Brita Ostrom is the author of the new memoir "Steeped: A Bug Sur Elixir of Sulfur and Sage," a vivid, intimate, and often wonderfully unsentimental account of her life in Big Sur and at Esalen during 1967 and 1968. Brita arrived in California during a hinge moment in American culture: she landed in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco nine months before the Summer of Love, smack dab in the middle of the psychedelic revolution and the early flowering of the human potential movement. From there, she made her way down the coast to Big Sur, and eventually to Esalen. During this conversation, Britt talks about sleeping outside on the land, about all the local music that seemed to appear everywhere, the early days of Gestalt and encounter, the role of psychedelics, the emergence of Esalen massage, the complicated freedoms of sexual liberation, and the ways women at Esalen began to find one another as allies in a community that was still very much shaped by male teachers, male authority, and male mythology. Brita's perspective neither romanticizes the period nor flattens it into critique. She remembers the beauty, the wildness, the tenderness, the bad behavior, the spiritual ambition, the confusion, and the sheer strangeness of a place where a person might dance under the stars one night, confront their childhood wounds the next morning, give massage in the baths that afternoon, and then end up in a conversation that night with someone who had just wandered in from the outer edge of American culture.

Travels With Randy Summer Of '26 Episode 1 is here! Up The West Coast On Hwy 1  West Coast Travel and Real Estate Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's recent travels along the West Coast after completing a 17-podcast series about Route 66. They compared weather patterns between different regions, with Randy noting the benefits of spring weather in Washington compared to tornado season in the Midwest. The conversation also covered real estate price increases in California, with Randy sharing how his childhood home in Placentia appreciated from $37,000 in 1967 to $1.3 million currently, and they discussed future housing needs as they approach retirement age. US Road Trip Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's recent road trip across the United States, including his journey from Route 66 to California and his decision to take the scenic coastal route along Highway 1. They talked about the significant difference in gas prices between California and other states, with Randy noting prices reached $7.50 per gallon in some areas of California. Randy shared interesting facts about Highway 101 being created on the same day as Route 66's centennial, making it one of only a few highways still celebrated from that original group of over 180 numbered highways. Recent Road Trip and Adventures Randy shared details about his recent road trip, including a golf game where he lost by one stroke due to a poor final hole performance. He described visiting Albuquerque and having dinner with his girlfriend Cindy in California for her 60th birthday. The conversation also covered Randy's car brake issues, which required a $1,300 repair after hearing squeaking noises, and his enjoyment of driving along Highway 1 and Highway 101, particularly appreciating the scenic ocean views during early morning drives. Road Trip from Oxnard to Lompoc Randy described a road trip from Oxnard to Lompoc, explaining the route options along highways 1 and 101, and shared details about visiting Channel Islands National Park and Hearst Castle. He noted challenges with morning fog during the trip and recommended allocating time for both Channel Islands and Hearst Castle visits. The conversation ended with a discussion about national parks, particularly questioning how some sites like Gateway Arch and New River Gorge became national parks. National Park Designation Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the process of national park designations, with Randy expressing disappointment about Indiana Dunes and speculating that Channel Islands became a national park due to favors or political reasons. They discussed the challenges with Route 66, with Randy advocating for it to be managed as a national park or byway to ensure consistent signage and routing. The conversation shifted to Randy's current trip following Highway 1 in California, including his visit to Hearst Castle, and they briefly discussed the location's history and the challenges of accessing Big Sur due to road damage. TV Pilot Script Discussion Randy shared details about a TV pilot script he wrote during an internship at MTM, inspired by the Newhart show and set at Big Sur Inn, which he struggled to get produced despite trying to interest Lindsey Wagner's agent. He reflected on how persistence and timing rather than overnight success determine career outcomes, particularly noting how AI tools would have significantly changed his college film production experience. The conversation concluded with Bubba sharing a personal connection to the Little River Inn in Mendocino, which Randy had previously visited and planned to post photos of later that week. Highway 1 Driving Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed driving on Highway 1, comparing the experience of driving versus being a passenger due to the road's challenging hairpin turns and lack of guardrails. Randy shared a story about encountering aggressive motorcycle riders on the same road, leading to an accident with another motorist. They also discussed the scenic route from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco, including the view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the option to visit Alcatraz Island. Alcatraz and Infrastructure Discussions Bubba and Randy discussed their visits to Alcatraz in San Francisco, sharing memories of the self-guided tours and the historical context of the island. They also talked about the constant maintenance required for the Golden Gate Bridge and compared it to other infrastructure projects. The conversation shifted to challenges in modern construction, particularly the difficulties in building data centers and bullet trains, and they briefly discussed the potential for building data centers in space. Space Data Center Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the benefits of placing data centers in space, particularly on the moon, due to reduced cooling requirements and other advantages. They reflected on the rapid pace of technological advancement, comparing it to historical innovations like the personal computer and internet, and highlighted how AI technologies like ChatGPT are being adopted quickly and are already integral to daily workflows, as demonstrated by Randy's use of AI in photo processing. They also noted that while technological change can be unsettling, especially regarding job impacts, the current pace of innovation is unprecedented and continues to evolve rapidly. AI Tools for Work Efficiency Randy and Bubba discussed their experiences using AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT to improve efficiency in their work. Randy shared how he uses Gemini to proofread and fact-check his social media posts, while Bubba described how he leverages AI to manage his book business, including analyzing inventory and making purchasing decisions. They also discussed the challenges some people face when retiring early, noting that staying mentally and socially active is important for overall well-being. Travel Content Planning Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming travel content plans, with Randy planning to visit San Francisco and Alcatraz next week before covering northern California up to the Oregon border. They agreed to continue their weekly podcast discussions throughout the summer, focusing on travel topics including the Oregon coast and Northern California's wine regions. Bubba mentioned their Facebook page has grown to 37,000 followers and suggested exploring Hearst Castle during future West Coast trips. SO. MANY.

