It’s the season to blame Tyra. Netflix’s new America’s Next Top Model doco has us spiraling back to 2003. It shows us the size-zero era through a 2026 lens, when Tyra Banks was breaking barriers while also showcasing some of the show's seriously batshit behaviour —from models posing as murder victims to 'makeovers' that involved pulling teeth. Now we’re in the MAFS era Clare Stephens wants to know: is every generation’s reality TV show of choice just programmed to prompt outrage? Also, today is Jessie’s last day before she goes off on maternity leave. But not before a chaotic handover to her twin, Clare. As Clare prepares to take the seat, she’s re-learning the 'rules' of being an Out Loud host. In other business, does your personality need a mini-makeover of its own? We’re talking 'micro-reinvention' — not big deals like quitting your job; more small shifts like adopting a signature condiment or finally becoming a 'Pilates person'. Holly, for instance, is wearing brown. Big deal. Huge. SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media Recommendations Clare recommends the "Brick"—a physical device that locks you out of your apps to fight phone addiction. Jessie recommends L’Occitane Osmanthus Abricot shower gel or DedCool Taunt Hand and Body Wash for the ultimate vibe shift. Holly recommends Eric Dane: Famous Last Words on Netflix—a raw interview with a man who has nothing left to lose. What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Oh Sh*t.

The New Yorker staff writer Joshua Rothman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the political and cultural fallout from the release of millions of documents from the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. They talk about how years of institutional failures and scandals involving élites have shaped the way the material is being interpreted, why the sheer volume of information is raising more questions than answers, and how the fragmented and often chaotic flow of documents has left many Americans trying to make sense of the story for themselves. They also explore what the reaction to the files reveals about a growing belief that the powerful operate with relative impunity—and about the deepening cynicism toward institutions and powerful élites. This week's reading: “Are We Living in the Age of Epstein?,” by Joshua Rothman “Donald Trump's State of the Union Was Long and Wrong,” by Susan B. Glasser “James Talarico Puts His Faith in Texas Voters,” by Tad Friend “Donald Trump's Pantomime United Nations,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The Supreme Court's Complicated Takedown of Trump's Tariffs,” by Amy Davidson Sorkin The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

In Season 2, Episode 7 of The Choice, Ghost and Ashe in America unpack the mounting consequences of unchecked power and the moment of reckoning now confronting institutions that once operated without scrutiny. The episode explores how narratives are constructed, who benefits from chaos, and what happens when long-protected systems begin to fracture under public awareness. Ghost and Ashe analyze the patterns behind coordinated messaging, political theater, and media amplification, questioning whether recent developments represent collapse, exposure, or calculated repositioning. They also examine the psychological component of information warfare, highlighting how fear, division, and distraction are leveraged to maintain control. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize personal responsibility and discernment, arguing that the “choice” is not merely political but moral and civic. As pressures build across legal, cultural, and institutional fronts, this episode frames the current moment as a test of courage, clarity, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable truths as the reckoning unfolds.
Did Doc Holliday say, “I'm your huckleberry” or “I'm your huckle bearer?” Or is the whole debate built on nothing more than an internet myth? Join me today as we break down the famous line from Tombstone to hopefully separate fact from fiction. We'll examine the original Tombstone script written by Kevin Jarre, Val Kilmer's 2020 memoir I'm Your Huckleberry, and Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest by Walter Noble Burns.

Brake Check Live, we break down three developments every carrier should be watching closely. FMCSA has issued mandatory directives surrounding non-domiciled CDLs ... a move designed to restore licensing integrity, but one that could reshape compliance exposure overnight. At the same time, the insurance market continues to reveal cracks in what was once considered trucking's last failsafe. Are carriers being judged by performance ... or by association? And finally, federal authorities have launched a multi-state sting targeting sham CDL training operations. If training has been scaled without accountability, what does that mean for sustainable safety? Joining the panel: Rob Carpenter Brandon Wiseman Truck Safe Consulting This is not a recap of headlines. This is a drivers lived experience, carrier-focused breakdown of risk, liability, and operational consequences. Brake Check is the industry wake-up call.

