The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar was thought to have been a myth for centuries due to his outstanding accomplishments. No one believed that this could be one man. And up until the 1800s, no historical artifacts supporting the life of this king existed. But then a clay tablet was discovered, and the inscription on it proved remarkable. What was written on this tablet, and does it support what the Bible states about this man from long ago?

Mariel Hemingway dominates "Manhattan" (1979) as she plays the role of Tracy -- Woody Allen's own projection. While "Manhattan" has become a controversial film due to the substantial age gap relationship (Woody Allen's character, Isaac, is 42, while Tracy is 17), this was not the case upon its release. Instead, it was universally praised and further cemented Woody Allen as a master of both drama and comedy. The world's leading Woody Allen critic, Alex Sheremet, is joined by Irish poet Laura Woods for a discussion of the film's illusions and the changing POVs around it.

According to archaeologists and many Bible scholars, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the past 50 years was made on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee at the site called Magdala, the hometown of Mary Magdalene. During a dig, they unearthed a 1st century synagogue and at the center was this massive stone with intricate carvings engraved into it. Some of the carvings on the stone support what the Bible says about there being a temple in Jerusalem at the time of Christ. Could this also be the same synagogue where Jesus visited and taught?

The word "ritual" is archaeology's favorite answer for everything it can't explain. It sounds like knowledge. It fills the museum placard. But it's actually an admission of total ignorance dressed in academic language. What if the things we've filed away as symbolic are actually technologies operating on principles we've abandoned or never discovered? What if the filing system itself is the problem?Call in live during the show: 702-857-6939 Full archive of 1,100+ episodes: troubledminds.org
Many people have heard of King David, King Solomon, and even King Hezekiah, but the king who claims the title of having the longest reign, is unfamiliar to most. Today's artifact is a bulla with the name Manasseh inscribed on it. The story of this king is recorded in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. So, does this bulla support the biblical account? And why is there also an Egyptian symbol on the seal? Tune in to see if this is yet another artifact that has been discovered that supports the accuracy of the Bible.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Today's artifact is actually a location and Michael's favorite place to visit in Jerusalem due to its significance. Where was the exact place that Jesus was questioned by the Sanhedrin and denied by Peter the night before His crucifixion? Some believe it was Caiphas's House at the Church of St. Peter. However, that site does not fit the time, biblical account, nor the correct location. Perhaps it was instead the Palatial Mansion that was excavated in the late 1900's near the Temple Mount?

Our artifact for today is another bulla that was discovered in 2019 at a dig in Jerusalem and inscribed on it is the name Nathan-Melech. This person was only mentioned once in the Bible, but according to the Scriptures, he was a royal official of King Josiah, son of the evil King Amon. Could this bulla help support the accuracy of the Bible?

Is your strategy a vision built on solid foundations , or a story you've told yourself with nothing underneath it? And if the industry shifted tomorrow, would you even see it coming? This episode of Wicked Problems goes deep on Wardley Mapping , one of the most rigorous and underused frameworks in strategy today. Simon Wardley, the creator of Wardley Maps, joins the show to explain how the methodology works, where it came from, and why most of what businesses call a "map" is actually just a graph. Simon's path to mapping began not in a consulting firm or business school, but in a crisis of self-awareness: he was a CEO with no idea what he was doing, until a bookseller in Charing Cross handed him Sun Tzu's The Art of War. What followed was two decades of developing a tool now used by governments, investment firms, and , as Simon discovered at a conference , NASA. What We Cover Why everything called a "map" in business , mind maps, process maps, systems maps , is technically a graph, and why the distinction matters for strategy How components in any value chain evolve from genesis through custom-build, product, and commodity , and how to use that to your advantage Why the real value of Wardley Mapping isn't the map itself, but the conversations that happen while building it How to use maps for pre-mortem and post-mortem analysis , and why taking multiple snapshots over time reveals patterns you can't see any other way Why a useful map must be imperfect, and why chasing a perfect map is a guaranteed path to paralysis How investment firms use Wardley Maps to identify which industries are heading for disruption , including groups that use them specifically to short sectors How the UK government used mapping to save £450 million on a single project, and what that required at the level of spend control Why great leaders being great storytellers is a liability in strategy discussions , and how maps sidestep that problem entirely How to apply different management methodologies (Agile, Lean, Six Sigma) to the correct parts of a map rather than picking one and applying it everywhere Where to start if you've never mapped before, and what the learning curve actually looks like Whether you're a business leader trying to validate a strategy before committing resources, an operator in a fast-moving sector like EV or fintech trying to understand where the market is heading, or a consultant who needs a better tool for driving alignment across senior stakeholders , this episode gives you a framework that sharpens how you see competitive landscapes and where to move next.

Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters" remains an undisputed classic in the director's filmography, yet just like "Manhattan", "Interiors," and "Annie Hall," it is often misunderstood. The film's ending, for example, is not what it appears to be, while Woody Allen's fixation on death masks an even darker fixation on the meaninglessness of his own life. In ArtiFact 71, the world's leading Woody Allen critic, Alex Sheremet, is joined by actresses Christina Behnke and Jacklyn Collier to discuss the film's daring use of music, psychoanalyze the dynamics between characters, and touch on separating the artist from the art.

Woody Allen's "Interiors" is a poorly understood film, in part because it deals with artists and their foibles for a non-artistic audience. There are misunderstandings about Woody Allen's POV vs. the POV of his characters, misunderstandings about the nature of art and aesthetics, and even the role of cinematic influences on Allen, such as through Ingmar Bergman. In this episode of the ArtiFact Podcast, the world's leading Woody Allen critic, Alex Sheremet, discusses "Interiors" with other film critics and artists, bringing the deepest and broadest conversation on the film.

In the 1970s, two identical clay seal impressions appeared on the antiquities market, both reading: “Belonging to Berechiahu, son of Neriah, the Scribe”—or in modern terms, Baruch. According to the Bible, Baruch was the scribe and companion of the prophet Jeremiah, faithfully writing down his words.

Host Rob Couture records this special overseas episode of #StillServing: The VFW Podcast from Southeast Asia, joined by VFW Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief Cory Geisler. Together, they take listeners inside the VFW's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) fact-finding mission — a powerful, on-the-ground look at the ongoing effort to bring America's missing service members home. Geisler reflects on his first experience in the region, sharing insights from visits across Hawaii, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. From the cutting-edge forensic work at the Daniel K. Inouye Center for Excellence to remote recovery sites in Vietnam, the episode highlights the complexity, danger and urgency of DPAA's mission. The conversation explores the science behind identification, the challenges of degraded remains and difficult terrain, and the critical role of international partnerships in advancing recovery efforts. The discussion also underscores the impact of funding shortfalls, government shutdowns and logistical barriers that threaten future missions — raising important questions about America's commitment to its promise to never leave a fallen comrade behind. Through meetings with foreign governments, veteran organizations and recovery teams, Couture and Geisler emphasize the power of veteran-to-veteran diplomacy in overcoming political barriers and strengthening cooperation. From emotional visits to historic sites like the Hanoi Hilton, to honoring those lost in a 2001 recovery mission helicopter crash, this episode captures both the human cost of war and the enduring dedication to accountability. With heartfelt reflections on service, sacrifice and remembrance, Episode 62 reinforces the VFW's unwavering mission to bring every service member home.

What if an ancient artifact could hold knowledge, energy, or consciousness beyond our current understanding? In this fascinating and mysterious episode, Carolyn Ford shares her experiences as the caretaker of “Einstein,” a crystal skull believed by some to possess unique energetic and metaphysical properties. Drawing from her personal journey, Carolyn discusses how crystal skulls have long been associated with ancient civilizations, spiritual insight, and the idea of stored wisdom within crystalline structures. She explores the stories, sensations, and interpretations surrounding Einstein—offering insight into how such artifacts are said to interact with human consciousness and perception. This episode invites listeners to explore the intersection of history, spirituality, and the unexplained.