Today we have Anita. She is 49 years old from Bend, OR and she took her last drink on January 4th, 2026.   This episode is brought to you by:   Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help   [03:14] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us that in the upcoming interview, he and the guest talk about religion. While he knows this can be a triggering topic for some, including him, he encourages us to be open minded to both the interview and religion in general.   [12:38] Paul introduces Anita:   Anita is 49 years old, lives in Bend, OR she is single and works as a family doctor. Much of her family also lives in the area. Anita enjoys hiking, cold plunges, dancing and frequently travels to Esalen in Big Sur.   Anita was raised in a Christian cult called but went to public schools which left her feeling anxious and nervous all the time. She says the didn't have a TV at home, so Anita would find herself reading comics and snacking. This later developed into an eating disorder as she grew into adolescence.   Anita graduated from high school and attended a Christian college in Michigan. Being a rule follower, Anita didn't drink much before she was 21. Her drinking remained rather moderate while she was addressing her eating disorder. She was attending Overeaters Anonymous and followed a meal plan that didn't include alcohol.   After about five years, Anita became an atheist and decided she didn't want to practice medicine anymore. She decided to trust the universe and move to southern California, but it didn't go well for Anita, and she moved back to Oregon after four years.   Anita would go back and forth with alcohol over the years, but up until this past January, would always find herself going back. With a stressful job helping others, drinking was a way to regroup at the end of the day. On January 5th, Anita stumbled across a copy of Paul's book Alcohol is Shit she had in her office and started reading. From there, she started listening to the RE podcast and found herself deeply identifying with an interview Paul had with Sarah (episode 568).   Anita agrees that there is power in listening to others' stories. Acknowledging that she was a high-functioning alcohol user, Anita believes that we get to choose how low we go. She says while she still thinks of alcohol, it doesn't nip at her heels the way it used to. Intuitively she knows that it is toxic and no longer wants to use alcohol in her existence. Without alcohol she knows she can create more realness in her life that will help her address whatever is thrown at her. Anita believes in being open about her recovery and telling others that she doesn't drink. She continues to listen to podcasts, recently joined Café RE, reads books and watches YouTube videos. She has started interacting with nature more so it can reteach her where her place is in life.   Anita's parting piece of guidance: give it a chance. If you're listening to this, you're already conflicted about it. Give your heart a chance to have a day without alcohol and see where that takes you.   Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys.   RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube Café RE – THE social app for sober people      

