Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May 06, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves chronologically through ten of history's most frequently cited UFO encounters, opening with a 1947 debris field on a New Mexico ranch and closing with a 2004 Navy radar encounter off the California coast.In July 1947, rancher William "Mac" Brazel discovers unusual metallic debris scattered across the Foster homestead north of Roswell, New Mexico, and reports it to Sheriff George Wilcox, who alerts the Roswell Army Air Field. Intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel collects the material, and on July 8th the RAAF issues a press release announcing the recovery of a "flying disc." The story runs in newspapers nationwide before General Roger Ramey holds a press conference the next day identifying the debris as a weather balloon. The retraction does little to end the speculation; decades later, ufologists raise claims of recovered alien bodies and a government cover-up, and in 1994 the Air Force publishes "Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash," attributing the debris to the classified high-altitude balloon program Project Mogul.From there, the episode moves to April 6th, 1966, when more than two hundred students, teachers, and residents near Westall High School in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, Australia, watch a gray, saucer-shaped craft descend, hover for roughly twenty minutes, and shoot skyward at high speed after a second object appears to intercept it. Students who walk into the nearby field known as The Grange afterward find circular patches of flattened grass. Australian authorities attribute the sighting to a weather balloon, an explanation many witnesses reject, and researcher Shane Ryan later interviews dozens of them for the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery."Next comes the Pascagoula Abduction: shipyard coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker are fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi on the night of October 11th, 1973, when a whirring oval craft with flashing lights hovers roughly forty feet above them and three robotic, wrinkled-skinned beings pull them aboard for what they describe as a twenty-minute physical examination. The men report the encounter to the local sheriff's office, which secretly records their conversation while leaving them alone in a room, capturing Hickson's visible distress rather than any hint of a hoax. Both men pass polygraph tests and undergo hypnosis, and UFO researchers J. Allen Hynek and James Harder investigate the case and find no evidence of fabrication.A similar pattern surfaces three years later in Maine, where twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner and fellow art students Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz are camping on Eagle Lake in the Allagash wilderness in August 1976 when a glowing orb appears to follow their canoe. After Charlie Foltz signals it with a flashlight, the light expands and engulfs the group, and the men find themselves back at a campsite fire that has burned down to embers with no memory of the intervening time. Years later, recurring nightmares send the four men to psychiatrist and UFO researcher Dr. Raymond Fowler, whose hypnotic regression sessions produce matching accounts of grey-alien medical examinations aboard a craft, a story that eventually reaches national audiences through "Unsolved Mysteries" and multiple books.Military personnel take center

Thomas named the papacy as one of the biggest speed bumps on the Road to Rome. The questions are familiar: Who made a man in Rome the boss of Christianity? What about the corrupt popes? Can he just make things up? In this episode Greg takes those questions head-on, beginning with Jesus' words to Peter in Matthew 16 and the early Church's recognition of that office. He looks honestly at the mixed historical record of the men who have sat in the chair, explains the real (and limited) nature of papal authority, and asks the deeper question: if not the papacy, then what? For anyone who feels the weight of imperfect leaders yet still senses that Christ left His Church a visible center of unity, this episode is for you.

