This week on the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom discusses the growing trend of profanity among those in power—from presidents and governors—to moms at dance recitals. Once reserved for private moments, harsh language is now being thrown around on national TV, in interviews, and across social media feeds. What does this shift say about our society? Is it just the evolution of authenticity and relatability, or have we lost the ability to recognize when decorum matters? Join us as we unpack the meaning, the message, and the consequences of this verbal free-for-all—and whether there’s still value in knowing when to hold your tongue, and when to throw caution (and courtesy) to the #%&*! wind.

This week on the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom explores The Blame Game—our cultural compulsion to assign fault whenever disaster strikes. Prompted by the recent devastating floods in Texas, Mitch reflects on how, particularly in the U.S., tragedy is often met with finger-pointing before empathy or understanding. Is someone always to blame? Or have we forgotten how to accept that some events—natural or otherwise—are simply part of life? Before jumping to conclusions, ask yourself: Am I being too quick to blame? Sometimes the better path is perspective, not punishment. Tune in for a thoughtful look at how blame shapes our reactions, our relationships, and our ability to move forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom explores the complex nature of gratitude and obligation. True gratitude, when genuine, can be life-changing. But when imposed, it can feel much closer to shame than appreciation. How do we distinguish between authentic gratitude and the obligation to express it? And when we give, do we do so freely—or with an unspoken demand for acknowledgment? Reflecting on the words of Teresa of Avila, "When one reaches the highest degree of human maturity, one has only one question left: 'How can I be helpful?" Mitch explores how shifting our focus from receiving thanks to simply giving can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
