Send us a textJeyne Poole marries Ramsay Bolton at Winterfell. Theon gives her away, Wyman Manderly supplies the victuals, Abel serenades the newlyweds, and Barbrey Dustin steals Simon's best material. Simon and Mackelly reminisce about the good old days.Chapter Review:Theon Greyjoy encourages Jeyne Poole to never drop her facade, she must be Arya Stark. He escorts her to the godswood where Ramsay Bolton and the gathered northern lords await. The ceremony takes only a few moments despite a last second unspoken entreaty by Jeyne, to which Theon hardens his heart. Theon hears his name from the heart tree, and hurries out of there.The wedding feast features three enormous pies supplied by Wyman Manderly. Roose Bolton watches to see that the lord of White Harbor takes a bite before he partakes. Lady Barbrey Dustin confides her suspicions to Theon: Wyman is a craven who hates his new friends, Roose Bolton has aspirations to be King in the North, and that maesters aren't to be trusted. Ramsay forces Theon to take part in the rape of Jeyne. Her future looks awfully bleak. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Reek - Broken shell of Theon Greyjoy.Ramsay Bolton - Newly legitimized son of Roose Bolton. Nasty piece of work.Roose Bolton - Lord of the Dreadfort and Warden of the North.Arya Stark - Youngest daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark. Princess of Winterfell.Jeyne Poole - Married to Ramsay Bolton masquerading as Arya Stark.Barbrey Dustin - Lady of House Dustin.Wyman Manderly - Lord of White Harbor.

The 24th Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) landed in Beirut Lebanon on May 29th, 1983, as part of a peacekeeping force during Lebanon's Civil War. Once ashore, the MAU's battalion landing team, BLT 1/8, took up positions around Beirut International Airport. Things escalated and the Marines began regularly taking fire. They suffered their first deaths on August 29th when Staff Sergeant Alexander Ortega and Second Lieutenant George Losey were killed by mortar fire. Then on October 23rd, the Marine barracks was attacked by a suicide truck bomber. 241 U.S. personnel were killed. This attack remains the single deadliest day in Marine Corps' history since Iwo Jima. Jack Carr and James Scott tell the story in “Targeted: Beirut”.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Send us a textDaenerys continues her struggle to balance compassion with pragmatism, facing the horrors outside Meereen's walls, the humiliations of marriage politics, and stunning betrayals. With Darrio's return, the queen gives into her desires. Simon and Mackelly ponder whether such lust will make her stronger, or break her reign.Chapter Review:Daenerys Targaryen rides out to witness the Astapori refugees beyond the gates of Meereen. The misery is staggering: starving families, corpses crawling with flies, and the sick defecating where they lie. She orders food distributed and bodies burned, but even as she tries to act mercifully, Ser Barristan warns that resources must be held for the siege to come. Grey Worm requests leave to bathe in the sea after the burning, revealing a religious rite of the Unsullied.Back in the city, Daenerys is reminded of her impending marriage to Hizdahr zo Loraq. The Green Grace and Reznak mo Reznak press her to endure the demeaning rituals required, including an intimate inspection by her groom's kin. She relents to some, knowing her legitimacy in the eyes of Meereen's nobles depends on it. She refuses once more to reopen the fighting pits herself but allows Hizdahr to do so after the wedding. Over dinner, Hizdahr reassures her that such traditions are relics of the past they can sweep aside together.Their talk is interrupted by Daario Naharis' arrival. He is wounded but full of swagger, bringing word that Astapor has fallen and Yunkai gathers a formidable host with new allies. Worse, the Second Sons and Brown Ben Plumm have gone over to the enemy. Daenerys feels betrayed, wondering if this is one of the foretold three treasons. She orders Meereen's gates shut and the defenses readied. Finally, she clears the room and tends to Daario's wounds. After getting a pledge of undying support from the sellsword, Dany succumbs to her lust.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Daenerys Targaryen - Last remaining descendent of the royal Targaryen line, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, claimant to the Iron Throne of Westeros.Barristan Selmy - Former Lord Commander of the Kingsguard in King's Landing. Now Lord Commander of Dany's Queensguard.Reznak mo Reznak - Ghiscari seneschal of Meereen.Hizdahr zo Loraq - Noble of Meereen, betrothed to Daenerys.Daario Support the showSupport us: Buy us a Cup of Arbor Gold, or become a sustainer and receive cool perks Donate to our cause Use our exclusive URL for a free 30-day trial of Audible Buy or gift Marriott Bonvoy points through our affiliate link Rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, podchaser.com, and elsewhere.Find us on social media: Discord Twitter @GhostsHarrenhal Facebook Instagram YouTube All Music credits to Ross Bugden:INSTAGRAM! : https://instagram.com/rossbugden/ (rossbugden) TWITTER! : https://twitter.com/RossBugden (@rossbugden) YOUTUBE! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kthxycmF25M

