Happy feast of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Stephen Smith from Hillsdale College to discuss lessons we can learn from how St. Thomas More endured his time in prison. Other guests include Teresa Tomeo from EWTN’s Catholic Connection, and Kevin Schmiesing with This Week in Catholic History. Plus all the latest news, weather, sports, and more… ***** St. John Fisher’s prayer for bishops Lord, according to Thy promise that the Gospel should be preached throughout the whole world, raise up men fit for such work. The Apostles were but soft and yielding clay till they were baked hard by the fire of the Holy Ghost. So, good Lord, do now in like manner with Thy Church militant, change and make the soft and slippery earth into hard stones. Set in Thy Church strong and mighty pillars that may suffer and endure great labors–watching, poverty, thirst, hunger, cold and heat–which also shall not fear the threatenings of princes, persecution, neither death, but always persuade and think with themselves to suffer with a good will, slanders, shame, and all kinds of torments, for the glory and laud of Thy Holy Name. By this manner, good Lord, the truth of Thy Gospel shall be preached throughout the world. Therefore, merciful Lord, exercise Thy mercy, show it indeed upon Thy Church. Amen. ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every legal analyst in the country has an opinion on the Murdaugh retrial. Very few of them built the case the prosecution used. Eric Bland did. He exposed the financial crimes that became the state's motive theory, represented the victims who testified, and watched the Supreme Court tell prosecutors they overdid it. He also represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation — the cold case that SLED reopened because of the Murdaugh murders and that has produced zero arrests in eleven years.On True Crime Today, Bland answers the questions that haven't been asked on the cable panels. What would he tell Creighton Waters to keep and cut in a narrower financial crimes presentation? Is there anything in the financial discovery the defense could reframe? Has he seen the sealed Stephen Smith autopsy results? Is SLED waiting on the retrial to move? And the question underneath all of it — whether the Murdaugh retrial produces anything for the families who've been waiting the longest, or whether it just retraumatizes them again while Alex Murdaugh rolls the dice on a second jury.This is the full Eric Bland interview — the ruling, the retrial, and Stephen Smith. The attorney who connects all three.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nobody else in the Murdaugh case occupies Eric Bland's position. He's the attorney who built the financial crimes case that became the prosecution's motive theory. He represents the Satterfield family whose testimony the Supreme Court just called prejudicial. He represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation. And he's been inside this machinery since before the first trial began.In this full interview, Bland takes on the Supreme Court ruling, the retrial landscape, and the Stephen Smith cold case — in that order. He explains what the ruling actually cost his clients, whether the prosecution can still win with a thinner financial crimes presentation, and what Harpootlian means when he claims additional evidence. Then he turns to the case that nobody in the Murdaugh orbit wants to talk about — the nineteen-year-old found dead on a Hampton County road whose investigation SLED reopened because of the Murdaugh murders and then seemingly stalled.This is three conversations with one attorney who connects them all. The overturned conviction. The coming retrial. The unsolved homicide. And the question running underneath everything — whether the Murdaugh retrial opens doors that have been sealed for years, or whether it just generates more noise while the people who've been harmed the most keep waiting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Murdaugh retrial doesn't just affect Alex. It touches every case, every family, and every unresolved question connected to the Murdaugh name. Eric Bland represents the Satterfield sons whose testimony the Supreme Court dismissed. He represents Sandy Smith whose son's homicide investigation was reopened because of the Murdaugh murders. And he built the financial crimes case that prosecutors are now being told to scale back.In this full-length interview, Bland takes the long view. He covers the ruling — what it means for his clients and whether the court got it right. He covers the retrial — whether the state can win a narrower case, what the defense's new evidence might be, and why a hung jury is a real possibility. And he covers Stephen Smith — the sealed autopsy, the eleven-year wait, the fifty-thousand-dollar reward, and whether the retrial opens any legal mechanism for Sandy to access new discovery.This is the one interview that puts all of it together through the perspective of the attorney who's been inside the Murdaugh case from the financial crimes to the murder trial to the Stephen Smith investigation. If you follow one conversation about what comes next in the Murdaugh saga, this is the one.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Bland helped bring down Alex Murdaugh's financial empire. He represented the families Murdaugh stole from. He watched the prosecution turn his work into a motive theory that convicted Murdaugh of double murder. And then the Supreme Court overturned everything — and told prosecutors they'd gone too far with the very evidence Bland helped assemble.Now Bland is watching the retrial take shape from a position nobody else has. He knows the financial records. He knows what was presented and what was left out. He represents both the Satterfield family and Sandy Smith — the two families most directly affected by what the Murdaugh case uncovers next. And he has real concerns about what trial two produces for the people he represents.On Hidden Killers Live, Bland gives his fullest account yet of where things stand across all three fronts — the overturned conviction and what it did to his clients, the retrial and whether the state can win a narrower case, and Stephen Smith's eleven-year-old unsolved homicide that keeps intersecting with the Murdaugh name. This is the long-form conversation with the attorney who connects every piece.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Here's what we know. SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of information found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. In 2023, SLED officially reclassified Stephen's death as a homicide. His body was exhumed. A second autopsy was performed. Those results are sealed. Kenny Kinsey — the prosecution's star forensic witness from the Murdaugh murder trial — is now independently investigating Stephen's death because he believes critical opportunities were missed in 2015. And still — no arrest. No suspect named. No charges.Eric Bland represents Sandy Smith and has a direct line into this investigation. On True Crime Today, he addresses whether SLED is deliberately holding back until the Murdaugh retrial plays out. He explains whether anyone from the prosecution's side has ever spoken to him about the overlap between these cases. And he gives Sandy's perspective on what another year of silence means for a mother who has been fighting since before anyone cared about the Murdaugh name.Bland also addresses the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement — and whether that legal resolution makes it harder or easier for Sandy to get answers about her son.