Hour 2 (8.31) Mark's still in the boot, which means Bellio's on wheelchair duty — and their first stop is a men's room that can only be described as a hazard zone. It goes exactly how you'd think. Then: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are about to be teammates at the Women's World Cup while the WNBA takes a high-stakes break. Two of the biggest rivals in sports, same locker room. Good luck to everybody involved. Mark went to weather school, and it raises the real question — do weather guys actually hang out? Chuck Street on traffic, Dallas Raines on weather, and an entire industry built on making you excited about clouds. Tropical rain is headed our way for Labor Day, and Mark reminds everyone he was never, not once, wrong about the forecast. Conway's daughter is turning 21 and the family is going to Vegas. Pray for him. Plus: Olivia Rodrigo's new Daisy Chain Fields festival packed 45,000 people into Irvine's Great Park and got rave reviews for what happened on stage. Getting out was a different story — fans say they were stuck in parking lots, walking miles looking for rides, and directing traffic themselves. Rodrigo says she picked the name because a daisy chain is about small pieces linking into something unbreakable. The parking situation did not link. And finally — the worst potholes in Los Angeles. The guys have found them, and they're in Westwood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the DiepCJourney®podcast, we welcome Dr. Ann Chuang, a fellowship‑trained, board‑certified breast surgeon with the Premier Surgical Network in Glen Rock and Westwood, New Jersey. Dr. Chuang specializes in oncoplastic breast surgery, skin‑sparing and nipple‑sparing mastectomies, and hidden‑scar approaches. She joins us to bring clarity to a topic that affects countless breast cancer patients: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). We revisit the landmark Women's Health Initiative of 1991, explore how research has evolved, and discuss what patients and clinicians need to understand today about menopausal hormone therapy after a breast cancer diagnosis. Key Topics Covered Why Women Use HRT We explore the symptoms and quality‑of‑life concerns that lead many women to consider hormone therapy during and after breast cancer treatment. Who Can Safely Take HRT and Who Should Not Dr. Chuang outlines patient profiles, risk factors, and the nuanced decision‑making involved in determining whether HRT is appropriate. Understanding Delivery Methods A clear breakdown of terms like systemic, topical, oral, and transdermal and how each interacts with the body. How Physicians Counsel Patients on HRT Dr. Chuang shares how she approaches conversations with patients who ask whether HRT is safe for them, and what questions patients should bring to their healthcare team. Variability in Physician Messaging We discuss how guidance may differ between gynecologic oncologists, primary care physicians, and breast surgeons and how patients can navigate conflicting information. Why This Conversation Matters As research evolves, so does our understanding of hormone therapy for breast cancer patients. This episode offers grounded, evidence‑based insight to help listeners feel informed, empowered, and supported in their decision‑making.

Carlos Castaneda sold more than 10 million books to readers who thought they were buying anthropology. Real fieldwork. A real Yaqui shaman named Don Juan, teaching a real Westerner how to see. None of it happened. Castaneda made it up, and for years almost nobody in the press called him on it.I read all of those books as a teenager. Grew up on them, the way a lot of people my age did, right alongside Kung Fu reruns and books about Gurdjieff my neighbor suggested I read. So, when I heard that Ru Marshall, a nonbinary writer and artist I met years ago at a cult conference, had just published a full biography of the man, I wanted them on the podcast immediately. The book is called American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda, and it took Marshall almost twenty years to write it.Here's the part most casual fans never learn. While Castaneda was cranking out sequels, he was also running an actual cult, a small group of women out of a house in Westwood that he called his witches. That story ends with human remains found in Death Valley. This is a fascinating discussion and will be thought provoking for sure.

In this special emergency edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about Martin Jarmond being fired, and then bring on Ken Graiwer to talk about fundraising and more in the post-Jarmond era. As we reported earlier today, Jarmond was fired today after years of UCLA running in the red financially in athletics. Additionally, as Dave and Tracy talk about on the pod, Jarmond managed his athletic programs poorly, and also did a very poor job of meeting the aspirations of the fanbase. We talked about what the future could look like with Tim Harris as the new CEO of Athletics, and how the program will now be run with a much more business-oriented mindset. We then brought on Champion of Westwood head Ken Graiwer to talk about what this could mean for fundraising, roster-building, and the overall outlook for UCLA athletics (hint: it's very, very positive).

