On this week's Mentioned in Dispatches podcast, Tim Halstead discusses the connections between London schools and the Territorial Force during the Great War. While the contribution of Public Schools to the Officer Corps is well known, this talk focuses on the less-explored role of Grammar Schools. Drawing on Rolls of Service from both school types in and around London, Halstead sheds light on their strong links to specific regiments and their wider wartime influence. This talk was part of the London Pride Conference held in June 2024.

The European Union isn't just complicit in the U.S. empire — it's helping drive it. In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Marc Botenga, a Belgian Member of the European Parliament with the Workers' Party of Belgium, about how Europe became a willing footsoldier for NATO's wars, U.S. economic domination, and Israel's genocide in Gaza.Botenga doesn't mince words. He calls Europe's role in Gaza a European genocide. He explains why supporting peace in Ukraine is taboo, how censorship is expanding under the pretext of fighting antisemitism, and why some of the European left is drifting into militarism.As one of the only anti-imperialist voices in Brussels, Botenga breaks down what it means to resist from within the halls of EU power, how “green colonialism” is dressed up as climate policy, and why hope, and international solidarity, still matter.Watch the full interview and support independent journalism: https://www.patreon.com/BreakthroughNews 

On this week's Mentioned in Dispatches podcast, John Davy examines the London Regiment's links with the Royal Flying Corps and RAF during the Great War. Using primary sources, he offers a statistical analysis of the men who joined the RFC via the London Regiment and considers the impact of their loss on their original battalions. This episode was recorded for the London Pride Conference in June 2024.

In this episode of Perspectives, Escala Chief Investment Officer, Tracey McNaughton, presents from New York where she discusses her observations from being on the ground. Following meetings with portfolio managers, economists, political strategists and financial advisers across four US states she discusses how President Trump's trade war is being perceived. (0:52) Tracey, let's start with some observations of what you have seen and heard on the ground. What stood out the most? (1:51) How about the cities? You spent time in Chicago and New York, right? (2:48) What are people saying about China over there? (3:30) And how are the ports doing? I've been hearing some concerning things. (4:25) Did you get any fresh data on trade? (5:48) Let's switch gears a bit. You mentioned some cultural shifts too? (6:36) And tech? (7:40) Let's pivot to markets. Tracey, you've said it feels like a period of stasis. Can you unpack that? (8:22) So what's the disconnect? (9:19) Let's talk specifically about earnings. What's the mood? (10:28) And currency? (10:58) You mentioned the CFA Conference that you went to in Chicago. What was the big takeaway? (11:28) So private equity is in vogue. Why? (12:50) That's huge. What does this mean for junior analyst roles? (13:14) One of the issues we hear a lot about with private equity is the drop off in public listings. Is this an issue for the asset class do you think? (14:14) Let's turn to geopolitics before we wrap. The new UK-US trade deal got quite a bit of airtime in the press. What's your take? (15:33) Do you think we will see the US become more isolated? (16:45) And what about Europe? We've heard a lot about the EU being slow to act in the past—has that changed? (17:23) So you're saying US protectionism is acting like a catalyst to make Europe great again?

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESSIt was the summer of 2019. I experienced an earthquake, a car accident, and the difficult birth of an original theater piece, which came to be known as "Toxic Shocks". The project was suggested in order to address some issues surrounding student's concerns, which will be enumerated within.This necessitated a new approach to theatrical devisement (is that a word?) --, and I embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. Despite my being all in, things got a bit rocky.The passages from the diary describe the difficult birthing process, and the effect on my dream life.

This is a big week for us, since we officially re-launched the newsletter on our gorgeous new web address Riskgaming.com, which we are now hosting on Substack. You'll find all of our archives there, as well as much easier tools to manage your subscription to our Dispatches, Event Announcements, our edited Interviews and after almost a decade, Lux Recommends.We've had thousands of new people subscribe and follow us over the past two years, and so I figured this re-launch week was also an opportune time to recirculate one of my absolute favorite episodes of the podcast from three years ago in May 2022. Daniel Kahneman, alongside his long-time research partner Amos Tversky, pioneered the field now broadly known as decision science, exploring the economics, incentives, tradeoffs and psychologies of humans making judgments in moments of uncertainty. Tversky would pass away in 1996, and Kahneman would win the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics for much of the work they partnered together on.In the months after our recording, Kahneman made an extraordinary decision under uncertainty of his own. Concerned about his future risk for dementia, he decided to travel to Switzerland at the age of 90 to pass away through assisted suicide. It was an astonishing final decision by the master of decision-making, and he conducted his final act in secrecy before it was revealed in The Wall Street Journal in a column by Jason Zweig last month.I had the opportunity to host Kahneman alongside World Series of Poker champion Annie Duke, legendary investment strategist Michael Maubaussin of Morgan Stanley's Counterpoint Global and our own founding managing partner Josh Wolfe for a lunch debate on the current research and trends underpinning risk, bias and decision-making. We merged our four part original series down to two parts. This week, we cover the ideas of pre-mortem as well as dissonance reduction and what circumstances lead people to changing their minds at all.

