Tucker Carlson remains at the center of conservative media attention following a series of high-profile interviews and controversies in recent days. Most notably, Carlson has continued to grow his independent media platform, “The Tucker Carlson Show,” which now reaches millions on YouTube, Facebook, and X. Last week, he aired an in-depth interview focusing on the Armenian political crisis, featuring Narek Karapetyan—the nephew of imprisoned Armenian philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan—and Karapetyan's attorney, Bob Amsterdam. During the 80-minute segment, Carlson strongly criticized Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, alleging an assault on the Armenian Apostolic Church and accusing Pashinyan of authoritarian tactics. The interview rapidly spread across social media, with millions of views on X and significant engagement on other platforms. Pashinyan's allies attempted to discredit Carlson by suggesting that the interview was paid for, though these claims have not been substantiated and were dismissed by those involved.Simultaneously, Carlson has generated major backlash for broadcasting a lengthy, friendly interview with Nick Fuentes, a figure widely recognized for white nationalist, antisemitic, and extremist views. Fuentes used Carlson's platform to amplify several controversial positions, including antisemitic stereotypes about “organized Jewry in America” and expressing admiration for Joseph Stalin, who orchestrated deaths of millions, including many Jews. The episode sparked immediate and significant condemnation, even from within conservative ranks. Prominent Republicans, such as Senator Lindsey Graham at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting, publicly distanced themselves from the ideologies expressed, with Graham joking that he belongs to the “Hitler-sucks wing of the Republican Party.” Jewish advocacy groups and numerous commentators warned that Carlson's interview represented a normalization of antisemitism and extremist rhetoric.The controversy has caused turmoil at the influential Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025. Heritage's president, Kevin Roberts, initially defended Tucker Carlson, calling him a close friend and decrying efforts to “cancel” him. This defense attributed criticism of Carlson to “slander” and a “venomous coalition,” but was met with internal dissent and public criticism. Some Heritage Foundation staff, prominent donors, and allies objected to Roberts' statements, arguing that defending Carlson overlooked the seriousness of providing a platform to extremist voices. Senior research fellow Robert Rector and other members stated that such figures must be actively pushed out for the movement's credibility. The backlash led to the disaffiliation of leaders from the Foundation's antisemitism task force and prompted Roberts to release an apology asserting he did not know much about Fuentes and recognizing his handling of the situation as a mistake, but refusing to step down as president.In response to criticisms about the Fuentes interview and his approach to controversial guests, Tucker Carlson sat for an interview with Megyn Kelly. When Kelly challenged him on why he hadn't confronted Fuentes on his history of hateful statements, Carlson responded dismissively, telling Kelly to “buzz off” and suggesting that those who disagreed with his editorial choices could interview Fuentes themselves. This exchange was widely discussed, highlighting Carlson's refusal to adopt a more conventional broadcast approach of pressing extremist guests on their past comments.Beyond these immediate controversies, Carlson remains a vocal critic of perceived surveillance state tendencies, with commentary on platforms like X involving the Trump administration's technology partnerships—such as with Palantir—drawing attention from supporters across the right and further tying him to debates around privacy, civil liberties, and state power.Carlson's current influence on the broader media and political landscape remains substantial. His willingness to engage fringe or inflammatory figures has escalated calls within conservative circles to more clearly define their boundaries regarding extremism and antisemitism. At the same time, some supporters frame ongoing criticism of Carlson as an attack on free speech and an attempt by establishment forces to constrain grassroots conservative discourse.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast and don't forget to subscribe.

The history of Armenians in Cyprus is traced back to centuries, shaped by waves of migration, resilience, and cultural contributions. In this episode, I sit down with Alexander-Michael Hadjilyra to explore the deep-rooted history of Armenian Cypriots, from their earliest presence on the island to their pivotal role in modern Cypriot society. We discuss their arrival and establishment in Cyprus and how they maintained their distinct identity while integrating into Cypriot life. Hadjilyra sheds light on their contributions to commerce, education, and the arts, highlighting figures who played a crucial role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape. We also explore the challenges faced by the Armenian community, including displacement, language preservation, and political shifts, while examining how Armenian Cypriots navigated their dual identity in a changing world. Through stories of survival, adaptation, and innovation, this episode delves into how a small yet influential community helped shape Cyprus' history and continues to leave its mark today.

What if your stepfather was one of the most misunderstood yet spiritually profound composers of the 20th century—and your mother spent years writing his story? In this episode, Bill Holst shares the extraordinary journey behind Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century, a memoir built from the poetic writings of his late mother and enriched with his own personal reflections. Alan Hovhaness was known for his deeply mystical, culturally diverse compositions, drawing from Armenian roots, Eastern music traditions, and nature itself. Bill shares how Hovhaness faced rejection early in his career—even from names like Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland—yet stayed true to his vision, ultimately creating over 500 pieces of music that defied genres and resonated with artists like Carlos Santana and Ravi Shankar. We dive into the soulful relationship between Bill's mother and Hovhaness, the spiritual lens through which he viewed life and art, and the thousands of unpublished and rediscovered works that are still being archived today. From midnight storytelling sessions to mysterious reincarnated cats, this conversation uncovers the composer's otherworldly spirit and the love that defined his final decades. Discover how Bill Holst is carrying forward the legacies of both his mother and Alan Hovhaness—one page, and one note, at a time. #AlanHovhaness #BillHolst #ComposerLegacy #MysticalMusic #BooksThatMakeYou #Memoir

