Cardinals from around the world are meeting at the Vatican to elect the next head of the catholic church in a secret conclave. There are thought to have been three popes from Africa in the past, but the last of those was more than 1,500 years ago. So, could the new pope come from Africa? And what is at stake for the continent as the catholic church chooses its next leader? Alan Kasujja speaks to Reverend Professor Paulinus Odozor, a Professor of Theology and African Studies at Notre Dame University.

America stands at a democratic crossroads, facing threats not from invasion or coup, but from methodical dismantling from within. This is the reality: federal agencies are gutted, political opponents are targeted, judges are being arrested for not advancing Trump's agenda, and courts are delegitimized with alarming speed.Dr. Laura Gamboa, democracy expert from Notre Dame University, and author of the book Resisting Backsliding: Opposition Strategies against the Erosion of Democracy, joins the pod and brings critical insight from her studies of democratic backsliding across Latin America. What makes our current crisis particularly insidious is how democratic institutions themselves become weapons against democracy. Unlike military coups, this erosion happens gradually enough that many citizens fail to recognize the danger until it's too late.The courts represent our most significant remaining bulwark, but they cannot stand alone. Gamboa explains how Colombia's constitutional court successfully blocked President Uribe's authoritarian ambitions – but only because they received visible public support and political allies in Congress. When judges feel abandoned, as happened in Venezuela, they become reluctant to oppose even clearly unconstitutional power grabs.For resistance to succeed, several strategies prove essential: protests need focused goals rather than diffuse expressions of discontent; democracy defenders must build coalitions beyond partisan lines; and Americans should learn from countries that have successfully resisted democratic erosion rather than reinventing strategies. Dr. Gamboa outlines some innovative tactics beyond traditional demonstrations that we need to start considering, particularly focused on protecting electoral integrity.The window for action is narrowing daily. Once courts are fully co-opted and election administration compromised, reversing democratic decline becomes exponentially harder. -------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

Haley McNamara and Dani Pinter sit down with Melinda Tankard Reist, Co-Founder and Movement Director of Collective Shout, for a discussion around the recent successful campaign to remove a sexually violent game called “No Mercy” from Steam. Melinda describes how the game allows players to sexually assault your family members and rewards you for doing so. In less than a week, this campaign garnered over 70,000 signatures and over 3,000 emails sent to the CEO of Valve to remove this game. Despite the backlash and threats, Melinda and the team at Collective Shout continue their work to protect women and children from objectification and sexualization. Melinda is an author, speaker, media commentator and campaigner. She is best known for her work addressing sexualization, objectification, harms of pornography, sexual exploitation, trafficking and violence against women. Melinda is author/editor of seven books (no. 8 on boundary-setting for girls forthcoming 2025). She co-founded Collective Shout for a world free of sexploitation 15 years ago, and is Movement Director. Melinda is an Ambassador for World Vision Australia, Compassion Australia, Hagar NZ and the youth mentoring body the Raise Foundation. She is also Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Culture and Ethics, Notre Dame University, Sydney and named in the Who's Who of Australian Women and the World Who's Who of Women. In 2024 she was the recipient of the ‘Global Impact Award' presented at the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation [CESE] Global Summit in Washington DC. 

Within days, perhaps even hours of Pope Francis's funeral, the discreet meetings will begin among the 135 cardinals who will elect the next Pope. When the doors close on the conclave, we won't – strictly speaking, shouldn't – know anything until a new pope appears on the balcony of St Peter's Square. But what happens in the crucial days leading up to the conclave as candidates start to emerge. FRANCIS CAMPBELL is vice chancellor of Notre Dame University in Australia. He also served as the UK ambassador to the Holy See.

Claire Giangrave from the Religion News Service is in Rome where the city is preparing for the funeral of Pope Francis. There's a guest list including princes, presidents, and prime ministers. Why is this funeral as much a geopolitical event as a centuries-old religious rite?Within days, perhaps even hours of Pope Francis's funeral, the discreet meetings will begin among the 135 cardinals who will elect the next Pope. When the doors close on the conclave, we won't – strictly speaking, shouldn't – know anything until a new pope appears on the balcony of St Peter's Square. But what happens in the crucial days leading up to the conclave as candidates start to emerge. FRANCIS CAMPBELL is vice chancellor of Notre Dame University in Australia. He also served as the UK ambassador to the Holy See.MARK SHRIVER has spent much of his life around power. He was a successful Democratic Party politician and he's a Kennedy. JFK and Bobby were his uncles and his father, Sargent Shriver ran for vice-president. But he's also had a life of service, working with disadvantaged kids. A decade ago, grappling with his own Catholicism, he became fascinated with the relatively new Pope Francis. He wanted to recharge his faith. The result was an extraordinary book, Pilgrimage: My Search for the Real Pope Francis. We spoke with Mark when the book came out in 2017 but this week, we caught up again.

The event offers keynotes, panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities focused on the future of mobile storytelling and digital engagement, giving attendees a great opportunity to network and connect to learn from the best in the industry. Attendees can expect to learn from over 30 speakers, including recognised creators like Hannah Wilson and Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video CNN and explore the latest mobile technology Comment on what to expert as I would have described it as a former attendee: For attendees, words cannot describe the motivation and inspiration you will get from this event, along with the global community of creatent creator connections and the amazing opportunity to learn hands-on from these industry experts in the workshops. Mojofest, Dublin, 28th, 29th April When and where is it on? 28th & 29th April, 2025 - UCD, In the O'Reilly Hall Conference Centre, University College, Belfield, Dublin 4 How many years has it been going? It started as RTÉ Mojocon in 2015 when I was head of innovation. It ran for 3 years until I took an exit package and started Mojofest in 2018. This is the 4th Mojofest (disrupted by Covid) but also the 10-year anniversary of our first Mojocon event which was at the CCD in Dublin. What was the inspiration to start it? Mainly frustration to be honest. I'd started training media organisations in Mobile Journalism in 2011 and was getting great feedback on the training but not much progress on implementation and transformation. After meeting several other early adopters like Nick Garnett and Marc Settle from BBC, John Inge Johansen from NRK, Illico Elia formerly Reuters and Len Clarke from Notre Dame University it became clear that there was a need for a network and an event seemed like the logical way to create one. That network, started after RTÉ Mojocon as a group on Facebook in 2015 now has over 7500 members from over 100 countries. What exciting things can people look forward to? We are just about to announce Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video with CNN will be keynoting on day one and day two we have Hannah Wilson who has a social following of 750k across platforms both of whom speak about the top trends and tips for success with social/digital/vertical storytelling. We have 16 workshops already announced and expect there will be even more over the event. Many of these are practical hands-on learning sessions will be of real value for attendees who want to acquire/perfect new skills. The expo will be full of the leading brands making apps and accessories for professional grade mobile content creation. Many will have special event only prices and offers. What opportunities are on offer for those attending? We are hosting a networking event on Monday night in the city centre and I'm hoping to run a quiz with prizes and giveaways at it also. Who will be speaking? https://mojofest.eu/alllspeakers Keynote speaker, day 1: Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video CNN Keynote speaker, day 2: Hannah Wilson, Content Creator / Influencer And unlike so many other events we have almost no "commercial" speakers. Our speakers are predominantly on stage, some for the first time, because they have a great, inspiring story to share. What tips would you give to people attending to get the most out of? Our motto has always been Inspire | Equip | Educate so to make the most of the experience attend as many sessions as you can. Grab some bargains and network like crazy! How can people book tickets? https://mojofest.eu Anything else you'd like to add / we should have asked? We have several sessions on AI this year as that has been the big new development in the last two years. If you have only a vague idea of the creative p...
