Send us Fan MailIn a world filled with uncertainty, many seek clarity and healing. When I sat down with Amy, a medical intuitive healer, she shared her transformative journey of awakening and how her experiences shaped her approach to healing. In this post, we'll explore key insights on personal awakening, energy work, and the importance of inner healing.The Awakening Journey: A Personal StoryAmy's journey began with profound grief, losing her father and experiencing the collapse of her marriage. Through these challenges, she found herself seeking answers and embarked on a path of awakening. This personal experience ignited her passion for energy work and healing. Amy described how these pivotal moments in her life served as catalysts for her spiritual awakening. She offered herself in service to the divine, which she believes set her on a transformative path. This illustrates how trauma can often lead to personal growth and awakening.- **The Role of Energy Work**: In her healing practice, Amy emphasizes that energy work helps individuals release pain and align with their true selves. She acts as a channel for divine frequencies, assisting others in raising their vibration and moving away from pain and illness.One of the most significant shifts Amy has experienced is the transition from feeling like a healer to recognizing the necessity of inner work for her clients. She notes that many people seek healing without having done the inner work necessary for the energy to flow.- **The Importance of Inner Work**: Amy emphasizes that those who have done the inner work often experience a more profound transformation during energy sessions. This highlights the significance of taking personal responsibility for one's healing journey.- **Common Misconceptions**: A common misconception Amy encounters is the belief that a healer can “fix” someone. In her experience, true healing requires the individual to actively participate in their journey.

Plus, you can join our growing Zwift racing community and take on Gareth and Ross in a weekly TT! A monthly pledge is all it takes!In this show:Switzerland's Audrey Werro delivered a stunning plot twist in the women's 800m, running the third fastest time in history (1:53.98) in Stockholm to beat a personal best from Keely Hodgkinson. Suddenly the world record conversation has two names in it. We discuss Werro's emergence and potential, the tactical error that may have cost Hodgkinson slightly, and what this means for the possibilities that the oldest world record in the sport falls this yearWhere does Femke Bol fit into all this? The Dutch 400m hurdles star changed events in search of new challenges, but the event is evolving so fast that the challenge looks significantly greater and she's not even raced outdoors yet! We discuss whether her 400 meter speed is a genuine weapon or whether the 400-800 double is as rare as it is for good reasonCooper Lutkenhaus is the most exciting teenager in track and field, already a world indoor champion, and now a Diamond League winner. We talk about his pedigree and potential, with Gareth nothing a multi-sport background that augurs well for his longevity. Challenges and 'road bumps' await, but he has a ceiling that may lie beyond the current world recordKirsty Coventry said she doesn't believe in paying Olympic athletes, and it has not landed well. Global Athlete has responded with a proposal for interim payments and a breakdown of the IOC's finances that is staggering. The IOC is sitting on nearly five billion dollars in reserves, and Global Athlete are asking for eight percent of the Paris broadcasting revenue. We ponder why Coventry made that statement knowing it would invite significant blowback, and what it reveals about the pressure she is under from inside the IOC. We also speculate on whether there are any good reasons to avoid paying Olympic athletesAnna van der Breggen lost the women's Giro on the final day from the pink jersey, her second Grand Tour lead lost this year. We explore why smaller team sizes in the women's peloton make tactical racing both more unpredictable and more compelling, and why the women's Tour de France is shaping up to be exceptionalThe UCI's weekly rule update: no more front jersey pockets, bike computers limited in size, finishing straights must now be at least 200 meters, and an appeal against the Belgian court ruling on gear ratios. We work through each one, pick out the ones that make sense and the ones that really don't, and ask again why the SAFER data hasn't been made public to respond some of the criticisms the UCI are receivingChristian Eriksen collapsed again during an international friendly, this time saved by his implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Ross explains what the device actually does, how often it fires appropriately versus inappropriately, and why Erikison's second event raises serious questions about whether continuing to play is tenableAnd finally, a listener on Discourse solved the mystery of why Shohei Ohtani's baseball salary looked so low on the Forbes rich list. The answer involves 68 million dollars per year deferred over a decade, void years, ghost contracts, and some of the most creative accounting in professional sport Hosted on Acast.