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of something they found while investigating the Murdaugh murders. They've never said what it was. Eric Bland represents Sandy Smith and has been pushing for that answer since he took the case. He's also the attorney who represented the Satterfield sons and helped dismantle Murdaugh's financial empire. He sits at the intersection of both investigations — and he's watching the Murdaugh retrial create new discovery opportunities that could theoretically touch Stephen's case.In this interview, Bland addresses the sealed second autopsy results, Kenny Kinsey's independent investigation into Stephen's death, and the Murdaugh name appearing more than forty times in the original 2015 investigation. He explains what SLED would need to move from "active and ongoing" to an actual arrest. And he answers the hardest question in this case — whether someone with power in the Lowcountry is keeping the truth from surfacing, or whether the evidence genuinely isn't there yet.Eleven years. A homicide ruling. A fifty-thousand-dollar reward. And a mother who has been fighting alone for most of that time. This is her attorney telling you where things actually stand.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Murdaugh name appeared more than forty times in the original investigation of Stephen Smith's death in 2015. Stephen was a former classmate of Buster Murdaugh. He was found dead on a road miles from the Murdaugh family's hunting property. When SLED reopened the case six years later, they said it was because of evidence found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. They never revealed what that evidence was.Eric Bland has said publicly that he has no evidence the Murdaugh family was directly involved in Stephen's death — but that they may have known something. That's a specific claim from the attorney who represents Sandy Smith, who helped expose Murdaugh's financial crimes, and who has relationships with investigators on both cases.In this interview, Bland addresses what that claim is based on. He talks about where the "powerful older individual" thread leads and why it hasn't produced an arrest. He explains what the sealed autopsy results mean and whether Sandy's legal team has seen them. And he tackles the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement — a legal outcome that resolved one set of claims while the underlying questions about Stephen's death remain completely unanswered.With the Murdaugh retrial potentially generating new discovery, this is the moment where Stephen Smith's case either moves forward or stays frozen. Bland tells us which one he expects.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Bland has represented Sandy Smith since 2023 and has been publicly careful about what he shares regarding her son's unsolved death. But he's also dropped specific claims that suggest he knows more than he's saying. He told this show that the Murdaugh family may have known something about Stephen's death. He's hinted at relationships Stephen may have had with someone powerful. And he's been pressing SLED for information about what triggered the reopening of the case during the Murdaugh murder investigation.On Hidden Killers Live, Bland goes further than he has anywhere else. He addresses the sealed autopsy, the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement with Warner Bros., and whether SLED is waiting for the retrial to play out before making a move on Stephen's case. He also answers the question Sandy Smith has been living with for more than a decade — whether any mechanism exists for her to access new evidence or testimony that the retrial process might produce.This isn't a recap of what's publicly known about Stephen Smith. This is the family's attorney assessing whether the Murdaugh retrial opens a door that's been closed for eleven years — and whether anyone on the other side is willing to walk through it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the ABA Business Leaders Podcast, April Smith speaks with Melanie Thurston and Amanda Williamson, BCBA, about one of the most important factors in successful ABA therapy: strong parent-provider relationships. The conversation explores how ABA providers can communicate more effectively with families, build trust with parents navigating an autism diagnosis, and better understand what families truly want from therapy. Melanie and Amanda share practical insights for BCBAs, clinic owners, and ABA professionals looking to create more compassionate, collaborative care experiences. How can ABA providers build trust with parents? ABA providers can build trust with parents through transparent communication, empathy, and understanding. Families want to feel heard, respected, and included in the treatment process. Each family is different, and considering these differences is crucial for maintaining a strong working relationship with families.  Why is parent communication important in ABA therapy? Strong communication helps ensure consistency between therapy sessions and home life, improves caregiver confidence, and creates stronger long-term outcomes for children receiving ABA services. What questions should BCBAs ask families? BCBAs should ask families about their priorities, concerns, routines, stressors, and long-term goals. At the same time, not starting immediately with goals can avoid initial overwhelm, when a family is coming to terms with a diagnosis. About the ABA Business Leaders Podcast The ABA Business Leaders Podcast is hosted by April Smith and Stephen Smith of 3 Pie Squared, experienced ABA entrepreneurs who built, scaled, and exited a seven-figure ABA practice. The podcast helps ABA business owners and clinicians grow sustainable organizations, improve operations, and deliver high-quality care. Resources & Links Business Essentials List https://www.3piesquared.com/blog/the-essential-list-for-a-successful-business_24 ABA Business Leaders Support Group https://forms.office.com/r/LLpAHCXUN8 Schedule a Consultation with Stephen https://3piesquared.com/stephen-booking-page Free ABA Business Readiness Assessment https://3piesquared.com/aba-business-readiness-assessment ABA Billing Tips Guide https://3piesquared.com/productDetails/ABA_Billing_Tips ABA Business Leaders Podcast CEUs https://3piesquared.com/productDetails/ABA_Business_Leaders_Podcast_CEUs Have a question for Stephen and April? Call the ABA Business Leaders Hotline: (737) 330-1432 This podcast was produced by Max McLellan of MKM Audio. Want to start or grow a podcast for your business or brand?

