It's been a minute! After taking a little break, I'm back and, naturally, there is A LOT to talk about.I started this episode by talking about what I think a championship team actually looks and feels like, and what separates a team that can compete from a team that can actually win it all.From there, we've got plenty of hot topics: DeWanna Bonner joining the Atlanta Dream, Kate Martin being waived and where I'd like to see her go next, Nneka Ogwumike's retirement and what's going on with the Sparks, plus a quick conversation about the Mercury and some of their struggles this season.I also talked about A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum not joining Team USA for the World Cup, shared some pre-World Cup thoughts, and then went team-by-team through the playoff field. What do I love about each team? What could get them in trouble? And what am I most excited to see once the playoffs start?And because apparently that wasn't enough, there's a hot take, a little Portland Fire conversation (because yes, I already think they could be a playoff team next season), and some love for Bridget Carleton after her performance against the Lynx and why I thought she stepped into an All-Star mindset.Basically… I took a break, the WNBA kept moving, and now we have some catching up to do.-Follow me on social media:https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5-Chapters:00:00 Intro00:17 Topics for the episode & Housekeeping 02:23 Feeling a championship in the air03:30 Hot Topics | DeWanna Bonner to the Dream06:38 Kate Martin | Nneka Ogwumike & Thoughts on the Sparks 10:40 The Mercury? 12:41 Circling back on the Sparks & Kate 18:00 A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum | Choosing Health 21:24 Pre-World Cup Thoughts23:29 Checklist to Winning a Chip28:18 Lynx36:18 Valkyries 40:47 Aces 45:47 Fever 51:17 Dream56:35 Liberty 1:04:06 Mystics 1:08:27 Wings 1:12:48 MY HOTTEST TAKE01:13:17 Portland Fire (I Love Y'all for real)1:16:24 Bridget Carleton's Defense is Missed

Dive into our literary analysis of House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas, the long-awaited third novel in the bestselling Crescent City series. In this season, we break down House of Flame and Shadow through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Bryce Quinlan, Hunt Athalar, Ruhn Danaan, Lidia Cervos, and the novel's most pivotal character arcs, relationships, and world-building. We explore Sarah J. Maas's use of symbolism, mythology, foreshadowing, narrative structure, and character development while examining the book's biggest themes, including fate, power, identity, sacrifice, love, and redemption. Whether you're searching for a House of Flame and Shadow recap, Crescent City theories, Sarah J. Maas Easter eggs, Maasverse connections, ACOTAR crossovers, or in-depth literary analysis, this season is your complete companion to one of the most talked-about fantasy books of the year. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, as well as the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, Frost and Starlight, and A Court of Silver Flames). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: Ithan heads to the House of Flame and Shadow to seek a necromancer to raise Sigrid from the dead, and in the process becomes Jesiba Roga's unwilling assistant. Bryce returns from Prythian, only to be caged like an animal in the Autumn King's estate. Lidia puts her plan into motion, breaking Ruhn, Hunt and Baxian from the Asteri's palace and destroying the Spine of Pangera with the help of Ophion and Irythis. But her best laid plans take a turn, requiring the males to fly for the Depth Charger while Lidia faces down the wolves she once led, knowing it'll be her doom. The question we ask ourselves this week: Now that we're in part 2 of HOFAS, how have the themes of the story and character arcs changed or remained the same?