In this stop on the Backwoods Cryptid Roadtrip, we drive into California and explore two of the most enduring cryptid traditions in North America. We begin in the Santa Lucia Mountains above Big Sur, where settlers, ranchers, schoolteachers, hikers, soldiers, and tourists have for centuries reported tall silent figures standing on the ridgelines.Known as Los Vigilantes Oscuros, or the Dark Watchers, these silhouetted beings appear at dawn or dusk, wear what witnesses describe as long cloaks and broad-brimmed hats, and vanish the moment anyone tries to close the distance. We trace the history of these reports through Salinan, Esselen, and Chumash traditions, into the Spanish mission era beginning with Padre Junipero Serra in seventeen seventy-one, and forward into the published work of John Steinbeck, whose nineteen thirty-eight short story Flight placed the watchers into American literature, and the poet Robinson Jeffers, who wrote of the same figures in his nineteen thirty-seven poem Such Counsels You Gave to Me.Then we travel north into the redwood country, into the Six Rivers, the Klamath, the Trinity Alps, and the Marble Mountain Wilderness, where the Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk peoples have spoken of Oh-Mah, the boss of the woods, for as long as their oral traditions reach back. We walk through the nineteen fifty-eight Bluff Creek story that gave the name Bigfoot to the world, beginning with bulldozer operator Jerry Crew, foreman Wilbur Wallace, and Humboldt Times columnist Andrew Genzoli, and we spend the bulk of the episode in encounter territory.Hunters who watched a hair-covered figure ford a creek and turn to look back. Families who heard screams answer each other across redwood campgrounds at midnight. Backpackers who listened to rhythmic wood-knocking trade across a Marble Mountain lake. Truckers who saw something step a guardrail in one stride on Highway 96. River guides on the Klamath, forestry technicians in the Trinity Alps, fishermen on the Smith River, hunters on the Mendocino, residents of the Hoopa Valley who simply live alongside what their grandmothers told them was there.This is a California most postcards never show. The watchers above, the giants below, and the question that connects them.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

On this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with poet, astrologer, and author Heidi Rose Robbins to explore what it means to move through change with more presence, creativity, and trust. Together, they reflect on what the Moon Studio is calling the “year of the pivot”—a time of reinvention, letting go, and becoming someone new, often without having a clear plan. They talk about how to navigate these moments without forcing clarity or perfection, and why the smallest steps can be the most powerful place to begin. Heidi shares how poetry, astrology, and daily practices like writing can become a tool to help us move through uncertainty with more compassion. The two also explore the role of repetition in creativity, the importance of showing up consistently (even imperfectly), and how structure can support us as we evolve. In this episode, you'll hear: Why 2026 is a “year of the pivot” and what that actually means How to take the first step when you don't feel ready Using poetry and writing as a tool for emotional alchemy Letting go of urgency and reconnecting to presence Why repetition—not perfection—is the key to creative work The power of daily practices (like Heidi's “Moon Notes”) How astrology can be a tool for self-compassion and connection Learning to trust timing, cycles, and your own inner knowing This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and trust that something new may already be opening.

The event celebrated California's extraordinary creative landscape, and today's guest has been shaping the way Californians live, work, and gather for three decades. Barbara Bestor is the founder of Bestor Architecture, a Los Angeles studio she's led since 1995 — at a time when very few women were doing so. Her work spans coffee shops and corporate headquarters, wineries and community music centers, private homes and historic restorations. She's on the AD 100 list of top architects and designers and has been called one of the most influential architects working in LA today. In this episode, she shares her process, her influences, and the places in California that never stop inspiring her — from a former cult compound in Joshua Tree to a secret rooftop garden at Walt Disney Concert Hall. On this episode, you'll learn: • What "informal formalism" means — and why it's the best description of California's design DNA • How the LA fires, post-COVID remote work, and multi-generational households are reshaping what people want from their homes • Why adaptive reuse is finally having its moment in California • How to actually crack the code on Ojai and Big Sur (hint: find the vegan restaurant and ask your server) Travel recommendations from Barbara: Los Angeles Take the stairs at LA Phil to the rooftop garden Walk the Bradbury Building lobby (free; you'll recognize it from Blade Runner), then cross to Grand Central Market and ride Angel's Flight back up to MOCA. For neighborhoods: Melrose Hill is the current place to be; Magnolia and Victory Blvd in the Valley are time-capsule California. Northern California Stay in the original Charles Moore–designed Condominium One at Sea Ranch In the Bay Area, stay at the Julia Morgan–designed Berkeley City Club Ojai & Big Sur In Ojai, go to a vegan restaurant and ask your server where to go — that's how you find the hidden hot springs. Hotel El Roblar (designed by Ramin Shamshiri) is the new splurge hotel in Ojai. In Big Sur, Nepenthe is the move: a Wright-influenced 1950s restaurant with a giant patio and sweeping views. Joshua Tree Drive in from the top and exit at the low desert — two completely different biomes. Stay at the Institute of Mentalphysics, where the rooms were designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright Catch a show at Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown, then detour to Palm Springs and take the Sunnylands tour for "peak high-sixties modernist golf living."

