On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Nicole Huyer, The Heritage Foundation's Senior Research Associate for Economic Policy. The two break down the radical policy agenda being floated by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and why it should concern Americans far beyond The Big Apple.Huyer explains why Mamdani's proposal for government-run grocery stores mirrors failed experiments in places like Erie, Kansas and Baldwin, Florida, leading not to affordability, but shortages, inefficiencies, and higher costs for taxpayers. She also unpacks the potential fallout of his proposed corporate tax hike to 11.5% and a new 2% penalty tax on high earners — policies that could accelerate the flight of businesses and capital out of the city.You can follow this podcast, Amanda Head, and Nicole Huyer on X by searching for the respective handles: @FurthermorePod, @AmandaHead, @NicoleHuyer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stacey told police that her ex-boyfriend, Scott Baldwin, killed Earl O-Byrne, but they didn't believe her. So why, 12-years later, did the Kalamazoo Cold Case Team decide she was telling the truth? What will she say 25 years later when the PROOF team talks to her? The team also looks at another Kalamazoo cold case with similarities to Baldwin's: the 1991 murder of 27-year-old Christine Dimmick.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Ron Butler who has narrated hundreds of audiobooks including the current bestseller Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs, which is about the life and loves of the iconic queer writer James Baldwin. Ron talks about how the project came to him, how he approached doing Baldwin's voice and getting so emotional at the end of the process that he cried. He also talks about how the business of audiobook narrating works, from how he gets paid to the prep work that happens before to the sexy little home booth he bought for himself right before the pandemic. Other topics include: the Heated Rivalry-esque gay romances he's narrated Illegal Contact (football studs) and Dirty Steal (baseball studs), making the move to Palm Springs, growing up in the Bahamas as the son of Bahamanian musician and club owner Ron Butler Sr, leaving his post-college corporate job to pursue acting, playing a breakdancing Barack Obama on Jimmy Kimmel in 2007 and the queer coming of age book that brought him to tears in the recording booth.  https://www.ronniebutler.com/

In some ways, the characters in this book were my first lovers.Today we meet Michael Horvich and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin.Michael is a retired Elementary School Educator and University Instructor.

His advocacy work has led to presentations at numerous organizations including at the Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Business, 33rd Annual Alzheimer's Disease International Convention, and the Chicago LGBTQ Center on Halsted. He also gave the opening key note at the 2019 Mayo Clinic / Minnesota-North Dakota Alzheimer's Association Conference. Michael was featured in ALAN TELLER's “STILL AT IT!"ART SHOW.James Baldwin was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time were bestsellers that made him an influential figure in the growing civil rights movement. Baldwin spent much of his life in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States.

I'm excited to share this special conference conversation with Kin Shriner, best known to daytime audiences as Scotty Baldwin on General Hospital and Port Charles.Recorded at the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference, Kin was candid, funny, and generous as he reflected on his decades in daytime television, the evolution of the genre, and the enduring connection between soap operas and their fans. From the early years of Scotty Baldwin to broader conversations about soap history, fandom, and longevity, this panel captured both the humor and the heart of daytime drama.It's a pleasure to share this conversation here in The Locher Room — one that honors the legacy of soaps through the perspective of someone who helped shape them.

SEASON 8: The First CrusadeEPISODE 202: Routes & RupturesSteel meets panic at Dorylaeum in 1097, where the Crusade nearly collapses before clawing its way back from annihilation. From that chaos, Tancred and Baldwin peel off and barrel into Cilicia, turning the march southeast into a ruthless side-quest of ambition, betrayal, and opportunistic warfare. This episode follows the moment the holy army stops pretending it's unified and starts revealing the knives behind the vows.No More Paywalls!

Most people think development is only for the big dogs with deep pockets. It is not. In this episode, we sit down with Dustin Baldwin to break down the Build to Rent blueprint and how everyday investors can manufacture equity instead of waiting for appreciation. Dustin walks through his development take on the BRRRR method (build, rent, refinance, repeat) and explains how he takes a simple infill lot and turns it into a cash flowing asset that can pay you back and keep paying you. We talk through how the numbers actually work, why new construction can be a smarter rental play in today's market, and how building the asset from the ground up changes your risk, your insurance, and your long term upside. We also get into how Dustin thinks about exit options, why having multiple ways to win matters, and what has changed in this market now that land prices and rates are higher. If you have ever wanted to scale rentals but felt boxed in by tight deals, high maintenance, or thin margins, this conversation will show you a different path.This is the episode for anyone who wants to stop hunting for perfect deals and start building their own.

