Brush Creek Distillery (Saratoga, WY) WF0077 As we reach the end of the western swing of the Great 48 Tour, I reach the most sprawling and scenic distillery of the trip. Out in the wilds of Wyoming, isolated from the rest of the world stands a 30,000 acre ranch and luxury resort with a distillery, underground speakeasy, and some unique ways to reuse elements of its whiskey barrels. Join me as I chat with the Managing Director of the distillery Andrew Wason. We'll talk about who turned him onto this job, how that same person inspired him to put whiskey on the rails, and the "blank slate" in began with, and the industry veteran he leaned on for to get things going in the right direction. It's a fascinating conversation talking about an incredible destination. Patreon paid subscribers, get an extra 20 minutes of conversation---commercial free.

The Witching Hour is upon us in this Halloween special, it's time to pull up a rickety, mouldy stool at the near-empty pub, the Brush, Nose and Bone. In this episode, we're joined by a master of horror, Keith Dozois of USB Escape to discuss all things horror in escape rooms. How does horror affect puzzles? What are our best (and worst) experiences with horror? And how do you make horror good in an escape room? As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jamie - Ice Nine Kills (band), a metalcore whose recent output has been centred around iconic horror films, and was a big inspiration for Jamie's episode this arc. Mairi - Strange Jigsaws (game by fleb), a short digital puzzle game about solving 50 or so rather strange jigsaws. The prequel (20 Small Mazes) is free, if you want to see what sort of thing you're getting yourself into. Jon - Never Let Me Go (novel by Kazuo Ishiguro), a slow gentle book about a trio of young folks in the British countryside but they attend a very unusual school and are on an unusual life trajectory. Keith - Scarlet Envelope for their fantastic puzzle games (yay), and Curios' Albrecht Manor Letters, an epistolary horror experience through writing letters. Two fantastic Canada-based game creators. Hosts: Mairi Nolan, Jon Saunders, Jamie Gibbs Special Guest: Keith Dozois Editor: Jamie Gibbs All links to our social media profiles and our Patreon programme over at https://linktr.ee/theinfiniteescaperoom TLDR: The final episode in the VHS Nightmare arc has the four hosts chatting about all things horror game, and puzzle game design at a spooky pub. The Infinite Escape Room is a comedy escape room podcast where a group of friends make and solve audio escape rooms for one another.

Dan and Julia talk to Rose Armstrong of McBeans Orchids, one of Britain's oldest and most illustrious nurseries. Your hosts discover what makes orchids such a vast and successful plant family and what's needed to grow and propagate them successfully at home. Before you ask, rainwater IS required, so get collecting now! Later in the episode, Julia explains how to overwinter your favourite chilli plants, and Dan describes the difference between bypass and anvil secateurs. As always, there's a handy reminder of the jobs you can be doing in your garden over the next fortnight to round off.Jobs for the fortnightMulch around the base of plants and over empty beds and borders. Over winter, worms will busily pull the organic matter into the soil, improving its structure. Collect leaves and add them to your compost heap, or pack them into jute sacks. They'll slowly decompose to make leaf mould—one of the most precious ingredients in good compost. Shredding them will make them break down faster.Brush paths with coarse sand or use a jet washer to remove moss and algae, which can become slippery when wet or icy.In exposed gardens, reduce the height of tall shrubs such as roses, buddleia, and lavatera to prevent them from rocking in high winds. For the same reason, newly planted trees should be staked low down.Turn off the water supply to outdoor taps and drain hosepipes before storing them. Install a water butt if you need a ready supply of water over winter.If you've experienced blight, black spot, rust, or mildew this season, it's essential to remove and destroy any infected plant matter. Cutting off this year's hellebore leaves is a good idea, allowing an uncluttered view of the nodding blooms in spring.Take a walk around the garden and inspect the large shrubs and trees, noting any branches that appear as if they might fall. Remove them yourself using loppers or a pruning saw if you feel able. If in doubt, call an arborist for a second opinion and to carry out the work. Do the same exercise for fences, garden buildings and ornamental structures, such as pergolas. Give the lawn one last cut, avoiding emerging bulbs - some early-flowering varieties can appear above ground well before Christmas.Order and plant bare-rooted plants. This is one of the cheapest and most environmentally friendly ways to create a hedge, rose garden, orchard or woodland area.

