Not in a Huff with Jackson Huff

This week we journey into the world of the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement with Ruthy Heiler a woman who was born into it all. We talk about the warped teachings that these churches teach, the deep connection they all share than makes them anything but "independent", and her own story of sexual abuse and the cover up that immediately started once found out. We also talk about the HBO Max documentary "Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals" that she was featured in. This is a powerful conversation you will not want to miss!

This week we jump into the ring with Katherine Smith who is a data analyst by day and by night a professional wrestler. We talk about the world of wrestling entertainment. Is it a sport? Does it hurt? Does her co-workers know about her alter-ego?! This was a fun conversation about yet another profession that I knew very little about going into the chat. Whether you are a huge wrestling fan or know very little I do not think anyone will want to tap out of this one!

This week I speak with the film duo sisters taking the film festival circuits by storm with their enduring movies. We speak about the process of making a movie, their message for other women in the industry, and the Heartland Film Festival submitted movie that I watched call The Country Club.

The Country Club is a comedy centering on two young women (Fiona Robert and Sophia Robert) who hatch a plan to win a junior golf tournament prize at a prestigious Hamptons country club. But once they encounter the quirky, wealthy patrons at the club, they are thrust on an adventure of mistaken identity, love and finding friendship in the most unlikely of people.

This week I speak with Chef Adrianne Calvo who became the youngest person to cook for the United Nations and its ambassadors, has competed on Food Network’s Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay and was recognized for her recipes and concepts in Bon Appetit, Better Homes & Gardens, USA Today, and Saveur. The true testament to Chef Adrianne’s focuses and dedication was in 2020. When the restaurant industry saw some of its toughest moments, Calvo pursued her biggest expansion and relocate her flagship restaurant.

In spring 2021, she made the decision to document this pursuit and launched a YouTube series entitled, “Searching for Maximum Flavor.” The travel show combines food, fun, and adventure in 20-minute episodes wherein Calvo meets the creators behind- and studies some of- the country’s most iconic dishes, and then gives them a vibrant dose of her “maximum flavor,” at-home in her kitchen.

This week is PART TWO in a conversation I had with Emily Elizabeth Anderson about a topic covered once before, IBLP and the documentary created about it all. After growing up in a fundamentalist cult for 23 years and experiencing childhood domestic violence and sexual assault, Emily began her journey to recovery in 2015 after bravely entering a lawsuit formed against the cult and its leader, Bill Gothard.

She found writing to be a crucial outlet through her personal healing journey and she later turned her love for writing into her platform, Thriving Forward, educating on the realities of trauma survival and recovery, Emily’s focus has been to create a space for survivors to experience support, as well as find community with others who have experienced similar trauma Emily's story has since been featured on several media outlets including NPR and Amazon Prime's hit docuseries, "Shiny Happy People" and she shares it with us today.

This week we blast off for a trip "Around the Sun" with the writer/director of the episodic podcast of the same name. We talk about how a COVID project has turned into a medium that has allowed him to share his stories and have some of his biggest bucket list actors join him in turning his writing into a reality in recording. The players each week really are a who's who in Hollywood of yesterday and today. I think you will enjoy hearing Brad's passion for the project and in no time you will be checking out these 10 minutes episodes yourself!

From junkie to judge is quite the phrase and my guest this week Mary Beth O'Connor has certainly lived quite the life. We start with being left at a nunnery as an infant, being pick back up 6 months later by a preoccupied mother, to then deal with an abusive stepfather throughout her childhood. Like to many troubled teens Mary Beth turned to drugs and alcohol to lessen the burden of home. This addiction was one that she fell deeper and deeper into throughout her teens and twenties where at 32 she decided it was time to get sober. After that we go on a journey of taking her own path in the recovery world and when she was on stable ground going to law school. She then later became a federal judge! This is quite a journey and one that we can all learn a lot from. Junkie to judge...sounds improbable, but that is Mary Beth O'Connor and nothing is impossible.

This week we dive into the Not so SHINY and certainly not HAPPY world of the Institute of Basic Life Principle's aka IBLP organization. An organization that was featured in the Amazon Prime documentary "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets". We learn about the smooth talking leader, Bill Gothard and the truly heartbreaking things he was teaching people. We learn the terrible things he was doing to "Gothard Girl's" and we unpack how the Duggar family, of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting fame, became the token family of this organization. Lindsey also walks us through growing up being homeschooled using the teachings of IBLP, something they called ATI (Advance Training Institute) where she introduces us to "Wisdom Books" that provided little real wisdom and were certainly not advanced. So, whether you watched the documentary and want more insider information or are learning about this all for the first time I urge you to listen.

This week we dive into the jump on stage with DOCTOR Neil Berliner as he tells us how he balances a career in psychiatry with her role as a comedy writer as well. From writing for Comedy Central Roasts, to Howard Stern, to Mad Magazine we talk about what makes a good joke and the balance between fun and just mean. This was a fun chat and goes into the age old question "why is that funny?".
