Ever want to turn into a giant octopus just to ruin a pirate's day? Or turn into a squirrel just to steal your party's rations? On this week's RPGBOT.Podcast, we dive into the wild world of Wild Shape, from tactical bear hugs to flying reconnaissance pigeons. Spoilers: size matters, and no, nobody knows how many hit points a badger has without googling it. Old Gods of Appalachia RPG Stream Now on YouTube The wait is over. RPGBOT's full video stream of the Old Gods of Appalachia charity game is now rolling out on YouTube. Head over to the RPGBOT YouTube channel to relive the Appalachian horror, dice rolls, and deeply questionable character decisions in glorious widescreen format. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew unpacks the power and potential of Wild Shape in Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Whether you're playing a Circle of the Moon powerhouse or a nature-loving spellcaster who just wants to turn into a fish when things get rough, the episode explores how to choose the right form in combat, exploration, social encounters, and everything in between. You'll learn which beasts shine at different levels, how damage resistance and hit point pools can change a battle, and when it's better to be utility-focused instead of combat-ready. The discussion also highlights how Wild Shape synergizes with spellcasting, feat choices, and party composition for optimized Druid builds.

Did you know that some rivers can actually change direction? It sounds wild, but it happens when big geological events like earthquakes, landslides, or even massive floods shift the land around them. One major river at risk of this is the Brahmaputra in India—it's a powerhouse of a river, but also a ticking time bomb. Experts say just one strong earthquake could cause it to completely change course, leading to devastating floods and destruction in the region. This is because the river flows through a seismically active area, where the Earth's crust is constantly moving. It's a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable nature can be!

This Day in Legal History: Ratification of the Bill of Rights by New JerseyOn November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights, a landmark moment in American constitutional history. Just months after the U.S. Constitution went into effect, debate over its lack of explicit protections for individual liberties sparked calls for amendments. Responding to this concern, James Madison introduced a series of proposed amendments in the First Congress in June 1789, aiming to ease Anti-Federalist fears and solidify support for the new federal government. Congress approved twelve amendments on September 25, 1789, and sent them to the states for ratification.New Jersey acted swiftly, ratifying eleven of the twelve proposed amendments less than two months later. The state rejected the first proposed amendment, which concerned congressional representation, and accepted the rest, including protections for freedom of speech, religion, the press, the right to bear arms, and safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. New Jersey's early endorsement gave momentum to the broader ratification effort, which required approval by three-fourths of the states.By December 15, 1791, ten of the amendments had been ratified by the necessary eleven states and became known as the Bill of Rights. These provisions would become foundational to American legal doctrine, judicial interpretation, and civil liberties jurisprudence. New Jersey's rapid ratification also signaled the willingness of smaller states to embrace a constitutional framework that better balanced federal power with individual protections.The ratification process itself reflected the structural legal mechanism required to alter the Constitution—Article V mandates both congressional proposal and state approval. This episode demonstrates how early American legal institutions navigated public pressure and political compromise to create durable legal norms. The Bill of Rights remains central to constitutional interpretation today, frequently invoked in court cases involving speech, privacy, and due process.A group of senior judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has recently influenced several rulings on politically sensitive cases, softening the conservative tone of one of the nation's most right-leaning appellate courts. These judges, many appointed decades ago by presidents like Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, were part of three-judge panels that struck down or allowed challenges to laws involving religion in schools, drag shows on campus, and firearm signage. However, these decisions are now set for reconsideration by the court's full active bench in January, as part of a growing trend of en banc rehearings.The Fifth Circuit includes 17 active judges and seven senior judges. While senior judges can still hear cases and author opinions, their influence is ultimately limited because active judges control en banc reviews, which can overturn panel rulings. Most of these upcoming en banc cases saw dissents from Trump-appointed judges at the panel level. Some senior judges, like Edith Brown Clement, are conservative and remain highly active, while others like James Dennis and Patrick Higginbotham are known for their moderate or liberal views and are key voices in current and upcoming decisions.Legal experts say senior judges' experience and moderation often make them more willing to adhere to precedent rather than pursue ideological shifts. Their dissents and opinions can also help signal to the U.S. Supreme Court that a case warrants review. With an increase in ideologically charged cases on topics like immigration and free speech, the Fifth Circuit's internal dynamics reflect a broader national tension between judicial restraint and a more activist, conservative legal agenda.Full Fifth Circuit Overrides Moderate Senior Judges' RulingsThe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has asked a federal court to enforce a subpoena against the University of Pennsylvania as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged antisemitic harassment. The EEOC's request was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and stems from a charge initiated in December 2023 by Republican-appointed Chair Andrea Lucas. The agency is seeking documents and information identifying victims and witnesses to reported religious-based harassment affecting faculty and staff.The investigation centers on claims that the university failed to adequately respond to internal complaints of antisemitism. The EEOC under Lucas—particularly during and after the first Trump administration—has prioritized enforcement actions related to religious discrimination, with higher education institutions facing increased scrutiny. Penn has not yet issued a public response regarding the subpoena or the broader investigation.EEOC Seeks UPenn Information Disclosure in Antisemitism ProbeCryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced that it has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. The move positions Kraken among several digital asset firms seeking to go public amid renewed investor interest in the crypto sector. Other companies like Circle and Gemini have also made progress toward U.S. listings this year.Kraken recently reported a $20 billion valuation in its latest fundraising round, marking a 33% increase over the past two months. While the company did not disclose specific details about the IPO structure or timeline, the filing indicates growing momentum for digital finance firms in public markets.Crypto exchange Kraken confidentially files for US IPO | ReutersThe U.S. government has loaned Constellation Energy $1 billion to restart a nuclear reactor at the former Three Mile Island site in Pennsylvania. The project, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center, involves reviving an 835-megawatt reactor that was shut down in 2019. Constellation entered a partnership with Microsoft in 2024 to help offset the tech company's energy use, especially for power-intensive data centers. The reactor's restart reflects rising energy demand tied to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO) issued the loan to help lower financing costs and encourage private investment. Officials emphasized that nuclear energy offers stable, carbon-free baseload power critical for both grid reliability and climate goals. While Constellation is financially strong enough to obtain private funding, the administration said public support signals a national commitment to clean and dependable energy infrastructure.The plant still needs regulatory approvals, including from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Constellation has already begun hiring workers, inspecting systems, and ordering essential equipment. The company now expects the reactor to come online by 2027, a year ahead of the original timeline due to an accelerated grid connection review.US loans Constellation $1 billion for Three Mile Island reactor reboot | Reuters This is a public episode.

