Dave celebrates the show's unofficial 600th Friday episode from the increasingly unreliable Dopey studio at his father's house—and considers either dismantling the whole operation or hiring Ray as the new engineer.The episode begins with recovery anniversaries from the Dopey Nation. Mr. Jason celebrates one year sober and reflects on repeatedly returning after relapse, while Haley marks five years free from drugs after beginning at age 12. Hippie Earl delivers a classic Dopey voicemail about shooting heroin for the first time after having his wisdom teeth removed, mixing it with Percocet, Klonopin and alcohol, destroying his car and waking up with no memory of being arrested. Seventeen years later, he is celebrating a year completely sober.Dave also launches the latest Dopey versus Phish beef, announces that Hamilton Morris is officially coming to DopeyCon, discusses the DopeyCon theme-song challenge and reads listener reactions to last week's Jeff Garlin interview—including stories about food addiction, recovery and Dave's allegedly improved listening skills.Then Dave sits down with Garrett McClendon for one of the wildest and most complete meth stories ever told on Dopey.Garrett grew up in California's Antelope Valley with a mother addicted to methamphetamine. By his early teens, he was smoking and selling speed, dropping out of school and getting high alongside his mother. Together, they stole three enormous pigs, loaded them into Garrett's 1977 Toyota Celica and sold them at auction—only for his mother to short him on his share of the money.From there, Garrett's life descends into stolen cars, homemade meth pipes, purple crank, mobile meth labs, prison riots and increasingly elaborate criminal schemes. He trades half a gram of meth for a Toyota, steals an enormous boulder for a drug connection, receives 168 traffic tickets and eventually organizes drug drops into prison using runners, duffel bags, trash cans and body-cavity “plugs.”In prison, Garrett injects meth for the first time. Once released, he combines meth and heroin in goofball shots and becomes trapped in a cycle of addiction, homelessness, incarceration and treatment. Everything finally begins to change when his friend Levi—nine months sober—embraces him inside a treatment facility and tells him, “I really hope you stay.”Garrett did stay. Thirteen years later, he has rebuilt his relationships, established a career in construction, helped create Mindset Recovery and become the present father his daughter always deserved. His story culminates in an emotional moment when his daughter asks him to continue their tradition and buy the dress she will wear to her college graduation.It's an outrageous, cinematic and ultimately beautiful episode about addiction, belonging, incarceration, fatherhood, service and the possibility of building an entirely new life.All that and much ore on this brand spanking new episode of the good old dopey show!

It was a really hot night in the middle of summer - July 4, 1988, in San Angelo, Texas. Seventeen-year-old Shane Stewart was gearing up for the Fourth of July holiday celebrations by picking up his girlfriend, eighteen-year-old Sally McNelly, and they were going to watch the fireworks. After that, Shane and Sally disappeared. They never made it home. That was almost forty years ago - and since then this case has been caught up in rumors of Satanic Panic, a devil worshipping cult, a man who was arrested with blood and fingernails in his house, and whispers of a police conspiracy. But it all started with two missing teenagers. If you have a case you’d like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.

Let's hop in our time machine and head back to the very first episode of Insights at the Edge, with Tami Simon interviewing Geneen Roth in 2009. Geneen, who's also been on Insights as recently as this year, was fresh off losing decades of savings in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Tami asked her how to work with the voice that says “you idiot!” Geneen's answer separates honest grief from self-cruelty, and gives you something to actually do about it. Seventeen years later, it still lands.(86 words)Listen to the full episode, “No Situation is Unworkable” → https://bit.ly/geneenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Just One More Page, we're throwing it back to the golden age of YA fantasy with Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the first book in the Covenant series! Have you read the Covenant series? More importantly… are you Team Aiden or Team Seth? About The Novel: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi—pure-bloods—have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals—well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1: Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem—staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck. Wanna check us out? Then Click Here!

