Drawing on her latest analysis, Mac Donald argues that homelessness is not simply an economic issue—but a policy choice fueled by ideology, weak enforcement, and government mismanagement. The two also dive into the role of sanctuary cities, illegal immigration, and the broader cultural shift away from law and order. Plus, they unpack: Why homelessness is surging in major cities The role of mental illness, addiction, and public policy How crime data is reported—and what it may be missing Whether political leadership is driving changes in crime trends Why voters continue to support policies that critics say worsen conditions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it really take to break the cycle of crime? In Part 2 of this conversation, Gary sits down with Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch, a man caught up in crime since he was a kid, who’d spent years dealing drugs, battling ice addiction, and surviving on the fringes of society, to uncover what finally turned his life around. Lincoln opens up about his first adult prison sentence, losing his mother while behind bars, and walking out of jail with nothing but a plastic bag and no support network. He shares how Rainbow Lodge, a post-release residential program in Sydney, gave him the soft landing he needed, and why without it, he's certain he'd have gone straight back into jail.

Anthony Santana survived fentanyl addiction, homelessness, drug dealing, and nearly 100 overdoses — but what he saw inside the rehab industry shocked him almost as much as the streets. In this episode of The Connect, Anthony exposes the dark world of rehab corruption, body brokering, and treatment centers allegedly profiting from fentanyl addicts through insurance payouts. He breaks down how addicts are recruited, paid, recycled through detox programs, and sometimes pushed back into relapse so the money keeps flowing. Anthony also opens up about selling fentanyl and Xanax in California, living homeless in Los Angeles, dealing drugs in MacArthur Park, surviving overdoses, and eventually finding real recovery after years of addiction. This is a raw look at the fentanyl crisis, the California rehab scam, and the hidden business behind addiction treatment. Go Support Anthony!

What happens when the system meant to protect a child chooses to punish them instead? Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch's earliest memory is watching his father being arrested. By five, his mother was in prison. By twelve, he was committing petty crime, living on the streets, and being abused by adults, yet the system kept sending him back to the danger it knew was there. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with Lincoln to trace the fault lines of a childhood shaped by neglect, abuse, and a justice system that criminalised a child who simply needed care. Lincoln's story challenges everything we think we know about youth crime. This episode contains references to child sex abuse and suicide.

What happens when childhood abuse, military service, addiction, homelessness, PTSD, and personal loss collide? In one of the most powerful conversations ever featured on The MisFitNation Show, U.S. Navy Veteran, author, speaker, and advocate Joe Potosi shares his deeply personal story of surviving unimaginable adversity and finding purpose on the other side. Growing up in an abusive household marked by neglect, fear, and emotional trauma, Joe spent much of his early life searching for an escape. That search led him into the United States Navy, where he found structure, brotherhood, and purpose—but the emotional wounds he carried from childhood didn't disappear. After military service, Joe found himself battling alcoholism, depression, anxiety, PTSD, financial collapse, homelessness, and the devastating consequences of unresolved trauma. He shares how addiction became a temporary escape from pain, why rock bottom became a turning point, and the life-changing ultimatum that forced him to confront his demons. Throughout this emotional and inspiring conversation, Joe discusses: • Growing up in an abusive and unstable home • Escaping through military service • Life aboard the USS Kitty Hawk • The loss of a fellow sailor and its impact on his mental health • PTSD, depression, and emotional trauma • Alcoholism and addiction recovery • Homelessness and starting over • The power of accountability and seeking help • Forgiveness, healing, and breaking generational cycles • Faith, redemption, and personal transformation • Writing his books "When the Dust Settled" and "Unshackled" • Why your condition does not have to be your conclusion Joe's story is not simply about survival. It's about rebuilding. It's about taking ownership of your future despite the pain of your past. It's about discovering that healing is possible, even when life feels broken beyond repair. For veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, individuals struggling with addiction, and anyone searching for hope in difficult seasons, this episode delivers practical wisdom, emotional honesty, and a powerful reminder that second chances are real. One of the most impactful messages from this conversation: "If you never heal from past trauma, you'll bleed on people who never cut you." Whether you're navigating PTSD, mental health challenges, recovery, grief, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, Joe's story offers inspiration, perspective, and hope.

Because no matter where you've been, your story is not over.

New figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that at least 346 third-level students in Ireland reported being homeless during the last academic year.  Student representatives say that number is likely just the “tip of the iceberg”, with many cases of hidden homelessness going unrecorded and several of the country's largest universities unable to provide data.    As Ireland's housing crisis continues to affect access to education, concerns are growing about students forced to couch-surf, sleep in cars, endure long commutes, or live in insecure accommodation while trying to complete their studies.   Alan Morrissey has been speaking about this with Molly Hickey, Vice President of Welfare and Equality at the Students Union at the University of Galway.