Wine is about the humanity.  This concept hit me on a flight home from Rome. I was watching a movie and started to weep. I realized the human soul needs passion, passion forsomething; maybe another person, maybe a lifestyle, maybe a career, but passion drives our will. And wine is full of passion. To do it right, it takes nothing less than passion. Hey there, it's Paul Kalemkiarian on Wine Talks, and in this episode, I really wanted to get personal and share how deeply humanity and humility run through every thread of the wine world at its highest levels. I open the show reflecting on a profound sense of gratitude after tasting with some top producers—it reminded me why I'm passionate about this podcast. Wine isn't just a commodity to me; it's an expression of earth, spirit, and story, and the purpose of Wine Talks is to spread that message. I also let listeners into my own little world, sharing that I've tasted 100,000 wines over the years and even built a comprehensive database (and now an AI-driven app) to catalog all these bottles. It's quirky, but it keeps me grounded in what I love. Then, I shared a special moment from a recent trip to Rome, where I had the honor of attending the Vatican for the canonization of an Armenian archbishop. It was a powerful experience—full of history, pageantry, and meaning. Of course, the promised "private audience with the Pope" wasn't exactly one-on-one selfies, but still, being there among so many was remarkable. The journey continued to Puglia in southern Italy, where I managed, despite short notice, to meet with Mark Shannon of Amano wines. Mark's story resonated deeply—an American winemaker settling in an up-and-coming wine region, driven by pure passion. We recorded a heartfelt conversation, shared great food, and I came away reminded how wine connects people at the most human level. On my flight home, I got unexpectedly emotional watching Top Gun: Maverick. It hit home how we all seek passion and escape—sometimes in movies, sometimes in travel, sometimes in wine. No matter our circumstances, that longing for meaningful off-ramps never goes away. The show then explores not only the artistry and soulfulness in winemaking, but also the nuts-and-bolts of the business—from manipulated supermarket bottles that miss the mark to innovative new packaging concepts, marketing strategies, and the challenges faced by artisans like Mark Shannon trying to access the U.S. market. I shared anecdotes about recent guests—a geophysicist connecting volcanic soils to wine character, a business-savvy marketing pro, and other passionate personalities in the wine world. I reflected on the fascinating diversity of experiences, from NBA stars getting into wine to trailblazers supporting Armenian wine in the global conversation. In the end, I emphasized why I do this: it's for the humanity, the stories, and the connections that wine brings. My hope is always to bring listeners closer to the heart of wine—whether it's a legendary Bordeaux tasting or a birthday party at my own home. It's all about sharing, learning, and feeling something real. Cheers to the humanity of wine—and thanks for joining me on this episode of Wine Talks.         #winepodcast #WineTalks #PaulKalemkiarian #winetrade #winebusiness #winetasting #humanityinwine #PugliaItaly #Armenianwine #Bordeaux #NapaValley #passionforwine #storytelling #volcanicsoil #winemarketing #appellation #Primitivo #Zinfandel #winemakers #wineculture

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday.  Today's episode is personal. It's painful. And it's important. We're talking about the Armenian Genocide... a chapter of history that millions experienced, yet many still deny or have never been taught. I've always known I wanted to cover this story because of my family history. But every time I tried, it never felt like the right moment. The truth is… there is no “right moment.” The right thing is to remember, to learn, and to honor those who lived through it... and those who didn't. In today's episode, we'll look at how the Armenian community in the Ottoman Empire was targeted, how the genocide was carried out under the chaos of World War I, the stories of survival and resistance, and why recognition of these events is still debated today. History isn't always pretty. But understanding it helps us recognize injustice when we see it... and stop it before it happens again. And before I go... I mention a couple sources in the episode that I wanted to link in the description box.