From the vibrant wilderness of Big Sur in California, we are joined by multidisciplinary artist Fletcher Tucker. Through the music label Gnome Life Records and the organisation Wildtender his work is deeply related to the re-enchantment of the world and establishing relation and dialogue with the land, with other awarenesses, with the more-than-human.

Page One, produced and hosted by author Holly Lynn Payne, celebrates the craft that goes into writing the first sentence, first paragraph and first page of your favorite books. The first page is often the most rewritten page of any book because it has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. We interview master storytellers on the struggles and stories behind the first page of their books. About the guest author: Rob Somers is a shaman in the Peruvian tradition and the shaman-in-residence at The Post Ranch Inn, California. Rob finds renewal and continual inspiration in exploring the backcountry of the Ventana Wilderness. He lives with his wife Amy in the mystical redwoods of Big Sur, where the mountains meet the sea, and where he wrote his debut book, Shamergence. About the host: Holly Lynn Payne is an award-winning novelist and writing coach, and the former CEO and founder of Booxby, a startup built to help authors succeed. She is an internationally published author of four historical fiction novels. Her debut, The Virgin's Knot, was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers book. She recently finished her first YA crossover novel inspired by her nephew with Down syndrome. She lives in Marin County with her daughter and enjoys mountain biking, surfing and hiking with her dog. To learn more about her books and private writing coaching services, please visit hollylynnpayne.com or find her at Instagram and Twitter @hollylynnpayne. If you have a first page you'd like to submit to the Page One Podcast, please do so here. As an author and writing coach, I know that the first page of any book has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. So I thought to ask your favorite master storytellers how they do their magic to hook YOU.  After the first few episodes, it occurred to me that maybe someone listening might be curious how their first page sits with an audience, so I'm opening up Page One to any writer who wants to submit the first page of a book they're currently writing.  If your page is chosen, you'll be invited onto the show to read it and get live feedback from one of Page One's master storytellers. Page One exists to inspire, celebrate and promote the work of both well-known and unknown creative talent.   You can listen to Page One on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher and all your favorite podcast players.  Hear past episodes.

In 1964, while guarding Minuteman nuclear missiles at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Barth says a non-human entity made contact — and delivered a warning about nuclear war that touches the heart of national security at its most classified level.On this episode of The Good Trouble Show, Matt Ford sits down with Barth and UFO researcher Robert Hastings — author of UFOs and Nukes and the man who spent 40 years documenting military UAP incidents at nuclear weapons facilities — for a conversation six decades in the making. It's one of the most compelling UAP witness accounts ever recorded: a credentialed military eyewitness, a nuclear missile site, and a message the government never wanted public. Barth's testimony raises questions about UAP incidents near nuclear weapons that UFO research has pursued for decades — and what national security agencies may still be hiding.Investigative.

Send a textIn this episode of A Big Sur Podcast, I sit down with Brita Ostrom — longtime Esalen resident and author of Steeped: A Big Sur Elixir of Sulfur and Sage.Brita's life bridges several revolutions at once: the islands of the Pacific Northwest, the Haight-Ashbury explosion of 1966–67, the psychedelic and political turbulence of the Summer of Love, and the early, formative years of the Esalen Institute.We talk about Haight Street — the overwhelming beauty of it all: the posters, the music, the saturated colors. And later, how the fog began to settle in. About sidewalks so crowded you could barely move, and children who quietly went missing. About free love and jealousy, about massage tables and incense, about the uneasy dance between material success and spiritual seeking.Brita describes arriving at Esalen for the first time — the candlelit baths, the shock of nakedness, the silkiness of sulfur water against cold skin. She reflects on figures like Fritz Perls, Storm, and Lars — and on what it meant to come of age inside a cultural experiment that promised liberation but carried its own tensions and blind spots.This is not nostalgia. It is a reckoning.What does it mean to “drop out”? What does it cost? What does it give?What remains when the fog clears?Brita's memoir is a meditation on community, intimacy, ritual, and the long arc of a life shaped by Big Sur's muse-like pull.As she writes in her dedication:“Dedicated to those who walk this earth while gazing at the stars.”I hope you'll enjoy this thoughtful, tender, and at times unsparing conversation.— MagnusEsalen InstituteHaight-AshburyGolden Gate ParkHenry Miller Memorial LibraryPeople MentionedFritz PerlsAlan WattsEbba MalmborgCarlos CastanedaCesar ChavezKen KeseyDennis MurphySelig MorgenrathBands of the Era (Referenced in the Conversation)Grateful DeadJefferson AirplaneMoby GrapeQuicksilver Messenger ServiceThe CharlatansSupport the show_________________________________________________This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!

