Johns Hopkins University professor Dr. Lillianna Mason joins the podcast for a discussion of political polarization in the U.S. and how politics have become central to the identities of many Americans across racial, religious and cultural lines.

As the author of 21 books and a career that has spanned multiple decades, how to you stay curious about the world around you? This is just one of the things we discover on this week's episode, a deep and intimate conversation with author Robert Fulghum, who just happens to be a personal friend of Katy. Katy's also explores Fulghum's uncanny ability to attain resilience in the face of what some would deem to be disaster, why Robert dismisses the "meaningless" idea of personal authenticity, how travel shapes your life (and why he makes sure never to dress like a tourist!) and the simple thing that one elementary school teacher did that still makes him tear up thinking about it. Read Third Wish, the book by Fulghum that changed Katy's life (and which she has talked about numerous times on the show), and download (for free!!) some of Robert's personal favorites of his own books.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was allowed to leave Canada in late September, after spending more than 1,000 days under house arrest in Vancouver on an American extradition request. China subsequently set free Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor who have been detained since 2018.

A woman is found burned and wedged between two rocks in a remote area. However, there are no signs of a fire anywhere around her.

In the sixth episode of our new Women in the Military series, host Beverly Kirk spoke with two of CSIS's Military Fellows – Army Colonel Danielle Ngo, who most recently served as Executive Officer for the U.S. Army Office of the Inspector General, and Marine Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Macander, former Battalion Commander of 1st Combat Engineer Battalion. They discussed breaking barriers, the need for reform to retain more women service members, and what they hope to achieve during their time at CSIS.

One of the most interesting thing about our show is that people are listening at all over the place—and no, we don't mean from all over the globe, although that is also true—but that some of our listeners have been with us from the very beginning and hear each episode as it comes out, some joined late and are binge listening to catch up, some have just joined us and are currently on season one (we always suggest new listeners start at the beginning), and some rebels like to hop around and pick episodes whose names strike their fancy. So when we get listener mail (which we do on a regular basis), the listener might have a question or a comment about an episode from any one of our (so far) nine seasons. Sometimes we have to really think back to remember episodes that we taped years and years ago, but it's always fun and it's always worth it. For this mini-episode, Katy reads a few more listener letters.

Falling wages. Failing infrastructure. Soaring public debts. Many believe that America's future looks anything but bright. Stark ideological and partisan divisions have fractured the country at home while a string of failed foreign military interventions have soured Americans on the country's role as defender of the liberal international order. Add in exploding disparities between rich and poor, a bungled pandemic response, and lacklustre economic growth and you have all the markers of a country in decline. Others argue that betting against America has always been a losing proposition. Declinists fail to account for the country's amazing ability to adapt and re-invent itself time and time again. From world beating technological innovations in Silicon Valley to vaccine breakthroughs to the frontiers of commercial space exploration, America has proven it can rise to meet new challenges and opportunities. The strength of its diversity, size of its population, its entrepreneurial drive, military might, and financial prowess all ensure its continued dominance as a global power in the 21st century. In a world beset with authoritarian regimes, statist economies and the absence of human liberty, America will remain a powerful magnet for talented people the world over committed to democracy and freedom. Arguing for the motion is Gideon Rachman, Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator of the Financial Times and author of Easternization: Asia's Rise and America's Decline From Obama to Trump and Beyond. Arguing against the motion is Kori Schake, Director of Foreign and Defense Policy at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of America vs the West: Can the Liberal World Order Be Preserved? QUOTES: GIDEON RACHMAN “I've never seen the country in the state it's in now...it seems to me to be of a different order and one that does raise quite profound questions about the enduring success of the American experiment.”  KORI SCHAKE “Don't underestimate the loud raucous conflictual way America solves its problems... that's how we have traditionally clawed our way towards being a better republic and I believe that continues to happen now.” Sources: The Hill, CNET, Global News, CNN, Yahoo Finance, CNBC, Thames TV, ABC The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths - @rudyardg.   Tweet your comments about this episode to @munkdebate or comment on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/munkdebates/ To sign up for a weekly email reminder for this podcast, send an email to podcast@munkdebates.com.   To support civil and substantive debate on the big questions of the day, consider becoming a Munk Member at https://munkdebates.com/membership Members receive access to our 10+ year library of great debates in HD video, a free Munk Debates book, newsletter and ticketing privileges at our live events.

