In her explosive new book Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, investigative author Sarah McCarthy exposes the hidden story the media refused to tell. Drawing from Juliette Bryant's secret diary, McCarthy reveals a chilling world where elite scientists, intelligence agencies, and global leaders converged—using victims not only for blackmail, but for covert experiments in eugenics, cloning, and mind control. In this episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett sits down with McCarthy to crack open the darkest secret of our age: Epstein as prototype for elite power. GUEST: Sarah McCarthy is a South African-born investigative author who exposes the covert alliances between global elites, intelligence agencies, and controversial science. A former top copywriter for brands like Ogilvy & Mather and Burberry, she now applies her skills to uncovering hidden power structures. Her latest book, Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, reveals how Jeffrey Epstein's operation extended far beyond sex trafficking—into eugenics, cloning, and mind-control experimentation disguised as philanthropy.

Jeff and Phil welcome pop culture pals and cultural critics Dino-Ray Ramos and Rebecca Sun to discuss two new similarly-flavored TV series, Butterfly and Tempest. They explore the cultural significance of these Korean and Korean-adjacent shows, their unique storytelling approaches, and the evolving landscape of Asian American representation in global content. They discuss the future of authentic Asian storytelling in Hollywood -- beyond stunt casting and "flower vases"; the role of diaspora creatives; and the balance between small, intimate stories and larger global narratives. They also caution against Hollywood's inevitable exploitation and commodification of K-culture.

If you've ever dreamed of turning your backyard (or even your balcony!) into a haven for butterflies, this episode is for you. Debbie and Laurie welcome Pamela Grundy — historian, writer, and passionate butterfly gardener from Charlotte, North Carolina — to share her journey into creating thriving butterfly gardens and inspiring others to do the same. Pamela explains the simple but powerful difference between nectar plants and host plants, why milkweed is essential for monarchs, and how even a few parsley plants can support the full butterfly life cycle. Along the way, she shares practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, and insights from her book Butterfly Gardening in the Carolina Piedmont. Whether you're new to gardening or ready to take your pollinator-friendly planting to the next level, you'll leave this episode inspired to make space for butterflies — and all the beauty they bring to our natural world.

In this episode of YAS Podcast, host Daisy Ducati, along with co-host AM Davies, engages with guests Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant to discuss their book 'Not Your Rescue Project.' The conversation delves into the problematic aspects of anti-trafficking movements, revealing how these initiatives often harm rather than help sex workers, particularly migrant and racialized workers. Highlighting the intersection of SW, migration, and racial justice, the discussion uncovers the urgency of addressing the misconceptions behind rescue projects and calls for unified support from the left. The episode also focuses on the organizing efforts of Butterfly, an Asian and migrant SW support network, and explores the detrimental impact of criminalization and policing on sex workers. Listeners are encouraged to educate themselves, support migrant SW organizations, and challenge the systemic issues within anti-trafficking movements.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Hosts00:41 Welcome to YAS Podcast02:13 Meet Our Guests: Elene Lamb and Chanelle03:17 Discussing 'Not Your Rescue Project'05:48 The Intersection of Sex Work and Racial Justice07:42 Challenges Faced by Migrant SW's10:39 The Role of Anti-Trafficking Movements16:15 The Complexity of Migrant SW21:57 The Anti-Trafficking Industry26:49 Racism in Human Trafficking Narratives37:56 State Exploitation and Armed Robbery38:22 Undercover Officers and Legal Loopholes38:54 ICE Arrests and Migrant SW39:45 The Spectacle of Cruelty in Immigration Enforcement40:14 Sex Workers and Immigration Enforcement Tactics40:43 Anti-Trafficking Organizations and Surveillance43:38 Racial Disparities in Anti-Trafficking Efforts44:05 The Criminalization of Migrant SW's49:44 Funding Disparities in Anti-Trafficking Movements58:55 The Resistance and Organizing of Migrant SW's01:01:14 How to Support Migrant SW's01:04:07 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionLinksButterfly SW OrgButterfly InstagramChanelle Galante WebsiteChanelle InstagramDaisy InstagramYAS Work InstagramYAS Work BlueSkyYAS Work TwitterYAS Work Youtube

