These are songs of discernment and hope, with simple and effective production, offering a blueprint for better days. The Ballads Of The Last Light by Gea Wildwood favorite track One Step Away From Dawn Italian Gea Wildwood has collaborated with Canadian fantasy author Nick Betts here. Together they wrote the lyrics to two of the songs, and besides her dulcet vocals, she plays acoustic guitar, cello, zither, and Native American flute. Each song represents a different book of Betts' pentalogy, “Fates of Aten,” and are done in a medieval/Celtic style. All The Pretty Little Horses by Witch Of The Vale & Melanie Witch of the Vale with, yes, you heard me right, Melanie, take the classic little lullaby into darker territory. Spine-tinglingly spooky FREE! by David Carroll favorite track The Female Transport Folk rocker David Carroll returns with a few of his friends for some more rollicking and frolicking with traditional tunes under the guise of Bold Reynold. There are both male and female vocals here, plus instrumentation including crumhorns, cor anglais, uilleann pipes, fiddle, bouzouki, dulcimer, bass, percussion, and of course, electric guitar. Human Music: Live Improvisations I by Jessica Roch favorite track St. John on Bethnal Green, Oct. ’24 Multi-instrumentalist Jessica Roch is a classically trained violinist and pianist, but that doesn't stop her from exploring far afield. Here, she is improvising live, and the pieces are both spare and rich. She conceived this as “a protest and rejection of AI generated music,” and it illustrates beautifully that AI just isn't a substitute for artistry. The Cicadas by Dead Can Dance This is more Brendan Perry, solo, than DCD, but I feel this latest single captures much of the spirit of the incandescent duo. It's very medieval in feel, and the dissonant female chorus lightens up the darkness. Donn/Dubh by Arun Sood & Angeline Morrison favorite track A Rìbhinn a Bheil Cuimhn’ Agad Collaboration between Arun Sood and Angeline Morrison, this is altogether haunting. And fittingly so, as it is an exploration of ancient Celtic texts, which referred differing wind directions to certain colours. Chill-inducing, it feels as if you've suddenly awoken to find you have traversed time and found yourself on desolate shores, with music and voices drifting on the currents of wind. The Gods Laugh by Alison Cotton favorite track Sprigs of Heather UK Multi-instrumentalist and composer utilizes viola, harmonium, piano, percussion, and synths, plus her vocals on this drone-y psych-y folk-y release. She sometimes reaches into avant/ambient territory, further cementing the overall haunting atmosphere. Borrow or Rob by Andrew Bird favorite track Tables and Chairs (Orchestral Version) This is a reimagining of some of the pieces honouring a 20-year old release, that somehow skipped my attention at the time. Andrew is a superb violinist and vocalist, who writes very quirky songs that mostly touch on folk, rock and swing, and he whistles like nobody's business. Most of these are being performed with orchestra, live, on this outing. Sorry I missed the boat the first time, but I'm a happy passenger now. With snacks! The Dark by CHELSEA WOLFE favorite track Cold Dark gothic folk doom artist Chelsea Wolfe continues in her signature introspective and observational songwriting that define her work. The production is mostly hushed, with washy, fuzzed, and at times, bombastic guitars, provided by notable guests. These are all songs of loss, whether chosen or inflicted. Her anguished vocals and lyrics really cut to the heart of processing deep grief, and she finally finds solace among the night stars, and perhaps, even a ghost that she is mourning. Of The Birds by The Thorn This is the other single released this year by the artists formerly known as Large Plants. With it's fuzzy guitars, sweet vocals, and lysergic harmonies, this is gorgeous folk rock, harkening back to it's heyday, and perfectly executed.

