Philosophers In Space - Death’s End and Daoist Ethics Pt.2

Here we are at the end of our interminable journey! Millions of years in the blink of many hours. Seen some unbelievable stuff (4d space) and some super believable stuff (gender essentialism) and in the end we've really seen what happens when we stretch the scale of ethics to the breaking point. So, finally, we look at what this all says about Chinese philosophy, particularly what it means to be a Daoist sage. Enjoy!

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: Operation Infektion: Russia’s AIDS Conspiracy

HIV and AIDS, the syndrome the infection causes, have become the subject of numerous conspiracy theories.

Native America Calling - Tuesday, October 7, 2025 — Protecting sacred sites in urban areas

Sacred sites sometimes get lost in urban settings as cities prioritize the needs of non-Native residents and commercial interests over the historical and spiritual value for Native Americans, but tribes and Native organizations are having some success connecting with city officials to see that sacred spaces are protected and accessible. After years of restoration work, what were known as the Indian Mounds in St. Paul, Minn., have a whole new look, a new Dakota name — Wicaḣapi — and an educational cultural center. St. Louis, Mo. just solidified a transfer of property that signifies the city’s first-ever recognition of tribal sovereignty. We’ll talk about the difficult work to recognize and preserve sacred places in population centers.

Maggie Lorenz (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and Spirit Lake Dakota Nation), executive director of Waḳaŋ Típi Awaŋyaŋkapi

Native America Calling - Monday, October 6, 2025 – Tribal housing advocates work against a tide of obstacles

Someone looking to move to any of the Native American reservations in Montana will have a hard time finding a home. A three-part series by the Montana Free Press finds there is a chronic shortage of housing on Native land caused by confusing land ownership frameworks, hurdles for conventional financing, and a lack of infrastructure. The government shutdown, funding cuts, and other changes at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development could only exacerbate the struggle Native people have for finding homes. Native people typically have the worst housing needs in the country. We’ll hear about the problems facing Native homeowners and some of the innovative ways tribes are working to solve them.

GUESTS

Rudy Soto (Shoshone-Bannock), executive director for National American Indian Housing Council

Jody Perez (Salish and Kootenai), executive director of the Salish and Kootenai Housing Authority

Nora Mabie, Indigenous affairs reporter with Montana Free Press

Good Bad Billionaire - Arnold Schwarzenegger: Muscles, movies, money

How bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger went from Mr Universe to all-action cinematic superstar and billionaire investor.

BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng take us back to Schwarzenegger’s youth in post-war Austria and a childhood marked by poverty. Bodybuilding gave him a way out and he took it, going all the way to Hollywood. But he made even more money from investments than he did from acting. Schwarzenegger also had a fourth career as governor of California.

Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast that explores the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to titans of technology, the podcast unravels tales of fortune, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility, before asking the audience to decide if they are good, bad, or just billionaires.
