It's Witness Wednesday! Todd stops by the University of Georgia to talk with - and evangelize to - a number of students. From talking with a psychology student about the reality of the soul, to investigating the claims of a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox church, Todd clearly presents the hope of the gospel to everyone he meets. Be encouraged and edified as you see biblical evangelism in action. Segment 1 • Todd prods psych student Alex about the mind, the soul, and whether humans are merely biological machines. • Alex argues that morality is a result of evolution, but struggles to explain why things like murder are recognized cross-culturally as wrong. • Todd presents the Christian worldview as the only framework that explains conscience, justice, guilt, and humanity's need for forgiveness through Christ. Segment 2 • Todd uses a student's necklace and T-shirt to discuss Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity and what the cross actually means. • The student claims to be on the “right path” but admits he has lied and struggles to define what salvation really requires. • Todd walks him through the Ten Commandments, exposing the seriousness of sin and explaining the gospel: Christ paying the penalty so guilty sinners can be forgiven. Segment 3 • Todd meets Julia, who blends Roman Catholic background with nihilism, insisting that morality is ultimately subjective and that no absolute truth exists. • When pressed, Julia cannot say that horrific acts—like killing a child—are objectively wrong. • Todd bypasses philosophical debate and appeals to her conscience, showing how our sense of guilt and justice points to a moral Lawgiver. Segment 4 • Todd asks Julia to imagine standing before God's courtroom: if we're guilty of breaking God's laws, how could anyone escape judgment? • Attempts at good deeds, apologies, or religious rituals collapse under scrutiny, exposing humanity's need for a true substitute. • Todd explains the gospel—Jesus satisfying God's justice on the cross—and challenges Julia to consider where she stands. ___ Thanks for listening!

What happens when the past starts sounding uncomfortably like the present? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with historian Tad Stoermer to explore the recurring cycle of power, resistance, and transformation in American history. Tad traces his journey from the military and Democratic politics into historical scholarship, explaining why moments of resistance often emerge when authority overreaches. Drawing from his forthcoming book, “A Resistance History of the United States,” releasing June 2, 2026, he connects today's unrest to earlier chapters of the American story. This conversation challenges conventional political thinking and invites listeners to examine current events through a longer historical lens, exploring generational memory, shifting values, and what tends to rise when societies reach a breaking point. In this episode, Darius and Tad will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Tad Stoermer and His Work (02:53) Tad's Journey to Becoming a Historian (05:40) Understanding Resistance in American History (08:33) The Role of Values in Politics (11:40) The Dynamics of Resistance and Authority (14:12) Political Parties and Their Disconnect with Values (17:02) The Need for Change in Political Systems (20:06) The Founders' Vision and Its Flaws (27:08) The Dynamics of American History (32:19) The Evolution of Republics in the U.S. (37:33) Generational Memory and Historical Context (42:42) Youth Perspectives on Power and Authority (47:18) Resistance Dynamics: A Values-Agnostic Framework Tad Stoermer is a public historian and author of “A Resistance History of the United States”. One of the most widely followed public historians in the world, he reaches millions each month with work focused on the American Revolution and the enduring myths that shape American identity. A former U.S. Army Reconnaissance Scout and veteran of a decade in Democratic politics, Stoermer holds a PhD in History from the University of Virginia and is an alumnus of Johns Hopkins and Harvard. He has taught public history at Harvard, held major fellowships at Brown, Yale, and Monticello, and currently serves as a Lecturer at Johns Hopkins, a Visiting Scholar at the University of Southern Denmark, and Film and Digital Media Editor of The Public Historian.

On March 17th, thousands of St. Patrick's Day Parades take place across the globe. New York's parade, dating back to the 1760s, draws three million people and reinforces the stereotype that the parade is an American invention. Yet parades have been taking place since at least the early 17th century. The real origins of St. Patrick's Day Parade are far more complicated, and far more contentious, than anyone imagines.In this episode, originally released on Transatlantic, the Irish American history podcast I make with Damian Shiels, we explore this history with Dr. Cian T. McMahon from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Cian challenges the myths surrounding the parade's origins and reveals how it became one of the world's most contested cultural events. He examines how it reflects the constantly changing nature of Irish identity and explores how women and LGBTQ+ activists fought for the right to participate in a celebration that was often fiercely controlled.Cian T. McMahon is Professor of History at the Department of History and Honors College at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He was the co-editor of The Routledge History of Irish America and is the author The Coffin Ship: Life and Death at Sea during the Great Irish Famine and The Global Dimensions of Irish Identity: Race, Nation and the Popular Press, 1840-1880.Sound by Kate Dunlea.Listen to American Emigrants in Irish Folklore on Transatlantic, An Irish American History Podcast: https://shows.acast.com/transatlantic/episodes/37-memories-of-homeSupport the show: Patreon.com/irishpodcast Hosted on Acast.

