"I don't want to be whatever version of masculinity y'all keep telling me I have to be. Why are all the benchmarks violent and aggressive? I don't wanna do it. I'm not interested” — Jason ReynoldsWe all inherit scripts about who we're supposed to be. For boys, they often center on toughness, aggression, and hiding their emotions. Jason Reynolds has spent his life questioning those scripts, carving out space for tenderness and love, honoring friendships that offered freedom, and exploring what masculinity might mean beyond the narrow definitions passed down to us. Jason Reynolds is a national treasure. A Newbery Medal winner, a National Book Award finalist, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, and a two-time National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, he is the beloved author of “Ghost,” “Long Way Down,” “Look Both Ways,” “Twenty-four Seconds From Now,” and so many more. Jason brings expansiveness to his books, illuminating the gentleness, humor, and vulnerability too often left out of stories of boyhood. In this episode, Jason shares his thoughts on masculinity: the good, the bad, and the beautiful. He explains why everyone needs to have a 'tuning fork' friend, reveals how Saturn flipped his life around at age 30, and pays an incredible tribute to the tattooed biker badass who was his loving father.Settle in for a vulnerable, revelatory conversation with an icon of American literature. ***For his reading challenge, Challenging Conventions, Jason has curated a collection of books that push back against the narrow definitions of boyhood and girlhood many of us have come to live by. Peruse selected titles and Jason's full reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/jason-reynolds.***This week's Beanstack Featured Librarians are not actually librarians, but they are integral members of the literary community who are pioneers when it comes to student voice and writing.

Today's Episode:What does it mean to be a “rat person”?
In this episode, Michelle Wakeford, the founder of Ticket to Work, discusses the importance of creating meaningful employment opportunities for young people with intellectual disability and how families and schools can make this happen. She draws on her extensive experience as both a professional in systems change and a parent of a child with Down syndrome. Research has shown that the key indicators of post-school success for students with disability are work experience and paid work while still at school. Michelle described how both can be difficult for students with disability to access, especially with prevailing low expectations within schools and other government agencies. Other barriers are the fragmentation of funding for employment support and a lack of collaboration between entities.Michelle established Ticket to Work, an evidence-based pilot program to support young people with disability in exploring work during their high school years. Her current area of exploration is Transition to Work, a youth-specific, evidence-based employment support program designed to assist young people with disability in transitioning from school to further education and training and ultimately into work.

What happens when AI collides with the next generation? In this episode of For Humanity #70 — Young People vs. Advancing AI, host John Sherman sits down with Emma Corbett, Ava Smithing, and Sam Heiner from the Young People's Alliance to explore how artificial intelligence is already shaping the lives of students and young leaders. From classrooms to job applications to AI “companions,” the next generation is facing challenges that older policymakers often don't even see. This episode digs into what young people really think about AI—and why their voices are critical in the fight for a safe and human future. In this episode we cover:* Students' on-the-ground views of AI in education and daily life* How AI is fueling job loss, hiring barriers, and rising anxiety about the future* The hidden dangers of AI companions and the erosion of real community* Why young people feel abandoned by “adults in the room”* The path from existential dread → civic action → hope
Guest: Ava Smithing, advocacy director at the Young People's Alliance Young people today have been raised with the most powerful tools in human history at their fingertips. Entire childhoods have played out online, with algorithms acting as babysitter, therapist, and mirror through which they see themselves. And now, we're seeing what happens when the first generation raised on smart phones comes of age; shaped by platforms designed to manipulate attention and monetize minds. Ava Smithing was just 12 when she spiraled into a social media rabbit hole that nearly took her life. Years later, she walked the halls of Congress to warn lawmakers about the harms of Big Tech. Now, she's the host of the Toronto Star's new podcast series Left to Their Own Devices that takes a hard look at what happens when kids are left to figure it out alone. She joins This Matters to talk about what led her here. Produced by Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon

If more and more young people are dying of colorectal cancer, why aren't we talking about it? Is it because we're too ashamed of our bodies?Rates of colorectal cancer are rising, especially for people under 50. But it's hard to raise awareness for a cancer that a lot of us find hard to talk about. In a recent essay for The Cut, writer Laurie Abraham described her experience of colon cancer, which included a lot of embarrassment. Talking about your bowel movements is...not fun. Can you relate?Today, Brittany is joined by Laurie and Dr. Kimmie Ng, Co-Director of the Colon and Rectal Cancer Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to get into the cultural shame around how we talk about colon cancer - and how that extends to a lack of funding and research.Follow Brittany Luse on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In the 1990s, young women began vanishing from Perth’s wealthy suburb of Claremont. The disappearances sparked fear across the city, and launched Australia’s longest-running homicide investigation. For nearly two decades, the Claremont Serial Killer remained a mystery. Then, advances in DNA technology cracked the case wide open. In this episode of Crime Insiders Judgements, we go into the courtroom to hear the judge's determination that saw Bradley Robert Edwards convicted of two murders, but acquitted of the third.

