In this unapologetic and wildly entertaining episode, Shipwreck unloads on the state of SNAP benefits, EBT misuse, and what she calls the "sugar prohibition" rolling out across multiple states. From viral Walmart clips to fiery rebuttals of entitlement culture, she calls out the laziness and lack of personal responsibility that's feeding America's obesity crisis. But the real heat comes for Nancy Mace, with a scathing roast that spirals into a wider critique of Congress, Israel trips, and the clown show in D.C. Expect sharp jabs at universal healthcare hypocrisy, a breakdown of taxpayer frustration, and even some thoughts on “Black Jesus,” WNBA drama, and haunted dolls. It's a full Shipwreck ride, raw, funny, and ferociously honest.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior cover a wide range of breaking stories and buried truths shaping the information war. They open with Donald Trump's latest Truth Social post, tying it to broader concerns about political persecution and media distraction tactics. The hosts highlight a chilling interview with whistleblower Edward Snowden on global surveillance, prompting deeper questions about digital control and government overreach. Updates on the Hunter Biden laptop investigation and the inconsistencies in the Secret Service's handling of the White House cocaine case further expose institutional failures. Special guest Shipwreck joins for a powerful segment dissecting media spin, election narrative shifts, and the psychological operations used to shape public perception. The show also covers the recent assassination attempt on Trump, rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and questions surrounding swing-state election integrity. From Google's AI-based censorship tools to the climate change agenda, CannCon, and Alpha connect the dots on how propaganda and fear are deployed to maintain control. As always, the episode blends sharp analysis, humor, and a rallying cry to stay vigilant.  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is solving complex problems across a host of disciplines, here Professor Lucy Blue asks Dr Alexandra Karamitrou, Lecturer in Archaeology and AI, University of Southampton to outline its use in maritime archaeology. Alexandra explains how AI models can analyse multiple datasets, such as geophysical data and satellite imagery to identify potential shipwreck locations by recognising patterns associated with submerged features.  Applications are many, including processing imagery to identify Crannogs, WWI and WWII wrecks, and offshore structures like oil rigs  – crucial for the protection of the ocean environment as leakages of harmful substances can occur from ageing wrecks and rigs. Hear Alexandra's views on how to ethically use AI and produce a more holistic picture of what our oceans comprise.  Can you believe there are three million shipwrecks to be identified and recorded?

In 1966, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey had been married for three years. They'd bought a house in the suburbs in the middle of England, and had jobs at the tax office and a printing press. “They're living a respectable day-to-day suburban existence — which is kind of driving them both crazy. And one rainy evening, Maralyn just says, ‘You know what? Why don't we sell this house and build a boat and go?'” Sophie Elmhirst's book is A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck. Say hello on Facebook and Instagram.

When Mick Doleman was a boy, all he wanted to do was to go to sea. At 18 years old, he got his chance, crewing on a freighter called the Blythe Star. But within hours, he was shipwrecked in the freezing, wild Southern Ocean off Tasmania with no chance of rescue. 50 years later, he's telling his story.

In Episode 13 of The Shipwreck Show, Shipwreck and Ashe in America cut through the noise to bring clarity and conviction to a culture in chaos. From the importance of speaking truth boldly to the art of staying grounded amid daily distractions, this episode is a call to courage. The hosts reflect on standing firm in your values, even when it's unpopular, and why real change requires real action, not just commentary. Whether it's politics, parenting, or personal discipline, Shipwreck and Ashe bring a no-nonsense perspective with humor, honesty, and heart. For those who feel overwhelmed or uncertain in the current climate, this episode offers a steady reminder: you're not alone, and holding the line matters more than ever.

In 1864, the American packet ship Adriatic was on voyage from London to New York when it was captured and burned by the notorious Confederate raider CSS Tennessee. The passengers and crew were taken prisoner, but the ship fell out of memory. In 2016, Captains John Noonan and John Bricker, and their team of divers discovered the old sailing vessel, along with some of its artifacts. John Noonan and John Bricker join me as guests to discuss the Adriatic, how they found, and the research involved to identify it. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano.

