Podcasts about Spectre

What's up, Gamers?!We are heading back to the stars for a heavyweight sci-fi showdown that has divided the galaxy for over a decade! This week on Konsole Kombat, we're pitting the pride of the Sangheili against humanity's first Spectre. It's The Arbiter (Thel 'Vadam) vs. Commander Shepard!In the Red Corner, standing over 7 feet tall, we have the former Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice. Wielding the Prophet's Bane and the tactical brilliance of the Swords of Sanghelios, The Arbiter brings Covenant energy shielding, active camouflage, and brutal CQC dominance to the arena.In the Blue Corner, the N7 Soldier class himself. He's the survivor of the Skyllian Blitz, the hero of the Citadel, and the man who stared down the Reapers. Commander Shepard enters the fight with a full arsenal of heavy weaponry, biotic-resistant armor, the Omni-blade, and the adrenaline-fueled reflexes of a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier.In this episode, we break down:Tech vs. Tech: Can Shepard's kinetic barriers withstand a plasma bombardment, or will the Energy Sword slice through N7 armor like butter?Experience: Thel's decades of military campaigns vs. Shepard's intense guerilla warfare against the Geth and Collectors.The X-Factor: Does Shepard's "Adrenaline Rush" give him the edge over the Arbiter's Active Camo?Will the Will of the Prophets be done, or is this fight a favorite store on the Citadel? Grab your controllers, pick your side, and let's get ready for action!Don't forget to subscribe and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Get out there and level up, Kombatants!

Danny and Derek speak to Ilias Alami, assistant professor of political economy at Cambridge, about the global shift from neoliberalism to new forms of state capitalism. They discuss the rebalancing of economic power toward East Asia; sovereign wealth funds, policy banks, and state-owned enterprises; and the role of states in industrial strategy, technology, and supply chains. They also touch on China, AI, and the overlap between economic rivalry and geopolitical confrontation. Check out the book Ilias co-authored, The Spectre of State Capitalism.

¡Qué casualidad!

Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. Recently, I got an email from a publicist asking if I'd like to interview a new author who wrote about his experiences as an aviator on an AC-130 Spectre gunship. Now usually, there will be some back and forth between the publicist and I to schedule the interview. I've found that some publicists send out pitches to quite a few podcasters, so it can take a while to set up the interviews. This author's story fascinated me, so instead of waiting for the back and forth with the publicist, I looked up the author online and contacted him directly. And here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation.After you listen, let me know what you think. So many people, especially military and first responders, have so embedded themselves in their roles that when they leave their profession, they feel adrift and no longer part of their extended family. This leaves them feeling untethered and lost, which can lead to depression and addiction. I appreciate how honest Anthony is about his struggles and how he's working to overcome them. And stay positive and help others as well. Anthony is truly a hero and I hope he comes back for another episode.Check out his book on Amazon:Moon Child: The Roots and Wings of a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviatorhttps://www.amazon.com/Moon-Child-Special-Missions-Aviator/dp/B0DZMXBHJ4 Until next time, take care of one another, and thanks for listening.

In Part 2 of our conversation with USAF Tech Sgt. Anthony Dyer (Ret), we revisit the 2018 combat rescue mission in East Africa that began in chaos - runaway weapons, jettisoned flares, and broken comms - and ended with a high-risk landing under fire to evacuate wounded teammates. Anthony reflects on the loss of an American operator that day, what the motto “These things we do, that others may live” means in the moments that matter, and how those events shaped him long after the mission was over. He also opens up about the difficult transition out of the military, identity loss, drinking, confronting trauma, and how therapy, medication, and writing his memoir Moonchild helped him rebuild purpose as a husband, father, and storyteller. A raw and deeply human look at service, sacrifice, and healing.American Veteran's Crisis Line (24/7 confidential crisis support):Dial 988 then press 1 ORText 838255To contact Anthony for speaking engagements etc, you can reach him at anthonyp.dyer@gmail.comTo buy his book you can visit Barnes and Noble or Amazon at the following links (or simply Google "Moon Child Anthony Dyer for many options):https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/moon-child-anthony-dyer/1147103074https://www.amazon.ca/Moon-Child-Special-Missions-Aviator/dp/B0DZMXBHJ4

With political rivals, media figures, and Washington insiders all gathered together, the event looked less like a memorial and more like a Bond-villain board meeting. An eye-opening discussion about the illusion of political conflict, the permanence of the power class, and the “big club” George Carlin warned about.

