American intellectuals always seem to believe they are living through the end times. From the fascist poet Ezra Pound in the 1930s to the historian of fascism Timothy Snyder today, they flee America in despair. In Seekers and Partisans,, Boston University historian David Mayers tells the story of these exiled thinkers between 1935 and 1941 — what he calls “the crisis years.” But crisis… what crisis? Compared to Germany, Russia, or even Western Europe, America's troubles were relatively modest. So is history repeating itself nearly a century later? Are today's “Trumpagies” — intellectuals disillusioned with Trump's America — the second coming of Ezra Pound and his fellow seekers and partisans of the interwar years?1. History doesn't repeat — but it rhymes.Mayers argues that the wave of “Trumpagies” today — intellectuals leaving America out of despair — echoes but doesn't duplicate the 1930s exodus. Americans have long fled home in search of moral or political clarity abroad, though their motives shift with each crisis.2. The 1930s “crisis years” were more imagined than real.While Mayers' book Seekers and Partisans frames 1935–1941 as “the crisis years,” he notes that America's troubles then were mild compared to the totalitarian catastrophes of Europe. The panic, he suggests, often existed more in the minds of intellectuals than in the republic itself.3. Idealism and delusion often go hand in hand.Figures like Ezra Pound, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Anna Louise Strong reveal how moral passion can curdle into political blindness — from fascist sympathies to uncritical faith in communism or empire. Smart people, Mayers observes, can “get things dreadfully wrong.”4. The duty isn't to flee — it's to stay.Asked what lessons apply to Trump-era exiles, Mayers insists the responsible act is not flight but persistence: to “stay here and salvage the situation.” The illusion, he says, is that “things are all that brilliant elsewhere.”5. The American Dream includes its disillusionments.From the 1930s “seekers and partisans” to today's disenchanted academics, the impulse to escape America reveals as much about its promise as its failures. The intellectual's panic, Mayers suggests, is part of America's enduring struggle to understand itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Where do you seek approval of others? Whom do you fear disappointing? In these verses, John seeks to make sense of the fact that many who witnessed Jesus' life refused to believe they were looking for glory in the wrong place. In looking at their faulty belief, we can begin to understand the unbelief in our own hearts as well.

Tonight's guest Matthew Tucker of Haunted seekers Unlimited. Will be sharing his experience and the Haunted seekers purpose for Halloween haunted houses all over the country.
Novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner returns to discuss his exceptionally timely new novel Amputation—a strange, exuberant, and ultra meta work set against a topic I've talked about a lot this year, the January LA wildfires. Bruce, an L.A. native and prominent literary figure in the city, explains how the book came together in less than two months, why he resists “political novels” even when writing inside a political moment, and how language (not legacy) keeps him making art. We also talk about real-life figures who appear as characters (Stephen Colbert, Mayor Karen Bass, Debra Winger, and a Timothée Chalamet student double, among others), the surrealism of driving through miles of leveled neighborhoods, and the deranged comic-tragic chorus of the Nextdoor app. Bruce also reflects on being an L.A. “outsider who outsided his way inside,” why the book is opera, not noir, and what it means to keep walking the “narrow, burning road to the palace.” Guest Bio: Bruce Wagner is the author of fifteen novels, including the “cell phone” trilogy, The Marvel Universe, The Met Gala and Tales of Saints and Seekers, Roar: American Master, and now Amputation. A longtime Hollywood insider/outsider, he has written for film and television and is currently published by Arcade.
Send us a textWhen the veil thins, the body becomes the first altar. In this candid, unfiltered conversation, somatic coach, witch, and trauma-informed Domme Melissa Gutierrez joins Leandra and Elyse to demystify somatics and show how movement reshapes mind, emotions, and (yes) magick. We explore the twin currents of sex magick and death work—how they naturally braid together in healing, grief, and rebirth—and why ethical containers, consent, and nervous-system literacy matter for real transformation.Melissa shares her cultural roots, what “sensation integration” looks like in practice, and how to work with triggers as teachers. We talk science-meets-mysticism, reclaiming the hips and voice from shame, adult agency in the body, and why community mirrors are essential for growth. If you've ever wondered how to actually feel energy, hold a vision through arousal, or approach spirit and ancestors without fear, this episode is your map.
We often imagine ancestors as people who lived long before us.But what if you are the ancestor of your own future self?The truth is, you are—even across the next hour.Every action you take today— Every word you speak, Every love you nurture,Every moment you either honor or betray your own integrity—Plants the seeds of who you will be tomorrow.Imagine waking up one year from now and meeting the version of yourself you created through today's choices.That's ancestry.What if that same principle stretches beyond this one life?After all, we are eternal spirits!Like many wisdom keepers and scriptures proclaim, * your soul and life are not a static, * or a one-time event.It is an evolving, unique current of consciousness, carrying forward both your unfinished wounds and your untapped potential—across time, lifetimes, and experiences you may not even remember… yet.If that's true—if the choices you make now ripple into generations of your future self—then how you show up today matters more than you realize.