For our first episode of 2026, we sit down with Kyle Hagler and Emil Wilbekin for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation at the intersection of Native Son, culture, and media. We begin with formative histories shaped by strong women, faith, and instinct, before tracing how both have navigated long careers defined by pivots, visibility, and cultural responsibility. From Emil's journey through magazine leadership to founding Native Son, to Kyle's perspective on power, representation, and stewardship within fashion, the conversation explores what it means to build influence without losing yourself. Together, they reflect on community beyond branding, legacy without chasing legacy, and why staying contemporary today requires clarity, courage, and a willingness to exist fully in complexity. “A lot of my success came from haphazard decision-making based on instinct, not some grand plan. I followed the moment and figured it out later.” - Kyle Hagler “Native Son was never about nightlife or crisis. It was about creating space where we could see ourselves reflected with dignity.” - Emil Wilbekin Episode Highlights: Beginnings that explain everythingEmil reflects on being adopted at birth and raised by radically cultured, spiritually grounded Black parents, while Kyle traces the imprint of a brilliant young mother who negotiated her way through systems not built for her and brought him along for the ride. Strong women as original architectureNot a theme, a fact. Both credit women with shaping their confidence, ethics, ambition, and emotional literacy long before any career took form. The professional pivot, demystifiedReinvention is not indulgence, it is survival. Emil maps his evolution across media, teaching, faith, and founding Native Son. Kyle frames adaptability as the only real form of security. Safety, redefinedKyle's assertion lands quietly but firmly: safety does not live in institutions or titles, it lives in your ability to navigate turbulence and keep moving. Spirituality as infrastructure, not ornamentEmil speaks to prayer and meditation as daily practice and social responsibility. Kyle shares a later awakening forged through loss, illness, and uncertainty, arriving at calm through surrender. A very New York origin storyThe Octagon in the 90s, Helmut Lang uniforms, early shade, and worlds colliding. Friendship eventually sealed not by proximity, but by shared obsession, precision, and care. Doing the work before knowing the impactEmil reflects on Vibe as cultural moment-making understood only in hindsight. Kyle recalls realizing his influence only once others named it, while he was simply doing the job. The birth of Native SonAn India retreat, a voice, Baldwin on a bookshelf. A mission emerges to create space for Black gay, queer, and gender nonconforming lives beyond nightlife, crisis, or erasure. Progress and backlash, side by sideVisibility expands while political resistance hardens. Both argue that representation without ownership is fragile, and that DEI without equity is noise. What feels contemporary now Fearless self-definition. Living in nuance. Building community that can hold contradiction, accountability, and becoming, without waiting for permission.

Alex Forsyth presents political debate from Areley Kings Village Hall, Worcestershire.

Have you ever considered yourself a mystic?  What exactly is a mystic?  What is mysticism?  How does it apply to me?  The mystic, St. John of the Cross, dives into what the “Dark Night of the Soul” entails.  In general, many people just think it refers to hard times.  In this presentation, Deacon Baldwin clarifies that the “Dark Night” is by first giving us examples of what it is NOT! He follows by expounding upon the true meaning of the “Dark Night of the Soul” and the call to a deeper intimacy and love of our Lord.  

Send us a textAccountability costs more than a press conference, and that's exactly why our politics keeps choosing words over work. We open with the Caribbean boat strikes and map the legal gray zone where overlapping agencies, temporary guidance, and classified memos substitute for clear law. When Congress refuses to define roles and rules of engagement, the executive fills the vacuum, and the public gets euphemisms instead of answers. Action would assign ownership; chatter only spreads the blame.From there, we unpack Amnesty International's harrowing report on detention sites branded with cutesy nicknames that dull the edge of cruelty. Rationed water, perpetual lighting, invasive cameras, solitary confinement, and a two-foot outdoor “box” paint a picture of punishment—not processing. This is how authoritarian systems grow: through emergency measures, no-bid contracts, and a culture that treats rights as perimeter-sensitive. If we normalize this for the powerless, it will not stay at the margins.We then draw a line to the business of conspiracy. Doubt has become identity, fear a product, and insinuation a growth hack. Whether it's panic at scale, tragedy sold as authenticity, or plausible deniability framed as curiosity, the market for suspicion thrives when institutions speak morally but act selectively. People notice when leaders find money for munitions but not insulin, when civilian deaths are “regrettable” abroad and oversight is optional at home. Consistency is the currency of credibility—and we're running a deficit.To anchor the stakes, we revisit James Baldwin's clash with Paul Weiss, where history, power, and personal agency collide. Institutions are evidence, Baldwin reminds us; ideals mean little without structures that honor them. Our case is simple: define maritime authorities in law, end euphemisms that hide state violence, restore constitutional standards in detention, and hold media voices to the risks of being wrong. Coherence, transparency, and courage won't fix everything, but they will close the gap that cynicism floods.If this resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with the one reform you think would build the most trust.

