Dave Rosa, CEO and President of NeuroOne, medtech entrepreneur, board member and former executive at St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific and C.R. Bard. With three decades in medical devices and more than $200 million raised, Dave brings a rare mix of operator, inventor and capital markets experience to the future of neurotechnology and pain care.In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest mistakes medtech companies make: building technology without enough real-world user feedback. Dave explains why innovation for the sake of innovation often fails, especially in larger companies, and why the best products are shaped by how physicians and patients actually use them. We also explore NeuroOne's unique approach of combining diagnostics and therapeutics through the same electrode, and why that kind of multifunctional platform thinking can be both clinically powerful and commercially strategic.A major theme in this conversation is regulatory strategy. Dave walks through NeuroOne's deliberate “diagnostic first, therapeutic second” FDA pathway, explaining why starting with an easier regulatory indication can de-risk the technology, shorten timelines and create a stronger platform for later therapeutic claims. We also discuss the value of reusing the same generator across multiple indications, how founders often wait too long to engage with FDA, and why platform leverage matters from both a business and development perspective.We also go deep on chronic pain and lower back pain. Dave shares why today's pain solutions often fall short, how different triggers require different treatment approaches, and where technologies like ablation, stimulation and smarter electrode design could shift outcomes. He also highlights how seemingly small user-experience issues, like frequent recharging, can destroy patient adherence and wipe out billions in company value.Timestamps[00:00:08] Why MedTech Companies Fail When They Ignore Real User Feedback[00:02:04] Innovation vs Iteration: When “New” Adds No Real Value[00:02:22] Combining Diagnostics and Therapeutics With the Same Electrode[00:03:52] Why NeuroOne Chose a Diagnostic-First FDA Strategy[00:05:21] Pain Management Today: Ablation, Stimulation and Complex Back Pain[00:08:21] What Is Fundamentally Broken in Lower Back Pain Solutions[00:09:26] How Small Patient Frictions Can Destroy Adoption and Valuation[00:11:11] The Power of Reusing the Same Generator Across Multiple Indications[00:13:00] The FDA Mistake Many Founders Still Make[00:21:15] Where Neurotechnology and Pain Management Are Heading NextConnect with Dave - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daverosa/Learn more about NeuroOne - ⁠https://nmtc1.com/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

Michele McPhee joins Mark as a guest co-host to unpack new reporting that links the Jeffrey Epstein files to the long-running lawsuit filed by families of the victims of September 11. Drawing on recently surfaced emails and court filings in the case Ashton et al v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, McPhee traces how two of the hijackers who arrived at LAX in 2000 were allegedly supported by individuals tied to Saudi intelligence and examines why multiple U.S. administrations have resisted efforts to hold Saudi officials accountable.Watch Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and all Reasonable Doubt video content on YouTube exclusively at YouTube.com/ReasonableDoubtPodcast and subscribe while you're thereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tragik-Komödie von Hermann Bohlen. Ein gestresster Autor und Familienvater holt sich in seiner Verzweiflung Hilfe bei einer KI. Und gerät immer mehr in Abhängigkeit zu dieser. Seine Teenie-Töchter sind besorgt ob der sich anbahnenden Internet-Sucht ihres Ernährers und schmieden einen kühnen Plan. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Freitag, 06.03.2026, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 F. ist Autor und alleinerziehender Vater zweier Teenager-Mädchen. Am frühen Morgen klingelt es bei ihm an der Tür: Die geleaste Drucker-/Scanner-Kombination wird von einer Servicemitarbeiterin abgeholt. Grund sind nicht bezahlte Leasing-Raten – F. ist fast pleite. Seine Situation spitzt sich weiter zu: In der Nacht hat sein Computer selbständig ein Update der Betriebssoftware gemacht, wichtige Apps funktionieren nicht mehr. Dafür funktioniert völlig ungefragt eine Software im Computer, die sich plötzlich stimmlich meldet, weil sie bei F. «ein krisenhaftes Muster der Benutzung des Endgeräts» festgestellt hat. Was genau klemmt bei F.? Darüber frei zu sprechen, sich vielleicht sogar eine professionelle Beratung zu genehmigen, kommt für F. nicht in Frage.

