You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're getting into something that doesn't get talked about enough in parenting: What happens when our stuff shows up in how we raise our kids. In this episode, I'm joined by Eli Harwood, and honestly, this one felt like part conversation, part therapy session. We're talking about what it looks like when your child is wired differently than you… and how easy it is to project your own fears, needs, and past experiences onto them without even realizing it. We get into mismatch, anxiety, and those moments where you find yourself thinking, “They need this,” when really… it's something you needed. Eli breaks down what it actually means to be a secure base for your kids. Not perfect, but steady. Being able to hold their emotions without needing to fix them. And how the real work of parenting is learning how to tolerate our own feelings so we don't hand them off to our children. If you've ever wondered, “Am I messing them up?” or felt that pull between wanting to protect your child and needing to let them be who they are… this episode is for you.

How can we better incorporate prophetic messages in our lives, while also using them to bless the lives of those we love? In this episode, Scott C. Esplin, dean of Religious Education at BYU, discusses his article "Department and Individual Efforts to Amplify Prophetic Messages," coauthored with Brad Streeter, Rory Bigelow, Aaron Shumway, and David Peck. Drawing on a panel presentation from the 2024 Church Educational System Religious Educators Conference, Dean Esplin explores how religious educators can more faithfully emphasize and transmit the teachings of living prophets. Responding to counsel from Elder Clark G. Gilbert, the panel framed gospel teaching through the metaphor of an amplifier, namely prophetic messages serve as the input, educators function as the amplifier, and students receive the output. Further, Dean Esplin explains that prophets teach with clarity, repetition, and inspired emphasis, centering their messages on Jesus Christ, covenant belonging, and revealed priorities for our time. Ultimately, gospel teachers succeed when they faithfully proclaim the Lord's words and invite learners, through the Spirit, to hear and act.   Publications: "Department and Individual Efforts to Amplify Prophetic Messages," with Brad Streeter, Rory Bigelow, Aaron Shumway, and David Peck, Religious Educator, 25.3 (2024) Raising the Standard of Truth: Exploring the History and Teachings of the Early Restoration, Religious Studies Center (2020) The Voice of My Servants: Apostolic Messages on Teaching, Learning, and Scripture, Religious Studies Center (2010) Elder Clark G.

Norman Lewis, who died in 2003 at the age of 95, was one of the twentieth century's most adventurous travellers and one of its most brilliant and compelling writers. He was also prolific, producing fifteen novels, twenty highly praised travel books and hundreds of influential newspaper articles.So why isn't he better-known today? The Slightly Foxed team put this question to Julian Evans, a distinguished writer and traveller himself, author most recently of Undefeatable: Odessa in Love and War, and of Semi Invisible Man, the definitive biography of Norman Lewis.Julian took his title directly from his subject, who described himself as a ‘semi-invisible man', a watcher from the sidelines who hated personal publicity. It was a lesson Norman learned from a hard childhood in which, as a clever boy growing up in the North London suburbs, he was severely bullied at school. His spiritualist parents, shattered by the deaths of his two older brothers, sent him to stay for some time with his Welsh grandfather and three disturbingly eccentric aunts, an interlude he described in his autobiography Jackdaw Cake.A sharp dresser with a taste for fast cars, motor bikes and guns (though he hated violence) and a man of great charm, Norman survived during the 1930s Depression by running his own successful camera business. But travelling and writing were his passions, and after wartime service as an army Intelligence officer which produced his masterpiece Naples '44, he wove the experiences of his worldwide travels into many other magical books such as A Dragon Apparent, Golden Earth and Voices of the Old Sea. He had an unerring instinct for a story and took risks to give a voice to overlooked communities. His Sunday Times article on the genocide of indigenous tribes in Brazil prompted the founding of Survival International, and The Honoured Society exposed the inner workings of the Mafia in Sicily.Courage, humour, humanity, a distinctive voice and a genius for storytelling – Lewis has them all. ‘One goes on reading page after page as if eating cherries,' wrote one New York Times reviewer. An essential author, we all agreed, for anyone who relishes good writing.The Slightly Foxed Editors' book recommendations were two novels by Joseph O'Connor, My Father's House and The Ghosts of Rome, and Justin Webb's childhood memoir The Gift of a Radio. And for an introduction to Norman Lewis, A Quiet Evening, a selection of his best articles introduced by John Hatt.

