Recorded live in Brisbane, Australia, this week's Bugle sees Andy Zaltzman joined on stage by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser for a high-energy international tour of scandal, chaos, and cinematic derangement.
Before convicts were shipped to Australia, they rotted aboard decommissioned warships anchored in the Thames — floating dungeons so brutal that a condemned man called them "a college of villainy" where every prisoner graduated "a master of arts in scoundrelism."IN THIS EPISODE: It was in 1975 when the first skull of what was believed to be Bigfoot was found. But the owner of the skull hadn't been dead too long, for the local people said they remembered the creature before it died. And even more shocking – they personally knew some of its descendants – a cross-breeding of Bigfoot and human beings! (Villagers Remember Descendants of Bigfoot) *** A young woman falls unconscious and awakes with a fantastical story about fairies kissing her, how she was treated like a princess by them, and falling in love with one of the fairy men. While you might say it was just a fanciful dream, how do you explain that this girl also woke up with clairvoyant abilities? (The Fairies and Anne Jeffries) *** On 15 July 1910 the Sheffield Evening Telegraph recorded the anniversaries of the day. One particular entry was this: “Prison hulks first seen on the Thames…1776”. But what were the prison hulks, and what was life like on board these ‘floating hells,' as they came to be known? (Floating Hells) ***Depending on whether or not you want to get the scare of your life, you will either want to, or not want to honk your car's horn three times on Burnt Mill Road in the Pine Barrens area of New Jersey. If you do, you risk an encounter with the Atco Ghost. (The Atco Ghost Legend of New Jersey) *** Archaeologists excavating the tomb of an ancient Egyptian queen just discovered something chilling… a 13-foot long scroll – a lost chapter from Egypt's “Book of the Dead”. (Queen Nearit's Book of the Dead) *** Feeling the Lord Ganesha wanted milk, a man ran to get some and placed it before the elephant headed statue in a temple near his home. Then it happened… the milk disappeared as if the statue had consumed it. And then the same thing happened to others… and others.

What if spirits had been trying to reach you your entire life?"I saw things no one else could see. I talked to them, too. At first, I thought it was normal—until I realized no one else could hear them."For as long as she can remember, Jackie Kenner has lived between two worlds. In Parked By the Exit, this psychic medium lifts the veil, sharing firsthand encounters with Spirit, multidimensional beings, and the unseen forces that shaped her path.What began as whispers and visions in childhood led to the awakening of her mediumship abilities, the discovery of soul memories, and undeniable proof that reality is far more expansive than most people realize.But awakening comes at a cost. What happens when you know things others don't? When the world tells you to doubt yourself? When your gifts challenge everything you've been taught about life and death?With raw honesty and an unfiltered, direct style, Kenner explores the family disapproval, societal skepticism, and personal struggles that come with embracing a calling most refuse to understand.This is more than a memoir—it's a mirror for those awakening to their own intuitive abilities. If you've ever wondered whether your visions, dreams, or gut feelings mean something more, this book is for you.Inside, you'll explore:Firsthand accounts of spirit communication, ghosts, and multidimensional encountersThe truth about mediumship—what it really feels like to open up to SpiritThe emotional and social cost of psychic awakening—and why it's worth itPast lives, spirit guides, soul memories, and what they reveal about the afterlifeFor readers of:Dr. Michael Newton, Robert Monroe, Dolores Cannon, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Henry, Suzanne Giesemann, Laura Lynne Jackson, Sonia Choquette, Brian Weiss, and anyone fascinated by mediumship, the afterlife, reincarnation, spiritual awakening, and the unseen world.BioJackie Kenner is an established Psychic Medium and Spiritual Business Consultant in Dallas. Before her current endeavors, Kenner pursued graduate studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Her professional journey led her to New York City, where she spent over a decade serving in management consulting and operational capacities within the technology startup sphere.With a wealth of experience, Kenner has guided numerous authors to successful publication, specializing in esoteric and spiritually-driven subjects. Her debut solo publication, Parked by the Exit, chronicles her transformative path to Psychic Mediumship. Kenner's literary contributions have been translated into multiple languages, including German, French, and Spanish.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift never fight. Nor do George and Amal Clooney. Not about work, money, cleaning, travel or whose turn it is to feed the dog (sorry, cats.) An aspirational relationship goal? Or a flashing red flag? Also, this week the whole world is looking at Australia as our world-first social media delay kicks in on Wednesday, December 10.

