Nuclear guardrails are gone, and no one in power seems to care. In Part One of a conversation with Barry Stevens and Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunders, Lloyd Axworthy — the former Canadian Foreign Minister who led the campaign to ban landmines — traces how the memory of nuclear danger has faded even as more countries foolishly flirt with joining the club. Deterrence, once treated as gospel, has been quietly disproven on real battlefields, yet nobody in power seems to have noticed. Axworthy warns of a world sliding back toward the bomb just as it forgets why it feared one.This interview was conducted in collaboration with How To Rule The World https://www.youtube.com/@WorldFederalism and Project Save the World https://tosavetheworld.ca/ — it also appears on those channels.
Thank you to Mary and her partner for the request! Picture an endless stretch of highway surrounded by thick forests where there's no cell service, and towns are hours apart. Back in July 2019, that quiet part of the Alaska Highway in Canada turned upside down when a young couple on a road trip were found shot in a ditch. Before anyone even knew what was happening, it turned into a massive cross-country crime spree and a frantic nationwide search to track down the killers. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss What the Raven Knows: The Alaska Highway Murders.

My Path to Global International Relations: A semi-autobiographical textbook by Dr Vendulka Kubalkova https://www.amazon.com/Path-Global-International-Relations-semi-autobiographical/dp/B0GJSFG95W Drvkubalkova.com My Path to Global International Relations is a semi-autobiographical textbook. Textbooks are comprehensive compilations of content in a branch of study students learn. Textbooks are produced to meet primarily the needs of educators. They come with ready-made PowerPoints, quizzes, videos, lesson-by-lesson schedules, etc., to facilitate the teacher’s job. Unlike textbooks but like fiction generally, the autobiographical format of this work is designed primarily with a reader in mind: to be learned in an enjoyable way since it tells a real-life story. It is a story of “study abroad” gone awry at the height of the Cold War. The permission to study abroad in the Communist country came with strings attached: a KGB espionage assignment. The author’s home Prague, and she was only 24 at the time, was occupied by tanks. It became a moral issue for her, and having been blackmailed into accepting the espionage assignment, she blew her cover in England, where she was to study on a British scholarship. It started a lonely path of exile through international relations, statelessness, undocumented, and, for decades, unable to go home. It led to a challenging but successful career as a Professor of International Relations in several countries. Standard textbooks quickly become out of date, the Preface stresses, the “Globe is in everybody’s living room.” Many stories and animated learning videos are referenced throughout this book and available separately. The chapter’s topics are interdisciplinary with history excursions, the philosophy of knowledge, social sciences, postcolonial studies, and sociology of knowledge (challenges universities face), and it introduces some of her friends and colleagues, the prominent scholars of the field of International Relations.
Pour rythmer vos vacances, Into The Wind vous propose, du 31 juillet au 21 août, Un Été d'archis, soit la rediffusion de quatre épisodes dont les invités étaient des architectes navals ayant marqué l'histoire de la course au large. Des minis aux Ultim en passant par les Class40, Imoca, Ocean Fifty ou "one-off", ils nous racontent leur parcours et comment ils ont contribué à donner naissance à des bateaux de légende.--Il n'est pas du genre à élever la voix ou à attirer les projecteurs. Et pourtant, voilà déjà un quart de siècle qu'Antoine Koch promène sa silhouette longiline et sa discrétion dans le monde de la voile de compétition. Et on pourrait ajouter "comme prévu" - ou presque - à la phrase précédente, tant ce garçon, né à Paris voilà 45 ans, a choisi sa voie très tôt. Son destin est en effet scellé dès son plus jeune âge : il a beau être parisien, la maison de vacances familiale est mitoyenne de celle des Caudrelier à Fouesnant, il fréquente la fameuse école de voile du Cap-Coz dont sont issus - entre autres - Roland Jourdain et Jean-Luc Nélias. Bref, la baie de la Forêt est son