Send us Fan MailA lot of athletes say they love the mountains, but Andy Cornish actually builds her whole season around them. We talk about Jackson Hole summer life, getting up on the Grand Teton, and how growing up in the Tetons shaped a style that blends trail running, mountaineering, and ski mountaineering into one “mountain athlete” path.Andy also shares what it feels like to join the Mammoot team and why the fit matters when your goals don't look like the standard trail racing checklist. We get into the gear details that make big days smoother, including a vest-style 15-liter pack that can carry water up front and still haul climbing essentials, plus what she looks for in traction and support when moving fast on technical terrain.Then we go deeper on the question I've started asking more often: what's your why? Andy breaks down the mix of nerves, excitement, peace, and empowerment that comes from choosing hard objectives, especially as a woman in a space that still needs more representation. We close with a practical note every runner understands: foot care, injury mitigation, and why insoles and socks can make or break consistency when plantar or peroneal issues flare up.If you enjoy these athlete stories and mountain-focused training talk, subscribe or follow, share this with a friend who lives for steep trails, and leave a rating and review so we can keep making more.Follow Andie on IG - @andiecornishUse code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Cornwall is a corner of the world which imprints itself on all who visit, and few businesses are quite as synonymous with their origins as Fat Willy's, a perennial presence on the Cornish coastline.In this episode, Liz and Leila sit down with Co-Owner and Director Marc Ward, to retrace the steps of how a surf shack dream from the 1980s became a Cornish institution, from Marc's dad's original vision to how the brand has grown while staying firmly rooted in Cornwall and family life.
With his eerie Rose of Nevada enthralling audiences across North America, and opening in Toronto, Vancouver and Hamilton this Friday, Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin is here to make the case for John Milius' Big Wednesday – the personal epic starring Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt and Gary Busey as California surfers – as a lost masterpiece. Your genial host Norm Wilner is curious to see where this goes.
Carl Smith joins Tom Dove, Neils Spooner and Adam Reed fresh off another incredible spring, with not one but two UK 50s already under his belt. From stalking a stunning Cornish linear on floating bread to finally banking a long-awaited reservoir common, there's plenty of big carp chat to get into.The conversation also dives into Carl's recent Japan film, chasing carp beneath Mount Fuji, the appeal of mystery fish, and why the unknown still drives so many anglers.
In this second sponsored episode with Findmypast — the follow-up to our Genealogy 101 introduction — Jonathan Thomas and Jen Baldwin, Research Specialist at Findmypast, go deeper into the records, techniques, and stories that turn a nervous beginner into a confident family historian. The episode covers the extraordinary richness of the 1921 census and 1939 register, why the newspaper archive is the place where ancestors stop being names and start being people, how the Industrial Revolution left its fingerprints across every family tree, the truth about name changes and spelling variations (it was almost never Ellis Island), how to avoid drowning in common surnames like Thomas or Smith, the unexpected discoveries that make genealogy so addictive — including Jen's own Cornish mail-order bride ancestor, an Irish great-great-grandfather with two arrests across two countries, and Audrey Thompson the World War II rat-catching champion — and how to connect all of it to the great currents of British history. The episode also covers parish records, military records, DNA testing, the role of offline archives, and the mindset that keeps family history a lifelong joy rather than a frustrating quest for perfection. If you haven't heard the first episode, Genealogy 101, go back and listen to that one first.

