Is space fake? Are the stars real? How about other planets? Despite what they tried to teach you in school, doesn't it just feel like the Earth is actually the center of the universe? Adam looks at people who don't believe in space, and explores why that may be. Darren gives us book reviews on two books. The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes–and Why by Amanda Ripley is a thorough analysis of how people reach to immediate disasters.

When Life Breaks You Open *A gentle content note: This episode includes discussion of infant loss and grief. Please listen with care.*What if the moments that break us open can also become the moments that reveal our deepest purpose?In this deeply personal conversation, Hope Alcocer shares her journey through trauma, loss, entrepreneurship, and healing, and how some of life's hardest experiences ultimately shaped the work she does today. We talk about the art of the pivot, finding courage when life doesn't go according to plan, and why authenticity and genuine human connection matter more than ever in a world increasingly shaped by AI.Hope also opens up about the loss of her daughter, Mia, and the powerful way she has chosen to honor her through the Mia Joy Foundation, creating community and support for NICU families and others navigating grief. We explore what grief looks like long after the funeral, how couples can navigate profound loss together, the signs we sometimes find from the people we've lost, and how it's possible to make room for joy without leaving grief behind.Whether you're an entrepreneur navigating a major pivot, a woman facing an unexpected chapter, or someone learning to live alongside loss, Hope's story is a powerful reminder that we are stronger than we realize—and that there can still be magic and purpose in what goes right.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hope Alcocer and her journey02:13 Hope's personal story and the significance of pain04:00 Her family's history of resilience and trauma05:31 The pivot from psychology to media and marketing06:54 Overcoming fear and embracing the art of the pivot08:30 Authenticity in marketing and media today12:01 The impact of AI and returning to basics in marketing14:09 Building trust through authenticity and storytelling18:47 The story behind the Mia Joy Foundation21:56 Honoring Mia and supporting NICU families23:59 Navigating grief as a couple and the importance of communication26:52 The ongoing journey of grief and healing30:11 Lessons learned and supporting others in grief33:56 Finding joy and purpose after loss35:55 Signs of loved ones and spiritual connection38:59 Supporting others through grief and loss43:04 How to support women facing grief and trauma45:11 Hope Alcocer's message of strength and loveConnect with Hope:Website - The Mia Joy Foundation: https://www.miajoyfoundation.org/The Mia Joy Foundation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themiajoyfoundation/Website - Hope Alcocer: https://www.hopealcocer.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hopealcocerConnect with The Women On Top:Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  Subscribe for more empowering conversations and stories!Website: https://thewomenontop.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewomenontop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomenontoppodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-lynn/

Scott Rettberg sits down with philosopher Pierre Cassou-Noguès and artist-researcher Gwenola Wagon to discuss their collaborative theory-fiction book, The Pyromaniac Images (Les Images Pyromanes). Inspired by the 2022 Lande region megafires, they explore how social media and generative AI make ecological catastrophes simultaneously hyper-visible and curiously invisible. The conversation examines the energy costs of AI imagery as a form of "pyromaniac" spectacle, the role of kitsch and banality in generative media, and how speculative fiction can serve as a critical tool for navigating contemporary technological transformation.

We conclude the Samuel L. Jackson themed September week with more clips from the archives edited with new exclusive reviews:   I dive into the various political dramas and social thrillers that prove to be uncanny deep cuts in Jackson's career but which ones will prove to hit a homerun while others end up becoming meandering well-intended borefests?   Is Jackson always perfect even when a movie lets him down?    And which one ends up being one of his most personal undertakings?   FILMS REVIEWED: Dead Man Out, Against the Wall, 187, Changing Lanes, In My Country, Freedomland, Unthinkable, Big Game & The Sunset Limited   QUOTES USED: A Time to Kill & Pulp Fiction

