THE AMATEUR SPIES AND THE 1934 DINNER Colleague Charles Spicer. In December 1934, Ernest Tennant, a British banker deeply scarred by the loss of friends and family in the First World War, attended a pivotal dinner in Berlin with Adolf Hitler and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Tennant, along with fellow protagonist Philip Conwell-Evans, sought to prevent another continental war by fostering closer ties between British and German society through organizations like the Anglo-German Fellowship. Ribbentrop, an Anglophile who had lived in London, used these social connections to move decision-makers closer to the Nazi leadership, exploiting the fact that the British government initially viewed Hitler with disdain and had not engaged him diplomatically. The narrative introduces the Travelers Clubin London as a hub for these internationalists and intelligence figures, setting the stage for a story of amateur espionage aimed at civilizing a regime that would eventually launch a predatory war.

Holden Mitrione Interviews Michael — A Wide-Ranging Conversation on Ideas, Economics, and CultureIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Holden Mitrione sits on the other side of the microphone to interview Michael Liebowitz in a free-flowing discussion that moves comfortably across philosophy, economics, culture, and the habits of thinking that shape a person's life.Holden, an undergraduate majoring in economics, brings a sharp and curious mind to the conversation—asking questions that cut through abstractions and focus on fundamentals: how ideas form, how incentives actually work, and why clarity of thought matters more than fashionable opinion. Rather than sticking to a single theme, the discussion unfolds organically, touching on moral reasoning, personal responsibility, intellectual independence, and the dangers of treating systems as substitutes for judgment.Michael responds not with slogans, but with careful explanations rooted in cause and effect—connecting economic principles to everyday life, and philosophical ideas to real human choices. The result is a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like an honest intellectual exchange between two people who take ideas seriously.This episode is especially valuable for listeners who enjoy hearing principles tested in real time, rather than packaged neatly in talking points. It's a reminder that thinking well is not about credentials or authority, but about the willingness to follow ideas to their logical conclusions.Michael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest. Deeply influenced by the philosophy of Ayn Rand, Michael uses his platform to challenge cultural dogma, expose moral contradictions, and defend the values that make human flourishing possible.His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to becoming a respected voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities is a testament to the transformative power of philosophy. Today, Michael speaks, writes, and debates passionately in defence of individual rights and intellectual clarity.He is the co-author of two compelling books that examine the failures of the correctional system and the redemptive power of moral conviction:Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crimehttps://www.amazon.com.au/Down-Rabbit-Hole-Corrections-Encourages/dp/197448064XView from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Libertyhttps://books2read.com/u/4jN6xjXenia Ioannou is the producer of The Rational Egoist, responsible for overseeing the publishing, presentation, and promotion of each episode to ensure a consistent standard of clarity, professionalism, and intellectual rigour.She is the CEO of Alexa Real Estate, a property manager and entrepreneur, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Ayn Rand Centre Australia, where she contributes to the organisation's strategic direction and public engagement with ideas centred on reason, individual rights, and human freedom.Xenia also leads Capitalism and Coffee – An Objectivist Meetup in Adelaide, creating a forum for thoughtful discussion on philosophy and its application to everyday life, culture, and current issues.Join Capitalism and Coffee here:https://www.meetup.com/adelaide-ayn-rand-meetup/Follow Xenia's essays on reason, independence, and purposeful living at her Substack:https://substack.com/@xeniaioannou?utm_source=user-menuBecause freedom is worth thinking about — and talking about.#TheRationalEgoist #PodcastConversation #EconomicsAndIdeas #IndependentThinking #PhilosophyInPractice #ReasonAndRealityAbout Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistAbout Xenia Ioannou – Producer of The Rational Egoist

We know you've let things go. So have we. But when we say it's time to let it all go we really, really mean it this time.On February 20, 2026, humanity as a whole – and each of us individually – will enter a new era, an epic, once-in-a-lifetime rebirth. Slow-moving Saturn and Neptune will meet up at the very first degree of the zodiac (0° Aries) for the first time in over 6,000 years.How do we prepare? By emptying out. Acknowledging, accepting and grieving all that did and did not happen in the past.We're all at a choice point. Keep carrying the chains of Christmas Past like good old Ebenezer or really name and claim and honor – and ugly cry if you need to – over all that never came to pass and never will. It's time for a reverently irreverent yet totally sincere burial ceremony.The only way out is through. Which means being vulnerably real and honest and saying a heartfelt goodbye in order to say a bigger hello to what will and must come. The more you can release now, the more vitality, clarity, purpose and passion you'll be available for on the other side.Join us in sacred sisterhood to put the fun back in funeral as we say goodbye to all the dreams that can never be.We'll gather for:* Deeply resonant and powerful self-reflection to clarify what dreams are really dead (and what dreams may still be resuscitated);* Sacred movement to release any energies that no longer serve while inviting the energy of new life and new dreams;* An herbal ceremony to open the heart and support the grieving process, the dissolving of old energies;* A sacred ceremony to bid farewell to those dreams that will never be realized;* You'll be seen, heard, held and honored in your tender surrender.We'll meet Saturday, January 24, 10am-3pm. All women are welcome, no previous astro-experience is necessary. The group is limited to 12 participants, and early registration pricing ($144) is available through January 14.Get all the details and sign upQuestions? Just hit reply.