In the gaslit streets of Newfair, our brave circle of investigators faces ancient horrors, uncovering secrets while battling the supernatural. As they strive to protect the fragile veil of reality, listeners are taken on an atmospheric journey through the shadows that cloak their world.  Our circle navigates talents, relationships, and the eerie mysteries of a supernatural tome to collect gear and build trust. Can they maintain discretion and unity while facing the darkness that watches in waiting? As new alliances form and old tensions fade, the investigators are summoned to the Librum Veritas to unravel secrets hidden in the heart of the Briar Green District. With every roll of the dice and strategic alliance, the line between the familiar and the unknown blurs. Stay vigilant, for in the shadows, ancient truths stir. Our first full episode of The Circle of Veritas, our Candela Obscura campaign, is now live! In Session 1, our newly-formed Circle is summoned to the bookshop Librum Veritas and sent into their first case: mysterious deaths in a graveyard, sigils of ash and bleed etched into flesh, and rumors of war-dead walking again… The circle must unravel the truth behind the haunted coin, lost soldiers, and a dark cult on the rise. ✨ Candela Obscura is published by Darrington Press, the imprint of Critical Role, and you can find the core book and quickstart rules at https://darringtonpress.com/candela-obscura. Your support helps us keep the mics on and the mysteries coming—thank you!

“When morality blurs and motives twist, Jeff Circle's Myopic Duplicity dares you to decide which lie you'd tell to save the truth.” Jeff Circle isn't your typical anthology editor. With a background spanning military intelligence, law-enforcement investigations, and global operations, he brings a unique edge to storytelling. As the creator of The Writer's Dossier and curator of razor-sharp suspense, Circle's latest work, Myopic Duplicity, invites readers into the dark grey zones of morality: when desperation, loyalty and ambition collide, what are you willing to do? This collection uncompromisingly asks: Do the ends ever justify the means? Featuring chilling short stories that expose how even the most righteous intentions can twist into betrayal, survival, and deceit, Myopic Duplicity holds up a mirror to our own choices—and the price we're prepared to pay. For fans of high-stakes crime, psychological thrillers, and ethical puzzles, it's a must-read. #florenzalee #OntheAirwithFlorenza #MyopicDuplicity #JeffCircle #CrimeFiction #ThrillerReads #ShortStoryAnthology #MoralAmbiguity #SuspenseLovers #AmReading #BookLaunch #EditorReads

