Podcasts about Divisive

Back to where it all started... In the final episode of our miniseries on THE MATRIX, we talk about the DIVISIVE newest installment in the series, THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS. There's a LOT going on in this movie, and we do our best to talk about it all! Also, stay tuned until the end for some updates on our future schedule. (NOTE: When talking about the future of the show, I say 2021 instead of 2022. My bad, but also, leave me alone.)

Former poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Mercury-nominated songwriter Kathryn Williams have released new album 'Midnight Chorus'. We ask them about their collaboration and how they avoided the clichés of Christmas. With added pressure from Covid and fewer staff because of Brexit, the demand for care workers has risen. In October this year there were 130,000 vacant care worker posts in England, leaving many people without the care they need. Last week, government advisors said that care worker jobs should be placed on the shortage occupation list, which would make it easier for employers to hire and sponsor migrant workers in these roles. What would this mean for the care sector? Emma speaks to Karolina Gerlich, executive director of The Care Workers Charity and Louise Arnold, Managing Director of Peninsula care homes. There has been widespread concern for the safety of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai since she posted sexual assault allegations against a former top political figure a few weeks ago. She disappeared and then returned saying she was safe and well. Now the tennis player has denied saying she was sexually assaulted. What are we to make of this? Emma speaks to Kerry Allen, China Media analyst for BBC Monitoring. The Christmas Radio Times is out and we now know what TV we can look forward to watching over the festive period. But can TV divide a household rather than unite it? Are women the gatekeepers of family TV? Or do men rule the remote? Professor of Media and Communications, Catherine Johnson, has looked at the impact lockdown has had on our family TV watching styles, and journalist Emma Beddington tells us what she'll be tuning into in her house. Last week on the programme, we heard from Jess Duckworth - a junior doctor who has combined her two passions - music and medicine - to create an EP of relaxing music. We asked to hear about your side hustles, and the things you love doing. Today we meet two listeners; Lucy Symons is the stadium announcer for her local football club and Jenny Fyall runs her own pumpkin patch in Aberdeenshire.

This podcast considers the various factions that developed before Christ was born that bitterly divided God's people as we contemplate the divisions that exist in our world today.

Joe Biden is hoping to position himself and America as beacon of democracy. His virtual Summit for Democracy aims to fight corruption, authoritarianism, and the erosion of human rights. But the list of who was and wasn't invited has drawn criticism. Why did Washington decide to hold it? Has it actually achieved anything?

A bid to fly the Aboriginal flag at half mast on Australia Day across the Mornington Peninsula is “divisive and racist” say angry locals. The Reserve Bank of Australia has kept official interest rates on hold as widely expected but speculation of a 2022 move continues as fixed rate bargains disappear from the market. An Australian boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics is now under “active consideration” after the USA announced it was taking a diplomatic stand against human rights abuses. And the sales process for Melbourne Star is drawing to a close with administrators for the giant observation wheel getting ready to receive final offers.

La mia opinione

It's early morning here when I recorded this but I had to put my thoughts into words and share them: We had such high hopes for this technology especially for education but something changed along the way. There was a shift from connection and empowerment to divide and conquer, from expression to influence, from choice to dictation. Somewhere along the way, we lost the original internet, and now we all exist moslty in silos, many of us arguing about the world we see through our devices as they are quite divergent from each others. When people don't share a common perception of the world, it naturally creates conflict, fear, division, and distrust. Interestingly, this is why online courses can be so energizing and stand in contrast to this tendency: in a group you share and discuss the same experience as you would in real life, overcoming to a large degree the division. This is why so many of us have retreated from social media into private courses and communities online: they feel like the internet did 15 years ago! Here's my early morning thoughts on what has happened and what we can do about it as individuals. Let me know what your perspective is on this - that way we can connect, co-create reality, and make the world a better, more stable, and more wonderful place to live. Grow Abundantly, Learn Daily, & Live Regeneratively, Matt Powers

