Send us a textIt was a weekend of highs, lows, and everything in between for the crew on Coach E: Game For All Seasons. Friday night brought tough struggles for the Twinsburg Tigers, as Coach E breaks down back-to-back shutouts and the lessons his team needs to learn heading into Homecoming weekend. Saturday offered some relief with tacos, tequila, and throwback performances from legends like Chingy, Ginuwine, and Lil Jon at Avon's festival. But Sunday? More struggles, as the Cleveland Browns took another tough loss to the Lions.The fellas dive deep into what's going wrong with Joe Flacco under center, Kevin Stefanski's outdated playcalling, and whether rookie Dylan Gabriel should finally get his shot. Conspiracy Island makes a return with Taboo Timmons dropping gems about predictive programming and the infamous “33.” And to close things out, the crew debates the Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists — and trust, some controversial picks get thrown in the mix.This week's post game word: Struggles. From Friday night to Sunday afternoon, that was the theme — but the question is, how long will it last?

On this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I've got a collection of real ghost stories from listeners that still give me chills. These aren't just spooky campfire tales — they're true ghost stories told over the phone by real people who have lived through terrifying hauntings.Here's what you'll hear:From Atlanta, Noah remembers playing hide-and-seek in a Mississippi antebellum mansion when a ghostly figure with red reflective eyes appeared. Years later, in a Las Vegas hotel room, he encountered the spirits of a grayscale boy and a father dressed in 19th-century clothing. (Noah also hosts Real Hauntings, Real Ghost Stories, where I joined him on the episode “Ghost in My Bed.”)Michael from Watertown, MA, tells me about the chilling appearance of a woman in a blue nun's habit. What started as strange sightings turned into escalating paranormal activity at home and a spiritual reckoning he'll never forget.Christina, in Phoenix, lived in an apartment next to a cemetery and endured some of the most unsettling hauntings I've ever heard: a little girl's apparition, phantom footsteps, children's laughter, and even a violently shaking coffee pot.Reid from Colorado Springs shares how a towering shadow person first appeared in their childhood bathroom, and later followed them to a new home years later.Cindy Ketron from Avon, IN, has been haunted by “Herbert,” an invisible entity that's been with her and her brother since childhood. Her haunted tale is a reminder that sometimes the scariest ghosts are the ones that stay with us for life. If you love ghost stories, haunted tales, and exploring the mysteries of the paranormal, this episode will leave you wondering what's out there and who might be listening when the lights go out.

