An interview with Sonia Purnell, author of Kingmaker. In the book, Purnell tells the secret history of Winston Churchill's daughter-in-law, Pamela Churchill Harriman, whose image as a vapid socialite masked her powerful influence on the world stage for five decades.

In this exclusive interview, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander reveals how he became the kingmaker behind Zohran Mamdani's shocking primary victory over Andrew Cuomo. While mainstream media missed the story, we dive deep into the political strategy that helped Mamdani defeat establishment candidates in the race for NYC mayor.Zohran Mamdani's upset victory on his way to possibly becoming the next New York City mayor may have come as a surprise to everyone except Brad Lander. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman, and Lander, the city's comptroller, cross-endorsed each other in NYC's ranked-choice primary voting system for the Democratic mayoral nominee. Mamdani and Lander found common ground in their progressive values and their mutual commitment to defeating the status quo in disgraced former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a billionaire-backed “Democrat” with multiple workplace s*xual harassment allegations in his rearview mirror. With Mamdani on his way to defeating scandal-plagued NYC Mayor Eric Adams and becoming the city's first Muslim and South Asian and Ugandan mayor, Lander is contemplating his next move.This week, Katelyn and Christine spoke at length with Lander about how he helped Mamdani overcome the Cuomo machine, his controversial ICE arrest and how it changed the primary race, and the political and media discourse over antisemitism after Mamdani's win. What is Lander's next move? Katelyn asks!Brad Lander breaks down the progressive cross-endorsement strategy that centrist politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams never saw coming. From behind-the-scenes political maneuvering to the future of NYC, this conversation exposes what traditional media won't tell you about New York City politics.Key Topics Covered:-How Brad Lander's endorsement strategy changed the NYC mayor race-Zohran Mamdani's path from outsider to primary winner-The political calculations that shocked Andrew Cuomo supporters-The Media's reaction to Zohran Mamdani's win in the NYC mayor race and the weaponization of antisemitism-Brad Lander's vision for New York City's political future post-Eric AdamsLinks:Follow Brad Lander on Bluesky: ‪@bradlander.bsky.social‬ and Instagram: @brad.landerNo, it is not misspelled.

As the country experiences strange financial anomalies only prevalent in economic downturns, we've decided to show you how to prepare for the worst while still expecting to turn a profit and grow your dental practice. We are joined once again by Dr. Roger Levin, Founder of Levin Group – the leading practice management and marketing consulting firm in dentistry – and he begins today's conversation with his thoughts on the current economic climate and how economic downturns have affected dentistry historically. Then, we discuss what dentists and surgeons should be hyper-aware of at this time of financial uncertainty, why uncertainty is the only guarantee, how financial pressure affects the way practices operate, and the undeniable importance of paying careful attention to your referral marketing program. We also unpack the three stages of success, what fee-for-service practices should be focusing on, how referral marketing helps boost ROI, and the upside of being optimistic amidst a recession. To end, Dr. Levin examines patient financing options, the correlation between staffing and economic turmoil, the dangers of cutting all expenses as a knee-jerk reaction (especially those that pertain to practice efficiency and staff morale), and why he's willing to fully reimburse your purchase if you don't like the books he recommends. Key Points From This Episode:Dr. Roger Levin explains how previous economic downturns have affected dentistry.Why uncertainty reigns in the current economic climate. What dentists and oral surgeons should expect and look out for during these uncertain times. How the economy affects practice behavior and protocols – more work for general dentists.Why surgeons need to maximize their referral marketing potential to stay ahead.The three stages: Achieving success, maintaining success, and protecting success. How fee-for-service practices fare in economic turmoil, and what they should be focusing on.  Strengthening relationships with referral doctors and how referral marketing boosts ROI. The upsides of recession and the role of optimism in succeeding in uncertain times. Unpacking doctor and patient behavior in economic unrest and how to avoid common pitfalls.    A quick look at patient financing options. How staffing and financial instability correlate. The dangers of the knee-jerk reaction to immediately cut all expenses; production vs profit. Dr. Levin's recommended books, and why he's willing to reimburse unsatisfactory purchases.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Roger Levin on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-levin-69ab744/ Levin Group, Inc. — https://levingroup.com/ Levin Group, Inc. on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@LevinGroupInc American Association of Orthodontists — https://education.aaoinfo.org/ Conquering Crisis — https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217182453-conquering-crisisThe 5 Types of Wealth — https://www.the5typesofwealth.com/  Kingmaker — https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203956642-kingmaker Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/

If you asked anyone, "What do you worship?" they'd probably give you one of two answers: "God (or a divine being)" or "nothing." Most people don't realize our lives are full of worship. While we may not physically bow down, our choices show our worship. When I do something for myself, I am bowing to myself in worship. Instead, Psalm 95 invites us to worship the Lord as King, Maker, and Shepherd.

