We are joined by special guest Marianne this week as we discuss “The Last Sam Weiss,” the penultimate episode of both this three-episode arc and of the third season. We share what we love about this episode (especially the acting from various cast members as well as the great character development that we get with Walter) but also discuss our disappointment around the enigma that is the titular Sam Weiss not being fully explained, seeming to be a thread that was ultimately dismissed. We also hear some phenomenal feedback from listeners such as Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), Erin, and ShelkyBean!

We hope that you will stowaway with us on the Fringe train as we discuss this unique episode of Fringe - unique in that Anna Torv is not playing Olivia Dunham or an Olivia Dunham alternate but rather the man behind the curtain himself - William Bell (or Bellivia or Spolive as you prefer). We also finally get to meet the Blueverse version of Lincoln Lee (or Special Agent Hottie as you prefer), and we discuss what we like and maybe don't like as much on rewatch. You'll also hear some great feedback as always from feedbackers like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), Erin, and Patty from Canadia!

Joined by our loyal listener Missnet, we are once again rewinding back to 1985 for this episode as we discuss “Subject 13,” a flashback episode of Fringe that shows us some of the immediate aftermath of the events that we saw unfold in “Peter” last season. We praise Orla Brady's performance and discuss the various threads of the show's mythology that are explored in this episode. We also touch upon some of the inconsistencies that this episode presents but all agree that it's a phenomenal episode nonetheless. We also, of course, hear from wonderful feedbackers such as Anna (not Torv), Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia!

We are joined by Anna (not Torv) for this episode as we discuss Fringe's Valentine's Day episode, “6B”! This is such a great episode that Chris and Darrell feel is even better than we remember it being! Join us and Anna as we discuss some of the interesting parallels between each season's 14th episode so far as well as some of the parallels between Olivia/Peter and Alice/Derek. We touch upon some of the various aspects of this episode that at least one of us had forgotten about - such as how the episode ties directly into “The Ghost Network” from early season 1 and also briefly shifts to the Redverse at the very end. Be sure to stay tuned for some wonderful listener feedback from Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, Matt, and Patty from Canadia!

We finally return to the Redverse for this episode and are joined once again by Mark (who previously joined us for our “Grey Matters” discussion)!

Shapeshifters are back this week, but they have definitely met their match in a nocturnal vigilante none other than Peter Bishop!

Joined by special guest co-host Pavla, we are so excited to be talking about this beautiful, Gothic, Frankenstein-esque horror story of a Fringe episode this week! We discuss some of the episode's best scenes such as Olivia's talk with Broyles when she returns to work, her breakdown in her apartment, and her incredible monologue at the end that should have (but, of course, didn't) earn Anna at least an Emmy nomination if not a win.

We are starting, of course, with the season 3 premiere, simply titled “Olivia,” which shows us the immediate aftermath of the shocking cliffhanger at the end of season 2.

About Chris Weiher: Chris Weiher owns CLEAVER Creative, which produces high-quality videos to get clients' ideas out into the world. They believe that now there is more need than ever to own and understand the value of effective video marketing, and they seek to not only tell the client's story but make sure your audience hears, sees, and feels it. Chris started his career directing and producing short films before founding CLEAVER Creative in 2013. He grew the company by creating animation videos for companies including Accenture, Salesforce, and SAP. In 2019, before the pandemic struck, Chris discovered significant organic traction by creating videos on LinkedIn. Since then, he's been helping businesses develop their video strategies through B2B videos on LinkedIn to grow their brands authentically. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Chris.In this episode, Nancy and Chris discuss the following:The importance of video in the modern sales worldStarting your way in video marketingFirst video creation suggestions The most beneficial places to post videosChris'es recommendations of mixing personal and professional topics to engage viewersWhy should your dress code match the style of ideal clients Key Takeaways: The hardest part for most people is to try and get started.LinkedIn is still the best place to post business-related content and videos.I think where people go wrong with video is they want it to be perfect because we want to be seen as perfect.You must continue to be creative and think of other things, but that can be as easy as just going into your living room and filming a video there: it's not rocket science. "So, a really easy way to get started is to write out 10 FAQs, frequently asked questions, that you receive from your prospective clients. And then 10 questions you don't get asked, but you wish somebody would, you wish someone would say. Well: "Why do I need to be using your service?" That's often a question that people don't come to me with because, by the time we're talking, they know they want to use video, but they don't ask why. And those frequently unasked questions are a good place to start because it gives you a chance to speak your mind about things that people aren't asking you but are very important, and you want to tell them." – CHRIS "I recommend one video a week. There's a lot of folks out there that are in the social media game that are saying you need to have something out every single day. I totally disagree with that. For most people, it will burn out your audience, and they will ignore you. If you are a real B2B company, one video a week is plenty for people to see your face, see you. It's just like going to a networking event. You don't go every day; you go once a month or weekly. And then you want to have some other supplemental material you're also putting out. That could be an article, that could be newsletters, or it could be other kinds of posts to supplement that video. But for some of my clients, they really were doing one, one of my newest clients, he's doing a video a week, and he's already getting referrals from that." – CHRIS"Technology is moving very quickly. That said, the human component will be the hardest thing to replace. And if you can leverage video as a part of your communication strategy, I think that element is never really going to be fully replaced, but it will be supplemented, I think, by AI." – CHRIS Connect with Chris Weiher:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisweiher/CLEAVER-Creative: https://www.cleavercreates.com/Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter:https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website:https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