This week's episode of Inside Business sees host Ciarán Hancock joined in studio by Niall Tallon, chief executive of Irish telecoms group Imagine. A minor in the Irish market, the company recently made a bold move offering cheap fibre broadband products along with a promise not to increase those prices for the next five years. This is designed to double its customer base by 2030 as part of a multi-million investment in growing the business. It's a brave strategy given that Imagine has just 35,000 existing customers and big competitors such as Eir, Vodafone, Three and Virgin Media who control a large chunk of the market between them.Niall explains how the offer will work and the business case behind it, as well as discussing the company's Armenian owners and how he came to run a telco with a chequered history that was originally founded by the late Irish entrepreneur Sean Bolger. Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump brings Gaza war crimes home to US autistics.Using starvation to subjugate people is a war crime, whether at the point of a gun or denying SNAP benefits.November 1st, SNAP halted. Healthcare funding threatened. Social Security could vanish, Trump warns. 42 million Americans face losing food assistance. Not someday—right now.A nation that uses starvation on its own civilians? I'm no lawyer, but I'd argue that's tantamount to war on its own people. Any day of the week. And I consider it a crime in its own right, even if courts reserve “war crime” for armed conflict.I can hear it already: “You're being dramatic. That's hyperbolic. You can't compare domestic policy to Gaza.”Watch me.Medieval siege techniques. Surround them and starve them out. Whether it's Gaza or Indiana.What's Actually Happening?The Trump administration threatens benefits we count on to exist as political leverage during government shutdown negotiations. Support promised to the American public for decades, transformed into weapons to get what Trump wants.Here's what international law says about that. The Rome Statute explicitly classifies starvation of civilians as a war crime, a crime against humanity. Around the world, deliberately depriving people of food for political gain—that's defined as genocide.These aren't my words, they're international law.Gaza starvation: internationally recognized war crime.SNAP weaponization: They can call it an unfortunate policy choice, but it's the same tactic, just a different population. Location doesn't change that. Denying food to gain power simply is withholding food, withholding life for power. They're not negotiating. They're holding a gun to our heads.Why Autistics First?Numbers tell you everything you need to know. Autistics face an 85% unemployment rate. So we depend a lot on SNAP—I do. Most of us depend on Medicaid to see our doctors, and many of us are disabled, unable to work. So SSI dependency just to live, it's a high priority.The government knows exactly who gets hit when they pull these levers: autistics, neurodivergents. We're the most vulnerable first. We have the least political power of any minority group, I think.And look at the language they use. “Efficiency.” “Streamlining.” “Reducing dependency.” It's the old Nazi “useless eaters” logic dressed up in techno-bro management appeal. Killing off the weak, dusted off and wrapped in budget terminology. We're the testing ground, that's how it always works. Start with disabled people. Normalize the tactic. See who complains, see if you can get away with it. Then expand to the next group.We're the canaries in the coal mine. We die first. And we're already choking.The Roll Call of History: Every Empire Does ThisWant to know how I know this is a war crime? Because every failing empire does exactly this. Brings colonial violence home. Every. Single. One.France took torture techniques from Algeria, brought them home for Paris riot control. The U.S. militarized policing in the Philippines, deployed in Ferguson. Britain did the exact same thing: tactics used in the Irish colonies, in India, that came home to British workers as labor disputes escalated.This isn't speculation. This is documented history. The Ottoman Empire in its death throes: Armenian genocide, Greek genocide, Assyrian genocide. Ancient Rome. Ancient Egypt. Every single one.The pattern is always the same. It starts with unpopular groups: Jews, immigrants, disabled people, people they call “defective,” “foreign,” “unproductive.” Test on them first, see if anyone notices, see if anyone stops you, then expand.Scholars have a term for this: the “boomerang effect.” Or “internal colonialism”—when you apply colonial logic to your own people. Black radical thinkers saw this first, by the way. They recognized the pattern decades ago.The Gaslighting Ends HereSo when someone says “You're being dramatic”? No. I'm being historically accurate.“That's hyperbolic.” The Rome Statute disagrees. I can read you the details.“You can't compare domestic policy to war.” Every empire in history already done that. They already made that comparison for me.We're not comparing tragedies. “Who's suffering more than who?” We're recognizing tragedy.When policy debates require trigger warnings like this article, like this livestream, maybe it's not policy.When negotiations threaten survival, maybe they're not negotiations.When efficiency means starvation, maybe it's not efficient. It's fucking violence.That need for trigger warnings says it's violence. Not discourse. We're not being fragile. We're being informed. We're watching it happen in real time. Hell, it's obvious in every bowl of beans I eat instead of a hell of heavily tariffed hamburger.What We DoLiving through empire in decline: deadly for many. But here's what we do.We call it as we see it. We refuse sanitized language.When they say “policy,” we call it violence. Because starvation kills as sure as a bullet. Just slower.When they say “negotiate,” we name it hostage taking for the purpose of political power.When they say “efficiency,” we shout starvation tactics.It's medieval siege by budget. No catapults. No cannons. Just clean spreadsheets.We document the pattern. We recognize what's really happening while it's happening. We tell the truth about what we're witnessing. And we survive together.How? Let's talk again soon on meaningful resistance, survival, and mutual aid. I'm nearly ready to share my thoughts next week in my next livestream.The Picture I Want to Leave You WithTrump brings Gaza war crimes home. Not as a metaphor—as a moral diagnosis.Same tactics, similar intent, different location, same fucking outcome.Starvation is starvation. Siege is siege. Death is death. Even if the law reserves “war crimes” for battlefields and guys in uniform.Starting with autistics, starting with disabled people, starting with poor people, starting with anyone who needs to eat and expanding from there. Because that's how it always works.That's not drama, not autistic overreaction. If I ever hear that again—fuck the gaslighting we've lived through all our damn fucking lives.That's international law in definitions. That's documented history in its examples. That's pattern recognition across eras. We're just the ones recognizing it first.ClosingListen, that's all I got really. This episode, it's why I do these livestreams. Why I need this community, you guys.Because when they gaslight us, we need witnesses. We need truth.When they isolate us, we need each other.When they threaten our survival, we need to document what's happening in real time.See you next week around the same time. We'll talk resistance, mutual aid. What actually works when the empire comes home.Till then?Stay weird.Stay fierce.Stay alive.Key Timestamps for Chapter Markers:* 0:00 - Opening Thesis* 1:08 - What's Actually Happening* 2:23 - Why Autistics First* 3:19 - The Roll Call of History* 6:35 - The Gaslighting Ends Here* 7:50 - What We Do#AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

