One of history's most powerful rulers was shaped by a teacher he never met. In this episode, Ryan talks with Professor William O. Stephens about how Marcus Aurelius discovered Epictetus, why the former slave's teachings hit him so deeply, and how those ideas about freedom, power, and self-mastery helped shape the philosopher king.William O. Stephens is a philosopher specializing in Stoicism, ethics, and ancient philosophy. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and spent over 30 years teaching at Creighton University, where he is now Professor Emeritus. His work spans topics like friendship, ecology, and human nature, with a focus on Stoic thought. His latest book is Marcus Aurelius: Philosopher-King (2025), and he is also the author of Marcus Aurelius: A Guide for the Perplexed, Epictetus's Encheiridion: A New Translation and Guide to Stoic Ethics, and Stoic Ethics: Epictetus and Happiness as Freedom.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Laura Thomas' work, especially her Bite of Betrayal series. Ribbons of Guilt takes the suspense to almost thriller level. Listen in and see why I can't wait to find out what's coming next! (I mean, I've already read this so... note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. My review (from my advance reader copy from the publisher). With more twists and turns than a pirouette, Laura Thomas sets the stage for a heart racing story that begins in beauty and builds to a crescendo you pray won't come. In her signature style, Laura layers secrets and sinister situations into one impossible-to-put-down novel. Romantic suspense rises to the next level as Leo and Harriet wrestle not only with the strange events taking their lives hostage but also the possible death of a marriage neither is ready to give up on. Or are they? Stock up on snacks and drinks before you sit down to read, because once you pick up this book, you'll be the next hostage--to the next page! Ribbons of Guilt by Laura Thomas A marriage in crisis. A betrayer in the wings. A life at stake. Harriet Duval has it all—a handsome French husband, a delightful young daughter, a successful career as a professional ballerina behind her, and a beautiful future in a charming village in the English countryside. Even her beloved sisters can't see the painful truth she hides beneath her perfect mask… Successful businessman Leo Duval is at a breaking point physically, emotionally, and spiritually as he is forced to harbor secrets in Paris while his marriage in England dissolves before his very eyes. The magnetic pull of Harriet's old dancing life and the shocking murder of a Swan Lake ballerina causes her to question everything: faith, future, family. When the killer begins targeting the Duval family, Leo and Harriet's vulnerable marriage is tested by an unimaginable traumatic event. Will the guilt they carry divide them when they need each other most? Learn more about Laura on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

Pitch and Power is The Globe and Mail's World Cup podcast. In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher's England was a country under strain, marked by industrial decline, social unrest and sharp political divides. In that climate, English soccer became a national problem rather than a point of pride. Stadiums crumbled, hooliganism spread and tragedy struck at Bradford, Heysel, and Hillsborough. The game felt like a relic: toxic, unsafe, unloved. Then, in the summer of 1990, something shifted. This episode traces how the 1990 World Cup helped detoxify English soccer and reframe national identity. We look at how an improbable tournament run became a cultural moment that opened the door to Britpop on the radio, “Cool Britannia” in the headlines and the Premier League era that followed. This is the story of a sport crawling out of the wreckage and a country finding a new way to love its national team. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Shortly after the end of World War II, free voices returned to Prague's radio studios. However, hopes for independent broadcasting were soon wiped out by the arrival of the Cold War and the Iron Curtain. Within a few years, Czechoslovak Radio's international broadcasts had been transformed into a strategic weapon, tasked with spreading a particular message to every corner of the globe.

