If I Ruled the World is a New York-based podcast created by musicians, George Reynolds (Mind Over Matter / Day in the Life) and Sam Hoyos (Playing Dead / Carlos Danger). In each bi-weekly episode, the hosts share an insightful conversation with one artist, exploring the philosophy behind how and why they do what they do.
"No one is just one thing," Reynolds explains. "I think we often get a picture about a person based on the largest, most obvious thing they've ever said or done." He continues, "On a long form podcast such as ours, we get to address that and then get into the minutiae of what it is that the guest has done or is trying to do. It's our job to draw it out of them."
Similarly, Hoyos says, "Anyone we interview is already someone George or I really want to talk to. Whether it be a director, a musician or an artist, I love to know what drives them and influences them to do what they do."
Since releasing their first episode featuring Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw, Head Automatica, Color Film) in 2017, the podcast has gone on to host major names such as H.R. (Bad Brains), Jessica Pimentel (Orange is the New Black, Alekhine's Gun), Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife, I Am the Avalanche), Adam Lazzara, John Nolan and Mark O'Connell (Taking Back Sunday), and Shawna Potter (War On Women), to name just a few.

We've been in Iowa for most of the past two months, "securing a beachhead" and meeting as many people as we can. I've now visited 35 counties and shaken around 30,000 hands - and my team has distributed over 100,000 fliers across the state.
And it's starting to show. Even on the front page.
I know that nothing beats grassroots. And we've been doing more than grassroots - our campaign is a "grass seeds" effort.
Lately, I've been trying to visit every local paper and radio station I can, as I travel across Iowa. Because I know that, just as my mother did when I was a kid, people trust their local paper first, as you see in this tweet from Dickinson County Democratic Chair Brett Copeland showing the value of our approach:
I'm doing very well here in Iowa because I want to talk - and listen - to everyone.
But I need your help to take this campaign to the next level of TV and social media presence… so if you want a President who is accountable to you, and always working for you, please contribute!
Respectfully,
Joe Sestak

How Taking Better Care Of Your Teeth Might Prolong Your Life
Having poor oral health doesn’t mean just cavities and gum disease.
Statistics show that an unhealthy mouth can substantially increase the risk of suffering major health problems, including heart disease, respiratory infections, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetic complications. In fact, seven of the 10 leading causes of death listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been linked to bacteria or inflammation in the oral cavity. Periodontal disease has also been associated with premature labor and a low birth-weight baby.
Clearly, these are all good reasons to exercise consistent oral care, yet many people do not for a variety of reasons, says Dr. R. Craig Miller (https://drrcraigmiller.com), a dentist and author of Get Back Your Smile, Take Back Your Life!
“It’s not just teeth and gums; your whole body can be at risk if you let your dental health go,” Miller says. “But too often adults, and especially parents, have put themselves last, including in regard to their own dental care, which they might see as cosmetic and not an immediate necessity.
“As they age and neglect their teeth and gums more, their oral health worsens and it can definitely correlate with overall health issues. We’ve got to get more people learning how to take care of their teeth as they would their bodies.”
Miller suggests how to get to the root of the self-oral care problem:
Prioritize your oral care. Miller says that starts with recognizing behaviors that undermine self-care, or in effect, people putting themselves last. “Parents just get caught up in their daily family life,” Miller says. “When it isn’t family, it’s work. Self-care takes a back seat to everything else. Sometimes, this self-neglect stems from negative behavior patterns that began in childhood due to how they were raised. Perhaps a parent abandoned them, they were deprived emotionally, or they felt like a failure. Understanding and correcting those behaviors can help make dental care an important part of one’s improved self-image.”
Regular brushing and flossing. People with good oral hygiene spend less on health care overall. “While brushing and flossing well should be obvious, people would be amazed at how much better their teeth and gums would be if they simply adhered to a daily oral-hygiene regimen,” Miller says. “Proper brushing and flossing can turn back the clock on gum disease. Oral hygiene has a direct impact on the mouth’s microbiome, which is the balance of organisms that keep decay at bay. Without good oral hygiene, the mouth is at risk for developing periodontal disease — the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.”
Commit to a healthier diet. Excess sugar is one of the primary culprits of plaque, a sticky deposit on the teeth in which bacteria proliferate. “Bad bacteria in the mouth feed off sugar and are the primary drivers of oral problems,” Miller says. “Without eating healthier foods and having good levels of vitamins and minerals in the body, good bacteria turn to harmful, which leads to tooth decay.”
Stick with the program. “Dental treatment alone offers no guarantees for the long term,” Miller says. “The patient is the key person in the whole process. Successful outcomes rely on the patient to be a member of the care team. That means being open to being educated and following through with the dentist, and also it means what they’re doing outside the dentist office is just as important.”
“Your teeth are meant to be with you for life,” Miller says. “And how you take care of them, and your gums, could go a long way toward dictating how long, and with what kind of quality, you live.”
