So if you need a new audiobook this winter, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 293 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is March 6th, 2026. Today we are looking at interconnected series/whether they're a good idea or a bad idea for a writer to pursue. We also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Blade of the Elves, Book #3 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That coupon code is ELVES50. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes. The coupon code is valid through March the 16th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook as we head into spring, we have got you covered. Now for an update on my current writing and publishing and audiobook projects. Cloak of Summoning is done and it is out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Bookshop.org, Smashwords, and my own Payhip store. It has done quite well and actually got to number one in its category on Amazon US as of this recording, which is all the more impressive because on March 5th, the day my newsletter went out, Amazon US was down for a significant chunk of the afternoon. Despite that, that doesn't seem to have slowed down Cloak of Summoning any, and it is still going strong. So thank you all very much for that. And as I said, you can now get the book at all the ebook stores. Now that Cloak of Summoning is out and published, my main project is Blade of Wraiths, the fourth book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. I'm currently 28,000 words into it. So I'm hoping if all goes well and nothing comes up, I can have that out sometime in April. My secondary project is Dragon-Mage, which will be the sixth book in the Half-Elven Thief series and I am 1,000 words into that. That will take over as my main project once Blade of Wraiths is done, and hopefully that will be out in May, if all goes well and nothing crazy happens. In audiobook news, Cloak of Titans, as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy, is now available at almost all the audiobook stores, including Audible, Apple, Amazon, Google Play, Kobo, and the other major ones. So you can get that and listen to it at your audiobook store of choice. Brad Wills is currently recording Blade of Storms, which was the third book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series, and he is about halfway through recording that. So hopefully we should have that out in April sometime, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. With that, let's move on to our main topic. 00:02:51 Main Topic of the Week: Interconnected Series Our main topic is today we're going to talk about whether interconnected series are a good thing or a bad thing. First of all, what are interconnected series? Interconnected series have different standalone stories, but share at least some characters and locations from previous series. Many of the ideas and themes carry over as well, but not always. Romance writers use interconnected series. A couple or couples featured in previous series make an appearance in a new place or with a new group of people. Author Abby Jimenez has characters in her romances occupy the same social orbit in Minnesota across multiple series (and of course, they all share a love of the author's real life Minnesota bakery, Nadia Cakes). There's something of a joke among romance writers that your series can be as long as you want it to be, just make sure that the heroine has a large number of single/unattached sisters so that after the heroine has their happily ever after, you can go one by one down through the sisters and make sure they find their love interests and that they too can have their happily ever afters and extend the series for as long as you want. One example of a non-romance interconnected series from books I've written would be Sevenfold Sword, which is a direct follow up to Frostborn. The new series involves Ridmark, Calliande, and the other characters from the Frostborn series, but they are in a new location with new allies, new adventures, and new adversaries. A reader could (and has) read the Sevenfold series without having read Frostborn, but Frostborn fans get more time with characters they like and there are nods to the previous series. I fully intended Sevenfold Sword to be a standalone series, but what I found is that people tend to start Sevenfold Sword and then go back and start Frostborn and read all of Frostborn and then proceed on to Sevenfold Sword. So in that sense, the interconnected series was successful because that led to sales of Frostborn that might not have happened otherwise. So with all that in mind and that introduction, here are four reasons interconnected series can help you as a writer. #1: Readers are already invested. Readers have already spent a substantial amount of time with these characters and places. They have formed a bond with them across the entire previous series and are excited to spend more time with them and find out more about them. Even a brief appearance from returning characters feels exciting to readers. A very recent example of this from pop culture is how the TV show The Paper used a character from the US version of The Office. Because audiences are familiar with the character of Oscar in Accounting (who is the only returning character thus far), they are interested in seeing what he's doing and why he's in Toledo instead of Scranton. Also, his reaction to seeing a documentary crew at work again is exactly what you expect that it would be and is a great moment of humor that perfectly fits the character's personality. The show does mention some small things from the previous series, like a quote from Michael Scott, but it's certainly not a classic spinoff and is very much its own creation, reflecting how both office culture and humor have