On the morning of May 17th, 2014, a detective wrote furiously as she sat next to the hospital bed of a mortally-injured 77-year-old woman. The woman had been in a coma for the last ten days, and the detective had been desperately working to figure out who had tried to kill her. Now that the woman had woken up, the detective was finally getting the chance she'd been waiting for – to ask her victim directly. But the woman was afraid. She told the detective she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it here, at the hospital – because she was still in danger.

The Grandmother Contract: Love as Currency, Fear as Infrastructure In the hidden economy of African-American intimacy, love has rarely been a free-floating sentiment. 

Today I sit with Octavia Etheridge giving us her debut Sci-Fi Thriller The Matriarch-Liberty's Freedom from Wise Acre Comics. Liberty is an Ex-Marine imprisoned for killing the man who murdered her sister, or so she thought. Octavia described the books as having elements of Kill Bill, The Matrix, Handmaids Tale, and Fast and the Furious. The world Liberty lives in separation between men and women, between misogyny, crime, and an imbalance of power there lies no peace. Men have chosen to retrieve power through human trafficking and creating a new breed of men through abduction. Liberty and a special ops team reluctantly meet at the wrong place, but at the right time as her recruitment to the Code- a special government task force may be her only way to stay out of prison and make a change in this world.Written by Octavia Etheridge and Philip OdieteArt by Victor DrujininColors by King BolaLetters by LetterSquidDistributed by Wise Acre Comics Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

I'm joined today by Kate Phelan and Johann Kurtz to debate the question 'should we encourage our sons to be masculine?' Kate is a lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne and the author of a recent book titled 'Feminism, Defeated.' Johann is the author of the Substack 'Becoming Noble.' We discussed whether the relationship between masculinity and femininity is necessarily hierarchical, the role of men as protectors of women, why aggression is the most difficult and volatile facet of masculinity, and whether traditional gender roles are prudent or tyrannical.

