Is Lanterns officially the first massive television hit of James Gunn's DCU? With the Lanterns finale right around the corner, new numbers claim the HBO series is averaging approximately 19 MILLION viewers per episode. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the reported viewership numbers for Lanterns, the response to the season so far, and what its success could mean for Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Green Lantern, and the future of DC Studios. With the finale approaching, we'll also look back at the season and discuss whether Lanterns has lived up to the hype. Has the series successfully established Aaron Pierre's John Stewart as one of the major characters of the new DCU? And where does Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan go from here? NO FINALE SPOILERS YET — we'll save the full season and finale spoiler discussion until after the episode airs. We also have a potentially enormous development for Hollywood. Warner Bros. and Paramount are preparing to become Skydance, and a new trailer promoting the merger is highlighting the absolutely enormous collection of franchises that will exist under the combined company. We're talking DC, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Top Gun, Mortal Kombat and many more. What happens when this many major entertainment properties exist under one corporate umbrella? And most importantly for DC fans, what does this mean for James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios? #Lanterns #GreenLantern #JohnStewart #HalJordan #AaronPierre #KyleChandler #DCU #DCStudios #JamesGunn #WarnerBros #Paramount #Skydance  #MovieNews #TVNews #KristianHarloffShow

As AI systems become more autonomous and are delegated more and more power across industries, we have to ask ourselves: are we walking the dog, or is the dog walking us? Is voluntary self-regulation really enough, or is it high time for legislators to get serious about reigning things in before the problem becomes too big to solve? CEO of CAS Strategies Camille Stewart Gloster joins us to discuss her new book The Insider You Built and explore why sensible regulation is sorely needed and more.  This material is distributed by TRG Advisory Services, LLC on behalf of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the U.S..

It's Kristian Harloff's birthday! Join us for a special Kristian Harloff Show birthday stream as we celebrate with the community, hang out, talk movies, take your questions, and break down some HUGE entertainment news! And we've got plenty to talk about today. Is Avengers: Secret Wars getting delayed? New reports claim production on Marvel Studios' massive Multiverse Saga finale may not begin until 2027, raising questions about whether the movie can still make its planned release date. On today's birthday edition of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest Avengers: Secret Wars production news, what a potential delay could mean for Marvel Studios, and whether giving the Russo Brothers more time might actually be the best possible decision. With Avengers: Doomsday setting the stage for Secret Wars and Marvel preparing one of the biggest superhero crossovers ever attempted, should Marvel rush to meet a release date — or take as much time as necessary to get Secret Wars right? K-Pop: Demon Hunters 2 is also getting a major theatrical push, with the sequel reportedly heading to movie theaters before streaming. Is this another sign that streaming companies are realizing the value of theatrical releases? Then there's potentially massive Hollywood news: the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal is reportedly set to close next week. After months of speculation, legal battles, and questions about the future of Warner Bros., Paramount, HBO and DC Studios, one of the biggest entertainment deals in years may finally be nearing completion. We'll discuss what happens next and what the new company could mean for DC Studios, Warner Bros., Paramount, HBO, and some of Hollywood's biggest franchises. Finally, we're taking a closer look at Warner Bros.' 2026 box office performance. What worked? What failed? And what lessons will the studio take into this new era? Come hang out with Kristian and the crew as we talk Marvel, DC, Star Wars, movies, television, Hollywood, and whatever else comes up during the birthday stream. Bring your questions, join the conversation, and help us celebrate another year of The Kristian Harloff Show! And yes, we're definitely debating whether Marvel should be worried about Avengers: Secret Wars. If production really isn't beginning until 2027, Marvel has a massive undertaking ahead of it. But after everything riding on Doomsday and Secret Wars, taking extra time may be exactly what the MCU needs. Happy Birthday, Kristian!

