In this episode, Andrea dives into episode 66, exploring life-altering lessons with the legendary Bob Proctor, who challenged her with the pivotal question: What do you really want to do with your life? Through the lens of practical neuroscience, learn how to craft huge goals, venture beyond our senses, and tap into the higher faculties of mind to transform those dreams into reality. Discover the essence of interconnectedness and the profound truth that we are souls, not just physical beings. This episode is a roadmap for anyone yearning to refine their goals and elevate their understanding to new heights. Don't miss this exploration of timeless wisdom that promises transformative growth. In this first part of our series, we'll explore: How to ask the right questions to uncover your real desires. Why you must go beyond your five senses and tap into your higher mental faculties—like imagination, intuition, and will—to create a life you love. The mindset shift that transforms vague wishes into powerful, crystal-clear goals. Bob's wisdom wasn't just theory—it was a challenge to think differently, act boldly, and believe in possibilities far beyond my comfort zone. And it all begins with one question: “What do you really want?” Watch our past interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHWMCzfODU4 Watch our YouTube Short here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_npFmt6zVE4 BE SURE TO SIGN UP TO SEE THE NEW MOVIE Bob Proctor's Legacy https://www.bobproctorlegacy.com/ On the EP 366, and PART 1 review of EP 66 we will cover: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Refining the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” ✔ Sage Advice #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind. ✔ Sage Advice #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice #3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how it continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago I started this podcast with one big question that I had never thought of in the past: If productivity and results matter to you—how exactly are you using your brain to make these results happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to boost our productivity, results, or well-being. That's why I set out to bring you the world's top experts—so we can learn the intersection of science, and social and emotional learning skills, putting what we learn into action every day, for predictable results. As we kick off Season 14, I've been revisiting past episodes and reflecting on the incredible insights our guests have shared since we first launched in 2019. This reflection started when a young filmmaker, Vishal Sharma[i], reached out to me and offered to create YouTube Shorts[ii] from past interviews. When I saw his first example, something clicked. As I reviewed older episodes, I realized I had only scratched the surface of the lessons inside each interview. I started re-listening—not just to refresh my memory, but to deepen my own understanding. And honestly, I was surprised at how many ideas I had missed or forgotten. So as we dive into this review of past conversations, know that this isn't just for you, the listener—it's for me as well. I've learned that slowing down helps us uncover even more wisdom, and I'm excited for us to walk this path together. For today's Episode 366[iii], we're going back to Episode 66 where my journey began, with the legendary Bob Proctor—the first person who truly challenged me to think. Back in the late 1990s, he asked me a simple but life-changing question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” I remember being completely stumped. I didn't have a clear, well-thought-out answer. But looking back, I'm grateful he asked—because that question launched me on the path to understanding the mind, the brain, psychology, and neuroscience. It's been a journey that's had plenty of twists and turns, and where everything began for me. As we revisit past episodes like this one, my hope is that together, we can create a roadmap for success—one that helps you take the lessons you hear and actually apply them in your daily life. So going back to EP 66, and our interview with Bob Proctor, I think back and remember that it was easy to book time on Bob's calendar back then, because this interview was scheduled June 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. Prior to this time, it would have been very difficult to have made this interview happen. I had written out some of the most important life lessons I had learned from Bob, prior to recording our interview, and while all the lessons are important, I am going to focus on the first one for this review. I learned how to set huge goals—goals most people might call “crazy”—when Bob asked me, “What do you really want?” When I gave him my answer, I knew I could have done better. I didn't have my life all thought out at the time. I didn't know what the faculties of my mind were, nor had I spent any time developing my intuition, or imagination. He met me where I was, and explained that there were specific steps I needed to follow. It began with writing my goals on a card he gave me, and I did what he told me to do. I actually put some of the goals into visual pictures that I drew out to go along with each goal. He told me that if I followed all his suggestions and truly believed in what I was doing, I could achieve what I wanted. I believed him—and I followed through. Looking back at the list of goals I set back then, in my early days of self-discovery, most of these goals were eventually achieved, and this “writing of goals on a card” became a yearly ritual to help me to keep moving forward. This was 26 years ago, and while that “goal-setting” activity was an important lesson to learn, as we are revisiting these episodes, and planning out the roadmap for this review, I'm personally revisiting this question now, and refining my vision for the next 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. What about you, the listener? Wherever you are tuning in from, around the world. Do you have a clear written description of what it is that YOU want? If we never think about this important question, and clearly write it all out, I'm sure you will agree with me that life will pass by, and our results will stay exactly the same. So, as we walk through each interview together, digging into the lessons we might have missed, do this with your written vision of what it is that you want, right in front of you, to refine and improve along the way. “What do you REALLY want?”