If you've done the therapy, read the books, and tried everything to move on from betrayal—but you're STILL not okay—this episode explains why. Dr. Debi reveals what Post Betrayal Syndrome® (PBS®) is, why conventional support often falls short, and what betrayal-informed care actually looks like. You'll learn why your body won't let go, why your mind won't quiet, and why the healing path requires specialized support. This isn't about trying harder. It's about getting the right kind of help. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: What Post Betrayal Syndrome Really Is The physical symptoms: exhaustion, digestive issues, immune dysfunction, unexplained pain The mental symptoms: brain fog, obsessive thoughts, decision paralysis, hypervigilance The emotional symptoms: numbness, endless grief, anger that won't leave, inability to trust The identity impact: not recognizing yourself, questioning your judgment, feeling fundamentally broken Why Conventional Support Hasn't Worked Why therapy alone often isn't enough for betrayal recovery Why self-help books skip essential stages of healing Why wellness protocols don't resolve symptoms when betrayal is the root cause Why coaching strategies hit an invisible barrier The training gap: what most practitioners weren't taught What Betrayal Does to Your Body How betrayal creates a nervous system paradox that keeps you stuck in hypervigilance Why your immune system dysregulates (and the autoimmune connection) The gut-brain-betrayal axis: why digestive issues start after betrayal How your entire endocrine system becomes depleted Why conventional medicine treats these as separate issues when they're all connected The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough Stage 1: This isn't happening (shock and denial) Stage 2: What happened? (making sense of shattered reality) Stage 3: The need for control (hypervigilance and trust issues) Stage 4: Finding a new normal (rebuilding identity and boundaries) Stage 5: Healing and rebirth (complete transformation) Why you can't skip stages—and what happens when you try What Betrayal-Informed Support Actually Looks Like Why betrayal is different from general trauma What practitioners miss when they aren't betrayal-trained The difference between coping, managing, and actually healing How to recognize if support is truly betrayal-informed Why demand for this support currently exceeds availability KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: "You're not stuck because you're broken. You're stuck because you haven't had access to the right kind of support." "Your body isn't broken. Your body is responding exactly as it should to betrayal." "It's not that you hired the wrong people. It's not that you didn't try hard enough. It's that betrayal requires betrayal-specific support." "With betrayal, the threat came from someone you trusted. Someone your nervous system believed was safe. That creates a paradox your nervous system can't resolve." "You can't skip stages. You can't rush them. And you need support that understands which stage you're in and what you need at that stage." "Most practitioners weren't trained in this—not because they're behind, but because it wasn't included in most certifications." RESOURCES MENTIONED: Looking for Betrayal-Informed Support?

Over the past several years, Bill Gates has embarked on a media tour of sorts, sitting down with outlets like PBS, CNN, and other major networks in an effort to explain why he maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. In interview after interview, Gates acknowledged that meeting with Epstein was a “mistake,” often repeating that he regretted the association and that there was no philanthropic outcome from their discussions. Yet the explanations consistently raised more questions than they answered. Gates initially suggested the meetings were centered around global health and charitable ambitions, but reporting later revealed multiple in-person visits to Epstein's townhouse in New York, including at least one after his divorce announcement. The narrative that Epstein was simply a misguided gateway to philanthropic networking strained credibility, particularly given Epstein's well-known status as a convicted sex offender by the time many of these meetings occurred.What ultimately undermined Gates' attempts to contain the fallout was the shifting tone and evolving details across his public statements. In some interviews, he minimized the frequency of contact; in others, he admitted the meetings occurred several times. He framed the relationship as purely professional, yet he could not convincingly articulate what tangible benefit came from engaging Epstein at all. The repeated refrain of “it was a mistake” began to sound less like transparency and more like damage control. For critics, the issue was not simply that Gates met Epstein—it was that a billionaire with vast resources and global influence could not provide a clear, consistent account of why he chose to align, even briefly, with a man whose crimes were already public knowledge. The interviews, rather than resolving the controversy, reinforced a perception that the full story remains incomplete.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for tuning in and your continued support. This week, we bring you another installment of Semper Cinema in reviewing the documentary, The Last 600 Meters, detailing the battles of Fallujah and Najaf during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Released last year, The Last 600 Meters chronicles the two deadliest battles of the Iraq War, Najaf in the south against the Shi'a Madhi Militia and Fallujah in the west against Sunni insurgents. Both battles occurred in 2004 and the interviews for this documentary were recorded in 2007. Due to internal issues at PBS, many of which have been revealed to be political, it was shelved until last year. We mention this dynamic in our review, but mainly focus on the specifics of the film, such as the narrative style and cinematic art, and how well the filmmakers used these tools to tell the story. Another controversy surrounding the release of the film is its use of graphic combat footage, including the deaths of US service members, so we also dive into the ethics of depicting graphic imagery and the moral decisions that go into it when trying to be authentic in illustrating the savagery of war. Enjoy! The post #229: Semper Cinema – The Last 600 Meters first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

