Theologian and pastor Dr. Barry Jones joins Kaitlyn to tackle a tricky question that leads us to some of the most beautiful passages in Scripture. Why does God allow evil things to happen in the world when he is sad about them? Dr. Jones explains how sin grieves God, and how God's sadness at our suffering can be a comfort to us. He also shows us how we can trust God even as we await answers to some of our biggest questions about God. 0:00 - Show Starts 1:06 - Theme Song 1:56 - Why does God let sad things happen? 5:56 - God gets sad! 14:16 - Sponsor - Dwell - Listen to scripture throughout your day.

Louis Vuitton dropped its new makeup line, and the prices are... INSANE! (Who is buying this stuff?!) Newsweek's H.

Dr. McKirland gives us a picture of the people of God as a family, shows us what Scripture says about our relationship to each other as siblings, and points us back to our true identity as children of our Father God. 0:00 - Sponsor - For the Good of the Public Summit - CCPL's annual summit in Washington, DC to act on important public issues.

He's stealing scenes in the new movie Weapons and his hot dog moment is already legendary, but there's more to Clayton Farris than meets the eye. The actor and social media star joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about his viral fame on and off the big screen. Most importantly, Clayton opens up about a major misconception. While audiences are watching him and thinking he's a straight guy playing a gay character, he's here to correct a few things, and talk more broadly about what it's like to be a working queer actor.

From Mar-a-Lago to the Hollywood Hills, things are getting weird, so we called in the great Gianmarco Soresi to help us process. On the docket: Why is Trump coming for the beloved Gayle King? What's behind the GOP's newfound obsession with Sydney Sweeney? And in the most shocking career pivot of the year, why did Dean Cain announce he's joining ICE? We try to figure it all out, and also wonder if the new White House ballroom will have a disco ball. You don't want to miss this one.

This week on End Credits, we're hitting the links. Well, we're not hitting the links, at least not yet, but we will watch other people hit the links in the sporting sequel comedy Happy Gilmore 2, which you can now stream on Netflix. And since we're back in the realm of Adam "Sandman" Sandler, we will talk about the empire he built! This Wednesday, August 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Happy Madison Movie Draft. Adam Sandler is a movie-making machine. His production company, which is named after his first two movies, has been cranking out hits for himself and others for decades, and not just comedies either. In honour of the latest Happy Madison entry, we will talk about some of the best and brightest that they've put out over the years, from the regulars to the perhaps even the rare dramatic turn. REVIEW: Happy Gilmore 2 (2025). Thirty years ago, a would-be hockey player became a golf sensation in the first of many big comedy successes from the House of Sandler. Now Happy is back on the links courtesy of the Sandman's long standing relationship with Netflix, but does he still have it? And by "it" we mean mass appeal and anger management issues. The usual collection of Sandler regulars and family members are all here for the mighty return of Happy, Shooter and all their friends, but will the audience come back for more? Programming Note: End Credits will be running previously enjoyed episodes on Wednesday August 13 and 20. We will back with new episodes on Wednesday August 27. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
The Guelph Fringe Festival unfolds this weekend with 10 companies performing in three different venues over four days in downtown Guelph with 100 per cent of the ticket prices going back to the artists. These shows are experimental, personal, and unlike anything you will ever see anywhere else, and this week's show is going to highlight three interviews from three different shows to tell you why Guelph Fringe is a can't miss event for theatre fans and the theatre curious. First, we will talk to Bridget Cann from Staccayto Staccato, the Toronto-based musical comedy troupe who staged last year's Guelph Fringe "Big Buzz Award" winner, Make Up! The Musical. It's a musical comedy show that's completely made up! Using suggestions from the audience, they come up with a whole one hour musical with improvised characters, plots, places, and, of course, music. Then, we will talk to Christel Bartelse, a Toronto-based actor/storyteller, comedian, and director and educator. Her show is A Woman of My Age, which Bartelse both wrote and performs, is her seventh solo production after ONEymoon, Chaotica and All KIDding Aside which have toured to fringe festivals all across Canada, and the U.S. and also to Edinburgh, the largest fringe festival in the world. And finally we will talk to Julie Lyn Barber and Michelle Dvoskin. Turbulent Architect, written and performed by Barber and directed and dramaturged by Dvoskin, offers a candid, heartwarming, and hilarious guided tour of the chaotic inner workings of Barber's mind. Barber is an actor, singer, director, choreographer, musical director, and the Head of Musical Theatre at Purdue University Fort Wayne while Dvoskin is a director, intimacy choreographer, performer, playwright and an associate professor in the Department of Theatre & Dance at Western Kentucky University. On this week's episode the four of them will talk about their shows, their inspirations, and the challenges in staging their production. We will also talk about their backgrounds, what makes a show “fringe”, and what they hope the audience will leave with when the show is over. So let's talk about some of this year's shows at the Guelph Fringe Festival on this week's Guelph Politicast! The Guelph Fringe Festival runs from Thursday August 7 to Sunday August 10. You can see the full schedule and buy tickets at their website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify . Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday. Programming Note: Guelph Politicast will be running previously enjoyed episodes on Wednesday August 13 and 20. We will back with new episodes on Wednesday August 27.
This week, comedian Zach Noe Towers joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott for a whirlwind ride through the pop culture circus you didn't know you needed. We're talking the totally random (and kind of perfect?) romance rumors between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, the alleged Katy Perry–Justin Trudeau connection that has the internet ina. tizzy, and why Sydney Sweeney can't even pose for American Eagle without sparking a controversy. Plus, we're giving our unfiltered thoughts on the Luigi Mangione musical (yes, it's a thing) and the shocking sight of Jason Momoa without a beard—spoiler alert: not a good look. If you love gossip with a wink, celebrity absurdity, and a dash of “did that really happen?”—this one's for you.