Podcast — Jen Baldwin Also Referenced Genealogy 101 — Previous Episode with Jen Baldwin (listen first) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The 1921 census and 1939 register work best as a pair — together they bookend the interwar period, and used in combination they can anchor a family from living memory all the way back through the Victorian era. The 1921 is the most detailed census ever taken in England and Wales; the 1939 register is the only census-style record with full birth dates and tracks maiden-to-married name changes for women. The 1939 register is the foundational document of the NHS — a living document updated for decades after the war, making it uniquely valuable for women's research. ARP warden and Home Guard volunteer roles recorded in its margins bring the home front of World War II vividly to life. Less than 10% of historical records are currently available online. The other 90% live in county record offices, local archives, churches, and museums — and going to them in person, touching the original documents, is an irreplaceable experience that no screen can fully replicate. Names were almost never changed at Ellis Island. Spelling variations in records happen because clerks wrote what they heard, literacy levels were inconsistent, and people adapted their names to the culture they found themselves in. You are researching people, not names — and building a mountain of evidence is the only reliable way to confirm you have the right person. Common surnames are a solvable problem: search by address rather than name, find an unusual first name in the same family, use occupations as a generational signature, and use Findmypast's wildcard and name-variation search tools to cast a wider net before narrowing down. Military records are one of the most common gateways to unexpected discovery — attestation papers, service records, pension files, and medal rolls fill in the specifics of what an ancestor actually did, where they served, and what happened to them. The Pals battalions of World War I, where entire communities enlisted together and died together, are particularly powerful to research. Parish records predate civil registration by centuries — the earliest on Findmypast go back to the 1300s — and the parish chest records that accompany them reveal an ancestor's role in their community: tax records, poor relief, bastardy orders, apprenticeship documents, and more that have nothing to do with baptism but everything to do with understanding a life. DNA testing adds a powerful new dimension to family research — not as a replacement for documentary evidence, but as a corroborating tool that can confirm suspected connections, break through brick walls by connecting you to unknown cousins, and reveal migration patterns that the paper records haven't caught yet. The best cure for a genealogy brick wall is to switch branches entirely. Fresh eyes on a different part of the family tree — maternal lines, in-laws, siblings — often reveals the clue that unlocks the original problem. The answer to who your Thomas ancestor was is sometimes hiding in his wife's maiden name records. Replace the goal of a perfect family tree with the practice of curiosity. The satisfaction of genealogy is not in the quantity of ancestors collected but in the two-in-the-morning moment when everything suddenly clicks — and that moment always opens a hundred new questions. This is a lifelong hobby, and patience rewards it far more than brilliance does. Soundbites "She answers a mail order bride ad in Cornwall. She travels by herself across the Atlantic, gets on a train, goes to the highest incorporated town in Colorado at ten thousand feet, marries this man sight unseen. He dies in a mining accident. She waits a few months, answers another ad, gets on another train with her kids, moves to Nebraska. They shake hands, go to the courthouse, get married. That's not as unusual as you might think." — Jen on her Cornish ancestor Mary Daniels and the extraordinary ordinary lives migration records reveal. "Their name was not changed at Ellis Island. Did it happen occasionally? Yes. But not because someone at a table said, I think you look more like a Smith. Names change because clerks wrote what they heard. You are researching people, not names." — Jen on the biggest myth in genealogy. "I found a gentleman who fills the census in black ink — except for the marriage column, which is a giant red D that he has clearly spent a lot of time on. It's written over and over. You can see the imprint on the page. He felt very passionately about his divorce." — Jen on the 1921 census entry that is worth the price of a subscription on its own. "She volunteers for the Women's Land Army and the next thing you know she is the country's top rat catcher. She enters the competition, travels the country giving presentations, getting her picture taken by local media — the top rat catcher fighting to save Britain from the Nazis. Because we needed the crops." — Jen on Audrey Thompson, one of her favorite unexpected discoveries. "He gets arrested twice. Once in Ireland and once in Wales — the situation in Wales was a bar fight, quite literally, covered in the newspaper in a lot of detail. He ends up in Cork prison, then Wales, then Liverpool, then Pennsylvania. I know all of that because of newspapers, arrest records, and a passenger list. The records all connect to tell a much deeper story." — Jen on tracing an Irish ancestor through famine, crime, and migration. "There's only about a percent of historical materials actually available online. There are more records sitting in archives and churches and museums and little nuggets all over the country. Go to the county records office. Go to the cemetery. Touch grass. Actually get away from the screen — because it connects you with the past in a way you could never duplicate in an online experience." — Jen on why physical archives still matter. "The 1939 register is the foundational records for the National Health Service. It was a living document for decades after the war. When women got married from 1939 on, you have their maiden name recorded and then they would go in and scratch out the maiden name and write their married name over the top. For women's research, it's particularly important." — Jen on why the 1939 register is so valuable. "I went to the church in St. Dunstan's Parish in the East. They still have the same baptismal font sitting in the building. And the steps down to the Thames along Radcliffe Highway are still in the same place as they were in the 1600s when my ancestors would have been there. I believe I'm the first person in our direct line to go back to London since they left in 1635. That first trip over was extraordinarily special." — Jen on the moment family history becomes real. "In a Pals battalion, they recruited whole battalions from the same community. All those men were neighbors before the war. They went to school together, they married each other's sisters, they went to church together. You get this situation where you're looking at an entire village of people who enlist and then get caught up in a battle and hundreds of them die in the same night. This is more than just a pedigree chart. This is an opportunity to remember them." — Jen on World War I Pals battalions and why war memorials matter. "You make a discovery and you've been researching this for hours or sometimes months or years, and you finally find it. It's two o'clock in the morning and you are literally jumping up and down in front of your computer. And then you realize I found this thing — but now I have a hundred more questions. That's the bit that keeps people coming back." — Jen on the true nature of the genealogy addiction.

Enter the cell: a ragtag group of heavy-hitters packed into a Land Rover Defender with enough firepower to start a small war. Their objective is simple but suicidal: slip past the perimeter, locate a local asset codenamed "Bal" at the Lighthouse Keeper's Respite, and secure an artifact known only as the "Stone of Bone." But between the kamikaze seagulls, un-aging cultists, and a herd of heavily mutated livestock, surviving the night might be a lot harder than they think. Welcome to Delta Green!

The rapid rise of AI chat presenting as therapists has spurred a reaction to differentiate what AI can do versus the work of a licensed therapist.This is causing many people to look more closely at the question:What Is Therapy?In today's discussion, we'll both look back at how therapy has been understood historically and look forward to cutting-edge research like “interpersonal neural synchrony,” which is being studied across therapy professions and perhaps paving the way for a unified definition of therapy and its biological mechanisms. Understanding therapy in a neurobiological way will also help us understand why therapy is so often measured by triangulating multiple outcome measures.We are joined in the course by Megan Cornish, LICSW, and we hope it will inspire you to consider the remarkable power of therapeutic relationships (that we are just at the beginning of understanding.)

This week the Bad Dads take a midweek spin of the Amazon Prime roulette wheel and land on The Bad Education Movie, the 2015 big-screen send-off for Jack Whitehall's BBC Three sitcom. Sidey is not thrilled. Reegs has seen some of it before. Cris has only caught the ending. Dan is mostly wondering how all this happened.What We CoveredAmazon Prime roulette: With no planned theme and a hectic week, the Dads pick numbers, scroll through Prime, and end up with The Bad Education Movie.Sidey vs Jack Whitehall: Sidey clarifies that Jack Whitehall may be lovely in real life, but the posh, fumbling, “I've said a swear word” comic persona absolutely grates.The sitcom-to-film set-up: A BBC Three comedy becomes a feature-length send-off, following teacher Alfie Wickers and his suspiciously adult-looking class.Amsterdam chaos: Mushrooms, the Anne Frank museum, a stolen model, E.T. bicycle imagery, and an early sign of the film's comic level.Classroom carnage: Harry Enfield appears, the PTA are unimpressed, and a hamster gag goes full Richard Gere.Cornwall instead of Vegas: The school trip ends up around the Eden Project rather than the intended big blow-out, with Cornish stereotypes and a fake liberation movement driving the plot.Running gags: Fencing, the unfinished C-L-A tattoo, the tourist helicopter, gentrification, Tarquin, and the Cornish Liberation Army all get set up and paid off — just not, in the Dads' view, amusingly.Gross-out humour: The relic/foreskin/pork-scratching gag, the Cornish strip club, zip-lining nudity, and repeated close-ups of Jack Whitehall's anatomy take the film firmly into loud juvenile territory.The cast: The Dads note a surprisingly large cast, including Harry Enfield, Iain Glen, Matthew Horne and Clarke Peters, while repeatedly asking why some of them are in this.The broader Whitehall question: The episode detours into Jack Whitehall's mainstream TV appeal, his safe-bet presenting persona, American audiences, and Michael Whitehall's industry background.Key Quotes / Moments“There's only so good that somebody can make you look.”“This was chosen in a sort of lottery-type fashion.”“I'm sure he's very nice… but I don't find him funny.”“This makes Brothers Grimsby look quite nuanced.”“All the jokes that they set up, they do pay off. They're just not funny.”“Top five worst things I've watched for the pod.”“Strong avoid for me.”VerdictA strong avoid. Sidey finds the film loud, juvenile, exhausting and almost entirely unfunny, placing it among the worst things watched for the podcast. Dan agrees with a strong avoid, Reegs recognises the sitcom background but does not rescue it, and Cris' “strong recommend?” is pure mischief.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

