Today I'm joined by CJ Killmer, host of the Dangerous History Podcast, for a hard look at where America might be headed as tensions and political violence keep rising. A lot of people compare our current divide to the Civil War, but CJ makes a strong case that's the wrong model. Instead, he points to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a messy, decades-long conflict that mixed politics, religion, and insurgency in ways that feel a lot closer to what a modern breakdown could look like. CJ knows this history inside and out. He studied the British Empire and Irish history … Continue reading →
Federal food assistance is set to stop November 1 if lawmakers are unable to solve the government shutdown. That means the supply of food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to low-income Native Americans will begin running out without help from alternative sources. Some tribes are putting funds and other efforts toward filling the sudden gap. At least one tribe is culling their own buffalo herds to provide meat for hungry citizens. We'll get an overview of the situation for Native residents who rely on SNAP. We'll also hear about the lengths to which Alaska Native organizations are working to provide traditional foods to the people displaced by major storms on the state's west coast. GUESTS Carly Griffith-Hotvedt (Cherokee), executive director of the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative Lyle Rutherford (Blackfeet), Blackfeet Tribal Councilman Kelsey Ciugun Wallace (Yup'ik and Irish), president and CEO of the Alaska Native Heritage Center

This week's Inside Politics podcast with Hugh Linehan explores what a united Ireland would actually involve, Irish Times columnist Fintan O'Toole and Belfast Telegraph journalist Sam McBride have written a new book that addresses the case both for and against Irish unity.The structure of the book is unusual. Each journalist writes two long chapters: one arguing for unity, and one arguing against. O'Toole says the aim is to “give people a sense of what a decent argument looks like”. Too often, he suggests, the subject becomes a referendum about identity rather than a discussion of consequences. McBride agrees, saying most people “don't get beyond the binary of are you for or against it” even though “none of us know what it would mean”.Practical questions run through the book: healthcare integration, welfare harmonisation, education, taxation and policing. McBride stresses the range of possible constitutional models. Northern Ireland could remain semi-autonomous within a united Ireland; or the island could adopt a more federal structure. “We don't even know the most basic elements of this,” he says.Their conclusion is that everyone on the island will soon need to make an informed choice. And that requires informed understanding, not simplistic assumptions.For and Against a United Ireland is published by the Royal Irish Academy. Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of Unskippable Dialogue, Conor takes Pearse through Sifu. Slow Clap's brutal, stylish martial arts brawler that turns every punch, parry, and defeat into a lesson in patience, precision, and self-improvement.Set in a gorgeously stylised, cel-shaded world inspired by Hong Kong action cinema, Sifu puts players in the shoes of a young martial artist avenging their murdered master. But vengeance has a cost: every death ages you, and mastery demands more than brute force; it demands letting go.Conor and Pearse break down how Sifu's rhythm-based combat, roguelike progression, and clever level design transform kung-fu into a meditative experience about control, growth, and when to stop fighting. Expect discussions on the game's cultural authenticity, the philosophy behind its “true ending,” and why Sifu might be the best Daredevil game never made.UD is a weekly Irish gaming podcast serving up honest game reviews, deep dives, retro throwbacks, and sharp commentary on the world of gaming.Follow us:Ig – https://instagram.com/unskippabledialogueX – https://twitter.com/unskippablepodTikTok – https://tiktok.com/@unskippabledialogueYouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@UnskippableDialogueSign up at https://www.unskippabledialogue.com for updates, giveaways, and exclusive content.Contact: hello@unskippabledialogue.com Hosted on Acast.

"Dracula" is a Romanian satirical comedy-drama film written and directed by Radu Jude. The film title is inspired by the Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, "Dracula." Set in contemporary Transylvania, it explores the legend of Dracula through Romanian lenses while examining modern dystopia through the timeless allure of vampire lore, crafting a biting, gleefully profane takedown of AI, capitalism, and our decaying culture. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 78th Locarno Film Festival, where it received polarizing reviews. It's par the course for Jude, but he still has his own opinions on how audiences are receiving his 170-minute bonkers film. Jude was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience working on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 29th by 1-2 Special. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

