This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. George Clooney's second feature - written with his producing partner Grant Heslov - was 2005's GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK, a dramatization of newsman Edward R. Murrow's brave stance against Senator Joe McCarthy's anticommunist witch hunt. Well, just against the witch hunt part. And we're not sure it was all that brave - listen and find out. Plus, obviously, we talk about how this all obviously reminds us of support for Gaza, and how Clooney doesn't seem to know that.

Welcome to the hotseat where Joe McCarthy sits with Sir Ronald Cohen, co-founder of Apax Partners, Chair of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment, and author of IMPACT.Sir Ronald is widely regarded as the father of both European venture capital and impact investing. He arrived in London as an 11-year-old refugee from Egypt speaking almost no English, made his way to Oxford and Harvard, and went on to build one of the defining venture and private equity firms of its generation before stepping away to devote himself to what he calls the impact revolution.His argument is simple and radical: governments are stretched, inequality is widening, and relying on taxation and philanthropy alone has failed. The answer is to redirect the trillions already moving through capital markets by measuring impact the way we measure profit. In this conversation he explains why 2026 is a watershed year for that idea, and how AI is changing what is possible.In this conversation, Sir Ronald and Joe discuss the following topics:Why optimising for impact is a route to superior returns, not a trade-offThe hidden risks of impact-blind investing: carbon taxes, consumer flight, and talentWhy carbon tax is the single lever that moves the dial on emissionsHow impact-weighted accounting turns tons of carbon and water into monetary valueThe 1929-to-GAAP parallel and why transparency built modern marketsWhat Harry Markowitz and the measurement of risk teach us about measuring impactWhether public market sustainable investing has any real additionalityMeasuring social impact: pay, representation, and the cost of unemployment to a communityWhere AI meets impact, from education at scale to the first AI-derived drugHow families and family offices should build impact at the portfolio levelGovernments shifting from funding inputs to paying for outcomesHis advice to a younger self: start young, think big, stick with it, and bring impact to itFollow us on:YouTube: @HighNetPurposeInstagram: @highnetpurposeTwitter: @HighNetPurposeLinkedIn: high-net-purposeConnect with Sir Ronald Cohen:LinkedIn: Sir Ronald CohenWebsite: sirronaldcohen.orgBooks: IMPACT: Reshaping Capitalism to Drive Real Change (2nd expanded edition, 2025), The Second Bounce of the Ball, ON IMPACT00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 02:33 Sir Ronald's Sense of Purpose 05:18 Refugee Roots and Early Life 06:44 Oxford Union and Learning to Speak Without Notes 09:14 From McKinsey to Founding Apax Partners 10:38 Building European Venture Capital from Scratch 11:48 Deciding to Leave Apax at 60 13:02 The Government Call That Started the Impact Mission 15:36 The Social Impact Bond - From Idea to Peterborough 17:57 Challenges and Surprises in the Impact Journey 20:03 Why Impact Is Not a Trade-Off for Returns 22:54 Carbon Tax as an Investor Risk 24:52 Consumer Preferences - Cycle vs Long-Term Trend 28:12 Impact Weighted Accounting - Origins and How It Works 33:24 From ESG 1.0 to Rigorous Impact Measurement 35:27 Additionality in Public Markets 38:10 Leaders and Laggards - Sector-Level Impact Transparency 41:36 How AI Is Unlocking Impact Data at Scale 44:00 Monetising Social Impact - Diversity Deficits and Employment 46:58 Impact Lenses Across the Whole Portfolio 51:06 Advice for Families and Entrepreneurs Deploying Capital 55:53 Where to Go for Reliable Impact Information 58:23 Governments, Outcomes Funds and the Systemic Shift 01:03:13 Advice to a Younger Self - and the Second Bounce of the Ball 01:04:07 How Sir Ronald Stays Energised 01:05:29 Closing ReflectionsThis podcast is prepared by Islandbridge Capital Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.All content on High Net Purpose is provided as general information only.

Leinster tore into the Ospreys with a ruthless 68–14 win at the Aviva, powered by Joe McCarthy's hat‑trick, a suffocating defensive press, and big returns for Jordan Larmour and James Lowe. Jeff is joined by Ciarán Duffy (Post to Post Sport) for cap number 47 to break down the performance, the selection calls, the defensive resurgence, and what it all means heading into the Champions Cup Final.We also take a spin around the URC — Munster clinching playoffs, Connacht's late push, Ulster's Challenge Cup wrinkle — plus Ireland Women's record-setting Aviva win.A full URC season rewind, a look ahead to Bordeaux, and plenty of Harpin flavour.Our guest…CIARÁN DUFFYPost to Post blogWhere to find Harpin' On Rugbyhttps://linktr.ee/harpinonrugbyCOMMENT, LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE

Two-time Pulitzer finalist on the scientist who won the Nobel Prize and may not be able to stop what he started.What if the person trying to make artificial intelligence safe is also one of the people racing to build it?In this episode of High Net Purpose, Joe McCarthy sits down with Sebastian Mallaby, bestselling author and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, whose latest book explores Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind and the quest for superintelligence.Over the course of the conversation, Sebastian unpacks the extraordinary story behind DeepMind: why it was built in London, how Demis held onto a mission formed in childhood, and why the race for AI sits at the intersection of science, ambition, safety and power.From AlphaGo's victory over Lee Sedol to the battle for AI safety oversight inside Google, this is a conversation about what happens when human purpose meets machine intelligence. It asks whether AI will deepen human potential, undermine it, or force us to redefine what purpose means altogether.Along the way, we explore the role of founders, family offices and capital allocators in a world where the technology changes faster than the rules around it.This is the story of the AI paradox, and the man trying to understand the people building the future.00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview02:31 Sebastian Mallaby on Purpose and His Career05:34 Diplomacy, Complexity and the Economist06:46 How Mallaby Gets Access to Exceptional People09:24 Research as Therapy: The 360 Method10:41 Finding the Central Paradox in Every Subject11:50 First Encounters with Demis Hassabis14:46 Hassabis as Authentic Entrepreneur: The 1993 Vision17:44 Mustafa Suleiman, Geoffrey Hinton and the Co-Founders19:48 Safety Baked In: DeepMind's Founding Tension22:22 Leaked Documents and the Fight with Sundar Pichai25:39 Can Governments Actually Control AI Risk?26:51 The Innovator's Dilemma and the ChatGPT Moment29:35 Hassabis as Leader: Science, Likability and Scale30:32 AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol and What It Revealed33:31 Human Purpose in an AI World35:19 Hassabis on Consciousness and the Meaning of Being Human36:18 AI Investment Framework for Capital Allocators39:27 Health, Writing Discipline and Final Advice Hosted on Acast.

America's present president is like those egos who feel entitled to carve their name into every park bench they sit on, apparently to “make their mark” and shout to the world, “I wuz here!”Indeed, Trump has demanded that our government patch his “Donald J. Trump” onto such public facilities as the Kennedy Center, the Institute of Peace, Dulles Airport, Penn Station, the Hudson Tunnel – and he might as well add the US Capitol since he treats Congress like his personal possession.Insecurity is what's driving his egomaniacal rebranding frenzy. As Trump candidly explains, “You've got to put your name on stuff or no one will remember you.”Oh, Donald, like the demagogic Joe McCarthy and other narcissistic politicos, you're destined to be long remembered… and mocked! Moreover, those vainglorious, gold-plated Trump nameplates you're tacking onto every public space will soon be unceremoniously stripped off and dumped into the trash bin of history.My friend, Fred Harris, a great populist senator from Oklahoma, told about the fickle nature of political fame. It was a true story about a governor who backed a boondoggle construction project after lobbyists promised to name the structure after him. They did, but as soon as the governor left office, his name was removed. Fred said if anyone ever dedicated a bridge or building to him, he wanted his name built into the structure itself, so if they later tried to remove his name, “the damned thing would fall down.”So don't despair that this president seems omnipresent. This too, will pass. Keep whacking at the autocratic, plutocratic structure of Trumpism – it's not built to withstand the winds time, much less the winds of democratic rebellion.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

3. Bunker 3: The Republican Insurgency and Robert Taft's Vision. Robert Taft championed an "Asia First" foreign policy while Joe McCarthy began hijacking the Republican agenda, transforming domestic political debates into a fierce anti-communist crusade. Guest: Nick Bunker.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 60: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Arizona Senate Republicans just introduced a measure to make ICE MANDATORY at polling places this November. Mandatory. At voting booths. This November. No - It won’t pass. This time. But this does dispel any MAGA crap that this isn't the goal, that rounding up immigrants isn't just practice. Happily, DHS and MAGA are too busy purging themselves. Maybe just as importantly: Does Trump look drawn and unnaturally thin in the face? Like, lost a lot of girth in the face - the kind of thing where people who don’t know say “you’ve lost a lot of weight, you look great” – except you don’t? Also he has just confused Harmeet Dhillon for Phyllis Diller. Standard stuff. But he made a different gaffe that you just can’t write off because it’s new. It’s not something stupid – it’s something he’s misplaced, mentally. The one Trump blunder that suggests he’s getting WORSE: The Penn Station post. AND HOW THE DEATH OF ROBERT DUVALL mainlines into the death of CBS News and the prophesy of Duvall's most important film: Network. Which you should go watch, today. B-Block (50:00) PART TWO of my list of the nearly two dozen destructive changes we are now suffering from, in television news and media in general, that we were warned by, by Paddy Chayefsky, by Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, Robert Duvall, and director Sidney Lumet. C-Block (1:10:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A little out of order, but still really good. Tom Emmer, Minnesota moron. Peter Navarro, economic consultant who doesn't know the Dow Jones number isn't in dollars. And the joy of Candace Owens, so lost she can't pronounce ordinary American English words like "Bureau" and "Grandiose" and as chronicled by one of the best of all Twitter-X follows: @CandaceReading1See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘Anti-communist​ dandy, scourge of Ivy League administrators, magazine chieftain, amanuensis to Joe McCarthy, father-confessor of the Nixon White House, Ronald Reagan consigliere: is it any wonder that William F. Buckley is still the patron saint of the American right?', Thomas Meaney asked in the LRB, reviewing Sam Tanenhaus's recent biography of the founder of National Review and host of 34 seasons of Firing Line.On this episode of the podcast, Meaney joins Thomas Jones to discuss Buckley's life and legacy: his proselytising for segregation at home and imperialism abroad, and how he laid the groundwork for Trump's path to the White House.

