Many of us have been grieved by the polarization we see rending so many churches. What role has this played in America's growing secularization and what our guest has called “the great dechurching”? And is that dechurching now actually in reverse? Fundamentally, what can we do to pursue the flourishing of both the church and the nation?In this episode, our guide is Ryan Burge, an ordained minister, best-selling author and professor of practice at the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University. His book The Vanishing Church draws upon his scholarship as a data scientist, and his experience as a pastor, to explore how the church has been harmed by, and can offer healing from, the excesses of political combat and division:"[Attending church] is just good for your soul. It's just good for you as a person to be part of a community like that ... I think it's actually going to be good for democracy for you to realize what it's like to go ... get in the real world and realize it's actually a cool place to hang out, and there's value in that."This episode is drawn from an online conversation recorded in 2026.

In June 1948, 21-year-old Mary Virginia Carpenter left Texarkana for college in Denton, Texas. She was last seen after a taxi dropped her near Brackenridge Hall at Texas State College for Women. The letter she promised her mother never came, and neither did Virginia. More than 70 years later, her disappearance remains one of Denton's quiet, enduring mysteries.

When Henry VIII died at Whitehall Palace in January 1547, England faced a dangerous moment. His heir was nine years old, power was about to shift, and the death of a king had to be handled with extreme care. In this video, we follow Henry VIII from his deathbed through one of the most elaborate royal funerals of the sixteenth century. We look at how his body was prepared, why his burial was delayed, how the funeral procession moved from Whitehall to Windsor, and what those towering candle-filled hearses actually were. Along the way, we examine one of the most enduring stories associated with Henry's death - the claim that his coffin burst open at Syon Abbey - and why that story almost certainly isn't true. We also explore Henry's plans for a monumental tomb and a perpetual chantry at St George's Chapel, Windsor, and why neither was ever completed. Despite the scale of his funeral, Henry VIII ended up buried without a visible monument, his vault unmarked for centuries.

It was supposed to be a fun night of celebrating followed by a day of leisure when Tyler Davis and his wife, Brittany dropped their young son off at Tyler's parents and headed to nearby Columbus, Ohio to celebrate Brittany's birthday in February of 2019. After all, the pair worked hard and rarely had any time for fun. But what was supposed to be a relaxing time and a break from reality would turn to panic when Tyler failed to return back to the couple's hotel room after a long night out together. Tyler and Brittany traded several calls in the early morning hours, in one of which Tyler said he could see the hotel and would be there in 5 minutes. But minutes turned to hours, then hours to days, weeks to months. Now, 6 year later, there are still no answers as to what happened to Tyler Davis in the middle of the night on February 24, 2019. Join me and my special guest, friend, colleague and former Columbus resident as we discuss the puzzling case of Tyler Davis, and what might have happened to him in one of the busiest areas of the city. Check us out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@143mysteriesFor sources and episode information: http://143mysteries.comFor photos: https://www.instagram.com/143mysteries/One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds is dedicated to my number one fan.

As Liverpool delay major recruitment until the summer, Trev Downey and Dave Davis examine the danger of watching defensive targets slip away. From Guéhi's move to Manchester City to Chelsea's pursuit of Jacquet, they discuss how the market is thinning rapidly. The conversation covers Liverpool's interest in Van de Ven and Bastoni, concerns over price, injuries and tactical fit, and the unresolved futures of Konaté and Robertson. This cut highlights the risk of entering the summer needing multiple defenders in a market where elite options are already being removed. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rise of the "Nones" and the Politics Driving People Out of Church   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Ryan Burge joins Curtis Chang to explore The Vanishing Church and the decline of moderate American congregations, using hard data and his lived experience as a longtime pastor, political scientist, and statistician. Ryan and Curtis explore how evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and the religious "nones" are changing—and what that means for polarization, social cohesion, and democracy in America. Burge offers a practical challenge for the lonely or spiritually curious—show up to church even if you don't believe—and makes a case for gratitude and community in an anxious age.   06:25 - Evangelicals: Political Shift and Homogeneity 13:59 - Mainline Protestants: Decline and Diversity 19:06 - Aging and Future of Mainline Churches 23:05 - American Catholics: Stability and Rightward Shift 28:31 - Priest Shortages and Cultural Challenges 30:36 - The Rise of the Nones 31:25 - Political Drivers of Religious Disaffiliation 40:17 - Polarization: Politics and Economics 47:54 - Addressing Polarization: Individual Responsibility 50:23 - Advice for Pastors: Preaching Beyond Politics 52:31 - Signs of Hope and Gratitude   Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Mentioned In This Episode: Ryan Burge's The Vanishing Church: How the Hollowing Out of Moderate Congregations Is Hurting Democracy, Faith, and Us (Why the Culture Wars Led to Polarization and What We Can Do About It) Read Ephesians 3:10 (ESV) Read Colossians 1:16-18 (ESV) Danforth Center on Religion and Politics Ryan Burge, Michael Graham, and Jim Davis' The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?

