Podcasts about Albania

The year winds down, but our maps are just getting interesting. After a warm reset in Florida, a birthday pilgrimage to Iceland, canyon time in West Texas, an Austin do-over, and a passport-stacking cruise, we took a hard look at what actually made 2025 travel feel good—and what didn't. The frenzy cooled, flight deals quietly returned, and a new mindset emerged: go with intention, spend smarter, and skip the crush.From that lens we reveal seven destinations we're excited about for 2026, all chosen with solo women in mind: Albania's affordable Riviera and rugged Alps, Taiwan's festival-rich culture and flawless transit, Uzbekistan's Silk Road splendor stitched together by high-speed rail, Poland's overlooked mix of medieval squares and Baltic breezes, Slovenia's lakes-and-Alps perfection anchored by walkable Ljubljana, South Korea's Seoul where palaces meet neon and late-night eats, and Mongolia's vast steppe, monasteries, and wild horses that reward guided exploration. Each pick balances safety, value, and texture, offering big experiences without elbowing through the usual lines.We also share why revenge travel finally ran out of steam, how to spot mistake fares without chasing noise, and when shoulder seasons stretch budgets while keeping the magic. If you're ready to trade overdone itineraries for places that still surprise, this guide is your green light. Listen to map your next move, then tell us where you're headed.

Today, we say hello to my friend Genci, pastor of Eagles Church in Tirana, Albania, along with all our brothers and sisters who live in Albania. Genci is a man of character who loves his flock and has a beautiful family. The point of mentioning we are sinners, bigger on the inside and lonely, is to demonstrate our great need not only for salvation but to know and be known by others, most critically, God. In the lives of Jeremiah and Job, we see lives that are fully satisfied and trusting in the deepest of sorrows. But how did they get there?By consistent communion, conversation (prayer) with our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.In a challenging, nearly 50-year ministry with Almighty God, Jeremiah learned through every circumstance:"There is none like Thee, O LORD; Thou art great, and great is Thy name in might.” Jeremiah 10:6"I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself; Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.” Jeremiah 10:23"Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain? Or can the heavens grant showers? Is it not Thou, O LORD our God? Therefore we hope in Thee, For Thou art the one who hast done all these things.” Jeremiah 14:22"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27"Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Thine anger, lest Thou bring me to nothing.” Jeremiah 6:24And above all,"Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:23-24Brethren, let's pray for one another."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Welcome back to When Words Fail Music Speaks, the show that explores how music can lift us out of depression, anxiety, and everyday struggles. In today's episode, host James Cox—your “professional handicapped” guide to the power of sound—sits down with Grammy‑winning arranger, composer, and multi‑instrumentalist Fletch Wiley.We dive deep into Fletch's remarkable story: a childhood trumpeter from Seattle who chased his dream to the University of North Texas, survived a battle with drugs, found a life‑changing conversion to Christianity in 1971, and has since devoted his talent to ministry, touring the world with his wife under the Heart and Art initiative.From the nuts‑and‑bolts of jazz—Fletch's recommendations for newcomers (Chuck Mangione, Kirk Whalum, Chris Bodie) and his take on the “all‑wrong‑notes” myth—to the art of arranging across genres (worship, film scoring, children's music, theater, and big‑band projects), the conversation reveals why he believes jazz is “the highest form of music” because it demands real‑time improvisation, listening, and technical mastery.Listeners will also get practical tips for getting into jazz, a behind‑the‑scenes look at his global benefit concerts (Turkey, Egypt, Albania, Nigeria, South Africa), and a few lightning‑round fun facts that showcase his personality—favorite coffee, dream super‑band lineup, the instrument that would complain the most, and the single piece that moves his soul (Beethoven's 2nd Movement of the 7th Symphony).Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado, a country‑music lover, or simply searching for the therapeutic resonance of melody, this episode offers inspiration, humor, and a heartfelt reminder that music really does speak—and can heal. Tune in, settle in, and let Fletch Wiley's story and wisdom harmonize with your own journey.

