François Carillon is the 16th generation of a winemaking family which traces its Burgundian roots back to 1520. Since his first vintage in 2010, François has proven his domaine to be both a worthy successor to the much-loved wines of his father, Louis Carillon, as well as making some of the most exciting modern white Burgundies. Following the retirement of Louis, the vineyards were divided between the two sons, François and his brother Jacques. Domaine François Carillon sits in the very centre of the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The wines hit the sweet spot between pristine fruit, precise acidity and textural richness, which we adore. François' sons Mathis and Paul have recently joined the domaine full time. The future is looking particularly rosy here. The 2024s were harvested earlier than usual, in the first two weeks of September by a team of 50 pickers. The grapes were immediately pressed on reception, and the juice was left in tank to cool prior to fermentation. The majority of barrels used are 350-litre capacity. Always looking to expand his horizons, François has also produced a Beaujolais Blanc this year.Corney & Barrow has been the domaine's exclusive UK agent since the inaugural 2010 vintage and are proud to work with the wines in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai
by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear The first feature-length UFO documentary was titled, appropriately, Unidentified Flying Objects with the subtitle, The True Story of Flying Saucers. It was produced by Clarence Greene and released in 1956. Researcher Robert Barrow devoted a blogspot.com site to it titled UFO: The True Story of Flying Saucers and posted from June 2008 until July 2025. In his June 12, 2008, post, “The Driving Force: Clarence Greene,” Barrow includes a statement “signed” by Greene, but he tells the reader that he found it on the web “uncredited.”According to Greene in his July 26, 1967, statement titled, “UFO: Why I Made Unidentified Flying Objects,” one night in August of 1952, a friend called his attention to something in the sky Greene describes as “a sphere of light.” They watched it for about five minutes as it moved, stopped, made turns, and then moved off over the horizon. He later learned that members of the Ground Observation Corps had also observed it. Read more →*Note: audioblogs are now a cloned AI version of Martin's voice.

Orc pods and Uruk-hai origins: lore-breaking or the best possible changes? In this episode, we dig into Peter Jackson's “orc pod” scenes and the cinematic invention of Lurtz, the alpha Uruk-hai, We also weigh Tolkien's less-than-precise lore against the movies' need for explaining the Uruk-hai—and debate just how much Jackson's changes actually fit Middle-earth. We also explore: What Tolkien actually says (and doesn't say) about how Uruk-hai were made Why “orc pods” feel a bit too much like The Matrix—and whether it helps or hurts the films Lurtz as a character: does inventing a main orc villain actually make the Boromir scene more powerful?