Tucker Carlson remains at the center of national controversy following his recent podcast interview with Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist known for antisemitic commentary and praise of Adolf Hitler. The interview drew immediate backlash, with critics highlighting Carlson's decision not to challenge or push back on several of Fuentes's inflammatory statements. Notably, Carlson himself made his own critical remarks about Christian Zionists during their discussion, calling Christian Zionism a “brain virus” and labeling it a heresy. This has deepened debates about shifting attitudes toward Israel and Jewish Americans within the conservative movement, fueling a growing rift in Republican circles, as reported by the Associated Press and The Economic Times.The fallout extended to the Heritage Foundation, a major conservative think tank long associated with Carlson, when its president Kevin Roberts released a video defending Carlson's decision to platform Fuentes. Roberts emphasized the need for open debate, saying efforts to “cancel” Carlson would not succeed, but his stance triggered outrage from within Heritage, as well as from Republican senators and Jewish leaders from both parties. The leadership of a right-wing antisemitism task force attached to Heritage reported that Roberts had since apologized for how he handled the issue, but organizations like the Young Jewish Conservatives resigned in protest. A Jewish Insider report noted that this has complicated Republican attempts to cast Democrats as the sole party with antisemitism problems.Conservatives across the spectrum remain divided on how to approach Carlson's evolving role. Some voices, like Hoover Institution's Victor Davis Hanson on Newsmax, said Carlson failed in his journalistic duty by not pushing back against misinformation or hate speech from guests like Fuentes. Christian and pro-Israel activists have criticized what they see as Carlson providing an unchecked platform for conspiracy theories and revisionist history, especially since the launch of the Tucker Carlson Network and his podcast, now an influential but polarizing media presence.Despite the backlash, Carlson continues to be an in-demand commentator, speaking at Turning Point USA events and engaging in high-profile interviews. In breaking news, Armenian and Russian media report that Carlson is set to interview Narek Karapetyan, a leader of the “Our Way” (Mer Dzevov) movement and nephew of political prisoner Samvel Karapetyan. The upcoming interview focuses on Armenia's ongoing “national liberation struggle” and is drawing attention internationally, especially after rumors circulated that the Karapetyan family might have paid for the appearance. Both Carlson and Armenian movement spokespersons deny any payment, attributing the interview to mutual interest.Financial reports have also emerged, claiming that the Heritage Foundation had previously spent over $1 million sponsoring Carlson's show, highlighting his continued connections to influential institutions. Throughout all this, Carlson has not publicly commented on the current wave of criticism, nor has he responded to reports about whether lobbying or financial considerations influenced his programming choices.The debates swirling around Carlson's recent actions continue to spark broader discussions about the direction of American conservatism, the boundaries of free speech in media, and the ongoing intersections of antisemitism, politics, and partisan identity. Some see him as exposing divisions within the right on foreign policy and social issues, while others warn that his platforming of figures like Fuentes legitimizes extreme voices and erodes longstanding conservative alliances.Thanks for tuning in and be sure to subscribe to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast to stay updated on these fast-moving stories.

The worlds of a young Canadian immigrant, an Italian pasta-making family, and a 70-year-old survivor of the Armenian Genocide converge in this story of the San Francisco Treat.A Canadian woman, Lois DeDomenico, marries an Italian immigrant, Tom DeDomenico, whose family founded Golden Grain Macaroni in San Francisco. Just after WWII, the newlyweds rent a room from an elderly Armenian woman, Pailadzo Captanian, who teaches the young, pregnant, 18-year-old Lois how to cook — including how to make yogurt, baklava, and pilaf.During those hours in the kitchen, the old Armenian woman tells Lois the story of her life — her forced trek from Turkey to Syria, leaving her two young sons with a Greek family, her husband's murder, the birth of her baby along the way (his name means “child of pain”), the story of the genocide. Mrs. Captanian shows Lois a book she wrote shortly after her experiences — one of the only eyewitness accounts written at the time. Most survivor accounts were published 30–40 years later. Hers was published in 1919 for the Paris Peace Talks, in hopes that it would help provide context for the establishment of an Armenian state.Years after the DeDomenicos move away from Mrs. Captanian's home, Tom's brother is having dinner at the young couple's house. He looks down at the pilaf Lois made and says, “This would be good in a box.” They name it Rice-A-Roni.

Omer Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, reviews the definition of genocide as established within the Genocide Convention of 1948 as he analyses the trajectory of events in Gaza from 7 October 2023 to the Spring 2024 when the IDF moved into Rafah and proceeded systematically destroy Gaza with the goal of making it unhinhabitable for its population. Noting that the Knesset used 7 October as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip, he observes that Israel's actions proved unsuccessful since there was no place to push the Palestinians. This is the moment, Bartov observes, when the situation devolved into genocide, resembling many other genocides throughout the 20th century, which began as ethnic cleansing but ended up as the mass killing of populations. Declaring that by July 2025, a consensus had been formed among the majority of genocide scholars and experts in international law, he expresses astonishment at the fact that legacy media have still not begun to employ the term “genocide” to describe what is now an agreed fact by international experts. Historicising how ethnic cleansing often turns into genocide, Bartov offers examples from the Germans' ethnic cleansing turned genocide of the Herero in what is present-day Namibia, the Armenian genocide by Türkiye, where vast numbers of Armenians were pushed into the Syrian desert and perished, to the coextensive labour and extermination camps of the Nazis during World War II. Addressing the reality that many Israelis and Jews, when they hear the word “genocide,” they think of the Holocaust, Bartov criticises this mentality since the Holocaust has become a central theme within Israeli national identity since the 1980s. He contends that Israelis view the Holocaust as “not only something that happened in the past, it is something that can happen any moment. That we are always under existential threat…And that threat is represented by the Palestinians.” Bartov explains that this genocide is, in part, a reaction to fear within the core of Israeli identity that has resulted in Israel's mass murder of Palestinians, largely because Israelis view Palestinians as their existential threat.

