Podcasts about hostages

In 1976, more than 100 hostages were being held thousands of miles from Israel at Uganda's Entebbe Airport. Israeli planners faced extraordinary problems involving distance, intelligence, surprise, transportation and the possibility that the hostages could be killed before rescuers reached them. The resulting raid became one of history's most studied long-range hostage-rescue operations.

Two weeks after one phone call, four hostages walked free from Gaza...A Note from James:After the election, before Trump was sworn in for his second term, Biden's national security team needed to reach the president-elect about the hostages in Gaza.According to Bill O'Reilly, they couldn't get through.So who did they call?Bill O'Reilly.Bill says he set up the conversation, moderated it, and didn't offer a single opinion. About two weeks later, four hostages were released.That story is a good example of his new book, Confronting America: What Has to Change.Bill has spent more than 50 years around the people who make the news. Presidents. Political leaders. Media executives. Celebrities. He's interviewed five presidents. He's traveled around the world. And in this book, he names names. No anonymous sources.It's Trump. It's Mamdani. It's Soros. It's Paul McCartney. It's David Letterman.In 1996, Bill launched The O'Reilly Factor. It was an opinion show that openly said it was an opinion show, and it became one of the biggest programs in cable news.Now he runs his own media operations outside the traditional networks.Fair warning: I was more opinionated in this interview than I usually am.Bill has strong views on the media, Iran, New York City, the political parties, and where the country is headed. I pushed back in a few places, agreed with him in others, and the point is not that you have to agree with either of us.Listen and decide for yourself.At the end, I asked Bill about something he wrote in the book: his father's final words were about never reaching his potential.So I asked Bill whether he feels like he has reached his.I expected him to say he was still chasing it.He didn't.Episode Description:Bill O'Reilly joins James to talk about Confronting America: What Has to Change, a book built from decades of firsthand encounters with presidents, political figures, media executives, and major events.The conversation starts with O'Reilly's account of helping establish communication between the outgoing Biden national-security team and President-elect Trump during negotiations over hostages in Gaza. From there, James asks what being close to power has taught him—and how much of what happens behind the scenes ever reaches the public.They turn to the U.S.-Iran conflict, oil prices, the Strait of Hormuz, and the risks of making decisions when the consequences are difficult to predict. O'Reilly argues that the conflict became more complicated than initially expected, while James asks how media coverage shapes public perceptions of events like these.That leads to a larger debate over political media. O'Reilly distinguishes the openly opinionated format of The O'Reilly Factor from what he sees as increasing ideological alignment inside news organizations. James pushes on whether opinion-driven cable news helped create that environment in the first place.They also discuss the Trump administration's fight with CNN, MS NOW, and Politico over White House access. Despite his criticism of those outlets, O'Reilly says he would have handled the dispute differently: keep them in the room, but don't give them additional attention.The conversation then moves to New York City politics, affordability, inequality, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's agenda, municipal grocery stores, and the broader disagreement over how much government should intervene in markets. James is unusually explicit about his own views in this section, while O'Reilly explains how he sees the ideological divide reshaping both parties.Near the end, James asks what changed when O'Reilly left corporate television and began running his own media operations. O'Reilly says independence gives him something he values more than reach: control over what he says and how he says it.Finally, James asks about one of the most personal passages in the book. O'Reilly's father died believing he had not fully realized his potential. Does Bill still feel the same pressure?His answer is surprisingly settled. He wants to continue doing good work, but he no longer feels he has something left to prove.What You'll Learn:O'Reilly's account of helping connect the Biden and Trump teams during Gaza hostage negotiations.Why he views the U.S.-Iran conflict as a major political and strategic risk.How James and O'Reilly think media bias, opinion programming, and White House press access have changed political journalism.Why O'Reilly says The O'Reilly Factor was designed to present strong opinions alongside competing viewpoints.How affordability, inequality, municipal grocery stores, and government intervention shape their debate over New York City politics.Why O'Reilly believes technology and partisan media environments are changing how voters understand politics.What running his own media companies taught O'Reilly about editorial independence and control.How his father's final words shaped his thinking about ambition, achievement, and whether he has fulfilled his potential.Timestamped Chapters:[02:57] A Note from JamesJames introduces Confronting America, O'Reilly's career, the political tone of the conversation, and the question he asks Bill about fulfilling

