Upon her death, French novelist George Sand (1804-1876) was widely recognized as one of the most popular and acclaimed writers in Europe. And yet, even then, the legend of the cigar-smoking, cross-dressing, promiscuous writer threatened to overshadow her literary accomplishments. Fast forward to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the English-speaking world has all but forgotten Sand the novelist, instead recalling her as a side character in a suit, a wannabe artist who hitched her wagon to greater geniuses like Chopin and Flaubert. In this episode, Jacke talks to award-winning poet and biographer Fiona Sampson about her book Becoming George, which examines Sand's iconoclasm and rehabilitates her as an intellectual and artistic giant. PLUS Kathleen Antonioli (Colette: A Critical Life) stops by to tell Jacke about her choice for the last book she will ever read. On Sale Now! For more information and to order ⁠Great Detective!

Prayer, Bible reading, and spiritual leadership are all good things, but what happens when faith becomes a source of tension instead of connection in marriage? In this episode, Dr. Kim tackle the unhealthy spiritual dynamics that can quietly create distance between spouses: spiritual superiority, spiritual withdrawal, and using faith as a weapon. While most couples don't intend to hurt each other spiritually, it's easy to fall into patterns that leave one spouse feeling judged, inadequate, or alone. He discusses why spiritual loneliness can be so painful in marriage, how comparison and pressure shut down connection, and what it looks like to pursue spiritual intimacy in a way that invites both spouses closer to God and each other. If you've ever felt frustrated that your spouse isn't where you'd like them to be spiritually, or if you've ever felt like you could never measure up, this conversation offers practical encouragement and hope for building a healthier, more united spiritual foundation.   Episode Highlights: When Faith Creates Distance Instead of Connection  The Hidden Damage of Spiritual Superiority and Withdrawal  Moving from Weaponized Faith to Shared Faith    Quotes from This Episode: God designed marriage as the most intimate of all earthly relationships. There's a oneness God intended for marriage that touches every aspect of life.  When one spouse longs to pray together and it never happens, it doesn't just feel frustrating it feels lonely.  Loneliness can turn into resentment or even despair.  Nothing will shut your spouse down faster than feeling spiritually inferior in their own home.  The spouse that feels like they can never measure up will stop engaging.  When scripture becomes a sword instead of a shared foundation something has gone badly wrong.  Spiritual growth cannot be forced. You can model it. You can invite. But you cannot drag your spouse into a deeper faith any more than someone could have dragged you. God does that work.   Time to Talk About it: Are you feeling disconnected from your spouse spiritually?  If you are, have you approached your spouse honestly with your concerns? Ask them: How can we use our faith to encourage each other rather than pressure, correct, or compare one another?    Mentioned in This Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram! Do you feel misunderstood and defeated when it comes to disagreements with your spouse? Feeling misunderstood in conflict is usually a sign of something deeper. This assessment walks you through what needs to change, step by step. Want an opportunity to dig into God's Word with your spouse? Find Awesome Marriage on YouVersion.

Why are we so fascinated by the ancient world?

The Harlem Renaissance, the great flowering of African American arts and culture in the early twentieth century, is hard to define but easy to admire. Coupled with the Great Migration, in which hundreds of thousands of Southern black workers moved to the rapidly industrializing cities of the North, the Harlem Renaissance was a time of radically innovative artistic expression, as musicians, visual artists, and writers forged a new consciousness. The works they produced reflected a spirit of change, progress, and optimism – but underlying the excitement were also a sense of struggle; reflective themes of nostalgia, guilt, and regret; and a clear-eyed view of racial relations in American culture. In this episode, Jacke looks at the social context for the Harlem Renaissance, with a particular focus on works by Langston Hughes, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. On Sale Now!

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) is widely regarded as one of the greatest short story writers in history. Among his admirers were Flaubert, who befriended and mentored the younger writer, and later masters of the form like Joyce and Chekhov, who were both deeply influenced by Maupassant's precision, economy, and subject matter. In this episode, Jacke reads one of Maupassant's most famous stories, "The Necklace," about a young middle-class couple whose social climbing efforts result in disillusionment and disaster. Then Jacke is joined by Mike Palindrome, the President of the Literature Supporters Club, for a discussion of what makes this late nineteenth-century story so powerful. On Sale Now!

The crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan wasn't the first time Mackenzie Shirilla drove to that dead-end road in Strongsville, Ohio. She'd been there days before the fatal night. The data recorder from her car captured the final run — accelerator at full capacity, zero braking, a straight line into a commercial building at close to a hundred miles per hour. Russo and Flanagan were dead at the scene. Shirilla survived.She never talked to police. She never testified. Investigators built the case from the car's data, the prior threats — Shirilla told Russo weeks before she would "crash this car right now" — and monitored jail calls where she and her mother Natalie communicated in a private coded language that investigators cracked. According to prosecutors, the decoded calls revealed Shirilla asking whether they could tell police she'd had a seizure. That claim became the defense theory — a blood pressure condition called POTS allegedly caused a blackout. The judge didn't buy it. He called her actions "controlled, methodical, deliberate, intentional and purposeful."The post-conviction picture hasn't shifted. Thirty-six conduct violations in under three years at the Ohio Reformatory for Women — guilty on thirty-two. Unauthorized medication. Altered clothing. Contraband. Refusing work assignments. More than a hundred video visits with an unapproved former inmate conducted under someone else's name. On recorded calls, Shirilla calls herself the third person harmed by what she still describes as an accident. She told a friend she plans to become a life coach.Her family has reinforced every instinct. Natalie told Mackenzie on a monitored call that prison programs are for "people convicted of crimes like actual criminals." She called the Russo family "evil." Steve Shirilla went on a podcast to challenge anyone to produce evidence of intent — while the judge's written findings sit in the public record. He acknowledged comfort with his daughter's substance use on camera for Netflix while employed at a Catholic elementary school. The Diocese of Cleveland didn't renew his contract.Coffindaffer and Dreeke examine the behavioral pattern from the threats through the rehearsal drive through the crash itself — and why the prison record is the same pattern continuing under a different roof.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jesse Vang faces life in prison. Katrina Baur faces sixty years. Both are charged in the death of Baur's three-year-old son Elijah Vue. Both have pleaded not guilty. And both are heading toward separate trials in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The question hovering over every pretrial hearing: will one of them cooperate against the other?The evidence already creates pressure. Text messages between Baur and Vang document what the criminal complaint describes as coordinated cruelty against a toddler. A deleted photograph from Baur's phone. A suitcase with Elijah's DNA that Vang dropped at a donation center while his phone was at home building a false alibi. And a Facebook message Baur sent within sixty seconds of Vang's 911 call, coaching him on what to say to police — a message she deleted and investigators recovered. The evidence ties both of them to what happened. But their charges are structured differently. Vang carries the direct harm charge. Baur carries neglect. That gap could become leverage.The pretrial fight has gone against the defense so far — venue change denied, outside jurors denied, sequestration denied. A forensic evidence challenge over sand and gravel is still pending. Vang was on federal supervised release when all of this happened, and nobody in the system flagged that a three-year-old had been placed in his home. Tony Brueski breaks down the legal positioning, the evidence each defendant faces, and whether the separate trial structure creates an opening for one to flip — with a reporter who has been covering every court appearance.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We can do all the heavy lifting in therapy, but sometimes life just throws too much at us at once. Between the holidays, chaotic work schedules, and general exhaustion, Rachel and Mike recently hit a wall, slipping off the tracks into a tough two-week period of disconnection. When catching up on the setback, Rachel shares a powerful analogy: normally, if she jumps off the dock, she needs Mike to stay on the dock and pull her back up—but this time, they were both so depleted that Mike jumped off the other side, leaving them both swimming with nobody to pull them to safety. For Rachel, this brought up a painful, ancient narrative. Instead of just seeing two stressed partners, her nervous system told her she was defective. In this session, we reframe what it means to be guarded. For so long, Rachel viewed her emotional wall as a massive block of ice she needed to hack down. Today, we explore why the only real way to remove an ice wall is to slowly warm up the environment until it dissolves on its own. Follow Julie Menanno on social media @thesecurerelationship.

