For decades, Ripley has covered some of the most devastating disasters of our age and has set out to find new ways to handle them quicker and smarter. Timelier than ever, this new edition updates all the original research and features timely material on enormous, slow-moving disasters such as pandemics and climate catastrophes. Most importantly, it reveals the brain's ability to do much better-with a little help. To further understand the human reaction in imminent danger, Ripley turns to leading brain scientists, trauma psychologists, and other disaster expert ranging from COVID first responders and survivors, a Holocaust survivor who studies heroism, to a master gunfighter who learned to overcome extreme fear. Disaster can come in many forms, from earthquakes and wildfires to pandemics and acts of terror. Afterward, when the dust settles and the survivors emerge, we can't help but wonder: Why did they live when so many others perished? THE UNTHINKABLE explains the perils of crowd psychology, the elegance of the brain's fear circuits, how leaders can build trust quickly, and other invisible factors that can make the difference between death and survival.

UFC, WWE, and Olympic superstar, multi-ESPY Award-winner, and Hollywood actress Ronda Rousey has stepped out of the ring and into the world of comics. Artists Writers and Artisans (AWA), the independent developer of bold, original stories from the world's most outstanding creators, announced today the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Rousey's graphic novel debut, EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED Penned by Rousey and edited by Axel Alonso, AWA Chief Creative Officer and former Editor-and-Chief at Marvel, with art by Eisner and Ringo Award-winning comic book artist Mike Deodato, Jr. (BAD MOTHER, WONDER WOMAN), the graphic novel draws on Rousey's incredible career in the ring and pairs it with Deodato's martial arts background to create the most accurate and action-packed fight scenes in comics! Her codename: "Mom." With a fake baby bump filled with guns, she's built a reputation as one of the deadliest hitwomen on the planet. But on the verge of her big break in the criminal underworld, Mom makes a fateful decision: sleeping with a potential target (who just so happens to be a top-ranked assassin himself). A few weeks later, Mom finds that her codename is about to become a whole lot more literal. What follows is a wild mashup of action, adventure, comedy, and romance as a newly pregnant Mom with a bounty on her head fights off wave after wave of assassins, falls in love with her baby daddy, and decides how to face her personal and professional predicament. EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED sets a new bar for the authenticity of fight scenes through a unique creative process developed by Rousey, Deodato, and AWA.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

MAUREEN JOHNSON’S first stand-alone mystery in many years, DEATH AT MORNING HOUSE, features Marlowe Wexler, a queer teen who unlike Stevie, is no detective. Heartbroken after a disastrous date, she finds herself in a summer job working at a grand but dilapidated house in the Thousand Islands region of northern New York at the Canadian border. It’s there she stumbles upon two mysteries—one in the present day and one kept concealed since the 1930s. The novel begins with a fire, though it wasn’t Marlowe’s fault. But she’s sure that Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist. With her house-sitting career up in flames, Marlowe ends up as a tour guide at Morning House, a mansion built by Dr. Phillip Ralston, where he once lived with his wife, six adopted children, and young son. Marlowe uncovers a series of clues that lead her to the dreadful realization that the grounds of Morning House are hiding a horrific secret.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

