Welcome to Daily Bitachon. We are now winding down Sha'ar HaBechina [The Gate of Reflection], looking at how we realize Hashem created the world, commit to serving Him, and ultimately learn to rely on Him. But never forget that the little bit we see with our physical eyes is just a fraction of reality; there is a much larger picture out there. The Zohar tells us about the existence of entirely different spiritual worlds. We have God's Kissei HaKavod —the Throne of Glory, so to speak—where we perceive His absolute control over the cosmos. Then we have the world of the angels, Olam HaMalachim , where the various holy hosts reside. Among them are angels who do nothing but constantly declare, " Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh ." The Zohar explains that from sunrise to sunset, they are continuously saying " Kadosh ," and from the moment the sun sets until it rises again, they say " Baruch kevod... " There are massive angelic forces up there constantly praising Hashem's Name! Yet, as great and powerful as these angels are, the Gemara in Tractate Chullin (91b) drops that unbelievable line: אין מלאכי השרת אוֹמְרִים שִׁירָה לְמַעְלָה עַד שֶׁיֹּאמְרוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמַטָּה "The ministering angels do not sing praise above until Israel sings below on earth." The angels cannot say Kedushah above until we, the Jewish people, initiate it down here. Think back to our mashal [parable] of the king: with all of his vast empire, the king right now is focused entirely on this one sweet bird. We are Hashem's children, and our voices are sweet to Him. As the verse says, " Hashmi'eni et kolech "—"Let Me hear your voice." If God is literally waiting to hear our voices before listening to the angels, and He has the boundless ability to feed all of those massive heavenly hosts, shouldn't we realize that we can completely rely on Him? The beauty of it is that this exact lesson is built right into our daily prayers. Everything is inside our tefillah . Rav Shlomo Wolbe once said that all the core fundamentals of Judaism are hidden right in our Siddur; we just have to open our eyes and find them. Take a look at how it flows. We start off the blessings before the morning Shema with the words: " Yotzer or u'vorei choshech "—"Who fashions light and creates darkness." We begin by talking about the physical universe and the orbital luminaries. But then, right in the middle of discussing the sun and the moon, we suddenly switch gears. We begin describing God as the Borei Kedoshim —the Fashioner of holy ministering servants. We launch into a breathtaking description of what these angels do: they stand at the summit of the universe and proclaim with awe, together loudly, the words of the living God and King of the universe. We describe them as beloved, flawless, mighty, and holy. They perform the will of their Maker with dread and reverence. They open their mouths in holiness, purity, and song, and they bless, praise, glorify, sanctify, revere, and declare the kingship of Hashem, the great, mighty, and awesome King. The prayer goes on to describe how they accept upon themselves the yoke of heavenly sovereignty from one another, granting permission to each other to sanctify the One who formed them. With tranquility, with clear articulation, and with sweetness, they all proclaim His holiness as one, saying with awe: " Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh... " Then the Ofanim and the Chayot HaKodesh respond with a thunderous noise: " Baruch kevod Hashem mi'mekomo "—"Blessed is the glory of Hashem from His place." Then, right after this intense depiction of the angelic choir, the Siddur switches gears back to the physical universe, concluding the blessing with: " Baruch Ata Hashem, yotzer ha'me'orot "—"Blessed are You Hashem, Creator of the luminaries." Did you ever notice that question? What in the world are angels doing right in the middle of a discussion about the sun, the moon, and the stars? It's a classic question. I was once told an answer in the name of Rabbi Eliyahu Lopian (which he passed on to Rav Wolbe): Hashem is telling us, "Let's learn from the angels." Look at how the angels proclaim God's kingship, and let's emulate them. In fact, there is a custom brought down by the Ben Ish Chai in the name of the great Ashkenazi Kabbalist, Rabbi Nathan Shapira of Krakow. He notes that before we step back and take our three steps forward for the Amidah , we give a slight nod of greeting to those around us. Why? To show signs of peace and friendship to each other, just like the angels do before they praise God. We want to act angelic as we approach prayer. We even hold our feet tightly together during the