Podcasts about Renaldo

On March 13th I spoke at a College to Students in the General Studies Department at Jamaica Theological Seminary on The Power and Value of General Studies.I shared my journey, highlighting how interdisciplinary studies have made me into a world citizen.In the beginning we wrapped for 20 minutes then I spoke:The Power of General Studies: Preparing the Mind for a Complex WorldGood morning students, faculty, and friends.Life, if we are honest about it, is really about people—people and how people relate to one another.Yet life is also something else: it is what you make of it… or what you allow others to make of it for you.That realization did not come to me overnight.It came through experience, travel, struggle, and most importantly through the kind of thinking that General Studies encourages.Today I want to share my journey with you, and through that journey show you why General Studies is one of the most valuable foundations you can have for lifeRenaldo McKenzie is author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book:Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations.

Bully, Duplicitous, Hypocritical, Arrogant, Juvenile, dishonest, Racist, Revengeful are the adjectives used to assess Donald Trump's presidency and leadership today, as we brace ourselves for a war; we thought wars were far from his America first agenda. Author of the Upcoming Book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie sits down with his twin brother, Ricardo McKenzie, and explored the failures of Trump's leadership in America and the World today. Renaldo begins with a terse and strident rebuke of the President for his double-steps, incendiary actions towards other leaders and turning his back on America First. Renaldo and Ricardo discusses the US-Israel's war with Iran in the Middle East and even go as far as to describe the Trump's declarations as empty, an attempt to save face as the regime in Iran did not change and the war seems to be dragging out further and creating a world crisis larger than Trump expected. Trump dragged the US into a war that was poorly planned and executed without informing US allies and has even injured American credibility in the world and long standing partnerships but now wants to go to war when we need those partnerships. It is quite foolish and daunting and arrogant to think we can upset the world and now ask them for their support.This is an intense episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast which is a media and information Non-Profit platform aimed at making popular what was the monopoly.The Neoliberal Round is operated by Renaldo McKenzie and The Neoliberal Corporation.Visit us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal or https://youtube.com/ ⁨@RenaldoMckenzie⁩  The Neoliberal is at https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.comThe Neoliberal can be reached at info@theneoliberal.com or calling 445-260-9198.Subscribe for free and follow US!

Renaldo and Ricardo continues with their breaking news commentary about the US and Israel War with Iran on The Neoliberal Round Podcast series: The Pulse, where the twins discuss hot topics of the day. Ricardo explores whether the Epstein saga has implicated Trump's decision to go to war and Renaldo is concerned with American safety with the recent news about sleeper cells. The twins questions whether the objective of regime change was achieved now that #iran has a new leader, the son of the former leader.

Corren rumors que el trio de Barcelona vol posar punt final a la seva carrera. Sigui cert o no,

Hablar de hiperpop en 2026 ya no tiene sentido. El sonido que dio origen a la etiqueta pudo parecer vanguardista en su momento, pero hoy es como mirar un Nokia 3310. El hiperpop no es más que el pop del presente, y Underscores es una de sus representantes más fieles. Su propuesta es caótica y digital; por momentos incómoda, siempre yuxtapuesta y retorcida, pero profundamente magnética. Música concebida para resonar en “centros comerciales, aeropuertos, hoteles y supermercados". El tercer LP de April Harper Grey bajo el alias Underscores llevará por título 'U' y se publicará el 20 de marzo.Además, Almudena Amor se asoma a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ!

