Podcasts about specter

My guest is Vivek Chibber, a professor of sociology at New York University. He is the author of Confronting Capitalism, The Class Matrix and Postcolonial Theory & the Specter of Capital. Chibber is the editor of Catalyst Journal and the host of the Confronting Capitalism podcast. We discuss the cultural turn, the rise of identity politics and the crisis of academia. Chibber is deeply committed to a material analysis and is unflinching in his critique of class tourism on the political left. He describes the early theoretical foundations for socialism as it relates to liberal philosophical ideals.

Tonight, we meet Phil from Buckinghamshire, UK. From a young age, Phil sensed his world was differentOne childhood afternoon, home sick with the mumps and resting in his mother's bed, he glanced toward the doorway—and froze. There stood the apparition of a little girl, silent, dressed in pale blue with corn dollies woven into her hair.Later, a picture fell from the wall, revealing a hidden photograph tucked inside the frame—an old image of a girl strikingly similar to the one he'd seen. The house had a rhythm of its own. Toy soldiers would fly across the room without warning. At night, Phil lay paralyzed as the ghost of a woman hovered above his bed.These weren't just Phil's experiences. His mother, too, had stories—memories of playing with three mysterious children who visited every summer when she was young. Children, she later realized, no adult ever seemed to see.Some lives are touched by the paranormal. Others are shaped by it.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-331-a-life-of-haunting/If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly dive deep into Henryk Grossman's model and theory of capitalist breakdown. They discuss Andrew's upcoming new article on Grossman, and Andrew's dialogue with a Grossman defender. MHI has recently published an article by Michael Rednitz, “Grossman's “Correction” of Marx's Law of the Tendential Fall in the Rate of Profit,” and the co-hosts also discuss its contributions to the critique of Grossmanism. This episode is a continuation of MHI's prior engagements with Grossmanism, including two prior episodes of this podcast series. In episode 53 we first discussed Grossman's model and theory of capitalist breakdown, and in episode 69 we interviewed author Ted Reese about his book on Grossmanism. Additionally, Andrew led three class sessions on Grossmanism last fall. Plus current-events segment: The co-hosts discuss the Trumpist tariffs, and the conspiratorial, outdated economic thinking that inspired it. They consider the serious risk of a Trump-induced global recession.

A woman observes an unnatural change in her sister linked to a chunk of amber that her sister stumbles upon and begins to study.   Genre: Mystery   Excerpt: I heard her climbing up to check on the source of the clatter, just as I had. And when I heard Marta enter the room and scream, half of me wanted to turn around and comfort her. The other half of me wanted to keep locking gazes with the specter that was floating outside the attic window..   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story revisits the Year One story entitled “Nocturnal,” in which a couple of agents who typically investigate unusual cases centered around science, must partner with the division of their agency that investigates the supernatural and paranormal. I aimed to the write the “origin story” of that division that investigates the paranormal, and found my aim shifting to focus on one strange incident that might eventually inspire the creation of that division. If you'd like to listen to another story of women from a past era who find themselves contending with supernatural metamorphosis, I recommend “The Galvanic Ghost.”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

Follow us on Instagram @yourdietsuckspod!This week, Kylee and Zoë take a deep dive into ultra-processed foods: what they are, where they came from, how they're designed to light up your brain's reward systems, and what role they play in athletic nutrition. We talk about everything from cereal meant to prevent sinning to the low-fat diet craze, the war-time origins of shelf-stable food, and the engineering behind the foods that are hyper-palatable.We also get into the landmark NIH study that showed just how much processing—not just calories or macros—can influence how much we eat, how full we feel, and how our bodies respond to food. This episode is about helping you understand the systems at play, so you can make choices that support your health and performance without getting caught in fear or shame about the food you eat. Because when it comes to ultra-processed foods, context matters—especially for athletes.

