Craig Unger investigates the "October Surprise" following the 1979 seizure of 52 American hostages in Tehran. Iran's revolution overthrew the Shah, installed by the US in 1953, creating an anti-American Islamic Republic. The failed Desert One rescue mission on April 24, 1980, killed eight Americans and shocked the Carter administration, effectively ending his re-election prospects. Carter's weak position was exacerbated by his contentious relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin following the Camp David Accords. Candidate Ronald Reagan and his soon-to-be campaign head, Bill Casey, observed the developing crisis. Guest: Craig Unger. 1850 TEHRAN

In this compelling episode of 90 Miles from Needles, host Chris Clarke explores the delicate balance of truth in natural environments and everyday life. With a focus on the impact of modern technology, Chris explores how misinformation, notably from AI-generated content, can distort our understanding of the natural world. He raises vital questions about the integrity of information and prompts listeners to reconsider how we consume media. This discussion extends to an examination of the timeless truths found within desert ecosystems, where reality remains unobscured by human interference. Chris eloquently contrasts the external world filled with "little lies" and the undeniable truths present in the desert's harsh yet honest environment. This episode emphasizes the importance of discernment in the digital age, encouraging listeners to seek authenticity and treasure the unembellished truth of natural landscapes. Key Takeaways: AI-generated content is increasingly sophisticated, making it challenging to distinguish between reality and fiction. Deserts serve as natural educators, offering unbiased truths and teaching resilience, adaptation, and harmony. Misinformation isn't limited to one side of the political spectrum; all individuals must critically assess their beliefs. The desert's inherent truthfulness contrasts with the often manipulated realities we encounter through media and politics. Understanding natural environments, like deserts, requires slowing down and embracing complexity without preconceptions. Notable Quotes: "The desert is pretty honest about limits." "When does an untruth become a lie? A lie requires intent." "The desert is pretty firm in its stance that reality is not optional." "Truth in the desert is slow, and if you want to catch it, you slow down, too." "The desert never asks us to pick one story or the other. It just presents the facts in all their complexity." Resources: Coyote and Badger video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bICTWNRrGE Engage further with this insightful podcast episode to explore the interplay between environmental truth and societal narratives. Stay tuned for more episodes of 90 Miles from Needles, where the focus remains steadfastly on desert protection and the stories that shape our understanding of these vital ecosystems.

Today, is the Feast of the Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian religious sister who came to the United States to serve the Italian poor and ended up becoming one of the greatest forces for good in American history, founding dozens of orphanages, hospitals, and schools, during her 29 years in the States. It's also National Adoption Month, and we could think of no way better of honoring Mother Cabrini and furthering the conversation about adoption, than bringing in our good friend Dr. Kimberly Henkel, to talk with us about the importance of changing the adoption conversation in the Catholic Church today. As the co-founder of two apostolates, Springs in the Desert and Springs of Love, which serve couples struggling with infertility and discerning/pursuing adoption, Kimberly is doing incredible work to serve families that are often forgotten about in the Church today. We loved talking with her and hope you find our conversation as helpful as we did.

11/13/25 - We welcome Ann Koshute, co-founder of Springs in the Desert, a Catholic ministry dedicated to walking with those struggling with infertility. Ann shares her own journey and the mission behind Springs in the Desert: to bring hope, understanding, and healing to men and women who often suffer in silence. We discuss the emotional, spiritual, and even marital challenges that accompany infertility, and how faith transforms that suffering into a path toward deeper intimacy with God. Ann explains how Springs in the Desert creates community through retreats, podcasts, and resources that affirm the dignity of couples and remind them that their fruitfulness isn't limited to biological parenthood but can flourish in countless spiritual and creative ways.

What happens when an ER physician and a psychologist both hit burnout at the same time? In Dr. Jack Hay and Dr. Harry Pepper's case, they decided to build something different together.In this episode, Dr. Hay and Dr. Pepper share the real story behind opening Oberlin Ketamine Clinic in Ohio. Including their unique physician-psychologist partnership model, how they've made personalized music a core part of their ketamine therapy approach, and why they're so intentional about trauma-informed care.This isn't a polished success story. They walk us through their first-year challenges, the difference between integration coaching and traditional therapy (and why that distinction matters), and their philosophy of empowering patients to choose their own music playlists instead of prescribing one-size-fits-all soundtracks.What really stood out? How they've built their practice around their core values instead of just copying what other clinics are doing.What you'll gain

Luuk Bouwman is filmmaker. Hij maakte verschillende lange documentaires, waarvan een aantal een sterke link hebben met Noord-Brabant. De documentaires gaan vaak over individuen die een speelbal zijn van de geschiedenis. Zo maakte hij ‘Het is waar maar niet hier' en ‘De Propagandist', over grenzeloze ambitie en de manipulatieve kracht van film. Op het Internationaal Documentaire Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), dat 13 november van start gaat, is zijn nieuwe film ‘The Desert of the Real' te zien. The Desert of the Real' is een documentaire over de controle die een mens heeft over zijn eigen psyche. De grens tussen waanzin en rationeel verstand vervaagt naarmate de film vordert. Femke van der Laan gaat met Luuk Bouwman in gesprek.

