Podcasts about unabomber

For years, the FBI chased a ghost. The Unabomber's bombs left little forensic evidence, and his attacks appeared random—until he made a crucial mistake. In 1995, Ted Kaczynski insisted on publishing his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, believing it would justify his violent ideology. Instead, it exposed him.In this episode, we reveal how forensic linguistics, behavioral profiling, and one heartbreaking family betrayal led to the unmasking of America's most elusive terrorist. Could his own words have been his greatest weakness all along? Don't miss this gripping analysis of one of the most intense FBI manhunts in history.

The Unabomber's evolution was chilling. His early bombs, crude concoctions of smokeless powder and match heads, were child's play compared to this. The device that maimed Hauser was a three-quarter-inch-diameter pipe, sealed with metal bar stock plugs and secured with pins. Nail fragments, lead, and double-pointed tacks served as shrapnel, designed to maximize suffering. Six D-cell batteries, their casings stripped, powered a metal and wooden initiator inside the pipe, triggered by an improvised loop switch. The plastic file box was reinforced with a wooden frame, a testament to the bomber's growing obsession with perfection.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

The homemade green cylindrical box perched atop a can on the floor was studded with dials and gauges, or so the instructor said later. Angelakos saw wires—loop switches attached to the sides running up each upright shaft of a wooden handle. This in turn was attached to the wooden box that rested on top of the gallon can. Angelakos reached out for it tentatively, and this slight movement was enough to stretch the wires. The bomber had incorporated into his device an ancillary component built to look like a piece of test or measurement equipment. In reality it was a piece of faux technology serving no function except that of exciting curiosity. The tension he unwittingly applied when he touched the device detonated an eight-and-a-half-inch-long, half-inch-wide galvanized pipe sealed on either end with threaded caps.

Dopo oltre 15 anni di inchieste, processi e colpi di scena, il delitto di Garlasco è ancora un enigma che divide opinione pubblica e giustizia. In questa puntata di True Crime Diaries, Jacopo Pezzan e Giacomo Brunoro analizzano uno dei casi di cronaca nera più controversi d'Italia: l'omicidio di Chiara Poggi, avvenuto nell'agosto 2007. Com'è possibile che le indagini siano state condotte in questo modo? Com'è possibile che dopo tutti questi anni sia stato riaperto il caso? Che ruolo ha avuto Sempio? E le cugine Cappa? Insomma, questa storia rappresenta uno dei casi più assurdi della storia criminale italiana.___________________________Qui trovi i nostri  libri!

The discussion covered various topics, including the absence of Maddie and the Supreme Court's recent actions. Tim Towers mentioned his son Jonathan Shrum's visit and his granddaughter's kindergarten graduation. The conversation shifted to Joe Biden's health, with speculations about his prostate cancer and its impact on his presidency. They also discussed the potential implications of Biden's use of an autopen for signing documents. Additionally, they touched on the FBI's handling of the Unabomber case, the escape of prisoners in New Orleans, and the implementation of Real ID for voter registration. The meeting concluded with a debate on the political bias in AI models. The discussion focused on the limitations of legal AI in handling complex legal cases. Speaker 1 highlighted that AI tools like Brock, Perplexity, and ChatGPT struggled to distinguish between special damages (easily calculable) and general damages (difficult to quantify). The AI also failed to understand the nuances of loss of earning capacity versus loss of income. Despite training, the AI hallucinated cases and doctrines. The conversation also touched on various legal AI tools available, such as Co Counsel, Lexus Plus AI, and Daro, emphasizing the need for comprehensive legal databases to avoid malpractice.

ATF experts analyzed the scattered remains: a nine-inch-long, one-inch-wide pipe encased in a wooden box, secured with nails, rubber bands, screws, epoxy, three-quarter-inch black plastic tape, and half-inch filament tape. The explosive was two types of smokeless powder packed in the pipe. The makeshift trigger resembled a child's plaything: a nail tensed by several rubber bands. Opening the handcrafted wooden box released the nail, which struck match heads, igniting the powder. Curiously, one end of the pipe was closed with a wooden stopper. The device was built from scavenged materials—hand-forged nails, reclaimed screws, items others might discard. Thus, the Junkyard Bomber emerged.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

The Unabomber was worried about technology and it's impact on us humans. Seems like his concerns weren't unwarranted. Is Scott Bessent seriously discussing screwing US bondholders and defaulting on the debt?  Trump memecoins are making people MILLIONS! Well...58 people are making millions. The other 700K+ people are losing. This is corruption and would be obvious to MAGA if the "other" guy was doing it.

