I might overuse this word a little bit, but on this week's episode we do have a true pair of legends in conversation on the Talkhouse Podcast this week: Maynard James Keenan and Daniel Ash. Keenan is of course best known as the frontman for Tool, the dark, complex, heavy band he formed way back in 1990—but whose records come few and far between. Keenan is also the frontman for A Perfect Circle, but the reason for today's chat is yet another band, Puscifer. This one started out almost as a solo outlet for Keenan's weirdest ideas: There are comedic elements, and—fun fact—Puscifer actually sprung to life as part of a Mr. Show sketch. (Google it, it's a good story.) But the band has evolved over the years into a steady trio that features Keenan alongside Carina Round and Mat Mitchell, and that more recently has explored Keenan's most theatrical and straightforward impulses. It's funny, weird, and heavy, and the brand new Puscifer album, Normal Isn't, even nods sonically to UK post-punk bands like Killing Joke. Check out “Self Evident” right here. The other half of today's conversation is Daniel Ash, whose resume also includes a remarkable number of incredible bands, starting with Bauhaus, moving directly into Tones on Tail, and then heading for a long stretch into Love and Rockets, which reunited a couple of years ago for some very welcome shows. Ash's guitar playing over the years has been quietly influential on a ton of players; you can hear his tone in a remarkable swath of bands. Last year, he released the first album by his latest outfit, Ashes & Diamonds. Called Ashes & Diamonds Are Forever, it's unmistakably Ash's voice and tone, though in some flashier dressing on occasion. It's a lot of fun. Check out “Teenage Robots” right here. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ash and Keenan talk about Keenan's wine business—he was nice enough to send Ash some bottles in advance of this chat—as well as touring, making videos, and the seemingly inevitable future of AI. Ash thinks it's going to be good, so even if he's wrong, it's nice to hear some optimism. Ash is also obsessed with motorcycles, leading Keenan to suggest an intervention. Enjoy.

The old man has finally lost it, and has decided to drop the first near 10 hour episode of the show. Sit back, relax and enjoy the last month's worth of recordings touching on a smorgasbord of issues, beginning with, oddly enough, a non-WoW topic as Josh chats with Ashes of Creation players about the huge and unfortunate news that the project has been sidelined for now.

Welcome to Season of Aquarius, our book club season on Book Talk for BookTok, a fantasy and romantasy podcast centered on thoughtful discussion and literary analysis. This season is created for readers who want more than quick takes and star ratings, offering space to explore how and why stories work on the page. This is not a traditional book review podcast; it's an analysis and conversation. Each week, we share flash literary analysis that examines themes, authorial intent, character arcs, symbolism, world-building, and key plot devices. Our discussions move beyond initial impressions to unpack narrative choices, emotional resonance, and the craft behind fantasy and romantasy storytelling. We aim to bridge academic literary insight with the modern reading experience shaped by BookTok and online reading communities. This week, we discuss Silver Elite by Dani Francis.

In this episode, I break down why we re-drafted nearly our entire team over the last 12 months — from fuel and payroll to insurance, CPA, and bookkeeping.

We talk about how to evaluate your team, when it's time to make a change, and why drafting the right people is one of the most important leadership decisions you'll ever make.

Highguard released this week to extreme criticism, is it warranted, is there a good game there? The breaking news this week, however, is the sudden mass layoff and shuttering of Ashes of Creation studio Intrepid. Is this a uniquely bad situation or is it another failure in a long list of MMOs failing?

Ash Wednesday and other holy days like Christmas and Easter are popular days in the liturgical calendar where parishes see an increase in the number of people attending Mass. Many may be there for the first time or for the first time in a long time. How can parishes create a welcoming environment that helps bring these individuals closer to Christ? In this episode of On Mission, Paul Jarzembowski joins Chris Pierno and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. to discuss what times of the year parishes can expect an increase in attendance and how best to accommodate and welcome the newcomers.Many parishes offer extra Masses and times for Confession close to Ash Wednesday, Christmas, and Easter expecting a large number of new people to attend these services. With proper preparation and consideration, parishes can turn who would be one time attendees into active and involved members of the community. Paul Jarzembowski, author of Hope for the Holidays and Hope from the Ashes, shares tips and strategies for parishes who experience an influx in attendance around key moments in the liturgical year. Related On Mission episodes:Ash WednesdayThe Easter Vigil and Easter TraditionsOn Lent Webinars with Paul Jarzembowski:Sparks from Ashes: Lent and Ash Wednesday as Moments of EvangelizationHope For the Holidays: Finding Light at the Darkest Times of the YearHope from the Ashes: Preparing for an Evangelizing Lent  From the Ad Infinitum blog:Accompanying Others Throughout LentMore posts about Lent Check out the main Saints and Feast Days websiteDownload the App on the App Store or Google Play Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify On Mission is produced by the Catholic Apostolate Center.

