The latest episode of The Shameless Plug — the show in which Chris Hewitt and Empire editor Nick de Semlyen dig into the latest issue of Empire magazine — is here, folks, and it's a cracker. Join Chris and Nick as they talk about the Masters Of The Universe cover story, Chris' encounter with Renny Harlin, and the long pursuit to nab Jon Hamm for Pint Of Milk. We should have just scooped him up in a Hamm-net. Elsewhere in the episode, the two talk Threads, magic trees, and Chris does a First Line Of A Feature read in a Scottish accent. Our apologies to the people of Scotland. We hope this will not damage relations between our countries. Enjoy.
In this episode of The Loan Officer Podcast, host Dustin Owen sits down with Amanda Callaghan, a highly accomplished mortgage professional based in Wilmington, NC. Amanda opens up about her inspiring career journey, beginning with her humble start as a bank teller in Flint, MI. She describes how her dedication and work ethic propelled her through the ranks of the mortgage industry, eventually becoming a top producer with over $40 million in annual production. However, Amanda also candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including the intense pressure and eventual burnout that led her to step away from the business for a period of time. During the interview, Amanda reflects on the process of reinventing herself both personally and professionally. She emphasizes the critical role that company culture and strong mentorship played in her growth and recovery, and how these factors ultimately influenced her decision to return to the mortgage industry. Now, as the leader of growth at Empire, a rapidly expanding mortgage brokerage, Amanda is passionate about fostering a supportive environment for her team and helping others achieve their own success. Throughout the conversation, Amanda shares valuable insights on building resilience, the importance of finding the right organizational fit, and practical strategies for thriving in the ever-evolving mortgage landscape. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the rewards that come from perseverance, adaptability, and a commitment to personal and professional development. Whether you're a seasoned loan officer or just starting out in the industry, Amanda's experiences and advice offer inspiration and actionable takeaways for anyone looking to excel in the world of mortgage lending.

What we are witnessing is not normal politics; it is the language of an empire under strain, wrapped in exaggeration, distraction, and dangerous doublespeak that seeks to calm you on the surface while hardening power underneath — and we cannot afford to sleep through it. In this episode, I break it down plainly, call out what isn't true, and remind us why the upcoming midterms matter more than ever — so get in formation, stay informed, and if you believe in this work, support it at patreon.com/thebpdshow.
In this first live Q&A of our Lent 2025 series Jesus in Galilee, Dom and I work through 35 questions from the more than 2,000 people who have joined the class — and true to form, Dom tries to honor every single one of them. The conversation ranges from the silver cups of Boscoreale to the Gulf of Mexico, from Josephus's gritted-teeth defense of Judaism to what a State of the Union address might look like if Jesus gave it tonight. Dom argues that the apocalyptic imagination is, bluntly, a loss of faith; that coinage was the only real mass media of antiquity; that nonviolent resistance was invented — not borrowed — in first-century Judea; and that if you want to understand what an autocrat is planning, read very carefully what the autocrat accuses his opponents of. It is, in other words, exactly the kind of conversation I look forward to all year. If you want in on the rest of the series — the lectures, the live Q&As, and the full archive — head to CrossanClass.com. You can WATCH the conversation YouTube ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? This Lenten class begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here. John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus at DePaul University, is widely regarded as the foremost historical Jesus scholar of our time. He is the author of several bestselling books, including The Historical Jesus, How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian, God and Empire, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Greatest Prayer, The Last Week, and The Power of Parable.

Host of Geopolitics & Empire, Hrvoje Morić, gives an update from ground zero México detailing the violent aftermath of the reported death of a major cartel leader. He describes encountering narco blockades (torched vehicles) while attempting to navigate the city, which he characterizes as a “ghost town” during the peak of the unrest. Beyond personal observations, he analyzes the potential for increased U.S. military involvement and the geopolitical implications of joint security operations. He explores various theories suggesting the chaos could be a planned strategy of tension designed to justify a North American Union or Technate.