Christine and David have been together for a little over ten months after first meeting on Hinge a year ago. Christine tells us for the most part things have been great, but because David is a trainer who is trying to become a “fitness influencer” she has noticed David is posting less about her. At the same time, Christine has noticed that David will delete comments she leaves on his post and that someone switched out her hairbrush she left at David's place and swapped it with a cheaper brush. Christine isn't sure what's going on, but asks for our help to see what's happening. We call David pretending to send him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask David who he wants them sent to, he asks us to send them to someone named Megan. Find out what's really going on in this week's War Of The Roses!

Peter Doig talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Doig, who was born in Edinburgh in 1959 but grew up in Trinidad and Canada, has created a relentlessly inventive and evolving body of paintings over the past 40 years. Informed by memory, by Doig's own photographs and found images, by an intimate knowledge and interpretation of art history, by a profound response to place and architecture, and by images and moods evoking diverse cultural forms beyond visual art, his works possess a poetic and sonorous sense of feeling and atmosphere. Often realised over many years, each painting is unique rather than part of a series, even if it shares recurring iconography with other pieces. Fundamentally concerned with figuration, Doig draws on a vast range of painterly approaches from resonant stains to thick impasto, stretching his medium to its full expressive potential and into the realms of abstraction. He has said that he wants painting to be a world unto itself and perhaps no other artist of the past few decades has created such a distinctive language for achieving that aim. Indeed, so widespread is his influence that one might describe a painterly strand in recent art around the globe as Doigian. Across his career, Peter's work has been informed by a passionate engagement with music. He has said: “Music, being an invisible art form, is open to interpretation within the mind's eye, and reflections from the mind's eye are often what I'm attempting to depict in my work.” He achieves a particular tonality and ambience that evoke his aspiration to the condition of that artform, a factor emphasised in House of Music, the exhibition at the Serpentine South until 8 February 2026. He discusses several of the paintings in that show in depth, and reflects on his changing response to Trinidad, where he was based between 2002 and 2019, and his references in the paintings to the “residues of imperialism”. Among much else, he discusses the early influence of Edward Burra, his enduring fascination with Henri Matisse, his response to early graffiti art in New York, and his current fascination with Caravaggio's Beheading of St John the Baptist (1608). He talks about his friendship and collaboration with the poet Derek Walcott and the importance to his work of STUDIOFILMCLUB, the repertory cinema he founded in his Port of Spain studio with Che Lovelace. Plus, he gives insight into his life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: “what is art for?”Peter Doig: House of Music, Serpentine South, London, until 8 February 2026. There are a number of Sound Service events on Sundays through the length of the exhibition, as well as other evening sessions. Visit serpentinegalleries.org to find out more. Hosted on Acast.

This episode is about to make you very mad at your expensive makeup brushes and very obsessed with smelling like confidence. Get ready for a $6 Amazon brush that applies foundation better than tools ten times the price, Zoe Foster Blake's new fragrances that smell like pure confidence in a bottle, and the kind of luxury skincare that lets you be completely lazy while still waking up glowing. We're also getting brutally honest about birthday beauty rituals, why certain textures make us irrationally happy, middle-of-the-night skin emergencies that send you running to the garage, and the sneaky psychology behind why every beauty brand launches their best stuff right before Christmas. Plus, there's powder that turns into body wash, sustainable luxury that's actually worth the hype, and some very scientific fragrance testing that involved a lot of arm-sniffing.

Christopher Wool talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped their lives and work. Wool, who was born in Chicago in 1955, and lives between New York and Marfa, Texas, today, is a sophisticated and dextrous explorer of the act of making paintings and other forms of art. He emerged in a period in which painting's validity was being questioned amid the supremacy of conceptual and photographic practices in the avant-garde scene of New York in the late 1970s. And he has made light of that doubt in a cerebral practice in which he probes paint's capacity to reflect diverse material properties, processes and effects, its openness to chance events and slippages, and its ability to contain or convey meaning through words and image. Working in often overlapping series embodied by particular methods or tools, propositions and actions, his practice has been one of relentless curiosity, where his own output is consistently reevaluated and recast through the literal repurposing of existing imagery as the foundation of new works. Though best known for his paintings, Christopher has made photographs from the start of his career, and since the mid-2010s has developed a fertile seam of sculpture. His work across all these media is similarly agile, with the different strands in a seemingly endless evolving conversation on pictorial, material and spatial concerns. He discusses the seismic effect of experiencing the Art Ensemble of Chicago and an installation by Dan Flavin as a young person, seeing Jean-Michel Basquiat's first New York solo show with Dieter Roth, how Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye influenced one of his untitled text paintings, and eventually the title of his recent acclaimed New York and Marfa show, See Stop Run, and how jazz has been a consistent source of inspiration. He gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate, “What is art for?”Christopher Wool, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 19 December; See Stop Run West Texas, Brite Building, Marfa, Texas, until at least May 2027.