Donna Adelson Trial-State Opens With Shocking Murder-for-Hire Claims Against Matriarch "Mastermind" Dive into the opening statement in the Donna Adelson trial where the State paints a chilling portrait: a controlling, relentless matriarch who allegedly conspired to kill her ex–son‑in‑law, Dan Markel. In front of the jury, Assistant State Attorney Sarah Kathryn Dugan didn't mince words—Donna, she said, was “part of a conspiracy to hire a hitman” in a plot rooted in a bitter custody battle and a longing to relocate her daughter and grandkids to South Florida. Dugan walked jurors through the family's inner workings—from emails revealing Donna's involvement, to allegations she “hated” Dan, to claims she managed details, payroll, and even payroll arrangements for Katherine Magbanua, the go‑between who connected the Adelsons to the hitmen. She emphasized Donna's dominance in the family: “She was extremely controlling… she ran the office, the home and the lives of the Adelson family members.” Wiretaps, coded phone calls, and financial records were promised to underscore the prosecution's theory of motive and execution. If you want the full strategy, emotion, and shadow of motive defined, this is your must-see moment. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #ProsecutionOpening #MurderForHire #MatriarchMastermind #DanMarkelMurder #TrueCrimeCourtroom #CustodyBattle #FloridaTrial #WiretapEvidence #DonnaDidIt Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Complete Donna Adelson Story — From Matriarch to Murder Trial In this full-length Hidden Killers special, we bring together all four parts of our deep investigation into the case of Donna Adelson, the matriarch at the center of one of Florida's most infamous murder-for-hire cases. This is the complete, unbroken story — from the private family dynamics that may have sparked a deadly plot, to the public trial that could end with Donna spending the rest of her life in prison. We begin with Donna's role inside the Adelson family, where prosecutors allege she held a controlling influence over her children — influence that, according to the state, turned into the driving force behind the 2014 killing of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. We examine the $1 million relocation bribe offer, threats involving the children's religious upbringing, the pattern of phone calls on the day of the murder, and the money trail that prosecutors say links Donna directly to the crime. From there, we go inside Donna's public and private narrative control — breaking down recorded prison calls that reveal strategic language, careful omissions, audience-specific tone shifts, and emotional steering. Even behind bars, her voice reaches far beyond her cell, shaping perceptions and planting alternate versions of events aimed at both family members and the court of public opinion. Next, we confront Donna's apparent willingness to testify — a rare and risky move for a defendant facing this level of evidence. We explore the psychology, confidence, and possible ego behind taking the stand, drawing parallels to other high-profile cases where testimony either helped or destroyed the defense. Finally, we look ahead to the lasting legacy and fallout of this case: the intergenerational trauma facing the Adelson grandchildren, the identity struggles of carrying a notorious last name, the fractures and loyalties within the family, and the public judgment that will follow them long after the verdict. This is more than a trial. It's a story about control, loyalty, manipulation, and the far-reaching consequences of a single decision. Whether you've followed the case from the start or are just hearing the details now, this full investigation gives you the complete context, evidence breakdown, and psychological analysis in one place. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #FloridaCrime #MurderTrial #FamilyFallout #Matriarch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is more than a trial. It's a story about control, loyalty, manipulation, and the far-reaching consequences of a single decision. Whether you've followed the case from the start or are just hearing the details now, this full investigation gives you the complete context, evidence breakdown, and psychological analysis in one place. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #FloridaCrime #MurderTrial #FamilyFallout #Matriarch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"What I really was grieving was the loss of what I'd hoped my marriage would have been." – Pat Fenner Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with author and podcaster Pat Fenner, who shares her powerful journey through "gray divorce"—divorce that happens to women over 50, typically after a decade or more of marriage. After 37 years of marriage, Pat found herself having to start over at an age when most couples are planning retirement together. Her story brings to light the unique challenges facing women in gray divorce, from employment gaps that make renting an apartment nearly impossible to the crushing blow to self-worth that comes with feeling "unemployable" after decades focused on family. Pat's transformation from feeling like she'd "end up being a greeter at Walmart" to building a successful podcast production business offers hope and practical wisdom. Her journey highlights hidden skills many women possess but don't recognize—skills developed through years of unpaid but invaluable work managing households, raising children, and caring for aging parents. Perhaps most powerfully, Pat discusses reclaiming her identity and becoming what she calls the family "matriarch,” which is not someone who controls, but someone who serves by sharing hard-won wisdom. Her advice to women in similar situations is to take inventory of your skills, involve yourself in family finances before you have to, and remember that "being a grown ass woman" isn't selfish. It's actually inspiring!   Key Topics ●      “What the Heck is Gray Divorce?” (02:14) ●      Employment and Housing Challenges (03:56) ●      The Emotional Toll and Self-Image Impact (06:30) ●      Discovering Hidden Skills and New Purpose (17:48) ●      Overcoming Financial Shame (22:37) ●      Redefining Retirement Goals (28:16) ●      Embracing the Role of Matriarch (34:39)   Resources: ReBuilding Your Life After a Gray Divorce (book) Pat Fenner Website Pat Fenner Gray Resources Silver Women with a Bright Future Podcast   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Somewhat coinciding with DC3's recent reunion at the Cowboy Carter Tour finale; we are back celebrating one of the most successful girl groups of our generation. Let's go back to 1999 - a time of cowboy hats, bandana tops and diamond belly rings - to revisit one of the best-selling R&B albums of our time, "The Writing's On The Wall". Not only was this a pivotal coming-of-age album and turning point for Beyoncé, Kelly, Letoya and Latavia's careers; it spawned a string of beloved hits that soundtracked the turn of the millennium like the GRAMMY-winning smash 'Say My Name', the chart-topper 'Bills, Bills, Bills' and bangers 'Bug A Boo' and 'Jumpin Jumpin'. We get into all the singles, music videos, photo shoots, Tina Knowles designs, fave album tracks and fun deep cuts (hello, Solange remix!). And chronicle what a whirlwind time of breakthrough success, dramatique line-up changes, and global presence it was for Destiny's Child!

Elle Rowley is a woman on a mission to change the perception of motherhood. For someone who believes motherhood gave her the confidence to do more and be more in life, she wants to help others begin to view motherhood as transformative instead of something to be endured. On this week's episode, we talk with Elle about why she believes motherhood is a hero's journey—one absolutely worth taking.   “[Motherhood] tests every part of you but on the other side of that is transformation. It is finding yourself, it is knowing yourself. That archetype is a Christ archetype. It is service. It is losing yourself and finding it.”   3:12- Potential Unlocked 7:15- Softness, Humility and Open-Heartedness 13:35- Combatting Feelings of Inadequacy 16:12- Maiden, Mother, and Matriarch 21:37- Experiencing Our Own Paths 24:37- Nothing Too Precious 28:16- Losing Your Life 32:38- “Bring the Baby” 39:58- Honoring Our Elders 44:08- Grandma Moses 49:49- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