April 25, 2025 - In a new excerpt from Dispatches from Planet Albany, we broke down the evolving field of GOP gubernatorial candidates with Republican communications consultant Chapin Fay.

But that's a scam.Historian of Palestine Zachary Foster joins @RaniaKhalek on Dispatches to discuss. He exposes how the pro-Israel establishment in the Jewish American community is helping the Trump administration weaponize antisemitism to justify genocide in Palestine and fascist policies at home, and how empire is using Judaism as a human shield for imperial conquest.The full episode is available only to Breakthrough News members.

The Gaza genocide isn't just happening on the ground. It's being enforced through code, algorithms, blacklists, and billion-dollar tech firms.Meta is censoring the truth. Microsoft is complicit in the genocide machine. AI is targeting students. Rupert Murdoch's empire manufactures the lies to justify it all.This isn't the future, it's now.

The vaunted techno producer discusses the connections between visual art and music, balancing a full-time career as a fine artist and how he creates his signature sound. There's a connection between visual art and dance music that's seldom explored on our channels. Mike Parker is well known in the underground techno scene for minimal, hypnotic and beautifully executed sound design that sits somewhere at the edges of club music. But he also received his master's degree in fine art and teaches drawing and painting at Daemon University in Buffalo, New York. Fans of Parker will recognise his visual trademark: monochromatic prints that adorn the covers of the records he puts out on his label, Geophone. In this RA Exchange, Parker sits down with Chloe Lula to talk about how he balances his art- and music-making practices and how they inform each other. He also opens up about the long process of sticking to his sound and finding an audience rather than catering to the demands and suggestions of labels and distributors. His 2001 breakout album, Dispatches—which he reissued last year—is a meditation on the act of living far away from any listeners or immediate influences, and he discusses the ongoing drawbacks and rewards of balancing the Eurocentric pursuit of DJing with day-to-day work that's so geographically removed. He also opens up about his longtime collaboration with Donato Dozzy, his love of mid-20th-century sci-fi movies and how free-form radio shaped his approach to music and art. Listen to the episode in full.

​British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been formally charged with multiple sexual offenses by the Metropolitan Police Service. The charges include one count each of rape, indecent assault, and oral rape, along with two counts of sexual assault. These allegations involve four separate women and pertain to incidents that allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2005 in locations such as Bournemouth and Westminster, London. The investigation was initiated in September 2023 following reports by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times. Brand has consistently denied these accusations, asserting that all his relationships during that period were consensual. He is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 2, 2025.In addition to the charges in the United Kingdom, Brand is facing legal challenges in the United States. An anonymous woman, identified as Jane Doe, has filed a civil lawsuit in New York, alleging that Brand sexually assaulted her during the filming of the 2011 movie "Arthur." The lawsuit also names Warner Bros. as a defendant. Brand's legal team has expressed concern about the potential for criminal charges in the U.S., citing the overlap between the U.S. civil case and the U.K. criminal proceedings. Despite these legal issues, Brand is scheduled to speak at Florida's New College on April 12, 2025, discussing topics related to free speech and cancel culture. The college's decision to proceed with his appearance has sparked debate, given the serious nature of the allegations against him.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Russell Brand hit with five sexual assault charges | Fox News

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Farah Nabulsi joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to talk about her powerful new film The Teacher, an emotional and political drama set in the occupied West Bank.Inspired by true events, The Teacher follows a Palestinian schoolteacher as he confronts personal trauma, settler violence, and the capture of an Israeli soldier by the resistance, forcing impossible moral decisions that reflect the brutal reality of life under military occupation.The film captures the full spectrum of colonial violence, from land theft and demolitions to military raids and daily humiliation, and it does so without reducing Palestinians to one dimensional victims or symbols. It's raw, grounded, and quietly revolutionary.

The past several days have seen horrifying sectarian massacres in Syria. Over 1,000 people have been killed, mostly Alawites and some Christians, in Latakia and Tartus. The perpetrators? Sectarian death squads from HTS, led by Syria's new president, Mohammed al-Jolani—formerly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria.Western media is whitewashing these atrocities, falsely framing them as “revenge” against pro-Assad remnants. But the truth is clear: Syria is now controlled by Salafi jihadists who openly target minorities. How did this happen? What is the reality on the ground? And why is the media complicit in covering up genocide?Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier joins Dispatches for a special live episode to break down the facts the media won't tell you.

The field of psychoanalysis has long colluded with Zionism, justifying Israeli crimes while pathologizing Palestinian resistance. Lara Sheehi, an assistant professor of clinical psychology and author of “Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine,” was targeted for being unapologetically anti-Zionist.
