It was an absolute pleasure hosting @BowTiedRebels last night. We got to know each other and chopped it up about politics. We're both Trump supporters, but look at things from slightly different angles. He's got more of a Marjorie Taylor Greene point of view. I'm the former Democrat who crossed over due to the culture wars. I learned a lot speaking with him, and had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we welcome back friend of the show and #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans. Best known for The Christmas Box, Richard has written an incredible 41 consecutive New York Times bestsellers, with more than 35 million copies in print and translations in over 22 languages. His newest novel, The Christmas Stranger, reminds us that sometimes the universe sends us exactly who we need. After losing his family on Christmas Eve, Paul Wanlass has given up on life—until an unexpected visitor appears at his door, setting off a series of events that rekindle hope, healing, and the true meaning of Christmas. Join us as Richard shares the inspiration behind his latest story, the themes of redemption that run through his work, and how faith and connection continue to shape his writing.

On this week-in-review, Crystal Fincher and Robert Cruickshank discuss:

Our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvre-view continues with two  1955 liberal institutional melodramas: Stanley Kramer's Not as a Stranger, starring Robert Mitchum as a monomaniacally idealistic doctor, Olivia de Havilland as the wife he takes for granted, and Gloria as the Other Woman; and Vincente Minnelli's underrated The Cobweb, starring Richard Widmark as a monomaniacally idealistic psychiatrist, Gloria (in one of her best roles) as the wife he takes for granted, and Lauren Bacall as the Other Woman. The relatively counter-intuitive casting of the latter film is an indication of its greater subtlety, but the pairing of the two makes (so we hope) for interesting discussion. And then in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we say goodbye to Diane Keaton (belatedly, by the time this episode will go up) with a viewing of Annie Hall and ask whether either its "feminist" or its "misogynous" reputations are deserved.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    NOT AS A STRANGER (1955) [dir.

he had found a new home in the boarding school.Sr: Ана и Ненад су изграђивали пријатељство које је било више од обичног познанства.En: Ana and Nenad built a friendship that was more than a mere acquaintance.Sr: Постали су важни једно другом.En: They became important to each other.Sr: Да би Ненад дочекују у свом новом дому и учврстио своје место у новом свету, требало је мало храбрости и, наравно, мало помоћи од пријатеља.En: For Nenad to settle into his new home and cement his place in his new world, it took a bit of courage, and of course, a little help from friends.Sr: Сада, Ненад није само пронашао своје место у школи, већ је постао нова, самопоуздана верзија себе.En: Now, Nenad not only found his place at school but became a new, confident version of himself.Sr: Листови су и даље падали, али их више није видео само као пролазност и промену већ као део живота којим сада слободно корача.En: The leaves were still falling, but he no longer saw them only as transience and change but as part of the life he now walked through freely.

Heute geht's um Predator: Badlands – was ihn von anderen Predator-Filmen unterscheidet, warum uns die Härte und die vom Predator ausgehende Bedrohung fehlt und für wen der Film dennoch funktionieren kann. Die Frage, die über allem schwebt: Ist das noch ein Predator-Film oder nur noch ein typischer Kinderfilm aus dem Hause des Mutterkonzerns Disney? Im Anschluss sprechen wir dann noch über Guillermo del Toros Frankenstein (mit Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz), Das Millionenspiel (nach Robert Sheckley) und Orson Welles' The Stranger. Falls ihr euch wirklich für das Predator-Franchise interessiert und mehr dazu hören wollt: In Folge 69 haben wir intensiv über Prey (ebenfalls von Dan Trachtenberg) gesprochen.

He was just a kid—bullied, lonely, and trying to sleep it all away. But one night, his sleep went too deep. He floated out of his body, weightless, surrounded by blinding white light. His life flashed before his eyes… then came the jolt. Darkness. Breathless silence. Six minutes without air—and somehow, he came back. That's when the world started to shift. Doors moved on their own. Toilets flushed in empty rooms. And when his grandfather died in the same bed he slept in, something unseen stayed behind. Years later, walking home from school, he found himself cornered by a gang. A knife gleamed. No one was there to help—until an old man appeared out of nowhere, shouting one word: Run. He did. And when he looked back, both the attackers and the man were gone. Maybe it was coincidence. Maybe sleep deprivation. Or maybe the bond between life and death isn't as final as we think. Because some people come back from the light—and something follows them home. #RealGhostStories #NearDeathExperience #GuardianSpirit #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedLife #TrueGhostStory #DivineIntervention #Supernatural #Afterlife #CreepyStories #GhostlyPresence #BeyondTheGrave Love real ghost stories?

In this week's episode, I'm sharing a story that unfolded in my local park — one of those moments where instinct, practice experience, and humanity collided.After intervening in what appeared to be a domestically abusive situation, I walked away thinking about the one message every child, every adult, and every social worker needs to hear more often: “It's not your fault.”In this episode, I talk about: • Why this message matters more than we realise • How systems, culture and upbringing shape our silence • The tension between speaking up vs staying quiet • The role social work skills play when things unfold in real time • How we help children (and ourselves) disconnect shame from experience • The importance of naming abuse with clarity, confidence and compassionInside the Social Work Collective Academy, we're exploring confidence, regulation and reflective practice through our 12-week Confidence in Practice Journey — and this episode connects deeply to that work.If you want weekly guidance, bitesize practice support, domestic abuse training, court skills, child protection process refreshers and access to our December Masterclass on OFSTED, you can join the Academy anytime here. Lets connect!To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses or membership email vicki@socialworksorted.com Sign up to my free newsletter Join The Collective Ebook Guides Email: vicki@socialworksorted.comLinkedIn: Vicki Shevlin Instagram.com/@vickishevlin_Youtube.com/@socialworksortedFacebook.com/socialworksortedDisclaimer Thank you so much for listening.

"In war and battle, this is the way to do your part."Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by the Athenian Stranger and Johnathan Bi to introduce the Gorgias and discuss the first part: the dialogue of Gorgias and Socrates.What begins as a polite inquiry into the nature of rhetoric erupts into a war for the soul of Athens—and for every reader seeking the good life. Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Visit our COLLECTION OF GUIDES to the great books. Visit Athenian Stranger.Visit Johnathan Bi.Athenian Stranger frames the conflict as two competing “technologies” of speech: Gorgias' art that grants “freedom for oneself and empire over everyone else” (452d) versus Socrates' dialectical practice that knows “the natures and causes of things” (464b–465a). The dialogue's three-part structure—shortest with reserved Gorgias, medium with spirited Polus, longest with shameless Callicles—spirals downward, exposing pleonexia (infinite grasping desire) beneath all three souls. Dcn. Harrison Garlick underscores the dialogue's raw honesty: Athenian youth, like us, faced a nihilistic void after the gods' decline, craving tyranny over truth. Philosophical gems abound—“better to be harmed than harm,” “better to be punished than escape justice”—while the pastry-baker analogy brands rhetoric without philosophy as mere flattery. The world that Socrates is engaging with is far more like our world than I think I realized… nihilism as a modern phenomenon? You see this really with the young men of Athens too.” - Dcn. Harrison Garlick“We all have erotic longings. The question is, they of the noble things that separate us from the beasts or are they of the bodily pleasures?” - Athenian StrangerNext episode: Polus defends raw power with Dr. Matthew Bianco (Circe Institute).

Today we feature a live event that Top Docs held a few weeks ago at the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (where our co-host Ken Jacobson serves as Executive Director).  After Ken and Mike talk about the origins of Top Docs and some of the memorable moments over the years, Joshua Seftel, who has previously appeared on the pod for his Oscar-nominated “Stranger at the Gate,”  joins them to discuss his new short for Netflix, “All the Empty Rooms.”  Joshua followed CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp as they spent 7 years documenting the bedrooms of children killed in school shootings, rooms their parents have preserved over as many as 17 years as they were on the day of the tragedy.  The film reveals that rather than just memorials to the past, the rooms provide solace mingled with ongoing pain in the present, and intimate the possible lost futures of the victims.   You can watch “All the Empty Rooms” on Netflix starting December 2nd.   Follow: @jrseftel on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X/twitter     The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

A shocking phone call after a routine medical exam. Despite no symptoms, Sharon's husband had advanced kidney disease and he would die without a transplant. She shares the deeply personal story of a stranger saving Chris's life, and what it taught her about the selflessness of others. Plus, her fascinating conversation with Colin Woodard, author of Nations Apart, who goes back generations to explain why America is so polarized, and tells us what we can do about it.  And Sharon answers your most pressing questions: Will the U.S. take military action in Nigeria because of Christian persecution?  How can the richest country in the world be so much in debt?  Can government officials use taxpayer-funded websites for partisan attacks? If you'd like to submit a question, head to thepreamble.com/podcast – we'd love to hear from you there. And be sure to read our weekly magazine at ThePreamble.com – it's free!

The Merchant of Venice; Act 3, Scene 1 ShylockNovember 10, 2025 The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.” Actor and storyteller Saul Rubinek takes us inside his one-man show Playing Shylock, now on stage at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center in New York City. Rubinek explores Shylock's confounding genesis and reveals why one of Shakespeare's so-called “minor” roles continues to be one of the most groundbreaking, misunderstood and controversial characters in theater history.

One way to please God and show his heart for all people is to invite. To ask a simple question: “Would you like to come for coffee?” can negate a lifetime of rejections. To think, "they aren't like me" can make us hesitate to invite. The biblical definition of hospitality means to invite the stranger and some may be a little strange! At least different from how we live, that's for sure. Jesus told us what love is when he told the story of the good Samaritan. I love that story and I'm always a little convicted! How about you? Is it a risk to invite someone you don't know? God will give you the courage if he  is leading the way.  Some thoughts from today's podcast What kind of courage does it take to invite a stranger? It takes a Paul-courage, a Peter-courage, a Samson-courage, a Joshua-courage. You might think hospitality means having your friends over. It does. But it's so much bigger and grander. Another way to explain what God means by hospitality is to give without a thought of receiving anything in return. Someone said, “Share the Gospel. Use words if necessary.” I would add, “Share your life. Make soup and maybe brownies.” To invite a stranger into your home and out of their life—for just a few hours—creates a sacred space and isn't far from holy living. We miss you, Doug!

