An entertaining, heartwarming memoir detailing the adventures and valuable life lessons learned from the author's four decades of friendship with Ozzy Osbourne and the Osbourne family.Stephen Rea was born in Northern Ireland in 1969, the same year "The Troubles" began. Violence was everywhere. His grandmother was nearly killed when gunmen opened fire on the wrong house, leaving young Stephen to pick at the bullet holes in the walls. He found refuge from this turmoil in heavy metal-especially the music of Ozzy Osbourne. As a pre-internet teenager, he hunted down dozens of live concert bootlegs-corresponding by mail with collectors around the world-and devoured every music magazine he could find.In late 1984, when Stephen was fifteen, he read about a huge festival in Rio de Janeiro that January called "Rock In Rio" whose bill included AC/DC, Queen, and Osbourne. As a lark, he mentioned it to his dad, and was stunned when he said they should go. He was even more shocked when his mother, looking for information about how to get tickets, began a correspondence with Osbourne's secretary, who scored the family VIP passes and introduced them to Osbourne in Brazil. Thus began a friendship with Ozzy, his wife Sharon and the rest of the Osbourne family that has continued for decades.While traveling on tour in the mid-nineties, Ozzy gifted Stephen a pair of fancy leather notebooks and told him to keep a record of their adventures and conversations. The result is Ozzy & Me: a beautiful behind-the-scenes memoir that proves the life-affirming, soul-nourishing power of music-and disproves the notion that you should never meet your heroes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Jane Buckley born in Derry, Londonderry in Northern Ireland, is a passionate storyteller who brings the complexities of her homeland's history to life. Inspired by her childhood during the Troubles - a deeply rooted conflict that took place from the late 1960's until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. Her ‘Stones Corner' series - Turmoil, Darkness, Light and Hope - cuts straight to the heart of one of Northern Ireland's darkest chapters. Jane writes to make sense of it all. To honour those who lived through it. To make sure it is not forgotten. Her work aims to shed light on a misunderstood chapter of history, fostering understanding and promoting healing. Ultimately her work is realistic and hard hitting story lines based around true events. Jane's next work, written for the US based Project Children, steps back to the powerful true story behind the initiative featured in the series. Between the seventies and nineties, 23,000 children from both sides of the divide were flown to the United States, welcomed into homes and given a taste of peace. It's a story of hope, healing and the quiet power of kindness. One child, one family. One Summer at a time.

"In the fall of 1620, the Mayflower embarked on a 3,000-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next nine weeks, its passengers and crew battled fierce storms and rampant illness. They had left England dangerously late in the season, and provisions ran low. In the ship's cramped cabins, the Puritan Separatists shared close quarters with a group known as “Strangers” who did not share their tight bonds or religious beliefs. When strong gales blew the ship off course, tensions between the Puritans and the Strangers exploded, threatening to tear the colony apart before they even set foot in the New World.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Congress is 43 days into the government shutdown, severely disrupting air traffic control, but hope rises as eight Senate Democrats vote to advance an end to the standoff. Mike McCormick, former Vice President of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization, discusses how the shutdown has led to many issues that are exacerbating an already understaffed system, then he shares his insights on how to rebuild the controller pipeline, and the challenges of restoring normal operations before the holiday travel season. The FDA is removing its long-standing boxed warning from hormone-based menopause drugs, a change that could reshape treatment for millions of women. For years, warnings about heart attack, stroke, and dementia discouraged many from using the therapy despite its benefits for hot flashes and other symptoms. Dr. Dorothy Fink, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health & Women's Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, joins the Rundown to explain what led to the FDA's decision, the science behind Hormone Replacement Therapy, and why women's health issues associated with menopause deserve more attention.

Najsilnejšia opozičná strana Progresívne Slovensko už túto jeseň predstavila alternatívu k ekonomickej práci kabinetu Roberta Fica. Teraz prichádza s alternatívou ku kabinetu samotnému. V polčase volebného obdobia prichádza s tieňovou vládou, v ktorej ministrov a ministerky nazýva lídrami zmeny. Ako si túto zmenu predstavuje? Boli nominácie jednoznačné alebo si jednotlivé mená aj konkurovali? A načo je to vlastne dobré? Nikola Šuliková Bajánová sa pýta redaktora domácej redakcie denníka SME Michala Katušku. Zdroje zvukov: Rádio Express, TA3 Odporúčanie Teraz spravím veľmi nepodarený oslí mostík a odporučím vám seriál Say Nothing. Spomínali sme, že tieňové vlády majú tradíciu v zahraničí, pričom niekedy ide o reálny dopad na politiku – to je aj prípad Mo Mowlamovej, ktorá sa zúčastnila mierových rokovaní, ktoré ukončili tragické obdobie dejín Severného Írska známe ako Troubles, o ktorom je aj spomínaný seriál. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Life's trials can feel like running with weights tied to your feet. Pastor Dion reveals a vital truth today about enduring in your walk with Christ. Troubles come, but you can keep moving forward by shedding what holds you back. Sin, hidden struggles, or even attitudes like discouragement and negativity can weigh you down.

And yet the Wall Street Journal immediately declared, "Election Wins Won't Ease Democratic Party's Troubles." And hoo boy Tucker Carlson just released a friendly interview with Holocaust-denying, Hitler-praising white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Why would THIS tear the Republican party apart? It's The Heritage Foundation versus Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Levin?