Steve Palmer and Troy Hendrickson jump right into the crazy buzz we've seen on TikTok after their chat about police body cam footage. Turns out, the internet had a LOT to say—everything from questioning why cops turn off their cameras, to jokingly (or maybe not so jokingly) suggesting lawyers should have to wear body cams, too.Steve and Troy read through some of the most interesting and heated comments, talk about the realities of being a cop (and a lawyer), and spill on what body cams really mean for transparency and trust. Plus, challenges, the laughter, and the legal headaches this tech brings. Here are 3 key takeaways:Transparency Matters: When police turn off body cams mid-investigation, it raises suspicion—even if no wrongdoing occurred. As Steve Palmer notes, "It just doesn't look good" and creates an appearance of impropriety, which can impact public trust and courtroom defense.Practical Challenges Exist: Body cam footage is voluminous and costly to store and review. As Steve Palmer shares, legal teams now deal with hours of video and significant storage needs; charging fees for public record requests is becoming standard.Not All Recording Is Equal: While some suggested lawyers should wear body cams too, attorney-client privilege means confidential communications can't be recorded like police interactions. Protecting client privacy remains paramount.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

The direction of your life is often shaped by something easy to overlook: the expectations of the people closest to you. Our circle influences how we think about challenges, how we respond to discomfort, and how much effort we believe is required to grow. Today's episode explores the power of our peer group and why intentional relationships are one of the most important decisions we make when building a meaningful life.We've all felt the difference between two environments: one where people complain and shrink their goals, and one where people pursue growth and speak with possibility. The first room quietly drains ambition, while the second room wakes it up. This episode is a conversation about how to step toward the latter. Not by abandoning people, but by choosing alignment. By deciding which expectations you'll allow near your mindset, and which ones no longer serve your future.Growth requires accountability. Accountability requires environment. And environment requires intentional selection of the people who influence our habits, standards, and imagination. You deserve a circle that challenges your excuses and supports your potential.You don't need a perfect circle, you need an honest one. A circle that lives with purpose, demands effort, and believes your best days are still ahead. Today, we'll walk through how to evaluate your influences, how to enter stronger environments, and how to become someone who belongs in the circle you're seeking.Your circle will either raise your ceiling or reinforce it. If you choose your influences carefully, you'll begin to see your identity expand, your discipline strengthen, and your future open into possibilities you may have forgotten were possible.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the people around you—your teammates, your friends, your spouse, your children—absolutely thriving?   Today's guest is Bradley Rapier. Bradley is an award-winning, Emmy-nominated choreographer with over three decades of experience in dance, production and leading teams and talent from Hollywood to Broadway.  Whether dance and choreography is your thing or not, what Bradley teaches in this conversation with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft is what happens when people feel engaged and connected, and how we as leaders can facilitate that engagement.   So, whether you're leading your teenage children, a creative group, or you're simply part of a group of friends, when people deeply feel that they are a part of something, everything changes: productivity, creativity and well-being soar.  Bradley calls it, "stepping into the Circle," and everyone is invited.

If you want to know how to navigate police encounters and what actually happens when you challenge a stop, you're in the right place! Straight from your comments on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram! In this episode, host Steve Palmer and law student Troy Hendrickson talk about what happens when police stop you and ask for ID. Do officers have to tell you why they've pulled you over? What counts as "reasonable suspicion" for a stop—and should you push back on the street or wait for your day in court? From Supreme Court precedent to practical advice if you find yourself face-to-face with law enforcement, Steve Palmer shares the ins and outs of your rights, while Troy Hendrickson brings real-world scenarios to the table. Moments00:00 "Sovereign Citizen Rabbit Hole"06:20 "Legal Defense Against Drug Charges"09:14 "LawyerTalk: Advice and Insights"Top 3 takeaways:Police aren't legally required to disclose their reasonable suspicion during a stop. Steve clarifies: while officers should explain why they're stopping you, there's no law forcing them to disclose their suspicion to you on the street.It's often safer to comply and contest in court later. As tempting as it might be to debate an officer roadside, fighting or arguing in the moment can escalate the situation. Steve Palmer suggests saving your arguments for court, where legal professionals can protect your rights.You don't have to forfeit your rights to challenge a stop. Even if you comply during a questionable stop, your lawyer can later raise a suppression issue in court. Protect yourself by staying calm—and letting a legal expert handle the fight.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

