Jane Rogoyska explores the history of Paris's Hôtel Lutetia, which served as a haven for fleeing Weimar intellectuals before becoming a Nazi military intelligence headquarters in 1940. Rogoyska traces waves of refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, including writers Heinrich Mann and Lion Feuchtwanger. These figures struggled to warn an indifferent Europe about the dangers of fascism. Despite personal tragedies and bureaucratic challenges, literary giants like James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Arthur Koestler frequented the hotel, carrying poison just in case they were captured.

In October 2000, the small Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen, New South Wales, became the scene of one of the most horrific crimes in Australian history. John Price was brutally murdered in his home by his partner, Katherine Knight, an abattoir worker with a long, history of domestic violence against the men in her life but with no criminal record to show for this. What police discovered inside the house shocked even the most seasoned investigators: Knight had skinned, decapitated, and cooked parts of her partner, creating a horrific crime scene that remains etched in true crime history. Katherine Knight was the first, and to this day only, woman in Australian history to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Gemma Bath sits down with author Roje Augustine, who spent three years researching Knight's life to unpack her upbringing in Aberdeen, her fascination with the abattoir kill rooms, and the escalation of her violent relationships.

Gaius and Germanicus: On a rainy late summer night in 92 AD Londinium, the hosts convene in their newly expanded wine bar by the River Thames, built so retired centurions of the eighth legion—such as Strabo, who served twenty-seven years—can rest and put their feet up. Gaius apologizes for his tardiness, delayed by a commercial dispute with a Gaulishmerchant demanding extra money for a shipment of Greek wine brought across the choppy English Channel; a poor bargainer, Gaius resolves to pay whatever it takes to secure the wine for the centurions by Sunday, and shares his day planting fragrant sumacs and tall purple-flowered ironweeds as pollinators. From this first-century frame, the hosts turn to the collapse of American strategy: the Persian Empire (modern Iran) no longer fears the American "imperator," as shown by Iran inviting Iraq—a country generously supported by the United States for years—to ship at least five backed-up tankers of oil through the Strait of Hormuzuntouched, and by Pakistani army chief General Munir's travel to Tehran to meet the IRGC. Russia and China are in constant communication with Iran; Germanicus traces Russia's interest to the nineteenth century, the 1908 spheres-of-influence division, and the 1942 invasion, arguing the American "feckless war" has stitched the Eurasian continent together and frozen the US out. Where the post-9/11 US "bestrode the Middle East like a colossus" and Iran sought breathing room through the JCPOA, now Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan court Tehran, the Gulf states seek accommodations in the new order, and the US has been reduced to nothing more than Israel's direct defender.

Officer Randy Keith is a military veteran, a 15-year law enforcement officer, and the founder of Present Father, a platform that now reaches hundreds of thousands of dads across the world. He didn't set out to build a movement. He built it from the darkest chapter of his life, a high-conflict divorce that put him through false allegations, an order of protection that nearly cost him his career, CPS interviews of his young children, and the terror of dropping his kids off not knowing if he'd get them back. Randy walks Larry through the night it all began, why he chose 50-50 custody when his attorney said he could have won full custody, and the moment in his car around the corner from his ex-wife's house when he pulled out his phone and started talking, the post that became Present Father. This is a raw conversation about father's rights, staying present against enormous odds, and turning your mess into your message. It's also a heavy one, with an honest look at how many men in these situations reach the edge, and why community can be lifesaving.   Timeline Summary [1:23] – The night his ex-wife went for the gun safe and he called 911 [4:34] – Declining to press charges because he didn't want to jail the mother of his kids [5:48] – Discharged in hours after telling nurses he was abusing his power as an officer [7:14] – Filing a Title 36 mental health petition and getting emergency custody [9:01] – Choosing 50-50 so he could look his kids in the eye someday [10:15] – His attorney saying he was in the driver's seat and could have full custody [12:13] – Served with an order of protection built on false allegations [13:09] – How a federal firearm statute nearly ended his law enforcement career [14:38] – His kids interviewed by CPS at school without his knowledge [15:40] – The mosquito-bite doctor's note that became a bedbugs and abuse allegation [17:25] – Inviting CPS in, and being asked to teach parenting classes at the end [20:49] – Why she really moved four hours away, and the job that lasted two weeks [23:28] – The threats that continue and the fears he carries as a target [26:35] – Finding purpose in the worst season and turning mess into message [30:10] – Why high-conflict divorce is rare, and why so few men talk about it [33:28] – Introducing Randy Keith and the Present Father platform [36:00] – The moment in the car that birthed Present Father [38:24] – The first TikTok post and the flood of men who felt the same [42:30] – From 800 followers to nearly 900,000 across platforms [44:08] – The suicide messages, and how Randy responds personally [46:08] – Sean Pearson and the Dad to Dad peer support platform [47:22] – The father who thanked him for comforting his son in his final moments [48:06] – Larry on losing two men from the Dad Edge community to suicide [50:30] – The therapist's question that reframed suicide for Larry in 2017 [52:22] – Why the pain is a season, not a life sentence [53:39] – Larry on being glad he didn't listen when people said "this too shall pass," and glad he listened just enough [54:08] – The vision for Present Father: a nonprofit providing attorneys to the falsely accused [54:35] – Advocating in D.C. for equal shared parenting as the standard [56:05] – Bankruptcy as a common cost of fighting for your kids [56:34] – What he learned from his first relationship and carried into his new marriage [57:57] – Why one bad experience doesn't mean everyone will treat you the same [59:55] – Where to connect with Randy and the Present Father Show   5 Key Takeaways Presence Beats Perfection — Your kids don't need a perfect father. They need a present one. Even when circumstances are stacked against you, showing up consistently is what matters most. Your Mess Is Your Message — You don't have to be the polished expert to help people. Randy's raw honesty as an everyday guy going through it reaches people precisely because it's real and relatable, not because he has it all figured out. The Pain Is a Season, Not a Sentence — In the darkest moments it feels like it will never end, but it's temporary. Suicide doesn't end the pain, it transfers it to the people you love most, for generations. Reaching out and finding community can be lifesaving. You're Not Alone in This — High-conflict divorce and false allegations are isolating, and shame keeps men silent. Finding even one other person who's been through it turns unbearable isolation into a community and a path forward. One Bad Experience Isn't the Whole World — Surviving a devastating relationship doesn't mean everyone will treat you the same way. With honest due diligence and self-work, there is happiness and partnership on the other side.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1521 Present Father (Randy Keith's website): https://present-father.com  The Present Father Show podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2PZwSoq6glUSq20CcHB88R Roommates to Soulmates (cohort 3, starts September 16, free preview calls September 8 and 9): https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl   If You're Struggling This episode deals openly with suicide.