What does it look like to give birth at home five times over the span of 20 years? In today's episode, we talk with Melissa — mama of five and seasoned home birth veteran — about her powerful, unique journey through two decades of birthing at home. From her first home birth at age 19 to her fifth birth at 39, Melissa shares the rich tapestry of her experiences: the growth, the healing, the joy, the challenges, and all the moments in between. This is a celebration of home birth in all its forms — fast births, long labors, water births, VBAC fears, healing after miscarriage, and welcoming a baby with both joy and strength. Melissa's message is clear: You are powerful. Your body is wise. Birth can be sweet, sacred, and sovereign. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why Melissa chose home birth from her very first pregnancy, and never looked back What has (and hasn't) changed in the world of home birth since the 90s How she navigated birth across two marriages and five children The differences in labor and recovery from her 20s to her late 30s Planning home births with supportive partners and what that looked like for her Her experience with miscarriage, healing, and conception after loss The emotional and physical aspects of preparing for birth at age 39 Involving older siblings in the birth space and their beautiful role in the process Why she describes home birth as “addicting” in the best way The power of midwifery care and creating sacred, intimate birth environments Connect With Us Website: https://diahpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@diahpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/diahpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doingitathome Merch: https://doingitathome.dashery.com/ Our Book: https://amzn.to/45Sxyr1 Support DIAH: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KA3QQRRU58VPL Check Out Our Partners: Needed: https://needed.sjv.io/XY3903 - use code DIAH to get 20% off your first, one-time order Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israel does not know the location of four of the remaining 13 bodies of hostages held in Gaza, even as Egypt is reportedly bringing 12 additional heavy vehicles into the enclave this morning to clear roads and assist in efforts to locate the deceased. Berman weighs in on the stability of the ceasefire as the US increases its rhetoric, pushing Hamas to release the bodies to begin the transition to phase two of the 20-point Trump peace plan. A transnational terror network run by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force is behind a string of recent attacks on Jewish sites in Western countries, the Mossad intelligence agency said on Sunday. We learn about senior IRGC-Quds Force commander Sardar Ammar, who heads a network of some 11,000 operatives carrying out covert operations and strikes on Jewish sites. Catherine Connolly, a veteran lawmaker on the far left of the Irish political spectrum, was elected president by a landslide margin on Saturday. She has drawn criticism for her views on the Hamas terror group, which she said in September was “part of the fabric of the Palestinian people,” as well as claims that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. Does Berman see an even rockier relationship with Israel on the horizon? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The internationally renowned choreographer Sir Wayne McGregor swaps stage for gallery in a landmark exhibition exploring his multifaceted career at Somerset House (from 30 Oct 2025–22 Feb 2026). ‘Infinite Bodies' investigates how Wayne McGregor has combined body, movement and cutting-edge digital technologies to redefine perceptions of physical intelligence. Throughout the gallery space he draws together designers, musicians, engineers and dancers to bring the artworks to life.The Booker prize winning novelist Anne Enright is in the studio to talk about her latest work, ‘Attention, Writing on Life, Art and the World'. Unlike her fiction, in these essays, Enright speaks directly to the reader, elucidating her thoughts on everything from family history to Irish politics and the control of women, to new perspectives on literary legends. There's a screen idol at the heart of Tanika Gupta's new play, Hedda (at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, until 22nd November). Inspired by the life of Anglo-Indian film star Merle Oberon, Gupta sets her play just after India's independence and transforms Ibsen's classic into a story about power, identity and representation.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Taste Ireland…more specifically, taste the Hidden Heartlands of the Irish Midlands through a completely original cuisine designed around the fresh local produce from surrounding farms, on offer at Athlone's Michelin Bib Gourmand culinary destination, Thyme Restaurant.Chef John Coffey conjures up his ever-evolving menu around the vegetables local organic farmer Shannon is pulling or plucking from her nearby farm that day.Local flavors, regional aromas, beautifully presented courses all plated by the Chef/Owner himself, the lively chatter of diners sitting down to what they know will be a memorable meal, the warm welcome and flawless service from the staff and the understated, unstuffy, intimate surroundings combined to provide a multisensory sendoff to Irish Stew's “Off the Beaten Craic" series, the audio chronicle of podcast hosts John Lee and Martin Nutty's eight-day ramble through Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, starting in Athlone, the geographic heart of Ireland astride the River Shannon's “brightly glancing stream.”Chef Coffey relates how he opened Thyme in November 2007, just months before the financial crisis devastated Ireland's economy, surviving days with no customers, weeks of no salary, and months of operating with a skeleton crew. Maybe it was his unwavering commitment to hyperlocal sourcing that pulled him through. The menu changes constantly depending on seasonal availability of local produce—plums for three weeks, game in autumn, heritage potatoes in varieties like Purple Rain that supermarkets abandoned decades ago. Coffey's outlook is based on community interdependence, where farmers, butchers, and their families create a self-sustaining economic ecosystem.Don't look for Reality TV chaos in the kitchen, as Coffey creates an aura of focused calm in his domain, even when diners fill all of Thyme's 56 seats.On the podcast, Chef Coffey explains why he's rejected expansion opportunities, so you'll have to get to Athlone to sample his ballotine of quail with yuko leaf and heritage potatoes or anything else he creates.So, lend an ear to Irish Stew as it begins its Midlands meanderings with a celebration of Ireland's culinary transformation and the growing appreciation for slower-paced, ingredient-focused Irish dining experiences that await in the Hidden Heartlands.Go raibh an bia blasta!

