Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Gather round as the legendary Melrosing gives us all the gritty details from the first showing of ‘The Mad King' by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. George R. R. Martin was involved, so there are canon ASoIaF arguments brewing. Just remember: not believing R+L=J is a dealbreaker, ladies. We talk through the new reveals about Lyanna Stark, Elia Martell, and Ashara Dayne to mixed reviews. Rhaegar Targaryen reviews go from bad to worse. Nedbert gets a moment. Dany reveals cause aftershocks. GRRM's obsession with prophecy is now everyone's problem. But, most importantly, Jaime Lannister is unquestionably portrayed as a hero. Kingslayer, affectionate. (Pay no attention to the cabbages.) A Song of Ice and Fire. The Mad King Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 646

In this episode, Derek talks to local WI hunter and videographer Kyle Hollibush of Avon Legend. Kyle was a late-onset hunter starting only 8 seasons ago, but has the drive and thirst for knowledge that has really helped him “figure it out” in the marsh bottoms.  Kyle discusses his experience getting into hunting, where he found inspiration and information, and how the COVID pandemic helped accelerate his learning curve. Kyle discusses how he used trail cameras to help monitor ditches and water crossings to help locate traveling bucks. After finding a good buck, Kyle likes to locate nearby doe bedding thickets and leave soaker cameras up on the outside transitions to learn yearly patterns of pre-rut and rut buck movements checking does.  Kyle dives into detail of how he found a buck on one such camera and, over the course of a couple of seasons, continued to explore and learn more about the area and timing of the buck's movements. One massive scrape in a thicket near a doe bedding area gave Kyle the intel he needed to set up and kill “Tiny” with his bow during the prerut.  Kyle also explains his desire to bowhunt the Ohio rut after having the privilege of gun hunting Ohio and seeing the mature buck sign some of the Republic Ground offered.  Kyle ends the episode with 3 major takeaways that are absolute truths for anyone looking to get serious about killing mature bucks.

Why building genuine, non-transactional ties with your building and health inspectors matters, and how those ties let him reopen the morning after disaster.Surviving disaster. The Thanksgiving a car crashed through his building, and what it takes to manage contractors, insurers and inspectors when everything falls apart.The brutal math of slow days. A Tuesday in February with $75 in total sales, and how to hold your nerve on labor, utilities and staff morale when the register goes quiet.Outsource the numbers. Why accounting and payroll should go to professionals, because you can't afford to get tax codes wrong on zero sleep.Learning to let go. How over-managing slows your team and hurts your labor metrics, and why delegation is the hardest skill for a perfectionist owner.Consistency and creativity. Following recipes to a T for customers who expect the same pizza every time, while giving staff room to build fun weekly slice specials.Lease and loan landmines. The commercial lease clauses and loan terms that carry personal liability, and how to tell good money from bad.The emotional cost. Seven days a week for two straight years, and the private toll of ownership no one warns you about.Michael brings this same candor to his workshop at Pizza Expo Columbus: W01, You Want to Open a Pizza Restaurant? on Sunday, October 11, from 8 a.m. to noon ($250). Workshop Description: Dreaming of opening your own pizzeria from scratch?

But it's not just about the nuts and bolts — it's about the blood, sweat, and tears (and maybe a few sleepless nights) that come with building your dream. Michael's insights could be the difference between success and heartbreak. If you're ready to take the plunge, this session is a must. Register now for Pizza Expo Columbus .

Imagine being able to dig through Shakespeare's manuscripts and ask him about his writing process. Did King Lear survive in the first draft? What if Hamlet originally said, “To live or not to live?” While we can only dream about that opportunity, scholar and Everyday Shakespeare host Caroline Bicks experienced something close to it when she gained unprecedented access to the archives of another famous author: Stephen King. The Bard of Avon and the King of Horror have more in common than you might think. Both are popular and prolific authors who have been praised and derided for writing for the masses. But both also pay close attention to the sounds of words, the flow of names, and the rhythms of sentences. And sometimes, King's work even takes inspiration from Shakespeare himself. In this episode, Bicks draws fascinating parallels between Shakespeare and King and shares how she became the first scholar permitted to explore King's personal papers. Her book, Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King recounts her chance to live every scholar's dream—while surrounded by the stuff of nightmares.

