If you'll recall in our recent studies of Acts on Sound Doctrine, we read about the Apostle Paul's shipwreck off the coast of Malta. We saw that, despite the challenges, Paul didn't let his circumstances derail him from his true focus - sharing the love of Christ! And what great encouragement that is to us to take advantage of the opportunities we have even today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29
Paul finds himself now shipwrecked and on the island of Malta. But God had promised him that he would make it to Rome, the voyage would resume, and not even a serpent could prevent that from happening! God always keeps His promises!

Understand history and you will understand today. How marginalized groups serve a purpose. Some common sense Roman history applies. Is that God really represent love? What if all trannies are still his children? All life is created in his image. The Crusades meant heads on pikes for unbelievers. Once country swore to irradicate the invented enemy of Christianity. When faith is not iron clad, conversations won't happen. When hypothetical situations offend people. Understanding connections to God. Trans just want to belong while they look for a purpose. Popping the cherry of Solidarity.inc. Check out those 990's. How protest groups are funded. Deep pockets and global connections. The program to push forward transgenders. There are groups calling themselves delegations, in every state. They are jumping behind free speech. Understand how crazy they are and how Charlie was evil. Most of these are academics. Separating wheat and chaff. Good Christians don't shun people. They understand, and then pray for compassion and grace.

Today on Sound Doctrine we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Acts twenty-seven. Paul is at sea and on his way to Rome with a couple hundred other men. They encounter an enormous storm that lasts for fourteen days and they end up on the island of Malta. Pastor Jeff is going to relate this to the storms we face in our lives, to help us respond in a God-honoring fashion.

Vandaag het gesprek met Henrike Gootjes. Henrike is auteur van Regeneratie, beeldend kunstenaar, docent en regeneratief strateeg. Al meer dan twintig jaar werkt zij internationaal als kunstenaar, onderzoeker en educator, met bijzondere aandacht voor de invloed van geopolitiek en economie op het dagelijks leven. Ze ontwierp participatieve kunstprojecten in onder andere Nederland, Australië, Amerika, Malta, Jordanië en Noord-Ierland, en staat bekend om haar vermogen om kunst, wetenschap en gemeenschappen te verbinden. Met haar werk nodigt zij uit tot verbeelding, samenwerking en moed om samen een “generatie van regeneratie” te worden. Laten we beginnen… Wat ik zoal leerde van Henrike: 00:00 intro - 03:28 Het belangrijkste werk dat Henrike doet, hoe stellen we het leven centraal. 04:30 Tegenover de clusterf*ck staat regeneratie. 05:40 Het is dom en irrationeel om eindeloos oorlog te voeren en ons te laten wennen aan geweld. 06:10 Een van de vijf clusterf*ck verhalen is dat we niet genoeg hebben en moeten koloniseren. 08:50 De vijf verhalen geven ons een mensbeeld van vernietiger. De aarde is eigenlijk beter af zonder de mens. 09:40 De aarde wil niet van ons af. We horen op aarde. 12:50 We moeten veel harder schreeuwen hoe irrationeel het oorlogvoeren is. 13:35 Herken je vijand en verwacht tegenstand, helpt om moed te houden en onderscheidingsvermogen. 15:30 We moeten herkennen wat psychopatengedrag is en hoe het werkt. 17:20 Om te overleven moet je die taktieken herkennen, anders word je gemanipuleerd. 18:20 Boosheid en verdriet kan ze kort volhouden, het put uit. 22:30 Het besluit om naar de Oekranië te gaan terwijl je een boek schrijft, en het land in oorlog is. 24:40 Hoe komt het dat oorlog ontstaat? Waarom gaan buren met elkaar vechten? 25:15 De achtergrond van de oorlog in Noord-Ierland. 26:00 Gaza is geen religieus conflit. 27:40 De verkiezingen kloppen niet meer. Met geld en manupulatie komen steeds meer psychopaten aan de macht. 28:10 De psychopaat zegt dat hij/zij democratisch is verkozen. 31:25 De kinderen niet verantwoordelijk te maken voor de oplossingen. 31:55 Hoe kunnen wij onze kinderen ondersteunen de generatie van regeneratie te zijn? 33:15 De bronnen van de systemen als neoliberalisme liggen in Nederland. - "Hoe bestuur je een kolonie" 37:10 Onze generaties zitten op posities waar ze invloed en inspraak hebben, we hebben kapitaal. Neem risico. Wij mogen dat niet afwentelen op de nieuwe generaties. 40:20 Je hele leven werkt om rijk te sterven.

