NWA Crock and Roll Revisit No. 6, originally aired in December of 2020 on Place to Be Nation Podcast Network Matt Souza (Piece of the Action, Highway to the Impact Zone, Jenny and the Gems) joins the boys for a special bonus episode as they look at September 1985 Super Shows. 9 matches from Battle of the Belts 1 in Florida, WWC 5 Year Anniversary from Puerto Rico, and SuperClash 1 from Chicago—all from September '85! They open with some discussion on the passing of Pat Patterson, then dive into the action: 3 Road Warriors matches against legendary opponents and tag teams 3 Ric Flair title defenses, including a fantastic one with Magnum TA that they've waited five months for, one against a man with a pinfall win over Randy Savage earlier in the year, and one that causes controversy as Calum almost gets a pink slip for the holidays Possibly the worst match they will ever cover on this pod Dr. G's memories of Billy Jack Haynes A Six-Man Title match with the Russians vs. a team they had about ten names for (Team Cocoon?) Flair trying to get killed in Puerto Rico Terrible Larry Nelson and Mike Graham commentary …and so much more.

How do you rebuild your life, your business, and your identity… when you've been taught to handle everything alone? In this episode, I sit down with Calum Richardson — ex-navy, business owner, and now part of Elite X — to unpack how he went from burnt out and exploding… to leading himself, his business, and trekking to Everest Base Camp. We break down exactly how the coaching inside Alliance helped Calum: ✅ Rebuild confidence and clarity after burnout ✅ Grow his business without obsessing over it ✅ Restructure his consultancy into a purpose-led machine ✅ Take back control of his time, energy, and mission This is what happens when a driven man gets honest, finds accountability, and stops pretending he's fine. If you're a high-performing man who feels like life is running you — this episode is a wake-up call. What we cover:

It has been a very busy couple of weeks in Alberta's baseball world. We get through some of the big storylines before sitting down with a handful of guests. Ian went to see the Medicine Hat Mavericks host the Regina Red Sox, while Joe visited Lethbridge as the Bulls welcomed the Weyburn Beavers. Hear from Carter Roth (Stratford, Ontario), Kai Langford (Houston, Texas), Brett Getz (Medicine Hat) and Ethan Webster (White Rock, B.C.), then we visit with Vauxhall Academy rising star Calum Andersen (Calgary) after he was named to Team Alberta for the Canada Summer Games. 9:22 – Carter Roth 15:35 – Kai Langford 20:51 – Brett Getz 26:37 – Ethan Webster 32:37 – Calum Andersen

This month Duncan and Calum are joined by Society brand ambassador and member services executive, Francesco Ramella. While finding out what's on offer in the July Outturn, the trio remember their favourite outdoor adventures and discuss Francesco's whisky journey.

Ted is joined by former Red Bull technician Calum Nicholas and Sky Sports own Craig Slater to discuss all the action from the Austrian Grand Prix. What was the difference between Oscar and Lando, how are Red Bull feeling after a disappointing home race, Sauber's new base and Calum gives us an insight into life in the pit lane.

Devil and Angel (2015) is the last film of Calum's Chineaboo Dream month and the last film we will cover on this podcast. Until we come back in September, that is. We thought we'd conclude with a movie that tens of people have seen and enjoyed. Is that a Wuxia film? No. Not in the slightest. But this is our podcast, so we can do what we want and we want to make an episode only our top stans will bother with.Join us in September for our Hunger Games month!

Originally aired on Place to Be Nation Podcast Feed in 2020, The Crockett time machine rolls into July 1985 as the crew welcomes first-time Crockett viewer Ben Locke to the show!  The episode opens with a tribute to the late Road Warrior Animal, setting the tone for a heartfelt yet lively discussion. From there, the boys dive into one of the wildest weeks in wrestling history—July 5-13, featuring the first-ever Great American Bash, a red-hot six-man main event on Mid-Atlantic TV, and an all-time classic Tag Team Title Match. The crew also explores: The impact and legacy of Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 1985 The universal love for The Andersons (and the not-so-universal love for Jimmy Valiant) Hot crowds, Crockett tropes, and David Crockett's many expressive faces A new man crush for Ben A match that had Calum feeling some type of way Another legendary Dr. G story featuring the mysterious Grand Wizard The greatness of Manny Fernandez, and "The Flying Burrito" An all-time innuendo-laced promo from Magnum T.A. before chaos ensues The rise of a promising midcard with Terry Taylor, Sam Houston, and even American Eagle (yes, who?) The short-lived but real reign of World Champion Buddy Landell A heel Dusty Rhodes, a babyface Ric Flair, and a bonus World Title match from Mid-South The ongoing saga of Baby Doll, complete with Floyd the horse drama From new champions to emerging stars, ridiculous promos to emotional farewells—July ‘85 is absolutely loaded, and this episode captures every bit of it.

Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) is up next in Calum's Chine-aboo Dream month! We have another Wuxia film, but this one is a lot less highly regarded than the other ones that have featured this month. Does this mean we enjoyed it less? Of course not, we are nothing but natural contrarians. We also love a bit of drama and this film is absolutely full of it.Join us next week as we watch Devil and Angel (2015)

Hero (2002) is up next in our poorly named kinda Wuxia month in honour of Calum's birthday. Hero is beloved on the internet, but is it beloved by Sam and Calum? Well, it certainly is colourful and that alone gives it points. We're easily distracted by shiny things. We expertly demonstrate our lack of knowledge in this one, so enjoy!Join us next week as we watch Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)

We're joined by co-founder Calum Ferguson for a chat about The Alba FA, a football association which represents Scotland's Gàidhealtachd - the Gaelic speaking community.The Alba FA have held training camps in Gaelic communities around the world, inspired by Calum's experience as a professional footballer.

Our guest today is Calum Hood, best known as a member of one of Australia's biggest bands, 5 Seconds of Summer. While 5SOS have spent over a decade topping charts and selling out arenas around the world, Calum is now stepping into a new era with his debut solo album, Order Chaos Order. It's a raw and introspective record that reveals a different side of his artistry—marked by emotional depth, creative control, and a clear vision of who he is as a songwriter. In today's episode, we chat with Calum about the making of the album, the personal experiences that shaped its themes, and what it's been like forging his own path outside of 5SOS.Calum Hood: Instagram / Spotify Find more information about Calum Hood hereVisit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

The final part of Issue 61 is a special Spotlight episode focusing on the films of Denis Villeneuve. Returning guest host Calum joins us to examine how this rather understated French Canadian filmmaker has quietly built up arguably the best filmography of the last 15 years. Films like Sicario, Arrival and the two Dune films show his ability to do things few other directors can, and we want to find out how he's done it. We pay particular attention to his mind-bending early independent film Enemy and his hugely ambitious follow up to Ridley Scott's sci classic with Blade Runner 2049.   The other parts of Issue 61 are out now and the next issue of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd will be arriving from June 25th.

 Originally aired: August 19, 2020 on Place to Be Wrestling Network It's a jam-packed second episode as hosts Shawn, Calum, and Doctor G are joined by guest Matt Souza to break down the action from May 1985 in Jim Crockett Promotions! Expect two major title changes, two TV Title matches (including a hidden gem classic), and Ron Garvin defending the National Heavyweight Title. The crew also dives into: A surprisingly divisive 3-star Italian Stallion match The conclusion of Dusty Rhodes' Gorilla saga and the intensifying feud with Tully Blanchard The escalating Jones/Valiant war, where emotions run high—including a shocking Jones/Flair comparison Ric Flair's brilliance in his ongoing program with Magnum T.A. The charisma of Buddy “The Smooth Operator” Landell And so much more from the golden days of NWA  So fire up the Superstation, set your clocks to 6:05 PM Eastern, and get ready to roll through one of the most thrilling months in 1985 wrestling history. As Dusty would say: It's Risky Business in May '85, Daddy!

Hosted by Shawn and featuring a rotating cast of voices from the  Backbone Feed & PTBN, the 60 episodes that aired dive deep into the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions, covering the red-hot years of 1985 and 1986 in meticulous, episode-by-episode detail.

From the rise of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to territory-hopping tales and hidden gems, Crock & Roll brings history back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike. On episode 1: Join hosts Shawn , Calum ,Doctor G, and guest Jacob Williams as they kick off the deep dive into the Jim Crockett Promotions era, starting with the April 1985 episodes of World Championship Wrestling on TBS. In this debut episode, the crew breaks down: The dominance of the Andersons Dusty Rhodes and his bizarre “hand in the jar” approach to be in everything Tully Blanchard channeling James Bond The rise of the Koloffs The launch of a wild Jimmy Valiant vs. Paul Jones feud Early signs of Magnum TA's feud with Ric Flair — and a less-than-stellar showing Plus, why titles and promos actually mattered in this era.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) kicks off Calum's birthday month. We're watching Wuxia movies, but we can't think of a name for this month that won't get us in trouble. Sam isn't educated enough, and Calum is Calum. Cookies to anyone who can think of a name. Hopefully, this month and this film will get us some desperately needed cool points. Join us next week as we watch another Wuxia film that Sam can't remember the name of right now.

On Episode 53 of Chicken Salad join Ben Locke and Calum McDougall as they review Judgement Day 2002. In a period with quite possibly the most stacked roster in terms of talent you might be surprised that this show gets picked for salad. Unfortunately in 2002 you only have a couple of people who are in the prime of their career at this time as well as some people who are just collecting a paycheck, you combine this with some bad booking and matches and we have a perfect Salad show. As well as talking about the PPV Ben and Calum also lament the demise of Skype as its the last time using the service. Come for the concept but stay for Calum losing his train of thought because of a worldly it's Chicken Salad.

