No SciCast dessa semana convidamos a Profa. Monique Sochaczewski para conversar sobre a história de um país construído sobre a negação do próprio passado (e do que acontece quando esse passado volta). Do colapso do Império Otomano e da tutela europeia do século XIX às reformas radicais de Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, que trocou o alfabeto, a lei, a capital e até a chamada à oração; dos golpes militares e da Guerra Fria à ascensão de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan e ao chamado neo-otomanismo, com suas pontes, suas séries e novelas de TV, sua diplomacia e a reconversão da Ayasofya. Entenda por que a Turquia é ao mesmo tempo membro da OTAN e candidata eterna à União Europeia, por que Brasília e Ancara mediaram juntas a crise nuclear iraniana, e por que o Império Otomano nunca deixou de ser um assunto de política externa. Kemalismo, laicidade, Diyanet, questão curda, Primavera Árabe, golpe de 2016, Ayasofya, neo-otomanismo e pan-turquismo. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Sugestões de filmes e séries: Muhteşem Yüzyıl (O Século Magnífico, 2011-2014) — o fenômeno que reintroduziu o Império no imaginário popular e foi criticado pelo próprio Erdoğan. Diriliş: Ertuğrul (Ressurreição: Ertuğrul, 2014-2019) — o contraponto épico e moralizante, endossado pelo governo. Kuruluş: Osman (O Otomano, 2019-2025) — continuação direta de Ertuğrul. Payitaht: Abdülhamid (O Último Imperador, 2017-2021) — o cerco ocidental como alegoria do presente. Rise of Empires: Ottoman (Netflix, 2020; 2ª temporada, Mehmed vs Vlad, 2022) — o passado otomano no streaming global. Fetih 1453 (2012) — a Conquista de Constantinopla em chave épica. Era uma vez na Anatólia (2011) e Sono de Inverno (2014), de Nuri Bilge Ceylan — a Turquia contemporânea vista de dentro, longe da épica estatal. Mustang (2015) — tradição, religião e juventude feminina na Turquia rural. Galípoli (1981) e O Mestre da Água (2014) — a mesma batalha vista pelo lado australiano; útil para mostrar como Galípoli virou mito fundador em dois países ao mesmo tempo. 8 em Istambul O Museu da Inocência Sugestões de vídeos e links: Registros em vídeo do discurso de inauguração da ponte Yavuz Sultan Selim (agosto de 2016) e da primeira oração de sexta-feira na Ayasofya (julho de 2020) — vale ouvir o tom, não só ler as frases.

Sugestões de games: Assassin’s Creed Revelations (2011) — ambientado em Constantinopla/Istambul no início do século XVI, com janízaros, o Grande Bazar e a cidade otomana reconstruída em detalhe. O melhor "passeio" jogável pela capital imperial. Europa Universalis IV — jogar como os otomanos é praticamente um subgênero; o jogo modela expansão, administração da diferença religiosa e o problema do declínio. Age of Empires II — a civilização turca e a great bombard, o canhão gigante associado ao cerco de 1453. Civilization (série) — Solimão e Osman como líderes jogáveis; útil para mostrar como o Império entrou na cultura pop ocidental sempre pelo lado militar.

As of the release of this episode, Christa Pike remains scheduled to be executed by lethal injection by the State of Tennessee on September 30, 2026. If that status changes or new information becomes available, we will update accordingly. Interested in going to the Netherlands with us? Scroll to the bottom for info. Little Devil: Christa Pike On the evening of January 12, 1995, Christa Pike stepped into the room of her friend Kim Iloilo at the Knoxville Job Corps Center and casually announced that she, her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, their friend Shadolla Peterson, and Colleen Slemmer were heading out to smoke marijuana. The combination immediately struck Kim as odd. Christa hated Colleen. So why, suddenly, were they going anywhere together? When Kim questioned her, Christa simply smiled, winked, and walked away. A little more than two hours later, at approximately 10:15 p.m., Kim saw Christa, Tadaryl, and Shadolla return to the center. Colleen did not return. What had happened during those missing hours would become one of the most brutal murder cases in Tennessee history and a pending execution that is slated to happen on September 30, 2026. If the execution happens this month, she will be the first woman executed by the state of Tennessee since 1820. Join Cam and Jen as we discuss “Lil Devil”: Christa Pike's Road to Execution — The Murder of Colleen Slemmer.

Garrett Holt on growing up as Toby's brother and learning patience in a special needs family Becky Davidson talks with Garrett Holt, a junior at Cedarville University studying IT management, about life as the brother of Toby Holt, who has spina bifida and significant medical needs. The conversation focuses on sibling dynamics, family rhythms, and how growing up in that environment shaped Garrett's patience, perspective, and relationships. Garrett also shares how games, shared interests, and intentional conversation helped him build a stronger bond with Toby over time. Key topics Garrett's current life in college - He is a junior at Cedarville University studying IT management because he wanted a people-focused path in the tech world. Family bonding through games - Board games, card games, video games, and sports have been a major part of the Holt family culture. What it was like being the second oldest - Garrett reflects on being in the middle of Connor, Toby, and Karis, and how that shaped his role in the family. Growing up with Toby's medical needs - He remembers ambulances, hospital stays, surgeries, and the way those emergencies became part of the family's normal. Homeschooling as a family adjustment - Garrett explains that homeschooling helped the family handle Toby's frequent appointments and unpredictable medical schedule. Living with nurses in the home - He shares how having caregivers around the house affected privacy, comfort, and family dynamics. From sibling rivalry to intentional relationship - Garrett describes how his relationship with Toby evolved from butting heads to finding connection through shared interests like Star Wars, movies, and games. How Toby is often underestimated - He notes that people tend to focus on Toby's physical limitations and miss his personality, curiosity, humor, and depth. What special needs siblinghood taught him socially - Garrett says he became less assumption-driven, more patient, and more aware that people's situations are often invisible. Advice for younger siblings - His main advice is to be patient, ask questions, include the sibling more intentionally, and focus on who you're with rather than just what you're doing.

