Untold: Power for Sale

Untold: Power for Sale

Podcast door Financial Times

In December 2022, offices at the European parliament were raided and lawmakers and their relatives were arrested. They were accused of being part of a corruption ring that was taking bribes from Qatar. Never before had there been anything like this at the parliament. But within four months, all the suspects were released, and the case is still pending. Why were members of parliament accused of taking bribes from Qatar? Is the European parliament rotten? Valentina Pop and a team of FT correspondents set out to investigate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Retreat, Ep. 5: The Insiders

Since the podcast published earlier this year, Madison’s inbox has been filled with emails. Some were from former volunteers at the Goenka network who wished to speak out. In this bonus episode of The Retreat, they pull back the curtain on why they believe some people are not being supported when they come on retreats and find themselves psychologically unraveling. Translations of Sayagyi U Ba Khin’s discourses from Daniel M Stuart and Swe Swe Mon can be found in the paper: Local Cure, Global Chant: Perfomring Theravedic Awakening in the Footsteps of Ledi Sayadaw [https://www.academia.edu/109206699/Local_Cure_Global_Chant_Performing_Theravadic_Awakening_in_the_Footsteps_of_the_Ledi_Sayadaw].  For support or more information about adverse meditation experiences, take a look at the Cheetah House [https://www.cheetahhouse.org/] website.
