This week on The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we're stepping into Galadriel and Celeborn's life together during the Second Age. Join us as we navigate Tolkien's famously complicated notes, explore the founding of new Elven realms, uncover surprising connections with the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, and revisit the mysterious origins of Celebrimbor. Along the way, we'll follow Galadriel as she begins to sense a growing shadow in the East—long before anyone realizes who is behind it. Expect lore, contradictions, maps, friendships, and plenty of Tolkien chaos as we unravel one of the most fascinating sections of Unfinished Tales.Listen here:https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

Episode 12 of Sal and Mark. Mark is back from Costa Rica and jumping straight into one of the most important conversations in crypto. Denny (@patriotsounds) from RuneBond.com joins Sal and Mark to break down THORChain, the permissionless, fully decentralized cross chain swap protocol that no government can touch. They cover how it works, what bond providers and node operators actually do, why Monero is coming to ThorChain soon and why that is a game changer, and how anyone can start using it today without ever touching the Rune token. Jeff from RanchoDelicioso.com and Anamaya.com drops in to talk about two distinct but related projects in Costa Rica. RanchoDelicioso is a voluntary, rule free eco village where like minded people can buy lots and build their own homes, with around thirty residents already living there. Anamaya is his National Geographic award winning longevity and wellness retreat nearby, offering week long immersive stays with yoga, healthy food, and stunning ocean views. Jeff talks about what makes both work and why finding the right people is the key to everything. Sal also breaks down home based agorism and how turning your hobbies into crypto side hustles is one of the lowest risk and most effective ways to participate in the counter economy today. The show rounds out with the Firo Spark segment covering Spark names, Rosenbridge, the Firo Community Fund, and why Firo's price still has not caught up with the technology.

Mark Edge catches up with Kate Baker Demers, a longtime friend and one of the driving forces behind school choice in New Hampshire. Kate started the Children's Scholarship Fund of New Hampshire in 2013 after watching families show up desperate for options and leaving with nothing. What started as helping a few hundred kids has grown to over 10,600 students across the state. They talk about how the Education Freedom Account program was born out of the pandemic, what it means for families who could never afford private school, and where education in America is headed.

Send us Fan MailWe tend to think of menopause as a personal health issue - but in the workplace it quietly shows up as one of the largest unmodeled productivity shifts in the modern economy.Recent data from the Korn Ferry Institute, in collaboration with Vira Health, suggests nearly half of women report that perimenopause or menopause symptoms impact their work performance. And research cited by the Mayo Clinic estimates menopause-related productivity loss in the U.S. alone at roughly $1.8 billion annually.So the question becomes: what happens when a normal biological transition starts to meaningfully affect workforce participation, retention, and productivity?Karen Bishop, MS is Senior Director of HR Rewards at Astellas Pharma US ( https://www.astellas.com/en ), where she leads global benefits, compensation strategy, and employee well-being programs.Across more than two decades in HR leadership roles at organizations including MilliporeSigma, Shire (now Takeda), Cabot Corporation, and Putnam Investments, Karen has built deep expertise in total rewards strategy, healthcare benefits design, retirement systems, and organizational change.At Astellas, Karen has helped evolve an internal menopause workplace pledge into a broader global initiative focused on manager education, employee support systems, and benefits navigation - positioning menopause as part of a larger conversation around workforce health, retention, and productivity.#menopause #workplacewellbeing #hrleadership #futureofwork #corporatestrategy #workforceanalytics #womenshealth #hrtech #talentmanagement #employeeexperience #healthcareeconomics #productivity #leadershipdevelopment #totalrewards #organizationaldesign #publichealth #biologicalaging #genderequity #workplaceculture #healthpolicySupport the show

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1. Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash.] Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Worlds Collide by Clint Hall Above the Circle of Earth (softcover) by E. Stephen Burnett Iffy Eats Monsters for Breakfast by Bryan Timothy Mitchell Lorehaven Guild: July 2026 book quest for The Silver Chair Mission update New at Lorehaven: review of All That Glows Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

As we evolve out of outdated systems of ownership and control, we must operate with what is to generate what is to come. So how do we move while we live under the weight of a system that doesn't serve us?We Create, as Creation causes manifestation of highest potential.

Mark Edge was on the ground at the 2026 Libertarian National Convention and sat down with some familiar faces. Jim Babka, the most frequent guest in Free Talk Live history, stops by to talk about the Parody Project, a new initiative bringing back Perry Willis, the man behind the legendary Project Archimedes growth strategy from the Harry Brown era. Jim and Perry Willis co-authored a plan they believe could lead to a libertarian America within ten years, and the numbers may surprise you. Mark also weighs in on why libertarians are a bigger force than winner-take-all elections let on, and why membership in the Libertarian Party costs you nothing but could mean everything.