The alphabet you're reading right now is a 3,800-year-old archaeological artifact, preserving ancient decisions in plain sight—from the upside-down ox head that became the letter A to the demotion of zeta from sixth position to last place Z by Roman scribes annoyed with Greek letter order. What began around 1800 BC as Phoenician pictograms using the acrophonic principle (a dog picture representing the sound /d/) evolved through Greek vowel additions and Roman reshaping into the 26-letter system we use today, complete with fossils like the silent K in "know" and the orphaned Q that seemingly violates the whole phonemic principle by always needing U. English spelling isn't graphic anarchy—it's a battlefield where too many competing rules from Viking invasions, Norman conquest, Renaissance classicism, and the Great Vowel Shift all clash simultaneously, making "organize vs organise" and "zee vs zed" disputes echoes of ancient transmission routes across the globe. Today's guest is Danny Bate, author of Why Q Needs U: A History of Our Letters and How We Use Them. We discuss how the alphabet's simplicity—expressing phonemes rather than symbolic meanings like Egyptian hieroglyphs' 700 characters—allowed it to outlast more complex writing systems, why the rounded lips of /w/ gradually changed "was" from rhyming with "glass" in Shakespeare's time to "woz" today, and how English doesn't allow /ks/ at the start of syllables, forcing "xylophone" to sound like /z/. Bate also reveals advanced Scrabble wisdom: words like QI, QADI, and FAQIR let you deploy that high-point Q without U, exploiting the Arabic and Chinese loanwords that snuck into English spelling's surplus of competing regularities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dominique Kostelac is an amateur archaeologist, artifact hunter, farmer and all-around history buff living outside Charlottesville, Virginia. After a newspaper reading from 1869 about uncovering the skeletal remains of a conquistador in Appalachia, we open with Dominique describing the Monacan village he discovered on his riparian farm. From there we get into shocking examples of early, forgotten, and/or theoretical first arrivals of Europeans [and even the Chinese!] to Virginia and the East Coast in general. So how does one go about being an artifact hunter? With archival maps, jet skis, metal detectors, goggles and shovels, in search of eroding banks and knocking on farmers' doors. With over 50-years experience, Dominique previews the most prized finds from his 17th-century collection, all dug up in and around the Chesapeake Bay and up her waterways: a Turkish pirate coin; a flintlock pistol; a Spanish coin made into an Indian ornament; clay pipes; and a Jesuit stamped glass bottle. After skimming his overflowing trays of artifacts and hearing what the amateur has to offer to the professional field, we end on human remains and haunted places.

Discovered by accident in November 1990 just south of Jerusalem's Old City, the Caiaphas Ossuary is one of the most significant finds from the New Testament era. When construction workers uncovered a 1st-century tomb in the Jerusalem Peace Forest, archaeologist Zvi Greenhut found several limestone ossuaries inside—one bearing the name “Caiaphas.” Many scholars have explored a possible connection to the high priest mentioned in the Gospels, making this artifact an intriguing link between archaeology and Scripture.

In this episode of Artifact Facts, we explore the fascinating story behind the Pilate Ring—an artifact that captured global attention when it was reexamined in 2018. Originally discovered in 1969 during excavations at Herodium led by Professor Gideon Foerster, the ring was set aside and largely forgotten for decades. But after being rediscovered, cleaned, and studied, its inscription sparked new conversations about its possible connection to Pontius Pilate. Join us as we uncover the history, significance, and implications of this intriguing find and what it could reveal about the world of the New Testament.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Electronic fetal monitoring is one of the most common interventions in hospital birth, but it's also one of the least understood. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Jennifer Lincoln about what continuous electronic fetal monitoring actually does, what the research says, and why it became such a routine part of labor care in the first place. With recent media attention shining a spotlight on this technology, they break down the history, the evidence, and the real-world pressures that shape how it's used today. Learn why continuous monitoring can increase Cesarean rates in low-risk births, when it may be helpful in higher-risk situations, and how it can influence movement, comfort, and decision-making during labor. Dr. Lincoln also shares practical ways to ask questions, understand what terms like "reassuring" and "indeterminate" mean, and partner with your care team so you can make informed choices without feeling powerless or pressured.