changed a great deal in the over 20 years since the US Office first began airing. #2: You already are invested as the writer, if you are the one writing the interconnected series. Writers as well as readers can get invested in a set of characters in the world building in a certain series and they're excited to continue. This is especially true if you haven't yet concluded the character's external and internal conflict arcs, because I have found after 171 books that it is generally easier to write a character that has an ongoing conflict instead of one that has all of his or her conflicts resolved. It's also a bit easier to write in a series over the long term because in a certain sense it's less work because you don't have to create everything from scratch. Cloak of Summoning was the 14th Cloak Mage book, but counting Cloak Games, it is the 26th overall book with Nadia as the main protagonist. By now, I'm very familiar with how Nadia thinks and acts and what she would do in any given situation and the rules of her world and setting are very well established. And so in some sense that makes it easier to write because I don't have to create everything from scratch again in terms of the worldbuilding. It's also in some ways easier to generate the sort of enthusiastic energy to write the book because people are very frequently asking when the next Nadia book is going to come out. So that is heartening for morale, so to speak, as one is writing the book, the knowledge that people are actively waiting to read it once it is finally published. #3: You can use ideas you weren't able to in the previous series or expand on existing characters. It's often said that there are more ideas than time for a writer. Interconnected series lets you use some of the ideas that didn't make sense to use in a previous series and lets you build on the world you have already created. It's exciting to watch characters grow and see how familiar places evolve as time has passed. For example, my Blades of Ruin series returns to the world of Sevenfold Sword in the Kingdom of Owyllain, but a century has passed and the humans from the previous series have died of old age. How did the culture of Owyllain evolve and change in that length of time? How did changes in the monarchy create new problems and enable new enemies and how else did the world change? For example, Sevenfold Sword did not have goblins when I wrote it, but in the century since, the goblins that appeared in the Dragontiarna series have migrated to Owyllain and set up their own new kingdom on the borders. This also is something I explicitly did in Cloak of Summoning. In one of the previous books, I mentioned that $34 million was stolen from one of the organizations aligned with the protagonist, so that is the major plot hook for this book, trying to figure out who stole that money and why. In addition, I'm able to expand on several ideas from the previous books, such as the Forerunner, Grayhold, and some of the other characters and expand on them and use them in the book in a way I wasn't really able to in previous books. So being able to do that as a writer is very enjoyable. #4: A series is often easier to market. New series are famously much harder to market than a continuation or interconnected series. It's easier to hook people when there is some amount of familiarity involved. After all, after 171 books, I've started a few new series from scratch and it is definitely harder to get those off the ground than it is to do say, book seven in an ongoing series. Returning to the previous example of the show The Paper, there's a reason that Oscar was featured heavily in the trailers and the promotional materials for the news series, despite being really a secondary character in the show instead of a lead character. Featuring Oscar in the promotions for the new show was a great shorthand for what type and style of show The Paper was going to be, and it made people more interested in the new series than they might have been otherwise. Given that The Paper was apparently renewed for a second season and did well enough to merit a second season, I think that strategy paid off. However, having an interconnected series may be a disadvantage and it may cause you problems. So here are five potential pitfalls and problems to be managed. #1: Managing reader expectations. One thing that can make interconnected series difficult is when your new series diverges from the expectations that readers have based on the previous series. They might feel frustrated when a character has changed significantly and acts differently than they might have before, or if there was a conflict that does not meet the way that something might have happened in a previous series. This can be potentially tricky because for the series to work, for the stories to be interesting, the characters have to evolve and change and grow and experience setbacks, but at the same time, you don't want to drift too far from what drew readers to the series in the first place. I've had a couple of times in my own series when people were not happy about specific plot points in Frostborn or Sevenfold Sword or Silent Order or The Ghosts or Cloak Mage. I think there are two ways to look at that. The first way is what you don't want to do, and this would be an example of what you should avoid. There's a story I read about a Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master who had been running a campaign with his players for two years and it all had the same characters and all the characters had leveled up together, but one of the players was moving away to a new part of the country. So at the last session, the player character in question decided to murder all the other players as he left (their characters rather, not real life murder, of course). Just because