Jeffrey Specter, with his extensive experience in radio and digital entrepreneurship, has played a pivotal role in transforming how content creators approach monetization. As the digital content landscape evolves, he has observed a significant shift from broad, mass-market audiences ("oceans") to niche, targeted audiences ("ponds"). This shift has driven the need for new monetization strategies that allow creators to generate revenue without relying on large audiences or traditional ad models like CPM, which often fail to benefit smaller creators. To address these challenges, Specter introduced CodeADX, an innovative commission-based platform that enables content creators to earn a percentage of sales they generate, rather than being dependent on audience size. This approach allows creators to choose brands that align with their niche and values, promoting products in ways that resonate with their specific audience. CodeADX's integration with platforms like Shopify makes it easier for creators to track and manage sales, offering a more flexible and effective monetization model compared to traditional advertising. For content creators looking to explore new ways to monetize their work and unlock their full earning potential, CodeADX provides the tools and resources needed for success. Visit CodeADX to learn more about how the platform can help you start earning commissions from the sales you generate, while maintaining complete control over your brand partnerships.

Spencer gets philosophical: how do you find the right balance between teaching and other professional obligations? The Break (0:10:41). Results from Trials and Tribulations, and BLSA Nationals!Vexatious Litigants (0:11:26 ).

Spencer interviews famed trial lawyer Shanin Specter, who teaches a class called How to Ask a Question. We learn some valuable lessons, including: "No one thinks you're as nice as you think you are." "Don't lead the barista." "Don't take &%$% from anyone, including the judge." And Justin's favorite: "Spencer, you're gonna have to take my class now."Mailbag (1:04:22). Three letters this week! Should judge orientations include instruction on proper trial techniques? Can advocates circumvent the "I wasn't asked that rule" with an objection? And do STAC and NTC have more protests than invitationals?

Beneath the bustling, beating heart of Richmond Virginia - beyond the glare of city lights and veild from prying eyes - lies a shadowed passageway that conceals one of the most unsettling threats to the locals. This, abyss, carved through the ancient bones of the earth, was once a thriving rail line; but once whispers of a sinister entity began to echo through the annals of local lore, the tunnel was evacuated and sealed one hundred years ago. Unfortunately, due to the lack of urgency, events would lead to inexplicable carnage, mangled corpses, and innumberable deaths. Was this merely the cost of greed and folly, a tragedy written by mortal hands? Or, had the digging awoken something far more insidious - something eternal, something ravenous, something that still prowls within the suffocating dark? Enjoy the story behind the legend of the Richmond Vampire!   Craving more episodes? Keep up to date by following the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, or wherever you may be listening to the show!

In dieser Folge haben wir Schnuartz von Clavastack zu Gast, um mit ihm über die Specter Hardwarewallets zu sprechen. Wir gehen der Frage nach, wie sich diese von anderen Hardwarewallets unterscheiden und kommen dabei insbesondere auf die möglichen Vorteile einer kabellosen Datenübertragung zu sprechen.

In Health Freaks: America's Diet Champions and the Specter of Chronic Illness (University of North Carolina Press, 2024) Dr. Travis A. Weisse tells a new history of modern diets in America that goes beyond the familiar narrative of the nation's collective failure to lose weight. By exploring how the popularity of diets grew alongside patients' frustrations with the limitations and failures of the American healthcare system in the face of chronic disease, Weisse argues that millions of Americans sought "fad" diets—such as the notorious Atkins program which ushered in the low-carbohydrate craze—to wrest control of their health from pessimistic doctors and lifelong pharmaceutical regimens. Drawing on novel archival sources and a wide variety of popular media, Dr. Weisse shows the lengths to which twentieth-century American dieters went to heal themselves outside the borders of orthodox medicine and the subsequent political and scientific backlash they received. Through colorful profiles of the leaders of four major diet movements, Health Freaks demonstrates that these diet gurus weren't shady snake oil salesmen preying on the vulnerable; rather, they were vocal champions for millions of frustrated Americans seeking longer, healthier lives. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode, Alex starts by reflecting on the golden era of reality stars making pop music in the early 2010s. Then he gets nostalgic talking about the former One Direction members finally reuniting at the funeral for Liam Payne. Getting serious, Alex argues that following his electoral victory, Trump does not have a mandate to enact all of his MAGA policy takeovers. It looks like Trump is not going to get 50% of the popular vote meaning he has a plurality but not a majority. Alex wonders if some of his extreme cabinet picks and campaign promises may not be palatable to everyone that voted for Trump and it could backfire. Finally, Alex breaks down the recent events occuring between Russia and Ukraine. Reports show that Russia is gaining ground and Putin is willing to talk about a ceasefire with Trump. All of this is complicated because the outgoing Biden Administration has finally authorized the use of long-range missiles, ATACMS, inside of Russia. Russia has responded by lowering its nuclear threshold.   

