The video game industry is in a state of chaos. Layoffs, buyouts, studio closures, mergers—the entire industry seems plagued. Except for Nintendo. The Japanese video game giant is over one hundred years old, and since they dominated the home console market in the 80s, they've been generally unwavering in their success, and all without succumbing to the pitfalls of other game companies. But they're also tremendously secretive, operating with very little behind-the-scenes publicity and deploying their massively innovative games with relatively little lead-up. This week, Adam talks games with Keza MacDonald, a video game editor at The Guardian. Her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play, takes a look behind Nintendo's curtain of secrecy to show how this company has been able to innovate and surprise for so long.

Welcome back to the nightmare, comrades. In this feature-length episode, we take a brutal, unsparing look under the hood of the Russian Federation's terminal bureaucratic matrix. The dashboard warning lights have all blown out, the engine block is melting, and the elites are just hoping to finish their cold sandwich before the whole rusted-out car explodes.We dissect the catastrophic macroeconomic death spiral, the 4.6 trillion ruble deficit, and the macabre new “meat market” recruitment strategy that literally pays referral bounties for sending the elderly and terminally ill into the mud. We analyze the asymmetrical flip in the skies: Ukraine's 7-million drone pipeline and the autonomous “Martians,” matched only by the Russian Ministry of Defense's brilliant counter-strategy of putting a former toilet salesman in charge of their drone troops.Plus, we explore the terrifying biological caste system (KZhI vs. DZhI) inside the Russian army, the 80-billion-ruble Telegram blockade blinding the domestic population, and why Igor Strelkov is sitting in a penal colony comparing today to the eve of the 1917 revolution. The pokazukha is failing. The math is absolute.Support the Front: Fund the thunder.

In this PART 2 episode, Dominican kingpin Adam Diaz sits down for a wild, unfiltered conversation about his rise from the streets of New York to the top levels of the cocaine trade. He talks about building major operations in Brooklyn, working with powerful Colombian connections, and moving massive amounts of cocaine through mules, warehouses, and import businesses. Adam also opens up about prison, trying to go legit after getting out, why he got pulled back into the game, and how his second federal case finally brought everything down. From the Medellín-era drug world to front corporations, heroin deals, close calls with police, and losing millions in property, this is a firsthand story about ambition, power, risk, and the cost of living that life. Topics covered in this interview: -Growing up between the Dominican Republic and New York -Becoming a major cocaine supplier in NYC -Colombian cartel connections -Drug smuggling through luggage and import businesses -Life after prison and failed attempts to go legit -Heroin trafficking in the late 1990s -Federal investigations, informants, and arrest -Deportation and life today Go Support Adam! https://kingofbrooklyn.weebly.com/ Join The Patreon For Bonus Content! https://www.patreon.com/theconnectshow 00:00 Smuggling Cocaine: Early Operations 01:40 Rise in New York's Drug Trade 02:56 Adam's Background and Life in the US 05:00 Becoming a Kingpin & Building Operations 10:12 Prison, Parole, and Reentry 13:39 Getting Back Into the Game 17:52 Partnerships with Medellin Cartel 21:02 New Logistics: Miami to New York 24:33 Innovating Smuggling Tactics 27:09 Launching Shell Companies and Corporations 32:08 Securing Documents and Going International 36:54 Banana & Malanga Shipments: Sophisticated Operations 43:27 Importing and Moving Massive Loads 47:40 Warehouses, Distributors, and the Bronx Connection 51:02 Manpower and Money: Running the Smuggling Business 54:44 Handling Distribution, Losses, and Risks 01:01:29 Who Buys the Coke?

Today's guest is the architect of alternative rock who sold 30 million albums and defined the sound of an entire generation — but whose real story begins after the hits stopped mattering to him.From the suburbs of Chicago to the apex of 90s mainstream success, Billy Corgan built an empire. Then he spent the last 20 years quietly dismantling the idea that commercial success is the same thing as real value. He carries three things simultaneously that most artists never figure out how to hold at once: the ambition of someone who was never going to settle for the midwest, the technical genius of a classically-trained musician who produces every layer of his own work, and the philosophical rigor of someone willing to completely reimagine what success actually means.This is one of the more unflinching conversations about what staying relevant actually costs — not the version that gets posted on socials, the version that gets lived in the real decisions you make about art, money, independence, and how you want to spend your time. When the gatekeepers are gone and nobody's controlling the narrative anymore, who do you become?And The Writer Is... Billy Corgan!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:• The trap of being defined by your greatest hits — and why he refuses it• His father's failed music career, and the moment his dad finally understood• Chicago's inward-facing indie scene and the cost of communities that don't believe in themselves• How the value of artists gets assessed in rooms — and why that's broken• What "influence" actually means vs. commercial success• The gatekeepers are gone — what that really means for independent artists• Owning 100% of your publishing and why that changes everything• Building a new world where direct artist support is how things actually work• Why legacy thinking is changing, and what comes nextAnd much more...Hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