Plus, Oprah Winfrey is in Australia and drawing huge crowds with her trademark a-ha moments. So why is Oprah still so interesting to Aussie women in 2025?

Australia is on the cusp of banning social media for children, with countries around the world expected to follow suit. Teenagers and tech companies alike have argued that the ban hurts free speech, but politicians and parents are concerned about the mental-health impacts on young people as more studies show that social media can worsen feelings of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. WSJ tech reporters Sam Schechner and Georgia Wells discuss the pros and cons of a social-media ban and what it could mean for companies' bottom line. Caitlin McCabe hosts.

Australia Dominates England in First Ashes Test Amidst Heat and Humidity: Colleague Jeremy Zakis reports that Australia has taken a commanding lead in the Ashes, scoring 511 runs to England's opening 334, attributing the English team's struggle to the harsh Australian environment ranging from 100-degree dry heat in Perth to tropical humidity in Brisbane, which fatigues players and alters ball aerodynamics; the Australian squad appears to be executing a strategic "long ball" game that England failed to anticipate, with an Australian victory in the next match in Melbourne set to secure the series win. 1937
In recent years component parts of historic shipwrecks have started to disappear, with reports of mysterious vessels and scavengers floating around. This phenomenon has been reported in Indonesia, Australia, and the Netherlands. One theory is that the target for plunderers is pre-atomic steel, i.e any steel produced before the nuclear testing era, and therefore free of radioactive particles. Its purer material composition makes it essential in the manufacturing of specialist scientific tools such as MRI machines, and as such is highly valuable. Shipwrecks - oftentimes war graves - are one of the few remaining sources for this material. Materials scientist Anna Ploszajski investigates a murky picture of illegal plundering across the globe.
Off season isn't really a thing any more. We are global and year-round action, this time from Australia and Sweden.
What if the world’s biggest social media company discovered its platforms were harming mental health… and then buried the evidence? Today, Justin and Kylie unpack explosive court documents about Meta’s secret research, the upcoming social media age-limit legislation, and what really happens when we step away from the online world. Then, we dive into your powerful responses to our most controversial episode of the year — including raw truths from parents who feel exhausted, confused, and desperate for answers. This episode will make you think differently about screens, kids, “normality,” and what families actually need. KEY POINTS Meta allegedly hid internal research showing users became less depressed after deleting Facebook. Why this matters ahead of Australia’s new social media minimum-age legislation. Justin’s own social media detox — and the surprising wellbeing shift. Why young teens are the most vulnerable to social platforms. The cultural shift toward labels, diagnoses, and pathologising behaviour. Parents respond to the Sammy Tamimi episode: gratitude, confusion, frustration, exhaustion. The power — and danger — of language when describing kids’ struggles. Why the environment (screens, sleep, school, structure) often matters more than labels. Reassurance: you can hold the nuance — be curious and compassionate without losing hope. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "When we change our language, we change our experience." — Justin RESOURCES MENTIONED Meta court case reporting (news.com.au) Searching for Normal by Dr. Sammy Tamimi Previous Happy Families episode featuring Dr. Sammy Tamimi Research on Facebook deactivation and mental health ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Audit your child’s digital environment — sleep, screens, stimulation, social pressure. Create a family phone culture (including boundaries around late-night messaging). Hold diagnoses lightly, not dismissively — take what helps, leave what harms. Stay curious about what might be driving big emotions or behaviour. Prioritise connection over correction when your child is struggling. Remember progress > perfection — small steps make a big difference. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this re-release episode, we revisit one of Australia's most haunting murder cases. On Christmas Day 1952, the body of Shirley Butler was found not far from her Sydney home. The vivacious 21-year-old had last been seen on Christmas Eve, in a festive mood, boarding a packed city. What had happened next? Who had killed her and why? In their search for answers, an army of detectives would scour the city for clues – and authorise a world-first radio re-enactment of her last fateful journey. The man they were looking for? A Russian magician with a Hitler moustache.It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

