On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Executive Director of Consumers' Research Will Hild joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to analyze corporations' efforts to cover up their embrace of radical LGBT and racial quota policies and discuss the movement to expose and push back on that wokeness. If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

There's nothing like a provocative t-shirt to really make my day. I used to have one that said “F*ck Yoga”. The reactions to it were epic. Most folks would look at it, look at me and laugh.Every now and again someone would get utterly twisted up with me about it and I'd tell them two things:It's a fucking t-shirt.The t-shirt originated from a YOGA BRAND that was based in New York.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating t-shirts that spew hate, racist nonsense or such, but the other day when I saw a fellow wearing a t-shirt that initially raised my hackles. And then it piqued my curiosity.Wokeness Creates Weakness.And you know what, it's right.In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#wokeness #beingaware #compassion #weakness#goodbehavior #dogbehavior #baddogbehavior #dogtraining #shiftingbehavior #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

Host Stefan Lassnig empfängt die Autoren Peter Menasse und Fabian Burstein zum Gespräch über ihr Buch „Generation Delta: Jenseits von Jung und Alt“. Über Generationengrenzen hinweg reflektieren die Gäste, wie gegenseitiges Verständnis und konstruktive Auseinandersetzung helfen können, gesellschaftliche Gräben zu überwinden. Themen wie Klimaaktivismus, Cancel Culture, Wokeness, politische Kommunikation sowie das Verhältnis zwischen alten und neuen Medien werden vielschichtig beleuchtet. Die Diskussion macht deutlich: Fortschritt entsteht nicht aus Gegensätzen, sondern durch aktiven Austausch, Bereitschaft zur Abwägung und Offenheit für neue Lösungswege. Kritik am Reduktionismus politischer Lager, die Bedeutung von Erfahrungen älterer Generationen und die Notwendigkeit, gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen gemeinsam anzugehen, stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Provokante Aussagen, kontroverse Debatten und der Blick auf gesellschaftliche Trends zeichnen diese Episode aus und laden zur weiteren Diskussion ein.Podcastempfehlung der Woche:"Entscheidendes Wissen" von Michel Reimon#Links zur Folge:Generation Delta - Amalthea VerlagORF-Interview zum Buch Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.at

GOP Analyst, Dan Snell weighs in on RFK's plan which is garnering Republican support

