Hidden deep in the woods of New Haven, Connecticut lies Judges Cave, where two fugitives from the King of England once hid. In 1661, William Goffe and Edward Whalley—judges who signed the death warrant of King Charles I—fled across the Atlantic and took refuge inside these rocky chambers as King Charles II demanded their capture. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger hike Regicide Trail to uncover the history, mystery, and legends that linger at this infamous cave.

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
REFLECTIONS is a short-form feature within The Photowalk podcast, offering thoughtful observations on a creative life and the themes that we often discuss on Fridays, including perfectionism, impostor syndrome, comparison, confidence, and more. It's a pause at the start of the week to recalibrate, recorded in the studio between the walks. Each Monday, you'll find Reflections on The Photowalk podcast feed, providing a creative reset to start the week. From Tuesday to Friday, it continues exclusively on our member-supported channel, The Extra Mile, for those who walk a little further with us. Today, a 2,845-mile road trip across America and a voyage across the Atlantic, made to keep fifty years of photographs safe. My sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
The period of the "second slavery" was marked by geographic expansion of zones of slavery into the Upper US South, Cuba, and Brazil and chronological expansion into the industrial age. As The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery: Technology, Labor, Race, and Capitalism in the Greater Caribbean (Oxford UP, 2020) shows, ambitious planters throughout the Greater Caribbean hired a transnational group of chemists, engineers, and other "plantation experts" to assist them in adapting industrial technologies to suit their "tropical" needs and increase profitability. Not only were technologies reinvented so as to keep manufacturing processes local but slaveholders' adaptation of new racial ideologies also shaped their particular usage of new machines. Finally, these businessmen forged a new set of relationships with one another in order to sidestep the financial dominance of Great Britain and the northeastern United States. In addition to promoting new forms of mechanization, the technical experts depended on the know-how of slaves alongside whom they worked. Bondspeople with industrial craft skills played key roles in the development of new production processes and technologies like sugar mills. While the very existence of such skilled slaves contradicted prevailing racial ideologies and allowed black people to wield power in their own interest, their contributions grew the slave economies of Cuba, Brazil, and the Upper South. Together reform-minded planters, technical experts, and enslaved people modernized sugar plantations in Louisiana and Cuba; brought together rural Virginia wheat planters and industrial flour-millers in Richmond with the coffee-planting system of southeastern Brazil; and enabled engineers and iron-makers in Virginia to collaborate with railroad and sugar entrepreneurs in Cuba. Through his examination of the creation of these industrial bodies of knowledge, Daniel B. Rood demonstrates the deepening dependence of the Atlantic economy on forced labor after a few revolutionary decades in which it seemed the institution of slavery might be destroyed. The reinvention of this plantation world in the 1840s and 1850s brought a renewed movement in the 1860s, especially from enslaved people themselves in the United States and Cuba, to end chattel slavery. This account of capitalism, technology, and slavery offers new perspectives on the nineteenth-century Americas.

Over 500 media and publishing professionals gathered in the beautiful Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid to hear leading speakers discuss their strategies for thriving in today's landscape. ChatGPT, AI overviews and traffic challenges are certainly top of mind for many delegates, but the on-stage conversations haven't been quite as dominated by AI as we'd expected. Rather, there seems to be a doubling down on good, ‘old fashioned' publishing principles like investing in high-quality content and products in order to secure growth. There were some really strong themes that came out across the two days - too many to include them all here - so we've focused on the top four. Hear speakers from TIME, The Economist, Hearst, Semafor, The Atlantic and more discussing transformation, new opportunities, brands vs personalities, and how they're using AI.