"I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you." — John 13:34 What if we're sometimes so focused on being right that we forget what Jesus actually told us to do? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by singer-songwriter and worship leader Kate for an honest conversation about one of Jesus' most challenging commands: love one another as I have loved you. Together, they unpack why Christians can sometimes get so caught up in disagreements, denominations, theology and the things that divide us that we lose sight of the thing Jesus placed right in front of us—loving people. But this conversation goes even deeper. Kate and Ash explore what it actually means to love others when we're running low on patience, grace and kindness. Because the reality is, we can't keep pouring out something we're not receiving ourselves. Jesus doesn't simply tell us to love more—He invites us to first understand how deeply we are loved by Him. When we become more aware of God's love for us, we have a deeper well to draw from when loving the people around us gets difficult. This episode is a reminder that following Jesus isn't about being perfect, having all the answers, or winning every theological argument. It's about becoming people who reflect the love we've received. If you've ever found yourself frustrated by disagreements within the church, struggling to love someone you don't agree with, or simply running out of patience with the people around you, this conversation will encourage you to come back to the starting point: receive God's love, and let it overflow into the way you love others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." — James 1:2–3 What if the season you're desperately trying to escape is actually producing something in you that comfort never could? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest conversation about suffering, discomfort, and finding joy when life isn't going the way we hoped. Together, they unpack one of the Bible's most challenging instructions: "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials." Because let's be honest—none of us are naturally excited about hard seasons. We live in a world built around convenience, quick fixes and avoiding discomfort whenever possible. So what does James actually mean when he tells us to consider our trials joy? Ash and Kate explore how difficult seasons can test our faith, develop perseverance and reveal where we're turning when life gets hard. They talk about the difference between finding joy in suffering and pretending that suffering doesn't hurt, and why Christian joy isn't something we simply manufacture when circumstances are terrible. They also reflect on what it looks like to keep trusting God when nothing changes, prayers seem unanswered, and you're still facing the same circumstances you were months or even years ago. This episode is a reminder that God can produce deep faith in seasons we'd never choose for ourselves. Sometimes the joy isn't found in the circumstance changing—it's found in discovering that God is faithful even when it doesn't. If you're walking through a difficult season, waiting for something to change, or struggling to understand where God is in your suffering, this conversation will encourage you to keep turning to Him, keep trusting Him, and remember that your hard season isn't necessarily a wasted one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." — Ephesians 4:2 What if some of the biggest problems in our relationships aren't caused by what people actually did—but by what we expected them to do? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest conversation about unmet expectations, giving people grace, and learning to make allowance for each other's differences. Together, they unpack Paul's challenge in Ephesians 4:2 to be humble, gentle, patient, and willing to make space for other people's faults. They explore why we can be so quick to judge others by their actions while giving ourselves grace because we know our own intentions. Kate shares what years of living with housemates have taught her about extending grace, assuming the best of people, and "filling the gap with trust" when we don't know someone's intentions. They also explore how this applies to marriage, friendships, family, church, and the workplace. One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that relationships don't have to be based on agreement—they can be based on understanding. Sometimes making allowance means accepting that someone sees the world differently, communicates differently, or responds differently than we would. If you've ever been frustrated because someone didn't meet your expectations, taken something personally, or found yourself assuming the worst about someone's intentions, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, ask questions, give grace, and create space for people's humanity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rogier was dinsdag met Peter op Wilnis, tenminste toen we de weg gevonden hadden en donderdag met Paul op De Pan. Om het feest compleet te maken ook nog op zondag met Martijn op Amelisweerd. Peter had problemen met zijn afslagen, Paul heeft echt lekkere ballen geslagen, Martijn heeft zijn birdierekening geopend en Rogier heeft een gouden tip gekregen voor zijn driver.Paul legt ook nog even uit hoe je (niet) moet chippen en er komt een challenge aan met historische clubs.Weer een jong talent die op de PGA tour won, dit keer Brennan met zijn 2e overwinning. Gelukkig won ie van Beau(rista) Hossler (Lance Stroll) want die is zoooooo langzaam. Op LIV won Niemann zijn 9e! Westwood putte goed en werd zowaar eens netjes 3e. De Crushers wonnen het teamevent met 6 boven par. het was moeilijk, Bryson en Rahm waren allebei redelijk boven par.Maar het grootste nieuws is dat er waarschijnlijk een investeerder is gevonden die LIV in leven gaat houden. Er is nog veel onduidelijk, maar Scott O'neil weet het goed te verkopen.Op de LET kon Charley Hull het niet afmaken, Huang won met elke dag een eagle op 18.

