Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So the other night I was deep into my usual bedtime routine of doomscrolling, and I stumbled across this headline that said: “DID YOU KNOW: The Last Witch Trial Was in 1944.” And I was like… I'm sorry, what? 1944? Like while the rest of the world was fighting Nazis, someone was in a courtroom yelling, “She's a WITCH”? Be for real. That sent me down one of the craziest rabbit holes yet. And I quickly realized… wow. Everything I thought I knew about witch trials… Changed. Forever. Not only was witchcraft something you could go to court for less than a hundred years ago, but the *FIRST* witch in America wasn't even in Salem! The first witch trial in America happened DECADES before Salem! Yeah. So turns out, witches never really went out of style. And it all started way before you think. So I'm here to set the record straight on the witches no one talks about. Welcome to the dark history of Witches Who Got Away. ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

An exploration of one of marketing AI's hottest trends with Katherin Watier Ong In this episode of No Brainer, Geoff and Greg dive deep into the evolving landscape of search engine optimization with Katherine Watier Ong, founder of WO Strategies. Katherine brings her 10+ years of experience helping science-based organizations navigate the complexities of modern search—from traditional SEO to the emerging world of AI-powered answers. The conversation explores the hype surrounding Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), with Katherine providing a refreshingly grounded perspective that it's still fundamentally SEO at its core. She shares practical insights on how to optimize for Google's AI Overviews and discusses why the fundamentals haven't changed as much as the industry buzz might suggest. Katherine reveals compelling data showing that while AI-powered search features are getting attention, they currently represent only about 1-3% of actual traffic for most organizations. She emphasizes that brands should focus on solid SEO foundations before chasing the latest AI optimization trends. The discussion also covers the broader challenges facing marketers today, including the rise of zero-click searches, degraded marketing data from GA4, and the increasing difficulty of measurement in a privacy-first world. Chapters · 06:00 AEO vs GEO: Marketing Hype or Real Distinction? · 11:34 What Still Matters: SEO Fundamentals That Haven't Changed · 15:15 The Real Changes: Zero-Click Searches and Data Challenges · 21:20 AI Integration in SEO Workflows · 28:50 The Misinformation Problem with AI Answers · 34:15 User Embeddings and Personalization Bubble Effects · 39:30 Beyond Brand Control: Why Reddit Matters More Than Press Releases · 44:10 Measuring Success in the Age of AI Search About Katherine Watier Ong Katherine Watier Ong is the founder and CEO of WO Strategies, a boutique organic traffic consultancy specializing in science-based, enterprise-sized organizations.

Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer BrillSpencer Brill is an indie alternative singer songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. He's a baker, he's a community builder, and a lover of all things music.I'm a singer songwriter born in NYC, but grew up in way upstate NY near Canada - had a band in high school, played shows in upstate NY in the Adirondacks. Moved back to NYC as an adult in 2012. Lived in Brooklyn, had a love/hate relationship with NYC and was struggling. I decided to start a baking business (a coconut macaroon company) in Brooklyn, launched into holiday markets and ecommerce and sold 50,000+ macaroons in 7 weeks. The woman who would be my wife came through as a customer at the holiday market, took my card, looked me up and we've been married for 7 years. Before that I was in a relationship with someone who wasn't supportive of music making, so I took a pause for a few years. 2020 - I was hospitalized for a week with Covid. Changed my perspective on life, and how short it can be. Watched some horrible things occur in the hospital room with me. I survived, dove into music production and learning to take songwriting/production seriously. I released songs, built a killer band in NYC, and have played all over the city. 2 years later, doctors found a benign golf-ball sized tumor in my lower spine. Got half of it removed, and after facing death again, I put even more energy into the things I love and the passion I have for other people, making art that moves people, and building community. I was at a songwriting retreat recently in Dublin Ireland that gave me incredible clarity on what I wanted to pursue. I love talking music, songwriting, baking, NYC, and can wax poetic about most topics. I offer a perspective of a survivor of a few close calls and the joy of art making and the self-reflection that those two encompass.Link:https://spencerbrill.com/https://www.instagram.com/spencerbrillmusicTags:Artist,Live Music,Music,Musician,Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer Brill,Live Video Podcast Interview,Podcast,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,PodmatchSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page
Have you ever stopped to think about how your morning cappuccino came to be? From the coffee bush that yielded the beans, to the grass for the cattle – or perhaps the soya – that produced the milk, plants are an indispensable part of our everyday life. Beginning with some of the earliest uses of plants, in 50 Plants that Changed the World (Bodleian, 2025) Dr. Stephen Harris takes us on an exciting journey through history, identifying fifty plants that have been key to the development of the western world, discussing trade, imperialism, politics, medicine, travel and chemistry along the way. There are plants here that have changed landscapes, fomented wars and fuelled slavery. Others have been the trigger for technological advances, expanded medical knowledge or simply made our lives more pleasant. Plants have provided paper and ink, chemicals that could kill or cure, vital sustenance and stimulants. Some, such as barley, have been staples from earliest times; others, such as oil palm, are newcomers to western industry. We remain dependent on plants for our food, our fuel and our medicines. As the wide-ranging and engaging stories in this beautifully illustrated book demonstrate, their effects on our lives continue to be profound and often unpredictable. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In an extended version of the programme that was broadcast, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the influential book John Maynard Keynes wrote in 1919 after he resigned in protest from his role at the Paris Peace Conference. There the victors of World War One were deciding the fate of the defeated, especially Germany and Austria-Hungary, and Keynes wanted the world to know his view that the economic consequences would be disastrous for all. Soon Germany used his book to support their claim that the Treaty was grossly unfair, a sentiment that fed into British appeasement in the 1930s and has since prompted debate over whether Keynes had only warned of disaster or somehow contributed to it.