From the Hostage Nation paper: " The first and most fundamental duty of a civilised state is the safety of its people. Not just safety from overseas adversaries, or crime in the street. Economic security. A bill you can pay without going overdrawn. A house you can afford before your children have children of their own. A job that lasts long enough to plan around. Britain guarantees none of these. Not for want of money, or land, or people who know how to build. Our nation has all of that. For forty years we have outsourced that security to the global marketplace. We locked ourselves in a room and posted the key to a trading desk in New York. British government policy subservient to global winds.  They call it living within our means. We call it Hostage Nation."This is the second part of our conversation with Jamie Driscoll, former Mayor of Newcastle city region, founder of Majority and now Green Council for his old Monument ward. He's also one of the authors of the Hostage Nation paper quoted above that lays out how we can shift our current economy from one that's in hock to the Vigilante Bond Markets  to one that supports people and planet. Jamie's website Majority Hostage Nation—About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'DREAMING YOUR DEATH AWAKE' which will run on Sunday 1st November 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT (NOTE THE TIME! - We'll be out of summertime then)  - details are here.

Every officer, supervisor and commander eventually faces the same challenge crisis negotiators train for every day: staying composed, building trust and making a good decision when the information is incomplete, emotions are high and someone is demanding an answer right now. The techniques hostage negotiators use on the worst calls of someone's life turn out to work just as well on patrol, in the squad room and in the chief's office. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Don Fieselman, a 25-plus-year law enforcement veteran and former leader and instructor with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department Crisis Negotiation Team, now a negotiation coach with the Black Swan Group. Fieselman explains how the same skills used to talk someone down from a barricaded standoff can defuse conflict between a sergeant and their officers, deliver bad news without losing trust, and get quiet team members to speak up before a problem becomes a crisis.

What are the actual, practical shifts in our political economy that we could do tomorrow, that would not require extra legislation and could transform our society?  This question applies to us all, wherever we are in the world and while there are many economists looking forward to an idealised system some way down the line, very few people - politicians or economists - are exploring what we could do now, today, within the guiderails of the existing system, with the politicians we have and the economy we have and the constraints of a world undergoing rapid geopolitical as well as geophysical change. Jamie Driscoll grew up in the north east of England, with a dad who drove a tank in the army and a mum who was a youth worker, trade unionist, and set up the first Women's Refuge from Domestic Violence in Middlesbrough. He left school at 16, and returned to education as a mature student, gaining a degree in Engineering at Northumbria University. He went on to run his own business as a software developer and then, when kids came along, and he was married to a GP, he  wound back his business and became the main carer for the children. He was 48 when he became a politician and he clearly brought the clear thought of an engineer, the empathy of a parent and the basic common sense of his upbringing to his various roles. He was elected Mayor of the Newcastle city region in May 2019, a position he served in until 2024, turning Newcastle into what the Guardian called “the capital of a new radical British politics”. In his five years in office he had to work around four different Prime Ministers, six different Chancellors, a global pandemic, Britain leaving the EU, energy price shocks, a cost of living crisis and the start of a ground war in Europe. He's one of a tiny handful of democratic socialists – as opposed to social democrats – who have experience running an arm of government in Britain.  He smashed his job creation target by over 300 percent; built affordable homes to high-eco standards; ran child poverty prevention programmes; delivered skills training to thousands of people to enable them to increase earnings. For every £1 I invested, his team returned over £3 to the Treasury in increased payroll taxes from job creation. He even had a successful venture capital programme that generated profits for the team to spend on other programmes, rather than them being funnelled off into tax havens by private investors. So, of course, in 2024, the Labour party changed its own internal rules to block him from standing in what was a new Mayoral area: he was too good, too effective - too socialist for them to let him continue when their entire reason for existence was to crush the left in the party. He ran as an independent in that election and came second after the official Labour candidate, polling the second highest independent vote in British political history, and built an organizational infrastructure that has become the progressive movement called Majority. In amongst all this, he is one of the sharpest, most deeply thoughtful people I've come across in electoral politics - easily up there with Mamdani, AOC and El-Sayed in the US. And he's here today because he's brought out a new paper - 'Hostage Nation' which does something quite remarkable: it takes the existing system in the UK and with only a few well-placed tweaks - almost all of which require no new legislation - it creates a new system that works for people and planet. I cannot emphasise too highly how innovative and necessary this is. It's the beginning step to a future that works for everyone - whoever you are, if you're listening to this in the UK, it would make your life measurably better within a year, significantly better in four years and utterly transformed in a decade.  If you're outside the UK, bringing the principles of this into your own nation would do the same. This is common sense politics - worked out in detail and I totally recommend that you read the website, sign up for more details and read as much of the paper as you can. Figure out what you can embrace and then tell people about it. This is how we make change.  Jamie and I were scheduled to have an hour's conversation. At the end of the first hour, it became obvious that there was at least another hour - actually, closer to two.  So we split the conversation: the episode is broadly about politics and how we might change it. The second focuses more deeply on the Hostage Nation paper.  So here we go  - please enjoy Jamie Driscoll of Majority, the Green Party and author of Hostage Nation.