Captain's Log: Stardate 3842.3 The Trek Cast has returned to the Apocalypse Video airwaves after a lengthy hiatus - just in time…for Thanksgiving. And we thought what better way to celebrate the holiday, than with an awkward family reunion with Spock and his parents. I'm told that Spock hasn't spoken to his father in eighteen years. I keep asking him about his Daddy issues, but he continues to shoot me down with his usual eye brow raise and glib remark about humans being stupid. I plan on getting to the bottom of this little family drama, just as soon as I figure out what that spinny disk thing is floating outside my ship, mirroring our every move, and rocking us back and forth with continued laser blasts - all of this, and meanwhile Dr. McCoy performs a dangerous surgical transfusion between Spock and his Father. There's so many plot twists in this episode, you'll be shocked it's not a two parter! I'm your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try not to slip and call the Tellarites “pig men” are fellow crew members, First Officer Jackie and Lieutenant Michael. Topics of discussion in this episode include the rare TOS episode that actually delves into the character's back stories in a meaningful way; we applaud the acting prowess of fan favorite Mark Lenard; and finally, we try to understand what Spock's beef with Scotty was all about and why he had such an aversion to making him acting Captain of the ship.

This week, Alex and James are joined by friend of the show Simon Smith to discuss the moments that could have ended the entire Bond franchise. Following our Make or Break episode, we take a closer look at the Breaks: the films and behind-the-scenes developments that defined (and nearly destroyed) the future of 007. From the Connery-draining Thunderball to the baffling brother revelation of Spectre, these are James Bond's lowest moments... and how he rose from them stronger than ever.

In Part 1 of our conversation with USAF Tech Sgt. Anthony Dyer (Ret), host Bryan Morrison explores Anthony's journey from growing up in the Appalachian Mountains to serving as an aerial gunner on the legendary AC-130H Spectre gunship. Anthony walks us through his early Air Force years as an F-15E weapons loader, the impact of 9/11, his transition to firefighting, and the demanding pipeline that led him into special operations aviation. He shares what it's like to fire a 105 mm cannon from the sky, the pressure of close air support, his baptism of fire on his first combat mission, and how writing his memoir Moonchild helped him confront trauma and rebuild. A powerful, honest look at service, resilience, and life inside one of the most iconic aircraft in the world.

The White House has announced a renewed focus on beef market conditions as consumer demand remains strong and prices stay elevated. While the Trump administration’s attention is reportedly aimed at packers in the beef industry, some analysts and industry voices say the move comes at a complicated time for the sector.

Ahoy, Gang!    Here is a free taste of one of our premiere shows on our Patreon called, "Does This Come In Chromium with host, Matt Anderson!      On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Matthew Dow Smith (writer/artist THE OCTOBER GIRL) turn out the lights to find out if the story contained within the pages of 1993's THE SPECTRE #13 shines brighter than its glow-in-the-dark cover.   How is it that a comic published in 1993, set in a fictional country, featuring (the always cool) Count Vertigo, and starring a character with god-like powers can feel so relevant and relatable to today?   Plus, Matt shares his opinion that the duo of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake make for one of the greatest collaborations in all of comics (actually, this is not an opinion - it's an undeniable fact), while Matthew shares his true feelings on The Spectre (you'll have to listen to find out what they are).   Also, they discuss Matthew's time as artist on the DAY OF JUDGEMENT series (written by Geoff John) and what it was like helping create a brand new Spectre.   This is a jam packed episode - so don't miss it!   Contact the show: doesthiscomeinchromium@gmail.com

Tune in to another episode of Give The People What They Want! with Peoples Dispatch editor Zoe Alexandra, Indian journalist Prasanth R, and Roger McKenzie, international editor of the Morning Star. This week, they discuss the victory of Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor elections, the RSF capture of El Fasher in Sudan, disputed elections and popular protests in Tanzania and Cameroon, Trump's threats to Nigeria over allegations of “Christian genocide” as well as updates from the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan, South Korea.