The rare Dark Bordered Beauty moth is found in only two sites in Scotland and one in England. Mark joins Dark Bordered Beauty Moth Champion Pete Moore at RSPB Insh Marshes nature reserve to find out more about attempts to reintroduce the moth to other areas in Scotland. Dark Bordered Beauty moths in Scotland are reliant on aspen suckers - shoots that sprout from the roots of an aspen tree, acting as a form of vegetative reproduction. Mark catches up with Conservation Manager Shaila Rao at Mar Lodge Estate in the Cairngorms to discover how the team are restoring aspen in the area. Rachel is in Dornoch to meet a group of women training for the traditional heavy events at the Highland Games. Mark and Rachel have a wander with David Coid and local historian Alasdair Malcolm on the coast of Prestwick, Ayrshire to explore a group of Grade-A listed houses built in the 1700s for the salt boiling industry. Phil Sime heads to a Creative Summer School with Cairngorms Connect to discover how the project helps local school children to explore art and creativity through different landscapes, habitats and species. Ben Saunders, Senior Marine Archaeologist at Wessex Archaeology, returns to the programme to update the team on exciting new information on the identity of the shipwreck found on Sanday, Orkney last year. Rachel meets Andrew Bateman who runs hiking tours in the Cairngorms with the comfort of a heated Nordic tipi at night. Andrew's highland ponies join the trek to carry the camping equipment. Mark and Rachel have a gander around Girvan as they continue to explore the Whithorn Way pilgrimage.

In this fiery episode of The Shipwreck Show, Shipwreck lays into the viral TikTok trend of flaunting food stamp-funded hauls packed with junk food and zero accountability. Frustrated by what she calls the “gluttonous turds of the internet,” she holds nothing back in her takedown of the entitlement culture around EBT abuse. From exposing the billions made by corporations like Amazon on SNAP spending to dissecting how “poor people cosplay as upper class” on the taxpayer's dime, Shipwreck urges listeners to take back control of their finances, health, and mindset. She shares her own journey from 300 pounds to stability, with hard-earned budgeting tips, meal planning hacks, and a strong dose of personal responsibility. Raw, unfiltered, and determined to make shame great again, Shipwreck challenges her audience to stop relying on government assistance and start building financial freedom one small choice at a time.

Shipwrecks as events are probably humanity's most common form of disaster”, writes my guest James Delgado “As such, shipwrecks–aside from epidemics, warfare on land, or great natural disasters—have been the cause of the greatest number of human deaths throughout history. Thanks to ships and other watercraft, humanity did not just walk across the globe from its ancestral home in Africa. We made use of the ocean as a source of food and as a means of travel on our global journey. Humanity's relationship with the water has also been shaped by the reality that for as much as is taken from the sea, something is lost. Those losses are ships, the goods on them, and people. Shipwrecks as events therefore ­have ­inspired ­one­ of ­the­ oldest­ genres­ of ­human ­reflection ­on­ the nature of life; [they] have been and remain a muse for religious thought, literature, music, and art.”These are some of Delgado's introductory observations in his new book The Great Museum of the Sea: A Human History of Shipwrecks, a deep dive into the surprisingly rich history of human disaster at sea, and what those wrecks can tell us, both about the past, and about ourselves. From the cause of shipwreck to the beginnings of maritime archaeology, Delgado offers a history, a meditation, and pieces of a maritime archaeologist's autobiography. James Delgado is Senior Vice President of SEARCH, Inc., the leading cultural resources firm in the United States. Previously he has been Director of Maritime Heritage for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; President and CEO of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA); and host of the National Geographic international television series "The Sea Hunters". He was last on the podcast in Episode 292 to discuss his book The Curse of the Somers, in the course of which conversation he became the only guest in the over four hundred episodes of this podcast to break into song. He has a very pleasant baritone.For Further Investigation "The Blake Ridge Wreck: A Deepwater Antebellum Fishing Craft"Cynthia Kierner on disasters, including shipwrecks, in antebellum America*