Explore the enigmatic realm of unidentified flying objects through three rare, obscure photographs that have intrigued UFO researchers, skeptics, and conspiracy enthusiasts. Captured in a time before digital editing, these images—from snowy Poland, wartime China, and sunny Italy—defy simple explanations and hint at extraterrestrial observers challenging our reality.MF Thomas starts by honoring the infamous 1975 Billy Meier photo from Switzerland: a silver disc "beamship" that inspired The X-Files' "I Want to Believe" poster. Debunked as a hoax with models, strings, and confirmed by his ex-wife Kalliope and experts like Joe Nickell, it contrasts with the episode's more resilient cases.In Part 1, travel to 1959 Muszyna, Poland, where Dr. Stanislaw Kowalczewski photographed a flattened oval UFO during a winter holiday. Emerging from a yellow-orange cloud as a luminous orb, it appeared as a dark saucer on film. Experts in Warsaw papers like Stolica affirmed it 90% likely a self-luminous flying saucer. Linked to Polish UFO lore like Gdynia and Emilcin, it faded under Soviet secrecy—alien craft or artifact?Part 2 delves into WWII Pacific Foo Fighters, focusing on the 1942 Hopeh UFO photo from Tianjin, China, under Japanese occupation. This street-level shot shows a domed silver disc overhead, with pointing pedestrians. Ufologist Shi Bo attributes it to an American witness; analyses dismiss planes or shells. Tied to sightings like Sergeant Brickner's 150+ wobbling objects over Tulagi, it anchors Asian UFO history.In Part 3, relive Italian pilot Giancarlo Cecconi's 1979 Treviso encounter. Radar spotted an erratic object with a blue trail; Cecconi snapped 80+ photos of a 25-foot matte-black cigar-shaped craft with a dome, maneuvering at 300 mph. Backed by witnesses and researcher Antonio Chiumiento, who uncovered potential Ministry cover-ups. Parallels include Chiles-Whitted (1948), RB-47 (1957), and Gemini 4 (1965) cylinders.For all references and music, visit https://www.mydarkpath.com/78-historical-ufo-photosBuy MF Thomas' novels on Amazon.

Danny is an independent researcher. He is the founder of Code of Reality (COR), an interdisciplinary initiative that explores what he calls Cognitive Physics: the fertile territory where mind and matter meet. He is essentially asking, "what is the physics of cognition?". COR convenes scientists, philosophers, technologists, and indigenous wisdom-keepers in collaborative investigations designed to blur the line between observer and observed. By fostering dialogue across disciplines normally siloed from one another, COR serves as both a research hub and a cultural bridge, advancing a holistic science of consciousness that can thrive alongside mainstream physics.

Four students, three floors, a few minutes before dawn — and a theory that refuses to die: no single person could have pulled it off. This episode takes the Idaho murders timeline apart and shows why Bryan Kohberger did this alone. We tackle the impossible math the doubters repeat, the scrubbed-scene story that traces back to a TV special the lead investigators called flat-out false, and the screaming that points to one violent struggle with the one victim who was still awake — the same struggle that explains how the sheath got left behind. Every absence the doubters point to — no blood trail, a spotless car, a wiped phone — turns out to read like method, not mystery, and we explain why. Then the digital trail. A phone that haunted that tower after dark, over and over, in the months before. A blackout wrapped around the murders, right after he'd been listening to the police scanner. A white Elantra circling and speeding off. And then, the day after November 13, nothing — the entire pattern gone. We finish on the morning after, and the thing he did with his phone that no innocent explanation covers. This is the one-person case laid out brick by brick, for anyone who's been told it can't be true. Find the second killer in here. We'll wait.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Freedom in a Captive World We call it freedom—but so much of modern life leaves us addicted, distracted, anxious, and owned. Captured by screens. Approval. Consumption. Politics. Fear. Jesus offers a different kind of freedom: not the freedom to do whatever we want, but freedom from the things that quietly enslave us. ginghamsburg.org

Geoffrey Wawro, guest author, explains that in 1970, Nixon ordered an incursion into Cambodia to destroy NVA supply dumps and the Ho Chi Minh Trail extensions. While US forces captured significant materiel, the NVA simply withdrew deeper into the interior and rebuilt their supply lines shortly after the Americans left. This widening of the war triggered unprecedented domestic protests, most notably at Kent State, where National Guard troops killed four students. Despite the outcry, Nixon found support among the "Silent Majority" and working-class "hard hats" who loathed the anti-war movement. The Cambodian operation exemplified the mismatch between the US desire for a quick victory and the NVA's strategic patience. Ultimately, the incursion failed to cut the trail permanently as the NVA adapted by establishing new routes through Laos to compensate for the losses. The Vietnam War: A Military History (6)