he could, just because he felt like being a jerk. That would be the very extreme end of what you do not want to do. It's best to never act out of spite. The better version of that is if you are writing a long series and you have a clear artistic vision about what you want to happen with it, in terms of character development or major plot events or even major characters who get killed, it's best to stick to that and not waffle. Yes, you are going to tick off some people. That is essentially inevitable. If you are going to write something, no matter what you write, it's going to annoy somebody, but it's best to have a clear artistic vision and stick to it. And if you do have dramatic plot developments, it's best to establish them well in advance and then to deal with the consequences as well, because you want to avoid as much "handwavium" as possible. So I think the key to managing reader expectations is to be as transparent as possible. I've had people asking me for the next Cloak Mage book already, even though the new one's only been out for like two days and I've said repeatedly that I'll probably start working on it in May once Dragon-Mage becomes my main project and to also be as reasonable as possible in the writing in terms of making sure everything makes sense as you write it. #2: A second disadvantage is that you may need to help the reader in terms of glossaries, summaries, character lists, et cetera. If a series continues characters, plots, and locations from a previous series, it can be helpful to provide glossaries, plot summaries, or character lists to help refresh their memories or to explain something to a reader who has not read the previous series. Although an interconnected series should largely stand on its own as much as possible, people still feel slighted if there's a reference to something they don't remember or know. In my own books, I have often included a footnote if a reference contains a plot point from a previous book. I've done this in Ghost Armor, Shield War, and Cloak Mage a couple of times, though I haven't done it in Blades of Ruin because it's set a century after the other books. People have responded favorably to those, though I have to admit Cloak of Summoning doesn't have any just because I simply forgot to do them. So I may need to remind myself to do that once we get to Cloak of Frost. But people have responded well to that. I've also done glossaries of characters and glossaries of locations at the end of, let's see, Frostborn, Sevenfold Sword, Dragontiarna, The Shield War, and Ghost Armor and people found those helpful. I may do that for other series if they get long enough to require it. I have seen some authors include summaries of previous books at the start of their new books. I've even seen some traditionally published books that do that as well. I've never done that. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I feel like the book should stand as much on its own as possible. If you need to include the summary at the beginning, there might be something wrong, but on the other hand, some people do like those and do find them helpful. So I think that may come to a "your mileage may vary" experience. #3: The potential disadvantage number three would be adding new characters and evolving old ones. The danger of an interconnected series with a new cast of characters is that readers may not like the new ones as much or they feel cheated that their favorite characters are not there. Having at least one character return gives the reader an audience and anchor while they meet the new characters. It's important to evolve returning characters, but it's also a fine balance to make sure they don't change in a way that's forced or artificial. The famously bad examples of this are the legacy characters in the Star Wars sequel trilogy where the filmmakers made Luke and Han into Sad Old Losers just to make the new characters look better by comparison and that did not work out so well in terms of the movie's reception. The personality needs to reflect what is happening in the new series without sacrificing what readers like best about them from the previous series, which seems to be what happened in the Star Wars sequels. Returning again to The Paper, if Oscar had suddenly become a cheery and high energy middle manager instead of remaining true to his original personality of a slightly prickly and judgmental accountant, it wouldn't have felt true to viewers of The Office who spent nearly a decade with that character. Instead, he remains pretty close to what viewers remember, cautious based on his previous experience with the documentary film crew at work and as the first season goes on, philosophical about the passage of time and his relationship with the documentary crew who have been part of his life for so long, which is a good example of character evolution. I actually think the recent Ghostbusters movies are also a good example of that where the focus is on the new characters, but the legacy characters from the original Ghostbusters movies return and they act as sort of a mentors and sort of guiding authority figures for the new characters. #4: A fourth potential difficulty is gaining new readers with an interconnected series. Many readers have been burned by interconnected series that claim to be standalone, but as they are reading it, they feel lost in allusions to prior events or feel like they're missing information. It's important that even interconnected series stands on its own for readers and that references to the past book actively serve the plot of the current one. Many readers are also completionists and will want to start interconnected series from the first possible starting point. And I've already talked about that with Frostborn and Sevenfold Sword, which makes them less likely to