As James Garfield's surprise presidential campaign got underway, he knew he didn't have it in the bag. The Republican party was divided. The Democratic party was united. And there was some weirdo third-party candidate campaigning for an 8-hour workday. *I guess people don't wanna work anymore!?*The fact that many members of his party — including his own vice president — were, at best, mildly enthusiastic about his candidacy made his road to victory even less likely. And yet? A strange little man named Charles Guiteau campaigned hard for Garfield. He was convinced that he'd be rewarded for his efforts. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President,” by Candice MillardThe book, “Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A.

நம் நாட்டில் மருந்துகளை மலிவாகப் பெற உதவும் முக்கிய அரசுத் திட்டம் தான் Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). பணம் இல்லாத காரணத்தால் மக்கள் மருந்துகளை தவிர்க்கக் கூடாது என்பதுதான் இந்தத் திட்டத்தின் நோக்கம். ஆனால் சமீபத்திய செய்தி ஒன்று ஒரு முக்கிய கேள்வியை எழுப்புகிறது. “நாள்தோறும் பலர் பயன்படுத்தும் சில பொதுவான மருந்துகள் ஏன் PBS–இல் இல்லை?” என்பதுதான் அந்தக் கேள்வி. இது குறித்த செய்திகளின் பின்னணியை எடுத்து வருகிறார் குலசேகரம் சஞ்சயன்.

Send a textProvidence State Representative David Morales joins Bartholomewtown to discuss his primary challenge against Mayor Brett Smiley. Morales is positioning his campaign as a grassroots, progressive alternative to the current administration — and recently released a detailed snow removal plan following widespread frustration with the city's response to the last major winter storm.We talk about what went wrong during the storm, what Morales says City Hall needs to change, and whether a movement-driven campaign can overcome the advantages of an incumbent mayor. Plus, how Morales is thinking about coalition-building, voter turnout, and whether Providence is ready for a Mamdani-style political upset.Support the show