If you love haunted history, real investigations, and locations with a dark past, this is an episode you won't want to miss. The **Old Licking County Jail** in Newark, Ohio, has become one of the Midwest's most talked-about haunted locations. Built in the late 1800s, the jail housed inmates for well over a century and witnessed countless stories of violence, tragedy, despair, and death. Like many historic jails, its walls have absorbed generations of human emotion, leaving many to wonder whether some of those spirits never truly left. During our conversation, Heath takes us through the fascinating history of the jail, explaining how it operated, what daily life was like for inmates, and why the building has earned a reputation for paranormal activity. He shares stories of former prisoners, reports of executions, and the difficult conditions that existed within the aging structure. Of course, history is only part of the story. Heath discusses some of the most compelling paranormal experiences reported by investigators and visitors alike. Shadow figures moving through empty cell blocks, unexplained voices echoing through deserted hallways, footsteps with no visible source, mysterious cold spots, and intelligent responses captured during investigations are just a few of the phenomena that have made the Old Licking County Jail a destination for paranormal enthusiasts from across the country. We also dive into Heath's experiences as a member of **Trapped Inside Paranormal**, discussing how the team approaches investigations with both an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism. Rather than jumping to conclusions, the team focuses on documenting evidence, ruling out natural explanations, and allowing the history of each location to guide the investigation. One of the highlights of the interview is hearing Heath describe some of the most memorable moments he's personally experienced inside the jail. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, the stories are fascinating and offer a glimpse into what makes this location so unique. As always, we also spend time discussing the importance of preserving historic buildings. Locations like the Old Licking County Jail are more than just haunted attractions—they're important pieces of American history that tell the stories of the people who lived, worked, and, in many cases, died within their walls. We'd like to thank the organizers of **FranknFest** for putting together another fantastic event and for giving us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people from the paranormal community. Events like these allow us to connect with investigators, authors, researchers, and listeners who all share a passion for exploring the unknown. If you've ever investigated the Old Licking County Jail—or plan to in the future—we'd love to hear about your experiences. Have you seen a shadow figure? Captured an EVP?

Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell, explains that prisoner exchanges were based on 18th-century European customs that sought to prevent the execution or enslavement of captured enemies. Armies used a calculus to trade soldiers, such as equating one colonel to twenty privates to ensure equity. When capture numbers were uneven, the parole system allowed surplus soldiers to return home on the condition they not fight until formally exchanged. This formalized process aimed to keep warfare humane and efficient for both sides until political tensions arose. (2)1865
For a lot of Americans right now, Taylor Swift getting married will genuinely feel like a bigger event than America turning 250. This sounds absurd. One is a quarter-millennium celebration of a nation founded in revolution, the other is the wedding of a pop star and an NFL player. But culture has never been driven by pure logic. It runs on emotion, attention and what people relate and connect with. Taylor Swift isn't simply the world's biggest pop star. She's arguably the defining cultural figure of her generation. Millions have grown up with her music, followed every era of her career and built friendships around shared fandom. Her wedding to Travis Kelce, isn't just another celebrity wedding, or some celebrity gossip, for many fans it is a shared life milestone. Americans have always created their own version of royalty through celebrity, and there isn't another American couple today who attract the same combination of admiration, curiosity and cultural influence. Compare this with America's 250th celebration. In another era, a big birthday would have united the country, but instead it's taking place