Shannon Joy discusses the current state of the world and individual liberty. The world is in late-stage imperial decline characterized by widespread institutional corruption and a push for transnational technocratic control. The conversation examines COVID-19 as a pivotal psychological and military operation used to normalize biometric surveillance, digital IDs, and forced medical protocols. A financial crisis is likely the next shoe to drop. Despite these challenges, the dialogue emphasizes a growing global resistance rooted in skepticism, decentralization, and the refusal to comply with authoritarian agendas.  Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

You can find Emily Franklin at www.emilyfranklin.com or on IG at emilyfranklinauthor   At the end of May, we attended a Carmichael's book event featuring author Emily Franklin, who has written numerous books. Her latest titled Love & Other Monsters is about a time in history that most English majors look on with awe and wonder. Her novel is about the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori traveled to Switzerland and, as the legend goes, told scary stories to each other, which ended up leading to the first vampire story and the book we now know as Frankenstein. But Franklin's novel focuses on a member of the party who doesn't get any acknowledgement—Mary's step-sister Claire Clairemont. Emily did a great job making the Carmichael's audience want to learn more about Claire's story, so we invited her on to share it with our listeners.     And for our book recommendation segment of the show, we are talking Shakespeare, the Bard, the Swan of Avon, Willy Shakes.  Shakespeare is such a touchstone in literature in ways that we don't regularly think about like classic phrases and tropes.  But you don't have to be (or not to be) a Shakespeare scholar to enjoy the books we talk about this week.  We have a historical mystery, witty nonfiction, historical fiction, a memoir, a middle grade novel, and a novel in verse.  All are influenced in some way by Shakespeare's plays or the man himself.     Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- Love and Other Monsters by Emily Franklin  2- Grandma Joy & Me: A Journey of Healing , One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan  3- The Humming Room by Ellen Potter  4- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett  5- Summer of 1816: A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day  6- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  7- The Vampyre by John Polidori  8- Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Mushrooms Taught Me About Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival by Maria Pinto 9- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman 10- Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  11- Wisdom Corner by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  12- A Five Star Read of Fellow Book Lover Joshua  - Devotions by Mary Oliver  13- Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd  14- Much Ado About Mistletoe by Christina Dodd  15- Shakespeare: The World as a Stage by Bill Bryson  16- By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult  17- Enter the Body by Joy McCullough  18- Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench  19- The Wednesday Wars by Gary D.

William Shakespeare stands as one of history's greatest writers and most enduring cultural icons. His timeless works have inspired, moved, and mystified audiences for over 400 years. Yet behind the legendary name lies a profound enigma: we know remarkably little about the man from Stratford-upon-Avon. How could a provincial actor with limited formal education produce some of the most sophisticated literature ever written—works rich in aristocratic insight, legal knowledge, classical learning, and intimate details of court life?In this captivating episode, we dive deep into the Shakespeare Authorship Question, exploring the compelling possibility that the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by someone else—a hidden genius who used the name as a front. Could this be one of literature's greatest conspiracies?We are thrilled to welcome Katherine Chiljan, acclaimed author of Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth About Shakespeare and His Works. A UCLA graduate and dedicated independent researcher, Chiljan spent years examining historical records to challenge the traditional narrative. Her book presents meticulously documented evidence questioning the Stratford man's authorship and sheds new light on the true origins of these masterpieces.Joining us is our co-host, Mark Eddy, a passionate researcher in alternative history who has devoted extensive time to investigating the Shakespeare conspiracy theories. Together with our guests, we examine the leading alternative candidates—such as Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, Francis Bacon, and Christopher Marlowe—along with the historical, textual, and biographical clues that fuel this fascinating debate.Prepare to challenge everything you thought you knew. This episode will rewrite the history books, ignite fresh perspectives, and reveal why the alternative theories often feel more plausible than the official story. Open your mind to a literary mystery that continues to intrigue scholars, historians, and truth-seekers alike.Whether you're a longtime Shakespeare enthusiast or new to the authorship debate, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Episode 111: The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht Host: Douglas Schatz Guests: Stephen Sharkey and Tom Kuhn Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Bertolt Brecht's 'gangster spectacle', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is both an exuberant and funny piece of theatre, and a chillingly topical political satire. Set in the 1930s Chicago of Al Capone, Brecht presents a parody of the rise of Hitler through the character of the gangster Arturo Ui. The play is a universal cry for vigilance against the rise of unscrupulous, populist leaders who threaten democratic societies and global peace. As we recorded this episode a new production of the play by the Royal Shakespeare Company was playing in Stratford-upon-Avon, starring Mark Gatiss as the title character. I am delighted to be joined by both the show's translator, playwright Stephen Sharkey, and by Brecht scholar, Professor Tom Kuhn, to guide us through Brecht's political parody.