Episode #490: Matt Walton, a political theorist and scholar of Buddhism and politics in Myanmar, and author the acclaimed Buddhism, Politics and Political Thought in Myanmar, argues that Burmese political life cannot be understood through secular or Western democratic frameworks alone. He contends that struggles over democracy, authority, nationalism, and pluralism in the country unfold within a shared Theravāda Buddhist moral universe whose internal logics remain consistent even as they produce sharply divergent political outcomes. Ethical life, political legitimacy, and social order are deeply embedded in Buddhist moral reasoning, shaping how political ideas are articulated and contested. In his undergraduate years, he developed an interest in meditation, which took shape during his first visit to Myanmar. Initially going as a backpacker, he joined a demanding 21-day vipassanāretreat in the Mahāsi lineage in the Sagaing Hills. That retreat proved pivotal for him both as practitioner and professionally, sparking his interest how embodied Burmese Buddhism plays out in social, cultural and political spheres. Subsequent travels through Myanmar helped crystalize his awareness that democratic aspirations and rights discourse in the region operate within Buddhist concepts of causality, responsibility, and ethical conduct rather than liberal political theory. He devoted himself to the study of Burmese language, Buddhist philosophy, and political thought. Central to Walton's analysis is the relationship between lokī, the mundane sphere, and lokuttara, the supramundane orientation toward insight and liberation. These are not opposing realms but relational categories that structure political reasoning. Burmese discourse recognizes that ethical practice depends on material conditions, while also warning that excessive supramundane focus can undermine worldly governance. Political legitimacy emerges from negotiating this tension. Walton shows how Buddhist texts can generate competing political interpretations, supporting both hierarchical authority and participatory responsibility. Across history—from U Nu and Aung San to Ledi Sayadaw, Buddhist nationalism, and contemporary pluralist debates—Walton emphasizes that the same moral universe underlies empowerment and violence alike. Understanding this coherence, he insists, does not imply moral endorsement but is essential for grappling with Myanmar's political crisis and imagining more inclusive futures. Walton cautions against assuming secularism would offer a neutral alternative, noting that secular governance elsewhere remains shaped by Christian histories, and instead calls for explicit, critical engagement with Buddhist moral reasoning to identify resources for genuinely inclusive coexistence.
On Thursday, February 19, speakers dug into the latest revelations in the Epstein saga, including high-profile arrests abroad, and asked the pressing question: why is accountability happening overseas while America stalls?In this urgent Big Tent conversation, Camaron Stevenson and Nina Burleigh of COURIER, moderated by Kimberly Atkins Stohr of "The Boston Globe", explored what the document releases reveal about power, money, and political protection—and how entrenched interests may be slowing justice at home. They examined congressional inaction, the role of media pressure, and whether partisan gridlock is shielding key figures. The discussion made clear that transparency is not automatic; it's forced by public demand.Most importantly, this wasn't just analysis—it was a call to action. Attendees were urged to push representatives for full, un-redacted disclosures, support investigative journalism, and keep sustained pressure on institutions that would prefer silence.Accountability isn't a spectator sport—it's a citizen's responsibility.Want to do something tangible to help protect democracy?

