In this episode we celebrate the life of 4th degree Pedro Sauer Black Belt Professor Keith Owen through the eyes of his family, affiliates, fellow instructors, the people who loved him. Keith Owen was an incredible man. He was an incredible teacher, mentor, friend, husband, father, and an amazing human being who impacted so many people's lives. He left this life too early but he was a true example of the belief of “it's not how many years you live but the amount of lives you touch while you're here.” Featured in this episode are Ari Kay, Rob Magao, Carrigan Owen, Josh Arentz, Karlton Rowe, Todd Richards, James Foster, Alex Owen, Jeff Walther, Mark Cukro, Master Pedro Sauer, and Shirlane Owen (and clips of Keith himself).
Amanda and Sarah realize that the kids aren't alright with two stories about supernatural sightings. Sarah covers the famous Cottingley Fairies photo hoax, and how it affected the lives of the two young girls behind it. Amanda heads to the Isle of Wight for the absolutely bonkers case of the Sandown Clown, a mysterious being that may have visited two children. Other subjects covered include being khaki crazy, fangirling on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and dreading Aries season. Recommendations: Amanda recommends the first episode of Atlanta season three and the film The Green Knight.

Alex Owen, co owner of Grants Martial Arts Academy and Black Belt under GF Team. Finally great to sit down with this multi talented educator about how he got started in this crazy game of Martial Arts and more specifically Jiu Jitsu. A long, candid discussion about the sports, the different rule sets and how entertainment is different than the Pan Ams. We covered his competition days, his running a gym and how that has been for him during covid. Having a mentor like TJ Grant as a cousin and business partner and the advantages of having world class training partners. Alot of really smooth conversation with a great guy! Take an hour, sit back and enjoy this episode, it's a goodie!
In 1917, two young cousins carried a camera into an English dell and returned with a photo of fairies. When Arthur Conan Doyle took up the story it became a worldwide sensation. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Cottingley Fairies, a curiosity that would remain unexplained for most of the 20th century. We'll also remember a ferocious fire and puzzle over a troublesome gnome. Intro: Poet Harry Graham found "a simple plan / Which makes the lamest lyric scan." In the 1920s, Otto Funk fiddled across the United States. Sources for our feature on the Cottingley fairies: Jason Loxton et al., "The Cottingley Fairies," Skeptic 15:3 (2010), 72B,73-81.

Lasers Lasers Birmingham is the sort of thing that happens when an experienced musician tests positive for country after years of slogging it out as a sideman in indie bands from the hills of Missouri to the deserts of Arizona. Alex Owen is Lasers Lasers Birmingham, and after recording his first cassette-only demo on his own - including playing all the instruments himself - Owen decided that his new batch of songs that would become the new EP Royal Blue necessitated third-person musical colors. Fortunately, a cadre of seasoned L.A. players was eager to pick up the phone when Owen called. Royal Blue is a quick tour of Lasers Lasers Birmingham's musical universe, and over the course of its four songs, gently strummed acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, barroom piano, pedal steel guitar, brushed snare drum, and burning Telecaster licks all have ample space to shine. But this isn't Nashville country, nor is it Austin country, Midwestern punk country, or even neo-traditionalist L.A./Bakersfield country. Lasers Lasers Birmingham's brand of country music is country for the Internet age; it is fully confident in mixing subgenres, slightly tongue-in-cheek, smart, melodic and self-assured in its delivery. It's a pleasing mashup of several flavors of country in an age when one can sample widely disparate styles of music with a few swipes on their smart phone. Owen's lyrical approach is Dylan-esque, but his laid back, almost laconic vocal delivery is less affected and features layered harmonies that owe more to the best moments in the Eagles' catalog. There is also a hint of blue-eyed soul on Royal Blue that nods toward Van Morrison's early 70s classics, and it fits right in there. All in all, Alex Owen and Lasers Lasers Birmingham's specific influences are hard to peg, but easy to listen to.
