On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by internet culture writer Jennifer Swann, whose recent piece for Wired featured the users who are still turning to Craigslist for apartment hunting and second-hand shopping, despite newer, flashier alternatives. In fact, it's precisely because Craigslist hasn't changed at all in the past 30 years that people keep coming back. While so many other early websites have been lost to time, how has Craigslist endured? This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay. Hosted on Acast.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson tackle a struggle many leaders, creatives, and believers quietly carry: striving for God instead of working with God.This episode features guest Nathaniel Vossler, former CFO turned founder of Rhema Now, an app designed to help believers engage in listening prayer, group intensives, and Spirit-led coaching. In early 2025, Nathaniel stepped away from the corporate world after sensing God's clear call into a new season—building this platform alongside his wife while raising their growing family in Idaho.Together, Shawn, Bob, and Nathaniel get practical about:Moving from pressure to presenceSaying no to good things that aren't God thingsCreating Spirit-led rhythms for your calendar and decisionsHearing God clearly in real business and life transitionsLetting go of ego, overcommitment, and burnoutBuilding sustainably with God, not just for HimShawn and Bob also share personal stories of burnout, overextension, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from learning to surrender control and trust God's pace. This episode is an honest, hope-filled invitation to trade striving for peace—and rediscover what it looks like to walk in true partnership with the Holy Spirit.If you're tired, driven, successful—but longing for peace—this conversation is for you.
A Note from James:Data is oil. Data is the gold of this AI revolution. Imagine you have an AI that has all of everybody's thoughts also—so it's not just learning on tweets and texts, it's learning on the 60,000 or so thoughts that 8 billion people think each day around the world. This sounds like amazing science fiction and magic and everything that one could ever have dreamed of… or it could be the end of the world. Episode Description:In this solo episode, James breaks down a recent AI development that made him pause for the first time: OpenAI's investment in a brain-computer interface startup called Merge Labs. He explains why data is the core asset in AI—and why the next frontier isn't better chatbots, but higher-bandwidth access to human intent, attention, and ultimately thought.James compares Merge Labs' approach with Neuralink, then walks through the practical upsides: medical breakthroughs, hands-free control of devices, and AI-assisted cognition in everyday life. But he also explores the uncomfortable implications: privacy, influence, and the risk that “thought data” could become the most valuable—and most dangerous—resource on Earth. What You'll Learn:Recognize why “data is oil” is still the most important frame for AI power Understand what brain-computer interfaces are, and how they differ across companies Think through real use cases (medical, device control, communication) before the hype takes over Identify the privacy line: what “training on your thoughts” could actually mean in practice Pressure-test your own optimism about AI by asking: “Once data is shared, can it be unshared?” Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Data is oil: why AI is really a data arms race [02:40] Utopia vs dystopia vs “newtopia” [03:16] The optimist's argument: tech usually helps more than it hurts [04:39] The news: OpenAI invests $250M into Merge Labs [05:29] Why the Sam Altman overlap matters (and why it's unusual) [06:02] What brain-computer interfaces actually do [06:22] Neuralink explained: reading intent from neurons [07:44] Writing signals back to the brain: the scary part (and the helpful part) [09:39] Merge Labs' approach: engineered neurons + ultrasound [12:47] Controlling devices by thought: the “thermostat from bed” future [14:35] Telepathy as technology: brain-to-brain messaging [16:17] Influence risk: persuasion and “writing” thoughts [18:45] The real moat: not software—data [19:55] The next dataset: 60,000 thoughts/day × 8B people [21:36] The irreversible trade: once data is handed over, it's gone [22:17] Why this kind of news is accelerating Additional Resources:OpenAI — “Investing in Merge Labs” (official announcement)WIRED — coverage of OpenAI's investment and Merge Labs' BCI approachTechCrunch — reporting on the Merge Labs seed round and valuationNeuralink — official siteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What happens when you realize in midlife that your brain has been playing by a completely different rulebook all along?In this episode of Message in the Middle, host Marianne DeMello-Smith sits down with Jorie Houlihan, Your Guide for the Dopamine Deprived™️—an ADHD life coach, speaker, and host of ADHD &... with Jorie Houlihan.After being diagnosed with ADHD at 49, Jorie's world began to make sense in ways it never had before. But the true transformation came not from the diagnosis itself, but from unlearning decades of self-blame and learning how to create systems that actually work for her unique brain.Together, Marianne and Jorie unpack:
As the Japanese police prepare for a raid on the Aum Shinrikyo compound, cult leader Shoko Asahara launches a desperate chemical weapons attack in downtown Tokyo. During the height of Monday morning rush hour, Aum terrorists target five commuter trains with sarin gas, killing 13 people and scarring the psyche of an entire nation.

