Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: The Deepcut Suicides

Located in Surrey, the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut (more often known as the Deepcut Barracks) was once the headquarters of the British Army's Royal Logistic Corp. On paper, Deepcut seemed to be a successful military installation -- yet it had a dark side. Young trainees were routinely bullied and abused, with little high-level oversight. A series of controversial trainee deaths between 1995 and 2002 were all ruled suicides, and, despite complaints and calls for investigation from grieving family members, forensic experts and more, this remains the official conclusion of the UK government today. Almost a decade since the last documented death, questions remain. Does the British Army have something to hide? Tune in to learn more in this Classic episode of the Stuff They Don't Want You To Know about the Deepcut Four.

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO499: Trump Is Weaponizing Government Against Political Enemies. Nick Fish, President of American Atheists, on How to Be Prepared

In late September, shortly after declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist", Trump issued a memorandum directing the IRS to investigate tax-exempt organizations that could be "directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism" and nonprofit organizations reasonably felt concerned of being targeted. A couple of weeks later, Lydia and Thomas ran into Nick Fish, President of the American Atheists, at California Freethought Day and asked how he and the organization were holding up in light of everything.

We're pleased to have Nick on to discuss what nonprofit organizations can do to protect themselves, as well as the people who have supported their mission and the communities they serve, when it is feeling less and less paranoid that the federal government might be coming for you. How can organizations fortify themselves through governing documents and organizational structure to donor databases and retention policies when the President of the United States could very well declare your nonprofit a supporter of domestic terrorism?

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #504 – “The Choo Choo Kids” with John-Michael Bond

In this episode, Rivers and Sam are hangin' out at Disgraceland Studios with our ol' pal and the pride of Lookout Mountain, comedian John-Michael Bond! We kick this one off by downing a reality TV couple's very coconutty energy drink. Then we talk about some of the most morally dubious reality TV shows of all time. After that, we sample a bit of the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary's erotic poetry. Plus, our big dumb president is making his Hollywood dreams come true in reuniting the whole gang from the film Rush Hour. John-Michael takes us on a tour of his hometown of Chattanooga, TN, and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Give us a listen, folks!

Native America Calling - Monday, December 1, 2025 – Advocates push back against new obstacles to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives momentum

Despite promises by elected leaders to address the disproportionate number of Native Americans and Alaska Natives who are murdered or go missing, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) advocates say there is little progress and even steps backward for victims and their families. Advocates say the Trump administration’s removal of the Not One More report from the Department of Justice’s website is a setback for public awareness and the work to fight the ongoing problem. Advocates also complained that Alaska officials are not adequately acknowledging the number of unsolved cases. Since that complaint, state officials added 50 names to the unsolved cases list. Numerous data sources point to the disproportionate rate that Native people are victims of violence and their cases go unresolved.

GUESTS

Charlene Aqpik Apok (Iñupiaq), executive director of Data for Indigenous Justice

Karrisa Newkirk (Caddo), president and founder of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women-Chahta

LaRenda Morgan (Cheyenne and Arapaho), cousin of Ida Beard and Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) advocate

Cheryl Horn (Nakota and Aaniiih), Fort Belknap MMIP advocate
