Podcasts about bystanders

Johanna Samuels is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Johanna first hit my radar with her awesome 2023 release Bystander, produced by long-time friend of the pod Josh Kaufman. Now she's got a fantastic new record called Sorry Kid coming out this week and we talked about that as well as waterbugs, morally complex endings, having a panic attack at Moulin Rouge, going to movies by yourself, and Blue vs. Pinkerton. As always, I had a blast talking to Johanna, it's a great episode. Please listen and subscribe!

John David wrote The Bystander, which is ironic because at the end of the show, he himself becomes a bystander. Hey, we never claimed to be a tightly-run ship. That's why we're not buying any property on Palm Beach island. Well, one of many reasons. Oh yeah, remember how we kept talking about death in the previous segment? The Bystander is about someone who catches a mass shooting being thwarted by a good guy with a gun...but not all is as it seems. More murder and more mystery. How perfect. Oh yeah, and Nick Swardson dropped by.You can buy John's books or read his musings at https://byjohndavid.substack.com/!This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Reach out to us at https://www.podmatch.com/member/tombarnardpodcast.

Here's your chance to listen to a firsthand account of one of the most horrible parts of our recent human history, and how we stop it from happening again. This episode features a conversation with a psychologist whose life's work sits at the intersection of two of humanity's most extreme capacities: the capacity for cruelty, and the capacity for courage.  A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary, hiding in Budapest as a six-year-old, he became a leading researcher on the psychology of genocide, group violence, and altruism - work that has shaped police training programs on "active bystandership," informed reconciliation efforts in Rwanda, and produced decades of research on what leads ordinary people to help others, even at personal risk. What to Listen for:  Small early experiences compound. How children are raised - with warmth, responsiveness, and consistent values - can shape whether they grow toward caring or toward hostility, on both an individual and societal level. Responsibility, not just empathy, drives action. Empathy alone doesn't reliably produce helping behavior - a felt sense of responsibility for someone else's welfare, paired with a belief that you can actually make a difference, is what moves people to act. Bystanders can be trained to become "active bystanders." This isn't just theory - it's the basis of real police and school training programs designed to help people intervene safely when they see harm happening. "Blind patriotism" vs. "constructive patriotism" is a useful lens for understanding how loyalty to a group, a leader, or a country can either enable harm or serve as a check against it. Violence - and caring - escalate gradually. Small unaddressed moments of hostility or dehumanization tend to compound over time, in families, institutions, and nations alike. Personal history and professional work aren't separate. The guest's own childhood experience of hiding from persecution, and the people who risked their lives to protect his family, directly shaped decades of research into what makes rescuers different from bystanders. About Ervin Staub Professor Emeritus of Psychology and founding director of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary as a young child, he has spent his career researching the roots of genocide, mass violence, and altruism — including fieldwork in Rwanda, expert witness work related to the Abu Ghraib trials, and the design of active-bystandership training programs now used by police departments across the country.

Bystanders witness the vast majority of bullying incidents, and how they respond in that moment often determines whether the behavior stops, escalates, or continues without any adult noticing at all.

 WORT 89.9FM Madison · Voices from the Corey Ruiz Memorial On July 22, 2026, a yet-to-be-identified Madison police officer shot 38-year old Corey Ruiz three times in the head, killing Ruiz on the spot.  Bystander video appears to show that Ruiz had already been subdued by three other officers when one officer fired his gun.  The incident occurred at the intersection of Madison's Williamson and Baldwin Streets, in the Williamson-Marquette neighborhood.  That neighborhood has seen more than its share of police violence, with Madison Police officer Stephen Heimsness shooting Paulie Heenan dead in 2012, officer Matt Kenny shooting Tony Robinson dead in 2015 and officer Hector Rivera shooting Michael Schumacher dead in 2016.  In the aftermath of the Ruiz shooting, friends, neighbors and activists have erected a Corey Ruiz memorial at the intersection where Ruiz died.  Williamson and Baldwin Streets remain barricaded, and an ad hoc village has sprung up at the site.  Tents provide food, shelter, mental health services, clothing swaps – even a beautician for neighborhood residents, many of whom are homeless.  When Monday Buzz host Brian Standing visited the Memorial on Sunday, August 2nd, many people were reluctant to speak to the media, citing poor experiences with coverage in the past.  Here's a sample of some of the folks who were willing to talk about their experience.

