Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a 17th-century Mexican nun, poet, playwright, composer, and all-around intellectual menace to the patriarchy. In this episode of Queens Podcast, we trace Sor Juana's rise from hacienda library goblin to celebrated court intellectual and how she used wit, logic, and theology to argue that women deserved education because women are people. Radical stuff. Paired with a twist on the Paloma cocktail, we explore her poems like You Foolish Men and essays such as Respuesta a Sor Filotea, works that helped shape modern feminist thought centuries before feminism had a name. Sor Juana did not just challenge misogyny. She out-argued it, and history is still taking notes.

As Donald Trump floats the idea of seizing Greenland and dismisses long-standing alliances, Congress remains largely silent. The Republican Party—once defined by constitutional restraint—now hesitates to confront a president testing the boundaries of executive power. This video explores how unchecked rhetoric, authoritarian instincts, and congressional inaction are colliding at a critical moment for American democracy.

Chris Anderson was inspired by the growth of TED once they expanded from being simply a conference company to adding the concept of offering their talks free to the world over the internet.   He's now calling on us all to "reclaim the internet" and use it as a force for spreading less hate and division and more kindness and generosity.  His new book, Infectious Generosity, lays out clearly the reasons why generosity is good for the world — as well as for us as individuals — then details a plan by which this movement can spread virally.  Chris's views on these subjects are aligned perfectly with the work of The Optimism institute and he shares them with great enthusiasm in this uplifting and inspiring episode of Blue Sky.    Chapters:  00:00 Welcome Chris Anderson to Blue Sky  Bill Burke welcomes Chris Anderson, head of TED, to the Blue Sky Podcast. Chris discusses his new book, "Infectious Generosity," and his mission to use the internet as a force for good, combating online division.  02:14 TED's Impact and TEDx's Success  Chris shares how TED made its videos freely available online, which surprisingly enhanced the conference rather than hurting it. He explains the success of TEDx, a free licensing model that enabled 65,000 volunteers to create events globally, generating billions of views.  06:00 The Internet's Downfall and Human Nature  Chris discusses how the internet, especially social media, went astray, preying on our 'lizard brains' and promoting outrage.   11:47 Generosity and Happiness  Chris explains the deep connection between generosity and happiness, citing a Chinese proverb that highlights helping others as a path to lifelong joy. He emphasizes that while the internet can be negative, it also offers a powerful tool for spreading positive change.  15:57 Reclaiming the Internet: Tactics  Chris discusses tactics for reclaiming the internet, focusing on making 'good stuff' go viral by evoking authentic human emotion. He uses the example of 'The Kindness Pandemic' Facebook group and highlights the need for creativity and courage to break through online negativity.  21:09 Our Role in Shaping Social Media  Chris emphasizes that users are not helpless in shaping their social media experience, stressing the importance of conscious choices in who to follow and what content to engage with.   27:47 The Uniqueness of Our Time and Generosity Strategy  Chris highlights the unique historical moment that allows for widespread generosity due to frictionless digital sharing and its reputation-building power.   33:06 Embracing Imperfect Generosity and Gratitude Chris encourages letting go of the idea of 'perfect generosity,' urging celebration of all motivations behind giving, even those with mixed intentions.   39:25 Podcast Recommendation and Host Reflections  Bill Burke recommends 'Two Lives,' a character-driven narrative podcast about overcoming darkness, which has received several awards.  42:21 Neuroplasticity, Optimism, and AI for Good  Chris discusses neuroplasticity and how our narratives shape us, emphasizing that kindness, like a muscle, grows with exercise. He introduces the Infectious Generosity Guru (TIG), an AI tool designed to help individuals brainstorm ways to spread generosity online.  49:15 A Vision for a Better Future  Chris outlines his continued work with TED, focusing on the Audacious Project to collaboratively fund large-scale change initiatives. He emphasizes that optimism is a stance—a determined effort to find and illuminate pathways to a better future, urging collective action to reclaim the internet and inspire change.

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation** Whether it's some within the Minneapolis Somali community racking in millions of dollars from government grants for fraudulent businesses or severely unqualified illegal aliens obtaining commercial truck driving licenses, these groups were “categorized by officials as on the victimized, oppressed side of the lecture. And therefore, they were not completely audited. Because, if they had been audited, the cries of racism, nativism, etc., prejudice, bias would've been voiced. And people didn't want to be exposed to that,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” These non-meritocratic DEI recipients are thrown into a self-perpetuating system that encourages them to continuously engage in illegal activity as they will never face consequences for their actions. When audits stop, deterrence dies—and corruption thrives.