August is a Fallow Month for us, so we are dialing back on some of our activities while we focus our attention on coursework production, curriculum development, and - most importantly - hands-on herbalism in the field, kitchen, and apothecary.If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.This week we're airing a replay of episode 230: Acknowledging Complexity Is Not Gatekeeping.When you're an herbalist, it's normal to get questions from people about herbs. Usually they're thinking that it's a simple question, and expecting a simple response: “What's good for IBS?” “Chamomile.” But the truth is a lot more complex than that! When you learn about herbalism, you come to understand that there are no herbs “for” any disease state. Instead, there are herbs who can exert influences on the body, and those may match well (or poorly) with the specific state of an individual person. So you become less enthusiastic about simply giving someone the name of an herb when they ask “what'll work for…?”This dynamic is even more pronounced on social media. Whether in an herbalism discussion group or in direct messages from your followers, an herbalist on social media will see lots of these types of questions – and lots of those one-word responses, too! But people don't take the names of herbs – they take herbs! Which means they prepare tea (using this much plant matter for that much water), or they take tincture (made at this or that herb:menstruum ratio), or they get a supplement (made by this or that brand)… And so even if you give someone the name of a plant, have you really helped them figure out how to take it? How much to take? How often, for how long? All those details can make or break the success of an intervention.When you get that kind of question, you want to give a helpful answer – and that can mean an answer that's quite different from what the asker expects. Instead of simply listing names of herbs, try giving an insight into your own herbal thought process! For example, if they're asking about “herbs for headaches”, you can briefly describe various patterns that can cause headache – heat, dryness, tension, stagnation, etc – and help them identify what kind of headache they have.From there, you can suggest herbs to experiment with – and that's an important phrase, “to experiment with”! Helping people understand that working with herbs involves multiple rounds of self-experimentation is a great service you can provide.It takes a little more time to construct a response like this, but it's significantly more helpful to the asker. They might expect you to simply know the right herb for them, and if you just say “it depends and it's complicated”, that can feel like you're gatekeeping. But if you share your own decision-making process, you both teach them how to think like an herbalist (even just a little bit), and you help them understand you're not holding out on them!Looking to improve your skills as an herbalist and clinician?

“Hitler had to abolish democracy to take over Berlin.” — Wendy Lesser “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I Am a Berliner), JFK famously said in West Berlin on June 26, 1963, in the face of Soviet imperial tyranny. Today, Wendy Lesser is offering the same defiance in her new book Berlin Before and After. Only Lesser offers a cautionary mirror for our times of not just post-Soviet Putin but also wannabe-tyrants like Trump. Lesser's loving portrait of Berlin is of a free city. She reminds us that even in Germany's darkest hour, Berlin never actually went Nazi. The city voted left up to and including 1933, so Hitler had to abolish democracy to take it over. Nor, Lesser argues, was Nazism a reaction to Weimar Berlin's Cabaret-style nightlife, any more than Trump is a reaction to wokeness. Economic forces, not cultural ones, she insists, enable dictators. Today's Berlin, as a city that memorializes its own crimes, offers America an urban lesson in acknowledging historical guilt. That's what makes Berlin such a defiant beacon of freedom in our authoritarian age. There are more urbane cities than Berlin, but none quite as dedicated to freedom. Go there and/or read Berlin Before and After. Today we should all be Berliners. Five Takeaways • Our Own 1929 — or 1932? The book began as a love letter to the Berlin Lesser adopted in 2003 — the everywhere writer of Berkeley, New York, and Berlin, against Lampedusa the ultimate somewhere, who never left Sicily and carried Shakespeare through the coffee houses of Palermo. But as she wrote, America's condition worsened: “We were not only in our own 1929, but perhaps in 1930, '31, or even '32 — verging on our own descent into frightening dictatorship.” Hence the subtitle's cautionary mirror — though history, she insists, never exactly repeats itself, and the American analogies came unforced, surfacing every thirty or forty pages without hammering. Being an everywhere, she says, doesn't make you write better — Lampedusa proves that — “but it improves your life,” and it gave her the subjects her native California never could.