Erik Clapp of the mighty Cinema Force joins me to discuss John Frankenheimer's 1986 sleaze & suspense classic 52 Pick-Up. Adapted from Elmore Leonard's book by John Frankenheimer and Leonard himself, 52 Pick-Up is a tension & twist filled thriller that always keeps you guessing. This film also gives us one of the most iconic villains in cinema history, brought to life by the legendary John Glover. Also starring Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret, Clarence Williams III, Vanity & Robert Trebor, 52 Pick-Up was produced by Menahem Golan & Yoram Globus for Cannon Films - and strongly disliked by a pearl-clutching Gene Siskel. What more could a film-fan ask for?This is Part 1 of 3 - Part 2 features another taping with Erik, Part 3 is my chat with the legendary John Glover. Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & YouTubeHead over to the Craig & Friends Patreon to get early access to all of these shows, exclusive content and more.Check out Erik's video essay on 52 Pick-Up and subscribe to his stunning Cinema Force channel on YouTube

Tonight, the signal begins with a rainy road, a frightened son, and a father's desperate attempt to bury the truth. Then we step Out of This World into a nightmare of stage lights, ventriloquism, and a dummy that may know more than any wooden thing should. After that comes one of radio's most famous terror pieces, Sorry, Wrong Number, where a woman trapped by a telephone hears the machinery of murder moving closer. And finally, The Whistler brings us Jealousy, a poisonous tale of fear, obsession, suspicion, and the terrible ways love curdles into death.

Torches, gossip, and perfectly feathered '90s hair collide in I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU (1998), and The Blind Rage Podcast revels in every deliciously overcooked beat of this prime time witch panic spectacular. A new girl rolls into town only to discover that the locals are still nursing a decades old grudge involving curses, tragedy, and a name they would rather keep buried. What follows is a swirl of locker side accusations, breathless confrontations, and adults behaving with the calm restraint of a daytime talk show audience. Adapted from Lois Duncan's GALLOWS HILL, the film serves up moral hysteria with the earnest intensity only a '90s network thriller can provide. The performances are big, the stakes are bigger, and the sense of impending doom arrives wrapped in dramatic music cues and urgent close ups. It is witchcraft filtered through wholesome television sincerity, where every rumor lands like thunder and every glare deserves its own commercial break.

Mist's story tends to stop people in their tracks: abandoned at five, given weeks to live in her late 20s, and then discovering songwriting in her 30s with no formal training - a turning point that changed the course of her life and shaped her belief that even the smallest moments of connection can carry real meaning. Within just a few years, she wrote over 100 songs and became the first native Chinese artist to chart on Billboard's Pop/AC chart. Her new book reflects that journey. Adapted from her Top 10 U.S. podcast, it unfolds through short, accessible chapters exploring themes like loneliness, fear, gratitude, and connection, each paired with music and ending with what she calls a "15-second action" - a simple, immediate step to shift perspective, reconnect, and approach daily life with greater intention. The result is something that sits at the intersection of memoir, mental health, and practical philosophy, blending storytelling, music, and research into a format that feels grounded and personal rather than prescriptive. find out more about Miist www.MiistTheSinger.com www.Instagram.com/miistthesinger About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Sports Illustrated photographer.

Discover your spiritual roots—and the God who still forms His people through grace and struggle.In this kickoff to a two‑part series on spiritual origins, we dive into the story of Jacob—one of Scripture's most complicated, surprising, and ultimately transformed figures. From wrestling with God to receiving a brand‑new name, Jacob's journey shows what it means to be chosen, shaped, and called by the Lord. Adapted from a live teaching, this episode explores how tracing Israel's story helps us understand our own identity as God's people today.*Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade — the independent who won a culturally conservative city by running as a true centrist who refuses to be boxed into either party — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that quality-of-life governance still beats partisanship when voters are actually given the chance to choose it. Mobolade, who adapted his governing principles from Abraham Lincoln, argues that there's a genuine and growing appetite for leadership that isn't red or blue — but warns that working for unity is incredibly hard and tiring work that few politicians want to do anymore. He walks through Colorado Springs' fight to retain Space Command after Trump and Biden moved the headquarters back and forth between Colorado Springs and Huntsville, Alabama, and explains why he ultimately chose not to sue over the relocation (the decision was within the president's purview, and burning that bridge would have cost the city more than it gained). Mobolade describes hiring his own mayoral opponent Wayne Williams after the campaign — a move he calls part of his "radical collaboration" approach — and argues that mayors don't have the luxury of partisan posturing because their job is fundamentally about producing deliverables for actual residents who want safer streets, better services, and a higher quality of life. The conversation moves into the practical challenges facing every American mayor in 2026, with data centers emerging as the political pain point in nearly every community across the country. Mobolade describes calling an emergency meeting to develop a data center strategy for Colorado Springs, walks through the balanced-but-responsible-growth framework his team has settled on, and explains the tradeoffs honestly: residents are worried about quality-of-life impacts, but the tax revenue from data centers is exactly what cities need to fund essential services. Larger data centers in his city are now forced to pay impact fees to offset their costs, some are being placed on military bases for security purposes, and Mobolade is candid with residents that they cannot have the services they demand without the revenue base to pay for them. The conversation turns to Colorado Springs' housing shortage — the city has been named one of the best places for young people, but only if young people can actually afford to live there — and Mobolade discusses his work with HUD to expand supply, his belief that the country needs genuine innovation in finding cheaper ways to build, and his frustration with a Colorado political landscape that he says no longer has room for center-left and center-right voices the way it used to. His closing argument is the one that ties the whole episode together: the country needs more independent leadership, not because partisanship is bad in theory, but because the current version of it is incapable of delivering the basics that voters actually care about.

Chuck Todd opens with the latest from the Iran war's increasingly costly stalemate, arguing Trump doesn't actually want a deal — he wants the ability to declare an accomplishment without ever looking like he capitulated, the same trick he ran with NAFTA and the JCPOA where he ripped up agreements only to sign nearly identical ones under new names. June, Chuck warns, is when the energy shock will start showing up in domestic prices, every day Hormuz stays closed exponentially increases the damage, consumers may begin behaving irrationally and hoarding, and a single bad natural disaster on top of all this could trigger a genuine crisis. But the heart of the episode is Chuck’s meditation on a single phrase: character is destiny in politics. It's not whether character flaws exist — everyone has them — but when those flaws become public and start affecting the people you were elected to serve. Trump's character problems were on display long before he ever became president, but his defenders now include the exact same Rubios and Grahams who used to blast him as morally unfit. And the most uncomfortable part of Chuck argument for the Democratic base: the same progressives who mocked Trump supporters for excusing his behavior are now using essentially identical defenses for Maine's Graham Platner — who has been accused of sexting in 2023, behavior that isn't youthful indiscretion and isn't going away. Chuck argues political parties used to function as imperfect but real vetting organizations, that once voters become emotionally invested in a candidate they will defend literally anything, that running for office sometimes becomes a substitute for therapy rather than a vehicle for service, and that democracy itself depends on elected officials being able to separate their personal motivations from their public obligations — something Biden failed at when his family obligations led to those preemptive pardons. He notes the Bidens were genuinely beloved before the election but Biden's ambition did real harm to his party, his family, and his own legacy. Todd points to Pope Leo as a potential moral leader Americans seem desperate for at exactly the moment when neither party seems remotely interested in finding the best possible actors. He observes that Platner vs. Collins is starting to feel like a rerun of Trump vs. Clinton in 2016 — two candidates voters genuinely don't want to choose between — and closes with quick hits on Jill Biden's forthcoming memoir, the California gubernatorial primary (where Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer could finish in the top two), and the increasingly strange Los Angeles mayoral race in which Karen Bass appears to be deliberately ignoring Spencer Pratt because she would much rather face him in a general election than the genuinely formidable Nithya Raman. Then, Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade — the independent who won a culturally conservative city by running as a true centrist who refuses to be boxed into either party — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that quality-of-life governance still beats partisanship when voters are actually given the chance to choose it. Mobolade, who adapted his governing principles from Abraham Lincoln, argues that there's a genuine and growing appetite for leadership that isn't red or blue — but warns that working for unity is incredibly hard and tiring work that few politicians want to do anymore. He walks through Colorado Springs' fight to retain Space Command after Trump and Biden moved the headquarters back and forth between Colorado Springs and Huntsville, Alabama, and explains why he ultimately chose not to sue over the relocation (the decision was within the president's purview, and burning that bridge would have cost the city more than it gained). Mobolade describes hiring his own mayoral opponent Wayne Williams after the campaign — a move he calls part of his "radical collaboration" approach — and argues that mayors don't have the luxury of partisan posturing because their job is fundamentally about producing deliverables for actual residents who want safer streets, better services, and a higher quality of life. The conversation moves into the practical challenges facing every American mayor in 2026, with data centers emerging as the political pain point in nearly every community across the country. Mobolade describes calling an emergency meeting to develop a data center strategy for Colorado Springs, walks through the balanced-but-responsible-growth framework his team has settled on, and explains the tradeoffs honestly: residents are worried about quality-of-life impacts, but the tax revenue from data centers is exactly what cities need to fund essential services. Larger data centers in his city are now forced to pay impact fees to offset their costs, some are being placed on military bases for security purposes, and Mobolade is candid with residents that they cannot have the services they demand without the revenue base to pay for them. The conversation turns to Colorado Springs' housing shortage — the city has been named one of the best places for young people, but only if young people can actually afford to live there — and Mobolade discusses his work with HUD to expand supply, his belief that the country needs genuine innovation in finding cheaper ways to build, and his frustration with a Colorado political landscape that he says no longer has room for center-left and center-right voices the way it used to. His closing argument is the one that ties the whole episode together: the country needs more independent leadership, not because partisanship is bad in theory, but because the current version of it is incapable of delivering the basics that voters actually care about. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit two stories that occurred on the same day… the Tiananmen square massacre, and Poland’s first post-soviet elections.

In Old and in Middle English, the practice was to join the time with the preposition, using a hyphen "to-day," and "to-morrow," and "to-night," for instance. As the sense of their use as single notions developed, the two elements were brought together in written language (i.e., to night, to-night, and tonight). Nineteenth-century dictionaries opted for the hyphen in all three words. The OED shows hyphenated examples throughout the 19th century and into the early 20th. Latest examples are of to-day (1912), to-night (1908), and to-morrow (1927, with a possible further example as late as 1959). (Adapted from this article).

This episode of Ron's Amazing Stories presents a chilling double feature from the legendary science fiction radio series X Minus One. Tonight we explore two very different visions of imprisonment — one through unbearable loneliness and the other through the terrifying loss of privacy itself. In "Knock," adapted from the famous two-sentence story by Frederick Brown, the last surviving man on Earth faces alien conquerors and the crushing weight of solitude. Then in Theodore Sturgeon's unsettling "Mr. Costello, Hero," a charismatic manipulator transforms an entire colony into a place where being alone is considered a crime. Two stories. Two futures. One haunting question: What happens when humanity loses the freedom to simply be human? In this Episode Knock (5/22/1955) – Adapted from the Frederick Brown story. After aliens conquer Earth, the last surviving man struggles against impossible odds to avenge humanity and reclaim his world. Mr. Costello, Hero (7/3/1956) – Adapted from the Theodore Sturgeon story. A colony discovers the horrifying consequences of a society where solitude and privacy have become punishable offenses. A look back at the history and legacy of X Minus OneThoughts on loneliness, surveillance, freedom, and why these stories still resonate today Join Ron for a journey into the strange futures imagined by radio's golden age — where the stars are beautiful, the future is uncertain, and freedom is never guaranteed.

We're exploring pairing tea and chocolate today with Debbie Raab, co-owner and co-founder of the unique and delightful Tea for All in Lawrence, New Jersey. One of the things that makes Tea for All unique is its location inside the Trenton Farmers Market, the longest-running indoor farm market in New Jersey. Before delving into the pairings, Debbie shares with us a bit of the history of Tea For All and the tea journey she and her husband Mike Raab (Tea For All's other co-owner and co-founder) have taken, as we discuss Debbie's approach to teaching about tea and to creating and experimenting with pairings. Debbie chats with us about her view of the importance of trial and error in exploring and experiencing tea and tea-chocolate pairings and her preferences for choosing chocolates for pairing , and then begins the pairings themselves. We taste six tea and chocolate pairings in all. During the pairings, we talk about the differences between pairings that contrast, pairings that complement and pairings that enhance the flavors of the tea and the chocolate, different methods for tasting the teas and the chocolates, and how tea and chocolate pairings can lead to new discoveries about the flavors and textures of our teas. And Debbie also tells us about some of Tea For All's ongoing and periodic events, classes and tea practice sessions. For easy reference for trying these or similar pairings at home, the time marks for the teas and types of chocolates (by cacao percentage) we paired are: 11:05:   58% cacao paired with a gyokuro kukicha (Tea For All's Kukicha Supreme), followed by the same chocolate paired with Doke Black Fusion, a black tea from Bihar State, India. 21:21:   60% cacao paired with Ganesha Green, a Nepali green tea from the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate, followed by the same chocolate paired with Chota Tingrai Assam black tea from Assam, India. 30:50:   71% cacao paired with a black tea from the town of Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii (Tea For All's Hawaii Volcano Premium Black). 36:25:   72% cacao paired with a Bao Zhong from Taiwan. During the pairings we took some time between tasting the chocolates and tasting the teas to allow Debbie to brew the tea and to allow the flavors of the chocolate to settle in the mouth, and sometimes to take a palate cleanser (Debbie used small tidbits of celery). You won't hear these gaps in the podcast, but you may want to take these pauses if you're doing the pairings at home.  Tea for All is located in the Trenton Farmers Market, 960 Spruce Street, Lawrence NJ. Hours, event information and Tea For All's online store are on its website, tea-for-all.com.

Episode Summary Jamie Barker, Public Information Officer for Boulder Fire Rescue, joins O.P. Almaraz on the All Things Wildfire podcast for an in-depth conversation on wildfire preparedness, community resilience, evacuation planning, and the evolving reality of living in wildfire-prone regions. Drawing from Boulder's experience following the devastating Marshall Fire, Jamie shares how wildfire resilience goes far beyond individual homes — requiring coordination between homeowners, neighbors, local government, and emergency responders. The conversation explores defensible space misconceptions, emotional barriers to preparedness, community-wide mitigation efforts, evacuation drills, insurance concerns, and the concept of "fire adapted communities." This episode offers practical insights for homeowners, HOAs, and communities looking to better prepare for the growing wildfire threat across the Western United States. Show Notes In This Episode: Why wildfire preparedness is a shared community responsibility The biggest misconceptions homeowners have about defensible space Lessons learned from the Marshall Fire Why "it's not if, it's when" has become the new wildfire reality The emotional and financial barriers preventing mitigation work How Boulder Fire Rescue approaches wildfire communication Community evacuation drills and creating muscle memory The relationship between insurance, preparedness, and resilience Why fear can be transformed into empowerment through preparation What "fire adapted communities" actually mean

