Dr. Betto van Waarden, Assistant Professor of History at Maastricht University, discusses his new book Politicians and Mass Media in the Age of Empire. We begin by charting the technological developments of the 19th century and how it influenced the speed and scale of news production. Then, we discuss the rise of public opinion and how it affected the media's role in the political system. We spend the rest of the episode discussing publicity politicians, the transnational media system, and how many of the political dynamics we see today can be traced to the Age of Empire.

Summary In this episode of Ditch the Suits, we dive into the complex history and current challenges of Social Security, especially in light of the recently passed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBB). Follow along as we clarify misconceptions, explain the evolution of Social Security, and discuss the impact of new legislation on benefits and taxation. Key Points Covered Historical Context: Social Security began in 1935, with tax collection starting in 1937. Originally, both employers and employees paid 1% on the first $3,000 of annual wages (about $65,000 in today's dollars). Life expectancy at the time was much lower, so few people actually received benefits. Evolution of the Program: Over time, Social Security expanded to cover more groups (spouses, widows, disabled workers, etc.) and introduced earlier retirement ages. Tax rates and the taxable wage base have increased dramatically—taxes are now 6.2% each for employees and employers, applied to income up to $176,100. Taxation of Benefits: Social Security benefits were not taxed until 1983 (Reagan administration), when up to 50% became taxable. In 1993 (Clinton administration), this increased to 85% for higher-income retirees, with the income threshold ($44,000 for married couples) never indexed for inflation. Today, many retirees pay taxes on their benefits, not just the wealthy. Political Dynamics: The program has become a political football, with changes often made for popularity rather than sustainability. Expansions in coverage and benefits were often followed by delayed tax increases to fund them. Current Issues & OBBB: The OBBB is said to give wealthy seniors a $30 billion tax break, potentially making Social Security insolvent a year earlier and risking benefit cuts of up to 24%. Every election cycle brings renewed debate about Social Security's solvency and future. Takeaways Social Security's structure and funding have changed drastically since its inception, often in response to political pressures and demographic shifts. Taxation on benefits and the lack of inflation adjustment for income thresholds have broadened the impact on retirees. The new legislation (OBBB) is controversial, with arguments about its effect on the program's solvency and fairness. The next episode will explore the specific provisions of the OBBB and clarify common misunderstandings about Social Security.

I think board games aren't just entertainment. They're not just a way to spend time with friends or family, or even alone. I think board games can be thought-provoking. They can tease our interest in a topic that we want to investigate further. Some board games can even carry an important message that is shared as we play them. These are games that I have always felt drawn to. This article is an ode to them.Read the full topic discussion article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/08/19/historical-hubris-the-draw-of-history-politics-and-purpose-topic-discussion/Useful LinksPax Pamir: Second Edition review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/08/27/pax-pamir-second-edition-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music: "Dashed Ambitions" provided by mobygratis.Music: "Cartilage" provided by mobygratis.Music: "Bird Meets Dog" provided by mobygratis.SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠(Photo by Joanna Kosinska on Unsplash)

On the end of the end of history and what comes next. Phil is back on the pod, talking with George and Alex about the big themes of the podcast. In particular, we look at a recent essay in Foreign Policy by historian Christopher Clarke called "The End of Modernity". To what extent was the 1989 moment as significant in Beijing as Berlin? Is Trump actually Stalin (but in a good way)? Is Russia the revisionist power? And if so, in what regard and what are the consequences? Who says the choice is between "liberal democracy" and "authoritarian populism"? Then, we take your questions and comments from the past month.

AirTalk has been there to help Southern Californians navigate the latest political, historical, and scientific news. We’re joined by some of the most prominent and long-time guests to join the show and help listeners better understand the different facets of L.A. Joining is Fernando Guerra, professor of political science and Chicana/o Latina/o studies at Loyola Marymount University, Dr. Lucy Jones, seismologist and founder and chief scientist at the Lucy Jones Center for Science & Society, a natural disaster risk reduction research organization, and Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and former L.A. city councilmember and county supervisor.

