Podcasts about McGowan

Alright this week we're back and joined by Michael Downs to talk with longtime friend of the show Todd McGowan about his brand new book The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan.This is a book a lot of us have wanted for a long time!McGowan's book on Lacan demonstrates yet again how right Lacan was when he insisted that people who are not clinical analysts can also be full members of his school. It's not that we philosophers should learn from clinicians - clinicians can learn from us what they are doing. Finally, someone dared to state openly the obvious truth: like all anti-philosophers from Kant onwards, Lacan is also and foremost a philosopher! - Slavoj ŽižekIs Lacan a philosopher? Is Lacan a dialectical thinker?In PART ONE of the interview with Todd we're talking Lacan's turn to the nonrelation and the Borromean knot and how it marks a break from his dialectical thought, and why you should skip the Écrits entirely and read the seminars instead. We trace Lacan's philosophical project through Kant and Hegel, explore Lacan's theory of the subject, Žižek's quantum history, the Copenhagen interpretation, and Sean Carroll as a Deleuzean physicist.Support us on PATREON and get access to our Discord, interviews, extra episodes each month, and our SHORT SESSIONS series for $5/month.⁠⁠⁠PART TWO of the interview will be out next!See you in Paris,Ž&...

I'm joined by Dimes to discuss one of the foundational conspiracy theory texts; Programmed to Kill. While we point out some of the books weaknesses, we ultimately declare its author, David McGowan, one of the most vindicated men of the modern era.This topic is more timely than you might think, because although our subject matter takes us back mostly to the 70's, and deals exclusively with murderers, we go to great lengths to show you how these networks reach all the way into the deepest depths of the American government. Jeffery Epstein was running a pedophile blackmail ring that is currently being covered up and denied right in front of everyones face…which is exactly what Dave McGowan was trying to prove with this seminal text. We also spend some time discussing Eye Of The Chicken Hawk, a much later text that lays out the broad scope of these trafficking networks and shows the myriad ways in which they were covered up. These two books, we believe, must be read together, and reinforce each other a great deal. They also help prove that what Jeffery Epstein and the Podestas were accused of doing in Pizzagate have a long, documented, sordid, and horrifying history throught out America and American politics.Follow Dimes at the website for his podcast Blood SatelliteListen to my previous episode on the Epstein/Podesta/CIA and international banking network, which reveals an internationl money laundering operation that maps directly on to the way McGowan describes in his book…decades before the Epstein story or Pizzagate ever broke.Also download my two previous MKULTRA episodes, one on The Unabomber, and one on Lee Harvey Oswald

BigTentUSA hosted legendary journalist Judy Woodruff and founder/publisher of Courier News, Tara McGowan. The conversation was moderated by Gen Z journalist Rachel Janfaza.At a time of historic distrust in the media and rising misinformation, how do we keep the public informed—and believing the facts? Together, they explored the challenges facing both legacy and emerging outlets, the growing cynicism among audiences, and the urgent need to rebuild trust in journalism as a cornerstone of democracy.This discussion highlighted how data driven Courier is in meeting the moment with social-first, fact-based reporting designed to reach Americans who've been left behind by traditional media. Our speakers also examined how legacy voices like Woodruff's continue to guide the public through complicated, high-stakes times with clarity and integrity.This is more than a conversation about the media—it's about defending truth and preserving democracy.ABOUT THE SPEAKERSJUDY WOODRUFF is the Senior Correspondent for the PBS NewsHour after serving for 11 years as its Anchor and Managing Editor.

St. Peter's Church in Lurgan, Co. Armagh has announced the end of its parish's tradition to walk from the church to St Colman's Graveyard after a funeral. The walks were impacting priests' schedules. Parish Priest Father Colum Murphy said that changes were necessary, given the increasing workload and pressure that the priests are under.Joining Kieran to discuss this is Dave McGowan, CEO of McGowan's Funeral Home and Father Iggy O'Donovan.