Glorification Season 2, Episode 10 Gospel Vocabulary In this closing episode of Season 2's Gospel Vocabulary series, Derek and Caleb explore the rich hope of glorification—the final and certain completion of our salvation in Christ. They unpack the Christian's future hope of resurrection, renewed bodies, and the coming new heavens and new earth, showing how the promise of what is ahead gives strength, courage, and perspective for life today. This encouraging conversation reminds listeners that because Christ has begun the work, He will surely bring it to completion—our ultimate hope is secure because Jesus is enough.Follow GraceWalk Radio on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gracewalkradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek Levendusky is the Lead Pastor at Redeeming Hope in Clarksville, TN. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.redeeminghope.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caleb Berg is one of the Pastors at GraceLife Church in Avon, NY. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gracelifeavon.com

In this episode, John-Mark is joined by Dr. Robert Strivens to discuss "The 1689 Handbook", a chapter-by-chapter introduction to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith with a foreword by Michael Haykin. Strivens outlines his pastoral background in Bradford-on-Avon, his years at London Seminary, and his earlier career as a solicitor, then explains how he moved from suspicion of confessions to valuing them, especially the 1689 as reflecting Scripture. He describes the book's origin in Reformation Today articles and its aim to provide a concise, non-polemical entry point alongside larger commentaries.The conversation highlights how confessions and church history help believers see beyond modern cultural assumptions, clarify doctrine on God and human freedom, connect to earlier councils and Reformation confessions, encourage careful understanding of language, and show that theology should serve piety and pastoral Christian living.Available Here: The 1689 HandbookSend us Fan MailContact Broken WharfeTweet us @BrokenwharfeFind us on Facebook at BrokenWharfeFollow us on Instagram at BrokenWharfeEmail us at info@brokenwharfe.comThanks for listening!

Sanctification Season 2, Episode 9 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode of GraceWalk Radio, Derek and Caleb unpack sanctification, emphasizing that it is not about behavior modification or earning God's favor, but the Spirit-driven outworking of a believer's already-secured salvation. They highlight the crucial order of the gospel—justification comes first, and sanctification flows from it—warning against reversing the two. Rather than striving harder, true sanctification is described as growing in dependence on Christ, even becoming more aware of one's need for grace. Ultimately, the conversation reframes sanctification as a lifelong process of being conformed to the image of Jesus, lived out in community and fueled entirely by God's grace.

Atonement Season 2, Episode 8 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode of GraceWalk Radio, Derek and Caleb explore the meaning of atonement, describing it as the complete covering and removal of sin through the work of Jesus Christ. Drawing from both Old and New Testament imagery, they contrast the repeated sacrifices of the old covenant with Christ's once-for-all sacrifice that fully cleanses and secures eternal redemption. They emphasize that in Christ, believers are “covered” and seen as righteous before God—not because sin is ignored, but because it was fully dealt with at the cross. Ultimately, the episode highlights the depth of God's grace and the sufficiency of Jesus' finished work: our sin is removed, and in Him, there is no condemnation.

