This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally. And I'm Hari Kundabolu. It's a new year, and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hola, I'm Jorge Ramos. This week on The Moment, we take a look at Venezuela's uncertain future in a conversation with two people who have directly advised U.S. presidents.

Juan Gonzalez during the Obama and Biden administrations. We're really good at invading countries. We're very bad at nation building. And Carlos Díaz-Rosillo during Trump's two terms. I can guarantee you that nobody in the Trump administration likes Delcy Rodriguez. Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of Checking In on the Black Effect Podcast Network. You know, we always say new year, new me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals. And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season whole and empowered.

Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck. Unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind.
Unknown 1:58
I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro. We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories on my 13th season of Family Secrets.

Hey there, folks. It is Sunday, January 11th, and a director and Emmy Award-winning actor is facing charges of child sex abuse, accused by two child actors who once worked for him. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Roves. This is one of those cases, and fair to say, the actor here is a name that's not immediately familiar, but you see the face and you go, oh, him.
Amy Robach 3:24
Yes, exactly.
Unknown 3:25
One of those cases. Yes.
Amy Robach 3:26
His name is Timothy Busfield. That would not have rung any bells for me. For a lot of you, it may have. But when you see his face, you'll say, oh, that guy, that guy who starred in 30-something, that guy who starred in West Wing, that guy who won an Emmy and has 750 professional credits to his name.
Unknown 3:46
And also, you had to remind me also who he's married to. Yes. I didn't register me at all.
Amy Robach 3:52
I had forgotten that this had happened. It seemed like a very happy third marriage for both of them, and maybe it still is. But he is married to Melissa Gilbert, a.k.a. Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. She is and was probably one of my childhood just obsessions. I love Melissa Gilbert. She was on GMA3 with us, a lovely woman. and actually has recently spoken out against child sexual abusers. So this is a very disturbing story.
Unknown 4:24
Now, is it fair to say that even if you didn't know his name, when you heard her name, did you know immediately who she was married to?