My friend Pam Shepherd, a communications professional at George Mason University and a sixth-generation Latter-day Saint, joins us to share some of her journey growing up Mormon while not always feeling like she fit the traditional Mormon mold. Pam talks about navigating that experience at BYU and later as a young single adult in the Washington, DC area. She also discusses her desire to better understand the experiences of Gen Z Utah Latter-day Saint women (ages 18-29) on a variety of issues. That curiosity led to a research project for which she is currently seeking anonymous survey participants (see show notes for details). Thank you, Pam, for sharing both your personal story and the motivation behind this important research. Your experiences navigating life both within and outside traditional Mormon expectations give you a unique perspective as you seek to better understand the experiences of Gen Z Utah Latter-day Saint women. I appreciate your willingness to undertake this work and contribute meaningful data to an area where little research currently exists. It was a pleasure having you on the podcast. If you are a Gen Z LDS woman, I encourage you to fill out Pam's survey. Survey: https://gmu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eE9q7qaZAsdbAHA Email: pshephe@gmu.edu Instagram: @pammyshep

UK OFF-PEAK EV CHARGING COSTS 2.3P PER MILE IN NEW ANALYSISCarbon Brief estimates UK EVs charged overnight at home cost about 2.3p per mile, versus 20.1p for petrol and 21p for diesel, while charging at the domestic price cap costs around 7p per mile. The advantage depends heavily on access to home charging and off-peak tariffs, and although electricity prices and a planned 3p-per-mile EV tax from April 2028 will narrow the gap, EVs are still expected to retain a substantial energy-cost advantage.VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS $12,500 TO CLEAR REMAINING US ID.4 STOCKVolkswagen is offering US buyers and lessees $12,500 on remaining 2025 ID.4s until 2 November, after first-half 2026 sales fell 77.2% to 2,205 and production at its Chattanooga factory ended in April. The large incentive is intended to clear very limited stock while Volkswagen prepares a future North American replacement, expected to adopt the ID. Tiguan name but with no announced launch timetable.VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCK RANGE WINS INTERNATIONAL TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2027Volvo's FH Electric, FM Electric, FMX Electric and FH Aero Electric have won International Truck of the Year 2027, with judges highlighting improvements in range, efficiency, payload and suitability for different heavy-transport roles. Production of the next generation began in Gothenburg on 14 September, with the FH, FM and FMX Electric offering up to 470 kilometres of range and further production planned in Belgium.MERCEDES-AMG NEEDS REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START CHARGING AT TEST EVENTA Mercedes-AMG needed several attempts to establish communication with a charger during CharIN Testival 2026, illustrating the interoperability challenges created by technologies including Plug & Charge, bidirectional charging and megawatt charging. The controlled test does not show how common such failures are for consumers, but CharIN says compatibility, connector locking and vehicle-to-grid implementation still need improvement even as ISO 15118-20 standards mature.EXPLOREN PLANS MORE THAN 600 FAST CHARGERS ACROSS AUSTRALIAExploren will invest A$30 million over two years to install more than 600 DC fast chargers across Australia, with many offering 200 kW or more alongside contactless payment and upgrades to existing sites. The expansion builds on the company's acquisition of Engie's Australian and New Zealand charging network in 2025, adding new hardware while also improving maintenance and ease of use across its existing network.NEW ZEALAND REPORT FINDS CCS2 VEHICLE-TO-GRID SUPPORT LIMITED TO TRIALSA New Zealand government-backed readiness report finds that CCS2 vehicle-to-grid support remains largely restricted to approved trials, with BYD and NordEast requiring individual vehicle approval and only StarCharge Halo and SigenStor EV DC chargers meeting the report's stated requirements. Wider adoption could begin from mid-2027 if BYD introduces standard-warranty V2G support as planned, while current trials are already testing enhanced export payments of up to NZ$0.70 per kWh in grid-constrained areas.

Russia hit a school in Kyiv today, in broad daylight. Luckily the children and staff were sheltering and unharmed. But as Ukraine's children continue to live under the ferocity of Russia's missiles, America stands by, instead choosing to exclude key allies like Britain, France and the Baltic states from a NATO meeting next month.

