Podcast appearances and mentions of ben hamlin

Face to face. Alister is face to face with a stranger's reflection. It's mirroring your exact movements for now, but while your expression is one of bewilderment, its isn't. There's something far more sinister radiating off the glassy surface of the backroom mirror of the Lakeside Dive bar. Its expression is hard to pin down, for the longer you stare at, the more its face begins to shift. Individual features give way into others. Eyes change colors. Lips curl and flatten. It's never the same. TW// death and grief. ghosts, blood, knives, imagery similar to self harm ParaScience is an actual play, paranormal horror podcast told through Fate.

A tell tale heart lies thump thumping on the floor as Macy regains her composure behind the bar. Saint was able to talk her through one of the worst moments of her life, seeing Phillip Creek for the last time. The details about their protracted fight over the oil lease and the fate of the Lakeside Bar were details Macy has been holding back all week. It was eating her alive. Even with Macy Goodwin's guilty conscience beginning to dissolve, Alister has theorized that there's a deeper reason why Phillip is still here.

The bright overcast skies above Lake Arkansas begin to dim, as the light fades on the second day that Saint and Alister are in town. A series of disturbing diary entries from days gone by illuminated to our investigators that something shady is keeping this town afloat on the lake edge for so long. Whatever happened over a century ago, the doors of the Lakeside Bar and Restaurant will have to open soon.

There's something under the water of Lake Arkansas. And it's screaming at you to let it out. When investigating the candle on the center of Lake Arkansas, Saint and Alister find themselves staring face to face with Phillip Creek again, but this time, under far grimmer circumstances. Phillip Creek is clawing up toward the surface of the lake, toward their rowboat, toward the sweet relief of Oxygen. Saint reached down to grab him, uncertain of whether the drowning figure is Philip... or something that looks like him.

The attic storage room is dry and without life. Just cascading canvas hanging off of old wood furniture. Broken bar stool legs, a shattered plastic adirondak chair and rusted license plates. Piles of unopened crates. The single black candle sits on a silvery plate in the half darkness with only fractional beams of dull light filtering through a gauzy certain. A biting winter wind cuts through the broken window near the candle tossing that curtain closer to the burning wick. The flame.. Doesn't move.

Leave Our Town Alone. Stop Snooping. A threatening message on a very flimsy medium. The colder winter breeze makes the cocktail napkin flap and flutter in your hand. The smell of the lake, the woods and decay of this place drifts by on the same wind. A number of questions arise in the silence, like just who is warning you off of the case of Phillip Creek.

In this episode, Eric and Ben Hamlin, Barrister at Clifton Chambers, explore how government policies and regulations can unintentionally stifle competition in New Zealand, affecting everything from healthcare to supermarkets. They discuss the challenges posed by current laws, particularly the 'Crown exception' in competition law, and propose reforms aimed at creating a more competitive economy, including regular reviews of competition restrictions and greater justification for government-imposed market limitations.

A lone candle flickers on a silver tray in the dark basement beneath the Lake Arkansas church. It's light crackles against the dirt walls in this dank space that smells strongly of whiskey mash and mushrooms. Hardly a dead end, this single candle illuminates that something odd is happening in this tiny town of less than a dozen people. TW// death and grief, vehicle accidents and drowning.

It turns out that once you snoop through a man's bedroom, you can learn a lot about him. Whether it's the occult books on the bookshelf, the brass telescope in his bedroom, the strained relationship with his family or the crumpled up contract in his locked bedside table.

Going forward, we'll be putting the trigger warnings and the bottom of the first paragraph of the description. It's a new dawn at Lake Arkansas and the nightmare of what happened last night in the Lakeside Dive is over for now.

TW // Ghosts, Grief, Afterlives “Why do I get the idea that you two know way more about this than I do?” After the encounter that Saint and Alister had on the second floor, it seems that Phillip Creek is not as dearly departed as previously thought. With a bar full of patrons and a whole small town to answer to, it's up to our investigators to dive a little deeper into the events leading to Phillip's demise.

No Ezra this week, beloved listeners, so we're having our dear friend Ben Hamlin of Syndicated with Leslie and Ben and Parascience back to talk with us about something we didn't realize we were so passionate about: Movie Trailers! After catching up with Ben on what he's Sneeped recently, our trio dive in to trailers they've recently seen, ones they remember from their childhood, and trends they both like and dislike. There's also a decent amount of discussion on why trailers are the way they are today (negative), and why they find it hard to care about the trailers when they sit down in the theater these days. There is, shockingly, more than a little bit of getting off topic but to be fair, the group remembered that not everyone knows who Kit Fisto is and that caused a mild ruckus. If you want more Ben related content, you can listen to him talk TV on Syndicated with Leslie and Ben, run a creeping and crawling tabletop game with Matty and Ezra on Parascience, and find him (and Matty!) on twitch.tv/infinitybreakgaming every Tuesday at 6:30 PST for Chaos in Stereo!

TW // Ghosts The atmosphere within the Lakeside Bar and Grill is lively, loving, charming. It's enough to put you at ease and almost make you forget why you came here. That was, until a haunting chord reverberated out of the previously inspected jukebox. An icy chill creeps over the bar as everyone draws their attention to that specific corner.

TW // Drowning. Ghosts. The signs of the supernatural aren't materializing very clearly, but the glow of the neon signs of the Lakeside Bar flicker and permeate the room. The Lakeside is hopping. It's as hopping as it'll ever be. That's Alister and Saint's cue to do what they do best - blend in with the locals and look for clues.

TW // Drowning. Ghosts. Alongside the fog over the lake, there is a cloud of grief hanging over the Lakeside Bar and Grill. The building is empty save for their host, Lefty Douglas, but the signs of mourning are sprinkled throughout the bar. Flower petals drift from the memorial wreath in the corner. The slow drip of the kitchen sink can be heard through the fry cook window. A lone radio plays in the kitchen. The light buzz of a neon sign flickers in the front window. There's a stillness in here, but perhaps, not for long. ParaScience is an actual play, paranormal horror podcast told through Fate.

TW // Drowning. Ghosts. Town would be a generous way to describe the scattered buildings around Lake Arkansas. A settlement. Maybe. One gas station. One convenience store. One bar. A handful of off the grid homes and trailers. And one, massive, lake. This is a place very few people call home. A bridge, one of the two connections to the half town, stretches across the expanse of the lake. There is nothing but water below it and the cloudy Texan sky above it. A thick mist hangs over Lake Arkansas today and because of that, the bridge across the expansive lake seems to stretch on forever, disappearing into the haze of the fog, It's disorienting to say the least.  ParaScience is an actual play, paranormal horror podcast told through Fate.

TW // Drowning With Springwood Lodge in the rearview, Alister and Saint head south back to Saint's hometown of Austin, Texas. Just when it seems like Saint and Alister may be parting ways, Saint receives a phone call from a family friend with a specific offer to look into a bar in the countryside.

Like a Séance, this is an opportunity to catch up. We realized that we've been a little too quiet for too long, and so we wanted to provide some details on the upcoming Chapter Six: The Haunting of Lakeside Dive, as well as announce some side projects that we've been working on during our brief hiatus. Expect a lot of ParaScience, here and on our Patreon, in your immediate future. In a sense, this is an omen of what's to come. Be afraid. Tell your friends.

A parking scam has left a bunch of concert goers, who thought they were doing a charitable thing, hundreds of dollars out of pocket. The Foo Fighters fans were dup'd by a man offering 20 dollar parking outside a charity, near Mount Smart stadium on Saturday night. Turns out he was not legit and concert goers returned to the spot post concert to find their vehicles had been towed for illegal parking. One concert goer had to pay about four hundred dollars in fees to get his car back from the enforcement company. Clifton Chambers lawyer Ben Hamlin speaks to Lisa Owen.

A lawyer says it would be useful to have a look at regulations around parking fines.   Some concert goers at a Foo Fighters show in Auckland were left hundreds of dollars out of pocket after a parking scam led to them being towed.   Clifton Chambers Barrister Ben Hamlin says people will have to pay the fee, but they can raise a dispute after the fact around if the fee was reasonable.   He told Tim Dower that there's room for reform.    Hamlin says there should be a maximum fee for private towing, same as there is for public carparks.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TW // death, ghosts, the afterlife, cults It's been a harrowing night in Springwood Lodge, but it seems the haunting that has so long inhabited the beams and stonework may have passed into the night with the Visitor. The snow continues to drift down past the rose window at the end of the chapel and a broken Julian Springwood huddles on the ground in the darkness. The malevolent energy that was here, in this room, has largely faded. But it's not gone. Not in a place as shrouded in misery as Springwood Lodge.  ParaScience is an actual play, paranormal horror podcast told through Fate.

No Ezra this week, beloved listeners, but in exchange we have a much anticipated (by us) episode to share - the return of Ben Hamlin to talk the Scream series! After a robust What We Sneep (per usual), we delve right into what we love about the series and what drew us into the Scream movies in the first place. From there, we sidetrack into Scream 5+6 and what we….don't like about the new entries in the series, especially in comparison to the older films. The episode wraps up on a more positive note with us all listing us our favorite moments from the series. We do spend the whole episode sounding like Randy, but that's probably not surprising. Dewey if you read this we're free (next?) Thursday night and would like to hang out. Please respond to this and then hang out with us on Thursday night when we're free.

It's a What We Sneep this week on Sneople at the Movies as we catch up on what we've watched this summer, but this time we're joined by a returning guest - Ben Hamlin of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben! Starting with Ben, all three hosts go through what they've watched since late May - this runs the gamut from Mad God (2021) to Heat (1995) to Die Another Day (2002) to Paprika (2006) to Barton Fink (1991) while hitting nearly every genre in between. They also talk a lot about Better Call Saul since both Ben and Helena are enthusiastically rewatching it - Bob Odenkirk, hello. Completely unrelated to what they all saw, Ben teaches Matty and Helena about The Dark Universe. If you don't know what it is, you're in for a treat.

We're down a Helena this week on Sneople at the Movies, but in exchange we have a very special guest - Ben Hamlin of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben and ParaScience (aka Producer Ben who is also our friend). He also suggested our topic this week: Horror movies focused on Haunted Locations! The assorted Sneople and guest break down different variations on this topic (such as places that are haunted because you're stuck there with something versus places that have always been haunted, etc.) and then talk about some of their favorites and why they like the subgenre so much. This discussion covers movies such as Alien, Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, The Thing (1982), The Shining, Amityville Horror, and more! If you think about it, this is also kind of a ParaScience crossover episode since all three of them are on that show. This is your sign to listen to ParaScience.