during a moment of deep political and social division. President Trump has put his stamp on things, making a national celebration feel political rather than patriotic. Add lingering concerns about inflation, uncertainty over America's role in conflicts overseas and declining trust in institutions, and the country just isn't in a celebratory mood. Regardless of where people stand politically, there's a sense the nation is tired. Into that fatigue struts Miss Americana. A wedding is simple. It's joyful. It's romantic. Nobody has to pick a side. Nobody has to argue about foreign policy or economic indicators. For a brief moment, people can collectively obsess over a dress, a guest list and a love story. America at 250 asks citizens to reflect on who they are, where they've come from and where they're heading. The Taylor and Travis wedding asks them to celebrate happiness. The next 250 years, obviously, won't be defined by a wedding or the anniversary celebrations this weekend - that will depend on the choices America makes after the fireworks have faded. In two and a half centuries, the United States has grown from a fragile democratic experiment into the world's largest economy, a military superpower and a cultural force whose music, films, technology and ideas have shaped the modern world. That the next chapter goes as well is far from guaranteed. In the short term, America faces familiar challenges: political division, rising debt, economic uncertainty, social inequity and an increasingly volatile world. Longer term, the stakes are even higher. Can America remain a global leader in energy, tech, AI, political influence and military power? Can it rebuild trust in its democratic institutions? And can it balance competition with China and avoid further conflicts which could define this century? These are big, scary, uncertain, contested questions, and matter a whole lot more than the one to which Travis and Taylor will respond ‘I do'. But in an age where attention is the world's most valuable currency, it's not surprising it's the love story that's captured more hearts - and headlines - than one of the most significant anniversaries in American history. Sometimes, it just feels right to take a moment and let yourself be happy. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Q&A session will be conducted in English. Book club link: https://luma.com/buwyzrkk 【聊了什么The What】 本期节目,我们和老朋友Nancy一起深度剖析HBO高口碑偶像群像剧《The Pitt》(匹兹堡医院前线)。作为一部医疗剧,这部剧像继承之战一样,成了了解当下美国最重要的文本之一。从为了获得保险而选择失能的糖尿病父亲,到潜伏在急诊室门外的移民局(ICE)探员,我们聊聊那个被称为"坑底"的急诊室如何成为社会最后的防线。 当黑客攻击让全院电子病历停摆,医疗系统回归最原始的纸笔沟通,这究竟是技术的倒退还是人性的回归?我们借此深入探讨美国医疗系统的底层逻辑:为什么效率提升了,医生却更累了?为何这一季变得更“不好看”了?当意义感在日复一日的文书工作中磨损,我们该如何自我救赎? In this episode, we're joined by our old friend Nancy for an in-depth discussion of HBO's critically acclaimed ensemble drama The Pitt. As a medical drama, the show has become, much like Succession, one of the most important texts for understanding contemporary America. From a diabetic father who chooses disability in order to obtain insurance, to ICE agents lurking outside the emergency room, we discuss how the ER becomes society's last line of defense. When a cyberattack shuts down the hospital's electronic medical records system and forces the medical system back to the most primitive form of communication — pen and paper — is this a technological regression, or a return to humanity? From there, we dig into the underlying logic of the American healthcare system: Why are doctors more exhausted even as efficiency improves? Why has this season become “less entertaining”? And when a sense of meaning is worn down by the daily grind of paperwork, how can we save ourselves? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 - 背景:诺亚·怀尔与《ER》后的跨时代野心 10:28 - 群像之光:从自闭症医生到按时下班的争议实习生 34:26 - 从糖尿病父亲的悲剧聊聊美国医疗系统是为什么这么差 43:21 - 主演在国会山推动保护医护人员法案 51:31 - 意义感的磨损:第二季为何由爽剧转向压抑? 59:43 - 场外争议:少数族裔角色离场与好莱坞系统性偏见的互文 70:26 - 昂贵的电子病历:奥巴马时期的法案如何塑造了今日的冗余官僚 76:46 - AI Can Never:人类的缺陷与温情不可取代 84:23 - 夏威夷古老祷文:I love you, thank you, I forgive you, please forgive me 00:00 - Background: Noah Wyle's cross-generational ambition after ER 10:28 - The brilliance of the ensemble: From an autistic doctor to the controversial intern who “leaves on time” 34:26 - From the tragedy of a diabetic father to why the American healthcare system is so broken 43:21 - The lead actor's advocacy on Capitol Hill for legislation protecting healthcare workers 51:31 - The erosion of meaning: Why Season 2 shifts from a “satisfying drama” to something darker and more oppressive 59:43 - Off-screen controversy: The departure of minority characters and its connection to systemic bias in Hollywood 70:26 - Expensive electronic medical records: How Obama-era legislation shaped today's redundant bureaucracy 76:46 - AI Can Never: Human flaws and warmth are irreplaceable 84:23 - An ancient Hawaiian prayer: I love you, thank you, I forgive you, please forgive me 【拓展链接 The Links】 On ‘The Pitt,' E.R.