Griffin would put the blame for our environmental problems on excessive individual freedoms. Actually, most of the problems are direct or indirect results of the activities of large organizations; namely corporations and governments. It is these organizations, after all, that control the structure and development of society. Perhaps the most unfortunate thing that has ever happened to individual Liberty was its being used as an excuse for the misdeeds of huge corporations. Now the evils perpetrated by these highly collectivist organizations are blamed on individual libertySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Online, there is a name for the experience of finding sympathy with Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber: Tedpilling. To be Tedpilled means to read Paragraph 1 of Kaczynski's manifesto, its assertion that the mad dash of technological advancement since the Industrial Revolution has “made life unfulfilling,” “led to widespread psychological suffering” and “inflicted severe damage on the natural world,” and think, Well, sure.Since Kaczynski's death by suicide in a federal prison in North Carolina nearly two years ago, the taboo surrounding the figure has been weakening. This is especially true on the right, where pessimism and paranoia about technology — largely the province of the left not long ago — have spread on the heels of the coronavirus pandemic and efforts to police speech on social media platforms.

Part 2 of 2. Starting in 1978, a Montana man murdered three people and injured 23 others during a nationwide bombing campaign. Hiding behind a comfortable upbringing, mathematician degrees from prestigious universities, and his perspective of doing right by the environment, Ted Kaczynski violently opposed modern technology and industrial society. And through a 35,000-word manifesto and multiple horrific attacks -many of which were on innocent civilians- he plead his case. This is the story of the Unabomber.

They are then escorted into the gas chamber, often under heavy security, and secured to a chair with restraints around their wrists, ankles, waist, and chest to prevent movement. A stethoscope or other monitoring device is typically attached to their chest, extending outside the chamber so a physician can listen for the cessation of heartbeat or breathing, which signals death. Once the convict is secured, the chamber is sealed shut, creating an airtight environment. The execution team, located in a separate control room, activates the mechanism to initiate the gas. In the classic cyanide gas method, a container of sulfuric acid is placed beneath the chair, and a lever is pulled or a switch flipped to drop cyanide pellets or crystals into the acid. This chemical reaction produces hydrogen cyanide gas, a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic substance that interferes with the body's ability to use oxygen, binding to hemoglobin and preventing it from carrying oxygen to tissues and organs.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

I casi di cronaca più oscuri con il criminologo Massimo Picozzi.

Starting in 1978, a Montana man murdered three people and injured 23 others during a nationwide bombing campaign. Hiding behind a comfortable upbringing, mathematician degrees from prestigious universities, and his perspective of doing right by the environment, Ted Kaczynski violently opposed modern technology and industrial society. And through a 35,000-word manifesto and multiple horrific attacks -many of which were on innocent civilians- he plead his case. This is the story of the Unabomber.

Ted Kaczynski wasn't just a criminal—he was a self-proclaimed revolutionary waging war against modern civilization. Over 17 years, he orchestrated a nationwide bombing campaign, targeting universities, airlines, and corporate figures. But before he was the Unabomber, he was a child prodigy, a Harvard graduate, and a professor. What drove him to turn against the world?In this first episode, we unravel the origins of the Unabomber, his early years, and the first chilling attacks that left the nation in fear. Was Kaczynski a product of his environment, or was he always destined to become a domestic terrorist? Join us as we dive deep into the mind of the Unabomber.

My guest Cory Hughes (on Substack) is the greatest living researcher on the JFK assassination, whose book A Warning From History will absolutely convince you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a fake identity created by the CIA, and that there were at least four shooters, possibly five, with direct, provable ties to the CIA. We discuss how they planned, carried out, got away with, and blamed Oswald for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This episode answers these big questions, laying out Oswalds fake identity and the motivations and actions of the other participants in the assassination, but it raises far more questions and leaves them unanswered. If you find this interesting, or haven't been convinced, you absolutely MUST READ his book. Please subscribe to Cory's podcast and listen to him on Jake Shields Fight Back.Also check the first installment of MKULTRAmerica on the Unabomber.