Rosamund Pike! What a woman. Famed for her portrayals of razor-sharp, morally complex and deliciously unpredictable characters, she brings that same intriguing duality to this conversation. Thoughtful and quietly rebellious, she reflects on a career that has defied neat narratives from the very beginning. After taking a year out from studying English at University of Oxford to pursue acting, she graduated and stepped straight into the global spotlight as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. From there came a string of unforgettable movies: Pride & Prejudice, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn. Her chilling performance in Gone Girl earned her an Oscar nomination and she took home a Golden Globe for I Care a Lot. In 2025, she returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in the National Theatre's production of Inter Alia. In this episode, she talks about her ‘failure' to get married, the realities of raising two sons and her decision not to read a single review of her work for the past 25 years. Plus why she's ‘constantly in battle' with her own fear, her failure to be an action movie hero, her miserable attempt to cook a rabbit and whether or not she's ‘cool'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:18 No reviews rule 06:57 Early perfectionism and stage craft 07:58 Inter Alia and modern womanhood 10:09 Luminate meditation mask 12:42 Failure to learn Chinese 19:09 Onstage mishaps and acting roles 28:59 What Cool Really Means 29:26 Cool Girl vs Amy 32:21 Failing at Being An Action Star 36:52 Failure to Get Married 45:17 Mothering Two Boys 47:28 Smells and Teen Hygiene 48:44 Rabbit Dinner and Being Enough

Professor Armin Krishnan, an expert in security studies and emerging technologies, discusses the transition toward fifth-generation warfare, where conflict shifts from physical battlefields to psychological manipulation and societal destabilization. Krishnan describes how non-kinetic methods, such as information warfare and digital surveillance, allow actors to achieve political goals without traditional military force. The conversation also explores the chilling possibilities of neurowarfare and directed energy weapons, citing Havana Syndrome as a potential example of remote cognitive interference. Additionally, he examines the rise of a technocratic “shadow government” that utilizes biometrics, AI targeting, and autonomous robotics to enforce control. Ultimately, Krishnan warns that these advancements are leading toward a totalitarian era where the boundaries between the state, technology, and the human body are increasingly blurred.

As prices have risen over the past decade, snow sports have gotten farther and farther out of reach for many Americans. And this has big implications not just for the ski-inclined, but also for the workers and local businesses that rely on steady ski area traffic. On today's show, Kimberly talks with University of Waterloo professor and sustainable tourism expert Daniel Scott about what's driving up the cost of snow sports and how the effects of climate change are shaping the future of the industry.

Although professional basketball player Parker Van Dyke has worn jerseys for the Salt Lake City Stars and Austin Spurs, he sees his first identity as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Parker currently plays for the NBA G League and broadcasts high school games. He’s also played professionally in Europe, after starting for the University of Utah Utes and serving a full-time mission in the Alabama Birmingham Mission. Through all this, Van Dyke’s advice to others is to be builders — both on a team and in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He joins Church News reporter Mary Richards in the meetinghouse gym where he grew up playing in Salt Lake City.

Can poetry change how we think, feel and act? We're looking at how poetry is being used in some innovative and unexpected ways. We'll hear from the Hot Poets - a group who ‘live translate' at conferences on everything from climate change to coding. They've taken part in several UN climate change meetings - listening to complex presentations on science and summarising the information in a poem. They say it helps bring little known - but positive - news about climate science to a wider audience, changing despair into hope.In Singapore we meet the medical students learning about poetry to help them become more compassionate doctors at the medical school which says medicine - like life - is not black and white. And we find out which member of our BBC team is a spoken word poet and how she is among a growing number of people worldwide to find community and belonging through open mic nights.Plus we set our listeners a poetry challenge!People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.

