This week, we're going to be looking at the Twilight Zone episode “The Man in the Bottle.” Arthur and Edna Castle own a respectable antique shop; however, business has not been booming, so when they are suddenly face-to-face with the opportunity to put in a few wishes, we can certainly understand why they give it a go. However, as is sometimes the case in life, things do not seem go as planned. As the old saying goes: be careful what you wish for; you might end up with a funny little mustache. Okay, that last part might not be part of the usual saying, but it is a part of the Twilight Zone. In this episode of KOI, we're going to take a close look at our magical friend and see if he is truly playing it straight with the Castles; we'll take a look at what Arthur seems to really desire; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, which I hope will make you laugh, or at least think about laughing some more. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.

We are Celebrating 5 years! We welcome the legendary Dr. Jacques Vallée, a pioneering computer scientist, astronomer, and one of the most respected figures in UAP research. In this 2-hour-plus conversation, hosts Michael Glawson, Katie Paige, and Jason Guillemette dive into Vallée's illustrious career, exploring his investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena and his unique perspectives on the mysteries that continue to captivate the world.Vallée, the inspiration behind the French scientist in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reflects on iconic cases that have shaped his decades-long journey—from his early work mapping Mars for NASA to his development of the first computerized UAP databases for the secretive AAWSAP program. The discussion also spotlights his latest book, Forbidden Science VI: Scattered Castles, the sixth installment of his personal journals (published in 2025 by Anomalist Books), offering an intimate look at his thoughts on UAP events, AI's role in disclosure, and the evolving landscape of the field from 2010 to 2019.With warmth and curiosity, the hosts probe Vallée on cases they're eager to unpack, drawing out rare insights from a man who has spent over six decades bridging science and the unknown. Described by WIRED as a cautious yet visionary explorer of “the phenomenon,” Vallée's blend of rigorous analysis and open-minded inquiry shines through in this unmissable episode.

Joe Mach, CEO of North America at Castles Technology, reveals how this fourth-largest player in payment terminals has captured massive market share while flying under the radar. Their secret? Over 60% of everything they sell doesn't bear their name - it's white-labeled for partners who trust them enough to put their own brands on the technology.Castles' success stems from their deep technical expertise and customer-first approach. Based in Taiwan ("Technology Island"), they innovate faster than legacy providers, delivering not just hardware but comprehensive solutions tailored to specific industry challenges. Their movement from basic terminal management to true Mobile Device Management capabilities enables remote troubleshooting, geofencing for security, and even AI-powered predictive maintenance.Looking forward, Mach identifies three transformative trends: the rising influence of specialized software vendors, seamless integration of AI with payments, and the emergence of SoftPOS technologies on consumer devices. These innovations address the expectations of younger consumers who simply won't tolerate friction in their shopping experiences.As an "accidental CEO" who rose through sales and commercial roles, Mach's leadership philosophy centers on growth - not just for shareholders, but as a vehicle to create opportunities for employees. Listen now to discover how Castles Technology is transforming the payment landscape for merchants of all sizes.

Welcome to Tønsberg! Tønsberg is Norway's oldest city. Tønsberg is best known for its annual music festival—Slottsfjell, Castle Rock Tower—Slottsfjelltårnet, and its Viking origins.  More recently, Tønsberg's inhabitants have discovered Podcasting. They have more podcasts per capita than Norway's capital, OSLO! Imagine that! This episode highlights the following three pods from the hundreds available on the Tønsberg Podcast Network: Braids & Beards: Hosted by Sven and Sandy Percy. Their marriage may be on the rocks, but their knowledge of seasonal braids and artificial beards is second to none! Who Needs Ikea Anyway: Hosted by Braun Holtzmann and Phil. Braun may have a method to his madness, but dropping Phil in Ikea with only 15 minutes to escape does seem cruel. Valhalla: Blissfully married couple, Astrid and Bjorn Olsen share control and instruct listeners on incorporating "olde-world Viking traditions" into the modern-day home. Sponsors include Oseberg Ship Experiences, Marvel Locations Tours, Do We Have a Match, Tønsberg Ikea, Slottsfjell, Sir Anthony Hopkins Vertshus, Magnus' Diner, Viking Funerals, Olsen Jams, Horny Cups, Pickles, and a few others... you know who you are!

