Podcasts about arbiters

Today's crossword seemed (to at least one of our cohosts) to be slightly crunchier than the usual Sunday, thanks to clues like 3D, "Ci vediamo in giro!" , CIAO; 70A, Pauperism, so to speak, RAGS (um, ok);  and 61D, Arbiters of taste, CONNOISSEURS (or as they are known nowadays, influencers).  To be clear, we are not complaining: we like a little crunch in our cereal and our crossword grids, and today's puzzle had just the right amount.Show note imagery: Groucho Marx - he didn't invent absurdist comedy, but he definitely perfected it.We love feedback!

The trio dives into some of the most intriguing royal headlines, including a discreet audience King Charles and Queen Camilla held with the Pope shortly before his passing. Meanwhile, little Prince Louis has just one thing on his holiday wishlist: his two front teeth. Across the pond, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines once again, this time for rolling through New York City with a four-car motorcade — a move that comes just weeks after Meghan was criticized for her allegedly excessive security.

In this vlog, I take you behind the scenes as we gear up for big meetings in May for The Arbiters. From refining the script to building out detailed storyboards and concept art, we're practicing daily to ensure everything is sharp for the pitch. I also talk through our planning for the Annecy Film Festival—including travel logistics—and why I've paused work on my filmmaking book (temporarily!) to prioritize The Arbiters.Plus, I share insights from my manifesting journal now that I'm halfway through the process, reflect on lessons from watching the Grammys Rewind series, and recap my Boston trip for Emerson College's film fest and men's soccer alumni event. It's a packed update on balancing the creative grind, personal growth, and staying grounded in the journey.

This year feels like a major transition—for all of us. In this vlog, I reflect on how I'm navigating change through creative work, personal rituals, and a few powerful tools that have grounded me lately: therapy, yoga, journaling for manifestation, and Phil Stutz's True and False Magic. I open up about the big deadlines ahead for The Arbiters, reviving my filmmaking how-to book after a ghostwriting setback, and the poetic freedom I'm exploring for my next novel. Plus: thoughts on burnout, the cost of always seeking “cheaper” solutions (including over-relying on AI), and why rest might be more revolutionary than we think.

I also discuss the investor deck, the filmmaking digital school project, and the strides I've made in my novel writing.Beyond that, I explore key topics like the real struggles of indie filmmaking, why companies fail to properly educate their employees—making career growth harder—and how we, as a society, are losing the ability to recognize and communicate mission-critical information.I also share my thoughts on the Indie Spirit Awards (and award shows in general), an escape room adventure, and my review of Ne Zha 2.

This week has been a whirlwind! I worked at the Grammys, which was an amazing experience, I've been continuing on with The Arbiters—recutting our proof-of-concept trailer to better reflect the updated script, continuing outreach, and… an actor I'd love to have in the film has shown interest!On top of that, I'm submitting to Anime Expo and planning other events to get The Arbiters in front of more eyes. And in the midst of all this, I'm making time to be healthier—more yoga, better habits, and trying to keep balance while chasing big goals.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Inspired by A Course in Miracles, this episode explores the profound idea that what you withhold from love is ultimately given to fear. I discuss why this concept matters and how embracing love over fear can reshape your relationships, decisions, and mindset. Learn how to identify when fear is holding you back and how choosing love can lead to a more fulfilling and courageous life. Here are some practical examples of artists withholding from love and instead giving to fear: 1. Not Sharing Their Work Due to Fear of Judgment • Example: An artist spends years perfecting a painting, song, or script but never releases it because they fear criticism. Instead of embracing the love of creation and sharing their vision, they let fear keep their art locked away. 2. Choosing Trends Over Authenticity • Example: A filmmaker has a unique story to tell but chooses to follow mainstream trends out of fear their original idea won't sell. Instead of creating from love and passion, they operate from fear of financial failure or industry rejection. 3. Perfectionism Leading to Creative Paralysis • Example: A writer keeps rewriting the same script for years, believing it's never good enough. Instead of trusting the process and loving the growth that comes with each iteration, they allow fear of imperfection to stall progress. 4. Compromising Vision for Commercial Success • Example: A musician shifts their style to fit what's currently popular, despite their heart pulling them in a different direction. Instead of expressing themselves authentically, they let fear of irrelevance dictate their work. 5. Avoiding Risks That Could Lead to Breakthroughs • Example: A director wants to experiment with a bold new animation technique (e.g., The Arbiters pushing anime forward) but hesitates because no one else is doing it. Fear of failure outweighs the love of innovation. 6. Sabotaging Opportunities Due to Self-Doubt • Example: A photographer gets an offer to showcase their work in a major gallery but turns it down, convinced they aren't “ready.” Fear of exposure and potential failure overrides the love of their craft and opportunity. 7. Withholding Praise from Fellow Artists • Example: A producer sees a peer succeeding but doesn't acknowledge or celebrate them out of jealousy or insecurity. Instead of supporting and collaborating from a place of love, they let fear of comparison create distance. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Prince Harry's decision to settle with News Group Newspapers may have been the smart move, according to one expert. He'd been suing the group - which publishes the Sun and the now defunct News of the World - alleging they obtained information about him by illegal means, over 15 years. The settlement is reportedly over $20 million. Royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter says settling will save a headache. "At the end of the day, the UK justice system is prohibitively expensive - the cost would have been absolutely eye-watering. So thankfully, this has given him the closure that he so longer for."