Join us along with Rachel (whose voice you will likely agree is just awesome) as we discuss the penultimate episode of Fringe's second season! Returning to the main Fringe canon, we find out where Peter went after disappearing at the end of “The Man from the Other Side” - none other than the literal northwest, Washington State! Here he meets Sheriff Ann Mathis (one of the show's best episodic characters played wonderfully by The Goonies' Martha Plimpton) as he helps her investigate a string of murders that feel uncomfortably close to Newton's M.O. Meanwhile, Olivia and Astrid help Walter deal with the aftermath of Peter leaving. Rachel helps us untangle all of the references that this episode has to the classic show Twin Peaks, and we get wonderful feedback from new feedbacker Prati, Eric from Pennsylvania, Patty from Canadia, Rory, Erin, Geoff, and ShelkyBean!

What would it take for you to live the life you truly want? Maybe it's time to stop asking how much money you need to achieve it, or how you're going to get there, and instead, uncover what type of life would excite you most. Joining us today is Rob Murgatroyd, whose life-changing transformations have been years, if not decades, in the making. While the bulk of Rob's career was spent as a chiropractor, his life today could not be further from that reality. Not only has he moved his family from the US to beautiful Florence, Italy, but his TikTok videos on being an American in this food-obsessed country have made him a social media sensation! However, his journey from being a chiropractor to where he is today has not been straightforward or smooth. There is no way he would have reached his destination if he had not been willing to step off the familiar path. Similarly, our conversation today takes many fascinating turns that never would have happened if we had tried to plan it all out. While our conversation kicks off with Rob's first taste of Bourbon, it ends with profound reflections on the nature of creativity, with insights on where it comes from and how you can learn to turn down the noise and listen to the voice within. In between all that Rob shares the many side journeys he had to go on, like traveling, becoming a DJ, and receiving coaching, to uncover the revelatory lessons that would help him shift his mindset and find himself where he is today. Join us for a truly expansive conversation and find out how his wife's fateful words 'I like you better in Italy' prompted his transformative journey, why he decided to use this phrase as the title of his upcoming book, and what ingredients he would use for his cocktail 'la dolce vita', and much more!Key Points From This Episode:Welcoming back today's guest, all the way from Florence, Italy, Rob Murgatroyd.Chris breaks down everything you need to know about drinking bourbon for the first time.Rob tries out his first-ever bourbon drink according to Chris's instructions.The transformations Rob has gone through since he and Chris first met.What Rob gained from chasing what made him feel alive; from traveling to becoming a DJ.The challenge of subtracting what doesn't bring you joy.Rob's experience of trying to leave his chiropractic career behind.His advice to anyone going through a transformation, or gathering the courage to do so.The confluence of influences that helped Rob change his mindset.Answering the question ‘Where does creativity come from?'Learning to turn down the noise and listening to the voice within.Detailing and naming Rob's cocktail, La Dolce Vita!Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Rob Murgatroyd on LinkedInRobMurgatroyd on TikTokRob Murgatroyd on XRob Murgatroyd on InstagramRob Murgatroyd on FacebookThe Next Chapter PodcastChris GoodmanGoodman Coaching ApplicationGoodman Coaching IncGet to know Chris - Connect on Instagram Coach with Chris Learn more about Goodman Coaching