Carey Lucki sat down with us to talk about her deep pride and passion for the work Circle of Care does as a predominant organization in Ontario's home and community care sector. What sets Circle of Care apart, as you'll hear in this episode, is its unique combination of traditional home care and upstream social care programs. This includes transportation, meals on wheels, and innovative programs like their Adult Day Program, which contributes to that true wrap-around experience for their clients. Carey speaks passionately about her vision for the future of homecare, one where people can age gracefully in their homes, and where younger generations are encouraged to pursue careers in this space. Stick around to the end where we have a fun chat in our lightning round. Carey tells us about the fiction novel she's written, which she describes as the perfect beach read. Quotables: “What's unique is that we have this wrap-around service for clients. Because when our PSW goes in a home and sees an empty fridge, we can quickly link that client up with our meals program.” – CL “Having the leaders completely together, in jive, in sync at the top is really I think what made this happen.” – CL “Our Adult Day Program (ADP) is a gem, it's a little jewel… We always say when you're having a bad day at Circle of Care, go to the ADP.” – CL “Just the relief for the caregivers… it's tough on them and when they can drop somebody off for the day or the weekend, it makes a world of difference in their lives.” – CL “97 per cent of Ontarians want to age in their home, they want to age gracefully in their home, they want to even die in their home… I think the future vision of home and community care is there.” – CL “I think also a future of home and community care is really embedding us a little more closely with primary care.” – CL   Mentioned in this Episode: Circle of Care Circle of Care Adult Day Program Sinai Health Charity Village Excellence Canada, Gold Award CAMH: The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Jane Philpott Mark Chignell Dr. Sandra McKay The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder   Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Spiritual shipwreck doesn't start with a storm—it starts with a drift. In this episode, we explore the subtle but dangerous reality of leadership drift—how small compromises can slowly erode a leader's integrity, influence, and relationship with God. Using the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11, we trace the path from comfort to compromise, from compromise to cover-up, and ultimately, to collapse. David didn't fall all at once. It began when he stayed behind—when kings went off to war. That one small decision started a series of spiritual missteps that cost him dearly. We'll explore what leadership drift looks like today: The executive who fudges numbers “just this once” The pastor who avoids preaching truth to stay popular The believer who replaces time with God for endless deadlines These don't feel like shipwrecks. But they set our course away from God's direction—and toward spiritual ruin. Through biblical wisdom and real-world application, you'll learn: Why drift is more dangerous than failure How to recognize early signs of compromise Five practical anchors to keep you grounded in faith and integrity Paul's challenge to Timothy still holds weight today: “Hold on to faith and a good conscience” (1 Timothy 1:18–19). This episode will help you do just that. Stay anchored. Avoid the drift. Finish well.

In 1610, Spanish pilot Juan Bernardo de Fuentidueñas survived a wreck near Macao — but what he discovered next would shake centuries of historical assumptions.On a remote reef, he encountered three indigenous survivors. His chronicle described them not as Japanese, Ryukyuan, or Chinese... but as Lequian Indians.For over 400 years, historians have believed Lequios = Ryukyu. But what if we've been wrong?Drawing from firsthand accounts preserved in The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898 (Blair & Robertson, Vol. XVI), this documentary uncovers stunning new evidence that Lequios was not in Japan — but right here in Northern Luzon, Philippines.