  Peter Palivos is an attorney, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized advocate for America's veterans. While building a successful legal career, Peter has dedicated decades to serving military families through philanthropy, veteran support initiatives, and large-scale community events. His passion for honoring those who have served recently culminated in bringing more than 40,000 people together at Allegiant Stadium for one of the nation's largest celebrations of veterans and military families.  Peter joins me today to share how five generations of military service shaped his love for America, why gratitude should always be backed by action, and how one conversation with a Vietnam veteran forever changed the direction of his life. We discuss the importance of serving those who have sacrificed for our freedom, the growing impact of large-scale veteran appreciation events, the responsibility communities have to care for military families, and how faith, generosity, and leadership can inspire others to make a lasting difference.  "It's important that we tell veterans, 'Thank you for your service,' but it's even more important that we back it up with deeds." – Peter Palivos  "Veterans ask for nothing, but once they come home injured, we have an affirmative duty to take care of them." – Peter Palivos  "We are not here as red Americans or blue Americans. We are here as red, white, and blue Americans because we love our country." – Peter Palivos  This Week on The Wow Factor:  How five generations of military service inspired Peter's lifelong commitment to serving veterans  Why a Vietnam veteran's personal story became the catalyst for Peter's philanthropic mission  The simple but powerful difference between thanking veterans and actively serving them  How veteran appreciation events grew from small community dinners to a 40,000-person gathering at Allegiant Stadium  Why Peter believes communities, businesses, and professional sports organizations can play a larger role in supporting military families  How faith, patriotism, and generosity continue to guide Peter's work and vision for the future  Peter Palivos' Words of Wisdom:  Gratitude is most meaningful when it moves beyond words and becomes action. When we honor those who have served and use our gifts to serve others, we help strengthen our communities and remind people they are never forgotten.  Connect with Peter Palivos:  Peter Palivos Website  Peter Palivos LinkedIn  Connect With Brad Formsma:  WOW Factor Website    Brad Formsma on LinkedIn    Brad Formsma on Instagram    Brad Formsma on Facebook

The guys react to Taylor Fritz taking the Washington title over Rafa Jodar, Alexandra Eala's breakout run as the first Filipino to win a WTA singles title, and whether she's officially a top-ten threat?

Colm Keena, Reporter with the Irish Times, discusses the publication of the names of 341 former members of the Christian Brothers being served with summons as part of a claim for damages for child sexual assault and rape.

Jeanine Pirro prosecuted an innocent man — an Olympic athlete — for felony vandalism. Not because the evidence supported it. Because it served Donald Trump's narrative. Federal prosecutors eventually dropped the charges. And then Trump publicly humiliated her anyway. Isaiah 5 called this 2,700 years ago — those who "call evil good and good evil." Pirro's story is the illustration. The systemic problem is the sermon. This is what happens when loyalty to a man replaces fidelity to truth. It always ends this way. It will always end this way.

The day Christine Wells-Wonsley laid her eighteen-year-old son Nolan to rest, her legal team was already moving. Ten-page preservation-of-evidence letters went out to Nolan's friends, their families, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, the district attorney, the coroner, and the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. Every institution and individual in the chain received the same message: litigation is anticipated, and nothing gets deleted.Nolan Wells went to a July 4 boat party on Horn Island with friends and never came home. His body was found two days later by a park ranger. The sheriff concluded no foul play before the autopsy results, the toxicology, or the FBI's digital evidence review were complete. The DA then sealed the official autopsy behind a grand jury she hasn't scheduled.His mother wasn't going to wait for that process to play out. She got Nolan's phone back from his friends and found both Snapchat accounts empty. She compared Life360 and Snapchat location data and found they didn't match. On July 29, she filed court-ordered subpoenas against five major tech platforms — demanding GPS data, login histories, messages, and password reset records. Twenty-one days to produce everything.The family is building a parallel investigation alongside the criminal one, and the preservation letters ensure nobody in the official chain can claim their records were lost.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