Black History Month Special (Part 2) AI - The Truth Exposed! The Black Spy Podcast 216, Season 22, Episode 0007 This week, host Carlton King continues his headfirst dive into the meaning of Black History Month — asking seemingly none provocative questions of Chat GPT such as Why do you and other LLM continue to use terms such as the Middle East” and why does this matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, Carlton explores the true financial and political objectives and consequences of the British Empire, including how Britain came to rule world finances. Carlton also uncovers how AI is finally challenging a racist, euro-centric manipulation of history with true and evidenced fact, yet strangely Carlton notes that these answers are not provided questionaries in the first instance and he wants to establish why?. Carlton examines who decides who's “Black” and who's “White,” and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to dumb down Africa and it's diaspora's real historical legacy. Once again we hope you enjoy this week's episode and learn from it. So, please don't forget to subscribe to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.
I first encountered biometric screening at Abu Dhabi airport a few years ago. The gate scanned my face, flashed green, and opened without a word. No officer, no passport, no human exchange. It felt like the quiet birth of a new border, one that recognized me before I even knew what it was measuring. Since then, I've seen the same shift take shape in Toronto, Dublin, and Abu Dhabi alike. Canada now pilots facial recognition at key airports, linking travel data to border and customs systems. Ireland, too, is modernizing its ports of entry under EU data-sharing rules that quietly weave personal identity into digital infrastructure. The logic is identical across continents: seamless travel, better security, fewer errors. Travelers have always accepted a trade between convenience and control. Once, that meant belts off and passports out. Now, it's a lens capturing a face in seconds. The passport is no longer held it's scanned, stored, and shared. The pitch is progress: shorter queues, safer skies, smarter borders. The question that lingers is simple but unresolved, where does the data go once we're through? The Race for Seamless Borders The European Union's Entry/Exit System is one of the most ambitious identity projects of the decade. Instead of stamping passports, border posts now record fingerprints and facial images from non-EU travelers. In theory, this will speed up crossings and make overstays easier to detect. Early pilots, however, reveal the usual teething pains: slow queues, system resets, and confusion about consent. Across the Atlantic, the United States has been using facial comparison for years at airports and land crossings. Cameras automatically match travelers to their passport photos within seconds. Similar programs are spreading through Canada, the UK, and the Middle East. Singapore's Changi Airport already allows residents to board flights without showing a passport, using only a face and iris scan. To airlines and authorities, this system is irresistible. A single biometric token can replace multiple checks. One face equals one verified identity. The result: shorter waits and fewer human errors. The Promise of Speed When it works well, biometric travel feels frictionless. Passengers move through e-gates without fumbling for papers. Families clear security faster. Airline staff are freed from repetitive verification. Governments can process millions more travelers with fewer officers. Accuracy has also improved. Modern facial recognition algorithms can verify identity in a fraction of a second, and error rates have dropped sharply over the past decade. Combined with fingerprint or iris scans, false matches are now rare. In public messaging, officials cite these figures as proof that technology can safely replace manual checks. This argument resonates in a world that prizes efficiency. After years of pandemic-era bottlenecks, any solution that restores smooth movement feels like progress. But the speed comes at a price few travelers see clearly. The Data We Leave Behind Every face scanned at a border is added to a record. Each record contains personal information, a photo, and sometimes fingerprints. In some regions, that data is stored for years. While authorities frame this as necessary for security and visa management, the sheer scale of collection raises concern. Privacy advocates question how much control travelers truly have. At many airports, saying no to a face scan means a slower, more invasive manual process. Technically, there is consent, but it's hardly an equal choice. For frequent travelers, opting out repeatedly can feel like self-punishment. The issue extends beyond collection to retention and sharing. Some systems keep biometric records for several years. Others allow limited access to law-enforcement databases. And even if policies restrict use, enforcement depends on the weakest link in the data chain: a contractor, a misconfigured server, or a poorly secured archive. Incidents have shown w...
Firstly I would like to thank my friend and podcast sponsor Shaun Sargent of STAIT FOR MEN for making this amazing episode happen.This week, I had the honor of speaking with Mike Bates- Former MOD Covert Operations Leader, Commando & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt turned solo ocean rower, community builder and entrepreneur.There's no-one in the world with Mike's experience.Mike brings exceptional credibility: he served two decades in the UK's Royal Marines and the Ministry of Defence, rising to become a human-intelligence specialist and covert counter-terrorism operations leader ( AKA James Bond, and leading other Bond teams) and was the first officer in the MOD to pass all the required front-line counter-terror courses.Following that elite career, he turned ultra-endurance athlete, completing the 3,000-mile solo row across the Atlantic in just 46 days 6 hours 10 minutes — the fastest Briton and first solo finisher of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. He now co-founds and leads the mission-driven community Unify Men (and its predecessor brand NXT45) focused on men's health, connection, and transformation. His core insight is powerful:The ultimate act of courage for a man is vulnerability. Strength isn't proven by suppressing emotion — it's shown in connection, authenticity, and the bravery to face one's own trauma. Mike's lived experience (in covert ops, ultra-endurance rowing, and men's transformation) underpins that insight. Through immersing men in nature, building safe circles, practicing martial arts (like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and emphasising fundamentals such as sleep and relinquishing ego, he provides a roadmap for modern masculinity.Today, Mike's work with Unify Men gives fathers and men a tribe, creates spaces where men can share truth without shame, and champions that the smartest fight is the one you don't take. He emphasises: prioritise sleep, step outside (into nature), get comfortable with vulnerability, de-escalate ego, and start telling the truth about what you feel.Bottom line: This isn't another “tough guy” message — it's a call to men to live longer, love deeper, and lead better. Mike shows that real power comes when a man stops pretending…and starts connecting. Today, Mike is a man on a mission to help others to become the best version of themselves. Drawing on his own unique, remarkable experiences he inspires and empowers others to live life without limits.

Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had “really frightened” him during World War Two. The U-Boats certainly claimed a bitter harvest among Allied shipping: nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, for a total tonnage of over 14 million tonnes, nearly 70% of Allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war. With justification, then, they are an integral part of the traditional narrative of the Battle of the Atlantic; a story of technological brilliance, dramatic sinkings, life and death, and – of course – the sinister, unseen threat of the U-Boats themselves. For Allied seamen during the war, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves; and the urgent needs of survival afforded them little time or energy to consider the challenges and privations of their enemy. History, however, affords us that time and energy, and any pretence of comprehensiveness demands that we consider what life was like for the crews of those most claustrophobic vessels; packed into a steel hull, at the mercy of the enemy, of the elements – and of basic physics. Germany's U-Boat crews posted the highest per-capita losses of any combat arm during World War Two. Some 30,000 German submariners were killed – over 75% of the total number deployed – the vast majority of whom have no grave except the seabed. Using archival sources, unpublished diaries and existing memoir literature, Wolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War (Basic Books, 2025) by Roger Moorhouse gives the U-Boatmen back their voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired in a comprehensive manner for the first time. With that testimony, Wolfpack takes the reader from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through to the challenges of meeting the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, when their submarines were captured by the enemy or scuttled in ignominy. Using the U-Boatmen's own voices to punctuate an engaging narrative, it tells their story; of courage, certainly, but also of fear, privation and – ultimately – failure. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Broadcasting from a rainy Seattle, Matt Trump celebrates the 200th anniversary of one of America's greatest engineering feats, the Erie Canal. In this thoughtful and entertaining Spellbreakers episode, Matt retraces how the canal reshaped the nation's geography, economy, and identity. From DeWitt Clinton's vision and the “Wedding of the Waters” to the War of 1812 and the rise of New York as America's dominant city, Matt connects the dots between canals, commerce, and the creation of the American spirit. He explores why the Erie Canal made the United States truly continental, linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, and even argues it may have set the stage for the Civil War by uniting the North and West. Blending humor, history, and reflection, Matt revives a forgotten cornerstone of America's story, one that turned muddy ditches into a nation's destiny.

