The platforms remain offline more than three weeks later in the lead-up to October's presidential and parliamentary elections. The timing of the shutdown also coincides with the kidnapping of Ugandan journalist, lawyer, and Oslo Freedom Forum speaker Agather Atuhaire, who says she was tortured and sexually assaulted while in Tanzanian custody before being left at the border between Tanzania and Uganda. Recently, the government also banned the use of foreign currency in daily transactions, forcing citizens to rely on the weakening Tanzanian shilling. And in April, the opposition CHADEMA party was disqualified from participating in the October elections under the pretense of treason against party leader Tundu Lissu. The censorship of online platforms, suppression of opposition and dissidents, and laws banning foreign currency all signal a coordinated strategy to silence criticism and strip Tanzanians of both their political voice and financial autonomy.

This week on SouthBound, host Tommy Tomlinson talks to Jeremy Markovich, whose newsletter, the North Carolina Rabbit Hole, covers all manner of strange and wonderful little stories about the Tar Heel state.
What happens when the fairy tale turns out to be a gilded cage? In part two this raw and revealing exploration, we continue our conversation about Crystal Hefner's memoir "Only Say Good Things" alongside Holly Madison's "Down the Rabbit Hole" to uncover the dark reality behind the Playboy Mansion's glamorous façade. The conversation peels back layers of manipulation, control, and psychological erosion that defined life for Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. Despite the surface-level luxuries—weekly allowances, on-demand meals, and leisure time—both women describe a suffocating environment of strict curfews, surveillance, and emotional abuse. "It was an invisible trap framed by the language of choice," Crystal writes, capturing how even their apparent freedom was an illusion. Brett and I thoughtfully explore the complexity of these women's experiences, wrestling with challenging questions: Why didn't they just leave? What kept them returning? How do we reconcile their agency with the manipulation they faced? Through this nuanced discussion, we try to understand how gradually these women lost their sense of identity and worth outside the mansion's walls—to the point where both became suicidal and required medication for depression. Crystal's journey—escaping, returning, marrying Hefner, and finally finding herself after his death—ultimately offers hope. "I used to only say good things, but now I say whatever I want," she concludes, reclaiming her voice after years of silence. Her story reminds us that true freedom isn't about material luxury but about maintaining your identity, even in the most golden of cages. Join us for this powerful conversation about power dynamics, self-worth, and the courage it takes to finally tell your truth.Subscribe now to hear the full episode and support women's stories being told in their own words.Listener discretion advised: this episode includes adult language and discussion about sexual abuse and traumaSupport the show:On Patreon Buy us a book Buy cute merch If you have any comments or questions, please connect with me on Instagram or email babesinbooklandpodcast@gmail.com.

The salient point of our discussion centers on the intricate relationship between free will, divine purpose, and the nature of prayer. We delve into the profound implications of understanding that while God invites us to engage with Him, it is crucial to recognize the distinction between merely asking for our desires and seeking alignment with His will. Throughout our dialogue, we explore the concept that God's answers to our prayers—whether they manifest as "yes," "no," or "not yet"—serve a greater purpose in our spiritual growth and maturity. Additionally, we emphasize the necessity of cultivating an intimate relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, and community, highlighting that our journey of faith is one of continuous learning and discovery. Ultimately, we encourage listeners to embrace the complexity of their spiritual journeys, acknowledging that both questions and uncertainties are integral to deepening their understanding of God and His plans for their lives.Takeaways: This episode emphasizes the importance of understanding that our discussions are not necessarily reflective of absolute beliefs, but rather explorations of thoughts that arise in the moment. Throughout the podcast, we discussed the need for a personal relationship with God, which is paramount in guiding our spiritual journey and understanding His will. The speakers shared their personal experiences of prayer, emphasizing the need for authenticity and openness in communicating with God, regardless of the circumstances. An essential takeaway from this episode is that the journey of faith is continuous, requiring us to seek understanding and engage deeply with our beliefs and the scriptures.

The salient point of our discussion centers on the intricate relationship between free will, divine purpose, and the nature of prayer. We delve into the profound implications of understanding that while God invites us to engage with Him, it is crucial to recognize the distinction between merely asking for our desires and seeking alignment with His will. Throughout our dialogue, we explore the concept that God's answers to our prayers—whether they manifest as "yes," "no," or "not yet"—serve a greater purpose in our spiritual growth and maturity. Additionally, we emphasize the necessity of cultivating an intimate relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, and community, highlighting that our journey of faith is one of continuous learning and discovery. Ultimately, we encourage listeners to embrace the complexity of their spiritual journeys, acknowledging that both questions and uncertainties are integral to deepening their understanding of God and His plans for their lives.Takeaways: This episode emphasizes the importance of understanding that our discussions are not necessarily reflective of absolute beliefs, but rather explorations of thoughts that arise in the moment. Throughout the podcast, we discussed the need for a personal relationship with God, which is paramount in guiding our spiritual journey and understanding His will. The speakers shared their personal experiences of prayer, emphasizing the need for authenticity and openness in communicating with God, regardless of the circumstances. An essential takeaway from this episode is that the journey of faith is continuous, requiring us to seek understanding and engage deeply with our beliefs and the scriptures.

