We find Sebastian in the Chantry talking to Grand Cleric Elthina. Despite killing Flit Company mercenaries, there is more to be done for the prince of Starkhaven. He has discovered that his family's allies, the Harimanns are responsible for the murder of his family. He doesn't want to provoke a war, but it isn't the best idea for the sole heir to walk into enemy territory alone. Thankfully Hawke is the kind of person who gets voluntold into things and will help Sebastian whether they like it or not. Upon entering the estate, Sebastian comments that something isn't right–which is proven as we encounter each member of the household. Drunk, mad, and sex crazed, no one of the house even registers our presence until we attempt to press further into the expansion underground. After some demon confrontations, we continue into the underground ruins where shades, rage demons, skeletons, and revenants all try to slow us down. At the end, we find Lady Harimann kneeling before a desire demon demanding more power. Can the desire demon persuade us to her side? Is Sebastian truly as altruistic as he believes? Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Miracle of Sound for the song Age Of The  Dragon, which we use as our theme music. You can find the show on Instagram and Bluesky!!

In this captivating episode, Dan Biggar and Daniel Ross sit down with cricket legend Sir Alastair Cook for an intimate conversation about his remarkable career and life beyond the boundary.England's second-highest Test run-scorer opens up about his unconventional journey from choir boy to cricket captain, revealing how his early musical training helped him perform under pressure. Cook shares fascinating insights into the psychology of batting, describing his battle with "the gimp on my shoulder" and how accepting rather than fighting his mental demons transformed his game in 2010.The conversation delves into Cook's extraordinary resilience, highlighted by his record 159 consecutive Test matches and marathon innings of 836 minutes in Abu Dhabi. With refreshing honesty, he discusses the challenges of opening batting ("you need some kind of mental madness"), the psychology behind batting collapses, and the delicate art of slip-catching.Cook reflects candidly on leadership, describing how captaining close friends like Anderson, Broad and Swann led to productive conflicts that ultimately strengthened the team. He offers a thoughtful perspective on managing maverick talents like Kevin Pietersen, acknowledging that with hindsight, he might have approached certain situations differently.The episode concludes with Cook discussing his transition from international cricket to county cricket with Essex and eventually to farm life. He shares wisdom about accepting that nothing can replace the unique camaraderie of elite sport while finding fulfilment in new challenges.With humor, humility and remarkable self-awareness, Cook provides a masterclass in mental fortitude and leadership that transcends cricket. Whether you're a dedicated cricket fan or simply interested in the psychology of high performance, this episode offers invaluable insights from one of England's greatest sporting minds.Key moments:Cook's journey from choir boy to cricket captainThe mental breakthrough that transformed his batting in 2010The psychology behind batting for 14 hours straightLeadership lessons from captaining friends and mavericksFinding purpose and happiness beyond professional sportToday's podcast is brought to you in partnership with The Events Room.

This interview was recorded on September 20, 1994 with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff while on tour for the Kinky Friedman mystery, “Armadillos and Old Lace.” In the interview he talks about the death of country music, his view of the people of Texas, and how he became a novelist. Digitized, remastered and edited in September 2024 by Richard Wolinsky, this interview has not been heard in over twenty years. Complete Interview.   David Grann David Grann, whose latest book is “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded June 14, 2023 at Book Passage bookstore in Corte Madera, California. David Grann is a long-time staff writer for The New Yorker. Earlier books include Killers of the Flower Moon, soon to be a film directed by Martin Scorsese, The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, a collection of essays, and The Lost City of Z. The Wager tells the story of the HMS Wager, one of a handful of British ships sent around Cape Horn to harass the Spanish fleet in the Pacific, which went aground near the Strait of Magellan, and of the crew members who survived (and didn't) during the following year, and of the aftermath back in England. In the interview, David Grann also discusses the origins of Killers of the Flower Moon, and the relationship between all three of his books. Photos: Richard Wolinsky.

We had a surreal conversation with the legendary Austin Pendleton. Austin's credits would never fit in a caption. He's been in over 250 movies and worked with Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Elia Kazan. His recent Broadway credits include acting in Choir Boy in 2016 and The Minutes in 2022, and directing Between Riverside and Crazy, also in 2022. We talked Williamstown, receiving reviews bad enough to make you quit acting, mic dropping acting advice, and stories from the short lived Lincoln Center Repertory Theater (headed by Elia Kazan). Oh. Austin saw Adult Film's production of the Seagull, and Ryan offers him a role in AF's production of The Cherry Orchard.