In 2024, I had the idea to produce podcasts based on interviews from MerleFest, with the theme being a focus on both first-time performers and veterans. Combining two artists who made their debuts resulted in the episode “Rural Roots That Run Deep With Nick Shoulders and Adeem The Artist”, we followed that with two of the festival's mainstays in the episode “Jim Lauderdale, Donna the Buffalo and the Many Collaborations Of MerleFest”. It was great fun to compare and contrast artist experiences at the venerated event between newcomers and returning veterans, as well as dive into their stories and music along the way. This year, I picked up on the approach once again, interviewing bluegrass heroes Woody Platt and Buddy Melton in the episode that immediately precedes this one, titled “A New Team For Two Heavy Hitters Of Bluegrass: Woody Platt and Buddy Melton”. Now, we celebrate another MerleFest newcomer, Tami Neilson. Although she just made her first stop at the festival, she is no novice in the roots music scene, having grown up in a family band and having made records since 2008; I was all smiles when I saw her on the MerleFest lineup for 2025. Fun fact: when I sent in the request to feature Tami on this podcast, her publicist replied, “So just to be clear here — Tami is for Southern Songs & Stories? She is originally Canadian and lives in New Zealand so just checking!” I chuckled and replied, “Yes, that's correct. I break my own rules every so often. I've featured Ruen Brothers, Colin Hay and others over the years. New Zealand is south too right? ;-)”I spoke with Tami Neilson late at night, after her rousing Dance Tent performance, where she talked about her love of wide ranging musical journeys, her own journey to her adopted country of New Zealand, growing up in a family band and now bringing her sons on stage from time to time, playing the Grand Ole Opry and making music with greats like Willie Nelson, and a whole lot more. Tami Neilson playing her first of two sets at MerleFest on April 25, 2025.

Why do we know so little about Anne Neville, despite her significant role in history?Anne Neville led a life shaped by power, tragedy, and shifting allegiances. Daughter of the formidable Warwick the Kingmaker, Anne was widowed at 15 before marrying Richard, Duke of Gloucester - later Richard III. Crowned alongside him in a dazzling coronation, Anne's reign was brief and marred by heartbreak, especially after the death of her only son.Matt Lewis reflects on Anne Neville's life of resilience and sorrow - and the political and social dynamics of Medieval women in power - with historian Joanna Laynesmith.MoreA Voice for Richard IIIhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0KhcblgXYqBTqfMAaAG18uThe Wars of the Roses: Originshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3DHhrD90zRN0IppdA29QXkGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.

Three terms and a decisive majority under Stephen Harper. Erin O'Toole's leadership run — and subsequent castigation. Pierre Poilievre's meteoric ascendency to within striking distance of the country's top office.What do these things all have in common? Jenni Byrne, the longtime Conservative powerbroker running Poilievre's campaign, who has moved in the party's inner circles since first joining the Reform Party at age 16.Simon Lewsen recently profiled Byrne for Maclean's. He takes us through her biggest wins, her most crushing losses, and why her unwavering commitment to populist conservative principles has been her greatest strength — but may now have become one of the campaign's biggest liabilities.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