Ryan, Jose, and David analyzed the story's themes, characters, and connections to other Barker works, especially its similarities to Hellraiser. They discussed the narrative of a group of young thugs who steal a magical knotted cord from a transient, leading to the release of three creatures representing evolutionary stages. The trio explored the story's themes of evolution, hidden knowledge, and the transformative power of magic. They also touched on potential adaptations, the evolution of special effects, and the podcast's Patreon supporters. The episode concluded with a preview of upcoming content, including a commentary on Angel Heart and a future discussion on Pinhead sketches by Clive Barker. Book Discussion on Development Stages Jose and Ryan discussed a book they were reading, with Jose mentioning insights about human fetal development stages. Ryan revealed he had studied medieval philosophy rather than evolutionary topics in school, which explained his lack of knowledge about the developmental stages Jose referenced. The conversation ended abruptly as Jose mentioned something from a previous episode. Religious Philosophy and Media Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed the Manichaeans, a religious philosophy that viewed the devil as an equal and opposite force to God. They also talked about beer from a local brewery and the challenges of being on camera for non-native English speakers. The conversation then shifted to the topic of dubbing versus subtitles in foreign films, particularly in Japanese movies, and the role of Laserdiscs in providing region-free and undubbed content. Book Club of Blood Episode The group discussed various topics including vintage movie formats, gaming collectibles, and comic book adaptations before transitioning into a Book Club of Blood episode. Jose shared his recent viewing of "The Return" and "Jason and the Argonauts," while Ryan and wnbla discussed special effects in classic films. The conversation ended with Ryan confirming this was another Book Club of Blood episode focused on a specific volume. Clive Barker's "Inhuman Condition" Analysis The group discussed Clive Barker's "Inhuman Condition" from Volume 4 of the Books of Blood, comparing it to the more famous Hellraiser story. They analyzed the characters and plot, particularly focusing on how the knots found their owner Carney and the creatures released from them. The discussion covered themes of hidden power in seemingly ordinary people and parallel worlds accessible through objects like the knots. The conversation also touched on how Barker often writes about magicians who appear ordinary but possess hidden abilities. Evolution Theme Plot Review Jose discussed the evolution theme in the story, involving reptilian, simian, and human-like creatures. The group reviewed plot details about Carney finding a knot in Red's hand and Brendan's call to the wrecking yard. They described the final confrontation scene where Pope captures Brendan using a knot, and Carney must work to free him while hiding from Pope's attack. Pope Carney Story Adaptation Discussion The group discussed a story involving Pope, Carney, and a magical knot that contains a creature representing Pope's brother. They explored how the story could be adapted into a movie or TV show, noting it would need additional content beyond the original narrative. The discussion revealed key plot points including how Pope's brother was transformed through evolutionary stages captured in knots, and how Carney discovers Pope's spell book at the end. The conversation also touched on how Pope represents the Church's role in hiding knowledge about evolution. Anatomical Challenges and Story Development The group discussed the historical challenges anatomists faced working in secret due to religious opposition, with Jose explaining how anatomical knowledge was considered sinful. Ryan shared a personal experience of feeling uncomfortable during a college health class when learning about the circulatory system, which led to a broader discussion about the human body being "a bag of bones" and "a flesh machine." The conversation then shifted to discussing potential storylines for a character named Carney, including possibilities of him becoming a powerful magician or CEO, and ended with a suggestion about creating an animated series based on Clive Barker's Books of Blood anthology.

The Academy Award-nominated actor Eric Roberts -- the famously prolific thespian who somehow filmed Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" and Larry The Cable Guy's "Witless Protection" at the same time --  joins Phil and David for tasty sandwiches from Lorenzo California and a wild conversation. Joined at the table for part of the episode by Eric's beloved wife and manager Eliza Roberts, Eric discussed many aspects of  his extraordinary life and career, from having Dr. Martin Luther King cut his birthday cake as a child, to his acclaimed work in movies like "The Pope of Greenwich Village" with Mickey Rourke, "Runaway Train" with Jon Voight and working with his favorite director ever, Bob Fosse in "Star 80." Eric also reads a few passages from his brutally candid 2024 memoir, "Runaway Train: Or, The Story Of My Life So Far," and shares his thoughts about the work onscreen he admires from his sister Julia Roberts, his daughter Emma Roberts, as well as the music of his stepson Keaton Simons, and so much more. To learn more about building community through food and "Somebody Feed the People," visit the Philanthropy page at philrosenthalworld.com.