A deep dive into one of the most overlooked -- and fascinating -- sides of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature winner: Bob Dylan, the filmmaker. While his music and lyrics have been studied endlessly, his work behind (and in front of) the camera remains largely unexplored. No other book has taken this angle, and with Dylan's legend still growing, the audience is more than ready for a bold new take. Bob Dylan as Filmmaker: No Time to Think (McNidder and Grace, 2026), the first book of its kind, opens up exciting new ways to think about the artistry of Bob Dylan. It offers a captivating exploration into movies that, according to Michael, showcase Bob Dylan not just as a subject, but as the primary author. These include Eat the Document--a short, experimental television film shot in 1966 and released in 1972; the sprawling, genre-blurring epic Renaldo and Clara (1978), both directed by Dylan himself; and the darkly surreal Masked and Anonymous (2003), directed by Larry Charles but co-written by and starring Dylan. Bob Dylan as Filmmaker explores what these movies reveal about "how it feels" to be Bob Dylan during three defining eras of his career: the revolutionary 1960s, the introspective 1970s, and the enigmatic early 2000s. Just as crucially, they illuminate Dylan's remarkable instinct for using film not merely as a medium, but as a deeply personal mode of expression. The book also provides an essential survey of Dylan's most recent movie projects, including those by other directors, in which Dylan's influence is less overt but no less powerful. Here, Michael argues that Dylan operates as a kind of "invisible co-author" in Martin Scorsese's Rolling Thunder Revue (2019), where Dylan appears as a slippery, self-mythologizing interviewee; Alma Har'el's haunting Shadow Kingdom (2021), a stylized livestream performance; and James Mangold's A Complete Unknown (2024), the Timothée Chalamet-led biopic shaped in part by Dylan's behind-the-scenes "script approval." Michael Glover Smith is a Chicago-based filmmaker, author and teacher. Michael's most recent movie, Hekla, starring Elizabeth Stam, will have it's festival premiere in early 2026. Michael is also the director of four award-winning feature films, the most recent of which, Relative, stars Wendy Robie (Twin Peaks) and is distributed by Music Box Films. His previous book, Flickering Empire: How Chicago Invented the U.S. Film Industry (co-written with Adam Selzer), was published by Columbia University Press to acclaim in 2015. He has seen Bob Dylan 100 times in concert. Michael on Twitter and Bluesky. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America (Backbeat Books, 2021), Frank Zappa's America (LSU Press, 2025), and U2: Until the End of the World (Gemini Books, 2025).

Question: How do you get rid of Obamacare or The Affordable Care Act while saving face? During Trump's reign between 2016 and 2020 he and the GOP tried to jettison Obamacare but were unable to do so. But with so many depending on Obamacare including Trump and the GOP supporters, getting rid of Obamacare is not so easy legislatively as this would make them unpopular. So they are now using strategy and tactics to kill Obamacare. By not including government subsidies they have driven up the cost of Obamacare and therefore many people are dropping their health plans acquired through Obamacare. So then if you cannot afford the plan why require people to have health insurance? That's the idea here. The GOP dies not need to have a vote to end Obamacare they just need to find a way to drive up the cost so that the law becomes irrelevant and unpopular so that it becomes easy to get rid of the requirement and therefore the act. This was a genius plan that may work, however, the middle class will pick up the slack and this may backfire.Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Corporation and The Neoliberal discuss on this series of On A Quick Note on The Neoliberal Round.Subscribe on any stream.

We are calling February African History Month in America instead of Black History Month, because African Americans are not Black they are of African Heritage or Africans. We prefer African History instead of Black History because the term black is part of philosophy that drives a particular perspective about people of Africa. They say "nothing black is good; African Americans are Black; Therefore African Americans are Black and therefore not good" So to drive a different perspective and to inculcate the pride of African American we do not do injustice to the people of Africa who live in America and say African People in America.In today's Episode we reflect on this and our history that is largely bastardized and forgotten.

Question: What separates your type of music from others such as Meek Mills and Lil Uzi? My music is soulful.... Soloe sits down with Renaldo of The Neoliberal Round Podcast for What's Your Story part 24 which is season 15 episode 10 of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Soloe was quite candid and passionate, and very revealing as he shares his passions, his ups and his down and some sad stories but also some positive moments in his journey to becoming an impactful musician and artist. In this episode we begin with Soloe sharing his track and then Renaldo the creator and host revealing that he does a podcast and is recording him. Soloe welcomed being recorded and Renaldo continued with the greeting and record. The two were in a vehicle together as Renaldo record and you may hear street sounds during the recording. Soloe shared how he has gotten a bad rap and made some bad decisions from previous connections in the music industry as a R&B Hip-Hop artist trying to navigate the industry. He shared hos he manager was overcharging him and caused him to miss out on opportunities where he could have been signed by Epic studios. He discloses how he paid the manager of a popular rapper so as to include him on a track but the Manager stole the money and did not follow through on getting his artist to collaborate with him and when he met up with the artist, he was turned down and believed the artist was never told about how he had to pay at least $2000. However, Soloe continues to write music and is looking to get back into his music "bag" as he had taken an hiatus given the bad experiences and is currently working on expanding his talents on other music platforms and getting his name out more. Soloe is originally from Philadelphia and currently lives in the suburbs of the city and has had his music played on the radio 103.9 and performed at Onyx.Renaldo spoke with Soloe for over 40 minutes, and Soloe also shared three of his projects.

