Rainy Days Goes Best with Dry Cider in the Barrel Room Walking into the barrel room at Oliver's Cider and Perry Company, you might think you know what to expect. But surrounded by whitewashed stone walls, standing beneath the old Hessian sacking floor, and facing rows of aging barrels, I quickly realized this wasn't just a cidery—it's a living, breathing creative space for cider making. Tom Oliver sources fruit both from his farm and from local orchards across Herefordshire. This isn't an estate cidery where everything is grown on-site—but what sets Oliver's cider and perry apart is Tom himself. A master blender with an instinct for balance, he brings character to every bottle. And while the farm may not produce every apple, it certainly imparts its own terroir through the land, the barns, and the quiet, purposeful rhythm of the work. Tom and Ria In this Cider Chat Blending Tradition with Innovation Tom is now experimenting with distillation: apple brandy, pommeau-style blends, and barrel-aged perry into brandy too! He's careful with naming, refusing to call something a “Pommeau” unless it honors French tradition. Barrels sourced from rum, sherry, port, bourbon, and white wine shape each unique blend. Tasting in the Barrel Room In the barrel room We tasted perries straight from the barrel—some from single ancient trees, others blended with gin pears or red pear varieties. Each sip revealed: Confectionary sweetness Banana, melon, pineapple notes Mellow malolactic fermentation This isn't a showpiece cidery as Tom puts it, “It's a working farm“, evolving from a hop yard and now cider. Tom calls it “just a part of the agricultural calendar.” No pretense, just purpose. Tom Oliver straddles the line between tradition and experimentation with ease. Whether it's a single-varietal showcase or a spirit-kissed blend, the goal remains the same: make cider that speaks of time, place, and people. Contact info for Oliver's Cider and Perry Co.

In this episode, we follow the desperate defense of Constantinople as Emperor Constantine XI struggles to withstand the relentless siege. Ottoman cannons hammer the walls day and night, while engineers carve tunnels beneath the city, seeking to collapse its foundations from below. The defenders cling to the fragile hope of Western aid, even as Sultan Mehmet II pushes them to their breaking point—hauling ships overland to bypass the harbor defenses and constructing towering siege engines in the dead of night to overwhelm the walls. Desperate, the Greeks fight back with every means at their disposal. Barrels of gunpowder reduce a massive Ottoman siege tower to splinters, while brutal impalements and savage retributions spread fear through both camps. Yet inside the city, political rivalries between Venice and Genoa weaken Constantine's already fragile coalition, eroding what little unity remains. With each passing day, the city's fate grows more dire... Help support the show on Patreon! Sources and Attributions on our website. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on an American doctor who volunteers in Gaza, and from Doha where medical teams work to rehabilitate children injured in the war. Who are the men President Trump sent to a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador using a wartime law dating back to 1798? The Trump administration says they are all violent gang members and terrorists. But after obtaining internal government documents, 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for most of the prisoners. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports. With a history spanning two thousand years and still playing a vital role in global commerce, the oak barrel, as correspondent Bill Whitaker discovers, is much more than just a container. Barrels are a vital ingredient, especially in the production of Bourbon Whiskey — giving it all of its distinctive color and much of its taste. Whitaker takes us inside the largest maker of wooden barrels to glimpse the magic and mystique of this essential tradition.

The fundamental nature of whiskey poses a problem for new distillers - namely that you can't sell it for at least three years after you make it. Enter Rob Robillard and Ryan La Valle of ASM Capital Partners, an investment firm that finds investors in newly barreled American single malt whiskey so that distillers don't have to lose money sitting on it while it ages.

