ME, MOM & THE MONSTER "The results of your predictive testing are here, and they show that you did inherit the gene for Huntington's disease." Those words, delivered by the neurologist to 57-year-old Mae Brown, forever changed her life and the lives of her family. Me, Mom & the Monster is a soul-stirring memoir that follows the path of this farming wife, businesswoman, mother and grandmother who lived a life with a monster of a disease. Interwoven with Mae's story is that of her third child, Corinne, whose life is intrinsically connected to her mother's diagnosis. Told from alternating voices of Corinne and her mother, this is a candid account of the harrowing effects of living with a fatal, genetic disease. Me, Mom & the Monster captures the authenticity and vulnerability of a mother and daughter who find themselves entwined in a long dance with a neurodegenerative disease. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Why she didn't want to write this book What writing it let out The readers who've found themselves in it The Devil's Dance, and the silence around Huntington's The losses, and which one was hardest Her mother's decision to go into long-term care Living at risk, and choosing not to be tested All royalties go to the Huntington Society of Canada ABOUT THE AUTHOR Corinne Brown was 10-years old when she told her teacher that when she grew up, she was going to be an author. A few decades may have passed since then, but the author's dream was realized in June of 2026 with the publication of her debut book, Me, Mom & the Monster, Our Dance Through Huntington's Disease. Corinne, a native Newfoundlander, grew up surrounded by books, newspapers and magazines. Her environment must have had some impact since she graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a Bachelor of Arts and then went on to pursue a Journalism diploma at Mount Royal University. Although her initial intention was to write fiction, Corinne says the story of Me, Mom & the Monster needed to be told first. She says sharing the intimate story of being part of a Huntington's disease family opened the space for other ideas. When she isn't creating characters, and envisioning scenes and scenarios, she finds comfort in being outside. She lives in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada where she is continuously adding to her To Be Read stack and where she is currently writing her second book.

Kenny and Mike are joined by Director and Producer Sharon "Rocky Roggio for a discussion of her documentary film 1946: The Mistranslations That Shifted Culture.  The film chronicles the first time the word "homosexual" appears in the Bible, the Revised Standard Verson (RSV) which was first published in 1946.  The film stars Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford, researchers who discover the translation committee that worked on the original Revised Standard Version Bible conflated and translated the Koine Greek words malakoi and arsenokoitai as "homosexual." Prior to 1946 major translations such as the King James Version (KJV) used the words for the sexual acts rather than an identity label. The work of Kathy and Ed cast light on the translation process used by the RSV committee leading up to their publication, and how changes were made to the original translastion. Interwoven throughout the film are the personal stories of Ed and Sharon and their struggles as persons of faith who faced rejection in or from their congregations. Sharon's father ,Sal Roggio, an Evangelical pastor who does not accept the mistranslation is also featured throughout parts of the film. While the film does depict tension, disagreement and pain between Sharon and her father, the film also shows that they still love one another and are in relationship, which is not always the case in families. This focus on being able to hold tension of disagreement while also maintaining a relationship is model of faith for others to consider to replicate.     Sharon Roggio In the discussion, Sharon also discusses how she produced and has distrubuted the film. 1946 won over 20 awards on the festival circuit including the prestigious Audience Award at the 2022 DOC NYC. It was also eligible for consideration for best feature documentary for the Academy Awards in 1924. In 2025 Sharon organized a "1946 Tour" where they showed the film in conservative communities in the United States as a way to speak for the LGTB community and have dialogue with others in the towns. Sharon has also shown the film internationally including Korea, Japan, various Eurpopean countries and is taking the film to South Africa as well.  There are also plans for  "Good Faith" tour in 2027 in the United States.   Kathy Baldock  Ed Oxford

"Skynet, Poseidon, and the Art of the Metascript"