In this episode, Jason Henneberry, founder of Dependency Design and senior partner in a national Canadian mortgage brokerage with over 600 professionals, shares the story of a career that has spanned market peaks, a near-bankruptcy in 2008, a dramatic rebuild, and a bold acquisition spree that captured 2% of the Canadian mortgage market in 12 months.

Story 3 — Earth's Oldest Asteroid Crater Dated to 3 Billion Years: Curtin University researchers precisely date the North Pole Dome impact structure in Western Australia's Pilbara region to 3.024 billion years ago — the oldest known impact crater on Earth, beating the next oldest by ~800 million years. Published in Geology, June 23 2026. Story 4 — Super-Puff Planets Lighter Than Cotton Candy: An Oxford-led international team confirms TOI-791 b and c — two Jupiter-sized exoplanets with densities lower than cotton candy (0.038 and 0.047 g/cm³), making them the lowest-density giant planets ever found. Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, June 26 2026. Story 5 — SpaceX Falcon 9 Upper Stage to Impact Moon on August 5: A spent Falcon 9 upper stage from the January 2025 Blue Ghost / Hakuto-R launch is on course to strike the Moon near Einstein Crater on August 5 2026.

Your Day Off @Hairdustry; A Podcast about the Hair Industry!
Universe Walker: Beauty Desk AI and the AI Receptionist Built for the Beauty IndustryShe took a coding class at Princeton, built a prototype, and created the first AI receptionist designed specifically for salons by someone who actually runs one.Corey sits down with Universe Walker (@universewalkerismyname), Bay Area hairstylist, owner of Knuckleheads and Harlots in Oakland and Scarlet Salon in Berkeley, and founder of Beauty Desk AI. The conversation covers how she built Eve, what Eve actually does, and what the future of AI in the beauty industry looks like.Why She Built ItAfter COVID, Universe was running two salons bicoastal without front desk. New clients were calling and she was missing them. She knew she was leaving money on the table every day. When AI voice technology started to emerge she saw exactly what the industry needed. She took a coding class at Princeton, built a crude chatbot prototype, and knew she was onto something. It took years to build it properly but Beauty Desk AI is now out of beta with real customers and real results.What Eve DoesEve is an AI receptionist that answers incoming voice calls and texts from clients. Clients call your salon number like they always would. Eve answers, handles the full conversation, checks availability, describes services and pricing by stylist, books the appointment, sends a confirmation text, and manages the cancellation policy. Everything lives in one dashboard where you can see every interaction, turn Eve off and take over yourself, and track revenue in real time. Eve also works alongside existing front desk, stepping in after hours, on snow days, or when reception is busy with someone in the salon.Eve vs. Eve PlusEve handles all incoming voice and text communication without integrating into a booking platform. Eve Plus connects directly with Square for real-time availability and booking. More booking platform integrations are in progress. Head to beautydeskai.com to find out which option fits your business.The Live DemoCorey called Eve live on the podcast. Eve picked up on the first ring, walked him through service options for Scarlet Salon, described Ryan and Sierra's specialties, confirmed a Friday four PM appointment with Sierra, and texted a booking link before the call ended. It is in the episode. Worth listening to.Built for EveryoneEve works for solo suite owners, small salons, large salons, barbershops, and spas. Multi-location operators are on the roadmap. Universe built the architecture to use fewer AI tokens than most competitors, which keeps costs down and reduces environmental impact.Find Beauty Desk AI at beautydeskai.com

Long before The Ransom Note had a name. Long before Team Love had a manifesto. Dave was always there. Usually near the speakers. Two festivals, one philosophy. When Love International made its pilgrimage to Rainbow Disco Club, it wasn't simply a case of a Croatian institution touching down in Asia – it was two kindred spirits recognising themselves in each other. Born in Tokyo in 2010, Rainbow Disco Club has always operated under a single guiding concept: “Beyond Space and Time” – a commitment to authentic underground music that transcends genre, geography and trend. Alongside these club nights in Tokyo the annual event as you'll likely know, takes place in the Japanese countryside of Shizuoka's Izu Peninsula/ Love International, meanwhile, as many of you will also likely know, draws a loyal family of returning artists, crews and ravers to the shores of Tisno each summer for what amounts to a celebration of sun, music and community. Different latitudes, identical heartbeats. And yes – before you ask – we did