Podcasts about Batcave

Cadomin Cave has been closed to the public for more than a decade, but once a year researchers are allowed in to count the number of bats hibernating in Alberta's largest bat cave. This yearly count has become increasingly important as a deadly fungus puts populations at risk. CBC reporter Wallis Snowdon hiked into the cave's twisting chambers to bring us an exclusive look inside.

Jeff Styles does what he does best - tell stories and helps others share their story - good or bad! This is a conversation/episode I hope everyone listens to AND shares! - Eight months after Hurricane Helene destroyed Bat Cave, N.C., residents are still struggling for shelter, drinking water, showers and working toilets. The "Big Guns" are gone (FEMA, Red Cross, etc...). No aid $, Fed, State, even County assistance isn't anywhere to be found. First nature...then human predators. They're pulling themselves up by their own muddy boot straps but they need help. Now! A podcast to shock your faith in the system but rebuild your faith in the best of humanity. ===== THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Vascular Institute of Chattanooga: https://www.vascularinstituteofchattanooga.com/ The Barn Nursery: https://www.barnnursery.com/ Optimize U Chattanooga: https://optimizeunow.com/chattanooga/ Guardian Investment Advisors: https://giaplantoday.com/ Alchemy Medspa and Wellness Center: http://www.alchemychattanooga.com/ Our House Studio: https://ourhousestudiosinc.com/ ALL THINGS JEFF STYLES: www.thejeffstyles.com PART OF THE NOOGA PODCAST NETWORK: www.noogapodcasts.com Please consider leaving us a review on Apple and giving us a share to your friends!

Send us a textWho would emerge victorious in a fight between your favorite TV dads, sidekicks, and everyday characters? That's the question at the heart of our hilariously chaotic "Average Joe Beatdown" tournament, where we pit characters like Fonzie, Marshall Erickson, and Hank Schrader against each other in increasingly absurd showdowns.The rules are simple: no characters with military backgrounds or supernatural abilities—just regular folks thrown into extraordinary combat scenarios. What begins as a straightforward tournament quickly descends into delightful madness as the competitors face off in locations ranging from the Batcave to Santa's Workshop, wielding everything from brass knuckles to saxophones.The tournament takes unexpected turns when Marshall Erickson, the gentle giant from How I Met Your Mother, goes on a shocking winning streak. prompting increasingly bewildered reactions from us as hosts.  Throughout these fictional battles, we debate each character's hidden strengths, unlikely skills, and potential strategies. Would Ron Swanson's woodworking expertise translate to combat prowess? Could Dr. Cox's medical knowledge give him an edge in a fight? These questions lead to passionate debates, surprising insights, and moments of pure comedic gold.By the final duel on a skyscraper rooftop, only one character can claim the title of ultimate Average Joe champion. Listen now to discover who emerges victorious, and let us know your dream match ups for our next tournament!

a passionate defense of Ben Affleck's chin, and more nipple-based humor than should legally be allowed on a podcast. We also pitch Nicole Kidman as Harley Quinn, speculate on Batman's secret stash of Pearl necklaces, and marvel at the sheer audacity of that universal remote Batcave shutdown. This one is a glorious mess — the movie and the episode.   So is Batman Forever actually worth revisiting? Depends who you ask. There is charm in its chaos, but it's hard not not feel punished by a glow-in-the-dark god. But either way, it made for one hell of a good time. Join us as we light the fires, summon the Nipples of Gondor, and ask the real questions — like what exactly is your Batmobile made of?   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112462/

Batman ’66 S2 Ep16 – The Dead Ringers Batman and Robin escape Chandell’s trap.

