We are very excited to be joined by our colleague from the University of Jyväskylä, Bonn Juego. Bonn is a political economist, Senior Lecturer in International Development Studies, and the four-term Chair of the Finnish Society for Development Research (FSDR).Above all, Bonn considers himself a “student of capitalism”—investigating its political-economic, geopolitical, socio-ecological, and technological dimensions. His work bridges global political economy, heterodox economics, and post-colonialism, offering critical insights into the phenomena of “authoritarian neoliberalism” (i.e., a neoliberal economy embedded in the politics of authoritarianism) and “authoritarian populism” (i.e., the popular legitimacy given to anti-democratic personalities and practices), while contributing to conceptualizations of “securitization” (i.e., the dominance of security institutions and agents over societal spheres) and “just sustainability” (i.e., sustainable futures firmly grounded in the principle of justice).In this wide-ranging conversation, Bonn shares his personal and intellectual journey from the Philippines and Malaysia to Estonia, Denmark, and Finland, reflecting on his consciousness formation through lived experiences, progressive mentorship, and pivotal moments that shaped his worldview. He also expands our understanding of extractivisms today by sharing ideas from his contemporary endeavors and writings: examining rent-seeking and extractivist activities of governance elites and the oligarchic class; interrogating the historical-structural link of capitalist development with war and conflict, whereby valuable nature and human beings are prematurely disposed of and profitably transformed into wasted lives and into wasteful things; drawing on his recent policy study on worker and data extractivism in the interplay between labor and technology under conditions of competition-driven AI and other new technical innovations; and reflecting on his ongoing project studying the transnational recruitment and migration of Filipino nurses to the Finnish healthcare system—exposing the contradictions, devaluation, racialization, and inequalities in extractive transnational care relations and the crisis of social reproduction in both a Global South nation and a Nordic welfare state.Confronting complex global crises, Bonn leaves us with a reflexive framework for activist scholarship, taking a cue from Gramsci's “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” He makes an inspiring appeal to treat development studies as a prefigurative discipline of conscience—emphasizing means-ends consistency, everyday ethical action, and the indispensable power of collective movements in making a difference.Want to learn more about Bonn's work?

In Oklahoma, one out of every six residents is poor. One in five children lives in poverty and faces food insecurity. In Hungry Oklahoma: Confronting Poverty and Food Insecurity (U Oklahoma Press, 2026), native son and sociologist Robert Lee Maril follows in the tradition of the national bestsellers Nickel and Dimed and Evicted to illuminate the lived experience of poverty and food insecurity in communities across the state. Maril's account is immediately personal. He begins with "guests," as shoppers are called by volunteers, waiting in line in the sweltering heat one summer for "Thy Will Be Done," a food pantry, to open. Unable to afford air conditioning, some guests don't buy foods that would spoil on the counter. One woman, Norma, carefully places only canned vegetables in her cart. When she returns to her twenty-year-old pickup, in the truck bed are lawn chairs, blankets, and pans-everything she owns. "The landlord told us this morning we was homeless," Norma says. "I'm not thinking straight." Drawing on interviews and participant-observation data from his volunteer work at a food pantry, as well as census and sociological data, Maril documents in rich ethnographic detail the status of poverty and low-wage workers in the state today and within historical context. He explores how institutions-such as faith-based organizations, government, and food pantries-structure and shape experiences of poverty. While Maril celebrates the nonprofit and faith-based efforts that make a difference, this book also is critical of conditions and stereotypes that have entrenched poverty in the state. Hungry Oklahoma ultimately suggests that persistent and pervasive poverty can be eliminated. Its moving accounts of real Oklahomans and their experiences make it a clarion call for not only those interested in policy issues but all Oklahomans who want a better today and tomorrow for those who call the state home.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon provides a critical analysis of Dr. Anthony Fauci's recent testimony before a Senate committee, where he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights over 100 times, refusing to answer questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Solomon reflects on the implications of Fauci's silence, emphasizing the frustration felt by families who lost loved ones during the pandemic and the need for accountability in public health leadership.The episode features insights from Senator Josh Hawley, who reveals that Fauci was using government staff to apply for awards during the pandemic, raising ethical concerns about his actions. Solomon discusses the disturbing revelations from Fauci's diary and the ongoing scrutiny of his decisions, which many believe contributed to the suffering of countless Americans.Listeners will hear from Senator Ron Johnson, who shares his perspective on the hearing and the importance of transparency regarding Fauci's pandemic response. Dr. Peter McCullough, a medical expert who faced censorship for his views, joins the conversation to discuss the efficacy of treatments like ivermectin and the broader implications of government interventions in healthcare.Additionally, Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, outlines potential legal actions parents are considering against Fauci and federal health authorities for their handling of children's health during the pandemic.