In today's Artifact Facts episode, we explore the Eliakim Bulla, an ancient clay seal impression connected to Eliakim son of Hilkiah, a royal official who served under Hezekiah. While Eliakim is not widely known today, he played an important role in Judah's history during the time of the Assyrian threat. The bulla was discovered in a context associated with Sennacherib, whose campaign against Judah is recorded in the Bible, helping us identify which Eliakim it refers to. Could this artifact connect the biblical account with real historical figures—and even the time of the prophet Isaiah?

Jim Lanzone is the CEO of Yahoo. It's basically impossible to sum up Yahoo's story over the last 25 years, but the short version is that once upon a time, Yahoo paid Google to run the search box on its website, and everything immediately went sideways. Jim calls it Yahoo's original sin. But after a long series of mergers, spinouts, and a hot, weird minute as part of Verizon Yahoo is once again an independent, privately held company — and it's growing. But can Yahoo really take market share from Google?

For years, the aggregator model was simple: curate the best journalism from thousands of publishers and send audiences their way. Now that contract is being rewritten, and Yahoo News is one of the most interesting places to watch it happen.In this episode of Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy speaks with Kat Downs Mulder, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Yahoo News, about how the platform is layering AI across every surface of a product that reaches an estimated 180 million people in the U.S. alone each month. Kat previously spent more than 14 years at The Washington Post as chief product officer and managing editor before taking on the challenge of modernizing one of the internet's original news destinations.The conversation explores Yahoo's acquisition of Artifact, the AI news app built by Instagram's co-founders, which gave the platform a new recommendation engine that prioritizes time spent reading over clicks. It also digs into Yahoo Scout, the company's new AI answer engine that synthesizes information with rich citations and visual context, and an AI-powered daily audio digest designed to turn personalized news into a listening habit. Each of these products makes Yahoo more useful to its audience, but each also changes the relationship between Yahoo and the publishers whose journalism powers the platform.When an answer engine can deliver what a user needs without a click-through, when an audio digest summarizes a story so well the article never gets opened, and when personalization makes the aggregator the destination instead of the pass-through, the old economics stop working for publishers. Kat is candid that the compensation models haven't been figured out yet, noting that Yahoo is working with the Microsoft Publisher Content Marketplace to develop new frameworks, but that the industry is still writing those rules in real time.She makes a strong case for how Yahoo is approaching this differently, from how Scout prominently surfaces publishers to the rev-share model they operate, and why she believes the quality flywheel they are building actually rewards better journalism. Kat argues that original, distinctive journalism will become more valuable in an AI world because AI agents will seek out what is unique. This episode covers: 03:20 — Why Yahoo acquired Artifact and how it shifted recommendation algorithms 06:20 — The shift from click-based metrics to deeper engagement signals such as session time and retention 08:50 — Inside Yahoo Scout, Yahoo's new AI answer engine built to support publishers and the open web 12:40 — The changing economics of news as AI platforms begin generating answers instead of sending traffic 17:40 — Yahoo's personalized AI-generated audio news digest and why multimodal news experiences matter 22:00 — How Yahoo's editorial and AI teams collaborate on quality control at scale 31:00 — How AI is transforming newsroom product development and prototyping 36:10 — The tension between personalization and journalism's civic responsibility 40:00 — What smaller newsrooms can learn from their AI product playbookSign up for the Newsroom Robots newsletter for episode summaries and insights from host Nikita Roy.

In 1980, archaeologist Adam Zertal began excavating Mount Ebal, near the ancient city of Shechem—modern-day Nablusin the West Bank. After decades of little success by earlier researchers, Zertal's team uncovered a large stone structure that took years to fully reveal.Remarkably, the structure matches the biblical instructions for an altar: built from uncut field stones, with no iron tools,and accessed by a ramp rather than steps.

Discovered in 2008 overlooking the Elah Valley, this broken shard of pottery may hold one of the earliest Hebrew texts ever found. Written in ink over 3,000 years ago, its 70 preserved letters come from a time many believed writing didn't yet exist in ancient Israel. What this text says—and when it was written—raises big questions about early literacy, biblical history, and the world of the kings of Israel.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.
