It spread because crowds loved it, passed it on, and turned one Angels song into a piece of Australian culture. We're joined by Australian music legend John Brewster for a relaxed, funny, and surprisingly moving chat that reaches far beyond a single hit.We go back to the roots: four generations of music in the Brewster family, from classical Adelaide and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra connection to the “black sheep” moment that pulled John toward rock and roll. John shares the records that shaped him, from the Everly Brothers to Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, plus what it meant to see Dylan live in 1966. Along the way, we talk about learning music by ear, why lyric-writing mattered to The Angels, and how today's world of YouTube changes the learning curve for young players.Then we dig into the big milestone: the 50-year celebration of “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again,” the national tour, and the wild path from early flop to all-time anthem. John opens up about working with Harry Vanda and George Young, the creative pressure of the AC/DC era, the moment the band heard the chant explode in Mount Isa, and the sad real-life story behind the lyric. If you love Aussie rock, classic Australian bands, and the real mechanics of how songs become legends, this one's for you.Subscribe for more conversations, share this with a mate who knows the words, and leave a review so more music lovers can find the show.

On December 6, 1975, Wesley Diggs returned to his home in Teaneck, New Jersey, and discovered his wife, Jean, and their four children—Audrey, Allison, Wesley Jr., and five-year-old Roger—shot to death.There was no obvious forced entry. Nothing appeared to have been stolen. Neighbors reportedly heard nothing, despite more than twenty shots being fired.In this episode, Steph examines the crime scene, Wesley's business connections, the Harlem leads, three potential suspects, an informant's account, and the controversial theory that Jean may have killed the children. We also consider whether race affected the investigation and why, after fifty years, no one has been held responsible.Someone entered—or was allowed into—the Diggs home that night. The question is: who, and why?Content warning: This episode discusses the murder of children, family homicide, gun violence, and descriptions of a crime scene.Follow Murder in the Black, leave a five-star review, and share the episode.

In 1978, a farmer in rural China could not sell a sack of grain above the state quota, choose an employer, or move to the nearest city without a permit.In this week's VoxDev Talk, Kaiji Chen and Tao Zha (both Emory University and Atlanta Fed) explain how China dismantled barriers like this one at a time. Gradualist reform first gave farmers the right to sell surplus grain at market prices. Small state firms were privatised 19 years later, while the largest kept state backing. This style of reform powered two distinct growth engines: first, labour moving off the land, then a wave of capital into infrastructure and property. The result: half a century of unprecedented growth -- but it also produced the debt, inequality and trade tension now working against China's growth model.The research behind this episode:Chen, Kaiji, and Tao Zha. 2025. "China's Macroeconomic Development: The Role of Gradualist Reforms." Journal of Economic Literature 63 (4): 1331-62.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Kaiji Chen, and Tao Zha. 2026. "Fifty years of Chinese growth: The gradualist reform strategy explained." VoxDev Talk (podcast).About the guestsKaiji Chen is Professor of Economics at Emory University and a research fellow at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Center for Quantitative Economic Research. His research spans financial contracts, business cycles and China's macroeconomy, with recent work on housing policy, credit allocation and household consumption in China.Tao Zha is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Economics at Emory University and executive director of the Center for Quantitative Economic Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2017. His research spans macroeconomics, financial economics and econometrics, with a long standing focus on China's economy.Research cited in this episodeThe household responsibility system. Piloted in Sichuan and Anhui from 1978 and adopted nationwide by 1980, this reform kept land collectively owned but contracted it to individual households, who could sell output above a fixed state quota at market prices. It replaced work point pay with a direct link between effort and income, and the productivity gains it released freed the rural labour surplus behind China's first wave of industrialisation.Township and village enterprises (TVEs). Rural, collectively owned firms that absorbed workers leaving agriculture through the 1980s and 1990s, often with local governments acting as guarantors for bank credit the firms could not secure alone. TVE employment grew from 28 million in 1978 to 135 million by 1997, and TVE output rose from under 6% of GDP to 26% over roughly the same period.The hukou system. China's household registration system, introduced in 1958, ties access to housing, healthcare, education and grain rations to