Lady Bird Johnson’s daring 1964 whistle-stop campaign and the publication of You Can't Catch Us: Lady Bird Johnson's Trailblazing 1964 Campaign Train and the Women Who Rode with Her (Sourcebooks, March 3, 2026). You Can’t Catch Us is more than political history—it’s a powerful testament to women-led leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of civility during turbulent times. As Schmidt deftly illustrates, this journey—"the four most dramatic days in my political life," as Lady Bird herself called it—helped redefine the role of presidential spouses and advanced the cause of women in politics. 
In October 1964, as the South simmered under the tensions followi...

Prayer... is it a vow or a calling out? Like us trying to reach David in the open field. Is it an act of selfishness or a feeling that just because we're Christians that this is how you work for us?

A self-proclaimed "old soul," Alexia Jayy has been chasing her dream since she was 2. Inspired by icons such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway, she grew up performing - from her first solo at the Apollo at 5 to recording her own original music as an adult. Alexia's signature, accessory-adorned Afro has become a joyful extension of her personality and artistry. Life hasn't been without challenges, though. A single mother at 21, Alexia balanced raising her son, Matthew, with pursuing music, even writing her first single, "Who Raised You," in his honor. She later welcomed her daughter, Harmony, while continuing...

A heartfelt, one-of-a-kind memoir chronicling the hilarious, absurd, and thought-provoking experiences of an American pursuing comedy in China, learning first-hand how humor does and doesn't translate-and whether laughter transcends borders."I marched onstage in a long robe beside my Shifu, under the curious eyes of a thousand Chinese comedy fans, armed only with a microphone and the goal to kill onstage or die trying. Over the speakers, the host shouted: "Welcome to the stage: Master Ding Guangquan and his American disciple, Ai Jie Xi!"When self-proclaimed American class clown Jesse Appell signed up to study Mandarin in high school, he...

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities.

Daughters grow up believing their role in the family is simple: love your parents, help out when you can, and carry on the traditions that bind families together. But adulthood reveals a more complicated reality-one where women take on the invisible labor of emotional support, crisis management, and unspoken expectations that leave them feeling stretched thin and unseen.So, what is "daughtering"? It's the unpaid, invisible work women do to hold a family together-checking in, stepping up, and smoothing over-without ever considering its cost. In Good Daughtering, Dr. Allison M. Alford-a leading researcher in family communication-unpacks the untold story of a...

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

We all want a podcast the world enjoys checking in with. But are you selling out to popularity over purpose? Chasing the spikes. You need two things to survive in the world of podcasting and I've yet to hear a trade school share this with their students. Awareness and agility. It comes from you. But don't sell out to a spike.
