Si bien se nos fue la sorpresa de la T1 sigue siendo efectiva

In this sponsored episode of the Anglotopia Podcast — brought to you by Findmypast, one of the world's leading family history websites — Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jen Baldwin, Research Specialist at Findmypast and a professional genealogist since 2010, for a warm, practical, and genuinely inspiring introduction to British and Irish family history research. Jen specializes in British social history and the British diaspora — exactly the intersection where family stories meet the great sweep of British history — and her own family tree reaches back to London in 1635. In this first of two episodes, Jen and Jonathan cover everything a complete beginner needs to get started: why family history is so addictive, how to interview living relatives before the memories are lost, what records to look for at home, the cornerstone British records (civil registration from 1837, the census from 1841, parish records, military records, and the extraordinary British Newspaper Archive), the common mistakes that trip up beginners, how to track ancestors who came to America via Canada or Australia, the surprising political dramas hidden inside census returns, and three quick wins that any listener can complete this week. A second episode, covering deeper research and connecting your family story to the wider sweep of British history, is coming soon.

Podcast — Jen Baldwin Also Mentioned Birmingham Back to Backs — National Trust The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes — Convict Transportation to Australia Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Family history research is genuinely addictive — not because of the pedigree chart but because of the moment when a name becomes a person: someone with a job, a neighborhood, neighbors, a dog, and a life that intersects with historical events you already care about. There is no such thing as a boring ancestor. Agricultural laborers, mill workers, sailors, and servants all lived lives of remarkable complexity — moving seasonally, navigating economic upheaval, living through wars and weather — and the records to explore those lives exist and are increasingly accessible online. The golden rule of genealogy is to start with yourself and work backward one generation at a time. "Slow is fast" — taking time to verify each connection saves hours of untangling mistakes later. Talk to your oldest or most vulnerable living relatives now, before the memories are lost. Don't ask them to recite facts — ask them to tell stories. Put a photograph in front of them. Ask about their first car, their father's job, the family rumors. That's where the genealogical gold is hidden. Check your own home before you open a single database. Shoeboxes of photographs, greeting cards, family bibles, baptism certificates, postcards, and funeral cards all contain clues. Even a photo of someone standing on a porch with a dog can crack a family mystery open. Civil registration in England and Wales (from 1837) is one of the most powerful genealogical tools in the world — a universal national system that records every birth, marriage, and death, and is far more consistent than the fragmented state-by-state US system. Each certificate chains to the next, revealing a new generation with every document. The 1911 and 1921 censuses of England and Wales are particularly rich — the first preserved in original household handwriting, the second containing post-WWI data on orphans, divorce, and political protests from veterans demanding the "homes fit for heroes" that were promised and never delivered. The 1931 census was pulped for the war and the 1941 census was never taken, making 1921 the last available for a generation. The British Newspaper Archive (accessible via Findmypast) is a partnership with the British Library covering millions of newspaper images from the early 1700s to modern day — not just the major national titles but tiny regional papers, sports papers, political papers, and even a newspaper devoted entirely to cats. It is where ancestors come alive as personalities, not just data points. The Findmypast crime and criminal records collection is the largest of its kind available online, and tracking a transported convict from a British court through the Australian records is very achievable — especially given the extraordinary work done by genealogy communities in Australia and New Zealand to preserve those stories. Three quick wins for after this episode: call the oldest family member you can and record their stories; search for one relative in a census on Findmypast; and start a basic family tree with your parents and grandparents. All three are achievable this week. Soundbites "When we do family history, we think we're researching individual people. But what we're really researching is history. We're researching the people who lived that history in the moment. That's what makes it addictive — that high of discovering the name of the person you've been looking for for five years, and then going, okay, where did he get his shoes?" — Jen on why family history is about so much more than a pedigree chart. "There is no such thing as a boring ancestor. Get that out of your head right now. Some of the most interesting people I've encountered are the ones people say are not very interesting. Agricultural laborers are a great example. There are thousands of them. And they lived a really incredible life." — Jen on the myth of the uninteresting ancestor. "People remember things with all five senses. Put a photograph down in front of them and say, what do you remember about this day? Or ask about their first car, their father's job, the family rumors. If you can get them into telling stories, that's where those little nuggets of data come from." — Jen on interviewing living relatives. "In 1911, there were hundreds of women across the country who were not listed in the census because they would write instead: no vote, no census. If I'm not allowed to vote, then you don't get to count me as a citizen on your government form." — Jen on the suffragists' census boycott. "You have seven different households at the same address. They had a routine of who got to use the bed and when. While one person was at work, the other family was in the kitchen, family three was in the bedroom sleeping, family four was doing whatever. They worked off a rotation." — Jen on what the 1921 census revealed about Birmingham's back-to-back houses. "Slow is fast in genealogy. If you take your time and really make sure you have these relationships correct, future you will thank you significantly. Nobody begins with 500 ancestors. Everybody starts with one person — and that's you." — Jen's single most important piece of advice for beginners. "Common sense is queen in genealogy. If you have a Jonathan Thomas born in Yorkshire and a Jonathan Thomas born in Devon, but the whole family is in Yorkshire the whole time, why would someone suddenly be born in Devon? Let that common sense guide you." — Jen on avoiding the most common beginner mistake. "Just to compare with the United States — every state records these things differently, possibly every county within every state. But in England and Wales, it's universal. Everybody goes through the same national system. It doesn't matter where in the country they are born or died. They are findable." — Jen on why civil registration is such a powerful tool for British research. "There's a seven-year-old who stole a pound and was transported to Australia. A single pound. That's probably one of the saddest ones I've ever found." — Jen on the human cost visible in the criminal records. "No one knows your family better than you do. You won't find it without sitting down and doing it. It's exciting and it's history and it's fun and it's addictive and it can be very challenging — it's like playing detective all the time. But it is a lifelong hobby that I guarantee will give you a lot of satisfaction." — Jen's closing encouragement to anyone who's nervous about starting.

