In July 2019, Bláthnaid Raleigh's life changed forever when she was raped at a house party by a man named Jonathan Moran, whom she was familiar with from her hometown of Mullingar. It was a vicious and violent attack, which resulted in a headline sentence of nine years for Moran, although he is likely to serve just six.In her new memoir Aftermath, Raleigh describes how her life was effectively put on hold for five years while she awaited the trial. During which time, Moran continued his working life, socialised with friends, and played rugby with the local club in Mullingar.In today's episode, Raleigh tells Róisin Ingle about the long-lasting emotional and physical impacts of the attack, the trauma of the subsequent legal process and why she waived her anonymity to name her rapist. She also talks about the healing process and how she hopes her story will help others. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell joins us to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the women standing up to racism in their local communities and a new report highlighting research gaps in the understanding of women's health conditions.

"I have to psych myself up for it every f***ing show... what if somebody f**ing k*lls me? I have kids, you know what I mean?"At Riot Fest 2025, we caught up with Dan Campbell from The Wonder Years for an intimate conversation about the band's 20-year journey in the emo and pop-punk scene. Campbell reflects on the emotional weight behind their songwriting process, discussing how The Greatest Generation continues to resonate with fans years later. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dan opens up about the very real consequences of the band's outspoken support for Palestine and trans rights - from death threats to lost opportunities - and why he continues to speak out despite the fear. We also explore the band's upcoming No Closer to Heaven remix, their fall arena tour with A Day to Remember and Yellowcard, and Campbell's touching tribute to late booking agent Dave Shapiro through Kevin Devine's cover of "Whole of the Moon."Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Most emo song Dan's listening to - Kevin Devine's "Whole of the Moon" tribute[01:25] What makes The Wonder Years so emo - honesty and self-understanding through songwriting[01:56] The Greatest Generation's lasting impact and ranking Wonder Years albums[02:44] No Closer to Heaven remix announcement - game-changing for the album[03:36] Free Palestine and trans rights speech - the fear and consequences[05:41] Warped Tour main stage activism and community support[06:05] Building community and putting newer bands on[06:28] Fall arena tour with A Day to Remember and YellowcardEpisode Highlights:"I just write... to try to better understand myself.

Maine Governor Janet Mills is protecting the rights and benefits of people in her state. “When you're right on the law and you're right on the public policy, why shouldn't you stand up? That's the way bullies act: they don't stop unless you stand up to them. And even then, you've got to fight with all you've got,” she says. Mills is standing up to the Trump Administration's deep cuts to important benefits like SNAP. “Whatever they do for billionaires - which is another argument, another debate - they shouldn't be slashing food benefits for hungry kids.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Following President Trump's tirade against the UN and American allies this week, Christine speaks with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on the sidelines of the UNGA. The two discuss how Spain has stood up against some of Trump's demands on immigration, climate, Gaza and NATO, and why it was ahead of most of Europe in recognizing a Palestinian state. Then, legendary Hollywood star Jane Fonda joins the program alongside Zimbabwean human rights defender Mela Chiponda. They talk to Christiane about their new climate fund, what the world can learn from Africa about fighting the climate crisis and Fondas' recollections of Robert Redford. Also, a special "As Equals" report about the female Mexican cab drivers fighting back against the country's fatal misogyny. Plus, after Brazil's President Lula faced off with Donald Trump at the United Nations, Christiane speaks with the country's foreign minister, Mauro Vieira who claims President Trump “is not well-informed” on both the US-Brazil trade deficit and on the Bolsonaro prosecution. From Christiane's archives, a haunting echo of today's wars, where leaders tried to spin a new reality with a litany of lies. She revisits her report on Serbian forces insisting they were not laying siege to Sarajevo despite all the evidence to the contrary. And finally, Christiane visits New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral as it unveils a new mural honoring America's migrants, and speaks with Adam Cvijanovic, the mind behind the masterpiece.

