H.W. Brands explains how, following the massacre in Poland, Roosevelt sought to modify the Neutrality Acts—laws passed in the mid-1930s specifically to prevent the types of economic and travel entanglements that had drawn the U.S.into World War I. Roosevelt argued that providing weapons to Britain and France would allow them to defend themselves, thereby keeping American troops out of the conflict. Lindbergh and anti-interventionist Senators like Burton Wheeler and Robert Borah remained deeply skeptical, believing Roosevelt was being "transactional" and dishonest about his true intent to lead the U.S. into a new European order. Roosevelt countered by attacking his critics early, using the word "isolation" like a "plague" and characterizing their views as well-meaning but ignorant. While some suggested Lindbergh as a potential 1940 Republican presidential candidate, he refused to enter politics, preferring to challenge the president through the airwaves. Roosevelt carefully shaped public opinion, fearing the type of backlash Woodrow Wilson faced for getting too far ahead of the populace. When France fell in just six weeks to the German Blitzkrieg in 1940, Lindbergh felt vindicated, arguing that American troops would have merely been trapped on the beaches. Meanwhile, Winston Churchill manipulated Roosevelt with warnings that a falling British government might surrender its fleet to Germany, successfully pressuring the president to send American destroyers to Britain.

The Death Messenger of MellincourtThree knocks.A cold winter night.And a visitor who never arrives by chance.In this haunting journey into the folklore of the Neath Valley, Owen Staton ventures deep into the shadows of Welsh belief to uncover the chilling tale of The Death Messenger. Drawn from the pages of nineteenth-century folklore, this unforgettable story tells of Modryb Nan of Mellincourt, an old woman who receives a mysterious midnight visitor dressed in black. A figure whose face is never seen. A figure everyone knows, yet nobody dares name.As the fire burns low and moonlight spills across the mountains, a young man witnesses a terrifying encounter that will stay with him forever: a dance with Death itself.Rich with atmosphere, ancient superstition, and the wild beauty of the Welsh landscape, this episode explores one of Wales' most unsettling traditions—where Angau, the personification of death, is not an idea but a presence that walks the lonely roads between worlds.So settle beside the fire, listen for the wind beyond the door, and pray you do not hear three knocks in the darkness.Because some visitors arrive only once.And when they leave, they never travel alone.www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

In this episode of Ave Explores: Catholicism in Literature, Katie sits down with Kaitlyn Facista and Andrew Swafford to discuss the enduring legacy of two of Christianity's greatest storytellers, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Facista, author of _Into the Heart of Middle-earth and founder of Tea with Tolkien, shares how Tolkien's works played a significant role in her conversion to Catholicism. Drawn into Middle-earth by its unforgettable heroes and villains, she discovered profound lessons about virtue, vice, courage, and sacrifice. In a culture hungry for authentic examples of goodness and bravery, Tolkien's stories continue to awaken the heart and point readers toward truth. Swafford reflects on encountering Tolkien later in life while reading The Lord of the Rings with his children. Those family readings sparked rich conversations, nurtured their spiritual imaginations, and created opportunities for catechesis. He also discusses introducing students at Benedictine College to Lewis's Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce, marveling at Lewis's ability to reach students of every background and faith. Through imagination and story, Lewis demonstrates how art and literature can communicate truths that might otherwise remain hidden. Journey through the wardrobe and wander into the Shire for an inspiring conversation about faith, imagination, and the transformative power of great stories.

The new reporting centers on former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who launched the original mid-2000s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and says the case was undermined once federal prosecutors took control. According to the account, Reiter's department had gathered evidence from roughly two dozen alleged victims and their families, only to see the matter drift toward the now-infamous 2007 secret plea negotiations led by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta. The key political connection is that Acosta's office was operating under George W. Bush's Department of Justice, and Reiter says Acosta told him that “Main Justice” in Washington was providing guidance while Epstein's defense team was successfully stalling the case.That detail matters because it pushes scrutiny beyond Acosta alone and back toward DOJ leadership in Washington during the Bush administration, where the Epstein deal was being handled as more than a routine local prosecution. Epstein ultimately avoided federal sex-trafficking charges at the time and pleaded guilty in state court to solicitation-related charges, despite investigators having identified dozens of possible victims. The account also revisits the explosive claim that Acosta later told Trump transition officials he had been told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to leave the case alone, a statement that has long fueled questions about who protected Epstein, why the original case was buried, and how many people in power helped turn a sprawling abuse investigation into a sweetheart deal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Explosive Report Drags President George W.

