In this Christmas-season episode of Words of Grace, we consider one of the earliest and most beautiful promises of Christ found in the Old Testament. From Jacob's prophetic words in Genesis 49, we're introduced to the mysterious name Shiloh—the One to whom the gathering of the people would be, long understood as a promise of … Continue reading "Who Exactly is Shiloh?"

Send us a text#076.  What does it really mean to build generational wealth — and how do you pass it on without losing your kids in the process?  In this episode, I sit down with Mike McCarthy — serial entrepreneur, co-founder of GoBundance, former leader in the growth of Keller Williams, and author of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families. Mike has helped scale businesses doing billions in sales, but what sets him apart is how intentionally he applies leadership, discipline, and values inside his own home.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea: give kids the flint, not the fire. Instead of simply handing down money or opportunity, Mike explains why parents must focus on preparing the heir — teaching responsibility, stewardship, and self-mastery — long before wealth ever changes hands.We also explore one of the most important parenting principles you'll hear: connection before correction.  Especially with adolescents, Mike shares why maintaining trust, presence, and relationship is the foundation that makes guidance, discipline, and financial lessons actually stick.This episode is filled with practical frameworks parents can implement immediately, including:How to teach financial responsibility through skin in the game, not handoutsWhy you need to prioritize connection before correctionWhy preparing heirs matters more than preparing estatesA weekly family meeting that becomes the operating system for your homeA simple daily routine — CHARMS — to help kids build discipline, confidence, and self-masteryHow to raise money-smart kids without entitlement, control, or burnoutThis is a conversation for parents, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want their success to strengthen their family — not come at its expense.If you're focused on raising grounded, capable kids and building a legacy that goes far beyond money, this episode with Mike McCarthy is a must-listen.Show notes and more at:https://moneydadpodcast.com/session076Support the show

If there's no data gathering or research, can there be climate change? The Big Tech Billionaire Bros keep pushing more data centers in Michigan, but the working class is resisting. However, the state's utility monopolies are pushing hard to the the state to green-light these centers. Getting rid of climate change research, pushing for data centers, and a possible war in Venezuela is all connected. It's corporate and government corruption joining forces to leave the working class struggling.  16:23-29:15: MAGA Michigan Guts Working Class Spending MAGA Michigan Republicans in the state House blocked already-approved funding for various work projects throughout the state, and other crucial spending projects to help working class Michiganders.

Annunciation ~Marie Howe Even if I don't see it again - nor ever feel it I know it is and that if once it hailed me it ever does - And so it is myself I want to turn in that direction not as towards a place, but it was a tilting within myself, as one turns a mirror to flash the light where it isn't - I was blinded like that - and swam in what shone at me only able to endure it by being no one and so specifically myself I thought I'd die from being loved like that. Gabriel's Annunciation ~ Jan Richardson For a moment I hesitated on the threshold. For the space of a breath I paused, unwilling to disturb her last ordinary moment, knowing that the next step would cleave her life: that this day would slice her story in two, dividing all the days before from all the ones to come. The artists would later depict the scene: Mary dazzled by the archangel, her head bowed in humble assent, awed by the messenger who condescended to leave paradise to bestow such an honor upon a woman, and mortal. Yet I tell you it was I who was dazzled, I who found myself agape when I came upon her— reading, at the loom, in the kitchen, I cannot now recall; only that the woman before me— blessed and full of grace long before I called her so— shimmered with how completely she inhabited herself, inhabited the space around her, inhabited the moment that hung between us. I wanted to save her from what I had been sent to say. Yet when the time came, when I had stammered the invitation (history would not record the sweat on my brow, the pounding of my heart; would not note that I said Do not be afraid to myself as much as to her) it was she who saved me— her first deliverance— her Let it be not just declaration to the Divine but a word of solace, of soothing, of benediction for the angel in the doorway who would hesitate one last time— just for the space of a breath torn from his chest— before wrenching himself away from her radiant consent, her beautiful and awful yes.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett takes us to Genesis 1–3 to consider the earliest proclamation of the gospel and God's promise of redemption.