Stephanie Wilson continues The Familiar Stranger series with a powerful message that speaks to the reality of suffering in the human experience. She reminds us that suffering isn't evidence of God's absence but the very place where God meets us—the Holy Spirit groaning with us, comforting us in our pain, and bringing new life through our struggles. This healing presence leads to profound redemption, where scars become means of grace, wounds expand our capacity for love, and our hope in Jesus assures us that suffering is never the final word in our story. This recording also includes a Remembrance Sunday Prayer, some notices on upcoming gatherings plus a special honouring of Ian & Libby Ryans as they step down from 8 years of leading our Farmbox ministry.

Stephanie Azzarello was dying. To survive, doctors told her she needed to find someone willing to donate part of their liver. Her story went out on social media and late one night, it reached the phone of a nurse and mother in Portland Oregon. There was something about Stephanie's story that made Trisha Beard want to help. Liz Hoath brings us this story about two women whose lives became intertwined because of an act of generosity. Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

Bobby shares how he is feeling going into surgery today and the awful way he's had to prepare for it. He also shared his irrational fear of what the doctors might do to him. A listener left a message for Amy that was a wake up call for her as she is now really worried she could be going to jail. A woman met a man named on a bachelorette trip and casually invited him to her wedding. That's only one layer in this story that gets crazier and crazier that Lunchbox tells us about. In the Anonymous Inbox, we help a listener who was asked to be a maid of honor for a friend that she is not that close with. She was surprised and said yes but now regrets it. What can she do now?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Blue Jays had the entire country in a chokehold… but did we really care? This week, Kayla and Stacey unpack why baseball was such a big deal in Canada, and how watching the final game dragged them into a world of new & unpopular opinions. Then, the girls plan a cozy scary-movie night, only for Stacey's popcorn obsession to almost cause a full-on disaster. They spiral into a convo about therapy (they swear they're advocates, even though neither of them actually go), and just when the night feels like a write-off, a mysterious stranger named Hernan swoops in and saves the evening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For this special spooky episode, we came dressed for the occasion to share some of our listeners' most terrifying real life stories. We start with our own spooky life updates, including Erin's overstimulating trick-or-treating experience and Mike's preparations for his first Halloween handing out candy. We also revisit our own brushes with the paranormal, from Erin growing up in a haunted house where she'd see the ghost of a young girl , to Mike's high school adventures searching for ghosts from the pages of "Weird New Jersey". Then, we dive into the chilling stories you sent in, and we have to warn you, they might give you nightmares. We read about a college student who woke in the middle of the night to find a stranger sitting on the end of her bed , a harrowing late night drive that was interrupted by a man wielding a sledgehammer, and multiple tales of children seeing things that aren't there—like the ghost of a "lady in white" at a summer camp and a baby reaching for an unseen figure in a closet. We also share the incredibly eerie story of a daughter's strange premonition at the haunted Stanley Hotel that coincided with a friend's unexpected passing , and a dream that led to a cherished text message mysteriously disappearing forever. Even Dan, who is never scared, shares a truly unsettling experience from his days working alone in a claustrophobic steel mill chute where he came face-to-face with something inexplicable. We also explore the haunted history of Camp Randall Stadium , the curse of Billy Penn that haunted Philadelphia sports for 20 years , the real-life story of the Annabelle doll and the paranormal investigator who died suddenly while touring with it , and the modern-day spookiness of a viral AI-generated social media account that looks frighteningly real. Finally, to cleanse the palate, we end with a much needed compilation of adorable dogs in Halloween costumes.

#656: What would you do if someone in authority told you to do something that felt wrong? Most of us like to think we'd speak up, push back, stand our ground. But research tells a very different story. In fact, when Yale researchers conducted a famous experiment in the 1960s, they found that 65% of people would administer what they believed to be deadly electric shocks to another human being... simply because someone in a lab coat told them to. Today's guest has spent over 15 years studying why humans comply with authority - even when every fiber of our being is screaming that we shouldn't. And when it comes to our money, this tendency to comply with authority figures - from financial advisors to real estate agents to car salespeople - can cost us dearly. Dr. Sunita Sah began her career as a physician in the UK's National Health Service. During one particularly exhausting period as a junior doctor, she agreed to meet with a financial advisor who had contacted her at work. That meeting sparked questions that would shape the rest of her career: Why did she feel pressured to trust this advisor, even after learning he had a conflict of interest? Today, she's a tenured professor at Cornell University, where her groundbreaking research on compliance and influence has been featured in The New York Times and Scientific American. She's advised government agencies, served on the National Commission on Forensic Science, and helps leaders understand the psychology behind why we say "yes" when we really want to say "no." Whether you're meeting with a financial advisor, negotiating the price of a home, or discussing rates with a contractor, understanding the psychology of compliance could save you thousands of dollars - and help you make better financial decisions. Today's conversation isn't just about psychology - it's about protecting your wealth by learning when and how to say "no."