This week's episode is a masterclass on vascular anomaly treatment. Brush up on your malformations with Dr. Cliff Weiss, the Director of the Vascular Anomaly Center at Johns Hopkins. He shares next-level techniques, precision diagnostics, and his 'gold standard' approach to alcohol sclerotherapy.---This podcast is supported by:RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/---SYNPOSISThe episode begins with the most vital component of patient care: establishing a correct diagnosis through proper classification. Dr. Weiss shares his philosophy that “MRI is a conversation” - not just an image, detailing the specific MRI protocols to confidently make a diagnosis over 90% of the time. He then shares an overview of the classification system, differentiating vascular tumors like hemangiomas from high-flow and low-flow vascular malformations.Dr. Weiss explores a wide array of treatment strategies tailored to each diagnosis. He walks through his techniques for treating low-flow malformations with sclerotherapy—using agents like alcohol, doxycycline, and bleomycin based on a lesion's location and characteristics—and his use of cryoablation for vascular tumors. He then dives into the creative and high-stakes approaches for treating AVMs, comparing transvenous and transarterial embolization with agents like Onyx and coils, before concluding with his predictions on the future of IR in the field.---TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction 02:36 - Vascular Anomaly Center at Johns Hopkins06:33 - Vascular Anomaly & Malformation Diagnosis with Imaging09:04 - Classifying Vascular Anomalies15:55 - Vascular Tumors18:46 - Low-Flow Malformations27:58 - Needle Placement29:56 - Retro-orbital & ENT Malformations32:44 - AVM Treatment Strategy40:41 - Following up with Patients
Suzanne Jackson talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Jackson, who was born in 1944 in St. Louis, Missouri, but grew up in San Francisco and Fairbanks, Alaska, has worked across drawing and painting, poetry, dance and theatre, to explore a strong and often spiritual connection between people and the natural world. With a fluid and poetic painting style, Suzanne has responded to the many different natural and social environments in which she has lived in the US, from San Francisco and Los Angeles, to Fairbanks, Alaska and Savannah, Georgia, to forge a distinctive take on the world and the communities that inhabit it. She taps into a broad range of artistic languages, including Native American and African American traditions, and exhibits a deep sensitivity to history and ecology while reflecting profoundly on her personal lived experience. She has also been a gallery owner and public art administrator, with a keen sense of the role art can play in uniting and inspiring communities. Today, she makes installations formed by painted and sculptural forms that hang in the exhibition space, directly addressing subjects including the climate catastrophe. She discusses the important moment where she first encountered the work of Barbara Chase Riboud, a profound encounter with Elizabeth Catlett and her admiration for Torkwase Dyson. She talks of her passion for the cartoons Archy and Mehitabel and Krazy Kat, and her love of Mississippi Delta Blues and jazz or as she calls it, African American classical music. Plus she gives insight into her life in the studio and answer our usual questions, including the ultimate, “what is art for?”Suzanne Jackson: What is Love, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, until 1 March 2026; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 14 May-23 August 2026; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 26 September 2026-7 February 2027 Hosted on Acast.