Chief Royal Ramey moved 3,000 incarcerated individuals into public service careers through wildland firefighting. Here is exactly how he built the pipeline.SummaryThe Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program is a nonprofit workforce reentry pipeline that has moved over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into public service careers through wildland firefighting. In this episode, Donald Thompson sits down with Chief Royal Ramey, a 12-year firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and the program's co-founder, to examine how a fire line became one of the most measurable career pathways in the United States. After serving six years in prison, Ramey discovered that the discipline and identity structure of wildland firefighting provided what the traditional reentry system had never offered. Today his program operates across multiple states, and he is building toward a national model.Episode Long DescriptionChief Royal Ramey spent six years incarcerated before wildland firefighting gave him a framework for purpose, discipline, and leadership that the traditional reentry system had never provided him. As a 12-year firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, Royal has built one of the most measurable workforce reentry pipelines in the United States, moving over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into public service careers across multiple states.In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson sits down with Royal to examine how California's wildland firefighting infrastructure became an unlikely but highly effective model for workforce equity, legislative advocacy, and community reinvestment. The conversation covers Royal's four-step goal achievement framework, the economic argument for expungement, and what organizational leaders can learn from a culture that trains people to run toward the hardest problems. Housing one person in a California state prison costs close to $130,000 annually. Royal's program routes that same public investment toward a six-figure career that generates tax revenue, reduces recidivism, and creates measurable community financial stability."The most destructive conditions produce the most qualified leaders," argues Chief Royal Ramey, 2024 TED Fellow and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program.Key Talking Points:Wildland Firefighting as a Workforce Reentry Model: The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program fills a structural gap that exists in 13 states: incarcerated firefighters who serve on the line have no guaranteed pathway into the profession after release. Chief Ramey's nonprofit directly addresses that gap, with documented career outcomes for over 3,000 participants across California and partner states. Expungement as an Economic Investment, Not a Social Handout: Housing one person in a California state prison costs close to $130,000 annually, while a wildland firefighting career generates tax revenue, reduces recidivism costs, and creates a multiplier effect on family and community financial stability. Four-Step Goal Achievement Framework for High-Stakes Environments: Chief Ramey's Four-Step Goal Achievement Framework asks individuals to define the goal, confirm the desire behind it, build a concrete blueprint, and execute without exception. Developed on the fire line, the framework now drives career transition, leadership development, and organizational culture work inside Ramey's program. .Wildland Firefighting Discipline Applied to Business Leadership and Retention: The mindset that produces effective incident commanders maps directly onto corporate retention challenges. Radical accountability, mission clarity, and a culture where every team member understands their contribution are not firefighting-specific virtues; they are the conditions that reduce turnover in any high-performance organization. Climate Crisis and Incarcerated Firefighters as a National Workforce Imperative: Western wildfire frequency is increasing, and the incarcerated firefighter population represents a trained, available, and deeply motivated labor force. CAL FIRE workforce planning and state emergency management agencies have only begun to formally invest in this population as a climate infrastructure asset.Published: May 21, 2026 | High Octane Leadership with Donald Thompson, Episode 184.Chapter Markers0:00 - Intro: Chief Royal Ramey01:40 - From Fire Camp to Public Service: The Journey Out of Incarceration03:30 - Co-Founding the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program05:00 - How Chief Ramey's Four-Step Framework Moves People from Incarceration to Public Service07:15 - How Wildland Firefighting Converts a Criminal Record into a Public Service Identity10:00 - Focus on What You Can Control: The Leadership Mindset That Changes Everything12:00 - Firefighting as a Lifestyle, Not a Nine to Five14:40 - Legislative Advocacy and the Case for Expungement18:00 - Why Expungement Costs Less Than Incarceration: The Economic Case for Second Chances20:00 - What It Feels Like to Change 3,000 Lives23:00 - Why Purpose-Driven Leadership Produces Lower Recidivism Than Job Placement Alone27:45 - What Scaling the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program to 13 States Actually Requires30:00 - How the Prison-to-Public-Service Pipeline Works and What Other States Can Replicate32:00 - From Fire Camps to the Daily Show and Jeff Bezos: What Notoriety Did for the Mission35:30 - Closing: Chief Ramey's Legacy and Magic Wand MomentAbout the GuestChief Royal Ramey is a 12-year wildland firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, a nonprofit workforce development pipeline recognized by CAL FIRE and California workforce development agencies as one of the most effective reentry-to-public-service models currently operating in the United States. After serving six years in prison, Ramey built an organization that has guided over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into careers in wildland firefighting and public service. His advocacy contributed to the passage of California AB 2147 (signed September 2020, authored by Assemblymember Eloise Reyes) allows formerly incarcerated firefighters to petition to have their records expunged and pursue state fire certifications for the first time. Ramey has appeared on The Daily Show, discussed the economics of second chances with Jeff Bezos, and spoken internationally on the argument that people who have survived the most destructive conditions are frequently the most qualified to lead during a national climate emergency.Resources:Donald Thompson LinkedInDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/Chief Royal Ramey LinkedInForestry and Fire Recruitment Program: [Link]Workplace Options 2026 Psychological Safety Study: https://psychsafety.workplaceoptions.com/resource/the-coe-2026-psychological-saf...