The Sal and Mark Show is back with a packed episode and Wayne is back to join us. First up, Vic from CakeWallet joins to announce the launch of Radar Chat — a privacy focused Bitcoin Lightning messaging app built on Signal that lets you send payments seamlessly while you chat. A game changer for everyday crypto adoption. Mark and his wife Laura then break down the renting versus homeownership debate through a libertarian lens — questioning whether you truly own your property when property taxes never stop climbing and the municipality always has the final say. Sal and Wayne also dive deep into the growing anti-Flock camera movement, with communities across the country pushing back against warrantless license plate surveillance. Plus the latest from Firo, thoughts on homeschooling, crypto in Europe, the Ian Freeman case FreeIanNow.org and much more.

Mark is joined by his wife Laura for a special conversation sparked by his recent interview with Lauren Noone (go check that one out) on what freedom really means, and how choice sits at the center of it. Here's the question that started it: if you have to pay property tax, do you really own your property, or are you just a serf paying quit rents to a modern lord? They land on this: homeownership might just be a really long lease. Is taxation theft? Depends on whether you had somewhere freer to go. Not an argument that owning a house is bad. Just another way to look at it. Sponsored by SALT Lending. Need cash without selling your Bitcoin or any other coins? Email SALT@MarkEdge.org #MarkEdge #MarkEdgeShow #MarkEdgington #LiveFreer

Miranda Webb, featured in HBO's documentary series The Anarchists, joins Mark Edge to set the record straight on what the show got right, what it left out, and what it was actually like to live through it. She speaks candidly about the abusive relationship with her late partner, the circumstances surrounding his death in Acapulco, and why she believes the series softened a far darker reality. Miranda also opens up about the practical realities of living as a fugitive in Mexico for the past six years, from the impossibility of opening a bank account to the constant risk of immigration checkpoints, and why she has chosen to stay rather than turn herself in to face charges in Ohio. The conversation covers the difficulty of finding legal representation, the cost of justice in the American system, and her plans to eventually pursue Mexican citizenship. The episode closes on a lighter note as Miranda discusses her new role as director of operations for Anarchapulco, how the event has evolved from its chaotic early years into a more family oriented and growth focused gathering, and what is coming next with Liberpulco, the Gratitude Gathering, and Anarchapulco 2027 in Puerto Vallarta.

This week we're diving into one of Tolkien's biggest Galadriel mysteries: Who was Celeborn, and how did these two legendary Elves actually meet? As usual, the answer isn't exactly straightforward. We'll start with a quick timeline refresher before following Galadriel across Middle-earth, comparing Tolkien's ever-changing ideas, untangling conflicting accounts, and trying to make sense of one of the most fascinating puzzles in the legendarium. If you've ever wondered why Galadriel and Celeborn's story is so difficult to pin down, grab your maps and come along for the journey!https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

Sal and Wayne Quinn are holding it down this week while Mark is on the road. Kurt Walker Jr., the world's first Bitcoin historian, joins the show to trace the full arc of crypto from David Chaum's eCash in the nineties all the way through the block size wars, the Silk Road takedown, and the deliberate hijacking of Bitcoin by banking interests tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Blockstream, and the Bilderberg group. If you think you know the history of Bitcoin, this conversation will change that. Sal and Wayne also break down decentralized identity, what it is, why it matters, and why a working version could be less than two years away. The conversation covers how blockchain based identity could replace government issued IDs, eliminate impersonation scams, and give individuals genuine control over what information they share and with whom. Mark's interview with Jay Noone of JayNoone.com rounds out the episode, covering life on a New Hampshire homestead, Man Camp, EMP proof vehicles, and why building a community of useful, valuable, and competent people is the real path to freedom.

Dan from Pirate Chain joins the show to break down what makes Pirate Chain the most private cryptocurrency by any objective measure, what is coming with the new Unified Light Wallet, and why the project avoided the Zcash Orchard vulnerability entirely. Firo project steward Ruben Yap also weighs in with a detailed and honest breakdown of what actually happened with the Zcash exploit and what it means for the future of privacy protocol design. Sal and Mark also get into Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, why the left fundamentally misunderstands wealth, and the economics of hoarding money in a way that will make your head spin. Then the show pivots to a genuinely alarming development: the UK's sweeping social media ban requiring facial recognition, banking data, or ID to access platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Sal and Mark break down why this has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with building a digital ID infrastructure for mass surveillance, and what tools you can use right now to fight back.