Beyond the romantic notion of "games as art" lies a complex reality of technical requirements, development timelines, and institutional infrastructure that most cultural organizations simply aren't prepared for.Today, I'm speaking with Theo Triantafyllidis, an artist who builds what he calls "performative systems where natural and synthetic intelligences rehearse their coexistence." Working with games, live simulations, performances, and installations, Theo creates darkly playful procedural worlds that turn phenomena like ecological collapse and networked desire into experiences that can be felt rather than verbally explained.Theo has exhibited at major institutions including the Whitney Museum, Centre Pompidou, and was part of the Venice Biennale's Hyper Pavilion. His work ranges from Pastoral, an intimate anti-game about a muscular orc running through an infinite hayfield, to Feral Metaverse, an ambitious eight-player multiplayer game with a custom medieval catapult rig that's been in development for over three years.In this conversation, we go deep on the practical realities of exhibiting interactive work: Why IT staff aren't the same as technical infrastructure. How institutions fund physical installations but not digital development, or vice versa. Why a game that takes two weeks to build might tour internationally while a three-year project struggles to find the right venue. And what it means when audiences bring their player psychology into the gallery space—that instinct to test boundaries and break systems that makes games fundamentally different from other art forms.If you're a cultural institution thinking about game-based programming, an artist navigating this landscape, or simply curious about what happens when the art world meets interactive media, this conversation offers a rare, unvarnished look at what it really takes to do this work well.(00:00) - The Infrastructure Gap: Why Museums Can't Show Interactive Work (00:43) - Theo Triantafyllidis on Building Performative Systems (01:30) - Beyond IT: What Game-Based Art Actually Requires (03:55) - The Funding Paradox: Digital vs. Physical Production (08:59) - Technical Realities: Maintenance, Testing, and Player Psychology (15:39) - Case Studies: From Two-Week Prototypes to Three-Year Developments (25:41) - Building Institutional Literacy for Game-Based Practice For more insights, signup for my newsletter.Jamin Warren founded Gameplayarts, an advisory that helps museums and cultural organizations engage with the world of gaming.

Philip Shaw offers a Canadian farmer's view on trade tensions, tariffs, and the future of North American agriculture.
Billy Dec is the owner of Sunda New Asian, a Pan-Asian concept with a heavy bent toward Dec's own Filipino heritage. The original location in Chicago's River North neighborhood is 17 years old, and the concept's fifth location, in Detroit, is slated to open in a couple of weeks. There are also Sunda locations in Nashville and Tampa.The décor of the Detroit location reflects Dec's own heritage more deeply than the other restaurants, with images from his documentary Food Roots, which is currently screening across the country as it prepares to air on PBS.In this conversation he shares a bit about the documentary as well as his own upbringing and the natural fusion that occurs when taking non-direct flights to the Philippines—stops in Hong Kong, Tokyo or Seoul are common. Dec's own background is also Eastern European, and that wasn't lost on him as he was growing up and his household had a cuisine all its own. He discusses how culinary curiosity has evolved in the United States, but also how food delivery has taken a bite not only out of profits, but also out of the joy of running restaurants—seeing guests enjoy their meals and embracing the hospitality that is presented to them. He also shares his opinion of Detroit, a vibrant, beautiful and welcoming city that Dec thinks other restaurateurs ought to consider for business.
Robert Kurland, Ph.D.Can AI Have a Soul? What Science Fiction SaysDr. Robert Kurland, a convert to Catholicism in 1995, is a retired physicist who has applied magnetic resonance to problems of biological interest in his research (web search: “Kurland-McGarvey Equation”). Dr. Kurland is a graduate of Caltech (BS, 1951, “with honor”) and Harvard (PhD, 1956). His scientific career at Carnegie-Mellon, SUNY/AB, Cleveland Clinic, Geisinger Medical Center, has focused on biological applications of magnetic resonance, including MRI. Since his conversion to Catholicism, he has tried to spread the message that there's no war between Catholic teaching and science.AbstractMuch before AI tools became available, science fiction stories had shown how it might be manifested in computers, robots, and humanoid androids. As with other Speculative Fiction (Tolkien, C.S. Lewis) one takes the contrapositive beings and situations in such tales not as possible reality, but as parables illustrating the human condition. Three stories will be discussed: “Deus X” in which human consciousness can be transplanted to computers as life after death“The Measure of a Man—Star Trek, Next Generation,” a trial to determine whether the android Data is more than a machine “Our Lady of the Artifacts,” a novel in which an android with superhuman capabilities is possessed by a devilFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.Why AI Can't Have a Soul: The Transphysical ParadoxFor more on Magis AI, see https://wcatradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/MagisAI.pdfFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. is President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (magiscenter.com), one of the largest science, faith, and reason apologetics institutes in the world. He was President of Gonzaga University from 1998 to 2009, where he increased the student body by 75%, oversaw the construction of 20 new facilities, and raised $200+ million for scholarships and buildings. He is the author of nineteen books, including the award-winning books New Proofs for the Existence of God and Science, Reason, and Faith: Discovering the Bible. He has also authored many scholarly articles on faith and science, metaphysics, and happiness and ethics. Father Spitzer has his own weekly EWTN television show called Fr. Spitzer's Universe. He has appeared on the Larry King Show (in discussion with Stephen Hawking and Deepak Chopra), the History Channel, the Today Show, and a PBS series. He started seven institutes dedicated to faith and reason and happiness/purpose in life. He was a professor at Georgetown University, Seattle University, and Gonzaga University and was awarded the teaching medal at both Georgetown University and Seattle University. He has held two major academic chairs—the Frank Shrontz Endowed Chair in Professional Ethics (Seattle University) and the John L. Aram Chair of Business Ethics (Gonzaga University), and has won multiple academic and professional awards including the DeSmet Medal (Gonzaga University's highest award), the Aquinas Medal (for Catholic philosophical scholarship), honorary doctorates, Phi Beta Kappa (honorary), and professional society awards.AbstractThe human soul performs five functions that cannot be reduced to physical processes and structures: (1) Self-consciousness, (2) Abstract intellection through conceptual ideas, (3) Conscience and moral awareness, (4) Transcendental awareness, and (5) Spiritual-numinous awareness. Since AI is reducible, and will always be reducible to physical processes and structures, AI will not replace a human soul – or be like a human soul.
In this episode, we take a sharp, sarcastic deep dive into the latest "sundowner" antics coming out of the White House and the blatant economic backfire hitting the administration's own base. From 4:00 AM cowardice to the massive contrast in how America celebrates Black History Month, we're breaking down why "truly great men" don't have to tear others down to stand tall. The 4 AM "Red Flag": Why midnight tantrums aren't "strength"—they're a sign of failing health and an old man sundowning on a global stage. We discuss why his kids need to snatch the phone before the battery (and the legacy) hits zero. The Economic "Self-Own": A look at the reality behind the rhetoric. With groceries at 4x the price, record-high foreclosures, and health insurance premiums skyrocketing due to expired subsidies, we ask: who is this "greatness" actually for? The "Michelle" Metric: Poetic justice at the box office. Why is an immigrant documentary playing to empty seats and tumbleweeds, while Michelle Obama's Becoming is back at #1 six years later?