Peter Lumaj, Fairfield attorney, GOP strategist, former Albanian political refugee, and 2026 Conservative candidate for Connecticut Secretary of State, joins The Steve Gruber Show to share his remarkable story. Lumaj opens up about escaping communist Albania, the struggles that shaped his worldview, and how those experiences fuel his passion for defending freedom today. He also discusses his candidacy, why he believes protecting elections and civic integrity matters more than ever, and the dangers of authoritarian ideologies. From personal triumph to the fight for liberty, Lumaj's journey is both inspiring and a warning about the stakes in preserving freedom in America.

The philosopher knows what it means when certainties disappear. As a teenager in Albania, she experienced the end of communism and the collapse of state structures. Her literary debut, “Free“, became a bestseller, and her new book, “Indignity“ has just been published. As a professor of political theory at the London School of Economics, Lea Ypi thinks more broadly and fundamentally than others about the challenges of our time. She laments the inequality created by neoliberalism and what that means for our societies. She wants to see a new political project that does not rely on the strength of individual states, but on cooperation and equal rights for all. At FREIHEIT DELUXE Jagoda Marinić and Lea Ypi discuss why people doubt democracy, what appeal an EU weakened by crises still has, why borders only apply to certain people and why fear is an important factor in writing literature. Here you will hear... what the true meaning of freedom is (4:50) why many East Germans do not believe in democracy (10:48) why the idea of the nation state is a myth (23:37) that the EU needs a new political project (41:34) what distinguishes the Berlin Wall from the border between Mexico and the US (48:35) that the narrative of the criminal migrant obscures the real problems (56:46) why writing literature is so difficult and why she does it anyway (1:04:27) FREEDOM DELUXE with Jagoda Marinić is a Hessischer Rundfunk production in cooperation with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association.

In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Brian Nygaard and Michele Pelacci as we run the rule over the 2026 Giro d'Italia just presented in Rome.  The ‘Corsa Rosa' will start from Eastern Europe for the second year in a row. After Albania this year, next May it'll be Bulgaria's turn to host Italy's national tour - at a hefty price. In part three of the episode, we hear from Eurosport's Bulgarian reporter Simeon Kichukov about what the Giro should expect from Bulgaria and his homeland from the race. We then ‘revisit' Albania - checking in with their national coach, Mejdin Malhani - to find out what legacy, if any, the Giro has left there.   There's also discussion about which GC contenders might actually be tempted to throw their hat into the ring. Should Jonas Vingegaard seize this chance to complete a Grand Slam of Grand Tours? One of our hosts this week certainly believes so… EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveA few years ago, Lea Ypi was scrolling through Facebook when she came across a family photo she had never seen before. Someone had discovered a photograph of Ypi's grandparents on their honeymoon and posted it on a public Facebook group. Ypi — a philosophy professor from Albania who teaches at the London School of Economics — was dismayed by the comments on the photograph, which ranged from inaccurate to judgmental to just plain mean. Were the husband and wife in this photo Albanian aristocrats? Fascist collaborators? Victims of Communism? Responding to the trolls — as well as, as she puts it, “taking the trolls seriously” — Ypi decided to write a book reconstructing her grandparents' story. The result is Indignity: A Life Reimagined, a book which asks, among other things, what does human dignity really mean? What makes this book even more interesting is that Ypi's grandparents lived through some of the most dramatic moments in the twentieth century: the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Fascism, and World War II. Ypi joins Damir and Santiago, who want to understand Ypi's own philosophical priors. Damir wants to know where moral responsibility ends and and the structural forces of history begin. Santiago asks whether dignity, as a concept, has a metaphysical foundation. The result is a wide-ranging conversation that covers history, literature, philosophy and more.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Santiago asks Ypi about the difference between Fascist and Communist decision-making; Damir presses Ypi on the question of free will; Ypi discusses her two-point prescription for a better Europe; Santiago asks Ypi whether it's hard to write about one's country in a foreign language; and finally, Ypi's hot take on Zohran Mamdani.Required Reading:* Lea Ypi, Indignity: A Life Reimagined (Amazon). * Lea Ypi, Free: Coming of Age at the End of History (Amazon). * Immanuel Kant, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (Amazon). * Friedrich Schiller, On the Aesthetic Education of Man (Amazon).

