Podcasts about Crumbling

“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.” This week we're setting sail on one of history's greatest epics, Homer's The Odyssey, and asking a very important question... did Taylor Swift write it? (We're mostly joking. Mostly.) In this Show & Tell episode, we each make the case for a Taylor Swift song that illuminates a different facet of the Odyssey, from Penelope's 20-year vigil to Odysseus weeping on a gorgeous island, to the sirens, the wine-dark sea, and a very significant scar. Along the way, the hosts dig into questions of translation and interpretation — particularly the significance of Emily Wilson's landmark female translation of the text — discuss the role of Athena in the story of the epic, and geek out about the archery contest that shows up in both the Odyssey and two Indian epics. Plus: the upcoming Christopher Nolan adaptation, the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera, Madeline Miller's Circe, and why All Too Well (10 Minute Version) might just be Taylor's own Odyssey.   Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

Breaking down the last couple possessions of Game 4.

Title: Boos, Ballots, Bailouts, and Buffoonery: The Desperate Gasp of a Crumbling Ego Hosts: Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse Listen Time: 42 minutes of pure, unvarnished reality Summary: The wheels aren't just coming off the MAGA wagon—they've bounced down the highway and caused a ten-car pileup. This week, Doug and Robb take a front-row seat to the latest, loudest public meltdown of Donald Trump, and honestly? It's a trainwreck you can't look away from. First up, the guys dissect the absolute embarrassment of his recent press interview. Watching Trump completely lose his mind under standard, baseline journalistic scrutiny wasn't just bad politics; it was a masterclass in fragile panic. It turns out that when you can't hand-pick the reporters or script the questions, actual accountability is a totally undefeated opponent. Then, we're heading to Madison Square Garden—because nothing says "man of the people" quite like getting thoroughly booed out of a Knicks game. What happens when a man who survives entirely on heavily curated, ego-stroking rallies steps into a real-world sports arena? A thunderous, highly localized reality check. We unpack that beautiful, unfiltered chorus of boos and why everyday Americans are completely done buying the snake oil. Finally, Doug and Robb tackle the exhausting, broken-record delusion of "stolen elections." We contrast his desperate, fictional grievances with the very real, unbelievably wasteful legacy of his time in office. Is the movement facing an irreversible decline, or are we just watching a cornered political grift double down on pure chaos? Join us for a candid, faith-rooted, and delightfully savage conversation about truth, accountability, and actual common sense. What We're Dragging This Week:  * The Interview Meltdown: Why a simple Q&A sent the fragile former guy into an absolute tailspin.  * The Garden Variety Rejection: Breaking down the Knicks game chorus of boos. Spoiler alert: regular people don't do fake.  * The "Stolen" Delusion: Deconstructing the pathetic rerun of false election claims that absolutely everyone outside of his echo chamber is tired of hearing.  * The Receipts on Waste: A look at the staggering, self-serving wastefulness of a leader who treated the public trust like a personal piggy bank. Love the show? Don't keep us a secret. Leave us a scathing review on Apple Podcasts, hit subscribe on Spotify, and talk some actual sense into your timeline using the hashtag #ComingGood. Let's clean up the public square together.

Brandie Posey is a comedian, podcaster, and record label owner. Her new special, Milk Job, is out now and her label is Burn This Records. She brings a punk rock DIY ethos to putting out comedy albums, which is beyond a breath of fresh air amidst a crumbling, fascist friendly industry. We break it down the only way two lefty millennials know how.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into a week of chaos surrounding Donald Trump, from a weekend barrage of Truth Social posts and increasingly bizarre self-mythologizing to mounting questions about his health, judgment, and grip on reality. Rothkopf argues that Trump's latest behavior reveals a president trapped by crises of his own making—from Iran and a crumbling political coalition to what he describes as a dangerous fantasy world where everyone else plays the victim. The pair also unpack the growing signs of Republican unease, the political fallout heading into the midterms, and why a larger generational reckoning may be reshaping global leadership. As the conversation builds toward a chilling conclusion about power, aging, and the risks of desperation, Rothkopf delivers one of his starkest assessments yet of the man occupying the Oval Office.

The Department of Justice has launched a criminal perjury investigation into E. Jean Carroll. In this hard-hitting episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the explosive new development that could mark the beginning of the end for the radical left's lawfare machine.In her 2022 deposition, E. Jean Carroll swore under oath that no one else was paying her legal fees in the two civil cases against the America First side. Now federal prosecutors are investigating whether that statement was false after it was revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman secretly funneled money through a nonprofit to cover her substantial legal expenses. Doug lays out the facts, the timeline, the coordinated pattern behind the scenes, and what this means for the rule of law in America.You'll hear unique, can't-be-found-anywhere-else analysis on how this probe exposes years of weaponized justice, why the venue in the Northern District of Illinois matters, the role of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's recusal, and the real hope this brings for restoring accountability and trust in our institutions heading into the 2026 midterms.If you want straight talk, honest conservative analysis, and grounded optimism that the American people are finally seeing the system work the way it was intended, this episode is a must-listen.✅ Hit “Subscribe” or “Follow” right now so you never miss an episode.✅ Leave a 5-star rating and review — it helps us reach more listeners.✅ Share this episode with every friend who values truth over narrative.This is The Right Side with Doug Billings — proud conservatism that delivers.Prayerfully consider contribg to the show at: www.DougBillings.us#EJeanCarroll #DOJProbe #PerjuryInvestigation #LawfareExposed #ReidHoffman #TrumpAccuser #RuleOfLaw #2026Midterms #ConservativePodcast #AmericaFirst #fyp #theRightSide #DougBillings #Trump Support the show

The Marc Cox Morning Show lands one of the most explosive conversations of the week as Congressman Eric Burlison joins the Capitol Beat with bombshells that will have you questioning everything you think you know. A senior intelligence official looked Burlison in the eye and described watching UAPs instantly match the speed of F-16s over a U.S. military base — with hundreds of witnesses and radar confirmation. The FBI has glowing orb videos in full color that have never been released. And the CIA may be sitting on answers nobody has been allowed to see yet. Then Burlison sounds the alarm on Washington's political earthquake — John Cornyn just got wiped out, Chip Roy couldn't survive the anti-DC wave, and Congress still hasn't delivered for the American people. If John Thune isn't hearing the bell going off right now, he's not paying attention. From alien craft outrunning our fighter jets to the Save America Act hanging in the balance, this is the conversation every patriot needs to hear before the weekend. Do not touch that dial.

Saudi Arabia has spent a decade pouring billions into investments to modernize their finance, entertainment, sports, technology and tourism industries, to help shift their economy away from oil. Now these efforts, called Vision 2030, are being challenged, in part, by the war in Iran, the missile and drone strikes against Saudi and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Doug Saunders is the Globe's International affairs columnist. He's on the show today to explain how Saudi's vision for its future and relationships with other countries are now changing. Questions?

In this episode of Battleground, Patrick Bishop and Roger Moorhouse dive into the complex and shifting dynamics of the Ukraine conflict.We begin by examining how the escalating tensions between the Trump administration and Iran are creating ripples that reach all the way to Kyiv. As the U.S. appears to seek a rapid exit from its "Operation Epic Fury" in the Gulf, we analyse what this perceived strategic incoherence means for future American support—or lack thereof—for Ukraine. The heart of today's discussion focuses on explosive leaked intelligence reports detailing Vladimir Putin's intensifying paranoia. From installing surveillance on his own staff to avoiding his usual residences, the Russian leader is reportedly on "high alert" for a potential coup or drone assassination attempt from within his own elite circle. We take a close look at: The Shoigu Suspicion: Why former Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu is now being viewed as a "potential destabilising actor". A "Slimmed-Down" Victory Day: Why the traditional May 9 military parade in Red Square will feature no heavy weaponry this year. The Cost of War at Home: How plummeting approval ratings, 14.5% interest rates, and a crackdown on Telegram are fuelling public dissatisfaction in Russia.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundTikTok - battlegroundukraineProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, Dan is joined by Jesse Brown, founder, editor, and publisher of Canadaland, to discuss how Jewish life in Canada has changed since October 7. Drawing on months of reporting for his six-part investigative series What Is Happening Here, Jesse explains why antisemitism in Canada feels more targeted, more tolerated, and more systemic than many outsiders understand.

2026-04-14 | UPDATES #172 | The ghost leaves the machine — Surkov's alleged flight and the unravelling of Putinism. The man who invented "managed reality" for the Kremlin has, reportedly, had to manage his own reality to remain out of prison. Disappeared. A fugitive. That's the rumour. The subject of a criminal case being — and I quote the phrasing from Russian sources — "being prepared." The ghost-writer of Putin's postmodern autocracy has been ghosted by the system he built.Vladislav Surkov. Putin's brain. That was never Dugin – but Surkov is a far more likely candidate for that title. The grey cardinal. The architect of sovereign democracy. The curator of the invasion of Ukraine. The man who ran the Donbas occupation like a stage production. And, according to multiple Russian and Ukrainian sources in the last few hours, a man who has just bolted from Russia — one step ahead, they say, of the FSB knock on the door.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv next month, to film, do research and conduct interviews.