Award-winning reporter Kevin Fagan is one of San Francisco's great treasures. In his much acclaimed new book, The Lost and Found, Fagan tells his his two-decade experience reporting about homelessness in San Francisco. He shares the stories of Tyson and Rita, two homeless individuals who he helped reconnect with their families. Tyson, despite having a supportive family, died of a fentanyl overdose, while Rita was rescued by her family and lived 20 more fulfilling years. Fagan, who experienced housing insecurity as a teenager, explains that homelessness stems from systemic poverty issues rather than personal failings. He notes that despite San Francisco's reputation as America's “homeless central”, 70% of its homeless population lost their homes while already living there.Here are the 5 KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways from our conversation with Fagan:* Personal connection to homelessness shapes Fagan's perspective - his own experience with housing insecurity as a youth gives him unique insight and empathy toward homeless individuals.* Homelessness is not simply a choice - Fagan emphasizes that "no one wants to be homeless" and many fall into homelessness through a combination of trauma, mental illness, addiction, and economic factors.* Family intervention can be transformative - Rita's story demonstrates how family reconnection (which inspired San Francisco's "Homeward Bound" program) can successfully help people exit homelessness.* San Francisco's homeless reputation is somewhat misunderstood - despite being known as "Homeless Central," about 70% of San Francisco's homeless population became homeless while already living in the city.* Solutions require addressing systemic poverty - Fagan argues that homelessness is fundamentally a poverty problem in America, requiring broader economic solutions beyond what individual cities can accomplish alone.Kevin Fagan is a longtime, award-winning reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, specializing in homelessness, enterprise news-feature writing, breaking news and crime. He has ridden with the rails with modern-day hobos, witnessed seven prison executions, written extensively about serial killers including the Unabomber, Doodler and Zodiac, and covered disasters ranging from the Sept. 11 terror attacks at Ground Zero to California's devastating wildfires. Homelessness remains a core focus of his, close to his heart as a journalist who cares passionately about the human condition. His book on the rescue of two homeless people, “The Lost and The Found,” is available everywhere books are sold.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Would YOU Donate to a Killer? The Insane Reality of This Case What makes someone open their wallet for an alleged killer? That's the million-dollar—well, nearly $300,000—question in the case of Luigi Mangioni, the Ivy League grad turned assassin who took out United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in broad daylight. The shocking part? The massive wave of public support and financial backing for Mangioni's legal defense. Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to unpack the psychology behind why people are rallying behind a man caught on camera committing murder. Is it the anti-hero appeal? The deep-seated rage against corporate greed? Or is it just because he doesn't look like the Unabomber? Turns out, being easy on the eyes might just make you easier to forgive. We dig into Mangioni's privileged upbringing, his descent into radicalism, and the allure of narcissistic personalities that seem to capture the public's imagination. What drives people to glorify those who act out their darkest fantasies? And at what point does righteous fury turn into blind support? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #LuigiMangioni #CrimePsychology #MurderMystery #Narcissism #DarkSide Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

$300,000 for a Killer! The Dark Psychology of Luigi Mangione's Public Support What drives people to open their wallets for an alleged murderer? Sure, we all love a good anti-hero, but there's a difference between rooting for Batman and donating nearly $300,000 to the legal defense of Luigi Mangioni, the Ivy League grad accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—especially when the whole thing was caught on camera. So why is the internet rallying behind him? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, breaking down the psychological motivations behind this kind of mass support. Is it his Robin Hood-esque appeal? A shared hatred of the healthcare system? Or are we just suckers for a good-looking outlaw? And if Luigi had looked more like the Unabomber, would we even be having this conversation? As the conversation deepens, we explore the rising trend of revenge fantasies, the impact of social media outrage, and why people seem more consumed by collective anger than ever before. Is our obsession with taking down "the system" clouding our judgment of who the real villains are? #LuigiMangioni #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #SocialMediaRage #RevengeFantasies #DarkHeroes #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Adam and Connor welcome comedian Dave Waite to talk about the infamous Unabomber Manifesto. Is it a better read than you'd expect? Listen now and find out!Read it here: https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/classes/188/materials/Industrial%20Society%20and%20Its%20Future.pdf

After the Unabomber was seen after placing his 12th bomb in 1987, he disappeared for six years. The public hoped he was finished, however Ted Kaczynski was far from done. Over the years the Unabomber task force had very little information about Ted to get closer to a suspect. That was until Ted's sister-in-law started to piece together the similarities in the bomber and her husband's brother. After nearly twenty years of terror, Ted Kaczynski was finally caught on April 3rd 1996.

