From the People's March in Washington, D.C. protesting the current administration's policies, to scientists rallying against budget cuts to research programs, to the nationwide No Kings Marches, the nation's streets have become platforms for civic expression. Amid this backdrop, award-winning writer, legal scholar, and civil rights advocate Gloria J. Browne-Marshall presents A Protest History of the United States, covering more than four centuries of American dissent and weaving together legal analysis, historical documentation, personal memoir, and interviews with those who have taken a stand.

He's a hero. He's an outlaw. And it turns out he's also Christmastime favourite. Given his many incarnations, from a foxy cartoon heartthrob, to the gruff and grizzled Hugh Jackman that previewed this week, it's hard not to fall in love with some version or other of Robin Hood. And as we'll find out in this episode, even jolly old Saint Nick just happens to be a fan. This week, Danièle speaks with Alexander L. Kaufman about how Robin Hood's legend evolved over time, his transformation into a pantomime favourite, and that time Robin robbed Santa Claus himself.Support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists
In this week's new commentary, we wonder how major league strikeout leader James Wood can reduce his strikeouts by 600 percent in 2026. Then we return to early 2008 for a look at some deleterious, franchise-damaging or -destroying decisions, including a regrettable early mistake in free agency and Connie Mack's decision to run his team like it was the 1910s even though almost 40 years had passed. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?
25 years ago this month, the Coen brothers' Americana Odyssey "O Brother, Where Art Thou" was released in theaters. While the movie saw a paucity of award recognition, its soundtrack managed to land a Grammy for Album of the Year, giving rise to a major revival of American roots and bluegrass music in the mainstream. Music writer Allison Hussey discusses the soundtrack and its legacy as part of our Silver Liner Notes series, and listeners share their feelings about the film, and the soundtrack.
Though it had a relatively quiet 1955 release, the klezmer album Tanz!, from Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers, is now considered a landmark of the genre. On the new album, Michael Winograd Plays Tanz! Live In New York City, Michael Winograd celebrates its legacy. He and his band will perform a few pieces live and talk about the album's influence on him, and preview a show Thursday evening at the Center for New Jewish Culture.

As the December 19th DOJ deadline approaches, expectations for a meaningful Epstein file release remain predictably low. History suggests this will be less a moment of transparency and more a carefully managed pressure-release, offering recycled information already known while withholding anything truly damaging to the government or to Donald Trump. If there had been genuine intent to disclose the full truth, it would not have required months of procedural theater and resistance. Instead, the long delay itself signals reluctance, not resolve. A DOJ overseen by figures who have actively fought disclosure is unlikely to suddenly reverse course out of goodwill. Skepticism here is not cynicism for its own sake, but a rational response to an institution that has consistently prioritized self-protection over accountability.What should be expected is a document dump heavy on redactions, light on substance, and carefully curated to avoid embarrassment or legal exposure. FBI 302s, internal emails, candid assessments, and anything implicating systemic failures or political sensitivity are almost certainly off the table. Names may appear without context, timelines without consequence, and pages without meaningful content. If this release is perceived as insulting or deliberately hollow, it risks igniting a backlash that narratives and media spin may not contain. The real story may not be what is released, but what is conspicuously absent—and the justifications used to keep it that way. Epstein disclosures have only ever advanced under pressure, not voluntary transparency, and this release is unlikely to change that fundamental reality.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
They say necessity is the mother of invention, but I'm not convinced. Throughout this series on inventions, I noticed that almost all of the inventions I covered clustered in the second half of the 19th century, in a time period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. This episode is a retrospective on some of the factors that made that time period see the invention of more society-changing inventions than any other.

#856 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/856 Presented By: FishHound Expeditions, Togiak River Lodge, Pescador on the Fly Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Steve Woit has spent years hunting down the stories behind fly-fishing's most influential figures — including Mary Orvis Marbury, whose Victorian-era writing documented flies and tiers before the modern industry existed. In this episode, Steve walks us through the research discipline behind Fly Fishing Treasures, his deep dive into letters, catalogs, photographs, and tackle provenance that reveal how anglers built a culture long before we arrived. This conversation isn't about nostalgia — it's about protecting memory. Steve shows how writing, archiving, and conservation fundraising through donated tackle help safeguard fisheries and preserve the names and innovations that shaped our sport. #856 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/856

[00:30] He Was Right (55 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong was right about Germany. History and prophecy prove that a remilitarized Germany preparing for war poses an extreme threat to the world. Though the media is finally reporting Germany's race to rearm, no one seems concerned. Even Israel is supporting the supposedly pacifist nation's campaign for rearmament, while Holocaust history is somehow drawing Israel closer to its recent enemy.
Since Paladins were announced as the next class to join the roster in Diablo 4 in its next expansion Lord of Hatred -- and already playable with preorder -- Matt and Joe sat down this week to chat about both, but mostly Paladins and their history within the franchise. First, they dive into the place of Paladins within the franchise as contrasted by other classes. Blizzard seems to be cribbing heavily from Diablo 2, with almost all the classes from that game now available in D4. They touch on Paladins from D2, their famous fall, and how that led to the Crusaders from Diablo 3.The story we see in the cinematic also has our Paladin facing off against Mephisto while he inhabits Akarat's body, which he possessed at the end of the previous expansion, Vessel of Hatred. Akarat being one of the founders of the faith the Paladin belongs to, this is a deeply interesting contrast -- as well as a personal religious crisis in the making.