Romans 6:20-21 — Why should the Christian live a holy and righteous life? Paul gives an argument and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones encourages the listener to reason through it. Paul reminds the reader of the state and condition of their old life when they used to be slaves to sin and since one cannot serve two masters, they were not yet slaves to righteousness. In this sermon from Romans 6:20–21 titled “Changed from Glory into Glory,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out there are some people in this world that act moral but are not true Christians. The unsaved are governed by self and a Christian is governed by righteousness. Those who are slaves of sin and not of righteousness lead a fruitless and shameful life. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages the listener to ask themselves three questions to test if something is from the old life or the new life in Christ: Does it give satisfaction to the mind and heart? Does it help growth in fruit and knowledge? Does it help one lay in store for the future? If no is answered to any of these questions, that lifestyle may be leading down a path to eternal separation from God.

Tucked between the assurance of Romans 8 and the practical guidance of Romans 12-16 lies what Pastor Taylor calls "the monster in the middle" – the challenging theological territory of Romans 9-11. But far from something to fear, these chapters contain profound truths about God's mercy and our mission.The sermon begins with a powerful contrast: how can Paul transition from the triumphant declarations of Romans 8 to expressing "great sorrow and unceasing anguish" in Romans 9? The answer reveals the heart of true salvation – when we genuinely experience God's grace, we become burdened for those who haven't.Through a recent baptism story, Pastor Taylor illustrates the difference between inherited religion and personal faith. Skip didn't receive salvation merely by being born into a Christian family; he reached a point where faith became truly his own. This perfectly parallels Paul's message that being physically descended from Abraham isn't enough – one must be spiritually connected through faith.The most compelling moment comes through a thought-provoking analogy: Imagine having a coupon that could instantly pay off someone's mortgage but being too afraid to share it because you might explain it poorly, face difficult questions, or offend them. How absurd! Yet we often withhold the infinitely more valuable gospel for these very reasons."I love the gospel articulated poorly more than anything else articulated well," Pastor Taylor declares, challenging us to overcome our hesitation in sharing Christ. The sermon concludes with a practical challenge: identify one specific person in your life who needs Jesus, pray for an opportunity to share, and when that opportunity comes, set aside your fears and trust the Holy Spirit.Changed lives desire to see changed lives. Changed lives understand that only God's mercy changes lives. And changed lives boldly proclaim the truth that changes lives. Who is that person God has positioned you to reach?