Should the American Pope debate the American president about good and evil? The shameless Trump, one suspects, would relish a noisy cage match with a rival American celebrity. But Leo XIV has quietly declined the invitation — a refusal that the Catholic scholar Jack Hanson insists is neither cowardice nor convenience. Rather, as Hanson argues in this month's Harper's cover story, “Radical Reformation,” it's because the church has become the last global institution able to provide a coherent moral compass for our rootless times. The great irony, Hanson notes, is that the church was the first victim of the legitimacy conflagration now engulfing every other institution. His history begins in 1870, when Rome lost the Papal States and, for the first time in a millennium, had no earthly kingdom to defend. Ever since, the church has been reorienting itself — lately, against political, economic and military power. That opposition to worldly power was always a strand within the apostolic tradition, Hanson reminds us. Thus the Gospel's “antinomian communists” who stayed behind in plague cities, Thomas More's attack on private property, the 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day, liberation theology. What's new is that the Vatican itself has embraced this political tradition of questioning Caesar. Then came 9/11. In the war on terror, Hanson argues, the secular West redefined its enemy not as a rival religion but as religion itself — and the church stopped being Western civilization's moral crown jewel. John Paul II's opposition to the Iraq War was a preview. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI — Magnifica Humanitas, complete with an apology for the church's role in slavery — is a more mature realization of this radical reformation. No wonder, then, that Leo has no interest in a cage match with Trump. “A direct debate with a president who's going to be out of office in a couple of years isn't in his interest. It's too small a task,” Hanson explains. As the latest in a very long line of God's representatives on earth, Leo is playing the long game. He can afford to wait out a noisy Caesar or two. Five Takeaways •       The Last Moral Voice. Institutional legitimacy — of churches, states, the organs of governance and community — is in free fall, and the great historical irony, Hanson argues, is that the Catholic Church was the first institution to face that crisis. When Rome lost the Papal States in 1870, it lost a thousand years of political centrality and has been reorienting itself ever since. Over the last twenty years, the church has ceased to see the West as its spiritual home and reconfigured itself as a genuinely global institution — positioned, almost paradoxically, against power as such. Which is how the paragon of institutional crisis has returned as maybe the last moral voice on the global stage.•       The Radical Tradition Was Always There. The subversive strain Hanson traces runs from the Gospel itself — the early Christians as “antinomian communists” who held everything in common and stayed behind in plague cities — through Thomas More's attack on the enclosures (the first great critique of private property in Western history), Leo XIII's 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker, and Latin American liberation theology. Hanson doesn't flinch from the two Thomas Mores problem — the property radical was also a persecutor of heretics — because the church is full of sinners; you wouldn't need one otherwise. What's new is that the Vatican itself now orients toward the radical tradition rather than serving as the avatar of institutional power.•       9/11 Drove the Wedge. For most of the twentieth century the secular West treated the church as a civilizational feather in its cap. The war on terror changed that: the enemy was recast not as a rival religion but as religion as such — the new atheism was its rhetorical arm — and John Paul II's vociferous opposition to the Iraq War marked the rupture. Beneath it all, the secularization thesis (societies modernize, therefore secularize) had collapsed, its death usually dated to Iran in 1979. Reason and faith, Hanson argues, are far more intertwined than the twentieth century assumed — and, not coincidentally, the church and the left hit their historical nadirs together and are now showing signs of life together.•       Magnifica Humanitas: Arguing with the Machines. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI and humanity is remarkable, Hanson suggests, less for its conclusions than for its method: reasoned, humane argument addressed to people of all goodwill, in an age of universal bombast — from a leader with no personal stake in the outcome. It includes an apology for the church's involvement in slavery, an acknowledgment that the church itself once practiced the exclusionary humanism it now warns against. While subway billboards advise companies to “stop hiring human beings,” the church's real power, Hanson argues, is the legitimation of popular dissent: since Vatican II redefined the church as the People of God, the pope's voice works by inspiring people to find their own.