Your Labubu Isn't Real?! Holiday Scandals, Shutdowns & Gacy Shocks | Karel Cast 25-135 The holidays are coming fast — lights, music, chaos… and scams.

The AWS Meltdown: $50 Billion Lost and Nobody's Talking About It | Karel Cast 25-134 When Amazon Web Services (AWS) went down, the internet itself nearly broke — apps crashed, transactions froze, and the global economy took a $50 BILLION hit in just hours. But the real story isn't just about one outage… it's about how dangerously dependent we've become on a single company's servers. Karel breaks down the truth behind the AWS crash, why it's scarier than you think, and what it says about the fragile state of our tech-driven world. Also on today's show:

Trump Dumps on “No Kings” — And America Deserves Better | Karel Cast 25-133 Record-breaking No Kings rallies erupted across the country this weekend — but how did President Trump respond? With an AI video of himself as a king, literally dropping crap on peaceful protestors from Mar-a-Lago. While millions marched for democracy, Speaker Mike Johnson called those Americans “people who hate America.” So the question becomes: if Congress won't act, how do we remove leaders who openly mock our Constitution? Karel takes apart the absurdity, the rage, and the dark comedy of it all — from Trump's “royal” delusions to the global headlines that make you question our collective sanity. Also — wild stories you won't believe:

“Tarik Shah: Don't Play Like Them” is a documentary film about locally-based jazz musician Tarik Shah who was incarcerated for almost 15 years on terrorist accusations. The director of this film, Barry Rubinow, will be at The Sanctuary for Independent Media on Friday October 24 to present this documentary film and to give a Be The Media! workshop about Everybody Has a Story to Tell. The film screening and panel discussion is a collaboration between the Sanctuary and Coalition for Civil Freedoms.

No Kings: Record Turnout — But Will It Matter? | Karel Cast 25-132 Thousands are hitting the streets again for the second “No Kings” Rally, and this time, the turnout could break records — over 2,500 events across America. But here's the real question: will it actually change anything? Karel dives into the heart of the movement — the hope, the energy, and the hard truth about what can and can't be done to stop authoritarian overreach. As Trump flexes more power and the U.S. military obeys increasingly questionable orders, it's time to ask: Where is the line — and who's brave enough to draw it? Plus: A deep look at America's growing global tension, including dangerous operations in Venezuelan waters, and what it means for democracy here at home. And before the weekend hits — a lighter side: what's new in entertainment and pop culture.

In place of our regular Hudson Mohawk Magazine programing, today we share this episode of The Aunties Dandelion podcast called “Nikaronhya'a Dawn Martin (Kanyen'kehà:ka) Miss Six Nations, Teacher, Two-Spirit Advocate, Farmer” by The Aunties Dandelion.” The interviewer is Kahstoserakwathe Paulette Moore who presented on “Indigenous Lens on Media Making” at The Sanctuary for Independent Media on 10/03/2023. Show notes from The Aunties Dandelion: Wa'tkwanonhweráton Sewakwékon. On this edition of The Aunties Dandelion we visit with Emergent Auntie Nikaronhyá'a Dawn Martin who is Kanyen'kehà:ka (or Mohawk) from Six Nations of the Grand River Rotinonhsón:ni Territory and who recently won the title of Miss Six Nations. Nikaronhyá'a is a two-spirit culture and language carrier, a teacher, and a farmer who honors the foundation of the feminine. NIKARONHYA'A: The way I translate it is… that's my power… that is my power. My mother is my power, my mother is my strength – that is where I get – all the will to live comes from her and that could be Mother Earth or my birth mother, right? AUNTIE: During our visit we discuss Nikaronhya'a's relationship with the beauty and trauma of her community and family and how the power of our Mohawk language – through her father's influence – has become her support and guide. NIKARONHYA'A: He said it's about the voices of your ancestors. It's not even about a word. And that's what he would talk about is vibration and energy. That that word don't live on the paper. That word don't live in the text book. That word only lives with us in our being and our energy and our voice and our breath to make it come into existence. AUNTIE: We are Yethi Nihsténha ne Tekaronyakánere – the Aunties Dandelion. We're a media collective focused on revitalizing our communities through stories of land, language, and relationships. We are thrilled today to say “nyá:wen” which means “thank you” in Mohawk to the our friends at the Indigenous Screen Office of Canada onkak teyonhkiwihstekénha who are funding our podcast for the coming year. So make some tea, get comfortable and take some time to… listen to your Aunties.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Weiss's probably underrated advantage, and the thing that really got her to where she is now, is that her callow reactionary prejudices and politics largely overlap with those of the people who really call the shots in the purportedly liberal news business, but those attitudinal advantages are offset by the fact that she also shares their weird insularity toward the world and the people who work for them, but without any meaningful professional or executive experience to offset it.