Bards, Rise! with host Michael Deem The Legal Siege of Bard's Rise: Federal Land Patents and the Reality of Eviction Bard's Rise: The Homesteading Saga Episode Analysis: Legal Battles, Federal Land Patents, and the Reality of Eviction (March 5, 2026) "It's a paper war. A war on who can write the best papers... but the system feels rigged against those without an attorney." — Leah & Mike, on their Pro Se legal battle Core Legal Arguments Federal Land Patent vs. Sovereign Citizen Explicitly distancing from the "Sovereign Citizen" movement to maintain legal credibility in federal court. Irreparable Harm Eviction from "Unique Property" (a custom-built 20-year home and a 60k sq ft community center) cannot be remedied by money. Procedural Failure Magistrate judge effectively denied the TRO by scheduling hearings after the eviction dates. Key Context #LandPatent #PropertyRights #ProSe #Eviction #FederalCourt Case Status Home Eviction:Completed (Mar 3) Business Eviction:In Progress Active Case 1:26-cv-163 (Choice One) Active Case 2:26-cv-449 (vs. Michigan) Appeal:6th Circuit Pending Human Impact 3 of 4 children raised in the home. Mike built the house personally 21 years ago. Massive loss of equipment and inventory (siding, tools, coffee shop gear) due to storage constraints. Host: Michael Dean | Guests: Mike & Leah Est. Reading Time: 4 mins | Length: 36:52 Introduction This episode of Bard's Rise features host Michael Dean and guests Mike and Leah as they recount the harrowing experience of being evicted from their long-term family home and business properties. The discussion centers on the legal distinction of federal land patents, the systemic challenges faced by pro se litigants, and the emotional toll of a "paper war" against institutional banking and state interests. 1. Defining the Legal Identity: Federal Land Patents vs. Sovereign Citizens A critical portion of the discussion is dedicated to clarifying the legal framework Mike and Leah are utilizing. Host Michael Dean explicitly distances their movement from "sovereign citizens," a term often used by opposing counsel to discredit litigants. Instead, they identify strictly as federal land patent holders. While the term "allodial title" was previously used by AI-generated summaries of the show, Dean clarifies that they acknowledge state regulation and are not claiming to be above the law but rather seeking to invoke specific rights granted under federal land patents. The guests emphasize that they have never identified as sovereign citizens and believe such labels are tactical attempts by the opposition to prejudice the court. Legal Framework Comparison Position Description Sovereign Citizen Often associated with total immunity from taxes/laws; rejected by the guests. Land Patent Holder Reliance on federal land grants and constitutional supremacy; subject to state law. Note: The defense relies on the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution to argue that federal land patents supersede state court eviction orders. 2. The Physical and Emotional Toll of Eviction The narrative shifts to the recent evictions of Mike and Leah from two distinct properties: their custom-built family home and a massive community center. On March 3rd, the family was forced to vacate the home they built 20 years ago and where they raised their four children. Due to the speed of the eviction and a lack of storage, they were forced to abandon significant personal property, including heavy furniture and full kitchen cupboards. The second eviction involved a 60,000 to 70,000 square foot building that served as a hub for three family businesses: a construction company, a coffee shop, and a community center. Despite having a crew of 15 people helping, the sheer volume of equipment and inventory—including commercial kitchen appliances and 80 squares of siding—meant that more was left behind and likely destroyed than was successfully moved. 3. The "Paper War" and Systemic Hurdles Michael Dean criticizes the legal system's handling of the case, specifically the magistrate judge's failure to grant a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) or preliminary injunction. He argues that "irreparable harm" was clearly established because the properties are unique—one being a former middle school and the other a custom-built home. The guests express frustration with the "rigged" nature of the system, noting that while they cite dozens of cases in their filings, the opposing banks provide minimal citations yet receive favorable treatment. Furthermore, they highlight a lack of professional courtesy from the court, claiming that their phone calls as pro se litigants go unreturned. Active Legal Cases Case 1 26cv163 vs. Choice One Bank Case 2 26cv449 Dalton v. Michigan Required for Injunction: 1. Likelihood of success on merits. 2. Irreparable harm (Unique Property). Key Data Property Size: The community center/business building is estimated between 60,000 and 70,000 square feet. Duration of Residency: The family lived in and owned their home for over 20 years (since 2005). Litigation Success Rate: Mike cites a statistic that only 12% of pro se cases typically win in court. Timeline: The current federal legal battle began around January 15th, leading up to the March 3rd eviction. To-Do Michael Dean will post the First Amended Complaint, Motion to Dismiss, and Opposition Brief for the Choice One Bank case on the show page once BBS creates it. The legal team will file the bank's reply brief on the show page as soon as it is submitted. A complaint will be filed against the State of Michigan in case 26cv449, with the court to determine the specific individual defendants. Listeners are encouraged to open a PACER account to monitor the filings for cases 26cv163 and 26cv449. The host and guests plan to provide a more positive update in the coming weeks as the case moves to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Conclusion Despite the "doom and gloom" of the recent evictions, the participants remain committed to their legal strategy. Michael Dean likens the struggle to a long-term war that must be won "one bite at a time," asserting that this case will eventually be recognized as a landmark civil rights and property fight in American history.