Cynthia Garcia's story is one of the most powerful Marine Corps stories you'll ever hear. As a single mom, she ran into a Marine recruiting office seeking protection — and that moment changed her life forever. Today, she's an active-duty United States Marine Staff Sergeant, but her journey through Marine boot camp, recruiting duty, deployment, and motherhood was anything but easy.In today's Urban Valor Episode, we look into what it really takes to become a female Marine, the mental battles of Marine Corps boot camp, the pressure of being a mother in uniform, and how the Marines gave her something she never had before — belonging.Cynthia enlisted in 2014 after struggling with identity, self-doubt, and adversity. She almost quit during the final hike at boot camp. She faced harsh leadership in the fleet. She served on deployment in Africa and the Middle East. She became a Marine recruiter and helped change the lives of dozens of young men and women — some of whom credit her for saving their lives.But this story goes deeper.From nearly stepping out of formation at the Crucible…To becoming the very leader others depend on…To raising a daughter diagnosed with a rare genetic condition while serving on active duty…Cynthia didn't join for glory.She joined because she needed protection.And she never left!

Maya Jade Frank joins the podcast to share the fascinating journey of a career that began with a serendipitous audition for her sister's project and led her to the Broadway stages of Evita and Mary Poppins. She opens up about the unique experience of growing up on the road with the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables, where she balanced three hours of daily schooling with visits to historical monuments and backstage "Docu-drama" marathons. Maya discusses the transition from being a child actor in New York to a Disney Channel star in Los Angeles, reflecting on how her supportive, non-theatre parents helped her stay grounded while she pursued a "normal" college experience at USC. The conversation dives deep into Maya's impressive ability to merge her creative passions with a sharp business mind. Beyond her current starring role as Zoe Murphy in the South Florida premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, she reveals the inner workings of her digital media company, Mangoes and Bubblegum, and her work as a global Pilates instructor. From her "morning jump around" ritual to early 2000s pop punk to her dreams of performing Shakespeare at the Globe, Maya exemplifies a modern multi-hyphenate artist who prioritizes physical health and analytical data just as much as her vocal warm-ups. Maya Jade Frank is a New York City native whose extensive credits include the Broadway revival of Evita, the final Broadway cast of Mary Poppins, and the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables. She received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on Nickelodeon's History and Heritage and appeared on Disney Channel's Bizaardvark. A graduate of the University of Southern California and the Royal Academy of Music in London, her recent stage work includes Next to Normal and the UK revival of Be More Chill. She is currently appearing in Dear Evan Hansen at the Actors' Playhouse in Coral Gables.

It began with three executives from the CAAT Pension Plan raising concerns over a $1.6-million vacation payout and a relationship between the CEO and an employee. That has now led to a ‘full-blown crisis over governance,' with nearly all of the senior leadership team changed or gone, including the long-standing CEO who's on administrative leave. The Globe's institutional investing reporter James Bradshaw has been covering the turmoil at CAAT. Today, he explains how these issues led to such turbulence and why it's so important to have steady leadership at one of Canada's big pension plans. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Slowly but surely – and just in time for the State of the Union – the full picture of the Trump Administration's Most-Favoured Nations drug pricing policy is coming into focus. At the end of last year, CMS published the draft guidance for its GLOBE and GUARD pricing models, which establish MFN pricing in Medicare Part B and Part D, respectively. And earlier this month TrumpRx – the government's promised patient-facing discount portal – finally went live. On today's podcast, Jonah Comstock is joined by Alice Valder Curran, a partner at Hogan Lovells and a healthcare policy expert, to break down what we know and what we still don't know about each of these developments. Among other things, Valder Curran breaks down how the two CMS pilot programmes will work, what statutory authority CMS is leaning on (and whether that authority is likely to be challenged), and how the industry is responding. Comstock and Valder Curran also discuss TrumpRx and how impactful it's shaping up to be, at least based on what's been revealed so far. And how do those negotiated MFN deals fit in to all this? We can't give you the answers to all your questions about MFN – too much is still up in the air. But this podcast will at least give you an idea of what those open questions are and how they're likely to play out.

