"Love feedback, hate feedback, feel sort of somewhere in the middle, it still creates this sense of anxiety for everyone around." Organizational psychologist Becky Westwood is an expert in social anxiety at work. And that gives her a unique persepctive on the situation guaranteed to created anxiety in ALL of us: giving and receiving feedback.  In her book Can I Offer You Something? Expert Ways to Overcome the Horrors of Organizational Feedback, she invites us to reject the grim reality of most workplace feedback processes and return to the original sense of the word: nourishment. It's refreshingly human, and might just save you some lost sleep, not to mention relationships.  This book was named Short Business Book of the Year, and we talk about what length is the right length for a book, and how the answers come as you write, not before you start. So start. 

The latest developments in the Nancy Guthrie case: a new message sent to a Tucson TV station, FBI agents swarming her home, and a key detail that may matter more than people realize — Nest cameras don’t retain video without a paid subscription. Reporter Michael Monks joins the show with details on the deadly Westwood crash, where a 92-year-old woman drove into a 99 Ranch grocery store, killing three people. A wild weather split across the country: Yorba Linda becomes the hottest city in the U.S. at 88 degrees, while Maine shivers as the coldest. And a chilling reminder of how random violence can be: a Sunland grandfather and his 10-year-old granddaughter were stabbed while walking to school. The suspect has now been arrested.

A tragic and shocking incident in Westwood, where a woman drove into a Ranch 99 grocery store, killing three people and injuring six others. Authorities continue to investigate what led to the deadly crash. Some unexpected good news ahead of the big game: Super Bowl snack prices are dropping, making it a little cheaper to host your watch party this year. A quick spotlight on the Gary & Shannon AI promo, blending tech and talk in true KFI style. And to close on a lighter note, a love letter to the audience — KFI listeners really are the best.

Gary and Shannon open the show with a behind-the-scenes look at the team that keeps everything running before diving into the Winter Olympics and the rhythm dance ice skating highlights so far. They also question how a 92-year-old ended up driving a car into a grocery store in Westwood. NewsNation Correspondent Nancy Loo joins to share the latest on the Nancy Guthrie missing persons case, including the demand letter and the looming Monday deadline. From there, they break down the launch of TrumpRx.gov and what it could mean for drug prices and accessibility. They close out the hour with a Super Bowl breakdown by the numbers: $10 million for a 30-second ad, $1.76 billion in legal bets, and tickets starting at $6,000.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Everyday Joy Podcast, Ash and Kate unpack a powerful truth: the goal of the Christian life isn’t behaviour change—it’s loving union with God, and Christ-likeness flows from there. They talk about how easy it is to flip the order—trying to “do better” before we simply be with Him—and why perseverance, faithfulness, and daily connection with Jesus shape us more than any self-improvement plan ever could. Reflecting on Hebrews 12:1, they explore what it means to throw off what hinders us, deal honestly with sin, and fix our eyes on Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith. With real-life stories about goals, spiritual conversations, and learning to share faith naturally, this episode is an encouraging reminder that transformation doesn’t start with striving—it starts with abiding. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “doing” and “being,” this conversation will help you return to the heart of it all: loving God first, and letting everything else follow.

Drawing from Proverbs 12:25 – “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up” – Ash and Kate unpack how a gentle, compassionate approach—both toward ourselves and others—can lighten the load of heavy hearts. They discuss practical ways to handle stress, lean on God, and encourage others even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating a season of anxiety, returning to life after a challenging time, or simply want to live out your faith more faithfully day by day, this episode is a reminder that every small step of kindness and faithfulness matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this sums up the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) Even when we walk with God daily, frustration, anger, and disappointment can surface. How do we respond in those moments? How do we speak, act, and treat others—especially when no one is watching?

