NXIVM is back in the headlines after Allison Mack's new podcast — but for survivors like Sarah Edmondson, the story never ended.She was one of the faces of The Vow on HBO — the woman who blew the whistle on NXIVM's “self-help” empire that turned into a full-blown notorious cult.This episode is about what happened after the escape: healing from coercive control, rebuilding trust, and learning to believe your own voice again.Sarah opens up about the psychological hangover of leaving NXIVM — how fear, shame, and identity unravel once the system is gone.We unpack what freedom looks like after indoctrination, how cultish behavior shows up in everyday systems, and the slow process of learning safety again.It's a conversation about resilience, humor, and the long road back to self-trust.If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, here you go! https://podcast.allisonhare.com/post/274What You Will Learn:How Sarah Edmondson escaped the NXIVM cult and what freedom really looked likeThe psychology of coercive control and how to spot it earlyWhy rebuilding trust is the hardest part after leaving a cultHow cult dynamics show up in modern coaching and wellness spacesHow to protect your agency without losing your sense of belongingResources MentionedPodcast: A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson & Nippy AmesPre-Order new book: A Little Bit CultyThe Vow (HBO docuseries)Scarred by Sarah Edmondson (book)Sarah Edmondson's website – sarahedmondson.comNotable Quotables (from Sarah Edmondson)“I see a woman who's trying to right a wrong.” (02:20)“When you're in a cult, you don't think you're in a cult.” (13:34)“Black-and-white thinking is culty thinking.” (11:58)“Freedom isn't a moment.

This month's episode of the Three Ravens Bestiary is all about one of our favourite topics - Wargs and Werewolves!We start with J.R.R. Tolkien, exploring how the species of intelligent wolf he invented - the Warg - combined Old English and Old Norse words and ideas, bringing different traditions of werewolf belief crashing into the public consciousness.It is this, brought into monster movies over time, that really created the 'Modern' werewolf.Though where does the werewolf's story begin?We're throwing a broad net on this one, including discussions of Skinwalkers and Wendigos, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the first-ever "man beast" in the form of Enkidu; we touch on the Classical myth of King Lycaon of Arcadia, transformed into a wolf due to his inhuman transgressions, and discuss how the Great European Werewolf Panic, which lasted for over 300 years, changed folk belief about the links between Black Magic and werewolves forever.It's a grand and sweeping story, and goes to explain a few things about why werewolves are pretty much always scary, why Wargs matter so much, and how modern cinema-goers are maybe a bit more like Odin than they probably realise.So, pull up your Wolf Pants, leave the silver bullets at home, and let's get lupine! Aroooo!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

We take a frank look at The Roses, a sharp, dark-tinged romance that turns a dream house into a proxy war for pride, ambition, and resentment. Chemistry carries the story, while tone shifts, pacing, and a volatile finale spark debate about how far the satire should go.• Modern reimagining of War of the Roses• Lead performances that mix bite with vulnerability• Dark comedy balanced with uneasy dinner-party tension• Ambition vs failure as the marriage's pressure point• Supporting cast adding levity and occasional whiplash• Pacing concerns in the third act escalationLetterbox'd Synopsis: Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo's career nosedives while Ivy's own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.

Our society has neglected to raise boys to be great men. Modern culture has abandoned traditional rites of passage that demand a departure from boyhood and a transition into manhood. This stark reality is a problem that Alan Hahn not only observed but is addressing right now with a special ministry aimed at forging purpose and a brotherhood for boys. Boys, who are eagerly learning to become men of God. Alan is the CEO and founder of Iron Academy, a school that provides curriculum, community, and training for young men who seek courage, conviction, and honor rooted in the Word of God. Iron Academy is a Bible-based pathway for cultivating healthy, nurturing, and powerful manhood the way that God designed it. TAKEAWAYSCultural decline can be linked to the broad decline of strength in modern menModern culture has ‘dumbed down' what it means to be a manThe erosion of Biblical manhood ultimately hurts women and children in a variety of waysOne step men can take every day to become men of God: read the Bible and teach it to your children