In this episode of the ABA Business Leaders Podcast, hosts Stephen Smith and April Smith are joined by Dr. Becca Tagg, to dive into one of the most important conversations for ABA business owners: burnout, self-care, and building sustainable systems that support leadership instead of draining it. They explore why burnout is often less about personal failure and more about broken systems, and how many ABA business owners continue operating with outdated structures that no longer serve their teams or themselves. Stephen, April and Dr. Becca break down the importance of stepping outside your own operations to identify where stress, inefficiency, and overwhelm are really coming from. Have a question for Stephen and April? Call the ABA Business Leaders Hotline: (737) 330-1432 This podcast was produced by Max McLellan of MKM Audio Want to start or grow a podcast for your business or brand?

Nearly 30 years ago, Jamie Oliver hit British TV screens with The Naked Chef, beginning a career arc that has seen him become a bestselling author and social campaigner.He started helping out in his parents' pub aged just eight, and struggled at school, but after making the move into cookery he flourished, first in top kitchens and then behind the camera.Cultural ubiquity and campaigning documentaries followed, though his business fortunes took a significant hit after his Jamie's Italian chain collapsed in 2019.

Kyle Matthews interviews Stephen Smith, founder and CEO of HOTWORX, a 24-hour infrared fitness studio franchise that has grown to over 800 locations since opening its first studio in 2017 after a Jamaica conversation sparked the “yoga in a sauna” concept and a patented infrared fitness sauna.

In this episode, hosts Stephen Smith and April Smith celebrate the release of Stephen's new book, ABA Business Leaders Guide: How To Start, Grow, and Sustain an ABA Practice Without Losing Your Soul.Stephen shares candid reflections on the writing process, the anxiety that comes with putting your ideas into the world, and why having a clear vision is non-negotiable if you want to build something sustainable in the ABA space. 

On our political radar this week… Michigan Republicans have turned their backs on the craziest of the MAGA crazies with hopes of at least one upset in November. But the leader in their race for Governor had a bad weekend. John James had some of the delegates booing him as he was introduced for his speech … much to the delight of septuagenarian perpetual candidate Perry Johnson. Volunteers manning a Rank MI Vote booth at the Michigan Republican Party’s endorsement convention this past weekend were asked to leave by party leaders and security after Rep. MAGA Matt Maddock told them their presence wasn’t welcome…and called them Communists. Rank MI Vote volunteers said they had paid the party for a booth under the name of the ballot question seeking to establish a ranked voting system in the state and wanted to talk with people who are politically active about their objective. The Michigan Court of Appeals which ruled that 37 absentee ballots for Mayor of Hamtramck should be counted … in an election that was otherwise decided by 11 votes.  National Democrats have targeted two Michigan Republicans in Congress for retirement. “House Majority Forward” is running ads on the TSA mess at airports – pointing out that Bill Huizenga and Tom Barrett blocked legislation paying TSA agents … even though the bill they opposed was unanimously approved by the Senate.  A new tabulation from the Huffington Post shows Donald Trump's nearly weekly golf trips to Florida have cost taxpayers $100-million in the last year. He is  on track to hit nearly one-third of a billion dollars by the end of his term.  The latest in the Trump ego-massage campaign: Trump shared the first images of his planned presidential library in downtown Miami, posting a short video that depicts a skyscraper which appears to be about 50 stories tall and filled with reconstructions of parts of the White House, military vehicles and at least two gold statues of Trump. Also included in plans for the gaudy Miami high rise: a hotel, golden escalators, gold doo-dads everywhere, displays attacking Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and the Boeing 747 given to Trump by the oil sheiks of Qatar. Probably missing from the high-rise library: books … and any mentions of Jeffrey Epstein. Another Trump stroking comes by way of Florida. Travelers in Palm Beach soon will be able to drive down President Donald J. Trump Boulevard to catch a flight at President Donald J. Trump International Airport, all in the shadow of nearby Mar-a-Lago, owned by President Donald J. Trump. Trump had a hat-trick of losses in court over the last week: construction on his half-billion-dollar ballroom has been paused, with the judge saying it needed congressional approval, another judge ruled the defunding of NPR and PBS was unconstitutional, and still another judge ruled that presidential immunity did not shield Trump from lawsuits growing out of the January 6 insurrection. And the Supreme Court seems poised to reject Trump’s abolishing of birthright citizenship. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson calls bullshit on the latest Trump executive order which turns control of elections to the Post Office, Department of Justice and Homeland Security. Her immediate reaction: “States run elections, not the president. This executive order is illegal on its face.” Expect to hear from Dana Nessel and other Democratic state attorneys general about a lawsuit in the near future. There's seemingly no end to politics in our lives. It has even infiltrated sports. As we approach this weekend's Final Four in men's basketball, we take a deep dive into the intersection of Sports, Politics and Money with three-time Michigan Sportscaster of the Year Jack Ebling. He has covered college sports dating back to the days when Jim Harbaugh was the University of Michigan's quarterback and Earvin Johnson was a magical MSU freshman. Unlike ESPN's Stephen Smith, Jack’s take on political issues actually make sense … and he doesn't start screaming to make his point! A two-time graduate of MSU, the former English teacher and coach spent nearly a quarter-century as a beat writer and columnist for the Lansing State Journal and won 21 major writing awards before entering broadcasting in 2002. In addition to the sportswriting honors, Jack was named 2017 Michigan Broadcaster of the Year and was a 2006 inductee into the Greater Lansing Area Sports Hall of Fame. He has received 21 major state and national writing awards, authored or co-authored eight books and contributed more than 125 articles for national publications. He has hosted sports and news talk radio shows for nearly a quarter-century, including The Drive with Jack Ebling. Every Sunday evening since 2013, he has hosted Press Pass with Jack Ebling on FOX 47 in Lansing, the state’s longest-running hour-long, year-long sports TV show. We’re now on YouTube every week!

