This week on Epic Realms, Nick sits down with three-time Eisner Award nominated cartoonist, writer, and illustrator Chris Schweizer for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, storytelling, and building a life around making comics. From his childhood in Louisiana and Kentucky to his years studying art, theater, and filmmaking, Chris reflects on the experiences that shaped his artistic voice and eventually led him into the world of graphic novels. Along the way, he shares stories about making homemade movies as a kid, discovering classic comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes and Pogo, and finding his place within the evolving comics industry. The discussion explores the craft behind visual storytelling, the unique language of comics, and the creative choices that separate newspaper strips, graphic novels, and superhero books. Chris also looks back on the creation of Crogan's Adventures, the project that helped launch his professional career, and discusses how his approach to writing and illustration has evolved over the years. The second half of the conversation focuses on The Outlaw's Apprentice, Chris's upcoming fantasy graphic novel launching on Kickstarter. Drawing inspiration from Appalachian culture, classic adventure fiction, and a lifelong love of immersive worldbuilding, the series follows a young apprentice and his unlikely mentor as they navigate a dangerous world while staying one step ahead of the law. Filled with insights on art, storytelling, history, comics, and creativity, this is a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the most distinctive voices working in graphic novels today.

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey are back with a merch-packed episode that starts at Target, swings through Walt Disney World, and lands deep in Mickey Mouse history. Lauren shares what she spotted on her latest Florida trip, from Muppets merch and Uncle Deadly deep cuts to Disney's colorful new Logo Mania collections. Then Jim looks back at Disney's repeated attempts to give Mickey Mouse a milestone birthday celebration big enough for the big screen, and why those plans often arrived late, changed shape, or became something else entirely. NEWS • Golden Girls returns to the bookstore with Death on the Lanai, the second mystery novel in Disney's sitcom-inspired series. • Target's Disney Fan Snacks line brings character-shaped chips to the aisle, including Darth Vader corn chips and Grogu-inspired flavors. • Toy Story 5 merch arrives early with Ginormous, a truly oversized plush pig that may require its own shopping cart. • Lauren checks out Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets merch, including Kermit keychains, Miss Piggy gear, and Animal-focused designs. • Walt Disney World's Logo Mania collections lean into color-coded Disney fan moments, from Last Day of Trip Blues to Popcorn on Main Street. FEATURE • Jim revisits how The Sorcerer's Apprentice began as a Mickey birthday short before growing into Fantasia. • Disney's planned Jack and the Beanstalk feature for Mickey's 15th birthday was derailed by World War II and eventually reshaped into Fun and Fancy Free. • Mickey's 60th birthday brought a star-studded NBC special and the temporary Magic Kingdom land that became surprisingly permanent. • The abandoned Search for Mickey Mouse would have sent Disney characters across the animated canon before evolving into Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles mark Donald Trump entering his ninth decade with a special episode revealing new details about private discussions inside Trump's circle over his age, health, legacy, and the future of his presidency, culminating in a striking prediction about what may lie ahead during the next two and a half years of the Trump era. On the eve of Trump turning 80, Wolff also traces the astonishing rise of a man who went from a Queens real-estate promoter to perhaps the most famous person on earth. Along the way, they unpack the pivotal moments that built the Trump myth: the excess of 1980s New York, The Art of the Deal, the bankruptcies that never seemed to matter, the reinvention of Trump through The Apprentice, and the presidential campaign that began as a branding exercise before transforming American politics. Drawing on Wolff's decades of reporting and personal encounters with Trump, including a revealing conversation in which Trump declared his goal was simply “to be the most famous man in the world,” the episode explores the relentless pursuit of attention that has defined his life.