John and Christian discuss how "loaded language" within cults and charismatic movements creates communication barriers, spiritual elitism, and moral confusion. They explore how words like faith, doubt, spirit-filled, and Jezebel spirit carry entire doctrines that alienate others and discourage honest inquiry. Drawing from their experiences leaving high-control religious groups, they show how language can shape identity and restrict thought—turning simple words into tools of control.Together they examine how even well-meaning Christians can drift into self-righteous rhetoric and "church-speak" that isolates them from both outsiders and fellow believers. The conversation connects biblical examples, psychology of cult speech, and cultural references like Harry Potter to show how prideful communication dehumanizes others and undermines the gospel's inclusivity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Autonomy-Supportive Parenting with Dr. Emily Edlynn, PhD In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy Podcast, host Christopher Robbins interviews Dr. Emily Edlynn, a licensed clinical psychologist and author of "Autonomy-Supportive Parenting." Dr. Edlynn explains how autonomy-supportive parenting, based on self-determination theory, nurtures three fundamental human needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. She discusses how modern parenting culture's intensive approach often leads to controlling behaviors that undermine children's development, and provides practical strategies for parents to foster independence while reducing parental burnout. The conversation covers real- world applications of these principles, including how to help children solve their own problems and develop financial independence. Episode Highlights 00:00:10: Host Christopher Robbins introduces the podcast and guest Dr. Emily Edlynn, highlighting her credentials as a licensed clinical psychologist and author. 00:02:06: Light-hearted exchange about parenting experience with Christopher mentioning he's a father of nine children. 00:02:50: Dr. Edlynn defines autonomy-supportive parenting as a science-based approach that nurtures three fundamental human needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. 00:04:07: Discussion of the three core needs, with Christopher seeking clarification on each component. 00:04:40: Dr. Edlynn explains relatedness as the foundational need involving belonging, connection, and feeling understood and accepted. 00:05:14: Connection made to Daniel Pink's book "Drive" and its relationship to motivation theory. 00:06:17: Christopher acknowledges the challenges of parenting, describing it as sometimes being "a grind." 00:06:28: Dr. Edlynn identifies two primary barriers: overwhelming parental stress (declared a public health crisis) and intensive parenting culture. 00:08:10: Discussion of how control is the antithesis of autonomy-supportive parenting. 00:08:33: Dr. Edlynn explains how parents often do too much for their children, preventing skill development and confidence building. 00:09:36: Christopher relates the advice to leadership principles applicable beyond parenting. 00:10:25: Christopher shares his parenting approach of encouraging children to solve problems independently. 00:10:56: Dr. Edlynn validates Christopher's approach based on its effectiveness. 00:11:34: Humorous exchange about background music making parental advice more appealing. 00:11:48: Christopher asks for key autonomy supportive strategies to implement immediately. 00:11:56: Dr. Edlynn provides specific strategies including expecting more independence and expressing trust in children. 00:13:28: Application of strategies to a real scenario involving a child who needs to become more financially self-reliant. 00:13:47: Dr. Edlynn walks through the process of addressing the financial independence issue collaboratively. 00:15:00: Christopher acknowledges learning new parenting approaches after 33 years of experience. 00:15:38: Discussion of how autonomy supportive parenting relates to good leadership principles. 00:16:19: Exploration of short-term and long-term benefits of autonomy-supportive parenting. 00:16:35: Dr. Edlynn outlines benefits including reduced stress for parents and increased confidence for children. 00:17:25: Christopher reflects on accepting that children will grow up to be themselves, not replicas of their parents. 00:17:54: Dr. Edlynn emphasizes the importance of seeing children for who they truly are. 00:18:01: Acknowledgment that parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. 00:18:15: Important clarification that parents don't need to be autonomy supportive every moment to be effective. 00:19:12: Dr. Edlynn shares her contact information and online presence. 00:19:24: Closing remarks and podcast subscription information. Key Takeaways Autonomy supportive parenting focuses on nurturing three fundamental needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Modern intensive parenting culture often leads to controlling behaviors that undermine children's development. Parents should ask children "What are you thinking?" before offering solutions to encourage problem- solving skills. Expecting more independent behaviors from children reduces parental stress while building children's confidence. Approach children's mistakes with curiosity rather than judgment to maintain connection and facilitate learning. Scaffolding approach works best - implementing changes step by step rather than expecting immediate complete independence. Autonomy-supportive parenting leads to higher self-esteem, better academic achievement, and stronger social relationships in children. Parents don't need to be perfect - creating a general environment of autonomy support is what matters most. Quotable Moments "All of us, regardless of our age or where we live in the world, we thrive when we have these three needs met." "We feel like this anxiety that we have to curate this perfect life for our kids. And so what we end up doing is we do too much for our kids as a way to love them." "I want you to pretend that there's no one here to solve this problem and your life depends on solving this problem. And I bet you can solve it." "We just undermine or underestimate our children. We underestimate what they have to offer and they'll feel that over time." "One of the best things we can do is let go of our image of them and really see them for who they are." "Parenting is not a hundred yard dash. It's a really long ultra marathon." "You do not have to be autonomy supportive every minute of every day to be an autonomy-supportive parent."