Driven by extensive Japanese primary sources, Gamble in the Coral Sea: Japan's Offensive, the Carrier Battle, and the Road to Midway (Naval Institute Press, 2025) offers an operational analysis of the first clash of aircraft carriers at the pivotal Battle of the Coral Sea from the Japanese perspective, including leadership, tactics, and errors that brought a numeric victory but a strategic loss for Japan that halted their bold advance into the South Pacific and ultimately set the stage for Midway. The opening salvos of the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first large-scale carrier clash in history, were fired one month before Midway. Gamble in the Coral Sea recounts, for the first time in English, the story of this battle from the Japanese point of view. Based on extensive Japanese-language sources, author Michal A. Piegzik forcefully challenges established Western narratives surrounding this critical engagement in the Pacific War. Operation MO, the Japanese plan to seize Port Moresby, kicked off in early May 1942. By committing three carriers, including the famous Shōkaku and Zuikaku, the Nippon Kaigun's command risked a critical part of their fleet just before the envisaged decisive battle at Midway in the Central Pacific, scheduled for early July. The operation was considered a vital part of Japanese strategy. Victory would isolate Australia and New Zealand and extend access to vital resources crucial to Japan's war effort. Victory, however, would prove elusive after American codebreakers deciphered Japanese radio traffic that revealed their plans in the weeks leading up to the launch of Operation MO. Using this intelligence to their advantage, U.S forces located elements of the Japanese navy as they steamed through the Coral Sea. Soon after, history's first carrier battle began. Piegzik combines expertise in military history with mastery of the Japanese language to provide a rare perspective on the Imperial Japanese Navy's operational choices during the battle. His use of Japanese archival documents and personal testimonies from surviving Japanese crew members uncovers new dimensions to the battle. The clash proved to be a Pyrrhic victory for the Japanese, who sunk the Lexington and crippled the Yorktown but were forced to call off Operation MO due to the severe damage inflicted on Shōkaku and the heavy losses among their aircrews. Revealed here are the circumstances and actual reasons for the Japanese failure and the revised impact of the Battle of the Coral Sea on the Battle of Midway. Beyond tactical details, Piegzik offers insight into the broader consequences of the battle. He engages with sources previously underexplored and integrates them with Allied perspectives to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the events. A vital addition to any World War II collection, Gamble in the Coral Sea offers a nuanced and thorough exploration of a battle that significantly shaped the trajectory of the war in the Pacific.

Dr. Ralf Jeutter discusses the foundational principles of Hahnemannian homeopathy. He emphasizes the importance of observing patients' unique experiences and symptoms, rather than categorizing diseases or personalities, highlighting Hahnemann's focus on phenomenology. Dr. Jeutter also explores common misconceptions in interpreting the Organon, particularly around mental and emotional symptoms, and stresses that remedies should be understood through careful study of provings and original texts. He cautions against oversimplifying remedies into psychological types, which can obscure the depth of each patient's experience. Throughout the conversation, he encourages a return to the core principles of homeopathy, combining attentive clinical observation with a thorough understanding of the remedies. Episode Highlights: 03:56 - Ralf's Journey into Homeopathy 09:45 - Accessing German Texts and the Organon 11:17 - Misconceptions in Interpreting the Organon 18:00 - What are we supposed to do in a homeopathic consultation 19:33 - Understanding the Altered State in Homeopathy 24:06 - Differences Between Hahnemannian and Kentian Homeopathy 28:59 - The Role of Mental Symptoms 30:17 - The Balance Between Psychological and Physical Symptoms 33:34 - What Truly Never Changed in Hahnemann's Homeopathy 41:43 - A Radical Shift in How We Understand Disease 49:57 - Re-examining the Syphilis Model 57:12 - When Everything Is Called Homeopathy 01:02:59 - Why Studying Hahnemann Still Matters 01:08:22 - Where Did Succussion Really Come From About my Guests: Dr. Ralf Jeutter has been involved in homeopathy for over 20 years and is an international teacher and practitioner. He qualified in homeopathy in 2000 from the North-West College of Homeopathy in the UK and continued his medical and homeopathic training at the Institute of Clinical Research in Bombay and Pune, India.

