In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's order sending 10,000 more troops and a third carrier strike group to the Middle East, positioning for an apparent renewal of the war with Iran after the midterms. Bryan covers the arrest of an Iranian-British dual national tied to the thwarted UK terror plot near a US airbase, a botched Tennessee execution that left convicted killer Christa Pike alive and hospitalized, and violent Leftist and Muslim riots sweeping Paris suburbs ahead of France's presidential election. Plus, Bryan covers backlash over Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' welfare ad targeting a white man, a 75 year old white woman's surprising bid to become mayor of Johannesburg, and new research linking GLP-1 weight loss drugs to fingernails falling off.

So, where are you from? Where do you claim citizenship? Wherever your citizenship is, is where you belong. You may travel other places, but home is always where your citizenship is. Think about how where you are from has made a radical difference in your life. How different you would be if you were from somewhere else. You would talk different. You would have totally different customs. Your view on the world would likely be different. What you know is what you know, and to you it’s what is normal. Some cultures eat with their hands. Other cultures would consider you downright barbaric if you dug into your bowl without a spoon or fork. Some cultures kiss when they meet – for others that’s just weird. In some cultures you take off your shoes before you enter someone’s home – but not everyone was taught that. We’re not being rude, we’re just different. Our culture shapes what feels normal. With that perspective, think about what Paul says in Philippians 3:20, “But we are citizens of heaven.” As a follower of Jesus, you’ve been set apart and your citizenship has changed. You’re not from here. You actually don’t even belong here. Your culture has changed and what used to be normal is no longer normal to you. God has been doing a work in you, changing your identity and reassigning your citizenship. You’re now a member of the Kingdom of Heaven. You know what that means – that means everything is changing for you. You’re undergoing a radical shift. It’s why you just can’t do the things you used to do and feel the way you once did. It’s why you now desire such different things. Sis, you’re not from here! You belong to a different culture. Yesterday I met a woman with a beautiful accent. I knew she was from somewhere very different than me. I asked and she said South Africa. Oh, everything she said just sounded so incredibly fancy to me. I really just wanted to have tea with her. And really, as citizens of HEAVEN, that’s the way it should be with us. We should sound different when we talk to people who don’t yet have their citizenship in Heaven. We should be attractive, intriguing, inviting, irresistible. Girls, we are here representing Heaven – make everyone want to come visit! And once they visit, they will want to stay! The girls from the Kingdom of God do things differently than the rest of the world. Instead of looking out for ourselves, we’re out here loving the heck out of our neighbors. We’re refusing offense, resisting bitterness, and continually choosing forgiveness. We’re stepping down from pedestals, canceling the performance, and learning to embrace humility. Our priorities have shifted from, “What can I get?” to, “What can I give?” Kingdom girls walk in victory through surrender. Now, what a radically uncommon concept that is! In every other kingdom, surrender means defeat. If you wave that white flag, you’re giving up. You’ve lost. But in the Kingdom of God, surrender is not losing—it’s winning. Surrender is the highest act of trust. It’s laying down your need to control, your need to be right, your need to be seen, your need to win, and saying, “Jesus, I trust You more than I trust myself.” Paul tells us in verse 19 about the world culture. “Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth.” Welp, can’t you see how that was you? I was that person – weren’t you too? What I wanted was all I craved. I made my desires my god, my goal, my focus. That’s natural in the world. Every marketing strategy tells you get what you want, and what you want is what they have to sell you. Wake up, Sis – we have to remember we are different! We don’t belong here so we can’t fall into that culture. We belong to Heaven and in the Kingdom of Heaven our King is our God. Paul says when we are in the world’s culture, we brag about shameful things. Do you want to really see that? Ask God to open your eyes to see what that looks like. Then, scroll through your facebook memories and look at your posts from past years. I make my own self wanna gag! The things I used to brag about are shameful. The photos I used to post just hoping someone would see me. I’m embarrassed for myself. It didn’t used to bother me at all, but my citizenship has changed. How about yours? When you finally know where you really belong, there’s a shift because you realize you no longer have to prove your worth. You’re a citizen of Heaven! World culture thinks primarily about this life—what’s happening here, what’s happening now, what we can have, accomplish, experience, and enjoy in this moment. But Kingdom girls remember that this life is only a tiny fraction of our existence, with eternity stretching out before us. So where are your thoughts? Are they consumed with what is happening here, or anchored in what is coming there? Are you making decisions based only on what feels good right now, or are you considering what matters forever? Because when you know you’re a citizen of heaven, eternity changes the way you live today. Suddenly, what looked so important yesterday may not seem nearly as important anymore. The applause fades. The possessions lose their grip. The need to prove yourself starts to loosen. And the things that last forever begin to matter a whole lot more. Girl, don’t let a temporary world distract you from an eternal Kingdom. You belong somewhere bigger than here. Your circumstances are temporary. Your citizenship is eternal. You are here to represent the place you belong to. So if heaven is your home, your life should increasingly look like the King you belong to. You belong where Jesus is, so his way becomes your way. Jesus says to pray like this, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Have you ever thought about what that means as an action plan for you? You’re walking out God’s kingdom here on earth. You’re bringing the culture of heaven into this world where God has temporarily placed you. You’re living here, but you belong there. You have an earthly address, but a heavenly identity. You participate in this world, but you don’t have to be shaped by this world. You represent another Kingdom. And everywhere you go, you get to give people a little glimpse of what your home is like.