Ein Kommentar von Paul Clemente.Weiß jemand noch, warum er im Februar die CDU gewählt hat? - Nun, ein Grund war gewiss die Hoffnung auf einen politischen Klimawandel. Auf eine Abschwächung der Wokeness in Politik, Justiz und Medien. Die Re-Demokratisierung öffentlicher Diskurse. Vielleicht sogar eine Aufarbeitung der Lockdown-Ära? Nichts da. Die letzten Wochen haben gezeigt: Der ehemalige Lockdown-Widerstand wird weiterhin verfolgt, verurteilt, wegen Bagatellen verknackt. Seien es Ärzte oder Juristen, die ihrem Gewissen folgten. Umgekehrt darf man Querdenker im Netz prangern und als Nazis beschimpfen. Merkel und die Ampel haben die Institutionen so weit infiltriert, dass ihre Politik dort weiterhin vertreten wird. Wenn nicht von allen, so doch von vielen.Freilich könnte man erwidern: Wurde Michael Ballweg nicht vor wenigen Tagen freigesprochen? Hat die Justiz damit nicht ihre Unabhängigkeit bewiesen? Ja, aber erst, nachdem die Staatsanwaltschaft den Querdenker jahrelang verfolgt und monatelang geknastet hatte. Damit wurde ein deutliches Signal gesetzt: Jedem lässt sich irgendetwas andrehen, jeder kann hinter Gittern landen. Selbst wenn es – wie im Falle Ballwegs – letztlich nur um 19,53 Euro geht. Diese Botschaft kann auch ein Freispruch kaum noch relativieren. Zumal das Urteil womöglich nicht das letzte Wort ist:Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat nämlich angekündigt, Rechtsmittel gegen den Freispruch zu prüfen. Peng! Dann müsste das höchste Strafgericht der Bundesrepublik, der Bundesgerichtshof, den Freispruch nochmal überprüfen. Trotz dieser Zähigkeit versichert der Südwestrundfunk: Das Verfahren gegen Ballweg sei keinesfalls politisch motiviert:„In der Anklage dagegen ging es um klar definierte Straftatbestände, in denen nicht von politischen Ansichten die Rede ist.“Schlaf weiter, möchte man dem Autor sagen. Sogar das Landgericht hatte über den „Belastungseifer“ der Staatsanwaltschaft geklagt. Andere Mainstream-Medien haben den Freispruch nur am Rande erwähnt. Einzig die Neue Zürcher Zeitung zeigte sich besorgt:„Der Ruf des Rechtsstaats hat gelitten“. Und weiter: „Ermittlungen und Prozesse dürfen nicht als Strafe eingesetzt werden. Doch genau das geschieht in Deutschland immer öfter.“ Dabei sind Ballweg und seine Bewegung politisch kaum noch von Bedeutung. Als die Querdenker am Wochenende zur Friedensdemo nach Berlin riefen, kamen nur wenige Tausend. Diese kleine Gruppierung wird Bundeskanzler Merz kaum davon abhalten, US-Waffen zu kaufen, um sie anschließend der Ukraine zu schenken.Ein weiterer Querdenker-Prozess fand letzte Woche vor dem Landgericht Essen statt. Diesmal ging es nicht um Finanzen, sondern um „Volksverhetzung“. Angeblich habe Michael Schele bei einer Demo via Lautsprecher gegen Juden gehetzt und Schräges über den Ukraine-Krieg geäußert. Das behaupteten Denunzianten gegenüber der Polizei. Natürlich anonym und telefonisch. Es kam zum Strafbefehl und zur Verhandlung vor dem Landgericht Essen. Dort erklärte ein Polizeibeamter, dass ein Mitschnitt der berüchtigten Rede existiere. Die wurde aufgetrieben und abgespielt. Die große Überraschung: In der gesamten Rede fiel kein Wort über Juden oder den Ukraine-Krieg. Kein einziges. Kurzum: Die Anschuldigungen waren frei erfunden. Oder? Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Riley and Jen Sey team up to launch a bold new women's sports apparel line—and they're not pulling punches. From the erosion of Title IX to Nike's virtue-signaling campaigns, they take aim at the corporate playbook that's failing female athletes. The duo dives deep into the broken HR culture infecting boardrooms, why “empowerment” has become an empty buzzword, and how Simone Biles' recent comments highlight the culture war in women's sports. If you're tired of fake feminism and want real talk about what it takes to protect women's spaces, this episode is your new rally cry. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dear Ms. Maher,You don't know me, and there is no reason why you should. I am mostly a nobody. If people know me at all, they know me as a former Oscar blogger whose public support for Trump destroyed my so-called “career.”But really, I am not all that different from you. Or at least, I didn't use to be. I come from your world, more or less. Not that I was ever a tech-savvy, globtrotting millennial in charge of National Public Radio, but it would not have been unusual for me to take a picture of myself in a mask in November of 2020, wearing a Joe Biden hat.In November of 2020, however, I was already afraid of the Democrats retaking power. Things had gotten weird on the Left, Ms. Maher. Really, really weird and no one would talk about it, least of all NPR or PBS. Then again, they couldn't talk about it because they would be destroyed if they did. Everyone knew that, and everyone just went along with it, especially you.I am a creature of the Internet and a former lifelong Liberal who left the party and the movement in 2020 after things had derailed so badly that I could no longer stand to be associated with them. It was the dehumanization of half the country. It was the corruption within the Democratic Party. It was the dangerous future in store for the nation's young people.It took me a while to finally get kicked out of Woketopia for good, banished to the virtual gulag. I made a joke about “White Dudes for Harris,” suggesting