From May 12, 2023: Earlier this year, Brian Fishman published a fantastic paper with Brookings thinking through how technology platforms grapple with terrorism and extremism, and how any reform to Section 230 must allow those platforms space to continue doing that work. That's the short description, but the paper is really about so much more—about how the work of content moderation actually takes place, how contemporary analyses of the harms of social media fail to address the history of how platforms addressed Islamist terror, and how we should understand “the original sin of the internet.” For this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our occasional series on the information ecosystem, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic sat down to talk with Brian about his work. Brian is the cofounder of Cinder, a software platform for the kind of trust and safety work we describe here, and he was formerly a policy director at Meta, where he led the company's work on dangerous individuals and organizations.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

December 29 2024 Sunday Week 35 / Your Place In Him / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. Isaiah 53:5  Healing… Matthew 18:19  Agree with God's Word… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Acts 10:34  God is no respecter of persons… “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV “Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” Hebrews 2:14-15 NLT “Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death–that is, the devil– And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives.” Hebrews 2:14-15 AMPC “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.” Hebrews 2:18 KJV “Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.” Hebrews 2:18 NLT “For because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering].” Hebrews 2:18 AMPC “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV “So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Hebrews 4:14-16 NLT “Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him]. For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].” Hebrews 4:14-16 AMPC “For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec:) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.” Hebrews 7:19-22 KJV “For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God. This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron's descendants became priests without such an oath, but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him, “The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: ‘You are a priest forever.'” Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God.” Hebrews 7:19-22 NLT “For the Law never made anything perfect–but instead a better hope is introduced through which we [now] come close to God. And it was not without the taking of an oath [that Christ was made Priest], For those who formerly became priests received their office without its being confirmed by the taking of an oath by God, but this One was designated and addressed and saluted with an oath, The Lord has sworn and will not regret it or change His mind, You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. [Ps. 110:4.] In keeping with [the oath's greater strength and force], Jesus has become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement [a more excellent and more advantageous covenant].” Hebrews 7:19-22 AMPC “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.” Hebrews 8:6 KJV “But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.” Hebrews 8:6 NLT “But as it now is, He [Christ] has acquired a [priestly] ministry which is as much superior and more excellent [than the old] as the covenant (the agreement) of which He is the Mediator (the Arbiter, Agent) is superior and more excellent, [because] it is enacted and rests upon more important (sublimer, higher, and nobler) promises.” Hebrews 8:6 AMPC Romans 10:9-10  Salvation… Romans 10:17  Faith in God comes from hearing His Word… Matthew 11:28-30  Jesus'Yoke is Easy… John 3:16  God gave Jesus to pay for our Salvation… God Loves The abortion dr As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Philippians 12:2  Work out your own Salvation… Romans 8:1  No condemnation in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior…  Luke Chapter 15 The Story Of The Prodigal Son… Philippians 4:19  God will supply all your needs let Him… Romans 4:20  Don't Stagger at What God Is Saying In His Word… John 15:5 We can't do anything aside from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:17  We are new creatures in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:21  We are The Righteousness of God In Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Ephesians 2:8  We are Saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Believe God's Word Above All Opinions God Loves The abortion dr's As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Share This Podcast On Your Social Media… Website https://the-prodigalson.com Email tstacyhayes@gmail.com  YouVersion Bible App https://my.bible.comi iOS App https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prodigal-son/id1450529518?mt=8 …  Android App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.wizzard.android.prodical  Social Media https://www.facebook.com/The-Prodigal-SON-209069136315959/ https://www.facebook.com/noreligion1511/ https://twitter.com/noreligion1511 https://www.instagram.com/noreligion1511/ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPx4s1CLkSYef6mp4dSuU4w/featured