jardin, et le bateau des parents l'emmène très vite vers des rêves de Vendée Globe. A 20 ans, étudiant à l'Université de technologie de Compiègne - "parce qu'ils avaient un programme pour les athlètes de haut niveau" - il se lance dans son premier projet, la Transat AG2R ; l'année suivante, toujours étudiant, c'est sa première Solitaire du Figaro, où, benjamin de la course et bizuth, il se fait remarquer par une étonnante 8e place dans la première étape, qui se confirme par ses trois participations suivantes, toutes terminées... dans les 10 premiers, avec une victoire d'étape ! Avec le Vendée Globe dans le viseur, il rachète en 2002 Fila, l'Imoca de Giovanni Soldini, et se classe 5e de la Route du Rhum 2002 puis 8e de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2003, avant de devoir renoncer au tour du monde, faute de sponsor. Il rebondit quelques mois plus tard en prenant la barrre du trimaran Orma Sopra : il vit les dernières années du circuit et découvre le solo sur ces machines particulières, se classant 9e du Rhum 2006 puis 5e de la Transat Jacques Vabre. Retour, ensuite au Figaro - avec une nouvelle victoire d'étape en 2009 -, un détour par le Multi50 et le Classe C, et le voilà sur le Mod70 Gitana en 2012 : le navigant se mue en coordinateur technique, au sein de l'écurie du baron où il participe à l'épopée de la création du Maxi Edmond de Rotschild. En 2017, il passe à l'Imoca et entame une fructueuse collaboration avec Thomas Ruyant, avec qui il participe à la conception et au développement de LinkedOut, en particulier sur les voiles et les appendices, prenant la 4e place de la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2019 au passage. Le skipper de LinkedOut n'a pas encore fini son Vendée Globe qu'Antoine Koch commence à réfléchir au bateau suivant. Il s'associe avec Finot-Conq pour proposer un nouveau plan pour le prochain Vendée Globe, retenu par TR Racing mais aussi l'équipe Paprec Arkéa de Yoann Richomme. Et on dirait que ça marche : For People, le plan Koch-Finot-Conq a remporté la Guyader Bermudes 1000 Race, avec à peine 6 sorties au compteur. Antoine Koch, lui, s'est emparé de la troisième place avec Sam Goodhild sur l'ex Linked Out, devenu For The Planet.

Nir Eyal is a bestselling author, behavioral science expert, and keynote speaker who helps individuals and organizations understand how psychology and technology shape human behavior. He is the author of the bestselling books Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief, which have sold over one million copies, been translated into over 30 languages, and earned recognition from The New York Times, Amazon, Audible, and The Globe and Mail. A former Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer, Nir has worked with organizations, including JPMorgan Chase and the US Air Force and invested in companies including Canva and Kahoot. He helps people build better habits, improve focus, and reach their full potential. In this episode… Why do some people turn knowledge into lasting change while others remain stuck in the same patterns? We have access to more books, podcasts, and expert advice than ever before, yet lasting transformation often feels out of reach. If information isn't the problem, what is the missing piece that drives real change? Nir Eyal, bestselling author and behavioral science expert, says lasting change begins by examining the beliefs behind our actions. He explains that sustained motivation depends not only on knowing what to do and understanding the benefits, but also on having beliefs that support persistence. Rather than treating beliefs as fixed truths, Nir encourages viewing them as tools that can be tested and reshaped. He illustrates this through examples ranging from Serena Williams' coach using "belief hacking" to build confidence to Amazon's "Day One" philosophy of continual innovation. He also shares practical methods, including inquiry-based stress reduction, to help people challenge limiting beliefs, improve relationships, and unlock greater personal and professional potential. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Nir Eyal to discuss how beliefs shape performance, leadership, and personal growth. They explore why persistence matters more than talent, how leaders cultivate empowering beliefs, and practical ways to reframe limiting mindsets. Nir also shares why questioning common psychological assumptions can lead to better decisions and lasting change.

