Molly Arbuthnott Brings Heart, Craft, and Children's Literature Wisdom to Comic Crusaders Comic Crusaders is thrilled to welcome Molly Arbuthnott to the show, an award-winning author, teacher, editor, and academic from Scotland whose work proves that children's literature is anything but small. Public bios and her official site describe a creative career built around storytelling, education, workshops, books, audio, and direct engagement with young readers and aspiring authors. Molly's journey stands out because she has experience across multiple lanes of the storytelling world. She has taught in classrooms, built books from personal inspiration, developed interactive reading sessions for schools and nurseries, and expanded her work into audiobook and screen-adjacent storytelling. Her official site also highlights workshops that combine story readings, sounds, activities, Q&A, and follow-on educational materials, showing that her work is not simply about publishing a book but creating a memorable literary experience. During this conversation, Al Mega and Molly explore the leap from teaching to authorship, the truth about traditional publishing versus self-publishing, how stories shaped by real life can still feel magical, and why children's books matter so deeply in a distracted age. They also discuss collaboration with illustrators, marketing strategies for authors, how to connect with readers through school outreach, and the exciting process of developing work beyond the printed page. Molly's current public-facing creative world includes books such as Eamonn the Bat, ongoing school visits, her "My Favourite Books" podcast presence, and an animation premiere linked to Oscar the Ferry Cat. That mix of literary passion and practical execution makes this episode especially valuable for authors who need both inspiration and strategy. This episode is a reminder that stories are not passive things. In the right hands, they become tools for empathy, courage, learning, and joy. Molly Arbuthnott is building exactly that kind of work, and this interview is packed with insight for anyone trying to turn imagination into impact.

Your child's data profile doesn't start when they get their first phone. It starts before they're born, the moment a parent emails a gynecologist or visits a fertility clinic website. That's the core argument behind Born Private, Proton's new initiative that lets parents reserve an email address for their child at birth, anchoring their digital identity in a privacy-preserving ecosystem before the profiling machine gets started. Craig Smith sits down with Eamonn Maguire, Engineering Director, Machine Learning & AI at Proton, who has spent his career at the intersection of data, security, and visualization to explore what's really happening to our data and what, if anything, we can do about it. The conversation covers the mechanics of how just three email sign-ups can allow Google to infer your age, politics, and religion; why OpenAI and Anthropic have shown "not much regard for the law" when it comes to training data and copyright; and why social media platforms are operating like unregulated gambling companies - engineering addiction with no structural incentive to stop. It's one of the most grounded, specific, and genuinely alarming conversations about digital privacy you'll hear, and it ends with a simple, actionable proposition: privacy should be a decision you make at birth, not a problem you try to solve after the damage is done.

What if your child already has a data profile, and they haven't even been born yet? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Eamonn Maguire, Director of Engineering for AI and ML at Proton, to explore one of the most urgent and underappreciated questions in the age of AI: who owns your data, who is building a profile on you, and what can actually be done about it? Eamonn brings a rare combination of depth and range to this conversation. With a PhD from Oxford, a postdoc at CERN, and years at Facebook engineering ML systems to detect internal and external threats, he now leads Proton's AI efforts, including Lumo, their end-to-end encrypted alternative to ChatGPT. He makes a compelling case that the surveillance economy is not just a privacy problem but a behavioral one, where the systems profiling you are not only observing who you are but actively shaping who you become. We get into how just three data points are enough for advertisers to infer your age, political leanings, religion, and spending habits. We discuss why trusting mainstream AI platforms with sensitive data is a structural problem, not just a policy one, and why the AI labs with the best models got there by acquiring the most data, often with little regard for copyright law. Eamonn also breaks down the difference between truly open models and open washing, and explains how Proton builds AI that is genuinely private by design, with local indexing, encrypted memory, and user-controlled data sharing. Then there is Born Private, Proton's initiative to give children a private digital identity from birth. It sounds simple on the surface, but the conversation it opens up is anything but. Data collection on your child begins before they are born, the moment a parent emails a gynecologist or a fertility clinic. Eamonn argues that until we start thinking about privacy the way we think about other rights, from the very beginning, the surveillance machine will always have a head start.

Ireland is facing major disruption as nationwide protests over rising fuel prices enter their third day. Farmers, hauliers, and transport workers have been blocking key roads, motorways, and fuel depots across the country, including in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway. The demonstrations are aimed at forcing the government to lower fuel costs, with protesters warning that current prices are threatening their livelihoods. The government has declared the protests to be unlawful and has even called in the army to help end the blockade. To discuss the wider implications of this, Richie is joined by Eamonn Blaney. Eamonn is an entrepreneur and former civil servant. The guys discuss the blockade in the context of Agenda 2030 and much more. https://nutrahealth365.com/

