The message was delivered on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Chaplain Devin Moss, Guest Speaker. Description: What does it mean when a Humanist chaplain becomes the last person a death-row inmate chooses to face the end with? What kind of connection forms when belief isn't shared, but mortality is? In that charged space, compassion stops being gentle. It turns into something unmistakably real. About the Speaker: Devin Moss is a Humanist Chaplain and Webby Award-winning storyteller unwavering in his pursuit to relate stories that connect us to our humanity. A natural explorer, he uses playful inquisition to examine the complexity of the human condition and the intrinsic meaning of life. Moss maintains an interdisciplinary practice of storytelling, street philosophy, and practical altruism. In 2015, Moss created The Adventures of Memento Mori podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adventures-of-memento-mori/id1061189831). The consequence of this deep meditation on impermanence was life-changing. Uncertain of what happens after we die, Moss has dedicated his life to the positive changes that can happen while we're still alive.

Can a single conversation help rewrite centuries of racial trauma? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with award-winning podcaster Dominic Lawson to explore how America's racial wounds continue to shape our collective mental health — and what it takes to begin healing. From the generational echoes of slavery to the modern-day silencing of diversity and inclusion, Dominic breaks down why talking about race isn't “divisive” — it's essential. This candid, often uncomfortable, deeply human conversation shows that connection begins when we listen, show up, and see each other fully — no assumptions, no defensiveness, just honesty. Using vivid analogies (like concert tickets and cookouts), they discuss racism and racial trauma in approachable ways. Listeners will learn: why racial trauma still impacts communities today how privilege is better understood through access, not advantage how personal conversations can bridge racial divides practical ways to “do the work” without causing harm or overstepping If you've ever wondered how to talk about race — or where to even start — this episode is your invitation. Our guest, Dominic Lawson, is a 24x award-winning podcast host, producer, and editor based in Memphis, Tennessee. A U.S. Army veteran, he studied business administration at National American University before discovering his passion for podcasting in 2016. That year, he launched "The Startup Life Podcast,” providing listeners with insights into building businesses and advancing in their careers. Throughout the show's run, Lawson interviewed notable figures such as Marc Randolph, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, and Tom Golisano, founder and chairman of Paychex. In 2021, Lawson joined Meadows Behavioral Healthcare as a podcast producer, editor, and host. He took the helm of the "Beyond Theory" podcast, facilitating in-depth conversations with experts in mental health and addiction recovery. His innovative approach led to the launch of "Recovery Replay" in April 2022, a groundbreaking podcast that chronicles personal recovery stories from three distinct perspectives. Demonstrating his versatility, Lawson introduced the "Black Is America" podcast on February 1, 2022, shedding light on lesser-known African American figures and narratives. The podcast garnered significant acclaim, earning multiple awards, including the 2023 Webby Award for Best Podcast-Individual Episode. Lawson's work has been recognized with numerous accolades and in recognition of his contributions to the industry, Lawson became a member of the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts in November 2022. He has shared his expertise at events such as SXSW, Podcast Movement, and the University of Memphis. Beyond his professional endeavors, Lawson is dedicated to mentoring emerging podcasters, offering guidance on content creation and storytelling. He emphasizes the importance of meticulous attention to detail, advocating for the "2/3 minute" rule to maintain listener engagement. Outside of podcasting, Lawson enjoys spending time with his family, playing video games, watching movies — particularly Marvel and Hindi films — and exploring new podcast concepts. His commitment to storytelling and excellence continues to inspire and inform audiences, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in the podcasting community.

When his filmmaking career stalled during the pandemic, Toby Lockerbie turned to the one place that had never stopped inspiring him: the Universe. With no background in visual effects, he taught himself the tools needed to transform complex space science into cinematic stories using everyday objects and beautifully crafted visuals to make the Cosmos feel human. His channel, Epic Spaceman, now reaches millions and has earned multiple Webby Awards for its innovative approach to visualizing scale, awe, and accessible science. This week on Planetary Radio, Toby joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to discuss the creation of Epic Spaceman, how visual metaphors can change how we understand the Universe, and why awe remains one of the most powerful tools for science communication. Then we welcome Bruce Betts back for What’s Up, where we reflect on the end of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Akatsuki mission to Venus.