New data from hiring platform Indeed reveals that hospitality, visa sponsorship and roles that offer flexibility are dominating the job searches, seeing the most growth in Ireland this year. These findings come as Indeed hosts its annual FutureWorks event in Dublin last week, where hiring professionals will hear from guest speaker Bob Geldof on how leadership and teamwork can change the world, as well as getting a preview of Indeed's new suite of AI-powered tools. Hospitality and service jobs feature prominently among the top growing searches. "Barista" takes the number one spot on the list, reflecting the ongoing growth of coffee culture in Ireland, while "hotel" ranked third, and searches for "receptionist" and "kitchen porter" also made the top ten. This comes as a VAT reduction for the sector was announced in the most recent Budget, which may support further hiring expansion across hotels, cafés, and restaurants. Meanwhile, searches for "Ireland visa sponsorship" ranked second, highlighting the country's strong appeal to international talent, particularly amidst visa rules tightening in some other countries. Almost 14% of searches on Indeed's Irish site now come from abroad, while 42% of workers in Ireland have foreign work experience (reflecting both the inflow of international workers and the experience gained abroad by Irish jobseekers). Employment permits issued reached record highs in 2024, underlining the openness from employers to sponsoring overseas candidates. Flexibility continues to be a defining feature of Ireland's job market, with searches for "remote" and "work from home" roles also featuring on the list. Indeed data shows that almost 1 in 5 (17%) job postings in Ireland now mention remote or hybrid options, sustaining the post-pandemic shift toward flexible working. Likewise, interest in part-time opportunities remains high, with roles like these being of particular interest to students, parents and caregivers seeking roles that can fit around their lifestyle and other commitments. Yet even with these emerging trends, the most common overall search on Indeed remains a "blank" query, where job seekers enter a location but leave the job title empty. This signals both career uncertainty and openness among job seekers exploring new directions, a gap that Indeed aims to address through its latest product innovations. Conor McCarthy, Vice President at Indeed, commented: "This year's top growing searches show us what jobseekers value most: opportunity, flexibility and mobility. The rise in hospitality and visa sponsorship searches reflects both a resilient domestic sector and strong global interest in Ireland's labour market. Meanwhile, demand for remote and work-from-home roles indicates a flexible work trend that's here to stay." "The prevalence of blank searches tells us many people are open to change but unsure where to start. With this new suite of products, we're aiming to help job seekers explore their options confidently and to help employers connect with the right talent quickly." The top growing job search terms on Indeed in Ireland for 2025: 1. Barista 2. Ireland visa sponsorship 3. Hotel 4. Receptionist 5. Part-time no experience 6. Kitchen porter 7. Marketing 8. Electrician 9. Cleaner 10. Sales assistant 11. Warehouse operative 12. Cleaning 13. Childcare 14. Security 15. Remote 16. Healthcare assistant 17. Administration 18. Part time 19. Warehouse 20.

