It's Page Six chaos, celebrity logic, and pure read-and-riff energy!Jared is on tour!
Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut In 1999 filmmaker Stanley Kubrick would shoot his final cinematic statement. Adapting a 1926 Freudian novella, Kubrick would (seemingly) explore the dark mysteries of sexual trafficking, secret societies, infidelity, and the paranoia inherent in all of it. A Psycho-Sexual Drama centered around a Masked Ball Orgy and images that would haunt the minds of popular culture, Kubrick's Final Film is troubling, but not for the reasons one may think. Heralded as his "Final Masterpiece" upon its release, Eyes Wide Shut has become far more relevant in the 27 years since its debut. The controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein has forged new relevance for Kubrick's swan song, presenting a narrative that far too many film, political, and social critics have latched onto with a misplaced fervor. Celebrated for the light it shines on the powers that control this world, the depravity of their sexual practices, and the honesty Kubrick is credited with exposing, the film is - in actuality - an obvious and simplistic handling of the material. This week Mr. Chavez & I examine Eyes Wide Shut with a focus on on the reality of Jeffrey Epstein, The Epstein Files, National & International Politics, Wealth, and the Ruling Classes. Take a listen for, yet, another discussion of this troubling narrative. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Our Continued Thanks.

Dumas's 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language--has minced no words--to describe the violent scenes of a violent time.In some instances facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others the author makes unwarranted charges. The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact. (From Publisher's Note.)The first volume comprises the annals of the Borgias and the Cenci. The name of the noted and notorious Florentine family has become a synonym for intrigue and violence, and yet the Borgias have not been without stanch defenders in history.Another famous Italian story is that of the Cenci. The beautiful Beatrice Cenci--celebrated in the painting of Guido, the sixteenth century romance of Guerrazi, and the poetic tragedy of Shelley, not to mention numerous succeeding works inspired by her hapless fate—will always remain a shadowy figure and one of infinite pathos.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger fires up the boardroom—no apologies. No watering down.The world says popularity is the prize. But Scripture? Scripture says, “If the world loves you… ask yourself why.”Leaders today are told to chase applause, likes, and comfort. But Christ called us to carry the cross, not chase the crowd.Opposition? It's not failure. It's confirmation. Ridicule, venom, backlash—those are the battle scars of obedience.You won't find easy faith here. You'll find faith that costs. Faith that stands. Faith that refuses to compromise.Jesus is still Lord—even when standing for Him draws fire from every corner.So, C-Suite leader, what will you do when your moment of truth arrives?Will you bend for applause, or stand for the King?“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." –John 15:18–19Episode Highlights:05:27 – Jesus draws a clear dividing line. Belonging to him automatically places you at odds with the world. There is no neutral ground. There is no option where faithfulness and universal approval coexist. If the world loves you, scripture tells us to ask why. All throughout the Bible, God's most faithful servants were rarely celebrated in their time. The prophets were ridiculed, imprisoned, threatened, and killed. Jeremiah was called a traitor. Elijah was hunted. John the Baptist was beheaded. The apostles were beaten, jailed, and executed—not because they were cruel or unkind, but because they spoke truth without compromise.12:15 – The absence of resistance isn't evidence of effectiveness. Often it's evidence of accommodation. And that's why when the world loves you, you should not celebrate. You should pause. You should reflect. You should be really, really nervous. There's a dangerous illusion in modern Christian leadership that says alignment with the world can coexist with faithfulness to God. It sounds reasonable. It feels strategic. It's often framed as wisdom. But scripture consistently rejects the idea that God shares allegiance with anyone or anything else.38:03 – Let this truth settle deep in your spirit. The goal of Christian leadership has never been to be liked. It's always been to be faithful. The applause of the world is fleeting, but the approval of God is eternal. One is going to fade, but the other will stand forever. If you're facing criticism because you refuse to compromise scripture, please, I implore you, take heart. You're not failing. You're standing.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
Did the Tudors celebrate Valentine's Day? And if so, what did it actually look like before chocolates, roses, and greeting cards? In this episode, we step into mid-February in Tudor England, that quiet stretch between Candlemas and the start of Lent, and explore how people marked St. Valentine's Day. From candlelit church processions and weather lore to love poems written in the Tower of London, we look at the real traditions behind the holiday. You'll hear about the medieval belief that birds chose their mates in mid-February, the Duke of Orléans writing a valentine from captivity, and Margery Brews' heartfelt love letter to John Paston. We'll also look at how Tudor households actually celebrated, from drawing valentines by lot to exchanging gloves, ribbons, and small gifts. It's a gentler, quieter kind of Valentine's Day, set in a world of church calendars, cold February mornings, and handwritten letters carried across the countryside. A small holiday, but one that brought a little warmth to the middle of winter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What an incredible weekend of sport, with the T20 Cricket World Cup, Super Rugby Pacific, and SailGP sweeping into Auckland – more on that in a minute - some of the world's best trail runners hit Rotorua for the Tarawera Premier Ultra-trail Marathon and the Winter Olympics continues to provide stunning performances, triumphs and disappointments, scandals and feel good moments. I've been interested in the chat around the Winter Olympics over the last week. The Winter Olympic Games is often criticised for being filled with elite, niche sports that struggle to capture broad public appeal. Unlike the Summer edition, which features globally accessible competitions like athletics, swimming and football, the Winter Games is based on disciplines which require specific climates, facilities, and funding. Sports such as biathlon (cross-country skiing and shooting), snowboard cross (kind of BMX racing for snowboarders), and curling are unfamiliar to many viewers outside Europe and North America. They demand snow tracks, ice rinks, and mountain ranges - resources unavailable in much of the world. As a result, participation is concentrated among a relatively small group of nations, reinforcing the perception that these are rarefied pursuits rather than widely played global sports. But for me, this exclusivity underscores why these athletes deserve celebration. Winter Olympians dedicate their lives to mastering extraordinarily demanding disciplines under harsh conditions. They train for years in sub-zero temperatures and in many cases risk injury at high speeds as they refine their skills in sports where success is often decided by fractions of a second or points. The limited global infrastructure for many of these sports makes reaching elite level even more impressive; pathways are narrower, funding scarcer, and margins for error smaller. That they are largely broadcast on pay tv in New Zealand also fuels the idea these sports aren't hugely common. But uncommon or not, if you've been watching over the last week, surely you'll agree the camera work has been spectacular and the events have been incredible to watch. My whole family have become obsessed with ice dancing and figure skating - and there have been some serious controversies and sides taken during the week, even though none of us could get ourselves around an ice rink. And really, isn't all sport at the top-end of competition elite - or as we like to call it ‘high performance sport'? On the global stage, rugby is niche. So is netball. The America's Cup is an elite sport, and the coast to coast this weekend attracts a small number of super athletes who will traverse the South Island. Doesn't make their accomplishments any less impressive. The Olympics exists not merely to platform the most popular sports, but to honour excellence at the highest level. That some of those sports are not broadly accessible does not diminish the skill required to compete. In the last week we've seen human resilience, sportsmanship, courage, and technical mastery - all done in what can be very challenging environments. So niche or not, our Kiwi athletes and their fellow competitors represent the pinnacle of their disciplines - and that alone warrants recognition and celebration.

