The headlines say the tariff war is still raging. According to Richard Baldwin, Washington has spent the past year quietly backing away from it, one exemption and carve-out at a time. In episode 93, Robert Skidmore and I look at what that retreat means for a global trading system that increasingly seems to be organising itself around the US rather than through it. Then we sit down with Charles-Henry Monchau, Chief Investment Officer at Bank Syz, to ask how investors should think about geopolitics, industrial policy and capital flows in what he calls the era of "slowbalization." Trade policy, energy security and investment strategy are no longer separate conversations. Canada and the EU are building a deeper partnership, Germany is weighing a tougher economic-security approach to China, and an energy squeeze is heading into winter that looks a lot like 2022. Meanwhile, our guest points out that global equities were hitting record highs despite all the scary headlines. The awkward question for anyone with a portfolio, a supply chain or a heating bill is how those pieces fit together. What Went Wrong This Week The quiet tariff retreat. Baldwin argues the effective US tariff rate rose from about 2% to a peak of around 11% in October 2025, then fell to roughly 6.7% by May 2026, largely through exemptions and lower applied rates rather than public reversals. His read: the rest of the world is adapting around the US in what he calls an "N minus one" trading system. Canada and the EU move closer. A deeper strategic partnership, Mark Carney's call for a closer alliance of like-minded democracies, CETA's provisional application, and why supply chains and critical minerals are part of the story. Germany's China rethink. Bloomberg reports Berlin is preparing a tougher economic-security approach: tariffs on certain Chinese plug-in hybrids, investment screening, export controls, EU procurement preferences, local content requirements, and possibly joint-venture rules for Chinese firms in Europe. We look at "China shock 2.0," the rare earths choke point, and the price gap between a Renault EV and a BYD or Xpeng. The energy squeeze. Hormuz, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refining, record US diesel prices and the on-again, off-again talk of a US export ban, record-low EU gas storage for this time of year, and a fertilizer squeeze that could outlast the Hormuz closure itself (Peter Goodman flagged that one). The lesson: depending on US energy is now a risk you have to hedge. Our guest: Charles-Henry Monchau Charles-Henry Monchau is Chief Investment Officer and ExCo member at Bank Syz. Before that, he was CIO of Dubai Investments and head of asset allocation for EMEA at Deutsche Bank, with senior roles across Geneva, Zurich, Dubai, Nassau and Paris. He holds an executive MBA from IE Business School and an MSc in finance from HEC, is a CFA, CMT, CAIA and CIIA charterholder, and is a top voice on LinkedIn with more than 280,000 followers. In our conversation, we cover: What a CIO actually does (the answer involves an orchestra conductor and the auto industry). Why contrarian investing is easy to explain and very hard to do: the moment to take some profits is when everything looks perfect, and the hardest moment to buy risk is when it feels like the end of the world. From globalisation to "slowbalization": US-China geo-economics, sovereignty, why chips are now made at home rather than by the lowest-cost producer, and the three strategic priorities he sees: AI and robotics, defence, and electric power. Why global equities keep hitting all-time highs despite the headlines, from a record DAX with only two tech stocks to a rally broadening across Europe and emerging markets, and why he calls it "the most hated global equity bull market." Why geopolitics and geoeconomics are here to stay, as both an opportunity and a risk for investors. Why he sees the bond market as the ultimate judge of US policy, from Liberation Day to the "TACO" trade. Expat corner: what living abroad taught him about Switzerland, including direct democracy, a constitutional debt brake and a strong franc that pushes companies up the value chain. On a scale of zero to SpaceX, how worried should we be about a bubble? His answer: SpaceX is like an option. You can find Syz's investment insights on the Syz Group website and LinkedIn page. Plus: why 93 is a surprisingly good number for a trade podcast (neptunium, the end of the GATT Uruguay Round on 15 December 1993, chapter 93 of the Harmonized System, and CERN putting the World Wide Web software into the public domain), Gen Z's "Get Off My Lawn" segment, hobby-maxing as a recession indicator, AI-generated sloths on Vespas, and the return of the river otter to Geneva.