You've got to hand it to Winston Raymond Peters. On this his 80th birthday... he's jetting round the Pacific representing his country. Keeping us close to our friends in the region as China circles and America wanders. He's visited more than 40 countries since Luxon took over. The stamina. The discipline. The confidence. The work ethic... all things to be admired. Doesn't matter what side of politics you come from, hats off to you Winston. And Happy birthday. And what a contrasted pictures he paints in Parliament... One side of the house... draped in performative costume's... wearing badges and head pieces... and snapping their fingers... and doing TikTok videos.... And not bothering to learn the standing orders... Not bothering to turn up to work. Not bothering to engage in meaningful debate so that we might all get to a better place... you know... the essence of democracy. Winston is not perfect... he's flip-flopped and u-turned more times than you can count. He angered the right picking an inexperienced Labour party over the high-polling Bill English in 2017. Some will never forgive him for that. BUT. he's a man with a strategy. He's a man who doesn't mind hard work. He's a man whose politics you may not like, but who's character modern society cannot afford to lose or forget. He was born in 1945 - just a few weeks before Germany surrendered to the Allies in WWII. He's been in politics for nearly half a century. The Kingmaker... punching well above his weight in MMP system. In fact... a teacher of mine used to say the P in MMP was Peters. He's loves a bit of drama... he loves a fight... he's not above performative politics too, by the way.. remember the NO sign? Remember the Winebox inquiry? The donations sagas? BUT... and this is why kiwis keep giving him a chance... he takes seriously the things and people's he promised to represent... and he works day and night to get the political deals done to make them happen. The new generation of politicians should put their phones down, sign out of Instagram... and take a leaf out of Winston's diary... Happy Birthday, Winne P.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After disobeying God, Saul was rejected from being king and Samuel was told to go to Bethlehem and anoint a new king. The Lord asked Samuel how long he would continue grieving over Saul. Many people spend their lives grieving over what the Lord has rejected rather than trusting in what He still has planned. After 7 of Jesse's sons passed before Samuel, God rejected all of them. Though man often judges by the outward appearance, God sees the heart. People often spend more effort on the outside of their lives seeking man's approval rather than on their heart, seeking God's approval. Though young David was not invited to the anointing ceremony, he was the one God was seeking to be king. His ascension to the throne would hearken the coming of the final king who will never be replaced, Jesus Christ, the King of kings. Have you submitted your life to Him by faith?1 SAMUEL 16:1-31 SAMUEL 16:4-101 SAMUEL 16:11-13

Tap here to send us a message!King Herod stands as a stark warning of what happens when a person chooses to sit on the throne of their own life, determined to do whatever it takes to make themselves the king of their domain. His relentless pursuit of power is a mirror for each of us, showing the spiritual danger of letting our own desires and ambitions rule us, rather than submitting to God's authority. To follow Christ means rejecting the temptation to be our own ruler, surrendering every area of our lives to His control, and allowing Jesus alone to reign as the King.03/30/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Proverbs 21:1Proverbs 12:21Proverbs 22:6Acts 2:37-38Matthew 21:44Matthew 16:24-26

This mini episode is a clip from a recent roundtable Rod and I (Pete) had with David Beverley and Dr. Alphonso Monzo, as we each comment on the season we're in to get our house in order, spiritually and otherwise, and to build what God has called us to build. Dark days lay ahead, but perhaps God is giving us a window of time- a reprieve- to repent, to get right with Him, and to make the best use of the time for the days are evil.

Legendary Hip Hop Artist Xzibit came by the Cruz Show to talk about his new album Kingmaker. He also explained why he waited 12 years to make a new album & how he got Dr Dre to rap on a song. Xzibit also broke down the current state of hip hop & ageism in the genre. X also told a crazy Shrooms story & so much more. It's a great interview. Tap in.

In this episode, Bill goes deep with legendary rapper, producer, and entrepreneur Xzibit—shedding light on his childhood as a military brat, the discipline that shaped his hip hop journey, and the inspiration behind his new album, “Kingmaker.” Xzibit opens up about chasing creative ambition while staying true to himself in an ever-shifting hip hop landscape, shares thoughts on social media's addictive pull, and hip hop rivalries. He also reveals the hilarious story behind his fight scene with Jennifer Aniston in “Derailed,” complete with Brad Pitt lurking awkwardly in the background, and Bill recounts how one of Xzibit's iconic lyrics made its way onto “Politically Correct” —a testament to Xzibit's impact on both music and pop culture.

Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra. Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, politics, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman's rightful place at the heart of history. 1963 Harriman and Acheson

Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra. Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, politics, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman's rightful place at the heart of history. 1945 Trumman  Cabinet including Averell Harriman, Secretary of Commerce