Seventeen-year-old Destry Allen was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head by his own father, Bart. Authorities ruled it a "pristine suicide" - but to Bart, and to several experts who later examined the case, almost nothing about the scene pointed to suicide. The subsequent investigation did little to resolve those questions. No autopsy was conducted, despite state law requiring one. No toxicology screen. No meaningful ballistics analysis. No testing of the blood evidence. Simply put: the investigation into Destry Allen's death seemed to end before it ever truly began.For Psychopedia's 200th episode, I wanted to do something that felt especially meaningful: use this platform to shine a light on a victim whose story deserves to be heard, and on a family that has spent two decades fighting to be heard alongside him. So I sat down with Bart Allen himself to hear, in his own words, what he saw when he found his son, what happened in the days and years that followed, and why he remains convinced there is far more to Destry's death than the official story. This is the story of a 17-year-old boy, a father and mother who refuse to stop fighting for him, and one haunting question that has never gone away: Did Destry Allen take his own life...or was he murdered in cold blood?DISCLAIMER: Any statements or theories presented in this episode regarding a potential suspect reflect the opinions and conclusions of Bart Allen, based on his interpretation of the physical evidence, timeline, anecdotal information, and his extensive review of the circumstances surrounding Destry's death. These allegations and theories have not been proven in a court of law, and no law enforcement agency has formally determined that any individual discussed in this episode was responsible for Destry's death. No person identified as a potential suspect in this episode has been charged with a crime in connection with Destry's death. All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.If you have any information relating to Destry Allen's death, or would like to connect with Bart Allen and/or Carl Conway, please use the contact info below:Bart Allen: bartjallen@gmail.comCarl Conway: carlpc1@gmail.comBart Allen's book, "A Pristine Suicide" can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FXZJYE?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackFollow/Subscribe wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

Seventeen years in, shooting as many as 40–50 weddings a year, and Janelle Elise still walks into every room with a giant smile. In an industry where people are famously burned out by year ten and quick to get cynical, that's not an accident — it's a philosophy. This one is a warm, honest conversation about what actually keeps a wedding photography career alive for the long haul.Janelle's whole approach comes back to one idea: people over photos. Beautiful images are the baseline now, not the differentiator — throw a rock at a wedding and you'll hit eleven talented photographers. What clients actually remember is how you made them feel. She shares how her dad shaped that in her ("this is the biggest day of their life, and you get to be part of it — what an honor"), why she'll show up joyful for a couple even on her hardest days, and how making people feel genuinely seen is the thing that refills her tank.We also get into the practical side: why she sets attainable, baby-step goals instead of audacious ones that give you an easy out, why fast turnaround matters so much (it's the number one client complaint about photographers), and her rule to always under-promise and over-deliver. Then there's humility — treating the wedding day like a team sport, grabbing the lighter to help light candles, bustling a dress, fighting quietly behind the scenes for the shot her couple will treasure most.If you've ever worried about staying relevant as trends shift, Janelle's answer is refreshingly simple: the only thing that has to stay relevant is the couple, and how well you serve them.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy "people over photos" is what makes a career timeless as trends changeHow to avoid the year-ten burnout with real work-life balanceSetting attainable, baby-step goals instead of audacious ones you'll bail onWhy fast turnaround is the #1 thing clients care about — and how to over-deliver on itHow humility and a team-first mindset with other vendors elevates the whole dayGoing to battle behind the scenes for your couples (and why kindness gets the "yes")Why the algorithm doesn't book weddings — relationships and referrals doWhether you shoot weddings, portraits, or brands, Janelle will remind you that the humans in front of your lens are the whole point.This episode is brought to you by PhotoCo — the community, education, and coaching space built to help photographers grow businesses that actually last.

Filmmaker Todd Stephens is best known for his semi-autobiographical "Ohio Trilogy" — Edge of Seventeen (1998), Gypsy 83 (2001) and Swan Song (2021) — all set in his home town of Sandusky. Gypsy 83, his directorial debut, follows two small-town goth outsiders who leave Ohio for New York, chasing Gypsy's dream of performing at Night of a Thousand Stevies, the long-running celebration of Stevie Nicks. Twenty-five years on, Stephens has re-edited the film from frame one and restored it in 4K from the original 35mm negative, adding over forty minutes of unseen footage and an expanded soundtrack featuring The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ministry and Clan of Xymox. It stars Sara Rue, Karen Black, John Doe and Birkett "Kett" Turton, whose performance as Clive won the Grand Jury Award for Outstanding Actor at Outfest. Turton made his debut in Rollercoaster (1999), later trained at RADA, and has since appeared in Blade: Trinity, Saved!, Dead Last, Kingdom Hospital, iZombie, The Flash and Keeper.