Episode Date: August 29, 2026This episode of Infinite Plane Saturn Day, broadcasted on August 29, 2026, serves as an intellectual critique of the “Metascript”—the simulated, highly controlled reality that governs both mainstream and alternative news cycles. The host opens with a temporal alignment: August 29th is the exact date Skynet becomes self-aware in Terminator 2, which timed perfectly with the film's theatrical re-release starting yesterday. He explains that directors like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan are “meta-scripters” who use highly realistic cinematic propaganda to prepare the public mind for faked historical events, notably impending nuclear psychological operations.The host connects these scripts to current events, pointing to Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear-powered submarine and its mirroring in the television show The Diplomat. To the host, this concurrent programming is designed to educate the public on how to respond to an eventual faked sea-based attack. He expands this critique to “MKUltra,” arguing that mainstream and alternative media are actually modern branches of the same trauma-induced mind control system.A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to exposing alternative media gatekeepers, or what the host calls “Trutherville”. By confronting alt-media influencer Amazing Polly over her assertions that the Trump shooting in Butler was real, the host demonstrates how the “main and alt” duopoly functions. He argues that both sides reinforce false premises, solidifying fake events in the public consensus. He states that figures like Charlie Kirk are constructed characters, and faked deaths like those in Butler or the J6 riots are heavily choreographed performances designed to manufacture a false worldview.The host also dissects common conspiracy narratives, dismissing chemtrails as a simple weather-dependent phenomenon where hot jet exhaust condenses in the freezing stratosphere. He explains that politicians merely pander to these beliefs to capture the “chud vote”. Similarly, the Mandela Effect is analyzed as retroactive interference—a gaslighting tactic that implants false memories in a highly suggestible, “auto-disbelieving” truther audience. Interwoven with personal reflections about his own DoorDash shifts, temporary Starlink outages, and the upcoming second edition of his handbook, the host delivers a sharp wake-up call. He warns his audience that they have until September 11th to sever ties with alternative media “shepherds” and make the transition into “Realville”.Key Takeaways (5 Bullet Points)* The Metascript and Predictive Programming: The host argues that elite “meta-scripters” like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan use cinema to prime the mass consciousness for future faked events, such as nuclear catastrophes, by aligning movie plots with real-world timelines.* The Poseidon Threat and Geopolitical Integration: The broadcast highlights the concurrent release of The Diplomat Season 4 and Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear torpedo as a structured effort to “educate” the public ahead of a simulated sea-based crisis.* The Mainstream-Alternative Duopoly: Using his confrontation with Amazing Polly as an example, the host asserts that both mainstream and alternative media share the same false starting premises to solidify simulated events (like J6 or the Butler shooting) into accepted history.* Deconstructing Conspiracy Tropes: The host refutes popular alternative theories, characterizing chemtrails as basic water condensation from hot jet exhaust and the Mandela Effect as retroactively implanted false memories designed to gaslight vulnerable followers.* The Transition to “Realville”: Listeners are urged to fully abandon the “anti” and “pro” dialectics of “Trutherville” before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and migrate to “Realville,” where critical thinkers process media through systematic pattern recognition rather than emotional reactions.Key Episode Quotes (5 Quotes)* “James Cameron loaded Terminator 2 and Titanic from 97 With 9-11 predictive programming, and on 9-11, he was at the scene of the sunken Titanic.”* “And that's what predictive programming does. It is there to educate the public about what's going to be faked so they know what it's going to be.”* “We are a fake news wood chipper at this point.”* “...my essential premise here is that main and alt are in fact a duopoly. They both start with the exact same premise, which is always false.”* “Yeah, mainstream media is MKUltra. Alt-media, MKUltra. I've stepped out of both.”

Join host Jeff on the April 21 episode of Right On Radio for a wide‑ranging show that mixes hard news, opinion, and spiritual reflection. This episode opens with a short promo for the video course "Decoding the Power of Three" (coupon code: redeem, valid through the end of April) before diving into two main themes: justice and accountability in U.S. politics, and the escalating decisions and negotiations surrounding the Iran conflict. Jeff plays and discusses clips from several commentators and guests, including John Solomon (on Benny Johnson's show), Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel (on Maria Bartiromo), and a Newsmax segment alleging a broad conspiracy dating back to the Obama years. Key talking points include anticipated rapid declassification of documents, the prospect of a major “grand conspiracy” case, speculation about high‑profile flips and prosecutions, and timing considerations tied to July 4 and the midterm cycle. The episode moves into foreign policy and the Iran situation: Trump's recent audio interview and repeated references to Iran “giving back the nuclear dust,” reports of a seized ship allegedly carrying materials for rocket fuel, ceasefire/peace talks with looming deadlines, and strategic analysis of factional divides within Iran (IRGC vs. regular army). Jeff outlines several possible outcomes — from negotiated deals to resumed strikes on selected targets — and offers his view on likely military and political tactics. Interwoven throughout is a strong theme of media skepticism and propaganda, with Jeff urging listeners to read between the lines of mainstream coverage. He also references an AI‑produced satirical video clip and other social media items used to illustrate contemporary messaging and culture war dynamics. Religious content and symbolism figure prominently: Jeff previews a prerecorded Trump message to be played at a Bible reading event on the Washington Mall, sponsored by the Museum of the Bible, and highlights Trump's planned reading of 2 Chronicles 7:11–22. The show ends with a clip discussing the Book of Enoch and symbolic connections between ancient texts and modern political parties, tying the political and geopolitical coverage back to biblical interpretation and spiritual urgency. Expect opinionated analysis, selected audio clips, news summaries, biblical readings and reflections, and an open request for listener feedback. Jeff closes with a recap urging faith, family, and community engagement while inviting listeners to weigh in on potential arrests, the Iran negotiations, and the broader implications he sees for America's future.