Message us ANONYMOUSLYSo, someone involved with marketing/promoting this new Dutch movie “Reedland” (2025 d. Sven Bresser) reached out to us. They were like “wanna do…whatever it is you do, we don't really know/care, with it,” and we were like “how did you find us? Are you sure YOU think this is a good idea?” They were like “yep. Watch it and do the dance.” And we're like "uuummm, OK.” Then we did the episode, and sent it to them for approval. They were like “wow. Approved. Give these chimps the Nobel Peace Prize.” So, we're just waiting for that now.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 15, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today's show with Democrat lawmakers, in multiple states, who are openly pushing bills to block, undermine, and hobble federal ICE agents—despite clear constitutional authority under the Supremacy Clause. This isn’t about legal ambiguity; it’s about defying laws they don’t like and protecting a political agenda. We're laying it out bluntly: these state efforts will fail in court, waste millions in taxpayer dollars, and further embolden lawlessness. Weakening ICE doesn’t help vulnerable communities—it hurts them the most by driving up crime, suppressing wages, and draining resources from American citizens. This is a line in the sand moment. You’re either for the rule of law and law enforcement, or you’re for chaos and ideological nullification of the Constitution. There is no middle ground. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things you Need to Know. President Trump unveiled a new healthcare plan. Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote blocking a rebuke of President Trump's Venezuela policies. Another oil tanker leaving Venezuela has been seized by the United States. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We don’t hold back as we react to what’s going on in Minnesota — and it’s not just a “local issue,” it’s a crisis of law and order. Democrat politicians in the state are openly encouraging people to defy lawful orders from law enforcement and interfere with ICE operations, even as violent clashes escalate. In Minneapolis, federal immigration enforcement has drawn massive protests after the fatal shooting of a woman during an ICE operation and a separate incident where a Venezuelan man and others assaulted an ICE agent with a shovel and broomstick, forcing the agent to fire in self-defense. When local leaders stoke resistance to federal law enforcement, what do you think is going to happen? This isn’t peaceful protest — it’s chaos, violence against officers, and the kind of breakdown in public safety that puts everyone at risk. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. Are we seeing more celebrities and public figures openly embrace conservative values? The Mamas weigh in, reacting to some surprising “red-pill” moments—from Nicki Minaj speaking out about faith and global issues, to longtime quiet conservatives like Patricia Heaton finally opening up about what it was like to be a political “unicorn” in Hollywood. The conversation hits on why more famous voices are stepping out now: social media, the collapse of trust in legacy media, and people realizing they don’t have to think the way the culture tells them to. From Michael Rapaport’s political flip to growing shifts in the Black community, the Mamas argue this isn’t about following a trend—it’s about people thinking for themselves, finding community, and giving others the confidence to say, “I’m not alone, and I don’t have to stay quiet anymore.” If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 With more than 500 million firearms now in civilian hands, America is still governed by consent—not force. The Second Amendment isn’t just about personal protection; it’s about sovereignty, self-defense, and making tyranny too costly to even attempt. Compare that to places like Britain New York, and California where strict gun control hasn’t produced safety—it’s produced more crime, more surveillance, and more government overreach, while criminals stay armed and law-abiding citizens get disarmed. The bottom line? When power shifts away from citizens, it doesn’t disappear—it lands in the hands of criminals or the state. Those 500 million firearms are a reminder that America still remembers who she is: a free, self-governing people. 25:30 We Dig Deep into a disturbing pattern of government fraud—this time in Washington State. After the daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota, reporters started digging and found dozens of so-called “home-based childcare centers” receiving tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars every month… despite the fact that no daycare was actually operating there. No kids. No business. Just checks rolling in. And when journalists did what journalists are supposed to do—knocked on doors, verified addresses, and reported the findings—the state’s response wasn’t outrage over fraud. It was outrage at the reporters. Instead of addressing where the money went, Washington officials scolded the press for exposing it, proving just how comfortable some politicians have become with unaccountable government and a compliant media. This isn’t just about daycare fraud—it’s about why a free press exists in the first place, and what happens when those in power would rather silence scrutiny than answer hard questions. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about a major moment on the world stage as Donald Trump meets with Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado. This wasn’t just a photo op—it was a declaration of what America is supposed to stand for. After decades of socialist destruction and authoritarian rule in Venezuela, a pro-freedom leader who was hunted, persecuted, and forced into exile is now sitting down with a U.S. president to talk about her country’s future. 35:30 We take a look at just how unhinged the far-left media has become—and then point out the moment they accidentally tell the truth. Using The American Prospect as the example, we run through some of their over-the-top headlines comparing Donald Trump to genocidal dictators and accusing him of “ethnic cleansing.” Pure Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display. But here’s the twist: buried in all that hysteria, even this far-left outlet is forced to admit something they swore could never be true—Trump’s tariffs are actually working. They acknowledge the trade deficit is down, inflation hasn’t spiked, real wages are up, and foreign exporters are eating much of the cost. After years of screaming that tariffs would wreck the economy, the facts are winning. When even a publication that despises Trump has to concede his policies delivered results, that’s not just ironic—it’s a bright spot and a quiet admission that Trump may have been right all along. 39:30 We dive into the messy headlines and the real-world diplomacy behind them. While there’s been chatter—especially online—about divides and even anti-Semitism swirling through certain corners of the right (with bots amplifying the noise), the facts tell a very different story. According to the New York Times, Israel and the U.S. remain closely aligned. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with a teacher couple who will make you say, "Whoa!"