We get into why most people are conflict averse and what happens when you ignore toxic behavior instead of addressing it. Mauricio breaks down the difference between reacting and responding, how to spot your own triggers before they take over, and the exact language he teaches leaders to use when someone is coming in hot. We talk through real stories from his thirty year career, from coaching a CEO who nearly destroyed his company's culture in fifteen seconds to a moment in the stands at his daughter's basketball game where he chose to stand up instead of stay silent. This conversation is about moving from bystander to upstander, in your business, your family, and your life.

It's easy to assume someone else will help. Someone else will feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for the sick, visit the prisoner, or stand in the gap for the vulnerable. But in Matthew 25, Jesus identifies Himself with “the least of these” and reminds us that acts of compassion are never just about people; they are ultimately about Him. In this message, we explore how the bystander effect has crept into the church, why genuine faith produces tangible love, and how serving the forgotten reveals the transforming work of Christ in our hearts.

Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on FumesPicture this: A woman walks out of a store with grocery bags stacked up both arms. Her hands are shaking, items are slipping, and the door in front of her seems impossible to open. Bystanders step in to help, but she insists, “No, I've got it.” In reality, she doesn't.It's easy to feel frustrated imagining this unfolding before you. We want to shout, “Just accept the help!” But this is often exactly how we live. Wisdom calls out to us, offering a better way – a life not crushed under the weight of sin, pride, and self-sufficiency. It seems obvious that we should accept this offer, but strangely, we often act just like this woman: unwilling to humble ourselves and receive what God offers.Join us this Sunday as we read through the second chapter of Proverbs, seeking to answer the question: Do you want wisdom?

You've probably already walked by a stranger spreadeagled on the ground. Chances are that if you saw several people already offering assistance, you carried on walking by. That's due to what is known as the bystander effect. The bystander effect is a psychosocial phenomenon which typically crops up in emergency situations. It shows that the more other people are already intervening to help, the less likely we are to do so ourselves. On the other hand, the likelihood of stepping in increases when you're the only person present. How does psychology explain this phenomenon? What are some well-known examples?

fWotD Episode 3321: Types Riot Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 8 June 2026, is Types Riot.The Types Riot was the destruction of William Lyon Mackenzie's printing press and movable type by members of the Family Compact on June 8, 1826, in York, Upper Canada (now known as Toronto). The Family Compact was the ruling elite of Upper Canada who appointed themselves to positions of power within the Upper Canadian government. Mackenzie created the Colonial Advocate newspaper and published editorials in the paper that accused the Family Compact of incompetence and profiteering on corrupt practices, offending the rioters. It is not known who planned the riot, although Samuel Jarvis, a government official, later claimed he organized the event. On the evening of June 8, nine to fifteen rioters forced their way into the newspaper offices and destroyed property. During the event, Mackenzie's employees tried to get passersby to help stop the rioters. Bystanders refused to help when they saw government officials such as William Allan and Stephen Heward were watching the spectacle. When the rioters finished destroying the office, they took cases of type with them and threw them into the nearby bay.Mackenzie sued the rioters for the damage to his property and lost business opportunities. The civil trial attracted substantial media attention, with several newspapers denouncing the government officials who failed to stop the riot. A jury awarded Mackenzie £625 to be paid by the defendants, a particularly harsh settlement. He used the event to highlight abuses of the Upper Canada government during his first campaign for election to the Parliament of Upper Canada, for which he was ultimately successful. Reformers viewed Mackenzie as a martyr because of the destruction of his property, and he remained popular for several years. Historians identify the event as a sign of weakening Tory influence in Upper Canada politics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:41 UTC on Monday, 8 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Types Riot 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 standard Nicole.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a reality that has fundamentally changed what it means to work in law enforcement (Amazon Affiliate) and emergency services today: being filmed — constantly, publicly, and often without context — and what that persistent scrutiny does to the mind over time. Body cameras. Bystander phones. Social media clips edited for outrage. The modern first responder operates in an environment where every decision, every word, and every reaction is potentially one viral moment away from becoming a national headline. This episode explores the psychological weight of that reality and what it is doing to the people who still show up anyway.