If one key person disappeared tomorrow, would your organization have an inconvenience or a crisis? Most nonprofit leaders think succession planning means naming the next executive director someday. Someday, when there's plenty of notice, an engaged board, clean finances, and every password stored somewhere safe. That's a fairy tale. In this episode, Kari Anderson, Principal of Incite! Consulting, shares a practical framework for nonprofit succession planning that fits inside real organizations with real capacity limits: people, plan, money. People. Find the single points of failure, including the invisible job descriptions nobody wrote down. The glue person who quietly prevents twenty small things from becoming five large emergencies is often your biggest risk. Plan. Seventeen priorities are not priorities. Strong long term planning answers what you're committed to, what comes next, and what you will stop, pause, or decline. Money. Fundraising is not a personal trait. It's a system of relationships and repeatable actions. If your top twenty donor relationships live in one inbox, you have donor records but not organizational donor relationships. Kari also walks through a three month starting sequence, decision rights that reduce board and staff friction, and why hero culture takes out a loan against your organization's future. The goal is not an organization where no one matters. It's one where many people matter, knowledge is shared, and the mission keeps moving. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Bryan Caswell has cooked inside three very different kinds of rooms. Jean-Georges Vongerichten's kitchen in the early 2000s, where he learned that a quiet, organized kitchen beats a screaming one. Seventeen restaurant openings of his own, roughly half of them his own concepts, from Reef to his new restaurant Latuli in Houston. And, less known, rooms full of policy people deciding how the Gulf actually gets fished.Why he thinks the redfish fishery is in the best shape he's seen in his career, and why almost nobody outside the industry knows itA real proposal for cutting aquaculture's biggest cost problem in half, using something shrimp boats currently throw away for freeThe specific menu-writing rule he still uses today, learned running R&D inside one of the most systemized restaurant groups in the country: count every move a dish takes to plateAndré Natera and Bryan Caswell cover what it was actually like working under Jean-Georges before he was a household name, why talent alone breaks the moment a chef has to build a kitchen from nothing instead of running an established one, the Gulf Coast bycatch program he pioneered at Reef that's now industry standard, why he hasn't touched red wine in a sauce in over two decades, and his return to Houston with Latuli, his first restaurant of his own since Reef closed.It ends where every episode ends, with the Mount Rushmore.Guest@wholefishLatuli HoustonLinksLead Like a Chef App → https://studio.com/apps/andre/leadlikeachefGet the Books → https://chefspsa.com/booksShop Chef's PSA Merch → https://shop.chefspsa.com/Get Episodes Early on Substack → https://chefspsa.substack.com/Follow Chef's PSA on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chefspsa/

IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended that you watch the film “Gypsy 83” before listening to this episode! Todd Stephens is the critically acclaimed writer and director that brought us such seminal pieces of queer cinema as “Edge of Seventeen,” “Gypsy 83,” and “Swan Song.” Todd recently released the 25th anniversary director’s cut of his 2001 goth-roadtrip masterpiece “Gypsy 83.” Ryan sits down with Todd to fan out, talk growing up goth, the impact of queer cinema, and why small towns are both heaven and hell.
“I've been, so one of my writer friends who I published, a guy called Ian Kerner, he was one of the producers behind “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and “Stay Another Day” by Seventeen and Kylie. He was a big producer, and I took him to Eurovision. He was the first person I went with, and he turned to me and said, ‘This is the biggest thing I've ever done.' And I'm sitting there thinking, ‘But you were number one in America with Rick Astley.' Yet he's saying that he meant the show. The show was, ‘I've never been, it's like the Olympics. It's that big.' And then you want to go back every year. Every time I take someone new, they're like, ‘I'll come back next year. I'm trying to get in next year.'” – Greig WattsThis episode's guest is one half of the UK-based writing, production and publishing team DWB, and in recent years, he's successfully hosted several songwriting camps, catering to Asia and Eurovision. The triumph of these camps and the songs they produced has established him as an expert in the fields of songwriting for the Eurovision Song Contest. Since 2016, he's supervised eighteen Eurovision entries across eleven consecutive years, along with approximately 80 national finalists within that time frame. His expertise has also led to him becoming a sought-after conference speaker, panelist, and moderator; he was the Music Consultant for Eurovision for the BBC for 2019, and he's just released his first book, Keeping the Dream Alive, which has already become an Amazon bestseller.In this conversation, we explore the moments when he nearly walked away from music, the power of reconnecting with the sounds that first moved him, and why he believes creativity is less about ego and more about connection. His name is Greig Watts, and we talk about using Eurovision as a strategic launchpad and how understanding the business of music can protect the soul of it. If you've wondered how sound becomes strategy, or how resilience turns into resonance, this episode is for you.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Greig's Transition to SongwritingOur conversation starts off with Greig's early memories of sound, particularly how, as a toddler, Manfred Mann's “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” became part of the soundtrack of his life. “Whenever I hear that song,” he explains, “my great-grandmother Goodman pops back into my head, and I can only have been three at the time, but it's a real, definite memory, and I think I've got lots of those memories.” Greig tells us how his career in sound began, including how he turned down a record deal as the lead singer to follow his true passion. “What I really wanted was the songwriting,” he tells us. “It wasn't to be a front person… I was kind of getting engaged to my first wife, and I was like, I don't really want to go to Japan and be a front person in a band. I want to be a songwriter.”(14:05) – Eurovision and the Global MarketGreig tells us about his work with Eurovision and what it's taught him about bringing new musical acts to the world. “We organized our own songwriting camp,” he recalls, “and asked people to come. Probably had thirty people out there, and that's how we got our first entry for Norway. And since then, we've had an entry every year, and actually we've had 18 entries in 11 years.” We discuss his work with boy bands, J-pop, and K-pop artists, and how the international pop scene's shifted in recent years. “Japanese [artists] don't tend to come out of Japan so much,” he explains. “It's a big market, they're not so bothered about that. But Korean culture, the government is funding Korean culture coming out. That's why we're getting, you know, Squid Game. That's why we get lots of Korean films.”(28:41) – Greig's Reflections on CreativityWe discuss how Greig's career almost took a turn away from sound, and what it took to bring him back into the industry. “Eventually, I kind of felt I needed to take a year off,” he tells us, “but I wasn't going to say that. I kind of knew it, and eventually, about two years later, my wife said, ‘You need to finish now. You need to go and take a year off.'" He talks about his foray into banking, and the breakthrough that cemented his career as a songwriter. “We did say, give me a year and if I'm not making money by the end of the year, then I go back to the bank… On month twelve, I got offered a job to set up a publishing department of a record label, which meant as a songwriter, I suddenly had income.”Episode SummaryGrieg's shift from band member to songwriter and music consultant.His insights into the Asian music market and its dynamics.Our discussion on how sound influences our feelings and memories.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the valuable lessons his grandfather shared with him and others in his life, how neurodiversity can almost be an advantage when it comes to certain industries, and why being the best songwriter doesn't necessarily lead to the most success.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Three days. Seventeen hours. Twelve jurors, five possible verdicts, and a door nobody can see behind.Day three of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial ended Monday afternoon with no verdict and instructions to come back Tuesday. Robin breaks down where the case actually stands...the criminal responsibility standard, what "not guilty" would really mean here, and why the jury's request for the pill bottles and the knife tells you they're doing the work.Then the sidewalk: the pink shirts, the twenty-five-plus Etsy designs, the defense attorney fan merchandise, the free coffee at a verdict watch, and the fact that somebody bought the Duxbury house.Plus a viral post arguing that a not-guilty verdict from a nine-woman jury is grounds for repealing the Nineteenth Amendment, and the math problem that argument doesn't survive.And in Philadelphia in the House of Horrors case...fifty hard drives, five urns, four missing women, no bodies, and what investigators say they found on one of those drives this week, which is something Western media very much claims doesn't exist as a theory.