Pour rythmer vos vacances, Into The Wind vous propose, du 31 juillet au 21 août, Un Été d'archis, soit la rediffusion de quatre épisodes dont les invités étaient des architectes navals ayant marqué l'histoire de la course au large. Des minis aux Ultim en passant par les Class40, Imoca, Ocean Fifty ou "one-off", ils nous racontent leur parcours et comment ils ont contribué à donner naissance à des bateaux de légende.--Il parle d'une voix calme et tranquille, mais sous chaque intonation percent les convictions et une passion pour son métier, qu'il raconte pour autant avec beaucoup de recul. A 54 ans, Guillaume Verdier est une star de l'architecture navale.Ses bateaux ont tout gagné, ou presque. Le vainqueur du Vendée Globe, Macif Santé Prévoyance ? C'est lui. Le vainqueur de The Ocean Race, 11th Hour Racing ? C'est encore lui. Le vainqueur de la Route du Rhum et de l'Arkéa Ultim Challenge Brest, Maxi Edmond de Rothschild ? C'est toujours lui. Et la liste n'est pas exhaustive, puis ses plans ont franchi la ligne en tête en Mini, en Class40, en Multi50, etc. Sans parler, bien sûr, de la Coupe de l'America où il oeuvre pour Team New Zealand depuis 2010.On parle de "plans Verdier", mais lui ne vous parlera que de son équipe, une bande d'une quinzaine d'experts dans tous les métiers de l'architecture navale, avec qui il collabore depuis de nombreuses années et qu'il prend soin d'énumérer, angoissé à l'idée d'en oublier certains.C'est au fond de la rade de Brest, à Logonna-Daoulas, qu'il découvre la voile en camps de vacances ; s'il adore la nature, il ne se prendra jamais de passion pour la course côté pratique. Destiné aux grandes écoles d'ingénieurs, il bifurque après la prépa et entre à l'école d'archi de Southampton, avant de compléter son cursus à l'université voisine. Un détour par l'université de Copenhague et le voilà chez Finot-Conq en 1997, à l'époque où le cabinet de Jouy-en-Josas domine le Vendée Globe. Il y apprend le métier pendant 4 ans, travaillant sur une flopée d'Imoca, avant de devenir indépendant.Il travaille ensuite sur le projet d'Hydraplaneur d'Yves Parlier, où il rencontre une bonne partie de ceux qui l'entourent encore aujourd'hui : Benjamin Muyl, Hervé Penfornis et Romaric Neyhousser... Après un premier passage marquant sur la Coupe de l'America chez Areva Challenge pour l'édition 2007, puis il entame une frutueuse collaboration avec VPLP qui se lance alors dans les Imoca. Leur premier bébé, Safran, révolutionne le genre, premier d'une longue lignée.En 2010, il intègre l'une des plus belles équipes du monde : Team New Zealand, les All Blacks de la voile. Avec eux, il va d'abord perdre (en 2013) puis remporter la Coupe en 2017 et 2021, Une expérience profondément marquante. En parallèle il continue à concevoir énormément de bateaux : des Imoca, bien sûr (qu'il dessine désormais sans VPLP), mais aussi des Minis, des Class40 et des Ultims : après Gitana 17, qui marque son époque, sa prochaine grosse livraison est Gitana 18. Nul doute que cette nouvelle machine made in Verdier & Co. ne devrait laisser personne indifférent !Diffusé le 21 février 2025Rediffusé le 14 août 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

GLP-1 medications to treat diabetes, obesity and several other illnesses have exploded in popularity since Ozempic was approved for use in Canada back in 2018. Ozempic and Wegovy, the GLP-1s which contain semaglutide, are the third-most prescribed drug in Canada and by far the bestselling one. Chris Hannay, The Globe's business of health reporter, will explain why the introduction of generic semaglutide will mean lower prices and more options for Canadians. And we'll explore access to these drugs with The Globe's health reporter Kelly Grant on who gets their GLP-1 covered by their insurance – and who doesn't. Plus, Globe audio producer Kasia Mychajlowycz leads us on a journey to understand just how the virtual pharmacies advertised all over her social-media feed are vetting people who want Ozempic prescriptions. This episode is the second of a three-part series. It originally aired March 2, 2026.

Inflammation is an important and necessary part of the body's healing process. It's also long been a wellness buzzword used to sell products that do very little to treat it. This week, we look at inflammation through the lens of a new Mother Jones article, “The Great Inflammation Panic,” including an interview with the author, Julia Métraux, in segment two. We'll also discuss what inflammation is, how wellness influencers weaponize it, and what it represents in the context of Ayurveda.

