Text us here! Hershall, it is sure a good thing you showed up today because we have a prayer request and it is not unspoken... We think Brooks may have went to jail for a horrible offense against the law. You will have to listen to find out. What we know for sure is that he DID have his day in court. Since he wasn't here, we had a great replacement for the show, his younger brother, Bryce J . Birdsong. He did a great job being interrogated (big word for questioned) about anything and everything. We asked about his fishing skills and his job grievances. We included our favorite quotes and in the end Deacon Dustin went on a rant about the dangers of data. He had Bro. Brad so convicted that he knew not what to do. We squeezed in a few minutes talking about finances and even lifted the 4est Frank ban for Bryce... Enjoy!

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Sterling Birdsong, owner of Lendstra, a nationwide SBA loan placement platform helping small business owners secure $500,000 or more in funding. Sterling shares his journey from spending 13 years in banking and SBA lending to launching his own company and helping entrepreneurs navigate the often-complex funding process. He explains how working independently allows his team to connect business owners with a network of lenders and stay involved from the initial application through closing.Sterling also opens up about his entrepreneurial journey outside of lending, including how he went from opening his first tanning salon in 2024 to owning five GLO Tanning locations in less than two years. He shares the difference between starting a business from scratch and acquiring an established one, how he evaluates opportunities, and why having the right operating partner has been essential to scaling. Throughout the conversation, Sterling talks about patience, persistence, taking action, learning from mistakes, and knowing when to admit you don't have all the answers. He and C-Roc also discuss the idea of “patient urgency”—being patient with the process and outcome while staying urgent about the actions needed to move forward.Website- lendstra.com https://www.instagram.com/sterling.sba/
Sebastian Faulks is one of the country's best loved novelists, known for books such as Birdsong, Human Traces, Engleby and Charlotte Gray. His writing is renowned for its masterful storytelling and bringing historical periods to life through the inner lives of his characters. In September 2026 Faulks joined us live on stage to discuss his new novel, Farewell to Eden. In a blazing return to Faulks' heartland themes of faith, war, and love in conflict, Farewell to Eden is a sweeping portrait of an embattled post-war Britain. It follows Philip Deval, a soldier recently returned from the beaches of Normandy, who arrives in Palestine on a peace-keeping mission in the final days of the British Mandate. Faulks shed light on the real soldiers' testimonies he drew on from the Imperial War Museum archives, his own father's experiences as a soldier posted in British Mandate Palestine, and the legacy of the British Empire in the Middle East.

Ike Eastman sits down with Randy Birdsong of Headhunters TV for a genuine conversation on the long game of Midwest whitetail hunting, land management, and predator trapping. A southeast Missouri kid who followed the best whitetail hunting to Southern Illinois University (on what he calls his "Van Wilder program"), Randy got his first break filming for Whitetail Freaks with Don & Kandi Kisky and Lee & Tiffany Lakosky before Jeff Wayne handed him his shot at his own show on Outdoor Channel. The heart of the conversation is the Raven Project — his 1,000-acre Missouri property that six years ago held maybe 15 deer, and today holds over 100 mature deer, along with the story of the 8-year-old buck he took there last fall. Ike and Randy get into food plots, water, cover, doe reduction, being "only as good as your neighbors," and Randy's real passion: trapping. From running a 20-mile trap line before school at age 10 (with grandma tailing on a four-wheeler) to 113 coons in three weeks on his Oklahoma property, he breaks down when to hit coyotes, coons, and possums to protect fawns and turkey nests — and why you can't just trap a property out, because knock a coyote population down and they'll simply throw bigger litters.
In this episode Brian Barney sits down with Randy Birdsong. Randy hosts Headhunters TV and The Raven Project. He hunts big game nearly every year, but a lot of his experience is built around whitetail hunting. The guys have a fascinating conversation relating the two, talking over how they problem solve to find success. A great episode this week on Eastmans Elevated.