You need stress to adapt, grow and survive, but at a certain point it becomes highly toxic to your body, creating a phenomenon called a "cell danger resposne", which is a survival state where your cells stop prioritizing healing and shift into defense mode instead, because it thinks you're under threat. Even though this is designed to protect you, in today's modern world, it actually creates disease. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Why chronis stress is actually a cellular problem (not just psychological) Why trauma, toxins, infections and overtraining all land in the same biological pathway of "stress" Why even the most powerful supplements fail when your nervous system is stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode Why healing isn't about doing more, but simply teaching your body that it's safe again.

Send us a textMany of us have complicated relationships with our parents and then wonder how much of our inherited traits we are passing to our own children; it's left up to us whether to nurture and grow those traits, or to discard them entirely. In his new book, “The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports,” Nick Thompson describes how his dad one day taking him to watch the New York City Marathon led him to a lifelong love of running. Nick, the CEO of the nationally renowned publication The Atlantic, and his dad followed similar paths through New England prep school and then Stanford, and both pursued running to varying degrees, but there their paths diverged. His dad's life devolved from being a Rhodes Scholar and working inside the Reagan administration to a baffling, hedonistic life overseas. All the while, Nick's journalistic career blossomed and he became the Editor-in-Chief of Wired magazine, and running became an anchor of stability. He consistently cranked out speedy marathons in the 2:40s, sandwiched around his own serious health scare. Then an opportunity to train under Nike coaches led him to breakthrough marathon times and a greater awareness of his importance as a husband and father. “The Running Ground” also includes stories about pioneers such as Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, and Suprabha Beckjord, a multiple-time winner of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon, a 3100-mile race run on a half-mile concrete sidewalk loop in Queens, New York. Nick has now ventured into the ultramarathon world, including breaking the previous 50K American 45-49 age group record previously held by the legendary Mike Wardian, running a 3:04:36. “The Running Ground” is a riveting read that deeply explores as only a career journalist can the complexities of why we run – the joys as well as the challenges and frustrations – and exploring that part of our life cycle that includes unraveling the mysteries about our parents. You can order both print and audiobook versions on Amazon. I also highly recommend subscribing to The Atlantic if you, like I do, want to read great in-depth reporting about the people and events that are shaping this world.Nick Thompsonnickthompson.comtheatlantic.comInstagram @nxthompson“The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports" is available on AmazonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

