“The first year here, you're going to hate the Israeli government. The second year here, you're going to hate the Palestinian leadership. The third year here, you're going to hate yourself. And then it's a good idea that you leave.”In this episode you'll meet Phoebe Greenwood, journalist, author, and former war correspondent whose debut book Vulture is a speedy satire of the war news industry and its moral blind spots based in Gaza during the 2012 war. On the menu is; jam drop biscuits, Aussie potato scallops, and Palestinian musakhen made with love. Phoebe's social cause is Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate through the link, or search map.org.uk. Medical Aid for Palestinians is warning of a deepening malnutrition emergency in Gaza. 44% of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers screened by one of its local partners are suffering from severe malnutrition and urgently need to be referred for medical treatment.This alarming data was reported by Ard El Insan (AEI), a longstanding local humanitarian partner of MAP, which has been delivering nutrition and medical support to Palestinians across Gaza. Until last week, AEI operated a medical point in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, which provided essential care and nutrition services to around 200 malnourished women and children every day. But following forced displacement orders issued by the Israeli military on Sunday 20 July, the medical point was forced to shut down. Despite the massive disruption caused by the forced displacement orders and the ongoing siege, MAP continues to operate in Gaza – though our ability to deliver services is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous. We are still trying to operate eight other nutrition medical points across southern Gaza. Send us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

Sociologist and political economist Will Davies joins the show to talk about his recent forays into Faragist TikTok, and what it tells us about Britain's online habits, and how it's influencing contemporary politics. Will talks to us about how the For You Page became the dominant organisational system for using social media, and how this has created an anti-social environment. He also explains how online induced paranoia seeped into the real world, convincing people that they are being scammed and persistently lied to, resulting in an angrier, more confrontational politics that nobody, including Nigel Farage, knows how to contain or control in the long term.

The book (co-written with Rosa Liu and Ashley Smith) does an excellent job of looking at the actions of the Chinese state from the perspective of workers and marginalised groups to produce a picture of a capitalist nation that is not simply 'the same' as other nations, but not all that different either.The full episode is out longest Radical Read yet, and covers a range of topics from the conditions and struggles of China's working class both inside the workplace and out, to women's and LGBT+ rights. We also talk about China's relationship to its "internal peripheries" of Tibet and Xinjiang, as well as its international relationships in Africa, Israel and, of course, with the US.

This week, we're joined by friend of the show and returning champion Eleanor Janega, as well as her 'We're Not So Different' podcast co-host Luke Waters, to talk about Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th century Benedictine Abbess. Known for her religious visions, and the writing, sermons and music that emerged from them, Hildegard is often considered a polymath, and as one of the founders of german scientific natural history. We talk about Hildegard's place in high medieval society, the breadth of her writing - from religious commentary to linguistics and natural science - and of course, whether she had the spirit of a Poster. ----- PALESTINE  AID LINKS You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below.

What if your end-of-life journey could be as dignified and peaceful as possible? Guided by my two decades of experience as a hospice and oncology nurse, I invite you to a candid conversation about Medical Aid in Dying (MAID), also known as Physician Assisted Death or Death with Dignity. This discussion aims to demystify the process, highlighting the distinction from euthanasia and exploring why some individuals find solace in choosing this path. With stringent criteria including a terminal illness prognosis of six months or less and the patient's ability to self-administer medication, MAID represents a complex yet empowering option for those facing the end of life. We also navigate the wider landscape of end-of-life choices, shedding light on alternatives like palliative sedation and voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED). Each offers its own pathway to maintaining dignity and control during life's final chapter. The pivotal role of a death doula is discussed, emphasizing thoughtful planning and emotional support. For those contemplating MAID, critical questions are posed to encourage reflection on fears, options, and the necessity of spiritual and emotional support. This episode is designed to empower you with knowledge, enabling informed and personal decisions free from external pressure.   We dive into: 00:00 Introduction to the Good Death Podcast 00:39 Understanding Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) 04:14 Legal Aspects and Criteria for MAID 05:56 Reasons People Choose MAID 08:19 Addressing Fears and Concerns 13:31 Alternative End-of-Life Options 15:57 The Role of Doulas and Support Systems 17:00 Making Informed Decisions 21:47 Invitation to the Good Death Book Club 23:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts If you found this podcast helpful, please Rate, Review, & Follow so we can reach more people.   Links mentioned in this episode: Buy The Good Death Book The GOOD DEATH GOOD LIFE Live Monthly BOOK CLUB and Q&A Doulagivers Institute 80-90% of a positive end of life depends on these two things: Knowing the basic skills on how to care for someone at the end of life and planning ahead.  Register for FREE to learn more: THE GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB EXPERIENCE: 12 MONTH FREE DEATH AND DYING COURSE GET THE GOOD DEATH BOOK Here More about what we do at Doulagivers Institute - Click here!

Dr. Phil continues his exploration of the controversial issue of Medical Aid in Dying, in which a competent adult with a terminal illness receives a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life—legal in only 11 parts of the country. He speaks with Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, New York State Senator for the 23rd District, who says she fights to make Medical Aid in Dying legal in her state. He also speaks with Kim Callinan, President and CEO of Compassion and Choices, an organization dedicated to advocating for end-of-life options and helping implement medical aid in dying laws nationwide. The debate intensifies when Dr. Phil introduces Brian Johnston, author of Death As A Salesman: What's Wrong With Assisted Suicide, who argues that Medical Aid in Dying does not help, but rather facilitates the suicide of vulnerable adults.

He speaks with Meg, a 47-year-old woman living with chronic pain from a permanent spinal cord injury. Because she doesn't qualify under existing laws, Meg shares her decision to medically end her life at a facility in Switzerland. Dr. Phil also hears from Meg's best friend, Kelly, who insists on being by Meg's side during her final moments. Plus, Dr. Phil meets Daren and Amy, parents who watched their vibrant 24-year-old daughter—a gifted ballet dancer—receive a terminal cancer diagnosis and endure unbearable pain. They say she wanted to pursue Medical Aid in Dying, but because it was illegal in their state, they were forced to watch her suffer until the end.

On this episode of Stinchfield, we take aim at the Left’s latest rebranding scheme: the push for assisted suicide, now deceptively packaged as the "Medical Aid in Dying Act." Don’t let the sanitized name fool you—this is state-sponsored suicide wrapped in a lab coat. We expose how the radical Left is working overtime to normalize death as a solution to suffering, depression, disability, and even economic hardship. It’s not compassion—they’re fueling a dangerous suicide culture that tells the vulnerable their lives aren’t worth living. From slippery slope policies to a chilling disregard for mental health red flags, we’ll lay out how this agenda quietly devalues human life, one law at a time. Plus, we’ll ask the hard question: why is the government so eager to make it easier to die than to live? This isn’t mercy—it’s moral collapse. Tune in, and don’t miss the truth the mainstream media refuses to tell. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits including a parasite cleanse that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency.
