On this month's update episode we have so much to talk about, as it's Three Ravens Haunting Season once again!Back for our fourth annual month-long celebration of original ghost stories and all things spooky a weird, we run down what's coming from us across October, including a brand new Spenser & Associates Mystery, our amazing guests for Local Legends this month (now including Joanne Harris!), we announce the winners of this year's Ghost Story Writing Competition, and also open up the Three Ravens Pumpkin Carving Competition!Before all that though, we grab our spades and dig into the loamy earth of Halloween folklore. Taking a different approach to our previous two special episodes on the subject, we dig into the specifics of how Christianity changed views and practices related to the shift from the Light Half to the Dark Half of the year. There's chat about ghosts, of course, but also the origin of the idea of "the veil being thin" around Hallowmas, divinatory customs for the season, and more. We also include some of our own news, chat about our upcoming spooky Live Shows surrounding the launch of our second book Three Ravens Ghost Tales which was literally published today, and share the opening chunks of September's two Three Ravens Patreon Exclusive episodes.First comes the opening 20 minutes of our exploration of Rowan Tree folklore for our ongoing series Nine Sacred Trees. This is then followed by the first part of our Film Club episode all about witch-tastic, Soviet-era folk fever dream Viy from 1967.Note: We have recorded a new Haunting Season theme song variation but haven't had time to quite finish it. Should be ready for Saturday!About Three Ravens
Timmy Rough, Frontmann und Songwriter der German-Hard-Rock-Band The New Roses, ist zu Gast im ROCK ANTENNE Podcast! Im Interview spricht er über die Entstehung der neuen Single „Saints and Sinners“ – von der ursprünglichen Akustik-Ballade hin zur mitreißenden Stadion-Hymne. Außerdem gibt er Einblicke in die Arbeiten am kommenden Album, erklärt das Erfolgsgeheimnis ihrer puristischen Live-Shows ohne Effekthascherei und blickt auf prägende Momente seiner Musikkarriere zurück.
This is it! Months ago, the America's Got Talent (AGT) on-air team (Judges Howie Mandel, Mel B, Sofia Vergara, and franchise creator Simon Cowell) began their twenty-first search for their next $1 million champion. After 14 Golden Buzzers, heartbreaking eliminations, and shocking results, we have our ten finalists! This is the most diverse set of finalists that we have seen in years! We have two dog acts (Acro Canine Crew and Olivia Befus), three dance acts (Come Here, Royal Lasers, and Unitree), an aerialist (Veronika Goroshkova), two magic acts (Geno Ploeger and Hundred Fingers), and two singers (Lai Noelle and Nene Royal). I am also proud to say that SIX of the TEN finalists (Acro Canine Crew, Geno, Hundred Fingers, Nene, Royal Lasers, and Veronika) were Jake's AGT Take's Acts to Watch for Season 21!Before we get to the final, there are two pieces of AGT breaking news that we need to get to... First, Britain's Got Talent judge and social media superstar KSI stepped in for Simon, and second, TMZ reported that the long-running talent competition is among the shows leaving Hollywood. The entertainment news outlet reported that producers are looking into moving production to Georgia once Season 21 wraps. Despite four seasons on the East Coast, AGT has spent a majority of its run in the Golden State.Tonight, they performed one final time for America's votes! Which acts rose to the occasion and are one step closer to joining Terry Fator, Mat Franco, Grace VanderWaal, Shin Lim, Kodi Lee, Brandon Leake, the Mayyas, and Jessica Sanchez in the Winners' Circle? Listen on to find out!Due to a previous obligation, this is the last Jake's AGT Take episode dedicated to the Season 21 Live Shows. Thank you to everyone for listening!

