In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author Kasia Jaronczyk about her novel, Voices in the Air (Palimpsest Press, 2025). What would drive women to risk the lives of their children and innocent people to leave their mother country forever? On April 30, 1982, two women and their families hijack a Polish passenger plane flying from Breslau to Warsaw in a bold attempt to escape Martial Law in Communist Poland and find safety in West Berlin. Among the hijackers are a cotton spinner whose husband wants to avoid a long prison sentence, a schoolteacher with a sick daughter, a pregnant fourteen-year-old who has visions of the Virgin Mary, and an ambitious young filmmaker. Inspired by real events, Voices in the Air is told from the point of view of these four women and a stewardess in love with the married pilot. Will they find happiness beyond the Iron Curtain or was the hijacking not worth the risk? Told using traditional narrative and documentary film-style interviews, Voices in the Air follows the main characters' lives before and after the hijacking, and through real-life events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fight for women's rights in modern Poland, the Covid pandemic and the refugee crisis on the Polish-Belarus border. A must-read novel exploring ambiguous moral choice, censorship, emigration, fate and regret. Kasia Jaronczyk is a Polish-Canadian writer, artist and microbiologist. She immigrated to Canada at the age of 14. Her debut short story collection Lemons was published in 2017 by Mansfield Press. She is a co-editor of the only anthology of Polish-Canadian short stories Polish(ed): Poland Rooted in Canadian Fiction (Guernica Editions, 2017). Her stories were short-listed for the Bristol Prize 2016 and long-listed for CBC Short Story Prize 2010. She has published in Canadian literary magazines such as TNQ, Room, Prairie Journal, Carousel, The Nashwaak Review, Postscripts to Darkness, and in anthologies Wherever I Find Myself. Essays by Canadian Immigrant Women (Miriam Matejova, Ed. Caitlin Press, April 2017) and The Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology (2016. Vol 9.). Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott and Candice kick off the After Dark two-parter with the “land” half of their trip: decompressing at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, an “epic (™)” Magic Kingdom day without rope drop, and a relaxed Epcot morning that turns into a revelation at GEO-82—the retro-futurist, 21+ lounge tucked behind Spaceship Earth.Highlights & takeaways:Poly perks: unbeatable location, laid-back vibe, and why celebration buttons quietly pay dividends.Day 1 bites & sips: Waialua Grill apps, Trader Sam's patio, Homecomin' (moonshine surprise), and why the Stack Burger at Steakhouse 71 still reigns.MK without the grind: Pirates, Country Bears (revamped & genuinely funny), double-loop on PeopleMover, Carousel of Progress comfort, Haunted Mansion nightcap, and why umbrellas > ponchos.Snacks with opinions: Cheeseburger spring rolls = must; crème brûlée croissant redeems Gaston's Tavern.Epcot flow: Ale & Compass breakfast strategy, Living with the Land, Journey of Water's improved audio, a quick hello to Walt, and the star of the show—GEO-82 (elevated cocktails, thoughtful tasting experiences, and a charcuterie board that lives rent-free in our heads).Service stories: a shipping fiasco that turned into a master-class in recovery at Creations Shop, plus a quick PSA on lost-child protocol (find a Cast Member—fast).Pro tips: pace your day, rotate transportation (resort launch can beat the monorail crush), wear your buttons, bring reusable straws, and don't be afraid to leave and come back.

Your hosts, and a guest, unpack the horrifying details around the Carousel of Progress. Walt Disney's own 1964 World's Fair gem that has spun tales of technological wonder for over 60 years, is getting its first major "upgrade" in three decades. Imagineering's track record of butchering icons (remember the Splash Mountain purge or the Tiki Room's endless glitches?), the eerie concept art of Walt in his blue sweater spouting pre-recorded optimism, and whispers of even bigger changes to the finale, like slapping in AI smart homes and VR gimmicks, that could turn this nostalgic rotary theater into a dated tech demo faster than you can say "great big beautiful tomorrow." 60 Minutes.
In this episode of Personally Speaking, Msgr. Jim Lisante is joined by Tony nominated actor Michael Hayden. Michael made his Broadway debut in the role of “Billy” in the 1994 Broadway revival of “Carousel”. He's currently starring in Irish Repertory Theatre's New York premiere of “The Honey Trap”.