On the evening of August 30, 2001, 44-year-old Edgar Sanchez drove to the Baldwin, New York, home of his older brother, 53-year-old Frank Sanchez. Edgar left his car there, and the brothers headed out together in Frank's white Chevrolet Lumina. They were believed to be meeting someone they had known for years.The brothers were close, and cars had always been a major part of both of their lives. Frank was a mechanic and accomplished racer, while Edgar had also built a career around cars. There was nothing unusual about them spending time together, but Frank seemed different that night. He was unusually quiet, and when he left the house, he did something his family immediately noticed: he didn't kiss his wife goodbye. Frank and Edgar never came home.By the following day, Frank's Lumina was parked on Grand Street in Chinatown, more than an hour away from where the brothers were believed to have been headed, and in the opposite direction. The car began accumulating parking tickets, but it would take time before anyone connected it to the missing brothers from Long Island.Then, just twelve days after Frank and Edgar disappeared, September 11 changed everything. As law enforcement resources across the region were redirected, the Sanchez family was already searching for answers of their own. Over time, they learned more about what may have been troubling Frank that night, a large amount of money the brothers may have been trying to retrieve, and parts of Frank and Edgar's past that raised an entirely different set of questions.Twenty-five years later, Frank and Edgar Sanchez have never been found. Their family is still trying to understand where they went that night, how Frank's car ended up in Chinatown, and what happened after the brothers drove away from Frank's home.If you have any information about the disappearance of Frank and Edgar Sanchez, please contact the Nassau County Police Department Missing Persons Squad at 516-573-7347.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this two-part series, we analyze Michael Bay's 2001 box office smash, Pearl Harbor. Normie C points out historical inaccuracies. Kristin points out cringey dialogue. Above all, we ask ourselves the *important* questions. Questions like: Is Pearl Harbor just Titanic for boys? And, if this film had a $140 million budget, why does Jon Voight's butt-chin prosthetic look so much like Silly Puddy? Finally, isn't it cute that we made fun of this movie for being too long, but we couldn't fit our own analysis into one episode?? Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week on the show, guitarist and psychotherapist Matt Baldwin, who is here to teach you How To Play Guitar.  OK, not exactly. But Baldwin is the author of How To Play Guitar, a series of zines that have been collected into a handsome book edition. If you're just picking up the instrument, well, Baldwin isn't writing about how to play a C chord or run scales.  These aren't “how to” guides so much as “why to” prompts, stressing intuition over technique, dismissal of music industry norms, and the imperative to hone a singular, personal philosophy regarding the instrument—think Captain Beefheart's “Ten Commandments of Playing Guitar.”  Baldwin is just as likely to devote page space to warning about being on time to the gig, stressing moral and internal rectitude, and the exposing dangers of social media as he is to dispense tips like “stop using a flat pick” and “play banjo for a while”—both solid tactical suggestions he espouses. When he's not writing or exploring ketamine therapies, Baldwin makes music himself. His latest LP is called Welcome to Your Pool, a wonderfully languid set of instrumentals housed in a fully 3D lenticular cover sleeve—it's a wonder to listen to, but also just a wonder to see. On October 3rd, Baldwin will perform at one of my favorite Los Angeles places, the Philosophical Research Society, with fellow traveler Imaad Wasif. In this talk, we discuss his own guitar journey, the paranormal, John Fahey, Philip K Dick, and much more.

This is Episode 2 of a special six-part Jane Austen series, sponsored throughout by Strictly Jane Austen. Today's episode has duels fought over a runaway marriage. It has a scandal so severe it drove one of England's richest men into exile. It has the truth about what those elegant public baths were actually like to get into — considerably less charming than the paintings suggest. It has quack doctors selling electricity as medicine, and a notorious celestial bed that promised to cure infertility for fifty pounds a night. It has vanished pleasure gardens, a vulgar villa, a ferry ride that went badly wrong, and two of the great women of English letters falling out spectacularly over their choice of husbands. Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr. Moira Rudolf, historian of Georgian and Regency Bath, for a tour of the city's darker corners — and Jane Austen, as Moira points out, pops up in nearly all of them. Along the way: Richard Brinsley Sheridan's two duels over the honor of Elizabeth Linley, the celebrated "Maid of Bath"; William Beckford, his scandal, his exile, his 276-foot tower with no foundations, and the Bath retreat Moira describes as the most haunted building she has ever stayed in; what Jane's brother Edward actually endured in the name of taking the waters; Tobias Smollett's stomach-turning account of the King's Bath; where Mary Shelley really wrote Frankenstein; and Fanny Burney's gloriously catty account of an evening at Bathwick Villa, complete with a mechanical eagle.