Cody Cook welcomes Eamonn Butler, British economist and co-founder/director of the Adam Smith Institute, for a timely discussion marking the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's seminal work, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (published March 9, 1776). Butler, author of primers on Hayek, Friedman, and Mises, shares insights from his work studying and promoting the ideas of Adam Smith.The conversation explores Smith's enduring legacy as the father of modern economics, rooted in the Scottish Enlightenment. Butler explains how The Theory of Moral Sentiments (Smith's earlier work on virtue, sympathy, empathy, and justice) underpins The Wealth of Nations, showing that self-interest in markets—when guided by moral foundations like trust and honesty—produces social harmony via the famous "invisible hand." Rather than benevolence alone, we get our bread from the baker's self-interest, yet this serves society beneficially.Smith's revolutionary ideas shine through: the division of labor (illustrated by his pin factory example boosting productivity dramatically), national wealth as productive capacity (not hoarded gold), the benefits of free trade, opposition to tariffs, monopolies, and mercantilism (which he saw as cronyism enriching the few at others' expense), and limited government to prevent corruption and rent-seeking.Butler also addresses common misconceptions: early capitalism Smith opposed slavery not just morally but economically, arguing it stifles incentives and efficiency. He contrasts this with critics like Thomas Carlyle, who dubbed economics the "dismal science" in defense of hierarchy and authoritarianism. The episode tackles modern critiques from both left and "new right," defending self-interest (prudent and long-term) against charges of short-sighted selfishness, and refuting claims that markets idolize materialism or erode meaning—pointing to how prosperity enables philanthropy, education, leisure, and cultural flourishing.Smith's framework rejects the "man of system" (central planners treating people like chess pieces), favoring emergent order from individual actions under justice. Butler highlights real-world successes: globalization and market liberalization since the 1990s have nearly eradicated extreme poverty for billions, far outperforming decades of socialism.The discussion ties Smith's ideas to Christian liberty, noting his deistic leanings, regular churchgoing, and emphasis on virtue. It compares the 1776 publications: The Wealth of Nations (providing a blueprint for prosperity and freedom) vs. the Declaration of Independence (asserting independence), with Butler arguing Smith's work has greater long-term impact on liberty.This episode offers a refreshing, faith-informed defense of free markets, countering cronyism and statism while celebrating Smith's vision of human flourishing through competition, trust, and voluntary exchange. Perfect for libertarians, Christians, and anyone interested in economics' moral foundations—especially timely in 2026.Links:The Adam Smith InstituteThe Wealth of NationsThe Theory of Moral SentimentsAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

DEEP DIVE On this long overdue episode we discuss one of the most ancient, most enduring, most flamboyantly theatrical and most misunderstood figures in the entire history of human belief and moral metaphysical experience; a character whose allegedly rancid fingerprints seem to be smeared all over the labours of expressive human consciousness like religion, literature, folklore, politics, psychology, art, propaganda, and pop culture. A name whispered in rebuke in places of holy worship across the world, screamed in terror in horror films, invoked enthusiastically in heavy metal songs, blamed for inexplicable deeds in courtrooms, depicted both lovingly and grotesquely in artistic masterpieces from time immemorial. An intangible notion of evil conjured into existence by generations in need of a villainous character, grand enough to carry the unbearable weight of human cruelty; this episode is all about Lucifer, The Fallen Angel.Also known as The Light Bringer; The Son of the Morning; The Morning Star; The Prince of Darkness; The Father of Lies; Big Red; Satan; Shai'tan; The Devil; Beelzebub; and Ba'al — before we even begin we are ankle deep in centuries of mistranslation, theological overlap, mythological repetition, political propaganda, ecclesiastical censorship and the kind of cultural rumour mill that turns symbols into people, metaphors into monsters, and old allegories into absolute truths.We ask is Lucifer actually Satan? Is Satan a name, a title, a job description, an inherited office held by many? Is the Devil a literal supernatural being in active rebellion against God, or a psychological archetype set as the final boss at the conclusion of a debauched life? This antitheistic ruler of the underworld exists in one form or another in civilisation after civilisation; Ancient Greece had Hades, Egypt had Osiris, and every ancient culture had a named and feared CEO of the place below. What purpose did a figure like this serve, and how did this nebulous character become so intertwined in a duality with the forces of creation?Lucifer operates as a scapegoat for human suffering and an external motivator for our more debaucherous proclivities, were these the purposes of Lucifer's creation? Not only did he get saddled with the responsibility of all of humanity's misdeeds, but he also served as a cautionary tale for those who might deign to defy God's will. Cast from Heaven for disobeying God (really he was just giving feedback, right?), he began a divine mutiny resulting in a war in the heavens and the banishment of one third of all the angels. This rebellious character stands as a perpetual poster boy for insubordination.This episode is absolutely not the final word on Lucifer, Satan, Evil, Hell, The Underworld, Fallen Angels and/or Demons, or the thousands of years of theological, mystical, philosophical and literary debate surrounding all of those things. But we are having the craic discussing one of the most maligned and misunderstood concepts of human goodness versus human nature, and the notions of good and bad, evil and righteous, and Holy vs 'Satanic'. Whether you believe in an actual Devil or a real life embodiment of a Satan in your theological environment, an aware person living today cannot deny the existence of human evil.So many things have come to light since recording this episode that underscore the necessity for an ephemeral figure like Satan — a creature that embodies the nature of badness. A character archetype we can pour all our heartlessness, savagery, cruelty, ruthlessness, spite, and jealousy into, so that we, humanity, can live without the crushing guilt that the propensity for inhumanity lives inside us. You can't spell inhumanity without human!_________________________You can get this episode AD FREE and in VIDEO with EXTRA CONTENT for FREE when you join the TCG PATREON (so many capital letters) and you can find the episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/s09e02-lucifer-153731364 or by ⁠clicking here⁠ and you can sign up for a FREE Patreon account, follow TCG and get this and loads more.

Proton—the company behind the world's largest encrypted email service with 100M+ users—just launched Lumo, a privacy-first AI assistant. We sit down with Eamonn Maguire, who leads Proton's ML team and built Lumo from the ground up. Eamonn has a PhD from Oxford and a postdoc at CERN, and he breaks down how Lumo's encryption actually works, why Big Tech's business model prevents them from building private AI, the real privacy threats hiding inside viral AI trends like Ghibli-fication, and whether AI agents are safe to connect to your bank account. Listeners will learn how encrypted AI handles your data differently, what open-source models power Lumo, and why "set-and-forget" agents are still more hype than reality.
