On Saturday, January 3rd, President Trump announced that a military raid on Caracas had captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, and brought him back to the US to face drug charges. The operation followed months of deadly US strikes against boats purportedly ferrying drugs from Venezuela and a military buildup off its coast. But even after Maduro was seized, the administration still could not, or would not, clearly explain its intense interest in Venezuela any more than it could explain its plans for the country. And beyond the practicalities of “running” Venezuela, as Trump said the US would be doing, are even more disturbing questions about what comes next under the “Donroe doctrine”—the administration's update of the 202-year-old Monroe Doctrine, which was used to justify generations of US interventions throughout the Western Hemisphere. This episode of On the Nose turns to a foremost expert on US interference in Latin America, Greg Grandin, to help us understand the historical context of Trump's surge—and what it may suggest about his military adventures going forward. A Pulitzer Prize-winning history professor at Yale, Grandin has written several books on the tangled history of the US and Latin America, including his sweeping 2025 chronicle, America, América: A New History of the New World. Jewish Currents editor-at-large Peter Beinart asks Grandin to break down the political situation in Venezuela and the history of its nationalized oil reserves—and to explain what Trump's new doctrine of pure power may hold in store for the US and the Americas.

Perfectionism often looks like ambition, discipline, and excellence until it quietly turns into anxiety, burnout, and relentless self-criticism. In this episode, I'm joined by Jordana Confino, former Yale-trained lawyer turned coach, to talk about the cost of maladaptive perfectionism and why so many high-achieving professionals mistake self-criticism for motivation. We dive into the difference between sustainable excellence and fear-driven overachievement, the neuroscience behind why beating yourself up actually hurts performance, and what it really takes to move from being your own worst enemy to becoming your most effective ally. Tune in if you're ready to achieve more with less self-punishment.

Brian From reflects on a deeply personal parenting moment as his children head out on mission trips, exploring the bittersweet reality of releasing them into independence. Drawing lessons from sports heartbreak, he examines how public failure can feel defining—but why, in Christ, our worst moments do not get the final word. The episode closes with a thoughtful challenge to hustle culture, questioning whether nonstop work is something to admire, and inviting listeners to consider healthier rhythms rooted in grace, rest, and identity rather than achievement.

Autism content is not the same thing as autism science. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Lyons joins me to talk about what it really means to follow the science of autism, and why parents cannot rely on headlines, algorithms, or outdated assumptions when the stakes are this high. Theresa is a Yale trained scientist and autism parent, and she breaks down how peer reviewed research actually moves, how easily it gets distorted, and why it can take 20 to 30 years for scientific conclusions to become common medical practice. We talk about how misinformation spreads online, including research showing that 70% of the most viewed autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized. Theresa explains why credibility does not come from views, and why parents need to get closer to the source, or choose trusted interpreters who do. We also dig into the bigger picture that often gets missed when families are only offered behavioral therapies. Theresa shares how she thinks about risk, genetics, environment, and total load on the body, and why broad buckets like sleep, diet, hydration, and gut health matter when you are trying to support a child. This is a powerful reminder to trust your intuition, be willing to do the work, and stay curious. The goal is not to chase every rabbit hole. The goal is to build clarity, prioritize what matters, and change the trajectory one step at a time. Key Takeaways "Follow the science" should mean peer reviewed publications, not headlines. Theresa explains why going to sources like PubMed, or using trusted interpreters of that research, matters when mainstream summaries can be rushed, incomplete, or wrong. It can take 20 to 30 years for research to reach common practice. That lag matters when your child is five now, not thirty five later, and it is why parents often need to be proactive rather than waiting for systems to catch up. Mainstream media can sound credible while still being misinformation. Theresa shares how even well meaning articles can be based on shallow research done under deadline pressure, which can derail a family's decisions if they are not careful. Online engagement is not the same thing as accuracy. Research discussed in this episode found that 70% of top autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized, which is a wake up call about where many families are getting "education." Parents have to balance curiosity with discernment. The goal is not to chase everything. The goal is to build enough scientific literacy to ask better questions, recognize weak claims, and avoid fruitless rabbit holes. Autism is diagnosed through observation, which can hide the "why" underneath. Theresa explains how biology, chemistry, and health factors can be missed until developmental delays become obvious, and then families are left sorting out root contributors after the fact. Broad health buckets deserve attention alongside therapies. Sleep, hydration, digestion, and diet can meaningfully affect regulation and behavior, and Theresa points out that these basics are often dismissed as "just autism" when they deserve real investigation. Diet interventions require clarity about goals and consistency. Theresa discusses why families need to identify symptoms first, understand mechanisms like gut permeability and immune load, and avoid comparing "partial" changes to results from structured clinical trials. Risk is complex because genetics and environment interact. Theresa describes why research often speaks in terms of increased risk rather than simple causation, and why what is relevant depends on the individual child's context. Trust your intuition and commit to the long game. Theresa's closing message is that change is like turning a boat. It takes effort and time, but a parent's willingness to learn and keep going can meaningfully change a child's trajectory. .About Theresa Lyons Dr. Theresa Lyons is an international autism educator, Ivy League scientist, and autism parent. She holds a PhD in computational chemistry from Yale University and previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry in research and development and as a medical strategist. After her daughter was diagnosed with autism, she applied her scientific training to understanding autism research and now teaches parents how to navigate the science with clarity and confidence. She is the founder of Navigating AWEtism, a platform designed to turn autism complexity into clarity by organizing scientific information and making it accessible and actionable for families. Through her work, she has supported parents in 21 plus countries and reaches a growing global audience through years of science backed education on YouTube and social media.