For years, the Canadian athletic-wear brand Lululemon both pioneered and dominated the athleisure retail market. It turned workout gear into a status symbol, growing its international operations to 30 countries. But there's trouble – a public battle with its founder, controversies over its marketing and a cratering stock price have all amounted to serious problems for the once-stalwart brand. Susan Krashinsky Robertson, The Globe's retailing reporter, dives into the issues Lululemon faces, crunches the numbers of its financial outlook and asks what happens when a big brand loses its cool.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls have been a problem in Canada for decades, and one that went ignored for far too long. Going back to the late 60s, women and girls were taken especially along a stretch of road in British Columbia known as The Highway of Tears. But now, there is a new highway of tears. By tracking sex ads posted online, a team from Thompson Reuters was able to follow the routes traffickers used to move their victims from one end of the country to the next, following along some of Canada's busiest highways and airports. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with, Temur Durrani, a national correspondent for the Globe and Mail based out of Manitoba, who's done in-depth coverage of sex trafficking and the report, to break down the information, and learn what it might tell us about how to fight this criminal enterprise.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Natalie Zina Walschots, author of VILLAIN. About VILLAIN: The hench once called Anna, now known to her colleagues and enemies as the Auditor, has carved out a wicked name for herself. Any superhero unlucky enough to cross her path knows her potential and powers. Surely, her recent success should taste sweet: she has an incredible job with lots of perks, her boss will literally annihilate anyone who crosses her, and her greatest enemy, the former hero Supercollider, has been utterly defeated—literally ground to a still-living pulp. But the Auditor still has her sights set on a greater work: destroying The Draft, the organization that makes, trains, and manages the world's most powerful superheroes. These “heroes” have shown time and time again that they do more harm than good (she has the spreadsheets to prove it), and now is the time to stop the damage at its source. Yet all is not well for the Auditor and her fellow evildoers. Her employer, Leviathan—the world's most feared supervillain—is not coping well with Supercollider's defeat at someone else's hands. As their relationship deepens, her work-life balance increasingly involves navigating the feelings of someone who doesn't believe they have any. Moreover, her unlikely ally and unexpected friend, Quantum Entanglement, has reappeared, forcing the Auditor to confront all the ways they deceived each other. Tension and uncertainty haunt the Auditor, and the fear that their triumph is about to crumble looms over all of them. The Auditor soon finds herself facing down an opponent unlike any she's taken on before—not another superhero, but someone like her, someone much more dangerous: The Draft's Chief Marketing Officer. Their conflict isn't a test of physical prowess, but ideas, and as their fight escalates, she’ll need more than preternatural pattern recognition, data analysis, and a horrific imagination to meet this challenge. It's guerrilla ad warfare, and the Auditor might have finally met her match. About Natalie Zina Walschots: Natalie cultivates fandoms, builds new communities, develops character voices, leads interactive fiction workshops, designs alternate reality games, constructs branching narratives, and most mornings opens Tumblr before opening her eyes. Her client list includes scrappy indie game studios, critically acclaimed television shows, mixed martial artists, print magazines, talk shows, NGOs, and a few more that defy categorization. Natalie's work wins awards, grows audiences, and introduces people to the thing they often end up loving most in the world. As a writer and journalist, you can find her work in the National Post, The Walrus, Quill & Quire, The Globe & Mail, and beyond. She's the author of two poetry collections, DOOM: Love Poems for Supervillains and Thumbscrews, and the novels Hench and its sequel Villain. Hench, dedicated to the plight of hench-people (the downtrodden and often expendable employees of supervillains), was a finalist on the 2021 season of Canada Reads and a nominee for the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Natalie has presented at Console-ing Passions, CGSA, Digital Odyssey, TCAF/CSSC, and more. She is an active member of Dames Making Games, and has previously worked with Pixelles, Concordia's Technoculture, Art and Games Lab, and The Hand Eye Society. She can be found causing trouble at DMG or talking about heavy metal on Banger TV. She has often been in the newspaper for swearing. She lives in Nova Scotia with her partner and four cats.