In 1555, London celebrated the birth of a prince. Church bells rang. Te Deums were sung. Birth announcements were prepared. Only… there was no baby. Mary I didn't just believe she was pregnant, she showed physical signs. But there was no baby. In this video, I take a closer look at Mary I's two mysterious pregnancies - in 1554–55 and again in 1557–58 - and explore what may really have happened. Was it: • A genuine but failed pregnancy? • A phantom pregnancy (pseudocyesis) brought on by immense pressure to produce an heir? • Or something medical - possibly a pituitary tumour, as suggested by Milo Keynes? I examine the historical evidence, contemporary reports, Mary's long-standing health issues, and the medical theories that may explain her symptoms: missed periods, milk secretion, abdominal swelling, headaches, failing eyesight, depression, and confusion in her final year. If you haven't yet watched my full Beginner's Guide to Mary I, I recommend starting there for the wider context of her life and reign - https://youtu.be/P_HVywkSww0 If you enjoy thoughtful, evidence-based deep dives into Tudor lives and mysteries, don't forget to subscribe. #MaryI #BloodyMary #TudorHistory #PhantomPregnancy #Tudors #HenryVIII #ElizabethI #BritishHistory #WomenInHistory #HistoryExplained

Celebrated annually on December 8th as a solemn feast day, the Immaculate Conception’s observance began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. The Immaculate Conception is the dogma that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This doctrine states that Mary was preserved from the "stain of sin" from the first moment of her conception through a unique grace from God, granted in anticipation of her role as the mother of Jesus. The annual Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes was established in 1890 for February 11 by Pope Leo XIII. E263.

