A Pod Named Kickback

29:53

Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

Love, Law & Lunacy: From Postpartum to Power Games. 53:54

6 days ago53:54

53:54

In this week’s episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu' and Get Fit with Jacq take a deep dive into the viral Haley Bailey & DDG situation—specifically unpacking the controversial topic of postpartum depression. Nu' breaks down his viral social media post and the firestorm that followed: men vs. women, assumptions vs. empathy, and what it really means to support a woman through postpartum when even she may not know she’s struggling. “It’s not just crying in silence—it can be behavior that’s unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable. So how do we protect the baby, the mother, and the family unit?” From there, the convo expands to: How celebrity custody battles affect the children long-term Diddy’s dark spiral and the bizarre pattern of free-for-all sexual requests The ongoing genocide in Gaza, with heartbreaking footage of Palestinians being gunned down while trying to get food The brewing cold war between Trump & Elon Musk—money vs. political power, and who really wins when billionaires and world leaders clash It’s deep. It’s wild. It’s real. And it’s a conversation you need to hear before forming your opinion. 🎙️ A Pod Named Kickback: Grown, sexy, ratchet, and responsible. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

What’s really going on behind the scenes? • New developments in the Tory Lanez case—Rep. Luna reveals evidence that could change everything. Is Tory innocent? What does that mean for Meg? • Elon Musk steps down from the White House—wait, what? Is this about Dogecoin? Is it a distraction to protect Tesla?