[iv] Now let's visit some of the pieces of wisdom I missed in EP 66, by reviewing our YouTube Shorts and see if we can take our understanding to new heights. VIDEO 1 Watch this YouTube Short SAGE ADVICE 1 “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” What exactly does this mean? In Episode 294, we explored these mental faculties in depth, revisiting the lessons Bob taught those 12 teenagers who forever changed the course of my life. That moment was the true starting point for me, and it began with this concept where I learned that if we can learn to live beyond our 5 senses (what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch” and begin to live through our higher faculties of mind (our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination” we will take our results to unimaginable heights. Much of creating what I truly wanted in those early days began with my imagination, one of our mental faculties. The vision I wrote down on paper back then wasn't logical by any standard—but it was the understanding of these mental faculties that shaped my future. This is a good concept to revisit, to be sure that when setting goals, that we are tapping into these “higher faculties of our mind” and reaching for places, things, experiences that stretch us beyond what we know we are capable to achieving. These higher faculties are here to take us to these NEW heights that we can only see when we open up to the potential of new possibilities that we may never have thought of before. REMEMBER: “Imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.” Napoleon Hill SAGE ADVICE 2 “There's only one mind.” When I first encountered this idea, it was in something I was reading that included a diagram—people connected like lightbulbs, all drawing from one main source. This can be seen as universal consciousness, or the collective consciousness, a reminder that we are all connected to each other and to the single intelligence behind all existence. It's a profound concept, but to me it simply means this: what I do matters, because it affects the whole. I believe our goal is to continually expand our awareness and deepen our consciousness—a feat that National Geographic describes as “the most astonishing act our big, complex, interconnected brains pull off, and scientists are only just beginning to understand” (The Brain, Julia Sklar). SAGE ADVICE 3 “We are a soul, we don't have one.” [v] This concept suggests that “the essence of a person is their soul” rather than their physical body. We did touch on the mind/body/soul connection with Marie Gervais on EP 214[vi] and I will always work on seeing the “spirit” of a person, and look deeper, than just taking what I “see” at face value. To better understand yourself and your goals, it makes sense to understand this concept that “we are a soul, we don't have one.” There is “perfection” within each of us, and that perfection is seeking expression (with and through us). I could spend an hour talking about this one from Thomas Troward's Dore Lectures of Mental Science where he explains that “My mind is A center of Divine operation. (think of a center of a basketball where there is power with movement, or so above/so below). The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, (we are always going to want more-if we are in sales, we will want more sales, if we are a runner, we will want to run faster. We will never be satisfied unless we are growing. We will always want to do what we do-better) and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, (we have never done this thing YET) something entirely new, not included in past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth.” (this is HOW we move towards what we want, that thing that we imagined, something that takes us BEYOND where we have ever been…into a whole NEW place that in the beginning we could only see with our imagination, until one day…we are living this thing or live we imagined). And with just diving into 3 tips of wisdom from EP 66, there is so much more still to cover. REVIEW and CONCLUSION To wrap up this week's Episode 366—where we revisited a clip from Episode 66, our interview with Bob Proctor—we explored: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Refining the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” ✔ Sage Advice #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind. ✔ Sage Advice #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice #3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how it continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. With that, we will close out this episode. I hope that reviewing our past interviews helps you to refine your goals this year, and work towards whatever it is that YOU really want. I'll see you next week with PART 2 of our review of EP 66. There's a lot still left to explore from this one.

What do mass deportation, smashed testicles, and elite boarding schools have in common? In this episode, we take a hard look at the shockingly effective—and horrifyingly brutal—bureaucratic machine that powered the Neo-Assyrian Empire.With the rise of Tiglath-Pileser III in the 8th century BCE, Assyria transformed into one of the most ruthlessly efficient states the ancient world had ever seen. At the center of it all? Castrated boys turned bureaucrats—eunuchs molded through violence, trained in literacy, logistics, and loyalty, and unleashed across the empire as obedient tools of imperial administration.We dig deep into the Musharkisu, Assyrian deportation policy, and the Sha Reshutu, the near-invisible palace institution that raised and trained eunuchs. Along the way, we confront the politics of mass resettlement, the logic of destroying elite bloodlines, and the strange fate of disabled foreign boys who became indispensable civil servants.This isn't a story of ancient gender theory or Orientalist decadence. It's the story of state-sponsored brutality, administrative genius, and how the Assyrian Empire created a class of men without legacies—only loyalties.

