Randy OglesbyTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know actor Randy Oglesby. Randy has been an actor on television, film, and stage for more decades than I feel comfortable saying! In this episode, we chat about some of his pre-acting jobs, and why he eventually decided to get into acting. We touch on some of his earlier acting roles and experiences, and even what famous actress was in his high school drama class. We take a little detour as we discuss some of his stage performances and projects in the Los Angeles area. Randy shares his opinions about self-tape auditions versus in the room, which he prefers and the reasons why. Finally, we dive into his roles on THREE current television shows. Randy plays president of The United States Jim Bragg on Apple TV's 'For All Mankind', police chief McNamara on Amazon Prime's 'Marvel's Spider Noir', and Bill Festersen on Peacock's 'The Burbs'.

Make sure you catch Randy on those three shows and keep an eye out for him on some of your favorite films and TV shows from past, present, and future!

1964. As British Guiana edges towards independence, Washington fears another communist foothold in the Americas. But the President's attention is soon caught by a more immediate irritation: Harold Wilson's new Labour government is pressing ahead with a lucrative export deal to Castro's Cuba. To London, it is just business. To LBJ, it looks like betrayal. And as the CIA tries to keep one eye on British Guiana, the White House becomes consumed by a row over buses, allies, trade, and what loyalty means in the Cold War.Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer, Johnny Flynn and Jason Watkins.Eloise Page..........Kim Cattrall Lyndon Baines Johnson..........Kelsey Grammer Richard Helms..........Johnny Flynn David Ormsby-Gore..........Jason Watkins Young Eloise Page..........Elena Delia Robert ‘Bob' McNamara..........Rob Benedict Desmond Fitzgerald..........Donald Sage Mackay Helene Boatner..........Carlyss Peer John McCone..........Tim Ahern Virginia Hall..........Jennifer Armour Tom Karamessines ..........Akie Kotabe Elizabeth, Richard Helm's Secretary..........Laurel Lefkow Leroy Gomes..........Tyreke Leslie Cheddi Jagan..........Vivek Madan Tracy Barnes..........Richard Southgate Gerri Whittington..........Nettie ChickeringAll other parts played by castOriginal music by Sacha PuttnamProduction:Written by Greg Haddrick, who created the series with Jeremy FoxSound Design and Editing by Adam Woodhams, Andreina Gomez Casanova and John Scott Dryden Assistant Director: Flynn Hallman Sonica Studio Sound Engineers: Mat Clark & Paul Clark Margarita Sound Engineer: James Moore Sonica Runner: Lily LefkowDirector: John Scott Dryden Producer & Casting Director: Emma Hearn Executive Producers: Howard Stringer, Jeremy Fox, Greg Haddrick and John Scott Dryden.A Goldhawk production for BBC Radio 4

Professor William Taubman, guest author, recounts how, in March 1945, Robert McNamara served on Guam as a statistical advisor to General Curtis LeMay, where he played a pivotal role in shifting B-29 bombing tactics to low-altitude strikes. This strategy led to the devastating firebombing of Tokyo, killing approximately 100,000 civilians and prompting McNamara to later admit that they would have been condemned as "war criminals" had the U.S. lost. This early career highlighted his psychological compulsion to serve strong, demanding men—a trait forged by a cold, distant father and a driving mother who worshiped his brilliance while simultaneously infantilizing him. McNamara at War: A New History (1)1920 HANOI

Professor William Taubman, guest author, explains that McNamara's intellectual journey began at Berkeley and Harvard Business School, where he was consistently recognized as the "smartest guy" in his class, excelling in economics and mathematics. During a 1939 trip to Europe, he notably failed to realize that WWII was imminent even after hearing Hitler speak in Berlin, an admission that contrasts sharply with his later role as a global military strategist. He eventually married Margie, whose cheerful disposition complemented his analytical rigidity. His expertise in "statistical control" led him to teach military officers at Harvard, a role that eventually brought him to the attention of the defense establishment. McNamara at War: A New History (2)1920 HANOI

Professor William Taubman, guest author, describes how, after the war, McNamara joined the "Whiz Kids" at Ford Motor Company, rising to become president through his mastery of data and safety innovations like seat belts. In 1960, he was recruited by the Kennedy administration, initially resisting the call before accepting the role of Secretary of Defense on the condition that he could manage the Pentagon through meritocracy rather than politics. He became the star of the Kennedy cabinet, so admired that the brothers considered him a potential vice presidential or presidential candidate for 1968. McNamara at War: A New History (3)

