On this week's show we look at our favorite TV Series Finales from Network and Cable TV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: TCL Will Add Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to QD-Mini LED TVs Apple's smart home hub could reportedly make its debut later this year YouTube leads US TV viewing for 3rd consecutive month Top Series Finales of Network/Cable TV Shows Here is a rundown of our favorite TV Series Finales. What are your favorites? M*A*S*H – "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" (CBS, February 28, 1983)   This 2.5-hour finale remains the highest-rated scripted TV episode in U.S. history, with a 72% audience share. It masterfully blended comedy and drama, reflecting the show's tone. The Korean War ends, and the 4077th unit disbands, with emotional farewells like Hawkeye's helicopter spotting B.J.'s "GOODBYE" in stones.  The Sopranos - “Made in America” (HBO, June 10, 2007) The final episode leaves viewers with a cliffhanger that remains open to interpretation. Tony Soprano is at a diner with his family when the screen cuts to black as a suspicious-looking man glances at him. The ending doesn't explicitly confirm whether Tony is killed, but rather leaves the audience to wonder if he will continue to live under the threat of violence inherent to his mob life. The episode's iconic music, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," plays in the background, adding to the tension and suspense. The Mary Tyler Moore Show – "The Last Show" (CBS, March 19, 1977)   When WJM-TV's new owner fires the entire newsroom except the incompetent Ted Baxter, the team shares a tearful group hug, and Mary delivers a poignant monologue. Her final act of turning off the studio lights became an iconic TV trope.      Snowfall - “The Struggle” (FX, April 19, 2023) The Snowfall saga chronicled the origins and spread of crack cocaine in South Central and how it ultimately threw Los Angeles neighbourhoods into chaos. Anti-hero Franklin Saint, who we first met on a bright summer day full of promise and big dreams, ended the series on that same street hopeless, delusional and destitute. He was last seen wandering away from the house he bought for his mother - his final possession -  as officers from the L.A. Sheriff's Department swooped in to evict him over unpaid property taxes. Newhart – "The Last Newhart" (CBS, May 21, 1990)   This finale is legendary for its meta twist. After eight seasons of running  a Vermont inn, Dick Loudon  (Bob Newhart) is hit by a golf ball and wakes up as Dr. Bob Hartley from The Bob Newhart Show (1972–1978), next to his wife Emily (Suzanne Pleshette), revealing the entire series was a dream.   The Office - “Finale” (NBC, May 16, 2013) One year later, Dunder Mifflin employees past and present reunite for a panel discussion about the documentary and to attend Dwight and Angela's wedding.The episode features cameos and wraps up several character storylines, with characters attending the wedding and reflecting on their lives and experience. Pretty much everyone gets a happy ending - “That's what she said.” Asian Jim - The Office US Cheers – "One for the Road" (NBC, May 20, 1993)   Watched by over 80 million viewers, this 98-minute finale wrapped up the Sam-Diane romance with honesty. Diane (Shelley Long) returns, but instead of a fairy-tale ending, Sam chooses his bar—his true love—over rekindling their relationship. The final line, “Sorry, we're closed,” delivered to a late-night customer, symbolizes the show's end.   Justified - “The Promise” (FX, April 14, 2015) After five seasons of rivalry and dare we say friendship, Justified's sixth and final season saw Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens put his "nemesis" Boyd Crowder behind bars. But that isn't what made the finale so incredible. Aside from giving just about every character a bit of closure, there was one scene that we'll never forget: Raylan sitting across from Boyd in prison as he lies about Ava's death and then, when asked why he traveled long and far to deliver the news in person, he finally admitted the one thing viewers have always known - that Boyd isn't his enemy. Goggins then perfectly delivered the line that said everything about their relationship: "We dug coal together."  The Big Bang Theory – "The Stockholm Syndrome" (CBS, May 16, 2019)  Sheldon and Amy's Nobel win, paired with his heartfelt tribute to his friends, closed the sitcom with sentimentality and growth, though some felt it was overly tidy Friends – "The Last One" (NBC, May 6, 2004)   With 52.5 million viewers, this finale delivered closure for the six friends' arcs. Monica and Chandler move to the suburbs with their twins, Ross and Rachel reunite, and the group leaves Monica's apartment for the last time. It balanced humor, nostalgia, and emotional payoff without overstaying its welcome.    The Good Place – "Whenever You're Ready" (NBC, January 30, 2020)   This philosophical comedy concluded with the characters choosing when to leave their afterlife, reflecting the show's themes of morality and growth. Emotional farewells, especially Eleanor's influence on Chidi, resonated deeply, set against a hopeful yet bittersweet tone.  There is a really  good series twist at the end of season one as well. Which brings up the concept of season ending cliffhangers. Maybe for another show!