In this episode, I sit down with John David, a debut novelist whose first book The Bystander is already making waves in the thriller world. John shares what his career looked like long before fiction: spending decades in public relations, crisis communications, and ghostwriting and how writing has always been a thread running through his life.We talk about what it really takes to write a novel (spoiler: it's a lot of words and a lot of persistence), and how one real-life news story sparked the idea for his book. John walks us through his unique writing process, the challenges of staying motivated, and why pushing through self-doubt is one of the most important things a writer can do.He also gives an honest look at the publishing world—what it's like to face rejection, how hard it can be to get your work seen, and why he believes the industry is due for change. Whether you're a reader, an aspiring writer, or just someone who loves hearing how people step into something new, this conversation is full of insight and encouragement.To connect with John, visit https://byjohndavid.substack.com/Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?

The Death of Jesus Coleton begins by grounding this moment in something deeply human: watching someone die changes you. He shares the memory of watching his grandfather pass away—the sights, the sounds, the emotions—and how it stayed with him. That kind of moment doesn't fade; it marks you. That's exactly what happens to the Roman centurion in this passage. He watches Jesus die, and it changes everything. For the first time in the Gospel account, a human being—an unlikely one at that—declares: “Surely this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39) Up to this point, only God Himself has called Jesus His Son. Now a hardened Roman soldier sees it—and worships. Coleton's main idea: we are meant to be marked by the death of Jesus in the same way. And to help us see that, he draws out three realities revealed in Jesus' death. 1. God is Demonstrating His Love for Us What We See in the Text Coleton points to verses 16–32, where Jesus is: Mocked Beaten Spit on Lied about Crucified Insulted even while dying And who is doing this? Religious leaders (hypocrites) Soldiers (abusers) Criminals (rebels) Bystanders (mockers) His own executioners These are the people Jesus is dying for. “Christ died for the ungodly… While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:6–8) “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:13) Coleton's Main Point This is not just Jesus being loving—this is God demonstrating His love. God is showing, in the clearest possible way, what He feels about sinners—not after they clean themselves up, but while they are still broken, rebellious, and undeserving. Application You do not have to earn God's love. His love is not based on your behavior—it cannot be, or the cross makes no sense. He already loves you at your worst. Coleton presses into a common lie: We often believe God doesn't really love us. He traces this lie through Scripture: Genesis – The serpent convinces Adam and Eve that God is holding out on them. Numbers – Israel believes God is trying to harm them, not bless them. The Rich Young Ruler – He walks away from Jesus, not trusting His love. In every case, distrusting God's love leads to missing life. Key Insight The cross is meant to be a permanent marker in your life: God loves you this much. So when God leads, commands, or corrects—it is always coming from love, not control or cruelty. 2. God is Being Incredibly Merciful to Us What We See in the Text (vv. 33–37) Darkness covers the land Jesus cries out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus breathes His last These are not random მოვლენ—they are loaded with meaning. Coleton Connects This to the Bigger Story Exile from God's Presence In Genesis, sin leads to exile. Here, Jesus experiences that exile: “Why have you forsaken me?” Judgment Through Darkness In Exodus, darkness was a plague of judgment. Now darkness falls again—this time as Jesus bears judgment. The Bronze Serpent (Numbers 21:6–9) People sinned → were bitten → dying God said: Look at the symbol of judgment lifted up, and live Jesus connects this to Himself: “Just as Moses lifted up the snake… so the Son of Man must be lifted up…” (John 3:14–18) Coleton's Main Point Jesus is taking the full judgment and punishment for sin. Not part of it. Not most of it. All of it. Application Most Christians say: “Jesus died for my sins.” But Coleton challenges: we don't live like we believe that. We still think: “God is punishing me for that mistake.” “This bad thing happened because I sinned.” “I'm not sure God will forgive me this time.” But Coleton makes it clear: God already punished sin—fully—in Jesus. There is nothing left for you to pay. Quotes to Drive This Home “He lives for this… When you come to Christ for mercy… you are going with the flow of His deepest wishes.” — Dane Ortlund “I am a sinner… but my Savior has died for all my sins… His blood is sufficient.” — (Martin Luther, paraphrased) Key Insight Jesus is not reluctant to forgive you. He is eager. He went to the cross for this exact purpose. Coming to Him for forgiveness isn't bothering Him—it's receiving what He paid for. 3. God is Inviting Us Back Into His Presence What We See in the Text (vv. 37–38) “The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” What This Means That curtain represented separation: In Genesis, humanity is shut out of Eden In the Temple, God's presence is restricted behind a veil Only the high priest could enter—once a year But now? God tears the curtain Himself. “This was God's way of saying… the way is now open to approach Me.” — Timothy Keller Coleton's Main Point Through Jesus' death, God is inviting us back into His presence. The barrier is gone. The separation is over. The relationship is restored. Why This Matters Coleton explains: what we're really looking for in life is God Himself. He uses Blaise Pascal's insight: “All men seek happiness… but the infinite abyss can only be filled by God Himself.” We chase: Success Relationships Comfort Pleasure But none of it satisfies—because we were made for God's presence. Key Insight The torn curtain is God saying: “Everything you've been searching for is found in Me.” Conclusion: What Will You Do With This? Coleton brings it home with three diagnostic questions: Do you struggle to believe God truly loves you? Do you doubt that He could fully forgive you? Are you still trying to find life apart from Him? The cross answers all three: You are deeply loved You are fully forgiven You are invited in Now the question is: Will you receive it? Discipleship Group Questions Why do you think it's so hard for people (including yourself) to truly believe that God loves them? In what ways do you still act like you have to “pay” for your sin instead of trusting that Jesus already did? Which of the three truths (God's love, God's mercy, God's invitation) do you struggle to live in the most—and why? How does the image of the curtain being torn change the way you think about approaching God? What would it practically look like this week to “live marked” by the death of Jesus? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus At the cross, Jesus willingly took the punishment we deserve and offered us the love we've been searching for our whole lives—proving that God isn't against us, but closer than we ever imagined.

