Nothing like a swim in the ocean on a hot summer day. But the movie Jaws, out 50 years ago this summer, took away some of our innocence. It still makes us all a little nervous about what’s beneath us as we paddle around. The inspiration for Jaws came from some horrifying shark attacks, including several along the Jersey Shore in July of 1916 that left 4 dead, as well as the shark attacks on as many as 150 sailors from the torpedoed USS Indianapolis in World War Two.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Backstory - When Dogs Bark & Wolves Sneak in

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell interviews Janis Winchester—a longtime Shroud researcher, speaker, and member of the Shroud 2025 Conference committee. Janis shares how her initial curiosity transformed into a faith-deepening mission to understand the Shroud's image, science, and message.Her exposure to top experts like Kevin Moran and Barry Schwortz and her use of VP8 image analysis helped her see what she describes as “unseen evidence”—particularly the blood from the lance wound and the peaceful expression on the face of the man in the cloth. These elements led her to a deep conviction: the Shroud is not just a mystery of history, but a mirror of the Gospels and the love of Jesus Christ.In her upcoming presentation at the Shroud 2025 Conference, Janis will guide attendees through the physical, historical, and scriptural evidence of the Shroud's authenticity—encouraging others to come to their own conclusions while drawing closer to the peace of God.Click here to view the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjeflZANnFQ

Ancestry Without Number Crunch: Ancestries offer flavorful features and cultural context, but they don't mess with your ability scores. Community Ties Matter: Your character's community gives you story hooks, motivations, and plenty of fuel for roleplaying. Traits are Your Stats: These determine how good you are at doing stuff—like lifting, lying, or surviving a GM's spite. Get That Gear: Equipment isn't just for show—it helps define your combat style and survival options. Background Brings the Drama: Who were you before this? Backgrounds add emotional weight and goals. Experience Evolves You: Characters can earn and spend XP to grow, change, and regret that one time they fought a horse.

Set the Stage with a Campaign Frame: The final step helps align character concepts with the world and tone of the campaign, whether you're playing light-hearted fantasy or grimdark grief therapy.

It's frustrating to pour so much effort into a business only to feel invisible in the market. When the message doesn't click, no amount of hustle seems to move the needle. People scroll past, tune out, and the heart of what you offer never really lands. The brands that stand out are the ones that find a way to make people feel something real—something that sticks. Jed Morley is the founder of Backstory Branding and author of Building a Brand that Scales. He helps companies like Lucidchart and BambooHR craft messaging that actually lands with customers. Today, he breaks down how message-market fit drives growth and why vague branding kills momentum. Jed emphasizes blending hard data with sharp storytelling to close the gap between what brands say and what audiences hear. His approach is simple: test, tweak, repeat until the message sticks.

What if science could support faith?In this gripping episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy R. Powell interviews Bob Rucker, a veteran nuclear engineer who has spent over a decade applying advanced scientific methods to the most studied relic in Christianity: the Shroud of Turin.Rucker presents a comprehensive radiation-based theory of image formation and carbon date discrepancy. By simulating the behavior of neutrons and protons in a tomb environment, he shows how the Resurrection itself could have generated the very evidence we now study.He covers:· The four evidences from the 1988 carbon dating that standard explanations cannot fully address· Why protons and neutrons released in a burst of radiation could form the image and skew the dating· His rebuttal to skeptics who claim faith doesn't need relics—and why we should care anyway· The possible link to the Sudarium of Oviedo· The deep theological implications of scientific evidence for Jesus's ResurrectionWhether you're a scientist, theologian, or simply curious, this episode offers a profound look into how God may be using the tools of science to strengthen faith.

· What if a single piece of cloth could ignite boldness in your faith? In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy R. Powell interviews Jim Bertrand, an acclaimed speaker who has delivered over 350 presentations on the Shroud across 30 states. But Jim's method is unique: he prays for each attendee for nine days before every talk.Jim explains the vital distinction that blood on the Shroud was laid down first—on Good Friday—and the image appeared later—perhaps on Easter Sunday. This detail, verified through x-rays in 1978, powerfully supports the claim that the Shroud may have captured the moment of Resurrection.He also addresses a common objection: “I don't need relics for my faith.” Jim offers a powerful response—if the Shroud is authentic and God gave it to us, our reaction shouldn't be indifference. It should be gratitude, evangelization, and deeper love for Jesus Christ.Whether you're curious, skeptical, or faithful, Jim Bertrand's message is one that bridges science and spirituality—and strengthens belief.

The FBI has had some pretty astounding moments of transformation in its 117-year history. But the bloodiest shootout in its history changed the way they do their job forever. It took place less than 40 years ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast the team learns how to build a Warhammer character that's equal parts tragic backstory, terrible life choices, and statistically improbable survival! Want to roll dice in a Greek villa, vanquish monsters in the shadow of the Acropolis, or experience horror, myth, and mayhem online or in-person? Book your next legendary session with Dungeon Master Adamantine at www.dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him at startplaying.games/gm/dmadamantine. You bring the characters—he'll bring the chaos. In this episode, the hosts brave the stormy chaos of Michigan weather and minor audio goblins to dive deep into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay character creation. From choosing your species to deciding whether your character is motivated by vengeance, coin, or the sweet smell of Middenheim sausage, the gang walks through every gritty, grimdark, and occasionally hilarious step of crafting a Warhammer persona. Whether you're rolling a rat catcher with dreams of knighthood or a noble elf who is definitely not judging the humans, this episode is your roadmap to making a character that lives, breathes, and probably dies violently in the Old World. What We Talked About (Between Coughs and Cackles) Michigan Weather Attacks Again: A brief detour into real-life weather horror before we get into fantasy horror. Species Selection – AKA “So You Want to Be a Goblin?” Humans get all the talents (and none of the respect). Dwarves are magically allergic. Species choice directly affects talents, skills, and your odds of surviving past session one. Attributes and Talents: Why it matters if your character is strong, smart, or just very good at gossip. Random rolls can turn a future hero into a chaotic gremlin with a heart of gold (or just halitosis). Skills: Basic vs. Advanced (and How to Not Die by Failing a Perception Check): Not all skills are created equal, and sometimes “Swim” really matters. Advancing your character's skills is key to surviving rats, cultists, and angry cows. Careers and Equipment: Your career defines your gear, your class skills, and whether you start with a sword or a dead ferret. Equipment makes a big difference—especially when one character has armor and another has… hope. Backstory, Motivation, and Ambition: Motivation adds depth. Like onions. Or ogres. Ambitions can be personal, professional, or deeply petty. XP bonuses reward you for actually having character goals, so “revenge on Barry the Baker” might just be worth it. Names, Physical Traits, and Psychological Flavor: A name can reveal your culture… or just make the DM sigh. Physical and psychological quirks bring your character to life—or at least make them memorable when they die. Party Dynamics and Relationships: What happens when your elf hates your dwarf and your priest keeps judging everyone? Exploring how party tensions, bromances, and grudges make the game world richer (and weirder). The Final Ingredient: Humor and Collaboration: Why character creation should be as fun as the game itself. You don't build a hero alone—you do it with friends, dice, and questionable life choices. Key Takeaways Species isn't just fluff—it shapes your whole character experience. Skills are life. Pick wisely, and don't forget “Perception” exists. Talents can turn a bland character into a legendary weirdo. Backstory + motivation = juicy roleplay and extra XP. Random rolls aren't a curse—they're an opportunity to improvise hilariously. Psychological traits help characters feel real (and often unstable). Your party is your story's emotional core—and chaotic powder keg. Character creation is where the game really begins. Embrace the madness. Be strategic. Be creative. Be weird. It's Warhammer, after all. Listen if You've Ever Wondered… How to build a character that could actually survive in the Warhammer universe. What to do when you accidentally roll “terrified of the color red.” Why “pet rat” is both an equipment choice and a career path. If being a barber-surgeon really counts as a heroic class.

In this unplanned but timely episode, Ken & Kris take a detour from their scheduled topic to explore a powerful truth: everyone has a backstory. Whether it's pain, struggle, hope, or transformation—there's always more beneath the surface.Centered around the idea that “stories tell the story,” this conversation dives into the role of personal history in shaping how people receive (or resist) the message of Jesus. The better way of Jesus isn't just taught—it's lived out in the real, messy, meaningful narratives of everyday people.You'll hear reflections on how empathy opens doors for evangelism, why leading with compassion matters, and how understanding someone's backstory can reveal the best way to share the gospel.

What if that scrap of paper you're about to throw away holds the seed of something extraordinary? This week, Kelly reflects on the power of saving the small things that might seem insignificant at first glance - from childhood journals and camp letters that sparked a writing career, to a simple bedtime story that evolved into something much bigger. You'll hear the adorable recording of Kelly's daughter Georgia ( just 2 years old at the time) telling the original "Maryanne the Faker" story about a little girl who pretends to be sick to get out of soccer practice. That simple bedtime tale would eventually become Kelly and her daughter Claire's new children's book, Marianne the Maker.