An Interview with Karin Lips, Founder and President, Network of enlightened Women (NeW) College should be a place where young people wrestle with big ideas and discover who they are. Yet for many conservative women, campus can feel so isolating that they just decide to keep their views to themselves before they even arrive. In the fall of 2004, a University of Virginia student returned from an internship in Washington, DC, looking for a place where college women could talk about public policy, including conservative ideas. When she asked the campus Women's Center to co-sponsor a group for conservative women, she was essentially laughed at and told, "not here." So she started a book club. Within a year, women on other campuses wanted chapters of their own. Today, the Network of enlightened Women is on more than 40 college campuses, with professional and alumnae chapters that carry its mission beyond graduation: to educate, equip, and empower women to be principled leaders for a free society. That student is our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom. Karin Lips is the Founder and President of NeW. A graduate of the University of Virginia and its School of Law, she practiced law at Wiley Rein and was a Resident Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics. She is the author of You're Not Alone: The Conservative Woman's Guide to College and editor of She's Conservative: Stories of Trials and Triumphs on America's College Campuses. Topics Discussed on this Episode: How a rejected request at UVA sparked a book club that grew into a national network What NeW's mission to educate, equip, and empower looks like in practice How conservative women on campus are finding their voice What Karin is seeing in higher education today — and what university leaders should do differently What gives Karin hope about the next generation of young women

Brooke DeRenzis from the National Skills Coalition talks with Paul Fain about how to build a workforce agenda for the AI economy. The National Skills Coalition is a nonprofit organization that advocates for inclusive, high-quality skills training. DeRenzis is the group's DC-based CEO. She shares how the US can leverage bipartisan concern about AI's impacts to improve on decades of unfinished workforce policy. Chapters 00:00 How ready is the US?: The main workforce law is a generation old and its real funding has shrunk. The safety net is built for normal ups and downs, not structural change. 02:15 We spend far less than our peers: The US is at the bottom of the OECD chart on workforce spending. 03:15 What Americans are saying: Nobody has a crystal ball. People want to know what AI means for their own job, family and community. 06:05 From "second chance" to "first choice": Treating workforce spending as a core investment, and why the lack of partisan lines on AI is an opening. 11:45 "Job training doesn't work"?: What workers actually want: economic stability, and control over their own careers. 14:55 "Economic infrastructure": People shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and getting training. 17:20 Where basic income and reskilling overlap: New Mexico's guaranteed income for student parents, and pandemic emergency aid at community colleges. 20:00 The pilot problem: Low spending produces modest results, which justifies low spending. Per Scholas, and $2K training vouchers versus a $10K program. 25:05 Scaling up: Community colleges, union-management training partnerships, and employers who want in from the start. 29:40 Corporate money: Lowe's and others investing in the skilled trades, and the building of AI infrastructure itself driving demand for workers. 33:05 States or Washington? Why not to wait, and the broken promises of past economic transitions. 37:45 Pennsylvania: Deindustrialization, Gov. Shapiro's shift on data centers, and where people can look for hope. 41:40 Community anchors: Community colleges and community groups as the places people go when they're worried about work. 44:45 A New Promise of Work: About 500 conversations nationwide, policy proposals coming at the National Skills Coalition's March 2027 Skills Summit, and who needs to champion them.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the direct assault on our republic and Constitution is very concerning. Former special prosecutor Jack Smith abused his authority by obtaining secret subpoenas for communications from Republican members of Congress, numerous media organizations, journalists, and even the Mark Levin radio show, the only radio show in the country Smith went after, as part of his investigation into President Trump. These actions, carried out with the approval of federal judges and hidden from public view, violated constitutional protections, including separation of powers, the Speech and Debate Clause, and the First Amendment. This investigation was driven by political motives rather than justice. And make no mistake: the Biden White House was looped in on everything.  Also, if Donald Trump was not president, and Kamala Harris won the presidency, the Democrat Party ruled DC, and the Woke Reich isolation appeasers held sway, the Iranian regime would have nuclear weapons, complete control over the Strait of Hormuz driving gas prices far beyond what they are today (which would be the least of our problems), our nation and many others would be facing nuclear attack by an Islamist-terrorist death cult openly committed to our annihilation, or at least nuclear blackmail that would change the face of the planet, and we'd have few if any options in dealing with the Iranian regime. Now that President Trump has prevented ALL of these horrific scenarios because he uniquely had the courage and foresight to act, the various imbeciles of the Left and Radical Right beat their chests and howl to the moon as if they were right about something all along.  