High above an ancient Cornish church, something waits in the gathering dusk.In 1976, terrified witnesses reported seeing a towering winged figure perched upon the church tower at Mawnan Smith. With glowing eyes, vast feathered wings, and a shape that seemed both human and owl, the creature would become one of Britain's most enduring modern mysteries: the Owlman of Mawnan.Join Owen Staton as we journey into the shadowed woodlands of Cornwall, where ancient trees crowd forgotten paths and old stones hold older secrets. Together we'll explore the chilling encounters, the folklore of the night, and the unsettling feeling that sometimes, when darkness falls, something may be watching from above.So settle by the fire, listen to the wind beyond the window, and keep your eyes on the sky.Because tonight, we enter the woods beneath the church tower… and search for the Owlman.Welcome to The Time Between Times.Take careOwen x www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7
In this uplifting episode, Becky sits down with Meredith Cornish, a mom of 15, to talk about faith, family, and finding joy in the midst of life's challenges. Meredith shares her journey of raising children with disabilities, growing her family through adoption, and trusting God's goodness through every season. Together, they discuss intentional parenting, creating peace in a busy home, supporting children with special needs, and the importance of community, prayer, and resilience. Meredith also shares insights from her book, Even in the Hard Stuff, encouraging listeners to find hope, gratitude, and God's grace even in difficult circumstances. This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and a powerful reminder that joy can be found even in the hard stuff.
The concept to which The Rascals were dedicated was, in Felix Cavaliere's words, "Marvin Gaye's voice, Ray Charles' piano, Jimmy Smith's organ, Phil Spector's production and The Beatles' writing. Put them all together and you've got what I wanted to do." A White Rock band playing Black Soul music was a new idea for Pop in 1965. "The great thing about music in the 1960s was that people were discovering there was no color barrier in the business. We were respected by the Black groups we loved as much as we respected them," noted Cornish. The Rascals' music was dubbed blue-eyed Soul, a term Cavaliere never cared for. "I always hated the label because it created a separation between Black and White music. It was a marketing concept. As soon as you put a drum in music, it's R&B. I wish it wouldn't have been called blue-eyed Soul. My eyes aren't blue."The band's first release for Atlantic was called "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" which rose to #52 in the U.S. in 1965, but it was their 1966 effort, "Good Lovin'" that made them Rock 'n' Roll stars. The song quickly rose to the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and went Gold. They followed with two more Top 20 hits, "You Better Run" (#20) and "I've Been Lonely Too Long" (#16) later the same year.The writing was a key component of the band's success, as sixteen of their eighteen chart records were written by Cavaliere alone or in tandem with frequent collaborator Eddie Brigati. As the song writing progressed, social commentary began to show up in the music. The group's growing ambition was reflected in the change from The Young Rascals to simply The Rascals. The word "young" had originally been inserted before the band's name for legal reasons. It seems there was a group named Johnny Pulleo & The Harmonica Rascals who claimed a proprietary interest. "We were embarrassed about that, 'cause we were trying to be a Soul band," said Cornish. "It wasn't The Silver Rascals or The Rockin' Rascals, it was The Young Rascals! And we had to live with it. By the time we got to Groovin', we said, 'Well, enough of this. We are The Rascals.'"A high point for both Cornish and Cavaliere was 1968's #1 hit "People Got To Be Free". "The message in songs like 'People Got To Be Free' is as important now as it ever was," said Gene. It was written in reaction to the King and Kennedy assassinations that year. In fact, Cavaliere had worked for the RFK campaign. "That the song was #1 in places like Berlin and South Africa meant a lot to me," said Felix. Despite the initial resistance to the political nature of the song, it went on to become The Rascals' biggest-selling record. It was also their last #1 hit. The Rascals followed with "A Ray Of Hope" (#24 in 1968), "Heaven" (#39 in 1969), "See" (#27 in 1969) and "Carry Me Back" (#26 in 1969). Two other 1970 releases, "Hold On" (#81) and "Glory Glory" (#71) failed to crack the Top 40, and a song called "Love Me" was a miserable flop when it peaked at #99 during a one week stay on the Hot 100 in the Summer of 1971. The Jazz-tinged experimentation of later albums like "Peaceful World" and "The Island Of Real" (which Cavaliere once called "The best record I ever made") proved less commercial than the group's earlier Garage Band Soul. Management was less than supportive of the new directions the band was headed in and a switch to the Columbia label in 1971 failed to provide the new life they were looking for. Personal frictions were on the rise too, and eventually Brigati and Cornish quit the band. They were replaced with Buzzy Feiten (from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band) and Ann Sutton, who had sung with various Soul and Jazz groups in Philadelphia. By 1972, The Rascals called it quits.