https://teachhoops.com/ Tryout season is here, and Coach Collins frames the stakes right away: the two most important days for a high school coach are the day you pick your staff and the day you pick your team. At the youth level, the day you pick your team is just as big. Tryouts matter. Youth basketball has several flavors and you do not always get to choose. Sometimes you are assigned players by area. Sometimes it is a snake draft. Sometimes it is a club tryout where you evaluate and then pick. And sometimes you are the one running the tryout, sometimes you are only evaluating, and sometimes you are stuck doing both. Coach Collins has done all three and says the variables change your approach every time. There are also league quirks worth knowing. In Little League, Coach Collins' son Drew was slotted at a certain round and Coach Collins forfeited that round's pick to keep him. His own father worked the same system a generation earlier, drafting the other best player in each of his sons' classes as an assistant coach, and won the city three or four years running. Coach Bill had a similar situation with a set of very good twins that cost him two picks. Will the kid actually show up? This is Coach Bill's first filter, and he has been burned. He once used a first round pick on a soccer player who was the best athlete on the floor and made maybe one game all season. Lose that pick and your number one is effectively the tenth best player. He now asks parents directly what other sports the kid is playing in season, and which one is the priority. Some boards he has served on added it to the registration questions. Coach Collins adds the nuance: showing up because a parent is busy is a different problem than showing up because soccer is at the same time. And there is more variability with younger kids. A nine year old might want to be at basketball practice, but if the parents already committed to soccer, that kid is going to soccer. By seventeen, the player gets more say. Effort, focus, and attention to detail. Coach Collins tells the Drake Baldwin story. Baldwin, now the starting catcher for the Braves, did not have a great tryout at nine years old and slid to the second or third round. Coach Collins picked him because he saw love for the game and effort where other coaches saw the miss. He was Baldwin's first Little League coach, and Baldwin's mom still has that first over the fence home run ball. The point: effort is hard to define but you know it when you see it, and it looks different in a seven year old than a thirteen year old. As Coach Collins puts it, Caitlin Clark was probably pretty focused at four. Personalities do not change that much. The parent factor. Coach Bill is blunt that plenty of coaches draft for the parents. If you know a parent is going to be difficult all season, that is a real consideration when you are volunteering your time. It has nothing to do with the kid, and it is still a factor. Fit with your style. Go in knowing what you value. If you love ball handlers, look for ball handlers. If you are defensive minded, find kids who play that way. The free rubric on the site lets you check boxes and weight what matters most to you, which keeps you organized instead of reacting to whoever scored last. Keep everybody moving. Same rule as practice. In a ninety minute to two hour window, there should always be something happening. Chunk the group. Coach Bill sometimes has a couple hundred kids in one gym. Start everyone together, then split into rough A, B, and C groups so kids are competing against similar ability. Then move kids between courts to test them: try this one up on court one and see how it looks. A little gamesmanship. Coach Collins will sometimes put the obvious top one or two players down on the B or C floor, because he already knows they are on the team and he needs his eyes on the ten kids he is unsure about. He never does it to a single kid, always three or four, so nobody reads too much into it. Coach Bill's warning: watch the parents' reaction. Numbers and pins. Number every kid on the way in. Use running bibs or pinned numbers like a cross country meet, and be warned, getting them pinned on and keeping them on is one of the hardest logistical parts of the day. Run two sets of numbers so one group is getting pinned while the group on the floor is already running. And make absolutely sure the roster matches the numbers, so number ten on the floor is the kid every coach thinks it is. Mix ups happen. Get volunteers. The more helping hands on the logistics, the better the whole day goes. Bring in independent evaluators. This is the piece both coaches feel strongest about. Use someone with no kid in that grade: a parent from an older grade, a high school player, anyone with experience and no stake. Their job is to rank the players one through X, and their ranking is the final word. Coaches do their own ranking alongside, which gives them their draft board, but the independent evaluator settles the disputes and decides who lands on the A team versus the B team. Coach Bill's program used that split for their American and National teams. Coach Collins' feeder program did the same thing for one reason: take the parents out of it. Better for everybody. Watch, do not run, if you can. If you get to pick your team, hand the whistle to someone else. Coach Collins compares running a tryout while evaluating to teaching a class and grading the test at the same time. You cannot do both well. Plan for the kids who cannot make it.

