On this episode of Heard Tell, we focus on one of the most strategically important and geopolitically challenging areas of the world: The Black Sea Region. Joining us from Romania is Antonia-Laura Pup, policy fellow with Young Voices Europe and a Fulbright Student at Georgetown focusing on China’s increasing influence on the economy and security of the Black Sea. Antonia talks us through understanding a region that is more than just the dominating Russia-Ukraine war headlines. Turkey’s role, 5G and tech revolution, media influence, economic changes, and cultural shifts that we all need to know about when this important region of the world hits the headlines.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
