Podcasts about Village

Welcome back for this week's visit to the Village. This week we'll review some offerings from Netflix as well as some movies you might want to watch or avoid. All that and we crown this week's Awesome Villager.

Welcome to Part Two of our village series, where I'm diving even deeper into what it really takes to find your people. This episode is all about busting the myth that you need a perfect group to fit into—because guess what? You're not a jigsaw puzzle piece. We talk about why we're so quick to judge, how our personal values (and parenting ideals) shape who we connect with, and how to balance being picky with being open. I also share a bit about my own friendships—the ones that have lasted, the ones that faded, and what I've learned along the way. If you're navigating motherhood without a ride-or-die, or just trying to figure out how to make real friends in this messy season, this one's for you.Timestamps:(00:02:28) Embracing Vulnerability for Building Adult Friendships(00:04:20) Navigating Social Awkwardness Without Alcohol(00:08:03) Embracing Vulnerability for Connection and Belonging⁠Jamie's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oh Crap!

Retour en 1984, le week-end de Pâques. Dans un petit village reculé de la province de Luxembourg, un événement un peu inattendu voit le jour : la naissance du tout premier village du livre en Belgique, à Redu. Des livres partout, dans les rues, les granges, les anciennes étables, ou encore installés sur des étals improvisés pour l'occasion. Et c'est un vrai succès : pas moins de 15.000 visiteurs déambulent ce week-end-là à travers le village, curieux de chiner des ouvrages rares ou d'occasion. Mais Redu ne vit pas que dans les souvenirs ! Le village du livre est toujours bien vivant : ses librairies, ses artisans passionnés, sont là pour accueillir les visiteurs. Et cet été, une exposition insolite vous y attend : une rencontre inattendue entre deux mondes – le vitrail et la bande dessinée, dans laquelle es héros de la BD franco-belge deviennent des vitraux lumineux, à découvrir jusqu'au 31 août. Et notez-le déjà : le 2 août 2025, c'est la Nuit du Livre à Redu. Une belle occasion, parmi d'autres, de redécouvrir ce village unique et sa passion intacte pour les livres.

Send us a textSongwriter Gabe Schillman truly embodies the "living on the road" lifestyle—he doesn't even own a home. With 232 shows performed nationwide last year alone, this professional songwriter and touring artist has turned his nomadic existence into both an art form and a mission.During our candid conversation, Gabe reveals the fascinating world of contract songwriting, where artists craft music to fit specific commercial, film, and entertainment needs. "Music is everywhere," he explains. "Every note sounds like something, whether it's sad, happy, mad—every note sounds like an emotion." This perspective has allowed him to create music that resonates across diverse audiences while working with industry legends like Ted Perlman, producer for Bob Dylan and Diana Ross.What truly sets Gabe apart is his newest venture, the Rustic Revival Roadshow. This isn't just another concert tour—it's a purpose-driven mission bringing high-quality performances to rural communities while raising funds for local causes. From building veteran memorials to supporting organizations like TUGS.org that help struggling family farmers facing high suicide rates, Gabe has found a way to transform music into meaningful community impact.Perhaps the most powerful moment comes when this fiercely independent artist admits that his greatest growth occurred when he finally allowed others to help. "Let your guard down just a little bit," he advises fellow artists. "Accept the help that you've been reluctant to accept." It's a vulnerable admission from someone who's spent decades building a career on self-reliance.Ready to experience Gabe's music and mission? Follow him at KingGabe.com, join "King Gabe's Village" on social media, and watch for the Rustic Revival Roadshow launching this August. This is more than just music—it's a movement bringing hope, purpose, and world-class entertainment to the heart of rural America.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Send us a textRemember when Atlanta clubs were all about getting sweaty on the dance floor instead of flexing in VIP sections? The Village Vets take you on a journey through the evolution of ATL's nightlife culture, pinpointing exactly when and how everything changed. Around 2010, clubs prioritized dancing and authentic good times, but by 2013, a seismic shift began transforming the scene into something far more status-driven and expensive.The crew explores how music itself caused this transformation – as Travis Porter's "ass-shaking" anthems gave way to Future's "money and drugs" era, the very soul of club culture morphed with it. Now, you're spending $95 on a single round of shots where once you could just show up ready to dance. "Your money is what talks for you now," they lament, remembering when your dance moves and conversation skills were currency enough.Beyond club culture, the Vets dive into heated debates about Wayne's Carter VI album quality, the complex DDG-Halle Bailey custody situation, and how postpartum issues affect relationships. Their discussion on mental health and immigration reveals surprising personal connections that have shaped their perspectives beyond partisan talking points. The episode wraps with NBA Finals predictions that favor OKC despite Indiana's compelling underdog story. Whether reminiscing about the good old sweaty dance floor days or tackling today's tough topics, the Village Vets bring their trademark unfiltered perspective to everything they touch.Ready to join the conversation?