Amidah to emulate them. Before you emulate the angels, you have to see what they are about. They accept God's kingdom with love and harmony among themselves. That means we have to get along and be unified before we declare Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad . But there is a second answer to our question, based on the teachings of the Chafetz Chaim. When you talk about the creation of the world—about the sun and the moon—you might think that's the entire story. You look out with your physical eyes and think, "Okay, this is the extent of God's power." And then, if you look at this physical world and see havoc, chaos, and a world running completely wild, you panic and ask, "How can I rely on Him to fix this?" So the Siddur tells us to take a step back. Hold on. You see the sun and the moon? That is not the whole story. The reality is vastly greater. There are layers of angels up there praising God, who see the inner gears of the universe. And for all their immense greatness, they can't utter a single sound until we respond down here. Are you actually worried that the King can't take care of you? Look at how holy and significant we are. All of creation needs sustenance, and God sustains the angels too. The only difference is that we eat physical food and they eat spiritual food. But make no mistake: angels need nourishment. They don't just live on thin air. Nothing exists independently on its own strength except for God. The Tomer Devorah discusses this at length. Every time we do a mitzvah , we create a holy angel. If a person commits an aveira [sin], chas v'shalom , they create a destructive angel. Those angels require spiritual energy to survive. What do they "eat"? They live on the energy of our actions. And what did we eat when we were elevated? We ate the food of angels! How do we know this? King David writes in Tehillim (78:25): " Lechem abirim achal ish "—"Man ate the bread of the mighty ones." Tractate Yoma (75b) explicitly explains that this means the Jewish people literally ate the food of the ministering angels—the Manna—while traveling through the desert. In the wilderness, Hashem treated us exactly like He treats the angels. We didn't need coarse, physical food; we survived on pure spiritual light. Rabbi Eliyahu de Vidas writes in his classic work, Reshit Chochma ( Sha'ar HaKedushah , Chapter 15), that even today, there are elite talmidei chachamim [Torah scholars] who can live primarily on spiritual energy. He explains that this is why certain sages could go two or three days without eating a single thing—because the mazon haTorah (the spiritual nourishment of the Torah itself) kept them physically full. That is how Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his son survived in the cave for thirteen years. This brings us right back to the incredible historical account recorded by Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov in his introduction to Pe'at HaShulchan . He describes his master, the Vilna Gaon, and how radically little he ate. The Gaon ate only two tiny meals a day, taking a piece of dry bread no larger than a kezayit [the size of an olive], dipping it in water, and consuming it. That was it! And yet, Rabbi Yisrael records that the Gaon remained physically strong, resilient, and robust. Where did that physical strength come from? It came from the literal application of the verse: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by all that comes from the mouth of Hashem." The Torah itself became his physical fuel. Great tzaddikim tapped directly into that spiritual nourishment, which proves that God can sustain a person in the most wondrous, supernatural ways whenever He wills it. When you think about these concepts—about the sheer scale of God's power and His intimate love for us—how can you not place your ultimate trust in Him? With this profound realization, we officially conclude Sha'ar HaBechina and read the final, beautiful words of the Chovos HaLevavos : והאלהים ישימנו מאנשי עבודתו "May God place us among those who serve Him," המכירים עניני טובתו ברחמיו ובחסדיו אמן "who recognize the matters of His goodness, through His mercy and His kindness. Amen." נשלם השער השני — The second gate is now complete. אל אדני אקרא ויענני — "To Hashem I shall call out, and He will answer me." We see from here that when a person truly identifies God within creation, they are fully prepared to call out and be answered. That recognition is the ultimate runway for our daily Amidah . Now that we have journeyed through Sha'ar HaBechina , stop for a moment, absorb the greatness, and make that prayer. Mabruk and a massive Mazal Tov to all of us on completing this incredible journey of over 100 classes!

