Medical Myths, Legends & FairytalesThe Latest Research: How Red Meat Can Improve Your Health with Dr. Gabrielle LyonBetween the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place. Should doctors make massive health recommendations based on weak evidence? It seems strange, but one of the most controversial points in a healthy diet is also one of the most essential — protein has been villainized for too long and is the topic of today’s myth-busting episode.

Medical Myths, Legends & Fairytales2020 Update on Leaky Gut — The New Hypothesis with Dr. Tamara Duker FreumanBetween the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place. Leaky gut is the catchall scapegoat for bloating, fatigue, and constipation, but is it a real diagnosis? Is it possible that it’s not a real condition at all? Also known as increased intestinal permeability, leaky gut is a digestive condition in which bacteria and toxins are able to "leak" throug...2020-09-1451 min
Before, Behind and BetweenLessons from a Circus ManHis most well-known quote tells us that there is no such thing as bad press. It turns out that PT Barnum had a lot more wisdom about promotion than just long-lasting quotes. I recently read Barnum's memoirs, originally published in the late 1860s. PT was not only a showman and promoter, but he knew people, how to read people, and how to build and retain a customer base. And the main advice he shares? Be polite and kind to your customers. This episode briefly highlights some of Barnum's wisdom in the context of today's challenges of communication, sales and...2020-09-1003 minBefore, Behind and BetweenThe Music TreeDid you know that some researchers claim that the roots of so-called classical music can be found in ancient Egypt? Music genealogy is fun stuff. It's that fascinating connection of one style of music, even a single performer, to another style or performer. And the connections can sometimes be surprising. This episode highlights some of those connections, and talks about the sources of several genres of music.

And without that knowledge, we never build a sustainable solution. This advice has been conspicuously absent in political strategy -- until lately. The Democrats might have hit on something valuable by endorsing the Biden-Harris ticket in the 2020 presidential election. It depends more on who goes out to vote in November.

Each recording captures not just the setlist from a particular show (or series of performances), but the feel of the time, ambiance and acoustic quality of the venue, the fan response, and, of course, the technology available when the recording was made. Suffice to say that isolating one live recording as the "best" live Rush disc is a daunting task. This episode surveys the many live recordings out there, and demonstrates why each is one is great in itself.

Music captures attention, and it helps cultivate appeal, community and affinity. In short, music matters. In the world of politics and political messaging, music is just as important, and used increasingly in various forums. From elections to awareness-raising events, and sometimes even as a component of lobbying, music plays an integral role in selling, recruiting and retaining. As a testament to the power of music, remember that the only audio in silent pictures was the musical accompaniment.

All reviews, including this Top 10 list, are fundamentally subjective, so will vary from one viewer to the next.

Sometimes we find histories and legacies of racism, hate and exclusion. There are examples of such names that pretty much everyone considers clear-cut. Then there are those that are questionable, as this episode explores. The takeaway here is that we cannot be guided by an ideological tilt towards cleansing; we've experienced too much that despotism. We also must exercise caution to steer clear of a reactionary judgment or condemnation of anything from the past. If we are to re-write names of things or places, we'd better...2020-07-1609 minBefore, Behind and BetweenWe All Are IllusionistsThe art of illusion is critical to the successful cultivation of brand and image.

The Animated Series of the early 1970s was, more or less, a translation of the original series that retained its high-brow science fiction story-lines with mediocre animation. Lower Decks, in contrast, seems to be a somewhat lower-brow take on the TNG era, told within superior animation. This one looks very different than any other Star Trek offering out there, which gives it promise. A legacy of TAS of the 70s is the writing, with many of those stories...2020-07-1504 minBefore, Behind and BetweenWhy are Companies Assuming Social Positioning? Is It Meaningul?Companies taking a stand on social causes hasn't been around all that long. Granted, during the major wars, companies were recruited to extend wartime messaging. But having a company's leadership declare that it stands for stronger environmental protections, social equality or inclusion, for example, date back only within recent decades. The reason for this should be obvious: companies exist to make money, not champion social causes. Even if one of their main objectives were to champion social causes, a company's leadership is neither accountable nor elected by the public at large. The corporate entity ultimately answers to a different...2020-07-1008 minBefore, Behind and BetweenCreative Destruction - How Has it Hit You?It sometimes hits us bluntly, like a hammer. Other times, it's more like an elegant symphony. Creative Destruction happens when one technology (and all associated with it) is replaced by a new innovation, which eliminates (and destroys) what was once there -- but often blossoms into something new and perhaps even better. While it can be interesting to read the lists of jobs and areas of employment that are forecast to become eliminated and replaced by newer forms of technology; doing so can drive us to ask ourselves if we once had a job that has since been eliminated...2020-07-0906 minBefore, Behind and BetweenThe UN at 75: A New Beginning?This year we see the United Nations reaching its 75th anniversary.

Even members of Rush themselves have remarked on the videos as not really standing up to a quality that represents the output of the band. But is this an accurate or fair assessment? This episode talks about the difference between Rush's concert footage, the mini movie productions specially put together for stage complement, and the official music videos themselves. The discussion also recommends giving a fresh look at the video catalog, and compare that with other video output of the band (for example, concert films).

Social isolation and the shutdown of most workplaces around the globe have afforded many people more opportunities to reach out through the various social media platforms. This can be enormously beneficial. Yet we are learning that social media seems perfectly suited to those whose main addiction is being outraged at something or someone. It has become a vehicle for the recreation of being offended. It is a world where dialogue is limited to prescribed narrative.

If you know you can't achieve anything remotely close to your expectations, why not completely turn the issue upside down and conceptualize something new, something crazy perhaps. What if the so-called hub cities for 2020 were designated as smaller locales, preferably where universities are also located? Who knows? Crazy thinking like this might actually deepen the roots of CFL football across Canada.

But this one, in fact, may evolve into something much bigger. The question discussed in this episode: "Is is possible for a narrator to tell a story without influencing the viewpoint of the audience?". There was once a guiding sense of professionalism in this field that dictated that the reader ought to draw his or her own conclusions, that the writer (or reporter, as might be the case), is not part of the story and should not be exerting his or her views.