You can find out about Kelso’s jail history tonight, Feb. 6, 2026. More specifically, his 3 days as a teenager in the Salinas County Jail for “camping in an unauthorized area”. I was sleeping on the ground in an unmarked area of Big Sur as I was hiking out of the Ventana Primitive Area in the 1960’s. Did Kelso’s love for big government take a turn for the worse at this juncture?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOBuilt in 1889, the Big Sur Lighthouse was designed to guide ships safely along California's rugged coastline.

BIG SUR REOPENS AND COPPER THEFT PLAGUES CALIFORNIA Colleague Jeff Bliss. Highway 1 in Big Sur has reopened after landslide repairs featuring new concrete canopies to protect the road. Bliss also details how copper thieves have crippled infrastructure in Sacramento and Los Angeles, contributing to broader political dissatisfaction with Governor Gavin Newsom regarding crime and the state's management. NUMBER 21900 CALIFORNIA ALLIGATOR TERM, LA

SHOW SCHEDULE1-17-251895 PARISLAS VEGAS TUNNELS AND THE RELOCATION OF THE ATHLETICS Colleague Jeff Bliss. Jeff Bliss reports on the expansion of The Boring Company's tunnels in Las Vegas, which use Tesla cars to alleviate traffic congestion. He also discusses the Athletics baseball team's temporary move to Sacramento and the legal complications regarding their team name as they prepare for a permanent move to Las Vegas in 2028. NUMBER 1BIG SUR REOPENS AND COPPER THEFT PLAGUES CALIFORNIA Colleague Jeff Bliss. Highway 1 in Big Sur has reopened after landslide repairs featuring new concrete canopies to protect the road. Bliss also details how copper thieves have crippled infrastructure in Sacramento and Los Angeles, contributing to broader political dissatisfaction with Governor Gavin Newsom regarding crime and the state's management. NUMBER 2FEDERAL IMMUNITY AND THE ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS Colleague Professor Richard Epstein. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the legal battle over whether ICE agents have immunity from state prosecution following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis. He explains the complexities of absolute versus qualified immunity, arguing that the agents' aggressive conduct might weaken their defense against state charges in this specific instance. NUMBER 3SUPREME COURT LIKELY TO STRIKE DOWN TRUMP TARIFFS Colleague Professor Richard Epstein. Epstein predicts the Supreme Court will invalidate the Trump administration's emergency tariffs, arguing there is no statutory basis for the trade imbalances cited as justification. He anticipates a fractured decision where a centrist block of justices joins liberals to rule that the executive branch exceeded its authority. NUMBER 4MEXICO'S ALIGNMENT WITH DICTATORS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's ideological support for the Cuban and Venezuelan regimes, including increased oil shipments to Havana. She also details a recent train derailment on Mexico's interoceanic line, attributing the failure to secrecy and no-bid contracts managed by the military. NUMBER 5ITALY STABILIZES PENSION COSTS AND CELEBRATES PASTA TARIFF CUTS Colleague Lorenzo Fiori. Lorenzo Fiori reports that despite high pension costs, Italy's economic reforms under Prime Minister Meloni have stabilized the system by increasing employment. Fiori notes that Italy's deficit and inflation have dropped significantly, and he celebrates the US decision to slash tariffs on Italian pasta imports. NUMBER 6SPACE STATION RETURNS, NUCLEAR MOON PLANS, AND BOEING STRUGGLES Colleague Bob Zimmerman. Bob Zimmerman discusses the early return of an ISS crew due to a medical issue and expresses skepticism about NASA's plan for a lunar nuclear reactor by 2030. He also highlights that the Space Force is shifting launches from ULA to SpaceX due to reliability concerns. NUMBER 7GLOBAL SPACE FAILURES AND CHINA'S REUSABLE CRAFT CLAIMS Colleague Bob Zimmerman. Zimmerman analyzes a failed Indian rocket launch that lost multiple payloads, though a Spanish prototype survived. He also critiques the European Space Agency for delays in debris removal missions and casts doubt on China's claims regarding a "new" reusable spacecraft, suggesting it relies on older suborbital technology. NUMBER 8DATA CENTERS STRAIN THE ELECTRICAL GRID Colleague Henry Sokolski. Henry Sokolski discusses the surging demand for electricity driven by AI data centers and the White House's proposal to auction power access. He argues that tech companies