Rabbi Josh Feigelson takes on one of America's most cherished myths: the rugged, self-made individual. In the fourth episode of the Independence miniseries, he argues it's not only historically ironic but profoundly un-Jewish. Drawing on Torah's laws of the field, he makes the case that our success is never a solo act. The episode closes with a grounding meditation on gratitude and interdependence.

A ghost that can copy your face, sit on your porch while you're miles away, and keep you trapped in a brutal death rattle until you “pass it on” to your kid? That is where our deep dive into Hantu spirits begins, and it only gets stranger from there.We're Josh, Jamey, and Aleca, and we're digging into Malaysian and Indonesian paranormal folklore where “Hantu” is a broad category for spirits, ghosts, and demons. We talk through the Hantu Raya contract and the idea of a familiar that demands offerings for protection, plus the chilling inheritance angle that turns a haunting into a family problem. Then we move into Pontianak lore, a terrifying figure tied to childbirth fears, roadside encounters, and the disturbing iron nail legend that claims she can be forced into human form.From there, we hit the Pocong, the shroud-bound ghost that hops or glides through the night, and the Penanggalan, a witch whose head detaches and flies with glowing organs, hunted with thorns, chilies, and the smell of vinegar. We also cover the Hantu Bomo, the shaman who falls into darkness, and the Toyol, a toddler-like stealing spirit distracted by marbles and beans. We connect these myths to broader questions about how legends spread, why certain patterns show up in the US too, and how AI videos make the modern paranormal harder to trust.Subscribe for more paranormal history and folklore, share this with a friend who loves ghost stories, and leave a review. Which Hantu story stuck with you the most?Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.

Speed, complexity and rapid change is part of the topics covered in Leading at the Quantum Edge. Vince Gennaro is the founder of NYU's Lab for Transformative Leadership, former Pepsico executive, courageously challenging how decision makers should make clear, cogent decisions while engendering trust. Learn about mechanisms we can build into the leadership process to slow down, digest and metabolize, while building a cognitive agility muscle. You may be surprised at Vince's approach to thinking outloud mixed with position, movement and thinking. Hear about "learning as an observer/participant." How are we supposed to react to pieces of information? And how do we develop "signal discipline" allowing in information that is relevant and timely. Build capacity to absorb uncertainty. If you can stay in it, you are more likely to uncover something that has never been accomplished before.

In this episode of the Women in Safety Podcast, Alanna Ball and Amy Morris take a closer look at incident investigations and the bigger system issues that often sit behind safety events. Rather than defaulting to worker blame or behaviour-based explanations, they explore what happens when controls are poorly designed, hard to apply, or simply do not hold up in real working conditions.The conversation highlights why incident investigations need to go beyond surface-level findings and ask better questions about how work is actually done. Alanna and Amy discuss the importance of classifying incidents properly, understanding the difference between workable and unworkable controls, and looking at the wider organisational conditions that shape risk and decision-making.Episode HighlightsWhy correct incident classification matters when deciding where effort and resources should goHow many incidents involve controls that are difficult or unrealistic to apply in real-world conditionsThe difference between easy, difficult, and unworkable controls, and why that matters in preventionCommon examples of control failure, including broken equipment, impractical PPE, and the workarounds people create to get the job doneHow poor system design and organisational culture can weaken even well-intended controlsWhy investigation methods need to ask better questions, not just produce quick conclusionsHow strict rule enforcement can sometimes drive unsafe workarounds instead of safer workThe role of wider system weaknesses, beyond individual behaviour, in shaping incident outcomesPractical ways to build more resilient controls through stronger design and organisational learningWhy storytelling matters in incident reporting and helps reveal the full picture behind an eventThis episode is a strong reminder that incidents rarely make sense when viewed through blame alone. Alanna and Amy encourage safety professionals to look more closely at the systems, controls, and organisational conditions surrounding an event, rather than stopping at what the worker did or did not do. When investigations focus on the full story, including the pressures, design flaws, and control gaps involved, they become far more useful for learning and prevention. For anyone working in health and safety, this conversation is a call to strengthen investigations, improve control design, and build systems that work in practice, not just on paper.Connect with Amy:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyleahmorris Stay connected with Women in SafetyWebsitewww.womeninsafety.netVisit the website for upcoming events, programs, and community updates, and subscribe to the newsletter to stay informed throughout the year.Instagramwww.instagram.com/womeninsafetyFollow along for conversations, community highlights, and insights from women across the health and safety profession.Become an Empowered Memberwww.womeninsafety.net/empoweredmembersExplore Empowered Membership to access deeper learning opportunities, exclusive events, and meaningful connection within the Women in Safety community.