Foreign fighters play an influential role in Islamic extremist groups. They tend to be more violent, more committed, and more resistant to reconciliation than their indigenous counterparts. Perhaps most significantly, they act as vectors of extremism, moving between zones of conflict, and sometimes returning to their countries of origin to instigate acts of terrorism. Our guests on this episode, Jasmine El-Gamal and Nate Rosenblatt, have researched the problem extensively for almost two decades. They predict that the next wave of extremism fueled by this phenomenon is gathering momentum even now and could pose an even greater threat to global security than its predecessors.

We hear reaction to the Government's solution to the current problems facing pig farmers: 6 month visas for foreign butchers. Farming unions had called for a 12 month 'Covid recovery visa' to allow more workers from abroad into jobs in the food supply chain, or for the Government to relax language rules for foreign butchers working here, but all that was rejected in favour of temporary visas. This week Radio 4 dedicated a day to the scientist. As part of that Anna Hill went to the Research Park in Norwich to hear about the latest in agri-science innovations. The National Trust and Forestry Commission say they are considering what to do with the bans on trail hunting on their land, following the conviction of the Director of the Master of Foxhounds Association for encouraging and assisting people to evade the ban on fox hunting. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

For the first time ever, Adventures in Movies takes their act on the road. Danny and Blake keep the crowd happy at the Sun City Fright Fest while Nathaniel handles things from deep in the heart of Texas. The Sun City Fright Fest provided us an opportunity to talk about some of our favorite things in horror. Stephen King, foreign horror, and found footage are just some of the topics we brought to El Paso.If you are going to talk horror, then it is impossible to not talk about Stephen King. King is obviously one of the most important voices in film, but what is importance overall? How does his work from decades ago still resonate with today's crowd? And will his works ever stop being adapted?It is hard to believe that Scream came out a quarter of a century ago. Its influence on the genre is obvious, but is it the most influential movie of the past twenty-five years? We also talk about how it was the final nail in the coffin for slashers and marvel at the casting of Drew Barrymore.Found footage is one of the most polarizing sub genres out there. We discuss the ending of The Blair Witch Project and try to think of a better ending in point of view films. We also talk about the future of these types of movies and how they have affected non horror movies.Foreign horror has been incredibly popular in the United States. We talk about J-Horror and wonder why it seems to have gotten over better than scary movies from other countries. We also talk about what we would like to see and try to talk about the difference between extreme an mainstream horror.

The rules on the number of deliveries which overseas HGV drivers can make in the UK are to be relaxed to try to ease the pressure on supply chains. The government hopes the move will help to prevent shortages in the run-up to Christmas. Katie Prescott speaks to Rod Mackenzie, Managing Director of Policy & Public Affairs at the Road Haulage Association which represents haulage firms. Following that, Nick Robinson gets a European response from Edwin Atema, of the FNV union which represents drivers across the EU and Europe, before asking the Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, about what this means for immigration.

China has quietly become the big bully in Asia. They take, take, and take with barely a peep from the world. China is very open about its long term plans and goals. They are very patient, calculating, and strategic. Foreign policy wise this puts us in a very tough predicament. China has built islands in the South China Sea and militarized them against all norms of international law. Their fishing boats regularly, with no regard to the Philippines', Vietnam's, Japan's, even Chile's sovereign economic zones, sail into their waters and fish. The world stays silent. Like many people do against bullies. Taiwan is not formally recognized as an independent nation although many of our policies treat it as such. This is a huge thorn in the side of the Chinese for many reasons. One issue is  how they appear to their people. Taiwan looks like a renegade province that is free from the Communist Rulers policies and has been since 1949. The fact that this is still happening makes China's ruling part appear weak to their people. Often, China is more concerned about how they appear than what the actual truth is. Why do we care?Grant and I tackle this subject in today's show. We dive into our legal and required support, and what we think would and should happen if China attacks Taiwan. After all, Taiwan is our ally. We want people to be aware of what is happening in the world that can impact us at home. Taiwan is one of those issues. People need to be aware. Interested in supporting me and this show?

What's it like to return to the city where you studied abroad? What's it like return 50 years later... and in the company of your former classmates, many you haven't seen for half a century? Today's guests can tell you. For this mini-episode, we're joined by a number of former students who studied abroad in Rome in 1970 and 1971, and have come back for a reunion fifty years later.

