Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady and Cyrus "Scooter" Anderson explore the importance of being present during travel and the value of family adventures, anchored by Anderson's mantra to "never, ever give up." Anderson outlined his ambitious project to ride all-dirt routes between the highest points of every continent, an idea born after he summited Aconcagua with makeshift equipment. He also shared technical details on modifying KTM and Husaberg motorcycles for long-haul expeditions, including custom multi-tank fuel systems and increased oil capacity. The pair discussed the financial realities of global travel, covering Anderson's professional background in consulting and banking, as well as the economic trade-offs and low-spending habits that funded his journeys.New to Overland Journal and want to grab a subscription?

Stop Leaving Money on the Table: How to Sell Cruises and Adventures by Disney to Your Theme Park Clients Are your Disney clients taking cruises, visiting Europe, or checking off bucket-list adventures… with someone else? If you're a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations, this episode is for you. One of the biggest opportunities for growth in your travel business isn't finding more clients—it's serving your existing clients better. In this episode, we're talking about how to naturally transition your Disney and theme park clients into other types of vacations, including ocean cruises, river cruises, Adventures by Disney, guided tours, and international travel. You'll learn how to identify buying signals, ask better questions, position yourself as a full-service travel advisor, and create content that helps clients see you as their go-to expert for all of their future travel dreams. Whether you're looking to increase sales, boost client retention, or simply stop leaving money on the table, this episode will help you uncover opportunities that may already be sitting in your client database. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✨ Why Disney clients are often your best future cruise clients ✨ The natural progression many travelers take from Disney vacations to cruises and international travel ✨ How Adventures by Disney can be the perfect bridge between theme parks and guided travel ✨ Questions to ask that uncover future travel opportunities ✨ The biggest mistake Disney-focused travel advisors make ✨ How to create content that expands your clients' travel horizons ✨ My favorite strategy for introducing cruises and other vacation types without feeling salesy ✨ How to become your client's travel advisor for life Key Takeaway Your goal isn't to be known as "the Disney travel advisor." Your goal is to become the travel advisor your clients trust for every stage of their travel journey—from Disney vacations to cruises, Europe, river cruises, guided tours, and beyond.

In this episode of The Brainy Ballerina Podcast, I'm joined by professional dancer (and one of my former students!) Kendall Lademann for a full-circle conversation on the unexpected twists and turns that have shaped her dance career.We dive into Kendall's transition from student to professional at Mareck Dance, including what it was like dancing alongside former teachers and how that environment helped her grow as both an artist and an adult.We also talk about how Kendall moved forward with her dance career after Mareck Dance unexpectedly folded, finding new opportunities at Lexington Ballet.Kendall is a true testament to the fact that dance careers never travel in a straight line. She shares so much thoughtful advice for aspiring professional dancers about taking risks, handling rejection, and treating people with kindness in the small world of dance.Key “Pointes” in this Episode: How the teachers, choreographers and directors Kendall has worked with have grown her into the artist she is today How the pandemic unexpectedly launched her professional dance career Going from dancing as a student in “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” to dancing the title role Navigating the sudden closure of Mareck Dance and finding a new path Moving away from home and starting fresh with Lexington Ballet Unique performance experiences including dancing in a distillery, performing in a music video, and starring as Charlie Chaplin in “A Charlie Chaplin Christmas” with Lexington Ballet Kendall's passion for adaptive dance through Danceability and why teaching became one of the most meaningful parts of her careerConnect with KendallINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/kendall_lademannLinks & Resources:SHOP MSeam Apparel: https://mseamapparel.com/ (use code BRAINY25 at checkout for 25% off all items)SHOP ORZA: www.orzabrand.com (use code BRAINYBALLERINA for 10% off)Let's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

The Solar Alliance doctors on Ceres Central worried about Alibi Jones' chewed-up lower leg being rebuilt by the same Alien Substance that made up the ancient, alien Ghost Ship. Alibi didn't feel his alien-rebuilt lower leg was a threat, though he didn't tell anyone about the mental link he now had with the aliens, The Rhoday. But the Ghost Ship has reappeared, and it seems to have taken over the mind and body of Alibi Jones! We'll see if Alibi can break free in Chapter Thirty of Alibi Jones and The Hornet's Nest!