A recent episode of Jubilee featuring Dave Rubin has generated one of the biggest reactions ever, after the formerly left-wing podcaster was challenged on his MAGA credentials by 20 young Democrats who took particular issue with his faltering defense of the Iran War. Reviews of the episode have not been kind, pretty much summed up by Glenn Greenwald's assessment that Rubin is “one of the dumbest people in media.” Piers Morgan invites some of the breakout stars of what's being called ‘The Ruin Of Rubin' to come face-to-face with Will Chamberlain, who claims Dave is ‘a good guy'... He takes on Mason, Evan Martinez and Hunter Dunn who all had their moment opposite Rubin in the Jubilee ring. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1954, a group of young Jewish idealists in Egypt were recruited by Israeli intelligence to plant bombs in Western institutions, only to be betrayed by their own double agent handler before the mission even began. Arrests, torture, a show trial, two executions, and a suicide followed. Back in Israel, the fallout was just as devastating: forged documents, cover-ups, and a bitter vendetta between Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon and Prime Minister David Ben Gurion that tore the ruling party apart. This is part two of our series on Israel's most embarrassing intelligence blunder. It reads like fiction. It wasn't. Here are links to Unpacking Israeli History's 3 Part Series on the Suez Canal Crisis.

Welcome to "Travel to Listen," a new Unpacked series hosted by veteran music journalist Tim Chester. Over four episodes rolling out every other week, Tim takes us into the cities where music is more than entertainment—it's the shortcut to a place's soul. This week, he heads to Minneapolis to hear how a community center, a cold climate, and a once-in-a-generation genius combined to create one of the most distinctive sounds in American music, plus how the city is celebrating a decade since Prince's passing. In this episode How the Minneapolis sound emerged from the Great Migration, housing segregation, rock radio, and a community center called The Way, where a teenage Prince jammed alongside Morris Day and Terry Lewis Why Paul Peterson (dubbed St. Paul by Prince himself) believes the Minneapolis sound is joyous, funky, and built to last, and how his supergroup, the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, is carrying it forward The story of historian Kristen Zschomler: how grief over Prince's death led her to track 50+ locations across Minneapolis where he lived, worked, and recorded, and her ongoing mission to get them on the National Register of Historic Places What Prince mastered at his childhood home in North Minneapolis. Plus, why Sound 80, the studio where he cut his first demo tapes at 19, was the launchpad for everything that followed How to experience Minneapolis in 2026: from Paisley Park to First Avenue, Bunkers Music Bar to the Dakota, and the five-day Prince Celebration festival in June marking the 10th anniversary of Prince's death Meet this week's guests Paul Peterson is a musician, songwriter, and former Prince collaborator, dubbed "St. Paul" by the Purple One himself. He was a member of The Time and The Family, appeared in Purple Rain, and is now the leader of the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, an all-star alumni supergroup dedicated to keeping the Minneapolis sound alive. Kristen Zschomler is a historian and co-founder of the International Center 4 Prince Studies. She gives guided tours of Prince's Minneapolis and created Sound Around Tours, a self-guided audio tour app. She has researched and documented over 50 locations tied to Prince's life and work, and has successfully advocated for two of them to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Guest host Tim Chester is a freelance travel and culture writer who has spent the past 20 years exploring the world through the lens of music. His reporting has appeared in NME, Spin, and Afar, and his travels have taken him from Manhattan to Malawi and Beijing to Berlin in search of the festivals, scenes, and stories that reveal a city's soul.

Here's how to do it like a fan. Start here: the essential stops Paisley Park—Prince's home, recording complex, and creative sanctuary in Chanhassen, just outside the city. Now a museum and events venue. Prince's childhood home—the North Minneapolis house where he mastered the piano, decoded albums note by note, and became Prince. Sound 80 Studios—the recording studio where a 19-year-old Prince cut the demo tapes that landed him his Warner Brothers contract. First Avenue—the venue Prince made famous in Purple Rain (he also recorded the song there, performing it live for the first time on that stage). Hear live music Bunkers Music Bar & Grill—the historic North Loop spot where Dr. Mambo's Combo plays every Sunday and Monday night. The Dakota—an intimate downtown jazz club with a packed calendar every night of the week. The Green Room—the venue where St. Paul and the Minneapolis Funk All Stars frequently play Plan for June Celebration 2026—the annual Prince estate event runs June 3–7 this year as a five-day gathering with concerts, dance parties, and unseen footage. The International Center 4 Prince Studies has programming June 1–2 as well, and a new community museum opening in North Minneapolis that flips the curatorial lens: instead of Prince's instruments, it collects the stories of the people he touched. Artists to watch L.A. Buckner and Big Homie David Feily Cory Wong Dylan Salfer Chris Lawrence Alex Rossi Nur-D Nunnabove Up next on Travel to Listen Tim heads to Southern California to explore the spacey, grungy desert rock scene—and to find out there's a lot more to the region than Coachella.