Send us Fan MailA lot to talk about this week as Charlotte celebrates its first MLS All-Star events!  But first, Charlotte FC traveled to clinch an away win and clean sheet against the Red Bulls, 2-nil. Goals by All-Stars Pep Biel and Ashley Westwood were made of pure class while Kahlina and the defensive line earned only the third clean sheet on the season. Then USMNT defender Tim Ream showed his professional skill with near-deadly precision and accuracy in the 2026 MLS All-Star Skills Passing Challenge, bringing home the win and a trophy for his efforts. And finally, Ream, Biel, and Westwood earn debuts as MLS All-Stars in a match that tallies a win for Coach Dean Smith but truly showcases multiple All-Stars MLS talent in goal contributions and standout performances. Also back on topic is transfers and rumors and the performances of those who might be called on to fill in for the lack of depth.The Queens' Pitch on X@thequeenspitchclt

In this hilarious and heartfelt first installment of our conversation with Bravo TV's Persian Valley star, Sky Askari, we immediately discover that we may have found our long-lost twin. Born in Iran, raised between Germany and Switzerland, and now building a luxury jewelry empire in Los Angeles, Sky joins us to talk about everything from family, fashion, and immigration to love, marriage, and what it really takes to reinvent yourself in America. We kick things off by bonding over our shared European connections, our love of luxury, and our surprising ties to the Kardashian family. Pol' reminisces about designing Robert Kardashian's Wife's (not Kris Jenner) final wedding gown while Sky opens up about her own extraordinary journey from Iran to Germany and eventually to Los Angeles, where she studied art and fashion before launching her bridal business and later creating Sky Askari Fine Jewelry. As Sky shares stories about growing up Persian, we dive into cultural traditions, private schools, family expectations, and the differences between life in Iran, Germany, and America. She reveals that despite common assumptions, she arrived in the United States with a green card already in hand and built her life here through determination, hard work, and a refusal to be limited by labels. Things get especially entertaining when Sky admits that before becoming a successful jewelry designer and Bravo star, she worked at the legendary Shamshiri restaurant in Westwood, where she met her future husband, Bomshad. What begins as a casual story about waitressing quickly turns into one of the funniest and longest proposal stories we've ever heard. Sky reveals that after years of insisting she never wanted to get married, Bomshad proposed on Valentine's Day wearing colorful socks and boxers, nervously pacing around their home with a Tiffany box in hand. But instead of a dazzling diamond ring, Sky found a simple gold band—because, according to him, she was “too picky” to trust with choosing her own engagement ring. Along the way, we compare engagement stories, including our own unforgettable televised proposal, and discover that Sky's fiercely independent spirit mirrors our own philosophy on relationships: love should always be a choice, never an obligation. We also get unexpectedly deep as Sky reflects on her parents' divorce, their enduring friendship, and the lessons she learned about commitment, freedom, and building a life on her own terms. The conversation turns emotional as she discusses family members still living in Iran and why today's political climate makes returning home difficult. From Persian culture and restaurant chaos to luxury jewelry and unconventional romance, Part 1 is packed with laughter, honesty, and the realization that maybe Capricorns really do run the world.

J&J Show---Hour 3 Wednesday 7/1/26--The "Rundown" on Free Agency, Robinson to Celts, Memphis Jeopardy Champ & Dr. Trent Watson, Westwood Principal

The Gospel of John tells us that we are freed by faith alone, and crucified in Christ. However, our culture is trying to remove our remembrances of the sacrifices and the contributions of our non-white brothers and sisters with the intent that we forget. Westwood stands diametrically opposed to this attempt to rewrite history.  Today's message comes from Pastor Jason. Our Gospel comes from John  Chapter 8, verses 31 - 36. Our scripture lesson is from 2 Samuel, Chapter 13, verses 20-22.