From April 14, 2023: Over the past few years, TikTok has become a uniquely polarizing social media platform. On the one hand, millions of users, especially those in their teens and twenties, love the app. On the other hand, the government is concerned that TikTok's vulnerability to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party makes it a serious national security threat. There's even talk of banning the app altogether. But would that be legal? In particular, does the First Amendment allow the government to ban an application that's used by millions to communicate every day?On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem, Matt Perault, director of the Center on Technology Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Alan Z. Rozenshtein, Lawfare Senior Editor and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota, spoke with Ramya Krishnan, a staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, and Mary-Rose Papendrea, the Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law, to think through the legal and policy implications of a TikTok ban.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

In this final episode of Season 4, I chat with Writer Director Phil Svitek, creator of The Arbiters, an animated feature he is developing. We talk about the pitching process, what a Pitch Deck is, the difference between a teaser and a trailer, and all the things he does as a director of his first animated feature, We go back in time to the time of Saturday morning cartoons and how Phil was reared on Hey Arnold and Captain Planet among other shows. Also he talks about how a course in editing led him to "reverse engineer" his way into directing and writing. And great advice for anyone, but specifically those wanting to go into animation from live action.

Dickie Arbiter began his broadcasting career in Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia) in the mid-1960s. Following a return to the United Kingdom in the early 1970s he joined LBC News Radio/IRN (Independent Radio News) as a newscaster and program presenter. During late Queen's 1977 Silver Jubilee he was asked to report on the British royal family. In 1981 he was responsible for organizing the UK's commercial radio coverage as well as taking on as lead commentator of the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer. With the success of the Royal wedding coverage, he was appointed IRN's Court Correspondent with accreditation to Buckingham Palace – being only one of two such correspondents with continuous and unfettered access to the Palace. His new role meant travelling extensively both at home and abroad, covering the British monarchy, his area of expertise.

For his service to the crown, In the 1996 Birthday Honors, he was appointed Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO). Since retiring from Royal duty, Dickie went back to his broadcasting roots as a television commentator. Having spent going on fifty years covering royalty, heads of state, and other globally recognized figures, his knowledge qualifies him to bring his own personal insight into the public forum as a royal analyst and international lecturer. On this episode, Dickie shares his one way ticket to Whitefish, Montana to horseback ride and enjoy a cowboy lifestyle. In our conversation, we also cover a wide swath of topics including: 1. The role of the Monarchy 2. A window into the late Queen's personality 3. The Republican movement in the UK and 13 realms where the Sovereign is Head of State 4. His tea with then Prince Charles & Lady Diana Spencer three days before their 1981 wedding…and what their relationship was really like 5. Lovely anecdotes of time spent with Diana during royal engagements 6. Behind the scenes look at managing the press for Diana's funeral 7. The painstaking details that go into an overseas royal tour 8. How the King is navigating his relentless schedule despite his cancer  9. The U.S. President the late Queen tolerated and the U.S. First Lady with which she had a frosty relationship 10. The drama surrounding Harry and Meghan 11. The late Queen's last days 12. What he really thinks of the Netflix series “The Crown”.

