By the time the fire alarm goes off, the house has been quietly filling with smoke for ten years. You don't smell it at first. A little tiredness you blame on a busy week, a period that comes early or maybe late a night. You wake up at three a m soaked and wide awake for no reason, a word that won't come to you in the middle of a sentence, one at a time. They're easy to wave off, easy to promise yourself you'll deal with it later. That's the cruel thing about smoke. It never arrives all at once. It comes so slowly that you learn to adjust to it. You get used to being tired. You get used to a bad night's sleep. You start calling your symptoms normal. Hell, we brush it off with humor. We're just getting old now. That's how we are. This is what forty looks like. And the slower it comes, the easier it is to convince yourself there's nothing there at all. And then one day, the alarm is screaming, and you're standing in a doctor's office in your forties, maybe in your fifties, with a lab sheet full of numbers that are suddenly not okay with you, wondering how it all happened so fast. It didn't happen fast. It happened over the two decades. We're going to unpack those last two decades together on this episode.

Episode Description:Nancy Cartwright is best known as the voice of Bart Simpson. But in this archive conversation, James is interested in the artist behind the voice.Nancy joins the show to talk about In Search of Fellini, the film she co-wrote with Peter Kjenaas based on her own trip to Italy in the 1980s. At the time, Nancy was already working as an actress and voiceover performer, but she became obsessed with Federico Fellini's La Strada. She studied scenes from the film in acting class, felt deeply connected to Giulietta Masina's performance, and eventually decided she wanted to get the rights to adapt La Strada for the stage.So she wrote Fellini letters. When she finally got a response telling her not to come because Fellini would be working, Nancy heard something else: he would be there.She went anyway.That decision becomes the central metaphor of the episode. Nancy describes the trip not as a business errand, but as an immersion into life, art, culture, language, risk, chance encounters, and personal transformation. The film's line—sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you—comes from one of those real encounters.James and Nancy also talk about her earlier career. Nancy explains how she found her way from speech competitions in Ohio to radio work, to studying with Daws Butler, to acting classes with Milton Katselas. She shares stories about auditioning for Cheers, getting a part after walking straight out of the casting room, and learning that if you surprise yourself, you can surprise everyone else.That lesson also applies to The Simpsons. Nancy originally went in to audition for Lisa, but when she saw Bart's description—“a 10-year-old school-hating underachiever and proud of it”—she knew instantly that was the part. She trusted the instinct.The conversation becomes a meditation on creativity. Mentorship matters. Preparation matters. But at some point, the artist has to do the work, throw it away, walk into the room, and trust what happens.Nancy's story is about voice acting, Fellini, and Bart Simpson. But it is also about making the leap from talent to authorship, from performing other people's words to finding the story only you can tell.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to In Search of Fellini as a new or limited-release film, The Simpsons at that point in its run, Nancy's projects, and release timing reflect the original recording period.What You'll Learn:Why Nancy Cartwright calls herself one of the most recognizable voices attached to an unrecognizable face.How Bart Simpson's voice fits into Nancy's own personality and childhood mischief.Why La Strada affected Nancy so deeply as a young actress.How Nancy's trip to Italy became the foundation for In Search of Fellini.Why “sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you” became the emotional center of the film.How Nancy learned voice acting from Daws Butler.What Milton Katselas taught her about surprising herself.Why walking out of a Cheers audition helped her get the role.How to create an effect without making it feel calculated.Why auditions are not just competitions, but opportunities to fulfill a decision.How Nancy knew Bart was the right role even though she had been called in for Lisa.Why artists need preparation, mentorship, instinct, immersion, and commitment.How The Simpsons has lasted through writing, love, improv, and a giant universe of relatable characters.Why Nancy believes artists have a responsibility to connect with people on a deeper wavelength.How making In Search of Fellini took more than 20 years of persistence, revision, and collaboration.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] The Most Unknown Famous Person in the WorldJames introduces Nancy Cartwright and asks what it is like to be instantly recognizable by voice but not by