Is the World Experiencing an 'Inverted Baptism'? — New World Order, AI, Pizzagate & Prophecy

On the April 15, 2026 episode of Right On Radio host Jeff is joined by his brother in the Lord John from We've Read the Documents for a wide-ranging conversation about spiritual symbolism, geopolitics, and the signs of the age. The show opens with the regular "word on word" scripture segment (Mark 13:33 and Romans 10:9–10) before moving into the main discussion framed by the question: is the world undergoing an "inverted baptism" — the death of the old order and the emergence of a new one? Jeff and John unpack that baptism analogy and consider whether the global realignment has a spiritual layer. They discuss concrete geopolitical moves — including Trump's actions around the Strait of Hormuz, energy-route control (mentions of Indonesia and the Panama Canal), and the risk of escalation — and how those moves fit into a larger pattern of power consolidation. The episode turns to technology and governance: the hosts analyze the roles of Palantir, Peter Thiel, Oracle/Larry Ellison, Sam Altman and the rise of public–private, AI-driven systems that could function as the infrastructural "beast." They debate whether AI will serve as an "image" to be worshipped alongside a literal human Antichrist and explore how corporatocracy and AI governance might be forming today. Political corruption and coercion are central themes. Clips and commentary cover Eric Swalwell and claims of blackmail controlling politicians (including a striking quote from Steve Miller), George Santos's remarks about the PAGE program, renewed talk of Pizzagate and Franklin-era scandals, grand jury activity, and conversations about FISA renewal. Jeff and John assess how these revelations and delays fit into a broader strategy and what they mean for accountability. Interwoven are pastoral reflections: both hosts emphasize God's sovereignty, the need for spiritual discernment, and the limits of human certainty about prophetic timetables.

Rock the Cash Bah — Iran, Nukes, and the High‑Stakes Financial Chessboard

Host Jeff opens this Good Friday episode with a blend of faith, personal stories, and hard-hitting analysis. The show begins with the regular Word on Word segment — comparing Psalm 145:18 and Romans 5:6–8 — before moving into a personal anecdote about music smuggling in Iran that inspired the opening song "Rock the Cash Bar." This sets the tone for a program focused on cultural conflict, censorship, and the human cost behind geopolitical headlines. The bulk of the episode examines recent political and financial developments. Jeff reads and decodes Donald Trump's Truth Social post and a current Trump clip about Iran, nuclear risk, and high‑level geopolitical "chess." He connects those statements to broader themes: the petrodollar, sanctions, rising oil prices, and how global debt-holders (China, Japan, India, U.K., etc.) could react in a crisis. Marco Rubio's warning about future limits on sanctions and the global move toward digital currencies prompt a deeper dive into what a digital, asset-backed U.S. stablecoin might mean. Jeff outlines the so-called "Genius Act" and his theory that a future policy could put citizens' collective assets onto a ledger to offset national debt — a move he frames as both a possible rescue for the financial system and a pathway to technocratic control. He ties this scenario into concerns about public‑private partnerships, digital wallets, rewards apps, and the erosion of financial privacy and autonomy, warning of a transition to a single digital currency and greater centralization. Interwoven are other news threads Jeff flags for listeners: legal claims involving the Toronto Star and alleged RCMP disclosures about Justin Trudeau, ongoing Melania/Epstein reporting, Artemis moon coverage, and hints at forthcoming UFO/space narratives. He also reflects on theology and eschatology, discussing AI's role in a possible end‑times technocracy and how biblical prophecy factors into his worldview. Practical takeaways and preparedness advice are emphasized: reduce or eliminate personal debt, prioritize hard assets (gold, silver, even land with water or timber), consider physical improvements to owned homes, and keep some cash for short‑term needs. Jeff urges skepticism about the stock market and highlights resource ownership as a hedge against inflation and digital controls, while stressing the importance of community, faith, and prayer (including a Saturday prayer session and a Sunday sermon link). This is a solo episode with host Jeff — a mix of commentary, theory, spiritual reflection, and actionable suggestions. Listeners can expect political decoding, financial hypotheses about a ledger-based stablecoin system, biblical framing of contemporary events, and concrete recommendations for protecting assets in an increasingly digital, centralized world.

