  • I recently fell victim to a crypto investment scam, resulting in a significant loss of digital assets. The experience was not only financially devastating but also emotionally draining.

They presented themselves as legitimate investment experts, using convincing language and fake credentials to gain my trust.

  • A feel-good podcast

    With her friendly interview style, Michelle Norris brings us back to our childhoods and makes us think about food and how our experiences with family meals have shaped us. Sentimental and kind, the podcast is a nice respite from the terrible stories we hear every day in the news. Michelle Norris is a warm and gentle voice reminding us that people and our connections to them are what life is about. She also has one of the best voices for radio that I have ever heard.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cooking for the Crowd with Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East
Q: What advice do you have for people, whether they're leaving a sport or leaving a job or just, you know, we call it retirement. It needs to be almost rewirement. You know, you have to kind of rewire your routines and really your whole mindset.
Shawn advises people not to navigate transitions alone, recommending support from someone who can provide guidance and, when possible, professional help. Andrew adds that mentors, peer groups, and coaches helped them adjust after sports.
Cooking for the Crowd with Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East
Q: And Shawn, for you, what was your relationship with food? And how has that evolved?
Shawn says she began with a healthy relationship with food, but pressure and restrictive thinking emerged after she joined the U.S. gymnastics team. She later worked with dietitians, studied nutrition, and came to embrace moderation and enjoyment.
The Kitchens That Gave Astronaut Victor Glover the Strength to Fly
Q: What is the right stuff when you think about going into outer space?
Glover describes it as the ability to make sound decisions and do the right thing in a physically hostile, distracting environment, while recognizing that spaceflight's technical challenges have changed more than its human and family demands.
The Kitchens That Gave Astronaut Victor Glover the Strength to Fly
Q: At what point were you interested in space travel, and when did you think you might go to the military and eventually become an astronaut?
Glover says his childhood ambitions were varied and he did not initially understand what becoming an astronaut required. A trusted Black faculty mentor in college, who was a Navy Reserve officer, helped him see himself in uniform and led him toward the Navy. Later, hearing astronaut Pamela Melroy speak about her crew inspired him to apply to become an astronaut.
How Comedian Murray Hill Found Family in Showbiz
Q: What was the reality?
Hill says his family life was abusive and chaotic despite appearing like a conventional family from the outside. He describes emotional and physical abuse, political and religious conservatism, and years of estrangement before explaining how teachers helped him leave home.