They were right about nothing.  But for POTUS acting, they'd be proven wrong about everything, to our grave endangerment and that of the rest of the world. Later, there's a proposed Islamic community center, school, and mosque project near Atlantic Avenue and Lyons Road in South Florida.. After reviewing property records, corporate filings, and organizational connections tied to the project, the ownership structure, property transfers, LLC formations, and relationships among various organizations have become so complex that it is difficult for the public to follow the money, understand who is ultimately responsible, or assess the project's full impact. Residents should demand answers, request records, and put their concerns on the record because this project could significantly affect the surrounding community and deserves thorough public scrutiny. Finally, Alan Dershowitz calls in to discuss his new book - Why I Quit the Dems: And So Should You! (confessions of a reluctant Republican*). Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt Brown spent his career inside the national security world without ever wearing a uniform. He came up through grad school and think tank work in DC, earned a TS/SCI clearance, and landed in the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy working the counter-WMD mission. From there he moved to the State Department. In August 2023 he walked into a Senate committee, signed his real name, and became a whistleblower on UAP. His report on a program called Immaculate Constellation was later entered into the congressional record. Today he co-runs Vanguard Enterprise, a nonprofit built to support the people who came forward after him. This conversation covers what pushed him over the edge. He says he saw transcripts showing the director of the Pentagon's UAP office was not telling senators the truth. He explains how the counter-WMD mission gave him a legitimate reason to see collection on objects around nuclear assets, and what he saw on those systems, from small orbs going in and out of water to a large triangle and a boomerang that disappeared behind its own light.  We cover the reality of blowing the whistle inside the IC, the retaliation he describes, and the questions he thinks Congress should be asking now.  Today's Sponsors:  Toehold: https://www.shoptoehold.com Use code "Andy" for 15% off at checkout   Ethos:  Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 39 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Tennis should build confident kids, not exhausted robots. Adriana Dino shares the coaching philosophy that helps young players grow into thinkers, leaders, and lifelong fans of the game—while showing parents exactly when to step back and when to lean in.Born and raised in Romania, Adriana started with a wooden racket, a straight-talking father, and a coach who changed her life. After playing, studying physical education, and coaching for nearly 20 years in the United States, she brings a rare perspective to the parent-coach-player triangle that drives junior tennis.Tennis Parent TakeawaysSupport your child with unconditional love rather than constant technical instruction.Learn to recognize when encouragement has become pressure.Gradually transfer responsibility for preparation, performance, and problem-solving to your child.Help your player develop routines for resetting after mistakes and bad line calls.Focus on resilience, confidence, and personal growth—not only wins and rankings.Accept that high-performance tennis may not be the right path for every talented player.Keep your child's love of tennis at the center of the experience.Lisa and Adriana also break down the mental side of junior competition, including what to do after a bad call, how to reset between points, and why tournaments are one of the best classrooms for resilience. Adriana's approach is simple but powerful: coach the person first, develop the player second, and keep the love for tennis intact for life.She also shares the unforgettable influence of playing Monica Niculescu as a 14-year-old in Bucharest, and why exposure to higher-level tennis can shape a junior's mindset long before they're ready for the professional circuit.This episode is essential listening for tennis parents, junior players, and coaches who want more than wins—they want growth, confidence, and a healthier relationship with the sport.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer six listener questions on the UK money decisions that trip people up. We look at the best place to hold an emergency fund (cash ISA, Premium Bonds or stocks and shares ISA), how the £10,000 Money Purchase Annual Allowance works if you retire part-way through the tax year, and whether moving pension income into an ISA can help fund future care home costs. We also cover claiming a refund on overdraft charges, balancing a police CARE pension with a SIPP, LISA and ISA to retire at 55, and paying employee share scheme proceeds into a SIPP tax-efficiently. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA61  01:51  Question 1 Hi Pete and Roger - I'm quite a new listener to the podcast having come across it in my current pursuit of career-changing into the marvellous world of Financial Planning, from Accounting. The mini-series on what makes a good financial adviser was very eye opening and helped me take the decision to make the leap into financial advice - so thank you! Currently only 4 days left of my notice period as of writing. My question is hopefully a VERY simple one, especially for gentlemen of your calibre - I'm undecided and procrastinating on where the best place to hold my emergency fund is. With some indecision and flippancy over the past few years I've managed to end up with a little bit in a number of different pots, ranging from: - around £2,500 in Premium Bonds (yet to win a prize) - around £4,000 in a S&S ISA which of course is taking a bit of a hit as-of late - the remaining £2,000-£3,000 in a Cash ISA I know the short-term volatility of the S&S ISA is not well suited for an emergency fund, as evidenced in the last few months, but the amount just slowly grew over time while I was haphazardly saving. In your opinion, is this just as simple as putting everything into the Cash ISA and just having to eat the small inflation erosion vs interest gains? Naturally I want the funds to be available quickly were I to ever need them. Thanks for all the fantastic podcast episodes and apologies for my question being as long as it was for such a simple ask. Chris 06:25  Question 2 Hi Pete & Rog I only discovered your podcast last year but think it's excellent. You make complex topics easy to follow - thank you. I've just turned 65 and am planning to give up work later this year (I currently work three days a week).  I've watched a lot of Meaningful Money content over the past few years, and great stuff from others, and last month re-read the Meaningful Money Retirement Guide just to keep on the right track & I think we're in a good place. I intend to keep making contributions into my workplace pension up to my retirement - salary sacrifice, employer contribution, low fees, etc. My question: If I retire part way through the tax year and have already made pension contributions in excess of the £10,000 MPAA does this mean I'd have to wait until the following 6th April to access my pension (other than tax free cash) to avoid a tax charge? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks and keep up the good work. Regards Kev 09:00 Question 3 Hi folks. Both Roger and Pete are doing a sterling job. My question/observation. Given there is a good probability of myself entering a rest/retirement/nursing home, and we know how expensive these are. Also there is now not the carrot of passing on DC pension pots free of IHT (from April 2027).  Would not the best strategy be to max out the Basic rate income from ones DC pot, moving it say into an ISA (£20k p.y. as I write). The reason being, the expense of the retirement care and accommodation may be such that any income needed at that time from the DC pot, should funds allow, may be subject to higher rate income tax, in order to meet the bills. Just a thought Best regards John 12:11 Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, I started listening to your podcast about 18 months ago and it really inspired me to turn my finances around. I'm in my 30s and have had overdraft and credit card debt since my late teens when I went to university. I'm hoping for a bit of advice. I've recently started taking control of my finances and am in the middle of paying off credit card and car debt using Dave Ramsey's snowball method. For years I lived in my overdraft and at the top end of my credit card limit, paying fees on both. Until a couple of years ago, I would be close to my arranged overdraft limit, get paid, spend about a week out of my overdraft and then fall back into it until payday. I recently heard about people who have had a refund on overdraft charges if they were persistently living in debt. I've struggled to get my head around if this would apply to me and wondered if anyone could offer any advice? Particularly if it impacts credit rating or could have any negative consequences. Thank you! Best wishes, Elizabeth 18:57 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger I can't wait until a new episode to listen to while I'm commuting to work, it gives me a lot to think about, and how I can prepare for my retirement and I appreciate everything you all do and meaningful money. I'm a 35-year-old UK police officer contributing to the Police Pension Scheme (2015 CARE scheme), and I'm trying to sense-check whether I'm being overly pessimistic about my retirement planning. My current situation: Police CARE pension projected to provide an income from around age 60+ I've already bought my home, so I'm using a Stocks & Shares LISA purely for retirement alongside a SIPP and ISA I'm aiming for a comfortable retirement of roughly £3,000–£4,000 per month, with the goal of stepping back from full-time work around age 55. The complication is the nature of the job: Policing is physically demanding, involves long hours, night shifts, and a general level of risk. There's also a commonly cited concern that police officers may have a lower life expectancy due to these factors. Because of this, I'm not convinced I want to stay in the job all the way to the scheme's normal retirement age. But stepping away earlier would mean: Delaying access to the pension. Potentially reducing the overall benefits. Needing to bridge a longer gap using my own investments. There are also structural challenges with the scheme: Contributions are a high percentage of my income. If I leave, I can't transfer the pension into another scheme, meaning it becomes deferred and grows more slowly than if I remained an active member. To manage this, I'm currently: Contributing to a SIPP for additional retirement income. Maxing out my Stocks & Shares LISA as a tax-efficient retirement pot (since I've already used the property benefit) Building ISA investments alongside. My concern is this: Despite having a defined benefit pension, I find myself treating it very conservatively—almost as a "bonus" rather than a core foundation. So my questions are: Am I being too pessimistic about the value and reliability of the CARE pension, given the realities of the job and its constraints? Am I overcompensating by saving too aggressively into ISAs, LISAs, and SIPPs instead of allowing myself to enjoy more of my income now? And how should someone in my position balance: The security of a defined benefit pension. The desire for flexibility and earlier retirement. And the reality that I may not want—or be able—to do this job into my 60s? Thanks for everything you do—the podcast has really helped shape how I think about money and long-term planning, Stephen 27:36  Question 6 Hello,  First, I would like to thank you both for the valuable information you provide. For much of my life, I have felt financially uninformed and unsure in my decisions. Thanks to your guidance I've had a huge awakening in the past 5 months. I now feel far more confident and in control of my finances. Thank you so much for putting out this content for us all. I have a question regarding an employee share scheme offered by my workplace. The scheme allows me to purchase shares at a discounted price over several years. As I understand it, these shares are bought using pre-tax income, and tax is only payable if the shares are sold before the scheme reaches full maturity. I am planning to open a SIPP in the coming weeks, and I was considering transferring the proceeds from the share scheme into the SIPP once it has fully matured. It seems that this could effectively result in a 20% gain on income that has not been taxed initially. However, this feels somewhat like a loophole, and I would like to confirm whether this approach is compliant or advisable. Thank you very much for your time Kind regards, Lee

What if growing in your career doesn't require choosing between ambition and humility? In this special BOLDLY Breakout Spotlight episode of the Moving Forward Podcast, Melissa Harrison sits down with Ellie Nieves, a leadership coach, public policy professional, and author of The Career Playbook for Christian Women, for a practical conversation about pursuing professional growth while remaining grounded in faith. Ellie shares that becoming a Christian didn't make her ambition disappear. Instead, it invited her to examine what was driving it. As she explains, "He wasn't calling me to be less ambitious, he was asking me to filter my ambition through my faith." That shift helped her see career growth as an opportunity to use her gifts, serve others, and glorify God. For the woman considering a bigger role or a new opportunity, Ellie offers encouragement: you don't have to know everything before taking a step forward. Recognize the experience you already bring and trust your ability to learn. She also explores how remembering God's purpose for your presence in the workplace can help you respond to feelings of inadequacy. The conversation becomes personal as Ellie recalls a season when she and her husband were both laid off shortly after moving into a new home. While the uncertainty was real, that season also strengthened their marriage and gave her the vision to launch her coaching business. She encourages women navigating setbacks to make room for grief, reflection, and prayer—and to ask God what He would have them do next. Ellie also challenges the assumption that excellent work will always speak for itself. Communicating your contributions can be done with humility. She shares a simple practice: keep a record of accomplishments and positive feedback so you can clearly explain both your work and its impact. Together, Melissa and Ellie explore how influence develops through credibility, meaningful relationships, and an understanding of how an organization works. Ellie explains the difference between mentors who offer guidance and sponsors who advocate for opportunities—and why following through on advice helps build trust. This conversation is about becoming more intentional in your career: bringing your ambitions before God, recognizing the value you contribute, and taking your next step with faith and confidence. In this episode, we get into: Bring your ambition before God. Examine your motives and pursue growth from a place of purpose. Communicate your value with humility. Keep track of your accomplishments and share the impact of your work. Influence grows through relationships and credibility. Build meaningful connections, seek guidance, and follow through. Ellie also shares how community has supported her through the responsibilities of work, leadership, and caring for an aging parent. Through 4word's Executive Women's Forum in San Diego and the DC executive cohort, she has found space to rest, receive encouragement, and connect with women navigating similar experiences. For the woman who feels stuck, Ellie recommends beginning with quiet reflection: sit with your Bible and a journal, invite God into the process, and ask what one step you can take. Her encouragement is clear: "She doesn't have to sit on the sidelines of her own career." 4word is excited to welcome Ellie to BOLDLY this October in Dallas, where her breakout session will explore building influence and navigating workplace dynamics from a godly perspective.

