Hello Witches In today's episode we journey through December folklore, peeling back the Christian veils to reveal the older stranger magic beneath. This episode begins with with St Lucy's Day. Beneath the saint lies lore entwined with Lilith, Lucifer, witches, trolls and wandering spirits — revealing how this 'festival of light' once belonged to the darkest nights of the year. From there, we descend into the symbolism of the sickle — a tool of harvest, severing and fate. We explore its mythic lineage through Morana, Mokosh, Cronus, Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the Druidic priesthood. You will hear about the magical uses of sickles across Europe, their protective and banishing powers and how you might weave this ancient blade into your own witchcraft practice today. We close with a look at Mothers' Night (Modranicht) — the Anglo-Saxon celebration honouring ancestral mothers, protective spirits and the deep feminine that presides over midwinter. Also includes some simple, meaningful ways to honour this sacred night in your personal craft.

Saudi Arabia Seeks Nuclear Capabilities: Colleague Henry Sokolski explains that Saudi Arabia wants a nuclear power plant but resists signing US protocols allowing inspections; while Washington may view this as a hedge against Iran, a Saudi nuclear capability would threaten Israel's qualitative military edge, and the US has not yet granted advanced consent for enrichment.

The government's new environmental improvement plan for England is launched today. The Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs has set out what it calls 'an ambitious roadmap' with a 'clear plan to restore the environment.' That encompasses a new plan to stop pollution from forever chemicals, tougher measures on waste crime and more tree planting. They also highlight £500 million worth of funding for the landscape recovery schemes, long term, big scale projects where landowners work together to improve nature. We ask Wildlife and Countryside Link, a coalition of 94 environmental and wildlife groups, what they make of the plan. Storm Desmond hit the North West of England 10 years ago and brought record breaking amounts of heavy rain: a month's worth fell in just 24 hours. That led to flooding, bridges, roads and livestock were washed away, farmland ruined and thousands of homes inundated. The eventual bill for the damage was put at more than a billion pounds. In Glenridding in Cumbria the flooding led to a project working with farmers, nature and the landscape. Its aim: to try and reduce the vulnerability of the area to future flooding. All week we're going to look at the jobs left for winter when things on the farm are a bit quieter. We're starting with hedge laying: winter is the traditional time to tackle this - the birds have long finished nesting, and by partly cutting through the trees and shrubs that you lay over to form the hedge, you allow it to rejuvenate in time for next spring. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

For many investors approaching or navigating retirement, the world of private markets can feel intimidating. Over the past 30 years, the number of public companies in the capital markets has declined by 30% while private markets have grown at the same rate. This means failing to understand the rapidly growing asset class of private markets and alternatives could mean missing opportunities for diversification, income, and potential returns in retirement. In this episode, we're welcoming Jon Diorio, Head of Alternatives for BlackRock's U.S. wealth management business. Jon shares valuable insights into the massive shift in capital markets and explains why private equity, private credit, and other alternative investments are becoming increasingly relevant for everyday investors—not just institutions. In this conversation, Jon breaks down the trends driving private market growth, the different types of alternative investments investors should have on their radar, how new product structures have improved accessibility, and what today's retirees should know before considering alternatives and private markets in their portfolios. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why private companies now outnumber public companies and what that means for diversification. How private credit has surged as banks retreat from lending. The benefits and tradeoffs of new "evergreen" and semi-liquid fund structures. Why due diligence, liquidity awareness, and manager selection matter in alternatives. How BlackRock's HDMA framework (Hedge, Diversify, Modify, Amplify) helps identify the right type of alternative investment for your goals. What investors should know before adding private equity or private credit to their retirement plan. Want the Full Show Notes?

The financial system we rely on today isn't what it used to be. From the Fed's creation of "reserves" instead of real money to the collateral-driven markets that emerged after 2008, Lance Roberts & Garrett Baldwin break down how the game has changed—and what it means for your wealth. We cover everything from repo markets, ETFs, and the Buffett Indicator to the rise of passive investing and why sovereign nations are quietly buying gold. Plus, we explore how debasement works in real terms—through asset prices, housing costs, and purchasing power—and why education about money is more important than ever for the next generation.