A decade ago, if a beer spent a few months in a single bourbon barrel, its release would cause fanfare amongst craft beer obsessives. These days, beers are blended from an increasing number of different barrels for extended periods of time, so we decided to sample beers that represent an increasing number of different barrels to see if more barrels actually means better results. To help us better understand the barrel side of the beer world, we talk to Ethan Schulenberg of Midwest Barrel Company, who provides a variety of barrels for a large number of American craft brewers. He explains the role of a “barrel broker” and how he helps brewers find the right vessel for aging, among many other topics. Also, Craig shouts out Revolution's clever event planning, we challenge our highest ABV beer record, and one of us is slowing turning into E.T. by the end. Ethan Schulenberg Interview (00:06:49 - 00:45:26) Beers Reviewed Flipside Brewing - Barrel-Aged Decision Fatigue (Imperial Stout aged in Weller 12 barrels) Mikerphone Brewing - Sweet Drams, vol. 2 (Triple Mash Imperial Stout aged 27 months in Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15-Year barrels) Half Acre Beer Co. - Triple Barrel Wilderness of History (Barleywine aged in Weller, Russell's Reserve, and Cognac barrels) More Brewing Company - Roaming Elephant (Barleywine aged in Eagle Rare 10 year, Parker's Heritage 14 year, Elijah Craig 18 year, and Elijiah Craig 19 year barrels)

"The sound in my piece is made by striking the inside of an empty prosecco tank in an Italian winery. I created this piece using Ableton and wanted to make something that only used the original sample and no other additional sounds. I used the sampler and granulator to manipulate and edit the sound and then worked to create a short ambient piece that retained some of the character of the original sound whilst taking it somewhere new. "I was very inspired by the vastness and grandeur of the original sound and was curious to explore it in a more intimate setting, imagining the 'inner life' of the empty wine tanks. Some of the sounds did not behave as I wanted to or expected, but I went with the glitchiness and imagined that the barrels were gently telling me their story rather than me trying to uncover it for them, what resulted was a new kind of intimate and nostalgic fragility emerging from what was originally a quite bold and brash sound." Prosecco wine tanks reimagined by Katie Chatburn. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

This week, I talk with Nick Kolakowski about his mystery-thriller Where the Bones Lie! We dive into the inspiration for the story, his closeness to one of the characters, and how he subverted the noir genre.Where the Bones Lie SynopsisFor Dash Fuller, Hollywood's underbelly is home. He's spent years making the film industry's worst secrets disappear, and it's left him a cynical burnout with a taste for bourbon and self-loathing.But when a young woman comes to him with a peculiar quest, Dash sees a chance at redemption. Madeline Ironwood is the daughter of Ken Ironwood, a notorious smuggler and murderer who disappeared 20 years ago. Ken's skeleton has just been discovered in a barrel at the bottom of a dried-up lake, and Madeline wants to know who killed him.Dash agrees to help, and as this desperate daughter and jaded cynic claw their way through a world of sun-bleached secrets, crooked cops, and Hollywood thugs, they soon uncover a conspiracy involving some of LA's most powerful people.Learn more about Nick Kolakowski here Check out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck out the Imposter Hour Podcast with Liz and GregFollow @imbookwild on Instagram
In this episode, we dive deep into the latest pinball rumors, industry news, and some wild speculation—because why not? We kick things off by discussing what Barrels of Fun might have in store for their next game and explore possible themes like Dune, G.I. Joe, and The Goonies (links below for reference). We also chat about Wonderland Amusements and Powlowski Pinball's involvement in the scene. Then, we shift gears to talk about the ever-evolving world of home pinball—does Wonderland's new machine make sense at $799? Can it actually deliver a real pinball experience at that price point, or will it follow the same path as Arcade1Up? Speaking of innovation, we also touch on Multimorphic's P3 platform—a console-like approach to pinball that lets you swap out playfields for a completely new game. On the hardware side, we break down the latest in pinball glass—PinnGlass, JJP Invisiglass, Stern HD Glass, and Voodoo Glass. Plus, we've got some inside scoop on Stern's Venom topper—it's coming VERY soon and might introduce something completely new for a Stern topper. Will it release before TFP? We think so—probably next week! And of course, we couldn't wrap up without talking about Dungeons & Dragons Pinball! So far, it's been an absolute blast with an awesome battle mechanic, but… let's talk about those reboots and crashes. The good news? George Gomez himself confirmed a fix is coming in next week's code update. Looking to Buy a New or Used Pinball Machine?

