Podcasts about Vanishing

This episode tackles heartbreaking and explosive issues. First, a tragic boat crash on Lake Greenwood claims the lives of two young college sweethearts—highlighting the deadly consequences of drunk boating and the urgent need to speak up when friends act recklessly. Then, a passionate warning against escalating the Ukraine conflict by sending more weapons—arguing that economic pressure on Russia and China is a safer, smarter alternative to risking nuclear war. Finally, the show dives into the shocking disappearance of Epstein documents and rising public anger over the government's refusal to release critical evidence. Buckle up for a raw, unfiltered look at today's most controversial headlines.

These two explosive broadcasts delve into twin crises shaking American politics. First, the mysterious collapse of promises to expose Jeffrey Epstein's client list has fractured trust among Trump's most loyal supporters, fueling theories of betrayal, deep state deals, and deliberate cover-ups. Amid accusations that the administration is shielding powerful elites or has lost control of federal agencies, listeners express outrage and suspicion that will not easily fade. Meanwhile, violence erupts as left-wing extremists attack ICE facilities in Texas and Oregon, deploying tactical gear, Molotov cocktails, and ambush tactics to terrorize law enforcement. Together, these stories paint a grim portrait of a country where public faith in institutions has collapsed, political violence is escalating, and citizens are left wondering who—if anyone—can be trusted.

Marc returns from vacation with reflections, Ozzy Osbourne's final bow, and renewed outrage over the Epstein list—calling out broken promises from Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. Kim and Ethan weigh in on the lack of accountability before pivoting to St. Louis' wild July 4th chaos and Trump's quiet legislative win. In a raw Kim on a Whim, Kim shares how illegal immigration personally wrecked her home sale — twice — exposing loopholes abused by investment firms and shielded by fair housing laws. The team then tackles Missouri's gutting of abortion safety standards by Judge Jerry Zhang and the latest federal move to protect Planned Parenthood — a warning shot to conservatives ahead of 2026.

It's NAIDOC Week - marking 50 years of celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and achievements.

In the quiet town of Brakpan, a couple buys a rundown house with a colorful past, only to discover that the house has more stories to tell than they bargained for. From the moment they move in, footsteps echo through the wooden floors, objects disappear without explanation, and light fixtures seem determined to crash to the ground. The occasional sighting of a short, curly-haired woman adds an eerie layer to the haunting—one that refuses to be ignored. As the couple digs deeper, they uncover strange objects hidden in the backyard: a snake's skin sewn inside a pouch filled with herbs. Burning it brings a temporary peace, but small, unsettling events continue—a glass that cracks on its own, dogs howling in unison, and glowing lights appear in the backyard. Now, the couple must decide whether the spirit that haunts their home is simply seeking attention—or if something darker lurks beneath the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

With a tiebreaking vote from Vice President JD Vance, the Senate has adopted President Trump's giant domestic policy bill, which now heads back to the House for a final vote.The legislation is defined by the staggering amount of debt it will create: more than $3 trillion.Andrew Duehren, who covers tax policy, and Colby Smith, who covers the economy, talk about how Republicans have rewritten the rules to make that debt vanish, and why the world is less and less convinced that the United States can handle its debts.Guest:Andrew Duehren, who writes about tax policy for The New York Times from Washington.Colby Smith, a New York Times reporter covering the Federal Reserve and the U.S. economy.Background reading: The Senate bill would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt, the budget office says.The bill puts the nation on a new, more perilous fiscal path.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

We conclude the devilish and mysterious story surrounding the disappearance of a group of women involved in a small cult run by new age author Carlos Castaneda.  Not many are aware that one of the most successful New Age authors, Carlos Castaneda, lead a cult. The women that made up the inner circle of his cult were called “the witches” and five of them disappeared after Castaneda's death in 1998. In an all too familiar trope, Castaneda's mythology was built on lies, narcissism, hypocrisy, and abuse, yet the witches remain missing. Did they commit mass suicide, or are they still in control of the cult's workshops (Tensegrity) and publishing empire?

It's been an all-nighter for Senators in their so called vote-a-rama - voting on amendments to Trump's  not so "Big Beautiful" domestic policy bill. Republicans hope to pass the legislation by the end of the week, but there are some hold outs.  The pressure on GOP lawmakers raising issues with parts of the bill is intense.  Already, Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, announced his retirement and told his colleagues they are about to “make a mistake on health care"...and they will be "betraying a promise.”There have been some developments in the look into the 2024 election.  Nathan Taylor with Election Truth Alliance joins to explain.  Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnson will stop by to talk politics. A heartwarming story is told in a new book "The Teacher of Auschwitz." We welcome author Wendy Holden to share this inspirational account of a young man determined to give some peace to children going through the unimaginable. It's Tech Tuesday and Jefferson Graham will stop by to talk gadgets and more. The Mark Thompson Show 7/1/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

In these episodes, the hosts break down two critical Supreme Court decisions reshaping American politics. The first ruling sharply limits activist district judges' power to issue sweeping national injunctions against presidential policies—a move that curtails what they call “judicial dictatorship” and restores constitutional boundaries. The second case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, defends parental rights by striking down mandatory transgender and LGBTQ storytime in Maryland schools, sparking fierce dissent from Justice Sotomayor, who warned public education itself could be doomed. Meanwhile, the hosts highlight the sudden disappearance of nationwide riots they claim were fueled by NGO funding and Democrat-aligned billionaires—an effort now under federal investigation. They spotlight Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz,” a vast Everglades detention center created by Ron DeSantis to deport migrants en masse, and criticize Republican leaders in other states for failing to help Trump enforce immigration law. Together, these stories illustrate the escalating battle over the courts, the classroom, the streets, and the border—and why the hosts argue 2024 is a defining moment for America's future.

In this episode, the hosts question why the wave of riots that recently tore through cities like Los Angeles and Waukesha suddenly vanished. They explore claims that these uprisings were never truly organic, but rather funded by NGOs connected to Democrat operatives and foreign interests—funding that federal agencies are now aggressively tracing. The discussion also turns to Florida's creation of “Alligator Alcatraz,” a massive new detention facility in the Everglades designed to detain and deport illegal immigrants swiftly. The hosts criticize Republican leaders, especially North Carolina's Tom Tillis and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, accusing them of betraying Trump and the border security agenda. They contrast this with Ron DeSantis's proactive measures to empower state law enforcement and repurpose FEMA funds to house and remove migrants—arguing that strong, coordinated state action is essential to preserve America's sovereignty and culture.

Today, Les, Martha, and Jeffrey unpack the swirl of rumors that emerged from Beijing after Chinese President Xi Jinping disappeared from public view for several weeks in May. With whispers of internal dissent, missed Politburo meetings, and PLA shakeups, questions are mounting about the stability of Xi's leadership—and whether the Chinese Communist Party is entering a new phase of uncertainty.As China grapples with deepening economic troubles, demographic decline, and foreign policy stumbles, speculation over leadership succession and elite discontent is running high. Is this a genuine power shift in the making—or a loyalty test typical of CCP politics? Either way, the turbulence may mark a weaker and more unpredictable chapter for Beijing.Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://nypost.com/2025/06/28/opinion/is-chinese-pres-xi-jinping-on-his-way-out/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app https://www.wsj.com/opinion/where-was-xi-jinping-in-irans-hour-of-need-china-strikes-israel-us-5b04fdb3 Follow our experts on Twitter: @lestermunson @marthamillerdcLike what we're doing here?

She was the meandering metropolitan mystery, the famous will-o'-the-wisp of the continent, who fooled police and the public from Abilene to Akron. Who was this mysterious and alluring woman, and why did she love bread so much?  https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/fluffy-raffles-comes-to-town Thanks to the initiates who contributed their voices to this episode, including Dorothy Sibole (#7), Eric Leslie, and Jenn Thorson!

(You may find this hard to believe, not a lot of people are out there writing about this.) So let me recommend Rebeca Rego Barry's The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells, where she does some literary detective work to track down this vanished author, and Bill Peschel's Sherlock Holmes: Great War Parodies and Pastiches, an anthology of Sherlockian oddities.

