What does a safari look like when the guide isn't a man? Award-winning writer and editor Ellen Carpenter went to Botswana's Okavango Delta to find out. (To learn more, read her Afar story about the experience.) Meet this week's guests Ellen Carpenter is a New York–based culture and travel journalist. She served as editor in chief of Hemispheres, United's inflight magazine, for seven years, and before that was an editor at Rhapsody, Nylon, Spin, and Rolling Stone. Baemule "Bae" Siethuka, 32, grew up in Tutume in northeastern Botswana and was working in HR when she saw African Bush Camps' guiding program posted on Facebook. She became the program's first graduate in 2025 and is now a junior guide at Atzaró Okavango. Tshidi Phalaagae, 28, is a trainee guide from Gaborone, Botswana's capital — a true city girl who came to the program with, in her words, "zero knowledge of nature." At the time of Ellen's visit, she was just a few weeks shy of graduating. Jessica Motshegwa, 26, is a trainee guide from Mmadinare, Botswana, who joined the program in 2025. She once tried to enlist in the Botswana army. A Facebook link from her cousin changed her path. In this episode you'll learn Why more than 90 percent of African safari guides are male — and what one company is doing about it How African Bush Camp(ABC)'s three-year female guiding program works, from theory exams to practical training to first solo drives What it was like for Bae, ABC's first female guide, to complete her training while pregnant — and earn her license when her son was six months old Why Dutch Kasale, ABC's head guide and mentor, says training women from the city is often easier than training men who grew up in the bush What makes a female guide's approach on the game drive feel different The moment Bae manifests a leopard into view About African Bush Camps ABC was founded in 2006 by Beks Ndlovu, one of a handful of Black Africans to own a safari company. He launched the female guiding program in late 2021 with an ambitious goal: 50 percent female guides across all 18 camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia by 2030. There are currently 12 women in the program — eight trainees and four qualified guides.

In this explosive episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines how aggressive U.S. operations across Latin America are transforming the region's political, economic, and security landscape. From renewed American military activity around the Panama Canal to intensified cartel targeting in Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Venezuela, and a burgeoning strategic shift with Cuba, Washington appears to be executing a sweeping hemispheric strategy aimed at countering narco-terrorism, expanding economic influence, and rolling back Chinese encroachment. The discussion explores covert raids, intelligence cooperation, joint military operations, anti-cartel campaigns, and major mineral and energy agreements reshaping regional alliances. The episode also examines the implications for global trade, maritime security, corruption, foreign investment, and business expansion opportunities throughout the Western Hemisphere. As Operation Southern Spear expands, the future of Latin America may be entering a dramatic new era of geopolitical realignment.Takeaways:U.S. military involvement in Latin America has expanded dramatically.The Panama Canal region is becoming strategically aligned with U.S. interests again.Venezuela's political shift is opening massive U.S. energy and mining opportunities.Cuba faces growing economic collapse and increased American pressure.Ecuador has entered a new phase of joint anti-cartel operations with the United States.Intelligence and special operations activity inside Mexico has intensified significantly.Major cartel leadership losses are reshaping organized crime networks in the region.Operation Southern Spear reflects a broader U.S. effort to counter Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #LatinAmerica #CartelWar #PanamaCanal #OperationSouthernSpear #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #USMilitary #CounterNarcotics #ChinaInfluence #MexicoCartels #Venezuela #Cuba #Ecuador #DrugTrafficking #ForeignPolicy #WesternHemisphere

Andrew Harding of the Heritage Foundation breaks down the national security stakes behind potential U.S. policy shifts toward Cuba, focusing on its strategic proximity to Florida, historical use as a staging ground for adversarial influence, and its continued ties to Russia and China. He explains how Cuba remains a geopolitical foothold for intelligence activity and how changes in leadership or policy could significantly alter the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere. The conversation expands into broader regional strategy, including coordinated pressure on Venezuela and the effort to limit Chinese influence through infrastructure and port control across the Americas. Harding also addresses Iran policy, emphasizing the shared U.S. and regional objective of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, while noting that Gulf allies such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE now align more closely with Washington due to Tehran's use of proxy forces and regional destabilization. He frames the current moment as a strategic “chessboard” where U.S. actions are increasingly interconnected across multiple theaters rather than isolated conflicts.

