New evidence seems to say so! (The Mysterious Three-Fingered Mummies of Peru – Alien or Hoax?) *** In the early morning hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead inside her Los Angeles home of an apparent drug overdose — but suspicions of foul play have persisted ever since. (The Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe) *** Within the span of about 80 years two terrifying beasts emerged to haunt the imaginations of two European communities. From the werewolf of Ansbach to the mysterious Beast of Gévaudan, these creatures blurred the line between reality and legend, leaving a trail of death bodies, and people who even hundreds of years later in these areas are still frightened to go out after dark. (Two European Werewolves) *** The Hellfire Club, a secret society from the 1700s, provided a space for high-standing individuals to indulge in intellectual pursuits and social activities without judgment… but it also became infamous for its rumored hedonistic behaviors and dark rituals, though its true purpose and activities remain shrouded in mystery even today – making the rumors about it all the more tantalizing. (The Secret World of the Hellfire Club) *** In 2003, Christine Paolilla shocked her Texas community by going from a bullied high school student to a convicted killer. It's a tragic story of friendship, love, drugs, violence, and murder. (From Miss Irresistible to Mrs Murderer) *** Oakville, Washington, a small town with fewer than 1,000 residents, experienced an unusual event in the summer of 1994. On August 7th, clear gelatinous blobs fell from the sky, soon followed by a mysterious illness affecting the townspeople. Despite various theories, from jellyfish particles to star jelly, the true nature of the Oakville Blobs remains a mystery, leaving the town and the rest of the world without clear answers.

In this episode of Shelf Addiction, hosts Tamara and Casey dive into 'The Secret World of Maggie Gray,' an urban fantasy set in an HBCU. They discuss the book's themes, character representations, and critiques of stereotypes, while also analyzing the plot structure and character dynamics. The conversation highlights the lack of depth in character development and the overall execution of the story, leading to a mixed review of the book. In this conversation, Casey and Tamara delve into the complexities of youth recklessness, family dynamics, and the quest for belonging within a magical realism context. They explore character motivations, the impact of parental relationships, and the challenges faced by young adults navigating their identities and relationships in a fantastical setting. The discussion highlights the frustrations with character development and the narrative's pacing, ultimately reflecting on the journey of the characters and their growth.Ep 530Find all the important links in one spot! | https://linktr.ee/shelfaddictionConnect with Tamara:Twitter | https://twitter.com/ShelfAddictionInstagram| https://www.instagram.com/shelfaddiction/TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@shelfaddictionConnect with Casey:Twitter | https://twitter.com/DustMiteBunnyInstagram| https://www.instagram.com/Casey_heartfullofinkTikTok| https://www.tiktok.com/@heartfullofinkCheck out our sponsors and deals! - Book Review Journal | https://bit.ly/ReadersBookReviewJournal- Book Review Notebook | https://amzn.to/3OkjjSa- Reading Challenge Tracker | https://bit.ly/ReadingChallengeTracker- Read free on Everand for 60 days (formerly Scribd) | https://www.scribd.com/gae/4vrg66 - Try audiobooks!

In this episode, I speak with Professor Guy Leschziner, a consultant neurologist and author of three bestselling books, including: “The Man Who Tasted Words”, “The Secret World of Sleep”, and “The Seven Deadly Sins”, which this interview focuses on. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, and clinical neurology, Guy makes a compelling case that what we label as “sin” may often have a biological cause, and isn't necessarily a moral failing. Expect to learn: — Why our so-called “sins” evolved as adaptive traits—and why they still serve a purpose — How free will may be more of a spectrum than a binary — Why understanding the biology of behaviour could radically change the criminal justice system — The disturbing story of Robert Alton Harris—and what it reveals about judgment, compassion, and accountability And more. You can learn more about Guy's work at https://www.guyleschziner.com. --- Dr Guy Leschziner is a neurologist with special expertise in sleep disorders and epilepsy. Dr Leschziner is Consultant Neurologist at London Bridge Hospital and Clinical Lead for the Sleep Disorders Centre at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, London, one of the largest sleep units in Europe. He also practices at London Bridge Hospital and the Cromwell Hospital. He is also Reader in Neurology at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London. Under the broad umbrella of sleep disorders, Dr Leschziner is a particular authority on narcolepsy, sleepwalking, Kleine-Levin syndrome and restless legs syndrome. Dr Leschziner is also enthusiastically engaged with public education through a wide range of media work. He presented a popular radio series for the BBC, Mysteries of Sleep, as well as The Secrets of Sleep for Channel 4 television in the UK. He has also been an expert commentator for BBC News and The Guardian. Dr Leschziner is also the author of several books: The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience and the Secret World of Sleep, The Man Who Tasted Words, and The Seven Deadly Sins. --- Interview Links: — Dr. Leschziner's website - https://www.guyleschziner.com — Dr. Leschziner's books: https://amzn.to/4dbnFru