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Steve are joined by two of football's most iconic gaffers — Tony Pulis and Mick McCarthy. Between them, they've seen it all: Premier League survival battles, international tournaments, and the changing face of English football. The lads dig deep into what it really means to be a manager — from adapting your tactics to your players, to dealing with the press, to that gut-wrenching moment when you know “the game's gone.”Tony opens up about his no-nonsense days at Stoke, why long grass was a tactical weapon, and the dark art of winning ugly.

Here's a truth most car dealerships don't want to admit: people don't hate buying cars. They hate buying cars from salespeople who make the customer experience painful. That's the challenge Brendan Carlington from Mount Pleasant, Michigan brought to me on a recent episode of Ask Jeb. Brendan jumped back into auto sales this year after spending time in other industries and he noticed something big. Traditional sales positions are disappearing. Customers can research everything online, get quotes instantly, and even start negotiations with a click. What's missing is training that teaches sales pros how to create an experience people actually enjoy. The vehicle isn't the differentiator. The experience is. Why the Experience Matters More Than the Product I told Brendan something I have felt for a long time. Customers already know what they want before they walk into the dealership. They have seen every trim, every feature, every price point. What they do not know is whether they will enjoy the buying process. That is where you, the salesperson, become the product. Your job is not just to sell the car. Your job is to guide your customer through the process, reduce friction, build trust, and make them feel confident that they are making the right decision. When I buy a car, I already know what I want. If the experience is miserable, I put it off. If I know it will be smooth, engaging, and human, I buy immediately. Modern buyers are craving a guide, not a grinder. The Power of Frameworks Brendan had a simple but powerful philosophy. He said there are three conditions to win: sell a car, give the customer a great experience, and make as much money as possible without compromising those things. That mindset is exactly what great sales frameworks are built on. A framework gives you rails to run on while keeping you flexible in the conversation. It is not a script. It is a repeatable system that lets you adapt to the customer while staying disciplined. When you take complex sales processes and make them simple and repeatable, you create reliability and confidence. That principle is at the heart of fanatical prospecting and objection handling. Learning to simplify complex ideas into actionable steps separates average salespeople from top performers. How to Become the Trusted Guide If you are in car sales or any sales role where buyers can research online, here is the playbook: Unpack your customer's fears. They walk in with emotional baggage from past experiences. Acknowledge it. Ask better questions. The more they talk, the better they feel. When the customer does most of the talking, they have a good experience. Create a VIP moment. Buying a car is a milestone, not a transaction. Build a repeatable system. Know your greeting, discovery questions, and closing flow cold and practice it until it is second nature. Using systems that focus on outcomes, such as first-time appointments, conversion rates, and pipeline velocity, makes the difference between a salesperson who spins their wheels and one who consistently drives results. Practicing this every day builds the kind of discipline that leads to consistent performance and customer loyalty. Making It Fun Again Brendan shared something I loved. Before car sales, he worked in the Vegas nightlife industry and he asked, “Why can't buying a car be fun?” That is the kind of thinking that transforms an industry. Fun does not mean loud music or strobe lights. It means energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm. When people enjoy buying from you, they tell everyone they know. If your dealership or team has lost that spark, it is time to rebuild your sales culture. Focus on making the customer experience unforgettable. Strong sales leadership and coaching techniques help teams focus on guiding the buyer through the process instead of just pushing products. Developing those skills consistently pays huge dividends in customer retention and referrals.

