Twee Duitse journalisten stuitten jaren geleden, ver voor de zaak van Gisèle Pelicot, al via de pornosite Motherless op een groot, internationaal netwerk van gebruikers die vrouwen drogeren en seksueel misbruiken. Maar met hun meldingen daarover aan de Duitse politie werd lange tijd niets gedaan. In de podcast vertellen ze hun verhaal. Hoe kan het dat er niet eerder is ingegrepen?

This week on The Geoholics, we're going underground — literally — with Itzik Malka, CEO and Co-Founder of 4M Analytics, a company helping redefine how surveyors, engineers, designers, and contractors understand the hidden world beneath our feet. If 4M is the “Google Maps of the underground,” then this conversation is all about why that matters. Kent, Peta, and the crew dig into how 4M is using AI, satellite imagery, utility records, and digital intelligence to turn scattered underground utility data into actionable insights before crews ever step foot on site. From avoiding those dreaded “oh sh*t” utility conflict moments to improving safety, reducing risk, saving money, and helping teams make smarter decisions earlier in the project lifecycle, this one hits right at the intersection of technology, field reality, and the future of infrastructure delivery. Itzik brings a global perspective, a founder's mindset, and a passion for solving one of the industry's most expensive and dangerous problems: not knowing what's underground until it's too late. Born in Israel and now leading 4M as CEO and Co-Founder, Itzik also shares a little about life beyond the platform — soccer, music, family, and the entrepreneurial drive behind building something that could change how the entire industry plans, designs, and builds. We also talk about how tools like 4M can work alongside traditional SUE, survey, CAD, GIS, drones, and scanning workflows — not as a replacement for boots on the ground, but as a way to elevate decision-making, reduce surprises, and help teams show up smarter. Bottom line: The cheapest utility you'll ever locate is the one you never hit. Dig smart, not sorry. Music by Cooper Alan!