Supreme Court Rules affirmative action voting districts are unconstitutional. Just like that, democrats and the legacy media have a total meltdown. The Conservative Circus covers every detail of this ruling, including the fake illusionist history of civil rights leaders and the Obama era effects now collapsing. Plus, AZ Gov. Katie Hobbs is introducing a new bill that will erase certain criminal records, we check in on America's communist mayors, Pete Hegseth takes it to Congress on Iran, and so much more on your Conservative Circus Show.

Opportunity, advocacy, and second chances is always a priority conversation when 1 in 3 Americans are justice-impacted. In this episode we highlight, for an inaugural conversation, Rahsaan Hall, President & CEO of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. This enlightening conversation explores the Urban League's mission, its national impact with 93 cities under the Urban League umbrella, and its frontline leadership in championing the Clean Slate Coalition. While there is still no Clean Slate law, in place, in Massachusetts, Rahsaan breaks down the realities of criminal records in Massachusetts where access to employment, housing, and opportunity is often shaped by a past that may no longer reflect who someone is today. Rahsaan speaks to the push for Clean Slate legislation, the effort to automate record sealing, and why removing these barriers is critical not just for individuals, but for families, communities, and the broader economy. As we learn from each episode, behind every record is a story and every story has the power to change how we see each other.

Scottish actor Peter Capaldi drops by the Q studio to talk about his hit Apple TV police drama Criminal Record.

