Podcasts about Violence

Mea Culpa welcomes back, the groundbreaking, congressional reporter, Hugo Lowell. Lowell reports on Washington Politics for the Guardian. And has broken a number of high-profile stories about the January 6th committee's investigation, including several scoops pertaining to Mark Meadows, the “war room” at the Willard Hotel and insider facts such as; Trump ordering his advisors NOT to comply with January 6 committee subpoenas. Lowell regularly appears as a political analyst on MSNBC. And is often a guest on Morning Joe, The Beat with Ari Melber, Velshi and All In with Chris Hayes. His reporting has been cited in the Washington Post, Bloomberg and the New York Times. Michael and Hugo dig deep into the DOJ, Judge Cannon, Tish James and what's coming for the Mango Mussolini. 

Violence and faith are rarely discussed in the same sentence… yet the Bible contains warriors who were honored by God. We start by looking at the Hebrew word often translated as “murder.” Does the commandment actually forbid all killing, or is the meaning more specific than most people realize? Understanding that distinction changes how we view justice, protection, and the defense of the innocent.That question leads directly into the story of Sam Childers. Once a violent outlaw biker, Childers experienced a radical transformation that took him to the war zones of East Africa, where children were being kidnapped and forced into militias. Instead of simply observing the crisis, he began rescuing them, sometimes in the middle of active conflict with warlords connected to figures like Joseph Kony. We previously recorded an interview with Sam, and tonight we're sharing that conversation with the full audience. His story raises uncomfortable questions about faith, violence, and what it really means to defend the vulnerable when evil is operating in the open.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder is joined by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Cummings, who has spent his career at the world's largest forensic state hospital, and child psychiatrist Dr. Blaire Heath, to examine how fixed false beliefs, or delusions, can lead to aggression and violence. Each guest brings their expertise to discuss the major delusion types most associated with harm in forensic settings, including persecutory, Capgras (impostor syndrome involving loved ones), Cotard's ("I am dead"), erotomanic, jealous (Othello syndrome), somatic, and referential delusions.  The episode covers practical clinical tools, including the Simple Delusional Syndrome Scale and Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale, the role of clozapine in reducing violence risk, and the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to create psychological "escape routes" by treating delusions as testable hypotheses. Modern risks are also addressed, including how AI chatbots and algorithms can reinforce and amplify delusional thinking and contribute to emerging cases of AI-related psychosis.  By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.5 Psychiatry CME Credits.

Animals, Justice, and the Politics of Violence: Shared Struggles in Turkey (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025) by Dr. Sezai Ozan Zeybek explores the intricate relationship between humans and animals in the context of modern Turkish history. From drafted animals in war, to urban stray dogs and the role of cattle in the Kurdish conflict, the cases developed in this book show how animal lives are deeply entangled with human affairs, including complex social organisations such as families, states and nations. In doing so, the book exposes power dynamics, exploitative practices, and the discursive regimes that underpin development, nationalism, and urban growth. This book offers a timely exploration of human-animal relations, critically revising a number of concepts such as human rights, productivity, health and efficiency from a multispecies perspective. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On this day, 9 March 2020, tens of thousands of women across Mexico went on strike in protest at gender-based violence which kills thousands of women each year in the country.Transport, banking, education and retail were amongst the industries affected by women either staying at home or taking to the streets, under the slogan "Un Día Sin Nosotras" ("A Day without Us").One worker, Isaura Miranda, a biologist, told the New York Times why she took part: “I just realised I had to do something… I can't carry on with this feeling of rage and impotence over so many deaths that are cruel, without dignity… Also, I don't want my daughter to go out one day and never come back again."Support for the action was so widespread that many large corporations and government departments were pressured into agreeing not to discipline women who took part in the action.Mexico's left-wing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, blamed "past neoliberal policies" for endemic violence against women, 10 of whom are murdered each day, and accused right-wing opponents of helping organise the strike.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10925/mexico-women's-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Johnny sits down with Tim Griesheimer to hear one of the wildest crime stories to ever come out of Texas. What started as a teenager running burglaries quickly turned into a seven-year journey through some of the toughest prisons in the state. Along the way, Tim navigated race politics, brutal jail fights, and the chaos of prison life — eventually becoming a shot caller for the 59 Bounty Hunter Bloods despite being a white inmate. In this episode, Tim breaks down how he got caught up in burglaries as a teenager, what really happens inside Texas county jails, and the brutal moment he had to stand up for himself his first night locked up. From small-town crime to prison survival, his story shows how quickly a reckless life can spiral — and the crazy situations that come with it. This is a raw, unfiltered look at prison politics, street crime, and the reality of doing time in Texas. In this episode: -Growing up around crime and getting pulled into burglaries as a teenager -The arrest that led to seven years in the Texas prison system -Breaking into houses to steal guns in rural Texas -Getting betrayed by someone in his own circle -His first night in county jail and the brutal fight that followed -How race politics and gangs operate inside prison -Becoming affiliated with the 59 Bounty Hunter Bloods Go Support Tim!

The hardest part isn't throwing a punch—it's stopping yourself when your pride is screaming go. We dig into how boys learn to treat violence as a language and why that same reflex shows up decades later at the bar, in a crowd, or in the kitchen with our kids. The thread running through the wild stories and quiet confessions is powerlessness: that small, cornered feeling that makes a quick hit feel like control.We get real about the difference between anger and the emotions beneath it—shame, disrespect, belittlement—and how naming them changes the play. From being lied to over a “we don't have peanut butter” protein shake to getting pushed off a spot while selling merch, we map triggers to better choices. Then we rewire the deep belief most men carry—don't let anyone play with you—without tossing out the strength it represents. It's not about pretending threats don't exist; it's about choosing the fights that protect your future.You'll hear a practical framework for leaders, not just protectors. We break down when force is justified (a real, present threat in your space) and when disengaging keeps you and your partner out of danger. We talk situational awareness, de-escalation, and the quiet power move of getting your people home. We also zoom into parenting: why yelling and spankings create short-term compliance but long-term damage, and how clear systems and consistent consequences teach without harm. Kids learn best when rules are known beforehand and enforced the same way every time.This conversation is raw, honest, and focused on tools you can use tonight—naming emotions, rehearsing exits, separating ego from safety, and building home systems that work. If you've ever replayed a moment thinking I should've handled that better, this one's for you.

Steve and Jose revisit Garth Ennis' Crossed, one of the most controversial horror comics ever published. Is it a brutal survival story about the collapse of humanity, or simply shock value taken to the extreme? In this episode, they break down the original run (issues 0–9), explore the themes behind the violence, and debate whether Crossed adds anything new to the zombie apocalypse genre.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

Power can be silent—or destructive. What happens when inaction allows injustice to continue? In this episode of the Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast, Revs. Trudy Robinson and Hannah explore the Passion story through the lens of progressive Christian theology, reflecting on Matthew 27:11–24 and the theme “The Violence of Neutrality.” Join them for a thoughtful Lenten conversation about how avoidance, silence, and shifting responsibility can perpetuate injustice—and how the Passion story challenges us to recognize the power we hold in our own lives. From Pontius Pilate to Caiaphas, they explore how those in positions of authority collude, manipulate crowds, and deflect responsibility—and how Jesus moves toward the cross with a radically different kind of power: truth, grace, and forgiveness. In this episode, you’ll hear discussions about: The different voices of power present in the Passion story • How easily we can become complicit in unjust systems • The agency we still hold—even when we feel powerless • Matthew’s theological perspective on Jesus’ crucifixion and alternate interpretations—including whether Jesus truly had to die on the cross • The unique power Jesus modeled and shared freely with others Continue the conversation by reflecting with someone you trust or join the Perspectives community online via Patreon or in person at the weekly Convergence Discussion Group. Reflection questions for Lent: How do you use your power? What perspective prohibits your ability to use your power? What would God’s perspective suggest you do with your power? Limited on time? Jump ahead to these pivotal moments.

Episode Notes This week on Dizi Friends, Maha and Eda explore a noticeable shift in Turkish television: Why do so many new series revolve around crime, violence, and mafia-style narratives? We discuss several recent projects, including: Aynı Yağmur Altında – A show that sparked debate due to a controversial early scene and its reliance on shock-driven storytelling. Sevdiğim Sensin – A series with emotional potential about a young woman rebuilding her life in Istanbul, yet framed within darker narrative elements. A.B.İ. – An age-gap romance entering an already crowded dramatic landscape. Yeraltı – Another love story built around a mafia-centered world. Rüya Gibi – A promising show featuring a refreshingly different protagonist (a hairdresser), which concluded at episode 13 as darker themes took over. We also briefly mention Eşref Rüya ** and discuss broader concerns about how excessive violence might influence younger viewers. This episode is not about criticizing individual creators. It's about recognizing a pattern. We ask: Why has “crime” in Turkish TV become almost synonymous with “mafia”? Is shock value replacing layered storytelling? Are audiences growing tired of violence-heavy narratives? And what does this trend say about the current state of the industry? Crime stories can be powerful. But does every story need a mafia backdrop? Join the conversation and tell us: Are you experiencing mafia fatigue too? Find out more at https://dizi-friends-podcast.pinecast.co

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Brit Griffin about her novel, The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien (Latitude 46, 2025). A gothic tale from deep within the boreal forest… Violence and greed have intruded into a wild and remote land. It's 1907, and silver fever has drawn thousands of men into a fledgling mining camp in the heart of the wilderness. Modesto O'Brien, fortune-teller and detective, is there too - but he isn't looking for riches. He's seeking revenge. O'Brien soon finds himself entangled with the mysterious Nail sisters, Lucy and Lily. On the run from their past and headed for trouble, Lily turns to O'Brien when Lucy goes missing. But what should have been a straightforward case of kidnapping pulls O'Brien into a world of ancient myths, magic, and male violence. As he searches for Lucy, O'Brien fears that dark forces are emerging from the ravaged landscape. Mesmerized by a nightmarish creature stalking the wilderness, and haunted by his past, O'Brien struggles to maintain his grip on reality as he faces hard choices about loyalty, sacrifice, and revenge. Brit Griffin is the author of the climate-fiction Wintermen trilogy (Latitude 46) and has written essays, musings, and articles for various publications. Griffin spent many years as a researcher for the Timiskaming First Nation, an Algonquin community in northern Quebec. She lives in Cobalt, northern Ontario, where she is the mother of three grown daughters. These days, she divides her time between writing and caring for her unruly yard.

A warning - the following story contains elements that may distress some people. In 2025, New South Wales alone recorded the highest number of women murdered in domestic violence situations. Advocates say it's not a one-off situation - and that women's safety remains an ongoing concern.

Trump launched a war with Iran because Israel wanted him to. Republicans won't even call it a war. Trump keeps calling it a war. An Iranian girls' elementary school was massacred during the opening U.S. strike. Oil prices are spiking. And for the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis. This is the dumbest war in US history.Meanwhile: The House Oversight Committee just subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi over the disappearing Epstein files. Kristi Noem gets fired from Homeland Security for the most Trumpian reason imaginable. And the chaos continues.**THE IRAN WAR**The United States attacked Iran not because Iran posed a threat to America, but because Israel wanted us to. Secretary of State Marco Rubio essentially admitted this, framing the strikes as necessary to prevent Israel from attacking Iran alone claiming the U.S. would be hit in retaliation. We launched military strikes on a sovereign nation because we agree with Israel's shortsighted and brutal logic. Republicans are performing gymnastics to avoid calling this a "war" — except Trump, who keeps saying it out loud, forcing GOP leadership to walk it back.The consequences: An Iranian elementary school was hit in what medics call a "double-tap strike" — first strike hits the building, second strike targets first responders. Young girls were killed. Oil prices are spiking, and public opinion has shifted: for the first time ever, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis.**EPSTEIN FILES SUBPOENA**House Oversight, led by Nancy Mace, subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding answers about disappearing Epstein files. FBI interviews with Trump accusers? Scrubbed. Bill Clinton and Hillary's closed-door testimonies? Suddenly made public. The DOJ is unraveling at break neck speed to cover for Donald Trump. Will Bondi comply or defy Congress?**KRISTI NOEM GETTING FIRED**Kristi Noem was fired as Homeland Security Secretary — not for incompetence, but because Trump perceived disloyalty. She shot her dog to prove toughness. She debased herself publicly. Still not loyal enough. With Trump, it's always about ego.**ALSO THIS WEEK:**Texas primaries showed a new voter suppression tactic — polling place closures in Democratic areas, weaponized ID requirements, hours-long lines.A Montana GOP senator broke a Marine veteran's hand while he was protesting during a Senate hearing.DOJ shelved the Biden autopen probe when politically convenient because they completely lacked any evidence, same as it ever was.Trump admin debating letting Tencent keep gaming stakes — the same "national security" argument used for TikTok. A truly terrible precedent if allowed to stand.Steve Daines manipulated filing deadlines in Montana to make it harder for Democratic challengers.From the dumbest war in US history to Epstein cover-ups to cabinet chaos to voter suppression — the dysfunction is accelerating.We break it all down.#Iran #Trump #KristinoemLook Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

