In 2014, falconer and author Helen MacDonald wrote a book about overcoming the sudden loss of her father, respected photojournalist Alasdair MacDonald by training a goshawk. The book has been turned into a film starring Claire Foy (The Crown), who MacDonald believes did a fantastic job in the role. "It's an incredible performance. She really does just haunt me, and there are times when I was watching it for the first time that I'd see her come on screen and I would think that's me," she told Francesca Rudkin.

In this week's episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with Nathan MacDonald about the origins of Israel's priesthood, the role of the Levites, and why the Bible's accounts of priests are far more complex than they first appear. They explore how biblical texts often function less as straightforward historical records and more as theological interpretations that seek to explain, shape, and reconcile Israel's traditions. Together, they invite listeners to reconsider familiar assumptions about the priesthood, the development of the Torah, and how the Bible constructs meaning through its ongoing conversation with its own past.

Today the Church recognizes the exceptional men, women, and even children who accepted the ultimate sacrifice for the Christian faith in China between the years of 1648 and 1930. Their story could be said to have started in the 600's when monks arrived in China from Syria. Unfortunately, these monks not only carried silk to be traded with the Chinese people, but also the Nestorian heresy which denies the divinity of Christ. The Chinese emperor welcomed the monks and permitted them to share their faith. Over the next couple of centuries, churches were built and converts were made. Persecutions began in the 8th century, however, until almost all the Nestorian Christians were vanguished. The Spanish Dominican priest, Fr. Francisco de Capillas, arrived in China in the mid-1600's after spending twenty years in the Philippines. He was successful in winning over many converts and started a lay order of Dominicans. The tolerant Ming Dynasty was then replaced by the Qing Dynasty and persecutions began again in earnest. Fr. De Capillas was arrested for “teaching false doctrine” and opposing the new emperor. He was beheaded while praying the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary in 1647. Persecutions settled down after Fr. de Capillas' death, but that changed in 1707 when the Pope Clement XI issued a decree forbidding ancestor worship. The Emperor used this as an excuse to expel all Christian priests, confiscate church lands, and close all churches. By the end of the 18th century, there were only one hundred thousand Christians left in the country and they had to practice their faith in secret. Fr. Augustine Zhao Rong, whose name is attached to today's memorial, was a Chinese soldier ordered to accompany a French Bishop, John Gabriel Turin Dufresse, to his imprisonment and martyrdom. Zhao Rong was impressed with the Bishop's gentle demeanor and courage. Upon the completion of his duty, he asked to be baptized. He progressed in the faith until he was the first native Chinese to be ordained a priest. Fr. Augustine was later arrested, tortured, and died of his injuries in prison. Other persecutions followed, the worst during the Boxer Revolution in 1900, which produced eighty-six martyrs including many religious sisters, priests, catechists, and other laity. The final two martyrs honored today died in 1930. In his canonization homily, Pope John Paul II said: Today the Church is grateful to her Lord, who blesses her and bathes her in light with the radiant holiness of these sons and daughters of China… Young Ann Wang, a 14-year-old, withstood the threats of the torturers who invited her to apostatize. Ready for her beheading, she declared with a radiant face: “The door of heaven is open to all,” three times murmuring: “Jesus.” And 18-year-old Chi Zhuzi, cried out fearlessly to those who had just cut off his right arm and were preparing to flay him alive: “Every piece of my flesh, every drop of my blood will tell you that I am Christian.” May our prayers join the prayers of our Christian brothers and sisters in China as they continue to inspire new converts to the faith. St. Augustine Zhao Rong and Companions, pray for us. Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Canada Day is more than flags and fireworks. It is a reminder that this country was not inevitable. It was imagined into being by people who chose union over drift and compromise over collapse. My guest is JDM Stewart, author of The Prime Ministers: Canada's Leaders and the Nation They Shaped. James brings history to life by showing us Canada's prime ministers not as saints or villains, but as flawed, ambitious, and consequential leaders who shaped the country we inherited. We talk about Macdonald, Laurier, Borden, Mackenzie King, Pearson, Louis St. Laurent, the two Trudeaus, Quebec, Western alienation, sovereignty, and why too many young Canadians know more about American presidents than the leaders who built, bruised, defended, and reimagined Canada. This is not a history lesson. It is a Canada Day wake-up call. If we don't know how Canada was made, how can we understand what is at risk? I close the show with my thoughts on what Canada and Canadians must do for us to remain strong and free. To purchase J.D.M. Stewart's book: https://a.co/d/09mFoxzX