Joe opens with a hard truth: once politicians and judges capture an office, they wield the full weight of government state and federal to push political agendas that hurt everyday Americans. From a London doctor arrested for anti-Israel tweets on X, to Macron pushing to restrict the First Amendment, Houston school boards throwing out parents for reading pornographic books found in their kids' libraries, Texas forcing contractors to sign “no criticism of Israel” clauses, and a Virginia Democrat trying to criminalize “Islamophobia,” the pattern is clear. Americans are miserable, yet the government keeps throwing its weight around for special interests while crushing speech and protecting its own.Then we go inside one of the most shocking examples of small-town corruption you'll ever hear. Michael Morris and Stephen Smith join the show to tell the full story of how Michael's young daughter's simple idea to bring high-speed internet and jobs to rural Wayne and Pike Counties in Pennsylvania turned into a 13-year legal nightmare. What started as a legitimate state-backed telecommunications project collapsed because Honesdale Borough failed to do its job, held up grant money for months, and left contractors unpaid. The result? Personal financial ruin, hundreds of good-paying jobs that never materialized, two unanimous jury verdicts in their favor, and a judge who allegedly tilted the scales to protect the borough. This is what happens when the local government faces zero accountability.Finally, Pam Bondi says “no one is above the law” except, apparently, those who steal elections and commit treason against the American people. While the DOJ sits on its hands, more videos surface of dead people voting and Democrats casting ballots in other people's names. This episode connects the dots between captured government, censored speech, and the quiet war being waged on the American people. Hard-hitting, no fluff, and exactly what you need to hear right now.