The RINOs are trying to stage an uprising. Karl Rove (R-Ino.) made a statement that he is going to be voting Democrat, as opposed to voting for railroad commissioner candidate Bo French(R-Texas), who he called “bigoted” for his UT Austin post. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) amplified Rove's message and hinted toward voting Democrat as well. Meanwhile, RINO Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) made a campaign ad calling out Trump and advocating for giving illegal aliens amnesty. These people just need to become Democrats already. There is never an end to the scams coming from immigrants who overstay their welcome. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce fell victim to a $35 million Indian Ponzi scheme. Sidharth Jawahar, an illegal alien from India, took millions from high-end clients. He spent his money on all kinds of luxury but is now serving 11 years in prison. So even cancer is political now, according to Democrats. We can't even all agree that cancer is awful. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) wrote an essay that breast cancer is a disease that affects people with “social power and privilege.” He finds the funding for this cancer research “disturbing” and denounced the pink ribbon lobby. And he's still trying his hardest to shy away from his equally insane bestie, Hasan Piker. Muslim Commie Mayor Mamdani is solving all kinds of problems that no one knew existed and nobody asked for. He is spending $4 million for public toilets. The craziest thing: These toilets are on a timer, meaning if you're too slow, you're going to get exposed to the entire city.  Yep, that sounds like communist New York City.   ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC    ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area.   ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1    ► BlazeTV Go to BLAZETV.COM/SARA and use promo code SARA for $20 off.   Timestamps:  00:00 - RINOs Attempt an Uprising 22:37 - Travis Kelce Victim of Indian Ponzi Scheme 29:14 - El-Sayed Against Breast Cancer Research 42:14 - Mamdani's Timed Toilets Learn more about your ad choices.

Authorities didn’t want anyone investigating whether COVID vaccines played a role in a sudden doubling of unexplained infant deaths. So when one of their own started asking questions, they went after her. Ottawa police suspended veteran detective Helen Grus after she uncovered cases that demanded answers. Parents reportedly picked up healthy babies to feed them, only to watch them collapse and die in their arms. Another baby had an enlarged heart. After 19 years in law enforcement, Grus had never seen anything like it. So she investigated. Police sent her home and accused her of improperly accessing records. Grus breaks down describing one of these deaths. Imagine losing your baby under mysterious circumstances. Wouldn’t you want police to investigate every possibility? Instead, authorities targeted one of their own to stop the questions. We need more people with the courage of Helen Grus.

What happens to human connection when speech, memory, and cognitive faculties begin to fade?In this episode of This is Yoga Therapy, host Michele Lawrence sits down with colleague Denyse LeFever, MBA, C-IAYT, a certified yoga therapist specializing in healthy aging, cancer support, and cognitive longevity.Denyse recently authored the chapter "Connecting With Those Who Forget" in the newly released The Caregiver's Advocate (Volume 3). In her writing and in this conversation, Denyse shares a raw, intimate look at navigating caregiving from two distinct vantage points: first as a daughter witnessing her brilliant father's decline from Alzheimer's, and years later as a wife sitting bedside in the ICU as her husband emerged from an extended bypass coma with acute post-operative delirium ("pumphead syndrome").Together, Michele and Denyse explore how the philosophical frameworks of yoga therapy—specifically the Panchamaya Kosha model—allow us to recognize that the true self (Anandamaya Kosha) remains whole even when the thinking mind (Manomaya/Vijnanamaya) is impaired. Denyse breaks down the neuroscience behind evidenced-based practices like Kirtan Kriya, and restorative  tools like Yoga Nidra that offer support for caregivers navigating chronic stress and burnout.What We Discuss in This Episode:Navigating the Unthinkable in the ICU: Denyse recounts the moment her husband, Pierce, opened his eyes after a three-week medically induced coma following open-heart surgery, and what it meant to face the cognitive fallout of post-perfusion syndrome ("pumphead").“He's Still There!” — The Koshas & Cognitive Decline: Why friends questioned her visits to her non-verbal father with Alzheimer's, and how yoga philosophy teaches us to connect beneath language and intellect through non-verbal presence, tactile contact, and music.The Clinical Science of Kirtan Kriya (Sa Ta Na Ma): Denyse's work with the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF), explaining how the 12-minute combination of tongue-to-palate reflex points, fingertip mudras, and sound vibration enhances cerebral blood flow and telomerase activity.Meeting Clients Where They Are: Simple modifications to traditional practices for clients with religious hesitation or cognitive fatigue.Caregiver Stress & Burnout: Addressing the hidden reality of caregiver PTSD, the physical cost of putting one's life on hold, and how Yoga Nidra offers true physiological reset when sleep feels impossible.The 60-Second Reset: A simple, accessible pranayama tool ("Blow Out the Candles") that any caregiver can use during acute moments of stress or sundowning.Resources & Links Mentioned:Denyse's Website & Classes: Lavender Om Wellness (Explore Denyse's guided Kirtan Kriya, restorative practices, and Yoga Nidra recordings)Book: The Caregiver's Advocate (Volume 3) — featuring Denyse's chapter: "Connecting With Those Who Forget: Yoga for Stress Relief and Better Brain Health"Research Partner: Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation (ARPF) — Access clinical studies on Kirtan Kriya and the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer's PreventionSupport the showConnect with Inner Peace Yoga TherapyEmail us: info@innerpeaceyogatherapy.comWebsiteInstagramFacebook