Send us a textWhen we are in a hurry to move on from an intensely brutal situation, we tend to leap out of the ceremony before the ritual fire turns its glowing embers into ashes. we're often tempted to circumvent the space and time it requires to heal. It is natural to want to run, jump out of the ceremonial ground. But  while early escape may find yourself in a different landscape, the same lesson remains. Healing of heart is an odyssey that requires sitting in stillness until the last ember crackles and transforms your feminine  ancestral legacy. Rising too early may console the soul, but don't be surprised when a parallel encounter of the same ironic nature butts it's horns into your chest. You will find  that the heart is still ribbed in its cage, albeit with gate wide open. The virile emotions of love's deep longing once again pelts out without guile, raw, and untethered -part of the immortal beauty of love. But alas, the brutal lesson when we do not wait for the signal of ashes before rising, the heart  once again feels unsupported, vulnerable, set up to be trifled with, to be harvested. Solution, unfinished. Evolution does not happen in the claim of being free or taking a detour from feeling trapped. It happens in the fire where we are forged. We stay in the roaring silence, stilled by faith until the fire burns to ashes and every trace of the ancestral trap is vanquished.Presence is not passive. Stillness is the most austere form of activity. It alchemises pain not into numbness but into fertile transmutation. It does hurt. But this is hurting that deeply heals. When we sit inside this hurting, when we do not seek bypasses to avert it, only then can we fully cremate the ancestral vasanas that live unloved in fear, and self-rejection, where emotions are easily baited.  In the yet unhealed in-between, each encounter reminds us that we are living on the outer perimeter of love- that brilliant mystery of  universal love that is necessary to coalesce Shiva-Shakti primordial feminine- masculine connection. Only then can wholeness thrive, and awareness flourish. Only then is the heart prepared for its sublime adventure. So listen up, goddesses, be still. Allow the sacred ashes to bless and adorn your feet before rising. Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Lester Holt talks with Andrea Canning about her episode, “Secrets in the Ashes.” When 31-year-old Texas mother Patricia Leigh Mills is found dead in a house fire, her family suspects her husband, Delbert, of setting the blaze that killed her, suspicions that only grow when he remarries less than two months after the death of his wife. Years later, after Delbert is convicted of Patricia Leigh's murder, attention turns to his now ex-wife, Allison Salinas, who had moved to a new state, gotten remarried, and then tried to enlist her high school boyfriend to kill her husband. Andrea tells Lester about her prison interviews with Allison and Delbert, and they play a podcast-exclusive clip of Delbert describing his biggest regret.

Today's guest, Dr. John Delony, is someone I have admired from afar for a long time because he has a way of cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart of what's breaking our families. In this conversation, John gets incredibly vulnerable about his own "big dirty secret" how his success in the world was masking a "nuclear reactor" of stress that made his own daughter feel unsafe to hug him. We dive deep into the "toolkit crisis" facing men today, why we've started pathologizing normal childhood behavior in boys, and the radical choice to rebuild a marriage from the ashes. John also turned the tables on me, asking why I decided to "run it back" and get married again after a 20-year journey. This is one of the most raw, honest, and faith-filled conversations I've ever had on this show. If you've ever felt like you were just "performing" your life instead of living it, this episode is for you.