Why Isn't TEAM More Popular? Why Do So Many Therapists Resist TEAM CBT? Featuring Matt May, MD Why has the therapeutic community been so resistant to TEAM? This topic has been a concern to me or many years. To be honest, it isn't new. From the very start of cognitive therapy, when I was first learning it, I began modifying it to make it more dynamic, powerful, and effective. But to be honest, I ran into a small (at the time) of Beck loyalists who branded me as an "outsider," something Beck also did when my book, Feeling Good, began to sell and gain popularity. This saddened and frustrated me, and still does, but it had some great spin-off. On my own, my ideas and approaches grew rapidly, and there was no scarcity of young therapists who wanted to work with me.  Below, you will ready Matt's take on why TEAM CBT has not caught on better, followed by my own thoughts. So read, and enjoy, and feel free to share your own thinking on this topic!  On the live podcast, you will hear our lively discussion with our beloved and brilliant host, Rhonda! Thanks for listening today!  Matt, Rhonda, and David Matt's take: Hi David, I'm excited to discuss this topic!  Also, I agree we would be hard-pressed to cover it in an hour, which I believe is the goal for the podcast. So, why isn't TEAM isn't more popular?  My short answer is that TEAM isn't more popular because many therapists don't want to learn it. Those reasons will vary from one person to another and relate to concepts in the model, itself, like 'process resistance' and 'outcome resistance'. While biological factors, like deficits in cognitive flexibility and neuroplasticity, the 'primacy effect' and age-related changes in the brain, combined with the complexity of the TEAM model, will make it near-impossible for some folks to learn it, these barriers are hard to address with our current technology For the purpose of this conversation, it probably makes more sense to consider the psychological barriers therapists have to adopting a model that is scientifically proven to be superior to other approaches.  As a proponent of TEAM and an instructor, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong, in presenting the model and how to get more people excited about learning it.  While more research would help us see the problem more clearly, here are some factors that likely play a role: It seems humans have a hard time adopting new truths, regardless of the field being considered. I believe it was Schopenhauer who said all new truths go through three phases on the way to acceptance:  People will ridicule it, violently oppose it, then say they knew it all along as self-evident! One cause of this is something called the 'primacy effect'. People preferentially retain the first version of a story they hear.  If that information is corrected, later, they will continue to believe the first version they heard.  Biological Factors play a role in learning, including genetics, aging, illness and toxic exposure. 'Switching gears', mentally, is more challenging in people with Schizophrenia and their first-degree relatives, for example.  We know that neuroplasticity is greatest in our youth and declines over our lifespan.  Hence the importance of early education and attending to our overall health, habits, nutrition and medical care.       Socioeconomic and Cultural factors certainly play a role.  This is well documented in the book, 'The Emperor's New Drugs', showing how marketing prevailed over science in promoting "antidepressants".  Many therapists in training tell me, 'oh, they wouldn't let me use a measurement tool where I work'.   Lack of 'Critical Thinking'. What people believe often has nothing to do with what is evidence-based or logical.  Many people reject global warming despite the evidence and prefer to believe in conspiracy theories.  We tend to preferentially believe what someone says if we feel a kinship or loyalty to that person or view them as an 'expert'. People might believe RFK Jr. when he says immunizations are dangerous, for example, because he is in their political party and in a position of power, rather than review the science for themselves. Sunk-Cost Fallacy:  People who have gone through training may have a sense that they have invested too much time and money in their education to discard that model and start afresh. Even if we covered this in just a few minutes, we'd still be up against the hardest part of TEAM to learn, Agenda Setting.   