A new report commissioned by Scale Ireland and undertaken by labour market experts, David Collings, Professor of Sustainable Business at Trinity Business School, and Dr. Shirley Kavanagh, an executive adviser and consultant specialising in talent management, workforce development, and organisational strategy has found that Ireland faces a considerable challenge to meet the future skills needs of its indigenous IT sector. How to Future Proof Ireland's Talent Supply Scale Ireland is the not-for-profit, independent representative organisation for Irish tech start-up and scaling companies. It is the biggest representative organisation for the sector with 800 members. The report which it commissioned found that notwithstanding that Ireland performs creditably in international skills comparisons surveys, we face a serious challenge to meet the skills demands of a growing tech sector. Key points raised include: Ireland performs well in producing ICT graduates, but current supply models suggest that supply will be insufficient to meet future demand. Reskilling and upskilling of employees is likely to be critical. As skills evolve some skills will reduce in importance while others will emerge or become more valuable. Organisations must invest in continuous learning, upskilling and reskilling to meet emerging skills needs. A key risk is that SMEs including indigenous tech start-ups and scaling companies are less likely to have a talent development strategy in place. It is unlikely that third level institutions alone will provide sufficient supply to meet the growing skills demands of the ICT sector. We recommend a greater focus on other routes to entry to the labour market such as apprenticeships. The sector (indigenous and multinational) is already highly reliant on migrant labour with as much as 40% of employment in the sector already undertaken by non-Irish labour. The authors point to the importance of targeted global messaging about employment opportunities and the importance of an efficient employment permit system. Barriers to international migration include high personal tax rates, cost of living, personal safety, and infrastructure, particularly housing and transport. The overall ICT sector (indigenous and multinational) may require as many as 89,590 new positions by 2030. The skills profile will be impacted by additional demand for AI and machine learning skills, network, cybersecurity and technological literacy. In calculating these growth figures, and noting the potential that some work will be automated by AI potentially reducing employment, the authors assume that any efficiencies will be supplemented by higher growth in the medium term. Indeed, while we have witnessed some disruption in the labour market with some job reductions attributed to improved productivity in the context of AI, in line with broader reports and historical trends, the analysis in the report assumes this will level out in the relatively short term. The report also suggests that attracting critical talent may pose a greater challenge to start-up and scaling companies that often lack the human resources capacity of larger firms. Sectoral level initiatives will be critical to upskilling, and bodies such as Skillnet Ireland and SOLAS are likely to play a key role in this regard. It also calls for additional inward diversity paths for the sector. Notwithstanding indicators of a strong commitment to inclusion and the empowerment of women, female employment in ICT remains relatively low. Ultimately, the report states that Ireland will be competing against other jurisdictions for skills talent and we must engage proactively to address this challenge. See more breaking stories here.

This month features a special double interview with Jim Pearce and Simon Gillett, who join Andy P in a Westcountry trio, to discuss Star Wars media in all its glorious formats - audio, visual, print and more. The podcast opens with a spooky pitch for Halloween fun in a galaxy far, far away, after which the lads discuss their latest pick-ups, and the Face-Off continues its global world tour. There's a cracking quiz from Jason, and in New Acquisitions, the team discusses a calculator clock ruler combo, a Mind Circus mug, an Omni Cosmetics display, some Tortuous diecast, and a flask from darkest Peru. Rebel Briefings brings together the latest stories from around the Star Wars universe, including more mail-order musings with Jerry Hancock, a Super See-Threepio, Spoons' Dortmund discussion, a packaging palaver, high value for Vader's saber, Paleetoys Bespin bonanza, and a web of dies. Licensee this month is the brilliantly named Kid Nap, an Irish company that made kids' bedroom furnishings, with a great - and little known - Star Wars range. All this mixed in with the standard jests, jokes and joshing! Find the podcast in all the usual places.

An early essay by Karl Marx writing at the beginning of the industrial revolution argued that humans who were formerly craftspeople were now just cogs in the industrial machine alienated from the products they made and their work. Today's podcast is sponsored by Inductive Automation, makers of Ignition — the world's most versatile industrial automation platform for connecting data, systems, and people. With the new Ignition 8.3 release, you can easily manage time-series and event data, quickly create custom graphics with onboard drawing tools, and centralize control using Ignition's new gateway interface with global search and deep link launching. Providing additional support for Git, containers, and private data protection to go along with its unlimited licensing, Ignition 8.3 takes industrial operations to the next level.

Lean guru Keven Meyer noted in his book Simple Leader that respect for people is a pillar of Lean. When you hire someone, you are getting more than a pair of hands—you are getting a brain and experience, as well. You should make use of them. Articles about a worker shortage due to Boomer retirements have been a staple of trade magazine editorial ever since I became an editor in 1998. Some twenty-seven years later, those articles and news releases keep coming. I learned about a new product from Derek Crager, Founder & CEO of Practical AI for onboarding and mentoring new employees. There is irony here, in that Crager touts himself as developer of an award-winning training program at Amazon—yes, the place that thinks it can replace its workers with robots. But, we will go beyond that thought for now. His solution? Just-in-time guidance—the right step at the exact moment of need, while hands are on the task. When a technician can ask and do in the same breath, training becomes throughput. That's the difference between teaching a concept and multiplying your best expert across every line and shift. He called on his experience at Amazon to develop something called Pocket Mentor: A Phone Call to Your Best Expert. This is a hands-free, eyes-free mentor your team reaches by phone, anytime, on the floor or in the field. No app. No Wi-Fi. No passwords. Just tap & say, “Talk me through it” — and we will.