Canadian banks are leaning heavily into AI adoption. More than 30 per cent of finance and insurance firms are using AI, compared to just 1.5 per cent of businesses in accommodation and food services. The banks are spending millions, in some cases billions, of dollars on AI programs, like chatbots for customers, for employees, and even for a CEO's morning briefing. Today, we've got The Globe's banking reporter Stefanie Marotta on the show. She'll explain how banks are using AI (including ways customers don't ever see), the risks they're weighing, and what it means for the adoption of AI across Canada. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

With it estimated that travel from Stratford Upon Avon to London might take days or even weeks depending on the weather and mode of transportation, it's only logical to think that Shakespeare must have had a place to stay when he was in London for work. There is a court case in which Shakespeare is mentioned by name that places him as a lodger with the Mountjoy family on Silver Street in 1604. There's also documentary evidence to suggest Shakespeare was neighbors with a young John Fletcher in Bishopsgate. And it only makes sense to expect that Shakespeare might have had a place to stay near The Globe theater in Southwark, but that remains largely a guess. More recently, Matthew Steggle has done new research into the letter written to Mrs. Shakespeare, which places Mr. And Mrs. Shakespeare once again, residing in London. When it comes to his Blackfriars property, however, scholars have been stumped because documentary evidence suggests Shakespeare did own property in the Blackfriars, but no one knew exactly where until now. Our guest this week, Lucy Munro, has uncovered three new documents including a set of floorplans for the Blackfriars building, that reveal not only where Shakespeare's property was located, but precisely how large it was, and exactly how it was positioned in relation to neighboring structures in the Blackfriars.
Steeped in military and naval history, Halifax is increasingly used as the backdrop for announcements of defence investment. The city is poised to benefit from substantial investment thanks to Mark Carney's commitment to meeting NATO targets. But as more development arrives, is Halifax able to support the demands of an increased strain on its infrastructure and housing supply? Chris Wilson-Smith went there to find out. He's a business reporter and the author of one of The Globe's daily newsletters, Business Brief. He's on the show to explain how Halifax is trying to make sure it makes the most of this moment.

An 80-year-old woman has died while trying to escape a massive wildfire in Canada's British Columbia. A state of emergency has been declared in the province, as a major blaze near the district of Summerland continues to grow. More than 20,000 people have been evacuated. The Globe and Mail senior reporter Steven Chase spoke to John Campbell from Ottawa.
Pour rythmer vos vacances, Into The Wind vous propose, du 31 juillet au 21 août, Un Été d'archis, soit la rediffusion de quatre épisodes dont les invités étaient des architectes navals ayant marqué l'histoire de la course au large. Des minis aux Ultim en passant par les Class40, Imoca, Ocean Fifty ou "one-off", ils nous racontent leur parcours et comment ils ont contribué à donner naissance à des bateaux de légende.--Comment résumer en quelques lignes quatre décennies d'un duo d'amis devenus références de l'architecture navale ? Pas simple...Marc Van Peteghem et Vincent Lauriot Prévost sont tous les deux parisiens d'origine, et naviguent en famille pendant les vacances dans les années 1960 et 1970, l'un en Méditerranée, l'autre en Bretagne. Ils se rencontrent à Southampton, à la fin des années 1970, où la formation en architecture navale n'est pas encore aussi réputée qu'aujourd'hui. Ils ne finiront pas leur cursus : ils rêvent déjà de simplicité, de légèreté, de multicoque, surtout - tout ce que n'offre pas encore l'école.S'ils prennent des chemins séparés pour leurs premiers jobs, Marc appelle Vincent quelques années plus tard pour dessiner un foiler de 50 pieds commandé par Vincent Lévy : Gérard Lambert sera le premier plan signé VPLP. On est en 1983, c'est le début d'une longue et prolifique carrière pour un sigle qui va entrer dans le langage commun de la voile.Van Pet' et Lauriot Prévost sont, au début, des spécialistes de la course (Poulain, Biscuits Cantreau), et sur trois coques. Mais très vite, ils se lancent dans la plaisance, sur deux coques, avec les Lagoon, qui seront construits à plusieurs milliers d'exemplaires. Ils gagnent la Route du Rhum avec Florence Arthaud et Pierre 1er en 1990, puis avec Laurent Bourgnon et Lionel Lemonchois, gagnent des Trophée Jules Verne, participent à l'Hydroptère, dessinent Groupama 3 et le maxi-trimaran Banque Populaire V, la liste est trop