Podcasts about Undertaking

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews David Giuliano about his novel, The Upending of Wendall Forbes (Latitude 46, 2025). Wendall and Ruby Forbes are confronting the vagaries of aging boomers: – sleeplessness, loneliness, memory loss, and the fear Ruby is showing signs of dementia. A blizzard hits their small town of Twenty-Six Mile House and a remarkable, perhaps unbelievable, band of strangers — : an Indigenous Colombian refugee, his environmental academic wife, an environmental academic, and their child; a young man on an accidental journey quest; a teenage activist and her ten-year-old gay half-brother; and a sleep consultant in from Indianapolis —– all take refuge in the Forbeses' home. In this heartwarming, funny, wise, and hopeful story, the companionship of strangers, a foul-mouthed raven, and a lynx, restore Wendall and Ruby's hope for the future. About the Author David Giuliano is an award-winning writer of fiction and non-fiction. His first novel, The Undertaking of Billy Buffone (Latitude 46, 2021), was awarded the 2022 Bressani Prize for Fiction. It's Good to Be Here: Stories We Tell About Cancer is a memoir about the power of story to heal. Postcards from the Valley, a collection of essays, was a Canadian bestseller. He has also published two illustrated children's books. David lives on the north shore of Lake Superior. Learn more about your ad choices.

When Paul Young, COO of the University of PEI Faculty of Medicine, sees an uphill battle, he doesn't turn the other way. His love for healthcare fuels his ability to face a challenge head on, with the outcome rooted in finding solutions collaboratively. Paul's courageous leadership was witnessed through his support in bringing UPEI's Faculty of Medicine to fruition. Paul shares key leadership lessons on helping teams feel empowered, how to drive positive partnerships, and navigating intergenerational differences in the workplace. Having been named one of Atlantic Canada's Top 50 CEOS for a fifth consecutive year, we're not surprised to hear much of Paul's forward-thinking leadership shine through on this episode. Quotables: "I love healthcare and everything about it, especially for someone who loves challenges and loves puzzles, that is healthcare in its finest, there's always a problem to be solved." -PY "We believe in every bit that [this medical school] is a big part of a better tomorrow, not just for the country but certainly for PEI in terms of trying to stabilize our healthcare." - PY "It's really important that folks feel your passion, passion for the mandate, passion for the work, passion for the people that you're working with." - PY "When I think of what's one thing that can be done today to drive those positive relationships… it's to ensure that I'm prioritizing the value of the relationship. We need to approach relationships and partnerships and collaboration with an open mind." – PY "One of the hardest parts of today with all the challenges whether it's healthcare or outside, it's leading and holding your values close to heart and not sacrificing what you truly believe in to advance a relationship or initiative at the cost of someone or something else." – PY "I think a big part of courageous leadership is creating a space where you can hear those perspectives, particularly when you're seeking out daring opinions and supporting a constructive debate, it takes courage to do that." – PY Mentioned in this Episode: -              University of PEI -              University of PEI Faculty of Medicine -              Memorial University of Newfoundland -              Melanie Fraser -              Dr. Preston Smith -              Toronto Blue Jays Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Do you like spooky reads, or do you tend to steer clear of anything too creepy? In Episode 298, Jen and Ashley share our favorite books for the season, and we talk about what makes the perfect fall read. We start with our Bookish Check-in: Ashley is listening to Thorn Season (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm) by Kiera Cass, and Jen's revisiting Richard Matheson's I Am Legend (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm). Then we each bring a fall pick to the table: we share about Megan Bannen's The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm) and Adriana Mather's How to Hang a Witch (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm). Both picks have ghosts, magic, and just enough spookiness to feel seasonal without being nightmare fuel.   Just a reminder that if you purchase books using our affiliate links for Bookshop.org and Libro.fm, or if you shop on Bookshop using our Unabridgedpod shop, we get a small percentage of those sales, which supports us and the companies.   We wrap things up with a Lit Chat question about DNFs: do you finish every book you start? We share a little honesty about how hard it can be to stop reading something once it's begun. Join us, and let us know on Instagram what your favorite spooky reads are (and whether you're a completionist or a proud DNFer)!

On this episode of Life's Undertaking, Brad Jones shares what he learned from Graystone in Michigan last week.