//The Wire//2300Z October 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST CONTINUES IN IRELAND AS CENSORSHIP CRACKDOWN INTENSIFIES. ILLEGAL MIGRANT FROM INDIA CAUSES FATAL CRASH IN CALIFORNIA. MIGRANT WOES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continues as before. Following Israeli strikes in Lebanon a few days ago, more significant airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon overnight. Yesterday evening the Israeli Knesset voted to annex the West Bank, a move which has drawn slight criticism from the United States due to the war continuing to widen after the ceasefire was broken last week. SECSTATE Marco Rubio condemned this vote and VP Vance stated that Israel will not be allowed to annex the West Bank.Italy: A man was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a child from a stroller near the train station in Bologna. Local authorities state that the man, who is an illegal immigrant from Gambia, approached a family on the sidewalk and attempted to grab their newborn child from their stroller. After local citizens fought back against him, he fled the scene before being arrested later in an adjacent park. The suspect has not been identified due to allegedly being a juvenile, but locals did state that he was an asylum seeker living at the local migrant housing complex near the attack site.-HomeFront-California: The driver of a semi truck who caused a fatal pileup on I-10 yesterday has been arrested. Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was arrested on multiple counts after the crash, including DUI. 3x people were killed during the crash, and 4x others wounded.Analyst Comment: Singh was illegally in the United States after walking over the southern border in 2022. After being initially detained, he was released into society by Customs and Border Patrol due to the catch-and-release open-border policy at the time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Ireland, the situation remains as tense as expected. One of the major issues with discerning the truth regarding events on the ground is the now-infamous Online Safety Act, which has been adopted by the European Union as the Digital Services Act (DSA) This is more or less the EU copying Starmer's homework and bringing the Online Safety Act to most of Europe. The DSA and the local regulations put into effect by the Irish government (most notably the chairman of the media commission Jeremy Godfrey) have resulted in a lot of the footage of protest activity being banned from being seen from Irish IP addresses. Users on X for example, have noted that their content is banned from view in Ireland, even content that is benign in nature but related to protest activity. This means that either the Irish government and/or the European Commission itself has ordered X to remove certain content by flagging it as "adult content" and thus subject to the Digital Services Act.In other words, exactly what everyone thought would happen, has happened. And not only happened once, but has been industrialized. Content which makes government agencies look bad, or otherwise highlights the crimes of violent migrants gets flagged as "adult content" and therefore is subject to censorship via the Online Safety Act and requires a photo ID (or a digital ID) to see. Right now, there are probably a lot of people in Ireland that have no understanding of the scale of protests and demonstrations (or even what the issue is all about) due to this censorship. This has been made worse by other larger issues that have actually made it into the mainstream press.Yesterday, the family of Josef Puska was sentenced for their various roles in the murder of Ashling Murphy. These sentences have inflamed tensions once more due to the nature of the crime itself, and the systemic coverup of the incident. While walking on a hiking path back in 20

Topics covered : Grooming, childhood sexual abuse, shame, addiction, survival, recovery, therapy, healing, acting, Palestine, censorship, collective care, Andor.This is the second part of my conversation with multi award-winning Irish actor — and all-round gorgeous human — Denise Gough.In this episode, Denise speaks openly about the painful experiences of grooming and abuse in her childhood — experiences that led to her being homeless in London as a teenager, addicted to drugs and alcohol.Since getting sober at 27, she's gone on to thrive — both in her acting career and in life.She's an incredibly strong, open-hearted woman, and her story is one of survival, strength, and deep healing.If you haven't yet listened to Part 1, I really encourage you to go back and do so.You might also want to hear my conversations with Gabor and Daniel Maté, Róisín El Cherif, Farah Nabulsi, and Hala Sourani, as well as the episode I released in May with Jack Fitzgerald, where he speaks so bravely about surviving childhood sexual abuse.These stories aren't easy to hear, but they are necessary and they remind us of the strength of the human spirit.Book mentions:'Perfect Victims' (and the Politics of Appeal) by Mohammed El-Kurd'The Message' and 'Between the World and Me' by Ta-Nehisi CoatesIf you need support, please reach out — you are not alone, and help is available:One In FourSupport – Mental Health IrelandAnd if you're a fan of what I do, please follow, rate, and review Ready to Be Real wherever you listen.Míle buíochas, as always, for your support.