start an interconnected series since they're possibly committing to a huge multiple series at once. #5: And that leads to the fifth and possibly the most serious disadvantage of a long interconnected series like that, what I've called before Marvel Continuity Lockout Syndrome. I've done a previous podcast episode on what I call Marvel Continuity Lockout Syndrome, which refers to the MCU movies. Essentially, a series of interconnected series can go on for so long and reference so many things that it feels daunting for someone to start. The idea of having to catch up or doing homework on dozens of items in order to watch or read something is unbearable for a lot of busy people and most people's memories can't sustain a few decades of content like the Marvel Cinematic Universe now has. This is one reason, in fact, it's probably the main reason that I started the Half Elven Thief series because of Marvel Continuity Lockout Syndrome. I had written Frostborn, Sevenfold Sword, Dragontiarna, Dragonskull and The Shield War. This is this long interconnected series, but I was worried that Marvel Continuity Lockout was affecting its ability to draw in new readers. So I started Half-Elven Thief, which is completely separate and new, and it's done quite well, and I think partly because it doesn't have the sheer daunting scale of someone looking at over 50 connected books set in Andomhaim and Owyllain. To mitigate this as much as possible, I think it's best to make absolutely sure that references to the past series are only necessary for driving the plot of the current one, and that they don't make the story unnecessarily complicated. You can avoid this by following the good rules of story structure. Make sure the protagonist of the book has an interesting conflict that they have to struggle to overcome, and that the central point of the conflict isn't references to past books. So to sum up, interconnected series are a great way to build loyal readers and create more complex characters in worlds. It's becoming more popular in the publishing world in works like Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, which proves that readers are willing to read long and sometimes only loosely interconnected series to keep experiencing a world they enjoy. Just be aware of the potential pitfalls and guard against them as best you can, which fortunately can be done with a proper story structure and a little foresight. So that is it for this week.

What does it actually mean to be "documented" or "undocumented" as a migrant to the USA? What's the lived reality like of existing somewhere in between the two, including under the category of "temporary protected status", or TPS, created by Congress in 1990 for people from countries deemed too unsafe to return to? UCLA sociologist and leading migration expert Cecilia Menjívar joins us to discuss her concept of "liminal legality". Elaborated in a 2006 paper following fieldwork through the 1990s with migrants from Central America, the term remains enduringly relevant in Trump's America - where the administration has moved to roll back TPS for people from countries such as Afghanistan, Venezuela and Syria. A conversation about precarity, lived experience, and policy - and a reminder that "creating a group of people whose rights are diminishing by the day" harms not only those individuals, but all of us.    **Recorded Sept 2025**   Suggested Reading: 'Behind the headlines: Temporary Protected Status', a factsheet from the International Rescue Committee, with links to the latest developments on attempts to end protections for people from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua and Syria '1990: Temporary Protection Status (TPS)' - a research guide from the Library of Congress, A Latinx Resource Guide: Civil Rights Cases and Events in the United States. **including a useful timeline** 'Liminal Legality: Salvadoran and Guatemalan Immigrants' Lives in the United States'  (January 2006) by Cecilia Menjívar in the American Journal of Sociology 'Effects of SB 1070 on Children', by Carlos Santos, Cecilia Menjívar, Erin Godfrey, Pp. 79-92 in Latino Politics and Arizona's Immigration Law SB 1070, edited by Lisa Magaña and Erik Lee. New York: Springer 2013 'Temporary Protected Status for Central American Immigrants: Advancing Immigrant Integration Despite Its Uncertainty' (2020) a policy report by Cecilia Menjívar 'The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure' (1969) by Victor Turner Update, September 2025: "Judge rules ending protections for Venezuelan and Haitian migrants is unlawful" (BBC News) The work of the National Temporary Protected Status Alliance On the Reagan-backed wars in the 1980s: 'Central America, 1981–1993' from the US Office of the Historian ** An updated TPS factsheet on the status of various designations, from the National Immigration Forum. This includes updates re: Haiti, Venezuela and Syria **   Active listening questions: What did Cecilia mean by "liminal legality" when she coined the term in her 2006 paper? And how is it manifest today?  How might geopolitics play a role in whether an individual with a given nationality is labelled as a refugees or asylum seeker? Why is it important to look beyond labour market experience when we consider the experience of people labelled as migrants? What and what stands to gain when minoritised or vulnerable people are rendered "impermanent" or "temporary"? What does Cecilia's approach show about the value of using sociological research and analysis to complicate seemingly neat binaries?  Cecilia talks about how the precaritisation of some people's migration status "reverberates across US society", impacting us all. What does she mean by this and how does it connect with what Michaela speaks of as "de-migrantising" migration research? 

US Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor and Academy President and CEO James-Christian Blockwood sat down for a discussion in front of a live audience during the 2025 National Conference in Washington, D.C. on November 3. The conversation covered a wide range of topics including ongoing plans for resizing and reshaping the federal workforce, how to attract early career people to public service, and the role technology is likely to play over the rest of the second Trump Administration. Management Matters is a presentation of the National Academy of Public Administration produced by Lizzie Alwan and Matt Hampton and edited by Matt Hampton. Support the Podcast Today at: donate@napawash.org or 202-347-3190Episode music: Hope by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comFollow us on YouTube for clips and more: @NAPAWASH_YT

What is the role of government when it comes to enabling and protecting the business of space? How do regulations keep up (or not) with innovation? To what degree is Space Situational Awareness (SSA) inherently a government function like highway or maritime safety, and which agency should take responsibility? In this episode we talk to former Directors of the US Office of Space Commerce (OSC) about their experience across multiple White House administrations, and the history and future of decision-making in the newly elevated agency-level office.  Christine Joseph, The Aerospace Corporation and former advisor at OSC talks to Kevin O'Connell, now CEO of Space Economy Rising and Richard DalBello now Principal at RDB Space.  This episode is part of the Going Faster Series that discusses various facets of speed, agility, innovation, and rapid deployment in national security, civil, and commercial space.    Available by video or podcast. The Space Policy Show is produced by The Aerospace Corporation's Center for Space Policy and Strategy. It is a virtual series covering a broad set of topics that span across the space enterprise. CSPS brings together experts from within Aerospace, the government, academia, business, nonprofits, and the national labs. The show and their podcasts are an opportunity to learn about and to stay engaged with the larger space policy community. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch all episodes!

Klearcom, a leading provider of global contact centre testing solutions, today announces that it has established its first physical base in the US with the opening of a new office in Boonton, New Jersey. To facilitate this growth, Klearcom will hire 20 new team members in the US. The announcement has been welcomed by Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment of Ireland. Headquartered in Waterford, Klearcom is currently pursuing aggressive growth in the US market. The new base will enable Klearcom to acquire more US-based customers and strengthen relationships with existing clients, such as Google, Mastercard and Visa. This will help the company to grow its share in the interactive voice response (IVR) market, currently valued at $5.9BN and growing at a rate of 7% per annum. The new hires, to be appointed across sales and customer service over the next 12 months, represent a significant investment from Klearcom. They, and the New Jersey base, will be central to enhancing service delivery and providing on-the-ground support to Klearcom's growing US customer base. As the IVR market continues to grow at pace, the expansion will ensure Klearcom stays ahead of market challenges and seizes new opportunities. At the same time, Klearcom will continue to deliver reliable and quality testing for businesses' automated voice systems, especially within critical customer service channels. The expansion will facilitate faster onboarding, greater support and a more personalised service, enabling the company to align more closely with US business priorities, time zones and escalation needs. Mark Rohan, co-founder and chief operating officer, Klearcom, said: "The US market is vital to Klearcom's growth strategy. As such, this announcement is not only a mark of our success in the US to-date, but also our commitment to businesses there. And, while this is our first office in the US, it will not be our only one. "For us, the expansion comes at the perfect time as businesses increasingly demand cutting-edge technology over outdated legacy systems. Our AI-driven IVR testing is the fastest in the world, enabling enterprises to quickly identify and resolve issues within their telecom system infrastructure, and cementing our position as the leading provider of contact centre testing solutions. "Our US office doesn't just mean faster response times - it means being on the ground, right where our customers need us most." Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment of Ireland, said: "Klearcom is a prime example of an Irish company whose ambition has driven impressive growth on the global stage. This next step in the company's journey will open the door to exceptional opportunities within the United States, which have the potential to take the business to new heights. I look forward to watching the team's progress as they grow their footprint in this important market." See more stories here.