Jesus announces the scattering of the disciples, His crucifixion and resurrection before being betrayed by Judas. Although Peter espoused his heartfelt determination to stay with Jesus, no matter what, Jesus spoke of Peter's denial.Matthew next describes how Jesus took Peter, James and John and went apart from the other disciples in order to pray. Dr. Mitchell brings out the circumstances of the sorrow which Jesus felt. Jesus said His soul was was very sorrowful, even to the point of death.Dr. Mitchell focuses our attention on the fact that Jesus poured out His soul even unto death. He shed His blood for you and me on the cross willingly.The blood of the Cross reconciles all who trust in Christ.Let's join Dr. Mitchell in Matthew 26 vs 31 as he shares the Lord Jesus with us here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
Relationships in HD — Part 15: For the Saint and the Sinner Description: In Part 15 of Relationships in HD, Pastor Eric goes to the very foundation of every Christian relationship: whether or not we are truly children of God. Launching from the line, “For the saint and for the sinner… there's enough grace for the whole wide world,” he confronts a common assumption—that everyone is automatically God's child—and shows from Scripture that only those who believe and receive Jesus are adopted into the Father's family. From John 1 and John 8, Pastor Eric contrasts empty religion with true salvation: serving, giving, being “churchy,” even being on the membership roll is not the same thing as being born again. He shares his own story of years of doubt, “hope-so hands,” and self-righteous striving, and how the Lord finally broke through at an altar in 1987 with one simple invitation: “Just ask Me, and I will.” From that moment, the Christian life moved from fear and uncertainty to the security of a Father who never lets go. From there, this message unfolds the generous heart of God the Father. In Luke 11 and 12, Jesus teaches that if flawed human parents know how to give good gifts, how much more does our Father in heaven delight to give the Holy Spirit, daily provision, and even the kingdom itself. Pastor Eric shows how a distorted view of earthly fathers can warp our view of God—and how Scripture corrects that picture with a Father who is approachable, generous, and stable, not stingy, distant, or constantly angry. Deeply personal and thoroughly gospel-centered, this sermon calls both the religious and the rebellious to real assurance in Christ, and invites believers to live like secure sons and daughters—resting in the Father's delight, resisting the lies of the enemy, and reflecting the generosity of heaven in their everyday relationships. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 1:11–12; John 8:44; John 3:16–17; John 10:27–29; Luke 11:9–13; Luke 12:22–34; James 1:16–18; Hebrews 4:14–16; Hebrews 12:2; Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 1:3–5. Highlights: Child of God or just religious? Why serving, giving, and being in church isn't the same as being born again. Believe and receive: Not everyone is automatically God's child—but everyone who trusts Christ is adopted, forgiven, and welcomed. Pastor Eric's testimony: From years of doubting and praying “just in case” to finally trusting that Jesus wanted him and had truly saved him. Hope-so hand vs. know-so assurance: Moving from vague wishing to confidence in God's promises. Fighting doubt: “Grab the devil by the tail” and drag him back to the cross—if God lied, He wouldn't be worth following, but He cannot lie (Titus 1:2). The Father's generosity: Every good and perfect gift comes from Him; He delights to give the Holy Spirit, daily bread, and the kingdom. “How much more?” If flawed parents give good gifts, how much more does our Father value and care for His children. You are worth more than the birds: Correcting a culture that often values animals and environment over people—God says you are of