Is there a connection between Tylenol and autism—and has the medical establishment been too quick to dismiss the evidence? Renowned scientist Dr. William Parker, author of Tylenol and Autism, joins Alex Newman for a deep dive into one of the most consequential and controversial medical debates facing American families. Parker lays out the evidence he believes points toward an association between acetaminophen exposure and autism, explains where he says mainstream medicine has gotten the science wrong, and addresses the enormous question facing parents: If there is a real risk, why aren't families being warned? Meanwhile, a longtime Fauci adviser has PLEADED GUILTY after admitting to a conspiracy to conceal federal COVID records from the American people—and could face years in prison.

A senior French civil servant stands accused of drugging hundreds of women. Police say Christian Nègre kept a spreadsheet documenting what he described as his ‘experiments' in which he forced them to wet themselves. They believe he drugged as many as 248 women. But more than seven years after Nègre was formally charged, no trial date has been set. For Woman's Hour and BBC Global Women, Nuala McGovern spoke to one of the women affected, who says the delays to justice have left her feeling victimised for a second time.Within months of what was to be her last Olympic Games, double Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones decided it was time to take her career in a new direction.

Matt, Jason, and Don sat down with author, speaker, and longtime voice of principled anarchism Larken Rose. Renowned for his groundbreaking works like The Most Dangerous Superstition and The Jones Plantation, Larken has spent decades dismantling the psychological illusion of political authority through plain logic, accessible analogies, and non-confrontational communication. In this episode, the hosts reflect on their recent experiences speaking at Larken's first-ever Approaching Humanity conference in Sedona, Arizona, exploring how bringing diverse voices together—ranging from former Obama supporters to an active, anti-statist Arizona sheriff—helps humanize the philosophy of voluntaryism and reach everyday people outside academic bubbles. The conversation dives deep into the rapid rise of the surveillance state, focusing on the exponential proliferation of Flock Safety license plate reader cameras and the massive, cross-partisan resistance emerging against them. The hosts and Larken examine how leaked corporate playbooks reveal police departments trying to "own the narrative," even as FBI data demonstrates that increased surveillance fails to improve crime clearance rates. Bypassing typical political divides, the group explores how to leverage real-world events—from foreign proxy wars and police overreach to local privacy battles—as entry points for conversation. Rather than treating statists as enemies to defeat, Larken outlines how Socratic questioning and methods like his Candles in the Dark program allow individuals to recognize their own internal contradictions and break free from political conditioning on their own terms. Concluding with an atypical "White Pill" segment, the discussion shifts toward personal mindset frameworks for navigating an increasingly polarized world. Larken emphasizes that the most powerful shift a freedom-minded individual can make is remembering that bad outcomes are almost always the result of good intentions twisted by systemic propaganda. By approaching friends, family, and neighbors with empathy rather than hostility, listeners are equipped to act as "candles in the dark"—asking honest, targeted questions that uncover shared values, strip away the illusion of state authority, and turn everyday interactions into opportunities to liberate minds.

Ep. 239 | Renowned gerontologist and author Dr. Kerry Burnight is passionate about changing the way we think about aging. Growing older isn't a bad thing, she emphasizes, let's look at what gets better as we get older! Early in Dr. Kerry's career, she marveled at how elderly people with the same degree of physical health could be absolutely miserable or happily engaged with life, and she dug into finding out why. Her research revealed four pillars of aging that together make all the difference in the quality of our well-being. Kerry urges us to adopt these practices as soon as we can, because just like with cardiovascular training, the earlier we start, the more benefit we accrue. In fact, the evidence is clear: research shows that people who have a “decline mindset” about aging die an average of seven years earlier than their counterparts with a “growth mindset.” It seems our beliefs about aging can easily become self-fulfilling prophecies.Finding joy in the second half of life involves not only cultivating connection and growth among other things, but also, very importantly, countering our own internalized ageism. Dr. Kerry gives some telling examples of common derogatory thoughts we have about ourselves as we age, and shows us how we can turn this around and step into our power as older people. In a moving testament to the special beauty and authenticity of the elderly, Kerry expresses gratitude for her opportunities as a gerontologist to be infused with the presence of her patients, in all their humility and greater appreciation of friendships, nature, music, art—of life itself. A poignant, lovely, illuminating, and inspiring conversation with someone who lives her talk and is making a meaningful difference in a culture that has lost its way in its approach to aging and caring for elders.

Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, millions of people turn to her for a proven approach to navigating the new longevity—one based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life.

In her New York Times best-seller, Dr. Burnight introduces the critical concept of “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, and choice.Dr. Kerry Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she co-founded and directed the nation's first Elder Abuse Forensic Center. She currently teaches at the University of Chicago and has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, CBS Mornings, Oprah Daily, CNN, and BBC News. She is the longevity health advisor at Forbes Health and in the TIME 100 Health.---Podcast produced by Vanessa Santos and Show Notes by Heidi Mitchell

In this conversation he details of some of his investigations past and present, together with some of his own ideas about ghosts and the paranormal after many years.

Alan states, "I am quite convinced certain paranormal phenomena are a reality and are proven beyond reasonable doubt to a standard that would satisfy a court or tribunal at law. Others remain uncertain and yet others look destined to stay a mystery." Renowned world class "ghost hunter" Alan Murdie, on this episode of "Necronomicast!"

Renowned picture book creators, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, want people of all ages to understand and appreciate children's stories and how this art form enriches our individual lives and our culture. Speaking on the process of creating their latest collaboration, a board book series called Now I See, Barnett and Klassen have insights into what makes a great children's book using elements you can find both on and off the page. This multi-award winning, New York Times bestselling duo operates differently than a lot of children's book creators. Typically, an author and illustrator don't directly collaborate, and yet these two find success in close conversations with each other. Using their unique perspectives, Barnett and Klassen also write a newsletter for adults, Looking at Picture Books, which examines the picture book as a respected art form. Their Now I See board book collection applies that lens by celebrating the spare beauty and wonder of the changing seasons from the point of view of a child. A tree that has full green leaves in Now I See Summer sheds them in Now I See Fall. The snowy sky of Now I See Winter gives way to the rainy sky in Now I See Spring. And of course, the perfect hat changes with each season, too. Barnett and Klassen want to uplift the picture book as an art form, showing everyone of every age what goes into the making of great children's literature. They'll discuss the importance and value of picture books — and how they work. Kids are, of course, welcome, but the primary audience for these events is adults keen to learn more about picture books. Mac Barnett, the 2025-2026 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, is a New York Times-bestselling author of stories for children. His work has been translated into more than 30 languages and has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Some of his books include The First Cat in Space graphic novel series, illustrated by Shawn Harris, Twenty Questions, illustrated by Christian Robinson, and Santa's First Christmas, illustrated by Sydney Smith. Jon Klassen is the New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator of numerous books, who was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2018 for his contributions to children's literature. His recent books include the Your Places board book series and The Skull, a #1 New York Times bestseller that earned six starred reviews and a piece in the New York Times Book Review in which Ransom Riggs refers to Jon as both "the dean of deadpan" and a "national treasure." Jon Mooallem is the author of three books, Wild Ones, This is Chance! and the essay collection Serious Face. He lives on Bainbridge Island.