La intervención estadounidense para extraer a Nicolás Maduro y a su esposa Cilia Flores de Venezuela, además de desatar una crisis en el país, ha puesto en relieve múltiples preguntas como la legalidad de dicha operación y los límites de Estados Unidos en el orden mundial. ¿Puede un país decidir atacar unilateralmente a otro y además extraer a su presidente? Para el expresidente de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y experto en derecho internacional, James Cavallaro, es un acto ilegal por parte de Estados Unidos. “Una amenaza directa al derecho internacional” “Fue una violación abierta, descarada, de la norma más importante de la ONU. Es una amenaza directa al derecho internacional y a la paz en el mundo. Ahora bien, hay excepciones donde sí puede haber una intervención militar: si el Consejo de Seguridad autoriza una intervención, lo que no ha pasado, o para la autodefensa, y tampoco se cumple esa condición. Es una ilegalidad descarada, tiene que ser calificada como tal”, subraya Cavallaro. El también profesor de la Universidad de Yale y Columbia (en Estados Unidos) explica que la intervención de Trump y sus amenazas a otros países viola totalmente las leyes, pero se dan por la concentración de poder y el silencio político de otros Estados. “El problema que tenemos en el mundo hoy en día, y por eso tenemos una crisis, es que el país más poderoso del mundo no acepta, no se limita por las normas del derecho internacional ni tampoco se cumple el señor Trump con las normas del derecho de los Estados Unidos”, indica. “No puede ser secuestrado” “Uno puede pensar lo que quiera sobre el señor Nicolás Maduro, pero por ser jefe del Estado, es una persona internacionalmente protegida, no puede ser agarrado, secuestrado. La única excepción es cuando la Corte Penal Internacional autoriza la detención, aún siendo jefe de Estado. Son los otros países del mundo, tienen que decir esta es una ilegalidad, sino Venezuela no va a ser el último caso de violación de la integridad territorial”, prosigue Cavallaro. Nicolas Maduro y su Gobierno son señalados por varias ONG y la ONU por atentar contra los derechos humanos en Venezuela… Sin embargo, para Cavallaro, estas acusaciones les competen solo a los mismos venezolanos o a la justicia internacional. “Crímenes casi tan graves han sido cometidos en en torno a la mitad de los países en el mundo. Hay desaparición forzada en decenas de países. Ni por eso puede un Estado decidir que va a invadir a otro país secuestrar al jefe de Estado”, señala el analista. Si bien el régimen de Maduro ha sido criticado por diversas naciones y acusado de fraude en las elecciones de 2024, la intervención estadounidense preocupa también a otros Gobiernos como Cuba, Colombia o Dinamarca, que han recibido amenazas de Donald Trump. 

In this GMM Podcast, we sit down with Jake Gibbons, a talented young coach at one of the most powerful prep programs in swimming history, The Bolles School. Jake's connection to Bolles is personal. He swam for the Bolles Sharks from 2013 to 2015, absorbing the culture, the expectations, and the weight of a program that has produced Olympic champions and global stars. From there, his path wasn't linear. He detoured briefly through Yale before landing at Texas A&M, where his career sharpened into leadership as much as performance. At A&M, Jake captained the team, earned multiple CSCAA Scholar All-American honors, and etched his name into the Aggie record books with a 9:05.38 in the 1000-yard freestyle. He was also awarded the Texas A&M Distinguished Letterman Award, the school's highest recognition for athletics, scholarship, and leadership.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines this week with massive announcements lighting up the music world. The NFL revealed during Sunday night's Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers game that he'll headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show in San Francisco's Bay Area in February 2026, according to AOL reports. He teased it on X in Spanish, saying he'd do just one U.S. date, then confirmed with a video of himself on a beach football goalpost, posting Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusicHalftime.This caps a huge week after Grammy nominations dropped, positioning him for history. Associated Press and ClickOnDetroit note his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned six nods, making him the first Spanish-language artist nominated simultaneously for album, song, and record of the year. It's only the second Spanish-language album up for album of the year—after his own 2022 Un Verano Sin Ti. Experts like Vanessa Díaz from Loyola Marymount University call it a breakthrough for Latin music, especially reggaetón and Latin trap from Puerto Rico's marginalized communities, now hitting mainstream Grammy categories.The album fuses Puerto Rican folk like bomba, plena, and aguinaldo with modern trap, described by Yale's Albert Laguna as Bad Bunny's most Puerto Rican project yet, challenging global pop formulas without diluting his roots. It supports his ongoing Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, hitting Tokyo stadiums in 2026 per Japan Travel, after selling 2.6 million tickets in a week—a record for Latin artists.These moves come amid his boycott of U.S. continental tours over ICE raids and deportations affecting Latino fans, as he told i-D Magazine, with hundreds detained in Puerto Rico since late January. Just a week before Super Bowl, the February 1 Grammys at Crypto.com Arena could cement his legacy, with professors like Petra Rivera-Rideau hoping it opens doors for other artists.Listeners, thank you for tuning in.