On November 12, 1998, twenty-three-year-old Katarzyna Zowada vanished in Krakow, Poland—a disappearance that would transform into one of modern horror history's most disturbing cases. Weeks later, a discovery on the Vistula River revealed forensic horror and unanswered questions that still haunt the city. Join Henrique as we explore the gaps, the inexplicable details, and the paranormal mystery behind one of Poland's most chilling unsolved murders.Inside this episode:• The disappearance of Katarzyna Zowada and the warning signs that were not treated urgently enough.• The horrifying Vistula River discovery that transformed a missing-person case into one of Poland's most infamous murders.• The forensic mystery surrounding the deliberate removal of skin and the questions it raised about the killer's knowledge, motive, and control.• The long cold case investigation, including Poland's Archiwum X, DNA testing, exhumation, 3D modeling, and renewed river searches.• The arrest, conviction, appeal, and 2024 acquittal of Robert J., and why the case remains legally unresolved.• The human story beneath the horror — Katarzyna as a daughter, student, and young woman whose identity should never be swallowed by the brutality of what was done to her.This is not just a story about one of Europe's most shocking true crime cases. It is a story about how grief lingers when the legal system cannot give a final answer. It is about the danger of confusing suspicion with proof. And it is about a river that gave back part of the truth — but not the killer's name.Katarzyna Zowada disappeared in 1998. Her remains surfaced in the Vistula in 1999. More than twenty-five years later, her murder is still waiting for justice.We're telling that story tonight.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá déag de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá Príomh-Aire na Ríochta Aontaithe Keir Starmer faoi bhrú i ndiaidh seachtain dhramatiúil inar éirigh roinnt airí as an gcomh-aireacht in Westminster, iad ag rá nach bhfuil muinín acu as. Bhí sé i gcruachás mar thoradh ar na toghcháin áitiúla i Sasana inar chaill Páirtí an Lucht Oibre beagnach 1,500 comhairleoir ar fud na tíre, níos mó ná 450 i Londain amháin. D'admhaigh Starmer gur ndearnadh botúin le linn a théarma go dtí seo, ach go leanfadh sé ar aghaidh mar cheannaire an pháirtí agus mar Phríomh-Aire mar sin féin, cé gurb iad Reform an páirtí is mó anois agus Nigel Farage faoi lán seoil go Sráid Downing, de réir cosúlachtaí. Ba é Wes Streeting an chéad iomaitheoir mór le héirí as Dé Céadaoin, agus d'fhógair an iar-Leas-Phriomh-Aire Angela Rayner Déardaoin go bhfuil a cuid fadhbanna cánach réitithe. Ceaptar go seasfaidh sí do cheannaireacht an pháirtí mura féidir le Méara Mhanchain Andy Burnham dul san iomaíocht. Níl cead ag éinne an cheannaireacht a bhaint amach gan a bheith ina fheisire ach dúirt Josh Simons tráthnóna Déardaoin go n-éireodh sé as a shuíochán le deis a thabhairt do Burnham i bhfothoghchán. Ainm eile a luaitear leis an bpost ná iar-cheannaire an pháirtí Ed Miliband, ach tá an chuma ar an scéal nach seasfaidh sé.Go cúrsaí ceoil anois, le píosa nuachta a bheidh spéisiúil do lucht éisteachta an amhránaí as Contae Lú, David Keenan.

A Journey Through Life and History: An Autobiographical Sketch by Radomysl Twardowski https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Through-Life-History-Autobiographical/dp/1964686091 https://www.linkedin.com/in/radomysl-twardowski-md-mba-793119213/ “…an evocative autobiographical exploration of personal growth, resilience, and cultural identity…a compelling read for those interested in autobiographical tales that blend historical context with personal reflection.” – Readers Favorite Radomysl Twardowski’s moving story of growing up in post-war Poland begins with early memories of walks around Krakow with his beloved Grandfather Karol. As it becomes clear to the young Rado that Poland’s history is rooted in Christianity, the solemn grandeur and religious atmosphere of places like Wawel Cathedral and other churches begin to have a profound impact on him. He would later be drawn to SSPX and Latin Mass, a subject of debate in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. After the rise of Solidarity in 1980 and the declaration of martial law in 1981, Rado leaves Poland for the US, where he graduates from medical school and practices cardiology for several years, eventually becoming a proponent for fitness and wellness. Woven throughout this gripping memoir set against the backdrop of dramatic political, religious, and newsworthy developments are the author’s stories of hardship and triumph over adversity-from a skiing injury at age twelve that left him with physical limitations to the dissolution of his marriage and a difficult separation from his children. Throughout this memorable journey through history, Twardowski offers us a deeply personal life story of exploration, loss, redemption, and survival.