longue !La Coupe de l'America, en 2010 - ils sont embarqués dans le défi américain et conçoivent USA 17, le trimaran de 90 pieds à aile rigide qui va l'emporter - emmène VPLP dans un autre monde : après la course et la plaisance, Marc Van Peteghem et Vincent Lauriot Prévost s'intéressent au transport maritime et aux bateaux de travail, en ayant très tôt l'intuition que l'expertise de la course pouvait servir dans le monde de la marine marchande. Un transfert de technologie illustré par le lancement en 2023 de Canopée, un roulier de 120 mètres de long, propulsé par des ailes rigides, conçu par le cabinet.Entre-temps, il y aura eu les Imoca avec Guillaume Verdier et des victoires dans toutes les courses dont le Vendée Globe, des Ultims, des Ocean Fifty, le Figaro 3...En 2021, les deux copains de Southampton mesurent ensemble qu'il est temps de passer progressivement la main à la nouvelle génération d'une agence qui emploie près d'une quarantaine de personnes.Pas de regrets, l'histoire est belle. Jamais d'engueulades ? "Si, comme dans un couple ! (...) Mais ce qu'on n'a jamais perdu, c'est la confiance l'un envers l'autre".Diffusé le 20 septembre 2024Rediffusé le 7 août 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

With a Quebec provincial election on deck this fall, and the Parti Québécois leading in the polls, there's a good chance Quebec will hold another referendum on independence. Support for separation is polling at around 30 per cent — far below the majority vote result needed to form an independent country. However, a new generation of sovereigntists is cropping up, one that hadn't even been born for the last referendum, in 1995. Maura Forrest is a Quebec correspondent for The Globe and Mail. She's on the show to talk about what Gen Z sovereignty looks like, how it differs from previous movements, and the implications for the upcoming election. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

A Canadian woman has been arrested and accused of spying for a third country during her internship at NATO's headquarters in Belgium. The woman had a work history with Canadian government agencies and was once found to have committed fraud when trying to apply for a job with the Canada Border Services Agency. This case is now raising questions about how the Canadian government vets its candidates, especially for roles that could have access to sensitive information. Greg Mercer is an investigative journalist with The Globe and one of a team of reporters working on this story. He joins the show to explain what we know so far. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Jenna Free is a counselor who specializes in ADHD, and she doesn't teach it from a textbook, she lives it, having been diagnosed herself at 32. Her work zeroes in on the piece she says the field keeps missing: dysregulation. Through her ADHD regulation groups and her training for mental health professionals, she teaches a method built around regulating the nervous system, thoughts, and behaviors, and she's put it all into her bestselling book The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, a Toronto Star and Globe and Mail bestseller. The core idea here reframes almost everything men think they know about ADHD. Jenna argues that most of what gets labeled ADHD is actually an ADHD brain stuck in chronic fight or flight, and that it's fixable. She and Larry get into what's happening in the brain during dysregulation, the four survival responses, why potential keeps you stuck, and how simply refusing to fight with reality can change your whole day. If you or your kids have ever felt like putting on socks is a full body assignment, this one explains why. Timeline Summary [1:58] – Getting diagnosed at 32 and finally making sense to herself [3:28] – Four careers by 35, from marketing to modeling in South Africa to teaching [9:14] – Two kids under a year and a half apart and max fight or flight [9:57] – Your mess becomes your message [10:16] – The full bio: the ADHD regulation method and a bestselling book [13:16] – What's actually happening in an ADHD brain stuck in fight or flight [14:43] – Why the fight or flight symptom list looks almost identical to the ADHD one [15:49] – The socks story and how different life feels once you're regulated [18:58] – Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how each one shows up [20:39] – Why your body can't tell a to-do list from a bear [22:01] – Which survival response dominates, and whether gender or age matters [24:41] – Why this work is hard for kids and lands better with bought-in adults [25:28] – Hyperactive, inattentive, and combination types across the lifespan [26:28] – Where regulation actually starts, and why buy-in comes first [27:43] – Putting on your dysregulation goggles to see symptoms differently [29:26] – Giving yourself permission to regulate when survival mode resists