In this episode of Recovery Matters, TJ sits down with Matt, a young person in recovery who now works as a Young People and Family Services Coordinator with CCAR. Matt opens up about his journey, beginning with his first treatment at just 13 years old. Despite having parents in recovery, he struggled deeply with drugs, arrests, and time in the juvenile justice system. He shares the progression of his addiction—weed and pills leading to heroin, crack, and near-fatal lows including homelessness, suicidal thoughts, and severe health complications. A turning point came when he entered detox and long-term treatment programs, where structure and community support helped him rebuild his life. Matt also talks about relapse, rebuilding quickly, and how building a strong network of sober friends became crucial to his recovery. His story highlights both the tragedy of losing friends to overdose and the joy of discovering a fulfilling sober life—travel, motorcycles, relationships, and most importantly, fatherhood. Becoming a dad gave Matt a new sense of purpose, grounding his recovery in love and responsibility. 00:00 – Introductions00:36 – First Treatment at 1305:00 – Escalating Addiction07:00 – First Arrests & Juvenile Justice08:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom at 1810:00 – Sober House & Overdose Scare13:00 – Relapse After Heartbreak15:00 – Waterbury & Heavy Addiction17:30 – Final Turning Point19:00 – Structured Recovery & Torrington Move22:00 – Slip & Quick Return to Recovery23:00 – Building a New Life25:00 – Meeting His Fiancée & Becoming a Father29:00 – Parenthood in Recovery34:00 – Advice for Newcomers ----Across the Web----

What do monsters under the bed have to do with climate change? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner explores how parents calm their children's nighttime fears—and why the same wisdom applies to today's rising tide of “climate anxiety.” Rather than sustaining fear with endless coping strategies or costly therapies, true freedom comes from seeing reality clearly. Join us as we unpack the difference between managing fear and dispelling it, and why climate realism—not alarmism—is the path to peace of mind.Show notes: https://neurostimtms.com/climate-anxiety-2025/Visit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The paradox is striking—in our modern culture, authentic love has become the greatest sin. When Charlie Kirk stood for the defense of life, marriage, and family, he faced not reasoned disagreement but hatred so intense it ultimately led to his martyrdom. What does this reveal about our cultural moment?In this episode Jack delves into the spiritual battle underlying our cultural conflicts. Exploring how young people disconnected from their spiritual nature become vulnerable to ideologies that promise freedom but deliver enslavement. He shares a poignant story about a college student who argued that abortion was necessary because having a baby would prevent her from finishing her education—revealing how our culture has reduced love to feelings, sex to pleasure, and children as obstacles.Drawing from Scripture and Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, we examine how our physical reality points to something greater—an eternal exchange of love that exists in the Trinity. Our bodies are designed to make visible this invisible divine reality, yet our culture has obscured this truth. The battle begins in the human heart, where we must choose between authentic love and the counterfeit versions offered by secular ideologies.The real enemy isn't people with different viewpoints—it's the spiritual forces that corrupt hearts and minds. By cultivating our own spiritual lives through prayer, Scripture reading, and sacraments, we become equipped to stand firm in love even when facing opposition. This is what Charlie understood, and what we're all called to embody.Join our Claymore community as we pick up this mantle, defending truth with both courage and compassion.

