The US' lack of exit strategy from Iran becomes apparent as oil prices soar and Trump vacillates between talking about an "excursion" which will be "wrapped up very soon" and threatening to make it impossible "to recover that section of the world". To solve the problem of oil the US would have to take control of the Strait of Hormuz, but will that be possible without boots on the ground? Trump seems to think so but Sam and Edgar are sceptical.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Storytellers often try to use shame to enforce a message—but doing so quietly destroys character arc. In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explains why shame collapses characters into moral verdicts and turns storytelling into propaganda instead of discovery.What's the difference between guilt, shame, and conviction, and why does that difference matter for writers, filmmakers, and culture itself?For writers, filmmakers, and storytellers, the misuse of shame collapses characters into verdicts instead of people. When a story tells the audience who is morally acceptable and who is not, character complexity disappears and true transformation becomes impossible.In this episode you'll discover:• The critical difference between guilt, shame, and conviction • Why shame drains human agency and moral clarity • How shame is used as a tool of cultural control • Why many modern films feel ideological instead of human • The storytelling difference between theme and propaganda • How writers accidentally destroy character arc • Why dignity—not shame—is required for transformationWe'll also examine how films like Don't Look Up, Milk, Boys Don't Cry, American Beauty, the classic It's a Wonderful Life, and the series Downton Abbey reveal the tension between human storytelling and ideological messaging.For storytellers, this raises an urgent question:Are we inviting audiences into discovery… or coercing them into agreement?Because the moment shame replaces persuasion, storytelling stops being exploration and starts becoming propaganda.And when that happens, character arc dies.If you care about great storytelling, meaningful character development, and cultural honesty, this episode is for you.About The Storyteller's Mission The Storyteller's Mission helps writers craft stories grounded in truth, meaning, and moral clarity — stories that shape culture rather than merely reflect it.Keywords / Topics Coveredstorytelling craft, character arc, shame vs guilt, conviction and repentance, narrative psychology, propaganda in film, ideological storytelling, writing better characters, moral complexity in storytelling, story theme vs propaganda, storytelling philosophy, film analysis, writing advice for authors, screenwriting craft, storytelling and culture.Free Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

Many parents interpret their teen's behavior as disrespect—but what if your child is actually trying to answer a deeper question: Do I belong here? When we get triggered, our brains can quickly jump to worst-case assumptions about our teenagers—their attitude, their silence, their choices. That's where the biggest disconnects happen, and it's often not about defiance at all. It's about misunderstanding what teens need as they navigate identity, independence, and connection. In this episode, Dr. Kelly and I unpack some of the most common parenting pitfalls that create tension at home—and how to avoid them. We talk about how to stay calm in the moments that matter most, what's really going on developmentally with teens, and practical strategies you can start using today to build more trust, communication, and emotional safety in your relationship.