Together, the adherents of Christianity and Islam make up over half of the world's population, and their numbers are expected to keep growing. The influence of these two faiths—and their relations with each other—is seen in politics, economics, and social interactions. Religious identity and aspirations remain powerful and appealing to people around the world. Understanding global realities today requires understanding the histories and dynamics of the world's largest religions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Christianity and Islam, covering three interrelated areas: historical developments and encounters, the influence of religion on politics, and religious beliefs and worldviews. Wafik W. Wahba highlights key points of similarity and difference and particular factors that contributed to divergence between the Western world and the Muslim world. Exploring the various narratives that have shaped both Christianity and Islam, he argues, is crucial to understanding current trends in Christian-Muslim interactions and their impact on future relations between the two communities globally. Drawing from decades of experience teaching around the world, Wahba clarifies core beliefs that influence the actions of Muslims and Christians and their attitudes toward the other faith. Global Christianity and Islam: Exploring History, Politics, and Beliefs (InterVarsity Press, 2025) demonstrates how learning from the past should help us avoid repeating mistakes in interactions between religious communities. Dave Broucek, retired missionary, mission educator and mission administrator, is a lifelong learner in the field of global mission. He values authors who provide critical reflection on the history, theology and practice of Christian mission and considers it a privilege to host author interviews to disseminate their work to a wider public.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Wafik Wahba, professor of global Christianity at Tyndale University in Toronto, Canada. His brand-new book Global Christianity and Islam: Exploring History, Politics, and Beliefs (out February 2025 on IVP), explores the complex history of the relationship between Christianity and Islam, how they have shaped the modern world, and their theological similarities and differences. We will discuss the intricate history of Christianity and Islam, how they have shaped both society and politics in the modern world, and how Christians and Muslims understand God, Jesus, human nature, salvation, and community. This is an excellent primer on both Islam and the deeply interconnected history of Christianity and Islam. Media Referenced:Global Christianity and Islam: https://a.co/d/bJvbiXOWafik Wahba Tyndale page: https://www.tyndale.ca/faculty/wafik-wahbaThe Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

People of all genders have rimmed their eyes with pigment for thousands of years. But as Zahra Hankir explains in her new book on the history of eyeliner, its use goes far beyond aesthetics. Eyeliner has also served as a vehicle for identity, self-expression, empowerment and protest. Bedouin men in the deserts of Arabia have worn it to repel the sun – and attract potential mates. Egyptian Queen Nefertiti's celebrated beauty centered on her perfectly winged lines. In modern-day Iran, women wear eyeliner as a form of resistance against an oppressive regime. Hankir joins us to discuss “Eyeliner: A Cultural History.” Guests: Zahra Hankir, author, "Eyeliner: A Cultural History," and "Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World" - Hankir is a Lebanese-British journalist

On a decade of protest around the world.   Journalist Vincent Bevins is back on the podcast to talk about his new book, If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution. We discuss the 2010s protest wave across countries as varied as Egypt, Turkey, Brazil, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Chile, Bahrain, Yemen, South Korea and Tunisia.   We ask: Why were protests in places that were so different all look so similar? Why was there such a focus on spontaneity, leaderlessness, peformativity, and horizontalism? What are some examples of the ways protests rejected representation? Was class or generation more important in driving these protests? Why did media becomes so important in pursuing political change? How can we avoid a repeat of the failures of the 2010s?

Farai interviews Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry, award-winning journalist, author, and host of WNYC's “The Takeaway”, on reimagining how we view U.S. history and politics, specifically regarding how Black women in media and academia shape our nation's progress. Then, Farai speaks with Tiffany Dufu, founder of The Cru, a peer coaching platform that provides women with community and resources to achieve professional goals and advance their careers.

On today's episode we hit sports hard...talking college football and NFL and the $9.99 plan for the good picks.  Then we transition into a subject that Dan doesn't care about, history.  We then go into Twitter's new focus of the democrats due to a change in ownership, for whatever reason.  It was fine before Elon owned it (I don't know if that was because they didn't put their shit on, or what), and talk about the death of free speech (or do they not care about free speech because of Biden and Karl from Slingblade's inability to speak?  We leave that up to you.  Dan believes the earth is flat, and The Truman Show is apparently real.  But, the biggest thing he brought to the table were two women working to end a pandemic.  God bless them.    China is afraid of Biden, so they are increasing their nuclear arsenal for defense.  Download, download, download, email admin@onemoreandimouttahere.com, and follow our social media accounts.  Guess what that name is?

Today's episode got sideways after history and Kennedy.  No matter what we tried, we could not stop the barrister from regaling us and the audience with stories of his legal battles when unleashed upon the justice system.  More to come later (hopefully much later).  Download where your favorite podcast is located, visit the site at onemoreandimouttahere.com and email admin@onemoreandimouttahere.comThank you.

Before the excitement begins, Quimm City Productions would like to remind everyone that Black lives matter. We are not unaware of some of the accusations that have come up against the organization using that phrase as a name, but that does not negate the accuracy and necessity of the statement. If you believe Black lives matter, please use whatever resources you have to show up for living Black people. This includes support of the survivors of the murdered and accountability by those that have caused harm. That accountability must start in our own mirrors. So go forth, learn, grow, dismantle white supremacy. XXOXQuimm History is a podcast about badly behaved femmes. What follows the BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?The ‘GOD DAMN!'Or in this case Clara and the Great Goddamn. The pro-collector and hobbyist (in her words) historian of stimulating antiques give the Quimm City producers a crash course in procurable pleasure aids. Come take a ride with us!Love what you heard?  Here is a suggested reading/listening/viewing list: The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm (1970) by Anne Koedt Sex for One (1987) by Betty Dodson Technology of Orgasm (1998) by Rachel MainesVibrator Nation (2017) by Lynn ComellaBuzz: The Stimulating History of the Sex Toy (2017) by Hallie LiebermanA Short History of the Vibrator (2018) by Jen Bell helloclue.comHow the Brain Lost its Mind (2019) by Allan H.
