Though he couldn't tell whether it was a government agency or some shadow-drenched cabal, journalist Ole K. became certain of one thing: he was being watched. After a string of nerve-shredding, too-close encounters with whoever, or whatever, was tailing him, Ole managed to secure a second meeting with Lacerta. This time, the enigmatic saurian didn't just dip into ancient history. She dove headfirst into the nature of souls, psychic phenomena, the principles behind what we call magic… and, casually, the underlying framework of reality itself.

In this episode, Newbery Honor-winning author Jasmine Warga takes us behind the scenes of her latest middle grade novel, THE UNLIKELY TALE OF CHASE AND FINNEGAN.

Unraveled in a whirlwind of faith, blood, and red banners, the Taiping Rebellion reshaped 19th-century China and challenged the Qing state from the margins of history to the center of world affairs. This video traces how a millenarian movement, led by Hong Xiuquan, grew from Anhui villages into a vast civil war that destabilized one of Asia's oldest empires. We examine the social discontent that fed the rebellion: famine, taxation, and regional strife, alongside promises of equality, land redistribution, and shared property. As Taiping forces advanced, they carved out a rival capital at Nanjing and installed their own governance, creating a stark alternative to Qing rule. Yet the rebellion's size did not guarantee endurance; internal factionalism, military overreach, and logistical struggles drained resources, while disciplined Qing counteroffensives gradually reclaimed ground. The narrative also situates the conflict in a global context, showing how Western powers and the Second Opium War influenced contemporary strategies and diplomacy, sometimes offering support or shaping international responses. By the mid-1860s, oaths, edicts, and mountains of corpses underscored the human cost of civil war, and the Qing dynasty slowly recovered its authority at enormous price. The Taiping legacy persists in discussions of reform, regionalism, and rebellion's limits as a catalyst for state modernization. Viewers will leave with a clearer sense of how ideology, leadership, geography, and external pressures converged to end one of history's most devastating uprisings and to redefine China's path forward. This exploration reveals why this rebellion remains a turning point in modern Chinese memory.   Don't forget I have a Youtube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbp8JMZizR4zak9wpM3Fvrw/join or my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pacificwarchannel where you can get exclusive content like "What if Japan invaded the USSR during WW2?"

During the American Civil War, clothing became central to the ways people waged war and experienced its cost. Through the clothes they made, wore, mended, lost, and stole, Americans expressed their allegiances, showed their love, confronted their social and economic challenges, subverted expectations, and, ultimately, preserved their history. As the collections they left behind make clear, Civil War Americans believed clothing was not merely a reflection of one's class, gender, race, military rank, political ideology, or taste. Instead, Northerners and Southerners alike understood that clothing—from the weave of a fabric to the style and make of a coat—had the power to affect people's way of living through the war's tumult.In A Nation Unraveled: Clothing, Culture, and Violence in the American Civil War Era (UNC Press, 2026), Dr. Sarah Jones Weicksel reveals the meanings clothing had for Civil War Americans. Contributing to the growing body of scholarship on the material culture of the Civil War, Dr. Weicksel invites readers to understand how the war penetrated daily life by focusing on the intimate, visceral, material experiences that shaped how people moved through the world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Focus: Sin does not stay contained. What begins as mistrust of God quickly spreads into fractured relationships, escalating violence, and disordered communities. As the threads of creation unravel, from the first murder to the flood to the tower of Babel, we confront the sobering reality of sin's reach. Yet even here, God remains present: restraining evil, preserving life, and refusing to let brokenness have the final word. This week calls us to honestly reckon with sin's ripple effects while recognizing God's persistent mercy amid the unraveling. Genesis 4–11

This episode jumps from political fireworks to celebrity intrigue, relationship drama, and spiritual guidance in a way only the Rickey Smiley Morning Show can deliver. The show opens with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s chaotic Capitol Hill hearing, where she repeatedly clashed with lawmakers over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, refused to apologize to survivors seated directly behind her, and engaged in shouting matches that dominated headlines. Meanwhile, the crew dives into viral buzz surrounding Jeannie Mai and Anderson. Paak, who were filmed getting unusually cozy at his West Hollywood restaurant just days before Valentine’s Day — a moment that ignited fresh dating rumors following both stars’ recent divorces. The conversation heats up further as the team unpacks Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ spiraling controversy, fueled by Super Bowl tension, Instagram unfollows, and viral allegations — with multiple reports confirming the couple recently broke up, though some sources hint a reconciliation isn’t impossible. Closing the show on an inspiring note, Bishop Joseph Walker joins to discuss his new book Pursuit of Purpose: Peace by Piece, which encourages readers to view life’s challenges as meaningful fragments that shape one’s divine calling.

The community radio station 88.1 KDHX was a lifeline for eclectic, locally curated music in the St. Louis area — until it was torn apart by battles over diversity, accountability and the essence of the station's identity. It went off the air and its broadcast license was sold to the highest bidder in 2025. In Part 2 of our special report “KDHX: How a radio station unravelled,” we examine how KDHX leaders pushed through a controversial sale in the face of widespread community opposition — and what lessons can be learned from the differing public reactions to the station's 2019 and 2023 controversies. We also witness the birth of "a new era for music in St. Louis."