• Berlin Never Went Nazi. The episode's revelation: the city of Weimar flamboyance never gave the Nazis a majority — Berlin voted left up to and including 1933, and “Hitler had to abolish democracy to take over Berlin.” From which follows her sharpest argument: Nazism was not a backlash against Berlin's sexual and artistic freedoms, “just as I do not see the election of Trump as a reaction to so-called wokeness or trans rights. Cultural manifestations do not cause such government changes. Economic forces do” — wealth gaps, regional deprivation, the east feeling second-class, then and now (the AfD's heartland). The direct equivalences are rhetorical: America's poisoned-blood language on immigrants comes “straight from the Goebbels playbook,” and the rights that flowered in twenties Germany were “instantly squished” in the thirties. As for today: the AfD polls high before Berlin's September city elections, but the firewall holds — and the party is formally flagged by German intelligence as constitutionally dangerous. Andrew's question stands: any vaccines for this thing?• 1929: The Year Everything Premiered. Why that year: Grosz, Sander, and Otto Dix at their peak; Brecht and Piscator both premiering; All Quiet on the Western Front, the underrated Grand Hotel, and Berlin Alexanderplatz in the bookshops — plus Thomas Mann's Mario and the Magician, the novella that predicted fascism; Billy Wilder still a weekly-paper journalist shooting his first film; and Christopher Isherwood arriving on the first visit that became Goodbye to Berlin and, via Broadway, Cabaret. “Only in retrospect do we see these things as major.” The culture flourished beside economic and political chaos — “having a terrible government is not inconsistent with producing good culture. Look at nineteenth-century Russia” — and when the chaos won, the exiles washed up in the German ghetto of Los Angeles: Brecht (on the beach, per this week's Baerwald episode), Döblin, Mann. Many went back — Brecht in 1949, Piscator after — because in Hollywood and New York they “couldn't live on the thin slice of culture,” a homesickness Lesser saw again in Berkeley's own Czesław Miłosz, watching Americans like children playing in a sandbox.• After Means 1989. The title's twist: the After is not the Nazis' arrival but the Wall's fall. The dark half-century — twelve years of Reich, then “with barely a pause to take a breath” the divided city — is deliberately skipped: “the city is going to tell you what happened,” through what its monuments confess, like Bebelplatz's memorial to the burned books of May 1933. Berlin now wears its freedom knowingly: graffiti flourishes precisely because speech was twice policed; May Day's bottle-throwing is tolerated and swept up; Freiheit arrives like the choral finale of Beethoven's Ninth — Andrew's analogy, which she embraced with irony, since “nobody is totally free these days.” The Wall's hothouse island remains separate from Germany half a century on. And the city stays cinematic to the point of unreality — Wings of Desire's angels in the actual Staatsbibliothek (“I thought it was just a set”), Babylon Berlin's set-choosers clearing away the present — with a thriller shelf to match: Deighton's Berlin Game (freshly reread on his death), le Carré's Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Herron, McEwan, Schneider's Wall Jumper.• A Mirror That Might Become Useful. Berlin's deepest lesson is for after the fall: it is the city that acknowledges its bad deeds — monuments and plaques saying this is where we did it — while America “likes to brush it all aside and act like we're always the heroes.” Andrew's pushback landed: Montgomery, Bryan Stevenson's lynching memorial, the African American Museum — “You're right. I'm not being fair.” But the qualification sharpens rather than sinks the thesis: “we do not have a history yet like Holocaust Germany or even Berlin Wall Germany… It's a mirror that might become useful if the worst comes about.” Meanwhile Berlin models the livable city: rent control the voters wanted to push all the way to expropriation, transit worth “ecstasies,” and a constitutional welfare clause promising a dignified existence — economic rights our Bill of Rights never mentions. The book ends aboard the M29 bus, top deck, regular fare, from the Maybachufer's twice-weekly market (running since before 1929) across the old West to Grunewald. “Maybe you're going to be made into a Berlin angel.” “A great fate.” About the Guest Wendy Lesser is the founding editor of The Threepenny Review, the celebrated Berkeley literary quarterly, and the author of a novel and twelve works of nonfiction, including You Say to Brick: The Life of Louis Kahn (winner of the Marfield Prize), Why I Read, and Scandinavian Noir.