It's Monday, March 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian archbishop to Trump:  “Give us weapons” to “eradicate” Islamic terrorists Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, Nigeria called on the Trump administration to provide intelligence and weapons to the Nigerian government to help combat the brutal persecution of the country's Christians at the hands of Islamic terrorists, reports LifeSiteNews.com. During a March 20th press briefing hosted by Aid to the Church in Need as, Archbishop Kaigama praised Trump for being the first world leader to “clearly and unequivocally” declare that Nigerian Christians are being persecuted, reports EWTN. The archbishop emphasized, however, that Trump's remarks and his administration's December bombing in Nigeria have only emboldened Islamist terror groups, such as Boko Haram, to carry out more attacks on Christians. He called on the 47th president to share intelligence with and provide weapons to the Nigerian government to help them put an end to the persecution for good. Kaigama said, “I was glad when I heard Donald Trump say, ‘We are going to go to Nigeria; we are going to put an end to Boko Haram. At Christmas, we received a gift — a bomb that fell on Nigerian soil — and, truth be told, I could not say whether it did any good. “That incident, coupled with Donald Trump's words, has greatly inflamed the passions of the Islamists in that territory. The number of attacks, the number of kidnappings carried out by Boko Haram and other groups, has been rising ever since.” Islamic persecution of Christians in Nigeria tied to sharia law Persecution of Christians in Nigeria began to spike after 1999, when 12 northern states adopted Sharia law. The rise of the terrorist group Boko Haram in 2009 marked a dramatic escalation in the attacks. Famously, the group kidnapped hundreds of schoolgirls in 2014; 87 of them are still listed as “missing.” From 2009 to 2022, over 50,000 Christians were killed in the country. A 2024 report found that more than 8,000 Nigerian Christians were killed and thousands more were abducted in 2023 alone, making it the bloodiest year on record for Islamic attacks against Christians in the country. Sportscaster Stephen Smith calls out hypocritical Democrats Stephen A. Smith, the ESPN sportscaster, speaks the truth when he ventures into the political world. This time, he chastised Democrats for hypocritically complaining about President Donald Trump's willingness to do something about the growing Iranian threat. Listen. SMITH: “You got a lot of nerve to be in the face of the American people saying for numerous administration, ‘Iran is a problem. They have to be dealt with.'  And then this man deals with them, and then all of a sudden, you complaining about him now. It doesn't really make sense. It's a lack of consistency.” BILL CLINTON: “I am formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with Iran.” GEORGE W. BUSH: “Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsored terror from threatening America or our friends and allies.  Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.” BARACK OBAMA: “I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” JOE BIDEN: “Well, I can say to you, Iran will never get a nuclear weapon on my watch, as they say.” DONALD TRUMP:  “As President of the United States, I would never allow the world's number one state sponsor of terror to obtain a nuclear weapon. I said that for a long time, and I didn't.” 3,500 U.S. Troops arrive in Middle East as Iran war strikes intensify More than 3,500 U.S. troops, including the U.S.S. Tripoli with about 2,500 Marines, arrived in the Middle East, officials announced Saturday, as strikes in the Iran war intensified, reports CBS News. It's the most updated of the amphibious warships, known as a "big deck," which allows more room for F-35 Stealth Fighter Jets, Ospreys and other aircraft. The ship had previously been based in Japan when the order to deploy to the Middle East came almost two weeks ago. Corey Lewandowski out at Department of Homeland Security Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee who served as a top adviser to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, no longer has a role with the DHS, reports NewsNation.com. Last week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee called for an investigation, saying that almost immediately after entering the agency, Lewandowski “exercised outsized influence over DHS far beyond what a special government employee is authorized to do.” Lewandowski was the campaign manager for President Trump in 2016. Plus, according to the September 2021 report of conservative media outlet American Greatness, he had an extramarital affair with the married South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, for whom he had long been a political advisor. Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth reforms Chaplain Corps War Secretary Pete Hegseth says his latest reforms will allow the Chaplain Corps to fulfill its mission of being the spiritual backbone of America's military, reports The Western Journal. HEGSETH: “In previous administrations, our Chaplain Corps was infected by political correctness and secular humanism. The core functions of the Chaplain Corps were changed and watered down until they were viewed by many as nothing more than therapists. Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care. “The crucible of combat tests more than the body. It tests conviction, character and spirit. The military's Chaplain Corps serves as spiritual and moral backbone of our nation's armed forces. Chaplains help forge spiritual readiness across the force, and that matters because in combat, in crisis, and in loss, a war fighter needs more than a coping mechanism. “They need truth, ‘big T' truth. They need conviction. They need a shepherd. Spiritual health is equally important to a service member's physical and emotional health.” According to a War Department news release, the number of faith codes used in the service has been winnowed down to 31. In 2017, the Pentagon issued a list of 221 groups that qualified as a religious group. Oddly enough, the list included witches and atheists, according to Stars and Stripes. Hegseth said, “It was impractical and unusable, and many codes were never used at all.” He noted that 82% of service members, who identify as being religious, used six of the codes. The War Secretary added that the chaplains will display their religious insignia on their uniforms instead of their ranks. He said, “A chaplain is first and foremost a chaplain, and an officer second. This change is a visual representation of that fact.” Christian stewardess gave her life for passengers on sinking ship And finally, on March 30th, 1899, the steamship Stella, carrying 147 passengers and 43 crew. struck some rocks in a fog while sailing to Guernsey, the second largest island in the Channel Islands in the English Channel. Mary Rogers, a cheerful, kind, and hard-working stewardess, supervised the escape of a large number of women and relinquished her own life vest to the last of them and gave up her place in the lifeboat. Four lifeboats were successfully launched and one capsized. Raising her hands to Heaven, Mary Rogers yelled, “Lord, have me!” as the ship sank beneath her within eight minutes. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Or, in this case, absolute strangers.

She's already won a Bafta for her portrayal of a hoodoo healer in the Southern gothic, Sinners. But can British actress Wunmi Mosaku win an Oscar too? Mosaku says her role has helped her connect with her ancestry and find parts of herself she thought she had lost. Born in Nigeria in 1986, Wunmi moved to Manchester as a very young child, growing up in Hulme and Chorlton with her parents and two sisters. Her first taste of performing came aged seven when she joined Manchester Girls Choir which she remained a member of until she was eighteen. But it wasn't just singing where she excelled. Her sixth form drama teachers spotted her talent and she successfully auditioned for RADA. A decade after graduation she won her first Bafta for her portrayal of the mother of the murdered London schoolboy Damilola Taylor. American directors must have been watching as she began spending more time working stateside. She was cast in sci-fi series Lovecraft Country followed by a trip to Baltimore for a role in We Own This City. Then director Ryan Coogler got in touch and now she's tipped for an Oscar. Stephen Smith charts the rise and rise of Wunmi Mosaku.

The Hulu's series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family' has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh's behaviour with forensic precision.    Join in for Laura's new insights in this remastered series.  *** Laura shares final key events in the timeline including further federal and state financial charges against Murdaugh and the murder trial whereby Murdaugh admitted under oath that he stole from his clients and firm PMPED. However, after Murdaugh was convicted for murdering Maggie and Paul, curiously Murdaugh pled not guilty to the federal financial charges. Laura also discusses Murdaugh's statement to Judge Newman “I would never hurt my wife, Maggie, and I would never hurt my son, Paw Paw” as well as highlighting what happened to Murdaugh's cronies, Russell Laffitte and Cory Fleming, at their sentencing hearings. Laura shares her thoughts on Gloria Satterfield's so-called ‘trip and fall' and Murdaugh's lies regarding Gloria's death and settlement, as well as latest developments in Stephen Smith's terrible murder.

