hatfield, MTV Sports, Florida State volleyball, big-wave surfing, surf culture, fitness, family, relationships and life behind one of surfing's most recognizable couples. Gabby Reece opens up about how she met Laird Hamilton while interviewing him, the early days of their relationship, helping Laird navigate the business side of big-wave surfing, and becoming what Pinch My Salt calls the “Momfather” of surf culture. Gabby also tells the story behind her Nike signature shoe designed by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, her days on MTV Sports during the rise of extreme sports, her volleyball career at Florida State, and how she went from growing up in St. Thomas to becoming one of the most recognizable female athletes of her generation. The conversation takes a serious turn when Gabby gives her perspective on the WNBA, women's sports, Title IX, biological differences in competition, transgender athletes and protecting opportunities for young female athletes. As someone whose own college opportunity came through athletics, Gabby explains why the debate matters to her and why she believes the conversation has become unnecessarily political. Gabby also talks about training, health, aging, raising daughters with Laird Hamilton, what their family is actually like behind closed doors, and why surfing will probably always be Laird's “girlfriend.” And because this is Pinch My Salt, things eventually go completely off the rails. Gabby reveals whether she was Laird's “sugar mama,” talks about her Playboy shoot, jokes about starting an OnlyFans for her size-12 feet, and tells the hilarious story behind a naked Body Issue photo shoot with Laird where he was VERY unhappy about the situation. From Nike and MTV to volleyball, women's sports, WNBA controversy, big-wave surfing, Laird Hamilton, Shane Dorian, fitness, marriage and surf culture, this is a side of Gabby Reece you probably haven't heard before.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Ryan Miller, who returns to the Man Within Podcast to dive deep into his new book Meek as a Mustang. Ryan unpacks the misunderstood biblical virtue of meekness, exploring it not as weakness but as God-given strength and the transformative process of becoming like a tamed wild mustang in the hands of the King. The conversation covers personal stories, biblical insights, practical applications for spiritual growth, battling sin (including pornography), and the importance of wilderness seasons in the Christian walk. Ryan also shares testimonies from people he has met who embody meekness, explains how to practically navigate temptation and accountability, and gives a preview of his upcoming projects.   SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good   RYAN'S RESOURCES: Meek as a Mustang book Website   Timestamps: 01:10 Why Ryan wrote a book about meekness 03:04 Taming wild Mustangs & mentoring troubled boys 06:02 Meekness as God's whisper during anxiety and failure 12:44 Story of Carol Ward – martyrdom through perfect love 18:11 The process of taming a wild Mustang as a metaphor for the spiritual journey 21:38 CIA agent's perspective: meekness as relinquishing ownership 27:10 Practical steps to dealing with temptation and accountability 44:52 The paradox of meekness: becoming fearless by surrendering everything 50:00 The wilderness season: Biblical examples and how to embrace it