America Isn't the Country You Think It Is | Karel Cast 25-121 America loves to call itself the “greatest country in the world”—but the numbers tell a different story. Over 350 mass shootings this year, a wannabe tyrant in the Oval Office, and a Supreme Court that props up a far-right agenda. 70% of our infrastructure is outdated, we lack public transportation, and universal health care is still a dream—while we remain #1 for medical bankruptcies. The reality? 80% of Americans don't have enough to retire. Care homes are broken, healthcare for aging is inadequate, and hatred—racism, homophobia, transphobia—runs rampant. Add to that endless wars and drug epidemics, and the myth of “American greatness” crumbles. So here's the question: are we ignoring reality because the truth is too painful to face?

America Isn't Ready for 124 Million Seniors | Karel Cast 25-120 Over 37% of Americans are now over 50—that's 124 million people—and the cracks in our system are showing. Social Security is running dry, affordable home health care barely exists for the middle class, and state-sponsored elder care is almost nonexistent. Meanwhile, medicine is lagging behind in treating the illnesses most affecting older Americans. The truth is clear: America is not ready for the greying of its population, and the consequences are already unfolding. Plus, Trump falsely blames California Governor Gavin Newsom for an ICE shooting. Why does MAGA never take responsibility for its own dangerous rhetoric and actions?

Flashy the political analyst storms back into the booth, breaking down the UN's staged theater, the shocking Kirk shooting, and the weaponization of narratives vs raw truth.

Trending in Ed is back for its 10th season! Mike Palmer is kicking things off by reflecting on the past nine seasons and sharing what's in store for the Fall. We're excited to announce that the podcast will be offering dedicated feeds for listeners who want to go deep on specific topics like AI, K-12, higher education / the future of work, and author interviews about books. In this kickoff episode, Mike shares his eight trends for Fall 2025: Independent Media & Free Speech: Highlighting the importance of independent media and calling out the "chilling effects" on free speech in mainstream and broadcast media. Discernment: The ability to find "the signal in the noise" and filter out misinformation in a world of information overload. AI Dexterity: A focus on what people can do with AI rather than what AI can do for them, a phrase coined by Mike Yates. Golden Age of Educational Media: The rise of generative AI tools is revolutionizing the development of educational content and instructional design. Co-Design & Co-Creation: The importance of listening to and co-creating with students, families, and parents to foster a sense of connection and ownership. Human Agency: The idea that purpose and goals are a "super skill" that allows individuals to engage with new capabilities more productively. Cognitive Neuroscience: Applying the science of how our brains are structured and how we learn to develop more effective learning systems. Tutors & Mentors: The crucial role of human coaches, tutors, and mentors in a world increasingly influenced by AI. We also bring back OG virtual co-host, Nancy, to discuss the Gartner Hype Cycle for 2025. We discuss how generative AI is now moving into the "Trough of Disillusionment" and that things like Model Ops and AI Engineering are quietly gaining momentum on the "Slope of Enlightenment". We also touch upon what's next, including AI agents and AI-native software engineering, and how AI is becoming a utility rather than a differentiator. Listeners can look forward to upcoming interviews with an incredible lineup of guests, including: Rich Braden and Tessa Forshaw, authors of Innovation-ish. Howard Blumenthal and Bob Pianta, authors of Kids on Earth. Michael Ioffe the Co-Founder and CEO of Arist. AJ Gutierrez from Equal Opportunity Schools. Michelle Vilchez and Sean Michael Hardy from Innovate Public Schools. Jeff Young hosts Learning Curve. Liz City and Rachel Curtis, authors of Leading Strategically.

