The use of stimulants during WWII is no secret, but in the last decade, there has been a lot of discussion and analysis of it.

Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I'm joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit's descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus's identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus's baptism, and why it still matters today.Youtube - https://youtu.be/4_OWvi3PkfwAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Send us a textROBOTS AND KINGSTwo wonderful books to start the year.  Lara meets up with Rebecca Perry to hear all about her debut novel ‘May We Feed The King'. Already a firm favourite at Field HQ, it is the mesmeric story of a king who resists power and the curator who pursues their forgotten legacy. A huge recommend that is described by A.K. Blakemore as ‘A sort of perfect snow globe, presenting a decadent world in miniature that surprises us with the depth of its reflections on power, yearning and loneliness.'  Get your copy here: https://granta.com/products/may-we-feed-the-king/Meanwhile Sam speaks to James Muldoon about his latest book ‘Love Machines', an exploration into the ways in which ‘artificial intelligence is transforming our relationships.' In equal parts fascinating and terrifying it charts the cynical exploitation of loneliness, the erosion of reality's fabric and the myriad ways in which we are being radically re-shaped by this technology.Get Your Copy Here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571399277-love-machines/?srsltid=AfmBOopZ7N938xLuydls_QdygGMtTFfy6lSile0TQZudJc1t28vgFUnW@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Why Every AI Project Needs an Ethics CommitteeIn this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, stresses why AI ethics committees shouldn't be optional.He shares that every project he's worked on included one, because it's extremely difficult for companies to ethically assess their own products in isolation. Independent voices matter.By collaborating with external experts, including the University of Bath, and bringing in outside perspectives, Matthew believes companies can build stronger, more trustworthy AI systems.His advice is clear:

Deepfakes & Democracy: A Dangerous LineIn this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, raises serious concerns about the rise of deepfakes, especially during elections.With examples already online of people appearing to say things they never said, the risk is clear. A flood of deepfakes before an election could heavily influence outcomes, and that's deeply problematic.Still, Matthew points to a hopeful sign: when parties publicly call out and clarify deepfakes, it helps protect democratic processes.The takeaway?

In today's episode, we are so excited to hear from a very special person in our program, Payton Blakemore. She is our student manager and has been for the past year. You get to hear about her and learn about how awesome of a person she is.  She is a sophomore at KWC and is also on the cheer team. Listen in to get to know Payton!

AI, Ethics & Elections: Why Standards Matter More Than EverIn this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, opens up about a critical concern: AI being used the wrong way to influence politics.Driven by the need for stronger guardrails, Matthew stepped into the world of global policy and standards…⚙️ Working with the British Standards Institute

Affirmative action and DEI have become lightning rods in today's culture wars, but how much do we really know about where they came from and why they exist? In this episode, Sergio breaks down the long history of systemic racism in America, from slavery and Jim Crow to redlining and modern hiring bias. You'll learn what affirmative action actually is, what DEI really means, and how both have shaped access, opportunity, and fairness for everyone not just a few. This isn't about guilt. It's about awareness. Because when you understand the history, you start to see the patterns. And once you see them, you can't unsee them.1.Intro2. America's Original Construction Project3.

⚖️ The EU AI Act's Biggest Hurdle: Regulating AI That's Already in UseMatthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, highlights a pressing challenge with the EU AI Act. While the framework does a strong job of classifying AI projects into risk categories, it faces a dilemma with tools that are already in widespread public use. Many existing systems, some of which likely fall into high-risk categories, have already been trained and adopted by millions. The question becomes: should they be withdrawn, despite their popularity, or adapted under new rules?

Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, reflects on the recent debates around AI regulation with a healthy dose of scepticism. He highlights how companies like OpenAI, having already secured a competitive advantage through their vast training data, may now be pushing for regulation not purely from an ethical standpoint, but as a way to protect their lead and limit competition.He acknowledges the importance of frameworks like the upcoming EU AI Act, which will play a critical role in shaping how AI is built and deployed in the future. The real test is ensuring safety and accountability without stifling innovation and fair competition.Listen to the full podcast now- https://bit.ly/40GZ9bw#AI #EUAIAct #MatthewBlakemore #TechRegulation #ArtificialIntelligence #Outgrow

Artificial intelligence is moving into the mainstream of government and industry, and with it comes new responsibilities. Mapping today's AI landscape, then, means looking into the behavioural shifts it triggers, the governance frameworks it demands, and the global power dynamics it reshuffles. In this Digital Government Podcast episode we're joined by Matthew Blakemore, CEO of AI Caramba! and a leading architect behind the ISO/IEC 8183 international AI standard. Known for bridging cutting-edge innovation with public value, Blakemore has helped shape global conversations on AI data governance, ethical deployment, and public sector readiness. In preparation for his keynote at the e-Governance Conference 2025, we draw from practical frameworks and his experience advising governments and media networks to explore how to govern AI with clarity, caution, and intention. Well before algorithms outpace the institutions meant to oversee them.

What work can genre do today? And can the genre system become more than a method of reductive containment and market segmentation—can it be a generative source of imaginative chaos? Few are as qualified to address these questions as Lauren Beukes, whose simultaneous embrace of genres from science fiction to crime to horror and refusal to abide within their borders—what she calls her “Big Fuck You Energy”—has rendered her, by her own account, “basically un-shelve-able.” Beukes is joined by crime fiction scholar (and novelist) Andrew Pepper of Queen's University Belfast for a conversation that dances across her oeuvre's many genres. They delve into how Beukes first encountered genre through the allegories that writers used to navigate the apartheid state of South Africa; how Beukes' experiences of femicidal violence and police apathy inspired her work in genre-bent crime (“At least in novels I get to have justice,” she tells us); the inflection of dystopia from different global perspectives; and the role of speculative fiction in helping clarify political enemies in an age of obfuscation. Pepper and Beukes also think about genre in more practical terms, from the logistics of keeping track of plotlines when crafting time travel or multiverse novels to what it means to be a “high concept” author in a market designed for distracted audiences.

Forged in Genocide traces the early history of colonial capitalism in Namibia with a central focus on migrants who came to be key to the economy during and as a result of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama (1904-1908). It posits that Namibia, far from being a colonial backwater of the early 20th century, became highly integrated into the labor flows and economies of West and Southern Africa, and even for a time was one of the most sought-after regions for African migrants because of relatively high wages and numerous opportunities resulting from the war's demographic devastation paired with an economic frenzy following the discovery of diamonds.  In highlighting the life stories of migrants in Namibia from regions as diverse as the Kru coast of Liberia, the Eastern Cape of South Africa, and the Ovambo polities of Northern Namibia, this work integrates micro-history into larger African continental trends. Building off of written sources from migrants themselves and utilising the Namibian Worker Database constructed for this project, this book explores the lives of workers in early colonial Namibia in a way that has hereto not been attempted.