Rumor has it that the Federal Reserve was able to resist the president‘s demands to enable funding of the Korean War. However, a look at the record demonstrates conclusively that the Fed bowed to Harry Truman‘s wishes to do what it has done for a century: finance America‘s wars.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/did-fed-achieve-independence-during-korean-war

U.S. Army Corporal Frederick Carrino went missing nearly 75 years ago during the Korean War. He was only 18. His family recently welcomed his remains back to St. Louis with a special funeral service in his honor.

In any war, being taken prisoner is a traumatic experience, and the Korean War was no exception. In this episode, James discusses the experiences of Korean War POWs on both sides.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17 NLT) During the Korean War, a unit known as Baker Company was separated from its regiment, and enemy forces were advancing on it. For several hours, no word came from Baker Company. Finally, radio contact was made. When asked for a report of its situation, Baker Company replied, “The enemy is to the east of us. The enemy is to the west of us. The enemy is to the south of us. The enemy is to the north of us.” Then, after a brief pause, the voice continued, “And this time, we’re not going to let them escape.” Sometimes it seems that way in the life of a believer. The enemy is at every turn. Even so, some believers don’t realize that the Christian life is not a playground, but a battleground. They are oblivious to the fact that a war is raging—and that, in this war, they are either winning or losing. In a battle, it’s always better to be an aggressor instead of a defender. A defender is simply waiting for the enemy’s next attack, hoping he will survive. If we, as believers, are always defending, then the devil is in a superior position. If, on the other hand, we are the ones who are attacking, then we are in the superior position. When the apostle Paul wrote about the armor of God in Ephesians 6, he mentioned one offensive weapon: “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (verse 17 NLT). Make no mistake about it: There is authority and power in the Word of God. Matthew 4:1–11 tells the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. Three times the devil tried to get Jesus to do wrong. All three times Jesus countered his attack by quoting the Word of God. The result? “The devil went away” (verse 11 NLT). God’s Word keeps Satan from getting an advantageous battle position in our lives as well. For example, let’s say you’re feeling tempted to do something that you know is wrong. If your first instinct is to turn to 1 Corinthians 10:13 (“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure” NLT), you’ll remember that God stands ready to strengthen you and help you escape. And you’ll have the high ground in your battle with the devil. He will have no solid footing for his attack. That’s how you keep him off-balance: by immersing yourself in Scripture. The devil has nothing in his arsenal that can counter the Bible. God’s Word sticks. God’s Word breaks through. God’s Word impacts. When the enemy has you surrounded, keep him on the defensive with the Word of God. Reflection Question: How can you sharpen your spiritual battle skills using the Word of God?

Introducing Heinz Insu Fenkl's autobiographical novel [Memories of My Ghost Brother], we talk about the life of mixed-race children after the Korean War.

We welcome two people who have devoted themselves to educating the nation about the long Korean War and those who served and sacrificed for South Korea's freedom. The first is Susan Kee whose “Honoring Korean War Veterans” project has documented the stories of over 500 Korean War veterans and advocated for the families of those still MIA since the war. Joining Susan is Army Korean War veteran Ron Twentey, who served in Korea in 1955-1957. Ron grew up in a small farm community near Frederick, Maryland, and worked on local farms from the age of ten, performing hard labor without modern mechanized equipment. Earning 25 cents an hour, he gained an appreciation for the value of work. A strong childhood memory from 1944 was collecting milkweed pods for the war effort, which were used as a substitute for kapok in life jackets. This initiative made him feel like he was contributing to the war. During high school, Twentey watched the Korean War unfold. He was awarded a scholarship to the University of Maryland for his track and field abilities but was uncertain about his future. Ultimately, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army for three years, intending to return to school afterward. His military service began with basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, with the 101st Airborne Division. He then attended the Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, specializing in military drafting. Upon completing his training, Twentey and his entire class of 22 men were assigned to Korea. Departing from Seattle, Washington, on a troop ship, he arrived in Inchon after a 20-day journey. From there, they took an old steam train north toward the DMZ. Unaware of their exact destination, they were dropped off and left alone until a convoy of trucks transported them to a replacement tent compound. That night, local Korean boys raided the camp, stealing Army blankets and supplies—a common occurrence due to poverty and shortages following the war. The next day, Twentey was assigned to Headquarters, 24th Infantry Division, G-3 Combat Operations, south of Munsan-Ni. The division had recently returned from Japan to safeguard the DMZ following the Korean War armistice. The fragile peace was frequently challenged by North Korean infiltrators. Twentey served as an Infantry Operations Specialist and Platoon Sergeant, maintaining records of minefield locations above the Imjin River, overseeing maps in the bunker and mobile war rooms, and tracking U.S. and UN troop movements within the DMZ. His work was classified, reflecting the sensitive nature of operations at the time. Additionally, he was tasked with plotting potential nuclear targets throughout North Korea. Using the “Atomic Annie” cannon as a potential delivery method, his job required pinpointing key targets—a task so secretive that he was ordered to forget about it once completed. Twentey served in Korea for 16 months before returning to the U.S. and becoming an engineering instructor. After leaving the military, he worked as a draftsman, eventually transitioning into marketing and communications. His contributions highlight the intricate and often perilous roles played by soldiers in the Korean War and its aftermath, emphasizing the enduring challenges of peacekeeping in a volatile region.