Cette semaine, j'ai un invité très spécial et assez unique. Il s'appelle Yannick et il est artisan fromager. Pour la petite histoire, mon amoureux, Renaldo, habitait avant dans le 15e arrondissement et il allait très souvent dans une boutique pour acheter son fromage. Comme tout Français qui se respecte, il aime le très bon fromage et il ne va qu'à une seule adresse, c'est chez Thomas Artisan, au 66 rue du commerce où Yannick travaille. En y allant régulièrement, je voyais bien que Yannick était passionné et surtout passionnant. Donc je lui ai dit “Écoute j'ai un podcast sur la langue française et la culture française, est-ce que tu accepterais de venir me parler de ton métier dans mon podcast ? » Et il a directement accepté. J'ai plein de points en commun avec Yannick, notamment le fait de ne pas rentrer dans le moule de l'école. En France, en Belgique et dans beaucoup de pays, encore aujourd'hui malheureusement, si tu ne termines pas l'école comme tout le monde, tu culpabilises car la société te fait croire que c'est le seul moyen de réussir professionnellement parlant. Pour Yannick, l'école s'est trompée à son sujet. Tu n'entendras pas quelqu'un d'aussi passionné et passionnant que lui à propos de son métier. Yannick partagera avec nous son parcours professionnel mais aussi quelques secrets sur le fromage et définitions de base. Et j'ai aussi une annonce à faire pour les membres du Club. Yannick va utiliser quelques termes techniques, ou quelques abréviations et acronymes, et quelques noms de fromages que tu ne connais peut-être pas et à l'oral ce sera peut-être difficile de les deviner. Sur la transcription, disponible uniquement pour les membres du Club, j'ai ajouté un mini guide avec des photos et les fromages les plus connus de France. Bonne écoute et excellente dégustation !“Le Français avec Yasmine” existe grâce au soutien des membres et élèves payants. 1️⃣ Le Club de Yasmine Le Club privé du podcast qui donne accès à toutes les transcriptions des épisodes, aux épisodes secrets, la newsletter privée en français et l'accès à la communauté des élèves et membres sur Discord. https://lefrancaisavecyasmine.com/club 2️⃣ Les livres du podcast Les transcriptions du podcast sont disponibles dans les livres sur Amazon : http://amazon.com/author/yasminelesire 3️⃣ Les cours de français avec YasmineRendez-vous sur le site de mon école pour découvrir le catalogue des cours disponibles : www.ilearnfrench.eu ➡️ Les réseaux sociaux Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ilearnfrench/LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmine-lesire-ilearnfrench/ ➡️ Crédit musique La musique de cet épisode est créée par le groupe Beam. Merci à Maayan Smith et son groupe pour la musique. Hébergé par Ausha.

A soccer player had a penalty kick. I think his name was Renaldo. The opposing team formed a human line between the ball and the goal so that if you hit the ball toward the net, it would bounce off the wall. The striker hit the ball with the side of his foot, and it curved like... The post Gospel-Homily for The Epiphany (2026) appeared first on St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine.

I share a deeply personal story of how I am overcoming the struggles of life. It is part of my Philosophy of Life, or maybe a theological perspective. I share my struggles with the death dying and beyond and hinted at how God has brought me full circle with the passing of my parents. It is not an interview but a monologue where I present a reflection on my life and looking ahead to the future.I hope this may inspire someone as you live you life and follow your path.Much more is left untold and I have skipped a lot of details but in the passing of time more will be revealed.