The Joshua tree is an icon and ecological keystone of the California deserts. However, climate disruption with hotter, drier summers and more frequent brush fires, threatens that some day soon Joshua Tree National Park will no longer have any Joshua trees. We discuss these systems and investigate what solutions are needed. Are solar farms in the desert an appropriate renewable energy solution, or do they cause more harm than good? What about the consequences of lithium mining in Death Valley for electric vehicles? Did you know it is not a wise idea to grow your own Joshua Tree from imported seeds? Our guest, James Cornett [https://www.amazon.com/stores/James-W.-Cornett/author/B001K84BWE?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true], is an ecologist, author, and principal biologist at JWC Ecological Consultants. He is one of the West's most prolific writers with more than forty-four books published. As former Director of Natural Sciences at the Palm Springs Desert Museum, he continues to share his love of natural history through writing, teaching, and lecturing. He is the first professional naturalist to have visited all nine of the world's great deserts and is writing a book on his travels and research in each.

Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. 7 Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? 8 They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, 9 ‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.'2 Chronicles 20:14-17 NIV14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph, as he stood in the assembly. 15 He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 Tomorrow march down against them.

In this compelling episode of 90 Miles from Needles, host Chris Clarke engages in a deep conversation with Nick Graver as they explore the pressing challenges facing Joshua Trees and desert conservation efforts amid climate change and governmental policy swings. Recorded during the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history, this episode highlights the hurdles that scientists and conservationists face in protecting vulnerable species against the backdrop of political instability. The discussion spotlights key topics such as the impact of invasive species on desert ecosystems, the critical role of the Joshua Tree as a keystone species, and how recent wildfire patterns threaten these iconic symbols of the desert. Graver elaborates on the intricate science behind population modeling and stresses the urgency of coordinated governmental and scientific efforts to preserve these fragile landscapes. As federal support becomes erratic, this episode captures the essence of modern environmental advocacy and the relentless pursuit of conservation in uncertain times. Key Takeaways: The Joshua Tree faces significant threats from climate change, especially due to invasive grasses and increased occurrences of human-caused wildfires. There is a pressing need for diverse partnerships between governmental bodies, researchers, and indigenous communities to develop effective conservation strategies. Federal and state policy dynamics, including the effects of government shutdowns, severely impact the implementation of conservation efforts. Understanding the life history and reproductive patterns of Joshua Trees provides crucial insights for developing long-term conservation measures. Despite political barriers, continuous advocacy and research are critical to ensuring the survival of Joshua Trees and the broader desert ecosystem. Notable Quotes: "We've known for 15 or 20 years now that Joshua Trees in particular were threatened by climate change." "If there's nobody there to hear those ideas and implement those changes, then it's all pointless." "Joshua Trees occupy a substantial area in four U.S. states... and is a critically important species." "The trees that we plant in 2025... by the time that those trees grow to adulthood, it will already be 2070."

This week on Driving to the Rez, we're sharing a true story that sounds almost too wild to be true.It started with a stunning piece of land in the Colorado desert - raw, powerful, and shimmering with natural selenite and ancient fossils. But when Larry and I arrived, the scene was anything but peaceful. The property was covered in squatters, black magic, debris, and an eviction order that required everything to be cleared by hand, in just a few hours.Overwhelmed? That's an understatement. But what happened next transformed an impossible cleanup into an unforgettable adventure. Five people - Fred, Dr. Kara, Iliana, Teodor, and Ashley - each received their own nudge from the universe and drove over 1,000 miles to meet us there.Why would anyone take that kind of trip? What called them to the Colorado desert? And how did it all unfold once they arrived?What started as a desperate cleanup became a living lesson in manifestation, teamwork, and the magic that unfolds when people follow their inner knowing.From dusty RV convoys to laughter and UFOs under the desert stars, this episode reveals how even the most challenging circumstances can turn into an adventure- and how a group of friends transformed chaos into clarity.✨ Don't miss this inspiring real-life adventure.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Li Juan shouted, her voice echoing among the dunes.Zh: 那男子转头，有些惊讶，但随即笑了，“我叫浩。En: The young man turned around, a bit surprised, but then smiled, "My name is Hao.Zh: 我在旅行时听说了这里的传说。En: I heard about the legends here while traveling.Zh: 我想用古老的符号和艺术表达这些故事。En: I want to express these stories with ancient symbols and art."Zh: “这些是你画的？”李娟指着沙地上的图案，既惊讶又好奇。En: "Did you draw these?" Li Juan pointed to the patterns in the sand, both surprised and curious.Zh: “是的，我对这些传说着迷。En: "Yes, I'm fascinated by these legends.Zh: 希望让大家通过这些符号感受到故事的魅力。”浩解释道。En: I hope to let people feel the charm of the stories through these symbols," Hao explained.Zh: 李娟心中豁然开朗。En: Li Juan's mind suddenly cleared.Zh: 原来这并不是什么超自然现象，而是来自一个同样热爱故事的人。En: It turned out this wasn't some supernatural phenomenon, but from someone who also loved stories.Zh: 她突然产生了一个想法。“我们可以一起合作，用这些符号和故事庆祝中秋节。En: An idea struck her."We can collaborate to use these symbols and stories to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.Zh: 让大家看到它们的美和意义。En: Let everyone see their beauty and significance."Zh: 浩点了点头，“这是个好主意。En: Hao nodded, "That's a great idea.Zh: 我们可以在沙丘上举办一个故事和艺术的晚会。En: We can hold a story and art evening on the dunes."Zh: 于是，在那个特别的秋天夜晚，李娟和浩开始计划如何让村民们在中秋节见证这个奇妙的艺术与故事的结合。En: So, on that special autumn night, Li Juan and Hao began planning how to let the villagers witness this wonderful blend of art and story during the Mid-Autumn Festival.Zh: 李娟不仅找到了符号背后的真相，还在祖母的故事和现实之间架起了一座桥梁。En: Li Juan not only discovered the truth behind the symbols but also built a bridge between her grandmother's tales and reality.Zh: 当中秋节的月亮升起时，红色沙丘被灯笼的光辉点亮，李娟和浩的作品在满月的映照下闪闪发光，吸引了村子里所有人的注意。En: When the Mid-Autumn Festival moon rose, the red dunes were illuminated by the glow of lanterns, and the works of Li Juan and Hao sparkled under the light of the full moon, capturing the attention of everyone in the village.Zh: 故事和艺术、传统和现代交织在一起，在沙漠夜空下呈现出别样的美丽。En: Stories and art, tradition and modernity intertwined, presenting a unique beauty under the desert night sky.Zh: 李娟微笑着，终于找到了让传说和现实相遇的方法。En: Li Juan smiled, having finally found a way to bring legend and reality together.