In October 1996, a rancher in rural Wise County, Texas, stumbled on a body hidden in a brush pile. For over two years she was known only as “Brush Girl,” a Jane Doe with no name, no identity, and no justice. Eventually, persistence and forensic artistry revealed her true identity: 14-year-old April Dawn Lacy from Oklahoma City.April's story is one of poverty, addiction, instability, and systemic failure — a child caught between parents lost to alcohol and drugs, shuffled between motels and friends' homes, desperate for stability. Five days after storming out of a seedy motel room following a fight with her mother, she was dead. Strangled. Dumped. Forgotten by many, but not by all.This episode follows April's life, disappearance, discovery, and identification, and examines how her murder fits into a chilling pattern of killings along interstates in Texas and Oklahoma — crimes later tied to long-haul truckers like John Robert Williams, the so-called “Big Rig Killer.”Nearly three decades later, April's grave still bears no headstone. Her case remains unsolved. But her story is more than a case number — it is a call for justice, and a reminder of the children who slip through the cracks.If you have any information regarding the 1996 murder of April Dawn Lacy, please contact the Wise County Sheriff's Office at (940) 627-5971.Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Houston Chronicle, The Daily Oklahoman, The Bryan-College Station Eagle, The Tyler Morning TelegraphYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Wolfgang Tillmans talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Tillmans, born in Remscheid, Germany, in 1968, has changed the history of photography. He has taken established genres of art and the photographic medium, from portraiture to still life, landscape, political subjects and abstraction, and relentlessly experimented with the framing, printing and presentation of his images and photographic objects. His subjects include everything from urgent imagery of social events like protests or club nights, formal portraits and experimental cameraless photography. From the very start of his now close to four-decade career, Tillmans has shown his works in installations that respond specifically to the intricacies of the spaces in which they are displayed, with the photographs presented in formats that range from postcard size to vast and enveloping prints. The images might abut the corner of a room, be hung high up the walls or unorthodoxly low, or adjacent to bureaucratic elements like fire exit signs. They might be organised in flurries or constellations, or in spare linear arrangements or grids. Through this process, Wolfgang consistently reenergises his archive, juxtaposing images taken years and sometimes decades apart. While photography has remained his primary medium, Wolfgang has steadily expanded his media, with video installation, text and sound and music gaining increasing prominence in his exhibitions. He discusses the early impact on him of seeing the work of Kurt Schwitters, his current interest in the paintings of Francisco de Zurbarán, his long association with the contemporary German artist Isa Genzken, a profound experience at a Laurie Anderson concert in 1986 and the influence of the Indian writer and philosopher, Jiddu Krishnamurti. Plus he gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Wolfgang Tillmans: Build From Here, Maureen Paley, London, 3 October–20 December; Ausstellung in Remscheid, Haus Cleff, Remscheid, until 4 January 2026; 36th Bienal São Paulo: Not every traveler walks the roads – On humanity as a practice, until 11 January 2026; Fictions of Display, MOCA Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, until 4 January 2026; Könnt ihr noch? – Kunst und Demokratie, Königsklasse, Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Munich, until 12 October 2025; On View: Begegnungen mit dem Fotografischen, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, until 12 October 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Nick tracks down Dr. Brent Race, a lead scientist from NIH (National Institutes of Health) who worked on the study; Inactivation of chronic wasting disease prions using sodium hypochlorite. The findings are exciting and promising for home or commercial processors who could be butchering infected deer. Using a solution of 40% bleach and a soak of 5 minutes, CWD prions can be inactivated, saving your cutlery, and non-porous cutting surfaces from infecting further butcher jobs, thus having to be pitched. With many parts of the country, including my home county in Michigan, having to face this growing problem that is showing to be very formidable. However, this may be a battle won in the ongoing war of CWD. Dr. Race explained that deactivating other infectious prion diseases with bleach is “old news”, but no work had been done on CWD in cervides (classification of the deer species) with a bleach treatment. Running several simulations with infected brain matter, stainless steel rods were covered in infectious prions and submerged in different concentrations of bleach along with varying amounts of time. The now treated roda were moved over to a solution of healthy prion material. Activated infectious prions would begin mutating healthy prions, making them infectious. In-activated infectious prions can't mutate healthy prions, meaning they couldn't spread the infection. Article: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/household-bleach-inactivates-chronic-wasting-disease-prions Actual Study (if you enjoy scientific reading): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223659 From the discussion, Huntavore has put together some procedures to think about when cutting up your own deer that could be infected. Mind you these are steps are being proactive, reacting to not knowing your deer is positive for CWD, rather than reactive and scrambling with the news of knowing your deer is positive, Setup: Put down a disposable ground covering, like plastic drop cloth or construction paper (the large rolls). Place cutting table on covered area. Might want to avoid the kitchen table. Proceed cutting up the animal making sure keep cuts in non-porous containers Bag, seal, wrap, whatever your storing method then box up, freeze, and wait for the results (hardest part). Try to avoid grinding meat at this point. Clean Up: Make sure the area is WELL ventilated. Brush fat, and silverskin, small bits on the ground cover, rollup and bag up. Wash and scrub both table/cutting boards, and used saws or knives per usual. Removing all remaining macro bits. Rinse and let dry (to not dilute the bleach treatment. Sack up all sponges/rags/Brillo pads that were used (wait on the test results, if positive, toss with the meat. If ok, they can be used again.) Mix up a container of 1 to 1 parts water and household bleach. Place all cutlery in the solution, making sure bleach can get to all surfaces. Set a timer for 5 minutes, watch carefully. Pull, rinse, let dry before putting away. In a spray bottle, filled with full strength bleach, spray down cutting boards or cutting table, as long as they are non porous. Let set for 5-7 minutes, watching the surface so it's not damaged by the bleach. When time is up, rinse off and let dry.