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis harrowing episode was terminated off my YouTube channel right before my entire channel was also terminated. No reasons why the episode triggered such an immediate response, but given YouTube's more stable platforming in the current moment, I am going to try my luck with posting this episode here again as it was barely seen before it was taken down... I hope you get a lot from this episode. It remains a conversation that haunts me to this day...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today I'm honored to introduce you all to: Child sex trafficking, mind control and Satanic and Masonic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, devoted and loving husband, man of God, and an absolute inspiration: David, and his incredible wife and unsung hero: Carol!A little bit about David if you missed his interview on 50 Voices of Ritual Abuse:David was born into a multi-generational satanic family and from the time he was born, his life was dedicated to the cult where they spent years shattering his mind through trauma-based mind control, SRA, and other organized and sophisticated organized abuse methods. At the age of 3, David was already being forced to partake in rituals and soon after, he began being trafficked by the Freemasons and was sex trafficked to different countries, in underground tunnels, and even at the Vatican. David was eventually taken to the Tavistock Institute where part of him was programmed to be used to transfer information to places like the Vatican. In addition to being used as a sex slave and a courier, David was also programmed for the New World Order (like many other survivors on this podcast), and remembers being forced to attend adrenochrome parties and human hunting events.In 2014, David began disclosing to his wife, Carol, that he remembers being sexually abused as a child. And then in 2021, a divine intervention occurred which led Carol and David to stumble on and discover some new terminology which led them to discover that David had Dissociative Identity Disorder and that he was a satanic ritual abuse survivor. Although David's testimony is harrowing, horrifying and gut-wrenching, his life on the other side of healing is not. Working together, David and Carol have worked tirelessly on integrating his identities and dismantling his programming.Some topics that David and Carol will be discussing on today's episode are rituals and programming, how programming affects faith in God and the Bible, how different identities are created, the importance of integrating identities, cult targeting and accessing, the crazy reality that the cult even go so far as to access a non-cult spouse/partner of a survivor - and that the survivor may be expected to sacrifice their non cult partner… and so much more. Through David's testimony, you will find yourself marveling in awe at the incredible miracle it is that he is seated in front of us today after what he went through and overcame. David is a living testament of how the darkness has no choice but to cower in the face of light and it's a great honor we get to hear him speak today. So, please put away whatever you are doing, grab a pen and paper, and give this brave warrior and his incredible wife your full attention as we take a deep dive into some important topics today!

