Send me a photo. If you're in a Celtic band, send me an audio recording of you performing live. Just audio. I'll use it in a podcast episode later this year. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Jeff Suggs emailed about how to shuffle music on Android: "Mark, I use the free version of Shuttle.  It allows shuffling by album or by song.  Keep up the good work on the Podcast" Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Good morning in balmy Great Britain. Ah ha! The music only is Thursday. Thank you for that.  I'll ignore what arrives early and capture the tunes on Thursday. I work with words and the talk version interrupts my train of thought. I usually edit the show in my audio editor and take out the songs with singers.   I like that music but i cant work with singing… Over time I mash up a dozen of your shows, (instrumental music only and then let that run for hours. The music only version is just that much less editing to get to my goal. Keep it up. I love the show I do listen to the word version sometimes just to hear if I made the comments section." Jim emailed back in February: "Dear Marc Gunn The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast first landed in my feed when I was still carrying an iPod. I'd listen to the current episode and catch up the previous installments on the drive to and from work. Learning about various Celtic bands from all over the planet expanded my world view and allowed me to support those independent artists. I applaud your response to last week's challenging criticism and offer my financial support (finally) for the podcast. You will not be getting a photo showing what I'm doing while listening to the podcast because it's my companion during house work. As they say on Firefly, "See you in the verse". PS The Wicked Tinker's "Aiken Drum" (Big Bottle of Bad Ideas) is not a contemporary rebel song, but may help illustrate your point."

This is a Vintage compilation from 2010.Why This Episode MattersA Real Housewives of New Jersey cookbook introduces one particularly memorable piece of dietary advice: avoid “stripper food.”“Juicy bits from Joe” require Mark to summon his Nutley Italian accent. Things deteriorate from there. A New York Times story about changing bachelor parties sparks a conversation about great food, excessive drinking and what actually makes a night memorable.Then come the restaurant stories: security deposits, chicken suits, and three unexpected strippers.The ConversationMark Pascal and Francis Schott find the ridiculous side of food, restaurants and the ways people celebrate.First, a cookbook associated with The Real Housewives of New Jersey offers some reasonable food advice and one rule Mark and Francis are unlikely to forget: never eat anything that could also be a stripper's name. Cookie, Candy and Cupcake quickly lead to Bambi, Bunny and the question of what Michael Pollan would make of all this.Then a story about increasingly food-focused bachelor parties gets them talking about why a great meal might be more memorable than the traditional blowout. Naturally, this leads to their own restaurant experience including a three-page rulebook that clearly existed for a reason and a bachelor party that somehow acquired three strippers from elsewhere in the building.Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

We come to the end of this series of bad ideas with a conversation with neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan about the problems of living in an age of diagnosis, when all medical conditions need a label and new labels appear all the time. What happens when the classification criteria for conditions like autism and ADHD get broader and broader? Are doctors or patients driving this? When does predictive testing do more harm than good? Why does advocacy for sufferers get in the way of good health? Is de-diagnosis achievable?

Today's bad idea is one with a very recent history but also a long backstory: David talks to author and journalist James Marriott about what happens when the written word gets supplanted by video and when videos get shorter and shorter. Did the rot set in with television, with YouTube or with TikTok? Is short-form video a symptom or a cause of our shrinking attention spans? What does it mean to have a TikTok prime minister? And is there any way to get people reading again?  The New Dark Ages by James Marriott is out next month https://bit.ly/3TJR7zd You can find out everything you need to know about this podcast – who we are, what we do, plus upcoming events and full lists of all episodes including PPF+ bonus episodes on our website https://www.ppfideas.com Next time in The History of Bad Ideas: Overdiagnosis Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's bad idea is also one that is very hard to pin down: David talks to writer and literary scholar Ian Ellison about the concept of decadence, which went from explaining the fall of ancient Rome to becoming a label modern artists wanted to claim for themselves. What makes a society decadent? Is it always a bad thing? When does decadence explain what's happening and when does it distract from what's happening? Was Weimar Germany the best of decadence or the worst of it? And how decadent are we today? Out now on PPF+: a bonus episode to accompany this series in which David talks to political historian David Klemperer about the idea of social credit, which promised to save the world in the 1920s and 1930s and ended up doing nothing of the sort. A fascinating story of cranks, conspiracy theorists and crypto-fascists with curious echoes in Silicon Valley today.