a person's registered location, rural or urban. It made moving to a city without an urban permit practically impossible. Restrictions eased in stages from the late 1990s, and the formal rural urban distinction was removed nationwide only in 2014."Grasp the large, let go of the small." The policy, initiated in 1997, under which China privatised or allowed the bankruptcy of small and medium state owned enterprises while retaining state control of the largest, most capital intensive firms in sectors such as infrastructure, energy and real estate.WTO accession and permanent Most Favoured Nation status. China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. From 2002, permanent MFN status with the United States removed the annual threat of tariff spikes on Chinese exports, a stability that Chen and Zha's paper credits with accelerating China's shift from labour intensive exports toward electronics and other capital intensive goods.The 2009 stimulus and local government financing vehicles. In response to the global financial crisis, China launched a four trillion RMB fiscal package alongside a sharp expansion of bank lending. Much of the resulting infrastructure spending ran through local government financing vehicles, off budget entities set up to borrow for public projects; the debt they built up is now central to China's financial stability risks.Total social financing. International Monetary Fund. 2026. "People's Republic of China: 2025 Article IV Consultation." IMF Country Report No. 26/044. The IMF's broadest measure of credit in the Chinese economy, the figure Kaiji Chen cites as roughly 315% of GDP in 2025.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe Four Pests campaign and China's Great Famine, in which Shaoda Wang traces a darker chapter of Chinese economic history, the mass eradication of sparrows during the Great Leap Forward and the millions of deaths that followed.The rise and fall of China's overseas lending, in which Sebastian Horn explains how China became the developing world's largest bilateral creditor, and why that lending boom has now gone into reverse.Related reading on VoxDev.orgThe Mandarin model of growth, on how China's system of promoting local officials for delivering growth shaped decades of investment led expansion.How China became the world's factory: Trade, industrial policy, and growth, on the trade liberalisation and industrial policy that took China from export processing to global manufacturing leader.The bubble dynamics of China's housing boom, Edward Glaeser on the construction surge behind the price rises Chen and Zha describe in this episode.

Yale researchers estimate that roughly 80 million Americans are alarmed about climate change. About 40 million of them say they want to be politically active on the issue. But only about 3 million actually are. When that 37 million-American group is asked why they aren't active, researchers most often hear that nobody has asked them. That's the focus of this week's conversation on Sustainability In Your Ear.Only 12% of Americans say they ever see anything about climate change on social media, and two-thirds say they rarely or never hear about it from friends or in the media. At the same time, the fossil fuel industry treats persuasion as core business. David Fenton calls the situation unilateral disarmament at a moment when an information war is needed. The crowning result of climate action to date is the Inflation Reduction Act that passed by one vote and was repealed by one vote. A bill you win by a single vote, he says, is a bill you never really won.David founded Fenton Communications in 1982, the first public relations firm in America built solely for progressive causes. His campaigns helped free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid, helped ban fracking in New York, where Yoko Ono's "Imagine There's No Fracking" billboard went up along Governor Andrew Cuomo's commute, and helped launch fossil fuel divestment with the heirs to the Standard Oil fortune as the messengers. His book, The Activist's Media Handbook: Lessons from Fifty Years as a Progressive Agitator, includes a foreword by cognitive linguist George Lakoff, who we discuss at length in this thought-provoking interview.He places the blame on climate advocacy spending and, more importantly, the words used to frame the issue. The climate NGO and philanthropic world spends billions a year on policy, law, and science, and spends on communication mainly to raise money from people already on its lists. David traces that to what Lakoff calls the Enlightenment fallacy, the belief that a strong idea reproduces itself because it is correct, and to its corollary, that selling ideas is dirty work beneath serious people. The second is vocabulary. “Net Zero means almost nothing to most people. “Carbon” sounds like an abstraction. And “justice,” in cognitive research, evokes images of the police and courts, not of fairness and a shared mission. We need to pivot to simpler language, like “pollution,” when describing the source of global warming. Pollution is a word nobody defends, and a blanket of pollution trapping heat that would otherwise escape into space is a picture people can easily grasp and act on.Asked how to solve climate change, the most common answer Americans give is “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” Earth911 has spent three decades on that vocabulary, and it holds up on its own terms as a materials strategy. Increased curbside recycling participation rates don't necessarily lead to decarbonizing the grid or the truck fleets. David Fenton's prescription for listeners is blunter than any campaign plan: talk about it, post about it, and press the funders you know to spend generating public demand for change rather than direct mail fundraising.Learn more about David's work at davidfentonactivist.com, and find his podcast at fentonforecast.com.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