•       Too Small a Task. Was the American pope elected to counter the American president? “His name wasn't mentioned once,” a conclave cardinal insisted — a denial Andrew files next to Casablanca's “shocked, shocked.” Either way, Leo refuses a direct debate with Trump, and Hanson insists this is the harder path, not the easier one: the pope aims to beat Trump on a higher register, shaping consciences in America and across the globe rather than winning a news cycle against a president who'll be gone in a couple of years. As for the evangelical prosperity gospel wing of MAGA: essentially in schism, Hanson says — not much to do with historical Christianity, politically or theologically. About the Guest Jack Hanson received his PhD in religious studies from Yale in 2024 and has taught there.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Joy is not hiding at the bottom of your feed, and Pope Leo says it out loud. We start with his short, direct warning about endless scrolling, pornography culture, promiscuity, superficial relationships, and obsession with image, then pull on the thread that really matters: what happens to Catholic life when attention is constantly fractured and faith turns into something we only argue about instead of something we actually live.From there we go straight at a problem a lot of serious Catholics feel but rarely name clearly: American Catholicism can end up as intellectual Catholicism shaped by Protestant convert habits and argument-first catechesis. We're grateful for solid apologetics, but we also ask why videos of Holy Week in Spain go viral while many American parishes struggle to sustain processions, festivals, and the ordinary customs that used to form families and neighborhoods. We talk about what broke the chain, including liturgical disruption, catechesis failures, the collapse of local community, suburban dislocation, online life replacing in-person life, and the lingering trust crisis around clergy.Then we get practical. “Uniquely American Catholic culture” does not mean copying European aesthetics or doing something cringe on purpose. We explore small, repeatable, parish-level traditions like a yearly rosary walk, a local pilgrimage, seasonal devotions, and family practices that become culture over time. We also share a surprising read of The Odyssey as an allegory for disorder, the suitors, and the return that puts the house in order, plus why that storyline hits so hard in the middle of a Church crisis.If this conversation lit a fire or hit a nerve, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people who care about Catholic life can find us.

Open Lines Discussion For Sunday, May 31, 2026Short SummaryThis was an open lines episode of The Space Show, hosted by David Livingston with participants including Marshall Martin, John Hunt, Dr. AJ Kothari, Philip Swan, and Bob Zimmerman. The main discussion centered on NASA's lunar payload delivery challenges after the New Glenn explosion, with Dr. AJ Kothari proposing Falcon Heavy as a solution to transport 1-7 tons to the lunar surface. The group discussed why innovative space ideas often fail to gain traction at NASA, citing factors like the “not invented here” syndrome, regulatory burdens on new companies, and patent/copyright issues. The conversation also covered Blue Origin's timeline for recovering from their recent explosion, with participants offering various estimates ranging from before year-end to potentially two to three years, depending on the extent of damage and investigation requirements.Detailed SummaryThe Space Show Wisdom Team discussed how NASA's payloads to the moon in 2026 are now at risk due to the New Glenn explosion, and proposed using Falcon Heavy as a solution. David expressed frustration about good space ideas not getting implemented, while Bob explained that NASA's resistance to new ideas and heavy regulatory burdens on new companies are significant obstacles. The discussion highlighted how SpaceX would need to work quietly with Falcon Heavy rather than publicly due to commercial considerations regarding Blue Origin.Dr. Kothari discussed NASA's “not invented here” syndrome and mentioned a potential introduction to SpaceX through Congressman Herodopoulos, though he expressed uncertainty about follow-through. The group discussed challenges with patents and copyrights affecting space projects, with Robert noting SpaceX's willingness to help competitors to avoid antitrust issues. Phil suggested thatAjay should use the Evidence Ledger platform to structure and validate his lunar transport claims before approaching SpaceX or NASA, which Dr. agreed to do. The conversation ended with a discussion about Blue Origin's timeline for returning to flight, where Marshall indicated that the exact timeline depends on the extent of damage to the launch pad and the extent to which it was designed to handle such issues.The group discussed the timeline for rebuilding Blue Origin's launch facility after a rocket explosion. David estimated delays could range from one to three years due to government investigations and Blue Origin's slow pace, while Marshall suggested it could be quicker if it was an engine