Accused of the murder of his former lover, Korean War veteran Sam Monroe is forced to abandon his job as an assistant district attorney and fight to clear his name.Sam Monroe thought his steamy love affair with Manhattan socialite Laura Nielson was dead and buried, but when she didn't show up after unexpectedly calling him late at night and asking to meet, he decides to investigate. He finds her naked on her penthouse balcony, strangled, his dog tags wrapped around her neck. With a bull's-eye on his back as the prime suspect, Sam begins a search for the killer that reveals Laura's involvement with several men, some with ties to a well-known crime family.As circumstantial evidence mounts against him, the cops close in, especially a heavy-handed rogue patrolman carrying a grudge against Sam and looking for serious payback. Forced to operate in the shadows, he relies on the unofficial help of several coworkers in the DA's office and Debora Jean Ryan, a private investigator who offers to assist but has an agenda that she refuses to disclose. As they probe Laura's past looking for clues, they must also figure out Laura's mysterious trip out west, the death of a young man in New Jersey during her childhood, and who is making attempts on his life.From the crime-ridden precincts of Lower Manhattan, the mean streets of Spanish Harlem, and the lofty mansions along Millionaires' Row, Night in the City is classic crime noir fiction at its best that wonderfully evokes the vibrant world of 1950s New York. Michael McGarrity again proves himself to be one of the most accomplished writers of mysteries working today.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Did you know there might be life-changing benefits and financial advantages you're missing out on simply because you never asked, “What am I entitled to as a veteran?” In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg is joined by a very special guest—his father, Max Goldfarb. A Korean War veteran, practicing attorney of 67 years, and the self-proclaimed “King of Collection” in Florida, Max shares his journey navigating VA benefits, disability ratings, and advocating for himself and other vets. From his frontline experiences during the Korean War to receiving full VA disability and benefits, Max offers helpful advice for veterans who may not be aware of the support they're entitled to. Whether you're a veteran, have one in your family, or just love a story filled with wisdom, resilience, and humor, this episode is for you. What you'll learn in this episode: Why so many veterans, especially from older wars, are unaware of their full VA benefits Max's journey from Korean War frontlines to discovering and successfully claiming disability ratings (PTSD, tinnitus, and physical injury) How to navigate application forms, administrative appeals, and advocate-driven compensation increases Why you need legal advocates to boost disability ratings and win appeals, especially when records have been lost or destroyed Using disability status for property tax relief in Florida—step-by-step from partial to full exemption The VA hospital experience: Debunking myths with real positive reporting Funeral & Memorial Benefits: What military families should know Honor Flight: A special resource for veterans to visit D.C. war memorials (and why you should apply!) Practical tips for lawyers advising veteran clients: Filing VA claims, documenting experiences, and finding advocacy support Key Takeaways: Don't Assume Veterans Know Their Rights: Many older veterans, especially from earlier wars, aren't aware of the full spectrum of benefits available. Initiate the conversation. Encourage Clients to Apply (or Appeal): Disability claims can be filed (and retroactively increased) decades after discharge, even if service records have been lost. Use Advocates: Connect clients with dedicated veteran's advocates to maximize their claims—these professionals can make or break a complex case. Stay Resourceful: If crucial documentation is missing, alternative evidence (doctor's letters, witness statements) can still win the day. Leverage Local Laws: Understand and utilize state-specific tax exemptions and statutory advantages for disabled veterans. Stay in Touch With Real-World Impact: Inform clients about programs like Honor Flight and funeral benefits—they're deeply meaningful and legally relevant. Make Your Firm Veteran-Friendly: Share resources (like VA forms and advocate contacts) directly on your website or in client communications. Familiarize yourself with VA Form 21-526EZ for disability compensation and keep a list of trusted VA advocates for client referrals.

