We begin with a sweet story to end this spring/summer 2025 season, then you better hold on to your butts for a wild quizzy ride. Time to play Colin's dictionary game where you try to pinpoint what year trendy words got added to the dictionary. Labubus or Lafufus? Karen's popping all the marts in order to make a quiz about knock-offs, clones, fakes, off-brands, and dupes. I Can't Believe It's Not Trivia! Chris has us doing jazz hands in a Broadway quiz (but the real fun is summarizing musical plots to Colin.) And of course, "Celebrities with Animals in Their Names." See you later this year on OUR ROAD TO 300! THIS. IS. TRIVIA. For advertising inquiries, please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
John Otway – self-billed as “Rock And Roll's Greatest Failure” - has played 5,260 gigs in 53 years, a record possibly only beaten by BB King. There are more this autumn of course. He simply can't stop. “People buying me drinks and telling me what a good bloke I am? Why would you stop?” We talk to him here about the art of shambling stagecraft and a life lived almost permanently on the road, which involves … ... a burning desire to perform from the age of nine. … “Don't think before opening your mouth!” … the rhythm of life when you play two gigs a week for five decades. And the value of ‘Micro-stardom' - “I'm at the bar when they walk in”. … seeing the Move, Free and Mott the Hoople in Aylesbury. … how people always noticed him – not least because “I was idiot-dancing by the bass speakers”. ... his first performance, a massively overwrought version of Peter Sarstedt's Where Do You Go To My Lovely. … best-selling Otway merch - “I Can't Believe It's Not Better!

Rainy Day Rabbit Holes: Silly Summer Season — Napoleon vs. The Bunny Apocalypse Episode Summary:In this episode, we travel back to 1807, when Napoleon Bonaparte, the conqueror of Europe and master tactician, faced the most humiliating defeat of his career — at the paws of a swarm of ravenous rabbits. We explore how a grand hunting party meant to celebrate his triumph turned into slapstick chaos, why the bunnies charged, and whether this story was an elaborate piece of historical trolling.Topics Covered:The aftermath of the Treaty of TilsitNapoleon's love of grand gesturesAlexandre Berthier's ill-fated event planningThe possibly hangry domesticated rabbitsPaul Thiebault's rivalry and the murky origins of the storyWhat it all means for the myth of invincibilityResources & Further Reading:Ripley's Believe It or NotMental FlossJust History PostsHistory FactsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-unhinged-rainy-day-rabbit-holes--6271663/support.

At 96 years old, Jimmy Pattison still runs his $16 billion empire personally. He's built it over 63 years without outside capital or a college degree. He owns 100% of car dealerships, billboards, radio stations—even Ripley's Believe It or Not—with a philosophy of: "No partners, no shareholders, no relatives." This episode reveals the principles behind one of North America's great private empires: how to build and compound a reputation, why the best deals happen in silence, and what a Japanese bicycle taught him about operational excellence. You'll learn the hidden advantage of selling “souvenir editions” instead of newspapers, how he turned a ghost radio station into a ratings leader overnight, and why he once fired the entire bottom 10% of his staff—then took them out for steak. Most people play for approval. Pattison plays for permanence through reputation, relentless clarity, and never mistaking flash for fundamentals. This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Jimmy: An Autobiography by Jim Pattison and Paul Grescoe.

This week, we're exploring the fine line between neighborly and nefarious. Because sure, community is important—but not all of them are worth joining. Trevin is feeling the heat of summer, or as he calls it, Body Dysmorphia Season. In a rare moment of vulnerability, he opens up about the struggle of connecting to his body in a world that won't stop looking. Meanwhile, Amanda returns with a major life update, packed with dilemmas. New house? New job? New levels of chaos? Check, check, and check. In Killer Facts, Trevin dives into the Bayeux Tapestry—a medieval embroidery depicting the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. That leads to the latest game round of Dong or Dagger?, because of course it does. Amanda shares a jaw-dropping fact from Ripley's Believe It or Not involving authentic vampire-killing kits—and maybe discovers a new merch opportunity for the show. For stories, Trevin travels to the unincorporated neighborhood of Silverthorne, Colorado, where one resident is being repeatedly targeted... with bags of dog poop. A petty crime? Yes. A whodunit? Absolutely. Call it a turder mystery. Then Amanda takes us to Joliet, Illinois, where a man named Clifton Williams gets himself into trouble over one unfortunate courtroom sound. Is Judge Daniel Rozak dishing out justice—or just making people afraid to breathe? This case is not a yawn-fest. Take a break from the heavy and get petty—because this week, we're placing you right in the middle of some truly criminal communities.