Nearly every great story involves a transformation. In the butterfly world, we call it metamorphosis—the mysterious process where a caterpillar seemingly dissolves itself and is miraculously rebuilt into a creature that takes to the sky. Our guest today is a living parallel to that transformation.Liam O'Brien started his career far from the wild, under the bright lights of the stage as a professional actor. Yet, a shift was coming. At a pivotal time in his life, he traded the scripts and the spotlight for the quiet, meticulous study of winged beauty, stepping into the world of lepidoptery.This pivot wasn't just a career change; it was a profound reawakening. In the precision and fragile beauty of the Bay Area's butterflies, Liam not only found a new scientific passion but he also re-discovered his dormant talent for art. He began documenting his observations with exquisite, original drawings, blending science and creativity in a way only he could.The final form of this incredible journey is his beautifully illustrated Butterflies of the Bay Area - and slightly beyond.Today, Liam discusses what makes butterflies so amazing. We discuss how no matter where you live, there are discoveries to be made. And this interview is so much more than just butterflies. You'll have to listen to hear the raw, jaw dropping story of what led Liam to this life change.And as you'd expect from a stage actor, Liam is full of charismatic and entertaining stories. And while we get into the details of some specific butterflies and places of the Bay Area, rest assured - there are parallels no matter where you live.You can find Liam at robber_fly on instagram, and check out the show notes for links to Heyday Press and his book. And thanks to Amelia Heintz-Botz for editing help with this episode!FULL SHOW NOTESButterflies of the Bay Area and (Slightly) Beyond - Liam's beautiful new bookADDITIONAL LINKSLiam's public appearancesThe Lepidopterists' SocietyBooksDangerous World of Butterflies by Peter LauferKaufman Field Guide To Butterflies Of North AmericaRelated Podcast Episode#46: Paul Johnson - Finding and Counting ButterfliesSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

Talking about race in the theater has never been easy, and back in the late '80s and early '90s it could feel downright hostile. When conversations around representation and casting came up, especially on Broadway, they often turned into battles where the establishment closed ranks and those pushing for change were left on the outside. ⁠Last time⁠, we explored one of the most heated examples of that tension: the uproar over Miss Saigon casting a white actor, Jonathan Pryce, in the role of a Vietnamese character. For playwright David Henry Hwang, that experience of protesting against the system and losing left scars he would eventually process through his art. Fresh off the success of M. Butterfly, he set out to write a farce called Face Value, a play built on mistaken racial identities and inspired directly by that controversy. But unlike his earlier triumph, this one stumbled badly—closing in previews and becoming one of Broadway's most infamous flops. Today we'll look back at how Face Value came to be, why it collapsed so quickly, and how even in failure it left its mark on the conversation around race and representation on stage. --- Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a transcript and list of all resources used.

In the latest episode of the Fairy Whispering podcast, I welcome Melissa Larose, a PhD student from the University of Aberdeen. Melissa shares her experiences, insights and passion for researching faerie belief and folklore. Melissa describes her encounters with a brownie—an impish yet helpful fairy—living in her flat. Melissa discusses how, despite modern scepticism, many people still adhere to traditional practices, leaving offerings for fairies to gain their goodwill. In a particularly striking encounter in an English park, Melissa and a friend unexpectedly came across a green mist and a winged fairy.  We discuss how these magical experiences often happen when we're open to them, suggesting a deeper connection to the world around us. We explore the significance of fairy circles and the cultural beliefs surrounding them, learning how different cultures across the globe maintain a connection to fairy lore through rituals and offerings—highlighting a universal bond to nature and the supernatural. Melissa describes her special connection to the Cruikshank Botanical Gardens, and its serene arboretum, which she describes as a 'fairyland' and finds inspiration for her fairy poetry and senses the resident nature spirits.I'm sure you will be captivated by her stories of her fairy experiences and her passion for researching fairies!Join us in this enchanting episode that promises to inspire and ignite your imagination and let your spirit wander through the fairy realms!**Contact the Show:** clairefairywhisperer@gmail.com**Show Notes:** www.thefairywhispering.com**Follow the Magic:** www.instagram.com/fairywhisperingpodcast**Have you seen a fairy?** Share your sightings with the Fairy Census: Fairy Census Submission**Music Credits:**- Intro Music: "Forest of Butterflies" by Twelve Trees- Outro Music: Autumn Beauty Reverie by Claire Casely

Mari and Harry's lives intertwine once again, setting off a chain of events as unexpected and life altering as the shifts in climate affecting the whole ecosystem of the island…from generations of fishing families to the lobsters and the butterflies.Little Great Island  illustrates in microcosm the greatest changes of our time and the unyielding power of love.“An uplifting and grown-up novel in which two lost souls find love and purpose”—Kirkus Reviews“…utterly grounded and achingly empathetic, developed with gorgeous, flowing prose and a steady, sometimes heart-wrenching plot.”—Booklisthttps://katewoodworth.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Jeff and Phil welcome actors Daniel Dae Kim and Reina Hardesty, stars of the Prime Video thriller series Butterfly. Daniel talks about adapting the original graphic novel to create an action/espionage series around Korean American characters; Reina talks about auditioning for "Untitled Daniel Dae Kim Project" and finding her way in the role of estranged daughter (and highly-skilled assassin) Rebecca; they talk about the need for nuance in ethnic-specific casting for Asian American actors; and we get The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of making Butterfly. 

