Taylor Swift's twelfth album has sparked endless speculation about who each song is "really about," but that might be the wrong question entirely. The Life of a Showgirl isn't biography, it's polyphonic auto-fiction, where Swift writes from multiple character perspectives while blurring the lines between autobiography and theatrical performance. The album's "showgirl sound" traces from Shakespearean tragedy (Ophelia's drowning rewritten as salvation) through Golden Age Hollywood orchestration to contemporary pop production with Max Martin and Shellback. Unusual musical choices like the jarring five-measure phrase in "Fate of Ophelia" reinforce the album's central theme: the tension between public performance and private reality. By treating the album as a theatrical show rather than a celebrity tell-all, listeners can finally hear what Swift is actually saying… or can they?

On Tuesday, the top U.S. generals will meet at Quantico for an audience with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump. Hegseth's order for the gathering comes on the heels of the firing of top military officers. It also lands in the middle of Hegseth's attempts to purge the military of DEI initiatives and programs that he sees as not aligned with the military's core mission of “lethality.” President Trump is expected to address the group. His speech comes after his recent order to send the National Guard into “war ravaged” Portland, Oregon, over the objection of local officials. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Pentagon reporter Dan Lamothe about how The Post broke the story of the generals' meeting, the logistics of gathering so many senior military officials in one place, and the optics of the president and defense secretary speeches to the top brass.Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy with help from Laura Benshoff.

The mini series is part of Afar's "52 Places to Travel in the U.S. This Year" story, and in this fourth episode, host Aislyn Greene takes us to Illinois to explore the towering fiberglass giants that once ruled America's highways. From Bob Prewitt's rodeo horse trailers to Texaco's massive "Big Friend" campaign, this episode reveals how a cowboy's creativity sparked a nationwide phenomenon of supersized roadside advertising—and how one man's obsession saved these giants from extinction. On this episode you'll learn How rodeo cowboy Bob Prewitt accidentally launched the fiberglass giant industry while building horse trailers in 1960s California Why these towering figures became known as "Muffler Men" despite most never holding mufflers The story behind Texaco's ambitious Big Friend program that deployed 300 twenty-three-foot servicemen across America—and why it failed spectacularly How oil companies like Phillips 66 and Texaco drove the nationwide expansion of roadside giants in the 1960s What happened when Texaco ordered all their giants destroyed, echoing Cecil B. DeMille's Hollywood set demolitions Why Joel Baker became America's leading expert on fiberglass giants and opened the country's only dedicated museum How the American Giants Museum on Route 66 preserves these analog attractions for smartphone-era visitors Featured Expert: Joel Baker, founder of the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois Stay Connected Sign up for our podcast newsletter, Behind the Mic, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.

This week on Gastropod, a feast of fruits! Specifically, feijoa and durian—and, if you haven't heard of either, you're not alone. Unlike the ubiquitous strawberry or banana, durian and feijoa are only popular in a handful of countries and almost unknown in the US, and we wanted to know why—especially because the people who love them really love them. For New Zealanders, like journalist Kate Evans, feijoa is *the* taste of home, even though it's almost forgotten in its original homeland, in Brazil and Uruguay. Meanwhile, the smell of the durian is so intense and distinctive—Julia Child likened it to “dead babies mixed with strawberries and Camembert”—that it's famously banned from public transportation in Singapore. But for durian lovers, like the cancer expert who decoded the fruit's genome, it inspires something close to obsession. Join us this episode for a weird fruit adventure, as we discover why the durian and feijoa inspire such strong feelings, and why they never made it big in the US. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Ron Steslow and Greg Brower (Fmr. Assistant Director of the FBI and U.S. Attorney in Nevada) unpack what's real—and what isn't—in the Epstein investigations. They walk through the unusual non-prosecution agreement for Epstein in Florida, how victims' rights weren't honored, and why additional prosecutions may not have materialized. Then, they dig into the politics: the House Oversight investigation, whether it's for show, and the discharge petition that could force a vote. In Politicology+ they discuss how the Epstein scandal intersects with the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution and whether lawmakers could read the Epstein “list” in congress.

White House Down was one of two action movies set in the nation's capitol in 2013. And it is the far inferior one. Despite costing $80 million more than Olympus Has Fallen, White House Down looks and plays like a cheap replica of the former. Its PG-13 rating is also watered down, robbing the film of any potential for over the top violence. We thought this was America, damnit! Now, sit back, lock and load an X Hero IPA from Revolution Brewing, and keep your hands off the President's Jordans!