De cryptomarkt laat deze week nauwelijks beweging zien. Bitcoin noteert nog altijd rond de 110.000 dollar, precies hetzelfde niveau als een week geleden. Ook bij de altcoins is er weinig verandering te bespeuren, al staan de meeste munten licht in de min met verliezen tussen de drie en vijf procent. Daarmee lijkt het een rustige periode zonder grote koersschommelingen. Toch gebeurt er op de markten zelf wel degelijk wat. Na AMDAX is er nu een tweede bedrijf dat de strategie van Microstrategy naar de Amsterdamse beurs brengt. Treasury, zoals het nieuwe initiatief heet, wil zich profileren als Bitcoinopkoopbedrijf. Bekende namen staan achter deze constructie. De Winklevoss-broers, oprichters van cryptobeurs Gemini, investeerden mee, net als David Bailey, een Amerikaanse ondernemer die dicht tegen president Trump aanzit. In totaal is er 126 miljoen euro opgehaald, waarmee inmiddels al duizend bitcoin zijn aangeschaft. Treasury kiest voor een omgekeerde beursgang door de notering van het kleine bedrijf Nedsense over te nemen. Een exacte datum voor de beursnotering is nog niet bekend. Daarmee staat Amsterdam in korte tijd twee van dit soort projecten toe. AMDAX kondigde eerder de Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy aan. Daar is in de eerste ronde deze week twintig miljoen euro opgehaald, met de mogelijkheid om dit bedrag op te schalen naar dertig miljoen. Ook hier is het doel om zoveel mogelijk bitcoin in te kopen en op de balans te zetten. Daarmee sluit Nederland aan bij een bredere Europese trend: in Duitsland, Frankrijk, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zweden bestaan al langer beursgenoteerde bedrijven die deze strategie volgen. De komst van Treasury valt vooral op door de omvang van de investering en de prominente namen die zich eraan verbinden. Verder ligt cryptobedrijf OKX onder vuur van De Nederlandsche Bank. Het van oorsprong Chinese bedrijf heeft inmiddels een Europese vergunning via Malta, maar opereerde eerder zonder de verplichte registratie in Nederland. Daarvoor legt DNB nu een boete op van 2,25 miljoen euro. Dat bedrag ligt onder de maximale straf van vier miljoen euro, omdat OKX stappen heeft gezet om overtredingen te voorkomen en ondertussen een Europese vergunning volgens de nieuwe MiCAR-regels heeft verkregen. Toch is de straf niet onomstreden: OKX was actief in Nederland terwijl andere grote partijen, zoals Binance, Coinbase en Bybit, zich wél aan de registratieverplichtingen hielden. Tot slot verbreedt DeGiro zijn aanbod. Vanaf maandag kunnen Nederlandse klanten via het platform twintig van de grootste cryptovaluta verhandelen. Het bedrijf benadrukt dat er geen plannen zijn om een volwaardige crypto-exchange te worden, maar positioneert zich wel in de kopgroep wat betreft transactiekosten. Met een miljoen Nederlandse klanten is DeGiro een van de belangrijkste beleggingsplatforms in het land, al is de verwachting dat de stap richting crypto geen grote verschuiving op de markt zal veroorzaken. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Martijn Siebrand, program manager Digital Assets bij ABN AMRO. En dat is toch wel bijzonder, want banken waren voorheen altijd érg mediaschuw rond hun plannen met crypto en blockchain. Achter de schermen is er toch een hoop aan de hand: ABN zet stappen met het digitaal, via blockchain dus, uitgeven van obligaties en ziet in bijna alle stappen van dat proces een use case voor crypto. En ook op andere vlakken zijn ze druk bezig. Co-host is Mauro Halve. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Elizabeth Merritt is the founding director of the Center for the Future of Museums at the American Alliance of Museums. It's her job to track cultural, technological, environmental, political and public health trends — and figure out what they might mean for museums and the communities they serve. She thinks about things like: what role could blockchain play in the art world? Could it allow artists to permanently bake royalties into their work, so that they get a share on future resales? Could museums help lead that kind of change? For Elizabeth, this is personal work: growing up, museums were her favorite places to learn and explore. She did well in school, but she learned more wandering the halls of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on her own. It was a space that nurtured her curiosity. And that curiosity, a belief that museums are places where we can choose to learn, shapes how she sees the future. Elizabeth says that she approaches her work like a classic futurist: she reads widely — from academic research to news articles to social media — absorbing as much as she can across disciplines. She also