 In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I continue in Exodus Chapter 12 verse 4 Chapter 12Verses 1 – 20              The Passover InstitutedVerses 21 – 28            The Passover CommunicatedVerse 31 – 14:31         Yahweh's Deliverance of IsraelVerse OutlineVerses 1-2 = MonthVerses 3-11 = The SymbolVerses 12-13 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 14-17 = The SymbolVerses 17 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 18-20 = The Month The Institution of the PassoverThe deliverance from Egypt [which is symbolic of bondage] is to be not only from physical but also from spiritual slavery. Israel [whom El commands or rules] is to be freed from all heathen influences and consecrated to the service of Yahweh. These commandments concerning Passover open the religious legislation of the Torah. The occasion when they were given and the manner in which they were enjoined emphasize the basic importance of that Festival in the life and history of Israel. The Exodus from Egypt is not only one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the Jews, but one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the world. This Exodus proves without a shadow of doubt that Yahweh is the most powerful Creator throughout the world, has He defeated all the gods of the Egyptians.  4    If the household be too little = That is, if there be not persons enough in one family to eat a whole lamb, then two families must join together. The rabbis claim that there should be at least ten persons to one paschal lamb, and not more than twenty. Josephus tells us in “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, “from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice [for it is not lawful for them to feast to themselves], and many of us are twenty in a company etc. Side note: this number of a company for one Passover lamb, between ten and twenty, agrees exactly with the number thirteen, at our Saviors last Passover.5    Without blemish = Having no natural imperfection, no disease, no deficiency or redundancy of parts. On this point the rabbis have trifled most bizarre, calculating fifty blemishes that make a lamb or kid, or any animal, improper to be sacrificed: five in the ear, three in the eyelid, eight in the eye, three in the nose, six in the mouth, etc., etc.A male of the first year = That is, any age in the first year between eight days and twelve months. The Rabbis take this to mean within the first year of its birth. ‘This tender age, the type of innocence, made it peculiarly adapted for a sacrifice of the Covenant to be concluded between Elohim and Israel as a nation.'From the sheep, or from the goats = The שה  seh means either; and either was equally proper if without blemish. The Hebrews however in general preferred the lamb to the kid.6   The whole assembly - shall kill it = Any person might kill the lamb, the sacrificial act in this case not being confined to the priests.In the evening = בין הערבים  beyn haarbayim, “between the two evenings.” The Jews divided the day into morning and evening: till the sun passed the meridian all was morning or before-noon; after that, all was afternoon or evening. Their first evening began just after twelve o'clock, and continued till sunset; their second evening began at sunset and continued till night, i.e., during the whole time of twilight; between twelve o'clock, therefore, and the termination of twilight, the Passover was to be offered.“The day among the Jews had twelve hours, John 11:9. Their first hour was about six o'clock in the morning with us. Their sixth hour was our noon. Their ninth hour answered to our three o'clock in the afternoon. By this we may understand that the time in which the Messiah was crucified began at the third hour, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, the ordinary time for the daily morning sacrifice, and ended at the ninth hour, that is, three o'clock in the afternoon, the time of the evening sacrifice, Mark 15:25, 33, 34, 37. Therefore their ninth hour was their hour of prayer, when they used to go into the temple at the daily evening sacrifice, Acts 3:1; and this was the ordinary time for the Passover. It is worthy of remark that Yahweh sets no particular hour for the killing of the Passover: any time between the two evenings, i.e., between twelve o'clock in the day and the termination of twilight, was lawful. The daily sacrifice (see Exo. 29:38, 39) was killed at half past the eighth hour, that is, half an hour Before three in the afternoon; and it was offered up at half past the ninth hour, that is, half an hour After three. In the evening of the Passover it was killed at half past the seventh hour, and offered at half past the eighth, that is, half an hour Before three: and if the evening of the Passover fell on the evening of the Sabbath, it was killed at half past the Sixth hour, and offered at half past the Seventh, that is, half an hour Before two in the afternoon. The reason of this was, they were first obliged to kill the daily sacrifice, and then to kill and roast the paschal lamb, and also to rest the evening before the Passover. Agreeably to this Maimonides says ‘the killing of the Passover is after mid-day, and if they kill it before it is not lawful; and they do not kill it till after the daily evening sacrifice, and burning of incense: and after they have trimmed the lamps they begin to kill the paschal lambs until the end of the day.' By this time of the day Elohim foreshowed the sufferings of Yahshua Messiah in the evening of times or in the last days, Hebrews 1:2; 1Peter 1:19, 20 : and about the same time of the day, when the paschal lamb ordinarily died, He died also, viz., at the ninth hour; Matthew 27:46-50.” Once again Josephus gives us an insight on this “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, ‘So these high priests, upon the coming of that feast which is called the Passover, when they slay their sacrifices, from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice, (for it is not lawful for them to feast singly by themselves,) and many of us are twenty in a company, found the number of sacrifices was two hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundred; which, upon the allowance of no more than ten that feast together, amounts to two millions seven hundred thousand and two hundred persons that were pure and holy; for as to those that have the leprosy, or the gonorrhea, or women that have their monthly courses, or such as are otherwise polluted, it is not lawful for them to be partakers of this sacrifice; nor indeed for any foreigners neither, who come hither to worship.'7    take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts, etc. = as a sign of safety to those within. The posts must be considered of tents, in which the Israelites generally lived, though some might be in houses. Though the Israelites were sinners as well as the Egyptians, Elohim was pleased to accept the substitution of a lamb - the blood of which, being seen sprinkled, by using a bunch of hyssop dipped in the lamb's blood, on the doorposts, procured them mercy. It was to be on the side posts and upper doorposts, where it might be looked to, not on the threshold, where it might be trodden under foot. This was an emblem of the blood of sprinkling (Hebrews 12:24; 10:29).8    and they shall eat = ‘'âkal' ‘‘aw-kal'' aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the bent palm representing the bending or subduing of the will, the Hebrew Letter ‘lamed' is a picture of a shepherd staff or yoke. Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use. Taming include; construction of holding pens, putting the soil to the plow, harvesting of crops, milk or meat. One eats once the harvest is complete. Spiritually speaking we are not talking about any type of flesh. By adding the ‘eth' we are looking forward to the time when the true Passover Lamb will lay down His life for you and I. By partaking in the eating and drinking of the bread and wine.Have any questions? Feel free to email me keitner2024@outlook.com