Lots of 'Good Reasons' NOT to have open hands, explore topics paradoxically, and reasons this is challenging, technically. So, yeah, we'll have a lot to discuss and I'm looking forward to that! Sincerely, Matt Here is David's list Taking a page out of your book, Matt, our field is filled with so-called "schools" of therapy that function much like cults, most with a narcissistic "leader" at the helm. In a cult, members are required to be absolutely loyal, and to believe in claims the guru makes that have little or no evidence to back them up. For example, most "schools" of therapy claim to know "the" cause of emotional distress, when the causes of depression and other forms of emotional disturbance are still not known. What I have been suggesting is that we get rid of all the schools of therapy and usher in a new era of science-based, data-driven therapy, which would amount to a revolution in our field. This idea, which I feel passionate about, always meets with stiff and hostel opposition / push back. People just don't want to hear it. TEAM integrates high-level empathy and compassion with firm accountability. Give Stanford story with Sunny Choi, and the statement that "Stanford graduate students and faculty cannot be held accountable for doing psychotherapy homework. The need insight-oriented therapy!" This angrily issued statement conveyed, actually, two cult-like (to my thinking) components: First, we KNOW that patients should not be asked to do psychotherapy homework between sessions. Second, we KNOW that "insight-oriented therapy" is the treatment, without ever evaluating them. TEAM focuses on the here and now, and emphasize a "fractal" approach to treatment, where the same distortions and self-defeating beliefs will be embedded in the patient's negative thoughts and feelings every time she or he is upset. So, when you change the present, you have already changed the past. Whereas most therapies have traditionally (and still) focus on the past, thinking they will find the cause of the patient's distress in some pattern or traumatic event. TEAM focuses on rapid change in the here and now, where as many (most?) therapies focus on talk therapy that unfolds slowly, over a period of months, years, or even more. This DOES provide a powerful financial incentive to do "talk therapy," since this drastically provides financial security and reduces the incredible pressure of constantly have to find new patients. TEAM is very challenging to learn. I have taught over 50,000 therapists in the past 35 years or more, through my supervision of graduate students and psychiatric residents, my weekly training group at Stanford, and my workshops, including intensive, around the US and Canada. And one lesson that has emerged is just how difficult it is to learn TEAM. It requires a high level of intelligence and aptitude, and an unusual dedication and commitment. A great many of the most important tools, like Assessment of Resistance, and Externalization of Voices with the CAT, Self-Defense, and the Acceptance Paradox, are extremely difficult to learn and master.  And most give up, and drop out, in favor of some simpler and more formulaic therapy that is easy to learn. TEAM training requires constant role-playing with specific and immediate feedback on your performance, which includes bot a letter grade (A, B, C, etc.) as well as what you did that was effective, and where you fell short and might need to fine-tune your technique with frequent role reversals, always with feedback. This means lots of criticism along the way, which many (most?) therapists do not like. And although we repeatedly emphasize the philosophy of "joyous failure," and "learning through failure," most people do not buy it emotionally. We all want success and compliments! And NOT the "great death" of the self." The "great death" permeates every phase of the T E A M process. At the T = Testing, you will nearly always learn that your perceptions of your patients feel, and how they feel about you, are way off base. This is critically important, but painful for most, as it is a direct body blow to our "need" to be in the role of "expert." Unlike most other forms of therapy, we require therapists to measure patients' feelings, "in the here and now," at the start and end of every therapy session, using brief, highly reliable scales that assess feelings of depression, suicidal urges, anxiety, anger, and also happiness, as well as relationship satisfaction or discord. These scales function like an "emotional X-ray machine," allowing therapists for the first time to see exactly