Oliver Ackermann is an American musician, producer, and inventor best known as the founder and frontman of the experimental rock band A Place To Bury Strangers and the creator of the boutique effects company Death By Audio. Renowned for pushing the limits of sound and volume, Ackermann has built a reputation as one of the most innovative figures in modern noise rock and shoegaze. Born in the Allentown Pennsylvania, Ackermann began experimenting with electronics and music at a young age, developing a fascination with distortion, feedback, and the raw physicality of sound. That obsession eventually led him to form A Place To Bury Strangers in New York City in the early 2000s. The band quickly became known for their explosive live shows, immersive walls of sound, and a dark blend of post-punk, noise rock, and shoegaze. Their recordings and performances earned them a cult following worldwide, and the band has toured extensively across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Parallel to his work as a musician, Ackermann founded Death By Audio in 2002, a company dedicated to building handmade guitar effects pedals designed for extreme sonic experimentation. The brand's creations, known for their aggressive distortion, unconventional circuits, and bold aesthetics have become staples among musicians seeking unique textures and unpredictable tones. Death By Audio has grown into one of the most respected independent pedal manufacturers in the world, while still maintaining its DIY ethos and artist-driven approach. Ackermann's creative output extends beyond traditional songwriting and gear design. He has produced records, collaborated with artists across underground and experimental scenes, and continually explores new ways to merge sound, electronics, and performance. His work often blurs the line between instrument and machine, emphasizing the beauty of imperfection, malfunction, and overwhelming noise. Whether onstage engulfed in feedback or at a workbench soldering new circuits, Oliver Ackermann remains dedicated to expanding the possibilities of sound. Through his music, inventions, and relentless touring, he continues to shape the landscape of experimental rock and inspire a new generation of artists to embrace chaos, creativity, and volume.

What can you do to answer the calling that is tugging on your heart? In this episode, Jeff and Stephen discuss: Restarting from zero with faith and motivation. Nerding out on the word of God and honoring Him in all things. The founding and growth of Truly Free and Truly Free Home. Anti-slavery mission work and broader vision for conscious, freedom-centered business. The evolution of social commerce and attention capital. Key Takeaways: A painful upbringing and chaotic family life can become fuel for protecting others and building something great. It does not have to hinder you, but can rather spark your fire. Life will have crises. Those personal crises can spark mission-driven businesses or operations to solve real, everyday problems. Faith does not need to be a distant tradition. Make it the center of your life - it can shape leadership and guide business decisions and long-term vision. There are more women and children enslaved today than at any other point in history. Who is standing in the gap to find these women and children in bondage? Consumers are changing their buying behaviors - startups and entrepreneurs are answering the call that big companies are not. "The world needs more conscious entrepreneurs now than any other time in human history, and if you have a calling on your life to do good through commerce, the time is now, and don't let the grass grow under your feet." — Stephen Ezell About Stephen Ezell: Stephen Ezell is the founder and CEO of Truly Free Home and Truly Free.

As humans we have spent a majority of our lives outdoors until very recently, when in a short time, we spend almost all of our time indoors and even in our short exposures to the outdoors we are not opening ourselves to the true benefits of nature. I don't believe in hacks and shortcuts and secrets to health, and this episode contains none of that. It points to data and I think you'll agree, common sense. We are spending ever more amounts of time and money on therapies and strategies and looking for the next magic cure, and as a board certified medical doctor, John has put his focus on being outdoors and getting his hands dirty. I find his insight more than compelling, but convicting. And his focus is on what anyone can do, anywhere, to get the free and deep benefits from being outside and nature, even if it's merely gazing at the sky for 10 minutes. John La Puma you may know from ChefMD™ and is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His new book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework. This is clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan. One of John's primary advocates and friends is Dan Buettner, famous for his research on the Blue Zones and its inhabitants who make up the happiest and healthiest demographic on the planet.