Kevin Bright was nineteen years old when Dennis Rader shot him twice and left him for dead in his sister Kathryn's house in Wichita on April 4, 1974. Kevin survived. His sister did not. Before Kevin went into surgery, with one of Rader's bullets still inside his head, he gave Wichita detectives a description of the man who had attacked them.A police sketch artist drew the face. On April 23, 1974, that drawing ran on the front page of the Wichita Eagle. Nineteen days after the attack. Dennis Rader was free in Park City, Kansas. He would remain free for the next thirty-one years.In his own 2005 confession, Rader said the sketch was, in his words, uncomfortably close to him. He said no one ever came for him.In the second chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through every piece of Dennis Rader that the Wichita Police Department had in evidence rooms during the years he was still operating. A sketch in 1974. A confession letter inside a library book in 1974. A voice tape in 1977. A poem in a sealed package in 1979. A neighbor of his killed in 1985 and one of his own residents killed in his own jurisdiction in 1991.The chase did not close because Wichita Police were incompetent. The chase did not close because Dennis Rader was a mastermind either. The chase did not close because the system, in a small city in the 1970s and 80s, did not yet know how to look at its own data. And the people paying the price for that gap, including a grieving husband suspected of his wife's murder for eighteen years, did not deserve to carry the cost.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Legend of the San Francisco Siren: The Wolf & the SirenEvery legend begins with a single encounter.Long before she became a whispered myth of the sea, before sailors spoke her name with equal parts fear and fascination, there was a girl standing beneath a silver full moon. Drawn to the shoreline by a voice she couldn't explain, she found herself face to face with something impossible—a lone wolf watching her from the edge of the forest.Their eyes met for only a moment, yet something ancient awakened between them.She belonged to the ocean. He belonged to the wild earth.Neither understood why fate had crossed their paths, only that neither would ever be the same.In this opening chapter of The Siren & The Wolf, we journey back to the very beginning—to the night destiny introduced two souls from different worlds. A meeting wrapped in moonlight, secrets, and prophecy. The same moon that witnessed their first encounter would one day shine upon their final goodbye.Because every ending leaves clues at the beginning, and every great love story starts with a single look beneath a full moon.Stories of the Divine Feminine———————————————- A collection of stories that embody the power, softness, mystery, and evolution of the Divine Feminine. From the woman who rises through independence to the one who dares to love again, this playlist explores healing, intuition, sensuality, and self-discovery. Each story is a reminder that strength and vulnerability can coexist-and that true feminine energy flows, transforms, and awakens exactly when it's meant

 Host Erik Peabody introduces listeners to H.P. Lovecraft's 1923 novella The Lurking Fear, a tale that exemplifies the author's gift for blending atmospheric dread with cosmic horror. Drawn to Tempest Mountain after reports of mysterious killings and disappearances, an unnamed narrator becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind local legends surrounding the abandoned Martense estate. His investigation leads him through violent storms, isolated mountain settlements, and the dark history of a family long believed cursed. As companions vanish and evidence mounts, he discovers that the terror haunting the region may be far older—and far more horrifying—than anyone imagined. Through escalating encounters with the unknown, Lovecraft crafts a relentless descent into paranoia, degeneration, and hidden horrors lurking just beneath the surface of civilization.

Why have so many writers, artists, photographers, musicians, and thinkers throughout history been drawn to tea?In this episode of TeaMinded, we explore the connection between tea and creativity and how tea rituals help create the conditions for focus, reflection, imagination, and creative work.Tea does not create ideas—but it creates space for them.The simple act of preparing loose leaf tea encourages us to slow down, pay attention, and become more present.

