A Homecoming Story Suzanne Soliday has come full circle. After opening Suzanne's Studio in Woodstock back in 2018, relocating to Florida in 2021, and continuing her artistic passion in Titusville, she's now back where it all began. In this Tourism Tuesday episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and cohost from Shenandoah County Tourism, Kary Haun sit down with Suzanne at her freshly reopened studio on West Court Street to explore what makes this creative space so special. Recording on a Friday afternoon with no snow on the ground—yet bracing for a major winter storm by Tuesday—the trio dives into Woodstock's thriving arts scene and the unique experiences awaiting both locals and visitors. More Than Just a Studio Suzanne's Studio isn't your typical paint-and-go craft shop. Instead, it's a community hub where creativity meets connection. "It's not just where you grab a trinket, and you sit and paint, and you leave," Suzanne explains. "We really want them to have an experience." That philosophy permeates everything the studio offers. From the moment guests walk through the door, Suzanne focuses on creating memories, teaching techniques, and helping people discover abilities they didn't know they had. In fact, she admits that her favorite customers are those who claim they're "not artists"—because watching them surprise themselves brings her the greatest joy. A Creative Menu The studio offers an impressive array of artistic mediums. First and foremost, pottery painting remains the foundational offering, allowing children and adults alike to paint on bisque that's then fired into ceramic keepsakes. However, Suzanne has expanded the menu considerably since her Florida days. Glass fusion has emerged as a standout addition. Positioned somewhere between mosaics and stained glass, this technique allows participants to score and cut glass, create designs, and watch as everything fuses together in the kiln to create three-dimensional pieces. Moreover, Suzanne is pushing the boundaries by incorporating ceramic paints with glass, opening up entirely new creative possibilities. Beyond these core offerings, the studio also features fiber arts, where colorful wool gets poked into fabric using simple needles to create soothing, therapeutic art pieces. Additionally, canvas painting remains a favorite, complete with 70 easels available for mobile events at vineyards and other venues. Furthermore, screen art offers a hybrid experience between clay and canvas, using heavy-body texture medium and templates to create surprisingly easy yet impressive results. Classes, Camps, and Community Events Despite being back in Woodstock for less than 30 days at the time of recording, Suzanne has already hit the ground running with a robust schedule. The upcoming Cozy Mug workshop promises to teach four different techniques for creating personalized drinkware. Meanwhile, "Kids Create Like the Great Artists" invites young creators to make their own paint from eggs and chalk, then paint in the style of masters like Gauguin. Looking ahead, spring break camp runs every morning from 9:00 to 11:30 during public school break. Unlike typical craft projects with popsicle sticks and googly eyes, these camps focus on "high-end art" that kids can proudly take home in hand-painted canvas bags. Similarly, summer brings themed camps including Madagascar Camp in June, Campfire Fun in July, and Glam Ranch in August specifically designed for girls ages 12-15. Throughout the year, workshops range from creating nightlights and framed cardinal mosaics to bookshelf sun-catchers and candle screens. Notably, some events—like the bookshelf sun-catcher workshop—have already sold out, demonstrating the community's enthusiasm for these creative opportunities. Perfect Partnerships Suzanne enthusiastically credits Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation, particularly Teresa Funkhouser, for helping launch the business. "Without them, I probably wouldn't have been able to launch this business because they really sold my classes for me," she acknowledges. This partnership continues, with the studio now hosting classes previously offered through Parks and Rec. Additionally, the studio's location just off Court Square positions it perfectly within Woodstock's vibrant downtown ecosystem. Guests can easily grab coffee at Flour to Fork, pick up cupcakes from local bakeries, or browse books at Bonfire Bookstore before or after their creative sessions. In fact, Suzanne actively encourages cross-promotion, suggesting customers buy books at Bonfire then create matching bookshelf sun-catchers at the studio. The studio accommodates up to 50 people in the main space or 20 in the private back room, making it ideal for birthday parties, team-building events, date nights, or girls' weekends. Furthermore, while the studio is working on obtaining an ABC license, private events can currently bring their own wine and beer, creating the perfect atmosphere for adult creativity. Woodstock's Artistic Renaissance Kary paints a picture of Woodstock's flourishing arts community that extends well beyond Suzanne's Studio. Colloquia Arts, a brand new gallery just north of Court Street, hosts monthly shows with receptions. Meanwhile, VECCA features an artist-in-residence working in the window and monthly art shows, typically with receptions on the first Saturday. Additionally, Bonfire Bookstore has launched the Fire Starter Review, an elevated talent show and performance series that Kary describes as "pretty amazing." This concentration of creative energy makes Woodstock a genuine destination for art lovers. As Kary notes, "It's a beautiful place to be and an inspiring place to make art." Winter Wonderland Activities While the podcast focuses heavily on arts and culture, Kary ensures listeners know about Shenandoah County's winter recreation opportunities. With eight wineries scattered throughout the county—the highest concentration in this region of Virginia—visitors can enjoy cozy fireplaces, live music, and special weekend events while gazing out at snow-covered vineyards. Cave Ridge Vineyard's heated igloos offer a particularly magical experience, providing warmth and comfort while creating the feeling of sitting in a winter wonderland. Similarly, Bryce Resort delivers skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snow tubing, and snowshoeing opportunities, with equipment rentals and ski school available for beginners. For those who prefer to stay warm, the Copper Kettle provides food, drinks, and a cozy atmosphere. Celebrating Small Business Success The conversation concludes with well-deserved recognition for The Buttercup, recently named Small Business of the Year by the local chamber. This award highlights the strength of Shenandoah County's small business community and the dedication of entrepreneurs who make the region special. Planning Your Visit Suzanne's Studio welcomes walk-ins Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM during winter months, with expanded hours coming in summer. The studio also opens whenever school is out, recognizing that families seek creative activities during breaks. Interested visitors can explore the full calendar of workshops and classes at suzannes-studio.net, follow along on Facebook at Suzanne's Studio LLC, or check Instagram @suzannestudiollc. For broader Shenandoah County tourism information, including winery events, live music schedules, and seasonal activities, Kary directs everyone to visitshenandoahcounty.com. The Bigger Picture Ultimately, this Tourism Tuesday episode reveals something deeper than just promotional content. It showcases how small businesses like Suzanne's Studio create ripple effects throughout their communities—fostering creativity, building connections, supporting other local businesses, and giving both residents and visitors meaningful experiences that transcend simple transactions. As Suzanne eloquently puts it, when people leave her studio feeling accomplished and encouraged, "it makes them better people when they go out into the world." That philosophy of pouring kindness and encouragement into others creates a better community for everyone—one handmade mug, fused glass piece, and painted canvas at a time.

Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Met weer een nieuwe Miracle Town Radio Show. Deze keer o.a. over de science achter de 5 mm Movement, het verschil tussen je Future Self en Identity en stap 3 van Identity Based Reality Creation. Maar ik begin deze uitzending met een mega OMG die ik gister had. Ongelooflijk hoe BLIND je kunt zijn, puur omdat je OVERTUIGD bent dat het er niet is. En dat was nog maar deel 1 van de OMG…!! Verder heeft de science achter de 5 mm movement en de ‘gravitational potential energy' van de dominostenen me enorm veel verder, hoger en dieper geholpen (het Nederlandse woord zwaarte-energie had me nooit bij het inzicht in deze radio show kunnen brengen..!) Plus: you can't start a fire without a spark, maar durf je tot een Bonfire uit te groeien en geen spark te blijven? Daarnaast dus nog het verschil tussen je Future Self en je Identify. Deze twee worden vaak door elkaar gehaald terwijl ze iets heel anders doen in je systeem. En tot slot stap 3 van Identity Based Reality Creation. Stap 1: Selecteer de tijdlijn van je gewenste Identity Stap 2: Stabiliseer je geselecteerde Identity Stap 3: hoor je in deze uitzending. Praat mee in the Miracle Town Cafe!

We start off by listening to Bill Burr tell us about a song he recently heard that reminded him of his relationship with his wife. He doesn't just tell us about it, he actually sings it to us. Then we get another glimpse in Bill and Nia's relationship from 2018. Tons of passive aggressive and outright aggressive behavior.  There are a number of candidates for cringe of the week including the Morning Mashup's Instagram post, a debate between Ana Kasparian and Pearl Davis, Brendan Schaub explaining he could have been a rocket scientist, and Rob Saul smashing his television to the floor during his big return to streaming. Opie bailed on Ron's standup show that he promised he'd go to and Ron lashes out because he's very hurt. Simon from the Worst Ever Podcast joins us to play Robert Kelly's retelling of his heroic rescue of a young girl who was drowning in the ocean and Big Jay Oakerson's attempts to make it entertaining. Stuttering John also saved a life and even though he doesn't remember doing it, he couldn't wait to brag about it. Megan and Annie join us for a round of “Is It Gay?” We finish up with a teaser, reviews, and voicemails.