draws inspiration from science fiction, especially dystopias, usually the ones that highlight problems and pathways forward. But her job isn't just about anticipatory practices and strategic foresight, it's about preparing museums for the future. So, she's careful to distinguish trends from fads — trends have direction and persistence, while fads fade. For example, when it comes to climate change, she sees museums as cultural institutions as well as potential anchors of community resilience, helping people adapt to extreme heat, cold and severe weather. Still, she says the biggest challenge right now is twofold: how museums can remain economically sustainable and intellectually independent — and, more importantly, how they can hold on to public trust. Museums are among the most trusted institutions in American life, and she believes that trust is a powerful tool for reshaping a better world. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

The Holy See and the United Nations: The International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994) as a Case StudyPresenters:Jane Adolphe, LLB/BCL/JCL/JCD Dr. Jane F. Adolphe is a professor of law at Ave Maria School of Law in Naples, Florida (2001-present), with degrees in common law, civil law (LLB/BCL), and canon law (JCL/JCD). She is also a lawyer qualified to practice law in Alberta, Canada and New York, USA, with an expertise in international human rights law and the Holy See. She is a former external advisor (2002-2011) and internal advisor (2011-2020) to three Popes: John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis through her work with the Papal Secretariat of State, Section for Relations with States. Jane is Founder and Executive Director of the International Catholic Jurists Forum.AbstractProfessor Adolphe will discuss the nature and mission of the Holy See within the international community and its status within the United Nations Organization (UN), with an overview of the Holy See's role during the 1990's when the UN launched a series of international conferences that form the basis of the current UN document: Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainability Goals, and the Holy See's extensive reservations to the same. John Klink, M.A. Former Papal Diplomat and Chief Negotiator for the Holy See over UN World Summits in mid-1990s Gift of Divine Providence: My Role as a Papal Diplomat under Saint John Paul IIJohn Klink holds a BA from Santa Clara University and an MA from Georgetown University in English Literature. John was an executive with Catholic Relief Services serving in underdeveloped countries in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. He was recruited by the Vatican, and subsequently the White House, to serve as a diplomat/negotiator for scores of United Nations World Summits and Conferences during the critical period of the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of the European Union. He became an advisor to Popes and Presidents, was elected President of the International Catholic Migration Commission, and with his wife Patricia began a sovereign securities firm on Wall Street.His distinctive honors include Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Knight of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George, Knight of Columbus (3rd Degree), and a Knight of Sts. Maurice and Lazarus. Royal Thai Armed Forces Award for Humanitarian Assistance to Displaced Persons in Thailand; 41st CRS Anniversary Award for Humanitarian Assistance; Legatus Ambassador Award.AbstractThe Population World Battle of CairoWhile the Holy See's Mission to the United Nations observer status normally precludes its active participation in member state negotiations, the creation in the 1990s of UN world conferences/summits allowed for the Holy See's delegations to participate as Conference state members. Thus, when a gauntlet was thrown by the draft document for the Cairo Population Conference of 1994 prepared by the Secretariat of the infamously “progressive” UN Population Fund and the nomination of its Director, Dr. Nafis Sadik as the President of the Cairo Conference, the Holy See actively intervened. Pope St. John Paul II, who providentially had taken the time to read the draft document, confronted Dr. Sadik at her private Papal audience, and he issued a clarion call to his fellow heads of state to be aware of the dangers to humanity that lurked in the Cairo draft declaration pages. In my remarks, I will recount some of the background history of how John Paul's inspiration led to the blocking of attempts by the “progressive” governments of the US and EU to create an international right to abortion.