Today's bad idea spans literature, film, pop culture and plenty else besides: David talks to literary critic and memoirist Catherine Taylor about what's wrong with romantic heroes, from Byron and Heathcliff to James Dean and Jack Kerouac to Bridget Jones's Mr Darcy and Andy Burnham. How did Romanticism give rise to the template for the brooding outsider who gets the girl? Which was the only Bronte sister to see through the myth? Why do romantic heroines get such a raw deal by comparison? And why does this idea lead to so much bad male behaviour?

Today's bad idea is one the United States has been stuck with for a long time: David talks to historian of America Adam Smith about the damage done by the idea of the electoral college. Why was it thought necessary by the Founders to have special electors between the voters and their choice of president? What made it a dead letter almost as soon as it was created? How has it served to distort or discredit electoral outcomes? When, if ever, will it be replaced and if so by what?

Level up your leadership: https://forms.gle/nqRTUvgFrtdYuCbr6 Have you ever walked through a building and assumed you knew enough to be a civil engineer? When game dev leaders look at design, narrative, or engineering problems and think, "I could do a better job than that," they often mistake surface-level observation for actual craft expertise. In this episode, Benjamin Carcich breaks down why smart leaders fall into the trap of second-guessing specialized disciplines—from game design to AI-assisted engineering—and how "swooping in" with uninformed solutions damages your game and your team's trust. What You'll Learn in This Episode What "armchair quarterbacking" actually costs your studio and why leaders easily fall into the trap of oversimplifying complex disciplines. Why every game development decision is a series of trade-offs (pros vs. cons), and why untested ideas always look pristine in your head. How to apply Chesterton's Fence to understand why a system exists before trying to tear it down. How to give feedback as a leader by focusing on root problems and asking curious questions rather than mandating solutions. If you're a leader in game dev who wants to stop accidentally undermining your experts and start giving feedback that actually elevates your team, this episode is for you. Connect with us:

Hosts Willis and Kevin riff through a fast, funny inventory of cultural oddities that somehow stuck: pet rocks, Chia Pets, Crocs, and sandals-with-socks. Between goofs about sock puppets, Anita Baker, and wine bottle stoppers, they trace how silly novelties became moneymaking trends. The conversation bounces from garage-sale nostalgia to household quirks, with recurring bits about marital teasing, fart blame games, and nostalgic movie references. This episode is equal parts nostalgia and snark: a lighthearted look at how dumb ideas gain traction and why people keep buying into them despite their ridiculousness.

Today's episode in the history of bad ideas is about one of the central ideas in modern philosophy: utilitarianism, or the view that what matters is the greatest happiness of the greatest number. David talks to philosopher Nikhil Krishnan about how something that sounds so intuitively unobjectionable can produce some extremely objectionable outcomes. What is utility and how do we measure it? Does being a utilitarian actually make you happier? Whose pleasure and pain gets to count? And what happens when killing an innocent person will save many others … should we do it? Out tomorrow on PPF+: part two of this conversation in which David and Nikhil explore some of the political implications of utilitarianism from what it means for democracy to how it was used to justify colonialism.

Mark Thornton opens with an update on the “Stocks versus Manure” prediction contest, where agricultural stocks are beating the S&P 500 year to date. He then joins Maggie Lake on Wealthion to discuss gold, silver, mining stocks, Kevin Warsh, Fed policy, interest rates, the dollar, and why the long-term thesis for precious metals rests on debt, deficits, monetary inflation, and financial repression.On Side B, Thornton appears on NTD to discuss the rising appeal of democratic socialism among younger Americans. He argues that young voters are reacting to real burdens—debt, unaffordable education, healthcare, housing, and Social Security promises—but are being drawn toward policies that cannot solve them. Mark also explains why socialism fails in theory and practice, from the calculation problem to incentives, and why education is essential to reversing the trend.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of The Origins of the Federal Reserve through July 31.

