"Bobbing about on my bucket list for far too long, I've finally just enjoyed my first foray to heart-stealing Hamilton Island. Glamourous and gorgeous in equal measure this holiday jewel in the Whitsundays archipelago completely smashed my expectations. With an embarrassing surfeit of island vacay options in Queensland, I had assumed Hamilton Island, or Hamo as the locals call it, might just be another pleasant dime-a-dozen speck of palm-fringed sand, edging warm ocean water. "But Hamo is so much more." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was no 'Heaven's Gate' -- 'The Way West' was more like the 'Ishtar' of the late 1960s. It was spectacularly and expensively shot on location in Oregon, but plans to celebrate its release here foundered in a tidal wave of scathing reviews.

It was supposed to be Trump joining troops and or police for a patrol last night, but that didn't happen. Instead, it was a but photo opportunity. Trump showed up with food to pass out and took pictures with officers. He also spoke to the officers and guardsmen saying: “We're going to make it safe, and we're going to then go on to other places, but we're going to stay here for a while.” The use of the military in a civilian setting comes as DC officials say their crime rates have dropped and are no the emergency Trump claims as the need for intervention by the National Guard.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 315 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. From the MCC's lofty ideals to the raw heat of the middle, the “Spirit of Cricket” is never far from controversy — but what does it really mean in the modern game? In this episode, we dive into two recent flashpoints that lit up cricket's moral debate: Wiaan Mulder's self-declaration at 367, stopping short of Brian Lara's record out of respect, and Ben Stokes' Old Trafford ‘Handshake-gate' with India, where cultural values, milestone-chasing, and perceived hypocrisy clashed. Are these moments examples of sportsmanship, missed opportunity, or just personal choice being judged through someone else's lens? We unpack the incidents, the outrage, and the bigger question — who truly gets to define the Spirit of Cricket?Thank you so much for tuning in to today's episode and for your incredible support.

As single mums, life often feels like a balancing act. On one hand, you're the loving, nurturing parent your children need. On the other, you might feel pressure to become the “fun parent” they want. Throw co-parenting into the mix - especially with an ex who takes on the role of the Disneyland Dad, prioritising fun over routine - and that balance can feel impossible to maintain. But here's the truth: being the fun parent isn't all it's made out to be. In this episode, we dive into why competing to be the “fun parent” isn't the answer, how the role of a Disneyland Dad impacts co-parenting, and why providing stability is the ultimate gift you can give your children.

Mark Brend in conversation with David Eastaugh http://jawbonepress.com/down-river/ Down River: In Search Of David Ackles is an illuminating study of mythmaking, the popular music industry, and a forgotten enigma of the 1970s. In 1972, David Ackles's third album, American Gothic, was released to a flurry of press plaudits declaring it to be ‘the Sgt Pepper of folk' and one of the greatest records ever made. Yet the album, like its two predecessors, failed to sell, and after one more record, its creator simply vanished. He found work, raised a family, and died a couple of decades later, having never made another record. Today, Ackles's music is largely consigned to the streaming netherworld. It is yet to be properly repackaged and reappraised, and he remains largely unknown. But there is no middle ground. You either love him or you've never heard of him. His admirers range from Black Flag's Greg Ginn to indie polymath Jim O'Rourke to Genesis drummer turned platinum-selling solo artist Phil Collins. In 2003, when Elvis Costello interviewed Elton John for the first episode of his television show Spectacle, the two spoke at some length, and with palpable respect, about Ackles's great talent, before performing a duet of his ‘Down River'—the same song Collins had selected for Desert Island Discs a decade earlier.

Canyons, whether large or small, can host a spectacular variety of birds! Consider Swakane Canyon, in central Washington State. It cuts west from the Columbia River into the Entiat Mountains for nine miles, while gaining nearly 3,000 feet. Steep slopes wall in the canyon floor, several hundred yards wide. A slender creek runs through the canyon, nurturing shrubs like blue elderberry. The plant provides nesting cover for Bullock's Orioles and other birds in summer, and masses of tiny fruit to migrating birds in September. And each successive habitat embraces a new mix of birds and other wildlife.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander set sail once again for a swashbuckling YouTube Reaction & Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), the fifth installment in Disney's beloved pirate saga. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, the film finds Captain Jack Sparrow down on his luck until he's thrust into another supernatural conflict—this time against the vengeful ghostly Captain Salazar and his deadly crew, who have escaped from the Devil's Triangle with one mission: to kill every pirate at sea, especially Jack. Notable moments include the jaw-dropping execution escape scene in Saint Martin, the visually stunning undead shark attack, Salazar's eerie flashback origin story, and the emotional family reunion that ties together the saga's legacy. With dazzling visuals, magical relics like the Trident of Poseidon, and callbacks to the original trilogy, Dead Men Tell No Tales delivers a mix of nostalgia, action, and fantasy that continues the high-seas legend of Jack Sparrow.