Propitiation Season 2, Episode 7 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode of GraceWalk Radio, Derek and Caleb unpack the meaning of propitiation, explaining it as Jesus' once-for-all, wrath-removing sacrifice on the cross. Drawing from Scripture and Old Testament imagery, they highlight how Christ fully satisfied God's judgment against sin, leaving no wrath remaining for those in Him. The conversation emphasizes the freedom this brings—believers no longer live under condemnation or the need to earn forgiveness, but can quickly return to grace after failure. Ultimately, propitiation points to the sufficiency of Christ's work and the liberating truth that through Him, we have full and confident access to the Father.Follow GraceWalk Radio on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gracewalkradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek Levendusky is the Lead Pastor at Redeeming Hope in Clarksville, TN. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.redeeminghope.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caleb Berg is one of the Pastors at GraceLife Church in Avon, NY. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gracelifeavon.com

This podcast is released as part of a collaboration between Fiftyfaces Productions and the Always a Pensions Angle Podcast produced by DG Publishing.  Nick Dixon is Head of Pensions, Avon Pension Fund, which he has led since 2022.  Avon Pension Fund serves c.140,000 members in the public sector across Bristol, Bath and surrounding areas and is now a partner fund of Local Pensions Partnership.  Previously Nick advised private sector wealth platforms on their pensions and investment proposition. He was CIO of Aegon UK from 2013-21, focused on DC workplace pensions. From 2001-13 Nick was Marketing Director for wealth & pensions platform Quilter.Our conversation has a particular focus on an engagement exercise that Avon conducted around the fund's investment in aerospace and defence companies. Nick explained that during 2024 and 2025 the fund received a lot of petitions from its members who were deeply concerned about the war in Gaza, and the indirect role of aerospace and defence companies in supplying Israel. In response to that, a critical stakeholder issue, they conducted a survey of all members. We opened up the issue to bring out a set of trade-offs, including the importance of NATO defence, the concern about arms impacts on the environment, the fact that they kill innocent civilians. The consultation had reasonable engagement - with 11% of the fund members responding, and the result was that 42% wanted to divest, about 47% said they'd like to remain invested, and about 11% said they didn't know. The fund did not consider this a clear mandate to divest – and therefore decided to remain invested.We discuss the importance of engagement generally as well as this critical, sometimes emotive, issue, which has emerged for many local authority pension funds. We reflect on whether surveys and engagement in this way could be a way forward for other funds in the future as these issues continue to gain traction with the underlying beneficiaries and stakeholders.

In this episode of In The LOOP Podcast, Jordan Jo sits down with Judy Wagner for a heartfelt conversation about purpose, mentorship, relationships, branding, faith, and the power of planting seeds that can change lives. From growing up on a ranch in Avon, Montana, to building iconic Western brands like Gator Ropes and helping shape the legacy of Montana Silversmiths, Judy shares the stories, lessons, and moments that defined her journey in the Western industry. The two also dive into the meaning behind “Nice Job Cowgirl,” the importance of encouraging others, navigating different seasons of life, building authentic relationships, and why purpose should always remain at the center of everything we do. Fresh off receiving the 2026 Pam Minick Lifetime Achievement Award at the Premier Women's Rodeo and speaking at the Cowgirl 30 Under 30 Leadership Conference, Judy reflects on legacy, leadership, mentorship, and the impact of simply believing in people. At the heart of the conversation is a reminder that success is never built alone. The seeds we plant, the relationships we nurture, and the encouragement we give to others can leave a lasting impact far beyond what we may ever see.

Faith Season 2, Episode 6 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode of GraceWalk Radio, Derek and Caleb unpack the meaning of faith and why its power lies not in its strength, but in its object—Jesus Christ. Through relatable illustrations, they show that faith is simply the “empty hands” that receive what Christ has already accomplished, emphasizing that it is not faith itself that saves, but Christ alone. They also explore how faith sustains believers through suffering, helping them trust God's promises even when they cannot yet see the outcome. Ultimately, the conversation points to a deeper assurance: whether weak or strong, true faith rests in the finished work of Jesus.