Send us Fan MailCorporate philanthropy for foster care adoption becomes more powerful when personal conviction, business systems, and measurable outcomes work together!Denny Lynch, author of Call Me Dave, and Rita Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, share how Dave Thomas turned his own adoption story into a lasting model for corporate-nonprofit impact.This fascinating discussion explores founder legacy, cause alignment, franchise engagement, program design, capacity constraints, and the responsibility successful businesses have to give back. It is a powerful example of how one leader's personal experience can become an enduring institution when passion is matched with structure, measurement, and shared ownership.Dave Thomas founded the foundation in 1992 after recognizing that children waiting in foster care were being overlooked. His approach went far beyond lending a famous name to a cause. He brought the same focus, urgency, and operating discipline that helped build Wendy's, asking a direct question: How many children did we help move into permanent families?Rita explains how that expectation pushed the foundation from awareness-building toward measurable action. The Wendy's Wonderful Kids program now funds adoption professionals across the United States and Canada who use an evidence-based, child-focused recruitment model. The goal is not simply to generate interest, but to strengthen the capacity needed to connect children, especially older youth, with safe, loving, permanent homes.As Rita tells us, “Behind that word dramatic is something measurable.” That mindset offers a valuable lesson for nonprofit executives, board members, funders, and corporate partners: a compelling mission must be supported by clear outcomes, sufficient infrastructure, and transparent reporting.Denny also describes the leadership traits that made Thomas's commitment credible. “Find something that means something to you,” he advises business leaders, because authentic commitment attracts employees, franchisees, families, and communities in ways that transactional sponsorship cannot.00:00:00 Dave Thomas and the Mission of Foster Care Adoption00:01:38 Twenty Years of Stories Behind Call Me Dave00:03:29 Why Children Wait Years for Permanent Families00:04:36 How Adoption Shaped Dave Thomas00:07:08 The Values That Defined His Leadership00:09:35 A Final Mandate: Get This Job Done00:11:43 Finding the Courage to Share His Story00:13:19 The White House and Corporate Adoption Benefits00:14:45 Keeping a Founder's Legacy Relevant00:18:39 Engaging Wendy's Franchisees in the Mission00:22:29 Building an Evidence-Based Adoption Program00:24:35 Measuring Results Instead of Activity00:26:34 What Business Leaders Can Learn From Dave Thomas #CorporatePhilanthropy #FosterCareAdoption #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

The Bottom Line has been on BBC Radio 4 for twenty years. The programme was first broadcast in 2006. Back then smartphones weren't on sale, Facebook had only just gone public and people still went to Blockbuster to rent videos and DVDs. Tony Blair was prime minister, a litre of fuel cost 90p and interest rates stood at 4.5 per cent. Since then there's been a financial crash, we've had energy price shocks, Brexit and a pandemic. Evan Davis is joined by a panel of guests, who first appeared in the early years of the show, to reflect on how the business landscape has changed over that period of time.

10PCT Episode #90This is an interview recorded as part of my research for Twenty Years at War - the second part of my series of coffee table books on the F-15E Strike Eagle: https://www.10percenttrue.com/product-page/tyaw-pre-orderFour F-15E veterans — “Deuce” Cooper, “Funkle” Esler, “NAILS” Ashmore and “Leroy” Domberg — reunite to discuss Operation Odyssey Dawn and the opening phase of the Libya air war in 2011. What begins as a discussion about Libya quickly becomes a broader conversation about the Strike Eagle community's transition from the highly restrictive, JTAC-driven wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back to dynamic targeting, SCAR, coalition strike operations and independent decision-making. The group recounts the rapid deployment from RAF Lakenheath, the uncertainty surrounding Libyan air defences, the first night over Benghazi, the loss of BOLAR 34, the evolution of tactics during the campaign, and the lessons that would later shape operations against ISIS and beyond. Along the way they discuss mission planning, coalition integration, the value of the two-seat cockpit, targeting pods, radar development, CCA concepts and the future of the Strike Eagle.

The first issue of Imbibe Magazine hit store shelves twenty years ago in 2006. It was a fascinating time to be a drinks magazine because drinks – and magazines – have changed A LOT since then. Paul Clarke, Imbibe's Editor in Chief sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the last twenty years in the drinks publication's history: from its Y2K roots to the heady days of the cocktail revolution in the 2010s to the bad situations we've all had to make the best of in 2020 and beyond. Paul gets into what has and hasn't changed, what modern drinkers want in a cocktail program, and how it's always important to make sure you're serving your readers… and your listeners first.PLUS, Greg went to Canada and guess what's in full swing up there? It begins with “summer” and ends with “sherry.”Follow Imbibe at @imbibeFollow Paul at @cocktailchronLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Staged family violence that fooled a thousand people into calling the police. A creator platform that burned through a million users and got sold as an NFT. And now a pregnancy announcement involving a Down syndrome diagnosis that may or may not be real, from a man who has built his entire career on making people believe things that never happened. Jesse Ridgway has been escalating for twenty years and nothing in the ecosystem around him — not the media, not the audience, not the people in his life — is slowing him down.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins for a three-part conversation that goes where nobody else in media is willing to go. The brain behind the behavior. The machine that feeds it. And the audience that guarantees it never stops. If Jesse Ridgway is a case study, this is the clinical examination his record has been asking for.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In 2023, an Oklahoma sheriff named Eddie Virden announced a multi-state task force to investigate cold cases potentially connected to Dennis Rader during the years Rader was officially considered inactive. In August of that year, deputies excavated a property near Rader's former Park City, Kansas, home using cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar. In March of 2024, Missouri authorities officially ruled out one case, Shawna Beth Garber, and attributed it to a different man, Talfey Reeves, who had died in 2021.Twenty years after his arrest, the BTK case is still being worked.In the fourth chapter of host Tony Brueski's five-part Hidden Killers investigation, the thirteen-year period between Rader's last confirmed killing and his 2004 resurfacing gets walked through honestly. The standard story is that he stopped. Got it under control. Aged out. The actual answer is more complicated, and several investigative offices around the country still believe parts of his record are incomplete.The episode covers what Dr. Katherine Ramsland concluded about Rader's "powering down" cycles after more than a decade of correspondence with him. It covers the Cynthia Dawn Kinney disappearance from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in June of 1976, and the 2023 release of a Rader journal entry titled "Bad Wash Day" describing a fantasy of taking a young woman from a laundromat. It covers the divergence between the Osage County Sheriff's Office, which still considers Rader a prime suspect in the Kinney case, and the Osage County District Attorney's office, which has publicly stated the evidence does not support charges.This is the fourth uncomfortable truth of the series. The BTK case is closed for the ten murders in Kansas. It is not closed for the rest.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ari shares the philosophy that has carried him through two decades at the highest levels of corporate legal, why the US mindset about reclaimed time is a problem worth confronting, and why the most important question of the next decade may be the one Zach Kass asked from the keynote stage.