In this UK personal finance Q&A, Pete and Roger tackle six listener questions covering pensions, investing, tax and money mindset. We discuss whether high earners should ever consider opting out of the NHS pension due to annual allowance tax, how to handle family gifts during divorce, and what to do about ERI on accumulating ETFs in a GIA. You'll also hear guidance on rebalancing after strong fund gains, rebuilding finances after an IVA, and investing a £350k inheritance with ISAs, SIPPs and premium bonds. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA52 01:34 Question 1 Dear Pete and Roger, Could you provide an opinion on if and when it would be worth at least considering leaving the NHS pension scheme due to tax reasons? I can sense immediate puckering and this is not something I ask on a whim - I am aware of the comparative value of public sector DB pensions versus other retirement savings methods and indeed encourage the staff I work with to pay in. I am a senior doctor in my 40s with high NHS earnings and rental income on top. I am one of those affected by Annual Allowance tapering and have significant AA tax bills every year with no end in sight. My projections are that I will have an annual AA tax charge of ~£30k every year going forwards as my income is pretty stable. The annual AA tax charge is up to 40% of the annual capital benefits accrued in any year (i.e. LTA calc of 20 times pension plus 3 times lump sum). I pay this via scheme pays but the scheme pays loan docked from benefits at retirement is inflated at CPI+1.7% against pension benefits growth of CPI+1.5% from my own research. I don't expect much sympathy as a high earner but no-one wants to pay more tax than they have to and I never hear my situation talked about other than snippets in the depths of Reddit forums. My plan is to keep ploughing on and engage a full-scale planning review when I turn 50 leaving up to 10 years to consider aversive action once my wife and I have 'enough' pension. Many thanks for your thoughts. David. 09:23 Question 2 Dear Pete and Roger, I want to say a big thank you for all of the guidance you provide, there really is nothing else like it and has been hugely beneficial in organising my finances. My question for you is how to structure gifts to someone who is going through the early stages of a divorce. My sibling is sadly in this situation and our mother is looking to make a sizeable gift to us following the death of our father. How should we be thinking about this and are there any vehicles or structures such as trusts that we could be using to avoid my siblings spouse from being entitled to half of the gift? Grateful for any guidance you can provide in this matter. Best regards, Alfred 13:12 Question 3 Hi, I have held several GIA accounts for many years and I hold accumulating ETFs within the GIAs. Occasionally, I have had to pay CGT through my self assessment when I have sold these ETFs. Mostly, I have always been a basic rate tax payer. I have recently discovered that HMRC requires Excess Reportable Income (ERI) to be declared on accumulating ETFs. In the case of ETFs which receive company dividends, this means I need to take note of the Reporting date of each ETF and add up all notional dividends as if they were paid on the distribution date (6 months later) and if over £500, I should have paid dividend tax on the excess. Also, in the case of some MMF ETFs I hold, these may have an ERI notional interest payment and this would count as being potentially subject to income tax. Since I have sold many of these ETFs and I have not subtracted the ERI amounts from my total gain, I have probably overpaid tax (CGT) rather than underpaid as a basic rate tax payer. However, if I was a higher rate tax payer, I would probably have been underpaying tax if I have not accounted for ERI. This is because the higher rate dividend tax is much higher than the CGT rate. I now understand that to avoid having to calculate ERI on accumulating ETFs each year and keep a running total for each one, most people simply buy distributing ETFs inside a GIA rather than accumulating ETFs and I am in the process of ensuring all my ETFs are the distributing kind inside my GIAs. Should I be concerned about ERI on my accumulating ETFs? Do accountants calculate ERI for their clients on all the accumulating ETFs they hold? If so, how do they do it as there does not seem to be any easy way? Do HMRC ever check that the ERI on accumulating ETFs has been declared (my guess is that they would only bother for high rate taxpayers with large ETF holdings)? How would HMRC even know that you hold large amounts of accumulating ETFs on which you should be declaring ERI? Why is it that hardly anyone seems to know about ERI on accumulating ETFs? 19:14 Question 4 Good morning both, I would like to start by thanking you for all your hard work over the past decade or so. I am a mid 40's year old woman who had no financial knowledge until about 2 years ago. I had a cancer diagnosis which led me to leave a very time consuming and stressful job and take over the family finances which had been neglected for the best part of 20 years. We are now in a much better position; we have filled our ISA's and that of our children, put more money into SIPP's (and opened one in my case) and opened junior SIPP's for the kids. Our mortgage is paid off too. I have listened to all your back catalogue and in some cases relistened to episodes which have been especially useful to our situation! Thank you. My question relates to funds that have done particularly well and what is best to do with them. Some of my earlier fund choices are showing gains of around 50%. This seems extraordinary to me and I am very happy with the return. My Dad (much more experienced who has been doing this for 50 odd years) tells me the best thing to do with these funds is to take out 50% of the gain and reinvest in a different fund. What would your advice be? Take out the whole lot and re-invest? Take out 50% and re-invest that as recommended by my Dad or leave the whole lot in and hope it continues to grow? For background, I am very happy with the gains but we are very much on a catchup programme as we have started so late. The sums involved are still quite small! The ultimate aim is for my husband to retire early. I hope to work again too at some point once all treatment is finished but only part time. I am so grateful for everything you have done and always wait eagerly for the next episode to drop. With very best wishes, Agnes 26:02 Question 5 Hi, Hope you are well and can help a Cornish lass! I am 35 and have never been able to budget or manage finances. In fact I have always buried my head in the sand. Unfortunately, when lockdown and maternity leave hit at the same time, we could not afford our debt repayments (we had purchased a house in January of 2020 too). We had no choice but to take out an IVA. We are now in the 6th year of this as it was extended as we couldn't release equity from our home. This is due to end in November of this year and I have been doing my best to learn about budgeting and managing finances ready for when this ends. I have started a spreadsheet to start tracking expenses and aim to start an emergency fund plus a pot for putting some money away for Christmas/birthdays. I have been discussing this with my husband and he thinks we should get an overdraft as soon as the IVA finishes to start building our credit rating, whereas I think we should get a small credit card that we pay off each time we use it. What do you think we should do as our first few steps coming out of the IVA to build more security for our future? Thank you in advance. Kindest regards Lisa 33:12 Question 6 Salutations, Roger, Pete, My question is on what to do with a lump sum inheritance-y thing as a younger guy. My parents have been very financially successful in business and incredibly generous to my brother and I, and gifted us each an apartment a few years ago, to make use of the "first property" exemptions and the 7 year gift rule. Now that I'm mature enough to understand the opportunity, I've taken control of the management of mine. While I understand it's an incredible income generating asset, I'm not a fan of real estate, and am much more comfortable selling the property and investing in index funds within the variety of wrappers available in the UK. After fees and taxes, should I go through with the sale, I will net approx £350k. My plan is as follows: - £47k into premium bonds (I currently have £3k) - £40k into my SIPP (limited by current salary) - £40k held in cash, to be invested into my SIPP in tax year 2, potentially up to £52k as my salary rises - Remainder into GIA - All invested in Vanguard index tracking funds I'm 26, working as an Officer in the military, so I have an incredibly low cost of living (subsidised accommodation and no utilities), and a non contributory DB pension plan, so no need to allocate money there, and am able to max out my S&S ISA yearly just with my salary. I know these steps are good, but having the best part of £220k in a GIA, paying CGT on the other end of that makes me a little unhappy, especially if I hold it for multiple decades. I'm aware this is a real champagne problem but do either of you have any recommendations on improvements to my plan and mindset, or are you able to poke any holes in my approach? Should I hold more in cash to later invest into my SIPP? Bed and ISA/ SIPP over time? Spend some of it, even? I know it's an aggressive approach, but I'm sort of an "all or nothing" sort of guy, even with investing as is referenced in my 70+% savings rate, but balance has always been hard for me to find. My goal is to be Financially Independent by 36. I'll likely keep working but I like the security of that idea, and the saltily coined term "F-you money". Whatever you both think, I will deeply ponder over and analyse for many hours. Thank you both for the many episodes of top tier information. I would apologise for the lack of brevity, but I know you love it really. Thanks guys, you're both rockstars! Nick

