Connor Brockhouse is one of the familiar faces at all TAC events. He is a full-time employee and one of the team members building ranges and bettering our experiences at TAC. He is a young archer who is super successful on DIY hunts. I have really liked his personality and mindset for archery and bowhunting, so I wanted to sit down and learn more about his background. This podcast is filled with lots of old stories and shenanigans that relate to how archery and hunting have got us on a better path in life. I discuss my disappointments in childhood decisions and how archery got me going in the right direction. He gives stories on where hunting started for him and his brother and how it led him to getting a red staff shirt working for Total Archery Challenge.

Today's guest is Dimitris Eleas, a political scientist, writer, and independent researcher. His work explores the role of personality in the social-historical, philosophy, global politics, antisemitism, and modern history, with a particular focus on the Holocaust.

4. Dallas and the CurrawongDallas, an 11.5-year-old "spood" (dog) in Sydney, has a new addition to his local "fan club": the Currawong (referred to as a "carajong"). These black birds with white-tipped wings are larger than magpies and are described as docile but very smart "spies". Recently, a Currawong was caught on camera attempting to steal Dallas's favorite tennis ball from the back porch. The ball, which had lost its felt skin from years of use, was grabbed by the bird's beak. The Currawongmanaged to fly about three feet into the air before realizing the ball was too heavy, forcing it to drop the toy and flee.Dallas appears to be friendly toward these birds, as they have been seen in the backyard together. Unlike the Magpies, who enjoy ham and cheese, the Currawongs seem to prefer Dallas's biscuits. Because of the attempted theft, the family now keeps Dallas's tennis ball under "lock and key" indoors when the birds are circling. Jeremy observes that the local bird population seems fascinated by Dallas, often watching him play and attempting to take his toys home. 41877

We are moving through a profound threshold.With Saturn and Neptune newly joined at 0° Aries, we are living inside the early emergence of a new era. This is not something to figure out quickly. It is something we feel our way into.If things feel uncertain or stretched, there is nothing wrong with you. This is the nature of deep change.And at times, this includes witnessing collective events—conflict, misuse of power, and leadership that can feel out of alignment with truth. Staying present without collapsing or turning away is part of the work of this moment.This week brings a mix of grounding, relational awareness, and intensity.Monday, March 30 – Venus enters Taurus Venus returns to her home sign, inviting a shift into Earth wisdom. After the heat of Aries, this is a call to slow down, root, and reconnect with what is steady and nourishing. In times of disruption, tending to what is real and tangible becomes essential.Wednesday, April 1 – Full Moon in Libra (12°) This Full Moon illuminates the relational field. Libra highlights balance, reciprocity, and fairness. You may see clearly where there has been imbalance—personally or collectively. This is a moment of awareness, not perfection.Friday, April 3 – Mercury in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer Water supports water. This aspect opens intuitive understanding and deeper listening. When external narratives feel confusing, this is an invitation to trust a quieter inner knowing.Friday, April 3 – Venus in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius This brings intensity to values and relationships. What feels non-negotiable may surface. Pluto asks for truth at depth, even when it disrupts comfort.Sunday, April 5 – Sun in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer This is an amplifying aspect. The zodiac sign Aries pushes forward; Jupiter expands. The zodiac sign Cancer reminds us to stay connected to emotional truth and care. Discernment is key—expansion without overreach.Reflection Questions: • Where am I being asked to root more deeply into what sustains me? • What am I seeing more clearly in my relationships or in the world around me? • Where is something deeper asking for my honesty, even if it creates tension?Podcast poem: Blackbirds by Julie Cadwallader StaubSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-pageThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Can former Mayor Mike Bloomberg's fortune help his former staffer, Micah Lasher, prevail in the wide open race for a rare open NYC Congressional seat, and mark an inglorious end to the Kennedy dynasty in the process? Does America's attack on Iran make a Mayor Mamdani ally the favorite in his primary challenge to a Congressional incumbent? And how far into March Madness can the Blackbirds and the Johnnies take New York basketball? All that and much more gets mulled in Episode 486.

On a very cold day in February, while trailing a Algonquin Wolves (Canis lycaon) across the frozen Lake of Two Rivers, South of highway 60 running through Algonquin Provincial Park, a fellow tracker and I came across a nest. I took out my phone and quickly took some measurements and moved on. It wasn't too long, as it was -30°C (-22°F/243K) and my hands we're screaming at me, but this little discovery started itching my memory of the day and pestering me to figure out who it was. I did a little bit of research, through which I came to the conclusion that the nest may have been built by a Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). This is the story of that discovery and some of the readings which led me to a possible answer to an ageless question; whodunnit?To learn more : A Field Guide to the Nests, Eggs and Nestlings of North American Birds by Colin Harrison.

Adelaide Hall (1901 – 1993), entertainer extraordinaire, really had it all: voice, talent, beauty, dancing chops, charisma, joie de vivre and sophistication. She was the first Black performer to attain international stardom, even before Joséphine Baker, with whom she shared a number of similarities (though Hall probably had the superior voice). She was the first singer to scat on record; she helped popularize both the Charleston and the Black Bottom and was considered the epitome of the Flapper; she introduced the world to a number of now-standard songs from the Great American Songbook; she appeared on a rare 1935 Vitaphone short that featured all Black performers; she and her husband owned and ran various night clubs in three different countries, as well as headlining at the legendary Cotton Club; and she headlined the sensational revue Blackbirds of 1928 and several other ground-breaking shows in the 1920s and 1930s. I got to know her work many years back when I happened to find a late-career LP of hers in the basement of an apartment building I was living in. I have been a fan ever since. The number of great musicians with whom she rubbed shoulders is almost mind-boggling (Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Fela Sowande, Joe Turner, and Art Tatum, for starters), and she continued to perform with gusto and sophistication into her late eighties, occasionally returning to her native US from London, where she settled in 1938 and lived until her death. Her range of influence is truly far-flung and her many recordings, made between 1927 and 1989, a generous sampling of which are offered on this episode, continue to bring consistent delight and surprise. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Most gardeners are aware that certain plants appear to be great for pollinators. Pollination is important for the reproduction of plants, and it comes in many different ways. We often just sit and watch the spectacle unfold as we have a cup of tea in front of our shed. Pollination is done through ABIOTIC ways: (wind movements) or through BIOTIC techniques (Mostly insects: bees, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles and birds). It makes sense that early flowering plants rely on early pollinating insects. Dandelions are a good example; they often use small native bees to do the job. By the way, about one-third of New Zealand's plants are wind-pollinated (think grasses and the various plants that cause hayfever). Here's a line-up of all sorts of pollinators in the group of insects. For the flowers pollinated by insects, especially bees, it's interesting to note that they have different colour vision to humans. Blue, green, violet and ultra-violet are the key colours. The blue flowers that will certainly bring in the pollinators are Ageratum, Chatham Island Forget-Me-Not, Cornflower, Delphinium, Echinops, and Eryngium, with standards such as Salvia, Phacelia, Campanula and Tweedia. When birds are getting involved in pollination (just under 10%), you'll find that Tui and Bellbirds are often at the front of the line, with silvereyes waiting for their turn. Kowhai, Flax, Rata species, and special recipients of bird beaks, such as Kaka Beak and Mistletoe are the lure for birds. Bellbird and tui with orange pollen and red flowers While most insects see things in blue, violet, and ultra-violet spectrum, birds see red and yellow. Blackbirds also see red flowers: They love to “cause trouble” in the Feijoa trees with heaps of red flowers by violently ripping the flowers to pieces… The most efficient way to pollinate the crop of feijoas!!!

Mary Stone shares a breathtaking encounter with a flock of grackles while visiting the Karen Ann Quinlan Home for Hospice in Fredon, NJ. Their synchronized flight inspires a reflection on the quiet wisdom of nature and the beauty of unity in motion.How the birds never collide opens a deeper exploration of how grackles — and all flocking birds — navigate together through separation, alignment, and cohesion. Their graceful movement offers a powerful metaphor for how we might live.Thanks for Tuning In!Related Podcasts and Posts:

One of the more conspicuous signs of late summer into fall are the large flocks of red-winged blackbirds wheeling around area marshes and croplands. If you haven't noticed them yet, you should soon.

In the rural Southeast, roadside ditches – known as “bar ditches” – carry on for miles. The term bar ditch probably comes from their construction, when dirt was "borrowed" to build up the road. The ditches are full of water and full of life, these narrow wetlands. Herons stalk the shallow water, stabbing at minnows. Common Gallinules, like this one, swim on the surface. Reeds and bulrushes provide cover for secretive marsh birds like King Rails. Red-winged Blackbirds flash crimson epaulets as they sing, and Boat-tailed Grackles offer their own rough music.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Why are blackbirds black? One possible answer is that black is conspicuous against just about all of Nature's backgrounds. Blackbirds, like this flock of Red-winged Blackbirds and Yellow-headed Blackbirds, feed on the ground. Whenever a predator approaches, they take flight. Coming together quickly in a dense mass may confuse the predator and thwart its attempts to catch one of the birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Have you ever had a crisis of faith? I can point to several points in my life—my mid-teens, my early 20s, and my late 30s—when serious doubts crept in. It can be a fearful and unsettling time, and even more so if we feel alone.Authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague are no strangers to this type of crisis. Catherine faced her first at the tender age of twelve when the church her father pastored kicked her family to the curb. Jason's biggest came to him in mid-life when a beloved friend died unexpectedly. In both seasons, they found themselves reeling, aching, confused, and lost.But this isn't the whole story. Jason shares the journey of his oldest son's autism (where is God when our prayers seem to go unanswered?). And Catherine unpacks how a crisis of this kind can be incredibly painful, with no silver lining… and yet still create space for a deeper faith on the other side.Join us for a special episode about hope (and penguins, loons, and Red-winged Blackbirds!) as we dig into Mid-Faith Crisis: Finding a Path Through Doubt, Disillusionment, and Dead Ends. It's a gentle, truthful book that takes an unflinching look at crisis, pain, and the presence of God. Get full access to Keep Looking Up at courtneyellis.substack.com/subscribe