THE HAND THAT HELD THE NATIONTwo Hundred and Fifty Years in the MakingLong before a shot was fired at Lexington, God was moving. Through revivals that awakened the colonial conscience. Through preachers who thundered that liberty is a spiritual thing. Through ordinary men and women who dared to believe that Providence had a hand in the birth of a nation.When the Revolution came, it was not random. Washington's armies survived impossibilities. Storms came at the precise moment they were needed. Bullets missed and messages were unread and timing worked with such consistency that the men of that age saw what we have learned to call coincidence, and they knew it was the hand of God.But the war was only the beginning.The Constitution was not written by political theorists alone. It was written by men who had prayed at Valley Forge and seen God preserve them through impossible odds. It was written by believers who understood that the only government that could last was one that acknowledged God as the ultimate authority—not as a trophy on the mantle, but as the foundation on which every freedom rested.They built into that Constitution something unprecedented: a nation that would be free to worship. Not free from God. Free for God.Two hundred and fifty years later, that Constitution still stands. Not because it is perfect, but because it was built on a foundation that the builders themselves understood. They knew that without God, without the moral fabric that faith provides, no republic could survive. They wrote it. They lived it. They prayed it forward.That same God is still here. Still calling. Still inviting each generation to live out what the founding generation began—a nation where faith and freedom are not enemies, but partners in the work of building something that lasts.The Summer of The Patriot is a ninety-day journey through the men and women, the battles and prayers, the decisions and sacrifices that brought us here. It is a call to remember that our freedom was purchased not just with blood, but with faith. And it is an invitation to ask yourself: What am I going to do with the freedom I have been given?Get your copy today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6K69R4XThe Summer of The Patriot: 90 Days of Faith and Freedom by Gene Kissinger is a 90-day devotional exploring faith, divine providence, and extraordinary historical moments from America's founding era.

The Shandaken Theatrical Society turns 50 this year, and its home stage — the Phoenicia Playhouse — has a history that stretches back even further. Built in 1887 as a lodge for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the building later served as an auction house and a movie theater before falling into disrepair by the 1980s. Community intervention saved it from demolition, and STS has run it ever since.This episode brings together voices spanning the organization's history: board member and longtime performer Faye Storms, who arrived in the Catskills just three years after STS was founded in 1976; playhouse manager Geneva Turner, who also works as a standardized patient and intimacy coordinator when they're not running the house; technical director George Muller, a veteran of Live Aid and the Philadelphia Orchestra before landing in Phoenicia; and Wallace Norman and Hank Neimark of Woodstock Fringe, in town for a co-production of Songs Mostly of the Theatre.Fifty years ago, STS opened with a production of The Sound of Music — and there's talk of marking the anniversary with a singalong screening of the film. Beyond that possible nod to their roots, the season has grown into a full slate of drama, comedy, open mics, a concert series with Flying Cat Music, and youth theater camps.Find out more at phoeniciaplayhouse.com

Hosts: Seth Kroeck, Holli Cederholm Common Ground Radio is an hour-long discussion of local food and organic agriculture with people here in the state of Maine and beyond. This month: For 50 years, MOFGA's Common Ground Country Fair has been a gathering place for a movement rooted in organic agriculture, food justice, environmental stewardship, and the belief that communities can build healthier futures together. One of the most visible and enduring expressions of that movement has been the Fair's posters. In this month's episode of Common Ground Radio, we're honoring this legacy with a special two-part conversation about art and agriculture, and an exhibition of all 50 Fair posters, called 50 Years of Common Ground. Join us to hear from Amy Hausmann, director of the Maine Arts Commission; Mary Weitzman, membership and development director of MOFGA; and Brenda McGuinness, the 2026 poster artist.