The early modern period was a rocky time for religion across Europe, fundamental pinnings of everyday life were being questioned and changing, as the reformation shifted authority away from the church. Thoughts on death and the afterlife were turned upside down, and in villages across England, restless spirits were making a comeback. To confront these supernatural intruders, communities turned to their local clergy to carry out the practice of ghost-laying, an exorcism ritual that sought to bind and banish the dead. At least, that's what Victorian authors would have liked to believe. Part religion, part folklore, and part fear, the subject of ghost-laying is fairly well complicated, and defining just how much of it is actually true, even more so. SOURCES Walsh, Brendan C.

Taurus, the Tarot Tower card, Thor, Tours, and the Tyrrhenian Sea all share one ancient root. In Inner Whirled Episode 3, Chance Garton and Dylan Saccoccio trace the bull-Lord-Tower symbol back to a hidden Etruscan and Phoenician empire that left its fingerprints across Western language, mythology, and the tarot.This episode covers Etruscan and Celtic origins, the goddess Tanit and the tarot's High Priestess card, hornism and the protective meaning of bull horns, Apollo Granus and Kronos, Phoenician and Punic philology, Cornish and Welsh etymology, and astrotheology connecting the Pleiades, the dove, and the constellation Taurus.Remote Biofield Tuning sessions with Chance are available via Zoom.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 63rd New York Film Festival with Rose of Nevada director Mark Jenkin and actress Mary Woodvine, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Rose of Nevada opens at Film at Lincoln Center on June 19 with select screenings on 35mm and featuring in-person Q&As opening weekend. View full screening schedule and secure tickets at filmlinc.org/nevada The singular Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin brings his distinctive and bold storytelling approach to his most expansive work yet. Again immersing the viewer in the uncanny environments of the small towns along the coast of Cornwall, Jenkin spins a sci-fi-tinged tale of dislocation and regeneration. In a tiny, sparsely populated fishing village, a boat that had been lost at sea 30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada, suddenly reappears portside, fully intact and without its long-missing crew. Two local neophyte fishermen desperate for work (played by George MacKay and Callum Turner) take jobs on the boat as it sets out for a good-luck return voyage. When they return, all is no longer what it once was. Shot on 16mm, this earthy, psychological portrait of a working-class community's cyclical existence is an atmospheric plunge into the eerie. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ SERVES: Christopher Mannino TitleMythology, Meaning & Making It Up Along the Way TaglineSometimes the stories we create become the bridge that helps families connect, heal, and grow together. DescriptionOn June 11th at 11 AM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Christopher Mannino — author, former theatre teacher, digital nomad, and parenting connection advocate whose journey into storytelling began on the Cornish coast at the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. That unexpected moment sparked the creation of The Scythe Wielder's Secret and launched a creative path shaped by mythology, literature, theatre, and family connection. Now living in Malta with his wife and two children, Christopher blends imagination, empathy, and lived experience into both his fiction and nonfiction work for children and adults alike. Beyond storytelling, he has become widely recognized for helping parents and children connect more deeply through his innovative “Making It Up Method,” encouraging creativity, emotional connection, and communication through shared storytelling. This Teatime explores resilience, empathy, parenting, imagination, mythology, and the power stories have to bring people closer together. OpeningWelcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we serve real-life T-E-A through stories that inspire creativity, connection, and growth. Today's guest reminds us that sometimes the unexpected moments in life become the beginning of entirely new journeys. Christopher Mannino's path into storytelling began while stranded along the Cornish coast near the legendary birthplace of King Arthur — a moment that sparked imagination, curiosity, and eventually a creative career rooted in mythology, family, and human connection. As an author, educator, and advocate for helping families communicate through storytelling, Christopher shows us that stories are not only entertainment — they are bridges that help us better understand ourselves and one another. Christopher, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. ClosingTonight's conversation reminds us that storytelling is one of humanity's oldest and most powerful forms of connection. Christopher Mannino shows us how imagination, empathy, and creativity can strengthen relationships, open communication, and help both children and adults navigate life more meaningfully. Whether through mythology, parenting, teaching, or simply making up stories together, connection begins when we are willing to listen, imagine, and grow alongside one another. As we leave today's Teatime, may we all reflect on this: What stories are helping shape the relationships in our own lives? Christopher Mannino is an author, former theatre teacher, and parenting connection advocate currently living in Malta. Inspired by mythology, literature, and family life, he writes fiction and nonfiction for children and adults while helping parents and kids strengthen relationships through creativity, storytelling, empathy, and his innovative “Making It Up Method.”Favourite ColourPurple One Word That Describes HimFun His T-E-EResiliencePerseveranceEmpathy: Three Phrases That Share His StoryMythology and imaginationStories that connect familiesAdventure through storytelling on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/CTManninoInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/christophermannino/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@parentingandbooksWebsite:https://www.christophermannino.com#TeatimeWithMissLiz#ChristopherMannino#StorytellingConnection#ParentingThroughStories#MakingADifferenceOneCupAtATime
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Cornwall's finest and UK film making royalty MARK JENKIN!A total gem of an episode here, whether you are a heavyweight devotee of Mark's film output or if this is the first time you're hearing about him. Mark's got many years in the game, and in an era where almost every single thing feels digital, his approach to film making is almost as aesthetically radical as it comes - using all analogue gear, and a truly unique attitude to post-sync sound too. This chat gets into many eras and processes, including the origins of Bait (2019) which stem back to decades ago, how to tour a film, making films for an audience of self, representing the working class in an honourable way, Cornwall stereotypes, falling in love with the film making process again via Super8 cameras, the music making process and how said sync work happens. Genuine good stuff for the films heads (and, as said, those not familiar - everyone will get something from this). Oh and just TRY not to incorporate the Cornish Affirmative into you daily parlance.

