Sphinx Spiritual takes instruction from a council of entities that includes Leonardo da Vinci, Lady Di, Sir Francis Bacon, Mahatma Ghandi, an alien called Zootor, and married Mornington Peninsula couple Ian and Pearl Rogers.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

A 250‑episode milestone and a cracking chat to celebrate it. Sam, Leon and Rich open with family chaos, birthday shoutouts and a chaotic debrief on the Stone Auto win before welcoming Jon Ralph from the Herald Sun and Fox Footy — the AFL oracle himself.Ralphie breaks down Michael Voss' sacking, Carlton's list mess, the coaching landscape, and why the Blues keep tripping over their own shoelaces. The boys dive into the stand‑rule farce, zoning, defensive transition, player accountability, Pendlebury's golden‑number circus, and the AFL's looming push for full‑time club psychiatrists.Sharp, funny, occasionally unhinged — classic Sport & Life.

Οι καταγγελίες σχετικά με τη φροντίδα ηλικιωμένων, έχουν αυξηθεί κατακόρυφα τους τελευταίους έξι μήνες, μετά από τις μεταρρυθμίσεις που επιτρέπουν στους παρόχους να καθορίζουν τις τιμές, για υποστηρικτικές υπηρεσίες, όπως για παράδειγμα για ένα ντους με βοήθεια στο σπίτι. Το ποσό αυτό, σύμφωνα με αποκλειστικό δημοσίευμα της εφημερίδας ‘Herald Sun', είχε ανέλθει, ακόμη και στα 180 δολάρια επιβάρυνσης για έναν ηλικιωμένο, προτού γίνει σχετική κυβερνητική παρέμβαση.
Richard is joined by Pilar Orti and Brie Caggiati , co-authors of 'Connection and Disconnection in Remote Teams', a book that grew out of a season of the 21st Century Work Life podcast. They discuss the misconceptions that exist about remote work (and co-located office work!) and the role that organisational leaders, managers and individual employees can play in improving connection - whatever their work set-up. They flag the importance of job design, intentional communication, and the latitude individual employees have to make their remote working day work for them. How do you and your colleagues navigate the remote work challenge? Have you been summoned back to the office? How do you make remote work into something that works for you?

As we celebrate St Patrick's Day, Billy kicks off the show with the All Sports Report - featuring something we should've done yesterday. Melbourne captain Max Gawn is in studio after their win over the Saints, and debate rages over how to pronounce Jacob Van Rooyen's name.

NEWS WEAKLY 202, 28 Feb 2026Episode title: Difficulty Level: NationalHello and welcome to News Weakly, where we punch the news in the headlines weakly. This week, the world is in multiple active spirals, but Australia has bravely chosen to centre a word association game like it is the Cuban Missile Crisis with better catering.Top Stories of the Week1) Things get difficult for AlboAnthony Albanese describes Grace Tame as “difficult” during a Herald Sun conference word association game, and suddenly the nation discovers that adjectives can carry freight. The real story is not just the word, it is what the word has historically meant when men apply it to women, and how quickly a flimsy media moment becomes a full week of moral theatre. Then Tame responds on Instagram, politicians demand titles be stripped, commentators run their diagnostics, and Australia convinces itself it is doing political analysis while mostly doing a social media reading comprehension test.2) Geneva Conventionally InsaneThe US and Iran meet in Geneva for indirect nuclear talks, mediated by Oman, with messages passed back and forth like divorced parents refusing to make eye contact at a school recital. Everyone says they want to avoid war while moving military hardware around like it is a hobby. The argument is about enrichment and rebuilding, but the anxiety sits in the region, especially Lebanon, where Hezbollah and Israel both know how quickly “posturing” turns into “miscalculation.”3) Can we ban all teenagersNSW Police data records 197 incidents of anti LGBTQIA+ hate related violence since 2023, with a disturbing pattern of teenage boys luring victims on dating and hook up apps, then assaulting and robbing them, sometimes filming it. The ideology varies, the method does not. Extremism is a franchise model now. Different uniforms, same obsession, same fixation on queer bodies as a site for performance, humiliation, and cruelty.Quote of the Week“We are treating a throwaway word in a word game as if it were a constitutional crisis.”Support the showYou can back the show on Patreon.com/samishah.

A media blitz today has seen some startling developments in the Parramatta Eels vs Zac Lomax saga as Melbourne CEO Matt Tripp looked to get ahead of incoming bombshell news surrounding subpoenaed emails in a bold interview with the Herald Sun. The Tip Sheet looks at Tripp's sensational claims and stack it up against the opening arguments put forth by the Eels via Arthur Moses as well as the counterpoints laid down by the Lomax camp. The boys take a very quick peek at the first Team List Tuesday of the season with the Junior Reps kicking off this weekend...but save the good stuff for a special preview podcast that will feature Steve Georgallis and AJ Lucantonio!
