    Podcast Summary

    • Religious and Political Shifts: Pope Francis Blesses Same-Sex Couples and Texas Governor Signs Bill to Arrest MigrantsPope Francis grants Catholic priests permission to bless same-sex couples, marking a significant milestone for LGBTQ+ community in Catholic Church. Texas Governor signs bill to allow state police to arrest migrants suspected of entering Texas illegally, escalating border security efforts and sparking legal battles with the Biden administration.

      Significant shifts are occurring in both religious and political spheres. At the religious front, Pope Francis has granted Catholic priests the permission to bless same-sex couples, marking a milestone for the LGBTQ+ community within the Catholic Church's 1.3 billion followers. Meanwhile, in the political realm, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill allowing state police to arrest migrants suspected of entering Texas illegally. This move comes as a response to perceived federal inaction on immigration and is a continuation of Abbott's efforts to secure Texas' borders, leading to ongoing legal battles with the Biden administration.

    • Significant developments on both sides of the AtlanticAn earthquake in China, illegal border crossing attempt in US, natural disaster in Iceland, and domestic abuse allegations against a Marvel actor unfolded globally

      There were significant developments on both sides of the Atlantic last night. In the United States, a legal battle over border enforcement and immigration could escalate, as a group of migrants attempted to cross the border illegally. Meanwhile, natural disasters struck in other parts of the world. In China, an earthquake killed over a hundred people and injured hundreds more. In Iceland, a volcano erupted, potentially causing damage and exciting tourists with its dramatic display. Elsewhere, Marvel actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of domestic abuse charges, leading to his departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These events serve as a reminder of the complex and diverse challenges facing the world today.

"The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop" from The Washington Post just won a Peabody award and is a compelling investigation seven-part series into how the U.S. fits into a 40-year-old Caribbean mystery.


    Grenada’s Black revolutionary leader, Maurice Bishop, was executed in a coup in 1983, along with seven others. The whereabouts of their remains are unknown. “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop” delves into the revolutionary history of Grenada, why the missing remains still matter and the role the U.S. government played in shaping the fate of the island nation.