Mainstream economists and environmentalists share something in common. Both tend to tout efficiency -- think better light bulbs -- as the solution to climate change and all our other environmental problems. But the little-understood Jevons Paradox intervenes to overwhelm any progress that comes from improved efficiency. We skewer the efficiency gains of electric vehicles, lighting, and plenty of other sectors, and we cover ideas for avoiding the efficiency trap, including unveiling our new political platform, which is sure to take the country by storm.Sources/Links/Notes:Jason Barlow, "EVs Have Gotten Too Powerful," Wired, September 19, 2025.Russ Heaps, "Heaviest Electric Vehicles of 2025," Kelley Blue Book, April 7, 2025.Wikipedia article on energy efficiency in transport that includes a table that compares many modes of transportWilliam Stanley Jevons, The Coal Question: An Inquiry concerning the Progress of the Nation, and the Probable Exhaustion of our Coal-mines (London: Macmillan and Co., 1866). 2nd edition, revised.Tomas Kloucek, "Darkness as an Endangered Species: Why Light Pollution Matters," Earth Bridge, June 11, 2025.Scenic America, "Billboards in the Sky: The Hidden Culprit Behind Light Pollution," July 30, 2025.Prepared Mind, "Welcome to the Great Unraveling (Tapestry Cloud Style Reweaving Polycrisis into Polyopportunity," June 20, 2025.2,000 Watt SocietyCalculate your ecological footprint.Related episode(s) of Crazy Town:Episode 3, "One Point Twenty-One Jigawatts"Episode 19, "I Can't Drive...
In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Denny Giamazzo, leadership and resilience speaker, veteran, and author of the new bestselling book "Wired for Action." Denny shares his powerful journey from childhood trauma and foster care to becoming an infantry sergeant and successful software sales professional. This raw conversation explores authentic leadership principles forged in combat and tested in the corporate world, emphasizing the importance of taking action, building the right network, and leading with both strength and empathy. Episode Highlights: 1:08] - Overcoming Adversity Without Special Operations Background Denny discusses why he almost didn't write his book, feeling his story wasn't "special" enough without a Green Beret or SEAL background. His mentor John Doolittle convinced him that his relatability—surviving childhood abuse, foster care, and combat—makes his message even more powerful for everyday people facing their own battles. [10:05] - The Leadership Lesson That Changed Everything Fresh into a leadership role before deploying to Afghanistan, Denny shares his critical mistake of leading without empathy. He reveals the turning point when he learned that demanding respect doesn't work—you have to earn it by showing your team you genuinely care about them while maintaining high standards. [34:22] - Nearly Dying Before Deployment Denny recounts the harrowing story of almost dying twice during surgery from an infected wisdom tooth extraction at the end of basic training. This medical emergency kept him from deploying to Iraq but gave him time to earn his sergeant stripes ahead of peers who did deploy. [50:03] - The Power of Strategic Networking Denny explains why he turned down multiple introductions to Nick Lavery before finally meeting him in person at a speaking event. He emphasizes that networking isn't about kicking down doors or DMing everyone—it's about being strategic, adding value, and doing it the right way. Denny Giamazzo is a leadership, resilience, and business engagement speaker, bestselling author, and U.S. Army veteran (11 Bravo Infantry). Born two months premature and raised in foster care after experiencing childhood abuse and losing his mother to AIDS, Denny defied statistical odds to serve his country and build a successful career in software sales at companies like Oracle and Workday. He co-hosts the "Be the Standard" podcast and is a key member of Nick Lavery's Forge community. His new book "Wired for Action" is currently #1 in the military category on Amazon.

Stress feels louder, sleep feels harder, and your nervous system is fried. Welcome to midlife! In this episode, Joe Sheehey, founder of Cured Nutrition, breaks down the endocannabinoid system, how it impacts stress and sleep, and why it matters even more for women 35+. We also dive into exactly how to tinker with CBD, CBN, and microdosing THC in a practical, science-based way. No hype or overselling, just tools you can use in everyday lifeTimestamps:[1:38] Intro[6:15] Welcome Joe - can you break down the differences between CBD, CBN, and THC in practical terms?[11:20] Tell me more about the cannabinoid system and how supplementation actually works.[14:58] Is there any literature that shows that people become deficient in cannabinoids? [15:50] Talk to me about CBN[20:57] Is there a difference the way men respond vs women?[22:49] If somebody sees the product and it has THC in it, talk to me about the dosing. What is a microdose? What do you see to be most effective?[28:27] For women who are 35 years old, where does THC shine? Is it more about the relaxation or in how you deal with your daily stress? Are we taking it every day? Do you become dependent on it? Talk to me about it.[33:44] What are the biggest mistakes people make when trying to teach or even micro using it for the first time?[36:11] If somebody is really struggling with their sleep, would you recommend they just try CBD or just try CBN or do you think they should try a combination of everything?[39:55] How does CBN differ from melatonin or magnesium?[43:50] Do you find that people who practice healthier lifestyles that cannabinoids work more effectively and they need less of it?[58:19] What would you say to the person who said CBD or CBN did not work for me?[1:05:14] For the salve, how does it work to target the pain?