Bruised Review (starts at 1:04:30)Cowboy Bebop Review (starts at 1:16:15) Breaking Geek Radio: The Podcast is about analyzing geekdom and the things we like: an in-depth examination of movies, television, and culture. Expect reviews, a look at entertainment controversies, and other fun content! This Podcast is a once a week release coming out every Friday! We missed you last week, Space Cowboy, but hope you had a good Turkey day. Fortunately, we're back with all the news you need. Jammer (@jamthewriter) is out this week, which leaves the remainder of the Ladtastic 4, Danny (@dannykbartlett), Nick (@geekyNICKDOLL) and Jonesy (@sirjonesiest) react to the latest news out of Hollywood and review Cowboy Bebop and Bruised. First up, the gang revisits Eternals, as the writers reveal that yes, *that* character is in fact dead. We react to what that could mean for future sequels to the franchise and what we're looking forward to from the Eternals. Next up, we learn that Latitia Wright, who was initially reported to have minor injuries on the set of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will actually need more time to recover. As a result, the production for the sequel has gone into hiatus. Disney had already pushed the film from July to November of 2022 and it's still expected to make that release date. Hopefully, Wright makes a speedy recovery. Spider-Man isn't done in the MCU. We all new this, but news out of Hollywood from Producer Amy Pascal is that Marvel and Sony are prepping a new trilogy starring Tom Holland. Will they take place in the multiverse or somewhere else? Listen to find out! Later in the show, our resident gamekeeper, Nick Doll, talks all aspects of his excitement for the Jurassic World: Dominion prologue. Jonesy is muted in his reaction to this footage, as the opening to the last film was great and the remainder of the film's quality dropped off a cliff. In the world of Amazon, we're hearing that the studio is prepping a Mass Effect TV show. Between this, The Wheel of Time, The Expanse and the Lord of the Rings, Amazon is really carving out a place for itself in the world of fantasy and sci-fi. Earlier this year, Henry Cavill hinted he might be involved in the video game turned TV series. Who do you suppose he's playing? Finally, before the main events, we get a trio of trailers. Super Pets has an absolutely stacked cast, The Matrix déjà vu trailer tries to bring back that old magic and Peacemaker gives us a longer trailer before dropping in January. In the main event, the Lads talk two Netflix titles: Halle Berry's Bruised and Cowboy Bebop. The crew discuss the finer points of the film and series. Bruised crushes its premiere and nets Berry a multi flick deal with the streamer and will the muted to negative reaction to Cowboy Bebop mean we'll be saying "Goodnight, Julia?" All this and more on this week's episode of Breaking Geek Radio: The Podcast

I mean it! I cannot think of a more divisive topic, and I figured as current events swirl, it's time to broach the subject with our thoughts. Before it though... I received a very strange package yesterday at my home.  To me the Oxford tragedy became even more painful and unimaginable.  After THE A topic, is this the greatest era of paleontology ever? A potential basketball megastar is right here in Toledo. On Laskey. Candle stars are here, but they're hardly known? My Cyber Monday 'failure' showed up!

The guys go in on Dale Brown and how he's going to get someone killed, breakdown why technology has made us impatient, discuss the worst minor injuries, best activity for a first date, and more

226 In his episode, I use Matthew 12:22-30 as the example Jesus used to call out the religious  Pharisees.If the body of Christ is going to prevail in this "crazy" world we are living in today we must find common ground and stop calling out different people in the church because they see things differently.If you and I use the Bible and the Holy Spirit as our guide we will come together and build God's kingdom.

Divisive content is all around us. In our history, in our social media, and in our news, we see stories that highlight our differences and polarize us as humans.  Today, we speak with John Noltner, photographer and storyteller, who has for years been on a mission to find what connects us. Shortly after the election of President Obama, Noltner felt troubled by our nation's racist rhetoric, which uncovered how much work we have left to do in the wake of justice and humanity. So he did what all good journalists do: he set out to find as many stories as he could. Now, he travels the country in search of people and stories—and he challenges himself to keep showing up to difficult discussions.  How does he get others to open up to him? He gains their trust by listening and accepting. Find his stories, his bio, his photos, and his blog at His next book, Portraits of Peace is available . Like this episode?

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish debates, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, because they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning. 11 For you know that such a person has gone astray and is sinning; he is self-condemned.

We've approached one of the most divisive episodes of Community and certainly of season four: "Intro to Felt Surrogacy."