Simon and Mackelly second guess every decision.Chapter Review:Lord Commander Jon Snow takes a group of new recruits north of the Wall to say their words before the grove of weirwoods where he said his own vows. The usual naysayers say nay, but Jon is adamant and takes Ghost along for added protection. They find a grove of weirwoods occupied by a sorry gang of refugee wildlings and a giant. Jon avoids bloodshed and the people (and giant) are invited to return to the Wall under their protection. They do - they don't have much choice. Even with a 14ft giant in their ranks they would have been slaughtered, and they'd die of cold and starvation if they didn't.The recruits say their vows, reminding Jon that the words promise to protect the realms of men - nothing about whether those people be born north or south of the Wall.Back at the Wall, a letter from Stannis reports his success at Deepwood Motte and his commitment to face down the Boltons, liberate Winterfell and, if at all possible, save Arya.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark.

Send us a textWhat if you could hold in your hands a roadmap to the most influential studies that have shaped modern neonatology? In this special episode of The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna sit down with Dr. John Zupancic, Dr. Susanna Hay, and Dr. Roger Soll to discuss the release of their new book, 50 Studies Every Neonatologist Should Know. Together with their co-editors Dr. Barbara Schmidt and Dr. Haresh Kirpalani, the team has distilled decades of neonatal research into an accessible, thoughtfully structured volume designed to guide clinicians, trainees, and educators.The conversation explores the motivation behind the book, the editorial process of selecting just 50 landmark trials from thousands, and the importance of revisiting historical studies to understand how evidence has evolved over time. From the groundbreaking DART trial to the early work of pioneers like Bill Silverman, the authors emphasize not only the science but also the stories, challenges, and human insights that lie behind each study.Whether you are a seasoned neonatologist or just beginning your training, this episode provides a behind-the-scenes look at a project that brings clarity and context to evidence-based practice.
Habits of High Performers by James Laughlin In Habits of High Performers, renowned strategist, mental skills coach, and award-winning podcaster James Laughlin uncovers the seven musts of a high-performing life. This collection of principles is a game-changer for anyone wanting to earn more, be healthier, grow, or the best at what they do. Habits of High Performers will show you that high performance is hormonal and plays a massive role in your ability to perform at your best. Cortisol, dopamine, and oxytocin all influence how we handle stress, stay motivated, and build connections. This book will also show you that high performers focus on their strengths, take their MEDs, supercharge their belief systems, understand that desire is to a result what fuel is to a fire, and when your why is clear, your how is easy. Habits of High Performers is a roadmap for everyday people to achieve extraordinary things. The Secrets of Secrets by Dan Brown Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she's been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon's world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself.