The most interesting things I’ve ever done — the best conversations, the best podcasts, the best calls — they all required me to be confident enough to move forward, when the results were far from certain. Today I’m going to tell you something I just learned that can get that confidence up when you need it most. (Blog continues below video) Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

I’ve been selling used machine tools for 15 years in my family’s 80-year-old business. I still get anxious when strangers ask me what I do. Most people don’t know what a machine tool is, let alone a screw machine. Honestly, there are probably moments where I feel insecure about working with my dad. Several years ago, I started using what I call serendipity hooks when I introduce myself — loading my intro with enough different things that something will connect. I’ll say: “I sell used machine tools, but I also host a podcast, and I’m building a YouTube channel about serendipity, which doesn’t leave me much time, because I’ve also got a 4-year-old son who’s amazing.” Something in that list usually lands. But even with that trick, it really bothers me that the first thing on the list, selling machinery, the way I pay my mortgage, my family’s legacy, still doesn’t always come out confidently. And I think a lot of you know this feeling. Maybe you work in a machine shop and other people don’t get it right away when you tell them you’re a setup person or a machinist. You consider yourself a confident person. But that one simple question, “what do you do?” still trips you up. Two weeks ago at the Precision Machined Products Association Management Update conference, the first speaker is a guy named Ryan Avery. His talk is supposed to be about leadership, a topic I know is a weakness of mine, so I’m intrigued, if also a little daunted. Ryan grabs everyone from the get-go. He comes off the stage, walks right into the audience, and tells us we’re going to do an exercise about confidence and he needs a volunteer. I figure, if there’s ever a moment to work on my confidence, this is it. I raise my hand. Suddenly I’m up on stage. The exercise is simple. Ryan asks me to introduce myself to the audience twice. First while stepping backwards. Then while stepping forwards. Now, the PMPA conference is probably the easiest room in the world for me to do this. These are my people. But I want to make it a real test, so I decide to include the serendipity channel in my intro, something many of them might find strange, but hopefully intriguing. First try, stepping back: “Hi, I’m Noah Graff, I sell used machine tools, I host a podcast, and something about serendipity…” The words are fine. The delivery is so so. I know I can do better. Second try, I step forward. “My name is Noah. I sell used machine tools. And I’m passionate about serendipity.” They’re the same words, more or less. But stepping forward flips something in my brain. There’s actually research behind this. Psychologists call it embodied cognition. When you physically move toward something, it activates what they call an “approach mindset.” Your body tells your brain: we’re going in and you can do it. It reminds me of learning to play tennis. Stepping into the ball, not hitting off your back foot–It doesn’t just work mechanically. I think about my favorite shot, 2-handed backhand down the line, moving into the ball with authority. It just feels perfect. The rest of the conference, people keep coming up to me. Other attendees, even some of the other presenters wanting to talk. We end up having some good conversations about AI tools, hiring, all kinds of things. Of course, I still have many flashes of insecurity throughout the weekend. That night I go salsa dancing in Charlotte. There are some decent dancers, but nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve been dancing even longer than I’ve been selling machines. I’ve shaken it all over the world while doing business. Tokyo, Krakow, Rio, Grand Rapids. I’m confident and it’s an adventure. With dancing it’s hard to know how things are going to go. The experience of dancing with one person can give me such a high. It can be so fun. Then I dance with the next person, who looked like they would be a good dancer, but they give me bad vibes. They don’t smile, we’re not in sync, I start worrying that they’re bored. I can’t wait for that song to end. It’s the same that night in Charlotte as it was in Barcelona and Berlin and Bangkok. But the uncertainty is worth it–dancing with someone new, calling a customer you don’t know, sharing a new idea with a room full of people. You step forward anyway. Because certainty and confidence are not the same thing. Question: Does it ever make you anxious when someone asks what you do for a living? Why?

