Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #647 is another hour of inventive, dynamic visionary acoustic improvised music brought to you by Mariam Massaro and Bob Sherwood of the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, double flute, mandolin and ukulele and Bob on piano. Today's show is recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-November of 2025 and begins with the lush, relaxed and relaxing “Powered By The Almighty In The Avenues Of Light”, a deep, reverently emotional acoustic guitar ballad with pretty, minimalist ostinatos from Bob on piano. We pick up the pace with the driving, celebratory “Snow Queen Came Last Night”, a fine bit of driving, tight ukulele and storytelling from Mariam and a very cool piano setup from Bob that stretches into the powerful flute-and-vocal conversation “Oh, How The Wind Blows In”, featuring fine, impassioned work from Mariam over Bob's powerfully emotive piano cadences. “Sparkling Rays From The Starry Realms” is a frenetic, midnight-colored air created around Mariam's driving, abandoned, chiming mandolin that veers from hard blues to unfettered Eastern European folk in an unsettled, inspired musical journey. Mariam's overtone-producing double flute makes its appearance for the meteorologically active “Oh The Rain”, all wind and passing squalls explained in a driving, electronically treated piano-vocal-Native flute workout with outstanding vocals and piano and “Sail To The Realms”, a moody, evocative-of-adventure song from Mariam's “Gaea Star Crystal” LP is given a duo treatment with a lovely vocal from Mariam over her shimmering acoustic guitar and Bob's tightly controlled classical piano cadences. “Sing Down The Walls” another song from “Gaea Star Crystal” is taken as a Verdian opera overture highlighting Mariam's tight, expressive vocal. We conclude today's show with the active, imaginative, sprawling “Essence Of Life”, a driving rocker built on sheets of driving acoustic guitar and percussive, tight piano.

This podcast episode delves into the profound topic of forgiveness, featuring an enlightening discussion with Dr. Ev Worthington, a clinical psychologist renowned for his extensive research in this field. The salient point of our dialogue revolves around the intricacies of forgiveness, particularly the distinction between decisional and emotional forgiveness. Dr. Worthington elucidates how decisional forgiveness entails a conscious choice to refrain from seeking revenge and to regard the offender as a valuable individual, while emotional forgiveness involves the transformation of negative sentiments into positive feelings. We further explore the REACH model, a structured approach designed to facilitate emotional forgiveness, and its applicability across diverse cultural contexts. This episode promises to offer listeners invaluable insights into the mechanisms of forgiveness and its significance in personal and interpersonal healing.Takeaways: Back Channel with Foth/The importance of understanding one's role and expectations when serving on a board cannot be overstated, as clarity facilitates effective contributions. Decisional forgiveness involves making a conscious choice to treat individuals as valuable despite past grievances, promoting emotional healing. Emotional forgiveness is a process of replacing negative emotions with positive feelings, which can take time and effort to achieve. The R.E.A.C.H. model provides a structured approach to forgiveness, emphasizing recall, empathy, altruistic gift, commitment, and holding onto forgiveness as essential steps. Cross-cultural applicability of forgiveness interventions has been demonstrated, indicating their effectiveness across diverse populations and contexts. Self-forgiveness is crucial for mental well-being, and it involves addressing moral guilt, social consequences, and personal identity issues.

After the high emotion of "Promicide," couldn't we all use a little breather? (Also, let's be real: in a 23-episode season, you can't go straight from prom to commencement anyway.) Dawson is very slowly getting used to the idea of having lost Gretchen when Gale announces that she's leaving town, so he better try to get what closure he can in a hurry. Joey's moping around her Yacht Club shift when good old Mr. Kubelik from Worthington asks her to bring that charming boyfriend of hers to an imminent freshmen's mixer because Mr. Kubelik wants to introduce Pacey to the Dean of Admissions. Pacey, dying of shame, agrees to go, maybe even letting himself get as hopeful as Joey about what this invitation could mean. Jen comes home to a realtor showing Grams's house to prospective buyers, which is how she learns that Grams plans to use the proceeds to send Jen to college and live on what's left at an apparently not very nice retirement community. Jen immediately decides she's not going to go, so it falls to Jack to take a break from his very offscreen dates with Tobey to suggest there's another solution. Don't stress about losing us -- we're right here with a new episode on "Separation Anxiety"! JOIN THE AWT CLUB

The people of Stillwater, Oklahoma, have had enough. Hundreds gathered outside the Payne County Courthouse demanding accountability after Judge Susan Worthington allowed a violent sexual predator to avoid prison. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Butler, charged with eleven felonies including rape, attempted rape, and strangulation, received no prison time under Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Law. Despite partial video evidence and one victim requiring neck surgery, Judge Worthington ruled that Butler qualified for rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The potential 78-year sentence vanished, replaced by a single year of supervision, therapy, and a curfew. The decision ignited outrage across the state. Tribal victim services, survivors, parents, and students rallied together on the courthouse steps, chanting for justice and calling for Judge Worthington's removal. State lawmakers labeled the ruling “unacceptable” and vowed to review how the system failed so catastrophically. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, Tony breaks down the story that's shaken Stillwater to its core — how a judge's compassion turned into negligence, how leniency for violent predators endangers every community, and why the public's outrage might finally force real reform. We'll examine the judicial system that let this happen, the decades-long ties that bind small-town power networks, and the growing call to close legal loopholes that allow violent offenders to hide behind “youthful offender” status. This isn't about politics. It's about safety. Because when the system starts protecting predators instead of people, it's not justice anymore — it's failure in a robe. Watch the full breakdown and join the conversation in the comments.

The announcement by Erika Kirk – the widow of assassinated political activist Charlie Kirk – that she forgave her husband's killer, has led many to question the nature of Christian forgiveness. Granting forgiveness can seem hard for the smallest of crimes, let alone the murder of a close family member, so how can other people follow Erika's example? One person who sadly knows better than most is Professor Everett Worthington. Prof. Worthington is Professor Emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University and a clinical psychologist who has studied forgiveness throughout his career. However, it isn't just through academia that he understands forgiveness; when his mother was murdered, he also made the decision to forgive his mother's killer.Prof. Worthington joins Damian Thompson on this episode of Holy Smoke to discuss the 'injustice gap' between forgiveness and remorse, the theoretical distinction he makes between behaviourial intentions and emotional forgiveness, and the events of his mother's murder – and how he came to forgive such an horrific crime.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

It's April, which means envelopes fat and thin are arriving in Capeside. Joey is jealous of the pile of acceptances Jack secured for himself and Jen, but doesn't need to be for long: she finds out she's been admitted to Worthington at the very same moment Dawson hears he's been rejected by NYU Film School. While Gretchen bucks Dawson up by reminding him that Mr. Brooks never went to film school, and that Dawson could be inspired by real life and use his inheritance to make movies, everyone else is celebrating the first Potter to get into college. That abruptly stops when Joey finds out her financial aid package will still require her or her family to kick in $15,000 a year, and in this world -- where a high school guidance counselor doesn't tell a student about APPEALING HER FINANCIAL AID, A THING YOU CAN DO -- that means Worthington is off the table completely. While Joey tries (not very hard) to keep this disappointment a secret, Jen is having a hard time articulating to Jack or Tom why she doesn't want to consider any colleges in New York, home of the terrible parents with whom she still has unresolved issues. You, however, should resolve to listen to our latest episode on "Admissions"! JOIN THE AWT CLUB