In this episode, Debbie welcomes back Kevin Chen from Paramount Disability Homes for a conversation about the status of the Victorian Government NDIS Housing Crisis. This major crisis is unfolding in Victoria as state government subsidies for group home support workers which have already ended at the end of 2023, have leases for these properties set to expire on 31st December 2025. This impacts approximately 5,000 NDIS participants currently residing in 600 to 700 state government-owned group homes, many of which were grandfathered into the SDA system as 'Basic' level dwellings as early as 2016, lacking modern accessibility features (not meeting IL, FA, Robust, or HPS standards). These homes have operated since pre-NDIS times (before 2013), with residents often being in their 50s and 60s, having lived there for 20-30 years with the same support workers. A significant hurdle is inadequate funding. Undertaking plan reviews for 5,000 people to get funding uplifted is a massive operational challenge, with no clear process or guarantee of success. There's a risk participants could be rejected or have their SDA funding removed entirely, especially if they are elderly, leaving them with even fewer housing options. While there is an oversupply of new SDA properties in Melbourne's outer suburbs (northern, southeastern, and predominantly western), the affected participants, who have lived in inner and middle-ring areas for years, wish to remain in their current locations. Providers moving to outer areas risk losing many clients. Furthermore, support workers are reluctant to travel to these outer suburbs. The inner areas, where most group homes are situated, have a greater abundance of apartments than houses, limiting suitable housing options. This geographical gap between where the housing is and where the demand is, particularly for houses over apartments, is a major barrier to relocating the thousands of displaced residents, as the NDIS is not expected to universally uplift funding for basic-funded participants anytime soon.For investors with empty SDAs around Melbourne, more specifically, by taking on tenants with lower initial funding, investors can secure occupancy while helping residents, with the long-term potential of significantly higher rental income once the participant's SDA funding is successful.-------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

On episode 181 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Resider! Resider is a 4-piece Southern California nu-metalcore band who just dropped their new EP entitled SHADE on July 25th. Fusing elements of nu-metal and metalcore from both past and present, Resider's aggressive and emotive sound is one that's already capturing the attention of heavy music fans. Since releasing their first single "SPORE BREATH" back in 2022, Resider has continued to hone their craft, building an audience through energetic live shows and powerful songs. That hard work has led to a big 2025 so far for the band. In February, Resider announced their signing with Overshadow, releasing multiple singles leading up to the release of SHADE. One of those singles is "Gasfight," which is nearing 100,000 streams on Spotify alone as of this episode's release. On August 2nd, Resider will perform at Brick by Brick in San Diego, California for their EP release show with The Undertaking!, Hyper Vigilant, and Fire & Flesh. On this episode, AJ Loera (guitar) and Will Wehrung (vocals) talk with Mike about how they got into heavy music, including influences and inspiration ranging from the likes of Linkin Park, to All That Remains, Parkway Drive, and Void of Vision, developing their sound with Resider, linking up with Joe Tichy and Overshadow, making a cohesive creative output with SHADE, music as a way to express darker emotions, and more. This episode also features the song "Ishimura" from Resider off their new EP SHADE, available where you get your music! Follow Resider on Instagram @residerofficial.

Mary welcomes new guest Todd Hampson as we discuss the building blocks of Bible prophecy. Undertaking a systematic study of such a broad subject can be daunting, unless a few things are kept in mind, which will in turn make everything fall into place! Definitions, definitions, definitions! What is amillennialism? What is the church age? Why is the pre-trib rapture the most solid from a biblical standpoint - types and pictures are found in the Scriptures. What was Jesus saying to the 7 churches? If we interpret prophecy from a futurist perspective, it really weaves together beautifully, but if the approach is one of past fulfillment of Revelation, we hit numerous snags that proponents of these alt views never seem to be able to resolve. A great primer on the basics this morning. Todd is a speaker, illustrator, animation producer, and the author of The Non-Prophet's Guide™ book series. He is also a co-host on the Prophecy Pros Podcast alongside Jeff Kinley. Todd's award-winning animation company, Timbuktoons, has produced content for many well-known ministry organizations.

Steve Forbes explains why the Trump Administration needs to remember that the mullahs cannot be trusted as it undertakes new U.S.-Iran nuclear talks—and why if the Iranians actually figure how to get out an upper hand, Israel will ultimately take action to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.

The Statue of Liberty was inspired by Nubian funerary statues, making her likeness more akin to ancient Egypt than to more modern Rome, which itself certainly inspired the Lady in the form of their goddess Libertas. Roman and Greek architecture can be seen all throughout the western world, espeially at the U.S. District of Columbia. Egyptian antiquities played, as with many other powerful cultures, a significant role in the forming of now iconic 'American symbols' too, including the Eagle or Phoenix. The pyramid on each dollar harkens to the ancient world, as does the Eye of Providence, and the various latin phrases Annuit cœptis, E Pluribus Unum, and Novus ordo seclorum - 'he favors our undertaking', 'out of many one', and 'new order of the ages'. The masonic influence in the formation of the United States is either confusing, irrelevant, or sensational, but it is rarely if ever viewed in its proper context. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode, we talk with Ru Callender, author of What Remains: Life, Death, and the Human Art of Undertaking. Ru shares his personal experience with profound childhood loss to becoming a self-proclaimed radical undertaker. We also discuss the impact of grief at different life stages, how participation in funerals can be helpful for children, and reimagining rituals to accurately reflect the life of the person who died. Main topics: Parental Loss and Early Grief: Ru reflects on the loss of his father at age 7 and his mother in his 20s, sharing how these defining losses shaped his perspective on death and grief. Boarding School and Emotional Austerity: The impact of being sent away shortly after his father's death. Becoming a Radical Undertaker: After a chance encounter with a TV program, Ru was inspired to challenge conventional funeral practices and embrace more personal, inclusive rituals. Children and Grief: Why including children in funerals can be helpful, offering them tangible ways to process and revisit their grief.