Anti-migrant violence continued in Belfast for a second night after a stabbing attack allegedly by a Sudanese asylum seeker resulted in a man losing his left eye. Immigrants described fleeing their homes in terror after gangs of masked people targeted them last night. We hear from two women from the Sudanese community in Belfast and speak to a local politician.Also on the programme: more women than ever are sleeping rough in England, we hear about the challenges they face.With an uptick in the number of children who say they enjoy reading for pleasure, we ask: how to keep up the momentum?And on the eve of the World Cup, we'll hear how the Cornish introduced football - as well as their signature dish - to co-hosts Mexico.
In August 2000, the quiet Cornish village of Carnkie became the scene of one of Britain's most devastating family murder cases. Over the course of just 24 hours, Lee Ford murdered his wife, Lesley, and her four children before attempting to hide what he had done and convince neighbours they had simply disappeared. As the truth slowly emerged, investigators uncovered a story of control, abuse, deception and unimaginable violence.This week on Seeing Red, we examine the lives of the victims, the warning signs that preceded the killings, the investigation that exposed Ford's lies, and the shocking details that would come to light after his arrest. This is the story of the Carnkie Murders — a case that continues to haunt Cornwall more than two decades later.Please be aware that this episode contains discussion of murder, domestic abuse and child victims.http://www.youtube.com/@seeingredtruecrimepodcastwww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcasthttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtwwww.seeingredpodcast.co.ukTheme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Hosted on Acast.

On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor.They are searching still.In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return.Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies.This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far.So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself…If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow?Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end .www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's Ko-fi pagewww.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

She's in the middle of a busy run of Irish dates, having performed in Dublin earlier this week and at an intimate house concert in Shannon last night, before heading on to the Galway Folk Festival and the Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival this weekend. Ezmay Grace, along with Damien O'Rourke of Cuppa Tea TV, joined Alan Morrissey to talk about her music, her Irish tour, and the stories behind her songs. Photo (c) Clare FM
Have you started expecting therapy to do too much? In this episode, I sit down with therapist and writer Megan Cornish to talk about the pressure we place on therapy to solve problems that may actually stem from isolation, lack of community, and modern life itself. Megan shares that many of the struggles we now label as “mental health problems” were once held by friends, neighbors, faith communities, and everyday human relationships. She also breaks down ACT therapy exercises that can help you hold painful thoughts more lightly and reconnect to your values instead of chasing constant happiness.

Wayne and Eddie are here as we talk about some sad news, Wally Langlois (who came on this program many times over the years) passed away last week. We talk about Wally, his car, the work he did, his racing days and more. That lead us to talk about what happens when we die, what we want to happen to us, and more stuff. We also talked about Ed's "new" truck, the Main Street cruise next week, the car show in Cornish and other stuff.
I'm delighted to connect with Dr. Eboni Cornish today. She is the Associate Medical Director of Amen Clinics and President of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, specializing in complex chronic illness with expertise in brain health, Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, mold exposure, gut dysfunction, and women's midlife health. In our conversation, we explore how perimenopause and menopause affect the brain, as well as the roles of genetics and epigenetics. Dr. Cornish explains limbic lock, SPECT imaging, the impact of tick-borne illnesses, and co-infections, and how brain health issues can influence mental health. We also dive into the role of mold in testing, the gut-brain-immune-hormone axis, vagal tone, the estrobolome, leptin, the MTHFR mutation, and how Dr. Cornish prefers to have it tested and treated in her patients. Stay tuned for an insightful and wide-ranging conversation on brain health and women's midlife wellness. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why women may experience brain fog, forgetfulness, and cognitive slowing as estrogen declines How declining estrogen could make the brain more vulnerable to toxins, infections, and leaky brain How disrupted sleep, poor nutrition, and lack of oxygen (from issues like sleep apnea) can negatively affect cognition and brain health The value of continuing to learn and staying socially connected to support your cognitive health as you age How genetics can help to identify women who may be at higher risk for cognitive decline later in life. What limbic lock means How toxin overload, mold, Lyme disease, and co-infections, and unresolved stress can create a state of limbic lock How SPECT imaging helps to explain why some people fail to improve despite multiple treatments The benefits of progesterone for supporting relaxation and improving sleep during perimenopause How declining estrogen and gut dysbiosis during perimenopause can affect the gut-brain axis Bio: Dr. Eboni Cornish Dr. Eboni Cornish is the Associate Medical Director of Amen Clinics and President of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society.

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
This week's guest is Paul Sanders, who returns after a long absence to talk about his latest move to seek 'still'. Paul spent years operating at the sharp end of British newspaper photography as Picture Editor of The Times, living among relentless deadlines, pressure, and the pursuit of tomorrow's front page. Somewhere within that world, though, he began to realise that achievement and contentment don't always arrive hand in hand. Over time, photography became less about proving himself and more about paying attention again. His pictures now are often shaped by solitude, weather, atmosphere, and the Cornish landscape. He speaks honestly about burnout, depression, creativity, and rebuilding a sense of purpose through time spent alone with a camera. We also discuss his new book, Still, which sold out within weeks of its initial publication. In the mailbag today, Adriano Henney discovers that his toughest critic may in fact be living under the same roof, David Munro is beginning a photographic project that lets him follow the beautiful game wherever his travels happen to take him, Glenn Sowerby finds himself among the black velvet and eyeliner of a Goth festival, our own Neil Ford is photographing people dressed in foam costumes while attempting half marathon world records, and Bob Demers, (Bob of the Desert) is asking the world to stop shouting! Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale, better known by his online pseudonym Raw Egg Nationalist, is a British historian, author, and cultural commentator. He holds a PhD from Oxford University, where his research focused on late medieval religious history. He gained prominence as an influential voice on X/Twitter advocating “raw egg nationalism” — a provocative blend of extreme physical fitness (centered on raw eggs and natural nutrition), traditional masculinity, anti-corporate food industry critique, and resistance to what he sees as the deliberate decline of male vitality through endocrine disruptors, ultraprocessed foods, and liberal modernity. A prolific writer, he has authored books such as Raw Egg Nationalism in Theory and Practice, The Eggs Benedict Option, and The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, and serves as editor of Man's World magazine.