failure. The team debated potential causes, with Marshall proposing a combustion chamber or rocket bell fracture as a possibility, and discussed implications for other rocket programs including Vulcan and Artemis. The conversation concluded without any evidence of sabotage being reported.The group discussed SpaceX's upcoming IPO, with participants expressing skepticism about the $2 trillion valuation due to operating losses and lack of revenue supporting the claims in the registration statement. John Jossy shared updates on the National Space Society's new cislunar space development goals, including efforts to create legal frameworks for space resource utilization and mining. The discussion concluded with concerns about the impact of Blue Origin's recent accident on the Artemis program, particularly regarding rocket capabilities and backup options for lunar missions.The team discussed the challenges and funding of rocket development, particularly focusing on Falcon Heavy and New Glenn. Dr. Kothari suggested that accidents could create opportunities for Congress to fund necessary modifications, while Marshall warned about the political challenges of securing such funding. The discussion explored whether government funding should support Blue Origin's New Glenn development, with John Jossy questioning whether federal money was needed given Bezos's personal wealth, and David suggesting that government mandates for regulatory or safety upgrades could provide a path for additional funding.The group discussed the competitive urgency around lunar missions, with David emphasizing the need to hurry due to China's upcoming lunar launch. They debated the status of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket and its NASA contracts, with Dr. providing details about different Mark versions of the lunar lander. The conversation then shifted to SpaceX's recent Starship test flight incident, where they discussed the FAA's investigation and debated whether it would significantly impact SpaceX's development timeline, with Philip arguing that government regulations are generally designed to ensure safety rather than slow progress.Marshall discussed the booster issue, highlighting concerns about fuel sloshing and its potential impact, estimating an 8-week timeline for resolution. John Jossy supported the optimistic timeline, noting SpaceX's ability to iterate quickly, while Dr. expressed concerns about hot staging, explaining its mechanics and potential risks. Philip defended hot staging as a trade-off for efficiency, and John Hunt questioned its appropriateness for a reusable rocket. The discussion concluded with Dr. mentioning the pressure to advance quickly due to potential lunar missions by Chinese astronauts in 2027.The group discussed Pope Francis's recent encyclical on AI, with Phil sharing his interview experience about the Pope's concerns regarding AI development and public opinion on the topic. The discussion explored various regulatory challenges around AI, including questions about medical licenses, legal practice, and the need for human oversight of AI systems. The conversation concluded with updates about upcoming Space Show episodes, including a scheduled interview with Thomas Zurbuchen on June 22nd and discussions about potential delays to the Artemis III mission due to issues with the Vulcan rocket and BE4 engines.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentWe use Zoom phone numbers for program participation.For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

What if the foundation of your child's lifelong health begins long before the first bite of solid food? In this episode, Kate Pope, founder of the Mama Baby Biome, explains why preparing for pregnancy, nourishing the maternal microbiome, and protecting a baby's earliest microbial exposures may be some of the most important investments parents can make. Drawing from both her professional training and her own birth experiences—including an unexpected cesarean followed by a successful home birth—Kate shares practical guidance for supporting both mother and baby through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and the introduction of first foods.   Kate explains why the microbiome influences everything from digestion and immunity to allergies, eczema, and even picky eating. She discusses the critical role of postpartum healing, why breast milk is far more than nutrition, and why she believes meat stock—not rice cereal or fruit—is the ideal first food for babies. She also offers hope for parents whose children are already struggling with food sensitivities or selective eating, showing that it's never too late to rebuild health from the inside out. Whether you're planning a pregnancy, raising young children, or simply curious about how our earliest nutritional choices shape lifelong wellness, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how traditional foods can help build healthier families for generations to come.

How does the Trinity doctrine remove Jesus away from us? What is the connection between the Pope and the SDA church? This is a serious warning message. It's not for the faint of heart.