President Crybaby Melts Down Again While America Suffers | Karel Cast 25-119 Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABC—but instead of focusing on America's real crises, the President is throwing another tantrum. From the U.N. stage to cable news, he's still whining about an election he lost years ago while ignoring soaring grocery prices, housing insecurity, healthcare failures, and global unrest. Karel asks: how much longer can MAGA followers defend a leader who only cries for himself, never for the victims of war, poverty, or disease? While inflation rises and families struggle, the President plays victim—proving once again that he's unfit to lead.

In this bonus episode, Michelle Glogovac sits down with independent journalist Aaron Parnas to examine the growing crisis around freedom of speech in America. Using recent events involving media figures like Jimmy Kimmel as a backdrop, they explore how political pressures and corporate influence are threatening the First Amendment. Aaron shares his journey from law to journalism, the personal risks he faces reporting the truth, and why media literacy and civic education are essential to preserving democracy. Together, they make a compelling case for why supporting independent journalism is critical to protecting free speech and ensuring an informed public.What We're Talking About...Freedom of speech is under threat in America.Independent media is crucial for unbiased news.The current political climate is pushing journalists to adapt.Civics education is lacking in schools across the country.Engaging younger generations in politics is essential.The divide between active and inactive citizens is growing.Media literacy is necessary to combat misinformation.Independent journalists face unique challenges and threats.Supporting independent journalism is vital for democracy.Personal passion drives the work of independent journalists.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Current Events04:31 The Importance of Independent Media07:40 Navigating News in Real-Time10:45 The Shift from Law to Journalism13:50 Facing Threats as a Journalist16:59 The State of Political Engagement19:53 Encouraging Civic Awareness22:42 Supporting Independent Journalism23:51 The Importance of Supporting Free Speech24:20 Staying Informed and Active in Current EventsLinks MentionedAaron Parnas on Substackhttps://substack.com/@aaronparnas

Afeni is an activist and community organizer based in Washington D.C. who was recently brutalized and detained by her city’s police just for filming. Afeni joins our hosts, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross to tell the story of her arrest and what federal control of D.C. means for the resistance to Trump’s crackdown. We get a peak inside the life of an activist and a critical perspective on the city’s current governance.

On episode 96 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take a look at Kamala Harris’ new tell-all memoir, the possibility of a Trump 3rd term, and the extrajudicial killings by the U.S. and Israeli militaries. In Kamala Harris’ new memoir, she speaks candidly about her relationship with Joe Biden, his staff, and the 2024 race for President. She holds nothing back and our hosts speculate her criticism of Biden will NOT be taken lightly by the establishment. Trump has not explicitly said that he’s going to run for a third term, in violation of the 22nd amendment. However, his team is selling “Trump ‘28” hats, and he hasn’t ruled it out. Knowing Trump, why aren’t those in power taking this possibility more seriously? Israel tried to kill Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar (a close U.S. ally) while those leaders were meeting to discuss a proposed Gaza ceasefire, eliminating the possibility for peace. Meanwhile, the U.S. military blows up a boat in the Caribbean that the Trump administration claimed was running drugs without providing evidence. These extrajudicial killings undermine international law and American prestige. This is not the first time Israel has sabotaged U.S.-led negotiations with airstrikes, eliminating the possibility for peace and straining U.S. relationships with its Mid-East allies.

Why the Epstein Files Don't Matter Anymore | Karel Cast 25-121 We already know the truth: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were close friends, and there's more than enough evidence pointing toward Trump's misconduct. But here's the problem—MAGA doesn't care. No matter how much proof is presented, they refuse to believe it. So why are Democrats still chasing Epstein files as if they'll change anything? Until there's a criminal conviction that sticks, Trump's cult loyalty makes him untouchable. Meanwhile, Israel escalates attacks abroad, raising tough questions: Is your frustration with Netanyahu's government or with the Jewish community as a whole? And on U.S. soil, the Supreme Court is eroding civil rights—driving while Mexican in Los Angeles is apparently enough to get pulled over. How much longer can this divided nation hold together before a breakup feels inevitable?

