Hoe de overheid artsen KAPOT maakte tijdens corona | Frank Stadermann | The Trueman Show #266 Deze week in The Trueman Show: Frank Stadermann   Wat gebeurt er als een man die veertig jaar lang de pilaren van ons rechtssysteem verdedigde, plotseling de barsten ontdekt? Vandaag schuift Frank Stadermann aan. Decennialang was hij de ultieme 'keurige advocaat' in aansprakelijkheids- en verzekeringsrecht, totdat zijn wereldbeeld onherroepelijk begon te kantelen.   Een sceptisch bezoekje aan de graancirkels in Wiltshire -waar hij eigenlijk alleen voor zijn vrouw naartoe ging - veranderde alles. Frank stond oog in oog met fenomenen zoals ‘orbs', die volgens zijn rationele wereldbeeld simpelweg niet konden bestaan. Vanaf dat moment begon een diepgaand proces van ontwaken, kritisch onderzoeken en het bevragen van autoriteit.   In deze aflevering spreken we uitgebreid over zijn nieuwe boek De Corona Inquisitie, waarin hij beschrijft wat er volgens hem misging tijdens de coronaperiode - met name rondom de behandeling van artsen die buiten de protocollen durfden te denken.   Frank begeleidde meerdere artsen die onder vuur kwamen te liggen vanwege het voorschrijven van middelen als hydroxychloroquine en ivermectine. Hij zag van dichtbij hoe meldingen, inspecties, dreiging met boetes en juridische procedures diepe sporen nalieten - niet alleen professioneel, maar ook persoonlijk.   Daarnaast duiken we in zijn bredere levenspad: van Minerva tot promotie, van George Orwell tot 9/11, en van rationeel jurist tot iemand die het dominante narratief fundamenteel in twijfel trok.   In deze podcast:   Juridische strijd tijdens corona Hydroxychloroquine, ivermectine & medische vrijheid De rol van de rechterlijke macht De Corona Inquisitie Ontwaken & wereldbeeldverschuiving Van systeemadvocaat naar systeemcriticus Groepsdruk, verraad en morele moed   Word Member en bekijk Uncensored op That's The Spirit: https://thatsthespirit.nu/in Volg ons op: Instagram: / thetruemanshowpodcast Facebook: / thetruemanshowpodcast Telegram: https://t.me/s/jornluka?before=217 X: / TruemanshowNL Wekelijks op de hoogte blijven van alle afleveringen, updates, boekentips en de blogs van onze gasten?

Former British cabinet minister and former ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson, widely known as Lord Mandelson, was arrested on February 23, 2026, by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office as part of an investigation linked to revelations in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Authorities allege that while serving as a senior UK government minister in 2009–2010, Mandelson may have passed sensitive UK government information to Epstein and maintained a relationship with him even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. The arrest follows searches of his homes in London and Wiltshire and emerged amid growing public and political scrutiny over Mandelson's ties to Epstein, which had already cost him his ambassadorial post and led to his resignation from the House of Lords and the Labour Party.After being taken into custody and questioned by police, Mandelson was released on bail pending further investigation, with the Metropolitan Police confirming that he must return for further enquiries as the case continues. Under UK law, misconduct in public office is a serious criminal offence, and Mandelson denies any wrongdoing. His arrest and bail come as the government faces intense pressure over its earlier decision to appoint him ambassador despite known concerns about his Epstein connections, and as lawmakers and critics demand further transparency and accountability in the unfolding investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson released on bail | AP News

Two years ago, in episode #64 of The Green Room, we asked the question 'How do we stay safe online?'    Since then, progress has been made. Businesses, tech leaders, governments and wider society have taken the time to understand the 'how' and have moved on to the 'do'.     Some countries have started taking steps to ban under-16s from all major social media platforms, while the UK has rolled our further developments in its Online Safety Act, bringing in new legislation that aims to protect both children and adults.      But in digital spaces, progress rarely moves in a straight line, and it can feel like every meaningful step forward is matched with a new threat that pushes us backwards.  In just two short years, the use of generative AI has become widespread. And while the technology has the potential to make us more productive and creative, it's also armed bad actors with new ways to spread misinformation, share upsetting content, and develop nefarious scams – all of which pose serious risks, not just to children and young people but to adults and businesses too.    So, how far have we really come in making the internet a secure and empowering space for everyone? Are things improving? Or just changing? How do we strike the right balance between protection and privacy? And what role can businesses and individuals play in keeping up with new technology to create an internet that is safe and valuable for everyone?     That's what we're exploring with Cosima Wiltshire, Director  at FlippGen, and James Smith, Head of Trust & Safety at Deloitte, as we ask: Is the internet getting safer?   Tune in to find out: Why has the conversation around digital safety increased? What significant developments in online protection have occurred in the last two years? How do we measure the success of digital safety initiatives? What's the role of business in creating a safer digital world for everyone? Enjoyed this episode?