Razz James should have been the toast of Manhattan society. At 28, with an Ivy League pedigree, a prominent family name, and inherent charm, he was poised for flight. But 6 years after his twin brother's death, Razz is trapped in a black hole of grief. His days are a blur of gin, video games, and denial, while his 2 lifelong best friends, Hatcher Boudreaux, a shining star at an elite hedge fund, and Archie Stonebridge, a cybersecurity expert, quietly brace for the moment Razz doesn't come back from the brink. Then, Hatcher receives a cryptic invitation…an offer to join Scepter & Scythe, an exclusive secret society. The initiation challenge is a task so daring few would ever attempt it: steal a memento from Apollo Peck, Hatcher's infamous billionaire boss. Peck's residence, a fantastical mansion perched atop New York City's poshest building, is impenetrable. Fearful of losing his job, Hatcher refuses the assignment, but Razz, intrigued and desperate for a distraction, volunteers. Razz thinks he's executed the perfect crime...then someone turns up dead. What started as a lark quickly spirals into a far more devious and deadly plot with Razz in the crosshairs. In a world where power buys innocence, and the truth is subjective, Razz must unmask the mastermind before he becomes the next pawn sacrificed on the board.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This summer, I was feeling a little down on my time in Los Angeles. I must admit, it comes in waves; some days I love this city and some days I'm wondering how I, one, all, could tolerate a 2-hour, 14 mile commute on a Monday. There are moments where I feel like I wouldn't want to be anywhere on Earth, though. A sunset at the Hollywood Bowl, a morning walk along the ocean, a taco on the side of the road. And, of course, there are the museums, and damn, did the city get two good ones this year: the new Geffen Galleries at LACMA and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. So I love this city again, right now. So when looking at this evolving place, I wanted to talk to author Rosecrans Baldwin about his book, Everything Now: Lessons From the City-State of Los Angeles. With these new institutions, and his deep-dive into the history, neighborhoods and people that make this city such an expansive and confusing narrative, he felt like someone who might have some insight into what I was seeing and feeling. The stories that Baldwin tells are not so much why LA is what it is, but the stories of people who are aren't so much trying to make sense of it, but survive it. I also wanted to share my thoughts on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and what I think the critics get wrong and, to be honest, what is the critics role in deciphering the art that was mostly trying to avoid the critics for so long...

fWotD Episode 3419: Melisende of Jerusalem Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 14 September 2026, is Melisende of Jerusalem.Melisende (c. 1109 – 11 September 1161) was the queen of Jerusalem from 1131 to 1152. She was the first female ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the first woman to hold a public office in the crusader kingdom. Her fame grew in her lifetime for her generous support of the various Christian communities in her kingdom. Contemporary chronicler William of Tyre praised her wisdom and abilities, while modern historians differ in their assessment.Melisende was of mixed Frankish–Armenian heritage, the eldest daughter of King Baldwin II and Queen Morphia. In the late 1120s, when it became clear that her father was unlikely to have a son, she was declared heir presumptive to the throne and married Fulk of Anjou. Baldwin II died in 1131, having conferred the kingdom on Melisende, Fulk, and their son Baldwin III. Melisende and Fulk were crowned shortly after.Early in their joint reign, King Fulk attempted to rule without Queen Melisende. Barons led by Melisende's kinsman Count Hugh II of Jaffa revolted in 1134 and, although Hugh was defeated and exiled, Melisende grew powerful and terrorized the king and his supporters until he agreed to accord a share of the government to her. Once reconciled, they had another son, Amalric, and Fulk no longer made any decision in the kingdom without Melisende's assent. During their joint rule, Melisende managed Church relations and patronage. The couple eschewed wars of conquest and instead focused on strengthening the kingdom's defenses. After Fulk died in 1143, Melisende assumed full power and was crowned together with their elder son, Baldwin III. Baldwin reached the age of majority in 1145, but Melisende refused to cede any authority to him. After the fall of Edessa in 1144, Melisende urged a military intervention from Europe, which led to the Second Crusade.Melisende's relationship with Baldwin III collapsed in 1150 as she further reduced his role in state affairs. In 1152, the High Court divided the kingdom between mother and son. Within weeks, however, Baldwin invaded Melisende's portion and besieged her in the Tower of David. Melisende agreed to step down and retire to Nablus. She continued to involve herself in the affairs of her family, who also ruled the crusader states of Antioch and Tripoli. Although her influence in Jerusalem became limited, she counseled Baldwin and took a successful military initiative in his absence. Her patronage and involvement in ecclesiastical matters also continued. She died in 1161 after becoming incapacitated by an illness, possibly a stroke.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:22 UTC on Monday, 14 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Melisende of Jerusalem on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