A thrilling sports story, Men in White is the tale of the young athletes who defied the doomsayers and rescued Penn State's football program from the horrors of the Jerry Sandusky scandal-told by the players themselves. On November 5, 2011, the news that Jerry Sandusky had been charged with forty counts of child molestation rocked Penn State's leafy campus, unseating the university president, the athletic director, and head coach Joe Paterno-devastating the football program he had erected and diligently maintained over half a century. Men in White recounts the saga of the student athletes who elected to stay and rebuild the program in the face of crippling NCAA sanctions, blistering heat from the outraged media, and radio silence from the adults in the school's administration. With the once proud program in free fall and their personal fortunes in peril, these young men refused to back down, toiling for five long seasons to rehabilitate the program and its ideals, culminating in the stirring come-from-behind defeat of Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game. Their story echoes that of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, a cast of young men-colossal underdogs-who boldly accepted the challenge of a lifetime, achieving success while shouldering the weight of a bruising political drama. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Introducing Cheaters & Backstabbers!, a hilarious journey into the wacky world of infidelity, brought to you by the dynamic duo of comedians Shari Diaz and Kate Robards. Join Shari and Kate each week as they fearlessly tackle the absurd and outrageous antics of cheaters with their signature blend of humor, wit, and sharp commentary. Laugher is often the best medicine when it comes to heartbreak, - this new podcast explores the wild tales of the "outrageous antics" of cheaters offers just that, with a dose of heartfelt advice. The duo are often joined by special guests that run the gamut, from private investigators who specialize in tracking down unfaithful partners to counselors and other "seasoned professionals" to guests sharing their own personal stories of betrayal. In the most recent episode released on Tuesday (July 23), Diaz and Robards were joined by personal trainer and Robards' childhood friend Michael Keeney who explained how he went on a journey of accepting his sexuality and coming to terms with being gay, all while being engaged to a woman. "I always wanted to be in a relationship, but I was a raging homosexual even not knowing it," he said of meeting his now ex-fiancée, adding, "I was so desperate to be loved and to feel validated because I was so afraid that I was this thing that everyone said I was. And I finally had someone who was interested in me... I knew that I could love her, and I did. I loved her with everything in me that could love a person." Keeney and his ex dated for two years before getting engaged, but he said their relationship was him "showing up with grand gestures" without "being able to be a partner," admitting that he was "awful and selfish and not a good partner." "I do believe that people did not expect that it would end well, because I do believe that people saw who I really was and that I was lying enough to myself and everyone else to know that," he said. His ex ended called off the engagement which ultimately led Keeney to moving to New York City where he met his now-husband. Speaking to the hosts, he stressed the importance of being "authentically you" and not cheating on yourself. "If you are who you are, you're not going to cheat on yourself. You're going to give yourself the best because that's what you deserve at all times," he said. "And your back should be strong, your heart can be open. If you are authentically you, when things are stabbing you in the back, you're able to show face and move forward. If there's shame, then your back is weak and you crumble, and every single one of those knives digs deeper and deeper into you. And when those knives are self-inflicted, they're even worse because you don't have the hands to get them out if you're putting them in." Cheaters & Backstabbers has new episodes every week.

The upcoming Democratic National Convention will be a significant political moment where all eyes will be on Chicago. Is law enforcement's ability to secure this iconic American event in a vulnerable state? We've all heard about the assassination attempt on Trump-have the various security team in place for the DNC learned anything from that incident?Frank Figliuzzi, national security analyst and regular columnist for NBC News and MSNBC, can address these issues. As the former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI and representative to the security, threat and intelligence team overseeing security for the 1988 DNC in Atlanta, Figliuzzi can discuss the risks/threats that law enforcement will be watching for at the DNC in Chicago, including: . The attempted assassination of former president Trump may incite copy-cat attempts on the democratic party nominees and they travel in and around the DNC.. The FBI director previously advised Congress that the "most lethal" for of domestic violent extremism is racially/ethnically motivated. The fact that Kamala Harris is of mixed race increases the threat to the DNC.. The lone actor, intent on violence, is the toughest threat to defeat.. In addition to domestic terror, the global picture - including the Israel-Gaza conflict, pending retaliation against Israel from Iran and/or Hizbollah, and potential coordination between Hamas, ISIS and other groups, means that international actors could be contemplating a high-profile attack here, during the DNC..