The NYU Wireless Workshop this year was a lively scientific event, where the future of wireless technology was debated. Erik G. Larsson was among the invited speakers, and the main theme was “Twenty Years of Massive MIMO: What's Next?”. In this episode, he discusses the main insights with Emil Björnson. They first dissect the practical challenges that still hinder multi-antenna technology from reaching its full potential. It ranges from unfavorable traffic patterns to channel characteristics and channel state information, and how to circumvent these issues. The conversation also covers wireless sensing, AI data aggregation over the air, near-field communications, and common misconceptions around mutual coupling. The most thought-provoking question is: Is the demand for wireless connectivity saturating, or is there still a wireless future ahead? Music: On the Verge by Joseph McDade.

Send us Fan Mail Some of the hardest survival happens behind the smile. This episode is for anyone who has spent years being "the strong one," carrying secrets to keep everyone else comfortable, and quietly losing themselves in the process. Yusuf sits down with Lynnette Fritshaw, retired career firefighter, trauma coach, and author of You're On Your Own. As the first female career firefighter in her hometown department in Dawson Creek, BC, Lynnette spent nearly two decades in a culture of misogyny, bullying, and silence. She talks honestly about what fear-based survival did to her body and identity, the hypnotherapy session that finally cracked her open, and the simple practices, feel your feet on the floor, tell one true thing, that bring you back home to yourself. About the Guest: Lynnette Fritshaw is a retired career firefighter, trauma coach, educator, speaker, and author of You're On Your Own. She spent 14 years as the first and only female career firefighter in her department in Dawson Creek, BC, Canada. She now runs Fire Within Crisis Services Inc., where she works with first responders and individuals on critical incident stress, workplace trauma, and resilience. Key Takeaways: Strength on the outside isn't proof of safety on the inside. Many trauma survivors are dying quietly inside the version of themselves the world calls capable. Silence isn't weakness, it's a survival strategy. It can keep you alive in a hostile environment and slowly erode your identity at the same time. The body keeps the score. Suppressed emotion attaches to tissues and organs. Chronic pain in a healthy body is often the buried cost of unspoken truth. Healing begins when you accept the role you've been playing in your own suffering. Not blame, accountability with compassion. Hypnotherapy was the modality that finally let Lynnette release what 40 years of effort hadn't. Find the modality that meets your nervous system where it is. Three nervous-system tools you can use anywhere: feel your feet on the floor, place your hands on your belly and breathe, choose your hard.