In this episode of Skip the Queue, Andy Povey is joined by Anna Warnecke, CEO of Kynren in Bishop Auckland - an attraction that doesn't really look like anything else in the UK.Kynren began in 2016 as an open-air night show telling 2,000 years of English history on a seven-and-a-half-acre stage, performed by a cast and crew of a thousand local volunteers, and built as part of a wider mission to regenerate a County Durham market town.This July, it went a step further and opened Kynren - The Storied Lands, a daytime park built entirely around live shows and immersive experiences rather than rides.They talk about what changes when your product is performance rather than throughput, what an experience-led attraction can teach a traditional operated site, and what the first few weeks of a brand new park have really been like.This episode is part of Skip the Queue's mini-series celebrating 90 years of BALPPA, looking at the people and businesses shaping the UK attractions industry.

This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Kevin Warsh raising interest rates when Trump appointed him to cut them, and why a rate hike can't do a thing about: record diesel prices, the war in Iran, or an economy already flirting with stagflation (not necessarily in that order). The Supreme Court keeps the Postal Service's mail ballot rule on hold through the midterms, with Thomas and Alito still on board (because of course) and a whistleblower alleging the USPS built the system anyway. Jared predicts November is headed for a mess no matter what the courts say. Speaking of a mess, Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate looking a lot like Grandpa at the dinner table in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which Jared and Nick see as proof of a machine that grinds the humanity out of everyone who serves it. A new report that JD Vance tried to advise the Clinton campaign in 2016 shows exactly who he is: a striver (on a couch) with no principles who could just as easily have ended up a Democrat, and Hillary's own 9/11 essay in The Atlantic proves the striver class is bipartisan (good times). In What We're Watching, Nick catches The Odyssey a second time to get ready for his trip, and Jared is slowly working through For Whom the Bell Tolls and finally watched season one of The Rehearsal. Nick is off to Greece for two weeks, so Jared will hold down the fort until he's back in October.
Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Dario Amodei's call to slow down AI development and why we should be worried when both Sam Altman and Elon Musk agree with him. Donald Trump responded that the whole thing is a sick conspiracy because, of course he did. They work through who actually benefits when an industry starts begging to be regulated, why a bubble this size might need to become a national security emergency to survive, and what it means that the quickest way to get what you want is to frighten people out of thinking. Then the Middle East, where the Houthis took Mayun island and closed the Red Sea route that was supposed to be the answer to the Strait of Hormuz, while drones launched out of Iraq and tore up the East-West pipeline . From there, the BRICS nations met in New Delhi and called for a multipolar world while Donald Trump blames Volodymyr Zelensky for diesel prices: good times. They make the case that the alternative order arriving now isn't better, only newer, and that the United States has spent the past year assembling it on the other side's behalf.

This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the question running through the whole episode: who knew what, and what were they willing to ignore? Nick wonders whether the conspiracy theories are the attack's real legacy, while Jared argues the distrust behind them was earned by generations of leaders and that the true winner of the war on terror was the class that profited from it, a point Nick drives home with Palantir's founding date. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's release of 170,000 pages shows the Giuliani administration knew the air around Ground Zero wasn't safe while telling people it was, and successive mayors kept the records locked away, which Jared chalks up to honor among thieves. A new book reports that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by the UAE and Egypt ten days before October 7th and never told his own security chiefs, which makes his "they didn't wake me up" defense look even worse. Then it's off to the half-empty GOP midterm convention in Dallas, where Trump promised every adult $5,000 if Republicans keep Congress, a pledge Nick holds up against 18 U.S.C. 600, and John Fetterman sent a video endorsing Dave McCormick that Jared is convinced took several takes. On what we're watching, Nick shrugs his way through Ted Lasso's unnecessary new season and gives Lanterns a lukewarm endorsement, while Jared recommends the horror film It Ends, grinds through For Whom the Bell Tolls, and cannot let go of a commercial VHS tape getting taped over on The Paper.
Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Germany, where Alternative für Deutschland just took over 43 percent in Saxony-Anhalt and the famous firewall is starting to look less like a wall and more like a formality. The guys get into why decades of neoliberal austerity left the far right as the only people making anybody an offer, and why the conservatives currently swearing they'd never work with the AfD are exactly the people history says eventually will. Then it's Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two private citizens holding no position in the United States government, flying to Moscow to tell Vladimir Putin that his retirement stories are going to be the best ones in the room. Back stateside, the Fifth Circuit informed the residents of Jackson, Mississippi that there's no constitutional right to clean drinking water and no right to truthful information from officials during a public health crisis, which does raise the question of what anybody is paying taxes for. And to close it out, Third Way took fifty million dollars and came back with a twenty point New Economic Bargain featuring federally backed used car loans, because if you can't afford a house you're going to need somewhere to sleep.