Michelle spoke with Ashley Beatty, a matrescence educator and motherhood coach, about the profound and often unacknowledged transformation women go through when they become mothers. The conversation explored a practical framework — the Matrescence Matrix — to help mothers understand their changes and make decisions that truly reflect who they are now, not who they were before. About Ashley Trained Matrescence Educator Motherhood and Self-Development Coach 20 years in education Mom of two (ages 7 and 12) Works with women navigating the transitions of motherhood across all areas of life What is Matrescence? The transition to and through motherhood — similar to adolescence Not a one-time event — it is iterative and cyclical, recurring with each new stage of a child's development Universal to all mothers, but unique in how it is experiencedby each individual Largely undiscussed and unsupported, despite being a massive identity and life shift The Matrescence Matrix Developed by Nikki McCahon; visualized as a pie chart with 8 domains Domain What It Covers Physical Body changes through pregnancy, birth, and recovery Psychological Identity shifts, sense of self, emotional changes Social How "mom" is perceived and valued in your social circles Cultural Broader societal views and expectations of motherhood Relationships Changes to partnerships, friendships, and family dynamics Career Shifting priorities, career interruptions, work-life alignment Spiritual Legacy, values, religion, purpose Economic Financial impact of maternity leave, career pauses, childcare costs How to Use the Matrix Map your changes — on the pie chart, mark how much you've shifted in each domain (outer edge = most change, center = least) Identify what feels "prickly" — those areas likely signal a misalignment with your current values Explore your values — acknowledge that values shift through motherhood and that's okay Make decisions from that place — rather than defaulting to pre-motherhood expectations or external pressure Key Themes Duality is valid — "I want to grow my business AND be present with my kids" — both can be true Matrescence is cyclical — hard seasons are followed by growth; decisions made now don't have to be permanent Shame and guilt often stem from unacknowledged changes rubbing up against outdated expectations You can't "have it all" in every season — the matrix helps prioritize what matters right now Resources & Links
Welcome back to Feel-Good Fridays. This week, host Aislyn Greene and producer Nikki Galteland are bringing you a special road trip edition — recorded live from the car somewhere in the forests of Michigan, microphones balanced on laps and sunscreen close at hand. It's a two-story episode today, and both come straight from the headlines of everyday life: Sunscreen use is up worldwide — and it's not just public health messaging that's doing it. Better formulas, the global influence of Korean and Japanese skincare, and a generational shift in sun-safety habits all play a role. Nikki and Aislyn dig into the data, swap their favorite SPF picks, and make the case for hand cream on road trips. The millennial song debate: NPR music journalists went looking for the one track that defines a generation, and landed on...well, we can't reveal that. But Aislyn and Nikki compare notes (Evanescence, No Doubt, Usher, J.Lo all make appearances), and share a playlist to soundtrack your own summer drive. Tell us your pick.

The scandal that changed Israel forever began with a failed secret operation in Egypt in 1954. Young Egyptian Jews, recruited by Israeli intelligence, were sent on a mission meant to protect the Jewish state. But the operation collapsed in betrayal, arrests, torture, and cover-ups. The fallout shattered public trust, ripped apart Israel's leadership, and transformed the country's politics for decades to come. Part 1 sets the stage: the fragile world of Egyptian Jewry, the fear gripping six-year-old Israel, and the catastrophic decisions that doomed a group of young idealists.

Funny, inspiring, heartwarming—the only rule is no downers.