On this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines the growing pressure campaign against Cuba and what it could mean for the future of the Western Hemisphere. With reports that the United States is preparing a potential indictment against Raúl Castro tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, tensions between Washington and Havana are escalating rapidly. The discussion explores how recent geopolitical shifts — including changes in Bolivia, increased counter-cartel cooperation with Mexico, new regional military coalitions, and Nicaragua distancing itself from Cuban migration routes — point toward a broader realignment away from Russian and Chinese influence in Latin America. Kempfer breaks down the strategic implications of renewed U.S. dominance in the region, the role of covert and overt pressure campaigns, and why Cuba may be approaching a historic turning point that could reshape hemispheric security for decades to come.Takeaways:The U.S. may pursue criminal charges against Raúl Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown.Cuba faces increasing economic and political pressure from Washington.Regional governments are shifting away from alliances with Russia and China.Bolivia's new leadership signals a return toward closer U.S. relations.Mexico is quietly expanding cooperation with U.S. counter-cartel operations.Nicaragua's policy changes suggest regional leaders are recalculating their stance toward the U.S.Operation Southern Spear and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition demonstrate growing military coordination in the hemisphere.A collapse or transformation of Cuba's communist system would dramatically reshape Western Hemisphere geopolitics.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Cuba #RaulCastro #BrothersToTheRescue #WesternHemisphere #Geopolitics #LatinAmerica #USForeignPolicy #Communism #CIA #CounterCartel #NationalSecurity #CubaCrisis #Russia #China #Narcoterrorism #GlobalThreats

In this episode, we return to Iain McGilchrist as he spirals upwards from his binary hemispheric model into full cosmic spirituality. The rule is simple: everything McGilchrist likes is due to the subtle, nuanced, and deeply sophisticated right brain, while the left brain (pffft) is responsible for reductionism, modernity, and most of the problems in your life.From this neuroscientific foundation, the theory expands with admirable ambition. Civilisations rise and fall depending on which hemisphere they inhabit. Ancient societies were properly attuned to the right brain, while the modern world has gone mechanical and spiritually bankrupt. The details are, of course, very complex, but the moral is clear.Scientific evidence features occasionally, mostly in a decorative capacity or as parables of scientists being baffled by mystical forces. Hence, we learn that decapitated worms retain perfect memories, Nobel Prizes have been awarded for demonstrating a mystical direction powering evolution, and near-death experiences establish that memories form when the brain isn't functioning.Alongside this hard science, McGilchrist also ventures into more spiritual realms, where we learn that artificial intelligence is likely to be channelling demons, schizophrenia might be caused by malign spiritual forces treating our brains as a luxury resort, and recently exorcised demons prefer to communicate via text message. No really...Ultimately, what matters is that McGilchrist's bespoke theology, bespoke metaphysics, bespoke biological teleology, and bespoke panentheist philosophy are really very impressive. And if you don't find any of it compelling, well, we are sad to inform you that this itself proves you are stuck in the wrong mode of thinking and failing to recognise true profundity.And if that doesn't work, then let's just say it was all a metaphor anyway!LinksAlex O' Connor: Why Evolution Gave You Two Brains - Iain McGilchristJonathan Pageau: Artificial Intelligence, Possession, and Mental Illness - Dr. Iain McGilchristThink Faith: Philosopher Iain McGilchrist DEBATES neuroscientist Anil Seth on God & minds | Uncommon GroundSpezio, M.

A transitional champion in wrestling is one that only holds the title for a short amount of time before they drop it to someone else. Typically it's a way to get the belt from one wrestler to another without them wrestling each other, or in cases where the title win is the most important part of the story as opposed to the actual reign itself. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Anthony Puhl (a.k.a. foolinc from the VOW Discord) look at bands who have had transitional bandmates, so to speak, where certain members are only in the group for a short amount of time.

Visit us at Network2020.org. With the 2025 National Security Strategy placing renewed emphasis on the Western Hemisphere, Washington appears poised to engage more actively in Latin America than at any time in the past three decades, prioritizing challenges such as migration, transnational crime, and growing geopolitical competition with China. At the same time, several nations, including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Haiti, and Peru, are preparing for presidential elections in 2026, with analysts anticipating continued political polarization.What are the political and economic implications of this strategic shift for Latin American countries during a new electoral cycle? How are governments across the region responding to Washington's evolving policy approach? Could a renewed U.S. focus on the hemisphere generate new flows of investment and economic engagement? And what are the implications of Washington getting distracted by other foreign policy priorities?Join us for an insightful virtual discussion that will examine how the Trump administration may seek to reassert U.S. influence in the region, and how heightened political and economic volatility, as well as an upcoming Latin American electoral cycle may impact this strategy.

President Trump has made no secret of his ambition to “take Cuba” next. It's hard to overstate the importance of such an initiative.  Obviously, freeing the long-suffering people of that island nation would end their collective nightmare caused by six decades of Communist misrule.  But it would also have profound knock-on effects for this country and its vital interests throughout the Western hemisphere.  For one thing, Cuba has provided a permanent base of operations for hostile powers including Russia, China and Iran.  Cuba's collaboration with such adversaries has extended to nations elsewhere in the region, as well – subverting its democracies and, particularly through Chinese penetration and domination of nation after nation, empowering and weaponizing its many hard-left governments.