Jenny (00:02): I think is actually thought provoking. I've seen some conversation around the idea that there was this intentional move to make white women the face of this administration and to do it in a way that is you're woefully unprepared. You maybe even are intentionally ill prepared to take the fall and that that is not a new dynamic for white men. Rebecca (01:03): She really can't talk. Jenny (01:06): Okay. I'm sorry. We had just talked, so I was not prepared for your voice to sound like that. It sounds great. It sounds great. Yeah. (01:28): I know. I know, but I still wasn't ready. I'm sorry, friend. That sucks. You sound really sorry. (01:53): Yeah. No, I like this, Rebecca. I feel like this is so much about what I've been researching and writing for my book is what I'm calling the anatomy of a missionary and looking at how white women were set up as soft power for imperialism and the gender social role that white women serve abroad. I think we're experiencing now what Emma says calls the boomerang of imperialism. And so the roles that white women have taken on in the global south for 50 years plus, we're now seeing those higher levels of power, but it's not actually ... It is levels of power, but it's mostly levels in proximity to male power that are still above those women. So they're always going to be on the sacrificial block whenever they need to be more than the white males in those positions would be, is what I think. (03:05): I would call it a position of power so long as the performance is enacted to suit power. And I just read this really great article from Carrie Twigg about how Christine Nome essentially got fired because she couldn't perform on TV well. And Trump is looking to continue to build his media empire and use propaganda to get people to continue to stand behind him, and she didn't perform well. And so it is power so long as you don't mess up, but the second that you don't align yourself with the way that power wants you to. So it's a really precarious power, I would say. Rebecca (03:56): See, I would even say, I don't think that's why she got fired. I would say that- And there was no move to find someone that's actually qualified, who had a snowball's chance of performing well on the world stage. So that's why I'm like, I don't think it is as simple as she didn't perform well. She was never going to perform well. And you knew that when you picked her. And so to me, I'm like, what's that choice actually about? It's the same thing now. I heard on the news recently that (05:09): Erica Kirk just got appointed to be the chair of the Air Force. I don't know. Some committee, some task force that has something to do with the running of something to do with the Air Force. And all of my apologies for not getting this particular thing specifically right. But my thing is, what do you know about armed forces? Nothing. It's not like you're a former retired Air Force, whatever. You're not. You know nothing about any of this. So again, you're picking someone from jump, blonde-haired, blue-eyed female who is ill-prepared from the very beginning for this very public face of a very armed forces in the middle of a war and your pick is Erica Kirk. Really? What's that set up about? (06:25): I'm just saying when it goes left and it will, just like what happened with ICE, it's going to take this turn for the worst that you won't actually recover from. Now you have a sacrificial lamb. You can say that somebody lost their job over this and it makes it look like you are doing something to address a grave wrong and you're not. (07:12): And the sad part is that I saw something recently where Stephen Smith, that sports news guy has made this comment about Kamala Harris, like if I hear her say one more time, she told you so. And the thing that I think is interesting is like, you do have these women, in this case, a black woman, who actually has the credentials to weigh in on something in proximity or juxtaposition to these white women who don't have the credentials. And what is that about? Jenny (07:56): Well, again, I think it's part of that world and the role that white women have taken on, where it's this double bind where I would say it is privileged and power, or maybe privileged without the power, but it is still sacrificial and it always will be. And I think of like the qualifications, the men, many of them aren't qualified for the roles that they're taking on, but they're likely not going to be sacrificed in the same way that the women will. And I think part of that structure is the cult of domesticity, that white women represent this demure, trad wife aesthetic. So if you get these purity culture-esque white women up there, it's going to make sense in the psyche of people that have been conditioned in Christian nationalism to see this as innocent and pure and good and not question the impacts that those women are actually having in the decisions and the actions that they're doing. Rebecca (09:14): That makes a lot of sense in the case of Pam Bonding particularly and Danielle's going Epstein, Epstein, Epstein in chat. It's about the third time. Now it's in all caps, right? (09:38): Yeah. I think it makes a lot of sense in the case of Pam Bondi in the role she took on in the Epstein hearing and her just like, "No, I won't turn around and look at these women. No, I will not acknowledge." And if in the American psyche, that face, that voice, that body saying there's nothing to see here is acceptable, then we don't have to have this conversation anymore. Rebecca (10:16): Yeah. And I'm not sure anymore quite what to do with the Epstein files. There's a lot of energy around all of this is a distraction from that. And I have a hard time in my mind trying to figure out what is in it that is so bad that you would start a war so the story doesn't come out. What I can imagine is like, "Yeah, well, that isn't new and it won't surprise anybody." So what is there that I can't imagine if that's even a fair sort of frame for this? (11:08): I think people are getting lost in the binary of it's the Epstein Files or it's something else. I think it's absolutely that in part. And what is happening right now has been a fever dream of the Christian right since at least the 1970s and apocalyptic readings of the Book of Revelation and certain interpretations that have said, "If Israel takes over all of this land, then Jesus is going to come back," was the rhetoric I grew up with. After nine eleven, it was like most exciting that war was breaking out in the Middle East because this meant that we were ushering in the kingdom of God. And so that is not, not part of it, right? When the military gets sent these letters saying that God has ordained Trump and that    Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

We've all waited in an online queue to get a table at a busy restaurant or buy concert tickets for our favourite big artist. But what about waiting to see a doctor at the emergency room? A hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, ON., is offering their patients just that --and staff say it's cut their patient wait times in half. We speak with Dr. Stephen Smith, an ER physician and the vice president of medical affairs at the Sault Area Hospital, who came up with the idea after a family vacation at Disneyworld.