What makes a brand so good that customers keep coming back?In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Holt, CMO of Center Parcs UK & Ireland, to unpack the thinking behind one of the UK's most loved experience brands, her approach to marketing leadership, customer experience, commercial growth and the rapidly changing world of AI.Sarah shares how Center Parcs achieved record revenue of £758 million, record EBITDA of £323.9 million and its highest ever occupancy of 97.5%, while revealing why the real secret to the brand's success isn't advertising.It's the experience customers have once they're there.We explore why Sarah would choose investing in customer experience over increasing the marketing budget, how she approached her first 90 days as CMO, why she deliberately spent her first 100 days learning rather than fixing, and how she identified three key areas for transformation - brand, personalization and capability.

Die Aktion der niederländischen Notenbank hat international viel Aufsehen erregt. Über Monate hat sie insgesamt 78 Tonnen Gold aus den USA abgezogen und nach London verlegt. Und die Niederlande sind damit kein Einzelfall. Immer mehr Notenbanken ziehen ihre Goldreserven aus den USA ab. Eine reine Vorsichtsmassnahme für Finanzkrisen, oder bröckelt das Vertrauen in die Verlässlichkeit der USA?

Caris Holt on Being a Sibling to a Child with Special Needs Becky Davidson talks with Caris Holt, daughter of Carrie Holt and sister of Toby, about what it means to grow up as a sibling to someone with disabilities and special needs. Caris shares how that shaped her family life, her faith, and her sense of identity, while also naming the grief, loneliness, and pressure that can come with the role.In this conversation, Becky and Caris discuss the hidden emotional load on siblings, the importance of being seen as an individual, and how counseling and faith have helped Caris process what she feels. Caris also shares the creative interests and church leadership that help define her beyond her family role. Key topics Karis introduces herself as the youngest of four, with three older brothers, and shares the creative things she loves: fiction writing, fantasy, drawing, piano, music, horseback riding, and faith. She talks about leading third grade girls at church and how their openness has taught her that there is no such thing as a dumb question. Karis describes growing up in a home where nurses and care support were often present, which reduced privacy and made her feel more independent at a young age. She shares how being Toby's sister has brought unexpected gifts, including family closeness, resilience, prayer, grief shared together, and special experiences through a nonprofit called A Kid Again. Becky and Karis discuss the visibility of Toby's disability and how easy it is for others to reduce him to his wheelchair instead of seeing his humor, kindness, and compassion. Karis opens up about the pressure she felt to stay quiet, blend into the background, and not take up too much attention because Toby needed so much care. She reflects on learning to take up space, name her needs, and accept that she is also a person whose needs matter. Karis explains that special needs impact the whole family, not just the child with the diagnosis, and says siblings need to be asked how they are doing too. She shares how her parents supported her by making room for her own interests, friendships, and rest away from the demands of home. Karis describes how family, cousins, and church relationships have helped Toby feel included and have given both siblings a sense of belonging. She talks about how she and Toby have grown closer over time, including deeper conversations and shared interests like Star Wars. Karis explains how faith, especially trusting God's faithfulness through hard seasons, has given her purpose and a deep relationship with Jesus. She shares how counseling has helped her put words to her experiences, identify triggers, and process emotions in a healthy way. Karis encourages other siblings who feel guilt, anger, or frustration to remember they are not alone and that they can bring those feelings to Jesus for healing.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 18:15-20.Sermon Notes To seek peace when peace seems beyond reach, we need A humble spirit A tender heart A heavenly hopeSermon Questions In the story of Franz Jägerstätter, he stood resolved in his allegiance to Jesus despite compelling arguments from the state, the church, and even his family to simply “obey". How do we handle situations where the "wise" arguments of the world—or even fellow believers—counsel us away from pursuing Jesus's path of peace? The sermon links the humility of a little child to the work of peacemaking, describing a humble spirit as having "no face to save, no dignity to defend, no justice to mete out". Which of these three areas—saving face, defending your dignity, or wanting to hand out justice—is the hardest for you to lay down when a relationship is strained? We are reminded that "a hard heart wants payback," but "a tender heart wants its brother back". If you are currently experiencing an "impaired" or "broken" relationship with a fellow believer, what is one practical way you can keep your heart tender toward them rather than letting it harden? Jesus promises to be uniquely present—"in the midst of them"—when we put on a humble spirit and a tender heart to seek reconciliation. How does the "heavenly hope" of Jesus's direct, irresistible presence change how you view the high personal cost of pursuing peace?Resources Consulted Daniel Hallock, “Franz Jägerstätter, a Quiet Martyr,” The Plough (May 28, 2019) Gordon C.