Blood on the Sawdust: The Brutal World of Victorian Boxing Episode Overview In this 9th Anniversary Special, we step out of the West End drawing rooms and into the blood-flecked, sawdust-covered floors of 19th-century “Fancy” public houses. Inspired by the depiction of East End street culture in A Thousand Blows, this episode explores the history of Victorian boxing—from the illegal bare-knuckle bouts of the Regency era to the gentrified, gloved sport codified under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. We examine how prizefighting evolved from a brutal survival strategy into a national obsession, the legal cat-and-mouse games played across county lines, and the medical and physical toll extracted from the fighters. We also dive into the remarkable life of international combat instructor Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery and uncover the overlooked history of 19th-century female prizefighters. Key Topics Covered: Housekeeping & AI Voice Policy: Why the podcast is permanently stepping away from AI-generated voice models in favour of human research, along with updates on replacement recording equipment and audio access. The “Sweet Science” & Prizefighting History: How bare-knuckle fighting functioned as a mix of martial arts, local wrestling, and survival in an era where the body was often a worker’s sole asset. The Structural Cage of the Law: The jurisdictional loopholes that allowed fights to flourish on county borders, and the evolution of legal precedents from R v Billingham (1825) to R v Coney (1882). The Aristocratic “Fancy” & Early Pioneers: The rise of sports journalism via Pierce Egan's Boxiana, and landmark international contests like the 1810 bout between Tom Cribb and former American slave Tom Molineaux. Case Study – The Ruin of Harry Broome: Following the career arc of Harry Broome from his controversial match at Acorn Bridge to his defeat by Tom Paddock and his eventual death in poverty. The Queensberry Transition: Why the introduction of gloves in 1867 was viewed with suspicion by working-class fighters, and how padded gloves inadvertently increased the long-term risk of chronic brain injury. Gentlemen, Self-Defence & Martial Arts: Highlights from Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery's C19th treatise Self Defence for Ladies and Gentlemen, including his views on boxing over firearms and his praise for female swordmasters. Women in the Ring: The subversion of Victorian gender norms, focusing on the 1888 world championship bout between Hattie Leslie and Alice Leary, and the legal outrage that followed.

What happens when a poet who survived prison sits down with the world's oldest war story--and reads it in three sleepless, wandering days? In this second episode of the EconTalk Book Club on the Iliad, Dwayne Betts and EconTalk host Russ Roberts trade their impressions of the Iliad, discovering it's less about war than about fathers, friendship, and the stubborn dignity people find inside fates they can't escape. Betts connects Achilles's rage and grief to his own experience of incarceration and depression, while Roberts marvels at Homer's cinematic style and the strange tenderness between enemies. Together they unpack the shield of Achilles, the ransom of Hector's body, and how an ancient poem about war still cracks readers open today. It's a conversation about reading as communion--and how a 2,800-year-old story became, unexpectedly, a way of connecting to each other.
Dalton talks about Roki's strong start and the incredible play from Pages to Betts to Rushing in the 8th inning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more than 20 years, Mayday Parade has been one of the defining bands of the pop-punk and emo scene. From packed clubs and Warped Tour parking lots to sold-out venues around the world, they've built a career that has stood the test of time while continuing to connect with new generations of fans. On this episode of Caught on the Mike, guitarist Brooks Betts joins me for a conversation about the band's incredible longevity, staying creative after two decades together, the evolution of the scene, life on the road, and the challenges and rewards of keeping Mayday Parade moving forward year after year. We also discuss the band's ambitious anniversary era, the collaborative songwriting process behind recent music, the return of Vans Warped Tour, and what it means to still be creating and performing at a high level twenty years into the journey.

Pastor, Freshwind International Ministries. Mary Tellis, Pastor, Solomon Temple Missionary Baptist Church Terrence (Big T) Hughes and moderator Bro Jeff Fard. Inspiration: by Big T I followed the Marvin Booker Murder and trial for four straight years. Our Church, New Covenant Christian Church, supported the family when they were in town, ensuring they had food and other essentials to make their stay comfortable as they traveled a long road for Justice for Marvin. I watched a family continue to support their elderly parents, who were determined to see justice for their son. However, central to it all was a man who was a street preacher like me, who stood up for himself, and they killed him because he only wanted his shoes! His dignity in the face of oppression inspired me to write this play. As his mentor, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was Marvin's Muse for all those years, the letter from A Birmingham Jail became my muse through the voice and vision of Marvin Louis Booker Street Preacher!