Most people assume owning property together is simple—until the law reveals its chaotic, high-stakes complexity. If you think co-ownership is just "my house or yours," think again. One wrong step or misunderstood rule can turn a seamless partnership into a chaotic nightmare, especially when a life or death situation hits. This episode unlocks the hidden frameworks behind concurrent ownership—cases, concepts, and tricks that can make or break your exam success and legal certainty.Delve into the core distinctions that define property sharing. You'll discover how tenancy in common—the default estate—creates a flexible, undivided interest with no survivorship rights, meaning interests pass to heirs and can be sold or gifted without the others' consent. We break down the significance of the four unities—time, title, interest, possession—necessary to form a joint tenancy, and reveal the "magic words"—"as joint tenants with right of survivorship"—that create this fragile but powerful estate. But beware: even a single mistake like a unilateral sale, a mortgage, or a vague deed can sever the tenancy, instantly transforming it into a tenancy in common.You'll uncover the secret art of severance—how acts like selling a share during your lifetime or certain jurisdictional nuances (title theory versus lien theory) can unravel the survivorship shield. And just when you think the game is straightforward, we expose the rare, controversial "secret severance" maneuvers—deeds to oneself or straw men—that courts often reject as fraud, especially highlighted in recent landmark cases like Pennsylvania's Re's State of Grant.Marriage introduces a special variation: tenancy by the entirety, offering near-absolute protections—no unilateral sale, creditor shields for individual spouses, and the power of survivorship. But those walls crumble upon divorce, death, or mutual agreement, reverting to plain joint tenancy or tenancy in common. We analyze the policy debates—should long-term partners or even room-mates get similar protections?—prompting you to think beyond tradition.This episode also reveals the gritty realities of co-ownership management. When one occupant pays all expenses—mortgage, taxes—you'll learn how courts balance fairness with law, using concepts like contribution and offsets especially in post-divorce scenarios like Barrow v. Barrow. And when disagreements escalate—disputes over rent, improvements, or waste—partition becomes the ultimate tool. You'll understand the differences between physical division in kind and sale by the court, and the critical principles guiding those decisions.A robust four-step exam framework wraps up our journey: identify the estate, check for severance, analyze ownership disputes, and apply the proper remedy. PLUS, we challenge outdated conventions—asking whether marriage-based protections should evolve into home-centric, long-term arrangements that include same-sex couples and long-term friends, reflecting societal shifts.Whether you're studying for law school, the bar exam, or just want to grasp how property law shapes societal values, this episode delivers a condensed, detailed roadmap to master concurrent ownership. It's packed with concrete examples, critical case insights, and practical tips to help you analyze any question confidently—and avoid the common pitfalls that trip up even experienced students.If understanding land rights, estate plans, or complex ownership conflicts excites you—or if you want to avoid that exam trap of thinking "ownership is simple"—this episode is your essential guide. Tap into the legal web of interests, rights, duties, and tricks that govern real property. Master the foundational concepts—because in property law, what you don't know can cost you everything.property law, concurrent ownership, tenancy in common, joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, legal rights, property rights, co-ownership, severance, partition
Welcome to our learning‑led discussion series, where William Mankelow, Stuart “The Wildman” Mabbutt, and you—the audience—shape the conversation together.Your questions arrive unopened, and we explore them in real time, discovering the topic at the same moment you do.We don't present ourselves as definitive authorities. Instead, we approach each question as curious learners, ready to examine ideas from fresh angles, embrace uncertainty, and see where thoughtful dialogue can take us.Kholoud, a Palestinian Refugee living in Long Eaton, England sets the initial question for discussion- “Does gun ownership lead to mass shootings and does religion cause wars?”The discussion explores how access to weapons and human decision‑making interact in acts of violence. One view suggests that widespread gun availability increases the potential for mass harm, while another emphasizes that individuals ultimately choose whether to use a weapon. The conversation also examines religion's role in conflict: some argue it is often used as a justification rather than a true cause, while others highlight that many faiths promote peace at their core. Both co-hosts reflect on how cultural influences, personal responsibility, and societal conditions shape behaviour, noting that tools or beliefs become harmful only when people decide to use them in that way.Andrew, from Barrow, Alaska, USA asks the next question - “Do you think it's worthwhile engaging with that which we don't like?”The conversation explores how personal biases shape our preferences and how engaging with unfamiliar or initially disliked ideas can deepen understanding. One perspective highlights that everyone carries assumptions, yet genuine openness can reveal unexpected appreciation. Another view emphasizes the value of examining our dislikes rather than avoiding them, noting that automatic reactions often mask the real reasons behind our judgments. By analysing media, performances, or viewpoints he finds unappealing, one co-host discovers that his reactions often stem from perceived inauthenticity rather than disagreement alone. Examples include reassessing a music genre after giving it proper attention, or recognising why certain styles—such as highly improvised music—do not resonate personally. The discussion concludes with the idea that exploring what we think we dislike is an important part of learning, encouraging listeners to stay curious even when something doesn't immediately appeal to them.What do you make of this discussion?

We watched The Grey Two. That's right two movies in a row set in the cold snowiness of Alaska. Except this time we are trading in vampires and the town of Barrow for wolves and the harsh unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. Poorly marketed as a movie where Liam Neeson punches wolves. However, what we ended up with was this brutal, filmic poem of sadness, masculinity, and survival. Did we like it? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out.
Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Surviving the Horror! In our first episode of 2026, Josh and Colin go all the way back to the distant past of 1995 to talk about Clock Tower: Rewind. While this particular version released in 2024, the original game released in September of 1995 on the Super Famicom in Japan. Clock Tower: Rewind marks the first time that this original game in the franchise has been available in the United States and to a larger audience. As a very retro, point and click style adventure horror game, Clock Tower follows the journey of one Jennifer Simpson, as she and several friends from Granite Orphanage find themselves on the precipice of being adopted by a wealthy but reclusive man named Simon Barrows. Upon arriving at the Barrow's mansion, (also known as Clock Tower due to its most prominent architectural feature), Jennifer is quickly separated from her friends and forced to navigate the mansion to find out just what the hell is going on. Will Jennifer make it out alive? Will she discover the secrets of the Barrow's property? Just how important is this random meat item that she can pick up? All of that is for you dear listener to discover, and for Josh and I (Colin) to elaborate on. Clock Tower: Rewind is most certainly a retro experience, but it's easy to see the DNA of so many other future horror titles that it would go on to inspire. We hope that you enjoy this look into the past!

Needing to hide from the police…for reasons, EJ and Rory flee to Barrow, Alaska! Problem is, a couple of jerk vamps are taking advantage of the town's 30 days of darkness policy to feed on Barrow's peeps. Vampires really have no consideration for people fleeing from the law. Anywho, they called Jon and Elle Snow for backup so they can get out of this carnage-ridden jam. While they await their arrival, the guys review the bloody good time, “30 DAYS OF NIGHT”, failing to see the similarities between the film and their current situation.

There's a Yank invasion on the People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, with two American listeners sending in questions for us to discuss. We're in the middle of January 2026, yet it feels much the same as 2025. We talked in a previous episode about time and the way calendars give us the sense of a fresh start, but in reality nothing changes unless we do. A new year does not create change on its own, you have to actively do something different rather than waiting for time to change for you.So first let's look at the question from Ray, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, USA - “What is the difference between adults and children?”Stuart insists kids are basically tiny sages because they haven't yet collected the full starter pack of adult neuroses. William counters with the groundbreaking revelation that people don't actually change much—apparently his school reunion was a time‑travel experiment.Stuart then reminds us that adults are just children with bills, flailing confidently into the void. William adds that everyone rushing around pretending to be Very Important is really just their inner toddler begging for a gold star. Finally, Stuart points out that while we're all told to “live sustainably,” the folks running the show are too busy maintaining the unsustainable bits to take their own advice.Andrew, from Barrow, Alaska, USA sets the next question - “I saw a young girl around 9 years old, in a waiting room, sat playing a computer game for a solid hour, oblivious to everything around us. The mother stuffing a banana in the girl's mouth so she would eat. Is this a sign the next generation will have the hidden skill of focus, or a sign they will be disconnected?”Stuart wonders if you can be laser‑focused and totally checked‑out at the same time—apparently yes, just hand a child a screen and watch the magic happen. Babies now get phones like they're upgraded pacifiers, and parents—shockingly—sometimes just want five seconds to breathe. Stuart overthinks whether a nine‑ish‑year‑old's screen‑trance is genius or doom, while noting that kids can become so absorbed they forget hunger, danger, and even the existence of gravity. William adds that screen‑time rules range from “strict monastery” to “digital free‑for‑all,” with dopamine doing its thing. Both agree extreme focus can be a superpower or a train wreck, but labels don't explain everything, and maybe we should stop judging parents in public. Teens may be drifting into digital hermit mode, but humanity will probably drag them back eventually—preferably before they walk off a cliff while texting.What do you make of this discussion?

This is a re-broadcast of Class Unity Transmissions Ep 19: Clyde W. Barrow | Marxist State Theory Today In this episode, we are joined by political theorist Clyde W. Barrow to revisit the classic debates in Marxist state theory and to consider their renewed relevance in the present conjuncture. Barrow was a guest speaker in the CU “State Theory” course that ran earlier this year, and we thought we'd invite him back for a more detailed discussion—and to explore how these debates might help guide the left through its current impasse. The conversation begins with the Poulantzas–Miliband debate of the 1960s and 1970s, situating it against the crisis of postwar Fordist–Keynesian capitalism and the broader effort by Marxists to move beyond instrumental or reductionist accounts of the capitalist state. Barrow explains why the debate remains foundational, what is often misunderstood about Miliband's position, and why Marxist politics cannot afford to treat the state as a secondary or merely epiphenomenal problem. From there, the discussion turns to globalization and contemporary political economy, drawing on Barrow's book Toward a Critical Theory of States: The Poulantzas–Miliband Debate after Globalization. Rejecting the idea that globalization has rendered states powerless, Barrow emphasizes the central role played by states—particularly the U.S. state—in constructing and managing global capitalism. We then examine how Marxist state theory helps illuminate recent developments in trade policy under the Trump administration, including the structural constraints that capitalist states face when they pursue policies that run counter to dominant class interests, and what this may signal about the future of the global trade regime. The latter part of the episode moves a bit more “into the weeds,” engaging debates over Lenin, the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the long-standing question of what a socialist theory of government might look like. Barrow reflects on the limits of romanticized models such as the Paris Commune, the enduring tensions between democracy and state power in socialist strategy, and the usefulness of Poulantzas's concept of authoritarian statism for understanding contemporary right-wing governments. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what Marxist state theory can tell us about the challenges facing democratic socialist governance today, using the case of New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani to explore the structural and political limits confronting left projects within capitalist states. Biographical note: In recent months, Barrow has also been a prominent public critic of managerial governance and political interference in higher education and has faced disciplinary action related to his speech and public commentary. While this episode focuses on theory rather than biography, his situation has made him an important contemporary reference point in ongoing debates over academic freedom and freedom of expression in U.S. universities. Additional background: Clyde W. Barrow earned his Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently Professor of Political Science at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and previously taught for many years at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Barrow is widely known for his contributions to Marxist state theory, political sociology, and the political economy of higher education. His major books include Universities and the Capitalist State: Corporate Liberalism and the Reconstruction of American Higher Education, 1894–1928; Toward a Critical Theory of States: The Poulantzas–Miliband Debate after Globalization; The Dangerous Class: The Concept of the Lumpenproletariat; and A Critique of Political Science: A History of the Caucus for a New Political Science (forthcoming), along with numerous influential articles on state power, class relations, and academic governance.

At last, they've done it! Russ and Pete have finally completed the 92, after some delays and with no thanks at all to cup draws, frozen pitches and a lack of convenient rescheduling for TV in recent seasons. Dragging Russ's wife along for good measure, they headed up to Barrow-in-Furness for the penultimate ground at Holker Street on the Friday night (19th) before hooking around Morecambe Bay and down to Fleetwood for the big one…Ground 92, at Highbury Stadium on the Saturday. And seeing as they were out and about and that an unexpected opportunity arose for a Sunday game, they added Brackley to their ‘140 Club' tally for good measure. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Long before Black people mattered in America, they mattered in Detroit.” That line alone sets the tone for this powerful Detroit is Different conversation with Joe Louis Barrow II, founder of Joe Louis Southern Kitchen and son of the Brown Bomber himself. In this episode, Barrow reflects on Detroit as sacred ground for Black legacy—where the Great Migration, Black Bottom, industrial labor, women's liberation, and quiet acts of resistance all converged to shape Black America's past and future. He shares how Detroit didn't just celebrate Joe Louis the fighter, but protected and preserved Joe Louis the man, keeping his legacy alive seventy years after he left the ring. Barrow speaks candidly about entrepreneurship as community responsibility, reminding us that his father “was never seeking attention—he wanted people to see themselves in him.” From boxing to business, from activism done quietly to food done with love, this conversation traces how legacy isn't about nostalgia—it's about modeling possibility. Joe Louis Southern Kitchen becomes more than a restaurant; it's a living porch, a gathering place where generations sit together, taste memory, and pass down values. This episode connects Detroit's history of dignity, labor, and Black excellence to a future rooted in community, patience, and hope—because as Barrow reminds us, “Change is not possible without hope.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

First named in 1972, the Alaska Triangle stretches from Anchorage in southcentral Alaska to Juneau in the southeast panhandle to Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) on Alaska’s northern coast. Since 1988, more than 16,000 people have vanished from this area, and every year, approximately four people go missing per every 1000 Alaska residents. This rate is twice the national average. I was surprised when I first learned how many people disappear in Alaska, but I don’t need an underground pyramid or mysterious magnetic vortices to explain the statistics. I also don’t understand the need for a triangle since people disappear throughout the state, not just in the area outlined by a geometric figure’s hypothetical lines. However, I guess a triangle conjures up the aura of the Bermuda Triangle and suggests the possibility of mysterious forces at play. Many disappearances and other mysteries in Alaska have never been solved. Planes vanish, boats disappear, UFO sightings baffle military officers, and in one instance, the population of an entire village fled their homes to escape a giant, hairy, manlike creature. Here are a few of the stories. Sources: Conger, Cristen. Why has part of the Alaska wilderness been called the Bermuda Triangle? How Stuff Works. Gough, Cody. 2019.

