Hi Friends, I’m Arthur Brooks, a social scientist, Vanderbilt professor, and columnist at The Free Press. I write, speak, and teach about the science of human happiness, blending neuroscience, behavioral science, philosophy, and religion for insights on how to live better and be happier. Each week on Office Hours, you’ll get a glimpse into the research on happiness and explore how to use it to improve your life—and share what you learn with those you love. Join me in the movement to build a happier world–starting with you.

When a small French coastal town is plunged into chaos, the world discovers what happens when political power and supernatural forces collide.
The local mayor Gilles d’Ettore wants to spiritually connect with his late father, so he seeks the help of professional mystic Sophia Martinez. However, the psychic sessions soon spiral out of control, with anonymous phone calls from heaven leading to an abuse of power that shatters the facade of small town serenity. Has Gilles been bewitched by Sophia?
With their entanglement the talk of the town, locals start questioning if Gilles is using his position to favour the mystic, or is he simply a generous leader? Is Sophia preying on a vulnerable man, or are her actions helping Gilles fulfil his need to believe?
Presenter Anna Richardson and journalist Leo Schick unravel this story from the very beginning, investigating how our past can shape our actions, and vulnerability can be both a strength and a weakness. They explore how the actions of Gilles and Sophia propelled a sleepy tourist trap onto the front pages of newspapers all over the world.

The Breaking Brad Podcast is a no-holds-barred, unfiltered health and wellness show hosted by biotech founder and antimicrobial resistance survivor Brad Burnam. After nearly dying from a drug-resistant infection, Brad — a patient with no medical degree — created his own solution, took it through the FDA clearance process, and built a globally recognized biotech company in the process.
Each episode shines a spotlight on the unseen cures and scientific breakthroughs that already exist — and asks the uncomfortable question: why don’t we have them? Through unfiltered conversations with top minds in medical science, biotechnology, nutrition, functional medicine, and health policy, Brad pulls back the curtain on our healthcare system, stifled by outdated frameworks, legacy regulations, and institutional inertia — all of which can slow or even block real progress.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, an entrepreneur, or someone who’s tired of waiting for change, The Breaking Brad Podcast delivers unapologetic insight, expert interviews, and transformative ideas that challenge the status quo — and imagine a future where healing comes first.

He left home as the chubby kid with a dream, a decade later, he’s a touring comic with a killer set. Literally. In Wisecrack, stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returns to his hometown for a charity gig, only to find himself headlining the most terrifying night of his life. The warm welcome quickly unravels into a chilling true crime tale of a downward spiral and a town shaken by murder. When TV crime producer Jodi Tovay stumbled across Edd’s comedy set, it did more than get a few laughs, it opened the door to a years-long investigation she never saw coming. Part comedy special, part true crime thriller, Wisecrack blends punchlines with plot twists in a genre-defying ride where the laughs are real and the danger is no joke.