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak, which caused devastation to thousands of farms across the country. Around 6.5 million animals were culled, with a cost to the UK economy of £8 billion. Charlotte Smith meets a farmer whose animals were destroyed in the outbreak, and speaks to UK Chief Vet Christine Middlemiss about the risk of another outbreak - and whether the response would be different.The issue of biosecurity at our ports has been in the spotlight in recent months. Dover Port Health Authority announced its highest ever monthly total of seizures of illegal meat - finding 34 tonnes of it in January. We hear from chair of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs select committee Alistair Carmichael MP, who gives us his reaction to the latest figures.Sheep shearing is an international business, with skilled shearers travelling the world to work across different countries. Many shearers who come to the UK are from Australia and New Zealand and have previously been allowed entry into the country each year via a special concession for highly skilled workers. This year, the UK Home Office has decided not to give this special temporary access. The National Association of Agricultural Contractors say these shearers are essential to the farming industry, and are warning that sheep welfare may be compromised without them.Farm vets are vital to any livestock business, but there's a shortage of vets wanting to work on farms. We join a cattle vet on a visit to a Wiltshire farm to hear about her role and Charlotte speaks to BVA president Rob Williams, who explains some of the reasons behind the shortage.Farming Today This Week was presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Jo Peacey. A BBC Audio Bristol production.

Livestock worrying cost UK farmers nearly two million pounds last year, a ten percent increase on the year before. Farm insurers NFU Mutual, who published the figures, say that's in spite of many pet owners believing their own dogs are incapable of injuring or killing farm animals.This week we're exploring the role of the farm vet and today we're out on the round with a cattle vet in Wiltshire. More than two hundred thousand new hedgerow trees are being planted this winter, as part of the Campaign To Protect Rural England's Hedgerow heroes Initiative. BBC South East Today's Chrissie Reidy went along to see planting at the Birling Estate in Kent. Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling

In this candid conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, and leadership development coach Danielle Adams-Wiltshire, PCC of Queen Suite Coaching get real about the burnout epidemic hitting coaches and clients alike in 2026. They trace the surprising history of burnout... from shell shock in the World Wars, to John Henryism and the crushing toll on Black Americans during Jim Crow, to the clinical coining of "burnout" in the 1970s... and land squarely in the present, where everyone seems to be running on fumes with no finish line in sight. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom episode. Noelle and Danielle share what actually helps when you're on your knees: the neurobiological power of laughter, why dogs might be the best leadership teachers, the difference between toxic positivity and genuine resilience, and why your 2026 goals don't have to be big... they just have to be yours. The goal doesn't have to always be growth. It can be function.

This is the fourth and final episode of our series examining the 1860 Road Hill House murder, the case that gave birth to modern detective fiction. Previous episodes covered the murder of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent, Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's groundbreaking investigation, and the five years of cold case torment that preceded Constance Kent's confession.The gallery was packed to suffocation. July 21, 1865. Five years they'd waited for this moment. Five years since Francis Saville Kent was found with his throat cut in the family privy. Five years since Inspector Whicher accused Constance Kent of murdering her baby brother—and was destroyed for saying so. When the clerk asked how she pleaded, Constance spoke one word: "Guilty." No mitigation. No excuse. No insanity defense that might have saved her from prison.When Constance Kent stood in the prisoner's dock at Devizes Assizes on July 21, 1865, she refused the insanity defense her counsel had carefully prepared. Instead, she pleaded guilty to murdering her three-year-old half-brother Francis—a single word that silenced the packed courtroom and condemned her to death.But Queen Victoria's government commuted her sentence. At sixteen when she committed the murder, Constance had carried the secret for five years before confessing voluntarily. She served twenty years in Victorian prisons—first at Millbank, then Fulham Refuge—transforming from a troubled teenager into a model prisoner who educated herself and learned nursing skills.In 1886, a woman named Ruth Emilie Kaye boarded the ship Carisbrooke Castle bound for Sydney. Constance Kent ceased to exist. For fifty-eight years, she built a new life in Australia, rising to Matron at several institutions, nursing the sick and elderly, living in quiet anonymity until her death at one hundred years old in 1944. No one in Australia knew they were burying England's most notorious Victorian murderess.Key Case DetailsTrial and Sentencing (July 1865):Thirty-minute trial at Devizes AssizesJustice Willes presiding, John Duke Coleridge defendingGuilty plea rejected insanity defenseDeath sentence commuted to life imprisonmentPrison Years (1865-1885):Twenty years served at Millbank and Fulham prisonsModel prisoner with no disciplinary incidentsSelf-educated in nursing skillsRelease conditional on leaving EnglandAustralian Reinvention (1886-1944):Emigrated as Ruth Emilie Kaye aboard Carisbrooke CastleNursing career spanning four decadesMatron at Parramatta Industrial School for GirlsMatron at Pierce Memorial Nurses' Home for twenty-one yearsDied April 10, 1944, at age 100, identity unknownLiterary Legacy:Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone (1868) directly inspired by the caseSergeant Cuff character modeled on Inspector WhicherFoundation for Sherlock Holmes and entire detective fiction genreInspector Whicher died June 29, 1881—exactly twenty-one years after the murder nightFrancis Saville Kent was three years and ten months old when he died. He was not a plot device or a mystery to be solved. He was a child with dark hair and bright eyes who ate his porridge at a small table by the window, who played in the June sunshine of a Wiltshire garden, whose small voice fell silent on a night that would echo through a century and a half of English history. He was not the mystery. He was the cost.Historical Context & SourcesThis series draws extensively from Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008), the definitive modern account based on extensive primary research. Original trial transcripts from the National Archives and contemporary newspaper coverage from The Times and Morning Post (1860-1865) provided additional verification. Bernard Taylor's Cruelly Murdered (1979) contributed alternative perspectives on William Saville-Kent's potential involvement—a mystery that remains unresolved.Resources & Further ReadingKate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detectiveremains the essential text for understanding this case. Readers interested in the literary legacy should explore Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone (1868), widely considered the first modern English detective novel.

