In this Nick Reiner case update, we follow the strangest thread in the entire trust fight: the man who was handed control of the money — and walked away months later.Paul Kanin took over Nick Reiner's trust after Rob and Michele Reiner were killed. According to the petition, his tenure was a wall of refusals, what Nick's lawyers call "a shifting series of excuses and justifications" — concerns about Nick's competence, questions about how the money would be used, and the looming possibility that California's slayer statute could bar the payout entirely if Nick is convicted of his parents' killings, charges he denies. Then Kanin reportedly told Nick's representatives something remarkable: he was resigning. A fiduciary named Jodi Montgomery — best known as Britney Spears' former conservator — is taking over.Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis reads the resignation the way an investigator reads a crime scene: what does it tell you when the person holding the purse strings would rather hand off the fight than finish it? Faddis weighs Kanin's stated concern — Nick's "capacity to make sound decisions and adequately protect his own interests" — against the defense's counterpunch that no court has ever found Nick incompetent, and explains how much a trustee's personal judgment actually counts for in probate court.He also unpacks the apparent contradiction at the center of the episode: the much larger Reiner family trusts, where Nick is reportedly a full and equal beneficiary, were frozen until the criminal case ends. So why is this smaller trust even contestable? And if Jake and Romy Reiner formally oppose their brother, how ugly does the fight get — and who does ugly favor?The answer to that last one may surprise you.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The newest Nick Reiner trial development is a 136-page probate petition filed from custody — naming both his outgoing and incoming trustees and demanding the release of more than $1.5 million held in the trust his parents established at his birth. In this extended episode, defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis conducts a complete legal examination of the dispute, from the filing's strongest claims to the family's most viable countermeasures.On the merits: the petition characterizes the trust's distributions as "mandatory and unconditional" — half payable at age thirty, a threshold Nick Reiner crossed more than two years before Rob and Michele Reiner were killed, with no payment made per the filing. Faddis evaluates that language under California trust law, the petition's invocation of the presumption of innocence — Nick has pleaded not guilty to both first-degree murder counts — the counsel-of-choice argument anchored to attorney Alan Jackson's declared readiness to resume the defense, and the reported procedural pathway by which an unopposed petition could be granted without hearing.On the opposition: trustee Paul Kanin's resignation following stated concerns about Nick's decision-making capacity, the appointment of successor Jodi Montgomery — formerly Britney Spears' conservator — and her requested custodial meeting, the operation of the slayer statute prior to any verdict, the reported freeze of the larger Reiner family trusts, the formal opposition available to Jake and Romy Reiner, and the recoverability of funds spent on defense should a conviction follow.The episode concludes with the Alex Murdaugh retrial's new presiding judge, Debra McCaslin: her reported professional history with lead defense counsel Dick Harpootlian, the disqualification standards that history implicates, and her authority over the financial-crimes evidentiary limits ordered by the South Carolina Supreme Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Somewhere in Los Angeles, a meeting is being arranged that could shape the entire Nick Reiner trust fund war: the incoming trustee — Jodi Montgomery, the fiduciary who spent years as Britney Spears' conservator — has reportedly asked to sit down with Nick in custody. What gets asked in that room, and how Nick answers, may matter as much as anything filed in court.Eric Faddis — former felony prosecutor, veteran defense attorney — joins us live for the complete picture of the fight, both sides, no gaps. He opens with Nick's 136-page petition: the trust terms his lawyers call "mandatory and unconditional," the payout owed when Nick turned thirty — more than two years before Rob and Michele Reiner were killed — that never arrived, the argument that a man who has pleaded not guilty is entitled to fund his defense with money that is lawfully his, and the reported scenario where an unopposed petition sails through without a hearing.Then the resistance: the outgoing trustee who doubted Nick's "capacity to make sound decisions" and resigned, the slayer statute waiting at the end of a guilty verdict, the larger Reiner family trusts reportedly frozen solid, and the genuine options left to Jake and Romy Reiner. Faddis explains what Montgomery's jailhouse meeting is designed to assess — and what each answer costs Nick.The last segment jumps to South Carolina: Judge Debra McCaslin now owns the Alex Murdaugh retrial, carrying both a reported early-career connection to Murdaugh's lead lawyer and a record of life sentences. Faddis maps her power, live, with your questions steering the close.