greater value. Security in the Father's hand: No one can pluck Christ's sheep out of His hand or the Father's hand (John 10:27–29). New identity, new family, new future: Adoption, inheritance, reservation in heaven, and the peace that passes understanding. Relational impact: When we know we are loved, wanted, and secure, it reshapes how we parent, mentor, and disciple others. Next Steps: If you're unsure whether you're truly a child of God, start there: read John 1:11–12 and John 3:16–18, and honestly ask, Am I trusting my goodness—or Christ's finished work? If you haven't, call on Him in faith and receive Him as your Savior. If you belong to Christ but struggle with doubt, write down John 10:27–29, Romans 8:15–16, and James 1:17–18. Pray through them this week and, whenever accusation comes, “drag it back to the cross” and rest in what God has promised, not what you feel. Then, ask the Father to help you live like His child: choose one way to reflect His generosity, patience, and delight—whether toward your kids, your spouse, or someone younger in the faith. Thank Him that there is grace enough for the saint, grace enough for the sinner, and grace enough for you.

“Love and marriage is not about perfection. It's about participation and waking up every day and saying that I still choose you.”This Earth Xperience explores how identity is navigated across changing seasons of life, including marriage, friendships, success, faith, the body, and personal growth. Dr. ShantaQuilette reflects on how people often expect consistency in areas of life that are designed to evolve, and why knowing who you are matters more than keeping everything the same.The conversation moves through marriage as an ongoing decision rather than a fixed achievement. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about choosing a partner daily, not because things stay easy, but because commitment requires presence, communication, and participation. Love matures when expectations of perfection fall away and responsibility takes its place.Friendships and success are examined through the lens of growth. She discusses how success can quietly shift relationships, expose insecurity, and require boundaries that feel uncomfortable but necessary. Some relationships change not because of conflict, but because seasons change and alignment shifts.Faith is explored as a relationship rather than a transaction. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about discernment, obedience, and trusting what God reveals even when the full picture is unclear. Growth, she explains, often requires movement before certainty.The body enters the conversation as part of this larger navigation. While her body has changed over time, her identity has remained consistent. She reflects on how society responds differently to bodies, and why those reactions do not define worth. Caring for the body becomes stewardship rooted in respect rather than shame.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by lived experience. The X represents whatever is explored together. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Dr. ShantaQuilette, a speaker and educator whose work centers on self awareness, relational clarity, faith, and navigating life with intention rather than reaction.How to connect with the creatoremcpower.coYou can follow and connect with Dr. ShantaQuilette through her professional platforms, where she shares reflections on identity, relationships, faith, and growth.Questions to reflect on• What does participation look like in your closest relationships right now?• Where have you been chasing perfection instead of presence?• How has success changed the way people relate to you?• Which relationships are aligned with your current season?• How do you respond when faith asks you to move without clarity?• What does caring for your body from respect rather than pressure look like for you?• What helps you stay grounded when life is shifting?