John J. Lennon is a prison journalist who is currently serving a 25-year sentence in Sing Sing prison in New York. His work has been featured by such leading publications as New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York magazine. John's new book is The Tragedy of True Crime. John shares his surreal experience of being on a book tour while inside prison and reflects on his own personal experiences with the "true crime" genre. He also warns about the seductive nature -- and problematic relationship these shows have with reality -- of The First 48, Law and Order, Cops, and others in the reality TV show - crime entertainment genre. John explains how his new book goes beyond the sensationalistic headlines and explores the human side and complexity of four men who have been convicted of murder.

Jones, drawn from petty crime into tragedy as a teenager Michael Shane Hale, a gay man facing the death penalty after a crime of passion Lennon himself, who discovered his voice as a writer while serving time for murder Chauncey DeVega shares what it is like in Chicago as Trump's DHS/ICE immigration dragnet "Operation Midway Blitz" and threats of a National Guard "invasion” have created a climate that feels ripped from a bad dystopian movie. To better understand who would want to take a job working for DHS/ICE as one of its enforcers, Chauncey shares a very important news story from the Intercept where they interview people at a job fair for that government agency. And Chauncey DeVega goes to the local cineplex and reviews three new films: Tron: Ares, The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Paul Thomas Anderson's essential document and cultural artifact of this era One Battle After Another.

The Atlantic wrote a hit piece on Pete Hegseth, calling him a Holy Warrior. She said his introduction of Christian principles is a departure from how previous military leaders have led the military. She's wrong. And if he can lead an organization of 3 million people this way, we have no excuse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Trump administration is preparing to propose opening up federal waters in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for new oil drilling — a move that's expected to spark strong backlash from governors in coastal states across party lines and could specifically put California Governor Gavin Newsom in a tough political position. POLITICO's Ben Lefebvre breaks down this potential proposal, the political fallout ahead and if this is actually something the energy industry wants. Plus, the Interior Department announced on Thursday that it will take several steps to open up Alaska wilderness to drilling and mining.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. In the first part of the program, cohost Eleanor Goldfield welcomes back to the show US marine veteran Matthew Hoh to talk about the realities vs. the stories of the US military. How much does the oath to defend the Constitution really mean in practice? They look at Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseths recent performance and how this relates to the hierarchy of complicity within the higher ranking military brass. Matt and Eleanor also give some historical context to the use of the US military as a domestic police force, and how Hollywood and the stories we consume as Americans bolster these ideas of a top-down restorative violence, affecting how we think about the idea of the worlds largest military taking over our streets. Next up, author Danny Goldberg joins the show to talk about his most recent book, Liberals with Attitude: The Rodney King Beating and the Fight for the Soul of Los Angeles. Danny discusses how this history can serve us in the present, how building coalitions with those we disagree with is critical work, and how using the media – even legacy media – can support our grassroots goals. —— Matthew Hoh is the Associate Director of the Eisenhower Media Network and an Emeritus Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy. He is a disabled Marine Corps combat veteran. In 2009, Matt resigned his post with the State Department in Afghanistan in protest over the escalation of that war. Danny Goldberg is the author of six books including the one were here to discuss today: Liberals With Attitude: The Rodney King Beating and the Fight for the Soul of Los Angeles. He was the chair of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California from 1987-1994 during which the events described in this latest book took place. He is a political activist and serves on the boards of Public Citizen, New Jewish Narrative and Brave New Films, and he is currently the president of Gold Village Entertainment having worked in the music business since the early 1970s as a personal manager for Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Bonnie Raitt, the Alman Brothers and Steve Earle, among others, and as president of three major record companies: Atlantic, Warner Bros, and Mercury. The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The post Confronting the Warrior Ethos / Liberals With Attitude appeared first on KPFA.
"It's not a venue called the Loading dock. It's literally the loading dock."Live from When We Were Young Festival, we're hanging out with Rob Damiani, frontman of the incredible Don Broco. Rob takes us back to one of the most memorable shows of their career at The Loading Dock in Salt Lake City—a venue that is, quite literally, a loading dock. We get into the band's surprisingly emo history, from their early promo photos with the classic emo fringe to their first band name, "Summer Fall," which, as a British band, didn't quite make sense. Rob also discusses the new music they've been releasing, confirming that a brand new record is finished and set for an early 2026 release. We compare the vibrant energy of the current US alternative scene to the struggles facing small venues back in the UK, and how the Myspace era of DIY tours shaped the band they are today. This conversation connects the past and present of pop punk on both sides of the Atlantic.Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00:03] The Story of The Loading Dock in Salt Lake City[00:01:16] Winning $200 in a tour dice game[00:02:02] The Most Emo Song Rob is Listening To Right Now[00:05:46] New Music and the Upcoming Record[00:06:37] Comparing the UK and US Music ScenesGuest/Band Links:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0_EgNcVRz2z4iERNceAQclInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/donbrocoOfficial Website: https://www.donbroco.com/Tour Dates: https://www.donbroco.com/tourEpisode Highlights:"We had probably one of the most funnest shows we've ever played... in our career there, you know, it's, you know, that big and everyone is just on top of each other.""The kings of f***ing emo.