The Age of Anxiety: Political Media, Dementia, and the Boomer FearIn Michigan living rooms—from Flint to Saginaw to small towns up north—older Americans watch political news that feels less like reporting and more like a public trial of aging itself. Every stumble, verbal slip, or moment of confusion by national leaders is clipped, replayed, and mocked. For older viewers, this coverage is not abstract or partisan. It is personal.This investigative audio essay examines how constant media focus on age and cognition quietly harms older adults, especially in aging, post-industrial communities. Drawing on research in psychology, aging, and media studies, it explores fear of dementia, stigma, loneliness, and how political spectacle fuels anxiety, withdrawal, and disengagement from democracy.As Michigan approaches critical elections, this episode asks a deeper question: What happens to a democracy when aging itself is treated as entertainment—and dignity is the cost? #TheAgeOfAnxiety #InvestigativeAudio #AgingInAmerica #MediaAndDemocracy #MichiganPolitics #BoomerGeneration #CognitiveHealth #PublicWellBeing We would like to hear from you!

On this svelte-yet-festive episode, hosts Ashleigh and Flint give some details about some surprisingly positive news stories, some that you may have missed and some that you absolutely definitely have heard about, including: An update on the NDAA bill in the USA. New protections for intersex people in Victoria, Australia. The Girlguides and the Women's Institute both saying they'd bar trans women, only for a lot of their members to rebel against it. A quick update from the EHRC now that Falkner has finally, finally left.  A triple-threat Loser's Corner, including a particular Scottish nurse... And a visit from Father Transmasc, for a decidedly festive section about the nice list, and the naughty list! References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep146 Thumbail photo credit: Chatham House

In 1937, a 23-year-old Flint woman stood between General Motors security, Flint police gunfire, and the workers fighting for their lives inside Fisher Body. Her name was Genora Johnson Dollinger — and she did more than rally the Women's Emergency Brigade. She dodged bullets for the UAW and helped spark a labor uprising that reshaped the American middle class.This episode begins with a cinematic reenactment of the Flint Sit-Down Strike and Genora's electrifying moment on the picket line. From her kitchen-table organizing to the chaos outside the plants, Genora's bravery becomes the doorway into a deeper story about labor, power, and the long shadow cast over America's auto industry.We would like to hear from you!

MAGA Michigan Republicans, led by state House Speaker Matt Hall and House Appropriations Chair Ann Bolin, cancelled $644 million dollars in already-approved funding for work projects throughout the state. That money also included money for the successful Rx Kids programs in Flint and elsewhere around the state for young, struggling families. It also includes cuts in mental health services, veterans' services, and clean energy jobs. AND, it eliminates money that would fund a charter school accountability database.  MAGA Republicans did this without any hearings or debate.  They don't believe in the working class. They believe in the corporate donor class.

In this week's podcast, we sit down with Drs. Sarguni Singh, Christian Furman, and Lynn Flint, three authors of the recent Journal of the American Geriatrics Society article, "Rehab and Death: Improving End-of-Life Care for Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility Beneficiaries."  The authors dive into the challenges facing seriously ill older adults discharged to Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), where fragmented care transitions, misaligned Medicare policies, and inadequate access to palliative care often result in burdensome hospitalizations and goal-discordant care.  The discussion highlights key barriers in Medicare's SNF and hospice benefits, including the inability to access concurrent hospice and SNF care, and explores solutions to improve care. Among the recommendations is leveraging Medicare's Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) to reimburse SNFs for providing palliative care, commissioning a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on SNF utilization at the end of life, and piloting a model that allows time-limited concurrent hospice and rehabilitation care.  Also, check out these two resources if you want a deeper dive: Our past podcast we did, now nearly 6 years ago, on the original NEJM paper, Rehabbed to Death.

In Part 2 of his annual Holiday Gift Guide, Dennis talks to creative entrepreneurs Scott Willams and Cam Clarke. Scott discovered a passion for ceramics during the pandemic and has since launched a side business called SEW Ceramics, based in Cambria, California. His Strata line of clay lamps are his most popular items to date. Each is one-of-a-kind because, as Scott quips, "I couldn't duplicate them if I tried." Scott talks about how getting his hands dirty has served as an escape from the stresses of modern life, the crafty grandmother who inspired his artistic side and how he comes up with cool names for his lamps, like Astra, Flint and Lumen. https://www.sewceramics.com/ Next up is Cam Clarke, the man behind the gorgeous new coffee table book Now They're All Here about The King Family of entertainers, which Cam is a member of. Cam reveals the slightly petty reason he took on the project, the discoveries he made along the way and what having the family's life and career documented in this way has meant to his relatives. He also talks about his career as a performer and voice-over artist (he was the OG voice of Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!) and recalls the moment when he was 6 years-old and demonstrated a flair for the fabulous on live TV. https://camclarke.com/

Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily. This episode is one of the most profoundly inspiring and uplifting ones we've ever offered and serves as the perfect way to close out the year with you, our good listeners, reminding you that there IS still good out there, lots of it, and you - YES YOU - can find and be that good yourself. _________________________________ GOOD HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Steve's third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON'S SLAYINGS lights up the holidays!