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT NOTHING BUT LOVE A TV director returns to her theater roots for a Shakespeare festival and runs into an old flame, rekindling a merry war of wits in this modern retelling of "Much Ado About Nothing." AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR NOTHING BUT LOVE August 29, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF NOTHING BUT LOVE Director: Shamim Sarif Writers: Ramona Barckert, Neal Dodson, William Shakespeare Cast: Ashley Williams as Bea Bishop Niall Matter as Benny Gersten BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS It's time for the Summer Shakespeare Festival and Bea Bishop has arrived ahead of the show she's directing - The Taming of the Shrew. She is pumped, or should I say WAS pumped until she finds out Benny, a popular actor, is going to be the love interest for the play. She's not thrilled because clearly they have a history. Her mom is the one who runs the festival but she's going to retire. Bea says that SHE wants to take it over and her mom is thrilled. The cast gets together for the first time for pizza that Benny brings. Benny meets his leading lady for the first time. Her name is Hannah and it's clear that Hannah has a thing for another guy in the play, Clay. When Benny sees them, he tells Bea to make Clay the lead instead, which she does. Bea finds out that there are some more hoops to leap through before the board approves her to be the new director of the festival. Apparently, there's a buyer interested in purchasing the festival. If the play isn't a success, they need to sell. SO THE STAKES ARE HIGH! She tells Benny about this and they agree to a peace treaty to work together to save the festival. So turns out, Benny was right about Clay and Hannah....a little too right. Bea and Benny follow them into town and see them kiss big ones! Bea is worried that this isn't going to be great for the play - it's going to distract them. So Bea goes to talk to her about it and Hannah is like we're falling in love. Bea is like it's not real love, it's festival love. Hannah disagrees. Bea says this happened to her once - she fell for Benny during their play together and got a bad review, calling her distracted. That's why she ultimately became a director. She tells Hannah if all you're thinking about is how much you're in love with Clay, it's going to affect your performance. Benny ends up having the same conversation with Clay. Hannah and Clay decide they should try to get Bea and Benny together. It gives us a couple of great scenes. Benny and Bea end up getting coffee together and talk through some changes they want to make to the play and then they're getting ready to talk about their feelings but they get interrupted. They begin to wonder if splitting Hannah and Clay up is doing more harm than good. There's a party where everyone is in Shakespearean garb and Bea and Benny try to reverse what they've done and get Hannah and Clay back together, but they end up slow dancing together in the process. The next day, Benny asks if she wants to go for a bite. She's like did you say date? And he's like no I said bite, but yes a date please. She says yes. And they tell each other that they like and love each other via crayon on the table. The SPARKS are flying. On the walk home, they both talk about how they overheard the other actors talking about how they are into each other. IT WAS ALL A BIG TRICK?! This is quite the misunderstanding and she's like well thank goodness we didn't kiss! This argument gets interrupted with a text - Hannah is leaving. She can't handle the pressure of saving this festival. So they all agree it would be best if Benny and Bea took over the lead roles and it's going great! But THEN she hears that Benny told Clay that whoever takes over running the festival has impossibly large shoes to fill. She's like you don't think I can do it! He realizes he done goofed. He needs to figure out a way to show her that not only does he believe she can run this festival, but show her that the love wasn't a trick. He runs to the airport to stop Hannah from leaving and get her to come back and do the show, which she does! The play is going great. The run is sold out. Bea goes to talk to her mom backstage and her mom tells her that her only regret in doing this is that she only focused on her job, not her heart. She encourages her to be sure she tends to her heart. The show is a SMASH hit! After the show, she finds out that they don't need to sell. The board approves of Bea running the festival moving forward! She goes to find Benny. She asks how he got Hannah to come back, and he says "I told her that all she needs to know is that Bea believes in you. When I know that Bea believes in me, I feel like I can do anything." He says I also knew I couldn't play this role with you because I wouldn't be able to hide my feelings for you. She says I wanna be with you and I wanna run this festival with you. She says kiss me you fool and kiss they do, followed by a spin and dip! Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Ep 254 One World in a New World with Steve PasinWhat if some of our deepest beliefs about love, truth, choice, spirituality—and even human goodness—are stories we've never seriously tested?In this provocative episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Steve Pasin for a conversation that quickly becomes a spirited exploration of epigenetics, human nature, consciousness, quantum physics, truth, free will, relationships, cooperation, and the beliefs that shape our lives.Steve traces his inquiry back to a painful childhood experience. At five years old, after being struck by the father he regarded as his hero, he remembers making a defining internal decision: "I don't want to be like you." Decades later, he came to interpret that experience through the lens of epigenetics and began investigating how thought, stress, decision-making, and biology might interact.The conversation becomes especially compelling when Steve presents his challenging thesis: human beings are fundamentally driven to win, control, dominate, and be right.Zen pushes back.What about love? Service? Cooperation? Conscious evolution? Can humanity transcend patterns of dominance—or are cooperation and altruism simply more sophisticated expressions of our survival instinct?Rather than avoiding their disagreement, Steve and Zen explore it.They wrestle with the difference between truth and opinion, scientific proof and direct experience, the observer effect, visualization, relationships, free will, entropy, spirituality, the nature of self, and whether humanity can build systems based on cooperation rather than aggression. The transcript also includes speculative interpretations of quantum physics and consciousness; these are presented as part of their dialogue and inquiry, not as established scientific conclusions.Perhaps the most important lesson isn't which man is right.It's what happens when two people can strongly challenge one another, remain curious, and keep listening.In a culture increasingly divided by certainty, can disagreement become a pathway to discovery rather than conflict?Join us and decide for yourself.Questions the Episode ExploresAre humans fundamentally wired to win, control, dominate, and be right?How do we distinguish truth from belief, opinion, and personal experience?Can an early childhood decision influence the trajectory of an entire life?What can epigenetics legitimately tell us about experience and biological expression?Can cooperation coexist with our drive for survival?Does love ultimately involve getting something we need from another person?Is free will real, constrained, or illusory?Can direct experience constitute evidence?What happens when science encounters experiences it cannot yet measure?Can humanity move from dominance toward genuine collaboration?Most importantly: Can two people disagree deeply without becoming enemies?Steve's Website: https://tamingthefetaltyrant.com/Steve's book, Taming the Fetal Tyrant: https://amzn.to/4wEK20A#StevePasin, #HumanNature, #Epigenetics, #Consciousness, #CriticalThinking, #HumanBehavior, #Truth, #OneWorldinaNewWorldJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8