In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, the Webby Award winning podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, dares to listen instead.What began as a documentary investigation into the remarkable telepathic abilities of non-speaking individuals with autism has expanded into a global exploration of consciousness itself – the science behind it, the mysteries within it, and the lived experiences that refuse to be ignored.In Season One, non-speaking autistic individuals revealed striking abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary phenomena that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.Most people do not live at the extremes of blind belief or hard-nosed skepticism and nobody wants to be fooled in either direction. Award-winning filmmaker Ky Dickens is your host in this paradigm-shifting series that navigates the space between proof and possibility, where transparency, curiosity, and open-minded skepticism meet to help listeners uncover answers to the mysteries that science hasn't fully explained. What have we dismissed that may be true? Is consciousness something we access, or is it bound to the brain? Does it survive death? Can it connect across time and space? And what might it mean for all of us?Step inside a conversation that sits between science and mystery, skepticism and wonder. This is The Telepathy Tapes.BioKy Dickens is an award-winning filmmaker celebrated for her transformative documentaries that tackle complex social issues, influence public policy, and ignite cultural change.

Send us a textTheater #183: Poetry on the Menu Poetry on the Menu​​​ In January 1967, writer/participatory journalist George Plimpton dreamed up a publicity stunt for heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. He arranged for him to meet Marianne Moore, decorated American poetess – a showman who creates doggerel rhymes, together with one of the finest true poets in the history of the English language. The pair couldn't be more opposite – He a gigantic, athletic man of color, at his physicalpeak, age 25, not formally educated, a Muslim, loud, charismatic, a showman with the burgeoning edge for social causes and advocacy; She, elderly, age 80, pasty white, doggedly Presbyterian, incredibly well educated, shy, frail and a kind of dowager spinster. Ali's poems, so called, which predicted his fights, were little more than expanded limericks. Moore's balletic verses and images won her the Pulitzer Prize, the National Medal in Literature and almost the Nobel Prize. Theirhost that day, Toots Shor, was a rough New York man of Jewish descent, who rubbed elbows, hosted, drank with, and incurred the wrath of entertainment giants of the first two-thirds of the 20th Century: Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe, etc. The meeting only lasted a few minutes and produced a short poem, “On the annihilation of Ernie Terrell,” Ali's next title foe. The playwright has expanded the meeting in a deeper way, as a one-act play, using snippets ofMoore's poetry to frame the time, Ali's immediate and lasting appeal through his pithy quotes uttered over two decades, and foreshadowing his thoughtful future self.Bernadette Armstrong directs a cast that includes Omari Williams as Muhammad Ali,  Anne Cooper as Marianne Moore, Gary Lamb as Toots Shor, and Justice Davis as Kandu.James Anthony Merolla is the playwright.