Well known concert pianist Kimball Gallagher has made a huge impact on the lives of countless young people through his global non profit "88 International" Kimball Gallagher recently wrapped a two-week U.S. tour with the Tunisia 88 Alumni Choir, a group of young musicians who helped build those clubs from the ground up to what eventually became 88 International. The tour moved through universities, community spaces, and cultural institutions along the East Coast, with collaborations at Yale, Princeton, Bowdoin, Duke, and others. Along the way, the choir shared the story of how a student-led movement grew into an international network, and the tour set the stage for what Kimball is building next. On April 13th, Kimball returns to Carnegie Hall for his first solo recital there in over a decade. The program will combine classical repertoire with music shaped by his experiences working with students across Africa and Asia, with members of the Tunisia88 Alumni Choir joining him on stage, bringing the exchange and energy of the tour back to one of the world's most iconic halls. Kimball's path also defies the traditional classical trajectory. Raised in Boston, he pushed back against a strict musical upbringing, rediscovered the piano on his own terms, and later studied at Rice and Juilliard. Early on, he questioned the narrow routes available to concert pianists and began experimenting with salon-style house concerts that emphasized connection over convention. His idea to fund a piano by asking 88 donors to sponsor 88 keys became a turning point, showing him how music could build community far beyond the concert hall. That experiment led to a seven-continent concert journey and eventually to the founding of 88 International. Supported by partners including the European Investment Bank, the German Federal Foreign Office, and the U.S. State Department, the organization has reached more than 200,000 students and helped spark programs across North Africa, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. With the Tunisia88 Alumni Choir's U.S. debut and his upcoming Carnegie Hall recital, Kimball is reconnecting his global work with his artistic roots. It's a full-circle moment for an artist who has spent the past two decades blurring the lines between performance and purpose. website www.kimballgallagher.com www.88international.org   social media www.instagram.com/kimball.gallagher www.instagram.com/88internationalmusic  YouTube Tunisia88 https://youtube.com/@tunisia88?si=vCabRnbVuxOKuL8q  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

This week on Sinica, recorded at Yale University, I speak with Michael Brenes and Van Jackson, coauthors of The Rivalry Peril: How Great-Power Competition Threatens Peace and Weakens Democracy. Their argument is that framing the U.S.-China relationship as geopolitical rivalry has become more than just a foreign policy orientation — it's a domestic political project that reshapes budgets, norms, and coalitions in ways that actively harm American democracy and the American people. Rivalry narrows political possibility, makes dissent suspect, encourages neo-McCarthyism (the China Initiative, profiling of Chinese Americans), produces anti-AAPI hate, and redirects public investment away from social welfare and into defense spending through what they call "national security Keynesianism."Mike is interim director of the Brady Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale, while Van is a senior lecturer in international relations at Victoria University of Wellington and host of the Un-Diplomatic Podcast. We discuss the genesis of their collaboration during the Biden administration, how they navigate China as a puzzle for the American left, canonical misrememberings of the Cold War that distort current China policy, the security dilemma feedback loop between Washington and Beijing, why defense-heavy stimulus is terrible at job creation, how rivalry politics weakens democracy, recent polling showing a shift toward engagement, and their vision for a "geopolitics of peace" anchored in Sino-U.S. détente 2.0.5:47 – The genesis of the book: recognizing Biden's Cold War liberalism 11:26 – How they approached writing together from different disciplinary homes 13:20 – Navigating China as a puzzle for the American left21:39 – How great power competition hardened from analytical framework into ideology 28:15 – Mike on two canonical misrememberings of the Cold War 33:18 – Van on the security dilemma and the nuclear feedback loop 39:55 – National security Keynesianism: why defense spending is bad at job creation 44:38 – How rivalry politics weakens democracy and securitizes dissent 48:09 – Building durable coalitions for restraint-oriented statecraft 51:27 – Has the post-COVID moral panic actually abated? 53:27 – The master narrative we need: a geopolitics of peace 55:29 – Associative balancing: achieving equilibrium through accommodation, not armsRecommendations:Van: The Long Twentieth Century by Giovanni Arrighi Mike: The World of the Cold War: 1945-1991 by Vladislav Zubok Kaiser: Pluribus (Apple TV series by Vince Gilligan)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we're revisiting our conversation with Marlee Liss from January 18, 2024! Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Marlee Liss to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Marlee speaks with us about her experiences as a survivor of sexual assault. Her case made history as the first in North America to conclude with restorative justice processes through the courts. She describes her experience in the traditional court system as one where her voice, needs, and ability to make decisions in her best interest were dismissed. Concerning the use of restorative justice processes, Marlee emphasizes how imperative it is to engage with fully prepared, skillful, humane, trauma-informed, and attentive individuals who are striving to meet the needs of survivors. She provides examples of centering and identifying survivor's needs and making space to hear directly from them. Marlee Liss is a somatic educator, award-winning speaker, author, restorative justice advocate and lesbian Jewish feminist. She has supported thousands of women and non-binary folk in healing shame, transforming trauma, and bridging healing with justice. Marlee's work has been featured in Forbes, Huff Post, Buzzfeed, the Mel Robbins Show, and more. As an award-winning speaker, she's delivered talks for: The US Military SAPRO, Vanderbilt University, Fordham University, Trauma & Recovery Conference, Women's Mental Health Conference at Yale, National Sexual Assault Conference, and more. Marlee was 1 of 25 survivors on an elite panel for the National Action Plan to End Gender Based Violence informing federal policy, and her story was made into a documentary directed by Kelsey Darragh, The Limits of Forgiveness, which premiered on December 17, 2025! Tune in to learn more about Marlee's perspective on the future of restorative justice and the potential of continued healing for survivors and offenders of violent crimes.