Does a talented person have a duty to serve others? What do leading citizens really need to live well, freely, impactfully—even greatly? How do we, parents and educators, order the educational goods? "When I think of Thomas More's life, writings, and example, I think: here are the materials we need to answer those questions." So says Dr. Stephen Smith, professor at Hillsdale College and co-director for the Center for Thomas More Studies. St. Thomas More not only provided a robust theory of education and duty in his writings, but also a praxis of that education by his heroic actions at the Tower of London in 1535. Dr. Smith joins us this week to discuss how More's life and education can be a pattern for our one-day leading citizens.

It's awards season - and one name that keeps cropping up is Teyana Taylor.She's nominated for her first Oscar, for her role in One Battle After Another, and has already won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and her latest album was just nominated for the Best R&B Grammy.For many, it would appear Taylor has burst on to the scene from nowhere - but for those who know her, these nominations are the culmination of more than two decades of work in the industry.Signed at just 15 to Pharrell's record label, appearing in a Jay-Z music video and choreographing a dance for Beyonce, her early years in New York's Harlem weren't exactly the usual teenage experience.Her 16th birthday was immortalised on the small screen as part of MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen series, before she released her first record and began acting. Now a mother-of-two, Taylor has released four albums to date, starred in her own reality TV series and will make her directorial debut next year.So, as Hollywood prepares for the award's night of the year, Stephen Smith examines how she got here.Production Team: Presenter: Stephen Smith Producers: Keiligh Baker and Katie Solleveld Production Coordinators: Maria Ogundele and Gemma Ashman Sound: James Beard Editor: Justine LangArchive: MTV The Golden Globes Warner Bros E!

The Hulu's series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family' has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh's behaviour with forensic precision.   Remember to listen to the new episodes and interviews with Mandy Matney, Erin Lee Carr, Liz Farrell and David Moses in the Crime Analyst Squad: patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst   ******   In this episode Laura starts her deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline. In the family's orbit, there are at least five dead bodies in six years, including Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach, and Maggie and Paul. However, Laura doesn't stop there. She takes a wide-angle lens approach to the case, tracing it back to the beginning of the Murdaugh family's reign of power and influence. This includes business partnerships with convicted drug traffickers and the suspicious death of a key federal witness just before he was due to give evidence.   As Laura continues her analysis, she also examines the shifting dynamics between Murdaugh and two significant women in his life. Both women begin questioning him about money, refusing to play by his rules. Additionally, Laura delves into the boat crash that resulted in Mallory Beach's death and a lawyer who was not afraid to hold Murdaugh accountable and ensure justice for the Beach family at all costs.   Overall, Laura's deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline is a shocking and eye-opening look at the dark side of power, control, and influence.

In this episode from June 2022—Investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ share revealing jailhouse phone calls that exposed Alex Murdaugh's true character months before his murder conviction. Hear Alex dismissively mention Stephen Smith and Gloria Satterfield by name, suggest Buster give away Maggie's belongings as Christmas gifts, and obsessively manipulate his family while positioning himself as the victim. Mandy and David add retrospective commentary on the recordings revealing textbook narcissistic patterns: blame-shifting, victim mentality, and seemingly an inability to express genuine remorse.Episode ReferencesMMP #33 - Incoming Call From Alex Murdaugh: The Jailhouse TapesMMP #49 - Incoming Call From Alex Murdaugh - Part TwoMMP #50 - Incoming Call From Alex Murdaugh - Part Three

Before Episode Six of Hulu's “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” releases this week, we're taking a moment to revisit one of our most pivotal episodes — MMP #84, first published on March 15, 2023 when our Luna Shark team was still reeling from the aftermath of Alex Murdaugh's double-murder trial.  Yet, even then, we knew the story wasn't over. This episode marks a reminder that accountability journalism doesn't end with a verdict… it begins there.Co-hosts and journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney take a look at the latest criticism of the murder investigation and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division — as well as Jim Griffin's strange post-trial social media presence and Russell Laffitte's defeats in the courtroom. Plus, you'll hear about the renewed fight for justice in Stephen Smith's case. This is a story about hope and heartbreak — about a community that refused to look away, and a mother, Sandy Smith, whose determination continues to inspire all of us.Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Producer David Moses reflects on episode published back in September of 2022 and shares his opinion on the persistent failures, lost evidence, and political fear that have stalled justice for nearly a decade. Listen to Cup of Justice #124 to learn more about the mysterious calls Eric Bland received from Randy Murdaugh and an anonymous 'journalist'. In this episode, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney confront the institutional cowardice that allowed a young man's murder to be buried under rumor and silence—and honor Sandy Smith's relentless fight for truth. With comments from Sandy's former attorney Mike Hemlepp, this episode connects Stephen's unsolved homicide to the broader collapse of trust in South Carolina's justice system. As dramatized in Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family, Stephen's story is no longer just about corruption—it's about courage.Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

In this powerful remastered episode, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney revisits Sandy Smith's 2016 letter to the FBI — the desperate plea of a mother who refused to let her son's death be forgotten. With new commentary, Mandy exposes how systemic neglect and media exploitation compounded Sandy's pain, even as she fought for the truth about Stephen's suspicious death. This episode tracks the turning points that brought new allies into Sandy's fight — attorney Mike Hemlepp's compassionate advocacy, SLED's renewed investigation, and the community's rallying support. Mandy also reflects on how Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family gives global voice to Stephen and Sandy's story, transforming private grief into public demand for justice.