Where do cops come from and what do they do? How did “modern policing” as we know it today come to be? What about the capitalist state necessitates policing? In this clear and comprehensive account of why and how the police—the linchpin of capitalism—function and exist, organizer and author brian bean presents a clear case for the abolition of policing and capitalism. Their End Is Our Beginning traces the roots and development of policing in global capitalism through colonial rule, racist enslavement, and class oppression, along the way arguing how police power can be challenged and, ultimately, abolished. bean draws from extensive interviews with activists from Mexico to Ireland to Egypt, all of whom share compelling and knowledgeable perspectives on what it takes to—even if temporarily—take down the cops and build a thriving community-organized society, free from the police. The lessons they offer bring nuance to the meaning of “solidarity” and clarity to what “abolition” and “revolution” look like in practice. Featuring illustrations by Chicago-based artist Charlie Aleck, Their End Is Our Beginning is an incendiary book that offers a socialist analysis of policing and the capitalist state, a vital discussion of the contours of abolition at large, and the revolutionary logic needed for liberation. Guest: brian bean is a Chicago-based socialist organizer, writer, and agitator originally from North Carolina. They are one of the founding editors of Rampant magazine. Their work has been published in Truthout, Jacobin, Tempest, Spectre, Red Flag, New Politics, Socialist Worker, International Viewpoint, and more. In addition to Their End Is Our Beginning, brian coedited and contributed to the book Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, also published by Haymarket Books.

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Tim Bruns dig into the second half of John Byrne's 2-year run on the Super-titles — culminating in "The Supergirl Saga," which saw the introduction of Matrix and Superman's cold execution of General Zod & his allies. But first, Anthony and Tim discuss Superman's team-ups with Batman, Booster Gold, and The Spectre; Lana & Smallville's baffling involvement in the "Millenium" crossover; romantic developments between Superman & Wonder Woman, Lois Lane & Jose Delgado, and Clark Kent & Lori Lemaris; a welcome, but ultimately unfulfilling, spotlight on the Krypton part of the story; and the Post-Crisis returns or debuts of Silver Banshee, Toyman, Prankster, and Brainiac.This episode covers: SUPERMAN #12-22, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #436-444 (with Jerry Ordway on art), and ACTION COMICS #594-600.The podcast's Byrne event has concluded!

November 2nd. 1975.   Ostia.   Around 6:30 AM, the sun is coming up in the open fields of an ancient fishing village.   Just a few miles outside of Rome, it feels a world away from the Eternal City, The Capital of The World.      The rising sun reveals pebbled beaches, salt marshes, faded signs, piles of concrete.   The waters of the Tyrenniean Sea gently meet the sand at the nearby Lidos, but we begin further out, somewhere in the open fields of Via dell'Idroscalo.   A cold wind blows across the desolate landscape.      If you look closely, you can find the traces of an old runway for seaplanes, a satellite military installation from the first world war, but in the 50 years since, it has been reclaimed by sand, pine trees and piles of dead reeds.   The air smells of seawater and diesel fuel.     Seasons change, and many days here feel like the last, but this morning will be etched in the collective memory.     A body has just been discovered.  

Ábranse paso entre las telarañas (decorativas) y sírvanse un bloody mary con unas galletitas en forma de fantasma, porque es hora de celebrar Halloween. En esta oportunidad, les traemos una edición de Historia de Historietas que habla, en su mayoría, sobre los albores de Vertigo, el ya mítico sello de DC Comics para historietas "maduras", con un gran sesgo hacia el horror y lo sobrenatural. Sepan cual editorial casi crea Vertigo ante de DC, como volvió el Spectre luego del ostracismo post Golden Age, que hicieron dos guionistas cuando les prohibieron usar a John Constantine en sus comics, como Robert Kirkman convenció a Image de publicar The Walking Dead, qué colección de DC podría haber escrito Alan Moore en vez de Swamp Thing, y más. Con música de Sticky Fingers, y Judas Priest. Próximo programa: Los Mitos de Cthulhu (Adaptación de Breccia y Buscaglia).