This week, three planets move through the 29th degree of a zodiac sign, marking a sense of "now or never" time to wrap things up with regard to recent lessons and insights with their journey through the zodiac sign.Venus (Relational One) in Aries sextiles Jupiter (Guide -Wise One) in Gemini, both at 29 ° of these signs. Since early March when Venus turned retrograde and was also in sextile to Jupiter, what old paradigms with relationships and values are you releasing? What old beliefs of the need to be too frenetic and overwhelmed with information and data are done?Mercury (Storytelller) in Gemini squares the Nodes (Evolutionary One) in Pisces and Virgo challenging you to shift old narratives of the impulse to do rescue moves and sacrificial service. Instead, cultivate narratives of greater inner peace, trust of your spiritual side and compassion.Mercury conjoins Jupiter at 29° Gemini supporting you to harvest the new expanded ideas and options you've explored in the last year. Also, release old patterns of excessive information gathering and processing that have caused disassociation and overwhelm.Podcast poem: Blackbirds by Julie Cadwallader StaubSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comFollow Sheila: https://www.instagram.com/ontheedgesofchange https://www.pinterest.com/ontheedgesofchange

Grackles, vultures, and other big black birds are often disparaged by people who'd rather they stay out of sight. But Marcus Rosten, an environmental educator and co-organizer of Black Birders Week, appreciates these birds for the important roles they play in nature and the ways their stories reflect his own experience as a Black birder.This year, Black Birders Week is celebrating miraculous shades of brown by highlighting the beauty and importance of sparrows while also drawing parallels with the struggles and triumphs of Black birders.

Preorder THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODSFive friends go into the woods, four come out.I've been reading Chuck Wendig books since the early 2010s, when he had back to back releases of BLACKBIRDS and MOCKINGBIRD, the first two books in the Miriam Black series of (six) books. Since then, I've read piles of his stories adding up to thousands of pages. Psychics, AI, Jedis, Pandemics, Serial Killers… he's covered a lot of ground. But there's something about this story. Something more than it appears. Something beneath the surface.This is a story that is best read unspoiled, so our main conversation avoids anything that would taint the read. Even so, we talk about friendship, parenting, trauma, and of all things Homestar Runner. It is a captivating talk! But that's not all!Let's Get SpoiledIt's not even hard for me to say that this is my favorite book of Chuck's. THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is an impressive achievement. So much so that I felt compelled to get Chuck to do an episode of The After Party, the spoiler-rich series that is available exclusively on this site. So once you've read the book, be sure to check out the Chuck Wendig episode of The After Party!Buy lots of Chuck Wendig booksFor the YouTube folks out there: This is a public episode.

It's often easy to overlook what we see every day, or at least regularly. Perhaps that's why we overlook our humble garden birds in favour of majestic eagles or mischievous ravens as our favourite birds. Yet the commonality of these small, yet often noisy, birds explains why there is a comparative dearth of folklore about them. Compared to other birds, there's a plethora to choose from. Death omens, cheeky tricksters in myth, and stars of nursery rhymes - these birds do it all! Let's find out more about the folklore of blackbirds, sparrows, wrens, and robins in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Blackbird songs have a strange music. The Red-winged Blackbird can be heard in nearly every marsh on the continent — bold, brassy, and piercing. The songs may not seem musical, but they definitely get your attention. Brewer's Blackbirds, which live in open habitats like farms and grasslands, make a wet, slap-in-the-face sound. The combined voices of Tricolored Blackbirds — like this one in a California marsh — sound like a snarling catfight. Another Western bird, the Yellow-headed Blackbird, makes raucous growls, wails, and whistles.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Paul Walter Hauser won the Golden Globe for his portrayal of alleged serial killer Larry Hall in the AppleTV series, “Black Bird.” Larry is suspected of killing 50 girls in the Mid-West between 1981-1994, yet was never convicted of murder! John and Jamie from True Crimecast return to break down the real-life case of Larry Hall, and offer more details about how Jimmy Keene was recruited by the FBI to help keep the alleged serial killer behind bars. They also discuss the numerous victims, explain why Larry's confessions never amounted to a murder conviction, and what specifics Larry shared with Jimmy about Jessica Roach and Tricia Reitler's murders that resulted in Larry's continued imprisonment and Jimmy's freedom. They also compare the TV series and characters to the real-life case and people, explain what was spot-on, and what was added for dramatic effect, and how the project's long development ultimately changed the casting for the better. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!Gametime – Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use the promo code JERICHO to get $20 off.Factor – visit https://factormeals.com/TIJ50 and use code TIJ50 to get 50% off your first boxeBay Motors: get the right parts, the right fit, and the right prices. https://ebaymotors.comMetro By T-Mobile: Switch and get unlimited 5G starting at $25 a month per line for 4 lines, and a FREE 5G phone.Toyota: Visit https://toyota.com/GRFamily to find your perfect Toyota!Bosch Tools: learn more at https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/SlingTV: check out https://www.sling.com/ for special offers  STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @TalkIsJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/