Whatever you need, chances are you can find it—along with a few things you absolutely don't—in the goblin markets of the Hedge and similarly liminal spaces. The market is a dumping ground for any and all story hooks, an opportunity to dole out all kinds of boons, and a space to explore the more ordinary side of fae socialization. While markets are regularly featured in Changeling: the Lost books, the eponymous book Goblin Markets goes into brisk yet exquisite detail about their mechanics and possibilities. It's a short one, clocking in at less than 50 pages, but the density of crunch gives us plenty to talk about the wonders and dangers lurking behind every tent flap.

America isn't just leading the AI race; it's increasingly built on it. Investor–author Ruchir Sharma joins Bankless to unpack why U.S. growth, stock gains, and even debt complacency are now tethered to a single story, and what a sensible hedge looks like. We trace how U.S. dominance happened, what could puncture the current euphoria, and where the real diversification lives: quality stocks that have lagged, broad ex-US exposure with currency tailwinds, and selective bets in India, China, and reform winners like Greece and Poland. We also tackle the “gold + stocks up together” puzzle, why that correlation can bite in a tightening cycle, and Ruchir's “two cheers” case for Bitcoin as a portfolio asset whose utility still has room to grow. ---

As markets evolve and the traditional 60/40 portfolio faces new challenges, are hedge funds becoming the next core allocation for resilient investing?

Entrepreneurship Is a Hedge, Not a RiskAI is hollowing out the entry-level ladder—and waiting for “safe” jobs might be the riskiest bet of all. In this episode, I make the case that entrepreneurship isn't a leap off a cliff; it's a hedge against uncertainty. We start with why doing beats studying: real skills—focus, math-in-action, communication, selling, project ownership—grow faster through small businesses and gigs than through lectures. Youth (and career-changers) should learn by shipping, reflecting, and iterating with a mentor—more like a trade than a theory class.Then we track how once-stable white-collar roles (fitness coaching, accounting, creative services, even analysis work) now reward entrepreneurial abilities: building relationships, marketing yourself, collaborating, packaging outcomes, and selling solutions. These aren't “nice to have”; they're the new prerequisites.Finally, we explore entrepreneurship as a practical hedge. Instead of graduating into debt, degree, and delay, you can earn while you learn—stacking micro-projects, building a network, and compounding skills that can't be automated or taxed away. Whether you go full-time or keep a job, a small business gives you agency: more ways to make money, more optionality in downturns, and a faster path to confidence and competence. Don't wait for permission. Start small, start now, and let experience be the teacher that sticks.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

Planning a hedge can feel like a maze: endless species, mixed advice, and pressure to get it right for the long haul. We cut through the noise with a clear framework that starts with purpose, respects your site, and ends with a shortlist you can trust. Whether you want privacy that feels soft, a living windbreak, neat garden rooms, or a wildlife corridor buzzing with life, you'll find practical picks and honest trade-offs.We dive into deciduous stalwarts like beech and hornbeam, explaining why beech remains a favourite for structure and low maintenance, and when hornbeam wins on wetter ground. For biodiversity, we show how to build a native mix—hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, viburnum opulus, and rugosa rose—that feeds pollinators and birds through the seasons. We also explain why tight clipping hides flowers and berries, and how to let sections grow out for real ecological value without losing order.If evergreen is your brief, we unpack cotoneaster cornubia's glossy leaves and autumn berries, griselinia's coastal toughness, slow but classy holly, and the underrated reliability of privet and escallonia where frost is light. We give straight talk on photinia's red flush versus real-world maintenance, and chat about our bad memeroies of leylandii and look at better conifer choices like Thuja ‘Emerald'. We also share when laurel is manageable and when it becomes a long-term problem for landscapes. For those who love clean lines, yew offers timeless elegance, while box still frames spaces beautifully, with lonicera as a tougher alternative where knocks happen.You'll leave with a simple decision path: define the job, assess wind, frost, wet, choose evergreen or deciduous with intent, and pick spacing that fills without waste. We wrap with smart screening tactics that may only need a handful of well-placed plants to block sightlines and keep your view.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this enlightening conversation, Collin Plume shares his journey into the world of precious metals, particularly silver, and discusses its significance as a wealth protection tool. He elaborates on the industrial uses of silver, its recent price surge, and the long-term investment strategies that can benefit investors. The discussion also touches on the role of central banks in the silver market and offers practical steps for new investors looking to diversify their portfolios with silver.Main Points: Collin's journey into precious metals began with his grandfather's gift of silver coins.Gold and silver are considered real money, unlike fiat currency.The demand for silver is driven by over 10,000 industrial uses.Recent price surges in silver are influenced by geopolitical factors and market sentiment.Investing in silver can provide a hedge against economic uncertainty.Central banks are increasingly buying gold and silver as a strategic investment.Silver's industrial demand is expected to grow, leading to potential shortages.Investors should consider the long-term value of silver rather than short-term fluctuations.Building a relationship with a trusted investment firm is crucial for new investors.Physical ownership of silver offers a tangible asset in an increasingly digital world.Connect with Collin Plume:https://www.linkedin.com/company/noble-gold-investments/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.facebook.com/NobleGoldInvestments?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.instagram.com/noblegoldinvestments?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==X: @NobleGoldIRAhttps://www.youtube.com/@NobleGoldhttps://www.tiktok.com/@noblegoldinvestments