Welcome to the first day of vaccine mandate.  Today was the deadline for teachers and health workers to have had at least one shot of the Covid vaccination.  We all know this has caused some consternation amongst members of those professions who have an antipathy towards the vaccine, and amongst those people against government compulsion.  In fact, there has been a cacophony of calls suggesting that this issue is splitting the nation. Headlines, commentators and talkback callers claim that this is the most divisive issue in our history.  But is it really? To be divisive, you really need to be split 50/50 on an issue, yet in vaccinations we are already pushing 80 percent double vaccinated. That is a very large majority of the country.  What we have is a very loud minority who are prepared to shout division at the top of their lungs.  It is interesting how many of our politicians are pro-vaccination but anti-mandates.  Even the Prime Minister was reticent. Today, David Seymour calls the mandates divisive and mean-spirited, even though as the personal choice party he should also be supporting the businesses who make a personal choice to employ who they want.  It's important to realise that these mandates proposed by the Government are mostly for their employees. The doctors, nurses, teachers and firefighters which covers 40 percent of the population.  It should also be noted that private companies are doing the exact same thing.  Whether it's Spark or The Warehouse or Air New Zealand or my very own company.  The non-vaxxed will not be let into our studio doors and negotiations with non-vaxxed staff will hinge around them staying at home.  So, whether it's government order or just the domination of the wishes of the vast majority, there will one rule for the vaxxed and another for the non-vaxxed. It's your personal choice  The mandates are a fact of life. They're not hear to oppress you but to preserve your health and the health of others around you.    They are compulsion. Just like the compulsion that was conscription and compulsory military service which led servicemen to die in defence of your freedoms in the first place 

“Baptism is also an illustration of Christ's death and burial, and resurrection. It's meant to be a public declaration of faith in Christ. It's meant to be a step of identification with him. It's meant to be a proclamation of desire to follow him.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston   Hello Kitchen Table Theology Family!  In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton are beginning a new series on the ordinances of the church. Jesus left his church with these wonderful practices, but why is there's so much confusion and disagreement among Christians regarding these things? [00:01] Why Are the Ordinances of the Church so Divisive? This episode is brought to you by Your Greatest Adventure: Taking the Next Steps in Your Faith by Pastor Jeff Cranston If these practices are meant to unite the body of Christ, why is there so much disagreement?  Ordinance and Sacraments refer to the same thing. It may not make any difference, with which verbiage to use but it all comes down to how we define themAre differing views of Baptism enough cause to a sever among the church? [09:05] The Importance of Baptism  Baptism is Intended to be an initial act of obedience to ChristAn illustration of Christ's death and burial, and resurrectionMeant to be a public declaration of faith in Christ Meant to be a step of identification with him Meant to be a proclamation of desire to follow himJesus commanded us to be baptized Baptism is a foundational truth of the Christian faith (Hebrews 6:1-2) [11:19] How Should We Baptize? This is a highly debated topicEvidence presented that baptism by immersion was carried out  in the New Testament Βαπτίζω (Greek word for baptize) meaning to plunge to dip, or to immerse in.Scriptural references in Mark 1 and John 3:23 The symbolism of baptism by immersion portrays the union we have with Christ and His death, His burial and His resurrection [16:39] Final Thoughts    Final words - We read a listener's review!  Connect with us!  Key Quotes“Baptism is intended to be an initial act of obedience to Christ.

Politics is a subject that a lot of people think about, but avoid because of the possible negative repercussions.  In today's society, we are now in fear of saying something politically incorrect or saying something that offends someone.  This is happening in all of our relationships including family, friends, co-workers, peers in networking groups, clients and on social media.  The Novaks give suggestions on how to deal with disagreements and avoid conflict.

Divisive rhetoric on the national stage may have subsided, but in our own communities, congregations, and even families, Americans may be more divided than ever.