After the French project to build a canal through Panama collapses in 1889 amidst disease and financial scandal, US President Teddy Roosevelt resolves to pick up where they left off. However, powerful interests in Washington are aggressively lobbying for a different route – not through Panama, but Nicaragua. As debate rages and backdoor deals are made, Panama becomes a lightning rod for controversy…and revolution.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

As Rome consolidated the Mediterranean under their hegemony, the Parthians were poised to overrun Iran and Mesopotamia. Leading a small tribe from the steppes during the mid-third century B.C., the Arsacid dynasty established themselves as vassal-rulers in the Seleucid Empire, but the turmoil in Syria during the second century allowed the Arsacids to challenge the Seleucids for mastery over the Hellenistic Middle East. In this episode, we chronicle the origins of the Parthian Empire from its foundation to the reign of Mithridates I, exploring how the Arsacids forged a realm that they would oversee for nearly five hundred years.

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. In the quiet railroad town of Bellefontaine, crates of bananas once arrived daily—ordinary cargo masking an extraordinary and sinister story. In this episode, we dive into the shadowy world of the so-called “Society of the Banana,” a chilling chapter tied to the rise of the Black Hand in small-town Ohio. What seemed like a simple fruit business became entangled with whispers of extortion, secret threats, and violence carried over from the Old World into America's heartland. Through the lens of a brutal early 20th-century crime, we explore how immigrant communities were targeted, how coded warnings and fear spread through tight-knit neighborhoods, and how something as innocent as a shipment of bananas could conceal a much darker reality. Join us as we peel back the layers of this forgotten mystery—where commerce, crime, and culture collided in Bellefontaine, and where the reach of the Black Hand may have been closer than anyone dared to admit.

Emma Grede's most surprising confession is that she never saw her childhood in East London as a disadvantage. While raising her younger sisters, skipping school, and watching Oprah to find her blueprint for life, she was quietly building the belief that she was more capable than anyone around her. That unshakable self-trust is the thread running through everything she has built, from Good American to SKIMS to the Obama Foundation board. For anyone who has ever let fear, self-doubt, or the weight of other people's opinions keep them stuck, Emma's story is a direct challenge to reconsider what is actually holding you back. This conversation will show you how to stop measuring yourself against everyone else's standards, put money at the center of your plan without shame, manage your emotions like a skill rather than a sentence, and build a life that is entirely your own design. The Greatness Playbook: The Self-Led Success Edition Emma's book: Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life Emma's Instagram Emma's Website In this episode you will: Discover how to reframe your hardest life experiences as the very thing that makes you exceptional rather than the thing that holds you back.

Understand the practical steps Emma used to manage anger and emotional reactivity starting at age nineteen, and how that discipline became one of her greatest competitive advantages. Break free from the trap of other people's opinions by building a personal scorecard rooted in your own values, not what the world expects of you.

Since Cyndi Ramirez Fulton opened Chill House on New York's Lower East Side in 2017, the brand has grown from a cult downtown spa into a nationwide product line, culminating in a 2025 acquisition by Kiss Beauty Group, with Cyndi still at the helm. On today's episode, Cyndi takes us back to growing up in Queens as the daughter of a Colombian esthetician and how that environment shaped her relationship with beauty and her entrepreneurial instincts. She opens up about her years in New York nightlife, the scrappy blog that helped her find her voice, and how she landed on the idea for Chill House after not being able to find a spa that was right for her. Cyndi is refreshingly honest about the parts that don't make it onto the glossy Instagram grid: the economics of the spa business that were "always a little broken," the fundraising struggles that led to the Kiss deal, and the very real guilt and joy of building a business alongside a family. We also get into the pivot to Chill Tips press-on nails, why press-ons have genuinely changed her life, and her favorite beauty products for navigating two very different climates.

In this special episode of Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with entrepreneur Vince Ricci for a powerful conversation on making money, investing wisely, and creating lasting impact. Vince shares how he built Hubbell Studio into a premier full-service production company by focusing on elite service, loyalty, and long-term relationships. He also breaks down his approach to scaling brands, spotting real estate opportunities, and making investment decisions by betting on the person behind the business. The conversation goes far beyond business. Vince opens up about discipline, self-investment, fatherhood, pressure, and what it means to stay ready when life gets hard. He explains the mindset behind his “pull the trigger” philosophy and why decisive action, resilience, and personal accountability have shaped both his career and his life. On the charity side, Vince shares the growth of Trina's Kids Foundation, from helping local families in the neighborhood around Hubbell Studio to creating large-scale toy drives and impact events across multiple cities. This episode is full of lessons on leadership, legacy, service, and building something that matters.