The Palestinian village of Sebastia, a living place where history, memory, and daily life are deeply intertwined. In this episode of This is Palestine, Diana Buttu speaks with Zaid Azhari, a cultural heritage researcher from Sebastia and a member of the Save Sebastia campaign, about Israel's plans to seize large parts of the town's archaeological heart under the pretext of “heritage development.” Zaid explains how archaeology is being used to deprive Palestinians of their land, livelihoods, and identity, and why protecting Sebastia means protecting a living community, not just ancient ruins.

Episode Summary Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Alexander Villahermosa, a neurosurgery resident at UT Health San Antonio and former 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Motivated by the events of 9/11, he enlisted with an 18 X-ray contract, embarking on a remarkable journey that took him from the battlefield to the operating room. Dr. Villahermosa shares stories from his deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other austere environments, highlighting how mentorship from military physicians in Balad inspired him to pursue a medical degree. Dr. Villahermosa provides a candid look at the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), detailing his experience as part of its second class. He discusses the academic challenges of transitioning from an operational tempo to learning calculus and hard sciences, and how the program's cohort-based support system prepares active-duty soldiers for the rigors of medical school at the Uniformed Services University. The discussion moves to the intense reality of surgical residency, where days often start at 4:00 AM and involve complex perioperative care. Dr. Villahermosa highlights the unique perspective military training brings to civilian medicine, specifically the ability to operate without advanced navigation technology—a skill emphasized by military mentors who understand downrange limitations. He also shares insights on "expectation management" regarding physical fitness while maintaining a grueling training schedule. Finally, Dr. Villahermosa reflects on leadership lessons learned while rising from the rank of Master Sergeant to Captain, emphasizing that mentorship and staying humble are keys to success. He concludes with a crucial medical takeaway for combat medics: the best brain care starts with the basics of airway, respiration, and circulation as outlined in TCCC guidelines. Chapters (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic Dr. Villahermosa describes enlisting after 9/11 with the initial intent of joining the infantry, only to switch to an 18X contract to avoid a long wait for basic training. He recounts his deployments to Iraq and how mentorship from a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist in Balad first sparked his interest in becoming a physician. (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 This section covers the process of completing undergraduate prerequisites through the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), including the challenges of mastering mathematics and hard sciences. Dr. Villahermosa explains how the program's cohort system and partnership with the Uniformed Services University provided the structure and support necessary for success. (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality Initially uninterested in surgery, Dr. Villahermosa describes falling in love with the specialty during a third-year clerkship after being fascinated by spine and trauma cases. He details the daily grind of residency, which involves early mornings, long hours, and the need to seize small windows of time for physical fitness and self-care. (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training The discussion focuses on the specific mindset instilled by military neurosurgeons, such as the ability to perform spine surgery using anatomic landmarks rather than relying solely on advanced navigation systems. This training ensures readiness for deployed environments where high-tech equipment may not be available or functional. (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care Dr. Villahermosa reflects on the importance of humility and teamwork, noting that, regardless of rank or experience, there is always something to learn from others. He concludes by emphasizing that the best initial care for traumatic brain injury is adherence to TCCC protocols, specifically preventing hypotension and hypoxia. Take Home Messages The Power of Mentorship: Career paths are often significantly altered by leaders who take the time to invest in their subordinates and encourage them to pursue higher goals. Dr. Villahermosa's journey to medical school began specifically because a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist took him under their wing during a combat deployment. Leaders should actively identify and encourage potential in those they lead, as this support can fundamentally change the trajectory of a service member's life. Back to Basics for Brain Injury: The most effective initial treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) lies in the fundamental principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Preventing secondary brain injury caused by hypotension and hypoxia is critical, meaning that controlling hemorrhage and managing the airway are the best ways to protect the brain in the pre-hospital setting. Providers should trust these protocols rather than feeling helpless without advanced neurosurgical capabilities, as stabilizing the patient's physiology is the first step in saving the brain. Operating in Austere Environments: While modern civilian neurosurgery often relies on advanced navigation technology and robotics, military surgeons must maintain the skill to operate using anatomic landmarks. Dr. Villahermosa highlights that downrange environments may lack functional high-tech equipment, making it essential to master manual techniques for spine and brain procedures. This training approach ensures that military surgeons remain adaptable and can deliver life-saving care regardless of the resources available in the field. Resilience Through Expectation Management: Surviving a demanding residency program or rigorous military training requires adjusting one's expectations regarding fitness and rest. Rather than waiting for large blocks of free time that may never come, trainees must learn to seize small, available moments for self-care, whether that is a short fifteen-minute run or catching up on sleep. Taking advantage of these brief breaks when they present themselves is crucial for maintaining long-term physical and mental performance when the schedule is unpredictable. Humility and Teamwork in Leadership: Success in high-stakes environments like the military and medicine demands humility and the recognition that no single person knows everything. Dr. Villahermosa emphasizes that rank and experience do not preclude the need to learn from others, including the newest members of the team who may bring fresh perspectives. Acknowledging one's role within the larger mission fosters a collaborative environment that improves patient outcomes and ensures the job gets done effectively.

Back to Marrou, Part II Chapter X! This time it's all about rhetoric (we'll resist the temptation to go on and on). H. I. drops the bomb (boutade!) that in antiquity, rhetoric was the Queen of the Sciences, and Isocrates was a much more influential figure in terms of school training and life skills than Plato ever dared deam. Along the way, the guys break down the tension and attraction between rote preparation and improvisational skills, necessary hand gestures, and the pop phenomenon of funerary orations.

Welcome, my dark souls! In this haunting chapter of Unholy December, we uncover the chilling possession outbreaks that swept through convents in France, Spain, and Italy during the 17th century. From violent public exorcisms to quiet nocturnal terrors, these cases reveal how fear, faith, and control shaped the lives of cloistered women across Europe. Drawing from diaries, trial records, and centuries of historical analysis, this episode exposes the obscure boundary between mysticism, trauma, and the supernatural. A deep, unsettling journey into the archives where some of history's darkest whispers have been waiting. *Listener Discretion is Advised*****************Sources & References:Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudun (1952).Michel de Certeau, The Possession at Loudun (1970).Nancy Caciola, Discerning Spirits: Divine and Demonic Possession in the Middle Ages (2003).Edward Peters, The Magician, the Witch, and the Law (1978).John D.

As the December 19th DOJ deadline approaches, expectations for a meaningful Epstein file release remain predictably low. History suggests this will be less a moment of transparency and more a carefully managed pressure-release, offering recycled information already known while withholding anything truly damaging to the government or to Donald Trump. If there had been genuine intent to disclose the full truth, it would not have required months of procedural theater and resistance. Instead, the long delay itself signals reluctance, not resolve. A DOJ overseen by figures who have actively fought disclosure is unlikely to suddenly reverse course out of goodwill. Skepticism here is not cynicism for its own sake, but a rational response to an institution that has consistently prioritized self-protection over accountability.What should be expected is a document dump heavy on redactions, light on substance, and carefully curated to avoid embarrassment or legal exposure. FBI 302s, internal emails, candid assessments, and anything implicating systemic failures or political sensitivity are almost certainly off the table. Names may appear without context, timelines without consequence, and pages without meaningful content. If this release is perceived as insulting or deliberately hollow, it risks igniting a backlash that narratives and media spin may not contain. The real story may not be what is released, but what is conspicuously absent—and the justifications used to keep it that way. Epstein disclosures have only ever advanced under pressure, not voluntary transparency, and this release is unlikely to change that fundamental reality.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Focusing on the most salacious elements of the Epstein scandal—photos, social associations, provocative rumors, and unverifiable claims—ultimately obscures the most consequential aspects of the case. While those details draw attention, they are often difficult to substantiate and easy for powerful figures to dismiss as tabloid sensationalism or partisan hysteria. This dynamic allows individuals like Donald Trump to deflect scrutiny by arguing that critics are obsessed with gossip rather than facts. When the public debate centers on what cannot be conclusively proven, it weakens legitimate inquiries and shifts attention away from demonstrable conduct such as institutional obstruction, delayed disclosures, and efforts to limit transparency. In effect, sensationalism becomes a shield rather than a weapon, blurring the line between serious investigation and speculative outrage.More importantly, an overemphasis on salacious claims gives cover to those seeking to bury the scandal altogether. By encouraging critics to overreach, it allows defenders to collapse the entire Epstein issue into a debate about conspiracy theories rather than accountability. The most critical elements of the scandal—the use of power to suppress records, resist subpoenas, control narratives, and prevent full public disclosure—are procedural and often unglamorous, but they are also provable. History shows that major reckonings rarely begin with the most shocking allegations; they begin with exposing cover-ups, paper trails, and institutional misconduct. When attention is redirected away from obstruction and toward spectacle, it delays accountability and helps ensure that Epstein's network remains protected long after the crimes themselves are no longer in dispute.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