Americans tend to see the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War as milestones in world history that inaugurated the era of modern democracy. But the British, unsurprisingly, see these events quite differently. David Remnick talks with the historians who host the popular podcast “The Rest Is History,” Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland. Growing up in Britain, Sandbrook explains, the Revolution seemed like “a parade of quite boring men talking very earnestly about liberty, [with] battles that involved twenty people in a field somewhere. . . . It's not Waterloo!” The King was “annoyed” to lose the thirteen colonies to the new nation, but, for his government, “it could have been a lot worse.” Sandbrook and Holland discuss historical events that overshadow the American Revolution in the British mind; the 1619 Project and the subject of slavery; the “colossally consequential” Presidency of Donald Trump; and the fate of the British monarchy.Further reading :  “Was the Declaration of Independence Better Before the Edits?” by Jill Lepore.  “The American Revolution Wasn't the Main Event” by Daniel Immerwahr. “Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Complicated Commemorations" by Jelani Cobb The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Cosmic LOVE Newsletter of the Week with Metaphysician Christopher Rudy Featuring: Source Code for the r EVOLUTION: Prompting Ascension Fireworks You can find the Newsletters archived below: June 27, 2026, Source Code for the r EVOLUTION: Prompting Ascension Fireworks https://www.heartcom.org/AscentFireworks.htm Source Code for the rEVOLUTION: Cosmic Love, AI, Quantum Conscience, and the Coming Golden Age A Cosmic Love Keynote for a Fast-Changing World In this episode of Cosmic LOVE, host Dr. Christopher Rudy opens by welcoming listeners around the world and introducing the Cosmic Love song, which he says he developed with co-producer Donald Newsom at BBS Radio. The song serves as the keynote for the show, blending folk, soft rock, rap, reggae, and gospel influences around themes of love, conscious evolution, healing, unity, forgiveness, and awakening. Dr. Rudy frames cosmic love as the source energy needed for humanity's transition through a fast-changing world. Revelations, AI, and the Quantum Shift Dr. Rudy describes the present moment as a time of accelerating revelations, conscious evolution, and transition into what he calls the Aquarian quantum age. He speaks about AI as a potential catalyst for a “brilliant quickening,” capable of accelerating the Great Awakening into a Great Enlightenment. He also references the “Genesis Project,” which he says points toward rapid innovation through AI research into suppressed quantum science. In his view, AI, quantum science, and new technologies could help disclose and release suppressed knowledge, including free energy systems and advanced healing technologies. Free Energy, Disclosure, and the Breakdown of Old Institutions A major theme of the episode is the belief that free energy and other transformative technologies have long been suppressed by economic and political interests. Dr. Rudy connects this suppression to fossil fuel monopolies, corporatocracy, and what he sees as old “caterpillar” institutions that no longer serve humanity. He argues that global civilization is approaching a reboot, reset, or recalibration, in which disclosure, free energy, holistic healing, and higher consciousness could help restore Earth into a more unified and harmonious field of life. Fifty Years of Visionary Communications Work Dr. Rudy reflects on his work dating back to the 1970s, including his involvement with futurist gatherings connected to Barbara Marx Hubbard, the World Future Society, and Buckminster Fuller's World Game. He recalls presenting ideas to federal agencies on Capitol Hill about communications technology, public access media, satellite links, cable television, and interactive public discourse. He explains that, even then, he saw communication problems at the root of social, political, and economic problems, and envisioned upgraded forms of speech, assembly, and petition as essential to restoring representative government and collective conscience. The Heartware Universal Interface and Collective Conscience The episode spends significant time on Dr. Rudy's concept of a Heartware Universal Interface, a communications model meant to help people respond, evaluate, and co-create through a unified field of consciousness. He describes a three-dimensional response system connected to upper and lower brain, left and right brain, and forebrain and rear brain, creating a “dot in the cube” that could visualize collective response in real time. For Dr. Rudy, such an interface could help recycle general knowledge into specific wisdom, cultivate social conscience, and support the emergence of what he calls collective Christ-like consciousness. Cosmic Weather and the Full Moon in Capricorn Dr. Rudy then offers a “cosmic weather report,” focusing on the approaching full moon in Capricorn and the astrological energies around late June and early July. He discusses the moon in Capricorn opposite the sun in Cancer, Neptune and Saturn in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus and Mars in Gemini, Jupiter, and other planetary relationships. He interprets these patterns as indicators of major transformation spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, politically, and collectively. He suggests that the July 4th period may bring especially dramatic “fireworks” connected to global power shifts, AI, quantum leaps, and energetic change. Prompting Ascension Fireworks and the rEVOLUTION of Consciousness The episode closes by returning to Dr. Rudy's article and newsletter theme: “Source Code for the rEVOLUTION,” emphasizing that most of the word “revolution” is “evolution.” He describes humanity as being in a cocoon stage between caterpillar consciousness and butterfly consciousness, where old systems are disintegrating while imaginal cells of a golden age begin to organize. He urges listeners to prompt reality through love, truth, higher consciousness, and “God geometries,” ending with encouragement to keep the faith, see the good, make it so, dance freely, love courageously, and become the change they want to see.