Peloton favorite, ESPN host, and sideline reporter Jess Sims sits down for an intimate, vulnerable conversation about what it truly means to slow down, listen to your gut, and navigate life’s biggest transitions. Jess opens up about expanding her broadcast career onto national stages like First Take and College GameDay, how she actively quiets her inner "Gremlin," and why she now filters every new opportunity through the question: “At what cost?” She also shares how she navigated the profound grief of losing her father, what a multi-year injury journey taught her about self-worth and starting over, and the power of embracing neutral self-talk over toxic positivity. IN THIS EPISODE Slowing Down & Setting Boundaries: Why Jess is moving away from the "it'll slow down after this project" mentality and how she creates restorative space at her upstate home. Expanding Her Role at ESPN: Entering her fifth year, making the leap into guest-hosting First Take, and the distinct mindset shift required for live national television debates. Taming the "Inner Gremlin": Recognizing negative self-talk, separating automatic emotional reactions from intentional responses, and leading with gut instinct. Aligning Decisions with Your Mission: Rooting choices in core values (health, community, purpose) and learning how Jess's background in education and team sports shaped her lifelong mission to uplift others. Navigating Difficult Conversations: Why clarity gives you what you need (even if it’s not what you want) and the courage required to live outside the gray area. Grief, Loss, and Honor: Experiencing the loss of her father, reframing the non-linear nature of grief, and creating space for raw emotion in fitness classes and community spaces. Reframing Injury as Information: Overcoming a torn meniscus, finding joy in being a beginner again, and keeping identity separate from physical output. Her Current Training Stack: Transitioning away from marathon training, working with a personal trainer, and balancing discipline with real-life fun. Neutrality Over Toxic Positivity: How Jess looks in the mirror today, embracing imperfection, and giving herself grace on the days when "positive" feels out of reach. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "Becoming is better than being ... there's something about learning that excites me." "Clarity gives you what you need, even if it doesn't give you what you want." "I'm me. I'm never going to be anyone else. Might as well hype myself up in the best way that I can. And if I can't push myself to positive, just keep it to neutral."

