Is regifting a thoughtful way to give something a new home, or one of the rudest things you can do? We dive into the etiquette minefield of passing on unwanted presents, the rules around when it's acceptable and the moments when regifting can come back to bite you. Plus, hair transplants are becoming more popular than ever, but there's a warning every man considering one should hear first. Imagine getting paid simply for turning up to school. A new approach is rewarding kids for attending classes, sparking a huge debate over whether financial incentives are the key to improving attendance or teaching children the wrong lesson and why you should think twice before putting your bare skin on an aeroplane seat - we also reminisce about the time when we offended Jessie J SO BADLY in front of a Madden Brother!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Engedi, near the Dead Sea, is a place of many caves, in one of which David hid from Saul, who wanted to kill him. However, Saul chose the very same cave when he needed to do something privately. David's men urged him to take the opportunity to kill his enemy, and David was able to creep so close to Saul that, with a stroke of his knife, he cut off the fringe of Saul's robe. But would David now act to make himself king by ending Saul's life? And if not, how could God's promise ever be fulfilled that David would rule Israel?

Text the show! What happens when a morally well-intentioned system produces terrible results?Chad begins with the case of Keith Lott, a 47-year-old New Jersey man whose family says they spent two days fighting an organ procurement organization over whether his organs could be recovered after his death.But that story opens a much larger question.America desperately needs kidneys. Living donation has remained essentially flat for decades. Dialysis costs taxpayers enormous sums. And yet federal law prohibits compensating the one person without whom a transplant cannot happen: the donor.Why?Chad traces the answer back to the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, explores the strange contradictions in what Americans can legally be compensated for donating, and asks whether our moral assumptions have actually produced the outcomes we intended.The episode examines Iran's controversial compensated kidney system, Israel's successful use of non-cash incentives, the danger of exploiting low-income donors, the economics of dialysis and transplantation, and current proposals for carefully regulated donor compensation.The larger idea is what Chad calls “incentive morality.”What systems actually get people to do the most good?Because civilizations aren't built by wishing human beings behaved differently. They're built by designing institutions that work with human nature while protecting freedom, dignity and consent.And sometimes the moral thing isn't demanding better people.It's building a better system.

EPISODE 737 - Ben Schenkman - Challenging readers' conventional thinking and the complexities of moral dilemmasIn this engaging conversation, author and voice actor Ben Schenkman returns to chat about his creative journey, his latest release My Brother's Keeper, and the many realities of being an independent author in today's publishing landscape.Ben opens with a personal story about his family's love of vintage guitars—a nod to his musical roots and his identical twin brother's collection connected to their Woodstock‐era mother. From there, the conversation evolves into one of the most honest explorations of indie author marketing you'll hear. Ben breaks down what really works when promoting your books and what doesn't, drawing from firsthand experience running Facebook, Amazon, and BookBub ads. His message is simple and refreshing: books sell books, and advertising a single title rarely pays off until an author has multiple works available.Ben shares practical, field‑tested advice inspired by David Gaughran's “Demystifying Facebook Ads” series, explaining why Facebook remains one of the few ad platforms that can still produce results—if authors learn to take control and target the right readers. He then contrasts ads with BookBub Featured Deals, describing how well-timed offers can create lasting exposure, especially for multi‑book series. But long before any ads go live, he emphasizes, authors must focus on collecting authentic reviews, not just from friends and family but from real readers whose balanced feedback adds legitimacy.The heart of the episode revolves around My Brother's Keeper, the darkly magical first installment in The Cycle of Ash. Set in an alternate New Haven, Connecticut, the story blends Jewish mysticism, urban fantasy, and noir detective grit. Private investigator Max Asher returns home to bury his twin brother—and quickly discovers the death may not be what it seems. The novel's emotional depth, grounded world‑building, and spiritual underpinnings reflect Ben's personal connection to his Jewish heritage and his lived experiences as a twin.Ben also pulls back the curtain on his creative process—how he uses beat sheets from Save the Cat Writes a Novel to manage pacing, why reader feedback matters more than formulas, and why no story can satisfy every audience. For aspiring writers, his candor is invaluable: embrace imperfection, learn your genre, and write with emotional truth.As the episode wraps, Ben looks ahead to the March 30 release of My Brother's Keeper and a virtual launch celebration with the Fantasy & Sci‑Fi Fanatics podcast in early April. He also reminds fellow creators to celebrate every milestone—whether it's finishing a first draft or earning that first genuine review—and to recognize that publishing any book is an extraordinary achievement.Key Takeaway:Success as an indie author isn't about chasing algorithms or outsmarting ad platforms; it's about writing honest stories, connecting with real readers, and valuing progress at every stage of the creative journey.https://benschenkman.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