Jacob Mullins, Venture Partner at Village Global, welcomes Kristen Ostro, founder and CEO of Strut Consulting, to discuss the foundational elements that set venture capital firms up for long-term success. Kristen shares how her career began under the mentorship of Dick Kramlich at NEA, where she was trained in the core values and operational excellence that have shaped her approach to supporting dozens of VC firms across Silicon Valley. Drawing on this experience, Kristen explains why establishing a clear mission, vision, and values (MVV) framework is essential for firm alignment, decision-making, and building a resilient culture.Kristen outlines the common pitfalls firms face when they skip the MVV exercise, such as misalignment, wasted resources, and cultural drift, and offers actionable advice for integrating MVV into hiring, branding, and succession planning. She emphasizes that it's never too late for a firm to revisit and refine its core principles, and shares practical tips for making the process collaborative and authentic.Listeners will gain valuable insights on how to differentiate their firm in a competitive market, attract top talent, and create a legacy that stands the test of time. Kristen's reflections, inspired by her early training with one of venture capital's founding fathers, offer a roadmap for building a values-driven organization that can thrive for decades.VC Mastermind is a private podcast for VC Managing Partners.

The Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire is the largest ren faire in the state. It will bring out fairies, pirates, knights in shining armor, and more for five weeks, starting in mid-July, near the Skykomish River outside of Monroe. It has a whole lot of fans including one of our colleagues at KUOW, Vicky VanHout. She says Ren Faires are all about dressing up in medieval garb, dancing to medieval themed music, archery, and axe throwing. A celebration of cosplay and history together! But, not everyone is happy with the state of the faire. They say something’s amiss, and it’s not the pirates hitting the grog too hard or Mistress Tiddlywinks’ donkey breaking into the cabbage patch… The Village of Merriwick, AKA the fictional home of the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire, is at the center of a new investigative report in the summer edition of Seattle Met. The story details a series of allegations about management’s treatment of volunteer staff and questions about their financial priorities, as well as bigger questions about changes that some argue are sacrificing the “soul” of the Faire. We reached out to both Washington Renaissance Arts & Education Society and Wandering in Time Productions for their response to Nathalie’s story. They declined an interview, but they did send us a statement: "Wandering in Time Productions is a Pacific Northwest institution, employing nearly 120 full-time, part-time, and contract staff. Its partnership with the Washington Renaissance Arts & Education Society has WITP providing essential services to help produce a high-quality, immersive event each year. In 2024, WITP assumed responsibility for guild and entertainer payments and transitioned to a more equitable contractor model, reinforcing its commitment to fairness and sustainability. WITP, in partnership with the WRAES, puts its heart and soul into bringing an extraordinary production to life each summer. Putting on a high-quality event that welcomes approximately 10,000 visitors daily takes time, effort and significant financial resources. Like many businesses across Washington, the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire has felt the impact of rising production costs. As a result, we have had to make difficult decisions, including increases to ticket prices and a more selective vendor invitation process to ensure the Faire’s continued success. We have also adopted policies, such as quiet hours, meant to ensure that the greatest number of our guests and participants are as comfortable as possible. WITP is also aware that, in past years, a small number of vendors, staff and entertainers have acted in ways that do not reflect the values of our community. When concerns were brought to our attention, WITP responded quickly and decisively based on available information. WITP remains committed to creating a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for all. WITP and WRAES look forward to welcoming all our guests this summer, especially those who have attended for generations, to create magical and memorable experiences together. Our focus remains on creating a safe, inclusive and memorable experience for the many guests, vendors, entertainers and staff who make the Faire possible each year."