A renowned choreographer, director, and educator, Camille A. Brown gives us a rundown of her artistic journey and the challenges and triumphs she faced in the world of dance and theatre. She looks back on her early experiences and influences, particularly her introduction to dance through her mother. From concert dance to musical theatre, she reveals how she got the courage to pursue her passion despite facing skepticism and stereotypes as a black female choreographer in a field dominated by males, including reaching out to mentors like Diane McIntyre and Marlee Ciorri for guidance. Camille's Broadway directorial debut with “for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow Is enuf” was a success, earning her Tony nominations for Best Direction and Best Choreography. She shares her emotional journey working on a beloved work and the value of staying true to your artistic vision. Her latest project, "Hell's Kitchen: The Musical" opens up new challenges and opportunities for Camille, such as her approach to the choreography and working with Alicia Keys' music. With her continuous success, she imparts simple but valuable advice to aspiring artists: to believe in the possibility of all things. Camille A. Brown is a widely acclaimed choreographer, director, educator, and storyteller. She has a total of 62 award honors to her credit so far, including three Tony Award nominations. Her 2016 TED-Ed talk, “Camille A. Brown: A Visual History of Social Dance in 25 Moves” was chosen as one of the most notable talks of the year by TED curator Chris Anderson. Her Broadway credits include “A Streetcar Named Desire”, “Once On This Island”, “Choir Boy”, “for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf”, and now, the upcoming production of “Hell's Kitchen: The Musical”.

Because it's impossible to make it through an episode without discussing leaning, Mike, Paul, and Colleen hit it from two sides this month. A debate about inoperative equipment, and why mechanics reach for the pressurization cart first. Submit your questions to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Full notes below: Jay flies a Lycoming IO-540 on an experimental with one cylinder that peaks long before the others. He's tried everything, including switching injectors. Mike suggests checking the valve lift to make sure the action is as good as the other cylinders. Paul suggests an in-flight manifold leak test to show things that can't be duplicated on the ground. It works like this: Climb to 5,000 or 6,000 feet where the full power setting is the same as ambient pressure, stay at full rich on the mixture and let the EGTs stabilize. Then lower the manifold pressure by 7 or 8 inches and watch what happens to the EGTs. If one goes up while the others go down, or vice versa, it shows a leak in the induction system. Gary is a CFI who wonders about strain on a constant-speed propeller during power-off landing practice. With the engine at idle the hosts think it's fine to pull the propeller back during gliding. Since his first question was so quick, Mike, Paul, and Colleen decided to give him another, and here Gary wonders if leaning to peak EGT is acceptable to the engine. We know leaning to 50 degrees rich is detrimental to engines, and we know lean of peak is safe if done properly, but little is said about running at peak. Given his comfortable CHTs, Mike said running at peak EGT is totally fine. And Paul said he ran at peak EGT for years in his Piper Twin Comanche with no issues. Eric wonders what triggers an overhaul and asks what happens once you go past TBO. Close condition monitoring is essential, says Mike. The two biggest tools are an oil filter inspection for the bottom end, and borescope for the top end. Oil analysis is also helpful, but Mike said the filter inspection is more important. Paul suggests making sure owners speak to their mechanic first to ensure they'll sign off the airplane if the engine is past TBO. Although there doesn't appear to be any legal basis to do so, some mechanics refuse to sign off an annual if the engine is past TBO. Scott wondered about inoperative equipment and how to decide if it's ok to fly. Mike points to FAR 91.213D. Because it's in Part 91 it applies to everyone, regardless of aircraft. It includes a logic flow that details how to deal with inoperative equipment. In order to fly with inop equipment it must not have been required for aircraft certification, in Part 91.205, on the aircraft's mandatory equipment list, or be a hazard to fly without it. Toby has a Cessna 414 and has struggled with pressurization over the years, and he asks if his troubleshooting flow works well. He's a little frustrated because most mechanics first hook up the pressurization cart, even though in his experience the test usually doesn't show much. Mike said the cart is used to test the outflow side of the pressurization system because it bypasses the inflow system. Twin Cessnas have a very convoluted inflow side, where tons of things can go wrong. One reason to go straight to the cart is because troubleshooting the inflow side requires digging, Paul said. Troubleshooting mindset also matters. A slow-evolving problem is different than a sudden issue, for example.