In August 2010, Gareth Williams, a brilliant Welsh mathematician working for GCHQ and on secondment to MI6, was found dead inside a padlocked sports bag in a London flat linked to the security services. His death quickly became one of Britain's most perplexing unsolved mysteries.An inquest concluded that Gareth's death was unnatural and likely involved a criminal act. Yet a later Metropolitan Police review suggested it was probably a tragic accident. The conflicting conclusions only deepened the mystery.As investigators examined Gareth's final days, reports emerged that his highly sensitive work involved tracking international money laundering networks and monitoring Russian organised crime interests.In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell explore the life, secret work and unexplained death of a gifted codebreaker. Was Gareth Williams murdered, or is there another explanation behind this enduring mystery?CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram:@bloodtiespodcastEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, it's not yet time for another visit from the bearded present giver, but some decidedly less beardy people are here with their own gifts from the world of gaming. What I'm trying to say is, it's showcase season! The Xbox Games Showcase, Summer Game Fest, and the small matter of Planet Zoo 2 (exclusive interview, anyone?!?) are top of the agenda for us here at TheXboxHub towers. You know what they say (probably); where there's games, there's TheXboxHub Official Podcast. Gareth, Paul and Darren are back with Episode 229 and it's a busy old schedule. They deep dive into the Xbox Games Showcase, pick their highlights from Summer Game Fest and just about manage to keep Paul focused as his excitement for Gears of War: E-Day builds to fever pitch.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Brendan Dowd — West Point graduate, Iraq War veteran, government consultant, and host of History Nerds United, one of the most respected history book podcasts in the business with over 220 episodes — for a pure, unfiltered book nerd conversation. Both hosts came with a stack of their favorite British history books and took turns sharing their picks, debating the merits, going gloriously off-topic about Darkest Hour, the new Wuthering Heights film, Bridgerton, and Dan Jones's upcoming castles book, and building what amounts to a British history reading list that will keep you busy for years. Between them, Jonathan and Brendan recommend over 20 books spanning Alfred the Great, the Tudors, the Regency, Victorian London, World War II, Thatcher, the Iranian Embassy Siege, and the hidden history of English wolves — plus a peek at what's sitting on each of their TBR piles right now. Links History Nerds United ~History Nerds United Podcast~ ~History Nerds United on YouTube~ ~Brendan's Top Episode: Helen Castor on Joan of Arc~ (update with direct episode link) ⠀Jonathan's Picks ~Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson~ ~The Road to Little Dribbling by Bill Bryson~ ~Churchill: Walking with Destiny by Andrew Roberts~ ~My Early Life by Winston Churchill~ ~A Very English Scandal by John Preston~ ~London: The Biography by Peter Ackroyd~ ~Citizens of London by Lynne Olson~ ~Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera~ ~Empireworld by Sathnam Sanghera~ ~The Iron Lady by John Campbell~ ~The Last Wolf by Robert Winder~ ~The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy by David Cannadine~ ~Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh~ ~The Regency Years by Robert Morrison~ ~Churchill's Citadel by Katherine Carter~ ⠀Brendan's Picks ~Alfred the Great by Justin Pollard~ ~The Six Loves of James I by Gareth Russell~ ~Battle for the Island Kingdom by Don Hollway~ ~Once a King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII by Jane Marguerite Tippett~ ~The Greatest Knight by Thomas Asbridge~ ~Henry V by Dan Jones~ ~Thomas More: A Life by Joanne Paul~ ~The Stolen Crown by Tracy Borman~ ~The Crown's Silence by Brooke Newman~ ~The Eagle and the Hart by Helen Castor~ ~The Invention of Charlotte Brontë by Graham Watson~ ~London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe~ ~The Siege by Ben Macintyre~ ⠀Also Mentioned ~Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe~ ~Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe~ ~Secrets of Great British Castles with Dan Jones on Netflix~ ~Darkest Hour (2017)~ ~Young Winston (1972)~ ⠀Anglotopia ~101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks by Jonathan Thomas~ (update with direct product link) ~Anglotopia Guide to the World of Bridgerton~ (update with direct product