TCW Podcast Episode 251 - Virgin Games   As a companion piece to our Mastertronic episode, we look at the rise and fall of Virgin Games. Beginning with Richard Branson's mail-order record business and the success of Virgin Records, the company expanded into games under executive Nick Alexander, whose interest in the industry led to the creation of a Virgin gaming subsidiary. Early successes included the Dan Dare series and computer adaptations of board games. In 1987 Virgin took a stake in Mastertronic, and in 1988 fully acquired the company, gaining both its budget software business and its role in the SEGA Master System launch. From there Virgin Games developed into two distinct arms. In Europe, the company focused on distribution, bringing major publishers and licenses into the region. In the United States, Virgin built on Mastertronic's development studio, centering on strong talent and overlooked licenses, producing titles such as Spot, Cool Spot, Global Gladiators, and later major Disney games including Aladdin and The Lion King. On PC, the company found success with The 7th Guest and through the acquisition of Westwood Studios, gaining Command and Conquer. Virgin Games also had a hand in publishing Dune and Dune II. In the mid-1990s the Virgin Group began seeking a buyer, leading to Blockbuster's acquisition of Virgin Interactive, which soon placed the company under Viacom following the Paramount merger. Heavy corporate debt and shifting priorities resulted in the sale of Westwood to Electronic Arts. What remained was largely a European distribution business that later entered an agreement with Interplay and was ultimately acquired by Titus Interactive. After the collapse of the dot-com bubble, mounting debt forced Titus to shutter the company, and in 2005 Virgin Interactive quietly disappeared   TCW 105 - The Big Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-big-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-small-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 026 - The Magnavox Odyssey: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-odyssey/ TCW 027 - The Magnavox Patent Lawsuits: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-patent-lawsuits-friday-september-16-2016-1003-am/ Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Live BBC 1973): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYQYOM66MA Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future (ZX Spectrum): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEDOu5ewIQ Dan Dare II - Mekons` Revenge (ZX Spectrum): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lheo_ao8K4 Dan Dare III - The Escape (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK62NSaE75s Monopoly - Virgin Games (DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un6iagpCwWw Spot - The Video Game (NES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Ezmf6z3kM 7-Up Spot Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubNTMHqz6_c TCW 229 - US Gold: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/us-gold/ TCW 023 - The Complete Tetris Story: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-complete-tetris-story/ Lure of the Temptress (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwSS5zA74jQ Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pr3IsnqxGs Cannon Fodder (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFP8WUrBVHc Previous High Scores C&C Ad: https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolRidiculous/comments/x1k61n/could_you_even_imagine_if_westwood_studios/ Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (NES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_1AGDZiLVY Robin Hood Men in Tights - English Accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9tEH7iWOyk Global Gladiators (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy9_-iEdXAA Cool Spot (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTROI2ODRM4 Aladin (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngqx0rq7ACg The Jungle Book (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BivK2swrtqM Aladin (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9m2gAuWkOY The Lion King (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-U4RObki-k TCW 194 - The 7th Guest: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-7th-guest/ The 7th Guest (PC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Z-Q5KVTyI The Legend of Kyrandia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO6BE4HOjnM TCW 208 - Two Dunes the Battle for Arrakis: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/two-dunes-the-battle-for-arrakis/ TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ TCW 064 - The Rise and Fall of Infogrames Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/rise-and-fall-of-infogrames-part-1/ TCW 065 - The Rise and Fall of Infogrames Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-rise-and-fall-of-infogrames-part-2/   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

RAMS WIN!!! The Rams keep the momentum going, and the playoff buzz is real across LA. Michael Monks joins the show to break down a major LA Metro proposal to connect Westwood and Van Nuys through the Sepulveda Pass, as transit leaders push rail projects forward ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. A wild police pursuit involving a box truck near the LA River grabs attention — plus a reminder as the city prepares for the Olympics: behave. And yes, a nostalgic throwback to Prell and Wella Balsam makes an appearance. And it all comes back to football — the Rams are just one win away from the Big Show.

Then, former NFL Pro and Westwood analyst Derek Rackley stops by to preview the game he will be calling later tonight in 49ers-Seahawks, including why he isn't concerned about Sam Darnold's oblique injury, why the 49ers deserve credit for not using injuries as an excuse, and more!

Back in June, 22-year-old registered nurse Vilma Palacios had just accepted a position at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans when she was arrested by ICE agents. She then spent six months in a detention center, all while family members and immigration advocates called for her release, pointing to her community involvement, lack of a criminal record and commitment to nursing during a time of a nursing shortage. But in late December, she returned to Honduras, a country she had not visited since she left as a child. Palacios joins us to share her story, her experience in detention and why she still has hope.Since May of 2020, WWNO's Rosemary Westwood has been a leading reproductive health care reporter in the U.S. She's broken stories on restricted access to abortion care, rising rates of whooping cough and growing numbers of medications listed as controlled substances.

California’s Prop 50 went to the courts, and federal judges upheld the maps, going against GOP claims that the maps were unconstitutional and racist. The man in the U-Haul truck who plowed through the crowd of people marching in support of Iranian civilians in LA’s Westwood is now speaking out. He claims the protestors attacked him, not the other way around. What’s Merrill’s solution? No more protests! You’re cut off!