This is Episode 2 of 4 in Foul Play's Road Hill House Murder series, covering Victorian England's most notorious family crime. Episode 1 established the Kent family's toxic dynamics and the discovery of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent's body. This episode follows Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's revolutionary investigation and his tragic downfall at the hands of Victorian class prejudice.On July 16, 1860, a train departed Paddington Station carrying a middle-aged man with a smallpox-scarred face and blue eyes that catalogued every detail. Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher—one of England's first professional detectives—was about to solve the Road Hill House murder in just five days. What he couldn't solve was Victorian society's refusal to believe...Episode SummaryWhen Scotland Yard's finest detective arrived in Wiltshire to investigate the murder of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent, he brought revolutionary investigative techniques that would shape criminal investigation for generations. Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher interviewed witnesses separately, compared their stories for inconsistencies, and built psychological profiles—methods modern detectives would instantly recognize.Within five days, Whicher had identified his suspect: sixteen-year-old Constance Kent, the victim's half-sister. His evidence centered on a missing nightgown—one of three that Constance owned, now mysteriously absent from the household laundry. In an era before DNA analysis or forensic laboratories, Whicher understood that the absence of evidence could itself be evidence. A bloodstained nightgown couldn't be cleaned or hidden—it had to be destroyed.But Whicher faced an obstacle more formidable than any criminal: Victorian class prejudice. He was a gardener's son who had risen through merit. Constance was a "young lady of good breeding." When he arrested her, the public erupted in fury. Newspapers condemned him for persecuting an innocent girl. Her defense attorney, Peter Edlin, transformed the preliminary hearing into a trial of Whicher himself—questioning what kind of man interrogates a teenage girl alone in her bedroom.The magistrates released Constance due to insufficient evidence. Whicher returned to London in disgrace. His career was destroyed, his health broken. He was right about everything—and it cost him everything.Key Case DetailsDetective: Jonathan "Jack" Whicher, Detective Inspector, Scotland YardSuspect: Constance Emily Kent, age 16Victim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years 10 monthsLocation: Road Hill House, Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandTime Period: July 16-27, 1860Key Evidence: Missing nightgown from household laundry recordsOutcome: Constance released; Whicher's career destroyed by class prejudiceThe First Modern DetectiveJonathan Whicher represents a pivotal moment in criminal justice history. Before professional detectives, crime investigation relied on informants, rewards, and confessions obtained through pressure. Whicher pioneered systematic investigation: separate witness interviews, timeline reconstruction, psychological profiling, and the revolutionary concept that physical evidence—or its absence—could tell a story.His techniques at Road Hill House read like a modern investigation manual. He interviewed the household staff individually, noting inconsistencies in their stories. He reconstructed the timeline of the murder night hour by hour. He examined the crime scene for physical evidence. He built a profile of the likely killer based on access, motive, and opportunity.The tragedy is that his brilliance couldn't overcome the social barriers of his era. Victorian society wasn't ready to accept that respectable families could produce murderers—or that a working-class detective could be right about an upper-class suspect.Victorian True Crime ContextThe Road Hill House case exposed fundamental tensions in Victorian society. The emerging professional police force—Scotland Yard was barely thirty years old in 1860—represented a threat to traditional class hierarchies. When Whicher accused Constance Kent, he wasn't just accusing a girl of murder. He was claiming that a working-class detective could penetrate the secrets of respectable families and judge their daughters.The public backlash was immediate and fierce. Newspapers that had demanded answers now demanded Whicher's resignation. The same society that was horrified by Francis's murder was more horrified by the suggestion that his killer came from within his own family.Historical Context & SourcesWe highly recommend Kate Summerscale's acclaimed 2008 book "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective," which provides the most comprehensive modern analysis of the case. Additional details come from contemporary newspaper accounts in The Times and Morning Post, trial transcripts from the National Archives, and Victorian police records documenting Whicher's investigative methods.Resources & Further ReadingKate Summerscale, "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" (2008)The National Archives (UK) - Victorian Crime and Punishment RecordsBritish Newspaper Archive - Contemporary coverage 1860Related Media:"The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" (2011 TV film starring Paddy Considine)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Season 37, Episode 1 of 4This is the first episode in Foul Play's four-part investigation into Victorian England's most notorious family murder and the case that birthed modern detective fiction.Elizabeth Gough checked Francis Saville Kent's cot at five in the morning on June 30, 1860. The blankets were gone. The three-year-old was gone. And somewhere in Road Hill House, someone who knew exactly what had happened was waiting for the search to begin—On the last night of June 1860, three-year-old Francis Saville Kent was lifted from his nursery bed in the family's Wiltshire mansion. Hours