Send us a textTiny explores Rabbit Hole's Hiegold Single Barrel Cask Strength bourbon while discussing the brand's artistic approach to bottle design and distillery architecture. We take a deep dive into the complex nature of bourbon blending, aging conditions, and how whiskey changes over time.• Rabbit Hole Distillery founded by Kaveh Zamanian creates bourbon that captures the essence of what you smell in actual rickhouses• Kentucky exclusive Hiegold features special label designs by Mark Gagnon celebrating Ohio's aviation history• The Louisville distillery offers a modern architectural experience culminating in a sixth-floor bar with city views• Rabbit Hole's lineup includes Cave Hill (standard bourbon), Hiegold (high rye), DARERINGER (sherry finished), and Boxergrail (rye)• Discussion of how bourbon consistency was the industry standard until about 10 years ago when batch variation became desirable• Experiment mixing Cave Hill and Hiegold together created a distinct gingerbread cookie flavor not present in either bourbon alone• Environmental factors affecting bourbon from production through transportation and shelf storage significantly impact flavor• Upcoming podcast featuring Greg Schneider and his new Four Branches Distillery's 9-year Kentucky straight bourbonPlease support our sponsors: Middle West Spirits (check out their new purchase of Old Elk), Whiskey Thief Distillery, Spirit of French Lick, Rosewood Bourbons and Ryes, and Alan Bishop's One Piece at a Time Distilling Institute.Bourbon enthusiasts know that every bottle tells a story, but Rabbit Hole takes this concept to artistic heights with their intricately designed single barrel releases. Tiny explores their Hiegold expression – a bourbon featuring German rye that captures the authentic essence of what you smell walking through a Kentucky rickhouse rather than the caramel-sweet profiles dominating today's market.The episode peels back the layers on Rabbit Hole's Louisville distillery, a modern architectural marvel where visitors spiral alongside the still, culminating at a sixth-floor bar overlooking the city. Unlike traditional Kentucky distilleries that lean heavily on heritage, founder Kaveh Zamanian has created a contemporary bourbon experience that honors tradition through flavor rather than façade.What truly captivates is Tiny's deep dive into bourbon's evolution over the past decade. Where consistency once reigned supreme, today's market celebrates batch variation – a marketing revolution pioneered by legends like Elmer T. Lee, Jimmy Russell, and Booker Noe who transformed "inconsistency" into exclusivity. Similarly, finished whiskeys once derided by purists are now embraced as innovative expressions of the distiller's craft.The most fascinating segment comes when Tiny experiments with mixing bourbons, discovering how Cave Hill and Hiegold together create a distinct gingerbread cookie note absent in either bourbon independently. This sparks a broader discussion about how bourbon's chemical composition continuously evolves through production, transportation, storage conditions, and even how it settles on your shelf at home.Whether you're a bourbon novice or connoisseur, this episode offers valuable insights into how environmental factors shape what's in your glass, why modern distilleries are embracing batch variation, and why the seemingly simple act of If You Have Gohsts voice over Whiskey ThiefSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/
We're back with a new show in back to back weeks. Feels like it's been a while since we could say that. The crew is hoping that everyone is getting prepped for the summer. We take a moment diving into the idea of a podcast covering shows. We dive into the Johnny Depp career and where it's going oat the moment as we find a way talking about Monty Python. Sam brings up the youth's love for the prequels of Star Wars. Turns out, she's not a fan of this. We dive down the rabbit hole of spin off TV shows. We forget the reach That JAG had in the world creating of NCIS. This leads us down looking into the diversity of certain shows or the lack of that. Surprising to see that it was missing in the 90s.