Darkness Radio Presents Confronting Darkness: Face To Face With Evil with Paranormal Investigator/Psychic/Medium/Motivational Speaker/Exorcist, Richard P. Jackson! After moving into a renovated farmhouse many years ago with his then-young daughter, they experienced first-hand unsettling supernatural events. Richard P. Jackson's search for answers unexpectedly began his career and the awakening of his natural talents as a psychic, medium, and healer. Since then, Richard has worked on over 2,000 cases in the field of psychic investigation, mediumship, and with haunted people and places. He has often collaborated with the best professionals in related fields such as healing, parapsychology, clergy, and psychology to bring comfort and personal transformation in a multitude of situations, ranging from haunted people and places, bereavement, abduction experiences, psychic development, and understanding the deeper meaning behind life's events.Richard's insights and psychic photos have been published in several books; he has given hundreds of interviews on radio and television; and has been in several documentary films. As an Interfaith Minister and CT Justice of the Peace, along with his diverse life experiences and incredible spiritual gifts, Richard uniquely individualizes his work in a way that others can understand from the reference to their particular belief system. Over the past decade, much of Richard's work has been through referrals by clinicians, clergy, and therapists. He has often been called upon in cases where spiritual problems and their answers are not able to be met purely through conventional means, but through the unique and highly personal spiritual insights that Richard is able to bring to their issues. On today's show, we sit down with Richard and talk to him about everything from the discovery of his abilities to his time studying Demonology with the Warrens and Bishop McKenna, to cases he has taken on himself. Strap in as we go everywhere in this super-sized episode, from the latest controversy questioning the Warrens' authenticity, to what exactly will invite evil into everyone, to some of the wilder experiences Richard has had in the field!

Political conflicts related to immigration are thorny enough on their own. The issues and challenges intensify once we add to the mix our warming planet and its relationship to migration, immigration, and human displacement. Two 2024-25 CASBS fellows – Maureen Eger, a sociologist of immigration, and Alice Farmer, a refugee lawyer specializing in climate change and displacement – discuss scholarly and policy dimensions of the climate migration landscape in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Markoff (CASBS fellow, 2017-18).

What happens when historical research uncovers a truth you are not sure you want to know? In this episode of Shifting Schools, Tricia speaks with author Christine Kuehn and her husband and research partner, Mark Schiponi, about Family of Spies: A World War II Story of Nazi Espionage, Betrayal, and the Secret History Behind Pearl Harbor. Christine's investigation began with a startling discovery: members of her family had been deeply involved with the Nazi Party, and her grandfather had been convicted for his role connected to the attack on Pearl Harbor. What followed was a 30-year search through family testimony, declassified FBI files, National Archives records, historical accounts, photographs, and long-buried memories. Christine and Mark describe the emotional strain of researching a painful family history and the many times the project was packed away because the discoveries became too difficult to face. They also explain how they compared official records with family stories, handled contradictions, organized years of handwritten notes, and decided what evidence could be trusted. The conversation also examines the craft of making history readable. Christine and Mark wanted the book to reach people who might never choose a conventional work of World War II history. They discuss weaving the past together with Christine's present-day investigation, writing nonfiction with the momentum of a novel, and removing compelling material when it no longer served the larger story. For educators, the episode offers a useful exploration of historical inquiry, source evaluation, inherited narratives, memory, and the role storytelling plays in keeping difficult history visible. It raises questions that belong in history, humanities, media-literacy, and ELA classrooms: How do we respond when evidence challenges the stories we have inherited? What responsibilities come with uncovering painful history? How can writers make complex historical research accessible without weakening its accuracy? What can students learn by comparing personal testimony, archival documents, photographs, government records, and published histories? Christine also reflects on secrecy, shame, and the realization that people are not responsible for their ancestors' actions. They can, however, decide how honestly they will confront that history and what choices they will make in their own lives. In this episode: • The emotional cost of investigating a family's Nazi past • Using declassified FBI files and National Archives records • Comparing family memories with documentary evidence • Turning 30 years of research into a coherent narrative • Writing history for readers who do not consider themselves historians • Confronting inherited shame and family secrecy • Deciding what to remove when it no longer serves the story • Teaching difficult history through human stories • Responding to historical denial and misinformation Timestamps: 00:00 The emotional and practical challenges of the research 03:49 Organizing decades of evidence and handwritten notes 07:20 Why confronting painful truths can matter 11:36 Sharing a private family history with the public 15:15 Historical storytelling and what comes next 18:55 Creating the book's past-and-present structure 21:48 Knowing when a powerful passage must be removed About the book: Family of Spies by Christine Kuehn combines memoir, archival investigation, World War II history, Nazi espionage, and the secret history surrounding Pearl Harbor. The book follows Christine's effort to understand her family's involvement and the effects that secrecy had on later generations.