You don't see too many $61.00 “pops” generating ovations like the one Rothfire and Brad Rawiller got after the recent Doomben $10,000. The horse all but written off when he broke down almost six years ago, and the tough-as-teak veteran jockey served up a fairy tale story in winning the famous sprint after a very wide run.  It was Gr 1 number 26 for the hard working Rawiller who hadn't won at the elite level since scoring on  Elite Street in Perth's Winterbottom Stakes five and a half years ago. Brad, who makes a habit of “walking racetracks” when track conditions are suspect, went out with a set plan. He answers all of the questions that people have pondered in this week's podcast. He begins by explaining how he secured the ride from a stable he hasn't ridden for previously. The jockey takes us through the tactics he employed in the big sprint. He talks of Rothfire's unlucky seventh in the Kingsford Smith Cup two weeks later.  Brad pays tribute to his remarkable dad Keith, a versatile horseman who enjoyed success as a jockey both on the flat and over the jumps. Rawiller Snr also made his mark as a trainer and driver of harness horses.  The jockey gives a shout out to his mum Elaine who closely monitors the progress of brothers Nash and Brad. Brad makes special mention of brother Todd and sister Stacey, both highly efficient horse people in their own right.   He makes no secret of the fact that brother Nash is his primary inspiration. Brad goes back to his initial apprenticeship to Alan Bowell at Bendigo and a later transfer to Tony Noonan at Mornington. In his final year with Noonan he won the Victorian country jockey's premiership.  He's never forgotten his win as a 19 year old in an Apprentice's Cup at Belmont in WA. He formed an instant attachment to Perth racing. Brad was thrilled to win his first Gr 1 in Perth for high profile trainer David Hayes. He looks back on a national jockey's title in the 2007/2008 season. His win tally was extraordinary. Brad recalls the unfortunate circumstances that brought him a Golden Slipper win on Phelan Ready in 2009.  He looks back on a brief association with the grand stayer Viewed. He enjoyed a freak run to win the Caulfield Cup on the handsome stallion. Brad reminisces about his exciting journey with the talented galloper Weekend Hussler. He won 11 races on the gelding including 7 Gr 1's. Only one other horse even gets close to Weekend Hussler in the jockey's affections. He pays homage to the remarkable Black Heart Bart, a horse he partnered in 6 Gr 1 wins. The last of those wins triggered high emotion. Brad looks back on his snap decision in 2020 to try his luck on a permanent basis in Perth. There were several highs and one devastating low.  The 47 year old is greatly inspired by older  brother Nash but there are two other Victorian jockeys for whom he had special admiration.  Brad makes special mention of daughter Cleo (14) and son Lucas (11). A nice chat with one of Australia's hardest working jockeys who hopes to enjoy similar longevity to brother Nash.

Transmission incoming from the insane world of Ratner's Star, DeLillo's fourth novel, a major change in his fiction and his most difficult text, underappreciated as precedent for his later turns on encyclopedic form in Libra and Underworld. Ratner's also has, though, tons of connections to earlier works like Americana and End Zone. In this episode DDSWTNP celebrate Ratner's fiftieth anniversary with a wholly new re-reading of a book that remains for us hilarious, pleasurable, and a huge reading challenge. We consider how Ratner's Star, like any masterpiece, teaches us how to read its fabulations from its first page on. We examine its relentless juxtaposition of minds and bodies, as well as its dissection of the impulses toward pattern, order, and other “convenient fictions.” We ask what kinds of narrative experimentation with time and perspective DeLillo carries out, especially in the quest for an ultra-logical metalanguage in Part 2. We wonder about how science and math as fields of knowledge and uncertainty relate to DeLillo's later turns to examining history. We do our best to try to understand the relationships of DeLillo's “mohole” physics to Einstein's relativity, and we offer a reading of a Jesuit's interrogation of “red ant metaphysics” and “premature genuflection” that marks a new turn in DeLillo's satires of his Catholic education. We close by disagreeing with a 1976 panning review of the novel as a pale imitation of Pynchon. As we say in the episode, Ratner's fiftieth makes for a great transition into our Summer of Underworld – look for a string of episodes on that big novel from us in the next few months!

A young builder from Mangawhai, north of Auckland, won the New Zealand Certified Builders Apprentice Challenge. Caidan Brien spoke to John Campbell.

Jesus didn't invite the disciples to attend. He invited them to become. In this message, guest speaker Quentin Peyton walks through Matthew 4:18–23 and the moment Jesus called his first disciples — not just to follow him, but to be formed by him until the day he would send them out to do the same. The invitation hasn't changed. Following Jesus was never meant to be a spectator sport. It was always meant to produce apprentices who look like their rabbi, sound like their rabbi, and eventually go make disciples of their own. This message explores what it really means to follow Jesus, why showing up is not enough, and how to recognize and respond to that gentle but firm voice that calls you out of the crowd and into a life on mission.