El SS Armenian se aproximaba a la costa británica cuando un submarino alemán lo detectó y efectuó disparos de aviso. Era junio de 1915, y transportaba 1.400 mulas destinadas al frente oriental. En ese momento, el Armenian inició la huida mientras el sumergible lo machacaba a disparos. El capitán ordenó a la dotación que abandonara el barco. Una vez los últimos tripulantes estaban a resguardo en los botes salvavidas, el submarino lanzó un torpedo sobre la popa del barco. En solo unos minutos, el Armenian se hundió hasta el fondo del Atlántico con las 1.400 mulas a bordo. Más de 90 años después, el buque de la naviera White Star aún no ha sido encontrado. Ahora, una nueva expedición internacional de submarinistas busca el conocido como Bone Wreck. Por medio de equipos de inspección y submarinismo de última generación, el grupo pretende ser el primero en encontrar este navío desaparecido durante tanto tiempo.

In this episode of The Open Door, panelists Thomas Storck, Andrew Sorokowski, and Christopher Zehnder interview Felix Corley on his book Catholicos and Commissar: The Armenian Church under the Soviet Regime (October29, 2025)Part of a two-volume set, this volume explores the history of the Armenian Apostolic Church under Soviet rule. Initially flourishing across the Russian Empire, the Church briefly enjoyed greater religious freedom after the February 1917 revolution. However, the Bolshevik regime imposed severe restrictions after October 1917: churches were seized, clergy were taxed and jailed, religious education was banned, and international ties were severed. By 1938, Stalin's purges had devastated the Church, culminating in the murder of Catholicos Khoren and the closure of almost all churches.Despite this, a partial revival occurred after World War II. In 1945, Stalin permitted the election of a new Church leader, Catholicos Gevorg, who supported Soviet territorial claims and repatriation efforts. Although minimal, the Church's presence in the South Caucasus and southern Russia was gradually restored.The book is based on extensive archival research, memoirs, and interviews, offering a vivid account of how the Church and its followers struggled to maintain faith under an oppressive regime.Volume 2 continues the history of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Soviet Union, focusing on the leadership of Catholicos Vazgen I, who served from 1955 until 1994-the longest tenure of any religious leader in the USSR. Chosen by the KGB after a lack of suitable Soviet-based candidates, Vazgen publicly supported the Soviet regime but worked quietly to strengthen the Church's presence at home and abroad. The Church's seminary at Echmiadzin grew, and diaspora ties were cautiously encouraged, though most parishes remained isolated.Despite the appearance of normalcy, the Church operated under heavy restrictions. Major decisions were often made by the state, and KGB agents were placed among the clergy. The harsh anti-religious campaigns of the Khrushchev era forced the closure of many churches. After Khrushchev's fall, restrictions eased somewhat, but the Church remained passive, neither resisting nor expanding.Major change came under Gorbachev's reforms in the late 1980s. Long-suppressed Armenian national aspirations, especially around Nagorno-Karabakh, erupted, followed by the 1988 earthquake. The Church responded with new community efforts. Though initially cautious about independence, Catholicos Vazgen eventually played a key role in legitimising the new Armenian state and reaffirming the Church's place as its official religion.Like Volume One, this book draws from extensive archival research, memoirs, and interviews to tell the story of how the Armenian Church and its followers navigated Soviet repression and shifting political landscapes.

I jumped in on a LinkedIn conversation about wine, soil, volcano's and more. Thought I would contribute to the message string. That is when I engaged Diana on the concept of terroir. But not just any terroir, but volcanic terroir. Then I realized that Diana's expertise in the realm of wine...is the soil! She is a expert in energy and geophysics! Diana Kandiglian is the kind of guest who measures her excitement in bottles, not hours. If you've ever wondered what happens when a scientist who reads rocks for a living falls in love with wine, this episode is for you. You'll learn how Diana's background as a geophysicist shapes her curiosity about soils and terroir, and why she believes the best wines surprise you, just like life itself. Through her stories, you'll uncover why Armenia's volcanic soils produce wines unlike any other, how centuries-old vines navigate climate change, and why boutique winemaking has become the soul of the country's industry. Paul and Diana peel back layers of old world tradition and new world innovation, exploring appellations, indigenous grape varieties, and the risks of chasing global trends at the expense of authenticity. You'll be puzzled—but enlightened—by the paradox of Armenia's old vines and young winemakers, and why Diana advocates for some rules to keep the magic alive. There's a fascinating discussion of soil science, climate, and grape selection: from Texan clays to French boulders, you'll understand how the land whispers its secrets into every glass. You'll hear why the future of wine in both Armenia and unexpected places like Texas and Brazil depends on resilience, sustainable practices, and stories worth telling. If your palate craves complexity and your mind seeks narratives from every region, Diana's "Pour Across America" vision will inspire you to taste wines you've never imagined—and appreciate the intersection of science and soul in every sip. By the time you finish listening, you'll carry away a deeper understanding not only of Armenian wine, but of what it means to seek adventure, surprise, and connection in your glass.

Election Day is almost here, and in most of California, there's just one measure on the ballot: Proposition 50. Backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, Prop 50 aims to create more Democratic-leaning districts. It's a move to counter Texas's redistricting plans favoring Republicans. And  some heavy hitters are lining up on both sides, including former President Barack Obama, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. KQED Politics and Government Correspondent Guy Marzorati joins us to talk about some of the finer points of the ballot measure. Plus we meet vocalist and musician Khatchadour Khatchadourian. He plays an ancient double reed woodwind carved from apricot wood called the duduk that has cultural ties to Armenia. Khatchadourian is one of the few in the Bay Area who plays the instrument, and his followers call him the “Duduk Whisperer.” Our producer Elize Manoukian brings us this profile of Khatchadourian, who uses the duduk to push the boundaries of traditional Armenian music, and along the way, is helping to preserve cultural identity through sound. And we head to Altadena where the the first handful of new homes are under construction in parts of fire ravaged city. Most people won't be moving back in for several months. But some neighborhoods that were completely wiped out in the Eaton Fire are already being resettled by property owners living in trailers and RV's. As reporter Steven Cuevas discovered, these residents could be key to restoring the spirit and resilience that's defined Altadena for decades. Learn more about your ad choices.