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon dives into the explosive hearings held by the House Oversight Committee, focusing on civil liberties violations and the drift towards cultural Marxism within powerful institutions like the Smithsonian Institution and the American Bar Association (ABA). Chairman Brandon Gill of Texas leads the charge, confronting the Smithsonian's leadership over controversial statements regarding American history and questioning the ABA's advocacy for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that has shifted the focus from merit to identity politics.Listeners will hear the intense exchanges as Gill challenges the narrative that prioritizes race over qualifications, raising concerns about the future of both institutions and their impact on American society. The episode examines the implications of these hearings and poses critical questions about potential congressional actions regarding the Smithsonian and ABA's role in law school accreditation.In the second segment, Shawn Carney joins Solomon to discuss a shocking incident involving a Catholic priest in Canada who was offered euthanasia in a hospital setting, highlighting the urgent ethical debates surrounding life and death in modern healthcare. Dr. Peter McCullough from the Wellness Company also shares insights on recent health news, contributing to a well-rounded discussion on vital topics affecting Americans today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Part of the Top 10 Tour: 100K StrongWhen David Peters was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, he and his wife Kathi made an immediate decision: go all-natural. As professional filmmakers, they're now documenting their own healing journey — including treatment at Hope4Cancer in Mexico, biological dentistry to remove mercury amalgams, and the RGCC ("Greek") test that pinpoints which supplements are actually working.Recorded live at Healing Strong's 10th anniversary conference in Houston, this conversation covers the fear of going against an oncologist's orders, the emotional toll (and unexpected gift) of a diagnosis, why community is essential on a healing journey, and what it means to choose to heal rather than fight. David and Kathi also share how their upcoming documentary aims to answer the three questions every newly diagnosed person asks: Can I do it? How do I do it? Will it help me?This episode originally aired as part of our regular series and is being re-shared as one of the most-loved conversations from the I Am Healing Strong podcast archive.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

In this episode, Carl reflects on a summer that showed America at its best, and warns about a current running beneath it. Fresh off the 250th anniversary of the United States and a World Cup that drew hundreds of thousands of visitors, Carl shares what he's been hearing and why it's pushed him to speak out. Visitors from Europe and beyond left saying America was nothing like the country described in their home press. But alongside that pride, Carl points to a darker undercurrent: rising antisemitism and growing sympathy for communism among younger Americans, which he traces to decades of educational failure. A generation raised without strong historical literacy, he argues, has no framework to evaluate the ideologies it's being handed. Drawing on his memory of standing in Berlin in November 1989 as the Wall came down, Carl runs through the twentieth century's record on communism (the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, Cambodia, China) and argues it ended in mass death everywhere it took root. He revisits Joseph McCarthy, saying history has vindicated warnings once dismissed, and draws a parallel to how small, organized groups, from the Bolsheviks to the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany, seized control of nations despite representing a small minority. Carl turns to the present: a Democratic Party platform he says now includes eliminating the Senate, restructuring the Supreme Court, ending private property rights, and slashing defense spending; concerns about election integrity, citing a recent Los Angeles race; and the decision to eliminate Iran's nuclear capability as a necessary check against extremism. He connects the erosion of Judeo-Christian foundations, including churches he feels have drifted from scripture, to a broader loss of moral clarity. Carl closes on a personal note: rather than despair, he's taking his grandson to lunch to talk through what the younger generation actually knows, framing it as a responsibility every American shares. Invoking the Founding Fathers ("we stand together, or we hang alone"), he asks listeners what they're going to do to pass on the truth.