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson dive into a conversation every entrepreneur and business leader faces at some point: what do you do when you hit the wall and everything says quit?In this powerful episode, Shawn and Bob unpack the tension between calling, perseverance, and wisdom—sharing personal stories of long seasons, financial pressure, uncertainty, and learning when to push forward versus when to pivot. They explore how faith sustains leaders through cash-flow crises, industry volatility, and moments where giving up feels easier than pressing on.The conversation features a compelling testimony from Steve Smithwick, founder and president of MasterWall Incorporated. After losing his job with four young children at home, Steve stepped out in radical obedience to build a business from the ground up with minimal resources but deep conviction. Through years of financial hardship, near-collapse moments, and divine provision, Steve learned to rely on God's timing, voice, and faithfulness.This episode covers:What it means to build a business when everything feels stacked against youHow perseverance and faith work together in real-world leadershipThe importance of mentors, community, and godly counselWhy “hard pressed” doesn't mean finishedHow God often forges purpose through pressureIf you're facing a wall in your career, business, or calling, this episode offers courage, clarity, and hope. You may feel like you're failing—but you could actually be forging forward.
In this raw and powerful episode, Kristen sits down with Dr. Chris Lee—executive consultant, leadership expert, and nervous system educator—for a deeply human conversation that challenges how we think about emotional regulation, productivity, and performance.Together, they unpack why mindset alone isn't enough, why burnout is more than just a busy calendar, and how unresolved emotional patterns are silently influencing everything from our parenting to our leadership. Chris shares vulnerably from his own story of grief, trauma, and growth—and offers practical insights for learning how to regulate before you rewire.Whether you're a high performer stuck in overdrive or a parent trying to model emotional intelligence at home, this episode will shift your perspective in the best possible way.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why nervous system health is the real key to sustainable successThe difference between strategic burnout and emotional burnoutThe two most common dysregulated response types—and how to spot themHow to identify and work with your “parts” (IFS therapy breakdown)Why overstimulation (infobesity) is killing creativity and clarityChris's personal story of loss, self-leadership, and healingHow to model nervous system regulation for your kidsWhy self-care is leadership, not luxuryKey Takeaways:“If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower—you change the environment.”High performance without regulation is a fast track to burnout.Information is no longer behind the paywall—implementation is.Kids learn emotional regulation not by what we say, but by how we live.“Regulate first. Rewire second.”About the Guest:Dr. Chris Lee is a behavioral neuroscientist, executive coach, and founder of Elemental Shift Consulting, a leadership and wellness company helping individuals and organizations build emotionally intelligent, purpose-driven systems.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 12, 2026 is: brackish • BRACK-ish • adjective Brackish, meaning “somewhat salty,” usually describes water or bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and estuaries. The word can also mean “not appealing to the taste” or “repulsive.” // The river becomes brackish as we approach the tidemark. See the entry > Examples: “The blood-testing organs don't measure water levels but rather the concentration of salt, whose healthy range lies at almost exactly the same concentration as that of the brackish intertidal water in which vertebrates first evolved (which is about one-third as salty as seawater).” — Dan Samorodnitsky, Wired, 28 Sept. 2025 Did you know? When the word brackish first appeared in English in the 1500s, it simply meant “salty,” as did its Dutch parent brac. Then, as now, brackish was used to describe water that was a mixture of saltwater and freshwater, such as one encounters where a river meets the sea. Since that time, however, brackish has developed the additional meanings of “unpalatable” and “repulsive,” presumably because of the oozy, mucky, and sometimes stinky (or stinkyish, if you prefer)—not just salty—qualities of coastal estuaries and swamps.
The wired-but-tired feeling is incredibly common, especially for women, and it's one of the most frustrating places to be. You want energy during the day. You want sleep at night. But instead, it feels like your body is doing the exact opposite of what it should. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening behind the scenes when you feel wired but tired and why pushing harder, drinking more coffee, or just "trying to relax" usually makes things worse. When I see this pattern, it almost always points back to dysfunction in the HPA axis, which controls your adrenal function and cortisol output. A lot of women call this adrenal fatigue or adrenal insufficiency. Here's the key thing most people miss: You can feel exhausted and overstimulated at the same time. This often happens when: Your adrenal output is low, so you don't have sustained energy Your free cortisol is elevated, because life is stressful and you're constantly in reaction mode You're running on adrenaline instead of real energy That's why you may feel okay only when there's a fire to put out, then crash hard afterward. Cortisol can be measured through saliva or urine, but a single snapshot doesn't tell the whole story. This is where DUTCH testing is so powerful: It shows free cortisol across the entire day, not just one moment It shows metabolized cortisol, which saliva testing cannot measure It reveals whether your body is producing cortisol, using it properly, or struggling to keep up What I see over and over again with wired-but-tired women is low adrenal function paired with high free cortisol. You're stressed, busy, and carrying a lot, but your system no longer has the reserves to support it. This pattern doesn't just affect energy. It can disrupt: Sleep cycles and nighttime rest Hormone regulation Muscle recovery and rebuilding Immune function Mood, focus, and motivation This is why advice like "just eat healthier," "go to yoga," or "push through it" doesn't work. Those approaches don't address the root issue. The first step is understanding what your body is actually doing. That's why I rely so heavily on DUTCH testing. It gives us a clear roadmap instead of guessing. From there, we can build the right plan for you, whether that means: Supporting protein and mineral intake Repairing sleep and circadian rhythms Addressing stress physiology in a way your body can actually respond to Rebuilding adrenal resilience instead of draining it further If you're stuck in that Groundhog Day cycle of exhaustion and overstimulation, this is your sign to stop guessing and start testing.