In Episode 33 of The Audio Files, Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot return for Part II of their Valentine's Day deep dive, escalating the conversation into what they call “The Reckoning.” The episode continues unpacking the symbolism, history, and darker undertones surrounding the holiday, examining its origins, ritual elements, and the cultural forces that shaped its evolution. Brad and Jaytriot revisit themes introduced in Part I, layering in additional historical references, esoteric connections, and institutional influences that they argue transformed a romantic observance into something far more complex. The discussion explores power structures, religious overlays, and the blending of ancient tradition with modern consumer culture. Throughout the episode, the hosts balance research with candid commentary, challenging listeners to question the narratives embedded in familiar celebrations. “The Reckoning” frames Valentine's Day not simply as a date on the calendar, but as a lens into how history, myth, and influence operate beneath the surface of mainstream culture.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may be out of custody, but his legal position remains unresolved. Police searches have concluded at Sandringham and continue at Royal Lodge, and investigators are now reviewing evidence before consulting the Crown Prosecution Service. His release under investigation carries no bail conditions and no time limit.Charges, if they come, could take weeks or months.If prosecuted, the case would formally be styled The King v Mountbatten-Windsor — a constitutionally routine caption that would nevertheless carry extraordinary symbolism. Criminal prosecutions in England and Wales are brought in the name of the Crown, not the personal will of King Charles. But the optics of “The King versus his brother” would be unprecedented in modern times. Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

What Next? Leadership Conversations for a Better Future examines how leaders can build future-fit economies in a time of accelerating technological and societal change. This episode looks at the power shifts created by AI and digital systems - asks where real agency still lies. Hosts Lindsay Hooper and Marc Kahn sit down with Thomas Lingard, who previously founded Unilever's Global Advocacy team to influence international public policy on sustainable development and who now heads the Centre for Future Generations, to explore where the real opportunity and agency exist to ensure that emerging technologies are used in the best interest of humanity. The discussion probes how digital power is concentrating, why regulatory systems are struggling to keep pace, and what it would take to steer emerging technologies toward societal benefit rather than narrow commercial gain. Thomas highlights the leadership capacities that now matter most: ethical judgement, systems intelligence, and the confidence to question deterministic narratives about technology. The episode asks a central question: how do we build an economy where technology strengthens society - and who has the responsibility and agency to shape that path?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the darkness in the world? Do you sense a "dark agenda" at play and wonder if light can truly prevail? Are you ready to stop hovering above the world in a spiritual bubble and start stepping into it with purpose? You aren't imagining the intensity of these times, but the darkness isn't winning; its own weight is merely defeating it. Michael welcomes spiritual teachers Joy and Matt Kahn for a deep dive into what really happened in 2020 and why we are currently in the year of the "Quickening and the Reckoning". Matt and Joy share their personal journey of dismantling the "spiritual ego," moving through physical deaths and rebirths, and finding the courage to transition their work from a variety show into a mission-led partnership. Discover why the "poly-crisis" of our time is actually an invitation for the light to return to its own power, how to use your discernment to navigate deception, and why the "snake is eating its own tail" as darkness defeats itself. This isn't about escaping reality; it's about preparing to walk through it as an activated healer for your family, your community, and the world. Key Topics: The Spotlight on Darkness: Why current global deceptions are coming to the foreground so they can be witnessed as they fall away. The "Poly-Crisis" and CERN: Exploring the quantum impact of 2020 and the "Project Looking Glass" technology that hit a dead-end in 2012. Dismantling the Spiritual Ego: Why the era of the guru is over and how to transmute spiritual entitlement into humble, fierce love. The Snake Eating its Tail: Understanding why the desire for power is destined to consume itself as the collective light wakes up. The Power of Discernment: How to reconnect with the "ancestral pulses" and intuitive instincts that guide you where to go and what to do next. Willing to "Die" to Wake Up: Moving past the addiction to comfort to stand side-by-side with your neighbors for what you believe in. The Return of the Divine Feminine: Why Matt chose to pivot the channel to "Joy and Matt" to honor the equalizing shift from patriarchal structures. Activating the Healer's Code: How every person on a healing crisis is actually being initiated into becoming a leader of the new paradigm. This episode is a masterclass in resilience and truth. If you've been feeling like a pawn in a badly scripted reality show, Matt and Joy's message will remind you that the light does not need to defeat the darkness; it only needs to step forward and mobilize as one.