When it comes to your pet's health, there is no word more terrifying than "cancer." The immediate reaction is often fear, followed by a difficult question: "I wouldn't put myself through chemo, so why would I put my dog through it?"In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rance Gamblin, a veterinary oncologist formerly at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital and now professor at Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with 24+ years of experience and a calming presence that could soothe even the most "OCD" pet parent (just ask Alice!). Dr. Gamblin helps us navigate the emotional and medical complexities of a cancer diagnosis, explaining why veterinary oncology is often far more compassionate and focused on quality of life than human medicine.In this episode, we discuss:- The "Quality of Life" Philosophy: Why the goals of pet oncology differ from human oncology—focusing on making pets feel better for longer, rather than "curing at any cost."- Common Culprits: A look at the most frequent cancers Dr. Gamblin treats, including Lymphoma, Mast Cell Tumors, and Osteosarcoma.- The Truth About Side Effects: Do dogs lose their hair? Dr. Gamblin shares the reality of how pets handle chemotherapy (hint: there's a lot more tail-wagging involved than you'd think).- Treatment Innovations: Insights into the Yale vaccine study and the fascinating science behind the Melanoma vaccine. -Proactive Pet Parenting: Why Dr. Gamblin's biggest pet peeve is the "let's just watch it" approach, and why your pet's breath or a quick rectal exam could be a lifesaver.- Knowing When It's Time: A heart-to-heart on the "Big Four" indicators of quality of life and how to navigate the toughest decision a pet owner can make.Dr. Rance Gamblin earned his BS in Biology from Mississippi State and completed his residency in Oncology and Hematology at The Ohio State University. For over two decades, he has been a pillar of the veterinary community at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, known for his expertise, his steady hand, and an accent you'll just have to hear for yourself to guess where he's from! He is currently a professor at Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine.--What started during the COVID-19 lockdown with one baby gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo has grown into a channel loved by animal fans around the world.