“All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn't be that hard.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale.Last month, Margaret Hoover lobbed Hillary Clinton with sickeningly sweet softball questions for a lengthy interview about her new book. What book was it? Who knows, and who cares? Whatever it is, almost nothing in it will be the truth.When asked what advice she would give to the first woman president, Hillary paused — a pregnant pause that seemed to say, “Well, why can't it still be me?” as the audience laughed. Then, she said, “Don't be a Handmaiden for the patriarchy,” like all the women on the Right.But she's wrong. Republican women aren't the Handmaids. On the contrary, they've put the so-called “feminists” to shame. They aren't afraid of the fanatics on the Left who tried to force all of us into compliance. They have spoken out without mincing words about scientific and biological reality.Most importantly, they have been the only women in government willing to stare down the cult that seeks to erase women. Not a single Democrat has that kind of courage, male or female. But it's those who call themselves “feminists” who have been exposed as cowards and frauds. They are the real Handmaids.I didn't use to think so. I thought Hillary Clinton fought for the rights of women and girls. That's how she sold herself, anyway, and liberal women like me bought the lie. I even downloaded an audio copy of The Handmaid's Tale, thinking it would resonate with me as part of the “resistance.”But as the story unfolded, a chill went down my spine. It didn't remind me of the Right. It reminded me of the Left, everything that had happened to us after Trump won the first time, and how quickly mass hysteria consumed us and how obedient we all became in the wake of it.As if to prove my point, I knew I could not tell my friends we were the side living the Handmaid's Tale. As I began to pull away from my fellow comrades on the Left and directly challenge the new rules of the Woke, I thought some women who called themselves leaders would rise up and speak out. They never did.When I realized that the transgender social contagion had captured a generation of young girls and boys, and how so many of them were waking up to what happened to them at the hands of professionals, therapists, clinicians, and experts, I waited for strong female leaders to stand up for them, to protect them. They never did.When the fanatics on the Left rewrote the rules of biological reality, like there is no difference between men and women, that “trans women are women,” whether they're competing in sports, Jeopardy, or Chess. I thought the strong female leaders who fought so hard for Title IX would speak up and fight for women and girls to compete fairly. They never did.Hillary Clinton's silence on these fundamental rights to protect women and children has been deafening. Even though her history will be written by pandering sycophants like I used to be, who will never call her out for her silence and complicity, some of us will never forget.She and the other “feminists” leave quite a legacy. A whole generation of young women raised to sell themselves out, women like Olympic athlete Simone Biles, who exposed herself as a Handmaid on X by attacking Riley Gaines in a deeply personal way, calling her a “sore loser.”But imagine if Biles had to compete against biological men. Would she stand by and say nothing? Would she chant “trans women are women”?The real fight for women's rights, and the rights of children, has exposed the so-called feminists like Hillary Clinton, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and every female Democrat in Congress as too weak and ineffectual ever to be real leaders.They've turned a blind eye to stories of girls being forced to share a dorm with a man pretending to be a woman whose visible erection gave him away. They said nothing when a sex offender infiltrated the Wi Spa in Los Angeles and exposed himself to little girls and women, with protesters outside chanting Trans Women are Women.The Democrats haven't just gone along with it; they've gaslighted and shamed any Republican who dares to try to end the madness. They work hard every day to make sure young girls are told they do not have the right to speak up for their own protection, for fairness in sports, because it will ruin their lives if they do.Handmaids don't speak out. They can't. Handmaids do as they're told. Handmaids live in fear. Handmaids bow to their authoritarian leader. That's not the women on the Right, Hillary, that's you.Whatever the feminist movement used to be, it's been hijacked by approval-seeking narcissists who cling to abortion as the only act of empowerment they have left. They do not realize that all that does is further erode the rights of women. If babies don't matter, then mothers don't matter. If mothers don't matter, civilization collapses.The first thing cults do is separate children from their mothers. It's easy to see why. If you break that bond, they can be more easily controlled—both the women and the children.Like Hillary Clinton, Simone Biles might not know what Riley Gaines has suffered when she was trapped in a classroom and held hostage as activists