Anti-Semitism is on the rise, but have you ever thought about how it affects real people? In this eye-opening conversation Rabbi Pesach Efune shares his experiences as a visibly Jewish man in today's world. Despite the negativity surrounding him, Rabbi Efune has mostly encountered positivity. He argues that while the far-right anti-Semitism is visible, the subtler forms from the far-left can be more insidious and dangerous because they often mask their prejudice as anti-Zionism.

Dr. Himansha Singh is the co-founder Craste, a company that is empowering farmers whilst also addressing environmental issues and removing toxic chemicals from everyday materials. In India, after harvesting crops like wheat and rice, farmers face a dilemma: they have leftover stubble that they often burn due to the cost of disposal—damaging the environment and contributing to pollution. But what if this waste could be a valuable resource?

Visit the Craste website for more information and watch Himansha and her brother being interviewed on the BBC.

Denny LaVe is running for the United States Senate in Idaho. He is no ordinary candidate, however, unless you consider a Marine turned monk who transitioned into a successful businessman ordinary. Denny argues - convincingly - that his unique background will be an asset in Washington, as he is committed to serving the needs of everyday Americans. His campaign is marked by a focus on issues that matter to his constituents, and Denny critiques the current approach to foreign interventions, arguing that they often result in negative consequences for American citizens.

Find more information about Denny's campaign on his website and make sure to read his memoir Blue Collar Blessed.

Kalle Uusitalo is the most successful General Manager in the history of the BUIHA International All Stars. After some reminiscing of their very own Heated Rivalry, Kalle and Danny dive into the contentious topic of fighting in hockey. Kalle actually has a degree in this stuff, so he knows that it isn’t just about throwing punches - it’s a complex dance of risk and protection without which skilled players could easily become targets. We finish with some discussion about the state of the game in Britain, Kalle being a shining example of what hockey culture in the UK can be at its best.
