From the day to day news that dominates the headlines to more complex geopolitical issues that effect all of our lives, we will be exploring them all. It's time to stop settling for what is force fed to us and it's time to look beyond the horizon.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T18:20:08.851669+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856"},"episode":{"title":"Mega Edition:  Jeffrey Epstein's Time At MCC And The Quiet Retirement Of The Warden (7/3/26)","slug":"mega-edition-jeffrey-epstein-s-time-at-mcc-and-the-quiet-retirement-of-the-warden-7-3-26","published_at":"2026-07-03T09:45:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856/mega-edition-jeffrey-epstein-s-time-at-mcc-and-the-quiet-retirement-of-the-warden-7-3-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mega-edition-jeffrey-epstein-s-time-at-mcc-and-the-quiet-retirement-of-the-warden-7-3-26--72792538","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72792538/megaepsteinstaymccwardenretires.mp3","summary":"Jeffrey Epstein’s time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan was marked by extraordinary irregularities that immediately set his detention apart from that of ordinary federal inmates. After his July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein was placed in the Special Housing Unit, officially for his own protection, but the conditions of that confinement were riddled with contradictions.