Sheldon Richman Joins Michael Liebowitz for a Candid Discussion on Liberty, Justice, and Political PhilosophyIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz sits down with Sheldon Richman for a thoughtful and principled conversation about where their political views converge—and where they part ways.Sheldon Richman is a lifelong advocate of liberty, reason, and justice. A father and grandfather, he brings both moral seriousness and lived experience to political philosophy. In this discussion, Michael and Sheldon explore foundational questions about individual rights, social cooperation, the role of the state, and the moral assumptions that sit beneath modern political movements.Rather than trading slogans, the conversation digs into first principles:What do individuals actually owe one another in a free society?Where does voluntary cooperation end and coercion begin?Can liberty be defended consistently without sacrificing moral clarity?They also examine areas of agreement—such as the rejection of collectivist premises—and areas of tension, particularly around strategy, language, and the practical implications of political theory in a mixed economy.This episode is a rare example of two serious thinkers engaging honestly, without posturing or tribalism, in pursuit of truth rather than consensus.About Sheldon RichmanSheldon Richman is a freelance editor, author, and long-time writer on liberty and political philosophy. He is the author of What Social Animals Owe to Each Other and Coming to Palestine, and a consistent voice for individual rights, peace, and voluntary social order. He is also, by his own description, a lover of liberty, justice, reason—and pipe tobacco.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Larry Sharpe Joins The Rational Egoist to Discuss His Candidacy for Governor of New YorkIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz is joined by Larry Sharpe, a prominent libertarian voice and two-time candidate for Governor of New York. Sharpe brings a grounded, reality-based perspective to politics—one that treats individuals as adults capable of managing their own lives rather than subjects to be managed by the state.The conversation explores why New York has become one of the most heavily regulated, expensive, and politically centralised states in the US—and what a fundamentally different approach would look like. Sharpe explains his opposition to top-down control, endless bureaucracy, and political promises that ignore incentives, consequences, and human nature.Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, media host, and candidate, Sharpe makes the case for decentralisation, voluntary cooperation, and a politics that respects consent rather than obedience. He also discusses the practical challenges of running against entrenched party machines, the cultural resistance to liberty in large urban states, and why offering voters a real alternative matters—even when winning is not guaranteed.This is a wide-ranging discussion about freedom, responsibility, political courage, and what it means to take ideas seriously in a culture addicted to power.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Support us on Patreon---"Herod the king, in his raging, charged he hath this day: his men of might, in his own sight, all young children to slay." So goes the Coventry Carol, a traditional English Christmas song commemorating the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem. According to the Christian Gospel of Matthew, the jealous ruler of Judea so feared the arrival of the messiah that he ordered this slaughter of his own infant subjects. Herod's name rings through the ages with tyranny and evil. But who was Herod the Great?This episode of Gladio Free Europe explorers the life and afterlife of Jewish history's most consequential monarch. Liam and Russian Sam situate King Herod in his historical context, as a pious Jewish monarch and a Hellenistic warrior-king. Born into an ambitious family descended from the conquered backwater of Edom, nobody expected Herod would ever assume control of the Hasmonean Kingdom of Judea. But as the Mediterranean world collapsed into a century of bloody turmoil, Herod used dynastic conflicts in both Jerusalem and in Rome to propel himself to the greatest heights of power. After he was suddenly named King of the Jews by the Roman Senate, Herod had to contend with ruling the most fractious kingdom in the Near East, and the most defiant corner of the vast Roman Empire.Though his ancestors were converts to Judaism, brought into the Israelite fold at the point of a sword, Herod reigned as a pious Jew. Even scholars who doubted his commitment to the faith acclaimed his act of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, the center of all Jewish ritual. Though a Roman puppet who never attempted to liberate his subjects from foreign domination, Herod brought enormous prosperity and glory to his kingdom. The land that he once ruled is still marked by great works, built in Hellenistic fashion both to honor his God and to honor his own glory.Despite his great successes, Herod was cruel, vindictive, and unceasingly murderous. Although his role in folklore derives from fiction and rumor rather than actual acts, his reputation for cruelty is well-deserved. Deeply paranoid and acutely aware of his own vulnerabilities, Herod dispatched every threat to his reign with unflinching violence. Even his own wives and children could not escape this violence. After his death, Herod would be immortalized not for his contributions to his kingdom and his faith, but instead for his wickedness. This episode will touch on the origins of Hanukkah and of Christmas to understand the career of one of the most fascinating and terrifying figures of the ancient world.