Righteousness Season 2, Episode 5 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode of GraceWalk Radio, Derek and Caleb explore the meaning of righteousness and why it is central to the gospel. They unpack the difference between imputed righteousness—the perfect righteousness of Christ credited to believers by faith—and imparted righteousness, which grows over time in the Christian life. Through stories from figures like Martin Luther and John Bunyan, they highlight how true freedom comes not from striving to be good, but from receiving Christ's finished work. The conversation ultimately points listeners to rest in the unchanging truth that in the gospel, Jesus Himself is our righteousness.Follow GraceWalk Radio on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gracewalkradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek Levendusky is the Lead Pastor at Redeeming Hope in Clarksville, TN. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.redeeminghope.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caleb Berg is one of the Pastors at GraceLife Church in Avon, NY. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gracelifeavon.com

Justification Season 2, Episode 4 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode, Derek and Caleb explore justification as part of their gospel vocabulary series, contrasting a performance-driven world with the rest found in Christ. They explain that justification is a finished work—being declared righteous by God through faith, not effort. Looking at Scripture, they show that no one can be made right through the law, but only through Christ, whose righteousness is credited to believers. This leads to the powerful truth of peace with God—not just inner calm, but the end of God's wrath and full reconciliation through Jesus. Ultimately, the episode calls listeners to rest in the gospel: there is no condemnation in Christ, and nothing we do can add to what He has already finished.Follow GraceWalk Radio on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gracewalkradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek Levendusky is the Lead Pastor at Redeeming Hope in Clarksville, TN. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.redeeminghope.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caleb Berg is one of the Pastors at GraceLife Church in Avon, NY. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gracelifeavon.com

“Fraud makes up between 40 and 50 percent of all crime in the UK. Police resource dedicated to fraud: 1 percent. No country is giving fraud the attention it deserves.” — Becky Holmes Was Shakespeare a fraud? Possibly, says Becky Holmes, the Stratford-upon-Avon-based writer and the lady behind the X account @deathtospinach. She should know. Best known as the author of Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You, a cult hit among the romance fraud crowd, Holmes' latest book is The Future of Fraud. It's a short, sharp, witty history and anatomy of fraud, from the first recorded case in ancient Greece to today's AI-enabled deepfakes and romance scams. Holmes' most alarming statistic is that fraud accounts for between 40 and 50 percent of all crime in the United Kingdom, while only 1% of police resources are dedicated to investigating it. No wonder so few fraudsters are ever prosecuted. Holmes wants more Sherlocks. She wants fraud awareness on every school curriculum. And she wants our language to change. No, you didn't “fall for” a scam. Your money was stolen from you. As if you were mugged on the street or your home was broken into. The internet was bad enough for fraud. But AI, she warns, offers online criminals even more opportunity. It's not just Keanu Reeves who isn't in love with you. Never trust a handsome soldier, she says. Especially a virtual one. Five Takeaways •       The First Recorded Fraud: 300 BC, Greece: A Greek merchant took out an insurance policy on his boat, borrowed money, and planned to sink it and collect the proceeds. It didn't go according to plan. But the basic structure — a false representation designed to extract money or goods from another party — has not changed in 2,300 years. Every fraud since, from the South Sea Bubble to Bernie Madoff to AI-enabled romance scams, is a variation on the same theme: getting something from someone by not telling the truth. •       AI Has Erased All the Red Flags: Holmes used to advise romance fraud victims and potential victims: if he won't do a video call, that's suspicious. If the voice sounds wrong, that's suspicious. If he can't meet in person, that's suspicious. AI has rendered all of these warnings useless. You can now have a fully convincing video call, voice message, and real-time conversation with someone who doesn't exist. Deepfakes mean you can't even trust what your eyes tell you. The “red flags” that protected fraud victims for thirty years are gone. •       40 to 50 Percent of Crime, 1 Percent of Resource: In the United Kingdom, fraud accounts for between 40 and 50 percent of all recorded crime. Police resources dedicated to investigating fraud: 1 percent. Holmes cites a comparable US statistic: in one state, there were millions of people and ten police officers dedicated to cybercrime — and not one of them did it as their primary job. No country, Holmes argues, is giving fraud the attention it deserves. The gap between the scale of the problem and the resources devoted to it is not a funding issue. It is a political choice. •       You Didn't Lose Your Money. It Was Taken from You: Holmes has a crusade about language. The phrase “fell for a scam” implies the victim's credulity caused the loss. “Lost their money” implies carelessness. Both are wrong: in fraud, money is taken by a deliberate criminal act. Holmes wants the language changed because language shapes understanding, and understanding shapes policy. If fraud victims are seen as complicit in their own victimhood, society finds it easier to underfund investigation and under-prosecute offenders. Reclaiming the language is not symbolic. It is strategic. •       Fraud Awareness Should Be on Every School Curriculum: Holmes's most concrete prescription. Every person on the planet will encounter fraud at some point. Teaching children to recognise it should be as basic as teaching them to cross the road safely. It should be age-appropriate: fraud awareness around gaming sites and online chat when children first go online; around bank accounts and credit cards when they turn eighteen; around investment fraud at university level. The alternative — leaving it to parents, who are often themselves uneducated about fraud — is not good enough. The next generation of fraudsters is already on the gaming headsets. About the Guest Becky Holmes is the creator of the X account @deathtospinach, a fraud prevention speaker and writer, and the author of The Future of Fraud (Melville House, April 2026) and Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You: The Murky World of Online Romance Fraud.