Today, I'm talking about the element of fire. This is the third episode in my series on the elements. Last fall, I explored water and wind, what they represent and how to work with them in everyday life. The Element of Fire When I say fire, I mean the flames that warm you, cook your food, clear land, and forge metal. Fire is one of the few elements that feels instantly familiar and deeply mysterious at the same time. You've sat in front of a fire and felt its heat. You've probably stared into the flames and lost track of time, almost like a meditation. That alone tells you something important. For thousands of years, fire has been far more than a tool. It has been treated as a presence, revered as a teacher, and even honored as a deity. Across cultures, fire has been seen as a messenger between worlds, a force that connects the visible and invisible. In classical and esoteric traditions, fire is one of the four primary elements, alongside earth, water, and air. It's associated with energy, passion, illumination, will, creation, destruction, and transformation. More than anything, fire is the element that changes things. Everything that touches fire is altered, and there is no undo button when it comes to flames. That's exactly why mystics, shamans, and alchemists paid such close attention to it. When I talk about fire as a spiritual element, I'm talking about a force that burns away what no longer serves, illuminates what's been hidden, and initiates transformation at a deep level. Fire is never subtle. Fire Across Time and Tradition If you look back through history, fire appears everywhere people were trying to understand life, death, and the unseen world. In ancient Greece, fire was considered a divine substance, famously stolen from the gods by Prometheus and given to humanity. That myth alone tells you how powerful fire was perceived to be. Fire wasn't just heat, it was consciousness, creativity, and civilization itself. In Vedic and yogic traditions, the fire element is called tejas. Tejas represents inner radiance, metabolic energy, and illumination. It's linked not only to digestion of food, but to digestion of experience, what you can process, integrate, and turn into wisdom. In Chinese philosophy, fire is one of five elements and is associated with the heart, joy, vitality, and spirit. When fire is balanced, there's warmth and enthusiasm for life. When it's excessive or depleted, it shows up as burnout, agitation, or a coldness of spirit. Celtic traditions placed fire at the center of seasonal festivals like Beltane and Samhain. Bonfires marked thresholds between worlds, protected communities, and ushered in new cycles. Fire was symbolic and practical. And in homes across the world, the hearth fire was the literal and energetic center of life. It's where food was prepared, stories were told, and decisions were made. The hearth was both sacred and ordinary. When we work with fire today, we're stepping into one of the oldest relationships humans have ever had with an element that could both sustain and destroy them. Fire demands respect and doesn't negotiate. In return, it offers truth by stripping away illusion and getting to the core. Builder, Destroyer, and Catalyst for Change One of the most important things to understand about fire is its dual nature. Fire is both a builder and a destroyer. People usually think of fire's destructive qualities, but destruction is not inherently bad. Fire clears old growth in the forest, so new life can emerge. It purifies, resets, and creates space. In alchemy and mysticism, this dual role is essential. Fire breaks structures down to their core components. From that essential place, something new can be formed. This mirrors an inner process many people experience, especially in midlife and beyond. There's often a moment when what used to work no longer does. Old identities might feel restrictive and old patterns can feel exhausting. Maybe there's an inner fire saying, “This cannot continue.” That inner fire isn't trying to make you uncomfortable, but working to realign you. Fire doesn't consider your comfort zone as it eliminates illusion to reveal the truth. Fire and Spiritual Alchemy In spiritual alchemy, fire is the heat that refines raw material into something clearer and more potent. Alchemists weren't just trying to turn lead into gold. They were working to transform fear, emotion, and confusion into insight and clarity. That doesn't happen without heat. Fire has long been described as a bearer of information, a force that accelerates transformation and amplifies subtle energy. In yogic and Buddhist traditions, balanced inner fire is linked with clear perception and intuitive awareness. You see more clearly. You digest experience instead of storing it as emotional baggage. This is why working with fire can feel clarifying and, at times, uncomfortable. Fire asks simple but powerful questions such as: What's ready to be released? What truth is trying to surface? What no longer fits? If you've ever sat in front of a candle and had an unexpected realization, you already know how fire speaks. The Hearth and Everyday Alchemy For most of human history, the hearth fire represented safety, nourishment, and belonging. In Greek tradition, Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, embodying stillness and presence. In Irish tradition, Brigid carried the triple flame of hearth, forge, and inspiration, overseeing care, craft, and creativity. Cooking over fire is everyday alchemy. Raw ingredients are transformed into nourishment through heat, time, and attention. When you cook with awareness or light a candle with intention, you're already working with fire as an ally. Fire for Manifesting and Divining Fire has also long been used for manifestation and divination. It creates momentum – just think of how a fire spreads so rapidly. Fire also shifts things from one state to another, responding to clarity and sincerity, rather than force or desperation. Across traditions, people burned symbols of what they wanted to release or manifest. Watching something physically transform signals completion to your nervous system. The flames help the body and psyche understand that a shift has occurred. Fire has also been used for divination, especially using a candle. Observing how a flame moves, steadies, flares, or resists lighting has long been a way of engaging intuition. Fire helps you reflect on what's already present rathern than telling you what to do. One of the easiest ways to work with fire is by candle gazing, a practice found in yogic traditions called tratakah. Watching the flame steadies the mind, quiets mental chatter, and brings clarity. Listen to the podcast to discover several simple fire practices in the podcast. Message from the Element of Fire Intuitively. I've connected with the element of fire. A couple of years ago, my friend Krista and I sat in front of a fire. Suddenly she suggested we should “talk to the fire.” I was surprised, and honestly delighted, when I actually heard something. I had been told it takes years of training to speak with the elements. That's no longer true. The energy on earth moves faster now. The veil is thinner. Many people have a higher vibration today. What I heard from the fire was simple and unmistakable: “I am powerful. I am destructive. I am creative. I am transformative. I am beautiful. I am warmth. I am dancing. I am passion.” That sounds exactly like fire, doesn't it? Fire teaches through warmth and light, but also through endings and change. When you work with fire, you're can't control it. You're partnering with a force that knows how to transform everything it touches. You listen, respect, and collaborate. Sometimes, that's exactly the kind of magic you need.