Send us a textIf the hedge around Job wasn't about his wealth, what did God actually protect? We take you inside a spirited, scripture-rich exploration that reframes the classic story: Satan targeted the outside, but God guarded the inside. From a quick tour of Job's opening chapters to the Hebrew nuance of “hedge” as a guarded vineyard wall, we track how divine boundaries limit the enemy while preserving the core that matters—faith, fidelity, and life before God.You'll hear a medical perspective on how Job's afflictions could have been fatal without a supernatural limit, which brings the point home: God set terms that preserved Job's life and, more importantly, the integrity of his faithfulness. We wrestle through Satan's bold claim that loss would provoke cursing and consider an unsettling implication—Satan expects Job to live, and he underestimates where the hedge truly lies. That insight opens to a larger theme: we are kept by God's power, and the enemy's aim is to downgrade the quality of our eternity by shifting our trust from God to gifts.Together we name a simple, demanding pattern drawn straight from the text: be perfect, be upright, fear God, eschew evil. Not perfectionism, but wholeness; not image, but inner reality. Along the way, we challenge the modern reflex to equate blessing with accumulation and call out the danger of a system that rewards the external while neglecting the heart. Job's story exposes that trap and invites a different measure of success: a faith God plants and God preserves, even when everything else falls away.If this conversation sparked fresh thinking about suffering, protection, and what God values most, hit follow, share it with a friend who needs this perspective, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if the fiercest test of faith isn't loss itself but the accusation behind it—that you only love God for what He gives? We walk through Job's opening drama, where Satan calls Job “spoiled,” and we examine how that lie still stalks modern faith, especially in seasons of comfort and prosperity.We open with the antichrist spirit and the drift that follows unchecked prosperity, then ground the conversation in Scripture: 1 Samuel's unblushing claim that the Lord brings low and lifts up, and James' steadying call to be swift to hear and slow to wrath. From there, we tackle narcissism as the pattern of rebellion, the way it fuels enmity toward God, and how focusing on things above breaks its spell. The Job narrative becomes a lens for spiritual warfare: Satan recognizes God as the source of all good yet twists motive into accusation, insisting devotion is just payment for perks.The conversation pushes deeper into theology and hope. We contrast the angels' fall with the grace given to humanity—Christ provided a Savior for us, not for them—and wrestle with why so much bad doctrine starts with a soft view of human nature. If we're merely wounded, willpower looks heroic; if we're dead in sin, salvation is a sovereign resurrection. Colossians' warning against “will worship” lands with force, reframing faith as gift rather than self-generated achievement. Against that backdrop, Job's hedge of protection makes sense: God may lower it for a time, yet He guards what matters most—our life in Him and the quality of our eternity.Expect a candid, Scripture-soaked journey that blends theology with practical wisdom: how prosperity can rot conviction, why trials purify love, and how to anchor your heart when motives are under fire. If you've ever wondered whether your devotion would survive without benefits, this conversation offers clarity and courage.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in a storm, and leave a review with one insight you're taking into the week. Your words help others find hope.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if your losses don't mean God left you but prove He's closer than you imagined? We open with laughter, travel plans, and the simple joy of hugging friends again, then move straight into the raw center of the book of Job: accusations, anguish, and an unbroken bond between the Giver and those He loves. Along the way, we weigh a tough claim—do we love God or just His gifts—and ask what a divine hedge actually protects when life burns down.Together, we confront the lie that prosperity guarantees favor and suffering signals failure. You'll hear a father's hard wisdom about friendship, followed by a bolder truth: even our best relationships can't carry the weight that only Christ can bear. We share a gripping testimony of a physician's fall from status to a basement room and how presence—not platitudes—carried him through. Another voice raises a startling question: if everything you counted on was gone, would your heart still say Abba Father? The conversation doesn't dodge pain or tidy it up; it shows how the Spirit witnesses within us when words fail and how real fellowship refuses to be like Job's friends who accused instead of comforted.We press into the text where Satan challenges Job's motives and, ironically, admits something true: God sets a hedge. Not a fence to block every blow but a boundary that keeps faith from failing. We trace how that changes the way we read our own lives—how humility grows when plans collapse, how assurance rests on God's character rather than our performance, and how to show up for people without handing them shame. If you've ever wondered whether you're held when you're hurting, this conversation offers sturdy hope, honest stories, and a better way to measure your life than outcomes.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a review so others can find these conversations.