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.  No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender.  With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight.  From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.  Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.Robins and Alfreds and Gordons…Oh my!  Oh yes, it's our third ever Draft episode!  In our last draft, it was villains.  This time, it's allies.  Welcome to the Ultimate Batman Allies Draft!  Along with Daniel and Kris, the Director of Podcasting for the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, is here to once again devise another spectacular, gut-wrenching Batman draft.  In this one, we're perusing all of Batman's most trusted partners in his war against crime.  Whether it's the Bat Family, Justice League, or even a former foe turned ally, we're covering all the bases, spanning allies from film, TV, and comic books.As this is a huge Draft episode, the Bat Cave is once again expanded.  The trio is joined by return guests Perry Constantine of the Superhero Cinephiles Podcasts, and Kris's co-host from the Media/Lit Podcast, as well as the Pod of Doom podcast on Black Sabbath at the pop break, and notorious Draft villain, Randy Allain!  And making his debut on the podcast is pop break contributor, Ben Murchison!It's another emotional and draining draft as everyone tries to navigate some particularly tough categories, as we go deeper into the comic book world for some true deep cuts.  If you're a diehard Batman comics fan, you'll love this episode!  There's plenty of draft heart break in this one.  Will Randy play the role of draft villain once again?  Will The Dark Knight Rises be dissected for the 900th time on this podcast?  Who goes #1?  Who doesn't get drafted?Just like our other drafts, this is required listening for Batman fans!

"Locked Out of the Night" is a heavy, doom-laced anthem for every hero who's ever faced their darkest, dumbest moment. Batman's ready to crush crime — but he's lost his keys. Brutal riffs, pounding drums, and gritty vocals bring the frustration and fury to life. A dark, heavy metal ride through failure, pride, and a very empty Batcave. Perfect for fans of Black Sabbath, Metallica, and anyone who's ever been locked out of their own destiny.

Our guest today is a maverick of music, an agent provocateur whose visually arresting image, razor sharp humour and mentally challenging music helped forge that most enduring of sub-cultures; 'Goth'. Back in the early 1980s when the post-punk counter culture embraced film noir and turned the technicolor of glam into a more sinister monochromatic look, festooned with spider webs, skulls and too much eye-liner Nik Fiend was one of the original bad-taste makers at London's The Batcave club. 'Alien Sex Fiend' along with 'The Specimen' and 'Sex Gang Children' made regular appearances at the infamous Batcave. Together they helped establish the look and feel of the early Goth scene in the south, where the likes of Nick Cave, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Bauhaus, Foetus, Robert Smith and even a freshly crimped and spiked Elizabeth Hurley were all regular attendees. The world has of course never been the same, and while music and fashion constantly evolve there is alway the reverberation of the gothic asthetic. Mr & Mrs Fiend continue to create and celebrate chaos around the world, finding success on US college radio, getting 'big in Japan' and spreading their tendrils throughout continental Europe. Uncompromising, often hilarious, always a little bit shocking Alien Sex Fiend are a national treasure who have been hidden in the basement for far too long. Before we talk to Nik we do that thing we love to do, we talk about a completely different type of music! This month we are very pleased to speak to Alex Coles about his excellent book on Jazz Fusion. It is beautiful object and a fascinating discussion about how Jazz can be fused with all manner of musical styles and add to the overall effect. The discussion takes in Sinatra, Joni Mitchell, Charlie Mingus, Kendrick Lamar and Neneh Cherry.We also set aside a few minutes to discussing the giant hole in Deb's flat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our hosts return to the Podcave and then venture out into the woodlands to review the freakishly average episode, SIDESHOW. Alex and Will discuss the excellent animation in this episode and how the first act is a much better premise of a story, instead of reclusive freaks living out in the woods. And can you say freaks? Is this allowed?They also talk about how Richard being a Shakespeare nerd is the freakiest trait of all and discover they have limited Shakespeare knowledge. Plus, Killer Croc pitches the freaks on a new woodland wing shop venture and Batman brings a tree root back to display in the Batcave.

