This time we continue on with Prisoners of Time! Chapters 5 through 8 in which we wonder many things! We wonder why the 5th Doctor appears to be 12 years old. We wonder where this bad ass 6th Doctor has been all our lives. We wonder if it's okay to go absolutely swoon city over a cartoon Ace. And we wonder why McDonalds hasn't brought back Mac Tonight.

When "stigmatizing" has become a bad word and a bad thing everywhere and for every one, one brave British curmudgeon dares to demand it's return!  Romancing Opiates: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy By: Theodore Dalrymple Published: 2006 160 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? This book aims to shatter some of the myths around opioid addiction. The first part covers the myth that stopping opioids cold turkey is both painful and dangerous. The second part dissects the myths propagated by literature, primarily Coleridge and De Quincey. The final part ties it into an addiction bureaucracy, though that part still references De Quincey an awful lot.  What's the author's angle? Dalrymple worked as a prison doctor and psychiatrist for many years. Accordingly, he has a lot of experience with addicts. But he's also very culturally conservative. The combination of the two leads him to strongly oppose coddling addicts, arguing instead that they should be stigmatized. Who should read this book? I'm a fan of Dalrymple. I've enjoyed his columns over the years, and I appreciate his curmudgeonly British insight. I previously enjoyed and reviewed his book Life at the Bottom. I would definitely recommend that book before this book. Actually, I would not recommend this book period, unless, for some reason, you want a really deep dive into Coleridge and De Quincey's writings about opium.  Specific thoughts: Opioid addiction is not a disease?

After Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany in 1938/1939, he was conscripted into the German army and was later taken prisoner and served time as a POW for the Americans, Canadians and British.Julius shares experiences that are not as widely studied or discuss but were shared by millions of citizens occupied by the Nazis during WW2.

Main Theme: Hope in Christ is not wishful thinking — it is a confident certainty rooted in the person and promises of Jesus. Pastor Matthew taught that when our hope is centered in Christ, our joy remains steady, and when joy remains, strength endures. The message called believers to anchor hope solely in Jesus, not in people, possessions, or circumstances. The Foundation of Hope Opening with 1 Timothy 1:1 — “Jesus Christ, our hope.” The Greek word elpis means hope as a sure expectation, not uncertainty. The verb form elpo means to expect confidently — always used with “in” or “on.” Pastor explained that English hope has a question mark (“I hope it won't rain”), but biblical hope has no question mark because it rests in Jesus' finished work. “When your hope is in and on Jesus Christ, there's no question mark — because He's already overcome death, hell, and the grave.” Lesson: If our hope is placed in people, success, government, or even ourselves, disappointment is inevitable. Only hope in Christ sustains true joy and strength. The Connection Between Hope, Joy, and Strength Quoting Nehemiah 8:10 — “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Joy is sustained when hope is rightly placed. When hope shifts to unstable things, joy fades and strength follows. “If you see someone without joy, you're seeing someone who's lost strength — because their hope has drifted.” Misplaced Hope and the Trap of Blame Pastor warned that misplaced hope gives others power to manipulate our emotions: “If my hope is in someone else, then how they act determines how I feel. That's bondage.” Believers must stop blaming others for disappointment and instead reaffirm God's sovereignty. “Either God is in control of your life, or that person is — but not both.” Insight: Hope in Christ frees us from emotional control by people or circumstances. The Certainty of God's Promises Using Hebrews 11, Pastor explained that biblical hope is assurance in things unseen. The patriarchs “saw the promises afar off” and believed even when they hadn't yet received them. Their hope without a question mark made them strangers and pilgrims on earth, focused on a heavenly city. “Abraham built his altars and pitched his tents — not the other way around. We're in danger today of building our tents and pitching our altars.” Application: Believers must reorient life around eternity, not temporary comfort or possessions. Abraham: Hoping Against Hope (Romans 4:16–21) Abraham believed God's promise for a son despite being 100 years old and Sarah's womb barren. His hope wasn't natural optimism but supernatural confidence in God's word. “He hoped against hope — natural hope said it's impossible, but divine hope said, ‘God cannot lie.'” Pastor reminded that God's blessings are gifts of grace, not rewards for performance. “You can't earn it. Everything from God is a gift — received by faith, not achieved by merit.” Staying Coupled to God The Hebrew term for “upright” (Psalm 84) means “to stay coupled.” Pastor illustrated with train cars: A shiny new car and a rusty old one both reach the destination if they stay coupled to the engine. “Some of you have dents and rust from life's battles — but if you stay coupled to Jesus, you'll reach the destination.” Encouragement: Even when believers fall, they must “fall forward.” God forgives failure and restores hope. Hope Through Hard Times (Jeremiah 29:10–13) In exile, God promised Israel restoration after 70 years. Jeremiah believed enough to buy land in a desolate place, trusting God's word when it looked foolish. “You must decide whether to believe what God said — or what you see.” Pastor compared linear human logic to “block logic”: Human logic says, “If A, then B.” God's truth says, “If God said it, it's true — regardless of what A or B looks like.” Prisoners of Hope and the Example of Job (Zechariah 9:12) “Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope… I will restore double.” Job embodied this: even in suffering, he declared, “Though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God.” Because Job kept his hope, God restored him double in every area. “We don't like hard times — but God uses them to prove our hope is real.” Hold Fast Your Confidence (Hebrews 3:6; 10:19–23) True boldness before God is not emotional force but confidence in Christ's finished work. “Hold fast the confession of your hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Confidence (Greek tharseo) comes from cheer — meaning God deposits courage and strength when we abide with Him. “If you're not spending time in His presence, you're missing those divine deposits of courage that keep your hope alive.” Key Point: Our boldness comes from knowing God's heart toward us — not our performance. “I don't go to God because I've been good; I go because He's been good.” The Heart of God and True Boldness Pastor illustrated how believers often approach God differently depending on how they “performed” that week. On good weeks, we feel bold; on bad weeks, we hide. “That's Pharisee thinking — you made it about you instead of Him.” God's heart toward His children never changes. “He's the Father who hugs the son when he strikes out, not just when he hits a home run.” Final Call: Never Surrender Hope Our hope must be in and on Christ alone — not in ourselves or others. When hope stays fixed on Jesus: Joy is maintained. Strength is renewed. Faith endures through hardship. “Don't ever surrender your hope. If it's in Christ, it will win — it always bears out.” The service closed with an altar call to: Surrender misplaced hopes. Renew confidence in Christ. Come home if distant from God. Core Message Jesus Christ is our hope — not a supplement to it. Hope without a question mark produces joy, and joy gives strength. Stay “coupled” to Christ; even when you fall, get up and keep moving. Confidence before God comes from His heart toward you, not your record. Never surrender hope — because in Christ, victory is certain.