In the news cycle, an elderly woman attempting to poison her husband would have garnered a pretty small amount of attention from the press, then faded away when a larger story came along. But it didn't take long for the press to learn that the poisoning of Melissa Ann Shepard's new husband wasn't  the first time she had been suspected or convicted of attempted murder. In fact, Melissa Ann Shepard had a criminal history in two countries that went back decades, including many crimes that were very similar to the one she had just perpetrated only with a much worse outcome.

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** For H-Hour #279 I welcome back “Bags,” a former Royal Tank Regiment officer and military advisor for film, TV, and theatre, where we discuss reviving TV/film episodes—starting with a tank-film theme—and how cavalry and tank regiments evolved from WWI to today. Bags discusses his ongoing advisory role on Rogue Heroes (including season three's production challenges, schedule compression, and historical-accuracy debates), the mixed military reaction to season one, and his views on the portrayal of Paddy Mayne while balancing authenticity against storytelling, budget, and time. The conversation ranges through theater work at the Globe, the appeal of live performance and improvisation, ticket pricing and ways to find cheaper seats, and how streaming has reshaped pay—especially the loss of residuals and disputes like Scarlett Johansson's—alongside Netflix's “second screening” influence and attention spans. We trade film recommendations and reflections and then address patron questions about how much productions act on military advice and whether media shapes public perceptions of war. The episode ends with a discussion of UK defence readiness, reliance on allies, and Bags' new role at a British engineering firm building UGVs (uncrewed ground vehicles), plus thoughts on future instability, potential reserve service, and legacy prosecutions related to Northern Ireland.

Once again, Prime Minister Mark Carney has convinced a Conservative to cross the floor and join his Liberal Party — the third MP to do so in just a few months. And it comes as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tries to manage the fallout from a caucus member's trip to Washington. The National Post's Stuart Thomson and the Globe and Mail's Shannon Proudfoot take a look at Poilievre's mounting challenges and how close the Liberals may be to a majority.Plus, the U.S Supreme Court ruled this week that Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping emergency tariffs on trading partners, but the president says he won't back down. Brian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, joins Catherine Cullen to discuss whether the ruling will help — or hurt — Canada.Next, the government announced its long-awaited defence industrial strategy this week, with ambitious goals to boost exports, create 125,000 jobs and award 70 per cent of defence contracts to Canadian companies. But will it mean Canadian troops get the equipment they need? The House visits a local Ottawa defence tech company for their take; CBC's senior defence writer Murray Brewster breaks down the government's plans; and Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr discusses the road ahead.And New Democrats are entering the final stretch of their federal leadership race as five contenders took the stage in B.C.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author KJ Aiello about their book, The Monster and the Mirror: Mental Illness, Magic, and the Stories We Tell (ECW Press, 2024). Revelatory memoir and cultural criticism that connects popular fantasy and our perceptions of mental illness to offer an empathetic path to compassionate care Growing up, K.J. Aiello was fascinated by magical stories of dragons, wizards, and fantasy, where monsters were not what they seemed and anything was possible. These books and films were both a balm and an escape, a safe space where Aiello's struggle with mental illness transformed from a burden into a strength that could win battles and vanquish villains. A unique blend of memoir, research, and cultural criticism, The Monster and the Mirror charts Aiello's life as they try to understand their own mental illness using The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and other stories as both guides to heroism and agency and cautionary tales of how mental illness is easily stereotyped as bad and violent. Aiello questions who is allowed to be “mad” versus “sane,” “good” versus “evil,” and “weak” versus “strong,” and who is allowed to tell their own stories. The Monster and the Mirror explores our perceptions of mental illness in a way that is challenging and tender, empathetic and knowledgeable, and offers a path to deeper understanding and compassionate care. K.J. Aiello is a mentally ill, award-winning writer based in Toronto, ON. Their work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, Toronto Life, Chatelaine, The Walrus, and This Magazine.