Another 100% True Story in the Rick Flynn Presents "Ongoing Strong Women" series of our amazing podcast heard worldwide, as are the actual jet airplanes flown by our decorated international combat pilot guest on this week's show, EILEEN ISOLA, who is the lead editor of this amazing book available wherever books are sold.For fifty years, an extraordinary story has been hiding in plain sight.Necessary Turbulence is a collective narrative of women who came of age inside systems that were not built for them and learned, in real time, how to live, lead, and redefine themselves anyway. In 1976, 157 young women marched beneath the words "Bring Me Men" at the top of a ramp leading into a world that had never imagined them. They, and the more than 12,000 who followed, faced a contentious culture, inadequate facilities, and a system designed to break them. Told they were destroying standards and would never graduate, more than 7,000 women proved them wrong.Drawn from 108 voices across five decades, this narrative traces what it meant to begin without a roadmap: to enter environments where expectations were unclear, belonging was not guaranteed, and the cost of getting it wrong was high. It chronicles women learning to navigate pressure, claim authority, and build lives of consequence.This landmark work captures their arc from uncertainty to self-trust, from isolation to connection, and from endurance to choice. These are not distant or exceptional experiences. They are recognizable: moments of doubt, recalibration, courage, and growth that shape who they became. Across careers and decades, these women carried forward what they forged into their work, relationships, and lives.This is a story about how identity is built under pressure. About what it takes to belong when belonging isn't offered. About the quiet, cumulative ways women reshape the spaces they move through-and themselves in the process.Necessary Turbulence recounts what this sisterhood learned to hold-and what they made possible for all women because of their shared beginning in the crucible of the Air Force Academy.www.NecessaryTurbulence.com

Samuel Bateman is incarcerated in a federal facility serving a fifty-year sentence. He maintains regular telephone contact with followers. A meaningful number of the women and girls removed from his FLDS offshoot — including individuals Christine Marie personally helped extract — have reportedly returned to his sphere of influence. Adult wives continue to identify him as their prophet. The conviction and sentence have not disrupted his operational control over the belief system he constructed.The pattern has direct precedent. Warren Jeffs has maintained influence over FLDS members from a Texas prison cell for over a decade. Bateman is replicating the same dynamic with the same psychological infrastructure — what Christine Marie characterizes as an "IV of indoctrination" delivered through regular telephone contact.Christine Marie addresses what she has learned about the content of Bateman's prison communications with followers. She identifies the division between women who have permanently separated from the group and those who have returned — and the social consequences for those who left, including potential reclassification as fallen or as enemies of the faith. She confronts the clinical and moral question she returns to repeatedly: whether some adults who have been conditioned within high-control religious environments from birth can be reached through intervention, or whether some individuals are functionally unable to construct identity outside coercive structures.Short Creek remains structurally intact. The theology, the isolation mechanisms, and the obedience hierarchy that produced both Jeffs and Bateman continue to operate. Robin Dreeke and Shavaun Scott examine why the FLDS persists when comparable organizations — NXIVM, Peoples Temple — collapsed following their leaders' removal. They address Faith Bistline's circumstances — having lost her family to Bateman and now raising the children affected by his conduct. They evaluate what intervention methods demonstrate efficacy with children in high-control religious environments and the competing harms of removal versus continued exposure. Both experts address directly whether the conditions at Short Creek are likely to produce another leader operating on the same model — or whether the community possesses the capacity to interrupt the cycle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“As long as democracy is a collective endeavour of all the people who belong to it, in some sense it can never be finished — because we are constantly bequeathing to the next generation the opportunity and the freedom to have these conversations over and over again.” — Alexandra Natapoff It's less than six weeks until America's 250th birthday. The official America 250 store is selling T-shirts while Harvard Law School is doing something slightly less commercial. 