On Episode 121 of the Eastmans Predator Pros Podcast, I sat down with Randy Birdsong of Head Hunters TV for a great conversation about predator management and the role hunters and trappers can play in helping manage wildlife. Randy and I dive into trapping coyotes and raccoons, why predator control matters, and how you can get started on a trap line. Randy shares some great information on putting together a game plan, learning the basics, and becoming more effective on the trapline. We also get into some of Randy's experiences over the years, with plenty of good stories and laughs mixed in along the way. Whether you're already trapping and managing predators, or you've been thinking about getting started, there's a lot of good information in this episode.

Many people would tell you that hearing birdsong puts them in a good mood. Recently, scientists have tried to put numbers to this effect that many of us have noticed. One study found that people who spent a few minutes immersed in the sounds of birds had lower levels of paranoia and anxiety than those who only listened to traffic noise. This episode is brought to you by Teton Science Schools, specializing in outdoor learning experiences and education in Grand Teton National Park. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

More than 100 community-based fair housing organizations facing potential funding cuts received a reprieve after a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked HUD's FY2025 funding overhaul and ordered the agency to distribute funds under the prior year's framework, averting the risk of closures or sharply reduced services nationwide. Robbie interviews Two Dots' Henson Orser on the wave of innovative tech products and vendors flooding the mortgage market. And while Warsh's hawkish rhetoric has pushed September hike odds above 50 percent, the Fed's likely hold amid disinflation contrasts with a Treasury market increasingly pricing a structurally higher-rate regime, as weakening consumer fundamentals, elevated long-term yields, and a prolonged 30-year yield above 5 percent create a bearish backdrop for long-duration bonds.Thanks to Zillow Home Loans, Zillow's in-house mortgage lender, for sponsoring this week's podcasts.

Author Sebastian Faulks talks to John Wilson about his influences and formative cultural experiences. Faulks won huge acclaim for his First World War novel Birdsong, which – along with The Girl At the Lion D'or and Charlotte Gray – forms part of a trilogy of historical novels set in France. Since it was first published in 1993 Birdsong has gone on to sell more than three million copies worldwide and is taught in schools and universities on both English and History syllabuses. His other novels include Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Engleby and, most recently, Farewell To Eden. A team captain on the Radio 4 literary quiz show The Write Stuff for over a decade, Sebastian Faulks was made a CBE for services to literature in 2002. Producer: Edwina Pitman
This week on the Deadpod we have one of the fine shows the band played in late August 1972 at the Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley, CA. In this small, hometown venue, the band plays together and listens to each other at a high level — something that would bloom beautifully a few days later at the Old Renaissance Fairgrounds in Veneta, Oregon. They're relaxed and loose here. In this first set especially, they take their time between numbers, and I've taken the liberty of editing some of that dead air out of this presentation. I hope it makes for a more enjoyable listen. There are a couple of small cuts, but I don't think they'll affect your enjoyment. There are some notable excursions here — a first-set "Playin' in the Band" and "He's Gone," as well as a beautiful "Bird Song." I trust you'll find the entire set worth your time.

We know that many of you lovely RNZ listeners love a bird call. But being able to identify them is a real skill .. and one that takes a lot of time to learn. Fortunately a Taranaki organisation has come up with a new device that could help .. it's called HARK and here to explain what it does is 800 Trust project lead Miranda Wells.

There's a particular sound birds make right before they go quiet for the night... not their normal song, but something softer, almost private, like they know it's the last one before dark. I don't know if birds actually think that way, but it always sounds like it. This one's built around that exact moment: a bed set out in an open meadow, one tree nearby with its branches full of birds finishing their evening chorus, the sky doing that slow fade from gold to purple to almost nothing. I wanted to capture what it feels like to be the last thing awake to hear it.The script settles into that quiet gradually, following the birdsong as it thins out note by note until there's nothing left but the hush that comes after. It's less about falling asleep on command and more about being present for something that happens every single evening whether anyone notices or not. If you've ever caught that last bit of birdsong before dusk turned fully to night, this one's for you... and if you have a sound like that of your own, one that always means the day's really over, I'd genuinely like to hear about it.—