Not sure what Wayne ate for breakfast today, but he came out of the gates on an absolute heater. We're talking Fernando Mendoza in the CFP type of heater. Just straight flames. In addition to the semifinal reaction and the obvious lookahead to Monday night's national championship, there are rants about the death of the SEC, capitalism, the over-value of players in the portal, and - you guessed it - what Bob Chesney is doing to re-build the roster in Westwood. Thankfully Phil Steele joins the show to talk some sense into this program with some balanced perspective and opinions on what's coming up next week at Hard Rock. Who does Phil like to win the game, and how does he feel about the over/under? You're going to want to stick around for those picks. Would Miami or Bloomington be a better place to be if you're an Indiana fan next Monday night? Hartzell has a take which, surprisingly, Wayne disagrees with vehemently. And if all that's not enough, there are two special guests who join the show with some natty predictions.

Episode 400: In October 1894, 18-year-old Frank Westwood was shot on the doorstep of his Parkdale home. The killing shocked Toronto and sparked a frantic search for a suspect. Weeks later, a mixed-race tailor named Clara Ford walked into a Toronto police station and was quickly accused of the murder. With no weapon, no motive, and a disputed confession, her trial exposed deep racial bias and divided the city. This episode looks at Clara's life, the investigation that targeted her, and the aftermath of the trial that captivated Canada's largest city.

Flashdance leading man Michael Nouri sits down with Steve Kmetko for a wide-ranging, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about his decades in Hollywood — from Goodbye, Columbus and Flashdance to Broadway, Victor/Victoria, Yellowstone, and beyond. Michael looks back on the night the acting bug bit him in a high school Gilbert & Sullivan production, his early stage days with legends like Julie Harris, and bombing his very first movie line opposite Ali MacGraw in Goodbye, Columbus. He talks about trying to dodge the Vietnam draft, enlisting, and then being honorably discharged because the Army literally couldn't find boots big enough for his size-16 feet. Of course, he dives into Flashdance: the terrible reviews, the electric audience reaction, that rare standing ovation in Westwood, working with director Adrian Lyne, producers Simpson & Bruckheimer, and co-star Jennifer Beals (plus their canine scene partner, Grunt). He explains how the massive success of the film didn't translate into the career momentum he'd hoped for, the movie with William Friedkin that fell apart, and how he ended up in Bay City Blues alongside a then-unknown Sharon Stone instead. Michael also shares powerful stories from touring South Pacific right after 9/11 — including emotional nightly renditions of “God Bless America” with audiences arm-in-arm — and the chance encounter with Blake Edwards that led to him starring opposite Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, complete with a custom song by Henry Mancini. He reflects on aging in Hollywood, evolving from leading man to dads, granddads, and senators, still auditioning for filmmakers like Bradley Cooper, and staying grateful that the phone keeps ringing. Along the way, he remembers working with Sean Connery, F. Murray Abraham, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Kelly Reilly, and even Anna Nicole Smith, plus the life lesson he learned the hard way trying to approach Luciano Pavarotti backstage. He also opens up about political anxiety, the emotional toll of the news cycle, the importance of community, and why he now protects his peace by switching from cable news to TCM. And yes, we meet Charlie, his “heart on four legs,” and hear how daily meditation keeps him grounded after more than five decades in the business. If you love Flashdance, classic Hollywood stories, Broadway memories, and honest talk about surviving and adapting in this business, this episode is a gem.

In this episode of Excess Returns, we sit down with Adrian Helfert of Westwood to discuss how investors should be thinking about portfolio construction in a market shaped by artificial intelligence, high levels of concentration, shifting interest rate dynamics, and evolving economic signals. The conversation covers how AI-driven capital spending is changing return profiles across markets, why traditional investing rules are breaking down, and how investors can balance growth, income, and risk in an uncertain environment. Adrian shares his framework for understanding return drivers, his views on market concentration and valuation, and how to think about diversification, macro risk, and income generation going forward.Main topics covered• How Westwood frames portfolio construction around capital appreciation, income, and event-driven returns• Why AI spending is both a major opportunity and a growing existential risk for large companies• The sustainability of market concentration and what it means for future returns• Whether higher interest rates really hurt growth stocks the way investors expect• How massive data center and AI capital expenditures could translate into productivity gains• The case for market broadening beyond the Magnificent Seven• Why traditional recession indicators have failed in recent cycles• How inflation, labor markets, and Federal Reserve policy interact today• Rethinking the classic 60/40 portfolio and the role of private markets• Using covered calls and active income strategies to manage risk and generate yieldTimestamps00:00 Introduction and near-term opportunities versus long-term risk02:40 Capital appreciation, income, and event-driven investing framework06:30 Have markets structurally changed to support higher returns09:30 Intangible assets, AI, and margin expansion10:20 The scale of AI and data center capital spending13:00 Productivity gains and return on investment from AI16:00 AI as both opportunity and risk for companies19:30 Market concentration and diversification concerns23:30 Will market leadership eventually broaden25:30 Growth stocks, duration, and interest rates29:30 International diversification and global investing33:30 Why recession indicators have failed39:00 Inflation outlook and Federal Reserve policy46:00 Rethinking the 60/40 portfolio53:00 Enhanced income strategies and covered calls59:00 One investing belief most peers disagree with