Another major shake up is coming to the streaming sphere as Netflix agrees to acquire Warner Bros Studios. The $125B acquisition includes HBO Max - giving them the rights to shows like Game of Thrones, Succession, and Euphoria. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has said theatrical releases will become more limited, as Netflix sees them as not 'consumer friendly'. Wall Street Journal media and entertainment reporter Joe Flint told Heather du Plessis Allan, "generally Wall Street and Hollywood already felt Netflix was the king. So yes, if this goes through, not only are they the king, but they've probably extended their reign by 100 years or so." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GuestAdam Mizel Co-Founder & CEO US UnitedWebsitehttps://www.us-united.org/About US UnitedUS United is a not-for-profit media collective building unity through storytelling, service, and human connection. Co-founded by business leader Adam Mizel and Sheriff Chris Swanson, the organization works to prove that Americans share common values and can bridge divides through community engagement. Programs include the Sheriff Unity Network, Holiday Giving Spectacular, and monthly 30 For US unity conversations. To take the Unity Pledge, visit us-united.org. Adam Mizel Bio: Adam Mizel's journey from Wall Street to corporate leader to building a grassroots unity movement wasn't exactly planned. After a successful 30-year business career, from Morgan Stanley, to launching private equity firms and hedge funds, to starting and running public and private companies, he found himself screaming at the news during the chaotic days of May 2020. George Floyd had been murdered, the country was in the midst of a pandemic, politicians and pundits amped up the rhetoric and many of us felt that the fabric of the country was ripping apart. At that moment, his wife Taunya delivered the wake-up call: "No one's hearing you if you scream at the TV." That insight sparked his biggest epiphany yet—instead of just making another donation, Adam was going to DO SOMETHING about America's divisions. He did not have a more developed concept than that, but as a serial entrepreneur, Adam was confident he would figure it out. What happened next surprised even him. Doors started opening in ways they never had during his business career. Through a social justice task force formed with CMO leadership organization PTTOW, he met Ken Nwadike, Jr. (the "Free Hugs Guy"), who in turn introduced him to Sheriff Chris Swanson of Flint, Michigan. Chris made global headlines when 3.2 billion people watched as he and his officers took off their riot gear and marched arm-in-arm with George Floyd protesters on May 30, 2020. Flint was one of the few American cities that did not burn that night. Their instant connection led to the co-founding of US United in 2021 and together they have grown it into a movement for unity that is proving that Americans aren't as divided as politicians and media want us to believe.Today, US United has built a network of close to 100 sheriffs committed to bringing unity into their communities. They have reached thousands of families across the country through giving events like the Holiday Spectacular, broken people out of their bubbles with a unity pledge and national online conversations called 30 For US, and just completed a summer cross-country road trip documenting real stories of unity happening at the grassroots level. Adam went from yelling at his TV to building a movement that's challenging the narrative about American division by empowering Americans with the tools they need to reunite our country – and inspiring others along the way. One voice is loud, millions are a movement.