Alexandra and Nina open the episode with a rundown of the latest news, including ongoing American diplomacy vis a vis Russia and Ukraine, the closure of the Hungarian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a new ruling by the European Court of Justice related to same-sex marriage, the election results in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania's positive progress toward EU membership.Alexandra is then joined by Catherine Baker of the University of Hull for the main interview. Catherine is a specialist in post-Cold War history, international relations, and cultural studies researching national identity and popular music during and after the Yugoslav Wars. Together they discuss some of late Yugoslavia's most famous artists, how their work evolved alongside the borders of the successor states, and how they have been remembered over time and today. Some of the artists and songs mentioned in the episode include:Neda Ukraden - Zora je (1985) Doris Dragović  Željo moja (1986)Severina - Dalmatinka (1993) Ceca - Pustite me da ga vidim (1990)Alka Vuica - Laži me (1994)Lepa Brena - Luda za tobom (1996)Maja Blagdan - Sveta ljubav (1996)Zabranjeno pušenje - Jugo 45 (1999)Bijelo Dugme - 1st reunion tour (2005)Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim (2024)Catherine's latest work focuses on the Eurovision Song Contest, which will be the subject of forthcoming bonus content exclusive to Talk Eastern Europe patrons.

Good Sunday to you,A bit of admin before we come to today's thought piece.First, in case you missed it, here is this week's commentary, mostly ranting about the budget, the UK's inept leadership and what actions you, as an investor, should take:And this week I also appeared on comedian Geoff Norcott's podcast, What Most People Think. Here are the links to the show on Apple and Spotify, if of interest.But for your thought piece today, we have another great little World War Two gold story which didn't make the cut. The farcical journey of Albanian and Italian gold (NB: a tonne of gold is about a medium-sized suitcase full).As the Nazis took both Austria and Czechoslovakia with ease, Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini grew anxious to flex his own muscles.Albania would be his target. Geographically, culturally and historically, it made sense: Albania had been part of the Roman Empire even before northern Italy.In April 1939, Italy invaded with a force that contained 400 planes, 300 small tanks, 12 warships, and 22,000 men. But some untrained Albanian locals with the help of a few soldiers managed to drive them back into the sea. Such was 20th century Italian warfare.The Italians made it on the second attempt, however, and the capital, Tirana, fell.The Albanian King Zog gave an impassioned speech on the radio, urging resistance, but nobody heard it because Albania at the time had fewer than 2,000 radios, and the Italians soon managed to jam the airwaves anyway. Shortly after giving the speech, like the true patriot he was, he fled the country, taking enough gold with him to lead a long life of luxury in exile, eventually ending up in Egypt as a guest of King Farouk, to whom he had to pay $20 million for refuge.Albania's founders believed in gold, and their currency, the lek, was based on it. Inflation, as a result, had been nonexistent. The central bank was established in the summer of 1925, and it had worked hard to build up its gold holdings. At home, it had encouraged citizens to swap their jewellery for paper money. That private gold was then added to the nation's gold holdings. Whenever possible, the country increased its gold holdings in London.But by the time of the invasion in 1939, most of Albania's 2.3 tonnes was in Italy anyway, where it had been sent for safekeeping. The Italians managed to confiscate quite a bit more in coins and jewellery from citizens.We fast forward four years.The Italian dilemma: give their gold to the Nazis or the Allies? In 1943, Allied forces moved north from Africa into Sicily and then Italy: the invasion of the soft underbelly of Europe had begun.Hectic days followed the ousting of Mussolini in July. The Italian Fascists were still nominally in charge. They declared Rome an open city in the hope of avoiding Allied air attacks. But by September 1943, the Nazis had control of the capital and central Italy, and they wanted Italy's gold moved to Berlin, while they still had control of the area.They began confiscating the gold of Italian citizens in Rome, especially Italian Jews. The amounts demanded were unrealistic, but Roman Jews reached into their family treasures, their synagogues and institutions to turn in what they had. The Pope, Pius XII, heard about the demands and authorised Catholic churches to lend Jews gold so they could reach the quota.But the big prize was in the Italian Central Bank, and several Nazi organisations had their eyes on it: Himmler's SS, Göring's Four Year Plan, von Ribbentrop's Foreign Office, and Funk's Reichsbank. Even the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), which was worried about its investments in Italy, started making demands that Italy send it gold. Initially, the governor of the Italian bank, Vincenzo Azzolini, made out that he was offended by the idea, but he soon realised the BIS was a better option than Berlin, whichever Nazi department received it.The Italians did not know what to do. On the one hand, they did not want the Nazis to have their gold, but nor did they want the invading Allies to have it either. They thought of sending it to Sardinia, they thought of sending it to the Swiss border. They sent small amounts of gold to branch offices around Italy, but the Bologna gold went missing, as did much of the Milan gold - now supposedly in Turin, but actually hidden in a well. They even sent some to colonial outposts in Benghazi, Rhodes and Addis Ababa.The Albanian gold Italy had stolen was still sitting in the Italian bank's vault, so, under pressure from the Nazis, they sent that up to the Reichsbank in Berlin, while they tried to come up with a solution.The following day, Niccolò Introna, the Italian bank's deputy general manager, had his plan: to build a false wall in the bank's underground vaults. He would then backdate documents to show the gold had been moved to Potenza, a town in the Italian south that was about to fall into Allied hands, but hide the gold behind the wall.Bank governor Azzolini approved the plan, but then ruled that only half the gold should be hidden. The next day the wall was built. The day after that, the official order to ship the gold to Berlin came in from the German ambassador. If the bank did not agree, the Germans would simply seize it. At this point, Azzolini learned that the Germans had seized government records, from which they would know the size and location of the country's gold. Azzolini lost his nerve and had the wall torn down.The next day, the German military unit arrived at the bank with orders to move the gold north by air. Azzolini stalled them, saying it would be safer by train. The Germans sent 5 tonnes by air, the rest - 119 tonnes - was sent by train to Milan. From there, it was shipped to Fortezza, Bolzano, close to the border with Germany and under their control, where it stayed for several months. The now-ousted Mussolini even signed his approval that it be sent there.The following spring, Azzolini, who above all wanted to stop the gold going to Berlin, struck a deal with Swiss and German representatives that would see 26 tonnes sent to Switzerland, some to the BIS and some to the Swiss National Bank.Göring, however, insisted he needed money and suggested giving Italy Reichsmarks for its gold. The deal was signed without the Bank of Italy knowing about it. 50 tonnes left Fortezza, which included 8 tonnes Italy had stolen from Yugoslavia earlier in the war in "restitution" (that's another story). The delivery arrived in Berlin a tonne light. As almost always by this point in the war, someone had their hands in the till.The process of shipping the next batch of Italian gold - some 22 tonnes - went on for months, as some (but not all) Italian officials tried to stall. But eventually, that too was dispatched. That too arrived in Berlin a tonne light.When American forces eventually liberated Fortezza, they found 25 tonnes. It was handed over to the Bank of Italy.What a mess.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. And it would make a wonderful Christmas present! This is a public episode.