What began as one of the largest dog rescue efforts in American history may become a turning point in the movement to end animal testing. In this special episode of the Animal Wellness Podcast, host Joseph Grove takes listeners inside the remarkable rescue of approximately 1,500 beagles from Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, a commercial breeding facility that supplied dogs for laboratory experimentation. Drawn from a record-setting national webinar, this episode features the voices of the people who helped make the rescue possible — including advocates, rescuers, policymakers, and public figures who are now working to ensure fewer animals ever enter laboratories in the first place. You'll hear from: • Wayne Pacelle, president of the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action • Shannon Keith, founder of the Beagle Freedom Project Congressman Nick Langworthy of New York • Debbie Gibson, pop legend and actress • Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath • Stacy Kivowitz, chair of Animal Wellness Action • Muriel Van Hoosen, chair of the Center for a Humane Economy Together, they explore the rescue itself, the challenges of rehabilitating animals who have never experienced normal life, and the growing scientific and political movement to replace outdated animal testing with modern technologies. This episode examines: • The inside story of the Ridglan beagle rescue • What life was like for dogs bred for laboratory experimentation • The enormous logistics of moving and rehoming 1,500 animals • Why animal testing remains embedded in federal policy • New technologies that could replace animal experimentation • The bipartisan effort to modernize testing requirements • What advocates are doing now to prevent future generations of animals from entering laboratories The rescue of these beagles captured national attention. But as our guests make clear, the larger mission is just beginning. Listen now to hear how compassion, science, and public policy are converging to challenge a system that has remained largely unchanged for decades. Take action!

We're celebrating the release of Peculiar Perspectives by Ed Ahern. We sat down for a little while and talked about this lovely poetry collection and more. About the Book: Twenty-four glimpses into the absurd, the tender, and the beautifully human.These twenty-four short poems are personal rather than political, reflective rather than polemic-quiet observations shaped by a life that has been, at times, unruly, uneven, and richly human. They invite the reader not to debate or defend, but simply to recognize: to nod in wry agreement at the small absurdities, contradictions, and tender ironies that fill our everyday lives.Drawn from a long and garishly checkered journey-one navigated more by instinct than intention-these poems distill experience into brief, free verse moments. They could have unfolded as sprawling autobiographical narratives, layered with embellishment and softened by false modesty. But that is not their nature. The voice here leans toward the epigrammatic rather than the epic, favoring canapés over feasts-small, carefully offered portions meant to be savored, not consumed all at once.At the heart of this collection lies a lifelong devotion to language. Beyond family, the author's enduring love affair has been with reading, writing, and speaking words-finding in them both refuge and revelation. These poems arise from that relationship: an urge not just to observe life, but to shape it into something shareable. Many of these pieces have found their way into print and into the air-read aloud to audiences, sometimes more than once-where their quiet truths and subtle humor continue to resonate.The subjects are not grand events or sweeping declarations, but the small, often overlooked details that give life its texture: fleeting thoughts, peculiar habits, private contradictions, and the strange comforts we build for ourselves. Each poem captures a moment of recognition-sometimes amused, sometimes bittersweet, often both at once. Together, they form a mosaic of perspective: two dozen glimpses into a mind attuned to the eccentricities and quiet wonders that surround us.This is a book that does not rush. It lingers. It invites pause. It allows space for reflection, for a half-smile, for the subtle realization that what seems uniquely strange is often universally shared. There are no epic climaxes here, no sweeping resolutions-only the gentle accumulation of insight, the steady uncovering of meaning in the seemingly mundane.In these pages, we are reminded that life's significance is rarely found in its grandest moments, but in its smallest ones: the passing thought, the odd realization, the quiet acceptance. These poems offer not answers, but companionship-a recognition that we are all navigating our own peculiar paths, doing the best we can with what we notice, remember, and feel.This little book allows us to smile at the absurdities we put ourselves through, while also inviting us to slow down long enough to savor the moments that offer contentment. It is, at its core, a celebration of the imperfect, the peculiar, and the profoundly human.Buy this book: https://www.prolificpulse.com/edahern

Dr. Paul Han on Uncertainty in Medicine and Building Tolerance Through AdaptationIn this episode of The Girl Doc Survival Guide, Christine interviews Dr. Paul Han, an NIH Senior Scientist specializing in risk communication, medical decision-making, and uncertainty in healthcare, whose career shifted from general internal medicine and palliative care to research via an NCI cancer prevention fellowship. Han shares that persistent “gray zone” questions in primary and end-of-life care, plus personal circumstances like spousal support and financial stability, enabled his mid-career leap into the unknown. He explains uncertainty as two-sided: something healthcare tries to reduce but also a necessary source of curiosity for clinicians and hope for patients, especially in serious illness. Han connects uncertainty to cognitive biases as flawed attempts to regain certainty, and reframes “uncertainty tolerance” from merely enduring anxiety to situation-specific adaptation, emphasizing virtues such as humility, flexibility, and courage; he also notes his own recent prostate cancer diagnosis.00:00 Meet Dr Paul Han01:31 Midcareer Leap to Research03:58 Drawn to Gray Zones04:40 What Enables a Big Switch06:48 Uncertainty as Friend and Foe11:15 Why Uncertainty Feels Scary13:48 Biases Born From Uncertainty15:37 Rethinking Uncertainty Tolerance18:32 Virtues for Adaptive Care21:15 Letting Go of Outcomes23:22 Closing Thoughts