A newsletter and community for anyone learning the Irish language as an adultSlán tamall,Finghin Mac CárthaighHost – The Language Question ~ Ceist na TeanganMore on Nuala Ní DhomhnaillNuala Ní Dhomhnaill is one of the most celebrated poets writing in the Irish language and a former Ireland Professor of Poetry. Renowned for her lyrical and myth-infused work, she explores themes of identity, folklore, femininity, and cultural memory through the medium of Gaeilge.Born in Lancashire, England, in 1952 to Irish physicians, she was sent at age 5 to live with relatives in the Kerry Gaeltacht. This experience profoundly shaped her linguistic and cultural identity. She later studied English and Irish at University College Cork in 1969, where she became a central figure in the influential Innti school of poets. Ní Dhomhnaill spent seven years living abroad in Holland and Turkey with her husband, Doğan Leflef, before returning to County Kerry in 1980. Her first poetry collection, An Dealg Droighin, was published in 1981.Writing exclusively in Irish, Ní Dhomhnaill uses language as a powerful tool to give voice to the marginalised and to challenge traditional narratives within Irish society. Her work often reimagines mythology and folklore through a feminist lens, presenting women as complex, empowered, and multidimensional figures. Through her poetry, she seeks to transcend the fragmentation of Ireland's colonial past and to affirm the vitality and relevance of Irish cultural identity.Her work has reached global audiences through translations by some of Ireland's most distinguished poets, including Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Medbh McGuckian, Michael Hartnett, and Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin. Ní Dhomhnaill advocates for creative freedom in translation, believing that English versions should capture the energy, beauty, and spirit of the original Irish.Widely acclaimed both nationally and internationally, her poetry continues to play a vital role in the modern revival of Irish-language literature and in shaping contemporary discussions on language, culture, and identity.Learn more:Poetry Foundation This is a public episode.

THE PRIME OF MR. NEVILLE BRODY — “Once you have broken down the rules, literally anything is possible.'” In the business of magazine design, few names resonate as profoundly as Neville Brody. And, to this day, he lives by those words. Renowned for his groundbreaking work and commitment to pushing design boundaries at magazines like The Face, Arena, Per Lui, and others, Brody is a true auteur in the world of design. We talked to him at the launch of his spectacular new monograph, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3. Nurtured on 1970s British punk music, which rejected anything that appeared self-indulgent or overwrought, Brody found the perfect launch pad at The Face, the London-based music, fashion, and culture monthly, created by editor Nick Logan in 1980. The Face inspired an array of fellow magazine rule-breakers, including the late Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Fabien Baron, who calls Brody's work “powerful, aggressive, and simple.” Since then, Brody's journey in graphic design has been marked by a relentless, almost unforgiving pursuit of innovation. His magazine design challenged conventional norms and redefined visual storytelling. Brody's design approach is characterized by a rejection of conventional grid systems and editorial hierarchies, and a willingness to break free from established design rules. And he thinks magazines today are missing a giant opportunity: “That's the beauty of print, that you can't achieve in the same way digitally. Digital is so commoditized. We're not expressing content anymore. We're just delivering it. Neville Brody's legacy in magazine design lies in his fearless approach to challenging the status quo and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. By pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design, he not only influenced the look and feel of magazines but also inspired a generation of designers to embrace innovation, experimentation, and a spirit of creative rebellion. Brody's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the evolution of graphic design and its role in shaping the visual language of contemporary media.

This week on The California Report Magazine: What Skid Row Taught Acclaimed Violinist Vijay Gupta About Music When violinist Vijay Gupta joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic at just 19 years old, he was the youngest to ever take a chair in a major orchestra in the U.S. But despite that shining achievement, he was desperately unhappy.

It explores how, after years of struggling to live up to other people's expectations, he found his true voice working with homeless people on the streets of Skid Row. Reporter Steven Cuevas has this profile. Life Lessons from a Game of Chess Visits with loved ones are a special time for people who are incarcerated in California.

When Chinese Flower Growers Helped the Bay Area Bloom Santa Clara County stretches from San Jose up through Palo Alto and into the surrounding foothills.

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: ABC's Jonathan Karl tells Mayor Zohran Mamdani that the Republicans will make him the face of the Democratic party to which Mamdani responds with, "let them".

AOC to respond to Sen. Elissa Slotkin's call for the need for change in Democratic leadership.