Today's bad idea is a pervasive political myth: the notion that what really matters at election time is political leadership. David talks to political scientist Jane Green about why leaders are less important than they – and we – tend to think. What does shape how people choose to vote? Why do we consistently overstate what leaders can do? Did Blair or Johnson or Starmer really ‘win' their elections? Can Andy Burnham buck the trend?

David talks to historian and broadcaster Greg Jenner about the surprising history of the idea of celebrity, from Roman generals to 18th-century child stars to contemporary pop culture icons. How is celebrity different from fame or renown? What makes celebrity so seductive, so pervasive and, sometimes, so dangerous? Why are celebrity culture and commercial culture inextricably linked? And what are the lessons from the celebrity of Michael Jackson?

Today's episode is about a bad idea with a very recent history: David talks to political historian David Klemperer about the dangers of deliverism. When did the view that delivering for the voters is a good idea become so controversial? What does it get right and what does it get wrong about how elections are decided? Has politics become more about telling the right story than about delivering the right benefits? And is Andy Burnham a deliverist, a post-deliverist or something else?

Johnny Mac records Daily Comedy News from a dark basement during a multi-day power outage as out-of-state crews reconnect lines. He reports a People Magazine item claiming Adam Sandler quickly agreed to officiate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding and kept it low-key, and notes he couldn't pull a planned Michael Loftus comment due to no internet. USA Today quotes comedians criticizing Louis CK's Netflix return, including remarks from Margaret Cho, W. Kamau Bell, and Steve Hofstetter; Mac adds an anecdote about Hofstetter's past album art targeting Larry the Cable Guy. He discusses a Rob Shuter Substack claiming Stephen Colbert is struggling after his show's cancellation and is writing, including work on a Lord of the Rings film. In a “Bad Ideas” segment he covers Leslie Jones' HGTV series Roast My Rental, Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast network launch, and Armisen/Brownstein's Portlandia rewatch podcast. He also mentions Bobby Flay enjoying golf with Colin Jost and profiles UK satirical candidate Count Binface (formerly Lord Buckethead).00:48 Sandler Officiates Swift02:12 Outage Script Chaos02:41 Comedians on Louis CK04:44 Colbert Cancellation Gossip06:11 Bad Ideas Segment06:14 Leslie Jones Rental Roast07:54 Chelsea Handler Podcast Network09:42 Portlandia Rewatch Podcast11:01 Bobby Flay Golf Talk11:42 Count Binface Politics Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac is a daily podcast covering comedians, stand-up comedy, late night television, and the comedy industry.

Today's bad idea is a way of doing history: David talks to historian Alec Ryrie about the seductions and pitfalls of narrative history. Why do we need more Herodotus and less Thucydides?

For the first in a new set of episodes about bad ideas with interesting histories David talks to the writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis about hysteria, an ancient idea that became a very modern diagnosis. Why was hysteria associated with both madness and saintliness? How did Charcot and then Freud use hysteria to rationalise otherwise baffling female behaviour? What happens when group hysteria takes hold? And why do we still find it so hard to do without these kinds of labels?

You've launched things that seemed solid, only to watch them unravel for reasons that felt obvious afterward. That's not a judgment problem. For ADHD founders, retrospective clarity comes naturally. The pre-mortem is a tool that pulls that clarity forward, to the start of a project, when fixing problems is still cheap.Skye and Robbie break down the pre-mortem method, developed by cognitive psychologist Gary Klein and later popularized by Daniel Kahneman, and explain why it fits ADHD-wired brains in particular. ADHD founders tend to communicate broad vision without the full set of dependencies, leaving teams misaligned and triggering micromanagement loops. They're also prone to hyperfocused tunneling in the wrong direction. The pre-mortem interrupts both patterns before they cost you.They also cover how to use it as a minimum viable test. Before a prototype, before a hire, before a pivot, spend an afternoon stress-testing the idea. Sometimes the right output is: don't do this.What We CoverWhy ADHD founders naturally access retrospective clarity, and how to use it at project start instead of after the factHow incomplete vision communication creates micromanagement loops, and what the pre-mortem does to close that gapThe novelty bias and hyperfocus tunneling problem, and why planning for failure acts as a directional checkHow to run a pre-mortem solo, with a team, or with AI, including a specific reverse prompting approachWhy a half-day pre-mortem with AI or a mentor counts as your minimum viable test before any build P.S. Losing work because the admin layer around your business can't keep up with you? Invisible Systems is a 90-day done-for-you sprint where I (Skye) extract the processes from your head, build the operating layer, and find the right person to run it.