Thrilled to open the latest season of Busy Body in conversation with Emma Specter. We discuss her new book, her memoir, More, Please on Food, Fat, Bingeing, Longing and the Lust for 'Enough'.More, Please, reads like a bright, light, young-ambitious-woman-coming-of-age-in-the-big-city, albeit with a parallel life of addiction and self harm (because isn't that the truth behind those stories anyway??). It is extraordinarily relatable, funny, painful, insightful and ultimately not only hopeful but inspiring.Personally I think everyone should read first person account of living with ED, whether you think you have one or not, that being said, Eating Disorders are discussed so proceed with caution if that might be upsetting for you. It's hard to be upset around Emma Specter though, her expansive perspective on life is infectious.Emma Specter is a Vogue Culture WriterFind Emma's other writing HERE and her IG HERE If you like the pod please rate review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!

Halloween is right around the corner, so what better way to celebrate than a deep dive into the ‘science' of ghost sightings? We touch on a bit of the psychology behind these experiences and then break down the equipment people use when searching for proof that spirits float among us, and how power lines and rats in walls muddy the specter detection waters. Then we switch to something a little more corporeal, but no less weird: cyborgs. Biohybrid robots hold a lot of potential, but their ethical use, especially when human tissues are involved, need to be carefully considered.

Shanin Specter, attorney for the exonerated "Central Park Five" joins Michael to discuss the defamation suit filed against former President Trump for what he said about them in a September 2024 presidential debate. The group of men were accused and convicted of raping and beating a woman in New York City in 1989. The convictions were vacated in 2002 after someone else confessed to the crime. Specter says had Trump immediately retracted and apologized after his comments in the debate with VP Kamala Harris, they would not have filed the lawsuit. Original air date 22 October 2024.

Happy Halloween!! Welcome to Night Terrors! Stories you listen to in the dark! The Hollow Specter was written and performed by Russ Johnson. Sweet Nightmares!!

The deeper into the woods we went, the more the smell of rain surrounded us.

The parallels between 2024 and 2016 are striking and impossible to ignore: Trump as the Candidate: Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, and that entails unprecedented support from Russia.  Female Democratic Nominee: Like Hillary Clinton in 2016, Kamala Harris faces unique challenges as a woman running for the highest office. Tight Polls in Battleground States: We're seeing razor-thin margins in key states, reminiscent of the nail-biting finish in 2016. Disinformation Campaigns: As I noted in yesterday's show, we're facing an "onslaught of disinformation" that eerily mirrors the 2016 landscape. Green Shoots in the Data I asked Carl Allen, author of "The Polls Weren't Wrong," how he viewed the two elections on last night's show. Allen says his 2024 forecast is not as close as other analysts', putting Kamala Harris in a far more advantageous polling position than Hillary Clinton was in 2016. Here are some of the "green shoots" that Carl sees in the data. Closer to 50%: Allen points out that Harris is polling closer to the crucial 50% mark in critical states, which he argues is more important than lead size. Fewer Undecideds: Unlike 2016, there are fewer undecided voters this time around, potentially reducing last-minute swings. Fewer Third-Party Candidates: The 2024 race has fewer prominent third-party candidates, simplifying the electoral math. Allen emphasizes that Harris's chances are better than a toss-up, albeit just barely. He puts her probability of winning at about 66%, adding, "A 34 or one in three chance that Trump wins doesn't let me sleep well at night."  He also calls 2016 an outlier election that shouldn't be viewed as very predictive. While this offers some cautious optimism, it reminds me that everything about this election, like 2016, is abnormal. 2024's Wild Cards  Trump's strategy in 2024, like 2016 “is asymmetrical. Instead of running an on-message campaign, he's running an absolute onslaught of disinformation." His alliance with X's Elon Musk is an unprecedented national security crisis connecting the GOP nominee to a known Russian disinformation agent who has the most prominent news app in the world at his disposal to spread disinformation.  There are legitimate concerns about foreign actors like Bibi Netanyahu, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin attempting to sway the election by inventing or heightening international crises.  The Specter of Violence: The implicit threat of violence if Trump doesn't win echoes the 2020 election.  Biden Sounds The Alarm  The gravity of the disinformation threat was underscored today by President Biden himself. In response to false claims about hurricane relief efforts, Biden condemned what he called "a reckless, irresponsible, relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies." Biden explicitly named Trump, stating he "has led the onslaught of lies." echoing the "onslaught of disinformation" referred to in yesterday's show. Carl Allen's book “The Polls Weren't Wrong” brings an exciting new perspective to our understanding of polls and helps us be more precise about forecasting results, especially during unprecedented unpredictability.  What do you think about the parallels and differences between 2016 and 2024?

