China's influence in Africa's media landscape increasingly operates through content-sharing agreements, journalist training, paid placements, and support for local broadcasters. These "below-the-line" strategies give Chinese narratives a pathway into African newsrooms that extends well beyond the reach of traditional state outlets such as CGTN and Xinhua. But the push for greater Chinese influence raises a deeper question about decolonization. While Beijing presents its media engagement as an alternative to Western dominance, African journalists can be exposed to models of reporting that do not necessarily fit local political and social realities. At the same time, the shift toward social media makes the actual impact of these efforts increasingly difficult to measure. Emeka Umejei, a Senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg, joins Eric and Cobus to discuss the arguments from his book China in African Media: Between Influence Operations and Decolonization, content-sharing agreements, journalist training, and the future of African media independence.

In this special episode, four young hunters sit down to share the stories of their first successful big game animals. My son James talks about preparing for and harvesting his first impala in Africa at age nine with a suppressed 25 Creedmoor. Heidi recounts the excitement (and nerves) of her first deer hunt where she took both a doe and a management buck with a Savage .243, Jake describes the long road that led to his first cow elk in Colorado, and William details the DIY Idaho bull elk he shot near home with a left-handed 7mm PRC. From range practice and gear choices to the emotional rollercoaster of the shot and recovery, these young hunters share their accounts of what it was like for them to take that first animal. Whether you're a parent introducing your kids to hunting or a hunter who still remembers their own first success, this episode is packed with memorable stories from the next generation.

For decades, Africa has too often been viewed through the narrow lenses of crisis, conflict, and poverty. But today's guest has spent a lifetime making the case that the continent is far more accurately understood as a place of extraordinary opportunity, innovation, diplomacy, and global importance. Joining me is Witney Schneidman—former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the Clinton Administration, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, founder of an Africa-focused consulting practice, board member of the Corporate Council on Africa, and advisory board member of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art. In his new memoir, This Africa Idea: A Memoir of Discovery, Diplomacy, and Opportunity, Schneidman reflects on a career that placed him at the center of pivotal moments in modern African history—from South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy and the peace process in Angola to the creation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, one of the most significant U.S.-Africa trade initiatives in history. Today we'll discuss diplomacy, economic development, leadership, entrepreneurship, and why Africa's future matters more than ever—not only to Africans, but to the entire world.

What does it really mean to become a strong man—and can you still change your life after decades of mistakes, setbacks, and hard lessons? On this episode of The MisFitNation, Rich LaMonica sits down with Victor Bretting, author of *The Man That I Would Become* and founder of Bretting Texan Ranch, for a powerful conversation about faith, perseverance, masculinity, servant leadership, conservation, and the legacy we leave behind. Victor grew up without a father, watching his single mother work 60-hour weeks to provide for their family. Coaches became father figures, sports taught him discipline, and after losing his opportunity to continue college, a tough lesson from his mother sent him searching for his next chapter. That journey eventually became a nearly 50-year career in construction, where Victor built companies, led people, made mistakes, and discovered that leadership requires far more than being the toughest person in the room. For much of his life, Victor believed strength meant carrying the pressure, pushing forward, providing for his family, and never showing weakness. It took failed relationships, hard-earned perspective, and eventually writing his memoir to recognize something was missing: empathy. Today, his definition of strength looks very different. Victor talks candidly about why men need permission to communicate, feel, ask for help, and admit when they don't have all the answers. He also addresses the devastating suicide rate within the construction industry and why creating spaces where men can actually talk matters. His transformation didn't stop with business. What began as a retirement dream became Bretting Texan Ranch in North Texas—a family-centered operation with a mission of conservation, mentorship, service, and giving back. The ranch has donated dozens of hunts and experiences to combat veterans, terminally ill children, and faith-based youth organizations. Victor also takes us inside his life as an international sportsman, from hunting more than 140 species across six continents to tracking Cape buffalo in Mozambique and participating in rhino conservation efforts in Africa. He explains why responsible hunters and ranchers can play an important role in wildlife conservation and protecting species for future generations. But perhaps the most powerful part of Victor's story is when he found his greater mission. It wasn't at 25. It wasn't at 40. It came in his 60s. For anyone who believes they've wasted too many years, made too many mistakes, or missed their opportunity to become someone different, Victor has a message: It's not too late. Believe in yourself. Get off the couch. Keep moving forward. And persevere until you find the light at the end of the tunnel. In this episode: • Growing up without a father and finding mentors through sports • The lesson from Victor's mother that changed his life • Nearly 50 years of leadership lessons from construction • Why strength without empathy can become a weakness • Men, mental health, and learning to ask for help • Faith and perseverance during difficult seasons • Servant leadership and what it means to lead from the front • Learning from mistakes instead of being defined by them • Hunting, conservation, and protecting endangered species • Giving back to combat veterans and youth through Bretting Texan Ranch • Why Victor wrote *The Man That I Would Become* • Redefining success, purpose, and legacy later in life • Three things you can start doing tomorrow to become better Learn more about Victor Bretting, his book, and Bretting Texan Ranch: https://brettingtexanranch.com/ Follow The MisFitNation for more conversations with veterans, leaders, entrepreneurs, authors, coaches, and people who have been tested by life and turned those experiences into something that can impact others: https://www.themisfitnation.com/ If this conversation resonates with you, follow The MisFitNation on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, leave a rating and review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear Victor's message.