In this haunting installment from November 10, 2021, journalist Mandy Matney revisits the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, exposing how South Carolina's Highway Patrol let the case go cold—and we ask why. Mandy's new commentary reveals how incompetence blurred into intentional avoidance and how political pressure protected the powerful. In this episode, we revisit the December 7, 2015 anonymous tip to South Carolina Highway Patrol, examine the December 9, 2015 alternative theory presented by Hampton law enforcement, and the eventual interview six months later which concluded the SCHP investigation into Stephen's brutal death. Stephen's story is no longer a rumor whispered down rural roads—it's a call for accountability.Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Welcome to Soundbites, the official LUNASHARK Premium recap hosted by Beth Braden, journalist and researcher for the True Sunlight Podcast. Normally, Soundbites is where our Premium community gets an exclusive, behind-the-scenes breakdown of the biggest stories from True Sunlight and Cup of Justice. But this month, we're sharing this episode on the public feed so everyone can catch up on the reporting. With Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family capturing national attention and our Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official Podcast climbing the charts, we wanted to make sure both longtime listeners and brand-new ones have a chance to step back, breathe, and understand how we got here. From the 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, to the still-unsolved death of Stephen Smith, to the heartbreaking story of Gloria Satterfield and the millions Alex Murdaugh stole from her family.   We're also releasing Remastered MMP Episodes on the True Sunlight feed, but this is a crash course for newcomers and a powerful reminder for our OG listeners of just how far we've come — and how much work is still ahead in the pursuit of truth and justice.Let's dive in! Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Join investigative journalist Mandy Matney, as we look back at how the Murdaugh name was brought up more than 40 times during the course of the investigation of Stephen Smith's death in 2015.  No suspects have been named to this day... but Mandy's original deep dive into the investigation file is so important to providing context on where the case stands today. As a result of their investigation into the homicides of Maggie and Paul, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) reopened Smith's 2015 death investigation, and once again publicly linked it to the Murdaugh name. Smith was found dead with severe head trauma, and rumors documented in the police investigation file implicated a connection to Buster Murdaugh and others. In this episode, we'll hear SCHP patrol investigator Todd Proctor interviewing several Hampton Kids about Stephen 's death... and we'll pull at those threads wherever they lead.... Let's dive in...

In this remastered episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Journalist Mandy Matney takes listeners deep into the perplexing and unsolved case of Stephen Smith—a 19-year-old nursing student whose suspicious death in 2015 continues to baffle both investigators and the community of Hampton County, South Carolina. Matney begins by recalling her first encounter with Sandy Smith, Stephen's dedicated mother who, frustrated by an apparent lack of official progress, compiled her own exhaustive documentation of her son's case. Mandy shines a light on the systemic issues of jurisdictional confusion, overlooked leads, and possible interference that have plagued the investigation from the beginning.  The Smith family still has hope for justice as Sandy offers a $50,000 reward for valid information leading to an arrest. On today's episode, you'll also hear from Stephen's mom about the kind person he was and listen to police interviews that take several wild turns...

As Hulu prepares to premiere its original series “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” on October 15th, investigative journalist Mandy Matney and the LUNASHARK team revisit the pivotal cases that have gripped the Lowcountry and the nation. This special release is part of a curated collection of 40 episodes, remastered and re-released over the next eight weeks, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the reporting and real events that inspired the Hulu series.On this very first episode, released on June 22, 2021, Mandy Matney discusses the Murdaugh family's history and recent tragedies, including the 2019 boat crash involving Paul Murdaugh, the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, and the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield. We detail the double homicide of Paul and his mother Maggie on June 7th 2021, noting the involvement of SLED due to potential conflicts of interest with local law enforcement. At this point in time, Alex Murdaugh, the family patriarch, is a person of interest but provided an alibi that would later implode due to good police work and some dogged reporting holding those agencies accountable.In order to understand the double homicide investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, we need to understand the Murdaugh family, their power in South Carolina and the three mysterious deaths tied to them...

When Maggie and Paul Murdaugh are killed on their family's estate in 2021, the investigation unravels a history of privilege, corruption, and suspicious deaths tied to one of South Carolina's most influential families. But beneath the headlines and courtroom drama are stories of people who never got justice, mysteries still unsolved, and a justice system that let one family operate above the law for nearly a century. As appeals move forward and the possibility of a new trial looms, one question remains – why would a man who had everything risk it all by brutally murdering his own family? Additional infoStephen SmithIn 2023, South Carolina law enforcement officially declared Stephen Smith's death a homicide, rather than a traffic accident, but still, it's never been fully explained and no one has ever been arrested in connection with it. If you know anything about his roadside death in July of 2015, please reach out to South Carolina Law Enforcement. Mallory BeachMallory's family was eventually able to settle a lawsuit with one of the places that served Paul that night, with Maggie's estate and with Buster. No one has ever been put behind bars.Gloria SatterfieldGloria's body has purportedly yet to be exhumed. The criminal investigation into her death is ongoing.  Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