The Lindsay Clancy case has prompted an enormous debate about postpartum psychosis, criminal responsibility, psychiatric treatment and whether severe mental illness can ever be reliably predicted.In this episode Dr. Alex examines the case not to deliver a verdict on Lindsay Clancy, but to explore what it reveals about the realities and limitations of psychiatry.The episode looks at Lindsay Clancy's psychiatric deterioration after the birth of her third child, her treatment for anxiety, depression and insomnia, her admission to McLean Hospital, the unusually complicated sequence of psychiatric medications she was prescribed, and the competing claims surrounding the case.It also explores some of the most difficult questions in mental healthcare: How accurately can psychiatrists predict suicide or violence? Can someone appear organised while experiencing psychosis? How difficult can postpartum psychosis be to detect? Can starting and stopping psychiatric medications destabilise someone's mental state? Presented by Dr. Alex Curmi. Dr. Alex is a consultant psychiatrist and a UKCP registered psychotherapist.

Wright sits down with bestselling author and speaker Carol Kent for a powerful conversation about faith, heartbreak, surrender, and finding hope when circumstances seem impossible.Carol shares the deeply personal story of her son, Jason, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate whose life changed forever after he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.For Carol and her husband, Gene, the journey brought overwhelming grief, unanswered questions, and a new reality they never could have imagined. Yet in the middle of that brokenness, they discovered an enduring truth: when God seems absent, He is still present.Carol explains how her family learned to surrender what they could not control, choose life rather than emotional defeat, and allow their pain to become a platform for sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.She also shares how Jason has used his years in prison to minister to other inmates, encourage men in their faith, mentor those around him, and point others toward Christ.The conversation explores themes from Carol's books When I Lay My Isaac Down and A New Kind of Normal, including what it means to trust God when life does not have a neat or tidy ending.IN THIS EPISODECarol Kent's journey through an unimaginable family crisisLearning to recognize God's presence in seasons of sufferingSurrendering what we cannot controlChoosing life, gratitude, and purpose in difficult circumstancesWhy vulnerability can open doors for ministryThe importance of simply weeping with those who are hurtingHow God can redeem suffering without minimizing its consequencesJason Kent's ministry and influence among fellow inmatesPrison ministry and caring for incarcerated people and their familiesFinding purpose when your prayers have not yet been answeredBelieving that God is still at work among the ruinsCarol's testimony reminds us that our circumstances do not have the final word.

Indiana football turns toward Howard week, and this Bison Briefing covers the Hoosiers' biggest watch points after the North Texas opener, plus a wide-angle look at college football's biggest Week 2 games.Galen Clavio opens with a reminder to check out the new CrimsonCast interview with Ben Portnoy, then moves through a packed Q&A covering IU football, the Big Ten, the College Football Playoff, and the broader Indiana athletics scene. The show also includes a quick look back at early CrimsonCast history, including the 2012 Indiana-UMass recap era and the old BlogTalkRadio days.The football discussion starts with Indiana's growing NFL footprint. Galen reacts to IU's graphic of former Hoosiers on NFL rosters, including recent championship-era players like Riley Nowakowski, Elijah Sarratt, Aiden Fisher, D'Angelo Ponds, and Omar Cooper Jr., plus earlier standouts like Miles Price, Curtis Rourke, and CJ West.From there, it's on to the unofficial Big Ten/SEC weekend challenge: Oklahoma-Michigan, Mississippi State-Minnesota, and Ohio State-Texas. Galen gives his read on Michigan's bounce-back chances, why Minnesota may be well-positioned against Mississippi State, and why Ohio State's trip to Austin could tell us a lot about Julian Sayin, Arch Manning, and the early College Football Playoff race.The IU-specific portion focuses on what to watch against Howard. Galen wants cleaner defensive execution, sharper tackling, fewer assignment issues, and more clarity in the defensive line rotations after the North Texas game. He also looks at whether Sean Cuono or another third running back gets meaningful reps with Khobie Martin injured and Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. leading the rotation.The show closes with a reaction to an excerpt from Zach Osterman and Mike Niziolek's upcoming book, Unthinkable to Unstoppable, including Curt Cignetti's “pray for Oregon” line, Indiana's defensive game plan against Dante Moore, and what that Oregon win revealed about IU's rise into a national power. Galen also gives shoutouts to Indiana men's soccer, now surging near the top of the national rankings, and IU volleyball, which finally comes home to Wilkinson Hall.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast, Bison Briefing, Indiana football, IU athletics, Big Ten football, and college football coverage all season long.