Send us a textWhat if your devotion were put on trial, not by critics online, but before the throne of God? We open Job 1:6–12 and sit with the shock of a scene where Satan accuses, God permits within boundaries, and a faithful man stands to be tested. The famous “hedge” becomes more than a metaphor; it is a fivefold inventory of protection and prosperity that the accuser twists into a claim that worship is just a transaction. We push back on that claim with Scripture, reason, and lived experience.Together we read the text and explore the difference between divine foreknowledge as a hunch and divine decree as certainty. If God truly knows the future, how does he know? We argue the hard but hopeful case: he knows because he orders, and his ordering is never cruel. That frame turns trials into training—limits are set, purpose is preserved, and grace meets us where our strength runs out. Our conversation gets real as panelists share fresh losses, anger, confession, and unexpected courage, showing how Job's questions walk into modern paychecks, deployments, and hard conversations.You'll leave with a clearer view of the fivefold hedge, a deeper grasp of why Satan surveils the righteous, and a practical picture of contentment that holds in feast and famine. Most of all, you'll hear why praise that survives subtraction is the kind of testimony no accusation can erase. If you're navigating setback or staring down uncertainty, this study offers sturdy hope anchored in God's sovereignty and kindness.If this helped steady your heart, follow the show, share it with a friend who's hurting, and leave a quick review so others can find these studies.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Mike Dillard has built three eight-figure businesses and spent two decades teaching entrepreneurs how to invest, grow passive income, and build long-term wealth. In this episode, he shares his hard-won lessons about building wealth in a world reshaped by AI, inflation, and disruption. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why accumulation and real assets beat risky bets in the long run. How AI will reshape the economy—bringing both deflation and massive unemployment. Why Bitcoin and gold are essential hedges against a declining dollar. The power of automation tools that take human emotion out of money management (and how to set them up). A tax strategy that lets you invest up to $140K per year—completely tax-free on the gains. How entrepreneurs can break free from the “make it, spend it, risk it” cycle and build lasting wealth. This is a playbook for anyone who wants to protect their family, create consistency in uncertain times, and set up a financial system that literally makes you richer every day. ________________________________________________________  

The U.S. government spends a ton of money, on everything from Medicare to roads to defense. In fact, it spends way more than it takes in. So…it borrows money, in the bond market. By selling U.S. Treasurys, basically IOUs with periodic interest payments. And for decades, people have loved to invest in Treasurys, for their safety and security. But lately, Treasurys have started to look riskier. In part because, in recent years, there's a new buyer at the table: hedge funds, those loosely-regulated financial companies that invest on behalf of institutions and wealthy clients. They have started doing a special trade called the “Treasury basis trade.” And, depending on who you talk to, this trade could destabilize our entire financial system. Or help the U.S. government borrow more money. Or both. On the latest episode: how and why are hedge funds getting into Treasurys? We follow how a Treasury travels from the nest into the hands of hedge funds. And we speak to someone from one of those hedge funds, about what they're doing and why.Pre-order the Planet Money book, and get a free gift / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Mary Childs and Kenny Malone.
