Speaker 3 (06:46):
Scientists from the University of South Australia spent four years
studying remote work. In their findings are pretty clear. People
working from home tend to be healthier, happier, and just
as productive as their in office counterparts. One of the
biggest perks more sleep. Remote workers get about thirty extra
minutes a night. They also report lower anxiety and stronger
(07:08):
engagement with their jobs. Without the daily commute, which averages
about four and a half hours a week, people have
more time for family and hobbies and rest. Some studies
even estimate this adds up to ten extra days a
year plus. Working from home encourages healthier habits like cooking
more and eating healthier food. On the productivity side, workers
(07:31):
are more efficient, meetings are tighter, and managers are focusing
more on results than just showing up. Perhaps more importantly,
having the freedom to choose where and how to work
seems to be the key to a long term motivation
and balance. Seems when remote work is done right, it's
a win for both the employee and the organization.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
For most jobs during COVID we both work from home
for shreetly.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Briefly, I did not like it.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
No, I didn't either.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I kept. I just made sure I kept.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I think I worked from home maybe a total of
five days, and then I came into the studio.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's just you know, which there was nobody in the buildings,
which was awesome, right. Yeah. A lot of parties and
celebrations happened during the holidays, which means potential hangovers. In fact,
a survey found the average adult we'll spend three days
hungover in the month of December. While you can add
this to the list of hangover cures, a doctor and
(08:27):
TV personality in England, doctor Zoe Williams, has come up
with a hangover sandwich. This is the recipe for bread.
You want half whole grain and half white. That's the
perfect fiber to protein mix.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Also eggs any style, bacon or a veggie alternative, and avocado.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Why this particular combo, Well, the doc says eggs are
packed with B twelve, insisting to help detoxify your liver.
Avocado is loaded with potash see him to balance electrolytes
and bacon saltiness helps replenish lost salts. Doctor Williams suggests
washing it down with water or black tea for best results.
For your hangover.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, keep that in mind. All right, let's do this
all right. Time for another top ten list.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
