Pod Crashing Episode 282 With Author And Podcaster Annie Gudger Fascinated with the heart and its fifth chamber that holds more love, that holds shadows, Annie poetically chronicles her passage through grief and the beauty she found on the other side in her debut memoir, The Fifth Chamber. In 2022, about 60,000 children in the United States under the age of six lived with a single widowed mother, nearly three times the number of children living with a widowed father. Yet our society still shies away from open discussion about death and its aftermath, normalizing the tragedy and ignoring the pain. Crafted with lightning bolts of joy and sorrow, The Fifth Chamber is a tender and lyrical memoir about the dance of loss and life, and how grief can make the heart beat stronger than ever before. Annie and her daughter Maria Gibson have a podcast - Coffee, Grief, and Gratitude. For Annie, writing about love and loss has been her life’s work, publishing works in The Rumpus, Real Simple, Tupelo Quarterly, Atticus Review, Sweet Lit, Cutthroat, Cutbank, Columbia Journal, and many more.

Pod Crashing Episode 281 With Doctor’s RoseMarie, Laurie Santos And Sesame Streets Groover From The Happiness Lab Podcast Yale's Laurie Santos, a psychologist who explores the science of well-being in her popular podcast The Happiness Lab, is teaming up with a group of familiar characters who have brought joy to generations of children. On Sept. 18, Santos will be joined by Grover, Big Bird, and Abby Cadabby, three members of the beloved children's show Sesame Street, for the first in a three-part podcast series on how families can improve their emotional well-being and feel happier. Santos, who five years ago launched "Psychology and the Good Life," a wildly popular course that enrolled more than 1,000 Yale College students - and who this year launched an online version of the class for teenagers - hopes the new series will offer similar evidence-based happiness tips with younger students. The three-part series - which features tips on regulating emotions, cultivating happier mindsets, and developing more positive self-talk - is aimed at young children and their parents, she said. "The tips we share in the podcast can help listeners of all ages," said Santos, a professor of psychology in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. "They're relevant whether you're aged 3 or 103."

At 14, she confessed to her priest that she was attracted to women and was instructed not to tell her parents. Over the next seven years, Alana covertly received conversion therapy which her family believes played a role in her fate. Simon, who sought to change his sexual orientation through conversion therapy for nearly a decade in his efforts to become a priest, is compelled to understand the truth of what happened to Alana-and finally face what happened to him. "Dear Alana," is an unraveling mystery and a poignant spiritual memoir about teenage rebellion and spiritual manipulation, the price we pay to belong and the systems that pay no price at all.

Pod Crashing Episode 275 With Courtney And Steven From Journalista The untold story of the woman who broke one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history. The true story of Courtney "Cookie" Hood, former model and ex-wife of a Colombian drug cartel kingpin, hired to manage the CBS/60 Minutes field office in Managua, Nicaragua during the civil war in the '80s. What starts as another big party for her, ends up being the history making adventure of a lifetime, blowing the lid off the Iran-Contra scandal and almost taking down the Reagan presidency. JOURNALISTA follows the dangerous and improbable life of Cookie Hood, who teams up with Larry Doyle, legendary wartime drug fueled news producer for CBS and the courageous wartime journalists covering the civil wars, revolutions, and US missteps in Central America. Stephen Kinzer (former bureau chief of the New York Times) writes: "During the 1980s and 1990s, Cookie Hood was the driving force behind the most successful television coverage of Central America that appeared anywhere in the United States." Cookie is hired by legendary combat journalist, Larry Doyle, who's willing to break any rule to get the story, putting his career on the line over and over again to find the truth. Using her unique mix of charm, balls, and passion for social justice, to get through checkpoints, into jungle military camps, and the highest levels of government. They are also a clear and present danger to the shadow U.S. government that is using Central America as a right-wing terror experiment in their fight against communism. Cookie and her cohorts are brilliant trainwrecks speeding down a path to self- destruction. At the same time, they might just change the world.
