    Healing Magic - 056

    Healing Magic - 056

    Magic has the ability to do so much. From teaching you how to make people smile and laugh to learning how to turn around a potentially negative situation. But magic also has real healing powers too. In this episode, you’ll learn how that can be!

    The quote in this episode is from  Doug Henning: “The art of a magician is to create wonder. If we live with a sense of wonder, our lives become filled with joy.”

    Coming together - 055

    Coming together - 055

    This is a great time to take notice when humanity unites by coming together to help those who are struggling or help those who are helping others. This episode talks about some shining examples of people all over helping or recognizing those in need.

     

    The quote in this episode is from Pope Benedict XVI: “A united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time: from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live, from the proliferation of weapons to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet.”

    Book Behind Bars - 054

    Book Behind Bars - 054

     Prison can provide some of the most isolated situations. But it also can provide a lot of time to read books and learn. This episode dives into a program designed to help provide books to those incarcerated in America and emphasizes on the importance of reading for anyone, even if you aren’t in prison but just isolated at home.

    The quote in this episode is from Erich Fromm: “In times of change, learners inherit the earth”

    Love Rome - 053

    Love Rome - 053

    You can give money to someone who is hungry or you can make sandwiches for them and their friends! That’s exactly what has been happening in Rome Italy. A place filled with love, and several volunteers who are part of a group called RomAmor.

    The quote in this episode is from John Bunyan: “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

    Stay Strong - 052

    Stay Strong - 052

    We are in need of kindness and the world is looking to you for some of that. But when things get tough, you might need a little pick me up. You are not alone, and this special episode hopefully will share some form of comfort when you yourself need to do a life check. How can you stay strong? This test of will is about learning how to stay strong and that’s what Jeff wants to talk about with you.

     

    The quote in this episode is from Bernice Johnson Reagon: “Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.”

    A great selflessness - 051

    A great selflessness - 051

    We are learning from so many different people especially from teachers. But in this story a teacher learned of someone else’s selflessness that helped her teach her classroom.


    The quote in this episode is from Nancy Astor: “Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.”

    #154: Trail of Tear Gas

    #154: Trail of Tear Gas
    #154: A Trail of Tear Gas

    Cellar Door Skeptics starts the show off talking about their Thanksgiving experiences and if the politics divided their dinner tables this year. They also talked about their charity of the week BeNice. Mental health is the main focus for this program as it works to educate schools on bullying and techniques to help schools better cope with the issues that are affecting students now a days. Their science segment this week looks at Plants and Ants, which came first and how evolution played a role between species that are not able to breed. The political segment this week talks about Trump's desire to take control of the military troops to “protect” the border without running afoul of Congress. He has authorized “Force” for the troops to deter individuals seeking asylum. The duo looks at what legal asylum is and if Trump is violating the law. They also examine the border spectrum to determine what the long game that Trump is trying to play. The show ends as usual with the Quick Saves of the week.