The date August 12th marks two significant and big events in the life of the band Fleetwood Mac. On that date in 1967, the original band, consisting of founder Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie and guitarist Jeremy Spencer, made their stage debut at the National Blues & Jazz Festival in London. This heavy blues version of the band was a far cry from the group most fans are familiar with today. Exactly 30 years later, the classic lineup of Fleetwood, McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie reunited on stage for the first time in 15 years on MTV’s full concert program, “The Dance.” Fleetwood Mac is a tale of many bands filled with numerous personalities who’ve all left an indelible mark on their sound. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Pelumi Olatinpo's journey, a remarkable tale of resilience and determination, began at fourteen when he and his family escaped Nigeria's military dictatorship. Their quest for a better life led them to Italy, and later, during a fateful trip to Canada, Pelumi and his 12-year-old sister hatched a daring plan to start anew in America. Under the cover of night, they embarked on a 15-minute speedboat journey across the Niagara River, crossing the Canadian border into the United States. As undocumented immigrants, they arrived on the shores of Buffalo, New York. President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and President Joe Biden's recent executive action were life-altering for Pelumi and his sister. These policies granted them employment authorization documents, social security numbers, and a clear path to citizenship. In 2022, Pelumi proudly became a United States citizen and is now the county executive-appointed commissioner on the Montgomery County (Maryland) Intra-Agency Commission on Homelessness. In his new poetry book, POETA: Sonetas and Sonnets, Pelumi introduces a unique form of sonnets: Sonetas. These condensed sonnets, a testament to his creativity and resilience, serve as a powerful medium for expressing his experiences of oppression, violence, immigration, racism, and hatred, all through the lens of his arduous journey to US citizenship.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Hernandez, and Janelle Ortiz were four marginalized women striving to make ends meet as sex workers. They looked out for one another. But they would soon share a connection that none of them could have imagined. When Melissa was found dead, the other three women were on edge but assumed they were safe. Twelve days later, they too were dead and police had detained an unlikely suspect-Juan David Ortiz, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he carried a badge and a service revolver and was entrusted to protect the community in which he eventually killed. From September 3 through September 15, 2018, Ortiz, a husband and doting father to three children, lured his victims into his white Dodge truck and drove them to the outskirts of town where he violently executed them, leaving them dead or dying on the sides of dark, rural roads. In this fast-paced, electrifying tick-tock, USA TODAY journalist Rick Jervis tells the gripping story of the four murders that shook the small border town of Laredo, and the quest to unmask a cold, calculated killer who was hiding in plain sight. THE DEVIL BEHIND THE BADGE is also a deeply human portrait of the four lives lost and an attempt to uncover what motivated Ortiz's descent into darkness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

A Fortune magazine journalist draws on his expertise and extensive contacts among the companies and scientists at the forefront of artificial intelligence to offer dramatic predictions of AI's impact over the next decade, from reshaping our economy and the way we work, learn, and create to unknitting our social fabric, jeopardizing our democracy, and fundamentally altering the way we think. Within the next five years, Jeremy Kahn predicts, AI will disrupt almost every industry and enterprise, with vastly increased efficiency and productivity. It will restructure the workforce, making AI copilots a must for every knowledge worker. It will revamp education, meaning children around the world can have personal, portable tutors. It will revolutionize health care, making individualized, targeted pharmaceuticals more affordable. It will compel us to reimagine how we make art, compose music, and write and publish books. The potential of generative AI to extend our skills, talents, and creativity as humans is undeniably exciting and promising. But while this new technology has a bright future, it also casts a dark and fearful shadow. AI will provoke pervasive, disruptive, potentially devastating knock-on effects. Leveraging his unrivaled access to the leaders, scientists, futurists, and others who are making AI a reality, Kahn argues that if not carefully designed and vigilantly regulated AI will deepen income inequality, depressing wages while imposing winner-take-all markets across much of the economy. AI risks undermining democracy, as truth is overtaken by misinformation, racial bias, and harmful stereotypes. Continuing a process begun by the internet, AI will rewire our brains, likely inhibiting our ability to think critically, to remember, and even to get along with one another-unless we all take decisive action to prevent this from happening. MASTERING AI delivers much-needed guidance for anyone eager to understand the AI boom-and what comes next. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The "Black Widow", Jeanette Lee, achieved legendary billiards status when she became the top-ranked female pool player in the world during the 1990s, winning over 30 national and international titles. Lee, dressed in black from head-to-toe when she decimated her prey in that span, later had her career be a focus of an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary. In her new book Black Widow: A Memoir (Triumph Books, 8.13.24), Lee looks back at her illustrious career, lifelong struggle with scoliosis, and a public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Jeanette was 18 years old when she walked into a New York City pool hall and became enamored by the elegant geometry of the game. Before long, she was an unmistakable figure on the international competition circuit, dressed head-to-toe in black, stalking the billiards table and gazing down her cue as if tracking her prey. In this new memoir, the woman nicknamed 'The Black Widow' opens up about her legendary career and the rich, unpredictable life she's woven around it.