The Globe exclusively reported that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford discussed the possibility of a snap federal election this spring. The next federal election is scheduled for no later than 2029, though historically, minority governments usually last around two years. But just how realistic is this speculation of another election?Laura Stone, who broke the story, and Shannon Proudfoot, a feature writer and columnist based in Ottawa, join host Sherrill Sutherland for a political roundtable about whether Canadians will head to the polls this spring.Questions?

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Nana Asomani-Poku in Jamestown, Accra during a walking tour through featuring stories told in images by Glocal Citizen, James Barnor. It was during the James Barnor @‌95 celebration in 2024. Nana, a UK-born Ghanaian legal professional, filmmaker, and community engagement specialist based in Australia was back in Ghana for a family celebration of his own. As we chatted along the route, he mentioned his work centering social impact in Australia and my curiosity was peaked. What you'll learn in this conversation spans how he began his career as a legal advocate for asylum seekers and refugees with the UK's largest not-for-profit immigration law firm to community and stakeholder engagement, building bridges between public sector organisations and marginalised communities in Australia. Alongside his human rights work, he pursued his passion for filmmaking, training at the New York Film Academy and going on to make his first feature film, Drawn. Let's travel with Nana, to get to know more about his land down under and other stops across the globe. Where to find Nana? On IMDB On Instagram What's Nana listening to? Whitney Houston, Al Green, The Jacksons, to name a few.

Episode 406: It was a bright Sunday late-morning, on May 31, 2015, in Calgary, Alberta, when a passerby heard a bang inside an airport‑area parkade and saw smoke pouring from the trunk of a black Acura. The car was still running, licence plate gone, still aflame as firefighters moved in, and a bystander quietly filmed a lone man walking away, glancing back at the burning vehicle. When investigators opened the doors, they found no driver, but blood soaked into the driver's seat, the door, and the back seat, telling them someone had bled heavily inside that car. The Acura was registered to a 42‑year‑old limo driver, Dwayne Demkiw, who lived three hours north in Edmonton and hadn't been seen since he finished a late shift around 4 a.m. that same morning. While his friends frantically called his phone and posted online, police in two cities were starting to realize they might be dealing with something far worse than a stolen car.