Elizabeth Westwood in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://www.theguntonarms.co.uk/new-years-eve-2025/ Named after the sci-fi film Westworld, it was formed in 1986 by former Generation X guitarist Bob "Derwood" Andrews and American vocalist Elizabeth Westwood. The line up was completed by drummer Nick Burton. Before the recording and release of their third and final album, Burton left the band and was replaced by Gary "Gaz" Young and Tracey "T.J." O'Conner, making them a quartet. Visually the band were styled in a way reminiscent of comic book art and musically they were a blend of classic 1950s rock and roll, glam and punk, updated with beatboxes and sequencer. They had an early success with their debut single "Sonic Boom Boy", which reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1987, and was used in Sony's advertisements. They had one more Top 40 hit, "Ba-Na-Na-Bam-Boo" which reached #37 in May the same year. They released three albums before moving to the Arizona desert in the US in 1992 to form the band Moondogg.

„Stay Forever Spielt“ ist unser beliebtestes Format bei den Unterstützern auf Steady/Patreon, eine Art Audio-Let's Play. Das Konzept geht so: Wir versuchen, separat von einander ein Spiel zu lösen, idealerweise ein schwieriges, ein sperriges. Ohne Lösung oder Hilfe von außen. Wir spielen dazu immer ein Stück weit, zeichnen Karten und machen uns Notizen – und führen dann ein Gespräch über unseren Fortschritt, unser Erlebnisse und Erkenntnisse als Podcast. Danach spielen wir weiter, mit den gemeinsamen erarbeiteten Erkenntnissen als Hilfestellung, kommen wieder zusammen und so weiter. So entstehen Staffeln von vier bis zehn Folgen, in der Regel abgeschlossen von einem Interview mit dem Schöpfer des Spiels. Dieses ist der nachbearbeitete Zusammenschnitt einer solchen Staffel, allerdings zeitgemäß mit Kapitelbildern, die die ursprünglichen Folgen nicht hatten. Diesmal geht es um Circuit's Edge. Das ist ein Cyberpunk-Adventure mit Rollenspiel-Elementen, ein früher Titel von Westwood (Kyrandia, Command & Conquer, Lands of Lore), veröffentlicht 1990 für MS-DOS von Infocom (Zork, Planetfall). Das Spiel ist eine Kriminalgeschichte im Unterweltmilieu und basiert auf dem Roman When Gravity Fails von George Alec Effinger. Chris und Gunnar suchen einen Mörder im Auftrag eines lokalen Gangster-Bosses, werden eine Verschwörung verwickelt, setzen sich Chips ein, duellieren sich mit Straßenräubern, horchen Sexarbeiterinnen aus und vieles, vieles mehr. Die aufregende Geschichte trägt das dynamische Duo durch sechs Staffeln, an deren Ende Chris dem Spiel nun wirklich alle Geheimnisse entrissen hat und sogar ein paar Sachen besser wusste als der Entwickler selber. Mit dem haben wir auch gesprochen, Michael Legg heißt er und hat später noch an allen möglichen Spielen von Westwood mitgerbeitet. Das Interview bildet das siebte Kapitel des Podcasts.

The Foosh is back! Following his horrific car accident last August, KFI board op Foosh’s arm is healing, as is nature. LA is getting ready to clean up dangerous, inoperable RVs — if they’re worth under $4,000. Eniola Taiwo, an 8th grader in Connecticut, sent a letter to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce requesting a star on the Walk of Fame for the LAFD. And it worked! Westwood's most hardened criminal has been brought to justice. His crime? Painted over faded crosswalks to make them safer for pedestrians. If you own a cat, there’s a new California law that’s taking away the one thing that’s protected your furniture for decades. Starting Jan. 1, AB 867 comes into effect, banning the practice of declawing cats in the state. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