In the first episode of our series, we follow the rise of Akbar, a teenage ruler who inherits a fragile empire, surrounded by enemies and nearly bankrupt. Akbar expands Mughal power through conquest, but his most consequential struggles are ideological. As religious hardliners urge him to impose stricter Islamic rule, he chooses a different path: abolishing the jizya, protecting Hindu worship, and insisting that an empire built on exclusion cannot endure. Yet tolerance carries a price. In his attempt to forge a new, universal faith, Akbar begins to alienate many of those he rules and many of those closest to him. And far beyond India's shores, a new threat is taking shape. Across the seas, the rising power of England casts a jealous eye on the immense wealth of the Mughal world... A story of empire, belief, and tolerance. The opening chapter in our "Downfall Of The Mughals" series. ⁠⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Sources and Attributions on our website.

Under Putin, Russia has established a relationship with Venezuela, and was heavily involved in the country until recent years. The Chavez and then Maduro regimes bought Russian weapons with sizeable loans from the Kremlin, Moscow ordered its energy companies to invest in Venezuelan oil fields, and Russia boasted of having secured a foothold in the U.S.'s backyard. With Trump's swift and successful operation to arrest Maduro, the situation has changed. What are the implications for Russia's global posture? What can the Kremlin do, and will it do anything? Will deposing Maduro lead to a situation in which Venezuelan oil floods global markets with U.S. help?

In this episode of The Soft Life Error, I unpack why I believe the Black Lives Matter movement was morally justified but strategically flawed—and how poor execution can create unintended consequences. From decentralized leadership and shifting narratives to allyship, backlash, and the rise and fall of DEI, I explore how a movement meant to protect Black lives lost control of its message. This isn't a denial of racism or injustice—it's a critique of strategy, outcomes, and accountability. If we're serious about progress, we have to be honest about what worked, what didn't, and who ultimately paid the price.

The Niagara IceDogs are a hockey franchise marked by controversy.Over nearly two decades, the team has been plagued by ownership scandals, broken promises, league investigations, suspensions, fines, and repeated questions about its internal culture.Since their arrival in St Catherines, there has been a pattern of on-ice and off-ice failure that has held the team back from greatness.Can an organization with this history truly rebuild? Let's dive in.

He shares personal anecdotes to underline the power of faith, the simplicity of God's guidance, and the significance of knowing His word.

"Would you hand the fate of your nation to someone who never finished high school?" This episode opens with a question that sets the stage for a gripping exploration of Venezuela's dramatic journey from prosperity to crisis. Kent Hance takes listeners on a vivid ride through the country's history, revealing how the world's richest oil reserves became a symbol of squandered potential and political missteps. Listeners will be hooked by Kent's storytelling as he draws powerful comparisons between Venezuela and Texas, highlighting how leadership choices can make or break a nation. The episode unpacks the rise of Hugo Chavez and the astonishing ascent of Nicolás Maduro, a former bus driver whose leadership led to widespread poverty and chaos. Kent's signature wit shines as he shares memorable moments, including the covert military operation that toppled Maduro and the celebration of Venezuelans eager for change. Key themes and moments include: The staggering gap between Venezuela's oil wealth and its economic reality The origins of OPEC and its Texas connection Personal stories of hope, loss, and resilience from Venezuelans forced to flee their homeland The secret mission "Absolute Resolve," which changed the course of history in a single weekend Kent's reflections on leadership, with unforgettable lines like, "Pick your battles wisely," and "You get what you pay for." This episode is packed with hard-hitting insights, historical context, and Kent's trademark humor.

Among the many cool characters from the Viking Age that are brought to life in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is Alfred the Great. Before his military success against the vikings, Alfred also boasts one of the all-time great comeback stories. In January 878 all looked lost: Alfred was hiding in marshlands, his army defeated and scattered, and the Vikings controlled his kingdom. The key event that almost saw the end of Anglo-Saxon England was the Battle of Chippenham.Assassin's Creed Valhalla recreates the battle and puts players in the heart of combat. But what do we really know about the battle? How big was a viking army? What did the Anglo-Saxons count as a 'real' battle?To help answer these questions, Matt Lewis is joined by Professor Ryan Lavelle from the University of Winchester. In addition to writing Alfred's Wars: Sources and Interpretations of Anglo-Saxon Warfare in the Viking Age, he consulted on Assassin's Creed Valhalla.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