The Great Rose Bowl Hoax: When a 3-6 Harvard Team Was "Invited" to PasadenaWhile the modern era is seeing a slow return of Ivy League teams considering postseason play—a novelty perhaps best illustrated by the news that some Ivy teams might secure bowl slots in 2025—it's easy to forget that nearly a century ago, one of the ancient institutions received perhaps the most absurd bowl invitation in history. The subject? The 1936 Rose Bowl, and the unsuspecting victim was none other than the Harvard Crimson.Thanks to the work of historians like Timothy P. Brown of FootballArchaeology.com, we can pull back the curtain on this classic college football prank, a story that perfectly captures the spirit of football antiquity. Tim wrote about this instance in a recent Tidbit post titled: Harvard's 1936 Rose Bowl Invitation The Strange Rules of Bowl Season PastTo understand the prank, you must first understand the bowl landscape of 1936.The Rose Bowl, then as now, was king, but the selection process was dramatically different. The Rose Bowl Committee had a standing arrangement to host the champion of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), which that year was Stanford. The PCC champion's athletic director was then given the responsibility to select their opponent, typically an elite team from the East or Midwest.In 1936, the field of eligible opponents was surprisingly thin. The top teams were LSU, SMU, and TCU, but two of the era's traditional powers, Minnesota and Princeton, were barred from postseason play by their conference and league agreements, respectively. This unusual vacuum might have made an invitation seem slightly less ludicrous to some, but not by much.A 3-6 Harvard Gets a TelegramThe Harvard Crimson finished the 1935 season (the team that would play in the 1936 Rose Bowl) with a middling 3-6 record—hardly the résumé of a national contender.Despite this abysmal tally, Harvard's Athletic Director, William Bingham, received a telegram from Alfred Masters, the athletic director at Stanford. The message was unmistakable: Harvard was invited to play in the Rose Bowl.Bingham, likely stunned, didn't panic. He understood the traditions of the era. He promptly telegraphed his response back to Stanford, a model of polite, New England refusal that reads like a masterpiece of bureaucratic formality:"Harvard regrets it cannot accept your bowl invitation this year. Due to the Harvard, Yale, Princeton agreement, we are unable to engage in any postseason games. It will be impossible next year because our present policy extends until 1938. Good luck on New Year's Day."The Rose Bowl Hoax Is RevealedThe twist in this tale of antiquity arrived moments later when the real Alfred Masters received Bingham's formal rejection. Masters was completely bewildered, as he had never sent an invitation to the 3-6 Crimson. The entire sequence of events was a meticulously planned, anonymous hoax.The prankster, whose identity remains unknown to this day, had done more than just fool Harvard. The individual had also sent a similar telegraph to the Stanford student newspaper, falsely signing it as the editor of Harvard's newspaper, presumably to lend credence and ensure the story (and the embarrassment) spread.While the Crimson escaped any further embarrassment—Masters ultimately extended the official invitation to SMU—the incident serves as a hilarious, forgotten chapter in college football lore.The prank, however, was not unique. Similar bowl season shenanigans plagued college athletics for decades. As late as the 1950s, a high school band in Casopolis, Michigan, received a fake invitation to march in the Rose Bowl Parade, leading the entire community to hold frantic fundraisers

After a celebrated run off-Broadway and rave reviews, Irene Lucio has returned to the role of Isadora in the groundbreaking play. LIBERATION explores the universal themes of freedom, identity, and resilience, set against the backdrop of historical and contemporary struggles for justice. Isadora is an Italian immigrant filmmaker who entered a green-card marriage. New York Theatre Guide called her performance “sharp and witty… toggling back and forth between humor and heartbreak with natural ease.” Irene is perhaps best known for her role in Jeremy O. Harris' award-winning play SLAVE PLAY where she starred as Patricia and played the role in all four forms of the show. She also wrote a Spanish series titled ‘SúperEllas' for Canela TV. A show for children about Latina trailblazers, it won the Best Non-English Program – Family Programming at the 48th Annual Gracie Awards. As a Latinx woman born and raised in Puerto Rico, Irene seeks roles which showcase the importance of diverse representation in the arts. Fluent in Spanish and a graduate of Princeton and Yale's esteemed acting program, she currently lives in Manhattan with her husband and 2 year old son. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textAs a 13-year-old, former Alaska State House Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins headed Vermont Governor Howard Dean's 2004 Presidential campaign in Alaska. He immersed himself in all things political as a high school student, but gave up politics when he got to college at Yale. During his junior year, he was contacted by several people encouraging him to return home to Sitka to run against the incumbent Republican serving in the state house seat, co-chair of the powerful House Finance committee Bill Thomas. Jonathan ran, won, and served for 10 years in the House where his proudest achievement was getting his HB 216 signed into law in 2014 which made 20 Native languages official Alaska state languages. Much of this interview draws from a 2018 Politico story that profiled three young Alaskans: Forrest Dunbar, John-Henry Heckendorn, and our guest Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins.

As college basketball turns to the new year, we find more Cinderellas. NCAA-ineligible St. Thomas could wreck the Summit. Akron leads an improving MAC. Yale is a strong favorite in the Ivy. UC San Diego and UC Irvine might be at-large contenders in the Big West. St. Mary's and New Mexico try to prevent leaving teams from winning their conference titles. And finals participants Florida and Houston are quietly still threats for the national title.

Borden had a very fruitful ministry both at Yale and Princeton during his tenure as a student, and it strikes me that student ministry in China may have been a better use of his talents than what had been planned for him among the unreached Muslims of NW China. But hindsight is 20/20, and Borden never made it back to China at all (besides his first tour as a teenager). Campus ministry in China has been very fruitful for the past 40+ years, but has become much more difficult recently.