No, it's not Anthropic's Mythos model, nor any other AI model. Upcoming IPOs? Wrong again. Jason thinks it's China's government's decision to block Meta's acquisition of Manus. The multi-billion-dollar deal was heralded as evidence that AI companies founded in China could sidestep onerous government meddling by moving their operations to Singapore. That loophole now appears closed.Jason and Lon then dug into the newly-reforged OpenAI-Microsoft partnership. The two companies have had a mutually beneficial, if fractious, operating relationship to date; that they had to rework their agreement is not a shock.Then, your hosts watched and digested a video from China purportedly showing a self-driving car hitting a child at speed. What would happen in the United States if such a tragedy struck? And is that fait accompli?Closing the show, Jason and Lon reacted to the latest Russell Brand implosion, discussed Lon's new favorite show ‘Criminal Record,' and shared recommended foot pedals (for AI dictation) and headphones for the road warriors tuning in.Key Links: OpenAI and MicrosoftOpenAI's announcement of its new Microsoft dealMicrosoft's announcement of its new OpenAI dealOpenAI announces its deal with AWSNews that Microsoft was considering legal action against OpenAIMicrosoft-OpenAI negotiations late 2025 edition, and terms announced in early 2026Amazon announces that OpenAI models are coming to AWSTimestamps:0:00 Show starts1:24 OpenAI and Microsoft have a new deal3:22 Why would Microsoft cede exclusive access to OpenAI models?5:36 Plaud: If your work depends on conversations — interviews, meetings, calls — you need a Plaud NotePin.

Todo ello sin perder el foco en lo que realmente hace especial a Criminal Record: sus personajes y esa sensación constante de que la verdad nunca es del todo clara.

Federal agents arrested more than 3,700 Minnesota residents during the federal government's surge into the state this winter, according to new data released through a federal lawsuit. It's the most nuanced data the federal government has released since the surge and includes the location where at least 3,789 people were arrested, their countries of origin and whether they have a criminal history. The data was released by the Deportation Data Project via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. MPR News host Nina Moini talked to Jon Collins and Kate Martin about their reporting on the numbers.

Most employers in the United States routinely conduct criminal background checks on job applicants, weeding out those with criminal convictions—and thus denying opportunities to those who need them most. In The Criminal Record Complex: Risk, Race, and the Struggle for Work in America (Princeton UP, 2025), Melissa Burch sheds light on one of the most significant forces of social and economic marginalization of our time—discrimination on the basis of criminal records. Chronicling the daily interactions of hiring managers, workforce development professionals, and job-seekers with felony convictions in Southern California, Dr. Burch shows that this discrimination is not simply a matter of employer bias. Hiring is shaped by a set of institutions, organizations, and industries that promote the erroneous idea that people with criminal records are dangerous to employ. This “criminal record complex,” as Dr. Burch names it, encourages exclusion and undermines employers' common-sense ways of assessing candidates. In vivid and intimate detail, Dr. Burch reveals both the futility and devastating human consequences of discriminatory policies.Dr. Burch places today's routine practice of background screening within racialized notions of risk originating in early capitalist development, tracing how, over decades, criminal background checks became a convenient catch-all, leveraged by entities with a direct interest in growing the practice. Despite this reach, however, Dr. Burch discovers that small business owners tend to put less value on background checks, trusting their own judgment. Approaching the issue from both personal and policy perspectives, The Criminal Record Complex upends what we thought we knew about the causes of criminal record discrimination. It suggests that our best hope for creating safe workplaces lies not in the false promise of background screening, but in building the kinds of economies and communities that support true safety. Our guest is: Dr. Melissa Burch, who is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan and Director of the Afterlives of Conviction Project. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and editor for academics. She is the producer and show host of the Academic Life podcast.

A group of Republican sheriffs, appointed to an immigration commission by Gov DeSantis for their hardline positions on immigration, just stunned DeSantis and Trump with their request. Stop deporting immigrants without criminal records. Further evidence that Trump has gone way, way too far on immigration enforcement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not every crime leads to deportation, but some absolutely do. In this Podcast, we explain how criminal charges, arrests, and convictions can affect your green card or immigration status. You'll learn which crimes trigger deportation, which ones don't, and what legal options you may still have if you're facing immigration consequences.  

Employers regularly check the background of potential workers for criminal records, even though claims that such checks predict their diligence or trustworthiness are dubious. Anthropologist Melissa Burch reflects on how criminal background checks became commonplace — and what vested interests maintain their ubiquity. Afterlives of Conviction Project Melissa Burch, The Criminal Record Complex: Risk, Race, and the Struggle for Work in America Princeton University Press, 2026 The post The Long Shadow of Criminal Records appeared first on KPFA.

In this episode, the hosts discuss a variety of topics ranging from fashion choices, particularly the coordination of glasses with outfits, to the impact of weather events like ice storms on daily life.