Influenced by Kevin who was the first person to go on holidays to Malta ever, PJ took a trip there recently with his friend Layla who had her clit out on a catamaran and PJ tells us all about it. Then, prompted by the chaotic American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney and the even more ridiculous ELF campaign with Matt Rife the lads talk about the weird, wonderful and woeful world of advertising. They go through some copy lines and decide whether they are real ads or simply fads and recall their favourite jingles from adverts back in the day; WiMAX man you will always be famous.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In Acts 27, Paul faces a life-threatening storm at sea while being transported to Rome as a prisoner. Despite the captain's poor decisions and a hurricane-force storm that destroys their ship, Paul stands firm on God's promise that he will reach Rome and testify about Jesus there. When all hope seems lost, Paul receives divine reassurance that everyone aboard will survive, which proves true when all 276 passengers safely reach shore after the shipwreck. The unexpected detour to Malta becomes an opportunity for ministry as Paul heals many sick people during their three-month stay. This story powerfully illustrates how God's plans prevail through storms, and how our difficulties often become platforms for His glory and mission.https://www.ankenyfree.church
"Don't let the enemy stop your hands from doing the Lord's work". Pastor Dave Niblock finishes this series by looking at Paul's shipwreck on Malta and the miraculous events that followed, encouraging us all to "shake off some snakes".Scriptures:Acts 28:1-10 , Acts 2:43, Acts 5:12, Acts 19:11-12

In this episode of The Open Door, panelists Thomas Storck and Christopher Zehnder interview Karl Schmude, President of the Australian Chesterton Society.Among the questions they ask are the following:Australia is I think the most recent major country of European culture to be established, i.e., in the late 18th century, after a century and more of secularization in Europe, and then for a time was treated as a British prison colony. In what ways does this make Australia different from other parts of the Western cultural world? Is it proper to speak of an Australian tradition given that it was settled at the end of the European Enlightenment?Has the significant numbers of immigrants - as you noted, from Italy, Malta, Poland, Lebanon, affected the originally British character of Australian culture? And has the more recent immigration affected this? In particular, has there been significant immigration from countries without any Christian cultural tradition and if so, what effect has this had?I have read about the Campion Society of the 1930s, and I was very impressed by their attempt to develop Catholic intellectual, social and cultural life - an effort that I don't know had any equivalent elsewhere. Yet in the end it was not successful? Why was that?One gets the impression of an increasing hostile secularist culture in Australia, e.g., the conviction of Cardinal Pell for a crime that seemingly he could not possibly have actually committed, or the Conversion Practices Ban Acts of 2024. Can you comment on such trends and the response of Catholics or other Christians. (In the U.S. Evangelical Protestants still form a powerful political and cultural bloc. Is this the case in Australia?)Can you tell us something about Campion College and why it was founded? Does it attempt to carry on the work originally begun by the Campion Society in the 1930s?In addition to Campion College, there are several other Catholic higher educational institutions, are there not? How would you describe these? Are any of them authentically Catholic?In what ways is the task of both retaining Catholics and evangelizing different in Australia from other parts of the Catholic world?