how effective or ineffective you were in every therapy session. Can you take it? On the positive side, this information will allow you to fine tune the therapy and learn from all of your patients every day. On the negative side, you may not want to have to "see" your failures before your eyes at every session with every patient. David: Tell the story of Tuesday group patient who proudly showed me her depression (and other scores) over the previous year with one of her patients. . . But there was absolutely no improvement in any scale. This was shocking and it made me very sad. My goal is to get dramatic changes within a single session. This "great death" continues during the E phase. TEAM therapists are required to ask "What's my grade on empathy" during the session, and also patients fill out the Empathy Scale and other scales on the "Patient's Evaluation of Therapy Session" right after the session. These scales are set up to make therapist failure common, almost universal at first. A warm and curious dialogue about where the therapist went wrong can revolutionize the therapy and deepen the relationship—quickly. But at what cost to the fragile ego of the insecure shrink? The "great death" continues with A = Paradoxical Agenda Setting. You give up your role as the "expert:" or "helper" or "rescuer," which many therapist refuse to do, and instead "become" the patient's subconscious resistance, arguing, with compassion and logic, that there are many GOOD reasons NOT to change. This freaks therapists out! The "great death" continues with the M = Methods phase of the session. I have developed roughly 140 methods to help people challenge distorted negative thoughts and self-defeating beliefs, and have always taught that no one method will work for everyone who's depressed and anxious. So you will have to try many methods, using the Recovery Circle, to find the one that works for each patient. But these methods are challenging to learn, and most therapists don't seem to have the intelligence, aptitude, or commitment to learning how to use them. Many of the methods and insights of TEAM or subtle nuances that many therapists do not "get" or perhaps do not want to "get." Example, the ACT training group, where someone held up the Feeling Good book and said, "We do not want THIS!" They falsely believed that "leaning into" your feelings is always the answer, and wrong believed that TEAM tried to make people happy all the time—called Toxic Positivity—whereas nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I mentioned healthy negative feelings as early as, I think, Chapter 3 in Feeling Good, "Sadness is Not Depression," where I told the story of an elderly man who died on the Stanford inpatient medical service one evening when I was a medical student. Much of what I teach is shocking and at odds with what people are taught in graduate school. For example, the idea that most people with depression and anxiety—NOT everybody!—can be effectively treated in a single, extended therapy session. Curses! That sounds horrible! And even worse-sounding is the idea that change typically happens suddenly, at the very moment patients stop believing their distorted thoughts. Of course, since most therapists have not seen these phenomena, due perhaps to not having the skill, they insist instead that David is some type of fool, liar, or con artis. Okee Dokee! People—therapists and patients alike—do not "get" a great many of the key ideas in TEAM. For example, let's say the socially anxious patient totally believes the thought, "I shouldn't be so screwed up!" the necessary and sufficient conditions for emotional change. The necessary condition: The Positive Thought (PT) must be 100% true. Rationalizations and half-truths have never helped anybody. The sufficient condition: The PT must drastically reduce your belief in the negative thought. And that's when your negative thoughts will suddenly change. There is even more of what I teach is shocking and at odds with what people believe. For example, 2,000 years ago Epictetus stated they key premise of all the cognitive therapies: "People are disturbed, not by things, or events, but by the views they have of them". And recently, our research team has provided proof of this for the first time, in a study of nearly 7,000 users of our Feeling Great app, using sophisticated statistical modeling techniques. So, the three tenants of cognitive therapies, including TEAM, are: First, you FEEL the way you THINK. In other words, all of your positive