Geoff White has spent over a decade at the intersection of technology and organized crime. As Channel 4 News' technology correspondent, he reported on the Snowden leaks, exposed the Talk Talk hack, and dug into fraud across the online dating industry. He's the co-creator of the BBC's Lazarus Heist, a chart-topping podcast on North Korea's hacking operations, and the author of three books — Crime Dot Com, Rinsed, and, for Audible, The Dark Web and AI: Friend or Foe, the latter released back in 2019, well before AI became a household conversation.In this episode, Geoff joins Yitzy to talk about his path from local newspapers to investigative journalism, the difference between writing a book and building a podcast, and how crypto has genuinely changed the mechanics of money laundering — not made it impossible to trace, but made it faster to move. He also breaks down how his team pieced together 350,000 leaked internal messages from the Conti ransomware gang, translation quirks and all, and gives his take on recent AI-driven hacks, including the Hugging Face/OpenAI incident and the Cold Card wallet exploit — plus why he's skeptical of confident claims about how much AI is actually being used in phishing today.This episode is brought to you by FirstRead — the AI-powered contract and document tool built for lawyers.

In this exciting episode, KRizz & CoopaDil revisit how two key characters in Rogue One reflect human struggles and resilience. In the vast universe of Star Wars, characters often embody traits that resonate deeply with audiences. Rogue One is not merely about rebellion against tyranny, but rather about the personal journeys of its characters. Chirrut & Baze are not traditional heroes; they are flawed individuals who have faced immense loss. Their dynamic works because they relate to others who are also struggling. This reflection of vulnerability makes them relatable and their story impactful. Broken yet brave, the character dynamics of Chirrut & Baze's relationship exemplifies how shared suffering can forge strong bonds, carry the weight of their failures, yet they find purpose in each other. Rather than being driven by destiny or prophecies, they symbolize the ordinary struggle with courage in order to find meaning.

What separates leaders who inspire from those who infuriate? Columbia Business School professor and bestselling author Adam Galinsky (Inspire, Friend & Foe) breaks down the science of inspiration: the Leader Amplification Effect, why every leader inevitably inspires or infuriates, and the three universal traits of inspiring people, being a Visionary, an Exemplar, and a Mentor. He also explains why AI is fundamentally sycophantic, how it can quietly erode learning and human connection, and why in-person relationships still win. Featuring the story of Southwest pilot Captain Tammie Jo Shults, the research on power and reflection, perspective taking, and the real difference between leadership and management. For founders, venture capitalists, and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this is a practical playbook for leading teams, raising capital, and building culture in Southeast Asia's fast moving tech ecosystem. Galinsky unpacks how inspiring leadership shifts across individualistic and collectivist cultures, why consistency and avoiding hypocrisy carry extra weight in Asia, and how simple repetition drives belief, investment, and trust.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, host Natalie Hood sits down with Mike Collins, President of Tenjam, to uncover the often-overlooked realities of in-pool furniture. While most homeowners shop based on appearance and price, Mike explains why comfort, engineering, maintenance requirements, water depth compatibility, and long-term performance matter far more once the furniture is actually sitting in the pool. From ergonomics and furniture design to pool covers, vinyl liners, fiberglass pools, and maintenance concerns, this episode challenges many of the assumptions surrounding today's popular tanning ledges and sun shelves. Topics Covered in This EpisodeWhy Two Pool Loungers That Look Identical Can Perform Completely DifferentlyMike explains how ergonomics, contouring, lumbar support, water management systems, and manufacturing quality dramatically impact comfort and usability. What looks great in a photo may become uncomfortable or frustrating after only a few uses. The Hidden Problem with Water-Filled FurnitureMany in-pool furniture designs rely on trapped water for weight and stability. Mike discusses how some loungers can weigh more than 160 to 260 pounds when filled, creating challenges for homeowners, pool service professionals, and anyone using automatic pool covers. Pool Covers and Furniture: Friend or Foe?The conversation explores why many service professionals dislike heavy in-pool furniture and how furniture design can determine whether opening and closing an automatic cover becomes a simple task or a major inconvenience. Does Heavy Furniture Really Mean Better Furniture?One of the industry's biggest misconceptions is that heavier furniture automatically equals greater stability. Mike explains the science of buoyancy, water displacement, and how thoughtful engineering can create stable furniture without excessive weight. Comfort Matters More Than Most People RealizeNot all in-pool furniture is designed with actual human comfort in mind. The discussion examines common design flaws and how proper ergonomics can dramatically improve the user experience for adults, children, and multi-generational families. The Maintenance Nobody Talks AboutFurniture left in pools year-round faces constant exposure to UV light, calcium scaling, scum lines, algae growth, and other environmental challenges. Mike explains what homeowners should know before purchasing furniture and why drainage design matters. Vinyl Liner and Fiberglass Pool ConsiderationsMany pool owners have heard that luxury in-pool furniture isn't compatible with vinyl liner or fiberglass pools. Mike separates fact from fiction and discusses how furniture weight, movement, and construction can affect pool surfaces over time. Why Water Depth Should Be Part of Every Furniture ConversationOne of the most overlooked aspects of pool design is matching furniture to tanning ledge depth. The episode explores how different water depths create completely different user experiences and why builders should discuss furniture plans with homeowners before construction begins. Pool Furniture Is More Than DecorationToday's in-pool furniture is no longer simply a visual accessory. The right furniture can influence how homeowners use their pools, interact with guests, enjoy tanning ledges, and maximize their outdoor living spaces. Key Takeaways Comfort should be evaluated, not assumed. Furniture weight does not automatically equal quality. Pool covers and furniture compatibility matter. Maintenance requirements vary significantly between brands. Vinyl liner and fiberglass pools require careful furniture selection. Water depth should influence furniture decisions before a pool is built. Proper engineering often matters more than appearance alone. The cheapest option may become the most expensive over time. Memorable Quote"What looks similar online can perform very differently once it's in the water, and understanding the engineering behind the product can make all the difference in long-term satisfaction."