In Season 4, Episode 17 of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine open with a sharp critique of legacy narratives, revisiting Eric Swalwell's past writings before pivoting into breaking developments in the Florida grand jury investigation tied to John Brennan and the broader “grand conspiracy” surrounding Russiagate. The hosts examine new subpoenas, alleged coordination among former intelligence officials, and what they view as mounting panic within establishment circles, including activity surrounding the Munich Security Conference. The conversation then turns into a wide-ranging retrospective on COVID-19, from Event 201 and vaccine rollouts to hospital protocols, media messaging, and personal experiences with illness and loss. Brad and Zak question official narratives about virus origins, vaccine safety, fertility impacts, and long-term health consequences, while reflecting on how the pandemic reshaped public trust and civil liberties. The episode closes with audience Q&A, discussion of community meetups, support for independent platforms like Rumble Wallet, and a preview of next week's 9/11-focused deep dive.

Navy veteran Dr. Theodore Roosevelt Johnson, his family name a legacy first chosen to honor the new possibilities for Black Americans many presidents ago, writes about a football game when he stood during the National Anthem and his son—on the field as a player—chose to kneel. Both, he argues, are acts of love of country. Ted's life, service and scholarship are a love letter to America—both when he confronts our failure and takes pride in our accomplishments. Now Ted leads New America's Us@250 initiative which "seeks to reimagine the American narrative with a focus on three themes: pride in the nation's progress, reckoning with historical and contemporary wrongs, and aspiration for a better future."

Calls for former Prince Andrew—now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—to face a formal inquiry and cooperate with ongoing investigations have intensified across the UK amid fresh revelations tied to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Recently released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice have shown extensive correspondence between Andrew and Epstein from when Andrew served as the UK's trade envoy, prompting critics to argue that these communications raise serious questions about potential misconduct, including sharing sensitive information while in public office. The Director of Public Prosecutions stressed that “nobody is above the law,” and Thames Valley Police, along with other forces, is now assessing allegations of misconduct in public office, adding to demands from figures such as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and ex-Business Secretary Vince Cable for a full police probe and parliamentary scrutiny of how Andrew's actions were handled. Anti-monarchy campaign groups have also staged protests calling for an inquiry that would extend to what senior royals knew about his links with Epstein.Alongside these UK pressures, there are domestic demands from MPs and public commentators that Andrew should be compelled to answer questions about his knowledge of Epstein's network and associated abuses, with calls for him to appear before both British authorities and, in some cases, US lawmakers. The combination of leaked files, growing media scrutiny, and vocal pressure from politicians and advocacy groups has kept the controversy in the spotlight, fuelling debate about accountability, transparency, and the role of UK institutions—including the monarchy—in addressing allegations linked to one of the most enduring scandals involving a member of the royal family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Police under renewed pressure to investigate Andrew over Epstein ties after intervention from former minister | The Independent

The Dow at 50,000 made headlines and even drifted into political theater, but beneath the surface this market is clearly split into two very different trades. The QE rotation continues to power industrials, energy, materials, utilities, and the equal-weight S&P, while the AI trade has stalled, particularly in software, as valuations reset and narratives swirl around CapEx, disruption, and whether the infrastructure cycle has peaked. In this episode, Mark and Matt break down the technical structure behind the divergence. They explain why the S&P continues to stall near 7,000 while RSP trends higher, what the MACD is actually signaling about momentum control, and why strong earnings and record profit margins are not the source of recent weakness. The feature segment then tackles the biggest AI questions investors are wrestling with right now and shifts toward the longer-term labor implications that could reshape the economic landscape.