Leading simulation data company VRAI have announced they will open their first US office in Orlando, Florida having raised a $5m (£4.2m) investment round to fund their US growth. VRAI is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, expanded into the UK in 2020, and is now looking to grow its presence in the US over the next three years. VRAI plans to double its overall employee headcount from 25 to 50 and triple annual revenues from €5m to €15m over the next three years. VRAI will be creating up to 10 high value jobs in their first year in Orlando, including BD & sales, customer solutions engineers, data engineers and software developers, as well as relocating some senior leadership to show our commitment to the market. VRAI is seen as one of the niche leaders in the simulation data space in Europe, and is now looking to bring its cutting edge products to the US market. VRAI provides human performance data products for simulation training in aerospace, defence, security and offshore renewable industries. Orlando is the global hub for simulation and training with the National Centre for Simulation based there, of which VRAI have been a member since 2017, which sees simulation end users such as the US Army, Air Force and Navy, industry and research community working together on over $6bn worth of contracts annually. VRAIs initial office will be located in Research Park, next to the University of Central Florida and in the heart of global hub of simulation end users, companies and research community. VRAI's first three local contractors are all US military Veterans with decades of experience in simulation. In addition to Orlando being the global hub for simulation, Florida is the 16th largest global economy in its own right worth $1.2tn annually, is ranked as the No 1 state in the US for entrepreneurship and No 1 for attracting talent. Irish electrical and electronic equipment exports to the US were worth $1.1bn in 2023 and there are currently over 900 Irish owned companies exporting to the United States. Ireland is now the 6th largest source of foreign direct investment into the US, with the value of investment by Irish companies worth $322bn in 2023. VRAI CEO Pat O'Connor commented: "We believe that the insights we can deliver from human performance data can transform how simulation is delivered, and ultimately how people are trained. Orlando is the best place we could invest to make that happen, as the global hub for simulation. We are excited to be investing $5m in our US Office, we look forward to bringing our niche leading technology here, creating high value jobs and scaling our operations in the US from Orlando." Consul General of Ireland in Miami, Sarah Kavanagh, said: "We are thrilled to see this significant investment in Florida by VRAI. Ireland and Florida are both leaders in innovation and share an important bilateral investment and trade relationship. Currently, Irish companies employ 15,700 people across a range of industries all across the great state of Florida, and the Consulate will continue to support and grow that important investment." Carol Ann Logue, Director, Innovation Districts Programs & Operations, University of Central Florida, said: "VRAI is a perfect example of who we want to bring to Central Florida through the Soft Landing Program as they have a significant track record of success already and has the potential to become a major company in our region too," says. "Their technology can improve the data coming from simulations and we're looking forward to being a part of their expansion into this market." See more stories here.