On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. The retired Broward County Sheriff's Sergeant discusses fallen officers, high-stakes negotiations, his appearance on COPS, and the experiences behind his books. When the worst happens, someone has to respond and someone has to remain calm enough to handle the crisis. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Retired Broward County Sheriff's Sergeant Glenn Topping knows that responsibility well. During a decorated law enforcement career in South Florida, he confronted hostage situations, investigated the killing of one of the deputies he supervised, experienced the loss of other law enforcement officers, and appeared On The TV Show COPS. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Topping joins host John J. “Jay” Wiley for a Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to discuss the realities hidden behind the uniform. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio “When the worst happens, someone has to respond and handle it,” is the central truth behind Topping's story. His journey stretches from Queens, New York, to the United States Army and eventually to one of the largest public safety agencies in the nation. It is a story of service, violence, loss, resilience, and the loving family that helped give his life new meaning. On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. From Queens to the United States Army Glenn Topping grew up in Queens, New York, with his parents and two sisters. As a young boy, he had no way of knowing that his path would eventually lead him into military service, South Florida law enforcement, hostage negotiation, television, and writing. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. He began his career as a military police officer in the United States Army and became a veteran sergeant. After leaving the Army, he entered civilian law enforcement in South Florida and went on to become a decorated deputy sheriff sergeant with the Broward County Sheriff's Office. His progression from a young boy in Queens to a military police veteran and experienced sheriff's sergeant later became an important part of the story told in his autobiographical work. “A young boy's pursuit of a dream” became more than the theme of a book. It became a description of Topping's life. Serving With the Broward County Sheriff's Office The Broward County Sheriff's Office, commonly known as BSO, is one of the largest full-service public safety agencies in the United States. It employs more than 5,400 people, including nearly 3,400 sworn law enforcement officers, detention deputies, and fire rescue personnel. On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. For years, BSO was also recognized as one of the country's largest fully accredited sheriff's offices before losing that accreditation by unanimous vote in 2019. The size and scope of the agency reflect the community it serves. Broward County is part of the Miami metropolitan area and the South Florida region. With 1,944,375 residents recorded in the 2020 census, it is Florida's second-most populous county after Miami-Dade County and the 17th-most populous county in the United States. Policing such a large and diverse county brings officers and deputies into contact with nearly every kind of emergency. For Topping, some of those calls and investigations would remain with him for the rest of his life. Deputy, Police, Trooper Killed: The Cost Behind the Headlines The phrase Deputy, Police and Trooper Killed may appear as a headline, but for law enforcement families and agencies, it represents an intensely personal loss. Topping experienced that reality when he investigated the killing of one of the deputies under his supervision. He also confronted other line-of-duty deaths involving law enforcement officers throughout his career. Those cases were not merely files or statistics. The fallen officers were colleagues, friends, subordinates, and members of an extended law enforcement family. “Life-and-death situations changed his life forever,” Topping's story makes clear. The loss of family members, friends, colleagues, and coworkers, many to violence, left lasting scars that did not disappear when an investigation ended. In this Special Episode, he speaks about the difficult responsibility of investigating an officer's death while also processing the grief that comes with losing someone he knew and supervised. His account reveals a side of police work rarely seen by the public: officers may be expected to mourn, lead, investigate, and continue answering calls at the same time. On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Sheriff Negotiation: When Every Word Matters Topping also served as a hostage negotiator for