Can We Really Overcome Sin? (Romans 6:1–16) - Dr. T. J. Betts
Phil and Emily continue the Angelina Jolie action films miniseries with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — The Cradle of Life (2003), joined by Carson Betts and Caroline Thompson, co-hosts of the How Have You Not Seen It podcast. All four participants are watching this film for the first time. This is relevant information.The Cradle of Life follows Lara Croft racing to find Pandora's Box before a rogue scientist with strong Peter Thiel energy can use it as a biological weapon, with complications provided by her ex-lover Terry Sheridan, played by Gerard Butler. It cost $95 million, grossed $160 million worldwide, and opened July 25th, 2003 against Spy Kids 3D, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bad Boys 2, and Seabiscuit. It received three stars from Roger Ebert, which nearly convinced Emily to see it in theaters that summer. She saw The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen instead. Phil does not believe she made the better choice. The film was also banned in China for giving the impression of a country in chaos overrun by secret societies. Hollywood had not yet figured that out.The consensus is that this movie is more competent than the first Tomb Raider along nearly every axis, which somehow makes it less enjoyable. Phil calls it dumb and not fun, as opposed to the first film, which was dumb and fun. Emily notes the big action set piece in the middle is a shootout in a lab, which she finds strange given the title. The group also covers Jan de Bont's filmography and what it means that this was his final film, the Sasquatch creatures that the script introduces and then declines to explain, and the actual Cradle of Life, which turns out to be visually underwhelming in a way that Carson compares to a YouTube video that will not load.The true climax, Carson argues, was always going to be in Lara's heart.This is the third installment of the miniseries on Angelina Jolie's 2000s action films, following Gone in 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.Follow the show and guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsCarson Betts — https://www.instagram.com/carsonlbettsCaroline Thompson — https://www.instagram.com/sportclimbbarbieHow Have You Not Seen It — https://www.instagram.com/hhynspod

Are We Human? Flourishing in the Age of AI: Genesis 1:26-27 | Part 1 (Nathan Betts) by Highlands Community Church
Fasting, nutrient timing, chrono-nutrition, and continuous glucose monitoring are all topics that have generated substantial interest, but they are also areas where exaggerated claims can easily outpace the underlying evidence. In many cases, tentative hypotheses are presented as if they were already well-established conclusions, despite the fact that the research base is often more mixed and context-dependent than popular narratives imply. It is one thing for an idea to appear biologically coherent. It is another for that idea to translate into meaningful, reliable effects in real-world interventions. In this episode, Professor James Betts discusses how to think clearly about these topics, why common errors in interpretation can lead to overstated conclusions, and what is required to properly evaluate whether an observed effect reflects a true intervention effect rather than baseline differences, inappropriate comparisons, within-group changes, or mechanistic signals being mistaken for meaningful health outcomes.

I met Tim Betts a few weeks ago when he was shopping for a Willemin mill-turn we had for sale. One conversation in and I knew he had to come on Swarfcast. Tim told me he’s in the drugs business, the guns business, and horse racing, and that actually makes him one of the most heavily regulated businessmen in America. Seriously, he’s a compounding pharmacist, he machines precision rifle parts, and he manufactures race bikes for harness racing around the world. And he’s all in on every one of them.

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swarfcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swarfcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/todays-machining-world Twitter: https://twitter.com/tmwswarfblog ************* Link to Graff-Pinkert's Acquisitions and Sales promotion! ************* Interview Highlights Guns Tim co-owns Procision Arms with his partner Jason, who runs the shop while Tim runs the office. They spotted a real gap in the market. Small and mid-sized gun builders were getting squeezed by venture capital firms buying up precision rifle component manufacturers, jacking up prices and cutting margins. Tim and Jason built their processes from the ground up to fill that void. Today they’re a full OEM shop producing parts to aerospace tolerances for bolt action hunting rifles. Five-axis machining, horizontal mills, EDM, serious work. Drugs Tim has a doctorate in pharmacy and works for a compounding pharmacy in southeastern Pennsylvania. Compounding means making custom medications that either don’t exist commercially or have been abandoned by drug companies as unprofitable. The work is intensely creative. If a child or animal won’t take a pill, you find another way. Tim’s team once made antibiotics for a rhino who happened to love Rice Krispie treats, so they baked the dose into a full 9×9 pan. They’ve also embedded pills into fish to medicate penguins. It’s a business tightly regulated by the FDA and more manufacturing than most people realize. Horses Tim and his brothers grew up in harness racing. Both of their grandfathers trained horses and his brother is a full-time trainer today. Tim also owns a company that manufactures the sulkies, the two-wheeled race bikes the horses pull. They ship them to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and South America. It’s a genuinely global manufacturing business inside a niche sport most people have never thought about. When Worlds Collide, Good Things Happen At first glance, these three worlds have nothing to do with each other. But the overlaps keep showing up. Veterinarians, some of Tim’s core pharmacy customers, turn out to be disproportionately into hunting and shooting, so pharmacy relationships open firearms doors. He met a major firearms customer through the horse world. And the problem-solving mindset carries across all three. As Tim puts it, the trial and error in pharmacy looks a lot like dialing in a new tool path in the shop. “This carrier didn’t really work at the pH it has to be at, so we have to try a different carrier. It’s a lot of the same type of things from a production standpoint.” His wife says she never knows when he takes a phone call at seven in the evening whether it’s going to be about horses, guns, machining, or pharmacy. Tim just shrugs. “Never a dull moment.”
Reginald Dwayne Betts was incarcerated as a teenager and spent nearly nine years in prison. While inside, he discovered literature and poetry, including during time in solitary confinement, where books were treated as contraband. After his release, he went on to become a nationally recognized poet, a Yale-trained lawyer, and the founder of Freedom Reads, an organization bringing handcrafted libraries directly into prison cellblocks. His work sits at the intersection of accountability, reentry, dignity, literature, and the question of whether America truly believes people can change. In this incredibly intriguing interview, Bob and Dwayne have a deep and meaningful conversation about not only the work that Dwayne does...but also about identity.Please consider donating to Freedom Reads at THIS LINK.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.