Modern athletes know that strength and endurance alone aren't enough. The ability to generate power efficiently, resist injury, and recover quickly depends just as much on the health of connective tissues—tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix (ECM)—as on muscle strength itself. Yet, these vital tissues have long been misunderstood as relatively static and untrainable. The latest research proves otherwise: tendons and ligaments are remarkably adaptive, capable of remodeling and strengthening in response to targeted loading and proper nutrition. The white paper presented in this podcast distills more than a decade of cutting-edge research into a clear, evidence-based framework for improving connective tissue health and performance. Drawing on the work of leading scientists and sports medicine experts, it explains how short bouts of specific mechanical loading—paired with precise nutritional strategies—stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance tendon stiffness, and accelerate recovery. The paper also details the biological mechanisms behind these adaptations, offering a practical roadmap for both elite and dedicated recreational climbers. Whether you're looking to climb harder, rehab a connective tissue injury, or simply increase your resilience so as to stay injury-free longer, this research-driven guide provides the tools to do it. Listeners (and readers) will learn how to structure brief daily tendon-training sessions, time nutrient intake to maximize collagen synthesis, and avoid common anti-adaptive mistakes that slow recovery. Backed by peer-reviewed science and real-world application, this paper redefines how athletes can train smarter—and perform stronger—through the science of connective tissue optimization.

Summary In this episode, Justin Townsend and Adam Berkelmans dig into the ancient first bite traditions of hunting—those raw, fire-lit moments when hunters taste the animal they've just harvested. They explore the history, meaning, and modern interpretations of eating heart, liver, or tenderloin in the field, weaving in cultural rituals, practical cooking tips, and stories that reveal why this primal meal still matters today. - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Art of Venison Sausage Making⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Links: The Perception of the Environment The Best Venison Heart Recipe: Japanese-Inspired Heart Skewers Curried Steak and Kidney Pie Making Memorable Meals in the Field Egyptian Duck Liver Sandwiches (Kebda Eskandarani) Takeaways: The first bite after a hunt is more than a meal, it's a moment of gratitude, connection, and respect for the animal and the land. Across time and cultures, hunters have shared this ritual, turning survival into ceremony and instinct into reverence. Ancient traditions from the Arctic to Africa reveal that eating first is both a form of nourishment and a homage to the hunt itself. The practice carries four meanings: practicality, honor, connection, and gratitude. Organ meats, such as heart and liver, spoil quickly, making them both a practical and symbolic choice for the first meal. The act of eating first honors the hunter's effort and courage while recognizing the life taken. It also deepens the connection between hunter, animal, and environment, reminding us that hunting is part of a shared cycle. Gratitude transforms the meal into a moment of reflection, reinforcing respect over pride. Modern hunters continue the ritual through simple, fire-cooked meals in the field. A tenderloin or heart sizzling over a campfire carries as much meaning today as it did thousands of years ago. These first meals are often cooked with minimal tools—just salt, oil, and flame, proving that simplicity carries the most authenticity. A fresh-cut organ or tenderloin eaten outdoors becomes a lasting memory of the hunt and a story worth retelling. The episode also explores how social media and trophy photos can blur the line between respect and display. Cooking in the field brings the focus back to purpose, humility, and connection instead of validation. Adam and Justin share their own first-bite experiences, from heart skewers to quick tenderloin tacos, proving that ritual and flavor can coexist. They encourage hunters to start or revive their own first-bite traditions, turning every harvest into a meal that matters.

What if the pillars of your faith were built on misconceptions? In this episode, I unravel the threads of traditional Christian practices to uncover the true essence of the Gospel. This episode promises to challenge your understanding of what it means to be 'saved', moving beyond the mainstream notions of altar calls and the rapture. We dive into the historical shifts since the 1800s that have shaped modern Christianity, questioning whether these changes have truly aligned with biblical teachings. We aim to redefine your concept of salvation, revealing it as a journey of healing, preservation, and deliverance that fosters genuine spiritual growth and transformation.Key Takeaways:The real gospel centers around God's presence among us, emphasizing transformation and revival in this life rather than focusing solely on the afterlife.Modern salvation practices can often mislead by prioritizing self-centered elements over the communal and divine aspects of the gospel.The early Christian message placed a strong emphasis on the resurrection and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth, offering a powerful hope for the future.A return to teaching the gospel as a message of God coming down to help us can spur true revival in churches and communities.Understanding the biblical context and refocusing on divine presence, rather than only personal salvation, can bridge divides within our society