EPISODE 136 | Incel-ation Some say there's a crisis of masculinity, or maybe it's just that there's still a lot of misogyny in our culture. Whatever the causes, one thing is clear – there are some young men out there who have difficulty interacting with women while also buying into the narrative that sex and female attention is somehow their right. And every once in a while, one of these guys goes postal, and violence is the result. This is the sad and sometimes scary world of incels. Like what we do?

My dear chaste slaves, sissies and subs,The Crown and Cage Society emerges from the shadows as an exclusive community dedicated to male chastity under My guidance as High Priestess. This podcast reveals my vision for uniting chaste men in a structured environment that transcends conventional kink dynamics while maintaining privacy and ethical standards.For those drawn to the transformative potential of chastity, joining begins simply by connecting with the FetLife group "Chastity Queen's Crown and Cage Society" (#316472). The journey includes monthly gatherings—starting online before transitioning to in-person events in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Toronto area—where members will participate in rituals, connect with like-minded individuals, and deepen their understanding of submission through chastity. Long distance slaves will be able to partake online during these meets.What makes this society revolutionary is its recognition that chastity serves different purposes for different practitioners. Whether you seek security, denial, servitude, feminization, or a path to enable other fetishes, the community embraces these diverse motivations while uniting through shared experience. More profoundly, chastity facilitates sexual transmutation—redirecting energy from temporary gratification toward improving relationships, career focus, health, and mental clarity. This transformative potential echoes through my seemingly contradictory motto: "Chastity is freedom."I understand the sensitive nature of these practices and have built the society on a foundation of consent and ethical conduct. Members can participate with varying levels of public association, and those in relationships must secure permission from their partners and/or Domme/Master/Mistress, before joining. With experience requirements (roughly one month of accumulated chastity or directly locked for 30 days in chastity) and a thoughtful application process, the society creates a space where trusted individuals can explore submission safely and meaningfully.

Prepare to be blown away by the secret world Gemma's been in love with for years. Celestial Guide Katy Sloane joins us to discuss Angels, The After Life and the power of Crystals.

W samym sercu Unii Europejskiej wybuchła ogromna afera korupcyjna. W jej centrum jest 15 europosłów oraz chiński Huawei, który ponoć miał wręczać łapówki i różne korzyści majątkowe europejskim urzędnikom - w zamian za popieranie korzystnych dla niego zmian w prawie. Takiej afery Bruksela nie widziała przynajmniej od czasów niesławnej QatarGate. O co poszło? Oczywiście o technologię 5G, w której Huawei wciąż ma najwięcej patentów, jego rozwiązania są bardzo nowoczesne i przystępne cenowo. Ale ze względu na chiński rodowód firmy, operatorzy coraz rzadziej sięgają po jego produkty. W tle całego zamieszania są też oczywiście Chiny, które ze względów ideologicznych i po prostu gospodarczych za wszelką cenę starają się nie pozwolić na "krzywdzenie" swojego czempiona. Dlatego w tym odcinku podcastu "Techstorie" opowiadamy o tym, dlaczego chińskie pochodzenie Huawei jest dziś dla niego brzemieniem i co do tego ma chińskie prawo, o tym jak korupcja i działania korupcjopochodne przewijają się w działaniach chińskich firm i w końcu - jak w Parlamencie Europejskim działa tabun lobbystów technologicznych, którzy starają się zza kulis pociągać za sznurki. A dodatkowo - w tej historii pojawia się też "polski łącznik"!

Session 22: Hockey Knight in Canada Part 1 (February 2, 2024) Every year the various agents and groups of hunters living and working in Canada, operating under the Monster Slayers League NORTH, meet for a hockey tournament. It started as a way to maintain their cover as a hockey league, an in-joke brought up during the organization's early years, but has swiftly become a tradition worth covering. This year, the tournament is to be held in Nova Scotia.