surrounded her, screamed at her, and mocked her fear—all of giving a speech.Instead, Biles and the rest of the Handmaids of the Left have basked in the adoration bestowed upon them by the cult that rewards them for their obedience.But because of their “don't ask, don't tell” strategy of dealing with a problem they can't solve, it's been left up to a growing chorus of voices speaking out - loudly, boldly, and without fear.What does Hillary think that Trump, the man she called a rapist and a misogynist did what she never could, that he signed an Executive Order to protect women in sports.What does she think about his proclamation that it's time to end the madness of “gender-affirming care?” Does it bother her that a man has done the dirty work? Who knows, no one will ever ask her that question. She exists in her own insular bubble, a padded cell that keeps the hard questions out.But the man she insists we should all fear is the one who helped rescue women and children from the clutches of fanaticism.It Takes a Village to De-Trans AmericaThe list of those who have stuck their necks out includes women and men from all backgrounds, on the Left and the Right. Megyn Kelly has become a singular force in the movement. As her media empire has grown, so has her voice. Her videos are seen by millions every day. The story of how this war was won cannot be told without her.The women of the Right that Hillary Clinton smeared deserve much credit, too, for staring down the cult and using their power in Congress to give victims a platform.Many women who still consider themselves Democrats are out there fighting, uniting with Republicans to pass legislation, like Jamie Reed, a former gender clinician who now goes state to state, ensuring bills protecting children from “gender affirming care” are passed.Those the Left shunned and exiled for speaking inconvenient truths are also out there fighting, like Jennifer Sey, who has launched a clothing company called XX-YY Athletics, which celebrates female athletes and points out the differences between the sexes.Here is their latest ad.And then there are the parents who are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore.Outspoken Detransitioners like Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley have given a face to the destructive effects of social contagion.There are even many in the gay and trans communities who understand cultists have hijacked their movement, and many of them are out there fighting too./// This is a public episode.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Charles Willey experienced hundreds of fires on his property in the summer of 1948 – but how did they start? (The Macomb Firestarter) *** Two men interested in the same woman – all three spending a day together. Not a good plan from the start. Add a bit of alcohol and you just may have a powder keg ready to explode. (Rum, Jealously, and Murder) *** Over the course of just two years, Christopher Duntsch operated on 38 patients in the Dallas area, leaving 31 paralyzed or seriously injured and two of them dead. It's no wonder he was given the morbid nickname of “Dr. Death”. (Doctor Death) *** A child's game of hide-and-seek turns to terror. (The House At The Front) *** In the Outback of Queensland, Australia, ghostly orbs of light have been frightening people for centuries. What do we know about the mystery of the orbs and what are some of the theories about what they could be? (The Min Min Orbs) *** Are extraterrestrials secretly watching over us and saving us from our own destruction? (Our Alien Protectors) *** When Jeffrey Dampier won the lottery, he thought he finally had it all. Little did he know that someone was about to take everything from him. (No Good Deed Goes Unpunished) *** They found Annie stretched out on the floor with a pistol lying by her hand. There was no sign of a struggle and nothing had been taken; they could only conclude that Annie had taken her own life. But is that really what happened? (The Annie Dorman Mystery) *** When you think of seeing a ghost, you almost automatically envision an ethereal being, in flowing white – like that of a woman in a wedding dress. And that might make sense, seeing as there are a lot of dead brides-to-be floating around America. (Til Death: Ghost Brides of the United States) *** You've seen them on the outside of large gothic buildings and massive churches. Their stone faces and menacing presence can be unsettling to some. But what are the purpose of gargoyles? (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Were Betty and Barney Hill actually visited and even abducted by aliens in 1961, or was it an outlandish story just to get attention?

Our stories today take us through some ways folks in the Village are spending their days and evening in the early summer. We'll start by laying the table under the string lights in the garden and pulling up chairs with friends in The Dinner Bell. Then we'll see where the night takes us, from the blanket in the part to the lot on the edge of town, with bubbles and blankets in At The Drive-In. Finally we'll slow down, take some deep breaths and reset by arriving Early to Yoga. Subscribe to our Premium channel. The first month is on us.