it [32:44] – Physical regulation first: slowing down to signal safety to the body [35:14] – Potential versus reality and the shoulds that pull you back into panic [36:50] – The spilled box of gems and dropping the fight with reality in five seconds [38:27] – Larry's disputed parking charge and staying calm while everyone else panicked [43:12] – Do people with ADHD have less energy, or is it pouring onto the floor? [45:13] – Why Jenna's calming tone regulates her own body in real time [48:14] – How fawning and people pleasing trace back to the amygdala 5 Key Takeaways It's Often Fight or Flight, Not Just ADHD — Many of the symptoms people write off as permanent ADHD traits, the overwhelm, paralysis, and procrastination, are actually a nervous system stuck in survival mode. That part is treatable. Your Body Can't Tell a To-Do List From a Bear — Under chronic stress, blood flow leaves the prefrontal cortex so you can fight or run, which is exactly why you can't think clearly when you sit down to work. Buy-In Comes Before Any Technique — Regulation work is uncomfortable because your system thinks its old patterns are keeping you alive. You have to genuinely want the change to push through the resistance. Start by Physically Slowing Down — Walking instead of rushing, dropping your shoulders, and typing at a reasonable pace all signal safety to the body. Small shifts over time retrain the nervous system far better than fast, intense change. Stop Fighting With Reality — Shoulds, what-ifs, and "this shshouldn't have happened" throw you straight back into panic. Naming what is real and asking "now what" is one of the fastest ways to calm the system down.

If Jenna's reframing of dysregulation gave you a new way to understand your own brain or your kid's, put one piece of it to work. Catch yourself the next time you're rushing and physically slow down, and notice how quickly your body follows. If the show keeps delivering, follow, rate, and leave a review so more fathers can find these conversations. This episode discusses ADHD, disordered eating, and mental health. If any of it resonates personally, consider reaching out to a licensed professional who can offer support tailored to you.

Episode 428: On October 3, 1984, nine-year-old Christine Jessop stepped off a school bus in Queensville, Ontario, and walked toward home. She was never seen alive again. Her body was found on New Year's Eve, fifty-six kilometres away. She had been sexually assaulted and stabbed. What followed was one of the most consequential criminal proceedings in Canadian history — and the quiet destruction of a man who lived next door. This is Part One of a two-part series.

A child's mutilated torso surfaced from the Thames near Shakespeare's Globe in 2001, and more than two decades later no one has been convicted of killing the boy investigators could only call Adam.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TorsoInTheThamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3h6yrmk5FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most people, when they think of the end of their lives, want to feel that they have accomplished something of significance. To leave a lasting legacy. But it is much more rare for someone to accomplish something significant – after they are dead! (Done By The Dead) *** Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton was a pillar of society in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s. That is, until she was accused of murdering General William Scott Ketchum. (The Baltimore Borgia) *** For every legitimate and fascinating find by geologists, there seems to be a fraudulent find somewhere else trying to fool the masses. This has been a problem since geology became a thing – and one of the most fascinating of these true tales is the one about Baringer's Lying Stones. (The Lying Stones) *** A strange, ape-like creature with glowing eyes in England might really be, as some believe, a specter of the night. (Man-Monkey of the Night) *** It's hard to understand how human sacrifice has ever been a reality in any point in history – but what if you were to learn that evidence of it showed up in London, England… in 2001? (Torso In The River) *** A would-be geisha murders her lover… but the events leading up to and during the death make for a fascinatingly dark story. (The Murderess Geisha) *** When it comes to spectral animals, we're more than familiar with black dogs or hell hounds, ghostly cats, horses carrying a headed or headless phantom, even a ghost bear rumored to haunt the Tower of London… but have you ever heard of the American Southwest's ghost camels?