    Introducing Live from SXSW - Outdoing Cancer Is A Team Sport from Science Will Win.

    Follow the show: Science Will Win

    While cancer deaths in the United States have declined in recent years, some populations are being left behind—facing complicated challenges to accessing the care they need. Intervening at the earliest stages of disease onset is critical to cancer treatment success and to reducing the risk of recurrence. So how do we create a world where all people with cancer are quickly diagnosed and can live better, longer lives as science advances? In this conversation, patient advocates and healthcare leaders from Pfizer, the American Cancer Society, and the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association, discuss the power of collaboration in the effort to “Outdo Cancer.”

    Moderator
    • Tyrone McClain, Senior Director, Public Affairs, Pfizer
    Speakers
    • Carmen White, U.S. & Global Oncology Health Equity Lead, Pfizer
    • Pam Traxel, American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network
    • Mary Stutts, CEO, Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA)

    This episode was recorded live in Austin, TX on Monday, March 10, as part of Pfizer’s takeover of the South by Southwest podcasting lounge.

  • 2025 #049 - Robert Irwin’s Shirtless Debut & Australia’s Identical Twins Go Viral

In between, there’s Demi Moore’s “Most Beautiful” comeback, Robert Irwin going shirtless on Dancing with the Stars, and Oprah catching heat from the Beyhive for shading Tina Knowles on her Book Club podcast.

    Introducing Death of a Salesman (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

    Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

    On a June night in 1997, Kathy Peters was asleep at her home in Mirror Lake, a quiet neighborhood of Sarasota, Florida. Around 3:45 AM, she was awakened by a strange noise. It was unlike anything Kathy had ever heard – a faint, eerie, rattling hiss. After a few seconds, the sound faded and Kathy tried to go back to sleep, but now she was too anxious. So she got up and crossed to the window. She opened the blinds and looked across the lake's glassy surface. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But then she nearly jumped out of her skin when a loud, metallic banging noise sounded right below her window. Someone was pounding on the screen door. Kathy hurried downstairs, wondering who could be bothering her at this time of night. She considered not answering, but Mirror Lake was a safe community. There had to be a reasonable explanation… so she opened the door. Through the screen, she could see someone standing in the darkness. Kathy asked who it was and what they wanted - but the figure didn’t respond. By now, Kathy was absolutely terrified, so she switched on the porch light. And when she saw what was in front of her, she reeled back in horror.

  • 2025 #048 - Honey Boo Boo’s Back & Billy Ray’s Gone Feral

    Pat & JT go full chaos round-up in this one. Starting with Honey Boo Boo’s return to TV via a Lifetime biopic called I Was Honey Boo Boo. Then it’s on to Billy Ray Cyrus’ weird Instagram soft-launch with Elizabeth Hurley, flannel and bunny ears included. Also, Meghan Markle is accused, again, of swiping someone else’s idea, this time for her failed Netflix series Pearl. Allegedly, she lifted it from a British author’s Pearl Power books, and the receipts are spicy.

  • 2025 #047 - WTF Is A Diverging Diamond Intersection?

    Pat & Beth just wanted a chill weekend—until Costco plants turned it into a full-on dig fest (and a near-internet disaster). JT's cats lose their favorite perch, patio furniture gets demoted, and both admit they're sore from… mild activity. Also: Omaha’s wild new “diverging diamond” intersection is about to confuse everyone, mystery cables spark internet theft theories, and remember when Dodge Street was crawling with cruising teens? Yeah. We’re officially old.

    Introducing Deepak Chopra: How to Ask AI The RIGHT Questions To Grow, Heal, and Live a More Fulfilled Life from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?

    Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?

    Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.

    Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.

    Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom

    How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing

    How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling

    How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity

    How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality

    How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology

    Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