and negative feelings result from your thoughts in the here-and-now. Second, depression and anxiety are the world's oldest cons. In other words, your negative thoughts, like "I'm not as good as I should be," or "I'm a hopeless case,"—will be loaded with many of the ten cognitive distortions and are extremely misleading—but you don't realize this when you're upset. You will believe these thoughts with all your heart and feel CERTAIN that they are 100% true. Third, you can CHANGE the way you FEEL. But lots of people will won't have it. They keep insisting on theories that simply aren't true—that emotions cause thoughts, for example—and on methods that may have little or no "punch" above and beyond the placebo effect. Story of Tuesday group student who was scolded in her graduate school counseling program for using the words "thought" or cognition during a therapy session. She was told ONLY to focus on feelings. Many people—therapists and patients alike—strongly believe that therapist empathy is THE key to healing. I have developed many powerful empathy tracking and training methods, but our clinical experience and research has shown, over and over, that therapist empathy is NOT the key to healing. They keys involve using TEAM systematically, and the rapid healing happens during the A and M for the most part. But those are the hard parts! Other problems include the idea that we can convert normal human emotional distress into a series of "mental disorders" that are listed in the DSM, the "bible" of the American Psychiatric Association. In TEAM, we consider each patient's patterns of suffering at the start of therapy, quickly and easily screened by the EASY Diagnostic System, but monitor therapy and patient progress with simple tools that measure feelings, like depression, anxiety, anger, and more. But this is an argument for another day. There's a lot more issues, too. Have I, David, contributed to the resistance to TEAM? Absolutely I have. I plead guilty as accused, and I'm proud of it. I'm totally aware that people—maybe even you— get turned off by criticism, and naturally recoil to protect your "in group," as Matt so clearly pointed out, and maintain loyalty to your "leader," whether it's Freud, Jung, Beck, Hayes, Rogers, or whoever. People are more emotional than rational, and people can be intentionally cruel and deceptive, too, all in the name of what they believe. We see that in our politics these days too. People believe things that are totally false, and wildly implausible, because the group or leader says it's true, it's the way things are. I'm a strong believer that science and truth will win out in the long run. Is this inevitable? I'm not totally confident, and have my doubts, but I am also filled with hope, and look to a future with more therapists like our beloved Matt May, MD and others who have dared to venture in a radically new direction, much like the early astronomers like Galileo and Copernicus who dared to challenge the superstitious teachings of the Catholic church. Those brave and brilliant early souls said, "things are NOT the way you think!" And they used data and mathematical modeling to prove their points. But there were a hundreds years of intimidation and suffering until people finally began to catch on to the then-ridiculous and outrageous ideas that the sun does NOT actually revolve around the earth, and that the earth is NOT the center of the universe. Those NOTS changed history. Can it happen again in the fields of psychiatry and psychotherapy? I hope so, and I've been giving my all, in my teaching, research, clinical work and writing, to make this happen. Sadly, I've fallen far short of my dream, but I'm thankful every day for what I've got, and the wonderful colleagues I'm privileged to know and love. Warmly, David, Matt and Rhonda

A massive shift in global power is underway as Donald Trump launches a bold blockade in the Strait of Hormuz—a move aimed at crippling Iran economically and stopping its nuclear ambitions. With allies like United Arab Emirates and Bahrain stepping up, and global rivals like China watching closely, this moment could redefine the balance of power in the Middle East—and the world. Meanwhile, media figures like Thomas Friedman admit the strategy could succeed… but don't want Trump to benefit politically. And controversy erupts as Pope Leo XIV calls for peace without condemning Iran's actions. Plus—a heartbreaking local tragedy out of Spartanburg raises serious questions about accountability and justice.