I enjoyed Shelton and Ke's fun, informative video style and their diverse choices in terms of cruising, so I thought they would be great guests to share their thoughts on the world's largest ship, Royal Caribbean Star of the Seas. I have had guests on to talk about Star of the Seas but now I have a newfound interest in Star. Plus, it has been well over a year since they have been on, and knowing Shelton and Ke', there is a lot of cruising to catch up to Cheryl and I thought we were done cruising for' 26 as we are focusing on the group trip that our travel agency, The Joy of Vacation by Dream Vacations is leading to Africa in the Spring.

Italy is increasingly pushing back against Europe's approach to illegal immigration, including a growing dispute with Germany over who should take responsibility for migrants rescued in the Mediterranean. On this week's episode of the Center for Immigration Studies' Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, Italian journalist Francesca Ronchin offers an Italian perspective on the migration pressures facing Europe and the growing frustration with uncontrolled flows.Ronchin, a journalist with RAI-Radiotelevisione Italiana, Italy's national public broadcaster, focuses on immigration in Europe. She explains the Italian government view that when German NGOs rescue migrants in the Mediterranean, Germany should take responsibility for them, rather than bringing them to Italy and subsequently asking Italy to take them back.Among the topics discussed:Italy and Germany: The dispute over Mediterranean rescues, asylum responsibility, and whether NGO rescue operations create an incentive for additional migration.Ceuta and weaponized migration: The large-scale arrival in Spain's North African exclave of Ceuta at the end of July, including the role of social media and traffickers and the view that Morocco used migration as a political tool.Immigration and Italy's demographics: Whether immigration can solve Italy's exceptionally low birth rate and what large-scale immigration means for wages, employment, taxes, and the welfare state.Integration and assimilation: The challenges of absorbing large numbers of newcomers and the difficulty of discussing assimilation openly in Italy.The migration route from Africa to Europe: Ronchin's documentary, La Grande Bugia – Eritrea Andata e Ritorno (The Great Lie – Eritrea There and Back), which examines migration from northeastern Africa and questions surrounding claims of Eritrean nationality and asylum. An English-language version is forthcoming.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestFrancesca Ronchin is a journalist with RAI-Radiotelevisione Italiana.LinksFrancesca Ronchin's X Account“La Grande Bugia – Eritrea Andata e Ritorno” (“The Great Lie – Eritrea There and Back”)Francesca Ronchin's author page at LaVeritaIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