Empire, Stability, and the Smokescreen of MoralityBy Renaldo C. McKenzieLet us be honest—brutally honest, the way history demands and empire resents.What is unfolding in Venezuela, and across the wider Caribbean basin, has little to do with democracy, human rights, or some sudden moral awakening in Washington. It has everything to do with power—raw, unapologetic, strategic power—and the anxiety that sets in when that power feels challenged.The United States does not intervene because a government is despotic. If that were the case, half the world's strongmen would be facing sanctions before breakfast. The United States intervenes when dominance is threatened—when a small country dares to rearrange its economic loyalties, when it flirts with alternatives, when it whispers to Beijing or Moscow instead of kneeling to Washington.This is not conjecture. This is pattern. Take Venezuela. The hostility toward the Maduro government is not rooted in humanitarian outrage. It is rooted in the fact that Venezuela has chosen to deepen relations with China and Russia—to do business outside the American orbit. That is the unforgivable sin. Everything else—drugs, dictatorship, democracy—is stage dressing.The same script plays across the Caribbean. Jamaica, like many of its neighbors, has welcomed Chinese investment: ports modernized, infrastructure built, capital flowing where Western lenders once stalled. Suddenly, “stability” becomes a concern. Suddenly, sovereignty is suspect. Funny how that works.This is not about policing the world's conscience. It is about preserving a hierarchy. History offers receipts. In Guyana, the United States once supported a government that was neither democratic nor just—one that violently suppressed dissent and oversaw the assassination of revolutionary scholar Walter Rodney. That regime, led by Forbes Burnham, was later found culpable by a commission of inquiry. Yet at the time, it enjoyed American backing. Why? Because it played ball. It served U.S. interests. Morality, apparently, is negotiable.Contrast that with today. Guyana now hosts massive U.S. oil interests, where American corporations extract vast wealth while the Guyanese people receive a fraction. That arrangement is deemed acceptable—commendable, even. But let Guyana decide tomorrow to nationalize its resources, to partner elsewhere, or to rely on itself, and watch how quickly the tone changes. Hypothetical? Hardly. We have seen this movie before.Consider Cuba—decades under embargo, not because it threatens the world, but because it refuses submission. Consider Ukraine, punished by war for seeking stability outside one imperial sphere and into another. When small nations move independently, the ground shakes.The language of “communism” is the oldest smokescreen in the book. It is wheeled out whenever convenient, retired when inconvenient. The real crime is not ideology—it is disobedience.This is the central argument of my forthcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations. Nations do not collapse simply because of internal failure; they are often pushed—cornered by systems designed to ensure that wealth flows upward and outward, never inward, never locally, never freely.And here lies the uncomfortable truth: empire does not require virtue. It requires compliance.Yes, America wants to remain competitive. That desire is not irrational. But competitiveness built on coercion, embargoes, and destabilization is not leadership—it is fear masquerading as strength. And fear, history tells us, is a dangerous policy advisor.The Caribbean must tread carefully. Sovereignty is costly. Independence comes with consequences. But the alternative—permanent subordination dressed up as partnership—is far more expensive in the long run.Renaldo is the Author of Neoliberalism, 2021) and Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations", contributions by Martin Oppenheimer

Renaldo McKenzie, Author of the Neoliberalism book series, discusses his upcoming book in light of what is happening in the world today. Renaldo raises the issue of unfair competition a theme in his books and also classism and racism and zero in on the reason why Trump's America first is a facade - America first like racism is a strategic distraction to elitism. Renaldo asserts that Trump is willing to give billions of dollars to Argentina but is unwilling to extend the ACA healthcare premiums for millions of Working Class Americans whose insurance is set to go up. Renaldo highlights the issue of unfair competition in the world where post-industrial countries unfairly profit from Global South and vulnerable countries in the Global South while advancing draconian immigration policies on these countries while charging tariffs in addition to the huge gains they get from unfair tactics with these countries.Renaldo briefly notes these as points he will consider in his book that his coming up - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, part 2 in the Neoliberalism book series.Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered is co-authored by Professor Emeritus Martin Oppenheimer.Renaldo McKenzie is also the author of "Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance"Renaldo is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania and a Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary where he teaches Caribbean Thought in the Summer.

The American Media continues to mislead us about the truth about everything. Example, is it true that Hurricane Melissa devastated the island of Jamaica? NO. Yet they report that. Is it true that Somalia is a dirty country? No... Yet the President reports that and the public believes it because that is what the American media shows about the other... which continues to create false narratives about people and places. What if we were to say that Hurricane devatated the US? Would that be true? No for it only affected the people in New Orleans. They seem to be mixing up the whole with the part and the mathematical idea of subsets.Renaldo discussed this on this Podcast brief.Renaldo is the author of Neoliberalism, available at https://store.theneoliberal.com and worldwide on Amazon, Ingramspark and Barnes and Noble etc. Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com

Recently Trump declares that Immigrants from Black and Brown countries are not welcomed only those white people from Europe such as Norway. Yet European leaders are saying that Trump has not been an ally of Europe siding with dictators like Putin from Russia and disrupting the relationship between the European Union and USA.Renaldo discusses this as he shares some poignant points from his book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance which was part of a thesis at the University of Pennsylvania which he completed in 2013 and pusblished the book in 2021.

Renaldo moves on to the Bud Light Easy Takes of the Week and the EWL Sportsbook hour for our picks and analysis of Week 13 of the NFL. * originally aired November 29 on Guardian Radio 96.9*

Question: Is there an attempt by Mainstream Media through movies and ads to ILLEGITIMIZE Podcasts?Recently, Netflix released a limited series called The Beast in Me. The series seems to use sly tactics to sow doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of podcasters. Renaldo discusses this in his soliloquy raising the alarm about mainstream media's attempts to re-centralize and re-monopolize its hold over communication and information. Renaldo plays an excerpt of the series and presents his arguments.What do you think; do you agree with Renaldo's assessment and opinion here about the attack on podcasters by mainstream?