Learning how to recognize love-bombing from a Christian perspective is important for anyone who wants to date with wisdom, discernment, and emotional health. In the beginning of a relationship, attention can feel exciting. Kind words, constant communication, grand promises, and intense affection may seem flattering at first. But sometimes what looks like deep interest is actually manipulation. Love-bombing is when someone overwhelms another person with excessive attention, praise, affection, or promises in order to create quick emotional attachment. It can […] The post How to Recognize Love-Bombing From a Christian Perspective appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

Can you vibe code a $1.8 billion company with AI? Sam Altman predicted the one-person billion-dollar startup, and with MedVi, it might've just happened. Today on AI For Humans, we break down the story everyone in AI is talking about: two brothers vibe coded a $1.8 billion company called MedVi, running on GLP-1 supplements with $70 million in profit and a $1 million donation to an animal shelter.  Sam Altman predicted the one-person billion-dollar startup two years ago and now it's real. Greg Brockman weighs in on what this means for the AI hard takeoff.  Plus, Google drops Gemma 4 with small open models built for phones, laptops, and desktops.

What happens when a cartographer and a fashion stylist go to Germany and fall in love with a canvas bag? They come home and build an American business that celebrates hometown pride with every product. Today, AAM President Scott Paul speaks with Rachel Rheingold Berick and Michael Berick, co-founders of Maptote, a Brooklyn-based company that makes map-themed totes, pouches, home goods, and accessories — all manufactured in the U.S. They share how a 2006 trip to Hamburg inspired their first Brooklyn tote, how they grew from door-to-door sales to major retail partnerships with J.Crew, HBO, and museum shops worldwide, and what it takes to build a Made-in-America brand that's approaching its 20th anniversary.

  Whoa nelly we are in for a treat with this guest mix! This new set comes from John McFadden who records as Fragile X. John has done two other mixes for us that you can find here: https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/aquadream-by-fragile-x/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/being-human-by-fragile-x/ I'm kind of jealous of this mix as there are bunch of tracks that I would love to have used in my recent undersea mix. So this is a perfect time for this set because it will play off of my "Alien Sea" mix and lead us into other ambient directions. John has a couple of new EPs out and you can find Fragile X music here - https://fragilex.bandcamp.com/ Here's what John says about "From Dusk Till Dawn" "I've been getting up early a lot so far this year, especially in midweek, for the day job and I've also been making the most of my weekends by trying to stay up late and be creative when I can. So, with that in mind, I've put together a mix to soundtrack the wee hours. I tried to make it dream-like and hazy. Like an escape into the hush of night and through to break of morning. Albeit crammed into 70 mins! It's got some dubby and experimental ambient stuff then slowly unfurls into more melodic ambient pieces over time. Very minimal percussion and the focus more on atmosphere and texture. Hope you enjoy!"  Thanks, John, for a great mix! Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 01. Erik M. - Half Sleep (00:00) 02.

In a first for The Art of Costume, this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams steps beyond costume design and into a larger conversation about filmmaking itself.Spencer is joined by directors and writers Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata, the visionary duo behind the 2026 Academy Award–nominated short film Two People Exchanging Saliva. Set in a surreal society where kissing is punishable by death and goods are purchased with slaps to the face, the film follows Angine, a woman navigating desire, repression, and absurd social rituals within the fluorescent aisles of a department store. Together, they explore the film's layered metaphors of intimacy, desire, identity, and repression, unpacking the surreal systems that govern this meticulously constructed world. From production design and visual references to the crucial role costume plays in shaping character and psychology, the conversation reveals how every aesthetic choice sharpens the film's biting social commentary.

What if I stopped trying to impress the world and focused instead on living in a way that felt true to me?In this episode, I explore the idea that there are really only two people we need to inspire and be inspired by in this lifetime. Our 7 year old self and our 87 year old self.I chose age seven intentionally, because around age eight, especially for girls, confidence begins to shift and external voices start to matter more than inner knowing.I also introduce the perspective of your 87 year old self, the version of you who has lived enough life to know what mattered and what did not.This episode is about the space between those two versions of you and what it looks like to lead your life from the inside out.In this episode, we talk about:• Why confidence often changes around age seven• How external validation replaces intuition over time• Reconnecting with your younger self without nostalgia or fluff• The grounded clarity your 87 year old self already holds• Where self abandonment shows up in everyday choices• Why leadership starts with how you lead yourselfThis episode leads into my free live training, Lead From Within.Lead From Within is a two day live experience happening January 26 and 27 at 12 PM Eastern inside a private Facebook group.It is for women who want to reconnect with their inner leader and trust themselves more fully.You can save your spot here:melodypourmoradi.com/leadfromwithinLet's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!