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
In 1509, England went from a dying paranoid king to a golden coronation to a deadly plague in about eight months. This is a Year in the Life episode, where we slow down and live inside 1509, not just at court but in the guild halls and households of ordinary Londoners who had nowhere to run when the sweating sickness arrived while Henry VIII fled to Windsor. Thomas More wrote some of the most joyful poetry of his life about a king who would later execute him. A Cornish servant woman rode through London on a blue velvet saddle. And a Scottish baby named Arthur was a political provocation in swaddling clothes. This is Henry VIII at seventeen, before everything went wrong.

What's really behind brain fog, anxiety and focus issues?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD to explore neuroinflammation, the gut-brain connection and practical steps to improve brain health.
We're in London. Where our 21-year-old daughter (now) desperately wants to live. I can relate. 30 years ago, two Cornish country bumpkins (Brian and I) moved to London from the south of England. We lasted 6 months before leaving. Now, our British/Kiwi daughter has decided to do the same. She wants to stop travelling full-time with her family and live in London on her own. So we are here to settle her in. London has changed. It is not what we thought. Here are some big changes that shocked us. So much so, we decided to walk through the East End of London and share them with you. 'Cause you're the best and we bladdy lav ya.

Something's not right in the woods, at least if you're a white-tailed deer. In this episode, the guys dig into chronic wasting disease (CWD), a strange illness reshaping deer populations in many areas of the Lower 48 (and Scandinavia!). It's not caused by a virus or a bacteria, but it is related to mad cow disease. They break down what it is, how it spreads, what's happening inside infected animals, and why it's so dang hard to contain. The deer are not alright… and there's a reason.This episode was recorded on April 23, 2026 at Walton Woods Park in Amherst, NY (a suburb of Buffalo). Episode Notes and Links· Are there different CWD strains in a single animal? Chronic wasting disease isn't a single, uniform pathogen. It's more like a shifting swarm. Infected deer can carry multiple prion “strains” at once, meaning different misfolded shapes of the same protein that behave in slightly different ways. They could spread through the body differently, build up in different tissues, and cause disease at different rates. Lab experiments show this most clearly: when CWD prions are passed through model systems, what looks like one strain can split into multiple distinct variants, or reveal that a mixed population was there all along (e.g., Angers et al. 2010 PNAS; Béringue et al. 2012 Journal of Virology; Li et al. 2010 Journal of Virology). In actual deer, the picture is harder to pin down, but studies comparing prions from different tissues and individuals show real strain diversity and suggest that more than one strain can exist within a single animal (e.g., Angers et al. 2009 Journal of Virology; Moore et al. 2016 Emerging Infectious Diseases). The takeaway is that CWD behaves less like a single disease agent and more like a moving target: a cloud of protein shapes, some dominant, some hidden in the background, that can shift over time, giving the disease more chances to adapt, persist, and potentially jump into new hosts.· Does repeated exposure to CWD reduce incubation time in deer? Repeated exposure to CWD prions does likely shortens incubation time, mainly because prion diseases are strongly dose-dependent. Higher cumulative exposure, whether from a single large dose or many smaller ones over time, can both increase the chance of infection and accelerate disease progression. Experimental studies in deer and elk show that animals exposed to higher or repeated doses tend to develop symptoms faster than those exposed once at low levels. In the wild, this likely plays out through repeated contact with contaminated environments like soil, plants, and carcass sites. That said, factors like genetics and prion strain can still influence how quickly the disease develops in any given animal.· Is CWD the only prion disease that affects wildlife? CWD is the only prion disease currently thriving as a self-sustaining epidemic in wild populations. The others mostly sit at the edges and are livestock diseases that occasionally spill into wildlife or appear in captive/wild interface cases. For example, scrapie occasionally “leaks” into the wild (it has been found in bighorn sheep), but it doesn't take over. It flickers at the edges of livestock systems. Nothing like the landscape-level, self-sustaining spread we see with CWD. That's what makes CWD so concerning: it's not just present in wildlife, it seems to be built for it.· Steve talked about the possibility of vampire bats and wild hogs spreading CWD. What's the story? There's currently no evidence that vampire bats are spreading CWD, but the wild hog story has gotten more interesting recently. Blood-feeding bats like the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) are often mentioned because prions can occur in blood at low levels, but there are no peer-reviewed studies showing bat-mediated transmission, nor any field patterns linking bats to CWD spread. So the bat idea remains speculative. Wild hogs (Sus scrofa), on the other hand, have moved beyond pure theory. A recent peer-reviewed study (e.g., Soto et al. 2025 Emerging Infectious Diseases) detected low levels of CWD prion activity in free-ranging pigs in endemic areas, suggesting they can pick up and carry prions after scavenging infected carcasses. Combine this with earlier work showing prions can survive digestion and still remain infectious (e.g., Nichols et al. 2009 PLoS ONE), it all points to hogs as plausible mechanical vectors: in other words, organisms that can move infectious material without necessarily developing the disease themselves. The takeaway: vampire bats are still a biologically interesting but unsupported idea, while wild hogs are emerging as potential “messy middlemen,” capable of redistributing prions across the landscape, even if they're not a primary engine of CWD transmission, which is still driven by deer-to-deer contact and long-lived environmental contamination.· Why doesn't NYS do more free testing?New York doesn't offer broad, free testing for every deer. Not because it's ignoring CWD, but because it uses a more targeted, strategic approach. There are a few key constraints on broad, free testing:Cost & logistics: Each test isn't just a swab. It involves lab processing (often PCR or amplification assays), trained staff, and sample handling. Scaling that to hundreds of thousands of deer is a major lift.Low prevalence (right now): When disease prevalence is near zero, mass testing tends to return very few positives, so agencies prioritize early detection in hotspots instead.Management strategy: Agencies often invest more in prevention (carcass transport rules, feeding bans, education) than broad surveillance.Hunter participation: “Free for all” testing can overwhelm systems unless tightly managed, and many states have learned that targeted programs get better data per dollar.So NYS is focusing its efforts on where they see it mattering most: high-risk areas, roadkills, sick/dead deer, and zones near known outbreaks—because testing every hunter-harvested deer statewide would be extremely expensive for relatively low yield in a state with no established CWD population.More info on NY's response, as well as what's happening nationally:The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation's page on CWD (including information on how you can help, scroll down to “Members of the Public”)CWD in Captive Deer: DEC's Response in 2024Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and Management: What Has Worked and What Has Not?