Dan Cole and Anthony Watson are at the EPCR launch day to talk to a stellar cast of rugby stars! Oh yeah, and we've got a podcast car... Henry Pollock joins the show to tell us about his whirlwind first year of rugby and how he's going to back it up this season. Trevor Nyakane gives us an insight into what it's really like to be in the middle of a Springbok scrum - featuring his signature shuffle! Joe McCarthy reveals the secrets of the British & Irish Lions tour as he aims to help turn Leinster from perennial finalists to champions of Europe. Ollie Lawrence is back from a brutal achilies injury that kept him out of a massive summer of rugby and is already tearing it up for Bath. Sale Sharks' new signing Jaques Vermeulen joins the show as we catch wind of a rumour that one of his teammates has got a George Ford Tattoo. Plus, former England captain turned Strictly Come Dancing phenomenon Chris Robshaw teaches us a few moves!

Rob Fredette interviews novelist Amanda Cockrell about her historical fiction " Are You or Have You Ever Been?" which explores the Hollywood blacklist, House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings, and the personal and professional fallout of McCarthy-era accusations. The episode covers real-life stories—Dalton Trumbo, Michael Wilson, and the Hollywood Ten—alongside Cockrell's dual-timeline novel set in Ojai, focusing on a star's ruined projects, a contested will, and parallels between 1950s blacklisting and today's political climate. Recorded September 19, 2025. https://www.amandacockrell.com Are You or Have You Ever Been?" is out December 2! My parents were screenwriters so this is a book close to my heart. For some background on the Hollywood blacklist see the section above, "About the Blacklist." Elizabeth Sydney's film career spanned the Golden Age of Hollywood and barely survived Sen. Joe McCarthy's infamous Red Scare hunt for Communists that produced a blacklist that shattered careers. Some of her costars and writer friends weren't so lucky. Now she wants to be buried in her back yard and the will is invalid if she doesn't get her way. A combustible assortment of industry friends, family, former lovers, a man no one has hitherto heard of, half a dozen charitable beneficiaries, and an ungovernable horde of media descend on the small California town where she retired and picked out a spot in her oak grove. As they try to break the will, her reasons begin to surface in the story of an old betrayal of friends by friends and by the country's own government.    

The conversation takes a sharp turn from sex toys to censorship when we react to the news of Jimmy Kimmel's show being "paused." We dive headfirst into a heated debate about free speech, corporate cowardice, the weaponization of the FCC, and the terrifying parallels to the Joe McCarthy era. It's a raw, unfiltered, and pissed-off look at the state of American media.

In the spirit of peace and reconciliation, Ben gives a shoutout to a Tribune editorial. “If Americans cannot speak without fear of being shot, then democracy is dead.” David Faris talks about Charlie Kirk's legacy. Was he the Jordan Klepper of the right? A modern day William F Buckley? A descendent of Joe McCarthy? Is being open minded a sign of political weakness? Do militants on the right believe in free speech for all? Or just for themselves? And more, including a few words about Ezra Klein…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recently Matt joined Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub of the excellent In Bed with the Right podcast to record what turned out to be two episodes about Roy Cohn—the "lawyer, closet case and ratfucker extraordinaire," as they describe him. These days Cohn is perhaps most infamous for being Donald Trump's lawyer and mentor, but this first episode focuses on Cohn's childhood and family life, his decisive role in the Rosenberg trial (especially their execution), and his time working with Sen. Joe McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare. After you listen, please head over to In Bed with the Right to check out the second episode on Cohn and hear the rest of his story.Sources:Nicholas von Hoffman, Citizen Cohn: The Life and Times of Roy Cohn (1988)Christopher M.