Farms encourage striking up relationships with your local farms and the goods they can provide you with. Unfortunately, once those relationships are cemented, getting the finished products to customers can become the battle. Kiley Allan finds out about it firsthand from Haly Schultz, farmer at Marth Homestead Farm & Beef Store. She says roughly 36% of Wisconsin counties (26 out of 72) lack inspected red meat slaughter facilities, creating processing "deserts" that force farmers like Hallie Schultz to drive hours round-trip to process their livestock. Older mom-and-pop processing facilities closed due to retirement and high upgrade costs, and while post-COVID funding briefly helped new processors open, several have since shut down or shifted away from local slaughter to wholesale and retail sales. She explains the demand for state- or federally-inspected mobile slaughter units, which would allow farmers to handle cattle on-site, reduce animal stress, eliminate transportation logistics, and keep local processing options accessible. Local meat markets face persistent hurdles including a shortage of skilled, detail-oriented butchers, strict inspection standards, and a need for improved consumer education regarding regional meat production. Another picture perfect day in Wisconsin weather on the way. Stu Muck says we'll stay pretty dry today and tomorrow with only slight chances of showers. Temperatures will stay in comfortable upper 70's for the rest of the week.It will be "back to work" for representatives and senators beginning next week. That includes U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin. She's got a full agenda she'd like to see discussed, as she shared with Teri Barr. The two caught up recently at the Crave Brothers Farmstead in Waterloo during celebration of new Burrata cheese for the holidays. The Crave Brothers increase in new cheese production is supported through a grant from the Dairy Business Innovation Initiative program, Baldwin supported the creation of the program. She wants more funding to continue support. The program is currently out of money.Although there was celebrating at Crave's event, Baldwin says she's concerned about the future for other farmers. The senator explains her priorities as she goes back to the nation's capitol - including the Farm Bill and beef imports.International negotiations have been part of daily headlines for months. That means they sometimes become a dull noise in the background. Matt Tranel, dairy analyst with EverAg says that Wisconsin dairy operators and dairy processors need to stay vigilant on monitoring those discussions. Tranel says in July, for example, Mexico purchased 35% of all U.S. cheese exported. That's a big number! It's more than South Korea, Japan and Australian sales put together for the same time period. Tranel says keeping that relationship healthy is a major directive from the nations dairy operators.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Indiana football's defensive secondary may be the biggest question mark on the roster — but it also has enough talent to become another major strength for Bryant Haines' defense. In this CrimsonCast positional preview, Galen Clavio breaks down the Hoosiers' cornerbacks, safeties, rover options, transfer additions, and young depth heading into the 2026 season.The episode starts with what Indiana lost. D'Angelo Ponds was one of the defining players of IU's national title run, locking down one side of the field, allowing just one touchdown across his two Indiana seasons, and stacking up postseason honors after huge performances in the Rose Bowl and Peach Bowl. The Hoosiers also have to replace Louis Moore, who turned in a spectacular final season with six interceptions, and Devan Boykin, whose versatility at rover gave Indiana tackles, pass breakups, turnovers, and a defensive touchdown.From there, Galen looks at how IU tries to rebuild the back end. Jamari Sharpe appears ready to step into the top cornerback role after a strong 2025 season capped by the interception that sealed the national championship game. Opposite him, Ryland Gandy and A.J. Harris are the key names to watch, with Gandy bringing experience in Indiana's system and Harris bringing high-end talent, Big Ten experience, and a skill set that may fit better in IU's zone-heavy structure than it did in Penn State's man-heavy defense last year.The safety and rover discussion centers on Amare Ferrell, Preston Zachman, Byron Baldwin Jr., and Quan Sanks. Ferrell returns after a second-team All-Big Ten season and now has a chance to raise his NFL Draft stock while leading a reshaped secondary. Zachman brings veteran experience from Wisconsin if he can stay healthy. Baldwin looks like the likely next answer at rover after flashing late last season, while Sanks gives Indiana another physical transfer option after two seasons at Cincinnati.The biggest theme is development. Indiana's secondary had early busts last year before growing into a championship-level unit by the end of the season, and Galen argues that this year's group may need a similar ramp-up period. With North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky before Big Ten play, the Hoosiers have time to build chemistry — but by the time Ohio State arrives, this secondary will need to be much closer to finished.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, Bryant Haines, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and 2026 season previews.