Jesse welcomes JB and Rob back to Set Lusting Bruce to discuss their return to podcasting and the relaunch of Bruce Springsteen Sings the Alphabet. JB shares updates on life in North Georgia, while Rob explains his transition from pastor to banker during COVID, personal struggles, and how reconnecting with JB revived their creative spark. They outline the show's new format: covering Springsteen album-by-album (collections included) in alphabetical order while discussing tracks in sequence, breaking up Tracks by recording sessions, and adding occasional mini-series, with “Episode Zero” planned for September 4 and the first new episode on September 7 starting with American Beauty. The conversation also touches on adult friendships, tracking media, the film Sinners, mixed reactions to Delivery From Nowhere, Springsteen's activism, and shared music interests including Jason Isbell and Brandi Carlile. - https://alphabeticalspringsteen.substack.com/ - @alphabeticalspringsteen on instagram - And in your podcast catcher/apple podcasts. 00:00 Welcome to the Show 00:39 Meet JB and Rob 02:42 Rob's Career Pivot 04:40 Friendship Needs Projects 06:55 Sinners Movie Detour 10:56 Bruce as a Poet 12:52 Where the Podcast Went 17:33 Reboot Plan and Schedule 19:00 New Format Explained 25:12 Can You Go Home Again 28:15 Delivery From Nowhere Review 38:19 Missing the Mic Moments 41:45 Backstage Isbell Story 42:38 Live Shows and Covers 44:00 Brandi Carlile Vocal Magic 44:56 Tracking Movies and Books 46:41 Missing Ministry Work 51:46 Odyssey and Flower Moon 53:22 Isbell Divorce Parasocial Talk 01:01:30 Bruce Career Parallels 01:07:30 Therapy Ending and Nitpicks 01:09:05 Where to Find the Show 01:14:19 Austin Show and Politics 01:16:54 Obama Center Chicago Trip 01:19:53 Final Thanks and Signoff Learn more about your ad choices.

Nach der kleinen Sommerpause und der Sachsen-Anhalt-Staffel gibt es wie immer unser EXTRA: Zeno, Lisa und Shaggy blicken zurück auf sechs spannende Fälle, außergewöhnliche Geschichten und besondere Momente der vergangenen Staffel. Und natürlich sprechen sie auch über das vergangene SOMMERSPECIAL 2026, das am 18. Juli in der Orangerie in Fulda stattfand. Zu Gast ist heute erneut Prof. Gerhard Schmelz, der diesmal im Gespräch mit Lisa einen besonderen Blick auf das Thema „Polizistenmorde“ wirft. Außerdem begrüßen wir Alexander Nau, der seit Jahren die Liveshows von MÖRDERISCH HEIMAT von technischer Seite aus begleitet und einen Einblick hinter den Kulissen gibt. Aber was euch natürlich am meisten interessiert: In welches Bundesland verschlägt es MÖRDERISCHE HEIMAT als Nächstes?
Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the Iran war flaring back up after a month of quiet, with new strikes exchanged, a missile wiping out a base in Jordan, and Trump posting AI-generated videos of Kharg Island being obliterated while the real military runs out of interceptors. Meanwhile, leaked Pentagon documents reveal six four-star generals filed formal dissent against extending the campaign, and Defense Secretary Hegseth's response to the worst military crisis in a generation is to start visiting Iowa and South Carolina for a 2028 presidential run. They trace the Venezuela oil grab for what it is: the U.S. overthrew a government, installed a puppet, and that puppet just signed over 100 years of oil rights to an unnamed private company while 80% of Venezuelan households live in poverty. From there they connect the collapsing food supply, where blueberries are killing people and Trump is deregulating meat processing live on Glenn Beck's radio show, to the Project 2025 blueprint that laid all of this out in black and white. They close on Jim Clyburn going on Meet the Press to announce that impeachment is not a Democratic priority, which tells you everything about why Hakeem Jeffries was meeting with Jared Kushner last week: the captured resistance has no plans and no platform two months before the midterms.