RFK Jr & Vaccine Denial: Why He's Dangerous for America

This week on the Media Roundtable, we're bringing you inside the opening fireside chat from the 2025 Chief Audio Officer Summit, featuring two of the most influential independent voices in media today: Steven Bartlett (Host of Diary of a CEO, Founder of FLIGHTSTORY) and Ben Shapiro (Host of The Ben Shapiro Show, Co-Founder of The Daily Wire).In conversation with Dan Granger (CEO, Oxford Road), and with a stunning oceanfront sunset as their backdrop, our guests get into the real trade-offs of staying independent, even and especially in the face of nine-figure offers; the discipline behind their respective growth; and how brands can unlock outsized results when they lean into creator-led partnerships.“Independence, in this moment, is a good marker for a lot of listeners and audiences of authenticity. People want to feel like they're not just tuning into an institution. They want to feel like they're turning into a person.”—Ben Shapiro (Host of The Ben Shapiro Show, Co-Founder of The Daily Wire)The fireside chat covers: Experimenting for Exponential Growth, Striking the Right Ad Load Balance, and Letting Creators Cook.

Trump's Health Questions Grow: Why Isn't the Media Asking? | Karel Cast 25-118 Donald Trump vanishes for days at a time, his legs appear swollen from venous insufficiency, and his hands often look bruised. At nearly 80 years old, these could be normal signs of aging — or indicators of something more serious. Trump and MAGA made Biden's health fair game, yet the media stays largely silent on Trump's visible health struggles. Why the double standard? Shouldn't the public demand answers? Is he just slowing down, or is something bigger being hidden? Plus, on today's show: ever wondered how a song is created from scratch?

Independent filmmaker, Teace Snyder, is working on a project to document the lives of some of the most important voices in the independent media. The Grimerica guys were the first mini documentary released, followed by films on Derrick Broze, Hrvoje Moric, Ryan Cristian, and the Union of the Unwanted.

Joy Reid was an early social media adopter — which didn't always go over well with her former bosses at MSNBC. But after her primetime show, The ReidOut, was canceled as part of MSNBC's shakeup, this past February, Reid quickly used social media platforms to successfully pivot to independent media.  Kara and Reid discuss the evolving landscape of cable news, how her Substack, "Joy's House", and her YouTube channel, "The Joy Reid Show”, allow her to cover topics like the war in Gaza and politics with more freedom, and her insights into the direction of the Democratic party. Plus: Reid's thoughts on MSNBC's new name/logo, MSNOW. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky @onwithkaraswisher.

From New York City, Documented's Labor Reporter Amir Khafagy returns to fill us in on mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's win in the primary election, and how mainstream media overlooked the immigrant vote. Was this a “political upset” to journalists from those very communities? And reporting from the U.S. South, Capital B Rural Issues Reporter Aallyah Wright discusses new legislation from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that will have devastating impacts on Black farmers. Also in this episode: employers allegedly threatening immigrant workers with ICE and deportation for speaking up about wage theft, the independent media model and holding journalists accountable. As you'll hear, these reporters are not just covering their communities — they're helping to build the infrastructure for more inclusive, accurate storytelling about race, place, and power.“In the mainstream media there was this conversation happening around, maybe the gentrifier class and the hipsters were the ones coming out and voting for [Zohran Mamdani]. And that may have been true to some extent, but immigrant communities, especially Asian immigrant communities, were really excited for him . . .  Some of the districts in Queens that even went Trump voted for Zohran. - Amir Khafagy“I've been seeing a lot of news coverage about the USDA, when we talk about office closures or folks being laid off, or these grants that are being cut . . . But they're not always focused on the realities of what that looks like for Black farmers, given the history of the fraught relationship between Black farmers and the USDA and the historic discrimination.” - Aallyah WrightGuests:• Amir Khafagy: Senior Labor Reporter, Documented NY• Aallyah Wright: Rural Issues Reporter, Capital B Watch the episode released on YouTube July 25th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 27th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
