Ralph welcomes RJ Cross from USPIRG to discuss the Trouble in Toyland 2025 report. Then, Ralph speaks with truck safety activist Marianne Karth about the need for stronger truck safety regulation. Plus, the RNRH team has a spirited debate about spectator sports.R.J. Cross is the Director of the Our Online Life program, Don't Sell My Data campaign, and U.S. PIRG Education Fund. Her work as a writer and researcher ranges from the risks of commercialization of personal data, to consumer harms like scams and data breaches, to emerging threats from AI. In her work as a Policy Analyst at Frontier Group, she has authored research reports on government transparency, consumer debt and predatory auto lending, and has testified before Congress.A lot of the toys we found either claim to be or are using one of OpenAI's chatbots. Even though OpenAI has said that its products are not for kids under the age of 13—but they're allowing their chatbots to be used in toys, which are products by definition for children. So there's a real discrepancy here. OpenAI's just not taking nearly as much responsibility for these failures as we think they should be. And then the toymakers are clearly just moving way too fast and really are not putting out products that are ready for primetime.R.J. CrossThat's what the attitude has been: we put it out, we watch what happens, and then we make adjustments as the public or as regulators demand it to happen. So I think that dynamic is terrible. I think it's really harmful. We'd much rather we see the precautionary principle—which is where a company should take safety really, really seriously up front and do more holistic testing before it releases to the public. But so far, that's not really the attitude you see, especially in Silicon Valley.R.J. CrossFor as challenging as working with Congress is these days (and even as across the political spectrum it's hard to find something to agree on) I think “AI-powered teddy bears should not talk to your kids about sex” has been very effective. Everyone can be on the same page about that, right? And so it's been really fun to get to talk to all sorts of decisionmakers and media outlets, who—everyone wants to tell the same story that this is not okay and big tech isn't taking safety seriously. Everyone agrees on that.R.J. CrossMarianne Karth graduated from the University of Michigan School of Public Health with an MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education in 1979. She worked for a variety of nonprofit organizations in program administration before raising and teaching her nine children at home. After losing two of her daughters in a car crash in 2013, Karth and her husband, Jerry Karth, became involved in advocacy for safer trucks and changes to truck underride regulations.There's often a “blame the victim” [narrative] that goes on and [policymakers] say it's not their responsibility. And they'll say it's often the fault of the four-wheeler. They basically do not want to take responsibility for it. And part of the problem is that for underride protection, it's not like crash-worthy features like seatbelts or airbags that are on the vehicle that's being protected. It's on the vehicle that we collide with. By the way, when an underride occurs, it cancels out all the effectiveness of all those crash-worthy features built into cars.Marianne KarthUnderride deaths are very undercounted because there's not even a checkbox in most state crash report forms for underride. So it's very undercounted, but there are, at minimum, 600 per year. And this is a known, unreasonable risk. And engineers who love to solve problems—they've solved the problem. They know how to solve the problem. So it's a preventable problem.Marianne KarthFor years we've been urging our listeners to form these Congress watchdog groups. It can start small and build from a letterhead, really get the attention of their members, summon their members to town meetings created by the citizenry with their own agenda, and confront their Senators and Representatives directly… See what you can do in your congressional district. No one can stop you from doing that, for heaven's sake. You always have to start the struggle for justice in ways that nobody can stop you.Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Aaron came up with an idea to compare two versions of Babes in Toyland with bestie Jay. In this long episode (not sorry), the trio talk about the insanity of this story with two batshit crazy movies that each have their problems, but also moments of pure camp.But seriously, does anyone know how they did that water moment in the 1961 movie?Beards and Sundries Website: https://beardsandsundries.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_PAqW-08AQuDRO8ocIF8wwYgQCaNOEnOLsJs-Nm5ASBJgDVT0nQl6LWmh6A_aem_fo66Huu5s0Ivb5kWPLSN4QAaron's Socials: @trueaaronchoiAaron's Twitch: @truechoistoryPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: Spirited (2022)!

If you haven't taken an edible already - BUCKLE UP! Come along as we go to Toy Land and meet all of the classic Nursey Rhyme characters. There's Mother Goose and her literal live goose wearing a bow; Little Bo Peep, who everyone in town wants to make their child bride; Tom Tom, who's apparently NOT Peter Pan and is instead the Pied Piper(!?); The Three Little Pigs who WILL give you nightmares; and the rest of the nightmare infused characters!

We've got a demonic knock-off Mickey Mouse, funny physical comedy, and endless questions all wrapped up into this strange movie that we all simultaneously forgot existed until we put it on to watch! Released in 1934, it was originally titled "Babes in Toyland" and stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Trouble in Toyland! An AI-powered teddy bear was caught teaching kids how to light matches. Other AI-powered toys were also placed in a time-out after reports of the chatbot-powered toys helped kids find sexually explicit content ... and lethal objects, according to ABC. ABC Tech Reporter Mike Dobuski joins the show to discuss what parents need to know about these AI toys and the dangers, as the kinks in AI are still being worked out.

This edition of Crosstalk was directed at parents, encouraging them to be aware of those things that are ever present and designed to lure children away from you and biblical values. As 1 Peter 5:8 says: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." You'll see precisely how this is playing out as Jim presented examples ranging from pornography to video games, as well as those things that are relying more and more on artificial intelligence. For example: A New York school gets caught promoting online pornography as art and attempts to conceal the attempt from parents. An Oregon father outraged after discovering his 11 year old son was slated to receive a state-issued sexual orientation and gender identity survey that asked children to identify their sexual orientation and gender identity and whether they are transgender. Hundreds of children are set to be vaccinated with puberty blockers in the first UK, National Health Service (NHS)-backed experiment of its kind. The latest news on the connection between video games and aggression. A report from the Public Interest Research Group called, Trouble in Toyland 2025, says choking hazards and lead used to be the greatest toy-related threats. While those are still concerns, today it's toys that are powered by artificial intelligence or that contain toxic elements. There's more that Jim will share. So if it's your desire to raise your children in "...the nurture and admonition of the Lord," (Ephesians 6:4) don't miss this broadcast!

Chris and Alex make their first foray into the world of Laurel and Hardy with this reflection on Babes in Toyland (Gus Meins and Charles Rogers, 1934), a film based loosely on the Mother Goose fairytale albeit with a few other nursery rhyme characters thrown in for good measure, all supported by the iconicity of Laurel and Hardy and the duo's particular brand of slapstick comedy. Joining them to separate their Tom-Tom Piper from their Bo Peep is Rob King, Professor of Film at Columbia University and a film historian who has written wildly on American genre cinema, popular culture, and cultural history with a particular emphasis on silent-era stardom and comedy. Topics for Episode 163 include Laurel and Hardy's starring role in smoothing out the transition from silent to sound cinema, and the early twentieth-century industrial importance of the slapstick genre; the sound of fantasy and the demise of the comedy short in Hollywood; the immersive worlds of childhood and the enchantment of drawings; toys, toyness, and child's play; and what Babes in Toyland has to say about the emergence of consumer culture through its pointed citation of Mickey Mouse. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

The legendary comedic duo Laurel & Hardy have a very dedicated fanbase. But will a relic toy soldier from their 1934 film, Babes in Toyland, have the owner laughing all the way to the bank? We follow one soldier's march from appraisal to the auction block, to find out what it's really worth. Along the way Adam crashes a meeting of the international Laurel and Hardy fan club - yes you read that correctly -- and tracks down the one other soldier known to survive from the film.

We're joined by actress/singer/dancer Ann Jillian who takes us on an extraordinary journey which begins as her parents escape Soviet-Occupied Lithuania and continues into the Hollywood soundstages that launch Ann's career as a child star in Gypsy and Babes in Toyland and then winds towards her adult career as a beloved Hollywood icon.Ann shares the powerful story of her family's flight across war-torn Europe on bicycles, aided by her mother's multilingual savvy, which helped them dodge bullets and bombs and navigate a perilous path to safety. Settling in America was more than a fresh start, it was a dream realized. Ann recalls the deep pride her parents felt the day they became U.S. citizens and she reflects on her show biz beginnings, first in commercials (she was a Chevrolet girl!), then, playing Bo Peep in Babes in Toyland, leading to the stage name bestowed upon her by Mr. Walt Disney! and landing the role of Dainty June in Gypsy, where she gained an even deeper appreciation of her own mother who was NOT a Mama Rose. Ann tells us how education was valued for Disney child stars, she shares her mother's wisdom on dealing with jealousies and she tells us about the treasured momento she received from her dear friend in Natalie Wood.She also discusses her battle with breast cancer, her triumphant return to work, the joy in becoming a mother and the fabulously funny and romantic 'how we met story' featuring herself and her husband of 50 years, Andy.And IMDB Roulette  this week takes us on a journey around Mayfield, into the Twilight Zone and through a time when TV movies tackled important social issues.In recommendations --Fritz: Britbox Mini Series, OutrageousWeezy: Netflix Series, Son of a CritchPath Points of Interest:Ann Jillian on WikipediaAnn Jillian on IMDBAnn Jillian on Amazon OutrageousSon of a CritchMedia Path PodcastMedia Path on FacebookMedia Path on InstagramMedia Path on XMedia Path on Bluesky

Join Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey as they tumble down the rabbit hole in their Reaction & Review of Disney's classic 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland, the whimsical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske, this iconic Disney feature brings to life a vibrant world of dreamlike wonder and eccentric characters. Kathryn Beaumont (who also voiced Wendy in Peter Pan) stars as Alice, the curious young girl who follows the White Rabbit (voiced by Bill Thompson, Lady and the Tramp) into a surreal fantasy realm. The film features Ed Wynn (Mary Poppins, Babes in Toyland) as the delightfully unhinged Mad Hatter, Jerry Colonna as the March Hare, Verna Felton (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty) as the Queen of Hearts, and Sterling Holloway (The Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh) as the ever-smiling Cheshire Cat. From the unforgettable “Unbirthday” tea party to the chaotic croquet match with the Queen, to the psychedelic musical number “In a World of My Own,” Alice in Wonderland is a landmark in animation history and Disney storytelling. With its surreal visuals, memorable voice work, and musical charm, this version of Alice's adventures remains a fan favorite and continues to inspire generations. Dive in with us as we explore the legacy, characters, and most famous moments of this curious and curiouser Disney classic!