When Is Silence Wisdom and When Is It Complicity? I Deep Dive on Ep. 279

Documentary First

When does refusing to repeat a lie become complicity in it?The hardest question in documentary filmmaking is not how to find the truth. It is how to handle a lie. When a false story is already loose in the world, you have two choices that look almost identical on the page: refuse to repeat it, or amplify it by debunking it. The discipline of knowing which is which can decide whether your film tells the truth or makes the lie stronger.In this Deep Dive on Documentary First Episode 279 with Brian Pocrass, host Christian Taylor digs into the question Brian asked on tape about how much oxygen you give a lie. The conversation took thirty minutes to arrive there, but the question turns out to be the spine of every documentary that touches a contested story. This episode traces that question through C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life under the Nazi regime, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's 1974 essay Live Not By Lies, and a two thousand year old paradox in the book of Proverbs.The spine of the episode is Brian's question on tape: "The question is, how much oxygen do you give it?" That question runs straight into a paradox the rabbis of the Talmud spent centuries arguing over. Proverbs 26:4 says do not answer a fool according to his folly. Proverbs 26:5, the very next verse, says answer a fool according to his folly. The Talmudic resolution maps directly onto the filmmaker's dilemma: the stakes determine the answer. Christian closes the episode with her own test, drawn from her film The Girl Who Wore Freedom: the story of Michel de Vallavieille, the French farmer shot in the back by an American paratrooper on D-Day, and the famous Band of Brothers rumor she refused to put on screen.In this episode, Christian explores:Why every production company wanted Brian Pocrass to tell a different version of Heather O'Rourke's story than the one he ended up makingThe C.S. Lewis principle from The Screwtape Letters that the devil cares more about attention than beliefHow debunking a conspiracy theory can give the conspiracy a brand new piece of footage to point atDietrich Bonhoeffer's argument that silence in the face of evil is itself evilAlexander Solzhenitsyn's 1974 essay Live Not By Lies and the moral discipline of refusalThe two thousand year old paradox in Proverbs 26:4-5 and how the Talmudic rabbis resolved itWhy the Talmud's answer is sacred versus mundane stakes, and what that means for documentary filmmakersThe Michel de Vallavieille story from Christian's film The Girl Who Wore FreedomThe Band of Brothers rumor about Bill Guarnere that Christian refused to put on screenThe two questions every documentary filmmaker has to weigh before they amplify a storyChapters0:00 C.S. Lewis, the Devil, and Brian Pocrass's Question0:30 How Much Oxygen Do You Give a Lie?1:28 The Screwtape Letters and the Devil's Currency2:24 Bonhoeffer: Silence in the Face of Evil Is Evil Itself3:27 Solzhenitsyn's Live Not By Lies and Proverbs 264:59 The Girl Who Wore Freedom: Bill Guarnere and My Own Test6:14 The Question I Leave You WithFrequently Asked QuestionsWhen does debunking a lie make it stronger?Researchers at Data and Society documented this dynamic in a 2018 study called The Oxygen of Amplification. Repeating a false claim in order to refute it gives the claim attention, repeats the language, and trains the algorithm to surface it more. Britannica describes this dynamic as adding oxygen to the fire of misinformation. For documentary filmmakers, this means a debunking film about a conspiracy theory can leave viewers more familiar with the conspiracy than with the truth.What did Dietrich Bonhoeffer say about silence?Bonhoeffer's most famous line on the subject is silence in the face of evil is itself evil; not to speak is to speak; not to act is to act. Bonhoeffer was a German pastor in the 1930s who watched the German church surrender to the Nazi regime. He spent his adult life arguing against the silence of fellow pastors. The Nazis executed him in April 1945. His writings on costly discipleship remain among the most cited works of twentieth century theology.What is Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Live Not By Lies about?Live Not By Lies is the essay Solzhenitsyn released on the day the KGB arrested and deported him in 1974. He argues that while a single person cannot stop a lie from being told, every person can refuse to repeat it. The refusal itself is the action. The essay is one of the foundational moral texts of the dissident movement against Soviet totalitarianism and remains widely cited in discussions of personal moral resistance.How do the rabbis of the Talmud resolve Proverbs 26:4 and 26:5?Proverbs 26:4 says do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. Proverbs 26:5 says answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. The Talmudic resolution is that the two verses apply to different kinds of stakes. When the fool is talking about something sacred, you answer. When the fool is talking about something mundane, you do not. The wisdom is in knowing which kind of stakes you are facing.How do documentary filmmakers handle conspiracy theories about their subjects?There is no industry standard. Each filmmaker has to weigh the specific story. Some choose to confront the conspiracy directly and risk amplifying it. Others refuse to give the conspiracy screen time and risk being accused of avoidance. The discipline is to ask what the documentary makes more solid in the world and who the actual audience is: the people who already believe the lie, or the people who deserve the truth.About the Source EpisodeDocumentary First Episode 279 with Brian Pocrass aired on June 9, 2026. Brian is an attorney based in Los Angeles and the producer of She Was Here, the 2026 documentary about the life and death of Heather O'Rourke.

The film centers on Danielle Patrix Van Den Heede, whose family hid GIs in the days after the invasion, and Michel de Vallavieille, the young farmer at Brecourt Manor who was shot in the back by an American paratrooper on D-Day and went on to build the Utah Beach Museum and become the mayor of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont.Website: https://thegirlwhoworefreedom.comAbout Documentary First: The Deep DiveEach week, host Christian Taylor takes an insight from a recent Documentary First filmmaker interview and explores it through literature, philosophy, theology, current culture, and the universal human experience.