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Maryka Biaggio, author of the book Gun Girl and the Tall Guy. Maryka Biaggio is a psychology professor turned novelist who specializes in historical fiction based on real people. She loves unearthing the stories of people overlooked by history and bringing them back to life—portraying their challenges and foibles and rekindling their emotional world. Previous novels include The Model Spy, The Point of Vanishing, Eden Waits, and Parlor Games. Her fiction has won several accolades, including Willamette Writers Award, Oregon Writers Colony Award, Historical Novel Society Review Editors' Choice, La Belle Lettre Award, an Upper Peninsula of Michigan Notable Books Award, and a Regional Arts & Council grant. She served on the Board of the Historical Novel Society North America Conference from 2015-2025. She has mentored other writers in AWP's Writer-to-Writer Mentorship Program since 2020. She's an avid opera fan and enjoys gardening, art films, and, of course, great fiction. She lives in Portland, Oregon.   In my book review, I stated Gun Girl and the Tall Guy is a historical fiction by Maryka Biaggio. It is based on a true story of a crime duo, Celia and Ed Cooney, in 1920s Brooklyn. And quite frankly, I loved everything about this book! The characters are vivid. I could see the Brooklyn from 100 years ago. And the story is amazing.   Celia grew up in a tough environment. She escapes her family and marries Ed, a young man just home from the war. He is kind, gentle, and loves her completely. But, like most young couples, they are broke. When she learns she is pregnant, she doesn't want to raise her child with nothing. So, they hatch a plan to rob a store - just to get enough to start them on their way. But the thrill and the fame, as well as an ever-increasing need for more things, keeps them in the game long after it makes sense.   Although it makes no sense, I was routing for Celia and Ed to evade the police! Maryka did a great job getting me to pull for the bad guy rather than the Brooklyn police, which is what started happening as the pair became more infamous.

I hope you all will enjoy this episode!