Happy Halloween! Today on Sense of Soul we have Dr Kate Cherrell, she is a writer and broadcaster specialising in paranormal history, 19th-century Spiritualism and British folklore. She is the author of the gothic novel Begotten (2025) and a forthcoming work of non-fiction, Buried England (2026). She writes commercially on supernatural history and has worked with museum and cemetery trusts nationwide. As a paranormal historian, she has co-hosted Haunted Homecoming with Jack Osbourne and Jonathan Ross, Unexplained: Caught on Camera, The Yorkshire Exorcist II and has provided historical expertise on Paranormal: Britain's Last Witch, Weird Britain and Spectre or Spectacle. She received the GPN Top Investigator award in May 2025 for her work in paranormal investigation. She has blogged under the name Burials and Beyond since 2017 and – when not exploring cemeteries or haunted locations – she can usually be found in some dark, dusty corner with a big glass of wine and a good book. She is the author of ‘Begotten' a neo-Victorian novel set in the fictional county of Duncain, spiritualism impacts an Anglo-Irish family. Following the death of her father, Alice Crofton returns to her family's crumbling house, believing she will settle the estate and leave. But nothing in Duncain ever truly leaves. In her absence, spiritualism has gripped the rural county and charismatic mediums have encroached into the household, setting their sights on Alice's family - and her inheritance. Alice tries to hold on to her family and her sanity as hysteria and hauntings take over all she once knew. Written in gothic and ghost story traditions, Begotten's dark - and sometimes humorous - narrative raises questions about the trustworthiness of one's senses and the very nature of ghosts. https://katecherrell.com https://burialsandbeyond.com https://www.facebook.com/burialsandbeyond/ www.instagram.com/burialsandbeyond www.twitter.com/burialsbeyond Book Link: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/roundfire-books/our-books/begotten-gothic-novel Visit: www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Even before the publication of Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb in 1968, we heard warnings that humanity would be doomed to a future of famine, hunger and starvation unless industrial agriculture were unleashed to grow food as efficiently as possible in every nook and cranny of the world's arable lands to feed the “ten billion.” Those warnings continue today. But is it correct? In “The Enduring Fantasy of ‘Feeding the World',” a recent article in the journal Spectre, four members of the Agroecology Research-Action Collective challenge those who make this claim.  Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation about feeding the world with Dr. Adam Calo, Assistant Professor in the Geography, Planning and Environment group at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Dr. Maywa Montenegro, Associate Professor of Agroecology and Critical Technology Studies in the UCSC Environmental Studies Department.

SHOW SCHEDULE 10-15--25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1964 ATLANTIC CITYCONVENTION HALL THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CONGRESS.... 10-15--25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Obamacare Subsidies Trigger Government Shutdown Debate GUEST NAME: Michael Toth SUMMARY: Michael Toth explains that the current government shutdown debate centers on extending two expensive Biden-era Obamacare subsidies. These changes allow individuals earning over 400% of the federal poverty line to receive subsidies and provide 100% coverage for the near-poor. The original Obamacare cross-subsidy structure failed because young, healthy individuals found premiums too high. Toth advocates deregulation, such as allowing insurance companies to charge lower, risk-adjusted rates and enabling single business owners to use Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) for cheaper coverage. 915-930 HEADLINE: Obamacare Subsidies Trigger Government Shutdown Debate GUEST NAME: Michael Toth SUMMARY: Michael Toth explains that the current government shutdown debate centers on extending two expensive Biden-era Obamacare subsidies.