Intermittent fasting may help with blood sugar, appetite, fat loss, and energy. But many people do it wrong. In this episode, Professor James Betts, one of the world's leading experts on meal timing and its metabolic effects, explains what fasting actually is, how long you need to fast to see changes, and the key mistakes that can stop the benefits. Today, we break down what happens in your body when you stop eating and explain why it may support weight loss and blood sugar control, but also why fasting doesn't work for everyone. You will learn why breakfast may not matter, why the 5:2 diet often fails, and why eating even small amounts can stop a true fast. By the end of this episode, you will understand what counts as a real fast, how long your eating window may need to be, why longer is not always better if you cannot stick to it, and why planning your first meal matters, because hunger can drive poor choices. If fasting can work, but is not magic, what actually makes the difference: the timing, the consistency, or simply eating less?

You ever have one of those moments where you're surrounded by people, notifications blowing up your phone, group chats buzzing, social media lighting up… and yet somehow you still feel disconnected? Yeah, same. That's exactly why this conversation hits different. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Barb Betts, international keynote speaker, CEO, and author of The Relationship Advantage, to unpack what it really means to build authentic, meaningful relationships in a world that's more connected than ever, yet somehow feels more disconnected too. Barb has spent over 23 years building businesses and leading high performing teams, including running a seven figure business for more than a decade with zero ad spend and no cold outreach. Let that sink in. Her entire success has been built on real human connection. Not hacks. Not shortcuts. Just genuine relationships rooted in trust. But what makes this episode powerful is not just her business success. It's her story. Barb opens up about growing up feeling lonely and disconnected, being bullied as a kid, and learning early on how to wear masks just to fit in. Later in life, she faced severe hair loss and made the bold decision to stop hiding and fully embrace her truth. That moment became a turning point. Not just in her confidence, but in how she shows up for others. And that's really what this episode is about. Learning how to show up as your real self, and how that one shift can transform your relationships, your business, and your entire life. This conversation matters because most people think relationships are just a “nice to have.” Barb makes it clear they are everything. Your health, your happiness, your success, all of it is tied to the quality of your connections. A few key takeaways really stood out. First, the most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. If you are not honest with who you are, if you are constantly hiding behind a version of yourself you think people will accept, then your connections will always feel surface level. Real connection starts with self-acceptance. Second, relationships are either growing or fading. There is no middle ground. Barb calls this drift, and it is the silent killer of connection. It is not conflict that breaks most relationships. It is time, distance, and lack of intentional communication. Third, you need a system. This is where most people drop the ball. We all say relationships matter, but very few people actually build habits around nurturing them. Barb shares a simple but powerful approach, stay in touch consistently with the people who matter most. Even small check ins can keep relationships strong and thriving. Fourth, authenticity is your greatest advantage. In a world full of filters, bots, and fake personas, people can feel what is real. When you lead with honesty and vulnerability, you give others permission to do the same. That is where trust is built. And finally, connection requires intention. Whether it is sending a thoughtful message, remembering a detail about someone's life, or simply reaching out when they cross your mind, these small actions compound into deep, meaningful relationships over time. This episode is a reminder that success is not just about what you achieve, it is about who you do life with along the way. If you have been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just craving deeper relationships, this conversation will hit home.
