Jason Keller became a criminal defense attorney in Arizona, developed addictions to drugs and alcohol that compromised every professional boundary available, took on clients who were members of the New Mexican Mafia, and eventually crossed the single most alarming line available for an officer of the court — smuggling drugs and cell phones into prison for the same clients he was supposed to be defending — before getting caught and receiving a sentence of over six years inside the Arizona state prison system he had spent his career navigating from the other side of the courtroom. _____________________________________________ #mexicanmafia #arizona #truecrimestory #prisonstory #lawyer _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: PrizePicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until 10/31/2026 _____________________________________________ Connect with Jason Keller: https://www.instagram.com/soberithm?stkn=OTVsbDlpbWhnbjM3 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: A Lawyer's Fall 00:34 Early Life and Legal Beginnings 03:10 Career as a Public Defender 05:43 Early Career and Private Practice 08:36 The Path to High-Profile Clients 12:39 Blurring Lines and Rationalizing Wrongs 15:04 The Plea Bargain System 20:46 First Drug Use and College Life 24:01 Addiction in the Family 26:30 Why Criminal Defense? 30:52 The Best Trial Attorneys 33:11 Respect for Public Defenders 38:42 Why the DUI Wasn't a Wake-Up Call 42:39 Life on Probation and Relapse 46:00 Treatment and the Road to Sobriety 52:00 A Moment of Clarity 54:00 Facing the Bar and Moving Forward 57:00 Drug Use in Daily Life 01:01:02 Did You Hurt Clients? 01:08:26 The Story of the Arrest 01:11:44 The Paperwork and the Heroin 01:21:03 Addiction and Decision-Making 01:23:50 Saying No and the Fallout 01:26:56 The Phone Request and Intimidation 01:31:44 Living in Fear and Paranoia 01:35:38 Getting the Phone In 01:38:48 The Charger and the Arrest 01:41:12 The Arrest and Bond 01:44:19 Family Reaction and the Fallout 01:46:56 Judge Takes Him Into Custody 01:49:41 Fear of the Mexican Mafia 01:52:00 The Second Case and Father's Involvement 01:56:00 Plea Negotiations and New Prosecutor 02:00:00 The Deal Falls Apart 02:04:00 Sentencing and Prison Time 02:06:36 The Extra Years 02:09:00 Punished for Not Cooperating 02:11:48 Life in Prison 02:16:12 Surprising Lessons from Prison 02:20:56 Good People in Prison 02:24:20 Re-Entry and Rehabilitation 02:25:25 Total Time Served and Reflection 02:27:23 Meeting His Wife and Telling His Story 02:28:48 Family and Children 02:30:56 Speaking Out and Helping Others 02:34:58 What He Knows Now 02:37:02 Gratitude and a New Life _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Welcome to the first episode of “Save Me a Spot at the Supra” on Heavy Things Lightly where John Heers hosts singer and Broadway performer Carrie Manolakos (best known for her performances in Mama Mia! and Wicked) at his restaurant after she attended a Supra, discussing how the tradition builds community, the role of the tamada, and ways to bring more music into American Supras. Carrie reflects on her early discovery as a vocalist, her training in the Syracuse Children's Chorus, performing professionally as a child, and later learning to belt and pursuing powerful roles. She describes major hardships beginning around 2014, and how COVID brought stillness, but also industry pressures she refused, leading her to step away, stay quiet, and later face public backlash after speaking openly, including support for RFK Jr. She shares how pain, a dental injury, and her film “Metanoia” coincided with returning to Orthodoxy, deepening her faith and art, and closes with a toast about eye-to-eye connection, grace, and unity.Chapters00:00 Welcome to the Supra02:43 Meet Carrie Manolakos04:05 First Impressions of Supra07:37 Tamada and Table Magic08:56 Why We Sing Together15:00 Getting Americans to Sing21:15 Why You Must Go22:35 Famous Guests Wish List25:40 Carries Early Talent26:50 Training and First Gigs30:41 Work Ethic and Athletics32:19 New York Pull in Her 20s32:50 Losing Innocence33:27 Building a Belt36:01 Scarcity and Worth37:26 Faith Roots and Drift39:48 2014 Breaking Point41:43 Alone Through Crisis45:22 Defining Diva Needs51:54 Wicked Standby Chaos53:19 COVID Career Exit55:59 Intuition and Refusal58:40 Hiding and Backlash01:07:00 Nashville Reset Plan01:10:00 Reading Scripture Again01:11:50 Art Led to Faith01:12:06 Going Rogue in Nashville01:15:50 Injury and Metanoia01:19:56 Sermon Hits Home01:23:37 Learning as a Convert01:26:29 Speaking Out and Backlash01:30:05 Floods and Guardianship01:33:57 Politics as Religion01:37:42 Writing America Song01:39:27 Dealbreakers and Values01:41:15 Art and Human Commonality01:42:57 Ala Verde Toast01:49:41 Final Blessing and Outro__