This one's a step back to look at the big picture, because a lot of the Gen Xers I talk to are too busy living life to see it.Three things are colliding at once.Corporate is chaos. It's not your age, it's your expense. Somebody can do half your job for half the price, and that's who gets picked. Getting laid off is one thing. Getting back in is the real problem. Look around your own network if you don't believe me.The savings math. The generation before us had pensions. We got a 401k and a how-to video. Roughly half of Gen X has nothing put away, and the typical household isn't close to what 30 years actually costs.Longevity. This is the good news. If you take care of yourself there's a real chance you're looking at 30 or 40 more years, healthy and active.Put those three together and it doesn't add up.I'm not doing this to scare anybody. It's not a prediction, it's already happening. But there are two ways to react. You can treat it as a sunset and ride it out. Or you can treat it as the start of a second adult lifetime, which is the way I'm choosing to look at it.The back half of this episode is the part that matters: you already have everything you need to generate income on your own. The skills, the experience, the problem solving. What's in the way is unlearning what corporate taught you, and the fact that we make making money way more complicated than it needs to be.In this episode:Why it's your expense, not your ageThe musical chairs problem, and why the chairs aren't coming backPensions versus the 401k handoffWhat 30 or 40 more years actually costsWhy gig work is the wrong answerLow friction, high margin income, and what that actually looks likeWhy the first dollar outside corporate changes everythingTIMESTAMPS00:00 — Welcome, and why I'm zooming out this week01:20 — Naming it: Gen X has a math problem01:42 — Two ways to react: sunset, or jumpstart02:05 — Musical chairs, and why they're pulling five at a time02:25 — Part 1: It's not your age, it's your expense03:40 — Getting laid off isn't the problem.

What do 30 years in corporate travel have to do with running a homeless shelter? More than you'd think.In this episode of the RKD Group: Chat podcast, host Nipa Eason talks with Susan Blouch, Executive Director of Lebanon Rescue Mission, about the nontraditional path that took her from owning a corporate travel business to leading an 81-year-old, faith-based nonprofit as its first woman executive director and first non-pastoral leader in its history.Susan closed her business in 2010 with no job lined up, spent months in interviews, and was told outright by a friend: "They are never going to give this job to a woman." Seventeen years later, she's led two capital campaigns, relocated an entire men's campus, and is currently building a 25,000-square-foot facility to serve women with children and a fast-growing population almost no one is talking about: seniors experiencing homelessness.In this conversation:- Why nonprofit hiring managers should stop reading job titles and start reading skill sets- How Susan navigated community pushback as a single woman leading a gospel rescue mission- Walking into a capital campaign on Day 1, including a zoning board rejection and appeal- Why 45% of Lebanon Rescue Mission's guests are now over 65, and what that changes about shelter design- The shift from communal dorms to 40 private rooms, and why dignity matters for guests in their 70s and 80s- The unexpected mentorship happening between senior and younger guests- Practical strategies for preventing staff burnout and secondary trauma on the front lines- What it means to actually live out "God, family, work" as an organizational valueThree takeaways for your nonprofit:- Hire for skill sets, not titles. The best candidate for your open role may come from an industry that looks nothing like yours.- You don't know what you don't know. Surround yourself with good counsel, put one foot in front of the other, and stay willing to change direction.- Learn to tell the noise from the voice of truth. There will never be a shortage of people telling you how to do your job.About Lebanon Rescue Mission: Founded more than 80 years ago in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Lebanon Rescue Mission provides emergency shelter, meals, and recovery programs for men, women, and children experiencing homelessness.About RKD Group: Chat: RKD Group: Chat brings you behind the scenes of nonprofit life, spotlighting the compassion and purpose behind the individuals solving the world's most challenging problems.