They've told us that ethnic cleansing against whites in South Africa isn't happening. They say it's a racist conspiracy theory. Leon Lotz knows they're lying. He's a South African farmer. His story will shock and sicken you. Leon Lotz is a South African farmer and former military serviceman whose family survived a series of brutal farm attacks. In 2010, eight armed attackers invaded his in-laws' farm, murdering his father-in-law, severely assaulting his mother-in-law, and raping his wife, Adel, in front of their children.

This may be one of my favorite conversations of the year. On this episode of Eastmans Predator Pros, I sat down with Stephan Smith of Chasing Africa's Sunset Outfitters in South Africa—and from the minute we started talking, I knew this was going to be a good one. Stephan takes us halfway around the world and into the African bush as we talk about hunting some of Africa's most incredible and dangerous game, including Cape buffalo and leopard. We get into the preparation, the intensity, the respect these animals demand, and some incredible stories Stephan has picked up along the way. But you know me—we couldn't talk about Africa without getting deep into the predators. We spent a lot of time talking about calling black-backed jackals and caracals, and I was fascinated by just how similar the black-backed jackal is to the coyotes we hunt here in the United States. From their intelligence and adaptability to the way they respond to calling, pressure, sounds and setups, there are some incredible similarities in the tactics used—even though we're hunting predators nearly 10,000 miles apart. Stephan was an absolute blast to talk with. He's knowledgeable, easygoing, full of great stories, and we shared plenty of laughs along the way. Dangerous game. African predators. Calling tactics. Great hunting stories. And a look at predator hunting from the other side of the world. This is exactly the kind of conversation I love having on Predator Pros. If Africa has ever been on your bucket list—or you simply love calling predators—you're going to want to hear this one. Enjoy this one, guys. I know I did.

Recorded on location at the Martini Expo in Chicago.Why This Episode MattersColin Asare-Appiah takes The Guys inside Ajabu, the cocktail and spirits festival connecting bartenders across Africa and the wider cocktail world, and discusses Black Mixcellence and the Black voices too often missing from cocktail history.François Monti explains why vermouth deserves far more respect than the neglected bottle at the back of the bar and how Madrid's cocktail culture changed the way he thought about both vermouth and the martini.Ryan Maybee traces the unlikely revival of J. Rieger & Co., from a pre-Prohibition Kansas City whiskey brand to a modern distillery and hospitality destination, and explains why their American gin deliberately looks to classic London dry tradition.The ConversationColin Asare-Appiah talks about co-founding Ajabu, created to spotlight the ingredients, bartenders and rapidly developing cocktail cultures across the African continent. The conversation turns to his book Black Mixcellence, the importance of recovering Black contributions to cocktail history, the enduring legacy of Tom Bullock and the Pornstar Martini created by his late friend Douglas Ankrah. Colin also explains why he sees the martini as a timeless drink—and why his choice between gin and vodka depends on what's on the table.Belgian-born, Madrid-based writer François Monti joins The Guys for a deep dive into vermouth. He explains Spain's culture of drinking vermouth on its own, his journey from Belgian beer to cocktails, and Madrid's long history of serious cocktail bars. The conversation eventually becomes unexpectedly personal when Mark explains why he disliked his early martinis: old vermouth or virtually no vermouth at all, and the fresh bottle that finally convinced him that vermouth could be delicious.Ryan Maybee tells the story of discovering the forgotten J. Rieger & Co. whiskey brand while researching the history of a Kansas City hotel and ultimately helping bring it back to life. He recalls the visit to Milk & Honey that changed his career, describes the easygoing Midwestern hospitality he brought to Manifesto, and explains the historical use of sherry in Kansas City whiskey. The Guys taste Rieger Gin before Ryan discusses the freedom of American gin, why his own version deliberately embraces London dry tradition, and the classic martini experience that showed him just how much presentation matters.Guest BiosColin Asare-Appiah is a Ghana-born, London-raised bartender, drinks industry veteran and co-founder of the Ajabu Cocktail and Spirits Festival in South Africa. He is co-author of Black Mixcellence: A Comprehensive Guide to Black Mixology.François Monti is a Belgian-born spirits and cocktail writer based in Madrid. His work has appeared in publications including Punch, and he is the author of 101 Cocktails to Try Before You Die.Ryan Maybee is a bartender, restaurateur and co-founder of J. Rieger & Co. in Kansas City.

How Girls Achieve points out a simple and overlooked truth: most schools never had girls in mind to begin with. That is why the world needs what Dr. Sally Nuamah calls “feminist schools,” deliberately designed to provide girls with achievement-oriented identities. And she shows how these schools would help all students, regardless of their gender.Educated women raise healthier families, build stronger communities, and generate economic opportunities for themselves and their children. Yet millions of disadvantaged girls never make it to school—and too many others drop out or fail. Upending decades of advice and billions of dollars in aid, Dr, Nuamah argues that this happens because so many challenges girls confront—from sexual abuse to unequal access to materials and opportunities—go unaddressed. But it isn't enough just to go to school. What you learn there has to prepare you for the world where you'll put that knowledge to work.Dr. Nuamah reveals that developing resilience is not a gender-neutral undertaking. Preaching grit doesn't help girls; it actively harms them. Drawing on her deep immersion in classrooms in the United States, Ghana, and South Africa, Nuamah calls for a new approach: creating feminist schools that will actively teach girls how and when to challenge society's norms, and allow them to carve out their own paths to success.Guest: Dr. Sally A. Nuamah is an associate professor of Urban Politics in Human Development, Social Policy and Political Science (by courtesy) at Northwestern University. She has received numerous awards; began the TWII Foundation to provide funding for girls striving to be first in their families to go to college; and was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University and a Women and Public Policy fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.Host is: Dr. Christina Gessler is the producer of the both Academic Life podcast and the show's weekly newsletter.