This week on End Credits we are faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Get ready to pump iron, or make that steel, with the cinema's newest superhero in the bright and cheerful Superman. But is it one of the best movies of the year? TBD, in the meantime though we're going to talk about some other contenders! This Wednesday, July 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Best of 2025... So Far! So we're a little late with this given all of our 400th episode festivities earlier this month, but it did buy us an extra month to take stock of the movie year so far. How are we doing? Well, we will dig into that very question by talking about some of our early contenders for the "Best of the Year" so far including something Canadian, something action-packed, something funny, and something sexy! REVIEW: Superman (2025). It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a reboot! James Gunn has flown the relative safety of Marvel (where he made the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy) and has taken on the massive task of creating a big, better DC Universe starting with Superman. This Man of Steel is less serious and dour than its predecessor, but Gunn's still injected a surprising amount of real world relevance. Plus, there's a super dog! There's a lot riding on Superman, especially as the comic book movie bubble is bursting, but can we still believe a man can fly? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
Donald Trump's return to the White House promised economic disturbances if not outright challenges, and this is on top of the challenges that already existed like supply chains, wages, turnover, and the high cost of housing and real estate. It's also worth noting that these are not Guelph-specific challenges, but that's okay because the new president of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce is not from Guelph. What will be impact when Trump slaps 35 per cent on tariffs on Friday? On the other hand, maybe Trump will initiate another pause on implementing new tariffs. Does it even matter at this point? Businesses big and small depend on stability because if things are stable, you make reasonable predictions for the future in regard to planning, growth, marketing and hiring. Andy Veilleux arrived in the president's office at the Guelph Chamber the day after Trump retook the White House, and when we say “arrived” we mean from outside of town. His most recent job was as Director of Policy & Government Relations at the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, a community similar to Guelph in some ways, but very, very different in others. There's a lot on Veilleux's desk, so what does he intend to do about it while also adapting to life as a new Guelphite? We will dig into all that and more on this week's edition as Veilleux discusses his background and experience, why he made the move to Guelph, and what he's learned about life in the city so far. He will also talk about the present business challenges, and why the Chamber of Commerce is about more than just business interests. Plus, he will discussthe importance of the University of Guelph to the city's overall economic health, and what he wants his tenure at the Chamber to be about. So let's talk about business on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can follow him on social media @andyveilleux on Twitter and Instagram, and you can check out his poetry at his website. He will also be speaking at the Rotary Club of Guelph in their monthly meeting on Friday September 19 at the Italian Canadian Club, and you can register at the Rotary Guelph website. For more information about the Guelph Chamber of Commerce, you can find them at their website or on social media on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube.

This week Franchesca Ramsey joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to sift through the pop culture chaos that was this week. We're talking Trisha Paytas' reincarnation theory following the death of Ozzy Osbourne (yes, really). Also, after the deaths of Osbourne, Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and Hulk Hugan, could people just stop dying this week?! We also pondered what late night might look like after Stephen Colbert. Finally, influencers got cozy at Elon Musk's new Hollywood café, do they deserve to be called out—or called in?