Borden had a very fruitful ministry both at Yale and Princeton during his tenure as a student, and it strikes me that student ministry in China may have been a better use of his talents than what had been planned for him among the unreached Muslims of NW China. But hindsight is 20/20, and Borden never made it back to China at all (besides his first tour as a teenager). Campus ministry in China has been very fruitful for the past 40+ years, but has become much more difficult recently. Here’s a new article from within China that explains the current situation: Chinese Campus Ministry Troubles https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2025/12/changchun-reaching-campus/ No Tibetan in Chinese Schools https://www.rfa.org/english/tibet/2025/01/02/tibet-china-enforces-restrictions-students/ Chinese Refugee Church Planters? https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2024/12/immigrant-church-in-southeast-asia/ Is China Still a Developing Country? https://www.voanews.com/a/is-china-still-a-developing-country/7244652.html Taiwan Survives Another New Year Celebration https://asiatimes.com/2025/01/note-from-taiwan-the-players-on-the-eve-of-destruction/ Finally, let's take a look at this coming week's Pray for China (PrayforChina.us) cities… Dec 29-Jan 4: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-dec-29-jan-4-2025 Thank you for listening!

Ali Truwit didn't know if she would survive. Shortly after graduating from Yale, where she was a competitive swimmer, she was on vacation when she was attacked by a shark. Thanks to her incredible strength and the quick actions of her friends—one of whom applied a life-saving tourniquet—Ali survived, though she lost her lower leg in the attack. And now? She's a two-time Paralympic silver medalist and amputee who has turned a senseless tragedy into a powerful mission of hope. Ali shares her remarkable journey of recovery, from the early days of facing a debilitating fear of water to becoming an American record holder and medaling at the Paris Paralympics. We discuss everything from the power of community and support systems to the "stronger than you think" philosophy that led to the creation of her nonprofit and documentary. IN THIS EPISODE The emotional experience of running the NYC Marathon with her support system The details of the shark attack and the heroic actions of her friend, Sophie Learning to find hope and joy after trauma The "permission to feel and intention to reset" strategy Redefining what's possible in a "new body" The mission behind her nonprofit, Stronger Than You Think Representing the Paralympic movement in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and in her work as a Nike athlete QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Mindset and Resilience "The message that we're stronger than we think is for everyone. We all go through hard times and trauma and hardship and I think that message that you have more in you is something that I hope everyone sees." "If you ask 'why me?' ... make sure you're asking it in both directions." "Our fears and our feelings are not facts." On the Power of Community "Community really is so important. I think about my journey as a testament to the power of community and support." "There really is no wrong form of support. Whatever you have to give, whenever you have to give it, matters and moves the person forward." On Growth and New Beginnings "I'm swimming faster than I ever swam in certain events with two legs. It's a message to myself of what is still possible for me in this new body." "I can take this bad, senseless trauma that happened to me and use it for good." "It's just as likely that things can go better than you expect than it is that they might not go well at all."

In this episode of The World of Wishes Podcast we meet wish alumnus Lauren Potter. A top junior Olympian at 13, Lauren was a relentless competitor—until a rare, unnamed autoimmune disease left her gasping for breath. After months in Boston Children's Hospital and six rounds of chemotherapy, she chose hope over fear. When her doctor recommended Make‑A‑Wish, Lauren celebrated her recovery with an active, adventurous wish: surfing her first wave on Waikiki Beach, ATV trails through Kualoa Ranch, ziplining across thousand‑foot valleys, and a sunset on the North Shore that felt like peace. Years later, she committed to Yale volleyball, mentored other pulmonary patients, thanked her wish sponsors from the stage, and found her career intersecting with our Miami home—the Finker‑Frenkel Wish House—bringing her journey full circle. In this episode, Lauren shares how positivity, family, and a single wish can fuel a decade of momentum—and why she proudly wears “Wish Kid” as a badge of honor.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Last week was the final week of decision releases for Round 1, for the top MBA programs. This now corresponds with an uptick in activity of MBA Decision Wire, as many candidates begin to weigh their MBA options. Graham noted two admissions tips recently published on Clear Admit. The first focuses on GMAC's Common Letter of Recommendation, which has been adopted by many of the top MBA programs. The second admissions tip explores the recent phenomenon of some MBA programs offering test waivers. Graham highlighted an Adcom Q&A featuring Yale SOM's Bruce DelMonico. This led to a discussion on the value of the institutional brand for Yale's MBA program. Graham then noted a Real Humans piece spotlighting students from Dartmouth / Tuck. We then discussed the recently published employment reports from Tuck and MIT / Sloan. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has superb numbers, including a 339 GRE score. They work at Accenture and want to target the Ed Tech space, post MBA. This week's second MBA applicant also has very strong numbers, and works in the video gaming industry. They want to move to product management in the gaming industry, post MBA. This week's final MBA candidate has offers from Tuck, Darden and Goizueta, while applying with a test waiver. They may take the test and develop a Round 2 strategy. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