Dans cette ville du département de l'Artibonite, les infrastructures publiques sont laissées à l'abandon. Pour tenter d'enrayer leur dégradation, les associations, soutenues par la diaspora prennent en charge les travaux. La Patrie en danger, une organisation de citoyens des Gonaïves vivant à l'étranger, a lancé l'année dernière (2025) des travaux de réaménagement de la Place d'Armes des Gonaïves. Ce lieu revêt une importance symbolique majeure dans l'histoire nationale : c'est là que les héros de l'armée indigène ont proclamé l'indépendance d'Haïti, le 1er janvier 1804. Plus récemment, un autre groupe de citoyens a entrepris la réhabilitation d'un terrain de football de la ville. Ce terrain est notamment utilisé durant les vacances estivales pour l'organisation de compétitions de football interquartiers, très prisées par la jeunesse locale. Ces chantiers n'ont bénéficié d'aucun support financier de la part des autorités locales. Un reportage de notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Ronel Paul.   La peur de l'embrasement nucléaire Aux États-Unis, la presse revient sur l'expiration de New Start, le dernier traité qui encadrait les arsenaux nucléaires états-uniens et russes. C'était dans la nuit du 4 au 5 février 2026. « Le traité New Start n'était pas un remède miracle, mais il a contribué à la sécurité du monde », estime le sénateur démocrate Mark Kelly dans le Washington Post. « Si vous voulez la paix, ne perdez pas la course à l'armement nucléaire », rétorque son collègue républicain Mark Cotton dans le Wall Street Journal. Le New York Times, de son côté, lance l'alerte : « Donald Trump risque de déclencher un incendie nucléaire ». « Plutôt que de préserver la stabilité qui règne depuis un demi-siècle, l'administration envisage de déployer plus d'armes nucléaires et, peut-être de manière plus imprudente, la reprise des essais nucléaires souterrains », écrit le quotidien. Alors, comme souvent face à la politique de Donald Trump, il en appelle au Congrès : « À une époque où les tensions s'intensifient et les traités se délitent, laisser le sort du monde entre les mains d'une seule personne, quelle qu'elle soit, est un risque qu'aucune démocratie ne devrait tolérer. »   Vers un abaissement de l'âge de la responsabilité pénale en Argentine En Argentine, les députés ont voté jeudi dernier (12 février) en faveur de l'abaissement de l'âge de la responsabilité pénale. Elle passe de 16 à 14 ans. Pour Jimena Villareal, ce projet de loi est parfaitement absurde. Elle aurait pourtant toutes les raisons d'y être favorables. Il y a deux ans, le 29 février 2024, son mari a été tué par deux ados de 17 et 14 ans qui voulaient lui voler sa moto. Mais Jimena, que Pagina12 a rencontrée, connaît la réalité des choses. Elle est psychologue, spécialisée dans l'enfance et l'adolescence. Elle a travaillé dans des quartiers populaires. Et elle en est persuadée : « Personne ne devient un meurtrier comme ça, d'un coup. C'est la conséquence d'un long processus marqué par l'abandon. Ceux qui vont aller en prison sont tous pauvres. Ils seront placés dans une institution où on les oubliera jusqu'à ce qu'ils en ressortent. » Ce qui met aussi en colère Jimena, c'est le budget prévu pour financer les futurs centres de détention : plus de 23 milliards de pesos – l'équivalent de 14 millions d'euros. « Ce serait formidable, dit-elle, qu'ils investissent cet argent dans des lieux où ces enfants pourraient trouver de l'humanité, plutôt que dans des prisons où ils deviendront de vrais criminels. »   Tumbler Ridge aspire à retrouver une vie normale Au Canada, la petite ville de Tumbler Ridge, en Colombie britannique, panse ses plaies. Cette bourgade sans histoire s'est retrouvée au cœur de l'actualité après une fusillade dans un lycée. Cinq élèves et un professeur tués par une jeune femme de 18 ans qui s'est donné la mort. C'était mardi dernier. (10 février 2026) Aux États-Unis, ces tueries de masse sont malheureusement fréquentes. Mais de ce côté-ci de la frontière, c'est tout le contraire. Si bien que tout d'un coup, Tumbler Ridge a vu affluer des enquêteurs, des journalistes, des bénévoles d'une église évangélique... Tant de monde que les restaurants et les cafés se sont vite retrouvés débordés. Le point culminant, ç'a été vendredi, quand les politiques sont venus au chevet de la ville meurtrie. Le Premier ministre Mark Carney, le chef de l'opposition Pierre Poilievre... Le lendemain, tout le monde était parti. À part quelques reporters, dont celle du Globe and Mail  qui nous raconte comment, après le choc, Tumbler Ridge tente aujourd'hui de retrouver une vie normale. Le célébrissime carnaval de Rio commence ce lundi (16 février 2026) au Brésil. Une semaine de fêtes qui, chaque année, font l'objet de tentatives de récupération par le pouvoir. Des tentatives malvenues, d'autant que le carnaval est lui aussi un reflet des appétits commerciaux et des inégalités très fortes qui fracturent le Brésil. Un reportage de notre correspondante à Rio de Janeiro, Sarah Cozzolino.