should finance their own off-grid generation, such as nuclear or gas, rather than forcing ratepayers to subsidize new transmission infrastructure. NUMBER 9ELON MUSK AND THE GOLDEN DOME DEFENSE PROPOSAL Colleague Henry Sokolski. Sokolski evaluates Elon Musk's proposal to create a "Golden Dome" missile defense system for the US. While the concept involves space-based sensors, Sokolski notes concerns regarding monopoly power, the reliance on a single contractor for national security, and the undefined costs of ground-based interceptors. NUMBER 10ECONOMIC LIBERTY AND THE LABOR MARKET IN THE AGE OF AI Colleague Kevin Frazier. Kevin Frazier explores how AI is reshaping the economy, noting that liberal arts graduates may be better positioned than STEM majors to handle new information synthesis. He advises legislators to focus on job creation and a fluid labor market rather than trying to protect obsolete professions through regulation. NUMBER 11EDUCATION REFORM AND THE AVOIDANCE OF A FEDERAL AI DEPARTMENT Colleague Kevin Frazier. Frazier argues for updating education, starting with teacher training in elementary schools and vocational partnerships in high schools, to prepare students for an AI future. He advises against creating a federal Department of AI, suggesting society should adapt to it as advanced computing rather than a unique threat. NUMBER 12SOVIET UNION'S SECRET 1972 LUNAR BASE AMBITIONS AND THE N1 ROCKET FAILURE Colleague Anatoli Zak, Publisher of RussianSpaceWeb.com. Anatoli Zak explains that in 1972, the Soviet Union pursued the L3M project to establish a permanent lunar base, refusing to concede the moon race immediately. However, repeated failures of the N1 rocket and the financial strain of competing with the US Space Shuttle eventually forced the program's cancellation. NUMBER 13ISS LAUNCHPAD ACCIDENT AND RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR ROLE IN CHINESE MOON BASE Colleague Anatoli Zak, Publisher of RussianSpaceWeb.com. A launchpad collapse has halted Russian cargo missions to the ISS, endangering the propellant supply required for critical orbit maintenance. Zak also details Russia's attempt to join China's lunar ambitions, with the Kurchatov Institute developing a nuclear reactor to provide electricity for a future Chinese moon base. NUMBER 14PERU NAMED NON-NATO PARTNER AS US COUNTERS CHINESE INFLUENCE Colleague Oscar Sumar, Deputy Vice Chancellor at Universidad Científica del Sur. Oscar Sumar discusses Peru's designation as a US non-NATO partner, a move designed to counter Chinese geopolitical expansion through infrastructure like the Chancay port. Sumar warns that while cultural ties are strong, the Chinese Communist Party poses a threat to Peru's democratic stability and political transparency. NUMBER 15ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN INDICATORS AND SECRECY AT THE WHITE HOUSE Colleague Jim McTague, Former Washington Editor of Barron's. Jim McTague observes unusually light traffic and retail activity in Washington, D.C. and Lancaster, signaling a potential economic slowdown. He notes blocked views of White House construction and predicts a recession driven by rising state taxes and the depletion of pandemic-era stimulus funds for local governments. NUMBER 16

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Perched against the rugged cliffs of California's coastline, the Big Sur Lighthouse has watched over countless ships since its commissioning in 1889. Built as a beacon of safety, it became just as well known for the tragedies it witnessed—storms that swallowed ships whole, sailors lost to the waves, and families who arrived full of hope only to leave long before their first year was done. Isolation, danger, and restless emotion shaped life inside those walls. But what becomes of that energy when the keepers are gone? In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the history and hauntings of the Big Sur Lighthouse with Julie Nunes, whose research and experiences shed light on a place where the past refuses to stay quiet. Are the spirits of former lighthouse keepers still tending their post? Do echoes of fear, duty, and heartbreak linger in the structure itself? Or is something else—something older—still keeping watch over the sea? This is Part Two of our conversation. #TheGraveTalks #BigSurLighthouse #HauntedLighthouse #GhostStories #CaliforniaHauntings #HauntedHistory #Paranormal #HistoricHauntings #GhostlyEchoes #CoastalSpirits #ParanormalPodcast #UnexplainedEncounters  Love real ghost stories?