Mea Culpa welcomes the former Oath Keeper who testified before the January 6th Committee, Jason Van Tatenhove. A one-time tattoo shop owner, Van Tatenhove studied fine art in college and as a journalist, in 2014, he embedded with the Oath Keepers while following the story of Cliven Bundy and the rancher's standoff with law enforcement.  Later, Jason went on to become the Oath Keepers National Media Director. But after being silenced by the Oath Keepers leader, Stewart Rhodes, for his support of same-sex marriage, Van Tatenhove distanced himself from the group. He did not attend or support the January 6th Insurrection, but he did the country a great service when he testified to the committee. Helping us all understand more about the inner-workings of extremist para-military groups like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. Michael and Jason talk about what Jason believes is coming for democracy and what it's like to work for egomaniacs.

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.

In January 1776, Thomas Paine told the American colonies to break free from their king. But what was supposed to come next? 250 years later, that question still doesn't have a good answer. To mark the anniversary of *Common Sense*, we traveled to Lewes, England, the town where Paine lived before he ever set foot in America, and recorded our first-ever LIVE episode inside Bull House, the building where Paine honed his ideas about citizens and their government. Joseph Adelman chairs a panel with scholars Leanne O'Boyle, Nicole Mahoney, and Jeanne Sheehan Zaino as they dig into the legacy of *Common Sense*: democracy's "day two problem," the women Paine wrote out of his own story, why "the law is king" keeps showing up on protest signs, and what a 15th-century building in a small English town can teach us about where democratic ideas actually take root. Recorded live in partnership with the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona University.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/435 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00 Introduction00:01:06 What Happened After the Revolution?00:02:59 Live from the Bull House in Lewes, England00:04:49 A Template for Common Sense and Civic Life00:07:12 Thomas Paine's Legacy in Lewes, England00:10:24 Thomas Paine's Legacy in New Rochelle, New York00:16:04 Democracy's "Day Two Problem"00:22:50 Local Civic Engagement in Lewes00:27:46 Women and Common Sense00:34:54 Paine's Family Life in Lewes00:35:31 Reconstituting Government00:42:44 Violence and Change00:49:31 "No Kings" Protest and 'The Law is King'00:56:29 Thomas Paine's Legacy00:58:10 Audience Q&A01:18:20 Episode Wrap-UpRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

From October 8, 2016: Stephanie Leutert, the Mexico Security Initiative Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin and the author of Lawfare's "Beyond the Border" series, joined Benjamin Wittes on this week's podcast to talk about the epidemic of violence plaguing Mexico and Central America. Despite the brutality, extremity, and remarkable scale of the violence going on immediately to our south, those of us in the United States who work and think on national security issues rarely consider it to be relevant to national security. Why is that? How bad is the violence in these countries? What's causing the crisis, and the waves of migration it generates, in the first place? And what, if anything, can be done to stop it?To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