Larry Ostola speaks with Andrew Burtch about his book, Canada and the Korean War: Histories and Legacies of a Cold War Conflict. The Korean War was the first major conflict of the Cold War and Canada's most significant military engagement after the two world wars. Canada and the Korean War brings together leading scholars to examine key battles and themes of this pivotal yet often overlooked conflict. Before 1950, Canada had little interest in Korea, but the war's threat to postwar stability compelled its involvement. Between 1950 and 1953, over 30,000 Canadian military personnel served in Korea, and “peacetime” defence spending reached record levels. Fighting alongside U.S., local, and Commonwealth forces, Canadians faced a resourceful enemy across land, sea, and air. The eventual armistice left Korea divided and tensions unresolved. This timely collection blends Canadian and international perspectives, highlighting the war's impact on Canada's military and its evolving relationship with Korea. It also explores how the war has been remembered over time. Essential reading for scholars of military history, the Cold War, and Canadian foreign policy, this volume will also appeal to veterans, their families, and general readers interested in Canada's military past. Andrew Burtch is the Canadian War Museum's historian for the post-1945 period and an adjunct research professor in the Department of History at Carleton University. Tim Cook, CM, FRSC, is the chief historian and director of research at the Canadian War Museum. Image Credit: UBC Press If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

Rebecca Lemov (The Instability of Truth: Brainwashing, Mind Control, and Hyper-Persuasion) is a historian of science, author, and professor at Harvard. Rebecca joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the meet cute with her husband at the cafe where she was struggling to write her dissertation, how she fell under a romantic spell with anthropology as well as opioids, and the relationship between addiction and brainwashing. Rebecca and Dax talk about how Patty Hearst used brainwashing as a defense for her actions, why it's such an effective mind control tactic to strip someone of their name, and how Korean War soldiers' health and wellness bounce back after trauma hid evidence of their suffering. Rebecca explains the normalization of brutal torture training of troops, that cult leaders intuitively act out a guidebook of hierarchical dynamics of desire and power, and Facebook's experiment on emotional contagion as an example of soft brainwashing.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Of all interstate conflicts across the last two centuries, two-thirds have ended through negotiated agreement. Wartime diplomacy is thus commonly seen as a costless and mechanical process solely designed to end fighting. But as Dr. Eric Min argues in Words of War: Negotiation as a Tool of Conflict (Cornell University Press, 2025), that wartime negotiations are not just peacemaking tools. They are in fact a highly strategic activity that can also help states manage, fight, and potentially win wars. To demonstrate that wartime talk does more than simply end hostilities, Dr. Min distinguishes between two kinds of negotiations: sincere and insincere. Whereas sincere negotiations are good faith honest attempts to reach peace, insincere negotiations exploit diplomacy for some other purpose, such as currying gaining political support or remobilizing forces. Two factors determine whether and how belligerents will negotiate: the amount of pressure that outside parties can place on belligerents them to engage in diplomacy, and information obtained from fighting on the battlefield. Combining statistical and computational text analyses with qualitative case studies ranging from the War of the Roman Republic to the Korean War, Dr. Min shows that negotiations are more likely to occur with strong external pressures. A combination of such pressures and indeterminate battlefield activity, however, will most likely leads to insincere negotiations that may stoke fighting rather than end it. By revealing that diplomacy can sometimes be counterproductive to peace, Words of War compels us to rethink the assumption that it "cannot hurt" to promote diplomacy during war. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new 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.

Eric and Eliot discuss the most recent example of jackassery by the Trump Administration national security team which appears to have conducted a sensitive Principals Committee meeting on bombing the Houthis in Yemen over Signal, an unclassified commercial phone app. To discuss this and much more they also welcome Katie Stallard, the Senior Editor for Global Affairs for the New Statesman magazine in the UK. They discuss Katie's book Dancing on Bones: History and Power in China, North Korea and Russia (New York: Oxford University Press, 2022) and how authoritarian regimes have used the history of World War II (and in China and North Korea's case the Korean War) to shore up their legitimacy and to short circuit criticism. They discuss how, as the late Alexei Navalny suggested, the focus on the past is used to "displace thoughts about the future and questions about the present." They discuss how the interpretation of WWII has changed over the years to suit the needs and interests of the ruling clique in all these countries and the resonance of Vaclav Havel's observations that these regimes falsify everything the past, present and future and the only way to combat such mendacity is "living in truth." Finally, they discuss the disturbing resonances of these discussions about history that are now manifesting themselves in the United States.
