Our guest in this episode of the Leadership Under Fire Optimizing Human Performance Podcast is Adam Casey. Born and raised in St. Louis, MIssouri, Adam attended the University of Missouri (aka Mizzou) where he was a walk-on for the Tigers football team from 2004 - 2008. After graduating with a Bachelor's in Biology, Adam was commissioned as a naval officer in 2012 with the intentions of becoming a Navy SEAL Officer. In 2013, Adam laterally transferred to the Marine Corps where he served as a rifle Platoon Commander with 2nd Battalion, 6thMARINES. Soon after assuming command of his platoon, Adam was diagnosed with advanced Stage-IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and underwent a grueling six months of chemotherapy. Upon remission, Adam returned to school at the University of Colorado at Boulder to earn another undergraduate degree, this time in Computer Science. Now a full-time software engineer for Jane Technologies, Adam continues to find purpose in running a non-profit and hosting his own podcast.
For an experimental change in format, this episode is given over to a long conversation with Fabian Burkhardt of IOS-Regensburg, who works on Russian elites, institutions and authoritarian politics. He gives his sense on the state and loyalties of the elites, on the chances of any kind of palace coups, and the degree to which we are all flailing around in the fog of (info)war.As for relevant publications of Fabian's on the topic of the podcast: "Institutionalising Authoritarian Presidencies: Polymorphous Power and Russia's Presidential Administration" , "Foolproofing Putinism", "The Fog of War and Power Dynamics in Russia's Elite: Defections and Purges, or Simply Wishful Thinking?"Useful sources for listeners some of which Fabian used in his prep or mentioned in podcast:Adam Casey, "Putin Has Coup-Proofed His Regime"Timothy Frye "Why Regime Change in Russia Might Not Be a Good Idea"Vladimir Milov "Ugroza perevorota v Rossii.

"I think the dogs can feel when you're happy, a lot, and what energy you give them back." Welcome to episode Twenty-Seven of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and my guest today is Ronny Ullrich, President of the Colorado Mountain Mushers. This German-American learned to appreciate the outdoors while growing up in Germany from his grandparents, who, at a young age, helped nurture a love for all things wild. Emigrating to the U.S. in 2002, he hoped to continue his active lifestyle and settled on moving to Colorado where he found the sport of mushing. Once that took hold of him, he eventually became the president of the Colorado Mountain Musher, based in Western Colorado. The Goals of the club are to foster novice and family racing along with other working dog associated winter sports by organizing a fun racing circuit of professional quality, encouragement of new mushers, and to promote and foster the well-being of sled dogs Talking with Ronny reminded me of how amazing simply being outdoors can be and the beautiful power that can come from spending hours and hours by yourself in nature. This is a great intro into the sport of mushing and has a lot of how-to knowledge for anyone out there who's interested. And hopefully, our talk encourages you to check out an event if you find yourself in Colorado sometime.

"Through a lot of my life, I've always gone against the grain. Whether that's through skydiving or ultra-running or ditching a very comfortable federal career." Welcome to episode Twenty-Six of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and my guest today is Bobby Gill, Director of Development and Communications for the Savory Institute. But before he assumed that role, this expertly trained Biological Resources Engineer was a lead scientific reviewer at the FDA close to where he grew up in Beltsville, Maryland. That is until he and a couple of friends ran through the streets of D.C. pantless and helped found Cupid's Undie Run, a national non-profit that has raised millions of dollars for neurofibromatosis research since its inception in 2010. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he also was at one point a fairly prolific ultra-running resume and even had his skydiving license with over 800 jumps logged? Since making the leap into the regenerative space at the Savory Institute, he now explores the intersectionality of personal and planetary health, and how to distill the complexity of these issues to new audiences. During our conversation, you'll hear us reference a recent TEDx talk that Bobby gave about his work at the Savory Institute back in 2020 and I really encourage you to give that a listen because the message about holistic land management and its positive environmental impact is a storyline that doesn't get enough attention. Bobby's clearly got a diverse background and his ability to wear so many hats is something I genuinely admire. This was such an authentically fun interview and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Welcome to episode Twenty-Five of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and joining me for this one is Jeff Garmire, record-holding thru-hiker, backcountry enthusiast, and newly-minted trail-runner. Jeff's introduction to thru-hiking came during his college years when he up and decided to traverse the Pacific Crest Trail and soon after fell in love with everything the experience offered. Since that inaugural hike, Jeff's gone on to complete an astounding list of dream adventures that are too lengthy to list here but some of the highlights include the Calendar Year Triple Crown, which is hiking the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail all in one year, climb all the 14ers in Colorado, and very recently finishing the Cocodona 250 in 95 hours and 28 minutes. That last part is how I first heard about Jeff after watching Dylan Harris' amazing documentary about Cocodona's inauguration that I'll link to in the show notes and can't recommend enough. Once I started to go on a bit of a deep-dive into Jeff's background, I knew I had to have him on the show. And I'm so glad it worked out because Jeff was such a fun and inspiring guest who you can tell has a litany of stories from all the stuff he's done that would take two lifetimes to tell. There are so many personal topics we could've spent the whole episode talking about but one of the biggest takeaways I got was the unmistakable power in embracing the moment you're in, both the good and bad. And how as cliché as we all know it is, the hardest part of almost any endurance challenge is the mental preparation you put into it.

“Some of these experiences, when you're in them, it's not all like happy, right? And so, you have to have courage to face down those things within you.” Welcome everyone to episode Twenty-Four of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and today my guest is a sincerely extraordinary person and friend, Tylor Belshe. Fellow Marine Veteran and all-around tremendous human being, Tylor is without a doubt one of the most interesting people I've met in recent memory. We start things off by talking about Tylor's adventurous spirit growing up in a Mormon household and how the mission he went on as part of that faith ignited a sense of service towards others. Then we get into his time serving in the Marine Corps as a reservist at the outset of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s and the introspection he went through during his deployments overseas. After his time in uniform, Tylor like so many other vets who have experienced combat and trauma benefited from the truly remarkable effects of plant-based medicines to help process those events. He describes how it impacted him in a profound way and why he eventually helped lead the campaign here in Denver to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms. Tylor then rounds out our talk detailing his next adventure: moving to Hawaii with his fiancé and close family members to begin homesteading on 20+ acres of lush jungle property and create a space for them to truly call their own. This episode is coming out a few days after Veteran's Day and I don't think any other guest would have been as captivating and humbling as Tylor. He's someone I've felt like I've clicked with since the moment I met him and I couldn't be happier to be his friend. Do me a favor, make sure to follow his Instagram that's documenting his move to Hawaii. I've already had the chance to see what the property looks like and I am just in awe of what he and his family are doing.

“That is the crux of being a human being, that we see each other in a way that we recognize were some folks have and some folks have not and how can I get the things they don't have to them to give them an opportunity.” Welcome everyone to episode Twenty-Three of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and today my guest is Dr. Keith Cradle, Director of Youth/Juvenile Programs for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office and founder of the non-profit “Camping With Cradle” among many other titles. Dr. Cradle grew up in White Plains, NY, and kicks things off by talking about his childhood and how the environment he grew up in helped shape him into the highly motivated person he is today. A major part of that evolution involved him moving to North Carolina where he studied at Johnson C. Smith University and eventually earned both his Master's Degree and Ph.D. After that, he decided to stay in the Tar Heel state where he got involved with the public sector and became a prominent voice in the community. From that professional point in his career and based on his own exploration of the natural beauty in the state he now calls home, he started the non-profit, “Camping With Cradle”. As an outdoor mentoring program, Camping With Cradle is a means for young adults to become more familiar with the outdoors, the program is designed as a group mentoring model with each outing allowing a group of approximately 6-8 youth to experience an outdoor trip they otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to be a part of. Their dedication to helping underserved youth discover the great outdoors and develop life skills that attach themselves to social mobility is originally why I wanted to have Dr. Cradle on the show and is just a really great organization that I hope you'll check out. Warning, this one had some technical glitches that we had to work through so the audio is a little rough at times, but Dr. Cradle made for an absolutely amazing and fiery guest. His energy is almost palpable and trust me, it's going to get you pumped.

“I started to like running more than I liked being at the bar, and it's really one or the other with that.” Welcome everyone to episode Twenty-Two of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and today my guest is Robbie Balenger, a professional ultra-runner whose accomplishments such as a run across America and breaking the world record for running the most number of loops around Central Park in New York City are almost too impressive to list. Robbie explains how he evolved into the phenomenal runner he is today from an unlikely childhood where he was often a mischievous kid who played football and counter to his current athletic demands, was an offensive lineman. He also talks about how the first real intro to running came later in life when he was living in Austin, TX, and his girlfriend invited him on a run. That moment became a catalyst for him to leave behind his hard-partying lifestyle and take his health and fitness much more seriously. Most notably was transitioning to a plant-based diet over the years out of personal and environmental concerns. We then get into his most recent feat, something called the ‘Colorado Crush', an adventure that included the Leadville Trail Marathon, traversing The Colorado Trail (485 miles in 11.5 days), the Leadville Silver Rush 50-miler, summiting all 58 peaks over 14K feet in Colorado, and The Leadville Trail 100-miler in just a measly 63 days. Robbie details how the motivation to do the Colorado Crush was born out of a necessity to reconnect with his active personality during a time when the COVID pandemic was forcing him and his job to become more sedentary. This one's filled with some great advice about how to handle a race or big physical event once it's over and the importance of finding a way to always be active. Our conversation does get into the mental health side of ultra-running a little bit more than some other episodes, but I didn't want to shy away from that topic because I sincerely think it's important those discussions are out in the public view. Robbie was someone I've been hoping to have on the show for a while and am so thankful he was able to open up the way he did. Yet another irrevocably ‘good dude' who couldn't have been more gracious and friendly.

“Libraries are all about sharing … well that's our DNA. That's what we do is share so we're going to share with you too.” Welcome everyone to the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and my guest today is Michelle Jeske, City Librarian for the Denver Public Library systems. If you thought libraries are just places for introverts and bookish people, you couldn't be more wrong. Did you know that some libraries offer small business mentorship or connecting people to their family's history through genealogical records? In our talk, we get into how Michelle evolved from a young book-worm into someone who is at the head of all 26 library locations here in Denver that see more than 4.4 million annual visitors. We also discuss some of the ways libraries in Denver are pivoting with an ever-increasing digital age. From offering programs that teach people how to write computer code to hosting maker spaces with digital recording studios that people can use to start their own podcast! Like everything else in life, some of the challenges public libraries face today is funding. Michelle explains all the ways you can help out your public library and take advantage of some of the many, many benefits your local library probably offers. At the end of the day, this is just a great conversation with someone who couldn't have been more fun to have on the show. And if there's anything you take away from this, it's how important your support is for your local library, so do me a favor and go check out a few books from you local library wherever you are.

“I just love the beauty and diversity of our group because we've attracted people from all walks of life and different political spectrums” Welcome everyone to the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and my guests on today's special episode are Anthony and Tara Clary, founders of the #WEOFFTHECOUCH run group. Growing up in Virginia, the couple originally met through a local church after the tragic murder of Anthony's brother. But from that tragedy came a beautiful and loving relationship that persists today. Now although the duo has become quite the popular run couple, their origins in the sport are uniquely separate. Tara was a high-school track-and-field athlete that used running as an outlet to have something positive in her life. Anthony, a former college football player, found his way into running after a startling doctor's visit revealed he was prediabetic. And that scare is what propelled them to start a community-focused run group whose mantra is simply, #WEOFFTHECOUCH. At times, running can be a very isolated sport but what's so beautiful about the group they've started is the message that all are welcome. With over 80 people sometimes coming to a single meeting, WEOFFTHECOUCH has become very well known for being a place where people from all different backgrounds and different levels of fitness can meet. During our talk, we get into the positive impact the run group has had in their community and how it's changing the stereotypes some people have about race and running. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Anthony and Tara are some of the best people and the energy they brought to our conversation was simply amazing. I can't thank them enough for coming on the show to share their story and for talking about some difficult topics. This one is full of laughs though and something I genuinely think you'll enjoy!

“For those of us that are sincere about bringing about diversity and inclusion, we have to show something different.” Welcome to episode 18 of the It Matters To Me Podcast! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and today we're going all-in with a conversation about race and minority participation in hunting with my guest, Eric Morris. Raised in Talladega, Alabama, Eric was steeped in the outdoors and hunting from an early age. Teaching himself to hunt through word of mouth and even magazine articles, his introduction to the sport didn't follow the typical path of generational knowledge being passed down between father and son. As he got older and gained more experience, he turned that expertise into the N.onT.ypical Outdoorsman TV show to help recruit others, especially minorities, into the sport. Now about to enter its third season, Eric and I talk about what it was like to get that program off the ground and why it is so important to show that not every hunter is going to fit the cliché description most of us usually think of when we hear the term “hunter” or “outdoorsman”. Eric is also a 3-time combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and we talk a little bit about how he uses the lessons he learned from that part of his life both on a hunt and growing his brand. Eric's dedication to increasing racial diversity in hunting is something I really admire, and I very much identify with his approach to directly addressing the issue. Now, this podcast is by no means my excuse for not doing more on topics like racial equity but it is something I can control and I'm so thankful Eric was able to come on the show. He's yet another great dude with an inspiring mission that is absolutely worth sharing.

Welcome to another episode of the It Matters To Me Podcast. My name's Adam Casey and have you ever wondered what it would take to summit Mt. Everest without oxygen or row across the Atlantic ocean or even ski down an Iraqi mountainside while not letting a global war on terror stop you? Well, my guest today has done those things, among so much more, and his name's Laval St. Germain. Growing up in Canada, Laval talks about how the books he read as a child instilled in him this deep longing to go out and see the world for himself. And how that insatiable appetite for adventure initially pushed him to get into the cockpit as a Canadian bush pilot as a teenager that eventually evolved into his current job today as a 737 commercial airline pilot. From his first adventure scuba diving in some self-described “sketchy” towns to summiting the highest peak on all 7 of the earth's 7 continents as well as the highest peaks of more than 18 nations, Laval and I talk about the importance of continually being outside our comfort zones in a technology-driven modern world determined to make our lives as easy as possible. Laval also opens up about the tragic loss of his son, Richard, in a canoeing accident 7 years ago, and how that event still affects him and his family to this day but how he's turned those emotions into a catalyst for action. I could easily sit here and just continue to name a seemingly never-ending list of all the things Laval has done that have rightfully earned him an international reputation as the unequivocal modern-day explorer. And one of the many things I enjoyed about talking with Laval is his sincere humility and belief that we all have it in ourselves to create our own life-changing adventures. And while Laval has found success as a motivational speaker, this isn't a conversation about all you need to do is “believe in yourself” or “just say yes” or anything like that. It's a heartfelt acknowledgment that these things are in fact tough but because of it, they are all that more memorable. I can't thank him enough for coming on the show and being such an amazing guest so please enjoy my interview with Laval St. Germain Additional Links Laval St. Germain Website: https://www.lavalstgermain.com/motivational-speaker-adventurer.html Laval St. Germain on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lavalstgermain/?hl=en Outside Magazine Feature: https://www.outsideonline.com/2401108/laval-st-germain-everest-arctic It Matters To Me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamcasey/ It Matters To Me Website: https://itmatterstomepodcast.com/

This week's guest is the incredible ultra runner Coree Woltering!! Coree recently set the FKT on the 1,200 mile Ice Age Trail through Wisconsin, completing it in 21 days, 13 hours, and 35 minutes. He also is featured on the new Amazon Series "World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji" as a member of Team Onyx, the first all-African American team in expedition racing. In this episode we chat all about these two huge events!! Coree shares his perspective as an elite ultra runner taking on his first adventure race and the challenges faced along the way. The race looks incredibly difficult and Team Onyx is one of the inspiring groups featured throughout the show. He also goes into the ups and downs of the Ice Age Trail FKT- a super secret trick to handle trails with crazy amount of ticks, his go-tos when fueling with gas station food, how to breakdown gigantic goals, why you should always listen to Pete Kostelnick's advice on ankle recovery, and how accepting pain and staying level headed through adversity helped him achieve his goal. This episode was an absolute blast to record!! Coree is awesome and is a huge inspiration! I also wanted to thank Adam Casey for rejoining the show to co-host this week!!

The city of Toronto is currently working with a private company to develop a “smart city”—a neighbourhood that incorporates the collection of big data into its urban design. Since its inception, the project has inspired debate about how data generated by the public/private partnerships ought to be used. In this podcast, we consider the implications of some of these questions, and ask who should own the data and intellectual property generated from projects that rely on both public and private investment. We will hear from Teresa Scassa, Canada Research Chair in information, law and policy at the University of Ottawa, and Natalie Raffoul, an IP lawyer called to the bar in Ontario with a practice that focuses on procurement, licensing, and other IP issues. This podcast is produced by Andrea Salguero and Adam Casey, editors for volume 64 of the McGill Law Journal.
This week the Ghouls are joined by Adam Casey as we dive into the ink and paper world of comic books that were turned into feature films. 30 Days of Night and The Crow are discussed in this episode and we learn that Adam finds the good in everything, Marissa wants to skateboard again, and Jacki is still living her best 90's life.
Part one of Causing a Comeau-tion explored an attempt to break down interprovincial trade barriers in Canada through the use of litigation. In part two, we consider the consequences of the case. The Supreme Court ruled that the existing barriers to the sale of alcohol across provincial borders do not violate the constitution. While the case might initially appear to be a straightforward defeat for the litigants, the case could lead to other types of victories that prove it to be an example of successful legal mobilization. We get back in touch with Howard Anglin and Professor Christopher Manfredi, who share their thoughts on the decision and what its ultimate outcomes could be. This podcast is by Adam Casey, Podcast Editor for volume 64 of the McGill Law Journal.
“Free the Beer!” It's become a rallying cry across Canada, largely thanks to a legal challenge brought before the Supreme Court in 2017 concerning the transfer of alcohol across provincial borders. In R v Comeau, the Court considered the constitutionality of interprovincial trade barriers on the sale of alcohol following an appeal brought by Gerard Comeau, a man who was fined for transporting alcohol from Quebec to New Brunswick. In this episode, we examine the struggle to break down interprovincial trade barriers, as well as the institutional and political pressures that make litigation the best (and perhaps the only) way to do it. McGill political science professor Christopher Manfredi tells us about legal mobilization, the process of using litigation to push for a policy goal. We also speak with Howard Anglin, Executive Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, who explains why the CCF decided to support Mr. Comeau's case and what they hoped to achieve. This podcast was created and produced by Adam Casey and Emma Noradounkian, editors for volume 63 of the McGill Law Journal.
his week we are welcoming Adam Casey back on the show. If you have yet to listen to the first two episodes with Adam, I highly suggests going back and checking those out. He's a fascinating dude, a great story teller, and has been incredibly open about his life experiences. Adam continues from where his story left off- discovering that he had a brutal form of cancer- stage four lymphoma and progressing from the diagnosis, to the treatment, to the aftermath, and eventually to this insane horse race he decided to take on through the wilderness of Mongolia. The Mongol Derby...the longest and most difficult horse race in the entire world. 1,000km through the wild Mongolian Steppe retracing the Horse Messenger System put into place by Ghengis Khan. Look up the event. Riding semi-wild horses across an untamed wilderness for miles and miles and miles. Forgot to mention that when he signed up, Adam didn't know anything about riding horses. That's the kind of person he is. The never back down from a challenge, step up to the plate kind of dude. Stoic, Driven, Self Reflective. Just an incredible human being. As per usual, Adam and I recorded this episode after a beautiful 10 mile trail run around Eldorado Canyon State Park and I'm extremely grateful for being able to listen to and share his story. Hope you guys are as inspired as I am after listening to him.

This week we send out a huge welcome back to our friend Adam Casey. In this episode Adam continues his story and explains the next period of his life as a U.S. Marine officer which leads into the absolute brutal day that unexpectedly knocked him onto a whole different path. We also discuss why he reads the "Tao of Pooh" once every 6 months. The book explains the essentials of Taoism using examples from Winnie the Pooh. Based off of Adam's suggestion I am currently in the middle of it and it is absolutely wonderful. This conversation has brought up some really important questions in my life and I hope it helps you consider some of them too. How can you use the concept of being the "Uncarved Block" to navigate your life? How do you respond when life sends you the ultimate curveball? What drives/motivates you and are you letting that completely define you? How do you view obstacles- do they stop you or are they necessary at getting you to where you are today? When you are at your absolute lowest moment, how do you find the strength to barrel forward? Thanks guys for checking out the podcast! I'm gonna be in Canada for a week so I probably won't be able to respond to any emails until I'm back. Expect another podcast early next week though!

Ridiculously excited this week as we welcome Adam Casey to the podcast! A month ago in Nederland, Colorado I spent a few hours running with Adam. We were cruising along, chatting and instantly I knew I wanted him to share his story on the podcast. Because, quite frankly, Adam's lived a life. His journey to where he is now, a computer programming major at University of Colorado, has been unconventional. He's been a former Mizzou football player, a U.S. marine, a biologist, a cancer survivor, and, most recently, a sky diving badass. He also started the nonprofit I Do It For Her which supports under-privledged children in the Saint Louis area and individuals with lofty life goals who believe that "the best weapon in a world deterred by the risk of failure are individuals who are willing to accept the challenge to better themselves through adversity." On this episode Adam shares stories from his time attempting BUD/S training ....or to us common folk Navy SEAL training. Commonly known as the absolute hardest training cycle in the world, Adam paints a picture of day to day life, describes a few of the extreme mental, physical and emotional obstacles a trainee faces, and explains why he NEEDED to attempt it (even while concealing a debilitating illness). This one gets real and gritty. Life is all about the journey, the peaks and valleys, and, unfortunately, Adam has been forced into exploring the deepest depths of the valleys. As an eternal optimist, I can only believe that his new chapter of life is in Colorado to give him the opportunity to start adventuring up some peaks! Thanks again to Adam for chatting with me and for everyone who listens week in and week out. Super grateful for you!

La Mama Theatre is an ideal place to host the Australian premiere production of Lars Noren’s Courage to Kill. This tense two-hander, sometimes three-hander, from Sweden’s most celebrated playwright definitely works best in an intimate venue. It is one of those many plays that take place entirely in a domestic setting, in this case inside a young man’s apartment that he is forced to share with his father. While in some plays this makes the home seem like a bigger, grander place for having been the site of so much drama, Noren, and indeed set designer Charlotte Lane make it feel as though the walls are closing in on its inhabitants, largely because those walls are covered in sticky-taped newspaper clippings that keep being added to. As the audience takes their seats, director Richard Murphet places the son, Eric (Luke Mulquiney) at his desk and has him sort through the clippings while smoking a cigarette, in the manner of the classic film noir detective. He might have the jaded look, the unhealthy lifestyle and the rotating roster of young female lovers, but he’s a self-confessed coward, and a waiter, though a very attentive one apparently. However, none of this hospitality is afforded to his new housemate. His usually absent father, Ernst (Stephen House) has fallen on hard times. With nowhere else to go, Eric takes him in, more as his prisoner than anything else. While Ernst tries to make up for lost time, Eric tries to heal himself by punishing his father for what those years of parental neglect have done to him. Much of the play is a dance between pointing fingers and self-blame, between hurling insults and self-loathing, as the pair of them are sickened by the weakness they see in each other, and even more so when they see that same weakness in themselves. After the interval, Eric’s new exotic young lover, Radka (Tamara Natt), comes to have dinner with them, an event that Ernst has long been looking forward to. With fresh eyes, she witnesses how harsh Eric is with his father, and how manipulative Ernst is with his son. She hears how quickly calm words turn into snarls, which then turn into barking shouts, which then turn into a silence that is finally broken by more calm but wounded words. Their similarities are what strikes Radka the most. In the heat of the moment, Eric struggles to muster the courage, or the nerve, to do the right thing, while Ernst often can’t, or won’t, control his urge to do the wrong thing. Eric couldn’t save a woman he saw being violated because he hesitated before delivering that punch to the head to the man who was attacking her. On the other hand, Ernst, as Radka finds out, would have more likely been the violator. Either way, the same damage is done. She ultimately realises that she is not safe with either of the two sides of this terrible coin. All three cast members do an outstanding job. House is perfect as the ageing failure of a parent who invites both pity and scorn. Natt gives an entertainingly exaggerated performance as the siren-like voice of reason who drives the true selves of these two men right out of their self-righteous exteriors. Malquiney seems also a few steps removed from realism in his portrayal of the unhinged son tormented by the need to make his father proud, even one as flawed and wretched as Ernst is. However, despite the efforts of these fine actors, and the ominous sound design by Adam Casey, this production is inbuilt with a highly melodramatic ending that runs more on poetic logic than character believability, unlike the rest of the play, which is largely realistic. Perhaps it is a fault in Marita Lindholm Gochman’s otherwise solid translation of the original Swedish text, but this play’s abrupt conclusion just doesn’t feel earned. However, if Noren hadn’t forcibly accelerated the proceedings at the end there this production may well have outstayed its welcome. Courage to Kill finishes more or less after it’s said everything it has to say, which is a hell of a lot, and all of it is richly engrossing.

Adam Casey, Student Pastor at CrossRoads Baptist Church, preached Sunday, May 24, 2015.
Another year and another fantastic FLUKE. Adam, Shawn, and Devin journeyed to mythical Athens, GA for their annual visit to FLUKE. This go around Adam picked up interviews with Robert Newsome, Rich Tommaso, Patrick Dean, Andy Runton, Wes Brooks, and Adam Casey. Who's that I hear on the wrap up portion? That would be returning guest, Josh Dean.