We explore how space and time form a single fabric, testing our daily beliefs through questions about free-fall, black holes, speed, and momentum to reveal what models get right and where they break. To help us, we're excited to have our friend David Theriault, a science and sci-fi afficionado; and our resident astrophysicist, Rachel Losacco, to talk about practical exploration in space and time. They'll even unpack a few concerns they have about how space and time were depicted in the movie Interstellar (2014).Highlights:• Introduction: Why fundamentals beat shortcuts in science and AI• Time as experience versus physical parameter• Plato's ideals versus Aristotle's change as framing tools• Free-fall, G-forces, and what we actually feel• Gravity wells, curvature, and moving through space-time• Black holes, tidal forces, and spaghettification• Momentum and speed: Laser probe, photon momentum, and braking limits• Doppler shifts, time dilation, and length contraction• Why light's speed stays constant across frames• Modeling causality and preparing for the next paradigmThis episode about space and time is the second in our series about metaphysics and modern AI. Each topic in the series is leading to the fundamental question, "Should AI try to think?" Step away from your keyboard and enjoy this journey with us.

Welcome to the Women Petprenuers Podcast Book Club episode, your hosts Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux dive into the classic dystopian novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Together, they reflect on what it's like to read this nearly 100-year-old book as adults, comparing their current insights with memories of high school English class. The discussion touches on the book's heavy themes, its portrayal of society, and how some of Huxley's imagined future eerily parallels our own world today. Both Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux share their honest struggles with finishing the book, critique the characters and the narrative, and consider its relevance for modern readers. They also chat about the challenges of revisiting old classics and hint at lighter, more humorous reads for upcoming book club sessions. If you've ever battled your way through a dense classic or wondered how dystopian fiction holds up over time, you won't want to miss this thoughtful and relatable conversation!

Modern parenthood wasn't meant to be a solo project, yet so many new moms and dads are trying to figure it out in isolation. We scroll, read, and listen to every parenting podcast, but at the end of the day, it still feels lonely. The truth is, no amount of information can replace the transformation that happens in community.In this episode of the Better Relationships After Baby Podcast, Chelsea and Mike dig into the power of group connection — why real change happens faster when parents have support, accountability, and belonging. They unpack what science and psychology show us about group learning and why joining a Mom Group or Dad Group can radically shift how couples communicate and cope in early parenthood.Why you can't self-help your way out of postpartum lonelinessThe science of co-regulation and why community calms your nervous systemHow group learning builds real-life communication skills (thanks, Bandura!)The difference between therapy and postpartum coaching and how they work togetherWhy peer support and accountability make new habits stickHow virtual groups for parents create connection, even when you can't leave the houseWhat happens when one partner spirals, and how community creates a ripple of healing for the whole familyChelsea and Mike also share personal stories from their own experience running online parent groups for the past five years. From the first-time mom who finally said, “I'm not broken , I just needed other women who get it,” to the new dad who realized that he didn't have to fix everything, just show up...these are the moments that remind us we were never meant to do this alone.Research continues to show that new parent support groups lower rates of postpartum depression and anxiety for both mothers and partners. Group coaching allows couples to learn and practice new skills in a safe, encouraging environment. Unlike anonymous online threads, a guided virtual group combines real relationships, evidence-based tools, and accountability that actually creates growth.In a season where life can feel like a blur of bottles, diapers, and exhaustion, having a space that's just for you, one that helps you regulate, reflect, and reconnect, isn't a luxury. It's a necessity.Chelsea and Mike explain how postpartum coaching helps couples after baby rebuild their foundation. When stress runs high, our brains go into survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze. But in a group setting, you learn how to interrupt those patterns, communicate effectively, and show up as teammates instead of adversaries. It's where you can practice the conversations you've been avoiding, get feedback from peers who are in the same season, and walk away with language you can use that same night at home.If you've ever ended the day back-to-back with your partner, each on your phones, wondering why connection feels so hard, then this episode is for you. Whether you're an expecting couple, new parents in the thick of it, or a few years in and still trying to find your rhythm, community is the missing piece most families are craving.Chelsea and Mike's Mom Group (Mondays at 7PM ET) and Dad Group (Tuesdays at 7PM ET) are small, virtual groups designed for real-life parents who want practical tools, a sense of belonging, and conversations that go deeper than social media highlight reels.Week One is free so there's no pressure, no performance, just a chance to see what it feels like to be part of a community built around growth and honesty.Tune in and learn why the future of strong families starts with strong communities.Questions?

