This week, we're giving you an inside look at what we cover over on our Patreon—where, if you're caught up on regular episodes and craving more, we dive into additional cases, including some that have already reached a verdict… but still leave questions behind. In this episode, we take you back to 1964 and into one of the most sensational true crime cases in American history—the murder of Jacques Mossler. Set against a backdrop of wealth, power, and high society, this case quickly spirals into something far more shocking. A brutal killing. A forbidden relationship that makes headlines across the nation. And a courtroom battle so filled with scandal that it drew comparisons to the biggest trials in history long before cable news existed. As the story unfolds, what emerges is not just a question of who committed the crime—but whether justice can truly be served when money, influence, and public perception collide. Because even when a case seems to have all the pieces… that doesn't always mean the truth wins.

In the spring of 2026, Israel and the United States conducted joint offensive military operations against Iran: coordinating targets, dividing airspace, and operating with a degree of integration that has no precedent in the history of the alliance. The operation significantly degraded Iran's military capabilities, and it marked what many analysts regard as a genuine turning point, not just in the regional balance of power, but in the nature of the American-Israeli relationship itself. For decades, that relationship had been structured as a powerful patron supporting a dependent client. What the Iran war suggested to some observers is that Israel has—at least in part—outgrown that structure. That is the backdrop for a debate that is now live in both Jerusalem and Washington: what should American military aid to Israel look like when the current memorandum of understanding between the two countries expires in 2028? The U.S. currently provides Israel with approximately $3.5 billion annually in grants, earmarked for the purchase of American-made military equipment—an arrangement that dates to the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War and that has been renewed, and periodically enlarged, ever since. For most of that period, the case for the aid seemed self-evident. First the Arab states, and then Iran and its proxies, were actively threatening Israel's existence. American military and diplomatic support was an indispensable buttress of Israel's security. Whether that case remains self-evident today, in the wake of a war that has significantly diminished Iranian capabilities, is now a serious question being debated by Israelis and Americans of good faith, with thoughtful arguments on multiple sides. In this episode, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver speaks with a proud Israeli patriot who has been making the case for ending American aid for some time. Raphael BenLevi is a senior fellow at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, director of the Churchill Program for Statecraft and Security at the Argaman Institute in Jerusalem, a reserve officer in the IDF intelligence branch, and an occasional contributor to Mosaic. He recently published an essay in Foreign Affairs titled "America Should Be Israel's Partner, Not Its Patron."

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the global and especially American situation is very dark, grave, and worsening daily. Europe has fallen to a jihadi Islamist crusade while unprecedented antisemitism targets Jews walking the streets in the U.S. while every synagogue spends fortunes on security. The Democrat Party no longer offers support to Jews, as it has been taken over and devoured by Islamists and Marxists who are welcome there. Also, the Supreme Court issued a major decision upholding that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was never intended to allow creation of congressional districts based on race; it aimed instead to end race-based segregation in the South. The ruling reaffirms that districts cannot be drawn with racial intent to discriminate or guarantee outcomes, requiring actual evidence of intent to block minorities' opportunity to elect candidates of their choice rather than mere allegations. Democrats have misused the Act to advance their party by creating race-conscious districts, treating certain racial groups as reliable voters and fearing losses in majority-white areas, contrary to the Act's original colorblind aim. Later, Rep Byron Donalds calls in and reports that Gov Ron DeSantis submitted a new congressional map, which the legislature passed and the governor plans to sign. This is a strong reflection of the Florida's political framework. He also explains that the Democrat Party are ​a ​bunch ​of ​limousine ​liberals. ​They ​love ​everything ​being ​handed ​to ​them, but ​they ​do ​not ​have ​an ​appreciation ​for ​the ​market ​system ​and ​for ​free ​enterprise.