Building Resourceful in Kids – September Table Talk - #206: In this month's table talk episode, our three cohosts chat through the discussion questions found in this year's Make It Awkward curriculum video by David Thomas and Sissy Goff.  Some notable quotes from this episode include:“We so want an easy, comfortable life, but it is the hard things that teach us that resilience and resourcefulness.” - Jennifer “When we look at our own lives and realize that out of these hard things, good came out of it. That can help us trust God with our kids and knowing that he has things to teach them. We don't want to rob them of those things, as hard as it is sometimes.” -Andrea  “We want to leave space for God to work.” - Sherri We'd love to connect with you!

Each week on the podcast we'll spend a few minutes introducing a question, let you in on how we've processed it and invite you to go and do the same. Typically we'll take a few minutes to set you up with a question for your date night but in this episode we want to discuss “What Is One Thing I Do That Makes You Blush or Get Butterflies?”

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with my friend and fellow author interviewer, Sara DiVello. Sara is a thriller author, and creator and host of Mystery and Thriller Mavens, a popular author interview series and interactive Facebook group. We met at the San Diego Writers Festival and have since become friends. Sara's boundless energy and verve for life and literature are contagious. Sara is a gem!Have you ever stumbled upon the ruins of a castle in suburban America? For Sara DiVello, that chance discovery sparked a decade-long journey to uncover one of the Jazz Age's most fascinating unsolved murders.Sara shares the remarkable story behind her historical thriller, Broadway Butterfly. The book resurrects the forgotten 1923 murder of Dot King, a case that implicated one of America's wealthiest families and exposed the complex social dynamics of Prohibition-era New York.With candor and warmth, Sara reveals her own compelling journey from corporate burnout to published author. After a pivotal moment watching her mother face terminal illness, Sara confronted the question we all eventually face: if time were limited, would you spend it as you are now? This revelation led her to abandon her stable but unfulfilling career to pursue writing, with yoga teaching providing both financial support and the mental clarity essential for creativity.What makes this conversation truly exceptional is Sara's deep dive into her meticulous research process. Drawing from over 1,800 primary sources, she reconstructed not just the crime but the textured world of 1920s Manhattan—from the cigarette-littered floors of newspaper offices to the complex racial dynamics facing Black Americans who had migrated north. Her approach to writing characters outside her own experience, particularly Ella Bradford (a Black woman in 1923), demonstrates remarkable care and ethical consideration.Sara illuminates the eerie parallels between 1923 and today. "How much has changed and how little has changed," she observes, noting society's persistent fixation on controlling women's bodies and choices, and our collective reluctance to confront uncomfortable historical truths.Ready to discover why forgotten stories like Dot King's matter now more than ever? Listen now, and consider what voices from our past still deserve to be heard.Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Today, I sit down with Steven Puri, an Academy Award-winning Hollywood executive turned burnout prevention advocate. Steven's journey from the glittering heights of Hollywood success to discovering profound truths about sustainable achievement is absolutely insightful, and I know his revelations will resonate deeply with so many of you who are pushing hard but feeling like you're not progressing.What struck me most about our conversation was Steven's raw honesty about his experience in the entertainment industry—from the soul-nourishing culture at DreamWorks to the energy-draining environment at Fox that nearly broke him. His story beautifully illustrates something I see with so many of my clients: that invisible exhaustion that comes from pouring your precious life force into work that doesn't align with your values.Here's what you'll discover in this informative episode: ✅ How a chance encounter with a yoga teacher in the middle of an Indian forest became Steven's wake-up call to break free from the burnout cycle and reclaim his authentic path ✅ The surprising science behind "dopamine management" and why understanding your brain's reward system is crucial for avoiding the energy-draining traps of our digital world ✅ Steven's powerful revelation about flow states—those magical moments when time disappears and high-quality work happens effortlessly—and practical techniques you can use to access them consistently ✅ Why the "other thing" principle is essential for creativity, and how giving your executive mind something else to focus on unlocks your subconscious problem-solving abilities ✅ Simple but profound strategies for staying productive without burning out, including the game-changing approach of focusing on just three priorities instead of overwhelming yourself with endless to-do listsWhat I absolutely love about Steven's approach is how he combines his engineering background with deep spiritual wisdom to create practical solutions for modern burnout. His Sukha app and methodology aren't just about working harder—they're about working in harmony with your natural rhythms and energy patterns.https://thesukha.co.  email at steven@thesukha.coGet The Net and the Butterfly by Cabane and Pollack  about breakthrough thinking as mentioned in the episodeShow notes at https://www.breakfreefromtheburnout.comGet your breakthrough quantum call: https://www.scientifichealer.com/quantum Liked this episode?