We hear from Tinie Tempah on why UK nightlife also means protecting collective joy, community and creativity. We also speak with activist and writer Kelechi Okafor on reclaiming space and spirit in new book, Awakened.

Right then, strap in Trawlers and let's raise a lukewarm pint of Champagne to the anniversary of the Brexit referendum - because nothing says “taking back control” like spiralling food prices and passport queues longer than a Glastonbury toilet line. Then it's over to Labour HQ, where the party that once marched for peace now wants to slap a terrorist label on Palestine Action. Because apparently, protesting arms deals is just not cricket.Meanwhile, the welfare bill rebellion gave us a rare glimpse of backbench backbone - blink and you might've missed it. And finally, Reform UK's Robin Hood policy has landed... promising to rob from the rich and give to, well, the rich. Expect right-wing pundits and their sheep to gobble up the policy as they read the headlines, but not much else. Then a quick scoot over to New York where a left-wing candidate offered left-wing policies to left-wing voters…and actually won. Meanwhile, in Labour HQ, there's probably a task force being assembled to investigate this dangerous correlation between principled politics and electoral success. Expect a report by 2031, just in time to miss the point again.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

When Maya Millete vanished from her home in 2021, suspicion quickly turned inward. Behind the smiling family photos was a volatile marriage, a husband obsessed with control, and cryptic messages about hexes and spells.

In this two-part exposé from The Tara Show, Tara dissects two explosive crises gripping America. First, she reveals the staggering scope of child trafficking enabled by federal failures—300,000 migrant children lost, many trafficked or dead, after DNA testing was deliberately suspended under the Biden administration. Whistleblowers, damning statistics, and RFK Jr.'s testimony expose the horrifying negligence and political motives behind the silence. Then, Tara pivots to the collapse of law and order in America's cities, where radical officials like LA's Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez openly urge gangs to battle ICE. She connects this urban insurrectionism to a broader surge in mental illness among liberals, the Democrat Party's embrace of rage-fueled socialism, and New York City's shocking primary win for a self-proclaimed socialist. With chilling parallels to Marxist guerrilla doctrine and cartel-run territories, Tara warns: these are no longer just political trends—they're signs of a nation fracturing from within.

This episode dives into the raw truth about the missing in America. We'll call out the contradictions, ask the hard questions, and back it up with real facts and cases.

Not many are aware that one of the most successful “new age” authors, Carlos Castaneda, lead a cult. The women that made up the inner circle of his cult were called “the witches” and five of them disappeared soon after Castaneda's death in 1998. In an all too familiar trope, Castaneda's mythology was built on lies, narcissism, hypocrisy, and abuse, yet the witches remain missing. Did they commit mass suicide, or are they in control of the cult's workshops (Tensegrity) and publishing empire.  Theme Music by Matt Glass: https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Support the Show! astudyofstrange.substack.com/ Website: www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com! ©2025 Convergent Content, LLC LINKS https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8088.Carlos_Castaneda https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000APXVFG https://www.altaonline.com/dispatches/a60923618/carlos-castaneda-cult-geoffrey-gray/ https://deleuze.cla.purdue.edu/people/carlos-castaneda/ https://www.castaneda.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Sorcerers-Apprentice-Life-Carlos-Castaneda/dp/1583942068/ref=asc_df_1583942068?mcid=0d8519cc17a73ea982de07dd78440a03&hvocijid=5328905483217033375-1583942068-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5328905483217033375&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031201&hvtargid=pla-2281435177378&psc=1

#WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF JUNE 22, 2025 = At the isolated crossing of Rideau Ferry in the 1800s, travelers who arrived after dark at Mr. Oliver's house were promised safe passage come morning — but many were never seen alive again, and when his buildings were finally torn down decades later, the horrifying truth of what happened to those missing souls was supposedly revealed beneath the floorboards.==========HOUR ONE: A 178-year-old mystery comes to the surface in a Philadelphia suburb. (Grandfather's Ghost Story Leads to Mass Grave) *** Recently a wrecking crew began tearing down and old building in Rhode Island. But the big burly men on the crew got so frightened they refused to continue the work. Does reconstruction of a home or building anger the souls who once lived there? (Does Remodeling Your Home Disturb The Spirits Who Died There?) *** The way life has grown on our planet requires that all living things feed off each other and must kill others in order to survive.  That's the way of the world if you want to live for any more than a few days. But some people are now claiming they can live without food at all… indefinitely. (Life Without Food) *** Three men were in a shed selling gardening supplies when some strange powder suddenly hit the ceiling. Before they had time to react, a small jug on a shelf abruptly flew across the room. One man picked up the jug and placed it a covered box. Instantly, the jug was...somehow...back on the floor. And that was just the beginning of the strange haunting of a community's garden shed. (The Poltergeist In The Allotment Shed) *** In the movie Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a double-agent who is mind-controlled by scary remnants of the USSR secret service. And in real life, the 1940s bombshell Candy Jones was apparently brainwashed with drugs and used as a CIA covert operative.  (The Supermodel Who Was Brainwashed Into Becoming a Spy) *** No one knows exactly when she was born. Some think, maybe, she was a gypsy. Others say she was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. The life of Elizabeth Barnes is a mysterious one, filled with many loves, losses, and prognostications. (The Witch of Plum Hollow) *** Some travelers, arriving late at night to board Oliver's Ferry the next day, stayed at Oliver's house. But they were never seen making the ferry crossing the next morning. Is it possible that the rumors are true – that they never left the house alive? (The Frights of Oliver's Ferry)==========HOUR TWO: An eerie tombstone stands watch over one of Portland Oregon's oldest cemeteries. And the story behind that tombstone is a strange one. (The Guardians of Lone Fir Cemetery) *** Don't take a gift from Little Gracie's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (The Ghost of Gracie Watson) *** When it came to her daughter's Elsa doll, one mom was eager and ready to “Let It Go”. But the doll supernaturally refused to be let go! (Haunted Elsa Doll) *** An ancient stone cross is said by locals to be cursed, and the curse infects anyone who dares to disrespect it. (Curse of the Saxon Stone Cross) *** Christopher Slaughterford was seemingly a completely ordinary young Englishman – but he has earned an unenviable place in the legal books. (T
he Trials of Christopher Slaughterford) *** Two authors reported a very strange encounter with a mysterious entity they believed was not of this world. What did they see and why were they under the impression this being was not of this world? (An Author's Encounter With A Not-Of-This-World Entity)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: For Allen Taylor, January 15, 1919 was just another day on his farm near Prescott, Iowa. That is, until his 15-year-old neighbor Irene Hoskins came stumbling down the lane with a gash in the side of her head.  (The Hoskins Family Murders) *** How did someone get the job of an executioner in medieval times? We'll find out! (To Become An Executioner) ==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“Schoolhouse Demon Attack” from Paranormality Magazine“Grandfather's Ghost Story Leads to Mass Grave” by Meghan Rafferty for CNN: https://tinyurl.com/ravfceh“Does Remodeling Your Home Disturb The Spirits Who Died There?” by Kelly Roncace for NJ.com: https://tinyurl.com/sn7vpsg“Life Without Food” by Michael Grosso for Consciousness Abound: https://tinyurl.com/r38yxh6“The Poltergeist In The Allotment Shed” from Strange Company: https://tinyurl.com/vzlgcj9“The Supermodel Who Was Brainwashed Into Becoming a Spy” by Annalee Newitz for Gizmodo: https://tinyurl.com/sgh73da“The Witch of Plum Hollow” by James Morgan for North Country Public Radio: https://tinyurl.com/u3x3sxu“The Frights of Oliver's Ferry” by Ken Watson for Rideau-Info: https://tinyurl.com/vj96awj==========(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 51: Former Immunity/Trail of Bits researcher Hamid Kashfi joins the buddies for a fast-moving tour of cyber activities in the Israel-Iran war. The crew unpacks who 'Predatory Sparrow' is, why Sepah Bank and the Nobitex crypto exchange were hit, and what a $90 million cryptocurrency burn really means. Plus, radar-blinding cyberattacks that paved the way for Israel's air raid, the human cost of sudden ATM outages and unpaid salaries, and the puzzling “Code Breakers” data leak that preceded it all. Hamid shares on-the-ground context, the buddies debate whether cyber operations can sway a shooting war, and everyone tries to gauge Iran's true offensive muscle under sanctions. Cast: Hamid Kashfi (https://twitter.com/hkashfi), Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade (https://twitter.com/juanandres_gs), Ryan Naraine (https://twitter.com/ryanaraine) and Costin Raiu (https://twitter.com/craiu).