The released prisoners, including potential Hamas leaders, raise concerns about where the organization's center of gravity will shift if they are deported to places like Turkey or Qatar. Schanzer views Turkey, an autocratic supporter of Hamas, as a problematic guarantor of the ceasefire. Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Hamas, Hostages, and Middle East Turmoil: Challenges to the Trump Ceasefire Plan GUEST NAME:Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY: Jonathan Schanzer discusses complications in the Trump ceasefire plan, including Hamas delaying the return of deceased hostages to maintain leverage.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: China's Predicament in the Middle East and Domestic Economic Instability GUEST NAME: General Blaine Holt SUMMARY: General Blaine Holt analyzes China's strategic challenges, noting Beijing is concerned about losing access to critical oil and gas resources as US leadership advances the Abraham Accords. China's previous regional deals, like the Saudi-Iran agreement, lacked substance compared to US business commitments. Holt suggests internal pressures might lead Iran toward the Accords. Domestically, China faces accelerating deflation and uncertainty regarding Xi Jinping's leadership due to four competing factions before the fourth plenum. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: South Korea's Descent into Authoritarianism and Persecution of Opposition GUEST NAME: Morse Tan SUMMARY: Morse Tan argues that South Korea is moving toward a "rising communist dictatorship" that oppresses political and religious figures. The indictment of the Unification Church leader and the targeting of the rightful President Yoon exemplify this trend. This persecution serves as an intimidation campaign, demonstrating the regime's disregard for the populace. Tan recommends the US implement active measures, including sanctions relating to a coup d'état and visa sanctions, while also pressing for greater military cooperation. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Russian War Economy Stalls as Oil Prices Decline and Sanctions Bite GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian economy is struggling as global oil prices decline and sanctions increase transportation costs, leading to a $13 to $14 per barrel discount on Russian oil. The "military Keynesianism" economy is exhausted, resulting in staff cuts across industrial sectors. Forecasts indicate contraction in late 2025 and 2026, with the IMF lowering its growth projection for 2025 to 0.6%. Russia is avoiding sanctions by routing payments through neighbors like Kyrgyzstan, who have become major financial hubs. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: Lessons from the Swiss National Bank: Risk-Taking, Exchange Rates, and Fiscal Responsibility GUEST NAME: John Cochrane SUMMARY: Economist John Cochrane analyzes the Swiss National Bank (SNB), noting it differs greatly from the US Federal Reserve by investing heavily in foreign stocks and bonds to manage the Swiss franc's exchange rate. The SNB's massive balance sheet carries risks accepted by Swiss taxpayers and the Cantons. Switzerland, being fiscally responsible (running no budget deficits), finds central banking easier. Cochrane advises that the US Fed should not be buying stocks or venturing into fiscal policy. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: China Retaliates Against Dutch Chipmaker Seizure Amid European Fragmentation GUEST NAME:Theresa Fallon SUMMARY: Theresa Fallon discusses China imposing export controls on Nexperia after the Dutch government seized control of the chipmaker, which was owned by China's Wingtech. The Dutch acted due to fears the Chinese owner would strip the technology and equipment, despite Nexperia producing low-quality chips for cars. Fallon notes Europe needs a better chip policy but struggles to speak with one voice, as fragmented policy allows China to drive wedges and weaken the EU. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: China's Economic Slowdown, Deflation, and the Spectre of Japanification GUEST NAME: Andrew Collier SUMMARY: Andrew Collier discusses China's economic woes, characterized by persistent deflation, with the CPI down 0.3% (6 out of 9 months in the red) and the PPI down for 36 straight months. This environment raises concerns about "Japanification"—a multi-decade slowdown after a property crash. Major structural changes to stimulate consumer consumption are unlikely at the upcoming Communist Party plenum, as the system favors state investment. The property market collapse means foreign investment is leaving, and Collier suggests the economy may not bottom until 2027 or 2028. 1130-1145 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles. He asserts that private enterprise, like SpaceX, runs the "real American space program" aimed at Mars colonization, outpacing government efforts. In contrast, European projects like Callisto, proposed in 2015, demonstrate government "inaction." JPL is also laying off staff following the cancellation of the Mars sample return project, forcing organizations like Lowell Observatory to seek private funding. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%). He points out that the UK lags significantly behind the US in building new AI data centers (170 vs. 5,000+) due to a lack of risk appetite, insufficient wealth, and poor marketing of new ideas. Separately, Constable discusses the collapse of a UK China spying trial because the prior government failed to officially classify China as a national security threat during the alleged offenses. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%).

He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws.

On the weakness of state and capital – and their fusion. Ilias Alami joins Alex and Lee to talk about his essential co-authored book, The Spectre of State Capitalism. Why is state capitalism not just a China story, but is global? What does the rise of state capitalism tell us about the health of contemporary capitalism? How did globalisation and stagnation combine to give birth to it? Is this an extension of neoliberalism or something new and different? Does this represent a 're-politicisation' of the economy – and does it open up more hopeful political futures?