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Miles Spencer, the co-founder of an innovative AI start-up called Reflekta. A few weeks back, Mile's team reached out to me to say that they've enjoyed the conversations I've had with various types of storytellers…and how they especially liked how our conversations revealed the stories within the stories. Miles has helped create over 1,100 jobs while founding, financing, building and exiting three digital media companies. Before doing that he spent time in venture capital, hosted a precursor to Shark Tank called MoneyHunt on PBS , led over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea on kayak, and trekked 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia , Jordan and Syria. He also published a novel called A Line in the Sand that ended up being an Amazon bestseller in the Middle East. We had an engaging conversation about his early inspirations, his professional path, and the philosophical considerations around ethical AI.

PBS's INDEPENDENT LENS, the film follows a courageous network of besieged librarians as they unite to examine how book restriction policies are shaping library collections. “The Librarians” takes viewers from Texas to Florida and beyond, where local libraries have become unexpected battlegrounds in a national struggle over parental control, intellectual freedom, and democracy itself. Sparked by the controversial “Krause List” in Texas, which targets 850 books centered on race and LGBTQIA+ stories, the film takes a deep investigative dive into the escalating movement against book banning. The film captures the courage and resilience of the everyday heroes, librarians, as well as concerned parents and students flanking them, who have become first responders in the fight for the freedom to read, standing defiantly against censorship at all costs.Director/Producer Kim A. Snyder is the Peabody Award-winning filmmaker of “Newtown” (Sundance 2016, INDEPENDENT LENS, Netflix), “Us Kids” (Sundance 2020 and 14 subsequent awards), “Lessons from a School Shooting…” (Tribeca 2018–Best Documentary Short, Netflix Original, Grierson Award nominee), and “Welcome to Shelbyville” (INDEPENDENT LENS).

"It may not be Mister Right YouTube, but it is Mister Right Now." — Erika DildayOn Super Bowl Sunday — with America celebrating its 250th anniversary — Erika Dilday joins to discuss the power of documentary film to cut through algorithmic noise and show us who we really are.

This week we dedicate our show to a documentary that we think is important. We have promised our listeners to keep the podcast non-political (no shouting talking heads, no books with a political agenda). But there are some issues that are vitally important that we also believe are non-political. Book banning is first and foremost among these. Next week on February 9th, The Librarians documentary starts streaming on PBS stations across the country as part of their beloved Independent Lens series. Join us as we talk to two brave and brilliant librarians fighting book bans with all their might. We also talk to Kim A. Snyder, the director of the film about why the stories presented in this documentary are so important. Book banning is wrong. And we are talking about it this week.

The legacy media's "Both Sides Do It" conventional wisdom is a rotting corpse they've been sleeping with for decades while pretending they couldn't see Trump's fascism coming. David Brooks gets rewarded with cushy jobs at The Atlantic and Yale after being spectacularly wrong for 22 years, while PBS replaces him with a right-wing nobody who praises Trump as "the voice of reason" because of course they did. It's past time to destroy the media's claim that "nobody saw this coming" by pointing out that liberal bloggers have been right all along. But liberals are kept off mainstream air because acknowledging their critique as correct would wreck the legacy media's business model. Meanwhile, resistance continues in Minneapolis with street memorials, and a federal judge issues a scathing opinion comparing Trump's deportation forces to the tyranny that sparked the American Revolution.Stay in Touch!

Just in time for #BlackHistoryMonth #theegalenjwilliams out here converting ebonics to polite 18th-century gathering....Bahaha! The Count of Monte Cristo is being revisited by African American readers, who see it as a story of survival and excellence in a world designed to erase them. The book's themes of betrayal, political turmoil, and the pursuit of justice resonate with the experiences of black professionals navigating systemic barriers. The upcoming PBS adaptation and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Dumas are fueling a cultural reclamation of his heritage and a deeper appreciation for the novel's complexities. Repeating anti-inflammatory protocol. The "Farm-to-Mug" Daily Anti-Inflammatory Protocol This schedule optimizes your body's natural circadian rhythms to dampen "meta-inflammation" throughout the day. Morning: The "Activation" Phase 07:00 AM – Hydration Kickstart: Drink 12oz of warm lemon water. The citric acid aids digestion and provides an immediate Vitamin C boost to lower oxidative stress. 08:00 AM – The Neural Clarity Tea: Simmer your rosemary and ginger for 10 minutes (covered). Add a teaspoon of raw honey. This opens up circulation and provides a neuroprotective start to your workday. 09:30 AM – Anti-Inflammatory Harvest Juice: Using the ingredients from your indoor garden, juice celery and red-fleshed apple with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper. Afternoon: The "Maintenance" Phase 01:00 PM – The "Big Harvest" Salad: Use a base of the dark leafy greens visible in your photo (Kale and Chard). 03:00 PM – Movement Break: A 10-minute brisk walk. Physical activity helps "flush" cytokines from the muscle tissue and improves insulin sensitivity. Evening: The "Recovery" Phase 07:00 PM – Low-Glycemic Dinner: Focus on healthy fats (omega-3s) like salmon or walnuts, paired with more garden-fresh veggies. 09:00 PM – Digital Detox: Chronic inflammation is tied to cortisol.