Celebrate 50 years of horror history as Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976) on this week's episode of The Commentary Booth. Few horror films have left a cultural mark quite like Carrie. Adapted from Stephen King's first published novel and released just two years later, the film transformed a chilling coming-of-age story into one of cinema's most unforgettable nightmares. From the infamous prom bloodbath to Sissy Spacek's haunting performance as Carrie White, this episode unpacks why the film still resonates half a century later.Jamie and Corrina dive into the film's lasting legacy as both a horror classic and a brutally honest reflection of bullying, isolation, religious extremism, and teenage trauma. They discuss how the film holds up 50 years on, the surprisingly bold filmmaking choices of the 1970s, and the moments that still feel unsettlingly relevant in 2026.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Carrie (1976) remains one of the greatest Stephen King adaptations ever made - The film's disturbing portrayal of bullying, isolation, and religious abuse - Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie's Oscar-nominated performances - The legacy of the iconic prom scene and shocking ending - How Carrie compares to later remakes and sequels - 1970s filmmaking choices that would never happen todayThe pair also break down the performances from Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, and a young John Travolta, while exploring behind-the-scenes trivia, practical effects mishaps, Stephen King adaptation history, and whether any remake has ever come close to matching the original.If you've ever wondered why Carrie remains one of the most iconic horror films of all time, this episode is for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

The Reckless Reno GangJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 92 takes place after the Civil War, when the Reno Brothers explored a new way to rob trains that inspired the James and Younger gangs. But even the wild and wily Reno brothers were no match for Allen Pinkerton and his detectives. Although it takes place in Indiana, this story has the trappings of a tale of the Old West: Daring robberies, fugitives from justice, clever arrests, and a final showdown in the New Albany jail.

The podcast continues its spring season theater coverage this week! The hotly anticipated play from writer Lindsey Ferrentino, The Fear of 13, opened last week on Broadway at the James Earl Jones Theatre. Adapted from a documentary of the same name, the play is a semi-fictionalized depiction of the real-life events of Nick Yarris, a man who was wrongfully accused and convicted of rape and murder, and spent 22 years imprisoned, before finally being exonerated by DNA evidence. Two seasoned actors, Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson, bring this story to life, with Brody in the role of Yarris and Thompson playing a prison volunteer with whom he falls in love. For both actors, this was their Broadway debut, and they sat down with Senior Editor of Features and News, Marley Marius, to talk about it. They talk about the theater rituals and also the nerves that go into performing this work. “I've had a lot of trepidation if I'm going to be honest,” Brody said of telling Yarris' story, “just because of the enormity of the task.” They spoke about how this story is not only the story of Yarris, but an unfortunately relatable tale for so many folks in America who have family and loved ones in the carceral system. The pair reflected on the immense obligation of telling a real and alive person's story. Yarris, now a free man, has been highly instrumental in the rehearsal process, attending table reads and performances alike. He also joined the pair on the red carpet for opening night. When it comes to this kind of work “whether they're in the room or not, they are in the room,” Thompson explained, “So then when they're literally in the room, it's a completely different thing.” Crucial to Yarris' experience in prison was his love of reading, a love so strong he referred to it as an addiction to books. Thompson, in an homage to her character Jacki who is a PhD candidate in poetry, has created a little library of books in her dressing room. There, she keeps several volumes of Charles Simic poetry and has also been known to read Mary Oliver and Nabokov's Lolita (a problematic fav of hers).  When they aren't in rehearsal or performances, Brody and Thompson have pretty distinct approaches to how they spend their time. Brody, a homebody and true multi-hyphenate, busies himself making music—or “beats” as Thompson fondly refers to them—and cooking sweet potato stews. Thompson, on the other hand, is looking forward to having a bit more free time now to see other shows on this season and find the little speakeasies tucked in and around the theater district. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com    In this episode, Joel and Antonia answer a listener question about how to tell the difference between your natural personality type and behaviors you learned through life experience, stress, or trauma. They explain why surface traits and type labels can be misleading, then walk through the cognitive functions and their car model to show how certainty, responsibility, and insecurity reveal a person's real preferences. The conversation focuses especially on the INFJ pattern, offering a practical way to sort out whether traits like empathy, caretaking, or analysis come from core wiring or adaptation.