Why is authentic community so hard to find? John Mark explores the modern challenges that keep us isolated—busyness, transience, digital distraction—but then goes deeper to reveal the ancient enemy underneath it all: shame. He shows us how shame disconnects us from God and each other, and how the often-overlooked practice of confession can heal our deepest wounds and reconnect us to the love we're desperate for.Key Scripture Passages: Genesis 2v25; Romans 7v21-25, 8v1-3; Mark 2v17; James 5v16This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

They do not know that, sitting around the table, is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo.They form a circle of unlikely rebels, drawn from the German elite: two countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador's widow and a pioneering head mistress. What unites every one of them is a shared loathing of the Nazis, a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance: meeting in the shadows, rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule. Or so they believe.How did a group of brave, principled rebels, who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade, come to fall into such a lethal trap?Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruelest men, they showed a heroism in the face of the most vengeful regime in history that raises the question: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?

Navigating female friendships at midlife can be challenging, especially for highly sensitive women. Host Elizabeth Cush and author Susan Shapiro Barash tackle the topic in this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.“Seventy-five percent of the women with whom I spoke said that it's harder to leave a best or closest female friend than it is to leave a romantic relationship or a marriage.”  — Susan Shapiro BarashAre you close with your sister, or do you have friends who feel like sisters to you? Do you have a female friendship that feels like it's not working any more, but you're not sure how to heal it or end it? As a highly sensitive woman, you may feel these friendships—and any conflicts—more deeply than others do. And have you ever stopped to wonder how our culture affects it all? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's coach, welcomes Susan Shapiro Barash, author of Estranged: How strained female friendships can be mended or ended, 13 other non-fiction titles, and four novels. Listen in on their conversation about friendships, the importance of community for women and how the patriarchy and capitalism have impacted our sense of how our relationships should be and how we interact with other women. You can find the full show notes and resources mentioned here.Join the Circle of Sacred Sensitivity here.Support the show

Yet all four shops share a mindset of curiosity, courage, and relentless improvement. Throughout these conversations, we explore how technology becomes a competitive advantage, how small teams can deliver massive output, why unconventional business strategies can pay off, and how employee-first leadership becomes the backbone of success. Every guest brings candor, humor, and real-world wisdom—showing that you don't become a Top Shop by accident.

In this powerful in-person conversation, I sit down with Gavin Meenan from Modern Warrior to explore some of the most fundamental challenges we face as humans—self-acceptance, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to truly meet our pain. Gavin opens up about his personal journey with low self-esteem and rejection, sharing the practices and mindset shifts that helped him develop genuine self-acceptance. We go deep on why so many of us struggle to accept ourselves as we are, the difference between self-acceptance and complacency, and how confronting our pain—rather than running from it—is often the path to real freedom. This isn't your typical motivational conversation. It's raw, honest, and practical. Whether you're battling self-doubt, struggling with rejection, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, this episode offers real wisdom and actionable insights.

Tyler Robinson Case Study: Legal Obligations, Evidence Analysis, and Death Penalty DefenseLaw student Troy Hendrickson joins Steve Palmer for a candid, off-the-cuff Q&A session inspired by listener questions from recent episodes. They are discussing the complexities of high-profile legal cases. Specifically, one involving a full confession through text messages, forensic evidence, and the looming possibility of the death penalty. Steve breaks down why even seemingly straightforward cases can turn into intricate legal battles. They discuss everything from the importance of rigorously verifying evidence and the role of defense attorneys to the pressures of public scrutiny and the vital need to uphold legal protections for everyone, no matter the circumstances. Whether you're a legal enthusiast or just curious about how the justice system really works behind the headlines, this episode will give you a deeper look at the challenges and responsibilities involved in defending high-stakes criminal cases. Moments00:00 DNA Evidence and Reasonable Doubt04:13 Death Penalty Legal Process Explained07:11 "Protecting Legal Rights for All"Key Takeaways:Key Takeaways:Every Detail Matters: Even if the prosecution has what appears to be a “full confession” and rock-solid forensic evidence (like DNA and fingerprints), defense attorneys are obligated to examine every piece of evidence. Just because it "quacks like a duck," as Steve Palmer puts it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be verified.Complexity is More Than Evidence: High-profile cases—especially those involving the death penalty—require meticulous review not just of the facts, but of legal, scientific, and social angles. Defense teams often engage experts, from forensic analysts to mitigation specialists, to ensure every aspect is covered.Public Outrage Raises the Stakes: When cases land in the public spotlight, the pressure to “skip to the end” is real. Still, as criminal defense lawyers, the duty is to uphold every legal protection, regardless of public sentiment, so the integrity of the justice system is preserved for everyone.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