What do video games and homebuilding have in common? More than you might think! Thomas Holt spent years creating visuals for major video games before turning his attention to residential construction. Today, he helps companies rethink the way they design, sell and build homes through artificial intelligence (AI). Holt, co-founder and vice president of visualization at Higharc, joined host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss spatial AI, the future of new home sales and why technology could dramatically speed up the way the industry brings new products to market. From Video Games to Real-World Construction Holt's background in video game development may seem like an unlikely path to homebuilding, but he sees an important distinction between the two. “In games, you're inventing a world, and the only rule is that it has to feel right,” Holt said. A house has a lot more rules. Every wall has a cost, windows have requirements and design decisions affect framing, permitting and construction. Ultimately, there's also a homebuyer counting on the finished product to work as intended. For Higharc, that means creating a digital model that accounts for more than what a home looks like. The platform connects information across the design, sales, estimating and construction processes. Ending the “Game of Telephone” One of the biggest challenges in residential construction is not necessarily creating information. It's keeping that information consistent as it moves through an organization. CAD drawings, for example, are essentially representations of a building. A line might indicate a wall, but the line itself doesn't represent what a wall is. That becomes an issue when the file moves from design to estimating, sales and construction. Each team may have to interpret the information and enter it into another system. Holt compared the process to a game of telephone. “Every one of those handoffs is a different chance for the versions to kind of drift,” he said. By the time those differences reach the field, they can show up as change orders, material overages, delays and other expensive mistakes. A shared digital model gives each department access to the same underlying information, reducing the need to translate it over and over again. Why Spatial AI Is Different From Generative AI Generative AI has become remarkably good at producing things that look and sound convincing. But convincing isn't necessarily the same as correct. An AI-generated floor plan might be perfectly useful as inspiration. It's a different story when someone needs to estimate materials or send the plan to a job site. Spatial AI is designed to understand the relationships between elements in a building. A wall isn't simply a line. It is a wall with characteristics and construction implications. The same applies to windows, kitchens, rooms and other components. That context allows the technology to produce information that can support the actual building process. A More Interactive Way to Shop for a New Home Consumers have become accustomed to customizing products online. They can build a car, change a pair of sneakers or configure a computer before making a purchase. A house is considerably more complicated. There can be an enormous number of possible combinations, and changing one element can affect several others. Historically, giving buyers that level of choice has required a lot of manual work behind the scenes. Higharc's web-based showroom is designed to make the experience more seamless. Buyers can explore 3D floor plans, change structural options and swap exterior collections while seeing those choices update on screen. The experience can also incorporate real manufacturer products and builder-controlled pricing. The bigger advantage is what happens behind the scenes. Because the experience is connected to the same underlying information used throughout the process, changes can stay aligned with what the company is actually selling and building. For buyers, that means more freedom to explore. For sales teams, it means less work trying to keep countless combinations straight. AI Could Give Homebuilding Teams More Time Holt doesn't see AI completely replacing most jobs. Instead, he expects it to change how people spend their time. “I think everybody's job in some way is going to improve,” Holt said. That could be particularly valuable in an industry that continues to face labor shortages. Rather than eliminating people, technology can help teams spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on work that requires experience and expertise. The same principle could extend to the job site. Holt expects technology to improve access to information, quality control, analytics and other tools that help tradespeople and field teams do their work more effectively. Higharc Expands Its Reach With $95 Million Funding Round Higharc recently raised $95 million in a Series C funding round led by Insight Partners. The investment will support two major priorities: accelerating the company's AI product development and expanding the platform beyond builders into the broader housing industry. For smaller companies, the appeal may be the ability to offer buyers sophisticated 3D sales and marketing experiences. Larger organizations can benefit from bringing more consistency to complex product lines, options and processes. The Future Could Be Faster Home Design Creating a new plan or adapting an existing one for a different community can take months. That makes experimentation expensive and can discourage companies from making frequent changes. Holt believes AI could dramatically shorten that process. “I think where AI will take us is to a point where plans can get generated and validated in hours instead of months,” he said. That would give companies more room to test ideas, adapt designs to individual markets and respond to what buyers actually want. In some ways, the future could mean products are tested and refined continuously rather than treated as finished once they reach the market.

https://gofund.me/9ee7bcb33Son of D.C.Voice of the BassCorcoran Holt—bassist, composer, arranger, and educator—is a son of Washington, D.C. who began playing djembe and West African percussion at the age of four with the Wose Dance Company under Baba Aidoo Holmes and Mahiri Fadjimba Keita. At ten, he took up the upright bass with the D.C. Youth Orchestra Program, discovering a family connection to the instrument through his great-grandfather, a bassist who reportedly gave lessons to a young John Coltrane. While studying classical bass at DCYOP, Holt attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts (1996–2000), working under Carolyn Kellock, Davey Yarborough, the late Keter Betts, and Steve Novasel, and soon began performing widely on the D.C. jazz scene.In this episode we discuss his 2026 sophomore album, Freedom of Art, a deeply personal and expansive statement that explores themes of lineage, fatherhood, identity, community, and spiritual growth. Featuring an all-star ensemble, the project blends original compositions with intimate interludes that incorporate the voices of family, mentors, and lived experience. The album has received critical acclaim, including a 4-star review in DownBeat, and continues to resonate with audiences for its honesty, depth, and musical integrity.https://corcoranholt.com