Together, we share: A corner of northern India that's quietly becoming a model for sustainable tourism, with tourism up 60 percent since 2018 and a network of community-run homestays that let you walk between guesthouses through pine and oak forests. The story of Craig, a celebrity super tusker elephant whose long, peaceful life in the wild is itself a conservation victory, and what his legacy says about decades of work in Kenya's Amboseli ecosystem A Sonoma incubator quietly rewriting who gets to make California wine, with one-of-a-kind small-batch bottlings to look out for from Leap of Grapes, Ward 4 Wines, and Mad Marvlus Tune in every Friday through June for a fresh trio of stories from Afar's favorite travel writers and editors.

Israel is no stranger to self-examination. In 1948, Ben-Gurion distributed a poem accusing Israeli soldiers of murder. In 1982, hundreds of thousands demanded accountability after Sabra and Shatila. In 2016, the IDF convicted Elor Azaria. But in a post-October 7 world of delegitimization and libels leveled at the Jewish state, that tradition is under strain. Noam unpacks the controversy around Nicholas Kristof's New York Times column, explores Israel's long, remarkable history of holding itself morally accountable, and examines why, in the face of fierce global condemnation, the country has suddenly become ultra-defensive. This episode is dedicated in memory of Armand Lindenbaum, the grandson of Rav Avigdor Amiel, by his wife, Jean, and children, Felice, Amiel, and Ariel Lindenbaum-Sebag.

In the first episode of North Korea Unpacked with Jacco Zwetsloot, Jacco sits down with Professor Andrei Lankov of Kookmin University and a director of Korea Risk Group — the first-ever guest on the original NK News Podcast back in 2018 — to discuss North Korea's newly revealed constitutional changes and what they mean for Pyongyang's worldview. Lankov explains how the revised constitution reframes South Korea not as part of a divided nation, but as a separate and hostile state — a move he argues is designed to reduce the political danger posed by South Korea's far greater wealth and living standards. The conversation also explores what this change could mean for inter-Korean relations, including whether it lowers the chances of war or opens the door to more state-to-state exchanges. Lankov then talks about North Korea's deepening relationship with Russia, before reflecting on his recent removal from Latvia, saying the incident reflects the heightened suspicion around Russia-related events in parts of Europe. About the podcast: North Korea Unpacked with Jacco Zwetsloot is a monthly long-form interview series from the NK News Podcast, featuring in-depth conversations with experts and specialists on North Korea. The regular weekly NK News Podcast, hosted by Alannah Hill, continues to cover the latest developments in the North Korea news cycle.
In this episode of Unpacked and Detangled, we continue the High-Functioning, Still Struggling series by exploring hyper-independence, emotional self-protection, and why receiving love can feel harder than surviving alone.

This episode dives into the tension between wanting love and making room for it, while offering practical ways to begin healing hyper-independence and learning that support can be safe.

As a leading resource for all Jews, it makes perfect sense to consider how Chabad fits into the denominational puzzle of America.

Journalist Haviv Rettig Gur joins Noam to respond to Nicholas Kristof's New York Times column alleging sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees by Israeli forces. They examine the sourcing, the suspicious timing relative to a major Hamas sexual violence report, and ask the hardest question: how do Jews stay morally serious about real problems within Israeli society when the world holds them to a standard applied to no one else?

Cam brings a minor league baseball brawl that has everyone debating taunting rules across every sport. Then CannCon breaks down why the Internet gave dumb people access to each other, explains Looney Tunes to a small child in 2026, and the whole crew wraps up trading Pickle Rick quotes and simulation theory. Men uncensored, unfiltered, and unsupervised.

How did an ancient story of mass suicide become the cornerstone of Israeli national identity? In Part 2, Noam traces Masada's unlikely revival, from forgotten footnote to rallying cry in the shadow of the Holocaust. But the story rests on a single source: Josephus, a man who surrendered to Rome and wrote under Roman patronage. That's the power of myth. And Noam explores: should Masada remain a national icon?"

What if the silence isn't judgment? Rabbi Josh shares a powerful moment from a silent retreat that reveals how anxiety turns strangers into threats. Using the Jewish concepts of ayin hara (the evil eye) and ayin tova (a generous perspective), he shows how shifting your inner filter can transform fear into openness and offers a practical meditation to help you do just that.

A mountaintop. A siege. A mass death that became legend. But what if the story of Masada isn't what we think it is? In this episode, we go back 2,000 years to the final days of the Jewish revolt against Rome, where a group of rebels made a choice that would echo through history. Along the way, we unpack the factions, the violence, and the devastating collapse of Judean society, and we ask a simple but unsettling question: How much of this story is history, how much is myth, and what does it mean to us, today, as we think about the development of Israeli history?