There are moments that divide history into a before and an after—and there are people whose lives become forever trapped at that dividing line. My guest today is Virginia “Ginny” Buckingham, author of the deeply personal memoir, On My Watch. Before September 11, 2001, Ginny was one of Massachusetts' most accomplished young public servants. She served as chief of staff to two governors and, at just 35 years old, became the first woman to lead the Massachusetts Port Authority, which oversees Boston's Logan International Airport. Then came 9/11. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175—the two planes that struck the World Trade Center—had departed from Logan. In the anguish and confusion that followed, America searched desperately for answers. Politics searched for someone to blame. And Ginny Buckingham became a target. She was publicly condemned, politically abandoned and eventually forced to resign. Two years later, she was personally named in a wrongful-death lawsuit. The 9/11 Commission would ultimately establish that Logan's security checkpoints had operated according to the federal regulations in place at the time. But public vindication could not erase the private wounds. Ginny endured years of guilt, self-doubt and post-traumatic stress. As she writes, she was not shattered instantly, like hand-blown glass, but gradually—like a bottle cast into the sea and slowly broken apart by the relentless movement of the waves. She lost her career. She lost her sense of identity and worth. And she nearly lost her life. Yet love remained: a husband who stood beside her, children whose presence called her back from the darkness, and a faith that taught her to examine what was truly hers—but never to confess to another person's evil. On My Watch is not simply another book about September 11. It is a story about what happens when the world assigns you a story that is not true—and how you find the courage to reclaim your own life. It is about scapegoating, the dangerous human impulse to transform fear into blame. It is about learning that responsibility must be grounded in truth, not in false guilt. And it is about a different kind of resilience—not forgetting, not simply “moving on,” but moving forward and using even an unjust burden to bring light to others. Today, Virginia Buckingham stands again—on her watch, in her truth. Ginny Buckingham, welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show. ——

There are moments that divide history into a before and an after—and there are people whose lives become forever trapped at that dividing line.

This week, Thomas sits down with award-winning researcher, author, and science communicator Britt Wray to discuss the need for collective care, systemic action, and spiritual introspection in addressing the climate crisis and its psychological effects.Britt offers an approach to climate anxiety, called “Transformational Resilience,” that focuses on channeling emotional distress into meaningful action and care, rather than resorting to denial or returning to an unhelpful baseline.She and Thomas also explore how climate action is like a relay race, where action is sustained over time by passing the baton, and how acting in alignment with environmental values reduces cognitive dissonance and fosters emotional well-being.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Bangladesh stunned Australia by nine wickets in the first Test at Darwin, a result few saw coming. Nikesh Rughani, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss whether Bangladesh were simply too good, or Australia was below par.

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, KB sits down with faith-driven writer, teacher, and ministry leader Stephanie Meeker, author of the memoir When the Unthinkable Happens, whose life changed overnight in 2014 when her best friend Michelle was murdered by her estranged husband and Stephanie and her husband stepped in to raise Michelle's four children. Stephanie shares who Michelle really was — her contagious joy and the prayer life that shaped their friendship and walks through the day she drove to Michelle's house, the shock of identifying the suspect on video, the six-week trial two years later, and the nearly decade-long fight through foster care, social workers, a denied adoption, and a Virginia law they helped change so the children would not have to forfeit their inheritance to be adopted. Along the way she talks honestly about wrestling with God, journaling through grief when the pages stayed blank, the ministry of presence from friends who simply stayed, what not to say to someone who is grieving, and how Philippians 4:4-7 carried her from a season of desperation into a season of rejoicing. It's a raw, hope-filled conversation about surrender, community, and God's faithfulness when life turns out nothing like the life you prayed for.Stephanie's book is available at StephanieMeeker.org, and she and KB are both speaking at Legacy of Her on September 24th in Manassas, Virginia.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