Send us a textAre you just one piece of content away from your breakthrough—or is it time to pivot?In this episode of CLIPPED, I'm digging into the emotional and strategic crossroads that content creators face when their stuff isn't landing—or even when it is. Inspired by Marc Maron's decision to shut down his legendary podcast and a Gary Vee moment with a creator who posted 300 pieces of content without traction, I'm breaking down what it really means to pivot and how to decide if it's time.I also get into my own recent pivot. I'm still podcasting, but I've been doubling down on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, and the results have been wild. It's made content fun again. Let's talk about burnout, change, and finding a new rhythm when things start to feel stale.A Word From Our Sponsor:This episode is sponsored by Riverside.fm Record high-quality audio and 4K video podcasts remotely, with built-in AI tools like transcriptions, show notes, and Magic Clips.

The recent shift from reporting Impressions to Views may be causing confusion and will likely prompt questions from clients.Historically, many of us considered views to be similar to impressions. But we're now seeing that views account for a wider range of interactions, including autoplay, looping, and multiple frames in a carousel. As a result, views can be up to 10 times higher than reach, whereas impressions typically hovered around 2 to 3 times reach. On Instagram specifically, research shows that views can be 25% higher than impressions, which is important to keep in mind.This shift may lead to a decline in engagement rate percentages, since the larger view count inflates the denominator. It's something clients may notice and question. It's also worth noting that an article in The Verge cautions that “views” can be misleading vanity metrics, as platforms often define them in ways that boost perceived performance without necessarily reflecting deeper engagement. For example, the article states that on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, a view is often counted the moment autoplay begins. Facebook even includes views of static text or photos that appear on screen.To help manage expectations, we strongly recommend flagging this change in your upcoming reports and client conversations. A brief note explaining the shift and why metrics may look inflated can go a long way in providing helpful context.TLDR: Expect bigger numbers: Views will likely be significantly higher than historical impressions, sometimes by 25 percent or even 10 times reach. Cross-platform comparison improves: Meta's shift to views aligns with how TikTok, YouTube, and X report metrics, making it easier to compare performance. Context is crucial: A view might be a one-second autoplay or a repeated carousel swipe, not necessarily meaningful engagement. Client guidance: Be sure to flag this shift and explain that it is a definitional change, not necessarily a reflection of stronger or weaker content performance.

She shares insights from their extensive coverage of the Diddy trial, highlighting their innovative use of AI to recreate courtroom scenes from real transcripts due to cameras being disallowed. She also explains their "YouTube-first" strategy, especially how focusing on in-depth, long-form content for their engaged audience differentiates them from other media outlets. Finally, she touches on the upcoming Tupac trial coverage and how they decide which cases to follow based on audience interest and their commitment to victims' families, citing the unexpected virality of the Gwyneth Paltrow civil case.But first: YouTube's impressive Q1 ad revenue, nearing $10 billion, and the strategic move to exclusively stream an NFL game in Brazil, aiming for record viewership. Also: the significant sales decline of Prime, the beverage brand by Logan Paul and KSI, and the related case study on the challenges of building sustainable creator brands beyond initial virality.00:00 Welcome to Creator Upload 00:24 AI's Impact on Future Parenting 01:19 The Hunt for Undiscovered Music & Content 02:48 The Double-Edged Sword of Content Access 03:14 AI Integration in Platforms (Roblox & YouTube Shorts) 05:13 YouTube's Q1 Ad Revenue Soars 07:12 The Decline of Prime & Sustainable Creator Brands 11:01 Marketing Beyond Virality 13:41 "Nothing Kills Bad Brands Faster Than Great Marketing" 14:50 Creator Passion and Brand Building 15:39 Law& Crime Diddy Trial Coverage & AI 19:06 The "YouTube-First" Strategy 20:59 Law & Crime In-Depth Content Approach 22:24 Upcoming Trials and Content Strategy 24:14 The Gwyneth Paltrow Case: Unexpected Virality 25:58 Wrap Up & FarewellCreator Upload is your creator economy podcast, hosted by Lauren Schnipper and Joshua Cohen.Follow Lauren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schnipper/Follow Josh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuajcohen/Original music by London Bridge: https://www.instagram.com/londonbridgemusic/Edited and produced by Adam Conner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamonbrand

El podcast "RadioGeek" número 2727 del miércoles 23 de julio aborda varios temas tecnológicos destacados: Google Fotos introduce la función "Remix de Fotos a Video" y nuevas herramientas de IA para transformar imágenes en videos dinámicos con estilos artísticos, incluyendo la integración de la tecnología Veo de Google. En un incidente que subraya la importancia de la ciberseguridad, una contraseña débil y un solo clic llevaron a la bancarrota a una empresa logística británica con 158 años de antigüedad y 700 empleados. Respecto a los futuros dispositivos de Samsung, se especula que el Galaxy S26 podría incluir chips propios fabricados por la compañía, aunque no serían de la serie Exynos, lo que sugiere una estrategia para abaratar costes sin sacrificar la calidad de los procesadores Snapdragon. Por otro lado, YouTube Shorts ha comenzado a implementar herramientas de inteligencia artificial generativa impulsadas por Veo 2, que permiten animar fotos estáticas y aplicar efectos creativos en videos cortos, inicialmente en Estados Unidos, Canadá, Australia y Nueva Zelanda. Finalmente, Google ha filtrado, a través de la Play Store y otros medios, detalles sobre toda su serie Pixel 10, incluyendo imágenes reales y confirmaciones sobre su diseño y características, adelantándose a su presentación oficial el 20 de agosto.