later, a servant discovered his small body in the outdoor privy, his throat cut nearly to the spine.The killer came from inside the house. That much was immediately certain. But who among the nine people sleeping at Road Hill House that night would murder a child? And why?This episode traces the fractured Kent family—a household divided between a tyrannical father's first marriage and second, where teenage Constance and her brother William existed as ghosts in their own home while their half-brother Francis received everything they'd been denied. We witness the horror of discovery morning, the bungled local investigation, and the arrival of Detective Inspector Jonathan "Jack" Whicher from Scotland Yard—a working-class detective about to walk into a class warfare trap that would destroy him.Some walls don't protect families. They hide what families are capable of doing to themselves.Key Case DetailsVictim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years and 10 months, murdered June 29-30, 1860Location: Road Hill House, village of Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandCrime: The boy was taken from his nursery bed between midnight and five in the morning, carried through the dark house, and murdered in the outdoor privy. His throat was slashed from ear to ear with a razor or knife, cutting nearly to the spine. His body was stuffed into the privy vault and hidden among waste.Initial Investigation: Local police focused on servants and outsiders, refusing to suspect the respectable Kent family. Critical evidence—including a bloodstained nightgown belonging to sixteen-year-old half-sister Constance Kent—was destroyed by her father with police cooperation. The inquest returned "willful murder by person or persons unknown."Scotland Yard Intervention: Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher arrived July 16, 1860, and within five days identified Constance Kent as his primary suspect—the first time in English history a young lady from a respectable family faced formal murder charges.Section 4: The Victim - Francis Saville KentFrancis Saville Kent deserves to be remembered as more than a murder victim. He was three years and ten months old—dark-haired, curious, his father's favorite child. He collected smooth stones from the garden and named them after colors. He asked endless questions about where stars came from and why dogs didn't talk. He had a stuffed rabbit he couldn't sleep without and an imaginary pack of dogs that followed him everywhere.He was learning to count but always skipped the number nine. He negotiated extra bedtime stories with remarkable persistence for a toddler. He called his half-sister Constance "Tannie" because he couldn't pronounce her name.He was three years old. Someone murdered him anyway.Section 5: Victorian True Crime ContextVictorian England in 1860 was obsessed with respectability. Gas lamps flickered in drawing rooms across the countryside while servants moved silently through service corridors. Behind heavy curtains and locked doors, families performed daily rituals of propriety—morning prayers, afternoon tea, church attendance every Sunday.The outside world saw polished brass door knockers and manicured gardens. Inside, secrets festered.The Road Hill House case shattered Victorian assumptions about where crime originated. Respectable families didn't produce murderers. Young ladies of good breeding didn't commit violence. Working-class detectives couldn't accuse gentlemen's daughters.These assumptions would destroy Detective Inspector Whicher's career—and let a killer walk free for five more years.Section 6: Historical Context & SourcesThe Road Hill House Murder became Victorian England's most notorious domestic crime and directly inspired the birth of detective fiction. Wilkie Collins used case details when writing The Moonstone (1868), widely considered the first modern detective novel. Charles Dickens followed the investigation closely and incorporated elements into his final, unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's methods—systematic crime scene analysis, methodical witness interviews, evidence-based deduction regardless of social class—represented revolutionary policing. His destruction by class prejudice exposed how Victorian justice protected the respectable while prosecuting the poor.Primary Source: Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008) provides the most comprehensive modern account, drawing on original trial transcripts, contemporary newspaper coverage, and National Archives documents.Content Advisory: This episode contains clinical description of violence against a child, consistent with documented historical records.Section 6A: Resources & Further ReadingThe Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale (2008) - Definitive modern account of the caseCruelly Murdered by Bernard Taylor (1979) - Alternative analysis exploring brother William's potential involvementThe Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (1868) - Detective fiction directly inspired by the Road Hill House investigationThe National Archives (UK) maintains original trial transcripts and investigation documents from 1860-1865Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Christmas 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the remarkable set of encounters experienced by the residents of Warminster, Wiltshire, in the UK. Now known as the 'Warminster Thing' - a mysterious series of sightings and sounds heard and seen around the town of Warminster in Wiltshire, UK, around Christmas December 1965, we present a reload of our show discussing the events.The KTPF team talk with Kevin Goodman, author of UFO WARMINSTER: Cradle of Contact. The Warminster ‘Thing', as it became known, was sighted on numerous occasions, leaving both residents and even the local police baffled. What did they witness? Secret military operations emanating from the local base, or something otherworldly? The debate continues. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

Within UFOlogy, there are several areas of specialization, such as abductions, landing traces, humanoids, contactees, military encounters, etc. They often have their own specialized literature put out by individual researchers or organizations, and many have come and gone in terms of popular fascination and press coverage. One aspect that has fallen by the wayside is crop circle research, also known as “cereology.” Its early history, and the reasons for it falling out of favor with the press, and even among UFOlogists, is summed up neatly in the 1986 report, Mystery of the Circles, “compiled by” by Paul Fuller and Jenny Randles (Randles is the writer) for the British UFO Association. Of course, their report didn't put an immediate end to the phenomenon or the activity of researcher/investigators who were focused on it, but it did presage the eventual waning of interest to where very few in the community continue to consider it seriously as having anything to do with UFOs.According to Randles, mystery circles in the British West Country first started getting media attention in August of 1980, but “persistent local rumors” of them appearing in oat, barley, and wheat fields throughout Wiltshire and Hampshire goes back to at least 40 years before that. As of the release of the report, mysterious circles had shown up in fields between May and August for six successive years. Randles points out that the reason BUFORA became involved was because of the appearance of circles in the area of Warminster, which was notorious for a UFO flap in the 1960's involving an object known as “The Warminster Thing.” She explains that this “created a definite hype which sees these marks regarded as ground traces left by a landing, or hovering, spacecraft.” Read more →

The Space Show present Brian Clegg, author of “The Multiverse When One Universe Isn't Enough” on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025Short summaryOur discussion featured Brian Clegg, a UK science author, who talked his book “The Multiverse: When One Universe Isn't Enough.” The conversation explored various scientific theories about multiple universes, including inflationary cosmology, string theory, and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, while acknowledging that these concepts remain largely speculative and not yet supported by strong scientific evidence. The discussion concluded with Brian sharing insights about writing science for general audiences and exploring the philosophical implications of multiverse theories, including their connection to spiritual perspectives and the challenges of communicating between different universes.Detailed SummaryI introduced the participants, including John Jossy, Dr. Sherry Bell, and Brian, who was joining from Wiltshire, England. Others from The Space Show Wisdom Team joined during the discussion.I introduced Brian Clegg, a well-known UK science author, to discuss his book “The Multiverse: When One Universe Isn't Enough.” Brian explained that the multiverse theory suggests the existence of multiple universes beyond our own, though he noted that this concept is still largely speculative and not yet widely accepted in mainstream science. The discussion touched on recent developments in physics, including Professor Tutani's work at the University of Tokyo on dark matter, which Brian expressed skepticism about without further confirmation. I also provided updates on the show's upcoming programs and encouraged listeners to support the show through donations and subscriptions.Brian discussed the concept of a multiverse, explaining that it extends beyond the traditional universe and is influenced by both scientific and fictional perspectives. He explored various scientific theories, including multiple universes resulting from more than one big bang or additional dimensions, and addressed the fine-tuning problem, which suggests that a multiverse could explain the existence of life in our universe. Brian noted that while some cosmologists and physicists support the idea of a multiverse, it remains largely philosophical and unproven, with no current scientific method to confirm its existence.We discussed various theories about the multiverse, including the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and the concept of bubble universes expanding in a higher-dimensional space. Brian explained that while inflation is well-accepted in our universe, other universes could be based on different inflation models. Marshall raised questions about the 11 dimensions in string theory and their potential connection to other universes and gravity. Brian noted that while the Ekpyrotic Universe theory offers an interesting picture, there are still many gaps in the physics that need to be sorted out. He concluded that while the multiverse concept is intriguing, it remains largely speculative and not yet supported by strong scientific evidence.David and Brian discussed the concept of a multiverse, exploring its origins and the evolution of ideas about the universe over time. Brian explained that ancient civilizations, like the Greeks, had a limited view of the universe, constrained to the solar system, and lacked the scientific basis to conceptualize a larger universe. The invention of the telescope expanded their understanding, revealing a much larger scale with more stars and galaxies. Brian noted that modern multiverse theories, such as the many-worlds hypothesis and inflationary cosmology, emerged in the 20th century, often driven by philosophical and fictional influences. He also criticized the use of statistics in some multiverse theories, arguing that they do not provide a sound basis for concluding the existence of other universes.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the concept of fine-tuning in the universe, with David questioning how finely tuned properties could exist alongside random creation. Brian shared insights from physicist Fred Hoyle, who believed in some form of organization outside the universe, while John explained the anthropic principle, which suggests that the universe must have certain properties for conscious beings like humans to exist. Marshall inquired about the interrelation of physical constants, but Brian stated that no general theory unifying all constants into one basic constant like Planck's has been developed. Brian also clarified the distinction between the weak and strong anthropic principles, noting that while the weak principle is widely accepted, the strong principle faces challenges due to the lack of evidence for other universes and the misuse of statistics.Brian discussed his approach to writing about complex scientific concepts like the multiverse, emphasizing the importance of providing an overview and presenting different theories without getting overwhelmed by details. He highlighted the tendency of media headlines to overhype scientific ideas, using examples like the quantum multiverse and Google's analogy, and noted that scientists themselves often do not make such grand claims. Brian also explained the concept of colliding universes based on M-theory, where each universe is a multidimensional brane floating in a wider space, and discussed how gravity's weakness could be explained by these universes colliding.The Wisdom Team discussed the concept of multiple universes and how people might connect with the idea through spiritual or religious perspectives. Brian noted that the concept of parallel dimensions became popular in the late 19th century with the rise of spiritualism. John Hunt and David explored the possibility of extraterrestrials coming from other universes, but John emphasized that this is more science fiction than science. The discussion also touched on the challenges of communicating between different universes and the potential for time travel to create new realities.We continued focusing on multiverse theories and their implications, with Brian explaining that different bubble universes don't overlap because space itself is expanding rather than universes expanding into each other. He explored concepts of infinity and time with us, with Marshall and Brian discussing mathematical perspectives on infinity and Brian noting that while time travel is technically possible according to relativity, practical backward time travel remains unlikely. The conversation concluded with Brian discussing his upcoming biography of the electron and his approach to writing science for general audiences, noting that while multiverse theories remain speculative, they continue to be an interesting area for scientific and philosophical exploration.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Conservationists have accused the government of turning its back on nature in the new planning bill which is making its way through parliament. The RSPB says the legislation is creating a new tried and untested process which will put nature and nature markets at risk.We often talk about exports of produce like beef and dairy but exporting farm animal genetics is also big business. The industry estimates that around 70 per cent of the world's farmed poultry orginates from UK breeding stock, while UK cattle genetics are now exported to 100 countries around the world. A new agreement with Kenya will see sheep and goat genetics exported there. The UK Export Certification Partnership is a public-private grouping which promotes the export of livestock products, breeding stock and genetics. All this week, we're checking in with the dairy industry. Over the last 30 years, the size of the UK dairy herd has been gradually falling, while average milk yields, that's the number of litres a cow produces, has been steadily increasing. That increase is partly down to using new technology like on-demand robotic milking machines. We visit a herd of indoor cows in Wiltshire.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Episode Summary: Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger's viral speech on England's Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation's conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)?