What is the primary concern regarding the use of WhatsApp and other encrypted messaging apps recently? Recent reports indicate that spyware, specifically "Graphite," has been used to target journalists and civil society members through zero-click attacks on encrypted apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal. This means that these apps are not as secure as previously thought, even though they employ end-to-end encryption. The spyware can infect devices without any user interaction and potentially compromise communication data. What are the security vulnerabilities identified in certain healthcare patient monitors? The FDA has highlighted cybersecurity issues in Contec's CMS8000 and Epsimed's MN-120 patient monitors. These devices, when connected to the internet, are susceptible to unauthorized remote control, software backdoors, and data breaches containing personal health information. One backdoor was linked to a Chinese IP address, raising additional concerns about foreign access to sensitive health data. Why has the Chinese AI chatbot, DeepSeek, been banned in Italy and Taiwan? Italy's data protection agency blocked DeepSeek because its developers did not adequately explain how user data is collected or confirm whether it's stored on Chinese servers. Taiwan's digital ministry also banned the use of DeepSeek by government departments, citing security concerns related to its Chinese origin. What led to DeepSeek's data being exposed online and what kind of information was affected? Cybersecurity firm Wiz discovered a significant amount of sensitive data from DeepSeek was left unsecured on the open internet due to an apparent misconfiguration. This data included over a million lines of data such as digital software keys and user chat logs. What is Senator Hawley's proposed bill regarding Chinese AI models, and what could be the consequences for individuals? Senator Josh Hawley has introduced the "Decoupling America's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act," which aims to criminalize the import, export, and collaboration on AI technology with China. Under the proposed law, knowingly downloading a Chinese AI model, such as DeepSeek, could lead to severe penalties, including up to 20 years in prison, a million-dollar fine, or both. The bill reflects growing concerns about national security and the potential for China to leverage AI for hostile purposes. How is Amazon being accused of tracking consumers, and what type of data are they allegedly collecting? Amazon is facing a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of secretly tracking consumers' movements through their cellphones via its Amazon Ads SDK, embedded within third-party apps. It's alleged that the SDK collects sensitive geolocation data without users' explicit consent, such as IP addresses, location, ISP, device info, and network performance metrics. This data is used to build a detailed picture of consumers' habits and preferences, raising privacy concerns about corporate surveillance. What restrictions are being placed on open-source contributions, and who is being affected? The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions are imposing restrictions on open-source contributions from sanctioned individuals and countries. Developers from nations such as Russia, Iran, and North Korea are facing challenges when contributing to open-source projects due to these sanctions. How is Cloudflare addressing image authenticity concerns, and what are the potential benefits? Cloudflare has implemented Content Credentials, a system based on C2PA standards, that embeds metadata into images to track their origin and modifications. This system helps distinguish between genuine and manipulated content. The benefits are significant, as Cloudflare's network handles approximately 20% of global internet traffic, greatly increasing the potential reach of the system. This helps create trust in digital images, and preserves the work of digital creators.

Amidst an escalating trade war as President Trump imposes tariffs, triggering significant market declines, what does China's DeepSeek AI's disruptive force mean for the AI infrastructure investment theme? Michelle Martin speaks with Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment, Providend and their conversation unpacks the impact on AI investments alongside surprises in S&P 500 earnings and recent Fed policy moves. Both also explore how US property S-REITs are quietly feeling the effects of these sweeping changes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The recent expansions of the US Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) vessel sanction list have sent shockwaves throughout the tankers and crude oil markets, raising questions about potential shifts in crude import strategies for China and India. Market participants are closely monitoring the extent to which Iranian and Russian crude exports may be disrupted, how major importers like China and India are adapting, and how sanctions may evolve under the new US administration. In this episode, Benjamin Tang, liquid bulk team lead at S&P Global Commodities at Sea, is joined by Yen Ling Song, associate director for S&P Global Commodities at Sea, and Sameer Mohindru, senior editor for shipping and freight at S&P Global Commodity Insights to discuss the implications of the latest US sanctions targeting Russia's oil tanker fleet and their far-reaching effects on global oil markets.

KIT TURNER worked for 25 years as an undercover CIA officer in East Asia, South Asia, and Europe, where he ran sensitive operations against top-tier objectives. After one risky deployment, he was awarded the Intelligence Star, a rare commendation for valor. After retiring, Turner wrote “The CASSIA Spy Ring” (McFarland & Co., 2017), a nonfiction book about an ill-fated coterie of agents handled by the US Office of Strategic Services, the CIA's forerunner. In 2022, CASSIA was featured in a two-part True Spies podcast narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Vanessa Kirby. The Children of Outer Darkness is his latest novel.