In Episode 319 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Jamie Crozier, an entrepreneur who did something most people only dream about. He bought the company he once worked for. Jamie shares his journey from stocking shelves at a dollar store to building his career in industrial sales, eventually acquiring Thunder Bay Hydraulics and expanding through the acquisition of Custom Hydraulics and the founding of Atlas Elite Lifts. His story is a powerful reminder that ownership is not about where you start, but about the moment you decide to bet on yourself and step into uncertainty. This episode dives deep into the realities of acquisition, the emotional weight of taking over a legacy business, and the resilience required to build and scale manufacturing companies in Canada during a time of tariffs, competition, and global uncertainty. Jamie also shares his innovative approach to transparency in service businesses and his vision for building premium, design-driven lift solutions across North America. This is a conversation about risk, responsibility, and the identity shift that happens when you stop working for someone else's future and start building your own.Key Takeaways: Ownership starts as an identity decision before it becomes a legal one.If you are going to be an entrepreneur, you have to get comfortable accepting risk and believing in yourself when everything depends on you.When acquiring a business, build your own relationships with your bank, accountant, and lawyer because those relationships will carry you through the process.Vendor take back financing can make acquisitions possible by aligning the seller with the future success of the business.Trust and personal relationships matter more than numbers because without trust, the deal will not happen or succeed.Buying a competitor requires patience, respect, and confidentiality because pushing too hard can destroy the opportunity.The emotional commitment to ownership begins before the deal closes, and the fear of losing the opportunity can be as powerful as the responsibility itself.Starting a company from nothing is far harder than buying one because you must build reputation, customers, and trust from zero.Transparency with customers during difficult times strengthens relationships and turns challenges into partnerships.Great companies differentiate themselves by solving real customer problems and making the experience easier, clearer, and faster.Check out Thunder Bay Hydraulics and learn more about the incredible work Jamie and his team are doing: https://thunderbayhydraulics.comLearn more about Custom Hydraulics: https://customhydraulics.comExplore Atlas Elite Lifts and their premium automotive lift solutions: https://www.atlaselitelifts.com/You can also connect with Jamie directly at...

What happens when a former lawyer and pop musician gets told she's "too old" to write about desire—and builds a literary empire instead? In episode 249 of Joy Found Here, author Lexy Shaw Delorme shares how she turned publisher rejection into fuel for independence.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the agonizing political and strategic choices faced by Great Britain in the 1930s.Why did the British government delay rearmament for so long? Drawing on Daniel Todman's Britain's War: Into Battle, we examine how the shadow of the First World War and the Great Depression shaped the policy of appeasement. Nick argues that the "caution" of the Baldwin and Chamberlain governments wasn't just cowardice; it was a desperate attempt to avoid the "total war" that would require the complete subordination of freedom and prosperity to the state.From the technological leap from biplanes to monoplanes to the "imperial overstretch" that left Singapore and Palestine vulnerable, we delve into the global chessboard of the late 30s. How did the need to defend an empire spanning the globe leave Britain dangerously exposed in Europe? And why was the fall of Singapore written into the strategic compromises of the 1920s?Plus: Details on our upcoming Nazi Germany Masterclass in March!Key Topics:The Rearmament Debate: Why a "Churchillian" surge in 1935 might have failed.Technological Change: The shift from fabric biplanes to the Spitfire and Hurricane.Imperial Overstretch: The impossible task of defending the UK, the Mediterranean, and the Far East simultaneously.The Palestine Mandate: How the Arab Revolt of 1936 tied down British troops needed elsewhere.Books Mentioned:Britain's War: Into Battle (1937-1941) by Daniel TodmanEnglish History 1914-1945 by A.J.P.

No new Star Wars comics this week, but they'll return on March 4 with two, one each from Marvel and Dark Horse. Still, we've got the details about the upcoming five-issue series of Rogue One one-shots, along with speculation about upcoming publishing plans by Marvel and Dark Horse.Comics Discussed This Week:NoneStar Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week: Jedi Knights #9 (of 10) News:Five separate, yet related, one shots to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of the most excellent Star Wars: Rogue One film are coming from Marvel from May to September.