Today it's a special pleasure to welcome Adrian Daub back to Speaking Out of Place to discuss his new book, “What Tech Calls Governing.” This is a devastatingly brilliant and immensely witty critique of Silicon Valley “disruptors” and the fragile, clueless egos of (currently) vastly wealthy people (mostly all men) and both their insinuation into our government and their detachment from reality. Among other things we talk about their aversion to caring about anything but themselves. We end with a conversation about utopias that are already here for us, once we leave off any fascination with a world where, as Daub says, “the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, but for some inexplicable reason, your dishwasher can communicate with your car.” Adrian Daub is an academic and writer living in San Francisco. He is the author of What Tech Calls Thinking, The Cancel Culture Panic, What Tech Calls Governing, and many other books. Together with Moira Donegan he hosts the podcast In Bed with the Right, which focuses on rightwing conceptions of gender and sexuality. His next book will be Project 1933: Fascism Then and Now.

Today it is a true honor to welcome Feisal G. Mohamed to Speaking Out of Place to discuss his new poem, Nowhere is safe in Gaza. This book is “an erasure poem using as source text South Africa's Application Instituting Proceedings against Israel for Violations of the Genocide Convention,” presented to the International Court of Justice in December 2023. We talk about both the distance and also the bridge between the legal filing and this poetic creation, which re-distributes the language of the filing in different spatial manners, both allowing, and forcing the reader to confront the genocide from multiple viewpoints and with different emphases.We speak of the programmatic and historically deep instantiations of Israel's genocide, and bring forth the voices Israel has attempted to silence forever. In particular, we recall the words left behind by martyred physician Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, “We did what we could. When the guns fall silent and the true scale of devastation is revealed will the [UN] Council and its members be able to say the same?” We take that as a call to all of us, and talk about how “Nowhere is safe in Gaza” compels us to expand our imaginative and political capacities.Feisal G. Mohamed is professor of English at Yale University. His most recent books are Nowhere is safe in Gaza (Brick, 2026) and Resistance: Claiming the Arts of Freedom (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming).See the blog attached to this episode for example pages from poem.

It's my honor to welcome Dr. Emmaia Gelman back to Speaking Out of Place. Today we will be discussing her new book, The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State. This massive and detailed work of history argues that the Anti-Defamation League, popularly known as a civil rights organization fighting White Supremacy and anti-Semitism, is better understood as promoting a particular set of interests. The ADL is seen consistently promoting an intensely individualistic notion of rights while undermining and attacking structural critiques of racism, thereby preserving the colonial project. More and more, the ADL's interests construct Jewishness as synonymous with Zionism, and its exclusive aim is to fuse three keywords: hate, terrorism, and anti-Semitism, in order to suppress anti-Zionist activism, preserve the on-going genocide and expand the Zionist state. This is a book that demands attention if we are to understand the US-Israel nexus which has brought us the war on Iran, and repressed dissent.Emmaia Gelman is the author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, a critical history of the Anti-Defamation League as a Cold War neoconservative institution (UC Press, 2026) and co-editor of The Anti-Defamation League: A Critical Reader (Pluto Press, 2026). She co-hosts the podcast Unpacking Zionism. Emmaia is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism, and a longtime activist in New York City.She is the founding director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the political and ideological work of Zionist institutions in Palestine and transnational contexts. She researches the history of ideas about race, queerness, safety, and rights, and their production as levers in surveillance, “anti-terror”, and war. Her teaching spans academic and community spaces.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership.

Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

Cumulative Trauma In Digital Forensics And Policing With Ben Dimmock

Ben Dimmock, Police Well-Being Lead at Bedfordshire Police, joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to talk about psychological safety, trauma exposure, and the long-term emotional toll of working in policing and digital forensics. Ben shares his own experience of depression 12 years into his service, the stigma that made him hide it, and how opening up eventually led him to build and lead one of the largest full-time police well-being teams in the country. He and host Paul explore why well-being has to be treated as an operational necessity rather than a "pink and fluffy" add-on, and how a culture of stoicism has historically driven burnout, long-term sickness, and unresolved trauma. The conversation digs into cumulative trauma — the gradual erosion that builds job after job until something small flicks the switch — and what genuinely psychologically safe leadership looks like versus performative box-ticking. Ben explains the day-to-day work of his team, from 80–100 welfare interventions a month and TRiM (Trauma Risk Management) assessments to peer support networks, and two services he believes are unique to Bedfordshire: dedicated welfare support for officers under investigation, and support for their families. Drawing on Paul's own background in online child abuse investigations and his current work as an NHS psychologist, the two discuss supervision, proactive check-ins, and why sometimes people just need to be listened to rather than "fixed." #PoliceWellbeing #PsychologicalSafety #MentalHealth #TraumaInformedLeadership #Policing #DigitalForensics 00:00 Introducing Ben Dimmock 02:22 Depression and Breaking Stigma 04:46 Speaking Out 06:48 Why Well-Being Is Operational 10:12 Stoicism and Burnout Costs 12:00 Defining Psychological Safety 15:19 Proactive Support Culture 16:44 Building a Well-Being Team 20:57 Cumulative Trauma and Check-Ins 22:09 Supervision and TRiM Tools 26:45 Quick Check Ins 28:02 Cumulative Trauma Explained 30:13 Investigations And Welfare 33:45 Real Versus Performative 36:40 Inside The Well-Being Team 39:34 Supporting Families Too 41:47 Don't Suffer Alone 42:59 Listening Versus Fixing 44:03 Closing Thoughts

This is something Indigenous people have done for tens of thousands of years to help Country survive and thrive.Victor was a young man who wasn't sure which direction to take when two elders in Far North Queensland took him under their wing.He was hungry for knowledge and a beautiful, trusting relationship grew between the three men. The old men poured their expertise into Victor, who captured it all on videotape.Today Victor teaches all around the country, using traditional methods on how to safely burn the landscape so plants, animals and people can flourish.Further informationThe Knowledge: Learning from ancestral wisdom to save our challenging global environment is published by Allen & Unwin.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Reincarnation, The Haptic, Food, and Wonder: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh on his new novel, Ghost Eye

Today it is my immense pleasure and honor to welcome Amitav Ghosh to Speaking Out of Place to talk about his new novel, Ghost Eye. The novel is about reincarnation, but also a lot more. In our conversation we talk about the need to address the terrible set of environmental and other crises we face, and the seeming foreclosure of the imagination by the obsession with technology and the future it offers to us. Instead, we look to how we can fashion beginnings out of endings, aided by a renewed sense of wonder, curiosity, and awe. We turn to the body, to the haptic, and perhaps most important, to food as more than simply nourishment. In all this, story-telling, the revival of connections between living beings, and a deep sense of other times and places are central.AMITAV GHOSH grew up in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and has a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford. He is the author of four books of non-fiction, two collections of essays and nine novels. His books have won many prizes and he has received eight honorary degrees, six lifetime achievement awards and four honorary fellowships. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages and he has served on the Jury of the Locarno and Venice film festivals. In 2018 he became the first English-language writer to receive India's highest literary honor, the Jnanpith Award. In 2019, Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the most important global thinkers of the preceding decade. In 2024 he was awarded the Erasmus Prize and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2025 he was awarded the Pak Kyongni Prize by South Korea's Toji Foundation, and in 2026 he was given a Fellowship by the Guggenheim Foundation. He is married to the writer Deborah Baker and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

Today it's a special honor to welcome Serhat Tutkal and Hevin Karakurt to Speaking Out of Place. These two scholars engage in a broad discussion of Kurdish history, culture, politics, literature and language, with particular attention to issues of statelessness, identity, and violence. We talk about the current moment with regard to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and the US-Israel war on Iran and beyond. We use as a starting poet Serhat's remarkable essay, “Note from Non-People,” and then move to a discussion of his work on dehumanization. We end with imagining paths out of cycles of violence and dehumanization, and consider specifically the way we might imagine new sorts of utopias and vistas of life-affirmation.Hevin Karakurt is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Stanford University, where she studies Kurdish literature across languages and territories. In this way, she works on the question of how a literature of a collective that shares neither one nation nor any one language might function. Before coming to Stanford, she worked as a researcher in the Swiss National Science Foundation funded research project “Half-Truths. Truth, Fiction, and Conspiracy in the ‘Post-Factual' Age”, at the University of Basel.Serhat Tutkal is a Kurdish academic. He is a postdoctoral researcher funded by the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (Secihti) in Mexico. He has a PhD from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá) with a dissertation on the legitimation and delegitimation of Colombian state violence. He mainly works on violence, racism, and dehumanization in West Asia and Latin America

