The Geekz head back to the start in our 31 Days of Horror marathon with Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011) – the icy prequel that reveals the gruesome origins of the cannibal family. Set in an abandoned asylum deep in West Virginia, a group of college friends on a snowmobile trip find themselves trapped inside with the sadistic killers on the loose. In our review, we break down the chilling asylum setting, brutal kills, and over-the-top gore that makes Bloody Beginnings one of the bloodiest entries in the franchise. We'll also talk about the performances from the new cast, including Tenika Davis, Dean Armstrong, Kaitlyn Leeb, and Terra Vnesa, as they fight for survival against the terrifying hillbilly killers. Does this prequel add depth to the Wrong Turn story, or is it just nonstop splatter horror? Join us as we dive into the carnage!

Episode 211 of The Adventure Podcast features adventurer Ollie Treviso. Ollie recently completed a 14,000km, 20-month walk along the Andes, from Tierra del Fuego to the Caribbean Sea. In this episode, Ollie opens up about how far he's come - from a rugby-playing teenager abusing steroids and working as an insurance broker, to living in a cave in Gran Canaria, working on farms, and eventually discovering the power of slow, human-paced travel. Matt and Ollie explore his first long-distance walk across the UK, complete with an over-packed rucksack, no tent experience, and a rule never to pay for accommodation, and how these early stumbles laid the foundations for his South American journey. They also talk candidly about grief and loss, why walking feels most meaningful, resilience, identity, and the uneasy balance between adventure, ego, and storytelling. This conversation is longer than normal. But its honest, fun, and full of surprising side stories. What emerges is not just the tale of an epic trek, but an honest reflection on what drives someone to keep walking into the unknown.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack. You can also follow along and join in on Instagram @‌theadventurepodcast.Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – 09:00 | Beginnings & Pandemic Shift: Ollie's early restlessness, failed plans for South America, and how COVID lockdowns unexpectedly pushed him into walking across the UK.09:00 – 14:30 | Discovering Slow Travel: First long walks through Wales, Scotland, and Land's End to John O'Groats; learning the hard way about kit, endurance, and the joy of stripping life back to basics.14:30 – 20:00 | Tragedy & Turning Points: Family loss and grief collide with his travels, bringing him home but also deepening his sense of purpose and the need to carry on.20:00 – 40:00 | Setting Out for South America: Why Ollie chose to walk the Andes, the decision to commit step by step, and the fears and motivations behind such a huge undertaking.40:00 – 1:05:00 | Hardship & Kindness on the Road: Encounters with strangers' generosity, moments of danger, and surreal cultural exchanges - from Venezuela to Argentina, including being mugged in Colombia.1:05:00 – 1:20:00 | Companions & Survival: The story of a stray dog that joined him in Chile, brushes with wilderness, and reflections on walking's unique intensity.1:20:00 – 1:32:00 | Records, Recognition & Resistance: How the “first to walk the Andes” label sat uneasily with him, fundraising realities, and the tension between storytelling and self-promotion.1:32:00 – 1:40:00 | Coming Home & Looking Forward: Post-expedition decompression, finding peace away from the road, and searching for balance between adventure, career, and life at home.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

After three months of silence, the longest break in this podcast's history, I'm back. But this pause wasn't empty. It was a season of composting, of finishing my MA, and of stepping into the threshold of my PhD.In this episode, I share: ✨ Why pauses are not failures, but fertile ground for renewal ✨ What completing my MA has taught me about cycles of ending and beginning ✨ How the threshold of my PhD is reshaping what's ahead for A Pinch of Magick ✨ The symbolic power of autumn's descent and why release is radical magick ✨ The importance of honouring your own transitionsThis episode is both a re-introduction and a reminder: magick isn't linear. It's cyclical. Just like the seasons, our lives are woven with growth, fallow times, endings, and new beginnings.Whether you're moving through a big life change, resting in a pause, or just craving more connection to the cycles of magick in your own life, this is your invitation to see thresholds not as interruptions, but as powerful portals.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

As a part of our Beginnings series we explore Genesis and the story of Abram to find out what the Lord has to tell us about what it means to keep our gaze on Him.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Brad preaches on church membership and discipline. He leads a panel discussion with Elders Neal Manning, Bert Wallace, and Pastor Ricky. Together they answer where church membership comes from, the nature of church discipline, and Pastor Ricky gives an update on some of our current membership numbers and serving needs. Pastor Brad then expands upon the biblical principles of membership and discipline. Pastor Brad ends with three points of application: (1) be thankful to God for bringing you into His family through Jesus, (2) remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin in your life, and (3) be grateful that God will not let you live in any way you want to.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Katie Pace Miles, Ph.D., founder of The Reading Institute and director of the Advanced Certificates in Reading Science, Brooklyn College. An expert in orthographic mapping, Pace Miles explains why it's a cognitive process, why that means it can't be “taught,” and how we can instead leverage an understanding of it to inform instructional practices across reading, writing, and spelling to improve comprehension. Pace Miles outlines what it takes to develop good word-reading habits in emergent readers, and offers step-by-step advice on how to implement quick intervention when needed.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand-new companion professional learning page.  Connect with Katie Pace Miles:Website: https://www.katiepacemilesphd.com/Instagram: @thereadinginstitutenyc Resources:Book: Making Words Stick: A Four-Step Instructional Routine to Power Up Orthographic Mapping Article: ”Phases of Development in Learning to Read and Spell Words” by Linnea C.