Veteran foreign correspondent and journalist John Helmer discusses propaganda today, how the U.S. Empire is not going away anytime soon, and examines the factionalism between Zionist advisors and pragmatic strategists like J.D. Vance regarding the conflict with Iran. Helmer notes that while the West maintains tactical military advantages, Iran has gained strategic ground by establishing a credible deterrent through its missile capabilities. Turning to Russia, he describes a nation navigating economic recession and internal political pressure ahead of elections, suggesting that President Putin is often forced into compromises to maintain domestic stability. BRICS as an anti-imperial force has collapsed. Ultimately, he provides a sobering outlook on a future of permanent war and the erosion of international legal standards.

The founding father was a soldier from Denmark in Napoleon's Grande Armée, who in 1806 decided his chances of survival were greater if he didn't try to keep Napoleon company on the return home. Other family members were killed by the Germans during the invasion of the Soviet Union of 1941. Born and educated in Australia, then at Harvard University, Helmer has also been a professor of political science, of sociology, and of journalism, and an advisor to government heads in Australia, Greece, the United States, and Sri Lanka. He is a regular presenter on Russian topics in China, Western Europe, and the United States, and at conferences organized by CRU, Center for Management Technologies, the Vicenza (Italy) Fair, and other industry conventions. Before Russia, Helmer published several books in the US on military and political topics. Essays on the American presidency and on urban policy in the US followed in book compilations in 1981 and 1982; essays on Greek and Middle Eastern politics between 1986 and 1989. Since 1989 he has published almost exclusively on Russian topics. Today Helmer is one of the most widely read Russian specialists in the business world for his news-breaking stories on Russian base and precious metals, diamonds, mining, shipping, insurance, food trade, and business policy. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

Air Date: 4/10/2026 Today we examine the ideology quietly driving Silicon Valley — a worldview that treats growth, extraction, and the erasure of human messiness as virtues. We'll hear how tech leaders from Sam Altman to Larry Ellison embody a kind of corporate psychopathy, why Zuckerberg never understood what Facebook actually is, and how the cult of "go for its own sake" may be the most dangerous religion of our time.

A heist on a crime-syndicate planet, a “Duel of the Fates” needle drop that hasn't been heard since The Phantom Menace, and a Sith lord who barely has to break a sweat... Maul is off to a hell of a start. Matthew and Alex welcome TruStory FM co-owner Pete Wright to break down the first two episodes of the new animated series, set in the lawless underworld of Janix at the dawn of the Empire.The conversation covers the Blade Runner-meets-cop-noir world-building, the “sandwich prequel” problem of writing a character whose beginning and end we already know, and the big question: can Maul sustain eight episodes as a title character? Matthew makes the case that Maul is a Cassandra figure — he sees Palpatine's plan clearly and completely, but his methods mean no one will listen to him. Meanwhile, Pete brings a sharp outside perspective on what the show owes to Andor's willingness to let crime politics breathe.There's also spirited debate over Devin Izara and her Jedi master, whether the show's hallway fight scene has earned its place in a now-crowded genre, and where Crimson Dawn fits into Maul's long game — because Palpatine, as it turns out, is playing Candyland, and the outcome was never really in doubt.Star Wars Generations**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

The spiritual path is the path of each individual's personal evolution and development. Or change that into saying how one grows and improves through their life. Which is actually over lifetimes. And just to let you know dear watcher or listener, it's why you're currently in the Earth realm. Because there is improvement needed. For each of us. Ignoring empire, again meaning the darkness - supremacism, colonialism, imperialism, racism, classism, militarism, and the general shadow of the world is bypassing because it allows the ego to survive in a more refined form. It says, “I am above this,” while quietly remaining entangled in it and not doing your part to improve it. Facing empire—especially one's own—dissolves that illusion. It humbles the seeker. It forces integration. And integration, not escape, is the real work.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destins. Cette semaine, en quatre épisodes, nous allons vous raconter l'histoire d'un homme qui fait presque figure de légende. Et pourtant, il a bel et bien existé. Stratège de génie, tyran sanguinaire, conquérant humaniste et visionnaire, ce roi de l'Antiquité a changé la face du monde occidental à jamais. Son nom : Alexandre le Grand. Entre stratégie militaire, batailles épiques et ambitions démesurées, découvrez la troisième partie de son fabuleux destin.  Le plus grand empire de l'histoire 30 septembre -331. La plaine de Gaugamèles à côté de l'actuelle ville irakienne de Mossoul, est plongée dans l'obscurité. Mais au loin, des milliers de flammes brillent dans la nuit comme autant de lucioles : les feux de camp de l'ennemi. Charriée par le vent, l'odeur de la braise fumante et des herbes sauvages se répand dans les airs jusqu'aux bivouacs des Grecs. Parmi les fiers guerriers d'Alexandre, personne n'arrive à trouver le sommeil. La peur s'insinue dans l'esprit de chacun. Car à cette heure tardive, des grondements sourds résonnent de l'autre côté de la plaine. Les Perses se tiennent en ordre de bataille. Et vu les bruits qui émanent de leur campement, ils sont venus nombreux… très nombreux… et avec du renfort…!