What does it take to protect Africa's natural heritage across highly fragmented landscapes? In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, Anish Banerjee is joined by Yolan Friedmann, CEO of the Endangered Wildlife Trust, for an in-depth conversation about the conservation of lions, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. Yolan explores the ecological importance of large carnivores, which influence ecological processes and habitat structure by affecting prey populations. Conserving these endangered species therefore helps preserve these trophic cascades and supports broader biodiversity conservation. For Yolan, these species are part of Africa's natural heritage because they belong to its living ecosystems and hold enduring meaning for the people who share those landscapes. Protecting them therefore involves more than preventing extinction within individual reserves. Large carnivore conservation also depends on maintaining the ecological processes that allow populations to persist: dispersal, the establishment of new territories, breeding and genetic exchange.Yolan explains how habitat fragmentation, fences and expanding human land use restrict those processes. A population may increase inside a protected area while remaining dependent on intervention if its offspring cannot disperse. In South Africa, the Endangered Wildlife Trust responds by carefully selecting and moving cheetahs and African wild dogs between suitable reserves. We discuss how this approach relates to metapopulation conservation, and why Yolan describes it more precisely as managing populations across disconnected reserves.Human–carnivore conflict is another central theme of this discussion. Livestock losses can have severe consequences for households, while game farmers may also view predators as a threat to wildlife-based livelihoods. Yolan discusses using animal tracking and targeted alerts to anticipate conflict, alongside the relationships EWT staff build with farmers and local communities. We consider the distinct needs of cheetahs, the social organization and extensive range requirements of African wild dogs, and the opportunities and setbacks in expanding wild dog ranges.We also examine the particular challenges facing cheetahs and African wild dogs: habitat requirements, genetic management, the social structure of wild canids and the extensive space needed for wild dog packs to disperse. Yolan reflects on the achievements and setbacks of range expansion in South Africa before returning to the episode's central question: how can endangered wildlife conservation keep Africa's natural heritage ecologically functional and meaningful for future generations?Time Stamps00:00 Introduction02:14 Evolving Approaches to Endangered Species Conservation 03:23 Threats to Africa's Natural Heritage05:19 The Role of Large Carnivores and Trophic Cascade07:32 Growing Challenges of Human-Carnivore Conflict09:22 Using Technology to Prevent Conflict 10:54 Building Trust with farmers and communities12:53 The Challenges of Cheetah Conservation: Habitat and Genetic Diversity14:11 Managed Population Approach to Cheetah Conservation15:48 African Wild Dog Ecology and Perceptions18:29 Restoring Wild Dog Populations in South Africa20:42 Why Wildlife Is Part of Africa's Natural Heritage22:08 Supporting the Endangered Wildlife Trust23:30 Reflections #NaturalHeritage #LargeCarnivoreConservation #BiodiversityConservation #TrophicCascades #MetapopulationConservation #LionConservation #Cheetahs #AfricanWildDog #WildCanids #EndangeredSpecies #EndangeredWildlife #EndangeredWildlifeConservation #EndangeredSpeciesConservation #CheetahConservation Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

"I have never been able to get rid of the thought that [the 22nd September event] was some sort of joint operation between Israel and South Africa."At 00:53 Coordinated Universal Time on September 22nd, 1979, an aging American satellite called Vela 6911 recorded a double flash of light somewhere over the southern Indian Ocean. That same night, President Jimmy Carter wrote in his diary that there was an indication of a nuclear explosion near South Africa, and that it was either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing.The two leading suspects had every reason to be suspects. South Africa had been caught preparing a nuclear test in the Kalahari Desert two years earlier. Israel had an undeclared arsenal, a long-standing policy of never confirming it, and a secret military relationship with South Africa that, according to South African documents published decades later, had included discussion of nuclear-capable missiles. Yet the search for evidence was coming up empty...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