Geoff (xforce11) joins us for this episode to discuss the first of four especially whacky Fringe episodes (of which we would get one each season from here on out). In this one, Walter, deeply troubled after the disappearance of Peter, tells Ella a story in which Olivia is a noir detective investigating the disappearance of Peter after he stole Walter's mechanical heart, except, as Walter tells Ella more than once, things are not quite as they seem. We talk about our thoughts on the short musical numbers, the noir atmosphere, and the many anachronisms. We also hear from listeners like you, including Rachel, Eric from Pennsylvania, Erin, Rory, ShelkyBean, and Damon! Be sure to join us next time when we travel to Washington State to see what Peter is up to and meet one of the show's best episodic characters, Martha Plimpton's Sheriff Mathis! We will be joined by the aforementioned Rachel and would love to hear your thoughts on “Northwest Passage,” so please feel free to reach out to us!   Links Mentioned: The Fringe Podcast Episode 0241 - "Brown Betty" The Fringe Podcast Episode 0242 - Feedback for "Brown Betty" Stream Fringe Theme (Ragtime) by Matthew Martin Fringe Connections - "Brown Betty" YouTube - "Fringe - 'Music of the Macabre'" Fringe Matters - "Fringe - 'Brown Betty' (2.19)" The Fringemunks - "Epis. 2.19: Brown Betty" Fringe Playlist by Chris Connect with Us: Golden Spiral Media Community Portal Golden Spiral Media's Twitter Page The Fringe Podcast Rewatch's Instagram Page Listener Feedback Webpage Join Our Live Show!  

The Man From the Other Side is (at least in correct people's opinions) one of the best episodes of the entire series of Fringe! Something that we had been anticipating for such a long time - the culmination of the secret that Walter has been keeping for so long and it finally being exposed to Peter. In this climactic, pivotal episode (which really, in a lot of ways, leads fairly directly into the incredible two-part season finale in a few episodes), Peter finally inadvertently discovers that he is from the Redverse, and the scene that follows is one of the best acted, most emotional scenes of the entire series, with absolutely top-notch acting from both Josh Jackson and, of course, John Noble! Join us this week as we discuss this amazing episode with longtime member of the Golden Spiral Media community, Cory Metcalfe! We also get some fantastic feedback from listeners - including Geoff (xforce11), Eric from Pennsylvania, Rory, ShelkyBean, and Erin! Next up, we will be discussing “Brown Betty,” Fringe's first of four whacky, out-of-the-box episodes, and the aforementioned Geoff will be on board with us for that! We would love to hear your thoughts about the episode, so please feel free to reach out to us! We would love to include you in the feedback section!

This is another great episode on this roller-coaster of Fringe episodes as we near the incredible season finale! This time, we are returning to the topic of Cortexiphan subjects as we meet a new one - James Heath, and we are joined by Marianne this week as we discuss this episode so obviously inspired by the board game and film Clue! We discuss the references to Clue as well as the amazing performances in this episode, especially from Anna Torv who we all seem to agree is the MVP of this episode. We also share our enthusiasm around Sam Weiss and how happy we are to see him again, while also lamenting that his enigmatic lines in this episode about his origins are never satisfactorily explained. You can also expect to hear incredible feedback from frequent feedbackers Rory, Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! We hope that you will join us not only for this episode but also for the next episode when we discuss the fan favorite episode “White Tulip” with Damon, but until then, feel free to reach out to us with your feedback because we would love to feature you in our feedback segment!

We are so excited to finally be talking about this phenomenal episode of Fringe - the highly anticipated episode in which we finally get the story of how and why Peter was abducted from the Redverse. When last we left our heroes, Olivia's “glimmer” ability kicked in just before she and Peter went on their very first date, leading her to realize that Peter is originally from the Redverse. Walter pleads with Olivia to not tell him, and in this episode (which features a fun, synthy ‘80s rendition of the theme music), we are taken back to 1985 as Walter sits down with Olivia to tell her the story. Just about everything about this episode is perfect. The cinematography makes it seem almost movie-like, and John Noble, Blair Brown, and Orla Brady all give Emmy-worthy performances! Join us as well as returning co-host Michael London of Fringe Connections as we discuss all of that and so much more!

We have finally arrived where Fringe is arguably at its absolute best, a block of episodes that even the showrunners referred to as a “rollercoaster.” Olivia's Cortexiphan ability comes back into play in this episode when she travels to the titular Jacksonville, Florida where the Cortexiphan trials took place. She must confront fear on so many levels, ultimately temporarily saving the day but making a horrifying discovery. We are joined by Danielle (DillyDilly) in this episode and also share amazing feedback from Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, Patty from Canadia, Emily (also known as The Soggy Nacho), and Anna (not Torv)!

This episode is one for the books, as our guests are also the creators of one of the wonderful bourbon-based variations we'll try on the show. Janell and Mike Bass are the founders of Ponyboy Slings, a brand that offers up a new and exciting way to drink whiskey. Their passion for beverages and decades-long experience in the industry made this venture a no-brainer for the dynamic duo, and they've developed innovative techniques for working as a couple that are applicable to all industries. Today, we taste all three of Ponyboy Slings' drinks, starting with their flagship offering the Bourbon Popstar, and working our way through the Derby Cream Soda to end with My Cherry Amour.