Rocking out with... . Hebert Hoover? BELIEVE IT. By Pat Strait There aren't enough great writers challenging the way we consume content and staying true to the idea that audio is one of the greatest art forms we've got. A concept album, which immerses the listener in Americana, that drives you to listen to an audio drama, which transports you to a different era, is something that very few people could dream up, let alone execute on to this level. What Will Anderson has created here is a seriously cool way to reignite our imaginations. Binge on all of our audio shows at atlantafringe.org/fringe-audio or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
In this episode of Anime Minority Report, Jamie and Guerby are diving headfirst into the anime protagonist factory. What really makes a great main character? Is it the trauma? The drip? The unnecessarily loud inner monologue? They're breaking down the secret recipe—plot armor, emotional baggage, tragic backstory—and serving up hot takes with a side of chaos. From Tanjiro to Luffy to that one dude you swear only exists to scream “BELIEVE IT,” nothing is safe. If you've ever argued over who deserves the MC title or why side characters stay stealing the show, this one's for you. Click play and catch a case of Main Character Syndrome.

(The No Noses Club) *** Is it possible that it's better to have no nose at all than to have an extremely long one? We'll look at a real-life Pinocchio named Thomas Wedders with a giant proboscis! (A Short Story About a Long Nose) *** Imagine living through life with two and a half faces. No, not like a politician – that's simply two-faced. I mean living with two noses and three eyes.

You teach people how to treat you! You set the tone. So, if you've been over-giving, over-explaining yourself, dimming your light, playing small or undercharging to prove your value (or feel "safe") - this episode is your reminder: Compliments don't pay your bills, baby. This is a metaphor for LIFE, not just business. In relationships. With your time. With your body. With your self-expression. Power is a posture. Worth is a choice. And you've got to BELIEVE IT to RECEIVE IT (before "the proof" shows up).

*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. John E. Browning. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 ‘Gates of Argonath' member, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. John E. Browning. A professor in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, John Edgar Browning, Ph.D. has contracted or published 20 academic and popular trade books as well as over 100 shorter works on subjects that cluster around cultural studies, critical media literacy, Dracula, vampires, monstrosity, and horror. Included among his work in film and media studies is his decade-and-a-half-long ethnographic fieldwork with the human or real vampire subculture (a topic in which there are perhaps five scholars worldwide). In addition to academic venues, Browning has published on the real vampire subculture in public forums such as The Atlantic (2015) and Discover Magazine (2015 and 2018), and his unique expertise in this area has helped facilitate several public appearances as a guest scholar on, or service as a consultant for, over two dozen television and streaming networks, professional podcasts, and radio programs, including Discovery channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror, History channel, Disney+, Netflix, Discover Magazine's “It's Only Science” podcast, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NPR, The Howard Stern Show network, BBC Radio, RTÉ—Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and SLATE among others. In this interview, John and I discuss his research into the Real Vampire Community. He talks about his motivation to begin looking into this subculture, as well as what he's learned over the years. As this topic somewhat overlaps with my own research into the Otherkin community, I take the opportunity to ‘compare notes' so to speak, and ask questions to gain more clarity on this group. John also discusses to what degree contemporary expressions of the vampire in popular culture have influenced the real vampire community, and how his research has contributed to changing perceptions of this subculture. He talks about his term ‘defiant culture' as it relates to people who have been labeled ‘Other' or ‘deviant' and also mentions how his research has helped forensic professionals that deal with crimes that seem, on the surface, to involve people who label themselves ‘vampires'. We also touch upon the Temple of the Vampire, a group that is viewed as a religious organization, and how this group relates to the larger vampire community in the US.

What is faith? It is believing in possibilities. If there were no doubt, there would be no need for faith. Faith is temporarily putting our doubts on the shelf and working toward our goals. Faith is trusting help and support will be there for us, even though they're not in view. It is looking at a map and choosing a new destination, getting on the road to go there, and trusting the marks on the map symbolize a real place that we will find. On this episode, Darrell and Ed drive home the fact that we all have within and around us a supernatural power for good. However, it can become power to us only when we recognize it as power. “Believe, just believe!” And, during the second segment, Creative superwoman Lois Conklin makes it clear that all the power is on the side of life with today's reading, “Believe It”.