It's Monday and Lauretta welcomes back Mary Fiorito (former WOC host and co-host) back to the show today to tackle prayer and praying with the Pope.  They catch up and chat about the crazy weather in the Midwest this summer as Mary drives in the torrential rain.  We go to break hoping Mary can find a safe space to continue her participation.  After the break, Mary is safe and they lean into discussing prayer, referencing Pope Leo videos promoting prayer as well as his words to encourage SILENCE and to LISTEN for God. In particular they discuss forms of prayer and the fulfillment that it brings.  As they talk they acknowledge that there is misfortune and that despite the bad times, we can experience joy in God through prayer as Pope Leo has expressed many times in his speeches.  They touch on experiences and situations that have been blessings to themselves as well as themselves being blessings to others reminding us that we can always be a blessing to others if we just allow God to work through us.  So let us all stop and be silent as we listen for God.

From disability metaphors to narratives structured around bodies presented as aberrant, early medieval English thoughtworlds conveyed the promise of resurrection and the hope of salvation through crip and disabled bodies. Light of the Everlasting Life: Disability and Crip Eschatology in Old English Literature (U Michigan Press, 2025) argues that early medieval Christian eschatology, as manifested in Old English literary texts, was a crip eschatology: a theology of the afterlife that relied upon disabled bodies and concepts related to disability in order to convey promises of resurrection and salvation. In addition to demonstrating how literature manifested theological approaches to the afterlife, Leah Pope Parker articulates the ways of thinking about bodies and disability that were available to ordinary early medieval people, many of whom experienced their bodies in ways that resonate with what we call disability today, but who rarely appear in the historical record. By analyzing Old English texts, including Alfredian translations, Ælfric's saints' lives, and poetry from the Exeter and Vercelli Books, Parker introduces novel ways of characterizing disability's effects in literature. "Spiritual prosthesis" reveals rhetorical, narrative, and theological reliance upon disability to convey the promise of a Christian afterlife. "Systems of aberrance" emerge as a result, in which bodies marked as deviant--including disabled, monstrous, heroic, saintly, and dead bodies--form a network of embodiments that reinforce the narratives they inhabit and that of Christian salvation history.

Abby and Patrick welcome writer, critic, and religion scholar Jack Hanson for an in-depth and wide-ranging conversation about the politics and social significance of the contemporary Catholic Church. With Jack's new piece in Harper's, “Radical Reformation: The Catholic Church's Progressive Revival,” as a guide, the three put the accession of the Chicago-born Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV into the context of the Church's complicated relationship with modern geopolitics, economic pressures, and technological change. From papal critiques of nineteenth century industrialization to the emergence of liberation theology in the Global South to the impact of Vatican II and beyond, Jack walks Abby and Patrick through the intellectual traditions and internal tensions that have shaped the Church's attitudes towards the state, the market, and secular political ideologies. Going beyond headlines and reductive soundbites, Jack helps Abby and Patrick situate the contradictions of American Catholicism – embodied most visibly in the reactionary politics of figures like J.D. Vance – within a broader narrative of US imperial decline and crises of institutional legitimacy and moral authority. As a case in point, the three turn to the Pope's recent encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, its provocative assessment of AI specifically, and its account of conditions of contemporary anomie more generally. What ensues is a conversation about desire, fantasy, technology, solidarity, and what it means to be human.Jack Hanson, “Radical Reformation: The Catholic Church's Progressive Revival”: https://harpers.org/archive/2026/08/radical-reformation-jack-hanson-catholic-church-progressive/Jack's Substack, Phantom Heresy: https://phantomheresy.substack.com/Jack on Magnifica Humanitas on the Know Your Enemy podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4OZialymsdMglvaEdujzx2More by Jack on the Catholic Church:“The Text That May Be Key to How the New Pope Thinks,” https://www.thenation.com/article/society/pope-leo-xiv-rerum-novarum-socialism/“Last Rites,” https://www.nybooks.com/online/2024/10/20/last-rites-death-penalty-catholic-church/“Mamdani's Newest Ally: The Catholic Church?”: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/mamdanis-newest-ally-the-catholic-church.html“The Heresy of Americanism,” https://newsletter.thedriftmag.com/p/the-heresy-of-americanism“The Post-Francis Church,” https://yalereview.org/article/pope-francis-death-future-catholocismHave you noticed that Freud is back?

Morgan Pope Recaps Big Brother 28 Week 2 Eviction Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 faces a crossroads as alliances shift and trust breaks under the surface. Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong, joined by Mari Forth and BB27’s Morgan Pope, cover the second eviction night in a live recap, digging into the strategies and social game shaking up the house. This episode kicks off with the fallout from Rome's eviction, spotlighting his short-lived but bold gameplay, including his ill-fated campaigning and a showmance with Lyric that leaves lingering questions for her game now that he's gone. The Toolshed alliance's stability is in question, with discussions on whether its members might scatter if power changes hands. Meanwhile, alliances like the Crossovers and the Red Corner are under strain as Angela and Dee debate nominating Drew, not realizing he sees their group as his true loyalty. Competition beast Jason wins the Blockbuster, causing others to consider whether letting him stay puts their own games at risk, while Melody and Mallory become possible swing players after the vote. The hosts and guests also compare Lyric's trajectory now that she is playing solo and discuss the tricky aftermath of a single rogue vote for Rome. Morgan points out Rome's mistake in telling HOH Devens who to save, rather than working with him. Mari analyzes how Rome's exit might actually help his relationship with Lyric, referencing showmances that thrive outside the house. Taran explains why the Crossovers still hold Drew's loyalty, but misreadings by Angela and Dee could set off a storm if they act on their suspicions. Recap of Jason's comp prowess and messy gameplay, with Mari highlighting his unique energy and entertainment value. The group discusses the one pro-Rome vote from Taylor and its potential consequences, including blame possibly shifting to Drew or Lyric. With the big alliances unstable and Lyric flying under the radar, the next HOH could shake everything up. Will the Toolshed hold, or is a major power shift coming? Tune in for the complete episode recap and all the drama of eviction night. 00:00 Big Brother 28 Eviction Night Recap Begins 03:04 Rome's Big Brother Exit Examined 08:09 Jason's Competition Win Shakes House 14:12 Dee and Angela Target Drew 19:04 Barrett's Position in Big Brother 23:12 Drew and Barrett's Final Two 27:32 Lyric's Game After Rome's Exit 33:29 Taylor's Lone Vote for Rome 38:07 Celebrity Shoutouts in Big Brother 45:00 Rome's Goodbye to Lyric and House 52:00 Julie's Wedding Song Mix-Up 57:20 Ross Mathews' History With Jason 01:02:10 Morgan On Playing Big Brother 01:08:05 Angela's Powerless Future Discussed Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Big Brother coverage!

Political theology is finally having its moment — every op-ed columnist reaching for Christian nationalism, every neoreactionary tech founder invoking the katechon, every mainline pastor watching JD Vance lecture the Pope about just war doctrine, every abolitionist community organizer working the intersection between the sacred and the political. And yet almost no one seems to know what political theology actually is. Luke Bretherton and Vincent Lloyd — two of the three co-authors of a genuinely important new Columbia University Press book, What Is Political Theology? — sat down with me to explain what they had done. The book itself models the thing it argues for: three scholars from three disciplines refusing to synthesize their differences and instead sitting inside the productive tension. In one hour we cover why the standard Carl Schmitt genealogy needs to be de-centered, what from above and from below are actually good for, why secularism is not a neutral space but an ideology, what Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures accidentally reveal, why Richard Dawkins now identifies as a cultural Christian, and what the difference between apophatic and cataphatic is currently doing to Luke's and Vincent's friendship. Live disagreement, on tape. The nice version. You can watch the video on YouTube Dr. Luke Bretherton is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, one of the most senior chairs in British theology, appointed by the Crown. Previously, he was Robert E. Cushman Distinguished Professor of Moral and Political Theology at Duke Divinity School. An ordained Church of England priest. Dr. Vincent W. Lloyd is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies and Director of the Center for Political Theology at Villanova University, and an editor of the journal Political Theology.  The book at the center of this conversation is What Is Political Theology?, co-authored with Dr. Valentina Napolitano, Professor of Anthropology and Connaught Scholar at the University of Toronto, whose chapter offers an anthropological political theology out of her research on global Catholicism, migration, and the U.S./Canada borderlands.

After a near-death experience, Kate Clinch became drawn into the astonishing, Gothic story of a young Australian woman named Eileen O'Connor, who is buried under the floorboards of a home in Coogee.Kate was working as a GP in country South Australia when an ectopic pregnancy nearly killed her.She had a vivid near death experience, which prompted her to start interrogating inexplicable and miraculous events.Kate hadn't grown up Catholic, or even religious, but years after her near death experience, she was drawn into the story of a young Australian saint-in-waiting named Eileen O'Connor.Eileen lived in Sydney at the turn of the 20th century.She lived with profound physical disabilities, standing at only 115cm tall, but somehow she managed to head up a group of nurses who delivered free medical care to people living in the slums of Sydney.Eileen's story is an astounding collection of ups and downs - suffering, tragedy, a scandalous relationship with a young priest, threats of excommunication, a wartime sea voyage to Rome and a meeting with the Pope.And she is currently being scrutinised by the Vatican for possible canonisation, which would make Eileen Australia's second saint.Every Inch a Saint is published by Monkfish.Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor has been caring for the sick and disadvantaged in their own homes for more than 100 years. You can read more about the religious order and the lay nurses who work with the nuns - colloquially known as the Brown Nurses - online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores spirituality, dying, sickness, religion, faith, Christianity, Catholic Church, World War One, Spanish Influenza, TB, Tuberculosis, history, Australian history, nuns, priests, scandal, people living with disability, sainthood, miracles, near death experiences, metaphysical experiences, motherhood, doctoring, medicine, modern medicine, x-rays, medical history, resilience, divinity, holy, the divine, sainthood, how does someone become a saint, what is a miracle, living with disability, spinal deformity, grief, death.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Patrick brings listeners into unpredictable conversations surrounding faith, reverence, and Catholic identity, weaving stories of Eucharistic practices, Church scandals, and the tension between belief and public life. He fields raw questions about Eucharistic miracles, college faith crises, and Catholic politicians who support abortion, compelling callers to confront uncomfortable truths. With candid storytelling, Patrick propels the discussion forward, sometimes pausing for reflection, sometimes challenging the status quo, always inviting listeners to grapple with the real-world consequences of faith. Jackie - I have a friend who is Ukrainian Orthodox who received communion at Catholic Mass. I understand that we can't receive at an Orthodox Church. Is that right? (00:36) Tye - Can you advise me on how to make it through my first year of college? (04:49) Audio: 32/35 students failed this professor's midterm using AI because he secretly hid some white font in his text. - https://x.com/stoppfeenin/status/2080089314495742209?s=43%22%3Ehttps://x.com/stoppfeenin/status/2080089314495742209?s=43%3C/a (10:47) Todd - A few Sundays ago, a Eucharistic minister gave someone the Eucharist. He put it in his pocket and took one to ingest himself. Will the host he put in his pocket have the same 'effect' for the person receiving it? (13:36) Ray - I want to know about the silence and tolerance of all the money all the dioceses of the country are giving out to silence abused children. Why doesn't the Pope excommunicate them? (21:39) Jim - I watched Masses on TV and in Pittsburgh, and nobody bows their head at the name of Jesus in churches anymore. Old people were taught to bow their heads, but everyone has stopped. (28:57) Jamie - When I was in high school at a Catholic high school, the priest in charge did some harmful things. He was convicted and put in jail. It happens. Also, why doesn't the church come down hard on politicians that are ultimately for abortion? (36:50) Carla - Here we are attacking politicians. Politicians don't tell you to get abortions. The people make the decision themselves. Why are we attacking politicians? People get them because they want them. They're committing the sin. I'm a Catholic and a Democrat. (45:03)