On this Wednesday episode of Right On Radio host Jeff is joined by John Brisson of We've Read the Documents for a wide‑ranging, fast‑moving conversation that mixes scripture, current events and prophetic interpretation. The show opens with the regular "Word on Word" segment comparing John 10:11 and Deuteronomy 7:9, followed by a preview of an important Podbean announcement Jeff teases for Friday. Jeff and John dissect a viral literary oddity — Leslie Donald Epstein's 1979 novel King of the Jews — and compare it to earlier prophetic/fictional coincidences (Ingersoll Lockwood, Baron Trump) as they explore themes of cultural projection, anti‑Christian currents in modern thought, and symbolic covers and characters that mirror contemporary figures. The discussion shifts to U.S. domestic politics: controversy around election integrity, the SAVE Act, subpoenas and evidence retrieval in Maricopa and Georgia, reports about DOJ actions around autopen cases, and concerns about National Guard mobilization and expanding detention infrastructure. They weigh possibilities from humiliation rituals to actual exposures that could reshape American politics. Internationally, Jeff and John analyze the Iran conflict, Israel's rhetoric, recent U.S.–Russia communications (including Trump's call with Putin), and shifting energy/financial alignments — including talk of moving energy trades back into U.S. dollars and fractures in BRICS. Military developments and new weapons technology (particle beams/laser/orbital strike) and their strategic implications are examined, with references to historical programs and contemporary contractors. Interwoven with political analysis are prophetic readings: the hosts debate interpretations of the rider on the white horse, whether Trump or another figure fits end‑time archetypes, and how emerging geopolitics might tie to eschatological timelines. They also touch on cultural disclosure topics (institutionalized sexual abuse revelations) and the societal consequences of increasing mainstream acknowledgment. The episode closes with practical notes: an invitation to the weekly Wednesday prayer call on Telegram, a personal update about Jeff's father's hospitalization and a pastoral reminder to love God, family and community. Listeners can expect theology, politics, conspiracy analysis, prophetic reflection and calls to prayer across this episode.

In this uplifting episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Rabbi David Sutton to explore The Bitachon Haggadah – With a Daily Dose of Preparation, a sefer that transforms the way we approach Pesach.  At its heart is a powerful yet simple idea: true freedom doesn't begin on the night of the Seder — it begins thirty days earlier. Rabbi Sutton shares how this unique “two-in-one” work serves both as a 30-day daily reader and a complete Haggadah with commentary, gently guiding readers through a month-long journey of emunah, bitachon, and inner growth so they can arrive at Pesach calm, centered, and spiritually ready. Drawing on the wisdom of Chazal, Rishonim, and later Torah giants, Rabbi Sutton explains how Yetzias Mitzrayim is not merely a story of the past, but a living, personal experience meant to renew our faith each year. Interwoven with meaningful insights and heart-stirring stories, the Haggadah brings warmth and depth to the Seder table while strengthening one's connection to Hashem long after Pesach has passed.  This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on preparation, showing how anticipation itself can become a pathway to serenity, clarity, and true cheirus.