finally “white power” was back in style. But one thing about the Woketopians, they have no sense of humor. None. It's been stripped away and replaced with yet more of the suffocating, repellent monoculture that's been shoved down our throats for these long ten years.They all thought I was serious, that I really meant it, that “white power” was back. Thousands saw the tweet. A close friend of mine would text me to see if I really meant it. I wanted to joke that no self-respecting “white supremacist” would be caught dead praising “White Dudes for Harris,” but I was already in too deep.That caught the attention of a reporter named Rebecca Keegan, who was a devoted NPR listener and a true believer in the causes of the Left. She called me a “MAGA darling” in the Hollywood Reporter. A major studio pulled their ads that day, and everything I built over the last 25 years as a “woman-owned” business went up in flames almost overnight.It's quite a story, Ms. Maher, but it's one people like you wouldn't even want to talk about. To you, it isn't “cancel culture,” it's “consequence culture.” Well, you might call the defunding of NPR and PBS the same thing, it's “consequence culture” as a populist movement decides to finally fight back.How it started…You were just ten years old when I got online, Ms. Maher. The year was 1994. Bill Clinton was still the president. Much like it did last year, my life had fallen apart, and I needed a reset. I found the perfect escape on the Wild, Wild Web, where I would live out the rest of the next 30 years of my life. I had a baby in 1998 and, as a single mother, built a website devoted to the Oscars in 1999.I also helped birth an entire industry, and before long, even The New York Times would have an Oscar blogger. I appeared on NPR a few times as an Oscars expert. I would attend film festivals all over the world and hobnob with the rich and famous at fancy parties.I would be invited to cover the Oscars, attending as a guest for almost ten years. I would make money from movie studios that thought my voice was influential enough to advertise on my site. I could buy a new car. I could support my daughter. I could pay my rent.I would use my website to advocate for a more diverse and inclusive Oscars by promoting women and people of color for the awards. I did this even before Barack Obama won in 2008, which coincided with the rise of Twitter, Facebook, and the iPhone. I wouldn't realize it until much later, but all of that coming together at once would allow us to build a necessary “inside” where we could eventually banish the undesirables to the “outside.”We all caught the wave at the same time. We had come out of the 90s era of therapy and psych meds, and now, we were ready to build our Shining Woketopia on the Hill. As society migrated online, it was all under our control. We would ultimately build an empire that represented nearly all of the power in America - cultural, political, educational, and institutional. But only a select few would be invited in.My daughter attended all of the progressive public schools in Los Angeles. We listened to NPR on the way to and from school. I was a PTA mom, a progressive, active Liberal who cared about the climate and racial inequality. I barely noticed around 2014 when my daughter began feeling depressed from what she was learning in school.As a white student, whose best friend was Black and whose president was Black, she was now being told to stand outside the circle and de-center herself from the students of color. She was taught that she was part of the oppressor class and was among the “colonizers.” This disease was inside of her; it was her “whiteness.”I didn't realize then just how deeply indoctrinated our public schools and universities had become. When she graduated from high school, only one of her friends wanted to transition to become a boy. Her mother, a Conservative, refused to give her puberty blockers and amputate her breasts, though she would finish the job when she turned 18 and is now living as a boy.By the time my daughter graduated from college, two of her roommates were on cross-sex hormones, changing their sex as a couple. A boy she had a crush on had now fully transitioned and is living life as a transgender woman. And no one in the media, not at NPR or PBS, ever warned them. They were indoctrinated now, too. COVID paranoia and lockdowns only served to heighten the growing anxiety and fear about saying or doing the wrong thing. Wokeness arrived first as a low-frequency hum, a reaction to the election of the first Black president. As Republicans began to obstruct his agenda, we called them “racists.” The Tea Party was racist; it had to be. The Freedom Caucus was racist; it had to be. Our president was perfect, and the only reason anyone would object to anything had to be racism.The “social justice warriors” who came of age online on sites like Tumblr ballooned into a massive army of zealots. None of us saw this coming, and by the time we did, it was too late. The protests at Evergreen College were the first indication that something had gone very wrong. Holding a professor hostage because he went against the doctrine? It should not surprise you, Ms. Maher, that NPR and PBS did not cover that either, although it would have made a compelling episode of Frontline. Had they come even remotely close to telling the truth throughout this