In this episode of The Shipwreck Show, Shipwreck is joined by special guest Abbey Blue Eyes for a grounded conversation about government overreach, spiritual resilience, and reclaiming personal and national sovereignty. They reflect on the emotional and psychological toll of speaking truth in a society bent on censorship, and how gaslighting from media and government institutions has become a tool for mass demoralization. The discussion highlights the importance of local action, parallel systems, and encouraging others to stand firm, especially when the cost of compliance keeps rising. Abbey shares personal insights about the cultural decay infecting public institutions, from education to medicine, and the spiritual battle that underpins today's political chaos. Together, they explore how faith, family, and courage are essential to pushing back against a system that thrives on apathy. With moments of humor, honesty, and hope, this episode delivers a powerful reminder that reclaiming sovereignty begins with standing up and refusing to bend to a broken system, no matter how small the stand may seem.

The Morro Castle shipwreck of 1934 was a tragic maritime disaster involving a luxury passenger liner operated by the Ward Line. On September 8, 1934, while en route from Havana to New York, the ship caught fire off the coast of New Jersey near Asbury Park, resulting in the deaths of 137 passengers and crew. The fire, which was later suspected to be an act of arson, spread rapidly due to strong winds and flammable materials onboard, forcing many to jump into rough seas. The burning vessel eventually ran aground on the beach, becoming a chilling symbol of maritime safety failures. The disaster led to sweeping changes in U.S. maritime safety regulations.

The cang catch-up on a bunch of TV and movies, discuss AI game creation, and ponder how Xbox can be a failure, yet Game Pass is ruining the industry. What kind of God would allow that?

In this unfiltered episode, Shipwreck lets loose on everything from the Epstein files debacle to the explosion of EBT “haul” videos flaunting taxpayer-funded shopping sprees. She opens with raw frustration over Trump's dismissive response to Epstein questions and Pam Bondi's contradictory statements about evidence and sealed records, challenging listeners to stop gaslighting themselves about obvious corruption. Shifting gears, Shipwreck launches a blistering takedown of social media influencers proudly showing off carts loaded with junk food, luxury groceries, and birthday cakes bought with benefits while claiming to be struggling. She calls out the entitlement culture that normalizes dependence as virtue and proposes a “peer review board” where applicants would justify their aid to taxpayers directly. Ranting against corporate profiteering, like Amazon and Costco raking in billions from EBT purchases, she underscores how the middle class is quietly funding a system that incentivizes generational welfare. With humor, expletives, and a dose of Midwestern tough love, she insists it's possible to support safety nets without enabling abuse. This fiery episode is part catharsis, part call to accountability, and an unapologetic defense of common sense.

In 2025, a team of eight students, scientists, and engineers from the University of Rhode Island conducted the first survey of known shipwrecks in the Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. Using URI's new, state-of-the-art remotely operated vehicle, named “Rhody”, the student-led team documented 17 shipwrecks. Having embarked from Oswego, New York, aboard the research vessel Lake Guardian, which is owned and operated by the Environmental Protection Agency, the team discovered several new shipwrecks while mapping the lakebed. Jason Fahy and Holly Pettus from the University of Rhode Island are my guests.

We discuss the refugee influx to East Florida and the Shipwrecks involving loyalists fleeing to St Augustine in the 1782-83 time period.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Shipwreck unpacks the chaos surrounding Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, sharing skepticism over its AI provisions and the endless culture war it fuels. She dives into viral claims that migrants are being dumped into the ocean from cargo planes, a conspiracy she methodically dismantles while pointing out the absurdity of the rumor mill. From the real story behind “Alligator Alcatraz,” Florida's new migrant facility, to Kristi Noem's claim that a deportee started eating himself mid-flight, the episode is equal parts darkly hilarious and unsettling. Shipwreck also tackles the meltdown over Nancy Mace livestreaming in her pajamas, her personal burnout with performative compassion, and why defending bad behavior “on your own side” only feeds the cult mentality. Ranting about DUIs, predators using trans activism as cover, and the collapse of basic decency online, she ends by reflecting on whether humanity is even worth saving. With tangents about Kathy Griffin looking like Pennywise, the sewage pouring across the southern border, and the illusion of positive social media, this is Shipwreck at her raw, unscripted best.