¿Y si el próximo presidente del Gobierno no fuera un ser humano? Aunque la posibilidad de que una inteligencia artificial tome decisiones políticas parece ciencia ficción, ya no es una realidad tan lejana. En los últimos años, diversos gobiernos están integrando la inteligencia artificial en funciones públicas y políticas, marcando un punto de inflexión en la forma de entender la administración y el poder institucional. Países como Albania, Ucrania, Suecia, Reino Unido o Rumanía han incorporado sistemas de IA en roles muy importantes. ¿Estamos preparados para votar a un algoritmo? ¿Podría una IA, entrenada con datos y sin intereses personales, ser más justa y eficiente que un parlamento tradicional? ¿Cómo podemos asegurarnos de que no tiene sesgos? ¿quién debe gobernar en la era de la inteligencia artificial? Hoy hablamos de interesante tema de reflexión propuesto desde la UDIT (Universidad de Diseño, Innovación y Tecnología), con los especialistas, Sandra Garrido (Directora del Máster de IA) y David Alonso (Director del Departamento de Tecnología). Lo hacemos además el día en que ChatGPT cumple justo 3 años (30 de noviembre de 2022) y lo analizamos junto al también profesor experto Rafael Caballero (Universidad Complutense) , coautor del recomendable 40 conceptos clave sobre inteligencIA artificial (Ed. Catarata) Con Don Víctor y sin evitar la polémica, analizamos algunos cómics y personajes ilustrados realizados con IA.Escuchar audio