era, maybe things would be different now.That left it up to independent voices to cover the growing scandal at Evergreen, the transgender contagion, and the obsession with race. That is how evolution left NPR and PBS in the dust. Those looking for truth and common sense had to escape the bubble. I'm guessing you never did, Ms. Maher.The army that took to the streets in 2020 was not peacefully protesting; they were demanding diners raise their fists in support of Black Lives Matter. They were demanding everyone put a Black square on Instagram, or else. My niece threatened to cut off all ties if I didn't. I told her she was in a cult.When I saw the video of Sue's 100-year-old mattress store in Kenosha burning as the city was consumed by a false narrative perpetuated by the media, that Jacob Blake was unarmed and there to break up a fight, I tried to post about it on Facebook. I was shouted down and told I cared more about property than I did about people. You agree with that, don't you, Ms. Maher? When Tom Cotton published an op-ed in the New York Times reflecting what the majority of Americans believed, that if the protests could not be controlled, we must “send in the troops.” Then I watched everyone online lose their minds over the truth - once again, the truth, always the TRUTH.By the end of it, James Bennett and Bari Weiss would be out at the New York Times. They would not be the only ones at the Times or other news outlets. Writers and editors would lose their jobs for posting headlines like “Building Matter Too.” Or because some overly fragile staffer felt unsafe and called them out for something, like racism. Hundreds and hundreds of “cancel culture” purges taught everyone the same lesson: say nothing, or you're next. A glance at your tweets around that time, Ms. Maher, suggests that you were fully on board with all of it, too - a true believer in the cause, probably like everyone else who runs a public radio station across America. So when you say they're “collateral damage,” know this: in a monoculture, everything is the same. If it isn't, you lose your job. That you did not listen to Uri Berliner's brave testimony in the Free Press, but rather demonized him for speaking out, should have been enough to force your resignation by the Board of Directors, but I'm guessing they're all on the same page as you. Your resignation letter might look something like this, posted by Representative Brandon Gill:You remember him, right? He grilled you pretty hard, and you maintained a poker face throughout, gaslighting all of us. It's not “fascism” that canceled Stephen Colbert and defunded public broadcasting. It's democracy. Your side was voted out by the guy you spent ten years trying to destroy. That alone should send the message that whatever you were doing backfired. Maybe you'll learn the lesson. Probably not. I can promise you those community radio stations in Trump states don't have any Trump supporters listening to them. And though I do notice some subtle changes in the coverage at NPR after a few casual searches, I'm afraid it's too little, too late. Those local stations are likely to be as woke and indoctrinated as NPR and PBS have become. They have to be because everything has to be in a monoculture like ours. There is no other option but for all of us to leave it behind. We don't want this indoctrination anymore - not in our schools, not in Hollywood, not in science, not in culture, and not in our news. Our American story has always been that we shook off the class system that decided our station in life at birth, that anyone could rise regardless of their status, where they were born, their skin color, or their gender. Obviously, we haven't always lived up to that ideal, but it is still our story.The Woketopians tell a different story. And it's one you believe in, Ms. Maher. Or at least you pretend to because as long as you pay obeisance to the cult, the activists will leave you alone. As I strolled through the Farmer's Market in my very white, very liberal town this morning, I was awash in hedonistic pleasure. The smell of fresh strawberries, bountiful basil, organic olive oil, a whiff of lavender carried by the wind, freshly ground coffee, and someone playing music in the distance. You would fit right in here, Ms. Maher, in a sunhat with a smile on your face, because this is where you belong, inside utopia. But I also know none of these smiling faces I pass know me. For all of their hybrid cars, the lawn signs, the pleas for “kindness,” the careful, gentle language so as not to offend all come with an implicit threat: obey our rules or we will destroy you. Milan Kundera explains what happened to the Left, as we built our Woketopian empire, in the Book of Laughter and Forgetting:To quote one of the greatest films ever made, one Hollywood will never come close to making again, No Country for Old Men. You can't stop what's coming. You can't stop what's coming. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity. Nothing will ever be the same when this is all over. The good news is that the empire's collapse will usher in a renaissance —a big bang of brand-new culture that is alive, fearless, and rooted in truth, not dogma. The best thing you can do is what I did: escape the bubble now and realize those who don't agree with you aren't your enemy. They are your fellow Americans. // This is a public episode.