What a treat to have Pete Orchard as our guest this month. Pete's been the river keeper at the famous Longford Estate for decades. The Hampsire Avon runs through his soul and so does some pretty crazy punk music. Pete has been known to sport a mohawk and a cravat on the same day, he's a really colourful character with endless stories to tell but it was the discovery of giant carp in this crystal clear river that became our talking point. Pete's tales of uncaught giants gliding between the streamer weed were wonderful but like many things in life you have to make hay while the sun shines, as nothing lasts forever. In addition Mike and Mark talk in depth about watercraft, the changing of the seasons and how this impacts tactics and of course we have another sermon drop from the Panther aka Tim Harris and if you're the first to get it right, you'll win a Baitworks bait bundle! Enjoy.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Wiltshire, ein früher Morgen: Nebel liegt über den Feldern, am Horizont ragen gewaltige Steine auf, die seit Jahrtausenden Rätsel aufgeben – Stonehenge. Errichtet in der Jungsteinzeit, mindestens 3000 v. Chr., besteht das Monument aus tonnenschweren Quadern, deren Transport bis heute ein ungelöstes Geheimnis bleibt. Zur Sommersonnenwende fällt ein Lichtstrahl exakt auf den Opferstein – ein astronomisches Phänomen, das Pilger bis heute anzieht. Mythen erzählen, der Zauberer Merlin habe die Steine aus Irland herbeigezaubert oder Riesen hätten sie aufgestellt. Wissenschaftlich gilt Stonehenge als Begräbnisstätte, Ritualort und Kalender zugleich – und als das bekannteste Wahrzeichen einer Grafschaft, die weit mehr zu bieten hat. -- In dieser Folge BRITPOD nehmen Euch Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling mit nach Wiltshire, die Region mit der größten Dichte prähistorischer Monumente weltweit. Neben Stonehenge besuchen sie das Dorf Avebury mit seinem noch größeren Steinkreis, durch den man bis heute frei spazieren kann. Sie entdecken die weißen Pferde, die im 18. Jahrhundert in die Kreidehügel gescharrt wurden und bis heute die Identität der Region prägen. Und sie erzählen von der majestätischen Kathedrale von Salisbury, einem architektonischen Wunder, das Ken Follett zu „Die Säulen der Erde“ inspirierte und die Magna Carta beherbergt – jenes Dokument, das als Grundlage moderner Demokratie gilt. -- Wiltshire ist auch ein Ort der Zeitreisen: In Castle Combe und Lacock scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Mittelalterliche Gassen, einst durch die Wollindustrie wohlhabend, heute weltbekannte Drehorte für Filme wie Harry Potter und Downton Abbey. Dazu Bradford on Avon, oft „Mini-Bath“ genannt, mit seinen engen Brücken und Fachwerkhäusern. Wer das Land auf andere Weise erkunden will, fährt auf einem Narrowboat über den Kennet-&-Avon-Kanal, einst Handelsweg, heute ein stilles Band durch die Landschaft. Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling nehmen Euch mit in eine Grafschaft, in der Geschichte, Natur und Magie bis heute untrennbar verbunden sind. BRITPOD – England at its best! -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Charles Ross. He was born in East Germany, raised in the heart of Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, traveled through Africa, and now makes his home in Taiwan. That life journey has given him a perspective few can claim. It is the perspective of someone who notices what others overlook. Charles speaks of walking down streets in Taiwan and experiencing powerful deja vu. He sees train stations, cobbled alleys, Roman villages, even European architecture that simply should not be there. While most pass by without a second thought, he feels a memory that seems older than the place itself. It is as if the stones are speaking, and he happens to be listening. His research takes us across continents and across time. We will explore heraldry where Black royals appear in coats of arms, yet are later labeled as servants. We will ask why lions, towers, and crowns appear in families whose names remain common today. We will look at maps that once displayed Tartaria, a vast land now erased from mainstream history. We will study statues and crests that feature the double-headed eagle, a symbol carried by empires from Austria to Russia. Why does it appear everywhere, and what story does it tell? Charles also leads us into the world of technology and architecture. We will examine photographs of the great World Fairs, filled with palaces and domes that appeared and vanished within a season. We will discuss Tesla, the Baghdad battery, and energy systems that may have promised free power for humanity. We will consider pyramids in China that remain hidden from researchers, and the strange harmony between sacred geometry, human anatomy, and music itself. What emerges is not just a story about history, but about us. Who we are, where we come from, and why certain truths seem to be buried while others are celebrated. Tonight, Charles Ross joins us to bring forward those forgotten fragments, and to ask us to see with new eyes.

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews. This time we have the European premier of ‘fat Ham' at the Royal Shakespeare Company's swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, written by playwright James Ijames and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama with description by Professional Describers Julia Grundy and Ess Grange.  About ‘Fat Ham'  Uninvited guests are one thing. Uninvited ghosts are quite another. Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. The story is familiar, but what's different is Juicy himself, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, ‘Fat Ham' is a delectable comic tragedy written by the award-winning playwright James Ijames, originally co-produced off-Broadway by The Public Theatre and National Black Theatre. Original Direction by Saheem Ali, directed for the Swan Theatre by Sideeq Heard.

What happens when a group of wild swimmers take on the pollution giants and fight for the soul of their local river? In this episode I sit down with filmmakers Charlotte Sawyer and Aggie Nyagari, the creative duo behind the acclaimed documentary Rave on for the Avon, to explore how their cameras captured one community's joyful yet defiant battle to reclaim the River Avon.We dive deep into the questions of access, ecology, and the very human need to connect with water. Charlotte and Aggie reveal how the Avon swimmers turned playfulness into protest, from data collection to mermaid costumes - and why sewage, though shocking, is just 4% of the problem.Our conversation ranges from the poetic - attempts to give the river legal personhood - to the profoundly personal, including Meg's extraordinary story of marrying the River Avon. We discuss how the film's reception is already reshaping perceptions of rivers, and why falling in love with nature might be the most radical thing we can do in the face of environmental crisis.This is an episode about activism, creativity, and community - but above all, it's about remembering that rivers are not just scenery. They are living, breathing systems that we depend on, and perhaps even kin.

'Macbeth' es una de las tragedias más oscuras y poderosas de William Shakespeare, sumergiendo al espectador en un mundo de ambición, brujería, locura y traición. La obra se centra en Macbeth, un valiente guerrero escocés, y su esposa Lady Macbeth, quienes, consumidos por la ambición y las profecías de tres brujas, trazan un plan para asesinar al rey Duncan y tomar el trono de Escocia. La trama se desenreda en un espiral de violencia y paranoia, con Macbeth asesinando a aquellos que sospecha que amenazan su poder, incluyendo a su amigo Banquo y la familia de su rival Macduff. A medida que el derramamiento de sangre aumenta, Macbeth se ve acosado por la culpa y las visiones, mientras que Lady Macbeth, igualmente atormentada, desciende a la locura. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, Reino de Inglaterra, 23 de abril de 1564 - ib., 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) ha sido considerado unánimemente el escritor más importante de la literatura universal. Se mantiene que nació el 23 de abril de 1564 y que fue bautizado, al día siguiente, en Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Su llegada a Londres se ha fechado hacia 1588. Cuatro años después de su llegada a la metrópoli, ya había logrado un notable éxito como dramaturgo y actor teatral, éxito que pronto le valió el mecenazgo de Henry Wriothesley, tercer conde de Southampton. Con solo haberse dedicado a la poesía, Shakespeare ya habría pasado a la historia por poemas como Venus y Adonis, La violación de Lucrecia o los sonetos. Sin embargo, si hay un campo en el que Shakespeare realizó grandes y trascendentales logros fue en el teatro; no en vano es el responsable principal del florecimiento del teatro isabelino, uno de los mascarones de proa de la incipiente hegemonía mundial de Inglaterra. A lo largo de su carrera escribió, modificó o colaboró en decenas de obras teatrales, de las cuales podemos atribuirle plenamente treinta y ocho, que perviven en nuestros días gracias a su genio y su talento. Cuento extraído de Tragedias de Shakespeare, de 451Editores, autorizado por el autor Andrés Barba para su publicación en Historias para ser leídas. Andrés Barba, Licenciado en Filología Hispánica, es autor de la novelas 'La hermana de Katia', finalista del premio Herralde de Novela, 'Ahora tocad música del baile' y 'Versiones de Teresa', premio Torrente Ballester, así como el libro de relatos 'La recta intención'.

Música Epidemic Sound con licencia premium para este podcast Cierre opera Verdi, Eva Rydén swedish soprano sing "Ambizioso spirto...Vienni t´affretta" from the opera Macbeth - Verdi. Hay nombres que no conviene pronunciar en voz alta. Nombres que cargan con siglos de sombras y supersticiones. Entre ellos, uno en particular: Macbeth. Shakespeare escribió esta tragedia hacia 1606, y con ella puso en escena no solo la ambición y la sangre de un noble escocés, sino también los susurros de tres brujas que, dicen, hablaban con un lenguaje demasiado verdadero. Hechizos reales, robados a quienes no perdonan la profanación. Desde entonces, la obra arrastra un halo maldito. Se cuenta que cada vez que alguien osa pronunciar su título dentro de un teatro, la desgracia acecha. Para evitarlo, existe un ritual: salir, girar tres veces sobre sí mismo, escupir al suelo, lanzar una blasfemia y pedir permiso para volver a entrar. ¿Exageración? Quizá. Pero en los pasillos oscuros del teatro, donde la ficción y la realidad se rozan, más de un actor prefiere no tentar al destino.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 458 - The Greatest of Them All, Part Two“In Episode 1, we followed Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon to the bustling streets and theatres of London, watching him experiment with history, tragedy, and love. But the story doesn't stop there. From these early works, Shakespeare climbed higher, perfecting his craft and tackling the deepest questions of humanity.Take Hamlet, for instance. Here is a prince torn between revenge, morality, and his own inaction. With the simple, yet profound, words ‘To be, or not to be…,' Shakespeare captures a question that has haunted humans for centuries: what does it mean to act, and what does it mean to live? In King Lear, he explores family, power, and madness, peeling back the layers of human pride and vulnerability. In Othello, we watch jealousy and manipulation destroy trust, while Macbeth examines ambition, guilt, and the blurred lines between fate and choice. In each play, characters are no longer symbols or types—they are fully human, with thoughts, fears, and contradictions that mirror our own.That's like a musician dropping three platinum albums in twelve months. Shakespeare wasn't just producing — he was redefining what theater could be.This is the run that still leaves critics gasping: the great tragedies. Between about 1600 and 1608, he wrote Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. It's the Shakespeare equivalent of The Beatles going from Help! to Sgt. Pepper in a handful of years.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Comments made by a Connecticut lawmaker are not sitting well with many. Last month, the Relief for Connecticut Borrowers Working Group convened to propose policy directed towards student loan assistance. In that August meeting, co-chair and State Representative Kavros-DeGraw, of Avon, was emphasizing the importance of a college education when she referred to workers without a college degree as “burdens.” We spoke about it with State Representative Tim Ackert, an electrician, business owner, and longtime advocate for growing our skilled labor workforce.