In a world quick to prescribe electrical violence to the brain under the guise of “treatment,” it is a profound relief—and a moral imperative—to sit down with one of the clearest voices challenging this relic of psychiatric barbarism. On The Breggin Hour, my husband Peter Breggin and I spoke at length with Professor John Read, a clinical psychologist from the University of East London whose work has helped pierce the veil of denial surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Professor Read is no outsider throwing stones. He comes from the heart of the clinical psychology establishment, yet he has become one of its most formidable critics on ECT. His recent international survey—the largest ever, with 1,100 participants from 44 countries—gives voice to the lived reality of those who have endured this procedure. The findings are damning. What the Largest ECT Survivor Survey Reveals The research team, which included ECT survivors like our colleague Sarah Hancock, asked hard questions about efficacy, memory loss, and informed consent. The results: On five different measures of effectiveness, the “majority” of recipients reported “no improvement” or that their condition was “made worse”. Two-thirds experienced significant memory loss—both retrograde (losing past memories) and anterograde (inability to form new ones). For most, this persisted for at least three years, which in practical terms means it is often permanent. The vast majority were not adequately informed about these risks. Neither were their families. Women continue to receive ECT at twice the rate of men, with 82% of the psychiatrists administering it being male—an observation that raises uncomfortable questions about power, empathy, and whose distress we choose to “treat” with electricity. These are not abstract statistics. They represent shattered lives, erased memories, and families left picking up the pieces. As Peter has long documented, ECT is essentially a closed-head electrical lobotomy that exceeds OSHA safety thresholds for electrical brain injury. The brain is not “reset”—it is traumatized. Professor Read put it plainly: we are inducing grand mal seizures in people while another branch of medicine works desperately to prevent them. The original 1930s theory—that schizophrenia and epilepsy were mutually exclusive, so inducing seizures could cure the former—was bizarre even then. That we continue this practice ninety years later, with so little rigorous evidence, is a scandal. Legal Victories: Hitting Them Where It Hurts  Professor Read has served as an expert witness in key cases that are finally forcing accountability. In a 2023 Florida jury trial, manufacturer Somatics was found liable for failing to adequately warn about brain damage and permanent memory loss. A 2024 California case against individual psychiatrists and a psychiatric center—alleging negligence, fraud, malpractice, and battery—settled just before trial after surviving all dismissal attempts. MECTA, another major manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy amid mounting litigation and withdrawn its Spectrum device, only to introduce a near-identical “Sigma” model. The industry adapts, but the human cost remains. Peter shared his own observations from decades of work, including the first successful ECT malpractice case (Salters, 2005). He described the visible horror: patients emerging confused, amnesic, and disoriented—much like victims of repeated concussions. This is traumatic brain injury, period. The temporary “euphoria” some experience is often the brain's response to injury, not genuine healing. The Deeper Problem: Over-Medicalization of Human Suffering  John Read situates ECT within a larger tragedy—the reduction of complex human distress to a purely biological problem solvable by pills or electricity. Poverty, trauma, abuse, loneliness, and loss are pushed aside while white coats reach for the shock machine. Many psychiatrists, he notes, lack the skills or willingness to sit with profound emotional pain, especially in women and older patients. This resonates deeply with our work exposing psychiatric harm. Whether antidepressants, antipsychotics, or ECT, the pattern is the same: interventions that promise quick fixes but deliver dependency, disability, and despair. The public understands that life circumstances drive mental suffering. Too many professionals still do not.  A Call to Survivors, Families, and Truth-Seekers  If you or a loved one has been harmed by ECT, know that you are not alone. Professor Read's survey papers are open access—search “John Read ECT survey” to read them directly. Share your story. Support organizations fighting for informed consent and bans on this outdated practice. We must demand real informed consent, rigorous science, and an end to the normalization of brain damage as “therapy.” Peter and I continue this fight because human rights do not end at the psychiatrist's door. The brain is not a machine to be jolted into submission. Listen to the full conversation on The Breggin Hour (available on America Out Loud and major podcast platforms). Professor Read's humility, clarity, and dedication shine through. We are grateful for his partnership in this long struggle and look forward to future collaborations.