Allie sits down with Camille Varone, senior counsel at the Department of Justice, to discuss the explosive new revelations from a report by the DOJ Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. The report exposes how the Biden administration systematically targeted Christians through an overbroad reading of Bostock, weaponization of the FACE Act against pro-lifers, FBI scrutiny of traditional Catholics, and pressure on schools, medical professionals, and faith-based organizations to conform to progressive gender ideology or lose funding. From career bureaucrats pushing “gender-affirming care” with minimal religious exemptions to coordination with abortion NGOs to prosecute pro-life advocates, this conversation reveals deep ideological capture within the federal bureaucracy — and what it means for religious liberty moving forward. Allie and Camille also address the report's rare acknowledgment of Christian thought's foundational role in American history, including a direct citation of Allie's book “You Are Not Enough (and That's Okay).” Task Force Report on Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias and Restoring Religious Liberty: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/task-force-publishes-report-eradicating-anti-christian-bias-and-restoring-religious-liberty Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

Jake Sullivan helped negotiate the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Now, as he watches Trump try to superglue some version of that deal back together, Sullivan tells Harry the president “has no idea what he is doing because he has no idea quite why he's doing it.” Drawing on his four years of experience as Biden's national security advisor, Sullivan plumbs the depth of Trump's strategic catastrophe in Iran and its disastrous consequences everywhere from American gas stations, to the Ukrainian frontline, to the Taiwan strait.

American family farms are being systematically destroyed by the very government bills claiming to protect them. I'm joined by fourth-generation farmer and Farm Action Fund President Joe Maxwell to expose the massive corporate monopolies, land-grabs, and venture socialism hidden inside the $1.5 trillion farm bill. We dive deep into how taxpayer money is weaponized to drive up agricultural land prices, incentivize feed and fuel crops over actual food, and allow foreign conglomerates and hedge funds to dominate the meatpacking industry. If you want to know why beef prices are at record highs while cattle ranchers go bankrupt, the answer is in the cronyism of our agricultural policies. It is time to break up the monopolies, end crony subsidies and regulatory capture, pass the PRIME Act, and restore American food security. Learn more about your ad choices.

In America’s first hundred years, the animal you were most likely to see was a passenger pigeon. And you saw a lot of them. Flocks were so numerous they literally blotted out the sun for days and their combined weight snapped the branches of entire forests where they roosted. Yet by 1914, the last specimen, a female named Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo, marking the complete extinction of what had been North America's most abundant bird numbering in the billions just decades earlier. Early Americans assumed the nation's bird populations were infinite, so market hunters fashioned homemade cannons to blast sleeping ducks by the dozens, "pigeoneers" shipped passenger pigeons by the trainload to city restaurants, and feather hunters shot rare birds worth more than their weight in gold so Gilded Age women could wear plumes in their hats. What followed was an unlikely coalition of bird-lovers like Roosevelt, gunmakers, business titans, and brave game wardens who transformed American conservation. They couldn’t save the passenger pigeon, but they saved other species from extinction, like the Canada Goose and the trumpeter swan. Today's guest is James H. McCommons, author of The Feather Wars: And the Great Crusade to Save America's Birds. We discuss how Roosevelt used executive powers to create the first federal bird refuge at Pelican Island in 1903, why the revolutionary 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act made nearly all wild birds wards of the federal government while inadvertently establishing that federal law supersedes state law, and how conservation success stories including wild turkeys, wood ducks, trumpeter swans, and bald eagles were all brought back from extinction's brink. McCommons also warns that America faces a new crisis reminiscent of the Gilded Age. Since 1970, one in four birds (about 3 billion) in North America have been lost, with backyard species like sparrows, blackbirds, warblers, and finches disappearing as indicator species foreshadowing greater environmental collapse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New Yorker staff writer Antonia Hitchens joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss a surreal week in Washington: the attempted assassination of Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, followed days later by a state visit from King Charles III and Queen Camilla. They talk about what Hitchens witnessed inside the Hilton ballroom during the shooting attempt, and how Washington responded in the days that followed. They also discuss the state of the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom, how Trump embraced the pageantry of the royal visit, and what King Charles's trip was meant to signal diplomatically. They also explore what the week's whiplash reveals about covering politics during the second Trump term.This week's reading: “D.C.