But, we guarantee this movie is more fun to chat about with friends than it is to actually try and sit through alone.We'll let you know some production details, courtesy of Sean, discuss our initial (very opinionated) feelings about the film, and get about 5 minutes into the plot... as ya do.Jen's recommendations this week:Kingdom of ThirstJeff and Will's Big Gay Fiction PodcastHave some feedback for us?  Email us at shockedandapplaud@gmail.com or visit these fine Web establishments: Become an Applauder with Patreon Facebook and Twitter updates Our HomepageWe're part of the Frolic Podcast Network!

Psalm 26; Obadiah 1:10-16; Revelation 8:1-5 Psalm 26 A psalm of David. 1 Declare me innocent, O Lord,     for I have acted with integrity;     I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. 2 Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.     Test my motives and my heart. 3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love,     and I have lived according to your truth. 4 I do not spend time with liars     or go along with hypocrites. 5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,     and I refuse to join in with the wicked. 6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence.     I come to your altar, O Lord, 7 singing a song of thanksgiving     and telling of all your wonders. 8 I love your sanctuary, Lord,     the place where your glorious presence dwells. 9 Don't let me suffer the fate of sinners.     Don't condemn me along with murderers. 10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,     and they constantly take bribes. 11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity.     So redeem me and show me mercy. 12 Now I stand on solid ground,     and I will publicly praise the Lord.   Obadiah 10-16   New Living Translation     Reasons for Edom's Punishment 10 “Because of the violence you did     to your close relatives in Israel,[a] you will be filled with shame     and destroyed forever. 11 When they were invaded,     you stood aloof, refusing to help them. Foreign invaders carried off their wealth     and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem,     but you acted like one of Israel's enemies. 12 “You should not have gloated     when they exiled your relatives to distant lands. You should not have rejoiced     when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune. You should not have spoken arrogantly     in that terrible time of trouble. 13 You should not have plundered the land of Israel     when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have gloated over their destruction     when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have seized their wealth     when they were suffering such calamity. 14 You should not have stood at the crossroads,     killing those who tried to escape. You should not have captured the survivors     and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble. Edom Destroyed, Israel Restored 15 “The day is near when I, the Lord,     will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel,     so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds     will fall back on your own heads. 16 Just as you swallowed up my people     on my holy mountain, so you and the surrounding nations     will swallow the punishment I pour out on you. Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger     and disappear from history. Read full chapter Footnotes 10 Hebrew your brother Jacob. The names “Jacob” and “Israel” are often interchanged throughout the Old Testament, referring sometimes to the individual patriarch and sometimes to the nation.   Revelation 8:1-5   New Living Translation     The Lamb Breaks the Seventh Seal 8 When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll,[a] there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour. 2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God's people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God's holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. 5 Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.

You did it! You've landed that amazing job, or maybe you're successfully living abroad in the country you've always dreamed of, or you've published your book, bought your dream home, won a major award in your industry (you fill in the blank). The question is: can you chalk it all up to hard work? Or was there some luck involved? And how much of what you've achieved can be attributed to privilege? It's tempting to claim you did it alone, but is that even possible? Today we dig into the topic of luck, privilege, and hard work, and how, when they all come together, amazing things can happen.  ***Save the date! We are hosting our first ever live virtual meet-up on 20 October 2021 at 9pm Central European Time (Rome), or 12 noon PST (Seattle).

Last week we heard from Tiffany about her very first days living as an expat in Rome 17 years ago. Today, it's Katy's turn. She digs into the daily journal she kept back in the fall of 2013, when she moved to Rome with not only no ability to speak the language, but also no clear idea of what she would do there, or even who she would be. In this intimate mini-episode, hear from Katy's own experiences how moving abroad is not always rainbows and roses—especially not at first. The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, the book Katy talks about on this episode. Hear about Tiffany's first days in Rome if you missed that mini-episode. **This episode was sponsored by SafetyWing, a fully remote team building a global safety net for digital nomads and travelers worldwide.

Fr. Mike discusses God's instruction to the people of Israel not to marry women from foreign lands. He explains why God would provide this instruction and how Ezra reacted when he discovered that many prominent Israelites had not obeyed it. He also identifies the prophecies of Palm Sunday and the thirty pieces of silver found in Zechariah. Today's readings are Ezra 9-10, Zechariah 9-11, and Proverbs 20:16-19.
