The captain of the HMS Hermione was a sadist even by the not-very-high standards of the British Royal Navy in the 1700's. He was a prolific flogger, subjecting his crew to the cat-of-nine-tails. It was hardly a surprise when his crew rose up and mutinied. Even if the British Navy couldn't for one second let them get away unpunished.This is the brutal and bloody story of Britain's most horrific mutiny, told by the one and only Dan Snow!This episode was edited by Anna Brant.

Episode Summary: Summer is supposed to be the season of sunshine, vacations, and smiling social media photos—but for many people, it’s when depression quietly deepens. If you’ve ever felt more anxious, lonely, or emotionally exhausted during the summer months, you are not imagining it—and you are not alone. In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we’re talking about summertime sadness, why depression and mental health struggles can actually spike during summer, and what brain science, psychology, and Scripture reveal about this misunderstood phenomenon. Whether you’re battling low mood, disrupted sleep, increased comparison, or the pressure to “feel happy,” this conversation will help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body—and how God meets you with hope even in the brightest seasons. Today, we’re going to talk about Summertime Sadness: Why Depression Can Spike in Summer and How to Find Hope. Quotables from the episode: Summer often comes with an unspoken expectation: you should be happy right now. Longer days, family gatherings, beach trips, and backyard barbecues can amplify joy—or they can magnify grief, loneliness, exhaustion, and depression. If summer feels heavier instead of lighter, this episode is for you. I want to say this clearly from the start: Struggling in summer does not mean you are broken. It does not mean your faith is weak. And it does not mean you’re failing at gratitude. And when we don’t talk about it, shame fills the silence. And when sleep suffers, mood regulation suffers. That is not a moral failure. That is your nervous system responding to environmental changes. God addresses emotional suffering with compassion, not condemnation. Biblical faith does not deny pain—it brings pain into the presence of God. Now let’s talk about hope—not as a feeling, but as a practice. First, restore rhythm before chasing relief.

In Medici Florence there were two ways of maintaining power - one was money and the other was murder. Isabella de' Medici was the believed daughter of the Medici patriarch, a patron of the arts and a sparkling wit. But that meant nothing to her own husband, who murdered her, or her own brother, who turned a blind eye.Maddy and Anthony are joined by Estelle Paranque author of numerous books, including most recently Thorns, Lust and Glory: the Betrayal of Anne Boleyn.This episode was edited by Amy Haddow.

On the Saturday August 1, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet award-winning documentary filmmaker, director, producer, and editor Alison Elwood. Her standout music documentaries include the Emmy-nominated "Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time," the Critics' Choice Award-winning "The Go-Go's," "Let the Canary Sing" about Cyndi Lauper, and the acclaimed History of the Eagles. Her latest film is "Boy George & Culture Club." Then, we'll meet writer, screenwriter, and copywriter Edward Chisholm. His new book, “Murder in Paris '68,” is a work of narrative non-fiction that dives into the unsolved murder of Stevan Markovic, the Serbian bodyguard and associate of French film star Alain Delon. It was an immense scandal at the time, and Edward's book captures the whole story.