On January 24, 2023, what began as an ordinary evening for a young Massachusetts family ended in an unimaginable tragedy. Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse, wife, and mother of three young children. That night, her husband, Patrick, briefly left their Duxbury home to pick up dinner and medication. When he returned, everything had changed. Their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, would ultimately lose their lives, and Lindsay would survive after suffering serious injuries herself. In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I walk you through what happened that night and the events surrounding the deaths of these three children. As a nurse and former forensic death investigator, this case raises difficult questions for me, not only about the investigation itself, but about mental health following childbirth. Lindsay had reportedly been struggling with her mental health and receiving treatment before the deaths, bringing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis into the national conversation. What happens when a mother's perception of reality becomes distorted? How do investigators begin reconstructing a scene involving multiple children and a critically injured parent? And how do we discuss a case this devastating while remembering that at the center of it are three children whose lives were lost? This week, we're focusing on the night everything happened: the timeline, the circumstances surrounding the deaths, and what investigators began to uncover. Next week, we'll continue with the Lindsay Clancy case as we turn our attention to the courtroom, the evidence and arguments being presented, and the complicated questions surrounding postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. This is a heartbreaking case with no easy answers.

“I live here” - On August 25, 1983, 3-year-old Lori Poland is found alive at the bottom of a 10-foot-deep waste pit beneath a deserted outhouse in the Colorado foothills. When rescuers ask how she got there, she quietly replies, "I live here." Just three days earlier, Lori disappeared from her front yard without a trace. As investigators piece together the case of "The Girl in the Hole," they link her disappearance to reports of a man driving an orange sedan who had been approaching children in the neighborhood and offering them candy. But there's one problem: Lori can't remember anything. With a strong lead but little evidence, Lori is the only person who can bring her captor to justice. Unless her memories return, there may be nothing stopping him from taking another child. - For more from Lori, please see her novel: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/i-live-here-learning-to-heal-through-embracing-your-own-story-lori-ellen-poland/1141665166 - Director, editor & writer: Alexandre Gendron Researchers: Steffi Mac & Bianca Yzabelle Tan Voiceover: William Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution manager: Kat Gardilcic - Sources: Getty Images “Colorado kidnapping survivor tells story, aims to end child abuse” Denver7, 2019. “9NEWS archives: Lori Poland rescued” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Colorado kidnapping survivor Lori Poland graduates high school” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Lori Poland kidnapped 40 years ago” 9NEWS, 2023. “A True Crime Victim's Story - Lori Poland Colorado Kidnapping Survivor & Advocate” The Family Ties True Crime Podcast, 2021. “Woman Who Was Kidnapped, Abused As Child Launches Task Force | Megyn Kelly TODAY” TODAY, 2018. “The Remarkable Story of Survival: Lori Poland” Dr. Mehmet Oz, 2021 “Colorado kidnapping survivor on a mission to end child abuse” 9NEWS, 2022. “We are All Survivors” EndCAN, 2021. “I Live Here” Lori Ellen Poland, 2022. “Lori Poland reflects on her kidnapping, rescue from an outhouse pit” 9NEWS, 2023. “Chief Hosa Lodge” Mitzi South, 2014. “Dangerous Stranger (1972)” A/V Geeks 16mm Films, 2013. “DJI Sheridan Colorado” Ryno Jet, 2018. “9NEWS archives: Robert Thiret sentenced in Colorado kidnapping case” 9NEWS, 2023. “Action News 2-23-81 WPVI” retrodan5, 2016. “40 years after her kidnapping, Lori Poland works to end child abuse and neglect” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Robert Thiret in court for kidnapping charge” 9NEWS, 2023. “80's "Stranger Danger" PSA” American Medical Association, 1984. “Channel 9 News - 5/4/86 - Syracuse, NY” Syracuse Nostalgia, 2011. “Virtual Walk Talk Listen with Lori Poland” Walk Talk Listen, 2022.