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with multi-instrumentalist and recording artist Erik Hall to talk about his evolving relationship with minimalist music. We begin with his large-ensemble interpretation of Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato, created in collaboration with Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion following a performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.Erik takes me inside the challenges of moving from a solitary, multitracked recording process to an ensemble filled with individual players, instincts, and senses of time. We talk about tempo, repetition, concentration, and how a piece changes when musicians must listen, respond, and move through it together.We also trace Erik's path from childhood classical piano lessons through jazz drumming, rock bands, touring, and record-making. That wide musical background eventually brought him back to the piano and to solo interpretations of works by Steve Reich, Simeon ten Holt, Glenn Branca, Charlemagne Palestine, and Laurie Spiegel. Along the way, Erik explains how microphone placement and instrumentation helped him build the sonic world of Music for 18 Musicians. He also reflects on the balance between honoring a score and giving himself enough freedom to discover something personal inside it.We close with Erik's return to original composition, the creative discipline of working every day, and the surprising power of writing music that can stand on its own in a single performance. We also talk about his recent time playing drums with Natalie Bergman—and why, behind the kit, feel matters far more than complexity.Key TakeawaysErik's large-ensemble version of Canto Ostinato grew from his 2023 solo recording and an invitation from Andrew Cyr of Metropolis Ensemble.The project began with a 52-musician performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden before being refined into a studio recording with Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion.Playing repetitive music with an ensemble requires a different kind of attention than building it alone through overdubs, especially when navigating cues, repeats, tempo, and transitions.Erik's background in classical piano, percussion, jazz drumming, guitar, touring, and studio recording all informs the way he approaches minimalist music.While recording Music for 18 Musicians, Erik used instrumentation and microphone placement to preserve the behavior of Steve Reich's arrangement while creating a distinct sonic identity.Years of working on Canto Ostinato have transformed Erik's piano playing and reconnected him with the patient, incremental process of learning music.Erik is now developing original material, including music conceived for solo piano or Fender Rhodes, while also working on a film score and considering future interpretive recordings.Music from the EpisodeMusic for 18 Musicians (Pulses) - Erik HallCanto Ostinato - Erik HallStrumming Music - Erik HallMusic for a Large Ensemble - Erik HallThe Temple of Venus - Erik HallAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, the people who make it, and the experiences that shape their creative lives.

In this week's episode, I speak with Dr. James Holt, Associate Professor of Religious Education at the University of Chester in England and author of On Holy Ground: Inter-faith Encounters and the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I wanted to chat with him about how Latter-day Saints can hold unapologetic convictions in the Restored Gospel while simultaneously recognizing and celebrating God's active hand in other world religions. Drawing on decades of classroom teaching, interfaith leadership, and scholarly research, Dr. Holt shares how genuine, respectful dialogue can transform our understanding of God's children without compromising our own faith.We explore the theological foundations of interfaith work, the beauty of "holy envy," and practical ways we can move past mere tolerance toward deep, loving, and Christlike relationships in our everyday communities.Some highlights from this episode include:God at Work Across Faiths: Dr. Holt examines the 1978 First Presidency statement regarding God's light in moral leaders and philosophers throughout history, unpacking why recognizing divine truth across all religions is essential to understanding the full depth of Christ's grace.Moving Beyond the "Fortress Church": Addressing Patrick Mason's concept of the fortress church, Dr. Holt explains why Latter-day Saints cannot fulfill the call to be the "salt of the earth" if they isolate themselves in cultural echo chambers rather than engaging meaningfully with their neighbors.The Power of "Holy Envy": Reflections on learning from other traditions, including the Sikh principle of seva (selfless service without expectation of reward), Pope Francis's inclusive ministry in Catholicism, and the transformative focus of Buddhist mindfulness in our daily discipleship.Engaging Without Contention: Practical advice on how to handle difficult or patronizing interfaith encounters by choosing understanding over "winning," avoiding defensive "Bible bashes," and adopting Martin Buber's "I-Thou" framework to view others as fellow children of God rather than objects or potential converts.Everyday Steps for Interfaith Connection: Simple, actionable ways to start building bridges this week—from offering a warm, supportive presence to neighbors of minority faiths to asking thoughtful questions about upcoming religious holidays and traditions.Books Referenced in This Episode:On Holy Ground: Inter-faith Encounters and the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ by James Holthttps://www.cedarfort.com/products/on-holy-groundUnderstanding Sikhism: A Guide for Teachers by James D.