Check the Facebook page or our our Blue Sky feed for details on each issue's creative teams.Details on Marvel's May solicits are on our social-media feeds.There's no new Dark Horse Comics' June solicits.

Premier empereur véritablement destiné à régner dès sa naissance, il incarne une transformation majeure du pouvoir romain : la fin progressive du principat modéré des Antonins et l'émergence d'une monarchie plus personnelle, plus spectaculaire, plus militaire.Pourquoi descend-il dans l'arène ?Est-il réellement un fou sanguinaire ?Son règne marque-t-il le début de la chute de l'Empire ?À travers les sources antiques, les enjeux politiques et le contexte du IIᵉ siècle, cet épisode démonte les clichés et réévalue la figure de l'« empereur gladiateur ».Commode n'est peut-être pas le crépuscule de Rome.Il en est peut-être le tournant.

The Devil's Ledger Week of February 22 The flame is out. The mountains fall quiet. This week on The Devil's Ledger, we say farewell to the Winter Olympics — and to the Italian Alps, whose beauty, history, and lingering shadows reminded us that even the most breathtaking places tend to keep a few secrets. But while the games end, the stories across the network are just getting started. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week Nature delivered the reminder. In March of 1888, a storm known as The White Hurricane buried the Northeast under up to 50 inches of snow, with drifts rising to the height of buildings. Communication collapsed. Cities were cut off. More than 400 people died — many only steps from safety. The storm didn't just paralyze the region. It changed it. In response, New York began moving critical infrastructure underground — a decision that eventually led to the creation of the subway system. Sometimes the scariest stories aren't about monsters. They're about how quickly control disappears. On The Devil Within By listener request, we begin a two-part series on one of America's most enduring and unsettling legends: The Mothman West Virginia. The 1960s. Glowing red eyes. Massive wings. Dozens of witnesses. And a chilling pattern — sightings that seem to appear before tragedy. Folklore? Mass hysteria? Something unknown? Or a warning. On The Ides of April A new historical arc begins: Alexander the Great A young king who conquered the known world before the age of thirty — and may have outrun the limits of power itself. Empire. Ambition. Destiny. And the question history always asks: What happens when there's nothing left to conquer? On Taboo Treasures The guys return with a sharp and satirical look at one of humanity's stranger traditions: The most dangerous jobs we've ever created. From ancient hazards to modern risks, it's a darkly funny exploration of the ways people have risked their lives… for a paycheck. On Criminal Mischief Carolyn Ossorio brings updates on several major cases currently dominating the news, including developments involving Nancy Guthrie, Brendan Banfield, and other ongoing investigations. Because in true crime, the story rarely ends when the headlines move on. On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh continues his daily journey into the uncomfortable territory most of us try to avoid: Accountability. Honesty. And the work of figuring out what actually needs attention. Personal. Raw. Necessary. This Week in Horror For Gen X horror fans, this one feels personal. The seventh installment of the Scream franchise arrives in theaters. When a new Ghostface targets Sidney's daughter, she's forced to confront her past — and end the cycle of violence once and for all. Some franchises fade. Others grow up with us. And somehow… Ghostface is still calling. Closing Thought As this episode releases, a major winter storm is moving toward the Northeast. A reminder — like the storms of the past — that control is often temporary. If you're in its path: Slow down. Stay warm. Check on each other. We're thinking of you. Until next week… Stay curious. Stay careful. And stay safe out there.
In this episode, I'm recording my intro from the Bahamas on the FemmeLand cruise, getting ready to host a live LTTA podcast on the boat, and reflecting on the season I'm walking out of — what I call blind, blissful ignorance — and the season I'm walking into: spiritual sight and awareness. I talk honestly about what it means to finally see clearly — to see myself, to see others for who they truly are, and to confront the ugly parts in my own heart instead of pretending they're not there.Then I sit down with my sister Serayah McNeill, and we go deep. From being homeless right before booking Empire, to living in hotels, to breaking survival cycles, to navigating imposter syndrome, therapy, comparison, love, motherhood, and healing inside of a relationship — this conversation is raw, layered, and honest. We talk about shedding old identities, letting go of comparison, releasing self-inflicted pressure, and choosing purpose over performance. This episode is about moving from survival to thriving — and doing the inner work that makes the thriving sustainable.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