We explore what happens when the men who are called to lead—whether in the home or ecclesia—fall short, make mistakes, or even become wicked. How do faithful sisters navigate real‑life complications whilst upholding divine principles? Drawing from the rich tapestry of Scripture, we examine examples that are both **wonderful** and searingly honest: Bathsheba's respectful genius with an ageing king, Hannah's meek response to a false accusation, Jael's extraordinary courage in a treacherous household, and Abigail's decisive action to avert disaster. This is not abstract theory; it is practical, Spirit‑filled wisdom for every flawed human relationship. Whether you are a brother grappling with the weight of your responsibility or a sister seeking guidance in lonely territory, this study will challenge and inspire you to apply God's principles with grace, integrity, and resilience.**

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is still being discussed in parliament. But beyond proposals for a law change, how should we tackle one of the great debates of our time: should we set up a system of assisted death and profound questions it raises about everything from whether adults have a right to assistance to end their own life to what safeguards and protections should exist between individuals and the state when death is offered as a medical option by health professionals. Philosopher and bestselling author of Material Girls Kathleen Stock will lead a discussion raising themes in her forthcoming book Do Not Go Gentle, arguing that we should reaffirm life, rather than death and collectively, we should rage against the dying of the light. The issue throws up many moral dilemmas worth discussing: Is the status quo a ‘cruel mess,' to quote campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen? Is assisted death for those with a terminal illness, or suffering chronic pain or extreme mental distress, a progressive and compassionate choice as its supporters argue? Does it give a person more “freedom” or “control” over their lives, allow dignity in dying as it were? How should we square a patient's freedom of choice with existing frameworks of medical ethics? Will having the right to take control of your death by asking a doctor to kill you, really have broader sinister outcomes for the vulnerable, the elderly, the disabled, the suicidally depressed as its opponents warn? Is it ever possible to guard effectively against situations in which people are coerced to die, either by family members or by a state that is too often incapable of providing adequate palliative care? Or are such slippery slope arguments just a form of emotive scaremongering? How should we all approach our own or loved ones' terminal illness and death? SPEAKERS Dr Az Hakeem consultant psychiatrist and medical director, Psyche Clinic; author, Trans and Detrans Sonia Sodha columnist and broadcaster Dr Kathleen Stock columnist, UnHerd; co-director, The Lesbian Project; author, Do Not Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death Professor Kevin Yuill emeritus professor of history, University of Sunderland; author, Assisted Suicide: the liberal, humanist case against legalization

Allie examines the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico and tackles the tough question: How should Christians vote when both candidates have serious flaws? She breaks down Paxton's moral failings and past scandals alongside Talarico's radically progressive positions—including his claims that “God is non-binary,” strong support for abortion, gender transitions for minors, prison abolition, and open-border policies—while evaluating their records on life, family, borders, and justice through a biblical lens. Additionally, Allie interviews her brother, Justin Simmons, who is the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Justin details his mission to crack down on drug smuggling, human trafficking and fraud, while urging others to improve their communities rather than choosing a life of self-gratification. Gov.

The uncontroverted facts: Cyrus was shot in the back. If someone is pointing a gun at you and you shoot them, they don't get hit in the back. Hawk also addresses that the jury was never told Mr. Chow had been involved in two prior shootings as a private citizen. Hawk reflects on his own criminal defense career and the moral weight of defending clients in cases involving rape and child sexual assault, and why he walked away from criminal defense law after just three years. Racism in America in 2026 is part of this conversation, and Hawk acknowledges the limits of his own perspective while using his platform to elevate Black creators speaking to that lived experience.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom and Apollo explore the intersection of nutrition, environment, technology, and personal sovereignty.

You'll also hear a challenging breakdown of vaccines, autism, censorship, and liability, as well as reflections on assisted death, elder care, and honoring our ancestors. The episode concludes with a practical path forward through Future Foundations, a system designed to help families become so healthy and free that they rarely need the conventional medical system.   Highlights: "The quantity of calories matters less than the quality of calories. It's that simple."   "Most people think the problem is the food, but it's often what they did to the food that's destroying your body."   "We should be more afraid of not being in the sun than being in the sun between 11 and 4."   "Without liability, there's no room for transparency, no room for integrity, and no room for accountability."   "They censor the cause and they censor the solutions, so people stay trapped in the system for life."   Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 04:57 – Raw Milk vs. Pasteurized Milk: Demonized or Healing? 09:06 – Weston A.

Mickey is BACK with two new papers he has co-authored, a bunch of opinions, and a very unwelcome idea: maybe the problem with AI isn't that it doesn't work but that it works too well!The first paper, Against Frictionless AI, argues that AI assistance and its ability to take away the effort from thinking, writing, and smooth out social(like) interactions could be robbing those activities of the very thing that makes them worthwhile.The second paper is a more empirical investigation that presents a bunch of studies examining the topic of the (alleged) moralisation of AI. Some findings suggest that opposition to AI among some people isn't really about risks or trade-offs but rather about non-negotiable sacred moral values. Who knew?We also discuss effort justification, reproducible research, robosexual allyship, and just how much humanity remains within the cyborg Matthew Browne.And remember...