Today, Joe opens with a gut-check on America's broken election system — starting with reports that Michigan Democrats are quietly restoring dead voters to the rolls after they'd already been removed. Joe breaks down viral posts calling the system "fraudulent" and in need of a total reset, then turns to Sheriff Dar Leaf's continuing investigation into Michigan's Secretary of State office, plus a fiery clip from Tina declaring flatly that the machines are cheating and ballots are being harvested. It's a segment built around one question: when the evidence keeps piling up and nobody in power will touch it, who's actually accountable to the American voter?Joe sits down with Brigadier General (Ret.) Blaine "Blaino" Holt — a decorated Air Force veteran, former second-highest-ranking U.S. military official at NATO, and current Newsmax contributor — for a wide-ranging conversation on what's really driving Trump's foreign policy and his war on the administrative state. Holt lays out whether there's a single coherent "Trump doctrine" tying together Venezuela, Iran, and Russia-Ukraine, what he thinks the real endgame in Iran looks like after his own "surrender terms" comments, and where the pressure campaign is most at risk of stalling. Then Joe presses him on his boldest claim yet — that "there's no way this regime gets to remain in place" — asking how you tell the difference between dismantling a politicized bureaucracy and simply replacing it with a new one.Joe calls out a Republican Party he says is too feckless to stop the "uniparty" from Washington to Sacramento, spotlighting California's newest taxpayer-funded proposal and a leaked tape of U.S. House candidate Jeremey Ross questioning whether America is even his homeland. And Joe looks into New York, where Mayor Mamdani's government-run grocery stores are set to undercut the very immigrant-owned bodegas whose tax dollars are funding them — a real-time case study, Joe argues, socialism will be eating the people it claims to help. It all adds up to the show's central theme: the system is stacked, and it's time for a reset.

Die Packungsrückseite prophezeit einen "Abstieg in den Wahnsinn", eine Erkundungstour durch die menschliche Psyche und eine dicke Portion "gnadenlosen Horror". In dieser Spielepackung verbirgt sich der Datenträger für ein wahrhaftig besonderes Spiel des Studios DreamForge Intertainment (ja, mit einem großen "I"). Sanitarium ist ein Rollenspiel, das uns zum Gefangenen einer bizarren Welt macht. Orientierungslos erwachen wir in einer "Nervenheilanstalt", aus der wir zu entkommen versuchen. Der Fluchtversuch führt uns durch albtraumhafte Level, über einen seltsamen Jahrmarkt und in ein Dorf, in dem ausschließlich makabere Kinder zu leben scheinen. Poah. Sanitarium hat trotz eines gewissen kommerziellen Erfolgs nie den Sprung ins kulturelle Gedächtnis der Spielewelt geschafft, gilt aber unter Genre-Kennern als Geheimtipp und Klassiker. Das genügt Dom Schott, um den Titel endlich einmal selbst nachzuholen, auf dass er während der Recherche zu einem ganz anderen Podcast zufällig stieß. Mit an seiner Seite für diese Nachholaktion: Horror-Auskennerin Sina, die schon häufiger mit Dom das Mikrofon gekreuzt hat - und zu den größten Sanitarium-Fans überhaupt zählt. Die Voraussetzungen sind also ideal für ein ganz besonderes Spiel. Das Vorgeplänkel, unser "Warm-Up" für den Titel, ist frei für alle interessierten HörerInnen verfügbar, die komplette Besprechung inklusive Spoilerteil ist exklusiv für alle Steady-Supporter.
- Brigadier General Blaine Holt guest hosts and frames Iran, global markets, election integrity, China and the food supply as connected fronts in a broader fight over national sovereignty. - Holt says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is tightening economic pressure on Iran, targeting countries and financial networks that continue helping Tehran while the U.S. avoids a large-scale ground war. - Markets come under the microscope as Holt warns about the Japan carry trade, private credit, AI data-center debt and financial leverage that he believes could trigger a major shakeout without another 2008-style bailout. - Election integrity takes center stage as Holt pushes voter ID and the SAVE Act while arguing that disputed election systems weaken public confidence in self-government. - Xi Jinping's planned Washington visit raises new questions about China's economic weakness and U.S. influence, while Holt closes by warning about foreign beef, food labeling and consolidation in America's meat supply.

After a five-year hiatus, Dan Go returns to break down a sustainable approach to fat loss for busy people who do not have hours to spend in the gym. He explains why identifying the main physiological or psychological bottleneck—such as late-night eating, stress, grazing, or weekend overeating—can matter more than simply handing someone a meal plan. The conversation covers calorie tracking for awareness, protein and fiber for satiety, meal timing, restaurant strategies, preserving muscle with low-volume strength training, FFMI as an alternative to BMI, and a balanced view of GLP-1 medications that considers both their benefits and trade-offs. Dan Go is a fitness coach and entrepreneur whose work focuses on helping busy professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs improve their body composition, health, and performance through sustainable nutrition, behavior change, and efficient training. His coaching approach emphasizes identifying the specific habits, beliefs, and environmental factors that make fat loss difficult, then building practical systems and guardrails that clients can maintain long term. Rather than relying on extreme diets or high-volume workouts, he focuses on awareness, consistency, adequate protein, structured eating, and time-efficient strength training to help clients lose fat while preserving muscle.