Jay Noone has built something most people only talk about: a real community of like minded families on a working farm in New Hampshire, where kids learn blacksmithing, animal butchering, diesel mechanics, and how to carry themselves as competent, self reliant people. Mark Edge caught up with Jay to talk about what it actually looks like to live free, from the nuts and bolts of homesteading to the deeper philosophy behind raising the next generation of useful, valuable, and competent people. They get into why New Hampshire's oversized legislature makes it nearly impossible to buy politicians, why useful, valuable, and competent people don't need government, and what vehicles you want when the grid goes down. Jay also breaks down Mancamp, his homeschool co-op which is also happening the week of PorcFest, where families come together to learn real world skills on the farm.

Mark is in Costa Rica, so Sal Mayweather and Free Talk Live veteran Wayne Quinn hold it down for a packed episode covering everything from the Zcash exploit to the future of financial privacy. Vic, CEO of CakeWallet, joins the show to break down the recent attacks on Zcash and ThorChain, why AI finding crypto exploits is actually a good thing, and what the Clarity Act could mean for self custody and open source development. He also gives a first look at Cupcake, CakeWallet's air gapped signing device that turns your old phone into a hardware wallet, and teases a brand new secret project dropping July 7th. Mark's interview with Andrew Heaton, author of Tribalism Is Dumb, rounds out the episode with a sharp and genuinely funny breakdown of why humans are wired for tribalism, how social media made it worse, and why AI might actually help dial it back. Sal also runs the Agorist segment, covering how to use privacy coins like Monero, Firo, Pirate Chain, and Zano for gray market trades and how to build real operational security in a world that is watching everything.

This week we begin one of the most fascinating—and challenging—sections in Unfinished Tales: The History of Galadriel and Celeborn. Christopher Tolkien takes us through the many different versions of Galadriel's story, exploring how his father's ideas about her changed over time. Along the way, we'll revisit the early history of the Elves, the rebellion of the Noldor, and the events that led Galadriel to leave Valinor for Middle-earth. Why did she go? Why didn't she return? As it turns out, the answer depends on which version of the story you're reading! Join us as we dive into the complicated, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating history of one of Tolkien's greatest characters.Want more Sisters of the Shire?https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

Could a Nonprofit Prison Actually Fix Corrections in America? Brian Koehn spent 28 years as a warden in private corrections, running five facilities and overseeing security at 65 more. Now he's building Social Purpose Corrections, a nonprofit prison model that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, designed to fix the incentives that keep the system broken. Mark Edge talks with Brian about why correctional officer turnover is the root cause behind almost every failure in American prisons, why "hard on crime" wins elections but makes outcomes worse, and why the real recidivism numbers are nowhere close to what most states report. They also get into the case for "smart on crime" over "hard on crime," and why Brian, having actually run the system, sees a distinction that matters more than most politicians want to admit.

Mark Edge reconnects with Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, a new proof-of-work blockchain that promises to solve the impossible triangle of scalability, decentralization, and privacy all at once. Carter breaks down how Psy uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions privately at internet scale, hitting 500,000 transactions per second on testnet before even launching publicly. They also explore how Psy allows users to prove compliance without revealing their identity, giving people privacy without compromise. Still in private beta, but a public launch is coming soon.

Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be surrounded by people who share your values, this one's for you. Contact Dennis at @DennisPrattFree on X or join the Libertarian Homeland group on X.

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

In this episode of Ave Explores: Catholicism in Literature, Katie sits down with Kaitlyn Facista and Andrew Swafford to discuss the enduring legacy of two of Christianity's greatest storytellers, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Facista, author of _Into the Heart of Middle-earth and founder of Tea with Tolkien, shares how Tolkien's works played a significant role in her conversion to Catholicism. Drawn into Middle-earth by its unforgettable heroes and villains, she discovered profound lessons about virtue, vice, courage, and sacrifice. In a culture hungry for authentic examples of goodness and bravery, Tolkien's stories continue to awaken the heart and point readers toward truth. Swafford reflects on encountering Tolkien later in life while reading The Lord of the Rings with his children. Those family readings sparked rich conversations, nurtured their spiritual imaginations, and created opportunities for catechesis. He also discusses introducing students at Benedictine College to Lewis's Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce, marveling at Lewis's ability to reach students of every background and faith. Through imagination and story, Lewis demonstrates how art and literature can communicate truths that might otherwise remain hidden. Journey through the wardrobe and wander into the Shire for an inspiring conversation about faith, imagination, and the transformative power of great stories.

Mark Edge speaks with Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project, at the Libertarian National Convention about why concentrating libertarians in one state is producing real, measurable wins — while national third-party politics keeps spinning its wheels. They cover the culture of accomplishment over endless philosophical debates, New Hampshire's unique citizen legislature, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's scorecard system, and why the Free State may be libertarianism's best shot at lasting change.