Hosts Brian McWilliams, John Odermatt, and Lou Perez open by mourning the recent passings of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, celebrating their legendary careers and cultural impact. The main discussion dives into AOC's controversial decision to rejoin the Democratic Socialists of America after years of not paying dues, with the hosts debating the DSA's extreme policy goals and the irony of wealthy "nepo baby" socialists railing against the very capitalism that built their comfortable lives. The conversation shifts to the Lindsay Clancy case, where the hosts criticize both left-wing and right-wing commentators for deflecting personal accountability onto pharmaceutical companies. Florida's first-in-the-nation crackdown on welfare abuse — restricting EBT spending on tattoos, vapes, and theme parks — gets a lively breakdown. The episode closes with a deep dive into college football's NIL chaos, a Penn State fraternity cocaine ring, and announcements for upcoming live shows.

Last week, America's Got Talent (AGT) started its live portion of Season 21!Fan favorites such as Luke Taleno and Royal Lasers rose to the occasion and were sent through to the Season 21 semifinals. Former standouts such as Ashford Sanders, Cris Sosa, James & Marina, and the Jesse White Tumbling Team fell to the pressure. Recently, multiple media outlets, including Parade & TMZ, reported that Simon Cowell has stepped away from the NBC talent competition due to routine back surgery linked to his 2020 bike accident. Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar sends our best wishes to the Got Talent creator and hopes for a successful surgery and a safe recovery. Tonight, 11 more acts took the Pasadena Civic Auditorium stage to perform for America's votes. Which performers stood out? Who received the second Live Golden Buzzer of the Season and will join two-time Golden Buzzer recipient Hundred Fingers in the Season 21 Live Finale?

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman unpack the real reason Hakeem Jeffries sat down with Jared Kushner, and it has nothing to do with subpoenas or tough talk. The meeting is a preview of the bipartisan coalition that always forms before an economic crisis: corporate Democrats and Republicans getting on the same page to protect the donor class when the bailouts start. From there they trace the collapsing Canada trade deal, where Trump invoked a 1930s tariff law no president has ever used and Carney walked away from the table, into the bond market panic that sent Treasury Secretary Bessent scrambling with a buyback intervention that lasted exactly one day before the market shrugged it off. Bessent's answer to $40 trillion in debt and interest payments that now exceed military spending? 'We'll grow our way out,' the same promise Republicans have made after every tax cut since Reagan, and it's never once been true. They also dig into ICE's new $20 million purchase of electric shock gloves already being used on students in Omaha public schools, a device designed to leave no marks and no record, built by a man who believes Trump was anointed by God.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes writer and musician David Starkey to Set Listing Bruce to discuss Starkey's book On Track: Bruce Springsteen 1973–1987, Every Album, Every Song and his lifelong relationship to Springsteen's recorded work. Starkey shares how growing up between Sacramento and summers in Beaumont shaped his musical tastes, from Johnny Cash and Aerosmith to discovering Springsteen via Greetings and being captivated by Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. They talk about the current tour, its political tone, Tom Morello's guitar work, ticket prices, and setlist debates. Starkey explains his writing process, what he learned by re-listening (especially the importance of piano), and why 1987 marks an era's end. The conversation also touches on poetry vs. lyrics, Starkey's interview series The Creative Community, upcoming projects, and the “Mary question” from Thunder Road. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Bruce-Springsteen-1973-1987/David-Starkey/On-Track/9781789524710 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meeting David 02:03 Early Music Obsessions 03:44 Family Sounds and Travel 06:59 Johnny Cash Tangent 09:04 Finding Springsteen 10:03 Live Shows and Politics 13:54 Ticket Prices Debate 14:28 Writing and Poetry 18:08 Why This Bruce Book 20:05 Born in the USA Memories 22:14 Researching the Albums 23:53 Why Stop at 1987 25:43 Concert Banter Debate 26:59 River Tour Pacing 27:55 Writing More Personally 29:33 Hot Takes On Songs 30:51 Family Discovers Nebraska 32:06 Biopic Who Is It For 34:35 Bruce Creative Evolution 36:46 Never Repeating Himself 39:41 His Interview Show Origins 41:09 Next Books And Memoir 44:12 Where To Find The Book 45:54 Final Thanks And Signoff 46:24 Podcast Housekeeping Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're discussing every album by British punk band Rudimentary Peni. While technically considered anarcho punk, RP was far stranger and musically unpredictable--a direction spearheaded by singer/guitarist Nick Blinko.