Send us a textThis episode is an invitation to stop personalising misunderstanding, stop shrinking to be seen, and stop explaining your depth to people who haven't yet explored their own inner world.Matilda speaks to why self-awareness determines perception, how projection distorts connection, and why deeply reflective people often feel unseen — not because they are too much, but because they are aware.This is a grounding, compassionate conversation about emotional capacity, discernment, and learning to stay whole without hardening your heart.In this episode, we explore:Why feeling misunderstood is often about capacity, not effortHow self-avoidance limits how deeply someone can see youThe difference between discernment and disconnectionWhy shrinking yourself never leads to real understandingHow to stop chasing validation and start honouring resonanceThis episode is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misinterpreted, or emotionally ahead of the room — and is ready to stop making that mean something is wrong with them.Matilda's WebsitePatreonEmbody MentorshipEmbody Group MentorshipTikTokYou TubeYOU TUBE CODE IWLWDDSUZUYW42QE

Trained in biochemistry at the University of North Texas and UCLA, with postdoctoral work under longevity pioneers Roy Walford and Caleb Finch, Dr. Longo has built a multidisciplinary research career spanning genetics, immunology, endocrinology, and molecular biology. His laboratory has identified key genetic pathways that regulate aging and demonstrated how targeting these pathways can reduce disease risk and progression in both animal models and humans, including novel dietary and genetic strategies that protect healthy cells while making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment. Dr. Longo is widely known for developing the fasting mimicking diet, a five-day periodic dietary intervention shown in randomized clinical trials to reduce markers associated with aging and chronic disease, while promoting stem cell–based regeneration and longevity. His work has earned numerous prestigious awards, including the Glenn Award for Aging Research, and in 2018 he was named one of Time Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care. Deeply committed to public health and accessibility, Dr. Longo donates all proceeds from his bestselling books, including The Longevity Diet and Fasting Cancer, to research and education through his foundations in Milan and Los Angeles, advancing affordable strategies to prevent disease and extend healthy lifespan.

Whether you've been on a sacred feminine journey for decades, or just beginning...No matter what faith or spiritual practice you follow, whether you are agnostic or atheist...The healing energy of the deep feminine archetypes belongs to all of us, running like a loving current through us and our world. When we lift-up the feminine within ourselves and our world, honoring the feminine with the masculine, everyone benefits as balance is restored. When we attend to the world with our right brain perspective, we create a very different world than the world we create with our left brain perspective. The keys to planetary ascension are within.Dale Allen • In Our Right Minds: On the Sacred Feminine, the Right Brain and Restoring Humanity's Natural BalanceWebsite: https://www.inourrightminds.netBestselling Book: https://a.co/d/e8MZm8C Award-Winning Film: https://www.inourrightminds.net/watch-the-film.htmlJoin me on Facebook – Subscribe and FollowSupport the show~~~~~~~Coco Oya Cienna-Rey is a UK-based creative, mystic, soul guide and writer.

I struggle with charitable giving. I always have. And I think it's because of ambiguity.When you buy a carton of eggs, you get instant feedback. You know what you paid. You know what you got. You crack the eggs the next morning and you know if it was good or bad.Charity doesn't work like that.You give money and it disappears into a system you can't see. You don't really know what it bought. Was it food? Was it training? Was it staplers? Was it overhead? And overhead matters. Every real organization is mostly overhead. Even Apple and Google are mostly overhead.But with charity, we want instant, visible good. And we almost never get it.Then there's the deeper problem. Even if the intention is good, we don't always know if the outcome helps or harms. Does giving cash help? Does it make things worse? We don't really know. Economists argue about it. Philosophers argue about it. And regular people just feel stuck.I don't have a clean answer.What I do believe is this: charitable giving is less about certainty and more about practicing a bigger heart. Doing something you don't fully understand. Acting without clear reinforcement.And that might be the whole point.

On this episode of Pops N Drops, we sit down with KILL KADE (Killian Kade)—a true pillar of Portland's underground electronic music scene with 26 years behind the decks and a lifetime of stories to match. Based in Portland, Oregon, KILL KADE is a versatile selector known for moving seamlessly across breaks, drum & bass, house, midtempo, and other bass-driven styles, always prioritizing groove, energy, and the dancefloor journey. His approach blends deep technical knowledge with instinctive crowd control, shaped by decades of experience in clubs, warehouses, pop-ups, and renegade events. We talk about his role in Portland's electronic music history, including the unique distinction of being the first DJ to ever play Rainbow City—and later returning to play the final set, closing out an era of a legendary local venue. The conversation also touches on standout moments like his performances at the Eastbank Esplanade, where music, community, and city energy came together in a powerful way. Deeply rooted in DIY culture and the underground, KILL KADE remains an active force in the scene through his involvement with Tracers and ongoing collaborations across Portland nightlife. Whether he's opening a room, closing out the night, or pushing sound in unconventional spaces, his commitment to authenticity and the craft has never wavered. We also dive into what's next, including his upcoming headline set at Tech Tonic Thursday at Jungle Bar, where he showcased a deep breaks-focused sound that reflects both his foundations and continued evolution. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in underground culture, longevity in electronic music, and what it really means to show up for a scene—year after year.