This week on End Credits we're nostalgic. Not for our own past now 401 episodes in, but for our collective movie past. First we stop in the 80s and talk about everyone's favourite movie about accidentally getting seduced by a parent after travelling back in time, and then we will go to 90s where someone will always know about what someone else did last summer! This Wednesday, July 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Back to Back to the Future... at 40! So for the first episode of our four-hundreds, we're going back to where it all started, the 80s! This month marks four decades since the release of Back to the Future, the time travel adventure comedy directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, and we will start this week's show by doing a deep dive into why the affection for this movie spans generations. REVIEW: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). Speaking going back in time, this week's movie takes us back to the 90s. Sort of. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return along with a new generation of hot young people who make a big mistake one summer night and start paying for it one year later... with extreme severity. Before we get the hook, we will head back to legacy town where we will learn again that while we might be through with the past, the past is not through with us. And neither is the guy with a fishhook! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
It's been almost a year since Guelph City Council approved the Public Space Use Bylaw. You may not see as many tents as you once did, especially in the open in places like St. George's Square, but don't think that they're gone. There are still many people in Guelph who are unhoused, unwell, and are still searching for help that's hard to come by, and this week will talk to one of the helpers. In the wake of the growing number of encampments downtown council adopted the Public Space Use Bylaw to restricted them to certain areas, and then early this year they restricted them further with an amendment to bar encampments in parks near schools and daycares. Then, the Ontario government passed new laws to allow the swift removal of encampments last month, which is all meant to appear that there's progress on dealing with homelessness. In reality though, it has just made life for people living in encampments a lot harder. Seeking help could be an invitation to getting yourself, and anyone else in the camp, evicted, and then where will you go? In this situation, there are very few people you can trust, but one of them is Danny Liu, who was a pharmacist in Guelph for years but now spends his days visiting the people in greatest need in all the places they've tried to make some kind of home. Today, he's going to talk about how things are going. Lui joins us on this edition to talk about the current conditions in encampments around Guelph, the kinds of issues he's seeing, and the barriers they're currently experiencing when it comes to getting the help they need. Also, he will talk about the impact of the closure of the safe consumption site, and why self-medication is sometimes the only relief that unhoused people can get. He will also share his insights about the ways that Wellington County social services is falling short. So let's learn about the current state of encampments on this week's Guelph Politicast! Both the City of Guelph and the County of Wellington have pages on their websites about how they assist residents who are currently unhoused. If you're looking at ways you can help out with donations or volunteering your time, you can talk to Stepping Stone, Guelph Community Health Centre, and Stonehenge Therapeutic Community. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify .

Was God causing Pharaoh to do something evil? Was God overriding Pharaoh's free will?

Federal Colony Station #1 sits at the heart of New Ronne. It's where Avis and Devon Merlot work, alongside their friendly server maintenance droid, “Neil”, who's always happy to help. This Colony, in the long thawed Antarctic, is the only place all three of them have ever called home. It's where Avis and Devon care for their son and where Neil cares for his servers, and it's full of families living their lives as it continues to grow every day. Times are good in New Ronne, on a surface level, but things are never as good as they seem. When a strange traveler appears in New Ronne, bringing bad omens and wielding unnatural powers, something stirs beneath the surface. The Stranger shows Avis, Devon, and Neil that they're all in for a bad time.Music and Sound Effects:“Intro” by Abigail McDonald“Eyes That Follow” by Abigail McDonald“Noisy Server Computer” by the_toilet_guy at (Freesound.org)“First Love” by Mark Wilson X at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Bonus: All in a Garden Green (Orchestral Version)” by Axletree at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Mysterious Ambiance Music” by TheoJT at (Freesound.org)“Gloomy Reverie” by Universfield at (Freesound.org)“Winterstorm II: A Cinematic And Ambient Soundscape” by kjartan_abel at (Freesound.org)“End Credits” by Paweł Feszczuk at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Instrumental Mystic Song For Paranormal Videos” by Universfield at (Freesound.org)

We have a pope and he's American! Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago is now Pope Leo XIV, and his connection to The Holy Post is closer than anyone imagined. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss reactions to the new Pope and the significance of his name. Katelyn Beaty is back to discuss the evolution of the Q Conference, led by Gabe and Rebekah Lyons. Why has an event that started almost 20 years ago with a positive vision of Christian cultural engagement for the common good now shifted to embrace the culture war? And what does it reveal about larger changes within American evangelicalism? Also this week—The Trump administration is accepting refugees into the U.S. again (as long as they are white), the Quakers are on the move, caterpillar flair, and baby girl Bible names.