Paris Chong chats with Lee Kaplan, the owner of Arcana Books, about the evolution of the independent bookselling scene in Los Angeles. Lee shares the story behind starting his iconic store in 1984, operating initially from a small one-bedroom apartment in Westwood, and explains the strategic reasoning behind choosing the name "Arcana" to stand out in the pre-internet Yellow Pages. Throughout their conversation, they reflect on how the industry has shifted over the last four decades, the disappearance of many historic and metaphysical bookstores, and Lee's personal journey of building a long-lived, all-consuming business with passion and energy.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Lee Kaplanhttps://youtu.be/lHTJIxcMj44https://www.theparischongshow.com

The church exists for all of the people of the world. It doesn't exist to keep us comfortable and cloistered behind our walls. When we live the mission and the Holy Spirit gets unleashed, the endings are unimaginable. Each of us has the good news of God's gift to be shared anywhere and everywhere. Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our scripture lesson comes from Psalm 100, and our Gospel comes from Matthew Chapter's 9 verse 35 to Chapter 10, verse 8. 

Andy's sobriety date is October 21, 2005 and his Home group is currently the same group that he joined when he first came in- the Morning After Group of Westwood, New Jersey, now both on Zoom and in person. AA saved Andy's life- He says that he can never give back to A.A. what's been given to him but he can try one day at a time. As the result of the 12 Steps-being protected by god, at home with self, and connected to a community, Andy has moved from a taker to a giver- from a greedy soul towards having a servants heart.

The Gospel of Matthew shares that a value for Christian discipleship is both creating a welcoming space for children and pursuing their well-being in our communities.  This values isn't just something decided on, but comes from being swept up into God's story of grace and calling in Jesus. Today's message comes from Pastor Jason. Our bible reading is Psalm 127, and our Gospel comes from Matthew Chapter 9, verses 18 - 26.

In the first of our Sessions for five years, Juliet speaks to artist, filmmaker, performer and art psychotherapist Jill Westwood (b. 1960) about her work in the early 1980s and its rediscovery after it was included in Tate Britain's landmark exhibition Women in Revolt: Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990 in 2023. They also discussed how Jill's practice was formed in the Black Country, where she encountered punk as a teenager, at art school in Stourbridge, and then in Sheffield amidst the city's post-punk music scene, with deindustrialisation, misogyny and the Yorkshire Ripper in the background. We talked about her photography, performances and films, made as a student at the Royal College of Art in London between 1979 and 1984, how her art intersected with the queer and fetish scenes, and her subsequent work as an art psychotherapist in Australia and London. Finally, we talked about how group exhibition, Protect Me from What I Know with Sohrab Hura and Adam Lewis Jacob at Glasgow International, and how people respond to her work decades after its creation.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave goes solo to talk about the commitment of Latvian wing Gunars Grinvalds, UCLA football adding a big official visitor for this weekend, and the end of the season for UCLA baseball and softball. I talked for a while about what to make of the Grinvalds commitment, and whether he has the potential to make an instant impact in year one. At 18 years old, it makes the most sense to think about Grinvalds as the equivalent of landing a high school senior, and not a five-star, but one of those developmental four-stars we're always talking about. I also talked about the UCLA football team adding a couple more official visitors to the list this weekend, most notably five-star athlete Xavier Sabb. Whether the Bruins land Sabb still seems a little far-fetched, but the simple fact that they've gotten him to take a trip to Westwood speaks to the sea change in recruiting in Westwood. Finally, I touched on the end of the road for both UCLA baseball and UCLA softball. The tragic vagaries of the sport caught up with the baseball team, but the softball team made it all the way to the College World Series before bowing out. Both programs, though, probably need an infusion of NIL resources if they're going to stay competitive at the highest level going forward. Bruin Report Online is now at On3!