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the AI Wars. Katie, you had some thoughts and some observations about the most recent things going on with Anthropic, with OpenAI, with Google XAI and stuff like that. So at the table, what’s going on? Katie Robbert: I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds about why people are jumping ship on OpenAI and moving toward the cloud. That’s in the news, it’s political, you can catch up on that. The short version is that decisions from the top at each of these companies have been made that people either agree with or don’t based on their own values and the values of their companies. When publicly traded companies make unpopular decisions that don’t align with the majority of their user base, people jump ship. They were like, okay, I don’t want to use you. We’ve seen it with Target and many other companies that made decisions people didn’t feel aligned with their personal values. Now we are seeing people abandoning OpenAI and signing on to Anthropic’s Claude. That’s what I wanted to chat about today because we talk a lot about business continuity and risk management. What happens when you get too closely tied to one piece of software and something goes wrong? We’ve talked about this on past episodes in theory because, up until now, software outages have generally been temporary. You don’t often see a mass exodus of a very popular piece of software that people have built their entire businesses around. Before we get into what this means for the end user and possible solutions, Chris, I would like to get your thoughts, maybe your cat’s thoughts on what’s going on. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things we’ve said from very early on in the AI space, because it changes so rapidly, is that brand loyalty to any vendor is generally a bad idea. If you were a hater of Google Bard—for good reason—Bard was a terrible model. If you said, I’m never going to touch another Google product again, you would have missed out on Gemini and Gemini 3 and 3.1, which is currently the top state‑of‑the‑art model. If you were all in on Claude, when Claude 2.1 and 2.5 came out and were terrible, you would have missed out on the current generation of Opus 4.6 and so on. Two things come to mind. One, brand loyalty in this space is very dangerous. It is dangerous in tech in general. Not to get too political, but the tech companies do not care about you, so there’s no reason to give them your loyalty. Second, as people start building agentic AI, you should think about abstraction layers. This concept dates back to the earliest days of computing: we never want to code directly against a model or an operating system. Instead we want an abstraction layer that separates our code from the machinery. It’s like an engine compartment in a car—you should be able to put in a new engine without ripping apart the entire car. If you do that well when building AI agents, when a new model comes along—regardless of political circumstances or news headlines—you can pull the old engine out, install the new one, and keep delivering the highest‑quality product. Katie Robbert: I don’t disagree with that, but that is not accessible to everybody, especially smaller businesses that view software like OpenAI or Google’s Gemini as desperately needed solutions. We’ve relied on Claude and Co‑Work, its desktop application, heavily. Over the weekend I realized how reliant I’ve become on it in the past two weeks. If it stopped working, what does that mean for the work I’m trying to move forward? That’s a huge concern because I don’t have the coding skills or resources to replicate it right now. What I’ve been doing in Co‑Work is because we’re limited on resources, but Co‑Work has advanced to the point where I can replicate what I would need if I hired a team of designers, developers, and marketers. It shook me to my core that this could go away. So what does that mean for me, the business owner, in the middle of multiple projects if I can’t access them? This morning Claude had an outage—unsurprisingly, the servers were overloaded because people are stepping away from OpenAI and moving into Claude. Claude released an ad: “Switch to Claude without starting over. Brief your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy‑paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans.” For many people the ability to switch from one large language model to another felt like a barrier because everything built inside OpenAI couldn’t be transferred. Claude removed that barrier, opening the floodgates, and their servers were overloaded. Users who had been using the system regularly were like, what do you mean? I can’t get the work done I planned for this morning. Christopher S. Penn: There are two different answers depending on who you are. For you, Katie, as the CEO and my business partner, I would come over, say we’re going to learn Claude code, install the terminal application, and install Claude code router, which allows you to switch to any model from any provider so you can continue getting work done. Unfortunately, that isn’t a scalable option for everyone in our community. My suggestion for others is that it’s slightly harder but almost every major company has an environment where you can install a no‑code solution that provides at least some of those capabilities. Google’s is called Anti‑Gravity. OpenAI’s is called Codex. Alibaba’s can be used within tools like Client or Kil. If you have backed up your prompts and workflows, you can move them into other systems relatively painlessly. For example, Google’s Anti‑Gravity supports the skills format, so if you’ve built skills like the Co‑CEO, you can bring them into Anti‑Gravity. It’s not obvious, but you can port from one system to another relatively quickly. Katie Robbert: That brings us to the point that software fails—it’s just code. What is your backup plan if the system you’re heavily reliant on goes away? We’ve always said hypothetically, “if it goes away…,” and now we’re at that point. Not only are people leaving a major software provider, they are also