The newest tranche of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice's Epstein Files shows that Jeffrey Epstein's reach into academia was wider than previously understood, revealing communications and interactions between the disgraced financier and faculty, administrators, and fundraisers at major universities. Emails and records include discussions about potential donations, academic projects, and introductions to other scholars, with figures at institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and Bard College appearing in the files. At Harvard, for example, correspondence shows some faculty and leaders engaging with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, while at Yale, two professors were named — one of whom has been removed from teaching while the university reviews his contact with Epstein. The documents illustrate how Epstein positioned himself as a potential benefactor to researchers and institutions, often offering a quicker route to funding than federal grants and prompting criticism about ethical compromises made in pursuit of private money.At Bard College, longtime president Leon Botstein's name appears extensively in the files, with emails showing repeated contact with Epstein over several years regarding fundraising and events; these revelations have sparked student dismay and scrutiny of how the college handled the relationship. Other universities and scholars mentioned in the broader Epstein Files — including faculty ties at Ohio State University indirectly through connections like donors or trustees — reflect the broader trend of elite academic figures maintaining some form of correspondence with Epstein, sometimes long after his criminal conduct was public. Collectively, the disclosures raise questions about the influence of wealthy private donors on higher education and the oversight universities exercised when engaging with Epstein and his network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Colleges face scrutiny over Epstein connections
By mid-March 1879, Cetshwayo kaMpande made another attempt to open talks with Chelmsford, sending his indunas to negotiate for peace — but the British had no appetite for compromise. On the 22nd March two emissaries arrived at Middle Drift, a central crossing between Natal and Zululand, but Chelmsford had already laid out rules that any Zulu representatives should communicate directly with him. Captain Frank Cherry who was He commanding officer of the 3rd Regiment, Natal Native Contingent (NNC), was stationed at Middle Drift. His job was primarily defensive—guarding that specific crossing point against a potential Zulu counter-invasion of Natal. Alongside him, F.B. Fynney - the Border Agent for the Lower Tugela. Fynney was a crucial figure because he was one of the few British officials who was fluent in Zulu and understood the nuances of Zulu diplomacy. The two messengers used their Christian names, Johannes and Klaas. They brought a message from King Cetshwayo that essentially said: "What have I done? I want peace. Let the fighting stop.” They were frigidly received and sent back with a reminder about the terms of the ultimatum before war began. The British were also fully aware that Cetshwayo had called a general muster of his army at oNdini, and believed the two messengers were actually spies. A day later, on the 23rd March, two other messengers arrived in Eshowe but Lieutenant Colonel Pearson ordered them to be clapped into irons — they were spies he said and could not be accorded the traditional sanctity they enjoyed at royal emissaries. Not to be denied, Cetshwayo, who by now had been joined by his main army and he was pondering where to send them. Unfortunately for Colonel Evelyn Wood, the Zulu King decided they should attack his column. After the largely inconsequential but shocking massacre at the Ntombe River we covered last episode, Colonel Wood was in a bit of a bind. He'd lost over 70 men on the 12th March. Still, he had something positive to report to Lord Chelmsford, Cetshwayo's eldest brother prince Hamu had decided to switch sides and support the British. Many of the men of his amaButho had fought the British at Isandlwana, and Wood promptly recruited these very same men into his column as irregular troops, despite the fact that their spears had been so recently washed by imperial British blood. It is hard to explain how the military works to most people, but battles are not carried out with the hot headedness of hate. So when a soldier wants to swap sides, usually they are debriefed, given a quick training update, checked to ensure they're not lunatics, and then given their new uniforms and weapons and signed on. They are very useful when it comes to intelligence gathering. Chelmsford was over the moon about Hamu's move, and believed what he called the “important event” would ‘spread doubt and distrust in Zululand'. Partly to alleviate the pressure on Pearson in Eshowe, and partly because he hoped to capitalise on Hamu's arrival, Chelmsford gave Wood carte blanche to make an attack on the Zulu. “If you are in a position to make any forward movement about the 27th March, so that the news may reach the neighbourhood of Eshowe about the 29th, I think it might have a good effect…” A relief column was on it's way from Natal and would soon cross the lower Thukela on its way to Eshowe. Perhaps some kind of victory to the north where Wood was operating would draw Zulu amabutho away. Wood was nothing if not a quick operator. A few days after receiving the order, on the 28th March, he launched a two-pronged attack on the abaQulusi stronghold of Hlobane Mountain. It was risky, not only did he have no idea of how many Zulu warriors faced him, he also had no idea about what lay in store on the summit.