Jace and Rocky break down all 7 DC releases for the week of September 30, 2026. Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1 gives the Matriarch considerably more depth and motivation, but Jace and Rocky both struggle with how this more vulnerable, emotionally driven characterization fits with the formidable version of the character established in Tom King's run. Bleeding Hearts #8 expands the complexity of Dennis Camp's zombie world by introducing different perspectives within the undead themselves, while Jace and Rocky praise the shifting viewpoints and striking artwork even as Jace sees the issue largely as setup for what comes next. Poison Ivy #48 leaves both Jace and Rocky frustrated by what feels like a regression for Ivy after so much character development under G. Willow Wilson, with Jace questioning whether the Bad Seeds storyline can ultimately use this setback to push her forward again. Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 brings the nine-part crossover to a conclusion that Jace and Rocky find far less satisfying than its promising beginning, although Jace is much more enthusiastic about the numerous epilogues and the Superman stories they set up for the future. Zatanna #6 continues to divide the hosts, with Jace admiring Jamal Campbell's artwork but struggling to become invested in the expanding cast and magical lore, while Rocky remains enthusiastic about the Hidden City, its political intrigue and Campbell's continued world-building around Zatanna. Bizarro: Year None #3 earns praise from both Jace and Rocky for its artwork, but neither connects with the story, with Jace finding it forgettable between issues and Rocky still struggling to understand exactly what the series is trying to accomplish after reading the issue three times. Adventures of Superman: Book of El #12 closes Philip Kennedy Johnson's saga with Jace appreciating an earned resolution built around Superman's compassion and the larger mythology Johnson has added to the character, while Rocky remains unconvinced by this vision of Superman's future. There are no facsimiles or other reprints this week, but Jace and Rocky cover a substantial group of collected editions before ranking all 7 books and revealing their Books of the Week.

We start with Jarrod's thoughts on Supergirl, which leads us into a larger conversation about superhero movies, shorter theatrical windows, interconnected universes, and whether Marvel and DC would be better served by worrying less about the bigger universe and simply making good individual movies. 149Then it's time for this week's comics, including Lost Fantasy #2, Absolute Cassandra Cain #1, Detective Comics #1113, Absolute Green Arrow #5, The Hab #4, and Hellraiser: Resurrections #1. There aren't any complete disasters in the stack, but there are definitely a few books hanging on by a thread. 149 149 149That brings us to what we're calling our “light Picks of the Week.” Jarrod falls back on an old favorite with Savage Sword of Conan #16, while Steve goes with Viking Moon #4. Good comics? Absolutely. Books that blew us away? Not exactly. 149But then there's Lone Wolf and Cub Volume 17: The Will of the Fang.The series continues to ramp up as Ogami faces bounty hunters, former pupils, desperate peasants and the brutal winter itself. More importantly, we're beginning to see something unusual from Ogami: the stoic assassin is starting to crack. One confrontation in particular produces an emotional response unlike almost anything we've seen from him so far. 149 149By the end, we realize the truth: Lone Wolf and Cub was our real Pick of the Week. 149Join us for another week of comics, and now you can watch along with us again, too.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumSupport Page Chewing on PatreonAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe

A big factor is how quickly the brain gets the reward it's seeking.Dopamine is a key driver of addiction, and it's not a pleasure hormone like most people think. Dopamine plays a major role in wanting and seeking a reward, like opening the refrigerator and looking for something even though you're already full.One of the most powerful addictions today is smartphone addiction. Checking your texts, emails, and social media feeds can consume hours of your life. The average person checks their phone around 130 to 160 times per day! Smartphone addiction can become especially dangerous when it leads to behaviors like texting while driving.One way to help break an addiction is to add friction and time between yourself and the behavior. DATA:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2815034/ https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/delivery/ https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/abouthttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11150183/ Dr. Eric Berg, DC, Bio:Dr. Berg, DC, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

It was preparation for an invasion that might never come, and never did. Across Cold War Europe, stay-behind networks were established on the premise that Soviet forces might successfully invade and occupy sovereign territory. These clandestine organizations consisted of carefully vetted soldiers, intelligence officers, and everyday citizens tasked with remaining behind enemy lines to gather intelligence, conduct sabotage, and support resistance movements if their country were overrun. In neutral Sweden, the prime minister secretly authorized one such covert network in 1949 to mount guerrilla warfare against a potential Red Army occupation. Guest host Dr. Mark Jacobson speaks with Johan Wennström, author of The Stay Behinds: Sweden's Cold War Guardians, about this long-classified operation.