Our guest in this episode is Henry Shevlin. Henry is the Associate Director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, where he also co-directs the Kinds of Intelligence program and oversees educational initiatives. He researches the potential for machines to possess consciousness, the ethical ramifications of such developments, and the broader implications for our understanding of intelligence. In his 2024 paper, “Consciousness, Machines, and Moral Status,” Henry examines the recent rapid advancements in machine learning and the questions they raise about machine consciousness and moral status. He suggests that public attitudes towards artificial consciousness may change swiftly, as human-AI interactions become increasingly complex and intimate. He also warns that our tendency to anthropomorphise may lead to misplaced trust in and emotional attachment to AIs.Note: this episode is co-hosted by David and Will Millership, the CEO of a non-profit called Prism (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines). Prism is seeded by Conscium, a startup where both Calum and David are involved, and which, among other things, is researching the possibility and implications of machine consciousness. Will and Calum will be releasing a new Prism podcast focusing entirely on Conscious AI, and the first few episodes will be in collaboration with the London Futurists Podcast.Selected follow-ups:PRISM podcastHenry Shevlin - personal siteKinds of Intelligence - Leverhulme Centre for the Future of IntelligenceConsciousness, Machines, and Moral Status - 2024 paper by Henry ShevlinApply rich psychological terms in AI with care - by Henry Shevlin and Marta HalinaWhat insects can tell us about the origins of consciousness - by Andrew Barron and Colin KleinConsciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness - By Patrick Butlin, Robert Long, et alAssociation for the Study of ConsciousnessOther researchers mentioned:Blake LemoineThomas NagelNed BlockPeter SengeGalen StrawsonDavid ChalmersDavid BenatarThomas MetzingerBrian TomasikMurray ShanahanMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationPromoguy Talk PillsAgency in Amsterdam dives into topics like Tech, AI, digital marketing, and more drama...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Real Talk About MarketingAn Acxiom podcast where we discuss marketing made better, bringing you real...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Mwah hah hah hah hah!).Carry On Henry, as one might expect, follows a fictionalised account of Henry VIII and his marriage to Marie of Normandy. A lot of familiar faces from the Carry On franchise appear in this one, so surely that guarantees a good time?June is Calum's birth month, so join us next time for a brand new theme of his choosing, kicking off with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

ED NOTE: here's my episode with Hood's bandmate Ashton Irwin.It's about time a songwriter referenced the movie Lost in Translation, as 5 Seconds of Summer bassist Calum Hood did in our conversation. It's part of Hood's process: he finds inspiration everywhere. And he likes to create every day, but that doesn't always happen. "I'm an anxious person anyway, so if I go a few days without writing, I start to wonder what's going on," Hood says. "That's when I practice mindfulness." Calum Hood's debut solo album is ORDER chaos ORDER on Capitol Records.

Yellow Submarine (1968) is the last film to feature in our Quirky Animation month, and this one certainly fits the brief.

We're unveiling a new series on the podcast: Corman Graduates, where we chronologically discuss the filmography of a director who went through "the Roger Corman school of filmmaking" and we're starting with Jack Hill, director of films like TEH BIG DOLL HOUSE and COFFY. Joining us for this first episode is writer, film historian, and filmmaker Calum Waddell, who literally wrote the book on Jack Hill with 2009's Jack Hill: The Exploitation and Blaxploitation Master, Film By Film. We start at the very beginning of Hill's career with "The Host," his student film at UCLA, and his entry into the world of Roger Corman with his work on 1962's THE WASP WOMAN and 1963's THE TERROR before getting his first feature-length assignment, 1966's BLOOD BATH aka TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE, which saw Hill try to create a film around footage from a film shot in Yugoslavia that Corman had invested in.  Corman eventually hands it to Stephanie Rothman, another Corman graduate, who took Hill's film about an obsessed artist who murders his models into a vampire film (at Corman's request, of course). Did we like the film? We discuss! We then talk about what Jack Hill felt was his true directorial debut, 1967's SPIDER BABY, which Hill did away from Corman and took some time before it reached theaters and then was mostly forgotten until Quentin Tarantino stepped in the 1990s when he re-released Hill's 1975 film SWITCHBLADE SISTERS on his now-defunct Rolling Thunder Pictures label. We'll discuss the incredible performances - including Sid Haig and Lon Chaney Jr. - and why the film was so prophetic to the horror films that followed it. Don't miss this look into the beginnings of Jack Hill's career with the keen insight and first-hand knowledge of another exploitation expert, Calum Waddell.