The Good Witch and The Bad Witch ponder a MannWitch query this week in the back end bookend of DWW summer episodes! We are back to a full episode next week!
Two hours. One subject. Every documented corruption and abuse of power question about the Trump administration, in order, with the receipts attached and the counterargument stated out loud every single time. John Yoo wrote the torture memos. He is, by a wide margin, the most expansive thinker on presidential power in modern American life. And he looked at a US military strike that killed two unarmed men clinging to wreckage and wrote that it was, quote, simply murder. That is where this episode starts. Here is the thread running through all of it, and it is not the one you are expecting: most of what I cover here is legal. The president is exempt from the conflict of interest law that binds nearly every other federal employee. Blind trusts are a tradition, not a requirement. The pardon power has almost no limits. So the question is not only did he break the law. It is whether any president should be able to do this at all. Enrichment and entrenchment. Using the office to make money, and using it to remove the things that could stop you. Both count. I keep them separate. This is a special edition, and it is only the tip of the iceberg.

A single radio station can explain an entire era if you listen closely enough. We rewind to WLIR 92.7 and the Screamer of the Week, when DJs pitched their favorite new songs and listeners called in to vote, turning early 1980s rock radio into a hands-on discovery engine. That lens lets us hear 1981 the way it actually felt: unpredictable, genre-blurring, and way ahead of the mainstream curve. We jump from The Tubes' “Talk To Ya Later” to the behind-the-scenes web that connects Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead, and Steve Lukather's instantly recognizable guitar work. From there, we track the early MTV effect and why music video exposure changed record sales, then land on deep-cut details around PhD and Squeeze's “Tempted,” including the kind of production and guest-vocal surprises you'd never catch without liner notes and obsessive re-listening. We also dig into the UK approach to singles versus the American “greatest hits” mindset, which helps explain how some songs live outside the album cycle. Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen” brings in influence, misheard words, and that Police-inspired guitar feel, and Duran Duran's “Girls On Film” turns into a mini history of censorship, nightclub cuts, and what MTV could and couldn't show. Along the way we veer into peak real-life tangents: a legendary misheard-lyrics moment, a tabloid Brooklyn Bridge headline, a dog casually attending Rush at Madison Square Garden, plus a quick “Minute with Jimmy” review of the Strokes' new album Reality Awaits.

Silicon Bites Ep379 | 2026-08-05 | Twenty-eight ballistic missiles over Kyiv. Zero stopped. Seventeen dead. And a West that has run out of interceptors, run out of urgency, and run out of excuses. Have we also run out of compassion? Run out of political capacity to defend ourselves and our allies, run dry of strategic clarity to see and oppose our enemies – those that would seek to destroy is – and run out of any sense of geopolitical morality enough to care? There is a slaughter taking place daily, nightly in Ukraine, on our watch, enabled by our inaction and weakness. And the consequences may soon be a full-scale genocide and ecocide that we are allowing, enabling. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

An orange farm near Valencia, abandoned for a decade, a family debt, and a website. Seventeen years later: 500,000 customers, 350 partner farmers, 400 employees, and not a single discount ever run.Gonzalo Úrculo is co-founder of Crowdfarming, the direct-to-consumer platform that connects European consumers directly with farmers — no wholesaler, no distributor, no price negotiation after harvest. He came back from his Erasmus in Berlin, talked his family out of selling the grandfather's farm, and spent the first two years renting a van to sell oranges face-to-face at markets in Paris and Berlin. The record before a Guardian article ran in 2012 was 20 orders a day. The day it ran: 240. The website collapsed.The mechanic behind everything that followed is almost offensively simple: fruit is only picked when it is ordered. A Valencia orange reaches a kitchen in Germany in three to four days. The same orange through a conventional supply chain — including the organic one — takes a minimum of seventeen.We walked the original citrus field together, trees all around us carrying name tags of their adopted owners somewhere in Germany, France, and Austria, and talked about the argument Gonzalo makes that gets him in trouble at French farming conferences.In this episode:— How the tree adoption model was invented by customers who showed up unannounced to visit their trees— Why the business-plan target was 1,000 adoptions and they hit 10,000 in under a year— Why customers forgive almost anything if you communicate honestly and in advance— How picking only to order cuts waste structurally — not as a policy but as a consequence of the model— Why predictable pre-season income is the one thing that makes regenerative transition economically rational for a farmer— Why CAP subsidies are not going to farmers — they're going to supermarkets— What Gonzalo would do with €1 billion, and why his magic wand answer is the same thing he built his entire company aroundMore about this episode.Thoughts?