“The European empires are guilty of a great many sins and horrors. And I actually think they should all be taking on a very serious project of decolonisation and reparative justice.”Amol Rajan speaks to Simukai Chigudu, Associate Professor of African Politics at Oxford University about the legacy of empire and how to reckon with the past. A member of the first generation born after the end of colonial rule in Zimbabwe, Simukai Chigudu came to the UK as a teenager and later became one of the founding members of a campaign to try to get the statue of imperialist Cecil Rhodes moved from Oriel College in Oxford.Now an associate professor of African politics at the University of Oxford, he's written a memoir called Chasing Freedom: Coming of Age at the End of Empire.He discusses the legacy of the Rhodes Must Fall campaign, why he thinks we should be decolonising the curriculum and whether countries like Britain should pay reparations for slavery.Thank you to the Radical with Amol Rajan team for its help in making this programme.

It's been some time since we've been able to sink our pointy teeth into a meaty Star Wars animated project. Since the finale of 'The Bad Batch' all the way back in May of 2024, all we've had to tie us over were anthology installments of varying quality. Praise the Force, that wait is finally over with the release of 'Maul: Shadow Lord', the latest full length series from Lucasfilm Animation. The series marks another technical leap forward for the animation studio, taking their patented visual style and adding another layer of detail and artistry that jumps off the screen. The story follows the titular, Maul shortly after the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, he's looking for revenge and the series wastes no time dropping us right into the thick of things (3 car/speeder chases in 40 mins is impressive). And while we know much of Maul's criminal dealings (and most of the rest of his life actually), the introduction of a new Padawan into the mix, another apprentice-to-be for Maul, adds a layer of intrigue to an otherwise underworld focused story. Join Julian and Rachel as they unpack Chapter 1: "The Dark Revenge" and Chapter 2: "Sinister Schemes", in intricate detail.

Bob Moriarty argues that the U.S. and Israel are facing a historic geopolitical decline. Moriarty claims that recent undisclosed military losses and a failing debt-based economic system are shifting global power toward resource-rich Eastern nations like Iran and China. He suggests that current Middle Eastern tensions are being used as a diversion from domestic scandals and strategic blunders, leading to potential regime changes and social collapse. The discussion highlights a transition away from the petrodollar, predicting that physical assets like gold and silver will become essential as Western empires fragment. Ultimately, Bob portrays the current era as a critical tipping point marked by leadership failures and the rise of new global powers.

So as things stand right now this certainly looks like a humiliating defeat for the empire. Iran gets a lot of things it didn't have before the war, including tolling the Strait of Hormuz and relief from the US sanctions that have been crushing its economy for years, while the empire gets to resume its shipping for a hefty fee and pretend it just rescued the world from a nuclear Iran. Quite the turnaround from a White House that just last month was saying "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Reading by Tim Foley.

Darth Maul Shadow Lord is telling the story of Maul climbing through the ranks as he eliminates his enemies until he rises to the top, the Empire.

Tuesday night, April 7th, 8:00PM. That is the deadline President Donald Trump has given Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, before the U.S. begins striking the Islamic Republic's energy infrastructure. Is it the end of the line for Iran? The Boys from the Ruthless Podcast, John Ashbrook and Michael Duncan, join Will and The Crew to examine President Trump's comments on Iran, before reacting to General Qasem Soleimani's niece's violations of Sharia Law (and detainment by ICE) and sharing their theories on the disappearance of several UFO adjacent scientists.Plus, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute Chris Rufo shares the fruits of his investigation into California's staggering levels of fraud, from a $114 million “butterfly bridge” to a multi-million dollar slush fund funneling taxpayer dollars to everything from “ancient Egyptian healing” to free doulas for “black-birthing” people and much more.Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠⁠⁠Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), Instagram (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), TikTok (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), and Facebook (⁠⁠⁠@willcainnews⁠⁠⁠)Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

5. Media mogul William Randolph Hearst, once an uneasy ally, became a formidable foe for Roosevelt leading into the campaign. Boasting a massive empire of newspapers and radio stations, Hearst exercised immense influence through front-page editorials and aggressive "soak the rich" rhetoric. His relationship with FDR soured as the New Deal moved further left, specifically over tax policies targeting multi-millionaires. Hearst's public image was also tarnished by a controversial meeting with Adolf Hitler in 1934. Ultimately, Hearst sought to neutralize Roosevelt by throwing his media weight behind the Republicanopposition. (6)1936 MAYOR BANQUET DC