Send us Fan MailIn August 1874, Colonel Nelson Miles launched an expedition from Fort Dodge into the Texas Panhandle to force hostile tribes onto reservations during the Red River War. His force—comprising eight cavalry companies, four infantry companies, and 37 scouts, including notable figures Bat Masterson and Billy Dixon—moved south across the Arkansas River. An advance detachment led by Lieutenant Frank Baldwin split off to scout toward Adobe Walls, where the scouts quickly engaged in sharp skirmishes with Native warriors, drove off an attack on a party of buffalo hunters, and tracked hostile trails deeper into the Canadian River country.The campaign escalated on August 30 when Baldwin's scouts were ambushed by hundreds of warriors entrenched along steep bluffs. Miles soon brought up the main column, deploying Gatling guns, artillery, and coordinated cavalry charges led by officers like Captain Adna Chaffee and Captain Tullius Tupper to dislodge the warriors from the heights. After a grueling 20-mile pursuit across the arid Staked Plains in punishing heat, Miles bivouacked his exhausted troops to await supplies, leaving Captain Wyllys Lyman's supply train wagon guard surrounded by Comanche forces near the Washita River.Continue the journey of The German Sisters: A Story of Survival with exclusive bonus chapters, in-depth historical profiles, and special companion podcast transcripts.

In this episode Dr. Oord re-engages with Steve Watson's new book entitled All Flesh Shalom: Larger, Freer, More Loving Readings of the Good News of JesusFrom the book description:  So many of the forms of Christianity we have inherited have disappointed us. We've been offered a faith that seems to make people smaller, more rigid, and more violent. This is why James Baldwin once wrote, “If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.”In this groundbreaking work of constructive Christian theology, Steve Watson takes Baldwin's challenge seriously. He dissects some of white Western Christianity's most narrow and misguided readings of the life and teaching of Jesus. And in conversation with leading open and relational and postcolonial, liberation theologians, Steve explores ways we can engage major themes in the gospels in the service of a larger, freer, more loving faith.

This will come as a total surprise, but I really like James Baldwin. I know, it's shocking. I always kept it subtle, like how I named this podcast after his book The Fire Next Time, and how I have been bringing him up every other episode for years, and how I have a shelf that is just for books by him and about him. The reason I like James Baldwin is that I've found something for me in his work, something that I can not just relate to but also use to understand the wider world, including my own world. This is a curious thing in the context of Baldwin because he was, ultimately, an American writer. An African-American writer, to be exact of course, but his Americanness is something which he took to heart. Not in a weird nationalist way but rather in a sort of matter-of-factly kind of way. So how did I come to relate to him? That's one of the questions we explored here, but to be honest it's not even the main one. What I wanted to know, and what my guest John E. Drabinski has explored in his book So Unimaginable a Price: Baldwin and the Black Atlantic, is why did Baldwin, a man clearly concerned with the fate of the world, rarely engage with the Black Atlantic and might even be described as an ‘anti-diaspora' thinker, at least to some extent. This is a conversation about Baldwin, yes, but ultimately it is a conversation about shifting identities and perspectives in a rapidly changing world, one which seems to be changing even faster now than it did during Baldwin's time.John E. Drabinski is Professor in the Department of African American and Africana Studies, with a joint appointment in the Department of English. Along with Ashley Newby and Brie Gorrell, he co-hosts The Black Studies Podcast, which documents the history and future of the field of Black Studies from the perspective of students, professors, artists, and activists. He is both co-editor of Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy and co-editor of the book series Global Black Critical Thought on Cambridge University Press.Mentioned:James Baldwin ReviewBlack Cultural Archives, BrixtonBeing Black and British with David OlusogaThis episode was first released for Patreon supporters on 14 August 2026 and made public on 24 August 2026.------If you'd like to support The Fire These Times, the best way to do it is through⁠ ⁠⁠Patreon.com/thefirethesetimes⁠.