We're looking forward to another year of sponsoring and promoting senior and harder-to-adopt dogs. Our goal is to continue to expand our reach and work with more shelters and rescue groups. Your support is what makes all this possible! To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we'll be kicking off a 10 for 10 fundraiser. You can donate through RosieFund.org, Venmo, Facebook and Instagram. Last year was our all-time high as we filmed, promoted, and sponsored 79 dogs at KC Pet Project, Always & Furever, Mid-America Bully Breed Rescue, PAWS KC, and Pawsitive TailsSince our founding in 2016, Rosie Fund has sponsored 355 dogs and filmed and promoted 599 dogs. Thanks to you and our volunteers, almost $32,000 of donations have provided Rosie Life Starter Kits, helped with adoption fees, and covered medical expenses for dogs that found their forever home.Music for this episode is provided by alternative string duo, The Wires.

Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It's Carnival… but it moves like a hunt.This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter's darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise.Inside this episode:The first warning: cowbells in a stone alley, laughter turning predatoryAncient roots: the pagan “entry” of Entrudo and the Celtic ties that won't dieThe disguise: fringed wool suits, horned masks, and the deafening bell harnessRitual permission: three days where chaos is allowed—then paid forFire and farewell: the burning of effigies, bonfires, and Carnival's final cleansingNear-extinction and comeback: depopulation, revival, facanitos, and a tradition rebornUNESCO recognition: how Podence's “carnival demons” became world-famous without going tameCousins of the Caretos: Peliqueiros, Joaldunak, and Iberia's other bell-bearing “devils”If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don't perform. They pounce.We're telling that story tonight.

John and Tim are joined by Drew Vanderploeg from the Home & Away pod to cover the upcoming (!!) preseason match against SKC. Kellyn Acosta moves to Europe after a lackluster stint in Chicago.