We're going medieval this week to rectify some misconceptions about castles. Despite what many believe and what's put out there in fairy tales, castles are a very specific thing built in a specific time and place for a specific purpose. We'll examine the medieval period (AKA the middle ages or the dark ages) in Europe to better understand why and how castles were built and what they were used for. We'll also unpack the story of lesser known heroine, Nicola de la Haye, who defied gender norms to defend England's Lincoln Castle against invaders on more than one occasion, successfully withstanding siege after siege. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: How Stuff Works "How Castles Work"History.com "Middle Ages"Wikipedia "Castles"Road Trips Around the World "Why Are There So Many Castles in Europe?"History in the Margins "From the Archives: a Woman's Home Is Her Castle"Catherine Hanley "Nicola de la Haye"Summoning Magna Carta "Who Was King John?"Royal UK "Royal Residences: Windsor Castle"Historic Royal Palaces "The Story of the Tower of London"Shoot me a message!

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Castles are amazing places. Thought of in fantasy, but also existing in our own reality. Run down and forgotten castles hold untold mysteries and possibilities of adventure. But, maybe they hide other things…In this instance, some very…adventurous explorers check out this castle for…reasons. They are successful in their mission (to the detriment of us all), but decide to investigate the lower levels.Hiding in the depths of the castle is a dungeon. But of course, this is no ordinary dungeon. At first, it just seems abandoned, but it seems to seek out certainly guilty parties and punish them as it sees fit.Who are these explorers? Why are they in this castle? What is up with this anomalous dungeon? How good is Dennis' Mr. Rogers impression? Tune in and find out!We now have a PO Box! Wanna send us something?

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!This episode takes us on a journey through grand castles and mystical kingdoms as we dive into the majestic world of Top 5 Palaces, the breathtaking fantasy epic Princess Mononoke, and the delightful children's series Sofia the First.Palaces in film aren't just settings—they're symbols of power, magic, and intrigue. Whether steeped in history or conjured from fantasy, these cinematic castles and palaces have left a lasting impression on audiences.1. The Imperial Palace – The Last Emperor (1987)The Forbidden City in Beijing serves as the breathtaking backdrop for Bernardo Bertolucci's historical masterpiece. Its grandeur reflects the isolation and opulence of the young emperor's life. 2. Hogwarts – Harry Potter Series (2001-2011)A magical castle rather than a traditional palace, but let's be honest—Hogwarts is as grand and majestic as any royal residence.3. The Grand Budapest Hotel – The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)Though fictional, its lavish design and color palette make it one of the most memorable cinematic palaces. (Ed: is it though?)4. The Castle in the Sky – Castle in the Sky (1986)Studio Ghibli's floating fortress, Laputa, is an awe-inspiring mix of magic, history, and mystery. It serves as both a relic of the past and a symbol of lost power, perfectly embodying the themes of the film.5. The Palace of Agrabah – Aladdin (1992 & 2019)Disney's shimmering golden palace, home to the Sultan and Princess Jasmine, captures the magic and adventure of the Arabian Nights. Its lavish domes and sprawling gardens make it one of the most iconic palaces in animation.Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke is an epic that blends mythology, environmental themes, and breathtaking animation into a powerful tale of conflict and coexistence.The story follows Ashitaka, a young prince cursed by a demon after defending his village. Seeking a cure, he embarks on a journey that leads him to a battle between humans, led by the ambitious Lady Eboshi, and the spirits of the forest, including the fierce warrior Princess Mononoke (San).While darker and more mature than some of Ghibli's other films, Princess Mononoke is a masterpiece that older kids and adults can appreciate for its depth and emotional weight.For younger viewers, Sofia the First offers a charming introduction to the world of princesses and magic, wrapped in fun adventures and valuable life lessons.Sofia, an ordinary girl, becomes royalty overnight when her mother marries the king. As she navigates palace life, she learns about kindness, responsibility, and courage—often with the help of magical amulets and familiar Disney princesses.From grand palaces to mystical forests, this episode celebrates the magic and wonder of cinema's most enchanting worlds. So grab your crown, saddle up your wolf, and join us for a royal adventure!

This week is a double-header! First we talk about Doomlings: The Imaginary Ends expansion box.

If you like tile-placement games like Castles of Burgundy, Patchwork, Barenpark, or World Wonders, you won't want to miss this game! Special thanks to Doomlings for reaching out to us and offering us this product to review and to David Gledhill and Slo-Mo for allowing us to use their song "Boy From the City."

The narrative resumes with a show in Namur, Belgium, at an unlikely venue that was a converted cable car station atop a hill.  Despite unexpected lighting challenges and volume limits, the band had a good show and won over many new fans.  From there, Night Demon proceeded to their first-ever gig in Bochum, Germany, playing a corner stage in a packed upstairs room.  You will learn why the guys do not like playing corner stages and how this contributed to a painful onstage mishap for Jarvis.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.