It's a change of scenery this week, as the guys gather inside the new and improved Batcave. Unfortunately, it's not under the best circumstances, as AJ recaps his nightmarish week as a dog dad. (Editor's note: It's not as bad as it could have been, but we're not out of the woods so good vibes are definitely welcome.) Between moments of worry, AJ finds some time to join his cohosts (in spirit) as they continue their prep for the upcoming Middleburg 5k. And spoiler alert, it's WAY more painful for some than it is for others. The boys also give first reax to eps 1-3 of the new Daredevil series before concluding with a totally calm, totally not-unhinged exchange on Elon Musk and the state of Tesla. Throw on a vintage Affliction tee, rub a lucky penny for good luck, and listen away.

Paul, Giles, Rick and Richard are back to discuss two stories with with double trouble - in this episode 5th Doctor adventure The Caves of Androzani from Season 21, which we'll pair next time with 11th Doctor story The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People from Series 6.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode, HIS SILICON SOUL. Alex and Will talk about the many odes to The Twilight Zone, Blade Runner and The Terminator that this episode features. As well as the many body horror scenes, the Batcave fight, and Alex stumbles on his words when saying the worst sentence possible (little girl's soul). Our hosts also wonder what Batman's favourite song might be, why recluse Karl Rossum has become a conspiracy theorist, when Alfred thought knockout gas would work on a robot, and how HARDAC expanded his robotic reach into the mayonnaise market.

If you are reading this, we have actively reached the quarter marlk of the 21st Century. Give yourself a pat on the back. Couple hurdles and mental breakdowns here and there but nobody is perfect. I, for one, am definitely guilty of crab swirling myself into a wicked lonesome existence but at the same time the grass isn't always greener. I'd much rather be piled up alone like Alfred in this Batcave than to have a raging case of stage 4 cauliflower ear from my wife bombarding me about how her friends husband took her to the Botanical Gardens and hired a professional photographer to hide in the bushes and I can't even tell you the rest because I blacked out from horrible conversation and cracked my frontal lobe on the edge of the mahogany coffee table. Sick. This room isn't that bad. The only person to text me Happy New Year on time last night was none other than VIP listener Keisha. Shouts to Keisha holding it down. Wishing everybody the best year of their lives.Live from the moon,Alfred

“His Joker has haunted me more than Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson or Mark Hamill!” - Andrew on Cesar Romero On this week's episode, we're kicking off We ❤️ Movies month with a fun-AF conversation about the super-silly, action-packed, superhero camp classic, Batman: The Movie! How incredible are all of these performances? Between this movie and filming the TV show, was the studio working these actors like dogs or what? Why is Batman stashing all his vehicles (land, sea and air) right out in broad daylight? Why are so many marine animals being obliterated throughout the film? And who were they kidding with that anti-alcohol line, everyone on this set was drinking before noon every day! PLUS: Does Bruce Wayne have the Memento memory disease and that's why he has to label so many things in the Batcave? Batman: The Movie stars Adam West, Burt Ward, Lee Meriwether, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Alan Napier, Neil Hamilton, Stafford Repp, Madge Blake, and Reginald Denny as Commodore Schmidlapp; directed by Leslie H.

BP unveiled plans in August 2020 to reduce its oil and gas output 40% by 2030, before dialing back the target to 25% in February 2023, according to Reuters. Now, in an attempt to regain the trust of investors, CEO Murray Auchincloss has dropped the target altogether in what sources told Reuters is part of a broader corporate strategy shift to focus on profitability and returns rather than green initiatives The news follows BP announcing plans to sell its roughly $2 billion U.S. onshore wind portfolio in September and comes as the company's share price sits at a near two-year low. It also coincides with a strategy shift at rival energy company Shell, which rejected further cuts to oil production in June 2023 shortly before its CEO Wael Sawan described lowering oil output as “dangerous and irresponsible” in a July 2023 interview with the BBC.