62 HLS professors have written 1,000-word essays, assembled into a single volume to be published on July 4. Entitled America Unfinished: Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Law and Governance, it's co-edited by Alexandra Natapoff, a Harvard Law professor who spent years as a federal public defender in Baltimore. The title, of course, is borrowed from the Gettysburg Address, where Lincoln charged the living with completing “the unfinished work” of those who died in the Civil War. So is America unfinished or is it just getting started? For Natapoff and other Harvard Law School professors like this year's Pulitzer Prize-winning Jill Lepore, the answer is suitably complex. Yes and no and maybe. Everything all at once. The essays focus on 250 years of both justice and injustice in America. Perhaps the only thing all authors agree on is the central role of capitalism in the history of the United States. Follow the money, Natapoff suggests. Those dollars will transport the reader to the heart of the American story. That said, America Unfinished will certainly cost you less than a three-year Harvard Law degree. And if you wait six months, the book will be available at no cost online. So follow the money. It will take you to some unexpectedly free places. Five Takeaways •       The Gettysburg Address as the Title's Source: The book does not merely allude to Lincoln's famous speech — it reproduces it at the front, so readers can go back to the original. In the Address, Lincoln charged the living with completing “the unfinished work” of those who died at Gettysburg — the work of building a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Natapoff and Charles chose this frame because it captures both the challenge and the hope: democracy is unfinished in the sense that it demands active work from every generation. It is not a gift that has been fully delivered. It is a task being handed on. •       America and Democracy Are Not the Same Thing: Andrew's challenge — you use the words interchangeably — earns a concession. Natapoff's work in criminal justice has led her to argue repeatedly that the American criminal system fails many tests of democracy: it is exclusive, inegalitarian, overly coercive, inconsistent with democratic principles. So ‘America' and ‘democracy' are not synonyms in the book. Many of the 62 essays disagree about the state of various pieces of governance. The book's inquiry is whether it is fair to call any particular piece of American legal governance a democracy — which both editors consider a compliment, and not a certainty. •       A Federal Public Defender in Baltimore: The Biography Behind the Scholarship: Before she became a law professor, Natapoff was a federal public defender in Baltimore's federal courts. Her job was to be adverse to the federal government all day every day, defending some of the most vulnerable and dispossessed people in the city against the massive resources and power of the federal apparatus. Those years shaped everything: her subsequent twenty years of scholarship on criminal courts, plea bargaining, misdemeanors, and race and inequality; her book Punishment Without Crime; and her contribution to America Unfinished. In her reading, the experience of her clients — people facing off against the federal government — is now more widely shared than it used to be. •       It's the Money, Not the Lawyers: Dan Wang's recent book Breakneck contrasts China, run by engineers, and America, run by lawyers. Natapoff's counter, via the book's economic governance essays: it's much more complicated than that. Six very different scholars who disagree about almost everything converge on a perhaps surprising answer: it's the money. Financial interests, corporate interests, the ownership class — in one way or another, they've been running America. The lawyers helped. They were part of the management scheme. But they weren't making the decisions. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. •       Molly Brady's Essay: Property Law and the Destruction of Community: Asked to pick her favourite essay without starting a fight with 61 colleagues, Natapoff flags the very last one: Professor Maureen “Molly” Brady on property law. Brady argues that property law has permitted suburban sprawl and the destruction of physical community — the kind of infrastructure that makes analog life (libraries, neighbours, public space) possible — while being profligate in its support for social media and the dispersed, thinner version of community. She exhorts us to remember how law has contributed positively to communities we are proud of, and to stand up for that vision. For Natapoff, it captures both the critical nature of this moment and why lawyering still holds out some important promise. About the Guest Alexandra Natapoff is the Lee S. Kreindler Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, and a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Law School. She began her legal career as a federal public defender in Baltimore.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Lawson — a legendary guide, fly tyer, educator, and one of the founding forces behind Henry's Fork Anglers. What began in the early 1970s as a young schoolteacher tying flies at the kitchen table with his wife Sheralee eventually grew into one of the most iconic fly fishing businesses in the world. Mike shares the story of building Henry's Fork Anglers from the ground up — the lean early years, the friendships and mentors that shaped him, the explosion of fly fishing after A River Runs Through It, and the deep family roots behind a business that has now spanned nearly fifty years. We talk about guiding, fly tying, loyalty, legacy, and what it really means to dedicate your life to rivers, people, and the craft of fly fishing. This conversation is thoughtful, nostalgic, and full of hard-earned wisdom from someone who helped shape modern fly fishing as we know it. You may have noticed me wearing Skwala fishing apparel for the past year or so, and I gotta say, I've been really impressed with everything I've tried. I love the way they design gear. They manage to strike a perfect balance between durable and functional but also comfortable and mobile. I stay warm and dry, but never feel cramped or restricted when I'm wading, casting, or rowing. I've enjoyed fishing in their apparel so much, I recently joined their team as an ambassador. We've even been working together on ways to translate their expertise with technical fly fishing apparel into gear that's specifically designed for women, and I'm really excited about the progress we've made.