Das Klima in der SPD ist eines der Extreme: Während das Verhältnis der Partei zum Koalitionspartner CDU den Gefrierpunkt erreicht hat, heizt sich an der Basis die Stimmung gegen die eigene Parteiführung auf. Da werden Brandbriefe an Lars Klingbeil und Bärbel Bas geschrieben, ein Sonderparteitag gefordert, und ein inhaltlicher wie personeller Neustart. Noch halten sich namhafte Sozialdemokraten zurück. Aber niemand in der SPD will seine Hand dafür ins Feuer legen, dass nach den ostdeutschen Landtagswahlen im Herbst Klingbeil und Bas noch Parteivorsitzende sind. Welche Szenarien in der SPD für einen Wechsel an der Parteispitze kursieren und welche Fantasien damit verbunden sind, darüber sprechen Dagmar Rosenfeld und Robin Alexander in dieser Folge von Machtwechsel. –––– Die nächste Folge Machtwechsel gibt es Mittwoch, 26.

Jared Yates Sexton is out of pocket this week, so co-host Nick Hauselman is joined by University of La Verne political science professor Jason Neidleman to break down the latest in the Iran quagmire as the 60-day MOU expires with no deal in sight. Trump threatened to "bomb the shit out of" Oman because it had the audacity to negotiate shipping lanes with Iran without giving the US a cut. Jason argues Iran has decided to squeeze Trump until the end of his term as a deterrent to whoever comes next, and that the war was lost the moment it began. They dig into Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that officials are actively discussing dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran. Jon Ossoff's Atlanta rally speech made him the first federal elected Democrat to name Natalie Harp publicly and all but accuse the president of an affair. And Todd Blanche's Meet the Press appearance saw him flat out refuse to pledge DOJ independence from the White House, which lands differently next to a leaked July 30 call where he promised religious leaders he'd make the Dobbs decision "permanent in every single state." They close on the deteriorating conditions aboard the USS Lincoln, where sailors are running out of basic supplies and Trump's response was "no, not nearly long enough."