Stay tuned; this is the episode everyone will be talking about."Netanyahu's desperate attempt to secure a 'Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card' has exploded into a national crisis, with the world asking: Will This Single Request Save Netanyahu From Decades of Legal Battles?The BREAKING news that the Prime Minister officially Begs for Pardon to end his unprecedented corruption trial, despite maintaining his innocence, has led to critics calling the move a 'Deadly Blow to the Rule of Law' and a direct attempt to 'Bypass the Courts.'This Ultimate Escape Hatch has ignited a firestorm, forcing President Isaac Herzog into an UNBELIEVABLE political and constitutional standoff, will he grant the request, which the Prime Minister claims is a necessary step to promote national unity and end the trial that is 'tearing us apart from within,' or will he reject the plea, which his opponents insist must be conditioned on an admission of guilt, remorse, and an immediate retirement from political life?The Ticking Clock on this decision will determine if the embattled Prime Minister or Prisoner is allowed to halt his own trial and avoid the full scrutiny of justice.

Humans bring gender biases to their interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to new research from Trinity College Dublin and Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) Munich. The study involving 402 participants found that people exploited female-labelled AI and distrusted male-labelled AI to a comparable extent as they do human partners bearing the same gender labels. Notably, in the case of female-labelled AI, the study found that exploitation in the Human-AI setting was even more prevalent than in the case of human partners with the same gender labels. This is the first study to examine the role of machine gender in human-AI collaboration using a systematic, empirical approach. The findings show that gendered expectations from human-human settings extend to human-AI cooperation. This has significant implications for how organisations design, deploy, and regulate interactive AI systems, according to the authors. The study, led by sociologists in Trinity's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, has just been published in the journal iScience. Key findings: Patterns of exploitation and distrust toward AI agents mirrored those seen with human partners carrying the same gender labels. Participants were more likely to exploit AI agents labelled female and more likely to distrust AI agents labelled male. Assigning gender to AI agents can shape cooperation, trust, and misuse implications for product design, workplace deployment, and governance. Sepideh Bazazi, first author of the study and Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, Trinity, explained: "As AI becomes part of everyday life our findings that gendered expectations spill into human-AI cooperation underscore the importance of carefully considering gender representation in AI design, for example, to maximise people's engagement and build trust in their interactions with automated systems. "Designers of interactive AI agents should recognise and mitigate biases in human interactions to prevent reinforcing harmful gender discrimination and to create trustworthy, fair, and socially responsible AI systems." Taha Yasseri, co-author of the study and Director of the Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM) at Trinity, said: "Our results show that simply assigning a gender label to an AI can change how people treat it. If organisations give AI agents human-like cues, including gender, they should anticipate downstream effects on trust and cooperation." Jurgis Karpus, co-author of the study and Postdoctoral Researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich, added: "This study raises an important dilemma. Giving AI agents human-like features can foster cooperation between people and AI, but it also risks transferring and reinforcing unwelcome existing gender biases from people's interactions with fellow humans." The article, 'AI's assigned gender affects human-AI cooperation' by Sepideh Bazazi (TCD); Jurgis Karpus (LMU); Taha Yasseri (TCD, TU Dublin) can be read on the journal iScience website. More about the study: In this experimental study, participants played repeated rounds of the social science experiment Prisoner's Dilemma - a classic experiment in behavioural game theory and economics to study human cooperation and defection. Partners were labelled human or AI. Each partner was further labelled male, female, non-binary, or gender-neutral. The team analysed motives for cooperation and defection, distinguishing exploitation (taking advantage of a cooperative partner) from distrust (defecting pre-emptively). Findings show that gender labelling can reproduce gendered patterns of cooperation with AI. The participants were recruited in the UK, and the experiment was conducted online. The sample size was 402 participants. More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