In this video Chris and Gerry explore "And When the Sky Was Opened," one of the most unsettling and cerebral episodes of The Twilight Zone. Following three astronauts who return from space only to slowly vanish from existence, this episode dives deep into themes of cosmic horror, identity, and humanity's insignificance. We break down the episode's plot, analyze Rod Serling's existential storytelling, discuss its Cold War and space-race anxieties, and examine why this haunting story remains one of the series' most disturbing entries. If you enjoy psychological sci-fi, classic television, and thought-provoking horror, this Twilight Zone classic demands a closer look.

Reese Gorman of Notus (and the On Notus podcast) explains the outlet's "teaching hospital" model for young journalists—and reports that Republicans are privately furious about being cut out of Venezuela, tariffs, and appropriations, even as almost none of them do anything to reclaim Congress's prerogatives beyond symbolic discharge petitions. Then, Dexter Filkins' new profile is our guide to Marco Rubio's ideological malleability as career strategy: swallow the zig, repeat the zag. Plus, why the left's most radical policy ideas can spread under the cover of benevolent framing and definitional ambiguity—and why that's a branding and governing problem for Democrats even if the far right remains more dangerous overall.

Winter 1685 and a Bavarian town is gripped by a predator that starts with livestock, then turns on children, until terror curdles into a darker belief: that the wolf is the returning soul of a hated official.

The Strange TRUE Case of the Vanishing FilmmakerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

Timing is everything. The versatile American journalist Kenneth Rosen was last on the show in early 2021 talking about troubled teens. Since then, Rosen has travelled extensively in the Arctic and has just published Polar War, a narrative about the chilling costs to both America and the world of the new Cold War in the Arctic. Timing is, indeed, everything, especially in the book business. But Rosen's travelogue of melting icecaps and vanishing indigenous cultures offers an alternative take on the media's current geo-strategic obsession with Greenland. "I worry most about the indigenous communities and their ways of life. This is the sustenance lifestyle that will be eradicated—something that we'll lose as a country and as humanity,” Rosen warns. “It's only a matter of time before the snow and ice melts forever." And when it's gone, it's gone. Then timing will be nothing. Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

What's actually happening to the church in America and why does it matter beyond Sunday morning? In this episode I'm joined by Ryan Burge, a social scientist who studies religion in the U.S. and brings long-term data, charts, and lived pastoral experience into a conversation often driven by fear or nostalgia. We discuss his book The Vanishing Church, the quiet decline of the moderate church, the rise of polarization inside Christianity, and how broader cultural tribalism has reshaped faith communities. We also explore the growth of the religious “nones,” why church closures are happening steadily but largely unnoticed, and what's lost when the church can no longer function as a space where people learn how to live together across difference.Ryan Burge is professor of practice at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis. Before that he was an associate professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University, and was also the graduate coordinator. He has authored over thirty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters alongside four books about religion and politics in the United States. He has written for the New York Times, POLITICO, and the Wall Street Journal. He has also appeared in an NBC Documentary, on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, as well as 60 Minutes which called him, “one of the country's leading data analysts on religion and politics.” He served as a pastor in the American Baptist Church for over twenty years, leading First Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, IL for 17.5 years until its closure in July 2024. He has been married to his wife Jacqueline for over seventeen years. They have two boys.Ryan's Book:The Vanishing ChurchRyan's Recommendation:DominionConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Danforth Center on Religion and Politics and author of The Vanishing Church. Burge walks us through what the data actually shows about religion in America—especially the quiet collapse of mainline Protestantism and the growing alignment between political identity and religious affiliation. We talk about why religious change is usually slow, why the 1990s marked a real inflection point, and how churches that once brought politically diverse Americans together are disappearing. The result, Burge argues, is not just a weaker church, but a weaker democracy—more isolated, more polarized, and less capable of holding disagreement without rupture.Book MentionedThe Vanishing Church: How the Hollowing Out of Moderate Congregations Is Hurting Democracy, Faith, and Us: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781587436697Guest BioRyan Burge is a sociologist of religion and political scientist who studies religious change, polarization, and the rise of the religiously unaffiliated.

