Host Rob Couture is joined by Ryan Gallucci, Kristina Keenan, and Mike Figlioli from the VFW Washington Office to discuss the Washington Post's latest coverage of veterans' benefits and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The team addresses a recent series of articles that, they argue, mischaracterize how veterans access the benefits they've earned — including claims that veterans are "flooding the system" or abusing disability compensation.   They provide context on how accredited service officers, like those in the VFW's Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program, actually help veterans navigate complex VA processes with integrity and professionalism. The group also discusses VFW's official response to the Post's reporting, how previous stories have shaped public perception, and why transparency and advocacy remain vital as Veterans Day approaches.

The Gators could not sustain their fast start during a 34-17 loss at Texas A&M, but did have their chances against the No. 5 Aggies before faltering. The loss followed a familiar script, featuring predictable play calling and questionable decision-making, to drop Billy Napier's team to 0-14 against ranked teams away from Gainesville. During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark struggle to find many positives from UF's latest performance as the end draws nearer for Napier.

Send us a textJurist Richard Falk discusses the double game being played by some of the European countries recently recognizing Palestine as a state in a show of concern over Israel's war of annihilation in Gaza. Their condemnation of Israel is largely symbolic, with many states continuing to do business as usual with Israel. With Western countries failing to uphold international law, Falk says civic activism is necessary to hold leaders to account. He notes the two-state solution has long since ceased to be practicable and warns that any peace plan that excludes Palestinian participation will not produce a durable peace. Falk is professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, former UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Occupied Palestine and president of the Gaza Tribunal, an independent inquiry into British complicty in Israeli war crimes.

The recent firing of the Commissioner of the BLS and the resignation of a top Fed official have cast even more doubt on the trustworthiness of government data and the future independence of the central bank.

A new Trade Me survey has revealed some rather interesting house hunter behaviours. real estate agent and former broadcaster Rawdon Christie joins Emile Donovan.

This week on Tangent, we're diving into two baffling cases of people who straight-up vanished—and left behind way more questions than answers.First, we're talking about Paul Whipkey, an Army lieutenant who went out for a drink in 1958 and somehow ended up missing in Death Valley. Was it a secret mission? A government cover-up? Or just the worst road trip ever?Then we get into the case of Maura Murray, a college student who crashed her car on a quiet New Hampshire road in 2004 and disappeared before the cops even showed up. No note, no trace, just a whole lot of internet theories and a seriously weird timeline.Join Jack and Austin as we try to make sense of these strange disappearances, toss around some wild theories, and probably get a little sidetracked along the way—because that's how we do it on Tangent.

John Charles in conversation with Allison Brennan, Christina Estes, and Jenn McKinlay

Dr. Robert K.C. Forman had a distinguished, twenty-year career as a professor of comparative religion at the City University of New York, during which time he had a major influence on the study of mysticism and authored several books and more than forty academic articles. A writer, popular public speaker, and spiritual counselor, he has shared his insights in Sweden, Iran, Finland, Israel, England, and across the U.S. After retiring from academia, he founded and ran the Forge Institute for Spirituality and Social Change (full disclosure: I was on the board), and also served as a board-certified hospital chaplain, an ordained interfaith minister, and a certified meditation teacher. His academic books include The Problem of Pure Consciousness and his books for the general reader include Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up to Be, and his latest work, which we'll be discussing here, Christianity Reimagined: A Mystical Approach for Doubters and the Dubious.

If your evil character isn't at least pretending to be helpful, they're not evil—they're just unemployed. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts dive deep into the dark, morally murky world of evil characters in tabletop RPGs. With Ash leading the charge, the conversation focuses on how to play a character with evil tendencies without destroying the game, the party, or your friendships. The hosts explore different shades of evil alignments, the narrative value of morally compromised PCs, and offer practical advice on how to maintain group cohesion when one of the players is clearly up to no good. From selfish rogues to power-hungry warlocks, the cast lays out the dos and don'ts of roleplaying antagonistic characters responsibly. This episode balances philosophical alignment discussion with real-world table etiquette, all while keeping things lighthearted, insightful, and occasionally disturbing in the best way. If you've ever wanted to play the villain—but not be one—this is your guide. Check out our Best of Season 1 and Best of Season 2 playlists!

Session Zero is the place to set expectations and make sure everyone is on board. A "safe sociopath" in-game should never be a real-life problem player. Evil characters should elevate the story—not just hog the spotlight or sow chaos. It's okay to play dark themes—but not at the cost of trust at the table. Redemption arcs and “gray morality” often make more compelling characters than cartoon villains.

First up on the podcast, freelance journalist Jonathan Moens talks with host Sarah Crespi about a forensic test called brain electrical oscillation signature (BEOS) profiling, which police in India are using along with other techniques to try to tell whether a suspect participated in a crime, despite these technologies' extremely shaky scientific grounding.   Next on the show, scientists have recently made strides in our understanding of horses, from identifying the mutations that make horses amazing athletes to showing how climate shaped intercontinental horse migrations 50,000 years ago. Science life sciences editor Sacha Vignieri joins us to discuss new horse-related studies published in Science—and how equine research has broader implications.