De cryptomarkt heeft het lastig deze week. Bitcoin schommelt rond de 113.000 dollar en dat is duidelijk lager dan de recordstanden van twee weken geleden, toen de koers nog 124.000 dollar aantikte. Daarmee heerst er een sfeer van onzekerheid. Toch zijn er altcoins die beter presteren. Ethereum houdt al weken een sterke lijn vast en noteert rond de 4.600 dollar, dichtbij het oude koersrecord. Solana valt eveneens op met een stijging van dertien procent tot 210 dollar. De markt balanceert zo tussen hoop op nieuwe records en vrees voor een verdere terugval. Tegen deze achtergrond liet Google nieuwe plannen zien om de cryptowereld binnen te stappen. Het bedrijf presenteerde Google Cloud’s Universal Ledger, een blockchainplatform dat in 2026 operationeel moet zijn. Het platform is gericht op financiële instellingen die toepassingen willen ontwikkelen met cryptotechnologie. Denk daarbij aan de uitgifte van stablecoins of het tokeniseren van financiële assets, waarbij eigendomsrechten en waardepapieren via de blockchain beheerd kunnen worden. Google richt zich nadrukkelijk niet op consumenten, maar positioneert het platform als infrastructuur voor banken, fintechs en andere bedrijven. Volgens Google is het onderscheidend vermogen van het Universal Ledger dat het een neutraal alternatief wil bieden. Waar bedrijven als Stripe en Circle hun eigen commerciële belangen hebben, zegt Google niet gebonden te zijn aan de financiële wereld. Daarmee hoopt het concern een breed scala aan klanten aan te trekken. Bovendien beschikt Google over een groot voordeel: de bestaande gebruikersbasis van Google Cloud, waar de blockchain-diensten eenvoudig aan toegevoegd kunnen worden. Toch blijven er volop alternatieven bestaan, van publieke netwerken als Ethereum en Solana tot infrastructuur van andere grote fintechs. Solana zelf komt ondertussen met een opvallende uitbreiding richting hardware. Het bedrijf Play Solana, los van de officiële Solana Foundation, kondigde een eigen gamingconsole aan: de PSG1. Dit apparaat doet qua uiterlijk denken aan de klassieke handheld-consoles, maar heeft ingebouwde functies voor cryptowallets en Web3-toepassingen. Het succes van de PSG1 hangt voor een groot deel af van de beschikbaarheid van spellen. Een groot ecosysteem van ontwikkelaars ontbreekt vooralsnog, maar bij de aanschaf van de console krijgen kopers gratis cryptomunten, wat voor extra belangstelling zorgt. Daar blijft het niet bij, want ook de tweede Solana-smartphone, de Seeker, is inmiddels uitgeleverd. Deze midrange-telefoon kost ongeveer 500 euro en trok vooral kopers door de belofte van gratis tokens, voornamelijk memecoins. Daarmee weet Solana zich te onderscheiden als een van de weinige cryptoprojecten die ook hardwareproducten ontwikkelt. Voorlopig lijkt het succes van de apparaten vooral samen te hangen met de waarde van de extra crypto die bij aanschaf wordt meegeleverd. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Jasper Bets van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten. De AFM is toezichthouder op de cryptosector sinds de introductie van de Europese cryptowet MICAR, en samen met Bert Slagter blikken we terug op het uitdelen van de eerste vergunningen. Daar ging een hoop goed, maar ook wat dingen fout. En we kijken naar de rest van Europa, want in andere landen, zoals Malta, zitten toezichthouders die wat minder streng zijn... En die bedrijven mogen nu wél op de Nederlandse markt opereren. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer – a trailer he referred to as his “toy box”.HOUR ONE: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========HOUR TWO: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.