In EVN Report's news roundup for the week of October 24: Gyumri's controversial mayor, Vardan Ghukasyan, is detained on corruption charges; Armenian and Azerbaijani civil society representatives meet in Yerevan; Baku lifts its ban on cargo transit to Armenia through Azerbaijani territory; the government announced that mandatory military service will be reduced from two years to 1.5 starting in January 2026 and more.

In mid-September, the UN issued a report stating that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel vehemently denies the charge. Genocide is the crime of crimes. It is a highly charged and loaded word.  To verify it requires clear and unambiguous evidence. The term was coined by the Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin. Genocide combines the Greek prefix “genos” (race, tribe) with the Latin suffix “cide” (killing). Lemkin was aware of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks earlier in the 20th century. During the Holocaust, he lost many family members. Lemkin and others were responsible for the Genocide Convention, which was passed unanimously by the UN in 1948. In addition to the recently released UN report, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as well as two prominent Israeli rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, declared that Israel's military actions in Gaza constitute genocide.

In this jaw-dropping, side-splitting, heart-opening continuation with the fabulous Rachel McCord, the coffee is hot and the chaos is haute couture.

Anastas Mikoyan, an Armenian Reformer in Khrushchev's KremlinDr. Pietro Shakarian explains the core arguments and new archival findings behind his book on Anastas Mikoyan. We cover Mikoyan's effort to devolve power inside the USSR during Khrushchev's constitutional reform drive, what a confederal model could have meant, and why it stalled. We discuss Mikoyan's role in Armenia's cultural thaw, including rehabilitations tied to his 1954 Yerevan speech. Shakarian details his research trail across Russian and Armenian archives, 1960s Artsakh petitions, Mikoyan's stance toward the Armenian Church, and how his Armenian identity surfaced during Cold War crises.TopicsResearch journey, archives Moscow and YerevanMikoyan's vision of confederation for the USSRArtsakh's status within Soviet constraintsDe-Stalinization and Armenia's cultural thawMikoyan's stance toward the Armenian ChurchGuestPietro ShakarianHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianKey Questions DiscussedHow far did Khrushchev's reforms move the USSR toward a confederation, and why did it fail in practiceWhat “radical devolution of powers” would mean for union and republic relationsWhich Armenian writers and officials were affected by post-Stalin rehabilitationsWhat new evidence from Moscow and Yerevan archives changes prior scholarshipHow Mikoyan's Armenian identity and stance toward the Church shaped decisions and relationshipsReferenced Articles and SourcesAnastas Mikoyan, an Armenian Reformer in Khrushchev's Kremlin – AmazonPrior Groong episode with Pietro Shakarian (Episode 28)Episode 480 | Recorded: October 18, 2025https://podcasts.groong.org/480Subscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, in St. Peter's Square, Rome, Pope Leo XIV proclaimed seven new saints, “witnesses who with God's grace, kept the lamp of faith burning.”“They became lamps capable of spreading the light of Christ,” the Holy Father said in his homily.“May their intercession assist us in our trials and their example inspire us in our shared vocation to holiness,” he said.During the canonization Mass, unfolded under a bright Roman sun, the Pope declared the first two Venezuelan saints: St. José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros, known as “the doctor of the poor,” and St. María del Carmen Rendiles Martínez, a religious sister born without her left arm who went on to found the Servants of Jesus in Caracas in 1965.Among the new saints were also two martyrs. St. Peter To Rot, a lay catechist martyred in Papua New Guinea during the Japanese occupation in World War II, became the country's first saint. To Rot defied Japanese authorities who permitted polygamy, defending Christian marriage until his death.St. Ignatius Maloyan, an Armenian Catholic archbishop, was executed during the Armenian genocide after refusing to convert to Islam. “I consider the shedding of my blood for my faith to be the sweetest desire of my heart,” Maloyan said before his death. “If I am tortured for the love of him who died for me, I will be among those who will have joy and bliss, and I will have obtained to see my Lord and my God.”Among the most well-known of the new saints is St. Bartolo Longo, a 19th-century Italian lawyer who was Satanic before returning to the Church with zeal.After his conversion, Bartolo Longo became the Apostle of the Rosary, dedicating his life to promoting the rosary and building the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, now one of Italy's most beloved Marian pilgrimage sites.In his homily, Pope Leo XVI said that “what is most precious in the Lord's eyes” is “faith, namely, the bond of love between God and man.”“Our relationship with God is of the utmost importance because at the beginning of time he created all things out of nothing and, at the end of time, he will save mortal beings from nothingness,” the pope said. “A world without faith, then, would be populated by children living without a Father, that is, by creatures without salvation.”In addition to Venezuela's St. María del Carmen Rendiles Martínez, the Italian foundress St. Vincenza Maria Poloni was also canonized. Poloni founded the Sisters of Mercy of Verona and is remembered for her tireless service to the poor, even risking her life during the cholera epidemic of 1836.Pope Leo also canonized St. Maria Troncatti, an Italian Salesian sister who spent 44 years as a missionary among the Indigenous Shuar people in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest. Known affectionately as “Madrecita,” or “little mother,” she served as a nurse, surgeon, and catechist with missionary zeal.The canonization coincided with World Mission Sunday. Before praying the Angelus, Pope Leo XIV, who was once an Augustinian missionary himself in Peru, urged the faithful to pray for today's missionaries.Today, October 20, we celebrate the feast day of St. Paul of the Cross.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Send us a textIn the fall of 2023, a shady land deal signed a few years earlier between the Armenian Patriarchate and an Australian-Israeli businessman came to light. Despite the Patriarchate's cancellation of the deal on Nov. 1, 2023, Israeli surveyors and settlers pushed ahead with their plans to develop the property into a luxury hotel and permanently alter the character and demography of the Old City's Armenian Quarter. In this episode we speak with Armenian peacebuilder Christopher Huth, Communications Coordinator at the Churches for Middle East Peace office in Washington, DC about the history of the Armenian community in the Holy Land, and the grassroots and international efforts to resist this latest attempt by Israel at Judaizing occupied East Jerusalem, of which the Old City is a part.