We’re bringing you something special this week in place of our usual daily show. Every day, we are making one of the stories that listeners loved this year free for everyone. Today’s is from the Los Angeles Times on an art project that invited strangers to leave goodbye messages on pay phones, written by Todd Martens and narrated by Scott Turner Schofield for Apple News+.

Which state is the fraud capital of America? California or Minnesota? That’s the question today as two deep-blue states race to the bottom in a competition no one should want to win. We start in California, where the state auditor just dropped a devastating report, flagging eight major state agencies as “high risk” for waste, fraud, abuse, and outright mismanagement. Billions of taxpayer dollars, little accountability, and a system that seems engineered to fail while politicians pat themselves on the back and ask for more money. Then we turn to Minnesota, where investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposes another blue-state disaster—fraud schemes so blatant they look almost cartoonish. From taxpayer-funded programs turned into personal piggy banks to officials asleep at the wheel, Minnesota is making a serious run at stealing California’s crown. Two states. Same ideology. Same results.Exploding budgets. Vanishing money. No consequences. Today we break down how California and Minnesota are competing for the title of worst-run, most fraud-ridden state in America, and why this isn’t bad luck—it’s the predictable outcome of one-party rule and zero accountability.

FROM THE VAULT | In the late 20th century, a chilling pattern emerged in Ireland. Young women vanished without warning from a small geographic area stretching across the east of the country. leaving behind few clues, no bodies, and families desperate for answers. The region would come to be known as the Irish Vanishing Triangle.

Mark Thompson opens Hour 3 with the latest forecast alongside the National Weather Service, as meteorologist Joe Sirarad urges people to stay home and limit road travel if possible. They break down why it feels unusually warm right now, how subtropical moisture is fueling the storm, and why the unsettled weather is expected to linger through Friday before clearing into the weekend. Mark also reflects on the unique challenge of having a December 26th birthday and trying to gather people in the post-holiday lull.Mark then reinforces storm safety while shifting to holiday travel, as AAA predicts record-breaking travel numbers. He reacts to the sticker shock of average airfare approaching $900 per ticket, questioning why so many travelers are still hitting the road and skies despite the cost and conditions.The hour turns cultural as Mark examines how Christmas has changed on television — with fewer primetime specials and late-night programming looking very different — and why the absence of wall-to-wall holiday content feels so noticeable.Mark also weighs in on the viral incident involving DK Metcalf of the Pittsburgh Steelers, after video appeared to show a physical exchange with a fan during a game against the Detroit Lions. Mark debates where the line should be drawn between player accountability and fan responsibility.To close the show, and at a listener’s request, Mark dips into the archives for a classic Mark Thompson / Tim Conway Jr. segment involving body scans — a throwback moment to end the night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Regular readers of MinistryWatch know that I'm a bit of a Ryan Burge fan-boy. His weekly Substack column, “Graphs About Religion,” is required reading for me. I cite it often in my weekly “Signs and Wonders” column. That's why I'm kind of geeking out today, now that we finally have him on the podcast. The occasion for this get-together is his new book. It's called The Vanishing Church: How The Hollowing Out of Moderate Congregations is Hurting Democracy, Faith, and Us. I've got to admit that when I saw the title of this book, I thought to myself, “I'm not sure the hollowing out of moderate congregations is such a bad thing.” Jesus himself didn't have much use for lukewarm Christians. But I have to admit that, after reading Ryan's book, I have – well – moderated my position on moderate congregations. At least…moderately. As you'll hear, I push back on Ryan's thesis a bit, and as I think you will also hear, this was a lively and respectful conversation. Ryan Burge is a professor of practice at The Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University. He previously taught at Eastern Illinois University. He is the author of several previous books, including his 2023 book The Great Dechurching, which may have been my onramp to Ryan's work. In addition to writing his weekly Substack column, which I just mentioned, he is also a regular contributor to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Politico, and other publications. He has appeared on CBS News' flagship program 60 Minutes, and has been cited by countless other news programs, podcasts, and news articles. We had this conversation via zoom. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. If you are listening to this program during the week we dropped it, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Thanks for making MinistryWatch a part of your holiday festivities. Until next time, may God bless you.