Law professors Jon Michaels and David Noll use their expertise to expose how state-supported forms of vigilantism are being deployed by MAGA Republicans and Christian nationalists to roll back civil, political, and privacy rights and subvert American democracy. Beyond identifying the dangers of vigilantism, Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy (Atria/One Signal, 2024) functions as a call to arms with a playbook for a democratic response. Michaels and Noll look back in time to make sense of today's American politics. They demonstrate how Christian nationalists have previously used state-supported forms of vigilantism when their power and privilege have been challenged. The book examines the early republic, abolitionism, and Reconstruction. Since the failed coup by supporters of Former president Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, Michaels and Noll document how overlapping networks of right-wing lawyers, politicians, plutocrats, and preachers have resurrected state-supported vigilantism – using wide ranging methods including book bans, anti-abortion bounties, and attacks on government proceedings, especially elections. Michaels and Noll see the US at a critical inflection point in which state-sponsored vigilantism is openly supported by GOP candidates for president and vice-president, Project 2025, and wider networks, Michaels and Noll move beyond analysis to action: 19 model laws to pass. The supporters of democratic equality are numerous and dexterous enough to create a plan to fight radicalism and vigilantism and secure the broad promises of the civil rights revolution. Jon Michaels is a professor of law at UCLA Law, where he teaches and writes about constitutional law, public administration, and national security. He has written numerous articles in law reviews including Yale, University of Chicago, and Harvard and also public facing work in venues like the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Foreign Affairs. David Noll is a law professor at Rutgers Law School. He teaches and writes on courts, administrative law, and legal movements. He publishes scholarly work in law reviews such as California, Cornell, Michigan and NYU and translates for wider audiences in places like the New York Times, Politico, and Slate.

Galveston, Texas, is often considered one of the most haunted places in America due to its history of tragedy and devastation. The Great Storm of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, claimed up to 12,000 lives, leaving a lasting imprint on the island. Many believe the spirits of the hurricane's victims still linger. Many of Galveston's historic structures have withstood wars, natural disasters, and countless tragic events, contributing to their haunted reputations. The island's role in the Civil War, including the Battle of Galveston, adds another layer to its haunted history. The city has also experienced epidemics that caused numerous deaths, also contributing to Galveston's haunted status. These historical events and tragedies have created a collection of ghost stories and paranormal experiences that intrigue residents and visitors alike. Today, on The Grave Talks, we will discuss The Ghosts of Galveston with Eddy Specter and January Wilson of Eddy Specter's Ghost Tours of Galveston Island. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Galveston, Texas, is often considered one of the most haunted places in America due to its history of tragedy and devastation. The Great Storm of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, claimed up to 12,000 lives, leaving a lasting imprint on the island. Many believe the spirits of the hurricane's victims still linger. Many of Galveston's historic structures have withstood wars, natural disasters, and countless tragic events, contributing to their haunted reputations. The island's role in the Civil War, including the Battle of Galveston, adds another layer to its haunted history.  The city has also experienced epidemics that caused numerous deaths, also contributing to Galveston's haunted status. These historical events and tragedies have created a collection of ghost stories and paranormal experiences that intrigue residents and visitors alike. Today, on The Grave Talks, we will discuss The Ghosts of Galveston with Eddy Specter and January Wilson of Eddy Specter's Ghost Tours of Galveston Island.