McKay returns this week to explore the theme of a "Life Worth Living," delving into how individuals can discover greater meaning, purpose, and value in their lives through reflection and conscious choices. Spotlighting remarkable stories of individuals who made substantial contributions to the world and their resulting legacies, our host encourages listeners to take a moment to assess their own lives, challenging them to consider the worth they are generating and how they can enhance the meaningfulness of their existence.The narratives he shares of such luminaries as Alfred Nobel, Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, and Narges Mohammadi, offer invaluable lessons regarding this concept of living a life worth living. Drawing parallels with halftime in sports, Mckay goes on to encourage listeners to pause and analyze their own lives, akin to how sports teams review their performance and adjust their strategies. He also addresses the paradox in Thomas Jefferson's life, emphasizing the role of choice in interpreting and acting upon shared inspirations, and shares details about Yale's Life Worth Living Program. Join McKay here today for this inspirational episode which serves as a reminder that personal reflection, inspiration, and conscious choices can lead to transformative journeys, impacting not only one's own life but also leaving a lasting imprint on the world.Episode Highlights:Alfred Nobel's legacyHalftime reflectionCatalyn Carico and Drew Weissman's researchNarges Mohammadi's activismYale's Life Worth Living ProgramInspiration and opportunityThomas Jefferson's paradoxQuotes:"We all have opportunities that come our way. God sends us inspiration.""When David looked at [Goliath], he saw a target too big to miss.""The more time spent on the new game plan, the better we'll be learning to create worth in our life is what we're meant to do.""A good coach knows there's a second half to be played and it's not won or lost on a single play. So he keeps his head in the game and prepares for the next half.""Let the calls coming to you and the opportunities before you inspire you to act.""You can choose a life of great worth. God is behind you and before you, and He will help you."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Rob Henderson, known for coining the term "luxury beliefs," joins us to discuss his memoir Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class. Rob shares his extraordinary path—from homelessness and the LA foster care system, to adoption in rural Northern California, to enlisting in the Air Force at 17, and eventually studying at Yale and Cambridge. Rob shares research that shows how childhood instability (more than poverty alone) shapes life outcomes; why the foster system is so under-resourced; how elite cultural narratives can unintentionally harm the very communities they claim to help; and how certain "status beliefs" spread through universities and media. We discuss the hypocrisy and social dynamics of campus ideology, the "Halloween costume controversy" at Yale, and why honest conversations about family structure, class, and social policy are so hard to have yet so critical for making real progress. Key themes and Quotes Luxury beliefs give status to the elite—and the costs are paid by people with the least power." Poverty alone doesn't predict failure. Instability does." The people most skeptical of family are usually the ones who grew up in intact families. "They live like it's the 1950s—and talk like it's the 1960s." "I benefited from structure, plan to give it to my kids—and publicly argue others shouldn't." "Elite students condemn capitalism on Monday and interview at Goldman Sachs on Wednesday." "If your beliefs cost you nothing, they're probably luxury beliefs." Foster Care / Instability Truths "You don't need the worst childhood to feel the damage of instability."  Privilege / Backlash Lines "Telling struggling kids they're privileged doesn't create compassion—it creates resentment." "If your only options are self-flagellation or rebellion, don't be surprised when kids choose rebellion." https://www.sarahhurwitz.net Check out our website: https://meantforyoupod.com Reach out to us: meantforyoupod@gmail.com Follow us on IG If you enjoyed this episode, you may like these conversations:   Brandy Shufutinsky on the Marxist Roots of Ethic Studies Your School's Ethic Studies Curriculum with Monica Harris from FAIR For ALL Key Topics + Timeline 01:00–02:13 – Why labels like "privileged/unprivileged" flatten real life; every story is individual 04:15 – Rob explains who he wrote the book for: the typical educated reader + the kid in chaos who needs hope 07:30–12:00 – Rob's "three names" origin story: biological parents, homelessness, foster care, adoption 11:16 – Red Bluff, CA: family fragmentation, addiction, instability in a working-class town 12:40–16:30 – Foster-care policy: frequent moves to avoid attachment; "least bad option" dilemmas 18:15 – Why foster care gets little attention (and why stories are painful to face) 19:00–23:30 – What made Rob "successful": curiosity + the military as structure, mentors, and environment shift 25:17–29:46 – Research distinction: harshness (poverty) vs instability (unpredictability) as predictors 27:38 – Striking stats: college graduation rates—poor kids vs foster kids (as cited by Rob) 32:10–36:52 – "Luxury beliefs": elites "walk the 50s, talk the 60s"; the social mechanism of cultural messaging 39:18 – After-school programs, screens, and class gaps in supervision/structure 41:39–46:20 – Luxury beliefs as social currency: status signaling through "virtue" positions (white privilege, defund police) 46:20–53:21 – Ethnic studies curricula + backlash: why telling struggling kids they're "privileged" can fuel resentment 57:46–01:02:27 – Yale 2015 Halloween controversy + the irony of Rob being told he's "too privileged" 01:03:00–01:07:07 – Veblen → Bourdieu → Henderson: from luxury goods to cultural capital to luxury beliefs 01:09:09–01:11:18 – Careerism + hypocrisy: condemning institutions while competing to join them 01:11:18–01:15:45 – Post–Oct 7 campus protests; when beliefs meet real consequences 01:15:45–01:18:03 – Hope for higher education: reform, alternatives, and "you don't have to go to college" 01:18:03–01:20:27 – Why the story resonates beyond foster care; instability, immigration, divorce, loneliness

Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). It's not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it's learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

What a lot of women don't realize is you can be having hot flashes but not consciously registering you're having hot flashes. So a lot of women are being woken up by hot flashes they didn't realize they were having.” ”We desperately need more practitioners who can answer those questions for women, whether it's a more natural, holistic approach that does or doesn't include hormone therapy, antidepressants, or any of the other things. Because the other problem is that these doctors are often doling out pharmaceuticals for sleep.” ”We now know that the impact of declining estrogen and progesterone on the brain [and] on the nervous system absolutely has an impact on anxiety, depression, and sleep.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Dr. Aviva Romm's Website Dr. Aviva Romm on Instagram Dr. Aviva Romm's Podcast: On Health  RELATED EPISODES  701: Mood Swings, Brain Fog & Exhaustion: The Hormone Conversation You Deserve with Dr. Carrie Jones 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause 673: From Fatigued to Energized: Reclaiming Sleep in Midlife With Evidence-Based Solutions

Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). It's not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it's learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

This week's episode of Economic Update is an adaptation from a talk Professor Wolff gave at Yale University on December 2, 2025, to the Yale Political Union. In this presentation, he discusses the significance of the title "Marx was Right," which Yale offered, and points out that, over the last 75 years, such a topic or event would not likely have occurred on that campus. He provides a basic summary of critical points throughout Marx's work where he has been proven "right." Professor Wolff also discusses how and why socialism has evolved, from the rise and fall of the USSR to the rise of the People's Republic of China.   The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.

What if the most dangerous addiction in the world isn't drugs, alcohol, or gambling—but revenge? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dr. James Kimmel Jr., Yale School of Medicine researcher, attorney, and author of The Science of Revenge, to unpack what actually happens in our brains when we feel wronged, humiliated, or disrespected.   Dr. Kimmel breaks down the neuroscience behind revenge, why it lights up the brain the same way cocaine does, and how seeking retaliation gives us a temporary dopamine hit that ultimately leaves us worse off. We talk about anger, forgiveness, sibling rivalry, marriage conflict, parenting mistakes, and why forgiveness isn't weakness—it's one of the most powerful tools we have to reclaim peace, leadership, and self-control as men and fathers.     Timeline Summary    [0:00] Why revenge may be the most dangerous addiction in the world. [2:10] Introducing Dr. James Kimmel Jr. and his research on revenge and forgiveness. [3:02] How revenge activates the same brain circuitry as drugs like cocaine. [4:38] Dr. Kimmel's background as both a lawyer and Yale researcher. [6:33] Marriage, faith, and building a family with shared purpose over 37 years. [9:12] Advice on long-term marriage and selecting the right partner early. [13:23] Why revenge seeking escalates conflict in families and relationships. [16:17] Defining revenge as an addictive, pleasure-seeking process. [17:17] How grievances activate the brain's pain and reward systems. [21:25] Why emotional pain registers as physical pain in the brain. [23:13] Dopamine, craving, and why revenge never actually satisfies. [25:32] How the prefrontal cortex gets hijacked during revenge seeking. [28:06] Revenge cycles in marriage and intimate relationships. [31:20] Losing control: when logic shuts down during retaliation. [33:27] Larry shares a real-life road rage trigger moment. [37:39] How quickly fight-or-flight turns into revenge seeking. [39:52] Why only about 20% of people become "revenge addicted." [42:16] Differences between men and women when seeking revenge. [43:28] Why revenge plots dominate movies like John Wick and The Lion King. [47:07] Sibling rivalry and how revenge shows up between brothers. [54:23] Parenting discipline vs. revenge-driven punishment. [58:25] Why forgiveness is essential for breaking the revenge cycle.     Five Key Takeaways Revenge activates the same brain circuits as drugs and gambling, making it addictive and compulsive for some people.  Emotional wounds register as real physical pain in the brain, triggering a desire to self-medicate through retaliation.  Revenge provides temporary relief but increases anger, anxiety, and depression after the dopamine fades.  Parents can unintentionally cross the line from discipline into revenge, especially when ego and shame are triggered.  Forgiveness is not weakness—it's neuroscience. It's one of the most powerful ways to reclaim control, peace, and leadership.  Links & Resources The Science of Revenge: https://bit.ly/4q1khVd Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Podcast Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1414     Closing Remark   If this episode challenged the way you think about anger, conflict, and forgiveness, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.