link) ~Friends of Anglotopia Club~ (update with correct URL) ⠀ Takeaways Both Jonathan and Brendan started their podcasts for exactly the same reason — frustration at the quality of existing coverage in their field — and both were shocked to discover how generous, enthusiastic, and collegial the history author community turned out to be. Brendan's gateway into British history was Alfred the Great by Justin Pollard — a compact, accessible biography of the only English monarch to earn the title "the Great," which he recommends as the perfect gateway drug for readers who think history books are intimidating. Jonathan's most-reread British book is Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island — a definitive outsider's portrait of British culture from the early 1990s that remains beloved by British readers themselves, and the book that most shaped his vision for Anglotopia. Andrew Roberts's one-volume Churchill biography is both Jonathan and Brendan's recommended starting point for anyone wanting a modern, comprehensive, and myth-busting account of Churchill — and Roberts's Napoleon biography is equally essential. Helen Castor is independently named by Brendan as one of his very favorite history writers — her Eagle and the Hart on Richard II and Henry IV, and her Joan of Arc episode of his podcast, are both highlighted as exceptional examples of humanizing complex historical figures without sanitizing them. Both hosts agree that the best history books share a quality: they humanize their subjects — showing the positive and the negative — rather than either condemning or canonizing them. The books they admire most leave the reader to make their own moral judgments. Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera and The Crown's Silence by Brooke Newman both generated significant controversy — particularly in British publications — but both Jonathan and Brendan recommend them as essential, rigorously evidenced correctives to popular myths about the British Empire and the monarchy's role in the slave trade. Ben Macintyre's The Siege — on the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London that made the SAS famous — is Brendan's pick for best recent true British history read, praised for building unbearable tension over hundreds of pages before releasing it all in a single extended final chapter. The new Wuthering Heights film gets a thumbs-down from both hosts — "it looks beautiful but just didn't land" — while Darkest Hour generates a spirited debate about the Underground scene that ends with both agreeing it's historically wrong but emotionally right. Both hosts are currently working through books about the interwar period, Cold War espionage, and upcoming releases from Dan Jones and Thomas Asbridge — and both agree that the single greatest problem with loving history books is that the TBR pile never gets shorter. ⠀ Soundbites "I lost it. I said, there's gotta be a better way. I don't want to continually torture my family with all my rants about books. So I started the blog." — Brendan on the one-star Amazon review that launched History Nerds United. "I sent 10 emails on the first day thinking if I get one back I'll be ecstatic. I got eight back within three days. And I've now sat on a boat with Dan Jones having drinks, overlooking Omaha Beach. Nobody tell me it didn't happen." — Brendan on the unexpected magic of the history community. "I have yet to interview a jerk. Everyone has been unfailingly nice and so excited to be there and just so game to talk about whatever." — Brendan on 220+ episodes of History Nerds United. "My long-term goal is to be like Bill Bryson. I've actually met him. He's a very nice chap. I can only hope to be 10% as good as him one day." — Jonathan on Notes from a Small Island and his writing ambitions. *"If you want to understand why everything is happening in Downton Abbey, read *The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy. I read it as research for a novel I was writing in college and it has never left me." — Jonathan on David Cannadine's masterwork. "Churchill wouldn't have done that. He was not that type of person. But you put Churchill in a period tube carriage, surrounded by Londoners during the Blitz, and it captures the essence of what the story is trying to tell. Was it real? Heck no." — Jonathan and Brendan on the Underground scene in Darkest Hour. "Helen Castor is constantly teaching you, but you feel like you're just having a conversation within the book. At the end of it, you hear Helen get emotional talking about this teenager burned at the stake — how scared she must have been, even with all her faith. She makes her human instead