n a remote corner of Turkey, a unique geological formation, unearthed on September 11, 1959, by Turkish Army Captain Ilhan Durupinar, is raising eyebrows and piquing the interest of biblical scholars and geologists alike. This boat-shaped geological curiosity, commonly referred to as the Durupinar formation, is considered by some to be the final resting place of Noah's Ark.The narrative of Noah's Ark is deeply ingrained in the religious texts of both Christianity and Islam, with references found in Genesis 8:4 of the Bible and Surah 11:44 of the Qur'an. In both texts, the story recounts a great deluge, a boat, and a landing in a mountainous region. Locals in the nearby village point to the Durupinar site, which they call Al-Judi, as a possible landing point of the ark.Ed Opperman talks to Andrew Jones about the discovery which, if true, will rewrite history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this after show from 2015 I was fresh dealing with some people that I believed had a shared psychosis. I now understand that people like this are weaponized by others that are not crazy but professionals motivated to suppress and manipulate the truth and reporting. Looking back now I can see the pattern of attacks on me and seem to be motivated by my friendship and promotion of David McGowan. From this time way back in 2015 until today there is an effort to leech off of Dave's legacy and good work. Some of it can be traced directly back to people employed by US Govt intelligence.

What if the way you speak is costing more than just missed connections – perhaps even measurably diminishing your team's effectiveness?I've discovered that transforming how your message lands isn't about some innate talent, but about mastering specific, often counterintuitive techniques. Our guest today is, Bill McGowan, founder and CEO of Clarity Media Group, a two-time Emmy Award–winning correspondent, communication expert and author of Speak, Memorably: The Art of Captivating an Audience. We'll explore how embedding facts within a compelling narrative can make your information a staggering 22 times more memorable and you'll learn how to break free from the common verbal ruts that place you in a comfort zone. Why even something as standard as an agenda slide can sabotage your opening impact and how strategic silence, not filler words, can make your points resonate with far greater precision.This is about ensuring your words don't just get heard, but truly stick./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.

Is the water you drink every day silently poisoning you—and everyone else on the planet? As toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS) force regulators and law firms into unprecedented environmental litigation, are we doing enough to protect public health and our communities? This isn't just an environmental debate—it's a real-world legal crisis with real implications. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes Katrina McGowan, director and producer of the eye-opening documentary “How to Poison a Planet”. Katrina is on the front lines of uncovering global PFAS contamination and the corporate cover-ups behind it. We brought her on to expose how this environmental catastrophe is driving landmark litigation—and why legal professionals must pay attention. Did you know “forever chemicals” are now detected in 98% of human blood around the world—including newborns and even polar bears in the Arctic? And yet, many governments (and industries) are still pretending there's nothing to see here. Listen in as Katrina reveals the dramatic journey behind her film, real stories from legal battles with chemical giants, and exclusive insights on the urgent role lawyers play in environmental justice. What you'll learn in this episode: Why PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are everywhere—from firefighting foam to your drinking water The real story: Katrina's inspiration, research, and shocking revelations while making How to Poison a Planet The human impact: Uncovering health crises in contaminated communities like Wreck Bay, Australia Behind-the-scenes: How lawyers in the U.S. and Australia brought accountability to global corporations (3M and more) Corporate cover ups revealed—what internal documents finally showed about industry knowledge and intent Challenges faced: Government denial and resistance, public ignorance, and regulatory loopholes Screening the documentary for policymakers and its impact on pushing regulatory change Steps individuals and law firms can take to protect themselves and their clients now   Key Takeaways: Spread Awareness: Most people don't know about PFAS risks. Help educate your community. Act Together: Collective efforts—legal, civic, or grassroots—can pressure companies and regulators to act. Demand Transparency: Exposing hidden information can lead to real change. Push for openness. Push for Reform: Public pressure can drive stronger environmental laws and enforcement. Get Ahead of the Risk: Learn your exposure, adopt safer practices, and prepare before harm occurs.   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to The Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Watch “How to Poison a Planet”: https://www.howtopoisonaplanet.com Connect with Katrina McGowan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrina-m-4b12a562   This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

Mandy and Liz share details of the lawsuit while connecting the dots on what was happening in JP's life at the time.  Plus, they sit for an interview with Rock Hill attorney Randy Hood of McGowan, Hood, Felder and Phillips law firm, who is representing Jane, to learn more about Jane's case and what the world of litigating institutional child sexual abuse looks like. Hood is no stranger to suing churches on behalf of sexual assault victims.