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly: former Abbey Road session musician, PhD in psychology from Oxford, and the man often called the Gordon Ramsay of the addiction world.Before becoming one of the most sought after addiction specialists in the country, Robb played bass alongside Bowie, Queen, and Elton John, then watched it all disappear into a two bottle a day vodka habit that cost him his children, his homes, and twice cost him his life on the streets of Manchester.In this episode, Robb opens up about the rain soaked night that changed everything, the stranger named Derek who appeared 30 seconds after a desperate prayer, and the mentor named John who taught him the framework he still uses to heal patients today.We dive into why alcoholics are born and addicts are made, the three parts of the brain that operate differently in true alcoholism, and why he believes depression, PTSD, and addiction can be cured rather than just managed. He also breaks down the phone and dopamine epidemic destroying connection in homes everywhere and how to claw it back with simple boundaries.If you have ever felt like the world has written your story for you, this conversation will rewrite the page.

A teenager hurtles from the balcony of a luxury apartment complex into the Thames. That unexplained death animates the newest book from one of America's great nonfiction writers, Patrick Radden Keefe. Patrick joins Harry to unspool the story's web of shady characters, complacent police, and desperate parents. The two delve into the transformation of London into a playground for the extremely and unscrupulously wealthy—like Russian oligarchs—that made the fatal fall possible and draw out the way Trump is overseeing a similar shift in the United States. And Harry digs into Patrick's approach to writing, including how his law degree informs his precise, almost prosecutorial reporting.

From line school and storm work to learning under pressure and finding the right crew, Shayla speaks openly about the reality of becoming good at something that takes years to master.They dig into why apprentices can't rush the process, the pressure of constantly feeling behind, the importance of crew culture and mentorship, and how the right foreman can completely change an apprentice's confidence and future in the trade. Shayla also shares lessons from storm work, learning by watching experienced linemen, and why good apprentices focus less on chasing the title and more on earning trust over time.Topics covered:Why so many apprentices feel behind in today's trade cultureThe reality of learning under pressure on a crewWhy becoming good at line work takes years, not monthsThe difference the right crew and foreman can makeLearning by watching experienced linemen workWhy rushing the process hurts more than it helpsThe mental side of apprenticeship nobody talks aboutStorm work, confidence, embarrassment, and growthCrew culture, mentorship, and earning trust over timeWhat young apprentices actually need to hear entering the trade✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️

20 years ago, automation was a pipe dream for industrial workers, 10 years ago it existed in research and development labs. Now it's fully operational in warehouses, production facilities and even mines.The companies driving robotics forwards are going one step further than developing smarter AI. They're figuring out how to apply that advanced engineering to ‘gritty' manufacturing – and there are few places that understand that world better than the Steel City.Pittsburgh has become an important ecosystem for developing autonomous technologies, the combination of engineering talent and thriving industrial background has turned it into somewhat of a testing ground for physical AI.Recorded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this was a special live show in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Robotics Network. Chris is joined by three industry leaders to talk about adopting autonomy in critical industries. Brett Phillips is Chief Revenue Officer and General Council at Hellbender, specializing in on-edge AI hardware development. David Griffin is Chief Sales Officer at Seegrid, manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots. Mike Smocer is CEO of Mine Vision Systems, a mining technology company building real-time digital mapping systems for GPS denied environments.They dig into how autonomy is moving beyond one-off projects, and into fully integrated systems. Brett breaks down how the incorporation of sensors and models are shrinking development timelines for autonomous systems and why Pittsburgh's willingness to ‘get their hands dirty' is key. David explains how advances in perception and control systems have pushed AMRs beyond basic pallet moves into large, complex material moves through busy logistics environments. Mike shares how Mine Vision Systems support vital underground decision making with millions of dollars of impact by replacing manual mapping and tribal knowledge with accurate digital records.For anyone considering where robotics and AI can create value inside their operations, thinking about the intersection between advanced software and manufacturing, or curious why Pittsburgh has become so strong in robotics and autonomy, this episode is a look at how three industry leaders are managing that change today.In this episode, find out: • About the technological advances that shifted autonomy from isolated deployments to a broader ecosystem covering manufacturing, logistics, mining and warehouse operations.• How David explains the evolution of AMRs within lifting, going from limited pallet moves to an all-in-one technology capable of moving any material to any location.• Why mid-tier manufacturers are becoming a major driver of autonomy adoption due to labor constraints and the positive impact of this in regional production environments.• What mining looks like without the implementation of automated systems, Mike discusses highly intelligent operators still using coloured pencils and paper to capture critical underground data.• Mining as a tunnel building process with the constant balance of optimizing extraction with breakage vs. how much time and cost is spent processing the material caused by that breakage.• How Hellbender utilizes their expertise and capability to provide an end-to-end service inhouse, getting their customers to market in a matter of months rather than years.• The role of sensors, on-edge AI, and manufacturing capability in accelerating the production of perception systems that serve as the eyes and ears of the autonomy stack.• What the conversation reveals about Pittsburgh's current position as a robotics hub where engineering talent, institutional history and manufacturing culture are allowing them to go head-to-head with the likes of Silicon Valley.Enjoying the show?