Layering classic tropes of the mystery genre with a clever modern satire of the publishing industry, The Ending Writes Itself is the debut novel of "Evelyn Clarke," a new writing collaboration between best-selling authors V.E. Schwab and Cat Clarke. Joined in conversation by local author and journalist Moira Macdonald, Schwab and Clarke explore their co-authoring venture and the twists and turns that await readers in their new take on a locked-room mystery thriller. How will the pages unfold for the six authors isolated with nothing but their own minds, a diabolical deadline, and a plot-driving incentive? Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. World-renowned best-selling novelist Arthur Fletch is a reclusive genius who captivates readers with iconic protagonists and fiendish twists. So when six struggling authors of different genres receive an invitation to spend a weekend on his private island off the coast of Scotland, they pack their bags. But the twists have gone further than ever this time, and the authors are greeted with a shocking secret– Arthur Fletch is dead… and his highly-anticipated last novel remains unfinished. Desperate to publish, Fletch's agent and editor have summoned these writers hoping one of them can pen a worthy ending. To sweeten the deal, they pitch them the opportunity of a lifetime. Ghost write the final chapter and win an irresistible prize– a mind-boggling sum of money and a partnership that could relaunch their own careers and guarantee future bestsellers. And with that to motivate them, surely 72 hours is enough time to finish Fletch's magnus opus? All they have to do is write… V.E. Schwab is the critically acclaimed author of over 20 books spanning middle-grade, young adult, and adult fiction. Her previous publications include the Villains and Shades of Magic series, as well as standalone novels The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and most recently, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. Her work has been featured by outlets including the New York Times, the Guardian, and Entertainment Weekly, and has been translated into more than a dozen languages. Cat Clarke is an author and screenwriter. She previously worked as an editor at Scholastic UK. Her previous writing projects include the novels Entangled, The Lost and Found, Girlhood, and We Are Young, as well as the film Something in the Water. Moira Macdonald is the longtime arts critic for The Seattle Times.