Content Note: In dieser Sendung geht es um Gewalt durch Männer gegenüber Frauen. Sollte das Thema euch belasten, hört diese Folge lieber nicht allein oder zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt.Auch dieses Jahr waren wir bei der Doxumentale in Berlin und zwar beim Film "Silenced" von Selina Miles. Der Film begleitet die Menschenrechtsanwältin Jennifer Robinson bei internationalen Fällen in Australien, den USA, Lateinamerika und Südafrika. Die Fälle haben eins gemeinsam: Es geht um sexualisierte Gewalt und anschließende Verleumdungsklagen gegen die Betroffenen.Validierung statt BagatellisierungFreya Leggemann von LARA Berlin spricht mit Katrin darüber, was solche Verfahren mit Betroffenen machen. Freya arbeitet psychologisch und psychotherapeutisch im Bereich Trauma und erklärt, wie sexualisierte Gewalt psychisch wirkt und warum Betroffene häufig erst später über Erlebtes sprechen können. Rein psychologisch ist Zuspruch und Validierung zentral für Betroffene - doch nicht immer erhalten sie das von ihrem Umfeld und erst recht nicht im Rechtssystem. Viele Opfer sehen sich mit Bagatellisierung und Schuldzuweisungen konfrontiert, was sie zusätzlich belasten kann.Das "perfekte Opfer" gibt es nichtAußerdem geht es um patriarchale Erzählungen, die bestimmen, wie eine betroffene Person „sein“ soll. Wie sollte sie sich anziehen, wie "darf" sich ein Opfer verhalten? Und wie genau nicht? Freya zeigt, warum diese Vorstellungen in vielen Fällen an der Realität vorbeigehen.An den Beispielen von Brittany Higgins, Amber Heard und Gisèle Pelicot sprechen Katrin und Freya über Scham, ob sie wirklich die Seite gewechselt hat und warum Gerechtigkeit schwer zu erlangen ist.Was Betroffene tun können, wie Organisationen wie LARA sie unterstützen können und wie eine bessere Zukunft aussehen könnte, in der früh mit der Prävention von sexualisierter Gewalt begonnen würde - alles das hört ihr in dieser Folge!Danke an jede*n von Euch, der den Lila-Podcast bereits unterstützt und uns damit über Wasser hältSeit 2026 zahlen wir höhere Gehälter, um die Zeit und den Aufwand, den unsere Hosts in die Folgen investieren, auch gebührend bezahlt bekommen.

While filming a new documentary in Los Angeles, a story from Japan caught my attention and I keep thinking about it. It's the story of 20-year-old Auburn University student James "Weston" Higginbotham, a young man who disappeared during a family trip to Japan and was later found deceased after an extensive search in the mountains outside Kyoto. This isn't a video about assigning blame or creating theories unsupported by evidence. It's a discussion about victimology, missing person investigations, GIS technology, volunteer search efforts, emotional distress, mental health awareness, and the painful reality that families are often left carrying questions that may never be fully answered.We'll examine what is publicly known about Weston, why this case resonates with so many people, what investigators can learn from the search effort, and why loved ones should never carry the burden of believing they could have controlled another person's choices.#WestonHigginbotham #MissingInJapan #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #GriefAndLoss #FamilySupport #MissingPersons #SearchAndRescue #SAR #Victimology #HumanBehavior #BehavioralAnalysis #InvestigativeAnalysis #GIS #PublicSafety #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrime #AuburnUniversity #Kyoto #ProfilingEvil #esri ========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode of the Living to 100 Club, Dr. Joe Casciani speaks with Amanda Montague of Carleton University about her innovative, community-based research on social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Also on the program is Anna Cuylits, Chair of the Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). Working closely with Anna's group in Ottawa, Amanda used participatory methods—including workshops, digital storytelling, and social network mapping—to better understand how older adults experience connection in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on isolation, the project explored what helps people feel connected, revealing an important insight: loneliness may be more prevalent—and more complex—than social isolation alone. Their conversation highlights how social connection is shaped not just by relationships, but also by the design of communities—walkable spaces, accessible transportation, and simple features like places to rest. To better understand social connection in older adults, they also explore the role of informal networks of care, community partnerships, and the need for better coordination among organizations that support aging in place. This episode offers practical insights for professionals, caregivers, and communities seeking to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps to strengthen connection and well-being in later life. Mini Bios Amanda Montague Amanda received her PhD from the University of Ottawa in 2019. Her dissertation, Mobile Memories: Canadian Cultural Memory in the Digital Age, explored how mobile technologies and locative media shape everyday experiences of memory and place. From 2019 to 2022, she held a postdoctoral fellowship in Digital Storytelling at the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship at McMaster University, where she collaborated with librarians and information specialists to support digital scholarship through teaching, consultations, and digital tool workshops. She later joined McMaster's Office of Community Engagement as an Educational Developer for Community-Engaged Teaching and Learning. Amanda has extensive experience developing community-engaged and experiential learning courses as an instructor, collaborator, and consultant. Since 2016, she has designed projects in digital humanities that promote creativity, collaboration, and community-building. Her work has included supporting students in developing community storytelling projects using tools such as podcasting, digital exhibits, mapping, GIS, and social media. In her current role at Carleton University as Postdoctoral Fellow for Community Engaged Digital Humanities and StudioDH, Amanda continues to advance interdisciplinary, community-driven digital scholarship while fostering equitable co-teaching and co-learning environments for students, instructors, and community members. Anna Cuylits Anna is Chair of OSCA Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). She retired in 2012 after a 40-year career in community and hospital social work. Wanting to age in place in her inner urban community of Old Ottawa South, Anna and other residents recognized barriers to healthy aging and independent living. In 2018, they founded SWOOS to raise awareness and advocate for improvements in healthcare, housing, social connection, and winter walkability. Under Anna's leadership, SWOOS has published dozens of articles on safe and healthy aging, conducted winter walkability audits to support advocacy for improved city maintenance standards, helped support development of the Seniors Health Innovations Hub, and successfully advocated for community improvements including an intergenerational chat bench and an additional city bus stop. SWOOS also received a 2024 Community Builders Award and is currently collaborating with Carleton University on projects examining social connections and barriers affecting older adults. Anna graduated from the Academy of Social Sciences and Social Work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and has held professional social work registrations in British Columbia, Ontario, and nationally in Canada. In 2025, she received the Ontario Senior Achievement Award. Link to Ottawa South Social Connections Project

