We've officially entered the end-of-year zone... You know, the part where students are either bouncing off the walls or slumping over their desks like they've pulled three all-nighters in a row. And let's be honest, we're right there with them.In this week's episode, I'm unpacking a common (and deeply exhausting) classroom vibe: student apathy. That “ugh, why are we even here?” energy that rolls in hard during December. Whether your students are dragging their feet into class, doing the bare minimum (if anything), or slurping down Red Bulls the size of their heads — I've got you.We'll chat about:Why apathetic behaviours spike at the end of the year (spoiler: it's not just because they're lazy)How arousal states impact student engagementAnd most importantly? Some super practical strategies to upregulate energy in a way that doesn't leave you more drained than they are.What you'll learn:Why students are checked out in Term 4 (and why it's NOT a reflection of your teaching)The difference between low, optimal, and high arousal states — and how to use themMy favourite “shake it up” tricks for getting student energy backFun, fast ways to use novelty, movement, and talk-time to re-engage your classHow to maintain routines without making things boringHow your energy sets the tone — and what to do when you're the one running on fumesResources + Mentions:

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Matt Shoemaker, whose new book, Gathering of Gamers: Dungeons & Dragons and Other Games Through Gen Con, is available now through Play Story Press (https://playstorypress.org/books/gathering-of-gamers/). If you're interested in the history of North America's largest gaming convention or the history of Dungeons & Dragons, this is the book for you!Matt joins us for the conclusion of our look at Patricia Pulling and her personal war on Dungeons & Dragons during the 1980s. We look at the impact of her message on the news media as well as the growing body of critics who made the radical suggestion that maybe there wasn't a vast network of satanists operated undetected in the United States (shocking, I know) and that maybe Pat was less than up front about her claims.Topics discussed include: how does Geraldo Rivera keep getting work, Richmond's Satanist-Methodist ratio, the question of whether Pat knew her son was turning into a werewolf, and the salacious indiscretions of one of Pat's closest allies.Read Michael Stackpole's Pulling Report here: https://rpgstudies.net/stackpole/pulling_report.html.If you're looking for another well-researched epic takedown of the 1980s Satanic Panic, check out: Robert D.

The Boys are back to discuss week 9 action. Check it out!
On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia pull up proverbially barstools at Sardi's to discuss Richard Linklater's latest film Blue Moon, which is about one night in the life of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. As played by a transformed Ethan Hawke, Hart is witty, needy, and totally captivating. Next, they travel Down Cemetery Road by way of a conversation about the new conspiracy series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson based on a novel by Mick Heron of Slow Horses fame. Finally, they turn to a piece of real estate that may forever live in infamy as “The Pussy Palace” thanks to Lily Allen's brutally honest and stunningly well-crafted album West End Girl. On an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the hosts take up the issue of biographical pictures—aka biopics— and Slate's recent package Portrait Mode about the ubiquitous film genre. Endorsements: Dana: Lily Allen's song “The Fear”— to listen to and perform at karaoke. Julia: A boule of chocolate sourdough bread from the bakery of Milo & Olive in Los Angeles. Steve: Roberto Bolaño's novella By Night in Chile and Ella Fitzgerald singing “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered” on the album Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Song Book.

We continue our deep dive into anti-Dungeons & Dragons moral activist Patricia Pulling, founder of Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons (BADD), how she became an alleged expert on the occult, and the types of groups who were receptive to her declarations of the alleged hazardous effects of tabletop roleplaying games. Topics discussed include: The Devil's time hosting Family Feud, the logistics of books bound in human skin, police find demonic excuses to spend taxpayer money (and we share a few of our own ideas), and how computers may have fulfilled the prophecies of the Book of Revelation.For an amazing history of the Necronomicon, check out, Joseph P.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland tackle one of the most absurd phrases creeping into South Carolina's justice system — ‘Murdaugh fatigue.' After years of uncovering corruption, financial crimes, and systemic failures, many in power and some running for office want to move on… leaving victims behind… AGAIN. Mandy, Liz, and Eric break down the latest in Russell Laffitte's super soft sentencing, and the Billy Squires incident on Hilton Head. Both reveal how the system once again protects people that look like those in power while accepting the bare minimum to jail or prosecute anyone else. And we hope everyone listening remembers that Justice does not get tired — people do. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Alex Murdaugh family's shocking murders and deep-rooted secrets revealed in new Hulu limited series” - AP News, updated Oct 16, 2025

Nobel in Medicine for a leash on our immune systemOur immune system has enormous power to defend us against the wide range of pathogens and invaders that nature sends at us. But it's a double-edged sword, and can target its powerful weapons against us as well. This year's Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology went to a group who discovered a critical mechanism that keeps the immune system in check, under normal circumstances, giving them new insights into the diseases that occur when it goes wrong.Yogurt with a creepy-crawly secret ingredientA team of researchers has duplicated an ancient recipe for yogurt that uses a unique ingredient to initiate fermentation: ants. They added squished ants to fresh milk, buried it in an anthill to incubate it, and enjoyed zesty yogurt soon after. A microbiological analysis showed that the ants contributed a bacteria to the yogurt that is also present in sourdough starter.An ancestor of the largest dinosaurs was a dog-sized bipedResearchers have discovered a 230 million year old fossil high in the Andes of Argentina that is the precursor to the giant, long-necked sauropod dinosaurs like the iconic brontosaurus. This animal, however, is a two-legged herbivore that likely weighed less than 20 kilograms.Nobel in Physics for making particles ghostlyQuantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon in which subatomic particles can pass through apparently impenetrable objects like magic. This year's Nobel prize in physics was awarded to a team that discovered that this strange quantum phenomena can happen on larger scales too, and this has been exploited in all sorts of modern technology, including quantum computers.Neanderthals systematically rendered fat from animal bonesScientists think that the fragmented bones of hundreds of animals discovered at a neanderthal site in Germany represent the remains of a large-scale processing site where they extracted nutritious and useful fat. This could be used for a range of things, from skin protection to preserving meat similar to pemmican.Moose are hot. Are they bothered?During the fall rut moose, particularly the males, are very active searching for mates and competing with rivals. This activity generates a large amount of heat, which could be a problem as moose don't sweat. Scientists are investigating if, in a warmer climate, this might be interfering with their reproductive success.

SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! SHARE, BABY!Yet another episode, yet another opportunity for depth and character building WASTED. This week, Miranda once again leaves her own body and becomes a Looney Tune version of herself as she can't fathom the idea of her son and his gf catching her out in public at a rally for something she is about to have a career in, ON THE ISLAND SHE WORKS ON. Meanwhile, Carrie is desperate to make her nightmare of a downstairs neighbor like her, even though in any other circumstance Lisette would be evicted POST HASTE. Oh also, more penises than ever seen before, including Harry's, of whose we see go from peeing in a toilet (a classic MPK trope) to being serviced by his wife.