Cypress doesn't really fit into this category, but it also sort of does. It makes perfect sense that a ski area would sit north of the 49th Parallel, scraping the same snow train that annually buries the mountains from Mt. Bachelor all the way to Whistler. It seems less likely that a 2,000-vertical-foot ski area would rise just minutes outside of Canada's third-largest city, one known for its moderate climate. But Cypress is exactly that, and offers – along with its neighbors Grouse Mountain and Mt. Seymour – a bite of winter anytime cityfolk want to open the refrigerator door.There's all kinds of weird stuff going on here, actually. Why is this little locals' bump – a good ski area, and a beautiful one, but no one's destination – decorated like a four-star general of skiing? 2010 Winter Olympics host mountain. Gilded member of Alterra's Ikon Pass. A piece of Boyne's continent-wide jigsaw puzzle. It's like you show up at your buddy's one-room hunting cabin and he's like yeah actually I built like a Batcave/wave pool/personal zoo with rideable zebras underneath. And you're like dang Baller who knew?What we talked aboutOffseason projects; snowmaking evolution since Boyne's 2001 acquisition; challenges of getting to 100 percent snowmaking; useful parking lot snow; how a challenging winter became “a pretty incredible experience for the whole team”; last winter: el nino or climate change?; why working for Whistler was so much fun; what happened when Vail Resorts bought Whistler – “I don't think there was a full understanding of the cultural differences between Canadians and Americans”; the differences between Cypress and Whistler; working for Vail versus working for Boyne – “the mantra at Boyne Resorts is that ‘we're a company of ski resorts, not a ski resort company'”; the enormous and potentially enormously transformative Cypress Village development; connecting village to ski area via aerial lift; future  lift upgrades, including potential six-packs; potential night-skiing expansion; paid parking incoming; the Ikon Pass; the 76-day pass guarantee; and Cypress' Olympic legacy.Why now was a good time for this interviewMountain town housing is most often framed as an intractable problem, ingrown and malignant and impossible to reset or rethink or repair. Too hard to do. But it is not hard to do. It is the easiest thing in the world. To provide more housing, municipalities must allow developers to build more housing, and make them do it in a way that is dense and walkable, that is mixed with commerce, that gives people as many ways to move around without a car as possible.This is not some new or brilliant idea. This is simply how humans built villages for about 10,000 years, until the advent of the automobile. Then we started building our spaces for machines instead of for people. This was a mistake, and is the root problem of every mountain town housing crisis in North America. That and the fact that U.S. Americans make no distinction between the hyper-thoughtful new urbanist impulses described here and the sprawling shitpile of random buildings that are largely the backdrop of our national life. The very thing that would inject humanity into the mountains is recast as a corrupting force that would destroy a community's already-compromised-by-bad-design character.Not that it will matter to our impossible American brains, but Canada is about to show us how to do this. Over the next 25 years, a pocket of raw forest hard against Cypress' access road will sprout a city of 3,711 homes that will house thousands of people. It will be a human-scaled, pedestrian-first community, a city neighborhood dropped onto a mountainside. A gondola could connect the complex to Cypress' lifts thousands of feet up the mountain – more cars off the road. It would look like this (the potential aerial lift is not depicted here):Here's how the whole thing would set up against the mountain:And here's what it would be like at ground level:Like wow that actually resembles something that is not toxic to the human soul. But to a certain sort of Mother Earth evangelist, the mere suggestion of any sort of mountainside development is blasphemous. I understand this impulse, but I believe that it is misdirected, a too-late reflex against the subdivision-off-an-exit-ramp Build- A-Bungalow mentality that transformed this country into a car-first sprawlscape. I believe a reset is in order: to preserve large tracts of wilderness, we should intensely develop small pieces of land, and leave the rest alone. This is about to happen near Cypress. We should pay attention.More on Cypress Village:* West Vancouver Approves ‘Transformational' Plan for Cypress Village Development - North Shore News* West Vancouver Approves Cypress Village Development with Homes for Nearly 7,000 People - UrbanizedWhat I got wrong* I said that Cypress had installed the Easy Rider quad in 2021, rather than 2001 (the correct year).