New Updates, YouTube Fun, Talking Books & Lawn-Care Adventures! This episode is a bit of a smorgasbord—and we think you’ll find plenty to dig into! We kick things off with a reminder about You’ve Got YouTube, then celebrate a major update to the National Library Service’s digital Talking Book player. And because no episode is complete without a little everyday-life adventure, we wrap things up with some lawn-care talk and a few of Chris’s amusing stories. You’ve Got YouTube — It’s Not Too Late! Our two-part virtual event, You’ve Got YouTube, begins August 18, 2026, but there’s still time to sign up! If you happen to miss Session One, you can join us live for Session Two on August 25. Both sessions will be recorded, so you won’t miss out if your schedule doesn’t cooperate. We’ll visit some of what makes YouTube such a useful and surprisingly accessible resource—from navigating the platform and finding content to discovering channels, creators, and all sorts of things worth watching. And yes, we’re pretty excited about showing you just how much there is to explore! A Big Update for the NLS Digital Talking Book Player Next up, we’ve got some genuinely exciting news for fans of the National Library Service digital Talking Book player. The player can now do more than play books from BARD. With the update, you can also access: * Magazines and newspapers from NFB-NEWSLINE® * Content from Bookshare.org * A particularly exciting new feature for headphone users * And more! We take you through the new features in our demo and review several options so you can get a better sense of what’s possible. One quick audio note: we found that the volume on our players was sometimes a little softer than we’d prefer. We did our best to compensate during post-production, and we hope our explanations and descriptions help if some portions of the demo are difficult to hear. Sorry about that! Lawn Care: The Great Seasonal Cleanup Finally, we’re turning our attention outdoors. Depending on where you are, you’re either heading toward fall or spring, which means lawn cleanup may be moving up your to-do list. We talk about our own experiences finding lawn-maintenance services, what we’ve learned along the way, and some of the things to consider when deciding what kind of help is right for you. And, naturally, Chris has a few stories to tell. Because somehow with us even lawn care can become an adventure. Whether you’re looking for occasional cleanup, regular maintenance, or simply trying to figure out what services are available, we hope our experiences give you some useful ideas. Thanks, as always, for listening! We’ll talk to you in September!

Bird nerd meets cork dork in this summer break re-release of Montefalco Sagrantino, a beloved wine named for a king's beloved birds. Since your host is on break this month, most likely engaging in her new kink, bird watching, we're reaching back into the archives for bird-themed episodes that you can enjoy anywhere you find yourself this summer ... even on the back deck with a glass of wine in one hand, and a bird app in the other.  Originally released in July 2022, this episode explores the wines of Montefalco Sagrantino. A unique grape, cool birds, and a special growing region, along with a rich history, make this one of the host's favorite wines.  Resources from this episode: Books: Wine Grapes: A Complete Guide to 1,368 Vine Varieties, Including Their Origins and Flavours [Kindle Edition], Robinson, J., Harding, J., & Vouillamoz, J.

The Columbia River bar is a fierce, yet beautiful body of water, spanning across Oregon and Washington. With over 2000 shipwrecks reported since 1792, it is also known as “The Graveyard of the Pacific.” In 1855, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began the construction of a jetty system, as a means to tame the dangerous ocean currents from the Pacific. Oregon filmmakers Brett Eichenberger and Jill Remensynder’s new documentary “Taming the Mouth,” chronicles this history and how it reverberates today on this vital waterway in our region.