They pull apart what that says about Trump's cowardice, Israel's ability to manipulate the administration, and the Secret Service's ongoing institutional failure. From there, they break down the Wisconsin Democratic primary, where Francesca Hong lost to David Crowley by 3,000 votes after corporate media spent weeks framing the race around Thanksgiving tweets and Hassan Piker instead of actual policy, while a $15 million centrist operation quietly bankrolls opposition research against every leftist candidate in the country. The Lakers sale to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion gets the full treatment as a case study in oligarchical consolidation under a corrupt administration, with Kushner now sitting on the board of A24 and reviving Life magazine while private equity moves into the Yankees. They close on Caroline Leavitt's resignation and the pointlessness of Ted Lasso season four.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes writer and musician David Starkey to Set Listing Bruce to discuss Starkey's book On Track: Bruce Springsteen 1973–1987, Every Album, Every Song and his lifelong relationship to Springsteen's recorded work. Starkey shares how growing up between Sacramento and summers in Beaumont shaped his musical tastes, from Johnny Cash and Aerosmith to discovering Springsteen via Greetings and being captivated by Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. They talk about the current tour, its political tone, Tom Morello's guitar work, ticket prices, and setlist debates. Starkey explains his writing process, what he learned by re-listening (especially the importance of piano), and why 1987 marks an era's end. The conversation also touches on poetry vs. lyrics, Starkey's interview series The Creative Community, upcoming projects, and the “Mary question” from Thunder Road. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Bruce-Springsteen-1973-1987/David-Starkey/On-Track/9781789524710 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meeting David 02:03 Early Music Obsessions 03:44 Family Sounds and Travel 06:59 Johnny Cash Tangent 09:04 Finding Springsteen 10:03 Live Shows and Politics 13:54 Ticket Prices Debate 14:28 Writing and Poetry 18:08 Why This Bruce Book 20:05 Born in the USA Memories 22:14 Researching the Albums 23:53 Why Stop at 1987 25:43 Concert Banter Debate 26:59 River Tour Pacing 27:55 Writing More Personally 29:33 Hot Takes On Songs 30:51 Family Discovers Nebraska 32:06 Biopic Who Is It For 34:35 Bruce Creative Evolution 36:46 Never Repeating Himself 39:41 His Interview Show Origins 41:09 Next Books And Memoir 44:12 Where To Find The Book 45:54 Final Thanks And Signoff 46:24 Podcast Housekeeping Learn more about your ad choices.

Nach den Geschehnissen auf Ceuta hat sich auch in Deutschland erneut eine Debatte über die Flüchtlingspolitik entfacht. Die Bilder treffen hierzulande auf die Erfahrungen von 2015 und auf eine AfD, die sich diese Erfahrungen zunutze macht. Bundesweit liegt die Partei seit längerem in den Umfragen vorn, bei den anstehenden Landtagswahlen in Ostdeutschland hat sie beste Chancen, stärkste Kraft zu werden. Doch politische Erfolge lassen sich nicht nur in Prozentpunkten messen. Es gibt noch einen anderen Maßstab. Welcher das ist und warum die AfD trotz ihrer zunehmenden inneren Radikalisierung weiter an Zustimmung gewinnt, darum geht es in dieser Folge von Machtwechsel. Zuvor blicken Dagmar Rosenfeld und Robin Alexander auf die Steuerreformpläne des Bundesfinanzministers, die in der Union für Ärger sorgen. Aber ist dieser Ärger tatsächlich berechtigt? –––– Machtwechsel live in Hamburg: Am 1. Oktober 2026 diskutieren Dagmar Rosenfeld und Robin Alexander im Kleinen Saal der Elbphilharmonie.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the Iran war officially entering quagmire territory, with refineries and tankers getting hit at will while the US has essentially run out of missiles to respond with. They then tear apart Scott Bessent's solution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, which is to just build underground pipelines and make it irrelevant, a fantasy on par with nuking hurricanes. Todd Blanch gets confirmed as attorney general on the deciding vote of Bill Cassidy, the same man who voted to convict Trump and now can't swallow shit fast enough for him, while Susan Collins pulls her signature move of discovering her conscience only after the votes are already locked. They bid a fond farewell to Ross Douthat, whose 17 years at the New York Times were spent giving conservatives permission to drift further right under the guise of just asking questions. Now he's leaving one of the most influential posts in American media for a cratering 60 Minutes because Bari Weiss told him he'd be a star. The episode closes on Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA, a bad-faith stunt that reveals less about trans athletes than about the right-wing compulsion to hijack anything women build and make it about themselves.