On August 12th, 2026, the Moon’s shadow will sweep across Iceland, Greenland, and Spain, bringing the first total solar eclipse visible from Europe since 1999. And because this eclipse happens near sunset, it promises to be one of the most visually stunning in living memory. Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy, founder of Cosmic Background Photography, joins the show to talk about his extraordinary 2024 eclipse image, his collaboration with the Artemis II crew to capture the Moon in unprecedented detail, and what he's planning for this unique low-horizon eclipse. Then, bioacoustics researcher David Mann, founder of Haikubox and Loggerhead Instruments, shares the results of the Eclipse Echoes study, which used a network of hundreds of AI-powered bird monitors to reveal how birds across North America responded to the 2024 eclipse. The answer is far more complicated than simply going quiet. Discover more at: https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2026-total-solar-eclipseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, as we approach the end of the "Days Between," I thought this recording—emblematic of what I think of as the Dead's 'third' period—would be a fitting choice as we remember Jerry. This one comes to us from St. Paul, MN, on August 6, 1982. It's an energetic show with a tight ensemble throughout. Jerry is playing at a high level, and Brent, along with the rest of the band, is right there with him. There's a lot to like here, but one of the highlights for me is the 10+ minute "Bird Song," which flows nicely into "El Paso." I'm also partial to the "Lazy Lightnin' > Supplication," where Garcia adds some particularly nice color in his solos. It's a solid first set, and I think you'll enjoy it. There are a few audience patches, but they don't detract much from the overall experience.

Can a crime novel help us understand the long shadow cast by the First World War? In this episode of Oh! What a Lovely Podcast, we explore Christina Koning's acclaimed Blind Detective series. The novels follow Frederick Rowlands, a veteran who lost his sight at Ypres and must navigate the challenges of postwar Britain using his memory, hearing, and sharp intuition. Set against the backdrop of the 1920s and 1930s, the series combines engaging mystery stories with a rich portrayal of a nation living with the social, cultural, and personal consequences of the Great War. Jessica, Chris, and Angus are joined by Christina Koning to discuss the inspiration behind Frederick Rowlands, the realities of blindness in the interwar years, and perhaps how crime fiction can illuminate the lasting legacy of the First World War.

Send us Fan MailSome records don't just tell stories—they open old rooms and invite you inside. In the latest edition of IUF, Lynsey Ward and Jonny Knight of Exploring Birdsong discuss "Every House We Built," the band's debut album out now via Long Branch Records. The conversation explores the years-long journey behind the record, using houses as a metaphor for relationships, and why this became their most personal and vulnerable collection of songs to date.What makes Exploring Birdsong so compelling is their refusal to fit neatly into one category. Progressive rock, cinematic arrangements, alternative textures, and pop sensibilities all coexist while never losing sight of the emotion at the center of the music. This episode dives into heartbreak, grief, resilience, and the beauty of embracing what makes a band truly unique. If you've been searching for a band that feels both ambitious and deeply human, Exploring Birdsong might just be your next obsession. One of the most unique pieces of work you will hear in 2026.