In this episode of the Living to 100 Club, Dr. Joe Casciani speaks with Amanda Montague of Carleton University about her innovative, community-based research on social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Also on the program is Anna Cuylits, Chair of the Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). Working closely with Anna's group in Ottawa, Amanda used participatory methods—including workshops, digital storytelling, and social network mapping—to better understand how older adults experience connection in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on isolation, the project explored what helps people feel connected, revealing an important insight: loneliness may be more prevalent—and more complex—than social isolation alone. Their conversation highlights how social connection is shaped not just by relationships, but also by the design of communities—walkable spaces, accessible transportation, and simple features like places to rest. To better understand social connection in older adults, they also explore the role of informal networks of care, community partnerships, and the need for better coordination among organizations that support aging in place. This episode offers practical insights for professionals, caregivers, and communities seeking to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps to strengthen connection and well-being in later life. Mini Bios Amanda Montague Amanda received her PhD from the University of Ottawa in 2019. Her dissertation, Mobile Memories: Canadian Cultural Memory in the Digital Age, explored how mobile technologies and locative media shape everyday experiences of memory and place. From 2019 to 2022, she held a postdoctoral fellowship in Digital Storytelling at the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship at McMaster University, where she collaborated with librarians and information specialists to support digital scholarship through teaching, consultations, and digital tool workshops. She later joined McMaster's Office of Community Engagement as an Educational Developer for Community-Engaged Teaching and Learning. Amanda has extensive experience developing community-engaged and experiential learning courses as an instructor, collaborator, and consultant. Since 2016, she has designed projects in digital humanities that promote creativity, collaboration, and community-building. Her work has included supporting students in developing community storytelling projects using tools such as podcasting, digital exhibits, mapping, GIS, and social media. In her current role at Carleton University as Postdoctoral Fellow for Community Engaged Digital Humanities and StudioDH, Amanda continues to advance interdisciplinary, community-driven digital scholarship while fostering equitable co-teaching and co-learning environments for students, instructors, and community members. Anna Cuylits Anna is Chair of OSCA Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). She retired in 2012 after a 40-year career in community and hospital social work. Wanting to age in place in her inner urban community of Old Ottawa South, Anna and other residents recognized barriers to healthy aging and independent living. In 2018, they founded SWOOS to raise awareness and advocate for improvements in healthcare, housing, social connection, and winter walkability. Under Anna's leadership, SWOOS has published dozens of articles on safe and healthy aging, conducted winter walkability audits to support advocacy for improved city maintenance standards, helped support development of the Seniors Health Innovations Hub, and successfully advocated for community improvements including an intergenerational chat bench and an additional city bus stop. SWOOS also received a 2024 Community Builders Award and is currently collaborating with Carleton University on projects examining social connections and barriers affecting older adults. Anna graduated from the Academy of Social Sciences and Social Work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and has held professional social work registrations in British Columbia, Ontario, and nationally in Canada. In 2025, she received the Ontario Senior Achievement Award. Link to Ottawa South Social Connections Project