Dr. West and her team are researching ways to help this beautiful species flourish right here in MN.     Presented by Kinetico (kineticoMN.com/), Star Bank (star.bank/), North Dakota Tourism (helloND.com/), Pleasureland RV (pleasurelandrv.com/), Ebels Voyageur Houseboats (ebels.com/), Sitka Gear (sitkagear.com/), & Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota (https://davmn.org/)

The Cowboys just played another game that looked competitive if you squinted… and Norm Hitzges is once again left just wondering what exactly the offseason plan is supposed to be — because whatever this is, it ain't it.After watching Dallas turn Sunday night into a live-action pinball machine (points flying everywhere, very little resistance), Norm breaks down how a team that can score nearly 30 a game somehow still looks miles away from relevance. From a defense that politely escorts opponents down the field, to penalties that actively sabotage momentum, to JJ McCarthy having the best night of his young career thanks to zero pressure — it's all on the table.Yes, there were early points. Yes, CeeDee Lamb was great. And yes, Brandon Aubrey missed two field goals, which should legally require a congressional hearing. But the larger question remains: how does a team this talented end up flirting with historically bad defense?Norm connects the dots, looks ahead to the Chargers (spoiler: they're better), and explains why this offseason must be about defense — unless the Cowboys are aiming to redefine “bend but don't break” as “collapse entirely.”Pull up a chair. Try not to scream. Norm's wondering so you don't have to.CHAPTERS00:00:00 – Just Wondering What the Cowboys' Offseason Plan Even Is00:00:15 – Fluent Financial: Because Retirement Planning Is Calmer Than Cowboys Football00:01:18 – Late Night Thoughts After Watching Pinball Football00:01:44 – Cowboys Playoff Math That Requires Science Fiction00:02:49 – A Fast Start, a Fake Field Goal, and Then… Nothing00:03:41 – Brandon Aubrey Misses Two (Yes, Two) Field Goals00:04:52 – A Defense That Simply Does Not Stop Anyone00:05:51 – The Numbers That Make This Defense Hard to Defend00:06:38 – Penalties: Creative Ways to Lose Field Position00:07:25 – The Kevonte Turpin Return That Never Got to Count00:08:55 – JJ McCarthy vs. Dak… and Only One Was Pressured00:10:01 – The Best Game of McCarthy's Career, Courtesy of Dallas00:11:03 – George Pickens Goes Missing (Again)00:11:46 – CeeDee Lamb Reminds Everyone Who WR1 Actually Is00:12:49 – Chargers Up Next: Reality Sets In00:13:42 – The Defensive Shopping List Gets Longer00:14:19 – Scoring Isn't the Problem.

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you. These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we're sharing another one of those shows — The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron.Back in 2018, we covered this case as Case 80: Beth Barnard. But this ten-part series goes far deeper. It's a long-form investigation, written and hosted by Vikki Petraitis — who co-authored The Phillip Island Murder, the book that first brought this story to public attention.The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron revisits the events of that night in 1986, when 23-year-old Beth Barnard was found brutally murdered, and 35-year-old Vivienne Cameron—who was the prime suspect in Beth's murder—disappeared without a trace.Across ten episodes, Vikki examines the women at the centre of the case, the evidence, the forensics, the witness accounts, and the many conflicting stories that have shaped public opinion for nearly forty years. It's a complex, haunting mystery that continues to raise more questions than it answers. We're releasing the first episode here on the Casefile feed. You can find the full ten-part series by searching for The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron, wherever you get your podcasts.I hope you enjoy the series. Hosted on Acast.

1/8 The Vanishing Museum of the Cultural Revolution — Tanya Branigan — Branigan's book Red Memory opens with the Pagoda Museum in Shantou, the sole institutional site documenting Cultural Revolution history and memory. Built by official Peng Qi'an to preserve this era, the museum unflinchingly documents the period's widespread violence, social chaos, and estimated two million deaths. Official Chinese historiography minimizes the CR as merely "setbacks" and historical aberrations. The museum site, subject to constant surveillance by state security operatives, was eventually closed to public access and systematically obscured from historical memory. 1966