LIVE from ILADS: Tick Boot Camp sits down with Mindy Tobin Daigle, MSN, APRN-BC, a nurse practitioner whose approach to Lyme disease and complex chronic illness was profoundly shaped by her own experience as a patient. Before treating people with Lyme disease, Mindy lived it. After years of misdiagnosis, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2010 following earlier tick exposures. Her illness became multisystemic and severe, affecting her heart, brain, joints, gastrointestinal system, bladder, skin, muscles, and more. At her sickest, she describes being bed-bound, wheelchair-bound, experiencing seizures and aphasia, and dependent on others for basic care. That experience gave her a mission: become the healthcare provider she needed when she was sick and searching for answers. This conversation goes far beyond Lyme disease treatment. Mindy and Tick Boot Camp explore medical gaslighting, listening to patients, compassion versus empathy, realistic expectations for chronic illness recovery, the importance of self-compassion, finding your physical and emotional "edges," and why progress is often measured in inches rather than feet. This interview was recorded live at the ILADS conference, so you may hear some of the energy and background activity of the event throughout the conversation. A Nurse Practitioner Who Became the Patient Mindy was already a trained medical professional when she became seriously ill. Her first reported tick bite occurred in South Africa in 1997, followed by additional exposures while she was working as a nurse in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Despite her medical training and access to healthcare, Lyme disease wasn't initially identified as the explanation for her growing collection of symptoms. Mindy describes repeatedly mentioning her history of tick bites only to have the possibility dismissed. Eventually, during a severe pain crisis, physician Dr. Ted Gillespie spent significant time listening to her history and asked a simple question: What about Lyme disease? Testing through Labcorp produced a positive Western blot, but Mindy says that even with that result, she continued encountering resistance to the diagnosis. Eventually, she found her way to Dr. Patricia Salvato in Houston and began treatment. Becoming the Practitioner She Needed Mindy made herself a promise during her illness: If she recovered, she would become the practitioner she had needed when she was lost and sick. That commitment eventually brought her to ILADS. At her first ILADS conference in 2013, Mindy heard the late Dr. Christine Green speak. The following week, she cold-called Dr. Green's office in San Francisco and asked if she could shadow her. That decision turned into a professional relationship lasting more than a decade. Mindy says her personal development as a Lyme patient became inseparable from her professional development as a clinician. From Sympathy to Empathy to Compassion One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is the evolution from sympathy to empathy to compassion. Mindy describes having sympathy as a young nurse and developing greater empathy with experience. After becoming seriously ill herself, she says she developed something deeper: compassion. Her definition of compassion centers on being willing to sit with another person's pain without judgment, interference, or adding to their suffering. For a Lyme patient who has spent years being dismissed, questioned, rushed, or told symptoms are unexplained, simply encountering a practitioner who genuinely listens can be meaningful. What Compassionate Lyme Care Looks Like Compassion isn't simply being nice to patients. For Mindy, it changes how she practices. When a patient arrives overwhelmed, crying, angry, frustrated, struggling with technology, or simply exhausted from managing chronic illness, her first goal isn't to rush through a checklist. She meets the patient where they are. She tells patients: We're not in a rush. The goal is to take the time needed to understand the person in front of her and determine what needs attention. That approach can be particularly important for patients with complex chronic illnesses who may arrive at an appointment carrying years of symptoms, medical records, failed treatments, fear, and frustration. Medical Gaslighting & the Importance of Listening Mindy also discusses the medical dismissal she experienced during her own illness and what patients often describe as medical gaslighting. The conversation explores why healthcare professionals may dismiss patient experiences even when a patient presents with a complicated history or evidence that warrants further investigation. Mindy emphasizes something deceptively simple: Remain curious. A practitioner doesn't have to immediately know every answer. But when something doesn't make sense, curiosity can keep the diagnostic process moving instead of shutting the patient down. For Mindy, listening and believing that a patient is genuinely experiencing what they describe are foundational to the therapeutic relationship. The Last Five Minutes Mindy has developed a practice she calls The Last 5 Minutes: 8 Concepts and Contemplations in Healing. After spending most of an appointment discussing symptoms, medical decision-making, treatment, and care planning, she reserves the final minutes for something different: Healing. It's a moment to put the metaphorical pencils down and talk heart-to-heart about what the patient is experiencing beyond laboratory results and treatment protocols. Her eight concepts and contemplations include: Keyhole Sunset Progress is made in inches, not feet Awareness, Acceptance, Compassion Pain is Information This is your Hero's Journey Healing is possible, with or without a cure Find a micron of joy and build on it Do what you need to do, rest when you need to rest, force nothing Mindy's original essay on the eight concepts offers a deeper exploration of the philosophy she discusses during this interview. Progress Is Made in Inches, Not Feet People with chronic Lyme disease are understandably in a hurry. They want their health back. They want their careers, relationships, independence, energy, and lives back. But recovery doesn't always move at the speed a patient wants. Mindy prepares patients for the possibility of a long process in which progress isn't perfectly linear. There can be improvements followed by setbacks. Instead of interpreting every setback as failure, she encourages patients to recognize that regression can sometimes occur within a larger pattern of progression. Mindy expands on this philosophy in Progress Comes in Inches, Not Feet. Self-Compassion During Lyme Recovery Chronic illness can create a destructive cycle of self-blame. Patients may think: Why aren't I better yet? Did I do something wrong? Why can't my body handle this? Why can't I do what I used to do? Mindy explains that even an excellent medical treatment plan doesn't automatically resolve the patient's relationship with themselves. Healing may also require learning to stop being at war with your own body. That doesn't mean giving up on improvement. It means learning how to pursue improvement without constantly punishing yourself for where you are today. Her writing on self-compassion and healing explores this balance between accepting present limitations and continuing to move forward. Finding Your Edges One of Mindy's most useful metaphors is finding your edges. After extensive treatment, she reached a point where she could no longer tolerate additional treatment in the same way. She learned to recognize the boundaries of what her body could currently handle. Rather than treating those boundaries as permanent walls, she describes living as well as possible within her edges — and periodically testing whether those edges can expand. If you can stand and wash dishes for five minutes, perhaps eventually you try seven. Small improvements matter. Progress in inches can eventually create meaningful change. Sometimes Progress Means Rest Pushing isn't always the answer. Sometimes the next productive step is doing less. Mindy distinguishes genuine restorative rest from simply lying down while remaining mentally stimulated by television, phones, scrolling, or other distractions. The challenge is learning when to push an edge and when the body genuinely needs recovery. That requires awareness, patience, and wisdom. For a practitioner, it also means understanding that two patients with similar diagnoses may need very different guidance at a particular moment. A Biopsychosocial Approach to Lyme Disease Mindy describes her clinical approach as biopsychosocial. That means considering the patient's: Biology Psychology Social environment Physical limitations Emotional health Relationships Stressors Daily circumstances Complex chronic illness doesn't occur in isolation from the rest of a person's life. Treatment may target infections and physical dysfunction, but healing can also involve how someone relates to their illness, themselves, and the world around them. Mindy's own experience as both patient and practitioner gives her a particularly personal perspective on those intersections. Can Having Lyme Disease Make Someone a Different Practitioner? The conversation explores a provocative question: Does personally experiencing Lyme disease change someone's ability to care for Lyme patients? Mindy says her own illness gave her an understanding she didn't have beforehand. She can recognize nuances between different kinds of fatigue, pain, and physical limitations because she has experienced them. At the same time, she points to her longtime mentor Dr. Christine Green as an example of an accomplished Lyme clinician who did not personally have Lyme disease. The distinction isn't that someone must have Lyme disease to become an excellent practitioner. Rather, lived experience can provide another form of knowledge — one that can complement medical education and clinical expertise. Working with Ravel Health At the time of this interview, Mindy had recently begun working with Ravel Health, a virtual care platform focused on complex chronic illness. She explains that the model gives her greater flexibility to structure her schedule around both her patients' needs and her own ongoing health limitations. That matters because Mindy continues to manage symptoms herself. The flexibility allows her to dedicate significant attention to a patient while also building recovery time between demanding appointments. For Mindy, finding a sustainable way to practice is another extension of the same compassion she encourages patients to develop for themselves. The Human Capacity to Overcome The interview ends with hope. Despite everything Mindy has personally experienced — and everything she sees among people living with complex chronic illness — what repeatedly impresses her is the human capacity to overcome adversity. She watches patients face enormous physical and emotional challenges, adapt, continue forward, and sometimes emerge with a different understanding of themselves and their lives. That doesn't minimize how difficult Lyme disease can be. It recognizes that even within an extraordinarily difficult journey, healing, growth, purpose, and progress remain possible.