CAPTION 1857 WALL STREET, 230 PM, PANICCONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 9-1-2026Economic Strength Persists Despite Oil PressuresLiz Peek observes that while Wall Street is split on whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in September, the American economy remains robust. Consumer spending is strong, small business profitability is at yearly highs, and hiring remains resilient. The primary economic headwind is rising oil prices fueled by the war in Iran. Additionally, she analyzes the investment potential of rebuilding Venezuela's ruined oil infrastructure, estimating it will take five years to yield significant production increases. Finally, Peek highlights how progressive groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and Chinese misinformation bots actively oppose crucial domestic data center development. (1)Russian Hybrid Attacks Destabilize European SecurityJudy Dempsey discusses European frustration over the unexpected presence of Russia's finance minister at a G20meeting, which highlighted a lack of communication within the transatlantic alliance. She details the Leipzig drone incident—a critical near-miss attack at a vital logistics hub for Ukraine—which is suspected to be a Russian hybrid operation. Dempsey explains how Russia leverages cyber and physical threats to instill fear, polarization, and anxiety among voters. This instability directly bolsters the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which capitalizes on eastern Germany's demographic decline, economic resentment, and euroskeptic nationalism. (2)Hidden Fiscal Challenges Facing Modern EconomiesJoseph Sternberg warns Americans about the hidden burdens of a Value Added Tax (VAT), a consumption tax common in Europe. Although pitched as simple, Sternberg argues that this tax creates immense compliance burdens for small businesses, requiring a full working week annually to administer. This complexity fosters a cash-based gray market to evade the tax. Furthermore, because the tax is concealed within product prices rather than added at checkout, politicians can easily hike rates without public outcry. Sternberg also contrasts Europe's expensive, highly regulated data center shortage with America's resistance to building the AI infrastructure crucial for its economic future. (3)Canada Navigates Trade Rupture With AmericaCharles Burton highlights the geopolitical fallout from the breakdown of US-Canada trade negotiations, which resulted in a fifty percent tariff penalty on Canada. This dispute sparked a surge of anti-American nationalism, boosting political support for Mark Carney, particularly in Quebec over French-language protection concerns. Consequently, Canada is rapidly diversifying its trade away from the United States, aligning closer with China and the European Union. Burton warns that Beijing stands to benefit immensely, offering trade access if Canada ceases opposing Chinese geostrategic interests, while Ottawa prioritizes west coast pipelines to ship oil directly to China. (4)Global Chaos Drives Rise of NationalismGregory Copley outlines how global actors leverage chaos to achieve strategic goals, noting China's aggressive attempts to disrupt the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau due to Taiwan's participation. Beijing's hostile diplomacy also targets Eswatini, Africa's sole state recognizing Taiwan, to strip Taiwan of international support. Copley notes that energy security is governed by transportation bottlenecks, highlighting the strategic importance of Cuban cobalt for future energy storage. Finally, he explains how uncontrolled migration and Russian hybrid operations drive resurgent European nationalism, prompting a breakdown of supranational systems like the European Union. He also touches on British royal dynamics. (5)Frustrated Voters Navigate Challenging Midterm DynamicsThaddeus McCotter interprets midterm election polling, explaining how the president's approval rating influences independent voters seeking checks and balances in Congress. He notes that high, near-identical disapproval ratings for both major parties reflect widespread voter frustration with outdated governing paradigms. Rather than outright anger, Americans are frustrated by the lack of sane, competent governance and positive, aspirational platforms. McCotter highlights how voters connect abstract foreign policies, such as ongoing operations in Iran, directly to their daily lives and pocketbooks through tangible domestic indicators like high gasoline prices. (6)University Core Curriculum Reform Offers PromisePeter Berkowitz discusses university core curriculum reform, pointing to a promising new proposal at the University of Texas at Austin. He argues that traditional core curricula fail because tenured faculty prioritize narrow research interests over student needs, leaving graduates without a foundational understanding of Western civilization, American political ideas, or global cultures. Under UT Austin's top-down initiative, the curriculum is divided into arts and humanities, social sciences, and STEM, offering deep introductions to major issues. Berkowitz contrasts this structured reform with conventional systems that students merely view as arbitrary academic hoops. (7)Syrian Integration Brings Hope and RiskAhmad Sharawi outlines regional developments in the Middle East, starting with a US-mediated agreement involving the IAEA and Syria to monitor nuclear material from the bombed Al-Kibar site. Although supervised by the IAEA, the material remaining in Syria poses a risk of theft or exploitation by neighbors. Sharawi also details the finalized integration of Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces into the national military, granting Kurds citizenship and language rights while expanding state control to ninety-seven percent of Syrian territory. This satisfies Turkey by ending hopes of Kurdish autonomy. Finally, he notes impending US sanctions against Oman for sanctions-busting. (8)

Beijing's hostile diplomacy also targets Eswatini, Africa's sole state recognizing Taiwan, to strip Taiwan of international support. Copley notes that energy security is governed by transportation bottlenecks, highlighting the strategic importance of Cuban cobalt for future energy storage.

The UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team's latest 1267 report traces a $50 million ransom from JNIM in the Sahel to Al Qaeda's senior leadership, puts the Islamic State at a “lower ebb” after the killing of two of its deputy leaders, and finds that about two-thirds of both jihadist groups' fighters are now in Africa. It also draws attention to risks from cross-border hostilities between Afghanistan and Pakistan and from jihadists released en masse from detention in Syria.Generation Jihad guest host Edmund Fitton-Brown, FDD senior fellow and former coordinator of the UN Monitoring Team, talks with Colin Smith, the Monitoring Team's current coordinator, about what the latest release shows about Al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and their affiliates, plus how the report is built and the challenges of keeping the spotlight on jihadist groups. Colin also explains the background to the UN's counterterrorism work, including his own team and the wider UN CT architecture.https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n26/171/00/pdf/n2617100.pdf

The senior adviser to US President Donald Trump on African and Arab Affairs, Massad Boulos, speaks exclusively to the BBC about why the US is asking the UN Security Council to approve a nationwide arms embargo on Sudan, a move Washington says could help end the war which has been ongoing for more than 3 years. A nationwide embargo would ban the sale, transfer or supply of weapons and military equipment to all sides of the conflict, including the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces.And, despite affecting millions of people worldwide, dyslexia remains widely misunderstood in Africa.

Iran's economy was in ruins even before the war, and before U.S. President Donald Trump's latest “D-Day” sanctions. So far, ordinary Iranians are bearing the brunt and feeling apathetic, meaning surviving leaders, for now, might face a lower risk of an uprising. Also: today's stories, including why tech leaders are moving to put data centers in space; why small-scale nuclear reactors are drawing interest as stable, economically feasible power generators; and a look at Côte d'Ivoire's economic aspirations as its capital, Abidjan, will soon be home to Africa's tallest building.

Send us Fan MailA story can be true without being factual, but it can't be powerful without an anchor. We start from a simple image: standing on a height and realizing that fear and fascination live in the same place. That “height” becomes our metaphor for storytelling, because the point you speak from determines whether your narrative sounds borrowed or original, small or expansive, hesitant or owned. We dig into why big franchises like Marvel make people believe. It's not just budgets or action scenes. It's the way they build a cosmic reality, a set of coordinates that gives every character and conflict a bigger meaning. We also point to films like Transformers and how Western culture gets woven into the fabric of the story until it feels natural, inevitable, and “of this world.” That's worldbuilding, narrative perspective, and consistency doing the heavy lifting. Then we bring it home: what happens when African storytelling refuses to perform as an afterthought? We talk about Afrocosmic reality, the idea that Africa is not a side plot in the universe but a source of origin, philosophy, imagination, and creative authority. The call is simple and demanding: tell your stories without apologies, own your coordinate, and let your narrative change the world for good.