MOVIE DISCUSSION:   Happy Halloween! In this extra episode of the podcast, Melvin & Dan discuss the latest entry in the Halloween franchise! If you've been a part of the online discussion, or at least aware of how people feel about Halloween Kills, then you're in for a treat! Daniel didn't like Halloween Kills, but Melvin did! Thus begins some great Halloween banter! Topics: Melvin really wants to talk about Halloween Kills, so they waste no time and jump right into it.Chronicling the various canon of the Halloween franchise, and laying the framework between Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills.Daniel was on board with Halloween Kills for about 20-30 minutes, and then it started to lose him.Daniel also feels Halloween Kills takes itself too seriously, trying to elevate a franchise whose groundwork is based in simplicity.CinemaScore was at Melvin's screening and he gave Halloween Kills an A! His wife Kathryn gave it a C.Melvin suspects David Gordon Green is creating his Halloween Trilogy of movies to be something people routinely binge during the month of October, similar to watching the extended cuts of Lord of the Rings. Melvin didn't like Halloween (2018), putting it at #63 out of the 68 movies he's seen from 2018, but he suspects that Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills pair together well as a double feature which would probably improve his experience with Halloween (2018).Halloween Kills spends time having characters try and figure out who Michael Myers is only to graciously have Michael Myers immediately show up to murder them.Melvin suspects a lot of what contributes to his positive thoughts on Halloween Kills is due to a fun theater experience with a lively, engaged audience.Celebrating that Donald Pleasance was not resurrected via CGI but rather Dr. Loomis was brought back via another actor, prosthetics, and voice acting.For Daniel, even though the movie loses itself, it never stops being engaging.Discussing the bizarre mob sub-plot, how it sort of means nothing, yet incidentally correlates socially as a reminder of how absurd January 6th really is.Talking about the best characters all year: Big John & Little John.The movie has so many "movie lines" where characters just say things you only say in the movies.Is Michael Myers homophobic? Let's discuss.Is this trilogy trying to turn Michael Myers into some sort of Jason Voorhees super-powered adjacent?Recommendations:  F.F.

This week we talk about divisiveness at work. Divisive opinions at work are an example of divisiveness in the world ... people seem to be on one side or the other of so many issues, and we can't remember a time when people have been so polarized. We love the saying “Let's agree to disagree." -- thank you David Campt for going deeper on that with us in Episode 52 (https://realjobtalk.com/52-coming-together-to-end-2020-with-david-campt) -- and we try to use it whenever possible. By diviseness, we're talking about when there are different camps who don't come together - or people who like to make work political. We agree that good leaders help build alignment and cohesiveness. Building respect around the mission -- and a leader who demands respectful interaction -- helps to bring people together to work towards common goals. Taking a time out can also work. When you're feeling emotional, take a time out and find a time to talk it through at another time. Some roles that these dividers can take at work: The Whisperer. You know them: the person who goes cube to cube whispering (but they don't go to SOME people's cubes) or is calling ⅔ of the team members. This person who promotes exclusivity and in- vs out-groups. This person might recommend you say something in a meeting, but when you stick your neck out, they don't back you up. The Exhausted person. When we're fried, we're not as resilient, and we're not our best selves ... so sometimes stress and lack of resilience brings out bad behavior. The Bully. They need boundaries or they will run over everyone, so you need to push back or they'll get out of control. Shout out to Sarah Noll Wilson in Episode 26 (https://realjobtalk.com/26-leadership-training-neurodiversity-sarah-noll-wilson) and her call to leadership to go deeper and see their people as HUMANS and to teammates who acknowledge stress and offer to help/cover and work together to take a minute. If your team is divided, you can talk with your leadership privately to tell them what you're seeing and ask for help in bringing people together. How do you work with a divisive person? Try to talk 1:1, document divisive behavior, try to align with everyone in the group in hopes that others won't exclude you. Raise your hand to show that you're capable and want to work with others. Humor is a great way to diffuse a tough work situation. Making people laugh can really bring stress levels down. When nothing is working, talk with your boss and ask for suggestions of how we can work together. Sometimes things get heated, and it's ok to take some time off and come back when you're calm. Write the emotional email as a journal entry, and then write another that's kind, compassionate, and helpful with the goal towards working together.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 239: Connecting in Divisive Times with Sinéad O'Connor   Description: These are divisive times, both online in yoga communities and beyond that. Some people are for the vaccine, some people are against it, some people have questions and are uncertain about their stance. Yet, these divisions are the opposite of what yoga is about. This podcast is all about connections, and we need to be mindful about how we can extend care to ourselves, those around us, as well as the planet and every living creature.   In this episode, Sinéad O'Connor talks from her perspective as someone with an underlying health condition living through the pandemic.