How dangerous can a pair of shoes be? Really dangerous, particularly if they have big heels. We begin this episode looking at the long story of high heel terror plus other interesting facts about women's shoes. https://reut.rs/3rXNqoR & https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150521120924.htm Most day-to-day decisions you make based on your own judgment. Things such as what career path to take, who to marry, what to do to make yourself happy and other life-changing decisions you make all on your own. However, for all those and other decisions there is solid data that can help. Here to explain this is economist, and former Google data scientist, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, author of the book Don't Trust Your Gut: Using Data to Get What You Really Want in Life (https://amzn.to/3kiHySZ). What's the difference between rain and a rain shower? What causes dew and frost? Can clouds predict the weather if you know how to read them? These are some of the questions I explore with Tristan Gooley author of The Secret World of Weather (https://amzn.to/3MFQBcv). This discussion will change the way you look at the weather. There are some people who just can't seem to stop working. They work on weekends, holidays and even while on vacation. That might sound like dedication, but it is actually a problem.

If there's anyone who knows the value of a pardon, it's Jeffrey Toobin, the publicly shamed and now rehabilitated CNN legal analyst. In his latest book, The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy, Toobin examines the history and evolution of presidential pardons, focusing particularly on Gerald Ford's controversial pardon of Richard Nixon. Toobin argues that while historical opinion has shifted to favor Ford's decision, he believes the pardon was wrong as it prevented Nixon's accountability for Watergate related crimes. He also criticizes recent pardon controversies, including Trump's pardons of January 6th rioters and Biden's pardon of his son Hunter. Toobin expresses concern that Trump's use of pardons reflects an authoritarian approach to power, favoring political allies over the rule of law.Here are the 5 KEEN ON Takeaways from this conversation with Jeffrey Toobin:* Presidential Pardon Power is Unique: Toobin emphasizes that the pardon power is anomalous in the American system because it has no checks and balances - it comes directly from monarchical powers and allows presidents to act unilaterally without oversight from courts or Congress.* Mercy vs. Power Distinction: Toobin argues there's a meaningful difference between pardons used for mercy (like Obama's clemency for low-level drug offenders) versus pardons used as exercises of power (like Trump's pardons of January 6th rioters or Biden's pardon of his son Hunter).* The Nixon Pardon Legacy: While historical opinion has shifted to view Ford's pardon of Nixon more favorably, Toobin believes it was wrong because it prevented accountability and reinforced the idea that powerful people are above the law.* Evolution of Presidential Immunity: Toobin highlights a dramatic shift in legal thinking from the Nixon era to today. In the 1970s, everyone agreed presidents could be prosecuted after leaving office, whereas the current Supreme Court has ruled presidents cannot be prosecuted for official actions even after their term.* The Increasing Politicization of Pardoning: Toobin observes that pardons have become increasingly partisan and transactional, especially in recent years. He notes that even the legal community is now deeply divided along political lines regarding controversial pardons, with little or no unified "legal establishment" perspective remaining.Jeffrey Toobin, the longtime CNN legal commentator, is the author of ten books, including The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, The Run of His Life: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism, American Heiress, The Oath, Too Close to Call, and A Vast Conspiracy. A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, he lives with his family in New York.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

One of the most secret (and perhaps misunderstood) traditions in Tantra is the Kaula, the path of radical embodiment. "Kaula" which is the adjectival form of the Sanskrit word "kula", means "the body" and as such presents a spiritual approach that divinizes the body, seeing embodiment (along with all the energies thereof like lust and anger and greed) as an opportunity for spiritual progress and not as an obstacle. More esoterically, the "kula", body here refers to the philosophical view that God in Her fullness is "embodied" as this entire Universe. As such, Kaula is a transgressive, radically non-dual, Goddess-oriented Tantrik tradition. Because of this, utmost secrecy is required and so a third connotation of the world "kula" is "family" either biological or spiritual in which these spiritual teachings are offered in strictest confidence. Over the next few weeks, I want to explore the Kaula with you in both theory and practice and work our way up to study the Adi Yajnya or the "Kaula Ritual" which Abhinava Gupta presents in Chapter 29 of his Tantraloka. This talk is a bit of a soft introduction to the origins of the Kaula and how it fits into the wider context of Indian Tantra. This lecture follows closely on the heels of the discussion we had last week on Why is Tantra A Secret? We review some of the ideas from that talk and also make a few new points about the value of secrecy. Also, because this talk was given on the 6th day of Magha Gupta Navaratri, we say a few things about Mātangi Mā, the Tantrik Sarasvatī in order to express our gratitude for Sarasvatī who appears in the form of teacher, teaching and also our desire to learn!|Jai Mā Nīlā Sarasvatī Ki Jai! For more detailed instructions for how to perform Kālī pūjā, watch this playlist: https://www.patreon.com/collection/233799Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMSupport the show