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after a busy week of action on the PDC ProTour!   The boys start off the show with a look back at the Poland Darts Open, the first PDC European Tour event to be held in Poland, and discuss how Luke Littler's title-winning campaign in Krakow compares to the best ever in European Tour history.   Aden Kirk (20:02) joins the show ahead of making his UK Open return in Minehead next weekend. The former PDC tour card holder looks back on his career in the game so far, from bursting onto the scene at the 2014 UK Open and beating Phil Taylor on his TV debut to then taking some time away from the sport to start a family, winning on the Challenge Tour in 2024, becoming a children's book author and winning through the PDC In The Community Qualifiers in Alfreton to secure a third appearance in The FA Cup of Darts next week.   Alex and Burton continue their review of the last seven days with a look back at this week's Players Championship double header in Leicester, which saw Ross Smith and Gerwyn Price win the titles, Andrew Gilding make a final and Beau Greaves throw the first nine-dart leg by a female player on the PDC ProTour.   James Beeton (53:57) calls in ahead of his UK Open debut in Minehead next week. The recently-crowned Scottish Open champion reflects on the last few years on the oche, from qualifying for Lakeside for the first time in 2024 and winning his first senior WDF title at the Denmark Open to having his best year to date on the Development Tour in 2025, qualifying for the UK Open for the first time and rising up the ranks in the WDF and making the quarter-finals at Lakeside last year.   The boys finish up the show with a look back at the 2026 PDC Development Tour opening weekend in Leicester and pick out the players who caught their eye, before discussing Mitchell Lawrie becoming the youngest WDF #1 at just 15 years and 110 days old and whether that record will ever be broken.   Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header in Wigan!   The boys start off the show with a look back at this week's ProTour action which saw Chris Dobey and Luke Humphries win their first titles of the season.   New PDC tour card holder Carl Sneyd (19:05) joins the show ahead of making his European Tour debut in Krakow this weekend. 'Bomber' chats through his journey in darts so far, from calling time on his rugby league playing days and picking up darts, rising through the ranks at a local level and then a breakthrough title on the Challenge Tour last year, which saw him earn multiple call ups to the PDC ProTour as a top-up player, before securing his first-ever PDC tour card at UK Q-School last month.   New PDC referee Owen Binks (56:13) calls in ahead of his PDC European Tour debut as a referee at the Poland Darts Open this weekend. Owen reflects on the last few years, from how a phone call from the legendary referee George Noble led to him becoming a regular referee on the MODUS Super Series, to learning how to be a spotter and earning a call up to spot for Sky Sports, and then taking on a new role as a PDC referee on stage this year following George's retirement last month.   Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

In this Here We Go episode of Tent Talk, Nancy records from Krakow, Poland as she enters a strong season of travel and prepares to open Oxford in Europe and the British Isles. With a sober awareness of what is at stake in this hour of history, she reflects on the inner press of sonship—how true maturity is not driven by personal ambition but compelled from within by the life of Christ. She speaks to faithfulness in obscurity, long-range obedience, and the willingness to quietly proceed when no one is watching, trusting that God is forming sons for the future. Nancy challenges listeners to reconsider how they respond when more is required of them. Drawing from Hebrews 12, she explores the difference between discipline and rejection, exposure and shame, and freedom versus preserved immaturity. Rather than resisting correction or deeper formation, she invites us to see God's discipline as proof of divine ownership and love. With so much at stake, this episode calls us to yield fully, mature deeply, and allow the Father to prepare us for the days ahead. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Krakow .  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. A few weeks ago, I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences.   Today, we will discuss Krakow, Poland, and when to admit you are not ready for a trip. We will discuss passports and then my travel mistakes. Get ready now, as we are starting.   The FAQ is:  Marcia, who recently returned from a solo trip to Antarctica, asked: "At what point does a destination become a bad match for my solo senior travel — and how do I admit that early?"    Answer: I emphasize empowerment. I permit you to change course, leave early, or say "this isn't for me" without framing it as failure. A destination isn't "wrong" because it challenges you — but it is wrong if it consistently drains your energy, confidence, or sense of safety. If you find yourself constantly anxious, overly fatigued, or forcing yourself to "push through," just listen to your mind or body. Changing plans, leaving early, or choosing a different destination next time is not failure — it's wisdom. The goal of solo travel isn't endurance; it's fulfillment. And knowing when to pivot is one of the strongest travel skills you can develop. In Amsterdam, I had to change my destination frequently, which was challenging, but I managed to do so. One day, when I had some flexibility in my schedule, I scheduled a massage. I searched for "massage near me" and was delighted with the results. Sometimes that's all it takes for a new perspective.