I'll pick up where I left off last week, with the storming of the Bastille and the fall of the "ancien regime." We'll explore how, over the next few years, this new France will become more of a hellscape than a paradise. As a radical group, the Jacobins, seizes control, distopia ensues with the September Massacres of 1792, the "Reign of Terror" spanning 1793 to 1794, and the executions of the monarchy.

This week I discuss the events leading up to the outbreak of the French Revolution during the summer of 1789. You'll learn how Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette came to find themselves on the French throne at a time when the system, that had worked for centuries, was beginning to fail. Shifting social classes, failing harvests, population booms, and economic busts will begin to fuel a runaway sensational media. As the newspapers and pamphlets hit the streets, stirring up fear and panic, pandemonium breaks out amongst the people who arm themselves with weapons and sheer determination to end the toxic "ancien régime."Support the show! Join the PatreonBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: biography.com "Louis XVI"history.com "French Revolution"history.com "Marie Antoinette"Encyclopedia Britannica "French Revolution"US Office of the Historian "The United States and the French Revolution"Chateau de VersaillesShoot me a message!

Send us a textThis is not your 2005 Fever Pitch.  We watch the 1997 Fever Pitch with Colin Firth so you don't have to.  But if you're a fan of Mr. Darcy, maybe you still want to. If your a fan of Arsenal FC, maybe you still want to. We talk Firth Fros, how dumb it is to be a sports fan, even though we still are, and the differences between UK versions of things and their US counterparts. Meaning we talk about this movie and the 2005 version and the UK Office and the US Office. And we get in to hot water with some hot takes about soccer/football. Come for the banter and stay to get really mad at us, or agree with us. Either way, as long as you stay.Next episode: Gleaming the Cube (and yes, we make jokes about that title too)Gleaming the Cube is on Amazon Prime or you can borrow it from your local library.Support the showTwitter: @slowpitchcastInstagram: @slowpitchpodcastEmail: slowpitchthepodcast@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/slowpitchpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/slowpitch

Biden says that an all out war in the Middle East is possible. This after the Wall Street Journal reports that Israel is preparing for possible invasion of Lebanon as Hezbollah fires missiles at Tel Aviv. Are Biden and Kamala to blame for this situation?    Then Iran releases a video on twitter that shows them hacking into Mara Lago cameras and assassinating Trump. Trump tells Iran or anyone a threat to him or an American that we'll blow up their biggest city, or their whole country, if they try to assassinate him or any other US Office. Was it wise for him to say this?Support the show: http://www.wbap.com/chris-krok/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The attack on Israel makes me think of Eagle Pass, Texas.Israel has come under attack from Hamas. War is horrific, but we must also recognize that Hamas and Israel are not the same. Hamas is sponsored by Iran, who received 6 billion dollars from the Figurehead on 9/11 of 2023 and was also a subject of obsession for Barack Hussein Obama during his time in office . In addition to this, in August of this year, we learned that weapons that General “White Rage” left for the Taliban have found their way into the hands of Hamas. Hundreds of people have been killed by Hamas; women and children murdered. This is reminiscent of Eagle Pass, Texas and the situation at our southern border. We have to believe that our southern border is not being taken advantage of by Hamas, but the fact is that they are here. Why would they not be?What does God's Word say? 16 Bible Verses about God's Love For IsraelEpisode 1,134 Links:At least 100 dead as Hamas launches unprecedented attack on Israel, Netanyahu says nation is 'at war'; At least 40 were killed and hundreds wounded as Hamas terrorists launched rocket attacks and invaded Israel with gunsHere's what the US Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted and then deletedMinutes later, the people who run Joe Biden released this on his behalfDeSantis's statement -- one of twoThis is MSNBC's response - AymanM on MSNBC … of COURSE he doesn't mention Iran Biden Admin Raised Concerns Palestinian Aid Would Boost Hamas.