The latest batch of Ireland's State Papers have been released, lifting the lid on confidential files from years gone by. One standout piece of information concerns arguably the greatest crisis ever faced by the British royal family – the abdication of King Edward VIII in December 1936. But what role did Ireland and Éamon de Valera play in the fallout of that monumental event? And why did the UK government want it kept secret for 90 years? Host: Fionnán Sheahan Guest: Ralph Riegel  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The night starts with chaos—copyright worries, a broken chair, and a mood hanging by a thread—and then shifts into something a lot more meaningful: a 10-day pilgrimage to Italy designed for depth, safety, and affordability. We walk through the route that blends history and holiness—Rome, Pompeii, Capri, Naples, Loreto, Lanciano, Assisi, Orvieto—and explain why we're keeping it to one bus and targeting around four thousand dollars: intimacy over hype, substance over markup, and a chance for travelers who've hesitated to finally say yes.From there, we step straight into the week's storm around TPUSA and the conservative media world. What happens when movements turn into personality cults, when symbols become props, and when emotion is the product? We unpack how factional tribes—Candace, Tucker, Fuentes, BAP—monetize outrage and keep us scrolling, while core Christian realities like sin, penance, and the interior life get sidelined. The result is a culture war that looks spiritual but rarely calls for conversion. Our push is simple: trade spectacle for repentance, and public drama for real prayer and virtue.We also tackle the pressure inside the Church: the fatigue of constant scandal, the unnatural posture of permanent suspicion toward the hierarchy, and the ache for true spiritual fatherhood. We're not calling for theatrics or caricatures of masculinity; we're asking for priests and bishops whose presence is steady, fatherly, and ordered to the salvation of souls. Finally, we confront the hot-button debates—Zionism, media narratives, and what can be questioned—arguing for honest inquiry without sensationalism and a theological lens that prioritizes human dignity, history, and clarity.If you're ready for a conversation that ditches performative outrage and aims at real renewal—plus a concrete way to encounter the sacred in Italy—hit play.

Rachel Maddow shares a look at how outrage over government corruption in Bulgaria prompted massive protests and eventually the resignation of the prime minister and his government. And in the United States, for all of Donald Trump's unpopular policies being protested across the country, the self-dealing and corruption that has become his administration's hallmark may ultimately be what leads to Trump's downfall. Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first exposed the scandal of how the Jeffrey Epstein case was handed, talks with Rachel Maddow about feedback she is receiving from survivors of Epstein's abuse about finding their own names in released documents despite heavy redactions that appear to make a greater priority of protecting the identities and information of people involved with Epstein than to protect his victims as the law instructs.Rep. Jamie Raskin joins to discuss how an ownership change and recent editorial decisions by CBS News is raising concerns that Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him are making progress on building state media.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to tackle the question Washington won't confront: what happens when a president's cognitive decline is visible but systematically rationalized by those around him. Wolff describes how Trump's inner circle shields alarming behavior as “Trump being Trump,” even as voters recognize familiar warning signs from their own families. He also explains the significance of Susie Wiles' long-standing relationship with Marco Rubio, and why her influence still shows in his disciplined, professional posture as Trump spirals. As Trump's grandiosity accelerates—from galloping speeches to branding national institutions—Coles asks why no one is willing to take the keys away, and what that silence means for the country.

Dictionary.com's word of the year isn't really a word — it's a number that went viral on TikTok. The selection caused a ruckus among lexicographers. But editors argued that social media is a major force in creating new words these days, and the whole point of choosing a word of the year is to “reveal the stories we tell about ourselves and how we've changed.”It's no surprise to author Stefan Fatsis, who chronicles the rise of the modern dictionary in his new book, “Unabridged: The Thrill of and Threat to the Modern Dictionary.” He joined Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to nerd out over words and to talk about the power the humble dictionary has to shape our lives. “Language bubbles up from below,” Fatsis says. “For at least the last 60 years, the dictionary's function is to be descriptive, to reflect back on culture the way we humans use language — as opposed to prescriptive, the belief for many generations, which was that dictionaries should tell people how to use language.”Fatsis also talks about his time being embedded as a lexicographer-in-training at America's most famous dictionary publisher, Merriam-Webster, and how the internet and AI threaten this most foundational of books. Guest:Stefan Fatsis is a journalist and the author of many books. He's also responsible for defining 15 words in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, including a Kerri Miller favorite — sheeple. His new book is “Unabridged: The Thrill of and Threat to the Modern Dictionary.”Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.