In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with authors Nicholaos Papadopoulos and Jacob Fishbein to pull back the curtain on a decade-long journey of writing their debut novel, The Men's Group: A Novel of Messy Friendships. What happens when a cynical, skeptical man walks into a room full of strangers—convinced he's surrounded by losers in a cult—only to find his deepest masks ripped away? Instead of delivering another rigid self-help manual, Nicholaos and Jacob reveal why raw storytelling is the ultimate vehicle for dismantling male isolation, confronting hidden addiction, and facing the silent internal stories that quietly drive men toward self-sabotage. From facing terminal diagnoses to exploring why true strength lies in internal self-reflection, this conversation uncovers what actually happens when men dare to drop their guard and show up when it matters most.
Few scholars have influenced memory studies as much as Jeff Olick. Professor of Sociology and History at the University of Virginia, Charlotte, Jeff was co-founder and past co-president of the Memory Studies Association, the leading association for this burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of studies. His books on Germany offer pathbreaking insights into how the country's political elites attempted to master the Nazi and Holocaust past. The Politics of Regret, has become a reference point for explaining why countries around the globe take up the challenge of confronting shameful histories. From the The Collective Memory Reader to the six volume, A Cultural History of Memory, Jeff has helped compile a cannon of readings and an expansive history of collective memory. A conversation with Jeff Olick about memory studies, the politics of memory in Germany, and the prospects for the politics of regret in the United States, next on the August 4th episode of the Realms of Memory podcast.
Two Women Inspiring Real Life with Stephanie Coxon and Kathy Anderson-Martin – It's especially troubling when these activities happen in the school; the adult is a teacher, and the administration is seemingly more interested in public relations and media attention than mandated reporting and follow-through. Often, the children most impacted by adult predators are also the ones most vulnerable...
We share Pastor Chris Mitchell's testimony about being prayed out of darkness and we join together to call prodigal names before God with faith and gratitude. We then move from valley thinking to higher ground, learning how humility, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit reshape our perspective and habits. • Praying together for prodigals by name and believing for homecoming • Asking “where are you” in your current season and naming trials honestly • Seeing higher ground as a spiritual place and a heart posture • Seeking what is above and setting our minds on heavenly things • Recognising higher ground through changed identity and secure footing • Understanding peaks as breakthrough moments and plateaus as formation • Building habits of going to God first and depending on the Word • Taking practical steps through holy dissatisfaction, Spirit-led living, and laying aside weights • Confronting hypocrisy as a weight that blocks growth
This week, we're looking back at the Supreme Court case that established the "common use" standard likely to play a major role in its new AR-15 case. That case is 1939's US v. Miller, and we have a guest with brand-new information that unsettles the official story of its namesake. Tulane law professor Brian Frye wrote the definitive account of Miller back in 2008, which ended up heavily influencing the Supreme Court's opinion in 2009's DC v. Heller. But, nearly 20 years later, he says the police and newspaper accounts about Jack Miller's life are now in dispute. Frye recounts the original narrative of the case, which reads like something out of a gangster movie. Miller was accused of being involved in multiple bank robberies, including a simultaneous heist at two Oklahoma banks. He then turned state's evidence and was later murdered by aggrieved gangsters. In between that time, he was arrested under the National Firearms Act (NFA) for transporting an unregistered sawed-off shotgun across state lines. An enterprising judge, who'd backed federal gun control as a congressman, then decided to use his prosecution as a test case for the NFA's constitutionality. In a truncated Supreme Court case that saw no oral arguments, that setup paid off with the High Court, in a fairly narrow ruling, determining that short-barreled shotguns aren't protected by the Second Amendment (or, at least, it didn't have evidence to say they are). It did, however, mention that the Second Amendment would protect guns that are in "common use." And that standard was something the 2009 Court grabbed onto in DC v. Heller, which is likely to play a substantial role in the 2026 Court's forthcoming AR-15 case. But the current understanding of Miller is deeply flawed, according to Frye. After his 2008 paper on the case garnered widespread attention, Frye said he heard from Jack Miller's surviving family members. And they had a very different version of what happened. Instead of being a committed career criminal, Miller's great-granddaughter said he was a persecuted minority living in the shadow of the infamous Tulsa Massacre, who was forced into at least some of the crimes he was involved with. He said he's currently working on a new paper that details the family's claims alongside other evidence, revealing a clearer picture of the story behind the Supreme Court case. Frye said that the local police singled out Miller for his Cherokee background and that they were involved in the bank robberies. He said corrupt police may even have been involved in his arrest for violating the NFA and in his eventual murder. He acknowledged that the family, like the police and papers from the period, has motivation to tell Miller's story a certain way. But he said he believed Miller's great-granddaughter is credible. Still, he noted they are still working on a final draft of the paper.Special Guest: Brian Frye.

This week on Chins & Giggles, we're unpacking everything from our makeup bags to marriage dynamics... with plenty of laughs in between. We're sharing the products we actually keep on hand, talking about whether the studio is finally getting a makeover, and introducing the newest addition to the conversation: the YSL Husband (because sometimes it's really the lack of consideration).We also get into the different expectations placed on men vs. women, break down how each of us communicates in relationships, and reveal the side of our husbands that nobody else gets to see. And somehow... we end up talking about Neil the Seal. It's equal parts beauty, relationships, real talk, and complete chaos—the way we like it.

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/-VPAINp9V6o What does idolatry look like in the modern world? In this challenging presentation, **Dr. Peter Hammond** examines how idolatry extends far beyond carved statues and ancient pagan temples. Modern idols can include political leaders, celebrities, sports personalities, wealth, success, technology, relationships, popular culture and even false ideas of God created to accommodate personal preferences. Drawing from Scripture, Dr. Hammond explores personality cults, emperor worship, political indoctrination, religious pluralism and society's tendency to give created people and things the honour, loyalty and devotion that belong to God alone. The presentation confronts several important questions: What occupies the highest place in our hearts? Have politics, popularity, prosperity or personal comfort become more important than obedience to God? Are we worshipping the God revealed in Scripture—or a god fashioned in our own imagination? Are Christians willing to stand for truth when society pressures them to bow before modern idols? The Bible repeatedly warns against idolatry: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image… you shall not bow down to them nor serve them." — Exodus 20:4–5 "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." — 1 John 5:21 Romans 1 warns that fallen humanity exchanges the truth of God for a lie and worships the creature rather than the Creator. Yet Acts 19 demonstrates that genuine repentance produces decisive action, as new believers destroyed the objects connected to their former idolatry. This presentation is both a warning and a call to self-examination.
We know revolution is needed and coming. As long as we operate from scarcity and fear, we will continue to maintain the status quo of extraction and destruction… since that is where "Security" has been sourced from through the distortions of the anti-Life system. But that is not real security; it's an illusion of security that keeps us in line. Confronting this, and cultivating a truer and deeper sense of Safety, is KEY to the Revolution… and your Destiny. ⚡️ Join us for the North Node in Aquarius deep dive: https://oath-oracle.mykajabi.com/offers/kin6xfXS For show notes, links and transcripts, visit https://oathoracle.com/2026/07/14/aab38
Day 1,596.Ukraine continues playing its game of Whack-A-Hole on the Kremlin's energy plants. Dom looks at technical developments on the battlefield, including the suggestion Ukrainian troops are now deliberately starting their assaults with next to no equipment, before turning to politics: with Tomahawks on their way to Europe and Marine Le Pen, possibly, on her way to the Elysee Palace. Adelie French-splains what a National Rally presidency could mean for European security and Ukraine. Finally, Adelie is joined by Alexander Browder, the 17-year-old who was sanctioned by the Kremlin for exposing a Russian-backed crypto laundering network.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.With thanks to Alexander Browder.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

He's 31, and nobody he knows is having kids. Tech is to blame, but what's the solution? Today, we're talking to Connor Leahy, US Director at ControlAI. We discuss why plummeting birth rates look eerily similar to what happens when zoo animals stop breeding, how ideas can spread and cause real harm the same way diseases do, and why the safest path with superintelligence might be to ban it outright rather than pretend we already understand it. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! To learn more about ControlAI, check out their website here