We explore his satirical novel, 2040, where an AI candidate for president—Prezibot—raises questions about control, democracy, and the flaws in both AI systems and human decision-makers.   Throughout the episode, Pedro sheds light on Silicon Valley's utopian dreams clashing with its dystopian realities, highlighting the contrast between tech innovation and societal challenges like homelessness. He discusses how AI has already integrated into our daily lives, from recommendation systems to decision-making tools, and what this means for the future.   We also unpack the ongoing debate around AI safety, the limits of current AI models like ChatGPT, and why he believes AI is more of a tool to amplify human intelligence rather than an existential threat. Pedro offers his insights into the future of AI development, focusing on how symbolic AI and neural networks could pave the way for more reliable and intelligent systems.   Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on the latest insights into AI, machine learning, and tech culture.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith Twitter: https://twitter.com/craigss Eye on A.I.

Ever wanted to watch a bunch of Klingons talking about politics? Sounds like loads of fun to us! It's the end of Season 4 at least with episode 26, “Redemption Part 1! Okay, here we go! It's the giant season cliffhanger, and after last season's “Best of Both Worlds” Borg-a-thon, this is going to be a doozy! It's all the Klingon politics you could ever want as Gowron ascends to head of the empire while Picard dutifully performs his role as Arbiter of Succession. Why is a Starfleet officer performing such a politically charged role for the empire? Never mind because there are other things to worry about as Gowron's claim is challenged by the newly-discovered son of his dead rival Duras who was killed by Worf after Duras killed K'helyr who had given birth to Worf's son and and and Oy! What a mess! But we get to meet the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'hetor, who have Picard over for tea and scalp stroking! Worf's brother Kurn is back! There are space battles! Worf resigns! Finally, the shadowy Romulan figure from “The Mind's Eye” steps out into the light, and it's . . . Tasha Yar? Whaaaaaaaa?Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

From April 26, 2023: If someone lies about you, you can usually sue them for defamation. But what if that someone is ChatGPT? Already in Australia, the mayor of a town outside Melbourne has threatened to sue OpenAI because ChatGPT falsely named him a guilty party in a bribery scandal. Could that happen in America? Does our libel law allow that? What does it even mean for a large language model to act with "malice"? Does the First Amendment put any limits on the ability to hold these models, and the companies that make them, accountable for false statements they make? And what's the best way to deal with this problem: private lawsuits or government regulation?On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem, Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, discussed these questions with First Amendment expert Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA and the author of a draft paper entitled "Large Libel Models.”Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

From April 1, 2021: This week on Arbiters of Truth, the Lawfare Podcast's miniseries on our online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Issie Lapowsky, a senior reporter at the tech journalism publication Protocol. They discussed last week's hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee with the CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter—the first time the companies had been called to testify on the Hill after the Capitol riot, which focused public attention on the content moderation policies of tech platforms when it comes to domestic extremism. The hearing produced some interesting takeaways, but also a lot of moments when the CEOs were awkwardly forced to answer complicated questions with a simple "yes" or "no" answer.They also discussed Issie's reporting on how tech companies have struggled to figure out how to address far-right extremism in the United States as opposed to Islamist extremism. And they talked about Section 230 reform and what it's like reporting on the tech space.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

From August 20, 2020: This week on Lawfare's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Alex Stamos, the director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and former chief security officer of Yahoo and Facebook. Alex has appeared on the podcast before, but this time, they discussed a new coalition he helped set up called the Election Integrity Partnership—a coalition focused on detecting and mitigating attempts to limit voting or delegitimize election results. Disinformation and misinformation around the U.S. presidential election has already started popping up online, and it's only going to increase as November draws closer. The coalition aims to counter this in real time. So how will it actually work?They also asked Alex for his hot takes on TikTok—the popular video sharing platform facing pressure over concern about influence from the Chinese government.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
