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:   Tova Noel’s Account of the Morning Jeffrey Epstein Died (Part 20-22) (5/23/26)","slug":"mega-edition-tova-noel-s-account-of-the-morning-jeffrey-epstein-died-part-20-22-5-23-26","published_at":"2026-05-23T12:15:05+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856/mega-edition-tova-noel-s-account-of-the-morning-jeffrey-epstein-died-part-20-22-5-23-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mega-edition-tova-noel-s-account-of-the-morning-jeffrey-epstein-died-part-20-22-5-23-26--72115831","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72115831/megatovaoig20n21n22.mp3","summary":"During the Office of Inspector General investigation into the death of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019, correctional officer Tova Noel gave an interview describing how the morning unfolded when Epstein was discovered in his cell.