** Chinese Whispers is nominated in the Political Podcast Awards 2025. Vote for it to win the People's Choice category here ** Among the casualties of Donald Trump's trade war with China in his first presidency was the telecoms giant Huawei. Founded by former military engineer Ren Zhengfei, the company is a world-leading manufacturer of everything from telecoms equipment to smartphones. But it fell foul of the Trump administration as it tried to become integral to the world's rollout of 5G, leading to a backlash in the West and even the house arrest of Ren's daughter. At the centre of the row is a suspicion that Huawei is essentially a state-owned company, working at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party. So as Trump prepares to go back to the White House, this episode tries to get to the bottom of the telecoms giant. Is it an arm of the Chinese state? How has it found such world dominating success? Can it survive a second Trump presidency? Cindy Yu speaks to Eva Dou, technology reporter for the Washington Post. Her new book is the House of Huawei: Inside the Secret World of China's Most Powerful Company.

Over the past twelve months, tales of spies and spycraft have complicated India's relationships with key Western partners.In recent months, both Canada and the United States have alleged that India's foreign intelligence agency was involved in a complex plot to identify and target Khalistani separatists who were citizens of those countries.In India, these allegations have, in turn, revealed deep skepticism about the actions of western spy agencies and the negative role they've played in India and across the Global South.A new book, Spying in South Asia: Britain, the United States, and India's Secret Cold War, offers the first comprehensive history of US and UK intelligence operations in the Indian subcontinent. The author of this book is Paul McGarr, a lecturer in Intelligence Studies at King's College London.To talk more about his new book—and the West's 50-year battle to win the hearts and minds of Indians—Paul joins Milan on the show this week.The two discuss India's tradition of spycraft, the long shadow of the British Raj, and secret collaboration between the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and its Indian counterparts. Plus, the two discuss why the covert efforts of British and American intelligence agencies in 20th century India largely proved to be misguided and self-defeating.Episode notes:1.

Miyazaki Club returns to discuss 2010’s “The Secret World of Arrietty,” a Studio Ghibli production with a screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki based on a series of children’s books. Why are we so unnerved by the linear storyline and lack of weirdness? Why does Jason have Bay Leaf head canon? And why is surface tension the true star of the show?

Lies that immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio have inspired dozens of threats against the town, and toward Haitian-Americans across the nation. On this week's On the Media, hear how public acceptance of political violence has grown. Plus, how January 6 became a recruiting tool for one of the country's largest militias.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Macollvie Neel, special projects editor at The Haitian Times, to talk about the recent wave of rhetoric and threats aimed at the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, and why Neel and other reporters saw it coming. [13:29] Host Brooke Gladstone interviews Lilliana Mason, Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University, about the growing acceptance of political violence in America, and the reasons behind it. [27:14]  Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Matthew Dallek, a historian and professor of political management at George Washington University, to look at the history of political violence and presidential assassinations. [37:32] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Joshua Kaplan, reporter at ProPublica, about how one powerful, but largely unseen militia avoided scrutiny after January 6th. And why a day that led many members to quit, turned into a call to arms. Further reading:“Haitians in Springfield: A tale of Black immigration in ‘Anytown USA,'” by Macollvie J.

As Donald Trump's sentencing date approaches, he and his lawyers are throwing all the spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down the former president's request to adjourn his sentencing until after the election, and the Manhattan DA's response. Then, ProPublica reporter Joshua Kaplan joins for a deep dive into his reporting on unlawful American militia groups. Andrew and Mary talk with him about the threat these paramilitary groups pose, how they've used Trump's denial of the election results for recruitment and spreading their ideology, as well as the dangers of collaboration with law enforcement.     Here is Josh Kaplan's ProPublica investigation: Armed and Underground: Inside the Turbulent, Secret World of an American Militia. (Included is a response from Meta about the use of Facebook as a recruitment tool.) Also a note: We're expecting a joint filing in the DC case next Tuesday, so we'll release our episode on Wednesday so Mary and Andrew can detail what's in that filing. 

This week, author and data journalist Nate Silver joins Felix Salmon, Emily Peck, and Elizabeth Spires to discuss his new book On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, a deep dive into the risk-taking class that shapes modern society.

In the Plus segment: Nate gives his election forecast and the hosts debate how the media handled Joe Biden's age concerns. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