Genesis 22 reveals a profound test of Abraham's faith, highlighting trust in God's promises over ethical debate and marking a pivotal moment where God rejects child sacrifice and introduces substitution.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacy M., we continue pulling back the curtain on Freemasonry and examining the questions most people are told not to ask.If the organization is simply a harmless fraternity, why so much secrecy? Why the elaborate rituals, layered symbolism, and strict oaths? And why have so many influential leaders throughout history been tied to it?In this episode, we dig deeper into the structure of Freemasonry, the meaning behind its rituals and symbols, and the concerns many Christians and researchers have raised about its spiritual and cultural influence. We also discuss why criticism of the organization is often quickly dismissed—and why that reaction alone should make people more curious, not less.This conversation isn't about sensationalism. It's about discernment. When powerful institutions operate largely out of public view yet intersect with leadership, culture, and faith, they deserve thoughtful examination.The goal isn't to tell people what to think, but to encourage them to start asking questions for themselves.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on Uncommon Sense, I'm joined by Stacy M. for a conversation that too many people are afraid (or unwilling) to have.We're discussing Freemasonry: what it is, what it claims to be, and the darker, more sinister elements that often get brushed aside or ignored entirely. From secrecy and symbolism to influence and power, we're asking the questions that rarely get real answers.Why has this secret society maintained such a strong presence for so long? Why does it seem to intersect so frequently with positions of power—including within our own government? And most importantly… why aren't more people talking about it?This episode isn't about blind accusations, it's about awareness. If something holds influence, operates behind closed doors, and shapes culture or leadership in any capacity, it deserves scrutiny.It's time to start paying attention and asking better questions.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial and disturbing comics ever published — Crossed by Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows.Originally released in 2008, Crossed presents a brutal vision of societal collapse where a mysterious contagion strips humanity of all restraint, turning the infected into sadistic killers marked by the red cross across their faces.This episode explores the entire first volume (Issues 0–9), breaking down the story arc, the major characters, and the themes that make the series both fascinating and deeply unsettling.We follow Stan, Cindy, and a small group of survivors as they attempt to navigate a world where civilization has collapsed almost overnight. Along the way we examine the evolution of the Crossed themselves, the psychological toll on survivors, and the moral compromises that arise when survival becomes the only priority.We also explore how Crossed reflects real-world anxieties, including themes of societal fragility and disaster response — ideas that Garth Ennis has cited as inspiration following events like Hurricane Katrina.Content warning: This series contains extreme violence and disturbing subject matter. Listener discretion is advised.If you're a fan of horror comics or want to understand why Crossed remains one of the most talked-about graphic novels in modern horror, this episode provides a full breakdown of the first run of the series.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

Trump will be a chaos agent.BRAD: the “winners” of 2025 will be the cartoonists and businesses that help people *deal* with anxiety.DAVE: Bluesky will be at 50M users by the end of the year (we were at 23M when he made that prediction)BRAD: Substack: will gain in prominence. They're going to have a user base in the same league as Patreon, Kickstarter, or Twitter.DAVE: “We will all be playing reactionary, whack-a-mole with our life decisions in the first two years of the Trump administration.”BRAD: AI will start to gain a foothold among writers and artists, as an assistant to their writing or their process or their brainstorming. Dave concurred.

Bobby answers a question from a caller who wants to know how much money Lunchbox has wasted on the lottery in his lifetime. We debate if Lunchbox has wasted the money or if it’s a part of his ‘investment’. We also talked about the brand new $1M luxury yacht that tips over and sinks just minutes after launching. We get into a moral dilemma on helping the less fortunate. Bobby had an unfortunate diary incident in Chicago and realized the sports he is the worst at doing a gauntlet at Barstool Sports. We talked about a new poll that found 70% of Americans go with their gut or rely on it to some extent when making big life decisions. Bobby talked about how he always follows his guy when it comes to sports betting. A caller wanted to know if we’ve seen Unknown Number: The High School Catfish on Netflix. Bobby then gives everyone a masterclass on how to retain information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Train tracks. Split decisions. And a philosophy humdinger worth debating. Dr. Joshua Greene is a Harvard Psychology professor, neuroscientist, and *actual* Trolleyologist. The moral humdinger that has been used in everything from Supreme Court decisions to board games looks at: What makes you a good person? How do you reason with people who make you scream into a jar like Yosemite Sam? How far would you go to save others? Which charities should get your money? What is active versus passive harm? And what would a monk do? Also: how neurodivergence influences moral decisions, religion used as a moral compass, and your new favorite skeleton on the planet. Visit Dr. Greene's website, his charity platform Giving Multiplier, and his online quiz game TangoBuy his book, Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them, on Bookshop.org or AmazonA donation went to Giving MultiplierMore episode sources and linksOther episodes you may enjoy: Eudemonology (HAPPINESS), Genocidology (CRIMES OF ATROCITY), Obsessive-Compulsive Neurobiology (OCD), Bonus Episode: The OCD Experience, Artificial Intelligence Ethicology (WILL A.I.