This episode is a little different as we're talking to three of the people behind new film GAME. It's the first feature from Invada Films, the movie arm of Invada Records, the label co-founded by Geoff Barrow of Portishead and Beak>. Barrow has scored many films and TV series over the last 15 years, including Ex Machina, Annihilation and more but this is his first foray as a producer and co-writer. Helping him out are two old friends and collaborators -- director John Minton who has done live visuals and videos for Portishead, and artist and actor Marc Bessant who did the album cover for the second Portishead album. Both Marc and John also get story credit for GAME, which is a thriller set against the early '90s rave scene. Marc plays David an aging partier who crashes his car in rural England after a rave and is found by a poacher in the woods played with menace and humor by Sleaford Mods frontman Jason Williamson. Things do not go as you might expect and we'll leave it at that. We talked to Geoff, John and Marc about the film, the difficulties of making it with a very small budget, writing new '90s-sounding acid house songs for the soundtrack, and more. Plus Geoff talks about his final tour with Beak> which wrapped up earlier this year, what's next for Invada, the future of Portishead, and lots more. Just so you know, we keep the first half of our conversation spoiler free but at the 34 minute mark we do start talking about specifics of the film, so if you haven't seen GAME skip ahead to the 54:40 minute mark for talk of Portishead, Beak>, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

Caroline Barrow was raised in a typical Mormon household in Louisiana. While she was a faithful believer in the Church, she always had questions about certain teachings but was often encouraged to halt her critical thinking on these issues. She chose to attend BYU and serve a Mormon mission, but continued to be plagued by questions—particularly around polygamy and the treatment of women in the LDS faith. Caroline also found herself struggling with scrupulosity, perfectionism, and the many pressures placed on women in the Church.Listen as she shares her story of how she confronted these questions and learned to trust herself and her instincts as an analytical woman within the Mormon faith.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

In today's Atheist Experience, Justin and Jim Barrows dissect the flimsy foundations of faith, critique the peculiar "design" of the human body, and explore the logical leaps required to uphold belief in the face of scientific understanding. They challenge callers on everything from deconstruction guilt and family relationships to questionable links between Kabbalah and quantum physics.Mary Cate in NC is working through deconstruction and feels guilty, missing her religious community. The hosts suggest building new secular communities and emphasize that maintaining family relationships without endorsing beliefs is not dishonest. What steps can one take to navigate these complex social dynamics?Ben in KS, an agnostic, questions if science's inability to explain "spirituality" or deeper layers of existence leaves room for God, citing particle-wave duality. Hosts challenge him to define which God and argue that naturalistic explanations, supported by Occam's Razor, remain the most coherent approach. If a God is added, how does one explain that God's grounding?Daisy in WA asks if dogmatic religions can be disproven, unlike deism. Justin and Jim provide numerous examples of internal contradictions within the Bible and the Quran, highlighting scientific errors and failed prophecies. How do these internal inconsistencies challenge the claims of divine inspiration?Hannah claims that modern physics, specifically the concept of ten dimensions and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, provides evidence for Kabbalah and an unknowable Godhead. The hosts dismiss these as coincidental numerical matches and misrepresentations of scientific principles without testable evidence. Why do such parallels, without supporting evidence, often amount to pareidolia?Benji, a theist, discusses the point of converting atheists if worship is subjective and brings up the "terra fallacy" regarding insufficient evidence. The hosts clarify the distinction between belief and worship, stating that objective evidence of God's existence would be compelling, unlike failed prophecies. What kind of evidence would be universally convincing for existence, but not necessarily for worship?Jim in MO asks if free will truly exists with an omniscient, omnipotent God. Justin and Jim explain that while omniscience alone doesn't negate free will, combining it with omnipotence creates a problem of predetermination and the problem of evil. Does God's ultimate power mean our choices are merely part of a divine plan?Thank you for joining us this week!
