In the headlines today, a foreign man is being sought in connection to an assault on Bangla road, then a Bangkok gelato customer demands answers after biting into shards of glass, back in Phuket, cannabis inspections reveal hundreds of expired licenses, in crime news, we have a lineup of some of the dumbest criminals you've ever heard of, and finally in some feel good news, Thailand ends its eight years formula 2 drought with a podium placement.

Two crossed pencils, a sheet of paper marked yes and no, and a name spoken twice — and by the time an Italian priest was called into a Calabrian primary school, the children had already asked Charlie their questions. | July 19, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Just because the Ouija board is made by a board game manufacturer does not mean it should be treated like a toy – as many have discovered. *** The similar game, Charlie Charlie seems more innocent – but is so dangerous that in one school where children were playing it, they had to call in an exorcist. *** And you never know when playing any of these types of games what kind of spirit you might be inviting into our realm – but I can tell you this…. It's never good. They might pretend to be good, but that's far from the truth. And one particular demon has found notoriety through the Ouija board community, a demon you don't want to risk opening a door for. It's name is Zozo.==========HOUR TWO: Did lost cosmonauts make it into space before Yuri Gagarin? (The Tombs in Space) *** Don't take a gift from Gracie Watson's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (Gracie's Ghost) *** Did Bonnie Scott run away? Was she kidnapped? Murdered perhaps? All anyone knew was that no one had a clue where she was. She had simply disappeared without a trace. (The Murder of Bonnie Leigh Scott) *** A latchkey kid comes home to an empty house… or so they thought until they heard footsteps in another room. (The Laundry Room)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People often encounter strange and frightening things when they experience sleep paralysis – but in one particular story, the horrors began well before going to bed. (Sleep Paralysis in Bangkok) *** Samuel Joselyn was buried in 1810 in a North Carolina cemetery.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Samuel was actually DEAD at the time of his burial! (Buried Alive in Wilmington) *** in 1894 Rosa Lochner was a witness to murder, but she had been deaf since birth and her spoken vocabulary was limited. So how could she testify against the accused? (Murder In Pantomime) *** A boy wakes to find his previously closed curtains now open – and the only explanation involves a previous resident of the house he's now living in. (Strange Manifestations) *** Mention the word “Chupacabra” and most people will think of a strange, hairless dog-like animal. They are never described as having the ability to fly… until now. (Winged Chupacabras) *** These UFOs aren't shiny metallic discs or cigar-shaped spaceships. They are humanoid – and they fly without the help of a jetpack, wings, cape or even a broom to sit on. And the sightings are still coming in all throughout Mexico. (The Flying Humanoids of Mexico) *** The North Carolina Cherokee have a story about how dangerous it can be even near a calm river – where the waters can suddenly foam and a giant beast can appear on the rocks. (James and the Giant Leech) *** Supernatural women, shadowy men, odd animal sightings, and more… they can all be found at late-night truck stops if you're not careful.

On June 10, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York returned two pieces of artwork to Cambodia: an Angkor statue and a sandstone lintel. It's the latest repatriation effort by the U.S.'s premier art museum, and the third time the Met has had to give up Cambodian artifacts specifically. Matthew Campbell's The Man Who Stole The Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy (Penguin, 2026) dives into the story of the Cambodian antiquities trade, from looted temples in the Cambodian forests, through dealers in Bangkok like Douglas Latchford, and then into museums and billionaire homes in the West. And he also digs into how this trade fell apart: How the U.S. Department of Justice and activists in Cambodia pressured dealers and museums like the Met to give this art back. Matthew is an award-winning reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek. His previous book, Dead in the Water—co-authored with Kit Chellel—was selected as a Book of the Year by The Economist, the Financial Times, and The Times. Matt has reported from more than twenty-five countries on crime, corruption, terrorism, economics, and the environment.

Episode 100 is here, and I am recording it on my iPhone from a makeshift desk in Bangkok, where I am living and running my whole business for the next four months. Three years ago I turned on a microphone with no plan and no idea if I would make it to episode 10. This one is not a highlight reel. It is 10 things that 100 episodes have taught me, and more than anything, it is a thank you.In this episode:It did not start as a podcast Episode one was never meant to air. Why you do not have to have it all figured out to begin, and how to start messy.Slower served everyone better Why I moved from weekly to two episodes a month, and how the pace that gets recommended to you is not always the right one.Value your time, not just your work The year of no, why boundaries protect your time, and why I choose the word value over worth.I learned to love the quiet How solitude went from something I avoided to the thing I would protect first.Shut up and listen What 100 guest conversations taught me about listening, choosing whose advice to take home, and why not all advice is good advice.Build it so it runs without you The Bangkok lesson. A business that cannot run without you is not freedom, it is a job you cannot quit. Build your systems now.AI is the taskmaster, I am still the brain How I actually use AI in my business, where I leaned in too hard early on, and why nothing hits the public eye without me.I am not here to yap Why the loudest voice in the room is not always the one worth your time.Free does not mean it costs nothing A personal ask about feedback, and why we should tell the baker the bread was good.You don't have to do any of this The one I most want you to hear. Take what serves you and leave the rest.If these 100 episodes have given you anything, here is the birthday gift that helps most: leave a review and set the podcast to download automatically. That is how a show like this gets found, and how the next 100 reach more designers.Come see what I have been building at mcclainmethod.com, where all the new products in the shop are laid out so it is easy to find exactly what you need.Follow along on Instagram @themcclainmethod.Text Me a Message!FREE VIDEO TRAINING DIRECT FROM JOHN:Design feels natural.The business side doesn't.Join this free 39-minute training for interior designers and learn the 3 secrets to building a profitable, stress-free design business without burnout or chaos.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports relatives and friends of Thai fire victims collect bodies in Bangkok as the death toll climbs to 32.