Knowing Yourself as a Leader with Beth McCord - #205: Jennifer Iverson chats with Enneagram expert Beth McCord about how self-awareness is a crucial part of our leadership. Great quotes from this episode include: “It's good to see what other people are gifted at. But what is God calling me to be? How is he calling me to be shaped with the personality he gave me? That's what the Enneagram is going to help us to understand: Am I living in alignment, misalignment or out of alignment with the truth of the gospel in how he created me?” - Beth “It is so important as leaders that we understand our people and that we take care of them in the way that is best suited for them.” - Beth “By definition as a leader, you are leading people. But these people were created uniquely and not identical to you. What motivates them isn't the same thing motivates you.” - Jennifer We'd love to connect with you!

You know the feeling. Your heart rate's already elevated before you've even warmed up. Your stomach feels off. You start second-guessing everything—your training, your pacing plan, your breakfast… all of it.Let me start by saying this: nerves are normal. In fact, they're a sign that you care. The goal today is not to get rid of the nerves, but to learn how to channel them.First, let's talk about where these nerves come from. Your body's just doing what it's designed to do—preparing for a challenge. It's a mild fight-or-flight response: adrenaline kicks in, your senses are heightened, your body is on alert.But if you don't know how to frame it mentally, those butterflies can start to spiral. They go from "I'm ready" to "I'm freaking out." So let's talk about how to shift that energy.One of the most powerful mindset tools you can use is to relabel the nerves as excitement.“I'm not anxious. I'm excited.”They feel almost the same in the body—elevated heart rate, sweaty palms, tension. But one mindset is empowering, the other is paralyzing.So when you feel the nerves kicking in, say to yourself:“This means I'm ready. I've trained for this. My body is waking up.”Nerves often come from fear of the unknown—weather, competition, how you'll feel at mile 20.So pull your mind back to what you can control:Your pacing strategyYour nutrition and hydrationYour attitudeYour breathingEverything else? Let it go.Here are a few tools I give my athletes to stay grounded:Visualization – Close your eyes the night before or morning of and walk through your race. Start to finish. Calm, confident, and strong.Breathwork – Box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) helps regulate your nervous system.Mantras – A few words you can anchor into when your mind starts to spiral. Examples: “Strong and steady.” “I've done the work.” “Calm is fast.”Okay, so what if you still panic a little? That's okay. It doesn't mean the race is doomed. Most athletes have 1–2 “oh crap” moments pre-race. Let it pass. Come back to your breath. Come back to the plan.Your race isn't won or lost in the first mile. It's won by staying present.Race day nerves don't mean something's wrong. They mean you're stepping into something meaningful.You're pushing your limits. You're putting yourself out there. You're doing something most people will never dare to try.So the next time you feel those butterflies? Smile. Say thank you. And get ready to fly.

Benji Jones, senior environmental correspondent at Vox, shares his reporting on how cities like New York can nurture threatened species, including monarch butterflies.

Wouldn't you like to not only understand God's Word, but also let it transform you by the power of the Holy Spirit? Oh friend, me too!  So today, we have Pastor Dan Jacobsen with us, and he is going to unpack how this is possible. But first, you should know there's something really special about this… Years ago, Dan unearthed an unpublished manuscript tucked away in a dusty manila folder that belonged to his grandfather, the legendary Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe! Dan finished the work his grandfather started, and the result is a beautiful new devotional and this inspiring conversation.  Dan not only gives us the inside scoop on his grandfather's life and ministry, but he also shares insights on why real change matters (no matter your age) and how you can stop settling for superficial fixes and start embracing true, Spirit-led transformation.

The LSS Boyz continue their journey to crown the Best Album of the 21st Century (so far) by pitting two historic albums by the same artist against each other: Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.a.a.d. city vs. To Pimp A Butterfly. Every episode this season, Cole and Charles each nominate one album they feel should be in contention for the 21st century's best. Each album is discussed individually before the two albums battle head to head, where Cole and Charles argue until they can agree on the better album. The winning album from each episode advances to the season finale Royal Rumble, where the LSS boys will face off one last time until they can finally agree on the Best Album of the 21st Century.  New episodes every Tuesday.