Hospitality is more than setting a table or opening your home. It’s a posture of the heart—a way of seeing and responding to the people God places in your path. True hospitality flows from God’s generous welcome to us and creates spaces of belonging wherever we go. In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling talks with Laura Murray, author of Becoming a Person of Welcome, about moving from performance-based hosting to a transformed life of welcome. Drawing from her Armenian heritage, years in church leadership, and a rich theology of God’s hospitality, Laura offers practical steps for cultivating authentic connection, listening deeply, setting healthy boundaries, and leading others into a lifestyle of welcome. Whether you’re a ministry leader, a community builder, or simply someone longing for relationships rooted in grace, this conversation will inspire you to carry God’s presence into everyday moments.

Step inside the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills boutique for one of the most jaw-dropping, soul-lifting, couture-filled episodes yet as Pol' and Patrik welcome the radiant Rachel McCord — entrepreneur, author, faith leader, and sister to 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord. Things kick off with instant Hollywood chaos: the guest list heard 'round the world. At a McCord List event, even AnnaLynne herself wasn't on the list — writing “I AM The McCord List” just to get in! Not even Pol' and Patrik made the cut at first, cueing a hilarious three-page clipboard mix-up that had Beverly Hills buzzing. But love wins, couture heals, and Pol' reveals he's designing AnnaLynne's gown, sealing the moment in pure glam unity. From there, the trio dives deep into sisterhood and survival. Rachel opens up about growing up in a Georgia trailer park with sisters AnnaLynne and Angel — how she once worked as AnnaLynne's assistant and the wild ride from red carpets to finding her true calling. Fame, heartbreak, and self-doubt led her to create The McCord List, empowering women to shine from the inside out — even when life isn't as picture-perfect as the posts. Then the episode takes a breathtaking turn as Rachel shares her life-or-death story. After years of fainting spells and misdiagnoses, a doctor finally discovered a severe mitral valve defect. In early 2024, she underwent open-heart surgeryat USC — her heart stopped for four hours. Before surgery, she literally counted heartbeats, surrendering to faith with worship music and scripture. Miraculously, Rachel woke up with a new heart — physically and spiritually — and a renewed mission through her faith movement, Holy Spirit Vibe. She opens up about the healing power of forgiveness — letting go of pain so deep it once made her body shake. As she describes that release, Pol' connects it to something otherworldly: her Armenian coffee reading. Pol' pours, swirls, and reveals a heart formed in the coffee grinds — the same symbol Rachel had seen everywhere since her surgery. It's pure confirmation, goosebumps included. Within the cup, Pol' also sees a tornado inside a house (a total life rebuild) and a shelf unfinished — proof her rebirth journey isn't done… but it's destined. Between laughter, fashion, and faith, Rachel and the hosts remind listeners that Hollywood miracles don't always happen on-screen — sometimes they happen between sips of coffee. Rachel blends entrepreneurial hustle with divine peace, turning trauma into testimony. Before closing, Pol' & Patrik reflect on friendship in the spotlight — showing up for people privately, not just publicly — name-dropping a few reality queens who know what loyalty looks like. It's couture meets Christ, laughter meets legacy, and Undressed meets divine intervention. Rachel McCord proves that even when your heart stops, your purpose can still beat louder than ever. ☕ Coffee Reading Moment of Truth:A heart in the cup. A new mission on the horizon. Proof that when faith, forgiveness, and fashion collide — miracles sparkle brighter than Swarovski. ✨ From open heart to open cup, from Beverly Hills to the heavens — Rachel McCord's comeback story is brewed, blessed, and beautifully undressed.

The extensive research literature on race has paid little attention to Armenians. Between the two world wars, they had to prove that they were free white persons to ensure their naturalization in the United States, while in Nazi Germany they needed to document that they were stakeholders of the Aryan race to safeguard their existence. Vartan Matiossian's book is the first comprehensive account of a mostly untold story of dehumanization and racism in Europe and America that enhanced the racial and moral profiling of Armenians as undesirables. The Color of Choice: The Armenians and the Politics of Race in the United States and Germany (1890-1945) (Brill, 2025) frames this development within the context of the debates on whiteness and immigration in the United States culminating in the Immigration Act of 1924 and the xenophobic discourse in Germany before and during Nazism likening Armenians to Jews.