Send us a textA church that prepares for the end of the world tells you everything about its present. We dig into Scientology's underground vaults built by the Church of Spiritual Technology—why they exist, how the etched steel archives are made, and the strange logic behind symbols carved into remote landscapes. The story gets less mystical and more material when you ask a simple question: who gets in, how, and what exactly is being protected?We also open the blinds on Int Base and the Hole, where pressure breeds cruelty and survival games replace ethics. Would Shelly Miscavige have steered the ship differently? Maybe on violence, not on doctrine. Disconnection, high-pressure money tactics, and family splits precede any one leader. And here's the number that matters: by 2005, Scientology held roughly a billion dollars in pre-paid services not delivered. That's a massive liability, which helps explain the pivot to pure donations and trophies with no obligation attached. If every paying member asked for the services they already bought, income could collapse for decades.Expect specifics, not slogans. We talk about where the plates are actually manufactured now, who supplies the titanium capsules, why transcripts of leadership meetings are scrubbed clean of expletives, and how event attendance shrinks while rosters inflate with names from the 1970s. We also speak directly to staff under pressure to join the Sea Org: you can walk away, and there's help when you do.It's not all grim. Our community's “Fake Navy Davy” photo contest uses humor to puncture the aura—placing the doll in capitols, burger joints, and make-believe cells—because laughter is a pressure valve and an invitation to look closer. We close with updates from the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation, including real rescues and the steady work of helping people rebuild a life.If this episode gave you clarity or courage, share it with a friend, subscribe for more deep dives, and leave a review so others can find it.

In a Halloween special packed with intel, humor, and high signal, Ghost dives deep into the tangled web connecting Venezuela, Colombia, and global power players. From Tucker Carlson's interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor to Maduro's quiet war on the cartels, Ghost exposes how the mainstream narrative hides a deeper battle between globalist corruption and a rising sovereign alliance led by Trump, Putin, Xi, and MBS. He breaks down the oil wars between Guyana and Venezuela, Trump's Asia tour and trade deals, Saudi Arabia's “Davos in the Desert,” and how the global economic order is being rewritten before our eyes. The episode also dissects Israel's Mossad scandals, the brewing conflicts in Gaza and Turkey, and Trump's surprising nuclear statements, all tied together with Ghost's signature insight, historical context, and a few family Halloween laughs.

The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonProduced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Nic Neves, and edited and designed by Jared Olson. Transcript of this episode coming soon!

In Episode 512: we are joined by James, who moved to Hollywood recently to help his career in the film industry after previously working out of Atlanta. One night, James and his friend went out to a bar where they met a guy who wanted to take them to another place to drink. Once they arrived at the new location, James' friend was so weirded out by the people he saw that he bailed and left James alone with his new acquaintance, who talked James into going to yet another party out in the desert, in a place called Joshua Tree, outside of Los Angeles. James wound up spending over 24 hours at that location, and he witnessed so many out-of-this-world things. There were vampires, cloaked figures around pentagrams, flying people, and portals opening up - and it all seemed to be focused around the guest of honor, James himself. As the danger rose, James found himself running for his life through the desert to escape these people who seemed to be grooming him as a sacrifice that night. This is one of the wildest stories we have ever had on The Confessionals, and James tells a riveting story, which could be chalked up to a tall tale by many - but James comes with the receipts that point to this event being very real.
