Edel joined the show this morning to take on Rhyme It, our fast-paced word game that puts players under serious pressure. The rules are simple: you get 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible, but every answer has to rhyme with a word you're given.It sounds easy… until the clock starts ticking.

Ramesses and Hattusili (Part 2). After the marriage to a Hittite princess in Year 34, Ramesses II had much to offer his northern family. A visit from the King of Hatti's son, seeking food supplies, may relate to repeated hunger crises in Syria and Hatti. Pharaoh's support brought the two kingdoms closer together, although we must wonder if the Bronze Age Collapse has now begun... Finally a text known as the Bentresh Stela offers a fairytale memory of Ramesses' relations with Hatti. Music: Keith Zizza. Music: Luke Chaos. == Select References - Hattusili and Ramesses Brand, P.

My Undesirable Friends: Part I—Last Air in Moscow (2024) is Russian-language American documentary film written and directed by Julia Loktev (with co-director Anna Nemzer). The film describes the effort to maintain press freedoms in Putin's Russia in the period leading up to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The documentary provides an intimate portrait of independent Russian journalists—mainly young women—who risk everything to pursue truth and accountability amidst escalating repression under the Putin regime. Filmed in late 2021 and early 2022, the documentary captures how the legal machinery of censorship, surveillance, and state-harassment converged to crush internal dissent and incapacitate civil society. It not only provides a profoundly disturbing account of what has occurred in Russia but also serves as a broader warning about the fragility of press freedoms and in a time of rising authoritarianism worldwide. Timestamps:0:00      Introduction2:45       How the film came about5:25       A primer on Russian censorship and repression15:15      “Foreign agents” and “undesirable organizations”23:32     Social marginalization through the creation of an enemies list 28:46     State persecution of TV Rain and other independent media 32:45     The manipulation of language36:30     Identifying the pivotal moment 43:36     How the film captures the elimination of press freedoms48:26     Courts and lawyers53:27     The Kremlin's public mobilization to support the war in Ukraine58:53     Independent journalism in exile1:02:17   Parallels to the United States under TrumpFurther reading:Chang, Justin, “‘My Undesirable Friends: Part I' Is a Staggering Portrait of Russian Journalists in Dissent,” New Yorker (Aug. 14, 2025)Edel, Anastasia, “Putin vs. the Press,” Foreign Policy (Oct. 3, 2025)Human Rights Watch, Russia's Legislative Minefield: Tripwires for Civil Society Since 2020 (2024)Human Rights Watch, Disrupted, Throttled, and Blocked State Censorship, Control, and Increasing Isolation of Internet Users in Russia (2025)Krupskiy, Maxim, “The Impact of Russia's ‘Foreign Agents' Legislation on Civil Society,” Fletcher Russia & Eurasia Program (2023)Troinovski, Anton & Safronova, Valeriya, “Russia Takes Censorship to New Extremes, Stifling War Coverage,” New York Times (May 18, 2022)Yablokov, Ilya & Gatov, Vasily, “Broadcasting through the (New) Iron Curtain: Practices, Challenges, and Legacies of Russia's Independent Media in Exile,” Journalism Studies (Feb. 11, 2025)Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Married before first sight. In regnal year 34 (1259 BCE) Ramesses welcomed a princess of Hatti. Sent by her father Hattusili and mother Puduhepa, the (anonymous) princess came to Egypt and took up the rank of King's Great Wife. Today, she is known by her Egyptian name, MAAT-HOR-NEFERURA "She Who Sees Horus, the Perfection of Ra." This enigmatic woman sits at the centre of a fascinating letter archive and commemorative text.

Bestselling Irish author Edel Coffey joins Kate and Michelle to discuss her latest thriller, In Glass Houses.Edel explores how growing up in South County Dublin, walking past peacocks and palatial homes whilst living in a estate, shaped her fascination with class divides and privilege. She discusses the sliding doors moments that change lives forever, how generational wealth creates different moral outcomes and the topic of how we all think we're good people until doing the right thing actually costs us something.For writers, Edel shares her brilliant practical approach: she wrote much of her debut novel in 15 to 20 minute bursts whilst waiting at the school gates, treating her story like a sourdough starter that needed feeding daily. She's honest about the nature of publishing success and having to continually raise the bar but reveals she's finally feeling more confident in her craft.Plus, Edel discusses what home truly means when you live far from your roots, her recent militant stance on smartphones and teases a secret project in a completely different genre that's been obsessing her for five years.Natter is proudly brought to you in association with Bookstation Ireland & IrishCentral.