This episode was never meant for the public. It was recorded exclusively for our Patreon community — the people who are already in the inner circle. But we're pulling the curtain back and letting you see what S2S really looks like when the pressure is off, the cameras are still rolling, and nobody is performing for anybody. This is the crew unfiltered. No script. No agenda. Just ET, Karl, CJ, and Jemal being exactly who they are. From 80s hip-hop debates to the first game they ever ran, to ET getting real about why he stopped giving his expertise away for free — this episode has everything the highlight reel never shows you. And then Pops pulls up and drops the origin story of how ET and CJ found each other — the moment that started all of this. If you've ever wondered what S2S looks like behind closed doors — this is it. In This Episode: The 80s hip-hop playlist that shaped who they became — LL Cool J, Eric B & Rakim, Babyface and more The first piece of game they ever ran (ET's Babyface line on Dede is legendary) Why ET stopped giving his time and expertise away for free — and why you should too The "selfish vs. self-focused" conversation that will change how you think about your time and money A special visit from the Cooking with the Cooks family Pops pulls up and tells the untold origin story of how ET and CJ connected Timestamps: Chapters 00:00:00 Opening: The Public Was Never Supposed to See This 00:03:39 Throwback Music Session: LL Cool J and the Golden Era of Hip-Hop 00:09:58 Baby Face and Early Game: The First Piece of Wisdom 00:15:00 The Football Team Get Naked Story: When Confidence Was King 00:17:18 The Michael Jordan Clip: Being Selfish Is How You Win 00:18:05 The Shift: How ET Stopped Giving Everything Away for Free 00:22:02 The Mastermind Testimony: When People Pay, They Apply 00:24:16 Valuing Your Time and Expertise: The CJ Partnership Model 00:32:59 The ETA Records Story: Giving What's Earned, Not What's Expected 00:37:35 Pops Enters the Building: The Man Who Started It All 00:41:04 The Origin Story: From Prison Visit to Twenty Years of Partnership 00:43:43 Closing: Behind the Scenes Access and What's Next Key Takeaways: The difference between being selfish and being self-focused — and why it matters for your money and your time Why giving your expertise away for free is a disservice to yourself and the people you're trying to help The unplanned moment that created one of the most influential mentoring relationships in the world What the S2S Patreon is really about — and why this content exists

12. The Aftermath of Trotsky's Death and the Assassin's Legacy Guest: Josh Ireland Summary: Trotsky dies a day after the attack, while Ramon serves twenty years in a Mexican prison. Caridad lives her final years in bitter exile, and Stalin barely registers the mission's success. (12)MAY 1925 MOSCOW
What started on March 1, 1872, when Yellowstone became the first National Park in the world, has grown to over 433 units covering over 85 million acres in America. Tagged "America's Best Idea," we celebrate National Parks Week every year in April. Roughly 20,000 people work either full-time or seasonally with the National Park Service but the system also relies on over 130,000 volunteers. The National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation--sponsor of this podcast--is one of those volunteer organizations. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Carol Brady, founding board member and long-time Chairman of NPLSF, about the organization's mission and projects that have developed over the last two decades.5 Quotes“In 2026, this will be 20 years since we became an actual official 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation.”“National Park Service unbelievably has over 400 units in the country, and the government budget for the National Park Service is a finite number.”“There's only so much budget to go around. In order to keep all of these places as special as folks expect them to be when you go there, they need help. They need outside help.”“That is an ongoing thing that will last much longer than I will, I'm quite sure.”“You're not going to really notice that this is not the coast of an ocean. The lake could be calm, it can be just wild, but the best thing is it's clear and cold. You dip it in there and take a drink, it's just great. It's fresh water. It's just amazing. People think it's going to just look like a big lake, and then when they realize it looks like the ocean, they forget that it's clear and cold and fresh.”Connect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Among the many people I met, there was a pervasive feeling of hopelessness and a sense that resistance is slowly becoming a memory By Ewen MacAskill. Read by Greg Stylianou-Burns. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/longreadpod
Dr. Craig reflects on the 20th anniversary of Reasonable Faith with Kevin Harris and Executive Director Michael Lepien, including memorable excerpts from the podcasts.
She never believed the incidents were connected. Houses make noise. Children misplace things. With six kids, chaos was normal, and coincidence was easier than meaning.But when the family moved, the disturbances moved too.Different towns. Different houses. Each time, the quiet would hold for a while. Then it would begin again — coins striking walls from empty hallways, deliberate knocks at four in the morning, footsteps overhead where no one stood. Once, a pair of tiny black boots appeared years after she had thrown them away in another county.The activity came in waves. Silence. Then escalation. What unsettled her most wasn't what happened inside the houses. It was the realization that nothing stayed behind when they left.Whatever it was didn't belong to the walls. It belonged to them.#HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #TrueGhostStory #ShadowFigure #FollowedHome #SupernaturalEncounter #PoltergeistActivity #UnexplainedPhenomena #HauntedFamily #RealParanormal #GhostStory #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

THE MURDER OF LOGAN AND THE PERSISTENCE OF VIOLENCE Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. Twenty years after the lament, a surveyor encountered a weeping Native man in the woods who revealed he was Logan's nephew. The nephew confessed to killing his uncle near Lake Erie around 1780. Logan had become a "dangerous" free agent and powerful orator whose influence threatened the political stability of the Six Nations during the Revolutionary War, leading to an order for his silence. This revelation underscores the brutality of the Ohio country, which remained the bloodiest ground of the revolution even after the British surrender at Yorktown. NUMBER 6