TVC 715.2: Mitchell Hadley, author of The Electronic Mirror and Darkness in Primetime, talks to Ed about how "The General," Episode 6 of The Prisoner (ITC, 1967-1968), the classic allegorical series created by Patrick McGoohan, discusses the dangers of rapidly accumulating a vast amount of knowledge—without any understanding of what that knowledge really means. Also in this segment: Mitchell discusses One, the dystopian novel by David Karp from 1953 that Karp subsequently adapted for television in 1955 as an episode of Kraft Television Theatre. Darkness in Primetime is available wherever books are sold through Throckmorton Press and Amazon.com.

TVC 715.1: Ed welcomes back author, essayist, novelist, and TV historian Mitchell Hadley (The Electronic Mirror, ItsAboutTV.com). Mitchell's latest book, Darkness in Primetime: How Classic-Era TV Foresaw Modern Society's Descent into Hell, is a series of essays that shows how certain episodes of such classic series as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Star Trek, and The Prisoner, as well as some of the live dramas that originally aired on Studio One, Playhouse 90, and Kraft Television Theatre—all of which were originally written and broadcast in either the 1950s or 1960s—not only envisioned a society of 24/7 surveillance, thought control, disinformation, persecution, and loss of freedom, but portrayed those realities in ways that are disturbingly similar to the world that we currently occupy. Darkness in Primetime is available wherever books are sold through Throckmorton Press and Amazon.com.

Matthew 6:9-13 Praying according to God's Purpose: “Kingdom come, will be done,” Praying on Purpose – in alignment with God's purpose What would your neighborhood look like if each person received God’s love? What would your neighborhood sound like if each person shared God’s love with others? In what ways would the daily interactions change if each person shared God’s value on peace? What needs would be met and what challenges would be overcome if each person looked to Jesus as Savior King? “Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.” – Jesus in Matthew 6:9-13 “We can approach God with confidence, honestly confessing our need and heart condition. At the same time, we can learn to speak faith and align our heart, emotions, and confession with the Word of God. We can learn to pray the prayer of faith.” – Wendell Smith “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power (as it is working) and produces wonderful results.” – James 5:16 “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf and give thanks for them.” – 1 Timothy 2:1 “'Don't be afraid, Daniel,' he said to me, ‘for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.” – Daniel 10:12-13  CSB Prayer Topics for the church?

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Angela McArdle—Chair of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus and former Chair of the Libertarian National Party—about her path from local civil-liberties activism in Los Angeles to high-level federal political influence, including her pivotal role in negotiating Ross Ulbricht's presidential pardon. Angela outlines her strategy for transforming the Libertarian Party from a spoiler into a “kingmaker” that leverages ballot access and voter blocs to secure policy concessions and cabinet roles from major candidates. She also details her ongoing work to fight escalating “lawfare” against Bitcoin developers—Samurai Wallet, Tornado Cash, Bitcoin Fog, and Ian Freeman—arguing these prosecutions target free speech and financial privacy. The discussion highlights Bitcoin's importance in countering federal overreach, the need to expand Bitcoin adoption across both political tribes (not just the right), and why local political victories are often the most impactful. Angela concludes that individuals must actively take back their freedom—and that a determined 1% of the population can change history.