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

Voices said, "Welcome Back, We're So Glad You're Home." At 26 years old and eight months pregnant, psychotherapist Deborah “Deb” Hanie survived a head-on collision that triggered a profound near-death experience (NDE). Instead of a tunnel of light, Deb describes entering “the void”—a dark, peaceful expanse filled with loving, luminous beings who told her she could stay or return because she “had a baby.” Choosing to come back meant waking to excruciating pain and a difficult recovery, but it also opened a spiritual path: work with Stanislav Grof's ideas, shamanic training, and hospice “journeying” with people at the end of life. Deb shares how her son carried prenatal trauma, why the return can be harsher than the leaving, and two extraordinary deathbed stories—including her scientist father's passing, escorted by a circle of elephants into the light.

A new era begins in this 686th edition of Have You Ever Seen as Ryan talks about David Lynch's mainstream breakout after Eraserhead got him noticed by this film's executive producer, Mel Brooks. The Elephant Man stars Oscar nominee John Hurt in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as his sympathetic doctor. Unusual for Lynch, his B&W biographical character piece doesn't have sex, gory violence or bad language. It's just a sensitive, affecting, sometimes sad tale about compassion, acceptance and goodness. And also John/Joseph Merrick's life-changing deformities. Hurt's makeup really was incredible. So lay down for a nap, but make sure to put your earbuds in before you doze off as this show digs into The Terrible Elephant Man.

Frizz and Bob crank up the neon and dive into one of the most fearless and fabulously weird pop debuts of all time: She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper. Frizz brings out her wild side with Wild Turkey 101 while Bob brings the spice with Ole George Rye. We explore how a thrift-store fashion queen with a four-octave voice and endless heart rewrote the rules for women in pop. From feminist anthems to filthy controversies, Cyndi turned cover songs into queer-coded ballads, danced through our TV screens, and even changed pro wrestling forever. It's one of the most iconic albums of the '80s - so come she-bop, belt, and dance with us as we raise a glass to the defiant and totally unforgettable Ms. Lauper.

Intel's recent agreement with the U.S. government includes a controversial clause that allows the federal government to acquire an additional 5% stake in the company if it loses control of its foundry business. This unusual provision has raised concerns among stakeholders, including investors and employees, as it signifies a level of government intervention in corporate governance that is not typically seen in the U.S. The deal is still being finalized, and the implications for Intel's operations and the broader tech industry remain to be seen.A recent report highlights that Gen Z, despite being digital natives, exhibits poorer cybersecurity practices compared to baby boomers. Only 30% of Gen Z regularly change their passwords, and a mere 36% use antivirus software. This generation's trust in technology is evident, with 18% comfortable allowing AI to act on their behalf. However, the report also notes that 91% of Gen Z believes data security training should be a workplace priority, indicating a desire for improvement in their cybersecurity habits.The threat landscape is evolving, with the emergence of AI-powered ransomware, specifically a strain named PromptLock, which is currently under development. This ransomware utilizes AI to generate scripts for data exfiltration and encryption in real time, posing significant challenges for cybersecurity defenses. Additionally, the ransomware gang Storm-0501 has shifted its focus to cloud data, exploiting accounts without multi-factor authentication to exfiltrate sensitive information and demand ransoms through platforms like Microsoft Teams.The podcast also discusses the cooling hype surrounding AI technologies, particularly following the underwhelming launch of GPT-5. Only 5% of companies have successfully converted AI into revenue, leading to a market correction in the tech sector. As managed service providers increasingly adopt AI tools, questions arise about the long-term implications for workforce development and the potential risks associated with over-investing in emerging technologies. The conversation emphasizes the need for MSPs to focus on governance, compliance, and responsible use of AI while navigating the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and technology.

#OzWatch: 1919: Sydney 1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season. New South Wales has seen snow at exceptionally low altitudes (300-400 feet, near sea level), while tropical Queensland faced cold, windy, and wet conditions. The southern continent endured blustery conditions and significant wind damage, with Victoria experiencing sustained winds of 60-65 mph, much stronger than usual. Most remarkably, two "fast-moving tornadoes" struck Adelaide's northern suburbs, a city whose stable, dry climate typically prevents such formations. The Bureau attributes this to a combination of La Niña-like conditions (warmer Pacific, more moisture), the Indian Ocean Dipole(cooler Indian Ocean), and a sudden Antarctic blast that trapped cold air over the continent, creating intense weather. Meteorologists are reportedly "scratching their heads" about the system, anticipating "wild, freaky weather" and an extended winter.1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season.