make him answer questions about rainbows… WhatsApp Image 2026-06-10 at 21.00.26 (12) We've known Dave Harvey a long time. Long enough that neither of us is entirely sure when it started – somewhere in the blur of the 90s, in rooms that probably no longer exist, with people we're still lucky enough to call friends. Long before The Ransom Note had a name. Long before Team Love had a manifesto. Back when it was just about getting to the right room on the right night and staying as long as humanly possible. Dave was always there. Usually near the speakers. Watching what he's built since then – and more importantly, how he's built it, with the same unguarded enthusiasm he had at the very beginning – has been one of the genuine pleasures of growing up in and around this ‘scene' together. Because the thread has always been consistent. Whether as a DJ, programmer, promoter, or raver, there are few dancefloors he hasn't graced, and fewer still where he hasn't left some kind of mark. Since cutting his teeth in those 90s rooms, he's built an inimitable sound that moves freely between house, techno, breaks and electro, EBM, wonky chuggers and disco-infused oddities – often all within the same set. Here he is, doing exactly that. Captured live at Rainbow Disco Club, in case you needed any further evidence. The rest, we'll let the colours speak for themselves. @loveintfestival @rainbowdiscoclub @futureboogie
The vehicle's event data recorder documented the accelerator at full capacity, zero brake application, and a direct trajectory into a commercial building in Strongsville, Ohio at approximately one hundred miles per hour. Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan were pronounced dead at the scene. Mackenzie Shirilla survived. The defendant never provided a statement to law enforcement and did not testify at trial. The case was built entirely on physical and digital evidence.The evidentiary foundation included the data recorder findings, prior threats documented in text messages — Shirilla told Russo weeks before the crash she would "crash this car right now" — and evidence that Shirilla had driven to the same dead-end road days before the fatal night. Monitored jail calls between the defendant and her mother Natalie Shirilla, conducted in a private coded language, were intercepted and decoded by investigators. According to prosecutors, the decoded communications revealed the defendant asking whether they could inform police she had experienced a seizure prior to the crash. The seizure theory — attributed to a blood pressure condition called POTS — became the defense's primary argument. The court rejected it, finding the defendant's actions "controlled, methodical, deliberate, intentional and purposeful."Post-conviction institutional records document thirty-six conduct violations in under three years at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, with guilty findings on thirty-two. Citations include unauthorized medication, altered prison clothing, contraband, refusing work assignments, and more than one hundred video visits with an unapproved former inmate conducted under another individual's name. On recorded calls, the defendant characterizes herself as the third person harmed and continues to describe the incident as a car accident. She has declined participation in institutional rehabilitation programs.The family's conduct compounds the post-conviction record. Natalie Shirilla stated on a monitored call that prison programs are intended for "people convicted of crimes like actual criminals." She characterized the Russo family as "evil." Steve Shirilla publicly challenged the evidence on a podcast while the court's written findings remain in the public record. His contract at Mary Queen of Peace School was not renewed by the Diocese of Cleveland following his appearance in Netflix's The Crash.Coffindaffer and Dreeke examine the complete behavioral arc — from the pre-crash threats and rehearsal drive through the decoded calls and institutional conduct — and assess whether anyone in the defendant's environment has provided genuine accountability at any stage.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Phil's perfectly timed movie blooper at the Colosseum gives the guys a hilarious opening to a much bigger point: empires rise, empires fall, but Christ's kingdom never shakes. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian connect ancient Rome's paganism to modern America's idols, from power and politics to screens and the new “religions” people build around personal freedom. Through Rome's ruins, modern America's chaos, and the steady faith of the early church, the guys point back to the kingdom of God as the only power that survives every age. In this episode: Daniel 7; Hebrews 12; Daniel 2; 1 John; 2 John; 3 John; Joshua 24, verse 15; 1 Thessalonians; Matthew 5. Today's conversation is about Lesson 9 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.