Germany's Chancellor said it on the record. Iran is humiliating Donald Trump. Meanwhile his Department of Justice indicts Jim Comey over a photo of seashells, and Lindsey Graham begs for a half-billion-dollar ballroom. Tonight: a sitting American president, humiliated by Iran on the world stage, takes it out on a former FBI director by indicting him for an Instagram post. ⦿ Friedrich Merz says it out loud — Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump has no move. ⦿ Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the man who used to defend Trump in court, now files felony charges over seashells. ⦿ And the Republican response to a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner? Lindsey Graham wants a ballroom. Comey indicted a second time, this time over a beach photo Merz on the record: Iran humiliated the American president Trump's double blockade of Hormuz and what happens to the global economy The Correspondents' Dinner shooting and the GOP's instant blame game Lindsey Graham, Eric Schmitt, and the half-billion-dollar ballroom

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, LIV Golf's future is uncertain as reports suggest Saudi PIF may pull funding. This would leave LIV players searching for a new home and while it's likely that the PGA Tour will welcome some back and that opportunity is unlikely to be presented to all. Also thousands of hockey fans sing the Canadian anthem amid tensions between neighbor countries. Fans in Buffalo, only a few miles from Ontario, filled the silence when singer Cami Clune's microphone cut out at the start of a match Tuesday. A crowd of nearly 20,000 sang the lyrics. The vast majority were American – and knew all the words.

On the surface, he looked like a man who had it all—confidence, charisma, and a life built in the sprawling affluence. But behind the polished exterior of John Battaglia was a storm of control, obsession, and escalating violence that would end in one of the most chilling acts of filicide in modern American crime.In this Early Relese episode we pull back the curtain on a case that is as psychologically disturbing as it is heartbreaking. This is not just the story of a crime—it's the unraveling of a man who weaponized love, custody, and control against the very people who trusted him most.

Coast Guard Bases Losing Power Due to Shutdown. Fed's Powell Refuses to Leave. Voting Rights Act Slammed by SCOTUS. Mills Suspends Senate Campaign in Maine. Navy FB Player Lives the Dream with Steelers.  The rain has cleared and we can see what the Iran war actually cost. In this solo episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the brutal arithmetic: $25 billion spent. 13 American soldiers killed. Hundreds wounded. Oil at $125 a barrel and gas at $4.30 a gallon — up 27 cents in a week. The Strait of Hormuz still not secured. The Iranian regime still in power. The enriched uranium still unaccounted for. After yesterday's testimony from Secretary Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Caine, the spin is gone — and the Pentagon wants $1.5 trillion more. Paul lays out why working Americans are paying the price for a war their leaders can't honestly defend. Paul also takes apart Trump's state dinner for King Charles — 10 American billionaires, six Fox News hosts, zero Democrats — and calls out Trump, Hegseth, and Vance for siding with Putin while Zelensky and Macron call it like it is. There's hope in the mix too: a powerful breakdown of Heidenreich's path from the Naval Academy to a Marine Corps commission to the NFL draft, the kind of leadership that gives this country a future.

There's a quiet shift happening in real estate that most consumers are not watching closely enough. While the headlines focus on lawsuits, commissions, and industry noise, the deeper issue is what happens when MLS data starts getting held back or fragmented. In this episode, Leigh breaks down why the MLS is not just a listing tool. It is part of the foundation that helps appraisers determine value, banks make lending decisions, and buyers and sellers trust the market. If that data weakens, the impact could reach far beyond real estate agents.   Key takeaways to listen for Why the MLS matters for more than listing exposure How withheld listing data can affect pricing and market transparency The connection between appraisers, lending confidence, and mortgage approvals Why sellers may feel the impact even more than buyers What fragmented housing data could mean for affordability and homeownership   About Leigh Brown Leigh Brown is a keynote speaker, broker, author, and leadership voice helping audiences understand what is really happening in real estate, business, and American property ownership. Her conversations go beyond headlines to help leaders, professionals, and consumers see the unintended consequences of today's decisions.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the AP article reporting James Comey's second indictment was grotesque propaganda - an opinion piece that leads with accusations of vindictive prosecution by the Trump administration's Justice Department. The piece notes Comey's history feuding with Trump and his role in the Russia investigation but these details are irrelevant to the charge. Comey's explanation for the 8647 seashells is unbelievable—especially for a former FBI director. Also, Iran is overflowing with oil and desperately seeking storage in quarries, old ships, and anywhere possible because President Trump has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz—taking it over in response to Iran's actions—preventing them from exporting oil. They continue pumping but have nowhere to store it; shutting down the wells risks destroying or rendering many unworkable.  The U.S. should give Iran two options – unconditional surrender or we finish Iran off. Later, the Democrat Party has a long history of violence and embracing humanity's worst traits. Democrats target Trump because he stands between them and the people, loves America and its founding. Their inflammatory language, labeling Trump as Hitler or a dictator, is designed to incite violence against ICE, police, and the president through mobs funded by billionaires and networks. Americans see through this. Afterward, Bruce Blakeman calls in to discuss his run for Governor of NY against Kathy Hochul. Common-sense Democrats are supporting him because the Democratic Party has shifted to far-left progressive woke policies that are un-American, denigrate the country, and have abandoned traditional American values once shared by figures like Moynihan and Scoop Jackson.