If you've ever linked products in your YouTube description box, get ready for the next evolution in creator monetization. In this 8-minute solo episode, I'm breaking down YouTube Shopping—YouTube's built-in shopping feature that allows creators to tag products directly in their videos.You'll learn:
You have seen the memes, and maybe you are even familiar with them, but today we look at who was the famous Ea-Nasir, why people would buy from him, and what scams he was probably running. We ask how often Mesopotamians complained about things, and we learn a bit along the way.In this episode, we go far beyond the famous complaint tablet to uncover the full economic and historical context of Ea-Nasir's career:His rise from wage-earner to property owner - His role in the first global trade network - The truth about the complaints and copper quality scandals - What his archive reveals about Mesopotamian law, shipping, and merchant guilds - And what it means that archaeologists found a box of receipts in his house.Along the way, we explore the bronze age economy, the origins of writing, and the hidden sophistication of Old Babylonian international commerce. We even follow the trail of copper all the way from Bahrain to Babylon—and maybe all the way to your favorite meme.Keywords: Ea-Nasir, Mesopotamia, copper merchant, ancient fraud, cuneiform complaint, Old Babylonian trade, Ur city history, bronze age economy, Akkadian history, ancient shipping, Alik Tilmun, Leonard Woolley, Hammurabi era, ancient scams, history meme explained, Babylonian documentsWhether you're a meme fan, a history buff, or just curious how a 4,000-year-old complaint became internet legend, this is your definitive guide to the oldest business scandal on record.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Boost Your Visibility | Grow Your Business with Brenda Eckhardt
Send us a textYouTube Shorts are the #1 low-effort, high-return marketing tool for small businesses right now.In this episode of Boost Your Visibility, I'm sharing why I went all in—and how one cap & gown Short hit 218,000+ views, brought in new followers, and STILL shows up in Google Search and ChatGPT results.
Send us a textOkay, let's talk about the thing that is straight-up hijacking our homes right now: screens. If you've ever shouted, “Get off your phone!” at your kid while... checking your own email for the 50th time that hour? Yep, same. That's why I brought on the brilliant, passionate, and hilariously relatable Emily Cherkin, also known as The Screen Time Consultant.Emily is a former middle school teacher turned full-time tech-intentional parenting badass. She's worked with families, schools, and even policymakers and has been quoted by CHUCK NORRIS, for crying out loud. But what really hit me? She gets it. She gets the emotional labor, the mom guilt, the struggle between “don't rot your brain” and “I just need 20 minutes of quiet to make dinner.”In this episode, Emily unpacks why screen time is actually a symptom, not the root problem; why parental controls are basically the IKEA instructions of tech parenting (look good on paper, don't really work); and how to shift our whole approach without going full “live in the woods with no WiFi” extreme.Also, fair warning: You will leave this conversation questioning the idea that your kid needs a phone “just in case they get kidnapped.” (Spoiler: statistically… no.)If you've ever handed over a screen and then immediately felt like a failure, or had a deep desire to yeet your kid's iPad into a lake, this episode is your new therapy. No judgment, no shame. Just some straight-up truth bombs and actual strategies that make sense in the real world.What's Inside: Why screens aren't the real issue, and what's actually going onThe sneaky ways screen time is hijacking relationships, not just attention spansWhy fear-based parenting (hello, Stranger Danger) is totally messing with our decisionsHow to build real-life skills in your kids before handing over the techFeeling overwhelmed and wondering if it's even possible to raise decent humans in a world full of TikTok and YouTube Shorts? You are not alone.This conversation is your reminder that you don't have to go full Amish to protect your kid's brain. Let's talk about what's working (and what's making you want to scream into a pillow). DM me on Instagram @oonaghduncan and let's swap screen-time war stories. Seriously. I want to hear what's happening at your house.Mentioned In This Episode:Emily Cherkin's book: The Screen Time SolutionLet Grow Movement, Lenore Skenazy's work on childhood independenceThe Light Phone (a non-smartphone alternative)Emily's WebsiteSocial Media Victims Law CenterFollow Emily on Instagram @thescreentimeconsultantOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

