From the Yangtze Valley, to Neolithic Mesopotamia, to the orchards of Oxford, Roger Deakin sought to understand the origins of the domesticated apple. His essay East of Eden—an excerpted chapter from his book Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees—recounts his journey into the wild fruit forests that grow on the mountainsides of Kazakhstan. After Roger’s death in 2006, Robert MacFarlane planted a sapling grown from an apple seed that Roger carried home. As ‘Roger’s tree’ now fruits in his yard, Robert collects the pips to distribute to others, envisioning a “worldwide wildwood of memory-trees.” This essay is narrated by Robert Macfarlane.

Hero Husband Mark Winger and Nasty Nikolai Radev...In August 1995, Mark Winger shot a man named Roger Harrington twice in the head. Mark said he'd heard a noise and come upstairs to find Roger beating his beloved wife Donnah Winger to death with a hammer. After Roger's death, investigators soon determined that Mark had acted in self-defence. Sounds like a pretty straight forward case, doesn't it?Bulgarian born Nikolai “The Russian” Radev was a nasty piece of work whose hobbies included extortion, blackmail and armed robbery. He had a well deserved reputation for viciousness and brutality in the Melbourne Underbelly. Fortunately for the rest of the world this awful awful rapist, murderer and career criminal would die the way he lived.Become a Bloody Murder Patron (for as little as $1 per month, which you cancel at anytime) and have access to dozens of Patron only episodes (including our whole first season!) with new patron only content added every month!Go to https://www.patreon.com/bloodymurderAlso Levels $5 and over go into our monthly merchandise draws and get FREE stickers and hand-made Barney Badges!See our website! bloodymurderpodcast.com for all our social media links, contact details, a gallery, fabulous merchandise (check out our new Bloody Murder SHOES! and now STICKERS and BACKPACKS and DUFFEL BAGS!!) and much much more.Wanna buy us a drink?

Fantastic Fridays-#419 February 23rd The Strong Within Daily Affirmation Podcast I Keep My Eyes Straight Ahead “The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.” ~Roger Bannister In the mid 1900s, there was a story that began circulating in the running community. The world record for running a mile at the time was 4:01.4 seconds—a record that stood for nine years. And so a mammoth story was born that it was impossible for any human to run a mile under 4 minutes. One reason records weren't being broken was from World War II interrupting people training or focusing on sports.   A man named Roger Bannister began his running career in 1946 at age 17, and even on a light running schedule compared to other runners, in 1948 he was considered for joining the Olympic team, which he turned down because he felt he was not qualified to compete at that level yet. And after watching the 1948 Olympics, that set his resolve to make it to Helsinki, Finland in 1952.   In the 1952 Olympics, the race he competed in was the 1500m (the equivalent of .932 miles). Roger was disappointed as he finished fourth…thus not being able to place and win an Olympic medal, but he did set a British Record in the process of that race.   After his setback in 1952 Bannister began to question whether he should continue his running career or give up, and he decided he was going to be the first man to run a mile in under four minutes. So he began training harder, as his previous training regimen was quite light to other distance runners in his field.   On May 6th 1954, Roger reached his goal as running a mile in 3:59.4 seconds.   And only 46 days later a rival of his, John Landy, surpassed the record.   On August 7, 1954 a historic race was set to take place as Bannister and Landy were set to race each other in what was deemed the “Miracle Mile” race. The reason the race garnered that name was because the only two people to run a mile in under four minutes ever we set to race against each other.   Landy was in the lead for most of the race until the last bend when Roger passed Landy and never gave up his lead. And later on both runners admitted the reason Roger took the lead was because when Landy was looking over his left shoulder to see where his followers were Roger blew right past him on his right side and never looked back.   The story of Roger Bannister comes up in a lot of self-development books or speeches about how a belief can determine what we do with our lives. A paradigm shift happens, and what was once deemed impossible is now within reach with alarming breakthroughs from many other people.   After Roger beat that impossible record, the next year four other men had run a sub four minute mile and the year after that 4 more to make it a total of 8 doing what was deemed impossible.   And I want to bring up the Miracle Mile race one last time to display a point the reason Bannister won was due to not worrying about who was behind him. Which makes me wonder how many times we have sabotaged ourselves worrying about other people's progress by taking our focus away from our own efforts.   So question, where is your nose? Is it in someone else's business, or is it only in your business? You will not go far by measuring yourself to what others are doing. Yes, we can always benchmark; but a good portion of the time when we look back, it's to see how hard we should be going. Instead of living your life dictated by how hard other people are going, work to go your own pace, work to go a little further for yourself each time. Don't judge your merit or your effort by what another person is doing.   We go to our jobs, our schools, or even our family life comparing what others are doing and then falling into place with that standard. We cripple our progress by looking for a norm, looking for what's acceptable, when we should go all out creating our own standards. And if we settle for average, we will be left wondering why we always feel so unfulfilled.   There was a story told to me about teachers who were told that the new class coming in were students who needed to be challenged because they were smart. And if you didn't ask more of them, or expect more of them, they would get bored and slough off in school. What the teachers didn't know is that all of these students were below average students. And so the teachers made sure to challenge and believe in these students more than anyone had believed in them before…and you know what? All of these kids got better grades, in fact they as a whole became part of the top percentile of students in there districts. These kids were no longer failing out and doing poorly in school. In fact, they enjoyed that someone cared enough about them to ask more of them.   So are you asking enough of yourself, or are you falling in line with what's expected? One pathway will lead you to being comfortable and being hidden by the pack of everyone else…and the other way will help bring a fulfillment you've never known.   What if you decided to focus less on what others were doing, and you decided to focus on what you were capable of? How different would your life be?   Today's Personal Commitment:So, the question is begging to be asked…what are you capable of?   And if you aren't reaching your capabillities, why?   As with Roger Bannister, breaking the old myth of what was humanly possible, was because he set his mind to making it happen, and then kept his eyes forward in his pursuits. What are the myths you've been holding onto for the things you desire in your life?   And what are you willing to do to make your goals and dreams a reality?   I believe two crucial questions need to be asked to become the people we want to be: How organized are we in working towards our goals And what's our pain threshold?   Greatness comes by being deliberate in working towards something, and it also is reached by stepping out of our comfort zones. It doesn't have to be huge leaps at one time either. Vincent Van Gogh said, “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”   I sent out a newsletter to my Strong Within subscribers...