It's Monday, February 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus European Union delegation warns Pakistan about human rights abuses On Friday, a European Union delegation said that Pakistan's preferential trade status could be jeopardized if it does not address human rights concerns, including controversial Islamic blasphemy laws, forced marriages and conversions of Christian girls, and freedom of religion, reports Morning Star News. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the 8th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” Reagan Airport's control tower was understaffed Since an Army Blackhawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet last Wednesday night, killing all 67 people aboard both, authorities are taking a closer look at what went wrong. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” reports The New York Times. The controller, who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night, was also handling planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, not one. The Reagan airport tower was nearly one-third below targeted staff levels, with 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023 instead of the recommended 30 controllers, according to the most recent Air Traffic Controller Workforce Plan. Alarms were raised about ‘congested' airspace before fatal D.C. crash In related news, Daniel Driscoll, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Army, questioned why military helicopters needed to conduct training exercises near such a busy commercial airport, reports The Guardian. Driscoll told lawmakers that the incident seemed “preventable” and vowed to review Army practices. Martin Chalk, a former British Airways captain who retired in 2020, said, “The military tend to have a bit of a law-unto-themselves approach,” explaining that military pilots do not have to follow all civil aviation protocols. Senator Kennedy urges Kash Patel to reform the FBI, not burn it down Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's nomination for director of the FBI, was at the center of a tense and highly charged Senate hearing Thursday in which he defended his calls for significant reform at the beleaguered agency. Patel, age 44, worked as a counterterrorism prosecutor for the U.S. Justice Department under the Obama administration. Then, he served in the first Trump administration as chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Defense, deputy director of National Intelligence, and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.  Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a fascinating exchange with Patel. KENNEDY: “You're not saying that everybody at the FBI is bad, are you?” PATEL: “Never said that. I've overwhelmingly said, multiple times, that 98% of the FBI is courageous, apolitical, warriors of justice. They just need better leadership.” KENNEDY: “Who put away the Unabomber?” PATEL: “The FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who put away Timothy McVeigh and his [Joseph] Stalin's stomach for blood?” PATEL “Agents at the FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who helped investigate Jesse Smollett, who, in an effort of self-aggrandizement, set back the fight for minority rights for years?  The FBI had opened an investigation, wasn't it.” PATEL: “Eventually, yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “There have been or were some bad people at the FBI and the Justice Department. Mr. Hunter Biden cheated on his income taxes. Didn't pay $1.4 million in income taxes over four years. And he filed fraudulent returns. He tried to deduct his hookers as a business expense, and they hit him with two misdemeanors before there was a public outcry. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “The American people are entitled to a singular form of justice and the details to every public corruption investigation.” KENNEDY: “You, you remember Peter Strzok?” PATEL: “I sure do.” KENNEDY: “One of the lead investigators for Mr. [Robert] Mueller's Russian collusion hoax.” PATE: “Yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “You remember when the Inspector General, not his colleagues, turned him in? Inspector General found that Mr. Peter Strzok sent an email to his girlfriend. ‘Just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart. I could smell the Trump support.' Remember that?” PATEL: “He did that while employed at the FBI, while working on that investigation.” KENNEDY: “Do you remember when the IG revealed another email by Mr. Strzok to his girlfriend? Mr. Strzok said, ‘I am riled up. Trump is an idiot. Is unable to provide a coherent answer.'” PATEL: “Peter Strzok said that.” KENNEDY: “You remember when his girlfriend texted Mr. Strzok? [She said,] ‘Trump's not ever going to become president, right?' And Mr. Strzok replied, ‘No. No, he won't. We'll stop it!'” PATEL: “I do remember their insurance policy.” KENNEDY: “And then Mr. Strzok testified, in front of God and country, that never had his political beliefs impacted his work. You believe in the tooth fairy?” PATEL: (laughs) “When I was a kid.” (crowd laughs) KENNEDY: “You believe Jimmy Hoffa died of natural causes?” (laughter)  Then Mr. Strzok got fired, and next thing we know, the FBI and the Department of Justice, after he sued, gave him $1.2 million. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “Absolutely!” Senator Kennedy gave Kash Patel this advice once he's confirmed to be the new FBI Director. KENNEDY: “Now, I want you to think hard before you answer my next question. Do you believe in the adage that ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even'”? PATEL: “Senator, I think if anyone commits a wrong in government service, the American public deserve to know the absolute detail of that corrupt activity.” KENNEDY: “When reforming the FBI and the Justice Department, ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even' is the wrong approach, isn't it?” PATEL: “That's correct.” KENNEDY: “And we're going to hold you accountable for that.” PATEL: “I hope you do.” KENNEDY: “There's some good people at the FBI.” PATEL: “Lots.” KENNEDY: “And there have been, and may still be, some bad people there. And you've got to find out who the bad people are and get rid of ‘em in accordance with due process and the rule of law. And then you got to lift up the good people. Don't go over there and burn that place down. Go over there and make it better! Do you commit to us today that you would do that?” PATEL: “I commit to you, if confirmed, Senator, every single day, 24/7, 365, the FBI will be the premier law enforcement agency in the world!” Christian teen hockey player suffered spinal cord injury And finally, on Friday night, January 24th, while playing hockey, 17-year-old Jackson Drum of Parkers Prairie, Minnesota, sustained a traumatic neck injury during a hockey game in Vancouver, Canada.  When he hit the boards head first, the 6'4”-tall young man with Fellowship of Christian Athletes Hockey endured a devastating spinal cord injury and had a cardiac arrest. Fox 9 in Minneapolis talked with his aunt, Emily Nouyen. NOUYEN:  “There's really no words to describe how our family is feeling.” He was stabilized and rushed to the Vancouver General Hospital. On Saturday, he underwent surgery to fuse C1 and C2 together to stabilize his neck.   NOUYEN: “My sister has said a few times, ‘I feel like I'm in a nightmare!' And that's exactly how I would describe it: just devastation.” Jackson remains on a ventilator, unable to move. NOUYEN: “The doctors in Vancouver have prepared my sister and Jason for the possibility that Jack may not walk again, may not be able to use his arms, and may not breathe on his own.” Jackson has a long road ahead in recovery with considerable medical bills accruing.  It's the family's hope to move Jackson to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota as soon as he's stabilized.   Please pray that God would miraculously heal Jackson Drum.  Pray that the inflammation comes down, that he breathes on his own, and gets feeling back in his arms and legs.   So far, $66,280 has been contributed to pay for his medical care including a medical transport from Canada to Minnesota.