Pastor Rodney talks about Standing Up Against The Lies of This World.
In this urgent and unplanned episode of Free Speech Forward, hosts Joia and Chris respond to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025—the most horrific attack on free speech on US soil in their lifetimes. Recording in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy, they grapple with what Kirk's murder means for America's future as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As the founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk was killed while doing exactly that to which he dedicated his life: engaging in civil discourse and debate on a college campus. Joia and Chris examine the dangerous ideology that equates "words with violence," tracing how this academic concept has escaped universities to radicalize ordinary Americans into justifying—or even celebrating—political murder. They explore the troubling reactions from some Americans who are rationalizing Kirk's death, and issue an urgent call for all who value civilization to defend the bright line between speech and violence. This episode serves as both a tribute to a fallen advocate for free expression and a rallying cry for defending the foundational freedoms that make peaceful disagreement possible in a diverse society.

Kennedy Jr. Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC's former chief medical officer, who also testified at today's hearing, joins to discuss the lack of scientific rigor and transparency from Trump's new health officials.

The Matts are joined by author and journalist Jonathan Freedland to discuss his remarkable new book, The Traitor's Circle. It's a forensically-researched historical story of resistance against the Nazis from inside Germany. Written in the style of a classic whodunnit, Freedland has created a thriller that not only sheds new light on the actions of at least some Germans during the war - but also sounds a warning about the state of the world today and the indications that fascism is once more gaining ground. It's a brilliant, engrossing conversation about a brilliant, engrossing book.

Is the UK Estate Agency Industry Really Being Represented? Rupert Collingwood Speaks Out Are the organisations meant to support estate and letting agents in the UK truly representing your interests? In this interview, Rupert Collingwood, an experienced London estate agency broker, shares his unfiltered views on why groups like Propertymark and the Home Buying and Selling Group often fall short. He explains how these bodies frequently miss the mark by failing to consult agents properly and by offering commentary long after key legislation like rent reform and stamp duty changes have already taken effect. Rupert also highlights the consequences of being sidelined in important discussions, with government decisions steadily eroding transaction volumes and agent incomes. He questions the value of membership organisations today and challenges whether they genuinely stand up for the industry or simply serve their own interests. If you're an estate or letting agent feeling unheard or concerned about the future of the property market, this episode is for you.

You'll hear our perspectives on self-awareness, the value of true comedy, and the difference between humor that lifts people up versus that which tears others down.Finally, we tackle the timely topic of AI's rapid evolution and its impact on the skills that will matter most in the future—curiosity, emotional intelligence, and our spiritual connections. Whether you're a leader, creative, or just someone curious about living more authentically, this episode is packed with thoughtful takeaways on how to flourish in a changing world by truly knowing yourself.Moments00:00 "Mastering Music Through Confidence"05:12 Passion vs. Obligation in Work09:09 "Emotional Intelligence and Self-Discovery"10:59 Standing Up to Misplaced Expectations15:28 Embrace Your Expertise Authentically19:14 Sentinel Island Contact Prohibition20:36 Controversial Stunt Backfires in Korea25:22 Online Video "Clowning" Critique27:45 Winnie the Pooh Moment33:34 Humor's Personal Boundaries35:40 Automated Strike Zone Tested in Baseball37:54 "Reflecting on Self-Seriousness"42:41 AI Enhancing Motorbike Choices45:35 AI's Impact on Knowledge and Emotion50:02 "Building Emotional & Spiritual Muscles"51:19 "Leaders Ignore Emotional Growth"Here are our top 3 takeaways for anyone seeking growth, personally and professionally:Know Your Wheelhouse (and have the courage to honor it):Understanding what you do best—and more importantly, WHY—allows you to confidently step up for the right opportunities and graciously step aside from those that aren't a fit.

Summer is typically a quiet time for higher education but this summer has been anything but quiet amid funding cuts, lawsuits, and questions about the value of American colleges and universities.Our guests this week are part of Stand Together for Higher Ed, a new nonpartisan movement of university faculty and staff focused on building collective power to uphold the core values of higher education. Kathy Roberts Forde is a professor of journalism at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Mark Pachucki is associate professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and co-author of the university's Mutual Defense Academic Compact (MDAC) resolution. Ford, Pachucki, and their Stand Together for Higher Ed colleagues spent the summer talking to faculty and staff from universities across the country about what they can do to defend their institutions amid ongoing attacks and threats from the federal government. They don't have a quick, easy answer but they do have a plan for how people across campuses come together to share how higher education impacts our everyday lives.Is this approach enough? Chris Beem and Candis Watts Smith disagree on the value of Stand Together's approach and discuss their differences at the end of the episode.