Summary In this episode, Shelby and Courtney dive into a variety of topics, starting with their love for coffee and seasonal drinks, particularly the Starbucks Pecan Crunch Oat Milk Latte (#sponsorus). They then transition to discussing the recent Destination D23 event in Orlando, and the latest Disney news, including a humorous encounter with pod listeners at Epcot. The conversation shifts to the emotional challenges of parenting, particularly the first week of daycare for Shelby's son, and wraps up with a discussion on the importance of to-do lists and organization in daily life. In this episode, the hosts discuss various updates and insights related to Disney theme parks, including the Tron ride experience, the collaboration of Nine Inch Nails with Disney, the introduction of a Walt Disney animatronic in the Carousel of Progress, and the upcoming Villains Land. They also delve into the repainting of Cinderella Castle, reflecting on the legacy of Walt Disney and the importance of maintaining the integrity of Disney attractions. Takeaways Coffee preferences - decaf, full caf, seasonal, or standard? D23 events often yield mixed results in news. Meeting listeners unexpectedly can be a surreal experience. The emotional challenges of parenting are universal. To-do lists can help manage overwhelming tasks. Seasonal drinks can evoke strong opinions. Parenting transitions can be bittersweet. Organization can lead to a sense of accomplishment. Unexpected encounters can create lasting memories. Disney news can be both exciting and disappointing. The Tron ride experience has immersive visuals and sounds. Theme park delays can affect guest experiences. Nine Inch Nails has collaborated with Disney before. Animatronics are a significant part of theme park attractions. Walt Disney's legacy is being honored in new attractions. Villains Land is generating excitement but lacks detailed updates. Cinderella Castle is getting repainted to its original colors. The repainting of the castle raises questions about its execution. The hosts reflect on the importance of Disney's history.
Send us a textWhat would happen if you were forced to choose between your favorite Disney attractions, permanently eliminating one while keeping the other? That's the challenging premise behind our "Ride or Die" game, where we confront impossible choices that reveal what truly matters in our Disney park experiences.Over a Barrels of Blaze cocktail from Beacon Barrel (Jack Daniels bourbon, honey, lemon, and chili), we dive into agonizing decisions across three categories: shows, snacks, and rides. The results surprise even us, as longtime Disney preferences are questioned when put in direct competition with other beloved experiences.When forced to choose between Country Bear Jamboree and Carousel of Progress, or Fantasmic and Mickey's PhilharMagic, we discover how storytelling, nostalgia, and rewatch value shape our show preferences. Our snack selections pit iconic Dole Whip against Mickey pretzels, churros against School Bread, and expose how sensory experiences like the smell of popcorn influence our park memories.The most revealing choices come with ride comparisons. Would you sacrifice Expedition Everest to save Tiana's Bayou Adventure? Is Rise of the Resistance worth losing Kilimanjaro Safaris forever? We weigh factors like thrills versus storytelling, queue experiences, ride length, and even seating comfort in making these painful decisions. The final showdown between Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad forces us to choose between Disney's most innovative new experience and a nostalgic classic.Through these challenging hypotheticals, we discover what truly defines our personal Disney experiences. Whether you prioritize nostalgia, thrills, immersive storytelling, or something else entirely, this episode will have you questioning which attractions you'd fight to preserve if forced to make the ultimate Disney sacrifice.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Here come the lights, the laughter… and the dread. “Fairground Frights” is a bumper-pack of seven horror stories from Weekly Spooky that turns the carnival midway into a gauntlet of cursed curios, vengeful spirits, and wishes you'll regret the second you make them.

Beat an unbeatable arcade cabinet that might be playing you. Get lost in a mansion's velvet-dark corridors, run afoul of a man named Jerry who won't stay down, bargain with a devil you didn't mean to summon, and tour a museum of artifacts that should never be cataloged.If you love horror anthologies, creepy clowns, haunted attractions, cursed objects, and theme-park terror, this episode's for you.

From garage band beginnings to arena-filling superstars, Blink-182's three-decade journey through pop-punk represents one of music's most fascinating evolutions. Matt and Sam dive deep into the band's remarkable transformation through twelve carefully selected tracks that showcase their musical growth, shifting themes, and enduring cultural impact.Sam guides us through Blink-182's history, starting with their raw, energetic origins on tracks like "Carousel" from their 1994 debut, through their commercial breakthrough with "Dammit," and into their experimental phase with darker sounds on their self-titled album. Along the way, we explore how the trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker (who replaced original drummer Scott Raynor) created a signature sound that balanced juvenile humor with surprising emotional depth on songs like "Adam's Song."The episode doesn't shy away from the band's complexities – their lineup changes when Tom departed and Matt Skiba joined, their extended breaks between albums, and their triumphant 2023 reunion following Mark's cancer battle. Throughout it all, one thing remains constant: Blink-182's uncanny ability to create music that resonates with universal experiences of growing up, relationships, and confronting mortality, all delivered with an infectious energy that defined a generation of pop-punk.Follow us @superawesomemix on Instagram, Threads, and YouTube to share your favorite Blink-182 memories and the songs you think should have made our list!https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-intro-to-blink-182/pl.u-m61GDIBrKvaJ1.

The Carousel is an episodic narrative podcast with sci-fi, fantasy and dystopia elements, set far enough into the future, space expansion is the norm, following a lonely worker, who uses powers he gains from an ancient carousel to fight against the corporate entity he once worked for. Episode 1: On a routine run for The Commission, Akhos, a Collections Specialist, stumbles upon an abandoned amusement park that has more to offer than he thinks. THE CAROUSELOn a desolate planet, Collections Specialist Akhos gains great powers from an ancient carousel, consequently stumbling upon a burgeoning revolution, led by The Obstructionists, against the corporate entity, The Commission, he once worked for. With his AI, Lassa and his new found powers to help his journey, Akhos fights horrific monsters with The Obstructionists after seeing they are helmed by a fellow Commission worker, Klaus. The series almost mirrors the style of a Greek Tragedy, told with the help of the Narrator, who just might have her own stake in the story told. Season One follows Akhos throughout his journey of gaining powers, joining The Obstructionists to fight against The Commission draining planets with The Machine, a mysterious device that gives the company its power, and learning why they inflict so much horror on the universe.Website: https://thenormies.com/the-carousel/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/thenormies/homeFourthwall: https://the-normies-shop.fourthwall.com/supportersYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbv2OBLeYiYe7B6WgPDnLowThe Carousel YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbZ4CA8my7fSq6f-dBVihCKT48ZrzNw7tSocials: Instagram - the_normies X - The_Normies TikTok - thenormies Hosted on Acast.