On the periphery of Alexandria in the surrounding countryside is the Lake Maryut region, a vast expanse of flat agricultural land that used to be Lake Maryut, now just 18% of its earlier size. The lake separated the city of Alexandria from the rest of the country further south. Yet despite the shrinking of the lake and integration of the rural hinterland with the city during the 20th century the countryside and the cultural heritage that it contains remains under appreciated in Alexandria, as well as in Cairo and further afield. In this episode, Ismael Awad discusses his recent Barakat funded project that surveyed, documented, and photographed the shrines of the Lake Mayrut region and explains their importance to the cultural heritage of Egypt generally and Alexandria specifically.Ismael Awad is a geographer, cartographer, and GIS research specialist at the Centre d'Études Alexandrines.

You may have seen headlines in recent weeks about a deeply shocking French court case. A man has admitted drugging his wife with powerful sedatives over a period of a decade and inviting as many as 80 local men to rape her during that time.  Due to the effects of the drugs she had been subjected to, the woman Gisèle Pélicot, had no idea of what was happening to her. The case has led to increased awareness of chemical submission, which is a type of drug-facilitated crime. It's defined by the Spanish Journal of Legal Medicine as “the use of chemical substances to manipulate the will of a person, producing incapacity or unconsciousness that facilitates criminal action.” Is that like spiking drinks with GHB?

“Make climate futures visible - We have to show positive change!” In this episode, Craig speaks with landscape architect, researcher, and educator Nadia Amoroso about the power of visual communication in shaping climate action. Drawing from her latest book, Representing Landscapes: Visualizing Climate Action, Nadia explores how drawings, mapping, and storytelling can help communities better understand environmental change and imagine more hopeful futures. “Visualization isn't just representational, it's an instrument.” Nadia reflects on how her early interest in architecture evolved into a fascination with public spaces, environmental systems, and the larger ecological forces shaping cities and landscapes. Over time, this led her toward a career focused on visual communication in landscape architecture and climate adaptation. The conversation also traces the origins of Nadia's influential Representing Landscapes book series, which began nearly 15 years ago as a response to a gap in design education. At the time, students had limited access to examples of innovative representation techniques for wetlands, infrastructure, public spaces, and complex ecological systems. “How do we make invisible systems visible?” How do we make invisible systems visible? A central theme of the episode is that effective climate action depends on effective communication. Nadia explains that many of the most important environmental systems such as hydrology, biodiversity, sea level rise, and ecological change are often hidden from public view. “A strong design that isn't understood can never be realized. Make your drawings compelling!” Nadia highlights several international firms featured in Nadia's book, including Stoss Landscape Urbanism, SCAPE Studio, and Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners, whose visualizations help communicate climate adaptation, biodiversity, and resilient futures in compelling and accessible ways. Nadia also discusses the growing importance of: • Nature-based solutions • Green infrastructure • GIS and geospatial mapping • Artificial intelligence and predictive modeling • Collaboration across disciplines A recurring theme throughout the conversation is the need to move beyond fear-based climate narratives and instead communicate optimistic and achievable futures. For designers, planners, and citizens alike, Nadia encourages people to become stronger storytellers - making climate futures visible through drawings, maps, design work, and public engagement. Book Recommendations from Nadia Amoroso • Projective Ecologies – Chris Reed & Nina-Marie Lister • Landscape Urbanism Reader – Charles Waldheim • Taking Measures Across the American Landscape – James Corner & Alex MacLean A Call to Action “Make climate futures visible.” Nadia's message is ultimately about communication, collaboration, and imagination. Whether through design, policy, or public engagement, she believes we must become better at visualizing and communicating positive environmental futures.