It's the new male dating trend. You say in your Bumble profile that you're a member of the Dissident Right who often attends parties with Curtis Yarvin. Then female journos ask you out in the hopes that you'll bring them along and they can turn it into an article.” “What happens when they realize Curtis Yarvin isn't at the party?” “Oh, everyone pools their money and hires someone to pretend to be Curtis. You can just do things. Today it's Ramchandra.” You follow his gaze, and there is Ramchandra, hair greased back, wearing a leather jacket, surrounded by a crowd of young women. “When I say I'm against furries,” he's explaining, staccato, at 120 wpm, “I mean the sort of captured furries you get under the post-Warren-G-Harding liberal order, the ones getting the fat checks from the Armenians at Harvard and the Department of Energy. I love real furries, the kind you would have found in 1920s New Mexico eating crocodile steaks with Baron von Ungern-Sternberg! Some of my best friends are furries, as de Broglie-Bohm and my sainted mother used to say! Just watch out for the Kikuyu, that's my advice! Hahahahahaha!” Some of the women are taking notes. “But enough about me. When I was seventeen, I spent seven weeks in Bensonhurst - that's in the Rotten Apple, in case you can't tell your Nepalis from your Neapolitans. A dear uncle of mine, after whom I was named…” “Ramchandra is pretty good,” you admit. “Still, if it were me I would have gone with a white guy.” “It's fine,” says Chris. “Curtis describes himself as a mischling, and none of the journos know what that means.” Ramchandra is still talking. “Of course, strawberries have only been strawberries since after the Kronstadt Rebellion. Before that, strawberries were just pears. You had to get them hand-painted red by Gypsies, if you can believe that. Gypsies! So if you hear someone from west of Pennsylvania Avenue mention ‘strawberries', that's what we in the business call il significanto.” “I admit he has talent,“ you say. “But this curtfishing thing - surely at some point your date realizes that you're not actually a high-status yet problematic bad boy who can further her career just by existing, and then she ghosts you, right?” “That's every date in San Francisco. But when you curtfish, sometimes she comps your meal from her expense account. It's a strict Pareto improvement!” After some thought, you agree this is a great strategy with no downsides, maybe the biggest innovation in dating since the invention of alcohol. Having failed to bring your own journo to the party, you look for one who seems unattached. You catch the eye of a blonde woman who introduces herself as Gabrielle, and you try to give her the least autistic “Hello” of which you are capable.

Buckle up, Undressed-anistas, because this episode is a full runway of drama, laughs, fashion tea, and mystical revelations! Pol' and Patrik are back inside their Beverly Hills boutique with the fabulous Gogo Lomo-David (Righteous Gemstones, Shameless), and things get spicy fast. We kick off with Hot Topics — and no one is safe. From the shocking story of Lil Nas X allegedly arrested in Hollywood to the headline-grabbing relationship twists of JoJo Siwa, our hosts dive headfirst into fame's darker side. Gogo opens up about resisting Hollywood's vices, sharing how his Nigerian father and grounded upbringing keep him focused. The trio get candid about the dangers of “yes-men” in showbiz, the heartbreak of watching Anna Nicole Smithspiral after tragedy, and why goals and community are the ultimate antidote to self-destruction. But it doesn't stop there — the infamous Menendez Brothers parole denial sparks a raw debate on justice, forgiveness, and responsibility. From true crime to pop culture, the conversation swerves to Taylor Swift's jaw-dropping 12th album, “Life of a Showgirl”. Gogo calls it: another era-defining set of hits from the global superstar who built an empire on heartbreak and reinvention. Then comes Runway Rundown, where fashion meets fire. Pol' and Patrik pull up red carpet looks for Gogo to critique — and he doesn't hold back. From Luke Combs' ill-fitting Tweedledee vibes to Sydney Sweeney's dreamy ivory bustier dress (with a questionable headband), Danny McBride's off-shade suit, and Walton Goggins' risk-taking silk chemise moment, every celebrity look gets dissected. And when Chrissy Teigen struts in a daring mesh bustier gown with feathered mermaid skirt, it's Catwoman chic meets couture controversy. Even Gogo's own velvet tuxedo Emmy look and his playful pink jacket ensemble are up for critique — bow ties, microfiber jackets, and all. Next, it's game time with “Holy or Humbug” — a laugh-out-loud quiz where Gogo must guess whether outrageous televangelist scandals happened in real life or on Righteous Gemstones. Did Baby Billy abandon his kid at a gas station? Did a Texas church offer drive-through confessions during COVID? Did Joel Osteen really lock church doors during a hurricane? Holy or Humbug? You'll be screaming along as Gogo battles tricky wordplay and reveals behind-the-scenes tea. Finally, we land in the mystical with Pol's signature Armenian coffee reading — and it's pure destiny. In Gogo's cup, Pol' sees a butterfly, symbolizing transformation and fleeting beauty, and delivers a powerful message: a major relationship shift is on the horizon. This isn't casual—it's commitment-or-nothing, a love story written in the grounds. Vulnerability, healing, and fate collide as Gogo reflects on love, fear, and opening his heart again. By the end, he admits he feels “beautifully naked — emotionally, mentally, and physically.” From fashion critiques sharper than tweezers, to celebrity confessions, to mystical readings that could change the course of love, this episode has it ALL. Whether you're here for Taylor Swift, Anna Nicole Smith, Lil Nas X, Sydney Sweeney, Chrissy Teigen, or just Gogo's infectious energy, you'll walk away laughing, gasping, and maybe even believing in coffee-ground destiny.