That little white folded box Chinese takeout comes in may be one of the cleverest pieces of food packaging ever invented. What's funny is—it isn't Chinese at all. It was never originally designed to hold noodles or fried rice, and its origin story is far stranger and more American than most people realize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_pail People are constantly communicating—even when they never say a word. A glance, a shift in posture, crossed arms, the position of the feet, how long someone holds eye contact… body language can reveal confidence, discomfort, attraction, deception, status, and emotion in ways most people completely miss. But many popular beliefs about body language are also wrong or overly simplistic. Joe Navarro, former FBI counterintelligence and counterterrorism agent and one of the world's leading experts on nonverbal communication, explains how body language really works, how to better read the people around you, and how understanding nonverbal behavior can dramatically improve your relationships and communication. He is author of Mastering Connections: Build Stronger Relationships with the Science of Body Language (https://amzn.to/4uB0PBo). Some people always seem rushed, overwhelmed, and behind—while others somehow manage to get an incredible amount done without appearing frantic. The difference may have less to do with time itself and more to do with how people think about time. Laura Vanderkam has spent years studying highly productive people and says many of us approach time completely backward. In our conversation, she explains why feeling “time poor” has become so common, how small changes in priorities can radically change your sense of control, and why having more time may actually begin with changing the story you tell yourself about it. Laura is author of Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance (https://amzn.to/4x0cawK). Birdsong does more than create a pleasant soundtrack outdoors. Researchers have discovered that simply listening to birds sing can measurably reduce stress, anxiety, and even feelings associated with paranoia.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the podcast Gerald Everette Jones stops by the show again to discuss his latest release Jonathan's Journal. We talk about how some choices made in WW1 still affect us today and more. *****Gerald Everett Jones lives in Santa Monica. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild and Women's National Book Association, as well as a board member of the Independent Writers of Southern California (IWOSC). He is a Film Independent (FILM) Fellow. He holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors from the College of Letters, Wesleyan University, where he studied under novelists Peter Boynton (Stone Island), F.D. Reeve (The Red Machines), and Jerzy Kosinski (The Painted Bird, Being There).”More about Jonathan's Journal: When a solitary art historian stumbles across a cryptic World War I diary among his mother's antiques, his life quietly implodes. In Jonathan's Journal, award-winning author Gerald Everett Jones invites readers on a richly emotional and historical journey that spans continents and generations. Through dual narratives—one modern, one set during the forgotten campaigns of the Great War in the Near East and India—Jones offers a haunting meditation on identity, duty, and the echoes of conflict that shape who we become.At the center of this literary novel is Jonathan Worthington, a middle-aged professor on sabbatical, whose discovery of an anonymous soldier's meticulously written journal ignites a quest for truth that blurs the line between past and present. The soldier, initially known only by the initials J.F.W., recounts experiences from the trenches of France to the deserts of Mesopotamia and India. As Jonathan deciphers the diary—with help from Elena, a mysterious librarian who abruptly left a position in the diplomatic corps—he suspects more than a historical connection; family secrets may lie hidden in Fred's sparse but emotionally loaded prose.Jones's fifteenth novel is both contemplative and adventurous, seamlessly blending historical research, literary fiction, and intimate personal reflection. Fans of Birdsong, The English Patient, and Possession will find themselves drawn into a world where archival mysteries illuminate inner truths.*****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

Step back from the battlefield and into the questions that bring the Great War to life in this special Q&A episode. Drawing on years of battlefield exploration and historical research, we tackle four fascinating listener questions centred on the Battle of the Somme and beyond.We begin on the heights above the battlefield, exploring the idea of Bouzincourt Ridge as a “grandstand view” on 1 July 1916. What could be seen at 7:30am as the attack began? While no direct veteran testimony from that exact vantage point survives, we examine contemporary accounts, artillery observation points, and how the opening moments of the Somme were witnessed from the rear areas.From there, we address a powerful and sobering question about the dead of the Somme. With so many soldiers listed as unidentifiied, how were remains recovered, identified, and buried? Could parts of the same individual have ended up in different graves, and how did organisations like the Imperial War Graves Commission ensure accuracy and dignity in commemoration?Next, we break down the sheer scale of the Somme fighting. Was it a continuous daily offensive, or a series of smaller battles? We explain how the campaign unfolded between July and November 1916, highlighting key phases such as the Battle of Bazentin Ridge and the Battle of Flers-Courcelette to give clarity to one of history's most complex battles.Finally, we turn to literature, examining Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. How accurate is its depiction of trench life and tunnelling warfare? We compare fiction with historical reality, exploring where the novel captures the truth, and where it takes creative licence.Main Image: Bouzincourt Ridge Cemetery during the Centenary in 2018 (Old Front Line Archives)Sign up for the free podcast newsletter here: Old Front Line Bulletin.You can order Old Front Line Merch via The Old Front Line Shop.Got a question about this episode or any others?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Erich Jarvis, PhD, a professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of Language at Rockefeller University and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). We discuss the brain circuits and genes underlying spoken language and why the ability to learn and produce vocalizations is extraordinarily rare in the animal kingdom. We also explore why song likely evolved before language, how gesture and movement share deep neural roots with speech, the neurobiology of stuttering, why childhood is the optimal window for language acquisition, and how physical movement — including dance — may help preserve speech and cognitive function across a lifetime.