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the powerful role animals play in neurodivergent lives — from emotional regulation and routine to responsibility and companionship. Sparked by Simon adopting a dog, the conversation moves through childhood memories of pets as lifelines, the unique bond many Autistic and ADHD people form with animals, and why pets often provide connection without judgment when people cannot. They also speak honestly about the realities: financial strain, PDA, sensory triggers, burnout, and the unavoidable heartbreak of loss. Rather than romanticising pet ownership, the episode balances warmth with realism — acknowledging both the regulation animals bring and the responsibility they demand.Together, they discuss:Why pets are so common in neurodivergent livesAnimals as emotional regulation, comfort, and routineBeing alone without being lonelyHow pets support motivation, structure, and daily functioningPDA, autonomy, and responsibility of pet ownershipGrief, anticipatory loss, and loving animals through ageingWhy understanding your own neurodivergence matters when choosing petsThis episode is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply human reflection on why animals mean so much to neurodivergent people — not as therapy tools, but as companions, family, and anchors in an overwhelming world.Our Sponsors:
2025 Show Notes addendum: With C1E100, you just heard how Ch 1 ends. Now, hear how Ch 1 began! Also, C1E100 ends with a production deliberately designed to be as close to the much much MUCH worse production quality of the original episodes. With today's rerun, you can compare it to the C1E100 ending to see how well or how poorly 45yr old "2025 St. John" did at emulating and impersonating that clunky, and untrained, but "starry-eyed", "pocket full of dreams" 36yr old St. John from C1E1. I definitely want to know what you think at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com or on social media or Discord! Lastly, for as atrocious as the production quality is on this Dec 2016 production (Jan 2017 release), it is actually the [by far] superior version of the episode. In Oct 2016, I produced beta versions of the first four episodes, and shared them under the pseudonym of "Disco Santa's House of Impossible Conundrums" so I could put them out there for a very limited audience to solicit feedback without a mass release (this was before I was using cloud storage, mind you). The final releases of those four episodes were amended based on the feedback received from everyone from Mike Levy of XVGM, to Pieness64, to even Stephen Hill of NPR's decades-running New Age / Space / World / Ambient late-night FM radio program: Hearts of Space. Well, recently, I found the original beta versions of those first four episodes , and here is a Google Drive link to the episode 1 beta - the only NNR production to use an alternate version of the "St. John NNR shout". The version we ended up going with was recorded during the episode 2 beta and applied to everything thereafter. So this episode 1 beta is the only time in show history where an episode opens with an alternate St. John NNR shout - and boy is it pathetic! This one was recorded with me sitting down. The ep 2 beta shout (which eventually became the "official shout") was recorded standing up. Here's a Google Drive link to that original Oct 2016 Ep 1 beta: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FXWu6EsHeveev4h65yKcLkww7jAPPMtA/view?usp=drive_link In fact, here's a link to the entire "Disco Santa" folder, with the Oct 2016 beta versions of all of the first four episodes: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eueCDmOikIdTXxK_s6VDsWd3Z4QImZeu?usp=drive_link --------------------------------------------------- orig show notes: The moment has finally come - the Channel 1 podcast is HERE!

The life and legacy of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt with David BeitoIn this episode, the conversation cuts through the mythology surrounding FDR and examines the man, his ideas, and the political transformation he presided over. Rather than treating Roosevelt as a sacred figure of history, this discussion looks directly at the consequences of his policies, the expansion of executive power, and the long-term effects on American political culture.David Beito brings historical clarity and intellectual precision to a presidency often insulated from serious moral and political scrutiny. The result is a grounded, unsentimental examination of how power is justified, how narratives are constructed, and why understanding Roosevelt matters now more than ever.David T. Beito is a professor emeritus of history at the University of Alabama and a respected scholar of American political and economic history. He is the author of FDR: A New Political Life, a revisionist examination of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that challenges conventional portrayals and situates FDR within the broader context of power, crisis, and political change.Book link:https://a.co/d/36WHp1iAbout Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.