Chuck Todd unpacks how Putin's latest strikes reveal Trump was played in Alaska and why Labor Day marks a new stage in the political calendar. From looming government shutdowns and Supreme Court battles over tariffs to the total collapse of checks on Trump 2.0, the conversation digs into what—if anything—remains of the pre-Trump Republican Party. With GOP senators capitulating, RFK Jr. emboldened, and even Trump hesitant to cross him, the stakes for public health and American democracy have never been higher. Todd also explores how rumors about Trump's health could spark a political feeding frenzy, why Kennedy should be forced to prove his vaccine claims, and whether any non-MAGA Republicans are willing to buck Trump to save their party.Finally, he gives his reaction to the first weekend of college football and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline: (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction03:00 Putin's latest strikes show Trump was played in Alaska05:00 Labor day marks new stage in the political calendar06:00 Potential for showdown over government shutdown07:00 What is left of the pre-Trump Republican party?08:00 The checks on Trump 1.0 are gone in Trump 2.009:15 Rubio and Bessent are the only two checks left on Trump10:30 Supreme Court showdown looming over tariffs11:30 Trump has no legal authority to impose tariffs12:30 There will be a vote in Congress on tariffs14:00 Pre-Trump GOP would have stopped RFK Jr. 16:30 GOP Senators have all capitulated to Trump18:30 GOP Senators must grow a spine to build a post-Trump party20:00 Kennedy is putting children and seniors at risk of dying21:15 Even Trump seems to be afraid of crossing RFK Jr.22:00 Former CDC directors write joint op-ed sounding alarm on CDC24:00 Trumpworld only have themselves to blame for Trump health rumors25:00 Trump's health could become next “Epstein” frenzy26:15 If Trump limits appearances it will trigger a feeding frenzy27:30 Will non-MAGA Republicans buck Trump to save their seats?30:30 Is there anything left of the Republican party?31:45 People have forgotten the pre-vaccine era33:45 Kennedy should have to prove vaccines DON'T work35:30 Chuck's experience at Miami vs. Note Dame game 40:00 LSU had the best win of the weekend 41:45 Utah had most impressive win nobody is talking about 42:45 Ask Chuck 43:00 Will politicians make changes to college NIL via legislation? 46:00 Can the U.S. learn from other countries for constitutional reform? 51:15 Does Mike Duggan running as an independent give him an advantage? 56:30 Will America actually be able to bring back manufacturing?

What happens when questioning what to feed your baby leads you to question everything you've built your life on? Former NICU nurse Kristen Nagle's journey from healthcare worker to losing her 14-year career, facing $100,000 in fines, and finding profound freedom is one of the most courageous pivots you'll ever hear. In this raw and powerful conversation, Kristen shares how becoming a mother cracked open her worldview, leading her from fear-based decisions to heart-led knowing—even when it meant standing alone against every institution she'd once trusted. This isn't just about medical freedom—it's about the courage to change your mind, the strength found in losing everything, and the unexpected gifts that emerge when you finally stop living for others' approval. Essential listening for anyone questioning the path they're on or ready to discover what freedom actually feels like.

Listen in for a masterclass in courage: not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear run the show. Mark Friedlich grew up in a tenement apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the son of Holocaust survivors, sharing a bedroom and living with scarcity. Today, he speaks on global stages, testifies before Congress, and serves as Vice President of Government Affairs at a multinational corporation. He also stutters, sometimes noticeably, always unapologetically. In this raw, powerful conversation, Mark shares how he built a career at the highest levels of leadership without ever hiding his voice. He doesn't minimize his fear. He prepares. He shows up. He speaks anyway. If you've ever feared speaking up in a meeting, on a stage, or in a tough conversation, this episode will change how you see fear, confidence, and what it really means to own your voice. In this episode on how to own your voice in high-stakes situations, you'll discover: Why Mark never saw stuttering as an impediment, and what that mindset unlocked for him; The difference between fear that stops us and fear that sharpens us; How to own your voice in high-stakes situations, even if you stutter; How to respond with strength and grace when other people give you “the look”; How preparation, mindset, and choosing discomfort can be antidotes to holding back; Mark's memorable conversation with President Bill Clinton; And more.