In this episode, LVN Board Members Keith Maziarek and Justin Ergler sit down with Andrew Bayman, Partner at King and Spalding, for a wide-ranging discussion about what it means to think like an owner in the modern legal marketplace. This conversation reveals how law firms are transforming the business of law—replacing the billable hour with data-driven models that balance client outcomes and firm profitability. The group explores what it takes to make alternative fee arrangements succeed, why transparency builds stronger partnerships, and how collaboration between lawyers and business professionals fuels innovation. They also discuss the courage to defend value rather than default to discounts and the growing importance of understanding a client's business as deeply as the law itself.

Classification and Dating of Meteorites 3.  Cosmochemist Greg Brennecka details meteorite classifications, emphasizing chondrites—primitive, unmelted samples representing the early molecular cloud and serving as the "baby book" of the solar system—whereas acondrites have been melted and often come from differentiated or disrupted planets. Brennecka specializes in Calcium Aluminum-rich Inclusions (CAIs) found within chondrites, which are used as a precise clock to date the solar system at 4.567 billion years old, and another stunning type is the pallasite, believed to originate from the core-mantle boundary of a planet and featuring spectacular olivine crystals in an iron matrix. Modern cosmochemistry relies on techniques like solution chemistry, where samples are dissolved in acid to precisely measure isotopes and elements. 1958

In 1905, eight-year-old Kenneth Beasley, the son of North Carolina State Senator Samuel Beasley, walked out of his one-room schoolhouse in Poplar Branch, Currituck County—and vanished. What followed was one of the most haunting and controversial cases in North Carolina history. A bitter feud between two respected families, a trial built on circumstantial evidence, and a man's death that left more questions than answers. Over a century later, the disappearance of the senator's son remains unsolved. In this episode of Southern Mysteries, explore the loss, suspicion, and silence that still echo through the story of Kenneth Beasley—a mystery that has never let go of the Carolina coast.

How was the history of Russia made by its women through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and defeat? Join us for an engaging tour of Russia through the lives of its women. Journalist Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union in 1990. She wouldn't return for nearly two decades, and when she did, she found a country significantly changed. The Soviet Union had tried to portray itself as being on the vanguard of world feminism; today, Russia presents itself as the last bastion of conservative Christian values. How did that happen? What happened to the women of the Soviet era, who served as doctors, engineers and scientists? How, she asks, did they get replaced with women who are just desperate to marry rich and become stay-at-home mothers? It's a topic she explores in her new book Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy. From her own great grandmothers, who were physicians, to Lenin's lover, who was a feminist revolutionary, to the hundreds of thousands of young Soviet women to fought in the Second World War to the millions of single mothers who repopulated the devastated country—and onward to Pussy Riot and Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Ioffe reveals the failure of the social experimentation of the Soviet era and how it paved the way for the revanchist policies of Vladimir Putin.   Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

Modern culture tells men to “man up” – but not for their own sakes. In today's episode, I expose how society defines masculinity for the benefit of women, and why this does men a disservice. The dominant culture does not want strong, prosperous, masculine men – but it's time for men to reclaim their self-definition.

Modern medicine has made it possible to raise the dead. As long as the person who has died, did so very recently. So far, no one that has been dead for days has been raised from the dead. There have been attempts through history to accomplish this feat though. Man has tried to use electricity to bring dead nerves back to life. Authors like Mary Shelley have written classic tomes about man's pursuit of this endeavor and ultimate success. But that was fiction. As they say, with God, all things are possible and one of those things is the raising of the dead. There are stories throughout the Bible of people being raised from the dead, even after they have been dead for several days. For humanity, the ultimate story of resurrection represents the foundation of salvation. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios