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alice Mascarenhas speaks to Chris Wrobleski, one of the co-authors of ‘Sabotage! An In-depth Investigation of the 1943 Liberator crash that Killed Polish General Sikorski'.On the night of 4 July 1943, Liberator AL523 took off from Gibraltar's North Front airfield and within moments crashed into the sea with only one survivor, the pilot. The commander-in-chief of the Polish army and prime minister of the Polish government in exile, General Władysław Sikorski, was dead. Rumours as to the cause of the crash abounded. Was it pilot error? Was it, as officially classified, an accident, or was it, as the authors conclude in this riveting and meticulous study, an act of sabotage? In this extensive piece of research, Chris Wroblewski and Garth Barnard examine numerous primary sources, including the complete court of inquiry transcripts, produce detailed analysis of aircraft components and systems and unearth many little-known eyewitness accounts to give this investigation a compelling conclusion. Within the book the authors also dispel several conspiracy theories that have emerged since this catastrophe; particularly that this event was a disastrous assassination attempt with blame on the British, Soviets and Nazis.Together with Garth Bernard, a Within the book the authors dispel several conspiracy theories that have emerged since this catastrophe; particularly that this event was a disastrous assassination attempt with blame on the British, Soviets and Nazis.This podcast is produced for the Gibraltar Heritage Trust by Alice Mascarenhas, Trustee, and Claire Montado, CEO.For more information about the Trust and its work go to our website www.gibraltarheritagetrust.org.gi

**Hot Summer Days and Heated Discussions** As the summer heat sets in, the conversation turns to the weather, but it's not just about the temperature - it's about the differing opinions on how to handle it. Our host Tina Cosby shares a personal anecdote about a friend who can't take the heat, and it sparks a discussion about how people perceive and cope with extreme temperatures. But before we dive into the world of thermometers and air conditioners, we tackle a more serious topic: a recent trial in Texas that has left many questioning the justice system. This episode delves into a disturbing case where a young black man, Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder after a fatal stabbing at a track meet. Tina raises concerns about the lack of diversity on the jury and the potential for ineffective assistance of counsel. The discussion also touches on the importance of representation and the need for a fair trial. Meanwhile, the host also shares some personal experiences with solar power and electric vehicles, highlighting the pros and cons of these alternatives to traditional gas-powered cars. The conversation also takes a turn to discuss a proposed excise tax hike in Indianapolis, which aims to raise funds for road repairs and infrastructure. Tina talks to Pike Township trustee Annette Johnson about the upcoming public meeting and the importance of community involvement in the decision-making process. The trustee shares insights on how the city council is working to address the issue and the need for residents to have their voices heard. As the episode comes to a close, the host invites listeners to tune in for the rest of the conversation, which covers a range of topics from the importance of community involvement to the pros and cons of electric vehicles. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that will leave you questioning the status quo and thinking critically about the issues that matter most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Half of city council is new in terms this being their first term in office, but that doesn't mean that some of those people were politically inexperienced entering this office. For decades, the farm league for politicians has been the local school board, which is about as direct as democracy can get. Looking back at this term, and the rapid pace of change that councillors have had to deal with, have the councillors with that school board experience had a leg up? It was literally the day after the 2022 municipal elections that the Ontario government announced Bill 23 and sweeping changes to local planning policy. Later, Strong Mayor Powers were expanded beyond Ontario's biggest and then the downloading began again. It's safe to say that being a city councillor in 2026 is not the same as it was in 2021, so can you persevere in a job that's no longer the one you applied for? This may be the key question of this election, at least when we're talking about the DNA of local governance. Here in Guelph, two of the first-term councillors are ready to keep going and perhaps unsurprisingly, they were the two formally of the Upper Grand District School Board. They're used to being the underdog in an all too familiar fight for fairness, so as we head into this fall's election, what are the hard lessons they've learned that make them want to take the fight into a second term? Ward 4 Councillor Linda Busuttil and Ward 6 Councillor Katherine Hauser join us on this edition of the pod to discuss how the job has changed in the last four years, how the council experience differs from serving on the school board, and whether or not they had any doubt about running for re-election this October. We will also talk about the three Bs, managing expectations and criticism from constituents, and handling the constant flow of information that's coming in with the weekly council reports. So let's talk again about the last four years on council on this week's Guelph Politicast! Once again, nominations for mayor, city councillor, and school board trustee are open until August 21. You can learn more about how to run, who's running and other important information here. If you're listening to this on Wednesday, there's a city council meeting later today starting at 4 pm, and you can get all the council agendas on the City Government page of the City of Guelph website, and you can follow up with all the coverage here on Guelph Politico! The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify .

Why does a $5,000 Gucci bag and a $500 bag hold your stuff the same way — but one feels like an extension of your identity and the other doesn't? That's brand love. And in this full-circle episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I'm sitting down with the woman who literally wrote the international bestselling book on it — Lydia Michael — who also happened to be the marketing strategist behind my very first clean beauty brand, DAO Detroit (DAO = Defy All Odds), back in 2017. Years later, she's a #1 international bestseller, owner of Detroit-based Blended Collective, an adjunct professor across three continents, and a Board of Trustees member at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. I'm building Ra Beauty, my second clean beauty brand — this time from a completely different place. So when she reached out a few weeks ago for a testimonial, I told her — let's do better than a testimonial. Come on the show. What unfolded is part reunion, part masterclass, part love letter to the brands that built us. We unpack The Eight Brand Love Stages — Lydia's framework featured in university programs worldwide and translated into Turkish and Vietnamese. We talk about why 90% of customers make decisions based on gut feeling (and then justify with logic), why Coca-Cola doesn't sell beverages (they sell joy and happiness), and why I'm a Gucci goddess in the era of Tom Ford sensuality. Lydia walks us through how brands like L'Oréal, Garnier Fructis, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and Versace build emotional resonance — and where most small businesses leak love. Then we cross the bridge into my world: the mirror principle. A brand can't receive love it isn't broadcasting. I share why I'm praying over every Ra Beauty box and signing every insert card by hand — and why building from the inside out is the new luxury. This is the conversation for every founder, marketer, and high-achieving woman who wants to build something people don't just buy — but actually love. — — — — — — — — — — — —

Earlier this year, a Christchurch businessman was found borrowing millions of dollars against his family trusts for his clothing company - racking up a $3-million dollar spend. His sister prompted legal action, and two homes had to be sold as collateral.

Featuring: Chris Doyle, Shawan Jabarin, Dame Emily Thornberry MP, Debbie Abrahams MP and Paul Gerrard,  Chair: Sir Vincent FeanIn this wide-ranging panel discussion, leading politicians, campaigners, human rights advocates and policy experts examine the question at the heart of the conference: now that the UK has recognised the State of Palestine, what practical steps should come next?The panel explores how recognition can be translated into meaningful political, economic and legal action, discussing sanctions, trade, settlements, accountability, international law and the role of civil society in shaping government policy.Topics discussed include:The implications of UK recognition of the State of Palestine and whether recognition should be viewed as a starting point rather than an endpoint.Britain's historic and contemporary responsibilities regarding Palestine.The UK's military, diplomatic and economic relationship with Israel.Calls for sanctions, arms embargoes and restrictions on trade connected to settlements.The International Court of Justice advisory opinion and the UK's response to its findings.The legality of Israeli settlements and possible measures available to governments and businesses.The proposed E1 settlement expansion and its implications for the viability of a future Palestinian state.The role of British businesses, investors and consumers in relation to settlements and occupation.The economic challenges facing Palestinian producers and exporters.The role of Parliament, political parties and public campaigning in shaping UK policy.Civil society action, grassroots organising and public pressure as drivers of political change.Questions of accountability, international law and enforcement mechanisms.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Chris Doyle is Director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding (Caabu), one of the UK's leading organisations promoting informed debate and policy engagement on the Middle East. He is a frequent commentator on Middle Eastern affairs and has worked for decades on issues relating to Palestine, Israel, human rights and British foreign policy.Shawan Jabarin is General Director of Al-Haq, the leading Palestinian human rights organisation. A prominent lawyer and human rights advocate, he has spent decades documenting violations of international law and advancing accountability through international legal mechanisms.Dame Emily Thornberry is Chair of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee and Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury. She has played a leading role in parliamentary scrutiny of UK foreign policy and has been an advocate for Palestinian statehood and international law.Debbie Abrahams is Labour MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth and Co-Chair of the Britain-Palestine All-Party Parliamentary Group. She has been a longstanding advocate for human rights, international law and Palestinian self-determination.Paul Gerrard is Director of Campaigns, Public Affairs and Board Secretariat at the Co-op Group. He has led the Co-op's work on ethical sourcing, human rights and responsible business practices, including initiatives supporting Palestinian producers and addressing trade linked to settlements.Sir Vincent Fean is a former British diplomat and Trustee of the Britain Palestine Project. He served as British Consul-General in Jerusalem and has written extensively on British policy towards Palestine and Israel, diplomacy and international law.

