Conscious Embodiment: Astrology and Dreams with Dr. Michael Lennox Michael Lennox Understanding the twists and turns of life can be confusing, leaving us looking for answers! Join expert astrologer Dr. Michael Lennox every Monday as he fills you in on the week's astrology, and helps you make sense of your dreams. This podcast is for those of you piecing together life's mysteries one week at a time. Explicit Believe Her Lemonada Media Believe Her is true crime, upside down. In September 2017, young mom Nikki Addimando shot and killed her partner, Chris Grover. She was sentenced to nineteen years to life in prison for murder. Through rare access to police audio, a month-long trial, conversations with Nikki, and original reporting, journalist Justine van der Leun lays out the killing, the evidence, and the aftermath. As this six-part series unfolds, listeners will put together different pieces of a disturbing puzzle. One thing is clear: perception ≠ reality. Believe Her is a riveting chronicle that grapples with assumptions we make about domestic and sexual violence, the long reach of trauma, and the ways in which survival is criminalized, leaving us shocked at how far people will go to avoid seeing what's right in front of them. From Lemonada Media and Spiegel & Grau. Explicit Strawberry Spring iHeartPodcasts and Audio Up, Inc. Based on the short story by Stephen King, Strawberry Spring is a scripted podcast set against the backdrop of the sixties revolution on the campus of New Sharon College. We follow a generation of students who don't trust authority, the futile efforts of the local police, and a young, determined reporter as he chases the bloody trail of Springheel Jack, an unrelenting, modern-day Jack the Ripper. After vanishing and leaving his murders unsolved, Jack is back - along with a new Strawberry Spring, a weather pattern with an unusual fog bank that rolls in every eight years. Using the fog to hide his tracks, he taunts New Sharon with fresh kills, each murder more violent than the last. The 8-episode season stars Garrett Hedlund, Milo Ventimiglia, Sydney Sweeney, Herizen Guardiola, Al Madrigal, Ken Marino, and Brec Bassinger. Explicit The Honestly Unfiltered Podcast Jeni Thomas As women of a certain age, very few people talk about what happens next when it comes to children leaving the nest, how our bodies change as we get older, or how relationships with friends and family and even our spouses change as we get older. We created a Podcast that embodies subjects you would talk about with your closest friends. The things that you would say, "Oh, that happens to me too." Because, in times of uncertainty, it helps to know that you are not alone.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Explicit