Todd Miller, a journalist and author specializing in the militarization of the U.S. border, argues that the current expansion of CBP and ICE is a bipartisan trend spanning decades, rather than a phenomenon exclusive to any single administration. He describes a growing “border industrial complex” where private companies profit from surveillance technologies like robotic dogs, AI towers, and biometric databases. These advanced tools and “extra-constitutional powers” are increasingly moving from the borderlands into the interior of the United States, impacting major cities and American citizens. He warns of a transitioning police state where digital walls and mass detention facilities are becoming normalized global standards.

He was born sometime in the mid-fourth century on an island in the Aegean. For a time he lived successfully in the world, receiving a good education in Constantinople, then serving for a time for the Prefect of the Praetorium. But, becoming aware of the vanity of worldly things, he answered Christ's call, gave away all his goods to the poor and entered a monastery in Syria. After four years in obedience, he came to feel that the security of monastic life was inconsistent with the Gospel command to take no thought for the morrow; so he withdrew to the desert, taking with him only his garment and the Book of the Gospel. There he lived alone for seven years. At the end of this period he set out on an apostolic mission to Mesopotamia, where he brought many to Christ: the city prefect Rabbula was converted after Alexander brought down fire from heaven, and a band of brigands who accosted the Saint on the road were transformed into a monastic community. He finally fled the city when the Christians there rose up demanding that he be made bishop. He once again took up a solitary life in the desert beyond the Euphrates, spending the day in prayer and part of the night sheltered in a barrel. There he remained for forty years. His holiness gradually attracted more than four hundred disciples, whom Alexander organized into a monastic community. Each disciple owned only one tunic, and was required to give away anything that they did not need for that day. Despite this threadbare life, the monastery was able to set up and run a hospice for the poor! Alexander was perplexed as to how the admonition Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17) could be fulfilled by frail human flesh, but after three years of fasting and prayer, God showed him a method. He organized his monks into four groups according to whether their native language was Greek, Latin, Syriac or Coptic, and the groups prayed in shifts throughout the day and night. Twenty-four divine services were appointed each day, and the monks would chant from the Psalter between services. The community henceforth came to be known as the Akoimetoi, the Unsleeping Ones. (Similar communities later sprang up in the West, practicing what was there called Laus Perennis; St Columban founded many of these.) Always desiring to spread the holy Gospel, Saint Alexander sent companies of missionaries to the pagans of southern Egypt. He and a company of 150 disciples set out as a kind of traveling monastery, living entirely on the charity of the villages they visited. Eventually they settled in some abandoned baths in Antioch, setting up a there a monastery dedicated to the unceasing praise of God; but a jealous bishop drove them from the city. Making his way to Constantinople, he settled there with four monks. In a few days, more than four hundred monks had left their monasteries to join his community. The Saint organized them into three companies — Greeks, Latins and Syrians — and restored the program of unsleeping prayer that his community had practiced in Mesopotamia. Not surprisingly, his success aroused the envy and anger of the abbots whose monasteries had been nearly emptied; they managed to have him condemned as a Messalian at a council held in 426. (The Messalians were an over-spiritualizing sect who believed that the Christian life consisted exclusively of prayer.) Alexander was sent back to Syria, and most of his monks were imprisoned; but as soon as they were released, most fled the city to join him again. The Saint spent his last years traveling from place to place, founding monasteries, often persecuted, until he reposed in 430, 'to join the Angelic choirs which he had so well imitated on earth.' (Synaxarion) The practice of unceasing praise, established by St Alexander, spread throughout the Empire. The Monastery of the Akoimetoi, founded by a St Marcellus, a successor of Alexander, was established in Constantinople and became a beacon to the Christian world. 'Even though it has not been retained in today's practice, the unceasing praise established by Saint Alexander was influential in the formation of the daily cycle of liturgical offices in the East and even more so in the West.' (Synaxarion)