Australia's Test series against South Africa is just around the corner, so Menners and Damian Watson get stuck into the rivalry, the state of Australia's white-ball cricket and, inevitably, the ghosts of Sandpapergate. Australia has already lost the ODI series, raising questions about the middle order, Pat Cummins' captaincy and who can fill the Glenn Maxwell-shaped gaps in the side. Jack Edwards' breakout performance and Sam Harper's push for Test selection also get plenty of attention. There's also plenty happening off the field, with Cricket Australia chairman Mike Baird stepping down amid the ongoing Big Bash privatisation saga, while the boys discuss the future of the BBL and whether fans are at risk of losing the identity of their teams. And then it's back to 2018. Menners reflects on covering Sandpapergate at the time, the toxic atmosphere surrounding that South Africa series, Steve Smith's emotional press conference and how the scandal changed Australian cricket forever.

Conspiracy theories aren't a sign of poor judgement or personality flaws. Constructed from a shared language, they actually offer a means for someone to try and make sense of an uncertain or stressful event.That's according to Henrich Greve, Professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD, speaking on this episode about his new book, co-authored with Stanford University's Huggy Rao: Ctrl+Alt+Doubt: Decoding the Language of Online Conspiracy Talk.Greve explains why anyone can end up believing in conspiracy theories, how "gateway" theories work like gateway drugs, why the calmest, most rational-sounding posts spread the furthest, and why people often hold several contradictory theories at once as a kind of psychological safety net.The conversation also covers real-world harms, from vaccine hesitancy and the return of measles to South Africa's HIV denialism and the January 6th Capitol attack, before turning to what actually works, and what doesn't, in slowing the spread of harmful conspiracies.Chapters00:00 Introduction: why conspiracy theories spread faster than ever02:03 Why the book was written, and what past research got wrong06:36 Defining a conspiracy theory, and how widespread they are11:23 Reframing believers as problem solvers, not "dupes"15:00 How the conspiracy "toolkit" is learned and spreads 21:03 The language of conspiracy talk: calm words, hashtags and community24:23 Why people believe multiple, even contradictory, theories26:56 Real-world harms: vaccines, violence and the return of measles30:28 Conspiracy theories at state level: South Africa, Russia, January 6th34:04 What actually works, and doesn't, in limiting the spread40:34 Closing thoughts and where to find the bookRead the related INSEAD Knowledge article.

Callum and Gordon have lost the UK voices, Melissa finds the Meta AI app hard to use with VoiceOver, and Gordon says the microphone fix on his Adventurer glasses only partly works. Brian explains how he set up Meta glasses for a 93-year-old woman, including a Wi-Fi automation that opens the Meta AI app for her.Kevin wants people to stop calling smart glasses "pervert glasses", and the hosts discuss whether news coverage of blind users helps. Maya in South Africa gets "not available in your region" from Meta AI, which leads to a talk about unclear feature rollouts, the need for tech from outside the US, and learning to write Braille as well as read it. Shaun also explains why Oorion can be too chatty when it warns about obstacles.Camille tests the new AirPods in strong wind. John asks why blind users should care about touchscreens on Google Books, and there's news that Google plans to phase out ChromeOS by 2034. To finish, Trevor explains how the show helped him write and publish his first novel as a blind author, using AI as an accessible editing tool.Chapters0:00 – Welcome and the Double Tap Live launch3:08 – Meta AI "available settings have changed" bug and Oorion11:03 – Setting up Meta glasses for a 93-year-old17:24 – Smart glasses privacy and public perception27:56 – AMI Scholarship for students with a disability30:21 – Meta AI region limits and learning Braille38:16 – Meta app settings, microphone fixes and missing UK voices44:42 – AirPods in the wind47:27 – Google Books, touchscreens and the end of ChromeOS52:32 – A blind author's AI-assisted writing workflowCall to ActionListen to Double Tap Live around the clock at DoubleTapOnAir.com/live or ask your smart speaker for it.