Our guest today is Roger Lee, the owner of F1 Consulting. Roger provides remote IT support for independent professionals, home offices, and small businesses. He helps his clients with network design and installation, cloud services migration, remote monitoring, and offsite data backup and disaster recovery. One of the tools that Roger mentions in this episode is LastPass, a password manager. After Roger and I spoke I adopted LastPass myself and I strongly recommend it. Roger asked me to point out that he misspoke on the cost of LastPass – the monthly fee is two dollars, not one dollar. If you are an independent professional, you ought to have an IT professional like Roger on your virtual team.  I picked up a ton of useful tips in this discussion and I hope you find it helpful.

Marc Carig (Newsday) and Rich MacLeod (MLB.com, BP Mets) joined us for a twofer on a very special Ghoul Fundies. After Roger was wished a Happy Scareadays season from a very old ghoul (01:40), Brian and Roger talked about new Mets manager Mickey Callaway (08:30), and the details of the not so smooth purchase of the Triple-A Syracuse franchise you probably don't know about (13:00). Then Marc Carig joined the Good Fundies boys and discussed the latest news on Asdrubal Cabrera and Jerry Blevins' options (34:15), what it was like to walk into the Mets clubhouse the day after his now famous piece on Terry Collins (38:45), Mickey Callaway(46:42), how TC handled his players (52:20), why the team released Nori Aoki (56:30), not writing about this year's World Series(57:35), how he would have approached writing about the crazy Game 5 (59:25), his Series prediction (01:02:50), if the balls are juiced or not (01:08:00), and how he's celebrating Halloween (01:11:40). Then Rich MacLeod stepped up to the plate. After Roger kept asking him what the MLB replay hub is really like (01:16:00), he talked about having to edit videos of the Mets stinking (01:17:00), why he still bothers with #MetsTwitter (01:23:00), how late MLB employees work during the postseason (01:26:00), what Ryan Church told him about his concussion and missing third base(01:27:30), Church's reaction to Ray Ramirez's dismissal (01:32:00), and of course his World Series prediction (01:37:45). In the mailbag, the boys were asked if the Mets should go trade for Dee Gordon (01:46:30), if Brian would rather live alone with Jay Bruce on a deserted island instead of TC or Rafael Montero (01:49:40), and if RA Dickey should return to Flushing (01:51:15).

Brian and Roger said goodbye to Adam Rubin and Ty Kelly and discussed the reunions of Jerry Blevins and Fernando Salas to the team, wondering if the two will bring the Mets to glory or nah. After Roger successfully proved in one important way how Jay Bruce is objectively better than Giancarlo Stanton, Brian broke down what the new ZiPS projections from Dan Szymborski say about the Mets chances in 2017. Then in the main event, Joe DeMayo of St. Lucie to Flushing battled Brian in the #StateoftheMets debate. The two argued over how well the Mets will do this season, if the payroll is big enough, what to expect from David Wright, if the Nationals are a threat to Mets' way of living, what to do with a problem like Jay Bruce, what one aspect of the franchise they would change if they could, and more if you could believe it. Then Brian and Roger chatted with DeMayo about Mets prospects of the past, including Dilson Herrera, because Brian has got to stay on brand, as well as Reese Havens and Fernando "F-Mart" Martinez, because the boys love to pander to the masses. In the mailbag, the "guys of Good Fundies" got their first ever voice memo. Listeners can send a voice memo or just an old fashioned email to goodfundies@gmail.com. It's free to do so.

After Roger’s first year in AA, he learned that his home group “Beyond Belief”, had been disenfranchised by the Greater Toronto Area Intergroup. Without warning, the group’s webpage was removed from the Intergroup’s website and their meeting was removed from the local meeting directory. It seems a vote was taken to delist the Beyond Belief […]

After Roger's first year in AA, he learned that his home group "Beyond Belief", had been disenfranchised by the Greater Toronto Area Intergroup. Without warning, their group's web page was removed from the Intergroup's website and their meeting was removed from the local meeting a directory. A vote was taken to remove the Beyond Belief and We Agnostics gropus, and neither group had say in the matter. The groups were in effect "booted out".