SHOW INTRO: Welcome to Episode 88! of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast and my conversation with Simon Ong the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore.. *                            *                                  *                                  * As we come to a different phase of our professional life you get to thinking back over the years that you invested in growing something that it was hard but it was also fun it was challenging and it was sometimes desperate sometimes you felt elation sometimes you worried about how we're going to pay the next bill there's a cycle of experience in 50 years of growing a company like that is worth reflecting on and saying ‘you know we have had big wins and we've made mistakes we've learned a lot about ourselves and how to grow a business - how to remain relevant. I think the relevancy issue means having a sense of empathy tapping into the zeitgeist around you and saying i need to relate to that because if i don't I'll become irrelevant and i can't i can't communicate The challenge is put to new leaders and old to listen, be introspective, be flexible to adjust to the sometimes overwhelming sea of change between now and next.  You hopefully get better at saying both been there done that and been there not doing that anymore period. When early in my retail design career I had, I guess I would call her a mentor, Jackie Glanz the president of a store fixture manufacturing company called MG Concepts and I recall her drilling into me some core lessons about business and marketing, namely  respond to the e-mail or phone call - immediately don't wait because everybody's time is valuable not just yours and it's a sign of respect of the other individual to get back to them right away never burn a bridge especially in the context of a retail community that once you reach a certain level everybody knows everybody else and word travels fast. Maintain your industry friendships even when they are halfway around the world. Because you just never know when you're going to come into a situation where reaching out will make the difference between growth and stagnation, or success and failure or a door opening up or door being closed. It could be with some of those relationships that you never actually do business with them with the mutual support and the benefit of connection extends beyond a project or profit in the physical sense but sometimes is more valuable in a sense of community already perhaps spiritual way the people along your path make a difference. I have often shared with people that I certainly like working on projects but in the end it's relationships that I value most. I'm sure all of us have worked on what we would presume to be great projects but the relationship chemistry just didn't work and it made what was presumed to be wonderful more woeful.  And the reverse… where projects were of average scope or prestige and ended up being prized because of the people there was a sense of community, a shared responsibility, a willingness to extend beyond what was asked for and to bring something new to the world even though it wouldn't end up winning a prize in design competition or being on the cover of a trade publication. You stayed doing one thing long enough and you actively engage in the community of your profession working with other leaders to define ideas or policies or grow an emerging cohort of young designers and architects into roles you also begin to have in a certain sense your own brand which is very much about what you believe in not necessarily what the things you bring into the world look like and certainly not a logo. Beyond the image is the intention, the ideological orientations that drive what you do every day that ultimately give meaning to the things that you focus your time on and that you hope other people align with.  Having a point of view that drives your decision-making matters.  And for the individual, as well as large international mega brands, it is important that what you do and what you say are aligned. When these two things are at odds, it's not hard to see the disconnect, and trust and credibility are critical foundational elements to long term relationships Whether those relationships are personal between you and your work colleagues or between you and your clients. In a crowded marketplace where many professional firms offer the same services and you might say are equally as good at providing them what is the differentiating factor between a client choosing you over the next guy? Sometimes, it's simply a feeling a feeling about how the relationship might progress through the phases of a project is the best way to know if the project will be successful... And this is where we bring in my guest on this episode Simon Ong… Simon Ong is the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore He oversees the strategic planning and development, as well as the creative and brand standards, of Kingsmen, a leading communication design and production group with 18 offices spanning the Asia Pacific region and North America.   After 50 years in the experience design industry, Simon is still actively engaging and is currently an honorary advisor to the Society of Interior Designers Singapore and a member of Singapore Interior Design Accreditation Council.  He served as the Chairman of the design sector of Singapore Workforce Development Agency, and a board member of SHOP!, a leading Association of Retail Environments in USA.  In 2019, he was inducted into the SHOP!

The two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence arrives during intense disputes about American history, as the Trump Administration demands a more glorifying view of the nation's past at federally run historical sites and in federally funded projects. The staff writer Jill Lepore (who won the Pulitzer Prize in History this month for her book “We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution”) guest-hosts a special episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour about this fraught moment, reflecting on the responsibility of academic historians to shape the public debate. She compares our moment with the bicentennial—which fell in the wake of the Vietnam War and the scandals of Richard Nixon's Presidency—in a conversation with the Yale historian Beverly Gage. Lepore looks at the nature of the country's war over history with Jelani Cobb, the dean of Columbia Journalism School and a staff writer at The New Yorker. They discuss the Donald Trump-approved “Freedom 250” projection on the Washington Monument, and talk about how Americans can meaningfully participate in the semiquincentennial. If “we're sitting around waiting for the occupant of the White House to tell us what American history means,” Lepore says, “you just kind of want to walk into traffic.” Further reading:  America at 250, a special issue of The New Yorker “Was the Declaration of Independence Better Before the Edits?,” by Jill Lepore “Scandal, Protest, Goofiness, and Grandeur at the U.S. Bicentennial,” by Jill Lepore “Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Complicated Commemorations,” by Jelani Cobb “This Land Is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History,” by Beverly Gage See the Washington Roundtable live at 92NY on June 4th.The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Donald Trump and the US Navy just put the 'N' in the BBGN — Battleship, Guided Missile, NUCLEAR. As Steve Green points out, what's the use of having a warship defended by sharks with firkin' LASER BEAMS in their heads if it can't sail round the world un-refueled for FIFTY YEARS?