Professor William Taubman, guest author, recounts how the assassination of JFK forged a deep, "opaque" bond between McNamara and Jackie Kennedy, as he spent the night following the murder sitting at her feet while she recounted the tragedy. Despite his grief, he immediately transitioned to serving Lyndon Johnson, who relied on McNamara's "tone for action" to justify the escalation of the Vietnam War. McNamara became the fiercest public advocate for the war, often suppressing his own growing doubts to please a commander who, unlike Kennedy, did not tolerate dissent. McNamara at War: A New History (4)

Professor William Taubman, guest author, explains that LBJ deeply admired McNamara's efficiency, often summoning his family to the White House for "barbecue" meetings or demanding his presence while swimming. During the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incidents, McNamara and Johnson withheld the full truth from Congress regarding the lack of evidence for a second attack, using the resulting resolution as a legal basis to expand the war. This lack of candor defined the early years of the conflict, as McNamara used his statistical prowess to build a case for victory that he privately began to question. McNamara at War: A New History (5)

Professor William Taubman, guest author, describes how McNamara's loyalty to LBJ even extended to acting as a political spy, reporting on the Kennedys' private intentions during the 1964 election to soothe the president's insecurities. Meanwhile, he maintained a loving relationship with Jackie Kennedy, who viewed him as a father figure for her children while simultaneously pounding on his chest and begging him to "end the slaughter" in Vietnam. This dual existence saw him serve as the architect of the war by day while sharing anti-war sentiments with Jackie in private. McNamara at War: A New History (6)1967

Professor William Taubman, guest author, reveals that by 1966, McNamara was a secret opponent of the war, admitting to aides that he desperately wanted to bring the troops home, yet he remained the public face of the conflict out of loyalty to the presidency. He faced intense student protests at Harvard and was profoundly shaken by a Quaker's self-immolation outside his window, leading to a period of intense internal conflict. Despite his public defense of the Pentagon, he later claimed that if he had led the anti-war demonstrations, he would have successfully shut the building down. McNamara at War: A New History (7)

Professor William Taubman, guest author, concludes that following his departure from the Pentagon in 1968, which Johnson orchestrated out of concern for his health, McNamara became President of the World Bank. He viewed this role as repentance, shifting the bank's focus to the "poorest of the poor" and leading a major campaign against river blindness in Africa. In his later years, he issued serial confessions regarding his failures, though his relationship with his children remained tattered, and he died believing the stress of Vietnam had ultimately killed his wife.

Even though I am technically in the middle of the Noss Gold Treasure epiodes, I felt the need to go on a  "wander"  and produce a new episode for our core journey here at JFK The Enduring Secret. In Episode 323, we begin to explore one of the most intense backdrops of the Kennedy administration: the Cuba Project. Following the disastrous and public failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, did not choose to retreat. Instead, they doubled down, concluding that the next attempt to topple Fidel Castro needed to be smarter, tighter, more deniable, and relentless.This commitment birthed Operation Mongoose, a massive covert program led by counterinsurgency specialist Brigadier General Edward Lansdale and strictly overseen by the White House. To wage this secret war, the CIA established JM WAVE in the suburbs of Miami—a massive intelligence station that functioned as a "small spy city". Under the leadership of Ted Shackley, this operation directed thousands of Cuban exile operatives, commanded an enormous budget, and conducted hundreds of "pinprick" sabotage raids against Cuban infrastructure.However, beneath the official campaign lay a much darker shadow war. This episode delves into the deeply secretive "Operation 40," a targeted killing and counterintelligence unit originally intended to purge communist officials. We also explore "ZR RIFLE," the CIA's executive action program that astonishingly partnered with the Mafia to orchestrate assassination plots against Castro, and the chilling "Operation Northwoods," a declassified proposal by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stage fake terrorist attacks on American soil as a pretext for a full-scale invasion of Cuba.Ultimately, the Cuba Project failed in its primary objective: Castro survived, and the secret war was effectively swallowed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yet, its true legacy was the creation of a vast, unaccountable paramilitary network. The operatives trained participants in the Florida swamps—including men like E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis—and would later surface in some of the darkest chapters of American history, from the hunt for Che Guevara to the Watergate scandal. Tune in to explore how a secret machine built to kill a revolution ended up haunting the United States for the rest of the century.APPENDIX — A Chronology of the Secret WarMarch 1960 — President Eisenhower approves the original CIA covert-action program against Castro that Kennedy will inherit.January 3, 1961 — Eisenhower reportedly suggests to General Lemnitzer that the U.S. "could think of manufacturing something" to justify intervention in Cuba.January 1961 — Kennedy is inaugurated; the U.S. and Cuba sever diplomatic relations.Early 1961 — Richard Bissell directs William Harvey to build a "stand-by" assassination capability; the ZR/RIFLE Executive Action project takes shape.April 17–19, 1961 — Brigade 2506 lands at the Bay of Pigs and is destroyed within three days.April 22, 1961 — Kennedy appoints the Taylor–Kennedy Board of Inquiry (Cuba Study Group).June 13, 1961 — The board reports: "no long-term living with Castro as a neighbor."October 5, 1961 — NSAM 100 directs post-Castro and military-contingency planning.November 3, 1961 — Kennedy authorizes the covert program that becomes Operation Mongoose.November 30, 1961 — Kennedy's memorandum formally establishes Mongoose; Lansdale named Chief of Operations.December 1, 1961 — RFK tells the Special Group Cuba is now top priority; Castro declares, "I am a Marxist-Leninist."January 18–19, 1962 — Lansdale assigns 32 planning tasks; RFK calls Cuba "top priority — all else is secondary."