Paris Chong welcomes Lee Kaplan, owner of the long-lived Arcana Books in Culver City, a destination known for its vast selection of visually-driven material, including modern and contemporary art, photography, music, and fashion. Kaplan discusses his eclectic background, revealing he was a musician and visual artist before opening his store. Notably, he was one of the original three employees at Rhino Records starting in 1975, where he pioneered the store's renowned selection of jazz, world music, and reggae imports.Kaplan founded Arcana Books in 1984, originally operating out of a one-bedroom apartment in Westwood. The name "Arcana" was inspired by an avant-garde composer (and was strategically chosen to start with "A" for the pre-internet Yellow Pages). He reflects on the dramatic transformation of the book-selling landscape since the 1980s, noting the closure of many original, small used bookstores. Kaplan contrasts the early days of "the thrill of the chase" when hunting for used books with the modern grind of managing the business, sharing that his wife and partner, Whitney, assists with the operations from an annex in the Helms Bakery complex.Today, Arcana is situated in the Helms Bakery complex, in a building rebuilt on the site of the official bakery for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Kaplan emphasizes that the store serves as more than just a retail space; it acts as a "confluence and meeting place" that connects artists, photographers, and publishers for various projects, an aspect he finds very rewarding. They also discuss the importance of books as a tangible calling card for photographers, mentioning the legendary initial success of Ed Templeton's “Teenage Smokers*”*, and reflect on the patronage of late client Diane Keaton, who was a passionate book lover and photographer.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/lee-kaplan-arcana-books-art-and-the-history-of-los-angeles-book-cultureChapters:00:00 Show Intro and Guest01:27 From Music to Books03:24 Rhino Records Deep Dive06:00 West LA Food Detour07:27 Family Roots and Influences11:09 Why Arcana Books15:10 Bookstore Life and Partnership24:32 Old Hollywood Holdouts25:03 Diane Keaton at Arcana29:22 Arcana's Book Universe31:11 Famous Faces and Connections34:45 Selling Books and Being Cut Out40:04 Why Photographers Need Books44:17 Martin Parr Pick and Final Plug

Buddies! I'm back with another interview on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time speaking with Richard Foos—the influential founder behind Rhino Entertainment and co-founder of Shout! Studios. Sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Modern Reissues", the work from Richard's companies has been instrumental in the current "golden age" of vinyl, and have inspired reissue labels we know and love like Light in the Attic (LITA), Sundazed Music, and the folks in Salina, KS at Analogue Productions.  In this reflective interview, Foos shares the incredible journey from opening the original Rhino Records store in Westwood, Los Angeles in 1973 to building one of the most influential reissue labels in music history. From preserving lost music and comedy albums to pioneering deluxe box sets, archival releases, and collector culture, Richard Foos helped shape how generations of music fans experience physical media. With Rhino, he set a standard for quality and bonus essays, lost tracks, features, etc. that music fans have enjoyed for decades.  Topics include: The origins of his connection to music The early days of Rhino Records, the record store Building the reissue label and store through a couple "happy accidents" Legendary Rhino projects involving The Monkees, Ramones, James Brown and MORE! What goes into curating a reissue choice? from licensing to consumer desire to personal preferences Launching Shout! Factory and expanding into film and television preservation Why curation, community, and storytelling still matter What does he think of the "vinyl resurgence" of the past two decades? Moving away from the boardroom and into philanthropic projects like The Narrative Method and Volunteer Collective Did Dave Grohl "license" his name to when naming the Foo Fighters?   This conversation is essential listening for vinyl collectors, music historians, physical media enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the business and culture behind record collecting.   Often imitated, never duplicated, please join us for another fine interview courtesy of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Chuck Todd opens with a wave of primary night results that all point the same direction: Thomas Massie has lost his reelection bid, Trump's grip on the GOP base is as strong as ever, and the president just endorsed Ken Paxton in Texas — a move that's great for Trump personally and disastrous for the Republican Party, which will now have to pour enormous money into a Senate seat that was supposed to be safe. Democrats outvoted Republicans in Georgia, with African-American turnout spiking in the aftermath of the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act — exactly the kind of backlash dynamic that could reshape the entire midterm map. The night's verdict: good for Trump, bad for the GOP. But he argues the deeper, more dangerous story isn't electoral — it's the systematic normalization of corruption that Trump is engineering in plain sight. He's turning the Republican Party into a kleptocracy, selling pardons that erase prison sentences and massive financial penalties, raising prices for ordinary Americans while amassing a personal fortune, and just secured a DOJ get-out-of-jail-free card for his family on tax evasion. The genius of Trump's strategy, Chuck argues, is that he understands corruption can be absorbed into the culture if it carries no meaningful penalty. He reminds listeners that Bill Clinton survived his scandals only because the economy was booming; corruption becomes a voting issue when people's lives get worse, and Trump's policies are now unraveling the American economy at exactly the wrong moment for him. The real warning sits in the structural pattern: once corruption becomes politically survivable, it becomes politically reproducible. Then, Dartmouth political scientist Sean Westwood — director of the Polarization Lab and one of the leading researchers studying why American politics has become so toxic — joins the Chuck Toddcast with a counterintuitive opening argument: America has actually been more polarized in the past than it is now, and polarization itself is a normal feature of democracy. What changed is that the Cold War spent four decades artificially suppressing American polarization by giving the country a unifying external adversary; once the Soviet Union collapsed, the Pat Buchanan wing of the GOP emerged from hibernation and the country returned to its more natural fractious state. The real threat, Westwood argues, isn't disagreement — it's the structural changes that have allowed disagreement to metastasize into something all-consuming. He walks through the menu of possible reforms — ranked choice voting, all-party primaries, stronger party control over nominations — and is refreshingly candid about the tradeoffs: every fix comes with its own problems, moving from a two-party to a multi-party system would be enormously difficult (most multi-party democracies still end up with two dominant parties anyway), and the most realistic reform is simply restoring stronger party control, though Congress will never vote for anything that threatens its own members. The conversation broadens into a sweeping diagnosis of what's actually broken. Westwood argues we're creating a world where if you don't opt-in to politics, you simply won't encounter it — meaning voters increasingly lack the basic information needed to hold elected officials accountable. He warns that any election denialism from one side gives the other side a permission slip to do the same, that America is experiencing more democratic backsliding than most observers want to admit, and that AI-powered microtargeting is about to make the information environment dramatically more disruptive than anything we've seen so far. Westwood identifies the Senate's malapportionment as the single most destructive feature of American politics, and observes that interracial marriage used to be the great cultural wedge before being replaced by raw partisanship — meaning partisan identity has now absorbed every other source of social division. He notes that Democrats have created litmus tests that will never win in rural America and that many modern legislators simply don't have governing skills but are very good at getting attention because humans are predisposed to focus on threat and conflict. Westwood's most haunting closing observation: telling voters they no longer live in a democracy can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that's a risk both sides need to take far more seriously than they currently do.