of an icon." — Brendan on his favorite episode of History Nerds United. "The thesis is that because Britain hunted wolves to extinction, it unleashed the economic powerhouse of sheep farming and wool — and as a consequence of that led to so much of what we know as Britain. I read it and I wanted to read it all over again immediately." — Jonathan on The Last Wolf by Robert Winder. "She stayed laser focused on the Elizabethan succession and somehow it's still interesting all the way through. She mentions the Spanish Armada for about three sentences. I said in my review: this book has been written. We don't need any more on this subject." — Brendan on Tracy Borman's The Stolen Crown. "No author has ever made me feel more lazy than Catherine Grace Katz — she wrote *Daughters of Yalta* while she was in law school. If you told me that I would one day be sitting there with Marsha Clark from the OJ Simpson trial, I would have called you a liar. But that's what this world does." — Brendan on the surreal privilege of the history podcast community. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the book conversation episode and introduces

Quick recapThe Two Grumpy Bastards podcast returned after a break, with Koop and Russ discussing several major topics including the Henry Nowak murder case in Britain, where a Sikh immigrant stabbed a white man to death and was initially treated as a victim rather than a perpetrator by police, highlighting concerns about racial bias and immigration policies. They analyzed California's primary elections, noting that Republican Steve Hilton was leading in the governor's race against Democrat Xavier Becerra, representing a rare opportunity for Republicans in traditionally blue California. The conversation also covered the upcoming midterm elections, with Russ predicting a potential "reverse 2022" where Republicans might gain seats in the Senate and House despite expectations of a "blue wave." The podcast concluded with discussion of local issues including Spencer Pratt's surprising mayoral campaign in Los Angeles and concerns about homelessness and public safety in both California cities and their own communities.SummaryTrans Advocacy Online EngagementRuss and Koop discussed engaging with trans advocates online, specifically on Daily Wire's website where they encountered trolls defending a story about Oregon taking a child from a woman who wouldn't affirm the child's trans identity. Russ mentioned responding to these comments with a nuanced argument about state power abuse rather than using a sledgehammer approach. The conversation ended with Koop adjusting his camera settings.Sports Discussion and Health UpdateKoop discussed his recent illness, describing how severe it was and mentioning that he believes his medication dose was increased or he had a virus. The conversation then shifted to sports, with both participants discussing the Stanley Cup Finals between Vegas and the team Russ's team plays against, as well as the Seattle Kraken's poor performance season. They also discussed NFL teams, particularly the Rams' draft decisions and coaching styles in the NFC West, with specific criticism of Sean McVay's reaction to the draft choice.Discussion on Political and Personal InteractionsRuss and Koop discussed their interactions with Gareth, who had been criticizing Russ's military service. They shared personal anecdotes about Gareth's background and discussed how Gareth and others had responded to political discussions online. Koop also mentioned having a lengthy conversation with someone named Donya about family and personal beliefs, including information about Donya's children identifying as transgender. The conversation then shifted to Koop sharing details about his high school and college bands.Podcast Discussion on Political ViewsKoop and Russ began their podcast discussing their planned topics, including the Henry Nowak issue and California elections. They shared personal anecdotes about childhood TV shows and discussed their tans from recent vacations. Koop expressed his shift in political views, claiming that progressive values have moved from being "wrong" to "full-on evil," and mentioned his intention to discuss a recent horrific event in Britain involving the murder of Henry Nowak by an Indian Sikh.Murder Response and Racial HierarchiesRuss described the murder of Henry Nowak by Vikram Digwa in London, highlighting how police initially dismissed Nowak's claims of being stabbed and instead accepted Digwa's assertion that he was a victim of a racial attack. The incident has sparked protests in Southampton and political reactions, with the Reform Party criticizing