After last month's mammoth 3-hour special, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are back with a more regular-length episode to bring you all the exciting news from the industry through the month of February in their new Pinball Industry News PINcast.The plans by American Pinball's parent company, Aimtron, to change direction were discussed at length last month. This month those plans solidified with the formation of Funsup, a new contract manufacturing company. Hear what that could mean for pinball production in the US with the ever-present threat of import tariffs.Contract manufacturing isn't always a pathway to success, as Dutch Pinball found out. However, more than ten years after they first presented the game, the final The Big Lebowski has rolled off the production line.Dutch Pinball can now focus on their next title, but they aren't the only company building a game based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book. Wonderland Amusements launch their Kickstarter campaign this month for Alice Goes To Wonderland with the latest look at the full artwork package. Will their plans disappear down the rabbit hole, or will they be grinning like the Cheshire Cat? Stern Pinball have been busy exhibiting at toy and magic shows, but they also found time to announce a new range of John Wick accessories, launch over a hundred new Insider Connected achievements and release new code, although it wasn't necessarily the big update some game owners were hoping for.There are production updates from Multimorphic, Barrels of Fun, Turner Pinball and Chicago Gaming, as well as all the latest in the Deeproot criminal and civil prosecutions.Johnathan and Martin also look back on the first Pinball at the Beach show and ahead to this month's Texas Pinball Festival where they will be hosting their popular So You Think You Know Pinball? free prize quiz on the Saturday at 5pm.So, come and join them there to walk away with lots of great prizes, and make sure you grab this latest Pinball Industry News PINcast right now from your favourite podcast supplier.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev faces his very first case as the new Rov of the city. It seems like an open and shut case- property in the possession of orphans cannot be claimed by a merchant with no document and no witnesses. But the Berditchever Rov suspects there is a deeper lesson to be learned, and his caution and patience is rewarded when the merchant remembers an event from fifty years earlier.

LaBossiere Podcast Key Takeaways World-class founders are the scarce resource: Every investor is chasing after the 5-10-15 founders a year that have a non-zero probability of rearranging the planet to their willYou either have a superpower, or you don't; you need to be in the top 1% on some dimension or you have no chance of creating the next Nvidia Identify a crack in the world where things are volatile or in transition, and build solutions that address those opportunistic gaps How to attract talent: Embrace and foster strong cultural principles that can differentiate your company from other companies – and be sure that those principles are authentic The framework for understanding when to promote comes down to whether an employee's growth rate is outpacing the growth of the company Knowing how much capital to raise: Identify the two or three inflection points that will make the startup successful, then work backward from those and calculate the capital needed to reach each of them The biggest mistake that founders make is that they don't do reference checks on investors Most MBA-esque wisdom is bad: People default to hiring because they want to manage people; new teams get created but nothing new gets done – this creates complacency and makes it challenging to tell the good employees from the bad onesThe job of the CEO is to clarify and simplify the company's initiatives, then strategically allocate resources against those goals – all done in the interest of ensuring a consistent voice It is the CEO's responsibility to disseminate as much high-signal information as possible so that everybody has the same context; doing this increases the probability that more people will naturally arrive at the correct decision Making the decision and deciding that you are going to be successful is more important than the option value of waiting Focus on inputs not outputs: People within your organization won't take sufficient risks if the perception is that results are the only thing that matters Challenge yourself: “You either want to write something worth reading, or do something worth writing about.” – Ben Franklin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgKeith Rabois is a Managing Partner at Khosla Ventures and the CEO of OpenStore, which acquires small direct-to-consumer businesses.