Each district served the worshipers of a different deity, all radiating outward from the enormous Great Temple of the Stars, which contained cathedrals for all twenty-one major gods. Before Istar's rise, every devout worshiper in Ansalon dreamed of making the pilgrimage here at least once. Each district was self-contained—with its own inns, temples, shops, and residences. But access was tightly controlled: one gate in the outer wall, and passage between districts only through the Great Temple—and only with approval from its high priest, the Worshipful Master of the Stars. Yet not every deity maintained a district. The gods of Nature—Habbakuk, Chislev, and Zeboim—kept their holy sites elsewhere, far from the city's walls. The gods of Magic likewise had no temples here, for every journey to a Tower of High Sorcery was a pilgrimage of its own. The second reference was Godshome Vale. Hidden deep in the Khalkists, this secret valley was the true holy site. Only those chosen by the gods—and approved by priests in the city—could find the trail leading to it. Even then, the path would twist back into the foothills unless the gods allowed the pilgrim to pass. For the worthy, the gods themselves administered tests—tests of devotion, character, and divine purpose. Many died attempting them. But those who survived emerged in a bowl-shaped valley surrounded entirely by sheer cliff walls. At its center stood twenty-one colossal stones representing the gods, encircling a perfect disc of polished black stone that reflected the sky, constellations, and moons of Krynn—regardless of the time of day. This was the place where the gods revealed themselves. As Istar's Kingpriests grew in ambition, they sought to centralize all worship in their gleaming capital. They taxed the pilgrim roads to Godshome, let banditry flourish, and built temples meant to overshadow the Great Temple of the Stars. In the final century before the Cataclysm, the propaganda campaign succeeded. Many now viewed Godshome as corrupt, fraudulent, or blasphemous—though it was Istar's own meddling that created this perception. Finally, the Kingpriest ordered the legions of Istar to march on the city. For nearly twenty years, the priests and holy warriors of Godshome held out, uniting across pantheons in a desperate defense of their sacred home. And then—one night—they vanished. Every one of them. Without a trace. Istar's armies entered the silent city at dawn. Hours later… the Cataclysm struck. A fiery mountain struck Ansalon causing tidal waves and massive earthquakes. The city collapsed, thousands of soldiers died, and only a handful survived to speak of what became of Godshome. Since that day, the city has remained a haunted ruin. Ghostly soldiers wander the shattered districts, eternally searching for their vanished priests. Adventurers report treasures scattered through the rubble—but none of the great sacred artifacts have ever been recovered. While the city lay in ruin, the true Godshome, the vale hidden in the mountains, remained a place of divine power. When the Heroes of the Lance journeyed toward Neraka, the befuddled wizard Fizban led them through the Khalkists, where supernatural wonders lurked: ancient bridges of vallenwood, miraculous golden spans of magic, and yes—entrances to the legendary Glitterpalace, the fabled home of Paladine. Within its crystal-walled halls were the three great divine tests: first, The Test of Wisdom, in the heart of a volcano, second was The Test of Valor, in the ghostly remains of Vingaard Keep, and third was The Test of the Heart, on a moorland plateau overlooking Kalaman. Each test revealed merely a possible path to defeating Takhisis—not the path they would ultimately walk. Whether or not the Companions took that road, they eventually reached Godshome Vale. And here they witnessed revelation. The polished black stone reflected the sky, moons, and constellations… including those normally invisible, like Nuitari. All except the constellations of Paladine and Takhisis, which were absent. As the party reached the center, the truth was revealed: Fizban vanished, and the constellation of Paladine appeared. The god stood among them. And here, Flint Fireforge's journey ended. Flint died in Godshome Vale and Paladine escorted him personally into the afterlife. Godshome is woven into some of Krynn's greatest myths: Huma Dragonbane once brought the first Dragonlance here to be blessed with the divine power needed to oppose Takhisis. Many Solamnic traditions record Godshome as a place of hope, prophecy, and revelation in dark times. In the Age of Despair, it stood as a solitary note of divine presence when the gods were thought gone forever. And in every age, explorers whispered of a hidden entrance to Glitterpalace somewhere within Godshome itself—a shifting doorway that appears only to the favored of Paladine. After the Chaos War, everything changed. The gods departed. And Godshome Vale… broke. The evergreen forests blackened. The moss turned to ash. The sacred stones vanished. The polished black disc cracked like broken glass. And yet—the surface still reflects a distorted image of the new moon that rose after the gods' departure. It is a place of memory, of echoes, of a severed connection between Krynn and the divine. It is also a place of sorrow. When Jasper Fireforge and Iryl Songbrook sought evidence of the gods' return, Godshome nearly broke Jasper's spirit. In the shattered valley they confronted grief—and a doomed Knight of the Skull who sought to restore Takhisis through honorable combat. No blessing came. No voice whispered from the heavens. The gods remained silent. Godshome had become a grave. Today, whether in the Age of Mortals or after the gods’ eventual return, Godshome remains one of the most sacred and enigmatic places on Krynn: A valley of divine reflection, A site of revelation and death, A place where mortals saw the gods face-to-face, The threshold of Paladine's Glitterpalace, And a ruin haunted by both spirits and memory. Few find it. Fewer survive it. But all who stand in Godshome stand in the shadow of the gods themselves. Outro And that is all I have to say about Godshome. What do you think of this home of the gods? Have you ever included it in your home campaigns? And finally, do you think it still holds power after the War of Souls? Leave a comment below.