Pope Francis died on Monday. Will the Catholic Church continue to move in the direction of inclusion and reform, or will it elect a more traditional leader in reaction to the last papacy? Mike Cosper is back to talk about his new podcast from Christianity Today about the Satanic Panic, “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.” In the 1980s and 90s, the FBI investigated 11,000 reports of satanic ritual abuse, but did not uncover a single credible story. So, why were parents throughout the country worried that heavy metal music, board games, and the Smurfs would lead their kids into devil-worshipping cults? Cosper explains how hucksters leveraged fears over cultural change to create mass hysteria, and why lessons from the Satanic Panic are still relevant today. Also this week, Medieval art reveals the sounds and smells of hell.

BrownTown takes on "La Plataforma 2" (2024) with Alderhomies Rossana Rodriguez (33rd) and Jessie Fuentes (26th) about a vertical prison where those inside are fed off of a descending platform, leaving only the diminishing leftovers for those below. BrownTown and the alderhomies breakdown the second installment noting the commentary on governance systems, resistance factions and social movements, relational ethics, and abolition.--GUESTSAlderwoman Rossana Rodriguez (33rd), now in her second term, is the Chair of the Committee on Health and Human Relations for the Chicago City Council. Rossana was born and raised in Puerto Rico and started organizing at six years old when her community had to fight for access to running water. Organizing soon became a fundamental part of her life and remains her main tool within her work in government. Rossana came to Chicago after austerity and budget cuts forced her to leave her job as a drama teacher in Puerto Rico. She originally moved to Albany Park to work as a theatre director with a youth theatre company 14 years ago and chose to stay and organize around housing, education, immigrant rights, and mental health. She is the chief sponsor for the Treatment Not Trauma legislation and continues to organize with grassroots organizations to transform Chicago. Follow Rossana on Facebook, Instagram, (personal, political) and Twitter (personal, political). Stay up to date with her City Council work and 33rd ward services at Rossanafor33.org.Alderperson Jessie Fuentes (26th) is a queer Latina grassroots organizer, educator, and public policy advocate with over a decade of experience in education, criminal justice reform, affordable housing, community development and sustainability. A lifelong Chicagoan and resident of the Northwest side, Jessie spent most of her formative years growing up and working in Humboldt Park. Through personal resilience, community support and restorative justice, Jessie turned her most traumatic life experiences into tools to uplift others facing similar circumstances. In her previous roles as an educator and Dean of Students at Roberto Clemente Community Academy and as an organizer around issues of violence prevention, housing affordability, and re-entry for returning citizens, she convened and connected community stakeholders to create community-driven solutions to the biggest problems facing Humboldt Park. Jessie recently served as the Director of Policy and Youth Advocacy at the Puerto Rican Cultural Center. She Co-chaired the Violence Prevention program of the Illinois Latino Agenda and is also a Founding Member of the Illinois Latino Agenda 2.0, focusing on community development and Latine equity.

Since WWII, the United States has been actively engaged in foreign aid as part of its strategic foreign policy, and Christians of all theological and political views have broadly supported this effort. In the first month of the Trump administration, however, Christians on the far right have suddenly turned against international aid. What's behind this change and are there parallels on the religious left? And what does it mean when MAGA Catholics are arguing directly with Pope Francis about immigrants, refugees, and the poor? Author and journalist, Katherine Stewart, has investigated the religious nationalist movement for 15 years. She says there's a major disconnect between the super-rich funding the movement (many aren't even Christians), and the average white evangelicals caught up in its conspiracy theories and events. She talks with Skye about her new book, “Money, Lies, and God.” Also this week—Phil looks at larvae and sees the face of God.

During a recent Fox News interview, Vice President J.D. Vance cited “an old school and very Christian concept” to justify rejecting refugees and ending international aid. Bishops from his own church disagreed. The Holy Post crew explores the concept Vance was citing, how he misunderstands it, and why his interpretation undermines the entire New Testament. Kaitlyn interviews Skye about his new book, “What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice?” They talk about the link between justice and worship, what it means to have a heart “far from God,” and why the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement is biblical but taught in a proudly unbiblical way in many churches. Also this week, Phil returns to Twitter and learns who Margaret is.

David French brings us his thoughts on why the GOP is no longer the party of the Constitution. Have political party allegiances broken the system? What Constitutional guard rails can operate when people are worried about falling out of the President's favor? Then, he talks about Carl Schmitt, a German political thinker who may have the key to understanding the difference between the politics we're used to—and the emerging politics of the New Right.