Die ostdeutschen CDU-Ministerpräsidenten stellen sich gegen den Reformkurs der CDU-geführten Bundesregierung. Ihr Widerstand gegen die Abschaffung der Rente mit 63 bringt nicht nur die Rentenreform ins Wanken, sondern auch Kanzler Friedrich Merz in Schwierigkeiten. Denn die Einigung in der schwarz-roten Koalition sollte eigentlich beweisen, dass diese Bundesregierung einigungs- und handlungsfähig ist. Doch genau das steht nun wieder in Frage. Über Widerstand und Widerwillen im Osten und die Folgen für Kanzler und Koalition geht es in dieser Folge von Machtwechsel. Zuvor sprechen Dagmar Rosenfeld und Robin Alexander über die Geschehnisse auf dem Leipziger Flughafen und die Frage, warum der Bundesinnenminister es vermeidet, den Namen „Russland“ zu nennen. –––– Machtwechsel live in Hamburg: Am 1.

America's Got Talent (AGT) brought an element fans have been missing for ages – the Middle Round.The middle round not only introduced acts who would be competing for America's votes, but also gave multiple acts the chance to present themselves in front of the judges (and their guests) one final time if they were undecided. From the Vegas Rounds to the Judge Cuts, AGT's Middle Round created unforgettable moments. For Season 21, judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara each selected six acts to see one more time to determine if they were going to the live shows. This week, Simon Cowell and Mel B invited their six acts to their houses, and they brought with them – three iconic mentors, former X Factor USA alum Normani and producer Poo Bear (Simon), and Baby Spice herself – Emma Bunton (Mel B)! Which acts rose to the occasion and were awarded a spot in the Season 21 Live Shows? Listen on to find out! Next week, Howie & Sofia invite their six acts for the second round of Judge Callbacks!

Es waren keine Wünsche, sondern Forderungen: Nach dem Ansturm auf die spanische Exklave Ceuta wandten sich 22 europäische Staats- und Regierungschefs mit einem Brief an die EU-Kommission. Angesichts der Lage verlangten sie eine außerordentliche Konferenz der Innenminister. Ihr Begehren wurde erfüllt: Am Dienstag tagten die Innenminister. Der Brief der 22 enthielt nicht nur Forderungen, sondern auch Kritik – und zwar an der spanischen Regierung. Allerdings gab es nicht nur eine Fassung des Schreibens. Um die Entstehungsgeschichte eines Briefes, der als Signal der Härte gegen irreguläre Migration gemeint war, dann aber zum Symbol der Uneinigkeit Europas wurde, geht es in dieser Folge von Machtwechsel. Dagmar Rosenfeld und Robin Alexander sprechen über den Umgang der Bundesregierung mit den Geschehnissen in Ceuta, die Rolle des Kanzlers – und über das Agieren einer politischen Mitte, die zur Getriebenen der Wirkmacht von Bildern geworden ist. –––– Machtwechsel live in Hamburg: Am 1.

This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode every Friday, plus special Live Shows and our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman start with a war that keeps getting bigger while almost nobody covers it. Ukraine put a missile into an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea, an Egyptian port took a suspected Iranian drone, Iran-backed militias in Iraq are making noise, and China has a shipment of missiles headed for Tehran. Laura Loomer turned up in a room with Volodymyr Zelensky, preaching MAGA solidarity with Ukraine, which is not something that happens by accident. Jared makes the case that nobody in this administration is steering. The people who are don't hold office and don't care whose flag wins. Then Anthony Fauci in front of Rand Paul's committee, pleading the Fifth over a hundred times while his lawyer gets hauled off the floor. Jared and Nick get into why he's the test case and not the target, who the real target is, and why building bobbleheads of public servants was always going to end this way. Finally, the number that radicalized Jared: Americans put $166 billion into sports gambling last year, more than they spent on movies, books, art and museums combined. He wants it abolished. Nick ran those ads on the other side of his business and is still paying for it. What we're watching: Nick says The Invite is the funniest thing he's seen in years and to see it with a crowd. Jared finally caught Backrooms and can't recommend it enough.