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance. This isn't just another political chat—it's a defibrillator for the democratic spirit. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics [00:00] Welcome & Chris's multi-faceted background [00:04] Jersey roots, high school wrestling, and joining the Air Force [00:07] Serving as military police & navigating mental health in public service [00:13] From law enforcement to Substack: becoming a full-time writer [00:16] On Project 2025, ICE, authoritarianism, and systemic corruption [00:24] What is “soft secession” and why does it matter now?

The longtime BBC Radio 1 host talks about the liberation of leaving broadcasting, her pivot to fiction writing and her party series, Before Midnight.If you grew up in the UK, chances are you've heard Annie Mac on the radio. The Irish native started on the airwaves in 2004 when she was 26. She hosted a nightly programme called Future Sounds, before eventually moving to a Friday night dance music show, which catapulted her into the pop cultural zeitgeist. Being at the BBC was a boon to her career, but as she reveals in this Exchange—her second appearance on the series—it also came with its limitations. She left the media giant in 2021 to spend more time with her family, and to pursue her own projects without the inhibition of BBC codes of conduct on matters around free speech. Since departing, she has been outspoken about politics and engaged in ongoing advocacy work and calls for change as an independent curator and podcast host.Annie Mac also speaks to Exchange host Chloe Lula about the art of interviewing; her popular party series,Before Midnight; her pivot to writing; how getting older has shaped her view of success; and what it means to lead the "good life." She has also published two novels, both of which pull from loosely autobiographical topics: The Troubles in Ireland, the music industry in London and bigger thematic arcs such as navigating motherhood and grief.

She hosted a nightly programme called Future Sounds, before eventually moving to a Friday night dance music show, which catapulted her into the pop cultural zeitgeist. Being at the BBC was a boon to her career, but as she reveals in this Exchange—her second appearance on the series—it also came with its limitations. She left the media giant in 2021 to spend more time with her family, and to pursue her own projects without the inhibition of BBC codes of conduct on matters around free speech. Since departing, she has been outspoken about politics and engaged in ongoing advocacy work and calls for change as an independent curator and podcast host. Annie Mac also speaks to Exchange host Chloe Lula about the art of interviewing; her popular party series, Before Midnight; her pivot to writing; how getting older has shaped her view of success; and what it means to lead the "good life." She has also published two novels, both of which pull from loosely autobiographical topics: The Troubles in Ireland, the music industry in London and bigger thematic arcs such as navigating motherhood and grief. Listen to the episode in full.
In the heart of Belfast during the height of the Troubles, a brutal gang prowled the night, abducting, torturing, and killing innocent Catholics in a reign of terror that would shock even hardened police officers. Known as The Shankill Butchers, this group of loyalist paramilitaries turned the streets into hunting grounds, leaving a city already divided by politics and religion gripped by fear. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell uncover how one man, Lenny Murphy, led a gang whose sadistic killings blurred the line between political violence and pure psychopathy.

PREVIEW. The Monarchy's Trouble with Spares. Gregory Copley discusses the monarchy's inherent troubles with "spares," specifically second sons like Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. Historically, this issue was sometimes settled violently, referencing the Roman Empire. Today, these spares, lacking training beyond a backup role, can become petulant, losing their ability to discern duty, unlike those further down the chain, such as Princess Anne. JAMES I
Annual giving programs across every sector are struggling—and the old tactics no longer work. To re-engage donors, fundraisers must borrow from behavioral economics: reduce friction, offer clear defaults, and frame choices that inspire action. Subtle “nudges,” simplified giving options, and immediate impact stories can transform inertia into generosity. In a noisy, overloaded world, the organizations that understand how people actually make giving decisions will be the ones that thrive.

Text us your questions!We talk with political strategist, author, and Lincoln Project member Mike Madrid about data, culture, and why both parties keep getting the Latino vote wrong.Mike takes us inside the Lincoln Project's 2020 strategy and the personal costs of resisting Trumpism, then draws a sharp line between principled conservatism and punitive nationalist populism. From energy policy to border security to employee ownership, we explore how Democrats ended up carrying a slate of classically conservative positions and why that still isn't landing with working class voters. The throughline is practical: housing, wages, and permitting timelines beat slogans every time, especially for a young, US‑born Latino electorate that's increasingly moderate, less partisan, and focused on near‑term economic mobility.We also discuss culture and faith, challenging lazy “machismo” tropes with the maternal core of Latin American Catholicism and a track record of electing women. Mike explains how generational change, not country of origin, drives political behavior and why Latino voters split roughly 50–50. That elasticity could be the system's safety valve, if the parties learn to speak to pocketbook priorities instead of waging endless culture wars.We also confront the rise in political violence. Mike argues we're already in a civil conflict—more Troubles than Gettysburg—and that healing will be social before it's political. The antidote starts local: honest conversations, community action, and leaders calling out extremism in their own ranks. Along the way, we have occasion to toast some tequila and hear about Mike's storytelling project on the Cuervo–Sauza rivalry, expanding how Latino lives are portrayed beyond tired stereotypes.If this conversation challenges and energizes you, follow, rate, and share the show with a friend.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Travel issues to Elland Road, Boxing Day woes and has Bamford found a new home?
Today I'm joined by CJ Killmer, host of the Dangerous History Podcast, for a hard look at where America might be headed as tensions and political violence keep rising. A lot of people compare our current divide to the Civil War, but CJ makes a strong case that's the wrong model. Instead, he points to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a messy, decades-long conflict that mixed politics, religion, and insurgency in ways that feel a lot closer to what a modern breakdown could look like. CJ knows this history inside and out. He studied the British Empire and Irish history … Continue reading →