The Author Events Series presents Nicholas Boggs | Baldwin: A Love Story In Conversation with Rachel L. Swarns Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic- and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence. Nicholas Boggs was an undergraduate when he discovered James Baldwin's out-of-print children's book, Little Man, Little Man: A Story of Childhood, in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. After he tracked down its illustrator, the French artist Yoran Cazac, he went on to coedit an acclaimed new edition of the book in 2018. His writing has also been anthologized in The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin, James Baldwin Now, and Speculative Light: The Arts of Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin. He is the recipient of a 2023 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Beinecke Library and Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale, the Schomburg Center Scholars-in-Residence Program, and the National Humanities Center, as well as residencies at Yaddo and MacDowell. He received his BA in English from Yale, his MFA in creative writing from American University, and his PhD in English from Columbia. Born and raised in Washington, DC, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel L. Swarns is a journalist, author and associate professor of journalism at New York University, who writes about race and history as a contributing writer for The New York Times. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Society of American Historians and her work has been recognized and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Biographers International Organization and others. Her latest book, The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church, was published by Random House.

RiskCellar is back with episode 70, marking a major milestone for hosts Brandon Schuh and Nick Hartmann as they dive into the most pressing insurance broker consolidation trends shaping 2025. The episode kicks off with major industry news on the Baldwin and CAC merger, a billion-dollar deal that reflects ongoing consolidation in the insurance brokerage space. While the acquisition comes in smaller than recent mega-deals, the merger creates what Baldwin calls the largest majority colleague-owned publicly traded insurance broker, signaling continued market consolidation and M&A activity that benefits independent brokers.The hosts explore critical developments in insurance technology and autonomous vehicle safety, including Tesla's recent sensor and camera upgrades designed to improve their self-driving system performance in challenging conditions. The conversation reveals how insurance industry players are monitoring autonomous vehicle advancements, telematics driver monitoring programs, and commercial auto liability trends, including the growing use of cameras and driver scoring to reduce claims. They also discuss the implications of unlimited liability insurance in the UK market and significant pricing differences in Canadian insurance, where casualty risk pricing can be 40% lower than US market rates.A major highlight involves the Rad Power bike battery recall and CPSC safety concerns, where the federal agency issued a unilateral opinion declaring all RAD batteries defective without conducting independent testing. The hosts debate the fairness of this regulatory action, noting that Rad Power faces potential bankruptcy from a million-unit recall despite only 31 documented incidents causing $750,000 in cumulative damage. The episode also covers Lloyd's of London CEO John Neal's resignation following an inappropriate workplace relationship scandal, insurance industry news on Ryan Specialty's new public sector MGU launch, Howden's aggressive hiring expansion, and a playful segment on insurance truths and lies featuring alien abduction coverage.Tesla's autonomous vehicle technology still lacks adequate camera systems compared to competitors like Waymo, delaying full self-driving capabilityTelematics and driver monitoring are becoming essential risk management tools for commercial auto liability, despite employee privacy concernsCPSC regulatory actions can devastate companies without scientific testing, raising questions about fairness and due process in product safety decisionsInternational insurance markets show dramatic pricing variations, with Canadian and UK markets offering 02:00 Thanksgiving Turkey Cooking Methods & Holiday Stories 03:30 Episode Celebration & Drinking Toast 04:35 Baldwin & CAC Merger: $1B Insurance Broker Consolidation 09:25 Ryan Specialty's Public Sector MGU Launch10:00 Public Sector Insurance Competition & School Bidding Challenges 11:15 Canadian Insurance Market & International Pricing Differences 14:15 Tesla Autonomous Vehicle Camera Upgrade Challenges 16:00 Chevrolet Diesel Truck & Frank Cruz Shout Out 16:30 Howden Hiring Expansion & Legal Costs Impact 8:50 John Neal Lloyd's CEO Scandal & AIG Withdrawal 21:40 New Zealand Kiwi Cultural Reference & Gender Diversity in Insurance 23:25 Rad Power Battery Recall & CPSC Regulatory Overreach 26:00 Battery Incident Statistics & Scientific Method Concerns 28:15 Dog Interruption & Personal Stories29:10 Don Julio Tequila & Podcast Memorabilia 31:30 Alien Abduction Coverage Predictions for 2026 32:50 Recall of the Week: Ozark Trail Camping Stove 35:25 Upcoming Guests & Litigation Funding Panel Discussion Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin. That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers. The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face.

Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin.That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers.The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face. Now McLeland will weigh in on the whole situation.

Nicholas Boggs's “Baldwin: A Love Story,” is many things at once. It's a comprehensive biography of James Baldwin. It's a nimble excavation of Baldwin's work, filled with astute literary analysis of his books and prose. And, most pressingly, it's an argument for a new critical framework to understand Baldwin through the lens of love. The biography is structured around Baldwin's relationships with a series of men — relationships that, as Boggs outlines, shaped Baldwin's life and writing in crucial ways. Boggs joins MJ Franklin on this week's episode to talk about his new book.Other works mentioned in this discussion:Zadie Smith's essay “Conscience and Consciousness: A Craft Talk for the People and the Person,” from her new collection “Dead and Alive”“James Baldwin: A Biography,” by David Leeming“Little Man, Little Man: A Story of Childhood,” by James Baldwin, illustrated by Yoran Cazac, edited by Nicholas Boggs and Jennifer DeVere Brody“Goodbye Days,” by Jeff Zentner“Virginia Woolf,” by Hermione Lee Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
