After a late win at Sheffield United, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter, to reflect on the performance at Bramall Lane. How can City improve against low blocks? Is there really a problem with creativity against stubborn teams? With Rodri's latest thunderbolt, Ciaran also looks back at every single strike the midfielder has converted for City - and we discuss how he's become a man for the big moments, finding the net when the team really needs a goal. With Fulham on the horizon, Sammy James from the Fulhamish podcast speaks to the show about how they're feeling with their start to the campaign and what the mood is like ahead of their trip to the Etihad. And there's also reaction to the Champions League and Carabao Cup draws and we take a look at the transfer news latest, as the summer window comes closer to closing. ========== To get bonus podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/BlueMoonPodcast

A good breakup song can offer you catharsis and a good, long cry. They can help you mediate the feelings caused by a long lost love, a messy goodbye, or a person you never, ever, ever want to get back together with. (Thank you, Taylor Swift). But a breakup song doesn't have to be about a relationship — it can be about a job you're leaving behind, a city you're moving away from, or a friendship that has run its course. And sometimes, even when you're feeling just fine, cranking up that emo breakup song in your car and singing the lyrics at the top of your lungs can be the exact thing you need. We're talking about breakup songs, and we want to hear from you: What breakup song got you through a tough time? Guests: Brontez Purnell, writer, musician and author of "100 Boyfriends." His recent piece for the New York Times Magazine is titled, "I've Listened to This Breakup Song a Million Times" Courtney E. Smith, creator and co-host of the podcast "Songs My Ex Ruined" Asal Ehsanipour, audio producer and writer. Ehsanipour produced the Foretold podcast for the L.A. Times. She is a former KQED reporter and producer.

Faith Pinho, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, created and hosted a new nine-part podcast series, called "Foretold," that delves into the rich history of the Romani community in California, with a focus on Los Angeles. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of a young Romani American woman, Paulina Stevens, who defies her predestined path as a fortuneteller to rewrite her own story. Pinho's storytelling takes us beyond the neon glow of "psychic" signs and the allure of trendy tarot card shops, challenging us to confront our preconceptions about fortunetellers and the Romani people.
This week we're featuring the Los Angeles Times' podcast, “Foretold.” It's the story of a young mother, Paulina Stevens, who was raised in a Romani American family on the Central Coast. Paulina shared her story with reporter Faith Pinho as she sought to leave the sometimes stifling culture she'd grown up in and the life of fortune telling prescribed for her in her teens.
The following address was given by His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke on 19 May 2017 at the fourth annual Rome Life Forum, which was organized by Voice of the Family.The John-Henry Westen Show airs nightly Monday through Thursday at 8:00 PM ET at LifeSiteNews, reporting on the biggest attacks against the Culture of Life including the New World Order, the Great Reset, and the One World Religion. Globalist stories silenced and cancelled by the mainstream media are fully exposed —unfiltered against Big Tech censorship — including Pope Francis' globalist allegiance to the LGBT agenda, the World Economic Forum, and so much more. John-Henry Westen and his guests offer unique and faith-filled answers to life's most difficult questions facing the pro-life and pro-family fight to build a Culture of Life — including answers to prayer, discerning God's will, deciphering ancient Biblical prophecies, understanding end-times revelation, and how to be faithful Catholics in a sinful world. These stories are fundamental to the faith and future of Catholics everywhere, and are seen only at LifeSiteNews.LOVE LIFESITE? LOVE BEING PRO-LIFE?

It's not all for nothing. Perhaps you are in a season where you feel as though you have done all the right things and walked with integrity, and anything and everything is still against you. Jesus understands what that feels like, and had to walk in slander, hate and even death regardless of his righteousness.
Don't play the blame game. It can be tempting to blame others or our trauma for our sin and shortcomings now, but we are all guilty and fall short. So how does Jesus save guilty people?
Life isn't easy. It may seem as though the troubles are never-ending; in some ways, they are. In the Psalms, David knew many troubles. He went as far as the ask God why he was forsaken. Yet, what got him through troubling times and will do so for us as well is focusing on what God has already done.
The shoe doesn't fit you. Jesus isn't our savior simply because He wants to be. He is the only one who is qualified to truly save. His righteousness is given to you when you have faith in Him.
Jesus leads completely in holiness and kingship. As was prophesied in the Old Testament, Jesus was both the ruling king and perfect priest that man alone could not fulfill. Jesus can complete the roles that man alone could not do.

Reine, Graveyard, and Cheryl are enlisted as counter spies at a food and beverage expo. Using their newfound powers of influencing fate (a la the TTRPG system Foretold), will the party be successful in thwarting corporate espionage?

Do God's promises seem far? It's okay to feel that way. Many of us face extremely dark seasons of life, where God's peace and provision feel far away if not impossible. His peace is promised, and we are far from abandoned.
Paulina and Jez discuss the last two episodes of Foretold (episodes 8 & 9), and share their feelings on how tricky it can be to try to represent a culture, even if it's your own story. We're grateful for the Los Angeles Times for taking on this story and spotlighting Romani people, and we encourage everyone to read the essay series that the LA Times published to accompany the podcast series.

It is a tragedy indeed, that one of India's worst-ever train accidents — the Odisha three-train collision — has taken place now, in 2023, a time of cutting-edge tech & high-speed rail travel. While it is true that the number of rail accidents has come down — and that the exact cause of the Odisha accident is yet to be determined — the operations of the Indian Railways have been a subject of some scrutiny. We are talking about worrying CAG findings on derailments, a safety allocation that wasn't, ballooning debt, and a once-plum job that is as unstable as it has been political. Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains in Ep 1245 of Cut The Clutter.
Paulina and Jez catch up on episodes 6 and 7 of the Los Angeles Times podcast series Foretold, with special attention to the backlash Paulina is getting, her boundaries, and thoughts about telling such a dramatic part of her story. We also discuss the pressure of representing all Roma, which we can't and don't claim to, and how we're handling a lot of emails. We're still really happy to hear from you though! Keep writing in with questions, cool Romani stories to share, and anything else. Just check to see if we've already covered it.

Let's look at the many prophecies about Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. First, Fr. MacPherson will help us understand what a prophecy is, and how it's different than a prediction. Then we'll see how throughout the Old Testament, these prophecies get clearer and clearer about who Our Lord would be – yet even still, there was a lot of confusion. Why didn't people at the time understand who Our Lord was?
"Foretold" is the newest podcast from the L.A. Times, and we're sharing a preview of the first episode with you here today. In the fall of 2019, reporter Faith E. Pinho received a tip from a woman named Paulina Stevens. Paulina claimed she had grown up in an insular Romani community in California, where she was raised to be a wife, mother and fortuneteller — until she decided to break away. That first call unraveled a story spanning multiple continents, hundreds of years, and complex metaphysical realities. Follow "Foretold" to hear new episodes every Tuesday.

Foretold is a deeply engrossing podcast that follows the life of Paulina Stevens, a Romani fortune teller as she makes the extraordinary decision to leave her community. In this preview feature we begin with a frantic meeting in a cafe where a panicked Paulina blurts out she has escaped her family's psychic shop with her children, that she is a scam artist born and bred, that she was in an arranged marriage and taken out of school in the 6th grade to prepare for a life pre-determined for her. And so begins the journey to unpack each of those claims, learning about the context and culture of Romani people (commonly known as the pejorative 'Gypsy') along the way. This podcast explores cultural identity, evolution of culture, women's roles, modernization and tradition, and group dynamics --all wrapped up in a compelling and universally relatable life story of a unique woman who is curious about the world and yet metaphysically and culturally connected to her people's history.
