What is the significance of Ruby Bridges' story?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. I am the Therapy Gecko. I am an unlicensed lizard therapist who takes phone calls from real anonymous humans about their problems, such as this.
Sometimes I'll have my girlfriend pre-chew spicy food and kind of baby bird it into my mouth. Is that weird?
This week on Therapy Gecko, we're hearing all real, authentic human stories about anything from relationships to family drama to serendipitous encounters with unexpected people and things. If real people pique your interest, this is the podcast for you. Listen to Therapy Gecko on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history.
I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets.
He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off.
And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

Hey Sabrina. Hey Will. I'm excited for today. And I know that sounds strange, but when we do these type of movies, they're usually really good. I know.
And this is not an exception to that. Yeah. This was... This one actually, though, I will say, was hard for me.
Yeah, this was hard for me too. This was hard for me too.
This one was... I think this one out of the ones we've done based on a lot of the same kind of topics...
This one was the toughest one for me. I pretty much cried, I would say, through 70% of this. I couldn't get myself out of it.
It's because it was visceral hate in this movie. There's an undercurrent of hate in the other movies where the children are trying to find the hate, trying to find where it comes from, why it's there, where this is just... This is spewed at a little girl being aided on.
Yeah.
Spewed at a little girl for for almost 90 minutes. And it's just it was this was a tough watch, but an important watch. Yes, exactly. That's a great way. A tough watch, but an important watch. It was done very well. But it was it was probably the one of the if I think it's easier for me to say than not. the toughest one we've watched so far. Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree. It also could arguably, if we're again, when awards show season comes around for us, I mean, the ensemble cast in this film is just off the charts. Yes. So yeah, this was a tough one, but a good one, and we will get into it. But before then, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs, and your popcorn and go back to a time when all the houses were smart.