In this thrilling episode, we sit down with Abbie Dent, a passionate paranormal researcher and experiencer of extraordinary phenomena. As the chair of Haunted Devon and host of Lifting the Veil Radio Show (soon to be available on all major platforms), Abbie brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand encounters to the conversation. Growing up in a haunted house in the eerie and enchanting region of Devon, UK, Abbie's fascination with the supernatural began at a young age, sparked by sightings of UFOs and ghostly apparitions. She recounts a spine-chilling weekend in 2012 in Wiltshire, where she investigated mysterious crop circles and encountered an enigmatic hooded figure—locally known as one of “the Guardians.” These strange beings, rumored to protect the land, are reportedly known to the local military, who are instructed to ignore them. Abbie reveals that this was not an isolated incident, sharing another night of high strangeness at the same location in 2013.

What do we really know about Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire and mother of Anne Boleyn? Until now, she's been little more than a shadow in history — remembered only as the wife of Thomas Boleyn and the mother of Anne, Mary, and George. But in a groundbreaking new biography, historian Sophie Bacchus-Waterman uncovers Elizabeth's real story: her career at court, her influence, and her role in one of Tudor England's most ambitious families. In this exclusive interview, I talk with Sophie about: - Why Elizabeth has been so overlooked in Tudor history - The surprising discoveries made during her research - How Elizabeth shaped the rise of the Boleyns - Whether she's been unfairly judged in fiction and history - And what this biography reveals about Anne Boleyn's world. Sophie's new book: Elizabeth Boleyn: The Life of the Queen's Mother is the very first biography of this fascinating woman, and it shines a long-overdue light on her life and legacy.

Diana Taylor: A practice where research and materiality meet. Presented by What's My Thesis? in partnership with DON'T LOOK Projects In this illuminating live conversation recorded at DON'T LOOK Projects, UK-based artist Diana Taylor joins host Javier Proenza (What's My Thesis?) for a deeply textured discussion around her first solo show in the United States, Flotsam and Jetsam. Organized by DON'T LOOK Projects in association with SLQS Gallery in London, the exhibition draws on Taylor's research-intensive practice, exploring time through the fusion of research and materiality. Her work employs a remix logic, echoing Sigmar Polke's 1980s period. Currently in a short-term fellowship at The Huntington, Taylor speaks about her practice-based research. Her PhD was in collaboration with the William Morris Gallery, where she focused on how historical craft, screen-printing, and reproducibility inform her contemporary approach to painting. With roots in both rural Wiltshire and Cyprus, Taylor's early exposure to English landscape painting, tapestry, and devotional patternwork creates a foundation for her ongoing material inquiries into time, collapse, and visual culture. The conversation explores: Taylor's use of screenprinting on raw and repurposed canvas as a method of layering digital and analog imagery The influence of William Morris, The Divine Comedy by Gustav Doré, Sigmar Polke and 1970s suburban interiors on her visual lexicon A meditation on contemporaneity—the feeling of living amidst overlapping temporalities in the age of the internet The metaphor of Flotsam and Jetsam as a conceptual frame for image overload, cultural debris, and the residue of civilization Her experimental use of digital tools—zooming, pixelation, low-res 3D scanning—not to perfect, but to fail productively. Collapsing binaries: nature and culture, craft and tech, chaos and control, digital noise and sacred relic Also discussed is Taylor's current work at The Huntington, where she's engaging with historical plant taxonomies, rare botanical prints, and Morris's medieval utopian socialism to produce a new body of work and a forthcoming article in The Journal of William Morris Studies. Flotsam and Jetsam is on view at DON'T LOOK Projects through August 30, 2025. Please email gallery@dontlookprojects.com to schedule a private viewing. Listen to this episode to uncover: Why Taylor considers pixelation and printed crochet as relics of maternal labor and digital memory How screenprinting becomes a form of archaeological gesture The relationship between digital overstimulation and visual stillness Why artists might choose ruin, repetition, or failure as aesthetic strategies in a culture obsessed with optimization Featured Institutions & Collaborators: The Huntington Library, William Morris Gallery, DON'T LOOK Projects, SLQS Gallery, What's My Thesis?

Nic's fascination with the paranormal began in childhood, marked by a profound experience at the age of three when she witnessed the curtains in her bedroom open inexplicably. This incident, which left her questioning what might have been observing her, was corroborated by her father, a military professional and meticulous observer of ufology, who also encountered unusual phenomena in the same room, including an unsettling growl emanating from the wardrobe. Nic continually scans the skies, pondering the question: Are we alone? Her experiences, including sightings of mysterious orange orbs seemingly observing her quiet street at night and a Tic-Tac shaped UFO spotted over a field during a school run, suggest she may have found answers. Nic actively shares her insights and encounters through her dedicated Facebook page, *Unknown Wiltshire & Beyond*, a platform devoted to exploring high strangeness and unexplained phenomena. Link: Unknown Wiltshire & Beyond. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ZWFon8c7y/?mibextid=wwXIfrWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