The hardware component of our product is essentially a near commodity at this point. It's the navigation systems, the safety systems, the perception systems, the control systems.” – David Griffin • ”There is a transformation involved. There's change management involved. There are workflows that if you disrupt them just because your cool technology solved one little problem, broke 12... There's an approach to developing your technology so that it succeeds not only now, but in the future.” – Mike Smocer• “What's gonna separate us moving forward is the ability to sort of mash this really high-level, very technical engineering with real-world manufacturing. That is where, uniquely, Pittsburgh stands alone.” – Brett Phillips Do you want to connect with other leaders that are moving the needle in manufacturing everyday?Then make sure to join us in the Manufacturing Happy Hour Industry Community on LinkedIn.Apprentice has developed the first AI Agent designed specifically for manufacturing, not adapted from a general model.

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with Dr. Forbes Riley: the woman called the Queen of Pitch, host of over 197 national infomercials, two-time TEDx speaker, and the inventor behind the Spin Gym who has personally sold over 2.5 billion dollars worth of products on television.Before becoming one of the most coached pitch experts in the world with over 100,000 entrepreneurs in her playbook, Forbes was a goofy little girl from Long Island with frizzy hair, eight years of braces, a broken nose, and a mother who told her there was no money for college. Then a doctor overheard that conversation in a hospital, fixed her nose for free, and one decision to enter a beauty pageant for a scholarship set off a chain reaction that landed her on Broadway with Christopher Reeve, hosting ESPN's X Games with Stuart Scott, and standing next to Jack LaLanne on the most successful infomercial of all time.In this episode, Forbes opens up about the legally blind Shakespeare professor who saw her potential when no one else could, the agent who chased her around a hotel room and pushed her to invent her own management company at 22, and the stripper-gram empire she built during the New York writer's strike that funded her move to Los Angeles.We dive into her exact pitching formula that turned a single Jack LaLanne juicer infomercial into a billion dollar product, the difference between sales and pitching that almost nobody understands, the springboard story technique she uses to build instant connection, and the question flip that makes prospects beg you for the solution. She also breaks down why she stopped telling people what they need and started getting them to want what she has, and how parents can pitch their kids into cleaning their rooms without ever raising their voice.If you have ever pitched anything to anyone, a product, a deal, a kid, a spouse, this conversation will rewire how you do it forever.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. IntroToday we celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the church. This message explores the transition from being a disciple who sits and learns to being an apostle who is sent out on a mission, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Scripture– Matthew 9:35-38– Matthew 10:1-2– Romans 16:7– Matthew 28:19– Isaiah 6:5-8– Matthew 10:18-20– Acts 2:1-4– Acts 2:40-41 Sermon Points– A Disciple is a Student or Apprentice– Apostle Means Sent Out Ones– God does Not Call the Equipped. He Equips the Called– Pentecost is the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit ClosingAs we remember the first Pentecost, let us be a people who don’t just consume the faith, but who are willing to be sent out into our community and the world. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can say with Isaiah, Here am I. Send me!