Aside from Art the Clown, what has Damian Leone contributed to horror? We also come dangerously close to gatekeeping while we discuss what extreme horror is. Plus a discussion on the 28 Years franchise somehow leads to a talk about The Bride. We spend a good amount of time talking about Find Your Friends. About 98% of it is spent on the film's writing. It does not take long to realize this is not a good thing. There have been plenty of movies that have led to a discussion about the writing. There has been nothing like this one. The movie clearly deals with sensitive subjects. But it does it in a way that downplays the circumstances, the victim, and its heady themes. It is so bad that we have to constantly reiterate how we are not shitty men. (Who knows? Maybe we are. But that's a different matter.) How bad was the writing for Find Your Friends? So much so that we were constantly filing in story beats to make it make sense to us. And even then, we were still frustrated by what we had seen. This movie had all the ingredients to tell a powerful story about how women are treated. It instead was content to erratically work towards its admittedly wild finale.

This week, we are celebrating Pride by hitting the highway with a double showing of drag queen road movies: Stephan Elliott's The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) and Beeban Kidron's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995). These films show that a road movie is about much more than getting from point A to point B. We look at how Tick's journey in Priscilla allows him to shed the fear of being himself in front of his estranged son, anchoring the comedy with beautiful, independent vulnerability. On the flip side, we watch how the trio in To Wong Foo confront and dismantle their own preconceived notions about small-town communities as they embed themselves in middle America. It is a double feature about identity, community, and self-discovery. Whether it is navigating the harsh Australian outback or transforming a forgotten town, both films suggest that the ultimate destination on a drag journey is finding the confidence within yourself to be yourself completely.

Isobel's daughter Elizabeth comes on to discuss her hike of the Camino Trail. This is a very runnable trail and a popular destination for multi day running. Hear how you could easily organise this adventure for yourself!

It's off to Sherwood Forest with two of the stars of The Adventures of Robin Hood, the 1938 lavish Technicolor production that pits Errol Flynn's Robin against Basil Rathbone's vile Sir Guy. It's one of the best (maybe the best) film adaptation of the classic legend, and it still thrills audiences today. We'll hear Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian) in "Voyage Through Darkness" (originally aired on CBS on September 7, 1944) and Alan Hale, Sr. (Little John) in "The Leading Citizen of Pratt County" (originally aired on CBS on May 30, 1946). Plus, Edmond O'Brien stars in a radio retelling of Robin Hood from Family Theatre (originally aired on Mutual on July 27, 1949). Check out this TCM special on the making of The Adventures of Robin Hood!

I recently chatted with author Darek Isaacs about his new novel, The Legendary Adventures of Doc Copper and the Mad Dash of Fire Face, published by Skyhorse Publishing. Drawing from his childhood summers spent living in Ohio, Isaacs infuses the story with high-octane dirt bike racing and dangerous adrenaline. He even shared the real-life inspiration behind the book's wild horse scenes—his own teenage "midnight runs" riding bareback on a cattle farm. The novel appeals to a broad spectrum of readers, from ages 12 to 75, by intentionally channeling the natural, rambunctious energy of youth into positive pursuits rather than squashing it. Written at a fast clip with section breaks instead of traditional chapters, the book cuts the downtime to keep the action constantly moving. It's a quick, gripping read that draws from his own travels through Mexico and Texas.