What does real spiritual growth actually look like?In a world where outward expressions of faith can be mistaken for genuine transformation, it's easy to confuse activity with authenticity. How can we tell the difference between what is truly the work of God and what is simply human effort?In this Friday Focus episode, we explore the nature of genuine spiritual advancement—what it is, what it isn't, and why it matters so deeply for our churches, families, and personal lives.

In this landmark five-year special episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis welcomes Addie LaMarr, a YouTuber and former cryptographer with eight years of experience in the Air Force and a history of writing cybersecurity policy for the Department of Justice. LaMarr identifies 2026 as the “beginning of quantum seriousness,” a year where global regulations are forcing a transition to protect critical data longevity from a growing tsunami of threats. Drawing from her military background, she emphasizes that cryptography is often a matter of life and death, sharing a sobering example of “Identify Friend or Foe” systems where a single cryptographic error can cause an aircraft to be treated as a hostile target.The conversation also explores the strategic and societal shifts required as quantum computing matures. LaMarr argues that now is the optimum time for cybersecurity professionals to pivot into post-quantum cryptography (PQC) specialization, noting that such a move could yield pay bumps similar to those who transitioned to AI jobs. However, she pairs this optimism with a warning about how massive computational power could be used to build digital twins and manipulate autonomy. Finally, she cautions that the world may not receive a formal warning when Q-Day arrives, as nations will likely hide their quantum breaking capabilities to maintain informational dominance, much like the secrecy surrounding the cracking of the Enigma code in World War II.For more information on Addie LaMarr, visit www.addielamarr.com/.

Mike White & Tiffany Ervin Survivor 50 Preseason Interviews Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Today, Mike Bloom brings two fan-favorite Survivor artists together for their pre-season interviews. In this Survivor 50 preseason interview series finale, Mike is joined by Emmy winner Mike White and Survivor 46 standout Tiffany Ervin. The podcast dives deep into both players' mindsets as they prepare to step back onto the island, revealing strategy tweaks, anxieties, and the ever-shifting dynamics among returning castaways. The episode opens with Mike White unpacking the decision to return for Survivor 50, sharing how a rare hiatus from The White Lotus made room for this ultimate adventure. Mike reflects on being both a “robbed” runner-up and a superfan, emphasizing his desire to play a game that's not just about winning, but also about making this milestone season exciting—possibly even aiming to face Survivor icons like Cirie and Ozzie at Final Tribal Council. Tiffany Ervin then discusses her cross-country move, the lessons from her idol mishap, and her commitment to balancing authenticity with sharper gameplay. Both guests play a rapid-fire “Friend or Foe” game, sizing up tribemates and revealing who they'd trust, target, or keep at arm's length. – Mike White's take on the difference between playing as a first-timer versus a returnee, and the temptation to make “exciting TV” even at his own risk – Tiffany Ervin's resolve to avoid leaning on a single ally and keep her idol play under wraps – Thoughts on returning legends: Cirie’s uphill journey, Ozzie's unpredictability, and Angelina's high-energy game – Funny moments, like both Mike and Tiffany reading too much into fellow players' body language, painted toenails, or “fair maiden” auras – Mike White's reflections on being a “pawn in someone else's game” and how that mindset shapes his Survivor narrative As these self-described Survivor superfans get ready to “keep chasing the adventure,” the stage is set for new alliances and rivalries. Will they stay true to their plans, adapt to the chaos, or get blindsided by familiar faces?