On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks with Karen Urosevich, founder of Well Placed Travel, about her recent stays at Saseka Tented Camp in South Africa's Greater Kruger and Matetsi Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, where her trip ended with a surprise proposal on the banks of the Zambezi River. Urosevich explains how her now-fiance secretly worked with their travel partner and Matetsi to plan the big moment, and why those same experts talked him out of proposing during a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls. She also weighs in on Saseka, including her candid take on why three nights of twice-daily game drives is plenty for most clients. And lastly, she shares what the trip taught her about advising safari clients, from when VIP airport greeters aren’t always worth it to why it pays to ask how tall clients are before booking regional flights. Currently in its fourth season, The Last Resort is a monthly hospitality-focused podcast brought to you by Travel Weekly. In each episode, travel advisors share their first impressions of the last resort they visited. The 10th episode of the fourth season will be posted the last week of October.

This week on Gen C, we sit down with Tara Roos; political analyst, journalist, commentator, author and self-identified "Girl with five jobs"Tara's obsession with politics started at home, growing up in a family where the news was always on, opinions were always flying and her dad would quiz her on current affairs. Today, she's gone from watching the news to helping make it, reporting from Parliament and breaking down South Africa's political landscape for everyday people.We get into the big questions facing South Africa: Why do young people feel disconnected from politics? Why ordinary South Africans care more about the price of bread and petrol than GDP and fiscal policy? Are our existing policies actually enough to tackle youth unemployment? And why does starting a business involve so much red tape?We also unpack the experience of being a young coloured person in South African politics, the stereotypes that come with it, and the complicated relationship Cape Town has with the rest of the country.Tara shares her thoughts on the DA, non-racialism, democracy, nation-building and political division, while Rizaan has a few things to say about Helen Zille. We also dive into Tara's book Where To From Here, where she breaks down political concepts like populism and hyperfragmentation, and asks whether South Africans actually have more in common than our political parties would have us believe.And of course, we end things with a very Gen C-style game: WINNERS, LOSERS & SURVIVORS - inspired by Tara's book.From Cape Town politics to youth unemployment, Parliament, identity, democracy, finance, travel and the future of South Africa, this is a proper conversation about where we are - and where we go from here.Follow Tara Roos IG - https://www.instagram.com/_tararoos/?hl=enTara's Takes Substack - https://tararoos.substack.com/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@blogsaredead The Bill Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QuQ5QzSnF4

Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Dr Pedzisai Ndagurwa a Lecturer and Acting Head of Department of Demography and Population Studies, Schools of Social Sciences and Public Health at Wits about a deeper look at what is driving this shift? Are South Africans consciously choosing smaller families, or are factors such as the cost of raising children, changing relationship patterns, delayed marriage and parenthood, employment challenges and economic pressures playing a role?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks coach is reflecting on their performance against South Africa ahead of the Bledisloe Cup and later this year, the World Cup. The Springboks claimed a 3-1 victory in the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Tour, but Dave Rennie says the experience has left the team in a much better place. He told Mike Hosking they're disappointed with the result, but committed to the way they're trying to play. "When we get that right, we're a real handful." He says they just have to be better and more accurate where it counts. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if we were all just a little more careful with each other, a little more thoughtful with our words and a little quicker to check in on someone who might need us? That is the message behind KY-ND, an initiative created by Jen Rowe in honour of her son, Ky, who died by suicide in August 2022. Jen wanted to keep Ky's kindness moving through the world, and it started with something incredibly simple: a bench at his school. The idea is that if you see someone sitting there alone, you sit next to them and just be there. Since then, KY-ND has grown into a community, with benches, T-shirts that start conversations and more than R55,000 raised for Operation Smile South Africa. Jen joined me on this week's Good Things with Brent Lindeque poddie to talk about Ky, grief, love and why our words and actions matter more than we may ever realise. Her message is beautifully simple: notice people, check in, choose your words with care and, whenever you can, be a little more KY-ND.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Cobus Venter, Senior economist at Bureau for Economic Research about what the evidence really tells us about AI and jobs, and whether South Africa should be preparing for an employment shock. Research from the Bureau for Economic Research finds little evidence of a broad labour-market shock from AI so far, but points to possible changes in the composition of employment, particularly for younger and entry-level workers in AI-exposed occupations.