the sheriff's office, an assignment in which patience and communication can mean the difference between life and death. A Sheriff's Hostage Negotiation is far more complicated than simply talking to a person in crisis. Negotiators must remain composed while communicating with people who may be armed, suicidal, emotionally unstable, or holding others against their will. At the same time, they must coordinate with tactical officers, commanders, emergency personnel, and other members of the response team. Every word matters. So do timing, tone, patience, and the ability to listen. The goal is often to slow a dangerous situation down, establish trust, gather information, and create an opportunity for a peaceful resolution. Yet negotiators must work with the knowledge that a sudden action or misunderstood phrase could change everything. Topping's experiences offer a rare look at the emotional control required to communicate during a crisis while lives hang in the balance. They also show why the work can remain with a negotiator long after the scene has been cleared. On The TV Show COPS: A View From Inside the Patrol Car Topping was also featured On The TV Show COPS, placing part of his law enforcement career before a national television audience. Produced by Langley Productions, COPS premiered on the Fox network on March 11, 1989. The American documentary television series is currently in its 38th season and has become known for following police officers and sheriff's deputies during patrols, calls for service, narcotics investigations, prostitution stings, and the execution of search and arrest warrants. Some episodes have also featured state and federal agencies. On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. The show's style traditionally uses no narration, scripted dialogue, incidental music, or added sound effects. Instead, viewers experience events through the officers' comments and the actions of the people they encounter, creating the program's familiar “fly on the wall” perspective. Most episodes contain three self-contained segments, often concluding with one or more arrests. But even an unscripted television program can show only part of what an officer experiences. Cameras may capture the call, pursuit, or arrest, but they cannot always reveal the years of training behind an officer's decisions or the emotional consequences that may follow. Topping's appearance on COPS gives him a distinctive perspective on the difference between watching law enforcement on television and living with the responsibility of the badge every day. Books Inspired by Violence, Loss, and Survival Beyond his military and law enforcement service, Glenn Topping is an accomplished author of several Books rooted in experiences that shaped his life. His most recent book, Look, a Quarter: A Young Boy's Pursuit of a Dream, chronicles his journey from childhood in Queens through military service and a decorated law enforcement career in South Florida. The book explores both the good and the bad: childhood dreams, professional success, life-and-death encounters, and the losses that permanently changed him. Topping writes about family members, friends, colleagues, and coworkers who died, many as a result of violence. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. Yet his story does not end in tragedy. It ultimately leads to the loving family he built and the purpose he found after years of confronting violence and death. His first novel, The Hurt, grew from another traumatic experience. It follows Topping's story surrounding the drive-by shooting death of a friend from a South Florida club where they worked during the early 1980s. On The TV Show COPS: Hostage Negotiator and Life Behind the Badge. Special Episode. The title captures the lasting damage caused by violent crime, not only to the person killed, but also to the friends, relatives, coworkers, and witnesses who must live with what happened. The Hurt is available online through Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Xlibris, Kindle, and Nook. A Special Episode About the Reality Behind the Badge This Special Episode is more than a conversation about a retired deputy or a famous television program. It is an examination of what police work can demand from the people who perform it. Glenn Topping's story moves from military police service to South Florida law enforcement, from Sheriff's Hostage Negotiation to the investigation of a subordinate deputy's death, and from appearing On The TV Show COPS to writing Books about violence, grief, hope, and survival. His experiences provide an unfiltered look at the responsibilities officers carry when the public calls for help and the memories they may continue carrying decades later.