Mike Verret last joined the show in 2021, back when it was still finding its way under a different name. He's back with a sharper, more focused message: the reason most pitches, whether for a speaking gig, a podcast guest slot, or a networking room, fall flat isn't the words. It's that the person pitching is thinking like a business when the person listening is thinking like a human.Mike spent fourteen years in advertising and agency work before six years on-site at Hasbro Toys, where his job flipped from "think like the audience" to "think like the business," and back again once they discovered he could actually talk to a room. That whiplash is where his framework comes from.In this episode, John and Mike cover why an "I help" statement is the fastest way to sound like everyone else on LinkedIn, how to turn an elevator pitch into an eight-floor conversation instead of a monologue, why the order you deliver information in matters more than the information itself, and why AI-written pitches are becoming easier, not harder, for audiences to spot. Mike also shares the Hasbro Monopoly Cheaters Edition story: a single audience insight and three slides that sold 500,000 units.If you've ever frozen up trying to explain what you do in under thirty seconds, or wondered why your polished LinkedIn "I help" line isn't landing bookings, this one's for you.Guest: Mike Verret, founder of Pitch Lab, former agency and Hasbro Toys communications director.Connect with Mike: linkedin.com/in/mike-verretPitch Lab (membership, founding rate $99/month for the first 30 members) connect with Mike on LinkedIn to find out more.Want to check out my chat with Mike from 5 or so years ago? https://player.captivate.fm/episode/5d6eb0be-87a4-427c-b568-7ff34507c7e5/ CHAPTERS00:00 Business vs Human Pitch00:35 Meet Mike Verret04:02 Hasbro Pitch Lessons06:27 Instant Audience Connection10:52 Set Expectations Fast12:23 Pitching Speaking Gigs14:43 Ditch the I Help17:11 Practice for Authenticity18:46 AI Voice Pitfalls24:51 Order Beats Content26:34 Taming the What Ifs28:46 Stop Catastrophizing29:30 Emotion Beats Logic30:03 Curiosity And Closure30:17 Rethinking Elevator Pitches31:42 Eight Floor Pitch Framework34:21 Benefits And Proof36:11 Fixing Bad Guest Pitches40:04 New Offers Pitch Lab43:53 Think Like A Human45:57 Monopoly Cheaters Edition48:18 How To Connect50:38 Wrap Up And Next EpisodesFAQ SectionWhy do most professional speakers' pitches sound the same? Most speakers pitch from a business mindset rather than a human one. They lead with credentials, services, or an "I help X achieve Y" statement, all of which are common phrasing patterns that blend into every other pitch an audience or booker has already heard.What's wrong with the "I help" statement in a LinkedIn bio or pitch? The "I help" opening, sometimes called StoryBrand Mad Libs, is one of the most common ways professionals open a pitch, which means it carries no differentiation. Using verbs like "I guide" or "I assist," or reframing the sentence around the audience's outcome rather than the speaker's service, creates more distinctiveness.Is the elevator pitch still relevant for professional speakers? Yes, but not as a scripted monologue. An effective elevator pitch is structured as a conversation with predictable stages: what you do, who you help, how you help them, the benefit to them, and proof it works. Each stage should prompt the listener to ask a follow-up question rather than switch off.Why do audiences disengage from AI-written pitches and bios? Audiences increasingly recognise AI-generated phrasing, including consistent cadence and punctuation patterns such as em dashes. Once a listener or reader identifies content as AI-written, their engagement and trust in it drops, even if the underlying information came from the person themselves.What causes stage fright before a pitch or presentation? Pre-presentation anxiety is often driven by catastrophic "what if" thinking: imagining unlikely negative outcomes before speaking. Naming this pattern and consciously redirecting attention toward likely positive audience responses reduces its grip.Why does the order of information matter in a pitch? A pitch organised in the order the speaker's business thinks in (services first, credentials first) rarely matches the order an audience needs to understand and retain it. Presenting connection, then problem, then process, then benefit, then proof follows how a listener processes new information, which increases retention.Are you a speaker who wants to be better known, more booked and paid what you're worth?

Is your daily speech building community or tearing it down? Rev. Obeng explains that replacing our default setting of anger and conflict with gracious conversation requires intentional "spiritual genetic engineering." Join us to explore how regular communion with the Holy Spirit transforms how we think and speak.

Learn to bring your desires under the control of the Spirit rather than allowing them to control you. This teaching explores the discipline required to master appetite, make wise choices, and live with greater spiritual focus.

Appetite can influence our choices, habits, and spiritual discipline. This teaching explores how to bring our desires under control, practice self-mastery, and align our appetites with God's purpose.

Appetite can influence our choices, habits, and direction. Discover how to bring your desires under control and develop the discipline to live according to God's purpose rather than being ruled by cravings.