"I can't say that in 34 years I have enjoyed my life in the way that I do now. That is the shift. That's the shift post-Hoffman. It's the shift of doing this work. It's the shift of my life." Six months before Madison Utendahl arrived at the Hoffman Process, she closed her business. The immediate question that came to her in the wake of closing it was, Who am I without this job? She'd realized that her company and her work had become part of her identity. Feeling a complete disconnect from herself without this company she'd worked so hard to build, Madison realized she needed to do something different. Therapy, something she'd done a lot of, wasn't going to cut it. She needed a serious change. She turned to Hoffman. In this engaging and spirited conversation, Madison leads us through the before, during, and after periods of her Hoffman Process experience. As we listen in, we're able to glimpse not only her journey, but some of the Process journey itself as seen through Madison's eyes. One of the significant negative patterns that Madison transformed was "control," one that plagues so many of us. In her brilliant words, she shares the big Aha! she had behind the transformation of this pattern, wisdom that's true for many patterns. Madison explains, "I learned at Hoffman that control was a survival instinct. If it was a survival instinct that meant I could unlearn it. ... I learned that young Madison, to no fault of her own, developed control to deal with her childhood."  A major takeaway from Madison's Process transformation is the realization that the Universe, or whatever you want to call it, has your back. As she says, "the unlock for me, post-Hoffman, is like realizing that God, the universe, whomever, has your back." So, go enjoy your life! More about Madison Utendahl: Madison Utendahl is a multi-hyphenate: founder, CCO, writer, and creative director who, above all, is tired of faking fine. She's the Founder of Utendahl Creative, a Brooklyn-based creative agency that has built brands for a lot of cool people. She's also the creator of BURNT, her popular Substack where she writes about burnout with equal parts humor and truth-telling. Madison is a two-time Webby Award winner, AdWeek 100, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and has been on the founding teams of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Refinery29's 29Rooms, and Museum of Ice Cream. These days, she's less about chasing accolades and more about dismantling hustle culture's nonsense, one candid essay, brand, or conversation at a time. She lives in New York City with her husband, two dogs, and a cat who runs the household. Follow Madison on Instagram. Read her writing at Burnt on Substack. Find out more at madisonutendahl.com.

When Texas passed its six-week abortion ban in 2021 and Roe v. Wade was overturned, some local abortion clinics considered moving to the neighboring state of New Mexico to grant abortion and female care access to women from both states. However, some residents in New Mexico opposed it. Now, Texas has passed a law further restricting access to abortion by targeting abortion pills, and its measures are also affecting eastern New Mexico. In this episode, we travel to New Mexico to meet Latinas and Latinos who have mobilized to protect abortion access there, while others are trying to revive an obscure law from the 19th-century to stop clinics from opening. This story from 2024 recently won a Webby Award.

Kendric Tonn is a painter. He paints. Not houses. Oil painting. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I talk with Kendric about classical painting, Florence (the city, not my mother), El Museo del Prado, art collecting, and how he sees the world as a painter vs how I see the world as a comedian. Kendric gives a helpful tip on how to appreciate a Mark Rothko painting: Understand them, in a sense, as landscapes that you can project yourself into. You can experience Rothkos as emotional landscapes. And it turns out you don't need to be a millionaire to start collecting art. Kendric offers some great advice on how to get started. (It also works as really good dating advice.) If you'd like to buy Kendric's work, reach out to him.

This week's episode is a collaboration with comedian Michael Regilio, host of Regilio v Everything. We talk about being dumb, young, and punk—which for Michael meant being a young Republican in high school. I take a trip down memory lane of that time I was cancelled in Dallas. And Michael shares with me all the insane things I had no idea were happening in the world. Did Michael scare me? Yes. But I'm still hopeful for the future. And I'm looking forward to Michael's forthcoming comedy special.

Today I'm joined by The Radicalist David Josef Volodzko, news editor and senior writer at The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate your money to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker's racist staff writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I'm trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It's not working. So here's my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank Third Way, Democrats should stop using. I'm going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.

The Free Press's Lucy Biggers went from climate-crisis influencer to climate-alarm denier. I have no clue how big this episode's carbon footprint is, but it's worth all the coal we burned to make it happen. Lucy and I talk about her beginnings at NowThis, why climate change doesn't scare us anymore, hipsters bringing back dung stoves, and how all that money celebrities raised to aid the victims of the California fires might as well have burned up.

Today's episode starts out on a disappointing note. My guest Rian Stone, video essayist and author of the novels Softbone: Down and Out in New Kowloon and The Dog Walker, thought he was coming on to talk to his professional-wrestling hero, “Lightning” Lou Perez. I'm sorry I had to break the kid's heart—I am not that Puerto Rican guy—but I think I made up it up to Rian. We talked about culture as a weapon (see Jackson Pollock and Martha Graham); what it's like to host a stand-up show with Bill Burr in the lineup; my good friend and Ski School alum Dean Cameron; and why Rian (and you) should see The Naked Gun reboot. Turns out, Rian and I are a rare breed: We like things. And we want to get back to making things that are fun and seeing things made that are fun too.