(6) Bob Zimmerman shares the backstory of the iconic Earthrise photo and the legendary Christmas Eve broadcast. He clarifies that while there was friction over who took the photograph, Bill Anders captured the famous color version. For the broadcast, which reached the largest audience in history, Frank Borman rejected PR advice and instead chose to read from Genesis. The guest notes that this choice aimed to share a message of universal goodwill that transcended specific religions. The reading brought a hush over the world, concluding with the famous sign-off wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone on the "good earth."1955
Josh Ireland recounts how Ramon Mercader used a mountaineer's ice pick to fatally wound Trotsky inside his study. Captured by guards, Ramon maintained a web of lies to conceal his true role as a Soviet operative. (7/16)1917
SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW-5-25-2026.1789 NEW YORK.Guest Author Josh Ireland discusses his book The Death of Trotsky: The True Story of the Plot to Kill Stalin's Greatest Enemy. The Russian Revolution began with Bolshevik fanatics using violence to impose their will on the masses. Irelandexplains the emerging rivalry between Trotsky and Stalin amidst the brutal purge of original revolutionaries. (1/16)In The Death of Trotsky, Josh Ireland describes how the intellectual Trotsky and bureaucratic Stalin competed for power following Lenin's death. Stalin maneuvered patiently to isolate Trotsky, who missed Lenin's funeral while recovering from a mysterious and poorly timed illness. (2/16)Josh Ireland explains that Trotsky was expelled from the Politburo after labeling Stalin the "gravedigger of the revolution." He began a global exile, eventually finding sanctuary in Mexico at the invitation of muralist Diego Rivera. (3/16)Josh Ireland details how, in Mexico, Trotsky faced constant threats from Stalin's assassins. Despite the fortified walls of his compound, the NKVD relentlessly monitored his correspondence and successfully infiltrated his inner circle with undercover agents. (4/16)Josh Ireland recounts how the Mercader family, led by the radicalized Caridad, was recruited by the NKVD during the Spanish Civil War. Her son Ramon was trained as a ruthless agent capable of carrying out high-stakes assassinations. (5/16)Josh Ireland describes how Ramon Mercader seduced Sylvia Ageloff to penetrate Trotsky's inner circle under a false identity. Meanwhile, a chaotic machine-gun raid by Stalinist gunmen failed to kill Trotsky, leading to even tighter security measures. (6/16)Josh Ireland recounts how Ramon Mercader used a mountaineer's ice pick to fatally wound Trotsky inside his study. Captured by guards, Ramon maintained a web of lies to conceal his true role as a Soviet operative. (7/16)Josh Ireland explains that following Trotsky's death, Ramon served twenty years in a Mexican prison before returning to Moscow as a hero. Trotsky's wife, Natalia, lived a diminished final chapter after losing her entire family. (8/16)Guest Author Edward J. Larson discusses his book Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters. The unprovoked burning of Norfolk, Virginia, by the Royal Navy in January 1776 served as a catalyst for independence. This violence convinced many colonists that reconciliation with the British Crown was impossible. (9/16)In Declaring Independence, Edward J. Larson describes how Henry Knox executed a daring winter transport of heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. This logistical feat allowed Washington to fortify Dorchester Heights, forcing the British to evacuate the city. (10/16)Edward J. Larson recounts how Washington attempted to defend New York against a massive British armada. The Howe brothers tried to negotiate a peace deal, but American commitment to independence remained firm despite the overwhelming force. (11/16)Edward J. Larson explains that George Mason drafted the Virginia Declaration of Rights while Washington realized he must preserve his army through retreat. The revolution shifted toward establishing independent state governments based on popular sovereignty. (12/16)Edward J. Larson details how, during a grueling retreat through New Jersey, Thomas Paine's The American Crisisrevitalized colonial spirits. British and Hessian atrocities against civilians further alienated the population and strengthened the resolve for independence. (13/16)Edward J. Larson recounts how Abigail Adams urged her husband to "remember the ladies" during the debates over independence. Revolutionary ideals of equality began to raise significant questions regarding the status of women and enslaved people. (14/16)Edward J. Larson describes how Washington led a desperate Christmas crossing of the Delaware River to surprise the Hessians at Trenton. The subsequent victory at Princeton provided the moral triumph needed to sustain the struggling Continental Army. (15/16)Edward J. Larson explains that the formal signing of the Declaration of Independence marked a permanent break with monarchy. New state constitutions prioritized popular sovereignty, establishing the rule of law as the foundation of the Republic. (16/16)