In this powerful episode, Inclusion Catalyst sits down with Professor Corinna Lain, legal scholar and author of the forthcoming book Secrets of the Killing State, to examine the realities behind lethal injection in the United States. Lain's work exposes a system shrouded in secrecy, built on medical misconception, and sustained by public misunderstanding. Corinna Lain's research confronts the core question: Why are states so bad at lethal injection?What emerges is a disturbing truth: the method widely perceived as humane is structurally designed to hide pain, avoid accountability, and preserve the political palatability of the death penalty. Key Themes & Insights Lethal Injection as Hidden Torture The standard three-drug protocol uses a paralytic that freezes the face and body, masking the agony inflicted by potassium chloride. Autopsies routinely show multiple puncture wounds, evidence of repeated failed IV attempts by unqualified staff. Some executions have lasted hours, including the three-hour execution of Joe Nathan James. State Secrecy and Systemic Malpractice Many executions are carried out by non-medical prison staff, not trained clinicians States source drugs from unqualified vendors, including individuals running non-pharmaceutical businesses. Protocols are frequently violated: Curtains raised too early. Media witnesses banned. IV insertions hidden from public view. Prisoners' fingers are often taped down to prevent signaling pain. The Making of the Book Lain felt spiritually called to document these abuses and persisted through a year of publisher rejections. A fortuitous meeting led to a contract with NYU Press, which will release the book Easter 2025. The manuscript is extensively documented, with 1,000+ endnotes drawn from depositions, investigative journalism, and insider accounts. The 80-Day National Book Tour Lain traveled 12,000 miles across 23 states, taking unpaid leave to bring public attention to the issue. Reception has been overwhelmingly positive — and notably, no state official has challenged her findings. Why Lethal Injection Persists Lain argues its primary function is aesthetic: to make state killing appear peaceful, preserving public support. The book reframes the death penalty debate from “Does the prisoner deserve to die?” to “Does the state deserve the power to kill?” Many people on death row undergo profound personal transformation; the state may be, in Lain's words, “killing its Pauls.” This episode is produced in partnership with the Georgia Interfaith Public Policy Center.

There are chocolates in the studio this week — albeit ones that were initially destined for our editor Darren, but let's gloss over that, shall we? In addition to raising our blood sugar levels while doing this week's show, we take a look at the harrowing true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment in Iran with Prisoner 951 on BBC1 (43:45), see if Sherlock's assistant can make it without the man himself in Watson on Sky Witness (54:35), and catch up with newly minted national treasure Alan Carr in the third series of Changing Ends on ITV (1:03:59).(Episode 364)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

After Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany in 1938/1939, he was conscripted into the German army and was later taken prisoner and served time as a POW for the Americans, Canadians and British.Julius shares experiences that are not as widely studied or discuss but were shared by millions of citizens occupied by the Nazis during WW2.

Hello Poison Friends! We are back with more horrible acts committed by Nazis in WWII. The focus for this episode is a series of experiments done mainly at Dachau, as far as we know from records that were recovered, and they centered around proposals put forth by the Air Force and Navy in Nazi Germany at that time. I will also go over some of the doctors and other personnel responsible for these horrors, such as Dr. Sigmund Rascher, and what eventually became of them. The High Altitude experiments involved forcing prisoners into a machine that could be sealed and allowed for serious pressure changes. The idea was to test the reaction of the human body to free fall from the heights of up to 68,900 ft. The pressure and lack of oxygen at that height would be devastating, especially when forced into a quick ascent and just dropped. However, this is what hundreds were made to experience in the chamber they were sealed in. Many died as a result.The Freezing Experiments were also torture. Prisoners were subjected to freezing water or made to stand naked in the freezing cold outside to simulate hypothermia and the like. They practiced various rewarming techniques on these victims as well. There were many deaths from these as well. We are also discussing experiments done on prisoners (some who had also survived previous experiments) in which they were starved and given seawater to drink. Those performing these experiments watched the victims suffer from severe dehydration and organ failure as a result. Trigger warning here for descriptive testimony at times 44:40-45:35, 46:52-51:27, and 56:12-59:10.Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

American Skyjacker (2025) is a true-crime action documentary that chronicles the story of Martin McNally, who in June 1972 hijacked an American Airlines Boeing 727, demanded $500,000 in ransom, and parachuted out of the back — modeling his crime after the infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking. McNally narrates the tale in his own words, with cinematic reenactments showing not just the hijacking but the manhunt, his prison escape attempts, and a later hijacking in 1978.Website / Screening Informationwww.americanskyjacker.comhttp://cinedump.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/americanskyjackerRotten Tomatoeshttps://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/american_skyjackerLetterboxdhttps://letterboxd.com/film/american-skyjacker/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.