What did C.S. Lewis mean when he said that George MacDonald's Phantastes "baptized my imagination"? Meredith Finch is the writer of the new graphic novel adaptation of Phantastes from Cave Pictures Publishing. We discuss the unique challenge of adapting a dreamlike and deeply symbolic novel into a visual medium, the meaning behind some of MacDonald's most memorable images and episodes, and why this strange fairy tale still speaks to modern readers.
An exuberant, behind-the-scenes look at the designers and the company that brought us Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and so much more, illuminating Nintendo's singular ethos, its massive cultural impact, and the innovative solutions behind its creative triumphsWhat magical mushroom could have turned an unassuming playing card company into one of the dominant cultural forces of the twenty-first century?In Super Nintendo, lifelong gamer and a renowned video games journalist Keza MacDonald traces Nintendo back to its quirky beginnings in 1889. Leaping from game to game, she tells the remarkable story of the people who brought us Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and more—not to mention the SNES, N64, Game Boy, Wii, Switch, and a host of other wacky gizmos—and charts the delights they've offered over the decades. MacDonald draws on private interviews with icons like Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, who continues to leave his stamp on the company, and takes readers on a trip to the secretive Nintendo HQ—making her one of the few Western journalists to have set foot inside the building. Along the way, she provides a close-up look at the company's willingness to take risks and place long-term success over short-term profits.A carousel of wonders, Super Nintendo whisks you back to the couch in the den, a controller in your hands for the very first time, staring up at a screen of infinite possibilities.
In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with author and policy expert Heather Mac Donald to break down the real drivers behind America’s homelessness crisis, rising urban disorder, and shifting crime trends. Drawing on her latest analysis, Mac Donald argues that homelessness is not simply an economic issue—but a policy choice fueled by ideology, weak enforcement, and government mismanagement. The two also dive into the role of sanctuary cities, illegal immigration, and the broader cultural shift away from law and order. Plus, they unpack: Why homelessness is surging in major cities The role of mental illness, addiction, and public policy How crime data is reported—and what it may be missing Whether political leadership is driving changes in crime trends Why voters continue to support policies that critics say worsen conditions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The ocean produces about half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs roughly 30% of the carbon dioxide we emit, and takes up about 90% of the excess heat those emissions trap, according to the United Nations. It is the planet's largest life-support system — and also its least-funded one. Of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, the goal for life below water consistently draws the least money. Canada, which has the longest coastline in the world, is trying to flip that equation, and you can watch it happen close to real time.Our guest this week is Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, a national, industry-led effort to grow what's come to be called the blue economy. Under her leadership, the Supercluster has grown into a community of roughly 1,000 members co-investing in more than 150 projects. She came to the role after 25 years at Deloitte, where she served as Chief Audit Executive, and she runs it from St. John's, Newfoundland. The model is built on co-investment: at least two companies put money in, often alongside Indigenous communities, researchers, and global corporations, so no single player carries the risk alone. The projects range from graphene hull coatings that cut a ship's fuel use to wave-powered desalination and the $4.4 million Membertou Electric Lobster Boat, billed as Canada's first zero-emission commercial fishing vessel, led by the Membertou First Nation.Kendra's thesis fits in seven words: you can go faster alone, but farther together. In our conversation, she's candid about where that gets hard — most of these collaborations are small companies that don't individually hold every capability, and the upfront work of sorting out who owns which piece of intellectual property is what separates the partnerships that succeed from the ones that stall. She's just as candid about the catch: the Supercluster is funded by the Government of Canada to de-risk small Canadian firms, and when those firms succeed, they're often acquired by international buyers — the value-capture problem at the heart of every public innovation program. That tension between strong science and thin capital, she says, keeps her up at night, and it points back to the blue-finance gap. It also shapes how she talks about aquaculture, which in 2022 surpassed wild capture as the world's main source of farmed aquatic animals, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and is now the fastest-growing source of animal protein. Kendra rejects the idea that ocean health and productivity are in trade-off, arguing that a healthier ocean is more productive. And just before we recorded, the Trump administration reopened nearly half a million square miles of the Pacific to commercial fishing, the third such rollback in little more than a year. One model treats the ocean as a commons to protect and co-invest in; the other treats marine protection as an obstacle to clear. Kendra thinks the contrast opens a door for Canada to lead.To learn more about the Ocean Supercluster, visit oceansupercluster.ca. MacDonald writes about ocean-economy investment on her Substack, Saltwater Signals, and she's easy to find on LinkedIn.

The fall of the Lordship of the Isles didn't just fracture a clan — it set off a centuries-long story of survival, rivalry, and extinction. In Part 2, we continue our deep dive into the independent branches that emerged from the ruins of Clan Donald, focusing on four clans that carved out their own identities and legacies — and honoring the branches that didn't survive into the modern era.If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, start there — we lay the groundwork with the history of the Lordship, its forfeiture in 1493, and an introduction to the major branches of Clan Donald.The Branches Covered in This Episode:

It is hard to pass by a feast day honoring a saint who has been declared “Doctor of the Church.” After all, there have been only 38 declared in the long history of the Catholic Church and they all have something special to teach us. St. Ephrem, a deacon born to Christian parents around the year 306, spent his life teaching Christians throughout Mesopotamia. He did it mostly through hymns, even organizing an all-women choir to perform in church, something that was not practiced at the time. The choir members were even known as “deaconesses.” Ephrem often referred to himself as the “herdsman” and the bishop as the “shepherd.” In 337, Emperor Constantine I died. Constantine was responsible for legalizing and promoting the practice of Christianity. Seeing an opportunity, the King of Persia, Shapur II, began to systematically attack the area where Ephrem lived. His hometown was besieged, but remained safe within its walls, even when Shapur's army diverted a river to undermine them. When the attacking army elephants and calvary got bogged down in the wet ground, it allowed the citizens of the city to quickly refortify the walls. Ephrem even wrote a hymn commemorating the event, referring to the city as “Noah's Ark,” floating to safety on the flood. Eventually, his home city was captured, and all the Christians were expelled. Ephrem moved to Edessa in modern day Greece. He began to build the local church by establishing a learning center where he served as a teacher. He succumbed to the plague as he ministered to its victims in 373. I will conclude with a portion of one of Ephrem's sermons: “In your sacrament we daily embrace you and receive you into our bodies; make us worthy to experience the resurrection for which we hope. We have your treasure hidden within us ever since we received baptismal grace; it grows ever richer at your sacramental table…Savior, your crucifixion marked the end of your mortal life; teach us to crucify ourselves and make way for our life in the Spirit.” Amen. Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Episode 220: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Allan MacDonald — a decision-making specialist who has spent 15 years in elite sport before transitioning into government, and who holds a professional doctorate in judgmental forecasting and decision-making. Allan's career has taken him across high-performance sport, public sector strategy, and academic research — giving him a rare cross-domain perspective on how decisions actually get made under pressure. His doctoral work focuses on the science of forecasting and human judgement, exploring why even experienced professionals fall short when it matters most. ㅤ At the centre of the conversation is a question every high-performance environment faces: how do we make better decisions — not just with better data, but with better thinking? Allan unpacks the gap between having information and knowing how to weigh it, and why expertise alone is no defence against the biases that quietly shape our choices. ㅤ The discussion also explores how the principles of judgmental forecasting and calibrated confidence translate beyond sport — into business, strategy, and any environment where decisions are made in the face of uncertainty. ㅤ Topics Discussed: Decision Making in High-Performance Environments Confidence and Calibration Team Set-Ups and How They Shape Judgement Forecasting and Handling Uncertainty The Crossover to Business and Strategy - Where you can find Allan: LinkedIn Website X - Sponsors Gameplan is a rehab Project Management & Data Analytics Platform that improves operational & communication efficiency during rehab.

Since then, he has gone on to write roughly 700 articles on music, alternative history, spirituality and UFO's for such magazines as Magical Blend Magazine, UFO Magazine, Reggae Festival Guide, the Chico News & Review, and currently Phenomena Magazine online out of Scotland, among many others. He has written three books. The first is, Song in Your Heart: The Story of the Search for the Lost Note (2008), Volume I in a three-partseries titled, the Esoteric Guide to the Reggae Vibe series, illustrating the role of the “Roots Reggae Rasta” in terms of a global struggle for the control of human consciousness. Also, Lueder wrote, A UFO Hunter's Guide (2012), by Weiser Books in San Francisco. In it, he breaks down the muddled field of Ufology into processible chunks both highlighting the field's infamous history and the context with which a Ufologist finds themselves today. Unlike any other book on the market, it includes Tips from the Pros as many of today's top investigators contributed key facets of many techniques, approaches and strategies pertinent for the investigator. His third book, Agents of Ascension: UFO PR, was released inApril of 2025 and explores Public Relations; its role within a fabricated UFO mainstream narrative, it's occult roots born out of evil genius and its power of mass psychological and consciousness influence. Lueder has also produced several DVD sets including two double-disk sets of interviews with Speakers from the Bay Area UFO Expo titled, the Esoteric Guide to the Bay Area UFO Expo Volumes I & II. He has also produced a two-disk DVD set with booklet titled, Esoteric Guide presents…Inside Mt Shasta (2017),with two lectures and a booklet revolving around his work with the Ambassador of Telos, Dianne Robbins, highlighting, among other aspects of spirituality, the crossover between U Masters.Lueder has appeared on coast to coast Am two times, September 15, 2012 with Host John B.