Good companies don't automatically get noticed. And doing good work isn't enough to ensure that customers, investors, journalists, communities, or increasingly AI systems understand why your company matters.Melissa Baldwin has spent more than 20 years exclusively in energy and climate communications. As Senior Vice President at Tigercomm and host of the Scaling Clean podcast, she's had a front-row seat to what helps companies earn attention and trust, and what causes otherwise strong companies to remain largely invisible.Melissa and Nico dig into why communications is routinely underfunded, why executive silence is itself a strategic choice, and what the best companies do differently to become useful sources of information for their markets. Melissa shares examples from Zillow and Redfin, explains why proprietary data can create authority far beyond traditional promotional content, and makes the case for giving CEOs a much larger role in telling the company story.Then they turn to a rapidly changing question: what happens when discovery moves from Google search results to AI-generated answers? Melissa explains how longer, more specific prompts are changing search behavior, why mentions and credible third-party sources increasingly matter, and how companies can begin auditing whether they even show up when an AI system is asked who matters in their category. The conversation also explores why community engagement should be treated as project risk management and why developers need to begin earning local trust long before they need an approval.Expect to learn:

‘The very word “America” remains a new, almost completely undefined and extremely controversial proper noun,' James Baldwin wrote in 1959. ‘No one in the world seems to know exactly what it describes, not even we motley millions who call ourselves Americans.' Donald Trump's vision of Fortress America, at war with immigrants, shadowy globalists and itself, is a violent attempt to resolve what Baldwin called the ‘rich confusion' of American identity. But there are other possible Americas, some, like Baldwin's, described from voluntary exile. What can they offer at the present moment?

At the bottom of West Virginia's New River Gorge, the nearly abandoned railroad town of Thurmond hides a history of coal wealth, rival businessmen, gambling, violence and suspicious deaths. This episode traces the rise of Thurmond and the infamous Dun Glen Hotel, the crimes that earned the area a lawless reputation, and the town's transformation from a booming C&O railroad center into a preserved part of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

Ready for every boardroom.Mamdani sat down with Jon Stewart and made democratic socialism sound like libraries and fire departments. We break down why that framing collapses the second you look at what DSA policy actually says versus how it gets marketed. We get into the rent freeze experiment that already ran in New York, the difference between a social safety net and seizing the means of production, the perverse incentive problem, and why the people this movement celebrates should set off alarm bells. Plus the aggressive-agreement trap: where the left is right about helping workers, and where the branding hides something very different.Tom reacts to a viral Fox News interview with a national co-chair of the DSA—a clip so extreme he initially assumed it had to be a setup. Joining Tom is Drew as the two go point by point through the DSA platform laid out on air: abolishing the Senate, replacing the presidency and Supreme Court, abolishing ICE, opening borders with amnesty, defunding the Pentagon, abolishing prisons, and bringing most large corporations under government ownership. Tom argues this is communism unmasked, and explains why America's founders deliberately built a republic with checks and balances to protect citizens—even from a president they hate—drawing a stark contrast with what happens under unchecked power in places like China and Iran. The conversation then digs into the deeper engine Tom sees behind radical leftism: an ideology rooted in resentment and an "overproduction of elites"—young people loaded with debt and taught that virtue means finding how you're oppressed. Drew pushes the economic angle hard, arguing that a generation locked out of the capitalism ladder, priced out of housing, and drowning in household debt has little reason to defend a system that isn't working for them. Together they wrestle with inflation, minimum wage, NIMBYism, and whether you can defuse the ideological bomb without first fixing the economy. A candid, combative breakdown of one of the most consequential political fault lines in America. Tom takes on Mayor Mamdani's plan to launch five city-owned grocery stores in New York—a $70 million, taxpayer-funded endeavor promising a core basket of goods at 30% below retail. Joining Tom is Drew, who pushes back and presses on the specifics as the two work through why running a grocery store is one of the hardest businesses on earth, operating on razor-thin 1 to 3% margins. Tom walks through the economics step by step: even zeroing out rent, taxes, and profit, a 30% discount on core goods leaves an unavoidable gap—one the taxpayer has to close. He explains how artificially low prices distort the market, put upward pressure on surrounding stores, and threaten to drive local bodegas out of business (who are already suing). Drawing on his own experience selling into Walmart with Quest, Tom lays out the "kingmaker" dynamic and the Vlasic Pickle cautionary tale to show how a state-backed buyer would inevitably bully distributors and suppliers down the chain until someone—often the lowest-paid worker or farmer—absorbs the loss. He points to real-world failures in Baldwin, Florida; Erie, Kansas; and a questionable case in Atlanta, and connects it all to the DSA's July program calling for food, energy, medicine, and transportation to be run "not for profit." The core question Tom leaves you with: what are the odds a government bureaucrat runs a grocery store better than Walmart? His answer is blunt—zero.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