This episode of the show is brought to you in part by Mars Men. You hit your 30s and 40s, and things start to feel different. Now that I'm in my 60s, I've really noticed the change. My energy drops faster. Recovery takes longer. Workouts don't have the same impact they once did. Most importantly, what worked for me in my 20s simply doesn't work anymore. So, I started looking for answers. Honestly, the testosterone-support space can be confusing, and much of it sounded sketchy. I don't want to become a professional bodybuilder. I just want to look and feel more like the old me. Thankfully, I found Mars Men, and I couldn't be more grateful. Mars Men is made in the USA, third-party tested, and formulated to support healthy testosterone levels, energy and stamina. It's now available at GNC stores nationwide.

If you're tired of being held hostage by the thoughts that hijack your day — "When can I eat next?" "When can I work this off?" "If I eat that, I'll look like her" — sis, this episode is about to become your secret weapon. Today I'm teaching you my signature Triple Threat tool: name it, tame it, frame it. Because here's the truth — you can't fight what you don't acknowledge, and you can't change what you don't challenge. When you ignore these thoughts, they get louder. This tool makes you the boss of your own mind. First, the truth about the thoughts Having an eating disorder thought pop up doesn't mean you're failing. These thoughts come from years of diet culture and conditioning — of course they show up. You're not your thoughts; you're the thinker of them, which means you get to choose which ones you believe. Just because you have a thought doesn't mean you have to believe it, and it definitely doesn't mean you have to act on it. The 3 steps 1. Name it. Get crystal clear on who's actually talking — your authentic voice, or your eating disorder voice? Give that voice a name (mine was Gina; clients use "Restriction Rachel," "Control Freak Carla," "Betty"). The moment you name it, you separate it from you. → "Oh, that's just Restriction Rachel trying to make me earn my food. That's not me." 2. Tame it. Claim your power back. You're not ignoring the thought or fighting it — you're refusing to let it drive. → "Thanks for sharing, Rachel, but I'm not taking orders from you today. You don't get to be the boss of me." 3. Frame it. Replace it with a new thought that's actually true and moves you toward recovery — not fake affirmations, real truth. → "My body needs consistent fuel throughout the day. This cookie is part of my recovery." It works on every kind of thought Food: "I need to work this off later." → Name it (Carla), tame it ("exercise isn't punishment for eating"), frame it ("I move because it feels good, not to earn or burn"). Body image: "I look disgusting today." → Name it (Betty), tame it ("your comments aren't welcome here"), frame it ("I don't have to love the mirror today, but I can honor myself anyway"). A few lines from the episode "You can't fight what you don't acknowledge, and you can't change what you don't challenge." "Just because you have the thought doesn't mean you have to believe it — or act on it." "You're not your thoughts. You're the thinker of your thoughts." "This tool doesn't change one thought. It changes your entire response pattern." "Your voice is actually stronger than that voice. It's just been jaded." Your work this week Decide your comebacks in advance. Write down the thoughts that show up most — waking up, at meals, in the mirror, getting dressed, around people. For each one, write your name it / tame it / frame it response. Practice them, memorize them, get ready — because the thought will come, and this is your spiral stopper. Ready to build your full toolkit? The Triple Threat is just the beginning. If you're tired of being held hostage by that voice and you want to master your whole mental game — at family dinners, in dressing rooms, during workouts, in social settings — I'd love to personally help you build an entire life toolkit of recovery skills.

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer just said the quiet part out loud. After six days and about 36 hours, the jury is still stuck — and Kevin Reddington says one juror “refuses to listen to the law.” The judge even framed it as one juror against the other 11. That is 11-1. Watch this first. Twice the panel told Judge William Sullivan they could not agree. He sent them back. He read the dynamite charge. Then the forewoman's note pointed to a holdout who would not follow the reasonable-doubt instruction. Reddington asked the judge to remove that juror. Sullivan said no — he would not “side with one juror or the 11.” He asked each of them if they could follow the law, defined reasonable doubt again, and sent them home for a seventh day. Pat also covered: Nancy Grace walks through the actual Clancy trial facts — not the spin Don Lemon tries to turn the Clancy case into a race story: “What if she were black?”  Labor Day gas just hit a record — AAA says $4.14 a gallon, the highest ever for this weekend HBO dropped a new "Harry Potter" trailer — and it actually looks good We're going to take Canada seriously — not because anyone has invasion plans Should a juror who will not follow the law stay on this panel? If this ends 11-1 and a mistrial, do you call that justice — or a stall?

A retired NYPD Detective, hostage negotiator, and intelligence specialist joins the show to break down his most intense cases from more than two decades in New York City.

In this episode, Jeff Woodke tells me what six and a half years as a hostage in the Malian desert stripped away. We talk about the day he was taken, the years of false promises that killed hope first, the months in a box, and the depression he couldn't outrun once he was the only one in the room. We talk about forgiving his captors daily in their own language, about praying until he couldn't, about losing his religion and finding his faith, and about why he says God got him through but people got him out. Love is the bedrock. Everything else burns.Jeff Woodke is a speaker, writer, poet, and hostage advocate. He and his family worked with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Niger, West Africa, for decades and served their community by digging wells, establishing primary schools, assisting with land regeneration and famine relief, and advocating for climate change adaptation. He won a Sasakawa Award in 2009 from the United Nations for disaster risk reduction work in Niger. In 2016, he was taken hostage by terrorists linked to al-Qaida and held for six and a half years in northern Mali. Released in 2023, he returned to his wife, children, and grandchildren in California with PTSD and stories that needed telling. His book debut, All the Way Home, is available nationwide this September.Jeff's Book:All the Way HomeJeff's Recommendation:The Crucifixion of the Warrior GodConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