Friends, it's been a minute. I'm deeply troubled by the times - yet, I'm honoured to share this conversation with Nisha Moodley, an integrative leadership coach, community builder, and founder of the Center for Devotional Leadership.We have been in mutual orbit for years, including sharing a number of mutual friends and an appreciation for each other's work in the realms of cultural healing. While much of our current collective attention is fixed on the horrific revelations of the Epstein files, Nisha and I sit on either side of this inquiry to ask: What is the deeper work required of us now?Nisha shares her perspective on the “holy wail” currently rising from women and mothers—a fierce refusal to continue normalizing a culture of domination and extraction. We explore the “social codes” that keep men silent and the “alpha” masks used to hide deep-seated anxiety. Together, we look at the necessity of moving beyond the trap of being a “good man” to instead take a clear-eyed look at the shadow we all carry.Central to our talk is the exploration of matriarchy- not as a mirror of patriarchal power, but a return to the sacred circle, where our societies are reorganized around kinship, service, and a “soft-bellied” freedom that makes the world safer for all our children.Subscribe to The Mythic Masculine for new episodes in your inbox.For men who wish to do this inner work, you are invited to my upcoming immersion & online cohorts: * Awakening the Wild Erotic, Vancouver Island (April 24-26) * The Deep Masculine, Online (next cohort begins May 3) As well, don't miss the innaugural Cascadia Men's Conference, happening just north of Vancouver Aug 6-9th, 2026. LINKS* Nisha Moodley Official Website* Nisha Moodley on IG* Nisha's post An Open Letter to MenSHOW NOTES* The collective “quiet heaviness” and nervous system exhaustion felt in the wake of the Epstein files and global revelations of exploitation.* Why Nisha feels a “holy wail” of rage rather than shock, as these headlines mirror patterns women have navigated for a lifetime.* The danger of distancing ourselves from “bad actors” and how that prevents us from seeing the micro-ways domination exists in our own communities.* Ian's reflection on moving from being a “good man” who points fingers to a man who stands with others to say, “Brother, we can do better.”* A story from Nisha's youth about the “parking lot code” and how social pressure often forces men to choose status over the truth.* An analysis of the “alpha” performance—using figures like Andrew Tate—as a mask for deep-seated anxiety and a desperate need for control.* How we have all internalized systems of domination and extraction, even in our most personal relationships and parenting.* Why we often use outrage as a “safe” way to avoid the deeper, more transformative vulnerability of collective grief.* The unique healing and “dropping of the guard” that happens in single-gender spaces when the performance for the other is removed.* Exploring “matriarchy” as the fundamental antidote to patriarchy—shifting from a culture of domination to one that centers the protection of life.* The shift from “power over” to “power with,” moving from ego-driven heroism to leadership rooted in service to the whole.* A closing vision of “soft-bellied” freedom—the ability to live without armor and build a world that prioritizes the well-being of all children.ALSO RECOMMENDED: This is a public episode.

It's February 2026, and everything is happening all at once. In this unfiltered bonus episode, we try to make sense of the polycrisis… from billionaires losing it (looking at you, Benioff), to the Epstein files, to AI potentially developing consciousness, to Tesla pivoting to humanoid robots. We dig into why the people with the most power and money seem to be the most broken, how institutions (including Felicia's own alma mater!) are choosing money over morals, and why this might actually be the reckoning we've been overdue for. Plus: Reggie Watts' optimistic AI theory, the case for dismantling the patriarchy, why capitalism is the connective tissue in all of this, and an honest conversation about aging as women in a world designed to make us hate our wrinkles.