LONDON CALLING! John watches 'Predator: Badlands' and has his Christmas table sorted out. Flint saw some Coatis at the Arboretum. Rossy isn't here because he's busy picking up Christmas Poohtatoes! All this and the Prog Review!

In this week's Words of Grace broadcast, Pastor Ben Winslett considers a deeply comforting truth from Scripture: we are not only children of God, but Jesus actually calls us His brothers and sisters. Drawing from parallel accounts in Luke 8 and Matthew 12, we explore the amazing and perhaps shocking assertion of Jesus that those … Continue reading "The Brothers and Sisters of Christ"

In this episode of Front Porch Chats, host Natalie Bradley is joined by a few Flint Energies' leaders, Jeremy Nelms (President/CEO), Marian McLemore (VP of Cooperative Communications), Rogie Roberson (VP of Member Solutions), and Blair Brown (Youth & Education Specialist). They discuss what makes electric membership cooperatives (EMCs) truly unique, focusing on the seven cooperative principles. Titled “The Cooperative Difference: Powering Community First,” this conversation goes beyond electricity—it's about people, purpose, and partnerships.Listeners will learn how co-ops like Flint Energies are member-owned, not-for-profit utilities that prioritize people over profits. From capital credit refunds to investments in infrastructure—like Flint's new service center paid for without raising member bills—Flint's commitment to affordability and reliability is evident.The conversation also highlights Flint's impact in the community: youth leadership programs, scholarships and teacher grants, education programs in local schools, economic development through rural murals and grants, and mutual aid during storms. The team shares powerful stories—like how employee-funded initiatives such as Linemen for Little Ones bring joy to families in need, and how former student participants in programs like the Washington Youth Tour credit the experience for changing their life path.This episode is a must-listen for Flint members (and future members!) who want to better understand how co-ops are built to serve—and how you can get involved.You're not just a customer—you're a member, an owner, and a part of a community-first mission. That's the cooperative difference.Important Links Referenced in this Episode:Learn more about our Rural Murals, Scholarships, Operation Round Up®, and Bright Ideas Teacher Grant.

Laurana, without her consent, is made the Commander of the Knights of Solamnia. Despite her misgivings she accepts the assignment. As part of accepting her new responsibilities, and despite what her heart may want, she also lets go of her love for Tanis. She does not have the time and energy to pursue it and she believes he is lost to the Darkness.  Tas and Flint inspect the fortifications, worry about Laurana, and reveal their thoughts about Kitiara now that they know she is a Dragon Highlord.  The good dragons finally arrive! Gilthanas & Silvara come with them. We learn from them why the metallic dragons have not made themselves before now: the twisted machinations of Takhisis! But through the sacrifice of Gilthanas and Silvara they've finally come out of hiding to help. Gilthanas also knows about Tanis' indiscretions now and shares it with Laurana. She is uninterested.   Content warning - mild swears One More Thing: Jonathon: OpenRCT2 - https://openrct2.io/ Shivam: Home gardening & preserving You can find us at: Jonathon - https://bsky.app/profile/falselogic.bsky.social  Shivam - https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social  Casual Magic w/ Shivam Bhatt - https://casualmagic.libsyn.com/  Shivam & Wheeler Love Magic - https://sites.libsyn.com/460224  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147877956611082  Discord - https://discord.gg/MM7nEwgmZv  We now have a Patreon for those who want to support the podcast!

Send us a textThe Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936–37 wasn't just a labor dispute — it was a turning point in American history. In this short documentary segment, former Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch breaks down what really happened inside the Fisher Body plants, why the strike succeeded, and how Flint became the birthplace of modern union power.This video explores:The strategy workers used to shut down General MotorsHow the UAW was born inside the factory wallsWhy General Motors feared the sit-down tacticThe role of women's brigades and community supportHow Flint's labor victory shaped wages, work, and democracy for generationsThe sit-down strike wasn't about nostalgia — it was about power, dignity, and the fight for the American middle class. Its lessons are still relevant today as workers confront automation, corporate consolidation, and the changing nature of labor.If you want to understand Flint, Detroit, the Rust Belt, or the history of American work, it starts here.About This ChannelThis video is part of Radio Free Flint Podcast, a narrative documentary project exploring how Flint became a mirror for the American working class. For more episodes and deep-dive storytelling, subscribe to The Mitten Channel.“When men and women are united in common purpose, there is no power in the world that can stop the forward march of free people.” — Walter Reuther#UAW #SitDownStrike #FlintMichigan #LaborHistory #WalterReuther #UnionStrong #TheMittenChannel