Priyanshi shares her journey from mainstream television newsrooms to corporate business school at ISB, and her decision to build a new media model focused on unbiased, unsensational, fact-based reporting for global digital audiences.Priyanshi also breaks down her philosophy on why "every generation deserves old-school journalism," how the definition of the "informed Indian youth" shifted from apolitical to deeply engaged, why the boundaries between journalism, activism, and social media influencers must remain distinct, and how PEEK TV is detoxing online discourse to keep the global Indian diaspora connected to true ground realities.If you enjoy deep conversations on journalism, digital media, Indian democracy, technology, and identity across the global South Asian community, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE!--------------------------CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introductions and welcoming Priyanshi03:43 - The Journalist's Detox & Managing 24/7 News FOMO09:54 - The Informed Indian Youth: From Apolitical to Deeply Engaged15:15 - Delusion vs. Hope: How Youth Protests Re-Energized Indian Citizenship18:28 - Sponsor Break: TRAVELOPOD20:28 - Journalism vs. Activism & Influencers: Why Credibility Matters24:31 - Building PEEK TV: Short-Form Digital News Beyond Mainstream TV28:13 - Sponsor Break: Lotus Lane Coffee & Timberdog Ruffrest29:28 - Storytelling, Misinformation & "Detoxing the Discourse"37:52 - Algorithmic Polarization & Unlearning the "TV Anchor Tone"45:03 - Connecting the Global Indian Diaspora to Ground Realities48:01 - Hope, Dissent, and the Future of Independent Indian Media52:29 - Outro & Diaspora Community Shoutouts--------------------------EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Old-School Journalism in Short-Form: How PEEK TV brings rigorous editorial standards and fact-based reporting to short-form digital video platforms.• Journalism vs. Activism: Why maintaining strict independence and objectivity is vital for stories to retain public credibility.• Detoxing the Discourse: Overcoming algorithmic polarization, echo chambers, and sensationalism to deliver balanced perspectives.• The Diaspora Connection: How independent digital media bridges the gap for global Indians seeking reliable, unvarnished news from the ground.GUEST & HOST RESOURCES:

China's growing appeal in the Global South is increasingly being shaped by everyday commercial experiences, not just diplomacy or cultural exports. Chinese phones, EVs, apps, infrastructure, entertainment, and consumer brands are becoming part of daily life, creating a form of familiarity that may prove more durable than social-media-driven fascination with China. But this commercial reach carries a major contradiction: the same low-cost Chinese products that benefit consumers can intensify pressure on local manufacturers. Across Southeast Asia, Africa, and elsewhere, governments are responding with tariffs and anti-dumping measures as Chinese firms challenge domestic industries and potentially constrain industrial upgrading.  Lizzi C. Lee, fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, and Zhuoning Li, a research intern at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, join Eric and Cobus to examine China's expanding commercial soft power, including the China-maxing trend, the role of diaspora communities, and the tension between consumer benefits and local industrial competition.

In the last week in June a boat set sail from The Gambia heading for the Canary Islands. On board were an estimated 200 people, made up mostly of men of all ages as well as about 20 women and five children.Within weeks, only 36 would be alive; the rest killed by starvation and thirst as the engine failed and the boat got lost on the Atlantic migration route, now regarded as the deadliest in the world.As the days went on, bodies were thrown overboard and tension rose between the remaining desperate travellers who had paid traffickers to take them from impoverishment in west Africa to what they hoped would be a better life in Europe.A fishing boat found the distressed vessel in July, alerted authorities and the survivors were given medical attention in Mauritania before being returned home.It is estimated that since 2022 more than 20,000 people have died on this route.Sally Hayden, Irish Times reporter who specialises in migration, travelled to The Gambia and spoke to two of the survivors Alhagie Ngie (27) and Mustapha Secka (29) who gave eyewitness accounts.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.Sally Hayden's reporting was supported by the Simon Cumbers Media Fund Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How does a fellow with no attending paycheck yet, and a spouse working as a teacher, build a $600,000 net worth before finishing training? In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, Matthew, a newly minted transplant hepatology and gastroenterology physician, shares how a combination of frugality, consistency, and a few key advantages added up over more than a decade. A former Marine Corps infantryman who deployed twice, including to Iraq and off the Horn of Africa, Matthew used the GI Bill to avoid medical school debt entirely, while his wife's teaching salary supported the family throughout his training. He explains how he started contributing just $50 a month to his kids' 529 plans during medical school and residency, before he was even saving for his own retirement, and how that small, automatic habit grew into roughly $60,000 over more than a decade. Matthew also discusses their approach to budgeting, living well below their means, embracing hand-me-down furniture and garage sales, and navigating their biggest ongoing money disagreement: her love of travel versus his instinct to save and invest. Matthew's advice for anyone starting later or without every advantage: know where your money is going, live on less than you make, and recognize that everyone is building wealth with a different mix of strengths and weaknesses.