Dans le «procès d'une vie», Barbara Lamballais et Karina Testa reviennent sur le combat de Gisèle Halimi lors du procès de Bobigny en 1972... Le spectacle vient d'être récompensé à trois reprises, lors de la dernière cérémonie des Molières.  Automne 1972 : au cours d'un procès retentissant, l'avocate Gisèle Halimi obtient la relaxe pour Marie-Claire Chevallier accusée d'avoir avorté, ce qui en ces années-là était interdit par la loi, mais aussi pour sa mère et la femme qui avait pratiqué de manière clandestine cette interruption de grossesse. Ce fut un tournant pour l'histoire des femmes et l'histoire du droit. C'est à partir de cet évènement que Barbara Lamballais et Karina Testa ont écrit Le procès d'une vie.  Un texte écrit à quatre mains dont l'écriture a été initiée en 2018 alors que Gisèle Halimi était encore en vie. Un spectacle très documenté sur les faits : elles ont fait appel à des professionnels de la justice pour bien comprendre tous les tenants et aboutissants de l'affaire.  En août 1971 : Marie-Claire Chevalier, jeune est âgée de 16 ans. Jeune fille isssue d'un milieu populaire, elle est violée par un élève de son lycée âgé de 18 ans. Elle se retrouve alors enceinte et elle demande à sa mère de l'aider à avorter : l'avortement est alors illégal et passible de cinq ans de prison.  De son côté, son violeur est arêté pour une affaire de vol de voiture ; il dénonce Marie‑Claire Chevalier pour avortement clandestin, espérant ainsi obtenir un traitement plus favorable de la justice. Elle est alors poursuivie ainsi que sa mère et les femmes qui l'ont aidée. L'avocate Gisèle Halimi décide de faire de ce procès un acte politique en dénonçant publiquement l'injustice de la loi anti-avortement et en montrant que ce sont surtout les femmes les plus modestes qui en souffrent. Ce procès devient un événement médiatique majeur et suscite un large mouvement de soutien : intellectuels, médecins, militants et une partie de l'opinion se mobilisent. Marie‑Claire est finalement relaxée, et les autres prévenues reçoivent des peines symboliques. L'affaire de Bobigny joue un rôle décisif dans l'évolution des mentalités et prépare le terrain à la loi Veil de 1975, qui dépénalise l'IVG en France. Le spectacle raconte donc un procès, mais aussi un pan de l'histoire de la société française....  Invitées : Barbara Lamballais, autrice et metteuse en scène de la pièce Le procès d'une vie Karina Testa, autrice et comédienne de Le procès d'une vie.    À voir au Théâtre du Splendid jusqu'en janvier 2027.

Geographic information systems, remote sensing, and spatial data are becoming everyday tools for forestry and natural resource management. In this episode of Timber University, Dr. Michael Crosby from Louisiana Tech University joins us to discuss how GIS can help foresters, landowners, students, and natural resource professionals better understand forests, make maps, analyze management decisions, and connect field observations to landscape-scale patterns. Dr. Crosby is an Associate Professor in Louisiana Tech's School of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry, where his work connects forestry, spatial modeling, forest health, invasive species, weather, and climate. He has also co-authored Geographic Information System Skills for Foresters and Natural Resource Managers, a textbook focused on helping foresters and land managers apply GIS to real-world data and management problems. In this conversation, we discuss why GIS matters in modern forestry and how mapping tools can move beyond "pretty pictures" into practical decision support. Dr. Crosby explains how spatial data can help answer questions about forest condition, access, disturbance, risk, invasive species, and management planning. The episode also touches on how students and working professionals can build confidence with GIS, even if they are not coming from a technical background. We also discuss the growing role of remote sensing, aerial imagery, and spatial analysis in forestry education and practice. From identifying patterns on the landscape to supporting better field decisions, these tools are increasingly important for foresters, land managers, consultants, researchers, and students preparing to work in natural resources. This episode is a useful listen for forestry students, consulting foresters, land managers, extension professionals, GIS users, and anyone interested in how spatial tools are changing the way we understand and manage forests.