In 1978 Ted Kaczynski began what would become a series of bombings around the United States over the next two decades. Kaczynski, who was then an unknown serial bomber, wanted to rid the country of modern technology which he believed was destroying human minds and society. By 1996, the Unabomber had killed three and injured twenty nine others with his carefully crafted homemade bombs. The investigation into the Unabomber was the most expensive investigation in the history of the FBI with an estimated to cost around 50 million dollars.

During a 17-year bombing campaign, an elusive terrorist known as the Unabomber killed three and injured 23 Americans. In 1995, he contacted The New York Times and The Washington Post promising to stop his terror attacks if they published his 35,000-word manifesto. The document explained his aim: to dismantle modern industrial society. On the advice of the FBI and the Attorney General, the newspapers published the manifesto, which led to the Unabomber's downfall. Dr Kathleen Puckett was an FBI agent who uncovered his identity. She speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Theodore 'Ted' Kaczynski in custody.

Susie can't stop talking about Luigi Mangione and the stranger-than-fiction nature of his crime and his similarities to the Unabomber. Sarah explains why the HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired) acronym about needs should include a P for pain as well. We discuss the Billboard designation of Beyonce as the artist of the century, whether it's premature (since we're only 25 years into the century) and why they are putting entertainment over musicianship. We find out how scientists are engineering wood to have fungus that creates bioluminescence and how these properties could help with climate change. We discuss extreme sports among seniors and why the risk might be outweighed by the benefits. Sarah explains the differences among givers, takers, and people who offer "affordances" in conversation, and where we fit on the spectrum. Plus, we debate a lawsuit by a man who sued a restaurant for calling wings "boneless" after he nearly died from swallowing a bone, and why we're furious about the outcome.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

True Crime Tuesday presents Murder By Mail: A Global History of the Letter Bomb with Prof. Mitchel P. Roth! A late package from Amazon or USPS would be the least of your troubles on Christmas Eve! Imagine a deadly Yuletide greeting from a not so Christian fellow! The book, "Muder By Mail", unfolds the gripping history of weaponized mail, offering the first ever comprehensive exploration of this sinister phenomenon. Spanning two centuries, the book unveils the history of postal bombs, describing the evolution of both explosives and the postal services that facilitated their deadly use. From an eighteenth-century incident involving Jonathan Swift to modern acts of terror by groups like the IRA and the suffragettes and lone wolves such as the Unabomber, it uncovers the surprising ubiquity of mail bombs. This chronological account meticulously covers each decade, from early anarchists and world wars through the Cold War to the rise of the serial bomber. Astounding in scope, this book sheds light on the psychopathy, motivations and political implications behind murder by mail. On Today's TCT, Prof. Roth highlights some of the grizzly moments in human history where people have made that fateful decision to not only open these deadly "infernal machines", but also construct and send them!  He also talks about some of the most famous bomb builders in history and the psychology behind what makes one person want to blow another apart from far away and through the mail system, where innocents have a greater chance of getting hurt, than the actual target!
