The Rise of Extremist Politics in the US and UK. Joseph Sternberg analyzes the rise of extreme political figures like New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, warning conservatives that opponents' political mistakes do not guarantee their success, citing the UK's Jeremy Corbyn as a parallel. He notes that frustrated voters seek "sledgehammers" on both the left and right. In the UK, he details how Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Labour government are suffering plummeting approval due to economic mismanagement, forcing tax hikes and breaking promises, benefiting Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. 1940 BLITZ

Today's Headlines: Democrats had a massive Election Day sweep nationwide — flipping or holding major seats at every level. At the Supreme Court, justices are hearing Trump's unprecedented tariff case — deciding whether he can impose tariffs on his own under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that the administration has “lots of other options” if they lose… but, of course, they won't. Meanwhile, Trump announced there will be no SNAP payments until the government reopens, despite multiple court orders requiring partial payouts. The shutdown is dragging on, and the Transportation Secretary warned that the FAA may have to shut down airspace next week due to thousands of unpaid, overworked air traffic controllers. In global security news, European officials say Russia tried to smuggle explosives onto cargo planes in Germany and the UK this summer — part of a wider sabotage campaign targeting Western aviation. Four people have been arrested so far. Stateside, a UPS plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, killing three and injuring at least 11. The FBI also arrested two people in connection with an intentional explosion at a Harvard University medical building over the weekend. And finally, former Vice President Dick Cheney — architect of the Iraq War and self-proclaimed “defender of democracy,” depending on who you ask — died yesterday at 84.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 166 - Reflections: On Cinematography - written by Roger Deakins In this special "Turning the Tables" episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Roberto Schaefer (Season 1, Episode 162) returns to lead us in a conversation about Roger's new memoir, Reflections: On Cinematography. In the book, Roger tells the story of his life from his childhood in rural, seaside England to the present day, and he reveals the reasoning behind many of the creative and practical decisions of numerous projects, from his early documentary work and music videos to films such as 1984, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, and 1917. In our conversation with Roberto, he asks why Roger decided to write it in the first place, and Roger shares what his ultimate intent was when putting it together. Reflections also features unseen photographs, sketches, and diagrams from Roger's personal archive, and he reflects on the process of picking and choosing which memories and films to write about. This episode will offer a small sample of what to expect in the full book, so if you like what you hear, you can place a pre-order after listening.

Elon Musk reposted our Grooming Gangs Coverup clip which has gained over 2.6 million views since last week. So many people have learned the truth about the biggest crime in UK history that led to the biggest coverup.It is the film you have to watch. It tells the truth about the Muslim ‘'Grooming Gangs” that are basically rape gangs who targetted white British girls for abuse. The film is a verbatim re-enactment of the judge's sentencing remarks in one of the few criminal trials that arose from the abuse. It is shocking to hear what happened to these girls and how the authorities refused to investigate because they were afraid of being called racist. It was identity politics at its worst and thousands of girls paid the price.In today's podcast Phelim talks with the brilliant British actor, Dominic Frisby, who played the judge in the film and who posted the clip which Elon Musk saw and reposted. Watch the show where they unpack just how long the grooming gangs have plagued the UK (and Europe) and why it was covered up for so long. You can hear the clip during the podcast but be warned it is very, very graphic.You can see the whole film through the link below.Viewer discretion is definitely advised. Bill Gates has suddenly pivoted on global warming after years of climate alarmism and taking trillions of dollars out of our pockets to save the planet. The sky is no longer falling, because he said so, infuriating the rest of us who've been saying this for years. Listen to the show where Phelim asks the important question; why has Gates come to his senses now? Is it self-interest or enlightenment?Our friend the  businesswoman, philanthropist, and great American Karen Wright has died. We highlight her  life and legacy in the podcast. Listen to the show to hear the story of a woman who raised a family, ran a multi-national business and gave back more than she received.  And she truly loved her country. Also in the podcast you will also get to hear Karen  speak, in a speech that everyone  needs to hear. Please go to unreportedstorysociety.com and give what you can so that we can keep bringing the weekly scoop, movies, plays and other special projects to you, all donations are tax deductible.Also subscribe to our Substack Stories.io where you can get more news beyond the weekly scoop.Also, our OCTOBER 7 play was performed in Bowdoin, Maine, but we don't know where it's going next.

Abi Murray invites us to a cup of coffee and a nice conversation care of the Chatty Cafe Scheme. This all began on a typical wet and windy UK day when Abi's sister Alex Hoskyn was in a supermarket café with her four month old son, who wasn't great company, and she herself was feeling a bit tired and a bit fed up. Alex looked around the cafe and saw others who looked just as down as she felt herself and she started to think about the positive impact we can have on one other simply by sitting together and communicating. She knew from her own experience that when you are feeling lonely, a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day. It was in that very moment her ‘Chatter & Natter' table idea began (in her head where all dreams do) and it soon became reality. Now in 900 cafes throughout the UK and an additional 200 in Australia, the Chatty Cafe Scheme allows anyone feeling lonely to take a seat and connect. Abi shares the journey she and Alex have been on and the importance of creating community. We also speak with volunteer John Ford about his experience with this organization and what it's meant to him to connect with others as someone who moved to the UK from another country himself.

In this special episode of The Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Lalana Songra, medical advisor at Examine Lab, to talk about the urgent need for better understanding and testing around male fertility, particularly sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF).As someone whose own fertility journey involved a male factor diagnosis, this is a topic close to my heart. And it's still one that doesn't get enough attention.We explore why male fertility plays such a vital role in conception, pregnancy loss, and future child health, and how overlooked it still is in both diagnosis and support.What we discuss in this episode:What sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) actually is and how it's different from a standard semen analysisThe difference between single-strand vs double-strand sperm DNA damage and how they impact fertilityHow new research links high SDF levels to recurrent pregnancy loss, even when semen analysis appears normalWhy it's problematic that men are only looked at after multiple pregnancy lossesThe lifestyle and health factors that impact sperm quality, and how quickly men can improve itWhat the sperm testing process looks like and where to access itThe importance of including men in the conversation around fertility and pregnancy lossHow better male testing can lead to more accurate, personalised treatment decisions (like ICSI vs IVF)Why early intervention and equal diagnosis for men matters, not just emotionally but medicallyIf you've had unexplained infertility, failed cycles, or losses with no clear answer, this episode could help you explore new questions and possibilities.Special thanks to Examine, sponsor of this episodeExamine offers direct, cutting-edge sperm DNA fragmentation testing (including single and double-strand damage) used by 85% of fertility clinics across the UK and Ireland.Tests are:Non-invasiveAvailable via clinics or partner hubsDesigned to provide clarity, confidence, and actionable insightYou don't need a referral to get tested – just book online, drop off your sample, and get detailed results you can discuss with your clinic.

For example: --Zohran Mamdani, the far left, pro-socialist, anti-Israel candidate for New York mayor, has a campaign ad in Arabic with a strategically placed Palestine Liberation Organization flag in the background wooing Muslims to go to the polls. --Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour issued a thinly veiled warning to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani saying that she will hold him accountable to fulfill campaign promises including dismantling an NYPD unit that polices terrorism threats, protests and riots. --Zohran Mamdani sought to blame President Trump for bomb threats at polling places. --An internal report confirms that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) was caught in a serious lie concerning words spoken by President Trump on January 6th, 2021, to his supporters. --A poll conducted by the Henry Jackson Society reported that 32% of British Muslims favor the implementation of Sharia in the UK. --Suspects in an alleged Dearborn, Michigan, terror plot were said to be Muslim terrorists. They were accused of stockpiling weapons for an ISIS inspired attack according to an FBI affidavit. Feds found over 1,600 rounds of ammunition, multiple firearms and tactical vests in raids of their homes and a storage unit. --Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused college age individuals of being stupid and that's why they're put in dormitories. Ironically, at the same time, she wants to lower the voting age to 16.

The 'bionic eye' may make you think of Star Trek's Geordi La Forge. Now, scientists have restored the ability to read in a group of blind patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). And they've done it by implanting a computer chip in the back of their eyes. Professor Francesca Cordeiro, Chair of Ophthalmology at Imperial College London explains how bionic technology might provide future solutions for more people with sight loss.Researchers at the University of Sheffield have come up with a way of extracting hormones from human remains dating as far back as the 1st century AD. Marnie Chesterton speaks to Brenna Hassett, bioarchaeologist at the University of Lancashire to find out how pregnancy testing skeletons could cast new information on human evolution.

A survey of boys in secondary schools by Male Allies UK has found that just over a third said they were considering the idea of an AI friend. With growing concern about the rise of AI therapists and girlfriends, Lee Chambers, the founder and chief executive of Male Allies UK, and feminist sociologist Professor Jessica Ringrose, join Nuala McGovern to discuss the potential effect these AI companions could have on the mental health of teenage boys.Pornography featuring strangulation or suffocation - often called choking - is due to be criminalised across the UK as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls. It follows an independent review which found depictions of choking were "rife" on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people. Gemma Kelly, policy consultant on the review, and Professor Clare McGlynn, leading expert on VAWG and gender equality, discuss.The latest edition of the popular Football Manager video game features female football players and managers for the first time in its history. The game has been played by 19 million people and has origins that go back 30 years. We hear from Tina Keech, head of women's football research at Sports Interactive, the company behind Football Manager. Over the past 25 years Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer Lynsey Addario has covered almost every major conflict of the modern era. She's been kidnapped twice - once in Iraq and once in Libya - yet continues to return to the frontlines, driven to tell the stories of those caught in conflict. A new documentary, Love + War, follows her extraordinary career and what it's like returning home at the end of an assignment to ‘normal' life with her partner and two children.

Send us a textResponsibility isn't a vibe—it's a skill set that protects your dog, your community, and your peace of mind. We open with a frank look at UK law and why “friendly” doesn't matter if someone feels scared, especially when your dog is big and loud. Then we share Bonnie's transformation from high-stakes history to steady, social companion, using practical tools any owner can apply: games-based training, thoughtful management, and stepwise freedom.We break down the real difference size and arousal make in public spaces and how to lower risk with clear choices. You'll hear simple ways to turn chaos into calm: teaching a rock-solid recall and proximity, introducing a positive muzzle for safety, and making off-lead time a gradual, low-pressure progression rather than an all-or-nothing leap. At the vet, we show how planning ahead—videos, car waiting, cooperative care—can prevent panic and protect everyone. At home, we talk countersurfing prevention, guest setups, pens and gates, and how tiny tweaks stop big mistakes from ever happening.Bonnie's “ding dong dash” routine for deliveries shows how boundaries create freedom. With selective play, capped arousal, and careful dog-to-dog intros, progress sticks and stress stays low. Games turn training into emotion change, not just obedience; management buys safety while those new habits bed in. If you've wondered how to juggle kindness with control, or how to move from fear of mistakes to confident, everyday wins, this is your guide to becoming your dog's best advocate and safest leader.If this helped you rethink responsibility, share it with someone who needs a clearer plan.

A routine walk home. A man beaten for being himself. And a city forced to confront its quiet complicity.In 2005, 24-year-old Jody Dobrowski was walking home through Clapham Common when he crossed paths with two strangers who decided his sexuality made him a target. The attack was so violent that even seasoned detectives were shaken. But what began as another hate-fueled assault soon sparked a national reckoning and a moment that would expose the limits of tolerance in modern Britain and change the way the country talked about queer safety forever.In this episode of Beers With Queers: A True Crime Podcast, we trace the life and legacy of Jody Dobrowski, a young man whose death helped shape the conversation around homophobia, violence, and justice in the UK's LGBTQ+ community. This is not just a gay murder case. It's a story of systemic failure, activism, and resilience that still echoes today in queer history.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

In a raucous ride filled with twists and turns that only the Neal Baer years of SVU can deliver, the Unit first catches a dead baby in a bag in a gutter and ends up with two different perps going down for two very different crimes one of which is ripped from not one, but two different headlines. Featuring dives into West Nile Virus, the origins of the UK's Anatomy Act 1832, and subdermal tubes filled with other people's blood used to juke blood tests, this one has a lot going on, and that has nothing to do with how this Season 5, Episode 5 "Serendipity" will forever reframe how you look at honey.Sources:The use of insects in forensic investigations: An overview on the scope of forensic entomology - National Library of Medicine, PubMed CentralBurke and Hare Murders - WikipediaMusic:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, and Karyn R - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

The Kelly family are third-generation turkey farmers who have dedicated their lives to breeding the best turkeys in the UK. For 52 years, they have gone against the trend and stuck to century's old tried and tested practices to produce wild birds with an extraordinary depth of flavor.  This year they celebrate 52 years as Britain's most awarded turkey. But most importantly, 52 years of providing wild turkey the way we are all meant to enjoy. The Kelly family raise Bronze Turkeys that are wild (which is notches above free-range). Left free to run, forage and grow slowly to fully mature in woodlands across 3 seasons - spring, autumn and winter. Compare this to the average turkey which is grown for 8 weeks, often in commercial barns.  Paul Kelly and his family run turkey farms in the UK and in the US, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountain. We discuss: The fascinating history of the turkey, from its origins in Mexico to becoming the bird of choice for royal feasts in England. How modern breeding has changed the flavor and quality of turkeys, and why KellyBronze turkeys are raised differently. The traditional practices of dry plucking and hanging, and how they create a richer, more tender bird. Why cooking technique and temperature matter just as much as the quality of the turkey itself. The case for enjoying turkey year-round, and how to find farmers who prioritize flavor, sustainability, and animal welfare.

In August 2023, Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver took an exciting leap across the pond — airing on UK Health Radio and sharing caregiver stories with an international audience for the first time.But there was just one catch…They had 45 minutes or less to tell their story.Unlike their five-part U.S. debut series, the sisters — Natalie, JJ, and Emilie — had to condense years of caregiving, laughter, loss, and growth into one whirlwind episode.So, for National Family Caregivers Month, we're rewinding to that moment.To how it all began.To see just how much caregiving — and caregivers — have evolved in the 26 months since that UK debut.Join us as the sisters (lovingly) battle for the mic to share it all — from Jason's cancer diagnosis and Mom's Parkinson's journey, to their first lessons in skilled nursing, advocacy, and the messy mix of grief and guilt that shaped who they are today.All this… in just 45 minutes.Tune in, laugh, cry, and remember: we may all be reluctant caregivers at first, but together, we find the courage to keep going. Support the showConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!

We're back with another packed episode as John returns and people everywhere are talking about general strikes. First we start with headlines from Volkswagen, Breakthrough Beverages, Minneapolis Public Schools, Texas State University, Microsoft, Uber, and the FAA. The Trump Administration has rolled out another policy to attack workers, this time attacking our right to keep all our digits. A recent piece on On Labor raises the possibility of sectoral bargaining in higher education as a solution to intransigent administrators constantly undermining student workers. The UK hit a new low as a recent report shows that even when they rule companies are illegally refusing to pay workers, they don't even bother collecting their fines. The provincial government of Alberta is waging a scorched earth campaign to rob teachers of their right to strike, which may actually prompt a general strike across the province. Finally, we follow up with yet another report exposing that most of the companies claiming they're replacing workers with AI...aren't.

David Singer is an internationally acclaimed clarinetist whose career has included two performances at the White House and more than 150 appearances in Carnegie Hall. Joseph Horowitz in The New York Times wrote about David Singer, “To describe his playing would be to enumerate a catalogue of virtues.” Mr. Singer's recording of the Aaron Copland Clarinet Concerto was praised by Lawrence A. Johnson from Gramophone Magazine in the UK as “one of the finest accounts around,” and his performances have been featured on the BBC and on Sirius XM as a principal performer of the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, NYC. Professor Singer taught as a guest teacher at both the Yale and Princeton Schools of Music as well as at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, and is Emeritus Professor of Clarinet/Coordinator of Chamber Music at Montclair State University, NJ. He continues to coach young musicians across Southern California and performs with the Singer Chamber Players and the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra. His debut memoir, From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall, chronicles his remarkable journey of overcoming obstacles and ultimately becoming successful in music and life. From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall has just been chosen among many ten's of thousands of books to be part of the Los Angeles Public Library collection. “From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall shows how effort and perseverance can turn dreams into reality.” “This book is a testament to inspiration and resilience.” Diana Lopez, Readers' Favorite Five Star Review A Courageous Story of a Life in Music - This is an excellent view of an inspired life in the turgid world of classical music in the late 1960's – 2000's. Reading of his struggles and triumphs to reach the top of his field and survive is stirring.
