<\/p>\n

This week is pretty much about podcasts – great podcasts<\/em> – with a a touch of entertainment! From living a healthier life, cultural events and a focus on old Hollywood, you’ll have a fresh stock of inspiration for the upcoming week.<\/p>\n

THE BEGUILED<\/a> \u2013 Sofia Coppolla\u2019s new film makes for the most enjoyable melodrama around. Compassionate female leads and a somewhat vulnerable male lead make this a wholly different version than the Don Siegel 1971 film. We\u2019ve got bottled up passions and cool motivations that lie behind the first half of the film, only to explode toward its end. Winner of the Director\u2019s prize at this year\u2019s 2017 Cannes film festival, \u2018The Beguiled\u2019 will have\u00a0 you as captivated as its characters.<\/p>\n

THE ULTIMATE HEALTH<\/a> \u2013 This is a podcast that inspires to reach your potential in healthy living. There are interviews with health and wellness experts and its weekly show with Dr. Jesse Chappus serves up an array of tips toward achieving a proactive model of health. The podcast\u2019s Marni Wassermann, believes a healthy lifestyle can begin to be as simple as eating real food every day, make it simple and delicious and you\u2019re on your way.<\/p>\n

CLASS DOJO APP<\/a> \u2013 A free App that is available via Apple Store and Google Play is essentially a social media community for parents, students and teachers. Parents can see their children\u2019s schoolwork by photos and videos the teachers upload. It\u2019s a shared classroom experience, one where parents can even \u2018like\u2019 what they are viewing. Taking it even further, a behavior tracking element to this app, allows parents to see how their child is doing based on how the teachers take or give points based on their conduct. In some instances this can be useful.<\/p>\n

YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS<\/a> \u2013 Karina Longworth\u2019s best kept secret is out. This podcast gives me so much happiness, she narrates, records, edits each episode in her home. The storytelling is on point and is all about the forgotten history of Hollywood. It is raw and gives a real insider perspective to the stories that mystify us when it comes to the legends of the screen, the movies we love and those who made them. Guests include: Dana Carvey, Adam Goldberg, and Wil Wheaton.<\/p>\n

WAKING UP<\/a> – Yet another podcast, this week, I know! But from neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris, comes a fantastic podcast exploring facets of the human mind, society and all manner of current events. Harris is also a best selling author of \u2018The End of Faith\u2019 (winner of 2005 PEN award) and \u2018Free Will\u2019, among many others. Many of the topics are controversial and touch on the nature of our moral lives.<\/p>\n