Dr. Alex Marson, MD, PhD, is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. We discuss the biology of the immune system and cancer, and everyday choices that can increase or decrease your cancer risk, several of which are surprising but all of which are actionable. We also discuss immunotherapy, including how engineered T-cells can be used to defeat childhood and adult cancers. Dr. Marson explains CRISPR and gene editing to cure diseases, and we address the ethical questions surrounding gene editing in embryos, children and adults. This discussion is for anyone interested in avoiding cancer and/or seeking to understand the science and practical applications of immune- or gene-therapy. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Intelligence is a many splendored thing, especially when it comes to comparisons between species. Chimpanzees are better than humans at some numerical tasks, but less good at understanding what numbers actually mean. One window on the ways that species differ is how they play amongst themselves. I talk with anthropologist and cognitive scientist Erica Cartmill about modes of play and other social behaviors among various species, and what they reveal about the ways we all think.

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report   On today's program:   The U.S. struck oil facilities around Tehran, Iran, an attack that has triggered an environmental disaster. With massive fuel depots burning, rain mixed with soot and petroleum residue is now falling over the city, leaving a toxic, oily film across streets, buildings, and vehicles. After Donald Trump called for Iran's "unconditional surrender," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the term simply means whatever Trump says it means. Trump takes to Truth Social to claim to essentially claim victory in Iran in a quintessential confused post from the president. Professor Clara Mattei joins the program to discuss her new book Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention. Clara is a professor of Economics at the University of Tulsa and the founder of Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE).

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we explore two foundational constitutional principles that continue to shape major legal and political debates: separation of church and state and due process. What does the First Amendment actually require when it comes to religion in public life, and how have courts interpreted the boundaries between government and faith? We break down the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, examining how the Supreme Court has navigated issues involving public schools, religious expression, and government funding. We also take a deep dive into due process, the constitutional guarantee that the government must follow fair procedures and respect certain fundamental rights before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property. From procedural protections in courtrooms to broader questions about substantive rights, this episode provides a clear, nonpartisan explanation of how these doctrines developed and why they remain central to constitutional law today.

I think the cultural perspective on optimism has decreased, even to the point of it being naive. It seems in vogue to be pessimistic and even cynical. The definition of optimism is, hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something. So let's consider the converse. In dealing with a challenge in your life, do you think your chances of being resilient and coming out with a best case scenario would be better served with a perspective and attitude of hopelessness and doubt? I thought of a surgeon. Would I rather my surgeon have hopefulness and confidence in my procedure, or hopelessness and doubt? Yes, we want them both to have skill. But I like this juxtaposition. My guest in this episode is Dr. Deepika Chopra. Deepika is a behavioral scientist and psychologist who specializes in what she has coined as, "evidence-based manifestation," which draws from behavioral science, emotional fitness, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom to build modern tools for resilience and joy. She holds a doctorate in clinical health psychology and completed a double postdoctoral fellowship at both the University of California at Los Angeles and Cedars Sinai Medical Center. She completed her formal dissertation on the topic of optimism, positive sensory visualization, and the connection to optimal well-being. She is a recurring guest on the TODAY Show, and her work has also been featured in Forbes, Harper's Bazaar, VOGUE, GOOP, Variety, E!, and more. She has led workshops for companies like Google, Amazon, and Amex, and has delivered keynotes at events including the Aspen Ideas Festival and The Atlantic's In Pursuit of Happiness. But more than any of those accolades what I intrigued myself most with, is she has a sone with a severe chronic illness. An illness that is likely to see his life cut very short. When we first started our discussion I asked her how he was doing, and Deepika said he was doing ok. Today. She lives day by day with his very existence in the balance. And she has devoted herself to optimism. So much so that she's now know as “The Optimism Dr.” Deepika has a brand new book titled, The Power of Real Optimism: A Practical, Science-Based Guide to Staying Resilient, Curious, and Open Even When Life Is Hard.

