Yes, Carnival Personnel Podcast has been on for over nine years! Now let's never speak of this again. Jacques and Joe host another Biff-Free episode, with topics like Jacques hosting a comedy night with Steve Sweeney and Lenny Clarke, the World Cup coming to Boston, and Jacques preparing to drive cross-country with his older son to tour colleges in Southern California. Joe brags about his better half working on the Apple TV comedy-horror hit "Widow's Bay" and gives his first--and likely last--parenting tip of 2026 (also TV-related).

In this powerful first-hand account, journalist Steve Sweeney describes surviving a deliberate Israeli airstrike that targeted him and his colleague while reporting for RT News in south Lebanon – a targeted attack on journalists that can only be described as a war crime. The attempt on Comrade Sweeney's life was unsuccessful, but left him with a shrapnel wound through his left arm, and Steve explains exactly why he believes Israel knew who and where they were. He and his crew were filming at the destroyed Kazmiyeh Bridge, in full view of a Lebanese military post whose occupants had cleared them for filming. Beyond his personal experience, Sweeney provides crucial on-the-ground reporting about Israel's latest ethnic-cleansing operation. This time on a scale even larger than the 1948 Nakba. The systematic destruction of bridges to cut off southern Lebanon from the rest of the country, and the displacement of one million people (20 percent of Lebanon's population) are all part of a long-held Israeli objective of seizing all Lebanese land to the south of the Litani River – a part of the Greater Israel project. Steve exposes how the Israelis, just as they did for more than two years in Gaza, are routinely and relentlessly destroying civilian infrastructure. He also documents the heroic work of Lebanese health workers, who themselves are being systematically targeted. And he reports on the fierce resistance being mounted by Hezbollah forces, who have already destroyed more than 30 Israeli tanks and are using guerrilla tactics to prevent the zionists from succeeding in their goal of establishing a physical occupation.

Steve Sweeney: Report from the frontline in Lebanon Comrade Steve Sweeney reports from just metres from the frontline in Qiyam, Lebanon, where fierce battles are raging between Israeli forces and Hezbollah resistance fighters. With fighter jets roaring overhead and explosions marking the landscape, this report breaks down the strategic importance of the Qiyam ridge, the heavy losses being inflicted on Israeli invaders (including 20 destroyed Merkava tanks), and why history suggests Israel's ground invasion will ultimately face the same fate as its 2006 defeat. ______________________________________________ 0:00 On the Front Lines 0:17 Strategic Stakes 0:36 Israeli Ground Operations 0:53 Heavy Losses 1:10 The Invasion Buildup 1:27 Historical Context 2:04 Ceasefire Violations & Resistance Strength 2:21 The Qiyam Graveyard ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o37zVP0Iasc 3 Nov 2025 Garland Nixon and Joti Brar Reproduced from @garlandn with thanks. https://www.youtube.com/live/s5PZ-dxlcpo Joti Brar: Today I spoke with Garland Nixon about the ramping up of attempts by the British state to silence all dissent on the question of zionist genocide and the Palestinian freedom struggle. As it resorts to ever more fascistic and heavy-handed policing against journalists, political figures and health workers in particular, we are seeing not its strength but signs of the regime's weakness and the system's decay. Why is the General Medical Council being weaponised? Why is the government doubling down and continuing to insist on its promotion of a concept of ‘antisemitism' that has been thoroughly exposed in the eyes of all thinking people? Why does it continue to insist that support for Palestinian resistance = terrorism? We talked about the case of Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, cleared by one tribunal of any activity that should prevent her from practising medicine, and then immediately called to a new hearing despite no new ‘offence' having been committed – essentially in response to the health minister Wes Streeting kicking up a stink about the verdict. What is the role of the official Palestine solidarity and trade union movement leadership in all this? Why is Dr Aladwan being vilified in the media and used as a test case by the ruling class? Why is Wes Streeting so desperate to make sure that the (zionist) IHRA's ‘definition of antisemitism' is rolled out across the entire NHS? What it it about medics speaking up for Palestine that has the ruling class so jumpy? And, as the detaining of our comrade and RT journalist Steve Sweeney shows us: how long before this entire machinery of islamophobic and genocide-enabling repression is aimed at the beating heart of the anti-imperialist movement – the communists?

Creating a comedy special pushes comedians to write new material. Authenticity in comedy comes from evolving your material over time. Performance is crucial; delivery can make or break a joke. Generational differences affect what people find funny. Navigating sensitive topics in comedy is a significant challenge. Writing comedy is about finding your unique voice. Improv skills enhance a comedian's ability to engage the audience. AI can assist in the writing process but should not replace creativity. The comedy scene is saturated; finding quality shows can be difficult. AI challenges our perception of reality and authenticity. Comedy provides a unique connection and joy to audiences.

Politics in New Jersey is becoming must see. We're currently embroiled in the "Tammy Murphy versus Andy Kim" Senate primary that's getting nastier by the day. Soon we'll have the governor's race, where Steve Fulop, Ras Baraka, and Steve Sweeney have already joined, with more rumored to be eyeing the prize. It's a crazy time.That made me think: how much do WE here at NJITW know about the structure of NJ politics? I decided to put Nick and Mike (and myself) through some basic state focused civics quizzing for fun, to see where we're at knowledge-wise, and to encourage our listeners to go brush up on their related knowledge as well.Little did I know that at some point we would say a name that would set Bonadooch off on the most Bonadooch tirade this show has ever seen.

In today's second hour, Dom welcomes in viral Philadelphia YouTuber and Instagram personality Philly Captain back onto the Dom Giordano Program to address an article that popped up by the Philadelphia Citizen that argues that those who create what they deem ‘Trauma Porn' need to be held accountable. Philly Captain, who's mentioned and exposed in the article after appearing on the Dom Giordano Program in the past, explains why he makes the videos. Captain makes a great point, explaining that he believes the true victims are the innocent families and children who have to grow up with this as a regular part of their lives. Then, Dom welcomes New Jersey State Senator Ed Durr of Gloucester County to discuss a bill passed by New Jersey lawmakers that will overhaul rules to get carry permits for firearms, making it nearly impossible for people to exercise their constitutional 2nd Amendment right. Durr explains his disappointment in such a bill, explaining why he finds the 2nd Amendment so important to our Democracy. Also, Giordano offers up a justification presented by Democrats, asking Durr whether he believes this move would make schools safer, which Durr disagrees with. Also, Durr tells us his thoughts on a potential future run for former opponent Sen. Steve Sweeney, and tells about a new fundraising effort he's launched. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

When Steve Sweeney was growing up in Boston, the last thing he expected to become was an entertainer. He rubbed elbows with career criminals in Charlestown but somehow wound up doing summertime productions of Shakespeare plays and seeing actors like Lawrence Olivier and Christopher Plummer. Acting then led to exposure to comedy, which later led to cocaine-induced psychosis, and eventually to working in jails and with at-risk youth. Steve talks with Marc about the journey to build his act and why he enjoys producing his own projects now, including his new movie Sweeney Killing Sweeney.