This episode centers on how Jonathan and Kamilla approach Survivor 50 after leaving bold marks on their original seasons. Jonathan, famous for carrying his tribe (and a ladder!), shares new plans to blend into the background, using advice from Boston Rob and Matt Van Wagenen to adapt his challenge beast persona but not stand out too much in a crowd of big threats.

Both players explore the “Friend or Foe” game, revealing who they'd work with, who scares them, and how rivalries shape their social strategy before the season even starts. – Jonathan's strategy: Hide behind bigger targets while quietly learning from Survivor legends – Kamilla's shift: Trading her underestimated status for a reputation of honesty and puzzle prowess – How jury comments and Survivor 48's edit put Kamilla in the spotlight—and why she wishes they'd hidden her game more – Preseason reads on castmates: Both share their early “Friend or Foe” calls and reveal surprising alliances and rivalries – Funny moments like Jonathan forgetting Emily's name and Kamilla's strong opinions about Kyle's return Will Jonathan's plan to fly under the radar work, or is he destined to stand out? Can Kamilla use her new confidence to outwit a cast who now sees her as a threat? Survivor 50's preseason is full of shifting alliances and strong personalities.

Rizo Velovic & Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick Survivor 50 Preseason Interviews Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Today, Mike Bloom brings together a special Vatu tribe duo for an in-depth round of preseason interviews. In this milestone episode, Mike sits down with returning Survivor 49 standout Rizo Velovic and legendary veteran Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick to explore how new-school energy collides with old-school experience, all while strategists and super fans gear up for an epic season. Survivor 50's anticipation becomes even more intense as Rizo grapples with the notoriety of being the infamous “Riz God” and Stephenie reflects on her return to the game after more than a decade away. The discussion opens with Rizo sharing his whirlwind journey—playing Survivor 49, getting pulled aside by Jeff Probst just hours before leaving Fiji, and learning he's in for back-to-back seasons. Rizo talks openly about carrying the “Riz God” persona into Survivor 50 and his calculated read on how cast perception shapes his target level. He breaks down the division between old-school and new-school players, explaining why he feels safer aligning with Survivor's original legends over modern contestants who are deeply interconnected and more likely to view him as a threat. In the “Friend or Foe” game, Rizo offers rapid-fire takes on castaways, revealing his read on potential allies, rivals, and how he hopes to become “The Prodigy” under Coach's mentorship. On the flip side, Stephenie shares emotional stories from her years away—retiring from reality TV for family, overcoming personal loss, and what motivates her Survivor comeback. She considers her original reputation, lessons learned on Snake in the Grass and The Traitors, and her plan to build genuine bonds while dodging the threat radar. Both Rizo and Stephenie analyze the tribe's dynamics, assess loyalty, spotlight connections, and weigh who could shield them from an early exit. Rizo's strategy as the youngest contestant and navigating his “Riz God” identity The divide between old-schoolers and new-era players, and why Rizo prefers to work with Survivor legends Stephenie's return after years away and her plan to blend in, stay loyal, and play for her family Hints about pregame connections, potential alliances, and which players stand out as immediate threats or trusted allies Highlights from the “Friend or Foe” game—Rizo's picks for key alliances, who could be targeted first, and who both guests would bring back for Survivor 50 As Survivor 50 gets closer, will Rizo's superfan energy and calculated alliances help or hurt his chances? Can Stephenie prove she’s still a force or will her legendary status make her an early target? Tune in for Mike Bloom's deep-dive interviews to hear all the alliance tea, pregame stories, and cast dynamics before the game even begins.

Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Today, Mike Bloom brings together a special Vatu tribe duo for an in-depth round of preseason interviews. In this milestone episode, Mike sits down with returning Survivor 49 standout Rizo Velovic and legendary veteran Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick to explore how new-school energy collides with old-school experience, all while strategists and super fans gear up for an epic season. Survivor 50's anticipation becomes even more intense as Rizo grapples with the notoriety of being the infamous “Riz God” and Stephenie reflects on her return to the game after more than a decade away. The discussion opens with Rizo sharing his whirlwind journey—playing Survivor 49, getting pulled aside by Jeff Probst just hours before leaving Fiji, and learning he's in for back-to-back seasons. Rizo talks openly about carrying the “Riz God” persona into Survivor 50 and his calculated read on how cast perception shapes his target level. He breaks down the division between old-school and new-school players, explaining why he feels safer aligning with Survivor's original legends over modern contestants who are deeply interconnected and more likely to view him as a threat. In the “Friend or Foe” game, Rizo offers rapid-fire takes on castaways, revealing his read on potential allies, rivals, and how he hopes to become “The Prodigy” under Coach's mentorship. On the flip side, Stephenie shares emotional stories from her years away—retiring from reality TV for family, overcoming personal loss, and what motivates her Survivor comeback. She considers her original reputation, lessons learned on Snake in the Grass and The Traitors, and her plan to build genuine bonds while dodging the threat radar. Both Rizo and Stephenie analyze the tribe's dynamics, assess loyalty, spotlight connections, and weigh who could shield them from an early exit. Rizo's strategy as the youngest contestant and navigating his “Riz God” identity The divide between old-schoolers and new-era players, and why Rizo prefers to work with Survivor legends Stephenie's return after years away and her plan to blend in, stay loyal, and play for her family Hints about pregame connections, potential alliances, and which players stand out as immediate threats or trusted allies Highlights from the “Friend or Foe” game—Rizo's picks for key alliances, who could be targeted first, and who both guests would bring back for Survivor 50 As Survivor 50 gets closer, will Rizo's superfan energy and calculated alliances help or hurt his chances? Can Stephenie prove she’s still a force or will her legendary status make her an early target? Tune in for Mike Bloom's deep-dive interviews to hear all the alliance tea, pregame stories, and cast dynamics before the game even begins.

Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Today, Mike Bloom sits down with Survivor legends Colby Donaldson and Genevieve Mushaluk to break down their mindsets and strategies heading into the season. Both players open up about the unique challenges of returning to the island, and share candid thoughts about their fellow castaways and their own approaches to the toughest social game on TV. Kicking things off, Mike Bloom asks Colby about his return after 15 years and what inspires him to play again. Colby talks about moving back to Texas and reconnecting with his roots, feeling “hungrier” than ever despite being no longer seen as a physical threat by the new cast. When Mike quizzes Colby in a “Friend or Foe” cast assessment, Colby fires from the hip and reveals how old-school alliances may collide with new-era game chaos. Colby even highlights his regrets from Heroes vs. Villains and All Stars, sharing how he's studied his past mistakes to transform his gameplay for Survivor 50. Genevieve gets her chance to weigh in, discussing her evolution from strategic player to a more balanced social game. She opens up about feeling like an outsider among a sea of returning players, revealing she has “no friends” on this cast and sees that as both a risk and an opportunity. Genevieve's own “Friend or Foe” reads are guided by gut instinct, raw vibes, and past Survivor arcs, with surprising picks and a little dry humor mixed in. She's most worried about being the easy early vote, but vows to bring a cutthroat edge from day one. – Colby candidly assesses threats and allies, from Cirie and Ozzy to new school wild cards like Kyle and Camilla – Genevieve admits her fears about early vulnerability and speculates on how social connections shape safety and targeting – Both players wrestle with past missteps and their plans to rewrite their Survivor legacies – Colby and Genevieve offer friend-or-foe hot takes on iconic castaways, including Coach, Angelina, Chrissy, and the mysterious “Rizgod” – Funny moments abound, including Colby's long-lost schoolyard pick strategy and Genevieve's goal to channel “Joy” from Inside Out for her loved ones visit Will Colby's Texas comeback strategy finally bring him a win, and can Genevieve break out of her outsider shell to outmaneuver old and new alliances? Survivor 50 is shaping up for big reversals and deeper connections.

Joe Hunter & Ozzy Lusth Survivor 50 Preseason Interviews Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Survivor 50's preseason buzz gets even hotter as Mike Bloom returns for the Survivor 50 Preseason Interview series, welcoming fan favorites Joe Hunter and Ozzy Lusth. It’s “boys night” as Mike sits down for deeply personal, strategic conversations with two stars from different eras, Joe representing the new school and Ozzy stepping back into the game after nearly a decade away. The episode zeroes in on what it takes to evolve as a player and to face the jury with renewed purpose after a crushing loss. Mike Bloom kicks things off by recapping Joe's journey through Survivor 48, where he was viewed as the season's front runner only to be blindsided at the final vote. Joe reflects on balancing gratitude for playing with the pain of not winning, sharing how reliving his loss just weeks before heading back out for Survivor 50 has shaped his approach. The conversation shifts to strategy as Joe lays out his plan to “read the room” and build trust with the right people, rather than leading with loyalty alone. Ozzy's segment dives into changes both on and off the island, he's retired the “Jungle Boy” persona for a more mature game as “Oscar,” eager to build deep alliances and showcase personal growth. – Joe's candid talk about learning from defeat and going beyond simply “playing the same game” – Ozzy's take on why challenge dominance alone can't win Survivor 50—and how building trust is the new meta – The “Friend or Foe” game reveals who they see as allies, threats, and wildcards—plus, how old school vs. new era vibes may split the tribe – Joe's insight on how loyalty and trust are currency, but knowing when and with whom to spend it is everything – Ozzy shares how real-life challenges (opening a restaurant in Mexico, identity growth) prepare him for new Survivor obstacles As Joe and Ozzy gear up for another shot at the title, the big question looms: Will playing with heart and maturity finally land one of them the million-dollar prize, or is a new twist waiting at Tribal Council? Will alliances built on trust survive, or is a flip inevitable?