Eric and Andrea dive deep into this quirky British cozy mystery series, unpacking the standout episodes, character dynamics, and whether it earns a place alongside favorites like Rosemary & Thyme and The Coroner.

Send us a text The Greatest of Them All - Part 1Now when I first decided to have a series of podcast episodes dealing with what I believe are the 25 most influential writers, it seemed easiest and most effective to have one episode for each writer. But I soon found that William Shakespeare easily deserved several episodes - so I'm going to devote two episodes to Shakespeare because of his importance to the English language and creativity -still fully realizing that's not enough.Anyway, If you visit Stratford-upon-Avon today, the first thing you'll hear is that William Shakespeare was born in 1564. We don't actually know the exact day, but we do know he was baptized on April 26th at Holy Trinity Church. Since baptisms usually happened a few days after birth, tradition has settled on April 23rd — St. George's Day — as Shakespeare's birthday. A fitting coincidence, since St. George is England's patron saint and Shakespeare would become its greatest poet.He was the son of John Shakespeare, a glove maker and part-time wool dealer who rose to become an alderman in the town, and Mary Arden, who came from a well-off farming family. That gave young Will a household connected both to trade and to old Warwickshire landowners.Like many boys of his station, he probably attended the King's New School in Stratford. The curriculum would have been heavy on Latin, rhetoric, and the classics. Day after day, he would have been drilled in the works of Ovid, Seneca, and Plautus. Later, echoes of those schoolroom authors would resurface in his plays — Pyramus and Thisbe in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Roman senators in Julius Caesar.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Hey, friend. I'm pulling an amazing episode from the archives with over 400 episodes here on the Proof to Product podcast. There is a gold mine of information for you to help you grow your business, and, frankly, it can be hard to take it all in. Today's episode is a look back at an interview I did with Paper Camp alum Ashley Sutton of Hustle and Hope on the topic of grants. A lot of grants for small businesses are due during the fall season so we thought this was a perfect time to reair this episode. Ashley is a corporate gal turned entrepreneur. Her career began with marketing and developing the perfect shade of lipstick for Avon to creating buzzworthy toys at Mattel and crafting unforgettable marketing campaigns for leading TV shows for children such as Peppa Pig and PJ Masks. She's also creating the number one best-selling marketing campaigns for authors at Penguin Random House.  As a stationery lover and a consumer products professional, her goal was to channel her career experience into a product with purpose, and that is how she founded Hustle and Hope. The first 2 in one motivational greeting card company that includes free digital guides with every single card. A certified minority and certified woman-owned business, Hustle and Hope has retail placement at Buy Buy Baby, World Market, HomeGoods, Amazon, and over 45 other shops across the US. Today, Ashley shares Hustle and Hope's origin story. She talks about her experience participating in the Target Accelerator program, and we talk about how she's been utilizing grants for her business, including how she got started applying for grants, what she looks for, and how these grants have benefited her business. She also shares resources in case you want to get started applying for grants for your business. Today's episode is sponsored by our Unlock Buyer Secrets Interview series.

Directed by Yaël Farber (King Lear, Olivier-nominated Macbeth for the Almeida), and featuring double Olivier and Tony Award-winner Bertie Carvel (Matilda The Musical), Madeline Appiah, Aïcha Kossoko and John Light this reimagined tale is brought vividly to life through Soutra Gilmour's elemental set and costume design, and striking lighting design by Tim Lutkin.

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we are joined John McCahan who is a Customer Experience and Service Executive Leader who has transformed CX across industries including automotive, banking, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and most recently at FTD, where he led its post-bankruptcy customer experience transformation. Currently a Board Member of FullCircle and Advisory Board Member for Execs in the Know, John's career spans leadership roles at Avon, Milacron, Fifth Third Bank, Target, and Equifax, as well as eight years of service as a U.S. Army Captain. He was recently named one of the “100 Leaders Transforming Customer Experience.”In this conversation, John shares how his journey into CX began unexpectedly after his military career, when he was asked to lead an underperforming contact center. He discovered his passion for helping people help others and driving organizations to improve execution in service delivery. He emphasizes that customer issues often stem not from frontline staff but from organizational execution failures.Top Competencies for Exceptional Service Delivery John identifies three critical behaviors that cut across all industries:Meet customers where they want to be met—via phone, chat, AI, or digital channels, adapting to customer preferences across demographics and cultures.Leverage frontline insights—agents hear customer issues daily and provide the most accurate view of recurring problems. Fixing root causes reduces unnecessary contacts and strengthens customer trust.Embed CX into company culture—true transformation happens when CX is embraced across the entire organization, not just by service teams.Convincing Leadership of CX Value John shares strategies for professionals struggling to gain executive buy-in: (1) identify and track metrics that matter, (2) ensure CX leaders have a voice where decisions are made, and (3) live customer centricity through action. He highlights loyalty and lifetime value (LTV) as vital measures, citing FTD's success in more than doubling its LTV by shifting from transactional interactions to long-term relationships. He also stresses patience—cultural change takes years, not months, to take hold.Vendor and Partner Alignment John's credo, “Find vendors and partners that fit your business,” underscores his belief that success requires alignment in vision, culture, and technology. He shares examples where misaligned outsourcing relationships caused friction, while true partnerships created collaboration, transparency, and innovation. He draws on military principles such as “Fail fast, fail early, fail small” and occasionally “Ask forgiveness, not permission” to illustrate how decisive leadership can accelerate progress.AI and the Future of CX For John, AI is not about replacing people but enhancing effectiveness. He uses Microsoft Copilot daily and is especially excited about the potential of Agentic AI—intelligent systems that anticipate and personalize experiences. He imagines applications like concerts or restaurants where AI tailors interactions to individual preferences, turning ordinary transactions into memorable moments.Books and Inspirations Two books deeply influenced his leadership: Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, which taught him to embrace change, and Would You Do That to Your Mother? by Jeanne Bliss, which reinforced empathetic, customer-first leadership. He illustrates this philosophy with a powerful story of a loyal 91-year-old customer sending monthly flowers to his wife, showing how empowered, compassionate agents can turn service failures into loyalty-building experiences.Listeners can connect with John on LinkedIn.

Ron Robinson is the founder of BeautyStat and the cosmetic chemist behind Hailey Bieber's skincare line, Rhode. Robinson began his career at Clinique in the '90s and, over the past two decades, has worked on products for industry giants like Revlon, Avon, L'Oréal, and Lancôme. He launched BeautyStat as an educational platform for beauty enthusiasts in 2009 but ultimately moved into developing his own product line in 2019 with the launch of his groundbreaking, ultra-potent vitamin C formulation. Celebs took notice, and Hailey Bieber quickly reached out to bring him on as a partner in what would become Rhode. In this episode, Robinson chats with Who What Wear Beauty Director Erin Jahns about the science behind successful products and which ingredients are worth the hype.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