How do you trust God when the future feels fragile? In this conversation, Tim and Hilary Timmons share their journey of living with an incurable cancer diagnosis and discovering a deeper, more intentional faith along the way. Rather than shrinking their lives, suffering became an invitation into daily life with Jesus. Together we explore spiritual growth through hardship, the tension of grief and gratitude, marriage under pressure, and what it really means to follow Jesus beyond Sunday church services. This episode speaks to anyone navigating fear of the future, chronic illness, uncertainty, or the quiet longing for more in the Christian life. It’s a conversation about hope, resilience, spiritual formation, and waking up to the presence of God in ordinary moments. If you’re searching for peace in uncertainty or wondering whether joy is possible in the middle of hardship, this episode offers a grounded and honest path forward. _________________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Cardiology Data Pipelines and How to Improve their Clinical Value. Description: Clean, accurate, and timely clinical data is the non-negotiable precursor to AI success. Continuing our focus on data integrity, Beth Friedman, Senior Partner at FINN Partners, met with Diana Sage, Director of Portfolio Management at MURJ, live at HIMSS'26 to discuss the evolving landscape of clinical information. From the lessons of early EHR adoptions to the current data deluge produced by Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs), this episode explores the essential intersection of cardiology clinics and cardiology data integration. Sage also reflects on key takeaways from Dr. Mehmet Oz's HIMSS'26 keynote, specifically addressing the technological fight against the nation's leading killer: heart disease. Inside the episode Sage and Friedman discuss the CIED data challenge, bridging the gap between IT and clinicians, and simplifying workflows for cardiac arrhythmia professionals. Care teams have always deserved tools that reduce cognitive load, a truth that remains as vital today as it was during the first EHR implementations. Listen to this episode to learn how stakeholders across the cardiology continuum are securing the precise data they need to improve patient outcomes despite persistent interoperability hurdles.

In this deeply personal and transformational episode, Ibrahim shares a raw testimony of a season marked by confusion, pain, and the exhausting pursuit of trying to be “good enough” for God.After giving his all—serving, praying, sacrificing—he found himself questioning everything when life began to fall apart. Voices around him labeled his struggles as punishment, failure, and proof that something was wrong. And slowly, he began to believe it.But in a quiet, intimate moment with God, everything changed.Through a simple song he wrote in his lowest place, Ibrahim encountered a truth that would redefine his entire life:“Give up the habit of trying to be lovable… because you are enough.”This episode is an invitation to step out of performance, out of fear, out of striving—and into the reality of God's unconditional love.You will discover:Why trying to earn God's love leads to exhaustion and frustrationThe difference between serving God from acceptance vs. striving for acceptanceHow misunderstanding God's love distorts your relationship with HimWhy you don't give, pray, or worship to be loved—but because you already areHow grace begins to transform your life the moment you stop trying to be “enough”This message will confront deeply rooted beliefs and awaken you to a liberating truth:You are not becoming enough. You already are—because of Jesus.If you've ever felt unworthy, stuck in cycles, or distant from God… this episode is for you.Let this truth settle in your heart:God is not asking you to qualify for His love. He is asking you to receive it.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the attacks on President Trump from the Woke Reich Neo-fascists are dispiriting, divisive, and harmful to the country and the conservative movement, potentially undermining Republican chances in midterm elections by aiding the left, spreading conspiracy theories, and diverting focus from unity and the agenda. The President is acting in the country's best interest despite facing significant opposition and personal cost. Compare that with politicians and commentators who accuse him of profiting from their positions or undermining the movement. Also, Trump is confronting the Iran nuclear enrichment issue, he's ending the blackmail, and is stopping funding of terrorism after decades of inaction. A nuclear-armed Iran would dominate the region, threaten global oil supplies, and endanger millions of Americans as suicide bombers with nuclear weapons and Trump's dealing with it. The Iranian regime are dead men walking and the negotiations are about deciding whether to resuscitate it or force its surrender. Later, Rep Ro Khanna has emerged as the top-performing congressional stock trader in AI-related investments, delivering a 112.1% excess return over the S&P 500. Will he explain this extraordinary profit, that even Nancy Pelosi couldn't pull off.  Afterward, the total reported government national debt stands at $39 trillion, though unfunded entitlements push the real figure closer to $300 trillion, with interest payments reaching nearly $530 billion in the first six months of the fiscal year and projected to exceed $1 trillion annually. Trump is trying to address the debt crisis but Democrats ignore it and prioritize spending, borrowing, and attempts to remove Trump from office rather than fiscal responsibility. Finally, Buck Sexton calls in to discuss his new book, Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You. Learn more about your ad choices.