Should You Move to Lake Fenton Michigan? (The Reality Is This) - There's a lake in Michigan that locals swear by — but almost no one outside Genesee County talks about it. It's where people live like they're on vacation but still make it to work by eight, where pontoon parties collide with paddleboard mornings, and where sunsets look like they've been Photoshopped. That's Lake Fenton. And before you start packing your floaties and checking Zillow, let's talk about what it's really like to live here — the good, the bad, and the stuff you only find out once your neighbor waves at you from their boat at seven in the morning.Lake Fenton sits in Fenton Township, just south of Flint and about fifteen minutes north of downtown Fenton. The township covers roughly thirty-one square miles, with the lake itself being the showstopper — sprawling across about eight hundred forty-five acres of sparkling blue water and surrounded by about fifty-six hundred year-round residents. This isn't one of those sleepy seasonal places that goes silent after Labor Day. Lake Fenton stays active all year, with just as many ice shanties and snowmobiles in January as there are jet skis and pontoons in July. It's not a vacation destination, it's a lifestyle.MENTIONED LINKS ⬇️Fenton Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1h_-ctKra8Holly Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-HCBLYj4F4Linden Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwR5H2tdF7MGrand Blanc Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxbj9Nt3M0CONTACT ME

In this week's message, we turn to Luke 7 and the remarkable account of a Roman Centurion whose faith caused Jesus Himself to marvel. While the Jewish elders praised the man's accomplishments and argued for his worthiness, the Centurion felt deeply unworthy—yet fully confident in Christ's authority. His request was simple: “Just speak the word, … Continue reading "An Example of Great Faith"

Born in London in 1911, Flint grew up in modest circumstances but claimed to hear voices of the departed from childhood. Those early experiences set him on a lifelong path toward Spiritualism and the exploration of life after death. Unlike trance mediums who spoke on behalf of spirits, Flint's séances were said to produce independent voices, clearly audible to everyone in the room, appearing to come from midair rather than from the medium himself.Sitters described conversations that were intimate, humorous, and deeply emotional. The voices called people by name, shared private memories, and even argued or joked. Among them were recurring personalities such as “Mickey,” a lively Cockney boy spirit, and “Dr. Charles Marshall,” a calm, guiding presence who oversaw communication from the other side.During the Second World War, when grief touched nearly every British home, Flint's séances offered solace. Widows and parents reported hearing the familiar tones of loved ones lost in battle. Others claimed to encounter famous figures, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, each speaking in distinct character and style. To many, these sessions felt less like performances than reunions across the boundary of death.Flint was repeatedly tested. Investigators sealed his mouth, filled it with colored water, even bound him to a chair, yet the voices continued. Hundreds of hours of these sessions were recorded and can still be heard today through the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Whether regarded as genuine spirit communication or an extraordinary unexplained acoustic phenomenon, they remain some of the clearest evidence of voices without visible source ever documented.In this episode, I take you through Flint's life, the atmosphere of his séances, and the enduring mystery of those voices in the dark.

Election Day 2025 will go down in history as D-Day for democracy. Terrell Starr joins Andrea to break down what these nationwide victories mean for the future, from the midterms and beyond. It's clear who Americans blame for the government shutdown. The blue tsunami showed up and reshaped the map, literally. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history as the state's first woman governor as Democrats swept the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and attorney general, with nearly every county shifting blue. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill became the first Democratic woman to lead the state, with Democrats gaining seats across the legislature. Our people-powered victories weren't a "blue bubble" story as Donald Trump wants you to believe. Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi, two statewide offices in Georgia, won the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and wiped GOP control off the Bucks County school board. Colorado voted to feed kids, Charlotte funded transit, Maine rejected voter suppression, progressive D.A.s Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Alvin Bragg in Manhattan won re-election, and California overwhelmingly voted for redistricting self-defense against GOP autocracy. More on the redistricting battle in future episodes. And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just 34, the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1982, the first candidate to get over 1 million votes since 1969, delivered a victory speech so electric it could light up Times Square, reminding us that unity and humanity are the real antidotes to greed and fear. The fascists forced a fight, and democracy punched back. This is only the beginning.