BEEF Let's start with a little good news. On Monday, the border in Arizona was opened for beef cattle. Monday had 716 head presented for inspection. 692 were approved with 24 rejected. Similar numbers on Tuesday with 634 inspected, 588 approved and 46 rejected. Estimated weekly crossing is expected to be about 3,000 head per week. Not enough to make a big change but it is progress. A second crossing will open in New Mexico in 30 days as long as Arizona goes well. The current beef market, however, is high and still moving higher. Weekly beef harvest continues restrained, 523K head last week, up from 517K the week prior. With one more week running up to Labor Day and the end of the summer season, back to school, vacations over, I do think we will see declines in beef pricing. But we've got to get there. Middle meats continue to lead the way higher with ribeyes, tenderloins, and strips all strongly moving higher. Chucks and rounds moving up, too. Grinds are moving higher and we'll wait to see if additional tariff-free imported lean beef will have any effect on pricing. I'd keep the same advice I've been saying for a while now. Stay ahead of your needs simply because inventories are tight, but I would not get too far ahead as I do expect a market correction after Labor Day. POULTRY The recent pattern is done, at least for now. Wings are moving a bit lower, while boneless skinless random breasts and tenders are holding steady for the week. Production continues strong staying ahead of last year which I think should protect us from any surge in chicken moving into fall. On the avian flu beat, four new cases affecting 32K birds. GRAINS It seems war and international unrest is good for grain prices. Corn closed today at $5.31, the highest close in three years. We flirted with $5 a few months ago; now it's here and we'll see where this will end. Still plenty of corn and new crop coming in so will demand keep these prices up. Soy and wheat both up similarly to corn. I do expect we will see firming prices in oil and flour. PORK Pork bellies continue to decline, today's close $148, down from last week's $154. I do expect this to continue to decline heading into fall. Loins, butts, ribs, minimal movement. DAIRY Another mixed week on the CME. Through Thursday's close, barrel is up 1, block declines again, down 5, and butter up 1. Not much to push these markets higher, plenty of raw material available.

Liverpool, England's Anathema are one of the bedrocks of the Radical Research musical adventure. It's why we've chosen to commemorate our 150th episode with a two-part dive into their entire catalog, from the harrowing wretchedness of their early demo work to the graceful final statement of 2017's The Optimist. We rejoice and weep, praise and cry, as we explore all of their 1990s output in episode 1 of this 2-part indulgence. Note I: As explained in this episode, we aren't giving short shrift (whatever shrift is!) to the Eternity album. It's just that we covered it in great detail on episode 125, which you can find right here: https://www.radicalresearch.org/episode-125-do-you-think-were-forever-anathemas-eternity/ Note II: We've been doing this for years now, and after 150 episodes, Jeff still can't get it right: the lack of fidelity on his voice in the first half of this episode is because he had the microphone backwards. He finally corrects this around minute 59. C'mon, Wagner, get with the program already! Note III: Jeff's Voivod book, ‘Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,' is now available. You can purchase a copy of the 540-page, 3-pound behemoth HERE: radicalresearch.org/voivod Note IV: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage. We are offering tiered subscription levels for those who want a set-it-and-forget-it donation option.

What do you do when your sins feel too heavy to carry, when your closest friends turn against you, or when you look at the world and wonder why the wicked seem to prosper while the faithful suffer? In Psalms 49–101, the psalmists give voice to our rawest cries, leading us from the depths of personal brokenness straight into the healing sanctuary of God. Summary: In this moving exploration of Psalms 49–101, we walk through the second major collection of the Hebrew Psalter. Moving between searing prayers of confession and breathtaking anthems of praise, these chapters provide an emotional and spiritual compass for every trial of mortality. The Agony of Confession: We dissect Psalm 51, David's brokenhearted plea after Nathan confronted him regarding Bathsheba. We examine what it means to offer a "broken and a contrite heart," asking God not just for a pardon, but to "create in me a clean heart". The Sting of Betrayal: In Psalm 55, we explore David's lament over being betrayed not by an open enemy, but by an equal and trusted companion—a passage that powerfully foreshadows Judas's betrayal of Jesus Christ. Envy and the Sanctuary Perspective: We study Asaph's crisis of faith in Psalm 73, where his feet almost slipped while envying the ease of the worldly—until he entered the sanctuary of God and understood their end. Tears in a Bottle & God's Memory: We dive into Psalm 56, discovering the tender truth that God numbers our wanderings, stores our tears in His bottle, and never leaves us to face mortality alone. Divine Potential and Council: We analyze Psalm 82, exploring the divine council and the Savior's quotation of verse 6 ("Ye are gods") to understand the balance between human humility and divine heritage. Entering His Gates with Praise: We conclude with the exuberant joy of Psalm 100, examining the seven invitations to worship and the remarkable story of how the Spirit prompted B. H. Roberts to read this exact psalm in a moment of public trial. Call-to-Action: When your heart feels overwhelmed, David pleads: "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I" (Psalm 61:2).