A four-year-old girl disappears from a small Tennessee town, and almost instantly, fear ripples through the community. Her family pleads for answers. Her neighbors rally around them. People search, pray, and hold onto hope that she'll be found safe. But then, just when it seems the case couldn't get more tragic, it takes a turn so shocking it changes everything. Marlena Danyele Childress was just 4 years old when she vanished on April 16, 1987, from Union City, Tennessee, where she was last seen playing in the front yard of her family's home. She was 4 feet tall, weighed about 38 pounds, and had light brown hair and blue or hazel eyes. Her ears were pierced, and she had silver or stainless-steel caps on her top and bottom front teeth. The day she disappeared, Marlena was wearing a purple and white checked shirt with lace trim, light purple pants, and pink jelly-style shoes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Union City Police Department at 731-885-1515.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're talking about the kids who often get missed. The ones who look fine on the outside, hold it together at school, and then unravel at home. The kids whose feeding struggles, big reactions, sensory needs, or shutdowns can get mistaken for defiance when what's really happening is so much more nuanced. In this episode, I'm joined by Polina Shkadron, and we're digging into what it looks like to truly support neurodivergent kids through the lens of relationship, regulation, and trust. We talk about feeding challenges, masking, sensory differences, executive functioning, and why believing the child's experience changes everything. This conversation hit home for me as a parent, because so much of this is about shifting out of “How do I make this behavior stop?” and into “What is this child telling me about their experience?” And that shift matters at home, in classrooms, and in every relationship we have with kids. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Host Jo Reed is joined by Kirkus fiction editor Laurie Muchnick for a deep dive into Rachel Reid's six-book Game Changers series. The basis for the HBO sensation Heated Rivalry, the books are a blend of pro hockey, queer romance, and unapologetic “spice.” The conversation zeroes in on two key audiobooks—Game Changer, read by Tor Thom, and The Long Game, read by Cooper North—highlighting how each narrator shapes character, tone, and emotional depth in very different ways. Along the way, Jo and Laurie consider what these romances promise (yes, a happily-ever-after), what they explore (from homophobia in sports to mental health), and how listening—especially to scenes of intimacy—changes the experience. A lively look at a very hot series—where performance shapes the story as much as the writing, and the chemistry comes through loud and clear.   Audiobooks Discussed: Game Changer by Rachel Reid, read by Tor Thom (Tantor Media) The Long Game by Rachel Reid, read by Cooper North (Harlequin Audio)   Other audiobooks in the Game Changers series by Rachel Reid:  Heated Rivalry and Tough Guy, read by Tor Thom (Tantor Media) Common Goal and Role Model, read by Cooper North (Harlequin Audio) Learn more about your ad choices.

Every summer, the family gathered in a large beach house—multiple floors, packed with relatives, constant movement, and the kind of noise you'd expect with that many people under one roof.Which is why, at first, nothing seemed out of place. Voices carried through the house late at night. Doors opened and closed. It always sounded like someone had just come in or moved from one room to another.Until they started checking. Each time, the rooms were empty. Everyone accounted for. No one awake, no one moving, no explanation for what they were hearing.It happened more than once, to more than one person. And what made it unsettling wasn't the house itself—it never felt threatening. It was the way it sounded like someone was always there… even when it shouldn't have been.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #GhostStory #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #CreepyStories #Unexplained #HauntedVacation #ScaryStories Love real ghost stories?

Every cult case reaches a point where the same question surfaces: when parents won't protect their children, when police ask questions and accept lies, when a community closes ranks around a predator — who steps in? In the Bateman case, the answer is two civilians who had no obligation to act and every reason not to.Christine Marie and Tolga Katas moved to Short Creek to help a broken community. They ended up inside the inner circle of the man breaking it further. Christine ran a nonprofit called Voices for Dignity. Tolga was filming a documentary. When Bateman rose and started collecting wives — including children — they pivoted from community support to covert documentation. They captured conversations, recorded daily life inside his compound, and gathered testimony from women who were beginning to speak about what was happening behind closed doors.The pivotal moment came when Bateman sat Christine in his Bentley and described the "Atonement" — the sexual acts he was orchestrating with adults and children — as if it were church business. She called her law enforcement contact and said: "I got the bombshell you've been waiting for." That recording, and the hundreds of hours of footage Tolga forwarded to the FBI, became foundational evidence in the federal case.This is the episode that connects directly to the Netflix docuseries Trust Me: The False Prophet, built from Christine and Tolga's footage. But we go beyond the documentary into the ethical complexity of what they did — the relationships they built under false pretenses, the women who trusted them and are now in prison, and the daily calculation Christine made between the evidence she was gathering and the safety of her own children living in the same community.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

TRN Podcast Nick Estes live in conversation with Kim TallBear about the conference they organized,  Holding Our Ground: Voices and Strategies Against Self-Indigenization.  You can watch the individual panels that were livestreamed  on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWiQX270BMoLRv25dDskRfsJ2pptPf3Z Conference description: "This two-day, hybrid symposium will convene leading experts, community members, and "first responders" to the global issue of self-Indigenization, particularly in the form of "Indigenous ethnic fraud," or "pretendianism," as it is referred to in North America. The symposium will be held in Minneapolis, on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people, who were imprisoned and eventually exiled in 1863 to aid settler appropriation of "Minnesota," a word also taken from the Dakota. On top of seizing land, US citizens have for centuries "played Indian" via sports mascots and appropriating Native nation names and iconography in scouting and in industries including the military. In the twenty-first century, we see ballooning numbers of US citizens make mythological claims to belong to Native lineages and nations. Some capitalize on those claims to appropriate Indigenous resources and opportunities, and to seize governance of institutions. We see an obviously violent example of self-Indigenization in the Department of "Homeland Security" whose agents seize governance of these lands, terrorize, imprison, and threaten to exile. As multiple forms of self-Indigenization converge, not all are grasped as violent, yet they combine to further colonial extraction. Extractive self-Indigenization, including Indigenous ethnic fraud, not only targets American Indians, but also First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in Canada; and global Indigenous communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, and elsewhere. This symposium will bring participants together to engage in critical discussions, learn from one another, and discuss actionable strategies to disrupt this global problem."

If you've ever walked into a room and felt the tension before anyone spoke, or made a decision you knew was right but couldn't logically explain, you already know what we're talking about. For years, I kept my own spiritual side locked away, afraid it didn't belong in the professional world. Michele Phillips not only lived that split—she figured out how to heal it. In this conversation, we get into the concrete science behind your energy, why your “gut” is more reliable than your resume, and the simple shift that turns a room of skeptics into believers.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the war against the Iranian regime, though only a few weeks old, is going very well. Voices of despair—some genuine, many contrived—are widespread but do not reflect broad reality. The President's base remains solidly supportive. Opposition comes loudly from Democrats, Woke Reich isolationists and a public heavily influenced by uniformly negative media coverage and social media operations. Premature cessation of this war would be devastating, allowing the regime to rebuild with aid from China, Russia, and North Korea, delivering a major victory to the Axis of Evil. The U.S. needs to stay the course. A premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration's hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. President Donald Trump is trying to take the reins with an executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship only to those born here to actual citizens or legal permanent residents. This isn't just a legal matter; it has profound implications for our elections. Democrats see an opportunity here, they're ready to exploit our immigration system to pad their voter rolls. In addition, one of the notable trends surrounding birthright citizenship involves Chinese nationals who are increasingly using this provision to secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Peter Schweizer describes this as a phenomenon occurring on an industrial scale. Such a trend raises pressing concerns about national security and the long-term consequences for American institutions. Also, Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared the radicalism of Iran to the MAGA movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
