In this episode, we hear about the disastrous conclusion of the Second Crusade, which stands in complete contrast to the spectacular success of the First Crusade. It also marked a turning point for both the Crusaders and the Byzantines, as their mutual hostility grew amidst the rising tide of Islamic power.
Please take a look at my website nickholmesauthor.com where you can download a free copy of The Byzantine World War, my book that describes the origins of the First Crusade.
For a second week in a row: the Chinese-owned social media app, TikTok, faces a possible ban in the U.S., starting midnight on Sunday.
President Trump says the app poses a national security risk without an agreement with American companies, but the Chinese government may not be on board with the deal currently in-the-works.
Today, you’ll hear from two people: a TikTok influencer who relies on the app to make a living, as well as a cybersecurity expert who helps analyze what, if anything, a possible deal with American companies could change for data security.

In the interview, actor Jeff Daniels and writer Billy Ray are here to discuss the new two-night mini-series The Comey Rule on Showtime. The mini-series focuses on the story James Comey in the fall of 2016, and even though both Daniels and Ray had certain perceptions of how poorly James Comey handled it all, working on this project really revealed the humanity and struggle of this public servant. Mike talks with them about the creative process, adapting such recent history, and their new views on the man. The Comey Rule premieres on Showtime on Sunday, September 27.
In the spiel, Daniel Cameron’s wife is white.
