Podcasts about Darkness

Lingering cold has many a podcast host needing a week off, but Rob Long and Steve Hayward reconvene to enjoy some juicy stories and just desserts: The "Democracy Dies in Darkness" crowd got cut up in broad daylight, Jeffrey Epstein's pals are paying their due for dealing with the devil, and a $2 million verdict was awarded to a minor in a suit against the medical professionals who deformed her.

Is Britain ready for Artificial Intelligence? Well, bluntly, 'no'; that's the verdict if you read several pieces in this week's Spectator – from Tim Shipman, Ross Clark and Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley – focused on how Britain is uniquely ill-placed to take advantage of the next industrial revolution. Tim Shipman's cover piece focuses on how the Labour government is approaching AI – there are some positives but, overall, Britain's creaky bureaucracy is blocking progress.To discuss this week's Edition, features editor William Moore is joined by political editor Tim Shipman, commissioning editor Lara Brown and the Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine. Are you a tech-optimist or part of the 'analogue resistance' that Sarah professes to head?Also on the episode: why is Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel obsessed with the antichrist – and is he the Isaac Newton of the 21st century; what does the Peter Mandelson scandal reveal about politics – and has Sarah Ferguson fallen further than the Prince of Darkness; is the new documentary Melania a genius PR move or a vain symptom of Trump's love of classic Hollywood; and finally, have you experienced 'elder-speak'?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

The massive layoffs at Jeff Bezos's Washington Post involve more than just the financial situation at the paper. The Amazon founder's real priority is keeping Donald Trump happy so the money keeps flowing from his lucrative government contracts. And the man worth $260 billion will do what it takes, even if that means hollowing out a great news organization and potentially turning it into a MAGA-friendly outlet. Maybe having the economy so dependent on government contracts—with an erratic, megalomaniac at the top of the food chain—is not such a good idea. The former executive editor at The Post says Bezos should turn the paper into a nonprofit. Plus, the origin story of "Democracy Dies in Darkness," and the profiteering and corruption in the administration is not getting the press attention it deserves.Marty Baron joins Tim Miller.show notes Marty's book, "Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post" Tickets on sale Friday for our live shows in Dallas and Austin in March, and our second Minnesota show is selling out.

"  Let's create an army of light and just  get out there and be a positive force in the world." Chief, welcome to 2026. In today's Minisode I am going to share with you my tips for being the leader that the world needs right now. If you've felt the weight of the negative news cycle, the anxiety of the unknown and the relentless pace of change, you're not alone. Therefore, it's time to be a positive leader who brings light, energy, and direction when others feel overwhelmed. Yes, you can't pretend the world's perfect and you can't ignore hard realities. But you can choose to impart a contagious culture of positivity and light.

It is one of the staple headlines of British politics: Peter Mandelson has resigned. The so-called Prince of Darkness was sacked as US ambassador last September, yet that has done little to stem the flow of stories about the alleged nature of his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. This weekend saw the publication of a further three million emails, triggering another avalanche of claims about Peter Mandelson's links to the dead sex offender. So what next for Mandelson? And which former political grandees have successfully managed the transition out of the Commons? Should he be taking notes from George Osborne?James Heale and Tim Shipman discuss.Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

From wiki: “How to Get Ahead in Advertising is a 1989 British black comedy fantasy film written and directed by Bruce Robinson, and starring Richard E. Grant and Rachel Ward. In the film, an advertising executive has a nervous breakdown and finds himself concerned with the ethics of his profession.

Ancient Israel was thrown into despair and hopelessness in 722 BC when Assyria conquered much of its land in the north (Zebulun and Naphtali). Yet the prophet Isaiah could foresee a time when gloom would turn to joy because “a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, and of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.” In many societies today we find ourselves in such darkness that gloom, fear, and despondency cover our lands. The Good News is that the Son and His invitation have been given: Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

It is very unclear what is going on between Washington and Minnesota right now. A few days ago Tim Walz compared ICE officers to Nazis, then he turned around and worked with them, so naturally we brought in Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan to explain reality. Daily Wire reporter Jennie Taer joins to share what she saw on an ICE ride along in Minneapolis amid the protests, and the guys also get into all the Oscar movies you have not seen, and neither have we.

