Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher are joined by journalist Carlos Barragán, whose new book is called The Yahoo Boys: Love, Deception, and the Real Lives of Nigeria's Romance Scammers. After his own mother is targeted by a scammer pretending to be an American soldier, reporter and researcher Barragán made his way down to Lagos, Nigeria to investigate the so-called "Yahoo Boys," young men who catfish millions out of lonely victims. Barragán immerses himself in the group, exploring how scamming has been shaped by the global economy, how it has become a local industry and how these young men are finding agency, experiencing loss, and navigating their lives online and off.
Carlos Barragan's book The Yahoo Boys schooled us on the huge and terrifying world of online moneymaking scams. From the romance scams (pretending to be a man or woman you are not, wooing others into sending you money), to celeb scams (pretending to be a celebrity for money), all the way to adoption scams (send us money, we will get you a baby). As horrible as these schemes are, Barragan takes an in depth look at the scammers, specifically in the community of Ikotun, Nigeria, painting a thorough portrait of the scammers and the loneliness in our world that allows them to thrive.

What happens when we stop designing care around institutions and start designing it around people? In this week's episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with internationally recognized dementia care innovator Eloy van Hal, to answer this question. Drawing on decades of experience in the Netherlands, Eloy tells Susan how he helped move residents from traditional high-rise nursing homes into small, neighborhood-style homes where daily life feels familiar, meaningful, and human. As founder of the groundbreaking Hogeweyk model of dementia village in the Netherlands, van Hal discusses the philosophy behind it and the broader movement toward relationship-based, person-directed dementia care. Their conversation explores the importance of trust, family education, staff development, and stakeholder collaboration in creating cultures of care that honor the person beyond the diagnosis.

Eleanor Barraclough explores the hidden histories of the Viking Age by focusing on the real lives of Norse individuals through everyday objects rather than modern myths. A primary example is a 1200 AD runic message discovered on a sliver of wood in Bergen, Norway, from a woman named Gytha who writes "Gytha says that you should go home" to her husband while he was drinking in a tavern. While Gytha's message is clear, her husband's attempt at a response on the other side is completely unintelligible, likely due to his inebriated state. These spiky runes were often carved into hard surfaces like wood, stone, or even bone to serve as private, personal communications. Barraclough, who has a background in Old Norse language and literature, derived the title of her book, "Embers of the Hands," from an Old Norse kenning for gold which she repurposed to symbolize precious human stories found in historical ephemera. The Viking Age itself is traditionally marked by the shocking 793 AD raid on the rich monastery at Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, which sent terror-filled shockwaves across Europe. This era is characterized by a vast diaspora reaching from Arctic Scandinavia to the North Atlantic and eastward down Eurasian waterways to the Islamic Caliphate. 1/81600 SCANDANAVIA

She highlights a 1200 AD runic message from a woman named Gytha ordering her husband home from a tavern.

1. Everyday Objects and the Shocking Start of the Viking Age Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age The book uses everyday objects to explore the real lives of the people known as Vikings. For example, a runic message carved on wood from Norway around 1200 AD shows a woman named Gia telling her inebriated husband, who is in a tavern, to come home. Runes were spiky letters often carved into hard surfaces like wood or bone, possibly originating during the Roman Empire. The book's title is a kenning, an Old Norse poetic device in which "Embers of the Hands" originally meant gold but here refers to precious, personal objects. The Viking Age is generally dated from 750 to 1100 AD, with a defining start marked by the shocking raid on the wealthy monastery at Lindisfarne in 793 AD.

A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing “a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis.” We also report the “highest rate of being very happy.” To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness. Dr. Jenet Erickson, a fellow of the Wheatley Institute and a professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, recently dove into these findings and is here to share what she learned. The real stories of Latter-day Saint women are ones of peace, power, and strength that shine brighter than any viral trend. We are women of conviction who love and serve God and each other with all of our hearts.

On night two of the Berlin Ale Film Festival there was a second screening of the movie Christy in a more intimate venue, and a chance for me to relax and properly watch the movie. During the course of the evening I spoke with some of the stars behind the movie and I also hit the record button during the Kabin Crew performance, and the audience question and answer session with the cast and the audience after the show. The film really connected with the audience and while the questions they asked were really interesting, some of the answers were quite hilarious and you just might get a flavour of real Cork like! The movie was about real lives, it captured both the dark and the light, and in many ways it was art imitating life. On today's podcast I captured some of the magic from this very special night.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, philosopher Jerry L. Martin is joined by Abigail L. Rosenthal for an intimate conversation about divine encounters, spiritual awakening, and what it means to experience a radically personal God. Drawing from Jerry's new book Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the discussion explores how spiritual truth is not one-size-fits-all and why each individual's connection to the divine can look entirely unique.Jerry reflects on being called to tell God's story across different cultures and religious traditions, while Abigail shares a powerful mystical experience that sustained her through a long and painful chapter in her life. Together, they discuss Jewish philosophy, personal spirituality, the rejection of Original Sin, and how trusting one's inner spiritual compass can lead to deep transformation.This episode speaks directly to seekers, skeptics, and anyone exploring their own spiritual path. It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue.