Summer travel is in full swing, and this week we're breaking down the biggest trends we're seeing in 2026: cruises, Europe, and multi-generational family trips. John, Dayna, and Jess talk through their own summer travel plans, from Alaska cruises and Hotel Xcaret to Universal Orlando, Epic Universe, Disney weekends, river cruising, and sports travel. But the bigger story is what clients are booking right now — and this summer, cruising is everywhere. Families are sailing to Alaska, Greece, Japan, the Caribbean, and beyond, with European cruises and bucket-list itineraries becoming major standouts. We also dig into the rise of multi-gen travel, as more families are choosing to bring grandparents, siblings, cousins, and extended family together for big memory-making vacations instead of traditional reunions at home. From Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean to Celebrity, river cruises, Adventures by Disney, Beaches Turks & Caicos, national parks, Universal, and Europe, this episode is packed with summer travel inspiration and the trends shaping family vacations right now.

Most people don't realize how much they're leaving behind when they try to cheat the system—until it's too late. In tonight's gripping story, Philip Marlowe uncovers how a seemingly simple lost watch reveals a web of lies, murder, and blackmail that's been decades in the making.When a wealthy widower asks Marlowe to find his wife's priceless platinum watch, what seems like a straightforward case quickly spirals into a deadly puzzle. From the seedy back alleys of Camino Beach to the polished halls of Beverly Hills, Marlowe uncovers that nothing is what it appears—especially not a fifty-year-old face hiding behind a forged identity. You'll discover how a blackmailed murder victim, a crooked pawn shop, and a dangerous conman named Chip Menashee all connect in a story about secrets that refuse to stay buried.We break down: the subtle clues that reveal a man's true past, how a seemingly innocent piece of jewelry can be a smoking gun, and why hiding the truth often costs more than the crime itself. Philip Marlowe's sharp instincts show that sometimes, the biggest risk is ignoring what a small detail might be hiding. This episode is essential listening if you want to understand how transparent lies are rarely fast enough to hide the truth—and why confronting it takes courage.If you're a crime fiction fan, a lover of layered mysteries, or someone who appreciates the power of a well-placed detail, this episode will sharpen your detective instincts and challenge your assumptions about truth, justice, and memory. Prepare to see that in the game of deception, the smallest thing—like a missing watch—can unravel the biggest secrets.Tonight, Marlowe reminds us: when it comes to uncovering the truth, only the brave can truly see what's lurking in plain sight.

What if saving wildlife starts with school lunches, backpacks, and bush walks? In Part 2 of the Wild Tomorrow series, community leader Aphiwe Notshaya joins Dr. Diane to share how a community partnership approach to conservation in rural South Africa is feeding preschoolers, supporting orphaned and vulnerable children, opening doors to university, and building real climate resilience—one partnership at a time.SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Diane continues the Wild Tomorrow series with community conservation manager Aphiwe Notshaya. Aphiwe describes her path from aspiring accountant to environmental manager and how Wild Tomorrow lets her merge people-centered work with habitat protection. Aphiwe shares how the Early Childhood Development (ECD) program supports preschools with teacher training, toys, and monthly food so young children receive two meals a day and learn to love school, and how a partner community center provides uniforms, stationery, backpacks, and academic support for orphaned and vulnerable children. Aphiwe highlights a local mentor helping graduates apply for university, learnerships, and internships in a rural area with limited digital access, and explains how environmental education days bring children into the reserve for bush walks, outdoor journals, and close-up encounters with insects, birds, and habitats, not just the “big five.” She talks about choosing strategic partnerships with traditional leaders, women's climate‑smart agriculture projects, and Zulu cultural practices tied to healthy rivers, all while avoiding conservation models that fence people out. Looking ahead, Aphiwe shares her dream of deeper climate resilience work, seed banks, and disaster centers—and why her love of snakes surprises people. What keeps her hopeful is simple -- communities that are still willing to listen, learn, and change.Chapters[00:01] Welcome & Meet Aphiwe: Part 2 of the Wild Tomorrow series and the woman leading community partnerships.[01:11] Discovering Conservation as a Career: From “future accountant” to environmental management and Wild Tomorrow.[04:34] Community-Centered Conservation: Why Wild Tomorrow centers local needs alongside wildlife.[04:58] Preschools, Food, and Early Childhood Development: Supporting ECD centers with teacher training, resources, and monthly meals.[08:10] Orphaned and Vulnerable Children: Uniforms, stationery, backpacks, and extra classes for kids who need it most.[09:50] Helping Youth Reach University and Jobs: Backing a local mentor who guides applications for university, learnerships, and internships.[12:16] Game Drives, Bush Walks, and Outdoor Journals: Bringing local kids into the reserve to notice insects, birds, and habitats.[15:35] Partnerships with Chiefs, Culture, and Climate-Smart Farmers: Working with traditional leaders, Zulu maidens, and women's agriculture groups.[20:40] Breaking Down Fences: Making the reserve feel like “our future” for neighboring communities.[23:55] Aphiwe's Practical Wish List: Fire extinguishers, first-aid kits, and basic school supplies with big impact.[25:36] Dreaming of Climate Resilience and Disaster Centers: Teaching about wetlands, floods, and planning for a changing climate.[28:49] Favorite Animal: The Dramatic Rinkhals: Why a snake that plays dead has her heart.[29:51] What Brings Aphiwe Hope: Communities that listen, adapt, and choose sustainable paths.Links:Episode 189 – Part 1 of the Wild Tomorrow series with co-founders John Seward and Wendy HapgoodWild Tomorrow Community Programs and opportunities to supportFollow Aphiwe and Wild Tomorrow on InstagramFollow Aphiwe and Wild Tomorrow on LinkedInSupport the showShare this episodeIf this conversation sparked wonder, gave you a helpful strategy, or offered a needed reminder of hope, please share it with a friend or colleague.Subscribe • Download • Review • Tell a friendStay updated with our latest episodes and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, and the Adventures in Learning website.