C dans l'air du 16 mai 2026 - Affaire Patrick BruelElle sort de l'ombre. Flavie Flament a dévoilé hier avoir déposé plainte contre Patrick Bruel. Elle l'accuse d'avoir commis un viol en 1991, alors qu'elle avait 16 ans. La célèbre animatrice faisait partie des femmes ayant témoigné dans Mediapart sous pseudonyme. Sur ce même média, elle s'exprime désormais à visage découvert : “Je parle pour la jeune fille que j'étais, je parle pour les autres femmes qui sont sorties du silence”.Le chanteur, déjà visé par des dizaines de témoignages de violences sexuelles, réfute toutes ces accusations. Alors qu'il doit prochainement débuter une tournée, 120 collectifs féministes français, suisses, belges, ou encore canadiens appellent dans une tribune ses programmateurs et les élus locaux à annuler ses concerts.L'actrice Adèle Haenel est une autre de ces femmes à être sortie du silence. C'était il y a six ans. Elle accusait le réalisateur de cinéma Christophe Ruggia de l'avoir agressée sexuellement lorsqu'elle était âgée de 12 à 14 ans. Le 17 avril, la cour d'appel de Paris a condamné ce dernier à 5 ans de prison, dont 2 ans ferme. Une peine qu'il devra purger sous bracelet électronique. À l'issue de cette condamnation, Adèle Haenel en appelait sur le plateau de C dans l'air à un profond changement de société pour que toutes les enfances soient “viables”.Un an et demi après le verdict du retentissant procès Pélicot, les professionnels de santé se disent davantage sensibilisés à la détection de la soumission chimique. Il s'agit de l'administration à l'insu de la victime, sous la menace ou par la force, d'une substance psychoactive pour altérer son discernement ou le contrôle de ses actes dans le but de commettre contre elle un acte criminel ou délictuel. C'est par ce mode opératoire que Gisèle Pélicot a été abusée. Depuis le procès, la vigilance s'est accrue, tout comme les demandes de formation.Nos experts :- Cécile OLLIVIER - Grand reporter police/justice – « ELLE »- EMMANUELLE ANIZON - Grand reporter - « Le Nouvel Obs »- Johanna ROZENBLUM - Psychologue- MOURAD BATTIKH - Avocat pénaliste au barreau de Paris

ToxiMapp aggregates over 60 geospatial environmental datasets to show users exactly which toxicants are present in the air, water, and soil near any U.S. address, and the platform's founders say most people have no idea what surrounds them.Deb Hordon, Ph.D., founder and CEO of ToxiMapp, built the platform after moving her infant daughter into two separate communities with cancer clusters. Neither location looked dangerous. One was a picturesque seacoast area between Maine and New Hampshire with expensive real estate and top-rated schools. The data told a different story. Peter Cada, chief environmental scientist at ToxiMapp and an instructor at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment, joined to build the underlying data infrastructure, drawing on his prior work contributing to the EPA's EnviroAtlas.The episode covers how ToxiMapp's patent-pending toxin intensity scoring system works across air, water, and land media; why the platform is positioned as a shortcut for Phase I environmental site assessments and NEPA reviews; how partnerships with healthcare providers and diagnostic labs like Mosaic Diagnostics connect environmental exposure data to clinical testing; and what the roadmap looks like as the platform approaches 1,900 tracked toxicants and adds surface water and expanded air quality datasets.The conversation also addresses PFAS contamination, the ethics of publishing environmental data near residential properties, crowdsourcing as a future data collection strategy, and the platform's current pricing model starting at $19.99 per address search.#EnvironmentalHealth #ToxiMapp #toxins #data #mapping #environment #riskmanagement #pfas TAGS:environmental toxins map, toxic neighborhood score, environmental site assessment tool, PFAS tracking, EPA ECHO alternative, EnviroAtlas, Mosaic Diagnostics, cancer cluster, environmental intelligence platform, geospatial environmental data, phase one ESA, brownfield sites, Superfund sites, environmental consulting tools, air water soil contamination, environmental health podcast, GIS environmental analysisLearn more at https://www.toximapp.com/Thanks to our Sponsors: Cascade Environmental, E-Tank & E-Pump, and WASTELINQ