This episode first aired on November 2, 2017. In February 2016, 19-year-old Morgan Bauer left Aberdeen, South Dakota, with plans to begin a new life in Atlanta. She'd arranged to stay with people she met on Craigslist, but within weeks of arriving, Morgan stopped contacting her friends and family and vanished without a trace. Her case was soon overshadowed by damaging internet rumors that called her disappearance into question and diverted attention from the people last known to have been with her. Nearly six years after our original episode aired, investigators recovered Morgan's remains in Porterdale, Georgia, and arrested the same couple discussed in our 2017 coverage. One has since pleaded guilty to her murder, while the other remains accused. Stay with us after the replay for an update on the major developments that finally revealed what happened to Morgan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A business that depends on one client, one employee, or one traffic source is more fragile than it looks. One unexpected hit can expose the entire operation. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how to stress-test your business, eliminate single points of failure, and build systems strong enough to survive major disruptions. Success can create dangerous assumptions. You start believing the biggest client will always stay. The top performer will never leave. The lead source will never disappear. That is exactly when risk starts building beneath the surface. In this episode, you'll learn: • How single points of failure make your business dangerously vulnerable• Why founders should regularly test worst-case scenarios• How diversification and cross-training create stronger operations• Why cash reserves and backup systems increase long-term stability The truth is simple: Hope is not a contingency plan. Run the disaster scenarios before they become real. Diversify your revenue. Cross-train your team. Build backup acquisition channels. Protect enough cash to keep operating when something goes wrong. Stop building a house of cards. Build a business that can take a hit and keep moving. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

I’ve noticed a pattern lately: hard workers, high achievers, people with strong identities all saying the same thing— “I just have to stop.” I’m taking it as an invitation. Like fascia releasing into strange, unplanned shapes, we may need to give up who we thought we were to receive what we truly need. In this Gathering Room, I talk frozen shoulders, trauma shaking, and how your body knows the way home. Join me to practice letting go and holding on loosely, so you can take your next “unthinkable” step.

Send us Fan MailHost David welcomes Christine Blosdale, an Australia-based expert authority coach who helps entrepreneurs get seen, trusted, and paid through branding, messaging, and media. David shares how his podcast began during COVID after therapy stopped, following a brutal anti-gay hate crime and rape that shaped his healing and the show's shift to “Surviving-ish,” where trauma and everyday grievances can coexist. Christine's current “ish” includes parenting pet peeves and turning away potential clients whose negativity blocks progress, emphasizing energy, credibility, and fit. They discuss protecting guests who aren't ready to share publicly, how trauma can change trust and identity, and the need to address root causes of abuse and mental health. The conversation expands to U.S. politics, misogyny, homophobia, and power, before Christine plugs her book The Expert Authority Code and offers David a discovery call and longer coaching support. https://www.christineblosdale.com/Support the show

Politico reports that Republicans now think they're seriously doomed in the midterms. One GOP operative offers this truly astonishing quote about Donald Trump's effect on the party: “We're preparing for the bottom to fall out.” Republicans are fretting that Democrats have a real chance of winning Senate and House races in states and districts that Trump won by double digits. Another Trump ally laments that he won't admit he lost the Iran war and is caught in a “classic escalation trap” with no way out. In short, Republicans think Trump is in collapse. And yet...we don't think Democrats are close to putting this away. So we talked to Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg. He argues that the GOP panic is in sync with what public polls do show about the Senate races and discusses other problems the GOP faces (like the coming reinstatement of Trump's tariffs). He also ponders what could still go wrong, urging Democrats to address potential pitfalls—their too-small lead in the generic ballot matchup and their lack of a concrete agenda to close out the home stretch.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