Three years before the first episode of SNL. Four years before the first episode of SCTV. Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner. Andrea Martin and later Dave Thomas, co-starred in a legendary production of a musical called Godspell at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.The show that launched the careers of a whole generation of comedians is now the subject of a new doc at TIFF. Appropriately titled, You Had to Be There: How The Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love and Overalls, and Created a Community that Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way).Today we speak with someone who had a front row seat to it all. Paul Shaffer, of Letterman fame, but who back in the days of Godspell was just a kid from Thunder Bay gigging in strip clubs on Younge Street. That is, until he landed the job of musical director for the play that would change the comedy world as we know it.Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Reported by Ilana GordonFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:You Had to Be There at TIFFYou Had To Be There - IMDBYou Had To Be There - TrailerSponsors: Squarespace: Check out Squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Back in therapy & I don't know how I feel. Changed careers, newly single & unstable - but ready to figure myself out. Sometimes you need to be knocked down a few pegs to figure yourself out. I believe the ups & downs really have a purpose & I want to nurture this version of myself. Much love to anyone who is still figuring life out. It's not easy & fully feels like you're failing, but, you're not. You're living life's challenges & it's hard to weather the storm when you're hanging on by a thread.

How can leaders develop winning strategy by solving competition-based problems? In this episode, Rich sits down with Martin Reeves — chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, prolific business strategist, and co-author of books like The Imagination Machine, Your Strategy Needs a Strategy, and his recently published work, Like: The Button that Changed the World. Martin shares why great strategies often require reframing the real problem, how leaders can deploy collective imagination, and why strategic advantage is always a moving target. He also explores the rare but essential trait of ambidexterity — being able to exploit what works while continuing to explore what's next — and outlines why in today's fast-changing world, strategy must evolve from a plan to a practice.
We are in the middle of a series called Transformation. Jesus did not go through all that He went through on this earth, so we could stay exactly the same as we were before He found us. Jesus paid the price not just for us to be saved but for us to be changed. So far, we have talked about the dual realities of salvation — the spiritual reality and visible reality — and the need to surrender ourselves to the process of transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. This week, we’re continuing the conversation and focusing on what it means to start with love. Maybe you’re beginning to believe there is a sliver of hope, but you don’t know where to start. Start where Jesus did with Peter: start with love. Forget about the habits you still have in your life, the mistakes and the failures. Repent and ask God for forgiveness, but when it comes to moving forward and being changed, we need to learn the value of starting with love.

Whitney speaks directly to estranged parents from her experience working with hundreds of adult children who have cut contact with their families. She addresses common arguments from parents like "I have no idea why this happened," "I did the best I could," and "my children are remembering it wrong."

Chris Russell Sticks With the Program Jason La Confora of Audacy Sports Thinks The Terry Situation Hasn't Changed
She did everything right. She kept the records. Filed the reports. Changed her routines. But none of it mattered. Because the man tormenting her stayed just outside the rules. A case where psychological terror was real, constant, and intentional- and yet, legally invisible. In episode 364, Jac and Lex unravel how stalking can become a form of slow-motion violence. How the system waits for blood before it acts. And how, sometimes, the most dangerous threats are the ones hiding in plain sight, waiting, watching, and never quite crossing the line.

Natalie is joined by Professors Islam Issa and Edith Hall to tell the story of the great library of Alexandria. It was included in Alexander the Great's original design for his city, located in the Nile Delta. Alexandria was to be a city of knowledge. The founders of the library were ambitious: they wanted nothing less than to collect all the books in the world. They were willing to pay huge sums, but they were also ruthless and unscrupulous. The Ptolemies would write to fellow rulers and wealthy friends and ask to borrow their priceless texts. Then the library would copy the scrolls, and return the copies. Or alternatively they'd just steal them. Handily, papyrus, the principal reading material of the era, grew in great abundance around Alexandria. So there was plenty of it for those copies. Less fortunately, it's extremely flammable. So in 48 BCE, when Julius Caesar's besieged army set fire to ships in the harbour in order to block the invading fleet, the fire spread and destroyed a significant part of the library.'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of 'Divine Might', 'Stone Blind', and 'A Thousand Ships' as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greek and Rome.Islam Issa is Professor of Literature and History at Birmingham City University. His book 'Alexandria, the City that Changed the World' is the Winner of the Runciman Award and The Times, Sunday Times, TLS, Booklist, Epoch Times and Waterstones Book of the Year.Edith Hall is Professor of Classics at Durham University, specialising in ancient Greek literature. She has written over thirty books and is a Fellow of the British Academy.Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery
