https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260206.mp3 Right-click here to download this episode (“Save link as…”). The Nation (2/3/26) This week on CounterSpin: “What do you call a ceasefire agreement under which people keep dying? That is the question the people of Gaza have been asking themselves for the past few months.” And it's the question that kicks off a new issue of The Nation magazine, which they call “A Day for Gaza.” Since a “ceasefire” was declared four months ago, Israel has killed, very conservatively, 420 Palestinians. More than 70,000 overwhelmingly Palestinian people have been reported killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including more than 300 journalists and media workers. This is without mentioning the destruction of more than half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip. The UN has reported Israeli soldiers recording videos in which they mock Palestinians and Palestinian education, before destroying schools and universities. If it ended today, the loss of life, and home, and culture, and history in Palestine would take countless years to reckon, if it could be reckoned at all. But here in the US, we're being told by media that the conflict is winding down, because there's a ceasefire in effect; and we are to interpret all events going forward in those terms. That pretense is mainly expressed through a simple drop in coverage, which by itself says, “Not so much to see here anymore, time to move on.” As an interrogation of and a pushback against the suggestion that because powerful people's words have changed, there is no longer a desperate, attention-worthy crisis in Gaza or for Palestinians, The Nation lifts up the voices of Palestinians themselves, as a kind of intervention into a media conversation that presents Palestinians as subjects—sympathetic or not, depending on the story—more often than as actors, who have the basic right to determine their own future. The issue was edited by writer and translator Rayan El Amine. We hear from him this week on CounterSpin. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260206El-Amine.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260206Banter.mp3
In this episode of the Group Function podcast, host Alan Mead sits down with Dr. Alex Kantor and Dr. Eric Applesies from the Just a Couple of Dentists podcast to unpack the "regular ass dentist" experience of buying, starting, running and selling dental practices! Fresh off their presentation at the 2026 Voices of Dentistry conference, the Eric and Alex (a married couple of dentists) dive into the logistics of optimizing a practice for sale, emphasizing that maximum value is built in the 18 to 24 months before a transition by tightening systems and improving hygiene "show rates." The conversation balances technical advice on EBITDA and overhead reduction with a candid—and occasionally spicy—critique of the post-COVID hygiene labor market, ultimately highlighting how dentists can prepare their businesses for a successful handoff to either a private buyer or a DSO. In their session and conversation with Alan, Dr. Alex Cantor and Dr. Eric Applesies highlighted several key levers to pull when prepping a practice for sale. Their core philosophy is that "a dollar saved is $4 to $6 earned" during a valuation. Key Optimization Strategies The 12-to-24-Month Runway: Valuations are typically based on the last 12 months of profit (EBITDA). To ensure your systems are fully "flushed out" and consistent, start implementing changes 18 to 24 months before you intend to sell. Hygiene "Show Rates": Increasing your show rate from 70% to 90% is considered "low-hanging fruit." Because hygiene has low variable costs (mostly just prophy paste and floss), nearly every dollar of a kept hygiene appointment goes directly to the bottom line, which is then multiplied during a sale. Aggressive Appointment Confirmation: Use automated texts to keep appointments top-of-mind. The "48-Hour Rule": If a patient hasn't confirmed 48 hours out, inform them they will be removed from the schedule. Follow Through: Actually remove unconfirmed patients to give your team two days to fill the spot with someone who wants to be there. Overhead Reduction (The "Spend" Side): Supplies: Move away from the "old school" model of buying through a single rep who brings donuts. Use platforms like Crazy Dental or Net 32 to treat supplies as a commodity and secure the lowest price. Labs: Look for efficiency gains through model-less workflows and digital scanning, which can reduce lab fees and turnaround times. Clinical Extraction: If you want to retire immediately after the sale, stop working clinically one year prior. This proves to a buyer (especially a DSO) that the practice's revenue is sustained by systems and associates, not just your individual production. Know Your "Game": Private Buyer: Better if you want a quick exit (6–12 months) and have a smaller practice. DSO Buyer: Better for high-revenue practices ($5M+ range), but usually requires you to stay on for several years as an associate.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's episode is for the good kids—and the adults they became. I got to sit down with Maggie Nick, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, therapist and founder of Camp Lovable, whose new book, Good Kids: Why You Suffered in Silence and How to Break the Cycle, dives into what it really means to be a “good kid”—and how that label can come with a cost. We explored the nervous system responses behind compliance, how shame shows up for people-pleasers, and what happens when kids feel like they can't have needs. Maggie brings such warmth and clarity to topics like fawning, neuroception, boundaries, and the grief that can come with realizing how early we learned to silence ourselves. We also talk about raising our own kids in this awareness—how to stand beside them, not against them when they struggle—and what it looks like to break the cycle while still parenting with boundaries. If you've ever been the “easy one,” or you're raising a kid who gets praised for never rocking the boat… this one's for you. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Ted Bell interviews a guy named Dick Steele about holding the line with speech. He's also got an uncle named Dong Steele and his father’s name is Tube Steak Steele. Also, flying tricycles.* At the time of producing, we were unaware of a character named “Dick Steele” portrayed by Leslie Nielsen in a detective film from the 90s.

What is the Catholic response to AI? Pope Leo XIV, in his recent message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications, takes a critical look at AI: namely, how it is "encroach[ing] upon the deepest level of communication, that of human relationships." Pope Leo asserts that our faces and voices are sacred, a witness to the unique, singular dignity of each human person. With AI already mimicking persons in social media and through deepfakes, the Pope calls for overcoming the "anthropomorphizing tendencies of AI systems." In this podcast, Marc Barnes and Reuben Slife go line-by-line through the message of Pope Leo, and discuss it's implications for the Catholic approach to AI.

Just in time for KBIS this year, I sat down with Jason McGraw from EmeraldX and Leanne Wood with Flying Camel to talk about the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) to preview the upcoming 2026 event in Orlando. This conversation dives deep into the strategic shifts for this year's show, including the expansion of the floor plan to nearly 1.2 million net square feet and the introduction of a new editorial format for product debuts. A major theme for KBIS 2026 is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the industry. From the dedicated “Technology” track in the Voices from the Industry (VFTI) conference to live panel debates on AI’s role in luxury design, the show is positioning itself as the epicenter for modern design workflows. The team also discusses practical “pro-tips” for navigating the massive Orange County Convention Center, ensuring attendees maximize their time between the West, South, and North halls. You still have time to register and prepare for a groundbreaking event that will shape the way you think about your design business and sharpen your specification skills. And if you are going to the show this year in Orlando, please make sure you stop by the KBIS Podcast Studio and say hello. The KBIS 2026 Footprint: With over 700 exhibitors and 100,000+ expected professionals, Jason McGraw explains the logistical expansion into the Discovery District (located in the Rosen Centre) and how to navigate the skybridges and shuttles. Innovation Hour: Replacing the traditional “Design Bytes,” this new fast-paced “show + tell” session at noon on February 17th allows brands to present tactile stories. The audience will vote live for “Most Innovative” and “Most Unexpected.” AI and Technology: Leanne emphasizes how AI is no longer a “future” concept but a daily tool. This year features a “Technology Activation” and sessions focused on AI-powered customer journeys and smarter design workflows. The Best of KBIS Awards: The awards have expanded to seven categories, including “Sustainable Standout” and “Wellness Trailblazer.” Winners will be announced live on the NEXTStage on February 18th. The KBIS Podcast Studio: Now relocated to the West Hall Lobby, the studio—hosted by Josh—will feature 12 live sessions covering leadership, luxury, and the “business of design.” Wellness & Sustainability: For the first time, these two tracks have been merged into a unified focus, reflecting the interconnected nature of healthy, resilient living environments.

An Interview with Shari Williams, President, Leadership Program of the Rockies The ability to preserve liberty depends on visionary leaders who not only understand America's founding principles, but who are also prepared to put them into practice. Yet there are few opportunities for emerging leaders to form deep connections between these timeless ideas and today's challenges. For more than two decades, the Leadership Program of the Rockies has been meeting that need by educating and training emerging leaders in America's founding principles and equipping them with the skills to influence public policy and culture. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Shari Williams, President of the Leadership Program of the Rockies. Since founding LPR in 2003, she has built it into one of the country's premier leadership development programs, training more than 2,500 alumni who have gone on to serve as elected officials, judges, business and community leaders, and influential voices across Colorado and beyond. With more than 40 years of experience in public policy, political campaigns, and leadership development, Shari has dedicated her career to building what she calls an "Army for Freedom." Topics Discussed on this Episode: What drew Shari to focus on leadership development and why LPR focuses on culture and the way communities think about freedom Why LPR's mission is more important now than ever The transformation participants experience and stories of alumni impact The vision for LPR's Great Lakes expansion What gives Shari hope about preserving American principles for future generations
Why did Henry David Thoreau care so much about pencils—and why did some phone numbers keep ringing long after they were disconnected? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro wander into two stories that shouldn't be connected… but somehow are. First, we look at the surprising industrial legacy of Henry David Thoreau, long before Walden Pond. As a young man working in his family's pencil business, Thoreau applied chemistry, precision, and quiet rebellion to fix America's worst pencils—changing how graphite was processed, how pencils were graded, and why most pencils are still yellow today. It's a story about innovation, independence, and how financial stability made room for deep thinking… and eventually, deliberate living. Then, the episode takes a darker turn. During the 1960s and 70s, people across the U.S. reported receiving phone calls from businesses that had been closed—sometimes for decades. Funeral homes. Pharmacies. Local shops. Callers insisted they had just spoken to someone on the line. Engineers found nothing. Phone companies found no active service. The FCC investigated. No explanation stuck. What emerged instead was something stranger: the idea of telecom afterimages—echoes of human habit lingering in old copper wire. Conversations without ghosts. Voices without intent. Systems that didn't quite know how to forget. This episode explores how infrastructure remembers, how absence isn't always clean, and why the most unsettling stories are often the quietest ones—ordinary conversations that shouldn't exist, but somehow do.

The bond between the two was intense—and before long, strange things began happening inside their home. Voices were heard. Objects moved. Blame was often placed on Robert, though no one else ever saw him act.Over time, stories grew darker. Some believe a malevolent presence attached itself to the doll, one that never left.

With Japanese wrestling having an uncharacteristically quiet week, it's the perfect opportunity for us to take a look back at the best of 2025! Voices of Wrestling just rolled out its 2025 Match of the Year poll (always one of the coolest things the site does every year), and John is joined by four fellow voters: Joshi-ing Around's Tim Hunter, Social Suplex's Chris Whitehead, VOW's Sean Sedor and Brady from, uh, an organic cooking company? Anyway! All five of them go over their own personal ten favorite matches from 2025 in great detail, as it's basically 4+ hours of them raving about what they loved most in wrestling last year (and also throwing some shade about what they didn't love so much- ok, mostly just John does that). Then, as if that wasn't enough 2025 award audio for you, John also recorded 45 minutes of solo audio that's tacked onto the end where they go over their Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards ballot in detail, explaining who they voted and why for Flair/Thesz, Most Outstanding Wrestler, Best Promotion and a whole lot more!Voices of Wrestling 2025 MOTY: https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2025motyJoshi-ing Around podcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/1309343e-3781-4750-9209-4efbc9976ab6Social Suplex newsletter: https://www.socialsuplex.com/newsletter/Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialOur Sponsors:* Sign up and get 10% off at BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOLong before “ghost hunting” had a name, Bruce Halliday was already paying attention.Growing up in a Brooklyn apartment building, Bruce experienced something that stayed with him—a deceased family friend who seemed to linger in the halls, present in a way that felt unmistakably real. It wasn't dramatic or theatrical. It was quiet, personal, and impossible to forget.That early encounter didn't fade with time. Instead, it planted a question that followed him into adulthood: if the dead remain close, how might they communicate? While others dismissed the idea, Bruce kept listening—especially to the sounds buried inside static and radio interference.Years of curiosity and experimentation eventually led to the development of what became known as the ghost box—a device that transformed random frequencies into something far more unsettling. Voices. Responses. Fragments that seemed aware.What began as a childhood encounter became a pursuit that helped reshape paranormal investigation—and how we listen to the unseen.#TheGraveTalks #GhostBox #ParanormalHistory #TrueGhostStories #AfterlifeCommunication #EVP #ParanormalResearch #HauntedBrooklyn #ClassicEpisode #LifeBeyondDeath Love real ghost stories?

In parts of the United States, House Finches overlap with similar-looking Purple Finches. Their distinct songs help us sort them out. House Finch songs are jumbled and have a sharp, buzzy note — especially during the breeding season. Purple Finches' songs, on the other hand, are smoother and lack the buzzy note.This episode is brought to you by Wild Delight Bird Food, which aims to support wild bird populations with clean, nutritious ingredients in every blend.

**Note: As I explain in the introduction to this video, this is a very special episode that consists of two halves featuring three Palestinians in Gaza sharing their stories. It has become more than evident that our racist ruling class and their media warriors are simply refusing to allow anything that humanizes Palestinians in the slightest into the mainstream. It falls to us to help break the narrative blockade on Palestinians and their liberation struggle. I hope to do more of this content in the future, so if you know people in Gaza who want to make their own episodes in this format, reach out to me, and we can work with Lina to get it translated into English and posted. Maybe if we have enough episodes, we can spin it off into its own channel** A very special episode featuring my friends Mohammed and Mahmoud, who both share their stories of the early days of the genocide and some of their memories of the last two years.

We are going to step back to the mid 1990s in Tucson, Arizona, to examine two cases that have haunted the city's south side for three decades. In December 1994, 6-year-old Lizette went missing from her apartment complex. About 13 months later, 7-year-old Karen Grajeda went missing from her apartment complex just 8 miles away. On the surface, these might seem like isolated incidents, but as local investigators and the FBI began to look deeper, they discovered a disturbing pattern, and they were soon linked to three additional abductions of young girls in the same area between 1993 and 1994. Anyone with information in either of these cases is asked to call the Tucson Police Department at 520-791-4444. There is a $20,000 reward being offered in each case.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOFor Bryan Meisinger, visiting his grandmother didn't just mean family dinners and familiar routines—it meant sharing space with spirits.Her house was alive with activity. Full-bodied apparitions appeared without warning. Voices whispered through empty rooms. Doors opened on their own as if guided by unseen hands. These weren't rare events or isolated moments of fear—they were part of daily life. Over time, Bryan and his family came to accept the spirits as just another presence in the home, woven into its atmosphere like old furniture or creaking floorboards.Rather than driving him away, these experiences sparked Bryan's fascination with the paranormal. What began as a haunted childhood slowly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of understanding the unseen, eventually leading him into paranormal investigation.On this classic episode of The Grave Talks, Bryan shares his extraordinary journey from growing up in a house filled with ghosts to chasing answers on the other side. This isn't just a ghost story—it's a legacy of spirits, family, and a home that never stood empty.#TheGraveTalks #Ghosts #Hauntings #HauntedHouse #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #LifeWithGhosts #Unexplained #Afterlife #RealHauntings #ParanormalInvestigation Love real ghost stories?

In this episode Alan sits down with Dr. Abe Hoellrich in Scottsdale, Arizona, during the Voices of Dentistry conference! Abe's practice focuses on sedation dentistry in Columbus, Ohio. He offers an insider's perspective on the "turf battles" surrounding anesthesia privileges, weighing the tensions between general dentists, oral surgeons, and medical doctors. The discussion highlights the nuances of patient safety versus access to care, with Abe arguing for the superior safety of reversible IV sedation compared to oral methods and emphasizing the need for stringent training to preserve the future of dental sedation.

For as long as he can remember, the world has never felt empty.As a child, he didn't think of it as fear—just awareness. The sense that silence carried weight. That darkness wasn't just the absence of light. That rooms noticed when you entered them.The nights were worse. Dreams bled into waking moments. Footsteps came from places they shouldn't. Voices tried to form words they didn't quite know how to speak. Sometimes he woke up convinced he was already awake… only to realize something was standing in the doorway.Then it stopped. Years of quiet followed—long enough to believe whatever had been there was gone. Long enough to let his guard down.Until one afternoon, alone in the house, he saw something run across the room that shouldn't have been able to exist at all. This isn't a story about being haunted by a place. It's a story about being noticed.#RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #NightTerrors #ShadowPerson #FalseAwakening #SleepParalysis #ParanormalSensitivity #HauntedChildhood #TrueGhostStory #GiftOrCurse Love real ghost stories?