immigration policies while Labour and Keir Starmer have defended the response and criticized the public reaction. Russ noted the double standard in how authorities responded to this incident compared to the George Floyd case, suggesting it reflects a new racial hierarchy in Britain where laws may apply differently based on skin color.Discussion on Race and HistoryKoop and Russ discussed a recent case in Texas where a young black man stabbed and killed a white student, with Koop expressing outrage that funds were raised for the perpetrator's defense. They compared this to the Henry Nowak case, where Koop described the violent nature of the attack as deliberate murder. The conversation then shifted to discussing British Prime Minister Starmer and historical British leadership, before transitioning to a discussion about the British Empire's role in ending slavery through naval patrols and its broader positive impact on civilization. Russ emphasized that Western freedoms, including free speech and self-defense rights, originated from British common law and traditions.Islamic Civilization and Western ProgressRuss and Koop discussed the historical advancement of Islamic civilizations from the 8th to 14th centuries before they fell into fundamentalism, which hindered further progress. They attributed the West's advancement to factors such as the Catholic Church's role in promoting science and outlawing cousin marriage, which helped increase genetic diversity. The conversation also touched on the complex geopolitical realities in Iran, highlighting how the overthrow of the Shah led to a more restrictive fundamentalist regime under Ayatollah Khomeini.Iran Treaty and Cultural DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed their frustration with Trump's handling of the Iran treaty and shared their views on strong British protests captured in recent footage. They also talked about cultural differences between Americans and Brits, respect for people living under constant stress, and upcoming movies about World War II. Koop shared his updated genetic ancestry results, revealing he is largely Lithuanian with a mix of German, Viking, Scottish, Russian, and other backgrounds.LA Mayor Election DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed political races, focusing primarily on the LA mayor's election where Spencer Pratt was leading with 29.9% of the vote against Karen Bass's 35.0%, with 38% of votes still outstanding. They debated whether Pratt could win against Bass in a runoff, comparing him to Tim Walz rather than Kamala Harris. The conversation also touched on the California governor's race but did not reach concrete conclusions about those results.California Gubernatorial Election AnalysisRuss and Koop discussed the California gubernatorial election, where Steve Hilton, a British transplant, is leading with 27.6% of the vote against Xavier Becerra. They analyzed the jungle primary system and its impact on Republican candidates, noting that no Republican has been competitive in California gubernatorial races for almost 20 years. The conversation touched on various candidates' performances and ended with a discussion about the disappointing 2022 midterm results for Republicans, which did not produce the anticipated "red wave."Midterm Elections Analysis DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the recent midterm elections, noting that despite Republicans taking back the house by a narrow margin, poor candidate selection by Democrats in key races prevented them from achieving greater gains. They agreed that a predicted "blue wave" in 2024 is unlikely due to extreme candidates on both sides driving voters toward the middle. Russ predicted Republicans would gain 2-3 House seats and potentially one Senate seat in 2026, reversing the 2022 results.Fetterman's Political Future DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed John Fetterman's political future, with Russ predicting Fetterman would lose his primary election rather than switch parties, which could potentially open up a Republican seat in Pennsylvania in 2028. They also shared a humorous Babylon Bee video satire about progressive policies, noting that the best satire contains elements of truth.Koop and Russ Discussion MeetingKoop and Russ discussed various topics including farming intelligence, the upcoming World Cup, and local political issues. They shared perspectives on Seattle's decline and criticized current political leaders. The conversation concluded with plans to update merchandise designs, particularly for hats, on their website TwoGrumpyBastardsMerchandise.com.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics.