Join host Jeff on this Friday episode of Right On Radio for a wide-ranging program that blends scripture, current events, and intelligence analysis. The show opens with the Word on Word segment — a listener-facing scripture choice between 1 John 3:18 and Ephesians 5 — and reflections on faith, hope, and the sing-along power of Chris Tomlin's “Our God.” Jeff moves into pattern-recognition analysis and media commentary, responding to technical issues from a previous livestream with Tim and previewing his own upcoming books (including a project on "decoding the power of three"). He plays and contextualizes a series of clips including excerpts from Tucker Carlson's Huckabee interview about Bibi Netanyahu's Amalek remarks, clips of rabbis discussing the historical concept of Amalek, and related commentary from media figures such as Rick Wiles and a rabbi's daughter describing hidden practices inside religious communities. The episode digs into military and intelligence topics: reports about the USS Gerald Ford operating in the Middle East (including crew unrest and clogged plumbing reportedly caused by sailors), possible Iranian strike capabilities, and the presence of Chinese and Russian naval assets. Jeff cites voices like Colonel Douglas MacGregor and ties those reports to broader geopolitical concerns. Political and national-security coverage includes clips from Tulsi Gabbard on the "deep state," Secretary Kristi Noem describing discovery of a secret SCIF and alleged surveillance on staff devices, John Solomon on election vulnerabilities and Senate procedure, and viral commentary from Steve Seibold about possible political plans. Jeff also touches on documents and allegations involving the Maxwell family, foreign access to U.S. systems, and historical conspiratorial claims he's tracking. Interwoven with the intelligence and political segments are human-interest moments: a military aviator receiving recognition for bravery, a short classroom clip (a nun teaching the virtue of "doing the little things well"), viewer chat reactions, and fundraising updates for the show. Jeff closes with a call to prayer (Saturday at 8 p.m.), encouragement to love God and neighbor, and a musical send-off. Listeners can expect a mix of biblical reflection, multimedia clip analysis, national-security reporting, and opinionated pattern-recognition — plus references to guests and clips from Tim, Tucker Carlson, Huckabee, Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, John Solomon, and others.

Eyeglasses have become so commonplace we hardly think about them—unless we can't find them. Yet glasses have been controversial throughout history. Roger Bacon pioneered using lenses to see and then spent a decade in a medieval prison for advocating that he could fix" God's creations by improving our eyesight. Even today, people take off their glasses before having their picture taken, despite how necessary they are. A Four-Eyed World: How Glasses Changed the Way We See (Bloomsbury, 2026) is the first book to investigate the experience of wearing glasses and contacts and their role in culture. Dr. David King Dunaway encourages readers to take a look at how they literally see the world through what they wear. He explores everything from the history of deficient eyesight and how glasses are made to portrayals of those who wear glasses in media, the stigma surrounding them, and the future of augmented and virtual reality glasses, highlighting how glasses have shaped, and continue to shape, who we are. Interwoven is Dr. Dunaway's own experience of spending a week without his glasses, which he has used since childhood, to see the world around him and his newfound appreciation for his visual aids. This is the story of how we see the world and how our ability to see things has evolved, ultimately asking: How have two cloudy, quarter-sized discs of crystal or glass originally riveted together become so essential to human existence? Shakespeare famously said eyes are windows to the soul, but what about people who see only by covering theirs with glasses? Readers will find out together through this fascinating and insightful cultural history of one of humanity's greatest inventions. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this Monday Meeting episode the hosts (with Blake and Cornbread absent) pick up Acts chapter 13, unpacking what it means to be “sent out by the Holy Spirit.” They walk through Paul and Barnabas' missionary start, synagogue-first evangelism, the confrontation with Elymas (Bar-Jesus) and the dramatic blinding that leads Sergius Paulus to believe. The conversation moves into theology and practice: distinctions in how the Holy Spirit spoke in the apostolic era versus today, the challenge of discerning prophetic voice, Paul's name shift, and the broader theme of God reforming our desires to align with His will. Interwoven are personal testimonies and pastoral reflections — a host's recent run-in with law enforcement and subsequent repentance, the conviction that grieving over sin can be evidence of the Spirit, and a powerful account of spiritual warfare and deliverance in a spouse's recovery. They also discuss caution around modern prophetic claims and the practical role of Scripture in discernment.