America saw a significant reverse-migration in the 1800s and 1900s, with 20–50% of Italian immigrants returning to Italy as ritornati and tens of thousands of Americans, including ideologues and workers, moving to Germany, Italy, and the USSR in the 1930s seeking political or economic opportunities. Some of these American expatriates were drawn to revolutionary movements in Europe and Asia, blending idealism with political activism Today’s guest is David Mayers, author of Seekers and Partisans: Americans Abroad in the Crisis Years, 1935–1941. We discuss alienated Americans who went abroad during the interwar years in search of a new home and/or to further deeply personal causes. They include John Robinson, a black aviator who in 1935 led the Ethiopian air force against the Italian invasion; Agnes Smedley, who joined the Chinese communists during the Sino-Japanese war; Helen Keller, an advocate of the seeing- and hearing-impaired; Ezra Pound, a lauded poet who championed Mussolini; and Anna Louise Strong, drawn to Stalin's USSR.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#WDRadio Week of Sept 21, 2025: When desperate believers sold everything they owned to follow self-proclaimed prophets promising salvation, they discovered a horrifying truth: the line between divine vision and madness was written in poison, prison bars, and the hangman's noose. From miracle eggs inscribed with holy messages to a 65-year-old virgin claiming to carry the Messiah, this is the disturbing pattern of religious mania that swept through the 19th century, leaving thousands betrayed and broken in its wake.==========HOUR ONE: Claiming to audibly hear from God either makes you crazy, or a prophet – and only time can tell which is true. If you claim things are going to happen because God says they will – and then they don't happen – that means you're cray cray, and a false prophet. That also makes your followers a bunch of dupes. Sadly, the 19th and 20th centuries were full of crazy false prophets with mindless sheep worshipping them. (Creating False Prophets) *** Headline: “Exciting Wake!” When you see the words “exciting” and “wake” in the same headline, you can make a guess that someone is not resting in peace! (Exciting Wake)==========HOUR TWO: “The Witching Hour of 3AM” *** You don't have to go to a cemetery or haunted house to experience the supernatural. You don't need to drive a cursed road to encounter a ghost. Sometimes the paranormal takes place on military bases. (The Military And The Mysterious) *** The corpse of a murderer winds up doing advertising for a drug store. (The Murder of Maggie Walker) *** In 1922, an otherwise unremarkable farmhouse in Novia Scotia was the site of alleged poltergeist activity which made headlines all over Canada and the United States. A poltergeist that liked to set fires. (The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A smitten fan falls in love with a talented actress, and convinces himself she loves him in return. This sounds very much like a story out of today's entertainment magazines – but this tale of unrequited love took place in the 1880's. (The Lunatic James Dougherty) *** The terrifying Aswang is the most feared creature of Philippine folklore—and with good reason. I'll tell you why. (The Deadly Aswang) ** Reports have been coming in from people claiming to see full-sized African lions not in the Savannah or in the wilderness – but in North America. But is there any truth to the their claims?

Is your spiritual awakening making you question… everything? From quitting your 9-to-5 to selling crystals on Etsy, it's easy to wonder what “living your purpose” even means. But what if you didn't need to burn your life down to wake up? What if spiritual awakening could look a lot more grounded? This week, we're diving deep with Kara Goodwin, host of the Soul Elevation Podcast, meditation guide, energy healer, and author of Your Authentic Awakening: A Guide to Everyday Spiritual Living. Kara joins us for a hilariously real and mind-expanding convo that's one part TED Talk, one part ayahuasca ceremony, and all parts truth serum for your soul. Whether you're a spiritual newbie or a seasoned seeker secretly side-eyeing your job as a spiritual imposter, this episode is your permission slip to stop faking alignment and start living it, without needing to join a cult or relocate to a Peruvian jungle.What You'll Discover in This Episode: ✅ What “living your purpose” really means; spoiler: it's not always about quitting your job or becoming a guru.✅ The truth about spiritual awakenings: how to know if you're in one and why your life might be crumbling (on purpose).✅ How Kara's personal tragedies cracked her wide open and sparked an authentic, life-changing spiritual journey.✅ Plant medicine: sacred tool or spiritual bandwagon? Kara shares insights from her mushroom experiences and the dream that told her to walk away.✅ The danger of spiritual dogma, even in “non-dogmatic” communities, and how to avoid becoming a cosmic copy-paste.✅ How to stay in your life without losing your awakening (yes, you can have a family, a job and a foot in the fifth dimension).✅ Why authenticity is the new enlightenment, and how to sniff it out (literally). Also in This Episode: - Kara's psychedelic experiences (including a psychic connection to mushroom chocolate before even eating it!) Why some of her most powerful visions happen with just CBD, meditation, and a hypnagogic stateHer honest take on energy healing, spiritual fads, and “awakening guilt”The subtle art of knowing when your guides are whispering… and how not to mistake them for imaginationWhat Kara's spirit guides would name their own podcast, and what the first episode would cover Who Should Listen?

After much deliberation, the party departed from Tai'ja, hitching a ride on "The Black Gull," a smuggler's vessel. Of course, not without a cost. Trading over their last Geysershell Pearl, they secured passage to the Artisan village of Depford and then made their way to Wolf's Lodge under the cover of night. With the meager time they had left, Finavir would need to convince Origin Charles to hand over the "triangle" Key and hopefully, not further alter the timeline. Meanwhile, Replicant Charles had plans of his own and approached Seraphius, attempting to find a way to save his life. The timeline seems to have shifted once again, the Far Traveler's warning only a whisper on the breeze.Tai'ja is far behind our band of Seekers now. With their goal to put distance between themselves and the Red Kingdom's influence and return to Lamb's Respite, they have made the decision to travel through the Forest of the Forgotten. And although recent events and dangerous revelations loom over some more heavily than others, they have carried onward.Support Us:Please consider contributing to the production of the podcast.Patreon: https://patreon.com/missingrollplayerfoundAbout:The Gate Chronicles (aka TGC) is an actual play RPG run in the Pathfinder RPG system.

For some, God's presence can be difficult to find or feel. Like the psalmists, we struggle with asking, “Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?” (Ps 10:1). Nate Williams joins with Dr. Jeffery Leonard to talk about the elusiveness of God, through Leonard's book "Seekers in the Hands of an Elusive God."To support the Apologetics Resource Center (ARC) online, you can visit here: https://givebutter.com/rsOlgfDr. Leonard's website: https://biblicalexplorations.com/