England can finally toast a series victory this winter with a barnstorming batting performance in the final ODI in Sri Lanka. On the back of a 20th ODI century by Joe Root and a stylish 67 from Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook assaulted the wilting Sri Lankan attack as only he can with a quite remarkable 136 not out off 66 balls with nine sixes. It was a reminder of his exceptional talent which mostly went missing in the Ashes. It sets England up well for the T20 World Cup to follow, although, as Simon Hughes and Simon Mann discuss, the bowling is a worry. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textPeople love to ask a woman in an abusive relationship, “Why doesn't she just leave?”But leaving is not always safety. Sometimes it's the most dangerous step she can take, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually.In this powerful episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we unpack what really happens inside an abusive, narcissistic relationship… and why so many women stay far longer than they want to.I'm joined by Dana S. Diaz, bestselling, award-winning author of the memoir trilogy Gasping for Air, Choking on Shame, and Rising from the Ashes. She's also a global speaker, podcast host, and one of the most sought-after guests of 2024, appearing on nearly 300 podcasts worldwide.Dana's story is one of survival, silence, awakening, and reclaiming her life after 25 years with a narcissistic, abusive partner.Together, we explore:Why leaving an abusive partner can actually be the most dangerous momentHow love bombing, apology cycles, and manipulation trap women in emotional quicksandWhy silence becomes survival and why that's not weakness, but traumaHow childhood abuse and neglect set women up to repeat the same relationships in adulthoodThe neuroscience behind why we are drawn to familiar painHow psychological abuse becomes physical violenceWhy women self-blame, self-silence, and stay even when their body is breaking downThe physical healing that began the moment he left the houseHow healthy love later triggered her old trauma patternsWhy self-sabotage shows up in safe relationshipsHow rebuilding trust in yourself is the foundation of rebuilding your lifeIf something moved in your chest or your gut while listening, that's not just a podcast moment, that's your soul saying: We're ready now.You don't have to heal in silence anymore.

Shownotes: Syria's new president, former rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, has just made another quantum leap in establishing his power over Syria, by persuading the United States to let Sharaa take over the Kurdish statelet in northeast Syria. Sharaa has presented himself as an inclusive agent of change. On this episode of Order from Ashes, Century International fellow Frederick Deknatel discusses Syria's reconstruction agenda, which worries many Syrians and should concern international policymakers as well. Syria's reconstruction has an estimated cost of up to $400 billion, some twenty times the size of Syria's GDP, and so far has mirrored many of the authoritarian practices of the deposed Assasd regime. Without reforms, reconstruction risks ushering in a new era of clientelism and corruption in Syria, benefiting only Sharaa's allies and international developers, while the Syrian people continue to be locked out of the decisions that will shape their future.  *Commentary, “Syria's Reconstruction Risks Cutting Out the Syrian People,” by Frederick Deknatel Participants: * Frederick DeKnatel, non-resident fellow, Century International * Thanassis Cambanis, director, Century International Episode: Order from Ashes 99 Date: Jan. 26, 2026

Headline: The Failure of "Bazball" and Post-Ashes Fallout Guest: Jeremy ZakisFollowing a devastating Ashes loss to Australia, the English cricket team is reevaluating their aggressive "Bazball" strategy, admitting it acts as psychological warfare that only works against weaker teams.

This episode of Labor History Today features historian Marcella Bencivenni on Arturo Giovannitti—Italian immigrant, poet, socialist, and labor organizer—whose role in the 1912 Lawrence textile strike made him a target of state repression and a powerful voice of labor resistance. Arrested for his words, Giovannitti turned imprisonment into poetry that helped define an era of immigrant-led radical organizing. The episode explores free speech struggles, anti-immigrant repression, and labor solidarity—lessons from more than a century ago that still resonate in 2026 America. We close with the Labor Song of the Month, featuring “Joe Hill's Ashes,” performed by Otis Gibbs. Today's show comes to us from the always fabulous Heartland Labor Forum on KKFI in Kansas City.

The Ashes might be done and dusted, but our cricket chat is just heating up. In this week's jam-packed episode, Jack, Max, and Ross revisit their infamously "dodgy" pre-series Ashes predictions. We're talking bold shouts, massive flops, and a good dose of self-deprecation as we review just how wrong (or maybe, just maybe, slightly right?) we were about the world's greatest Test rivalry. Did Bazball fizzle out Down Under? We dig into the stats and the real story behind Australia's dominant 4-1 victory. Expect sharp analysis, a bit of banter, and some brutal honesty about England's performance and the systemic issues plaguing the ECB. But wait, there's more! The glorious chaos of white ball cricket is back with a bang. We spin through all the latest from the shortest formats, covering the big hits, controversial dismissals, and tactical masterstrokes. Get your essential dose of cricket analysis and entertainment, blending serious chat with the sort of unfiltered opinion you won't find anywhere else. Tune in, subscribe, and join the conversation!

Jase, Al, and Zach connect recent headlines about the Minnesota daycare fraud scheme to a deeper biblical truth: life built outside God's wisdom always collapses into dust. Drawing from Proverbs and real-world scandals, the guys dive into how deception thrives in darkness but never survives the light of truth or God's design for human flourishing.

During a career spanning half a century, David Bowie constantly reinvented his image and sound, creating the diverse body of work that made him a titan in the history of modern music. From the androgynous alien energy of Ziggy Stardust to the suave, enigmatic Thin White Duke, Bowie's artistic restlessness became his trademark.