What can we learn about the future of the church by looking back at Robert Schuller? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. speaks with sociologists Gerardo Marti and Mark Mulder about their new biography, The Church Must Grow or Perish: Robert Schuller and the Business of American Christianity. Together, they explore how Schuller's entrepreneurial vision, drive-in worship, and architectural grandeur helped shape the megachurch model—and why his story still matters today. This wide-ranging conversation dives into Schuller's deep pastoral commitment, his embrace of American capitalism, and the unspoken ways his model of church innovation continues to influence today's pastors. Loren, Gerardo, and Mark also reflect on what it means to lead faithfully in a culture defined by speed, spectacle, and constant change. Topics Covered The rise and fall of Robert Schuller and the Crystal Cathedral Why Schuller's legacy lives on in today's church growth models How capitalism and faith became intertwined in modern ministry The unintended consequences of constant innovation Schuller's surprising theological conservatism and deep pastoral care What “resonance” offers as a response to cultural acceleration Mark T. Mulder is Professor of Sociology at Calvin University and director of the Common Good Collective. He is the author or co-author of five books In addition, Mulder has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in academic journals, including Social Problems, Religion and American Culture, and The Journal of Urban History. He has also published pieces for church audiences and won writing awards from the Evangelical Press Association and the Associated Church Press.  Gerardo Martí is William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology at Davidson College and president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. A prolific and award winning author, his research explores religious innovation and the role of religion in shaping patterns of racialization and political engagement in the United States. Bluesky ‪@gerardomarti.bsky.social   Mentioned Resources:

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Puck media correspondent Julia Alexander to discuss the absurdities of Jubilee. You might not recognize the name of the company but you've probably seen some of their clips; most recently, Mehdi Hasan went up against 20 self-described far-right conservatives that resulted in at least one of the participants losing his job after he proudly declared himself an autocrat and downplayed Nazi crimes during the Holocaust. Is this brand of debate spectacle lucrative? Maybe! Is it bad for society? Undoubtedly. We examine why on this week's episode. If you enjoyed it, please share it with a friend!

Send us a textPolitics has devolved into theater, and nowhere is this more evident than in the calculated spectacle of recent ICE raids in sanctuary cities. These aren't about establishing order—they're about creating fear and asserting narrative dominance. When 1,000 agents descend overnight, the message isn't about immigration policy but about power: who wields it and who suffers under it.Meanwhile, our economy presents a troubling paradox. Wall Street celebrates record highs while Main Street struggles with falling wages and maxed-out credit. The market rally floats on speculation, AI hype cycles, and sugar-coated interest rate forecasts—a Jenga tower held together by vibes rather than fundamentals. When the Congressional Budget Office projects a $3.4 trillion increase in national debt from proposed tax cuts alongside slashes to social programs, we're witnessing ideology masquerading as fiscal responsibility.Beyond our borders, global crises multiply with frightening speed. From Gaza to Ukraine, from climate disasters to sectarian violence, the planet shows symptoms of systemic collapse while international institutions issue empty statements. Those suffering most have the least power to effect change, creating a dangerous feedback loop of disillusionment.Perhaps most concerning is what we're calling a legitimacy collapse. While democratic institutions technically function, public trust and engagement continue to erode. Voters participate but policies remain static; protests erupt but laws don't change. This performance art for lobbyists threatens not just current governance but the very concept of democratic participation.The recent controversies surrounding both the Epstein files and Hunter Biden's explosive interview reveal how political dynasties weaponize vulnerability, turning personal trauma into strategic shields against accountability. When empathy becomes a tool to deflect legitimate scrutiny, democracy suffers.Join us as we cut through the noise to examine what's really at stake when narrative dominates reality.

Your dad dies before you're born. Your mom can't afford to take care of you. You grow up without a family and in an institution. You learn a trade and start working full time at the age of 14. You work all day and go to school at night. You're precise, meticulous, restless, and work circles around everyone. You're promoted to run the factory at 18 but the thought of working for anyone else terrifies you. For your entire life you'll be obsessed with control. You'll do whatever it takes to escape the harshness of poverty and the pangs of hunger. You organize your life around a simple principle: "I want to be the best at everything I do.” You start your own workshop, create the best product, and your biggest customer wants to become your partner. They underestimate you and abuse you. You destroy them. You take all of their customers. You're not satisfied with being a subcontractor. You want everything. You make your own glasses, you buy your distributor, you list your company on the New York Stock Exchange, you complete hostile takeovers of much larger companies, you buy entire retail chains, and control everything about your product: from the raw materials to the relationship with the customer. Your competitors call you the hawk because you circle, wait, and then strike. You work 20 hours a day and fuse yourself with the factory. You get married four times, to three different women, and have six kids. You don't look back, you don't rest on your laurels, and you don't go to sleep on wins. You make something great, then you do it again. Your biggest deal comes 60 years into your career.

Leon Neyfakh joins the show to discuss Final Thoughts, his new podcast chronicling Jerry Springer's transformation from charismatic progressive politician to ringmaster of daytime TV chaos. They explore how Springer's earnest civic ambitions unraveled into tabloid infamy—and why he never fully distanced himself from the circus he hosted. Mike also reflects on America's confusing birthday—whether 1776, 1787, or the neglected Articles of Confederation truly mark the founding—and why the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth never made it to its own sestercentennial. It's a conversation about spectacle, civic identity, and the uneasy line between public service and entertainment.