The Cold War ended, but crises kept coming. This episode opens in the Balkans, where Yugoslavia's breakup pulls Marines into a different mission. Offshore in the Adriatic, they fly strikes, launch rescues, and put infantry ashore as refugee camps, no-fly zones, and patrols blur the line between war and relief. From there, the story follows deployments to Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Albania, and East Timor, where Marines secure embassies, evacuate civilians, and support coalitions trying to hold together collapsing states. Then 9/11 hits, and the long war begins. Task Force 58 pushes hundreds of miles inland to seize Rhino and Kandahar, proving sea-based Marines can operate inside a landlocked country. The chapter ends in Helmand, in places like Garmsir, Now Zad, and the Ganjgal Valley, where patrol bases, IEDs, and hard lessons define a war with no clean finish.

Albania has appointed an AI system named Diella as a cabinet-level ‘minister' overseeing public procurement. The move raises big questions about accountability, transparency, and whether algorithmic governance is a glimpse of the future or a risky one-off. Federal News Network's Eric White explores what this means for democracy and decision-making with Sam Adebayo, a contributor for Forbes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

El gobierno laborista de Keir Starmer presentó este lunes la reforma más dura de la política de asilo desde la posguerra. Entre las medidas que contempla son deportaciones más rápidas, alargar de cinco a veinte años el plazo para obtener la residencia permanente, establecer un cupo anual máximo de refugiados, revisar periódicamente la seguridad de los países de origen y confiscar dinero y joyas a los solicitantes para sufragar su alojamiento y los trámites burocráticos. Además de eso, Starmer amenaza con restringir visados a países, sobre todo africanos, que se nieguen a aceptar repatriaciones. La reforma llega cuando las entradas ilegales en la Unión Europea han caído casi un 25% en el último año, pero en el Reino Unido las solicitudes de asilo superaron las 100.000 en 2024, muchas de ellas cruzando el Canal de la Mancha en pequeñas embarcaciones. El coste de alojar a unos 30.000 solicitantes en hoteles alcanzó los 2.000 millones de libras el año pasado, un gasto que ha disparado el rechazo ciudadano y el ascenso de Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage. Dentro del Partido Laborista la propuesta ha desatado una tormenta. Decenas de diputados de izquierda amenazan con votar en contra y esto podría provocar una gran crisis interna dentro del laborismo. El anuncio británico se inscribe en una ola de endurecimiento de la política de asilo que recorre toda Europa, y que pone en cuestión el sistema internacional de asilo tal y como se concibió en 1951. Aquel régimen nació para proteger a disidentes del bloque soviético y como respuesta moral al rechazo a los judíos en los años treinta. Setenta y cinco años después, con 1.000 millones de personas deseando emigrar y viajes muy asequibles, la figura del refugio político se utiliza como coartada para la inmigración económica. La mayoría de solicitudes se rechazan, pero los procesos duran años y permiten permanecer en el país mientras se resuelven. Los críticos señalan que acoger a los refugiados a miles de kilómetros de sus países resulta carísimo, sirve sólo a los más jóvenes y genera rechazo entre los ciudadanos del país de acogida. La historia demuestra que los desplazados por un conflicto que se refugian en países vecinos con cultura y lengua similares regresan antes cuando se acaban los problemas en su país. Un refugiado en un país vecino es mucho más barato de sostener que en Europa o Estados Unidos donde los Gobiernos tienen que asignarles viviendas sociales y subsidios. Cada vez más voces piden replantearse el modelo desde cero. Reforzar la ayuda a ACNUR y a los países de primera acogida, procesar las solicitudes en terceros países seguros (como propone Giorgia Meloni con Albania) y separar con claridad el asilo político genuino de la inmigración laboral. Europa necesita mano de obra por el envejecimiento de su población, pero debe poder decidir cuánta, de dónde y con qué perfil. Eso con el sistema actual es imposible ya que se emplea como puerta trasera para la inmigración irregular. Con el plan de Starmer y los que se están adoptando en otras partes de Europa, el debate ya no es si el actual régimen de asilo está agotado, sino cómo sustituirlo.