Dr. Eboni Cornish is the Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and president-elect of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), with 16+ years specializing in neuroinflammation, Lyme disease, mold illness, PANS/PANDAS, and long COVID. In this episode, she joins Karena to break down the overlooked root causes driving brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, and chronic illness — making the case that most people suffering from mood and cognitive symptoms have an underlying physical cause that's going completely undetected. What if the anxiety, brain fog, and exhaustion you've been managing as mental health symptoms are actually your body flagging something physical — something that's never been investigated? When mental health is treated as brain health, the entire conversation changes. Dr. Eboni Cornish shows us what's possible when we stop medicating symptoms and start asking why. (02:15) Brain Health Is the Missing Piece of Longevity You can sauna, plunge, and lift — but if you're not sleeping, your brain can't heal Non-restorative sleep is the number one red flag your brain is under stress Hormones, cortisol, and fight-or-flight mode all disrupt sleep Supplements Dr. Cornish recommends: L-theanine, GABA, and magnesium (18:31) Mold, Environmental Toxins & Your Mood Mold toxins cause inflammation that mimics depression, anxiety, and even dementia Some patients' mood symptoms resolved entirely after leaving a water-damaged building HLA gene testing can reveal whether your body can clear mold toxins or retains them Brain fog is a symptom, not a diagnosis (33:49) Lyme Disease, Tick Bites & PANS/PANDAS in Kids and Adults Less than 50% of people with Lyme ever notice a tick bite or bullseye rash Lyme is a global disease, a "great imitator" that can present as depression, fatigue, or psychosis In kids, sudden personality changes after illness can signal PANS/PANDAS, an autoimmune neuropsychiatric response Thanks for the support from our partners, including: Guest Resources Visit Dr. Eboni Cornish's website (https://www.drebonicornish.com/) Follow her on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/dr.ebonicornish/) Learn about Amen Clinics (https://www.amenclinics.com) Find an ILADS-trained physician (https://www.ilads.org) If this episode moved you, please consider supporting The Big Silence Foundation and exploring our resources: Connect with The Big Silence Community Order: The Big Silence Memoir audiobook (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/audiobook) Shop The Big Silence Self Love Collection (https://thebigsilence.com/collections/shop-all) Subscribe on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaL3RrbvDLuTTGFN4VYzEpw) Donate to The Big Silence Foundation (https://thebigsilence.com/donate) The Big Silence Resource Guide (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/resources) Find exclusive offers from our supporters (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/our-podcast-partners) Show Resources: VISIT THE CHALLENGE PAGE (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/new-year-new-tiyou-challenge) THE BIG SILENCE PODCAST (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-big-silence/id1607181597) TONE IT DOWN PODCAST (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/tone-it-down-podcast) Tone It Up App (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/tone-it-up-app) Tone It Up YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@toneitup/featured) Tone It Up Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/toneitup/?hl=en) Have a message for Karena?

Owlman of Mawnan | Paranormal Podcast #owlmanofmawnan This week, we took a deep dive into one of Britain's most compelling cryptid mysteries this episode: the Owlman of Mawnan, a gray-feathered, red-eyed, man-sized winged humanoid that's been terrorizing the woods near a 13th century Cornish church since the 1970s, and somehow keeps showing up specifically in front of young women. We walked through the most popular documented sighting, got into the bizarre cluster of paranormal weirdness happening across Cornwall during that era — dolphin attacks, teleporting cattle, birds beating themselves to death against walls — and explored some genuinely fascinating theories about what this thing actually is. It's got shades of Mothman, it's got a possible poltergeist connection, it's got a surrealist artist who died 16 days before the first sighting and painted almost the exact scene years earlier, and more!
TODAY on the GWA Podcast, is art historian, Alyce Mahon discussing the great Surrealist, Dorothea Tanning. Born in Illinois in 1910, where she said “nothing happened but the wallpaper”, Tanning immersed herself in gothic literature to escape to other worlds. Travelling to Paris to hunt down the Surrealists, Tanning “entered” or “birthed” herself into art in 1942 with her self-portrait “Birthday”, which sees her bare-breasted and standing in front of slightly ajar doors that seemingly lead to nowhere. Settling in NYC, where she exhibited with Peggy Guggenheim, it was then to the wide-open landscape of Sedona Arizona, where she painted Caspar David Friedrich-like paintings of herself standing before nature – ”asserting the centrality of woman” (as Mahon wrote in her new book). She then returned to postwar France and, switching up her style, moved into a cloud-like and splintered abstractions, before turning to bodily-like soft-sculptures. Although she famously said, "don't ask me to explain my paintings". Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art and a Fellow of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, Mahon is one of the leading scholars on Surrealism in the world today. The author of numerous books including Surrealism and the Politics of Eros, 1938-1968 (2005), Eroticism & Art (2005), The Marquis de Sade and the Avant-Garde (2020), Mahon has also curated or advised on exhibitions on the likes of Leonor Fini, the great Argentine-born artist known for her meticulously rendered, proto-punk renaissance-like works, who she discussed with us on episode 48, as well as the Indian-born, once Cornish-based Ithell Colquhoun. Mahon was the curator of the monumental exhibition at Tate Modern in 2018, and now – has just published a brilliant, extensive book: Dorothea Tanning, a Surrealist world – our with Yale UP this month – that charts her life story across the places she lived in America and France and the place she imagined in her art, bringing alive her works, steeping them in history, and introducing us to Tanning's surreal world – and I can't wait to find out more.