Arbitrating Empire: United States Expansion and the Transformation of International Law (Oxford UP, 2024) by Dr. Allison Powers offers a new history of the emergence of the United States as a global power-one shaped as much by attempts to insulate the US government from international legal scrutiny as it was by efforts to project influence across the globe. Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States, Mexico, Panama, and the United Kingdom, the book traces how thousands of dispossessed residents of US-annexed territories petitioned international Claims Commissions between the 1870s and the 1930s to charge the United States with violating international legal protections for life and property.Through attention to the consequences of their unexpected claims, Dr. Powers demonstrates how colonized subjects, refugees from slavery, and migrant workers transformed a series of tribunals designed to establish the legality of US imperial interventions into sites through which to challenge the legitimacy of US colonial governance. One of the first social histories of international law, the book argues that contests over meanings of sovereignty and state responsibility that would reshape the mid-twentieth-century international order were waged not only at diplomatic conferences, but also in Arizona copper mines, Texas cotton fields, Samoan port cities, Cuban sugar plantations, and the locks and stops of the Panama Canal.Arbitrating Empire uncovers how ordinary people used international law to hold the United States accountable for state-sanctioned violence during the decades when the nation was first becoming a global empire-and demonstrates why State Department attempts to erase their claims transformed international law in ways that continue to shield the US government from liability to this day. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Premier empereur véritablement destiné à régner dès sa naissance, il incarne une transformation majeure du pouvoir romain : la fin progressive du principat modéré des Antonins et l'émergence d'une monarchie plus personnelle, plus spectaculaire, plus militaire.Pourquoi descend-il dans l'arène ?Est-il réellement un fou sanguinaire ?Son règne marque-t-il le début de la chute de l'Empire ?À travers les sources antiques, les enjeux politiques et le contexte du IIᵉ siècle, cet épisode démonte les clichés et réévalue la figure de l'« empereur gladiateur ».Commode n'est peut-être pas le crépuscule de Rome.Il en est peut-être le tournant.

Ricardo Vaz, a journalist and political analyst based in Venezuela, discusses the US kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores and how US Secretary of State Marco Rubio attempted to frame the operation as if it were just a question of domestic law enforcement, even though Venezuela lies clearly outside of US jurisdiction. Examining how corporate media is deeply intertwined with US imperialism while playing a vital role for Empire, Vaz considers how the New York Times and the Washington Post failed to report information to which they were privy: that the US military operation in Venezuela was going to happen, yet they chose not to publish on the impending invasion in order to not endanger US soldiers. Vaz also analyses what he terms the “schizophrenia inside imperialist circles,” whereby US Democrats disapproved of the kidnapping of Maduro and Flores, primarily because there was no plan to install Maria Corina Machado into office. Exploring Venezuelan politics, Vaz articulates the resentment of both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro by the elite who have long struggled to regain power while viewing themselves as the ideal US surrogates to run Venezuela while paradoxically never having found a viable way to take power without US support. However, Chavez's entry into office dashed the hopes of the elite to regain power while also offending their sense of entitlement, given their resentment that the working class might have any political representation within the national government. Vaz also scrutinises the situation in Cuba, which has become very desperate in recent weeks, noting how for the past 20 years Venezuela has been the biggest supplier of oil to Cuba, fuel which powers public transportation, the airline industry, and electricity plants.

In this jaw-dropping episode , we sit down with George Day — one of the most prolific yet largely unknown drug kingpins in American history. Raised in Washington, DC, George was literally born into the drug trade. By age six, he was traveling across the border with his father, helping smuggle hundreds of pounds of marijuana hidden inside a Winnebago. As he grew older, his life spiraled deeper into the underworld — from trimming weed in Mexico to handling massive cash pickups and negotiating with Colombian suppliers before he was even a teenager. After his father's sudden death, George found himself — at just 11 years old — sitting on a multimillion-dollar drug ledger, forced to navigate dangerous debts, cartel relationships, and violent street politics. What followed was the rise of a cocaine empire that eventually stretched across all 50 states… and ultimately led to a life sentence plus 90 years in federal prison. This is Part 1 of an unbelievable story about family, survival, crime, and the realities of growing up inside America's drug economy.