DJ Fat Tony has spent over four decades at the centre of British nightlife. He has DJed for Madonna, Prince and Elton John. He has played Glastonbury, Ibiza, and everywhere in between. He is one of the most recognisable figures in the global party scene. And for nearly three decades, he was also dying.By the time he reached his breaking point, he had almost no teeth left, weighed barely seven stone, and believed it was over. In 2007, he went into rehab. Today he is 19 years clean and sober. But this episode is not about that story. It is about what came after.Tony does not arrive with a polished redemption arc. He arrives with the version most people never tell — the rock bottom that happened six years into sobriety, when the substances were gone but the behaviour was not. Sex addiction. Drama. Ego. Homelessness again. The slow, humiliating realisation that getting clean is only the beginning.We go back to the beginning too. A Battersea council estate. A family soaked in addiction. A child who learned by age three that being ill got him attention, and built an entire survival strategy around chaos and crisis long before he ever touched a drink or a drug. Tony traces the through-line from that child to the man who, years into recovery, was still running the same patterns — performing in meetings, manipulating sponsors, using recovery itself as the newest addiction.What unfolds is a masterclass in the difference between sobriety and recovery. Tony breaks down powerlessness and what it actually means once you are no longer using it as an excuse. He talks about the 12 steps with the authority of someone who has both lived them and failed them. He is forensic about amends — why early apologies in recovery are almost always self-serving, why his own father told him to come back when he actually knew what he was apologising for, and why the only amends that count are the ones you live rather than speak.He also talks about sponsorship with a level of honesty that is rare. Picking sponsors to manipulate. Sponsoring people he was attracted to. The moment he finally got a sponsor who would not let him perform his way through the steps — and how that person changed everything.Tony's new book, Recover Me, is the book he had to write after his memoir I Don't Take Requests told the world a version of the story he had not yet been fully honest about. He talks about recording the audiobook and hearing himself read things he had previously suppressed. The shame versus embarrassment distinction that freed him. The moment he realised the more honest he became, the more free he felt.This conversation ends not in darkness but in something quieter and more powerful than just being drug free. Tony talks about the pinch-me moments that only become visible when chaos is no longer the baseline. From looking at his dog asleep in the morning to DJing to twenty thousand people and knowing the real success is simply waking up and being glad to be alive.Oliver is an ambassador for Alcohol Change UK, support here - https://tinyurl.com/5dt5773eSponsor -www.gavinsisters.co.ukpromo code SCHOOLOFROCKBOTTOM for 10% off!Support the pod https://www.paypal.me/olivermason1paypalTopics -0:00 Trailer & Intro4:10 A rock bottom moment7:00 Sex addiction8:30 Attention was my first drug!11:00 Addicted do drama?!13:30 Was Tony born an addict?16:50 Breaking the stigma20:30 Helping others23:45 Are war stories important?26:45 Is Tony powerless?32:30 Changing meetings34:15 Anonymous?!35:50 Recovery and self validation37:45 Shop around for recovery40:50 Tony gets really honest43:50 Guilt vs shame45:45 Making amends51:15 Sponsorship54:15 The 90/10 rule55:45 Pinch moments & recovery58:10 Turn anxiety into drive!Follow Tony Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dj_fattony_Tony's new book -https://geni.us/Recover_Me”Follow Oliverhttps://linktr.ee/olivermasonLinksYouTube - https://tinyurl.com/276aa99dApple - https://tinyurl.com/y3n2chk3

Unlike in cities, suburban unhoused tend to hide in forgotten spaces in the folds of modern architecture, between transportation infrastructure and housing developments, in the no-man's land between state and county administrations, between private and public property.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, grief, childhood trauma, and homelessness. Listener discretion is advised.What does it look like when a single act of kindness, a sandwich handed to a stranger outside Grand Central Station, becomes the seed of a national movement? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Karen Olson, founder of Family Promise, in her home in Springfield, New Jersey, to trace the remarkable arc of a life shaped by early loss, quiet resilience, and an unshakeable urge to help.Karen shares the story of losing her mother to suicide at age 12, a wound that redirected the course of her life toward service. She recounts how a chance encounter with a homeless woman named Millie awakened her to the invisible crisis of family homelessness; and how that awakening, through years of grassroots organizing, faith community partnership, and sheer instinct, grew into Family Promise: a national nonprofit with over 200 affiliates, one million volunteers mobilized, and nearly a million families served.She and Jennifer also talk about what happened after Karen's retirement - a cryotherapy accident in 2019 that left her with a spinal cord injury - and how she continues to paint, reflect, and live with the same purposeful spirit that built everything she created.

Jeff Bliss highlights the stark contrast between Seattle's controlled homelessness and the pervasive crisis in Los Angeles. The discussion transitions to California's jungle primary, where late-arriving ballots in the Los Angeles mayoral race show statistically improbable gains for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, fueling accusations of election irregularities.1865