Charles Vallow tried to get help. He reached out to Lori's family. He documented her threats. He told police he was afraid.Nobody intervened. Five months later, he was dead.This is Part 4 of "The Chosen Ones," our psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we analyze why people watch abuse unfold in high control religion and don't act — the psychology of complicity, loyalty, and the conviction that faithful people don't do terrible things.Melanie Gibb was Lori's best friend. She was the last person to see JJ alive. She heard Chad Daybell's zombie doctrine, participated in castings, knew the children were missing — and accepted explanations until police called.Alex Cox was Lori's brother. According to prosecutors, he killed Charles, killed Tylee, killed JJ, and was involved in Tammy's death — all because he believed Chad Daybell's doctrine that they were zombies who had to be destroyed.Chad Daybell's children testified at his murder trial. They defended him.Everyone around Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow saw something. Most saw too late. Some never saw at all.This episode asks: When someone you love becomes dangerous, what do you do? And if you stay silent, are you protecting them — or complicit?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Do you ever find yourself minimizing your own needs, and/or feeling responsible for others' emotions?Do you tend to stay quiet to keep the peace, or freeze during conflict?Have you ever struggled with boundaries or wondered why standing up for yourself feels so hard?Here we explore a family dynamic that can be just as damaging for what doesn't happen as for what does. If there was a volatile parent in your house and a more passive one (or if that's the dynamic you're in as a parent right now, with your own children), you'll want to hear this.This conversation goes beyond obvious abuse and into the invisible wounds: the confusion of not knowing who will protect you, the way your body learns to brace, appease, or disappear, and how those early patterns quietly follow you into adult relationships.We also explore what healing can look like — not through blame, but through awareness. How do you grieve the protection you didn't receive? What does it take to stop replaying the bully–bystander dynamic in your partnerships, friendships, or inner world? If you've ever felt caught between harm and silence, this episode invites you to name the experience — and begin choosing something different.---Mentioned on this episode:One Million Rising (pro-democracy training): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4496VWDjwS0&t=19svioletlange.com/root -- to sign up & get Zoom link (or replay after Feb 12th).

In the early hours of March 13, 1964, twenty-eight-year-old Kitty Genovese returned home from work and parked her car in a lot near her Queens apartment, completely unaware that someone was following her. As she approached the door to her apartment building, Kitty's stalker ran up behind her and stabbed her in the back twice before being scared off by a neighbor who yelled from his window. Wounded, Kitty managed to get to the back of the building, but her attacker soon returned and brutally assaulted her. By the time an ambulance arrived an hour later, it was too late; Kitty Genovese died before she reached the hospital.Kitty's murder and the arrest of her killer, Winston Moseley, were quickly overshadowed by what were believed to be the facts of the attack, primarily the widely held belief that at least thirty-eight neighbors had seen the assault or heard Kitty's cries for help and did nothing. Despite there having been no evidence to support that belief, the narrative quickly became about urban apathy, with the death of a Queens bartender merely a footnote. The murder of Kitty Genovese is one of the most notorious violent crimes in modern American history—not because of the details or circumstances of the crime, but because of the legend and mythology that has built up around it.ReferencesCook, Kevin. 2014.