Kara Birge has built a life with her husband, country artist George Birge on one simple philosophy: trust God and have fun through every season. From meeting at the University of Texas to early days flipping houses and working corporate jobs, to moving to Nashville for a record deal and starting over more than once, their journey has been full of faith, risk, and resilience. Through it all they’ve raised two boys, navigated the highs and challenges of the music business, and watched George score two No. 1 hits at country radio with “Mind On You” and “Cowboy Songs.” Now the adventure continues with a brand new collaboration with Luke Bryan “It Won’t Be Long,” proving that trusting the season and keeping fun at the center has been their secret weapon all along.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet the Fantastic—and Controversial—Dr. David Healy Psychiatric Drug Companies-- What Are They NOT Telling Us? Today, we are thrilled to interview the famed and courageous Dr. David Healy. I have admired his work for many years, but never imagined I'd have the chance to meet him and chat with him. First things first. You may know Dr. David Healy for some of his highly controversial books, like "The Antidepressant Era," "Let Them Eat Prozac," and "Pharmageddon." But who is he, really? According to AI, Dr. David Healy is a prominent Welsh psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and critic of the pharmaceutical industry known for his research on antidepressants, their links to suicide, and exposing industry practices like ghostwriting and disease-mongering, operating through initiatives like RxISK.org to promote drug safety. He has a long history of challenging Big Pharma, facing academic backlash (like losing a University of Toronto post) for his views, and serving as an expert witness in legal cases involving psychotropic drugs, advocating for greater transparency and patient safety.  Healy initially worked with pharmaceutical companies, gaining firsthand knowledge of how SSRIs were marketed despite their trial weaknesses, focusing on the oversimplified serotonin hypothesis. He then became a vocal critic, highlighting issues like ghostwriting articles and manipulating academic opinion to sell drugs, leading to conflicts with industry-funded institutions. He founded RxISK.org, a platform for patients to report adverse drug reactions, aiming to make medicines safer. His strong stance (on research linking SSRI antidepressants to increased suicidal thoughts and urges) led to intense and corrosive controversy, including losing a professorship at the University of Toronto (though later settled as a visiting role) and harassment, noted here and here. In recent years, he has acted as an expert witness in cases involving drug-related suicides and homicides, bringing issues to regulators.  In essence, Dr. David Healy is a significant, often controversial, figure dedicated to drug safety, academic integrity, and patient awareness in psychiatry, challenging established narratives and industry power.  Taking a deeper dive, AI has added this critically important information: David Healy has discussed numerous examples of conflicts of interest that mainly involve the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical research, publication, and practice.  Key examples he has highlighted include: Ghostwriting of Articles: Pharmaceutical companies hire medical communication firms to draft research articles or reviews, and then get prominent academics or clinicians to put their names on the papers as the sole or primary authors, a practice known as ghostwriting. The named authors often have little to no involvement in the actual research or writing. Hiding or Misrepresenting Data: Drug companies have concealed unfavorable data or miscoded raw data on drug risks, such as the link between antidepressants and suicidal acts. This manipulation can make a drug appear safer or more effective than it actually is. Biased Clinical Trial Design: Healy notes instances where clinical trials are designed with "tricks," such as using inadequate or excessive doses of comparison medications to make the company's own drug look superior. Marketing-Driven Education: A large portion of continuing medical education (CME) classes for doctors are sponsored by industry. Healy argues this leads to a bias in the information presented to doctors, with an emphasis on the benefits of brand-name drugs rather than an objective assessment of all treatment options. Gifts and Payments to Physicians: Drug companies spend billions annually on marketing directed at doctors, including free samples, sales visits, and small non-educational gifts or lunches. Healy points out that while many doctors believe these gifts don't affect their own prescribing, studies show they influence prescribing patterns and create subtle biases. Industry Influence on Academia: Healy's own experience with a job offer being rescinded at the University of Toronto, which had received a large donation from a drug company (Eli Lilly), is a prominent case he uses to illustrate how industry funding can infringe upon academic freedom and stifle critical research. "Disease Mongering": Healy argues that the pharmaceutical industry often engages in "disease mongering," marketing conditions to the public and physicians to create a market for their products rather than simply addressing genuine medical needs.  