What would you do for a desperation pie? Kitchen correspondent Sarah Archer is here to talk with Sarah about the American food trends that marked the 20th century and how they related to the political and cultural changes of a nation in need of constant culinary inventiveness. They discuss the specialties of the barren Depression Era, the food-related propaganda and rationing of the wartime years, the meteoric rise of post-war disposability, the premade mixes and “exotic” dishes of midcentury housewives, and the special tastes of Soviet Cold War diplomacy. Throughout the episode, they discuss the messages these eras transmitted to the women in charge of the kitchen and draw parallels to our new era of trad wife cooking and carnivore dieting. Digressions include the unique features of Star Trek aliens, why cottage cheese is the Cher of foods, and how ironing sheets can be a potent tool for procrastination.More Sarah Archer:https://www.sarah-archer.com/Design for Dreaming 1956 appliance fantasy film: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/design-for-dreaming-1956/Midcentury Menu exhibition at the MFAH: https://www.mfah.org/art/exhibitions/midcentury-menu-dining-in-the-atomic-ageMeals with a Foreign Flair: https://archive.org/details/mealswithforeign00desmEdited + Produced by Miranda Zickler:http://linktr.ee/mirandatheswampmonsterMore You're Wrong About:Bonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merchSupport the show

More To The Story: When President Donald Trump returned to office last year, he promised to largely steer America clear of foreign entanglements. But over the last year, his administration has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, threatened to take over Greenland, openly talked about making Canada the 51st state, and most recently attacked Iran. In some ways, it might appear that Trump is trying to revive the American empire. Not so, says Daniel Immerwahr, a Northwestern University history professor and author of How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States. What Trump is really doing, he says, is undermining the international system itself. On this week's More To The Story, Immerwahr sits down with host Al Letson to examine Trump's attack on Iran, why Trump is ripping apart the post-World War II international order, and the long-term consequences of the president's impulsive foreign policy.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: Al Gore: Trump Administration Is the Most Corrupt in History (More To The Story)Read: Trump's New Nuclear Nightmare in Iran (Mother Jones)Read: How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States (Picador) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

On Wednesday, Justice Samuel Alito delivered the latest, probably lethal blow in the Supreme Court's decades-long campaign against multi-racial democracy in America, with a 6-3 majority opinion gutting what remained of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v Callais. In this special extra episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Janai Nelson, President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund (LDF), the nation's premier civil rights law organization. Nelson argued Louisiana v. Callais before the United States Supreme Court in October of 2025. Together, they examine the history ignored by the right wing majority, and look ahead to the disastrous consequences this ruling unleashes on American democracy, from school boards all the way to the halls of congress.This episode is member-exclusive.

Can reading about the paranormal actually open a door to something otherworldly? Some real-life accounts suggest the act of delving into the supernatural may invite more than just stories – it may invite something far darker.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: As long as there has been talk of evil spirits, ghosts, and demons, there have been tales of ways to bind, subdue, and imprison them.

Air Date: 4–29-2026 Today we explore the extraordinary clash between Pope Leo XIV and the Trump White House — a feud involving military threats, medieval papal history, and an American-born pope who refuses to back down. We'll hear why analysts say MAGA's religiosity is pure aesthetic, and what that hollowness means for the millions of Americans still taking their faith seriously.

On Wednesday, Justice Samuel Alito delivered the latest, probably lethal blow in the Supreme Court's decades-long campaign against multi-racial democracy in America, with a 6-3 majority opinion gutting what remained of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v Callais. In this special extra episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Janai Nelson, President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund (LDF), the nation's premier civil rights law organization. Nelson argued Louisiana v. Callais before the United States Supreme Court in October of 2025. Together, they examine the history ignored by the right wing majority, and look ahead to the disastrous consequences this ruling unleashes on American democracy, from school boards all the way to the halls of congress.This episode is member-exclusive.

A long time ago, in movie theaters not far away, Star Wars: A New Hope revolutionized American entertainment.

He is one of the nation's foremost experts on conversion therapy, helping to draft and pass legislation in states to protect LGBTQ youth and support survivors. He served as lead counsel in the landmark California marriage equality case, and he led NCLR's contributions to multiple Supreme Court cases, such as Pavan v. Smith, Obergefell v. Hodges, and Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. An appointee to President Obama's Commission on White House Fellowships, Shannon was one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. He has taught law at UCLA, Stanford, Golden Gate University, and Santa Clara University. Shannon is currently counsel in six cases challenging the Trump administration's anti-transgender policies, including Talbott v. Trump, which seeks to restore the right of transgender Americans to serve openly in the armed forces. His work challenging anti-transgender military policies spans nearly a decade — he previously challenged the 2017 transgender military ban under the first Trump administration, and co-chaired the Planning Commission on Transgender Military Service, which produced a comprehensive study demonstrating that inclusive service policies are both administratively feasible and militarily beneficial. Shannon has been at the forefront of efforts to protect LGBTQ+ youth from conversion therapy. He founded NCLR's Born Perfect project, a national campaign to end conversion therapy through legislation, litigation, and public education. He has helped draft laws protecting LGBTQ youth from conversion therapy across the country and continues to advocate for legal remedies to hold practitioners accountable for the harm they cause, including through malpractice, consumer fraud claims, and professional licensing sanctions. Shannon was lead counsel for same-sex couples in the landmark California marriage equality case, which was the first state supreme court decision to hold that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry and that laws discriminating based on sexual orientation are subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny. He was also counsel for married same-sex couples from Tennessee in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision establishing marriage equality nationwide, and NCLR's lead attorney in Pavan v. Smith, a 2017 Supreme Court decision requiring equal treatment of same-sex parents, and in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding nondiscrimination policies based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In 2015, President Obama appointed Shannon to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships, making him one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. Shannon called the appointment a reflection of the President's commitment to building a government that reflects the full diversity of the American people. He is co-editor of Transgender Rights (2006), the first comprehensive book on the transgender civil rights movement. Among his many honors, Shannon has received the ABA's Stonewall Award, the Ford Foundation's Leadership for a Changing World Award, the Cornell Law School Exemplary Public Service Award, the Dan Bradley Award from the National LGBTQ Bar Association, and the California Lawyer of the Year designation from California Lawyer magazine. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and his J.D. from Cornell Law School.

The American electoral foundation is shaking as reports of duplicate absentee ballots surface in key battlegrounds like Green Bay and Madison, Wisconsin. This episode dives deep into the administrative "errors" that skeptics argue are symptoms of a manufactured system designed to rob the will of the people. We examine the harrowing legal battle of patriot whistleblower Tina Peters, who remains imprisoned after uncovering alleged vulnerabilities in the voting machine matrix, while a "rotted" judicial system denies her basic motions for a fair hearing. From election integrity to the double standards of justice, we pull back the curtain on a political class that appears more interested in protecting its own power than the voices of the citizens it claims to represent.We are joined by Dr. Rich Guggenheim, an internationally recognized agricultural scientist and candidate for Colorado's State Senate District 25. Dr. Guggenheim shares his firsthand experience as a whistleblower facing disciplinary hearings for exposing the misuse of federal funds for DEI initiatives and discusses his relentless First Amendment battle against legislative "curation" of free speech. Later, we head to the streets of Philadelphia with activist John Allante McAuley. After being forcibly removed from a City Council meeting for opposing "ICE OUT" bills, McAuley breaks down the blatant violation of constitutional rights occurring in our urban centers and shares his mission to "Flip Philly Red" through raw, boots-on-the-ground engagement.This broadcast isn't just about identifying the problems; it's about the growing movement of Americans who refuse to be silenced by the manufactured chaos and division. We take a hard look at the "backstabbing" within the GOP, highlighted by Nancy Mace's revelations regarding the protection of radical figures, and contrast the treatment of patriots with those who profit from fraud and national disrespect. From the legislative halls of Denver to the council chambers of Philadelphia, the narrative is cracking. Watch as we expose the traps laid by the elite and empower you with the truth needed to reclaim accountability, representation, and the very soul of the nation.

 The American mandate for mass deportations has been sidelined, not by the will of the voters, but by a calculated surrender to political optics and donor pressure. From the high-level internal sabotage described by Greg Bovino to the targeted doxing of federal agents, the infrastructure of national sovereignty is being dismantled in real-time. As "evil-doers" in power leverage street chaos to stall the removal of millions, the citizens who voted for the restoration of the rule of law find themselves ignored, while the federal apparatus, once the guardian of the border, is forced into a strategic retreat.In the laboratories of authoritarianism like "Communist Colorado," the assault has shifted from the borders to the dinner table. Legislation like the "Kelly Loving Act" (HB 25-1312) effectively criminalizes traditional parenting, reclassifying the use of biological pronouns as "coercive control" and a precursor to stripping custody. This is not about inclusivity; it is a systemic effort to run cover for radical ideologies that groom children in secret school clubs and prioritize the "comfort" of criminals over the safety of the public. Whether it is removing anti-crime signs in Michigan or destroying the booking photos of convicted terror-funders to satisfy Islamic demands, the message is clear: American norms are being supplanted by a culture of subversion.Behind the political theater lies a deeper financial and judicial rot. While the Democratic Socialists of America tighten their grip on major hubs like Los Angeles protecting drug encampments outside school gates the global economy is signaling a historic shift. As gold and silver enter a "price discovery" phase and decouple from paper suppression, investors are left to navigate a world where central banks are hoarding physical assets in anticipation of a systemic reset. We dive deep into this "Stagflation Playbook" with experts Ben Kelleran and Vince Lanci, exposing how to protect your legacy while the institutional titans who threatened the Republic, like James Comey, finally face their day of reckoning.

In the spring of 1936, the producer of King Kong hauled a film crew to the desert of Arizona to shoot a sweeping romantic epic. But the heat was so punishing that it melted film stock, caused the lead actress to pass out, and killed the production's mascot – a baby camel.  It was the beginning of a heat wave that parked itself over America for months, quickly becoming one of the deadliest natural disasters in our country's history. It blew up sidewalks, cooked onions in the ground,  claimed at least 12,000 lives, and turned the United States into a literal frying pan.  Host Nate Hegyi talks with Geoff Williams, author of the forthcoming book The Summer of Death, about a ‘heat horror show' that transformed American life 90 years ago, and what lessons it gives us on how to survive a hotter world today.   Featuring Geoff Williams Produced by Nate Hegyi.

In this episode, Sean and James return to the Western Front to examine the Hundred Days’ Offensives—the relentless Allied campaign that finally broke the German Army in 1918. From the stunning combined-arms victory at Amiens to the grinding battles against the Hindenburg Line and the massive American-led offensives at St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, the episode traces how coordinated Allied attacks shattered German resistance. The discussion highlights the decisive roles of tanks, airpower, unified command under Ferdinand Foch, and the growing impact of American forces. Together, these operations forced Germany to seek an armistice and brought the First World War to its dramatic conclusion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two days ago, Trump demanded a comedian be fired for telling a joke. Yesterday, he ordered the Justice Department to once again indict James Comey. For what was Comey indicted for this time? Exercising his right to free speech. Like all good dictators, Trump tries to silence speech he doesn't like. Which is, for the umpteenth time, utterly un-American. Hosted on Acast.

This week on Stitch Please, Lisa calls out every sewer who's ever said, “Eh… I'll skip that step.” Yes, she's talking about under stitching, stay stitching, basting and even hand stitching (deep sigh).With humor, honesty, and a little self dragging, Lisa breaks down why those “annoying extra steps” are actually the reason some garments look fine… and others look flawless. From facings that refuse to behave to necklines that stretch into chaos, she explains exactly what goes wrong when you rush and how doing it right the first time saves you from rage sewing later.Those invisible stitches are doing very visible work. Skip them if you want… just don't be surprised when your outfit starts acting up.=====Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant========Sign Up For Lisa's Class at The Fiber and Fabric Craft Festival In Chicago===============Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

The arrest of Tony Fauci's top advisor prompts calls for the Justice Department to charge Fauci for lying to Congress about funding risky gain-of-function research in China and causing a global pandemic. WE know why we loathe the "doctor," but in this hour, we play old clips of Fauci orchestrating one of the darkest, deadliest chapters in American history. If you're a WBR frequent flier, you'll recognize the names (Daszak, Baric, Collins) that we have been exposing for 5 years.
