For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

Our Ancestors Were Messy

Dominican Sisters Open Mic – Openlight Media
Join host Sr. Miriam, O.P. as she sits down with her Sisters to discuss all things Dominican.
One thing is obvious when you spend time with the Sisters of Mary – if you put a couple of Dominicans in a room together, you don’t need to worry about finding something to talk about. In the words of St. Thomas Aquinas (whose feast day is today), we enjoy “sharing the fruits of our contemplation with others.”
It’s time to share those fruits with the podcast world.
Each Wednesday, you’ll get to listen in on conversations between the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, with occasional guests from outside the community. We’ll be talking “all things Dominican,” and if you know anything about Dominicans, you know just how wide that leaves the door open.
How did a zombie movie lead to Sr. Elizabeth John joining the convent? What did St. Albert the Great teach us about the Sacraments? What does Sr. Mary Bethany recommend for building a life of prayer, and how can Sr. Peter Thomas help you integrate the Liturgy of the Hours into your daily routine?
The topics are endless. The contemplation is fruitful. The conversation is here – Dominican Sisters Open Mic.
The H-Files with Dr. Heather Lynn (formerly The Midnight Academy)
For those who sense the cracks in the official story, who know the past is stranger than we have been told, The H-Files offers a place to think clearly about how power actually works and what modern life has obscured. Same host, same archive, new name. This was The Midnight Academy.
Hosted by Dr. Heather Lynn, author, historian, and renegade archaeologist tracing the occult architecture beneath the maxodern world. The show investigates hidden history, esoteric symbolism, religion, and the long broker-class structures that run from the temple economies of ancient Sumer through to the institutions of the present, alongside interviews with researchers, scientists, and writers willing to follow the evidence past polite consensus.
Because in an age of chaos, remembering our history is a revolutionary act.
Hear Women
Throughout history, women have often been relegated to the sidelines, subjugated by patriarchy, or prevented from exercising their God-given gifts at all. But women foster human flourishing in an array of spaces—as authors, pastors, and scholars. As artists, gardeners, and rock climbers. As friends, parents, and conversation partners. And much, much more. This half of the church has a unique voice that the whole church needs to hear. In Hear Women, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, Tara Beth Leach, and Nijay Gupta engage in conversations that highlight the many ways that women are having profound impact in the church, their communities, and the world. Join us as we listen to women for the good of the church.
THE CHRIST – An Immersive Audio Drama