Parag Sanghani of the Westwood Holdings Group, manager of the firm's Enhanced Energy Income and Enhanced Midstream Income ETFs, says that the ongoing war in Iran has pulled volumes from inventories early, creating synthetic demand that will keep prices higher for several years. That benefits the oil companies and stocks that Sangahni likes, but it hurts by creating a tax at the gas pump, which he expects to remain in place longer than most projections. Sanghani says he currently likes the entire spectrum of energy investments, not just oil and gas, noting that power demands are expected to keep growing beyond current capacity constraints for years to come. Matt Freund, co-chief investment officer at Calamos Investments, says that productivity, GDP growth and earnings are "what matters," and that the headline risks that are driving consumer sentiment are "distractions" from a market backdrop that is solid. He says inflation remains the big risk, but notes that the investor sentiment is creating opportunities, particularly in closed-end funds where they are reflected in discount trends.  Plus, Stephen Lubben, a law professor at Seton Hall University, discusses his recent book, "To Protect Their Interests: The Invention and Exploitation of Corporate Bankruptcy," and how the nation's bankruptcy laws have been used in ways that don't protect the broader economy from the failure of big firms but instead protect wealthy power brokers from facing financial consequences of mistakes and misdeeds.

Today on another brand new episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Adam Nimoy, son of actor, director, pilot, musician and much more, Leonard Nimoy. We spoke to Adam about growing up the child of one of the most beloved actors of his generation because he portrayed one of the most iconic characters of the 20th century, Spock from Star Trek in television and film. Of course, not too long ago we spoke to Adam's sister Julie Nimoy and brother-in-law David Knight and we learned a few things about Leonard. But this one is just a bit different. On this episode, we learn from Adam about the relationship, struggles and finally  acceptance he had with his father which was outlined in two books, 2008's My Incredible, Wonderful, Miserable Life:An Anti Memoir and 2024's The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy. Among other things, it was with the help of getting sober and a 12-Step program that both father and son leaned on to connect after a period of estrangement and also how it helped to be open and honest and share – something that was in limited supply for most of Adam's life. Along the way, we take a deep dive in L.A. nostalgia including our shared education at University High School in West L.A, restaurants he and his family frequented, several of his father's automobiles, the Paisley Underground scene of the 1980s, how the band the Rain Parade were his first clients when he was becoming a lawyer via his relationship growing up with them as a kid, Leonard's TV movie Baffledwhich holds a special place in host Josh Mills's heart and how the last vestiges of the beloved Stan's Donuts in Westwood has finally closed shop. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. Live long and prosper friends. Take a listen.