Episode Page Angie Callen — founder of Career Bend, host of No More Mondays, and author of Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries — shares why choosing engineering school became her favorite mistake. In this episode, Angie reflects on becoming an engineer despite being deeply people-oriented, how that decision shaped her thinking, and why mistakes that “don't fit” often unlock clarity, confidence, and unexpected opportunity. Mark and Angie discuss career transitions, Sunday Scaries, confidence built through action (not perfection), the difference between empathy and compassion, and why so many high performers stay stuck in roles that no longer align with who they are. This conversation explores how mistakes can become catalysts — not failures — and why meaningful work starts with understanding yourself, not following default paths.
On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with hardcore punk icon Harley Flanagan, founder of Cro Mags, for a raw and wide ranging conversation on Lipps Service. From Harley's chaotic early life and growing up in 1970s New York City to encounters with Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, and Anthony Bourdain, the interview traces the cultural collision that shaped one of hardcore's most influential figures. Harley dives into his first musical memories, discovering punk rock and The Clash, starting out as a drummer, and surviving the Lower East Side scene as it exploded. He reflects on early bands like The Stimulators, the formation of Cro Mags, and the possibility of reunions, while also discussing new Cro Mags music. The episode closes with Harley's top five bass players and top five metal records, making this a must-listen deep dive into punk, metal, and New York underground history.Timestamps: 0:00:46 - Wired for chaos 00:01:45 - Allen Ginsberg 00:04:00 - The documentary 00:07:14 - Anthony Bourdain00:11:06 - Growing up in New York00:17:18 - Warhol! 00:18:19 - Introduction to punk rock 00:22:37- First musical memory, The Clash 00:24:00 - On being a drummer first 00:24:31 - The Lower East Side in the 70s 00:36:00 - The stimulators 00:37:15 - Early recordings 00:39:25 - Having a hit out for Harley00:44:12 - The formation of the Cro Mags 00:47:30 - The downfalls of the band 00:48:00 - Possible reunion?00:49:51 - The night at Webster hall1:00:21 - New cro mags music 1:01:52 - Top 5 bass players 1:06:22 - Top 5 metal records
President Trump's saber rattling on Greenland has escalated with threats of military invasion, annexation or purchase of the world's largest island. Today, Trump said that the U.S. would take Greenland, "whether they like it or not." This week, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller threatened, “The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States. There is no need to even think or talk about this in the context that you're asking of a military operation. Nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.” In our latest, we talk with journalist Adam Federman about recent developments around Greenland. Bio//Adam Federman is a reporting fellow with Type Investigations who has written widely on environmental policy, public lands, the Arctic and corporate and police spying on environmental activists. He has written for In These Times, Politico Magazine, The Washington Post, Wired, Slate, The Nation, and other publications. --------------------------------
Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Tom Hardin—better known as Tipper X—went from Wharton to hedge funds, then into a nightmare that turned into one of the most shocking comeback stories on Wall Street. After getting pulled into the world of insider trading, Tom was approached by the FBI and became a covert cooperator in Operation Perfect Hedge, helping build more than 20 cases in what became the largest insider-trading investigation of a generation.In this episode, Tom takes us inside the real-life thriller: the pressure, the rationalizations, the moment the FBI confronted him, and what it's actually like to wear a wire and get people talking. We also talk about the cost to family, reputation, and identity—and how Tom rebuilt his life into a global speaking career focused on ethics, compliance, and staying off the slippery slope.