For nearly a decade, her husband, Dominique Pelicot, drugged her into unconsciousness and invited dozens of men into their home meticulously documenting the abuse along the way. What began as a seemingly minor incident in a French supermarket unraveled into one of the most disturbing cases of systemic betrayal in recent history.But this story is not about him.It is about Gisèle, who refused to remain anonymous and who made one thing clear: Shame must change sides.In this milestone episode, we examine:The Pelicot Timeline: From the first red flags to the historic trial in Avignon.The Digital Blueprint: How forensic evidence exposed a hidden, global network of “everyday” perpetrators.The Lived Aftermath: Firsthand insights into the experiences of survivors like Zoe Watts, Amanda Stanhope, and Valentina.The "Pelicot Effect": How this case is fundamentally reshaping the legal definition of consent.This episode is dedicated to the survivors, to those who have had to reclaim their bodies, their autonomy, and their stories from the shadows.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of sexual assault and drug-facilitated abuse.

CNN spent months undercover inside a network where men teach each other how to drug, rape, and film the assault of their own wives. The website at the center of it had 62 million visits in one month. Most from the US. It is still live.Robin breaks down the full investigation: the Telegram groups where thousands of men workshop sedative dosages and livestream assaults for paying audiences. Why perpetrators are choosing Ambien specifically because it doesn't show up on standard drug panels. The stories of three survivors, all assaulted by the men they were married to. The connection to the Gisèle Pelicot case. The radicalization pipeline from pick up artist culture to Red Pill ideology to Telegram rape groups to TikTok "training in case she says no" videos. Why Section 230 protects the platform. Why a 20 year old woman in Brazil was stabbed 50 times for declining a date. Why women on Threads are naming their rapists. And why the bear was right all along.If this episode hits you, share it. Send it to someone who needs to hear it. You know who.Robin doesn't do fair.

“Beef,” “The Drama,” and the New Marriage Plot

In 2019, marriage rates in the United States hit their lowest point in a hundred and forty years. They still haven't rebounded. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider how recent cultural offerings mirror this increasing dissatisfaction with matrimony. They discuss the new season of the Netflix anthology show “Beef,” which centers on two couples locked in a feud that gradually exposes the cracks in each relationship, and the A24 film “The Drama,” about a wedding that goes off the rails in spectacular fashion. They also consider real-life examples, including Lindy West's recent memoir, “Adult Braces,” which has sparked a flurry of discourse about polyamory and open marriages. As such alternative ways of organizing our love lives enter the mainstream, the narrative around one of our oldest institutions is shifting, too. “I think we're in a place where we're trying to make marriage seem more like a positive choice, rather than an obvious obligation,” Schwartz says. “It's a fascinating fiction that those who get married subscribe to, hoping that the fiction becomes true.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Beef” (2023-)“The White Lotus” (2021-)“The Drama” (2026)“Strangers,” by Belle Burden“A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides,” by Gisèle Pelicot“Madame Bovary,” by Gustave Flaubert“Parallel Lives,” by Phyllis Rose“Adult Braces,” by Lindy WestNew episodes drop every Thursday.
