As predicted, the expiration of enhanced tax subsidies for Affordable Care Act health plans is causing many people to lose coverage for failing to make premium payments. Meanwhile, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded angrily to a New York Times article suggesting he's not actively engaged in the work of his sprawling department. Lauren Weber of The Washington Post, Lizzy Lawrence of Stat, and Sandhya Raman of Bloomberg Law join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF's Tricia Neuman, who is retiring this month as a senior vice president and the executive director of the Program on Medicare Policy. Visit our website for a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: KFF Health News' “Anguished Parents.

Today, I interview sisters and business partners Amy and Nancy Harrington, who both grew up shy and spent years navigating environments that made it hard to be heard, until they decided to leave their high-powered Hollywood careers and build something that could give other women the voice they had to fight for themselves.Amy rose to vice president at Warner Brothers at 27, often the youngest and only woman in the room, quietly doing the work while men took the credit. Nancy built a solitary graphic design business for nearly two decades to avoid the very rooms that made her shrink.Together, they built The Passionistas Project Sisterhood, a global community that gives women from marginalized backgrounds the space, support, and platform to finally be heard.__________________Sisters and business partners, Amy and Nancy Harrington are the co-founders of The Passionistas Project Sisterhood, a global community for passion-driven women, especially from marginalized backgrounds, to find support, purpose, and empowerment. After leaving high-powered careers in Hollywood, where Amy worked on major films like Harry Potter and The Matrix, and Nancy created Academy Award campaigns, they now use their platform to uplift others. Through their Power of Passionistas Women's Summit podcast, number one international bestselling anthology book, Awakening Your Power, writing mentorship program, and online global community, they give a voice to women who often don't feel seen and heard.__________________Find Amy and Nancy here:Website: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/Community: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/membershipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePassionistasProjectLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-passionistas-project/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepassionistasproject/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCPassionistasFree Download: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/30-days-journalSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

When Lauren was invited to share her story on the podcast, she hesitated. Talking publicly about your sex life isn't easy—especially when your experience doesn't fit the cultural script of what a "healthy" woman is supposed to want. Then she surprised us with an unexpected suggestion: what if her sister joined the conversation?What followed was a candid, funny, and moving discussion between two sisters whose experiences with sex, desire, marriage, motherhood, and womanhood couldn't look more different on the surface. Together, they unpack the impossible expectations placed on women, the messages they inherited about sexuality, and the ways both high desire and low desire can leave women feeling like they're somehow falling short.

In 1839, conjoined twins and famous showmen Chang and Eng Bunker — native to Thailand, then called Siam — took a break from touring, settled in North Carolina, bought a slave plantation, and married two American sisters. The interracial union caused a public scandal for more reasons than one, and their story is the inspiration for Christina Baker Kline's novel The Foursome. In today's episode, Baker Kline, who is a distant cousin of the twins' wives, speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about exploring the complexity of the foursome's place in a society that both feared and fetishized them. To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

What does it really mean to source "Pacific salmon"? Kim Brigham-Campbell and Terrie Brigham are sisters, members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and co-owners of Brigham Fish Market—a Native-owned, family-run business on the banks of the Columbia River in Cascade Locks, Oregon. Since 2014, they've been catching wild Columbia River salmon, sturgeon, and steelhead from the same tribal fishing platforms their family has used for generations, then smoking, filleting, and cooking it into the chowders, fish-and-chips, and barbecue-ready fillets that define destination dining in the Pacific Northwest. Their work is at the intersection of Indigenous food sovereignty, sustainable fisheries, and a food tourism economy that doesn't always name the people behind the fish. In this episode, Kim and Terrie talk about what treaty fishing rights look like in practice, how event planners and caterers can source seafood that honors Indigenous producers, and what it means to be women of the working waterfront in 2026.  If you've ever put salmon on a banquet menu, this conversation will change how you think about where it came from—and who deserves credit for getting it there.

As we round up our season in John 12-17, we take time to reflect on how the Lord has been speaking to us, and what it looks like to continue applying his Word to our hearts as we go from here.

Jesus turns from speaking to his disciples, to speaking to his Father in heaven. What an incredible privilege we're given to be able to listen to his prayer.