The final part of the Taming Appetite series calls us to master our desires rather than be mastered by them. Learn how discipline, self-control, and spiritual maturity help us bring our appetites under the authority of God's Word.

This sermon explores the destructive power of human speech through an exposition of James chapter 3, illustrating how the tongue acts like a small spark that ignites massive wildfires. The preacher warns believers against the dangers of loose, uncontrolled words and the hypocrisy of blessing God while cursing people made in His image. By using analogies of bridles, rudders, and natural inconsistencies like salt and fresh water, the message highlights the impossibility of taming the tongue without divine intervention. The central call is for Christians to seek purity in their speech, relying on the gospel's transformative power to align their words with their faith. Ultimately, believers are urged to practice self-control and let their speech reflect the grace and character of Christ.

Recorded at the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum 2026.A country wants a stable exchange rate, it wants money to move freely across its borders, and it wants to set its own interest rates. It's a well-known trilemma. Central bankers must pick any two, because you cannot have all three. History, it turns out, did not read that memo.Eric Monnet has spent years reading the balance sheets that central bankers kept on each other. Since 1891 the Bank of France paid teams of multilingual economists to copy out the weekly and monthly accounts of every other central bank in the world. Those ledgers, now digitised, show that central banks have been far more than interest-rate setters. For more than a century they have quietly expanded their balance sheets to cushion their economies against shocks arriving from abroad. In this week's VoxTalk, Monnet argues we have seriously underestimated how much room to manoeuvre they have used since the 19th century.The research behind this episode:Bazot, Guillaume, Eric Monnet, and Matthias Morys. 2024. "Central Banks and the Absorption of International Shocks (1891-2019)." CEPR Discussion Paper No. 19646. (Gated.)To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Eric Monnet. 2026. "Absorbing shocks since 1891." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestEric Monnet is Professor at the Paris School of Economics and EHESS, and a Research Fellow at CEPR. An economic historian, his work spans central banking, the international monetary system, and the history of European financial systems across the 19th and 20th centuries. He previously worked as an economist at the Bank of France, and his book Controlling Credit examines monetary policy in postwar France.Research cited in this episodeThe Mundell trilemma. Formulated by Robert Mundell in the 1960s, the trilemma holds that an open economy cannot simultaneously maintain a fixed exchange rate, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy; it can have any two. Mundell received the Nobel Prize in part for the idea. The global financial cycle and the dilemma. Helene Rey argues that even a floating exchange rate does not buy full monetary autonomy, because a common global financial cycle, driven by the risk appetite of large financial institutions, moves interest rates and exchange rates across countries at once. A shock in one emerging market prompts investors to demand higher compensation across others they treat as similar. The trilemma, in this view, is really a dilemma.The Bank of France archive. The research department of the Bank of France was founded to track the financial operations of foreign central banks, collecting their weekly and monthly balance sheets from 1891 onward. The dataset assembled from these records covers 23 countries, essentially every central bank in existence by the late 1930s, and combines balance-sheet data with monthly figures on industrial production, consumer prices, and stock markets.Discount loans, open market operations, and foreign exchange interventions. The specific tools have changed completely; the behaviour has not. In the 19th century central banks intervened by discounting commercial bills and holding gold or foreign deposits; today they conduct open market operations in government bonds and hold US Treasury bills. Across all these forms, the response to an external shock, expanding domestic assets to supply liquidity, has been consistent.Taming the Global Financial Cycle. The predecessor study by the same authors: Bazot, Monnet, and Morys, "Taming the Global Financial Cycle: Central Banks as Shock Absorbers in the First Era of Globalization," Journal of Economic History 82(3), 2022, which established the pattern for the classical gold standard period.More VoxTalks Economics episodesThe Bank of England's Capital Mistake.

Rev. Obeng emphasizes that taming the tongue is a true mark of spiritual maturity, rooted in being genuinely born again. Drawing from James 3, he explains that words can build or destroy. We must actively cooperate with the Holy Spirit to reign in our conversations, choosing peace and blessing.

What Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Midlife Women Can Teach Us About Self-Worth.   While attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, I found myself reflecting on two classic stories—The Taming of the Shrew and Emma. Although these stories were written centuries apart, they both revolved around a familiar question that many women still ask today: What is my value if I'm not in a relationship? In this episode, I explore how generations of women have been taught—often without realizing it—to tie their worth to whether someone chooses them. Together, we'll examine where these beliefs come from, why they still affect us in midlife, and how we can finally write a new story. Because your worth has never depended on being chosen. It has always belonged to you. In This Episode We Discuss: The surprising connection between Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and modern women Why so many of us unconsciously tie our worth to relationships How culture quietly teaches women that being chosen equals being valuable Why intimacy begins with the relationship you have with yourself The difference between being desired and being worthy How choosing yourself creates healthier relationships Questions to help you rewrite the stories you've inherited about love, value, and intimacy

It really is ‘Too Darn Hot!' so a perfect time for a pod about the 1953 film ‘Kiss Me Kate' starring Katherine Grayson, Howard Keel and Ann Miller. Inspired by Shakespeare's ‘The Taming of the Shrew' this Cole Porter musical tells the story of a divorced couple brought back together to star in a play. So Brush up your Shakespeare and tune in!

From James 3:1-12 a teaching called "Taming Our Tongue" examines the profound power of speech to warn that our tongue is a small but volatile force capable of either building up or destroying like an uncontrollable fire. We see that our efforts alone cannot tame the tongue, as Christ Followers we must rely on God's help to ensure our words reflect a life of worship, encouragement, and reconciliation.

This is the Gnostic tea you wanted, as Kevin Cann joins me to discuss his tell-all new book, Autobiography of an Experiencer. He shares his lifelong journey of navigating a reality populated by shadow figures and a vast, cold presence he identifies as the Demiurge, a being he eventually learned to mentor with parental love rather than fear. His accounts reveal a hidden “bestiary” of the unseen, ranging from parasitic grays wearing person suits to a universal fungal mind that spans the stars in silence. We'll explore his startling interactions with human-sized mantis beings who perceive the human spirit as a “baby universe,” all while he maintains his grounding as unbound awareness. Ultimately, Kevin's story serves as a guide for those seeking to transform trauma into calm contentment, proving that even the most harrowing encounters cannot strip a person of their essential freedom and power to choose.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 30, 2026 is: bereft • bih-REFT • adjective To be bereft is to be deprived or robbed of something, or to lack something that you need, want, or expect. Bereft is also used as a synonym of bereaved. // They appear to be completely bereft of new ideas. See the entry > Examples: "... this morning when I was going out to play in the gardens, I went to put on my favorite baseball cap since the sun was hot and, being bereft of my own natural covering, I wished to avoid a sun-scorched scalp." — Dick Brooks, The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, New York), 7 May 2026 Did you know? In Old English, the verb berēafian meant "to deprive of something." The modern equivalent (and descendant) of berēafian is bereave, a verb used to say that one has deprived or stripped someone of something, often suddenly and unexpectedly, and sometimes by force. Bereft comes from the past participle of bereave; Shakespeare uses the participle in The Merchant of Venice, when Bassanio tells Portia, "Madam, you have bereft me of all words." But by Shakespeare's day bereft was also being used as an adjective. The Bard uses it in The Taming of the Shrew, as a newly obedient and docile Katharina declares, "A woman mov'd is like a fountain troubled—muddy, … thick, bereft of beauty."

What if the voice urging you to binge isn't really you — and you could learn to talk back to it? This week, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston, whose unconventional path from Fortune 500 food industry consultant to food compulsion researcher led him to develop one of the most distinctive frameworks in recovery: Never Binge Again. Glenn shares how his own 80-pound weight loss journey — and nearly 2,000 clients later — shaped a method built on structured food rules, cognitive refutation, and understanding the neuroscience of cravings extinction. In This Episode: Why Glenn left lucrative food industry work and what he saw from the inside about how hyperpalatable foods are engineered The "inner pig" framework — and why separating from the voice that drives bingeing is the foundation of his approach How his self-funded study of 40,000 people shaped his thinking (and why the results surprised him) The four food rule categories: Never, Always, Conditional, and Unrestricted Why 1 in 3 people genuinely need abstinence — and how to tell if you're one of them The extinction burst: why cravings often get worse before they disappear (and why this is actually good news) The "screw it, just do it" response — what causes it and how to address it with self-regulation Commit with perfection, forgive with dignity — how to handle slips without derailing recovery Abstinence vs. moderation: where Glenn agrees with food addiction models, and where his philosophy diverges His take on GLP-1 medications and how they fit into the bigger picture The difference between his original Never Binge Again and his newer book Defeat Your Cravings Resources Mentioned:
