CONQUER BINGE EATINGHelena came to me struggling with her relationship with food & bingeing since she was 12 years old. She would come home from school and binge on a bunch of snacks when her parents weren't home.She tried therapy, eating disorder treatment and worked with dieticians but always felt like she was the exception. She had thoughts that maybe she'd just struggle with bingeing & thinking about food for the rest of her life.Until she found my podcast, joined CONQUER & decided to trust the process and believe that she could CONQUER. She was fully open to a new approach of rewiring her brain after understanding that binge eating was a habit. (THIS IS KEY!!!)

Join us to hear from renowned historian Frank Dikötter, who offers a commanding history recasting how communists seized power in China. In April 1927, soldiers and detectives descended upon the Russian Embassy in Beijing, revolvers drawn. An hour later, they emerged with a trove of documents, some of them partly damaged by Russians who had tried quickly to destroy them. In these singed and soggy papers was proof that Moscow, despite agreeing three years earlier not to “propagate communistic doctrines,” had, in fact, sent what amounts to millions in today's dollars—along with shiploads of arms and advisors—to support nothing less than a revolution in China.  These findings are hardly ever mentioned by historians—until now. Dikötter says the history of modern China has long been framed as an organic enterprise, wherein Communists mobilized the “peasants,” took land from the rich and redistributed it to the poor. Drawing on the Beijing raid as well as several other overlooked archives, Dikötter's new book Red Dawn Over China reveals how unlikely a communist victory actually was, had it not been for massive financial and military support from the Soviet Union; a brutal war of occupation by Japan; severe miscalculations by the United States; and—most of all—the Communist Party's unflinching will to conquer at all costs. Dikötter reveals how what began in 1921 with 13 delegates in a dusty room led to a red flag being raised over the Forbidden City in 1949, forever altering the course of history for a quarter of humanity and shaping the global balance of power as we know it today.  About the Speaker: Frank Dikötter is the Milias Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is also Chair Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong. His books have changed the way historians view China, from the classic The Discourse of Race in Modern China to his award-winning People's Trilogy, a series of books that document the lives of ordinary people under Mao: Mao's Great Famine: The History of China's Most Devastating Catastrophe; The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution, 1945-1957; and The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962-1976.

Transcript:Sv: Vårmorgonen var klar och ljus på gården.En: The spring morning was clear and bright on the gården.Sv: Luften doftade av nytt gräs och blommande blommor.En: The air smelled of fresh grass and blooming flowers.Sv: Linnea, med sina blonda flätor som svängde i takt med hennes steg, var fylld av beslutsamhet.En: Linnea, with her blonde braids swinging in time with her steps, was filled with determination.Sv: Hon ville bevisa för Oskar att hon kunde mjölka den envisa kon, Bella.En: She wanted to prove to Oskar that she could milk the stubborn cow, Bella.Sv: Bella var känd i byn för sin envishet.En: Bella was known in the village for her stubbornness.Sv: Hon var en stor, brun ko med blanka ögon som alltid verkade planera något busigt.En: She was a large, brown cow with shiny eyes that always seemed to be planning something mischievous.Sv: Oskar, Linneas vän, stod lutad mot staketet med armarna i kors.En: Oskar, Linnea's friend, stood leaning against the fence with his arms crossed.Sv: Han var skeptisk men var där för att stödja Linnea.En: He was skeptical but was there to support Linnea.Sv: Nils, deras granne, stod lite längre bort och följde händelserna med

today," Oskar said with a light laugh.Sv: Linnea suckade men gav inte upp.En: Linnea sighed but didn't give up.Sv: Hon började klura på olika sätt att få Bella att samarbeta.En: She began to think of different ways to get Bella to cooperate.Sv: Först försökte hon sjunga en liten visa, men det gjorde Bella bara ännu mer ointresserad.En: First, she tried singing a little tune, but that only made Bella even more uninterested.Sv: Då försökte hon med en liten dans, men Bella stod kvar och tuggade på sitt gräs.En: Then she tried a little dance, but Bella stood still, chewing on her grass.Sv: Plötsligt kom Linnea på en idé.En: Suddenly, Linnea came up with an idea.Sv: Hon mindes hur Bella älskade att bli kliad bakom örat.En: She remembered how Bella loved to be scratched behind the ear.Sv: "Kanske är det det hon vill ha," tänkte Linnea.En: "Maybe that's what she wants," Linnea thought.Sv: Hon reste sig och närmade sig kon försiktigt.En: She stood up and approached the cow cautiously.Sv: Hon kliade Bella bakom örat, och till allas förvåning började Bella lugna ner sig.En: She scratched Bella behind the ear, and to everyone's surprise, Bella began to calm down.Sv: Hennes stora öron fladdrade av förtjusning.En: Her large ears flapped with delight.Sv: "Där ser du," sa Linnea triumferande till Oskar.En: "There, you see," said Linnea triumphantly to Oskar.Sv: Hon satte sig igen och började mjölka.En: She sat down again and began to milk.Sv: Denna gång fylldes hinken långsamt men säkert med mjölk.En: This time, the bucket slowly but surely filled with milk.Sv: Nils skrattade högt och gav Linnea en tummen upp från sin plats.En: Nils laughed loudly and gave Linnea a thumbs up from his place.Sv: När hinken var nästan full, log Linnea brett.En: When the bucket was almost full, Linnea beamed widely.Sv: Hon lyfte den och visade stolt innehållet för Oskar.En: She lifted it and proudly showed the contents to Oskar.Sv: "Jag sa att jag kunde göra det," sa hon med glädje.En: "I told you I could do it," she said with joy.Sv: Oskar skakade på huvudet, samtidigt som han klappade Linnea på axeln.En: Oskar shook his head while patting Linnea on the shoulder.Sv: "Jag är imponerad," erkände han.En: "I'm impressed," he admitted.Sv: Alla tre stod där, bland de blommande äppelträden, och skrattade vid det lustiga skådespelet.En: All three stood there, among the blooming apple trees, laughing at the amusing spectacle.Sv: Linnea hade lärt sig en viktig läxa.En: Linnea had learned an important lesson.Sv: Med tålamod och lite kreativitet kunde hon övervinna vilken utmaning som helst.En: With patience and a little creativity, she could overcome any challenge.Sv: Våren spred sin grönska över fälten, men mest av allt fylltes gården av vänskap och skratt.En: Spring

From a remote outpost 80 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, FK Bodø/Glimt rose from the windswept coast of Norway to become the most terrifying tactical machine in Europe. In this episode, we deconstruct the "Midnight Men"—a club that ignores traditional football geography to play a relentless, high-octane brand of attacking football that famously dismantled José Mourinho's AS Roma 6–1. We explore Kjetil Knutsen's revolutionary system, the staggering 103-goal season that redefined the Eliteserien, and how their sustainable "develop and sell" model keeps the giants of Europe on their toes. It's a story of frozen pitches, endless sunlight, and a tactical revolution that proves brilliance can bloom even in the coldest corners of the map.

Shenzhen-based Transsion Holdings is now a massive Chinese technology company that few people outside of Africa and certain parts of Asia have heard of. Even in China, the brand, now the world's 5th-largest mobile phone producer, remains largely unknown. Transsion gained notoriety after it entered the African market in 2006. Back then, the world's largest phone brands all but ignored African consumers, selling low-end, late-model devices designed primarily for Western and Asian consumers. The Chinese company saw an opportunity and tweaked the software on its phones to optimize photos for darker skin tones, and added a suite of features like dual SIM cards, dustproofing, and longer battery life to sell sub-$100 phones to Africa's booming youth market. That formula worked, and the company's three brands, Tecno, Infinix, and iTel, have dominated the market for more than a decade. But little is known about how Transsion achieved its success in Africa. Lu Miao, an assistant professor at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, joins Eric & Cobus to lay out the company's strategy and why it was so effective in a market that others largely ignored.

Lu Miao, an assistant professor at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, joins Eric & Cobus to lay out the company's strategy and why it was so effective in a market that others largely ignored.

From the injury-plagued shadows of Barcelona to the undisputed King of Ligue 1, Ousmane Dembélé's transformation is nothing short of legendary. In this episode, we break down his record-breaking 2024–25 campaign, where a tactical shift to the "false nine" role under Luis Enrique unlocked a 33-goal explosion and delivered PSG's historic first Champions League title. We analyze his evolution into the world's most clinical creative force, his domestic treble success, and why he is finally fulfilling the promise that once made him the most expensive teenager in history. Whether you're tracking his 2025 Ballon d'Or charge or his world-class playmaking stats, this is the definitive story of Dembélé's Parisian renaissance. Ousmane Dembélé, PSG, Ligue 1 Player of the Year, Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain.

This echoes of war podcast, hosted by Craig Watson and Gaurav explores the Third Carnatic War (1756–1763) as the Indian theater of the Seven Years' War. It details the decline of the Mughal Empire after Aurangzeb's death in 1707, leading to fragmented provinces like Bengal and the rise of the Maratha Empire as a dominant power. European influences are highlighted: the British East India Company with bases in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta, and the French with strongholds like Pondicherry. The narrative focuses on key events starting with the Black Hole of Calcutta in 1756, where Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah imprisoned British captives in horrific conditions, prompting retaliation. Robert Clive's victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757, aided by betrayal from Mir Jafar, secured British control over wealthy Bengal (20-25% of India's GDP). The episode covers the Siege of Madras (1758–1759), where French forces under Comte de Lally failed due to supply issues and British reinforcements. The decisive Battle of Wandiwash in 1760 saw British General Eyre Coote defeat the French, leading to the Siege of Pondicherry (1760–1761), which ended French influence. Britain's naval superiority, alliances, and strategies established dominance, marking 1759 as the "Annus Mirabilis." The podcast emphasizes colonial expansion parallels with North America, using maps and portraits for a documentary feel. It concludes with the Treaty of Paris, where France regained possessions but without fortifications, ensuring British ascendancy in India.

The sacred geese have attempted to save Rome, but the siege of the Gauls is still not over! What could possibly happen next? We continue our deep dive into the events purported to all take place In 390 BCE.Despite the Romans apparently being surprised by the Gauls turning up on their doorstep, the Gauls have been in northern Italy for some time as far as we can trace archaeological evidence. The rumours that the Gauls came to central Italy in the search for cooler weather, but instead what they find is a city of Romans, and as the siege drags on, hygiene starts to emerge as a problem.Maybe we can come to an arrangement?The siege is getting tedious for both sides, so amidst the military encounters, conversations start about maybe bringing the siege to a close through mutual agreement. The details of the siege consequences include lack of food, issues with cadavers, and spread of disease. And it seems neither the Romans or the Gauls want to keep going with this situation.“Woe to the Conquered!”Those Gauls are pretty cheeky in the moment of coming to a monetary agreement to ensure they'll pack up their siege and leave Roman territory. Not only to they ask for 1000 pounds of gold, but they have the nerve to add some extra items to the scales to encourage the Romans to pay even more than this sum. Perhaps even worse, are our sources really telling us a story of Rome resisting the Gauls, or could it be the case that ALL the city was taken and the Romans were legitimately and completely defeated? We explore the possibilities. Where in the world is Camillus?Is he in Ardea pumping out a training montage with the locals in preparation to swoop in and rescue Rome? Or is waiting in the wings but misses his cue to come on stage leaving Rome to deal with the Gauls all by themselves? Our sources have some disagreements which we'll delve into.Things to listen out for:An origin story for Jupiter Pistor (Jupiter ‘the baker')The centrality or not of Camillus to the siege narrativeImportant references to “Eye of the Tiger” What are the Gauls interested in?What might colour the Romans' perceptions of the Gauls?Where did the Romans find 1000 POUNDS of gold????The role of the Roman matrons in saving the CityThe tricky legacy of who paid the ransom to the Gauls and what happens afterwards…For our full show notes and edited transcripts, head on over to https://partialhistorians.com/Support the showPatreonKo-FiRead our booksRex: The Seven Kings of RomeYour Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire Hosted on Acast.

We will be continuing our reading and analysis of Machiavelli's "The Prince" by diving into his thoughts on how to maintain the loyalty of conquered nations. Machiavelli puts critical emphasis on how to properly occupy and subdue territories depending on how they were previously governed. The Florentine diplomat also stresses the need for conquerors to control their own arms, which leads to a more interesting exploration on the nature of divine intervention.   Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Beyond The Breakdown is back with Jacob The Gowler Gowler and Matt The Allard Allard - and this week the focus is firmly on ArsenalThey examined the job Keith Andrews has done and how his philosophy is now fully embedded in this Brentford side. The main event, though, is that incredible performance against Arsenal - a display that disrupted their title charge and, on another day, should absolutely have delivered all three pointsThe lads go deep on the tactical detail - Keane Lewis-Potter's disciplined defensive role, how Brentford repeatedly played through Arsenal's press, Van den Berg's standout display, and what Collins being benched again tells usThere's analysis of the smash-and-grab at Villa Park too - exposing the high line and soft man-marking - before a proper deep dive into the statement win at St James' Park. The Ouattara and Lewis-Potter switch, the in-game shift to 4-4-2, Tonali's early freedom and how it was curtailed, plus the stats that show Brentford earned every bit of itFinally, they run the numbers on Brighton, Burnley and Bournemouth. Are these favourable fixtures? Why do Brentford always seem to get the better of Bournemouth? And how many points are realistically on the table?Stats. Tactics. Big calls.

After Maddie Smith quit drinking, she just didn't know what to do with her hands ... until she discovered Cross Fit and built her epic physique! Now she's a top contender for “Ms. Health and Fitness 2026”, and she's doing it all for a veteran nonprofit. We talked about how she overcame alcoholism, an eating disorder, and endured recovery groups that didn't understand her trauma. Now, in peak physical condition she shared advice on conquering addictions and helping veterans through a partnership with Shields and Stripes, a veteran support program founded by Steve Nisbet, fellow athlete and Air Force Pararescue Specialist veteran. Nisbet described the life of an elite “PJ”, conducting casualty evac missions in combat zones, the tragic death of a fellow PJ, the Army's betrayal and the emotional toll of his service. But he powered through the pain and used his physical training expertise to create the acclaimed Shields and Stripes veteran support program. The program draws from the type of sports therapy used by pro athletes and Special Operations teams and combines it with customized nutrition plans and therapy from experienced psychologists. Nisbet described the incredible results attendees experienced at recent programs in Arizona and Florida, and shared stories of vets who no longer need the medications doctors said they couldn't live without. Smith also expressed her shared love of fitness as medicine, and what she will do if crowned contest winner, “If I win, I'm donating the $20K prize to the Shields & Stripes Foundation. I'm competing to break the stigma around recovery & mental health, not to win money. Giving the prize to a nonprofit founded by someone who rebuilt his life after tragedy & now helps others find their strength, means more than anything $20K could buy me.” Vote for Maddie Smith, fitness pro and Army spouse, here:https://mshealthandfit.com/2026/madeline-smith Check out the innovative, healing programs for veterans at Shields and Stripes, here:https://shieldsandstripes.org/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Wednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time

We don't tiptoe around spiritual warfare… We name it, claim it, and wage it. We don't coddle the culture… We confront it with Scripture. We don't settle for passive minds, we take the battle to the battlefield—the mind.Today, Paul M. Neuberger tears down the myth that faith is just a private affair or a Sunday ritual. He exposes the real front line: your thought life. He calls out comfortable Christianity. He rebukes unchecked thinking. He slams the door on the victim mentality.It's time to crucify excuses, not just medicate symptoms. It's time to walk in self-control, not self-pity (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy wants your mind—Jesus already bought it.The world will mock this message. It will call you rigid, old-fashioned, intolerant. But the truth? "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." –2 Corinthians 10:5The question is: Will you stand or will you surrender when the mental war rages?Episode Highlights:01:13 – The great battlefield of our generation isn't politics, economics or culture wars. It's in our minds. And most believers are losing not because they lack faith, but because they lack discipline. We've been taught to manage symptoms instead of confronting sources. We medicate what should be crucified. We excuse what Scripture commands us to take captive. We call it just how I think when God calls it a lie that's got to be demolished.07:45 – One of the most dangerous lies infiltrating modern Christianity is this idea that believers are victims of their thoughts rather than stewards of them. This lie sounds compassionate, progressive and understanding, but it's spiritually paralyzing. It subtly strips believers of responsibility, authority and victory, replacing them with excuses and resignation. Scripture never presents the Christian as powerless over their mind. It presents the believer as accountable for it.39:49 –Remember this, please. You're not powerless. You're not helpless. You're not a victim of your thoughts. In Christ. You've been given authority, clarity, and responsibility. Scripture says this in First Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 16, we have the mind of Christ. That's not poetic language. It's a call to live differently, think differently, and lead differently.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Although she's been a theater actress for most of her life, Jenna Bainbridge never envisioned herself performing on the grandest of stages -- Broadway. The issue wasn't one of talent or confidence, but rather, accessibility. Partially paralyzed as a child, Bainbridge didn't think she'd find the accommodations necessary for her to live and work in New York. However she's now performing on Broadway in the long-running hit, Wicked.

Manchester City has sent a clear message to the Premier League with the blockbuster £64 million signing of Antoine Semenyo. In this episode, we break down why Pep Guardiola went all-in on the Ghanaian winger and how he managed to score and assist on his debut—a feat not seen at the Etihad since Sergio Agüero. We analyze the tactical "X-factor" Semenyo brings to the squad, his incredible 10-goal form at Bournemouth, and why he chose the Cityzens over Liverpool and Manchester United. Whether it's his "Roberto Carlos" strike power or his seamless fit into Pep's system, we explore if this is the signing that secures another historic treble for the reigning champions.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMHappy New Year! We open this new year of Our Lord 2026 with a bang: in this episode, we cover how Messiah defeated the demons, overturned the millennia-long reign of false gods, and converted an empire, as recounted by the great 4th century Church Father, St. Athanasius, in his classic work, "On the Incarnation of the Word."Magic and sorcery failed; the oracles went silent; ancient lairs of paganism like Egypt and Babylon turned to Christ; the sign of the cross scattered demons; and the nations left behind their differing worship of many false gods for the one worship of the true God in His Catholic Church.Let us remember this great and epic history in our day!VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

America’s growth from a rugged frontier nation to the globe’s industrial superpower in the space of 100 years can be explained by one word: coal. Before coal dominance, American buildings were defined by height limits imposed by stonework. The tallest building in the 1830s was Baltimore’s 235-foot tall Phoenix Shot Tower. Transportation also worked poorly without coal. The early wood-fired 4-4-0 locomotives struggled with top freight speeds around 15 mph and pulling trains of approximately 450 tons. The transition to coal and cheap steel enabled the steel-supported 555-foot Washington Monument and allowed massive coal-fired trains to achieve express passenger speeds up to 100+ mph and haul loads over 4,000 tons. For a century the entire world was dependent on coal. It powered railroads, built urban skylines, and provided warmth, light, and power for families rich and poor. Although the American economy soared, society unknowingly suffered from coal’s debilitating health and environmental impacts. Skies were so dirty that on some days, visibility was limited to a few feet. Coal miners frequently died from cave-ins, explosions, or contracting black lung. Towns like Centralia in Illinois were fundamentally destroyed by an underground fire started in 1962 that continues to burn. Today’s guest is Bob Wyss, author of “Black Gold: The Rise, Reign, and Fall of American Coal.” We look at a range of figures that were part of coal’s story, from a largely unknown and unrecognized Pennsylvanian inventor who helped spark the Industrial Revolution to a prominent society clubwoman who clashed with the powerful coal forces in Utah that were fouling the air and sickening residents. It also includes clashes between powerful tycoons, coal miners, and the American public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