This week, Mike and Laureen break down the latest headlines shaping the conversation around Israel and the Middle East. They examine the Democratic Socialists of America's 2025 national convention and the passing of a resolution on the Palestinian “right of return.” The hosts explore whether Western journalists should be allowed into Gaza to report freely and uncover the real story behind Anas Al-Sharif — presented by some as an Al Jazeera journalist but revealed to be a Hamas commander. British journalist Melanie Phillips weighs in on the false narrative that Palestinians are the indigenous people of Israel, while Mike and Laureen analyze recent moves by Australia, the UK, France, Malta, Canada, Portugal, Germany and Bahrain to formally recognize “Palestine.” Finally, they review author and journalist Matti Friedman's sharp critique of the Associated Press and its disproportionate coverage of Israel, which often casts Israel as the aggressor while downplaying the broader regional hostility it faces.

Julie Decker is the director and CEO of the Anchorage Museum. But before that she practiced as an artist and ran her own art gallery. Since then she's fostered a belief in the power of museums to spark action — whether that means picking up a paintbrush, reading a new book, or seeing the world differently. Her connection to the Anchorage Museum runs back to childhood, when it was little more than a single room with a borrowed collection. Her dad was a visual artist and an art teacher; he was her earliest and most influential guide into that world. He taught her to be an observer — to notice the small things — and she watched as his own work appeared in solo shows and juried exhibitions at the museum. So, for Julie, the Anchorage Museum isn't just a workplace; it's been a constant presence in her life, shaping her sense of art, community and possibility. In the work she does now, Julie envisions the Anchorage Museum as less a keeper of artifacts and more of a living platform for Alaska's stories. It acts as a collaborator and a partner — a place that listens to communities, amplifies the voices of Alaskans and connects local narratives to global conversations. In her view, Alaska's relatively small population allows individual creativity and innovation to ripple widely, making it vital to highlight imaginative thinkers, cultural disruptors and non-Western ways of knowing. That means rethinking what it means to collect — not simply holding objects, but being a responsible host and steward of the stories they carry. In Alaska, where the natural world shapes identity and guides daily life, the museum's role is to reflect how environmental change, Indigenous lifeways and community resilience intersect. Some projects take the form of exhibitions, others emerge as films, books, podcasts, newspaper series, or collaborations with musicians. Whether the work is local or part of an international conversation, Julie believes it must be rooted in place — fluid, adaptable and focused on a shared future that feels possible and inhabitable. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.
Julie Decker is the director and CEO of the Anchorage Museum. But before that she practiced as an artist and ran her own art gallery. Since then she's fostered a belief in the power of museums to spark action — whether that means picking up a paintbrush, reading a new book, or seeing the world differently. Her connection to the Anchorage Museum runs back to childhood, when it was little more than a single room with a borrowed collection. Her dad was a visual artist and an art teacher; he was her earliest and most influential guide into that world. He taught her to be an observer — to notice the small things — and she watched as his own work appeared in solo shows and juried exhibitions at the museum. So, for Julie, the Anchorage Museum isn't just a workplace; it's been a constant presence in her life, shaping her sense of art, community and possibility. In the work she does now, Julie envisions the Anchorage Museum as less a keeper of artifacts and more of a living platform for Alaska's stories. It acts as a collaborator and a partner — a place that listens to communities, amplifies the voices of Alaskans and connects local narratives to global conversations.

The streets of Washington, DC will soon be patrolled by 800 National Guard troops, the city's police will be under federal control for the first time in their history, and homeless people will be forced to leave. According to President Trump, it's all necessary to tackle a purported wave of lawlessness. And while crime is certainly a problem in the capital, Trump's description of a public safety emergency told a slightly different story than the statistics. There's actually been a decrease in crime, with violent crime at a 30-year low. With Trump hinting that Washington is just the first city to face these measures, what does this say about his exertion of executive power? Andrew McCabe was the acting FBI Director in the first Trump administration, he joins the program to discuss.