* I also said that certain no-ski zones on Vail Mountain's trailmap were labelled as “lynx habitat.” They are actually labelled as “wildlife habitat.” My confusion stemmed from the resort's historical friction with the pro-Lynxers.Why you should ski Cypress MountainYou'll see it anyway on your way north to Whistler: the turnoff to Cypress Bowl Road. Four switchbacks and you're there, to a cut in the mountains surrounded by chairlifts, neon-green Olympic rings standing against the pines.This is not Whistler and no one will try to tell you that it is, including the guy running the place, who put in two decades priming the machine just up the road. But Cypress is not just a waystation either, or a curiosity, or a Wednesday evening punchcard for Vancouver Cubicle Bro. Two thousand vertical feet is a lot of vertical feet. It often snows here by the Dumpster load. Off the summits, spectacular views, panoramic, sweeping, a jigsaw interlocking of the manmade and natural worlds. The terrain is varied, playful, plentiful. And when the snow settles and the trees fill in, a bit of an Incredible Hulk effect kicks on, as this mild-mannered Bruce Banner of a ski area flexes into something bigger and beefier, an unlikely superhero of the Vancouver heights.But Cypress is also not a typical Ikon Pass resort: 600 acres, six chairlifts, not a single condo tucked against the hill. It's a ski area that's just a ski area. It rains a lot. A busy-day hike up from the most distant parking lot can eat an irrevocable part of your soul (new shuttles this year should help that). Snowmaking, by Boyne standards, is limited, (though punchy for B.C.). The lift fleet, also by Boyne standards, feels merely adequate, rather than the am-I-in-Austria-or-Montana explosive awe that hits you at the base of Big Sky.  To describe a ski area as both spectacular and ordinary feels like a contradiction (or, worse, lazy on my part). But Cypress is in fact both of these things. Lodged in a national park, yet part of Vancouver's urban fabric. Brown-dirt trails in February and dang-where'd-I-leave-my-giraffe deep 10 days later. Just another urban ski area, but latched onto a pass with Aspen and Alta, a piece of a company that includes Big Sky and Big Cottonwood and a pair of New England ski areas that dwarf their Brother Cypress. A stop on the way north to Whistler, but much more than that as well.Podcast NotesOn the 2010 Winter OlympicsA summary of Cypress' Olympic timeline, from the mountain's history page:On Whistler BlackcombWe talk quite a bit about Whistler, where Davies worked for two decades. Here's a trailmap so you don't have to go look it up:On animosity between the merger of Whistler and BlackcombI covered this when I hosted Whistler COO Belinda Trembath on the podcast a few months back.On neighborsCypress is one of three ski areas seated just north of Vancouver. The other two are Grouse Mountain and Mt. Seymour, which we allude to briefly in the podcast. Here are some visuals:On Boyne's building bingeI won't itemize everything here, but over the past half decade or so, Boyne has leapt ahead of everyone else in North American in adoption of hyper-modern lift technology. The company operates all five eight-place chairlift in the United States, has built four advanced six-packs, just built a rocketship-speedy tram at Big Sky, has rebuilt and repurposed four high-speed quads within its portfolio, and has upgraded a bucketload of aging fixed-grip chairs. And many more lifts, including two super-advanced gondolas coming to Big Sky, are on their way.On Sunday River's progression carpetsThis is how carpets ought to be stacked – as a staircase from easiest to hardest, letting beginners work up their confidence with short bursts of motion:On side-by-side carpetsBoyne has two of these bad boys, as far as I know – one at Big Sky, and one at Summit at Snoqualmie, both installed last year. Here's the Big Sky lift:On Ikon resorts in B.C. and proximity to CypressWhile British Columbia is well-stocked with Ikon Pass partners – Revelstoke, Red Mountain, Panorama, Sun Peaks – none of them is anywhere near Cypress. The closest, Sun Peaks, is four to five hours under the best conditions. The next closest Ikon Pass partner is The Summit at Snoqualmie, four hours and an international border south – so more than twice the distance as that little place north of Cypress called Whistler.