As the Pentagon implements sweeping new restrictions on press access, Jon is joined by Atlantic staff writer Nancy Youssef, War Horse founder Thomas Brennan, and former Pentagon spokesperson and retired Marine Corps Colonel David Lapan. Together, they examine why many journalists vacated the Pentagon and refused to sign on to these rules, explore the realities of military reporting from inside and outside the Pentagon, and discuss what's at stake when a trillion-dollar institution responsible for millions of American lives becomes even more opaque and unaccountable.

In Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, the clock is ticking. The film's fictional president of the United States has less than 20 minutes and very little information to decide whether or not to retaliate against a nuclear missile, launched at the United States, from an unknown source. As with Bigelow's other war movies, the story is disturbingly plausible. During the Cold War, the likely scenario was a war with the Soviet Union. Now there are nine nuclear powers, which makes the possibility of error, rogue actors, or a total information vacuum more likely. We talk with “A House of Dynamite” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and Tom Nichols, a national-security writer at the Atlantic, who consulted on the movie.

The Trump administration's constant flouting of court orders, its conversion of ICE into a massive paramilitary organization, its extortion of universities and corporations. It's all prompted political commentator David Brooks to pose what he calls the question of the decade: “why hasn't a resistance movement materialized here?” A self-described moderate, Brooks says we're naive to think Trumpism will end in three years; rather, if unopposed, “global populism of the sort Trumpism represents could dominate for a generation.” We talk to Brooks about how he assesses the No Kings protests and how he'd build on past social movements to counter the tide of populist authoritarianism. We also talk to him about why learning to see other people more deeply can help build meaningful alliances, a concept he develops in his book “How to Know a Person,” which was just released in paperback.

On the heels of the No Kings protests that drew an estimated seven million Americans, there seems to be a strong coalition to take on Trump and the GOP. But, what will the Democrats' message be? Jessica Tarlov and guest host David Frum of The Atlantic discuss the Democratic Party's predicament — and the value of tacking to the center. Plus: is there a justifiable rationale for the Trump administration's deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean? And, Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's insurgent campaign was set back last week by years of past internet comments coming to light.

Pentagon's Restrictive Media Policy Following Classified Information Breach. John Batchelor and Jeff McCausland discuss the perplexing new Pentagon policy that restricts information flow and excludes major media. This situation contrasts with the historic media access observed during events like the D-Day invasion in 1944. The current restrictive policy appears to stem from the "great Signal gate controversy" involving Mr. Hegseth. Hegseth transmitted highly classified information regarding an airstrike against Yemen, including details from correspondence with the Central Command commander, using an unclassified Signal transmission. He also inadvertently included the editor of the Atlantic in the chat. An Inspector General investigation into Hegseth's violation of classified information norms is pending. McCausland suggests this incident made the Secretary of Defense fearful, leading to this effort to isolate the American military from the public through media restrictions. 1944