In the headlines today, a hotel blaze in Chiang Mai sees guests fleeing for safety, then, a random Thai man presenting himself as a government official spreads misleading information about the deadly nightclub fire in Bangkok, also, a karaoke venue has returned 150,000 baht after a billing dispute in what appears to be an increasingly common scam, in visa news Thailand is reinstating 30-day visa-free stays for Indian visitors, and a little later the Prime Minister shares the stage with the Nene Royal after she represents the country on America's Got Talent.

Stuart Ward grew up on a council estate in Exeter, England, obsessed with pirate radio, chart positions, and — oddly — record labels. That obsession, plus a teenage belief that Sweden had cracked the code on a fairer society, eventually carried him across the North Sea, first as a chartered accountant, then as one of Swedish television and radio's most recognisable voices for decades.Stuart hosted Night Flight Scandinavia and Top Gear Nordic (a name he lifted straight from John Peel's old BBC show, nothing to do with cars), interviewed everyone from Paul McCartney to Barry Humphries to Pelé, ran the Polar Music Prize — often called the Nobel Prize of music — and, in between all of it, tried and failed to build a political career in the UK Labour Party before finding his footing instead in Swedish politics. He also spent over a decade at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok and lived in Thailand for eighteen years.In this episode, Stuart and host Bob Wells talk about chasing a dream with zero self-confidence, what changes when you go from radio to television, the etiquette of never looking starstruck, and why curiosity — not talent — might be the real secret behind a rich life.In This Episode You'll LearnHow a working-class boy from Exeter who could name every record label on the UK charts ended up in the Swedish music businessWhy Stuart moved to Sweden as a chartered accountant in 1973 — and why he stayedThe real story behind the name "Top Gear Nordic" (hint: it's a John Peel tribute, not a car show)What it was like trading a UK parliamentary candidacy for a life with the man he loved, at a time when that wasn't something you talked about openlyThe unglamorous technical side of early live TV versus the freewheeling looseness of radioWhy one veteran cameraman told Stuart he had a rare gift for getting people to open up on cameraStuart's interviews with Paul McCartney (who ended up interviewing him), Barry Humphries/Dame Edna, John Cleese, Pelé, and Björn BorgThe Swedish concept of Jantelagen — a kind of built-in social suspicion of standing out — and how it echoes attitudes Stuart encountered growing up in EnglandHow Stuart came to run the Polar Music Prize, founded by ABBA's co-creator Stig Anderson to bridge classical music's snobbery and popular music's lack of respectWhy the King of Sweden presents the Polar Music Prize the same way he presents the Nobel Prizes — and the historical reason the Nobel Peace Prize alone is awarded in Oslo, not StockholmThe office politics and "dinosaurs" Stuart contended with while running a prestigious international prizeLife after presenting: over a decade working at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok, eighteen years living in Thailand, and returning to Sweden to restart his political career with the Social DemocratsWhy door-to-door canvassing at 77 has led to some surprising language moments — including conversations in fluent Thai that stopped Swedish neighbours in their tracksStuart's take on what actually produces a zest for life: curiosity, self-belief, and refusing to assume the world only exists in whatever room you happen to be standing inResources;The Polar Music Prize Royal Swedish Academy of MusicYouTube: Stuart Ward Top GearQuestion or comment?

This week I'm sitting down with Anthony from @AnthonyvsWorld, a fifty-two-year-old former Air Force flight engineer who traded a half-million-dollar house and a Corvette for one suitcase and a one-way ticket to Thailand. Two years later, he's built a following of over thirty-seven thousand. An early run of videos pulled in twenty-five million views in his first month alone without moving his follower count much at all, then months later one solo video, this one with 1.5 million views, sent his followers from six thousand to thirty thousand in about a week. Along the way, he also survived a fake HIV accusation, threats from an ex's new boyfriend, and started handing cash tips to strangers just to film their reaction. Fair warning, this one is raw. Everything Anthony shares here is his own personal experience and opinion, not a statement from this channel about Thailand as a whole.In This EpisodeHow one solo video with 1.5 million views sent Anthony's followers from six thousand to thirty thousand in about a week, after an earlier run of videos had already pulled in twenty-five million views without moving his follower count at all.The real financial picture behind expat life in Thailand: VA disability, selling a house back in Texas, and why he stopped chasing brand dealsA defamation situation that cost him close to fifty thousand baht, and what Thai law actually says about posting video of someone without their consentFake accounts, a false HIV accusation, and threats from an ex-girlfriend's new boyfriendThe story behind his "100 versus 1000 baht" giveback series and why he started giving cash to strangers on camera.