On Fit Fuel and Busy, Janine welcomes her twin sister Kristen (two minutes older) to discuss pursuing fitness goals in different ways: Janine is training for an end-of-April half marathon while maintaining lifting and increasing calories, and Kristen is preparing for her first bodybuilding show in the new Fit Model division on May 2 at Union Station in St. Louis. Kristen shares her background in dance, her shift to weightlifting, and how Janine pushed her to stop making excuses and commit by hiring a local coach, Shannon Wil Trapp. They cover the importance of a support system (coach, husband, friend, family), the realities of a 16-week prep starting after Christmas (lowering calories, increasing cardio, lifting five days, cardio six days, rest and sleep), mental “wall” weeks, and how discipline, priorities, and adjustments—rather than perfect timing or constant motivation—drive success and model perseverance for their kids.00:00 Twin Intro and Goals01:28 Kristen's Fitness Journey02:07 Signing Up to Compete04:10 Building a Support Team06:14 Prep Timeline and Routine08:12 Mental Wall and Why10:33 Kids and Leading by Example14:51 Why Not Me Mindset15:49 Stop Waiting Start Now19:21 Discipline Over Motivation21:57 Wrap Up and Next Steps Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoyed it.Join our 28 Day Strength and Nutrition Jumpstart Program here.   Reserve your spot with a Couture Coach:  Buy a 1:1 coaching packageSign up for our FREE newsletter here.Follow us for more tips, tricks, and support in our private Facebook Group, Boost Your Metabolism After Age 30.Follow us on Instagram @couture_fitness_coachingCheck at our website and blog.

Judgy people distance themselves and look down on others. But the surprise in the Bible is what actually makes someone righteous.

Join Milo + Nico in 2003, in the thick of the western obsession with J-horror and "Asia Extreme", for a story of sisterhood, psychosis, step-mothers (evil, otherwise), suicide, and silly twists. But can a tale of two sisters in domestic trouble possibly be gay?

What began as a childhood 4-H project has grown into a thriving value-added dairy business feeding families across New England.This week on American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan welcomes sisters Beth and Courtney Hodge, co-owners of Echo Farm Puddings in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. Raised on a small farm, the Hodge sisters turned their love for cows—and their reluctance to part with them—into a creative solution that helped sustain their family dairy through volatile milk markets and industry challenges.Beth manages the dairy herd while Courtney oversees pudding production, but their work overlaps daily as they balance farming, manufacturing, and marketing. About 20% of their milk is transformed into small-batch pudding made entirely on-farm, while the rest goes into the Cabot cheese supply chain. That modest percentage of milk, however, generates a disproportionately large share of the farm's revenue—proving how powerful value-added agriculture can be for family farms.The conversation covers how a garage-based 4-H project evolved into a regional pudding brand, why pudding became a “farm-saver” during tough times for dairy, what it really takes to run on-farm food manufacturing, how Certified Humane practices helped them stand out and reach new markets, the role of sustainability, from feeding spent brewery grain to partnering with local farmers, and why loving the act of feeding people is at the heart of everything they do.This episode is a must-listen for farmers exploring diversification, consumers curious about where their food comes from, and anyone inspired by family-run businesses that adapt, innovate, and endure.Visit them at EchoFarmPuddings.com and Like them on Facebook. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In the "Last Meal" segment of Episode 1,119 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards poses the question of the day: If you could choose your final meal before death, what would it be? Inspired by the Ruthless podcast, Edwards ponders his own choices, from a classic steak to local favorites like country fried steak at Martin's, red beans and rice with sausage from McB's, or veal cutlets from now-closed Jackson staples such as the Elite or Mayflower. He emphasizes flexibility, allowing picks from home-cooked meals, current restaurants, or nostalgic spots from Central Mississippi's culinary history.   Edwards engages listeners by reading texted and commented suggestions, sparking lively debates on details like white vs. brown gravy, Mexican vs. regular cornbread, and sides such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or fried okra. He reminisces about beloved defunct eateries, including Pizza Inn's pre-franchise pizza, Pizza Express's mozzarella-heavy slices, Scotty's on Terry Road, Dennery's, the Cherokee's roast beef, Gridley's hot barbecue sauce, and even the Elite's enchiladas. The conversation evokes food nostalgia, with Edwards admitting it left him hungry and planning a hearty lunch.   The segment wraps with more listener ideas, like rib eye steak sandwiches from Cypress Point, dirty bird sandwiches from Burgers Blues Barbecue, poppy seed chicken from Two Sisters, and crab legs with crawfish, blending humor, local lore, and audience interaction for a fun, appetite-stirring start to the show.