struggling with switching costs. They’re struggling to bring their stuff over because everything lives within the system. A lot of people are building and not documenting, and that’s a problem. Christopher S. Penn: It is a problem. If you’ve been in the space for a while and understand the technology, backups and fallback systems have gotten incredibly good. About a month ago Alibaba released Quinn 3.5 in various sizes. The version that runs on a nice MacBook is really good—scary good. It’s about the equivalent of Gemini 3 Flash, the day‑to‑day model many folks use without realizing it. Having an open‑weights model you can install on a laptop that rivals state‑of‑the‑art as of three months ago is nuts. The challenge is that it’s not well documented, but it’s something we’ve been saying for two or three years: if you’re going all in on AI, you need a backup system that is capable. The good news is that providers like Alibaba, Quinn, Kimmy, Moonshot, and Jipu AI—many Chinese companies—ensure the technology isn’t going away. So even if Anthropic or OpenAI went out of business tomorrow, you have access to the technologies themselves. You can keep going while everyone else is stuck. Katie Robbert: If it’s not a concern for executives mandating AI integration, it should open eyes to the possibility of failure. Let’s be realistic—it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but it makes me think of the panic when Google Analytics switched from Universal Analytics to GA4. The systems aren’t compatible, data definitions changed, and companies lost historic data. Fortunately we had a backup plan. Chris, you always ran Matomo in the background as a secondary system in case something happened with Google Analytics, so we still had historic data. We’re at a pivotal point again: if you don’t have a backup system for your agentic AI workflows, you’re in trouble. Guess what? It’s going to fail, it will come crashing down, and you won’t know what to do. So let’s figure that out. Christopher S. Penn: If you’re building with agentic autonomous systems like Open Claw and its variants and you’re not building on an open‑weights model first, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Today’s open‑weights models like Quinn 3.5 and Minimax M2.5 are smart, capable, and about one‑tenth the cost of Western providers. If you have a box on your desk, you can run your life on it. You’d better use a model or have an abstraction layer that allows you to switch models so you can continue to run your life from this box. I would not rely on a pure API play from one major provider because if they go away, the transition will be rough. Now is the best time to build that level of abstraction. If you’re using tools like Claude code or other coding tools, you can have them make these changes for you. You have to be able to articulate it, and you should articulate with the 5B framework by Trust Insights. Once you do that, you can be proactive about preventing disasters. Katie Robbert: Is that unique to coding tools or does it also apply to chats and custom LLMs people have built? Obviously we have background information for Co‑CEO well documented, but let’s say we didn’t. Let’s say we built it and it lived as a skill somewhere. That’s a concern because we’ve grown to heavily rely on that custom agent. What if Claude shuts down tomorrow? We can’t access it. What do we do? Christopher S. Penn: The Co‑CEO—those fancy words like agents and skills—they’re just prompts. You can take that skill, which is a prompt file, fire up Anything LLM, turn on Quinn 3.5, and it will read that skill and get to work. You can do that in consumer applications like Anything LLM, which is just a chat box like Claude. The only thing uniquely missing right now is an equivalent for Claude Co‑Work, but it won’t be long before other tools have that. Even today you can use a tool like Klein or Kelo inside Visual Studio Code, install those skills, and have access to them. So even with Co‑CEO, you can drop that skill because it’s just a prompt and resume where you left off, as long as you have all data backed up and not living in someone else’s system, and you have good data governance. The tools are almost agnostic. All models are incredibly smart these days, even open‑weights models. I saw an open‑weights model over the weekend with 13 billion parameters that runs in about 12 GB of VRAM, so a mid‑range gaming laptop can run it. Co‑CEO Katie could live on perpetuity on a decent laptop. Katie Robbert: But you have to have good data governance. You need backups and documentation, then you can move them to any other system to make it more tool‑agnostic. If you don’t have good data governance or the basic prompts you’re reusing, we’ve been talking about this since day one. What’s in your prompt library? What frameworks are you using? What knowledge blocks have you created? If you don’t have those, you need to stop, put everything down, and start creating them, because you’ll be in a world of hurt without the basics. If you have a custom GPT you use daily, is it well documented—how it works, how it’s updated, how it’s maintained—so that if you can no longer subscribe to OpenAI, you can move to a different system. Katie Robbert: That move, especially if you’re using client‑facing tools, is not going to be overly traumatic. It’s not going to bring everything to a screeching halt. Many companies think everything will halt, but we haven’t explored personally what Claude meant by a copy‑paste migration. It feels like an oversimplification of what you actually have to do to replicate your system in Claude. Katie Robbert: But the fact they’re thinking about it, knowing people are panicking, is a good thing for Claude. It’s probably more complicated. The more you build, the deeper you are in the weeds, the more complicated it will be to port everything over. That’s why, as you build, you need documentation. Katie Robbert: That’s for nerds. Katie Robbert: I’m a nerd. I need documentation because it makes my life easier. You’re the first to ask, “where’s the documentation?” Do you have the PRD? Do you have the business requirements? I’m not touching anything until we have that. It makes me incredibly happy because look how much more you’ve accomplished with these systems and how zero panic you have about the AI wars—you can use whatever system you feel like that day. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks listening, you can catch this on YouTube. This is my folder of all stuff—my Claude environment. It lives outside of Claude, on my hard drive, backed up to Trust Insights’ Google Cloud every Monday and Friday. It includes agents, document reviewers, the CFO, Co‑CEO, Katie, documentation, rules files for code standards, reference and research knowledge blocks, individual skills, and a separate folder of knowledge blocks. All of this lives outside any AI system—just files on disk backed up to our cloud twice a week. So no matter what, if my laptop melts down or gets hit by a meteor, I won’t lose mission‑critical data. This is basic good data governance. No matter what happens in the industry, if all the Western tech providers shut down tomorrow, I can spin up LM Studio, turn on the quantized model, and run it on my computer with my tools and rules. Our business stays in business when the rest of the world grinds to a halt. That will be a differentiating factor for AI‑forward companies: have a backup ready, flip the switch, and we’re switched over. Katie Robbert: If we look at it in a different context, it’s like the panic when a human decides to leave a company. You have that two‑week window to download everything they’ve ever done—wrong approach. It’s the same if you don’t have documentation for a human and no redundancy plan. If Chris wants to go on vacation, everything can’t come to a screeching halt. We’ve put controls in place so he can step away. We want that for any employee. Many companies don’t have even that basic level of documentation. If each analyst does a unique job and no one else can do it, you have no redundancy, no backup plan. If that analyst leaves for a better job, clients get mad while you scramble. It’s the same scenario with software. Christopher S. Penn: Now that’s a topic for another time, but one thing I’ve seen is the less you as an individual have fair knowledge, the more irreplaceable you theoretically are. That’s not true. Many protect job security by not documenting, but if everything is well documented, a less competent match could replace you. We saw Jack Dorsey’s company Block cut its workforce by 5,000, saying they’re AI‑forward. There’s a constant push‑pull: if you have SOPs and documentation, what’s to stop you from being replaced by a machine? Katie Robbert: I say bring it. I would love that, but I’m also professionally not an insecure human. You can’t replace a human’s critical thinking. If the majority of what you do is repetitive, that’s replaceable. What you bring to the table—creativity, critical thinking, connecting the dots before AI, documentation, owning business requirements, facilitating stakeholder conversations—is not easily replaceable. If Chris comes to me and says I’ve documented everything you do, and we give it all to a machine, I would say good luck. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s worth a shot. Christopher S. Penn: All right. To wrap up, you absolutely should have everything valuable you do with AI living outside any one AI system. If it’s still trapped in your ChatGPT history, today is the day to copy and paste it into a non‑AI system, ideally one that’s shared and backed up. Also, today is the day to explore backup options—look for inference providers that can give you other options for mission‑critical stuff. No matter what happens to the big‑name brands, you have backup options.

Today on The Literary Life podcast, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks are here to offer some helpful ideas for reading Shakespeare plays and how to approach the Bard. They start off sharing their own stories of first being exposed to Shakespeare. Next, Thomas and Angelina address the idea that Shakespeare is too high-brow for the ordinary reader. Angelina also gives her hot take on whether you should watch or read a Shakespeare play first. She also tells some stories about reading the Bard with her children and students. Some other helpful topics they cover are the different types of plays and their forms, the cosmology behind the plays, and potential problems with some modern interpretations of Shakespearean drama.  Please visit our website to view the full show notes for this episode with links to previous episodes we have done on Shakespeare, as well as the books mentioned as resources in this discussion: https://theliterary.life/318.  Join us back again here next week when we begin our series covering Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë!

One of the men whose presence in the Epstein Files has been making a lot of news is Bard College's forever president Leon Botstein. While there is no suggestion that Botstein participated in any of Epstein's crimes, his relationship with Epstein was longstanding and close. Revelations about their interactions have brought to the forefront several symptomatic issues about how colleges handle sexual assault, campus anti-rape activists, and their young charges more generally. In this episode, Moira, herself a graduate of Bard (Class of 2012, baby!) walks Adrian through what the Epstein/Botstein friendship can tell us about the last 50 years of anti-feminist politics. Here is a non-exhaustive list of articles we refer to in the episode:-- Botstein's 1999 op-ed "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood" can be found here-- Botstein's book Jefferson's Children can be found here-- Sarah Gerard's Carrie Carolyn Coco: My Friend, Her Murder, and an Obsession with the Unthinkable can be purchased here-- Reporting on the various lawsuits and Title IX investigations against Bard and its president can be found here (2015 case), here (2016 case), here (2020 case), here (2022 case)

They talk about the book as a practical roadmap for difficult times, rooted in nature spirituality and community, and built around seven themes: reconnection, respect, rewilding, regeneration, resilience, re-enchantment, and revisioning. Dana explains how she and Nate collaborated (long conversations to develop the framework, then dividing chapters by strengths), how the book uses a Druid-inspired structure (Bard/ovate/druid as community/creative practice, nature-based practice, and cosmology/magical theory), and why storytelling and visioning are central as acts of magic that shape reality. The conversation explores animism and agency in the natural world, the role of gratitude and offerings in reciprocal relationships with land and plants, the need to pair magical work with practical action, and the importance of rebuilding local, in-person community through shared meals, fires, mutual aid, and tool shares as larger systems strain. Dana also shares details on upcoming events (Plant Cunning Conference July 24–26 in central New York; Hawthorn Botanical Gathering in June) and where to find her work, including the book via major booksellers, her site (thedruidsgarden.com), and the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism (paherbschool.com).01:10 Conference and Support Updates02:32 Seasonal Check In03:20 Why This Book Now08:01 Co Writing the Book11:34 Meeting Nate and Shared Druidry15:17 Seven Rs Framework22:18 Storytelling as Magic28:19 Agency Action and Enchantment33:52 Stories Shape Reality34:13 Deprogramming Cultural Beliefs35:28 Seven Rs Roadmap38:44 Enchantment Without Overload42:25 Respect Through Animism44:29 Offerings and Deep Gratitude52:15 Reindigenizing Daily Life54:09 Rebuilding Local Community59:01 Herb School and Book Links01:02:43 Final Thanks and Wrap

Picking up a theatre and moving it across the river. Muse of Fire: William Shakespeare is moving up in the world, his name respected both at court and the theatre. Accepted by Queen Elizabeth, he is trusted to write plays for her, so long as she likes them...When one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting is found dead, almost everyone suspects murder. But who stood to gain? And are the rumours that she was with child true?Sir Robert Cecil, Elizabeth's spymaster, senses an opportunity to finally rid himself of his bitter rival, the Earl of Essex, who was seen with the girl before she died, and tasks Will to uncover the truth.But Shakespeare knows that the Earl of Southampton, his patron, is allied to the Earl of Essex. Will is caught between powerful foes. But this time, he must choose a side if he is to survive.The Bard turns sleuth once more in this fascinating second instalment in the investigations of William Shakespeare.Howard Linskey is a former journalist whose works include crime series and standalones set in the north-east, including the DC Ian Bradshaw series published by Penguin, and two espionage novels.

On this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg talks with writer, performer, and memoirist Annabelle Gurwitch about parenting an adult child while still actively shaping a creative life that refuses to behave. Gurwitch reflects on writing The End of My Life Is Killing Me while navigating stage-four lung cancer treatment, explaining why she frames the book as a “second life” rather than a comeback story, and why she deliberately avoids language like resilience and mindfulness after watching those words get hollowed out by marketing. The conversation moves between parenting, storytelling, and art with surgical specificity: Gurwitch recounts negotiating with her 27-year-old son Ezra over what stories about him can appear on the page, describes him hiding under a hoodie at her Joe's Pub show before offering a perfectly therapy-informed compliment, and shares how their relationship shifted during COVID when he moved home from Bard. She tells Ophira about being inundated with juicers after her diagnosis, her disastrous visit to a Malibu “healer” later revealed to be a litigious fraud, and the line Ezra delivers at a juice bar—“Eternal life sucks ass, Mom”—that she fought to keep in the book. Gurwitch also walks through her love of contrarian thinking, her anti–Eat, Pray, Love travel story involving a European heavy-metal band and a hotel with bleach stains and toenail clippings, and the surreal moment she opened her book-cover email in Barcelona expecting a Bernini sculpture and instead saw a chicken doing yoga, prompting Ezra to ask if there was “a story about chicken” inside.

Last November Nick and John introduced Dimitra Fimi, the magnificent maven of Tolkien Studies and Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow, to students of J. K. Rowling's work. In that discussion, ‘Reading Rowling as Myth Maker and Myth Re-Writer: A Conversation with Dr Dimitra Fimi,' she shared her thoughts about Rowling's creative use of mythology in Harry Potter but especially in the Cormoran Strike series.The Hogwarts Professor team asked her to join us again because of Rowling's yuletide charm bracelet gift to Strike fandom and the recent announcement of the Strike 9 title, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. Her insights about the Longfellow poem as a possible even likely source of the next book's epigraphs are engaging, but it is her expertise in the arcane area of miniature books as well as mythology and the light each shines on the two items attached to the last link of the charm bracelet that open up exciting possibilities.Her idea is that the Psalter on the ninth link of the charm bracelet may actually be, unlike the other tokens on the bracelet's nine links, an object that will play a part in the story, a miniature book. It turns out that one inch high books were something of an industry as curios in the 19th and early 20th century, a means of demonstrating technological mastery.Dr Fimi discussed several projects she has been a part of in conjunctions with nano-technologists and the librarians at the University of Glasgow's special collections division. The one that has the most obvious link to English literature is the ‘Tiny Alice project,' a contemporary effort to minituarize Lewis Carroll's Alice stories to unfathomable minuteness:The Tiny Alice Project has produced one of the world's smallest books: a tiny reproduction of Lewis Carroll's children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865).

Thank you for making time to join us!1. (John) Jumping right in, then, two of the charms on the Strike9 or ‘Evangeline' bracelet are Fimi areas of unique expertise: the Psalter and the Head of Persephone. I had urged readers to read your Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy at A Kind of Elvish Craft: The Dimitra Fimi Substack Site in the links after our conversation here last November but I confess to being surprised still when you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter charm after Nick and I posted our thoughts on the subject. For those who haven't read your ‘Miniature Books' post, please share how one of the world authorities on the writing of J. R. R. Tolkien became interested in the smallest of texts, the ‘Little Books' of 19th century printing.2. (Nick) So you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter, you weren't thinking as we were that the Psalter charms would be a box holding a folded up paper with a psalm, maybe two, inside it. You're thinking it might actually be a complete Coverdale Psalter? Is that possible?3. (John) What Nick and I hope to contribute to the nascent field of Rowling Studies, as you know, is a refocusing of the scholarship and the serious reader attention about her work on to her Lake Springs -- the biographical part of story inspiration -- her Shed Tools or intentional artistry, and the Golden Threads, the plot points and themes that run throughout her work, i.e., to bring Rowling Studies more in line with all literary scholarship about notable authors, living and dead.One of the Golden Threads we talked about in our Kanreki series last summer was the ‘Embedded Text,' the books inside a book topos that is in almost every book Rowling writes (Kanreki Golden Thread posts one and two). Detective fiction is always about an embedded text, the narrative ‘written' by the criminal to prevent the detective from reading the real story of what happened and Rowling-Galbraith often makes this narrative an actual book (Dumbledore Chocolate Frog Card, Tales of Beedle the Bard, Bombyx Mori, Talbot's ‘True Book,' The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus, etc.). How do you think a Psalter miniaturized book would appear in a Strike novel?4. (Nick) Has an author used a miniaturized book before in this way? Were there 19th Century Psalters that people wore as talismans or carried as the original Pocket Books?5. (John) And what about the Head of Persephone charm on that bracelet? It's on the ninth and last link, paired with that Psalter. You shared your first thought about the Persephone charm, a hopeful note, on the comment thread here. As our go-to authority on Greek mythology, I'm dying to know more of your thinking about (a) the specific charm and its relation to the Cupid and Psyche myth-template to the Strike series, (b) its pairing with the Psalter, and (c) its position as the last charm on the bracelet. Do you still think it's a sign that Robin will survive Sleep Tight, Evangeline?6. (Nick) As someone immersed in mythological studies and more than familiar with Rowling's use of myth, do you think the Jungian interpretation of that myth as the ‘actualization of feminine identity' is a better lens through which to read that embedded text or is the Spenserian lens of Eros/Anteros, False Cupid and Cupid more helpful? Or is this not a case of Either/Or but Both/And? Valentines Day Special7. (John) Rowling is a close reader and admirer of J. R. R. Tolkien, though that is more evident in the clear pointers to his work in her own work than from her interviews. How does her use of myth contrast with that of Tolkien and Lewis? (See John's 2008 post about Rowling's debts to Tolkien and the two part podcast with Tolkien scholars and Rowling Readers Dr Amy H Sturgis and Dr Sara Brown here and here for more on that influence.)8. (Nick) In an in-person meeting with UK Serious Strikers last week, Rowling shared with them and later via X with everyone the title of the ninth Strike novel, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. We're pretty sure that title refers to a song by an American Blues group called ‘The Whiskey Shambles' (story of the hunt, why Whiskey Shambles is a good bet). There is a famous poem, though, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called ‘Evangeline,' one perhaps not as famous as ‘Aurora Leigh' or ‘The Ring and the Book,' other texts Rowling may have used as back-drops to her novels, but still another poem very famous in its own time akin to those epics. Is its subject matter as good a match-up with the possible direction of Sleep Tight as the Victorian poetry back-drop is with other Rowling models?9. (John) You're a native Greek speaker; what does ‘Evangeline' mean in Greek? Is it a common name in Greece or is it a ‘Virtue Name' in the Puritan tradition of grace-filled names (cf., Credence Barebone is probably a reference to an Englishman named “Praise-God Barebone, whose son Nicholas may have been given the name If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned[3]“).10. (Nick) Don't leave before trying to tie together the pieces of this conversation! Is there a thread joining the Psalter, the Head of Persephone, miniaturized books, and the title Sleep Tight, Evangeline?Dimitra Fimi is Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow and Co-Director of the Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic.