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's lesson is simple: cosmic horror, but with punchable Nazis. If classic Call of Cthulhu is about fragile academics discovering forbidden truths and immediately dying, Pulp Cthulhu is about kicking down the door, firing a shotgun at an elder god, and saying, "That all you got?" This episode is about concepts, themes, and vibes—the part of the game where sanity is optional, luck is currency, and surviving certain death might involve parachuting into a hot-air balloon you didn't know was there. Grab your fedora. We're going full pulp. Show Notes What Is Pulp Cthulhu? Pulp Cthulhu is a fully compatible variant of Call of Cthulhu that dials the game from existential despair to high-octane pulp adventure. Characters are tougher, more competent, and far more likely to survive long enough to matter. If Call of Cthulhu is The Thing or Evil Dead, Pulp Cthulhu is The Mummy, Army of Darkness, or Indiana Jones with eldritch nightmares.  Core Themes & Tone Heroic pulp action instead of grim cosmic inevitability Investigators who can take multiple hits and keep fighting A lighter, often comedic tone without abandoning horror Quips, gadgets, globe-trotting, and cinematic set pieces This makes Pulp Cthulhu an excellent transition for players coming from Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or other heroic tabletop RPGs. Setting & Genre Shift Time period: 1930s, just before World War II Scope: Global adventures—London, Cairo, jungles, ruins, secret bases Enemies: Cultists, mythos horrors… and a suspicious number of Nazis The game leans hard into classic pulp tropes: secret societies, forbidden relics, occult conspiracies, and globe-spanning races against evil. Core Mechanics D100 roll-under system with degrees of success Regular, Hard, and Extreme successes replace DCs Fumbles and pushed rolls create escalating consequences Skills improve when you fail them during advancement These mechanics reward specialization while keeping tension high, even for highly skilled characters. What Makes Pulp Cthulhu Different?

In this episode, I talk with Josh Lazie, a former bassist for Danzig, to talk about a reality many of us live with but rarely name: the persistent sense that something is missing. For years, he tried to fill that void with music, drugs, success, and the constant noise of the rock-and-roll lifestyle. For a time, those things worked. Eventually, they didn't. We talk honestly about what that world gave him, what it cost him, and the moment he realized that nothing he was chasing would ever make him whole. We explore the restlessness beneath addiction and ambition, the fear of stillness, and why silence can be more confronting than chaos. Now a catechumen in the Orthodox Church, he reflects on how faith didn't simply distract him from emptiness, but began to heal it—through discipline, repentance, and a reorientation of what it means to live fully.

Send us a textA quiet glow at midnight can echo through your biology like a shout. We dig into new research showing that even modest night light is tied to higher risks of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and coronary disease—and we connect the dots to circadian rhythm, metabolism, and the choices we make at home every evening. This isn't fearmongering; it's a roadmap for reclaiming sleep, stabilizing blood pressure, and improving insulin sensitivity with tools you already have.We break down how light at night elevates stress hormones, flattens the nocturnal blood pressure dip, and disrupts the cellular repair that should dominate while you sleep. We also unpack a striking analysis of more than 130,000 adults with insomnia: chronic melatonin users were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure and faced higher all-cause mortality compared with matched non-users. The signal is associative, but the magnitude invites caution and a rethink. Instead of flooding the brain with a nightly dose, we focus on rebuilding your own melatonin through light timing: bright and blue by day, warm and dim by night, and truly dark for sleep.You'll leave with a simple, science-backed plan. Step outside for morning light to anchor your clock. Two hours before bed, step down brightness and remove blue wavelengths—aim for about one lux, roughly a moonlit room. Use warm 2700K bulbs, dimmers, and screen night modes from sunset to sunrise. Align meals with daylight, avoid late-night snacking, and give your nervous system a real off switch. Small changes to photons can nudge hormones, vessels, and mitochondria in the right direction within weeks.If this conversation sparks an “aha,” share it with a friend who struggles with sleep, hit follow for more science-backed self-care, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. What's the one lighting habit you'll change tonight?For references, video and slide deck: www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

Science fiction isn't one-size-fits-all.Some readers love big ideas and long-term strategy.Others want emotional depth, character-driven stories, or fast, cinematic action.And here's the thing: your personality plays a huge role in the kind of sci-fi you love.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I'm matching science fiction reading recommendations to common Myers-Briggs personality types. Using the same framework as our fantasy episode, I take 10 of the most common personality types and pair each one with two sci-fi series that align with how those readers tend to think, feel, and engage with speculative ideas.Whether you're a systems thinker, a people-first reader, a big-picture strategist, or someone who just wants sci-fi that moves, there's something here that fits you.

Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale) and Bryan Fuller (Dust Bunny, Hannibal) join us for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about their creative partnership, trust between actor and director, and the strange beauty found inside dark stories. Mads reflects on his unconventional path into acting, his background as a dancer, and the emotional discipline required to disappear into complex roles without carrying them home. Bryan opens up about his childhood influences, his love of horror, and how Dust Bunny became a love letter to Amblin era storytelling with a darker edge. Together they unpack Hannibal, vulnerability in performance, working with icons like Sigourney Weaver, and why curiosity and humanity are the foundation of great storytelling.

In this episode of Movie Nights with Matt, Matt Ehret is joined by guest Adrian Polushevsky for a deep dive into Darkness by Design: Part One, a documentary examining the transformation of high fashion from classical beauty to deliberate provocation. The episode explores the historical roots of the Balenciaga brand, its founder Cristóbal Balenciaga, and the stark contrast between traditional couture and the modern embrace of shock aesthetics, occult symbolism, and controversy. Through commentary and post-screening discussion, Matt and Adrian unpack themes of cultural warfare, aesthetics as a battleground, and the line between artistic boundary-pushing and intentional moral degradation. The conversation expands into broader questions about influence, power, and how culture shapes values over time, while also emphasizing the importance of restoring meaning, beauty, and discernment in art. This episode blends film analysis, history, and philosophy into a focused examination of how culture is shaped, subverted, and reclaimed.

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months?  Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy? [08:00] Why Does Winter Darkness Affect Motivation, Mood, and Spiritual Clarity? [12:00] How Different Women Experience SAD in Unique Emotional and Physical Ways [17:00] Why Experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder Doesn't Mean Your Faith Is Weak [18:00] How Can SAD Be Reframed as a “Wilderness Season” Instead of a Personal Failure? [22:00] How God Uses Darker Seasons to Invite Deeper Awareness and Growth [23:00] Using the A.D.D.

This week, Drusilla and Josh talk about the very rough Angst (1983.) From wiki: “Angst (English: "Fear") is a 1983 Austrian psychological horror thriller film directed by Gerald Kargl, who co-wrote the screenplay with cinematographer and editor Zbigniew Rybczyński. It follows a psychopath recently released from prison and is loosely based on real-life mass murderer Werner Kniesek. It was banned in many European countries on its release for its depictions of violence.[1] “Also discussed: Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, The Secret of Nimh, D&D, Ishtar, and more!NEXT WEEK: How to Get Ahead of Advertising (1989)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

Al shares how he ended up on Fox News defending his podcast comments about liberal policies in major cities, while the guys laugh about the media repeatedly crediting the wrong Robertson for the same quotes. Bill Maher's growing distance from woke orthodoxy sparks curiosity and even has Jase joking about inviting him into the studio for a real conversation about Jesus. The guys turn to Jesus' prayer in John 17, exploring eternal life as active participation with God that reshapes how believers live, suffer, and face death.