Decades before Miami became Havana USA, a wave of leftist, radical, working-class women and men from prerevolutionary Cuba crossed the Florida Straits, made Ybor City the global capital of the Cuban cigar industry, and established the foundation of latinidad in the Sunshine State. Located on the eastern edge of Tampa, Ybor City was a neighborhood of cigar workers and Caribbean revolutionaries who sought refuge against the shifting tides of international political turmoil during the early half of the twentieth century.In Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South (University of North Carolina Press, 2023), Historian Sarah McNamara tells the story of immigrant and U.S.-born Latinas/os who organized strikes, marched against fascism, and criticized U.S. foreign policy. While many members of the immigrant generation maintained their dedication to progressive ideals for years to come, those who came of age in the wake of World War II distanced themselves from leftist politics amidst the Red Scare and the wrecking ball of urban renewal. This portrait of the political shifts that defined Ybor City highlights the underexplored role of women's leadership within movements for social and economic justice as it illustrates how people, places, and politics become who and what they are.

Danny McNamara from Embrace joins Mark Millar on the XS Noize Podcast to discuss the band's new album Avalanche, 30 years of Embrace, and why he feels more inspired now than ever. In this conversation, Danny reflects on the band's landmark debut The Good Will Out, the huge comeback with Out Of Nothing, and why new music — not nostalgia — is still what drives him. Danny also talks about the life lesson running through Avalanche: life doesn't wait for you to be ready. He discusses marriage, fatherhood, learning to live in the moment, and how those changes have reshaped his songwriting. Elsewhere, Danny opens up about songs including "Road To Nowhere," "Up In Your Feelings," "Pure O," "Get Out Of My Own Way" and "Coming Home," as well as his creative relationship with his brother Richard McNamara, the stories Embrace fans share with him, and why this chapter feels like a beginning rather than a look back. Listen to episode #288 of the XS Noize Podcast with Danny McNamara from Embrace.

In this episode, Mike McNamara delivers a blunt assessment of America's growing financial instability, comparing the federal government's spending habits to a household headed toward bankruptcy. He explains how persistent deficits, trillions in new borrowing, and interest payments on a national debt approaching $39 trillion are creating an unsustainable cycle. McNamara warns that rising interest rates and inflation could eventually force difficult tradeoffs, with debt obligations threatening to crowd out essential programs such as Medicare and Social Security. He also expresses skepticism that political reform efforts, including the Department of Government Efficiency, have made any meaningful dent in the problem. Against that backdrop, McNamara urges listeners to focus on what they can control: living within their means, reducing dependence on debt, building emergency reserves, and working toward personal financial independence. The episode closes with a sober warning that if elected leaders refuse to confront the debt crisis, the bond market may eventually impose its own painful correction.

Also, a breakdown of why modern office social niceties fail neurodivergent workers, exploring the evolutionary shift from paper ledger bookkeeping to computerized workflows, and why the imminent rise of automation makes creative stand-up comedy a safer career harbor than corporate finance.

Clare's Lorna McNamara says their response to Dublin's fast start was key to securing victory in their opening game of the All Ireland Camogie Championship. Eugene Foudy's charges extended their unbeaten run over The Dubs in 2026 with a 2-16 to 3-10 victory in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg. The Banner trailed early but a strong second quarter saw them lead 1-6 to 0-4 as the sides went in at half time. McNamara says they did well to quell the early Dublin pressure.

Lily McNamara is an intuitive advisor to CEOs, celebrities, and Olympians, and she has spent over 20 years demystifying one of the most misunderstood tools in business: intuition. Not the fluffy, sacred-dance-under-the-full-moon version. The practical, grounded, anyone-can-do-this version that the most successful people in the world quietly use every single day. In this episode, Jennifer and Lily unpack why intuition is simply self-trust in action, how the nervous system and intuition are deeply connected, why slowing down is actually one of the most powerful business strategies available, and how Lily's Purposeful Pause method can be done in three seconds from anywhere, including a bathroom after you pee.