Sean “Diddy” Combs now faces heightened jeopardy in his federal criminal trial after prosecutors introduced evidence that he possessed an AR‑15-style firearm with an obliterated serial number. Under federal law, merely possessing a firearm with a defaced serial qualifies as a serious gun offense, and is often seen as nearly indisputable, since the prosecution must only show that the weapon exists and the serial was removed.   This piece of evidence not only adds a standalone weapons charge but also bolsters the government's RICO (racketeering) case, as it ties directly to allegations that Combs' so-called “enterprise” used threats, weapons, and violence (including firearms) to facilitate sex trafficking and intimidate witnesses.Moreover, introducing this gun serves to strengthen the prosecution's narrative that Combs ran a criminal enterprise. The indictment alleges that he wielded multiple weapons with obliterated serial numbers and orchestrated “freak‑offs”—sex trafficking events fueled by coercion, drugs, and violence, sometimes under armed threats.   The gun evidence directly supports those claims, potentially making it easier for the jury to see a pattern of illegal behavior rather than isolated incidents. In short, this firearm not only risks an additional conviction but dramatically increases Diddy's legal exposure by reinforcing the racketeering, coercion, and intimidation elements of the government's case—all of which carry significant sentencing consequences if he's found guilty.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Over a span of 39 years, at least 14 aliases, 17 arrests, and nearly a dozen imprisonments, Robert Spears had lived a con artists' life of unparalleled adventure and intrigue. His crimes culminated in an ultimate act of evil, when he downed a crowded aircraft to fake his own death. This is a tale of one man who became obsessed with this story and the dichotomy of the man at the center of it.  Get Jerry Jamison's new true crime book Vanishing Act: A Crashed Airliner, Faked Death, and Backroom Abortions everywhere books are sold.

The great Christian scholar of the biblical prophets died on June 5, 2025. Yet, in the lineage of the prophets who called humanity to face its hardest realities, this profound, warm, and timeless conversation is a stunning offering straight into our present. “The amazing contemporaneity of this material," Walter Brueggemann says to Krista in this conversation from 2011, “and we relive by relistening, is that the issues are the same: the world we have trusted in is vanishing before our eyes and the world that is coming at us feels like a threat to us and we can't quite see the shape of it." He embodied as much as taught a prophetic way of fearless truth telling, fierce hope, and disarming language that can break through "human hearts and human hurt." What is the calling of the Christian in a time like this, and what is the role of the preacher?  We are lifting this episode out of the archive to mark this moment. Krista felt particularly called to point to this unedited version of their conversation, which was previously edited to meet time constraints, as the full discussion has such timely resonance. You can also watch the video of this conversation between Krista and Walter Brueggemann on our YouTube page.Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.Find the shorter, edited and produced version of this show  — and all of Krista's conversations across the years — on our website at onbeing.org/series/podcast.BioWalter Brueggemann was the William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary in Georgia. He died on June 5, 2025. He was the author of many books including The Prophetic Imagination, The Spirituality of the Psalms, The Collected Sermons of Walter Brueggemann, and, written in his 90s, Real World Faith.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished without a trace. 239 people were on board — and 38 minutes after takeoff, the plane simply disappeared. No distress call. No radar contact. Nothing. In this two-part special, we dive deep into the haunting mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a true ghost flight that challenges logic, stirs global grief, and raises chilling questions about what really happened in the skies on March 8, 2014. In Part One, we break down the timeline: a routine red-eye flight, an eerie last transmission, and seven hours of silent flight into one of the most remote parts of the Indian Ocean. We explore theories of government secrecy, flight simulation clues, haunting last phone calls that kept ringing days after the crash, and the agonizing search for answers. With no wreckage, no black box, and only scattered satellite pings, MH370 became more than a missing flight — it became a modern ghost story.