While we sleep, the creatures of the nocturnal world work their magic. In her book, "Night Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms, Moon Gardens, and Other Marvels of the Dark," New York Times bestselling author Leigh Ann Henion examines how forest logging, light pollution, and other human activities harm the diversity and habitats of animals and insects that depend on the darkness to navigate, hunt, and communicate. Henion will be a guest of the Western New York Land Conservancy later this week, but first, she joins guest host Julie Philipp on "Connections" to discuss what humans can do to protect these creatures of the night — and how that protection can, in turn, preserve the health of the environment. Our guests: Leigh Ann Henion, author of "Night Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms, Moon Gardens, and Other Marvels of the Dark" and "Phenomenal: A Hesitant Adventurer's Search for Wonder in the Natural World" Marisa Riggi, executive director of the Western New York Land Conservancy Wayne Gall, Ph.D., retired entomologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

This week we take a look at two novels that were on last year's reading list. Why are we revisiting them? Because we only read a couple of chapters of each one, and that wasn't enough!First up, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I shared last year that this was one I only had bad memories of from high school, but rediscovering it as an adult was a real treat. In particular, we talk about:The centrality of Huck's relationship with Jim, and how Huck grows and changesTwain's remarkable use of vernacularThe vivid locations and their relationship to Twain's earlier writingFinally, we get into the details of the ending—it's fairly controversial. Did Twain rush the ending or did he mean it as a warning on the nature of change?Then we move on to Gabriel Garcia-Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a beautiful book, not for everyone but certainly a great book. We discuss:Generational novels, and how the structure cyclical patterns and repeated names creates a dreamlike mood for this novelHow the magical realism here emerges as a natural part of the environment and not through any apparent supernatural activityVarious tensions, like isolation and connection, or ephemerality and stability, that are at work both in the family and the town of Macondo.Whether the town of Macondo is itself the main character of the novel.Finally, we end with a couple of things I've learned lately that are improving my reading. First, I've started to recognize that writing a little about each book helps me to resolve what I think about that book. Second, great (and even good) books tend to illuminate each other, making your world bigger, while less worthy books tend to run together. Another argument for great books!LINKThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rCONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/Like what you heard?