In this critical episode, host Jim Carouso welcomes two leading experts on the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) agreement to examine whether the landmark trilateral security partnership can deliver on its promises four years after its launch. Charlie Edel, inaugural Australia Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and Abe Denmark, senior fellow at CSIS and a former DOD official who helped implement AUKUS, join to discuss their new report, "The AUKUS Inflection: Seizing the Opportunity to Deliver Deterrence."The conversation dives deep into five fundamental challenges threatening AUKUS' success:• Submarine production bottlenecks plague the U.S. industrial base, with maintenance backlogs keeping 25% of attack submarines out of the water. • Sovereignty questions have emerged as Washington reportedly seeks Australian operational commitments for future contingencies. • Australia faces the massive challenge of building a nuclear submarine workforce from scratch—requiring 20,000 new skilled workers in a country with virtually no civilian nuclear industry.• AUKUS “Pillar 2” technology cooperation lacks focus and marquee deliverables despite bureaucratic progress on export controls and information sharing.•⁠⁠ Timeline pressures mount as critics question whether AUKUS capabilities will arrive too late for current deterrence needs, with Australian submarine construction not beginning until 2040.The experts propose concrete solutions: appointing AUKUS special representatives reporting directly to leaders in all three countries; creating an AUKUS visa system for seamless researcher mobility; establishing trilateral congressional oversight mechanisms; producing annual progress reports for transparency and accountability; and concentrating Pillar 2 efforts on autonomy, long-range strike and integrated missile defense rather than spreading resources across quantum computing and other emerging technologies that lawmakers struggle to understand.Denmark emphasizes that AUKUS should be viewed as additive rather than subtractive to existing capabilities, with Australian maintenance facilities and industrial contributions helping get more U.S. submarines operational faster. The discussion also touches on recent diplomatic engagements, including Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles' meetings in Washington amid ongoing U.S. reviews of the partnership.Both experts stress that while AUKUS faces significant implementation challenges, failure would damage U.S. credibility, weaken deterrence, and embolden adversaries. Success requires immediate course corrections, increased funding, and sustained political commitment across all three democracies to deliver meaningful capabilities for Indo-Pacific security.

Ireland's team has been announced for the Pool C top-of-the-table clash against reigning World Champions, New Zealand! With 6 changes from the side that faced Spain and strong players coming back into the starting XV, Bemand has shown they are going out to win this fixture. One name is clearly missing from the team sheet though as, despite training fully this week, Aoife Wafer is not included in the match day 23. Bemand is "very confident" that she will be ready for that Quarter Final clash however, against whoever that may be. Hear from co-captain Edel McMahon and Ireland head coach, Scott Bemand, after the team announcement Friday morning.

Turning 40 and breaking down in banana breadWhen Edel Howlin moved from Ireland to Houston in her late 20s, she was certain she was building her dream life. She found her calling in public radio and was thriving professionally. But a decade later, and another relocation, to Philadelphia in her late 30s, triggered a profound and unexpected unraveling. What started as a fresh chapter became a full-on identity crisis. Without a job to define her and overwhelmed by change, Edel found herself crying, storming out of the house, and eventually taking refuge in bed with a cup of tea and banana bread. That messy, quiet breakdown would become the birthplace of her reinvention. In this episode, Edel shares how she built a business from the ashes, and why she's never been happier.Highlights from this episode:Edel's winding path from a science degree in Ireland to her dream job in public radio in HoustonWhy moving to a new city in her late 30s upended her identity, and led to a full-blown midlife crisisHow a literal pause (in bed, with banana bread) helped her start listening to her inner voiceThe moment she realized she'd been chasing “success” instead of happinessHow gardening unexpectedly planted the seeds for her next chapterThe surprising empowerment of realizing: I am enough, without needing outside validationWhy her business now feels like joy, not just workEdel Howlin's story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the path to who we're meant to be isn't straight; it's full of detours, breakdowns, and banana bread-fueled breakthroughs. In her 20s, she followed her husband and her love for radio across the Atlantic. In her late 30s, she followed her husband to Philadelphia, and promptly lost her sense of self. But in the pause, she began to hear her own voice. What emerged was not just a new career path, but a deeper understanding of herself. Edel's midlife transition wasn't graceful, but it was powerful. And today, she's living life on her own terms, with more joy and confidence than ever before.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, follow, and share The Big Four Oh Podcast.