February 15th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald The first chapter of Jonah is one of my favorite passages. Interwoven into the story of Jonah’s fleeing from God’s call is the story of a group of sailors who have an unexpected encounter with God that radically alters their lives. Because of Jonah, they face a storm. At first, they pray to their gods and try everything in their own wisdom and power to get themselves out of this horrible situation. Nothing works. Everything they have relied on in the past; their gods, and their own wisdom and power won’t fix this problem. When they finally confront Jonah, who fears the Lord God of heaven, they become extremely frightened. Deep inside these men, just like us, is a knowledge of God that God has placed there. In our sin and disobedience, we suppress that truth, but it is always there. When we are confronted with storms, the truth often finds its way to the surface. We are confronted with the knowledge of God. What those sailors do next is amazing. They pray to God. They ask for forgiveness and then carry out the judgment of God on Jonah as Jonah had directed them. The storm quits raging. They make it to shore, offer sacrifices to God, and make vows. These men who set out that morning on a routine voyage ended up facing a storm that caused them to run to God, have a personal encounter with Him, and their lives and eternity were changed. Where do you turn when you encounter the storms of life? What idols do you look to? Do you rely upon your own wisdom and strength? When those fail, where do you turn? Do you have an unshakable foundation in your life that carries you through the storms? David had an unshakable foundation in the Lord. The Lord was his good, his delight, his counsel, his refuge, his inheritance, and his eternal joy and hope. This foundation provided him the strength to navigate the storms and even give him confident hope in the face of death. I pray that you will join us as we walk through Psalm 16. It is going to be another great weekend with God’s people. I hope to see you at church! In Christ, Pastor Chad

What unfolds is not just a conversation about Meta's technology—but about grief, truth, and what it means to refuse indifference.The Roberts family shares how Instagram's algorithms repeatedly recommended suicide-related content to their daughter, how duplicate videos remained online long after being reported, and how easily this material continues to circulate today. Sarah breaks down the technical reality: the tools to prevent and remove this content exist—and always have.Interwoven with these devastating realities are moments of grounding, connection, and meaning: reflections on community among bereaved parents, a courthouse vigil outside the Los Angeles trial, and the belief that love—never indifference—is what drives this fight.This episode is raw. It is painful. And it is essential.As the courtroom doors finally open, this conversation captures what's truly on trial: corporate choices, accountability, and the lives of children.Listener discretion advised.