General Sir Patrick Sanders has a stark warning: Britain must prepare for war with Russia within five years and start building bunkers and better air defences.Speaking exclusively to our Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan, the former head of the British army points to the Nordic countries and says we need to start taking a leaf out of their book.He also discusses why an Iron Dome couldn't work in the UK, his thoughts on the recent Israel-Iran war, and why he didn't encourage his son to join the army.General Sanders stood down as head of the British army last summer. The former rifleman had been tipped to be the next Chief of the Defence Staff but fell out of favour with the Government for being too outspoken about the extent of troop cuts.Our defence editor Danielle interviewed him in his garden at his home in rural Wiltshire, with his blonde Labrador Fargo by his side.You can read her write-up and see some pretty extraordinary photos of General Sanders here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/11/britain-must-prepare-for-war-with-russia-next-five-years/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

In the 1970s and 80s, Caroline Eshghi was a young girl living in Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire. From the moment she was born until she ran away at the age of 15, Caroline was beaten, burned and starved by her mother. In May this year, Melanie Burmingham was jailed for 20 months for abusing her daughter more than 50 years ago. Caroline tells Krupa Padhy why she is now petitioning for a change to the law around historical cases that only allows a sentence available at the time of offending. The first malaria treatment suitable for babies has been approved for use. We speak to BBC Africa Health Correspondent Dorcas Wangira in Nairobi to find out how this may empower healthcare workers in the battle against the disease that takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year.One of the key measures that Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is reported to be considering as part of her Sentencing Bill is a national rollout of drugs that suppress sexual arousal to try and tackle sex offenders. There is currently a working pilot in the South West of England, and several of the clinicians, psychiatrists and forensic psychologists have raised concerns about making such a scheme mandatory. Krupa talks to Don Rubin, Emeritus Professor in Forensic Psychology at Newcastle University, and a consultant to the pilot programme. Fatima Timbo, known as Fats Timbo, is a content creator and comedian who has amassed an incredible 3 million followers on TikTok. Since appearing on TV show The Undateables in 2018, she's also been part of the team bringing us the Paralympics coverage from Paris last year. Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, she documents her experiences of being - as she describes it - ‘a little person', and now she's sharing her tips for succeeding in a world where it's difficult to be different in her book Main Character Energy: Ten Commandments for Living Life Fearlessly.

Interview starts at 31:00 Citizen D joins us for an honest and intriguing about making crop circles, the high strangeness / Fortean aspect of it and all aspects of it.   We ask some of the cliche questions about evidence from the 90's and forward, the memes, and the usually stuff, BLT, videos, etc but we also get deep into synchronicities and some other weird stuff that must be going on - or behind the phenomenon.   Deep state? What about UFO's? Wiltshire, ley lines? Ancient Neolithic sites? Full moon, mother earth, techniques that the human builders use, rituals and incantations and respect for the land. Retired Crop Circle Maker, Fortean, and Author of "IT CAN'T BE PEOPLE" - Voices from the Inner Circle.

What if everything we know about the universe's expansion is wrong? David Wiltshire offers a radical perspective on cosmic acceleration and dark energy, proposing that both might be illusions created by the varying passage of time in different regions of the universe. Wiltshire challenges the foundations of modern cosmology with his innovative Timescape model. We discuss the foundations of Einstein's theory of relativity, examining how time behaves differently in regions of high and low matter density. Wiltshire explains how this could alter our understanding of the universe's expansion, potentially eliminating the need for dark energy altogether. His work revisits Mark's Principle and its influence on cosmology, offering an alternative explanation for cosmic phenomena. This episode will captivate anyone interested in the future of cosmological theory, the mystery of dark energy, and the complex nature of time.

Oliver Lavery is an English mythologist, folklorist, traveling professional storyteller, and host of The Story Crow YouTube channel from Wiltshire County, England, the home of Stonehenge. For this summer solstice special, our return guest describes our recent trip to Avebury, Britain's largest Neolithic complex with its stone circles, village-sized henge [ditch], passage graves and giant manmade mound. First we've got to know, who built these mysterious megaliths & ancient earthworks; and for what purpose? Oliver shares a psychedelic vision he had during the annual solstice festivities that correlates with recent metaphysical theories that the stone circles assist the spirits of the dead. With the many burial mounds scattered across the landscape, we hear of uncanny sights & senses while camping amongst them along the ancient Ridgeway Trail. We conclude the highlights of mysterious Avebury with the largest prehistoric artificial mound in Europe, Silbury Hill. From there we muse on crop circles; hallucinogenic goblins; the similarity between bards & shamans; and finally, a little local lore from Wiltshire.Check out Oliver's Story Crow YouTube Channel and follow his van-life Instagram @The_Folk_BusSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com