For centuries, Christians have wrestled with one of the most important questions in theology: when Jesus says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” what exactly does He mean? Is Christ describing an irresistible act of divine selection given only to a predetermined few, or is He revealing the gracious provision of God through the very person and work of Christ Himself?As we look at the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, is there an emphasis on an unconditional decree, or does the instruction reveal an all-sufficient Christ who satisfies the deepest hunger of mankind? Whether you are firmly committed to Calvinism, deeply opposed to it, or simply trying to understand the text more clearly, today's episode aims to challenge assumptions, sharpen biblical thinking, and ultimately point listeners back to the beauty and sufficiency of Christ.For this conversation, we are joined by Leighton Flowers, professor of theology at Trinity Seminary and host of the Soteriology 101 podcast. Leighton has recently written a book called Drawn by Jesus, a direct engagement with the Calvinistic interpretation of John 6 and a response to the arguments popularized by James White.For more information, follow the link to read the notes for Episode 271.Purchase Dr. Flowers' book Drawn by JesusVisit Dr. Flowers site at https://soteriology101.com/Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

Doctor Who fans have long feared Fear Her—and not necessarily for the reasons the episode intended. A lonely child, a suburban street, a cupboard-dad, a doodle monster, a rogue Isolus, and one baffling Olympic torch relay all add up to what may be the most filler-y filler episode Russell T Davies ever filled. But is it really as bad as its reputation suggests? Chris reaches for the Ogron almost immediately, while Pete shocks the universe by defending the value of low-stakes Doctor Who, especially when David Tennant and Billie Piper are still bringing the charm.

In this conversation, she and Dr. Gray unpack the premed rat race—the pressure to pack 15 activities, the guilt of cutting hobbies, and the lie that every minute not studying sets you back. Vanessa candidly shares applying twice, including a COVID-canceled MCAT that delayed her first cycle, the external nudge to pause, and the growth and humility that made her ultimately ready to be accepted. She explains how interviews gravitated to her writing, why her second personal statement focused on who she is rather than everything she did, and how she now balances med school with novel deadlines—treating writing as both catharsis and a job, while preparing for Step 2. Along the way: apocalypse-proof humor, a reframe of rest as part of training, and a clear message to premeds and medical students alike—keep the passions that make you human. Because people, not checklists, become doctors.What You'll Learn:- How campus EMT and suicide hotline roles shaped a patient-first “why medicine”- What changed between a late, COVID-impacted first cycle and a successful reapplication- Why focusing your personal statement on who you are can resonate more than listing activities- Practical ways to protect hobbies in premed and med school without burning out- How interviews may lean into your authentic passions—even more than your hours

In this episode, we reflect on the sacred wounds of Jesus, the reality of our own woundedness, and Jesus' invitation to make us well. We talk about how our wounds, so often hidden in shame or self-protection, when transformed, can actually become places of communion and grace. We also share about our personal experiences of facing fear or disappointment and how the slow, often painful, process of healing reminds us that God's ways are not our own. Jesus tenderly meets us in every broken place within our hearts and ardently desires to make all things new.   Heather's One Thing - Worship Session with Kory Miller Sister Miriam's One Thing - Life Transitions Part One and Part Two with Chris Benzinger Michelle's One Thing - The Kentucky Derby   Other Resources Mentioned: Glory: Women's Gathering The Restore the Glory Podcast The Anatomy of a Wound Series Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5   Journal Questions: Where am I self-protecting instead of bringing my wounds before the Lord? Do I think Jesus can make me well? How have my wounds impacted my outlook on life and perspectives on painful situations in my life? When have my own expectations of what Jesus should do gotten in the way of my own healing?   Discussion Questions: Are there areas that you have grown accustomed to your own pain? How have you equated healing with fixing? What has the Holy Spirit taught you about yourself through the healing journey? How has disappointment affected your trust in Jesus and His goodness?   Quotes to Ponder: "Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers." (Henri Nouwen)    "Our brokenness reveals not a failure but a doorway through which God's healing can enter." (Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love)   Scripture for Lectio: "Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"  The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk."