Featuring: Daniel Levy, Dr Julie Norman, Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Shawan Jabarin, followed by Q&A.As the conference drew towards its conclusion, this panel tackled one of the most pressing questions of the day: what practical action can be taken internationally to advance Palestinian rights, uphold international law and create meaningful political change?Chaired by Sir Vincent Fean, the discussion brought together Daniel Levy, Dr Julie Norman, Nomi Bar-Yaacov and Shawan Jabarin to explore the shifting global political landscape, the role of governments and civil society, and how pressure can be translated into action.Dr Julie Norman argued that despair and inaction are not options. While acknowledging the scale of suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, she highlighted practical policy measures including recognition of the State of Palestine, banning settlement goods, supporting Palestinian businesses, and ensuring that any future reconstruction of Gaza prioritises Palestinian agency and dignity. She also reflected on the Britain Palestine Project's Statement of Principles, emphasising the importance of maintaining a broad coalition while continuing difficult conversations about how principles become policy.Shawan Jabarin offered a stark assessment of international efforts to date. Drawing on his experience as Director General of Al-Haq, he warned that many reconstruction proposals risk entrenching Israeli control rather than advancing Palestinian self-determination. He argued that Palestinians have been systematically excluded from decisions about their own future and stressed the need to challenge policies that seek to normalise occupation, displacement and inequality.Daniel Levy focused on the political realities of building influence and power. He argued that international law alone will not change outcomes unless governments are willing to create consequences for violations. Levy explored the growing global movement around Palestine, the shifting geopolitical landscape and the importance of creating political pressure that changes Israeli calculations. He also examined changing attitudes within Jewish communities worldwide and challenged assumptions about the future of Zionism, accountability and coexistence.Nomi Bar-Yaacov highlighted the urgency of implementing the International Court of Justice advisory opinion and ending the occupation in practice rather than merely in rhetoric. She outlined concrete measures governments could take, including restrictions on settlement activity, support for accountability mechanisms, action on Palestinian prisoners, and stronger coordination among European states. Bar-Yaacov also stressed the importance of maintaining hope through dialogue, cooperation and future political solutions grounded in justice and equality.The panel concluded with a lively audience discussion covering Palestinian political leadership, the imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti, the role of Hamas, changing attitudes among younger Jewish communities, international sanctions, and whether emerging global alliances may offer new opportunities to uphold international law.Throughout the discussion, speakers returned to a common theme: meaningful change will require more than statements of concern. It will require sustained political pressure, international accountability, grassroots mobilisation and a commitment to ensuring that Palestinian rights remain central to any future political settlement.Speakers:Daniel Levy, President, US/Middle East ProjectDr Julie Norman, Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations, UCLNomi Bar-Yaacov, International Negotiator and MediatorShawan Jabarin, Director General, Al-HaqChair:Sir Vincent Fean KCVO, Trustee, Britain Palestine Project

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan adds to decades of proof that an independent candidate for statewide office is doomed, pulling the plug on what had become a fading Quixotic quest. He was supposed to be the star of the annual Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce policy conference on Mackinac Island which was wrapping up as we recorded. There are no major surprises coming from the two days of fun, fudge and high-level schmoozing and boozing … and also no gubernatorial debate even though the major contenders are all at the Grand Hotel. It became a wake for the reality of Duggan's “impossible dream” which proved, in fact, to be impossible. Does it clear the way for Jocelyn Benson to ride a Blue Wave into the Governor's office? National Democrats have launched a circular firing squad over the 2024 Autopsy report with DNC chair Ken Martin facing calls for his ouster. But does anyone outside of the party's org chart and the political media give a damn? Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats are making a pitch to the DNC to put Michigan into the first tier of presidential primaries.  President Donald Trump's push to reshape congressional districts ahead of the November elections suffered a double setback Tuesday, as South Carolina senators declined to do so and a federal court blocked a Republican-backed map in Alabama. As early in-person voting began Tuesday in South Carolina's primaries, the state Senate rejected a Republican plan to cancel those congressional votes and instead schedule a new primary under revised districts designed to help the GOP oust Jim Clyburn, the state's only black member of Congress. A Republican win in Texas could well mean a Democratic win in November. Utterly corrupt Attorney General Ken Paxton outlasted Senator John Cornyn despite multiple national Republicans correctly pointing out that Paxton was a grotesquely flawed candidate. He's under federal indictment, he narrowly avoided CONVICTION AFTER impeachment – BY A GOP LEGISLATURE, and he's being sued for divorce by his state senator wife thanks to his affair with a former aide and state securities regulator. Democrats in Washington have made it clear that a Blue Wave flip of congressional control will mean investigations into the Trump administration’s corruption. As lawmakers grow increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump's planned $1.8 billion lawsuit settlement fund and his thousands of stock trades totaling hundreds of millions dollars, a trio of House Democrats is launching a new caucus aimed at fighting malfeasance in government. The new End Corruption Caucus is launching at the direction of Representatives Jason Crow, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mike Levin, D-Calif., spanning the party's centrist to progressive wings. When Donald Trump is feeling down, he brings in his Cabinet which spends a couple of hours telling him how great he is. On Wednesday the latest gathering focused on extolling what great things Trump has done for the economy and bringing Iran to its knees … nevermind that neither is consistent with reality. In fact, the latest reports from the Trump government is that inflation moved higher again last month … to the highest level in 3 years. Yes, inflation was lower during the final 2 years of the Biden administration. All of this to help him cope with his cognitive decline and his pending mortality after continual images of his rotting hands, his incessant bragging about being able to pass rudimentary dementia tests (that seem to be a regular occurrence), and news that he's had not one, not two, but THREE physicals at Walter Reed Hospital in less than a year, along with the realization that he was facing humiliation in the mid-term elections … which, all of a sudden, he claims are meaningless for him.  And it gave Trump a chance to introduce the latest merch available for his flock to buy on his QVC-style website, even laying out his newest tacky 55-dollar baseball cap in front of each of his cabinet members. Thankfully, none of them wore them during the meeting…and there's no report if the men in the room were wearing their Trump-mandated Florsheim shoes. The Trump administration said Tuesday that it will admit an additional 10,000 white South Africans into the U.S. as refugees this year, increasing its historically low annual cap but still blocking people from other countries from entering through the program. Trump suspended the refugee program on his first day in office and, since then, has turned it into a vehicle to allow Afrikaners — a group of white South Africans descended mainly from Dutch settlers — into the U.S. And there's more than a little turmoil at Michigan State University. The Board of Trustees offered president Kevin Guskiewicz a $1-million pay raise and a contract extention. He said ‘no thanks' and, after just two years in East Lansing, moves to President of Clemson University. This, after the board enacts controversial rules muzzling individual members … and penalizing two trustees for refusing to agree to the changes. All this adds to proposals to have the Governor appoint all university boards instead of relying on state political party nominations and partisan elections. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In loving memory of our friend, Dr. John ‘Joe’ Schwarz – 1937-2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything.