This is how these young engineers envision Jacksonville, a coastal city in Florida in the next 100 years.这就是这些年轻工程师对佛罗里达州沿海城市杰克逊维尔未来百年的设想。The model called Agua Prope, meaning clean water, was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston at the Future City Nationals in Washington DC.这款名为Agua Prope的模型寓意为"洁净之水"，由休斯顿中学生团队在华盛顿特区举办的未来城市全国总决赛中展示。The students' goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.学生们的目标是建造一座拥有清洁可靠供水系统的城市。Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populated city, where water shortages and access to clean water are a persistent problem.休斯顿队的许多队员都来自巴基斯坦最大且人口最多的城市卡拉奇，那里长期面临水资源短缺和难以获得清洁用水的问题。Karachi right now is very behind, unlike America. A lot of people are on the streets, they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water needing any money. It's very hard to even like take showers over there.卡拉奇现在非常落后，和美国不一样。很多人流落街头，他们没有水喝，或者只能喝被污染的水，而且身无分文。在那里连洗澡都很难。And now go to Karachi for example, there's a lot of water shortage and power shortage.以卡拉奇为例，那里严重缺水缺电。For example, the water there costs a lot, and sometimes it's contaminated, sometimes which causes problems such as diarrhea, people getting sick and much more, and you don't have water in the house for days.那里的水价格昂贵，而且有时还会受到污染，这会导致腹泻、人们生病等问题，甚至家中几天都没有水可用。The government in Karachi says the city supplies only half of the water it needs daily. The consequences of Pakistan's water problems are tragic.卡拉奇政府表示该市每日供水量仅为需求量的一半。巴基斯坦水资源问题的后果是悲剧性的。UNICEF reports every year 53,000 children die of diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water.联合国儿童基金会报告称，每年有5.3万名儿童因饮用受污染的水而死于腹泻。Students on the Houston team say their model includes a robust system that monitors supply and demand, storage, filtration, and diversion of conventional as well as flood waters across the Jacksonville landscape.休斯顿团队的学生们表示，他们的模型包含一套强大系统，可监测杰克逊维尔地区常规用水与洪水的供需动态、存储情况、过滤处理及分流调度。Our project is Agua Prope, located in Jacksonville, Florida, so the main problem in Jacksonville are storm surges, hurricanes and floods.我们的项目Agua Prope位于佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市，该地区主要面临风暴潮、飓风和洪水问题A lot of problems actually internationally going on right now are that many people are not having access to water.当前国际上确实存在许多问题，很多人无法获得水资源。And a lot of people that do have access to water are drinking contaminated water that has like birth defects and like cancer-related issues.许多能获得水的人喝的是受污染的水，这些水会导致出生缺陷和癌症等问题。And they're also a coastal city. So we know how to generate power.他们也在一座沿海城市，所以我们知道如何发电。Organizers say some models are actually implemented. We had a team that actually won the National Finals a few years ago.组织者表示，部分模型已实际投入使用。我们几年前有一支队伍真的赢得了全国总决赛。And then as part of an unrelated mission trip with their church, they actually helped install a water filtration system in the Dominican Republic.后来在一次与教会无关的宣教之旅中，他们实际上在多米尼加共和国帮忙安装了一个水过滤系统。And so we're not only asking our participants to think about these challenges, but also empowering them in their solutions.我们不仅要求参与者思考这些挑战，还让他们有能力去解决这些问题。Agua Prope model won the People's Choice Award based on voting by the general public, and the Best Futuristic City award.Agua Prope模型凭借公众投票赢得了人民选择奖以及最佳未来城市奖。This model calls for technology so advanced, it will be decades before it can be implemented.这一模型需要极其先进的技术，要等到数十年后才能实现。But the students say they hope one day within the next 50 years, their vision of a clean water city will become a reality.但学生们表示，他们希望在未来50年内的某一天，他们所设想的清洁水城能够成为现实。

If a brand is no longer what a company says it is, but the sum of every experience a customer has, what does that mean for the marketing department's role in the organization?Agility requires more than just adapting to market changes; it demands a fundamental shift from broadcasting a message to engineering an experience. It requires a willingness to unlearn old definitions of brand and embrace a new reality where customer perception is the ultimate truth.Today, we're going to talk about what some are calling a "reformation" in branding. It's a move away from the traditional model of logos, slogans, and campaigns, and toward a new understanding where the brand is the cumulative effect of every single customer interaction. This shift has massive implications for organizational structure, strategy, and how we measure success.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Lou Carbone, Professor of Practice, Michigan State University & Founder/Chief Experience Officer at Experience Engineering.

The revised fig book is now on Kickstarter The special hardcover edition of Grow Figs Where You Think You Can't and registration for the October 15 and 22 Fig Camp are available now. A lower-priced softcover will follow this fall. See the book and Fig Camp options.---Food plants are usually assigned to the vegetable patch, while ornamental borders are expected to sit there and look respectable. Garden designer Harry Holding sees no good reason for such strict garden zoning.Harry is the author of Eat Your Garden: Edimentals as a Beautiful, Low-Effort Way to Grow Food. Edimentals are plants that are both edible and ornamental, allowing us to grow food throughout a garden without giving up colour, texture, structure, or beauty. Harry is the founder of Harry Holding Studio, and his School Food Matters Garden at the 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show received a Silver-Gilt medal and the People's Choice Award. In this conversation, Harry explains how edible plants can create a foraging or grazing experience right outside the door. We talk about designing in layers, using constraints to make plant choices easier, and creating ecologically rich plant communities that cover the soil and leave less room for weeds.Harry also shares ideas for small gardens, courtyards, balconies, and containers. His approach is to imagine the space planted first, then carve out the paths, seating areas, morning-coffee spots, and evening gin-and-tonic headquarters.We talk about:What an edimental plant is Why food can be a gateway to connecting with nature Combining edible plants with ornamental garden design Structural plants, seasonal highlights, and ground-cover layers Using colour, texture, height, and growing conditions as useful constraints Designing abundant edible gardens in small spaces Why annual vegetables sometimes struggle in established perennial plantings Questioning gardening rules and learning through experiments How to begin adding edimentals to an existing garden Harry also talks about some fascinating edible ornamentals, including Saskatoon berries, sea kale, sochan, king's spear, Korean aster, citron daylily, lamb's ear, hostas, chives, and bladder campion.His parting advice is simple: make a little room, try unfamiliar plants, and grow what brings you joy. A garden should not become another stern supervisor. It should be a place that makes your heart sing.

After the Russian Revolution in 1917, sex work was a prime example of what capitalism did to society. Under communism, sex work would no longer need to exist in society.Spoiler: it very much still existed.How were sex workers treated in Soviet Russia?