Shouldn't Love be Celebrated all year long?
Are your networking efforts actually building authentic connections—or just eating time?In this insightful SPEAKPact episode, learn why networking and leadership thrive on authentic connection, collaboration, and community, not just membership in groups.Discover how true transformational leaders leverage community support, sharing both triumphs and failures to build trust and inspire others.Creating accessible leadership communities allows for broader participation, continuous learning, and higher impact—including revenue growth.Understand that women, in particular, benefit from balancing wide networks with close inner circles, while every leader needs a champion in their power tribe.Uncover why effective networking requires giving as much as receiving, self-awareness, and the ability to identify key roles such as co-strivers and super connectors.Explore how regularly assessing, activating, and choosing the right power tribe ensures meaningful relationships that enhance both well-being and career success.Gain insight into how hard-won experience, authenticity, and vulnerability provide depth, meaning, and credibility in leadership and community engagement.Celebrated speaker agent, Antoniette Roze and Chairwoman of LeadHERship Global, Linda Fisk, explore the transformative power of networking and community in leadership. They discuss the importance of creating accessible leadership communities, particularly for women, and the science behind effective networking.Linda emphasizes the need for continuous learning, commitment, and the value of giving within a power tribe to foster success and personal growth. She highlights the significance of building authentic relationships in the speaking and corporate training industries.Antoniette and Linda discuss the importance of trust, the concept of a "power tribe," and the nine essential types of people who should be included in one's network. They emphasize the need for genuine connections, support, and the proactive activation of these relationships to foster personal and professional growth.Uncover:Connection comes first: Networking is more than joining groups—true growth comes from meaningful relationships and a sense of community.Collaboration drives leadership: Leaders make the biggest impact when they work together to tackle challenges.Accessibility matters: Creating spaces where everyone can participate strengthens the community and opens doors for wider influence.Learning together fuels success: Engaging with others in your network can spark growth in ways that individual effort alone cannot.Balance your circles: A mix of broad networks and close, trusted relationships creates stronger opportunities for advancement.Commitment counts: Meaningful engagement takes time and focus—what you put in determines what you get out.Awareness is key: Understanding yourself helps you connect and collaborate more effectively within your community.Trust is earned through openness: Sharing experiences, both wins and challenges, strengthens relationships and credibility.Give and receive: Networking works best when it's a two-way street: support others as much as you seek support.Keep learning: The landscape is always evolving—continuous curiosity and growth keep leaders relevant.Choose your people wisely: The right network can uplift, inspire, and open doors. Not all groups or connections provide the same value.Regularly engage and assess: Stay intentional about your relationships and ensure your connections remain active and...

We are back to talking Evermore (finally), and we're back with one of Taylor's most devastating songs: "Tolerate It." And you better sit down for this one. This song follows a woman who is completely overlooked by her (much older) partner, a story that has been told and retold both in literature and in Taylor's own discography. We travel to songs from "All Too Well" to "Dear John" to "Better Man" to "Bejeweled" to "High Infidelity" to "So Long London" and even "Opalite" and "Honey."

If you’ve been in Portland for a while, you’ve probably seen Mike Bennett’s artwork: It’s on the facade of the Wonderwood Restaurant & Indoor Mini Golf course. It’s on Trailblazer hats and Portland Timbers banners. It’s on road signs and beer cans. Now, the famous cartoonist and immersive space designer has launched a new video-podcast series that explores the animal kingdom for a youth audience. Every episode of “The Zooquarium Podcast” begins with a listener-submitted question — mostly from young kids — and the video element features animations in Bennett’s whimsical cartoon style. The first episode aired Tuesday, with a silly and science-backed conversation about sloth stool. Bennett joins us to share more about the origins and details of his new podcast. We’re also joined by his co-host, Chanel Hason, a marine biologist, science communicator and director of outreach and community relations at the Elakha Alliance.

Celebrated medium Helen Duncan was arrested on 19th January, 1944, when, midway through one of her séances, an undercover policeman dramatically revealed her "spirit" to be nothing more than… herself draped in white fabric. Initially charged with minor fraud, her case took a wild turn when she became the last woman imprisoned under the 1735 Witchcraft Act. Duncan's trial, steeped in wartime paranoia and media frenzy, spotlighted her peculiar career, from her regurgitated "ectoplasm" performances to an unfortunate séance where she revealed the sinking of a British warship, inadvertently ruffling governmental feathers. Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Duncan's "physical manifestations" worked (it's not for the faint-hearted); consider why public sentiment was on her side, even from Winston Churchill himself; and explain what happened to a controversial bronze bust of Duncan, initially donated to her hometown of Callander… Further Reading: • ‘The Strange, Freakish Story of Britain's 'Last Convicted Witch'' (Vice, 2017): https://www.vice.com/en/article/helen-duncan-the-strange-freakish-story-of-britains-last-convicted-witch/ • 'The truth about the UK's last witch Helen Duncan' (The National, 2018): https://www.thenational.scot/news/16209915.truth-uks-last-witch-helen-duncan/ • ‘Alan Crossley talks about his experiences of materialisation seances with Helen Duncan and Alec Harris' (The Psychic Times, 2007): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuEBASIrDGk Love the show?

Guest: Ronald White. After the war, Chamberlain became a celebrated orator, using his rhetorical skills to preach reconciliation between North and South. Drafted by Republicans, he served four terms as Governor of Maine, focusing on economic reconstruction and railroad expansion. However, his private life was marred by constant pain from his internal war wounds; he often had to work lying down and could not sit erect. This physical suffering, combined with his absences, strained his marriage to Fanny, who struggled with depression and the isolation of their life during his political years.1863 GETTYSBURG