In this episode I am talking about the Cash–Landrum UFO encounter.Some encounters fade into obscurity; others refuse to be neatly filed away. Cash–Landrum is very much in the latter category. It sits at the intersection of several larger themes the podcast regularly explores: the limits of official transparency, the frailty of the human body in the face of the unknown, and the way extraordinary experiences can fracture the boundary between private memory and public controversy.This happens in the broader historical and cultural context of late-Cold War America, a period when military activity, experimental technology, and deep public mistrust of government secrecy all swirled together. This atmosphere shaped both the interpretation of the case and the response it received, highlighting how easily genuine fear can be dismissed as imagination when it does not fit comfortably within accepted narratives.The episode also considers the unusual role that military presence, real or disputed, has played in shaping public perception of the case. Rather than offering sensational claims, I reflect on why the absence of clear answers can sometimes be more disturbing than the presence of them, and how official silence can deepen mystery rather than resolve it.Interwoven throughout is a broader meditation on why we are drawn to stories like this at all. Is it the possibility that we are not alone? The fear that powerful forces operate beyond democratic accountability? Or something more personal, the idea that an ordinary life can be suddenly disrupted by something utterly inexplicable?The Cash–Landrum case becomes a lens through which to examine how society treats those who report the impossible, and how truth can become entangled with politics, law, and reputation.The episode closes not with conclusions, but with an open question. Whether one views the case as evidence of something beyond our world, a by-product of secret military activity, or a deeply contested mystery, it remains a story that resists closure. For those interested in the deeper currents beneath headline-grabbing sightings, this episode offers a thoughtful, unhurried exploration of a case that continues to challenge our assumptions about power, truth, and the unknown. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode Drora Arussy speaks with historian Adam S. Ferziger about his latest book, Agents of Change: American Jews and the Transformation of Israeli Judaism (New York University Press, 2025). Ferziger, a professor at Bar-Ilan University and one of the leading voices in the study of modern religious movements, offers a compelling exploration of the transnational interactions that have reshaped Israeli Judaism and redefined the contours of religious Zionism. Agents of Change investigates how ideas, teachers, and institutions moved across the Atlantic between America and Israel, creating new hybrid forms of Jewish religious expression. Ferziger focuses on a group of North American Orthodox rabbis and educators, many of them students of Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik at Yeshiva University, who immigrated to Israel between 1965 and 1983. These figures—working at the nexus of American Modern Orthodoxy and Israeli religious Zionism—introduced new educational paradigms, reimagined communal norms, and ultimately diversified the ideological landscape of Israeli Orthodoxy. The conversation delves into the shifting meaning of religious Zionism after the 1967 Six-Day War, when a movement once on the margins of Zionist politics emerged as a vital force within Israeli society. Ferziger traces how theological optimism about Israel's redemptive role led to internal debates over nationalism, messianism, and engagement with secular Israeli culture. He also shows how American-trained educators brought new emphases on intellectual openness, structured learning, and ethical responsibility that subtly reconfigured Israeli Torah study and communal life. Interwoven through the dialogue is a broader reflection on transnational educational exchange—how Jewish learning operates as both a local and global phenomenon. Ferziger emphasizes education's transformative potential: students, he argues, do not merely replicate ideas but reinterpret them within new social and cultural frames. This dynamic has fueled the growth of innovative models in contemporary Israel, from advanced programs for women's Torah study to initiatives blending religious learning with military and civic service. Arussy and Ferziger also discuss adjacent developments, including the integration of American Haredim into Israeli society, the emergence of Orthodox feminism as a transnational phenomenon, and the rise of global study networks such as Hadran, founded by Michelle Farber. Through these case studies, Ferziger illustrates how the intellectual and spiritual currents flowing between America and Israel continue to reshape what it means to live a religious Jewish life in a modern state. Throughout the interview, Ferziger reflects on the delicate balance between personal engagement and scholarly distance, underscoring the historian's task of acknowledging one's perspective while maintaining methodological transparency. His approach embodies the spirit of Agents of Change: to view Jewish history not as a story confined within national borders but as a transnational dialogue that continually evolves through exchange, adaptation, and reinterpretation. Agents of Change: American Jews and the Transformation of Israeli Judaism offers an incisive analysis of how transnational networks have redefined modern Jewish identities.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a texthe conversation moves through a fast, chaotic blend of social commentary, sexual humor, political cynicism, and personal reflection. It begins with discussion about the resurgence of collectible items and how AI and capitalism may force people back into simpler, more human activities. That leads into a critique of money, crypto, billionaires, and the concept that nearly everything in modern society is essentially fake. The dialogue expands into global politics—sanctions, coups, oil interests, and the U.S. acting as an unchecked global power.From there, the tone shifts into absurd humor about farming, insemination, and how people who fist cows often hold conservative anti-LGBT views. The conversation spirals into kink culture: leather scenes, pups, masks, fetishes, and why certain communities exist. This includes uncomfortable, explicit questions about fisting, bodily functions, sexual progression, and why some people enjoy extreme acts.The discussion then swerves to everyday life: talking to dogs like children, dogs' pack behavior, the contrast with aloof cats, and the bizarre reality of pets living indoors. Food prices, inflation, and the shrinking size of groceries become a point of frustration. The conversation returns to personal growth, aging, creative phases, past podcast eras, and how both hosts have changed since earlier episodes. Nostalgia for past creative periods emerges, along with recognition of personal evolution.Interwoven is a thread about filmmaking: the beginning of a documentary project, motivations behind solo travel, the meta-process of documenting the making of a documentary, and how it ties to self-reflection. The dialogue continues into aging, nightlife shifting into quiet routines, and the strange dissonance between adult responsibilities and the outrageous conversations they still have.Overall, the transcript jumps from existential dread to explicit gay sexual comedy, from geopolitical collapse to pet parenting, from leather festivals to the price of soup—all narrated with unfiltered honesty, sarcasm, and vulgar humor.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Crime Writers On...True Crime Review

TV producer Jodi Tovay caught a standup comedy set in Scotland that took a dark and captivating turn. Interwoven with his earnest jokes, comedian Edd Hedges told the terrifying story of how a killer struck his neighborhood - then attempted to get into his house. Years later Tovay convinced Hedges to further explore the crime that continued to haunt him. And as she learned more about what happened that night in 2015, and Hedge's place in it, she wondered how much of the entertainer's story is based in truth.From Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts comes “Wisecrack.” Listeners hear Hedges tell his story of mirth and murder live on stage, before the pair dig deeper into the causes behind the violence his family escaped from. With its “Baby Reindeer” echos, the series explores unreliable memories, criminal behavior, and lingering trauma. OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WISECRACK" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