TABLE OF CONTENTS, THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-12-2026Michael Bernstam: Michael Bernstam discusses a critical shortage of refined products such as diesel and gasoline, noting that global supply has dropped by 8.3 million barrels per day. While crude oil is available, refining capacity in the US and Europe has declined for decades. Recent Ukrainian drone strikes have further crippled Russia's refining capabilities, forcing it to import fuel. These disruptions, along with Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, contribute to a daily deficit of 2 million barrels. Bernstam warns that consumers worldwide will face higher energy and food prices indefinitely as a result. (1)Michael Lucchese: Michael Lucchese explores the history and modern return of isolationism within American politics, particularly the Republican Party. He characterizes isolationism as a short-sighted avoidance of global affairs that often coincides with political extremism. Lucchese argues that the West is currently in a civilizational contest against an axis of revisionist powers including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. He critiques recent administrations for showing a lack of civilizational confidence, which he believes has encouraged adversaries to be more aggressive on the world stage. (2)Captain James Fanell: Captain James Fanell reports on China's escalating campaign to annex international waters east of Taiwan. For the first time, Chinese vessels are interrogating ships on the high seas, an outrageous violation of maritime norms. This aggression occurs as the US Navy is severely overstretched, with carrier deployments extending to nine months and the arsenal of democracy being depleted by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Fanell urges the US and partner navies to conduct joint maneuvers with Taiwan to counter Beijing's comprehensive national power strategy. (3)Mark Clifford: Mark Clifford discusses the ongoing detention of British citizen and entrepreneur Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. While China recently released a Protestant pastor, Xi Jinping reportedly remains determined that Lai, a fervent Catholic and advocate for Western values, will die in prison. Clifford suggests Xi's animosity is personal, rooted in a belief that the survival of the Communist Party is paramount and that any dissent is an existential threat. Despite the UK's new leadership focusing on domestic issues, Clifford hopes the government continues to pressure Beijing for the release of its citizen. (4)Charles Burton: Charles Burton provides insight into the annual Beidaihe retreat, where Chinese leaders meet secretly to decide the party's direction. This year's focus is on a failing domestic economy, including a collapsed housing market and crushing local government debt. Burton notes that Xi Jinping's limited international travel may indicate internal instability. Additionally, the discussion touches on escalating trade tensions between Canada and the US over potential tariffs and disagreements regarding the financing of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge. (5)Peter Huessy: Peter Huessy examines the fragile state of nuclear deterrence as Russia conducts drills for tactical nuclear weapons. He warns that the US is behind the eight ball regarding theater nuclear options, possessing only gravity bombs while Russia maintains thousands of short-range weapons. Huessy fears Putin may use these weapons for blackmail if he perceives a conventional loss in Ukraine. He advocates for the rapid modernization of the US nuclear triad, specifically calling for sea-launched cruise missiles to restore a credible deterrent against reckless adversaries. (6)Cliff May: Cliff May argues that Islamism is not being studied with the rigor that communism once received during the Cold War. He observes that many university Middle East studies departments, funded by foreign interests such as Qatar, have become Islamist adjacent. May highlights a recent Senate hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood where most senators failed to attend, fearing accusations of Islamophobia. This willful determination to ignore history allows the red-green alliance of far-left activists and Islamists to grow, posing a significant threat to democratic values. (7)Admiral Mark Montgomery: Admiral Mark Montgomery details the growing cyber and hybrid warfare cooperation within the axis of aggressors: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This cooperation often involves criminal actors sharing attack techniques and technology to target critical infrastructure. Montgomery warns of new generation warfare, including terrorist acts, jamming, and disinformation. He specifically points to China's Volt Typhoon program, which has installed malware in US rail, water, and energy systems. Montgomery urges an all-hands-on-deck approach to secure essential systems, as attribution for these ghost-like attacks remains difficult. (8)Simon Constable: Simon Constable reports on rising commodity prices, with Brent crude reaching $89 per barrel and European gas prices surging 18 percent. He discusses the recent change in UK government, where new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to focus almost exclusively on domestic issues. Constable also touches on the results of a longevity quiz, noting that average life expectancy in the US has reached 79 years. Finally, the conversation addresses unusual political rhetoric in Britain regarding the monarchy and the impact of extreme weather and wildfires across Europe. (9)Bob Zimmerman: Bob Zimmerman discusses the progress of commercial space ventures, highlighting Rocket Lab's new contract for its reusable Neutron rocket. He explains how companies such as SpaceX are developing recoverable capsules for in-space manufacturing, including pharmaceuticals. Zimmerman also notes a recent Chinese rocket failure, which was transparently reported only because of local live-streamers. Additionally, India is attempting to transfer control of its spaceports to the private sector to foster competition. Despite opposition from fake environmental activist groups, Zimmerman remains optimistic about the future of private-sector space exploration. (10)One correction applied: the raw had "Vault Typhoon" — the PRC infrastructure intrusion campaign is Volt Typhoon. Also still open from the prior batch: Hu Chunhua and Mohammad Reza Tavakoli.Across both batches, four threads run through nearly every segment.The axis as a working system, not a slogan. Chinese and Russian materiel moving to Iran (Holt), Iranian resupply of the Houthis (Fitton-Brown), Hezbollah's Syrian pipeline (Daoud), and Montgomery's cyber cooperation among all four — the same four capitals appear in Lucchese's civilizational contest and Montgomery's shared attack techniques. The story is no longer four separate adversaries but one logistics and learning network.Pauses as rearmament. Haqqani, Daoud, and Fitton-Brown independently report Iran boasting that ceasefires are for restocking. Sayeh supplies the domestic mirror: executions spike precisely when negotiations are underway. Ben-Ur gives the Gaza version — Hamas distributing rifles while the disarmament deal is being signed. The diplomatic interval is the adversary's production cycle.American absence, and who fills it. Haqqani's "helpless giant," Fitton-Brown's elephant in the room, Fanell's nine-month carrier deployments and depleted arsenal, Huessy's theater nuclear gap, Bernstam's lost refining capacity. Chang and Holt argue the reticence is a gambit; the guests closer to the ground read it as depletion. Haqqani's line is the sharpest: China wins by saying nothing.Xi's brittleness. Collier's $7.7 trillion in hidden bad loans, Burton's Beidaihe meeting on a collapsed housing market and local debt, Xi's shrinking travel schedule, Holt's factional rival. Clifford's Jimmy Lai segment is the same material in personal form — the vindictiveness of a leader who treats any dissent as existential. External aggression from Fanell sits directly on top of internal weakness from Collier and Burton, which is the more interesting juxtaposition than either alone.Two smaller pairings worth an hour break: Bernstam and Constable both on energy and food prices as the civilian bill for all of the above, and Araújo/Peña Esclusa's hemispheric shift as the one segment where the trend runs the other way — Petro out, De la Espriella in, Lula isolated.If you want a running order argument: Collier and Burton to establish the weakness, Fanell and Holt for the aggression it produces, then the Iran arc from Haqqani through Sayeh, with Bernstam and Constable as the price tag.
-Rob goes full medical-accountability mode over newly released Fauci communications concerning COVID vaccination during pregnancy, arguing that officials and media outlets fail to level with Americans about potential risks—and suggesting Pfizer sponsorships give television newsrooms a rather powerful case of selective curiosity. -Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt joins Rob and wastes approximately zero time easing into things. The Dangerous Intellectuals host discusses COVID-era accountability and his own experience seeking treatment before pivoting to his military wheelhouse: Trump, Iran, prospects for regime change, Venezuela and Cuba. Holt argues the U.S. shouldn't choose Iran's next leader and says Iranians themselves should determine who emerges from any revolution.

Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories Remi runs the finest — and only — delivery service in the village of Bramblewood. She has a leather satchel, a very organized notebook, and a perfect record. By late afternoon on a Thursday in October, she has one package left: a small brown parcel addressed to old Mrs. Thistle-Finch at the top of Wren Hill. The only problem is that somewhere between the post office and the bottom of the hill, the package has started making a sound. A faint, steady, impossible-to-explain ticking. A beaver named Mr. Holt has a theory. A crow named Vex has several, each more alarming than the last, and he follows Remi up the hill uninvited to share all of them. Nobody is right. When Mrs. Thistle-Finch finally opens the package in her warm stone cottage at the top of the hill, the ticking stops — and something much better takes its place. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes:Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax.Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep.A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.
General Blaine Holt analyzes reports of China supplying advanced shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong and Pakistan, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Holt explains that while these weapons threaten low-flying aircraft, the supply chain is vulnerable to intelligence interdiction. Holt observes that recent Iranian escalations in Iraq and the Gulf suggest a fragmented leadership in disarray rather than a cohesive strategy. The US and Saudi Arabiaare actively striking Iranian-backed militias. (13)1930 TOKYO
SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-29-26.1885 CHILE STEEL SIDED WARSHIPRebecca Grant and Gordon Chang report China is escalating provocations against the Philippines and Japan, including dangerous maneuvers near Second Thomas Shoal and firing missiles from submarines. Grant highlights the US Navy's preparedness to defend allies, noting a "red line" if Filipino sailors are killed. Despite China's permanent presence, the US maintains dominance through carrier strike groups and superior undersea warfare. The lack of operational officers on China's Central Military Commission suggests potential command risks. (1)Rick Fisher and Gordon Chang discuss reports that China is transferring hundreds of advanced QW-12 and FN-16 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong intermediaries. Fisher warns this poses a significant threat to US aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz. Chang advocates for reimposing sanctions on Hong Kong. The transfer, which China denies, represents a major escalation and highlights China's ongoing role in arming US adversaries like North Korea and Pakistan. (2)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang note Xi Jinping broke tradition by skipping the 50th anniversary of the devastating Tangshan earthquake, sending a surrogate instead. Burton suggests this absence may signal political instability or paranoia regarding his domestic standing. The earthquake historically symbolizes a loss of the "mandate of heaven." Furthermore, vacancies on the Central Military Commission and the mysterious death of former Premier Li Keqiangindicate profound internal disarray and a lack of clear succession. (3)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang discuss how trade tensions and rhetoric from the US have led to increased disdain among Canadians toward their neighbor. Burton discusses a poll showing Canadians view China more favorably than the US due to perceived economic threats from American tariffs. While the integrated North American market remains strong, Canadian provincial governments are reportedly restricting US alcohol sales. There are even suggestions that Canada should adopt "resistance" strategies similar to Ukraine. (4)Evan Ellis reports Keiko Fujimori has been inaugurated as Peru's president, appointing a respected center-right cabinet focused on fiscal discipline and US alignment. However, she faces challenges from endemic insecurity, corruption, and significant Chinese investment. Meanwhile, the influence of Cuba remains a concern across Latin America, with accusations of espionage and interference in democratic processes. Díaz-Canel's regime is under pressure from the Trump administration, potentially facing coercive negotiations or military action. (5)Evan Ellis previews Brazil's upcoming October election, which pits the leftist Lula da Silva against Flavio Bolsonaro, son of the former president. While Lula currently leads in polls, his Workers' Party background and ties to the São Paulo Forum raise concerns about radicalism and increased engagement with China. Ellis warns that a Lula victory could lead Brazil into a recession and a state-centric social policy, potentially settling political scores while lacking necessary financial resources. (6)Evan Ellis surveys shifting political landscapes: Javier Milei is rallying support for the Bolsonaros in Brazil, highlighting a new era of cross-border political interference. In Colombia, President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella is signaling a pro-US shift by cutting ties with Cuba and Nicaragua. Conversely, Venezuela