Niagara on the Lake is raising the bar again. In this episode of Read Between the Wines, Pierre catches up with Adam Pearce, winemaker at Stone Eagle Winery and the talent behind the celebrated wines of Two Sisters in Ontario's Niagara region. Four years after their first conversation during the pandemic, Adam returns with big news. The once cult Stone Eagle label has grown into a full winery on Highway 55, with its own estate vineyards, focused portfolio and on site restaurant, The Nest. Together, Pierre and Adam explore what it really takes to build age worthy Canadian wines that reward patience, not just instant gratification. They dig into the details behind Stone Eagle's Cabernet Franc, the Eagle Eye Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, the Lush and Blanc de Franc sparkling wines, and why balance, structure and time remain the real luxuries in a small market like Canada. Adam also shares candid thoughts on climate change, extreme vintages, replanting difficult vineyards, and the constant tension between consumer demand, portfolio focus and winemaker curiosity. The conversation goes beyond the cellar. Pierre and Adam discuss the war on wine, the rise of low and no alcohol products, public health narratives, and why responsible enjoyment, food, place and human connection still sit at the heart of true wine culture. If you love Niagara, Cabernet Franc, serious Chardonnay and ambitious Canadian reds, this episode is for you.   For more information about our Podcast, visit us on the web: https://readbetweenthewines.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthewinesmedia   Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/read-between-the-wines 

Harav Noach Shafran discusses why sometimes the Torah gives precedence to a bechor, yet in other places the acharon is the ikkar, and connects this to Yaakov buying the bechora.

This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda are diving deep into one of the most haunting, beautifully crafted horror films of the 2000s: A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), the South Korean psychological masterpiece from director Kim Jee-woon. It's a chilling, twisty story about two sisters returning home after time away in a mental institution — only to find their house filled with secrets, ghosts, and a deeply unsettling stepmother. Clay and Amanda explore its stunning cinematography, emotional depth, and how its story of grief and trauma slowly unravels into something much darker. It's elegant, tragic, and terrifying all at once — a cornerstone of early-2000s Asian horror.Now, that all sounds great and everything… but I gotta be honest with you — I grew up with brothers. Three of ‘em. Loud, smelly, cereal-devouring, video game-hoarding brothers. So, when I hear “a tale of two sisters,” I can't help but feel like I'm watching some kind of mysterious alien ritual. Sisters whispering secrets? Dressing each other's wounds? Comforting each other through unimaginable trauma? My brothers used to communicate exclusively in punches and burps. The only haunting in our house was the lingering smell of socks.I'm sitting there watching this movie thinking, “Okay, they're clearly bonded by something powerful and emotional… but where's the scene where they fight over who gets the last slice of pizza?” Still, even if I can't relate, I've gotta admit — the film's atmosphere got under my skin. Clay and Amanda dig into what makes it so effective, from its slow-burn pacing to its gut-punch finale that flips everything you thought you knew upside down.So, yeah. I might not get sisters — but I get a good ghost story. And this one? It'll haunt you, no matter how many brothers you've got.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

When Swedish twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson suddenly began throwing themselves into speeding traffic on a UK motorway—captured on camera by a reality TV crew—it was only the beginning of a shared psychotic break that would lead to superhuman strength, psychiatric hospitalization, and ultimately murder.==========HOUR ONE: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That's a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke.  They couldn't have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we're still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway. (The Disturbing Case of the Eriksson Twins)==========HOUR TWO: In 1882 the Ma'amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We'll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn't just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI's claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened?

Ilena and Meleana Levitt didn't just talk about school choice—they lived it. When their father became a fully disabled veteran and their family could no longer afford private school, these two Montana sisters made a bold and uncommon decision: they worked nearly full-time jobs as teenagers to pay for the education they believed in. It wasn't easy—but it was worth it. Now, as young adults, they're turning their personal story into public advocacy, fighting to expand school choice in Montana so that no student has to sacrifice like they did just to access the education that fits them best. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ilena and Meleana to discuss what classical education taught them, how their family rallied behind them, and why school choice policies—like education savings accounts—are a game-changer for families who just want the freedom to choose what's best for their kids. Their story is a testament to hard work, personal agency, and the power of policy to open doors for the next generation. School choice isn't a theory for these sisters—it's the reason they're thriving. This is the kind of potential that gets unlocked when families—not systems—are put first.