The new Superman movie—directed by James Gunn—stormed into theaters and made headlines not just for its action, but for the moral questions it raises: innocence vs. aggression, humanity vs. power, and yes, immigration vs. xenophobia.

Academia finds itself at a critical juncture, navigating internal debates over the lack of intellectual diversity and too much in the thrall of prevailing orthodoxies, while simultaneously facing unprecedented external pressures from political forces intent on reshaping higher education. How can institutions uphold their mission of truth-seeking and open inquiry amidst such formidable challenges?Today, senior editor Berny Belvedere sits down with distinguished journalist Cathy Young, who recently covered the Heterodox Academy's annual conference for The Bulwark. Together, they examine how internal criticisms of “woke” excesses and progressive orthodoxy intersect with the Trump administration's aggressive assault on academic freedom and civil society. They explore the critical question of whether focusing on internal academic illiberalism inadvertently aligns with broader authoritarian aims, and what it means for a heterodox movement to truly champion intellectual diversity against threats from both the left and the right.We hope you enjoy.

This week on The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle take the gloves off as they dissect the growing dysfunction in blue-state America. From Governor Hochul's bloated New York budget and alleged Medicaid misuse to sanctuary policies fueling violent crime, the Mikes demand accountability from failed leadership. They sound off on woke welfare incentives, eroding self-defense laws, and the growing disconnect between common sense and government policy. Plus, they weigh in on California's wildfire lawsuits, infrastructure neglect, and the cultural importance of assimilation in a country that's losing its backbone.(00:04:05) Ethical Concerns and Ideological Shifts in Politics(00:09:29) Airplane Hygiene Practices and Attitudes(00:11:08) Divergent State Laws on Home Defense(00:19:17) Governor Hochul's Controversial New York Budget Allocation(00:22:31) Governor Cuomo's Executive Order 170 Impact(00:25:17) Promoting Accountability in Unemployment Benefit System(00:33:36) Balancing Cultural Roots with Assimilation Efforts(00:39:02) Negligence in California's Fire Prevention Measures(00:41:22) Safety Hazards due to Neglected Infrastructure

Writer and cultural critic Brendan O'Neill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a searing breakdown of Ireland's Israel obsession, immigration, and the ideological void left by the collapse of Catholicism.O'Neill paints a portrait of modern Ireland, where Israelophobia has become a quasi-religion—replacing the moral certainty once provided by the Church. From Dublin to rural Connemara, Palestinian flags fly, Holocaust memorials are politicised, and the Irish President himself compares Israel to the Nazis.They explore Ireland's drift from its once pro-Israel roots, the rewriting of Irish history, and the influence of postcolonial ideology and woke dogma. O'Neill warns that antisemitism is no longer just a fringe prejudice—it's now embedded in elite institutions, political discourse, and cultural life.All this—Ireland's moral inversion, anti-Israel mania, the rise of “progressive” bigotry, and the dangerous return of the oldest hatred in a new disguise…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction2:58 The Post-Catholic Era and Its Impact 7:11The Rise of Wokeness and Israelophobia 14:42 Historical Connections Between Ireland and Israel 27:42 The Impact of the Second Vatican Council 36:00 The Role of the Irish President and Government 43:08 The Case of Kneecap and Free Speech 55:44 The Political Response to Immigration in Ireland 1:07:35 The Role of Conor McGregor and Other Voices 1:11:06 The Future of Ireland and Its Political Landscape 1:14:19 A Positive Note on Ireland's Culture and Heritage1:18:41 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

What if everything you thought you knew about race, racism, and social justice was only part of the story? In this explosive episode, Coleman Hughes, (Free Press writer, podcast host of Conversations with Coleman, and author of The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America) joins Mayim and Jonathan for a deep, nuanced discussion about identity, equality, and the role of technology in shaping cultural narratives. From the rise of critical race theory and the decline of race relations post-2013 to the algorithmic outrage fueled by social media, Hughes breaks down the data behind America's polarization and makes the case for true colorblindness. Is DEI making things better or worse? Are inherited trauma and systemic racism scientifically valid concepts? Hughes tackles how identity politics gave rise to Donald Trump, the difference between neo-racism and old-school racism and why he believes we need to talk about race less, not more. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a must-watch for anyone grappling with today's culture wars.

Is this the end of woke? In this explosive conversation with Andrew Doyle, we dive deep into the signs that the woke movement is finally losing steam — from people quietly removing pronouns from their bios to Keir Starmer's increasingly authoritarian stance.