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Lectionary: 405 The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of Loyola Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Story The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat near Barcelona. He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper's hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. It was during this year of conversion that Ignatius of Loyola began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the Spiritual Exercises. He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. Ignatius of Loyola spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned; Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods. In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others—one of whom was Saint Francis Xavier—vowed to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later Ignatius of Loyola made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found homes for orphans, catechumens, and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the model of all other colleges of the Society. Ignatius of Loyola was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls. Reflection Luther nailed his theses to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. Seventeen years later, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society that was to play so prominent a part in the Catholic Reformation. He was an implacable foe of Protestantism. Yet the seeds of ecumenism may be found in his words: “Great care must be taken to show forth orthodox truth in such a way that if any heretics happen to be present they may have an example of charity and Christian moderation. No hard words should be used nor any sort of contempt for their errors be shown.” One of the greatest ecumenists was the 20th-century German Jesuit, Cardinal Augustin Bea.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Jack Osbourne grew up with cameras in the house. The Osbourne's made his family the biggest thing on television, and he was earning seven figures by 15. He got sober at 17 and has held that line for over two decades. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 26. Since then he's built his own lane — adventure television, paranormal investigation, two podcasts, and a purple belt in jiu-jitsu. Last July, his father played the biggest farewell show in rock history. Seventeen days later, Ozzy was gone. This conversation carries weight and goes sideways in equal measure. Making serious money as a kid and learning the hard way that the people hired to protect it don't always deserve the trust. Grieving a parent while untangling the business that comes with a famous last name. The final concert — a living wake where his dad got to say goodbye on his own terms — and the week at home together afterward. Then the throttle opens: the UFC card on the White House South Lawn, a month in the Australian jungle on 500 calories a day, ghost stories he can't explain, the Nazca mummies, a plan to buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier, and bringing OzFest back.

Live conversation on the Siders case with Robin Dreeke, the retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.Here is the line that started it. Ohio's attorney general described what he had seen inside the Hamden home where sixteen children were found. If law enforcement had waited a certain amount of time longer, he said, there was a very high probability of a death or multiple deaths.Deputies were not even looking for children when they arrived. The warrant came out of an unrelated investigation.Sixteen kids, from eighteen months old to eighteen years old, came out of that house. The sheriff said they had been kept for most of four years in a room measuring roughly twelve feet by twelve feet and said most of the livestock in his county lived better. The attorney general called it pure evil and said the children looked like almost feral animals.Four adults, each charged with sixteen counts of endangering children. Four not guilty pleas.Now hold the other side. Elizabeth Siders was fifteen and seven months pregnant when a judge and both sets of parents approved her marriage in 2008. Her attorney says the case is about poverty and isolation, not evil, and that evil requires malice. Seventeen years later she is charged alongside the people who signed for her.Dreeke and Tony argue through all of it, including how a town of roughly seven hundred people, plus relatives who say they visited, could miss what was in that room.Bring your take.

A good chunk of Supergirl’s DNA can be traced back to True Grit by way of the comics miniseries the film is adapting, which is why we paired it with Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2010 version of that story. But as our discussion of Craig Gillespie’s new entry in James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe details, Supergirl often feels less indebted to its space-western source material than to several other superhero films that preceded it, including some of Gunn’s. That makes it tough to balance a film we all consider okay-at-best against a stone-cold Coens classic, but we attempt to anyway in Connections as we consider these two films’ shared interest in vengeance, western tropes, and really, really bad guys with murky motivations. Then in Your Next Picture Show, we honorTrue Grit’s star-making performance with a recommendation for another Hailee Steinfeld film that’s a favorite of this podcast, The Edge of Seventeen. Please share your thoughts about True Grit, Supergirl, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next Pairing: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and The Coen Brothers’ (yes, again) O Brother, Where Art Thou?