So that hopefully gives you some idea of the scope of his work, and his vision of transparency and integrity in the reporting one the effectiveness and risks of psychotropic medications. In our conversation today, he emphasized the importance of listening to patients who describe side effects of medications, such as SSRIs, in described the efforts of Big Pharma to suppress such complaints, giving psychiatrists "talking points" to reassure and quiet concerned patients. In general, a main focus of his career has been to challenge and confront the efforts of drug companies to suppress negative information about their products and troublesome and dangerous side effects. He said that one of the rationales the drug companies use is to say that disseminating that type of information will discourage many potential patients from using their products, and therefore miss out on the potential benefits of the medications. In fact, they have a name for this, "treatment hesitancy," and discourage open discussion of negative effects for this reason. I asked Dr. Healy if he's experienced direct negative pushback from drug companies, and he gave a surprising answer—he said no, that the major pushback he's gotten has actually been from colleagues—psychiatrists who have bought the party line disseminated by the drug manufactures. For example, when he gave his famous talk at the University of Toronto on the increase in suicidal urges associated with SSRI antidepressants, a famous psychopharmacologist, Dr. Charlie Nemeroff, got him fired. Here's the story on Dr. Nemeroff, According to AI: In the late 2000s, Nemeroff faced investigations and sanctions from Emory University for failing to disclose significant speaking and consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline, raising questions about research integrity and conflicts of interest, notes The BMJ and The New York Times.  Although the antidepressant effects of SSRIs are controversial and hotly debated, their effects on the nervous system are not. Dr. Healy's research indicates that they have a suppression effect on the nervous system, which dulls the senses, and this can happen within 1 to 2 days. One of the more troublesome of these effects is called "genital numbing," which affects 9 out of 10  people talking SSRIs. This can result in difficulties with sexual arousal and greatly delayed orgasm, and apparently these effects can persist long after drug discontinuation. He said that these sensory effects can develop quickly, within a day or two of starting the medications. Even more chilling, he said that the problem can actually get worse when you discontinue the medication, and can sometimes persist for life. In addition, quite a few individuals have "bad trips" on SSRIs, although a minority clearly have "good trips." He said the best thing to do for a bad trip is to take the patient off of the medication immediately—and NOT increase the dose. He confirmed my impression that a common error with all antidepressants is to increase the dose—which simply increases the side effects. In addition to the genital numbing described above, he said the SSRIs cause "emotional numbing," which means a decreased capacity for joy as well as sorrow. One of the main activities in David Healy's life has been listening to patients, rather than discounting their complaints when they describe negative effects of medications. When asked about what alternatives to drugs he might recommend to someone struggling with depression, he said that sometimes, just doing nothing will be helpful, since most mood problems clear up spontaneously in 12 to 14 weeks. He said that most are simply human problems, not "mental disorders," but real-life problems, like relationship conflicts or social issues. Although we did not discuss it extensively on the show, I would point out that skillful, drug-free therapy with TEAM CBT can sometimes help as well, and that recent research has confirmed rapid often dramatic mood improvements with individuals using the Feeling Great app, which has been entirely free to anyone since the summer of 2025.  Finally, we do not advise anyone to discontinue or modify the dosages of any medications you have been prescribed without consultation with your doctor. The information in the Feeling Good podcast is of a strictly educational nature, and is not intended as treatment or medical advice. We thank you for listening to today's shocking but incredibly important dialogue with one of the pioneers and champions of greater ethical integrity and transparency in the psychiatric profession. It is sad, indeed, that we don't have more visionary critical thinkers like Dr. David Healy! David (H), Rhonda, and David (B)

As NASA's Artemis program promises to take us back to the moon for the first time in fifty years, we consider what it means that as many as 10% of Americans don't believe we went there in the first place. Why, despite all the evidence, has the faked moon landing conspiracy persisted? We explore why this falsehood has such staying power and what it reveals about our relationship with science and its findings.   Meanwhile, lunar science continues unabated. Scientists open a lunar soil sample that's been vacuumed sealed for a half-century and receive a blast of four and a half billion-year-old solar wind.  Guests: Peter Knight – professor of American Studies, English and American Studies and conspiracy expert at the University of Manchester, U.K. Ryan Zeigler – planetary scientist and NASA's Lunar Sample Curator at Johnson Space Center Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.

“I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms” writes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of the HHS. “Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals… If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms… The consequences would be disastrous.” MAHA is split over Kennedy's statement explaining President Trump's recent support for Bayer and their product Roundup (originally from Monsanto). Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is an herbicide that has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was labeled “probably carcinogenic” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and is the subject of thousands of lawsuits. It is the most-used weedkiller in history. Remi Adeleke is a former Navy SEAL, filmmaker, and author.