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from ghost camels haunting the Arizona desert to corpses that kept making history after death, a Baltimore poisoning that gripped a courtroom for weeks, a professor fooled by carved stones, a child's murder in the Thames that London police have never solved, a Tokyo geisha who killed the man she loved, and a glowing-eyed creature on an English canal bridge.It opens in the American southwest, where the U.S. War Department imported some seventy-two camels in 1857 to haul supplies, only to turn the animals loose in the desert when the Civil War broke out and the soldiers tired of their foul temper and habit of spooking horses. Wild camels roamed Arizona for decades afterward, and one became legend as the Red Ghost — a beast blamed for trampling a woman to death in 1883 and later seen carrying a dead man lashed to its back, a rider who eventually decayed until a human skull dropped from the saddle in front of a group of startled prospectors. An Arizona farmer finally shot the animal in 1893, still wearing the leather straps that had held its corpse rider in place.From there the episode turns to figures who kept shaping the world after they died. A gang of Chicago counterfeiters led by "Big Jim" Kennally plotted in 1876 to steal Abraham Lincoln's body from his Springfield tomb and ransom it for a jailed engraver, foiled by a Secret Service informant working for the very agency Lincoln himself had signed into existence. A grave robber broke into George Washington's crypt at Mount Vernon in 1830 hunting the president's skull and made off with the wrong one. The British philosopher Jeremy Bentham left instructions to have his body dissected and mummified, and it sits on display at University College London to this day. And in the ninth century Pope Stephen VI dug up his predecessor Formosus, dressed the rotting corpse in papal vestments, propped it up for trial, found it guilty, and had it thrown into the Tiber.Next comes Baltimore in 1871, where Elizabeth Wharton, a respected society widow, hosted General William Scott Ketchum in her home on Hamilton Place until he fell suddenly ill and died with twenty grains of tartar emetic in his stomach — fifteen is enough to kill. Police discovered she had bought sixty grains days earlier, and a financial advisor named Eugene Van Ness nearly died the same way after she served him a drink. Her forty-two-day poison trial in Annapolis exhausted the medical and chemical experts of the day, and after deliberating through the night the jury acquitted her of murder.The episode then crosses to Germany, where Johann Beringer, a celebrated professor at the University of Würzburg, spent 1725 collecting strange carved stones dug up on Mount Eibelstadt by teenage boys he had hired — figures of birds, lizards, comets, and the name of God rendered in Hebrew. Convinced they were the handiwork of God himself, he published a book on them called the Lithographiae Wirceburgensis, only to learn the nearly two thousand stones had been planted by two envious colleagues, J. Ignatz Roderick and Johann Georg von Eckhart, who thought him an arrogant know-it-all and wanted to humble him.From an academic hoax the episode moves to an unsolved horror. On September 21st, 2001, a child's headless, limbless torso surfaced from the Thames near the Globe Theatre, wrapped in orange cloth, and London's Metropolitan Police could give the boy no name but Adam. Forensic analysis of poison and minerals in his remains traced him to the Benin region of Nigeria and showed he had been paralyzed and drained of blood in what investigators believed was a muti ritual killing. Nelson Mandela made an international appeal for information, and traffickers including Kingsley Ojo and a caregiver named Joyce Osagiede were investigated, but no one has ever been convicted and the boy's true identity has never been confirmed.The episode carries that darkness into 1936 Tokyo, where Sada Abe strangled her lover Kichizo Ishida in an inn after a days-long affair, then took a kitchen knife to his body and carried a severed part of him away in her handbag. Her capture two days later set off a national obsession the papers called "Sada mania," and her testimony about killing the man she refused to share became a bestseller in a country where such candor was scandalous. She was sentenced to six years, served her time as a model prisoner, and vanished from public life sometime after 1970.The episode closes on a cold English night in January 1879, when a furniture hauler crossing Bridge 39 over the Shropshire Union Canal near the village of Ranton was charged by a shaggy, ape-like creature with glowing eyes that leapt onto his cart and terrified his horse. When he swung his whip at the thing, the lash passed straight through its body, and the creature bolted down toward the canal and vanished. The folklorist Charlotte Burne later learned from the village constable that the sightings had begun only days after a man drowned in that same canal, in a place where people believed a violent death could send someone back in the shape of a beast.