This episode of the Closing Market Report examines long-term consolidation trends within the U.S. agricultural sector. Henrique Monaco details findings from a farmdoc daily article on the U.S. nitrogen fertilizer industry, explaining that high concentration—with the top four companies controlling 70% of domestic ammonia production capacity—is the expected result of cost-based competition in a mature commodity market, rather than a reaction to recent geopolitical supply shocks. Agricultural economist Jim MacDonald expands on this theme by outlining parallel consolidation at the farm level. Utilizing a 2,000-acre threshold to ensure consistent tracking devoid of inflation-related distortion, MacDonald notes that large operations expanded their share of U.S. cropland from 15% in 1987 to 41% by 2017. Both experts underscore that economies of scale and cost efficiency remain the primary catalysts for industry consolidation, from input manufacturing to farm-level crop production.- Henrique Monaco, farmdoc Researcher - University of Illinois - Jim MacDonald, Agricultural Economist - University of Marylandfarmdoc Daily Article https://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2026/05/consolidation-trends-in-the-us-nitrogen-fertilizer-industry.html ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, author Michael Leggiere will explore Napoleon's attempt to capture Berlin in 1813 and the reasons behind it.Determined to regain the initiative, Napoleon ordered a bold offensive toward Berlin—the capital of Prussia. Napoleon entrusted the operation to 2 of his most aggressive marshals, Oudinot and Ney. In 1813, a large French army moved north to strike the Prussian forces defending the road to Berlin. The campaign culminated in the Battles of Grossbeeren and Dennewitz The failure of this attack shattered Napoleon's plan to seize Berlin and helped energize the anti-French coalition during the War of the Sixth Coalition.• Why Napoleon targeted the Prussian capital• The roles of Marshals Ney, Oudinot, and Macdonald in the campaign• How the Prussians stopped the French advance• Why the failure helped lead to Napoleon's ultimate defeat in Germany

You've been thinking about writing a book. Maybe you even have a working title or a rough outline. But before you invest months of your time and energy, there's an important question to ask. Is the book you're considering actually worth writing? For entrepreneurs, a book should be more than a passion project. It should support your business goals, connect you with the right audience, and open doors to opportunities like speaking, consulting, or new clients. But too many authors start writing before they've thought strategically about what the book is meant to do. That's why I created the Author ROI Lab. It's a small group program designed to help entrepreneurs step back and evaluate the real potential of the book they're considering. Together, we look at your audience, your business model, and the outcomes you want to create so you can decide whether the book is worth writing and how to position it for meaningful results. If you're thinking about writing a book and want to make sure it's a smart investment of your time, learn more about the Author ROI Lab at www.robbiesamuels.com/lab. Now, let's meet this week's author panel: Lisa MacDonald wrote “The Most Common Entrepreneurial Mistakes and How to Avoid Them,” a clear, experience-driven playbook that helps entrepreneurs spot costly pitfalls early, strengthen decision-making, and build a more stable path to growth. Nikki Green wrote “Chameleon Mindset: Creative Ways To Embrace Change And Build Mental Resilience To Transform Your Career & Life,” a practical guide that helps professionals navigate change with more confidence, build mental resilience, and make intentional career and life pivots. Please join me in welcoming Lisa and Nikki. In this episode, we discuss the following:

He joins Rapid Response to share what Uber's real-time data reveals about consumer behavior amid surging gas prices, and what the company's rapid expansion into hotels and hospitality really signals about its ambitions. Macdonald also confronts the uncomfortable question at the heart of Uber's autonomous vehicle push: what does the company actually owe its millions of drivers? Plus, why the rising cost of AI isn't just a tech-sector problem, and what it means for businesses of every size trying to keep up.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Austin speaks with Dr. Lauren Macdonald, a clinical trial physician and psychedelic therapist, about the evolving role of community in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-356/?ref=278 Lauren shares insights from her work at Imperial College London, where she contributed to research on psilocybin for anorexia and fibromyalgia, as well as DMT for treatment-resistant depression. She reflects on the limitations of purely individual therapeutic models and explores how group-based approaches can foster deeper healing through connection, shared experience, and what she describes as communitas. The conversation also touches on the contrast between clinical and ceremonial settings, the role of group dynamics in emotional processing, and the challenges of access and affordability as psychedelic therapy expands. Dr. Lauren Macdonald has a background in psychiatry, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and group retreat facilitation, working at the intersection of science, soul, and spirit. At the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, she has served as a clinical trial doctor and psychedelic therapist on studies exploring psilocybin for anorexia and fibromyalgia, and DMT for treatment-resistant depression.