What's it like to be taken hostage by the Iranian regime and imprisoned for months on end in Evin, Tehran's most notorious prison, amid an unprecedented war with the US and Israel?On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks to Joe Bennett, son of Lindsay Foreman, who has been detained since January 2025 with her husband Craig Foreman while on a round-the-world motorcycle tour. The British couple were this year sentenced to 10 years in prison over charges of espionage, which they deny and the British government has called “appalling” and “unjustifiable”.Bennett discusses the harrowing conditions faced by his mum and their gruelling hunger strike protest. He shares the “chilling” moment he was on the phone with Lindsay while Israel conducted air strikes on Evin prison, saying he had “never heard screams like it”. He also blames the UK for not doing more to support his mother and other British hostages before her such as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori. Plus: Iran has launched a further wave of strikes on US bases in Kuwait and the UAE, and Donald Trump has suggested the Strait of Hormuz should be renamed the 'Trump Strait'.Highlights'My mum was in Evin prison when Israel bombed it'Joe Bennett on his mother Lindsay Foreman's experience being held hostage by IranCONTRIBUTORS:Roland Oliphant, co-host and chief foreign affairs analyst @RolandOliphantJoe Bennett, son of Iran detainee Lindsay Foreman WATCH US ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVAif-vifC6F2aoPB8GIw6dkCONTENT REFERENCED:Joe Bennett: Starmer is allowing my mother to languish in Iranian jailhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/02/starmer-allowing-my-mother-to-languish-in-iranian-jail/In Iran's most notorious prison, I survived the very worst of human naturehttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/08/mahvash-sabet-open-wide-the-doors/Winner Best News and Analysis Podcast - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026Nominated Podcast of the Year - Society of Editors News Podcasts Awards 2026Nominated Best News, Politics and Current Affairs - British Podcast Awards 2026The Telegraph, Winner Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026 - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026Audio Producer: Peter Shevlin Video Producer: Max BowerResearcher and Social Producer: Anna HindmarshStudio Operator: Andy WatsonExecutive Producer: Venetia Rainey ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Today on The Gist, guest host Charlie introduces two conversations centered on hostage recovery and wrongful detention abroad. First, Mike Pesca speaks with Diane Foley, founder of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, who reflects on her son's murder by ISIS in 2014, the institutional failures that left American families without diplomatic support, and the urgent need to overhaul outdated US hostage policies as state-sponsored wrongful detentions rise. Then, Mike is joined by Princeton PhD researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov to discuss her harrowing ordeal surviving over 900 days of captivity and torture by the Iranian-backed militia Kata'ib Hezbollah in Iraq, detailing how she used fictitious confessions to protect innocent locals, the psychological endurance that kept her alive, and the diplomatic efforts that ultimately secured her freedom.

What is MrBeast Burger? Well, it's the burger chain started by the most popular YouTuber on the planet. But, actually, is it? Or was it started by a shadowy restaurant organization run by the same guy who owns Bucca De Beppo, who secretly operated it for MrBeast behind the scenes, and then when he wanted to shut the whole thing down because the food was really bad, this shadowy organization basically took ownership of his name and likeness and is still holding it hostage to this day?--BACK OUR PATREON!https://bit.ly/deepcutspatreon--CHECK OUT OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://bit.ly/mysterytreehouse--Join our Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Blondie got their start as part of New York’s fertile punk scene in the late ‘70s, a time of great musical innovation. Also a time of great fear. Violent crime had the five boroughs in a stranglehold. Muggers, rapists, thieves, criminal deviants of all stripes ran wild in the streets. Or so they said. True New Yorkers like Blondie were tough, jaded, immune to the fears foisted upon tourists. Blondie’s Debbie Harry, in particular, was not a victim and not a mark. But she nearly became a victim to a soon-to-be infamous serial killer when she accepted a ride from a stranger. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including depictions of sexual assault. This episode was originally published on November 21, 2023.