Il tema della migrazione polarizza diverse nazioni al momento: dai centri per migranti dell'Italia in Albania, alle discussioni interne alla Coalizione qui in Australia, passando per i raid negli Stati Uniti di Donald Trump. Ora il Regno Unito ha annunciato una legge che promette delle "riforme più radicali del previsto per contrastare l'immigrazione illegale nell'era moderna."

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin by looking at England's unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel's real test will be winning the tournament itself?Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.Next, we turn to England's impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford's two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick's approach is bearing fruit.We're then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running.And finally, we're joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Wag the Dog tells the story of a scandal-ridden president whose chief spin doctor, Conrad Brean (De Niro), decides to distract the public with a fictional war with Albania. To pull this off, he hires Stanley Motss (Hoffman), a prominent Hollywood producer who throws himself into orchestrating an imaginary war, complete with fake footage, fake war heroes and a popular theme song. The hoax is successful, but it soon comes with a host of complications which require Brean and Motss to take quick action to further deceive the public. In their conversation, Jamelle and John discuss the cynicism, shallowness and laziness of Levinson and Mamet's depiction of Washington politics, as well as a few real-life examples of manufactured wars, and why most Hollywood political satire just doesn't work.The tagline for Wag the Dog was “A comedy about truth, justice and other special effects.”You can find Wag the Dog to rent or buy on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.Episodes come out every two weeks so stay-tuned for our upcoming episode on Murder at 1600.And don't forget our Patreon, where we cover the political thrillers of the Cold War and we offer weekly political commentary.

  Will future wars be decided by who controls space—cyber and outer—and which superpower has better paired geostrategic thinking with emerging technologies? Anne Neuberger, the Hoover Institution's William C. Edwards Distinguished Visiting Fellow and a former White House and Pentagon cyber policy advisor, joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to discuss what she sees as a “cyber gap” between China and America, the need for the US to rethink traditional weapons platforms (hello, drones), plus how Dwight Eisenhower's warning of a “military industry complex” is being redefined by the tech sector's growing role in present-day and future warfare. After that: the three fellows weigh the significance of a utopian socialist recently elected mayor of a very capitalist New York City, a new “algocracy” (algorithms running the government) in Albania, the UK's fabled BBC in hot water over alleged editorial bias, plus whether the “war of the tomorrow” may be in . . . Venezuela? Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

It takes humility, intentionality, and the power of the Holy Spirit to create a workplace of trust and unity amongst school staff. Hear from members of the team at GDQ International Christian School in Albania about their experiences with navigating conflict. "We want to have the school be a safe place so that people can voice disagreements that they have and know that someone will listen to them." -Lori "One thing that helps to resolve conflict is, on some level, to expect there to be at least different perspectives." -Nate "Continue to build into relationships among the staff so when you have to come with things like that, it's not just negative all the time, but you do have these trust banks to pull off of." -Lori "You really do need to have a culture of unity in place to be able to handle things like this." -Nate "Unless people see you acting in a way that is healthy in resolving conflict and in communicating, then any policy that you have, any professional development is useless." Lori "You have to be able to say, 'This is not against me. Same team!'" -Lori James 1:19 "Something that is really helpful for me when I am offended is to remember how much God has forgiven me." -Peter "We have to give glory to God for being our captain." -Nate What's changing our lives: Keane: Finishing the entire Chronicles of Narnia series Heather: Autumn scenes on YouTube Nate: Using ChatGPT to wean off of coffee Peter: Hot cocoa with homework, fresh persimmons, and pumpkin pie Lori: Cozy blankets Weekly Spotlight: GDQ International Christian School We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/

Blayne Alexander joins Keith Morrison to discuss her episode, “The Death of Dr. Schwartz.” In 2014, Dr. Steven Schwartz was found murdered in his Tarpon Springs, Florida, home. What initially looked like a burglary gone wrong turned out to be something much darker. Investigators uncovered a story of greed, betrayal, and a hidden past that stunned even those closest to the doctor. Blayne shares her experience reporting the case across Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and Albania — where she spoke to a man who was convicted in connection to the crime. She also shares her conversation with Detective Lara Scarpatti, one of the first officers on the scene, about the unusual behavior she noticed that night. Later, Blayne is joined by producer Rob Buchanan to answer viewer questions about the episode, including why so many Dateline stories seem to take place in Florida.Have a question for Talking Dateline?