“Fifty Years in the Ministry — Lessons from a Lifetime of Service” What does fifty years of ministry teach a person? In this deeply personal and reflective episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik is joined by longtime pastors Darris McNeely and Robin Webber for an honest conversation about the joys, struggles, lessons, and enduring purpose found in a lifetime of serving God and people. Together, these three ministers represent more than 150 years of combined pastoral experience. They discuss what first inspired them to enter the ministry, the mentors who shaped them, and the moments that confirmed their calling along the way. The conversation explores both the highs and lows of ministry life—memorable baptisms, Feast experiences, counseling moments, friendships, heartbreaks, disappointments, and seasons of deep personal testing. The discussion also turns toward how ministry has changed over the decades and the unique pressures faced by leaders today. Listeners will hear thoughtful reflections on humility, grace, perseverance, emotional intelligence, leadership, and the importance of compassion in serving others. Darris shares insights from years in media and education through Beyond Today and Ambassador Bible College, while Robin reflects on decades of pastoral counseling and personal connection with congregations. Victor guides the discussion with warmth, perspective, and heartfelt honesty. This episode is not simply a look backward. It is a conversation about endurance, spiritual growth, and the lessons that only time and service can teach. Whether you are involved in ministry, leadership, or simply seeking encouragement for your own spiritual journey, this discussion offers wisdom, perspective, and hope. In This Episode: What first inspired each man to enter the ministry The greatest joys and most difficult seasons of pastoral service Lessons learned after fifty years How ministry and leadership have changed over time Advice for younger pastors and leaders What truly matters most in the end

The über-rich have enjoyed a remarkable degree of sway in Donald Trump's Washington—but they may now be facing a backlash. The Washington Roundtable traces the signs of invigorated “pitchfork politics,” such as Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax in New York, a wealth tax on the ballot in California, and recent protests against the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's involvement in the Met Gala—and what these efforts reveal about the cultural and political limits of oligarchy. The panel is joined by Brooke Harrington, a Dartmouth professor of economic sociology who trained as a wealth manager to embed inside the world of the super-rich. Together they examine whether the “broligarchs” have overplayed their hand, what history tells us about when élites lose their grip on power, and whether the left or the right is better positioned to harness growing inequality and anger as a political weapon heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond.This week's reading: “All the President's Contractors,” by Antonia Hitchens “Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Complicated Commemoration,” by Jelani Cobb “For Putin, Problems (and Paranoia) Keep Mounting,” by Joshua Yaffa “The Pope's First Anniversary Is Marked by More Sparring from the White House,” by Paul Elie “Barack Obama Considers His Role in the Age of Trump,” by Peter Slevin “How the Iran War Is Shifting Power Toward China,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The A.I.

Samuel Bateman is serving fifty years. His follower Ladell Bistline Jr. got life after giving six of his underage daughters to Bateman and participating in their abuse. Torrance Bistline, the financial engine behind the operation, got thirty-five years. Seven of Bateman's adult wives were convicted. In total, all eleven co-defendants in this case have been held accountable — making it one of the most thorough federal prosecutions of cult-based child trafficking in recent history.But accountability and resolution are different things. This final episode examines what justice looks like when it can't undo the damage. The defense called Bateman "mentally ill" and "delusional," the product of an upbringing that normalized the criminal. The prosecution countered that Bateman and his followers built their own ideology to serve their own interests. The judge sentenced him to what amounts to a life sentence and called him the worst kind of abuser.Meanwhile, Faith Bistline — who escaped the FLDS and spent years fighting to expose Bateman — is now caring for the children her own brothers helped destroy. Parents of victimized girls attended court hearings to support Bateman, not their daughters. And the conditions that produced both Warren Jeffs and Samuel Bateman remain structurally intact in Short Creek, where thousands of FLDS members still live under the One Man Rule theology.The hopeful counterweight: the Short Creek Dream Center, built inside Jeffs' former compound, serves as a refuge for people leaving. Survivors are rebuilding. The rescued girls are in school, driving, reclaiming their lives. One of them stood in a courtroom and told Bateman she never needed him. That's the sound of someone breaking free from a system built to make escape impossible. The question is how many others are still waiting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