Join The Real Science of Sport Supporters club for ad-free listening and our exclusive weekly Applied Science show! A monthly donation is all takes!This week's Spotlight opens in Paris, where Roland Garros has delivered one of the most chaotic and compelling Grand Slams in recent memory, and ends on a Las Vegas track with a promise of $10 million unlikely to be fulfilled. Along the way, we explore retirements and comebacks, bike weight scandals, regulatory issues and a surprising way to boost your red blood cells.In today's Show:For the first time in the Open era, not a single former Grand Slam champion reached the men's round of 16. Ross and Gareth try to make sense of a tournament turned on its head by epically long five-set matches, multiple two-set-up defeats, and the emergence of potential new stars to challenge the duopoly atop men's tennisSinner is gone, Djokovic is gone, and the heat played a starring role. We revisit our applied show on heat adaptation to explain exactly why Sinner's implosion was both predictable physiologically, but surprising in its speed and persistenceSerena Williams has accepted a wildcard to play doubles at Queen's at 44. We explore the motivations for her return, and discuss why elite athletes retire in the first place? A thread on Discourse sparked by James gets us exploring the psychology and physiology of retirement, and why the grind we don't see is often the causeIn cycling, Lorena Wiebes was disqualified from the women's Giro after her bike allegedly weighed in 20 grams under the UCI's 6.8kg minimum. Was the punishment proportionate? Is the UCI's measurement process up to the required standard? Are SD Worx guilty of playing it too close to the limit? We discuss.A Belgian court has ruled against the UCI's attempt to impose gear ratio limits on the sport, finding the regulation neither necessary nor proportionate. We explore the implications well beyond cycling, and ponder how the UCI's failure to present a clear justification for the regulation was ultimately its undoingTilting your bed by six degrees could raise your EPO levels by 13% and increase hemoglobin mass by nearly 5%. Ross unpacks a genuinely fascinating new study, explaining why the mechanism is the same as altitude and heat training, whether the effect will be additive in athletes, and whether elite athletes are already quietly propping up their headboardsA carbohydrate question from supporter Tony ahead of his national canoe championships: does glycogen depletion in one muscle group affect availability elsewhere? Ross explains the elegant logic of local storage and use, the lactate shuttle, and why liver is the unsung hero of endurance fuellingAnd Finally, the Enhanced Games have announced a $10 million bonus for anyone who breaks Usain Bolt's 100m world record at their 2027 event. We discuss whether that will be enough to entice the truly fast man to race, doped or clean, and what it might mean for athlete's participation in the Olympics following an Enhanced Games Hosted on Acast.

Social challenges surged during COVID, creating a powerful wave of participation and connection. Now, as the landscape matures, many organizations are asking where these P2P campaigns truly fit and how to evolve them with intention.In this episode, Marcie Maxwell sits down with Gareth Mulcahy, Head of Proposition at Cancer Research UK. Gareth brings a candid perspective on why social challenges still matter, and how his team continues to adapt their portfolio to stay relevant, responsive, and rooted in supporter needs.Gareth shares what it takes to operate at the speed social challenges demand, from shifting internal mindsets to launching campaigns in months rather than years. He also dives into how meaningful storytelling and thoughtful campaign design can help challenges stand out in an increasingly crowded space. Along the way, the conversation tackles how to guide leadership through changing results, and how to discern whether social challenges are the right fit for your organization at all.Together, we'll explore:The role social challenges play in a modern fundraising portfolio and what drives sustained successHow speed, storytelling, and authenticity shape standout campaignsWhen to lean into social challenges and when it may be time to step backMentioned LinksCancer Research UKStay Connected on LinkedInConnect with GarethConnect with MarcieConnect with the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum (00:00) - Welcome to The P2P Soap Box (02:07) - Introducing Gareth Mulcahy (05:08) - Why do Social Challenges Still Matter at Cancer Research UK?