ABOUT POLAR WARPOLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.ABOUT KENNETH R. ROSENKenneth R. Rosen is the recipient of a Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism and the Bayeux-Calvados Award for War Correspondents, a two-time finalist for the Livingston Award for his work in Syria and Iraq, and an Ira A.

We're taking a break this week while Philip recovers from the 'double-whammy' of flu and COVID boosters. (Science works, but sometimes it makes you nap!) However, we couldn't let January 7th pass unnoticed. On this day in 1610, Galileo first spotted Jupiter's moon, Io. To celebrate, we've unlocked the vault for an encore of one of our most popular episodes ever. Strap in for a tour of a lava-covered world with Robin Andrews in... "Walking on IO". ---- DR. ROBIN GEORGE ANDREWS, science writer for The NY Times, National Geographic, Scientific American, and many more, joins us with an IF that'll keep you on your feet: What The IF we could walk on Jupiter's ultra volcanic moon, IO? Would you walk on a hot pizza? If so, you're ready for the trip! The views of Jupiter would be spectacular, but bring your kevlar umbrella because lava's gonna come flyin' out of the sky. One of the most spectacular places in the solar system, Io is also terribly mysterious, bizarre, and confusing to even the greatest scientists of our time. Pack your bags, bring some galoshes, and let's go! --- Robin Andrews is a doctor of experimental volcanology, a full-time freelance science journalist, a part-time photographer, a scientific consultant, an occasional lecturer, public speaker and explain-how-volcanoes-work TV guest, as well as a pending author of a rather curious book. He can tell you exactly how powerful the Death Star is, how cryovolcanoes on alien worlds work, why a supervolcano probably isn't what you think it is, and why the Moon is shrinking. His work has appeared in THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE ATLANTIC, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, EARTHER, GIZMODO, FORBES, THE VERGE, ATLAS OBSCURA, DISCOVER MAGAZINE, WIRED and elsewhere.

On today's episode — New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani ran on an ambitious progressive agenda, but dismantling the deeply entrenched and largely self-governing New York City Police Department may not be part of the plan. In a recent Wired investigation, journalist Ali Winston examines what Mamdani's early governing choices signal about the future of policing and surveillance in the city. Mamdani surprised supporters by asking current Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to remain after his inauguration. A technocrat and heir to a major real estate fortune, Tisch sharply disagrees with Mamdani on key issues, from bail reform and policing policy to geopolitical questions that routinely surface on New York City streets. While Mamdani is openly pro-Palestinian, Tisch's family are influential figures in the Israel lobby. One area where their paths may converge is the NYPD's vast surveillance infrastructure. Built up over decades and largely shielded from public oversight, the department's network of cameras, data systems, and intelligence-sharing tools has turned New York into one of the most heavily monitored cities in the country.

On the afternoon of August 23, 2003, Erie, Pennsylvania pizza delivery driver Brian Wells walked into the local branch of the PNC Bank and handed the teller a note warning that he had a bomb and they had fifteen minutes to hand over $250,000 or it would detonate. Unable to access the vault, the teller gave Wells all the cash on hand and he left as the employees triggered the emergency protocol.Fifteen minutes later, Wells was spotted by police and placed under arrest. However, when they went to put handcuffs on the suspects, the officers discovered that Wells did indeed have an explosive device on him—it was strapped to his neck and rigged to explode. Officers cleared the area, but failed to alert the bomb squad in time and the device eventually exploded, killing Wells just three minutes before the bomb squad arrived.The bizarre death of Brian Wells seemed to bring his brief criminal career to an end; yet as investigators began digging into the background of the delivery driver-turned-bank robber, they discovered the plot to rob the PNC Bank was far more elaborate than anyone had imagined.