Judging production design means considering not just what we see, but how an entire world was constructed to function on screen. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Bob Shaw (Production Designer), Regina Graves (Set Decorator), and Kerry Weeks (Leadman) to examine the nominees for Achievement in Production Design at the 98th Academy Awards. Representing three distinct roles within the art department, they offer a grounded, practical look at how these films constructed their environments — from large-scale builds to the smallest graphic detail. As with the rest of this year's Oscar series, the conversation is available both as an audio podcast and as a full video episode on YouTube. Our discussion ranges across: The operatic scale and extensive builds of Frankenstein, from castle interiors to laboratory design — and whether grandeur ultimately serves or overwhelms the story The period authenticity of Hamnet, including the recreation of Shakespeare's Globe and the delicate balance between research and creative interpretation The layered Lower East Side streets of Marty Supreme, where signage, storefront graphics, and textural detail quietly anchor a frenetic narrative The cohesive, character-driven environments of One Battle After Another, where homes, dojos, and lived-in interiors feel organic rather than theatrical The tonal shift in Sinners, and the ongoing challenge of aging sets just enough — especially when audience expectations of “period” don't always align with historical reality How decisions about wear, grit, and cleanliness can subtly shape credibility without drawing attention to themselves Why contemporary or less “showy” films like Black Bag are often overlooked despite meticulous design work Additional standouts from the year, including Train Dreams and Song Sung Blue, which demonstrate how tonal precision and environmental detail can carry as much weight as larger-scale builds Across the conversation, the three perspectives reveal how production design succeeds not only through bold visual statements, but through coordination — between design, dressing, graphics, lighting, and performance — so that nothing feels isolated from the world of the film.

Marking 5 months since Charlie Kirk's execution on Sept 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, Stew dismantles the Zionist cover-up shielding his killers. JD Sharp joins Stew to discuss the illusion of American democracy exposed by the latest Epstein files drop. Trump shows up over 38,000 times, linked to unspeakable crimes against kids, with survivors naming him directly in assaults.  

Dr. Alfred McCoy provides a sweeping historical analysis of the Cold War, focusing on how individual covert operatives (“men on the spot”) shaped world events. McCoy explains how his early work on the CIA's role in heroin trafficking during the Vietnam War evolved into a broader study of covert operations and their impact on world history. He characterizes the era as a golden age of intelligence, where the threat of nuclear catastrophe forced superpowers to compete through indirect, clandestine operations. McCoy describes his personal experiences with CIA surveillance and his research into the global drug trade, illustrating how the agency penetrated American civil society and media. He argues that the geopolitical strategies developed during this period, particularly the containment of Eurasia, remain central to understanding modern power dynamics. Finally, the discussion explores the decline of American hegemony, contrasting past interventionist models with current shifts toward a multi-polar world order, noting how historical tactics of surveillance and control are increasingly being applied within the domestic United States.

Trump's named 38,000+ times in the Epstein files he swore to release—yet he lies, obstructs, attacks Massie, and buries millions more pages to hide his pedophile accomplice role. Full truth exposes the child-sacrifice network he protects at all costs. They murdered Charlie Kirk with a military-grade exploding lavalier mic rigged by insiders who sold him out for rejecting Israel's blood money – forget the 30-06 fairy tale, John Bray is dismantling it piece by piece with motion mapping, explosive gas analysis, shrapnel forensics, and custom ballistic dummies that replicate the exact brain-stem-killing blast.  

Tonight on The Stew Peters Show, Jeff Berwick joins me to expose how Bill Gates, Epstein, and their demonic cabal plotted pandemics since 2011 for trillion-dollar profits, laundered billions through the Gates Foundation, obsessed over gene-editing Africans while testing deadly jabs on black kids, and engineered COVID as a global blood sacrifice ritual. Joining me tonight is E. Michael Jones to blow the lid off the Zionist Super Bowl psyop that's erasing the Epstein files proving our leaders are kid-eating pedophiles dragging us into nuclear war for Israel against Iran, ready to wipe out our troops. Epstein's alive, still eating child jerky in hiding. Files prove PizzaGate, Zorro Ranch kid farms, human jerky shipments, and acid baths—this cannibal network runs bolder than ever.