The community radio station 88.1 KDHX was a lifeline for eclectic, locally curated music in the St. Louis area — until it was torn apart by battles over diversity, accountability and the essence of the station's identity. It went off the air and its broadcast license was sold to the highest bidder in 2025. In Part 1 of our special report “KDHX: How a radio station unraveled,” we examine charges of racism and sexual harassment in 2019 and the start of a DJ revolt four years later, after station leaders fired one of their own for bullying and harassment.

In this episode, Caldecott Honor winning artist Elisha Cooper takes us behind the scenes of his latest picture book, THE RARE BIRD.

In this episode of the MikeForce Podcast, I break down one of the most disturbing cases of government corruption currently unfolding in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley identified 111 million dollars in alleged fraud in a single day tied to a network of daycare providers and healthcare centers operating within the Somali community. These schemes exploited local, state, and federal assistance programs funded by taxpayers and intended to support vulnerable families.What makes this case even more alarming is that multiple government agencies were reportedly aware of the abuse and yet enforcement and accountability have been minimal. Political incentives, bureaucratic paralysis, and fear of backlash have created an environment where corruption is allowed to continue unchecked.We discuss how this fraud was carried out, why oversight failed at every level, and how similar schemes are appearing across the country. We also address why ignoring corruption harms legitimate immigrant families, undermines public trust, and weakens the systems meant to help those truly in need.This conversation is not about race or religion. It is about accountability, the rule of law, and protecting taxpayers. Corruption cannot be ignored simply because it is politically inconvenient.Carnivault - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

Title:  Roadtrippin with Jen + Sharron McMahon:  Awake, Unraveled, and Still Standing  Description: In this live, wide-ranging conversation, Jen Hatmaker is joined by bestselling author and civic educator Sharon McMahon (Sharon Says So) for an honest, funny, and deeply grounding discussion about truth, courage, faith, and what it means to stay awake in uncertain times. Beginning with Sharon joining Jen on stage, the two explore everything from dating after divorce and the wisdom of grandmothers, to how fear and misinformation shape our public life. They reflect on history as a guide, the importance of joy as resistance, and why living fully—especially in anxious seasons—is not a betrayal of others' suffering. Jen also shares hard-won insight about friendship in midlife, faith after certainty, and the real cost of telling the truth. Together, Jen and Sharon remind us that while waking up is disruptive, staying asleep costs more—and that we don't have to navigate this moment alone. Thought-provoking Quotes: “You are not helping anybody by being paralyzed in a state of fear and joylessness.”— Sharon McMahon “There have been people who came before us who lived through so much—and they left their lanterns on the path.” — Sharon McMahon “You do not owe the world a state of paralyzation and fear.”— Sharon McMahon  “One friend can love you back to life. One is enough.” — Jen Hatmaker “Too hard is living asleep at the wheel.”— Jen Hatmaker  “I don't see good fruit from this tree.”  — Jen Hatmaker  “God is not constrained to a building. I didn't lose Jesus.” — Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode:                  ➢ Awake by Jen Hatmaker ➢ Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris ➢ The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan ➢ Works by Anne Lamott ➢ Harriet Tubman (historical reference) Guest's Links: Sharon's Website– https://sharonmcmahon.com/  Sharon's Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/sharonsaysso Sharon's Substack –  https://thepreamble.com/ Sharon's Podcast – https://sharonmcmahon.com/podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Brian Walshe case isn't just about timelines, evidence dumps, and surveillance clips — it's about a mindset. A pattern. A psychological profile that becomes harder to ignore the deeper you look. Today, we're combining the trial's most explosive Day 4 revelations with a full behavioral breakdown from psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, who helps us decode what investigators say they're seeing in real time. In court, jurors learned that Brian Walshe allegedly searched “Ana Walshe found dead” on Christmas Day 2022 — a full week before his defense claims Ana died suddenly and unexpectedly in their bed. Prosecutors also introduced testimony from Ana's boyfriend, William Fastow, who revealed a relationship built on plans, long-term goals, and a future without Brian. Surveillance footage and cell-tower data added even more pressure, placing Brian near dumpsters across multiple apartment complexes in the days after Ana vanished. But the evidence only tells half the story. Shavaun Scott walks us through the psychology underneath it all: the shifting stories, the image-management, the sudden claims that “no one would believe” the truth, and the digital trail investigators say points to preoccupation — not panic. She explains why certain explanations fit a familiar behavioral pattern, and how someone can publicly perform calm normalcy while privately unraveling. This episode connects the emotional framework, the alleged deception, and the forensic timeline into one picture: not speculation, but applied psychological analysis paired with courtroom testimony. If you're trying to understand the gap between what's being said and what's being shown, this conversation lays it out plainly.