The NFL Divisional Round is here, and Ryan and Dustin are ready to break it all down! The guys open with the contract talks surrounding John Harbaugh and the New York Giants: does Harbaugh hold the keys to a Giants turnaround? Then, it's a jam-packed Divisional Weekend preview: from Buffalo's battered roster heading into Denver, to San Francisco versus Seattle, and why Chicago vs. LA Rams could be the shootout of the weekend. Plus, the duo debates coaching decisions, fourth-down gambles, and what each contender must do to punch their ticket to the next round.

Chalk this one up to making myself do something when I was not sure I had it in me. Have you accomplished something even though you were not feeling it that day? I bet you have. And I bet that you, too, benefited from having willed yourself into action. This episode is one of those examples for me. After a full day of interviewing artists and staff at the fall 2025 Albino Skunk Music Festival, I was ready for bed, but I gathered up just enough resolve to wait past midnight to interview The Ruen Brothers. It was the first interview I have conducted that late — the time stamp on the audio file of our conversation reads 1:37AM — but it was well worth it. I hope you agree upon hearing this episode. The Ruen Brothers perform at The Albino Skunk Music Festival 11/03/25Photo: Flash Thompson Songs heard in this episode:“Cabin on the Hill” by The Ruen Brothers, performed live at The Albino Skunk Music Festival 10/03/25“Desert Showers” by The Ruen Brothers, from Awooo, excerpt“Bonfire” by The Ruen Brothers, from Awooo, excerpt“Unknown” by The Ruen Brothers, performed live at The Albino Skunk Music Festival 10/03/25, excerpt“Secret Agent Man” by The Ruen Brothers, performed live at The Albino Skunk Music Festival 10/03/25Thank you for listening, and we hope you can spread awareness of this endeavor and help us grow.

It’s April 1956, and Darrel Parker is going to trial on first-degree murder charges in the murder of his wife, Nancy. The evidence? A confession wrung out of him by soon-to-be famous crimimologist John Reid, with the help of a lie detector and some very willing Lincoln, Nebraska, cops and county attorney Meanwhile, career criminal Wesley Peery continues to wreak havoc in Lincoln and the surrounding area. He can’t have killed Nancy, of course, though he’s showing himself to be a violent rapist. He passed a lie detector test, so he’s been cleared. Part 2 of our look at how the Reid technique and lie detectors and the false confession they elicited launched John Reid to national fame and influenced criminal investigations in the U.S., an influence that continues to this day. Maureen presents. Rebecca gives an NNW review to the Netflix doc series “Missing: Dead or Alive?” If you're interested in checking out Maureen's Maine-based Bernadette “Bernie” O’Dea mystery novels, including the award-winning (seriously!)

To close out 2025, The Piano Pod brings you a special year-end bonus episode featuring composer and storyteller Stefania De Kenessey. Earlier this season, we explored her MICROVIDS project; today, Stefania takes us behind the scenes of another major undertaking: her opera The Bonfire of the Vanities, based on Tom Wolfe's iconic novel.In this conversation, Stefania reflects on the creative risks, structural challenges, and artistic values behind adapting a 700-page book for the operatic stage. She shares insights on distillation, libretti, character reimagining, and the emotional stakes of composing—offering a rare look at how large-scale musical works take shape.You'll hear Stefania discuss:Transforming a sprawling novel into a cohesive operaThe unique demands of crafting a focused, effective librettoReimagining characters and narrative power dynamicsWhat music can unveil that prose alone cannotChoosing a darker, more pointed endingThe exhilarating—and sometimes brutal—reality of composingICYMI: Revisit our full episode on MICROVIDS in Season 6, Episode 3This episode is a thoughtful reminder that music is not only a craft, but a conviction. Stefania's perspective highlights how storytelling, ethics, and imagination intersect in contemporary composition.Thank you for being part of The Piano Pod community this year. We return on January 13, 2026, with a brand-new episode to kick off the new year.

It's no secret that for the past ten years, The Bonfire has followed Corey Feldman's musical exploits and even went to his shows. There are no greater experts on the Feldog in this time period except for Marcie Hume. She directed a film called "Corey Feldman vs The World" and Bonfire critics are already calling it the documentary of the year. Marcie was a fly on the wall for the launch of his music career which was both fun and sad for her. She got to see all the people who love Corey and also his complicated dynamic with his angel bandmates. "Corey Feldman vs The World" is available now on Apple TV! *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!