Simon and Mackelly are rooting for him.Chapter Review:Bran Stark starts his training in green-seeing and skin-changing with the three-eyed crow, who we learn is former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch Bryden Rivers. Jojen Reed's health has recovered but he seems resigned to a fate that he won't share with his increasingly concerned sister Meera.Bran continues to use Hodor to explore the cavern system, the big man has taken to curling up in a mental ball when Bran intrudes. Bran successfully wargs into a relatively willing raven and enjoys the experience of flying. He's also introduced to the skill of greenseeing. The immortal weirwoods have no conception of time, and so by becoming one with them Bran can see events that are remote in both distance and time. His first forays take him to the Winterfell godswood where he sees his relatives, and then in a cinematic montage a collection of his ancestors. Brynden has explained that he cannot interact or change the past, but Bran seems to be able to catch their attention.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brandon Stark - Prince (now king?) of Winterfell. Paralyzed when pushed from a tower by Jamie Lannister.Hodor - Enormous but simple-minded helper of Bran.Meera Reed - Daughter of Howland Reed.Jojen Reed - Son of Howland Reed. Has green dreams that invariably come true.Summer - Bran's direwolf.Brynden Rivers - Given name of the last greenseer.Children of the Forest - Humanoid original inhabitants of Westeros.Greenseer - Leader of the Children of the Forest.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: An Exploration of ‘Fabricated Fellowship' & ‘Harmful Religiosity' on the Path Towards Healing Spiritual Community [Part I of IV]As Richard Rohr has often said, "It is through great love and great suffering" that the soul grows the most rapidly and the most durably. In this four-part series (every MONDAY for the next four weeks!) fall in love with Steve and Ginger Hitz, co-authors of 'Igniting the Holy Flame: Building Communities of Love from the Ashes of Negative Religious Culture,' a book inspired by the tragic loss of their son, whose suffering was amplified by a church culture that could not meet him where he was.This book and this podcast series is a plea for further awakening around aspects of church communities that set about to help but instead inadvertently do harm through concepts like 'fabricated fellowship' and 'harmful religiosity'. In this series you will hear both candid conversation about the pain points of faith communities and how to heal, grow, and create peace both within ourselves and within our communities.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:22 Meet Steve and Ginger: A Journey of Love and Faith06:21 The Faith Journey and Spiritual Community09:37 Skyler's Story: A Catalyst for Change15:55 Interfaith Work and Universal Love18:01 Revelation and Healing After Loss25:08 Overview of 'Igniting the Holy Flame'31:58 Closing Thoughts and Future EpisodesSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

From Burnout to Bold: How GenX Women Can Reinvent Themselves w/Tina ColemanTina Coleman is the bold voice behind the upcoming book 50 Fabulous and Fuckable, a powerful guide that redefines what it means to be a woman at midlife. Her mission is to empower women approaching 50 and beyond to embrace reinvention, freedom, and unapologetic confidence while stepping into the most vibrant, authentic chapter of their lives.After more than two decades as a licensed massage therapist, Tina's career was abruptly cut short by a car accident. Instead of letting life's hardships define her, she chose to reinvent herself from the ground up. That reinvention began with traveling solo—an experience that opened her eyes to possibility, freedom, and courage. Solo travel became the catalyst that ultimately led her to move abroad, where she continues to embrace transformation and intentional living.Now, Tina shares her journey as living proof that it's never too late to create the life you want. Through her writing, speaking, and coaching, she inspires women to release burnout, overcome the weight of old narratives, and fully own their worth. She speaks openly about the challenges GenX women face—from shifting hormones and energy crashes to feeling invisible in a culture obsessed with youth—and flips the script into one of power, possibility, and abundance.Links:https://beacons.ai/transformbecourageoushttps://www.instagram.com/transform.be.courageous/?igsh=am9hdjVxOXV2d3h4&utm_source=qr#Tags:Author,Book Reviews,Growth Mindset,Midlife,Sobriety,Travel,Weight Loss,Women Empowerment,Writing A Book,From Burnout to Bold: How GenX Women Can Reinvent Themselves w/Tina Coleman,Live Video Podcast Interview,Podcast,InterviewSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

The priest Moqorro wants them to make haste, he's seen nasty shadows headed towards Daenerys and wants to be there to protect her. Mackelly and Simon take their Dramamine.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister is aboard the Selaesori Qhoran AKA “the Stinky Steward,” captained by a sour-faced man, but he's not commanding this journey, that would be the priest of R'Hllor Moqorro. Penny is keeping to herself, and Ser Jorah is brusque and unpleasant as always.Tyrion slowly ingratiates himself with Penny, and they start a friendship. She still blames him for her brother's death and the fact that she no longer has an act. He is confident that Daenerys will take Penny into her service. It takes coming through a tumultuous storm to make the young girl realize that she wants to live. They sail close to the ruins of Valyria, closer than the crew would like. Moqorro is insisting on haste though, because he's seen a vision of shadows closing on the young Queen in Meereen and wants to be with her as soon as possible.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Ser Jorah Mormont - Twice-disgraced knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