Andrew McNamara, Director of Applied Machine Learning @ Shopify, joins the ELC podcast to share insights on building agentic platforms at scale, like Sidekick, that must keep reliability for its users at the forefront. Andrew describes the building philosophy behind Shopify and what it means to cultivate a culture of prototype-first while prioritizing hiring early-stage talent. We cover Sidekick's development journey and how user feedback impacted its product vision, why evaluation is so important for determining ground truth sets, and the benefit of user-driven use cases. Andrew also dissects how they went about making product design decisions, such as building proactive agents and identifying subagent specializations.   ABOUT ANDREW MCNAMARA Andrew McNamara is Director of Applied Machine Learning at Shopify, where he leads the team behind Shopify Sidekick, an AI co-founder that gives merchants access to the e-commerce expertise they need to run and grow their business. With 16 years of experience building AI assistants, he brings a rare combination of applied research depth and production-scale thinking to some of the hardest problems in AI: getting systems to work reliably for people who depend on them. Andrew's work pushes Shopify to measure AI quality by whether it achieves what the user set out to do, a core standard in building AI that merchants trust. Outside Shopify, he runs Setting North, a small Canadian maple syrup brand built on the same platform he helps make for everyone else.   Unblocked: The context engine your coding agents are missing. Give your coding agents the context your best engineers have. Your agents can read code, but they don't know how your team works. Rules and MCPs give access to information but not understanding. That's why you still have to tell them where to look and what to look for.

The conversation covers the company's goal of aggressively growing its resource base toward a billion ounces, backed by roughly $50 million in treasury.

Something is going wrong in childhood, and most of us can feel it. We're rushing kids forward and wondering why they're struggling to become themselves. In this powerful conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Deborah MacNamara to unpack what children actually need to grow: deep rest in relationship, wide-open play, and the freedom to feel their full range of emotions. Drawing from Rest, Play, Grow, Deborah explains why maturity is not a guarantee, why play is the birthplace of personhood, and why “tears of futility” are not a problem to fix but a process that helps children become resilient human beings . This episode will change how you see tantrums, learning, and even your role as a parent—offering a steady, sane path forward in a world that keeps pushing kids too far, too fast.

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens from Portland, where he spent the weekend with his son and attended NCAA Tournament games—including Gonzaga's elimination, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The guys dive into what makes March Madness special, highlighted by a classic David vs. Goliath battle between Arkansas and High Point. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle as the Mariners head into Opening Day with a surge of offensive production after a sluggish spring. The guys highlight breakout signs from Cole Young and Dom Canzone, while also addressing concerns around JP Crawford's injury, Cal Raleigh's uneven World Baseball Classic impact, and roster decisions in the infield and rotation. Mitch welcomes Steve Phillips for his annual Opening Day visit, where the longtime MLB insider says the World Baseball Classic has players—especially hitters—more game-ready than ever to start the season. Phillips is bullish on the Mariners, calling this their best opportunity to win the division and make a deep run, while also addressing concerns around pitching durability and bullpen volatility. The conversation expands league-wide, with Phillips explaining why the Dodgers are both dominant and good for baseball, why Shohei Ohtani remains a near-lock MVP, and ultimately predicting a Dodgers–Mariners World Series. Mitch and Puck open with some leftover tension from a previous discussion before diving into Mitch's surprising admission that the World Baseball Classic didn't resonate with him. Mitch explains that, despite the talent on the field, it doesn't feel meaningful to the American baseball audience—pointing to player opt-outs and inconsistent participation.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over Slot Steve Phillips | MLB Network / SiriusXM / Former Mets GM Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren'ts / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Portland, Gonzaga's Exit, and the Birthday Game; Mitch checks in from Portland after watching Gonzaga get bounced—and rolls into a loaded birthday trivia game. 15:49 | Mariners No-Table: Spring Bats Wake Up as Opening Day — The Mariners' offense shows late life in spring training as Opening Day looms—but questions remain about lineup depth, health, and early-season readiness. 41:04 | Steve Phillips: Opening Day Buzz, Mariners Hype, and Dodgers Dominance: Steve Phillips says this might be the Mariners' best shot yet—while the Dodgers loom as baseball's overwhelming favorite. 1:02:38 | KJ-Aren'ts with Jason Puckett: WBC Doesn't Land for Mitch — And It Gets Tense; Mitch admits he couldn't get into the World Baseball Classic—and it sparks real tension in a separate conversation that clearly struck a nerve. 1:24:00 | Other Stuff Segment: Mariners Opening Day expectations, World Series odds and roster questions, Arozarena/Raleigh tension resolved, March Madness Speedo distraction, Brandon Roy response to Garfield allegations, WNBA reaches new CBA, Seahawks RB situation per John Schneider, Michael B.