Gospel Season 2, Episode 3 Gospel Vocabulary In this episode, Derek and Caleb kick off a new series on gospel vocabulary by exploring the foundation of it all—the gospel itself. They unpack the difference between objective truth and subjective feelings, emphasizing that true freedom comes from anchoring our lives in what Christ has done, not in our performance or circumstances. The gospel is not advice or a call to self-improvement, but good news—an accomplished work through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Ultimately, they remind listeners that the gospel is the heart of the Christian faith: the finished work of Christ, received by faith, and the only true power for salvation.Follow GraceWalk Radio on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gracewalkradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek Levendusky is the Lead Pastor at Redeeming Hope in Clarksville, TN. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.redeeminghope.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caleb Berg is one of the Pastors at GraceLife Church in Avon, NY. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gracelifeavon.com

In 1967, multiple drivers—and even police—reported a bizarre “spaceman” along Route 44 in Avon, Connecticut. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger chase down the legend of the Talcott Mountain Robot, where eyewitness accounts blur the line between hoax, encounter, and something far harder to explain.

Send a textIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Elana Drell Szyfer, president of Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) and one of the most influential leaders in the global beauty industry. With more than three decades of experience spanning companies like Chanel, L'Oréal, Avon, Estée Lauder, and RéVive, Elana offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how careers in beauty evolve—and what it takes to navigate an industry that constantly reinvents itself.Elana's path into beauty was anything but conventional. Originally a history major who imagined a future in nonprofit arts philanthropy, her first role at the Juilliard School focused on connecting donors with scholarship recipients. A shift toward business studies eventually led her into the beauty world through a position at Chanel's family office. Determined to move closer to the operating side of the industry, she studied trade publications, reached out to industry leaders directly, and ultimately landed at L'Oréal—where her career in beauty truly began.Over the next two decades, Elana built a foundation in marketing leadership across some of the industry's largest brands. Later, she transitioned into the entrepreneurial side of beauty, leading privately backed companies and guiding brands through transformation, acquisition, and growth—including her tenure as CEO of RéVive. Along the way, she witnessed firsthand how dramatically the beauty landscape has evolved, from traditional advertising and retail counters to today's fragmented world of social media, influencer discovery, and science-driven storytelling.As she steps into her new role at CEW, Elana reflects on leadership, the future of marketing, and the growing need for clarity around industry buzzwords like biotech and longevity.Listen to the full episode to hear Elana Drell Szyfer share lessons from her career and her vision for the future of the beauty industry.Learn more about CEWDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