Step behind the scenes of Reel Pride, Canada's longest-running 2SLGBTQIA+ film festival, as Madison sits down with festival president Ray Desautels and marketing director Greg Klassen at Manitoba's Theatre for Young People. This fascinating conversation reveals how a dedicated team of volunteers brings dozens of authentic queer stories to Winnipeg screens each year.From its humble beginnings in 1985 when LGBTQ+ representation was limited to stereotypical characters, Reel Pride has evolved into a multi-faceted celebration of queer cinema. "We want movies based on our lifestyle," explains Desautels, emphasizing their focus on stories where queerness is central, not incidental.The conversation takes a compelling turn as we explore how the festival navigates today's increasingly tense political climate. "We're not going to be pushed back into the closet," Desautels states reflecting this year's theme: "Projecting Pride: Loud and Proud." Both guests provide thoughtful perspectives on the festival's evolution, from simply showing films to creating community spaces through art exhibitions, short film showcases, and social gatherings. They highlight international standouts like "Odd Fish" from Iceland and "Some Nights I Feel Like Walking" from the Philippines, showcasing how the festival brings global queer perspectives to Canadian audiences.Whether you're a film enthusiast, an aspiring filmmaker, or simply curious about Winnipeg's vibrant queer arts scene, this episode offers valuable insights into how cultural festivals can adapt, survive, and thrive across four decades. Discover why Reel Pride remains relevant after 40 years and how it continues to create essential space for authentic queer storytelling.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking stabbing death of a Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina, fresh polling on America's youth drifting toward socialism, and global headlines from South Korea, Argentina, France, and China. From crime and ideology at home to economic and political turmoil abroad, today's brief shows how policies and power struggles are reshaping America and the world. North Carolina Stabbing Case and Media Silence: Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered by Decarlos Brown, a repeat offender with schizophrenia and over 14 arrests. Released by Judge Teresa Stokes under restorative justice policies, Brown stabbed her on a Charlotte light rail after muttering, “I got the white girl.” Bryan argues, “This case isn't just about one victim and one perp. It's about a nation that is broken.” America's Youth Drift Left — Socialism Rising: NBC, Rasmussen, and Gallup reveal stark generational divides. Democrat youth rank money and emotional stability above marriage, children, or faith, while Trump-voting men list kids as their top priority. Polling shows 53 percent of Americans under 40 favor a socialist president in 2028. Bryan warns, “We are living in the midst of a Leftist Revolution.” South Korea Furious Over Georgia ICE Raid: Seoul condemns ICE for arresting 475 illegal Korean workers at Hyundai's battery plant. Trump responded, “[We] don't have people in this country who know about batteries… Maybe we should help them along and let some [Korean] people come in and train our people.” Critics warn expanded H1-B visas could enrage Trump's working-class base. Argentina's Marxists Make a Comeback: Markets tank after the Peronist Party's unexpected win in Buenos Aires. President Javier Milei admitted the result was “much worse than expected” but vowed to continue his reforms, calling for “deep self-criticism.” France's Government Collapses Again: Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a no-confidence vote, the third government collapse in a year. With debt at 114 percent of GDP, President Macron faces the choice of a new prime minister, snap elections, or stepping down. LeBron James Pens Op-Ed for China: The NBA star praised China as “passionate and friendly” in a CCP newspaper essay, aiming to restore NBA access to the Chinese market after years of bans. Bryan calls it a clear case of “red Communist money turning bright American green.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Iryna Zarutska North Carolina stabbing, Decarlos Brown schizophrenia restorative justice, Judge Teresa Stokes Second Chances, NBC youth priorities socialism, Rasmussen Gallup socialism poll, Trump voters family priorities, South Korea ICE raid Hyundai plant, Trump H1-B visas batteries, Argentina Peronist Party comeback Milei, France government collapse Bayrou Macron, LeBron James China op-ed NBA
Both interest and conversions to the Catholic Church have been surging both here and in parts of Europe, especially among young adults. To be sure, secularism still dominates the culture, but the once common wisdom that an increasingly secular society would eventually lead to the death of Christianity and its evacuation from the public square doesn't seem so common anymore. What are the causes of this apparent religious revival among young people? What can we do as evangelists to maintain and build on the momentum? A listener asks about the most effective way to make an initial evangelical impact on young people. 00:00 | Introduction 01:20 | Concluding Bishop Barron's first diocesan synod 03:18 | Growing interest in Catholicism 08:45 | Men and Catholic interest 11:50 | Considering our recent isolations 14:08 | The rise and decline of wokeism 17:10 | Attraction to tradition 18:48 | Attraction to the liturgy 25:50 | The attraction of moral teachings 28:53 | Evangelical challenges 31:46 | Religious liberty 35:45 | Listener question: How do you best engage the young? 38:40 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: E&C Online article: https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-true-young-people-are-seeking-the-faith/ New York Post article: https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/why-young-people-are-converting-to-catholicism-en-masse/ Fox News article: https://www.foxnews.com/media/catholicism-sees-major-resurgence-among-gen-z-young-men-leading-revival Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast?