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster How Poetry Heals: Words, Seasonal Affective Disorder and Transcendence with Norman Rosenthal Ken D. Foster talks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Norman Rosenthal about how poetry can heal grief and trauma, why he first described seasonal affective disorder, and how Transcendental Meditation shapes his forthcoming book on unity. A Show Built On the Power of Words Ken D. Foster opens Voices of Courage with a preview of the conversation to come, reading a few lines from a poem before rolling the show's intro theme and returning to formally welcome listeners. He tells his audience that words carry an energy, a frequency and a vibration connected deeply to the psyche, and that reading a poem can make the world seem to disappear, carrying a listener back into memory or forward into peace and presence. Foster mentions that he has spent roughly thirty years writing poems himself and has a forthcoming poetry collection called "Echoes of Courage and Grace: Reflections from the Journey Within." He explains that poetry can bypass people's defenses, awaken memory, reveal truth and restore hope in ways ordinary words sometimes cannot. He then introduces his guest, a psychiatrist he says will help listeners understand where words can transform how they think, communicate and show up in the world. Introducing Dr. Norman Rosenthal Foster formally introduces Dr. Norman Rosenthal, welcoming him back to the show and describing him as a psychiatrist who understands darkness from both a scientific and deeply human perspective. He notes that Rosenthal led the team that first described seasonal affective disorder, known as SAD, and that his pioneering work on light therapy has helped millions of people, along with his exploration of meditation, adversity and resilience. Foster highlights Rosenthal's book "Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring You Joy to Your Life," calling him a New York Times best-selling author. Rosenthal thanks Foster for having him back. Foster explains he wants to start with poetry, calling it a door to the soul, and mentions his niece in Washington, D.C. who is depressed, wondering aloud whether Rosenthal's book might help her. He asks directly why Rosenthal wrote "Poetry Rx" and what the book is about, opening the door for Rosenthal's story about a phone call with a grieving friend. The Origin Story and Why Words Heal Rosenthal tells Foster the book began with a phone call from a grieving friend who had lost someone dear and asked how he would ever manage. Rosenthal told him that losing is an art that, like any art form, can be developed, prompting his friend to read Elizabeth Bishop's villanelle "One Art" aloud over the phone. Rosenthal recalls feeling the man's relief and his own sense of elation, realizing in that moment that words can actually heal. Foster then asks Rosenthal, as a scientist and psychiatrist, why words heal at all. Rosenthal explains that words carry both meaning and music, a combination that has drawn people around fires for thousands of years to share poetry that produces hope, potency or anger. He says this taps into primitive cognitive and visceral areas of the mind. Foster asks how a poem that triggers anger can still lead someone toward peace, and Rosenthal answers with Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," written to his dying father, reading several lines aloud. Grief, Struggle and the Music of Words The conversation moves through several more poems Rosenthal has collected. He reads "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep," telling the story of a Baltimore woman who wrote it for a German refugee unable to return to her dying mother during World War II, and says it gave the most comfort to people he has shared it with who were grieving or dying themselves. He then reads Theodore Roethke's "The Waking," describing how the Pulitzer Prize winner captured the daily struggle of simply getting up in the morning. Foster and Rosenthal discuss poetic structures, from sonnets and villanelles to free verse and the ghazal, before Rosenthal reads Gwendolyn Brooks's short poem "We Real Cool." Turning to why some people resist poetry, Rosenthal argues they may love songs and ballads without realizing these belong to the same family as poetry. He invokes Marshall McLuhan's line that "the medium is the message," arguing that real connectedness, whether around a dinner table or in a poem, communicates that a person matters. Listening, Silence and a Letter to a Mother Foster shifts the conversation toward listening itself, describing himself as a long-term meditator who believes stillness is the key to writing and connecting with the divine part of oneself. Rosenthal responds by reading Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," noting that the poem's quiet imagery magnifies every small sound through silence. Foster compares the experience to cycling, describing a "zone" where time seems to collapse while doing something he loves, and says poetry brings him into that same deep inward space. Rosenthal then shares a personal poem, "Letter to Mother" by Nobel laureate Salvatore Quasimodo, which he read repeatedly before leaving South Africa for the United States, knowing he was leaving his family behind. He describes the poem's closing image of a kitchen clock with an enamel dial and painted flowers, and says he later bought such a clock from Italy that he and his wife still look at, thinking of the people they left behind. Seasonal Affective Disorder, Meditation and Closing Thoughts Foster asks Rosenthal to reflect on his own journey, and Rosenthal answers with gratitude, recalling a near-fatal assault at age twenty-four and crediting the National Institute of Mental Health's funding for making his seasonal affective disorder research possible. The two turn to SAD itself, with Rosenthal describing how his own move from sunny South Africa to New York exposed him and his wife to lethargy, oversleeping and difficulty socializing once daylight savings time shortened the days. He recommends morning light exposure, outdoor walking, staying socially connected and, in some cases, an antidepressant, pointing listeners to his book "Defeating SAD." Foster shares his own story of hearing an inner voice in 1992 tell him he had to feel the pain to make the change. Rosenthal then describes practicing Transcendental Meditation twice daily and outlines stages of consciousness explored in his books "Transcendence" and "Super Mind," previewing a forthcoming book, "Unity," about healing societal division. Foster closes by pointing listeners to Rosenthal's books on Amazon and signing off with the show's closing line.

Danny and Sean take another lap around the criminal world, where somehow everything is getting bigger, stranger, and more international. Sinaloa's cartel war grinds on, Romanian crews allegedly drain millions from American food-benefit accounts, and South Africa confronts organized crime increasingly tangled up with the state. Elsewhere, Sydney's latest gang war features teenage recruits and drone-assisted hits, Belgian investigators finally wrap a massive cocaine case, and Spanish cops try to catch narco speedboats that are literally faster than theirs. There are also fresh Kinahan developments, a gang threatening to “rule” Canada, and an alleged arms dealer accused of supplying both sides of Brazil's deadliest gang war.

South Africa is reeling from a series of mass shootings that have left dozens of people dead in less than a week near three of South Africa's biggest cities. One attack happened on Saturday evening when eight gunmen stormed a bar near Johannesburg and opened fire on customers killing 18 people. A few hour later, 10 people were killed in a separate shooting outside an entertainment venue near Cape Town. Police say while robbery appears to be a primary motive, they have not ruled out turf wars between illegal mining groups.