Do we get the nonfiction we deserve? LATimes book critic Bethanne Patrick wrestles with this question through five new books that both mirror and address our fractured psyche. From Melissa Fibos' choice of celibacy over toxic sexual romance to a lone wolf crossing impossible borders, all these works expose a world grappling with isolation, AI empires, and the collapse of meaningful discourse. Whether it's Thomas Chatterton Williams's critique of wokeness, Damon Young's biting anthology of new black comedy, or Karen Hao's disturbing portrait of OpenAI as our new imperial reality ( Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao), each book reflects our deeper crisis: the inability to connect authentically in our age of social isolation and anxiety. The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex - Melissa Fibos. Melissa Fibos, a writer with a history of intense romantic fixations, realizes she's addicted to the chase rather than genuine connection. She embarks on a year-long celibacy experiment, allowing masturbation and fantasies but avoiding all dating and partnered sex. It's a transformative journey of empowerment as Fibos discovers authentic pleasure in solitude, food, and simple experiences, ultimately meeting her future wife before completing the full year.Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and The Demise of Discourse - Thomas Chatterton Williams. This multiracial critic argues that America's obsession with racial categories perpetuates the very divisions we claim to fight, insisting that race is purely a social construct with no biological basis. Writing from his perspective as an American expat in France, Williams contends that woke discourse and "correct" language distract from addressing real structural problems. His book challenges readers to move beyond tired black-versus-white frameworks toward more nuanced conversations about power and identity.That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor - Edited by Damon Young This collection features sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers who skewer everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial blindness to tech company exploitation. Contributors include Mateo Askaripour (who wrote the acclaimed "Black Buck") offering biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation. The anthology demonstrates how humor serves as both weapon and shield, allowing writers to expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity in an often hostile world.Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wildness - Adam Weymouth In 2011, a wolf named Slavc traveled over 1,000 miles from Slovenia to the Italian Alps, becoming the first wolf in that region for decades and eventually establishing a pack of over 100. Weymouth follows this remarkable journey to explore how artificial barriers—from the Iron Curtain to Trump's border wall—prevent both wildlife and human refugees from reaching safety. The book uses the wolf's migration as a lens to examine what happens when the wild refuses to respect human boundaries and how life persistently seeks ways to thrive despite our attempts to control it.Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI - Karen Hao. Based on 90 interviews with current and former OpenAI executives plus dozens more from competing tech companies. Hao argues that without proper regulation and transparency, AI could evolve into a modern version of the British East India Company—a technological monopoly that serves elite interests while reshaping global power structures. Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao. Bethanne Patrick maintains a storied place in the publishing industry as a critic and as @TheBookMaven on Twitter, where she created the popular #FridayReads and regularly comments on books and literary ideas to over 200,000 followers. Her work appears frequently in the Los Angeles Times as well as in The Washington Post, NPR Books, and Literary Hub. She sits on the board of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation and has served on the board of the National Book Critics Circle. She is the host of the Missing Pages podcast.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Wokeness and anti wokeness are inventions of the political right on both sides of the Atlantic. They are confected ideas that are pushed by elite think tank, media and political groups and have been used in different ways since the era of the counter culture in the late 1960s. Their prime advocates claim that 'woke' is some manner of threat to either freedom or common sense, but the reality is far more mundane. The well resourced, organised and funded political right in the US and UK seeks wedge issues and maintains its power in doing so. The threat that the right faced throughout the 20th Century and which it united against in the late 60s onwards was the prospect of widespread social solidarity. Anti wokeism is just the latest post 2008 iteration of this strategy. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 164 What is the Woke worldview? It's called "critical constructivism." How is it adopted? The formal name for picking up "Wokeness" is adopting "critical hermeneutics." What in the world does that mean? It means viewing the world through lenses of power as described by critical theory and social constructivism. That is, it means reading Marxian analysis into all perceptions of the world and believing this makes you more "enlightened." In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through another segment of what he calls "The Book of Woke," i.e., Critical Constructivism: A Primer (https://amzn.to/3EuM2mZ ), by Joe L. Kincheloe, a (late) critical education theorist. Join him to have all these questions answered and to clarify your thinking about what "Woke" means even more. This episode is Part 2 in a developing series exploring "The Book of Woke." Find Part 1 here: https://newdiscourses.com/2025/04/the-book-of-woke-introducing-critical-constructivism/ New book!

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, cities across the country are adopting the LGBT pride flag as their official flags. Wokeness is not as dead as we might like to believe. Also, the attorney general says that the FBI is still going through Epstein material. What is taking so long? And the media mourns as an entire family of illegal immigrants face deportation. They committed no crime, except the crime of coming here illegally, which is more than enough reason to deport them. And Times Square has a new statue. It's a 12-foot-tall overweight black woman. Why does this statue exist?