remains in a "holding pattern" under Delcy Rodríguez. Despite reports of crumbling oil infrastructure, major investment is unlikely until a legitimate government is established to address the nation's $240 billion debt. (7)Evan Ellis notes President Claudia Sheinbaum has seen success in reducing homicides and cooperating on border security, but deep-seated corruption persists. The USMCA's future is uncertain, with the Trump administration using ongoing negotiations as leverage. Additionally, China is quietly expanding its presence in Mexico's telecom and automotive sectors. Sheinbaum must navigate a delicate balance: pursuing economic diversification and relationships with China without jeopardizing critical access to the US market. (8)Michael Bernstam reports Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have severely pinched Moscow's fuel production, forcing it to import refined products from India. Bernstam argues that the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have merged into a singular global energy crisis. With critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea threatened, a quarter of the world's oil supply is endangered. As governmental reserves dwindle, the US has become a primary exporter. (9)Michael Bernstam notes official statistics reveal the Russian economy has entered a state of stagnation, with GDP growth at a mere 0.2% for the first half of 2026. While weapons production remains high, the civilian economy—including agriculture and construction—is in recession. Bernstam notes that "perceived inflation" for Russian consumers is roughly 15%, significantly higher than official reports. Reckless interest rate cuts have further invited inflation, signaling a deepening commercial and fiscal crisis. (10)Sadanand Dhume observes that despite having a vast pool of engineers and data, India lags behind the US and China in developing frontier AI models. Dhume discusses the "winner-take-all" fear versus the belief that AI technology will eventually diffuse globally. While the Indian government is investing in semiconductors, many IT sector jobs in coding and back-office support are threatened by automation. The debate continues over whether India can successfully reap benefits without being a front-runner. (11)Sadanand Dhume examines India's "reservations" system, a rigid quota-based affirmative action program facing intense criticism for undermining university competitiveness. Originally intended to redress historical caste-based wrongs, quotas have expanded to cover roughly 60% of medical school seats. Dhume notes that while merit-based systems in Chinaprovide a brutal but efficient benchmark, Indian political parties fear touching the quota system would be "electoral suicide." This policy has entrenched caste identities. (12)General Blaine Holt analyzes reports of China supplying advanced shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong and Pakistan, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Holt explains that while these weapons threaten low-flying aircraft, the supply chain is vulnerable to intelligence interdiction. Holt observes that recent Iranian escalations in Iraq and the Gulf suggest a fragmented leadership in disarray rather than a cohesive strategy. The US and Saudi Arabiaare actively striking Iranian-backed militias. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports that following a narrow election victory, center-right businessman Abelardo de la Espriella faces fierce opposition from outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Petro, a former M19 terrorist, has refused to recognize the results, alleging fraud and foreign interference. De la Espriella plans to take a hard line against illegal armed groups like the ELN and FARC. To build support, he intends to hold his inauguration at a military garrison, signaling a commitment to restoring national security. (14)Bob Zimmerman reports SpaceX's 13th Starship Super Heavy launch was a major success, demonstrating the reliability of Raptor 3 engines and the thermal protection system. Zimmerman highlights the shift toward a "capitalism model," where private companies manage missions for NASA. Meanwhile, a schizophrenic GAO report on NASA's workforce reductions suggests that budget cuts have not significantly impacted major projects, despite agency officials' claims that funding decreases are "disastrous." (15)Bob Zimmerman notes the Deep Space Network facility in Spain narrowly avoided destruction by wildfires, highlighting the fragility of planetary communication nodes. Beyond Earth, astronomers have observed a precipitous drop in star formation within the Andromeda galaxy as it moves toward an eventual collision with the Milky Way. Additionally, NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan faces potential power shortages from its nuclear sources. Despite these risks, commercial space continues to expand into private stations. (16)Corrections applied: Rick Fisher (transcribed as "Fischer" in segment 2 — matching the spelling from your earlier batch), Delcy Rodríguez, Díaz-Canel, and São Paulo Forum with accents. Also standardized "man-pads" to MANPADS and hyphenated the QW-12/FN-16 designations. Stray double commas from the source cleaned throughout.5