Personal brand or just an influencer with a ring light? Gareth and Ben kick off the Friday with a real conversation about whether building a personal brand actually matters, and where the line is between genuine influence and just performing for the algorithm. They also take a look at the Enhanced Games, which promised to rewrite the record books and largely didn't, and ask a spicy question: is aspiration just the rich putting their lifestyle on a pedestal for everyone else to stare at? Then Mike Sharman pulls up a chair. Gareth and Mike get into what actually makes content worth watching, and the entrepreneurial journey gets an honest autopsy. Yes, there are moments of pure joy. But mostly? It's a grind. Blood, sweat, tears, and a lot of staring at a screen wondering if any of it is working. They close out on a fascinating question about narcissism and whether a healthy ego is a business asset or the thing that quietly burns it all down.
Get ad-free listening and exclusive shows by becoming a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport!In our Spotlight this week:The heat wave in Paris is making life very difficult at Roland Garros, with Casper Ruud describing himself as "walking around like a zombie" during his first round match. We explore the physiology of heat regulation in tennis, how safety policies are developed to protect players, explain why heat changes the tactical and technical nature of play, and what can be done to help players without handing out free passes to those less well preparedSean Ingle joined us recently to talk about the Enhanced Games. We share our thoughts as the dust settles, with more reflection on why the premise of trustworthiness was never really delivered, the money that is turning athlete's heads, and Gareth walks back a few things he said in the heat of the momentWe explain the deliberate logic behind World Athletics' new qualification standards, and what it means for athletes without a good agent or a seat at the Diamond League tableRugby and concussion are in the Spotlight again with two research developments. First, a group of researchers is promising a new evidence-backed head impact assessment protocol for women's players. Ross doesn't know exactly what that means, and we discuss what is already known about women's susceptibility to concussion. Then, a new study out of Ireland provides the first published evidence that lowering the legal tackle height in rugby has reduced concussion and overall injury rates at community level. Ross, who has been directly involved in the process, explains what we now know, what still needs work, and why a 20% drop, scaled across tens of thousands of players, is a genuinely meaningful public health winCan an athlete still compete professionally in multiple sports at the highest level? A great question from listener Robert to our Discourse community (another reason to join our supporters club for more!) sparks a wide-ranging conversation, from Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders to Rebecca Romero and Elise Perry — and why early specialisation has made the whole idea increasingly impossibleForbes has released its top 10 highest-paid athletes of 2026. Ross and Gareth play a guessing game, reflect on what the list says about the business of sport, money and sex, and note that no woman made the top 50. Hosted on Acast.

A Note from James:Have you ever read The Da Vinci Code?That book was definitely a page-turner. Before I read it, I had never really heard of Opus Dei. And after today's conversation with Gareth Gore, you might wish you had never heard of Opus Dei either.In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei is a mysterious organization tied to the Catholic Church, secret history, and global power. But today's guest, Gareth Gore, started investigating Opus Dei from a completely different angle. He was looking into the 2017 collapse of a major Spanish bank. He found something much bigger: a secretive organization with connections to global finance, politics, elite schools, the FBI, and even the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C.His book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church. And what he found is disturbing. Officially, Opus Dei promotes holiness in everyday life. And honestly, I like parts of that idea. But Gareth argues that behind the public message is a high-control organization built on secrecy, manipulation, financial opacity, and alleged abuse.We talk about how Opus Dei recruits from both the ultra-wealthy and the desperately poor, the strange ownership structures tied to hundreds of millions of dollars, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, alleged influence in Washington, and Gareth's recent private meeting with Pope Leo, where he says he gave the Pope a dossier calling for serious action.This is an eye-opening story. Here's