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is to check your passport. That's right, take it out and open it up.   Do you have at least six months left on your passport? If not, you need to renew it.   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into passport documents and solo travel for women. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern..  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a multiple-part series. Today's special destination is Krakow, Poland   First, I'll talk about the things to see as a tourist, and then I'll share some 'off the regular' tourist ideas for you. It's interesting to learn that Poland is roughly the size of Texas. Historical tensions persist among Polish communities in neighboring Kazakhstan, Russia, and Germany. I've also heard about soldiers being sent from Siberia to Ukraine. The country underwent a significant change in 1989 when the Solidarity movement overthrew the socialist government. I reflected on the historical gravity of Auschwitz, where many lives were lost. Kraków, Poland, is one of Europe's most enchanting cities, renowned for its history, charm, and culture. Kraków offers a welcoming mix of walkable streets, accessible attractions, and heartfelt hospitality. Let's Explore the Old Town and Wawel Hill https://krakow.travel/en/55-krakow-main-market-square Start your morning in Rynek Główny, the Main Market Square — one of the largest medieval squares in Europe. It's mostly flat with smooth pathways, though some cobblestones can be tricky; use a slower pace or roll along the outer edges, which are more level, for those with mobility issues. In the center stands the Cloth Hall, filled with stalls selling amber jewelry, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. Elevators are available to reach the upper gallery, which houses the 19th-century Polish Art Museum. Nearby, the St. Mary's Basilica is famous for its hourly trumpet call from the tower. Inside, ramps and wide aisles make it accessible for most visitors. https://mariacki.com/en/   https://visitkrakow.com/kazimierz/   https://visitkrakow.com/guide-to-oskar-schindlers-enamel-factory-museum/     https://www.catholicapostolatecenter.org/blog/st-faustina-and-the-catholic-heritage-of-poland?   Travel Mistake to Avoid in Kraków included Eurail reservations.     Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

Listen now to Aaron's story about his journey to the Auschwitz death camp. Through your donations, Israel Team provided transportation, food, and lodging for a group of students and faculty to travel from Prague in the Czech Republic to Krakow, Poland for three days to tour Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Oscar Schindler's enamel works factory in which he saved the lives of over 1,200 Jewish people.

Sundance feature programmer Ania Trzebiatowska joins the show to talk about curation as craft, responsibility, and intuition. From her roots in Poland to running Krakow's Off Camera festival, working in acquisitions at Visit Films, and programming U.S. and world documentary features at Sundance, Ania reflects on how taste is formed and why being pleasantly surprised when viewing submissions still matters most.We discuss the realities filmmakers obsess over, including who you know, timing, marketplace “success,” and why Vimeo analytics do not tell the full story. Ania breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes at Sundance, how programmers balance limited slots with thousands of film submissions, and why being the right fit matters more than trends or agendas.She shares why festivals need balance between urgent, heavy films and work that is entertaining, humane, and emotionally alive. Drawing from examples like André Is an Idiot and Gleason, Ania explains how character-driven storytelling can carry even the most difficult subjects. Advice to filmmakers: do your research, be clear about what you are making, and remember that programmers are rooting for you, even when the answer might still be no.What Movies Are You Watching?

PREVIEW: Rail Sabotage in Poland, Quid Bono? Guest: Gregory Copley John Batchelor speaks with Gregory Copley about the amateur sabotage of a Polish rail line, which Poland blames on Russia, with Copley asking "who benefits" (qui bono), suggesting the easily repaired incident was political and symbolic, recalling the Nord Stream 2 sabotage, initially blamed on Russia but later linked to Ukraine, heightening paranoia about the conflict. 1895 KRAKOW

Savage speaks with Sean McNamara, a renowned Hollywood director, about his career and his latest film, Bau: Artist at War. McNamara has directed acclaimed films, including Soul Surfer, Reagan, and The Last Firefighter. Savage and Sean discuss Savage's role in the The Last Firefighter and behind-the-scenes from the set with Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammer. Sean shares his journey into Hollywood, reminiscing about his start as a paperboy at Disney and eventually working on major projects. The conversation delves deeply into Bau Artist at War, set during the Holocaust, telling the true love story of Joseph and Rebecca Bau in a concentration camp. Sean emphasizes the miracles and hope depicted in the film and how they resonate with contemporary issues. They also discuss the logistics and emotional challenges of filming in Krakow, the involvement of professional actors, and the impact of technological advancements on film production. Savage underscores the significance of seeing the film in theaters to support true stories of resilience and love.