On this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines major geopolitical developments reshaping the Western Hemisphere. The discussion begins with the deteriorating situation in Cuba, where economic collapse, power shortages, and extreme poverty are placing enormous pressure on the communist regime. Kempfer explores President Trump's statements that the United States is negotiating a significant economic agreement with Cuban leadership that could redefine relations between the two countries after decades of hostility. The episode also analyzes the newly announced “Shield of the Americas” initiative, a multinational coalition designed to combat drug cartels and transnational criminal networks throughout Latin America. With participation from numerous regional governments, the initiative reflects a more aggressive strategy aimed at dismantling cartel influence and strengthening U.S. partnerships across the hemisphere. Kempfer also explains how these moves fit into a broader strategic effort to counter China's growing influence while securing key economic resources and stabilizing the region.Takeaways:Cuba's economic crisis has intensified due to energy shortages, poverty, and hurricane damage.President Trump has discussed negotiations between the United States and Cuban leadership.Venezuela's shifting political situation has altered the balance of power in the region.The United States is expanding influence through economic and security partnerships.The new “Shield of the Americas” coalition focuses on combating drug cartels.At least 17 countries have joined the new counter-cartel coalition initiative.Strategic cooperation with regional governments reflects a pragmatic geopolitical approach.U.S. actions also aim to limit China's economic and political influence in the Western Hemisphere.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #WesternHemisphereStrategy #CubaCrisis #LatinAmericaSecurity #ShieldOfTheAmericas #CounterCartelCoalition #DrugCartelStrategy #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #VenezuelaPolitics #RegionalSecurity #StrategicCompetition #ChinaInfluence #EnergyGeopolitics #GlobalStrategy #SecurityAlliance #StrategicPolicy

A money mark is someone with a lot of money who runs a wrestling show or starts a promotion because they want to be one of the boys and be a big shot in the wrestling biz. It's not a good thing to be, either because you won't have the wrestlers' respect or you'll blow all your money and fail spectacularly. Typically both. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Rich Latta (One Nation Radio) play a selection of songs about money and all the tropes and themes associated with it. Artists played include ZZ Top, Jay-Z, Tower of Power, Madonna, Camp Lo, Fitz and the Tantrums, Rick Ross, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Charley Crockett, and many more.

Just like the opening match on a wrestling show has the important role of setting the tone, the main event has the important role of ending the show on a strong note. Not every wrestler can be a main eventer, but the ones who prove they belong are the ones who stay in that spotlight. The same can be said for the closing track on an album. Not every song works as an album closer, but the ones that do stand the test of time.

1. Support for Regime Change Without “Boots on the Ground” Regime change can be morally and strategically justified when it leads to the fall of tyrannical or hostile regimes (e.g., Soviet Union, Iran). Strongly distinguishes between: Non-military or indirect regime change (diplomatic pressure, moral support, rhetoric, economic pressure) Full-scale military invasions, which the speaker opposes based on lessons from Iraq and Libya. Frames “regime change” as a concept unfairly discredited due to past U.S. military failures. 2. Historical Analogy: Reagan and the Cold War Ronald Reagan is a model: “Peace through strength,” rebuilding the military without large-scale invasions. Moral clarity and public rhetoric (e.g., “evil empire,” “tear down this wall”) are catalysts for systemic collapse. The power of words and leadership signaling can inspire dissidents inside authoritarian regimes. 3. Iran as an Active Enemy of the United States Iran is fundamentally different from prior dictatorships: Actively funds terrorism targeting Americans Governed by a theocratic regime portrayed as irredeemable Open U.S. rhetorical and moral support for Iranian protesters and dissidents. Acknowledges uncertainty and risks following a revolution but argues the status quo is worse. 4. Venezuela: Engagement With María Corina Machado A bipartisan Senate meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado following her meeting with President Trump. Highlights her strategic emphasis on: U.S. unity Avoiding partisan attacks on Trump She is an effective, pragmatic opposition leader acting in Venezuela’s national interest. Strong ties between U.S. senators and Venezuelan communities, especially in Florida and Texas. 5. Trump’s Role in Global Opposition Movements Donald Trump’s leadership and rhetoric is a motivating force behind opposition movements in: Iran Venezuela Cuba These three countries are simultaneously nearing potential regime collapse or elections. Claims this could represent the most significant geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, while acknowledging high risks. 6. Military Operation Against Maduro (U.S. Arrest) A recent military raid targeting Nicolás Maduro: Maduro described as being protected by Cuban military forces Operation allegedly resulted in: No American fatalities Multiple enemy combatant deaths The Senator visited three wounded U.S. soldiers recovering in San Antonio.