CJ Humboldt flatlined in Barcelona, grew up homeless in Humboldt County, and still chose authenticity over everything. Here is what it cost him.CJ Humboldt built his name in the legacy cannabis world of Northern California before anyone was handing out licenses. He grew up in Eureka surrounded by four Native American reservations, navigated homelessness as a kid, broke into houses to eat, and was done with school by 5th grade. By the time the legal market existed, he had already been through most of what it could throw at a person.This episode goes deep into the philosophy behind his content, his 8-year run as a creator since getting out of prison in 2018, and the specific moment he chose authenticity over consistency, and what that choice actually cost him. CJ walks through how he went from six figures a year in sponsorships to nearly losing everything, and why he would do it the same way all over again. He also breaks down the state of the cannabis industry in 2026 with the kind of clarity you only get from someone who has skin in the game: the good (ever-changing menus forcing real connoisseurs to the top, old genetics coming back), the bad (impossible taxation and rising competition from Michigan and Maine), and the ugly (the wrong people at the top and a culture being colonized by permanent negativity).And then there is the Barcelona story. A butane tank cut went septic on the flight over. By the time CJ landed, his arm looked like Hellboy. His friend Germ gave him CPR in an Airbnb while the crew finished a blunt. CJ came back to life looking for his phone. He survived, paid $110 at a Barcelona hospital covered as a tourist, drove south to Valencia, and watched the most theatrical bullfight of his life.This is Good PizzZa doing what it does: real people, real stories, nothing cleaned up for anyone.Chapters below.Connect with CJ Humboldt:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlackmarketvikingsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cjhumboldtInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cj_humboldthttps://www.instagram.com/blackmarketvikings_backupFollow Good PizzZa:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoodPizzzaInstagram: @_goodpizzza_ | @goodpizzzapodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HHXF0ijATYi8eHIq0rDToApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-pizzza-podcast/id1622059263#goodpizzza #legacycannabis #blackmarketvikingsCHAPTERS00:00 CJ Humboldt Is Back: What This Episode Is Really About01:43 Tortas, Gorditas, and Setting the Tone05:07 Why Carbonation and Seed Oils Are Making Americans Sick08:10 Deer Antler Spray, Peptides, and the Over-40 Men's Health Stack19:28 New Jack City Was a Bay Area Story: History Nobody Tells32:29 Consistent or Authentic: The Choice That Cost CJ Everything38:35 Permanently Negative Canna Bros and Why CJ Is Done With Them50:20 South Africa, Vallejo, Connecticut: Where CJ Comes From51:52 Homeless at 11, Out of School by 5th Grade, 2 DUIs at 1457:15 Flatlined in Barcelona: Sepsis, CPR, and a $110 Hospital Bill1:18:50 Good, Bad, and Ugly: The Cannabis Market in 20261:32:36 Stop Calling Yourself a Trapper: Advice From a Legacy OperatorCJ Humboldt is back.The Eureka-bred legacy operator and Black Market Vikings creator sat back down with JP for the second time, and this one goes places the first one did not.The authenticity-versus-consistency breakdown that every creator needs to hear.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bronwyn Williams, Retail Analyst, about Shein’s shrinking profit margin and its move towards higher-priced clothing. When Shein entered South Africa, there were fears its ultra-cheap fast fashion model would seriously disrupt local clothing retailers. But that hasn’t happened to the extent many expected. What protected local retailers, and does Shein’s latest strategy suggest the limits of the ultra-cheap fast fashion model are now becoming clearer? In other interviews, John Loos, Independent Economist talks about the sharp fuel price increases expected in October and whether government should step in to cushion motorists and the wider economy. Current projections point to petrol rising by around R3 a litre, potentially pushing 95 unleaded close to R30 a litre inland, while diesel could also rise by more than R3.

For decades, philanthropy has chased the illusion of certainty, funding polished proposals while starving the quiet, trusted organizations actually doing the work on the ground. My next guest has spent a career trying to rewrite those rules.David Bonbright pioneered Constituent Voice—putting the people closest to a problem directly into the decisions of how to solve it. Now, through Keystone Accountability and DeepFathom, he is proposing something even more radical: shifting the social sector away from claimed outcomes and towards demonstrated capabilities. He even imagines a fictional city called "Humanville," where famous legacy institutions get passed over, and the small, hyper-trusted local groups finally get funded.We talk about the empirical mirror that changes behavior the moment people see their own data, why every honest measure eventually gets gamed, and a hard lesson David learned when he was declared persona non grata by the apartheid government in South Africa decades ago.It's David Bonbright on The Business of Giving

Dave Scott from Spaced Out Radio breaks down astonishing cosmic news. Astronomers using South Africa's MeerKAT telescope array have picked up repeating radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris, a gas giant planet roughly 63 light-years away. While researchers attribute the signal to massive magnetic fields and noisy planetary auroras, Dave Scott questions whether it is a purely natural phenomenon or a convenient setup for government alien disclosure.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-other-side-of-midnight-with-walter-sterling--7177415/support.

Ten NHS staff have been removed from duty or suspended after accessing the medical records of three-year-old Noah Woods, without authorisation. A major search for Noah was carried out in the village of Brantham, Suffolk, after the child went missing on 15 September. His body was found the next day in a nearby pond by police divers.

"There was indication of a nuclear explosion in the region of South Africa, either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing."In May 1969, Vela 6911 had been launched into the upper atmosphere to monitor a portion of the planet for any sign of a nuclear explosion. It was an Advanced Vela Satellite, carrying X-ray, gamma-ray, and neutron detectors. It was also armed with a pair of optical sensors called bhangmeters, which were named that almost as a joke, because 'you would have to be high' to believe they would actually work.Well, over their lifespan, the bhangmeters had actually worked successfully. Of the 41 "double-flashes" that the Vela satellites recorded over their first decade of use, all had been confirmed as a nuclear explosion by other means, usually by detecting the radioactive debris afterward. But then on Saturday, 22 September 1979, at 00:53 Coordinated Universal Time, Vela 6911's two bhangmeters recorded a double flash over the southern Indian Ocean, somewhere between South Africa and Antarctica...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