In 743 BCE, Tiglath-Pileser III—known in the Bible as Pul—led the Assyrian Empire into its most powerful and centralized form. This episode of Oldest Stories chronicles the dramatic military and political resurgence of Neo-Assyria as it faced two major threats: the rising Urartian kingdom of Biainilli to the north and the rebellious patchwork of Neo-Hittite and Aramean states in Syria. With detailed narrative drawn from Assyrian royal inscriptions and biblical texts, we explore Tiglath-Pileser's sweeping campaigns across Kummuhu, Arpad, Ulluba, and the Levant, showcasing how the king combined strategic force marches, sophisticated provincial integration, and unprecedented use of eunuch governors to stabilize and expand imperial rule. From the siege of Arpad to the subjugation of Tyre, Israel, and Simirra, the episode reveals how Assyria subdued the ancient Near East through a fusion of administrative innovation and battlefield supremacy. This pivotal moment in Iron Age history marks the beginning of Assyria's true imperial age—one defined by aggressive diplomacy, relentless warfare, and the creation of a durable bureaucratic state. For listeners seeking historical insight into ancient warfare, Assyrian governance, biblical archaeology, and the real-world geopolitics behind Old Testament narratives, this is an essential deep dive into one of the greatest military campaigns of the 8th century BCE.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber's Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life. Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie's American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.Key Discussion Points:Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son's emotional response to Father Robert Williams' ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber's Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.Dissipation's Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas' definition of peace).Useless Industry: Faber's critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today's text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God's will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one's state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:“Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”“He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”“The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”“Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”“Time is the stuff out of which...

Sleeping on YouTube Shorts = leaving serious money on the table. In this episode, David Brickley breaks down why YouTube Shorts is the most underrated (and underused) platform—and why your brand should be taking it way more seriously.
This episode is the essential starting point for understanding the Neo-Assyrian Empire. In 745 BCE, a relatively obscure man named Tukulti-Apil-Esharra—better known by his biblical name Tiglath-Pileser III—seized the Assyrian throne in what would become one of the most transformative moments in ancient Near Eastern history. This episode explores how Tiglath-Pileser's revolutionary reforms reshaped the military, administration, and ideology of the Assyrian state, laying the foundation for the largest and most durable empire the world had yet seen.We delve into the political collapse that preceded his rise, the obscure origins and contested legitimacy of Tiglath-Pileser himself, and the sudden consolidation of power that enabled him to bring Assyria back from the brink of fragmentation. We then examine his first campaigns in Babylonia, where Assyrian intervention brought order to the chaos left by years of Chaldean misrule, and consider the complex relationship between Assyria and Babylon—one rooted in reverence, rivalry, and shared civilization.This episode also introduces the deep structural changes Tiglath-Pileser initiated: the expansion of a professional standing army, the shift from vassalage to direct imperial administration, and the rising use of Aramaic alongside Akkadian. We explore the rise of eunuch officials, the growing importance of taxation within the core territory of Mat Assur, and how these policies would strengthen the empire in the short term while sowing the seeds of long-term resentment.From palace coups to temple politics, from highland conquests in the Zagros Mountains to the quiet rise of Nabonassar in Babylon, this episode places 745 BCE at the center of a vast historical transformation. It is a turning point not only in Assyrian history, but in the history of the entire ancient Near East, with consequences that would echo into the rise of the Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks. For students of ancient history, biblical history, Assyriology, and the origins of empire, this episode provides a detailed and foundational account of the birth of the Neo-Assyrian world order.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Lingthusiasm - A podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics
TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are an evolving genre of media: short-form, vertical videos that take up your whole screen and are served to you from an algorithm rather than who you follow. This changes how people talk in them compared to earlier forms of video, and linguists are on it! In this episode, your host Gretchen McCulloch gets enthusiastic about the linguistics of tiktok with Adam Aleksic, better known on social media as etymologynerd. We talk about how Adam got his start into linguistics via etymology, the process that he goes through to make his current videos get the attention of people and algorithms, and how different forms of media (like podcasts vs shortform video) relate differently to their audiences. We also talk about the challenges of writing a book about language on the internet when it changes so fast, comparing the writing process for Adam's upcoming book Algospeak with Gretchen's book Because Internet.