Love conquers all this week when Cooper and Nolan tell the story of TROMEO & JULIET! This Troma-riffic take on The Bard's classic tale of star-crossed lovers features all the body piercing, kinky sex, and dismemberment you'd expect from a Lloyd Kaufman film, but what you might NOT expect is how close it actually is to the original. Despite being absolutely gobsmacked by what they're seeing, the guys still manage to make it a Valentine's Day to remember, with arguments about dating vegetarians, the relationship between body hair and creepiness, and whether or not raisins belong in any other food. No need to bring flowers or candy; this episode (featuring not one but TWO beers from the Shakespeare Brewing Company) is here and it's ready for love!

After a remarkable week, where Manchester City won at Anfield for the first time (in front of fans) in more than 20 years, David Mooney is joined by City fan Liam Wright and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss all of the talking points from the two games. They look at City's second-half drop-offs and what might be causing them, how the team is fighting through their issues to win points, and the individual performances that have helped them to two victories this week. That's before we get to the madness of what happened at the end of the game on Merseyside. It's Salford City up next in the FA Cup, in a repeat of last year's third round tie. We hear from Danny from the blog 'One Up Front' about what to expect from this weekend's visitors. Plus, when have you been at a game with the most extreme weather? Oh - and could Abdukodir Khusanov be the next Bard? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The man who would come to be known as The Bard, was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom. One of, if not the greatest playwright in human history, William Shakespeare is responsible for 38 plays, 154 Sonnets, and credited with the invention of over 600 words in the English language. We still use phrases he invented on a daily basis. The man lived the theater and had a gift for capturing the complicated nature of people, creating complex but relatable characters and doing so with a masterful use of language. The man was also an entrepreneur, owning a share of his theater company and theater itself. Performing for royalty became common place for Shakespeare as he established himself as the premier playwright in London while never forgoting his roots in Stratford-upon-Avon where his family resided. Join us today as we explore the life and works of William Shakespeare. Support the show

To record an episode about Hamnet, the new film from Chloe Zhao, or not to record an episode about Hamnet? That was the question – and a question I answered in a heartbeat when Chloe's team reached out late last year about chatting with the Nomadland writer-director. The historical drama, starring Jesse Buckley and Paul Mescal, takes viewers inside the anguish of William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes Hathaway, after the death of one of their children in 1596. In the movie, Shakespeare throws himself into his work as part of his mourning process, resulting in one of the best-loved and most influential plays of all time. In doing so, though, Agnes is left alone with just ghosts, grief and her remaining children – themselves angry and confused at Hamnet's death – for company. Adapted from an acclaimed novel by Irish author Maggie O'Farrell, who joined Chloe and I for our conversation, the film is as emotionally bruising as they come. It's a tale about parenthood, personhood, how storytellers process pain through their art and what it means to witness that. The film ends with this remarkable final scene shot at London's historic Globe Theatre in which Shakespeare has transmuted his pain into a play that both pours salt into the deepest imaginable wound for Agnes, and seemingly offers her some closure. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, the three of us get into the evolution of that moment, and other key scenes from a film that won Best Drama and Best Actress for Buckley at the Golden Globes and is expected to be in the mix at this year's Oscars. Maggie talks about the connections between this story and her other work, such as I Am, I Am, I Am – which also dealt with mortality. And Chloe reveals how she uses colour as a storytelling weapon in Hamnet – with red representing Agnes and inky blues representing the Bard himself.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a series on 1985's Ultima IV. After talking about the recent Defeating Games for Charity, we set the game in its time, talk about our encounters in the past with the series, and then dive into the manuals and the start of the game.

Mark and Gary dissect the explosive congressional testimony of Special Counsel Jack Smith. From his inability to recall who swore him into office, to questions surrounding a second oath, secret subpoenas, confidential informant payments, and nondisclosure orders involving the Speaker of the House, the hosts examine what these moments reveal about power, process, and accountability at the highest levels of the Justice Department. The conversation raises serious concerns about prosecutorial overreach and why these hearings are not getting more public attention.Watch Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and all Reasonable Doubt video content on YouTube exclusively at YouTube.com/ReasonableDoubtPodcast and subscribe while you're thereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mark is joined this week by criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson. Coming off his headline-making victory in the Karen Read retrial, Jackson offers a candid look at the pressures and pitfalls of high-profile defense work, including the emotional impact of withdrawing from the Nick Reiner case. The conversation explores how media attention, prosecutorial conduct, gag orders, and judicial decision-making can shape the outcome of a trial long before a jury deliberates.

Mark and Gary break down the sudden withdrawal of defense attorney Alan Jackson from the Nick Reiner case and what it signals about funding, strategy, and the defendant's mental state. The conversation expands to the role of public defenders, family interests in criminal prosecutions, and the broader obligations of the justice system. They also dive into a developing separation of powers fight involving federal prosecutors and judicial appointments, with implications that could reach the Supreme Court.Watch Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and all Reasonable Doubt video content on YouTube exclusively at YouTube.com/ReasonableDoubtPodcast and subscribe while you're thereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