White letters on a tire sidewall look like a small detail, but they carry decades of meaning. That bold ring of text became a calling card of 1960s and 1970s muscle cars, street racing, and the idea that performance should look like performance. We break down why the trend exploded, why it's showing up again in today's vintage and retro builds, and how branding and aesthetics can steer a tire choice just as much as the practical stuff. We also get specific about how white letter tires are actually made. Raised white lettering is built into the tire during manufacturing, using white rubber that's molded and cured with the rest of the sidewall for long-term durability. Painted white lettering is applied after the tire is cured, which opens the door for customization but usually demands more maintenance. From smart cleaning habits to avoiding harsh chemicals, we talk about what keeps letters bright, what makes them yellow, and the modern options like temporary decals or having a pro apply custom sidewall designs. Then we take a fun left turn through automotive history, from the Going-to-the-Sun Road and early road-trip culture to landmark moments tied to Healey, Porsche, Le Mans, and Ford's “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” era. We follow that with Houston driving destinations featuring hidden speakeasies, and wrap with Don's drive of the 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range, including range expectations, tech choices, weight, and what EV mileage testing really means on the road. If you like practical car talk mixed with history and real-world opinions, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review with your take: raised white letters, painted letters, or no letters at all?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

What makes someone leave a perfectly good life and start over?When Tim invited me onto his podcast to talk about personal branding, the conversation quickly turned into something much bigger. We spent 90 minutes talking about the decisions behind the life I've built, the risks I was willing to take, and why I often chose a path that made very little sense to the people around me.We talked about solo immigration, bodybuilding, entrepreneurship, growing up with post-communist money beliefs, building a business from scratch, and creating a life based on what I wanted rather than what was expected of me.We also spent a lot of time discussing personal branding and how I've used content and social media for years to create opportunities, attract clients, and stand out online without relying on viral posts.If you enjoy conversations about business, independence, entrepreneurship, and creating opportunities for yourself, I think you'll enjoy this episode.And if you're building a business, navigating a major transition, or looking at a goal that feels bigger than your current reality, this is the same work I help my clients do every day. My coaching is about turning ideas into action, making decisions fast, and creating momentum in the areas of life and business that matter most.Let's work on it: https://monikaamazur.as.me/PerformanceCoachingMonikaConnect with Tim:Instagram: @timdrummond_comPodcast: Behaviour Change CoachLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/timdrummondcom

Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett talks with Bryan “Bossman” Martin of 4 State Trucks and Chrome Shop Mafia to talk all things custom rigs, chrome, and the state of the trucking industry. Bryan shares highlights from their massive biennial truck show, including 600+ trucks, a packed convoy, and a popular “social media row” of trucking influencers. They dive into current customization trends like LED “watermelon” lights, underglow, bumpers, visors, stacks, fenders, and custom metal fabrication work that solves real storage and usability problems for drivers. The conversation also explores the challenges of attracting younger drivers to trucking, the impact of regulations and congestion, and why both believe the industry is poised to rebound despite current headwinds. Bryan closes by outlining Four State's growth through authorized dealers, a new podcast, and their powerful new app, while Jeremy connects it all back to Oakley's own truck show and commitment to supporting owner operators.