Send us Fan MailIn this special episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Jean Carruthers MD, FRCSC, FRC(Ophth), the pioneer of cosmetic botox, world Renowned cosmetic surgeon & award winning researcher. What began as an unexpected patient interaction ultimately changed the way the world thinks about facial aging, leading to the development of cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments that continue to shape the field today.Dr. Carruthers reflects on the remarkable journey from treating patients with functional eye disorders to recognizing an entirely new application for botulinum toxin. At a time when cosmetic options for expression lines were limited, the idea of selectively relaxing muscles to soften wrinkles represented a completely new approach. Yet the path from observation to acceptance was far from easy. Early presentations were met with skepticism, and it was rigorous research, clinical evidence, and persistence that ultimately transformed a controversial idea into one of the most extensively studied treatments in aesthetic medicine.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Carruthers emphasizes the role of curiosity in scientific discovery. Many breakthroughs, she explains, emerge not from certainty but from paying attention to unexpected outcomes and asking better questions. That mindset continues to guide her perspective on the future of aesthetics, from preventative treatments and regenerative medicine to emerging technologies that may change how outcomes are measured and understood.More than a history lesson, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mindset behind true innovation. Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Jean Carruthers share the story behind the discovery that revolutionized aesthetics, her perspective on the future of regenerative medicine, and why the most important tool in science may be an open mind.Read about Dr. Jean CarruthersDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
In part two, Travis takes us back in time to Western New York State during the beginning of the Jacksonian era. The plans of 50-year-old William Morgan to publish Masonic secrets turned into one of America's first nationwide true-crime media frenzies. After Morgan and printer David C. Miller threatened to expose the inner workings of Freemasonry, local Masons responded with lawsuits, surveillance, sabotage, armed mobs, bogus warrants, arson attempts, kidnapping, and possibly Morgan's murder in the Niagara River. This episode follows the story from Batavia taverns and print shops to the Ontario County jail, the road to Rochester, the failed Canadian handoff, and the grim stone powder magazine at Old Fort Niagara where Morgan was last known to be held. We also dig into the forgotten role of David C. Miller, the “Masonic spy” Daniel Johns, the propaganda war between Masons and Anti-Masons, and how the scandal helped create the first major third party in American politics.

The Hoop Pole Knights Abridged version of a 19th Century Anti-Masonic Song Some poets sing in epic strains, Of warriors and their fates, And some that rise and some that fall, Of kingdoms and of states; But hark ! the while in loftier song, And more sublimely grand, I sing to all the listening world The brave Masonic Band. The world was still, and wonders rare, Save now and then a dream Of railroads, and of side canals, And guns that go by steam; When Morgan swore a mighty oath, In spite of friends or foes, That he, for cash or conscience' sake, Would Masonry disclose And Miller swore to print the tale, And spread it far and near, That all the blind on earth might see, And all the deaf might hear; That from the greatest to the least, By Scripture rule, forsooth, That all should come to knowledge of The hidden light of truth. Then hell broke loose, and all the host Of Masons circled round, To kidnap both, destroy the book, Or burn Batavia down; And fury seized on many a brain, And vengeance seemed to start, In room of Love and Charity, From many a Mason's heart. And then the General Hoop-pole Knight, Renowned for chivalry, Began to feel that feather grow, Called popularity ; And how if he succeeded well By prowess in the fight, That he should be a Senator, As well as leading Knight: "And cried, ' Arise my friends, arise ! With pistols, swords, and dirks, Hoop-poles and knives, and cudgels strong, Prepared for bloody works; Without regard to powers that be, Or laws that men devise, On Miller, seize, and seize the book-- Succeed, or sacrifice.' On foot, on horse, in wagons stored, They marched ten miles or more, To guard their victim of revenge, And triumph in his gore; The while the people rose in strength, With blood at boiling heat, And sent him back to printing books, And made the band retreat. Nay, since the days of Don Quixote, When windmills were his foe, There has not been a scene like this, Unless in shades below; And even Don would laugh, and shake His sides till in distress, Had he but seen the Yankee Knights Attack a Printing Press.