John Assaraf is a renowned entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, neuroscience expert, and founder of NeuroGym. With a career spanning over four decades, John has built multiple multi-million-dollar companies and dedicated his life to helping millions break through self-imposed limits. He is recognized for translating complex neuroscience into practical strategies for personal and professional growth, focusing on the power of identity, mindset, and the mechanics of the brain. John's mission is to empower others to engineer success from the inside out and unlock their full potential. Takeaways: Identity Drives Change: John emphasizes that true, lasting change begins with transforming your identity—how you see yourself—since you will never outperform your own self-image. The Brain is Wired for Safety, Not Success: Our brains are naturally designed to keep us safe and avoid pain, not to achieve success. Recognizing and consciously working with this wiring is critical to overcoming self-sabotage and achieving new levels. Upgrade Your Inner Software: Just like technology, your beliefs, habits, and identity are ‘software' that can be intentionally upgraded through practice, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—leading to greater achievement in all areas of life. Sound Bytes: “We will never, ever, ever outperform our hidden self-image of ourselves.” “Our brain is wired to keep us safe, not successful.” “You can practice a new identity the same way a basketball player practices free throws—until it becomes automatic.” Connect & Discover John: Website: johnassaraf.com Facebook: @johnassarafpage Instagram: @johnassaraf X: @johnassaraf LinkedIn: @johnassaraf YouTube: @JohnAssaraf Website: myneurogym.com

▶︎▶︎Preorder my new book The Connection Code: https://theconnectioncodebook.com/Your circadian rhythm controls far more than sleep. It regulates your nervous system, hormones, metabolism, immune response, mood, and brain function. When it's disrupted, it's only nature for the entire system to feel off. Modern lighting, screens, and indoor living have quietly pulled our bodies out of its natural rhythm, which keeps the nervous system stuck in stress mode even when life slows down.In this episode, I break down why circadian rhythm is the foundation of nervous system regulation and how light acts as the primary signal that keeps your body in sync. I walk you through a simple, science-backed circadian rhythm reset using morning, midday, and evening light to help your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and back into balance. No perfection required, no extreme routines — just practical tools that work with your biology instead of against it.What You'll Learn:Why circadian rhythm is the master regulator of the nervous systemHow circadian disruption contributes to anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and hormone imbalanceThe connection between light exposure and cortisol, serotonin, and melatoninHow poor light timing keeps the nervous system in chronic stress modeWhy blue and white light at night interfere with sleep, recovery, and nervous system repairHow light guides brainwave states for focus, creativity, and deep sleepSimple morning, midday, and evening light habits for a circadian rhythm resetHow restoring rhythm supports energy, mood stability, immune health, and emotional regulationWhy consistency and timing matter more than intensity or perfectionResources:Preorder The Connection Code: https://theconnectioncodebook.com/My FREE resource to reset your circadian rhythm: https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/circadian-rhythm-reset My favorite red light products: https://drmelissasonners.com/red-light-guide/ Previous episode on circadian rhythm and light tracking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA-lOK6jgno

This time around, we have an experimental format, featuring the first episode of a brand-new podcast launching next week, Drug Story. I rarely feature episodes from other shows, but I think this one is well worth your time. It changed how I think about allergies, especially as someone who carries an EpiPen and has wondered: why on earth have food allergies seemed to skyrocket in the last few decades?Drug Story is a podcast that tells the story of the disease business, one drug at a time. Each episode explores one disease and one drug, and it kicks off with EpiPen and food allergies. A quick teaser: What if I told you that a well-meaning medical recommendation may have caused millions of kids to develop food allergies?Make sure to subscribe to Drug Story on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also simply go to DrugStory.co and learn more.The host is Thomas Goetz. He is a senior impact fellow at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, and much earlier, Thomas was the executive editor at WIRED, which he led to a dozen National Magazine Awards from 2001 to 2013. His writing has been repeatedly selected for the Best American Science Writing and Best Technology Writing anthologies.P.S.

What if the problem isn't you—but the idea that there's only one "right" way to meditate? In this episode, DJ Cashmere talks with meditation teacher Jeff Warren about how to build a mindfulness practice that actually fits your brain, nervous system, and life. Drawing from Jeff's experience with ADHD and bipolar disorder—and DJ's reflections on OCD and neurodiversity in his family—they explore why there's no such thing as a truly neurotypical mind, and why one-size-fits-all meditation advice often falls short. Rather than prescribing a single approach, Jeff emphasizes experimentation: noticing what settles you, what feels intolerable, and what helps you come back to presence. That might mean focusing on the breath, opening awareness, moving the body, journaling, or simply taking a walk. They return repeatedly to a simple litmus test for any practice: Is this helping me be here? And they frame that question through three core skills of mindfulness—clarity, concentration, and equanimity—which can be cultivated in many different ways. This episode is especially helpful if you've ever felt restless, frustrated, or "bad" at meditation—and are looking for a more flexible, compassionate way to practice.