Tonight we learned three important things about crime. First, every heist starts with confidence and ends with someone on fire. Second, the moon is falling out of the sky and nobody has time to care because rent is still due. Third, if Randall says this plan only has minor consequences, we are absolutely about to get stabbed in an alley by ghost cops. Welcome to the cheerful industrial nightmare of Blades in the Dark, where the weather is bad, the economy is worse, and somehow the rats are still thriving. Show Notes We finally cracked open Blades in the Dark and immediately discovered that this game runs on stress, bad decisions, and industrialized demon blood. The crew dug into the grimy streets of Doskvol, a city powered by leviathan hunting, haunted by ghosts, and permanently stuck in the kind of rainy darkness that makes everybody look guilty. We spent a lot of time unpacking the setting because the world is tightly welded to the mechanics. You cannot separate the lore from the gameplay here, and honestly that is part of the charm. Along the way we compared the game to Dishonored, argued about whether setting guards on fire counts as a valid social skill, and accidentally pitched the greatest campaign never written about demon whale hunters sailing into the void. There was also an extended detour into whether the moon should even be visible if the sun exploded, which is exactly the kind of deeply useful conversation every RPG group eventually has. Mechanically, the game impressed us with how elegant and dangerous everything feels. Every roll is a gamble where success often comes stapled to consequences. We talked through position, effect, stress, trauma, resistance rolls, and the infamous clocks system that slowly turns every bad decision into a future catastrophe. The whole structure feels built to keep heists moving fast while constantly ratcheting up tension. What really sold us was how much the game trusts the table. Instead of stopping every five minutes to debate rules interactions, Blades in the Dark asks players to lean into the fiction, make reckless choices, and deal with the fallout later. It is a game about desperate criminals trying to survive in a collapsing world, and somehow that still sounds more stable than most adventuring parties. Materials Referenced in This Episode Blades in the Dark (affiliate link) Blades in the Dark Solo Rules (affiliate link) Evil Hat Productions https://bladesinthedark.com/downloads (Downloads Links) Key Takeaways Blades in the Dark blends haunted industrial fantasy, criminal drama, and heist storytelling into one very stylish disaster zone The setting revolves around Doskvol, a city powered by refined demon whale blood called electroplasm Ghosts are common, demons are terrifying, and almost everything in the world feels one bad day away from collapse The core mechanic uses d6 dice pools where success almost always comes with consequences Position and effect are central mechanics that determine how dangerous and impactful an action will be Stress acts as a flexible resource for pushing rolls, resisting consequences, and surviving bad situations Trauma builds up over time, forcing characters to balance risk with survival Clocks provide a simple but brilliant way to track progress, danger, faction heat, and long term problems Loadouts let players retroactively reveal useful gear instead of planning every item in advance The game strongly encourages bold choices, teamwork, flashbacks, and improvisation over careful tactical planning The crew spent an alarming amount of time discussing whether arson counts as a valid investigative technique and honestly the game supports that energy Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Caleb Epp fills in for JB, and CannCon, Alpha Warrior, Cam Cooksey, and Caleb get right into it. CannCon coins the new show slogan, "Men Unsupervised," before diving into Mother's Day recaps and NHL playoff predictions with Caleb backing the Avs over the Sabres in six. Alpha brings a full breakdown of the Savannah Bananas and all 11 rules of Banana Ball that somehow makes the strongest case yet for it being the most entertaining sport in America. Cam keeps the chaos going with a trained Florida alligator clip, a Georgia Bulldogs stadium roast, and the Uncle Otis Hennessy birthday cake that the whole crew cannot explain. The show closes on a live audience poll after watching a husband catfish his own wife headed to a Tinder date, with the chat splitting dead fifty-fifty on whether it was real. Men unsupervised.

Most folks think they're managing for ducks. Kevin Nelms says: maybe they're not.  Disking too early, spraying the wrong plants, chasing "clean fields"--it all adds up to less duck food. In this 11th installment of an ongoing Waterfowl Habitat Management series (see links below), Nelms breaks down what actually matters: timing, plant ecology, and understanding the system instead of fighting it. Cutting straight to the point, other topics include why broadleaf plants matter, how herbicides get misused, why to read labels, water pH, how water management mistakes undo everything, costly mistakes, sanctuary versus habitat, pressure over food, and much more. Bottom line: manage for ducks, not dirt.   ---------- Related Links: Wetland-Management-for-Waterfowl 2001.pdf Managing Moist-Soil Impoundments (YouTube)   ----------   Other Need-to-Hear Waterfowl Habitat Management Episodes in this ongoing series: EP 125.