Gareth Gore.Episode Description:James talks with investigative journalist Gareth Gore about Opus Dei, the secretive Catholic organization at the center of Gareth's book Opus. What started as Gareth's investigation into the collapse of Banco Popular in Spain led him into a much larger story about money, power, religious authority, alleged exploitation, and the ways an institution can hide behind noble language while pursuing a much harder political and financial agenda.Gareth explains that Opus Dei officially presents itself as a Catholic movement dedicated to helping ordinary people find holiness through daily work. But his argument is that the public message conceals a high-control system built around recruitment, secrecy, spiritual pressure, and influence inside elite institutions. He describes Opus Dei as both an official part of the Catholic Church and, in his view, an abusive cult. Opus Dei strongly disputes Gareth's book, calling it a false picture based on distorted facts and conspiracy theories.The conversation moves from Opus Dei's founding in Spain in 1928 to its special status as a personal prelature, its alleged links to Banco Popular, its recruitment practices, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, elite schools, Washington power networks, and Gareth's recent meeting with Pope Leo. The episode is useful because it does not treat Opus Dei as just a conspiracy theory symbol from The Da Vinci Code. It asks a more direct question: what happens when a religious organization accumulates money, secrecy, political influence, and moral authority at the same time?What You'll Learn:What Opus Dei officially is, and why its status as a personal prelature matters.How Gareth Gore went from investigating a Spanish bank collapse to writing a book about Opus Dei.Why Gareth argues that Opus Dei's public message differs sharply from its internal practices.How Banco Popular allegedly became a financial engine for Opus Dei-linked projects.Why Gareth compares aspects of Opus Dei to a high-control cult.What Gareth says happened in the Robert Hanssen spy scandal.Why the alleged recruitment of minors and underprivileged girls has become one of the most serious issues around the organization.What Gareth told Pope Leo in their private meeting.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Gareth Gore on Opus Dei as an alleged abusive cult[02:41] Opus Dei as a “rising militia”[03:54] A Note from James: from The Da Vinci Code to Gareth's investigation[05:54] Gareth joins the show[06:00] How James first heard of Opus Dei[06:37] Gareth's background as a financial journalist[07:11] What is Opus Dei?[07:45] Opus Dei's status as a personal prelature[08:40] Why that structure gives Opus Dei unusual freedom[09:15] Gareth's argument: official Catholic structure, unofficial high-control group[10:03] The positive public message of “holiness in everyday life”[10:43] Josemaría Escrivá and Opus Dei's founding[12:00] When Gareth thinks the movement turned political[13:30] Spain on the edge of civil war[14:14] Escrivá's followers as a “secret army”[15:19] Why Opus Dei recruits from elites[16:00] Why Opus Dei also recruits from the poor[17:09] Underprivileged girls and alleged domestic servitude[17:37] How recruitment works by invitation[19:15] Lifelong study, confession, and spiritual guidance[19:54] Opus Dei's modern agenda[20:46] Sex, family values, and political identity[22:05] Why Dan Brown chose Opus Dei for The Da Vinci Code[24:01] Banco Popular and the financial trail[25:54] The mysterious shareholder structure[26:34] Shell companies and alleged financial flows[27:15] Why not publicly identify Opus Dei as a major shareholder?[28:27] Arm's-length foundations and deniability[29:52] Are there good people inside Opus Dei?[30:32] The founder's rules and internal control[32:51] What happens when people leave[33:52] Robert Hanssen and Opus Dei[35:00] Hanssen's wife, confession, and the Opus Dei priest[36:24] Gareth's theory of institutional self-protection[40:03] How the bank collapse connects back to Opus Dei[41:00] Why Gareth thinks ownership structure delayed reform[42:43] Gareth's private meeting with Pope Leo[44:26] The dossier Gareth gave the Pope[45:08] Why Gareth says the meeting went better than expected[46:15] Allegations involving minors and grooming[47:00] Opus Dei schools and elite recruitment[48:20] After-school clubs and hidden recruitment claims[49:16] Can the good message be separated from the organization?[50:44] Why Gareth thinks the founder's rules are the central problem[51:51] The problem of Escrivá's sainthood[53:00] Could the canonization process be reopened?[54:00] Opus Dei, Silicon Valley, and cult-like power structures[56:41] Peter Thiel, Stanford, and Opus Dei overlap[57:29] Closing thoughts on OpusAdditional Resources:Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church by Gareth Gore.