Ditching the salon for the spreadsheet might not seem like a traditional career path, but for Kirsty McKinnon of Flair Finance, it was the stepping stone to building one of regional NSW's most successful brokerages. Having recently taken home the Editor's Choice Award for NSW/ACT at the Better Business Awards 2026, the Dubbo-based broker has built a high-volume business based entirely on customer comfort and deep community connections. In this episode of Elite Broker, host Annie Kane sits down with McKinnon to find out how she transitioned from an admin role to running a booming brokerage, why she operates her business from client-friendly cottage, and how she manages a team of five to write nearly a loan a day. Tune in to find out: How she structures a five-person support team, including a dedicated full-time compliance manager. Why she bypasses traditional marketing entirely to rely solely on word-of-mouth referrals. Her long-term vision to build a true "one-stop shop". And much more!

On Monday, Jenny Racicot, a former girlfriend of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D), accused him of raping her in 2021. Politico, which first published the report, corroborated aspects of Racicot's account after speaking with a man whom Racicot dated after Platner, as well as reviewing messages between her and her therapist and an acquaintance. Platner denied the accusation but said he is “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.” A significant number of Congressional Democrats, including many lawmakers who previously endorsed Platner, have called on him to drop out of the race.

Episode Summary: Father’s Day can be a complicated day—one that quietly reopens wounds many people work hard to keep closed. While social media fills with tributes to loving dads, laughter around backyard grills, and heartfelt cards, there are countless individuals listening today who feel something very different: grief over a father who has died, sadness for a relationship that never was, pain from abandonment or abuse, or longing for a father they never knew. If Father’s Day brings mixed emotions, confusion, or even dread, I want you to know - you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you. On this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we will gently explore why Father’s Day can be emotionally charged, how our experiences with our earthly fathers shape our emotional and spiritual lives, and - most importantly - how healing is possible. We will talk about how God meets us in the complexity, how He reveals Himself as the perfect Father when human fathers fall short, and how your story does not end with the wounds you’ve endured. We are talking about When Father’s Day Is Complicated: How to Heal from Wounds and Discover God as the Perfect Father Quotables from the episode: For many people, Father's Day isn't just a holiday. It's a trigger. Scripture reminds us that God is not intimidated by our complicated emotions. He invites honesty, not performance. That doesn't mean you're weak. It means you're human. Many people don't realize that their struggle to experience God as loving isn't a spiritual failure. It's often a relational wound. Recognizing this connection isn't about blaming. It's about understanding. One of the most important healing steps is learning to separate who God is from who your father was. God does not inherit the flaws of human fathers. Healing begins when we allow God to redefine fatherhood for us. God does not merely fill the gap. He heals the wound. Healing doesn't erase the past, but it loosens its grip. You are seen by a Father who delights in you, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. Scripture References: Matthew 7:9–11 “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Psalm 27:10 – “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.” Psalm 68:5 – that He is “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling.” Recommended Resources: Free Stress-Response Personality Assessment Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Fionnuala May, President of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, announces the winner of the RIAI Public Choice Award 2026.

Harper Steele talks about transitioning and the differences in how she experiences the world as a woman and how the world experiences her.  The differences in parenting, writing, and comedy. Trying to fight off who she really was for years. Her fears of being judged.  How finding her true self saved her life. How road trips are different. How being macho was an odd priority before. How that reflected her comedy. How a teacher started her writing. How the movie “Will & Harper” has affected other transpeople and how she has been mostly accepted by the world and completely accepted by her friends. Her love of thrift stores and vinyl records.  And our mutual love of The Eurovision Song Contest.  Bio: Harper Steele is a comedy writer who launched her career in 1995 at the renowned show "Saturday Night Live." For over thirteen years, she served the show in various capacities, eventually ascending to the position of head writer for four years. This period of her career was marked with a notable achievement, with Steele earning a Primetime Emmy Award in 2002. Following this, her creativity found a new platform at Funny or Die, where she assumed the role of creative director. Steele's writing prowess was not limited to television, as she contributed to the scripts of several films, including "Casa de mi padre," "The Ladies Man," and "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga." Alongside her writing career, she also served as an executive producer of HBO's "Funny or Die Presents." Her multifaceted career in comedy writing and production was depicted in the 2024 Netflix documentary "Will & Harper," which also explored Steele's gender transition and its impact on her friendship with longtime friend and collaborator Will Ferrell. The documentary "Will & Harper" received critical acclaim, premiering at the 40th Sundance Film Festival in January 2024 and earning a nomination for a People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Steele's comedic and political viewpoints, often referred to as "purple-haired woke," advocate for humor as a catalyst for positive change. Such viewpoints have earned her accolades within her industry circles, with Jimmy Fallon describing Steele as "one of the funniest people I think I've ever met in my lifetime."  Learn more about your ad choices.