Parents and teens are preparing for life cut off from social media when Australia's world first ban for under-16s officially starts on Wednesday. The government has admitted it will take time to remove everyone aged under 16 from the platforms and it's becoming clear older users could get caught in the net. So, how can you prove that you're old enough to use the 10 platforms being targeted and how will teens get around the restrictions? Today, Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson, a tech reporter at the Australian Associated Press on what you need to know as the ban kicks in and why it could get messy.Featured: Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson, AAP technology reporterCorrection: The social media ban officially starts on Wednesday 10th December, not Thursday.
Australia is restricting access to social media accounts for under-16s, and many families are wondering what it means in practice. While the rules place responsibility on tech platforms rather than young people or their parents, the changes may still create stress for teens who rely on social media to stay connected. Find out how the ban will work, why connection still matters, and how experts suggest supporting young people through the transition. - 16歳未満のソーシャルメディア利用を制限する法律「Social Media Ban」が12月10日に施行されます。多くの家庭では、この規制が生活にどのような影響を及ぼすのか、不安や疑問の声が上がっています。今回の規制では、若者や保護者ではなく、SNSプラットフォーム側に責任が課されます。しかし、SNSを通じて友人関係やコミュニティとのつながりを保ってきたティーンにとっては、利用環境の変化がストレスとなる可能性も指摘されています。新たな規制がどのように運用されるのか、若者にとって「つながり」がなぜ重要なのか、そして施行にあたり専門家が勧める若者支援のポイントについて紹介します。

Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Stearns Mandel
The conversation opens with End of the Year reflections and personal milestones—international book releases, masterclasses, collaborations and community work—and quickly moves to a timely, thorny question: can we talk honestly about male violence without “shaming” men? We take a stand for courage, honesty and clarity, using global data, real cases, and practical frameworks to show how accountability, truth about behaviours and their impact and compassion can live side by side. Our goal isn't to score points; it's to keep families safer, support children's well-being, and help men find a way back into healthy connection.We share insights from research in Australia, including applications of the Safe & Together Model in child and family services and in Aboriginal-led settings. That work underscores a core theme: organize around shared values, not shared trauma. We explain why labels and decontextual tags fail families, and why pattern-based, contextual practice—mapping behaviors, impacts, and risk—succeeds. Along the way, we address restorative justice and carceral responses with nuance: both can help or harm depending on how they're used, and some people do require firm containment. The standard remains constant—what increases survivor safety, improves children's stability, and creates the strongest opportunities for behavior change.We also unpack the “shame” debate with care. Shame is a human emotion; the task is to guide it into inclusive responsibility, not silence the conversation. The facts are clear: men are disproportionately perpetrators of serious violence, and boys growing up amid coercive control learn dangerous scripts about loss and power. Naming this is not man-bashing—it's a necessary move toward balance, health, and prevention. We close with a story of loving confrontation that strengthened a father-child bond, offering a model for how accountability can deepen connection rather than destroy it.If this resonates, subscribe and share the episode with someone who cares about safer families, effective practice, and honest conversations.