In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacy M., we continue pulling back the curtain on Freemasonry and examining the questions most people are told not to ask.If the organization is simply a harmless fraternity, why so much secrecy? Why the elaborate rituals, layered symbolism, and strict oaths? And why have so many influential leaders throughout history been tied to it?In this episode, we dig deeper into the structure of Freemasonry, the meaning behind its rituals and symbols, and the concerns many Christians and researchers have raised about its spiritual and cultural influence. We also discuss why criticism of the organization is often quickly dismissed—and why that reaction alone should make people more curious, not less.This conversation isn't about sensationalism. It's about discernment. When powerful institutions operate largely out of public view yet intersect with leadership, culture, and faith, they deserve thoughtful examination.The goal isn't to tell people what to think, but to encourage them to start asking questions for themselves.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on Uncommon Sense, I'm joined by Stacy M. for a conversation that too many people are afraid (or unwilling) to have.We're discussing Freemasonry: what it is, what it claims to be, and the darker, more sinister elements that often get brushed aside or ignored entirely. From secrecy and symbolism to influence and power, we're asking the questions that rarely get real answers.Why has this secret society maintained such a strong presence for so long? Why does it seem to intersect so frequently with positions of power—including within our own government? And most importantly… why aren't more people talking about it?This episode isn't about blind accusations, it's about awareness. If something holds influence, operates behind closed doors, and shapes culture or leadership in any capacity, it deserves scrutiny.It's time to start paying attention and asking better questions.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today, on Speaking Out of Place, I have the pleasure of talking with Say Burgin about her book, Organizing on Your Own: The White Fight for Black Power in Detroit. Tracing the changing terrain of anti-racist organizing and activism in the 1960s and 1970s, Burgin's book focusses on what became known as “parallel organizing” amongst Blacks and whites. Delving into fascinating archival materials from many activist organizations at that time, Say finds that groups like the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee both maintained active relations with white activists and also encouraged them to organize within their own communities. These groups, such as People Against Racism, formed working relations with clergy, labor, and even some in management, and centered their energy in not only job creation, but also the political education of whites as to the structures of racism they inhabited. Another key focal point was police violence. Risking their lives at this moment intense repression and violence, including that against whites who were working for Black liberation, white groups were ahead of their counterparts in today's moment, photographing police violence and establishing radical educational projects. Indeed, Say and I end our conversation with a comparison between then, and now, from the moment of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the uprising of the George Floyd killing.Say Burgin is a professor of history who focuses on 20th century US social movement and African American history. Her book, Organizing Your Own: The White Fight for Black Power in Detroit, was published by New York University Press in 2024. It provides a new way of understanding the Black Power movement's relationship to white America. She has been active in movements to abolish prisons and build solidarity with Palestine, and she spends a lot of her time helping to run a community bail fund.

Have we forgotten how to truly participate in the natural world? What can the ancient practice of shepherding teach us about ecological healing? How does physical labor connect us to the land, memory and belonging?In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu speaks with Helen Whybrow about her book, The Salt Stones: Seasons of a Shepherd's Life. Besides being a detailed account of the day to day, season by season life on her farm, where she and her family raise sheep, build a broad community, and maintain Knoll Farm, a center for activists, writers, artists and others to share ideas on how to promote healthier and more just ways of living together and in the environment, The Salt Stones is at base about the ways we are losing a sense of belonging, not only with others and with other forms of life on this planet, but also with the cycles of existence, of life and of death. Whybrow shows time and again that it is mostly a matter of developing ways of seeing and noticing what is all around us, and learning about and respecting the ways that generations of people and non-human animals have existed together in sustainable and mutually-dependent ways.Helen Whybrow is a writer, editor and organic farmer whose book about shepherding, land and belonging, The Salt Stones, was longlisted for the National Book Award and chosen as a New Yorker Best Book of 2025. Her other titles include Dead Reckoning (W. W. Norton, 2001) and A Man Apart (Chelsea Green, 2015).

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/