They break down what Jared calls one of the most consequential and openly authoritarian speeches an American president has ever given, delivered by a man who can barely read the Stephen Miller script in front of him. The speech claimed China compromised over 200 million voter profiles, that a deep state hid it all from Trump, that Barack Obama personally handled burn bags full of evidence, and that 280,000 noncitizens are on the voter rolls, with WhiteHouse.gov supposedly holding the proof. Nick actually went and checked. The site was down, and when it loaded there was not a single document. The pair walk through why none of this is really about 2020, and everything about building a permission structure to rig the 2026 midterms and beyond, how intelligence agencies purged of anyone competent now feed Trump whatever he wants to hear, and why the echoes of Iraq War cherry-picking should worry everyone. It closes on the media trap where even networks that refused to air the speech will now repeat its claims for months. What we're watching: Nick is working through A History of Violence, the Cronenberg film written by friend of the pod Josh Olson, and enjoying the Viggo Mortensen slow-burn. Jared put on the newish Superman and found it a case study in how wall-to-wall James Gunn quipping drains every scene of tension, though Lois Lane comes out looking great.
Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the death of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who came back from Ukraine feeling unwell, skipped medical treatment to go do Meet the Press, and then died at 71. They argue over the legacy: whether Graham was blackmailed into MAGA or was simply a weak, attention-hungry climber who traded his soul for a seat at the club, plus the parade of Democrats falling over themselves to mourn a man who spent a career pushing wars. From there it's the Mitch McConnell proof-of-life photo, the internet hunting for clues in an Adidas logo, and the darker truth underneath the conspiracy talk: a geriatric political class clinging to power long past the point of elder abuse. Then the New York Times bombshell that Israel recruited former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an intelligence asset and planned to install him after toppling the regime, a plan that fell apart when the Revolutionary Guard caught on. It closes on Trump gutting the Election Assistance Commission down to zero members while teasing a primetime speech about 2020, and why November may not be free or fair.

Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode, plus special Live Shows and the community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open with the collapse of Graham Plattner's Senate run in Maine, and the ugly 11-minute video where the presumed nominee blamed powerful forces instead of taking any responsibility. They dig into what his exit means for the seat, why Susan Collins built her whole strategy around scandal, and the bigger trap facing anyone who tries to carry a genuine class-based movement without getting torched by their own party. From there it's Trump's corruption-mobile, the Qatari jet he abandoned for the old Air Force One over security worries, plus his NATO summit bullying and an instant-classic reference to the Islamic Republic of Japan. Then the main event: Mitch McConnell has been missing for nearly a month, and the pair work through whether he is convalescing, on life support, or being kept afloat by suspiciously identical 20-minute phone calls that his allies keep claiming to have. There is an August 3rd deadline, a Kentucky seat in the balance, and a wife who is somehow still in China. It closes with Mr. Beast admitting he hid GoPros in Walmarts to spy on his own crumbling candy bars, which is either a business story or one more sign the whole country is quietly coming apart.
Three-time Olympian Becky Downie is here and opens up about the difficult years between Tokyo and Paris, why she never officially retired after the Olympics, recovering from multiple surgeries and two Achilles ruptures, competing without a permanent gym or coach, and why she believes British Gymnastics has finally begun to change. We also discuss the future of uneven bars, athlete autonomy, trauma-informed coaching, and the equipment issue Becky says is holding back bar specialists around the world.

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the Graham Plattner Senate campaign finally hitting the wall it was always speeding toward, and neither of them pretends to be surprised. They walk through the accusation that dropped hours before recording, why the red flags were flying for months, and whether Janet Mills can salvage the Maine seat from Susan Collins without dragging the stink along. Then it's on to America's 250th birthday, a flyover-heavy festival of military hardware and stolen riches with a banking trail that runs straight to Trump's personal checking account. Trump also phoned FIFA to un-red-card his way to a better World Cup match, which somehow loops back to Christopher Steele, bribery, and the reliably rotten heart of the beautiful game. It all comes back to the sting of realizing you've been conned: the sudden fall of Freddy the German soccer fan, Michael Cohen angling to be the next Rush Limbaugh, and every "resistance" grifter who turned out to be in it for the money. Plus a check-in on Mitch McConnell's convalescence, and the mystery of why his wife suddenly needed to be in China.