Culture, Hip Hop, the War on Drugs, and More – with TouréIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz is joined by Touré—acclaimed writer, music journalist, cultural critic, and television personality—for a wide-ranging conversation on culture, hip hop, and the impact of the War on Drugs. Drawing from his decades of experience in media and music commentary, Touré reflects on the cultural power of hip hop, the societal consequences of punitive drug policies, and the broader political and racial dynamics at play. With his trademark insight and candour, Touré offers a compelling perspective on the intersection of art, policy, and identity in America today.Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand's philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand's teachings.Explore his work and journey further through his books:“Down the Rabbit Hole”: https://www.amazon.com.au/Down-Rabbit-Hole-Corrections-Encourages/dp/197448064X“View from a Cage”: https://books2read.com/u/4jN6xj join our Ayn Rand Adelaide Meetups here for some seriously social discussions on Freedom https://www.meetup.com/adelaide-ayn-rand-meetup/
Stephanie Kemmerer spent years spiraling through conspiracy theories—from 9/11 truthers to reptilian overlords—before a single, personal conversation snapped her back to reality. Her journey through the world of conspiracy theories reveals how trauma, alienation, and the search for meaning can lead us deep into illusion. In this conversation, she reflects on the allure of certainty, the cost of disconnection, and what it really takes to wake up from a comforting lie. https://www.patreon.com/knoxrobinson https://www.amandaknox.com Bluesky: @amandaknox.com | @wisecracker.bsky.social IG: @amamaknox | @emceecarbon Free: My Search for Meaning: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Crystal Hefner's memoir "Only Say Good Things" takes us behind the glittering façade of the Playboy Mansion into a world of manipulation, trauma, and ultimately, self-discovery. Brett joins me to unpack this raw, unflinching account that exposes the dark reality of Hugh Hefner's empire and the psychological toll it took on the women within it.Our conversation doesn't shy away from difficult truths. We explore how Crystal's early trauma—losing her father at age 12 and experiencing multiple sexual assaults—created patterns that made her vulnerable to manipulation. "I wanted a mother, but she wanted a new man," Crystal writes about her mother's response to grief, setting the stage for a lifetime of seeking validation from men. Her journey from a self-destructive 22-year-old to Hugh Hefner's girlfriend and eventually his wife reveals how easily vulnerable young women were pulled into this predatory environment.What makes this discussion particularly compelling is how it compares Crystal's experiences with those of Holly Madison from "Down the Rabbit Hole." The similarities are striking: both women entered believing they had power in the relationship, only to discover they were being systematically broken down and controlled. We examine how Hefner created a competitive environment among his girlfriends, using their insecurities to maintain control while presenting a sanitized version of his life to the public through shows like "The Girls Next Door."The memoir challenges us to question broader cultural issues around sexual exploitation, consent, and the way society often blames victims rather than confronting predatory behavior. In part one, as Brett and I discuss Crystal's early years up until that fateful night she attended the Halloween party at the mansion when her life changed forever.Join us for this thought-provoking two-part conversation that goes beyond celebrity gossip to examine the psychological impact of exploitation and the long, complex path to reclaiming one's identity and worth. This is more than just a memoir review—it's a window into how trauma shapes our choices and how even the most broken paths can eventually lead to healing.Listener discretion advised: this episode includes adult language and discussion about sexual abuse and traumaSupport the show:On Patreon Buy us a book Buy cute merch If you have any comments or questions, please connect with me on Instagram or email babesinbooklandpodcast@gmail.com.

I absolutely loved recording this episode with Hoa. We first met through my Tuesday night quiz at Rabbit Hole, and her warmth, wit, and honesty always stood out. This chat went from laugh-out-loud moments to some truly eye-opening reflections about culture shock, navigating visa bureaucracy, and the sometimes ridiculous expectations placed on Vietnamese women, especially when they marry foreigners.I had a lot to talk about, from Grab drivers not understanding northern accents to what it's like going through a U.S. visa interview during a pandemic, and why Vietnamese weddings feel more like family transactions than personal celebrations. Hoa brought raw honesty, insight, and that cheeky energy that makes her so much fun to talk to.Key Talking PointsWhat it's like to experience culture shock as a Vietnamese person moving from Hanoi to SaigonThe bureaucratic nightmare of getting a U.S. tourist visa—and how Hoa finally got approvedHoa's candid take on being judged for marrying a foreigner (and how she clapped back)The emotional toll of career burnout and planning a 500-person weddingThe hilarious and bittersweet origin story of her nickname “Chang”Observations on American vs. Vietnamese culture, kindness, and food portionsChapters and Timestamps01:00 – Hoa's journey: from Hanoi to Saigon and why she “ran away”08:00 – Hanoi vs. Saigon: culture clash & accent issues14:30 – The U.S. visa nightmare and awkward interview questions23:00 – First time in the U.S.: kindness, sticker shock, and scooters31:00 – Career burnout, moving cities & dealing with depression38:00 – Vietnamese weddings: stress, scale, and social expectations41:30 – Stereotypes of Vietnamese women & being married to an American"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh The full list of winners is here.