Immigration in the U.S. is more than headlines and border walls — it's a complex system that touches millions of lives, often in invisible ways. In this episode of We Vote Too, we break down what's going on: from visa categories and green card backlogs to DACA, asylum, and undocumented status.We explain how these systems work (and don't), what's changed under recent federal crackdowns, and why immigration raids — like the ones unfolding in cities like Los Angeles — are just the tip of a much deeper policy iceberg.Our guest, human rights and immigration attorney Yannick Gil, helps us understand how enforcement priorities have shifted, the impact on communities, and what legal protections remain in place.Most importantly, we explore how these policies affect all of us — not just immigrants — and share tangible ways you can support families, combat misinformation, and advocate for meaningful reform.Whether you're brand new to this issue or deep in the work, this is your immigration explainer, action guide, and human story — all in one.⏱️ Episode Timestamps00:00 – Legal disclosure (gotta keep it official)00:33 – Intro music (get in the vibe)00:48 – Trump's War on Immigration04:31 – Interview begins with Yannick Gil: The State of Immigration05:55 – What's the difference between a refugee, an asylum seeker, someone protected by DACA, and someone here on a visa?11:30 – The benefits of a robust immigrant population14:30 – What does come here "the right way" mean?

What's it like to have to work physically hard to make a living in America today? In A Living, the writer and physician Michael Stein shares conversations with his working-class patients. He explores how work shapes identity, provides meaning beyond income, and impacts upon physical and mental health. Stein promotes the dignity of physical labor, noting that many workers find deep satisfaction in producing tangible results, while highlighting how America's healthcare system often fails to recognize the importance of work in patients' lives. Five Key Takeaways* Work is deeply meaningful beyond income - people work to make friends, exert power, learn new skills, and find purpose. For many working-class Americans, their labor provides a core sense of identity and belonging.* Physical labor often provides a satisfaction that "b******t jobs" (white-collar positions) lack, as workers can see the tangible results of their efforts at the end of the day, giving them a sense of accomplishment.* The American healthcare system spends too much on treatment and not enough on prevention, with doctors having limited time to understand the full context of patients' lives, including how their work affects their health.* The rise of AI may flip traditional hierarchies, potentially making physical labor more secure and valued than knowledge work, as robots won't easily replace plumbers, electricians, and other skilled manual laborers.* Unemployment is fundamentally unhealthy - when factories close or people lose physical work, it has measurable negative impacts on community health outcomes, highlighting work's importance to wellbeing beyond financial security.

Emily joins us to rage against the misconceptions surrounding medieval princesses, challenging the notion that they were merely passive, delicate figures.Debunking the Fairy Tale Princess:Emily dismantles the stereotype of the medieval princess as a demure and obedient figure, arguing that these women were often politically astute, educated, and active members of society.She traces the origin of this myth to Victorian nostalgia and the romanticised portrayals in art and media.Real Princesses, Real Power:Discover the true stories of medieval princesses like Margaret of England and Eleanor of Woodstock, who defied expectations and wielded influence in their own right.Explore the concept of "soft power" and how princesses used it to navigate the political landscape of their time.Modern Parallels:Emily examines the enduring challenges faced by women in positions of power, drawing parallels between medieval princesses and contemporary figures like Princess Anne.She highlights the ongoing struggle for autonomy and the right to define one's own role in society.Join us as Emily passionately argues that medieval princesses were far more complex and influential than the fairy tales suggest. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in uncovering the realities of medieval life and challenging long-held historical myths.For more insights, check out Emily's book, "Regina: The Queens Who Could Have Been" and follow her on social media at @EmilyEKMurdochYou can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage or Paul individually @PaulBavill and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.You can join our 'Angry Mob' on Patreon as well. £5 per month gets you episodes 3 months early, access to livestreams, the invite to choose questions, entry into our prize draws and the coveted History Rage mug.

Human smugglers are oftentimes hired by migrants to help them through inhospitable and dangerous routes on their way to the United States. But how do human smugglers, also known as coyotes or polleros, get into the business in the first place? Are they more hurtful than helpful? What is fueling their industry?Renowned anthropologist and author Jason De León tries to answer these questions in his latest book “Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope on the World of Human Smuggling.”Jason sits down with Maria Hinojosa on this episode of Latino USA to discuss the links between the booming business of human smuggling and U.S. immigration policies and much more.Follow us on TikTok and YouTube.
